Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Jul 25, 2012.
Split off from the Russian news thread:
The article also mentions Nicolas Hejzlar (Czech rep.) and Méliné Habechian, who tried out with Kocon this year.
The quote from Lubov: "I wanted to go on the ice out of pleasure and not out of duty" tells it all.
We should see them at the Masters competition in October.
Ilushechkina and Kocon are extremely unlikely to become a threat to the Russian teams so Piseev really could just release her. :/
Well, probably not immediately, but if she managed to place with Maisuradze sixth at Europeans just when they were freshly out of Juniors a few years ago and Kocon managed to be sixth at Europeans twice, they shouldn't be 'completely useless'. I can't see them beating the Germans, or Volosozhar-Trankov, or Kawaguti-Smirnov, but if she becomes more consistent with her jumps, they could easily medal at the Europeans after the Olympics, when these three strongest pairs probably retire. I know that Lubov had a huge issue with the jumps the last few years, but from the interview Pavlova gave in April/May, I think the training environment wasn't very nice for her, and that can have a huge impact on jumps.
I agree with you, it sounds like her training environment and her coach was her Achille's heel and nothing more. She is young enough and so is he that they could do really well if the stars could align for them. I just think she had a bad season last year and just couldn't take it anymore. I hope they do well.
Ooo, France will now have 3 good pair teams. I'm not holding out much hope for James/Cipres to improve a lot, but Popova/Massot and now Iliushechkina/Kocon both have potential. Hopefully Lubov will get released sooner rather than later by the Russian Federation.
I agree with what's been said about her having a tough season and I am hopeful a more relaxed training environment would be better for her -at least for starters.
We'll have to wait to see if she can get away with this. Hopefully they'll release her but she can also end like Morgan Matthews, Vanessa Crone or Julia Vlassov :S. A shame if that happens.
Vanessa Crone is still looking for a partner and I'm hoping she finds one. She posted on FB there would be an announcement made this week-end. Am still about Vlassov and Hogner never getting a chance to compete, but am hoping you're prematurely sticking a fork in Vanessa's career.
here is what I think:
Liubov is very upset not only with her previous coach but also with the Russian Fed for not doing enough for her when she was in her hell zone with Pavlova, by skating for France stubbornly, in a way she is giving a middle finger not only to Pavlova but to her Federation as well .
clearly she loves skating but previously she looked like she was burdened from her last partnership and coaching, poor Liubov
How about: She found a partner whom she gets on well with and a training environment that works for her?
The Pairs training environment in Paris is far from being ideal. Since Stanislav Leonovich left, the program took a big nose dive. JR Racle and the Francais Volants team is probably a more nurturing environment, but most French pairs end up wanting to leave Paris to improve their skills. Camps with Ingo in Germany or in Montreal can be costly and the French Fed won't financially support multiple pairs.
Lubov and Yannick have to show that they can be the number 1 French pair if they want support.
Anyhow, things worked out as she wanted I hope they have a good career ahead of them!
Hopefully they don't view it as being given the "middle finger," as that may not bode well for a quick release.
I believe (correct me if I am wrong), at the time when Marina Anissina left Russia for France, France was not exactly any brilliant training environment for dancers. As far as I remember from one of her interviews, she was shocked by their working morale (or lack of it). She was describing it like if they all did it as a hobby and not an elite sport. I think she said in one interview that the French spent 15 minutes every morning kissing each other on cheek and asking how they are, instead of getting on with hard training. ) My point is, if you have a talented pair, where they get on with each other, reasonably good coach and nurturing environment, you can get somewhere even without support of French skating federation. And if they eventually become French pair number one, I am sure federation will start supporting them.
They can't hold her longer than two years from the last time she competed for them last time internationally, is that correct?
Sure you can, but it would be that much easier with official support. When Bonheur and Canac teamed up, they were training at daytime public sessions since they were getting no funding at all. They ended up retiring (even if they looked very good for such a new pair) and I would think this lack of support played into it.
Yes and no. USFS had rules in place ~ 2006 that allowed them to hold skaters who had certain placements for four seasons, which is what the told Morgan Matthews they would do, even though they later released Zavozin in a shorter time.
According to Rule 109 paragraph 5, the ISU Council can grant an exception to the usual rules, which include the requirement to get federation release. However, the rule has been in effect since at least the Constitution before 2008, and I'm not sure there's ever been a case where an exception request has been filed.
The interesting thing is that if an exception is granted, the skater/team isn't part of either country's quota of spots. It's like the skater/pair is an invited guest of the ISU. If they win prize money, I wonder where it goes, since, usually, it's submitted directly to the federation.
Has there been any cases of such recently? It's really interesting/odd.
Re-posting from the Russian news thread:
ETA their SP result/scores at the French Masters competition:
3 Liubov ILYUSHECHKINA / Yannick KOCON 47.60 [27.54 TES, 20.06 PCS]
Does anyone have a clip from their competition at French Masters?

- Our Story
- Pairings & Recipes
Developed for baking and beverages, our Natural Cocoa Powder is made from perfectly roasted and well-fermented beans. Packaged with recipe ideas in a 6 oz. canister, it is great for any baker or lover of hot chocolate.
Serves 8 to 10
(From The Essence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine Chocolate (Hyperion 2006) By John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg)
Some of our recipe testers said, "If you could only have one recipe for chocolate cake, this would be the one." With a recommendation like that, how could we not share it with you?
For the Cake
For the Frosting
To Make the Cake
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter and flour the parchment and the sides of the pans.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing on low speed. Mix in the eggs, oil, and milk.
Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the water. The batter will be soupy.
Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn the layers out onto the rack and cool completely.
When the cakes have cooled, check the frosting. It should have the consistency of mayonnaise. If it is still too thin, allow it to cool longer.
To Make the Frosting
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cream and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Add the chocolate and butter and stir until melted. Pour into a bowl and stir in the vanilla.
To Frost the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the frosting with a hot palette knife or icing spatula to give the frosting a beautiful shine. Run the knife under hot tap water and dry with a towel. Spread about 3/4 cup of the frosting over the top of the first layer. Top with the second layer. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, heating the knife again as necessary.

They don't need an assault-style weapon. If there are bad guys on the property, walk out on the balcony and fire a couple blasts from their double-barrel shotgun. "You don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself," he adds, and a shotgun's easier to aim than an assault-style rifle. Plus, two shotgun blasts should scare off most intruders, Biden says.
Biden: For Protection; 'Buy A Shotgun, Buy A Shotgun' : The Two-Way : NPR
Sure Joe makes sense to me.. Noisy neighbor kids making to much noise, can not sleep.. How the frig do you know if their intruders, did you look ??????
Just let go with both barrels, that should quiet them down...
Oh my living God.. NUTS... :loopeye:
if you fire shots in the air --ain't that a charge of "reckless discharge of a firearm!"
the damn cops get there ain't there ain't no dead intruder--who gets arrested?
the person holding the shotgun that was fired in the city limits!
so you have a VP telling YOU to break the law--?? ok--LOL
Sure Joe, down here in the swamps, we see people on the front lawn. Hell we just open up with the double..
Oh my God. I can not wait till Saturday Night Live gets a grip on that one. :lol:
Look at the guy on NPR doing the interview.. Even he is looking at him like. "WTF are you friggen nuts?"
Biden don't know his ass from a hole in the ground! a double barrel isn't going to do you a damm bit of good when you have 3-4 people trying commit a home invasion on your house in the middle of the night! but then again he has Secret service protection 24/7.
Biden says says you can't aim a AR15 eathier, then tell me then how come All US service men and women have to qualify with the M16 on Semi Automatic and this has been since
it came out and was put into service, Grant you the first ones had thier problems of jamming and what not, but like any other item that is new once you get the bugs out it will work fine! THERE ARE SEVERAL EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY BIDEN & AND OBAMA AND THE REST OF HIS GUN GRABBING PALS! And in addition to his comment that you can't aim an AR15 tell that to the many of competitions that are held where AR15's are used. Im waiting for his next stupid comment, which could be use a slingshot instead! I think Bidens brain is pickled from to much booze.Heres a thought since he's so confident in a shotgun , Take away his secret service protection, since hes only the Vise President anyway and and tell him to use his double barrel shotgun for protection since there has to be major federal budget cuts and see how fast he shuts his big fat mouth! If anyone take his advise and something were to happen to that person ( and I hope & prey no harm would ever come to a US Citizan by listening to his stupid advise!) I would love to see him get slapped with the biggest lawsuit he could never get out of! no matter how hard he tried and watch him loose everything right down to his last penney!. People like this has no bussiness being in politics! they are only out for themselfs, And only cause problems for the Citizans of this country, and by Citizans I mean the ones whom are not wealthy, I'm talking about the middle class to the downright down and out citizan, and just for the sake of arguement how many of the homeless are American Vet's. and yet these brave men and women are homless , many with PTSD and other major health issues both physical and mental. But when the goverment uses something up they just throw it away and dont bother to fix it! and that includes american veterans!...Doc
Good point if a shot gun is better then why don't our troops an Secret service carry them inside?
hears the deal with the shotgun-- there have been used by criminals LONGER than rifles.
and they have been used in mass shootings as well. including school shootings.
so the plan is to "ban evil military style weapons."
then the next time there is a shooting with a shotgun that gets in the press they will an excuse and a legal foot hold on banning shotguns as well.
it is called "death by 1,000 cuts" in china. and if they can bann semi-auto rifles they can damn well ban shotguns any time they feel like it.
my point exactly, however they do use shotguns, How ever I have seen Federeral Inforcement Officers, ICE, and Certain State LEA'a, use shotguns that are on the old fderal Ban list wich list them as a destructive Devise wich is the Spas 12 and the Sweet Sweeper, But like anything else RHIP- ( Rank Has it's Previdgles) however I have brained stormed a few ideas and am currently working on a special item. I catually soend a few hours on each one a day, even if it cleaning, re-evaluating the project at hand. and of course hunting down special parts.And who says retirements not fun,Doc
I'll try this again. Up close and personal mr. Brain dead Biden, my weapon of choice is my 18" winchester 97. The word being 18". It only holds 5 rounds of 000 buck shot. My little pump 97 therefore puts out an equivalent of 45 rounds of .30 cal. ammunition faster than I can pull the trigger on my AK. And I can load it faster than clearing a long barreled double. But then of course you assnine hypocrit, you have have a whole bunch of SS guys and gals protecting you. And they can shoot way more rounds than an AK(Which is a hunting rifle bye the way).

Sometimes it depends on how many of my friends they have been with.
How often do you wipe down, clean your safe queens .. the ones you haven't shot in a while?
How much of a cleaning do you give them, if at all?
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Sometimes it depends on how many of my friends they have been with.
Oh.......sorry, I misunderstood............
I couldn't answer that as I shoot everything I got fairly often. I don't think I got a gun that isn't shot about every two momths. When I am done they get a good cleaning and are put up.
Great post and it hit home with me. I'm starting to weed out those queens and replace them with kings. I just got rid of my Glock 30 because I stopped taking it to the range. I loved that gun and carried it for a year but noticed it was hanging out in the safe doing nothing so I found it a nice home. I hope to replace it with a Para 1911 soon but I have to weed out one more. The word is out at the safe and for some reason all the guns are shooting much better. I think they all want to stay. (Guns are people too)
I only have one safe queen - I divested myself of all the others a year or two ago. I clean/wipe it down when I shoot it, which is maybe twice a year. But I live in AZ, with very, very little humidity.
It depends on the enviroment in which it kept. Mine are wiped down every 3 monthes reguardless. I have humidity control devices and temp control, but I love getting them out to look at. The ones that are out of the safe and in glass front cabinets every 30 to 90 days as well as the 3 on the walls.
Im like Baldy...........whats a safe queen???
I guess I am like some others here, I don't own a safe Queen unless you count my black powder revolvers since I only shoot them once every year or two.
I bought one recently. A Colt Army Special. I don't even have any ammo for it. It had sentimental value. It was made in 1911. (MY favorite year.)
Last edited by res1b3uq; 05-14-2007 at 02:05 PM. Reason: duplication
In a matter of speaking - every gun I own besides my two carry guns (Keltec and P99 compact) are safe queens. I never holster them, and carry them in their boxes back and forth to the range. But, I reoil the rails and wipe them down 1x a month - so they are ready the next time I go shoot.
An old co-worker used to tease me about my "museum pieces" as he called them.

Hey everyone!
Early this December I have to put together an end of year thank you dinner for all of my county's Search and Rescue teams. This is to thank all the volunteers that put in hundreds of hours this year with the Clatsop County Search and Rescue Ground Team, High Angle Rescue Team, and Underwater Recovery Team. The night is free for volunteers and their families and they receive a free dinner and raffle. I now need to go around looking for donations for the event. I am going to be checking locally but was wondering if any of you guys had anything that you would like to donate for the raffle. It would be extremely appreciated! If you have anything that you would like to contribute, you can post a reply below or give me a PM. I can also send out a letterhead if you like! Thanks for your help guys!

Howdy guys. I've been lurking for a while now answering a few thre4ads here and there and I love what you guys do. Some of the stuff on here is great and has been a real inspiration for me. Ive been wanting to do a Fett costume for about 10 years but I was young and didnt have the funds to do it, but I've finally got the time, money and the excuse to attempt this endeavor. I started this about 3-4 months ago but actually got the armour done 2 days before i needed it for jediforce 2007 in melborne a fortnight ago. It still needs a lot of work and a jet pack, but here it is my new jango. I appologise about the low res pics, I will take more when i next suit up after ive done some alterations to my gauntlets and backplate. What do you guys think? Be as harsh as you need to be.
cheers :jango

Thanks for taking the time Zippelk. X:X X:X X:X Very interesting. but then I'm a liberal. :-D I even believe in evolution.
FYI. Dubya cut the Bill Clinton program to create 6 passenger 80 MPG cars by 2004.
Electric cars need to evolve to become a truly viable option and that requires them to actually be used and tested and yes that means to begin with there will be major manufacturing inefficiency and such before it can evolve into a great product which I believe it could be. In the case of the electric car I believe federal funding would be great when you look at the real benefit it will have with our economy, industry, and so on. In ten years we all could benefit from it.
Thanks for taking the time Zippelk.
When the earth was forming the atmosphere was full of carbon...
That is why you believe in a flawed idea (evolution) instead of cold hard math.
let me know when that theory of evolution is smoothed out. … i don't think it's about money either. … it plays well with the granola crunchers …
so far, the mathematics of genetic mutation are making it harder and harder to believe in evolution in the way many insist on embracing as fact.
all the while evil man has figured out how to feed the planet, conquer disease, protect against the elements, extend life....not to mention leaving the planet, instant communication all over the world, etc.
If Darwins origin of a species was fact we would call it a law, not a theory. Evolution occurs. There is no doubt about that. You seem to be confusing evolution of species that already exist and the notion that evolution created all species. That's what's at play and in doubt here. Facts are laws. Unproven ideas are theories. Sorry but that's the way it is.
I guess I should have said politics has no place in science. Science, more specifically, theories have no place in determining policy until they are laws IMO. It's just an opinion. Sometimes science is wrong and, therefore, policy derived from it would be wrong.
OK Zippelk, let me ask you this. How many planets are out there where intelligent life have evolved?
Since evolution is so "simple" in your mind, why haven't we heard the radio waves from all those extra terrestrials yet? The Universe has been around for some 15 billion years, right? Where are all your evolved ETs?
BTW, Johnny253, I think you were spot on with your analysis!

None of the competition has been as good as the iPad2 so at the same price it was a no brainer. A product that is 'nearly' as good but for less money will appeal to lots of people. Wether this is cheap enough or the product good enough remains to be seen, but it's a good start.
Last year apple held over 90% of the tablet market., this year its down to 60-something. in just one year they've lost nearly a third of the market share they held.
Amazon has now joined the game and they have a retail powerhouse that gives them many advantages over other Android Tablet manufacturers.
Price will make anything move but price is not whats driving or hindering tablet sales weather its iOS or Android.
Every aspect of the Android OS is growing and growing at a tremendous rate. by October, Android tablets will have Quad Core processors and true 720p displays, Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to address the shortcomings of Android and the myth about a lack of tablet specific apps has already but put to rest.
Apple sells well because of the name apple, even if they put out a clearly inferior product it will sell well because apple has a dependency on the uninformed consumer. and uninformed consumers don't know of and don't care about specs ecosystems.
I asked a young lady once, why she wanted an iPhone? all she could do is giggle and shrug her shoulders. she only wanted it because its an iPhone. I honestly believe that MOST iDevice owners are just like her.
The HP Touchpad failed because of lack of apps, and the price was to high. It has great hardware, just crap for software.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the only true competitor to the iPad 2. IMO the Galaxy Tab is better then iPad 2. It's thinner, lighter and faster. ( Now I see why apple is suing Samsung.)
But anyways, any tablet that has great hardware like the HP Touchpad. At $99 or $149 is a complete steal.
Android will catch up with iOS one day but all reviews I've seen of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 so far say that it's not their yet. Android phones have taken market share because they are many and cheaper (in the main). If anyone can develop a tablet that is as good as the iPad it still has the App store to compete against - and the apps just aren't there yet on the android store for tablets - and those that are can't be found.
Flash and multitasking haven't persuaded the buyers - only price, I believe, will.
I believe HP were losing over $200 for every tablet they sold at those prices so I don't believe we will see anything like that in the near future.
Android has some advantages over iOS - but what seem like advantages to tech savvy users can seem like disadvantages to end users. The iPad has been so successful (IMHO) because it can be taken out of the box and used by a child - no tinkering needed - it is a consumer product.
I'm sure the market will change but at the moment I don't see anything even in the pipeline, to knock the iPad2 of it's number one spot - except, of course, the iPad3.
Nice prejudice there from one data point. You probably also like to drive old British cars so you can tinker 10 hours for every one hour of driving. The rest of the world buys reliable modern cars so they can just hop in and get to their destination. It's the task, stupid, not the tool.I asked a young lady once, why she wanted an iPhone? all she could do is giggle and shrug her shoulders. she only wanted it because its an iPhone. I honestly believe that MOST iDevice owners are just like her.
"Many reviewers of the TouchPad rag on the performance (or hardware) of the product, but honestly a little homebrewing (which is majorly supported by WebOS) and your touchpad will be flying just like an iPad2."
Wonderful..."yes, many people rag on the Yugo's performance, but really just a little garage tinkering and tuneup and it'll run great just like a Honda."
WebOS is great - I had high hopes for it. But it is now, effectively if not actually, dead. It was the one OS best able to challenge iOS IMHO - now we are left with Android, Windows Phone and Bada - the latter two I have very little faith in.
I hope I'm proved wrong, but I'm not that impressed at the moment with the alternatives
I personally thought the touchpad failed because it only had wi-fi connectivity. Despite the proliferation of public wi-fi hot spots, it's still not everywhere.
Amazon did it right with the Kindle when they offered free 3G. They need to keep that up. A wi-fi only device is worthless to me.
Amazon get the content providers to pay for the 3G on the Kindle (which is why there are so few pictures as they pay by the kb) they couldnt do that with the Internet...
Lots of people are happy with WiFi only and don't want to pay the premium for a 3G device or the £20 every 6 months for the data.

Following the successful installation of MASCOT into the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft in Sagamihara, the final preparations have taken place at the Tanegashima launch complex in Japan. The attachment of the solar sails – carefully folded up above MASCOT for the launch – offers the last opportunity to see MASCOT. Now, the development team must take a step back – it is a strange feeling. For two and a half years, we have been nurturing MASCOT, seeing it grow, teaching it plenty. But now it is time to let go, in the truest sense of the word, and send it on its difficult mission. Unfortunately, we cannot accompany it.

Chrome Trucker Chicks Rul
server help please
I have to get a Windows server to run a terminal server and do file sharing. I will have 3-5 users.1-2 will be out of state. I plan on using a regular pc in a half depth rack chasis.
What software should I buy? Do I need special terminal server software? Can I get small business addition? Should I? I don't know anything about all the versions and don't want to buy anything without being sure of what I need.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

SBS (now called Essentials) can do remote desktop services with their premium upgrade option. You'll be looking at a minimum of two server instances whether you use Essentials or Windows Standard Edition.

Can you explain that a little more? what do you mean by two instances?
My software company said they have terminal server module that works with their main program. They said it has to be installed on any version of windows server. Then I would be able to log on (remotely) and run their program without having any.special software loaded onto the computer I was using. They never mentioned remote desktop.

Remote Desktop (RDP) is the fancy name for logging in remotely.
By two instances I mean you have Windows Server instance 1 that has Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, file shares and Windows Server instance 2 that has Remote Desktop Services for your remote users to log on to and be presented with a desktop. This second instance is where you'd install your vendors program. Think of instance 2 as a glorified PC that supports N number of simultaneous remote logons by your users and think of instance 1 as providing the basic infrastructure to support the computing environment.
I used the word instance because instead of buying multiple physical servers, some people buy hardware that's a little more robust and install a virtualization layer like Hyper V or ESXi and then install Virtual Machines on top of the virtualization layer.

you should also include a remote desktop gateway server if this is to be accessible publicly. If your users access via vpn, not necessary.
And yes, remote desktop is the new name for terminal.

I can use a vpn for access, if I did that then they would have access to the rest of my network. I like the idea of them only accessing the server and then using the server permissions to limit what they can see or not see. I can set up a different virtual network in my router. Can the server be on two networks at the same time? then each network would be able to access the server but not users or shares on the other network.
Currently, I have pc's in the office with vendor software loaded onto them and the data files stored on a synology disk-station server. I mapped network drives to the pc's so the user can access the different files and the vendor software can access the data files. When I install Microsoft server, should I have the local users log onto the server in remote desktop or should they continue to only use the file sharing portion of the server and continue to use the old method?
so what do I have to buy? Where is the cheapest place to buy it?
Should I buy 2003? 2008? 2012?
This looks like standard addition and does not have remote desktop? http://www.google.com/shopping/produ...ed=0CGMQ8wIwAA

So these users who are going to access the server are untrusted users? Are they not a part of your company? This is a big security issue. Do you have an existing domain with a domain controller?
Remote Desktop Gateway is easy to set up, it's just a roll that a server provides. It's considered unsafe to have the RDP port open to the internet and the RDP gateway is a safe way for public access. RDP Gateway is only available on server 2008.
You will need virtualization if you want to run three instances of server. Hyper-v 2012 is free or you could run Hyper-v inside 2008 standard.
Does this file share that the vendor application needs to access also need to be accessed by users inside your work? If not you could set up the RDP server and RDP Gateway on a separate network or DMZ.
As far as pricing, I'm not sure, I do not purchase our software or hardware.

RDP Cals are separate from regular cals, they will have to be purchased separately. I'm not up on my licensing but I think if you purchase some windows 2012 or 2008 licenses it may allow you two have two instances of server.

EDIT: Unless your vendor says they're not ready for version X, I wouldn't recommend buying the older versions. You will want the enhancements and bug fixes the newer software has. You should also consider buying from reputable sources and not just random cheap sites via Google searches. There are a lot of rape sites with counterfeit software. Plus, since you're describing multiple desktops and servers in your business already, you should investigate Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. You'll get better pricing under a volume license program.

is RDP gateway just software that I would set up?
the file share would be used locally and remotely. Quickbooks would only be used locally and the vendor software is a d-base file set that would be used locally and remotely. the file sharing is mostly saving, viewing and sending pdf files from and to email.

There's no trial version of Remote Desktop Services, it's just a role that you add to the Windows Server you'll be allowing remote users to log on to. But there is trial versions of Windows so you can get it all set up and try it out before you fork over your money.
When you add the role, it has a 120 day expiry. After 120 days you have to plug in client access licenses to continue using the remote login feature. There are some sources out there that can tell you which bits to flip to get another 120 days.

I would call MS directly to make sure you know what you're purchasing. I'm not completely up on 2012, but from what I've seen (and being that it is the "replacement" for SBS), you are only allowed 2 RDP connections to Essentials, for administration. You cannot install RDS on Essentials (same as SBS was).
You are limited to the number of end users (same as SBS), which could become a problem in the future.
And it is also my understanding the Hyper-V role is not there for Essentials, so you cannot use Essentials to run virtuals.
Also, if Essentials is the same as SBS was, it will force you (there were ways around the old SBS, not sure on Essentials) to install as an Active Directory/Domain controller environment. Running RDS on a domain controller is not recommended. And honestly, for what you're looking to do, having something that is a DC is only going to add to the overhead.

With a limited budget and the scenario you posted I would do this one of two ways. It is not ideal but will get the job done.
A) Three servers. 1- Domain controller, 1- RDP server, 1-RDP Gateway. Everyone who has to connect inside and outside of the network needs their own account on the domain. Through NTFS permissions you can restrict access to resources like file shares and other computers.
B) Two servers. 1- Domain Controller, 1-RDP Server, VPN Access
What do you have for VPN? Does your VPN appliance support RADIUS authentication?
RDP gateway is just a role that Windows server can do. Windows servers have roles and features.
If you want to start restricting access to resources it's time for a domain and a domain will be needed if your company grows. You will use NTFS permission and group policies to restrict access to resources. This is throwing security out the window having three separate companies access the same resources but I doubt your budget allows for anything else.

The router has RADIUS on it. I dont know what it is or how to set it up, but I can call tech support. My disk station has the ability to do a RADIUS server. It said it had something to do with wireless access????
I thought Windows server controls the domain by the users log in on the windows machine??

The remote resort town of Fjällbacka has seen more than its share of tragedies, but a little girl found in a fisherman's net may be the worst yet - especially when the postmortem reveals that this was a methodical murder, not an accidental drowning.
Local detective Patrik Hedstrom has just become a father, and it's his grim task to discover who could have killed a child both he and his partner Erica knew well. He realizes that the solution lies with finding a motive for this terrible crime. Although Hedstrom is no stranger to the criminal mind, he couldn't possibly predict how this case will reach into Fjällbacka's darkest heart, spanning generations and ripping aside its idyllic façade, perhaps forever.
©2012 Camilla Lackberg (Pegasus Books Edition). Translation © 2009 Steven T. Murray. Recorded by arrangement with Pegasus Books. (P)2012 HighBridge Company
"A perfectly plotted and paced mystery bolstered by strong, realistic characters makes this a must-read for all followers of Scandinavian crime fiction." (Booklist)
"[Camilla Lackberg] strips conventional veneers from her achingly complex characters." (Publishers Weekly)
"The Stonecutter, by Camilla Läckberg . . . continues her excellent series . . . The main narrative is cleverly interspersed with flashbacks from the past, the relevance of which becomes apparent as the novel progresses. Läckberg is particularly good at portraying the claustrophobia of a small community in which everyone knows everyone else and the police may well be friends with killers." (Marcel Berlins, The Times)
"Extremely enjoyable"
This book was a surprise. The narration was well done. I was engrossed and entertained through out. l especially like the writing style of the author. This is well work the time. I highly recommend this to my fellow audio book listeners.
The narrator was excellent,so I would say I got more from the listening experience.
Ms. Lackberg wove an ingenious plot from strands of the past and present to create a riveting story. The suspense and uncertainty built inexorably.
Patric was the unifying character throughout, but each player was extremely well done.
Yes - it was difficult to pace myself.
I absolutely want to listen to more from this author. She is first rate, a thrilling new Scandinavian mystery writer.
"Wow!! What a treasure!"
This is the best mystery/suspense I have read all year. Great plot and characters so well defined, I had no trouble keeping up with who was who. I had eyed this book for quite.a while and bought it when Audible put it on sale. Thanks Audible, I owe you one!
"Great listen!"
I'd recommend this book just to listen to the narrator. Easy story telling intonation. Great fun!
Loved it!
My favorite book in January
"Undeveloped characters and way too many."
No. Way too long; too many extraneous characters. Simplistic writing. Maybe it was the translation from Swedish to English, but the charcters were more like caricatures.
Cut it in half, and leave the good parts.
Definitely not.
"Unrelentlessly Cynical...but a great read!"
This book turns detective fiction upside down. The detectives are mere mortals, while the villains are the strongest characters. The author exposes the inner thoughts of all the characters. In a deliciously cynical way these thoughts reveal many of the characters to be sailing on the same ship...The Ship of Fools.
"A very good psychological thriller."
The remote resort town of Fjällbacka, Sweden, is the scene for the latest murder investigation led by Detective Patrik Hedstrom. A little girl's body is pulled up in a lobster pot. The detective is shocked when he sees her because he knows her. He and his companion just had a baby, and she was in pre-birth maternity classes with the child's mother, and the two had become close friends. When the post mortem is completed it is determined that little Sarah drowned, and not in the sea. Her lungs had regular tap water, such as from a bathtub. Additionally, there were ashes in her mouth and in her lungs. As thisi police procedural continues, ashes are thrown on other babies with an attempt to put those ashes in their mouths, but they were saved. And there is evidence of other murders that have been committed. This is a high suspense psychological thriller with two women trying to get used to having just had babies, and the interference by their mother and mother-in-law respectively. But Patrik can see that there's something not quite right about Sarah's family, and it's possible that someone in her own family planned and carried out the murder. We have two parallel plots going on, which of course become entertwined, with murders in both plots. And it's my kind of story because we, the readers, know more than the police when it's over. The best one I've read by this author
"Worst narrator ever"
This narrator is so hammy and pleased with himself that he rolls his Rs. For the first time in many years of Books on Tape and then Audible, I had to stop listening and go to the public library for a print copy in order to finish the book.
"Keeps getting better"
This is a great book. I really love the author's style of weaving stories together to resolve the plot and I really enjoy the characters too. After seeing this on an NPR best of 2012 list I decided to listen to the series and I can't wait for her latest novels to be translated!
I love to read books set in interesting places or historical settings. I especially love mysteries and thrillers.
"A Mystery that Solves Itself?"
The writing is well done and the narration is great. I am struggling with this review because it just had too many characters. In addition, all the characters get a full back-story which made this story way too long. A significant editor's cut should have been done on this book.
This story is more of a psychological thriller as only about 20% of the book contained any actual police investigation by Patric (a favorite character of mine) and his crew. The actual "solve" of the mystery was more like the clues fell into the Patric's lap instead of actual crime solving. I wasn't surprised by the ending. The twist comes so late and after so much reveal of the characters, you just want to get on with it.
Yet, Camilla Lackberg can tell a story in a very interesting way. It just wasn't the story I wanted. Hopefully, the next book will be more of the crime solving genre that I crave.

Myself, I seem to have lost the joy in cutting up cars. It is just more work to me.
Later, mikey[/QUOTE]
I have as well..Anymore unless I have a use for it it does not come around..and I have made an arrangement with a scrapper to take any left overs and scrap..
That's a scary story, doc..
Here is my experience here in California.....I don't know how it works in your state.
The 10 or 12 cars that I have gotten rid of that had no titles or were stripped beyond what the junkyards wanted, were drained of any fluids, the gas tanks removed and rendered incapable of holding fuel, then the carcass(s) were cut up into quarters with a torch and dropped into the metal bin at the recycling yard.
No junkyard around me will give you money for coming out and picking up something older than a few years old, most will charge you, that is IF you have a title.
I have brought some other cars down to the junkyard with a proper title, and if I deliver it thay will take it and give me a receipt that I can turn in to DMV that will get me off the list.
Same goes for the steel recylers. Most will take a whole car if you drain the fluids, punch holes in the gas tank and have a title of some kind with someones signature.
After you buy oxygen and acetelyne and spend the day or 2 dealing with all of the parts, and breathing all of the smoke from burning wiring, upholstery and paint and dealing with a bunch of rancid fluids ....I found that paying the junkyard to pick it up is a bargain.
The last 2 titless cars that I had hauled away by an auto recycler licensed to do abandoned vehicles cost me 175.00 each.
That is one of the pleasures of having people dump cars on your leased commercial property. The cops don't want them, ( I have the #s ran, if it was stolen then the cops take them)
And if I get caught dumping it in the street, I can get fined. No sir.
And NO I don't steal cars, junk just seems attracted to me.
In the case of the OP, he has a title, and he should really call some local junkyards or metal recyclers.
From what I have seen, the tax writeoffs are BS. Not one of those organizations will want that car. Believe me, I have tried on several occasions to get rid of RUNNING and REGISTERED cars, but found that the charities want stuff that is only a few years old. They didn't want my 91 tracer, or my 81 lincoln continental, or my 78 monte carlo. Maybe I'm just calling the wrong places.
Myself, I seem to have lost the joy in cutting up cars. It is just more work to me.

|I think u can yake a tax deduction for getting an old car off the road. That classic must have worth $ to the right person so lean down on the pen when doing taxes!
Doc here,
Years ago, I lived on a 1500 AC Vineyard in Napa..
When I was done with Scrapers..I'd Cut them into 2 foot sections with an oxy Acetylene Torch, and use them for Berm backfill along the some 2 miles of narrow road it took to get from the highway to my 150 year old Sears/Roebuck "mail~Order home"....
It was Fun , and a good aggression release..(provided I didn't set the barn ablaze..)
Words of caution:
IF there is ANY hope the Vehicle can be hashed together, and driven..AT all..even the most REMOTE possibility..
AND you PLAN to Donate it..
MAKE sure you do he following before you Let the tow driver LEAVE with the car..
MAKE sure you have a WORKING scanner or Fax machine, or a GOOD digi camera with you..
When the driver does the paperwork, COPY the following..
THEN, Take a digi photo of the car loaded un the tow truck, as it is being hauled away..commit it to hardrive..
Call your Insurance Agent, EVEN if the Vehicle is uninsured!...and let him/her know you JUST donated the car, have him/Her note the time date..
KEEP 1 copy of the release of Liability Form, Mail the other THAT day to DMV, and give the one that comes with the title to the driver..
Along with that make a signed copy of the Bill of sale and Charity receipt, mail those with the RLF..to DMV.
Retain your copy's with your personal documents in a safe place..
My son Donated a CURRENTLY registered, semi running Opel Station wagon, to a "Drug Halfway house" organization that had a section of a "Pooled" wrecking yard (same tow service for ALL the charity's junkers..) ...
Turns out the druggies, got it running , stole it off the yard , and committed SEVERAL felony's with it in one night..(Robbery, Burglary, Hit and Run, Evading..) And at 3 AM, Two uniformed California Highway Patrol Officer's and a detective Showed up at our door..with a warrant for my son's arrest..
We explained the Vehicle was donated to the charity, showed the "Write off" receipt, and it did no good at all..He was arrested as a suspect of the crimes, Taken to County Jail, and held until after Booking (The Following day around noon..Larger County Jails May take up to 2 Working days to Book incoming suspects) until I could Bail him out..and he was So charged with those offenses until Court..AND then, HAD to prove his innocence.
I have heard of other nightmares like this also..so be advised..It could happen to you..
BESIDES that, It's the law in California, to send a RLF to DMV within 10 days of the sale of a motor vehicle or Vessel..so It may be entered in the system..
HAD that been done in my son's case, when the CHP ran the Vehicle plate in the system when they recovered it..It would come back, "Plate , Clear, Current, Release of Liability received on: XX XX XX to: Druggies International, ...and THAT would have taken him out of the loop (and suspect list..)
Some people believe these "Donated" Cars go to some nice sterile Garage someplace to be rebuilt or parted out..NOT TRUE! They are all heaped together in a junk yard somewhere (usually the same operator under several charity names) where ANYBODY has access to them..
May sound like a bunch of overkill..But even if nobody gets it running, and uses it in a crime spree..If the driver hits a parked car on the way to the yard and doesn't stop, and a wittiness gets the plate, guess Who is going to pay for it??
You can have all the paperwork copied while waiting for the driver to arrive..and all he need do is sign the copies..IF he hassles you, law say's HE must sigh the RLF and Bill of sale in just about every state.If he refuses..don't let him take the car...
|Most service organizations will give you a receipt that is good for a $700 deduct on your federal taxes. Call Goodwill, Lion's Club, Kiwanis, etc. and check it out.
I had a 67 Cutlass convertible parts car without a title. After stripping it of everything I wanted, I took a torch to the (very rusty) body and frame. Chunks were small enough to fit in my pickup and in Fairfax County, VA, the dump takes scrap metal for free.
That's incredible....shows the power of the net. Scrap is so high but it must still be higher than fuel for the truck..
Cool tip, thanks
|Dirk Squarejaw
I filled out the form online and within 45-minutes a tow-truck operator out of South Bend, Indiana called me and set up a pick-up time. He said he had another car in the area that he had to pick up and I'm a good 1.5hrs from South Bend. Surprised they sent someone that far, but its getting towed at no cost to me and gets it out of the garage!
|I don't know what kind of a demand there is for a 83 Imperial. Salvage yards may tell you they are not interested. Something I have done several times after I have stripped what I wanted, that is if it can still roll on either end, is to call a wrecker and have them tow it to the local scrap yard. What you receive for scrap usually pays for the tow. And if it doesn't, I turn it in on my towing insurance.
|If all the other suggestions won't work. Cut it up in little peices with a sawzall and get rid of it.
|if you have a title most junkyards will give you 50-100 bucks for the car and pick it up, if it's pretty bare they might not give you anything, but should pick it up for free.
|Dirk Squarejaw
|You should be able to get someone (junkyard) to haul it away free if you've got a title to it. Without one, most places won't touch it.

Arsène Wenger believes this season's Premier League campaign has been one of the most exciting yet.
Neither the destination of the title, the race for Champions League football or the remaining two relegation places have been decided with three games remaining for most sides in the division.
Arsenal themselves face a crucial clash at Stoke on Saturday as they look to take one step closer to a third-place finish and Wenger admits it has been a rollercoaster ride all year.
"It is exciting because we have three or four games to go maximum for everybody and nothing is decided anywhere," he told Arsenal Player. "That is maybe the first time for a long, long time."

Will Immigration Turn Gwinnett County Blue?
Governing's December cover story is about how immigration is changing Gwinnett County, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. Here are the basics: In 1990, Gwinnett was 91 ...
Governing's December cover story is about how immigration is changing Gwinnett County, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. Here are the basics:
In 1990, Gwinnett was 91 percent white. Now, it is a different place altogether. "Gwinnett as a whole," says Bannister, "is becoming a majority-minority group of people." In fact, it already is one. In the U.S. Census Bureau's most recent American Community Survey, released this fall, the white population was down to 49.9 percent. Marina Peed, an affordable housing developer who works county-wide, says that "there's no lily white anymore anywhere in the county. I doubt if there's a single all-white subdivision in the whole county."
Today, Gwinnett has large populations of blacks, Hispanics and (perhaps most surprisingly) Asians. The county has substantial populations from Indian and Vietnam, as well as people of Asian (especially Korean) descent who are from elsewhere in the United States.
When I read this story, I thought the same thing I think whenever I read anything: What are the political implications?
We learn in the story that Gwinnett's County Commission still consists of five white, conservative Republicans. Nonetheless, I was curious whether the county, as it has become less white, has become less conservative and less Republican. While no place is exactly like Gwinnett County, whether places somewhat like Gwinnett County are becoming less Republican is a very important question.
Southern suburbs and exurbs tend to be some of the more conservative places in the country. For the past decade, they've also been among the fastest growing.
After the 2010 Census, reapportionment is going to shift some political power to Southern states, with Texas, Georgia and Florida expected to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Electoral College. Within Southern states, redistricting will shift power to the fast-growing suburbs and exurbs, which will affect state legislative politics.
Gwinnett County is a good example of this development. Georgia's population has grown by 18% so far this decade, which puts the state in line to gain one House seat. Gwinnett County's population has grown nearly twice as fast.
At least in the short-term, these trends are good news for Republicans. Longer-term, though, the political implications aren't clear because it's not obvious (to me, anyway) who all of these new Southern suburbanites are.
Are Southern suburbs growing quickly because white, conservative Republicans are having lots of white, conservative children? Or are they growing quickly because lots of new people -- people who might not be white, conservative or Republican -- are moving in?
In a lot of places, I'm sure the answer is some of each. But, in Gwinnett County, it's more the latter than the former. How is that immigration changing or not changing politics in Gwinnett County? As usual, I have a chart.
What you see here is the performance of every Democratic candidate for president, U.S. Senate and governor who has competed in a contested general election (I didn't include the runoffs) since 1990, when Gwinnett County was 91 percent white. As you can see from the difference category, in every one of these elections Gwinnett County voted more Republican than the state as whole.
The trend in that category, however, is clear. In the 1990s, Gwinnett County was almost always at least ten percentage points more Republican than the state. This decade, the difference typically was in single digits. In 2008, in both the Senate and presidential race, it hardly existed at all. As it has become more diverse, Gwinnett County has gone from being one of the most Republican parts of Georgia to a place that votes a lot like the rest of the state.
But, here's the twist. That's mainly occurred because the rest of Georgia has become a lot more Republican. Democrats used to dominate in rural Georgia. They don't anymore.
Gwinnett County has actually been remarkably consistent, given all of its demographic changes. Other than the uniquely popular Zell Miller, every Democratic candidate was stuck somewhere between 29% and 37% in the county until last year. Last year looks like a pretty big breakthrough, though President Obama's campaign created turnout dynamics that aren't likely to be replicated, except, perhaps, when he's on the ballot again.
The lesson to me is that immigration changes politics very slowly. That makes sense. Many of the first-generation immigrants can't vote. Plus, I'm not sure whether people of Korean or Vietnamese or Indian descent (as opposed to blacks and Hispanics) actually vote Democratic -- though I'd guess they'd be more likely to vote Democratic than white Southerners.
As a result, it's probably good for national Republicans that Gwinnett County will have more clout after reapportionment. A congressional seat centered there is more likely to vote Republican than one that's disappearing in New York, Ohio or Michigan.
On the other hand, if I were a Georgia Democrat I wouldn't be displeased that Gwinnett County will command more seats in the state legislature after 2010. While most of those seats will start the decade with a Republican lean, the demographics of the area are changing fast enough that they could present opportunities for the party by the end of the decade. At the very least, I have to think Gwinnett County presents a better opportunity for Democrats than the rural parts of the state that so recently deserted the party.

Head coach Derek Dooley took a giant step Wednesday toward his reorganization of the Tennessee brand, naming of former Vols defensive back Andre Lott to the position of Vol for Life (VFL)/Character Education Coordinator.
The newly-created VFL is a comprehensive program for UT's football student-athletes that centers around four areas of personal growth: character education, life skills, career development and spiritual growth.
"Hiring Andre to coordinate our VFL program is one of the many steps we have taken to reshape our culture into one that produces not only great players and great teams, but more importantly, greater men," Dooley said.
A former captain and four-year letterman from 1997-2001, Lott returns to Knoxville from West Tennessee where he was an assistant football coach, head track and field coach and Success Coordinator in the Hardin County school system. As Success Coordinator, Lott taught kids of all age groups real life skills, dealing in Savannah with such issues as broken families, drug use, bullying and teen pregnancy.
"I am excited about this opportunity and feel it is a job I was meant to do," Lott said. "I have a tremendous passion for helping develop young people, and an even greater passion for my alma mater."
Lott's playing days in Knoxville were an exciting time for the Vols, who won 53 games in those five years, played in three BCS bowl games, captured two SEC championships and won the 1998 BCS national championship in Lott's redshirt freshman campaign.
Lott was team captain in 2001 and served as a two-year member of the squad's Unity Council - a liaison group between the football team and coaching staff under Lott's head coach, Phillip Fulmer. The All-SEC defensive back was drafted in the fifth round by the Washington Redskins and played five seasons in the NFL.
"Andre represents everything it means to be a `Vol for Life,'" Dooley said. "He excelled at the highest level on the playing field in the SEC and the NFL, and did so as a man of high character and principles."
Lott, 31, hails from Memphis and is married to a Savannah native, the former Jackie Givens, who will be working in Knoxville as a nurse practitioner at East Tennessee Children's Hospital. The couple has two children: Ella Grace, 4, and Ana Lou, 19 months.

This complete guide to setting up and running a TCP/IP network is essential for network administrators, and invaluable for users of home systems that access the Internet. The book starts with the fundamentals -- what protocols do and how they work, how addresses and routing are used to move data through the network, how to set up your network connection -- and then covers, in detail, everything you need to know to exchange information via the Internet.Included are discussions on advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them, a tutorial on configuring important network services -- including DNS, Apache, sendmail, Samba, PPP, and DHCP -- as well as expanded chapters on troubleshooting and security. TCP/IP Network Administration is also a command and syntax reference for important packages such as gated, pppd, named, dhcpd, and sendmail.With coverage that includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and System V TCP/IP implementations, the third edition contains:
Craig Hunt has worked with computer systems for the last twenty years, including a stint with the federal government as both a programmer and systems programmer. He joined Honeywell to work on the WWMCCS network in the days before TCP/IP, back when the network used NCP. After Honeywell, Craig went to work for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He's still there today and is currently the leader of the Network Engineering Group. Craig is the author of TCP/IP Network Administration and other O'Reilly books.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of TCP/IP Network Administration is a land crab. Land crabs are found in tropical America, West Africa, and the Indo-Pacific region where they can be found living in burrows in fields, swamps, and mangrove thickets. They occasionally are found as far as five miles inland, returning to the sea to spawn. Land crabs are a subgroup of over 4,500 species of crabs. Classified with shrimp, lobster, and crayfish, crabs differ from these in their tail structure. Unlike the rest of their order, crabs' tails are curled under their thorax. In addition, their carapaces tend to be unusually broad. Though land crabs in the United States commonly grow to weigh no more than 18 ounces and measure 4 or 5 inches across, crabs in general range in size from less than a centimeter across to the largest, the Japanese spider crab, whose claws can span 12 feet.
