The Nightingale Plan
Just outside the old rusted gates that shut the castle from outside world, was nothing but fog, darkness and an eerie silence. Cachpole, the blacksmiths son saw some men stood near the gate, he heard them talking. They were planning to kill. Who you ask? Cachpole knew who or what as it was preferable addressed, he saw their swords tapping against the gate as they walked towards the lever to open it. The draw bridge went down, there was no one, just silence.
The knights were all dead. You could just about make out a hand or leg as though it was trying to escape the white sheet. This was a lost battle, but the war was not done. These common men hesitantly walked towards the fog, as the drawbridge went back up the last thing Cachpole saw, were the men disappearing into the fog. They briefly broke the silence with the sounds of their swords, but the silence quickly oppressed the fields of nightingale.
They weren't seen again.
How many more would the monster take before it's satisfied?

Title: Prerequisites for a successful business impact analysis

If you���re charged with performing a business impact analysis for your company, check out these prerequisites before you get started:
- Get senior management buy-in
To do a business impact analysis properly takes time, effort and staff. Without the support of top management, you���ll have a very tough time convincing staff it���s worth their time to participate. Here���s how to get buy-in: make your case with a good executive summary, explain the process of how you���ll work with staff to gather the data you need with minimal interruption and show how the BIA can be used in other ways, like vulnerability assessment, application assessment, risk management and incident response.
- Make it part of the culture
Plan to regularly revisit the business impact analysis to keep it fresh and accurate, and involve everyone in your organization in the process, from top management to entry-level staff.
- Keep it simple
A simple, short business impact analysis based on good data will get the job done if it includes accurate information about your organization���s business processes, dependencies, impacts of disruptions, resource requirements and recovery timeframes.
- Consider having a professional lead the process
It���s hard to get staff to see issues in light of the bigger picture, and often an unbiased third party can diplomatically steer your team towards thinking of the bigger picture.
The business impact analysis is key to a successful business continuity plan. To learn more about how to develop one, download this brief.

By Tom Winnifrith, The Sheriff of AIM | Friday 4 December 2015
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Now that, post the fraud Quindell (QPP) I am such good friends with the only watchdog with teeth, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) I have written to my pals asking them to investigate whether the 2015 accounts for Avanti Communications PLC (AVN) give a true impression of how the business is doing. I do not think they do. But Avanti also has other worries which is why the shares will crash.
The real problem is that having missed all operationg metrics with an admirable conistency, Avanti is not generating enough cash to cover its bloated PLC costs and humungous interest bill. I reckon that it will be out of cash but loaded with unrepayable debt by next June.
But the accounts for the year to June 30 2015 also trouble me greatly. Hence the letter to the FRC asking them to have a butcher's which is below.
Formal request to investigate annual accounts for Avanti Communications PLC for the year to June 30 2015
Dear Xxxxx.
In the last financial year Avanti Communications reported sales of $85 million. It reported an EBITDA profit of $16 million. However the company included within those numbers a one off transaction that was booked as both sales and profits of $25.1 million. This is thus a material deal in terms of bloating sales and allowing the company to report an EBITDA profit rather than a loss.
The transaction was a sort of swap arrangement with SES, the Luxembourg based global satellite operator, whereby it acquired from SES the right to use a 3Ghz Ka band payload for its remaining life of 13.5 years for a fixed cost, payable per annum, plus a variable cost based on capacity sold. In return it granted SES "in perpetuity, certain spectrum rights related to geographic markets which the group does not seek to operate"
Despite the fact that the only money changing hands here is to be from Avanti to SES, this transaction (contrary to its treatment by SES, a €10 billion company) appears in the accounts as a sale which conjures revenue of $25.1 million from (as it where) outer space. Furthermore, as this spectrum appears to have cost Avanti nothing and was not carried on the balance sheet the revenue feeds straight to the P&L account.
Over the coming years Avanti will be paying SES around $13 million under this deal. Avanti will not receive a cent for transferring an asset it was patently unable to monetise.
Correctly, in my view, SES has not recorded this deal as a purchase in its book. Why should it? It is not paying a dime. Instead it will over subsequent years be gaining an incremental income stream.
How can two companies report the same transaction in different ways? I put it to you that one of the two is representing it in a way that does not reflect the actual impact of the deal and that this is Avanti Communications. And thus I request that you investigate this matter.
I remain yours sincerely
Tom Winnifrith

About Us
Our beloved founder, Irving Liss, started Hilton's Tent City as "Hilton's War Surplus" in Scollay Square in Boston in 1947. The City of Boston claimed Irv's original location by eminent domain in order to construct Government Center, and Irv relocated to our present home on Friend Street in the early 1960's. He bought tents by the truckload, and packed the building from basement to attic with anything outdoors related. Irv made a name for Hilton's Tent City as the best place to get a deal on gear- anywhere. Irv worked six days a week in Tent City, poring over invoices and ledgers, clenching his signature, snubbed-out cigar in his teeth, up until the ripe old age of 88.
Irv went to the Great Campground in the Sky in 2010, and Hilton's own Dave Kramer, who has worked at Tent City for over thirty years, stepped in to keep the business going. Dave is honoring Irv's time-honored tradition of selling great gear at a more than fair price, and providing unbeatable- and unheard of- service in the big, bad, box-store era. Hilton's buyer, Tony Staffier, has been keeping the store jam-packed with the best selection of no-nonsense gear and clothing for the outdoor enthusiast for over forty years, and has seen every trend under the sun- he knows what works, what's a gimmick, and what's just too good to pass up!
Hilton's Tent City has evolved from military surplus to general outdoors to specialty backpacking, to everyday outerwear for the wicked Boston climate and beyond. It has grown into the most eclectic mix of gear and equipment imaginable. We stock over a BAZILLION items in the store, we have 4 floors of retail, including our eponymous, world-famous, wall-to-wall tent display on the 4th floor of our building. We hire seasoned, outdoor enthusiasts who are the most knowledgeable staff anywhere in the outdoor industry. We use every product we sell, and can give a detailed demonstration of how to use it, as well as offer pros, cons, and alternatives. We're no fuss, no baloney, and always willing to help!

Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) delivered a pleasant surprise in 1Q2016 whereby revenue and EPS grew over the previous year and also exceeded the average projection of Wall Street analysts covering the stock. But investor focus is on the future not the past, which leads to the important question about whether the network security vendor can continue beating expectations in the coming quarters and possibly years.
If you listened to what Barracuda's CEO, B.J. Jenkins, address at the earnings conference call, the impression you get is that the management believes the best moments for the company are still ahead. For instance, Jenkins talked about the positive performance in 1Q being driven by strong execution strategy. He added that the strategy of the team he leads is to make Barracuda the leading provider of network security and data protection.
The major takeaway from Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE: CUDA)'s CEO was that 1Q only provided a glimmer into what is achievable in the company if management continues with strong execution on the various initiatives the team is working on. He promised that more robust growth in topline and bottom-line figures is within reach for Barracuda.
Because you should expect CEO Jenkins to know the company's position better than any outsider, his promise is something to take seriously. But it is not just promises being talked about here. The 1Q results go a long way to show that the efforts being made at Barracuda are bearing fruit.
Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE: CUDA)'s 1Q at a glance
Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE:CUDA) generated revenue of $86.7 million in 1Q, an increase of 11% over revenue generated in a similar quarter a year ago. The revenue figure also exceeded the consensus estimate by nearly $3 million. Perhaps something that should make Barracuda investors excited is that recurring revenue, which already accounts for more than 50% of total revenue, rose 20% to $65.3 million in the latest quarter. Coming to bottom-line, Barracuda posted adjusted EPS of $0.20, which compared to $0.09 a year ago. Analysts were looking for EPS of $0.09.
Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) also posted a 14% growth in active subscribers.
What about the future?
Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) is expecting 2Q revenue to be in the band of $84 to $86 million with EPS coming in the range of $0.12 to $0.13.

the act of May 11, 1881 (P. L. 20), had failed to attach to the policy copies of the by-laws or application, and should not have been permitted, against the plaintiff's objection, to give them in evidence. The act was passed in the interest of honesty and fair dealing, and its provisions should be strictly enforced. We have no doubt they apply to such companies as the defendant."
This language, of course, was used with reference to the particular instrument before the court, and must be so read. There is no warrant, we think, for the assumption that the court thereby meant to declare that the act of May 11, 1881, applies to accident insurance policies. In the present case the offer of the application was not to defeat a recovery, or to set aside any of the stipulations of the policy. The parties contracted with reference to 3, future change of occupation by the insured. Such change was not to avoid the policy. It was allowable upon agreed terms. The change of -occupation simply altered the amount of indemnity so as to accord with the increased hazard. This is the plain contract of the parties, evidenced by the policy itself. The provision for changes of occupation and hazard is reasonable and just, and, indeed, in the interest of the holders of accident insurance policies. We discover no good reason here for denying effect to the provision. The judgment is reversed, with costs to the plaintiff in error in this court; and the cause is remanded to the circuit court, with direction to enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $1,600, with interest from the 1st day of July, 1896, and costs in the court below.
WILSON v. OWENS. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit. March 21, 1898.) No. 990.
STATUTE OF FRAUDs-INDIAN TERRITORy-LEASE OF LANDS.
There was no statute of frauds in force in the Indian Territory untU the act of May 2, 1890, extended to the territory certain laws of Arkansas; and a verbal contract for a seven-years lease of land, made prior thereto, was vaIld, and not affected by the adoption of the Arkansas statute. The United States courts do not take judicial notice of the local laws of the various tribes in the Indian Territory, but such laws are on the footing of local usages and customs, and must be pleaded and proven, where they are at variance with the laws which have been extended over the territory for the guidance of the United States courts. Where a law of the Chickasaw Nation, relied upon, was not pleaded or urged in the trial court, it cannot be set up in the territorial court of appeals, or in the circuit court of appeals.
INDIAN TERRITORy-LAWS OF INDIAN TRIBES.
3. ApPEAL AND ERHOR-LAWS OF INDIAN TRIBES-PLEADING.
In Error to the United States Court of Appeals in the Indian Territory.
This case comes on a writ of error from the United States court of appeals in the Indian Territory. It is a suit in ejectment brought by J. B. Wilson, the plaintiff in error, against Sol B. Owens, the defendant In error, to recover possession of certain lands situated in the Indian Territory. Judgment was rendered against the plaintiff below at nisi prius, and the judgment was affirmed by the court of appeals In the Indian Territory. Wilson v. Owens, 38 S. W. 976. It Is conceded by counsel for the plaintiff in error that the following is a
correct statement of the character of the controversy: "The plaintiff, J. B. Wilson; a resident of the Chickasaw Nation, and a member of the Chickasaw tribe of Indians, entered into a verbal contract In the spring of 1888 with W. P. Kendall; the substance of the same being that Kendall was to put all the land In a certain valley in CUltivation, erect a wire fence on oak posts, thirty feet apart, around said land (it being the land In controversy), and build thereon a certain house, of the value of $200, dig a well, and fit the place as a farm, for all of which the said Kendall was to have and enjoy the use and occupation of the place for the period of seven years from the spring of 1888. Afterwards, in 1889, the defendant, Sol B. Owens, purchased from said Kendall his contract with the plaintiff, Wilson, and Impliedly obligated himself to fulfill. the terms and obligations of the Wilson-Kendall contract. In 1889 the plaintiff, Wilson, entered into a further verbal contract with the defendant, O"-ens, for a valuable consideration, by the terms of which the defendant, Owen!', was to have two years' occupancy of the place, in addition to the Wilson-Kendall contract. The plaintiff contends, and supports his contention with evidence, that the defendant has failed to place the Improvements on the place, as per terms of the WilsonKendall contract, within seven years, and that by reason thereof the defendant has forfeited his contract, and that the plaintiff is entitled to the possession of the same; that in 1895, just after the expiration of the seven-years occupancy of the place, plalntiff made a written demand upon defendant for possession of the place, which demand for possession was refused, whereupon the plaintiff below brought the present suit."
E. D. Davidson and Dorset Carter, for defendant in error.
J. W. Hocker and Zol J. Woods, for plaintiff in error.
Before SANBORN and THAYER. Circuit Judges, and PHILIPS, District Judge. THAYER, Circuit Judge, after stating the case as above, delivered the opinion of the court. Confining ourselves to the questions which are open for review on the present record, the first and most important inquiry is. whether the plaintiff below was entitled to invoke the protection of the statute of frauds. It is claimed in behalf of the plaintiff that the contracts of rental upon Which the defendant bases his right to possession were void, because they were verbal, and not to be perforlned within one year. We think that this was' properly overruled by the territorial court of appeals. In the case of McClellan v. Pyeatt, 32 U. S. App. 104, 14 C. C. 140, 66 Fed. 844, this court held that the statute of 13 Eliz. c. 5, concerning fraudulent conveyances, was not in force in tM Indian Territory until it was put in force by the act of 2,1890 (26 Stat. 81, c.181, § 31),which extended certain chapters 'of the Revised Statutes of Arkansas over the territory. The same must, be true of the statute· of frauds passed at a later date, during the reign of Charles II. (29 Car. II. c. 3). The latter statute did not go into effect inthe Indian Territory until it was put in force by the act of congress aforesaid, and until that tirne there was no statute of frauds, applicable to the territory, of which the courts of the United States can take judicial notice. In the case of Pyeatt v. Powell, II} U. S. App. 2(jO, 2 C. C. A. 367, 51 FelJ,. 551, this ,Court decided that while the common law could not be presumed to exist in the Indian Territory'; on·March 1, 1889, when congress created a United States court for the territory, and gave it jurisdiction of a certain Class of controversies(25 Stat. 783, c. 333), yet tbat, such court having been created by an act of congress, it would be inferred that in-
tended that said court should apply the rules and principles of the common law to the adjudication of such cases as came before it, espe· cially when there was no proof of any local law, custom, or usage, in the light of which the rights of the parties ought to be adjudicated. This conclusion was based upon the ground that in the federal courts the common law furnishes the rule of decision, in the absence of any statute repealing or modifying it. The phrase "common law," as used in the case of Pyeatt v. Powell, 10 U. S. App. 200, 2 C. C. A. 367, 51 Fed. 551, was intended to signify those rules and principles of the common law not embodied in the provisions of any statute, which are termed the ''lex non scripta." Whart. Law Diet. 161; 1 Bl. Comm. 35. H is manifest from our subsequent decision in McClellan v. Pyeatt, 32 U. S. App. 104, 14 C. C. A. 140, 66 Fed. 844, holding that the statute of fraudulent conveyances did not become operative in the Indian Territory until May 2, 1890, that the phrase "common law," as employed in Pyeatt v. Powell, was not used in a sense which would embrace the statute of frauds, and make that statute operative in the Indian Terri· tory, as a part of the law of the forum. The result is that, inasmuch as the oral leases in question were made prior to the extension of the statute of frauds over the Indian Territory, they were valid when made, and were not affected by the subsequent adoption of the statute in that territory. Another contention of counsel for the plaintiff in error is that a law of the Chickasaw Nation declares such leases as those involved in the present case to be absolutely null and void, and that in accord· ance with such law the leases should have been pronounced void. This contention was overruled by the court of appeals in the Indian Territory for the reason that the point was not made or urged in the trial court. An inspection of the record discloses the fact that the local statute in question was not pleaded by the plaintiff, nor offered in evidence, to avoid the effect of the leases. Neither was the trial court asked to take judicial notice of tIle same, by an instruction directing a verdict for the plaintiff because of the existence of the local statute. It is urged in this court, however, that the trial court, and the court of appeals as well, should have taken judicial notice of the local law, of their own motion, and should have directed a verdict for the plaintiff, although the plaintiff did not insist upon such action. We cannot assent to this view. We are of opinion that the territorial court of appeals took a correct view of this question. There are a number of tribes domiciled in the Indian Territory, which have different laws, customs, and usages. This court does not have can· venient access to books, local decisions, or official documents which would enable it to determine with certainty what are the laws of these tribes on various subjects; and we apprehend that the United States courts sitting in the Indian Territory are confronted, in a measure, at least, with the same difficulty. Any attempt, therefore, to take judicial notice of the local laws of the various tribes in that territory would be attended with doubt and difficulty, and would lead to errc,r. We think that it is wiser to place such laws on the footing of local usages and customs, and to require them to be pleaded and proven by litigants who rely upon them for protection, if they are at variance
with the code of municipal law which has been extended over the Indian Territory for the guidance of the United States courts sitting therein. We are of opinion that this view, if acted upon, will, in the great majority of cases, lead to a more correct and just administration oOf the law. The territorial court of appeals, when it reached the merits of the controversy, decided, in substance, that even though Owens, the lessee, had not fully complied with all the provisions of his contract relative to making improvements upon the demised premises, yet, as the landlord or lessor had not reserved the right to forfeit the lease for a failure to make each and all of the improvements specified, such right of forfeiture or rescission could not be exercised when there had been such a part performance by the lessee of the covenants of the lease as was shown by the evidence in the case at bar. It accord· ingly held that, for the breach of the contract complained of, the plain· tiff was not entitled to declare the lease forfeited, and sue in eject· ment for the recovery of the demised premises, but that his sole rem· edy for the alleged breach was by an action at law for damages. It further decided, on this ground, that the trial court might very properly have directed a verdict for the defendant, without submitting any Inasmuch as this view of the issue to the jury. 38 S. W. 976, law is not challenged in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error, n.or by the assignment of errors, it is not necessary to consider the .case at greater length, or to notice some other points which have been discussed. We have no doubt, as the territorial court of appeals held, that there had been such a part performance of the stiplllations of the lease by the lessee as rendered it, impossible for the plaintiff below to -declare a forfeiture, and maintain a suit in ejectment. The judgment -of the United States court of appeals in the and the judgment of the United States court for the Southern district of the Indian Territory, are therefore affirmed.

Stories from businesses that use MATRIX daily
What impresses us about MATRIX LMS is that they are always improving. Not only are they anticipating market movement and adding features that keep it fresh, they are responsive to our specific needs in a way that makes us feel like one of their most valued clients.
Vintech Management Services
Our company has been using MATRIX LMS for almost a year now and we are very pleased with this system. We were in a position where we had to find a new LMS quickly. We researched over twenty different systems and finally chose MATRIX LMS because we found it very easy to work with, user friendly and simple to navigate. When we tried other systems, sometimes it would take hours to just post something, which was very frustrating.
The support system is very helpful and they truly listen to their customers. When an administrator asks for a feature, they are quick to help you as to how to use it or add that feature to their system. The MATRIX LMS team is very supportive and constantly improving their system.
If someone is looking for a very affordable learning management system that is easy to use and has many features, we recommend MATRIX LMS.
NeuroLeadership Institute
We have been working on MATRIX for the past 4 years and find it a vast improvement on our earlier system, Backpack. I recommend it to others as being a great platform for these types of programs.
We like that we have a professional looking platform for learners to access where they can manage their learning. It helps learners become self-sufficient and feel in control of their learning with administrator and faculty support in the background.
Learning Specialists
We have been using MATRIX for over 3 years and not only is the software awesome but the service provided by the MATRIX team is exemplary. We have a learning solution that visually is a pleasure, but also affordable and 100% scalable allowing it to grow alongside our business.
We feel that MATRIX is our solution, our software - part of this is because the MATRIX team are so open to suggestions demonstrating their clear drive to further evolve what is already a superior LMS, and as i use the product i often think 'wow - this functionality is there because I suggested it'. In our opinion there is only one LMS to use - and that is MATRIX.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service
Our company is very happy with MATRIX LMS as an eLearning platform. We have many learners and staff that rely on its user friendly interface and great audio/visual options. As an administrator, MATRIX LMS is easy to manage and has lots of features that make online training simple, but besides that the thing we love most of MATRIX LMS is the amazing customer support. We highly recommend it!
We have been using MATRIX LMS for a time now and we couldn't be more pleased with it. We find it to be very user friendly and time efficient.We can easily reach out to learners and see their progress in courses. Our learners love the user interface and the fact that they can have access to materials anytime anywhere. We truly believe that MATRIX LMS is a great LMS!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My 4 month old fell out of his swing and after taking him to the ER doctor and dealing with dcf I now have court summons for a "dependency arraignment" I just feel like they are jumping down my throat trying to find a excuse to take my kids because Im a young mom of 21 with a 2 year old and a 4 month old who has a full schedule with work. My kids are happy and dont lack for anything, I just dont know what to do!!
You will need an experienced attorney by your side for this case. Dependency cases are very different from anything you may have experienced previously, if at all.
Generally, the shelter hearing is an opportunity for the Judge to review the submitted hearsay evidence and review if it rises to the level necessary that shelter is necessary to protect the child(ren)'s health safety and welfare. It is a long process to vindicate yourself once the case has started. Again, do not handle this yourself. You need an attorney by your side.

When recovering files that were deleted or on a drive that was reformatted, you can use Data Rescue 3 to recover the files based on file pattern. Data rescue 3 inherently supports many different file types.
If you are looking to recover lost files from a drive and you do not see that file type in our list of support file types, then FileIQ can be a helpful tool to aid you in the recovery attempt. As mentioned, we support pretty much all the file types a typical user would encounter, but in very obscure cases, or for propriety or classified file types, FileIQ is revolutionary- In order to use FileIQ you will typically need at least 5 good sample files of the specific file type you would like to recover. You can refer to our How-To Guide for using FileIQ.
Once you are able to learn and add the new file type using FileIQ, you can run a Deleted File Scan or Deep Scan with Data Rescue 3. When the scans finish you can find the files you are looking for in the scan results under Reconstructed Files->User Defined. FileIQ comes in handy when attempting to recover special file types that Data Rescue 3 doesn't support by default.

Have you heard all the chatter about Harper Lee's new book Go Set A Watchman? The sequel follows her well-known novel To Kill a Mockingbird that won a Pulitzer prize and was adopted as a classic of modern American literature. Over 5 decades later Lee takes us back to loved characters including Atticus Finch, his daughter Scout and his son Jem. Pick this novel up yourself and see what you think. I think I may go back and read them both one after another since I haven't read them since I was in school.

"Sense make a real difference"
About: Ashley Court Ashley Court S60 1RU www.sense.org.uk/content/ashley-court-resource-centre
Posted by Frankly1972 (as ),
I previously posted here about the arduous but ultimately worthwhile process of transition https://www.patientopinion.org.uk/opinions/112362.
I wanted to give an update about Sense at Ashley Court, Rotherham which my severe learning difficulties stepdaughter attends every week day. Simply put the staff there are so thorough, professional and caring that it gives my wife and me huge confidence and comfort that she is definitely in the right place.
When we expressed concerns about her weight due to the medication she takes, the first thing they did was offer to put her on a low fat diet.
Today they called me to explain that her behaviour had been a bit challenging this afternoon. They had managed to calm her down and were confident that she was going home in a good mood. However their first thought was for us as carers to make sure we were aware of what had happened and they didn't want us to have any problems with her this evening.
They are also keeping a log of her behaviour to see if there are any patterns or situations that are causing her to play up. That way they hope to address the issues and make changes to how she spends her time if necessary. It's great to see people being so conscientious and thoughtful about the care they provide.
A huge well done to Anne and her great team.

We have a domain in our company. We have an exchange server running.
I have administrative priviliges as a user, which means, I login on every computer with all right there are.
Because the settings here in SpiceWorks are pretty limited, I dont know, what I have to do, to reach onther computers from mine. All I see by using the network scan is my own workstation, and thats it.
I knowm this all is not very specific, but neither are the options in SpiceWorks. So maybe, someone knows a hint or something, to get to the core of my problem.
This topic was created during version 3.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Sep 15, 2008 at 8:02 UTC
Are you saying that spiceworks can not find anything or you can not browse the network for computers?
Sep 15, 2008 at 8:35 UTC
So all spiceworks finds is your workstaion:
Is this the workstation you have installed spiceworks on?
What settings have you put into the network scan settings page, this requires telling what ip range to scan and what username and password to use.
As it doesn't seem to be picking much up it sounds like one other or both of these haven't been completed correctly.
Configured correctly the options in Spiceworks are all that is needed to scan your network.
Hope this helps.
Sep 16, 2008 at 1:32 UTC
Hey Matt and Timmy, thanks for your reply :)
For a first try, I take a small IP Range of our domain. Our workstations have a range from 10.10.100.1 to 10.10.100.255. But because there are a few servers over the whole range, I use a small part, where we have normal workstations only.
In my case its 10.10.100.160-170
And thats, what I used. As login I used mine at first, because I have admistrative priviliges, but I also tried the login and password of the domain admin.
I somehow have the feeling, theres not much, that happens, because it just takes about 1 minute, and then thats it.
And now, where I deleted my own workstation before the scan, I see, that the network scan didnt find my own workstation either, it didnt find anything.
It just found a device "Other" with an IP that doesnt even belong to the IP range, I used.
Sep 16, 2008 at 2:44 UTC
If its finding machines outside of the range you used something isn't set correctly I'd suggest.
Can you post a screenshot of your scan settings page?
Sep 16, 2008 at 3:30 UTC
Sure thing. Here it is.
Sep 16, 2008 at 9:41 UTC
Thanks, I'm assuming this is a windows domain?
If so, on my scan settings here I've got the username for scans in in the format:
I'm guessing that the username you login using if you want to be domain admin isn't really "domain admin" its probably going to be more like BERNHARDSDOMAIN\Administrator.
Sep 18, 2008 at 3:25 UTC
Have you had any luck with this?
Sep 18, 2008 at 5:59 UTC
What you see there, is not the real user. Its the name, the "description" of the user. The user itself got the the actual name of the domainadministrator, and his current password.
Sep 18, 2008 at 9:19 UTC
Ahh fair enough,
Assuming that the credentials are right I would set a scan to do one machine you know the IP of and see what happens.
Sep 23, 2008 at 3:29 UTC
Any joy?
Sep 30, 2008 at 5:17 UTC
Sorry for the delay.
Well our main administrator decided, not to use SpiceWorks, maybe because it didnt work from the start on, or maybe for other reasons. But I guess the problem, I had, is not current anymore. :-/

York has just played host to its second short film festival. Founder Cherie Federico shares her thoughts on this year's event.
When I think about ASFF 2012, I genuinely can't stop smiling. It was a fantastic year with a host of delegates attending from across the world. York was simply buzzing.
We opened on Thursday night at City Screen York – Dan Jarvis, Shadow Minister for Culture and Arts, attended, as well as representatives from Channel 4, Warp Films and other leading organisations.
The night was completed with a preview screening of the festival, a programme that spans all genres including drama, documentary, comedy, thriller, art, experimental, music video and animation. Across the weekend, we screened over 200 films in 15 venues, with a total of 180 screenings making up a whopping 469 hours' worth of content.
The idea for ASFF was born when we launched a short film competition with the aim of producing a DVD to be distributed with our Christmas issue 2010.
We received just under 1,000 films that first year, but could only include 13 on the DVD. This was tragic because there were so many great films I had to reject. I hated every minute of that process. In June 2011, I was invited to BAFTA, as part of Rushes Soho Shorts, to a panel discussion on how filmmakers can work with brands. After the event there was a queue of people waiting to speak with me, and most of the people were filmmakers I had rejected. On the train ride back to York, I decided that I would start a festival.
It was a match made in heaven. York is such a beautiful city and we'd never had a film festival here before; I thought I would do it and see what happened.
Fast forward two years, and we've just closed ASFF 2012. The city came alive, there were delegates everywhere, and, inside each venue, filmmakers and audiences were engaging, conversations were happening and new collaborations and plans were being formed. As I walked around the city and saw this, I couldn't help but feel excited because, for me, this is really what it's all about.
As the Editor of Aesthetica Magazine, I believe in promoting high quality art and culture, and to have the opportunity to do this in the city in which I live, in such a direct way, is a dream come true. Not only did we have thousands attending, but the masterclasses alone attracted 1050 people who were here, in York, to engage with industry professionals such as Barry Ryan, Head of Production at Warp Films, Danny Cohen, cinematographer on The King's Speech in association with BAFTA, as well as Channel 4, The Hepworth Wakefield, Raindance and others. We live in a county that has great film festivals – Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford – and I hope ASFF only adds to the region's rich film culture.
Next year's festival dates
The Aesthetica team which ran the festival received support for the festival from organisations including the Yorkshire Post, York St John University, Northen Rail, Creative England, BFI and Arts Council England. Next year's event is already in the planning by me and my team and will run November 7-10, 2013. Details: www.asff.co.uk

The Amateurs Paperback
by John Niven
Gary Irvine is pretty happy in Ardgirvan, a small town on Scotland's west coast.
Only two things would improve his life - children and a lower golf handicap.
Both are unlikely. The former because Gary's wife Pauline is intent on leaving him as soon as she's snared Findlay Masterson, the self-made carpet millionaire she's set her sights on. And the latter because, frankly, Gary is an appalling golfer.
Far away from the world of golf handicaps, down in the murky depths of Ardgirvan's criminal underclass, Gary's hapless brother Lee is stumbling from one botched drug deal to another, his orbit drawing terrifyingly close to local crime overlord Ranta Campbell.
Then Gary gets smashed on the head by a golf ball and knocked into a coma.
He wakes to find that the neurological trauma he's suffered has resulted in some pretty radical side effects - among them an absolutely perfect golf swing.
He wins his local club championship. He breaks the course record. He qualifies for the Open ...Meanwhile Pauline and Masterson have hit upon a plan to help him avoid a ruinously expensive divorce.
It's the kind of plan that ends with a funeral. Their stories converge as the two brothers stumble into uncharted territory - Lee towards murder and Gary teeing it up with his golfing hero, Calvin Linklater, the world number one, in the Open Championship ..."The Amateurs" is a hilarious examination of family and sport, of the ties that bind and how trying to put a little white ball in a hole can literally drive some men insane.

This is for relationships, online or in person. Friends or acquaintances. Etc is it possible to fall in love with someone just through their words? Do you ever go down one path wondering if you had chose the other direction would things be better?
Most Helpful Guy
I think everyone in the world feels this way at some point, especially as we get older. Everyone, especially when it comes to relationships, makes mistakes now and then. If the relationship lasts a long time or not, or is still on going, there are times you wish you could go back and fix something, or even go back and enjoy something again.
For example, I would love to go back to the time before I had kids. NOT that I don't love my kids with all my heart, but that time with my wife was too short. I would love to have had more time being a couple again. We did a lot of things that we don't do anymore, becuse having a family take a lot of time, effort and money. I think that is why I look forward to when my kids are older and we go back to being a couple at home again.
I also wish I hadn't married my first wife. The signs were there, but I ignored them. I hurt her daughter a lot (not mine) when I left. I wish I hadn't done that, but I had no choice in the matter.
So all you can do is learn from those times and grow.00|00|0
You said the signs were there, what's that mean. I might be in that same time frame
- Show AllShow Less
Ohhh ok
Looking back on it, I was in love with being in love for the first time. She was in love with the idea of having a babysitter for her child while she went to law school. I was 18 and immature, she was older (29) and jaded when it came to love.
Most Helpful Girl
I think everyone goes through the "what ifs" of life. Honestly though, I fully believe everything happens for a reason. Friendships fall apart when they don't serve you, maybe things don't work out with a guy bc you're not who he's meant to be with in the long run and vice versa. We all have certain purposes and journeys in this life that the universe works to make happen for us.00|00|0

I really liked Auckland. I have to admit when I first came to New Zealand I wasn't initially that keen on Auckland. It was my first stop and I just spent a few days there and then went off and travelled around the North and South Island.
But I went back and lived and worked there for around three months and I grew to love it. There are some really nice suburbs, lovely parks, beaches, the weather is good and it is probably the best place for jobs. Also if you want to travel to places like the Bay of Islands for a weekend then it is easy to jump on a bus and do so.

School Bus Maintenance Director to Retire After 44 Years
Ricky Courtwright, the director of vehicle maintenance at Marion County (Ky.) Public Schools, will retire in December.
School bus flooring and steps take a beating every day, so they need to be rugged and easy to clean while providing secure footing for passengers and drivers.
Flooring is easy to forget about, and, indeed, drivers shouldn't need to be thinking about whether their floor is secure during runs. But this key bus feature shouldn't be overlooked during the specification process. The flooring and step tread system that school bus operations select can go a long way in preventing injuries.
Safety in the stairwell
Slips and falls on the stairwell can be embarrassing — and hazardous — for students as well as the driver. To minimize the chances of such a mishap, flooring manufacturers offer an array of step tread enhancements.
RCA Rubber's Apex step tread has a cone-shaped, nubbed texture, providing better traction for all types of footwear. The Talon Tread comes with a 2.5- or 3.5-inch abrasive strip along the nose for safer boarding and dismounting. All of the treads feature high-contrast white or yellow nosing, and all except the Apex come fully ribbed to decrease sliding.
Koroseal designed its Pebble Tread and Ribbed Tread with the same philosophy in mind. Step nosings are bonded to the tread with a lightweight, non-metallic, non-corrosive backing to improve passenger safety.
Staying afoot in the aisle
Safety concerns don't end once the passengers board the bus. The aisle must also be able to handle the traffic.
Koroseal's Granite Textured matting has a rough, nubbed surface that enhances traction. The Eagle Flec Stardust design uses randomly spaced metallic flakes for the same purpose.
RCA Rubber uses a double-groove rib design on its floors. In addition to increasing traction, the double grooves make it easier for water to drain, preventing puddles from forming in the aisles.
Meanwhile, Altro Transflor follows a completely different strategy. Instead of altering the texture of the surface, it blends a colored quartz aggregate into the material. The silicon carbide and aluminum oxide molecules provide additional grip to the passengers' shoes.
Although Altro focuses on safety flooring for public transit systems, many of its products are available for the school bus market as well. Altro spokesperson Dan Lee says his company is developing a new product specifically for school buses.
Staying power is important
Heavy foot traffic poses the biggest threat to a floor's durability. The standard rib designs offered by RCA Rubber and Koroseal provide protection against the daily grind. Altro's products come in three thicknesses — 1.8, 2.2 and 2.7 mm — to deal with light, moderate or heavy traffic.
For the more skeptically minded, warranties can offer plenty of flex time to test the products. Lee says Altro Transflor's warranties can go as long as 15 years.
RCA Rubber's Don Bullock says its 1/8-inch smooth and 3/16-inch ribbed floors have 12-year warranties, although they frequently last the lifetime of the vehicle.
RCA Rubber prides itself on the uniform composition of its materials. Unlike some floors, which have a thin surface covering that can easily chip or rub off, RCA Rubber floors are homogenous throughout their entire thickness. According to Bullock, this keeps the floor looking attractive even after years of wear and tear.
With regard to the material itself, Bullock still believes rubber has the upper hand over vinyl, especially in terms of dimensional stability. "Vinyl has a tendency to expand and contract with temperature variances, creating an issue with seam integrity," he says.
Instead of choosing a side in the debate, Jack Woodyard of Koroseal says his company found the best of both worlds. Its products, referred to as elastomers, are made from proprietary compounds that combine features of vinyl and rubber, according to Woodyard.
Now, the dirty work
After a floor has passed all the tests for slip resistance and durability, one critical factor remains: clean-up. Staff must be prepared to deal with everything from spilled soda stains to blue ballpoint pen marks. A low-maintenance floor saves time, money and elbow grease.
Altro products come with a built-in bacteriostat to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms. "You can't always get everything off the floor, so it creates kind of a hygienic surface," says Lee. And because the bacteriostat is evenly distributed throughout the entire product, it never wears off. As Lee describes it, "It's part of the compound."
Koroseal recommends Crystal Simple Green, the clear industrial version of Simple Green, to clean its products. "Everybody sells Simple Green," says Woodyard. "It's one of the original green cleaners." It can be used full strength or diluted, depending on the intensity of the stain.
Basic maintenance for RCA Rubber products requires only non-ionic detergent, bleach and a mop. On its Website, RCA has a list of suggestions for trickier stains. Formula 409 All Purpose Cleaner or De-Solv-It will take care of most of them, although rare occasions may call for hair spray or white toothpaste.
Ricky Courtwright, the director of vehicle maintenance at Marion County (Ky.) Public Schools, will retire in December.
The TomTom Bridge with GPSi software is designed to help streamline routing, scheduling vehicle maintenance, and other tasks.
BoltHold special-purpose anchors are designed to be an economical and reliable way to attach structures directly to asphalt at a fraction of the cost of concrete replacement.
Cummins' Connected Diagnostics is now available to customers using Zonar's V3 telematics control unit. It is designed to prioritize engine fault information and offer actionable recommendations.
With the Diamond Lift, the Continuous Recess unit allows the bolster to recess flush to the floor anywhere in the horizontal range of piston travel.
The brake supplier's new guide provides part numbers and spec information for the complete Raybestos commercial vehicle line.
BusWise Technologies for Thomas Built Buses' Saf-T-Liner C2 school bus offers features that can help in boosting efficiency, such as tracking location, speed, and fuel consumption.
The school bus dealer, which has facilities in California and Nevada, will serve as a distributor, service provider, and installer of Fogmaker North America's systems.
SmartDrive video gives bus drivers and managers insight and analysis designed to help save fuel, reduce maintenance expenses, and improve driver behavior.
David Welborn learned maintenance skills growing up on a farm. He drove a school bus in high school and then went to work in the shop at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools in North Carolina.
The manufacturer is awarded ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 certification on 12 styles of column lifts.

Summer Evening Theme Cake, Help!!
Decorating By sweetjessica Updated 12 Jul 2010 , 8:30pm by sweetjessica
I got a request for a summer evening cake, I am totally clueless on ideas.
It is a 10" round cake, and she wants it like a sunset, so i am going to airbrush orange and yellow.
She would also like lighting bugs on it.
Any other ideas on how to make this cake "cute" I am lost!!!!!!
Could you fade it all the way up to stars?
If the sunset was at the very bottom then faded to a pale purple-ish blue for the lightening bugs and got darker. You could do the top with white stars on a dark blue background.
What about a moon?
I looove BeanCountingBaker's idea. Sounds pretty.
I picture it more with the sunset on top -- with streaky oranges and pinks in the sky -- and then a dark silhouette of trees or houses going across the bottom. Spots of glowy yellow for the lightning bugs against the trees.
Thank you for your ideas, i dont know why i am having such a hard time with this cake, maybe it is because the customer is a little difficult!!!!!
When i get this crazy cake done i will for sure post a picture!
Thanks again for your reply's!
tiki torches on a path leading out to the sunset ... or leading away fr sunset.
Maybe a lake theme, with a canoe and a campfire on the beach on one side with the sunset on the other?
Maybe half a cookie frosted as the setting sun - sinking into the cake. If you add water, you can do some reflection of the light in it.
Ok, So after talking with her she likes this cake that i found here on CC.......
I also love it, but she doesnt want the cowboy theme. She wants a summer theme. She also likes the Fire fly idea and wants me to put a jar on top with fondant firefly's in it and around the cake.
I was thinking that a silhouette i could put on it would be this picture, or something similar........
with a little "firefly in her hands?????
Whats your thoughts, does it need more, would trees be cute on it, i need someone to bounce some ideas off of, i am having a hard time with this one!!!!
