I always had a soft spot for the mandos... Thanks for adding to the existing units, even if they are from another franchise because of your good choice, costum turrets & i hope completely new textures? :3
Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
I always had a soft spot for the mandos... Thanks for adding to the existing units, even if they are from another franchise because of your good choice, costum turrets & i hope completely new textures? :3
Of course custom textures, they need to be Mando style.
They will come in due time, our goal is to finish all ship models by December. We are well on our way to meeting this goal.
Considering you guys bring a new ship more often than every second day, statistically speaking you are going to add about 100+ new ships by December, correct?
Cool starship btw...
That is so freaking cool looking. Gotta love the Mandos
If you're pulling models from eve, i would like to see a providence ship as a republic unit. I think it would be a great fit.
I doubt it, the rebellion used them but most of the ships from GCW were mostly discarded. the only other CIS ship i can see being in this mod is the Bulwark mark 3 for the Republic or the Lucrehulk for the corporate sector.
Yes, but they're adding non-canon ships from EVE, and the providence fits along with the designs the rebels used. A modern take on the gallofree or torpedo frigates they used.
It was already planned to include it ;)
How will faction's work? Will it be both the New Republic and Remnant in one faction then mandalorians and then vong?
The three main factions will be the New Republic-turned-Galactic Alliance (yes, this is mainly but not exclusively a combination of NR and Remnant units), the Hutts and the Vong.
Will the Mandalorians be playable or only pirates?
Ummm... I Think they're a playable sub-faction, but having said that, I'm not sure who they're allied with, and Strobe will be able to give you a much better answer - after all, I am only the sound dude ;)
That 'Sounds' awesome :D
wow i've been out for nine days and this is like christmass!!! loving the mandalorian designs guys specially the tank great work guys keep it up!!
Ww will see corvette sized units like the wrath in ground battles?
How would this work?
There is a mod out there that allows you to use frigates like acclamators in land battles, but to be honest the feature is pretty broken.

The Mando's equivalent to the DP20.
The Wrath is an new Mandalorian unit, developed in secret during the years after the battle of Endor. While Mandalorian ship design still prefers low-grade technology and heavy armored units, the Wrath displayed a slight shift to a new design philosophy. High powered weapons and black market technology started to make an appearance in Mando ship design as their culture became more attuned to the roles of saboteurs, agents of espionage and assassination.
The Wrath features 2 forward mounted ion cannons in the nose and 2 fixed mass drivers in the wings. Along side the mass drivers are located high powered sensors giving the ship advanced line-of-site. The Wrath is slow moving heavily armored, but 2 thrust engines in the wings give the ship a special power to engines ability. The Wrath is also stealth capable, allowing it work alongside Vengeance frigates for ambush missions.
Additional armament includes 2 twin barreled fast tracking rapid blaster turrets on the belly and a dual medium turbolaser turret on the top. The wings also house concussion missile launchers.
Stealth and deadly, the Mando's wouldn't have it any other way.

Sochi Olympics End with Humor
As we detailed on the blog previously, the Sochi Olympic Games seemed to have been fraught with logistical problems from the start, including questionable accommodations and discolored tap water, earning the Twitter hashtags, #sochiproblems or #sochifails. These mishaps, along with other controversies, did not generate the most positive PR for this year's Olympic organizers.
However, if you watched the Closing Ceremony last night, you saw that it included a joke that allowed the event to poke fun at one of its mistakes with a little self-depreciating humor.
In the Opening Ceremony two weeks ago there was a malfunction in which one of the five rings did did not open in the large light display of the Olympic Games symbol – an example of #sochifails in massive glowing lights. The mistake seemed to add to the sense that not all was up to par at this year's Olympics.
Last night's Closing Ceremony included an ironic twist in which during the opening dance routine, several hundred dancers formed the Olympic rings, with the top right ring remaining unopened for a moment in humorous reference to the previous malfunction. The crowd cheered as the ring of dancers actually did open and tweets and gifs of the display went viral with many commenting "Good One, Russia".

I know that many of The Frugal Baby's readers are stay-at-home moms so I thought I would talk about something that is a struggle for many of us–time management. When you have a baby, your schedule is largely dictated by his schedule. It is hard to fit in the time to do everything that needs to be done–and sometimes, you just have to let some things go. That being said, I have found that I have to use a schedule to maintain any semblence of organization. I want to share my own schedule with you but before I do, let me mention a couple of things:
- First, it is vital to the well-being of your entire family that you get enough rest. Particularly if your baby is not yet sleeping through the night, you may need to take a nap when she does. Please, do not feel guilty about this! A well-rested mom is more efficient, more patient, and better able to deal with daily challenges as they arise.
- Keep in my that a schedule is a guide, it is not written in stone. Use the schedule when you can but be flexible when you can't.
- Finally, I need to mention that I use the FlyLady's system of house-cleaning routines. If you are not familiar with FlyLady, you can read all about her and her system at her website. I have adapted the system to work for me and my family but the basic principles are hers.
Okay, onto my schedule.
- 6:30 a.m. — Get up, complete FlyLady's morning routine, shower, and get dressed.
- 7:00 a.m. — Begin breakfast preparation and pack lunches if it is a preschool day.
- 7:30 a.m. — Maya usually wakes up around this time. I get her up, changed, and begin feeding her breakfast.
- 8:00 a.m. — James usually wakes up around this time. I give him his breakfast and begin cleaning up Maya and her breakfast mess.
- 8:30 a.m. — Clean up kitchen and get James and Maya dressed. Take James to preschool if it's a school day.
- 9:00 a.m. — Play time. If the weather is nice we'll go outside. Otherwise we play indoors.
- 10:00 a.m. — Structured activity. I get the kids involved with something like coloring or puzzles while I do some household chores. Typically, I run a load of laundry and tackle the day's cleaning zone (FlyLady).
- 11:00 a.m. — Free play for the kids. This can vary wildly depending upon the age and number of your children. It is during this time that I take a quick break and check my email or read for a few minutes or just sit and watch the kids play.
- 12:00 noon — Lunch
- 13:30 p.m. — Clean up from lunch and naptime! During naptime, I work on my blog or my other writing projects.
- 2:30 p.m. — Snack time and pick up James from preschool if it's a school day.
- 3:00 p.m. — Play with the kids or go outside.
- 4:00 p.m. — Catch up on any chores I may have missed throughout the day.
- 5:00 p.m. — Begin dinner preparations.
- 6:00 p.m. — Dinner
- 7:00 p.m. — Clean up after dinner while Michael gives the kids a bath.
- 8:00 p.m. — Stories, snuggles, and bedtime.
- 8:30 p.m. — Bible reading with Michael.
- 9:00 p.m. –Downtime with Michael (watch t.v., read, or whatever).
- 10:30 p.m. — Lights out 🙂
Again, this is just a guide. It can vary from day to day or week to week. But with this schedule, I at least know what my goals are for the day. Since using this schedule, I have become more organized and efficient. Of course, there are still plenty of days when the house is a wreck and nothing has been accomplished. When that happens, I just get right back on my schedule the next day. I hope this helps. And if anyone has additional tips for scheduling your day, I'd love to hear them!

Every cat—from kitten to elder—won't be able to resist these lifelike critters that mimic the movements of the critters cats love to chase!
These beautifully designed wand cat toys can accommodate a variety of interchangeable toys (sold separately) that attach with a metal clasp. The clasp attachment allows the string to rotate on the wand, which keeps the string from getting tangled, and makes playing much more enjoyable. The kragonfly (dragonfly) features crinkly, iridescent wings that are irresistible when they take flight. The kittenator (mouse) features realistic fur and is hinged in the middle so the backside moves realistically.

Credit is Suspicion Asleep
Originally published by Institutional Advisors on October 4, 2006.
This old saying sums it up. One day there seems to be endless liquidity and the next day - none. Of course, the transition involves more than one day and it is usually accomplished as, one by one, various traders discover a sudden loss of liquidity whereby the bids for the hot games disappear, as does the credit needed to carry a losing position.
The key to the transition has been simple - prices stop going up. More elaborate explanations have been provided by von Mises, who roughly observed that for a boom to peak the commercial banks don't need to call the loans, they just have to become a little concerned and stop making them.
The "Dearth Of Credit" by von Mises is attached.
Of course, the sudden loss of liquidity that marks the end of a boom and its effect on the credit markets has been on the financial scene for a very long time. For example, during just such a crisis in 1560 Sir Thomas Gresham wrote that credit conditions in the world's financial centre (Antwerp) were so tight that credit was not available, "even on double collateral".
The term for readily available credit - "easy" - is Dutch and so is its opposite, "diseased" credit conditions.
The transition to a dearth of credit seems eligible now. For this, the yield curve should have inverted and be working its way to steepening (√) and credit spreads, after being remarkably narrow, should be turning to widening (not quite). Preceding this, actual or momentum highs should have been set by the main items in the speculative play.
Of these, housing merits a (√), as do base metal and energy commodities. The general stock market, including the Nasdaq, set a momentum peak in the Spring.
Although credit conditions may seem benign, there is no reason to extrapolate complacency into the future.
The following charts can provide critical perspective - particularly with the observation made by the WSJ on August 17 that some of the borrowing was used "to repurchase more shares and to make higher quarterly and special-dividend payouts".
Then on September 23, The Economist wrote "Egging borrowers on are bankers, who sometimes admit to lending amounts, as a multiple of underlying cash flows, that are against their better judgement. This, they say, is partly because the competition to provide credit is so fierce."
The noteworthy feature is that this measure of borrowing peaked in the Spring at a spike high close to the peak high in 1999.
The next chart shows just how extraordinary stock buy-back programs have been.
These charts provide an interesting overview on a borrowing mania. The record is indelible, as in getting to this condition cannot be erased by wishful thinking. In past examples, the condition has been unsustainable and, once again, the fallout will be significant.
The Economist article included "More febrile [feverish] still has been the popularity of new fangled derivatives, with difficult names."
This reminds of exasperation recorded by an injured player as the South Sea Bubble collapsed in the Fall of 1720.
"The poor English nation run a madding after new inventions, whims, and projects [promotions] ... They can ruin men silently, undermine and impoverish, fiddle them out of their money by strange, unheard of engines of interest, discount, transfers, debentures, shares, projects, and the Devil and all of figures and hard names."
The key series to watch now is the treasury curve for steepening and gold's price relative to commodities turning up.
The full understanding of credit and its cycles has been provided by the Austrian School of Economics. Its leading exponent has been Ludwig von Mises and some of his comments bear witness to today's one-way excesses. It is imperative to have an understanding of credit that works in both financial and tangible asset booms.
"An increase in the quantity of money or fiduciary media is an indispensable condition of the emergence of a boom. The recurrence of boom periods, followed by periods of depression, is the unavoidable outcome of repeated attempts to lower the gross market rate of interest by means of credit expansion. There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
The breakdown appears as soon as the banks become frightened by the accelerated pace of the boom and begin to abstain from further credit expansion. The change in the banks' conduct does not create the crisis. It merely makes visible the havoc spread by the faults which business has committed in the boom period.
The dearth of credit which marks the crisis is caused not by contraction but by the abstention from further credit expansion. It hurts all enterprises - not only those which are doomed at any rate, but no less those whose business is sound and could flourish if appropriate credit were available. As the outstanding debts are not paid back, the banks lack the means to grant credits even to the most solid firms. The crisis becomes general and forces all branches of business and all firms to restrict their activities. But there is no means of avoiding these consequences of the preceding boom.
Prices of the factors of production - both material and human - have reached an excessive height in the boom period. They must come down before business can become profitable again. The recovery and return to "normalcy" can only begin when prices and wage rates are so low that a sufficient number of people assume that they will not drop still more."
The Austrians did not distinguish between financial and tangible asset booms, nor provide any examples or a forecasting model.

This is KarmaVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
Up until Oliver, Ive been struggling with always seeming to fall for the wrong guy for the wrong reasons, or maybe even the right guy for the wrong reasons. These relationships would, naturally, be very brief, and my period of temporary happiness would fluctuate with frustration at myself for doing it againessentially, go through with the fling even though I know its both pointless and fruitless. Im convinced it has something to do with some sort of complex of needing to know someone cares about me on another level other than just friends. Or the whole physical need factor. Its a little sad.
Enter Oliver. Oliver has absolutely nothing in common with any of the guys Ive chased after these past few years. He is passive, a little straight-laced, and a whole lot dense. And above all, Oliver has been my friend for three years (all the other guys were spur-of-the-moment almost-strangers). Ironically, my first relationship was with my best guy friend, but since then, although the relationship didnt fall apart or anything that would scare me from another such relationship, Ive never strayed into that kind of territory again. But right now, it feels like Oliver completes a part of me (not in a disgusting, sickly sweet way. I mean to say that I feel the most live and stimulated when Im with him).
But as far as clichés go, Oliver is mad in love with another girl. Shes a part of his four person clique. Oliver, his guy friend, the girl he likes, and her girl friend. They are inseparable and do everything and anything possible together (no exaggeration here). Its a widely known fact within school how chummy they are, especially how much Oliver likes the girl. But the girl has no intentions of being with Oliver and remains his good friend only.
In contrast, this past year, I feel as though Olivers view on me is changing. Several people have come up to me just to state in awe how Im such good friends with Oliver. Its not that he is amazing (no offense (: ), but its that he and his group of friends are so exclusive it seems out of the ordinary to reach a level of friendship as I have with him. That being said, I get hopeful sometimes when Oliver puts me in a priority above that girl, whereas he wouldnt even think twice about doing that for even his guy friends.
I guess all Im trying to ask is how I should approach this situation. I havent fallen for any close friends of mines (or even general friends, no less) for a long time, especially a close friend who is already infatuated with a girl he undoubtedly knows is not interested. Sometimes I want to yell at him because he cant see that the girl is passively using him, but I also want something good to happen to him for once. Hes the kind of guy who deserves it, not because hes persistent but because hes earnest. Either way, I just want to know if in this sort of situation, if its possible, and ethical/moral, for me to encourage him to go one way or the other (either stay persistent with the current girl or move on, selfishly but hopefully to me). Also, what is your take on the growing relationship between me and Oliver? Thank you for reading this ridiculously long message!
RomanceClass.com Advice
There is a very old saying: "All's fair in love and war."
The only general exception is that you shouldn't break up an existing marriage or a girlfriend/boyfriend.
That is not the situation here so you are free to try anything that might work.
As his friend, you might try this (dangerous) approach: advise him to ask the other girl out and hope she turns him down leaving him to think of you. Also, tell him that if she says no that you would say yes. That will give him even more to think about.
You are in a reasonably good position here, you just need to plan well and speak well.
Good luck! George

The locals are calling it Pablo. Its international name is Bopha. Whatever the name, this typhoon is a frightening sight as it looms over the Philippines. This image was captured on 2 December from the International Space Station.
Bopha peaked with winds over 260 kilometres per hour as it approached the country, where it has displaced 40,000 people into shelters, wiped out villages and left hundreds dead or missing.
The Philippine island of Mindanao is hardest hit, less than a year after 1200 of its people were killed by tropical storm Washi.
Also visible in the photo are the ISS's Permanent Multipurpose Module on the left, and the Rassvet Mini-Research Module 1 on the right.
This storm is Pablo to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center uses the name Bopha. Its location in the north-west Pacific Ocean is what makes Bopha a typhoon rather than a hurricane - that's the only difference between the two. With such high wind speeds Bopha is equivalent to a category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean.

Extending Report Builder 2.0
As I mentioned in my previous blog, Report Builder 2.0 RC1 has arrived. Although perhaps too early in the game, you may wonder how you can get the most out of Report Builder 2.0 and extend it when the built-in features are not enough. As Report Designer and Report Builder 2.0 share the same design surface, you may believe that they are equally extensible. Unfortunately, this is not quite the case. Specifically, due to time constraints, Report Builder 2.0 supports the following RS extensibility features only in server mode:
- Custom Data Processing Extensions
- Custom Security
- Custom Report Items
Server mode is triggered when you open a report from the server or when the report references a shared data source whose definition must reside on the server. When you preview a report in server mode, the report is processed and rendered on the server. The above extensibility areas are not available in client mode. For example, the user can open a server report that has a custom report item, sets its properties (assuming that the right configuration settings have been made to the Report Builder 2.0 configuration files), and preview the report, as shown in the screenshot. However, the Report Builder 2.0 ribbon will not be extended with the custom report item. Nor the user will be able to author a report from scratch and add the custom report item to the report.
The unfortunately side effect is that if the business user needs to use a CRI on a report, such as the Dundas Map CRI, a developer must author a "shim" report with Report Designer, add the CRI to the report, and deploy the report to the server so the business user can use the report as a starting point.
The only extensibility mechanism that seems to be working in client mode in RC1 is custom code (embedded and external). More than likely, Report Builder 2.0 will get the entire extensibility support of Reporting Services at some point of time. If you want to expedite the process, log your wish on connect.microsoft.com and vote for extensibility features you need Report Builder 2.0 to provide.

Lawmakers debating whether to delay flood insurance reforms could take a lesson from Florida.
The National Flood Insurance Program is nearly $25 billion in debt.
Last year, lawmakers appeared to recognize this crisis by overwhelmingly passing the Biggert-Waters Insurance Reform Act, which included higher flood insurance rates in high-risk areas.
However, with many rate changes taking effect in October, some members of Congress have supported delaying these rate increases by as much as five years.
Current flood insurance premiums under the National Flood Insurance Program are outdated and highly subsidized. Some homeowners pay as little as 40 percent of the true market rate despite living in flood-prone areas.
Artificially low rates lead to overdevelopment of valuable coastal wetlands and low-lying, flood-prone areas used as storm barriers and wildlife habitat. An increasingly insolvent flood insurance program can't keep up with claims.
These problems are not unique to the National Flood Insurance Program. Florida's state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corporation has also long subsidized highly vulnerable areas at below-market rates.
Even with a $6.3 billion surplus, Florida has taken steps to protect the program by allowing rates to rise closer to true market levels - essentially the same remedy included in Biggert-Waters.
By delaying or rolling back the new rates prescribed by Biggert-Waters, this would result in higher premiums and a greater financial toll in the future.
We need to take steps now to prevent financial ruin in the future. Citizens' Insurance and Florida legislators have realized this reality, and Congress should follow their lead.

[Question] - Diagnose: eXtreme delays when (Win XP) log on to a domain
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Windows XPWhat about using the UserEnvDebugLevel key in registry to log details of a user logging in (Steps recreated below, at end)? First of all am i correct in believing that this setting would capture processes AFTER logging in only? (If above true) Is there anyway of catching the delays (via a log) when the process boots up till before it gets to the login prompt... for example when it sit's stuck on stages such as: "Applying Computer Settings", or others... Intention being that if i could get these logs and times i can just sift through it and figure out excactly what is taking too long (rather than do guess work, turn this off turn that on, etc). Any ideas out there? STEPS: 1. Start regedit and locate the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon 2. Create a new value called UserEnvDebugLevel as a REG_DWORD, and set the value to 30002 in hexadecimal format. 3: The log file can be found at: %windir%\debug\usermode\userenv.log .
[Question] - Diagnose: eXtreme delays when (Win XP) log on to a domain
shamshasan posted a topic in Windows XPI have a problem addressed by MS whitepaper: 832161 - "You experience a delay when you use your Windows XP computer to log on to a domain or to connect to a network resource" [Note: OS: XP Pro SP2] Wanted to thoroughly understand the details before i venture into exhaustive dianostics to the problem (intention being i don't have to diagnose *all* the possible causes mentioned). Appreciate everyone's help. These questions are in the context of the problem & symptoms mentioned in the paper and i'd appreciate answers within that realm too. I understand that this can be a 'cause' of delay? However, an 'error' message isn't received. What would happen here then? So that would be an misplacement. Why do we have to place them in that particular order? Ok so this causes a delay, why? What *actually* happens (so the technical part) when you order them improperly? Why/How is this a problem? What are the technicalities involved that make this a problem? What would happen if you set things up like this? Why is this a problem? How should it be set?Also, User Profiles can provide a detailed log to aid troubleshooting. To create a detailed log file for user profiles: 1. Start regedit and locate the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon 2. Create a new value called UserEnvDebugLevel as a REG_DWORD, and set the value to 30002 in hexadecimal format. The log file can be found at: %windir%\debug\usermode\userenv.log True? I hope to use this to be able to gather data on what is causing the delays at bootup. Any advice? Thanks Title Edited - Please follow new forum rules from now on -- Martin L
Interesting (algorithm) problem needs solving...
shamshasan posted a topic in Windows XPI had an interesting (impossible) problem that I was working on that I figure you guys could help me out with: I have a universal set of printers: O1, O2, O3,... Ox, Oy, Ozlist maintained on Server-A. [*] Subset [O1: O3] will be made available to all other MACHINES via script. [*] Anyone USER can add subset [Ox: Oz] [*] For example: User-S has: [O1, O2, O3] & [Ox] [*] User-S also has similar object not on OUR list (Server-A) Uu, for example a USB printer, so: User-S: [O1, O2, O3] & [Ox] & [uu] Now... if I destroy O3 from Server-A. I want to be able to destroy O3 from all machines too; without destroying [Ox] & [uu] off of the user's profile. But I don't have any memory on the user's profile and no memory on the server. So how do I do a comparison of sorts to figure out: - remove O3 - don't remove Ox, Uu Know any algorithm that would do/take-care-of this?
Where r settings maintaing default printers stored
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Windows XPIn conclusion: In the AD/GPO environment, with roaming Profile setup for users (in order of application): 1) if there's a login script that is setting printers as default in particular OUs this will ofcourse take place on machines. 2) when logging into machines (previously used by a user), in OUs that have no login scripts setting default printers, users will see the printers set as default in the past ON THAT MACHINE. 3) when logging into machines (previously NOT used by a user EVER, e.g. a RISed machine), in OUs that have no login scripts setting default printers, users will see printer set as default in last used machine - this is an ONLY ONE TIME CASE. This case only occurs once. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [ FINDINGS ] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Default printer settings are saved as per machine, i.e. the user sees the printer LAST set as default ON A PARTICULAR machine and the default printer setting has no correlation to other machines except on (1) a first time login or (2) a login script setting default printers by force. Why is there a difference between logging back onto Y or X after coming from z? - There is NO difference. except if either x & y are freshly installed/RISed machines on a domain where the user has never logged in before. Were and how are these settings being stored in the user profile. - ntuser.dat file, not a granular connection of settings (not readble :-P) - currently this file is stored in the user profile (3M file) and the local user location (1M file) - the Device value in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows If I manually setup a printer for my office, do I see the printer from a cluster machine? - YES (covered in first email) Does it make a difference if this a printer connected locally to a printer, or a printer share or a printer setup via LPR? - no difference Some details regarding login scripts: 'KiXtart' (scripting language) has built in functions for managing printers! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [ TEST-START ] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is a detailed outline of my thorough testing procedures and findings. * COMPUTERS: - PC-O(ffice), - PC-T(est), - PC-L(ab), * OUs: - IT (sets default printer to IT.prn... through log in script), - LP, aka Local-Printer (doesn't set default printers, allows user's to do that on machines within this OU), - Lab (sets default printer to Lab.prn... through log in script), A055.prn... is the lab/Cluster printer. * Test procedure: 01) Place <PC-O> & <PC-T> in <OU-IT> // Place <PC-L> in <OU-Lab> 02) Reboot ALL PCs 03) login to PC-O - Expected?

Where r settings maintaing default printers stored
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Windows XPGot good stuff on MSKB: Article 252388: How to Add a Default Printer for All New Users shoulda saw that earlier!
Where r settings maintaing default printers stored
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Windows XPOk so here's what i understand: The default printer settings are saved in the ntuser.dat file at log off and restored and log on. The ntuser.dat file is located in the %USERPROFILE% (when roaming) however i also see the ntuser.dat file locally on the machine. This is probably explained by the fact that the profile drops things locally onto the PC and at logoff/shutdown copies things back to the profile (to avoid latency). I know most of the other folders do this when roaming. (Yeah... it's me asking and me solving and me asking again... some help/comments would be appreciated) I'm trying to understand: the environment and in particular default printer settings as per the user profile and roaming. In our environment: The login script is pushed out by GPO applied to the MACHINES (not the users). it is a simple script that: maps all selected printers that we choose to make public, goes through AD and on a case by case basis, "if in OU-X set Printer-X as default" i don't understand (although i will try to explain it) why the following happens (similar to my case above, reconstructed more properly here): -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To begin: PC-Lab in OU-Lab where Printer-Lab set as default by script, PC-Office & PC-test in OU-T where Printer-T set as default by script, i've added some hidden printer (Printer-H), off of the share (off of the printer server) to my profile (user-shams). Logging into PC-Lab default printer: prn-Lab (as expected) (Prn-H is available everywhere, since it is (1) on the share, (2) on user profile) Logged back into PC-Office default printer: Prn-T (as expected) <PC-Office & PC-test moved to some other OU where there's no login script setting default printers!> <While logged into PC-Office: set Printer-H, the manually added printer, as default> Log into PC-Lab default printer: Prn-Lab (as expected) So far so good... this is expected... script is running on OU-Lab to set Prn-Lab as default. However at this point intuition tells me that when i login to PC-Office i should either: STILL see Prn-Lab as default (on PC-Office) because: ntuser.dat saves default printer as Prn-Lab off of PC-Lab --> login at PC-Office runs no script --> ntuser.dat copied off of profile & pushes Prn-Lab from past, or see Prn-H on PC-Office as default if i've completely misunderstood how ntuser.dat is working in regards the profile... point 1 was what i was going with completely. point 2 is only coz i *know* what happened. Prn-T should not show up at all now... which is what happens. (Here i first log in to the test machine which has been dormant for so long) Logging into PC-Test default printer: prn-Lab (this is what i expected... the printer, set as default, on the past machine (running a script) is set as default here because there's no script setting default printers for the user at login on this machine (now)). (now comes the monkey wrench in my entire setup) Logging into PC-Office default printer: Prn-H. granted that Prn-H set as default on this machine, once upon a time (!!!). BUT (1) i changed this on the user profile when i logged into Prn-Lab & (2) i confirmed this change when i logged into a machine that is NOT running any scripts; the printer set as default was STILL Prn-Lab. Why is it still remembering Prn-H?!?!?!? Can anyone tell me how this works? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I wonder what would happen when: a printer OFF THE SHARE is connected locally to the users' office machine (so that gets copied into their profile), a printer is connected via LPR to the users' office machine (DOES that gets copied into their profile) Please folk... lol... ask questions if you don't get what i'm asking. Thanks Shams
Where r settings maintaing default printers stored
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Windows XPTesting shows that the *default printer* on a machine is depandant upon (1) machine profile + (2) user profile. I need to know where these settings are stored. Any one have any clues?
Where r settings maintaing default printers stored
shamshasan posted a topic in Windows XPThe environment: Machines are RISed, maintained by GPOs applied to (super-set) OUs in Active Directory. (running XPpro) Office machines (O1... O9) O1 == user/X's machine. O2 == some random machine user/X has never logged into (Office machines don't have log in scripts setting default printers for users) Labs (L1... L5): (in the labs we set default printers via log-in script) Printers (P1... P9) P1 to P5 == networked printers that are installed by log-in script P6 to P9 == networked printers that are NOT installed by log-in script. Are available to install and print to via LPR/IP/Hostname. Px == printer in Lx, so when users log in to the Lab L1, login script automatically sets default printer as P1. user/X has installed some shared printers on O1. Printer P9 is set as default on O1. What is happening: Currently user/X sets default printer on O1 to wherever they please. However when user/X logs into machines in L1, P1 is defaulted to. This is fine. When user/X goes to O2, not their office machine, they see printer P1 set as the default printer. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO LOGIN SCRIPT SETTING A DEFAULT PRINTER (and this, i'm guessing, by power of deduction, is *why* it happens) Given the case above then... if user logs back into O1, office machine, printer P1 should still be recognised as default? Testing shows that on machine O1, the past default set printer P9 is still recognised. I'm confused. Where's the default printer setting stored on XP? user or machine? Also is this supposed to be happening? Concerns:This is a problem because: a lot of paper is being wasted because users are printing at wrong location, related: professors printing exams at lab printers because set that printer when there for class IN THE PAST!!! current printer script doesn't set paper size and hence users printing leave printers hanging, and difficult to manage print queues with current login script. You all's suggestions/questions would be appreciated. Shams PS: Hope my symantics made it easier to understand the problem rather than difficult.
Annoying Win (XP) security problem w/ Quick Launch
shamshasan posted a topic in Windows XPIn our Windows XP Pro + Active Directory + netapp servers infrastructure we're facing an annoying windows security problem with shortcuts on quicklaunch. Details: Domain machines are built off of RIS GPO through Active Directory used to dish out most settings, including user settings. User profiles (and data) are stored on a net-app box: \\net-app box\user-list\some-user\ |_ MyDocuments\ | |_ WindowsOverhead\ |... |_ Desktop\ |... |_ profile\ |... |_ Application Data\ |... ... |_ Microsoft\ |... ... ... |_ Quick Launch\ |... ... ... |... |_ <empty> <---- note |... ... ... | |... ... ... |_ Internet Explorer\ |... ... ... ... |_ Quick Launch\ |... ... ... ... ... |_ <contains shortcuts> <---- note When trying to launch applications through shortcuts on the users' quick launch we get a SECURITY WARNING with details (example, below, is of an attempt to launch IE - also GIF file linked to show details.)

Roaming PST files
shamshasan posted a topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016Are things such as rules, Outlook interface settings, and settings such as for the reading pane settings - right or bottom... part of the Outlook PST file¿ (stuff other than Address book, mail folders, notes, tasks, calendar items - stuff which i KNOW are a part of the PST file)... are these part of the PST file?! If not... where are these stored... So i've got a general plan to roam PST files (stored on a server) for users on my Domain. Policy pushed out via GPO and ADM templates. If the above file (if there is such a thing) IS seperate from a PST file... is there a settings in ADM template that can roam that? While i'm at it what about the N2K file... can that be set to a different location via ADM template? ThankS! Shams Edit: oh... and yes... i know MS doesn't support roaming PST files and they recommend using Exchange for that still... help pleaSE?!
Migrating Outlook profiles to server
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016Now i'm wondering: Machines that already have an Outlook Profile (created in the default location: C:\...\Local Settings\...\Outlook\) ... (suppose) i've moved/copied these files to the server. I have my new configuration of outlook also ready where the profiles for all users WILL point to the files on server (and new users will get the data created on first-run). ON MACHINES THAT ALREADY HAD PROFILES SETUP (default) what is the best way of CHANGING the path to the PST file (i.e. registry keys, etc...). What about using a GPO setting? What are the PROs and CONs of using the PRF file over GPO?? My thoughts (gathered from MS knowledge base): Registry changes can be made with CIW/CMW Functional areas in the PRF file include: - A section specifying actions to take, such as ... modifying existing profiles, overwriting existing profiles ... - Sections that map information specified in earlier parts of the file to registry key settings Using Group Policy (GP) to deploy Office 2003 - good choice in the following settings: - Small- or medium-sized organizations that have already deployed and configured the Active Directory® directory service. -- definately me. > $Note: This could apply for PRF as well really. Using GP would allow us to merge user details from AD (required to deploy by GPOs) PRF is made for working with Outlook (office). Help folks?!
Migrating Outlook profiles to server
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016So: Current Configuration: Currently all our users' Outlook Profiles Settings (OPS) don't have any roaming capability. Files are also unrecoverable if lost. Files are stored in a default location: C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ New Configuration: We recently decided to move all the OPSes to the servers and open them ON there. Mapping (suggested): \\<user ID>\WindowsOverhead\appdata\Microsoft\Outlook\ We will have an automatically created/loadable OPS (through Profile Wizard) and place that in the MST for Outlook... and use that in the MSI setup. We use AD and GPO settings and hence the domain machines will be automatically updated with this new setup of Outlook automatically after a reboot. That will solve my problem for the new setup itself. Migrating (current users): (This i feel is the biggest issue) New users will automatically get the profiles created -- so that's easy. However (!) users who currently have their own profiles already setup and dandy on their machines... how will those be copied over into the new profiles and be replaced instead? I was hoping that that's what the 'Migrating User' option (in CIW) does (without having to test it.). How would a client such as Profile Maker do this? i.e. once the new image is pushed out through GPO and the user runs Outlook instead of a new profile being created one would WANT the older profile to be copied over to \\<user ID>\WindowsOverhead\appdata\Microsoft\Outlook\. Thanks for all the help!
Migrating Outlook profiles to server
shamshasan replied to shamshasan's topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016what about the Custum Installation Wizard tool provided in Office Resource Kit tools that provide the 'migrate user settings' option (highlighted in image below)? Have you (anyone else) used that process? BTW, looking at Profile Maker... is cool... but i was wondering if i could just keep the process as simple and limited within # of tools used, # brands jumped around between... you know keep things as consistent as possible Thanks!
Migrating Outlook profiles to server
shamshasan posted a topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016We have a startup with approx 20 current users, 10 more to come. We setup a network with all machines on a domain. Most of our users have been using outlook for a while. Thus they have a profile with rules and data in a PST file -- stored locally on their machine. We want to move all their outlook profiles (PST, rules, etc) to a server and get them to point to it (UNC) from their machine (using folder redirection) so that they can roam. Does anyone know any good TOOLS/METHODS to assist in migrating outlook 2003 profiles (PST, rules, etc.)? There's one in the Custum Installation Wizard (Step 9 of 24) that i haven't tried using. Is their any documentation? Thanks

Biofeedback is like eavesdropping on our body's internal conversations and using this information to change negative patterns that are contributing to poor physical and mental health. Our bodies are a sea of information and communication, every organ talking to every other organ. As a general rule, we do not pay attention to these inside-the-skin conversations. With sophisticated listening devices we can collect this information and feed it back to our brains through our ears, eyes, and touch. With practice, we can then begin to change inside-the-skin events to make us healthier. You already use biofeedback. If you charge up the steps noticing your heart rate and respiration go up, you slow down.
Now medical science is able to help us listen in to the quieter messages that otherwise go unnoticed until we have medical or emotional problems. With biofeedback we can change temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, chemical responses, electrical impulses, and even brainwaves.

It's Time For Year-End Business Preparation
As the year draws to a close, there are a few steps that can help wrap up the bookkeeping side of your business. My friend Barb Fisher of Fisher Business Management has published a helpful tip sheet which I have borrowed from liberally.
1. Forms
Audit vendors for W-9 forms. Run a report showing every vender that you paid more than $600 during the year. Check each qualifying vendor for a W-9 on file.
2. Travel
Collect, enter, and file all mileage information. Be sure to enter the mileage in the month incurred so the monthly profit and loss report is accurate.
3. HR Records
Audit employee records. Print each employee record and have them verify the SSN, mailing address, and all W-4 information.
4. Balance
Reconcile the following:
• Vendor accounts
• Checking accounts
• Credit card statements
• Credit lines
• Employee loans
• Payroll advances, etc.
Clean up as needed, and don't forget about cash receipts.
5. Cash
Is there cash to spend down before year-end? Do a careful cash flow projection for year-end. Remember that cash and profit are different but still linked together. If you made a profit, make sure you know where that cash went.
6. Prepare information for taxes
Find out what your accountant or tax preparer needs to complete your business taxes. Being organized for year-end will save time and money come tax time.
7. Left-Overs
Do you have a Section 125 cafeteria plan? Request a report from the administrator to inform employees about remaining money. Are there vacation or personal days that will expire? Print out a report so that employees know where they stand.
Disclaimer: this checklist is a reminder about accounting steps that can help keep business operations running smoothly. It's not intended to be a comprehensive approach to accounting needs. Your mileage may vary. If you have questions or would like help with year-end tasks, contact Fisher Business Management for a consultation.

Artists in Residence and Master Painters Featured
(Nantucket, MA) – May 25, 2010 Century House, the oldest continuously operating inn on Nantucket Island, announces its "Art on the Piazza" series Thursday evenings in June, 5:30-7:30 pm as an opportunity for inn guests and friends to mingle with members of its Artist in Residence Program currently staying at the inn. The inn's charming veranda and patios will host artists' easels at work, informal discussions, displays and conviviality.
Longtime artists Kevin Shea www.kevinjsheafineart.com, Catherine Elliott www.catherinemelliott.com and Christopher Wheat www.christopherwheat.com kick off the series June 3, 2010. Featured on CNN, Shea's body of work include scapes of Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox, Nantucket and Tuscany, Italy. Inspired by Van Gogh and Claude Monet, Elliott's impressionistic style of painting explores atmospheric conditions capturing a moment in time and place. "Becoming a part of the environment" is very important to the custom paintings of Wheat who divides his time between Nantucket and the Finger Lakes.
The series continues June 10, 2010 with Gary Korlin www.garykorlin.com whose works have been compared to John Singer Sargent. Many hang in private collections in England, France, Italy, Austria, South Africa and the USA.
During Nantucket 's Film Festival June 17 – 20, Century House will feature Master Painters Leonard Mizerek www.leonardmizerek.com and William Duffy www.williampduffy.com both members of the American Society of Marine Artists and the prestigious Guild of Boston Artists. Len, known for his colorful , luminous seascapes and expressive brushwork; and Bill – whose quote* below speaks for itself – will be a terrific hit with Film Festival attendees as the arts complement one another. William Duffy said "Over the last ten years, through the kind and energetic encouragement of Innkeepers JeanE and Gerry, not to mention the fabulous accommodations of Century House, Nantucket has become one of the places which puts me in a state of heart where I have done some of my best work."
Completing the"Art on the Piazza" series June 24, 2010 will be Master Painters Marla Korr www.cavaliergalleries.com, John Caggiano www.johncaggiano.com, and Joan Chakonas www.horseracingpaintings.com. A member of the National Artists League and Marine Artist of America, Marla's paintings are influenced by both Classical Realsim and Impressionism , combining a range of feelings with technical excellence and craftsmanship. Caggiano's bold and dynamic use of color and palette knife have resulted in award winning paintings which have appeared in numberous publications and TV media including ABC's Good Morning America. Chakonas brings a whole different and exciting dimension to the art world with her passion for "honoring the greatest animal on the planet, the thoroughbred racehorse" through her work.
Innkeepers Gerry and JeanE began the Century House Artist in Residence Program in the 1980's to enrich their lives through the eyes of the talented artists who long to paint on Nantucket Island. Over the years, guests have enjoyed not only the opportunity to meet the artists during their stay at Century House but also view their works hanging at the inn.
If you would like more information about this topic or to schedule an interview with innkeepers JeanE and Gerry, please contact Otilia Herput at 508.228.0530 or email Otilia at firstname.lastname@example.com. More details on participating artists will be posted on http://www.centuryhouse.com
The Century House dates back to the Cliff Road land purchase in 1833. According to research performed by Edouard A. Stackpole, renowned Nantucket historian and former director of the Peter Foulger Museum, the Century House was built by a member of an old Nantucket family of Scottish roots, Captain Robert Calder. It is said that Capt. Calder chose this site because of the privacy, the ocean breezes, the views, and the genuine serenity the location provided in the 1840's and still exhibits today. According to Mr. Stackpole, the Century House is the oldest continuously operating guesthouse on Nantucket Island.

Cool idea Miloh!

Here is the specific link;

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n

* Atheros AR7240 CPU (400Mhz)

* Atheros AR9331 Chipset (integrated wireless)

* 802.11 b/g/n 150Mbps (130Mbps real)

* 4 MB flash memory

* 32 MB RAM

Also worth pointing out that when a router fails, such as a WRT-54 series or similar, its usually the capacitors or the regulator in the power supply section. This could be fixed/hacked at CHM as well.

Circuit Hacking Monday, Dec 3 2012, 7pm - 11pm

 Next Dec 3, 2012, at Circuit Hacking Monday, I'm going to lead a
 detour from the normal fare of kits and soldering, towards commodity
 electronics and embeddded devices land. Ālet's focus on the strengths
 of ddwrt and openwrt, get an over view of extant projects and
 documentation, and see what interesting stuff we can find in openwrt
 ddwrt's package managers.

 I'm interested in this because even though it's been a year since I
 first saw the wr703n (at 29c3), which is a tiny little box that just
 uses the a common IC chip often found in routers without all the extra
 space normally devoted to a four port switch. ĀIt really has the same
 functionality as routers that you can put openwrt or ddrwrt on, but
 reduces size to about a 3"x3"x1".

 I only know the basics about the subject, but I bet many folks at
 Noisebridge have knowledge to share and know which devices to hunt for
 for certain features. Can anyone come in next Monday with hacked
 routers to show off?

 Bring out your old routers and set them up to use again. If you have
 spare, unused old routers, bring them in to donate for projects to
 install at Noisebridge. I know this is kind of old stuff compared to
 rpis and due's and whatnot, so bring in that new stuff also, if you
 have it, but for this Monday

 As always with Noisebridge events, this is free to all and everyone is
 welcome.
