Not worth the money
By FLRabbit on
Vehicle2007 Volvo C70 T5 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
ReviewThis car has been a maintenance nightmare. I've had to fix things on this car I've never had to think about on any other car, and parts and labor are a fortune. Volvo closed the dealership where I bought it so now I have to drive an hour each way to get service. Not that they care, because you often have to keep going back before they admit to or find the problem. This car is fun to drive when it's in shape, but unfortunately that's almost never. It goes through tires like a big dog goes through bones. You get weird little rattles and shimmies everywhere (that Volvo will blame on road conditions) and random things breaking that cost hundreds of dollars to fix. Not worth it at all.
Best FeaturesPaint color, convertible top works OK, but sometimes computer thinks it's open when it's not.
Worst FeaturesVolvo needs to build cars for people that drive, not for people that have 5 cars and drive each one once a week. This car is just not worth what they charge and neither is the quality of their service.

To be completely honest, I won't even bother to include any spoiler, well, up to you to look at it as a spoiler or not. I personally don't think them as spoilers. I was not much of a fan of Transformers. I was not even interested to watch it, but my sister and brother-in-law wanted to watch it, and they asked me to come along, and since I'm not paying for the ticket...why not, right? So, I went there. What I can say about the movie? Nice effect....and that's it. *ugghh* I can't stop yawning throughout the movie! The movie is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. I think they can wrap up the movie in two hours. Instead, they wanna make it into three long hours of agony! There are too many characters that could've been more significant...but was not. Like that Asian girl, I can't remember her name...that was how badly her role was highlighted. She could've played more role, but all she did was doing some action and ask Joshua to go to the rooftop. Not to forget those dinosaur robots, they deserve more scene...don't you think? What about the other four autobots? Sad, just sad. Then, there are some characters that won't make a difference if there are not even there. Such as, that British blond woman...I don't even remember her name because that is how insignificant her character is. SHE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Then, there's Megatron.....WTF WAS HE EVEN DOING THERE? His only purpose is basically to create some fight scene...AND to lead the movie into another sequel...which seriously, after this movie...YOU DON'T NEED ONE ANYMORE!! This movie...has effects...but NO STORY. If it's shorter, then maybe I can sense some story line...but no, it's three hours long, I can't feel the story is moving anywhere. After two hours, I can't stop looking at my watch and asking my sister: "When will this movie end?" Seriously, save your money people. If you want to watch it...just wait until it's on HBO or something. Just...save your money. But hey, this is just my opinion. If there are people out there who love it, then I respect that. Unfortunately for me, it feels like watching someone playing video game...and that person was playing it terribly =_= My rating from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best? Maybe 3.5/10. Mostly because of the CGI and Optimus Prime...not much on anything else.

Gameloft Asphalt 3.v1.2.7 N-GAGE SymbianOS9.1-Cracked-BiNPDA
Asphalt 3 is the follow-up to the Asphalt series of games from the first generation N-Gage and the Nintendo DS. This is a third party title from Gameloft, who specialise in phone games and have supported N-Gage since its first generation. (The Asphalt brand is also used on Java titles from Gameloft, but these aren't really the same games, they just have similar names and themes.)
The Asphalt games are arcade racers, i.e. they're not realistic in the slightest. Their purpose isn't to simulate driving, but to let you pretend you're in a car chase from films like "The Fast And The Furious", doing ridiculously over-the-top driving that would never be possible in real life. The gameplay revolves around illegal street racing, and the emphasis is firmly on doing stuff you shouldn't do: knocking other cars off the road, driving too fast, smashing into crates etc. The score you get for a race is far more influenced by what you do during the race than where you finish in the race, so if you come first but do very little else then you'll get a very low score.
To get by in Asphalt 3 you have to master two things: nitro boosts and "drifting". In general you should drift on every corner and use nitro boosts on every straight, which if done carefully should get you to the head of the pack fairly quickly. Nitros can be picked up from certain points on the track, and they can also be earned by drifting and other activities.
Of course illegal activity means the police will be after you, and if you do too many bad things you'll see a police badge on the screen to indicate that a police car or bike are on your tail. If they catch you there's a hefty penalty to pay, so you can either try to outrun them or nudge them off the road, both of which earn you bonuses. Illegal activity also attracts the attention of news helicopters and you'll sometimes find yourself looking through the camera of a news report, which means you briefly have to steer the car from above (rather like the original gen N-Gage game Glimmerati).
You start the game with just a couple of tracks unlocked, but as you earn money you can unlock the others, making a total of seven tracks (in order of unlocking): Honolulu, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Rome, St. Petersburg, Mumbai and Tokyo.
Earning money also unlocks new vehicles and new engine parts in the garage. You can choose any unlocked car or bike and any unlocked part before a race. The parts menu gets very complex as you unlock more and more, but the garage helps you by displaying the effect each part has on your vehicle's abilities (for example a part might increase top speed but reduce acceleration).
There are a total of nine cars and three bikes (in order of unlocking): Mini Cooper S, Ford Mustang GT, Kawasaki Z 1000, Nissan GTR R34, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Kawasaki ZX 10R, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Ruf RT 12, Pagani Zonda F, Lamborghini LP 640, Ducati Desmosedici RR.
Whichever car or bike you choose, the other cars on the track will automatically be chosen to match it, and the "rubber band" gameplay means you never pull that far ahead of your rivals, but never fall that far behind either.
There are a total of five game modes which can be unlocked, covering a variety of contrasting gameplay styles:
- Race: A straightforward three lap contest to get to the finish line, you earn the most money from bonuses on the track but you have to finish in the top 3 to keep the money.
- Beat 'Em All: The most aggressive mode, you have to push six other racers or police cars off the track before you've done three laps.
- Cop Chase: The roles are reversed, you control a police car and your task is to catch the leader of some street racers. Hitting innocent cars costs you points, but at least you don't have to worry about police trying to catch you for speeding.
- Vs: You race against one other car to reach the finish line after two laps.
- Cash Attack: You have to earn over $20,000 from various bonuses by the end of three laps. If you earn less than this, you lose the race. One major snag in this mode is that if you lose it doesn't tell you how much you did earn, so you've no idea how much you lost by, making it very difficult to chart your progress.
The strategy you need to win varies wildly from one mode to the other, for example "Beat 'Em All" doesn't require you to be anywhere near the front of the race while "Vs" requires you to come first.
The game can be played in both vertical/portrait and horizontal/landscape modes, and can also be flipped if you want to use the controls on the other side of the phone. Because it's a racing game it felt slightly more comfortable to play in horizontal/landscape mode, but it was still perfectly okay in vertical/portrait mode, especially if you use the camera keys to zoom out a bit before the race begins.
The controls of the game are fairly similar in all modes, with the bulk of features being accessed through the d-pad (the button does nitro, down brakes, left and right steer). Drifts are a bit trickier, you have to press 8 during a turn, but if your phone has gaming keys you can drift with the lower gaming button. The keypad's * and # buttons control the camera angle, which is most useful in vertical/portrait mode as it lets you see more of the road around you.
Three of the twelve vehicles in the game
Graphics & Sound
Before we discuss the graphics in Asphalt 3, it should be remembered that this isn't a 50 euro console game, it's a 10 euro phone game. As a phone game, the graphics are very very good. They're not perfect, and they'd be better if they used the graphics accelerator chip on certain N-Gage models, but in general the game looks extremely pretty and detailed. As well as you and the other racers, the streets are populated with other traffic, police cars, trams and even press helicopters, which really adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps the biggest graphical glitch is the strangely wobbly camera at the beginning, but once the race begins the camera is fine.
The look of each tracks is very different thanks to the globe-trotting nature of the game. The 3D is a lot more detailed than on previous Asphalt games, and the game world on each track feels a lot more real. However, it would have been nice to see more variety on each track through the use of different times of day and different weather conditions (the snow on the St. Petersburg track is a tantalising glimpse of how much this could have added to the game).
The feeling of speed conveyed by the graphics varies from track to track and situation to situation. Sometimes, especially when you're using the bikes, the game feels incredibly fast, but in other situations the game starts to slow down because there are too many objects near each other at once. In general though the game is playably smooth. A higher frame rate is always welcome of course, but the current frame rate is perfectly adequate.
Sound is pretty much what you'd expect from this kind of game, the music is straight out of a Hollywood film with a mixture of pop, rock and hip-hop. The title screen has a rather nice rendition of Misirilou in the style of Dick Dale. The soundtrack and sound effects are all recorded in high quality, and suit the game very well. Whether you like them depends on your taste, but if you enjoy arcade racers then you'll probably enjoy Asphalt 3's sound.
The one problem audiowise was the volume control, which didn't seem to vary the volume properly.
Four of the seven tracks: Honolulu, Tokyo, Mumbai (aka Bombay), Rome
N-Gage Arena
Shamefully, the only Arena feature of Asphalt 3 is a rankings board. No shadow racing, no online multiplayer, just high score posting.
Even worse, we could not get the rankings to work at all, either in the game or in the N-Gage app. The screen just stayed blank.
As things stand, Asphalt 3 gets a big fat zero for its online features, which is a real shame because it has a lot of potential as an online multiplayer game. Hopefully Asphalt 4 will let us race against each other on the Arena in real time.
If you're looking for a realistic racing simulator, Asphalt 3 is not for you. If you're looking for a fun, easy-to-get-started arcade racer then this may well be your cup of tea. Despite its attempts at realistic graphics Asphalt 3 is actually a very cartoony title, like a sort of Mario Kart designed for petrolheads, which is a good thing.
A big shock for some people may be how little Asphalt 3 values winning a race or scoring a low lap time. If you get to the front of a race, stay there and finish first, your score will be very low. If you stay in the middle of the pack, cause as much mayhem as possible and then finish third, your score will be very high.
Seven tracks may seem like a small number, but the five distinct game modes make you approach the tracks in totally different ways. Catching a criminal in "Cop Chase" is a completely different game to smashing the city up in "Cash Attack", and this kind of contrast adds greatly to the game's replay value.
Perhaps Asphalt's biggest drawback is the lack of clarity over what actually gets you credit in the end-of-race score. The score rundown after a race has a mysterious "others" section which frequently contains more money than any of the other bonus categories, and even the listed bonuses aren't explained properly anywhere (what's the difference between "Takedown" and "Road Rage" for example?). In one "Beat 'Em All" race this reviewer managed to take down four cars at once at the start of the game, then another, then two at once at the end so that the total score was a bizarre 7 takedowns out of 6, all in the first lap. This would seem to be an amazing fluke, but the end-of-race score was very low because it all happened so quickly. Ironically for an arcade racer, Asphalt 3 seems to punish people for speed.
However, in general Asphalt 3 is a fun and playable game with accessible gameplay, a good selection of game modes, nice sound and nice (though sometimes a bit too jerky) graphics. The lack of online gameplay is a big disappointment though, even shadowracing would have been fun.

StarNews Salute To Nurses- Fonda Wall, RN
Published May 9, 2017
StarNews' Salute to Nurses recognizes the compassionate care given by outstanding health professionals. When thinking of the attributes of an exemplary nurse, words come to mind such as patience, dedication, adaptability, positive outlook, passion, confidence and last but by no means least, humor! It's with all these attributes in mind that AssistedCare Home Health is honored to nominate Fonda Wall, RN, for Salute to Nurses nomination.
Fonda came to AssistedCare in 2015, starting out as a psych nurse doing home health. After several months, however, she broke her foot and could not be out in the field. Not willing or wanting to stay home, Fonda offered to help out in the office with Process Improvement and education (dedication). Over time her role has grown to being the "go to person" on many fronts (positive outlook). While still holding on to her passion, working with patients, she realized she could also live her passion by "helping the clinician" that serves our patients! She has taken over the planning of the orientation process for each new clinician, helps PI with chart rebuilds, sets up and trains on the telehealth process, and streamlines processes to improve efficiencies. When we had a Clinical Team Manager recently go out on leave, Fonda was willing to jump in and assist with this role (confidence), and truly became the "acting CTM." She learned payroll, performing it quickly and accurately, helps staff work through day to day matters that need resolution, always willing to stop what she does to help a clinician with computers (patience), regulations, client relations, along with helping our team assistants to assure all coverage. Fonda is there to help whenever and wherever she can (adaptability), and remembers to never let go of the humor… which helps us all get through the day!
Without a doubt, Fonda is worthy of the Salutes to Nurses nomination!

Newborn Puppies Saved from Cruel Watery Death by Homeless Man – VIDEO
For Donovan "Donnie' Justice, shame is not something he feels being homeless because he believes God gives everyone a purpose. Living under a bridge on the Tuscarawas River in Barberton, Ohio, Donnie may have helped to fulfill some of the purpose on Monday.
A passing motorist tossed a bag into the river and it didn't take a thought for Donnie to rescue the bag when he say it moving and heard squealing coming from it. Ripping the bag open, he found five newborn black puppies that had been cruelly abandoned to death.
Donnie dried the puppies of and took them to a couple of families who had befriended him to care for. Sadly, one of the babies died but the other four are being cared for and will be turned over to an Akron animal shelter for adoption when they are old enough.
Barberton residents like Debbie Smith are praising Justice. "He's very human, he loves nature because I don't think just anybody would have jumped in there and saved the puppies, a lot of them would have just left them," explained Smith.
They always say God works in mysterious ways, perhaps he placed Donnie there to save those innocent lives. Now hopefully he will point investigators in the direction of the waste of human life who so callously threw it away.
"My heart feels good because I know I did a good thing, I did a good deed," Justice said.
Kudos and great thanks Donnie!!

As the week progressed there was progress. They began to see that they could study and understand what they were studying. Given the right questions to ask, with some simple guidance on what to look for in the text, they were making solid observations on what the author was saying. They were excited that they could do this on their own. They were excited to share what they were seeing in the Word of God.
Yesterday morning we held the next to last meeting of the current Dads Teach the Bible workshop. The men in that workshop have had the identical experience. Different language, different culture, halfway around the world, the same response to the Word of God.
Why do we insist on making this so difficult?

At 7 feet, Satnam Singh Bhamara has a quality that many Indians lack but is almost a pre-requisite to play basketball at the highest level. Height.
The 15-year-old from Punjab, who also has age on his side, is currently in Florida as part of his four-year scholarship at a sporting academy and is working towards his dream of becoming the first Indian to play in the NBA.
" I want to do in India what Yao Ming did in China," says Satnam.
With only one Olympic appearance since 1936 and ranked a lowly 58th in the world, it is no surprise that there aren't many takers for the sport in India. However, Satnam hopes to change that.
But, can the boy from Punjab really be India's Yao Ming or are these just 'tall' claims?
If Satnam's coach is to be believed he has the talent to bring India's presence to the NBA.
"It's definitely a possibility for Satnam to be the first Indian player to play in the NBA. He currently has NBA size. That's definitely going to be one of the first things that teams look at in the future," says coach Nate Vander Sluis.
He adds, "If he continues to work hard and continues to grow and continues to become a better athlete, continues to become a better basketball player, there's no doubt he'll be one of the first Indian players ever to play in the NBA."
Satnam is loving every bit of his Florida stint but misses home food.
"I really miss Indian food. I love my own food. Things like Indian bread and lentil soup, they are two of my favourites," says Satnam.
That, however, is only a small price to pay for the golden opportunity Satnam has.

Is Facebook killing your church? In this episode of Now Is The Time I talk about how social networks can damage the church and I give you 4 tips how to protect your church from the dangers of Facebook!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 25:55 — 23.7MB) | Embed
- We're coming soon!
We will fly to the US on October 15th and we appreciate your prayers! We will be visiting and reporting to our supporters while we are in the States.
Check out our schedule here if you want to see us.
- Two ways to support us
If you support our ministry we want to say "thank you!" and if you're not a supporter yet we invite you join in what God is doing here in Ukraine. Here are two ways you can support us.
Donate through our mission agency ABWE
Now you have a second way to support church planting in Ukraine and get something for yourself too! Just use our affiliate link below to take you to Amazon. Buy yourself some good Christian books while you're there and Amazon will give us a generous percentage of your purchase.
It doesn't cost you anything more, the only difference is you get to support us while getting something you need!
Technology can't replace real relationships
We are more connected by technology today than ever and we are also more alone. The problem is we often think that what we do on social networks can replace real relationships.
But it can't!
Koinonia, the Greek word in the New Testament that describes the fellowship of the early church means the following;
- To have something in common
- To work together on a task
- To live in a society or family
These are things that at some point require real interaction without the aid of a computer.
Check out what that fellowship looked like in Acts 2:41-47
Tips on how to keep Facebook from killing your church
1. Approach Facebook as a tool for the in-between times
Facebook and other social networks are great tools for continuing relationships that we have in our church. The problem is that sometimes our virtual relationships can get in the way of our real life relationships. We need to think of Facebook as tool for the in-between times and not a replacement for real relationships.
2. Use social networks intentionally to bring people closer to Jesus
What do people think when they see your profile, read your status updates our view your photos. Does your Facebook profile bring people closer to Jesus or does it impress them with what you had for dinner last night?
3. Invite people over to your home
For some of you this is difficult to do because you want everything to be perfect. At some point you have to put down your pride and just invite someone over. The quality of fellowship that you have in your home doesn't depend on how delicious your food is or how spectacular the decor but rather on the sincerity of your heart!
Check out Acts 2:46
4. Come to church early and stay late
You know who I'm talking about here! Those of you who slip in just after the service has started and dart out as the Pastor says, "Amen". You're not going to build relationships and enjoy fellowship that way. Why not come 20 mins early next Sunday and find someone new to talk with? Why not stay 20 mins after the service is over and see if there is someone you can pray for?

Austrian Jazz and Funk trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, and sometimes piano & reed player.
He was born April 11, 1940 Sieghartskirchen/NÖ, Austria
Helmut Plattner is one of the founding fathers of the Jazz scene in his native Niederösterreich, the largest of Austria's federal provinces. Together with friends from the Wachau & Tullnerfeld regions, in the early 1960's he had a major part in setting up a Jazz club in Krems, about 40 miles from Vienna.
He shaped many bands in the Krems region–among them the Courthouse Jazzband and the legendary Studio Combo–, but he also made his mark in the jazz scene of the Austrian capital, where he was a welcome guest in Vienna's foremost traditional bands: the Barrelhouse Jazzband, the Blue Note Six, the Red Hot Pods and the Storyville Jazzband and [a=Atlas (4)], to name just a few.
Not satisfied with this achievements alone, during the 1960's he had–obviously not without the help of his wife Erika, who happened to have played the guitar in the Studio Combo, but meanwhile had switched her focus to Classical Music–fathered and raised three children, all of whom turned out to have a proclivity to music, in particular to jazz. The next step predictably was to incorporate his offspring into musical projects, and eventually to unleash the ultimate Austrian family band: the first of international renown since the Trapp family of 'Sound Of Music' fame, and certainly the first ever in Austrian jazz: Plattner & Plattners Jazz Corporation.
The original edition of that ensemble comprised the domestic front line of Helmut Plattner (trumpet), the younger son Bernhard (trombone) and the elder son Christian (clarinet & alto saxophone). In the rhythm section there were two old friends from Krems: [a=Gereon Wolter] (banjo & piano) and Peter Bauer (double bass); and Leslaw Tenczar on drums. At least in the formative years, the stylistic emphasis remained on Traditional Jazz of all varieties–Dixieland, New Orleans & Chicago Jazz, intermingled with brief excursions into Swing & Bebop.

Non-Chemical Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Control
Biofouling from Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) has profound operational impacts. Mussels and other AIS attach to or clog submerged surfaces including water intakes, trashracks, cooling water piping, fire control systems and more – resulting in flow restrictions and blockages that threaten water delivery and power reliability. The associated costs from lost power production can be significant.
The Atlantium Hydro-Optic (HOD) UV treatment solution is proven effective at controlling biofouling from mussels and other AIS, enabling cleaner and more efficient heat transfer in cooling water exchangers.
HOD UV is a cost-effective non-chemical solution that eliminates the need for corrosive chemicals when treating AIS.

I love this tip from The New York Times on how to keep New Year's Resolutions:
Bundle your temptations. This is one of our favorite strategies for tackling health goals, which we tested in an experiment described in a forthcoming paper in Management Science. The idea is best illustrated with a scenario: Imagine you want to exercise more but struggle to drag yourself to the gym. Imagine you also have a fondness for trashy novels but feel guilty wasting your time reading them. The solution is simple: Allow yourself to read those novels only while exercising at the gym. Our research demonstrates that when you leave your copy of "The Hunger Games" (or such) at the gym, you exercise 56 percent more often (and 61 percent of people will even pay the gym to hold their book so it is only available when exercising).
I don't belong to a gym, and I'm even less interested in The Hunger Games. However, I would like to start running more and I loves me some Fringe; hence, Run For Fringe. Simple: If I want to watch an episode of Fringe, I have to run first. It's doubly advantageous, too, since "paying" per episode will force me to stretch out my viewing time.
In an alternate universe, I'm already doing this.

Which do you think are the monsters you most hate in Dungeoneering?Well, some players give us some name, you can just look and ifnd if it is really as hard as you think.
Some don't think so , and they give another list :
What I agree most is the following list:
1. Level 111/133 Mysterious shade. If the player has enough food, he can be against the attack and finish it.
2. Monolith. If you are lucky enough, you can only face some low level ones, then you can make your misson successful. But if not, wish you good luck.
3. Reborn Mage. The specialized wizard of Warp, it can summon two servants with high melee as Necromancer does. If you have ever faced once, you could know how it is.
4. T10/T11 forgotten warrior. It will have not the disadvantage of bind with magic with hex.
5. Level 303 Black Dragon. It has super thick defending skin, with which you can not attack it effectly. The most trouble one is Shadow-Forger and Hope devourer in boss, and in solo, it is world-gorger. Yk'Lagor the Thunderous is also a hard one. When you face it, you may havr to die many times, and Har'lakk the riftsplitter cs can make your prayer lower, and you may think that it is always not enough to relieve internal heat or fever.So what do you think are the most trouble monsters you hate in dungeoneering mission?Guys!Welcome to join 2017 RSorder New Year Treats:50% off osrs gold/rs 3 gold on http://www.rsorder.com/x-off-sale is waitting for you at 03:00am.GMT on Jan.9.2017!

Hello strangers! I have not forgotten you, never fear. Instead, I've been busy. As usual. Amongst this busyness is completely revamping the website from the ground up, so rest assured that this is for your benefit. 🙂
Anyway, my friend Natalia sent me a fantastic little article this morning, and I just had to share. A recent survey was taken out on the most iconic female screen outfit of all time, and Holly Golightly's long black evening gown beat out some stiff competition to come out on top. The long little black dress even beat Marilyn Monroe's unforgettable halter neck dress from The Seven Year Itch and Keira Knightley's stunning green gown from Atonement.

imitation oakleys I say about the product? Great looking classic with a modern touch. Frames are shiny black, lens are green, non-polarised model, adult normal size. In the box was also a protection case and a wipe cloth. Anything you would expect from a Luxottica Ray-Ban product. I am ha Seattle best toaster cheap ralph lauren y designed, lightweight, comfy pair of sports sunglasses, great for biking, kayaking, running, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, and all sorts of other active lifestyle pursuits. Recommended. I've received this pair at a promotional discounted price in exchange for an unbiased review. I've deducted just the one star from the rating, only because (a) thChicago holbrook oakley best e cigarette .
means you don't get the dazzle from the sun at the side. I would suggest you get a large hard case for them - they don't fold down very far and are fiddly to get out of a pouch.
great glasses good fit. I have big head and these are ok. good in maritime industry with glare.. at sea
These are fabulous sunglasses, they are that good that i have 3 pairs of them now.
hard to believe quality shades can be bought at such a low price, white ralph lauren shirt y look much better on than I thought they would too. Bonus!
These sunglasses are the best optical experience I have ever had . It's like watching everything in HD once you slip these bad boys on. The fact that they are polarised and 100% uv protection means you are getting the best protection for your eyes available. Cant wait to get to the beech to see how good the polarised lens really works. Would have scored the oakley spares ld have paid for similar sunglasses in a store. After losing my first pair I immediately ordered another pair of these! I usually use them while flying where it's essential to be able to see out the win.

As a Windows PowerShell enthusiast, I am often thinking about PowerShell. Seems logical. Can I do this? What will happen if I do that? Why doesn't this work!? Well, I had one of those thoughts recently. Can I determine if a function was called using an alias, or if it was called using the function name?
This thought occurred to me because of a change I considered adding to one of my functions. The idea was, that I wanted to prompt the user for confirmation to run a function (within the function), if an alias was used, and not prompt the user when the full function name was used. This lined up with the assumption that an alias could be accidentally entered more easily than the function name, and that we may want to take precautions when the alias was used.
My first consideration was to get the last command entered by the user, by using: (Get-History -Count 1).CommandLine. The problem with that "option," is that the history isn't updated until after the function has ended. This means that I wouldn't know what was entered by the user while the function was running. Take a look at the example below. When I run the function Get-TMHistory the first time, nothing is displayed (in a fresh console), but something is displayed after the second run.
Function Get-TMHistory { Get-History -Count 1 } PS C:\> Get-TMHistory PS C:\> Get-TMHistory Id CommandLine -- ----------- 1 Get-TMHistory
I came up with a another idea. Let's start by creating a new function called Get-TMHowCalled. In addition, we'll need to create an alias for the function – let's use ghc. I've included the New-Alias cmdlet's -Force parameter in case there's already an alias with that name. If there is, then New-Alias acts like Set-Alias, and updates the alias (instead of throwing an error). Note: This option could be problematic if it replaced ghc, and ghc was used for a different purpose.
New-Alias -Name ghc -Value Get-TMHowCalled -Force Function Get-TMHowCalled { }
The next thing to do is to construct the logic that will check and determine if the alias was used, or if the full function name was used. This is simple function: check, and echo what was entered by the user.
Function Get-TMHowCalled { If () { Write-Output -Verbose 'Alias was used.' } ElseIf () { Write-Output -Verbose 'Function name was used.' } }
The secret here is the $MyInvocation automatic variable and its Line property. This stores what was entered, and so it can be used to determine how the function was called – by alias or by name. The best part, is that the variable is populated when the function is called and can, therefore, be queried inside the function. This variable can only be used in "scripts, functions, and script blocks." You can read more about it using this command: Get-Help about_Automatic_Variables.
Function Get-TMHowCalled { If ($MyInvocation.Line -eq 'ghc') { Write-Output -Verbose 'Alias was used.' } ElseIf ($MyInvocation.Line -eq 'Get-TMHowCalled') { Write-Output -Verbose 'Function name was used.' } }
Hope this proves to be helpful for someone. It might be for me.
