Rodent Guys Gopher Control for residential properties uses no poison and is kid safe and Redlands. These techniques have better effeciency than poison and is not dangerous to your family, pets, wild animals or the eco system.
Our gopher traps are positioned inside of the gopher tunnels and are lethal gopher traps. The lethal end of the trap is put far into the tunnel out of the reach of kids and dogs. For a pet to get to a trap it would need to dig it out. Because we don't use bait to attract gophers dogs usually do not pay attention to the gopher traps.
Our dog friendly gopher removal for Redlands is poison-less and the most effective technique you can perfrom. Once we set the gopher traps the gopher mounds will be flattened out. This makes the landscaping look nicer and makes it easier to see additional gopher activity.
The gopher traps will be placed in the gopher tunnels from one to seven days depending on schedule, weather and technician recomendation. Sufficient time is needed for the gopher to find the traps ensuring excellent control prior to returning to remove gophers.
When we come to pick up gophers we will evaluate the sign of gophers and decide if we re-set traps or continue with the second method of treatment. Our second method of treatment uses carbon monoxide.
After the trapping has removed 90-100% of the gopher population we switch to our carbon monoxide makers. These engines inject elevated levels of carbon monoxide into the tunnels leading to the gopher's tunnels and burrow. This method is perfect for treating pups in the burrow and any other gophers sharing the same tunnels. Best of all it is a dog friendly and effective method in Redlands, CA.
A huge advantage is sometimes these machines can kill gophers in neighboring properties that are using the tunnels of the gophers on your property. By using two techniques with completely seperate methods of killing gophers it gives a 100 percent effeciency. Thats why we back up our dog friendly control in Redlands with a 60-day guarantee.
Rodent Guys normal guarantee is 60 days. The guarantee Rodent Guys offer is that any gopher activity observed during the guarantee time is re-treated at no more cost. This includes if we miss a gopher and need to come and remove it or if weeks later a nieghboring gopher enters into your yard.
Rodent Guys carries insurance and proper licensing for your assurance and services Redlands, CA. Our dog friendly gopher eradication is tested and effective. Our techniquesrequire a highly trained trapper are simply the best. That is how we offer the best guarantee of any gopher company.


I am always looking for new ways to be inspired.... I get to work with some pretty motivational, inspirational and creative people and sometimes you get an opportunity to collaborate your talents on a photoshoot.
I regularly work with the Hair & Make-up team Shique on my Brisbane and Gold Coast fitness, glamour and boudoir photoshoots. The Shique beauty ladies were all coming together to do each others makeup and create some content for their social media platforms and asked if I wanted to come on board. With a beautiful penthouse overlooking Brisbane city, 4 beautiful ladies and lots of creative vibes, I couldn't resist.
We created a set of images that were boudoir, fashion with a touch of stylish woman. The results were amazing and can't wait to share them with you below. Check out some of my favourtie images!


Hello loves and happy February 1st! Now that it is February I immediately think of Valentine's Day. I posted a beautiful Valentine's Day dress in my last post. Be sure to check it out. Today I have teamed up with midwestern Etsy shop owner Janet Powers of Janet Powers Everything Beautiful (Etsy name: janetpowers1) to bring you a personalized gift not only for the lady in your life.
I was browsing Etsy for personalized necklaces when I came across Janet's shop and this beautiful bar necklace. I was drawn in to the aesthetics, credibility with reviews, font choice and chain options. For the metal bar you can choose from copper or brass on this particular listing but Janet does offer silver as well. There are 5 font choices to choose from as well as symbols. You have the option of customizing 1 side or all 4 which I love. Other listings charge you per side. As far as chain options go, there are 6. I just love the ball chains which is what I chose. The bar is 1 3/4 inches long and the chains vary in length. You can customize the chain lengths or even request sterling silver by adding a note when purchasing.
As mentioned above, this gift is not only for the ladies. The look is simple that men can wear it too. If fact, many of her reviews were gifts for the men in her customer's lives. I just love that! It doesn't have to remain a necklace at all either. Add it to a zipper as a pull or even put it on your key ring as a key chain.
I customized mine with my wedding anniversary with my husband and my initials on the side. I opted for roman numerals for a more unique look. I like that it takes a little bit for people to decipher what it means. It's a great conversation piece that way, which is what I was looking for. You can add dates, times, names or just symbols to this piece and each one is hand stamped by Janet, with a hammer. No two pieces will be the same and I absolutely love that this is one of a kind.
Order in time for Valentine's Day.
How cool is this?! Finally getting around to checking this out! LOL to Sean's face!! That's cool that they do both men and women's!!
I thought the same thing! I loved the style and the fact that I could customize it, even better! Just by changing the chain makes it more masculine. Sean actually likes it!


When marketing budgets are limited, PR offers one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways for small businesses to promote their products and services, according to Edwina Hughes, director of Eddy & Co.
"Very few small businesses have the luxury of an advertising budget that is sufficient to achieve any real impact," says Hughes. "PR is not only a viable alternative, used wisely it can reap greater rewards over a more sustained period."
The unique advantage of PR over other marketing methods is that it can give products and services the stamp of approval from a third party, such as a magazine or a local paper. "Not only is it free," says Hughes, "PR provides a way of reaching target audiences without giving them a hard sell. People are much more inclined to listen to a message when it is in the form of a press article, a blog or a radio/TV interview rather than an overt advertisement."
Editorial mentions are invaluable because they provide an endorsement, continues Hughes. "If the editor of one of my favourite publications waxes lyrical about a new product or service, I will be much more likely to trust in it. So getting journalists to try your product or service can be a way of making a greater impact."
So why do some small firms shy away from seeking publicity? Many business owners feel they don't have the skills to promote their business. "Don't be scared to pick up the phone!" advises Hughes. "Editors and programme-makers need to fill pages and air time. They want interesting stories.
"There are a number of ways of engaging with the local media - organising events to which you invite relevant journalists, sending out press releases with photos and the old-fashioned lunch is still a winner. The aim should be to develop a long-term relationship."
It's vital to have something interesting to say, she adds. "It could be a human interest story, the creation of jobs, an environmental or creative innovation or a link with a charity or community cause."
Any PR strategy needs to be well thought-out, not a scattergun approach. "Small businesses need to be focused and pragmatic about their PR and how they obtain publicity. Any activity - whether it be an article, an interview or a Twitter campaign - needs to be consistent in its message and reinforce the image of the business.
It's also important to recognise that PR does have costs attached, in terms of time spent holding events and speaking to journalists. So there may be no such thing as free publicity, after all. However, it's clear that a little time and money spent on PR can reap great rewards for small firms.


I have found a teacher who would like to trade lessons with me. Meaning I will teach him an hour of English and in exchange he will teach me an hour of French. My question is: Is there a feature on the site where we can simply trade without having to purchase lessons from each other? Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thank you!

The San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California is a gateway into exploring contemporary and modern art. Located right in the bustling heart of Silicon Valley, the focus on innovation and pushing the boundaries is shared by both the local tech businesses and the art museum itself.
The museum has self-guided or guided tours available, as well as an on-site café and shop. Exhibitions change regularly and are on constant rotation to ensure visitors can always see different works from their impressive permanent collection, as well as a variety of changing exhibitions on loan from other galleries or artists in residence.
There are around 2,500 modern and contemporary artworks in the San Jose Museum of Art permanent collection. These date from classic photographs from the 1920s through to cutting age installations from 2010s and span a huge range of artistic media including paintings, installations, new media works, sculpture, ceramics, drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, videos and artists' books.
Much of the work is from artists of the United States West Coast and Pacific Rim area, lending a local flavor to a lot of the exhibits. The permanent collection of art also includes a lot of groundbreaking and significant new media pieces, which were purchased or donated to the Museum in order to expand its unique and varied collection. 95% of the works in the collection have been generously donated by artists or other interested parties.
For instance, Jennifer Steinkamp's digital animation Fly to Mars 1 (2004) is a projection that erases notions of viewer and object by constructing a completely immersive experience. The projection is of a tree, appearing hyper-animated and stubborn, who moves through a range of forms indicative of the four seasons while twisting and writhing. The exhibit's name comes from this strong-willed motion, as the tree seems to be attempting to leave the earth behind and fly to Mars.
Another new media piece of note is Catherine Wagner's Pomegranate Wall (2000). This exhibit uses MRI technology to create detailed images of fruit, and then displays them on ten light boxes with printed durations. The images shown are of pomegranates, which Wagner chose because she was fascinated by the dual meanings it has traditionally held. The fruit's internal cell-like structure intrigued Wagner due to its classical associations with both Christianity and fertility. The combination of medical technology and aesthetics also represents an observation on the fundamental cultural elements of art and science and the ways the two can interact in society.
Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen's The Listening Post (2002-2006) is another example of adventurous new media art, which is made of screen modules on support beams, connective wire, eight audio speakers and software. The masses of small screen modules display personal messages in a gently curved, immersive screen. Viewers are invited to read as many or as few of them as they wish, rendering it a space to truly listen to other people's thoughts with no way to influence them.
Doug Hall's installation Chrysopylae (2012) is a contemporary and fascinating example of video portraiture, providing a dynamic moving portrait of the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Hall went to great lengths to achieve the shots: He synched two HD cameras up in order to create a panoramic view of the structure, he climbed to the top of the bridge's towers and he took his cameras to sea to experience the bridge from below. The resulting 26 hours of footage is edited down into a 28 minute video that tells of the everyday and the immense, emphasizing the iconic grandeur of the bridge alongside the ordinary activities it hosts.
Memoria (2000), by Bill Viola, focuses rather somberly on the essence of humanity. As another striking work of new media, it consists of a DVD projected onto a silk screen, showcasing an intimate portrait of human suffering. The DVD plays a recording of a man in pain. Only his face is visible, flickering in and out of sight like a fleeting memory or half-forgotten dream. The work shows the universal plight of suffering, aiming to deeply affect its viewers as well as demonstrate the flow of emotions, such as the swell and dispersal of sadness and grief.
Within the collection are other works by artists which represent a large amount of schools and movements. There are five paintings by Fred Spratt from the abstract movement, all painted in the 1960s. They feature bright, almost geometric blocks of color evocative of landscapes but defying common meaning. From slightly later, there are also two paintings by Joan Brown. Her works, Simple Figure #2 (1974) and The Journey #1 (1976) show people: The former is vague and human-like, while the second clearly depicts a pair of young lovers striding determinedly across the image. Like Doug Hall, Brown also works to identify physical progression of time with internal journeys.
Other interesting items include six works by Chinese-born artist Hung Liu, four paintings and two prints using mixed media. Growing up in China during Mao's Chinese Cultural Revolution when many styles of art were outlawed as dissenting, her move to the US gave her room to experiment with styles and subjects she had previously avoided, allowing her to incorporate images produced by foreign tourists into her work. An active member during the zenith of the culture identity movements of the 1980s, her work looks at Western stereotypes and perceptions of China with a critical eye.
Eleven ceramic sculptures by David Gilhooly form an impressive collection which spans from the 1960s into the 1990s. The ceramics take on a variety of subject matters, from an edible-looking sampler of miniature frog food in #10 Sampler (1989), to a lazy and slightly misshapen feline in Cat (Sluggo) (1968). The comedy in Gilhooly's work is a breath of fresh air and a reminder that art can be many things – including light-hearted, self-parodying and even funny.
The San Jose Museum of Art was founded in 1969, at which time San Jose was still an agricultural community. In the intervening years, the city has changed into a central hub and tech sector that rewards diversity, flexibility and energy. In the same way, much of the art on show in the Museum aims to be innovative and groundbreaking. The collections have been focused on modern and contemporary art since the late 1980s, in order to be distinct from other galleries and museums in the Bay Area.
The original building was built as San Jose's post office in 1892, and it also served as the city's library before being bought by the Museum as its headquarters. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The "New Wing" was built in 1991 as the collection increased, in order to create more space to display the collection, and it comprises the majority of the Museum's exhibition space.
San Jose is a melting pot of cultures and adventurous spirit, and the Museum aims to reflect that through its collections, programs and study. The past and the present are connected through the exhibitions, and the West Coast is presented in context of the rest of the world. It is the premier modern and contemporary art museum in the Silicon Valley area, and aims to be a cultural hub for residents as well as a gathering place for thinkers, an oasis of calm for personal reflection and a source of exciting and vibrant content.
The San Jose Museum of Art is proud to be the largest provider of arts education in Santa Clara County. Programs are on offer for children, adults and families in order to teach people about the art of our time and the creative process of artists. To this end, there are a number of outreach programs in schools and special deals available for college courses and educators to work alongside the Museum.
Within the Museum's walls, guided and self-guided tours can offer education and insight. There are also reading areas where visitors can peruse material, and activities focused on making visitors themselves make art. Sometimes during vacation times, the SJMA runs art camps for children to teach them about creativity, critical thinking and collaboration, though these change by season and demand.
The San Jose Museum of Art is easily accessible by public transport as well as being close to plenty of car parking spaces. Visitors can take a 15 minute walk from the Caltrain Diridon station, or exit the light rail system at the Santa Clara Street stop for easy access.

Ponytail Palms (Beaucarnea recurvata) are slow growing plants. They are not a real tree or real palm, instead this plant belongs to Agave family and is succulent with a bulbous trunk and long narrow leaves, presented like upright ponytails. The slender ponytail leaves cascade from the top of the trunk giving the plant its ponytail name. Its common name the elephant foot tree is known because of its broad trunk base. The care needs of this plant are minimal and are inexpensive to buy which makes it a popular houseplant. The attractive ponytail plant kept indoors, makes the perfect plant for hiding an ugly corner.
Ponytail palms grown outdoors are very much achievable and they are surprisingly adaptable to any kind of sunlight. Careful attention is required when watering the plants. Overwatering can damage this succulent stemmed plant. The stored water in the trunk helps the plant to survive in sweltering hot dry conditions. When transplanting ponytail palms choose a well drained site, loosen the soil where you want to, plant and grow the Ponytail plant. Before deciding where to plant it, you must take into account the size of the plants will grow in further generations. Even though they are so small resembling a bonsai and slow growing initially. It will take many years of growth and maybe a lifetime before you see the flowering ponytail palm, with its magic flower clusters rising from the head of the plant. Normally in good conditions they will grow 12 inches a year. A mature fully grown ponytail palm can get to heights of 20 feet tall with a massive 15 feet girth around the base.
The growth rate is very slow grown indoors, fast draining soil such as cactus potting soil will help it reach its full growth ability each year. They will always grow much larger in their native habitat compared to growing them in your custody. It is wise to place them in a location with bright sunlight. Water the plant only when the surface of the soil is dry and less frequently during winter. It is necessary to re-pot the plant when its root system fills out the pot, this will help spur on the plant to produce a big strong palm.
To care for the ponytail palm correctly requires, for the plant to be pot bound before it is repotted. When repotting, use a pot which is a little more roomy than the earlier pot to replant in. When you use ample size pots, there are chances that you water them too much at once. This leads to damaging the root of the plant. Pull away the dead dying leaves as they brown off. Make it a chore to fertilise the Ponytail Palms twice yearly or every 4 months. You must be aware that excessive fertilisers can cause browning of the leaf tip. Small amounts of fertiliser is better used more often.
Overwatering of Ponytail Palms can cause the stem and the root to rot. If you restrict watering, the plant will cure the problem itself.
The leaves of the plant get attacked by spider mites. Use a soft sponge to foam up and use by rubbing the soapy water on the stems every so often will detach and prevent the attack of spider mites.
Ponytail Palm is usually a single stemmed plant and it is not advisable to prune the plant. However, you can remove the discoloured leaf tips using a sharp pair of scissors.
If you want to produce a plant with more heads to improve the aesthetic value of the plant, you need to prune the plant when the plant is less than 6 inches tall.
Making curved cuts in the main stem will force the new growth of branches.
Keep the plant in a humid free area after making the cut to prevent rotting of the stem. The stem first develops calluses and later will form the new shoot.
This plant can be propagated by using the suckers or pups. Baby suckers develop at the base of the trunk of the parent plant. By removing the sucker side shoots from the parent plant in spring will give you a separate plant to replant that is true to form, I am yet to try it.
Can you grow ponytail palms from cutting of extra branches?
You can definitely prune back the main truck on a mature ponytail to produce multiple heads.I have done it several times to large specimens around 4 meters tall with great success,it does take a while for them to shoot.
Hi Phil, yes your right then this will make two ponytail heads. We are talking about the little side shoots on the bottom of the main trunk, in my picture. If we cut them off can they be propagated to make roots on their own — well I have never tried it myself, I doubt it very much here in our climate, but if you live in Queensland anything is possible, you would have a better chance of this working. If you know for sure, please write back and let us know, happy gardening Christine.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona today welcomed the release of an 844-page bill, negotiated by a bipartisan group of key senators, that aims to make substantive changes to immigration laws.
Contact: Alessandra Soler, executive director, ACLU of Arizona, 602-773-6006 (office) or 602-301-3705 (cell)
PHOENIX – The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona today welcomed the release of an 844-page bill, negotiated by a bipartisan group of key senators, that aims to make substantive changes to immigration laws.
The following statement can be attributed to Alessandra Soler, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona:
"The ACLU of Arizona welcomes the federal immigration reform bill announced by the Senate Gang of 8. This historic bill has the potential to advance the civil rights and liberties of all Arizonans and set the stage for a roadmap to citizenship for the nearly 400,000 undocumented immigrants who currently live in our state.
While this legislation is an important first step, the ACLU of Arizona will continue to work to address threats to civil rights and liberties in the bill. The criminalization of migrant communities across Arizona due to local policies and state laws like SB 1070 continue to leave many vulnerable to detention and deportation.
Moving forward, we must ensure that individuals are not excluded from participating in this historic reform because of old or minor criminal offenses. This includes forgery and identity theft charges being aggressively pursued by Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery against immigrants rounded-up by Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies during worksite raids that have terrorized our communities since 2007. As a result of these aggressive policies of Sheriff Arpaio and Bill Montgomery, hundreds of immigrants have been arrested, detained and deported for simply working to provide for their families.
As the bill moves through the legislative process, the ACLU of Arizona will also continue to push back against proposals to increase wasteful border spending. Officials throughout the region have acknowledged that enforcement resources are already at record levels and border communities are at their safest. Immigration reform must ensure that human rights and due process are protected in the border region and that border officials are held accountable for their current operations."
Read the ACLU's framework for immigration reform with core principles, urging policymakers to include critical priorities in order to ensure people's civil rights and liberties are protected.

The Compass – Soft-spoken Bev Moore-Davis sends loud message about child abuse
At 17 years old, Bev Moore-Davis ran away from home.
This soft-spoken Georgetown, Conception Bay native hid some dark secrets from her past for many years. It wasn't until 2011 she began to tell the story of why she had to leave her home and family behind. Bev was a victim of child abuse. Although she is not specific on the type of child abuse she experienced as she talks with The Compass Nov. 1, she acknowledges that she speaks on all types, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
Bev is an entrepreneur and owns four businesses — three in St. Johns and one in Ottawa — under the Morvis Group of Companies banner. She also worked and lived for a period in Bay Roberts. She has also made a name for herself because of her involvement with introducing the issue of child abuse to the City of St. John's and also around the province. As a survivor of child abuse, Bev tells The Compass, she decided enough was enough. "A light bulb went off," she says. "People keep secrets (of child abuse) their whole lives. We are just hurting ourselves by not speaking out." It was that moment Bev began her three-year journey of advocacy on behalf of child abuse victims, and sharing her story so those affected would know they were not alone. "It's a life sentence," she explains. "We suffer as our perpetrators are free. By showing others affected that I can do it, I can help them (realize) they can too." The RCMP classifies child abuse as, "any form of physical, psychological, social, emotional or sexual maltreatment of a child whereby the survival, safety, self-esteem, growth and development of the child are endangered." Bev is getting more comfortable with sharing her story, but says it will never be easy. As an advocate for child abuse, Bev has networked with people all over the world to share the message because she is passionate that someday the word can be widespread. She explains people do not speak out — even in today's society — because of the repercussions it could cause, including being ousted to other family members, friends and members of the public. Other entrepreneurs, Bev continues, have confided in her about being victims of child abuse, but will not come forward because of the professional positions they hold, and the fear of how they would be viewed. She doesn't see it that way. Rather, she believes sharing her story and going public will help the cause, not hinder it.
Miles for smiles
This past April, an event called Miles for Smiles kicked off at Bowring Park in St. John's. Bev organized it. The event was not to raise money, she says, but rather to raise awareness. In fact, the entire event was run solely off company donations and contributions from Bev's companies. With the co-operation of the City of St. John's and the VOCM Cares foundation, the month of April was promoted as child abuse prevention month to coincide with the national awareness campaign of the same name. Hundreds of people showed up to the Miles for Smiles event in support of loved ones, and some even survivors themselves.
NLOWE Acknowledgment
Newfoundland and Labrador Organization for Women Entrepreneurs (NLOWE) held a gala at the Sheraton Hotel in St. John's Oct. 30. The event was to present female entrepreneurs with awards recognizing their success in business. Bev was one of the recipients. The NLOWE Community Impact award was awarded to Bev for her dedication to raising awareness of child abuse prevention and her self-motivated involvement to the cause. After seeing a short video of the winner — which can be seen herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M00MSSGDBVc — the audience at the gala heard a heartfelt speech from Bev. "This award, I accept for all survivors," she told the audience during the gala. "For all those that had their innocence stolen, for those who were raised being told — and you believing — you are not good enough (and) for those adults still struggling with those negative words as they have been cemented in our very foundation. I accept this for you." A standing ovation followed her address.
Continuous Support
Bev is currently transcribing her thoughts and experiences into a book. "I'm really putting myself out there," she says. She even wrote a chapter on emotional abuse, which is something many people she has encountered brush off as a less important form of abuse. On top of the Miles for Smiles and her book, Bev also organized a support group for those who have lived through child abuse. The group is called Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) where members meet to discuss their former experiences. Bev is very positive, and strives to one-day see a world with no child abuse. "Our society has come so far, but we still have a long way to go."

ANBAD had technical difficulties on Wednesday, and couldn't publish the Midweek Mixtape.
But a week without a petty jab at Alex James from Blur is a week without sunshine, and – as he has become the primary reason for the existence of this column now – I'm always happy to oblige.
Alex has found that he is, indeed, enjoying his new temporary home on Friday; and, moreover, is In Love with this day.
And yes, this preamble is all just a way of crow-barring a photo of him pouring cheese onto Robert Smith's disembodied head onto ANBAD.
FIRST! Another suggestion courtesy of long-time ANBAD Suggester Of Good Bands, photographer Gareth Hacking, who discovered Intensive Care on his travels, and like any good tourist, brought some of them home with him.
SECOND! Are Family Of The Year a new enough band or not for inclusion on ANBAD? Who cares, when they're making such lovely and admirably foul-mouthed folk songs like The Stairs? Ace.
FOURTH! Little Legend round out a RAWK-flavoured Mixtape – and how: Saints is top-notch by anyone's standards. Unabashed, gutsy and satisfying.

Since I had written a song for Dallin, it seemed appropriate to write a song for Sophie, who was also at her first Science Camp in 2015. Neat chord progression for the chorus, with a neat beat. Typical last word rhyming: quaint, faint, ain't, and saint. As I came up with the chord progression, I looked over and saw the poster Andrea framed for me of the Byzantine Deesis mosaic (1261) of Jesus in Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, which image is my theme for this work (see image for Psalm 002). The halo around Jesus made me think of Catholic saints, and so this was probably the first word as I looked for words that rhymed with it for the chorus. Then the name of the song became Saint Sophie. It ties to a beautiful little statue Rachel and Garrett gave us after their trip to Spain. They visited the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary, which is identified by some as the location of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth. Verse 1 talks about Sophie and Dallin starting Science Camp off right with their respective baptisms. The second verse talks about the baptism party in the park, and her Dad, Joshua Waldron, teaching the kids to shoot a gun at his company, Silencer Co. On Sunday morning we went to see Music and The Spoken Word at the Conference Center, and then went to the Utah Science Museum up above The University of Utah. Sophie was bugged by the boys when she tried to go to sleep. When we got to Boulder, Utah there was a rope between two trees at the American Indian Museum. Sophie was very good at walking between the trees on the rope (cable). She drove me crazy singing 99 bottles of milk on the wall. We went to Parowan Gap and saw a sun dial and a big rattlesnake. This song talks about shooting off bottle rockets, double rainbows and Aunt Sara's and Uncle Des' place, and our regular trip to the swimming pool. Is Sophie a saint? Yes! She is a Latter-Day Saint.

Can I pipe multiple users to this script ?
I see $MailboxName = $args, but still the Script takes the logged on user even after I run it with an email address as a parameter.
oops, the comment was meant to be for "Digging a little deeper to look to see if a mailbox is being used with the EWS Managed API and Powershell " script.
Great script. Is there a way to set the home page address for this new folder and make it the default view?
When attempting to run this, I get "Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel." Request failed.
New-MessageOps.MailboxFolder -p $ewsprofile -FolderPath "\\Inbox" -FolderName "newFolder123"
Glen - I have tried the script but cannot get it to work. I am using EWS 1.1 on Exchange 2010. I have amended the path to EWS but the script replies "Doesn't exist" "Folder created" without creating the folder? There are no error messages. Am I missing something?
It sounds like you maybe targeting the wrong mailbox. What if you run the script multiple times does it say the folder exists on the second run? Have you tried using the module instead ?
... and it seems happy! And so am I!
Thanks for your time. Jon.
Jon, could you post your code? I'm close, but can't get mine to run.
Is there a way to search and, respectively, create sub-sub-folders in one go?
E.g. for searching I've tried using "Parent\Child", "Parent/Child" etc., but no joy, no search results are returned. (The folders do exist and I can find them with FindFolders() when used individually).
Not 100% sure i understand you can do a deep traversal search will will find all folders under one particular root. In regards to creating folders you need to create the parent first and obtain the EWSID to allow you to then create subs of that folder so you couldn't create parent and child in one go you would need multiple requests.
Glen, is there anyway after a folder has been created under the Inbox that you can extract the date / time of when it was created?
Getting the Deep FolderTraversal will show you the folders, but no date / time info exists there.
You need to use the PR_CREATION_TIME extended property which you should be able to include via a propertySet in you Deep Traversal.
Thanks for the script Glen!
I'm having trouble with 1.1 and Exchange 2010 SP1 as well. At first I was using my own email address and it kept erroring on the BIND command telling me my "object" doesn't exist. I finally took a break from that and moved on to automating it thinking maybe I was formatting the email wrong or something dumb like that. After implementing a TRY/CATCH so it would continue without error I noticed that the script was adding the folder for about 1/3 of my users.
Why would it error and say object not found on the other 2/3's of my users?
If you do this you should also update the line that tells it to go in the inbox.
I used this script with 2010 SP1 to create contacts folders and calendars for each user that we synch with a 3rd party solution. This gives us fully synched contacts.
Can EWS be used to create a folder in a user's archive mailbox? Thanks.

Video Privacy Protection Act Meets Spokeo - and Court Lets Case Continue
In the latest decision involving the application of the Video Privacy Protection Act to modern technology, a federal court in Massachusetts refused to dismiss a putative class action against the company behind the USA Today app.
In late 2013, Alexander Yershov downloaded and began using the USA Today app on his Android device. He sued the app manufacturer, Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc., alleging that each time he watched a video on the app, the company shared the unique identification number of his smartphone with Adobe Systems, Inc., a third-party data analytics company. This transfer of data constituted a violation of the VPPA, Yershov claimed, because the company disclosed his personally identifiable information (PII) without his consent.
Gannett moved to dismiss, first arguing that the information disclosed was not PII and that Yershov was not a "subscriber" as defined by the statute, because the download and use of the app were free. U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV agreed, but the First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed on both issues.
On remand, Gannett argued that Yershov lacked standing to bring suit, relying upon the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins to assert that the plaintiff failed to allege he suffered a concrete injury sufficient to establish standing. This time, Judge Saylor sided with the plaintiff.
While the justices made clear in Spokeo that "a bare procedural violation, divorced from any concrete harm," would not satisfy the injury-in-fact requirement, Yershov's claim of VPPA violations was more than that, the court said. "Here, the complaint alleges an intangible harm: the invasion of Yershov's privacy interest in his video-viewing history."
Both historical precedents and the judgment of Congress played important roles in this conclusion, the court explained. By enacting the VPPA, lawmakers "elevated an otherwise non-actionable invasion of privacy into a concrete, legally cognizable injury," and English law has long recognized the right to privacy in personal information, particularly information in compilations.
"[T]he VPPA 'plainly' provides plaintiffs like Yershov, who allege wrongful disclosure of their PII, with standing and a right to relief," Judge Saylor wrote, citing a Third Circuit decision that reached a similar conclusion for support. "The intangible harm allegedly suffered by Yershov from Gannett's alleged disclosure of his PII is a concrete injury in fact."
To read the memorandum and order in Yershov v. Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc., click here.
Why it matters: Courts across the country have struggled to apply the VPPA, adopted in 1988, to 21st-century technology. The First Circuit's opinion finding that Yershov was a "subscriber" for purposes of the statute created a circuit split on the issue, with contrary authority from the Eleventh Circuit and several district courts. In this plaintiff-friendly ruling, the district court found that a statutory violation occurred and the invasion of a consumer's privacy was sufficient to meet the injury-in-fact requirements of Spokeo and Article III.

While our Board of Directors is responsible for our decisions and assumes overall legal responsibility for the corporation, a Resident Advisory Network is destined to engage the broader community and help direct these Directors. To help facilitate this 'direction,' the Resident Advisory Network's coordinator has an ex-officio seat on the Board of Directors.
We're in an era of rapid change in networking technologies and techniques. Today (January 2009) the following are the social networks where we have, or are in the process of establishing, accounts. These inform and feed into our blog, web, and wiki sites.
Supporters, keep us appraised of new developments in these arenas. And should you have the opportunity to contribute to or help oversee one of these 'feeders,' do step up.
To function optimally, Connecting.nyc Inc. (CnI) must operate in a manner that is open, transparent, and responsive to the community. Aware of foibles and inclinations that limit and narrow explorations and opinions, CnI created a Resident Advisory Network (RAN) to provide broad access to our deliberations and decision-making processes.
With this wiki our primary public channel, it's relatively easy to graffiti a complaint on the front page (that's direct access!). Our Advisory Network, as conduit of opinions, is the front line in avoiding the need for such drastic measure.
A process to reach out and locate opportunities and concerns is vital to Connecting.nyc Inc.'s success, and indeed the success of the city itself.
We expect that the future of .nyc will be noted first within the Resident Advisory Network, and after deep deliberation, be passed on to the board of directors for formal ratification.
The following are members of our Resident Advisory Network.
While called the Resident Advisory Network, membership is open to all those interested in creating a better city - current and former residents and New York City wannabes alike.
A commitment to engage with the issues before the Advisory Network on a regular basis and agreement with a transparency statement about openness about areas in which one has a self interest are the minimum criteria. To join, email your interest areas and expertise you might bring to the RAN's work to tom@connectingnyc.org.
The initiative and active engagement of Hannah Kopelman enabled the creation of the initial RAN. The selection process for RAN's future coordinators is under discussion.

The Sheep Handler - Auto Weigh Crutch and Dag sheep handlers have been designed to save farmers time, money and back breaking work.
Entry to the handler is controlled with an adjustable ramp clamp. This restrains the animal waiting to enter the handler, reducing animals backing up before the unit. This also allows two operators to work on the machine at one time.
Once on the handler, the unique top clamping system ensures sheep are well restrained and stopped from sitting down. Sheep can then be rolled on their side via the air switch - allowing for full access to the animal for crutching and animal inspection. The belly crutch mechanism gives further access to the animal and the ability to full belly crutch. Operated with a weigh scale - automatic weighing, drafting and catching is activated by adjustable (magic eye) sensors, ensuring the animal is caught in desired position for required task. This leaves the operator free to supply sheep to the unit. The remote control lets the operator control the machine if an individual sheep needs additional attention during drafting sessions.
Air controlled. Rolls sheep on their side for dagging and crutching - throughput between 80-150 sheep per hour.
Automatic weighing and 3 way drafting – throughput between 500-800 sheep per hour; Rubber lined floor and sides; Adjustable entry ramp; Entry shut off gate; Overhead clamp; Rollover function for open access to feet and belly; Remote control included; Dimensions 4700mm length x 1640mm wide.

Police at the Funeral
Agatha Christie called her 'a shining light'. Have you discovered Margery Allingham, the 'true queen' of the classic murder mystery?
Margery Allingham was born in London in 1904. She sold her first story at age 8 and published her first novel before turning 20. She married the artist, journalist and editor Philip Youngman Carter in 1927. In 1928 Allingham published her first detective story, The White Cottage Mystery, and the following year, in The Crime at Black Dudley, she introduced the detective who was to become the hallmark of her sophisticated crime novels and murder mysteries - Albert Campion. Famous for her London thrillers, such as Hide My Eyes and The Tiger in the Smoke, Margery Allingham has been compared to Dickens in her evocation of the city's shady underworld. Acclaimed by crime novelists such as P.D. James, Allingham is counted alongside Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie and Gladys Mitchell as a pre-eminent Golden Age crime writer. Margery Allingham died in 1966.

Hezbollah chief: Middle East could 'explode'
Hassan Nasrallah cautions the West to stop "crazy Israeli extremists."
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during a speech, Jan. 3, 2023. Credit: Screenshot/Al-Manar.
(January 3, 2023 / JNS) Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned on Tuesday of consequences for Israeli Cabinet member Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit to Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
In televised remarks on the third anniversary of the U.S.'s assassination in Iraq of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, Nasrallah said National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit could cause the volatile situation in the Middle East to "explode."
Rumors of Nasrallah's ill health have been circling after a speech he planned to deliver on Friday was postponed due to illness. The Lebanese terror leader had contracted the flu, according to Hezbollah's media office.
On Tuesday, Nasrallah, 62, said that he is feeling better, claiming a long-standing sensitivity in his windpipe contributed to his illness.
He deemed the new Israeli government "corrupt" and "extremist" and said it was directing itself to a "very dangerous point" with its policies in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
"The desecration of the Muslim and Christian sanctities in Palestine will not only explode the situation…but could actually cause an explosion in the whole region," said Nasrallah, making claims similar to those on past occasions. "Our people will not accept such a violation."
He cautioned Western countries to stop "crazy extremist Israelis" if they do not want another war in the region. "We are awake, alert and ready. We will not allow any change to the rules of deterrence in Lebanon," Nasrallah said.

LGBT History Month is an annual month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements. It was founded in 1994 by Missouri high-school history teacher Rodney Wilson. LGBT History Month provides role models, builds community, and represents a civil rights statement about the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. As of 2020, LGBT History Month is a month-long celebration that is specific to Hungary, United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Greenland, and the city of Berlin.
In the United States, Canada, and Australia, it is celebrated in October to coincide with National Coming Out Day on October 11 and to commemorate the first and second marches on Washington in 1979 and 1987 for LGBT rights. In Hungary and United Kingdom, it is observed during February. In United Kingdom, this coincides with a major celebration of the 2003 abolition of Section 28. In Berlin, it is known as Queer History Month and is celebrated in May.

To automatically accept minions based on certain characteristics, e.g. the uuid you can specify certain grain values on the salt master. Minions with matching grains will have their keys automatically accepted.
The master is now setup to accept minions with either of the two specified uuids. Multiple values must always be written into separate lines. Lines starting with a # are ignored.
Now you should be able to start salt-minion and run salt-call state.apply or any other salt commands that require master authentication.
