Cisco and NetApp on Thursday announced an expanded partnership to deliver new converged infrastructure innovation to unify branch office, data center and public cloud infrastructures under the FlexPod architecture. The partnership expansion includes efforts in technology integration, solution development, and continued go-to-market collaboration -- all designed to make it easier for customers to deploy and access next-generation cloud infrastructure solutions.
Current IT architectures comprise a fragmented combination of infrastructure along with public, private and hybrid clouds offered by different organizations and addressing distinct customer needs. Through a shared vision of a unified data center, Cisco and NetApp offer the ability to simplify deployment, management and orchestration -- connecting enterprise clouds to service providers, enterprises to branch offices, consumers to enterprises, and clouds to clouds.
Deeper integration across computing, networking, storage and orchestration components of FlexPod, combined with broader support for its open ecosystem of partners, will greatly simplify data center deployment and management, deliver greater budget efficiency, reduce risk, and increase agile business responsiveness.
Cisco and NetApp now boast more than 2,100 FlexPod customers across more than 35 countries and over 700 channel partners. Cisco and NetApp are building on this momentum by expanding their successful decade-long partnership to deliver greater innovation.
Deeper FlexPod Architecture Integration: Cisco and NetApp are forging deeper integration across Cisco(R) Unified Data Center solutions, NetApp FAS Storage Systems, and FlexPod ecosystem technology partners to create a common foundation for data centers and service providers, from branch office implementations to cloud-scale, multi-data center deployments.
FlexPod solutions will provide the ability to manage up to 10,000 servers, allowing organizations to aggregate several FlexPod racks and enable multihop Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCOE). These solutions, tuned for service providers and distributed enterprises, enable infrastructures to be scaled with predictive performance and support.
FlexPod continues to lead on the integration of infrastructure management tools and will support Cisco UCS(R) Manager 2.1, UCS Central and Cisco's recently acquired Cloupia products. In addition, support for Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (Cisco IAC) allows cloud management solutions for FlexPod customers. Deeper integration across FlexPod at the platform level, as opposed to at the component level, will enable FlexPod to be seamlessly orchestrated by partner solutions, including Microsoft System Center and Citrix CloudPlatform powered by Apache CloudStack
Cisco and NetApp will also integrate Flash technologies at the host and storage levels, to accelerate performance across all areas of theconverged infrastructure. At the server level, applications running on Flash-optimized Cisco Unified Computing System(TM) (Cisco UCS)servers can be further accelerated with NetApp Flash Accel, while at the controller and array levels, technologies such as NetApp Flash Cache and Flash Pools can be used to access cached data faster.
FlexPod for Cloud Service Providers: To accelerate momentum in the service provider market Cisco and NetApp are developing flexible, massively scalable FlexPod solutions capable of handling multi-data-center service provider architectures. The set of solutions will bring together NetApp Clustered ONTAP(TM) and NetApp FAS storage systems with Cisco UCS servers and Cisco Nexus(R) 7000 Series Switches to create dynamically provisioned pools of server, storage and network resources that can be scaled up and scaled down by service providers depending on application requirements. These solutions will use Cisco's Virtualized Multiservice Data Center (VMDC) architecture and will include management and orchestration solutions from Cisco and from ecosystem partners such as BMC Software and, in the future, from open source providers.
Branch Office Solution: Cisco and NetApp are partnering to extend the capabilities of ExpressPod to meet the compute, network and storage needs of branch offices. ExpressPod shares a similar converged infrastructure approach as FlexPod, and as a result, it is ideally suited to branch office deployments with an easy upgrade path to FlexPod as the needs of the branch grow. This easy-to-deploy architecture can be configured to offer greater interoperability with the core organizational data center, enabling branch locations to take advantage of some of the biggest cost-saving trends in IT, such as virtualization and cloud computing. ExpressPod includes support for VMware vSphere(R) and will soon include support for Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V.
FlexPod Application Validation: Cisco and NetApp are expanding solution coverage to add more mission-critical applications and private cloud solutions for the datacenter. Mission critical solutions include Oracle Database and applications, SAP(R) BusinessObjects(TM) business intelligence and the SAP HANA(R) platform, and private cloud offerings include Microsoft private cloud and Citrix Cloud Platform.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas.

Great sex does more than blow your mind—it's good for your heart, your head and your beauty.
A recent Tommy Hilfiger ad featured his usual bevy of sun-kisssed all-Americans with dirty blond hair of the Gisele variety, but one lovely lady with shoulder-length pink hair was thrown into the mix.
Similar scenarios abounded this fall 2014 New York Fashion Week, where girls with unnaturally pretty hair dominated the runway. Natalie Westling's shocking red hair made a statement at Prabal Gurung and Rodarte's muse Chloe Norgaard revealed she uses a combination of Colour Jamz and Manic Panic to create her special lavender-pink hue.
The look feels particularly fresh and current when paired with simple makeup and minimalist clothes. We're inspired by the three pastel "real girls" who are featured throughout the article, and particularly fell for the icy lavender bowl cut variation. Unusual tresses paired with monochromatic clothes and a bold lip gives the look modernity and elegance.
This look isn't only fun; it's also fairly non-committal. Pastel tints don't usually keep for more than three weeks, and they're easily applied at home. Itching to try it out? We grilled a few of our favorite colorists—Meg Hartigan-Sanchez from the Marie Robinson Salon in New York City and Emily Owen of Dyer+Posta in Atlanta—for their best tips and tricks on how to get and keep the elusive pastel of your dreams. Here's what they had to say.
1. Start Off With White Hair
The trick to achieving a true pastel shade is to start off with white hair, says Hartigan-Sanchez. Whether you are working from a double process or just a few pieces of hair, it needs to be lifted to snow white, past the yellow stage of blonde, or the pastel color will appear darker. For this step, we strongly suggest you visit a blonding specialist.
2. Choose Your Pastel
Manic Panic now makes a "pastelizer" which can be mixed with any of their colors to cut them down and make them read much softer on the hair. Their Virgin Snow toner can also be mixed with their color to dilute it. "I often cut funky colors with lots of conditioner mixed in to help make it as pastel as possible," says Hartigan-Sanchez. "I recommend doing a test strand to find the right balance of pigment." While Manic Panic seems to dominate the arsenals of do-it-yourselfers, there is also a line by Pravana Haircare called ChromaSilks Pastels that offers a professional level of pastelizing. The Pastel formulas can be mixed with the company's Vivids collection to create more intense but still soft shades; for instance, mixing the Pastel Too Cute Coral with the Vivid's Orange would arrive at a bright melon shade.
3. Seal Your Shade
These types of semi-permanent dyes typically fade each time you shampoo, so Hartigan-Sanchez suggests trying this old-school trick to make them more permanent: Rinse with equal parts vinegar and water after you've achieved your desired shade.

One of the things it says that Jesus had to start speaking from the cradle to save his mother from getting stoned. That is so wrong, no one was going to stone her, unless her husband Joseph told the people it wasn't he who got her pregnant. Author AlMujadyla (4 years) @Ammyai The Quran does not say at all that Mary (or Maryam as know in Arabic) was going to be stoned.

Three days ago, the world was rocked by the Instagrammic revelation that one DeShawn Stevenson of the Brooklyn Nets has what appears to be an ATM in his kitchen. Now, TMZ has finally gotten to the bottom of the mystery of why anyone would possibly want an actual, dive bar-worthy ATM in his house. The short answer:… » 6/01/12 2:45pm 6/01/12 2:45pm
It is the God-given right of any stinking rich American to own and possess all types of weird things, but we've never seen what appears to be a working ATM in someone's kitchen before. Maybe this is Nets forward DeShawn Stevenson's early retirement plan, living off the $2 transaction fees from family members and house… » 5/29/12 11:00pm 5/29/12 11:00pm
This one was executed so perfectly, it's almost as if the Nets drew up this double alley-oop in the first quarter of a win over the Mavericks. While it's not the first one we've seen this season, DeShawn Stevenson to MarShon Brooks to Kris Humphries certainly breaks the record for most capital letters in the first… » 2/29/12 10:55am 2/29/12 10:55am
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Stevenson maintains he would have passed a Breathalyzer. » 6/20/11 3:10pm 6/20/11 3:10pm
DeShawn's first public appearance since his first public intoxication arrest on Tuesday night was perfect: he stepped to his interview with a Soulja Boy song as backdrop (his partner in the forgettable DeShawn/Soulja vs. LeBron/Hova beef), threw up a three-goggles sign, smiled dazedly out at the crowd, sounded… » 6/16/11 3:40pm 6/16/11 3:40pm
"Irving police said they were called to the Grand Venetian apartments about 10:30 p.m. local time Tuesday to check out a report of an intoxicated person walking in the area. They found [Mavs forward DeShawn] Stevenson, who does not live there, and he did not appear to know where he was." [ESPN] » 6/15/11 12:35pm 6/15/11 12:35pm

DeShawn Stevenson gave over valuable ankle tape space, and fans brought signs reading "Free Gil" for today's game. It's the only evidence in the building he ever existed. We've always been at war with Eastasia. » 1/10/10 7:00pm 1/10/10 7:00pm
The Wizards guard spent the offseason getting a bizarre Abraham Lincoln tattoo on his neck. (It's like redefining the "neckbeard.") He also got a backward Pirates logo on his face. I'm sure it made sense at the time. [WashTimes/TruthAboutIt] » 9/29/09 1:30pm 9/29/09 1:30pm
"DeShawn Stevenson moved closer, toward the image of Darryl C. Stevenson. He looked for a resemblance, but the mug shot disappeared too quickly." [Washington Post] » 1/25/09 1:30pm 1/25/09 1:30pm
There are several possible explanations as to why DeShawn Stevenson was wearing a Michael Vick jersey and an Atlanta Falcons' hat at a Cleveland hotel before Game 5 of the playoffs. Somewhat likely: It's a statement against his least favorite movie, Turner and Hooch. Most likely: His OJ Simpson jersey was in the wash. » 4/30/08 11:15am 4/30/08 11:15am
DeShawn Stevenson will pay 10 large for a date with Lindsay Lohan. It says so right there on his MySpace page. So it must be true! [The Big Lead] » 10/18/07 12:25pm 10/18/07 12:25pm

It's still early, and many more details are yet to come, but according to WESH in Orlando, an NBA player was shot early this morning at the home of Washington Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson. » 8/20/07 11:37am 8/20/07 11:37am
From time to time, you'll hear about a ridiculous bet that NBA players make during practice... something like putting a couple grand on a halfcourt shooting contest. And I always think, "Man I'd love to watch something like that." » 2/03/07 2:00pm 2/03/07 2:00pm

We check into the Jr jacuzzi room for what was supposed to be a 3 day getaway. The inn and room appeared to be nice except the bathroom which was extremely small.
After adjusting the air conditioning we began to unpack. We noted that the air conditioning was not working. The compressor was not turning on.
Here is where our horror began. We called maintenance,
and the supervisor told us that the air conditioning was working properly, that we were not patient and just wanted something for nothing.
The room temperature was 89.
Then a real maintenance worker Came and tested the unit.he determined that the unit was broke, they replace the entire unit with a new one.
We left the room for 3 hours to have it cool.( it was raining heavy and we were walking around because the room was intolerable)
When be returned the temperature was still 89.
we spoke to the manager Jim, who said we were doing nothing but complaining. He threatened to throw Us out of the hotel.
He rambled on the phone for 30 minutes till he agreed to send maintenance back. All this time without ever coming to the room.
When maintenance finally arrived they also determined that this new unit was not working either.
Jim finally apologized and agreed to put us up in another room. now we are re packing and moving to the new room.we finally got situated at 10 p.m.
exhausted, we decided to call it a night. The next morning we receive a message from Jim saying Old room was ready. We must move again. Obviously,this was not what we anticipated. We were ready to go to the beach. Now we have to move again.I requested he leave us where we were but he refused saying that the room was rented.
With with this news I decided to leave the hotel.. Gathered my belongings and went to the front desk. Jim adjusted my bill $00, but no further apologies nor consideration for what we've been through. Customer relations for this hotel Are in need of new staffing. They were horrible and we are not in good health. We are not teens trying to mess with the hotel or get something for free. just A couple in our golden years trying to enjoy a few days away on the beach.
I fully understand thaT units can break but accommodate your guests not torture them...
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

As Moviehole exclusively reported last year, "Major League" writer/director David S.Ward is planning to reunite the cast of the 1989 sports comedy for a new sequel. Ward told us he had spoken to Charlie Sheen about it.
Sheen has confirmed Ward's claims that the film is in the works, but says unless someone writes him a fat cheque you won't be seeing Ricky 'Wild Thing' Vaughn in the new film.
"Well you know I'd like to (star in another Major League film) but you might want to flood Morgan Creek (production company) with letters and an angry mob with burning torches because they don't seem to think I'm as valuable as I do." Charlie Sheen told a TMZ staffer in a live interview. "Everyone's on board but me, so it's on them."
Of course, Morgan Creek's going to come to the party and cough up the dollars – a "Major League" film without Charlie Sheen is well, er, "Major League : Back in the Minors" with Scott Bakula.
Ward told Moviehole last year that Sheen was very keen to do the movie – but obviously not keen enough.
"He's excited to do it if and when it happens. But he can't shoot it this year, because he's back doing Two-and-a-Half Men, but we could potentially shoot it next year – in his hiatus from the show."
Sucks for Ward if Sheen doesn't do it because the new film would have essentially centered around the troubled actor's character.
"It's 20 years later, and Wild Thing comes out of retirement to work with this 19-year-old player. We've actually got three new characters in the new film. And if the new film is popular, they could carry the franchise on."
But again, we need Sheen to hold the torch until that time comes.

Here is another vote for multiple set ups. I used to run a pair of 20" for forward trolling like the article said. I've also got a 56" for other applications. Each bag has it's own purpose. I would suggest the 2 bag trolling set up and a larger bag for all other applications.

Today I was out trying to get my kicker in order. 9.9 Suzuki 4 stroke on the back of a Lund 1800 Explorer. With the kicker running just fast enough to keep it from dying out, I can slow to 2mph (gps). I tossed out a 24" sock and slowed to 1.6-1.8. Pulled that in and put on the bigger sock (I think its 36, but maybe 40") and that only got me in the 1.0-1.2 range. These speeds were trolling with the wind, which was 5-7 mph. I'm thinking of doing a prop change and buying 2 bags and rigging them as shown on the Lindy site. Trolling in any greater of a wind and I'lll be back where I started. I can believe this boat wont slow down more......
If you have a relatively short run to your fishing grounds and can go slower to your fishing grounds, you can put a prop on your boat that is several inches lower in pitch than you are currently running. At the same time, go to as large diameter as will fit within the constraints of the motors cavitation plate. The large flat pitch prop disk will give you a slower speed, and will give you the ultimate in boat control. For example, if you are running a 15 pitch prop and go to a 10 pitch prop, you will likely decrease your trolling speed from 2 to about 1. You will also cut your top speed by about 1/3rd, and you will have to keep an eye on your tach to avoid over revving the motor. REW |
You nailed it. Yes, I have a set of these bag and use them all of the time. Simple and easy to use. There are quite a few trollers on the pro circuit that have used them as well with great success. In addition, if you only have a short run from your boat launch to fishing grounds and can stand to go more slowly, you can go to a much lower pitch prop than you normally use. Lets say that you normally run a 15 pitch prop and get 2 mph during a troll. If you go to a 10 pitch prop, you will be only trolling at about 1 mph during a troll at the same engine rpm. You will lose top speed, and you will have to keep an eye on the tach to prevent overrevving. But if slow trolling is your goal with little hassle, have a low pitched prop that you put on when trolling. http://www.yamahaoutboards.com/sites...%20T25-F60.pdf All of these props should fit on your motor. p.s. You don't need to use an expensive stainless prop for this use. A less expensive aluminum prop will work just fine. REW |

Celebrating Jim Beam's Birthday in the Birthplace of Bourbon
in Travel
In honor of Jim Beam's 150th birthday, wei took a trip to Clermont, Kentucky to tour the place where bourbon is born. We visited the Jim Beam distillery and warehouses and got an up close look - and taste - of the bourbon making process.
One of the highlights of the trip was meeting and interviewing Jim Beam Noe - great grandson of Jim Beam. For today's show we thought we'd play that interview for you. The Stillhouse was a little noisy and our audio quality is rough at times, but if you pour yourself a tall glass of bourbon, plop yourself down in a rocking chair, and give it a listen, you're going to want to hit the Bourbon Trail and pay tribute to Jim Beam yourself. Cheers!
Here's a link to some more pictures from our visit to Louisville and the distillery in Clermont.

Interview with Jim Ed Brown
Whether as a solo artist or in a duet with with Helen Cornelius, JIM ED BROWN never fails to make magic with a song. But, any discussion about the career of Jim Ed would have to begin with the years he spent singing with his sisters Maxine and Bonnie as The Browns. Recording together for well over a decade, the trio put together a catalouge that included "Lookin' Back To See," "I Heard The Bluebirds Sing," and their iconic 1959 crossover record "The Three Bells."
Looking back on that family blend of harmony that brought him to the dance, Jim Ed says his singing with his siblings never really had a beginning point. It was just something that always was a part of life, growing up in Sparkman, Arkansas. "We started singing when we were young kids. I lost my little brother when I was nine years old, and I remember he and I sang together. We would listen to Daddy's old battery operated radio. If it was a clear night, we might be able to pick up the Grand Ole Opry," he recalls.
Jim Ed's easy going nature and movie-star good looks led to a long career on television – with stints on his own The Country Place TV show in the early 1970s, Nashville On The Road, and You Can Be A Star – which helped launch many of Music City's greatest, including Linda Davis. Then, in 1976, fate – and Chet Atkins stepped in again. "Chet found this song, and gave it to Bob Ferguson – who was my producer at the time. It was a great song - 'I Don't Want To Have To Marry You.' I wanted to do it solo, but he wanted me to do it as a duet. He said he wanted me to cut it with Helen Cornelius."
Jim Ed Brown joins me on the show to talk about his music career and new album In Style Again.

Journal of Anatomy 208(1): 59-72. NAL Call Number: 447.8 J826 Abstract: Elephant limbs display unique morphological features which are related mainly to supporting the enormous body weight of the animal. In elephants, the knee joint plays important roles in weight bearing and locomotion, but anatomical data are sparse and lacking in functional analyses. In addition, the knee joint is affected frequently by arthrosis. Here we examined structures of the knee joint by means of standard anatomical techniques in eight African (Loxodonta africana) and three Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Furthermore, we performed radiography in five African and two Asian elephants and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in one African elephant. Macerated bones of 11 individuals (four African, seven Asian elephants) were measured with a pair of callipers to give standardized measurements of the articular parts. In one Asian and three African elephants, kinematic and functional analyses were carried out using a digitizer and according to the helical axis concept. Some peculiarities of healthy and arthrotic knee joints of elephants were compared with human knees. In contrast to those of other quadruped mammals, the knee joint of elephants displays an extended resting position. The femorotibial joint of elephants shows a high grade of congruency and the menisci are extremely narrow and thin. The four-bar mechanism of the cruciate ligaments exists also in the elephant. The main motion of the knee joint is extension-flexion with a range of motion of 142 degrees . In elephants, arthrotic alterations of the knee joint can lead to injury or loss of the cranial (anterior) cruciate ligament. Descriptors: knee joint, anatomy, morphological, biomechanical, weight bearing, locomotion, radiography, MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, arthrosis.
West, J.B., Z. Fu, A.P. Gaeth, and R.V. Short (2003). Fetal lung development in the elephant reflects the adaptations required for snorkeling in adult life. Respiratory Physiology and Neurobiology 138(2-3): 325-33. NAL Call Number: QP121.A1R4 Abstract: The adult elephant is unique among mammals in that the pleural membranes are thickened and the pleural cavity is obliterated by connective tissue. It has been suggested that this peculiar anatomy developed because the animal can snorkel at depth, and this behavior subjects the microvessels in the parietal pleura to a very large transmural pressure. To investigate the development of the parietal pleura, the thickness of the endothoracic fascia (ET) was measured in four fetal African elephants of approximate gestational age 111-130 days, and the appearances were compared with those in human, rabbit, rat and mouse fetuses of approximately the same stage of lung organogenesis. The mean thicknesses of ET in the elephant, human, rabbit, rat and mouse were 403, 53, 29, 27 and 37 microm, respectively. This very early development of a thick parietal pleura in the elephant fetus is consistent with the hypothesis of a long history of snorkeling in the elephant's putative aquatic ancestors.

As we reported back in January of this year, the media crush around normal girl about London, Kate Middleton, had reached a crescendo.
William expressed fears that Kate would suffer a mishap with the media dogging her every move.
Then, a few months later, the romance cooled as Wills was snapped with his hand on a girl's breast, and other allegations surfaced that the young royal was playing the field again.
Wills called for a break, and Kate backed off and resumed her normal life.
Now, the rumors are flying in British newspapers that it may be a classic case of "you don't miss your water, 'til your well runs dry."
Wills is said to be missing his Kate.
What I wrote back in January: If you are old enough to remember the "fairytale" that was Charles and Diana, their courtship, and pomp and circumstance filled nuptials that dominated the news in 1981, crowds upward of 600,000 people filled the streets of London to catch a glimpse of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on their wedding day.
Americans and Canadians stopped all work and were glued to the television, and the British got a holiday to enjoy the festivities.
Charles and Diana were married in beautiful St Paul's Cathedral before an invited congregation of 3,500, and an estimated television audience of 750 million worldwide, making it the most popular program ever broadcast. It was a breathtaking ceremony, and even the most anti-royal types were mesmerized by the spectacle of the British Monarch's steeped in tradition ceremony. No one does it like the English.
"A picture of Kate pointing at a camera and clearly saying 'sod off' is clearly worth more on world magazine markets than one of her walking sedately down a street," senior Times photographer Chris Harris said, reported the Herald Sun back in January.
Now, with rumors that the two may be reunited as a couple – the spotlight is once again on the girl who caught Wills eye years ago.
Kate Middleton's romance with Prince William broke up back in April, but according to the News of the World, Wills just may want Kate back.
Unnamed source told the News that William has been dining with Kate, again.
Earlier this month, News reported Kate and Wills "locked lips" at his Army barracks' party, allegedly "retiring" to William's private quarters.
As we said back then, the story is far from over.

Editors' Review
+iDisplay Desktop for Windows lets you add your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch as an extension of your desktop display for more viewing space. With this app, you can declutter your desktop viewing area while still being able to see all windows you need.
Installing iDisplay is a little bit complicated and takes some time. Depending on what you already have installed on your computer, you'll have to install one or two additional programs, so that the app runs properly. The app will also have to scan your display for compatibility, which can take between five and ten minutes to complete. Once that's done, however, the app runs automatically from the task bar in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. There is no Help file, which would be nice to have in the beginning, but once you get the hang of the app, it works seamlessly and intuitively. From the Settings menu, you can drag the images of connected screens to mirror your desired configuration, and then just use all additional screens as an extension of your desktop. The mouse will move from one screen to the other, and to move a window or icon, just drag and drop it in whatever location you'd like.
You do have to install the companion app on whatever device you want to use as your additional screen, and this costs $4.99, but you only have to purchase it once for all of the devices you want to add as long as they're on the same iTunes account. Overall, this app has nice features and an intuitive interface, so if you often find yourself wishing you had an extra screen it's a good program to try.
Publisher's Description

I have a 4 yr old, she only wets the bed at my house. she can go to her dads and to her grandma's house and NOT wet the bed, WHY does she only do it at my house? I don't give her nothing to drink after 7 pm and her bed time is 9 pm. Please, help me and I don't know what to do any more.
Hi! I'm Dawn Meehan with the GoodNites NiteLite® Panel. I understand how frustrated you must feel, but let me first assure you that you aren't doing anything wrong. It's possible she's more comfortable at your house (especially if she spends most of her time there) and thus sleeps more deeply when she's there, not waking up when she needs to urinate. She might be more afraid of having an accident at other houses and that nervousness may keep her from sleeping too soundly. Whatever the cause is, know that it's very, very common for a 4-year-old to wet the bed. As her body matures a little more, she's sure to outgrow the bed wetting altogether. In the meantime, don't make a big deal over nighttime accidents. They're a common part of growing up. Keep her dry and comfortable with GoodNites® Underwear so she can get a good night's rest. And don't take it personally that she only seems to have bedwetting accidents at your house.
The five C's - caffeine, carbonation, citrus, chocolate & extra vitamin C - can contribute to bedwetting.

Briare Canal Bridge : Michelin's recommendations
Built at the same time as the Eiffel Tower, this 1890 bridge allows a canal running lateral to the Loire to cross it and join the Briare canal. The metallic structure containing the canal is made up of plates held together by millions of rivets. It is 662m long, 11m wide (including the tow paths) and rests on 15 masonry piers built by the Eiffel company. It has a draught of 2.2m. Steps lead down to the level of the Loire, from where it is possible to admire this wonderful feat of engineering.
