Without quick problem resolution, information technology pros are very often the first to be blamed for slow application performance. A SolarWinds survey found that the lack of cross-silo visibility delays app problem resolution, hindering government information technology professionals from accomplishing their missions.

Nice exfoliator. Helps bring all the gunk in my skin to the surface to heal and clear my skin faster. it can be a little rough sometimes, just make sure to add enough water and rub slowly.
OH, and you can use this as a powder over fnd. too, i find it helps keep makeup on oily skin better. and it gives skin that soft focus look. the feeling of it on is a lil grainy but its not bad. Also great to brush your teeth with too, gets them super clean and helps whiten them.

i love this as a mask. i use 2 tablespoons of baking soda & 2 tablespoons of water. i would add lemon juice too sometimes for a brightening effect & to lighten up my acne scars. it should turn into a paste like consistency. At first i thought it was crazy because honestly, i never knew baking soda could do so much. i always thought it was just something you put in the fridge to keep it from smelling. but i use this as a mask to treat my acne. and i use this on top of my toothpaste 2 to 3 times a week for whitening my teeth :) I tried the mask itself out last night & honestly, it did treat some of my pimples i had that were 3D. it didn't completely diminish all my acne, but it does take time! and its a slow process, like every other skincare product you use. & also it is such a GREAT exfoliant. i notice my skin feels amazingly soft after the usage of this mask.
The only thing i would say is "bad" about this mask is that when you apply it. it does have a tendency to sting a little bit. but i only leave this on for about 10 minutes so it's not too unbaring. overall, this is a great mask for my acne prone skin :)

I love baking soda for household uses (like cleaning stainless appliances & bath/kitchen fixtures) but I tried using it as an exfoliant on my face and had pretty undesirable results. I would hope that someone might learn from my awful experience. The first time I used it, my face immediately felt and looked amazing. The next morning, my face looked and felt even better. I was really sold on this 'baking soda as an all-natural exfoliant' thing. I got excited about my awesome results (and perhaps a wee bit overzealous) and went ahead and did it the following night (skipping that night so as not to do it 2 days in a row). Well, the second time I used it, it kind of wrecked my face. I have good skin, and I take stringent care of it, but the baking soda just wreaked havoc on my poor face! Even though I did the exact same thing I had done before, for whatever reason it did not yield me positive results –– just the opposite. I was left with a 'burn' on the side of my mouth, which was this sort of red and slightly raised patch of skin that was extremely inflamed (painful and unsightly). That patch took about 4 days to fade to where it wasn't AS visible under concealer, but it remains irritated even still (this whole self-inflicted debacle I should explain occurred just about a week and a half ago to the day). That wasn't even the worst of it. About 3 days after it was healing, the patch 'morphed' into a cold sore. I know it was from the baking soda and the irritation it caused my skin, because I changed not a single other thing about my skin care routine (or my anything-else routine, for that matter; like diet, etc...that was/is all the same). My uncle is a dermatologist, and I called to ask him whether something like this was possible, because it has been a long time since I'd gotten a cold sore on my lip (like 4 or 5 yrs). He said that fatigue, stress, hormonal factors, and abrasion to the area/excessive irritation caused by weather extremities or any similar physical harshness can be causes of cold sores. I know it was the baking soda. The cold sore popped up in the form of 4 tiny blister sacs less than a millimeter away from the aforementioned irritated 'burn' patch from where I must've rubbed just a bit too hard, or for too long. I should also mention that I was VERY gentle when doing this. I barely touched the surface of my skin with my fingertips, in fact! I rubbed gently, in tiny circular movements, for less than 2 minutes. And this happened. I am currently recovering from the cold sore, as I type! Taking Famvir tabs (prescribed by my uncle, the derm I mentioned) and also applying Zovicar cream to my breakout every 3 hrs. Suffice to say that I learned my lesson, and will be sticking to using baking soda exclusively for household purposes from now on (which it is a superior product for; nothing cleans my stainless and sinks/tub like this, hence the stellar rating in case you were confused). But as far as for my face goes, never again.

I use baking soda as a no-poo hair recipe. I take about 2 tablespoons, mix it in a cup of warm water, maybe add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, saturate the scalp and massage in for a few minutes. After this process your hair and scalp should be clarified and clean. This is a cheap inexpensive method of 'shampooing', I love the fact that there are basically no unnatural chemicals being used, too.
Baking soda has about a trillion uses in one box. I use it to clean, cook, no-poo, mix with peroxide to brush teeth and mix with detergent for fresher clothing in the laundry. You can find a big box at WalMart for about $2

I use this 5/7 days of the week. I find it gentle enough to use alot and i need to exfolate to get rid of gunk on my face. I did clear up my acne, I have been using it for almost 2 months but its starting to get amune to it and not working as well. I'd certanly reccomend people to give this a go! who knows, it might work for you also.

Baking soda is one of the key ingredients in a homemade mask I apply twice a week. Mix in a clean bowl: 1 tsp honey, 1/8 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 2 tbsp of plain organic yogurt. It noticeably brightens my complexion!

Baking Soda is a great facial exfoliator. It has been recommended by many dermatologists. It's very mild and effective at making your skin feel baby smooth afterwards.
For those of you worried about pH balance: most dermatologists would tell you to balanced your pH with something acidic after using baking soda, since it is very alkaline. The very best and natural step after baking soda is Apple cider vinegar. Diluted with water (1/2, 1/4, 1/8), after baking soda exfoliation, you apply the apple cider vinegar diluted in water for 10 minutes or so. This brings up your skin's acidity.
This is how you properly use baking soda on your skin safely

HG! Every few months, I go back to regular shampoo and conditioner (Nexus, Biolage, Paul Mitchel), and after 1-2 weeks, I remember why I love the baking soda routine (the regular shampoos/conditioners make my hair so heavy and greasy). I do my own version of it that works great for me. I first do a diluted rinse of plain white vinegar, then I add about about 1/4 cup of baking soda in the bottom of a large drinking cup, add water to the top, and swish around. I pour this diluted baking soda mixture on over the white vinegar rinse (it bubbles nicely). I rinse it all out, and I then condition with about 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar diluted in the same large cup (sometimes I add some essential oil drops). Then I rinse. This is truly my favorite hair care routine!

I discovered baking soda as a facial scrub while reading Woman's World and I must say that I haven't bought a facial scrub since! It's very fine and I just mix it with my regular facial cleanser every other day. My skin has actually improved while using this which is a plus!!! In addition, it's nice to use this as the occasional tooth whitener!

This product gives my face a gentle exfoliation. I use everyday to scrub my face before sleep and it didn't irritate my skin. I have noticed an improvement in the brightness of my skin. However, it didn't do much to improve my acne-prone skin condition. I have also noticed, it lightened my bangs.
Edit: they change the formula for arms and hammer baking soda and the formula is so finely grind that it is no longer effective for exfoliating.

Email to the Community: Hurricane Sandy Preparations
Saturday, October 27, 2012
As many of you know, Hurricane Sandy has been moving up the coast over the past several days. The remnants of the storm will be in our region in a few days and will remain throughout the beginning of this week. Because of this, the College's Emergency Planning Committee met yesterday to discuss how we've prepared for the storm.
I want to encourage everyone to make their own preparations by planning for potential interruptions in power and transportation. Be sure your cell phones and other devices are fully charged, and secure any prescription medication and other personal items you may need to have on hand, such as flashlights and batteries. Back up your computer files! Off-campus students should also stock up on food and water supplies.
Dependent on storm conditions, New York City and the surrounding area may close subways due to potential flooding, and bridges due to high winds. If traveling, please be aware or this possibility.
The Emergency Planning Committee will continue to monitor the track of the storm over the next several days. If necessary, we will issue the latest information in the following ways:
- Email;
- Online updates on our website;
- In-person updates from the Security or Residence Life staff;
- or through the use of our Emergency Alert System;
In the event of a prolonged power outage, the College generator will provide power for most of lower campus allowing us to function pretty much as normal even if we lose power.
When the storm hits, please keep windows closed, and stay inside to avoid injury from falling branches, trees, or power lines. In case of an emergency, contact the Security Department at x7291.
Again, I must encourage you to stay on campus and indoors throughout the storm, but if for some reason you must leave campus before the storm, please tell a friend or staff member so that you will be accounted for.
For more information on emergency procedures, please see the below link:
Ken Geremia
Director of Security
ps - Oh, and if your parents happen to call or email, it may be because they're worried about you. Sorry if you find that annoying, but it's pretty much their main job as a parent, so call them back please!

Putting Radio 1's Hackney Weekend online
Sam Bailey
Interactive editor
Emeli Sande performing at Hackney Weekend
In my last blogpost, I promised to try to update the blog from backstage at Hackney Weekend. Well, it's finally here. And, I keep having to pinch myself a bit, as this event has been so long in the planning. Roughly nine months of my time, and much more for some other people.
I've attached a few photos from the BBC Interactive compound, to show what we're up to. The main thing we're focussed on from here, is live streaming. We have five stages, and a backstage feed, available to watch live on computer and on mobile.
It's not just a case of plugging a wire into a laptop. Before we even encode the streams for the web, we go through a process called Compliance. While we can't always prevent artists from using strong language in their performances, we work hard to warn the audience that it might happen, and to apologise if it does.
On site editing and compliance
The team on the right of this picture are complying, and the team on the left are then editing the performances into packages to publish as on-demand videos, which will be up for 30 days after the event. This video packages are sent back to a team working overnight shifts at Broadcasting House, uploading the videos so they are up as quickly as possible.
In previous years, we've encoded our live streams on site. This year, we're actually beaming the video signals back to BBC Television Centre, and our colleagues in BBC Sport in Salford are encoding them using the live streaming infrastructure that's all poised ready for the Olympics. Like all good boy scouts though, we are prepared for all eventualities, and have our backup laptops here, just in case.
Back up encoding laptops
There's loads of other experimental bits going on alongside our core offer. We have a 'best of' live stream going out on the Radio 1 YouTube channel and on Radio 1's Facebook page. We have a group of young Hackney journalists running a special Tumblr feed from out in the arena on their mobile phones. And Radio 1 TV is providing a backstage view, following the Radio 1 DJs around wherever they go.
I hope you're enjoying the coverage. I better crack on. I'll do another blog post next week, when the dust has settled.

Connect Samsung Galaxy Tab to TV/Monitor/Projector
One of the disadvantage from Galaxy Tab is it does`t have a HDMI port. From some people this port become very helpful to show their presentation with other device such as Monitor or projector or Television (i am sure it have a large screen).
For able to do this, you`ll need Samsung HDTV adapter.
Here`s some illustration how to assemble all of the items
- Connect HDMI cable to HDMI slot at monitor / TV
- Connect HDMI cable to HDTV adapter
- Connect Smasung Galaxy Tab 7+ charger to HDTV adapter
- Connect From HDTV adapter to Galaxy Tab 7 plus
Display on screen (on TV) has reduce from that we saw in Galaxy Tab. In Galaxy Tab P1000 + TV out it have some advantage on how it will show in TV.
In test to connect Galaxy Tab to Monitor or Projector that still using VGA port Using HDTV to VGA cable, The display doesn`t show up in Monitor / projector. So the best solution is find Monitor or projector that support HDMI.

Associated Press
BAGHDAD — Iraqi Shiites increasingly fear the Muslim sect and its holy sites could be targeted in neighboring Syria as the civil war there takes on increasingly sectarian overtones, and Iranian-backed militants are girding for violence in both countries, according to Shiite leaders and government officials.
The Iraqi concerns center on the role ultraconservative Sunnis might play in Syria should President Bashar Assad be forced from power, and on what they see as growing threats to the revered Sayyida Zainab mosque complex outside Damascus.
The golden-domed shrine is believed to house the grave of the Prophet Muhammad's granddaughter and is one of Shiite Islam's holiest sites. It was damaged in June when a suicide bomber blew up an explosives-packed van nearby, and Sunni hard-liners have threatened to destroy it since.
Many Iraqi Shiites are haunted by memories of the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in the Iraqi city of Samarra. That attack was blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq and set off years of retaliatory bloodshed between Sunni and Shiite extremists that left thousands of Iraqis dead and pushed the country to the brink of civil war.
"We have real concerns that the Samarra attacks will be repeated" at the Zainab shrine, said Saleh al-Haidari, the head of Iraq's Shiite endowment. "The retaliation could be huge and very violent."
Violence in Iraq, where the Shiite majority rose to power following the ouster of Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, has fallen sharply in recent years. There have been several major attacks on Shiite targets blamed on Sunni insurgents, but so far Shiite militants have not responded in force.
Iraqi officials fear the shift in Syria's power balance could change that.
An official in the Badr organization, a conservative Shiite bloc that is part of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's ruling coalition, said Shiite militant groups have acquired new advanced and heavy weapons and were gearing up for a fierce reaction if the Zainab shrine were hit. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
A Shiite militant who described himself as a member of the anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia said about 200 Iraqi fighters drawn from the ranks of various Shiite militias, including Asaib Ahl al-Haq and the Hezbollah Brigades, have made their way to Syria in order to protect shrines there.
Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia is also believed to be sending fighters to help the Assad regime, which is dominated by Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
The 42 year old militant, who agreed to be identified only by the nickname of Abu Zainab because the Mahdi Army is officially no longer supposed to be engaged in military activities, said the fighters are being supported by Iran and consider the defense of the holy sites to be a religious duty. "They are happy to do this," he said.
Iran has been providing logistical support and small arms to volunteer fighters guarding the shrine, the militant said.
Tehran has long denied supporting violence in Iraq, although it has seen its influence rise since American troops withdrew in December.
It is extremely difficult to independently verify the Iraqis' claims. Some officials downplayed the suggestion that Iraqi militia members had been formally sent to take up arms in Syria in recent months, though they suggested that Iraqi Shiite militants who had settled near the Zainab shrine prior to the Syrian uprising have stayed to defend the site.
Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the government is concerned that Shiite holy sites in Syria could be targeted.

Since there's nary a green finger between us – I'm hoping they'll grow when we turn our hands to gardening our own land – our best "gardening" is enjoyed in other ways. With wool, and cotton, and needles, and hooks, and books, and bikes, and tools, and paper, and pencils, and good food, and lovely company.
So, when a magnificent spring day burst forth, that's just what we did :-)
Out we went, soaking up that sun and warmth.
And when, at last, the air cooled and the sun dropped, we celebrated the day and the lovely "gardening" we'd enjoyed …
Have I mentioned how much I love spring!

If you told me you had a hell of the fight with the pally, 3 lowbies against one high level, and barely managed to beat him despite your disadvantage, then I would applaud the epic PvP. But fact is, if the guy had come back to his keyboard before you managed to kill him, you'd be dead in one hit. Fantastic PvP, really amazing. Please, tell me more of those stories of epic fights.

I never see a AAA mmo like that. Only when i see one, i will can say if a "hardcore" ffa pvp can or cant be successful. Archeage will be AAA but will not be so hardcore, althought its OWpvp will be slightly more hardocre than L2.

Wrong. I was in the UO early beta, 17+ years ago, I followed the game all the way to and past Trammel, and from the developer's own words, Trammel saved UO. People were leaving in droves for games like EQ or AC1, which were offering either 100% safe worlds or the choice between PvP and PvE. The player numbers were damatically dropping. And after Trammel was released, UO quickly went back to its initial population and then exceeded it big time, up to 250k players until early 2004 when it finally started to drop when faced to more and more true 3D MMORPGs.
I know it's the "wet dream" of some specific UO veterans to think UO was already fine before Trammel, but it's only a dream. When games without forced PvP were released, UO's population went down faster than an Alliance cruiser shot by the Death Star.

( that said, the way our interaction has decayed into hostility is a good example of why I've often found it had hard to play alongside PvPers - ribbing escalates into combativeness because the default interaction between players is not friendly; it's just not fun to be around )

Love PvP when I have a fair chance. A level 50 killing a level 15, i'm not a fan of. Or being killed while I'm attempting to kill 4 sabertooth tigers that have me at 30% life already, also not a fan of.
Age of Wushu does pvp right, with the entire game designed from the ground up for PvP. If it wasn't being run by one of the worst MMO publisher/studio's ever, I would still be playing it. But all of the PTW, nickle & dime charges, etc that goes on in the game drove me away.
The real problem is that most of the games made to be PVP from the ground up, are always made by horrible Dev's & studios. (See darkfall, age of wushu, etc)
MMO's that have great PvP, and were designed from the ground up to be 100% PvP oriented, with a studio that doesn't suck?

For FFA PvP to work, PvP death has to be balanced, so you dont lose too much and not too little so it does not matter if you die, and you need to get people a decent chance to get away from gankers.

And with the current budgets for games, investors want assured returns. CCP hit the right note, and maybe they can do it again with WoD.

Ok in AoW i wasn't as bad as Wow Quaz, but i think i was about 5 from 20 in terms of 1v1s, but still had fun, but again, not my primary option in game play...
This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game :) were of course your welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
UO added Trammel and people flocked to it in droves. It's one of the complaints that people have had about the game in the past; that it allowed for PvP by choice rather than Always On PvP.
Eve is indeed Always On PvP, but most or at least half the players do not participate in the PvP, instead hanging around in high security space. It's not an issue of loss, they can insure their stuff, they just don't want the space combat. So while Eve is always on PvP, it's not exactly always on PvP the same way that Mortal Online or say, Darkfall is always on PvP. WoW's PvP servers have less safe space than Eve.
L2 is the only straight up PvP MMORPG in the list. It is successful though, as far as I know.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

That's not a bad question, it just doesn't have any one answer for me. Lets do away with the bunching into specific groups when it obscures the true reason behind the disparities. I personally like my PVP with goals and tend to avoid mediocre fighting systems. That is, unless it feels more like a game of chance, not like a prediction based on stats. An example which might make me avoid PVP would be a poorly implemented duel system along with a concrete mathematical level/gear system which some find comfort in measuring skill with. I've been there and done that. Games should not make it so that all is a well documented calculation. Players do not need to know everything at first glance and should feel like they don't know what's next in a challenge. At the least, take away the ability to see health bars and compare statistics so people do not get complacent. Make it so that nothing is set in stone and they're away from their happy zones.
If the game was well thought out and the PVP is an integral part which ties to the rest of the games or has some gains vs losses, cheers. Else, there's nothing to drink to and I begin to question the reason for me to participate. My PVP needs one or several unknown factors included along with rewards that can be gained or lost based on every action taken not by one player but several, not a in a simple equation plus time sync but a long thought out strategy. At the least, the fighting has to have a twist to make it exciting. None of that mathematical bulls dung of the few, but the many. Fighting needs to have some obscurity and life/death feel to it.
At the least, politics and something with weight behind it such as the flow of currency and/or resources, something we may loose or gain. If the game system doesn't have anything worth while like a complex political faction or economical system tied to the pvp, I try to do without it since its probably not new. As some have said, most of us don't dislike PVP, we've just had enough where it doesn't excite us anymore. We're just past that stage in our gaming that we've seen a bit of everything and just want things to move forward, not backwards. PVP needs to evolve where we feel it's worth getting into.
The title of the thread is:
"Please, tell me why you hate PVP so much. I just don't understand."
Every post you have made has not said one word why you hate PvP. maplestone has been trying, subtly, to tell you this. You just cannot catch his hints.

Today with the sheer number of people the FFA PvP in UO would be a clusterfuck IMO.But who knows I may be wrong.

UO never get more than 300k subs. Eve spent almost a decade and get to only half a million. TOR, many considered a failure, hit 2M in a month.
And yet they are still around a decade or more later. SW:TOR almost collapsed before going F2P less than 1 year after release.

Nothing is til it is and even then you never know until its been.
It ruins the illusion that they are the uber hero of the entire game world when they get owned. It also snaps them back to who they might be IRL, that being not the best eva. I'm fine with it, I know Im not a great PVPer. I prefer to think of myself as a greatly annoying PVPer, a role that I embrace.

Same for the guy you just ganked when he was already fighting three mobs, and then camped the body of... he's a real person behind the screen, and there's a good chance that he's doing something much more important in his real life than being an ass to others in a game.

Ethan Dunbar, 9, a student at Johnsburg Central School, caught the largest rainbow trout (12") during the ADK Adventure Festival Kids' Fishing Tournament held Sunday, May 5 in North Creek. Forty children participated in the tournament. Prizes ranged from gummi worms to tackle boxes and bait buckets. The two top prize winners received Ugly Stick rod/reel combos. Both kids are pictured here with Johnsburg board member Peter Olesheski who attended the tournament with his two young sons. The rainbow trout were raised and stocked by the Warren County Fish Hatchery.

Introduction to Calendar Server 7
Sun Java System Calendar Server has been completely rewritten in version 7 to support CalDAV, the calendar access protocol standard. For a description of features and functionality, see What's New in Calendar Server 7. (Link not yet public.) For an overview of the differences between Calendar Server 6 and Calendar Server 7, see Calendar Server 6 and Calendar Server 7 Comparison and Coexistence.
Calendar Server Software Architecture
The following figure represents the software architecture of Calendar Server 7.
Calendar Server Software Architecture
Components of a Calendar Server Deployment
Clients and Servers
The Calendar Server deployment provides the repository for calendar and address book data, and also acts as a file storage. The main interface with the repository is the CalDAV protocol, which is based on HTTP. DAV clients can be running on end-user computers or on mobile devices, including:
- Thunderbird + Lightning extension (CalDAV)
- Apple iCal (CalDAV)
- Windows Explorer or Apple Finder (WebDAV)
The server also partially supports the legacy HTTP-based WCAP protocol for use by Convergence, Connector for Outlook, and Desktop Sync clients.
WCAP support, to enable support for clients such as Convergence and Connector for Outlook, is being planned for a future update.
The following figure shows the Calendar Server clients and components.
Calendar Server Components
Calendar Server supports only a subset of the legacy WCAP protocol, with no guarantee of backward compatibility. Additionally, Calendar Server supports the server-to-server iSchedule protocol, which means that it can also act as a client. Additional HTTP-based services exposed by the server include:
- Simple free/busy service
- Administrative browse UI
Finally, Calendar Server offers a JMX based interface to query and alter the repository. This interface is primarily used by the davadmin command-line utility but can also be used by standard clients, such as Jconsole, and by custom JMX clients, either locally or remotely.
User Repository
Data is organized within each Calendar Server repository by subject or by entity, that is, by LDAP user, resource, or group. Because the data can then further be organized by type of data, different data models can result, including the single repository model and the one repository per data-type model.
Single Repository Model
In the single repository model, each subject has one home collection (similar to UNIX home directory), which is the parent of all service-specific collections for that subject, including:
- Calendar collections
- Address book collections
- Generic file storage collections
For example, the following URLs represent a single repository for smith:
http://davserver.example.com/dav/home/smith/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/home/smith/MyDefaultCalendar/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/home/smith/SomeOtherCalendar/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/home/smith/MyDefaultAddressBook/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/home/smith/mypic.jpg
One Repository Per Data-Type Model
In the one repository per data-type model, each subject has one home collection per data type, for example:
- Calendar home collection
- Address book home collection
- Other collection
In that latter case, the different repositories can be distinguished by servers, for example:
http://calendar.example.com/dav/home/smith/ http://calendar.example.com/dav/home/smith/MyDefaultCalendar/ http://calendar.example.com/dav/home/smith/SomeOtherCalendar/ http://address.example.com/dav/home/smith/ http://address.example.com/dav/home/smith/MyDefaultAddressBook/ http://files.example.com/dav/home/smith/ http://files.example.com/dav/home/smith/mypic.jpg
Alternatively, the different repositories can be distinguished by name spaces, for example:
http://davserver.example.com/dav/calendar/smith/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/calendar/smith/MyDefaultCalendar/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/calendar/smith/SomeOtherCalendar/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/address/smith/ http://davserver.example.com/dav/address/smith/MyDefaultAddressBook/
Calendar Server 7 Front-End and Back-End Servers
In its default configuration, the Calendar Server 7 actually consists of two different components:
- Stateless J2EE based front end
- MySQL back end
You can locate both components on the same host or separate the components onto multiple hosts.
In a multiple-host deployment, a many-to-many relationship exists between front-end instances and back-end instances. Each front end has access to all the MySQL back ends. As a consequence, each front-end host has access to all users' data.
Multiple front ends can be grouped together, either by using a simple load balancer or by using the GlassFish Cluster functionality.
For session-based protocols (for example, WCAP), sessions are not synchronized among front-end hosts. The load balancer is responsible for ensuring that a particular session "sticks" to a particular front-end host.
What Is CalDAV and Why Use It?
CalDAV, also called Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV, is an Internet standard that enables client access to scheduling information on a remote calendar server. WebDAV, also called Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, is a set of extensions to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that enables users to collaboratively store, edit, and manage files on remote World Wide Web servers. The WebDAV protocol makes the web a readable and writable medium that enables users to create, change, and move documents on a remote server. This is useful for authoring the documents that a web server serves, but it can also be used for storing files on the web so that the files can be accessed from anywhere.
Until recently, the calendaring world has lacked any highly adopted standards. Different vendors have used their own proprietary protocols to coordinate their clients and servers. For example, previous versions of Sun Java System Calendar Server used the proprietary WCAP protocol.
CalDAV, described in RFC 4791, was approved as an IETF standard in March 2007. RFC 4791 and its extensions provide interoperable exchange of calendaring and scheduling information between all servers and clients conforming to these standards. The CalConnect group maintains a list of supported CalDAV clients.
By supporting CalDAV, calendaring solutions enable a wide spectrum of client choices as well as more flexibility for calendar synchronization solutions, including those offered by Notify and Synchronica.
CalDAV is supported in Calendar Server Version 7. CardDAV and WebDAV support might be provided in future releases.
Apr 23, 2009
Does anyone know of an alternative to the Lightning extension to be used in this instance?
Apr 23, 2009
Calendar Server 7 is not yet available for end-customer use or evaluation – so I don't understand your question. Once the product does become available you will be able to use CalDAV compatible clients such as Apple iCal as per:
Jun 05, 2009
How can I the HTTP based WCAP protocol for Outlook Connector ?
When I configure OC do I need to specify a server like: http://hostname:8080/davserver/wcap
Jun 05, 2009
Slated for a future release, not possible yet.

Gutierrez doesn't need luck for No. 7
CORPUS CHRISTI - It took longer than Robert Gutierrez anticipated to earn his record seventh Corpus Christi Regional Golden Gloves Boxing championship Saturday night at the American Bank Center Exhibit Hall.
The initial delay was caused by problems with the ring, when the top rung of the rope became dislodged twice before being repaired. The second obstruction was presented by Michael Garcia.
Still, Gutierrez prevailed against Garcia, winning the super heavyweight title at the 67th annual amateur boxing tournament.
"I was very confident. I was confident coming in," said Gutierrez, who will join eight other open-class fighters at the state tournament in Fort Worth March 3-6. "I worked hard this year. I lost about 30 pounds.
"I knew we had a couple guys coming in and I needed some competition going to state."
Garcia provided that. He went down in the first round, clutching his chest seemingly without sustaining a blow. Gutierrez dropped Garcia again in the second round, and Garcia barely rose in time from the 8-count from referee Ellis Johnson.
"I was really amazed. I took him lightly and, like they say, you never take anybody lightly," said Gutierrez, who fights out of the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association club. "I thought I'd knock him out. That's my anticipation. Two years ago I knocked him down and he didn't get up."
Garcia did this time. The Neighborhood Centers boxer was asked between rounds by his coach Richard Rodriguez if he wanted to quit. He didn't.
He started landing blows to Robert Gutierrez's head, exerting as much energy as possible.
Gutierrez, however, had a commanding lead on the scorecards and also posted a rally of his own, closing with a flurry of effective punches.
"Mike Garcia came in there and gave me some competition. I didn't think he was going to give it to me," Gutierrez said. "He hung in there. But I knew I was going back to Fort Worth. We'll see what happens this time."
His CCPOA coach, Ralph Davila, indicated this likely is Gutierrez's final chance at the state tournament.
"I'm just hoping that this year, if it's going to be his last year, for No. 7 that he wins state," Davila said.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but still I hope you can do a very little something for me. I painted this friesian horse for a contest and we need a little help from everyone that is able to help us. It's about a facebook horse racing game that I play, they have asked people to create a new design for a new horse they're going to add to the game. There are hundreds of all kinds of horses of all kinds of colours and shapes on the website but nobody has made such a beautiful thing as a friesian yet so I jumped right into it. We need every single vote we can get, we also joined quite late so there are some designs there that have hundreds of votes already. Anyway, here's the simple thing you have to do: you click "like" on this website Login | Facebook and that's it. I'm not sure about it but I think you must have a facebook account, so please, if you have one, could you do this for us? It will take only a few seconds (shouldn't be more than 10) if you have to log in before voting. Thank you so much!!
Also please don't get upset if you're not a fan of people going around asking others for help in competitions and stuff like that, I'm not here to make anyone angry or to bother someone, even if there was only a single person who could help us out I would appreciate it very many lots. And even if there won't be anyone willing to (or being able to) help, you can at least have a look

AP voters will decide harbor sale guidelines
Harbor Sale Vote
Ballot language
"Be it ordained by the City Council of the city of Aransas Pass,
Texas, that the sale of any property in and around Conn Brown Harbor
must be authorized and approved by a vote of the citizens of Aransas
Pass, Texas."
This is the second special election since the city began plans to develop Conn Brown Harbor. A controversial deal with Aransas Pass Development Group would have sold city land for $11 million. But the City Council now says the contract signed in October by then-mayor Jesus Galvan is void.
A group opposed to the sale petitioned for an election and successfully recalled Galvan and Mayor Pro Tem Dorothy Roberts on Nov. 4.
The group also petitioned for this election.
Alpha Covington, one of the residents behind the election, said today's vote is a chance for residents to keep the harbor under city control.
"Everybody wants to see it developed and cleaned up again, but we want to keep it part of the city," she said. "To think five people could sell off a big chunk of the city without having the people approving it is just unbelievable to me."
Covington said residents seemed more passionate about the recall election, which brought out 1,534 people, a record number of the town's 6,598 registered voters.
This time around, 560 people cast early ballots, compared with 862 who voted early in the recall election.
The group opposing the sale submitted petitions in August to put this ordinance to a vote, but the council failed to call an election. Because the council didn't act, the city charter required the issue go before voters during the next regular election - in May.
But resident Robert Herndon filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging it was violating his rights to vote because the ongoing deal to sell harbor land would be finalized before May. Visiting Judge Fred Shannon in November moved up the election to Dec. 16. He also ordered that the city could not enter into or execute any contract to sell city harbor land dated after Nov. 6 unless it includes a clause making it subject to the outcome of this election.
The group has posted signs around town in favor of the ordinance, but no organized opposition has formed.
Galvan and Roberts have filed suit alleging the recall election is invalid because it didn't fall on the closest uniform election date of Nov. 7. That case is pending.
Those arguments could be extended to this harbor election because this election, like the recall, is not on a uniform election date.

The Zoom A3 Pre-Amp & Effects for Acoustic Guitar lets you enhance the sound of your guitar to produce authentic tone when used with a personal amplification system. The A3 allows you to choose from 16 guitar body types to re-create the signatures sounds of differing body shapes. From the Dreadnought body setting, which generates a large tone full of rich low frequencies, to the Orchestra body setting, featuring an outstanding response and tonal balance, the A3 has the ability to remodel the sonic qualities of a wide range of unique body types.
The A3 accounts for the subtlest of differences between 28 of the world's most famous guitar models. The pedal accurately recreates the tone differences between guitars with the same body shape, but different bracing or wood from which they are made (spruce, mahogany, rosewood, and more).
The pre-amp is specifically designed for acoustic guitars and can be used with piezoelectric, magnetic and passive pickups. The A3 emphasizes on spatial effects, including chorus, delay and reverb, while offering over 40 acoustic guitar effects that augment the sound of your instrument.
- Presets for 16 body types and 28 models restore the original sonic characteristics of acoustic guitars that pickups cannot capture 1

In addition, the pedal's XLR-1/4" combination Mic input can provide phantom power to allow you to connect a microphone and mix its signal with that of your pickup via dedicated knobs to dial-in your sound.
- Over 40 acoustic guitar effects can enhance the sound of your instrument. Other effects include compressors that suppress input peaks and even out sound levels, air effects that simulate the feeling of space from room tone, detuning effects that create the sound of a 12-string guitars and much more. You can use up to two effects simultaneously and order them as you like.
- While keeping changes to your tone to a minimum, the Anti-feedback function quickly detects the frequency that is causing the feedback and applies a steep filter to that frequency band. Later, if feedback occurs due to another frequency, by simply hitting the footswitch again, the function can handle up to three problematic frequency ranges at once.
- Boost function can be used to reduce volume differences between finger-picking, chord strokes and other playing techniques, as well as to increase amplification during solos. The pedal can provide a clean boost of up to 12dB. The tone parameter adjusts the sound of the level increase when the boost is active.
- Acoustic remodeling, DI box, feedback suppression, a booster, an auto-chromatic tuner
- Front panel features three parameter knobs that also function as buttons. These buttons can be used to open various menus where you can then use the parameter knobs to tweak effect settings to your liking. Adjust the mix position of mic signal; turn the Autosave function on and off, recall patches and more with ease and efficiency.
- ZFX-IV DSP processor can execute sophisticated algorithms using 32-bit floating-point calculations. This processor renders real acoustic remodeling that restores different original tonal characteristics of a guitar according to its size, body shape and materials.
- Hold the footswitch down to activate the built-in chromatic tuner in an instant. Even on stage during a performance, all you need to do is move your foot to enable tuning. You can choose between a bypass mode that turns all the effects off and a mute mode that allows you to tune silently.
- Tap Tempo sets the tempo in real-time to the rhythm of a song as you play guitar. You can also use it to for delay times and modulation effect frequencies 2
- Patches to be recalled can be programmed and the order in which they appear. For example, you could select three patches-(A) Arpeggio, (B) Rhythm and (C) Solo - so that you can cycle through them each time you press the footswitch. You can create and save up to 10 original tones in this way.
- Balanced XLR output eliminates the use of DI boxes completely and directly connects the pedal to any mixing console to maintain a balanced, high quality signal. The ground switch can also be used to eliminate hum caused by ground loops.
- Piezoelectric pickups tend to capture high frequencies well, but are deficient at the low end and result in producing a thin sound. On the other hand, magnetic pickups are very effective at capturing low frequencies and produce more of an electric sound. The A3 has a pickup input compensation function that cancels the effect of frequency ranges that are lost or emphasized by the pickup. This feature processes the signal optimally according to the characteristics of each type of pickup. 3
- Stereo output jacks allow you to take advantage of chorus, reverb and other stereo spatial effects for your acoustic guitar, as well as use line connections for the direct recording of its powerful guitar sounds. In addition, the ability to directly connect headphones to your A3 lets you easily listen to your sound no matter where you are.
- Noise floor of 100dBm and signal-to-noise ratio of 120dB virtually eliminate background noise and the ZNR noise reduction removes feedback and other unwanted sounds, providing you with clear tones, along with natural release decay and reverb tails.
- Using four AA alkaline batteries, you can operate the A3 for up to eight hours continuously. Power the pedal via AC adapter (sold separately) or USB bus if you want to use it longer without worrying about battery life. 4
- When connected to your computer and Zoom's website via USB, you can perform system firmware updates to keep the functions of your A3 on the cutting-edge.

The process of applying for Federal financial aid begins with the completion of the Free Application For Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. The application requires that you enter a variety of personal information as well as the required financial information for yourself, and your parents, for those of you considered to be Dependent students. The FAFSA contains step-by-step instructions and we encourage you to take your time and, if you have questions, read the instructions very carefully. The following link will take you directly to the FAFSA webpage where you can begin the process.
It is important that you get the FAFSA done as soon as you have completed all of the required tax returns (yours and your parent's). There are various deadlines that you will want to meet to qualify for some of the outside funding that is available.

Product description
This eleventh collection of the antidote to panel games finds the late Humphrey Lyttelton giving regular panellists Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden silly things to do to - along with special guests Stephen Fry, Jack Dee, Rob Brydon and Jeremy Hardy. Highlights include 'One Song to the Tune of Another', '84 Chicken Cross Road', 'Sound Charades', 'Notes & Queries', 'Uxbridge English Dictionary', 'Tennis Chat-up Lines', 'Swanee Kazoo' and, of course, the brilliantly baffling, fiendishly funny 'Mornington Crescent'. So get ready to laugh out loud as Humph and the gang indulge in more wonderful wordplay, accompanied by Colin Sell on the piano and the lovely Samantha, who likes to sit on Humph's left hand. 'Risky, rude, brilliantly written and superbly performed' - The Judges, Sony Radio Academy Awards. 'This sublimely humorous "antidote to panel games" was one of the funniest things on the radio' - Bournemouth Daily Echo. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 36 mins.

Author information
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue was first broadcast on Radio 4 on Tuesday 11 April 1972, with a pilot edition which had been recorded in November 1971 under a working title of I'm Sorry They're At It Again. The panel consisted of the show's deviser, Graeme Garden, alongside Bill Oddie, Jo Kendall and Tim Brooke-Taylor. From the start, Clue's zany humour delighted listeners. Initial research revealed audience reactions such as 'teams were talented and amusing... an exceptionally fine quiz master - witty, relaxed and a good match for the teams.' One listener, however, complained that he 'hadn't a clue what it was all about' which, given the eventual title of the show, was perhaps an endorsement! The show's many years on air testify to its appeal, which owes much to the wit of the chairman, Humphrey Lyttelton. Humph, as he was affectionately known, was educated at Eton, and he trained at art college before joining the Daily Mail as a cartoonist. An ex-Grenadier Guardsman trumpeter, his reputation as a jazz player was legendary. The regular members of the panel - Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and, until his untimely death in December 1996, Willie Rushton - formed a perfect comic quartet. Tim and Graeme previously worked together on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, the forerunner of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, whilst Barry and Tim appeared together on radio and television in Hello Cheeky. Their wholehearted enthusiasm for such games as Tag Wrestling, Wuthering Hillocks and Cheddar Gorge ensures constant hilarity on the panel and in the studio audience. Of course, the best-known game of all is Mornington Crescent, whose rules have eluded and baffled listeners for years. Other highlights include the lovely Samantha, and Colin Sell at the piano - who, according to Humph, is about to complete his latest album: 'All he needs is the latest set of prints back from Snappy-Snaps...' Humphrey Lyttelton, broadcaster, musician, presenter and master of the double entendre, died on 25 April 2008. After a long and understandable break, Radio 4's antidote to panel games returned on 15 June 2009 for its 51st series. Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon took it in turns to keep some kind of order, as they chaired this new series without the much-missed Humph, and later the same year Jack Dee took over as the regular host. The Official Stage Tour also continued in 2009 without Humph, with Jack Dee, Rob Brydon and others sharing the chairman's role. I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012.
