Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated episodes of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts in which you react grossly out of proportion to the situation. Road rage, domestic abuse, throwing or breaking objects, or other temper tantrums may be signs of intermittent explosive disorder.
People with intermittent explosive disorder may attack others and their possessions, causing bodily injury and property damage. They may also injure themselves during an outburst. Later, people with intermittent explosive disorder may feel remorse, regret or embarrassment.
If you have intermittent explosive disorder, treatment may involve medications and psychotherapy to help you control your aggressive impulses.
Explosive eruptions, usually lasting less than 30 minutes, often result in verbal assaults, injuries and the deliberate destruction of property. These episodes may occur in clusters or be separated by weeks or months of nonaggression. In between explosive outbursts, the person may be irritable, impulsive, aggressive or angry.
Aggressive episodes may be preceded or accompanied by:
Depression, fatigue or relief may occur after the episode.
The exact cause of intermittent explosive disorder is unknown, but the disorder is probably caused by a number of environmental and biological factors.
People with other mental illnesses — such as mood, anxiety or personality disorders — or certain medical conditions — such as Parkinson's disease or traumatic brain injury — may display aggressive behaviors. However, they would not be diagnosed as having intermittent explosive disorder because the cause is from another condition.
A number of factors increase your risk of developing intermittent explosive disorder:
People with intermittent explosive disorder have an increased risk of:
If you're concerned because you're having repeated emotional outbursts, talk with your primary care doctor or make an appointment with someone who specializes in treating emotional disorders, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker.
These steps can help you make the most of your appointment:
Prepare a list of questions to make sure you cover everything that's important to you. For intermittent explosive disorder, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions anytime that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Be ready to answer them so you can focus on points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
To determine a diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder and eliminate other conditions that may be causing your symptoms, expect your doctor to do a:
To be diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder, your doctor will ask about your behavior to see if you meet the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
DSM criteria include:
Other conditions that must be ruled out before making a diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder include other mental disorders or substance use problems.
There's no one treatment that's best for everyone with intermittent explosive disorder. Treatment generally includes psychotherapy and medication.
Individual or group therapy sessions can be helpful. A commonly used type of therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people with intermittent explosive disorder identify which situations or behaviors may trigger an aggressive response. And, more importantly, this type of therapy teaches people how to manage anger and control inappropriate responses using techniques such as relaxation training, thinking differently about situations (cognitive restructuring) and learning coping skills.
Different types of drugs may help in the treatment of intermittent explosive disorder. These medications include:
If you recognize your own behavior in the description of intermittent explosive disorder, talk with your doctor about treatment options or ask for a referral to a mental health professional. Some techniques that may be part of your treatment include:
Unfortunately, many people with intermittent explosive disorder don't seek treatment. If you're involved in a relationship with someone who has intermittent explosive disorder, take steps to protect yourself and your children. The abuse isn't your fault. No one deserves to be abused.
If you see that a situation is getting worse, and suspect your loved one may be on the verge of an explosive episode, try to safely remove yourself and your children from the scene. However, leaving someone with an explosive temper can be dangerous. Consider taking these steps before an emergency arises:
In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number or your local law enforcement agency. These resources also can help:
If you have intermittent explosive disorder, prevention is likely beyond your control unless you get treatment from a professional. Combined with, or as part of, treatment, these suggestions may help you prevent some incidents from getting out of control:

USDA Seeks Nominees for American Lamb Board
AMS No. 076-13
Sam Jones-Ellard (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, May 7, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture is seeking nominations for individuals to serve on the 2014 American Lamb Board.
Any producer, feeder, and first handler within the United States that owns or purchases lambs can be considered for nomination. All eligible individuals are invited to seek nomination by June 21, 2013. A lamb producer, feeder, or first handler must be nominated by a USDA Certified Producer Organization and submit a completed application.
USDA encourages board membership that reflects the diversity of the individuals served by its industry. Diversity includes gender, race, disability, length of service, and size and type of operation.
For the contact information of the Certified Producer Organizations in your state or region, visit:
Composed of 14 members representing two geographical regions, the Lamb Board administers a research and promotion program authorized by the Commodity Promotion, Research, & Information Act of 1966. The Secretary of Agriculture selects appointees from producers nominated by Certified Producer Organizations.
Research and promotion programs are industry-funded, authorized by Congress, and date back to 1966. Since then, Congress has authorized the establishment of 20 research and promotion boards. They empower farmers and ranchers to leverage their own resources to develop new markets, strengthen existing markets, and conduct important research and promotion activities. AMS provides oversight, paid for by industry assessments, which ensures fiscal responsibility, program efficiency, and fair treatment of participating stakeholders.

The Vampire Diaries
How to Watch The Vampire Diaries Online
We have a standing appointment with The Vampire Diaries every Thursday at 8 p.m. on the CW, but sometimes things come up. Power outages. Hospital visits. Illumination Night festivities. These are a few of the conflicts that make it impossible for us to watch TVD live. So what's a fang fan to do?
Praise the powers that be — there are online options that allow us to catch up with all the plot twists, bloody deaths, and hookups. Starting at approximately 6 a.m. the morning after the show airs, The CW streams the latest episode. Four more of the most recent episodes are streamable as well.
The same episodes are available on Hulu Plus, while the newest episode doesn't show up on the free version of Hulu for eight days.
If you have a smartphone or iPad, the CW also offers an app that allow you to watch free episodes of TVD.
And while it's not technically online, Comcast Xfinity subscribers have access to the four latest Vampire Diaries episodes on On Demand.
Alright, now you have no excuse for not being all caught up on the latest TVD episodes!

TSS 7.17.11 - Countdown....
The Sweet Life in Paris, yesterday and learned some useful manners that will hopefully help me not be viewed as one of those "obnoxious" Americans. I also started reading Julia Child's, My Life in France. While I still mentally picture Meryl Streep as this iconic chef from the movie Julie and Julia, I distinctly remember the days before cable television when there was no Food Network channel and the only cooking shows were available through Public Television. I had just graduated college and would anticipate the airing of Julia's next installment of The French Chef. I even purchased her two cookbook set, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, although I was never brave enough to attempt any of the authentic recipes. I am enjoying reading about her humble beginnings in the foray of French cooking, and I love her sense of adventure in the City of Lights.
Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik is another book that I have started to read in order to experience the life of an ex-pat's life in Paris. While I enjoy his detailed essays of Paris in the late 90s, I find that I skim them more than savor every detail. Perhaps it is because he chronicles the adventure as the father of a young son, and I am no longer in that phase of life, or perhaps his interests are not as focused on fine cuisine like the other two books, which apparently is a dormant passion of mine. Anyway, it is a good book and is adding another dimension to my appreciation of this fascinating, cosmopolitan city.
The other genre of books that I am reading during this final week of preparation is art books - more specifically, Impressionism art and even more specific than that --- those that are geared towards teaching children how to appreciate these artistic masterpieces. I believe I was skipped over when it came to the artistic gene (my brother received my share though - so all is good). But couple that with the fact that my private elementary school did not even offer an art class puts me at a severe disadvantage when it comes to appreciating masterpiece paintings. In fact, when we used to live in New York in the mid 1980s I would joke and say that I could visit the entire Metropolitan Museum of Art in one hour. A slight exaggeration --- but only slight.
The Annotated Mona Lisa by Carol Strickland, PhD. This book provides a general overview of each of the major time periods, and it is filled with lots of pictures - the perfect combination for a visual learner such as myself.
However, I was still struggling to learn how to appreciate the true works of art. So I decided to look in the children's department and what a treasure trove I found. The first book I came across was, appropriately titled, Looking at Pictures, created by the National Gallery in London. While the tag line indicates that this serves as "an introduction to art for young people" I would add that this is probably geared towards upper elementary to middle school students. It is a nice, general overview.of the artistic elements, time periods, and styles. Again, lots of pictures are used to illustrate the points made.
Great Artists Explained -- which details 50 artists and their works; and the second is Art Explained which details and explains the worlds greatest paintings. Both of the fabulous guidebooks are written by Robert Cumming.
I love these books because they are written for the "average joe" - using every day language that we all understand and not a lot of specific vocational vocabulary. Each painting is illustrated on a two page spread - so it is easy to see the details and provides a wonderful visual aid for the written explanations. The author then highlights certain aspects of the painting by zooming in and providing anecdotal as well as academic information. I find these books suitable for young children, who will just enjoy looking at the pictures and seeing what is they want to see --- as well as the neophyte adults like myself who wish to really learn WHY I like a painting.
I am especially looking forward to studying the works of art that I plan to see in person at the Musee d'Orsay. I think there is an added magical element of studying a painting in a book, and then facing the original work of art in real life.
It is oppressively hot in the Midwest today - in fact, we are in an excessive heat warning until Friday afternoon! It seems to be the perfect week to sit back with a glass of iced tea, a book of art, and enjoy the beauty. I hope that you are able to enjoy the summer weather this week as well.

I used to sell DK books when they were largely a home-party based enterprise and I'm not surprised that those were the best books you found. I had art classes when I was younger but, frankly, you didn't miss much when it comes to learning an appreciation for art or learning the history. Those classes are more a matter of trying to explain art through doing and you can't get far with that with most people!

I am so looking forward to your trip. It's a bit odd, really, to be excited about someone else's trip. If there's time before you go, and the probably isn't, Simon Schima's BBC series The Power of Art is excellent. There is an episode about Van Gogh that may be of interest for your Paris trip. But it sounds like you've plent of background information already. Have a wonderful trip.

Those DK books sound great! I had one art class in high school but it didn't touch any art history. Anything I've learned has been picked up at museums.
I'm very curious about what kind of mannerisms will get you branded as an obnoxious American. :)

DK's Eyewitness books are the best at explaining anything for kids (or adults, for that matter).
This is the perfect time for you to have discovered your "dormant food gene." Have a wonderful, wonderful trip, Molly. Along with everyone else, I am very excited (and yes, just a teensy bit jealous) for you. May Paris be all that you've dreamed of and more!

For medical questions concerning blood donations call 1-800-688-0900
Did you know that only 2% of New Yorkers donate blood, compared with 5% nationwide? Over 2,200 pints of blood are needed EVERY DAY to meet the needs of patients in over 50 NYC hospitals. You have a gift that could save 5 lives with one donation. Please share that gift and DONATE BLOOD!
New York Blood Center needs our help. They face an unprecedented situation, and now have declared an emergency appeal: because of Hurricane Sandy, they project a total cumulative shortfall of up to 12,000 units of urgently needed blood. If you have not donated, we ask you to do so as soon as you can. The blood you give now will help NYBC to replenish the losses from the storms and prepare the blood supply for the always-intensive holiday season. We need your help to safeguard the health of our communities.

The Bible - We start with the Word of God, The Holy Bible, because we believe it is the source of God's revelation of Himself to mankind. It was written by men, but inspired by God. It explains the perfect character of God, the sinful nature of man, and God's plan for making people right from His perspective. The Scriptures are completely trustworthy and rich in God's truth. (Psalm 19:7-10; Luke 21:33; 24:46-47; John 5:39; Romans 15:4; II Timothy 3:16)
God - The one, true, living supernatural spirit who created all in the natural universe. He has the highest intelligence, power, and knowledge that is not limited by time nor space. The Bible describes Him as God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with different purposes and attributes, but the same being.
God the Father - He is the giver and sustainer of life in His creation. He is a loving, benevolent, gracious spiritual Father who instructs and disciplines His children. He sets the standard for right and wrong. He is Father to those who are spiritually regenerated through faith in Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:1; 2:7; Exodus 3:14; John 4:24; I Timothy 1:17)
God the Son, Jesus Christ - The eternal Son of God is Christ. The Book of Job says that he was with God at the creation of the world. He was sent to earth by the Father to take a human form. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to a virgin girl named Mary. As a man, His teachings pointed people to His Heavenly Father. The relationship between mankind and God was damaged when the first man and woman sinned against God. He is the only sinless man who ever lived, unworthy of death. He was killed on a cross, buried, and raised from the dead by the power of God. He died on our behalf, bridging the gap between man and God. Through faith in His sacrifice, we can have the hope of living forever with Him in Heaven when we die. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:35; 24:46; John 1:1-18; 19:17-18; 20:1-20; Romans 1:3-4; Philippians 2:5-11)
God the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit has been active throughout time. He inspired the writers of Scripture with the words of God. After Jesus' earthly ministry, He has empowered the Church and drawn people to the Father through Jesus. He graces believers with various abilities called gifts of the Spirit that help strengthen the Church. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit's presence in believers' lives will foster the "fruit" of the Spirit. (Genesis 1:2; Isaiah 61:1; Matthew 28:19; Luke 1:35; 11:13; John 4:24; 15:26; Acts 2:1-4; Romans 8:9-11; 26-27; I Corinthians 2:10-14)
Man - The Bible says that God created humankind in His own image, as beings designed to relate to God. The original man and woman abused the freedom God gave them through their disobedience. They damaged the relationship with God for all people by bringing sin into the world. In spite of their sin, God loved people enough that He provided a way for the broken relations to be mended through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:26-30, 2:7; 18-22; 3; Matthew 16:26; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 3:23; 5:19; 6:6-7)
Salvation - Because of sin, mankind's eternal destiny was separation from God after we die. But through the death and resurrection of Jesus, who was without sin, God offers people the chance to be saved from a hopeless fate. Salvation is available to anyone who hears the Good News about Jesus Christ and believes that He truly was and is God's son who died and rose again on our behalf. God desires that all people recognize their sinfulness, turn from it, and trust Him to be saved. He promises that if we do so, it is like we are born again spiritually into God's everlasting family. (Matthew 1:21; 27:22-28; Luke 2; John 1:12-13; 29; 3:3-21; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23-25; 5:8-10)
The Church - The New Testament describes The Church as the Body of Christ. The Church is comprised of all the redeemed in Jesus Christ through the ages from all over the world. The Bible encourages the formation of local bodies of baptized believers as individual, autonomous churches, yet bound together under the headship of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the church is to honor God through worship, sharing the Gospel with those who don't know Jesus, and serving the needs of others in Jesus name. ( Matthew 16:15-19; Acts 16:5; I Corinthians 1:2; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 3:8-11; Colossians 1:12)
Baptism & The Lord's Supper - In Scripture, Jesus commands His followers to observe these two acts of obedience. The Baptist church practices baptism by immersing a new believer in water, symbolizing the Christian's death to sin, burial of the past life, and resurrection to walk as a new creation in Christ. Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but an outward sign of a spiritual change. The Lord's Supper, or communion, memorializes Jesus last supper with His disciples. The Bible records how He instructed the 12 original followers, and those thereafter, to partake of bread and the cup in memory of His broken body and shed blood on our behalf. (Matthew 3:13-17; 26:26-30; Acts 2:41-42; 8:35-39)

Key resources that will help Parent's stay updated !!
"IBM is another corporation attempting to address business weaknesses through education. In order to address the problem of finding middle-tier talent, the company started the Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) in Brooklyn, New York. Participating students can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in applied science. IBM guarantees job interviews to qualified graduates of IBM-affiliated P-TECH schools, according to a company news release."
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's visit to Brooklyn's Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) indicates (once again) why P-TECH is attracting interest from around the world and is being replicated so rapidly. Read about how this innovative education model is helping to connect training more directly to jobs, and why it represents America's best thinking on reinventing education.
Abbott visited the Pathways in Technology Early College High School on Wednesday to learn about its innovative programs. He said he was considering similar schools in Australia.
President Obama on Friday visited the innovative Brooklyn high school he praised in his State of the Union address this year, to deliver a message about the urgency of education reform in the global economy.
P-Tech High School student, Leslieanne John, 16, sang the national anthem when President Obama visited the Brooklyn school and proceeded to call out the president's basketball skills by saying 'I could beat you in heels'
It's a three-year-old school with only about 300 students, but Pathways in Technology Early College High School, or P-TECH, is being called, by a very highly-placed source, the future of America's presence in the global economy. That source is none other than President Barack Obama.
President Barack Obama will visit a New York City high school Friday (Oct 25, 2013) where students get an associates degree after six years and a head start at a job with IBM.
On March 12, P-TECH was visited by the foreign press, including members of China's official Xinhua news agency. There is new interest around the world in the work that's happening right here in Brooklyn. Take a look at a different perspective on our school.
Governor Cuomo announced that the state will open ten new schools around the state, based on P-TECH's model. The governor's proposed budget includes $4 million in incentives for public-private partnerships aligned with this model.
Reported by the Daily News, the city has announced plans to replicate the P-TECH 9-14 model in two new schools set to open in 2013. One school, to open in the Bronx, will focus on health careers; the second, in Queens, will focus on the energy industry.
In his State of the Union speech, President Obama highlights P-TECH, saying that "We need to give every American student opportunities like this." This Business Week article investigates why the school has received so much attention.
Praise for the innovative model reshaping career and technical education in this New York Times article. Hear from some of our brilliant students, who are quoted talking about their experience at this unique school.
IBM's Stan Litow argues for a new model of education to improve the economic competitiveness of the United States. P-TECH is the first example of this dramatic paradigm shift in the way we prepare students for productive lives in the workforce.
This sure looks like a positive article about the way that P-TECH is transforming education and job preparation...but, tough to be sure, since it's in German. German-speakers, take a look!
P-TECH offers a summer school program for all students, including incoming freshmen, but it comes with tradeoffs. Gotham Schools spoke to Principal Davis about the balancing act required to provide these opportunities to our students.
Fast Company attended our engineering week event with IBM mentors. What happens when a public school and a huge tech company work together to educate young people? P-TECH!
The Pathways in Technology Early College High School or P-TECH offers a science, technology, engineering and math curriculum that leads to the simultaneous granting of a high school diploma and an associate's degree...The goal is to equip its graduates with the knowledge and skills for entry- and mid-level employment at tech companies. P-TECH achieves this objective by partnering with the New York City Education Department, the New York City College of Technology, the City University of New York and IBM.
TIME Magazine editor Rana Foroohar writes about how this school has the potential to transform the national conversation about education and economic development. "National competitiveness is the topic of the moment, but so much of the debate about it is conducted at 35,000 feet, at the policy level. In late March, I visited a place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where change is happening on the ground."
Mayor Bloomberg writes in The Financial Times about the way forward for globablly competitive cities. He cites P-TECH as one of the major ways that New York is improving the climate for economic development and making education work for all of our young people.
Six years of high school? Longer school days? A math and science focused curriculum? It might not seem like the ideal high school experience to most, but for Alec Miller, "It's worth it."
9th grader Tahmel Anderson writes about his experience transitioning from a mediocre middle school experience to P-TECH. He is progressing quickly at our school, leaving bad habits from former schools behind--with this well-written entry as all the evidence you need that his skills have improved already.
Student Council President Brigette Luboa blogs for IBM's Smarter Planet website, with an entry titled "Good-bye safe private school. Hello risky new school with free associate's degree!". Brigette made a transition bigger than most, coming from a small Catholic school where she was one of only 35 students in her 8th grade class. We're so glad that she's excelling at P-TECH so far, a stellar example of our exceptional student body.
IBM, working with the New York and Chicago, has released a "playbook" for replication of the 9-14 postsecondary partnership school model. Blending high school, college, and career in one, this is the first step in the development of several new schools following our model. It is a tribute to our work here and our robust partnerships that this model is being learned from and replicated around the country.
CNN Radio visited P-TECH to learn more about our unique model, the innovative curriculum, and how we work with our partners to deliver results for all students. As Mr. Davis says: "In order to be competitive, students definitely need to leave with job-readiness skills so that way they can really have a shot at middle- and high-income lifestyles."

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
Washington, Feb. 22, 1996 We dont think well ever be able to recover remains for 567 of [the 2,162 Americans still missing in Southwest Asia], said James Wold, deputy assistant secretary of defense for POW/MIA Affairs.
The revelation was made in a report to Congress last winter. It prompted accusations by some that the Pentagon is forsaking the missing. But Wold refuted that notion. He said such an announcement "generates the most publicity because it's the first public recognition that no matter what we do or what host governments [Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia] do, we'll never be able to recover some remains. This is no different from past wars from which there still remain thousands of missing Americans. "
The decision was based analytically on our review of all the cases, Wold noted.
There are a number of reasons why some missing may never be accounted for, Wold said. "Americans became missing or were killed under a wide range of circumstances," he noted. Losses include downed aviators; soldiers known to have died on the battlefield, but whose remains were not recovered due to enemy actions. There were, for example, soldiers who drowned while crossing a river whose remains could not be found.
A small number disappeared from their unit or were lost while off duty in Vietnam. The assumption is they met with foul play, although the circumstances and location of their loss remains unknown.
Some of the most difficult cases to solve involve airplane crashes at sea, Wold said. There are 470 unaccounted cases of individuals lost at sea: 449 in Vietnamese waters, 15 in Cambodian waters and six in Chinese waters. This includes aviators whose planes crashed at sea, persons who perished when their vessels sank and those who fell or were swept overboard and a few swimmers swept out to sea," Wold said. After reviewing the cases of every overwater loss, 366 individuals were determined to have been lost at sea, and their remains are believed to be unrecoverable.
There are also cases involving ground action loses, Wold said. "A platoon or company of men, perhaps, was involved in a battle by a fastmoving stream where a person swept down stream is never recovered.
Service members missing in Southeast Asia receive the most publicity, but DoD hasn't forgotten the missing from World War II, the Korean War or the Cold War, the retired Air Force brigadier general said.
"We're trying to increase dialogue with other countries about Americans missing in prior conflicts," Wold said. "Last August, we completed the 12th U.S./Russia Joint Commission plenary session in Moscow. There's a lot of productive activity going on and we're getting additional information."
The United States is trying to get the North Korean government to conduct joint investigations into the whereabouts of U.S. service members buried in cemeteries in that country. Officials are also asking the Chinese government for access to military archives to help account for Americans missing from the Korean War.
The United States isnt giving up on accounting for any of the missing, Wold emphasized. DoD is conducting major joint field activities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, he said. "We recently completed two significant joint investigations in Cambodia. The Army Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii and the Life Science Equipment Laboratory at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, are extremely busy working on these cases. Were also engaged in a major research and document declassification effort concerning Vietnam and Korean War losses."
Vietnam turned over more important documents in 1995 than ever before, Wold noted. "In terms of joint field activities," he said, "the cooperation is good and they're very flexible
"I must say the same thing about Laos," he continued. "But Laos doesn't have as many resources per capita as the Vietnamese to work with us on joint field activities.
Cambodia is a little different, Wold said. There are 77 outstanding cases in Cambodia. "We concluded a very successful operation off Tang Island, on the coast of Cambodia. This was related to the Mayaguez incident in 1975. [The Khmer Rouge captured the U.S. merchant ship Mayaguez. President Ford sent in Marines to rescue the crew. A total of 15 Marines died and 50 were wounded in the operation].
The salvage ship USS Brunswick dredged around a helicopter that was shot down and crashed in the surf. "Navy divers recovered remains and artifacts that may lead to accountability in several cases," Wold said. "We also investigated another helicopter crash northeast of the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.
Letters explaining the results of DoD's report ZeroBased Comprehensive Review of Cases Involving Unaccounted for Americans in Southeast Asia are being sent to families of missing service members. The analytic review represents the first time the U.S. government has assessed all information and material collected since the Vietnam War ended.
"Information about individual cases isn't classified, but it may be restricted because of privacy concerns," Wold said. "So the information can't become public until the families are notified."

My oh my….. Illegal firearm purchases, explosives, ATF raids, reckless endangerment, violent criminality, lawlessness, reckless, fatally flawed are just a few of the things linked to republican Markwayne Mullin, according to Oklahoma GOP state senator – George Faught campaign website (as of 9/2012). Oklahoma State Senator Faught who lost to Mullin in GOP runoff for US congress Oklahoma district 2 , did a luke warm endorsement of Mullin via his official campaign website. But that's not the only thing on his campaign website in reference to Mullin as he used some strong worded characterization of Mullin which is hardly an endorsement for the job as public servant or even entering one's home to fix the plumbing for that matter … well.. you know… ah…. I wont be calling his plumbing company to fix the faucet. And No .. I wont be voting for Mullin either.
In case Oklahoma & National GOP got wind that some of those pages that were still Live as of 9/18/2012 on Faught's website & they put pressure on Faught to scrub it down, I had already web captured Faught's campaign website back in September 19, 2012. The video files were embedded from another external site. When I checked to look at Faught's campaign sight again I found most of the incriminating stuff against Mullin had been scrubbed off. I figured the power-that-be of the GOP got hold of him.
Considering all this, I found it another matter that's troubling to me & that was recently brought to my attention since Im blogging stuff that may not be to Mullin's liking. Its the issue about his campaign allegedly threatening a Claremore Daily Progress female reporter – Salesha Wilken. I hope Mullin nor his campaign play rough with me for my bucking him w/my reporting on the internet. Oh well, I guess time will tell. But I find it necessary to post this issue before matters get turned up a notch – JUST IN CASE!

The Hanahan Police Department recently added two features to its website so residents can utilize its services in an easier way.
The HPD announced the additions last week.
First, under the "Community" tab at hanahanpolice.com is a section for property registration. This section allows residents to submit up to five photos and all the relevant description information for each of their bicycles and trailers.
While the HPD has always had a bicycle registration, prior to now, the service required the citizen to physically bring their bicycles to the police station so it could be documented and stickered. The new way lets citizens submit this information from the comfort of their home.
Once submitted and validated, the information is imported to HPD records for reference should something ever happen where the information is needed.
In South Carolina, trailers are not required to have license plates so people often do not have the trailer information or photos if they get stolen. By using this new feature, the HPD will be able to readily identify a trailer if it is located and not in the possession of the lawful owner.
The second feature recently added was the House Check, also located under the "Community" tab.
This allows a citizen to submit their vacation check request without having to leave their home. Once these submissions are validated, the HPD will physically check their homes on a daily, if not more often, basis. Before this tab, residents had to drive to the station in order to request this service.

DUE 1.3 hits App Store + Promo Code give away!
Would be great for Multi-tasking for a Multi-family.
I am the absent minded professor and could really use this.... I would forget my name if it wasn't written on the back of my underwear..... Did I remember to wear underwear today?????
this app can help me wake up more efficently for work..
DUE would help me with my scheduled surveys everyday, keeping me on track!
I know this isnt a funny one but DUE would help a full time worker and student like me remember that I have papers DUE and work to be finished!
DUE would help me remember birthdays, anniversaries, meetings, and more...
DUE will remind me to scratch my ass
Due could help me remember what I was about to write here in the comments :D
DUE would remind me to actually take my damned iPhone with me :-)
I could use my built in calendar to do the same thing as this app does. How many of these do we really need?
DUE would remind me to...
...finish my sentences!
DUE is not doo-doo! How about the promo code?
What could Due do for me? (cups chin in hand and looks off dreamily into the distance, Enya plays softly in the background as thoughts of a better world shimmer into view). Need an app to remind me to get back to work!
DUE could remind me I need a new life.
I need to do the Due!
Doing when things are due isn't done well in my household. In fact, doing things by when things are due just isn't done, dude.
Dudes need to do by the time things are due, or things that are due aren't done at all.
Due can help make me do what must be done by the time things are due, so things get done, dude.
Be a Dude and send me due so things get done!
DUE would remind me to check the sister site PreCentral.net every week in order to be thankful I have an iPhone.
I would use Due to remind me to inhale. Does it work in second increments?
it would be nice to have it remind me to take my meds!
DUE could remind me to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me, to use DUE to remind me...
...what was it supposed to remind me to do again?
I wish I had "Due" when I owned my pet Snow Leopard Steve. I forgot to feed him on time on several occasions so in a revenge attack I came home to find my bathroom destroyed resulting in £2000 worth of damage. Needless to say "Due" could of made sure Steve got fed on time and I'd be £2000 better off.
I own a computer repair business. DUE would help me remember all of the clients I have to visit, and current projects that have to be done.
I need something to remind me when it is time for a beer. Plus DUE will let me go back and edit the reminder in case I start early!
It would just be nice to not have to make a calendar entry for every little task I want to remember.
DUE would remind me of my OR procedures and schedule
Oh my! What couldn't "Due" help me to do better? I am a mom of two teenagers who do a lot, and a husband to whom I would like to delegate a lot of "honey do's" (but I don't because I forget to do this). I have cats that have medicine do, a job that has deadlines do, and even dog doo-doo that I should do but just don't do. "Due" would be amazing to help me keep up with everything that I need to do, when I need to do it, so that maybe, just maybe, I can find the time to do something for myself!
Due would help me to remember to enter all the great contests at BGR...oh wait tipb. See how much I need it.
I am in class and we were supposed to turn in our papers at the begining of class. I didn't do it because I completely forgot. Please I need something to help me remember all these assignments!! HELP!!!!!!
I would use DUE to remind me when I gotta pay my baby mama some money for diapers and formula, take out the friend chicken so I don't be burning down da hizouse and to be reminding mento be getting my cousin out the big house with dem bars.
But seriously I own my own business. It will help with lots to help me keep organized.
As a Canadian, DUE will allow me to remember when the next hockey game is, when to chop my lumber, when to sit on my chesterson, when to remove the beaver dam, when to shovel snow from my driveway, when to make an outdoor ice rink and when to drink a beer. Help a Canadian out!!! We never get the good stuff up here!!!
Well, I really due need something that keeps me on track. I am so used to hearing deadlines swish by that I am due for a change. Due to the fact that I always have stuff to due, I due like this app. So without further too due ( ok that was a bit of a stretch!) I due sign off.
Due, could help me remember all of my assignments and homework for all of my college classes, since I always forget them:)
I would use it daily to keep track solely of things that have the sound "doo" in it:
- Hairdoo appointments
- Jury Duty
- Finish reading Frank Herbert sagas (Dune)
- Fix the copy machine (dupes)
- Pickup prophylactics (Durex)
- As an egg timer (proper duration)
- Pickup new work boots (making sure they're durable)
- Watch Saturday morning cartoons (Scooby Doo)
- Get new tires on the truck (it's a Dually)
- Follow up phone call to royalty (Duke of Earl)
- Schedule surfing lessons (with the dude)
- Reschedule boxing lessons (duking it out)
- Check mirror before leaving home (yep, I look like a doof!)
- Remember to choose a weapon (for my upcoming duel)
- Re-stock emergency kit (for Doomsday)
- Pick up new card deck on way home (mine's missing the duece)
- Pull car under carport at night (so my windshield's not dewy)
- Using the restroom (I won't type that out...)
Please take this under consideration.
Due would be great for me to renind me of client appoinments, birthdays, and when I can stop working and go to sleep.
Could totally use this.
"DUE" would help me regain my sanity. I hope it can.
I just like free SH*T.
Remind me to pick my daughter up from school. LOL
Due can help me remember everything! Between children's appointments, my own appointments, work related items, and other organizational items I forget everything unless it's written and stapled to my lapel. Anything that will help me sort stuff is proper awesome! Especially given I will have two sources of reminders with my iPod and incoming iPhone.
Well, I got 2Do to remind me to check Awsome notes, that remind me to check Evernote, to remind me to check OneNote, to remind me to check Toodledo, reminding me to check Touch To Do, so I need Due to remind me to check 2Do, or my whole GTD may cause some kind of time warp, or worm hole that may destroy the earth.
I need "Due" because I always forget what I need to do. I think I have ADD but I am to poor to pay for health insurance to be fully diagnosed for it. Using a pen and paper to jot down reminders is just out of the question!! I am due for "DUE".
My husband keeps on saying that he needs something simple that can remind him of things to due, but everything he has looked at is just not simple enough, yet has the features he wants. DUE looks like it is the right app for him. With DUE HE maybe for once would not forget our anniversary!
Remember my mother-in-laws birthday and maybe to celebrate her future death. Oh ya, and remember when I need to change my wifes cars oil. :( ya thanks Tipb
Install Due on our iPhones and use it daily!
I'm thinking cheese nuggets.
Well one of the best things of having DUE on the iPhone, would be to get a reminder to register for contests that would allow you to win a promo code for DUE. (kind of like conundrum wrapped in a riddle)
it wll remind me to check TIPB.com for the latest and best APPLE :) Updates
Remind me to get my ass to work everyday
Oh, great app to remind me to go back home from work!

Everything changes
Visit the West Ashley location of Mellow Mushroom, and try to argue that it doesn't, at least marginally, honor the history of the buildings it's snatching up when possible, while making them awesome to be in again. Yes, fix the damage before painting. Yes, embrace whomever/however you can get to frequent downtown more often. Heaven forbid some change makes downtown and Aiken, in general, more than a collection of "historic" buildings mostly in unfrequented disrepair. Where were these people during the buildup of the Southside and the ridiculous strip mall chain store mess we have now? The Bowery was great, but if change is inevitable, there are way worse things that could be moving in. For example: Nothing.
Our daughter graduated from King Academy. She and another girl carpooled and swapped time to drive. You might do something there.
Drug problem
There is a rampant drug problem in an area on Whiskey Road. The police have been called, and they only send police when they can spare them. The City and the County don't seem to care about these complaints.
Shutdown effects
I see that the government shutdown has done nothing to shut down the free phone giveaways around Aiken.
SRS furloughs
Does anyone know whether or not the furloughed workers at SRS are eligible for unemployment?
Drug dealing
There is so much drug dealing in Aiken County, and the police never respond. I have lived in my neighborhood for 10 years, and it's getting worse and worse. It's so blatant you can look out your window and see it going on. It needs to be put to an end.
Cultural center
The African American Center for History, Art and Culture isn't doing much because the community doesn't support it.
Road paving
It is a waste of taxpayer money to fund Project Jackson and a train that goes nowhere. We are spending money on things we don't need, but we can't spend a dime to pave roads in Melrose.
AARP membership
AARP does not work for seniors. I canceled my membership years ago and continue to receive notices to join.
People like you
A heartfelt thanks to the person who turned in my purse. People like you make Aiken a wonderful place to call home.

For the past week I've been at a trade show with my work here in Dubai, UAE (hence the thin posting) This is my second time here. The first was last year at this time for the same event. Things have definitely changed in one year with even more high rise towers and double the number of construction cranes dotting the horizon. There's a boom in development here and it doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon. Take a look down below for my trip photos and videos..
Coincidentally, just as I was touching down here I was contacted by Hesham Amiri who informed me of the first known Dubai Google Maps mashup called Map.Ocit.AE. Hesham describes it as "..a site based on the Google Maps API targeted for residents and visitors of the Emirate of Dubai where users can add interesting markers, comments and bookmarks." And for even more Google Maps based information about Dubai be sure to check out the ever-essential travel resource: Wikimapia (Dubai zoom-in).
I've been trying to get as much sightseeing in as possible in the evenings and I've had a fantastic time. I even made the trip to the Mall of the Emirates last evening to take some runs in the indoor ski hill called Ski Dubai.. and it wasn't too bad! :) I've busy with my digital camera capturing everything I can and I have the following personal photos and clips if you're interested (check back in 2 or 3 days when I'll add more to this pool. Until then expect some time before my next post as I journey back to Canada. Explore some of the mashup and tools links along the right side of the blog.. Here are the pics and videos:
Flickr Photo Set: Dubai 06 - Here is one great shot from Flickr user Trimpop that looks down Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. It shows the already present residential and business towers with the Burj Dubai being constructed off in the distance. This will be the tallest building in the world once complete. (Here are my photos from last year)
YouTube videos: Two clips showing the in-seat video channels that show live camera views out the front and belly of the Emirates flight I was on - Taking off from Heathrow and a landing in Dubai. And finally, here are some short video clips of the Ski Dubai facility: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

I personally use it as my date book. Works very well with Outlook.
How do you use the calendar on your iPhone?
The are several ways to use the calendar on your iPhone, including syncing with other devices (including computers) and with the cloud (via a variety of services). You can also keep just one global calendar for everything, or separate ones for work, school, hobbies, family, training, etc.
- You can just use the calendar app right on the iPhone all by itself. It's not the fastest when it comes to data entry, but if you really want to keep your agenda in your pocket you can just hit the plus (+) key, add an event, and keep on keeping on (time that is).
- You can sync your calendar(s) over from Outlook on Windows or iCal on the Mac using iTunes and the USB-Dock cable that came with your iPhone. This makes sure both your desktop/laptop and iPhone calendar stay roughly coordinated (not instantly, but updated whenever you tether up and sync). Even if you intend to leave the desktop for the mobile, syncing over at first is a great way to start.
- You can sync from cloud services like Google Calendar, Apple's MobileMe, or a Microsoft Exchange server via ActiveSync. All three (if you're using GoogleSync, at least) will "push" changes back and forth between your online and on-device calendars, and if your desktop is linked to the same account, you can keep all your calendars automatically and up-to-the-minute accurate. (Pro users might even set up links between MobileMe and Google Calendar or Exchange via desktop or third party tools for cross-cloud sync). -You can subscribe to online calendars shared by others via CalDAV, which is useful for keeping track of public holidays, your favorite sports teams, special projects, or other group events on small or grand scale.
In iPhone OS 4, developers will have access to the calendar so we'll likely see movie ticket apps that automatically add the show time for you when you buy a ticket. Until then, let us know how you're using your iPhone calendar. On device, synced from your desktop, and/or in the cloud? If in the cloud, what service do you use? Any tips or tricks you care to share?

How do you use the calendar on your iPhone?
I sync with Exchange, but have to use it mostly as an FYI since you really can't manage appointments without features like free/busy information. Try book a meeting on an iPhone or iPad? Good luck.
You can't even decline a single meeting in a recurring series without it canceling all of them, and there is no functionality to edit the email that is sent to the originator to let them know why you cannot attend.
IMHO some of these are basic features that any "enterprise" class device should have. I think Apple needs to start looking closer at what they call enterprise ready. If some of these were fixed I know one Fortune 500 company that would buy thousands more devices.
Will 4.0 address this? I'm guessing not, at least in the built-in apps.
Honestly I don't at all.
I use the calendar with my outlook web access (OWA) exchange server and my contacts, calendar, and email is all pushed to me and synchronized with my other computers instantly! Perfect!
Whats not perfect? Apple needs to go a long way in supporting more of the exchange functions. As JD said, you can't create a meeting and invite others. While I can see my entire companies directory in the contacts (very cool), I can't start inviting them to an event. The laundry list of enterprise functions that I would use if I could is just too many to type here.
Bottom line: The more Apple pushes the iPhone to be a laptop in my pocket, the happier I will be. The more they say, no, we're going to keep it from being able to do what your laptop can do, the more I will be tempted to switch to the smart phone maker who delivers this. I love the way Apple makes things easy, but there is a difference between making things easy and taking away capability that the device could certainly have if they decided to allow it.
I use it with iCal and MobileMe. I also use calendar events as Todos because I refuse to use a separate third party app.
If Apple comes out with a native todo app that's separate, and not inside their calendar app, I won't use that either. To do so would already make me unorganized from the start.
Sync with google....works great and keeps me updated with what the family us up to!
I sync with Google, and have Google sync with my work PC. All my appointments and meetings are handy, but that way I don't get flooded with work email and contacts, as with a direct Exchange connection to OWA. I use OWA in Safari when I want to check work email, but I'll be interested to see if OS 4 gives me a better way to fully sync yet keep email separate.
I don't use my calender for anything except the weekly IT meetings we have here. On the other hand, my cousin would love to see a snooze feature on the calendar notifications.
Pesonal appointments and what not
I wish entering a new appointment on the iPhone's calendar app was easier. I hate having to press the (+) button and then inputting in whatever time the appointment starts and ends. I wish I could just touch on the time (in day view) and a window would pop up allowing me to enter my appointment details. That's the way it worked on my Palm Treo ten years ago. It's a simple function, but would make my calendar usage SO much more pleasant.
I subscribe to some calendars, sync with my Google calendar one of which syncs with my Outlook calendar. Very much looking forward to having my other apps, like Things and TripIt, add events.
I need the immediacy of the link to Exchange, but only for meeting updates, etc. I use syncmycal on the laptop to sync with google calendar and use Pocket Informant as my primary on-device calendar. So many more options, color coding, views, etc. Leaps and bounds better than the built-in.
I have a 3GS and MobileMe. My wife has a 3G. And she has my MobileMe setup on her iPhone but only for Calander access. She uses it to put her work hours in because I never know where she is. I use it for work stuff. The system works really well! We always know what's going on :)
I use multiple Calendars for my plumbing business , To Arrange , To Do , To Bill , Billed , Shopping List , Personals , etc. And I move events to different calendars as they apply . I miss the Choices of colors , icons , that I had with DateBook on Palm Devices . I've always dreamed of some kind of Template in iCal that could link with the address book and transfer into a invoice on Pages to print or email etc. Could save me a lot of energy ! Go !
I seriously cannot function without the calendar on my iphone. It has all my class schedules, appointments, even reminders to work on stuff. I'd like it if there was a desktop program (not ical or outlook) that it could sync with just to make data input easier, I'd be happy. I'm positive people are already making apps that will do that though, so its only a matter of time.
I sync with Mobile Me. Personally, it's a [Insert deity of your choice here]send. I have a ton of medical appointments (due to a rare kidney condition), I'm in college (the year depends on who you ask), the Steward for my local Masonic Lodge--not to mention my blogging activities, finances, etc...
I would be compeltely lost withot Mobile Me and the Capendar app (no to mention the mail app) always being in sync on my MacBook and my iPhone.
I use exchange with my work calendar on the iphone. I am hoping OS 4.0 will give the calendar an upgrade. My husband and I are talking about somehow syncing a calendar between the two of us. Since I am the one who always makes the plans and puts it on a calendar it would be nice for him to see without having to type it in his too! Only problem is right now, I have both work and personal on my calendar!
I use Thunderbird on my desktop and use the gCal provider and Lightning to sync to my Google Calendar which syncs to my phone through Exchange/ActiveSync. Have my wife's set up so that Outlook uses the Google Calendar sync utility and then same setup as I use on the phone side. Works really well for propagating items created anywhere to everywhere else.
I use it with Google calendar using Exchange ActiveSync. I also sync my Lotus Notes calendar to Google calendar using Awesync. So now I have my iphone reminding me of my business appointments.
I use my calendar for everything, and sync it with Google Calendar using Google Sync. I was using Pocket Informant for a while, but I got tired of all the syncing problems, and returned to the native app until they get that squared away.
I live by my calendar. I sync to Google. The built in calendar on the iPhone is...from hunger. It's the poorest excuse for a calendar system I've seen since pencil and paper. Hopefully the os 4 update will allow 3rd party calendar apps like PocketInformant and Agendus to take advantage of the iPhone and allow little things like - repeating alarms and different alarm sounds. Holy cow...is that too much to ask for? You get one tiny ding for an important appointment and if you miss it...you miss it.
I use the iPhone calendar app in conjunction with MobileMe & Google Calendars. I use BusyCal on my Mac, and use it to sync all of my Google Calendars, which then sync to my iPhone via MobileMe. Gives me much greater flexibility than simply using Google Sync. I have a separate user account for my wife on my Mac at home, and use BusyCal to sync specific calendars over the LAN to her BusyCal, which is then synced to her iPhone via MobileMe. The whole system is running all the time, so our appointments and schedules are always in sync.
My wife and I use it with Google Calendar via Sync (exchange)
We have a shared calendar between us. Once you have a shared calendar, the monthly view becomes useless since it shows an appointment for everyday regardless if there is one for that day or not.
When creating an event, only then can you choose the calendar, once made you must go to the web to change the calendar (i.e. from my personal to our shared)
For all iPhone calendars, you can't create appointments from a contact - i.e. a doctor's appointment using your contact info so the address field is auto populated.
You also can't clone events - i.e. create a new event using all the info from an older one.
I try to keep it in List view as the most efficient display.
I use the built in calendar to sync up via Exchange/Active Sync to my work calendar. But then I use the (very awesome) pocket informant for my personal calendar, as well as my wife/kids calendars- My Home pc syncs outlook calendar to google calendar, as does my wife's on her computer. Google has a link to my wife's calendar, and her Google calendar has a link to mine. Sounds complicated, but it isn't after the initial set up, and the end result is real time syncing/calendar sharing. An update made on any device (iPhone, desktop, laptop) shows up everywhere else thanks to google desktop sync and pocket informant sync. I've been searching for a solution like this for years, as our calendars constantly change and we can't manually update each other all of the time.
Having my work calendar separate from personal calendars is very workable for me. YMMV.
I use the app on the phone and sync it to iCal. The phone app is way too basic though IMO. If you enter an appointment on the wrong calendar by mistake, you can't even edit it to correct it.
There's no week view. The month view doesn't show the colours assigned to events.
There's no quick way to select a year or month without scrolling one by one. There's no jump to date option so I can't be bothered to scroll through years.
That's too many faults in my book.
I use Google Calendar (Nuevasync), but wish I could sync the Calendars that I subscribe, to on my iPhone. Like Arsenal and the likes...
So that I can have separate push calendars and contacts I use:
For Home - MobileMe calendar that is cross-cloud synced with GoogleCal via SpanningSync on my home mac.
For Work - GoogleSync since the office uses google business services for mail, calendars, documents, and contacts.
For holidays and TripIt travel plans - CalDAV
For my wife's work - another google account and GoogleSync (so we can keep all our work stuff separate), at least until her office finally starts to support Exchange on the iPhone.
It is a little complicated, but now everything is in sync in all locations by push.
Sync with google's cloud. Simple and a blessing since I came from an android device which did the same. Never ask me when I have to work unless I have my phone there with me :)
Often and religiously. Gogle apps sync my consulting firm's calendar, feed for my girlfriend's google cal, feeds for my law firm's calendar and my law partner's calendar from our cloud based practice management software (Clio). Looking forward to multiple exchange syncs. Oh and mobile me too.
Hello, Pocket Informant anyone? Yes it even has a week view. My work outlook syncs to google and google calendar syncs to PI. PI offers so many more options than the built in calendar app. For those who want a more robust day planner, check it out. I hardly ever open my iPhone calendar app anymore.
I came to an iPhone after 12 years with various Palm PDAs. Apple's iPhone calendar is obnoxious! How come Apple can't learn anything from a decade of Palm's design? Not only that, twice now it has stuffed up syncing with Outlook. So now I don't sync, but it also means I can't enter simple and basic things like recurring events on the second Tuesday of the month. Soon I will transfer to using Pocket Informant and Google Calendar. Apart from Calendar and Contacts, I absolutely love the iPhone.
Is there a way to sync from the default iPhone calendar app to google? I currently use saisuke for my calendar (syncs with google) but love having lockinfo on "wake up." (if only lockinfo would read saisuke like it does the default calendar app!) I would love to not have to enter everything twice!
The calendar is missing the most basic feature of any calendar app. Reminders that work. A very faint beep beep beep isn't acceptable. A message on the lock screen then disappears when you unlock isn't acceptable. If the reminder triggers and you don't hear it (which you never do) and then later your phone rings and you swipe to answer the phone, the reminder disappears. That isn't acceptable. Many times I will take my phone out of my pocket and swipe it before seeing the screen. If I had a reminder on there I would never see it. It needs to do a better job of insuring you got the reminder. We also need a snooze. Often times I need a reminder but can't get to the task right away so I snooze it for a few mins. Sometimes I snooze again. I have never owned a PDA that didn't have this.
Why is it that Apple will fail miserably at doing something and never admit to it? It is their way or the highway. They are never willing to go back to the drawing boards because that would mean that their first attempt was a failure and Apple can do no wrong. Did the Newton have reminders? I am guessing no, and because it didn't, Apple will probably never implement it on the iPhone. Because that would mean the calendar on the Newton was a failure. :)
I used to sync with my iCal on the Mac through iTunes. ICal is synced with Google Calendars by CalDav and with holiday calendars by subscription. My wife has her calendar in Google Calendar and we each subscibe to the others' calendar with permissions to modify or change each. I Aldo have a Google Calendar I manage for a non-Profit and Is embedded on their website synced with my iPhone iCal trough Google Sync. I can show any one or all (but not select 2 or 3) of my calendars on the iPhone and change any of them (except subscribed read-only Google ones) on the fly from my iPhone. All changes made by me, my wife or changes I make to the non-profit's Google Calendar embedded on their website push immediately to and from the cloud, the few times I bother opening iCal on my MacBookPro (mine or my wife's) iCal syncs automatically with all shared and subscribed Google calendars pushing and pulling any changes without user intervention. Needless to say, if I occasionally make changes in desktop iCal, those changes are pushed via Google Calendar to all our devices and the web.
Is it perfect? No. (Well, almost.) The best part is being able to manage the organization's website calendar right from my own iPhone without having to log out of my Google account and into theirs to change the calendar. Changes push to their website calendar instantly and effortlessly!
But it's much better than paying for MobileMe and/or syncing iCal only via iTunes.
My real estate company uses the iPhone calendar for EVERYTHING. However.....
I bought into the hype last August and purchased XServes, Snow Leopard Server, and iPhones for my company and now I sincerely regret it. Albeit, Apple does make some awesome devices/software, their "enterprise" offerings are disgustingly weak. We're realtors. We work in a mobile environment. We don't sit in front of our Mac desktops all day - so our workflow moves to our iPhones.
First there is no native OTA sync on the iPhone from 10.6 Server. None. I don't care what all the advertising said. When an appointment changes and our secretary adjusts it in the respective calendar, we have no idea it changed until we open iCal on the iPhone and refresh the calendars. Huh? So then we tried having an email sent to us when someone updates a calendar. Wait.. it takes 15 minutes for the iPhone to poll the 10.6 mail server because there is no push mail support for 10.6 server and the iPhone. Ok.. strike two. So then we just started opening iCal on the iPhone every 10 or 15 minutes to refresh the calendars. Fail. Who wants to continuously open iCal, close. Open, Close. So now we have to SMS each other to inform one another that a calendar event has changed. Huh?
If I need to set up an appointment on my iPhone, I can't invite anyone to it. Huh again? I can't even accept or decline an appointment setup by my staff until I get back in front of my desktop. I can't even tell if someone has accepted or declined a meeting on my iPhone.
OH WAIT..... yes I can. If I use Apple's arch nemesis Microsoft Exchange!! What was I thinking?! I can get all the functionality I need if I just shell out thousands of $ for Windows Server, Exchange and respective CALs, and use windows boxes (aside from eating a gun barrel every time windows hiccups, or fails, or gets DoS'd).
Don't suggest Google this or MobileMe that. I am not entrusting the security of our documents, client information, financial information, or email servers to either one. We run all of our iron in-house to ensure a secure, homogenous solution to our current mail/cal/contact requirements.
Apple needs to step up to the plate and make their "enterprise" offerings truly enterprise. They could destroy the M$ exchange stranglehold on business if they wanted to.
I sync with my google apps calendar...but I take it one step farther. With google cal, you can text your calendar and it pareses the info properly. If I want something in my calendar, I text it to google, then google puts the right info in the right places, then it push syncs back to my iphone...much easier than entering directly on iphone. I also use draggon dictation sometimes. I'll say, "meet john tomorrow at 3:30 at panera" for example, then copy the text, and text it over to my calendar. Works very well.
Question for anyone.....I have one problem with the mobleme-exchange relationship. At home on my iMac's or on my iPhone I can see my single (work) exchange calendar. However, at work I'm unable to see my four mobleme family calendars. When I'm at my desk (work), I have to pull out my iPhone to see the family schedule. Does anyone know a work around? Since google cal talks with both exchange and mobleme is that an option or is there something better?? HELP!!
My iPhone 4s calendar doesn't have an add "+" button so I'm unable to create calendar items... Any idea how to fix this?
