Hey, I'm Simone!
I am recently graduated secondary technology teacher (anything to do with textiles being my passion). Prior to study I ran my own business from home so I could raise my daughter and worked in the travel industry prior to this.
Travelling with my daughter, who is 18 years old and sharing with her different cultures while meeting new people and exploring all the amazing places we have only ever read about has been a dream of mine for the last few years.
Top of the lists of interests are music including classical, contemporary and cultural as my daughter is a cellist, also anything textiles as already mentioned, ancient history sites and museums, and generally broadening our perspective of the world.
A eurail pass and basic accommodation is our form of travelling so we have more money to see the sights and do the odd bit of retail therapy!

If someone gave the challenge to cook only one meal for my family that everyone could eat, please note I said eat, not enjoy or liked, it had to be something gluten free, dairy free, tree nut free, egg free, shellfish free and I'm probably forgetting something else free. If you add the picky young teen with her band groupies, (looks more like snow white and two of her seven dwarfs) to the equation, then you are set for an almost mission impossible.
Until very recent we were almost normal family, that loved bread, cheese and eggs. Homemade pizza was a staple for Fridays and cheese was the go-to, comfort-fix everything food for all members of the clan. Now we are an uprooted family, looking for the perfect menu that will satisfy every member of the pack and will help us reestablish our kingdom.
I was recently writing in Spanish about my ordeals with my lack of organization skills, poor sense of timing and the inevitable need to develop techniques to help me run in a semi-smoothly manner our family. Now with this new food challenge, the menu planning gets ugly, the meals lack of cohesion, my balance has been shifted, I feel like my improvisation is non existent and we are eating more rice than I ever imagine. Thanks, Julie for the rice cooker at least I can make rice now.
What to do? Logically turn to all the know-it-all Pinterest looking for inspiration. The Paleo diet sounds beautiful only if my kids will eat any greens. I have try to modified some of our favorite recipes. Please note the word try, since most of my tests has been total disasters.
Today, foreseen a really busy day for tomorrow, I was thinking what can I make for breakfast and what will the kiddos take for lunch, and cupcakes were the one and only idea that came to my mind. What can I make in a muffin shape? Eggs ( I know I said egg free, since I'm the one with the egg allergy it's an option for the kids) oatmeal.
I sautéed 1/2 onion until clear then added some ham to it. Mixed 6 eggs, seasoned with some salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg and pour it on silicone cupcake liners and baked at 350 for 25 min.
They turn out yummy, I had to sell them as scramble egg cupcakes… Go wonders how that can be appealing to a little one.
I could could name them egg Marmuffins, doubt they know the original Mc muffin.
My other adventure, were orange, cranberry oatmeal muffins
They turn out really yummy, I would prefer a little smoother, and I will probably experiment a little with the recipe, and overall they are keepers, not even Snow White influence on the groupies wasn't strong enough to make yucky faces, the muffins were going fast this morning!

From Robb Brewer:
No more teachers, no more books
From Robb Brewer:
A restart for Head Start?
While Head Start has made some progress, the federally funded program "continues to lack clear, comprehensive goals for program performance," writes Sara Mead in Renewing Head Start's Promise: Invest in What Works for Disadvantaged Preschoolers.
In addition, Head Start overemphasizes compliance, requires programs to do too many different things and pays too little attention to curriculum, Mead writes.
While Mead believes Head Start can improve, her report is a devastating critique, writes Checker Finn on Gadfly.
Finn also takes on the idea that funding preschool education in poor countries should be a top United Nations priority. It "costs little and has lifelong benefits by getting children started on learning," argues Matt Ridley in Smart Aid for the World's Poor.
"Preschool is not like a polio shot or smallpox vaccination," writes Finn. "It does not inoculate anybody against anything."
. . . the right kind of preschool program can give a needed leg up to kids who aren't getting such preparation at home.
But—and it's a huge but—it's only preparation for further education. The further education has to be waiting, and it has to be good education that takes advantage of what was accomplished in preschool.
In the U.S., which has universal elementary education and compulsory school attendance, "whatever boost was provided by preschool fades to the vanishing point during the early grades because the schools themselves fail to sustain it."
In the Third World . . .
Soul of a black/Latino teacher
José Luis Vilson, a middle-school math teacher in New York City (and a blogger), writes about race, class, and education in This Is Not A Test.
"The heart of education lies in the relationship between teacher and student," writes Leo Casey in a review in Dissent. "This Is Not A Test bears witness to the enduring vitality of that relationship."
Vilson grew up in a poor "drug-tainted" neighborhood in the city, earned a computer science degree and became a math teacher for black and brown students.
He faces the challenges of his students' poverty, troubled families and violent neighborhoods. He also copes with incompetent administrators. At one point, a supervisor "threatened him with an unsatisfactory evaluation not because of his teaching, but because she disliked the aesthetics of his classroom bulletin board."
'Hold Fast to Dreams'
Hold Fast to Dreams follows 10 low-income students and their counselor "through the college application process and the four years that follow."
One girl wrote a personal essay about "sharing one room with three siblings, living in a two-bedroom apartment with seven people. Hearing and seeing fights, gunshots all night, yelling and screaming every day."
Her mother's attempted suicide forced Chiquita to ignore her own needs. "All that year, I was so focused on my mother, I forgot how to be a kid, I forgot about Chiquita, how the simplest things in life make me smile."
Many students resisted writing about painful memories. "Why would anyone be interested in this?" some said, or "I don't want people feeling sorry for me." For most students, maintaining their poise meant blocking out the images that reminded them of their vulnerability.
Angelica Moore, a high-achieving and charismatic student, revealed that her self-possession was "all a front" for her insecurity. "I was always told since I was younger not to show my weakness because people will take advantage of it. It's better to walk around with my head high and make it seem like I have it together."
Getting into college isn't the challenge for these students. It's succeeding once they get there.
Preschool for kids, training for moms
Low-income mothers in Tulsa are encouraged to send their children to Head Start — and train for better jobs, reports NPR's Eric Westervelt.
WESTERVELT: Two dozen students, all women, settle into long white tables and stiff metal chairs in a classroom at Tulsa Community College's downtown campus. . . . It's a required monthly seminar for the program Career Advance. Topics include resume building and basic finances. This week: Workplace Etiquette 101. Be on time, eye contact, firm handshake, basic hygiene.
Career Advance, run by the nonprofit Community Action Project of Tulsa or CAP, links low-income parents with education, career training in health care fields.
Consuela Houessou came to Tulsa from Benin about a decade ago. She works weekends as a nurse's assistant, but hopes to become a registered nurse. She compares her grades with her children. "I get A's today, what did you get?"
Helping parents helps children, says Steven Dow, CAP Tulsa's executive director.
WESTERVELT: It's heading for 8:30 a.m. at a bustling headstart center in East Tulsa and 32-year-old Tiffany Contreras is late to drop off her 4-year-old daughter. The on-time kids play with blocks, puzzles and books on the carpet while a teacher prepares a cereal breakfast.
8:45, still no Tiffany Contreras. Her daily juggle is on – four kids, a commute, classes, homework and meetings. Her husband, the father of her two youngest, works the night shift coating gas pipes and airplane parts at an industrial paint shop. 8:50, she finally arrives. Adding to Tiffany's hectic mix this week, a dinner gone wrong nearly torched her kitchen.
TIFFANY CONTRERAS: A pan of grease caught on fire. It ruined my stove a couple of my cabinets. Thankfully, no one was hurt. The story of my life. Always something.
Many women in Career Advance go from one crisis to another, says staffer Megan Oehlke. "It's my car died. I had a house fire. We had an unexpected stabbing in our family last week. My mom is hospitalized. She does all my child care. It's all of those things together that they're trying to figure out how to finagle, and still be successful in school."
In Watts, it's easier to be a teen mom than a student
In Watts, there's lots of support for teen mothers, but very little help for college students who've avoided pregnancy, writes a young community college student. She lives with her ailing grandmother in a subsidized apartment. If the grandmother dies, the childless student will be evicted.
2014: It's time for universal proficiency!
It's 2014: All students will be proficient in reading and math, Mike Petrilli reminds us. It's the law!
Each State shall establish a timeline for adequate yearly progress. The timeline shall ensure that not later than 12 years after the end of the 2001–2002 school year, all students in each group described in subparagraph (C)(v) will meet or exceed the State's proficient level of academic achievement.
– No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, section 1111(2)(F)
The next time someone talks about all students being college and career ready, a highly effective teacher in every classroom or eradicating childhood poverty, remember "universal proficiency by 2014," Petrilli suggests.
The No Child Left Behind generation — today's 11th graders started school after the law passed — are doing better he writes.
NCLB kids were fourth graders in 2007:
Reading scores for the lowest-performing students and for black and Hispanic students all shot up four points (almost half a grade) over 2002's baseline and math scores went up a whopping five points for all students, for white students, and for Hispanic students over a 2003 baseline, and black scores rocketed an incredible six points.
And in 2011, as eighth graders:
Reading scores for the lowest-performing students and for black students shot up four points over 2007's baseline, while Hispanic students gained five points, and math scores were up three points over 2007, with Hispanic students gaining five points.
Yet just a third of the NCLB Generation had become proficient readers by the eighth grade. For Blacks and Hispanics, it was 15 and 19 percent, respectively. The results for mathematics were just a few points higher.
Still, these incremental gains add up to about half a year of extra learning, on average, writes Petrilli. That's not enough, but it's something.
Next time around, the goals should be high but achievable, writes Petrilli. For example, in the next six years, let's try to get the national average to the level already achieved by Massachusetts students.
Education in Indian Country
Education Week looks at Education in Indian Country, specifically the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, home to the Oglala Lakota Nation. Alcoholism is common. Even those who finish high school find few jobs on the reservation.
In California's San Bernardino Mountains, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians is spending millions of casino revenue to build and run a K-9 school with small classes and up-to-date technology.
Twice a week, tribal elders teach native languages through traditional "bird songs," which "tell stories, often from the perspectives of birds, of journeys that the Cahuilla people would take from their desert and mountain homes and about the creation of the natural world."
Each tribe member gets a share of casino profits. (Adults must earn a high school diploma or GED to qualify.) Nobody is poor. The tribe hopes to reverse " decades of low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and low rates of college attendance and graduation for its children."

As luck would have it, we have several tools available:
· RPCPing.exe; thoughtfully supplied by the very same RPC team that gave us the RPC over HTTP protocol, you'll find it included in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools.
· WinHttpTraceCfg; this tool, which is also part of Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools, allows you to control WinHTTP tracing to better understand the errors seen at the client.
· HTTP_Test.wsf; (ISATools.org) although it can't "do" RPC, HTTP_Test provides a secondary method of validating the HTTP protocol handling for the traffic path under test and because it also uses WinHTTP, can be debugged using the same tracing as for RPCPing.exe
1. To test Exchange RPC services, we must specify the Exchange RPC port. If you do not provide this information to RPCPing, it will use the value of 593.
2. RPCPing does not allow the user to specify non-standard ports for HTTP or HTTPS connections. HTTP_Test has no such limitation.
3. Testing the HTTP bridging scenarios require that you enable Basic (clear-text) authentication over HTTP in the related ISA Web Listener. This option exists in the Advanced properties of the web listener Authentication tab.
**Remember to revert this change on production ISA Servers before placing them back in public service**
4. If you wish to examine the traffic in unencrypted form between ISA and the RPC Proxy server, you must:
a. Configure ISA to send the traffic on HTTP only. If you configure the web listener to accept both HTTP and SSL and the rule is configured to redirect using both HTTP and SSL client connects using SSL, ISA will redirect using SSL.
b. Apply the RPC Proxy SSL Offload settings from this TechNet article. Exchange 2007 provides this as part of the Client Access options for the server.
c. Manually disable "Require Secure Channel" in the /RPC Virtual Directory (see IIS help for instructions).
d. Include the RPCPing -q option to suppress the "insecure auth method" warning produced for the combination of -F 2 (no SSL) and -H 1 (Basic auth) options. You can eliminate this if you want to respond to these prompts.
5. If your test client is operating from behind another proxy, you may have to add the following option:
RPCPing: -R ProxyFqdnOrIp:Port (RpcPing will attempt to authenticate using the interactive login)
HTTP_Test: /proxy:ProxyFqdnOrIp:Port /prxuser:Domain\Account /prxpass:Password
6. If you have configured the ISA listener for NTLM authentication, you need to replace H 1 with H 2 in each RPCPing example. Note that using NTLM authentication for ISA means that only Kerberos Constrained Delegation is possible
7. WinHTTPTraceCfg need only be executed twice during the testing; once when you start testing and once more when you end testing. While it may be interesting to see how many times WinHTTP is used when you're not looking, this can fill up the drive with unnecessary files if you leave it enabled when not testing.
When WinHTTP tracing is enabled, each execution of RPCPing or HTTP_Test will produce a new WinHTTP log file in accordance with the settings you define using WinHttpTraceCfg.
winhttptracecfg -l c:\ -d 0 -s 1 -t 1 -m 131072
Note: the -l option specifies the log file prefix. In this example, it logs to C:\. You should choose a logging location to suit your test client.

Successful: -- Request for https://RpcProxyFqdn/rpc/rpcproxy.dll?RpcServerFqdn:6001 produced HTTP Response 200 'OK'
In order to test the Exchange RPC service directly, you have to allow RPCPing to use the RPC Endpoint Mapper and query the chosen interface for its state. To do this, you have to specify the UUID of the desired interface using the "-f" option. In the case of Exchange RPC, we have these defined in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 831051.
RPCPing -t ncacn_ip_tcp -s RpcServerFqdn -f a4f1db00-ca47-1067-b31f-00dd010662da,0 -u 10 -a connect -v 3 -I "Account,Domain,Password!"
RPCPing -t ncacn_ip_tcp -s RpcServerFqdn -f f5cc5a18-4264-101a-8c59-08002b2f8426,56 -u 10 -a connect -v 3 -I "Account,Domain,Password!"
To test the whole of Exchange RPC over HTTP connectivity via the RPCPing utility, you could loop the command as shown:
for %i in (6001 6002 6004) do RPCPing -t ncacn_http -s win2k3-5 -e %i -P "Account,Domain,Password" -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyFqdn -P "Account,Domain,Password" -H 1 -u 10 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -B msstd:RpcProxyFqdn
To test the whole of Exchange RPC over HTTP connectivity via the HTTP_Test script, you would loop the command as shown:
for %i in (6001 6002 6004) do cscript HTTP_Test.wsf /url:https://RpcProxyFqdn/Rpc/rpcproxy.dll?RpcServerFqdn:%i /action:RPC_IN_DATA /svruser:Domain\Account /svrpass:Password
To test the whole of Exchange RPC over TCP connectivity via the RPCPing utility, you could loop the command as shown:
Ok; so now we know how to acquire and use some neato-keen tools and while things are working properly, all is good. It's when things turn sour that we actually need to understand some common failures states and the techniques used to determine the cause and corrective actions. This is also when we want both tools in our toolkit. Fortunately, the tools' names spell out their strengths and limitations. RPCPing.exe is an excellent tool for validating RPC connectivity, but it falls a bit short of the mark for HTTP protocol validation. Likewise, HTTP_Test.wsf is a great tool for testing the HTTP side of things, but has no RPC intelligence at all. Between the two of them, we can isolate most common problems and in both cases, WinHttpTraceCfg is our best friend.
As always, "use the logs!" ISA Live Monitoring combined with observation of the various error codes provided by RPCPing, WinHTTP and HTTP_Test as well as the IIS and WinHTTP tracing logs will most often lead you directly to the error point. We'll address the most common errors in the following sections.
I'm a firm believer in the concept of "user-inserted problems" and no one is more dangerous than the "IT pro". IT pros have the unique ability to inflict the greatest damage with the least effort of anyone in the office. Thus, this needs to be the *first place* we look when determining the problem source.
Outlook can sometimes send you off in the wrong direction when it appears to connect via RPC over HTTP internally, but not externally. What's interesting in this case is that even though you have configured Outlook as show below,
Fig. 9
Outlook may in fact not be using RPC over HTTP internally. This is because (as indicated in the option text) when Outlook cannot connect using RPC over HTTP, it will fall back on RPC over TCP (MAPI). Internally, this will make it seem as if RPC over HTTP is functional, when in fact it is not. You can verify the protocol used by Outlook this way:
1. Hold down the <CTRL> key and right-click the system tray Outlook icon
2. Click Connection Status
..and you'll see a dialog similar to this:
Fig. 10
The "Conn" column will hold one of three values ("HTTP", "HTTPS" or "TCP/IP") for each server connection. If the "Conn" column shows "TCP/IP", then Outlook is not using RPC over HTTP. You can disable this fallback mechanism by setting the following registry value (you will have to create it if it doesn't exist):
Outlook 2003
Outlook 2007
Name DisableRpcTcpFallback
Type DWORD
Value 1
Any time you have to test a protocol path, it's frequently useful to break it up into manageable pieces. RPCPing allows us to do exactly this by using a specific command-line syntax. Whether you start your testing from the External Client or RPC Client is completely up to you, but you should make this decision based on the errors that started the testing in the first place. IOW, a connection failure to the ISA Server itself is not likely to be resolved by testing RPC over TCP.
Fig. 11
This is the most common starting point for testing RPC over HTTP when ISA Server is involved, since it has the ability to validate the entire traffic and authentication process from a single location (when things are working).
Fig 12
Connecting directly to the RPC Proxy can prove useful when you need to (dis)prove ISA as a failure point in the traffic path. If the test through ISA fails, but testing directly to the RPC Proxy succeeds, then you probably have to examine your ISA configuration for errors. Because the RpcProxyFqdn can (and frequently will) be different internally and externally, you should verify your command-line syntax before blaming ISA or the RPC Proxy. In both of the above scenarios, only the HTTP-based RPCPing syntax is used.
The command-line options that will normally change between internal and external RPC Proxy testing are:
- RPCPing:
o -F (according to the protocol defined between ISA and the RPC Proxy)
o -q (not required for HTTPS)
o -B (if the RPC Proxy FQDN differs from the ISA external FQDN)
- HTTP_Test:
o /url: (according to the protocol defined between ISA and the RPC Proxy)
- Both:
o RpcProxyFqdn (if the RPC Proxy FQDN differs from the ISA external FQDN)
Fig 13
In this scenario, only RPC over TCP is appropriate, since the RPC services themselves cannot accept HTTP traffic. In this case, you'll have to use the RPCPing RPC over TCP command-line examples, even if the RPC Proxy and the RPC Server represent the same machine.
We'll continue this discussion in part 3 where I'll provide some common failure points and the most common resolution steps for each.
Happy testing,

I had the same questions for my small server group. After poking around and finally asking Apple Enterprise Support, here is what I learned:
- The on/off switch for Address Book in Server does just what it says, turns the service on and off.
- Actual setup of the server is in the HTML documentation; The most critical element that you must setup by command line is the hostname. The clients will find the server without this, but it will be slow and the refresh and timeouts will bog down the network.
- sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:ServerHostName = "Hostname"
- https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/#apd7123E6B1-548D-4780-A708- 3CCFDF1C28A5
- Mountain Lion Address Book Server is basically your personal iCloud Contacts server. For each user configured in the Server you can populate an Address Book and share it. There isn't really a server/client relationship here, so your "fake" user will come in handy again. Like iCloud, if the user account accesses a particular Contacts list, they have full access to view and edit anything in that Contacts. There are no secure groups, no secure contacts, no preferences... These would fall under the CardDAV Delegates protocol, which isn't implemented by Apple's Address Book (and I couldn't find anything hidden to turn it on. Anyone else? sudo serveradmin settings addressbook).
- There appears to be some attempt to solve this through Profile Manager, but, like everything in Profile Manager, it doesn't work.
- Since the Mountain Lion Address Book Server is providing CardDAV service, it is accessible by any CardDAV client, including past OS X versions of Contacts/Address Book.
- Directory services Address Book information is not editable by anyone except the sysadmin. This information is populated automatically with any data added to the User's account in Server. In practice, there are other discussions here and on the net where this information has been added to directly through the Directory manager for contacts other than Server Users. This doesn't help with granting limited permissions, however, since only the Server manager can edit this information.
So, how do you populate a server address book?
After turning on Address Book Server in the Server manager and configuring the hostname using the command line, add a CardDAV account to your client. Contacts ->Preferences -> Accounts -> +
- Account type: CardDAV
- User name: (any Server user)
- Password: (that user's password)
- Server address: hostname of your server
If you populate this address book, then configure the same exact account in another client, it will populate with the same addresses. Like iCloud, if you want a group to share Contacts, you'll need a shared UID, another "User" for the sole purpose of sharing data.

This is super frustrating.
ML Server v2.21 on OSX 10.8.2
Contacts switched to ON
Command line set up with
>sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:ServerHostName = hostname.local<
Client set up:-
Client: username
Password: users password
Server: hostname.local
No contacts visible.
Any help from anyone that has actually got this going would be great.

Is the client at least making a connection? You should see activity in the log.
What contacts do you expect to see? It will start with none. You need to feed it contacts via AddressBook.
Guy Hollister Feb 26, 2013 6:51 PM
in response to UptimeJeff
Yup it is.
I filled the Server with a stack of contacts. Synced from Google Apps - they filled in fine via a Google Sync. Copied them all to the local Address book [On my mac] location [[which is not my mac, but is the server of course]].
I did that so in the event that I did locate the contacts it would double the chances of finding them ! lol. As there is next to zero info on how to set this up for real from Apple Support. Although I would love to be corrected on that.

Just realised this servers OD domain is server.local while the Host Name is outlineserver.local
Is that bad ? I really need to know more about Open Directory.
kristin119 Feb 27, 2013 12:28 PM
in response to Guy Hollister
Yes, Guy, that is a problem.
After first setting up my server, support would repeatededly go back to DNS for every question I had. As I have learned, they were right, and every problem I had can trace back to two things:
1. Is the DNS set up correctly
2. Is Open Directory set up correctly
FYI, the server setup wizard for DNS is wrong by default. Even support failed to see the error; it looked wrong to me, somehow, but took me six months to figure out *what* was wrong. (by default the domain is "myserver.private" instead of domain "private" with hostname "myserver.private".)
You should take another look at your hostnames. In the beginning you say the server is "hostname.local" while you now have "server.local" and "outlineserver.local." While that is fine for discussion, in reality you should name them somthing unique, such as characters from your favorite novel, planets, sports teams, whatever. Just don't make the names generic or you won't keep them straight.
While we're at it, you don't want a .local suffix for anything you are setting up - that's a tip from Apple Support and appears on one of their support pages as well. That suffix is used to identify devices on your network for Bonjour. Anything you set up on purpose should either have a real, registered domain, "mydomain.com" or such, or be unique; .private is the default, but smarter minds recommend something made up, like .happy.
It sounds like your question should be referred to a wider server audience, not this little thread on AddressBook.
Guy Hollister Feb 27, 2013 1:18 PM
in response to kristin119
Many thanks Kristin... I knew it was as soon as I spotted it.
The first reference to what I had called it was simply to not tell the world the name of it. Hardly a problem though really doing so !
I fully agree with you on unique names for things like that although clients being designers want things named boringly.
Ok sounds like i need to be talking direct to Apple Server support.
Many thanks for your help.
Guy Hollister Mar 18, 2013 6:33 PM

Just spent an hour on the line to Apple Enterprise.
He suggested I fully reinstall the Server. He also advised that your idea for sharing a User CardDAV accross clients will result in a utterly corrupted Address Book database and or client Address Books - resulting in meltdown - so to speak.
1 Day later...
Having now fully reinstalled OSX ML ... and resetup the Server from scratch... after speaking to Apple they advise... its a bad idea to use 1 User to share contacts across a network... and will lead to corruption of the address book and or the acocunt using it. So we won't be doing that.
Google Apps support advises they do not have a solution that is any good for sharing contacts in any centralised form across google Apps user accounts. Although they did point me to a few contacts sharing marketplace locations for doing that - having now tested and tried both solutions with no success whatsoever.
Anyone that has managed to locate a work solution to sharing contacts form one Address Book - through users accounts - I would love to know about it.
Tangier Clarke1 Mar 20, 2013 3:11 PM
in response to Guy Hollister
Guy, thanks for the update from Apple. My question is though - what is the correct setup then. Is the only way to use it correctly is to just have users accounts have their own set of contacts and Contacts Server essentially hunt down the contact needed by looking in every user account? This is so problematic. This also begates the point of having shared contact lists that we all contribute to / pull from.
Here at the office I did set up that one user account that we're all connected to. Now I have to find another way. Yikes, now I want to go back to DayLite.
Would love to hear what the correct way is to use contacts server.
Guy Hollister Mar 20, 2013 5:34 PM
in response to Tangier Clarke1
No problem. It's a misnoma.
The Contacts service on an OSX Server is designed to do one thing. Contain and deliver the "Users" & "User Groups" of Domain Contacts to those users Contacts apps running in the network.
Contacts like names and addresses of companies and people outside the domain are understood to be personal to the user and not shared. Hello - this is the real world !
Google Apps - who I convert every company I support over to - do provide "shared contacts" feature - but its average to rubbish. I have raised the issue with them to build it !!
Short of a smarter solution - I am now looking at:-
A Local User contacts file per user [for personal contacts]
- not shared but Sync'ed with Google Apps so available offsite
A Local Company Contacts file per user [for company contacts]
- not shared but Sync'ed with Google Apps so available offsite
The Users could edit their company contacts but that would be unwise, smarter for one person to make the edits or additions to any info and then once a month that file gets deleted from the local Macs and an up to date version imported.
The Groups section available down the left hand side of the Contacts window [only by a menu selection] would be ONLY split up using smart folders. This would save alot of hassle - smart folders set to search on Company domain name [is how i do it] - would bring in all the branches of that company etc... making it dead easy to find people and contact details.
People randomly creating a contact and saving it... but not knowing where to... would be a thing of the past. Get it right or lose the contact !

ABSTRACT: Single shot vaccines of tetanus toxoid (TT) were manufactured using the NanoMix process - a low temperature solvent free encapsulation technology using supercritical fluids. The formulations were injected into mice, and compared to multiple injections of a commercially available alum adsorbed TT vaccine. After 5 months the antibody titres were found to be similar for both the alum adsorbed and microparticle formulations, demonstrating for the first time the potential of formulating antigens in PLA microparticles using the supercritical fluid (NanoMix) technique to produce single shot vaccines. The results are likely to be due to the maintenance of toxoid bioactivity and some degree of sustained release of the encapsulated antigens, resulting in repeated stimulation of antigen presenting cells eliminating the need for multiple immunisations. This demonstrates the potential of this supercritical fluid processing technique to reduce the need for booster doses in a vaccine regimen.
Article: Surface Modification of Microspheres with Steric Stabilizing and Cationic Polymers for Gene Delivery[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we describe surface modification of poly( D,L-lactide- co-glycolide) (PLG) microspheres, intended for DNA vaccine application, with two functionalities: a steric stabilizing component, provided by poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and a cationic component, aimed at subsequent DNA surface loading. The cationic functionality arises from polycations, such as PEI, poly( L-lysine), trimethyl chitosan, and (dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, introduced into the water phase of classical oil-in-water (o/w) solvent evaporation method of PLG microsphere fabrication. By systematic evaluation of production variables, a system was produced with balanced properties in terms of microsphere size appropriate for uptake by antigen presenting (e.g., dendritic) cells, colloidal stability, and relatively high DNA loading. The polycation (PEI) molecular weight and preparation concentration were both found to increase the surface polycation content and DNA binding capacity; however, they lead to an increased tendency for aggregation, particularly when the microsphere size was decreased. DNA loading of almost 100% efficiency was achieved under optimized conditions in physiologically acceptable buffers, resulting in a surface DNA loading appropriate for vaccine purposes. A further increase in surface DNA loading was however associated with an increase in the particles negative potential, indicating the surface presence of DNA charges not neutralized by the polycation and hence potentially not protected from in vivo enzymatic degradation. The internalization of surface-loaded DNA into the target cells was confirmed by monitoring fluorescent DNA after the microspheres were endocytosed by the cells in culture.

Article: Applications of supercritical CO2 in the fabrication of polymer systems for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 60:373[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Supercritical CO(2) has the potential to be an excellent environment within which controlled release polymers and dry composites may be formed. The low temperature and dry conditions within the fluid offer obvious advantages in the processing of water, solvent or heat labile molecules. The low viscosity and high diffusivity of scCO(2) offer the possibility of novel processing routes for polymer drug composites, but there are still technical challenges to overcome. Moreover, the low solubility of most drug molecules in scCO(2) presents both challenges and advantages. This review explores the current methods that use high pressure and scCO(2) for the production of drug delivery systems and the more specialized application of the fluid in the formation of highly porous tissue engineering scaffolds.

ABSTRACT: A vaccine against the human hookworm Necator americanus is urgently required to reduce hookworm-induced morbidity in endemic areas. In the present study, recombinant hookworm calreticulin, a nominated vaccine candidate, has been tested in mice. Mice given calreticulin had 43-49% fewer worms in their lungs, compared to non-vaccinated controls, following challenge infection with infective hookworm larvae. These levels of protection were achieved in the absence of adjuvant following intraperitoneal administration of three doses of 15 microg antigen. Antigen was also encapsulated in PLG microparticles. Encapsulated calreticulin elicited higher levels of anti-calreticulin IgG1 than free antigen but failed to induce protective immunity. The protection induced by free calreticulin was associated with low levels of serum IgE and moderate lung eosinophilia whilst administration of calreticulin-loaded microparticles was associated with high levels of serum IgE and higher lung eosinophil activity, suggesting that the classical Th2 phenotype may not always be associated with protective immunity, albeit in experimental necatoriasis.
Article: The production of protein-loaded microparticles by supercritical fluid enhanced mixing and spraying[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, we use supercritical carbon dioxide as a processing medium for the fabrication of poly(DL-lactic acid) P(DLLA) microparticles that encapsulate a protein material. We have previously demonstrated that this polymer and a dry powder of a protein can be mixed under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions (above 31.1 degrees C and 73.8 bar) and that the protein component retains its biological activity. In this paper, we progress the work to demonstrate that the plasticized polymer and dry powder protein mixture can be sprayed to form solid polymer particles that encapsulate the protein. Particle size range is between 10 and 300 microm after spraying. Ribonuclease A and lysozyme were encapsulated in the polymer without significant loss of enzymatic activity. Biological assays of insulin and calcitonin confirm retention of activity after fabrication of the microparticles and release of the peptides/proteins.

How Cities Can Create and Deliver Infrastructure Value
Last month, Siemens, PwC and Berwin Leighton Paisner launched the Investor Ready Cities study, looking into the present-day state of infrastructure investment in cities and exploring what private investors need to participate in city infrastructure financing projects, the basic principles of land use and investment, and how cities can capture the benefits associated with development.
Our three global businesses came together to write this report because we all witness the same issues in our work in cities around the world. As such, we all believe that there is an overwhelming need for major infrastructure common to all, and that if cities are to transform themselves at the rate needed to tackle some of the most pressing issues brought about by urbanisation, a swift pace of development is crucial.
However, cities need to be empowered to make the right decisions. They often need to be guided through a process which starts with creating a vision for the city and developing a plan for its future, and the infrastructure needed for its operation. They also need to understand the complexities of infrastructure implementation to identify the right solution.
But to deliver this infrastructure, cities must consider the broader context in which infrastructure investments occur. Nearly all cities have limited access to funds or ways of financing projects and as such are becoming more reliant on the private sector to help them access financing, and to leverage more sophisticated financing mechanisms.
A key aim of the study is to illustrate how cities can work with more sophisticated forms of financing to deliver their infrastructure, and what they need to do to create confidence in the private sector.
Cities must be prepared to innovate with the private sector, they must be prepared to consider international financing options or use methods which capture the value of the infrastructure being delivered.
We realise that if cities are to successfully deliver infrastructure in today's environment, they first need to put in place the necessary foundations. The purpose of the Investor Ready Cities study is to set out some of these fundamental building blocks to allow cities to participate in the marketplace and compete for those investment funds. Those building blocks include:
- The need for good governance and the rule of law
- Institutional stability
- The necessary legal frameworks, operated with transparency, allowing for evidence based decision making
All of these create confidence for the private investor community, and with these foundations in place, cities can then leverage financial mechanisms to their advantage.
Included in the report are seven global case studies which illustrate the principles of the report – each of which demonstrates the significant and often catalytic role of infrastructure in an urban environment. They demonstrate the need for leadership, visioning and plan making, and the importance of governance in harnessing financing. Five of those case studies are presented in the infographic below.
Cities that are not underpinned by robust legal and governance frameworks will have limited ability to attract much-needed investment as well as the potential funding sources available to them. As the case studies demonstrate, it is through the effective utilisation of this capacity that integrated urban strategies yield potentially spectacular results.
A city's ability to deliver infrastructure for sustainable and effective growth is intrinsically linked to its ability to attract and retain capital – both human and financial capital. At a time when competition for resources is intense, the ability to attract that capital will define a city's success.
This is an evolving area that we will continue to work on. I welcome your comments on the study and our work in this area.

Thread: Describe the Parents
May 2nd, 2014 01:12 AM #1
Describe the Parents
It's a take on "Describe the Child," but instead of describing the child and the next poster posts a name, you describe the parents and the next poster posts a sibset, and so on. Here's an example:
Poster 1: Two lawyers. The father loves to play golf in his spare time, and the mother enjoys reading Jane Austen. They have 4 children, 3 girls and a boy. The two oldest are in college and the other two are in high school.
Poster 2: Catherine Lucy "Kate"
Heather Jane "Jane"
William George "Will"
Anne Louisa "Annie Lou"
And 2 adds the next description, and so on. I'll start.
A young mother in her twenties, who was a photographer before she had children. Her husband is an architect. She has two children, one is 7 and one is 5. She has a passion for gardening, and homeschooled the kids.Jude, blackbird.

Atticus River and Charlotte Opal (both first names are after famous lawyers, well Atticus is fictional... and middles are nature!)
Mother's in their mid-thirties. They have been married for 10 years and have adopted 3 kids. The mom that they call 'Mama' is very laid back and fun. She is a Biology teacher. The mom they call 'mom' is a little more strict. She is an accountant, and although she is harsher, she spoils the kids all the time. Both moms enjoy running and reading.

Conor Sage, Hallie Rose, & Bethany Grace.
The mother is a brain surgeon at the local hospital but enjoys spending time with her daughters when she can--their favorite activity is tea parties. She's a little strict, but loving and caring and enjoys sipping tea on the porch when she's not on-call. The father works from home to care for the girls since the mother's schedule is never set in time. He's a big reader and the best chef you'll ever meet.
June 23rd, 2014 01:18 AM #7
Britta Avery, Oriana Lee "Ori," and Daneel Emilie.
Both parents are trying to raise their children to be creative and intelligent. The mother is a well-known author, but works in an art museum. She is shy, and often engaged in her own thoughts. The father is a lawyer, and he is very engaged in his work. Both parents are abstract thinkers, and not very strict. They have fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, and an older and younger daughter.RACHEL

If the op professess to be a Roman Catholic...he is a lying fraud....he is a pre Vatican 2 relic at best.
ignore him. WE true Catholics don't exclude anyone of faith! We don't profess that it is our way or the hell way.
I went to a Catholic university. I know my damn religion. You fraud! (um...directed at the op)

As for Jesus Christ... I believe it was Pope Leo X who said something along the lines of "It has served us well, this myth of Christ." Which I think pretty much sums up the the greatest corporate entity known to humanity... The Catholic Church.

Just my opinion of course.

I've seen more than a few boxes of Do-Si-Dos and Samoas around lately. It's hard to look askance at the Girl Scouts when there's so much sweetness in the air. But there is reason for keeping the Girl Scouts out of the "mom and apple pie" category. For one thing, the organization has a think tank, a nongovernmental organization and a welcome mat out to Planned Parenthood.
At a meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women this month, the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides held a session for young people in which the International Planned Parenthood Federation distributed a brochure about living with HIV titled "Healthy, Happy and Hot." (Gratitude to U.N. watchdogs like C-FAM for keeping an eye out for such nefarious nonsense.)
The brochure sets itself up as a feel-good guide for dangerous behavior. "Young people living with HIV may feel that sex is just not an option, but don't worry -- many young people living with HIV live healthy, fun, happy and sexually fulfilling lives. You can, too, if you want to! Things get easier (and sex can get even better) as you become more comfortable with your status."
And since there is considerable sexual advice offered, advice on "safe abortion" naturally follows in the brochure.
This presentation served as a backdrop for a joint statement from the several U.N. organizations making up the U.N. Adolescent Girls Task Force. The task force declares its support for programs "that empower ... adolescent girls, particularly those aged 10 to 14 years." No innocence preserved.
The United Nations doesn't surprise me so much, but the Girl Scouts continue to greatly disappoint. About a decade ago, I wrote a piece for National Review called "The Cookie Crumbles," about things that could surprise moms and dads helping their daughter work on her Brownie badges. While the Boy Scouts have been under attack by politically correct watchdogs, the Girl Scouts have escaped censure by embracing leftist politics, reproductive permissiveness and secularism. It's been a long slide to sex-prep work for the U.N.
The Girl Scouts aren't shy about the causes they embrace. A 2008 post-election survey of girls and boys between 13 and 17 initiated by the Girl Scouts' think tank, the Girl Scout Research Institute, found overwhelming support for then President-elect Barack Obama, and noted concern for a laundry list of international and domestic issues, including the war in Iraq, the economy and "the difficulties women face in reaching leadership positions in our country."

The ban prevents the polygamous from marrying their chosen partners just as the prohibition of same-sex marriage deprives gays of that freedom. Josh can't marry Zack; Michael can't marry Katie and Nicole. If the right to marry encompasses the former, why not the latter?
Gays argue, correctly, that they can't be expected to change their inborn sexual orientation to get married. But polygamists can assert that monogamy is impossible for them -- and, judging from the prevalence of sexual infidelity, for most people.
Nor does the polygamy ban solve any problems. Men can already have sex with multiple females, produce offspring with them and furnish them with financial support. Former NFL running back Travis Henry has nine children by nine different women.
Prohibiting polygamy does nothing to prevent such conduct. It just keeps people who want to do it responsibly from operating within an established legal framework.
That's why I would legalize polygamy as well as same-sex marriage. But it's one thing to believe those changes would make sound policy and entirely another to think that the Constitution requires either -- especially when California, which passed Proposition 8, has granted gay couples access to most of the rights afforded by marriage.
The decision may very well lead the Supreme Court to rule in favor of same-sex marriage. If so, it would be the most polarizing decision since Roe v. Wade in 1973, which we are still fighting about.
It would spark a furious backlash from Americans who, whatever their views about homosexuality, think such decisions belong with them and their elected representatives. It could even lead to a constitutional amendment overturning the decision.
Thanks to Judge Walker, the debate is no longer about whether gays deserve protection from the law, a debate they were steadily winning. It is more about whether democratic processes should be trusted to resolve the question. That's a debate they are likely to lose.

Best Roller Derby Team (2013)
Mile High Club
There are now eight Colorado-based roller derby leagues sanctioned by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association, and the Denver Roller Dolls was the best of them in 2012, by far: DRD's Mile High Club all-star team took second at the 2012 "Bay of Reckoning" West Region Playoffs in Richmond, California, in September, and third at the 2012 WFTDA National Championships in Atlanta. The team is currently ranked second in the world, according to the new WFTDA rankings calculator. The league, which expanded this year with the addition of a fourth home team, the orange-and-blue-clad Orange Crushers, will also host the new Colorado Cup tournament April 27-28.

El Galope Horse FarmColonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
Lovely. Great to see the sunset and be in contact with the animals. Clean, quiet. Mr. Michael and Ms. Monica are treated very well, and horseback riding is essential. The taxi service was ultrapontual. It is a few kilometers from the center of Nueva Helvetia (captive cheeses), and access to Colonia del Sacramento is not difficult (10 taxi minutes plus 50 minutes by bus).
Destino26Montevideo, Uruguay
The hostel is in a nice street in Pocitos. It is excellent for those who want to enjoy the beach and local restaurants.

They have computers with Internet access at reception, but try not to use after midnight because it prevents the reception. Whether guests arrive at the hotel late and need to send news back home. In the rooms, a warning that we may be punished if we sleep in a bed other than that indicated. (Ok, it is reasonable to have marked bed. The threat is only a symptom of lack of sympathy of the staff). I check out on July 31, 10:30. On the 30th I went to Venice and arrived too late at the hotel. On t
