Web accessibility standards allow people with disabilities to use your web site or web application through the use of text cues, keyboard navigation, and mouse alternatives. Assistive technology, such as screen readers, interpret the information and instructions on the site. Web developers are looking now to the latest guidelines, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#guidelines), to make sure their web sites are friendly and useful to all visitors. A web application that is compliant with WCAG 2.0 meets these standards of accessibility:
- It is perceivable. To be perceivable, a web application must provide content and a user interface that allows assistive technology to find the necessary components and present them to the user. Providing text alternatives for images is one example of a perceivable component.
- It is operable. An operable application can be run entirely from a keyboard, allows time-based and moving components to be paused or stopped, minimizes flashing elements, and provides easy ways for users to navigate through content and find their place.
- It is understandable. An application is understandable if it provides ways for assistive technology to interpret the content in the native language, including any specialized terms. It also provides help for using the application and in recovering from errors. An understandable application also behaves consistently on similar pages, doesn't change the context without warning, and labels items in the same way throughout.
- It is robust. A robust application is coded in a way that the tagging, naming, and properties for all components can be determined programmatically.
- The WebSphere Portal theme templates incorporate the use of WAI-ARIA, the Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification. WAI-ARIA navigation regions allow assistive technology to communicate the section of navigation links to a user who cannot see what is on the screen.
- Web Content Manager has many reusable elements that allow you to define consistent accessibility techniques throughout a site. You can modify standard elements such as image, link, and file resource elements to add instructions for keyboard navigation and WAI-ARIA attributes.
- Web Experience Factory Designer uses a variety of builders, templates, and design techniques to enable developers to create accessible applications.

I'm running a network with 3 Linux servers and about 50 users and I'm looking into ZCS as a groupware product.
The current setup has:
* OpenLDAP as central account DB (for samba, mailserver, RADIUS, intranet, ...)
* Samba as fileserver, printerserver, PDC
* Sendmail with Spam and Virus filters, distributed on two servers (external mail-relay, internal mail server)
* Cyrus IMAP server with shared folders, various sieve filter scripts, ...
* Project-based mail-addresses with direct delivery into sub-mailboxes
* Currently about 120GB of mails in the Cyrus DB
* Web-based administration software (GOsa)
* PostgreSQL database
* OpenGroupware
* Apache for several intranet web applications
I'm now asking myself how ZCS would fit into this setup. It looks like ZCS brings it's own LDAP server and directory structure, has it's own MTA and mail database etc. so I would have to kill OpenLDAP, Cyrus IMAP, and all the setup, configuration and utilities grown in the past couple of years. Am I correct?
How intrusive would ZCS then be? What about the user account data (including Samba MTA) in the LDAP database? What about the directory structure itself (where the samba configuration depends on, for instance)?
What about the Sieve filter scripts and special mail delivery configurations?
What about addresses, calendar, projects and tasks currently stored in the OpenGroupware database?
So these are a lot of questions I'm currently thinking about and I don't know if I'd like the answers.
Has anyone already accomplished a similar transition?
I'm new to ZCS and as you can see from the setup above I'm rather "old-scool" and used to modular, separate servers like Sendmail, Cyrus IMAP server, OpenLDAP, Apache, etc.
Any comments from people who have done such a migration are appreciated!

Ricker Polsdorfer, MD
The mitral valve is on the left side of the heart. It allows blood to flow from the left upper chamber into the left lower chamber. When the valve is not working well, it may need to be replaced.
Healthy heart valves allow blood to flow one way. Diseased valves either leak and cause back flow or narrow and restrict flow. The condition can be life threatening. Sometimes the valve can be repaired. Other times, it must be replaced.
Rheumatic fever, infections, defects at birth, and wear and tear are the most common causes of mitral valve problems.
If you are planning to have a mitral valve replacement, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
The demands of open-heart surgery are severe. The better your general health, the less likely you will experience a complication.
Some of the risk factors that must be evaluated before you undergo this procedure include:
Your doctor will evaluate both your general health and the condition of your heart and circulation. Expect several heart tests, including an
electrocardiogram (EKG)
and an
using ultrasound.
Some patients may also have cardiac catheterization.
Leading up to your procedure:
You will have a
general anesthetic. You will be asleep.
An incision will be made along the length of your breast bone. The breast bone will be split lengthwise to expose your heart. You will then be put on a heart-lung machine. This machine takes over the work of your heart so that the doctor can stop your heart.
Your heart will be opened. A substitute valve will be sewn into place. This valve may be mechanical (metal and plastic), such as a St. Jude valve, or it may be made of tissue. Tissue valves most often come from a pig or a cow. Tissue valves may also be supplied by a human donor or even manufactured from your own tissues. When the valve is in place, you will be taken off the heart-lung machine and your heart will be re-started. The incision will be closed.
Newer techniques, including
robot-assisted procedures, are being developed. These procedures will be able to do the same surgery with smaller incisions.
You will be taken to a recovery room. You will be monitored for any negative reactions.
About 2-5 hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the surgery. Your chest and back will be sore following the surgery. Talk to your doctor about medicine to help manage pain.
The usual length of stay is 8-10 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
You will probably spend 1-3 days in the intensive care unit (ICU) and several more days in a regular hospital room. During this time, your care team will:
Be sure to follow your doctor's
instructions, which may include:
Mechanical valves can last a lifetime. Tissue valves last 7-14 years and then must be replaced. If your valve is repaired and you have no complications, you will likely do well and be able to return to normal activities.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Another dud
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: Great features and sound, and the battery lasted a good long while.
Cons: Another dead Sansa on my hands.
Other Thoughts: This was the longest lived Sansa player I've had, nearly making it 10 months. But like the others, it's now dead. At least this one almost made it a year.

long lasting
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: Tiny size, good sound, and it's still working after a year and a half, and still puts out a few hours between charges,.
Cons: none for me
Other Thoughts: Earphones make a huge difference. I got a pair of Sennheiser CX200 earbuds, and it was just great, deep bass, crisp everything else. It lasted longer than the Sennheisers, and I got some JBC earbuds that sound muffled by comparison. Moral of the story - don't put down the source till you've tried it with quality speakers/earbuds. Now if the Egg would just have those Sennheisers on sale again...

Great little player
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: The sound quality is good and the EQ settings are not bad. I have the 4GB player with a 32GB memory card. The player works great in my car, allowing me to charge and listen to it at the same time.
Cons: The only drawback is that if you exceed 5,000 songs, the player has a bit of an issue. For this, I installed Rockbox - now works perfect! It even reads FLAC and other formats now.
Other Thoughts: Great buy. I'm picking up a few more - 1 for the car, 1 for the gym bag, and 1 as a gift.

It's Good Looking, bad quality
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: I actually have the black one that's not sold on Newegg. The pros are 1. stylish, 2. internal memory (if it's the black one like mine, you get 8 GBs), 3. "External" memory (or in other terms memory you can insert into the device), 4. FM radio and FM recording.
Cons: here's what I have to gripe about. The cons are 1. voice recording sounds a little fuzzy and can't pick up sound from the user behind the device, 2. the headphone jack along with the other internals (*cough* Microphone, *cough, cough* antenna... excuse me I had something in my throat) are not quality at all. I mean when I have to move the headphone's plug around in the headphone jack just to get both speakers working on 2 sets of earbuds, and the antenna is located inside the device itself so putting it near you cuts the signal going to the radio down quite a bit and I use to have a phone that had a FM radio that used the headphones or earbuds (what have you) for the antenna which is a smarter choice so Sandisk has no excuse when the technology is out there. Plus my friend's Sandisk he use to have years ago had a similar headphone jack issue, so I am not ever going to buy a mp3 player from someone who should stick to external memory (good thing this one was a birthday gift so I could warn you), 3. the buttons and the mp3 player itself is way to small, my thumb is literally the size of this thing so voice recognition that actually works is a must for the next model if they stay on the course of making a small cheap product.
Other Thoughts: No other thoughts except do not buy any product involving audio from a company known for making USB sticks and SD cards because they are utter garbage made from the cheapest stuff they can find.

Excellent Value
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: This is the best personal MP3 players for anyone who wants to listen to music while doing something else that requires hands or eyes (working out, for example). Touch screens are neat, but not when you can't afford to swipe and look at a little screen. Tactile controls have their place. The sound quality is quite good.
Cons: I wish it allowed users to customize the buttons to do various tasks -- for example, press the home button three times rapidly to switch to radio mode, or up-down-up to switch to 'play all' in music. This is a small complaint. The clip could stand to be more durable, but it's at least as durable as similar, more expensive products.
Other Thoughts: There are a few MP3 players that match the sound quality, but none I've tried exceed it. For the price, it's a superb player.

My First
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: Does everything it says it will with no problems! Ultra small but solid build. It is very simplistic controls and syncing is a snap. Nice display. I was skeptical about the sound quality because of the size but not any more! Clean clear crisp tunes with excellent base output.
Cons: Can't think of any other than it will probably get washed it is soo small. I need to get an adapter so it will fit in my BMW...
Other Thoughts: Still amazed that such great sounds can come from such a small device. I haven't tried the radio yet so not sure on that....

Don't buy a Sansa
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: Small and light, takes SDHC for more memory, cost.
Cons: Battery life was actually 2 hours after full charge. Screen lost part of display after less than a month of use. Just not going to cut it!
Other Thoughts: Have another Sansa Clip product that has issues after about a year. Power button doesn't work. Guess you get what you pay for! Too bad!
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: none
Cons: Died after 3 days of use. Wouldn't turn on and wouldn't charge through usb.
Other Thoughts: I tried to avoid buying one of these cheap mp3 players but gave in after losing patience. Don't bother with these cheap Sansa clip players. Better off throwing your money out the window
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip 1.1" Gray 4GB MP3 Player SDMX22-004G-A57G
Pros: Features for the money.
Cons: OEM Earbuds.
Other Thoughts: I like things that are easy enough to use without having to read the manual, and this player is one of them. The number of formats this thing can play is a feature well worth having. The included earbuds are just plain horrid, but for the price of the player I'm not going to dock an egg for that. Just take some of the difference between this player and some"i" product and get a better set of earbuds.

I play a nation-simulation game called Nationstates, and I was hoping somebody would be willing to make my nation a map... Please and Thank you .
Project Scope:
My nation is known for its harsh desert terrain and one large chain of mountains smack dab in the middle called The Doshavand Mountains, (they're larger then the Himalayas). My capital city is called Al-Riyadda, and other main cities are called Baghdina, Asgabhad, Shiraan, Kasraz, and Mosai. I don't care where you put the other cities, but can you put my capital city in the north western part of the nation. My nation borders three nations, one nation to my right, and two nations to my left, their border's contact each other around half way up my border while I have a southern and northern coastline.
Fictional Modern Middle Eastern Nation
Design Concept:
A modern fictional middle eastern nation. One and a half times taller than its width. A Southern, Northern and South Western coastline. Picture Kazakhstan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran all thrown together mushed into one country. With one large mountain chain dividing it in the middle and four or five small likes spread throughout the nation
Number of maps:
One blank non colored map
One map showing points major cities and terrain
Preferably Large, PNG, GIF, or JPG, JPEG.
The creator reserves all copyright, I just want to be able to post it on a forum and say "This is my nation's map/this is my country."
Very flexible, I draw and I hate being rushed.
The reason why this says [Paid?] and not [Paid] is because I'm not certain what my paypal password is and I have no way of getting into it. Due to the fact that my email associated with that paypal was hacked so I'll be working on creating a new paypal account. So once I get things straightened out probably thirty dollars maximum because my mom takes more then half my paycheck.

Labrador Mix Truck Dogs - Truck DogsWritten by on September 1, 2009 Bongo & Bear
Public Animals Number 1
I think it would be hard to find two dogs who love to ride in a truck more than Bongo or Bear. The breed listed on their licenses is Lab-mix, and they were among seven puppies born on September 9, 1999 to a couple of old truck dogs named Bernie and Moose. That was the day I found myself with nine dogs, and glad I had a '56 Chevy panel truck to haul them all around in. The sad thing about a canine is they don't live nearly as long as humans. As of 2009, Bongo and Bear are the only survivors. When Bear was a puppy, I gave him to my dad, but got him back in 2003 when my dad passed away. Since he was 6 weeks old Bongo has been riding in the cab of my truck. I haven't kept track how many miles he's traveled in a classic truck (broken speedometers), but I know between my 2000 S-10, and '05 GMC he's done over a 100,000 miles helping me work for a truck magazine.
Getting a picture of your truck dog published in the pages of CCT is easy. Mail us good quality prints to CCT Truck Dogs, 774 S Placentia, Placentia, CA. or email high-resolution (798kb or larger) images to email@example.com. Please don't forget to include your phone number, and sorry we cannot return submitted material.

But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their posh hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found.

Michigan Bar Exam Essay Strategies (3212)
This pilot course provides third year law students with a "head start" in preparing for the essay portion of the Michigan bar examination, but is not a substitute for more comprehensive commercial bar review courses. It includes instruction on essay writing strategies and skills. Students will study the Michigan essay subjects independently in much the same manner as in the weeks immediately preceding the bar exam. Substantive lectures will be given on selected topics, primarily in the context of analyzing essay questions. Much of the classroom time will be used for essay exercises and exams.
This course is restricted to Seniors. In addition to the prerequisites listed below, it is recommended that seniors have taken Law 2100 Criminal Procedure and Law 2490 Sales. Seniors may audit for no academic credit with permission of the instructor.

This is delicious!! I too have made tomato-based versions, and I like this one better. I've made this twice and chopped the veggies by hand to make bigger chunks, which gives a perfect texture that my 16-month old loves. Hand-chopping seemed faster than the processor, since you have to pre-chop anyway. And no extra equipment to clean up. Also chopped veggies the day before so cooking next night went very quickly.

Guy has some bulk to add.
But if he doesn't have a rivals profile that means he can't have starzzz.

Looks like a guy who won't contribute for a few year. Considering his size and lack of info I can find on him
Cant find any recruit info on him? I smell a paul rhoads hidden gem (see: jake knott) yes I am being optimistic
He needs to start steroids now for college football anywhere.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Bevins was wrestling at 215# at this time last year, and he may be growing out of the DE position already. Maggitt was 190-200# in his rivals profile and was already playing quite a bit his RS Freshman year. McDonough was 220-230#.
Obviously he probably wouldn't be as ready to play as quickly as a bigger guy like Suttles, but he's not that small compared to guys who have been solid B12 players for ISU.

Right. There are numerous HS kids recruited for WDE that are in that 200-215 range when their weight is initially listed. He will have a workout suggested to him once he signs and he will be in the room next summer. 240 by his Rs Fr season is very attainable. Also, just because a kid weighs 240 doesn't mean that's all good. They often need some sort of transformation as well.
This is very important:
2014-15 KenPom AdjO (rating)
116.3 (11)
2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating
120.7 (3)
The Tampa area has been good to ISU so far.
The kid will learn to build muscle the right way over the next year or two. No doubt.
2014-15 Cyclone Fanatic NBA Fantasy Basketball Champion!
What was Berryman's weight listed at before he got here? Im too lazy to look it up, but I believe it was under 220 for sure (could be wrong). He wasn't that big of a guy if you stood next to him. Suttles not coming has me bummed I feel he will at least be a good player for Nebraska, and if he is a stud then will really suck because D-End is a position group that is a need, (Captain Obvious I know)
Current weight is not a big deal. Like said earlier, a lot of kids who are heavy have a lot of bad weight. Kids who have a lot of good weight are usually highly rated 3 stars or better.
Now has a profile on Rivals with the good guys & Wake Forest as interests. No ratings/rankings
247 Recruiting shows ISU & Wake Forest with offers, along with Florida Atlantic & FIU. No ratings/rankings
Scout lists as a 3 star with offers to the two above plus Buffalo & Florida International

Just to confirm, (1) this was never used, only on display? (2) would I still get the manufacturers warranty?
What exactly constitutes a used-demo versus used versus, say, open-box? Im considering this but havent found anywhere on your website that states exactly I would expect. Is this simply a like new open box, sampled in the store, or did it actually go out, get used, and THEN returned?
Air Control
The evolution
• Combine hose for octopus and inflator
• Ergonomic shape
• Pre-oriented mouthpiece for easier use
Air Control, the new mares alternative air source, offers the option to use the same hose for the octopus and the inflator. The pre-oriented mouthpiece makes it usable as a quick and easy octopus. The cover features the Mesh Grid system, made of soft material so the purge button is easy to push, even when wearing gloves. It complies with EC standards and with special adaptors that can be easily assembled on all BCs. The ergonomic shape allows one-handed use.

Second stage weight (g): 241 INT
Nitrox: -
Product Features
Fluid Dynamic Deflector: Receives and properly directs the airflow from the bypass tube to the mouthpiece.
Mesh Grid: Patented design which reduces the impact of water flow onto the second stage diaphragm, thus eliminating free flows even in strong currents.
Superflex Hose: Extreme light weight and exceptional softness guarantee the maximum freedom of movement.
Ultralight Techno Polymer: Abrasion resistant and affordable, ideal for diving in warm and moderate water temperatures.
Vortex Assisted Design: The air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low pressure area in the center that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.
The air coming from the LP-hose passes through the second stage control valve and is conveyed directly to the mouthpiece through the by-pass tube (Mares patented). In the mouthpiece connector, the airflow creates a swirling action, or "vortex". The core of the vortex is a low-pressure area, which, during inhalation, helps to hold down the second stage diaphragm, thus markedly increasing regulator sensitivity. The decisive advantage of the VAD System lies in the precision of its control. The VAD supplies the inhalation effort with just the intensity required.
Another advantage of the VAD system is related to the bypass tube, through which most of the air is delivered. In cold water diving, this system prevents ice crystals (which can be generated by the expansion of humid air in cold temperatures) from interfering with the proper operation of second stage components.

MIAMI (AP) -- Tomato prices skyrocketed just three months ago,
but they're falling now with an unexpected glut in Florida.
The Sunshine State is the only place in the U.S. where tomatoes
are grown on a large scale during winter. But even there, cold
weather in January and February killed plants and caused a shortage
that had some grocers charging nearly $4 a pound.
Now that the weather has warmed, Florida farmers are seeing
their surviving plants mature and tomatoes ripen all at once.
That's caused a glut, and farmers who were getting $30 for 25
pounds in March are now averaging only about $4.75. Supermarket
prices are falling too.
Some farmers say they'll leave their tomatoes in the field,
rather than sell them at a loss.

Whoever wins next month's Davis Cup by BNP Paribas title will go down in history as the winner of the 100th final of the world's most famous team tennis competition.
Czech Republic host Spain in a repeat of the 2009 Final in which Spain came out on top in a one-sided affair at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. Led by Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer, Spain got out of the blocks quickly racing to a 2-0 lead and the trophy was won following Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco's victory over Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek in the doubles.
The Czech side will be looking for revenge from that tie but have history mounted against them as they look for a first victory over Spain since playing under the flag of Czechoslovakia in 1971 and are currently on a three match losing streak against the top-ranked Davis Cup nation. However, only once in the last six years has a nation managed to win the title playing away from home – that team being Spain who won in Argentina in 2008.
Czech Republic reached the Final thanks to victories against Italy and Serbia at home in the first two rounds followed by a tough trip to Parque Roca to defeat Argentina in the semifinal.
Juan Martin del Potro had put the home side ahead in the first rubber with victory over Stepanek but two wins from Berdych either side of success in the doubles when the two Czech players combined for their 11th victory in 12 matches together in the competition turned the tie around. The title has not made its way to Prague since 1980 with this being only the second Final to feature the Czechs since that victory.
The absence of Rafael Nadal from the Spanish side has allowed other players a chance to shine, most notably Nicolas Almagro who is unbeaten in five singles rubbers through the year.
Kazakhstan and Austria put up little fight against Spain's ever increasing unbeaten home record and although USA fought hard through four gruelling rubbers they too were brushed aside in part thanks to David Ferrer's determination as he won marathon matches against both Sam Querry and John Isner. Spain are looking for their fourth title in five years and their sixth overall having won the competition for the first time in 2000.
13 Feb 2012
The usual Czech duo of Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek caused the damage against Italy in Ostrava as they combined to put the hosts into an unassailable lead
Defending champions Spain continued where they left off in 2011 with a commanding win over Kazakhstan in Oviedo that displayed their incredible strength in depth
08 Apr 2012
Tomas Berdych won all three of his rubbers to guide Czech Republic to a hard fought win over Serbia at the O2 Arena in Prague
Two singles wins each for David Ferrer and Nicolas Almagro saw Spain continue their impressive unbeaten run at home which now stands at 23 straight ties without defeat

glycosaminoglycans (GAGs, formerly called mucopolysaccharides).[1][2] Specifically, people with this condition are unable to break down a GAG called heparan sulfate.[2] Affected individuals can have severe neurological symptoms, including progressive dementia, aggressive behavior, hyperactivity, seizures, deafness, loss of vision, and an inability to sleep for more than a few hours at a time.[1] MPS IIIB is caused by alterations (mutations) in the NAGLU gene. This gene provides the instructions for producing an enzyme called N-alpha-acetylglucosaminidase, which is needed to completely break down heparan sulfate.

|A Healthier Weigh challenge set to begin Monday, Jan. 14
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The 2013 "A Healthier Weigh" challenge begins Monday, Jan. 14. This 12-week challenge encourages increasing activity, making wise food choices and living a healthier lifestyle in 2013.
This is the second year for the challenge in Phillips County, with 50 participating the first year.
The challenge is conducted with teams of four adults who must be at least 18 years of age. Participants weigh in as a team at the beginning of the challenge in order to goal set and monitor progress. At weigh-in, each participant receives a pedometer to keep track of their daily activity. Teams will earn points for the total steps of activity recorded each week.
Participants receive a password to access weekly information on the Extension website about nutrition, health and fitness. For 2013, the website information and recommended learning activities are totally new. The 2013 materials focus on making small changes toward health and fitness along with some information on how those positive changes can also impact financial well-being.
The three-part series, Small Steps to Health and Wealth, will be offered to participants, as well as the community, to get a head start on learning the benchmarks for good nutrition, fitness and financial well-being.
During the hour and a half sessions, participants will have the time to do hands-on activities to help them compare their current behavior with the benchmarks and then make progress toward small changes in those areas.
The first session, titled "Where am I now," begins Jan. 7. The second session will be held Jan. 10 and focus on "Finding Balance." The third session Jan. 14 will discuss "The Past, Present and Future." All classes will take place at the Phillips County Event Center from 6:30-8 p.m.
Through increased activity and making wise food choices, individuals in previous years have lost an average of 4 percent of their beginning weight and 6.5 percent of their beginning waist circumference. Since the program promotes overall health and fitness and not just weight loss, weekly weigh-in is not required. Teams will weigh out the week of April 8.
Besides earning weekly points for reporting total teams steps, teams earn points for weight loss based on a percentage of the team's original weight and for percent of waist circumference inches lost by the team. At least 50 percent of registration fees will be returned as cash prizes at the conclusion of the challenge.
The registration fee will be the same as last year. Registration and weigh-ins will be conducted Jan. 7-11 at the Extension office from 5-6:30 p.m.

Are you a good juggler?
Anthony Gatto set a record by juggling 7 balls for more than 11 minutes.
Sometimes in business we feel like we have twice that many balls in the air at once. But at today's pace, that might not be good enough.
The best jugglers not only know how to handle what's thrown at them, but also choose actively what to put in motion or let drop. In our January Exchange Monthly Newsletter, I shared some insightful ideas to help improve your juggling quotient (JQ for short) as you build your action plans for the coming year.
- Create competitive advantage when you manage content, context, and intelligence
Forrester Research, Inc. advises: Smartphones and tablets are transforming how businesses engage customers, and drive loyalty. They provide a great case for experiential innovation resulting from systematic integration of mobile into customer engagement frameworks. Simple registration required.
- De-silo interactions that have pushed the juggling act to your customers
Whether customers engage with businesses through social, mobile, the Web, or in real life (IRL), they approach businesses with different needs at different times. Brian Solis challenges us to embrace holistic experience design, and to create better digital experience "glue" across customer moments of truth.
- Empower workers, manage risk, and free capacity to juggle bigger business issues
Learn how K-V-AT Food Stores swapped out traditional approaches for a new BYOD model to provide managed and highly-secure access to company resources from employee devices — and as a result improved productivity through simplified access to corporate applications.
What are the challenges and opportunities you're juggling as the New Year begins?

Emerald Downs News and Stable NotesMonday, March 26, 2012
Leonel Camacho-Flores
Jockey Leonel Camacho-Flores, the Northwest's newest riding sensation, returns to Emerald Downs after posting a career-high 47 wins last season. In a tale of two halves, Camacho-Flores' 2011 campaign modeled the running style of a late-closing racehorse. While it took time to find his stride, Camacho-Flores finished the season with a ferocious rally. In fact, at last year's halfway point, he had ridden just 10 winners. As Seattle weather got hotter, so did Camacho-Flores. The 28-year-old Zacatecas, Mexico native turned in a spectacular two-month performance, winning 37 races, including his first ever stakes score and was later honored with the meet's Top Riding Achievement.From unknown to in-demand, Camacho-Flores shipped his tack to Northern California following the Emerald Downs season. In 82 mounts, Camacho-Flores found success, notching eight wins at the Golden Gate fall meeting. And after a quick stint at Portland Meadows, Camacho-Flores said he's ready to start fast at Emerald Downs."It's not easy to win at any track," Camacho-Flores said. "I just need to do my job and ride hard every race."One horse sure to make life easier, Buddy Dave, a six-time winner last season, has resumed training after a runner-up finish in 2011 to Touch of Elegance for the meet's Top Claimer. Camacho-Flores, who worked Buddy Dave last week, said he expected another strong campaign from his favorite Thoroughbred."He's ready to start racing," Camacho-Flores said. "I don't know how he does it. He's such a little horse, but he has a lot of power." THREE INTRIGUING MATCHUPS HEADING INTO 2012
1. Noosa Beach vs. JebricaFor the past two years, Noosa Beach has owned the handicap division, winning eight stakes races including the 2010 Longacres Mile. This season, however, Emerald Downs has arguably the most talented 4-year-olds in years. The state's 3-Year-Old Champion Jebrica received a 98 Beyer Speed Figure—the highest at the 2011 meet—for his victory in the Emerald Downs Derby. He later went on to beat older horses, including stakes winners Winning Machine and Assessment, in the B.C. Premier's Handicap at Hastings.
2. You Me and Ema B vs. Class IncludedDespite never being favored in all six-career starts, You Me and Ema B is the probable top choice to repeat as the meet's Top Older Filly or Mare. She showed her versatility last season, winning both the six-furlong Hastings Handicap and the one-mile Boeing Handicap. Her greatest test, however, could come from last year's 3-year-old crop. Class Included, like You Me and Ema B, can win at any distance and has already proved she could handle older horses at Hastings, where she finished second in the Ballerina Stakes (G III-C). 3. Touch of Elegance vs. Buddy DaveWhile the two opposite-sexed runners will likely never run head-to-head, both Touch of Elegance and Buddy Dave figure to be early favorites for 2012 Top Claimer. The former took the prize last season, winning 7-of-8 races, while the latter became a fan-favorite, winning six races in come-from-behind fashion. Touch of Elegance would be the track's first back-to-back Top Claimer recipient.
NOTES: Director of Racing Bret Anderson said Monday that Emerald Downs has 688 horses—down from 725 this time last season—on the grounds. The 37 less horses, however, can be attributed to trainer Vann Belvoir who now runs his stock in Southern California. Anderson also said the first condition book would be printed Wednesday, with opening night on Friday, April 13 featuring an open allowance race for older fillies/mares—a prep race for the $50,000 Hastings Handicap on May 13…Kim Wales, wife of former jockey and Grant's Pass Clerk of Scales Hugh Wales, said she would run a small stable at Emerald Downs this season…Trainer/farrier Allen Gideon has six horses in training to start the season, including 8-year-old father Spiker and his 5-year-old daughter Maggie's Special…Cruzin the Harbor, full-brother to 2009 Top 2-Year-Old Hollywood Harbor, earned a 68 Beyer Speed Figure after winning his career debut Saturday by four lengths at Golden Gate Fields. The 3-year-old son of Harbor the Gold is trained by Frank Lucarelli for owner Frank Gaunt of Eatonville, Wash…Diamond of Blue, now 3-for-4, received a 72 Beyer Saturday for his victory in an allowance race at Golden Gate. Trainer Blaine Wright said the 3-year-old Kentucky-bred would likely join stablemate D'honorable One in the $50,000 Jim Coleman Province on May 5 at Hastings…Congratulations to owners David and Jill Heerensperger of Bellevue for winning the $150,000 San Luis Rey Stakes (G II) with their 6-year-old Bourbon Bay on Sunday at Santa Anita.

What can I say, really. We traveled to Munich for ein paar Bier und Spaß and...oh, who are we kidding,
Oktoberfest Wiesn was absolutely fantastic. Just our luck, it was the 200th anniversary of one of the world's biggest excuses to let it all hang out. Of course, like in any civilized society, many people in Munich get around on bikes. We felt right at home. Lauren's Nikon in one hand and my iPhone in the other, we went around town and the Wiesn grounds on Thursday, as a warm-up for the big day on Friday, you know, just easing into it. I think we did it the right way... Just enjoying our walk into town, to the daily market and center squares... Spot the Amsterdammer :). A few beers in Hofbräuhaus:And then checking out Wiesn itself, riding along with some Wiesnettes...to the biggest fair I've ever seen in my life. Bathroom pit stop in a small tent... Let's just say Thursday took longer to finish than anticipated. Friday brunch... An impromptu Pedersen bike ride...Off to claim our spots at Wiesn 2010... but not before hitting the traditional Historischen Oktoberfest, where we gave this peculiar bicycle race arena a run for its money: Getting closer to our Garden of Eden... Yup, we're there and not leaving... See you in 2011, Munich!

Easy & Expert Recipes For Butternut Squash Salad
Butternut Squash Salad Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
October has barely begun, but I already miss my favorite Summer salads. Thankfully, I've got plenty of autumnal ingredients, like roasted butternut squash, to add into the fresh mix. If you plan meals ahead of time, channel your focus into a Fall salad with lots of splendid details, like port-soaked raisins, toasted walnuts, and oven-broiled goat cheese. Hoping to make the salad the night of? You still can — with the help of apples, cheese, cranberries, and a speedy balsamic glaze. Decide which one works best for you and read more.
From Bon Appétit
Beginner Butternut Squash Salad

Expert Butternut Squash Salad
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup port
1 butternut squash (about 2 lb.)
1 small red onion
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. maple syrup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium heads Belgian endive
1 small head frisée
1/2 small head radicchio
3 cups loosely packed spinach leaves, stemmed
Sherry Maple Vinaigrette:
6-oz. log fresh goat cheese
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- Cover the raisins with the port and let sit overnight.
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Cut off the bulb end of the squash; reserve for another use. Peel the cylinder end and cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch dice. Thinly slice the red onion. In a bowl, combine the squash, red onion, olive oil, and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine thoroughly. Spread the squash and onions on an oiled sheet pan and roast, stirring occasionally, until the squash is just cooked through and the squash and onions are browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cut the endive into 1/2-inch slices. Cut off the stem end of the frisée, separate the leaves, and cut them into smaller pieces. Core and roughly chop the radicchio. Combine the endive, frisée, radicchio, and spinach in a nonreactive mixing bowl; toss with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette. Arrange the greens on six plates.
- Heat the broiler. Slice the goat cheese into 6 rounds and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil until just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Top each plate of greens with the still-warm squash and onions. Drain the raisins and sprinkle them, the toasted walnuts, and the bacon, if using, around the plate. Garnish with a round of warmed goat cheese. Drizzle a few teaspoons of the remaining vinaigrette around each plate and serve. Reserve extra vinaigrette for another use.
Serves 6 as a starter.

*As opposed to The Willetts on Wine, which is currently more like a monthly wine blog. But we still hope to do better...
This 2003 Beringer Founders' Estate Merlot had a lovely nose, both smoky and full of berry notes. In fact, we found the nose nicer than the taste, but that's not to say it didn't taste fine, because it did. Lots of apparent sweetness from the fruit, but good tannins, too, making it a well-balanced wine that was just what you'd expect from a good merlot.
We happened to be trying it with cheese from Regina's Bulk Cheese Warehouse, and found it went well with Blue Benedictine, especially at the back of the palate. It also went very well with Old Masters Gouda.
We'd definitely be willing to buy it again.
(Sorry for the poor-quality label shot: sometimes all you've got is your cellphone camera.)
"Not a fruit bomb" was Margaret Anne's first comment on this Australian Cape Barren 2003 Old Vines Shiraz. It certainly has big flavour, but it's more in the leathery, smokey-oak sort of way. We didn't get the cloves/cinnamon flavours one expects from Shiraz, though the pepper was certainly there. We're not sure how much of that was from the grapes, though, and how much was from the extremely high alcohol content--15 percent. Maybe our tongues were just burning.
We don't host dinner parties of the size that would require this...
...you're stinking up my wine:
Ladybugs may look pretty but they also have a dark side. In some places, the polka-dotted insects have become a nuisance by invading homes and crops, including some vineyards. To make matters worse, the bugs produce a foul-smelling liquid that, besides irritating homeowners, can be inadvertently processed along with grapes and taint the aroma and flavor of wine.
A growing number of winemakers say that their wines have an abnormal aroma and flavor, known as 'ladybug taint,' that resembles the bug's characteristic odor. Winemakers report that there are more ladybugs in vineyards and on the grapes during harvest. Experts believe that the bugs accidentally become mixed into the juice during processing and fermentation, resulting in inferior wine.
The cheap stuff works fine. Better, in fact, in many cases.
Which is a great relief to us, because we hate pouring a third of a bottle of excellent drinking wine into a boiling pot of something-or-other.
Ed had the pleasure today of attending the local launch of Lindemans South Africa line of wines, put on at the Willow on Wascana restaurant by Lindemans Canadian representative, Fosters Wine Group Canada.
Lindemans's stated goal in expanding into South Africa is to bring South Africa wines to the attention of a broader swath of the wine-buying public, who are already familiar with Lindeman wines as being well-made, affordable and approachable.
All three terms certainly apply to the wines on tap (well, they weren't literally on tap, being in bottles, not kegs, but you know what we mean) at the Willow this afternoon.
Lindemans South Africa Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were on display, and Ed liked all three of them. They were also well-matched with appetizers from the Willow.
The Chardonnay is friendly and fruit-forward, not oaky at all, with the usual tropical fruits (Ed particularly picked up on banana) and a nice mouth feel--a bit of that Chardonnay butteriness, but not the almost cloying oiliness of some Chardonnays. The wine was refreshing by itself and just as good with the appetizer, lemon-drop chicken, the lemon taste of the chicken somehow bringing out the matching tartness in the wine.
The Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were both what Ed would typify as "drink-now wines"--fruity, friendly, un-intimidating, but well-made and well-balanced. The Cab had lots of berry flavours (strawberry in particular) and a good varietal nature to it: there was no doubt it was a Cab. It was good to drink on its own and also went well with coffee-roasted boar rib, should you happen to have some lying around.
The Shiraz featured chocolate and licorice flavours, and, again, lots of up-front fruit. It seemed a bit dead on the nose, but Ed still rated it as probably his favorite of the three wines, with the Chardonnay second and the Cabernet third. However, he liked them all and wouldn't hesitate to buy a bottle next time something food-friendly and ready-to-drink is called for, or to order a bottle in a restaurant.
Also on display today were the Pink and Yellow sparkling wines from Yellowglen, which are supposed to be the best-selling sparkling wines in Australia. They're both pleasant and perfectly reasonable $14.97 alternatives to more expensive bubbly, although our favorite sparkler from Australia continues to be the E & E Black Pepper Sparkling Shiraz. We previously tasted them at the opening of the Assiniboia Gallery's new home, and enjoyed them there. Ed thinks he likes the Pink a bit more than the Yellow, possibly, suggested the pourer, because of a hint of pinot noirishness about it.
Not a dud among the lot, today, and all worthy of future purchase.
This 2004 Kim Crawford Pinot Grigio was a bit of a disappointment. Steely and minerally, without much fruit, and nothing that really struck us as particularly varietal. It reminded us of...well, of a couple of disappointing California sauvignon blancs (see previous post). They were pretty much interchangeable.
We wouldn't choose it again.
A long hiatus on this blog, we know, but...well, it's been a busy time.
But we're back, and what better way to start than with some comments about the most recent event of the Society of American Wines?
Tuesday's event was held at a new Regina restaurant out in the booming east end of town. The Rock Creek Tap and Grill isn't particularly Irish in feel or decor, but SAW decided to call the event a St. Patrick's Day winetasting anyway (although of course it wasn't actually held on St. Patrick's Day, either...)
No green wine was served, in any event. Instead we began with two California sauvignon blancs, one from Redwood Creek (we didn't catch the vintage) and one from Sutter Home (2002, in that case).
We didn't, unfortunately, care for either one of them. The Redwood Creek was...well, "simple" is what we wrote down. "Thin" was another word (and one which kept coming up over and over). The Sutter Home was marginally better. We suspect we've been spoiled by drinking too many Marlborough sauvignon blancs from New Zealand ("anything with Bay in the name!" is our motto). These two just weren't up to that standard.
The appetizers were very good, though: sirloin lollipops (skewered steaks covered with a crispy mashed-potato coating) and "tipsy scallop and potato galette with harissa chevre," which must have been good, because Ed ate his helping and helped someone else eat theirs, too.
Dinner itself kicked off with Guinness and Dubliner cheese soup (the most Irish thing on the menu); essentially an onion soup, but with chunks of potato and bread floating in it. The cheese was sufficient without being one of those choke-threatening masses one sometimes sees in onion soups in restaurants.
Accompanying it but not, alas, matching up with it in anyhing more than an adequte fashion was the 2002 Delicato Chardonnay. According to the Delicato website, this wine "has a soft nose of tropical aromas of pineapple, coconut and honeysuckle with hazelnut, oak and spice nuances. With layers of forward fruit on the palate, the wine opens up to flavors of green apples, bananas and hints of nectarine with a creamy texture."
We didn't get all of that, although Ed certainly noted the nice mouth feel and also picked up a lot of green apple in the taste, as advertised. (Bananas, though? Not so much.)
As a palate cleanser, strawberry key lime sorbet hit the spot (though it was perhaps a bit too sweet). Then came the main course, marinated beef rolled with seasoned vegetables over mashed potatoes. The wine was the only red of the evening, the Concannon Vineyards Central Coast Petit Syrah, 1998 vintage.
And there was that word again: "thin." The wine may well have been better when it was first released. But all we got was leather...maybe a little spice...and lots of woodiness. Not enough fruit to make it interesting. And we didn't find that the food improved it.
Actually, our favorite wine of the evening was probably the dessert wine, Quady Essensia 2004 Orange Muscat. Lots of orange flavor (natch), sweet but nicely balanced. It even worked pretty well with the dessert, pistachio mousse with caramel drizzle barnbrack (think bread pudding).
A great evening for food, for wine...not so much. But then, it's just as important to discover the wines you don't really care for as the ones you do, isn't it?
If there was a theme to this year's Wine and Food Festival at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, from which my wife and I just returned (feeling very well wined and dined indeed, thank you very much) it was terroir.
Terroir is a French word which has no English equivalent (and the French like it that way). At Banff, Ruth Souroujon, vice-president of marketing for Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates, defined terroir as "the total natural growing environment of any viticultural site that allows a grape variety to uniquely express itself."
Winemakers' focus on terroir makes sense when you realize that the idea that the same grapes grown in different locations result in different-tasting wines is central to the entire wine industry. If there were nothing to terroir, then all wines from one region made from one particular grape would be indistinguishable from wines made from another region from the same grape—and people would pay as much (or as little) for Generic Red in a Jug as they do for Chateau Petrus.
Oddly enough—or not so oddly, if you've ever heard the near-worshipful way some people talk about wine—being scientific about terroir is controversial. Jamie Goode, author of the recent book Wine Science and holder of a Ph.D. in plant biology, says some people see terroir as a philosophy, as "a unifying theory encapsulating a certain approach to wine that encompasses the almost metaphysical circle of soil, nature, appellation and human activity." But Goode, being scientifically minded (as am I) prefers to strip away the philosophy and focus on the scientific reasons the same variety of grapes grown in different plots of land taste different from each other.
In a Harpers Weekly article in September, 2003, he explored the "mechanisms of terroir." He pointed out (and I think I heard some talk like this at Banff) that there is a long-standing belief among some winemakers that the mineral content of a vineyard's soil affects the flavor of the wine made there: i.e., flinty soils impart a flinty taste, chalky soils impart a chalky taste. Goode (and the experts he consulted) found this implausible, to say the least.
Indeed, a French (yes, French) scientist, Gérard Seguin, surveyed the properties of soils in the Bordeaux region and could find no reliable link between chemical composition and wine character or quality. Instead, he found a connection between soil drainage and wine quality: the best terroirs, he found, were the ones where the soils are free draining, with water tables high enough to ensure a regular supply of water to the roots up until the time the berries change color (called veraison). After that, ideally, the water recedes, so that the vine stops growing and concentrates on ripening its fruit.
It's possible, Goode pointed out in his article, that tiny variations in the minerals available in the soil affect the expression of certain genes within the plant, which might indeed impact the final flavor of the grape, but that's a far cry from "a flinty taste comes from flinty soil."
Soil type may affect grape growth in another way: dark soils retain heat and radiate it at night, while light soils reflect heat and sunlight immediately back onto the vines but don't retain as much heat at night. Those effects would tie in with the overall microclimate of the vineyard, which varies with altitude, orientation and geography, and also affects the growth of the grapes.
The best way to get a feel for the effects of terroir is to taste several wines made from grapes grown on different plots of land but vinified by the same winemaker. Which is exactly the exercise Soujournon led us through at Banff: we tasted five Cabernet Sauvignons, each made from a specific plot (at altitudes from 401 to 2,204 feet above sea level, with varying aspects and varying kinds of soil), and then attempted to blend our own equivalent to Kendall Jackson's signature (and quite expensive) Grand Reserve Cabernet.
I thought my resulting blend was quite successful, though alas I was not allowed to pour it into a bottle and sell it.
The exercise convincingly demonstrated that terroir—the scientific version of it—really does make a difference. It may not be as simple as the soil directly imparting flavors to the grapes, but considering Ontario's Ministry of Agriculture, for one, suggests the spring application of manure to vineyards, that's probably a good thing.

I use a BB 8800 with the BB desktop manager to sync my calendar to my device from Outlook. When i set up outlook to use a ZIMBRA MAPI it is continually crashing. I found out that that might be due to the private key in ZIMBRA and Outlook, they do not match. When that is over, ZIMBRA does not sent all my calendar updates and data to my Outlook. Which means i can't use this version of syncing.
Anyway, there is also an option to sync my BB to a Yahoo calendar. Since ZIMBRA is now part of Yahoo i thought it might be possible to sync my Zimbra calendar to my Yahoo (mail plus) calendar. But this seems not an option.
Anybody an idea whether this is or will be possible?
Hope to hear, Thanks in advance!

ATLANTA -- Georgia Insurance & Fire Comissioner Ralph Hudgens is reminding Georgia residents to change the batteries in their smoke alarms this weekend when clocks change to Daylight Saving Time.
The annual change from Standard Time to Daylight Time is a great opportunity to check smoke alarms, Hudgens says.
"Every year in Georgia there are fire fatalities in homes that didn't have smoke alarms, or where the alarms didn't function because of dead batteries," Hudgens said. "If you have a smoke alarm, make sure it's in working order. Changing the battery at least twice every year and cleaning dust from the device are easy ways to ensure continued protection of your family and your property. Having a working smoke alarm doubles the chances you will survive a fire in your home."
Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m., when clocks move ahead one hour.

WEIRTON-Madonna matched Magnolia field goal for field goal in Wednesday's clash at the Dubie Dome. Both teams finished with 31 - 22 2s and nine 3s.
The state-ranked Blue Eagles left town, however, with an 89-72 victory by converting 18 of 22 chances from the foul line. The Blue Dons, on the other hand, went to the line just five times, making only one.
"I've always said basketball games are won at the line," Madonna's George Vargo noted. "Magnolia certainly proved that point."
With the victory, Dave Tallman's club moves to 16-4. The Dons fall to 8-13 and will begin Region One, Section One play Saturday at Cameron. The tip is set for 7 p.m.
Magnolia appeared poised to record a blowout early. Hitting six of their first seven shots, the Eagles raced to a 14-2 lead. Senior standout Mark Winters put an exclamation point on the first quarter run by putting one in after a steal on the defensive end.
Madonna's Ross Comis, making just his second start since returning from an injury, wasn't about to let his team get run out of its own gym. The junior guard keyed an 11-0 Blue Don burst to make it 19-18. He made a pair from behind the arc and recorded two on a nifty drive to the basket. Sophomore James Carnes buried a deep ball off a Comis assist.
A hoop by Zach Wilhoite put Magnolia up 21-18 after one. The Eagles went 8 for 13 from the floor during the opening eight minutes.
"We could have died in the first quarter but we came back and played hard," Vargo pointed out. "We took their best shot and made it a game."
Magnolia scored the first seven of the second stanza (Winters getting five) to extend its advantage to 10 at 28-18. The Eagles led 46-32 at halftime. During the initial periods, Tallman's crew was 16 of 27 from the floor (6-for-10 from 3-point) and 7-for-8 from the line. Winters registered 22 points, 17 coming during the second.
The Dons hung tough in the third, outscoring Magnolia 25 to 19. They were red-hot from the floor, hoisting 14 shots and hitting 11. Carnes scored 10 and Tyler Ewusiak six. A Spencer Campbell make at the buzzer allowed the Eagles to take a 65-57 lead into the final quarter.
A 7-0 burst to open the period, two coming on Winters' second slam of the game, allowed Magnolia to regain a comfortable lead and put the game out of reach.
"Without a doubt, that was our best effort of the season," Vargo said. "I'm so proud of our kids, they played an outstanding game. Give Magnolia credit, they were like a small college team out there with Winters getting those two dunks. Plus, they shot the ball so well."
The Eagles shot 51 percent from the floor. Madonna wasn't bad either, making 31 of 62 attempts.
"I thought our kids played well and made good decisions," Tallman noted. "Madonna is a much better team with Comis and they never quit. Of course, Madonna never quits."
Winters finished with 38 points and grabbed eight of his team's 28 rebounds. Wilhoite contributed 19 and Stephen Rogalski 12. He buried his first three tries of the night (two coming from downtown).
"All of our guys are playing with confidence right now and that's something we need as we approach tournament play," Tallman said.
Carnes, who swished five 3-pointers, led Madonna with 21.
Comis had 20 and six assists. Ewusiak added 14 and four assists.

Comments about Educational Insights GeoSafari® Expansion Card Set - Ages 8 and up Edition:
I am highly disappointed with my purchase, mostly because half of it never even arrived. I was incredibly excited when I saw that GeoSafari was still around. I remember playing with it at school as a child. I knew that the laptop, along with the expansion card pack, would be the ideal Christmas gift for my son. I purchased both the laptop and card set on Thanksgiving. I received the cards rather quickly, but the laptop didn't come with it. I waited and waited and waited. Finally, I received an email last week stating that they were sold out and discontinued. I realize that things happen, so I am not necessarily mad that I didn't get what I ordered. I just find it very inconvenient that I now have a card set that is virtually useless and must find a way to return it. It just seems like a hassle that could have been avoided with an organized record of inventory.
