Psst... Pizza Boxes work REALLY well for this!
Mom's Lemon Cake she decked out with blueberries and raspberries
just like the Family Circle cover (July 4, 2009.)
"C" and her "Raggy" wish you a Happy 4th of July!
I love the stars! What a great idea. Of course, I would need a yard. :)
What a cute idea. Could use this idea for Australia day!
my kids would adore the flour stars! Great idea!
I love this, we will do it today!
Thanks for sharing!
What a clever/creative 4th of July project - love that it's fine and gross motor skills combined with art... from the sifting of flour to the sauntering down the sidewalk - FUN!
How fun!
Wow- this is sooo creative and fun! I would have loved walking by and seeing your lawn on the fourth!
so fabulous! I want to do those stars!!!!
Fantastic idea! I want to do them just for fun!
This is BRILLIANT! We've got a cookout today... better get moving so we can cover the lawn!
Oh man, I can think of tons of ways to use this idea! Flour stars, suns, triangles, lightening bolts, butterflies . . .
Really nice. We did these too, but your grass and big star looks much nicer! Thanks for the idea. Love your blog!
Love this - did it today! I am so happy when there are ideas on here that my almost-3 yr. old can do completely on her own. So fun! And best part, already had all the supplies and only took a few minutes to gather them and cut a stencil. She had a great time and then added red and white stripes with sidewalk chalk - now there are little flags all along the street. We're also working on a fairy garden. :)
i love the stars in your yard - how creative, as ever!!!
What a fantastic idea! With Fourth of July coming up this is a must! I'm totally going to pass this around to my friends. Thanks!
This is a wonderful! My husband comes home from Iraq in 2 weeks (from a year long deployment) and this is a wonderful idea to do in our yard for when he comes home!!!
I saw this on Pinterest and loved it! I did it on the 4th and I'm going to be posting some pictures (giving you credit of course). Just wanted to say thanks for the great idea!
Love this idea! Wish I would have came across it earlier..well there is always next year :)
What a fun project!! Can't wait to try this with my boys! I loved this so much I shared your page on my blog: http://our-scott-spot.blogspot.com/2011/07/pinterest-addiction.html
It had never occurred to me do decorate my lawn this way! What a fun idea!!!
This is a great idea. Here in the Uk we could also use this idea for Christmas, with perhaps holly shapes or snowflakes. The only problem would be if it rains. Thanks for sharing.
The flour stars are so clever!! I featured them today!!
Hearting this project!
I saw this on a 4th of July roundup and just had to pin it. I hope you'll share your best post of the week on my Friday Flash Blog Linky Party going on ALL weekend at The Jenny Evolution.
I'm the Editorial Assistant for Fun Family Crafts and I wanted to let you know that we have featured your flour stars! You can see them here:

Taking a look at this year's mast report
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Deer, bears, squirrels and other game animals will have a little more to eat this fall than they did in 2011.
Division of Natural Resources biologists recently finished the agency's annual Mast Report and Hunting Outlook, and it includes both good news and bad news.
The primary good news is that the overall statewide abundance of wild game foods is up about 5 percent over the 42-year average and 14 percent over 2011's crop. The primary bad news is that acorns were the only major mast item that came in significantly above average.
Here's how the various oak species broke out:
The news for the other highly important mast species - beechnuts, walnuts, hickory nuts, black cherries and grapes - isn't nearly as encouraging. For example:
Minor mast items that came in above average were dogwood, up 26 percent; and sassafras, up 8 percent. Below-average minor mast items include yellow poplar, down 10 percent; hawthorn, down 9 percent; crabapple, down 27 percent; blackberry, down 21 percent; greenbrier, down 12 percent; and apple, down 27 percent.
Keep in mind, though, that statewide numbers such as the ones outlined in this column can sometimes be deceptive. All mast items tend to be abundant in some geographic areas and scarce in others.
For instance, hickory came in 30 percent above average in the state's Ecological Region 3, but fell 22 percent below average in Ecological Region 4. Region 3 includes most of the counties in southern, southwestern and south-central West Virginia. Region 4 includes all the counties along Interstates 79 and 68 from Braxton County on to the northeast, with Barbour, Tyler and Upshur counties thrown in for good measure.
So what does all this mean?
In areas where acorns are really abundant, deer and bear hunters will find it tougher to locate their quarry. When deer have protein-rich acorns easily at their disposal, they become much more difficult to bait with corn, which is mostly carbohydrate and doesn't provide nearly as much nutrition.
Baiting for bears is illegal, but a big acorn crop still affects the bear harvest. When bears have plenty of acorns to eat, hunters during the December firearm season tend to fare substantially better than archery-season hunters. With so many acorns at their disposal, bears scatter widely during the bow season. In December, they stay out of their dens longer than usual, packing in calories for the coming hibernation, and are more easily taken by firearm-wielding hunters.

Rabbit Show at Old Bethpage Village
It wouldn't be spring without a visit from prize rabbits – in all colors and sizes – at Old Bethpage Village Restoration. The Long Island Rabbit Breeders Association (LIBRA) Show makes its annual appearance on Saturday, April 13, as the restored village welcomes over 1,500 rabbits to compete for best in breed and best in show, among other categories.
The popular and family-friendly show is a longstanding tradition at OBVR. It showcases a variety of breeds, approximately 30 in all. Rabbits – that harbinger of spring –appear in all their many variations: Mini Rexes, Netherland Dwarfs, Belgian Hares, English Angoras, Holland Lops, New Zealands, and the enormous Flemish Giants, among others. The show takes place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the 8,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall, an accurate reproduction of the original exhibit hall built at the Queens County Agricultural Society Fairgrounds in Mineola in 1866.
The only event sanctioned by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) on Long Island, the show attracts some 300 breeders from through the northeast, according to Carol Doukas, a former breeder, and LIBRA member. "People come from all over to show their rabbits," Doukas said. "It's a busy day and we welcome the public to get acquainted with our show and the breeders. We are happy to share our knowledge of rabbits and spread the word about these wonderful animals. They make great pets."

Why should Jennifer Aniston have all the hair fun? The country's abuzz with talk of Brad's recent close crop – shorn short on the sides and slicked back on top – which he debuted at the SAG Awards. Apparently the cut's for his role in upcoming WWII flick, Fury, but I'm hoping it sticks around. (It could grow into a really interesting reverse mullet.)

I want to buy a DSLR for shooting videos (semi professional video blogging).
What I should look for in a DSLR if I am mainly focused on video shooting.
I know this question overlaps with What features should I look for in a DSLR to shoot live bands? but it's more general, usually I have control over lighting, not very dynamic (moving) environment, sound recording is easier for this situation, can be tethered most of the time, more limited budget...
As I understand it, the flexibility that an SLR gives you in terms of optics (you can use a variety of lenses that are not available on video cameras), and image quality (sensor quality and pixel count) and other controls (exposure controls ...) makes SLRs very good options for semi-pro video production.

Imagine having a ton of money sitting in a bank that belongs to you and you have no idea it's there.
It was no dream for one person here in Eastern Carolina.
You might want to ask yourself when is the last time you checked the North Carolina Unclaimed Property List.
It turns out there are one million properties in their database and with eight million North Carolinians you have a 1 in 8 chance of finding your name.
That was the story of Bernard Rogers. He's been taking care of the grounds for Pitt County Schools for about 13 years.
He's a guy that doesn't like to move much. Rogers has been at his home in Ayden since 1979.
Rogers filed a claim against his former insurance company Aflac some years back. He said when he got no response he thought his claim didn't go through. But that wasn't exactly the case.
The town of Ayden completed the E911 system in 2000.
Some addresses had to be changed so every emergency response unit in Pitt County were all working with the same address's.
After the system was completed, Rogers address changed from 1809 Johnson Circle to 4508 Johnson Circle. Town officials say residents had one year to get all their mail forwarded. It's not clear when Rogers forwarded his mail.
WITN surprised Rogers at work and told him his name was on the Unclaimed Property List and he was owed at least $5,000. Rogers response, "five-thousand dollars. I could sure use it."
It turns out Rogers is not alone. In the old vault at the Treasure's office we found things like jewelry, rings, coin collections, silverware, a three and dollar bill among others. There is over 600 million dollars on the NC Unclaimed Property List waiting to be returned.
State Treasurer Janet Cowell says, " in the unclaimed lock box we find love letters, gold coins, teeth you name it."
We joined him about two weeks later when the check arrived in the mail. Rogers had received a check for over twenty-thousand dollars.
The North Carolina State treasurer gives out nearly $2.5 million dollars per month to the rightful owners.
The interest earned on the funds goes to the state educational assistance authority in the form of grants, loans and scholarships to North Carolina college students attending public universities and community colleges.
In 2008, the Unclaimed Property program assisted over 70 thousand students.
Below is a list of the amount of unclaimed property money in each county:
Halifax - $825,000
Nash - $1,100,000
Dare - $700,000
Carteret County - $1,200,000
Bertie County - $200,000
Martin County - $498,000
Green County - $177,000
Lenoir County - $900,000
Duplin County - $600,000
Jones County - $136,000
Pamlico County - $115,000
Hyde County - $50,000
Tyrrell County - $15,000
Washington County - $175,000
Edgecombe County - $850,000
Wayne County - $1,700,000
Beaufort - $800,000
Onslow - $3,400,000
Pitt - $2,900,000
Craven - $1,700,000
These numbers were made available by the North Carolina State Treasurer Janet Cowell.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 41 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by srnicholson25 Great end table! This table is the perfect addition to our living room. It provides ample space on top for a side lamp and other things and wonderful storage with the drawer and shelf. The color adds a lot of warmth to our room as well. It was also easy to construct. We also have the matching coffee and console table and could not be happier. The best part is the fact that the items come so quickly! I could not recommend this table enough! October 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by alwayskokakola Great style These end tables are perfect. Sturdy and easy to assemble. I also purchased the stacking media console, and am using it for a TV stand. The ensemble is perfect in my living room. January 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by newhome Great side table This table is great for use next to a couch. It has a good look and is sturdy. January 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by woodlandelf Beautiful Furniture! I purchased the Madera coffee table and end table. The wood is absolutely beautiful and quite heavy. I assembled the end table first which took me almost an hour. I took my time with the directions. Then I assembled the coffee table and it only to 30 minutes! It was very easy. You just screw in a few bolts with an allen wrench. And you need a Phillips screwdriver to screw the drawer handles. I noticed that the drawers have dovetail joints which means quality! I'm so glad I bought these. Highly recommended! P.S. The boxes were just left on my front porch when they were delivered so make sure you'll be around. They would have delivered them within three days of purchase, but I put a vacation hold with Fedex for free so they didn't sit there for days! December 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karl Good quality, looks great I bought this piece with some other items of the Madera set for my living room. I purchased two of these to flank my couches and they are fantastic looking end tables. The quality is good and the tables feel very sturdy. The drawer is fairly small however and not necessarily great for storage for anything more than remote controls and/or little trinkets but I didn't plan on using them anyway. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maria28 This product is great quality. This product is great quality. The color is rich! LOVE IT! January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by odessacates Beautiful and Stylish These tables are absolutely gorgeous! They have beautiful coloring in the wood and are well made. Our living room looks amazing. We will have these for years to come. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alix Great quality wood tables, solid and nice style. Bought the coffee table and matching end table. So happy that I saw these at World Market, love these tables and will enjoy them for many years to come. October 22, 2013

Definitely better effort than I've seen for most of the season. Unfortunately, when you have a 7-man rotation, effort alone won't get it done.
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great
True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:

Binational Commission of the Sixaola River Basin Approves New Regulations
15 February 2013 | News story
The regulations were approved and signed by members of the Binational Commission of the Sixaola River Basin and will be raised to the Permanent Binational Commission for formal recognition.
January 2013. The second draft of regulations to establish the bylaws of the Binational Commission of the Sixaola River Basin (CBCRS for its name in Spanish) underwent a session of analysis on January 14 and 15. The session was facilitated by the Executive Secretariats of the Costa Rica-Panama Convention for Border Development, with technical advising from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)*.
The new regulations reaffirm CBCRS's legitimacy as a structure mandated under the Convention, and constitute an instrument to facilitate multi-level binational cooperation in the Sixaola river basin.
This is especially important for the wellbeing of people living in the binational watershed because of the general principles contemplated in the new regulations: the watershed as shared resource; good neighborliness; sustainable development; ethnic and cultural diversity; cooperation; equitable use; pollution control and prevention; social participation; subsidiarity; environmental impact assessments; information sharing; good faith negotiation; restitution and environmentally-friendly activities.
Moreover, the commission's structure is broadly representative. The General Assembly includes 28 permanent members corresponding to central government institutions, government agencies based in the zone, local governments and civil society. Participation is also guaranteed for Indigenous peoples located in the watershed: the Bribri and Cabécar represented by ADITIBRI, ADITICA and the Keköldi reserve, in Costa Rica, and the Ngäbe, Naso and Bribri peoples, in Panama. Given the vast membership, a new structure was created to facilitate the commission's operativity, and includes the assembly, a coordination unit and special working groups.
Approval of the regulations is an important step in the Commission's consolidation, and the result of multiple sessions of participatory analysis thanks to synergies between IUCN, the Binational Project and the Convention's Executive Secretariats, along with technical advising and training on governance of shared waters by the IUCN's Regional Office for Mesoamerica and Environmental Law Centre.
Next steps include officializing the regulations before the Costa Rica-Panama Permanent Binational Commission and consolidating the Binational Commission under these new regulations, as the entity responsible for coordinating and developing the actions necessary for integrated management of the Sixaola binational river basin.
For more information write to firstname.lastname@example.com
*IUCN is currently executing two projects in the watershed: Building River Dialogue and Governance (supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation–SDC) and Water Management for Adaptation (supported by the German government through ICI-BMU), as part of a strategic focus promoting transboundary cooperation and integrated water resource management.

Veteran actor Christopher Walken has been cast to play Captain Hook in the upcoming TV special "Peter Pan Live!"
Executives at NBC are developing a musical version of the children's tale for TV following the success of last year's broadcast of "The Sound of Music Live!" starring Carrie Underwood as Maria, the role made famous by Dame Julie Andrews in the 1965 movie, and have tapped the "Man on Fire" star for the villainous role.
He says, "I started my career in musicals and it's wonderful after all this time, at this point in my career, to be in this classic musical I watched as a child and to work with (producers) Neil Meron and Craig Zadan again after (2007 film adaptation of) 'Hairspray.' It's a chance to put on my tap shoes again."
NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt adds, "He's one of the most unique actors in our business. He might really just be a song and dance man at heart… This might be the first tap dancing Captain Hook you've ever seen."
"Peter Pan Live!" will air in December.

This Sunday: Celebrate Irish Culture
(Page 2 of 3)
It's a day that clearly centers on Irish tradition. The dance competition showcases over 300 of the finest Irish dancers in the New York metropolitan area, and pipers from all around come to perform. The sheer energy of the step dancers is intoxicating and many visitors come just to see them being judged, as the dancers seek to move on to the championships. More than 25 from last year's feis moved on to national competition and 10 took part in international
There are competitions in Irish singing and piping and drumming as well. And don't miss the judging of the Irish-Soda-Bread-baking contest! Children's games, Irish football matches, storytelling, and displays of Irish art round out the day. Organizers expect around 2,000 people to attend this year's event.
Besides these traditional forms of entertainment, a special musical act is included every year. This year's featured guest, the Sporting Paddies, will perform in the afternoon. The pre-eminent Irish-American band in the New York City/Long Island area, the Sporting Paddies play a wide variety of classic Irish rebel and drinking songs, ballads, originals, and lively trad tunes, all peppered with the occasional American song done in the singular Sporting Paddies' way.
Tom Cassidy on uilleann pipes, flute, whistles, and vocals; Mike Cassidy on button accordion, concertina, bodhrán; Craig Harbauer on fiddle, mandolin, tenor banjo; with Martin Kearns and James West, guitar and vocals, blend together to create a dynamic, vibrant and memorable musical experience.
Tom and Mike Cassidy have been playing Irish traditional music together most of their lives. Having both studied individually with some of the top musicians in the New York City Irish trad scene, the skillful and close manner of their dual playing bring a unique and authentic Irish trad element to the band that is not often heard these days. The brothers can be found playing out at any number of seisiúns in the New York City area.

Curran statement after passing gun bill
(Page 2 of 3)
"Since Newtown, parents within my district have been consumed with making sure our schools are safe. Under the NY SAFE Act, school districts will now be receiving an extra 10 percent of the state's portion of building aid to make schools safer. This aid may be used to install metal detectors, hardened doors, security cameras and security systems. This smart solution provides immediate relief to our schools in providing a safe learning environment.
"This law sought to expand the already existing New York State Weapons Ban of 2000, focusing primarily on attachments to firearms, including magazine capacity restrictions. I have always been a staunch advocate of Second Amendment Rights previously voting against microstamping in 2011 and 2012. However, both federal and state courts have consistently ruled that the Second Amendment is not an absolute right. Upon review, I found that this bill, in terms of assault rifle gun control, places reasonable limitations in our Second Amendment rights but at the same time provided us with additional protections in public security and safety of our children will be augmented.
"By no means are all aspects of this bill the absolute panacea to violent crime in New York State. The Assembly Minority Conference was successful in removing the original sections of this bill which included: firearm confiscation; confiscation of ten-round clips; statewide registration of firearms; permit information which is obtainable by freedom of information requests; firearm purchase limits and microstamping. We also held the line on tougher criminal penalties on crimes committed with illegal weapons and an extension of Kendra's Law, which keeps a close eye on those with a history of mental illness who could become violent in nature.

Mr Curran ,,, you need to have your head examined . The mentally unstable and the criminal minded will always find a way to get a weapon and it makes no difference what type it is . The only thing they are interested in is getting any type of weapon from whatever source , be it off the street , via a criminal act of theft or any way they can . The law abiding citizen who might want to purchase a weapon for his collection or use can only go to a licensed dealer and after paperwork and a NICS (criminal/mental background check) is allowed to make the purchase . These people are usually very serious about the security of their collection and lock it up . These are the people that are affected by the SAFE act ,,,, not the criminals .

My environment:
ZCS trial v5.0.6
mobileme with .mac account
leopard 10.5.4
ical 3.0.4
zimbra isync 5.0.2301
contacts sync just fine
calendar seems to sync, and in ical there is a new subset of calendars from the zcs server, but those calendars don't sync to mobile me, and hence don't sync to my iphone.
is this supposed to be the case? since they are actually separate caldav servers?

In recent years, computational challenges have become more and more important to infer biologically relevant information from the vast amount of experimental data available to systems biologists.
We encompass several approaches to computational biology: we try to frame the biological question under consideration in terms of more standard problems in computer science, like clustering, Steiner trees, flow problems, etc., and then use approximation algorithms motivated by statistical physics to solve these problems. One of our most successful approaches in this realm involves variants of belief- and survey propagation algorithms, but in the course of adapting our problem to this setting, we often need to derive alternative representations of the original computer science problem which might be useful when applying other algorithms as well.
We also approach many problems from the perspective of applied statistics and machine learning, making use of latent variable models and efficient operations on them to perform inference and learning. In this vein, we have tackled problems in immunoinformatics such as HLA imputation and refinement, elispot analysis, epitope prediction; problems in statistical genetics such as effective and efficient handling of unknown confounding factors in eQTL association studies, genome-wide association studies, and analysis of methylation data; problems in proteomics such as alignment of vector time series resulting from liquid-chromatography-mass-spectrometry systems.

This is the first time we will post an alert about a Windows Security Vulnerability. Many of our customers run our Zimbra Connector for BlackBerry which runs on the Windows Platform.
Today, Microsoft (for only the 3rd time ever) has issued an "out of band" patch for a critical vulnerability in all Windows NT-based OSes including Server 200x, Vista, and XP. The Internet Storm Center has also raised it's alert level to Yellow.
There is an exploit currently in the wild for this issue. We urge all customers running Windows Server to Patch their system immediately without delay.
"As reported earlier today, Microsoft released a critical update today for Windows Operating System. The update addresses a vulnerability with RPC calls which can be referenced from SMB connections. As most of you remember, worms such as Blaster and its kin were able to propagate through RPC/DCOM vulnerabilities and is in a very similar area of code. Microsoft has detected limited, targeted attacks exploiting this flaw in the wild. It is expected that with the release of the update, much more of the hacker community will become aware of how to exploit this and create a major worm outbreak or botnet activity."

Primers prepare your skin for the beginning of your makeup application, providing a smooth, beautiful base on which you can apply your favorite foundation. The use of Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Primers gives your skin a beautiful tone, covering visible imperfections, pores and wrinkles and reducing skin shine. This one step, between moisturizing and the application of a foundation, can make all the difference in how your makeup goes on, stays on and looks throughout your day or evening. The carefully formulated Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Primers can be used alone or blended with any foundation to provide a safe, protective and lovely pre-foundation.
After a thorough cleansing and use of moisturizer, your skin is ready for your makeup application. Before you begin, however, the application of a primer provides numerous benefits. Acting as a protective layer between your skin and makeup, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Primers helps hold in the moisturizer you have already used, allowing it to continue to provide you with its benefits throughout the day. At the same time, the primer does not allow the moisturizer to interfere with the foundation or any subsequent makeup.
The appearance of pores, wrinkles and skin blemishes can be blurred and reduced in appearance by the use of a primer. This is not the result of "filling in" the pores, but instead smoothes, evens out and helps visually blur the irregularities in the skin's surface with a flattering layer of primer. The same protective layer formed by Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Primers also protects your skin from your foundation and makeup. The primers will not allow the makeup to become absorbed into your skin, which both prevents interference with your moisturizer and reduces the amount of foundation and makeup you need to use. So, primers help you use less makeup, help your makeup stay on better and help your makeup last longer. You can expect carefully applied makeup to remain flawless, without any caked-on feeling. Enjoy a lighter, fresher makeup feeling throughout the day.
The carefully selected ingredients in Osmotics Inner Light Instant Complexion Enhancer primer act to perfect and enhance your skin's appearance. The soft focus pigments and diffusers formulated in the primer smooth out lines, imperfections and wrinkles, reduce shine and provide a more even tone. These features give you a wonderful canvas on which you can begin to apply a foundation and makeup. At the same time, this primer provides antioxidant protection, with a formulation of natural vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin B-5 sources. Jojoba oil is also a strong source of antioxidants, protecting your skin from free radicals. This primer is suitable for all skin types.


text: Zimbra desktop syncs from Zimbra to Google Calendar but not the other way (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit). I deleted both Gmail accounts (only one set up to sync the calendar), uninstalled the program, and reinstalled it, but it still doesn't sync properly. This makes the calendar all but useless to me since I frequently enter appointments in my calendar on my Android phone. I hope this will be fixed soon. I'm trying to replace both Outlook and Google's web site, and this is doing better for the most part than eM Client (the latter is slow in its syncing and it fails to sync even email sometimes).

Welcome to the Guild dbiscoc! Not sure I understand your question exactly, what is it that you wish to know?
Welcome to the Guild dbiscoc! Not sure I understand your question exactly, what is it that you wish to know?
I was wondering from what era it was drawn, and what part of the world.
Not to be rude, but posting something like this, without some background info (like the map it can be found on) is a bit like showing 1 piece of a jigsaw puzzle and asking which puzzle it belongs to. If you have the source, you should be able to find out more about the image, and THAT might lead you to what you want.
BTW, Welcome to the Guild, The Mappiest Place on the Web, and with a bit more info, we MIGHT be able to help a bit more. No gaurantees though...

I'm trying to get the sync with addressbook to work. I have approx 10k contacts in various groups. I realised pretty quickly that syncing them all (not all are related to my current job) is not useful and downright unhandleable in the webclient (cannot mass select etc).
So instead I'm trying to set up a partial sync. Selected only a shared folder with colleagues where we will build up a new contacts database that I would like to have a 2-way sync with.
However try as I might (even after a clean reinstall of isync) the tool attempts to sync all 10k contacts to my personal contacts folder; and hogs all the cpu/lots of memory. And then I have not even addressed the problem of addressbook groups which the initial full sync just turned into distribution lists in the zumbra contacts (unusable again)...
Does anybody face the same issues or have any tips for a workaround? We're using 5.0.19 and os x 10.5.5.
Cheers, Florian

Hi folks,
I'm planning the migration of 500 mailboxes from Exchange to Zimbra v7.
We naturely chose the "split" scenario but in the transition time, we will be faced to public folder synchronisation problem.
As far as I searched, there is no tool/workaround to have a two way sync of a shared calendar (zimbra) with a public caldendar (public folder)
As my client has an extensive use of shared calendars and also shared address book, i'm stuck in migration until I can provide a reliable way to maintain shared data in sync beetween people on Zimbra and Exchange.
Any start of idea, thoughts, solution is welcome.

Hi there in the forum,
I run into an strange problem. I set up Zimbra and all worked fine on the local net. Cause me to have a DynDNS account I can access the web front end on my local server from the office. Additionally to Zimbra I set up SquirrelMail to get access to my emails. This works fine for me. But I wanted to use the glory ajax gui too. When I try so doing it with windows (IE or FireFox) the login screen never appears on my client. The browser does load the HTML page and some JS but never finishes (waited abouzt an hour). The very strange thing is, that when I try the same with linux (as client OS with FireFox) it's done very well (using the same internet connection and router). My first thought was that there must be an implementation issue on the IP stack on windows but I cannot check this (because I don't know how to).
Going to give You my configuration here, cause seems to be a bit tricky.
Having an Intel Dual Core Machine with ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn server (amd64) setup with xen 3.1 (on 2.6.20-100-generic-amd64 kernel from a backport due to sata problems with 2.6.19) on Dom0. The box has 4GB of RAM 2GB dedicated to the DomU where Zimbra is installed. Another DomU has a firewall installed. There are two NICs in the system. One is connected to a router and one to the local network. I didn't work out how to set up the box so only the firewall sees the physical interfaces so I use the bridged virtual interface to do the job. Only the firewall sees the two bridges the other boxes only see the bridge used for the local net. So all traffic has to go through the firewall (shorewall 3.2.6).
The router is a LinkSys WRT54GS-DE (I need the WLAN from this box). The uplink is connected to a DSL-Modem (with firewall). There are some ports forwarded fromthe DSL-Modem to the LinkSys and from there to the (outside) NIC of the firewall. The firewall itself forwards the traffic to Zimbra box (on the other DomU). Some Ports are forwarded to another DomU having SquirrelMail installed which itself uses zimbra smtp and imap feature.
Want to give You a small pcture of my setup - it's easier to understand than thousands of (non native english - sorry about this) words.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,

Moreno To Compete In All-Star Showdown Saturday
AMES, Iowa – For the first time since 2009, the Iowa State wrestling team is sending a wrestler to the NWCA All-Star Classic. All-American 165-pounder Michael Moreno will square off against three-time All-American David Taylor of Penn State Saturday night in Fairfax, Va. on the campus of George Mason University.
Moreno is coming off a stellar sophomore season where he went 31-10 en route to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The Urbandale, Iowa native, has garnered much preseason hype and is slotted at No. 3 in the latest InterMat poll, behind Taylor and Oklahoma State's Tyler Caldwell.
His opponent, Taylor, is a three-time NCAA finalist and 2012 NCAA champion at 157 pounds. Taylor also took home the Hodge Trophy in 2012, which recognizes the best pound for pound collegiate wrestler.
Head coach Kevin Jackson is excited about the opportunity and challenge that awaits Moreno on Saturday night.
"We go into each and every match to compete at the highest level we possibly can," Jackson said. "If we do that, we give ourselves a chance to win. I think in the big picture, a match of this caliber puts us ahead of schedule."
The annual event will feature 10 exhibition matches pitting the top wrestlers in the country against one other.
"It's an exciting event," Jackson said. "The NWCA has done a great job promoting this event and turning it into one of the marquee events of the wrestling season, inviting the best of the best to compete. Some of the matches you'll be seeing are projected NCAA finals in March."
The main event begins at 6:15 p.m. (CST) from the Patriot Center. Flowrestling will be covering the exhibition showcase and providing a live stream for all FloPro members. You can sign up for a FloPro account by clicking here.

Hearings on Pennsylvania "intelligent design" bill
The Pennsylvania House subcommittee on basic education held hearings on June 20, 2005, on House Bill 1007, which would allow school boards to include "intelligent design" in any curriculum containing evolution and allow teachers to use, subject to the approval of the board, "supporting evidence deemed necessary for instruction on the theory of intelligent design."
Science still under siege in Kansas
Following the widely criticized "kangaroo court" hearings on evolution in May 2005, the place of evolution in the Kansas state science standards remains unsettled. The standards have been revised along the lines suggested by local advocates of "intelligent design," and are to be reviewed by the original writing committee in early August. Later in August, the board will consider the standards again in light of the original writing committee's comments, and decide on a final version, which will then undergo external review. A final vote is now expected in September.

Boulogne-sur-Mer : Michelin's recommendations
An old Roman city, Boulogne is the largest port for fresh fish in Europe, as well as an important port for trade and passenger traffic, enjoying strong links with Britain. Although the town has a fairly severe appearance, it is lively and attractive, especially the upper part of the town which is surrounded by ramparts lined with footpaths. This town, which Napoleon chose as a base for his invasion of England (which never took place), is now famous for the Nausicaa seaworld centre.

Around the World with ATH: Following the Royals from South Africa
Happy Monday! Opening Day is just 10 days away! We've had great response to our "Around the World" feature, and today, we have our first post from Africa.
Royals fan Tim and his wife BJ currently live in Johannesburg, South Africa. Tim is on a job assignment with Black & Veatch of Overland Park. The picture at left shows the couple at Pilanesberg National Park, in Northwest Province, South Africa.
Tim has been a Royals fan since graduating from college and moving to the KC metro area in 1983. Tim and BJ will be living in South Africa for the next two to three years. They missed the end of the baseball 2010 season and will likely miss all of the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
Tim likes the fact that he can get the radio broadcasts over the internet. The only downside is that they are seven hours ahead of Kansas City, so most games start at 2:00 AM! He is a big fan of day games!
Tim has been following Spring Training through Facebook and is looking forward to the 2011 season.
Thank you for sending in the photos and sharing your story!
At right, BJ and Tim are up close with lion cubs at the Lion Park Game Reserve, near Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa.

|Times They Are A-Changin'
|Written by Bret Miles, superintendent
You may not have noticed, but public education in our state is a very popular topic among legislators. So far in the General Assembly, over 40 bills have been introduced to change laws regarding public education.
This is not exactly a new thing. In fact, those of us in the education circles refer to three laws that have been passed over the last five years as "The Big Three." These three laws have set forth a tidal wave of reform movements in our state.
In 2009, Senate Bill 212 was passed, often referred to as CAP4K (Colorado's Achievement Plan for Kids). Most educators were excited about the passage of 212 and saw this work as the fundamental change our state needed, such as updated standards and new assessments. After years of writing rules and creating procedures to implement the law, we are just now feeling the effects.
Also in 2009, we received the Accountability Alignment Act, Senate Bill 163. This modified the existing laws about accrediting schools and school districts. This ended the A-B-C-D-F school report cards and brought us School View and Unified Improvement Plans (UIPs), which you may have read about in school board news stories where we approved our UIPs.
The last of the Big Three was passed in 2010, Senate Bill 191: Educator Effectiveness. This law changes how we evaluate teachers. The two biggest changes are the use of student test data as half of a teacher's evaluation and the ability to take away tenure from an underperforming teacher.
As you can see, the Big Three have brought large-scale reform to our schools. If this were not enough, in this legislative session we are awaiting a school finance act that will dramatically change how schools are funded with a varied impact on schools across the state. Without question, public schools are juggling many new initiatives, rules, laws and expectations all at once. It is kind of like juggling the knife, the flaming torch, an egg and chainsaw all at once.
The good news is that teachers in the Holyoke School District are embracing the changes. We have teachers stepping up as part of our shared leadership structure who are providing the classroom voice for implementation of the laws and policies. Even with our great enthusiasm and shared leadership structure, it is still change. Change is stressful and it takes time.
Over the next several weeks I will submit columns that focus on a different state-wide change each week and how it impacts us in Holyoke. We want you to be aware of the exciting changes coming our way. Of course, exciting is a great adjective with a range of meanings from thrilling, stimulating and moving, to anxious, frightening or stirring.
Regardless, we are living in exciting times in public education in our state. My hope is to keep you informed of the goals and the obstacles we face as a state and as a local school where it is our mission to graduate every student with the necessary knowledge, skill and character to find success in life.
Miles is the superintendent of Holyoke Re-1J School District.

Video: Teen killed in crash with juvenile driver
Washington, MO (KSDK) - The 17-year-old niece of a Missouri Highway Patrol spokesman was killed Friday morning after her car was struck by a fleeing juvenile driver at the intersection of two Franklin County highways.
Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke tells NewsChannel 5 a deputy was southbound on Highway 47 and found cause to stop a northbound vehicle that had crossed the centerline of the road. The deputy turned his patrol car around and attempted to catch the suspect vehicle, which speeded ahead.
The deputy backed off and radioed ahead to other officers, who got into position to stop the speeding suspect, who then tried turning onto Hwy 100 and crashed.
Aubrey Nothum of Washington, Missouri, the niece of Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Nothum, was killed in the crash. The driver of the fleeing vehicle has been identified as a 13-year-old girl. According to Sheriff Toelke, the 13-year-old girl had 12-year-old brother in the car at the time of the crash. Both sustained non-life threatening injuries.
PHOTOS: Aubrey Nothum killed in car accident
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the 13-year-old stole the vehicle from her parents and brought her brother along.
The Franklin County Sheriff wants the 13-year-old driver accused of slamming into Aubrey to face second degree murder charges. But, charges won't be filed until the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney gets the investigation and a juvenille court judge decides if she should be tried as an adult.
"There's a lot of factors that go into that determination the seriousness of the crime is one, how many contacts she's had with juvenille issues in the past," says local attorney Tim Engelmeyer.
He says the girl's main issue is that the death of Aubrey is not the only thing she could be charged for since she's also accused of stealing her parents' car.
"When this accident occurred she was committing a felony and so that bumps everything up to a possible second degree murder charge," says Engelmeyer. "My thought or guess would be that at that age she probably wouldn't be certified as an adult for this."
Until this case sits before a judge, we won't know the fate of the 13-year-old driver.
A benefit fund has been set up for the 1-year-old son Aubrey left behind. Donations can be made to the "Jaxon Nothum Benefit Fund" care of Bank of Washington, P.O. Box 377, Washington, Missouri 63090.
The funeral is on Tuesday, and visitation is set for Monday, but the name of the funeral home has not been released.

501 SummitYankton, SD 57078605-668-8000
Avera Sacred Heart is the first in the region to use a clinically proven medical technology that allows the physician to see what no one has ever been able to fully capture before -- the entire 21 feet of the human small intestine.
The M2A Capsule Endoscopy procedure involves swallowing a capsule equipped with a tiny camera, which then shoots two pictures per second as it travels through the digestive system. The whole procedure takes eight hours and the pill is passed out of the body in approximately 24 hours.
The hospital tried out the technology last year with two test patients. "I was so impressed with the results," said Dr. Dr. Steve Gutnik, gastroenterologist, Yankton Medical Clinic, PC. "We had superb outcomes and this technology was a critical tool in establishing their diagnoses."
Clinically proven as an effective diagnostic tool. The M2A Capsule Endoscope is a clinically proven medical technology that helps doctors diagnose various small intestine disorders including obscure bleeding, Crohn's disease, malabsorption, and unexplained abdominal pain. It is also used to diagnose patients that have a family history of small bowel cancer.
"Much of the time, patients using this technology have had multiple blood transfusions and persistent symptoms," Gutnik said. "We may also use the pill cam for someone with chronic diarrhea of an unclear cause, and disorders like Sprue or wheat allergy. Often with diseases like this, X-rays allow us to diagnose the problems after it is really too late. Treatments do not work as good with a delayed diagnosis. The earlier a diagnosis is made, the sooner you can start treatment."
Dorothy Vendshus of Yankton was proud to be the first patient to undergo the procedure since the hospital's purchase of the equipment. Vendshus had unexplained bleeding that caused her to need blood transfusions. As for swallowing that camera, she said, "It's not as big as a piece of potato or meat. I'll be able to swallow it with a little water."
Gutnik said one of the big advantages of the pill cam is its convenience. There is no bowel preparation. Patients are asked to eat only clear liquids from noon the day before the procedure. They swallow the pill and can have a glass of water two hours later and a light meal after four hours. Images are recorded for eight hours, but the patients are allowed to go home and go about their daily chores.
Gutnik said he is proud and anxious to be part of this new technology and hopes it leads to other technological endeavors. "I think this will really establish us as a regional center for this type of advanced work," he said.
