Tropos Networks recently announced MetroMesh NG, the world's first meshed multiprotocol picocell system. The new system leverages the patented Tropos MetroMesh OS, including the spectrum and application-based routing engine (SABRE), to provide the low-cost, uniform coverage, symmetrical bandwidth and high capacity required to meet the needs of Web 2.0 mobile Internet devices.
With MetroMesh NG, customers can deploy low-cost picocells on lamp posts using multiple radio protocols – for example mobile WiMAX, Wi-Fi and/or 4.9 MHz – to deliver mobile Internet services to subscribers. These picocells are cost-effectively meshed and backhauled using these radio types in licensed and/or unlicensed spectrum.
Sriram Viswanathan, vice president Intel Capital and general manager WiMAX Program Office explains how picocell Wi-Fi deployment paves the way for WiMAX – "This is an exciting announcement for operators and consumers alike, enabling even better coverage at lower cost. In addition, network operators now have the option of using Wi-Fi and public safety radios with a broad range of service offerings while paving the way to provide additional services using mobile WiMAX."
Analysis by Tropos Networks shows that a MetroMesh NG picocell system with 20-plus nodes per square mile operating in bands above 2 GHz will provide mobile WiMAX performance of greater than 1 Mbps throughput on more than 95% of client uplinks.
Such symmetrical broadband performance significantly enhances both traditional Internet applications, such as sending e-mail with large attachments, and emerging Web 2.0 applications, such as uploading high-resolution photos and videos to social networking sites.
"Our analysis is conclusive," said Narasimha Chari, chief architect for Tropos Networks. "Picocells are essential in providing high-speed uplinks and uniform coverage needed for true mobile broadband, no matter what type of wireless technology is used in the network. We are excited to add mobile WiMAX to our ongoing development of industry-leading metro-scale Wi-Fi systems."
Fully compatible with current Tropos MetroMesh products, the Tropos MetroMesh NG system provides innovative, intelligent integration of mobile WiMAX, 4.9 GHz and Wi-Fi into a picocell network system. Mobile WiMAX can be integrated into the network at the client, mesh and/or capacity injection layers, depending on the strategies of network operators and their subscribers.
Using Tropos' recently announced SABRE technology, operators can use policy-based routing to dynamically route traffic through unlicensed Wi-Fi, 4.9 GHz, licensed WiMAX or other links based on application, service, priority or other configurable rules.
Using MetroMesh NG, a network operator could use licensed or unlicensed macrocell point-to-multipoint (P2MP) WiMAX for capacity injection, Wi-Fi to connect picocells within the mesh network, to take advantage of the 500 MHz of available unlicensed spectrum, and both Wi-Fi and WiMAX for client connections. This enables the operator to serve the more than 250 million existing Wi-Fi clients immediately while facilitating smooth rollout of WiMAX clients.
The combination of Wi-Fi and WiMAX enables operators to maximize subscriber acquisition and revenues with the best coverage and broadest client appeal.
"MetroMesh NG leverages Tropos' investment in radio-independent, picocell operating software to deliver the best coverage and capacity for Web 2.0 mobile applications at the lowest capex and opex," said Ron Sege, president and CEO of Tropos Networks. "In addition, by flexibly combining Wi-Fi, 4.9 GHz and WiMAX, MetroMesh NG enables a broad range of customer benefits, whether it is municipalities deploying metro Wi-Fi systems, public safety agencies taking advantage of 4.9 GHz licenses or licensed mobile WiMAX operators wanting better coverage, symmetry and capacity at lower cost."
Web 2.0, which refers to the mobile internet access, must be supported with:
- symmetrical up- and downlink data rates
- uniform and ubiquitous coverage
- seamless indoor coverage
All of these requirements can be achieved through the use of picocells. By contrast, macrocell deployment of WiMAX alone cannot support symmetrical data rates because of the very low power levels received by base stations from low-power mobile devices. The weak return signal requires that the modulation complexity be throttled back to avoid data loss, which means that the data throughput must be cutback on the uplink.
In addition, macrocells do not provide uniform coverage nor do they guarantee indoor coverage. In a macrocell topology, there are only one to four base stations per square mile, which enables 1 Mbps to only 25% of the subscribers. On the other hand, there are 20 to 25 picocell base stations per square mile enabling 1 Mbps for more than 95% of the subscribers – a significant difference.
What's more, picocell topology is less costly because of low-cost base stations, mesh linking (self back-boning), and placement on existing structures, such as lamp posts, street light structures, buildings, etc.
Without picocell topology, Web 2.0 would be severely hampered with many dissatisfied subscribers. Picocell topology is the key enabler to the success of mobile connectivity that offers a plethora of services.

AT&T's software-defined network will offer its first cloud-based products in June, kicking off the first year of a six-year plan. Full-blown implementation is expected to take two to three years, with customers slowly migrating to the network.
Plans for the new network, which is replacing the current hardware-based network, were first announced in February, according to the Wall Street Journal. The transition to cloud-based software and less-specialized hardware will reduce costs for AT&T, allowing the company to offer lower-priced services to customers.
Big corporations will be able to manage and configure services on their own, saving them time and money, and AT&T will be able to update its software quickly rather than removing and installing hardware in order to upgrade its network.

Beyonce Used a Teleprompter at Roseland Ballroom Show?
Diva of destiny Beyonce is in the midst of performing four intimate nights at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City — to a consistently packed house of fans. But according to Perez Hilton there was one thing just a little off — the former Destiny's Child frontwoman was using a teleprompter.
Artists have used sheet music, teleprompters, lyrics sheets and more onstage — which isn't unusual — but even the momentary conversation King B had with the audience was scripted. Perez Hilton quotes one of his readers in attendance of the concert last night (Aug. 17) as saying:
"It was so distracting that for the first few songs everyone in my immediate area was watching the screen talking the script out loud before she was. It became especially ironic/humorous when she was talking about becoming an actress yet she's reading off of a prompter instead of memorizing the damn words."
Check out a few pictures of Beyonce using the teleprompter here. Do you think she should have relied on her natural stage presence? Or was she really drawing a blank?

This dissertation is a heuristic, theoretical, practical, nature based, and poetic investigation of the phenomenon of projective identification from an embodied, imaginal, depth perspective. This study arose from a deep, compelling, and enduring personal engagement with the relatively intractable and destructive personal and interpersonal problems resulting from severe trauma. The initial focus of this inquiry was born of a desire to understand and resolve these persistent difficulties. The phenomenon of projective identification presented itself as the core element in these problems and gave rise to the research and findings recorded here.
The apparent transmission of direct embodied affective experience from one person to another is explored from a variety of viewpoints. This is shown to be a central factor in the etiology of recurrent destructive and disturbed states throughout the lifespan and in a wide variety of contexts. Furthermore, a method for resolving these conditions based in a new view of the origin and character of these transmitted experiences is described.
This new view of projective identification is situated within the contexts of clinical theory, history, and practice; homeopathy and energy medicine; quantum physics; ecopsychology; and shamanic traditional practices. It is also described as it occurs in the course of many common interpersonal and group dynamics. The findings presented here are also integrated into a new theory of the origin of conflict, pointing to a new understanding of evil and of the full range of human destructiveness, as well as suggesting an approach to resolution and treatment.
Preliminary success with this new method of resolution is reported. Suggestions are made for the integration of this method into the body of current clinical practice, and for its use in self-care and other non-clinical settings. Reflections are offered on the possible outcomes that might be expected from the application of this new theory and practice, and other reflections and poetry offer a glimpse into the personal process of the researcher throughout the course of this investigation.

The Scarlet Pimpernel HTML version
XXII. Calais
The weariest nights, the longest days, sooner or later must perforce come to an
Marguerite had spent over fifteen hours in such acute mental torture as well-nigh
drove her crazy. After a sleepless night, she rose early, wild with excitement,
dying to start on her journey, terrified lest further obstacles lay in her way. She
rose before anyone else in the house was astir, so frightened was she, lest she
should miss the one golden opportunity of making a start.
When she came downstairs, she found Sir Andrew Ffoulkes sitting in the coffee-
room. He had been out half an hour earlier, and had gone to the Admiralty Pier,
only to find that neither the French packet nor any privately chartered vessel
could put out of Dover yet. The storm was then at its fullest, and the tide was on
the turn. If the wind did not abate or change, they would perforce have to wait
another ten or twelve hours until the next tide, before a start could be made. And
the storm had not abated, the wind had not changed, and the tide was rapidly
drawing out.
Marguerite felt the sickness of despair when she heard this melancholy news.
Only the most firm resolution kept her from totally breaking down, and thus
adding to the young man's anxiety, which evidently had become very keen.
Though he tried to hide it, Marguerite could see that Sir Andrew was just as
anxious as she was to reach his comrade and friend. This enforced inactivity was
terrible to them both.
How they spend that wearisome day at Dover, Marguerite could never afterwards
say. She was in terror of showing herself, lest Chauvelin's spies happened to be
about, so she had a private sitting-room, and she and Sir Andrew sat there hour
after hour, trying to take, at long intervals, some perfunctory meals, which little
Sally would bring them, with nothing to do but to think, to conjecture, and only
occasionally to hope.
The storm had abated just too late; the tide was by then too far out to allow a
vessel to put off to sea. The wind had changed, and was settling down to a
comfortable north-westerly breeze--a veritable godsend for a speedy passage
across to France.
And there those two waited, wondering if the hour would ever come when they
could finally make a start. There had been one happy interval in this long weary
day, and that was when Sir Andrew went down once again to the pier, and

Good Evening Everyone. It has been a very busy day in Norman OK so I am delayed in getting this posted! This is my submission for round robin at Scraps Of Darkness this month and I am starting my team off with this LO using the Waterways Kit. The sweethearts you see are my daughters childhood friends and my daughter on the right celebrating her birthday. These girls were so close and the light of my life, we miss them so much since we moved and will always have a special place in our hearts. Hopefully we will all meet again someday and catch up. To me they are still this age, but in reality they are in high school, preparing for graduation in the next 2 years and planning their futures. It makes me so sad and joyous all at the same time! Thanks for looking and big hugs for all the lovies you leave. I am overwhelmed with work and school and having a hard time finding time to get on here and chat with everyone. PLEASE know that I truly appreciate every comment even though I may not be able to say thank you, I am thanking you here from the bottom of my heart! Have a magical week ladies and gents and hugs to you all!

In just a little over a week, I'll be embarking on a Colorado vacation with a group of vacationers that hasn't been brought together since November of 1999. Crazy? Yes. Especially considering that this group of people is family. Although I've mentioned things here and there about the logistics of my life, I don't think I've ever fully explained that I have two immediate families. Despite nearly four years of blogging, I'm still slowly peeling back the layers of my life onion, and I hope you don't mind my sharing because it's both scary and relieving to be slightly vulnerable.
If you have a few extra moments, read on. If not, scroll on down to the last paragraph before the photos for some tasty adjectives about this pasta.
Way back when I was 8 and my brother, Brad, was 6, our mom and dad decided to part ways. No sap stories here, hindsight is 20/20 and this decision was for the best. Brad and I spent the majority of time with our mom and weekends with our dad, and not too far down the road each of them met someone new. After a few years, those new people become permanent fixtures in our lives as stepmom and stepdad. However, there will be no prefixing their titles with the word "evil" because these two are the farthest thing from the stereotype. They are my reason for viewing my parents' divorce in a completely positive light, and my life wouldn't be complete without them.
My dad and stepmom also decided to have two little ones, so our family of two kids doubled to four. Technically, I have a brother, a half brother, and a half sister, but actually, I have two brothers and a sister. Half schmalf. My younger brother and sister live with my dad and step mom and are 10 and 11 years my juniors, so it's been incredible to witness their progression from infancy to young adulthood. They, too, make life more complete.
Each of us is grateful that our parents get along with one another, which we know is a rare and precious thing. I had a father on each arm walking me down the aisle at our wedding, we've spent the last 12+ Christmas Eves together as one, big, happy family, and we even come together on holidays like Father's Day.
There's no denying that there were potholes in the road early on in the journey, but we've reached a special destination as a family. A place where we can come together, differences aside, and create happy memories.
Although Brad and I have been on more recent family trips with our mom and
stepdad pops, the last time we vacationed with my dad, stepmom, little brother, and little sister was nearly 15 years ago. I had braces and a wardrobe made up of 40% American Eagle, 55% Abercrombie & Fitch, and 5% teenage awkwardness. It was a lonnnnnnng time ago.
After 15 years, we finally decided to get the travel crew back together for a 10-day trip to Colorado (significant others included, too), and we'll be heading to Steamboat Springs for some outdoorsy adventure time. I'm really looking forward to the trip and will be sure to include vacation stories in posts that week.
I know that life story has nothing to do with this pasta, but I've been planning for the trip and realized that talking about it on the blog warranted a bit of background information. So now, this pasta.
Dan and I are only a few weeks into our urban garden growing, and we already have enough basil to make pesto for days. I think the only thing I have a green thumb for is basil, which is both coincidental and slightly embarrassing. I'm not terrible with other plants, but basil seems to grow like weeds from our 4th-floor window boxes. This year, we have a city-friendly varietal called "Windowbox" Basil, and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. It looks like tiny boxwood bushes and has the most incredible flavor. We also have two Italian Sweet Basil plants that are perfect for making pesto, so I've been making plenty of this to keep the plants from flowering.
The only ingredients in this pesto recipe are avocado, sundried tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes, and they blend together in just a few minutes in a food processor. I served this creamy sauce over brown rice spaghetti, but any type of pasta would be wonderful. This is one of those basic meals that you can make again and again when in a time crunch or craving a comforting, fresh, and summery pasta dish. I love that the creaminess of the sauce comes from fresh avocado, and the sundried tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and a lovely pop of red. This is the perfect way to put your garden basil to use when your go-to homemade pesto recipe is feeling a bit stale.
- 12 ounces spaghetti (I used brown rice pasta), cooked according to package instructions with 1/2 cup cooking water reserved
- 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup packed basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- basil
- drizzle of olive oil
- sprinkle of malden sea salt
- Begin by soaking the sundried tomatoes in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
- Add the avocado, sundried tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and red pepper to a food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
- Add your cooked spaghetti noodles to a large bowl, pour the sauce over the noodles, and toss to coat. If your noodles are sticking, add in some of the pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Divide your pasta amongst 3-4 plates, add garnishes, and serve.

I strongly recommend you don't permanently Mount your portable equipment on the 3x3s. I guarantee that when you finally move in, you will want to rearrange your floor space 'cause it always looks different in real life than on paper and if the equipment is fixed to the floor, you will be very frustrated. Also, you may need to convert the space to an appartment for Aunt Bertha and she may not want a 6" grinder in front of the big screen!
The way I handle my pedestal mounted machinery is to build my own pedestals. I get an old wheel from the junk yard and cut off 1/2 of the rim leaving the web looking up and the remaining rim looking down. Then I weld a 3" round pipe for the pedestal in the middle of the wheel web. Turn the wheel over and weld a few 1/2" rebars across the inside of the wheel rim to anchor cement, then fill the cavity with cement, flush with the bottom of the rim. Then stand the unit up on its base and put a smooth cement dome on the top so stuff will cascade off and not collect. You can get fancy by embedding conduit inside the post and integrating a starter switch in the post. Weld a plate on top to mount the machinery, paint it purty and you will have a stable, portable, good looking tool pedestal that cost nearly nothing.
you can post what ever you want on your own site, but i would ask that you refrain from calling my comments ignorant, you are with only 2 posts here a newbie, and should judge people by the merits of theri answers, and not resort to namecalling when you dont hear all praize. And secondly when you post somthing here you should propably expect to have people voice their oppinion, and your reaction to an oppinion that isnt compatible with your own seem a little infantile to me. my point was exactly the one adcart made about the money not going towards somthing usefull. I have every respect for your work, which looke prety good. but your customer looks like a nuveau rich showoff judging by his choices. Choices like installing all the expensive tools in the book in a room that in your own words isnt for wrenching but only for storage.
(ps. just thought id add a comment on the choice or the word "ignorant" i propably wouldnt be able to finish my degree in engineering nor attend Medschool, both of wich ive done on full academic schollarship, were i as ignorant as you claim.)

- - How to clean road salt/dirt stains on pants and jacket? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/outerwear-accessories/59473-how-clean-road-salt-dirt-stains.html)
How to clean road salt/dirt stains on pants and jacket?
My car was covered in road salt and dirt. While putting my gear away in the trunk, the pants and jacket was rubbing against the bumper of my car.
Both my pants and jacket have road salt/dirt stains on them. I washed it once like how I usually wash them. Cold water, gentle cycle, using Penguin sports wash detergent.
Penguin detergent is like Nikwax tech wash product used for cleaning water proof/moisture wicking clothing.
The salt/dirt stain was still there after washing it. So I wash it again using the normal wash setting instead of the gentle cycle using cold water again. The second wash did clean some of the stain off but not all of it (~50%).
Does anyone know how to get rid of road salt/dirt stain from waterproof/moisture wicking clothing? Should I wash it again using warm water?
Whats the fabric? What does the wash instructions saw on the jacket? If its goretex I would wash it in warm water.
8 Attachment(s)
If the water proofing is a laminate wash it cold with powder detergent. If its a spray on water proofer keep using cold with tech wash.
It's a Oakley Amplier Snowboard Pants. The shell is not Gortex. It's 15K water proof and 20K breathable material and has 60g of thinsulate insulation.
I'm not sure if the water proofing is laminate wash or spray on.
In my experience using the washing machine doesn't work well. So now I use a mild powder detergent and hand wash the dirty spots. Works perfect, even on white outerwear.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — The storage solutions category at Office Depot got some new brand muscle this week as the company added Rubbermaid to the mix.
Rubbermaid products are now available nationwide at Office Depot stores and online at the retailer's website. The announcement comes as promotional activity heats up around the back-to-college season which tends to start earlier and feature different product categories than K-through-12 back-to-school efforts.
"We are pleased to announce this strategic partnership with one of the leading organization brands in the U.S.," said Kevin Peters, Office Depot's president of North America. "The new relationship ushers in significant growth opportunities for Office Depot in the storage and organization category and beyond, as we explore additional avenues with the family of Newell Rubbermaid brands."
The Rubbermaid products currently available at Office Depot include various sizes of the Roughneck, Action Packer and Cleverstore Totes. The company said it plans to expand the category with additional products, however as is always the case with space allocations, the degree to which the category is expanded further will be based on sales of the initial product offering.
"Rubbermaid's partnership with Office Depot exemplifies how we work with our customers to unlock new opportunities for growth," said Todd Boerema, Rubbermaid's vp of channel marketing. "By building upon existing relationships with leading retailers like Office Depot, we are uncovering new opportunities across the marketplace."

A floor that bounces as you walk across it may just need to be stiffened with bridging, which spreads the load on each joist to adjoining joists, strengthening the whole floor.
If the china cabinet in the next room rattles as you walk across the floor, try stiffening that floor fast with inexpensive metal braces called "bridging." Bridging allows each joist to share weight with its neighbors and can cut "deflection"—how much the joists flex—by half. Even if your floor already has a row of bridging running down the center, you can stiffen it substantially by adding two more rows. The catch, of course, is that the bouncy floor joists must be accessible from below.
Start by making sure the original bridging is tightly fastened; add nails or screws if necessary. Then measure the span of the joists (the distance between walls or beams that support the joists). Divide the span by three and add rows of bridging at both of the one-third points. The joists shown here, for example, span 12 ft., so we added rows of bridging 4 ft. from both ends of the span.
Various types of metal bridging are available at home centers and lumberyards. To install the type shown here, drive the toothed end into the joist and nail the other end. Adding two rows of bridging costs a few dollars per joist. Other versions are just as easy to install and inexpensive. Measure the joist spacing before you go shopping; bridging is sized for joists centered 16 in. or 24 in. apart. Don't add bridging to manufactured lumber like I-joists or truss joists until you consult an engineer or building inspector.

On the one year anniversary of the death of Peter Jennings, the August 7 "World News with Charles Gibson" turned to medical editor Timothy Johnson for advice on how to quit smoking.
After listing some advice for what individuals can do, Johnson turned to a prescription for big government:
At the government level there are three proven
techniques. One is to raise prices by increasing taxes, the second is to limit
access by minors, and the third is to conduct mass media campaigns.
Of course there are plenty of critics who say those policies are utter failures, but Gibson did not seek a second opinion.
Here's what he might have found if he had:
Cato Institute senior fellow Robert Levy wrote on March 20,
1999, that "a $1.00 bump in price" from tax hikes "will mean $23 billion in
potential black-market profits" for bootleggers, about four times the U.S. net income of America's largest tobacco makers.
Four years later Tax Foundation economist Patrick Fleenor
took an in-depth look at how high taxes on cigarettes create a crime-ridden
black market for smokes, and a year later the General Accounting Office (since
renamed the Government Accountability Office – GAO) found similar results.
"As cigarette taxes
increase, so do the incentives for criminal organizations, including terrorist
organizations, to smuggle cigarettes into and throughout the United States,"
USA Today reporter William Welch quoted the 2004 GAO study in his July 24
article on a proposed 300-percent tax hike in California.
While Fleenor's study centered mostly on New York City's experiences with a black
market, he found that smuggling related to tax evasion is a global problem.

Jets matchup
Jets: A win would give the Jets their third 2-0 start in four seasons under coach Rex Ryan. (They lost their opener to Baltimore in 2010 but then won five straight.) It won't be easy, considering CB Darrelle Revis (concussion) will sit out. The Jets also are trying to reverse the road woes of last season, when they beat only Buffalo and Washington away from home.
Steelers: Pittsburgh is trying to avoid its first 0-2 start since 2002. The Steelers have been dominant at home, winning their last nine openers. Pittsburgh also is 7-0 at Heinz Field in September under sixth-year coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers likely will be without S Troy Polamalu (calf) and LB James Harrison (knee). But Pittsburgh will get back S Ryan Clark. Clark carries the sickle cell trait and thus sat out the opener at mile-high Denver. His condition makes it life-threatening to play at high altitudes.
Key matchup
Jets WR Santonio Holmes vs. Steelers CB Ike Taylor: Holmes, working mostly against Taylor, had only two receptions in the last meeting between the teams, the Steelers' 24-19 win in the AFC title game on Jan 23, 2011. But he did have a 45-yard touchdown on which Taylor fell down. Holmes certainly hasn't forgotten that the Steelers dealt him to the Jets for a fifth-round pick about a year after he was their Super Bowl MVP. And his veteran presence becomes more important considering QB Mark Sanchez is without reliable TE Dustin Keller (hamstring).
How they'll win
Jets: The Jets would like to run the ball more effectively with Shonn Greene, although they won't mind if Sanchez is as sharp as he was last week. Still, a good running game would help keep the blitz-oriented Steelers off balance, and give the Jets a chance to hit big plays downfield. Expect a bit more of Tim Tebow and the Wildcat, considering the success he had passing the ball against the Steelers in Denver's playoff win last year. The defense needs to be aware of scrambling QB Ben Roethlisberger and not give up on a play even when it appears he will be sacked.
Steelers: Pittsburgh again will be without top RB Rashard Mendenhall (knee), and will be looking for RB Jonathan Dwyer to build on a decent opening-night performance (43 yards on nine carries in a loss to Denver). The Steelers must do a better job of keeping Roethlisberger upright. He was sacked five times by the Broncos. With good protection, Big Ben should be able to find some favorable matchups against the Revis-less secondary. The Pittsburgh defense must get more pressure on Sanchez than Buffalo did last week or else he could have another outstanding day.
— J.P. Pelzman

Data backup reporting tools' trending features rank highly with backup administrators
SearchDataBackup.com readers gave the trending/analysis features of their backup reporting tools the highest ranking of any of the features we inquired about in a recent survey.
This Article Covers
Backup software
"I'm not surprised that trending and the ability to perform analysis ranked highly," said Lauren Whitehouse, analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "The more historical data one has, the better one will be able to predict what might occur in the future. This allows organizations to be more proactive than reactive, so it's less of a fire drill and more cost-efficient to acquire additional capacity before you run out or hit a high watermark."
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Greg Schulz, founder and analyst with StorageIO Group agreed. "Trending and analysis tools are becoming popular given their increased availability, affordability as well as extensibility in terms of coverage capabilities," he said. "Making informed decisions involves looking at past trends and activities as well as what's going on now to determine how effective data protection is being performed, and to further optimize, insight is needed to gauge success and where there's room for improvement."
Planning for future data growth is clearly important to respondents, but they are also concerned with making the most of their current capacity. Utilization reports were ranked the next highest; indicating respondents are interested in making sure their backup strategy is efficient. With budgets flat or down, it's hardly a surprise that storage pros are trying to do more with less. Third ranked was alerts/troubleshooting reports; and success/failure reports were ranked the lowest.
But, backup reporting tools are by no means essential to our readers. In fact, nearly 45% of respondents don't use backup reporting software at all. And, among those that do, more than 70% of respondents use the backup reporting tool offered by their backup software vendor. Over the last few years, most data backup software vendors have improved the reporting features of the suites.
According to Jeff Boles, analyst with the Taneja Group, "[Some users] realize the complexity of their overall backup processes, and may consider the more sophisticated third-party solutions on the market like Bocada Inc., Aptare Inc., and WysDM [now owned by EMC]."

-The medic didn't bother to wash me after I had been drenched in salt water. I shook for
hours, was itchy all over for days, and any voluntary movement I could make, which wasn't
much because I was one big charley-horse, registered like a hammer. I've never hurt like that. A
pill would've been nice. A pillow over my face would've been better. Anyway, I asked to be
compensated for a broken watch, and they said it wasn't required for the job, and they refused. |
-Thereby failing to acknowledge your suffering, | Phillip said. -Less dangerous events
followed, and at levels of awareness unencumbered by self- involvement you knew that the Navy
had served its purpose and you requested and received an early release. |
I hadn't thought of it that way, but it fit.
-Now, | the Philip persona said, with emphasis, -other miracles also took place. Your
shipmate escaped unscathed, because his purpose was to ensure you would be found. There was
also a disruption to your energy field. This offered us the opportunity to insert a pulse of energy,
which we subsequently used to educate you about the dangers that lay ahead. This type of event
occurs when there is an agreement between the individual and their Source, for it creates a point
of change in their evolutionary momentum. There are many stories of individuals becoming
psychically aware through apparently accidental means. |
-Why use a monster wave when a brick to the head would have done it, and left the rest of
me alone? | I said.
-We did not choose to be on that deck. |
-From what Bonnie has explained to me about your abilities, you must have known it was
coming—you used it for your own purposes, instead of influencing things so that I wouldn't
have been there. |
-Were we so arrogant as to interfere with the essence of personal evolution, neglect our
responsibilities, or so cruel as to punish ignorance, you would not have survived many incidents.
Yet you are still here, all be it little wiser for your experiences, but that too will change. |
(book) It would take me twenty-two years to complete Volume 1.
Chapter 37
Life Strategy
Feeling combatant, I said, -I had an allergic reaction to a cat that drove me from a building
into incoming shelling, and I've been saturated, dehydrated, and frozen. Am I missing any more
signs of Intent? |
-You chose your own path. View your experiences in this way, and you'll find purpose
unfolding with the dawn of each day. |
see what was so great about tearing my elbow to the bone, cracking three ribs, fracturing my
skull, and turning eighty-percent of my body the color of ochre and plums. |
-In the grander scheme of things there are no accidents; we are Phillip. |
Bonnie's voice had changed to a masculine timbre, but not as deep as the Kha- lib persona.
-Cool, hi. What about accidents? |
-In part, you chose this adventure in treacherous waters to experience the inept casualness
with which the bridge officers would treat your life. Did you not feel this way? |
-The thought occurred to me while I was congealing on deck like a Popsicle. |
-You were also less enthusiastic about pursuing that career, because you received what you
believed to be indifferent medical treatment, and no special considerations afterwards. Is this not
so? |

Dueling Fools
Bull Argument
Panning for consistency on Wall Street is like sending a chameleon into a Crayola box. Things change. Iomega is living proof of that roller coaster sentiment. In the early 1990s the company was relegated to the trash heap. It was losing money churning out Bernoulli high-end data storage drives and Ditto tape backup devices.
All that changed in the spring of 1995 when the Zip captured the imagination and pocketbooks of computer users looking for decent-sized portable capacity. Many people I know, including our bear Paul Larson, went along for what turned out to be an amazing run over the next year. Then the chameleon stumbled across the maroon-colored crayon.
Since the stock's peak in May of 1996 the shares have been cast back into the junk pile. The losses have moved back in. Pessimism has called first dibs on the top bunk.
But take a whiff and you'll smell 1995 in the air again. Early 1995. It's that eau de apathy that leaves so much in untapped upside on the table. The big difference this time around is that Iomega has already earned that upside. Earlier this month the company sold its 30 millionth Zip Drive. I remember two years ago when America Online (NYSE: AOL) landed its 10 millionth subscriber around the same time that Iomega hit the same mark in drive sales. Since then AOL's reach has doubled while Iomega's reach has tripled.
It is amazing growth, but apparently the investing community is content on discounting a standard. Zip has become a fixture with OEMs and in the retail aftermarket. Unbelievable! Even in jubilant times there was always the possibility of SyQuest or the LS-120 drive making a run at Iomega. They failed. Iomega has won. The chameleon has landed on cobalt blue -- and no one seems to care.
Jaz, Zip's big brother, has also delivered in the high-end niche market. Both product lines have also bulked up as the Jaz went on to double its gigabyte capacity while a 250-meg Zip was introduced.
Iomega was never about stagnancy. The company had always prided itself on listening to its customers and giving them what they wanted. That is why it was amusing to hear so many critics voice their concerns about how optical storage would hurt Iomega.
Sensing the hot trend toward rewritable compact disc drives, the company rolled out its ZipCD over the summer. While it's not as lucrative and exclusive as the Zip, it establishes the company as a significant player in yet another storage medium solution.
Just like Clik! -- another new gizmo from the "My Stuff" people of Utah. The compact memory solution (just 40 megs, but in a tiny two-inch square) has a lot of potential in the growing fields of digital cameras and PDAs (personal desktop assistants). The product also has a stand-alone card version that can plug directly into laptops. With 30 times the capacity of a standard floppy disk, and laptop presentations crying out for simple and portable data transfer, the Clik! clique is growing.
With such potent product lines one has to wonder why the stock is trading so cheaply. I'm sure Paul has his theories. I'm dying to hear them, quite frankly. To me it appears to be simply another case of "once bitten, twice shy" down a rabid Wall Street. Apprehension splashes on that eau de apathy pretty thick, you know.
The only two legitimate worries, profitability and management, are now being addressed. As jaded as the few remaining analysts have become, none expect Iomega to earn less than $0.30 a share next year. It's like a high school gym class the way P/E and teens fit this bill now. Dataquest projects that segment sales will climb by 80% from the 1997-1998 period to the 1999-2000 period.
That's the sound of money. That's the sound of the family of 180 million Zip disks already out there looking forward to even more siblings in the years to come.
But what about management? It's been a revolving door at the top full of Kims and Jodies. This month, Bruce Albertson has come aboard as president and COO with the credentials to turn Iomega around. His strength at General Electric (NYSE: GE) was in establishing appliance brands overseas. Perfect. Most of the non-Zip products, including the video editing Buz gadget and especially the ZipCD, suffer from a lack of peer differentiation. Malaise breeds a sector that becomes commodity-rich and margin-poor. Like dishwashers. Like refrigerators. That is what Albertson achieved at GE. He brought vanilla things to life. So, give him a chance. Even the Ditto line might succeed in setting itself apart from cookie-cutter equals.
This is an exciting time to believe in Iomega again. With a marketing mastermind at work, it appears as if Iomega is about to deliver. And, lookie, the chameleon has just stumbled onto green.

EY and Babcock to deliver RIZZO 17 support
Friday 3 February 2012 — EY has teamed with Babcock to win a contract to support the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in delivering a blueprint to help rebuild navy engineering capability.
The work is part of RAN's response to recommendations from the July 2011 Rizzo report Plan to Reform Support Ship Repair and Management Practices which looked at, among other things, the need for Navy Engineering to be rebuilt and reorganised to reduce fragmentation, increase authority and clarify accountability.
EY's Federal Government and Public Sector leader, Mark Nixon said the team was pleased to have won a role in supporting this vital work.
"The EY and Babcock team brings together dedicated specialists across various disciplines, with EY leading the process and Babcock supplying the navy engineering horsepower," Nixon said.
The project team will also draw heavily on RAN subject matter experts.
"The reform of Naval Engineering is a once in a generational opportunity for the RAN to maintain a sustainable capability," Nixon said.
"Together with Babcock, EY is proud to be assisting the RAN in building their future."
Deputy CEO Babcock Pty Ltd, Rear Admiral Bob Love (ex Royal Navy Chief Naval Engineer), said Babcock was delighted to be involved and contribute their wide-ranging maritime engineering expertise into this important project.
"This is a great opportunity to contribute to a very important piece of work. The output must have wide stakeholder acceptance and become a blueprint for navy engineering of today and the future," Love said.

International Scholars Join 16th Adaptive and Learning Systems Workshop at SEAS
Information and Systems Science scholars from seven countries and two dozen universities and research laboratories will arrive at Yale's campus this week to attend the Sixteenth Yale Workshop on Adaptive and Learning Systems, hosted by the Center for Systems Science in the School of Engineering & Applied Science.
Kumpati Narendra, Harold W. Cheel Professor of Electrical Engineering, who has organized the bi-annual event since 1979, says it has evolved adaptively over 34 years to address the increasingly cross-disciplinary problems that are arising in information and systems sciences.
This three day workshop will feature 42 speakers in six different topics – Neuroscience, Medicine and Biology, Artificial Neural Networks, Adaptive Control and Learning, Networks and Communication, and Robotics. Papers presented will include dynamic regulation of higher brain circuits, exploiting links between cancer and metabolism, and learning in humans and robots. A session dedicated to Networks will feature a talk on IBM's research initiative in Ireland on "Big and Fast Data in the City" and a session on Neural Networks will include challenges and research priorities of the National Science Foundation. The Workshop will conclude with a lecture on The Boston Dynamics Cheetah- a fast quadruped robot.
The cross disciplinary nature of the meeting is useful to systems scientists in all fields: "In just about everything we do, we are always working under uncertainty," says Narendra. "We use information to predict. Part of everything we do is to adapt and learn." Meeting participants will benefit not only from gaining an understanding of how researchers in other fields formulate problems and use methods, he says, but also provide many opportunities during the three-day event to network over coffee, food, and wine.

Specter of Long Recession Hangs Over Euro Zone
With seven euro-zone members already officially in recession at the end of last year, the currency bloc as a whole always seemed likely to follow at some point.
Survey data Wednesday appears to all but confirm that long-held suspicion as business activity in the euro zone shrank again in March.
The question now is how long the recession will last. The signs aren't too promising as long as the threat of a renewed debt crisis hangs over the euro zone.
Policy makers profess optimism. The EU's economics commissioner, Olli Rehn, in March cited signs of stabilization in the economy, saying the current "mild" recession could well be short-lived.
To be fair, the recession does look modest so far. The euro zone contracted by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. Based on Wednesday's PMI surveys, the first quarter should see a loss of output of around 0.2%, said Markit economist Chris Williamson.
But the causes for concern surely outweigh causes for optimism.
Unemployment hit a record high in February, adding to the pressures on consumer spending. The continued month-to-month fall in business activity in March, shown by the PMIs, suggests the region isn't yet pulling out of its downturn.
And despite a deal last month to boost the euro-zone's permanent bailout fund, the debt crisis hasn't gone away, posing the biggest threat to recovery.
Spain's borrowing costs rose Wednesday, reflecting growing concerns about that country's economy. Finance minister Luis de Guindos said this week that his country is in a "lose-lose situation," facing punishment from markets both if it eases back on its austerity, and if the cuts damage the economy.
That pressure means governments can't spend heavily to soften the slowdown. With the exception of big exporting nations like Germany who stand to benefit from demand in emerging markets, it's not obvious where strong, immediate sources of growth might come from.
Jean-Michel Six, chief economist for Europe at ratings firm Standard & Poor's, said Wednesday the euro-zone economy probably won't exit recession in the second quarter, but will continue shrinking — albeit mildly — until the end of September.
That would presumably be a longer downturn than Mr. Rehn has envisaged.
Mr. Six said that in an adverse scenario, if emerging economies don't recover quickly and euro-zone consumers cut spending aggressively, the euro zone could suffer a big fall in GDP this year — of around 2.5%.

Oh yeah…… May 22nd… get ready because here it comes.. (and remember there's one scene that was shot in Fresno)
Oh yeah…… May 22nd… get ready because here it comes.. (and remember there's one scene that was shot in Fresno)
When a new OS ships it normally takes a few weeks (months?… or in the case of Vista years?) for vendors to jump on the bandwagon. The firm bought a new server to be a PDF saving beast and I started to put Win2k3 on it and then went…hang on…. let's put 2k8 on it. And in fact it found the drives better on 2k8 than when I attempted to install 2k3. But there are still signs that I'm a bit bleeding edge….take for example the "!" in the drivers section….
See that? It's supposed to be fixed by this download.. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3580609&prodNameId=3580646&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-b8943f6c78904e42a93d8e6848
This component installs a driverless INF file for the management function that is provided by the ACPI\HPI0002 device on the HP ProLiant 100 Series platforms. The INF file prevents the "unknown device" entry (a yellow bang) from displaying for the device, ACPI\HPI0002, in Windows Device Manager. This component is only needed on Generation 5 platforms or later if the unknown device entry is present in Device Manager.
Except the driver doesn't work even though it's labelled a 2k8 driver. Now mind you …inside it's labelled a 2k8 driver, but on the outside of the HP driver screen, it only lists 2k3.
See that? No Win2k8 listed even though I just bought the server. It does have an ILO card that I need to set up. So now we're a three server firm. One SBS 2003 (32bit), one Win2k3 (32bit) running Live Communication Server, one Win2k8 (64bit) being a file sharing beast. And I may just have to play with a bit of TS remote apps and what not.

-(Room A) It's Time for a Paradigm Shift ( Robert Cohen)
I'm in the process of moving some documents from a 2k3 based server to a 2k8 based one.
This is an unscientific test of copying files from the 2k3 server to my Vista workstation:
Copy folder from 2k3 to Vista: 5 gigs, about 8 minutes.
Copy folder (same size/data) from 2k8 to Vista: 5 gigs, less than a minute.
Wow. Both copying files from member servers. Granted the hardware is not the same but I did a similar test (will get screen shots as well) from an XP box and it was like 9 minutes from the 2k8 box to the XP and 12 minutes from the 2k3 box to the XP.
And mind you this is with the netsh stuff off on the vista and all that….
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
Same folders, copying between 2k3 member server and 2k8 member server and a XP workstation (no sp3, just sp2)
File copying from 2k3 server to XP sp2… about 10 minutes to copy….
File copying from a 2k8 server to XP sp2… about 4 minutes for exactly the same file…..
Yes, that's XP sp3 on a Media Center edition as a test, and yes I didn't lose domain join, but I'm still not ready to give it the thumbs up at this time on MCE's. We still haven't gotten to the bottom of two MCE's that didn't like the install of XP sp3.
Bottom line if you have a MCE and it's domain joined via the banana hack, make a backup and be prepared to uninstall it if need be.
XP SP3 not generally available yet, after all | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com:
"Microsoft has decided not to release Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 3 to Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center as planned on April 29. The reason? A last-minute compatibility issue with a Microsoft application — Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS)."
Hopefully I'm channeling Eric Ligman correctly on this…. If you get a client to sign up for Software Assurance rights …which gets them in to Vista Enterprise (bitlocker and all that), you also get the right to run as virtual pcs under that Vista older OS.
I realize not everyone can be talked into software assurance/Vista Enterprise and all that, but just letting you know there are ways to get XP licenses in offices.
|What does it mean to have licensing rights to four virtual operating systems?
Customers who deploy Windows Vista Enterprise can install up to four copies of the operating system in a virtual machine for a single user on a single device. When paired with Virtual PC (available as a free download), this benefit provides the most economical way to address application compatibility and other scenarios through virtualization. Customers who do not deploy Windows Vista Enterprise and want to use the operating system in a virtual machine must purchase a license for every copy of Windows Vista that is installed in a virtual machine.
|In what business scenarios would it be valuable to have rights for four additional operating systems for each user?
The addition of four virtual operating systems is designed to cover a number of customer scenarios. These include:
In my Microsoft Volume licesning window I have the rights for the following software…. Windows Vista, or Windows XP. I also have downgrade rights for Office 2007 to 2003 to XP. So what exactly does downgrade rights mean? Does it mean that once I roll myself back to Office XP that I can't upgrade to Office 2007? Does it mean that once I use a license of Windows XP that I'm stuck with that license on that machine forever? Nope to both.

Customers who have licensed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 are eligible to downgrade to Office Professional Enterprise 2003 and all previous versions as described above. Customers who have licensed Microsoft Office Standard 2007 are eligible to downgrade to Office Standard Edition 2003 and all previous versions of Office Standard Edition.
If I have Windows Vista Enterprise, what can I downgrade to?Downgrade rights in the Volume Licensing programs provide customers with the right to downgrade to any prior version of the same product. Windows Vista Enterprise is a new type of product and does not have a prior version. However, customers licensed for use of Windows Vista Enterprise are licensed for Windows Vista Business, and it can be downgraded to the Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 98, or Windows 95 operating system. You would not, however, be able to downgrade to Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, or Microsoft Windows Millennium as those are different products and not considered previous versions of Windows Vista Business
If I wanted to I could run Windows 95 with Office XP is I wanted to really knock myself out. On those HP machines I bought that had "Vista Business with XP downgrade rights", they shipped with XP. That means I could stay with them at XP if I really wanted to and in say 6 months THEN upgrade them to Vista. Or I could install them with Vista and say 6 months later roll back down to XP (the only caveat being that the XP images were like OEM XP Home machines, they shipped without media and you needed to build your own recovery/repair media to take them back to that XP factory shipped image.
Buying those HPs or Lenovo's for Dells that offer the Vista with XP downgrade rights means that I can run either one, install either one, upgrade or roll back to either one, I just can't run both at the exact same time.

design a logo for a social networking website for gamers. Looking for an eye catching, cool logo that would appeal to gamers.
*edit I had a different summary
I think the previous description and contest details have limited the scope of the design so I have decided to open the flood gates and toss out all requirements for the design. The only criteria now would be to have the words "mutiplayer Central" or "MultiplayerCentral" or the letters "MC" in the logo. Good luck.

An electromagnet is a type of a temporary magnet where the magnetic field is produced by the flow of an electric current. This magnetic field disappears when the current stops. Strong electromagnets are used in heavy industry, such as steel-works, to move large pieces of iron or steel. Electromagnetic cranes are also used in junkyards, where a crane with a huge electromagnet is used to pick up, move and drop old, junked cars. Electromagnets are also used in electronic items like televisions, computer disks and video tapes.
At Jobmaster Magnets, you can find an extensive range of electromagnets. They are an excellent choice for automation and material handling. We stock small round flat face, rectangular and bi-polar types in 12 and 24 volt DC. Larger units are offered in 110 volt DC.

Canadian TV Game Shows: 13 Classics You May Have Forgotten About
Canadians have definitely given the world some iconic TV game show hosts (ahem, Alex Trebek), but we've also provided endless hours of cheesy, tacky game shows for the entire planet to enjoy.
Yep, we're talking about "Pitfall," "Chain Reaction," "Bumper Stumpers" and the like. If you didn't know better, you could swear that Canada's sole export in the '80s was game shows. No joke.
Don't believe us? Check it out.
This epic entry in the Canadian TV canon featured kids being asked questions about their mothers and families (now very inappropriate), and the much-loved Baking Round, where fun ingredients like chocolate chips, Gatorade and marshmallows were combined to make various baked goods (see video). Then Mom had the taste test, which was the climax of every episode. With all the touching and candid questions, a show like this could never air nowadays.
This game show goes down in history as having the best (read: worst) theme song of all time. It features -- of course -- honking car horns. Contestants are challenged to decipher vanity license plates. That's it. You can see how this game show had its limits. Eventually they had to run out of plate ideas.
This game's pretty fun -- two teams "talk about" people, places and things, trying to say every single word associated with the topic. The teams compete to finish up the list, and whoever does first, wins. You can tell the show's Canadian when they say "Talkabout." Just sayin'.
Just when you thought real-life charades was fun, "Acting Crazy" came along and upped the ante. Featuring D-list Canadian celebrities and comedians, average folk would be teamed up with the celebs to play charades. (Fun fact: Marcia Wallace, the voice of Edna Krabappel on "The Simpsons," was a frequent player.)
The concept is simple: complete the chain of connected words. From the fantastic '80s set to the awkward host back-and-forth, this popular game show really set the stage for future Canadian gems.
Think today's world is sexist? You should try to make it through this game, which pits men and women against each other in a series of mental and physical challenges -- often ridiculous, as you'll see in this video. (Boy, times have changed.)
In possibly one of the ugliest game-show sets of all time, contestants are tasked with identifying a newsmaker or event from clues given in the form of headlines. It makes up for the boredom by actually imparting knowledge. Think of it as the poor man's "Jeopardy."
Pretty much exactly the same as the other iterations of "Supermarket Sweep," the Canadian version features pairs of contestants as they answer questions about grocery store items. Then there's the infamous shopping round, where they run around the store with grocery carts, jamming things into their carts to up their final tallies. The cross-section of contestants in the early '90s is entertainment at its finest.
Hosted by Alex Trebek (check out that stache! And hair!), "Pitfall" was more physical than your typical game show, and it also utilized the audience. Most exciting was the Pitfall Round (see video). The company that produced the show, Catalena Productions, went bankrupt in 1982, so several later-winning contestants didn't get paid. Nor did Trebek, who keeps his bounced cheque framed on his wall.
One of the longest-running game shows in Canadian history, "Definition" was loosely based on Hangman, and had some "Wheel of Fortune" aspects to it. Every answer is a pun that works with the given topic -- and that's about as fun as it gets. Insomniacs, take note!
Ever dreamed of being a board game piece? You'd be in luck, then, if you were a contestant on "The Mad Dash." One member of each pair elected to be the "dasher," who would run the life-sized game board, while the "roller" remained at the host's podium until the dasher made it to the end. With such stellar prizes as a pen set and a shirt, it's no surprise this was super-popular.
Man, when we were kids, we really wanted to be on this show. It wasn't only because we wanted to sit in the cool race cars, but they had awesome kid-oriented toy prizes like the NES, a microscope and remote-control cars. Watching the video now, it seems like it was just a vehicle (pun intended) for kids to embarrass their families.
Sixteen contestants competed for an entire week, with one designated King/Queen of the Hill, who stood at a circular podium. The other 15 contestants, numbered 1 through 15, were seated in bleachers. Each had a special wallet containing a riddle and a varying cash amount -- and then, depending on whether the King/Queen got the right answers, he/she or the riddle-asker would win the coveted jackpot.

Squashes are one of the oldest known crops--10,000 years by some
estimates of sites in Mexico. Since squashes are gourds, they most
likely served as containers or utensils because of their hard shells.
The seeds and flesh later became an important part of the pre-Columbian
Indian diet in both South and North America. De Soto, Coronado,
and Cartier all saw "melons" (probably squash) in the
Northeastern Native American tribes grew pumpkins, yellow crooknecks,
patty pans, Boston marrows (perhaps the oldest squash in America
still sold), and turbans. Southern tribes raised winter crooknecks,
cushaws, and green and white striped sweet potato squashes. Native
Americans roasted or boiled the squashes and pumpkins and preserved
the flesh as conserves in syrup. They also ate the young shoots,
leaves, flowers, and seeds.
Virginia and New England settlers were not very impressed by the
Indians' squash until they had to survive the harsh winter,
at which point they adopted squash and pumpkins as staples. Squashes
were baked, cut and moistened with animal fat, maple syrup, and
Squashes come in many different shapes and colors including tan,
orange, and blue. There are many kinds of squashes, all part of
the genus Cucurbita (Family Cucurbitaceae). The terms pumpkin,
winter squash, and summer squash have been applied to fruits of
different species.
Fun Facts about Squash:
And why is the game also called squash? It used to be called "Rackets" and
a "squashy" soft ball constructed of thin rubber was
used. It had a number of holes that caused the ball to collapse
when hit hard.
