Groupware VMs for Evaluation
The Mountain View CA startup WireLoad is offering current versions of its group suites Scalix and Zimbra as virtual appliances.
WireLoad, which itself provides email and groupware services, makes the free images available on its Email Service Guide (ESG) webpage that assembles the information on the subject for customers and interested parties. WireLoad emphasizes that the virtual appliances are not yet production-ready, but can serve in evaluating the various groupware products.
The Zimba VMware image uses the newest open source version 6.03 of the groupware product. The software is installed on an Ubuntu 8.04.3 server per the official announcement. Further details on configuration and administration are on the Zimba download page.
The Scalix VM uses the community edition of the software in the current version 11.4.5, with CentOS 5.4 as its platform. Further details are on the Scalix download page.
The virtual appliance images were created with VMware Server 2 and should work with the newer VMware products such as VMware Fusion, WMware Player and VMware Workstation.

Letting Your Accounts Collect Dust
Sitting on your duff and waiting for your investments to eventually pan out isn't the worst idea in the world, but it's not a good one. The investment landscape isn't static. So get active — that means reviewing your investments on a regular basis, and adjusting based on your asset allocations and market conditions.
Issues of "weighting" might come into play as those changes occur: Let's say you have $2,000 invested — half in stocks and half in bonds. In a few years, if bonds stay flat while your stocks grow by 50%, you'll have $1,500 in stocks and $1,000 in bonds, or a 60/40 mix instead of your original 50/50. Depending on your preferred asset mix, you might need to re-balance your allocations.
Not to mention, if the landscape points to a major shift — say, rising interest rates threaten to hurt your bond holdings, or a trend bodes well for a particular asset class — you'll want to put yourself in a position to win (or not lose).

Nine Eyes
Artist Jon Rafman's cleverly-edited Google Streetview images get a New Museum group show
Montreal-based artist Jon Rafman pores over thousands of Google Maps Streetview images, amassing the most intriguing assortment of real life literally captured on the road. Publishing a book in 2009, Rafman continues to explore how—like an admissible Peeping Tom—the Internet changes the public's perception of personal space with his Tumblr blog Nine Eyes.
A selection of photos from Nine Eyes is currently on view in the "Free" exhibition at NYC's New Museum. A group show, "Free" explores the expanded shared space and how artists are interpreting this. "Although the Google search engine may be seen as benevolent, Google Street Views present a universe observed by the detached gaze of an indifferent Being," writes Rafman in an essay explaining his project. "Its cameras witness but do not act in history. For all Google cares, the world could be absent of moral dimension."
The quality of the images captured by the roving fleet of Google's vehicles vary in quality as do the reaction of the subjects captured. Some court the attention, others hide their faces. Google intentionally blurs the faces, but it's a moot point—for our outdoor lives are on parade.
"Free" is on view at the New Museum through 23 January 2011. See more images from Nine Eyes after the jump.

A: Snow at 46 degrees isn't out of the question. Below is the answer I did for a question similar to yours about four years ago. The snow expert I consulted once saw snow at 50 degrees, but he notes that such snow is more likely at high elevations, such as in Colorado.
Also, if the 46 degrees was not recorded at your co-worker's house, it's possible that he lives in a place that's a few degrees colder than the location were the temperature was measured.
But, based on his answer, your co-worker could be right.
Also, as the answer below notes, other kinds of ice fall from the sky and some can be confused with snow. In some cases, you'd have to be an expert meteorologist to answer.
Here's our 2000 answer to a question about what's the warmest temperature on record when snow fell:
Such records aren't kept, but Nolen Doesken of Colorado State University, has seen snow falling in Colorado at 50 Degrees. Snow drags down cool air and temperatures drop in minutes. Other kinds of ice can fall at higher temperatures.
Doesken, who is assistant Colorado State Climatologist and author of The Snow Booklet, says the 50-degree snow came during "convective" storms, that is showers or thunderstorms, when the sun had warmed the ground, but the air aloft was still very cold. This is more likely at high altitudes, in places such as Colorado, during the spring. "April is a prime time for seeing this," he says.
In the Midwest, about the warmest temperature at which snow is likely would be around 40 degrees, he says. In both cases, the falling snow drags down cold air cooling the air near the ground soon after the snow starts. Still, he says, you could see snow falling when the temperatures are in the high 30s or even in the 40s.
Snow forms when water vapor in the air turns directly into ice, without first condensing into water drops.
Another kind of ice that might be confused with snow is graupel. It forms when ice crystals, maybe snow crystals, fall through cloud droplets that are "supercooled," that is they are liquid even though they are colder than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. These stick to the falling ice.
Doesken says snow usually falls at about six feet per second or slower, while graupel falls faster. You might also mistake soft hail; that is small hailstones that haven't completely frozen, for snow. (Related: How hail forms)

Knitters came together this week in Cambridge to celebrate the results of a knitting marathon.
Almost 80 villagers from Barton helped create a 1,420ft scarf during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee earlier this summer, parading it around for others to enjoy, Cambridge News reports.
But now that the partying is over, it has been split up into a series of blankets, recycling the knitted sections to help people at homeless charity Jimmy's Night Shelter and the Home Meadow Care Home in Toft.
This week they finally dropped off the blankets to some very grateful recipients.
Amy Winterbourne, an Anglia Ruskin student from Barton who spearheaded the project, talked to the newspaper after dropping off 16 blankets to the care home.
"They were really happy and they loved the bright colours. One little old lady was so pleased she did a little dance with her blanket," the 23-year-old joked.
Emma McIntosh, home manager at the care centre, said: "The residents love it when people come in and the blankets are definitely welcome because a lot of our residents feel the cold."
A further 16 were given to the shelter, much to the delight of staff and residents.
The group still has a selection of blankets and are looking for more causes nearby to help with.
Overall the knitting pattern raised more than £1,000 for charity, with some participants knitting for up to six hours a day from January!
But it wasn't only women getting involved, as an all-male knitting club joined in, making scarf sections in local pubs with the help of a pint or two.
This project might seem a lot to undertake, but calling on the community to help out can ease the pressure, and even help bring people together who may not ordinarily interact.

Will adding one or more authorized users (my husband and my daughter) to my credit card accounts affect me negatively? My daughter will not have a card to use; I only want to help establish her credit.
Dear AGF,
There is no indication on your individual report that there are authorized users associated with the account. So, simply adding authorized users to your credit card accounts will not have a negative effect on your credit report or credit scores.
But the way they use your account could impact your creditworthiness. Keep in mind that you are fully responsible for any charges made on your card by an authorized user. If they abuse the privilege of being an authorized user, you could find yourself with large debts that you are unable to pay.
When you add authorized users, the account will appear on their credit reports, too. If the account remains positive with a low balance, it can certainly help someone like your daughter who is trying to establish her credit history.
The same is true about adding someone as a joint account holder. It will be reported on both individual's credit reports. The difference is that a joint holder is fully responsible for making payments and cannot easily be removed from the account if there is an outstanding balance.
As long as the balance on the card remains low and the payments continue to be made on time, the account can serve as a positive credit reference for each individual who is associated with it whether as the individual owner, joint owner, or authorized user.
It is great that you are going to help your daughter begin to build her credit references. Please remember to also help her learn the difference in credit and debt and to live credit smart.
Thanks for asking.
The "Ask Experian" team

No confirmation I will get mine at that time.
I will not recommend or purchase any more Epson Professional Imaging Products by Epson America, Inc. or trust my business to Professional Marketing. Try Mimaki, Roland, Cannon, Mutoch or Hewlett Packard.
