I want the event calendar on my site to work with the Outlook calendar, so when the users add events to the online calendar, they also can be added to the Outlook calendar (synchronize). Obviously, a site built using PHP can't integrate with a desktop application directly, so I am looking for alternative options.
Some options I found:
Using PHP ICAL library, that creates an .ics file and the user can download it and install. Not the most user friendly way of doing it, but might work;
Use SharePoint or Exchange server, but have no previous experience working with Microsoft technologies, so I don't really want to use this option;
Use Google Calendar and Zend Library (gdata), create online calendar and add events to that. Then, using Google Calendar Sync tool, the user can sync the online calendar to Outlook. But the problem here is the all users need a Gmail account to use the Sync tool—not ideal when you have thousands of users on the site. Unless I create one global Gmail account and create many calendars on that account, if that's even possible.
So my questions are:
Are there any Outlook plug-ins—paid or free (ideally)—that can achieve this?
Are there any web services / APIs that can achieve this?
Do you have any other ideas or solutions?

When President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney squared off Oct. 22 at Lynn University in Florida in the final presidential debate before the election, it was the culmination of months of hard work and preparation from a Florida VAR that helped make it all possible.
Modcomp, based in Deerfield Beach, Fla., provided the complete IT infrastructure necessary to run the event and provide Internet access for nearly 1,000 media and members of the candidates' staffs.
Under guidelines set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, the entire infrastructure had to be new; it couldn't be run off of Lynn University's existing IT for security purposes. That gave any VAR that responded to the request for proposal the freedom to build an enterprise-class solution from scratch. Modcomp, which had a prior relationship with Lynn University, won the deal thanks to its detailed Cisco Systems solution and some negotiation with the university, said Jonathan Greenberg, senior consultant with the solution provider.
[Related: The Presidential Election: What's At Stake For Solution Providers]
"We had to provide a VOIP solution, wireless solution and a NAC solution that we used Cisco ISE for," Greenberg said. The Cisco Identity Services Engine solution enabled Lynn University to bill the media and candidates for Internet and phone access, Greenberg said.
"They didn't want anyone permitted unless they had credentials to the access," he said.
Modcomp started working on the deal in June and dedicated full-time resources to the project from July until the Oct. 22 debate, Greenberg said.
The VAR had never implemented a debate project before, so it learned a few things along the way, including the Cisco ISE solution, which it had never sold before either, Greenberg said.
"We've worked with a lot of different technologies, but that was new to us. High-density wireless was also new for us," he said.
Modcomp was already certified in Cisco's data center offerings, but had some resources go through additional training to get ISE certified, as well as take some additional wireless and AirMagnet classes, Greenberg said, but he noted, "The class is one thing. Production is another."
Modcomp built and tested the solution before anybody arrived on site, but as is often the case, additional tweaking and fine-tuning was needed right up until the event.
In addition to Modcomp's staff, Cisco brought in its entire SLED pre-sales team from Florida to help with the rollout, Greenberg said.
"It was a ton of hours. Maybe I would have been nervous [the night of the debate] if I wasn't so tired. We were working 16-hour days, and I had one day off out of 14 leading up to the debate," he said. "During the debate I was relaxed. We had to make some minor [changes] to accommodate some people, but it wasn't too nerve wracking."
The debate ran smoothly from a technical perspective, and Lynn University is planning to use the debate equipment as part of a network refresh, Greenberg said. "They have a bunch of old 6500s and older switches and devices, and they're going to put in the Nexus 7000 [switches] running all 10-GB and some 20-GB backbone that they will slowly roll in to the production environment," he said.
"Definitely the debate was a unique challenge. It's different than other enterprise deployments we do. The biggest challenge is there's no rollback plan. Once it's there, it's gotta work. It was a great experience and we would definitely do it for another customer," Greenberg said.

I recently got elected to the executive board of Block "O" (which is the largest student organization and official student section for all Buckeye sports). Is there anything you guys would like to see from Block "O" next year (new cheers, card stunts, involvement, interaction, programming, etc)?
Just want to hear from the community, and you guys seem to be good at giving advice. I'd like to hear what both students and non-students think/want.

Mother-Daughter workshop for 4th and 5th grade girls (and mothers – yes, together!):
Mothers, do you want to talk to your daughter about her changing body but don't know how to get started? Or does your daughter stare at her shoes and shrug when you bring up the topic? Join other girls and women to tackle the subject together at an uplifting workshop which will address:
Connect with other women and girls and plan to leave feeling good about being female. Session will be led by RN specialist, Amy Sluss.
Register early, class size limited. Register as a pair, one girl and one adult woman (mother, friend, aunt, grandmother).
Take-home materials include a gift for the girl and 2 informational CD products: one for moms and one for dads. The follow-up CDs were inspired by participants who wanted MORE. Now participants will take home 2 hours worth of more content/information to help parents raise strong self-assured girls.
More than a workshop, this uplifting event will help your daughter feel good about being a girl and will connect her to other girls and adult women. Girls and women need each other. Sign up today to give your daughter the gift of information and a strong network of support.EventList powered by schlu.net

There are several ways to present text on your web page in exactly the font your designer decided; as an image, a flash hack, some javascript hack, dynamic fonts. But to this day, the only thing that seemingly works on all platforms is the old text-as-graphics solution. This is a kludge, of course, but for accessibility purposes, is using an image containing the text as an alt-attribute considered ok? Vision impaired users would get the text, as would search engines. Or am I missing something?
With some caveats.
| |||||
That's what alt is there for, for screen readers and robots | ||||
One of the biggest disadvantages with text-as-graphics is their inability to scale with text size (note: text size, not zoom). Sizing the image in ems might help to mitigate this. Also, bear in mind that maintainability suffers greatly when using images, unless they're dynamically generated. And, it's pretty inefficient to serve an image when all you want is a custom font - the file size of an image is a LOT greater than the equivalent text. | |||||
If you include images (via If the image contains text, and this text is (part of) the relevant content you want to convey, include this text in the No. While it would be no barrier for a blind or a text browser user, dyslexic or visually impaired users (that have images enabled) might have problems with text images:
Probably not much of a problem for short text (a single word, very short headline, call-to-action button, …), but it can be an accessibility barrier if used for longer text. | |||||||||||||
I see no problem with it. I've never heard anyone say that it's a bad idea. But try to avoid or do the following:
| |||||
Alt text's value is decreasing from SEO point of view, so it seems it we all can focus on accessibility and optimize alt text-s for screen readers. As far as I know, it has only some percent influence on your SERP ranking | |||
As others have said, if you do use this approach, you must provide alt text, however, I highly recommend you don't.
| ||||
That seems like a brilliant solutions to me. Though I'm not an expert, as I've never though about the problem before today, and I've never experimented or used screen readers. If all/most screen readers automatically read the alt text, and the reading flow throughout the page makes sense when using a reader, I'd say: Go for it! | |||||

New Single "Heart Attack" Available Now!
There are more fans of Enrique in India even greater than 25% of the whole world but still no concert in India, why?
And the concert will definitely be hit more than in any other country.
I think Enrique should plan a concert and trip to INDIA.
May be in near future , man......after tht tour......
I am dying laughing here... HA HA HA HA HA
~~ Anita ~~
But then he is gonna go only to INDIA..where its flashing...not to New Delhi and Mumbai...we would all have to travel to the center of INDIA
We all know his geography is so damn weak hes gonna think India is a different country from Mumbai and Delhi..........
That's nice..... What part of Brasil? That is where my husband is from......
I thought for sure he would do something in India this time since he is going to Aussie....??
~~ Anita ~~
My husband is from Sao Paulo, He was born in Liberdade but he isn't Japanese LOL He is Italian, Nigerian and Swiss..... I will be going there one day in the near future and I am excited....
Miss Piggy.. ROFL you crack me up... He does need to travel light and come to India... so he can do me a favor and eat some authentic Indian food since its my favorite and cant get over there to get the real deal!!! LOL
I just read this about Brasil and its hilarious... It amazes me that black people are hated everywhere... LOL
After the abolition of slavery in 1888, waves of immigrants from Portugal, Italy, Spain and other European countries emigrated to São Paulo in order to "bleach the race," as Luso-Brazilian authorities feared Brazil's black population would grow far more than other groups. These Europeans were granted lands as incentives to immigrate and some worked in an indentured fashion at coffee plantations. Newcomers and their descendants ended up "making the America," as they said in Italian and Portuguese, and some of Brazil's greatest entrepreneurs have Italian, Portuguese, and German last names such as Mattarazzo, Diniz, and Mueller.
This is how my husbands grandfather whom he is named after came from Italy to Brasil... he used to own a plantation... grrrrrrrrr
~~ Anita ~~
Iona, I was telling my husband that one day I am going to go overseas and visit all my friends and India is definitely on the list I got to come see you and Ravi!!! I got to go to Estonia and see CC and Portugal to see Sergio and Belgium to see Hildeke and eat them damn fries... ROFL. I hope I can make it happen one day in the future.... Before I come over there I got to go to Canada to party with Toni cause she doesn't remember meeting me in LA back in 2002 and I have to go see Sherri in Winnipeg.... I got alot of place to go and of course I will be going to Brazil to visit my in-laws they are impatiently waiting.......LOL
Iona... I will eat so much food in India... you will laugh.. I can't get enough of it...
~~ Anita ~~
Perhaps the case is not so much that he wont come as he cant come - maybe he's a puppet to the label he's signed up to - is given an itenary and expected to follow it..
Still if you keep demanding am sure someone in the management hierachy will sit up n take notice (we hope)!

Abduction survivor Elizabeth Smart and human-trafficking survivor Rani Hong will speak during a keynote address at the Saint Martin's University Marcus Pavilion in Lacey at 7 p.m. Thursday, capping off a daylong event billed as "Hidden in Plain Sight: Protecting Our Children."
The event, organized by the Rotary clubs of Thurston County, starts at 1 p.m. at the pavilion with a free community fair that will be attended by more than 20 community organizations and law enforcement agencies, according to a news release. Services and tools to protect children against exploitation, including fingerprinting, retina scans and Crime Stoppers "My Child ID" kits, will be available.
Keynote-address admission is $15 for senior citizens and students and $20 for adults. Proceeds will benefit local prevention programs and The Tronie Foundation, a nonprofit foundation based in Olympia.
In 2002, Smart's abduction at 14 from her bedroom in Salt Lake City made national headlines. She was held in captivity for nine months before being rescued and reunited with her family.
Hong was taken from her village in India at 7 and sold by a broker into slavery. She eventually was trafficked through Canada into Washington, where she was adopted.
The event coincides with National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

Red Steel 2 Review
A slashingly hackin'-n-head-choppin' good time….
©2010 Alex Baldwin – Features Editor
Let's cut to the chase: it's about time the Wii got some third-party love.
I can count the number of good non-Nintendo Wii games on one hand, and Ubisoft's Red Steel 2 has casually sauntered into that club, kicked off its boots and is now chugging down some beers with Boom Blox and De Blob.
Red Steel 2 is the 'sequel' to the first-person shooter / slasher launch title that provided a bit of variety alongside the glut of minigame collections, but failed to truly stand out. However, when I say 'sequel' I mean it in the same sense that Far Cry 2 was a sequel to Far Cry. (more…)

Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pinot Noir Two Brothers, tasted from barrel, is hugely promising. There is a level of purity in the fruit that is simply beautiful. The style is a bit exuberant for the year, but all the elements are very much in balance. A blast of sweet red cherries, dried flowers and sweet spices flow..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... Black raspberry and dark cherry mingle with gentian, violet, and orange rind, which are joined by black tea and brown spices on a silken and persistently juicy palate..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This isn't a long-term ager, but do give it about a year in the bottle to let all of its parts meld together. Right now, it's tight and oaky. It features intense, bright pineapple, green apple and orange flavors, with sweet barrel influences and a tenuous streak of acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard is a gorgeous, expressive wine laced with sweet red berries, spices and flowers. The inclusion of 10-15% whole clusters gives the wine its aromatic lift. This is all subtlety and class. The delicate, sensual style is immensely appealing."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Chardonnay Isobel Charles Heintz Vineyard is racy, elegant and perfumed. The long growing season yielded a focused wine that nicely balances richness and minerality. Hints of dried apricots, pears, light floral honey and herbs add complexity in the bright, focused finish. Here, too, there..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Pinot Noir Estate is fleshy, seductive and quite pretty. Freshly cut flowers, dark red cherries, mint and anise are nicely balanced. A vinous, inviting Pinot, the 2011 is best suited for drinking over the next few years. There is a tremendous amount of early appeal here."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The second release of Figgins—a single wine produced by Leonetti's Chris Figgins—is astonishing. Tasted in a lineup of exceptional Walla Walla reds, it outshined them all. It's a sophisticated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot, from the Figgins Vineyard, with gorgeous..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a surprisingly soft, round, delicious wine that, while quite backward and tannic last year, now seems to be up-front, forward, and easy to drink. Much lighter than I remember, with less color saturation, the wine has a dark plum/ruby color and an..

Peterson, a family practitioner with Bountiful Family Physicians, received the honor from the group made up of physician's wives in the area. March is Doctor of the Year Month.
Peterson graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 1972.
He has served on a number of local and state boards, including the Davis County Medical Society, and Davis County Mental Health,.
He has chaired the Department of Family Practice at Lakeview Hospital numerous times and has chaired the hospital's Medical Records Committee.
He has also chaired the Utah State Medical Association Member Health Insurance Committee.
On a personal level, Peterson was a Scout Master for five years, taking his scouts on a camp out every month. He has volunteered in humanitarian efforts in Peru and has served a number of positions within his church.
According to a statement released by the alliance, Peterson's personal accomplishments "have not been on a board or in a meeting, but in the exam room."
It goes on to say Peterson's "brilliance is seen through the care and rapport he has with each individual."
Peterson will now compete with other Utah physicians for the alliance's state doctor of the year.
The alliance is described as the volunteer voice of the American Medical Association.

In today's international press review, we focus on the two Swedish women who accuse Julian Assange of sexual assault. The Wikileaks founder wrote an article in The Australian, saying "Don't shoot the messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths". Also in the show: divorce soars in Iran and the most pampered baby in Britain.
Julian Assange is on the front page of several Australian newspapers including The Daily Telepgrah. The Wikileaks founder faces sex charges and risks extradition. He wrote an article in The Australian, insisting the media's role was to reveal the truth and keep governments honest.
Assange has spent the night behind bars in London. He is on the front page of The Independent and The Guardian: "How rape claims sparked the first world info war".
In other news, Haaretz reports about the United States dropping its demands on settlement freeze, that was until now considered a key issue to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Meanwhile in Iran, the number of divorces has tripled in ten years. Read more on this story in The International Herald Tribune.
And finally, The Daily Mail wonders if Nicole Davis is Britain's most pampered baby. Her mother Lisa recovered from a brain tumour and says she was scared of not being able to have a family. So far, she has spent £30,000 on her daughter.
NB: Lisa Davis is not a designer, as mentioned in the press review.

This doesn't happen.
This whole league didn't.
Part to form a Florida Republican congress and Allen west on whether he ran this going to be the GOP's bad congress what do you think.
Well how you doing the LA and now welcome -- -- back for -- anniversary here.
And I think that you have a good assessment on what could happen with a straw poll.
But one of the main reasons why that could happen is because we're -- within a week but senator Rand Paul doing that filibuster on these drone issues.
That I was a constitutionality.
Issue to talk about civil liberties and he brought together people from ACLU -- cocaine although over to the libertarian side.
And we know it's very important that you have to rally -- face which is what -- fact is.
The young people are rallying to lamb Paul -- because of of -- -- before his father Ron Paul.
So I think that is going to be no doubt she will probably clear.
Al winner of this straw polls all agree with you on your assessment but understand this is a marathon is not a sprint -- -- -- six things go a ways away.
I'm right I mean -- audited are well what does -- of course that didn't necessarily propel a presidential.
Nomination but you it gets early attention what is more striking I guess in in the son's case in this case rebels.
Is that he's doing it.
Moaning to the very.
Folks he's talking -- essentially.
You know.
Taking the -- -- -- itself for limiting it's only ten minutes is speaking time.
Taking that that the powers that be within the Republican establishment apart including you could -- John McCain.
And by extension Paul Ryan by trying to one up his deficit cutting plan.
Is that.
A dangerous strategy.
-- I don't think it's a dangerous strategy it obviously is his strategy hello.
Senator McCain -- senator Lindsey Graham.
Probably could have -- a bit better -- optics were bad for them what they did with senator -- after this filibuster speech.
Because while he was -- on the senate floor thirteen hours talking about a constitutional issue.
They were dead or at a swanky hotel with President Obama.
And that's where -- polish talking about.
And -- -- -- and we have to take our message of limited government fiscal responsibility.
Individual -- free marketplace of strong national defense to every quarter of this country.
There's going to be a -- -- and it doesn't your parents that dinner that you alluded -- was meant to sort of bridge a gap to get something moving on the budget.
Suggested to get something cobbled together so it's not as if they -- totaling -- bonds and having like lobster for the sake -- But but -- -- I think American people are stock -- talk about results.
So if you're going to have a dinner with the president people gonna expect to the next day to announce the results of that that are what are the next day about an extent.
Why not why not he's not go back to that movie Dave when.
Kevin Clive brought his CPA friend who right -- -- granted to the White House.
And overnight they found all of those different places where they could fix the budget and he announced that the next day in that cabinet meeting.
So don't tell me what can't be done and -- -- optics were bad for them.
So you know senator Paul wants to standards say you know the -- one ups -- ship.
I think if you say ten years -- try to do this of five or six years.
Now of course once you put that out there the onus is on you to coupled with a specific you can -- -- good point.
-- could see again thank you very much.
Always a pleasure thank you -- Allen west bullied and.

Click here for full election results.
The majority of Bryan voters say they want their municipal golf course to stay right where it is.
Tuesday, 72 percent of voters said no to a proposition which would have authorized the city to redesignate the property where the Travis B. Bryan Municipal Golf Course sits. City officials said there was interest from many commercial ventures to locate on the property, located on Villa Maria between South College and Finfeather.
"Voters and the citizens of Bryan are the winners tonight," Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski said. "Everyone exercised their right to vote and their voices were heard. I think that's important. That's why the city council wanted to put this on the ballot."
Because that proposition failed, a second, non-binding referendum was not counted. In that vote, 65 percent of voters were against buying Briarcrest Country Club.
Had the second proposition been counted and passed, a $2 million deal had been agreed to between the club's owners and the city.

Player Profile: Zack Cozart
Some things confuse me. Take the following list of thoughts.
Why do we need an I.D. to buy a pack of cigarettes but I don't need one to vote?
Why hasn't a big league team asked me to work for them?
Why complain about $4 a gallon gas when you pay $4 for a 16 oz coffee?
Why don't hot women love me? I mean, come one now, I'm The Oracle.
Why do people think that Zack Cozart is an impressive offensive player?
You're probably only actually concerned with the last question.
Somehow people seem to think that Cozart is some sort of offensive dynamo, a notion which the data simply turns its nose up at. Strap in. Here we go.
During a five year run in the minors, 506 games worth of action, Cozart hit .270. Yippee. Cozart got on base at a .332 clip. Wowzahs. Cozart had a SLG of .421. Wow, I'm about to fall off my chair since that number is so impressive. Nothing, n-o-t-h-i-n-g, in that line should make anyone excited. The fact is the bat he flashed in the minors was the average man's average. Yes he did bat .310 as a 25 year old at Triple-A over 77 games in 2011, but that was the first time he showed anything significant as a hitter.
How did Cozart perform last year with the Reds? Stop me if you've just read this, but he was average. In fact, a strong argument can be put forward that he wasn't average – he was actually worse than that.
Cozart hit .246 in '12 and owns a .251 career batting average. Last season baseball as a whole hit .255. He's below "average" in the average category. He did post a league average line drive rate of 20 percent, and his BABIP was just a smidge below that league average at .282. He deserved that batting average, especially when you look over at the BB/K column and see a mark of 0.27, two tenths below the league average. Face it, he wasn't, nor is he likely to be in 2013, a batting average booster.
Cozart hit 15 homers, and for a shortstop that is a solid total, one that was bettered by only seven shortstop eligible players (Ian Desmond led the way with 25). Still, I'm calling average here yet again. Cozart had a 38 percent fly ball rate and an 8.8 HR/F ratio. The big league averagesa are usually about 36 and nine. Cozart did hit 33 doubles, a solid total, but his SLG was still .399, a terrible number that was once again below the big league average of .405. Not much to see here again.
Cozart drove in 35 runs. Thirty-five. That's one less than Yuniesky Betancourt who appeared in 57 games and two less than Josh Rutledge who took the field 73 times. To compare, Cozart appeared in 138 games, eight more than the total of the other two players combined. Cozart and Ben Revere were the only two players in baseball with 500 at-bats and 35 or fewer RBIs (Revere had 32 RBIs in 511 at-bats).
Cozart scored 72 times, a fairly impressive numbers for a guy with a pathetic .288 OBP (a number that a professional baseball player should be embarrassed to have on the back of his ball card. The major league average was .319 last season). The run total was 10th among shortstops qualifiers in the fantasy game. Blame the lack of RBIs on the fact that he appeared 102 times as a leadoff hitter and 27 times out of the #2 hole. Conversely, the reason he scored so many runs was merely because of his spot in the batting order. There are many reasons to be worried about Dusty Baker if you are a Reds fan, and this is one of the best examples. Your manager hit a guy with a .288 OBP first or second in your order 129 times. That's unacceptable. It's also embarrassing. How someone could rise to the level of manager and have no concept of how to put together a batting order is truly shocking. Best case Cozart should have been hitting 7th, but ideally he'd be the 8th place hitter with the effort he put up there last season. You can't even defend the decision by saying Cozart's speed causes problem for defenses. It doesn't. He stole only four bags in 2012.
Nothing Cozart does stands out. Zack Cozart has only 149 games of big league experience, but he's already 27 years old. He showed little with the bat in the minor leagues, and he continued to perform along those same lines last season. He was also exceedingly fortunate to have a manager with no understanding of how the game of baseball should be played. Barring Dusty Baker again being moronic and slotting Cozart at the top of the Reds' order, there simply isn't anything I can hang my hat on here as a reason that Cozart should be targeted on draft day 2013.

Cisco this week made substantial updates to its Unified Computing System (UCS) and cloud automation portfolios, including a centralized management tool for large-scale UCS deployments and the extension of certain connectivity tools to support rack-mount server versions of UCS in addition to blade server versions.
New to the UCS platform is UCS Central, what Brian Schwarz, director, UCS product management, described as a "big brother" to Cisco's UCS Manager software. UCS Central creates a single management dashboard for large-scale UCS deployments and the many UCS Managers needed to control distributed server environments across large enterprises.
Whereas an instance of UCS Manager covers up to 160 or up to 320 computing nodes, depending on a customer's configuration, UCS Central can oversee as many as 10,000 physical servers. It's based on the same data model and API structure as UCS Manager so IT managers used to the UCS Manager interface won't find anything too new, according to Cisco.
What customers get is not only computing-node scale but also centralized inventory, server consoles, logs and other management tools, Schwarz said. He expects developers using Cisco's UCS API -- a list that includes well-known companies like Compuware, Splunk and ScienceLogic -- to build additional management capabilities into the UCS Central platform.
[Related: 20 Slippery Questions With Cisco CEO John Chambers]
Cisco's UCS launched in March 2009 and has become one of the networking titan's most successful product portfolios: a $1.6 billion business for Cisco inside of four years, growing 50 percent year-over-year, and as of September nearing 16,000 customers worldwide. Schwarz said the larger, more sophisticated customers who would require the UCS Central likely represent about 25 to 30 percent of the overall UCS customer base.
In addition to UCS Central, the UCS Manager itself has been updated. Version 2.1, confirmed Thursday, simplifies connectivity of Cisco's C-series rack-mount servers using capabilities like rapid application deployment that were previously only available for Cisco's blade server UCS configurations. Overall, UCS Manager 2.1 pares down the number of cables needed for connecting virtual servers, and also reduces the number of switches and adapters needed, according to Cisco.
Steve Kaplan, vice president, virtualization and cloud for Presidio, a Greenbelt, Md.-based solution provider, said Cisco's update would solve UCS challenges with customers for whom the C-series rack servers are a better data center fit.
"As virtualization proliferates, we are seeing an increased demand for huge amounts of memory, multiple adapters, specialized adapters and high disk-spindle counts in local storage," Kaplan told CRN. "These needs are better served by rack mount form factors, but rack mount servers have traditionally required a lot more infrastructure and cost than blades."

Houston Audubon is a chapter of National Audubon Society in an assigned 11-county area surrounding and including Houston. Its mission is to promote the conservation and appreciation of birds and wildlife habitat, which it accomplishes through acquiring and maintaining critical habitat as bird sanctuaries, education programs for children and adults, advocacy efforts, and land conservation projects. Its activities extend beyond Houston and its surrounding counties when necessary to accomplish a conservation purpose.
The Rookery at Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuaryin High Island © Kathy Adams Clark
In September, 2009, Houston Audubon celebrated its 40th anniversary in conservation. On September 24, 1969, The Houston Audubon Society was formed by a dedicated group of eighteen men and women who saw the need for environmental education for youth and environmental advocacy for wildlife habitat. Today, Houston Audubon operates basically on the same values and purposes established by its founding fathers which were: to promote educational, scientific, literary, historical, and charitable purposes; to provide education and instruction in natural science through nature walks, field trips, and seminars, both to its members and through programs in the public school system; to create awareness of conservation problems and to explore solutions for said problems; to promote conservation of wildlife and natural resources through education, maintenance and management of sanctuaries and coordinated activity with governmental conservation agencies.

I did not expect this hotel to be as nice as it was. The food was delicious, the room was clean,nice, and big. The service was wonderful, the only disadvantage is the great distance from the haram, and the shuttle service is not that good. Finally, I would recommend this hotel, however, if you want to be near the haram,... More

I bought this bed in 2007 after my son (2 years old at the time) had a difficult time transitioning from the crib to a small toddler bed that I had previously bought. He would sneak into our room after we were fast asleep and end up sleeping the night with my husband and me. We would wake up every morning and discover that he was once again in our bed instead of his. So we decided that he would probably sleep better in a bigger bed. While shopping for a bigger bed for our toddler to sleep in, we saw this bed and brought it home. We assembled it and realized that we would need our power tool to get some of the screws in, which wasn't a big deal to us (meanwhile he was taking a nap in our bed). From the first time my son saw this bed in his room, he was elated. From that first night we had this bed in his room, he has slept peacefully in it. This was a relief since we did not have to wake up with little feet in our aching backs. My son will be 5 in september and he loves this bed. We had to transition from the toddler mattress to the twin mattress (at the end of 2009) because he had gotten to tall for the toddler mattress. He loves it even more, even without the race track for him to play with. It is now his big boy bed and he even makes his bed up everymorning. This is a great buy! I don't even mind using a power tool to assemble it. It's not some flimsy peice of plastic. We are military and we have assembled and disassembled this bed plenty of times and it is stil just as sturdy as when we first had gotten it. A very happy customer with this Step2 product.

We bought this bed for our son, just before his 2nd birthday. The box is very large, and took up nearly all of the 6'6" bed of my husbands truck, so unless you have a large vehicle, have it shipped. It was fairly easy to put together, and is very sturdy. We currently have a toddler mattress in it, as he still rolls around a lot and we need the sides to keep him from rolling off. If you notice in the picture, the toddler mattress sits in the middle of the bed, with a gap between the walls and the mattress. We have to line all the gaps with extra blankets and sheets so our son doesn't fall in them, thus resulting in him waking up (I imagine it's not fun to wake up after smacking your head on hard plastic). We also have blankets at the foot of the bed, and if your little one is a sleeping wanderer like ours, then you will need to as well. The quality is good, but as for the design, I think when it comes to the "toddler" portion of it, it needs improvement. With that being said, our son loves it, and it got him out of our co-sleeping situation. He never liked his crib and didn't start sleeping through the night until just before his 2nd birthday, after we got this bed.

Perfect for my 3 year old son, he lived it as soon as I opened the box. He even helped me put it together. It was a lot of fun and very specious.

Defective Bed with BAD Service
By Linda
from Westminster, CA
Purchased two of these over the weekend at Toysrus. Took two trips because the box was so large. Assembled the first one and it had defective stickers, but was willing to let that go. Assembled the second one and the molded pieces did not fit - had to sand down to make it work. Later, found out the hole did not align correctly for the wheels causing them to be loose. Little by little, the frustration added up. Not to mention it was dirty and dusty from the box. Would return it but the product is so large to disassemble and put them all back to the box, only to tie down the trunk just to get it back. Called customer service instead about sending replacement parts and some kind of accomodation they can do with my experience. They said they will have upper management contact me. They contacted me today and said I would need to bring the product into the store, or go into the store to talk to a salesperson, or call Step2. It's definitely bad service with a defective product on behalf of Toysrus. I will have to see if Step2 will value their customer, as I've purchased many things from that brand. As for Toysrus - bad bad service.
So happy with my purchase
By Kendra M.
from Seattle, Wa
I bought this bed for my son at age 20 months. It is his first bed after his crib. What I love about this bed- it fits Both a toddler and twin mattress so he can continue to use this bed as he grows- it has a built in railing system due to the design of the car so he never rolls out of the bed at night- he loves it! He is so excited to go to bed at bed time and nap time. He sleeps really well on it every night since the first night we got it- bonus- my son can get in and out of the bed on his own, but it is a little challenging since the bed is large, therefore he waits for me to give him the ok to get out of bed every morning instead of getting out and wandering the house on his own :) Challenges with the bed- it is a big bed, definitely take measurements to ensure it will fit your child's room before you buy. - make sure you have someone there to help you get the bed from the delivery truck into the house, your husband, a dolly, a buff friend or neighbor. The box the bed comes in is between 120-130lbs- you have to assemble the bed and all of its design stickers, which was actually a really fun processAlso, buying directly from the manufacturer was the cheapest I could find this bed new, others had the bed for cheaper, but charged over $100 for shipping.

After 5 years, we still love these!
By lovemy4
from Wilmington, Nc
About Me High-end Shopper
I never write reviews but really like these beds. My twins have had these beds since they were 24 months and crawling out of their cribs. The raised edges act like side rails so they feel safe, smooth edges so no injuries while wrestling around the room. But are still cool when they are 7. Even though they are plastic, they are super sturdy and have held up through a move and 5.5 years of 3 boys jumping on them. I was beyond impressed with these.
He loves it

About Me Budget Shopper
My 3 yr old son loves this bed. He was previously in the convertible crib toddler bed. He would escape almost energy night. Now he's excited about sleeping in his car and stays there all night.
Great Bed!
By Brody's Mom
from Fort Worth, Texas
This product is great! My son got it when he was 2 and he is now almost 5. I still have it. He loves it. The only downside to it is that it is EXTREMELY heavy (took both myself & my husband to carry it into our house) & it can be difficult to put together. We were able to assemble it without any issues, but it is a pain to assemble & dis-assemble if you are moving. Overall-I'd purchase this bed again.

A little boy's dream bed
By kdawgahn
from Los Angeles, CA
I bought this bed 3 years ago for my 2-yr old son. It was our way of enticing him to sleep on his own. Wow, did it work or what? I had it all assembled in his room without him knowing it. Once he saw it, his eyes grew gigantic and sang about how much he loved mom and dad. He is now 5 years old. We will be converting the bed into a twin-sized bed with a twin mattress that we just bought over the weekend. He still loves his bed. Whenever he's being a bad boy, we ask him if we should offer his bed to some other boy who is being good. Yeah, this is kinda mean but his behavior gets right in about 2 seconds of us making this mean suggestion... =)
Love It!!!
By micah's mommy
from Spokane, WA
the only con to the bed is that my son wants to put it in the garage with his mommy's car!!

I'm kinda new in this topics, I've been using OPL to lauch some games in my PS2 Slim SCHP 75010 and most of them have worked terrific, except for guitar hero none of them run like they should be, but i've noticed in many list running on the web that both god of war 1 and 2 work with OPL but I tried to run them and none of them work, I load the game and all that, but as soon as I load my save to play the game gets estuck on the loading screen and never loads, so my question is if I need anny kind of patch or something to fix that, I use USBExtreme to instal the game and the discs are orginals.
P.S. I use the network adapter to run games since I don't have any HD to load games

Healthy things grow, Growing things change, Real growth is measureable.
YES! The dried peach was to DIE for - how have I never tried it? They are definately not in season here either (all our peach trees are covered in snow ha ha) but when they ARE in season it's like citrus in Cali - the stuff is given away because there is far more ripe than any family could possibly consume - and when that time comes - my Excalibur is going to earn me back my investment! ha ha.
I found a toona recipe that sounds like a no fail - I am going to make it this morning and if it is tasty I'll post it here. It has zero carrots Res - so rest easy there lol.
I'm sorry for your food fail yesterday. I had a food fail too I'm not yet willing to talk about lol (cause I am still kicking my asp for it.) I am lethargic today also - and up 2 pounds from my last cleanse day - which for most people is normal I know - but I have NEVER gained back weight post cleanse in the first couple weeks. I've always continued to lose. So I'm pretty bent out of shape about that.
I'm going to make all of my lunches for the week today - or plan them anyway. I've decided I can be 100% vegan at this point - but 100% raw isn't going to work. I can't afford to make myself a seperate dinner every night from my family, and I know I'll end up throwing in the towel if I try and have salad every night while they are having vegan delights that I love - that I know are healthy... I think to keep my sanity and eating mostly raw foods I'm going to do breakfast/lunch raw and dinner with my family 3/4 raw and 1/4 whatever cooked meal I make them. Once I get out of the post cleanse I think I am starving danger zone I'll push myself into 100% raw and do the 30 day's I planned. As long as there is one 30 days of pure raw before my next cleanse I don't really care when it is.
Oh yeah - and beer is good for my EVERYTHING Res! Really wanted one yesterday as I was watching them being consumed with chips and fresh quac... but I resisted and thank lemons I did or I'd have been up 3 pounds this morning! ha ha.
Have a good day kids. I'll report back with the toona review later.

Toona was a RAGING success! Recipe has been added to the box.
For lunch I took 1/3 cup of the toona, chopped up more celery & pickles and mixed them in. (I like super chunky tuna) I served it on romaine leaves and make a sandwich with the toona, spouts cucumber & a little avocado. (Nothing is complete till you add avocado.)
SO GOOD I might die. Death by toona. Worth it. Mmmmm.

Most important read for first time cleansers:
It looks like something I'd be interested in. Will have to make it when I get home.
So first day back at work post cleanse and I definitely didn't bring enough food. I was attempting to not overdo but I underdood. Live and learn.
I purposely didn't get on the scale this morning because of the cashew cheese and sour cream from yesterday. I didn't eat much - too rich - but I did eat it and I'm concerned I'm up.
I can't wait to get home and eat. I think I'll make Cornbleet's marinara and then get the ingredients for chili. Until Tanya mentioned it I forgot all about how much I love the raw chili.
Healthy things grow, Growing things change, Real growth is measureable.
Today is the first day of my Ease Out... just fresh squeezed OJ and lots of water which is going down well. Ended up losing 13 lbs in 14 days of MC. I am getting ready to start my homemade vegetable broth for tomorrow (it already smells DELICIOUS!!!) and I have lots of fresh fruits to juice for b'fast Looking forward to the new flavors tomorrow will bring Did about an hour of stretching/toning and 3 lb weight work today and I feel good Also, made a list/menu of some great vegetarian meals for next week. It's an exciting time!!
I am so thankful my body is starting to look the way it is supposed to again... I am barely 5'1 and even though 135 (my weight when I started MC) doesn't sound like alot, it is for my frame. My husband has been away at Officer Candidate School for the past 2 weeks and I won't see him for the next 40 days...he doesn't know about the changes I have made. It will be nice to surprise him and incorporate my new healthy cooking/recipes into our family lifestyle!!
Hey Guys,
Fun reading up on everyone's doings! I too gained a couple or 3 lbs since yesterday. It has to be from the salty stuff I ate so I'm not too worried. It makes me think about how much salt I eat which isn't that much really but it's obviously too much.
I haven't tried any recipes for the recipe box but that toona sounds great. I've been relying on my veggie soup and salads mostly. I made some nice guacamole and a jambalaya with soy sausage for the game yesterday. I didn't care for the soy sausage at all. I'm going to try for gluten free and soy free as much as I can and try to get more into raw foods.
I have not gone back to coffee which is huge for me. I think I'll save it for special occasions instead of abusing it like I was. I've been drinking mate chai and rooibos chai with vanilla almond milk and it's hitting the spot.
Nice to see everyone chiming in....
See you...

Ok, I was wrong about a couple of things yesterday.
1.) Igors bread isn't crap.
2.) although disappointed by the mexican meal the problem in #1 is similar in #2.
'The red onion I used yesterday was really bitter and it made both taste worse than they were.
So Igor's bread is actually really good and has a bready consistency to it.
The tostada meal was still really lacking but I was so hungry when I got home I threw it all together (minus the onion) and munched!
So there's a stay of execution on Igor's Bread.
Healthy things grow, Growing things change, Real growth is measureable.
Helloooooooo!!! I have finally arrived. Completed my 30 days.
So happy to taste something different. I made my orange juice today and it was the most delicious thing in the world. One orange and 2 tangelos. While making my soup, I kept testing the broth. It turned out fantastic. I think the only thing I ddint put in there was the kitchen sink. lol Baby carrots, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, butternut squash, green onions, red peppers and bell peppers, mushrooms, red cabbage, corn, tiny red potatoes, roma tomatos, basil, dill, garlic, ginger, celery and spinach. I can't wait to eat it. As I am typing my stomach is paying me back for sampling before my time.
Well I am going to catch up on everyone's post and look at some recipes. Is anyone else afraid to eat? Don't want to gain back what I lost and don't want to disappoint myself by eating what I shouldn't. I know, time to put mind over matter. Glad to see the gang is all here.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC News 4) – Mitt Romney's loss Tuesday night has some arguing the Republican Party needs to broaden its base to include Latinos and more women.
According to national exit polls, Pres. Obama won 71 percent of the Latino vote while Romney won just 27 percent. Romney may have hurt himself early in the campaign with his insistence on creating conditions for illegal immigrants to "self deport" themselves.
Archie Archuleta, of Utah Coalition of La Raza says to gain more acceptance of Latinos the GOP needs to soften up on immigration policy.
"That's causing us to look at Republicans as scams, we're beginning to look at them and not trust them," he said.
Women are another demographic that proved troubling for the GOP Tuesday night. Pres. Obama's win was aided by an 18 point gender gap. Some critics say it was Romney calling reproductive rights a distraction to the economy. The former chair of Utah's GOP party tells ABC 4 the remarks about "legitimate rape" from GOP senate candidates brought issues to light that struck a nerve with women and hurt republicans.
"It was our candidates' fault that brought them out, said Dave Hansen. "They were wrong in doing that."

Tapas are a Spanish tradition, but the small-plate concept has become so popular that even Asian restaurants have embraced it.
Siam Rice Thai & Tapas in Hollywood has 27 items on its combined appetizer and tapas list. Forget chorizo and cheese — here tapas include marinated beef on a sticky rice ball and fried oysters with mixed berries. The 3-month-old restaurant also shines on Thai standards like fiery curries and noodles both sweet and sour.
Tucked into a shopping plaza on Sheridan Street, this offshoot of Miami's Siam Rice Thai & Sushi has an attractive, contemporary dining room with a view of the open kitchen and a few communal tables flanked by high-top seats that are inviting to after-work crowds.
Servers are gracious and accommodating despite some language limitations. Speak up if you have any ingredient concerns, as dishes are made to order.
We started with a sensational bowl of lemongrass-scented tom kha gai that rivaled the magic of matzo ball soup for my cold-clogged sinuses. A little hot and a little sweet, its soothing coconut milk broth is also flavored with pungent galanga, lime juice and cilantro. With lots of sliced mushrooms and chicken, it's one of the best versions we've had.
Another of the 10 soups, a pumpkin-carrot puree, tasted like Thanksgiving with an Asian twist. Fresh ginger added zing, but it didn't compare to the tom kha gai.
On the small-plate menu, lab kai, a ground chicken salad, gets an authentic, nutty flavor from roasted rice powder that's balanced by refreshing mint, scallions, red onions and a tart lime dressing. Taro corn fritters sounded better than they were, delivering a lot of coating and just a bit of vegetable.
We were tempted by curried beef osso bucco and snapper in ginger-yellow bean sauce, but focused on favorites on the 30-item main-dish list.
