This is part 3 in the Resource series.
Windows Phone provides a series of resources to delivers. They include Brushes, Colors, Sizes, and Styles. Although a developer could create their own, it is the best practice is to use the Phone Resources.
The reason for this is simple. Phone users can change the theme from Light to Dark. Phone resources update dynamically based on the current theme. Where hard coded colors may render invisible, phone resources are always correct.
In the image above, the hard coded black on the bottom is lost when the theme is Dark. The hard coded white in the middle is lost when the theme is Light. The top text switches colors to adjust to the theme by using the native Phone Resources.

Source: High-Speed Rail Plan Scrapped
DOT Officials Haven't Confirmed Information
Updated: 1:53 pm CDT November 4, 2010

MADISON, Wis. -- The Madison-Milwaukee high-speed rail project has been scrapped, according to an unnamed source.
The source, who asked to remain anonymous, said that she and several staffers were told the "project is done" and all were let go on Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, Lobbyist Pat Goss, the executive director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, said the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has told a contractor to suspend work on the plan. He said officials sent an e-mail on Thursday to contractor Edward Kraemer & Sons telling the firm to suspend work on a stretch of tracks in Jefferson County.
Goss said the department didn't say why the work should be halted or if the project is being scrapped altogether.
The e-mail comes just two days after the election of Republican Scott Walker as governor. Walker has vowed to kill the $810 million project, which is to be built with federal stimulus funds.
Outgoing Gov. Jim Doyle has tried to lock the project in place before leaving office.
Officials with the state Department of Transportation have yet to confirm the details.

Missed opportunities cost CMU
Colorado Mesa's football team had designs on taking a big step forward this season.
The Mavericks hoped to have their first winning football season in five years. For the first time since 2008, they had opportunities to achieve that goal, but it didn't happen.
Mesa finished the season with its fourth consecutive loss to finish the season 5-6 (4-5 RMAC) when Adams State kicked a 39-yard field goal with five seconds left to defeat the Mavericks 19-17 on Saturday afternoon at Stocker Stadium.
"I can tell you we're not going to forget how this feels right now," junior running back Jake Cimolino said after the game. "That was a tough one. I know none of us want to feel that again. We're going to prepare in the offseason the hardest we ever have. We're going to buy in more and show the young guys how to do that and come back stronger than ever."
Cimolino, who had his second consecutive 1,000-yard season rushing, is one of the bright spots on a young team.
The Mavericks defense was solid all season, consistently stopping opposing teams from scoring even when they are inside the 20.
Mesa entered Saturday's game seventh in the nation in red-zone defense, limiting opponents to score 60.5 percent of the time they get inside the Mesa 20. Mesa's defense was 23rd in the nation in scoring defense at 19.3 points allowed per game.
The defense was solid again Saturday, limiting Adams State to one touchdown and one field goal in the red zone.
The Mavs were tied for first in the country with 22 interceptions entering the game and ranked second in the nation in turnovers gained (plus-32). They tied a school record with its 23rd interception of the season.
However, the Mavericks were 0-5 this season when scoring less than 20 points like it did the past four weeks.
Mesa started three different quarterbacks this season and played all three in a game a couple times, but two of them return along with seven starters on offense and eight on defense.
Mesa will need to replace five players on defense, including leading tackler Jake Edmiston, safety and punter Michael Brady and cornerback Ryan Lendrum.
The Mavericks lose six players on offense, including center Brett Boyer, two receivers and tight end Drew Holder.
"Our seniors provided phenomenal leadership and growth for every player in this program and for every player that will follow," CMU head coach Russ Martin said. "Our young guys are going to be winners because of the example these old guys have set.
"People looking from the outside don't see the time and effort they put in. They are outstanding young men. They've set the direction of the program. Is it an ideal thing going in on a losing streak? No, but our guys understand. They'll use it as a fuel for the things they can do."
Edmiston believes the foundation is set and Martin has the program going in the right direction.
"I think offensively, defensively they'll add more depth," he said. "There is so much young talent. It's heading in the right direction, no doubt about it.
"There are a ton of young freshmen champing at the bit. These guys are ready to lead. It's their team now. I'm excited where they're headed."

Sprinkle won the 8th International Mobile Gaming Awards as the Best Casual Game celebrated at MWC 2012 in Barcelona.
Gameplay: use a water cannon to put out the fire in each level. You control the cannon which is on a crane aiming as well as its height. Thus, making the most of items, blocks and gaps on the field you will find the way to bring the water to the fire focus. The less water you need to extinguish the fire, the better score you'll get. Bear in mind though, that the cannon is finite and if water runs out without putting out the fire, you lose the game The scoring system is similar to Angry Birds or other puzzle games. However, instead of stars it gives you water drops and, the maximum you can get is five.
3D graphics are simple, if enough for this kind of game. Water physics are great, specially when it gets into terrain gaps and comes up as geyser. Controls are simple: drag circularly for aiming, scroll vertically to up/down the crane and push the left-down corner button for sprinkling the water.
There are up to 72 levels divided in different stages. You have to beat the previous level to unlock the other. Some stages need a given amount of water drops scored to unlock them.
In a nutshell, Sprinkle is a great puzzle game which strongest points are simplicity and high playability. If you like this brain-teasing puzzle games but you're fed up of launching birds to green pigs, it's time to put all your energy in a nobler cause: save inhabitants of Titan from the flames.

|I put up this route working with Ryan in 1992, and the name comes from a condition resulting from electrolyte imbalance. Pinecliffe has so many good featured arete climbs, and this is definitely one to tick if you are a fan of this wonderful place. As mentioned, there are several possible approaches, but I recommend you belay the leader from the standing ledge at the base of the large open cleft, below and slightly right of the arete. We used clean gear for this, but there may be an anchor there now. It's a bit nervy and exposed getting to the first bolt, a balancy sequence that was originally protected by a fixed pin that disappeared in the mid-1990s. So don't be shy about placing some clean gear to make it safer to commit to bolt 1. Once you're clipped, the bolt protection up the remainder of the climb is good. As with all aretes, don't overlook lateral movement and sidepulls when straight up does not seem to be working. But once established, most of the action is on the right side of the arete and the last move is right up the prow. I also recommend the leader belay the second from a seated position next to the top anchor, then the party should rappel or walk off.

When an angel
snapped the old thin threads of speech
with an untimely birth announcement,
slit the seemly cloth of an even more blessed
event with shears of miracle…
– Luci Shaw, "…for who can endure the day of his coming,"
from her advent poetry book Accompanied by Angels
I admit that I am part of the problem. If there's a sappy Christmas movie on network TV, I'm going to be watching it. I have a startlingly large collection of them sitting on the shelf in the basement, and at this time of year, under the glowing Christmas tree, my body craves half-truths about "Christmas miracles" like it craves sweets.
I want to watch as towns band together to decorate and unlikely strangers fall in love. I want some cranky shmuck to discover the spirit of Christmas, this vague ethereal thing that somehow transforms him into his best self. I want candles and romance and mistletoe. I want the boy and the girl to kiss at the end, for that kiss to set the whole world right again.
I'll turn a blind eye to bad plots and worse dialogue as long as there's a happy ending. A work-obsessed PR agent forced to confront her past, present and future by the ghost of a party girl client? Yes please. Melissa Joan Hart as a desperate waitress who kidnaps Mario Lopez and brings him to her family Christmas? Um, why not?
It is December. I am eating sugar cookies for breakfast and watching all the movies. The Christmas music loops on the radio and I am absently singing along, wanting so much to believe that it's the most wonderful time of the year. I want the world strung with lights, wrapped in cellophane, hazy with Magic Snow and so many little Christmas miracles.
This year, it's dark and heavy, Christmas sunk-deep in the worst of reality. I don't have to tell you that. You're still reeling too, I'm sure, from the footage. The photos. The faces of all of those children and their teachers. The gash the whole thing left in all of us.
Last weekend, before it all happened, my Mama Friend watched the coroner drive past her house first thing in the morning and pick up her neighbor – the kind man who walked his dog through the back of their shared yards four times a day.
Last weekend, whatever small spark of life that rendered my pregnancy test positive slipped away during the fifth week, and I felt it fall like a star from my body.
The second Advent candle burns on the kitchen table, representing either love or peace (depending on who you ask), while somewhere across the country both are crushed in one incomprehensible moment.
I sat in a coffee shop on Saturday night with the fake fire lit and Frank Sinatra crooning about Christmas, and outside, an ambulance flew down the road, flashing, wailing, and I was so aware of it. The uncertainty. The possibility of more death. The reality that sometimes you don't get a "Christmas miracle."
Maybe the husband leaves. Maybe you turn to wake him and he is gone and you have to call the coroner on the second Saturday of Christmas. Maybe the pregnancy dissolves or never happens at all. Maybe you, who want love so desperately, do not get a handsome stranger and an unlikely romance. Just more loneliness.
And what do you do when the angels do not come? When that old Christmas magic is not enough? What happens when a gunman comes and your world shatters like dropped glass during the most wonderful time of the year?
I keep thinking about Luci Shaw's phrase: shears of miracle. The cold metal, the glint of it, the violent nature of cutting. I am oddly comforted by the language in the poem: a miracle as a sharp thing. A sword, a knife, a snapping of threads.
Because God this world is dark. And the rosy whorls of romance in the sappy Christmas movies can't penetrate it. And the cheery songs can't change it, and from now on, our troubles won't actually be far away. Life keeps happening even though it's Christmas, even though we'd like it to just stop for a few lousy moment so we can lie under the Christmas tree with our precious babies and look up at the light.
This year, I don't need a golden, haloed baby and his beatific mother posed neatly in a lit manger. I need the sharp reality of it. I need Love to come bold and defiant and wild. I need it to be strong enough and bright enough to cut through this dark.
I need shepherds to show up with their mud-caked fingernails and their dusty feet because this is not just about a baby, it's about a rebellion. It's about Light come to shatter this darkness, to cut the evil that binds hearts. It's Love stronger than hate, stronger than that which is broken inside of us.
I need the blood and the pain of a lonely, helpless birth. I need the dirt and the shit and the wide-eyed fear and the star above the whole messy thing, the only assurance that God is still in this. That even though it doesn't look like it at all, the promise is coming true.
It is cutting through the darkness now. Miracle. It is sharp enough and strong enough, and it will change the world entirely.

In terms of earnings, and I'm looking at it here on an adjusted basis, we delivered $1.18, which is up 31% over last year. I'd be remiss if I didn't focus on the weather, obviously, the fact that we had one extra day also helped. There's perhaps 1/3 of that EPS growth on a year-over-year basis, which is due to those factors. But nevertheless, solid, solid first quarter result and Luc will give you all the details, including some of our monetization and how we are able to use and then deliver very strong free cash flow.So solid results overall, I'll ask the team to give you the details and I'll wrap up at the end. Keith, over to you. Keith E. Creel Okay. Thanks for the comments, Claude. Let me say that while definitely a milder winter in 2011, 2012 first quarter was not without its operational challenges. But regardless, the tenacity and the execution of this operating team produced some pretty solid results. Let's start with a view of the operating metrics that we report quarterly. We always provide a good overview of our productivity and the fluidity of our operation. As you can see on the charts, we produced improvements across the board on all operating metrics. Due to a traffic mix change, our trainload was only up 1%. However, train length was up about 3% year-over-year. So regardless of the mix change, we continue to increase efficiency of our trains. Of the other metrics, as you see here at least by -- up at least 3% relative to last year, which has allowed us to absorb our growth at a lower incremental cost. All a very solid performance of a talented and dedicated railroaders we have from this team. Let's stay in the interest of providing a bit more relative first quarter comparison to proxy, let's compare our performance. In the first quarter of 2010, which is a winter similar to this year, we also showed improvements in all of our metrics. As you see, the only exception to this metrics are in train speed and locomotive productivity. These are 2 metrics which we have impacted consciously for their efforts to focus squarely on maximizing the throughput of our Bulk logistics supply chain. I'll give you a quick example. Of the sheer goal of pushing more coal to our supply chain, we're working with our supply-chain partners to forge to ensure that we consistently have a train ready to take advantage of our unload windows.

A/N--Two poems set from Lia's POV. Came to me. Review, please, please :).
Disclaimer--I'm not the talented owner of these books, I'm just a fan.
The world tips upside-down,
the flames lick at my face.
I lie in rubble, on the ground,
just feeling out of place.
I'm here, then gone,
and now I'm back,
but forever is too long
to live in a world of perpetual black.
Emotions, breathing... just not real,
and taste and smell are a thing of the past.
What I'd give up, just to feel.
The biting wind, the icy blast.
And he is gone, and she doesn't care
and they don't think I'm me.
And all I think is life's not fair,
and I don't want to be.
But life was never fair before,
and it will never be, again.
Each second, I want it more and more,
each night, as I'm tucked in.
Not by covers, or my mom,
but by dark, nothing, empty.
My raging mind is never calm
I count up: one, two, three.
I break the surface, break restraint,
and I can feel the pain.
But still my life's one endless complaint,
I'll never be free to gain.
Crashing, burning, burning, burning.
Losing feeling, world is turning.
Death is peaceful, but not real.
Never again to think, to feel.
Take it back, take it all
I didn't want to break, or fall.
Stop the madness, give me pain.
Existence is its own bane.
If you can call this life, congrats.
There once were mountains, now just flats.
Break, repair, and break some more.
Here in body, until I find the cure.
Mind, whirls, rages, rages, rages.
Stuck in thousands of bodily cages.
Nothing ever replaces what's lost.
Mass of wires, oh so crossed.
Nail me down, so I don't get away.
Because you know, I'll never stay.
Encroaching slowly on my domain.
Body breaks away from brain.
I am not one, still not quite two.
Nothing left for me, but to subdue.
And on rages storm, as I go blind.
Slipping, falling, farther behind.
And then comes dream, and sweet release.
Life may be a puzzle--I'm no longer a piece.
A/N--Review, please please :). Thanks!

Gilberto Montezano: Valley Cop Avoids Jail After Shaking Down Motorist For Beer
Gilberto Montezano: Trades in badge for a case of cold Bud Lite.
Hidalgo County Jail
For the third time since August, a cop in the Rio Grande Valley town of Edinburg has been terminated and faced criminal charges for varied forms of corruption.
In the most recent case, in April of last year, 30-year-old Gilberto Montezano pulled over a truck driven by Miguel Guzman and evidently told him he could go with a warning, so long as he handed over his ice chest full of brewskies.
Guzman complied, but ultimately made his story known to the Texas Rangers, who formally charged Montezano with official oppression. He was subsequently terminated and will never again be a cop. And he was also convicted in court, netting an 18-month stint on probation and a fine of $500. Let's hope he makes restitution to Guzman, too, and takes him to Academy and H-E-B and replenishes what he appropriated.
While that case involved a guy wanting to get a gratis buzz on, the two other recent cases concerned cops apparently wanting to get some action.

Last November, 42-year-old Cesar Gabriel was convicted of putting the moves on a woman he had pulled over. He too was fired and received 18 months deferred adjudication.
And then there was renowned local gang investigator Robert Alvarez, AS SEEN ON TV and, later, here on Hair Balls.
A couple of years ago, producers from the History Channel show Gangland talked at length to Alvarez in an episode on feared Valley hoodlums the Tri-City Bombers. Months later, Alvarez was accused of falsely reporting overtime (while he was actually canoodling with a woman at her home), boffing a second woman whose digits he obtained in the course of an official investigation, and getting a jailhouse blow job from yet another woman, this one a robbery suspect.
Convicted only of misuse of official information, Alvarez received three years probation.

I hope Father's Day was a good one for all this weekend. Here's the clever gift I made for my baby daddy. I took some inspiration from something similar I saw on pinterest.
Now on to this week's post.
I have decided to turn our little guest room SLASH office into a playroom for our daughter. Mainly because 1.) The first thing you see now when you enter our house is a toy store. Just a bunch of craziness to look at. And 2.) we just don't really ever have overnight guests that often. Except for my mom once a year or so. (Mom, we will still have a cozy place for you when you visit 🙂 ) Anywho, very soon our little one will have her own little pad to play in. I've been looking for a few key pieces of furniture on Craigslist and at local thrift stores for the playroom. One thing on my list was a short, round activity table. Just a little table where she can belly up to work on a puzzle or flip through a chunky book. I thought maybe I could find a table that I could just saw down the legs and maybe finish with a new coat of paint. I've been searching for several weeks now and unfortunately keep coming up empty, so I decided to make my own. I didn't want to spend more than 50 dollars. And I think I did it, with my husbands help. He did the sawing and screwing and drilling. I'm sure (?) I could have done that part too (I think?) . . . but I just wanted to avoid having several "oops" moments.
Here is what I used:
- 1 – 24 inch round table top
- 4 – 14 inch long wooden table legs
- 1 piece of two by four wood cut into 4 3.5 x 3.5 squares (for added height)
- 16 – 2 inch wood screws
- 4 – straight top plates (to screw legs into the table)
- paint
- sanding block
- an electric drill thingy
- 1 – person who knows how to saw, drill, and screw
Drill 4 holes to "counter sink" the wood screws into the squares. "We" did this because "we" needed to make sure the screws were long enough to drill into the table but short enough to not drill through to the topside of the table.
Screw in the straight top plates (what a weird name for that.)
Finally (and very simply) screw in the legs.
I don't know. When I saw it all assembled it didn't seem cute enough. I know maybe adding a coat of paint would help, but I felt it needed some embellishing. I remembered I had some trim left over from a pillow project that I worked on (but never used.) I could somehow put this to use on the table. I just had to figure out a way to attach the trim.
I found some cane round reed in the basket making section of the craft store. It was sturdy enough to thread through the trim loop yet somewhat pliable. It also maintained a circle shape which was helpful. I could simply gather the trim onto the reed and staple gun it to the underside of the table.
I don't sew, so of course I used good ol' iron-on adhesive to create the loop for the reed to slide through. The fit was snug, but it worked. PHEW! Man I was excited about that. I'm very much an "eye-ball it" kinda gal, so I don't really have measurements for you here. This probably explains why I cannot bake worth a darn. Here's some pics to show you how I did it:
Aaaah. Much better and so much cuter!
The table measures 16.5 inches tall. Just the perfect size for my tot . . . for a little while at least. It's a pretty heavy table so it doesn't tip easily. I know, however, that she will very shortly be standing ON TOP of that table saying "Ta Da" like she does with most things over an inch tall. Hopefully I'll be close by for that. I think I will go back and glue-gun a durable ribbon over the top of the staples. They are pretty deep, but better to have them out of sight for curious ones.
She's pretty proud of her table. She knows it's made special for her, without me even making a big deal out of it. Makes the little effort so worth it.
Until next Monday (evening),

After much discussion about action figures, stuffed animals, etc., inspiration finally hit while they watching Raiders of the Lost Ark… TADA! The Ark of the Covenant! And you thought I was being dramatic about the whole face melting thing, huh? Katie said, "We're both huge Indy fans, so this makes so much sense for us. And we'll probably put something tasty in it for the ring bearer and his brother to munch on during the ceremony." Katie and Kellen found this ark on Ebay and it even has fake sand in the bottom! Lolz. Of course, once their ring bearer opens it, the only thing that this ark is in danger of melting… is their hearts. 😉 Get your daily dose of Offbeat AWESOME Reporter Name * Reporter Email * Original text Enter the original text here.

President Barack Obama's proposed 2012 U.S. federal budget may have been perceived as only a modest attempt to rein in the ballooning deficit, but there's still a lot of belt-tightening that may affect businesses on both sides of the border.
The proposal, bound to be subject to an arduous debate before a final version can progress through Congress, calls for a five-year freeze in all domestic non-defence discretionary spending and a $78-billion reduction in Department of Defence spending over the next five years.
So what are the implications for some of the Canadian tech companies that are closely aligned with U.S. spending priorities? According to TD Newcrest analyst Scott Penner, it's a pretty mixed bag.
He sees the budget as a positive for RuggedCom Inc. , a communications networking solutions company which has electric power, transportation and military segments that are affected by U.S. federal spending. "Overall, the budget appears to maintain support for smart grid technologies and includes new initiatives that could increase investment in transportation for rail, road traffic and public transit," said Mr. Penner, who has a $26 price target and "buy" rating on the stock.
He sees a "neutral" impact on MacDonald, Dettwiler & Associates Ltd. "Given MDA's recent success expanding its international and commercial businesses, we do not believe U.S. federal budget developments are likely to have a material impact on MDA's results," he said. He rates the stock as a "buy" with a $59 price target.
CGI Group Inc. should see a mixed impact, he said. "We view any step towards resolving the current budget uncertainty facing U.S. government customers as a positive for CGI," he said, noting CGI's U.S. federal division represents up to 30 per cent of total sales. "While it appears that overall budgets are likely to remain under pressure, we believe that the impact on IT spending could be positive as information technology also presents a way to increase operational efficiency." He rates CGI as a "buy" with a $23 price target.
Full production at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.'s Horizon oil sands mine is not expected to begin until the third quarter following a fire in early January. That's later than Canaccord Genuity analyst Phil Skolnick was expecting, but he notes insurance will cover most of the costs and Horizon expansion plans are intact.
Upside: Mr. Skolnick maintained a $53 price target and "buy" rating, suggesting the market will eventually forgive the event.
Surge Energy Inc.'s latest operational update has reinforced Dundee Securities' selection of the company as its top pick in the energy sector for 2011. Highlights included strong early results from its Bluesky and Valhalla wells in Western Canada and a production rate at the end of 2010 that marginally exceeded analyst Grant Daunheimer's forecasts.
Upside: "Given Surge continues to meet and exceed expectations we are increasing our target price to $9.50 from $7.75 and note we still feel there is upside to our numbers," said Mr. Daunheimer.
A sea-floor diamond drilling program has confirmed the discovery of a second accumulation of massive sulphide mineralization containing high-grade copper values at Nautilus Minerals Inc.'s Solwara submarine base metals project in Papua New Guinea. The new target has the potential to become its second underwater mining project, noted TD Newcrest analyst Craig Miller.
Upside: Mr. Miller raised his price target by $1 to $3.50 but maintained a "hold" recommendation.
Andina Minerals Inc. released a positive pre-feasibility study on its Volcan project that outlined economics slightly below Canaccord Genuity analyst Steven Butler's estimates. But Mr. Butler noted the completion of the study itself "is a positive development that materially de-risks the project" and said there is still good potential to enhance economics down the road.
Upside: Mr. Butler raised his target by 40 cents to $3 and reiterated his "speculative buy" rating.

SIX young people have graduated with the Prince's Trust after learning new skills during work placements with Chester and District Housing Trust (CDHT).
The Prince's Trust team programme, which creates work and training opportunities for young people aged 16 to 25, has been supported by CDHT for more than two years.
The graduation, at Chester Town Hall, saw 12 young people receive certificates from Alex Waller, Cheshire Fire Service delivery manager on behalf of the Prince of Wales, after the students' completed a programme run by Cheshire Fire Service.
Each course offers work experience, qualifications, practical training and community involvement to equip young people with skills to gain employment or access training and education.
CDHT has provided valuable work experience and training opportunities to more than 100 Prince's Trust students over the last two years. Students have undertaken roles in areas, from resident involvement and administration to grounds maintenance and communications. Proud CDHT resident board members, Bert Ellery and Margi Lund attended the graduation ceremony.
Libbie Stock, CDHT youth engagement officer, said: "We are committed to helping young people back into employment. The partnership with the Prince's Trust offers the students many opportunities. I know our resident board members were proud to attend the graduation ceremony."
Prince's Trust student Demi Wright, 19, who had a placement with the housing provider's communications team, said: "I have had the chance to do things I would have never done, giving me a great sense of achievement."
Macauley Calby, 18, thanked Avenue Services, part of Sanctuary Group, for the support and training he received during his placement. He said: "I had some great feedback about how polite and helpful I was from a member of the public and I've learnt new skills which will be helpful with my future worklife."
Speaking at the awards, chairman of Chester Fire Board Cllr Eleanor Johnson, said: "It's wonderful to see partner organisations supporting these young people as experience has told us that 80 per cent of Prince's Trust graduates go on to better things. I hope the students have seen what they are capable of."
CDHT is part of Sanctuary Housing and is offering placements through the Prince's Trust work-based learning programme in November. Potential applicants can email Libbie Stock: email@example.com, call or text 07557 285441.

The Camaro's base V6 alone produces 323 horsepower, while the tricked-out ZL 1's 6.2-liter V8 engine fits an insane 580 horsepower under the hood. That's the same amount of power as a $63,000 Cadillac CTS-V and makes the 2012 ZL 1 the fastest Camaro Chevy has ever produced.

What do you think?

It will save them from poking the baby later on.

text: I've been using isyncr for about a year and I think it is great. It won't sync any DRM protected content, but it does a great job with non-DRM music. I loaded the WIFI app add-on and my music syncs with my PC while I'm asleep. I can recommend isyncr as a good solution and for me the convenience more than offsets the cost. Note that isyncr does require a program be loaded on your PC, but it is quite efficient and only uses resources when it needs to.

SANTA FE SPRINGS — Live by the three, die by the three.
That was the case Friday night in the opening round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 1A playoffs for Sunny Hills and Santa Fe high schools.
A total of 51 3-point shots were attempted in the first-round game as Sunny Hills sank 12 to end Santa Fe's season with a 55-48 loss.
The Chiefs ended their season at 14-13, while Sunny Hills improved to 17-11.
Sunny Hills will play second-seeded Alemany, a 74-44 winner over Alhambra, in the second round Tuesday.
Leading the way for the visiting Lancers were senior guards Shae Patel and Elijah Kim, who scored 16 and 13 points, respectively.
Santa Fe Senior forward Cristian Perez had 16 points and senior Jonathan Parral added 13.
"I'm proud of them (Perez and Parral) and I shed tears knowing that I'm going to lose both of them," Santa Fe coach Leonard Romero said.
"Shots were going up left and right in that first quarter and I said, 'ok, it's going to be a track meet' and it was. We just ran out of gas in that third quarter.
"It's a tough loss and we were prepared but congratulations to Sunny Hills, but I love my guys and it's been a great season."
A frenetic first quarter ended with a 22-17 Sunny Hills lead, after a whopping 16 3-pointers were launched.
Leading the way for Santa Fe was Parral with two, while Kim also sank two 3s.
"We haven't seen a team as fast as them," Parral said. "It was a tough loss."
"But it was a long ride and fun ride here at Santa Fe."
The second quarter continued with 17 attempts from beyond the arc, with senior guard Max Thurman (11 points) connecting with two for Sunny Hills, which took a 37-30 halftime lead.
"I think it was just fatigue and we got tired (third quarter)," Perez said.
"But this is what it's all about, playing in high school, the crowd and all."
In the third quarter, the early speed caught up with each team as Sunny Hills and Santa Fe scored eight and nine points, respectively. The Chiefs trailed 45-39.
Santa Fe began the third quarter by scoring the first six points to close within one, 37-36, as senior guard Michael Cole (five points) and junior Elijah each scored layups and junior Calvin Lawson (points points) hit two free throws.
The Lancers went on a 13-3 run after that and Santa Fe chased Sunny Hills the rest of the way.

AHi everyone! My name is Jaz, I'm new to cake Central.
I got a cake order to serve 100 people. The cake has a layer of stabilized whipped cream, with some fruit, and 2 layers of custard. I did a crumb coat with buttercream. I need to cover the cake in fondant and put some writing on top with buttercream and royal icing. And also some fondant decorations that I prepared a few days ago. I know I need to refrigerate this cake because it has perishable fillings. I know if I refrigerate it, the fondant will have condensation, but if I leave it at room temp for 3 hours after refrigeration, the condensation will dry up, but if I refrigerate it after I've done the royal icing scrolls and buttercream writing, will it ruin my scrolls and writing during the fondants condensation process? Or is it best that I do any decorations after the sweat has dried up? Please help... Thanks
AHi im new here too n also new to cake decorating. I would do the writing in royal icing on some baking paper n let it try then place it on the cake.
yes the water from the condensation has the potential to mess up royal icing--could you not use buttercream?
you have to keep this cake chilled-
it's a safety issue to each and every one of the 100 guests--you do not have the luxury of setting it out of the fridge at room temp for three hours on purpose--

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and looking to move up from a Big Green Egg to a larger traditional styled 60' smoker. It will be used primarily in my business for customer/employee appreciation functions as well as hunting camp duties. My needs are to be able to cook up to 20 butts at a time along with an occasional brisket and baby backs. I came across this on Craigslist. Anyone have any experience with them? There doesn't seem to be a company name.

Facebook buying Instagram for a cool $1 billion yesterday has sparked some chatter over the next big privacy worry, not to mention talk of a tech bubble. But Webmonkey's Scott Gilbertson highlights how Instagram built reliable web services for its super-popular mobile photo service.
Reliability of the cloud and web services is the issue du jour, and the industry is seizing on the fear with a big push toward on-premises private clouds. Instagram's web services lesson seems to support the argument for a hybrid cloud:
Instagram uses an interesting mashup of tried-and-true technologies alongside more cutting-edge tools, mixing SQL databases with NoSQL tools like Redis, and chosing to host its traditional Ubuntu servers in Amazon's cloud.
While Instagram is not an enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite, this iPhone-crazy app/service can take a licking and keep on ticking, apparently. So how did Instragram do it exactly? Proprietary secret? Nope.
Fortunately for outside developers, Instagram's devs have been documenting the tools they used all along. The company's engineering blogoutlined its development stack last year and has further detailed how it uses several of the tools it's chosen.
Webmonkey continues:
In a blog post last year Instagram outlined its core principles when it comes to chosing tools, writing, "keep it very simple, don't reinvent the wheel [and] go with proven and solid technologies when you can."
Among the newer stuff is Instagram's use of Redis to store hundreds of millions of key-value pairs for fast feeds, and Gunicorn instead of Apache as a web server.
"All in all it's a very impressive setup that has, thus far, helped Instagram avoid the down time that has plague many similar services hit with the same kind of exponential growth (Twitter, I'm looking at you)," Gilbertson writes.
Do you see a lesson from Instagram's mash-up when evaluating cloud architectures? What did it get right/wrong? Does it apply to the cloud? Have your say in the comments section, below.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

D.C. trash pickup schedule changes because of heat
WASHINGTON (AP) - The District of Columbia Department of Public Works says trash and recycling crews are beginning their collections an hour earlier because of predicted high temperatures.
Crews will begin collections at 6 a.m. Wednesday instead of 7 a.m. That's because temperatures are predicted to reach 90 degrees.
Officials say the earlier collections will happen throughout the summer when the temperature and heat index are predicted to be 90 or higher. Earlier trash pickup will also take place when officials announce unhealthy air quality.

BP snoozes on Monday, 12/26.
September 14, 2011 3:12 pm
Meet the new editors.
Since 2005, the Baseball Prospectus annual has been like my third child. I have spent more time with it than I have with my actual children, but it has been time well spent—the annual is the heir to the Bill James books that activated my love for the game as a teenager, and I've tried my best to live up to that standard, to make it a book you could read as well as use as a reference, to laugh with and learn from. During my term as editor, mostly in tandem with the great Christina Kahrl, the book grew in depth and complexity and achieved bestseller status. I am so proud to have done right by the legacy that the founders entrusted to me.
September 12, 2011 2:03 pm
The latest new feature at BP.
It has been a year of great change and experimentation at Baseball Prospectus, and we're not done yet. This week we will be unveiling several new features that we hope will increase your enjoyment of our content and statistics.

On the future of Transaction Analysis.
I spent most of Friday on the set of The View, wired up in Joy Behar's audio gear and desperately trying (and mostly failing) to correctly answer trivia questions about last season's game action for a live quiz show being beamed back to Japan. It was a strange experience, one made all the more surreal when one of my overseas hosts made a fat joke about me. After that, I wasn't much in the mood to think about what happened to Dexter Fowler in the fourth inning of a game last April, and my performance suffered accordingly. My day ended with co-panelist Alan Schwarz observing (good-naturedly, I think) that I sucked, so it was a good day for my ego.

THE biting criticism appears to have hit its mark.
If yesterday was anything to go by, embattled Blues star Piri Weepu has been stung into action.
Only 10 hours after the Blues slumped to a fourth successive loss - this time against the Sharks at Eden Park - Weepu was punching the bags in Monty Betham's central city gym before flying to Wellington for the second successive weekend to play a club game for Wainuiomata.
Betham, the former Warriors rugby league enforcer and one-time professional boxer, confirmed last night that Weepu had asked him to help with extra training sessions as he attempts to trim down. As the Blues' season goes into free-fall, his weight and conditioning have caused a furore.
The halfback found himself in the spotlight earlier in the week after his Blues captain and fellow World Cup-winning All Black Keven Mealamu publicly expressed his disappointment that Weepu had started the Super Rugby season in poor condition. Weepu quickly fronted the media, admitting that he'd been out of shape but also declaring he was working hard to return to full fitness. He also defended himself against critics on Twitter.
"I just enjoyed my break," he said. "I guess all the disappointment's only from myself and I guess I'm working harder in the background.
"Obviously, I'm a bit disappointed in coming back the way I did, but I'm not looking backwards any more. When I got here, I was a bit out of shape but I've made gains on that. I'm continually doing that and moving forward."
Publicly, Weepu put on a brave face about his weight issues but behind closed doors the words appear to have provided him with fresh motivation to hit the gym.
Betham, who started working with him before the Blues' tour to South Africa in March, said he'd seen a fire in Weepu's eyes this week and that the All Blacks veteran had even attempted to schedule an additional training session on Thursday - a day before the Sharks game.
"This week we did two sessions,'' Betham said. ''Piri wanted to train the day before the game as well but I told him he needed to settle down.
"Before he went to South Africa, I gave him a real thrashing after a game at Eden Park. I was trying to simulate game-like situations. I got in there with him, wrestled with him, pushed him around, boxed with him and tried to tackle him, all sorts really. Because he was playing again [yesterday] afternoon, I couldn't hurt him too much. I said to him: 'look, your fitness has improved, man'.''
Betham said he had not discussed Mealamu's comments with Weepu but insisted the 28-year-old was doing all he could to win the battle of the bulge.

Father meets new son via cyberspace

Denise Behers, of Clearwater, holds her new son, Javier Alexander Molina, while his grandmother Charlotte Thurkhill, left, and sister-in-law Barbie Behers enjoy the family moment.

Army Sgt. Antonio Molina seen here on a laptop monitor takes part in the birth of his son thanks to The Armed Forces Network and the use of a free internet phone service called Skype.
CLEARWATER - On Friday, Aug. 28th, Javier Alexander Molina entered this world at Morton Plant Hospital with the loving eyes of mother, Denise Behers, family members, medical staff and daddy, who was thousands of miles away in Bagdad, Iraq, watching every minute.
Javier is being affectionately referred to as the Webcam Baby because his proud father anxiously watched and coached his fiancée through the Internet.
Army Sgt. Antonio Molinas opportunity to watch his son being born, while serving his country, was made possible by The Armed Forces Network and the use of a free internet phone service called Skype. The father and mother-to-be were able to talk and see each other through the entire birthing process.
Obstetrician Krista Kant, M.D. delivered Javier. Kant has delivered many babies of military personnel in her career. Javier was her first online delivery.
Typically, expectant moms want their partners by their side during the delivery for support. Its not always possible. I think it was very comforting for Denise to be able to see and hear Tony in real time as they welcomed a new member to their family, Kant said.
The connection was made possible using the hospitals wireless Internet access, a laptop computer with a HD video camera attached to it.
Javier was healthy, and weighed in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces. Molina will meet his son in person when he returns home for a visit in November.
Kant is a physician with Lerner, Rudolph, McCance, Connor & Associates-Clearwater. All physicians with are board certified in obstetrics and gynecology.
Established in 1916, Morton Plant Hospital is a 687-bed facility and is located at 300 Pinellas Street, Clearwater, Fla.

ODESSA — Frazier Grade headed into his third-grade classroom, family in tow, holding a shopping bag loaded with supplies.
His teacher for the year, Nicole Gleichowski, smiled warmly at her first visitor for meet-the-teacher day at Odessa Elementary School.
"I'm Mrs. G," she said, offering that it would be fine not to try saying her full name. "I didn't even learn to pronounce it until a year after I was married."
Frazier grinned. He checked out the room, even got to pick out his desk, as his mom and dad filled out papers and asked questions, and his brother, Miller, waited for his chance to meet his first-grade teacher.
"I like my classroom a lot," Frazier, who attended Trinity Elementary last year, concluded after a few minutes. "I like that it's different, and it has more space. I think I might be liking to learn in this classroom."
Families for Pasco County's newest elementary school lined the sidewalk by 8:05 a.m. Wednesday hoping to get a jump on the chance to meet their teachers, check out their classrooms and get bus and other information before classes begin next week. A similar scene played out at schools all across the county.
District officials were hopeful that most of the parents who had not yet registered their children for school would show up on this day, so they'd have a better read on exactly how many students to expect. That number is more critical this year than ever before, as every classroom must meet strict student-teacher ratios under the 2002 class-size reduction amendment.
Frazier's third-grade class was already two students over. His brother Miller's class had just one more than the 18 allowed.
Odessa principal Teresa Love said that her school actually looked as if it will surpass the caps (18 for grades K-3 and 22 for grades 4-5) in every single room on the first day. She already has received two additional teachers and has asked the district to close the school for choice applications.
"The district will support us in allowing us to have more teachers," Love said. "But we want to make sure everyone shows up, first."
Superintendent Heather Fiorentino said her administrative team will begin poring over enrollment and attendance data after the first day of classes. Some schools might be over their caps, she said, but others might be under.
After getting a better sense of the full picture, the district will move teachers through transfers and hiring.
"We will be class-size compliant by October, when they take the count," Fiorentino said.
Some Odessa parents also had concerns about the traffic safety leading to the school. To get to the school, drivers must turn at an intersection without a traffic signal on State Road 54.
"I am worried about the fact there is no light there," said Laura Cornelius, as she waited in line for bus route information for her kindergartner, Leo. "They're going to have to put a light there. Otherwise, some buses are going to get creamed."
PTO secretary Pam Mooney said she hoped the community would come together to press for some sort of solution, perhaps flashing lights or a deputy to control traffic when buses arrive and leave daily.
"We are very concerned about the traffic on 54," Mooney said.
Fiorentino said she got a call from the Florida Department of Transportation early Wednesday, in which officials pledged to expedite the addition of a traffic light at nearby Trinity Boulevard and SR 54, and also to move up a turn lane extension into Community Drive, which leads to the school.
Despite these issues, parents and students were mostly thrilled to have the chance to see their school and meet their teachers.
"I'm half excited and half kind of nervous," second-grader Daelynn Benitez said after meeting her teacher, Joshua Crabtree. "I get to be with some of my friends I used to have in my other school. But I also have some new friends that I haven't met yet."
Crabtree shared that he was equally pleased to have the chance to meet his students and parents.
"It's valuable to see them before school starts," he said. "We get to make a bond with the parents and kids. It just helps ease the tension."
Classes resume Monday for all Pasco public schools.
