When it comes to the masculine/feminine spectrum, I've always placed myself at the far end of pink. That being said, I am most definitely aware the masculine/feminine are social constructs that we use to categorize people by gender (which is also a social construct). I mean, what is inherently feminine about bows and dolls? Nothing, really, other than the fact that it's these things that we prescribe to girls before they even realize whether or not they are "girls". This spectrum does NOT have anything to do with the gender binary that is so problematic in this day and age. I'm using these terms purely for what we consider things to be traditional masculine, such as tools and sports and trucks, and feminine, such dolls and pink and flowers.
Once I started to identify as a feminist, I spent a bit of time trying to reconcile these two parts of myself. This desire for anything ruffled and sweet, while also recognizing that these are things that the patriarchy told me to like.
Back when I was pregnant, I used to spend a lot of time on the Reddit parenting subs. One question that really stuck with me, and made me realize how problematic our understanding of femininity through the lens of feminism was what is your hill to die on? That is, what is one issue that you will never compromise on.
There were the usual answers; vaccines, no TV, etc. What really surprised me, however, was that SO many women had such convictions against feminine toys and products for their daughters. Not their sons, mind you; the idea that toys and products shouldn't be gendered was a common value, but that seemed to only go so far as to when little boys wanted to play with Barbies. If a little girl wanted to play with a doll? Oh NO, we need to give her the trucks and the doctor kits to show her that she can be anything she wants to be. That is, roles that have been traditionally assigned to males.
I feel like there may be a reactionary kind of thing going on here. That is, white women earn only seventy-seven cents for every dollar that a white man makes. The numbers are even more disproportionate when you look at salaries for women of color. This is unacceptable, on SO many levels. We need to work toward true equality between men and women in the workforce; this is non-negotiable. So perhaps it's this problem that is causing a reaction so strong. It's not that feminine toys are bad, but we do just need to encourage our daughters to see the same value within themselves that sons are taught through their toys.
Here is where it gets tricky, however. Because I have seen a reaction against things that are considered feminine within these "feminist" circles. I'm not supposed to wear high heels because they were traditionally required in the workplace and home by men. I'm not supposed to want to be a stay-at-home mom because I have much more potential than that! My favorite color isn't allowed to be pink, because that's just too delicate for me as a "strong" woman.
I call bullshit.
I'm afraid that this shunning of anything that we consider "feminine" is almost doing the opposite. It's creating a new form of misogyny in which we place no value on femininity, or traits that are traditionally female, at all. Are Barbies problematic because they portray women as having unattainable bodies? Sure, I guess. There's a lot of shit wrong with toys these days. But playing with a doll shouldn't just be problematic overall, for any gender.
I say that my femininity is an act of feminism because I've been told what I should be and look like from a thousand different people and places. I'm constantly inundated with images of the "perfect" woman, with the clothes that I'm supposed to wear and the traits that I'm supposed to cultivate. And you know what? This is what I've chosen for ME.
Pink is a style. It's not a value. I express my femininity by wearing dresses, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I somehow place importance on it as a woman. Because being feminine has absolutely nothing to do with being a woman.
There is a deep subversion to embracing these things that the dominant class values and using them in a way that goes against how they are traditionally prescribed. And I'm being my authentic self, which is probably the most radical thing you can do as a feminist.
Joelle Charming is a place for me to explore my femininity through the lens of feminism. If you are interested in continuing this conversation, please join me on Facebook in Feminist Happy Hour.

Pumpkin Risotto
Hello & Happy Thursday!!
In all honesty, I think it's been since 2007 that I first experienced risotto, and it wasn't the vegan kind. If you've ever tried real deal, it's amazing, rich, cheesy,..but heavy. While there are a myriad of vegan cheese options, some things are just hard to replicate.
A good risotto would be high on that list.
Your basic vegan cheese typically comes in the everyday varieties, such as cheddar, maybe a spicy cheddar, and mozzarella unless you have access to a fancy soft cheese, but flavors are not all too impressive. (except Miyokos, love her stuff!)
However, when it comes to creating a vegan risotto, the flavor is lighter, less cheese is needed, and the vegan parm actually work seamlessly with a risotto concept. I've worked with countless non dairy cheese varieties, and in terms of accessibility, affordability, and versatility, it's my absolute favorite and mirrors real parmesan cheese in every capacity. (Don't believe me? I use it in.. everything. lol)
What I love about this recipe is that even if you are terrible at cooking rice (myself), it's a no fail concept as long as you add the broth in increments, seasonal, affordable, has minimal ingredients, and serves as the perfect side dish to your holiday meal! The only complaint I have is that it can look decadent when first served, but it can take on a more dried out appearance due to the lack of dairy based cheese as it sits.
At any rate it's a great alternative to the classic risotto with half the calories! If you're looking to give vegan risotto a try, you have to give this Pumpkin Risotto a go!
Why this recipe rocks:
Minimal ingredients
Perf for holidays
Non vegan approved
Eat Drink Shrink
Yields 4 servings
20 minPrep Time
20 minCook Time
40 minTotal Time
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 cup Arborio rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup Follow Your Heart Vegan Parmesan
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tbsp chopped sage
- 1 tsp fresh time
- salt, to taste
- In a 4-quart heavy saucepan heat olive oil or butter over medium heat until melted. Add onion, garlic, nutmeg; cook about 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Carefully add wine; cook and stir until liquid is absorbed. Stir in snipped sage and thyme.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring the water and the broth to boiling; reduce heat and simmer. Slowly add 1 cup of the broth mixture to rice mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add another 1 cup of the broth mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add enough of the remaining broth mixture, about 1 cup at a time, cooking and stirring just until rice is tender but firm and risotto is creamy.
- Stir in pumpkin and the 1/2 cup vegan parm. Cook about 1 minute or until heated through, stirring occasionally. If desired, top each serving with additional parmesan cheese and sage leaves.

War Games and a Fragile Ecosystem
A two week long military exercise, which began October 6th, off of the shores of Scotland have many conservation and environmental groups such as the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society worried about the impact that the display will have on the are
a's environment and marine life. The military exercise is a joint war game between military forces of the UK and eight allied nations of NATO including the US and France and will feature the display and weaponry of 29 naval battle ships along with 4 submarines and 60 aircraft which are scheduled to fly over 100 missions each day.
The exercise, which is occurring off of the West Coast of Scotland, is designed to practice a scenario of NATO forces launching an attack against a terrorist action sponsored by an enemy state. The main concern of environmental and conservation groups is that the bustle of military activity is taking place in an area that is extremely rich with marine life and a critical area for vulnerable species including 24 varieties of whales and dolphins, such as harbor porpoises and mink whales, as well as other highly threatened marine life including the rare basking shark.
With so much activity taking place in the area, some worry that not only will it disrupt the normal patterns and day to day life of these marine animals, but the loud noises caused by the display could cause considerable harm to the marine life, cetaceans in particular. The weaponry display will include bombing, missile practice, and other showcases of modern weaponry all of which are live amo demonstrations. Whales, dolphins, and porpoises (cetaceans) are extremely vulnerable to sound. The sensitive hearing that they posses help them to navigate, find food, communicate with others, and bond with their offspring and other pod members. Noise pollution such at that caused by the "Joint Warriors" display, can cause considerable damage to whales and dolphins to the extent that some become disoriented, loose the ability to communicate, or become deaf. Noise pollution has even been known to cause severe hemorrhaging, standings, and other related deaths. This use of live rounds also presents a substantial risk for disturbing, injuring, or even killing some of the local marine life.
The exact impact that this enormous amount of noise is causing may be unknown but the risk to the local marine life is very high and has many worried about the devastation that will be left in its wake after the exercise ends on October 16th.

CHIANG RAI, Thailand AP — The latest on Thai early life soccer players and their coach who were rescued after being trapped in a cave all times native:

The boys put on a short demonstration of their ball-dealing with expertise in a different miniature soccer container deploy within the hall where they're assembly the media on Wednesday.

As spring welcomes back the blossoms and warm breeze, Karlie Schwartzwald has brought the Chess Club back to Lane.
The Associated Students of Lane Community College Senate ratified the Chess Club on April 2. Schwartzwald is a second-year mathematics student. Hoping to introduce chess to more students around campus, Schwartzwald harnessed the passion for chess club in Winter 2014.
"I love chess," Schwartzwald said, "and I want to have a chance to play with students on campus."
The club currently has no chess sets. Schwartzwald has been cutting out paper to substitute with real chess sets. The Chess Club is waiting to receive $100 from the Student Government, the amount ratified clubs get each term.
Despite a lack of chessboards, 20 students have already signed up in the Chess Club, and approximately 10 students attended the first two meetings.
"We welcome everyone who is interested in chess to come to our meeting," Schwartzwald said. She encourages people who want to learn how to play to also attend.
The old Chess Club disbanded years ago when its members left Lane or lost interest.
Mathematics instructor and Chess Club adviser Phil Moore said he is pleased to see Schwartzwald bring chess back to Lane.
"Looking for an adviser for the club was one of the biggest struggles in the process of getting ratified," Schwartzwald said. Moore, a chess enthusiast, recently finally took the responsibility.
Playing chess is what led Moore to math, and now, through Chess Club, he can interact with students in a less formal way and catch up with former students.
As he talked about his passion for chess, Moore pulled out a hand-carved Japanese chess set that he got from his uncle.
"It was like a kickoff to get students excited about at our first meeting," Moore said.
"I expect (Chess Club) to bring a lot of enthusiasm for playing chess on campus," Council of Clubs chairwoman Brandi Hoskins said.
Besides encouraging critical thinking and bonding between chess lovers on campus, Schwartzwald also hopes to connect with other chess clubs in different colleges and universities in Oregon and start a tournament.
Chess Club meets every Wednesday in the cafeteria from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Performance Research, Part 6: Less is More — Serving Files Faster by Combining Them
In Performance Research Part 1, we discussed how reducing the number of HTTP requests has the biggest impact on improving the response time and is often the easiest performance improvement to make. One technique without having to simplify the page design is to combine multiple scripts into a single script, and similarly combine multiple stylesheets into a single stylesheet.
Combining multiple files reduces the extra bytes from HTTP headers as well as potential transfer latency caused by TCP slow starts, packet losses, etc.
Figure 1 shows a graphical view of how time is spent loading a page with six separate scripts. Notice that for every file, the browser makes a separate HTTP request to retrieve the file. The gaps between the scripts indicate the time the browser takes to parse and render each script. Figure 2 shows the how time is spent loading a page with the same six scripts combined into a single script.
Figure 1. Loading a page with six separate scripts
Figure 2. Loading a page with one combined script
Combining JavaScript and CSS files as part of the development process can be burdensome. It usually makes sense during development to organize the code into logical modules as separate files. Typically, combining those separate files before product release is either a manual process or part of a build process. Every time one of the individual files is changed, the larger file needs to be re-combined and re-pushed. The cost of this across an organization as large as Yahoo! is significant.
Serve Files Faster using Combo Handler
Combo Handler, built in collaboration by Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance team and the groups that support our CDN, is one solution to combine multiple files into a single, larger file.
Combo Handler provides a way to allow developers to maintain the logical organization of their code in separate files, while achieving the advantages of combining those into a single file as part of the final user experience. It alleviates the need for the time-consuming re-build and re-push processes. In addition, Combo Handler integrates seamlessly into a content delivery network, taking full advantage of the benefits of a CDN while reducing the drawbacks of dynamically combining separate files.
We've been using this service across many Yahoo! properties for some time now to help improve end users' response times. Thanks to the YUI team, it is now available to all of you that are using the Yahoo!-hosted YUI JavaScript files. (Note: Combo-handling of CSS files is not supported at this time.) Head over to the YUI Configurator to generate combo-ready filepaths customized for your specific YUI implementation.
Combo Handler Best Practices
When using Combo Handler to combine files, pay special attention to the order in which the files are specified. Not only could there be file dependencies, browsers will only use the cached version of a file if the filename extracted from the URL is identical. For example, suppose the following smaller files (
dom.js and
event.js) are combined into a single larger file using Combo Handler:
http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?event.js&dom.js http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?dom.js&event.js
In the example above, the browser will download and cache both files separately because the filenames are actually different.
Also, you may not always want to combine all files into one single file. Suppose you have one or more scripts that are shared across multiple pages in your site in addition to scripts that are only used on specific pages. By combining everything into one large file and using this file across your entire site, some pages will spend time downloading more than it really needs. Instead, take a look at different types of combinations. You might combine the scripts that are used in every page across your site into one script. Then for each page or group of pages, combine common scripts into another separate script.
Yahoo! HotJobs Combines and Reduces Response Time by 8%!
The Exceptional Performance team ran an experiment with Yahoo! HotJobs to determine the response time savings our users would benefit from by combining multiple files into a single file. Two real user test buckets were created for this experiment. In one bucket, users visited a page with six JavaScript files left uncombined. In the second bucket, users visited the same page with the six JavaScript files combined into one single file.
Keep in mind that the page we tested was already highly optimized for performance and had a YSlow "A" grade. The response time savings depend on a number of factors including number of files combined, browser caching patterns, etc. This experiment supported our previous research, which indicated that reducing HTTP requests is an effective way to improve response times for our end users.
Improve response times by combining multiple JavaScript and CSS files. Yahoo!'s Combo Handler Service is one solution that provides a way to make fewer HTTP requests for Yahoo!-hosted JavaScript files, and also leverages the benefits of a Content Delivery Network.
- Combine scripts and stylesheets to reduce HTTP requests.
- Look at different types of file combinations.
- Avoid users from having to download more than they really need.
- Pay special attention to the order in which files are combined.

All Common Core: 12th Grade English Language Arts Resources
Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Determining Word Pronunciation, Meaning, Or Standard Usage: Ccss.Ela Literacy.L.11 12.4.C
Adapted from Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke (1790)
In the famous statute called the Declaration of Right, the two houses utter not a syllable of "a right to frame a government for themselves." You will see that their whole care was to secure the religion, laws, and liberties that had been long possessed and had been lately endangered. They state "in the first place" to do "as their ancestors in like cases have usually done for vindicating their ancient rights and liberties, to declare;"—and then they pray the king and queen, "that it may be declared and enacted, that all and singular the rights and liberties asserted and declared are the true ancient and indubitable rights and liberties of the people of this kingdom."
You will observe that from the Magna Carta to the Declaration of Right, it has been the uniform policy of our constitution to claim and assert our liberties as an entailed inheritance derived to us from our forefathers and to be transmitted to our posterity; as an estate specially belonging to the people of this kingdom, without any reference whatever to any other more general or prior right. By this means, our constitution preserves a unity in so great a diversity of its parts. We have an inheritable crown; an inheritable peerage; and a House of Commons and a people inheriting privileges, franchises, and liberties from a long line of ancestors.
This policy appears to me to be the result of profound reflection, or rather the happy effect of following nature, which is wisdom without reflection and above it. A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors. Besides, the people of England well know, that the idea of inheritance furnishes a sure principle of conservation, and a sure principle of transmission; without at all excluding a principle of improvement. It leaves acquisition free; but it secures what it acquires. Whatever advantages are obtained by a state proceeding on these maxims are locked fast as in a sort of family settlement, grasped as in a kind of mortmain forever. By a constitutional policy working after the pattern of nature, we receive, we hold, we transmit our government and our privileges in the same manner in which we enjoy and transmit our property and our lives. The institutions of policy, the goods of fortune, the gifts of providence, are handed down to us and from us in the same course and order. Our political system is placed in a just correspondence and symmetry with the mode of existence decreed to a permanent body composed of transitory parts; wherein the whole, at one time, is never old, or middle-aged, or young, but, in a condition of unchangeable constancy, moves on through the varied tenor of perpetual decay, fall, renovation, and progression. Thus, by preserving the method of nature in the conduct of the state, in what we improve, we are never wholly new; in what we retain, we are never wholly obsolete. By adhering in this manner and on those principles to our forefathers, we are guided not by the superstition of antiquarians, but by the spirit of philosophic analogy. In this choice of inheritance, we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood; binding up the constitution of our country with our dearest domestic ties; adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections; keeping inseparable, and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities, our state, our hearths, our sepulchers, and our altars.
Through the same plan of a conformity to nature in our artificial institutions and by calling in the aid of her unerring and powerful instincts to fortify the fallible and feeble contrivances of our reason, we have derived several other, and those no small benefits, from considering our liberties in the light of an inheritance. Always acting as if in the presence of canonized forefathers, the spirit of freedom, leading in itself to misrule and excess, is tempered with an awful gravity. This idea of a liberal descent inspires us with a sense of habitual, native dignity. By this means our liberty becomes a noble freedom. It carries an imposing and majestic aspect. It has a pedigree and illustrating ancestors. It has its bearings and its ensigns armorial. It has its gallery of portraits; its monumental inscriptions; its records, evidences, and titles. All your sophisters cannot produce anything better adapted to preserve a rational freedom than the course that we have pursued, who have chosen our nature rather than our speculations, our breasts rather than our inventions, for the great conservatories and magazines of our rights and privileges.
The underlined and bolded word "conformity" is closest in meaning to _____________.
passive obedience
This question asks you to determine the meaning of a given word. This is a question in which the required context is strictly grammatical. We can see that "to" follows "conformity," this allows us to restrict our determination of meaning to abstract nouns that fit this formation.
"Conformity" is a word within the baseline vocabulary expect of a graduating high school student, so you should straightforwardly know that "adherence" is the best choice here because it connotes an active, intentional "conformity" to nature. The adherence implied is not "passive" or the result of a "resigned" relationship to nature; this would also have negative connotations toward "nature" in context, which is not the author's intention. "Resistance" is a direct antonym to "conformity."
Knowing the overall context here could have allowed you to make a relatively educated guess, given the author's overall treatment of the "unerring and powerful instincts" discussed throughout the passage, but the best path to solving this was a familiarity with the desired vocabulary.

Monrovia Water Conservation Video
Infographic flyers are often the go-to medium in these kinds of situations but a video can be so much more memorable and impactful than just images and text to inspire action in the local community. It's been proven that audiences retain visual information much better and more accurately than information they either read or hear.
The City of Monrovia came to Ready Artwork to work on an informational water conservation video to alert the public that the drought was actually not over. We've worked with the city on a number of different projects, so we were very excited to support the city alongside this campaign.
It was crucial that this video conveyed a sense of urgency but also credibility to inspire action. A big challenge was overcoming people's misconceptions about the drought.
Our team worked and communicated closely with the City of Monrovia to fine tune a script for a short video that would be easily shareable but still educate the public. From there, we created a mood board, inspired by many other public service announcement to see how we could go above and beyond existing content. After initial research, our team decided that motion graphics was the perfect way to educate the residents of Monrovia about this issue. Many other similar videos were often done with actors, our team felt that an animated video would make the video stand out and also much more memorable. After these items were completed, our video team created a storyboard envision what scenes were needed for the video.
The final product was so engaging and memorable that it inspired other local cities to contact our team about creating their own water conservation video! Continue reading to discover our video process and how our team created a video that was effective and impactful.
Our motion graphics team took this research to start creating graphics that would fit with the script. An essential part to this video was the voice that would accompany the graphics. Our team choose a firm but optimistic voice that complemented the message and set the tone for the entire video.
The client was very ecstatic about the final product and the video was also featured on the Monrovia City Manager's Update email and all over the city's social media channels, receiving very positive feedback from the community and garnering over hundreds of videos on their website.
Video marketing is so crucial for any campaign or business. Visual content is 40 times more likely to be shared on social networks and content with visuals get 94% more total views.
Are you utilizing video to its fullest potential for all your business' needs? Contact Ready Artwork to see how videos can boost your company's digital marketing strategy.

I need to set a field value to a variable when the form loads. I added Set(myVar,SharePointIntegration.Selected.Title) to OnEdit, but this method doesn't work consistently. Half of the time, the variable would show the value of the previously opened item.
The screenshot shows myVar is equal to "Orange" from another item. It'll change to "Apple" if I manually execute the Set function again by clicking the button. This behaviour seems to happen only when the form takes a little longer to load than usual.
Hi @Bee,
Thanks for the feedback.
Please try to add:
Under OnCancel and OnSave property of the SharePointintegration part.
See if this would make any difference.
I've tried your sugestion but it didn't make any difference.
This bug occurs much more frequently in edit mode. It only happened around 1 out of 20 times in view mode.
The action is slow enough to witness. When the form loads up, the Title and myVar values are from the previous item. In a split second, both fields get updated to the current item values. I can see that myVar doesn't change when the Title field changes. Seems like the Set function is not executing properly sometimes.
I am having the same problem, or a very similar one. The first time I Edit an item, the field is coming up blank. The second time and following, it seems to be OK. When I tried the suggestion above, the first time it comes up blank, the second time, it comes up with the value from the row that was selected first, and the third time and following it seems to be OK.
FYI, here is the code from SharepointIntegration.OnEdit:
Set(varRequestStatus,SharePointIntegration.Selected.Status); EditForm(frmNew)
Try this
Set(varRequestStatus,LookUp( 'NAME OF YOUR LIST', ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID , Status))
It's a Bug.
Try this (OnEdit and Onview)
Set(myVar, LookUp( 'NAME OF YOUR LIST', ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID , Title))
This worked for me. How should we report such nasty bugs ?

Understanding Exchange 2003 mailbox migration methods
There are two methods for moving mailboxes to Exchange Server 2003 mailbox: Move Mailboxes and ExMerge. This tip discusses the pros and cons of each method.
- Move Mailboxes
- ExMerge
Migrating using the Move Mailbox approach
Moving user mailboxes between servers is the safest migration method because the servers' databases are not in jeopardy if the migration fails. Moving the users also provides the opportunity to use new hardware with little or no downtime. In addition, moving users allows the organization to migrate users in sizeable chunks over time. Outlook profiles automatically are updated on the desktop, and users are redirected to the new Exchange Server 2003 systems when they log on. The limitation of moving users to a new server is that they can be moved only to an Exchange Server 2003 system in the same Administrative Group. Moving users can also slow the speed of the migration, which can be seen as a positive or negative, depending on the organization's goals.
The Exchange Server 2003 database is much more efficient than Exchange 5.5 was at storing messages. Even with full copies of all messages created by moving the users, administrators might actually see the database size shrink when comparing the size of the Exchange 5.5 and Exchange Server 2003 databases before and after migration. Quite a bit of empty space in the Exchange 5.5 database might also account for a portion of the reduced database size.
To move user mailboxes, open the Active Directory Users and Computers administrative tool and right-click the user to move; then select Exchange Tasks, as illustrated in Figure 15.8.
- Click Next at the welcome screen.
- Choose the option for Move Mailbox and click Next.
- Select the destination server and mailbox store, and click Next.
- At the next screen, choose either to create a failure report if corruption is detected or to skip corrupted items and continue the mailbox move. Click Next to continue.
- At the next prompt, you can specify what time the Move Mailbox command should start and finish by. This is very useful when scheduling mailbox moves for off-hour periods. Click Next to continue.

Figure 15.9 Moving mailboxes to Exchange Server 2003. (Click on image for enlarged view.)
Connections are then made to the source and destination server, and the mailbox contents are moved four at a time, as illustrated in Figure 15.9. If the move is unsuccessful, the user's mailbox still is available on the source Exchange 5.5 server.
Leapfrogging server migrations to reduce costs
If server hardware or budget is a limiting factor in the project, the organization might want to consider using a leapfrog method (also called the swing upgrade method) to migrate the users to Exchange Server 2003. Using the leapfrog method, fewer servers need to be purchased to perform the migration through the move users method.
One server still needs to be installed into the Exchange 5.5 site to house the SRS. Users can then be moved to that server or a second Exchange Server 2003 system installed into the site. After all users, connectors, and public folders are moved off the Exchange 5.5 server, that server can be formatted and reinstalled as an Exchange Server 2003 system, allowing the next Exchange 5.5 server's users to be migrated to Exchange Server 2003.
This greatly reduces the speed of the migration process and also requires a Native Mode Windows Server 2003 domain to support the public folders if they are scattered across the Exchange 5.5 servers. Another option for public folders in this scenario is to consolidate the public folders by replicating all the folders to a single Exchange 5.5 server in the site if a Native Mode Windows Server 2003 domain is not available. Connectors could also pose a problem with this method and require a solution before starting the leapfrog process.
One problem with this leapfrog method to be aware of is to not remove the first Exchange 5.5 server in a site until it's the last remaining system in that site. The first Exchange server in the site hosts folders and other functions that are required by the Exchange 5.5 organization.
Using ExMerge to migrate mailboxes
Exmerge.exe is a Microsoft utility that can extract the contents of a user's mailbox to a personal store (PST) file. The PST file created by ExMerge can be added to a user's Outlook profile so the user can access the contents of his old mailbox. ExMerge can also import the PST file to a destination mailbox to another server, site, or organization. On the destination server, ExMerge can merge the imported PST file or overwrite data in the target mailbox.
ExMerge can be used in disaster recovery and in migration scenarios to move user data from point A to point B by selecting the source and destination Exchange servers. ExMerge can be used when an organization wants to start with a clean Exchange Server 2003 environment and wants to be able to move mailbox contents to the new Exchange Server 2003 mailbox or archive the contents of the Exchange 5.5 mailbox in case a user needs access to his old information. ExMerge can also be used to move mailbox contents in organization-naming hierarchies that are the same or different. This is beneficial to organizations that want to build a new naming context when converting to Active Directory and Exchange Server 2003.
A few issues should be considered when using ExMerge to move mailbox contents to a new organization. The biggest one is that the capability to reply to all recipients on old messages could be lost. At a minimum, end-users need to force the names on old messages to be resolved against the new directory by using Alt+K or the Check Name button on the toolbar. End-users might be confused and frustrated if the new system cannot locate all of the users. This can occur if all users have not been migrated from the old organization or if mail connectivity to foreign mail systems has not been re-established in the new Exchange organization. To avoid these problems, every migrated mailbox must have the X.500 address of the old organization added to it, either manually or via a third-party tool.
The second-biggest issue is that appointments on the user's calendar that contain other attendees are severed. The original appointments were resolved to the attendee's old addresses when they were created. This means that if the user deletes the appointment or makes a change to the time or location of the meeting, the other attendees will not be notified.
Even with these issues, ExMerge can be just the thing organizations are looking for, especially when they have survived multiple mergers and acquisitions and are looking to start over with Exchange Server 2003. If the organization plans to use ExMerge for the entire migration process, spend extensive time prototyping the merge process to catch other issues the organization might encounter.
ExMerge merges the following information:
- User folders
- User messages
- Outlook calendars
- Contacts
- Journal
- Notes
- Tasks
- Folder rules that were created in Exchange 5.0 or later
ExMerge does not support the following:
- Forms
- Views
- Schedule+ data
- Folder rules that were created in Exchange 4.0
ExMerge also supports advanced options such as extracting folder permissions. It can filter the messages for extraction from the source store by attachment name or subject that are accessible under the Options button on the source server selection screen.
ExMerge can be configured in either a one- or a two-step merge process. One-step merge processes copy the data from the source mailbox to a PST and then merge the data into the same mailbox on the destination server. The distinguished name of the mailbox and container path of the source and destination servers must be identical to perform a one-step merge.
When using ExMerge to move mailbox data from different organizations and sites, administrators need to be aware that ExMerge cannot create a mailbox on a destination server or set alternative recipient and forwarding rules on the source server. Another item that administrators should be aware of is that ExMerge runs only on Windows Server 2003. ExMerge needs to be able to access several Exchange Server 2003 DLL files. To run ExMerge, copy the Exmerge.exe and Exmerge.ini files to the Exchange \bin directory, or update the system path to include the Exchange \bin directory if ExMerge will run from another file location.
To run ExMerge using Exchange 5.5 as the source and Exchange Server 2003 as the destination, the credentials used for ExMerge must have Service Account Administrator privileges in Exchange 5.5 at the Organization, Site, and Configuration container levels. The credentials must also have at least Receive As permission on the destination Exchange 2003 mailbox.

Red, White, and Blue: Norwegian Constitution, American Inspiration
On view in the lobbies of the Annenberg Center and Kirby Auditorium, 1814-2014 Red, White, and Blue celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution. Its creation was influenced by the democratic forces of its time, but most especially by the U.S. Constitution drafted in 1787. Today, they are the two oldest, written national constitutions in the world. Inspired by this history, a group of Norwegian artists have created the contemporary artwork displayed in this exhibition, exploring constitutional themes shared by Norway and the United States.

Isle of the Snake by baylessiii

Artwork Description
The more expressionistic I let myself stray the more fun I seem to have. Something about art taking itself too seriously that spoils the illusion, at least for me. And once again, more opera on the radio, a big baratone voice that inspired me to conjure up an ancient wizard and this misty island drama. I keep telling myself that it's time to go back to using oils but it's getting harder to believe that I should.
April 5th, 2006
Very dynamic. I love the way it makes my eye travel from the powerful crouching man to the wizard, along the row of cobras, and back to the girl. Great work and planning.
March 30th, 2006
Great art, Walt. Where would be the difference if you had done this with oils?
March 29th, 2006
Fantastic work, Walt, classical fantasy, stirring stuff!
March 27th, 2006
Too cool, seems you master acrylics now as well as your oils, and ummm, they don't smell and dry faster and at the end both are just pigments. Think it´s just what you personally perfer more to work with, the results are really fantasic with both mediums. I just hope to see an original of your work some day.
March 27th, 2006
Walt, your stuff has great action and stylistic touches...am looking forward to a larger, more 'finished' piece!

8-Sentence Sunday
Here we are again with Sophie and Ben in The Summer of Second Chances with, I confess, a little creative punctuation. Sophie's suggestion that they try just having a summer fling has shocked poor old Ben down to his sandals. He's figuring he's going to have to be the cautious one here because clearly, Sophie had thrown all caution to the wind… He tries to lighten the sexually charged atmosphere with a weak joke about "friends with benefits," but Sophie's not having it…she's all in…
"I'd love to give it a try," smiling, Sophie rose from the stool and slipped around the end of the bar.
"No, don't." Holding up both hands, he backed away, "Don't–we need to think about what we're doing here first."
"Why?" She moved closer to him, "How 'bout we try not thinking at all?" A few more steps and they were mere inches apart, "But I guess if you're not sure…" One hand on his chin, she ran her thumb over his lips, "maybe you should sleep on it tonight."
Okay, confession: Sophie's way out of her comfort zone, but in for a nickle as my grandpa used to say. Besides, she's forty-five and it's time to live a little!
I hope you continue to be intrigued by Sophie and Ben. Stay tuned for more from The Summer of Second Chances. Comments are welcome and encouraged. Please don't miss the other Weekend Writing Warriors. Head on over and check out the work of dozens of other writers. You'll be so glad you did.

The requirements that must be met by the employee include the following:
- Have a valid job offer from a U.S. employer to work a temporary or seasonal non-agricultural job.
- Show evidence of an intent to return to your home country upon completion of the work and the expiration of the visa.
What are the benefits of applying under this visa category?
Some of the benefits of this visa include:
- Allowing dependents to live in the U.S. with the visa holder
- Visa holders are free to travel in and out of the U.S. as needed
- The visa is valid for the length of employment but not to exceed a year
- The visa may be renewed in one-year increments for an additional two years
How can an attorney help in this process?
The H-2B petition is a highly complex, multi-phase process. In the recruitment and labor certification phase, the rules relating to setting job requirements, advertising specifications, and application completion are voluminous and very exacting. The DOL is unforgiving of mistakes. Employers are very restricted in what they can require of potential applicants. An immigration attorney with substantial experience in H-2B petitions can help avoid the many costly pitfalls and help you sail through the H-2B process.
To discuss if this is the right visa for you and if you can qualify under this category, please feel free to contact us by email or call us at 314-722-5247.

In a bid to capitalize on the surge of brands using the channel to generate product awareness, as well as bolt-ons such as Shopify which allow brands to sell directly on Instagram without customers having to leave the app, Instagram has this week launched a UK shopping channel.
The initiative, launched with test partners Marks & Spencer, Heidi Klein and Mahabis, allows brands to tag products in organic posts so they can be purchased directly from their respective e-commerce sites – directly from Instagram.
As The Drum confirm, "The arrival of Shopping on British shores follows a successful introduction of the service in America last year, sparking success for some including online retailer @Lulus which attributes 1,200 orders and 100,000 website visits to the service thus far".

The Bright-Landry Hockey Center
Home of Harvard Men's and Women's Hockey
Facility Information:
- Men's and women's hockey coaches' offices
- Men's and women's varsity locker rooms
- Two additional locker rooms
- Blue Line Room
- 204 ft. X 87 ft. skating rink
While hockey at Harvard began in 1898 at Franklin Park in Boston, the Crimson has called the Alexander H. Bright Hockey Center home since 1979 and saw its facility renamed to The Bright-Landry Hockey Center in the fall of 2013.
As technology has improved over the last few decades, so has The Bright-Landry Hockey Center. In 2008, it became the first arena in ECAC Hockey to feature a video scoreboard. The four-screened Daktronics display hangs over center ice to provide fans with video and instant replays.
The Bright Hockey Center was dedicated on November 19, 1979, when the Crimson hosted the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team in Cambridge. More than 3,000 spectators turned out for the opening of Harvard's third new athletic facility in three years.
From 1956 to 1978, Harvard played its hockey games at the Donald C. Watson Rink, a facility loved by hockey players for its good, hard ice but cursed by many spectators for its cold temperatures. Harvard made plans for expansion of facilities in the early 1970s with a brand new ice rink to be constructed at Soldiers Field. Costs soared, however, and the project had to be revised. The new rink, estimated to cost somewhere around $5 million, would not be built after all. Watson would instead be renovated.
While Harvard's men's and women's teams played out of local rinks in 1978-79, the "renovation" of Watson Rink took place. The concrete walls of Watson's sides were knocked down and the new borders extended 10 feet in each direction. The wooden ceiling of Watson remained, but a new roof topped it.
Named after former Harvard hockey player Alec Bright '19, the Bright Hockey Center seats nearly 2,800 people, up more than 800 from Watson's old capacity. There is additional space for some 500 standees. Long-time Harvard coach Bill Cleary chose to lengthen the playing surface by five feet to emphasize the skating game he favored. The skating surface is now 204 feet by 87 feet.

Samantha Whipple, recently enrolled at Oxford University finds herself surrounded and followed by her past. Still struggling to overcome the death of her father she is also on the hunt for her inheritance, hinted at by her eccentric father. It would appear to be connected to her ancestors, as so much of her life is. It just so happens that those ancestors are the Brontës…
Being a huge fan of Jane Eyre, and having just visited the Bronte parsonage I thought it was high time I read this book.
This is a fun take on the Brontës, using them as a narrative device to propel the mystery of Samantha Whipple's inheritance and her hunt for it. Samantha has travelled over from the United States to study at Oxford and finds herself shut away in a tower room with no windows and an austere portrait looking over her. To top it off, her room is a stop on the tourist trail. Then there is her tutor, James Orville III. He's taciturn, provocative and Samantha finds herself begin to become attracted to him.
The mystery of the missing inheritance is less about finding an item and more about Samantha finding herself and learning more about her father. She finds her attitudes towards Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë changing as Orville challenges her entrenched views on the sisters.
At times the novel feels like a dissertation, with it's definite views on various works of literature peppering the narration. However I liked the literary discussions and thought the setting of Oxford worked well. I was a little disappointed with how Samantha reacted to her visit to the parsonage in Haworth, though this may be because I had just visited and had the complete opposite reaction.
This is more a story that examines literature and it's subjective nature, rather than a love story or a mystery. It made me want to read more of the Bronte s works which can only be a good thing.
Whilst the slightly ambiguous ending left me a little flat, this novel was an enjoyable read and a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

The need to remove unsafe vehicles from our roads—primarily through auto recalls—is one way to ensure the safety of our highways. Traffic crashes are the number one killer of Americans under age 34. A key method for improving highway safety is through auto recalls and the recall of defective vehicle equipment.
Since 1966, more than 299 million cars, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds, as well as 43 million tires and 84 million pieces of motor vehicle equipment, including child seats, have been recalled to correct safety defects.
See the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) automobile recall portal for updates on vehicle and vehicle-related recalls.
When is an Auto Recall Necessary?
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards set minimum performance requirements for those parts of the vehicle that most affect its safe operation (brakes, tires, lighting) or that protect drivers and passengers from death or serious injury in the event of a crash (air bags, safety belts, child restraints, energy absorbing steering columns, motorcycle helmets) and are applicable to all vehicles and equipment manufactured or imported for sale in the United States (including the territories) certified for use on public roads and highways. A recall becomes necessary:
Safety-Related Defects
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (1966) gives the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the authority to issue vehicle safety standards and to require manufacturers to recall vehicles with safety-related defects or that do not meet safety standards. Generally, a safety-related defect is a problem that exists in a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that:
Examples of safety defects include:
How Will I Be Notified if an Auto Recall Is Ordered or Initiated?
Many auto recalls are initiated voluntarily by the vehicle/equipment manufacturers, while others are either influenced by NHTSA investigations or complaints by vehicle owners.
Within a reasonable time after the determination of a safety defect or noncompliance, manufacturers must notify, by first-class mail, all registered owners and purchasers of the affected vehicles of the existence of the problem and give an evaluation of its risk to motor vehicle safety. The manufacturer must explain to consumers the potential safety hazards presented by the problem.
How Can a Recalled Vehicle be Remedied?
Once a defect determination is made, the law gives the manufacturer three options for correcting the defect: repair, replacement, or refund. The manufacturer may choose to repair the vehicle; replace the vehicle with an identical or similar vehicle; or refund the purchase price in full, minus a reasonable allowance for depreciation. In the case of equipment, including tires and child safety seats, the manufacturer can either repair or replace. If you're considering pursuing a car defect claim it's in your best interests to contact a product liability attorney.
Get a Legal Case Assessment
If you think you have a legal claim to pursue you should discuss your case with an experienced attorney. Do so without delay as there are time limits on when you may file a personal injury lawsuit. Want some help before committing to hiring a lawyer? You can even have a law firm evaluate the merits of your case before agreeing to representation.
Contact a qualified product liability attorney to make sure your rights are protected.

The UK market remains a "critical one" for Seabourn, the line's chief confirmed at the naming of its fifth ship, Seabourn Ovation, which was christended by British performer Elaine Paige.
UK customers are second only to the US for Seabourn, but while the brand is "very well established" here, Seabourn president Richard Meadows added it was still a core focus to get more trade professionals on the ships to see them for themselves.
"We do need to get more luxury agents on board who haven't experienced Seabourn before," he said. "We know they have the clients, it's about helping them bridge the gap and really tell the story of Seabourn."
Musical supremo Sir Tim Rice, ship's designer Adam Tihany and Carnival Corporation chief executive Arnold Donald were also among those on-board for the ceremony, held in Valletta, Malta on Friday, where Paige sang her hit song from Chess, I Know Him So Well, before officially naming the ship.
"Elaine Paige is a great personality fit for the brand," said Meadows. "She is so extraordinary in her accomplishments and so for that and many other reasons, we thought she would be a great match."
Speaking exclusively to TTG on-board the ship, Paige said she could see why people become "addicted to cruise".
"I've always loved cruising, ever since I took my parents on our first cruise many years ago on Sea Goddess, which coincidentally, was part of the Seabourn fleet at one stage," she said. "You can see why people do get addicted to cruise – it's the most fantastic way to travel and see so much of the world."
The line celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and alluding to its three decades during the naming ceremony of the 600-passenger ship, Meadows said: "Back then, we really changed the course of ultra-luxury cruising. The launch of Seabourn Ovation brings us to a new era, where we reinforce our position as the newest, most consistent fleet in the ultra-luxury cruise category."
Seabourn is not considering any further ships "at this time", but would continue to harmonise the on-board offering across the fleet, Meadows told TTG.
Ovation is the debut ship for a new dining on-deck concept called Earth & Ocean, which will go fleetwide by spring 2019; gelato bars are also rolling out across all ships.
"We've had tremendous fleet growth in a relatively short time, so consistency is now what's so important," said Meadows. "It's not always about pointing out what's different, but in making all of our ships seem comparable for the guest."
More Ventures by Seabourn – the line's range of more adventurous shore activities – will also be announced soon as guests continue to look at cruise through "an active lens", Meadows added.
In the coming months agents will be able to visit Seabourn Quest when the ship is in Greenock on May 23, Belfast on July 10 and Dover on July 16.
Agents will also be able to visit Seabourn Ovation during some of its UK port calls this year, including Dover on September 15, Liverpool on September 19, Dublin on September 20, and Newcastle on September 29.

A world-renown luxury retail leader had a longstanding dilemma: Every new store was treated like a new project, resulting in different levels of consistency and quality from store to store. With no clear requirements or standards, each new set of contractors was left to their own devices to build the retail store to their own specifications. The result? Inefficient pricing, inconsistent design, inferior quality, frustrated personnel, and wasted time.
An entrepreneurial, "get it done" culture had always served our client's IT department well. When faced with a major new platform launch and data center project, however, it became apparent that streamlined processes and precise documentation were necessities for this electronic stock exchange. Not only are they one of the largest equities exchanges in the U.S. with hundreds of customer connections, they support their platform with a highly complex and redundant environment.
An enterprise client needed a workplace technology strategy that fit its business. They wanted to foster collaboration and innovation while also considering the demographics of their workforce, engaging baby boomers and millennials alike. With hundreds of stores across the United States, a range of business units, and other internal and external factors, they needed a flexible and robust strategy — while also needing to find their first step forward.
This client's existing data centers were approaching their maximum capacity – both in terms of actual space and the platforms that could be supported. The client developed a roadmap calling for a new data center, but hadn't yet determined the systems they would populate it with. But the project couldn't wait; so with a limited timeframe, the Labrador team was charged with designing a highly adaptable data center infrastructure, flexible enough to handle the range of emerging platforms that the client was considering.
