Xbox 360 Buyer's Guide
Congratulations, savvy consumer, on your very wise, very savvy purchase!
As a game journalist, I have to "work" with the PlayStation 3 and with the Nintendo Wii. But whenever I have a spare moment, it's the Xbox 360 that typically gets my attention. Why so?
I like Xbox Live. I don't do a whole lot of online gaming, but I do like seeing who's online, who's offline, who's playing what, what Achievements people have unlocked, what's available for download via Xbox Live Arcade, who's watching a movie (Gus is, usually), etc. The genius of Xbox Live is that it allows me to feel connected -- to someone, to something -- even when I'm just sitting alone in my living room in my underpants and playing games solo.
I also appreciate the range of games that are available for the 360. Despite the PS3's purported power, it's the 360's version of a multiplatform title that typically looks and plays the best, to my mind.
- Tons of games from which to choose
- Pretty to look at
- Despite competition from Sony and Nintendo, Xbox Live is still the best online service in the business.
- Known to "red-ring" on occasion
- Noisy; runs hot; brick-like power plug
- Xbox Live Gold Membership costs $50 per year.
The Xbox 360 has been in stores since 2005. It's produced by Microsoft (all together now: Boo!). But to its credit, Microsoft seemed to learn a lot from the mistakes it made with the original Xbox, which was its first foray into console gaming.
Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition
The Xbox 360 is much more sleek and sophisticated-looking than the obnoxiously massive original, and blends nicely with the other electronics equipment in your living room. It's available in two colors -- white or matte black -- but there have been limited-edition Xbox 360s, including a Halo 3 Special Edition. In general, unless you have the Halo 3 edition, your friends won't say, "Oh, I see you have a videogame machine. Look at you, you pathetic man-boy, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" whenever they come over. By the way, if your friends actually say things like this, you shouldn't be friends with them anyway. Jerks.
Infamous for?
The Red Ring of Death
The so-called "Red Ring of Death." The earliest generations of the Xbox 360 unfortunately suffered from a ridiculously high failure rate. When hardware would fail, the ring of green light(s) on the front of the 360 would suddenly turn red. (In the name of full disclosure, I've had two retail 360s go to 360 heaven.) Microsoft addressed this issue in two ways. One, they reworked the specs on later generations of 360s, greatly reducing the failure rate. And two, they developed a consumer-friendly repair program that made it relatively easy for consumers to get their faulty 360s repaired or replaced.
You should know that the red rings still do occur on occasion. Pray you don't suffer one. Trust me, it's very traumatizing. You have to put the 360 into a tiny cardboard coffin and ship it to Texas, where a Wall-E will eventually find it hundreds of years from now.
Xbox Live
As I said above, the best reason to own a 360 is its terrific Xbox Live service. Yes, it's costly ($50 for a Gold-level membership). But it's worth it, especially since the November '08 update. Sure, now the service features user-friendly Avatars (that are eerily like the Miis on the Nintendo Wii) and a new, easier-to-navigate interface, but it's the partnership with DVD-rental service Netflix that makes the service a must-have. If you have a Netflix account, then you're entitled to instantly watch streaming movies via Xbox Live. The quality -- as long as you have a strong Internet connection -- is great. And while the list of titles that can be streamed is still somewhat limited, it's growing all the time. Now, whenever I log into Live, at least half of the folks on my Friends List aren't gaming; they're watching Netflix.
A word about Xbox Live Arcade
Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) is a magical virtual space that features old-school PC classics (Duke Nukem 3D, DOOM), musty quarter-eaters (Joust, Ms. Pac-Man), Dreamcast masterworks (Soulcalibur) and new-school IPs (Geometry Wars, Braid). All games are available for 400, 800 or 1,200 Microsoft Points (not to be confused the soon-to-be-explained Achievement Points) which can be purchased, conveniently enough, via credit card. All of these old and new games look and play great on the 360, with a few exceptions. For example, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a superb game, but trying to throw a Dragon Punch via the 360 controller is basically an exercise in futility.
A word about those Achievement Points
Achievement Points, which build your Gamerscore, can be earned by playing any game in the Xbox 360 Library. Each disc features an allotted 1,000 Points which can be squeezed out of a game by meeting certain criteria and challenges. For example, failing a song on the Easy skill level in Guitar Hero II will earn you the Long Road Ahead Achievement (worth 10 Points). Achievement Points have no real-world value whatsoever, yet don't be surprised if you find yourself up until 4 a.m. trying to earn the Suicide Missionary Achievement in Gears of War 2. (Complete the game on the Insane difficulty level, and earn a whopping 150 Points.) In other words, there's something oddly addictive about that little "bloop" electronic noise the 360 makes and the weird icon that pops up on-screen whenever you unlock an Achievement. If you haven't experienced this, then you have no idea what I'm talking about. But unlock a few, and you'll see the light. How successful have the Achievement Points/Gamerscore concepts been for Microsoft? Sony, playing catch-up, is trying to implement a late-to-the-party Trophy system that feels, in my opinion, terribly flat in comparison.
Backward compatibility
If you've still got your old original Xbox games lying around, the Xbox 360 will play some of them. Yes, I said "some." Right now, there are around 400 original Xbox games that will play on the 360. Look here for the most current list of compatible titles.
HDTV = essential
If you don't own a high-definition television, you're not really going to be able to appreciate the true power of the Xbox 360. Games like Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 and Fable II will practically sear your corneas in 1080p. I know you just forked over a wad of cash for your 360, but you should seriously consider laying out more dough for an HDTV to get the most bang for your buck. You can get yourself a perfectly respectable HDTV now for less than $1,000.
Hard drive vs. no hard drive
There is the nicer-priced version of the Xbox 360 -- the so-called Xbox 360 Arcade -- which retails for less than $200 these days. But what you should know about this version is that it doesn't ship with a hard drive. All game saves must go onto a Memory Unit (aka MU), the tiny little cards that plug into the front of the 360.
Xbox 360 Hard Drive (120GB)
Order It Now
My guess is that everyone, sooner or later, is going to want a hard drive. In fact, using the 360 without a hard drive is like trying to drive a car without wheels, or eat an ice cream cone without the cone, or watch a rerun of "Sex and the City" and think, I wonder what the old, whore-y one is going to do in this episode.
Hard drives are not only great for storing game saves and system updates; you can also fill them up with movies, music, photos and various other effluvia that can turn your 360 into a formidable multimedia machine.
Hard drives retail for around $150. I recommend picking one up, if your Xbox 360 didn't come with one.
Must-buy hardware
Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter
Order It Now
Wireless Network Adapter ($100). The Wii and PS3 both have built in Wi-Fi, but the 360 does not. If your TV isn't near your router, you'll unfortunately need to pick up one of these jobbies. A nice alternative that I've also used: the Powerline AV Networking Adapter (around $130), which uses your home's existing electrical wiring to transmit your Wi-Fi signal.
Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit
Order It Now
Play & Charge Kit ($20). Recharge your wireless controller while you play. Small caveat: The controller does seem to get warm in the battery pack region, especially if you're holding it in your lap.
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Order It Now
Wireless Controller ($50). No doubt your 360 shipped with only one controller. Pick up a second for those split-screen Left 4 Dead sessions.
Xbox 360 Headset
Order It Now
Headset ($20). If your 360 didn't come packaged with a headset, be sure to pick one up. Microsoft also makes a wireless headset; avoid that one (it's poorly designed and painful to wear -- see below). Go with the old-fashioned wired one instead.
512MB Memory Unit for Xbox 360
Order It Now
512 MB Memory Unit ($50). It's helpful to have an MU handy, in case you want to bring your saved games on the road with you.
Must-avoid hardware
Any third-party "coolers." These coolers are designed to keep your Xbox 360 from overheating. But as long as your 360 is placed in a well-ventilated area (hint: The only thing that should be touching it on three sides is air), you'll be fine.
Wireless Headset Communicator ($50). This is the aforementioned wireless headset. It looks nice, but I'll bet medieval torture devices were more fun to wear. Avoid.

These are good times for ranchers. In fact, the market outlook for this year is so good, "I can't believe what I hear myself saying to cattle producers," says Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension livestock economist. "We expect record levels of profitability for cow-calf operators."
Peel and other economists always hesitate to project record-high prices or profits, but 2014 is no ordinary year. It's probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for ranchers. Smaller cattle numbers and lower feed costs are the fundamentals that paint the rosiest cattle outlook in memory.
"The markets are not our biggest worry," Peel says. "Prices are going to be good. Producers must focus on producing as much as possible to sell into this market. They can't afford any death loss when calves are worth $1,000."
Do all you can. Glynn Tonsor, Kansas State University Extension economist, agrees—now is the time to capitalize on the market. "We've seen improvements in forage production and declining grain prices. That translates into improved cow-calf profitability in 2014."
Regarding those profit levels, Tonsor says the Livestock Marketing Information Center data suggest that returns over cash costs will exceed $300 per cow in 2014. "That's double the returns we saw during the two most profitable in that data set—2004 and 2013," he explains. "Even if we add $100 per cow labor costs, that's still a good profit."
Such shiny prospects for cow-calf producers, however, are not limited to just this year. Tonsor says he expects "an abnormally profitable environment" for ranchers over the next four or five years.
Manage for the market. Feeder cattle and calf prices are 25% to 30% higher than this past May. As spring nears, those prices are likely to go higher. Weaned calves were worth $900 to $1,000 per head this past fall, and they could sell for more than that by next fall. Now is not the time to cut corners on production practices.
"Producers must focus on managing their production and managing their costs," Peel says. "They must minimize death loss because those calves are so valuable."
Both Peel and Tonsor encourage cattle producers to maintain animal health programs for cows and calves. "Things that producers can manage, such as animal health programs, are worth even more in this environment," Peel says.
Adding value to calves through preconditioning and weaning programs is essential in today's market as the risks are higher for buyers.
Stocker operators and feedyards will likely be forced to pay more for replacement animals this year, and with more money on the line, they'll be searching for ways to minimize their production risks.
Paying higher prices for preconditioned and weaned calves just makes sound business sense for cattle buyers. They are more likely to shy away from the risks associated with calves that have been weaned on the road to the auction market.
Beef demand. While shrinking supplies of cattle and lower feed costs work in favor of cattle producers, many analysts are raising concerns about beef demand and rising retail beef prices. For instance, Darrell Mark, adjunct professor of economics at South Dakota State University, says beef consumption is likely to decline about 5% this year to about 53 lb. per person (retail weight equivalent). In 2015, beef consumption could drop to 52 lb. per person.
Declining beef consumption is a reflection of supplies, not necessarily demand. Still, reduced supplies have already spurred record-high retail prices. From January through October of 2013, the price of all fresh retail beef averaged $4.93 per pound.

Managing your car's transmission in excellent shape is essential to stay away from even more troubles with your engine. Transmission issues are often a result of heating up. Making your automobile hold heavy contents or over speeding can certainly deplete your transmission and will often lead to transmission replacement. When it gets too hot, transmission fluids melt off and the lubricating elements decay. However, heating up isn't the primary source of transmission concerns. Many times transmissions cease working caused by substandard design or insufficient upkeep.
Automatic transmissions are near impossible to take care of compared to manual transmissions. In the event the car is earnestly troubled, the automatic transmissions very easily break soon after that. Many automobile suppliers make vehicles with automatic transmissions. Really being automatic, vehicles with such type of transmission are less difficult to drive.
Cars with automatic transmission are as well made available by second-hand car dealers. Car professionals guide individuals to always check their transmissions to circumvent sudden troubles from coming about. Many hints may signify if your transmission desires replacement. The most typical is noise regardless of the sort. This suggests that your transmission is fragile and is tattered. Other sorts of signs can include fluid spots beneath your car, no speeding and vehicular motion while you're on neutral.
Circumstances particularly these can be easily fixed by your local second hand car dealers. Car dealers look over their used automobiles right before selling them, and that's why they provide warranties for any second hand car that purchased. This warranty involves replacement of car accessories and mechanical services. You may also get your vehicle to your very own technician to keep your transmissions shortly replaced.
When getting your automobile examined and serviced, frequently offer a complete account of all problems to your car service manufacturers or pre-owned car retailers. Car pros assume that by giving your technician precise records, they could repair or replace your transmission proficiently and offer you likely causative factors for the malfunction of the transmission. To keep from consistent transmission replacement, constant servicing of your automobile needs to be exercised just after buying.

I have a very strange problem!
I have built a windows 2008 R2 domain I have added a Win 7 PC to it. When I log on to the PC with a domain admin account I can access Devices and Printer. When I logon using a normal domain user account, Devices and Printer does not load. I end up with a white box with the green progress bar, but no icons! I have tested as local user account and it does the same. I have no GPOs applying to the user. The only GPO that applies to the machine is the default domain policy. I have nothing configured in this GPO above the standard. I have read on the net and the only suggestion has been to enable the Bluetooth service. I have tried this but to no avail. This has also been tested on two different computers (one Dell and one HP).
My Windows 7 PC is about to make a quick exit out the window! This is driving my up the wall, apart from this issue, I have a fully functional 2008R2/Windows 7 secured school domain
If anyone can test this issue on their windows 7 network I would be interested to hear if you have the same issue.
Edd Watton
Ok! it looks like I found the problem. It would appear the GPO that sets station permissions Windows 7 does not like! Once this policy has applied Windows 7 remains trashed, it would continue to not work even if the computer was removed from the domain. Anyway... I am now recreating the GPO to make it Windows 7 "friendly".
Hopefully I will have the new network finished ready to put into priduction in the next couple of days.

My family enjoyed this recipe on a hot summer evening. We used basil and arugula instead of dill and watercress. We picked out the beans and gave them to my 10 month old daughter as finger food. She gobbled them up and licked the dressing off her fingers!
Shrimp and White Bean Salad with Creamy Lemon-Dill Dressing

I thought this salad was good. And I will make it again for myself. However, I can only give it 3 stars as the rest of my family refused to eat it. I think next time I will use cucumbers instead of the fennel for a different flavor.
substance Posted: 09/02/09
Family really liked this, including my 4 year old. I don't love mayo, so I used 4 tbsp Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp mayo, and then thinned it a bit with water since the greek yogurt is so much thicker than regular yogurt. Grocery store didn't have the fennel or the watercress, so I substituted some really thinly bias cut heart celery and shredded some napa cabbage I had on hand in place of the cress. Worked great.
hearth Posted: 05/17/09
This was easy and tasty. I'm always looking for ways to use up fresh herbs I have purchased to make another recipe. In this case, the dill. Very easy on the daily calorie count as well. I will definitely make this again.
dunlappcg Posted: 12/16/09
Great dish!!! My husband who is a 'food critic' gave this five stars. We prefer to make our last meal of the day, light...so this was perfect. I substituted spinach only because I couldn't find really fresh watercress. I will make this again and will also try the arugula/basil suggestion to change it up. This would be great served for lunch or dinner...healthy, light and delicious!
bldnewmom Posted: 07/08/11
Very yummy! Even my 2 yr old daughter loved it! We had it over spring baby greens. I used dried dill to taste since I didn't have fresh! I think this would also be yummy as a shrimp version of a lobster roll. Use the shrimp & bean mixture in a good quality hot dog bun. Love the crunch of fennel and carrots! Will make again!
franMc Posted: 10/06/11
A quick and easy weeknight dinner. Since i used greek yogurt, I added extra lemon juice to thin the dressing. I also added grated lemon peel for extra impact. I did not have dill, so used basil which worked well. I substitued baby greens for the watercress since I had them on hand. Adding the lemon juice and olive oil to the greens really elevated the flavors and brought the dish together. The white beans added a creaminess, and were a surprisingly nice addition. I will make this dish again!
daneanp Posted: 09/24/12
I really loved this shrimp salad with just one exception - I wasn't big on the watercress. Next time I'll sub some mixed greens or even romaine instead. Served with freshly baked breadsticks. Nice, easy weeknight meal.
MaliaJ Posted: 06/05/13
Really great summer salad. I used basil instead of dill, spring mix instead of watercress and skipped adding any extra salt, lemon, etc at the end. Delicious!

You know that game you play for hours every single night, and dream about playing throughout every single day? We can't stand the damn thing. You remember that game you treasured as a child, the one you still get warm and fuzzy and misty-eyed just thinking about? Seriously, it sucks.
Sorry, but as you may have noticed by now, gamers are a diverse and extremely opinionated bunch. If you love something with all your heart and soul, we guarantee you that someone else hates it with an equal amount of passion. Chances are good, in fact, that the person who despises your precious favorite is a person you know, like or even trust.
Your favorite GamesRadar editor, for example…
What follows are the "classics" our individual staffers consider crap. The overrated gems we just don't understand. You may not agree with us, but that's okay - in most of these cases, we don't even agree with each other.
Silent Hill 2 fails miserably, and oh-so-painfully, at attempting to reach that middle ground. Actually, scratch that - Silent Hill 2 doesn't even try to reach that middle ground.
Above: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most overrated of them all?
It's all build-up and no payoff. You spend at least an hour in the beginning just walking. Walking through a drab, sepia-toned soup that is not only supposed to pass for fog, but is also supposed to be this franchise's defining quality. Later, waste ten minutes of your life descending, on foot, into the underwater prison and your reward is... another endless series of dank hallways and rusty doors that look no different than the last two buildings you rummaged through like a bored vagrant.
Above: The entirety of Silent Hill 2
Know what else, Konami? You can concoct as many bizarre-looking freaks as you want. You can even put them in nurse outfits and make them have dirty bathroom sex with Pyramid Head. But unless you give them some kind of psychologically frightening reason for existing, it's... just... not... scary. (See how you like it when I drag everything out?) "It's all in the character's mind" doesn't count. In fact, that's a total copout. So is making me play through this mess multiple times to get a real, mildly comprehensible ending.
If this is the best the genre has to offer, the genre is broken. Survival horror games can and should be better than Silent Hill 2.
You see, I really rate Super Mario Bros on NES. It is, quite simply, a masterpiece. It's still as enjoyable today as it ever was and ever will be. And though my knowledge of Super Mario Bros 3 is limited, I was amazed at the cleverness of the level design when I watched my girlfriend demonstrate its secrets in a comprehensive play-through the other day. These are fantastic games.
But Super Mario World is not. You've got one of the most competent 2D consoles ever made in the SNES, yet this looks incredibly basic. Its tiny character sprites (Bullet Bills notwithstanding), detail-starved backgrounds and limited animation frames are not a patch on other platformers of the time.
The sound is annoying, the music featuring twee little instrument sounds that seem to mimic SNES Mario's stupid little feet as he runs. The level design does not seem as intricate as Super Mario Bros 3 nor as simple and enjoyable as SMB1. Sure, it's peppered with variety, such as riding Yoshi (which I do like) and being able to fly with your cape (again, I like). But then you get some annoying, slow levels like the Ghost House or the scrolling screen sections.
The bosses are weak, both in stamina and design, and feel a bit like an apology to me. The world is also too big to play through in one sitting and the save option dulls the challenge, as lives have no real meaning. The experience feels diluted from the challenge of SMB1.
Perhaps the problem is that Mario is not my childhood friend as he was for a lot of other people, so I don't have that automatic love for him. I have finished Galaxy with 120 stars, finished New Super Mario Bros on DS, completed Mario Land 1 and 2 on GB… I even enjoyed Mario Sunshine. But I don't like this. Deal with it.
Heading up the pity-party cast is Squall, a pissy anti-hero who's allegedly falling in love with the delicate Rinoa Heartilly. I say "allegedly" because you see next to zero acts of passion from Squall. His dialogue boxes usually go something like this:
How long must you wait to finally see the happy couple united? Dozens of hours. Four discs of complaining and abandonment issues. Antisocial Squall won't even crack a smile until the ending, yet he's surrounded by supportive (but still whiny) friends the whole time. Hell, the entire cast of FFVIII is a manifestation of Squall's emotional desert: insecurity (Quistis), overconfidence (Zell), naivety (Selphie), compassion (Rinoa)... it's a list of stereotypical, contrasting personalities. This isn't Fight Club and Laguna isn't Tyler Durden. Troubled characters are one thing, but this cast is just plain down in the dumps. Plus, for a game centered around the idea of love (as evidenced by the logo artwork, Squall and Rinoa embracing), it's home to a forced, uninteresting romance rivaling of Attack of the Clones.
As for the battles... could they be any more obnoxious? No magic points, just sucking spells out of enemies? Yeah, that's fun. Makes perfect sense too, yanking healing spells out of butterflies and fire attacks from robots. And how about the unskippable, cutscene-length summon attacks? If we wanted to see monsters beat the crap out of each other, we'd watch Destroy All Monsters, not spend hours pretending to play a game.
Above: Look cool? Imagine watching it for the 10th time in one day
In high school, everyone steers clear of the known jerks. Just because there's a good heart underneath Squall's off-putting demeanor doesn't mean anyone's going to stick around to find out. I sure as hell didn't.

2 coats, no top coat
I really do love this. I've found the quality of MAC polish has changed in the past year or two... I had it on for 4 days before I ended up having to take it off because I ripped my nail really low and had to patch it. I then trimmed them all down because I can't function at work with really long nails (that's how I ripped it in the first place).
Here's my comparison of it with Peridot.
|Left to right - Immortal Gold, Peridot, Immortal Gold, Peridot
As you can see, they're similar but not identical. Immortal Gold is just more of a very green gold without the duochrome flash that Peridot has. Peridot has also more of a foil-y finish than Immortal Gold does.

Meringue ghosts - Foodies' corner
We decided to demystify the meringue creation process and talk you through the method – like a guiding spirit in the Halloween kitchen.
|0.13 tsp
|Cream of tartar
|Eggs, whites, at room temperature
|¾ cup
|Caster sugar
|½ tsp
- Preheat the oven to 100 degC.
- Place the egg whites into a spotless mixer bowl. Whisk until the egg whites are foamy.
- Turn off the mixer, add the cream of tartar, and continue beating on a medium-high speed until the whites reach soft peaks.
- Start adding the caster sugar a few spoonfuls at a time with the mixer running. Once all of the sugar has been added, mix in the vanilla.
- Continue to whisk the egg whites until they are very thick, glossy, and a shiny white colour.
- When you stop the mixer and lift the whisk out of the whites, the whites should have a very stiff peak. This process will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Line 2 trays with baking paper. Spoon the meringue mixture into a piping bag tted with a 6mm (1/4 inch) round piping nozzle, or if you don't have this, pour into a large zip-lock bag with a 6mm hole cut in the corner.
- Pipe your meringue into ghost shapes. Approximately 12 ghosts onto each baking sheet for a total of 24 meringue ghosts.
- Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for an hour. After an hour, open the oven door and continue to cook for 30 minutes, then turn the oven off but leave the door open.
- Use the black icing to give each ghost two dots for eyes and a mouth.

Doesn't look like it works with the email messages though. Contacts and other things are easy to move over, even if you just had to re-create them. Moving the mail is a different story.Originally Posted by macresource
A collection of over 50 scripts to export and import almost everything - Contacts, Groups, Calendar Events, Tasks, Notes, Messages, Folders, Accounts, Signatures, Mailing Lists and Categories - from one identity of Entourage X or 2004 to any other, to and from Entourage 2001, and to transfer Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes to and from other PIM programs on the Mac and Windows, with special converters for Microsoft OUTLOOK, Excel and other programs.
Release Notes: v1.3.9 is for both Entourage 2004 and Entourage X, and will work in Tiger OS 10.4, Panther OS 10.3 and Jaguar OS 10.2. v1.3.9 fixes bugs in several of the Excel scripts (see Version Info doc for details). In addition, all the converter scripts from Entourage to Outlook or "Others" had a bug which would occur only in the very rare case if your Finder as installed by OS 10.3 or 10.4 is unscriptable.

Hi folk I am about to shift across from Wintel (Windows XP Professional) to Mac sadly I am technically utterly incompetent even if as a user I am reasonably capable this is my first posting but judging from the valuable advice I expect to be an avid reader! If not contributor (for now)
like all determined switchers I face the perennial challenge of converting:
1. all my Outlook 2003 (not express) Mail across to Apple Mail or Entourage
2. all my Outlook 2003 Contacts across to Apple Address Book or Entourage
Questions - General =====
1. What mail programme do people recommend if I am permanently shifting to using Apple Mac (I see a lot of criticism of Entourage, but none of Apple Mail)?
2. What is the easiest way to convert 1000´s of Outlook Contacts across to Apple Address Book or Entourage?
Question Synchronizing HP iPAQ data with Outlook ======
I sync my HP iPAQ with my Outlook (Windows) using Active Sync routinely can I sync it with Outlook (Macintosh)?
Is there another Mail programme such data from the HP Compaq Ipaq can be synchronized with?
Questions - Based on research gleaned from these and other pages
I understand that:
- Outlook 2001 (Macintosh) can be imported to entourage.
- Outlook 2001 (Windows) cannot be imported to entourage.
++Options that I have seen mentioned by others but do not clearly ´get´:
1. some have mentioned that with MS exchange on a server it is possible .. however this is not clear to me, how does this work?
2. Others have mentioned that with Outlook Express it is possible to move all information can Outlook Express import all Outlook data so it can then be exported to Entourage or Apple Mail and Apple Address Book?
3. another has mentioned importing all outlook data into Eudora then importing all data into Apple Mail or Entourage does this apply to all address information and mails?
4. Others have mentioned that Apple Mail has exchange settings and thus fully supports exchange as of MacOS 10.4. And that Microsoft has added Exchange settings to its POS with Entourage 2004. Does this mean that it is now possible to import contact info and mails direct to Apple Mail, Apple Address Book and Entourage from Outlook or am I correct in understanding that this can only be conducted through Exchange on a server?:
5. Has anyone used 02M from www.littlemachines.com? I´d love to hear how it works!
... I look forward to hearing ...
I need to import Outlook calendar information into Entourage. Has anyone figured out how to do that?
Use O2M from your Windows machine to your Mac.
Mac Pro Dual 2.8 Quad (2nd gen), 14G Ram, Two DVD-RW Drives, OS X 10.9.1
2006 Mac Book Pro 2.16 (first Gen) OS X 10.7.5
2TB Time Capsule, 2 TB
Black, iPad (3rd Gen) 32G Black
I am a new Mac user, and have Entourage. However, I did not want my Outlook 2003 mail to be transferred to the Mac, just the contacts. The way I did it was:
- Imported all my contacts to Outlook Express (still on the Windows XP machine).
- Opened up Address Book in Outlook Express
- Selected all my contacts and dragged (copied) them into a temp folder (this created vcf or vcard copies of each contact)
- transferred this temp folder to my Mac
- Opened Entourage on the Mac, selected Address Book
- Opened the temp folder and selected all the vcf files, drag and drop into Address Book.
All my contacts were copied over - without any loss that transcoding to a csv file would have created.
Pretty low tech but hope this helps.
I also have this problem having recently migrated from windows to mac. The thread suggested this product to export from Outlook on a PC to Entourage.
Good luck ...
Outlook to Entourage has a new version that will move the whole account for free:

From Paladin to Death Knight (lolop :P), for me.
My first 80 was a Paladin, loved leveling that bugger up. Got him all geared up too, but now I've got a level 80 warlock and death knight (Yay, that only took nearly two years of my life! :P).
The warlock I got up because there wasn't enough ranged dps on my realm, and too much melee dps (particularly plate dps). The death knight ended up being at 80 before the warlock and has ended up better geared too, because I'm too much of a melee whore and like mah death knight.
I like all my alts, but I fell in love (as nerdy as that sounds) with the death knight class pretty much as soon as I hit 70+. It's mostly personal preference but I liked that I done more damage on my death knight, and I liked kicking ass in BGs as opposed to my paladin.
Oh, and as much of a melee whore I am, I'm also a fan of dual-wield and death knights start at 55 soooooo... the choice was pretty easy. :P
Do you really need battle.net to do this? There are tons of chat clients already dedicated to being chat clients. No need to reinvent the wheel. Sure, it is nice to have something that is integrated into the game. But, I already chat with my 'real' friends outside of wow. Why would you want to pay extra for a service that is already available to you?

Chunky Australian Opal Bracelet
- 79.2 carats solid Australian opal
- 1.3 carats AAA Mozambique garnet
- Sterling silver Bali style spacers
- Sterling silver hook clasp
This stunning bracelet is a one off design handmade from 79.2 carats of solid Australian Lambina crystal opal. Each opal sphere measures between 9-13mm and is masterfully cut with a high polish. The opals are accented with sterling silver Bali style spacer beads and the bracelet is finished with 1.3 carats of AAA grade natural and untreated red garnet and a large handmade sterling silver hook clasp.
The opals in this bracelet display mixed red and green fire on a rare amber crystal base, with some beads exhibiting the colour play in scattered flashes and some in a more striped orientation. Only 1 in 1000 cut opals is a true amber opal, with the majority of amber opal coming from Lambina. Owning a whole bracelet of amber crystal opal exhibiting precious fire is a rare thing, especially when the opals are of such a large size.
The opals in this bracelet are much brighter than pictured - we never use camera tricks when photographing our opals, which are notoriously difficult to photograph at the best of times, so if you like the photographs, you'll love the bracelet.
This Australian opal bracelet is fully hallmarked by the London Assay Office and stamped with Sugarpuss London's unique studio maker's mark.

You'll have to get used to people saying, "What the hell is that thing?"
You're gonna have to use your imagination here, but the Burton EST Tool gives you a Phillips #2 and #3 screwdriver, a bottle opener, and an Infinite Channel System Plug Pick for your ICS board. You see: Burton integrated everything so none of the bits can get away, and designed it so you can adjust your EST bindings with your gloves on. But by doing this, Burton made it so no one knows what the hell this thing is when it's all closed up. **DISCONTINUED**

This is crap.
Member since
The EST plug puller doesn't have enough friction to stay in the back of the tool and it falls right out.
The screw heads are mounted in soft plastic that is not hard enough to hold the head. As such, when you tighten a screw the head turns in its rubber/plastic mount and breaks. I was not over-tightening the screws. When I hit it with a regular Burton bullet tool, I still had an easy half turn to go.
Skip this tool. Burton needs to redesign it.

When I first tried working with SAI I was like "Woooooooow AWESOME!" but on the long go I feel like I'm too limited in my actions.
It would be too great if someone would make a program that works as smooth as sai, is as easy to use as Open Canvas and allows us to use all the things we like about Painter and Photoshop :/
But Sai indeed is awesome if you have to line something
░▒▓█▀▄ Please critique my SKETCHBOOK ▄▀█▓▒░
Are you using a Bamboo tablet? Those are problematic with SAI, so are other brand tablets. There's a fix for bamboo and SAI.
And yeah SAI's limitedness is becoming intolerable, hopefully SAI v2 is on the verge.
No, I'm using an intuos 3, but I managed to find a solution. It turns out that things get finicky when you still have two tablets installed.Are you using a Bamboo tablet? Those are problematic with SAI, so are other brand tablets. There's a fix for bamboo and SAI.
SAI is my favorite program right now, it's like painter without the confusion.
This thing is awesome, it's like Painter but without all the things I never use anyway.
Yes SAI doesn't support more than one tablet connected.
Been using SAI since the beginning and it hasn't grown much in features, really needs better selection tools.
Wow a very cool program. I tried this a while back and wasn't able to get the pressure to work and forgot about it. I was able to get it to work tonight though. Think I'll pick this little gem up. I love how it handles color when painting. I think my Painter program is going to start gathering dust.
I know this thread is a bit old, but if some of you use any intuos tablets with paint tool SAI there are some different problems that somewhat always affect tablet pressure sensitivity.
For some it's that you have had 2 tablets installed. Uninstall one.
SAI does not work with Bamboo, there is a fix, which I wont post the link because someone before me already has.
Other tablets sometimes do not also work with SAI, check around for an individual fix for your tablet brand and model.
sometimes pressure sensitivity stops working even if you did not have problems before. Often a fix is to use the Wacom tablet utility and delete -all- user preferences.
I would dearly love to try it, but I think the link is broken..
Downloaded a trial for Corel Painter 8 and was just left confused. A simple program like Sai will make my days!
SAI probably would be a fairly decent choice for simple organic objects - I downloaded it and tried it, but to my disappointment it didn't nearly have the options that photoshop offered me, and the robot that I tried to draw did not really end out good looking all. Certainly has a unique way of using it's brushes, but not a program I'd choose to use indefinitely.

I do that thing where you scalp cars-salesmen and call it art.

Personally I really like Paint Tool SAI, I just bought it the other day. Blending colours seems to me like the perfect medium between Photoshop's "not at all" and Painter's "super mushy".
Haven't been using it for long though so we'll see how it goes.
MY WEBSITE: PaintedSky.ca
MY SKETCHBOOK: Ook's Book - Karyl Craves Your Approval
I use it, but I do feel jealous when people start doing stuff in photoshop that I can't do.
Photoshop brushes are suburbly slow on my computer. I could use a new one..
I felt like a bulldozer
Trying to catch a butterfly
[. My Deviantart... ]
SAI is a fabulous application tool. Like some I agree it's a "Mini Painter", only more cut down and programmed to be lightweight on system resources, small on memory and cpu performance, but kept dynamic with its simple brushes.
The major thing I enjoy about SAI compared to Painter is its capability of easy blending/bleeding with its main brush. Hues are more fluid to blend together in a single stroke, mixing from one hue to the next on the canvas surface with a selected colour. Painter (in my experience) feels much more stiff in regards of blending/bleeding the hues with strokes alone. I can smoothen a paitning in SAI with brush strokes alone and not need to blend it with its BLUR. I don't know if that's my own system or tablet or that really is how Painter works.
There is much you can do in SAI that you can in Photoshop and Painter, but again SAI is taking a few of these basic elements from these applications and taking them into a more simple, fundamental layout.
I use SAI and Painter for my works, back n forth!
Does anyone know if SAI lets you do comic book lettering? I know Corel draw does, but SAI is more in my financial range.
Does anyone know if you can do comic book lettering with Paint tool SAI? I know you can do lettering with Paint.net, but I want to know if SAI has that feature before I download it or buy it.
No there's no Text Tool in SAI, I wonder what those two empty boxes in the tools panel were for but I doubt we'll ever know since SAI development seems to be dead for quite some time. Maybe he has hopes a big company will buy SAI or something.
that really would be nice. the cross-platform MyPaint holds similar potential but SAI is just on a whole other professional level in performance of design. :/ it's odd though, I wonder how many copies of SAI he sold. If he's really just one guy, with such an app, and given the number of japanese wacom users, shouldn't he be.. well, well funded to continue dev one would think...
I am checking randomly the Paint Tool Sai site and dear lord, this time I can see an update!! Only a Japanese update but at least the software is alive.

good to see he's working again! now maybe he'll jump on the horse of finishing the vector graphics features soon pepper pepper salt salt!
I didn't even try, thanks for the suggestion, it works perfectly.oh thank you!! if you download the lower binary link, the update binary you'll retain the english language of the program while updating.

I hope a new version will allow to use a dark UI or at least a dark/black background around the canvas.
Yes that would be great... I remember hex-hacking the sai binary making it dark but I couldn't get all the white changed so I gave up x)

Trevecca @ NYC 2011
When 6,000 students gathered for NYC 2011, Trevecca was there.
NYC (Nazarene Youth Conference) is an exciting event held by the Church of the Nazarene every 4 years. The event is geared for high school students and features dynamic speakers, worship with thousands of other high school students from the USA and Canada, informative breakout sessions, service projects in the community, high energy concerts, and much more.
This year's event was held July 5-10 in the Louisville, Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) and Downtown Arena. Participants engaged in events that were designed to foster spiritual and intellectual growth and the formation of new friendships. NYC offered recreation, worship, workshops on living the Christian life, and concerts with performances from Toby Mac, David Crowder Band, and Starfield. Speakers included Chris Folmsbee, Francis Chan, and David Graves, among others.
In addition, NYC attendees worked on a mission's project with Bundles of Hope, an organization that works with the more than 8,000 children, including infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, that are homeless in the Louisville area.
Trevecca, along with other Nazarene colleges and universities, built booths to offer students more information about the school and give them an opportunity to meet TNU students and admissions counselors. Trevecca's booth featured a "Trevecca Park" theme, complete with lawn games, flat screen televisions, gaming systems, and real grass!

Hard to believe, I know, but it is already December!!! I don't know about you, but my week is looking very, very busy. I've created an easy meal plan for the week to help manage our crazy evening schedule this week.

Gluten-Free Cookies:

Gluten-Free Treats:
For more ideas check the roundup below and All Gluten-Free Desserts [20], where Shirley is celebrating its one-year anniversary with the Top 50 Desserts [20].

Mom's Plans: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Menu [27]
Melissa says she has a busy week, too. I'm jealous that she has turkey leftovers still to use. With it, she'll be making Turkey Meatball Soup, Turkey Noodle Soup, and Turkey Fried Rice. Her family will also be having Pork and Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie, Slow-Cooker Polish Sausage, and Ham and Cabbage Bake.

Don't forget to check her full menu for gluten-free breakfast and lunch ideas, too.
Angela's Kitchen: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Menu
The logo and motto at Angela's Kitchen reads "Because Everyone Deserves a Cookie." So, it's no surprise that Angela has a variety of recipe links to share this week: Biscotti [29], Shortbread [30], Bars [31], Cupcakes [32], Muffins [33], Candy [34], and so much more! Her dinner menu this week starts with Bison Sweet Potato Stew and Chicken Cacciatore. Pumpkin Waffles with Turkey Sausage, Cabbage Roll Casserole, and Buffalo Chicken Pizza finish off her yummy week.

Is this how the people who always wine about not being able to eat enough food feel all the time? What a horrible way to go through life, lol.
I get that way when my CNS is fried and I need a deload or week off. When I do take the necessary rest time and come back I am always amazed at just how huge of an impact lifting normally has on my appetite.
