Hi All,
I have requiremnt to enable Mixed mode ( Windows & Forms Based) authentication on Single web application( with out extending). I have done it in Sharepoint server 2010, It is so simple also. But my requirement is on

Is it way to suggest the client or any other alternative to enable the mixed mode authentication?

I'm currently busy with an overview of Best Practices for developing accessible web sites in SharePoint 2007. After a little research I have noticed that the challenges I have faced so far are mostly XHTML/CSS/JS related and there are actually very few SharePoint 2007 specific issues: this has to do with the fact that we use very little to none of standard SharePoint controls in the Internet facing web sites we deliver.
As I would like to share the Best Practices I'm writing with the community I've been wondering whether you have tried to develop an accessible web site in SharePoint 2007 yourself and faced any challenges you would like to share. To make myself clear I'm looking for issues and challenges and not solutions in particular (these are welcome as well by the way).
Recently I've been busy with a research on accessibility of Web Content ManagementÃÂ solutions based on SharePoint 2007. My outcome is: SharePoint 2007 WCM solutions can be accessible and depending on the approach you canÃÂ score up to 95% WCAG 1.0 Priority 2.0 compliancy without any toolkit.
I've been wondering whether anybody else shares my opinion or has his/her own...
We are going live with our new site on internet shortly and we wnat to do an 301 redirect from old url to our new url. e.g. our url
http://www.abc.com/def/ and the new url
http://www.abc.com/efg/klm/zzz.aspx [The domain is same]. It will raise a 404 if we are not set the 301 redirect.
Please let me know how can we do this?
we receive error while trying to create excel sheet using the template we have uploaded on the SharePoint 2007.
This occurs on a machine that has Office 2010 installed. Earlier the machine had Office 2007 and everything was working fine.
Can you let me know why is problem is coming and how to resolve this.
Sanjeev Tiwari
when we do incremental crawl, the items in index start decreasing and the error count remains the same. so it is hard to find what is causing the index items to reduce. can anyone help please. i had to pause the active crawl because of this
index item decrease.
I have checked the following:
1) there is no space issue
2) no credential issue
What I found a bit fishy is that:
1) in the log, i got ->
a)get REGKEY_FLTRDMN_MS_TO_IDLE, using default - _File:\office\source\search\search\gather\fltrdmn\fltrdaemon.cxx Line:323
b) Server Office Server Shared Services 6pls Medium Cache blocked for shared object '1dd1db1d-8a07-4e27-9249-b7d328818fa2' of type 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchSharedApplication'
Please help.
Hi Folks
I am wondering if there is a way to ingest google search index into SharePoint index such that when people search via SharePoint they see the Google results too… incorporated/federated inline with the SP results (not as a separate "box"
We have Google search in our environment and also share-point search. Share-point search for sharepoint site but Google search is for all other environments. Now i am thinking if we ingest the Google search index into share-point then may be its great deal
to provide user a platform to search everything on one place.

Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for
Alternative Names
Insulin resistance syndrome; Syndrome X
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause, but all of the risks for the syndrome are related to obesity.
The two most important risk factors for metabolic syndrome are:
- Extra weight around the middle and upper parts of the body (central
obesity). The body may be described as "apple-shaped."
- Insulin resistance. The the body uses insulin less effectively than normal. Insulin is needed to help control the amount of sugar in the body. As a result, blood sugar and fat levels rise.
Other risk factors include:
- Aging
- Genes that make you more likely to develop this condition
- Hormone changes
- Lack of exercise
People who have metabolic syndrome often have two other problems that can either cause the condition or make it worse:
- Excess blood clotting
- Increased levels of blood substances that are a sign of inflammation throughout the body
Signs and tests
Metabolic syndrome is present if you have three or more of the following signs:
- Blood pressure equal to or higher than 130/85 mmHg
- Fasting blood sugar (glucose) equal to or higher than 100 mg/dL
- Large waist circumference (length around the waist):
- Men - 40 inches or more
- Women - 35 inches or more
- Low HDL cholesterol:
- Men - under 40 mg/dL
- Women - under 50 mg/dL
- Triglycerides equal to or higher than 150 mg/dL
The goal of treatment is to reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Your doctor will recommend lifestyle changes or medicines to help reduce your blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar.
- Lose weight. The goal is to lose between 7% and 10% of your current weight. You will probably need to eat 500 - 1,000 fewer calories per day.
- Get 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, such as walking, 5 - 7 days per week.
- Lower your cholesterol using weight loss, exercise, and cholesterol lowering medicines, if needed.
- Lower your blood pressure using weight loss, exercise, and medicine, if needed.
Some people may benefit from daily low-dose aspirin.
People who smoke should quit.
Expectations (prognosis)
People with metabolic syndrome have an increased long-term risk for developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, kidney disease, and poor blood supply to the legs.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have signs or symptoms of this condition.

Medical question--
I'm currently recovering from a quadruple bypass--been home now for almost three weeks, it's healing well and the home nurse has been impressed with my good vital signs and bloodwork---the question is, have any of you been in a similar situation or know of someone who has and how many months of healing before sighting in my 30-06 ? I have one of the new brown laminated model 700's and just mounted a new Nikon Prostaff on it, the one that can be calibrated for the type of ammo used [ I like the Hornaday 150 grainers ]--
Tried asking the doctors, but they aren't shooters and are not familiar with recoil---I've got it bore sighted, but am getting antsy about a little range time--two months, three months--? Anybody got some good advice ? John

Everybody's different, and everybody also heals differently - in 6 months, you should have enough time to sell that -06, and get a rifle that slings less lead (recoil energy).

The recoil could pull/tear stitches, staples, etc...
If you're just sighting, why not get a good rifle rest and sight it in that way? My dad had open heart and was up and around 3 days later...but not healed. I would say based on my experience and medical training you have at least 2-3 months before you should be shouldering a high powered rifle.
Get a good rest that you can clamp the rifle to, bolt the rest to a table and you're set. Better sighting that way too...no worry about breathing and trigger pull. The rifle won't move

Take the old .22 RF out for some air. Most guys have one even if its been so long that they forgot where they stored it last.
I often find I've been neglecting my rimfires and one should keep in touch with all their firearms.
Air rifles are another option.
When I was all but laid up with a back injury I bought a fair low cost pneumatic air rifle and a about ten thousand Beeman-Webley wadcutters and put the 25 yards of open space in the backyard to good use.
Wasn't long before I was hitting flies on the wing like Jed clampett.
I ended up buying two CO2 handguns, restoring an old S&W 78g, and found two other pellet rifles at salvage stores along with a Daisy Red Rider.
I'm back to large bore centerfire now days, but still like to take the airguns and .22 rimfires out for a workout now and then.
I'd forgotten how much fun these were.
Heavy recoil can mess up surgery anywhere around the chest or back. Wait several months to be on the safe side, and then take it slow.
Reduced loads are another option.
If you don't handload several cartridge companies market reduced recoil loads (.308 reduced recoil is one they sell a lot of ) intended for youngsters to get them acclimated before going to full power stuff.

I've got a nice #1 in .204 and I'm sure that'll be a safe place to start here in another month or so but I should probabely shelve the 06's until next spring--
At present, I don't even have a .22, should have hung onto the CZ with the full length stock--------John

I had a triple bypass ...
that involved the doctors splitting my chest bone, and it took 6 weeks for the bones to fuse back together.
But, that only enabled me to BEGIN rehab which included working out on various machines. One machine was like a bicycle that you "pedaled" with your hands, at chest level. Six weeks on the rehab machines, for a total of 12 weeks (3 months), then I could go back to work ( I was a paper pusher, i.e., a desk jockey). Nothing strenuous.
That was 15 years ago, and my most recent cardiac exam indicates my bypass grafts are "as good as they were when first completed", according to my cardiologist.
I would say after you finish your rehab (exercise) sessions, to your doctors satisfaction, you might try firing some lesser recoil rifles, but don't start out with the '06 for another month.
But, as other posters have noted, everybody heals at a different pace.
Good luck with it.

I had a triple bypass and left the hospital on the sixth day after surgery, drank my first glass of wine on the seventh day and was back to shooting after two months and back to car racing the sixth month but had to wear a protective chest protector(custom made vest)for a short period. The recoil from the pistols was no problem but the smell of the gun powder was a big problem for me, caused me to hyper ventilate on my first two or three trips to the indoor range. Fourteen years later I had two stints inserted with no additional problems to date. I elected to not go through rehab........

Sight in using a "lead sled". That should be safe. Doesn't take long for that surgery to heal up (dad had 4 bypasses) but if you need it sighted in for this deer season (which is almost upon us rifle shooters) I'd go with the lead sled.

JRHilde - which type of surgery did you have? Laparoscopic or split-open-ribcage type? After just three weeks, my two friends who had the latter couldn't even think about something like recoil without wincing.
Like the others here, I'd give it a good long wait. The price of screwing up could be way too high, especially for something that is a hobby.

As I have had by-pass surgery myself, I would say 6 months before shooting a 30-06. The last thing you want to do is cause any problems that could possibly lengthen your full recovery time. Go to rehab, it was the best thing I did, it strengthened me and gave me back my confidence that I could do everything I used to do.

Thanks to all of you, this is the kind of info I was hoping for---I've talked to many who have had this same procedure and the full recovery rate is outstanding---this was the split the breast bone thing, very invasive surgery.
My wife has a life long friend with a farm in mississippi, plenty of hogs, but they aren't going anywhere and will still be there by the time we get moved down there to Louisiana---so I'm thinking that will be at least another two or three months before I'd even get a chance to get over there, should be pretty well healed up by then, plus will have completed rehab---thanks again guys, very useful info--------John

4 months minimum I'd say. Being a roofer, it was about that long before I was allowed to climb again. I then fell 14' the 1st. day back at work! Didn't re-break the chest again, but the cumadin caused significant bruising to appear. Mine was open heart surgery for a rare tumor inside the heart.
You'll know you're healing, but not healed, when you can laugh, sneeze, cough, etc. without wincing. Even bigger than shooting is upper body exertion which can really tear you apart. If taht happens, it can't be fixed. I met many others in the heart unit at the VA that did not heed the warnings about that!

Despite the great recovery stories mentioned here, each case is different. Maybe you are fine to shoot right now. Maybe you NEED the full 3 months to properly heal before the docs are sure things won't come apart inside you. While other people may have had their surgeries and recovered quickly and fine, they didn't have your surgery and were not in your particular condition with your particular level of health, genetic traits, etc.
Unlike joint injuries, say you had shoulder surgery instead, if you tear something in our healing shoulder, you aren't apt to die, but your heart is rather critical to your survival and if you tear something on it, such as some of the repairs they did, then the quickness at which you likely will bleed out means that the injury could be fatal. There isn't any good reason to die because you wanted to sight in a gun. Buy the lead sled. You can still sight it and pull the trigger, but you won't need to shoulder the gun. Plus, there is a chance you may do a better job of it as well using the sled.

I do fully understand the seriousness of any possible damage to the repairs that were made to my heart and that's the reason for the original question--as I stated earlier, the two surgeons I asked had no idea --- they both suggested at least 6 months or more before any shooting but admitted that as non-shooters, they really didn't understand the forces of recoil. The answers from those of you who have been through this or know of another that has and what seemed to be a reasonable healing period, are what I'm looking for---John

All those I have known who have had by-pass surgery still hunted and went to the ranges. I never asked them about how long they waited until restarting their shooting. I have noticed one thing however, their mobility is much more limited than before. No more long hunts or hill scaling. They hunt closer to camp and in a less rugged terrain. They also use natural blinds. I wouldn't dispose of the ol' 06 yet. At least not until you have taken her hunting once.
No such thing as a stupid question. What is stupid is not asking it.

The doctors may not have understood shooting and recoil, and the people unknown to you that you are polling over the internet don't know anything about your surgery.
If you do fully understand, as you say you do, then you will seek advice from a proper medical professional.

You are right, strangers on the net don't know me or about my particular situation, but I have gotten a good over-all feel for what to expect---we have a move coming up soon and it'll be at least another two or three months before we are settled in and I would be in a position to set up a hunt so I'll not be hauling out the cannons anytime soon---I'm not taking this lightly, but I also get a lot of usefull info from this forum---I'll be seeing the doc that actually did the surgery in about two weeks for the final testing and full release---I'll check with him at that time---for now though, thanks all of you for some good advice-------John

Double bypass, heart valve, pacemaker. My doctors advised me that shooting pistols was fine after 4-6 weeks depending upon how I felt. They advised not shooting heavy recoiling rifles or shotguns for 6 months as the "breast bone" area is held together with cartilege and that takes longer than bones to heal.
Following their advice, I had the surgery in August. I started shooting pistols in October, shot my .223 rifle in mid-December, and shot my first 25 shot round of trap in late January.
As pointed out, everyone is different. If I were you, I would not be in a hurry. As my surgeon pointed out during our conversation on the subject of shooting - "You really don't want me going back in and having to wire your breast bone together." I would be cautious, and err on the side being conservative.

After a double bypass the surgeon said "your body will pretty much tell you what you can do". I did wait 5 or 6 months before going back to trap shooting buon ess than three months to go handgun shooting.

"I have noticed one thing however, their mobility is much more limited than before. No more long hunts or hill scaling. They hunt closer to camp and in a less rugged terrain. They also use natural blinds."
I think it's mental, not physical. Some people that have this kind of trauma for the first time in their life let it get to them. I know of people like myself that just continue on after open heart, triple bypass, hernia, back and other surgery.
I know some that have sat on the porch waiting years to drop dead from it and are otherwise healthy. If I get to that point, life has truly ended for me.

Please don't take that the wrong way. I'm on A-fib and have a damaged heart valve. I still climb 40' + to get on roofs most every day. I cut trees down and clear land almost by hand. Do your therapy to get back in shape and live once the injury has healed. Flesh and blood heal nicely and completely.

Frank, your a hoot and an inspiration---I've met several men out at the range who had mentioned a bypass or whatever, but of course I didn't give it much thought til it happened to me---now I understand their pleasure at being back to the range---as I've said, I've got the .204 in a nice heavy Ruger #1 [ very little recoil ],and that will do nicely for awhile--I'm even going to wait a few more weeks before shooting that one----John

Age and your personal health condition are big factors.
If over 50, at least 16 weeks, if over 70, wait six months.
As we get older we damage easier and heal slower.

I'm 55 and I had bypass surgery in June. I have fired pistols but it still hurts to cough and hurts like bloody hell to sneeze. I went back to work in August but those first two weeks like to have killed me. I'm stronger now, a lot stronger but I put on a lot of weight after surgery and quit smoking too so it wears me out to walk very far. I'm not even thinking of firing a rifle yet. Not even a no kicker like a 30-30.

Chip Hates Me
I just have to share this with you. I can't keep this to myself. This is awesome :)
E-mail from Chip:
You posted a picture of the May Dodgers magazine. Matt Kemp is on the cover. Is that a real cover? Did you photoshop it? This magazine does not exist! I went to the last 3 games at Dodger Stadium. No one is selling this magazine!!! You are posting fake pictures and I don't think that's nice. I only went to Dodger Stadium to buy this magazine. I asked the vendors and all of them told me it does not exist. They are still selling the April Issue of Jonathan Broxton on the cover. Even one vendor told me that if he doesn't know then no one in the internet should know. He says he knows who's on the cover a day before it goes on sale! So how do you know? You're nobody. I will stop reading your dumb blog because you lie to the fans!
Hi Chip. Nice name. Like Chipper Jones? Or just Chip? You're asking me too many questions. Let's go in order.
Is that a real cover? Yes sir.
Did you photoshop it? No sir.
So how do you know? You're nobody. I'm somebody, I hope :)
Relax Chip. I guess you didn't pay attention to my blog post. Click here and read it again.
What does it say? It says: I believe it won't be on sale until Tuesday May 4!
Tell the vendor to read my blog. I forgive you. Have a nice day Chipper. Oh, one more thing, you said you only went to Dodger Stadium to buy this magazine? Are you serious? The game itself is not worth it?

Chip aside (chip ahoy?), that is one lame cover design. It looks like I got a $4.99 desktop publishing program off the shelf at Office Depot, drank about 8 pints, blindfolded myself, and started designing. For shame, Dodgers Worlfdwide Media or whoever churns this stuff out.
Also, it's interesting that the mag will prominently feature someone who the front office nooooooot so long ago chastised publicly.
- May 3, 2010 at 4:00 PM
- Roberto said...
@ Dusty - Yeah it's a bit weird that he's on the cover after what happened. I'm sure they picked this cover before the season started.
Yeah you're right about the design. It's too plain.

Although it has barely started, I already feel that this is a winter that's overstayed its welcome!
Here in the Midwest, as in other parts of the country, we've had more than our fair share of ice storms, strong winds, bitter cold, and periods of seemingly unending snow.
And as a gardener, typically an outdoor person currently stranded in an indoor world, I feel a certain indignation at my captivity.
Still, as I reflect upon the successes and failures of the past season, I find that there are a handful of jewels in my garden – some familiar plants as well as plants not so well known – that speak to my soul.
Undoubtedly, I will find new favorites, but at this moment at least, these are the plants which I just can't live without.
What unites them is that they have all, in one way or another captivated my soul with their alluring beauty, their evocative fragrance, their silken frailty or their brawny robustness. Some are widely available; others, harder to find. But, should you succumb to their seductive charms, as I have, I hope you will also find them as irresistible as I do.
– Glaucidium palmatum (Japanese wood poppy)
One of the stars of the early spring garden, this perennial treasure from the cool forests in the mountains of Japan is one of the truly great plants of the woodland garden. A slow-growing, mound-forming plant, Glausidium palmatum displays its large, silky lilac-pink flowers, measuring up to three inches across, above large, veined, and crinkled maplelike leaves.
The delicate, solitary blossoms, opening in late May or early June, last approximately three weeks and are the perfect foil to the handsome spring green, softly textured leaves. Flowers emerge almost as soon as the foliage comes up in early spring. A mature clump, growing to a height of 2 feet, is a breathtaking sight to behold.
Proper siting is crucial, for this is not always an easy plant to get established. Hardy to Zone 4, it prefers cool shade and moist, well-drained soil. However, once it has found the proper niche in a sheltered spot in your garden, it forms quite the robust plant, the foliage of which adds a wondrous texture to the woodland garden throughout the season.
A rare variety, Glaucidium palmatum 'Alba' (var. leucanthemum) with its pristine, snowy-white blossoms, is especially striking, but harder to find.
– Allium zebdanense (Lebanon onion)
My favorite among the many ornamental onion species grown by gardeners worldwide is Allium zebdanense. Not because it's the tallest, or has the biggest globe, or is unusual in any outstanding way, but because it is an ideal plant for a dry, woodland shade setting with humus-rich soil.
Endemic to rocky mountainous spots of Lebanon and Syria, it is especially gorgeous when planted among hostas or under shrubs that are late to leaf out. Though partial to light shade – especially in the hot afternoons – the Lebanon onion will also perform splendidly in your sunny borders as well.
This gorgeous allium, growing to a height of 12 to 16 inches, blooms in late April to mid-May in charming, loose clusters of six to 10 small, glistening, immaculate milk-white flowers suspended on gracefully arching stems. The wiry stems and shiny chive-fine leaves slowly increase and grow into dense and compact, carex-like grassy clumps which are quite attractive in drifts throughout the woodland garden.
An ephemeral, the plant goes completely dormant within two or so weeks after the last bloom fades. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8.
– Dicentra spectabilis (Bleeding heart)
Over the years, much has been written about this rather common, though extremely popular spring-blooming plant -- and it remains this gardener's heart-throb to this very day.
A classic charmer, this old-fashioned plant growing to a height of 17 to 35 inches forms a bushy, upright mound of fleshy stems and powdery-green, somewhat ferny foliage in early spring.
It's easy to see where bleeding heart got its name. Dangling in a row on long, graceful, arching stems, the elegant, shade loving woodlander displays seductive chains of puffy rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers with protruding white tips in mid-to-late spring. D. s. 'Alba' is a white flowered form of the common bleeding heart, while D. s. 'Gold Heart' displays stunning golden-leaved foliage. All are irreplaceable perennials for the shady border.
Easily grown in average, well-drained soil in part to full shade, old-fashioned bleeding hearts usually go dormant sometime in late spring to early summer, so it is best to tuck them in among ferns and other plants to hide the empty spots. Hardy to Zones 2 to 9.
Next time, we'll examine a few more special plants.

Momentum is building for the Hood River Valley swim team.
The Eagles girls team placed sixth at the 5A state championships Saturday night at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, with Taylor Tyynismaa leading the way individually with fourth-place finishes in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle swims and anchoring a second-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay.
The Eagles' lone male representative, junior Connor Webb, took third in both the 200 yard IM and the 200-yard breaststroke.
The Eagles qualified the girls 200-yard medley relay and 400-yard freestyle relay for the finals, as well as getting Tyynismaa, Webb and Alyssa Walker through individually.
"I couldn't be happier," said HRV coach Keith Ebbert. "Everybody swam faster this week than they did last week."
In the 200 relay, the team of Danielle Miller, Kylie Webb, Tyynismaa and Walker got blazing legs from Walker and Tyynismaa in the second half of the race to overtake both Crescent Valley and Marshfield and take second place, finishing 2.61 seconds back of first-place Summit with a time of 1:54.75
The first race of the finals would prove to be the best performance by the Eagles on the night.
"The 200-meter relay was outstanding," Ebbert said.
Tyynismaa placed second in the 50 freestyle last year, but ran into a significantly faster field this time around. She took fourth, edging Jennifer Torney of Bend by one-hundredth of a second for the spot with a time of 25.41, dropping nine-tenths of a second from her preliminary time. Grace Carlson of Wilson won the event with a 23.62 All-American consideration time.
"This year state was faster than last year," Tyynismaa said. "So I'm just being able to get where I did."
She also took fourth in the 100-meter race, finishing in 55.28.
"It feels kind of cool," she said. "Because I'm swimming faster than last, so I know I have room to improve."
Tyynismaa hopes to continue swimming at the masters level and possibly collegiately.
Walker turned in a solid all-around meet of her own in her final trip to state, she finished fourth in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:13.83 and sixth in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1:00.44.
"She knocked down something like six seconds from district," said Ebbert.
Webb was again the only HRV male swimmer competing at the meet, but several of his teammates came close to qualifying this year, and a relay alternate team made the trip as well.
In the 200 IM he finished cleanly in third with a time of 1:55.76, while Carlos Hunnicutt of Springfield won the event with a 5A record time of 1:53.08.
He again took third behind a record-setter in the 100 breaststroke. Cameron Lindsey of North Eugene set a 5A record with a 59.09 to win the event. Webb meanwhile edged Aiden Soles of Summit by .03 of a second to take third with a 1:01.61 time.
"Connor did great even though he wasn't tapered down," said Ebbert.
In the 400-yard freestyle relay the Eagles team of Walker, Kylie Webb, Kayla Schilling and Tyynismaa could not keep up with the pace set by Summit, Sherwood and Bend early and finished well back in sixth place. However, a disqualification of fifth-place finisher Crescent Valley allowed them to move up one spot on the podium after posting a time of 3:48.30, .35 of a second faster than their preliminary time.
In Friday's preliminary heats, Kylie Webb swam a 2:19.76 in the 200 IM to finish ninth. She finished 10th in the 100 breaststroke with a time 1:13.86. Danielle Miller finished 12th in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:44.16. Miller finished 11th in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:04.57. The 200 yard freestyle relay team of Schilling, Caitlyn Fick, Rebekah Galvez and Miller finished 12th with a time of 1:49.89.
All told the Eagle girls scored 24 points to finish in sixth out of 17 teams.
Ebbert is hopeful that the Eagles will have even bigger numbers next year. Of the eight swimmers at state, six will be returning to the team next year.
"Before the season is over we'll nominate new captains for next year," Ebbert said. "They'll be a driver for next year, to get new talent, new recruits and to continue this culture that has developed."

Sock-eating dog
Our Golden Retriever has a habit of seeking out our socks and chewing them up. I scold her whenever I catch her doing it, but she just can't seem to break the habit. They are irresisitible to her! She'll even go and get the same sock I took away from her 5 seconds before. I think it's an addiction!
We tried getting laundry hampers that were taller so she wouldn't be able to get into them, but she just pulls them over, steals some socks and makes a run for it. Sometimes she brings them to us to show us what she's got, and other times she hides with them and chews them to pieces. I'm getting tired of scolding her with no results. Any suggestions?
Best regards,
I have a couple of friends with a Cocker Spaniel who did that, they just could not break her of the habit. One day she managed to swallow one and needed a $600.00 surgery to remove it or she would have died...now her people keep the laundry basket in a closet and just don't leave socks where she can find them. Socks were the only thing she "stole" - other laundry she left alone.
You could try spraying cayenne pepper sauce or Bitter Apple on every sock you "intentionally" leave lying around...that MIGHT work. Or you could get her some special designated objects, and try training her to bring those to you instead - but if she's like my friends' dog, she might just be too obsessive about the socks to easily break the habit, and the simplest thing is to get into the habit of keeping socks away....
Sometimes the path of least resistance is the easiest one!

Sock Problem...
First of all it is very important to keep the socks AWAY from the dog for her OWN saftey. As mentioned I know of MANY pups who have had to have surgury to remove pieces of sock that was blocking thier intestines or wrapped around something in there. Try finding a new place for the hamper like in a closet that is off-limits for her. You must make sure that socks ALWAYS get put in there and do not get left anywhere around the house. If you want to have a happy healthy dog then you are going to have to be committed to making changes to your life that work around having them.
I do not mean to sound so hard but I just hate to see people take on pets and not do what ever is neccesary to keep them safe. NOT that you are doing that. I can tell that this problem is really bothering you and you WANT it to stop.
I would suggest that if she brings you a sock give her a strong "NO" but nothing more aggressive than that. Also you may want to mix cyan-pepper and water and spray it on the outside of the laundry hamper. OR buy some of the "no-chew" sprays that they sell at the store and put it on the outside of the hamper if that is where she is getting the socks from.
When we got out youngest, it was the best day in my life b/c he likes to chew socks so that gave my husband a REASON to use the hamper instead of the floor his dirty clothes...

Ping has rolled out new Social Playlists that you can make to share with your friends and followers. Social Playlists allows you to compile a seemingly limitless list of songs available in the iTunes Store, for your followers to buy.
The page-layout is similar to any album you would find in iTunes, including the ability to rate and comment on playlists and a unique icon, made up of 4 of the albums in your playlist. You and your friends can also create a collaborative playlist, to easily share songs with each other. The playlists are also viewable but not editable on the iPhone/iPod touch in the 'Ping' section of the iTunes app, so you can buy songs directly from the device.
The Social Playlists are a great way to share songs that you may have bought from other sources like Amazon MP3 or ripped-CDs. Are you going to be using these new Social Playlists and do they make Ping any more compelling for you?

After watching some of Klein on youtube, I am a little surprised that he is being considered a likely late round QB. He has basically a lot of the same qualities that made Brock Osweiler a 2nd round pick last year.
Klein "pushes" the ball when he throws it and doesn't show a ton of arm strength. He has a funky delivery too although many QBs in recent years have shown that if your delivery is fast enough, then it's doesn't matter as much what it looks like. Klein gets the ball out fast enough.
The thing I noticed about Klein though is that he rarely steps into throws. If he did, it would improve his velocity. Ask any pitcher and they'd tell you that lower and middle body muscles are the real force behind their 95 mph fastball. If his arm strength improves and he learns to sell a pump fake better, he would actually be a fairly complete QB- basically like a more consistent Osweiler. And for a guy that has such a fixable looking throwing problem, I was surprised to see that his footwork was actually pretty good. Good footwork is typically more uncommon in college than good throwing mechanics.
I'm not really a huge fan of Klein per se, but when I watch him I don't see why he should be any lower than Tyler Bray or Landry Jones on anyone's draft board.
Finding non-highlight footage of him from this year wasn't easy either (I only found his game from Kansas earlier this year)- indicating that most people just don't consider him to be much of a factor on draft day. I did find this gem though:
Again, I'm not advocating for Klein, I just think it's curious how one fixable flaw could cause Klein to be a late rounder instead of a 2nd rounder. Could this be a case like last year where draftniks are really underestimating his draft stock, as they did for Martin and Tannehill last year?

Today, I felt it. It. It being that feeling that all cylinders are firing. It being that feeling I'm supposed to be having right now a handful of days away from a marathon; like a bull ready to break out of the gate and fling the cowboy on his back to the moon. It being that I'm ready to simply kick some ass. Faster and longer would have been no problem. No problem at all.
It's a better late than never situation, but I feel like it's legit. While the training cycle might not have gone as smoothly as I'd like due to circumstances beyond my control, the hay is indeed in the barn. Let's do this.

England put in a spirited performance to deny the Boks a series whitewash as the two sides played out a 14-14 draw in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
Owen Farrell did have a chance to snatch victory for the visitors but missed terribly to the left with a drop-goal from 35 metres out as the June series ended 2-0 to the side wearing green and gold.
But there were plenty of positives for England to take home as this was a much-improved effort against a team that went backwards from Jo'burg. One being Thomas Waldrom, Tom Johnson and Danny Care's performances on the tour finale.
It was evident that England were fired up for this final Test as they looked to salvage something from what has been a tough and physical June. They managed to transfer that fire into points too early on as good phase play led to Toby Flood opening the scoring from the tee on two minutes.
Morne Steyn did respond five minutes later when England infringed at a ruck before the visitors illustrated their intent at the other end soon after. Care was the main man making the noise in his comeback game on the Test stage as he chose to tap a penalty quickly and burrowed over from close range. Care's decision was a bold statement but one that paid off as England continued to keep the passionate supporters at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium quiet.
Flood missed the extras and that proved to be his last act of the game on twelve minutes as he struggled to shake off a niggling issue. England's loss of their fly-half was cushioned by the fact the tourists had started much better than last week, assuming an 8-3 advantage.
However, they would not score again in the first-half as when lock Tom Palmer slowed down possession at a ruck, Steyn stepped up to bring the Boks back to within one point. He would strike again on 28 minutes when Stuart Lancaster's outfit was caught offside to begin a long spell of home attacks. England stood firm though and it was clear their steeliness was causing frustration to their hosts, who were missing Willem Alberts and Frans Steyn.
Lancaster would have been pleased with the pride being shown by his players in their last game of the season, but maybe not with Dylan Hartley six minutes after Owen Farrell had pushed England back in front from the tee. Hartley was carded for slowing down the play.
Those ten minutes approaching the hour mark were always going to be critical in the game but it was to be once Hartley returned that South Africa had their moment. Following a series of runners testing the English defensive line five metres out, Ruan Pienaar moved the ball out where JP Pietersen was waiting to dive over for back-to-back tries in this series. Steyn missed the conversion which meant the scoreline was 14-11 with fifteen minutes to go.
Farrell did tie things up to set up a nail-biting finish which saw South Africa knock at the door before England survived and launched their own final throw of the dice for victory. However, Farrell's attempted match-winning drop-goal with the last kick of the game failed miserably.
Man-of-the-match: Mentions for the work that Gio Aplon, Marcell Coetzee and Tom Johnson got through, but England's Danny Care announced his return to the Test scene with a fine 80-minute effort. He was busy and most definitely got the better of Francois Hougaard.
Moment-of-the-match: It may seem harsh to single out a player but England lost something when Toby Flood was forced off with an injury. Owen Farrell kicked too much and thus cut down the threat the visitors had posed early on, which saw them score eight points.
Villain-of-the-match: The disappointing result for South Africa. How dare they take down the mood on absent Springbok centre Francois Steyn's big wedding day. A toast to 2-0?
The scorers:
For South Africa:
Try: Pietersen
Pen: Steyn 3
For England:
Tries: Care
Pen: Flood, Farrell 2

Taylor Swift Not Cast in 'Les Miserables' After All
No 'Les Miz' for Taylor Swift. After rampant rumors that the pop/country superstar would be playing Eponine in the upcoming big screen version of the musical 'Les Miserables,' producers have announced that British actress (and somewhat of an unknown in Hollywood) Samantha Barks would be playing the part instead. No big screen musical adaptations for Taylor Swift … Yet.
The long, blond tendrilled Swift and the dark-haired Brit Barks couldn't be more different! It's not known if Swift was truly in contention for the role or if she was offered it and passed. Barks, however, has plenty of previous history with Eponine, as she portrayed the character in a West End production. She also played the role in the 25th Anniversary Concert filmed at the O2.
According to Broadway World, Cameron Mackintosh announced the news live on stage last night (Jan. 31) after Barks' performance in 'Oliver!' She plays Nancy.
Congrats to Barks on nabbing the role. We're sure that Swift will be offered other parts in the future.

First, the bad news... you get hideously fat and devoted to your work.
Next, the good news... your wife gets pregnant because you were not out crawling around on rocks risking life and limb, and, errr, not to mention the family jewels.
Dear lads from SP... I can't tell anyone else under penalty of castration. Even the family doesn't know yet. It seems that we must wait until the 1st trimester is over before we tell anyone that I'm going to be a daddy. That date is September 8th so... SHHHHHH... don't tell anyone else you know. I'm as happy as a clam even if I'm forced to read a book called "What to Expect When You're Expecting."
Good luck to you all. God I miss the cliffs but wouldn't change it for anything.

Harnett to Give LaFollette Lecture• October 16, 2012 Share:
Jeremy Hartnett, Associate Professor of Classics and department chair at Wabash College, will present the 33rd Annual LaFollette Lecture on Friday, October 19 at 4:15 p.m. in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center. Dr. Hartnett's lecture title is "Faces Past: Ancient Imaginations and the Craft of Social History."
The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities, broadly conceived.
Professor Hartnett began teaching at Wabash in 2004 after graduate work at the University of Michigan and a post-doc year at Oberlin College. A specialist in Roman archaeology and social history, he studies (and frequently leads students to) sites around the Bay of Naples, most notably Pompeii and Herculaneum. Hartnett's current book project concentrates on daily life in these cities, especially as it unfolded on their streets. A New Directions Grant from the GLCA has allowed him to study Roman street life in a broader cross-cultural context by examining public urban space in Aztec and contemporary Mexico, Renaissance Florence, pre-industrial China, and modern India. During the 2008-09 academic year Hartnett taught at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome; he now serves on the Centro's managing committee and is an annual lecturer for the Archaeological Institute of America.
The lecture is free and open to the public; a reception will follow his talk.

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan on Tuesday conducted a successful test launch of its Hatf III/Vengeance III Ghaznavi
24th Apr 2014
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan on Tuesday conducted a successful test launch of its Hatf III/Vengeance III Ghaznavi short-range ballistic missile as it continues to strengthen its deterrent capabilities against archrival India.
A statement by the Pakistan military's Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) stated that a "successful training launch" had been carried out of the 290-kilometer-range Ghaznavi, which is capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads.
Ghaznavi is a solid-fueled, single-stage missile possibly deriving some of its technology from the Chinese M-11/CSS-7.
A missile test had been expected since last week by analysts.
Though ISPT did not state the location of Tuesday's test, analysts said it was most likely conducted at the Sonmiani Ranges.
According to the ISPR statement, "The successful launch concluded the Field Training Exercise of Strategic Missile Group of Army Strategic Forces Command."
It also stated the test launch had been witnessed by a number of military and civilian officials, including Gen. Rashad Mahmood, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee; Lt. Gen. Zubair Mahmood Hayat, director of the General Strategic Plans Division; Lt. Gen. Obaid Ullah Khan, commander of Army Strategic Forces Command; and the chairman of the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), Muhammad Irfan Burney.
NESCOM is responsible for the design and production of a number of weapon and defense systems, including missiles.
Mahmood "expressed his satisfaction over the training goals achieved during the exercise and expected that the officers and men entrusted with the task of deterring aggression would continue to maintain professional excellence."
Brian Cloughley, a former Australian defense attache to Islamabad, said the launch is a "routine test," but an indication of continued preparation for a conventional war.
"The ongoing concentration on short-range and battlefield missile systems is interesting, because it shows that [Pakistan's] Army continues to prepare for the land battle, and obviously believes that the Indians have not in any way modified the short, sharp-thrust policy, the so-called 'Cold Start' concept," he said.
Similarly, Mansoor Ahmed, from Quaid-e-Azam University's Department of Defence and Strategic Studies, who specializes in Pakistan's national deterrent and delivery program, said the test was a "routine training exercise designed to test operational readiness, procedures and integration of this short-range ballistic missile system" under the Armed Forces Strategic Command.
"This test underscores Pakistan's continued emphasis on achieving greater effectiveness of counterforce targeting potential of its strategic forces as part of the country's operational-level strategic capability," he added.
The ongoing development and testing of Pakistan's short-range ballistic missile arsenal is partially to match India's own efforts in this area, Ahmed said.
"Ghaznavi is Pakistan's response to India's ongoing R&D and improvement of short-range ballistic missile systems such as Prithvi [undergoing flight tests to improve its operational effectiveness], Prahaar and Pragati," he said.
"Ghaznavi's test appears to incorporate improved guidance, control and accuracy parameters in real-time conditions," Ahmed said.
However, Pakistan has a range of short-range missile systems, some with overlapping capabilities. In the case of Ghaznavi, though, Ahmed rates it as a flexible weapon system.
"Ghaznavi is aimed at improving Pakistan's readiness to deal with all kinds of counterforce attacks at the theater level during a crisis," he said.
"It is a dual-use system that can carry nuclear and conventional warheads, and would be a potent weapon to deter India from engaging in proactive military operations/Cold Start strategy below Pakistan's nuclear thresholds," he added.
Cloughley pointed out an obvious drawback to the use of Ghaznavi.
"Nuclear [surface-to-surface missiles] are designed specifically to destroy large armored formations, but of course, there would be dreadful collateral damage," he said.

Soup Night by Maggie Stuckey
Q: How do you get people to sit down together? A: Feed them dinner. Maggie Stuckey's latest book Soup Night is founded on this very principle: A community soup night to bring people together — not for any grand purpose, but just to share a meal with neighbors. With over 90 completely irresistible recipes for everything from creamy cauliflower soup to spicy taco soup, trust me: you'll want to share.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Maggie Stuckey
• Who published it: Storey Publishing
• Number of recipes: Over 90 — mostly soups, but some side dishes, breads, and desserts
• Recipes for right now: Sante Fe Sweet Potato and Chipotle Soup, Red Pozole, Creamy Chicken with Wild Rice Soup, Hot and Sour Soup, Nova Scotia Oatmeal Bread, Pumpkin Seed Flatbread, Lentil Soup with Bacon and Orzo, Winter Sausage Soup
• Other highlights: This is a modern-day community cookbook, truly. The recipes come from home cooks all over the country — tried-and-true recipes that emerged from their own community Soup Nights. But it's more than that. The pictures show tasty soups that make me want to grab a spoon, but they also show people gathered together: grinning neighbors walking down the street with soup bowls in hand, a long table with hands reaching for platters, and a cook ladling soup at her kitchen counter. My gut reaction is "I want to go to there!"
Hosting a soup night isn't hard — 1. Make soup, 2. Invite friends, 3. Eat soup — but Maggie Stuckey gives us lots of helpful tips on organizing our own gatherings and making sure the night is a success. (The baseline advice seems to be: relax, don't clean your house, have fun. I can get behind that.)
Let's talk about the book itself: It's organized seasonally, so turn to the Fall chapter for the kinds of flavors and ingredients you're craving right now. There are lots of old-familiars here, but many have their own twists. I can't wait to try Mussel Chowder (this being two of my favorite things) and I love the idea of Smoky Chicken Chili. Each chapter also profiles families and communities around the country who have their own Soup Night stories to share.
This is a fun book of soup recipes — a great resource for fellow soup-lovers out there — and it comes with a side dish of warm fuzzy feelings.
• Who would enjoy this book? Soup lovers, cooks who often prepare meals for large groups, anyone interested in starting their own Soup Night.

It's Time for Big Data to Deliver
The majority of major, global organizations are now fully immersed in big data projects. And CIOs who are helping lead these efforts are under pressure to perform: These initiatives are stretching into the eight-figure range in terms of budgeting, and corporate leaders fully expect ROI to cross the double-digit percentage range, according to a recent survey report from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Of course, many challenges exist. For starters, executives are facing difficulties in getting individual business units to share information outside of their own silos. And it's also tricky to determine which data to use for various business decisions, the report states. "Big data has enormous potential and early adopters are projecting a high ROI on investments," says Satya Ramaswamy, vice president and global head of mobility and next gen solutions for TCS. "However, overcoming the technological challenges is only part of the story. Businesses need to carefully think where big data initiatives should sit within the organization, and they must consider the potential cultural changes within to speed-up adoption." Executives from more than 1,200 global companies took part in the research.
Tech Focus The IT department is the focus of 11% of big data spending.

The 38-year-old actor was joined by his buddy and Django Unchained co-star Jonah Hill for the afternoon out. Anyone else find it ironic that Leo is going to the ICEBERGS club?!
Leo and Jonah recently worked together again on the upcoming flick The Wolf of Wall Street. They are also both recently single after splitting with their girlfriends in the fall.

|Kyle Whitmoyer led his Gettysburg team on a
comeback of 17 points last week and 23 points this past
Gettysburg photo by David Sinclair
Each week during the regular season we look at some of the key statistical performances from the weekend in Division III football, highlighting one per region.
After seven weeks, Carleton finally had another home game on its campus in Northfield, Minn., where Laird Stadium had been underwater after the nearby Cannon River flooded.
Unfortunately, St. John's was the visitor on Saturday, and the Johnnies rolled up 502 yards of total offense, were 12-of-16 on third-down conversions and a perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone in beating Carleton 31-13.
Gettysburg quarterback Kyle Whitmoyer had a hand in six touchdowns, including five through the air, in the Bullets' 61-50 come-from-behind win against Susquehanna. He completed 20 of 28 passes for a career-high 374 yards while also rushing 11 times for 70 yards with a score. Whitmoyer helped engineer a Bullet comeback from a 50-27 deficit in the final 18 minutes, throwing three consecutive touchdown passes to kick off a 34-0 game-ending run.
Wesley defensive end Chris Mayes had seven tackles, five solo, with four tackles for a loss, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the Route 13 Rivalry win against Salisbury. He helped spearhead a defense that held the second rated rushing attack in Division III to 164 yards, 279 under its average) and two runners in the top 12 statistically were held to 17 yards combined on 35 carries.
The Greenville offensive line (with starters David Butler, Andrew Story, Tim Burroughs, Steven Schultz, and Jeremy Burrows) blocked for six running backs who had carries of more than 20 yards, including runs of 64, 65 and 81 yards in a 51-20 win against Crown.

Before Tupperware: Shaker Oval Boxes
Have you ever seen the oval wood boxes traditionally handcrafted by Shakers? You may never guess it from the looks of these beautiful artifacts, but their primary use was once food storage.
On a visit to Hancock Shaker Village years ago, I learned that the traditional oval boxes were made for storing foods in the pantry. The woodworking was done to such a precise degree that the lids fit tightly onto the containers, sealing the contents from exposure to insects and humid air. When lifting a lid off of a well-made Shaker oval box, you can actually feel a suction between the pieces.
Today, the boxes are collected as beautiful art objects or to store non-food household items. But I love to remind myself when viewing them that they were once the Tupperware of their time.

Well. Long time no see.
After my last post ten million years ago, I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking I'd completely given up on blogging this experience because I'm so miserable. Not the case. What really happened was I decided to give myself some time to process this experience (the good and the bad) without the added pressure of analyzing it for anyone who might care to read. A good choice, as it turns out. The last few months have been amazing. Not perfect, because that's unrealistic in any situation, but I finally feel like I belong here.
I've spent this time becoming truly close to my friends here (both Spanish and foreign) and doing what I can to soak up the last of my time. It's weird to realize just how little of that I have left – just the other night, my friend Juan asked me when I was going home.
"June twenty-second," I answered, "so not for a while."
"Isn't that, like, two months from now?"
Um. Yes. Yes, it is.
It took Juan saying that number for me to really get it: this is going to end. I'm going to go home and chow down at Irving Street Kitchen with my mom, hang out with my sister at the barn, beg my dad to run to the store for more Diet Coke. I'm going to drive down to Eugene and see everyone at Triple Rise, move in with my new roommates, take classes. In English. I can't even imagine.
So I'm choosing not to. This week was Feria, the event I've most been looking forward to my whole time here in Sevilla. I could try to explain it to you in words, throw in a few inadequate still images in a feeble attempt to illustrate the atmosphere, but I decided I'd try something a little different: I made a movie! The camerawork isn't the best – no tripod + endless booze and dancing = shaky hands. But I can't help but smile while I watch it. Special thanks to Naomi, Alvaro, Marisa, Jose, Clara, Maria, Erika, and Greer for appearing – you look faaaabulous. And to the rest of you, I hope you like it!
