This is totally a shot in the dark, but I've looked everywhere, and cannot find the gadget I am looking for, so I'm hoping someone here knows/remembers what I'm talking about.3-4 years ago or so, I found a link on a thread in these forums about a new handheld electronic inflator pump for use with ground pads, such as the Downmat. The gadget was new to the market, but did have its own website, which had pictures of it. It was small (palm-sized I believe), yellow, and looked a bit like a jet engine. And I believe in the marketing material, they even mentioned that they somehow innovated or were inspired by jet-engine technology to be able to make a device that small with enough power to still inflate a ground pad.I lost the link and the thread, and I've been trying to find it again for years. Anyone remember what I'm talking about or know the gadget?
it may have been camptek, the product is also now sold be thermarest for the neo. it won't fit the exped valve but retrofiting a tr replacement valve is really easy.
Yes! That is it exactly!!! Thank you SO much!The picture on their website looks like it will still work for my Downmats. I'd have to check. But my mats are circa 2006-2007, so they have the external nozzles (one on each side).Anyone have experience with these? Like them, don't?
I only have experience with exped flat valves, they are ok but the filling methods are not great in my view.I have used the camptek on neos, my modified exped ul, and poe thermo 6. I won't own an air pad that this won't fit or be made to fit. Lithium batteries last a long time in it too.
You could look at the Instaflator.No batteries, i cut about 1/3rd off mine , takes 2-3 loads for a 7cm mat.(I only use it at home...)http://flyweightdesigns.com/?product=the-instaflator
Great little device. Unlike the instaflator you can do something else while your pad is blowing up. Also better if raining, since you can't be in the tent with an instaflator as easily.
Has anyone tried the TAR model? It looks exactly the same as the Camptek version, but it can be had for $31 on Amazon.I will likely pick one or the other up sometime. I figure it would be of some assistance to wood fires, and like Ken says, it's easier to use inside a shelter. I also have an instaflator and it does the job, but these battery powered ones seem like a nice option...
They are the same. Just that TAR had them rebranded for themselves to sell.
Thats what I figured... thanks.
Flipping LOVE my Microburst!!I have a TaR XTherm, size large, that is just a monster to inflate... the Microburst is a MUST have for these large four-season pads!The Microburst will inflate the XTherm Large about 85% of the way, so I still (sadly) have to breath in three or four breaths (suppose I could use the stuff sack inflator that comes with it) but three or four breaths of moisture going into the XTherm is a hell of a lot better than 30 or 40 breaths.Soooo totally worth the weight of it - and be sure to use Energizer Advanced Lithium batteries for the winter season!
Thanks, folks! I'm going to get one. I figure, I'd probably still pack my pillow inflator as a back up for dead batteries in the Microburst, and for the fact that I like to use it to place between my knees (side sleeper with boney knees). So if it wouldn't fully inflate the Downmat, I'd be very pleased for it to just get it most of the way there, and then use the pillow to top it off...Somewhat unrelatedly, I contacted Exped yesterday to ask what the best way to repair my Downmats would be - e.g., did they have a repair department that would do it, etc. 2 of the pads nozzles have fallen out, and 1 or 2 of my others seem to have slow leaks. "Sure," they said. "Send them to us. That's your only expense - we cover the cost of the repairs and of shipping them back to you." BONUS! Super excited, since I was thinking I'd have to figure out how to repair them myself...
On those trips where I know I can't hang and need my NeoAir, the Microburst is definitely in my pack. Pretty cool and reliable little device.

I also love mine. When I first used it I thought it was taking way to long to fill my BA IAC. I didn't remember it taking that long at home and was concerned that the altitude was affecting it (I was at 8k feet or so). I finally realized that I had the wide BA IAC with me! I need to get that back to the buddy I borrowed it from for car camping once. Don't want to make that mistake again! And it did fill it up just fine, but certainly took longer. ;)
Won't work for the Exped, but for pads with nozzles, like the TAR's, I'll just use my pack liner, like I proposed over here.
Just wanted to follow up and let people know that my Microburst arrived, and it DOES work with my older Downmats. There is a flexible "rubbery" piece that pulls out (presumably to attach the other fit-pieces so that it can adapt to various styles of inflation valves), and that little rubbery piece will fit over the nozzle just fine and inflate the pad.I am not able to get it to inflate it to "firm", so I do finish off with my pillow pump. But I typically have that with me anyway to use as a pillow. Saves a lot of time and labor. Overall, I'm super, super happy with my purchase.Thanks again for helping me find this thing!
1. I've never heard a report of anyone getting mold or mildew in their Thermarest pads from breaths, if the pads were stored with the valve open. Have you?2. The idea that an "Ultralighter" needs a large-wide pad is pretty funny to me, BUT, I will concede that some people need them to sleep and enjoy the woods. The idea that you NEED a battery-powered brick in your bag to inflate it? now THAT's amusing.You guys are gonna become what you loathe if you're not careful...
Max, You're alright!
>> I've never heard a report of anyone getting mold or mildew in their Thermarest pads >> from breaths, if the pads were stored with the valve open. Have you?Yes. My husband had an older version of the Prolite 4 that was light orange so it was easy to see the black stuff inside. It was always stored flat with the valve open.
My schnozzle works just fine for inflation. Its the deflation that drives me crazy every morning. I looked around for a deflator, but found nothing. Apparently it is not as simple and reversing an inflator. I continue to seek. Edit: Mat is Exped UL DownMatDerrick
Edited by miku on 05/30/2014 10:17:47 MDT.
I'm a big, fat boy. I'm my own deflator!
An older prolite has foam in it, and is an entirely different animal from the modern iteration of the NeoAir. From Thermarest's Website:"Will moisture build-up and ruin my mattress if I blow into it?No. We have spent decades refining our coatings and fabrics to withstand such things and this assurance of lasting quality separates Therm-a-Rest mattresses from every other competitor. However, minimizing moisture is always a good idea. Always allow self-inflating mattresses to inflate on their own as much as possible, then just top them off with a few breaths at the end for added firmness. We also recommend storing your mattress unrolled and with the valve open. This keeps the foam core at maximum loft and allows any moisture build-up to evaporate slowly."This says two things to me.1. Newer NeoAir pads are designed to manage the moisture from your breath.2. If you get a mildewy mattress, Thermarest should replace it. As for easy deflation, open the valve before you get up. In one or two minutes, your bodyweight pushes all the air out.
Hauling an electric pad inflator is the antithesis of UL to me, not to mention the sustainability and ecological issues. If you need such stuff, it is time to take a closer look at your sleep system. The pillow or pack liner options seem better to me--- if you are using them anyway. All this fuss makes me like my old CCF pad even more: low cost, low weight, can't leak and great for rest stops too. I've taken a nap on a rocky river bank that would have shredded a Neo. To paraphrase the Governerator: yoo cannot be zee girlie man undt climb zee mountains!
But what if you are a lazy bastard and that's why you carry the pump?You can walk without polesYou can carry your gear in your arms, who need a pack?I have to blow up a large and regular neoair. I'm lazy. I want a pump. UL ethos? Meh. I'm on vacation. Plus I don't blow, I suck. Wait... They are synonyms I'm lost... Ok consider the pump my spare battery carrier and to make it multi- use I use it to inflate my pad, and to blow into my wife's ear when we are under the quilt. BAM! UL ethos up yer valve stem!Blow it out your instaflator. :)
Thanks for that! :^)
"But what if you are a lazy bastard and that's why you carry the pump? ... BAM! UL ethos up yer valve stem!"+1! I ..... uhhhhhh, think, anyway.....Edited to add: Not to mention - carry some of those little umbrella thingies, put it in your filtered water with a bit of crystal light, lean back with your sunglasses on and your eyes closed, take your shoes and socks off, turn the inflator on and toward you, and BAM! You're in Cabo!
Edited by idester on 05/30/2014 13:51:30 MDT.
"turn the inflator on and toward you, and BAM! You're in Cabo!"Portable sea breeze, baby!
Deflator !!!Use a battery operated vacuum cleaner with a nozzle adaptor.You will find a purpose made type at the largest REI outlets.Some of the guys that don't grasp the idea of unnecessary complicated,like me , just undo the nozzle whilst on top of the mat.I do that mostly so that I don't turn around and fall asleep again.

I bought these a while ago, they were so comfortable I bought another pair for my mom! Incredibly easy to walk in, and the fit is just right.
2 years ago
I bought these shoes a few months ago. They are really comfortable, and the wide, stacked heel is cute. The ankle is really wide, which looks weird. Also, the fringes are more stiff than I would have liked. Overall I like them- they're funky and unique but a little clunky.

In all my 24 seasons as a professional cricketer I don't think I have ever seen a county team like the one we've had at Surrey this season.
We are a big club, with big expectations, but never before in my own experience has a first-class team taken to the field with so many young and – let's be frank – unknown players in their ranks.
With Usman Afzaal out of the team due to form, with Andre Nel injured and with Michael Brown unfortunately unable to shake off a chronic arm injury which now needs an operation and has cost him a whole season, the current Surrey team is incredibly inexperienced.
Of course, a number of players were deliberately moved on last year as part of Chris Adams's strategy to revitalise Surrey, and in many areas – especially in terms of our one-day cricket – there have been real signs of progress this summer.
At the time of writing, however, in the current County Championship match at Leicestershire, I have found myself playing in the most inexperienced and youthful team I have ever been a part of. Only Gareth Batty, Chris Tremlett and myself could be described as senior players, although Steven Davies is an exceptional young player who has already attracted the interest of the England selectors.
Tremlett, in particular, has bowled magnificently this season and, when Nel was fit, we were really looking like we had a bowling unit to take us forward with Batty's off-spin and the youthful pace of both Jade Dernbach and Stuart Meaker to add to the mix.
Our young batsmen prepare very well and very thoroughly for the challenge of trying to make their way as professionals, but it is very difficult for them. A lot of them have yet to play 15 first-class matches, and yet they are being thrown in to a team with only myself and Steve Davies as what you would call established batsmen at this level. The number of first-class hundreds in the team – apart from myself, of course – illustrate the level of inexperience.
When I came into the Middlesex team as a young player I was batted down at number six. I had established Test batsmen, and great players, coming in above me, and I was able to make my mistakes and learn from them with the comforting knowledge that others were there to make the big scores when they were needed and to win matches. In other words, I was allowed time to grow even in a hard school like the Middlesex dressing room of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Now, I find myself in a Surrey team with hardly another capped player around me and for someone like me – someone who believes, in cricket, that experience is very important – that is a big challenge for me to embrace.
But I am also welcoming the added responsibility and it was nice for me not only to score 179 on the first day of this current game at Leicester, my 113th first-class hundred, but also to see Gary Wilson put together a top-class and very mature century at the other end as we built a big first innings total.
I am trying my very best to provide the leadership on the field – and also, if asked, off the field with advice and help – that Surrey needs from me, but I will also be honest and say that I have always enjoyed winning. I was hoping that we would be challenging for promotion from Division Two of the Championship this season and not still scrapping it out near the bottom.
As I write, though, we are still in with a shout of qualification for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals and I think that is because a lot of our younger players are naturally far more comfortable at the moment in one-day cricket.
In the longer game, you need to piece together an innings and you need to know when to attack and when to defend, when to absorb pressure as a batsman, and how to build an innings with all its ebbs and flows. You need to learn to hit in the 'V', especially early on, and the value of playing the ball late.
Again, in my own early days, I was helped enormously by the example of players like Mike Gatting and Desmond Haynes. Everyone at Middlesex used to talk cricket in the evenings, and I'd hang on every word they said about how to play different bowlers in different conditions.
If I can finish with a footballing analogy, I found myself driving home from watching Arsenal beat Blackpool 6-0 last weekend and listening on the car radio to the start of the Wigan v Chelsea game, in which the commentator was full of praise for the way Wigan started. They were giving Chelsea a lot to think about early on.
Well, the final result there was also 6-0 – to Chelsea. Like an old experienced batsman, they had weathered the storm early on and then had been totally ruthless in asserting their authority later in the game.
Arsenal, of course, are a very young team and – against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in recent seasons – they have struggled badly. Like a young batsman, they had found it so much easier to flourish against a lesser light like Blackpool.

So the Chargers finally won a close game, it took half a season, but the bolts were finally able to hold on for a close game. This definitely was not the best game the bolts(or Philip Rivers) have played all season, but a win is a win and us chargers fans will gladly take it. Here are my thoughts on today's win:
Everybody has a bad day, and today rivers had his. He threw two very dumb interceptions and also made alot of innaccurate throws, he just didnt look like his usual self. But he played well late and was able to make two much needed touchdown throws and once again rallied our team. Malcom Floyd is continuing to play very well lately and may very well be our best receiving option right now, Vincent Jackson is also playing well but he drops the occasional ball he should catch. A really encouraging part of this game was the play of LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates, who both once again played well and look like they are near 100%. Overall the offense played well but they really need to do better in the red zone and punch in some tds.
This was a pretty good day for the defense, played same as usual in the first half but then really stepped it up in the second half. they seemed to be playing with real intensity, I dont know if that was ron riveras doing or what but I hope their passionate play continues. The first half the Chiefs pretty much had their way with us when it came to the passing game and the bolts did not look good defensively, but then they stepped it up in the second half and really played well. The bolts caused three straight three and outs and played how they should have been playing all season. Lets hope that this is how the chargers defense starts playing under the helm of ron rivera.
Overall it was a pretty good game by the chargers, we should have won by more if it wasnt for that stupid pass interference call against Clinton Hart late in the game. Hopefully the chargers kick it into a new gear next week against the strong Steelers.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Dick's Pizza to open late April on Milwaukee St.

miltownfreak---If you'd like to add your two-cents, atleast have the common sense to spell Parlor correctly... Spell it with me now...P-A-R-L-O-R... That's how they spell it...
Sounds like a great addition to downtown. Too bad this public employee has cut all restaurant spending.
And Burger King is a ripoff of Mcdonalds because they both make burgers. Pick n' Save ripped of Sentry because they both sell food.
Interestingly enough, the Parlor (sic) in Phoenix doesn't even offer "Coal-fired Pizza" ... they offer "Wood Fire Pizza", not even close to being the same thing ... anyway, is there only allowed to be ONE restaurant in the world that makes something the same way? If that were so, how many million hamburger places would have to close? How stupid are you, anyway, miltownfreak?
Grimaldi's is the coal fired pizza in Phoenix (Scottsdale) and that is a "rip off" of Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, which didn't pay its rent for several months.
Anyway, coal oven cooked pizza is great. Wood is fine too, the real key is a ultra hot oven, at least 800 degrees, as high as 1000 degrees. This is how you get a crisp crust, but chewy inside....
Face it there are so many ways to make pizza, they don't all have to be the same. NY Pizza, in most cases, is nothing like the "original" from Naples. Still, it works.
Nice educated comments from the peanut gallery. These coming from the same people who think Milwaukee is somehow original in anything. Milwaukee is now and always will be a brat, burger and below average steak town. Go back to eating that crap and drinking your American Lite beer and getting fatter (if that's even possible). I will be reading a book, exercising and enjoying a nice glass of wine. This town disgusts me.
must be some pizza... $14 for a 12-inch??? wait, don't tell me.... that's for cheese & they'll be charging per topping from there. milwaukee street sounds like a good choice of location for this establishment. any number of places to choose from where you can wash your pizza down with a $10 beer!
miltownfreak, why don't you do yourself (and everyone in Milwaukee) a favor and MOVE AWAY?! If you hate it here so much, get the F out!
I couldn't agree more with you miltownfreak. To pretend that this city has vibrate cuisine is not only ignorant, it's laughable. This is an uneducated blue collar town with no arts, music, or food scene. To watch people think or pretend different is indeed laughable.
Dick's "private" opening party on Friday 5-6-2011 served no samples of pizza. WHAT ???? Also no website up and running yet either. Attempted to contact them to see if they indeed are or will be open for lunch, no answer, no voice mail message giving hours of operation, etc. POOR WAY TO START in my opinion. A website should have been up and running WEEKS before they open the doors. These guys should know better......

No one has ever accused Rick Santorum of being coy. The former Pennsylvania Representative and two-term Senator has built a reputation for being outspoken and unapologetic, a political point man for opinions that have become politically incorrect.
Born in 1958, he early became known as feisty and opinionated. In high school, he earned the nickname "Rooster," in part because of hair that refused to stay combed, and in part because "he was dogged and determined like a rooster and never backed down," according to an online June 2006 write-up by U.S. News & World Report.
Santorum got his first taste of politics as a junior at Penn State University, where he volunteered for Republican Senator John Heinz's campaign in order to fulfill a requirement for a political science course.

Contemporary Round Roof Summer Houses by Architect Mats Fahlander
By Inthralld on Jun 14, 2012
Surrounding by nothing but beautiful landscape is the newly designed Summer Houses residence by the Swedish architect Mats Fahlender.
The home is located near Lysekil, in Slavik, Sweden. What the stunning home lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in character. The round roof home features an all glass wall that completely opens up to expose the living space to the exterior elements, and also allows residents to fully enjoy the incredible views this home has to offer. The entire interior from floor to ceilings is covered in paneled wood work, providing a natural feeling to the dwelling.

The Nazi Hydra in America: Suppressed History of a Century
The Justice Department report, describing what it calls "the government's collaboration with persecutors," says that O.S.I investigators learned that some of the Nazis "were indeed knowingly granted entry" to the United States, even though government officials were aware of their pasts. "America, which prided itself on being a safe haven for the persecuted, became — in some small measure — a safe haven for persecutors as well," – New York Times
The New York Times obtained the full 600-page Justice Department, report without the many redactions, on Operation Paperclip and has reported about it on November 13 calling the most damning aspect of it the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement with Nazis brought into the US.
The strong Nazi history in the United States has been suppressed until the NYT report that states, "Scholars and previous government reports had acknowledged the C.I.A.'s use of Nazis for postwar intelligence purposes. But this report goes further in documenting the level of American complicity and deception in such operations."
The report names some of the most infamous Nazi scientists and doctor responsible for the Jewish holocaust and then brought to the US: Dr. Josef Mengele, the so-called Angel of Death at Auschwitz, Arthur L. Rudolph, and Otto Von Bolschwing, "an associate of Adolph Eichmann who had helped develop the initial plans "to purge Germany of the Jews" and who later worked for the C.I.A."
The NYT report reveals that only some 300 of the 10,000 Nazis brought into the US were ever deported and that the "Justice Department itself sometimes concealed what American officials knew about Nazis in this country…"
Fresh food that lasts from eFoodsDirect (AD)
Despite the long suppression of the Nazi infuence on Americans and the Obama administration's attempts to keep the report from he public, because of determination of the late Mark Richard, a senior Justice Department lawyer, this major part of US history is now revealed.
NYT reports that in 1999, Richard convinced Attorney General Janet Reno to begin a detailed look at the US Nazi history, assigned career prosecutor, Judith Feigin, to the job and he edited the final version in 2006. He "urged senior officials to make it public but was rebuffed, colleagues said."
"When Mr. Richard became ill with cancer, he told a gathering of friends and family that the report's publication was one of three things he hoped to see before he died, the colleagues said. He died in June 2009, and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. spoke at his funeral.

Topic: Stacking a fondant cake.
Teresa0401 03/17/2010 12:03 PM
I have a four tier fondant cake coming up. I have stack BC, but this will be my first with fondant. I usually stack at the bakery with the dowel going through the middle, and I cut my dowels/straw about an 1/4 inch shorter so I can level out a slight hole to set the next cake into. My question is do any of you do this using fondant? I like this method for the extra support it gives. I was just sitting here thinking if I used this method with fondant, I will have to level out my BC and dowels, then cover with the fondant to create the hole before adding the next layer. I know some of you stack on site, but that is not feasible for me. This cake will travel 30 miles away and for what I get for the cake I will not travel to the site. Most of my customers don't want to pay the extra $25.00 to $40 to delivery, But for this size cake I might insist on delivery or just add in the delivery. This cake will be a 14, 10, 8, 6 X 4. Do you think this is necassery to do creating the hole for the cakes to rest in? I just want my cakes to stay straight, no lean or fall. I have not invested in a locking system and really don't see that in the budget. How many of you use some type of locking system and how many still use dowel/straws to stack? I would really like to hear from those of you that don't set up on site, what problems do you have? Thanks for you help.

I've heard about that method before. It's sort of creating a "cradle" for the next tier to sit in. But I have never used taht method myself. I just cut my dowel right near the top of the iced cake tier, and then cut the rest of dowels same length as the first. I don't know if I would dare to let customers go with a 5 tier pre-stacked cake though. I only let them go with 3 tier pre-stacked and OC instructions on how to drive. So far so good. ;-) With fondant cakes I don't do anything different as far as dowels go than I do with BC cakes. So I think taht maybe you will need to carve out that pit in the cake before you apply fondant to the tier. Then insert your dowels taht will be flash with the pit, but lower tahn outer edges of the cake, since you like that method. And then proceed stacking your tiers like that. (When they make topsy-turvy cakes -- they cut out a hole in the lower tier for the top tier to nestle in. Then they apply fondant to the layer).
If I am wrong -- someone will correct me shortly. ;-) But I think it would work. Only I do squirt some BC on lower tiers on top of fondant in the spot where next tier will sit, so it's like glue. I pipe out a few lines.
Hope it helps.

Is there a problem with the .dmg or could I have done something wrong?

I don't know how the stackless installer was build, but I do know that there are issues building the CPython installer on OSX 10.6 that can result in the problem you're seeing. I'm very close to committing a fix for that to the CPython trunk and will port that to the other CPython branches. I expect that stackless will pick that up when they pull from the CPython repository again.

COPENHAGEN — Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said yesterday that the furor over cartoons of the prophet Muhammad had "strengthened our resolve for the long haul" and that Danish troops would remain in Iraq.
In an interview with The Washington Times in his Copenhagen office, Mr. Rasmussen brushed off a Danish television report of plans to cut Denmark's 530-man deployment in Iraq by nearly one-fifth in July.
"It is clearly our intention to stay in Iraq as long as we are requested by the Iraqi government, as long as our presence is based on a U.N. mandate, and as long as we believe we can make a positive difference on the ground," the center-right Danish leader said.
Mr. Rasmussen and his conservative coalition, which includes the Danish People's Party, faced heavy criticism for their initial response to global Muslim riots in February, which were prompted by the publication four months earlier of editorial cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.
But the most recent polls show that conservative parties have benefited from the controversy.
"This cartoon affair will not change our basic policies. On the contrary, it has only strengthened our resolve to assist countries that are in the midst of very difficult social transformations," Mr. Rasmussen said yesterday.
Mr. Rasmussen, who is facing calls from the country's center-left opposition to withdraw from Iraq entirely, did not exclude "technical adjustments" to Denmark's troop levels when the government seeks a new mandate for the current deployment expiring July 1.
He noted that the U.S. and British military are also adjusting their military strength in Iraq as the political situation evolves.
"But I want to make it clear that it is my intention and this government's intention to stay in Iraq and finish the job," he said.
The parliamentary vote on a new mandate for Denmark's Iraq mission will be the first since a wave of violence across the Muslim world targeted Danish embassies and businesses.
The Danish leader is expected to discuss the Iraq mission and Denmark's military missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo when he visits President Bush in Washington early next month.
Mr. Bush has invited Mr. Rasmussen and his wife to stay at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
U.S. Ambassador to Denmark James P. Cain said the Camp David invitation wasn't explicitly tied to Denmark's cartoon troubles, but reflected a broader convergence of U.S.-Danish relations and gratitude in Washington for the large contributions the small nation was making militarily and financially in the global war on terror.
The Danish government, he said, had resisted any temptation to use the cartoon difficulties as an excuse to pull away from its U.S. ties or its global commitments.
"I think if some of our other allies — France, Germany and Italy for example — could do on a pro rata basis what the Danes have done, let's just say the world might be a safer place than it is now," Mr. Cain said.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — When city of Albany IT Project Manager Cindy Tiernan was handed the city's new 311 program three years ago, she took an approach that, while not typical among government workers, has helped make the non-emergency information call program a success beyond city leaders' expectations.
Only a year and a half into her position with the city after a long career in the private sector, Tiernan sought to make the 311 program personal.
"As a former private business owner, I didn't have to deal very much with government, so I didn't really understand what was involved from their point of view," Tiernan said. "I had no idea who you'd need to call to get answers to your questions.
"When they told me the 311 program would be one of my projects, I looked at it the way a typical citizen would. I looked at it personally."
Three years in, Albany's 311 center has been recognized by influential Georgia Trend magazine as one of six Trendsetter programs in the state. It's six part-time operators are logging more than 30,000 calls a year, and a recent mobile app allows citizens on the go to contact the center on their smartphones.
But Assistant City Manager Wes Smith said the most meaningful plus of the non-emergency call program is what it has taken away.
"I can't stress how big an impact our 311 center is having on our 911 emergency call center," Smith, who was instrumental in setting up the 311 program, said. "There are about 1,000 calls a month — more than 30 calls a day — that are going to 311 now rather than 911. That's huge when you consider how important each second is in a real emergency."
Shortly after Tiernan and the city's IT department set up the 311 center, the program had Tricia Borsdorf "drop into our laps" as the program's supervisor.
"We'd interviewed five candidates who applied for the job, and Tricia was the last candidate to come before us," Smith said. "It just so happened her husband had transferred here, and she'd been laid off from a job with a national software company.
"She came in and blew us away. She was just what we needed."
Together Tiernan and Borsdorf have worked hand-in-hand to get the 311 call center up to speed and to incorporate the 311 concept onto the Web and make the smartphone mobile application available. As Tiernan explains it, the process is quite simple:
"A citizen simply dials 311 on his or her phone, specifies an area for a service request, tells us what the request is, and when we get all the pertinent details we input the information into our computer software," the IT project manager said. "As soon as we hang up, we hit save and the request automatically goes to the department responsible. The department assigns and does the work."
The process is just as simple — and can be accomplished 24 hours a day without the need for human contact — on a computer. After logging on (to 311answers.com or albany.ga.us), citizens may log into the 311 system or set up an account. They use prompts to tell what and where their concern is, respond to specific questions about the problem and may either attach photos or comments. Again the request is routed to an appropriate department.
If citizens want, they can have an email response sent to their account notifying them when work on their request is completed.
The smartphone app — which may be downloaded for free on Android or iPhones — allows citizens to request a service and automatically download photos they take with their phones.
"The reatcion we've generally gotten in the community is WOW!" Tiernan said. "It's gone over so well, in fact, we've had representatives from cities all over Georgia and the Southeast come to visit and see how our operation works. And I've visited Virginia, Washington, St. Louis, Huntsville, Ala., and other places to tell about our program.
"I guess the toughest obstacle we had with the program at first was getting city departments to buy in. They were reluctant to share their data. But most of them have come around. I've had several who were skeptical at first call me and say, 'This really works.'"
Smith, too, says early skepticism has all but disappeared.
"By working with the various departments, and letting them see the results of 311, everyone's recognized the value of the program," Smith said. "When department heads see that a process that used to take up a good portion of their time can now be accomplished in 30 seconds to a minute, their reaction is 'too cool.'"
Borsdorf's part-time operators, such as retired 32-year city of Albany employee Johnnie Carruthers, do not simply transfer calls to city officials, leaving callers at the mercy of personnel availability or initiating frustrating phone-tag issues. Instead, they make "warm transfers," making sure a department employee is on the line and ready to answer a question before transferring.
There are, however, lighter moments.
"I keep a record of some of the more interesting calls and send them out in our monthly newsletter," Borsdorf said. "Some of those calls this week included a call about four donkeys in the middle of the road (which was not a joke), a female caller wanting to know if what she'd heard about getting a discount if she bought a certain numbers of Budweisers was true, and a lady who called and said she was at her apartment complex but her body was elsewhere.
"That gives us a break from the abandonded vehicle, pothole and grafitti calls."
Roughly 65 percent of the 311 calls are city of Albany issues, while 35 percent involve the county. A number of them, though, have nothing to do with the city or county. Code Enforcement and Public Works are the departments that receive the most calls.
Albany City Manager James Taylor has become a believer in the city's 311 system. He warns city employees, though, that the bottom-up concept of the program should keep them on their toes.
"This has been a very efficient program, taken a lot of stress off our individual departments," Taylor said. "It has served the community well, and I've heard nothing but good comments.
"One thing that I like about the program is that once a request is put into our system, it's tracked. If it isn't taken care of, it keeps getting elevated up the chain until it gets done. There are a few calls that have made their way all the way up to my office. Our folks have learned not to like it when that happens."

http://www.antigravitygear.com/proddetail.php?prod=ALCBCSI used this stove briefly - over 5 days in the Idaho back country during the summer. the stove is incredibly light and simple to use. I found I needed to go to the second line inside the stove to get a good boil in my MSR titan kettle. I made a light windscreen from aluminum foil, which worked well. The stove lit easily and primed quickly for this type of stove. A pot cozy will help to cook pastas and such, but for quick boils and early morning coffee, it can't be beat.
Rating: 5 / 5
This was my first alcohol stove after the Trangia, which I used before these pepsi stoves were invented.Despite a taped seam build, this stove is very good, still doing great after 5 or more years. I more often use my open faced red bull stove for summer, as it's a better fit for my small snowpeak 20 oz. Ti bowl.Don't see how I can rate it below a 5.
The AGG pepsi stove is a suprisingly robust little unit. I can get a full boil on an MSR Ti-Kettle from the lower line.Alas, any alcohol stove is hard pressed to boil a lot of water. For small solo style trips, this is the best.
Great stove for solo/basic water boiling. One of the few UL gear items that costs virtually nothing if you build your own. Mine is an older Pepsi-can version with the jets out of the top versus the sides. This style thus requires a seperate pot support but you have less wear & tear on the stove. Even after four years of heavy use it has held up well. My canister stove has collected a lot of dust since I switched to alcohol. Can't imagine using anything else for 3 season use.

This is one of my favourite pieces of gear: cheap, light, functional, and just plain pleasing. I intend buying a few for mates for birthday presents as these aren't very common in the UK, and they should be!Great for solo trips, nothing can beat it really.
Works great, compact, easy to pack, heats pretty quickly. I have used this one a lot, and am very happy with it. Very affordable as well.My full review is here:http://wakefieldwanderings.com/2009/03/02/review-antigravitygear-alcohol-stove/

Women of Google+ : Nina Paley
As we come across amazing women in Google+, we wanted to highlight some of them and give you the opportunity to find out how fabulous they are for yourself.
Featured G+'er : Nina Paley
How did you originally get invited to Google+?
Various friends and acquaintances invited me, and I didn't notice until yesterday because I never check my gmail account. In fact I only got a gmail account 2 weeks ago, when I got a new Android phone. Clearly, I will be using it more now.
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
Image quality is much better! I do a daily comic strip, Mimi & Eunice and Facebook would never create graphic thumbnails for links, because FB is biased against images it deems "too horizontal." This is not a problem with Google+, which makes my comics much more shareable. That alone is worth the price of admission.
How does Google+ fit into your life or career?
The more culture is shared, the more value it has. As an artist I want my work shared as much as possible. Google+ makes sharing much easier.
A particularly interesting story or thoughts you may want to add regarding Google+
I used it as an example in this article I just wrote about anti-rivalry on my blog.

McMurry hoops: Thomas leads McMurry to 6th straight win
The McMurry women's basketball team continued its rise up the American Southwest Conference West Division standings Thursday in impressive fashion Thursday, rolling past Concordia-Texas 83-51 in a matchup of teams contending for the division title.
Rikeita Thomas scored a career-high 26 points at Kimbrell Arena as McMurry (14-8 overall, 12-6 conference) won its sixth in a row. McMurry and Howard Payne are tied for second a game behind Hardin-Simmons, which lost to Mary Hardin-Baylor, for the West Division lead.
McMurry dropped to fifth place following losses at Concordia and UMHB late last month, but has beaten HSU and Concordia during its current streak.
"I think the difference between the game there (a 75-64 loss on Jan. 20) and here was we never backed down," McMurry coach Veronica Snow said. "Concordia does a great job of pressure. We knew we had to get past their initial bump and pressure and push through that.
"The girls just played outstanding — defense and offense — and you don't get to say that very often. The girls were taking it to the hole with confidence and when you score like that, it gets the other team looking at the scoreboard and not playing their game."
Concordia (12-9, 11-7) dropped into a tie for fourth with UMHB with three games remaining. The top four teams qualify for the ASC tournament, which will be hosted by the West Division winner Feb. 25-27.
Thomas, who also had a game-high five assists, surpassed her previous career high of 20 points, which came against Louisiana College in December. She had 16 points in the first half as McMurry opened up a 21-point lead.
"Rikeita showed great leadership tonight," Snow said. "She kept everybody settled and handled the ball so well being double-teamed, even triple-teamed sometimes, and made good decisions."
Keshia Collins added 18 points for McMurry with Anna Berthel scoring 10. Snow also noted the play of forward Erica Rawls, who had eight points off the bench.
"(Rawls) was 4-of-7 and probably played her best game of the year," Snow said. "She's finding her game and gaining confidence. Erica's an outstanding team player and for us to be successful we need her to play like she played tonight."
Concordia, coached by former McMurry assistant Rusty Rainbolt, opened the game by hitting its first four shots and taking an 8-4 lead. McMurry responded with a 24-5 run over an 11-minute span, taking a 28-13 lead on a jumper by Celeste Belizario.
Concordia hit just one of 15 shots during the stretch and finished the game 19-for-69 from the floor. McMurry, meanwhile, shot 50 percent (29-of-58) as Thomas and Collins combined to go 16-of-21.
Deja Thomas led Concordia with 10 points. Tiesha Martin and Dominique Mayberry each scored nine.

McMurry men grab
share of first place
The McMurry men's basketball team regained a share of first place in the American Southwest Conference West Division race Thursday with a 100-91 victory over Concordia-Texas at Kimbrell Arena.
McMurry's Derick Sumpter scored a career-high 29 points as the Nation (15-7 overall, 13-5 ASC) won for the eighth time in its last 10 games to pull into a three-way tie with Mary Hardin-Baylor and Hardin-Simmons atop the division standings.
McMurry, which swept its meeting with HSU, hosts UMHB on Saturday with the winner holding the upper hand in the race for the No. 1 seed from the West Division in the ASC tournament entering the final week of the season.
"You're into tournament play now, that's the way we're talking about it," McMurry coach Matt Garnett said. "Every game is affecting whether you get in or what your seed is. Every night you've got to play as good as you can, you've got to be as poised as you can and you've got to have a really strong will.
"There's no game left on the schedule into the postseason that's any bigger than the others. You just have to really try to bring your best effort."
Teddy Chambers recorded a double-double for McMurry with 15 points and 13 rebounds, while Jaden Isler scored 14 points and Steven Jones added 11.
McMurry trailed only once at 2-0 and opened up a 14-point lead late in the first half, but Concordia (13-9, 11-7) kept the pressure on in the second half. The Tornadoes used a 17-7 run to get within 65-63 with 12:30 to go in the game.
Sumpter scored six of the next eight points as McMurry pulled back ahead, but Concordia got it back to 76-74 with 6:23 to go before the Nation outscored the Tornadoes 24-17 the rest of the way.
Darius Anderson and Josh Johnson each scored 17 points off the bench to lead five Concordia players in double figures.
"Concordia's so good at playing as hard as they do every night and being excited about what they're doing," Garnett said. "The type of game that's usually created when they do that is one where you're going to have to keep attacking them.
"When they made those runs and cut it to two or cut it to four, I thought our guys did a good job of having a response. You have to do that because they're never out of it. Coach (Stan) Bonewitz does such a good job with them keeping them relentless offensively and defensively. I was real proud of our guys for keeping their poise during those runs."

Hi there. I'm a Partner at Undercurrent, where I lead a team focused on helping ambitious organizations operate in ways that are beneficial to all their users.
Integrated Loyalty: Creating Collective Action
Part two of five in a series about loyalty. Breaking it down! Come back tomorrow, yes? – Clay
One of the big, important pieces of my approach to marketing strategy (more on that next week) is a belief that brands should do really amazing things for people. This can take the form of a delightful piece of short-format cinema, or it could be some interesting interconnected system of digital things.
But if we're talking about things on the internet – and what doesn't fall into that category in some way? – ultimately those things should be designed to create action. But like most things that reverberate in the strategy twittersphere, "designed to create action" is pretty easy to agree to.
It's the "How?" question that's really difficult to answer.
Dueling Approaches
Our dear leader, Aaron, has a great book on getting people to do things that they might not necessarily want to do, or that they don't have the skills to do on their own. I've seen this done exceptionally well, but it's definitely an advanced move.
In my experience, success comes from aligning the thing you want people to do with something people are already doing. For me, it's the easy pickings, the foundation upon which everyone should be building.
Sidebar: Ad Spending
To that end, I'll never recommend buying an ad on a site where people just read shit, even if that shit is wonderful, engaging and superbly written shit. If it's a place where people go to DO things? Yeah, give them all your (ad) money.
Last year, my delightful and brilliant colleague Mike Arauz put together something he called the Community-Centered Collective Action Design Framework (CCCADF?), a synthesis of the following:
These four things are why people "play", but in my mind, they're why people do anything they don't have to do. We use this all the time. Mix one part of the above with…
These are from a paper about why people use Threadless, (PDF) and are pretty spot-on. Add to that some core elements from MIT research on collective intelligence, and you get…
Click the image to enlarge.
The Collective Action Design framework is, to me, the fundamental tool that strategists should use to test and validate their recommendations when those recommendations hinge on creating action in a group of people. Nice work, Mike.
It's pretty straightforward to use: do your homework, and fill in all the bubbles.
Sidebar: Interest vs. Demographic Groups
Demographics and psychographics are tough. I'm not sure they do much of anything in the digital world. So when it comes to answering the "who" question, work on defining the thing that holds the community together. On the internet, "Who" is defined by interest and nothing else.
Need a glossary? Here you go, stolen from Mike's post on the topic:
What is the shared interest that brings these people together and defines their collective identity? (Hint: the answer is not "our brand")
What is an aspect of our world that this community would be inspired to help change? (Hint: it can be big or small, as long as it's a specific outcome that is inspiring to the community)
What are the beliefs that guide this community's decisions? (Hint: look at the kinds of information that strengthen bonds between members and gives members status within the group)
What are the common modes of interaction and communication within the community? (Hint: pay closer attention to what people do, than to the platforms that enable it)
Goal: What specific collective action is the group contributing to?
Create – the group needs to create something new
Decide – the group needs to choose
Participants: Who is the group of people who will be working together?
Crowd – a loosely organized, widely distributed group of people, typically unrestrained by place or time
Hierarchy – a group organized by a management structure, with specific roles and responsibilities for each participant
Motivations: Why will each person within this network be compelled to participate?
Money – in exchange for a monetary reward
Glory – for the opportunity to gain public recognition
Expertise – to hone their skills and get better at what they do
Social – to spend time with people they like
Satisfying work – the feeling of accomplishing meaningful tasks
Be part of something bigger – the sense that they are contributing to something bigger than themselves
Personal passion – because this is something that they love to do
Tools/Methods: How will the group be enabled to participate?
Collection – each participant contributes in small pieces on their own
Contest – used when there is a limit on how much needs to be created
Collaboration – used when individual contributions necessarily affect each other
Voting – each participant votes for their favorite choice, most votes wins
Averaging – each participant rates independently, and the aggregate ratings are averaged for a final rating
Consensus – participants engage in direct dialogue with each other to agree on a precise outcome
Prediction Market – participants place bets on what they expect to happen
Market – participants spend money to express their choices
Social Network – participants trade in social currency to guide and express their choices
This is a model, and as such it'll break sometimes, but in my usage it works more than it doesn't.
So, what to do with all this? And who's doing it well?
There are a few companies doing collective action well, but by and large their efforts are disconnected from their customer masters on the back end. And if the company is doing collective action really well, it's likely that they're a born-digital company that has CRM/Loyalty built in to the soul of the company (Quirky, Foursquare, OkCupid, Amazon, etc.)
So how about an old fogey doing well in the new world?
Amex + Flyertalk = Top Flyer
This is great. Or at least, mostly great.
If I were an airline, I'd be doing what American Express is doing with the Flyertalk forums, where participation in Top Flyer group discussions earns you points, and the top point earner gets Membership Rewards points or cash. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to log in to Flyertalk with my Delta SkyMiles number and rack up points for participating.
The Top Flyer activation probably shouldn't be its own forum and could be more complex in its scoring mechanisms, but…
- It's well-connected to the interests of the group (improving travel experiences)
- It creates some interesting hierarchy structures that absolutely align to the way forums work (mods, etc. …this could be blown out more, though)
- It would be nice if it weren't just about "travel know-how" and was more about making decisions for a company (which is why an airline would be perfect for this)
- Its tools and methods are exactly aligned with what's already happening on Flyertalk
Focus on Action and Connect the Tubes
All of that was a long way of saying two things: when it comes to loyalty, you should focus your digital efforts on creating engagement that's built on existing motivations, interests, behaviors, and tools; those efforts should connect back to a customer master so you can incentivize valuable behaviors.
Otherwise, two things are happening.
- You're buying impressions and you really ought to be buying something more efficient for that.
- You're creating action for action's sake, which is cool engagement but inherently disconnected from the sale.
Both of which are a bummer, right?
Comments appreciated. See you tomorrow, loyal readers.

This article was previously published under Q319574
On This Page
This step-by-step article describes how to install and use certificates for use with Exchange 2000.
Exchange 2000 incorporates a number of virtual servers that are responsible for servicing inbound and outbound connections for a number of standard Internet services. These services are:
NOTE: Exchange 2000 also includes a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) virtual server. However, you configure this virtual server by using Internet Services Manager. This procedure in not described in this article.
RequirementsThe following list outlines the recommended hardware, software, network infrastructure, and service packs that you need:
What Is a Certificate?A certificate is the basis of providing security between two parties over public networks. Certificates are digitally signed statements that contain a public key and the name of the owner or subject of the certificate. Certificates are also signed by the issuing body or certification authority (CA). If the CA signs the certificate, the CA confirms that the private key that is associated with the certificate's public key is in the possession of the user named in the certificate.
Certificates provide a mechanism for establishing a relationship between a public key and the entity that owns the corresponding private key. Most certificates are based on the International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) X.509 version 3 standard.
You can use certificates to perform the following tasks:
How to Use Certificates with Virtual ServersThis section is provided to help you understand why you might want to use certificates with your virtual servers.
Post Office Protocol version 3 Virtual Servers and Internet Message Access Protocol version 4 Virtual ServersThe POP3 virtual servers and IMAP4 virtual servers provide the necessary services for POP3 clients or IMAP4 client such as Microsoft Outlook Express to obtain e-mail messages from your Exchange 2000 computer. You may want to use POP3 or IMAP4 to obtain e-mail messages from Exchange 2000 if connection speeds are very slow and users do not require the full functionality of the Outlook client program.
However, the POP3 and IMAP4 protocols use clear text for sending messages and for authentication. If you add a certificate to the POP3 virtual servers or IMAP4 virtual servers, you can offer Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, and make sure that both the authentication sequence and message bodies are encrypted throughout transit across public networks.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Virtual ServersSMTP virtual servers provide the following services, either on their own or in conjunction with an SMTP connector:
Microsoft recommends that you create separate SMTP virtual servers, one for use with Exchange Server routing groups and one for POP3 and IMAP4 e-mail message delivery, and that you configure both virtual server with certificates and SSL. After you do so, you can use the default SMTP virtual server to connect to external domains by means of the SMTP connector.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Virtual ServersTypically, you use certificates with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) virtual servers to provide support for users who obtain their e-mail messages by means of Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA). For this purpose, it may be best to obtain a third-party certificate. With a third-party certificate, users can connect to their mailboxes from public computers, such as those in kiosks or Internet cafes.
Network News Transfer Protocol Virtual ServersUse certificates with NNTP virtual servers if the following conditions are true:
How to Select a Certificate SourceWhen you obtain certificates to use with your virtual servers, you have three choices:
How to Purchase Certificates from an External Certification AuthorityYou can apply to an external CA such as VeriSign or Thawte for certificates that are verified by one of the root certificates that are installed with Windows 2000. Purchase individual certificates from an external CA if the following conditions are true:
How to Become a Subordinate Certification Authority to an External Certification AuthorityTo complete this approach, you set yourself up as a subordinate CA that is certified by an external CA. This means that you can issue multiple certificates that are trusted because they are linked to publicly available certificates instead of purchasing each certificate separately. However, you still must maintain your own CA structure; the approval process requires three to six months and costs a minimum of $50,000 (US currency). For example, Microsoft is a subordinate CA certified by VeriSign.
Consider becoming a subordinate CA if the following conditions are true:
How to Implement and Maintain Your Own Root Certification Authority StructureCreate your own root CA structure if the following conditions are true:
You can mix these approaches, for example, you can use an external CA for your public e-commerce Web site and use your own CA to verify your employees' identities when they connect to your Exchange Server computer by means of the Internet.
After you obtain your certificate or set up your CA, you must install the certificates on the Exchange Server virtual servers. This procedure is generally the same for all server types, except for the HTTP virtual server. To install certificates on the POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and NNTP virtual servers, use Exchange System Manager. To configure HTTP virtual servers, use Internet Services Manager (this procedure is not described in this article).
How to Request a Certificate from an External Certification AuthorityThis procedure describes how to install certificates from an external CA in a situation where a certificate request must be prepared and sent to the external CA. You must process the certificate file in a separate sequence.
NOTE: The following procedure applies to the POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and NNTP protocols only. This article does not describe how to configure HTTP for SSL.
How to Install a Certificate from an External Certification AuthoritySend the certificate request file that you created in the previous section to your CA. Alternatively, your CA may have a Web-based interface that permits you to submit the certificate request. You receive a file that has a .cer file name extension. After you receive this file, restart the Certificate Wizard to install this certificate.
How to Install a Certificate from a Microsoft Certificate ServerIf you have installed Microsoft Certificate Server services on Windows 2000 either as a root CA or as a subordinate CA, you can send your certificate server request to the online CA directly.
NOTE: You can only send a request to an online CA if you have installed the CA in Active Directory as an enterprise CA, instead of as a stand-alone CA.
How to Force Secure CommunicationsAfter you install the certificate, you can force secure communications on the POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols.
NOTE: The NNTP protocol does not a have setting to force secure communications.
How to Confirm That Your Certificate Is Installed CorrectlyTo confirm that your virtual server is using SSL encryption and that the certificate is installed correctly, configure Outlook Express to connect by using a secure channel, and then use Network Monitor to verify that the protocol packets are encrypted.
TroubleshootingIf you are running your own root CA or if you have a subordinate CA, note that if your Certificate Server environment does not respond, you can lose all of certificates that are currently issued and your certificate revocation list. If you lose certificates and the certificate revocation list, your clients cannot connect securely to the protocol virtual servers that configured with those certificates. Therefore, it is important that you decide whether to implement your own CA.

Hi Max,
It has to be said that the current news about corrupt and deviant politicos et al seems to be bloody relentless of late, so , for a change, here's an example of how America is clamping down on errant behaviour in the young … Student Arrested For Burping .
I've heard it said that Britain is only a year or two behind the USA in its stupidity so I fully expect to hear about some poor kid having his arse prosecuted following a particularly fruitful and melodic bout of flatulence.
Christ, at my old school, virtually all the boys in my class would have been hauled before the beak on that charge. Particularly John S who could fart at will and on a good day could imitate a bren gun emptying a full clip ;-)
"Wheel in the guilty party, Sarn't Major"
"Essah. Efrye efrye efrye efrye. Halt. Efwheel. Tenshun.
Remove your hat in the presence of an hofficer yew orrid little boil"
"..Er .. very good Sarn't Major. Now what's the charge?"
"Burpin haudibly while on prade, Sah.
Wivout prior permission and wivout a signed chitty".
"Gad. Appalling behaviour. Thirty shillings and thirty days ROP, you disgusting little man.
Take him away. Next"
Must get some practice in for my next encounter with HMG bureaucracy …

it's almost like the oil stuff they put it in the road black rubber after the ziebart dry.
i got the ziebart for a year now no rust

About the only places around my area that do it any longer are body shops. Seems most of the dealers couldn't be bothered. But they wanted about $400 for the job, so I did it myself. I went and got 6 cans of 3M Rubberized (ONLY use rubber undercoating -- the rest is junk). Then, I pulled the rear of my truck up onto ramps, taped off everything that I didn't want to get coated (especially the exhaust system) and sprayed away. Not as good as the pros, but it's a lot better then nothing. Cost me all of $30 and 1/2 a days work (and runined the t-shirt I was wearing too ).
The coating on the frames now is wax-based, so it comes off very easy. Too easy, actually. But that only covers the frame, the underbody doesn't have any special coatings, so when I did it I sprayed the frame and the body.

Before you undercoat clean/wash your trucks undercarige very well, and let it dry for a good day or 2. Then you can do it yourself or have someone with experience do it for you.
Beware of the dealerships, undercoating is a very messy job and they typically have some flunky spray the crap out of everything, including your tranny, engine, axle housing, etc.
Not only will the undercoat provide you with added protection and pease of mind, but it will also give you a quieter experience inside the cab.
After you have it undercoated, don't get on the highway for at least 3 or 4 hours. Let your undercoat dry for a minimum of 24hrs before going into any rough terrain.
Good Luck!

It clogs the factory drain holes in places and allows water to sit and begin corrosion from the inside out.

My last rustproof job was a 1985 GMC Jimmy - full size. I had as much rust on it as if I hadn't had it done to begin with because of all the holes they punched in the body. There's another thread in Product Review
and you can read my comments there on rustproofing. Believe me, Ziebart's warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on, esecially if you miss one of their stupid inspection periods, which used to cost you $30 annually to have done.
Best advice is, keep your truck clean, scratches and chips touched up and with the better quality of todays vehicle builds, you should go a long time without problems.

Rustproofing and undercoating are 2 entirely different things.
I wouldn't fool with rustproofing either.
