|Lady Dragons return to the net for the 2013 volleyball season
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
With five returning letterwinners and seven seniors on the Holyoke High School volleyball team, the girls will rely on leadership and experience as they head into the 2013 season with high expectations.
Practices officially began Monday, Aug. 12 as the team began three days of two-a-day practices. Coach Michelle Vieselmeyer said the girls benefitted from a satellite camp held the week prior to practice beginning, as the workouts helped them transition from summer to the volleyball season.
Twenty-six girls make up this year's roster and with a few weeks of practice and a scrimmage with Haxtun under their belts, the girls enter the season with their sights set on returning to the regional tournament and moving on to state.
Returning HHS letterwinners for the 2013 volleyball season are pictured from left, Jacinda Krueger, Megan Vieselmeyer, Maddie King, Tia Huffman and Ashley Humphreys.

Xertoli Coupage Olive Oil - 500ml
The Xertoli extra virgin olive oils are all about finesse. Using a blend of Sevillenca, Farga and Morruda olives, this oil is unique to the regions of Baix Ebre and Montsià where the original Iberians are believed to have planted some of the earliest Catalonian olive groves.
Trees ranging from 100 to 1000 years old bear the olives that are harvested by hand then pressed within six hours of harvest to preserve the precious flavors, aromas and health benefits of the oil.
The Coupage blend is made using the best of the harvest to create a complex and delicate oil. The color is a beautiful golden-green with aromas of ripe apple, green almond and olive. On the palate, the oil is light with the flavors of apple and artichoke persisting to an incredibly long finish.

Monoblock Amplifiers Information
Mono Subwoofer Amplifiers
Mono amplifiers are single channel amps, but they can be used to power more than one subwoofer. Mono amps typically produce more power than multi-channel amps, which makes them ideal for powering subwoofers. Class D mono amps are the most efficient of all amplifier designs because they draw less current and as a result generate less heat in comparison to the classic mono amplifier design.
A mono amplifier puts out only one channel of sound, as opposed to a stereo amp that puts out two channels of sound. A mono amp is generally used for extremely low frequencies, such as bass, that are channeled into a single subwoofer. It doesn't matter that both stereo channels are combined for these low bass frequencies because you couldn't tell which channel the sounds are coming from anyway because you feel the sound pressure more than hear the sound.

Everyone knows that physical activity is an important part of being healthy. But for many of us, the cost of gym memberships can be prohibitive.
Here's what you may not know: if you have health insurance, work for a company that employs more than fifty people, or are a college student, chances are that you're eligible to receive a discount. Read below to find out if you qualify.
Insurance DiscountsBlue Cross Blue Shield of WNY
Blue Cross Blue Shield of WNY offers its members discounted rates for health-related services. Its website states that all members are eligible, although some restrictions may apply.
Discounts include:
- 50% off the enrollment fee on the Buffalo Athletic Club's Preferred Program
- 10% off a new annual membership at the Jewish Community Center
Some plans also cover fitness classes. Body Shaping by Sandy is a popular choice for those interested in Zumba, Yoga or Tai Chi. Classes are held at different times, days and locations to fit your schedule.
Univera members can show their member IDs at participating gyms to receive a discount. Benefits include:
- 60% off the initial sign up fee at Curves for Women in Fredonia

Click here for a complete list of member discounts (PDF).
Other Insurance Companies
Other insurance companies may offer discounts as well, since they have a vested interest in keeping you healthy. Check with your insurance provider to learn more.
Employer DiscountsEven if your health insurance plan doesn't offer a gym discount, your employer might.
Discounts for Gold's Gym are offered in 86% of companies that employ over 50 people. Participating companies include Time Warner Cable, Exxon Mobile and Barnes and Noble.
Click here to see if your company participates in the discount program.
If your company isn't listed, ask the gym about a corporate discount. For example, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo (JCC) offers discounts to companies with five or more people who are interested in joining.
Student DiscountsMany gyms offer memberships to college students at a discounted rate. The JCC offers a discount with proof of attendance. To be eligible, you must be enrolled for a certain number of credit hours.
Contact the gym that's of interest to you and inquire if a student discount is available and what the eligibility requirements are.
Income-sensitive DiscountsIf the cost of a gym membership would break your budget, apply for financial assistance.
The JCC offers fee assistance for those who are unable to manage the cost of a membership. Click here for more information (PDF).
The YMCA Buffalo Niagara also assists those who are unable to pay the full price of membership. Visit their website to download a financial assistance application.
Now that winter weather is approaching, gyms are offering even more incentives for us to join. Some of the best deals are going on right now. Research your health insurance, start a company wellness program or take advantage of your college student status.
Because discounts may change or restrictions may apply, it's a good idea to contact your insurance carrier or gym of interest before committing to a membership.
Good luck at finding the best possible deal you can get on your next gym membership!

Andalusia Travel guide
Andalusia : Michelin's recommendations
Andalusia, Andalucia, Al-Andalus: a land of a thousand and one nights and a thousand stories whose riches the ancient geographer Strabo compared to the Elysian Fields.
The fertile valley of the Guadalquivir, surrounded by mountain ranges, contains vestiges of its magnificent past redolent of jasmine and orange blossoms and marked by its many conquests and re-conquests. The lobed arches and interlacing in the former Great Mosque of Cordoba speak volumes about its refinement, as do the pictorial treasures of the Spanish Golden Age preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville.
Situated between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the homeland of Averroes and Velasquez has remained a truly authentic place that is stimulating, colourful and welcoming for those who get beyond the cliché images of bullfighting and beaches in Marbella on the world-famous Costa del Sol. Its natural beauty can be disconcerting, offering striking contrasts of desert-like landscapes dominated by distant snow-capped peaks. The luxuriant vegetation around the river has little in common with those areas, except in sharing the Andalusian way of life and its mouth-watering treats such as Sherry and bread rubbed with olive oil.

Juan Martin del Potro made a smooth start to his Wimbledon campaign. The 19-year old Argentine pummeled Czech Pavel Snobel 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 and will take on rising Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka in the next round.
I love that Juan Martin has finally tamed his hairy situation and he even did it in stages. The image on the far right is from last season's US summer hardcourt swing when I first noticed the severity of his issue. The center is from last month's Roland Garros where the Argentine was finally gaining control, though he was still wearing something close to a mullet. The far left image is from today's match where Juan Martin finally hits the right balance. Ahhh!
You see? Slowly, but surely, it's possible to make the change. Ask Andy Murray too.

Oh man, he should have never touched his hair. I preferred the old JMDP. This will most likely end his tennis career.... his results are already slipping!ReplyDelete

Driver-Side Floorpan Replacement - Making It Pan OutWritten by Johnny Hunkins on October 1, 2012 When the hard road deals your floorboard a death sentence of rust, you can easily replace it with a patch panel from Dynacorn.
We were all set to finish the Art Morrison Enterprises rollbar kit in our '68 Nova project car, counting the few days more it would be to have the interior completely finished for the summer cruise season, when we were dealt a cruel surprise by a previous owner: a driver-side floorpan full of rust. You'd think this would be easy enough to spot when buying a car, but our intrepid seller had artfully covered the rot with a thin layer of fiberglass, mudded it in with body filler, then camouflaged it with a can of truck bedliner to look like factory sealant. When the crew at Outlaw Motorsports used a grinder to smooth the surface in preparation for welding the rollbar mounting plates, the building filled with the acrid smoke of burning Bondo faster than you could say caveat emptor.
The ironic thing is that the subterfuge of cloaking the hack job easily took as much time as fixing it the right way, which is what Outlaw Motorsports in Riverside, California, chose to do. The correct fix is to cut out the offending rust area, and replace it with a new patch panel, and that will be our mission here. Outlaw Motorsports is a direct dealer for Dynacorn sheetmetal for muscle cars, so it was only natural to check them first. We needed a partial left-hand floorpan, PN 1635, for '68-74 Nova (actually called a "full" pan, but it's really only for half the car). It was in stock at a nearby warehouse, the price was right at just $56, and they could deliver it the next day. We can count the times that's ever happened before on just one hand. When we got our Dynacorn floorpan, it looked like a dead ringer for the stock one, and the fit ended up being very good with little massaging required. In fact, the whole operation took just three hours. If you want to see the video showing the entire operation, just go to www.YouTube.com/PopularHotRodding and look for "Project Nova—Floor Patch Panel Repair."
The fact that our Nova already had the interior out did make things easier, and Outlaw's Ron Aschtgen says for a job like this he normally charges between $200 and $300, including the floorpan. If you want to do the job yourself, you'll be happy to learn that it's an easy one—perfect for the beginner wanting to get his or her hands dirty with a fun welding job. You will need a few choice tools beyond the norm, most importantly a good MIG welder. We used a Miller Electric Millermatic 211 with AutoSet. This unit was designed for beginner and pro alike; its dual-voltage MVP plug allows use on both household 120V power and 230 V. The Millermatic 211 even detects the voltage without any action required on the user's part. Miller also has the normal controls pros expect, like those for wire speed and amperage, but the novice will appreciate the 211's ability to adjust power and wire feed settings automatically by just telling it the material thickness and weld wire diameter. An anti-spatter feature also reduces slag and spit on start-up. It's the perfect mate for your home garage or pro fab shop. Besides a welder, you'll also need a cutoff wheel, air saw, high-speed grinder, metal snips, dead blow hammer, chisel, air chisel, prybar, spot-weld cutter, and drill (or spot-weld hole punch).
With this job out of the way, we believe we've finally eradicated the last of the rust from Project Nova. Now we can get on with the business of installing our Auto Meter Elite Series gauges, Dynamat sound deadener, carpet kit, and a custom fabricated package tray from Outlaw Motorsports. We'll bring that to you in the coming months. Then we tackle the tune-up with a serious session on the chassis dyno. We can almost taste victory, and it's all due to the multifaceted folks at Outlaw Motorsports!

This handy body shop tool punches 5/16-inch diameter holes with ease, but you can use a drill to make holes roughly every 2 inches apart. Here, Aschtgen punches the holes where the pan meets the rocker channel.After all four corners of the patch panel have been tack welded in place, and the spot welds at the firewall joint and rocker panel have been completed, the overlapping areas need to be cut to create a clean butt-weld. The process starts with using a cutoff wheel to cut a small slit in the overlapping zone, then cutting it along the seam with an air saw, removing the excess overlap scrap, then alternating between a hammer and welder to mate the surfaces perfectly. You'll see it here in a bit …It's best to remove the entire cancerous section in one piece so it can be laid over the new patch panel, and its outline traced. You'll need to cut the patch panel oversized, then gradually cut away with snips the extra metal until it fits in the car.Aschtgen is in the final stages of fitting the panel. Note that the only side not trimmed is against the outside rocker channel where the floorpan bends down at a 90-degree angle—the other three sides are shown here to overlap at the driver seat, firewall, and trans tunnel. By the time we're done, there will only be overlap at the firewall and outside rocker (where the factory spot welds will be reproduced).You don't want to go blazing along your weld seam when dealing with thin metal—18 gauge, in this case. To keep the heat from warping your work, make a series of spaced-out tack welds, and work the surrounding area with a hammer periodically to get both halves to match up for the perfect butt-weld.Here's the same area after Aschtgen has butt-welded the length along the driver-seat seam. To give the work a factory profile, you'll want to grind the welds flat with a high-speed grinder and some 36-grit wheels.Working along the trans tunnel, you can get a better idea of how Aschtgen likes to cut away the old floor to prepare for the butt-weld. ("Overlapped welds are for sissies," Aschtgen says!) Note how he's following the contours of the new piece. Since the work is firmly held in place by the other welds, a near gapless seam is created.And let's not forget about the constant process of grinding that's needed to prepare all the weld surfaces. Shortcut the grinding and the quality of the welds will diminish greatly.With the excess overlap cut and trimmed off, the seam at the trans tunnel can be periodically tacked, then followed up with a complete bead along the entire edge. The Millermatic 211's AutoSet feature will ensure that just the right amount of wire feed and amperage will produce the perfect weld. No Millermatic with AutoSet? As a starting point, you can set your 230V MIG for 30 inches per minute when using .030-inch diameter weld wire on 18-gauge steel (whatever amperage corresponds to 18 gauge on your MIG).
Here Aschtgen uses the hammer to get the two edges to mate evenly. (Remember that the patch panel originally sat on top of the original metal.) This is an iterative process in which you will alternate welding with hammering to create an even surface.After all the welds are completed, you'll want to grind down the welds in areas that aren't spot welded from the factory, then you'll want to spray the finished work area with a material that will protect it for the long haul. Ordinary spray paint isn't going to do that. Instead, use Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black, which is designed to take the beating over the course of decades. With three times the amount of protecting resins, Extreme Chassis Black will outlast the rest of the car.

Welcome to the Guild Minimal! Hey those are looking really good so far. I haven't worked wit vector programs yet, so I can't offer any advice myself, but I'm sure others will have something to contribute. Thanks for posting.
Edit: I'll be moving this to another thread after the next update. This was basically to make sure the concept works. Now that I know it does, I'll move it to it's own thread to contain the WIPs and maps for the project.
I think this might be my first post. I started playing with Fractal Terrains today with a specific goal in mind. I want a world that I can subdivide into segments and then subdivide further for city maps and such.
No specific goal for today, I just wanted a proof of concept. Here it is so far:
The planet (Fractal Terrains + 5 minutes in Photoshop)
Then I did a subset of that as a map and added an inset for detail of the land around one city
I actually like the planet I have. Now I need to either: Wrap that planet around a google earth setup so I can add political boundaries and such or find a way to draw them directly in Fractal Terrains. I'd rather do it in Fractal Terrains personally.

Welcome to the Guild Minimal! Hey those are looking really good so far. I haven't worked wit vector programs yet, so I can't offer any advice myself, but I'm sure others will have something to contribute. Thanks for posting.
I've totally ruined my lurker status haven't I?
Well, I can wrap it around a globe in google I'm pretty sure, and that would let me add political boundaries there. I think that might defeat the purpose of being able to reproject it while maintaining (and so far effectively increasing due to my detail levels in FT) the detail. I know there's a way to do overlay images in FT, but the manual states that those aren't saved as part of the map so I'm not sure if I can make political boundaries that way. (Any input on ways to do this would be massively appreciated)
I have learned some neat things though:
Reducing the altitude pallets to one color for land and one for ocean and removing shading results in the 'flat map' in the inset. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else do it that way but dang that's convenient.
The colors on the 'main' map were done by taking the gaia map as a base, overlaying a the custom climate map copy from this excellent tutorial, using image adjustments to separate and retone the water colors on the gaia map and then using the (separated) land maps in that climate copy as a hue overlay. I like the coloring effect a lot better than the originals.
I also know that I need to learn how to do some of the nice compass roses. I like mine as a hyper simple place holder but it's not exactly professional looking.

Welcome! This looks very promising.
Yesterday today was tomorrow.

aye welcome, and that's looking pretty sweet! I once used FT to generate google maps tiles (it has a tile-save option). I got to about 6 or 7 zoom levels ( over 300.000 map images for the last level . I didnt dare do another level. if you want the googlemaps javascript code i can post it (it contains a function to map google map coordinates to FT tile filenames). One issue with google maps is the scaling (uses earth size measurements) so i also used a custom-scale control (a static scale ignoring projection differencs at poles, but for a fantasy it worked in my case). cheers!

Thanks for the welcomes all. Had another idea, gonna try it out but may not have a new image for a day or two (we're also in the middle of packing and looking for new apartments for a move soon).
Having that part working, I generated a new world and went through and painted it section by section until I had all the areas I actually wanted. Now I'm working on options for exporting it.
Honestly, the simplest thing may just be to use a mercator projection at an insanely high resolution for the political boundaries and then resize/take clips of it as needed for area/region maps. Then I can still pull local level snippets from the source.
Trying a 5 by 5 sliced image set now at 5000 px width per slice. I'll stitch those together in PS. My machine is going to hate me by the end of the day.
Last edited by minimal; 05-17-2010 at 09:18 AM.
After a lot of manual stitching I got the full world Mercator map for the new gen into Photoshop where I was happy with it.
Then I started playing a bit. Here's the first result.
I'm not sure I'd do a full map in this style, but I like the effect. If I were to take it further I would flatten out the color areas for the land masses and add in some elevation lines for them.
The important part is that the full world map works in the high rez. Done playing for now, but the next step (probably tomorrow) is going to be to start figuring out an expansion and where I want 'ground zero' to be. This will end up being a steam punk inspired setting by way of generation ship SF. Think Heinlein style colonization on a planet without oil supplies. Coal will be available, but what coal does best is generate heat. That makes a good excuse for steam punk civilizations.
Wonderful colors, go with that.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

- Flat between the bindings with early rise at the tip and tail keeps you afloat in pow, switch or regular
- Triax glass provides torsional stiffness for edge hold and response
- FSC-certified wood core with poplar for lightweight strength and ash reinforcements for durability
- Quadratic sidecut distributes pressure evenly along your edge for stability
- Slightly tapered tail and set-back stance increases float in powder
- Sintered base is fast and durable
- Castor bean topsheet reduces use of petroleum-based products
- Made in the USA using 100% wind-powered energy
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Zephyr is the King
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Super solid board for big lines. Took me a while to get used to the non-tapered shape. Doesn't turn as quick as other boards I've had but very stable at speed and on big moutain lines, I wouldn't rather ride anything else. My fave for spring and summer on the volcanos in the PNW.
Really shines on big open terrain at speed. Just eats through everything in its path, does not chatter.
Jefe, I'm a little confused with your review. I want to point out the Zephyr is a tapered design. It has 5.8mm of taper, and a set back 20mm from center.
Other than that I agree with all you say. This board is solid and stable at speed. Stays afloat and will work on a variety of different terrain.
What year is this model?

This is a Fall/Winter 2012 edition.
Hi, it it true this zephyr had Karakoram...
Hi, it it true this zephyr had Karakoram hardware and not voile? I noticed all the other ventures have voile so I want to make sure this is true? Karakoram secures it more firmly?
Thank you,
The Zephyr uses Voile hooks exclusively. Karakorum is not standard on Venture. I have tried to place the Karakorum hooks on my Zephyr, and I would not recommend it. It makes the board too tight, almost to the point of a bad overlap. The Voile hooks feel more solid to me, and they lighter and more simple. Since Venture is one of the tightest boards on the market, I do not feel there is a need for the Karakorum hooks.
For anyone else reading this; this board does NOT come with Karakoram hardware. However, I bought it and replaced the Voile hooks with Karakoram clips, and it has been performing fine for me.


text: I drew an area 74 antelope tag and 118 deer tag. I'm hoping the winter wasn't too hard on the antelope in that area. I'm hoping to score on a buck 78 or better and I hope this is still doable I'm also thinking about pushing my hunt in 74 until the second week in Oct so I won't have to make two trips from WA. Do you think this will really lessen my chances of finding a good buck. Any info on this area would be appreciated.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

A few weekends ago I started migrating a server from an old Ubuntu 6.06 32-bit server to a new Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit server. I've done this before on another server without much problem, but that was a much smaller server in terms of accounts and mail stores.
For the migration I followed the official migration documentation on the Zimbra wiki. However, this time when Rsyncing the /opt/zimbra/store contents from the old to the new server, for some reason the /store directory increased in size by a large amount. Some sub-directories became twice as large, while others just increased by 10-20%. Unfortunately, although the Rsync job was very near completion, I had to stop the transfer, as the new 10.04 server was running out of disk space. I could of course have started over and just created a new, larger 64-bit machine, but that would simply have been a work-around and not really solved my problem with the suddenly increasing data size.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may have happened?
Also -- just a thought -- rather than Rsyncing all the data over from one server to the other, would it be possible to simply restore all accounts from a full backup? After all, I ran a full backup to separate NAS storage before starting the migration job.
Any comments, ideas and thoughts on the issues I ran into would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Have decided to consolidate some of my home server kit, as my dual Opteron Xen setup is getting a bit hot in the office :) So started to look at running Zimbra on a Mini-ITX setup in a 1U rackmount enclosure. Now until now it would appear most boards would only support 1GB RAM, but now the VIA Nano and Intel ATOM are out it would seem 2GB is possible :)
So with a 1.6GHz dual core Intel ATOM and 2GB RAM do you think this would quite happily support a ZCS installation of up to 5 users ? I think it would do this just fine, and would make a nice SOHO setup for minimal cost and a low carbon footprint to boot :D
What do you reckon ?
