MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State's Chris Harper and Braden Wilson were selected in the NFL Draft on Saturday, while five other former Wildcats, including Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein, agreed to free agent deals with organizations.
Harper was taken in the fourth round (123rd overall) by Seattle, while Wilson was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round (204th overall). A big and physical receiver, Harper led the team with 58 receptions for 857 yards and three touchdowns a year ago, while Wilson was a mainstay in the backfield as a lead blocker for a Wildcat rushing attack that ranked among the Big 12's best in each of the last two seasons.
The pair joins Arthur Brown, who was a second-round pick of the Ravens, to give the Wildcats three or more draftees for the first time since 2007 and a total of 49 draft selections under head coach Bill Snyder. All three players are also Kansas natives.
Following a record-setting senior season, Klein agreed to terms with the Houston Texans, along with linebacker Justin Tuggle, while punter Ryan Doerr (Denver), running back Angelo Pease (Green Bay) and tight end Travis Tannahill (Cleveland) have all agreed to free agent deals.
Harper, Wilson, Klein, Doerr and Tannahill earned All-Big 12 accolades in 2012, while all eight players who have either been drafted or inked free agent deals were instrumental in the Wildcats' rise to a No. 1 national ranking and Big 12 Championship a year ago.

First of all let me say as someone who does web development, your UI in incredible. I know some organizations that might be interested in the product, but I have a question about response time. I've noticed several actions (right clicks and others) have a slow response time. I've noticed that on my Mac and on a Windows machine. Obviously, it is tough to distinguish between what is slow because of the app and what is due to communication round trips, but I tested it on a Cable connection (5.0 download speeds) so I don't think it's the connection.
Anyway, given this is a beta release, should I expect that 1.0 release to be faster? I don't expect this to be perfect since it is the first thing we have seen and I was just wondering if there is some optimization going on that will make the end product quicker. I think it will need to be more responsive for me to convince some folks to leave their desktop Outlook client for this product full time.
Again, what you have done is very impressive, I'm not bashing just asking a difficult question. Keep up the good work.

The chiropractic office I work for accidentally ordered this lotion instead of the cream I usually use. I'm so glad they did because I fell in love with it! It is great for both Swedish and Deep tissue work. It has a very good absorbency, perfect amount of glide and wonderful light fragrance. I will be buying this again!
I was very excited to use earthlites oil. lotion and cream and ended up very disappointed
This lotion is thick and has a nice glide. I would use it again.

|Rank (prev)
|1 (1)
|Manatee (10-0) Bradenton, FL
Manatee finished off a perfect regular season with a blowout win over Lakewood Ranch. Northeast must travel to Bradenton this week for the honor of getting blown out in the first round. With perennial powers Dwyer and St. Thomas Aquinas lurking on their half of the bracket, Manatee will not have a straight shot to the finals.
Last: Def Lakewood Ranch 49-6
Next: 11/16 Northeast (7-3)
|2 (2)
|John Curtis (10-0) River Ridge, LA
Curtis on the other hand can etch their name in the 2A trophy already. The Patriots don't play a team ranked in the Top 25 of Louisiana to finish their playoff run. The next victim is North Webster.
Last: Def Pope John Paul 64-0
Next: 11/16 North Webster (7-4)
|3 (3)
|Vista Murrieta (11-0) Murrieta, CA
Vista Murrieta had little trouble with South Hills, but Norco is a team that can present problems for anyone. Norco hung 50 on its opponent from Vista Murrieta's league last week in the first round. The Broncos should prevail, but they might actually have to break a sweat before dispatching Norco this week.
Last: Def South Hills 34-6
Next: 11/16 Norco (7-4)
|4 (5)
|Katy (10-0) Katy, TX
Speaking of not breaking a sweat, Katy finished off their regular season with another blowout. The Texas High School Playoffs are a long road, but Katy shouldn't have any trouble in the first round this week against Westbury.
Last: Def Memorial 41-6
Next: 11/15 Westbury (3-7)
|5 (6)
|Bellevue (11-0) Bellevue, WA
Bellevue played its toughest game of the season in August in a win over Euless Trinity of Texas. The rest is merely a formality now as Bellevue waltzes to another State Championship.
Last: Def Ferndale 28-0
Next: 11/16 Peninsula (9-2)
|6 (7)
|DeSoto (10-0) DeSoto, TX
DeSoto had a game on their hands with Mansfield as the Eagles finished off a perfect regular season. DeSoto gets an easy opening round matchup in the playoffs as they should cruise past Harker Heights.
Last: Def Mansfield 37-23
Next: 11/17 Harker Heights (5-5)
|7 (8)
|University (9-0) Ft. Lauderdale
University opens its playoffs with a Cardinal Newman team that looks good on paper. That 9-1 record looks like a nice matchup coming in, but Cardinal Newman has played one team of University's caliber, No. 22 American Heritage. The Crusaders were blown out 49-0. This one may not get that ugly, but don't be fooled by the records, if Cardinal Newman wins this, it will be a colossal upset.
Last: Idle
Next: 11/16 Cardinal Newman (9-1)
|8 (9)
|North Allegheny (11-0) Wexford, PA
North Allegheny had a bit of deja vu as they've now won back to back games by identical 42-14 scores and three straight games with 42 points. It's going to be a little tougher to hang six touchdowns on Seneca Valley as this will be a good test for the Tigers.
Last: Def Bethel Park 42-14
Next: 11/16 Seneca Valley (10-1)
|9 (10)
|Butler (12-0) Matthews, NC
Butler had to play Independence in back to back games, and the Bulldogs handled both games admirably. This week's game against East Forsyth qualifies as one of the best matchups in the country.
|10 (11)
|St. Ignatius (11-1) Cleveland, OH
Speaking of rematches, St. Ignatius was probably looking forward to another shot at St. Edwards who knocked off the Tigers two weeks ago, but St. Edward fell to Mentor in a 63-56 shootout. Think the Ohio playoffs are tough? Mentor/St. Edward was merely a second round game.
Last: Def North Royalton 56-0
Next: 11/16 No. 22 Mentor (11-1)
|11 (12)
|Good Counsel (10-1) Olney, MD
Good Counsel got a good game from St. John's. The Falcons have their hands full this week in a 10/5 rematch with DeMatha, a game that Good Counsel won by a score of 13-10.
Last: Def St. John's 21-7
Next: 11/18 DeMatha (9-2)
|12 (13)
Colerain (12-0) Cincinnati, OH
|13 (15)
|De La Salle (10-0) Concord, CA
De La Salle got about as much resistance from Bye last week as they'll get from Pittsburg this week. We're just waiting to see who De La Salle gets in the Open Bowl in a few weeks. Mission Viejo? Vista Murrieta?
Last: Bye
Next: 11/16 Pittsburg (8-3)
|14 (16)
|Grayson (9-1) Loganville, GA
One gets the feeling that Grayson fell victim to its own success in Week 3. After beating Miami Central handily, the Rams fell to Parkview. since then, Grayson has been on a rampage including four straight shutouts to close October and open November. Wheeler should be an easy game for the Rams as North Gwinnett and Lowndes loom in their quarter of the bracket.
Last: Def Brookwood 42-13
Next: 11/16
|15 (17)
|Steele (10-0) Cibolo, Texas
Steele will be looking forward to the playoffs as their regular season schedule hasn't been much of a challenge. The Knights will likely have to wait until next week for a real test though, as Marshall should be cannon fodder.
Last: Def Southwest 42-14
Next: 11/16 Marshall (5-5)
|16 (18)
|Mission Viejo (11-0) Mission Viejo, CA
Mission Viejo put Westlake out of their misery after a disappointing season. The Diablos get a rejuvenated Long Beach Poly team who lost a game this year 56-0 to Narbonne. But the Jackrabbits got it going again against a weak league schedule. Poly upset a good Bishop Amat team rather handily and present a good test for Mission Viejo.
Last: Def Westlake 42-10
Next: 11/16 Long Beach Poly (8-3)
|17 (4)
|St. Edward (11-1) Lakewood, OH
After beating several teams in the Top 50, St. Edward picked a bad time to lose its first game. How many teams play a team the caliber of Mentor in the second round of their state playoffs. It's what playoffs should be. Unfortunately for St. Edward, they may disagree.
Last: Lost to Mentor 63-56
Next: Season Over
|18 (19)
|Trinity (10-1) Louisville, KY
St. Edward gets 10-1 Mentor; Trinity's first opponent in the playoffs was 1-10. I can't fault the teams for whipping the teams put in front of them, but it makes it hard to find an interesting angle.
Last: Def Madison Central 62-8
Next: 11/16 St. Xavier (8-4)
|19 (20)
|Bishop Gorman (10-1) Las Vegas, NV
See No. 18 Trinity
Last: Def Palo Verde 71-28
Next: 11/16 Centennial (9-2)
|20 (21)
|Don Bosco Prep (7-1) Ramsey, NJ
Bosco's on again off again schedule has not caused them any trouble on the field as the Ironmen kept their focus and beat Hackensack 42-8. St. Augustine Prep brings a lofty record into the game with Don Bosco, but the Ironmen won't feel a real challenge in this one.
Last: Def Hackensack 42-8
Next: 11/16 St. Augustine Prep (7-1)
|21 (22)
American Heritage (10-0) Delray Beach, FL
Heritage won its end of season showdown with Dwyer and should avoid a
letdown against Chaminade-Madonna who is a good team, but not one that
should beat the Stallions.
|Mentor (11-1) Mentor (OH)
Mentor's only loss on the season came to No. 10 St. Ignatius early in the season, but the Cardinals were relatively untested going into the playoffs. Mentor got into a track meet with No. 4 St. Edward, and when all was said and done, it was the Cardinals that had run past Ohio's No. 1 team. No rest for the weary in the Buckeye State though, St. Ignatius is waiting.
Last: Def No. 4 St. Edward 63-56
|23 (14)
|Camden County (9-1) Kingsland, GA
I can hear the fans who have been screaming about Camden County's lackluster 3-AAAAA schedule all the way in California. The Wildcats drop the second of back to back tough road games in its new region but still win 1-AAAAAA by virtue of beating Lowndes last week. A loss heading into the playoffs to regain focus isn't always a bad thing.
Last: Lost to Colquitt County 13-12
Next: 11/16 Hillgrove (6-4)
|24 (24)
|Byrnes (11-1) Duncan, SC
Byrnes had it rolling against Spring Valley and get a team with a 5-7 record in the second round of the playoffs.
Last: Def Spring Valley 51-21
Next: 11/16 Spartanburg (5-7)
|25 (25)
|Miami Central (7-2) Miami, FL
Miami Central dispatched of North Miami Beach in its last regular season game and will do the same to Archbishop McCarthy in its first playoff game.
Last: Def North Miami 52-28
Next: 11/16 Archbishop McCarthy (7-3)
|26 (26)
|Allen (9-1) Allen, TX
You have to give it to Texas; they let nearly everyone into the playoffs, but a team has to win six grueling games to win a State Championship. Let the second season in the Lone Star State begin.
Last: Def Plano 35-34
Next: 11/16 Richardson (4-6)
|27 (27)
|McGill-Toolen (11-0) Mobile, AL
McGill-Toolen played the meat of its schedule earlier in the season, but the Yellow Jackets have not let down and will host a very good Auburn (High School) team this week.
Last: Def Enterprise 56-33
Next: 11/16 Auburn (10-1)
|28 (28)
|Washington (9-1) Miami, FL
Washington blew out Southridge last week. The Tornadoes will blow out North Broward Prep this week.
Last: Def Southridge 35-6
Next: 11/16 North Broward Prep (4-5)
|29 (30)
|Hoover (11-0) Hoover, AL
Hoover has been playing great all year and Shades Valley was no match for the Bucs. Pell City won't be either.
Last: Def Shades Valley 38-7
Next: 11/16 Pell City (7-5)
|30 (31)
|Skyline (11-0) Sammamish, WA
I wonder if anyone will play Skyline within 30 in the playoffs. Can we pit Skyline against Bellevue in a best of three so they have some interesting games in Washington?
Last: Def Lake Stevens 42-0
Next: 11/16 Roosevelt (8-3)
|31 (32)
|Bentonville (10-0) Bentonville, AR
Bentonville earned a bye in the first round and will kickoff the playoffs this week against a good West Memphis team.
Last: Bye
Next: 11/16 West Memphis (8-3)
|32 (33)
|Skyline (9-1) Dallas, TX
Skyline averaged better than 50 points per game over the last month. The road is about to get tougher; just not this week.
Last: Def Berkner 63-20
Next: 11/16 Plano (5-5)
|33 (34)
|Ensworth (11-0) Nashville, TN
Ensworth beat Montgomery Bell Academy 35-7 earlier this year and will get another shot to heap more punishment on them this week in the second round of the playoffs.
Last: Def McCallie 37-7
Next: 11/16 Montgomery Bell Academy (9-3)
|34 (35)
|Oscar Smith (10-1) Chesapeake, VA
Oscar Smith tuned up for this week's showdown with Salem by beating Bayside 35-12.
Last: Def Bayside 35-12
Next: 11/16 Salem (10-1)
|35 (36)
|Narbonne (11-0) Harbor City, CA
Narbonne won't be challenged until they meet up with Crenshaw in the City-Section Finals. Then it will come down to the politics in California to decide if Narbonne should play another game. Politics, California, what could go wrong?
Last: Def Locke 57-14
Next: 11/16 Garfield (6-5)
|36 (37)
|Carroll (9-1) Southlake, TX
Carroll continues to pole-axe opponents last week, but the Dragons should get a better test this week against Arlington Martin.
Last: Def Haltom 56-17
Next: 11/16 Arlington Martin (7-3)
|St. Bonaventure (10-1) Ventura, CA
The Seraphs should have been in this pole some time ago. I moved St. Bonaventure ahead of No. 39 St. John Bosco in my regional poll (link) some time ago. St. Bonaventure is a two-point conversion away from beating a full strength Santa Margarita team that was ranked in the Top 5 before losing quarterback Johnny Stanton. The Seraphs have a powerful running game led by Arizona commit Zachary Green, and a quarterback in sophomore Ricky Town who is poised beyond his years. Bonney gets a chance to avenge that loss this week.
Last: Def Cabrillo 39-7
|38 (38)
|Mesquite (10-0) Mesquite, TX
The Skeeters finished their regular season two weeks ago; a good plan considering the state playoffs in Texas can last six weeks.
Last: Idle
Next: 11/16 Sasche (8-2)
|39 (39)
|St. John Bosco (7-4) Bellflower, CA
Not all teams in California make the playoffs because of their record; some are chosen by a committee. St. John Bosco was 10-0 on the field, but their first round opponent in the 1st round of the Pac-5 playoffs was one such team chosen by committee. The committee chose wrong. This week's opponent Notre Dame is there on merit and has been playing as well as anyone in the Southern Section the last month.
Last: Def Tesoro 38-17
|40 (40)
|Gilman (8-2) Baltimore, MD
Gilman took care of McDonogh last week and will get Calvert Hall again this week. Gilman beat Calvert Hall 24-14 on 10/22.
Last: Def McDonogh 20-8
Next: 11/17 Calvert Hall (9-2)
|41 (41)
|Coppell (10-0) Coppell, TX
Like most of the top teams in Texas, Coppell should have little trouble with their first round opponent MacArthur.
Last: Def Lewisville 41-3
Next: 11/17 MacArthur (7-3)
|42 (42)
|Goose Creek (12-0) Goose Creek, SC
Goose Creek had its way with Conway, but Bluffton presents a much tougher opponent as the Gators move on to the second round of the South Carolina State Playoffs.
Last: Def Conway 48-7
Next: 11/16 Bluffton (11-1)
|43 (43)
|Lincoln-Way East (12-0) Frankfort, IL
Welcome to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Lincoln-Way East and Illinois
are already in the State Semi-Finals. The Griffins flew past
Edwardsville in the quarters and take on a good Benet Academy team in
the fourth round.
|44 (44)
|Norcross (10-0) Norcross, GA
Norcross capped off an impressive regular season with a demolition of a poor Meadowcreek team. The Blue Devils get a solid Chattahoochee squad at home to open the playoffs.

Next: 11/16 Chattahoochee (7-3)

|Paramus Catholic (7-1) Paramus, NJ
Paramus Catholic pummeled Northern Highlands, but the Paladins know not to take Bergen catholic lightly despite the 5-3 record.
Last: Def Northern Highlands 55-7
Next: 11/22 Bergen Catholic (5-3)
|46 (47)
|ThunderRidge (10-1) Highlands Ranch, CO
If St. Edward / Mentor wasn't the game of the week, ThunderRidge/Cherry
Creek was. The Grizzlies may not have been expecting that much fight
from Cherry Creek who entered the game 6-5, but they got nearly more
than they could handle. Grandview will certainly have a focused
ThunderRidge team this week after the Grizzlies nearly saw their season
go up in smoke last week.
|47 (48)
|New Bern (12-0) New Bern, NC
New Bern's regular season schedule left a lot to be desired, but the Bears hung the only loss of the season on New Hanover. New Hanover gets a second shot this week in the 4A quarterfinals against New Bern.
Last: Def Def Hoggard 41-17
Next: 11/16 New Hanover (11-1)
|48 (49)
|Whitmer (12-0) Toledo, OH
If there is such a thing as an easy quarter of the bracket in Ohio's Division 1 Football playoffs, Whitmer might have had the least difficult road to this point. However, 11-1 Washington is the real deal and will give Whitmer fits. Should the Panthers prevail, the winner of St. Ignatius / Mentor awaits.
Last: Def Hudson 39-28
Next: 11/17 Washington (11-1)
|Glenbard West 12-0 Glen Ellyn, IL
The Hilltoppers proved to be better mudders than Wheaton North in a
3-0 game that was played in a Swamp that would have made a Gator proud.
Glenbard West had been averaging nearly 40 points per game on the season
and look to play in better weather against Lake Zurich in the Illinois
State Semi-Finals.
|50 (50)
|Muskegon (11-1) Muskegon, MI
Midland came into its game with Muskegon without a loss and looking for a little respect. They got one of the two. Unfortunately for the Chemics, it was the loss that they got from Muskegon, if not the respect. Next up for the Big Reds is a 10-2 Mattawan team who is coming off of a win against Caledonia.
Last: Def Midland 49-21
Next: 11/16 Mattawan (10-2)
Out: Gateway (PA), Lincoln (FL), Maine South (IL)
In: Mentor (OH), St. Bonaventure (CA), Glenbard West (IL)

I copy the 3 file AjxMsg_fr_FR.properties ZMsg_fr_FR.properties ZmMsg_fr_FR.properties on the /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/msgs/ directory.
I made a chmod zimbra:zimbra on those files.
I restarted my serveur.
On the client side :
I use Firefox2.
I flush the cache.
I connected again to the web interface and :
- most of the client are still in english (in fact i think that everything is still in english exept the calendar)
Did i made something wrong ?
Thx in advance.
J'ai rencontré le meme probleme que toi
Renomme tes fichiers "AjxMsg_fr_FR.properties ZMsg_fr_FR.properties ZmMsg_fr_FR.properties" en enlevant les "_fr_FR" et donc cela vas écrasé les anciens
Ensuite redemarre apache tomcat et le tour est joué, meme avec internet explorer
Bon courage,
Hello, welcome to the forum.
Yes, you did not read the forum nor the wiki.Quote:

thanks for the answer
for not reading the wiki :
It is what i have done :)Quote:
If you want to test your translation on a live ZCS deployment:
1. Copy translated properties files to deployment server
% cp *.properties /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/msgs/
% cp ZsMsg*.properties /opt/zimbra/conf/msgs/
2. Restart Tomcat
% su - zimbra
% tomcat restart
3. Set the language preference in your browser and reload
Ok i try it and post my feed back /
Ok everything work fine
Thx all
Yes, but a couple of lines above, you'll see the "correct" code for French is "fr" and not "fr_FR", it's been changed in the wiki last week iirc 8))Quote:

Très pratique.
I will try tomorow the date zimlet translation.
thx for the tips.
You can download a tar file from http://files.whitehatmail.net/ (enter with invite/invite then go to Zimbra). There you will find a shell script that installs the French files, the date zimlet and the spelling. There is a bug in the spelling though ....Quote:

Hello kitty tokidoki watch
I love my new watch so much. I wear it every day. It is super cute and very durable. It is great for every day use.
So cute!
So cute! But the face is plastic, so I'm always scared it'll get scratched.. It's very comfortable to wear, but I usually wear it with the face in so it doesn't scratch as much.
My sister got this for free as a free gift and gave it to me, so it was worth it for us. I wouldn't pay $50-70 for it though.

Shipping school worth looking into
August 23, 2010
The California Maritime Academy has once again ranked high in the annual US News & World Report and Forbes surveys of the nation's undergraduate colleges and universities.
The Academy, a part of The California State University system, earned a fourth place ranking from US News among Regional Colleges in the West, with the U.S. Air Force Academy taking the top spot in the category. Last year, Cal Maritime was ranked 5th. Forbes magazine's 2010 rankings place the Academy at 284th among the nation's colleges and universities based on the quality of its programs and student feedback on the quality of their educational experiences.
The 2011 USNews survey identified 26 top schools in the western U.S. It's the third straight year that the Academy has finished among the top five schools in the regional rankings. Cal Maritime President William B. Eisenhardt said while such rankings are always popular, they are most useful as a measure of market perception over time, and an independent confirmation that the quality of the University and its programs is being recognized.
"With our focus on marine trade and transportation, engineering and maritime-related business, logistics, security, law and policy, we are a truly unique institution with challenging programs. Students tell us they value the small teacher to student ratios and class sizes and the many opportunities for hands-on learning in classrooms, in cooperative study with business, government and industry and on training cruises aboard our 500-foot Training Ship Golden Bear.
Cal Maritime is one of just seven maritime universities in the U.S. and the only one in the west, serving students from California and the western region, including the Pacific Rim.

Agents: Will charge two men with possession of marijuana
Published: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
Agents with the Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team said they plan to bring charges against two men following an undercover operation that took place Friday afternoon.
According to officials with the team, they received information about drugs being sold from a residence at 2018 NW 14th St. in Ocala. Agents conducted an undercover operation there and gained enough evidence to make an arrest.
Inside the home were Antron Latrell Davis, 30, and Terrill Antonio Brooks, 26. Officials said they will be charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
Authorities said the marijuana was a small amount.
The men were led to patrol cars Friday afternoon, en route to the Marion County Jail for booking.

Autorama Extreme 1953Written by Chuck Vranas on June 7, 2013 A Land Where Time Stands Still
With the 61st Detroit Autorama commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ridler award, there was plenty of excitement felt within the massive confines of Cobo Center. Just when you thought you had seen it all, an escalator ride down to the basement unearthed a portal where you could step back in time. Autorama Extreme 1953 is a show within a show with a totally different feel from that of the brightly lit upstairs where vividly colored dream machines are many times viewed in luxurious surroundings. Once you entered through the doors it was obvious that this wasn't an ordinary car show; in fact, you could swear that the clock stopped in the early '50s. Gone were the high-intensity lights, carpeted and polished concrete floors, replaced by softer old-style lighting and weathered concrete floors showing their age with well-earned cracks. If it felt like a place where hot rodding was born you were pretty close to the truth.
As 100,000 square feet of floor space unfolded before your eyes it was easy to see over 200 traditional hot rods and custom cars laid out in a floor plan without any obstruction of barriers. The organic nature of the presentation allowed visitors to actually feel the vibe that each of the car owners infused into their builds. As you walked through the aisles stopping to admire many of the hammered hot rods, roadsters, slammed customs, and choppers, it was easy to talk with many of the owners who were on hand while adrenalin-fueled music filled the air from bands like the Orbit Suns and Twistin' Tarantula's. Plenty of clubs had a number of vehicles and motorcycles on display, including the Relix, Poor Boys, Lead Kings, Roadents, and Suspects, to name but a few. The basement has also become a favorite time for builders to debut and showcase many of their latest creations, with fresh offerings on the floor from numerous shops including Gas Axe Garage, Brothers Custom Automotive, Jason Graham Hot Rods, and JoKerr Fabrication. Lining many of the walls were countless vendors offering everything from tasty vintage swag to cool shirts, and even swap meet–style speed parts. There were plenty of artists showcasing their talent as well, including Keith Weesner, Ed Tillrock, Scott Fisk, Dan Brown, Chad Lampert, and Kevin Carter, along with many others. You also could have tuned in for the classy pin-up model competition, or stopped and had an old-time haircut. By the time Saturday evening arrived it was time for the custom hand-crafted awards to be handed out from a virtual who's who of the hot rod world, including Chip Foose, Roy Brizio, Gene Winfield, Josh Shaw, George Poteet, and others. The basement show has its own cultural feel, making it a must-see anytime you visit the Autorama!

•••CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Wheeling native Matthew Miller has learned some lessons the hard way that he'll share at The Building Conference at Morgantown's Waterfront Place Hotel from Jan. 31-Feb. 2.
W.Va. native teaches how, and why, to build things that will last
Read an overview of The Building Conference here.WANT TO GO? The Building Conference, Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at The Waterfront Hotel in Morgantown, is $199 for general registration, $99 for AmeriCorps and VISTA volunteers.For details, go here.At age 34 years old, Miller is now a "design/build" instructor at the REALM Charter School in Berkeley, Calif. He has led an eventful life since leaving the state to study architecture at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.He landed a plum job after his degree, helping to design 10,000-square-foot log homes in Jackson Hole, Wyo. He soon ran into a problem, and it was a big one."It was great, but it got old. It wasn't fulfilling at all," he said in a phone interview between teaching classes and building things with his students.He tried a different route. He earned a master's degree in architecture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art outside Detroit, re-directing his design mission to people with a whole lot less money."At that point, my work really became more about working for the powerless, as opposed to working for the powerful," he said. "Going from a client building a 10,000-square-foot third home in Jackson Hole to indigent populations down on the streets of Detroit."His master's thesis was not just words about houses, but an actual house, built with grant funding in 2008."My master's thesis at Cranbrook was a house built on a really blown-out street in Detroit. As opposed to just the design, but the design and building of one single-family home in one of the worst neighborhoods in Detroit."It was a beautiful and generous new direction for his skills, and it ended up a mess not long after the tenants moved in, claiming what should have been a life-changing gift from a well-meaning young architect."The problem with the Detroit project is, it was charity at its worst," Miller said."We gave this house away. Nine months, later we had to evict them. It's a long, long story. From that we've learned that you've got to instill more education if we're going do this kind of design work."That all leads to the topic of his talk at the wide-ranging Building Conference (thebuildingconference.com), an event devoted to the health, design, philosophy and regeneration of the buildings where we live, work, play and learn."That's kind of the gist of my talk at the conference: 'Beyond Charitable Design.' Beyond the charity model," Miller said.The post-Detroit phase of his career included a six-month stint in Uganda, helping to build a school for AIDS orphans. The school was a project of Architecture for Humanity, co-founded by influential designer and community-inspired architecture guru Cameron Sinclair, also a keynote speaker at The Building Conference.After he returned to the states, Miller taught architecture, including stints at the Rhode Island School of Design.He met his business partner, Emily Pilloton, who founded a "design for change" effort called Project H Design. They collaborated on their Studio H school model of teaching "dirt-under-your-fingernails" design and construction skills, initially to youth in rural Bertie County, North Carolina."She and I developed this program to dive a little more deeply into education and design. Into sort of empowering communities through youth, as opposed to kind of helicoptering in and offering design solutions without offering any education," Miller said.After they lost a key supporter and funding in North Carolina, they found a new home at the REALM Charter School along San Francisco Bay."Basically, it's kind of a design and construction and community outreach course curriculum that at the moment we're teaching to high school sophomores. We teach design thinking and then the construction skills necessary to sort of see some of those designs through."His students are in the midst of a two-month-long design-and-build project that will produce concrete outdoor furniture at the school."We're talking about ergonomics and the material itself. Through that process, they're learning about concrete and how to pour concrete. Right now, they're building foam and wood forms and we'll pour concrete next week."Miller sums up the program this way: "Part design thinking, part vocational construction and always something to do with the community."This kind of learn-and-build work is especially suited to rural communities, as it leaves behind useful structures that townsfolk take ownership in, Miller said. "The Studio H program works really, really well in a rural community. It's easier to get buy-in from a community on a very broad scale."The charity model works top down -- I come in, I offer design work, I pay for it, I walk away. There's no ownership from those who it was given to. Again, that was the problem in Detroit."In Windsor, N.C., they fashioned a 2,000-square-foot farmers market, designed and built by more than 100 local students and attracting about 30 initial vendors, he said."We walked away two years later because our funding disappeared. The farmers market is [still] thriving because of that ownership and the stake the community has in that project," he said. "For me, to go back 10 or 20 years from now and look at that building and say I had a hand in doing this: fine. But for the kids to go back in 10 years and show their family and say 'Look, I built this!' -- that has so much more impact on the community at large."Along the way, Project H students learn larger lessons than how to shape concrete, he said."It comes to an ability to question their surroundings and not just accept the things they're told to accept from all the media they're bombarded with every day."To question their context and be critical of it and be critical of what they're being fed, but also be critical of themselves -- how they operate and live their lives. That's 'design sensibility' to me.""'I'm my best and worst critic' -- that's what I want them to pick up on because ultimately they have the power to change their surroundings. They have the power to change everything."Just because he and his partner are teaching design, Miller added, "I'm not trying to send these kids to design or architecture school. Because I'm teaching them a table saw doesn't mean I want them to be carpenters."It's simply giving them the skill to be better prepared when they enter the stage of adulthood and reality: how to operate, how to be critical and progressive."Contemporary kids also need every chance they can to be physical, he said."It's easy for them to pick up that cellphone and stare at it until the battery dies. And they will until you offer them something else. As soon as you put a tool in their hands, a reason to be physical and active, as soon as you do that, they're super engaged."I feel like we're on to something with this hands-on stuff. Since the 1950s, vocational education has slowly been pulled out of the public school system."Miller seems to have quelled some of the demons that bedeviled his earlier work."Every day, I'm sort of vindicated in a way, because I know this work is important," he said.He hopes young designers and educators, specifically, will take inspiration from his Morgantown talk."I think what an educator might take out of it is, it's OK to talk vocation again. And it's OK to put them in front of tools again. And it's OK to look outside the walls of academia and high school and engage with the community and work with these kids."He also sounds enthusiastic about the Studio H model working in a predominantly rural place like his home state. He left West Virginia at age 18 and has been eager to return and share what he has learned along the way."For the past decade or so, I've been trying to get back to West Virginia and do this type of work. I haven't had that opportunity. I'm kind of hopeful this will lead to something."Reach Douglas Imbrogno at email@example.com or 304-348-3017.

CANTON -- This weekend in Canton, there are some signs to ignore and others to pay close attention to.
Tiffani Walker says, "We're expecting more excitement than last year."
When last year's Hall of Fame Game was cancelled during the lockout, people like Tiffani Walker didn't sell nearly as much of her self-proclaimed 'delicious' chili.
But with the game a "go" for this year, in the next three days, between the hot dogs and the parking, she will rake in about $2,000.
Tiffani Walker tells Channel 3 News, "Hey, we're out here 12 to 14 hours a day and we want to get something out of this. We give away love and happiness...so the money has got to be ours."
Local businesses do well too, with thousands of out-of-towners around.
But for locals like Kenny Bellinger, when the induction ceremony takes over Canton, it means football is back and so are the Browns.
Kenny Bellinger said, "Browns just got sold to somebody that might like football. It's an exciting time of year."
And while former owner Randy Lerner dines here tonight for the Gold Jacket Dinner -- to honor footballs past -- the patio dinner crowd has their mind on its future.
Kenny Bellinger echoes, "Hopefully with Lerner going over to his soccer team, and us here with a team that he didn't want ..hopefully the new guy who looks impressive...makes it."
And for Tiffani, the only thing she wants to make is money.
And it's almost game time.
Tiffani Walker said, "I said today when we got up, oh god I'm not ready for all this craziness. But as we got set up and everything -- I'm prepared. I'm ready."


text: FAQ - Hands Beauty Tutorials Tips and Techniques Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet FAQ Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet Men Teen I have been giving myself manicures at home and lately I've noticed my nails have been peeling and splitting. Am I doing something wrong? While prepping your nails to care for your cuticles before filing, do you soak them? This could be the culprit. Soaking your nails causes them to expand when they are wet and shrink as they dry causing nails to peel, split and break when you file them. Instead try applying a cuticle cream or oil to cuticles to soften them while maintaining your nail strength. If this does not apply to you, perhaps you have an allergy to formaldehyde, an ingredient in nail hardeners and some nail polishes. Other possible causes could be acetone polish removers; which dry out the nail plate. If you are still experiencing splitting and peeling, it could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency such as a lack of calcium, minerals or essential fatty acids. Try to avoid acetone removers and nail polish to see if there is an improvement. For a "natural" shiny manicure, try Tweezerman's File, Buff and Shine. Try our sister brand, alessandro, for NailSpa products specifically targeted towards brittle nails with calcium. Looking for nail polish to bring to the salon? Try our 99 color selection from alessandro. How can I prevent my nail polish from chipping? First make sure your nails are completely clean and free of natural oils and lotion so that the polish will adhere to your nails. Begin by wiping them clean with alessandro nail polish remover. Next be sure to always use a base and top coat. We recommend our sister brand, alessandro USA for the longest lasting results. The base coat serves as a foundation for your polish and the top coat protects the polish from daily use. To maximize the length of your manicure, brush the polish and top coat along the nail's top edge, overlapping on the nail's underside to protect the rim of the nail which often bears the brunt of typing, finger tapping, etc. Lastly, remember to always use gloves when working in water or dirt and keep your hands and nails well moisturized to avoid splitting and peeling of the nail. For problems with splitting nails, please visit alessandro USA. What causes a hangnail and what should I do when I get one? A hangnail, that tiny piece of skin along the nail is not only annoying, but can be very painful. Biting your nails, cutting them too short, or picking at your cuticles are all ways you can cause a hangnail. If you get a hangnail, do not bite it off since you might rip the skin and possibly cause infection. It's best to snip the hangnail as soon as it happens. Tweezerman's Squeeze and Snip Hangnail Trimmer, comes with a travel case, so this is a good tool to keep with you if you are prone to hangnails. One of Tweezerman's premium cuticle nippers or cuticles scissors can also do the job. After cutting a cuticle, applying an antibiotic cream is advisable to prevent infection and always try to keep the skin around your nails healthy with vitamin E oil or a good cuticle cream. I love getting manicures at the salon but am nervous about cross contamination. If I bring my own tools, what will I need? Many people who go to the salon for a professional manicure bring their own tools to assure a worry-free visit. The important thing is to bring tools that are of excellent quality so that the nail tech will feel comfortable using them. Tweezerman's Stainless Steel Rockhard Cuticle Nipper and Pushy are popular with nail techs, as are any of Tweezerman's quality clippers, shapers and files.

Ravensburg has remained an old Swabian town bristling with towers behind its rectangular perimeter wall, still well preserved. One enters under the vault of the Obertor, a gateway with stepped gables near the tower called the Mehlsack. At the end of the Marktstrasse is a block of old buildings comprising the Rathaus and the Blaserturm, a square clock tower with a polygonal coping.

The five acres, currently owned by Oakland and Cindy Brosig, might be used as the site for a new road and bridge department facility, according to information listed in the agenda item.
County Commissioner Pete Jauer, who placed the item on the agenda explained that the location is adjacent to State Highway 123 just north of the city limits of Karnes City, across the highway from Swierc Welding.
There is about 115 feet of highway frontage, Jauer exlplained.
"I talked with (Road and Bridge Administrator) Jeffrey (Wiatrek) when I first came into office and he said, 'Find some land for a road and bridge location,'" Jauer said.
"I've been looking for almost two years and this is the only one that I have really gotten a definite chance to buy," Jauer said. "I'm getting some criticism for the price of it, but we can't find land anywhere to buy... This is the best I could find. I realize that $36,000 an acre is a high price, but everything else is going for that."
"It's kind of the going rate in Karnes," County Judge Barbara Shaw said. Shaw also said that County Commissioner James Rosales, who was unable to attend the meeting, asked to let the court know that he supported the purchase of the land.
Commissioner Carl Hummel asked Jauer if any more land was available adjacent to the five acres.
Jauer said there was about six additional acres available behind the site.
"I really thought this property would be for the EMS and Road and Bridge," Jauer said. "EMS really wants to stay at the location in Kenedy."
Commissioner Tracey Schendel asked what the land has been used for.
"It was a landfill," Jauer said.
Schendel said three feet of base material would likely be needed to prepare the site for construction.
"The only thing I want to say is that if you are going to build this building, we don't have anyone to go in it," Schendel said, referring to recent difficulties the county has had filling road and bridge department positions.
County Treasurer Vi Malone questioned the idea of purchasing the land at the proposed price.
"So that is all the land you can find?" Malone asked. "I'm sorry, that is an awful lot of money for that little bitty... Are we really crampt that bad where we have to have that land now? That's my tax dollars that you are talking about and I just would have a very hard time buying five acres for $180,000."
"I know we have a lot of money, but we need to be spending it wisely," Malone said.
Malone asked Wiatrek to comment on the proposed property purchase.
"I know land is expensive now," Wiatrek said. "I don't know which way to go with it."
Wiatrek said the building currently in use is infested with mice, and is becoming more and more difficult to use.
County Auditor Lajuana Kasprzyk said she didn't think the county should purchase all the acreage at the site because that would remove it from the tax roles.
Jauer said there was a need for a public meeting building and he thought part of the land could be used for that purpose.
Commissioner Hummel said five acres may not be enough to meet the current and future needs of the road and bridge department.
"I say we buy this five acres now, and then in five years, when the oil business is gone, we can buy the rest of this at $10,000 per acre," Jauer said.
Jauer made a motion to purchase the five acres at a price of $180,000.
Commissioner Hummel said he needed more time to research the situation before voting.
Commissioner Schendel expressed concerns about the possibility of trash being buried at the site and the added expense that may be required to prepare the site for use by the road and bridge department.
Commissioners Court took no action on the item as Jauer's motion died for lack of a second.

Fernando Verdasco is seeing a lot of upside in his game right now.
The Spanish baller absolutely dismantled Radek Stepanek 6-4, 6-0, 6-0 in the Aussie Open third round hitting 34 winners against only 15 errors and landing 81% of his first serve deliveries. In fact, Nando has lost a measly 12 games in three matches and hasn't dropped a single set - impressive indeed.
The 25-year old attributes his new-found success to some off-season training with heralded fitness trainer Gil Reyes in Las Vegas and dealing with some issues in his personal life:
This year feels very different already. Having so much confidence and being really fit means it is easier to fight harder and to have good feelings in your private life, means you are going to be happier and better to go out and play on the court. It has been tough for me just recently because I have had some problems with the family, my father's uncle has been sick and there have been other situations too and I need to be able to focus on the tennis because that is what I have been fighting all my life to be, a successful tennis player. For sure, though, this is my best moment in tennis but it matters also to me to be a good person because it is a lot easier to play well when you are happy rather than sad and depressed.Was there a hidden reference to Anando in there? He sounds much happier to be focusing solely on his tennis now anyway.
And, it seems at least one half of the former couple got some real training this off-season (or maybe Nando's to blame for stealing Ana's mojo.)
In any case, he's not the only one who's happy the pair finally broke it off:

Wow that sign is making an order not a suggestion.ReplyDelete
Good for Nando. He's hot as ever, but my heart goes out to Ana.ReplyDelete
The commentator said today that Nando is THE womanizer at these Australian Open and even made fun out Nando dumping Ana! (He got the news from his coach) I kinda got the impression that they were making fun of her! Poor Ana! First her games leaves her and now her boyfriend showed her the door... *remembers own break-ups. sobbs*
I hope he can somehow make it to the semis though, 'cause then Rafa can give him the spanking he deserves! [/rant]
- johanneJanuary 24, 2009 at 12:01 PM
I'm so happy for Fern!! His thorough spanking of Radek was both awesome and necessary, as I felt The Worm was up to his old gamesmanship ways during the Sydney final last week. Annoying.ReplyDelete
I'm sure Fern will be bringing his new-found confidence into his match with Murray and I cannot wait to see how that one goes down!!
Btw, that sign is hilarious :)

Nice fins, light and comfortable, not very powerful but low fatigue/muscle strain. Use it for occasional swims in the ocean to stay in line with my pro-swimmer friends (they really ARE pros). For casual snorkeling will work as well. Definitely not freediving or SCUBA diving beyond shallow reefs.

The rubber loop on one of my bio-fin XT got ripped off, I tried gluing it back several times, lasts for couple of dives and than breaks again. So I broke down and bought replacement straps (the fins themselves are built like tank, I think they will last forever!). Straps on the other hand may fail, I got replacement for that case. So far btw my glued loop holds!

There is something amazing happening in the Republican Party today and in just a few paragraphs, I will get to exactly how that involves Nashville's conservative talk show host, Phil Valentine, affectionately referred to by his supporters as "Uncle Phil."
The GOP is struggling to define itself, and it remains to be seen whether it will come out as the (libertarian) Republican Party or the (establishment) Republican Party, whether it will be for liberty and rule-of-law or for bailouts, corporate welfare, and special interests.
Living and participating in Nashville's political scene, I have the opportunity to watch a perfect microcosm of this national party struggle as an exciting narrative unfolds before my eyes- the attempted ousting of Matt Collins, the First Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Nashville-Davidson County.
As a colleague and friend of mine, I can tell you first hand, that Mr. Collins is one of Nashville's and Tennessee's truest patriots, and a perfect example of the most valuable asset the Republican Party has- young, passionate, hard-working, freedom-loving Republican activists.
Just days ago, the Republican Party of Davidson County took the first steps toward removing Matt Collins from his office, citing "unprofessional actions" in the use of his title when expressing opinions "derogatory to and disrespectful of Republican candidates or elected officials."
While I've seen the County Party's distaste for Mr. Collins (mostly because of his support for Republican Congressman Ron Paul) simmer and boil over for months, this most recent controversy broke over Matt's public refusal to shake hands with Rep. Zach Wamp (a candidate for TN Governor) because of Wamp's support for the financial bailouts.
When the battle lines are drawn, it would appear that Mr. Collins is on the right side, and his detractors in the County GOP are on the
wrong left side. The GOP prefers to stand alone with a bailout voter, Zach Wamp. Who is standing with Matt Collins?
Grassroots conservative activists like Chattanooga Tea Party leader, Bryan Haddock, for one. And as we learned on Friday- one of Nashville's favorite conservative talk radio hosts, "Uncle" Phil Valentine, whose conservative credentials are impressive- his work may be the number one reason Tennessee has no income tax despite the push for one a few short years ago.
On his show Friday, Valentine confirmed Matt Collins' political instincts when he interviewed country star, John Rich of Big & Rich- a supporter of Zach Wamp for Governor of Tennessee. Phil said (and you can listen to it here), "if you voted for the bail out, it's time for you to get the hell out!"
He also said of his own preferences for Tennessee's next GOP candidate for governor that he's "narrowed it down to two, one of them ain't Zach" before lamenting that "we're now having to take a 2nd and 3rd look at people that we thought were on our side."
So again, I must ask the Republican Party of Davidson County- on which side of the line do you want to stand? With a bailout voter, on the side of corporate welfare and party over principle? Or with true conservatives like Phil Valentine, many of Tennessee's brave tea party activists, and Matt Collins- on the side of liberty and principle over politics?
This battle is one of many that are happening across the country. Matt's a great guy and I hope for the best as this situation unfolds, but the key thing to remember is that his struggle is emblematic of something bigger- this is a fight over the very heart and soul of the Republican Party itself.
The outcome could drastically alter the future of this great country, for better or for worse.
UPDATE (11:20am Nov 2, 2009):
Rep. Zach Wamp says: "The last thing we need is any more squishy moderates in the state of Tennessee." Um... exactly.
Too bad if you voted for the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street with tax payer money, then you're one of those squishy moderates.

You are being too harsh on Zach. He said he cast a "red, white, and blue collar vote" for the bailout. That is so patriotic it can't be wrong.

Marsha voted for this bail out? Will they ask to get her out?
Economic Stimulus. H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, passed 385-35 on January 29, 2008 (Roll Call 25). It would provide about $150 billion in economic stimulus, including $101.1 billion in direct payments of rebate checks (typically $600) to most taxpayers in 2008 and temporary tax breaks for businesses. Creating money out of thin air and then spending the newly created money cannot improve the economy, at least not in the long term. (If it could, why not create even more money for rebates and make every American a millionaire?) The stimulus has no offset and thus increases the federal deficit by the amount of the stimulus because the government must borrow the rebate money. A realistic long-term stimulus can only be achieved by lowering taxes through less government and by reducing regulatory burdens. Marsha Blackburn voted FOR this bill.(Source: The New American – July 21, 2008)

-- Valdosta, Ga. -- September 9, 2012 --
Nancy Whitfield Dennard is a member of the "Quitman 12." She said
"in January of 2012 we were suspended, myself and two other board members, by the Governor Deal because we had received indictments."
Those indictments were handed down to the Quitman 12, now known as 11 because one of the members has died. They were charged with voter fraud stemming from Brooks County's primary election in July of 2010. Nancy and the 2 other board members were on the board of education.
Leigh Touchton is the Valdosta NAACP President. She said "the three board members were removed from their position by the Governor. It was an executive order by Governor Deal. It's been nearly two years. No trial has been forthcoming. They've not been convicted of anything and yet they were removed from their office."
Because the legal amount of time that allows for a trial and potential verdict has past... That removal was reversed. All three board members were reinstated at the board meeting.
Brad Shealy is the Brooks County Board of Education President. He said "they have all the rights and privileges as any other board member has until the case is disposed of. And you know they're back on here because that's what the law says and we're going to follow the law."
For those that were accused, the reinstatement brought a welcome peace of mind. The individuals that accused the Quitman 12 have not been identified.

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer Wallace faced another pair of opponents last week and once again they saw two very different teams. Thursday night the Wildcats traveled to Big Springs to take on the Blue Knights, a small team in size and numbers, that plays with a lot of heart. Friday, the competition was quite different; the Paxton Tigers have a great deal of size, depth and experience which created a much different game for the Blue and White. Wallace vs Big Springs In game one, Wallace wasted no time getting down to business as they scored 16 points in the opening quarter while holding South Platte to a single basket. The Wildcats used a patient offensive game to get their first quarter points but in the second quarter it was their defensive game that created the points. John Marquardt, Landon Swedberg, Jose Arvizo and Collin Swedberg all got baskets after stealing the ball and taking it down for a lay up. Add a couple of baskets by Lane Scott and additional baskets by Marquardt and Swedberg and Wallace had another 16 points to add to their score. The Wildcats went in at half time with a 32–10 lead. The third quarter looked just like the second as far as scoring was concerned. Wallace once again put 16 points on the board while holding South Platte to eight. Scott continued to have the hot hand as he put up another six points and Landon Swedberg added four. Josh Grauerholz, Collin Swedberg and Hayden Woodcox each contributed a basket as well. At the end of three, the score stood at 48–18. The pace of the game did not let up in the final quarter even with a lot of substitutions. Shane Anders was big on offensive rebounds scoring six of his eight points on put backs. Taylor Doell, Lane Scott and Collin Swedberg each added to their totals by scoring a fourth quarter basket to make the final score 62–26. Landon Swedberg and Lane Scott were leading scorers with 14 and 13 points. Wallace vs Paxton While the ball was bouncing and rolling the right way on Thursday night for the Wildcats, Friday night painted a whole different picture. Wallace struggled getting the ball to the basket and scoring and their defense had a difficult time finding an answer for the very tough Paxton Tiger team but they never stopped battling. The Wildcats started the game fairly competitive, staying right with the Tigers. Josh Grauerholz was able to get the short jumpers in the lane so the offense kept feeding him the ball and he had six points in the opening quarter. Lane Scott and Landon Swedberg were both able to put up four points and John Marquardt added a free throw to account for Wallace's 15 first quarter points Down by six points, the Cats continued to work at getting the short jumper while stepping up the defense. Grauerholz was still the go to guy as he dropped in eight more points. Taylor Doell added a short jumper and one for the second quarter. With little time left on the clock, Wallace had pulled within two of Paxton. The final minute of the half, however, ended up changing the momentum of the game. The Tigers were able to come up with a couple of quick baskets and free throws and by the half time buzzer they were able to turn their two point lead into a 34–26 lead. The third quarter was the roughest for the Wildcats. Paxton's Cody Corfield, could not miss and Wallace could not get anything to fall. The Wildcats were only able to add a Grauerholz jumper and a basket and free throw from Swedberg. The Tigers outscored Cats by 13 points in the third but Wallace was not going away without a fight. The Wildcats started the final quarter scoring the first six points. Grauerholz started out with a free throw then Doell got a put back and a three-pointer and it looked like a come back was in the making but Paxton got their offense rolling. The Tigers did not outscore the Cats but they matched them point for point to keep their 22-point lead. Doell was the fourth quarter shooter for Wallace as he added another trey and jumper to the books. Lane Scott and Tanner Clough were also able to get a basket and Shane Anders a free throw to make the final score 69–47. Josh Grauerholz was the leading scorer for Wallace with 17 points and Taylor Doell had 13.

Wow, that is massive. At least I'm pretty sure my computer would chug out on me. It's funny because it's not a bad setup, few years old but built for pretty hardcore games....and now I realize how much MORE I need for doing the real stuff, creation.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing how this comes out. I played some of those games myself so it's nice to see the maps again. Keep it up!

Mooresville, NC (November 10, 2010) – Initially scheduled to appear as the primary sponsor of the #13 Germain Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entry for 18 races during the 2010 season, GEICO's excitement has grown. After Talladega, the insurance giant decided to add the Texas Sprint Cup Series race and then, after the checkered flag was displayed in Fort Worth last weekend, they began contemplating the balance of the season.
Late yesterday, GEICO called the offices of Germain Racing and announced that they would be picking up primary sponsorship of Casey Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry for the remaining two Sprint Cup Series races, at Phoenix and Homestead. GEICO will also appear as a major associate sponsor on the #30 Toyota Tundra of Todd Bodine, who currently has a firm grasp on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points lead.
When NASCAR arrives in Homestead for NASCAR's season finale, the GEICO Gecko will boast a full schedule. With today's announcement, GEICO will find themselves on three entries when race activities get underway on the Germain family's home turf in south Florida. Aside from the entries of Mears and Bodine, the charming and exciting 'Mad' Max Papis will join his teammates, as he pilots the #9 GEICO Toyota Tundra in his final Truck Series race of the season before embarking on a full-time Truck Series schedule in 2011.
After GEICO announced their sponsorship of the #13 Toyota Camry for Phoenix and Homestead, Mears' face softened and a smile emerged.
"This is great news and I think it says a lot about GEICO's faith and belief in what we're doing here; where we started, where we are and where we're going," Mears said. "We're deeply appreciative of GEICO's continued support. It's been fun to get out there and be competitive every week. Even in Texas where we had a really tough day, maybe the toughest day we've had, we were still able to work hard, stay focused and escape the place with a 26th place finish." He continued, "We have a great team of guys here and the Germain family has great belief in what we're doing, so the atmosphere around the shop is very exciting."
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the 1-mile tri-oval of Phoenix International Raceway for the opening practice session at 2:00 PM (ET) on Friday, November 12th. Qualifying will follow at 5:45 PM (ET).
The Kobalt Tools 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, November 14th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 3:00 PM (ET). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

I have a problem with the outlook address book. It is still present but is not available in the "to" field. Also, int he configuration of the data files the address book seems empty.
This is caused by the following actions. I have moved the zdb files manually. Then I have pointed the configuration to the new location. When opening outlook it just synchronizes everything with the server. But it seems outlook does not know what to do with the address book. Is there a way to fix this?
