Women's Basketball Seeded No. 6, Hosts No. 11 Irvine Valley, Saturday, Mar. 2
Fresh off a 22-6 regular season and a third place finish in the South Coast Conference, the Pasadena City College women's basketball team received the No. 6 seed and will host No. 11 Irvine Valley in Round 2 of the Southern California Regional Playoffs. The Lancers and Lasers, from the Orange Empire Conference, will meet Saturday, March 2 in a 7 p.m. tip-off at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
Pasadena places its perfect playoff record at its home gym on the line at 18-0. PCC is 2-0 in its playoff history v. Irvine Valley. The Lancers posted their largest margin ever in a playoff win against visiting IVC in 2003 when they beat the Lasers, 94-54. They also met in 2010 with PCC winning, 76-55. Both games were played at the HP-Gym.
Irvine Valley (20-10) finished in a tie for second place in the OEC with Riverside City College. PCC and IVC met previously in the second game of the season when the Lancers eeked out a 47-46 victory over Irvine Valley in the second round of PCC's season-opening Veteran's Classic Tournament.
In that contest, PCC reserve center Briana Simmons came through with a basket with 3:40 remaining that gave the Lancers the lead for good at 45-44. Sophomore guard Stella Ghazarian led the Lancers with 11 points while Irvine Valley was paced by 13 points from Dominique Santos.
The Lancers are in Bracket No. 4 of the 18-team regionals and if they defeat IVC, they will advance to Round 3 to face the winner of the No. 3 Mt. San Jacinto v. No. 14 Cuesta matchup (March 1) on Wednesday, March 6.

Destruction is not an Economic Gain
As we were all watching the damage from the 8.9 earthquake that rattled Japan on Friday, our former Economic Advisor to the President, Larry Summers, claimed that such a devastating tragedy would be good for the economy.
In a short interview with CNBC he stated, "It may lead to some temporary increments, ironically, to GDP, as a process of rebuilding takes place." Suggesting that the rebuilding efforts would create more value to the economy than the loss of value from the destruction. This type of statement surprises me that Summers didn't burn his own house down after the economy tanked.
Summers needs to go back and reread Frederic Bastiat's parable of the broken window. Here it is abridged:
"Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James B., when his careless son happened to break a square of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact, that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation—"It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?"
"...Now let us consider James B. himself. In the former supposition, that of the window being broken, he spends six francs, and has neither more nor less than he had before, the enjoyment of a window.
"In the second, where we suppose the window not to have been broken, he would have spent six francs on shoes, and would have had at the same time the enjoyment of a pair of shoes and of a window.
"Now, as James B. forms a part of society, we must come to the conclusion, that, taking it altogether, and making an estimate of its enjoyments and its labours, it has lost the value of the broken window.
"Whence we arrive at this unexpected conclusion: "Society loses the value of things which are uselessly destroyed;" and we must assent to a maxim which will make the hair of protectionists stand on end—To break, to spoil, to waste, is not to encourage national labour; or, more briefly, "destruction is not profit"...
"The reader must take care to remember that there are not two persons only, but three concerned in the little scene which I have submitted to his attention. One of them, James B., represents the consumer, reduced, by an act of destruction, to one enjoyment instead of two. Another under the title of the glazier, shows us the producer, whose trade is encouraged by the accident. The third is the shoemaker (or some other tradesman), whose labour suffers proportionably by the same cause. It is this third person who is always kept in the shade, and who, personating that which is not seen, is a necessary element of the problem. It is he who shows us how absurd it is to think we see a profit in an act of destruction. It is he who will soon teach us that it is not less absurd to see a profit in a restriction, which is, after all, nothing else than a partial destruction. Therefore, if you will only go to the root of all the arguments which are adduced in its favour, all you will find will be the paraphrase of this vulgar saying—What would become of the glazier, if nobody ever broke windows?"
Japan has lost a great deal of capital and now following the quakes Japan will expend a great deal of effort cleaning up and just trying to get back to where they were. Without the destruction Japan would have continued producing various other goods with their labor.
If you are interested in helping the Red Cross is doing a great deal of work and the Guardian has a list of other organizations collecting funds.

Anatomy of the Stomach
The stomach is a J-shaped organ in the upper abdomen that makes up part of the digestive system. It is located between the end of the esophagus and the beginning of the first part of the small bowel (the duodenum).
The stomach is much like a bag with a lining. The lining contains these 5 layers:
Mucosa. The first and innermost layer, the mucosa, holds the glands that release digestive juices, called hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
Submucosa. The second layer, the submucosa, supports the mucosa. It is rich in blood vessels.
Muscularis. The third layer, the muscularis, contains muscles that help to mix food with the digestive juices.
Subserosa. This layer contains supporting tissues for the serosa.
Serosa. The serosa is the last and outermost layer. It is the lining that wraps around the stomach to confine it.
After food has been chewed and swallowed, it enters the stomach from the food pipe (esophagus). At this point, pepsin and hydrochloric acid are released and the muscles in the stomach lining create a rippling motion, which combines the food with the digestive juices. After about 2 to 3 hours, partially digested food moves into the small intestine, where it is broken down further and absorbed into the body.

Comments about GoFit_ GoFit 25 LB Premium Kettle Bell with Introductory Training DVD:
Everything that you have been promised in exercise equipment in one small package. Don't let the simplicity of a kettlebell mislead you. The kettlebell really does work the full body. Not only in the obvious way of lifting and swinging but working muscles some other devices don't get close to. The benefits are: an increase in core and limb strength, flexibility and a full aerobic workout. And you only need one!
The offset design of the kettlebell requires use of smaller supporting muscles that stablize the limbs and body. Try it and you'll feel the difference immediately. You'll also develop a real respect for what it does and the effort it gets from you.
The accompanying DVD is very clear and professionally produced. It's all you need to get a good start. Again, don't be misled, the 34 min. running time works you through every step of the beginning exercises that will keep you working for a few weeks to get proficient. By then you will have noticed increased muscle tone, stamina and strength.
A word about quality. I've compared makes and this is the best. The smooth metal handle is easy on your hands and a perfect size grip. The dipped vynl covering is attactively colored and easy on the floor, furniture, kids, whatever. It's almost decorator styled. Cool!

Pretty one! Im looking forward to see what you're doing with it...
Pretty one! Im looking forward to see what you're doing with it...
Nice. Out of interest, how long did it take you?
THW might be hard to say 4 hours, little less than 5 hrs the way it stands. did the pencil rough in 15 minutes or so, then a couple hours last night and a couple this morning with the inkwork.
That's a nice result for 5 hours work. I used to be able to do that, but I'm out of practice, now. Might try dusting down some old hand-drawn stuff and getting back into the drawing habit.
I'm not happy with the way the town with the tower symbol or the one to the lower left are stylized with the hatch. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make these larger towns look a little nicer at this scale? THW ah looking at your stuff you should be back in the groove in about 5 minutes, break those pencils out!!
Added more bits and pieces of the mountain ranges and woodlands, bout an 1 hour while drinking morning coffee . More swamp things to come, Oh yea! LOL. Open to suggestions for techniques, as usual this is a learning experience for me, so whatever I can do to improve I'm up for it. I may do the text thing in PS to try some text on paths.
Nice job so far Vellum!
Vellum, I've got two suggestions for alternatives to the cross-hatching over those towns. First, you could try what I did on Darenko and Reptinse - i.e. a simplified street layout (in which case I'd suggest letting the streets be white and the blocks black, but I don't know if this would work on a hand-drawn map. The other possibility is a stippled style. I developed a style years ago which I think might look good on this. The example below is from my original experiments.
Hope those suggestions give you some ideas. Also that compass rose is intriguing. It will look great once it's inked in.

Update: Today some more details and pictures surfaced on the PlayStation Phone, including the following to quote from Engadget.com:
"Furthermore, the handset pictured is running Android 2.2, though apparently there are multiple devices out there with different versions on board (including at least one packed with Android 3.0). Based on what we know, there's little chance the phone will launch with Froyo -- but it's clear these have been worked on for some time with various versions of the OS.
The device appears to have an 8GB microSD card slotted, and at least 512MB of internal storage (though we're hoping it's the 1GB we've heard would be present). As you can see from the pictures in the gallery below, the device isn't exactly thin -- we surmise that the handset is around 17mm thick, or slightly thicker than HTC's Touch Pro 2 (and funnily enough, about the same as the PSPgo)."
Today Engadget.com (linked above) has unveiled what is being called the PlayStation Phone alongside some leaked pictures.
There have been numerous reports of a PSP Phone in development, so in a similar fashion to the PS3 Slim news of a PlayStation Phone comes as little surprise to many.
To quote: "The device is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches.
Looking almost identical to the mockup we hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch, and you can see in the photos that it's still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons.
For Sony buffs, you'll be interested to know that there's no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards.
The particular model in these shots is still in prototyping mode. As such, the unit doesn't have a custom skin (not even SE's Timescape design seen on the Xperia devices), and is said to be rather buggy.
We're digging into more facts as we speak, but it's likely that much of what we reported earlier is still accurate, and though the device could still be headed for a 2010 release, 2011 is looking much more realistic."

My Dad used to have a sporting goods/gun shop for years in Calif. (sold it in 1975) I used to work in it PT from the time I was about 12 until he sold it. Started just sweeping, dusting and windows. He used to drill into me "The customer is right (not always!) and help/suggest if asked.
I remember men coming in wanting to buy a "self defense" gun for their wives. First thing I would ask is "Are you and your wife willing to kill an intruder or do you just want to scare them?" If they said...just scare them, I would tell them to go get a baseball bat and don't buy a gun. Then if they could get by the question and really wanted/needed a gun, I would tell advise them not to but a "pea shooter", buy something big enough to get the job done. I usually suggested a shotgun, not a hand gun. Easy to shoot and the person shot usually doesn't get up! Probably overkill, but surely got the job done.
Point is that not everyone is educated enough to really know what they need. But this can only be discussed at their suggestion! In the situation mentioned, the salesman was way out of line...IMHO!

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
I used a Rem 7 mag for many yrs. on everything up to elk. Never had a problem with under or over kill as long as I did my part.
Been shooting a 300 RUM for many yrs now and the same thing. I love it. I use it for everything and like extra everrything. I shoot almost exclusively Barnes TTSX and TSX. They are most accurate out of my rifle and drop lopes,deer and elk DRT. The only other caliber I have killed any big game with was a .243 on an antelope buck at about 100 yds. with a partition. It dropped DRT also.
I like overkill unless it's blowing a couple pounds of meat away. That salesman knew nothing. Probably never shot anything.
Stick with what you shoot best.
A tsx passing through is going to cause a wee bit of hydrostatic shock. Shot a bunch of 100gr out of a 257Roy @ 3700 at small critters and they react like water filled milk jugs = FUBAR. Might not expand for the exits, but the soft tissue is obliterated.
If you don't hunt anything bigger than deer. The .270 with a 130gr bullet is perfect. If you don't shoot past 150yds. A 30-30 might be even better.
I think your just fine with your 300. If your comfortable with it and shoot it well go for it. Just my personal opinion the main thing is putting the bullet in the boiler room. If you shoot a 338 and can't put the bullet in the boiler room then what good does it do you no matter what the species.
No such thing as killing something too dead! Especially in Colorado where an elk that does not hit the "ground graveyard dead" will provide lots more shooting and tagging opportunities for every hunter within hearing distance. Kill 'em where they stand.

I think the .300 WSM is a great hunting caliber especially for hunting out west.. I use it for antelope and mule deer. I shoot 150 grain Accubonds. For whitetail hunting in my home state of MO, I use a .358 Winchester. I like big calibers.

When running Outlook with Exchange, it seems that the information in Outlook's infobar ("You replied on $DATE", "You replied on") is synchronised with the Exchange server. So, if you're running Outlook on both your laptop and PC, these messages are synchronised across.
However, when running Outlook with Zimbra (using the ZCO), this information appears to only be kept locally, and isn't synchronised with the Zimbra server or with other Outlook clients.
Am I missing an option somewhere?
If this isn't an option, it would be great to get an "infobar" into the Zimbra web UI, as well as have ZCO keep it synchronised.

Black bear spotted in Ormond Beach neighborhood
Increase in bear sightings has neighbors on alert
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - (AP) -- Florida wildlife officials say a young black bear is wandering in the Ormond Beach area.
Officials say the bear spotted by residents on Wednesday is likely the same one seen last week in nearby Holly Hill.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Greg Workman told the Daytona Beach News-Journal biologists have been tracking the bear through calls coming into the office. There is so much activity in the area that the bears are climbing trees, which is the normal instinct.
He says it's the time of the year that female bears are kicking their yearlings out. So they are "wandering and trying to establish their own home ranges."
This year the agency has had 236 calls about bears in Volusia County.
Residents are urged to keep garbage inside.

piece of advice
NEVER go to slybaldguys forum.
these guys are NUT jobs.
they think
+ EVERY guy looks better sly, than hair, qoute "think about it, when was the last time you saw someone with hair then bald and thought he looked better with hair?" < this is the mentality of the place.
+ Joe satriani looks MUCH better bald (serisouly wtf)
+ michael stipe looks MUCH better bald (again wtf)
most forums go on about how amazing michael stiped looked with hair, and how terrible he looks bald (or at least ok), certainly not FAR GREATER bald.
they go around saying how great it is to be bald, and how they LOVE it, 80% of the users look like they could do with hair.
i think these guys have phycoligcal problems, baldnes is OK at best, can be good on others, but to make claims that every guy looks better bald and that joe satraini looks MUCH better sly, i mean that is just retardation, im sure HE would even say i looked at least better with hair.

Hey! Awesome forum. It have helped me extremely much.
I am born in 1987. First noticed my balding at the low age of 18... Every single male on my fathers side of family is balding, most NW4+. I dont know so much on my mothers side, but those i seen have balded pretty muuch too. My own father is a very diffuse NW2. 1 - 0 in genes favour so far...
I was in denial the first years until i got to the age of 21. Wherever i styled my hair i had 200+ hairs in the sink so it was etremely aggressive. My temple was in an aggressive v shape and it was diffuse lot all over expt my crown. Tested a crap remedy that did not work until i found this site at age 22. 2 - 0 to genes for the crap that did not work!
To be continued... Pics and regimen longer down!
Before ANYTHING. The hair is long, and look at my god damn temples and you can see the diffuse.
[attachment=4:3w2apfmh]Before ANYTHING.jpg[/attachment:3w2apfmh]
1 Year after. Used NISIM. Still shedded a lot, all it did was giving the hair a nice look. Did nothing to MPB. Its long here so it covers the temples somewhat
[attachment=3:3w2apfmh]After 1 year on crap, before official regimen.JPG[/attachment:3w2apfmh]
Short hair in strong light. Dated 7th June 2010

Ford F-1 Sheet Metal Bed Repair - Bed TimeWritten by on June 1, 2009 Sorting Out The Bed Sheet Metal On An F-1
One of the largest and most prominent aspects of a classic truck is that protuberance that is flanked by the rear fenders and is what makes a truck a truck. Of course we're talking about the business end of a truck, the bed. Unfortunately, this is also one of the most abused portions of any truck. Finding a classic truck with a decent bed is seemingly impossible these days, but fortunately there are numerous companies out there that offer many choices when it comes to fixing problematic areas. From complete bed kits to individual pieces, it's easier than ever to make that hammered bed as good as new.
When we originally tore into the bed on our F-1 project, it seemed to be pretty decent save for a couple areas around the stake pockets. But as we really got into it, it became apparent that there was more damage than a little hammer-and-dolly work was going to fix. For starters, the rear stake pockets had a handful of extra holes for who knows what, and the rear sill panel had two sections that had been torched out to clear a custom bumper. Fixing these problems alone called for a number of patch panels to be fabricated and installed, not to mention the metalwork that was just not possible due to the inability to reach certain areas. Additionally, the front header panel had been drilled out and bolted back together in a rather archaic manner.
The solution to our problem was to contact National Parts Depot (NPD) and order up a new pair of rear stake pockets, rear sill panel, and front header panel to replace the damaged parts. This allowed us to completely removed the damaged sections and replace them with brand-new pieces.
While this seems like an easy fix, it's actually pretty laborious. The stake pockets and rear sill panel are spot-welded to the bed sides from the factory, which requires them to be drilled out before any repairs can be made. This task is eased by a tool sold by NPD called a Spotweld Cutter. Mounted in a drill, the Spotweld Cutter broaches a 3/8-inch hole in the panel, effectively cutting out the spot weld. Once all the welds are cut out, the stake pockets and rear sill panel can be removed from the bedsides. The 3/8-inch holes are used to effectively spot-weld the new stake pockets to the bedsides, resulting in a factory appearing repair. After the welding is completed, a die grinder knocks the weld down flush with the bed side.
Although the removal and installation of the stake pockets is fairly labor intensive, the new parts yield a much cleaner appearance than what could have been achieved by repairing the original pieces. It also allows the bed to be squared up relative with the tail gate so the final fit and finish of the back side of our truck will be much better than the original. This will also make installing the new bed wood kit next month much easier, so stay tuned!

With the wood gone, the bed is bolted back onto the chassis so that the original stake pockets and rear sill panel can be disassembled. Note the damage on the lower portion of the left stake pocket and the rear sill panel.Years of abuse have taken their toll on the stake pocket area of the bedsides, especially around the top. Here, you can see where the sheetmetal has split and cracked.The right stake pocket was the worst of the two and has seen better days. There should only be three holes in this area for the tailgate hinge and taillight bracket.The rear sill panel supports the back of the bedsides; before it can be removed, the sides need to be properly supported. Here, 3/4-inch spacers are used to maintain the relationship between the cross sills and bedsides in lieu of the wood floor.The stake pockets and rear sill attach to the bedsides with factory spot welds that need to be cut out in order to remove them. NPD sells Spotweld Cutters in a variety of sizes for just such a task; we're using 3/8-inch for this application. These are used with a drill and cut out the spot weld quickly and easily.
Once the stake pocket is removed, there isn't anything to support the rear portion of the bedside, hence the spacers installed earlier. Note how wavy the bedside is in the stake pocket area.The damaged sheetmetal area of the bedside can now be worked using a hammer and dolly since the stake pockets are no longer in the way. This gets the bedside nice and straight before the new stake pockets are installed.The area where the spot welds were cut out has been ground down to bare metal in preparation for the new pocket to be installed and welded into place.The rear sill panel can also be removed once the stake pockets are cut free. A new pair of rear mounts are bolted to the chassis; these will bolt up to the rear sill to support the back of the bed. At this point, we disassembled the bed and decided to sandblast the bedsides, tailgate, and crossmembers before going forward. The front header panel was pretty beat, so it was set aside and a replacement panel was picked up from NPD.
With the pieces back from the blasters, the first task is to bolt the crossmembers to the chassis. Note the use of anti-squeak pads between the frame and the crossmembers.The bed sides are spaced off the crossmembers once again to ensure that everything goes back together properly.With the bedsides in bare metal and bolted up with the correct relationship between each crossmember and the rear sill assembly, we're almost ready to install the new stake pockets.Before doing so however, the tailgate is temporarily installed and the bedsides squared up to retain their proper dimensions.Once everything looks good, the tailgate is removed and the stake pockets are tacked in place. By using the holes created by the spot-weld cutter, the new stake pockets can be welded to the bedsides and the holes filled at the same time.
A die-grinder with a narrow cut-off wheel is used to quickly knock the weld down. When and if doing this, make absolutely sure you "stop" once the weld bead is almost flush with the sheetmetal-otherwise, you've ruined the weld's purpose.The rear portion of the bed is nice and straight and the damaged areas around each stake pocket have been repaired. Save for the hammered tailgate, our F-1 bed is really starting to look good and we're ready for the initial installation of the wood kit.The top of the bedside is looking much better now and with a light skim of body filler, it will be good as new.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A 30-year-old man has been indicted on a murder charge in the shooting death of another man outside a Waterville bar last year.
Matthew Partridge from Winslow was indicted Friday by a Kennebec County Grand Jury. Partridge is charged with murder in the shooting death of 26-year-old Justin Smith from China. The shooting happened December 4th outside of the You Know Who's Pub in Waterville.
Partridge is accused of shooting Smith in the face after a fight broke out between two groups of men.
Patridge's attorney has said he was acting in self-defense.
On the night of the shooting, Partridge fled the scene in a pickup truck. A short time later, police spotted a truck matching the description that was given to them, and Partridge was arrested without incident on Route 8 in Smithfield.
Partridge is being held at the Kennebec County Jail on $700,000 cash bail. He is due in court next month.

Somebody please help me!
I am trying to migrate our institute's group calendar to Zimbra calendar and hit some walls here. Our old calendar system uses another program which uses Postgres database to hold all calendar info and there is no way to export the date to zimbra directly. I tried to reformat the data to ical format and used curl command to post data directly to zimbra. For single appointments it is alright. But for meetings I seemed not linking all attendees to the organizer unless I login to zimbra as the organizer, open the meeting and re-save the meeting then all the attendees will get the invitation email After attendee accepted the meeting then it will appear in the attendee's calendar. We have more than 200 people in our institute and this is definitely not the right way to migrate a calendar. My supervisor thinks using soap may help. I have been looking at the examples using perl/soap module on the /ZimbraServer/src/perl/soap/ and have some difficulty to run the sample script createAppt.pl. I have installed all required modules on the server and run "perl createAppt.pl $meetingTitle $startdate enddate". But no matter what format of startdate and enddate I tried I always get the error
<ns0:Fault xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<ns0:Text>invalid request: Caught ParseException: java.text.ParseException: Invalid date/time specified: 2007-09-27T12:00:00</ns0:Text>

Have any of you tried this successfully and what is the date format you used? Thanks in advance,

As a brand, Visvim has steadily gained a phenomenal reputation through its marriage of quality and design. Therein, what is particularly striking about the label is its ongoing interest in harboring the best (and often most obscure) methods of production. Transversing the globe in search of the right materials, creative director Hiroki Nakamura partners with small, segregated outfits of traditional craftspeople to supply specific components of his lines. Recently, he has sourced hand woven ramie fabric from individual artisans in Fukushima prefecture, integrated all natural dyes from an indigo master in Tokushima, and relied on vegetable tanned equine leather from a family-owned tannery in Chicago – all within the last year.
Suffice it to say, Nakamura has relied on the same M.O. to capture the legacy of his brand in this 152-page assemblage. For this piece, he teamed up with Japanese bookbinders to create a limited run of hand made books to outline the visual story of Visvim. "Dissertation on Self-Verification" is a collection of images which either inspired or captured choice pieces throughout the last decade. Invoking a tradition dating back to the 7th Century CE, the outside cover is lined with washi paper made from locally harvested kozo bark. With a final contemporary touch, the book includes several interviews with Nakamura as well as two original DVDs which delve deep into the creative world behind his label.
Yet while it is an interesting case study of a particular brand's evolution, the real allure of the book lies in the attention paid to the creative process itself. Any interview can offer insight into the trials and tribulations of a designer turned entrepreneur, but there is no replacement for interacting directly with the visionary spirit. Sometimes, it pays more to see something blossom. Even if you aren't familiar with the brand, it's worth taking a look through the gallery.

If Robert Downey Jr. can inject his own quirky style into detective Sherlock Holmes, John Cusack can certainly have free rein to do anything he'd like with macabre author Edgar Allan Poe. And so he does.
The falling down of "The Raven" isn't Cusack's punk portrayal of Poe, but it's a premise that never fully realizes its potential -- a serial killer is using a writer's works as the backdrop for some gruesome murders, yet on film it becomes the stuff of nightly television crime drama, think "CSI" in the 19th century.
Cusack and director James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta") save the day, however. There's something oddly appealing about a gigantic pendulum in a pit inspired by, of course, Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum." When Cusack as Poe says, his mouth hanging open and gazing up at a gigantic scythe, "I really hadn't imagined the counterweight to be… so large," you can't help but get sucked into the film. Other acts of horror in the movie take their cue from "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Tell-Tale Heart," to name a few.
Poe-sters will delight at inside jokes that maybe only they will get, but will fly over the heads of the rest of us who only know Poe-isms from doing the daily crossword (if you only know "suddenly there came a tapping," you cannot count yourself as a devotee).
Cusack goes at his character with gusto, putting aside the preconceived notion of the father of detective fiction as a sad sack drunk, and instead creating a portrait of an egotistical writer who believed he had a gift for the craft, as well as a mere love of whiskey and tincture of opium. "God gave him a spark of genius shrouded in misery," the movie's newspaper editor (Kevin McNally) says after Poe has another clash with him over one of his stories being replaced by one by a writer named Longfellow.
The film fares best when McTeigue is able to keep the action moving. The change in the script comes when the killer abducts Poe's fiancée, Emily (Alice Eve) and it's left to Poe to craft the perfect story that could save her life. Then it's Cusack and Co. having a jolly good time running around the dark streets of 19th century Baltimore (shot on location in Budapest) in search of a killer that's mad as a hatter.
"The Raven" isn't literary genius, but it's not a bad thriller, and something Poe himself would have delighted in.

It was said that Mike Jacobs hit 27 hr's last year for the Marlins. Tom Verducci on mlb tv shorted Mike by 5. In reality the Royals picked the marlins pocket. This move will haunt the florida ream for years. Jacobs is too good to give away.
Mr. Moore,
I write to offer my help… only NOT for a job… but maybe to help save Dayton Moore's. I know fellow GM Doug Melvin recently stated that smaller market teams are strapped and have a competitive disadvantage. However, the KC Royals have bulit a good nucleous of talent now under Moore and have the Glass family's Wal-Mart money and need that final push to get back to a playoff-caliber team… so now is the time to act fast and sign C Ivan Rodriguez to handle the young pitchers and provide leadership. This worked in the late '70s when KC brought in the late Darrell Porter and again in the early '80s under Moore's mentor when John Schuerholtz brought in another former TX all-star catcher Jim Sundberg. Pudge would do more to draw people in and make KC winners again (even if his hitting is off). Ken Griffey, Jr wouldn't be bad either for DH. However, C Vance Wilson and OF Coco Crisp will not get it done. If KC does not win more this year… then I am done as a Royals fan. After nearly 25 years of no playoffs… I'm sure I am speaking for many.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — LEDs are likely to be twinkling on a lot more Christmas trees this year.
The high-tech lights have been around for years. But they've recently dropped in price.
The Kansas City Star reports Walmart is devoting half of its shelf space for Christmas lights to LEDs.
EXTRA: Black Friday 2013
A string of 50 mini LED lights is going for $5, down from $6.30 last year.
Costco isn't selling any incandescent Christmas lights. LEDs are not only costing less, they use less electricity, too.

May 28, 2016
DETROIT (AP) -- Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway will make her first appearance in federal court next week on a charge of bank fraud.
The U.S. attorney's office says Hathaway is scheduled to appear Jan. 29 before John Corbett O'Meara, a federal judge in Ann Arbor. She was charged with fraud last Friday, three days before her planned resignation from the state's highest court.
Hathaway is accused of concealing assets and shuffling properties to mislead a bank into approving a short sale on her home in Grosse Pointe Park. The sale was approved, and Hathaway and her husband got rid of a $600,000 mortgage debt.
The charge was filed as a criminal information, which means a guilty plea is expected. Hathaway's lawyer won't comment.

ATLANTA -- A spontaneous reaction on Twitter Wednesday night following Mitt Romney's reference to Big Bird and funding cuts for public broadcasting during the presidential debate sparked 17,000 tweets per minute and endless comments on Facebook.
Could a 41-year "Sesame Street" run end if money was cut by Washington?
It doesn't matter how old you are, Big Bird and the "Sesame Street" gang have been teaching life lessons and learning skills week after week and year after year for generations, all on public television.
TRUTH TEST | Romney says tax cuts would spur economy
11ALIVE EXPERT PANEL | Romney won first debate
OPINION | Jim Lehrer, what moderating?
"I think it would be tragic. Big Bird, Ernie, Bert -- everyone else -- I don't want to lose them," said Barbara VanNorstrand, a mother and grandmother.
"They are part of American culture, 'Sesame Street' is," said Pat Singer.
But not so fast says Teya Ryan, president of Georgia Public Broadcasting.
"Big bird is here to stay," she said flatly.
But Ryan does warn that losing 11 percent or $3 million in federal funding from her $26 million budget will mean cutbacks.
"Our focus is education and certainly no, GPB, under no circumstances, will disappear. We are here for the long haul for the people of Georgia, but certainly would the 3,000 hours of commercial free children's programming -- the educational programming for children be reduced? Absolutely," Ryan said.
A similar commitment came from John Weatherford, chief operating officer of Public Broadcasting Atlanta. Eleven percent of his $12 million budget comes from federal funds.
"Could we be here another year, two years, three years? Yes, I believe we could. What we have seen in the past when there are these threats to federal funding is the community rising up and saying this is important to us and we want to support it and want to make sure it's good," Weatherford said.
Despite threats to Big Bird and the rest of public broadcasting's slate of programming, Georgia's nine public television stations and 17 radio stations are going to stick around according to Ryan and Weatherford.

This topic must be covered somewhere already, but when I search on "backup" I get too many hits and don't see anything like this.
Is there any way for users to back up their own mailboxes? We give them a fairly large quota, but with lots of file attachments it becomes impossible to keep more than a year or so. It's also not very likely that they would ever have to go back to something more than a year old.
So I'm really asking two questions:
First, how can an individual move all e-mail that's more than 12 months old to their local machine and out of Zimbra? It would be nice to have something automated, but a manual process would be OK as long as it's not too easy to mess up and end up with no backups.
Second, assuming that they can burn a backup CD containing old e-mails, what would be the best way to access those backups if they ever had to?
I'm hoping to write a (simple?) procedure that we can distribute to a few thousand e-mail users. Whatever we come up with has to be pretty easy for non-technical people otherwise I'll be getting thousands of phone calls every month.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Seventy-eight people became U.S. citizens at the annual Fourth of July naturalization ceremony at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.
Musician Dave Matthews gave the keynote address. He reminded the audience that the United States is a nation of immigrants, and that some fled tyranny while others were brought here against their will.
Matthews is a native of South Africa who became a naturalized citizen himself in 1980. He formed his band in Charlottesville in 1991.
The Daily Progress reports that the 78 who took the U.S. oath of allegiance Thursday came from 36 different countries. They joined more than 3,000 others who have been naturalized at Monticello since 1963.

Man is ticketed for careless driving after truck lands on car
Published: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
SUMMERFIELD — A man was ticketed for careless driving Friday when the Freightliner box truck he was driving crashed into a car on a busy road, spilling memorial bricks and other items all over the highway.
Ilvin Rodriguez, 31, of Orlando, was issued the ticket by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper.
Rodriguez said his brakes failed before the accident. An FHP official who works in the commercial motor vehicle division, however, inspected the brakes and said they were working properly.
Rodriguez told troopers he was heading west on Southeast 132nd Street Road when he tried to stop. To avoid hitting vehicles traveling north on US 301, he said, he went into the right turn lane that merges onto U.S. 301. He said as he rounded the curve, he lost control and part of the truck landed on a black Saturn heading north on U.S. 301. Among the items scattered in the grassy median were red memorial bricks, pallets and metal poles.
The woman driving the Saturn was not injured.
Rodriguez told a Star-Banner reporter that he was driving west and saw the light was red and tried to stop but his brakes were not working. He said he didn't want to run the light and hit vehicles heading north on U.S. 301, so he veered right. He said the truck was on two wheels and tipped over onto the car. He said he was on his way to The Villages to deliver the load of goods.
The woman driving the car said she saw the on-coming truck and tried to avoid being hit. She said she was on her way to pick up her grandson when the accident occurred, and she's grateful to be alive.

MORGANTOWN - I recently asked a rather philosophical buddy of mine who he thought West Virginia's next defensive coordinator would be. He said, 'You can't see DeForest through the trees.'
I don't know what that meant, but lets play connect the dots with WVU's defensive coaching situation, particularly as that pertains to the recently hired Joe DeForest.
DeForest, a friend of WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen's for more than 20 years, had spent the past 11 years on the defensive staff at Oklahoma State, most recently serving as associate head coach, special teams' coordinator and safeties coach. His resume with special teams is thicker than Wikipedia.
Article Photos
Holgorsen and DeForest coached on the same OK State staff in 2010 before Holgorsen was hired away by West Virginia. DeForest stayed in Stillwater for 11 years because he promised his daughter she would graduate from high school there.
On Jan. 14, the Mountaineers announced they had brought on DeForest, though there was no position given. They said they'd work it out after the defensive staff was completed. West Virginia had three vacancies after coordinator Jeff Casteel took off for Arizona along with cornerbacks coach David Lockwood and defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich.
Also brought in to coach the WVU defense was Mike Smith, a former linebackers coach with the New York Jets.
One position remains.
So we know Holgorsen and DeForest have a longstanding relationship. And DeForest has a much more polished resume than Smith, a 2004 Texas Tech graduate (Holgorsen was coaching there in Lubbock at the time). We don't know who the third coach will be.
But, we can guess, based on a few things DeForest said Wednesday, that he's got a pretty good shot at becoming West Virginia's next defensive coordinator, or at least a co-coordinator.
''It's an opportunity, in my discussion with Dana, what my position was at Oklahoma State, this could be a step up for me professionally,'' he said. ''An opportunity in my career to hopefully advance.''
And later ....
''We pretty much know what direction we are going but Dana wants to wait until we get everybody hired to announce the positions.''
If DeForest has a good idea, why would he move from one Big 12 school to another to pretty much do the same thing if the point of the move was to take a step up professionally?
Either way, he'll be a part of a defense in transition. The Mountaineers will play either a 3-4 or a 4-3 (probably a 3-4) next season, in part because it's easier to find hybrid safeties and linebackers that can rush off the end than to find big bodies to put a hand on the ground, and part of it's because just about every team in the Big 12 runs a spread offense and throws it all over the field so you need all the speed you can get on defense.
DeForest made all of those points Wednesday, but admitted that's a little down the road for him.
''I don't know any of the player's names yet,'' he said. ''I'm going to have to learn through other coaches telling me who they are, then watch tape and sorta clue in on jersey numbers to faces.
''It'll take some time, but I'll learn it.''
He spent his first two weeks at West Virginia in Florida recruiting.
What he was selling those guys was a chance.
''Everybody on the team right now on defense has a clean slate,'' DeForest said. ''Everybody gets to start over. The new guys coming in, obviously it's a benefit to them because they only come in 15 days behind as opposed to coming in 2-3 years behind in the scheme. I think as a recruit, I have a pretty good chance to maybe play early because it's a new scheme for everybody.''
As a positive, DeForest said, this move means he won't have to face Holgorsen's offense. A negative is that he'll have to prepare his guys to play a lot of snaps because WVU's offense, not unlike Oklahoma State's last season, generally scores in a hurry.
''We played three more games than Alabama did on defense at Oklahoma State last year,'' DeForest said. ''It's because (the offense) is so quick and it's moving so fast, but the bottom line for us is turnovers. They may get a couple chunk yards - you may be out on the field 20 more plays than another defense - but at the end of the drive, did West Virginia possess the ball, either by making them punt it or by making them turn it over? Those are the two things we're going to talk about.''
They'll do that talking, of course, after they settle the staff.

All women face the threat of heart disease. But becoming aware of symptoms and risks unique to women, as well as eating a heart-healthy diet and exercising, can help protect you.
Although heart disease is often thought of as a problem for men, more women than men die of heart disease each year. One challenge is that some heart disease symptoms in women may be different from those in men. Fortunately, women can take steps to understand their unique symptoms of heart disease and to begin to reduce their risk of heart disease.
The most common heart attack symptom in women is some type of pain, pressure or discomfort in the chest. But it's not always severe or even the most prominent symptom, particularly in women. And, sometimes, women may have a heart attack without chest pains. Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as:
These symptoms can be more subtle than the obvious crushing chest pain often associated with heart attacks. Women may describe chest pain as pressure or a tightness. This may be because women tend to have blockages not only in their main arteries but also in the smaller arteries that supply blood to the heart — a condition called small vessel heart disease or microvascular disease.
Women's symptoms may occur more often when women are resting, or even when they're asleep. Mental stress also may trigger heart attack symptoms in women.
Women tend to show up in emergency rooms after heart damage has already occurred because their symptoms are not those typically associated with a heart attack, and because women may downplay their symptoms. If you experience these symptoms or think you're having a heart attack, call for emergency medical help immediately. Don't drive yourself to the emergency room unless you have no other options.
Although the traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease — such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and obesity — affect women and men, other factors may play a bigger role in the development of heart disease in women. For example:
No. Women under the age of 65, and especially those with a family history of heart disease, need to pay close attention to the heart disease risk factors. Women of all ages should take heart disease seriously.
There are several lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your risk of heart disease:
You'll also need to take prescribed medications appropriately, such as blood pressure medications, blood thinners and aspirin. And you'll need to better manage other conditions that are risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
In general, you should do moderate exercise, such as walking at a brisk pace, for 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week. If you can't get all of your exercise completed in one session, it's fine to break up your physical activity into several 10- to 15-minute sessions. You'll still get the same heart-health benefits. Some research has even shown that short bursts of very intensive exercise, such as a short run in the middle of a walk, may be an effective way to boost your metabolism. This may help you keep your weight down, which in turn, helps keep your heart healthy.
There are other small changes you can make to increase your physical activity throughout the day. You can take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or ride your bicycle to do errands, or try some situps or pushups while watching television.
What's considered a healthy weight varies from person to person, but having a normal body mass index (BMI) is helpful. This calculation helps you see if you have a healthy or unhealthy percentage of body fat. A BMI of 25 or higher can be associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
Waist circumference also is a useful tool to measure whether or not you're overweight. Women are overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (89 cm).
Losing even small amounts of weight can help by lowering your blood pressure and reducing your risk of diabetes — both of which increase your risk of heart disease.
Generally, heart disease treatment in women and in men is similar. Angioplasty and stenting, commonly used treatments for heart attack, are effective for both men and women. However, women who don't have typical chest pain are less likely to be offered these potentially lifesaving options.
And, if a woman's heart symptoms are mainly caused by microvascular disease, angioplasty and stenting may not be the most effective treatment choice.
Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) urge women to be more aggressive about cutting their cardiovascular disease risk. For some women, this includes a daily aspirin. But, the routine use of daily aspirin therapy to prevent heart disease in low-risk women younger than 65 years old isn't recommended.
The AHA guidelines do recommend that women of any age consider taking between 75 and 325 milligrams of aspirin daily if they have diabetes or if they already have heart disease. The AHA also recommends that women over 65 years can benefit from a daily 81-milligram aspirin if their blood pressure is controlled and the risk of digestive bleeding is low. Aspirin might also be considered for at-risk women younger than 65 years for stroke prevention.
But, don't start taking aspirin for heart disease prevention on your own. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking aspirin based on your individual risk factor.

The ISU football staff is considering adding a full time team chaplain to deal with general "issues" associated with young athletes. Seems like a great idea. Wish I had one where I work as I supervise people with many outside of work "issues". If anyone questions this idea, keep this in mind. D-1 college athletes come from diverse cultural backgrounds with major big city issues, unlike what we mainstream Iowans deal with most of our lives.
That's a really interesting idea. As you mention, the athletes come from diverse cultural background - a chaplain is generally Christian, aren't they? I wonder if it would be more a mentor/confidante, or religious leader?
That actually leads to another question - since it's a state school, would we have to have religious leaders for any requested sects, if it is a religiously-based role?

Being in the Army and having dealt with a number of chaplains and just pastors in my regular civilian life, I have to say I think this is a great idea. The issue of different faiths and different denominations would be a problem though. Its great to have someone that you know you can go to talk to about your problems though, knowing that your superiors or in this case, the coaches, aren't going to find out if you don't want them to.
So long as no one was 'required' to see them I'm all for it. I could see how many people would really enjoy having one around.
A chaplain's a great idea: The concept behind a chaplain is religion non-specific; for folks not of the chaplain's faith, he can always "dial-a-rabbiormullah".
On the advice issue; unless one of your players worships Deveel or Cthuluh, most of the major religions hold to similar principles.
I actually was at an FCA meeting this past Sunday eve where GC spoke of this very issue. It is an amazing idea, in fact he became passionate about the idea while DC'ing at Auburn. He discussed the Chaplain was an integral part of the programs success and helped the young men deal with life challenges.
GC mentioned that they have had challenges since stepping foot on campus with player personal issues that they wish they were better equipped to deal with. The Chaplain that they are hoping to hire(through private donations) spoke and is a solid football guy that was a hot strength coach that was called to ministry.
This has been approved by Pollard and is merely in the $$$ phase. Should be a great thing until someone is offended.
As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
Wouldn't this have been a great position for Dexter Green?

Lots of schools have chaplains for their football teams, and you rarely hear complaints about it. The only real complaint that someone could make is that the chaplain is a "government" employee. But if the funding is done all through private donations, then that argument wouldn't hold much water. I like seeing that Chizik has a plan to care for his players and build a team with some character. I hope they get the funding they need for this!
Auburn Chaplain, Chet Williams is Coach's finest recruiter in addition to being a fine Christian. Iowa State needs this type of individual.
Fantastic idea. I'd donate for that. I don't see it being a problem with different faiths either. The overall principles of most religions are similar, and a good spiritual leader would recognize the need to deal with each individual in a unique way. I have a feeling that the Register wouldn't like it, which makes it an even better idea.

Ok. What type of training would you need to hold this position? I do not think we need a psychologist, or a psychiatrist for gosh sakes. That type of person can be a can of worms, and scares the bejeebers out of both of me. Seriously, if a young person is devoutly religious (in a specific religion) then he probably doesn't need a chaplain, and doesn't really care what religion this person represents. There are many places of worship in Ames. Having a person that they can go to talk to in confidence is a great idea, an athlete in Ames is in a fishbowl, for sure. This would also be a great recruiting tool, I would let the world know that this chaplain exists, this person would be a great boon to public relations, if the right individual is hired.

A Chaplin that's also a S&C coach - wow. That makes 2 S&C coaches if this goes thru. Does Chizik know how to line them up... Twice as strong physically and strong spiritually - no one's gonna push us over this year!

"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
I know Mac had something similar. Pastor David Staff from the Ames Evangelical Free Church has been involved with the football team for a number of years. I went to church there many years ago and occassionally he would talk about his involvement with the team. I think he traveled with the team to all the games and was just generally available. I am guessing that was all volunteer. Mac did mention Pastor Staff's name during his resignation speech.
I think it is a great idea. 18-22 year old men need someone they can talk to and trust.
I'd have to say that the idea of having a "chaplain" bothers me some. I think that a counselor would be a great idea. However, as a public institution, not affiliated with an particular faith, I think that having someone with a religious background is questionable.
I would be afraid of the possibility of alienating members of the football team who practice a non-christian religion, or no religion at all. You don't want to have a member of the staff that can put a divide in team chemistry.
I'd love to hear in exactly what capacity this individual would be associated with the team. I definitely like the idea of a counselor.
From some of the comments Gene has made his faith seems to be very important to him. I am all in favor!

any formula to calculate backup folder if I want to create a LUN for it?
any formula to calculate backup folder if I want to create a LUN for it?
Hello malayo,
do you mean you need to calculate the size of all the backups?
If you are using the Network Edition, by default the backups are stored in the /opt/zimbra/backup/ folder.
You could just do:
du -sh /opt/zimbra/backup/
to find out which size has.
My server has around 150 users. I do not have a mailbox size limit and my attachment size limit is 10MB. My backup folder has 30 days worth of backup files in it. Some of my users have very large mailboxes (20GB). I still can't convince them emailing yourself a file is the best way to keep a backup.
Here are my directory sizes:
Zimbra Usage (/opt/zimbra) *Minus Backup Backup Folder
Zimbra Backup Usage (/opt/zimbra/backup)
I've set my backup directory in a 500GB datastore mounted directly to /opt/zimbra/backup to ensure i have plenty of space. Since i have roughly double the space i'm considering pushing my backup retention to 60 days. We are currently running Network Edition v6.
Hope it helps

I thought this bug is fixed with 7.1.0?
