It probably goes without saying, but service management means different things in different industries: Service management can help banks improve customer service, drive business model efficiency and manage operational risk. Service management can help government agencies reduce complexity and waste and deliver services more effectively to the citizens who rely on them. And communications service providers need innovative service management solutions to address the limits of the backbone, a highly competitive environment and customer loyalty.
The list goes on, but in all cases, rendering better service management in any given industry means weighing and balancing different complexities—as well as the leading solutions and strategies best suited to address them.

From chaos to profit: A perspective from a fly on the wall
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC email@example.com Tags:  ism simulator integrated workshop tivoli management service 3,010 Visits
It started out a bit frenetic and confusing. Nobody knew what to do or where to go, and panic seemed to set in every time the loud horn blared, indicating another failure had occurred.
No, I wasn't attending a Green Mountain Derby Dames roller derby tournament.
Rather, I was present at an ISM Simulator Workshop session in Washington DC.
My role was to videotape the workshop, with the intent of scaling it down into a 2-3 minute snippet that captures the essence of the session. And as I observed the 16 participants in 'Round 1', it all started to make sense.
The participants were playing the roles of employees at a hypothetical shipping company. They were broken out into four teams, representing four different parts of the company - senior management, line of business owners, service desk personnel
and technical services.
On the screen at the front of the room was a birds-eye projection of the company, including a series of dashboards and schedules, which provided the participants with essential real-time information such as service level data, shipments completed, locations where outages were occurring, and the amount of money that the company was making (or losing!) at any given moment.
The goal of the 'game' was to maximize profits for the company in the face of systems that were continuously breaking down. To do so, each team had to establish its own processes, and effectively collaborate with the other teams so as to create an efficient overall system.
The first round was anything but efficient, as the teams tried desperately to get their own houses in order while they watched all the missed shipments, unresolved outages, and lost revenue on the screen. The sense of frustration was obvious, but the group pressed on.
At the end of the round, the facilitator conducted an assessment of the business by reviewing bottom line data with the group, and discussed best and worst practices that the teams had implemented. Clearly, there was a better way to run this business, and the group was determined to figure it out in short order.
Somewhere in the middle of Round 2, I began to sense that the group was turning the corner. There were a lot more 'aha" moments, a lot less shouting across the room, flip charts were being utilized, and there seemed to be a great deal of relevant information being shared across the different teams.
After three hours and three rounds, the group was both exhausted and exhilarated. They were able to implement an efficient process that yielded a positive bottom line.
But more importantly, they now had a much more tangible understanding of the role that Service Management plays in aligning IT with the business.
I had a chance to interview several of the participants after the session, and they were all effusive in their praise for the workshop. Clearly, the workshop far exceeded their expectations, and they were anxious to share their experience, and apply some of the best practices at their own organizations.
As a new member of the ISM marketing team, the workshop was also a great experience for me. Besides meeting some very interesting IBM customers and partners, I now have a much firmer grasp of the value of Service Management.
Incidentally, we will be running a simulator workshop for customers at Pulse on Sunday, February 27th. If you are interested in attending, please contact David Ojalvo as soon as possible, because seating is limited to the first 20 respondents.
If you are not able to get with us at Pulse, fear not...the ISM Simulator Workshop is portable in nature, and can be hosted at any customer site for a group of your employees. It's a great educational and team building exercise! For more information on this, visit our web page, and contact your local sales rep.
It's January, Time For A zEnterprise Webcast
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  webcast zenterprise service-management 1,494 Visits
As far as holiday gifts go, a brand new shiny zEnterprise wouldn't be too shaby,* and there is enough of a lull in the beginning of the new year for planning that a webcast like Tivoli for zEnterprise – Speeding problem isolation and resolution makes a lot of sense to check out.
If you're new to zEnterprise or even if you've had your system for a while, this is a great opportunity to listen to speaker Randy Scott discuss this topic (and there will be a live question-and-answer session as well as a future replay).
Here's a brief description of the webcast and we look forward to you attending:
A New Year…A New Decade…
Shradha Pradhan 270003G608 email@example.com Tags:  new-year new-decade 2011 think 1,425 Visits
Ahh...the first day of the New Year! Here's wishing you all a very happy and a prosperous New Year 2011.
It is also the first day of the New Decade..…hmnn…10 long years ahead…..though it sounds really long and a certain uncertainty in future too, it might just get over before even knowing how we lived these 10 years. Hence, let's make the best out of it :-)
Last decade saw a booming IT sector binding the world into a global-network which in turn brought in a remarkable change in the lives we lived, with 'Social Media ruling the world by end of decade' being the icing on the cake. Well, we never know, this decade might just go bigger than the last. Believing more good things will come in this decade, wish you all a fulfilling decade ahead :-)
"Think and Act" is the mantra!

Representative's debate funding for university projects
The Montana House is debating a jobs bill that would pay for construction projects at state universities.
House Bill 14 includes a controversial proposal which would develop the Missoula College on the University Golf Course, but it ran into a snag Tuesday afternoon when the debate turned to how to pay for the projects.
There are two options on the table: one is to issue bonds, or approve state debt, and the other is to pay for the construction projects with taxpayer money.
House Bill 14 made it to the Montana House, but Tuesday afternoon it was sent back to the House Appropriations Committee due to republican concern over using bonds to finance the projects.
NBC Montana spoke to Representative Champ Edmunds (R-Missoula) who tells us he simply didn't want to approve state debt.
"Granted it's for projects that are going to improve our state university system but it's still debt that our kids and grandkids are going to have to pay," said Edmunds. "So now there's still a lot of talk at least among the republican caucus about finding a way to pay cash for these projects rather than putting the state into debt."
Edmunds tells us he wants the university projects to be amended into a cash bill, otherwise known as House Bill 5, which means money for the projects would come out of the state's general fund.
NBC Montana spoke with Peggy Kuhr, interim director of communications at the University of Montana, and she tells us university officials are watching both bills closely.
"We remain confident at this point that by the time the legislature adjourns that we will have funding for the university system projects," said Kuhr. "That would include the Missoula College."
Edmunds tells us there's a chance even if these university projects make it to the Senate they could still get sent back to the House.
NBC Montana will continue to follow this story and bring you the details as we learn more.

The insurance company runaround
(Page 2 of 2)
And why would banks not join you in your cause against your insurance company, since I am seeing people walk away from their homes? Banks have much more to lose than homeowners. And why is it that Louisiana figured out how to get federal grant money for lifting and repairing homes, but we're not doing the same? With repeated storm damage, the tax base, commerce, and the health and safety of thriving communities will cease. Ghost towns will be a testament to governments', insurance companies' and banks' failure to uphold the system that allowed them to prosper.
Also, when insurance companies tell you that you need an engineer, not an architect, they're trying to intimidate you. Architects plan buildings as the "conductors of the orchestra," in which structural, mechanical, electrical, civil and chemical engineers, as well as environmentalists and other specialists, each play a part. Architects, who lead the team, certainly have the capacity to assess your issues. Shouldn't insurance companies have inspected homes before insuring them instead of denying claims for conditions they never noticed, but you paid for? Stay positive and persist. We all need answers.

Bear of a battle
Education | As students return to campuses across the country, professors debate Baylor University's ambitious plans to be 'the Protestant Notre Dame,' and the ambitious president driving charge
Hundreds of Christian colleges, most of them small liberal arts institutions, salt the United States. Few have graduate schools, much less comprehensive Ph.D. programs. Few Christian colleges have the resources to sponsor research that would allow Christian scholars to have a greater voice in the marketplace of ideas.
Christian colleges that want their professors to hold the union card-a Ph.D.-recruit their faculty from secular Ph.D.-granting universities. This ensures that Christian faculty members are tested on intellectual battlegrounds, but it can also mean that they are educated only in secular modes of analysis and socialized to pursue conventional academic glory.
What if there could be a distinctly Christian university, one known for academic excellence but unapologetic about its reason for being? Professors would educate students and also build on biblical insights that illuminate their disciplines, contributing to the growth of knowledge as Christians used to while creating intellectually rigorous alternatives to secularist scholarship.
That is the new goal of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, a Division I school with some 14,000 students and 770 faculty members. Two years ago the university's Board of Regents adopted a vision statement and set of strategic goals called Baylor 2012, an ambitious 10-year plan to build up Baylor's academic quality and Christian profession. Baylor President Robert Sloan summarizes the vision this way: "Baylor University has the opportunity to become the only major university in America, clearly centered in Protestant traditions, to embrace the full range of academic pursuits."
Mr. Sloan brought in Canadian literary scholar David Jeffrey as Provost, and Mr. Jeffrey began asking prospective new faculty members searching questions about their faith. He also started recruiting well-known scholars such as sociologist Rodney Stark, philosopher Stephen Ward, classicist John Nordling, and engineering prof Walter Bradley. William Dembski, whose "intelligent design" arguments are mounting a serious challenge to Darwinism, is also at Baylor, although the administration has at times left him twisting in the wind.
Since Baylor 2012 was adopted, the university has added 120 new faculty members, brought down teacher-student ratios, spent hundreds of millions of dollars on new buildings and research facilities, and increased incoming SAT scores. President Sloan's administration has also increased tuition (a 56 percent jump over the last three years) and engendered hostility from the faculty senate, which has twice passed a no-confidence motion concerning the Sloan administration.
Last May the Board of Regents fell one vote short of asking for President Sloan's resignation. Organizations of alumni and donors are calling for his removal and for the cancellation of Baylor 2012. But in July, despite rumors that President Sloan would be ousted, the Board of Regents took no action on the matter and voted unanimously to reaffirm the goals of Baylor 2012.
Some criticism of Mr. Sloan, who has been president of Baylor for 10 years, concerns administrative issues. The big building program has greatly increased Baylor's debt. Tuition increases have burdened parents and students. A new university-run alumni association has alienated some alumni. Mr. Sloan's top-down management style transgressed on departmental turf and violated established patterns of faculty governance.
Furthermore, some faculty members complain about favoritism, disparities in pay and promotion, and the cultivation of a spirit of "publish or perish." Unethical conduct in Baylor's basketball program and a tragedy-last year's murder of basketball star Patrick Dennehy by a teammate-also figure in.
The administrative and ethical controversies, though, are intertwined with theological issues. In 1999, Mr. Sloan established the Michael Polanyi Center for the study of Intelligent Design, bringing on Mr. Dembski as its director. Many on the faculty resented a research center opening without their input. Some objected to the whole project of Intelligent Design, maintaining that its rejection of Darwinian evolution was unscientific and would harm Baylor's academic reputation. Eventually Baylor dismantled the Polanyi Center, though Mr. Dembski remains on the faculty.
Evolutionists on the faculty insist that they must rigorously exclude from their work religious considerations, including the investigation of the evidence that nature is not random but shows features of a created design. Many argue that science and faith must be separated, that science accounts for objective reality, while religion has to do with internal meaning. Mr. Sloan's predecessor, Herbert Reynolds, sought to bolster Baylor's academic standing by championing the "two spheres" approach, arguing that faith is a matter of inward piety: The "two spheres" of knowledge and faith must be kept completely distinct.
Mr. Reynolds, who still maintains an office in Waco and is a leader in the opposition against Mr. Sloan, made Baylor officially independent from the Southern Baptist General Convention in 1991. His position is that a Christian university should offer the same education as a secular school, while also giving opportunities for personal spiritual growth. A student could be taught evolution in a science class and creation in a religion class, since the two kinds of truth occupy different "spheres." This approach alludes to Luther's doctrine of the two kingdoms but misses its point, that while there is a spiritual and an earthly realm, God is king of them both.
Some Sloan critics also claim that interviewing new faculty about their beliefs violates "Baptist freedom," in which individuals refuse to be bound by any kind of creedal formula. They say that insisting on a particular biblical worldview violates the principle of "soul competency," which means that individual believers are free to interpret Scripture any way they think best. These same theological debates are part of the larger struggle within the Southern Baptist Church, in which "moderates," who downplay the objective content of Scriptures in favor of individual rights to choose what to believe, battle "conservatives," who insist that freedom to interpret the Bible does not entail freedom to disregard what it says.
Some of the discontent at Baylor seems to be a conflict between the old guard on campus and the new blood being brought in. Some professors distrust what the Baylor 2012 vision statement calls "very high expectations of faculty . . . these will be instituted in the form of rigorous standards of teaching and scholarly excellence for tenure and promotion." Calls for improvement and the advent of new assessment procedures imply problems in the way things are. The influx of new high-powered faculty can cause resentment, especially when they seem to get better treatment and are heralded above faculty with years of faithful service to the school.
Other Protestant critics of Mr. Sloan see him as theologically lax for tolerating evolutionists and hiring Catholics. When he appeared in 2002 at a televised chapel of Brigham Young University, he referred to the largely Mormon students and faculty of Brigham Young University as "salt and light" and "fellow children of God," terms generally reserved by Christians for reference to fellow Christians. For many conservative Southern Baptists, Baylor-long under the auspices of the more liberal "General Baptist Conference"-is associated with less than orthodox theology, including a refusal to embrace full biblical inerrancy.
Furthermore, some administrators and professors at staunchly Christian colleges have for many years not classified Baylor as a Christian university at all and are skeptical that Mr. Sloan can make it one. They express concern that while he is right in seeing no objective reason why success for Baylor in academic reputation is not compatible with strong Christian profession (see sidebar), he fails to take into full account the way reputation strongly depends on the subjective judgments of secular professors and administrators, many of whom are anti-Christian bigots.
But quality is not the same as reputation. Under postmodernism, it is the secularists who are rejecting reason and objective truth, while Christians are defending them. Rather than schools having to choose between the two, faithfulness can increase academic quality.
For decades-or centuries in the cases of originally Christian institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton-schools have slid away from their Christian foundation. Resisting such cultural pressure-as well as rebuilding the Christian foundation once it is lost-poses major challenges.
James Burtchaell's The Dying of the Light: The Disengagement of Colleges and Universities from Their Christian Churches (Eerdmans, 1998) studied colleges from seven different traditions-Evangelical, Reformed, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Congregationalist, and Catholic. He showed how they all gradually lost their identity and drifted into secularism.
They all followed a consistent pattern. Their mission statements changed from expressing allegiance to a particular theology, to being generically "Christian," to affirming "Christian values," then just "values," then not mentioning any religious identity at all. The pattern-breaking away from church authority to achieve "independence," trying to gain recognition from secular academia, interpreting Christianity as limiting and repressive-emerged again and again.
Nancy Pearcey's Total Truth (Crossway, 2004) traced the way Christianity has been driven out of the objective realm and accepted only as a private, interior, subjective feeling or commitment, with little to say about the external world. This internalization of Christianity was largely due to the pressures of the Enlightenment, when "Reason" drove religion and values underground. But Christians at times marginalized themselves by playing down Christian doctrinal claims and reducing faith to a subjective state of mind.
Can Christian colleges reverse that trend? Robert Benne's book Quality with Soul (Eerdmans, 2001) argued that colleges can resist the pull toward secularism and recover a heritage once lost-but they need a resolute president. Will Mr. Sloan and the Baylor regents be able to take the heat they will continue to face, and will they lead Baylor away from subjectivism, the view that Christianity is purely inward and experiential? Will they move their institution toward biblical objectivity or merely fall into a different kind of legalism? As the 2004-05 academic year begins, the drama in Waco continues.
Interview with Baylor president Robert Sloan
By The Editors
WORLD interviewed university president Robert Sloan about the troubles at Baylor and his vision for a distinctly Christian university.
WORLD: What do you say to people who insist that the two goals of Baylor 2012-being a top-tier university and being a distinctly Christian university-are contradictory?
RS: I think they've bought into a false view of reality. There are many who think that Christianity has no intellectual content, that it is purely a matter of emotion or isolated spirituality. My initial response is to encourage people to look at great minds like Augustine, Martin Luther, John Milton, or a host of others. They made powerful contributions to the Western intellectual legacy by any standard. Some of the world's great thinkers have been both Christian and scientific in their approach to investigating the world: Pascal, Isaac Newton, Jonathan Edwards, John Polkinghorne.
WORLD: What progress have you made so far in being a distinctly Christian university?
RS: We've always been a Christian university, but the difference is that we are explicitly seeking to accomplish the integration of faith and scholarship. . . . I think that's why we've been able to attract some of the distinguished faculty who have come to Baylor. They want an undivided life. They can have it here.
WORLD: Why are you encountering so much opposition?
RS: At some point, the academy overreacted to Christian dominance in the universities and completely reversed course to view the faith as irrelevant to higher education and research. Thus, we have an artificial separation of faith and reason. There are plenty of Christians who accept that split and have been trained to do so. To them, when we talk about ideas like integrating faith and learning, we seem to be speaking an alien tongue.
WORLD: Is this purely a worldview conflict or are there other issues?
RS: No, there are definitely other issues. [One] issue has to do with Baylor's historic Baptist identity. When factions fought over the future of the Southern Baptist Convention some years ago, that fight left tremendous sensitivity to the issue of who qualifies as a faithful Christian and who is honoring Scripture, with many on our campus feeling that their faith has been impugned.
WORLD: Given the faculty resistance to your vision of Christian scholarship, can a student coming to Baylor today find the integration of faith and learning that you are envisioning?
RS: Absolutely. . . . While it's perhaps true that we don't have the sort of unanimity of a college that requires faculty to sign faith statements, we still offer something very distinctive. Baylor students get the experience of coming to a major conference university where they can also find a Christian faculty.

FedEx rolls out new option for healthcare shippers
January 25, 2011
FedEx this week said it has rolled out a new service, entitled, FedEx Deep Frozen Shipping Solution, which it said is an end-to-end service for shipping temperature-sensitive healthcare products around the world.
Company officials said that this new offering uses liquid nitrogen dry vapor technology that maintains a temperature of below -150 degrees Celsius for up to 10 days using the CryoPort Express Dry Shipper from CryoPort Inc. in Los Angeles.
A FedEx spokesperson said the company elected to go this route, because its healthcare customers were requesting an alternative to dry ice, which is hazardous and results in shipments being labeled as "dangerous goods."
"Dry ice is classified as a dangerous good when shipped via air, and that creates a lot of complexities for the shipper," said the spokesperson. "We also wanted to identify more environmentally-friendly ways to ship deep frozen goods, and this was an answer to that."
In terms of how this new service works, FedEx explained that customers place orders online through a customized FedEx portal, and FedEx provides the pre-conditioned container to the customer to load their temperature-sensitive product. And they said that FedEx then delivers the container to its final destination while actively monitoring the shipment and intervening if needed during transit, followed by FedEx picking up the container and returning it for refurbishing.
"The elimination of dry ice is a huge benefit to shippers," said the spokesperson. "They don't have to stock materials, train employees on handling a dangerous good, etc. Also, the length of time this technology keeps the item frozen gives customers a greater peace of mind in the event there are unforeseen delays in transit. Dry ice sublimates after approximately 72 hours, while this solution keeps the temperature for up to 10 days.
Also, another factor that gives customers peace of mind is that security is strong with FedEx. We not only maintain custodial control, but we also proactively monitor all shipments using this service, alerting the customer to any delays or problems in transit."
When asked how many customers would be using this new service, the spokesperson declined to provide an exact number, saying instead that many of its healthcare customers are looking forward to using it.
And in terms of the competitive benefits it provides for FedEx she said that the healthcare industry is very important to FedEx and innovations like this show its healthcare customers FedEx is serious about their business and listening to what they need.
If FedEx can offer them a better solution to dry ice that eases their peace of mind while also being environmentally sustainable, we believe we can continue earning their
loyalty and business, the spokesperson explained.

Really enjoyed this beautifully produced new video by filmmaker James DeMaria, the title track of Tricia Boutté and Paul Longstreth's Oh New Orleans, Here I Come! According to DeMaria, the song is about Tricia's yearly pilgrimage home from Norway for FQF, Jazz Fest, and to see her family.
Here's a little trad jazz gem: a set of songs by the Original Tuxedo Jazzband, recorded in 1964 in Baden Baden, Germany. That's bandleader Albert "Papa" French on banjo; clarinetist Joseph "Cornbread" Thomas also handles vocals.
The legendary bluesman John Smith Hurt, AKA Mississippi John Hurt (~1892-1966), left sharecropping for a brief recording career with Okeh Records in 1928, cutting 78s like "Frankie" and "Avalon Blues". The records didn't sell, and Hurt eventually returned to farming. Decades later, he was rediscovered and recorded again in the mid-1960s.

Hi! I just inherited a Zimbra installation on Ubuntu, and I am triying to make sense out of what I have. I do have a lot of experience on Windows sistems with Exchange, but just a little in Linux and Zimbra.
The server currently sends and receives emails, but it is not authenticating via SMTP. From what If found in the forums, what I need is to regenerate my keys as stated here:
Mail Queue Monitoring - Zimbra :: Wiki
I also seem to be having problems with the integrity of the DB, as mentioned here:
Now the problem I have is that to follow the recomendations from those links, I need to log in as zimbra, and it looks like the user does not exist on eht server!
When I log in via root, and su zimbra, I get:
So I checked /etc/passwd and there is no user zimbra there.Code:su zimbra Unknown id: zimbra
I also tried to find files in the HD created by zimbra, and found none. All files under /zimbra/opt/zimbra are created by root or polkituser.
Now, I am asuming that zimbra was installed via root, and the user zimbra was never created. From what I have read in these forums, I should NOT do the steps mentioned in the links above via root. So my question is, should I run it as root? Should I create the zimbra user? Any other recomendations?
Thanks in advanced!

Is Booing Worse than Spitting?
On President Fast-and-Furious' campaign/passthisbill/blameRepublicans tour, he repeatedly accused the GOP presidential candidates of homophobia. Yet, when his own band of misfits, the OccupyThis-and-That crowd, spits on a member of the Coast Guard he is silent. What kind of message is that sending to his paid Jacobins on the left? Does Obama think a boo is worse than spitting on an actual person? This is where | Read More »

Wow! I'm really lucky - two locations on my map being done! I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I've got Fort Lost (from Ravells' Beastlands - Region 1, Map 12).
### Latest WIP ###
Wow! I'm really lucky - two locations on my map being done! I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
So, as we're both doing a map in the same region, any thoughts you had on yours that might ripple over to have an effect on Irontown?
Actually, unless I'm mistaken, that's PORT Lost, not FORT Lost... though I am sure you could place a fort in that port...
Gamer Printshop - We print RPG Maps for Game Masters!
Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG) Google+ community
Nope, that is an F, not a P. But I'm sure you could put a port there.
Hey Neighbor!
I'm mapping on the other side of the lake.
Talk to me about your race and peoples choice. I sort of thought that "Fort Lost" wasn't that safe . Perhaps our settlements work(ed) together?
I wanted to keep it small because, frankly, I've never done a full ruins before and I didn't want to bit off more than I could chew.
For giggles, I'll post my terrible quick sketch that I drew so I could have a base to work from.
Please don't laugh too terribly loud.
### Latest WIP ###
I like the beginnings.
My biggest gripe with ruins are that they are generally too too grand. A small ruin has charm and believability. If there was enough for a grand ruin it would probably be pulled down for the stone.
If you think about what it would cost to build that's a pretty significant ruin!
Agreed. If there is a reason for it to be built, there can be tons of reasons for it to to not have been cannibalized: plague, drought/famine, monster attacks(lizard men for example), insanity, undead, rebellion, cursed, magical destruction(though perhaps partial ruining the castle), etc. Any combination of these (and surely others) would account for the abandonment and superstition could keep people away from the fort.
Of course, with a name like Fort Lost, I assume it has been abandoned so long that no one remembers the original name.

text: I have an issue with Android phones and MobileSync. I am running Zimbra version 6.0.10_GA_2692 Network version on SuSE 10 64 bit system. I have a mixture of mobile devices. I have Window based phones, Apple based, and Android based. The Window and Apple based phones work without incident. This tells me that Zimbra is configured and operating more or less correctly. My Droidx phones running Android 2.2.1 will sync mail without a problem. They will show calendar events that are initiated from the Web interface, and they have uploaded contacts from Zimbra, but no calendar or contacts from the phone will download back into Zimbra. I have set the phones to sync with corporate sync and they seem to setup okay, but as explained only work half way. Any ideas?

We have problem with Zimbra when recieving large messages (35MB+).
Global settnings / MTA / Max Message Size is set to 50000.
We are running Suse 10.0 32-bit on a machine with 1.5 GB ram, and Zimbra version 3.1.2_GA_445.suse10.
When running at the default setting we are able to recieve 30MB mails but not 35MB.
What happens is that Tomcat crashes with this output in zimbra.log.
--- snip
2006-06-22 09:51:43,002 FATAL [LmtpServer-2] [] system - Fatal error occurred while handling connection java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
After reading another post on this forum we changed the Java heap size to 50% of total memory and was then able to get the 35MB mail through.
Also a single 50MB message was accepted, but not recieving 5 simultaneous 50MB messages, that craches Tomcat.
We also tried recieving 10000 10KB messages and that was no problem.
From looking at the logs it seems OK as long as the mail is handled by Postfix, but when postfix/lmtp tries to send the mail to Zimbra it leads to the above problem.
Anyone have a clue why this happens? Running out of memory with a ~450MB heap size and a 35MB mail seems strange.

It's the final duck march at Orlando's Peabody
Published: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 11:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 11:25 a.m.
ORLANDO — The Peabody Hotel ducks are about to make their last march in Orlando.
The final march is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday at the Orlando hotel, which has been sold and will soon reopen as a Hyatt Regency.
The duck march has been daily tradition since the Peabody opened on Nov. 1, 1986. Every afternoon, guests gather to watch the ducks walk from the elevator to the fountain.
Duck master Donald Tompkins told Orlando's WESH TV (bit.ly/1bmhleW ) taking care of the ducks has been a "unique and different" experience.
The ducks will be moving to a farm, where they'll live out their lives.
The march of the ducks will continue at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn.

I join the Chairman and Co-Chairman in welcoming Foreign Minister de Hoop Scheffer. We appreciate having the opportunity to discuss with you the many critical issues facing the OSCE and I want to thank you for your leadership.
I also want to thank you for your hospitality and your participation in the Annual Meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Rotterdam in July. In my view, as Vice President of the Assembly, it is essential that the delegations in Vienna and the members of the Parliamentary Assembly work more closely together as we face the challenges ahead.
Mr. Chairman, let me also commend the Foreign Minister for the hard work he has undertaken on an issue that many of us have been leaders on here in Congress: anti-Semitism.
As you know, Mr. Minister, this past spring, I represented the United States Congress, along with our Chairman and my friend Representative Smith at the OSCE Conference to Combat anti-Semitism. Moreover, at recent OSCE conferences, I have joined with my U.S. colleagues in introducing resolutions condemning the escalation of anti-Semitism in OSCE member-states, as well as commending many countries for their continued efforts to combat anti-Semitism. In the last six months, I have also had the opportunity to speak on this important topic with members of the Anti-Defamation League here in Washington and back in my home state of Florida. We all know that the ADL is instrumental in raising awareness and encouraging tolerance. I have introduced legislation combating anti-Semitism and seeking to secure reparations for Holocaust survivors, an issue with which this Commission has spent a great deal of time. Of course, Mr. Minister, I look forward to your continued leadership on this issue as we look forward not only to the conference on xenophobia but also next year's conference on anti-Semitism in Berlin.
Mr. Minister, I commend you for your focus on implementing the Charter on Terrorism and combating trafficking in human beings, drugs and arms. Clearly, trafficking in human beings is modern day slavery and an egregious violation of human rights. It destroys human beings and destabilizes the societies and economies of the region. The work of this year's Economic Forum and the adoption of the Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings will assist the OSCE states in countering this scourge. Chairman Smith is the guiding light here in the U.S. Congress in fighting trafficking in human beings. He recently reintroduced his Trafficking Victims Protection Act which will further strengthen U.S. law and programs to punish the traffickers and save the victims.
Mr. Minister, thank you again for appearing before us. I look forward to hearing you assessment of the current state of affairs in the OSCE region as well as your vision for the future of the organization.
I look forward to our continued work together and I look forward to seeing you in Maastricht.

Mississippi lawmakers didn't approve any new bond debt in 2012, but they're expected to consider at least a modest package during 2013. How modest may be up to Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, whose attempt to cut borrowing last year was a key element in the decision to authorize no new debt.
State borrowing can finance a number of needs in Mississippi, including new construction and building renovation for community colleges, universities and state agencies, as well as money to aid new businesses, build new bridges on county roads and buy fire trucks.
Reeves wants the Legislature to pay for some of those needs each year using cash instead of credit. He's also aiming to trim the ability of the Mississippi Development Authority to borrow without legislative approval.

Wrist: Ruptured Tendon
Julian Assange would have a better chance of perusing CIA documents in the national archive than doctors have of finding any research about climbing injuries. In this instance, however, knowledge of climbing injuries is not especially necessary, and both the chiro and PT have given you sound advice.
Based on your description, it sounds like you ruptured the radio-ulna ligament and have developed radial-ulna joint instability. The lump you describe is the now-unrestrained ulna sticking out the side. Don't worry too much about injuring the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFC) that sits between the ulna and the carpal bones on that side—you already have!Taping the wrist will work reasonably well. However, increasing stability by way of compression is about as rudimentary as the well-known prosthesis of Captain James Hook. The ulna-side carpal bones will tend to drift forward, primarily because you will have instability resulting from damaged ligaments and the probable disruption to the TFC complex. This disc contributes significantly to stability on the little-finger side of your wrist.
Slopers will hurt because the mechanics of your wrist now operate much like a bunch of coins in a tumble dryer. Pinches will hurt because your wrist is typically flexed to the little-finger side, exerting direct stress on the injured structures, especially the TFC complex. Surgery is still an option, but most surgeons are loath to do it because it is both difficult and prone to failure. My concern with taping is that it may not provide sufficient stability to prevent further degeneration of the TFC complex and carpal joints, resulting in significant arthritic degeneration down the line. Hand specialist. MRI. Many factors will determine the best course of action, not least of all the extent of damage.

With Eli Manning, the Super Bowl MVP, at its focal point, New York "Daily News" Giants beat writer Ralph Vacchiano's "Eli Manning: The Making of a Quarterback" is a fascinating insider's look at the National Football League, how stars are made and crushed, and how fortunes are won and lost on the performance of one man: the quarterback. From the bold draft-day trade that brought Manning to New York, through his dramatic ups and downs on and off the field, his first training camp to his last minute heroics in Super Bowl XLII, Vacchiano takes a candid and revealing look at the people and events that made the success of Manning and his 2007 Giants one of the greatest stories in modern sports history. It's completed with exclusive interviews with NFL stars, coaches and executives, and has a forward by former Giants General Manager Ernie Accorsi. Vacchiano uses his unfettered access to the World Champion Giants to present a true behind-the-scenes look at the quarterback and team that defied all of the experts and oddsmakers to pull off perhaps the most phenomenal upset in pro football history.

Institute of Archaeology
MA in Archaeology
Co-ordinator: Todd Whitelaw
The MA in Archaeology is a demanding introduction to current archaeological theory and interpretive trends. The MA is structured around the core courses, a weekly seminar discussing the historical development and current issues in archaeological theory. Additionally, students chose from a large set of graduate course options covering all world regions, time periods, and specialised theoretical topics. A 15,000-word dissertation on a subject of the student's choice, supervised by a member of staff, is also required. Flexibility is a strength of this MA; the course serves as an excellent expansion of undergraduate studies or as a self-designed foundation for further post-graduate and professional work.

GEM for f/9 4" refractor?
Posted 11 June 2009 - 07:12 PM
I am thinking possibly an Orion Skyview Pro, and I actually have an offer for an older one, but it has the thinner 1.5" tripod legs rather than the more robust 1.75". Is this likely to work well for up to 13-14 pounds? Are there better options in the same range? Are manual slo-mo controls easy enough to use that motors are luxury items or would I likely regret not getting motors?
I should state my needs are solely visual and I will rarely be much over 200X. I just want to be able to track the moon and planets. I will probably use my alt-az Giro mostly but would like a GEM for Saturn and Jupiter extended viewing.
Open to any input from experienced GEM users with longish 4" refractor setups, now or in the past. Again, thinking cheap & competent rather than pricey and wow.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 07:39 PM
it "kinda" did the trick. Relatively stable and all that.
There really is no substitute for a SOLID mount that doesn't jiggle every time you touch the focus or align the finder. Guess you can say I've become spoiled, and so I'd recommend a G-11 class mount or better. It'll grow with you as your interest grows.
Did I mention I hate cheap shaky mounts?
Posted 11 June 2009 - 08:28 PM
I do understand what you are saying, and that's advice that I would hope to follow in the future. HOWEVER, at this point and given my finances, the choice is simple: good, solid & inexpensive (under $300 used) or NOTHING.
My most pressing concern: should I pass on the SVP with the smaller legs or would it suffice for a telescope of my size? I have been made an excellent offer, but it would not be a bargain if it wouldn't work well for my Celestron C102F. Should I hold out for one with larger legs or go with something else that would work better within my parameters?
Posted 11 June 2009 - 08:29 PM
Not as an inexpensive route compared to some but if you are going used anyway then consider you can buy parts and fix it yourself rather than have to ship the whole thing to repair to get it fixed. I kinda like mine if you cant tell
Posted 11 June 2009 - 08:32 PM
I used a CG5 Go-to over a Vixen HAL 110 to carry a Vixen 140. Not super stable, but quite good for visual observing and it is really astonishing how light the HAL 110 Tripod is. The HAL 130 weighs just a bit more.
The steel legs are a bit stiffer than the HAL 130s, but of course the LXD75 and CG5 Go-to mounts now come with those, and you can pick up the whole mount for $4 to 450 these days. Either will be fine for a 4".
The elegant option is a Super Polaris with wooden legs the 9 volt battery in the handset. These are beautiful mounts. The wood legs are stiff and light. The 9 vdc battery will run the mount in RA for hours. But these are hard to find.
I highly recommend the RA drive. The Dec drive is not at all necessary because the Dec slow motion control is always just under the the end of the telescope. YOu use the handset for slight tweaks in RA, and the slow motion for slight tweaks in Dec.
I have an older Polaris (not Super Polaris) with the 9VDC RA drive and a set of Vixen HAL 110 legs. Love it. Can even be used in Alt Az mode. Ah, but it is maybe just a little light for a 4" refractor (though it used to be sold with a 114 reflector on it). Anyway, it is super-light weight. I can carry the mount with a C5 on it with the power supply, counterweight, and all the eyepieces in one trip. Could not do this with a 4" refractor, but just giving you an idea of how light everything can be.
So, Polaris on wooden legs with RA drive would be a sweet setup for a C102F.
Or a more expensive option would be a GP with HAL 130 legs.. A classy mount and BEAUTIFUL for the telescope if it is the older green trim.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 08:50 PM
Polaris might be an option, though sounds like I would be on the cusp of weight with my refractor, especially if loaded with binoviewer and 2 EPs.
I don't hear any love for the Orion SVP at this point...
Posted 11 June 2009 - 09:18 PM
I have all the motor options for it: TrueTrack, SynScan GoTo, none of them are without annoyances in operation and I swap them in and out frequently. Currently using it with no motors, though that isn't going to last long either. I don't see any other variants as having any better solutions, though, they all work the same, operationally (the infernal clutch for tracking drive, heavy power supply and lots of keypresses to get tracking with the GoTo system). Losmandy is one with a good alternative approach for this, but I was never able to justify the cost, especially not being convinced I wasn't going to want some form of manual slo-mo control after living with it for awhile.
The only addition to my SVP that's been a complete success is a flex control stalk for the Dec.
For stability, I think the SVP with a strong wooden tripod ought to be pretty good.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 09:28 PM
Thanks. A bit depressing... but thanks. I guess one makes do with what one can afford. I want a Ferrari, but my Subaru works.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 10:31 PM
A non-GOTO CG5 was plenty stable for my 4 inch F/9.8. The slow motion controls are a must for me. I can do without a tracking mount but not micro controls. Keep looking and you'll find a used one in your price range. You will then have a very nice to use setup with that sweet refractor.
Good luck
Posted 11 June 2009 - 10:58 PM
Have I got the distinctions correct?
I know there is a nice CG-5 for sale about an hours drive from me, but so far the price is a bit too high. I do see them in my price range occasionally, so it is good to know they are good options.
I think the CG-5 and Orion SVP are meant as competitors. Are they comparable quality? Or is one superior? Anyone with an opinion based on first hand experience with both?
Posted 11 June 2009 - 11:17 PM
Posted 11 June 2009 - 11:47 PM
Thanks. That helps clear a bit of the fog out of my cranium.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 08:46 AM
I tried using a flex stalk for manual RA tracking but didn't find that very useable, it's easier to rest one's hand on the mount than hold it up all by yourself to reach the flex stalk knob.
I really dislike the clutch that comes with the RA tracking motor. I keep studying it to come up with some way to make it better. I've been spoiled from many years with my LX10 where one does not have to disengage tracking to turn the manual slo-mo control. Why this was not a design requirement for Vixen-type GEMs from day 1 I'll never know.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 09:02 AM
GM-8 may be in my future but not my here-and-now. I don't think they can be had for less than a $1000.
Polaris might be an option, though sounds like I would be on the cusp of weight with my refractor, especially if loaded with binoviewer and 2 EPs.
I don't hear any love for the Orion SVP at this point...
Posted 12 June 2009 - 12:59 PM
You may be right, but the cheapest I saw recently was $850 PLUS shipping and everything else was $1000 or more. I did see that $750 offering - but the seller is in the Netherlands, and the mount is shipping from the American Virgin islands.Buyer pays shipping! That will be a BIG shipping bill...
But even $750 is beyond what I can justify right now. I do understand what you are saying, that a good quality mount is a wise investment long-term. I know you can ruin a good telescope with a shoddy mount. It's just a matter of practical economics for me at this point, though I do hope to one day upgrade.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 01:07 PM
I am intrigued by your LX10 remark on disengaging gears. Does that mean that any SVP or CG5 that has motors must be disengaged before using the slo-mo controls? Are there any mounts that I could get in the same general price range of these two suitable for a f/9 refractor that automatically disengage when manually nudged? Anyone can answer...
Posted 12 June 2009 - 01:31 PM
Posted 12 June 2009 - 01:36 PM
In theory, to avoid messing with the clutch you'd just use the hand controller to run the motors to center the object, for Orion though the max speed is 8x, rather painfully slow. Vixen does have 32x for this on recent mounts, which is good enough, but you probably won't find one in the price range you are hoping for. Motor systems for Vixen are really expensive, so there don't seem to be many available used.
The GoTo systems for the mounts don't even offer drive clutches. They do offer fast-enough centering speeds with the hand controller though.
All these mounts can be pushed-to while tracking by disengaging the axis locks. In this way they can be operated just like the Losmandy mounts, however, there'll likely be more stiction than Losmandys have (since those were designed with clutches meant for just for this usage) making centering at high powers not much fun. I've tried to use my SVP this way but it quickly becomes annoying. It really needs the slo-mo controls. The Losmandy drive system offers a 16x speed that goes to 32x after a couple seconds I believe, so that should work pretty well too, for those times when push-to centering is not getting it done easily enough.
The old-fashioned SCT wedged-fork tracking systems decided early on to provide two nested gear rings in the base, one for the drive pinion/worm, the other for the manual slo-mo pinion. Unfortunately Vixen did not go this way. Wish they had. Their drive systems look an awful lot like an afterthought, and of course the clones just went with it.
I like my SVP the best with no motors at all, I seem to come in from a viewing session least annoyed when it's set up that way. It has the further advantage of looking better without the motor drive cover in place, a quite ugly box-like plastic appendage on all these types of mounts, even Vixen.

I wrote a couple of responses before I caught a followup post from the OP that said he was looking to keep it under $300..
Based on that, I would say "Good Luck." I still think the best deal in a used mount would be an older SP or GP because these are really excellent mounts, with true Slow Motion (though again, the Vixen Slow Mo doesn't work in RA until you undo the drive clutch).
Otherwise, the only real choice here will be used CG5 or clone.
If I were limited to only $300, I would go with an LXD55. They are a bit shaky, but you can stiffen them up, and while they don't have mecanical slow motion, if you don't mind having to power it, you can at least get a bunch of electronic slow motoin speeds.
This is actually the kind of mount I use on my TV 101. Not the most stable mount in the world, but since you don't ever have to touch it for sweeping and slewing, it works well enough, and you can buy a used LXD55 for less than a Vixen GP (though it is not as sturgy).. And in fact, I sold the Vixen GP to go to a small Go-To.. So that should say SOMETHING.
But some people don't want to mess with power cords or even limited setup. They just want to plop and go. Though you can have an LXD running in less than a minute, many people don't want to mess with it.
Me? I found having the electronic motors for slow motion to be 50 times better than messing with clutches and worring about balance.
I LIKE my LXD55. These mounts get little respect because people think you have to "Super-charge" them or whatever it is called. I picked up mine used for less than $300 and I think it represents one of the most outlandish bargians in used equipment.. Heck the PARTS are worth more than that! LOL.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 02:09 PM
For $300, there is only one choice.. LXD55.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 02:23 PM
Just so the message doesn't get lost in the long response above...
For $300, there is only one choice.. LXD55.

It's a shame you can't spring $600 for a new LXD-75 or CG-5. I do not think you are likely to get something acceptable for $300. Maybe you should wait and accumulate some more money.

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin
'Small world' discoveries can be fascinating . . .
We were working with a consultant from Lincoln who had come to help us set a direction for our community foundation and evaluate what goals we want to work toward for the future of the community.
It's amazing what kind of brainstorming is created when you focus on success stories from the past, then dream and realize that maybe those dreams can become reality. Setting a positive direction, believing in it and working toward a common goal are key.
Marcia, the consultant, stressed this point when she mentioned that John F. Kennedy stated in 1961 that man would walk on the moon. She said that Kennedy died in 1963 and did anyone know what year man set foot on the moon? Her point was that even though he was gone, the vision still became reality.
I remembered. 1969.
I didn't say out loud how I remembered, but I was 10 years old at Girl Scout Cedar Point Camp near Ogallala and we watched it on a little T.V.
Imagine my surprise when Marcia confirmed that it was 1969. She shared that she was at Girl Scout Cedar Point Camp.
"So was I," I exclaimed. What a small world. We had no recollection that we had spent a historic moment together nearly 40 years earlier. I love "small world" stories and you run into them everywhere.
A week later, I was at a dinner in Lincoln following an all-day meeting. It came up that my husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this year. Les from across the table asked what month.
Turns out that he and his wife were married the day before us. Whoa. We were honeymooning at the same time and were shocked to go on to learn that we were all in Kansas City. Who knows? Maybe we saw each other. Yes, it's a small world.
Many people have heard my favorite small world story more than once but when that's the subject, I can't pass up telling it again.
My brother was riding the chair lift at a ski resort years ago with a man with an accent. Conversation found my brother learning that he was from Australia. My brother mentioned that he has an uncle that moved there to develop irrigation and ended up marrying an Ausie and staying to raise a family.
Lo and behold, this guy asked if my brother's uncle was Bob Christensen. He worked with him. Now what are the chances? These were men from different countries who by chance ended up at the same ski resort on the same day, ended up on the same chair, and ended up small talking to discover they had a like acquaintance. Wow.
But the story doesn't end there. I lived in Wauneta at the time and wrote a column about this "small world" discovery. After the paper was out, my neighbor came over to tell me that she had dated my uncle in high school. I had no idea that she had lived in the same area as my mom's family in Colorado.
We communicate to children "Don't talk to strangers," but I do it all the time and it sure can be interesting what you find out.
My folks had been on a cruise in years back and one of the day stops was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When they returned, my Dad called his brother for one of those occasional check ins to learn that they had just returned from a vacation also, ironically to Puerto Vallarta. My aunt and uncle had actually watched a cruise ship come in and saw the cruisers getting off the ship from a distance. She had even commented that one of the men walked just like my dad. Little did she know at the time that it really was him.
They could have had lunch together in another country but didn't make that "small world" connection.
What's your story? It seems like practically everyone has one. Often times it just takes a little chit chat with strangers to discover it.

New York is a sweltering urban jungle in the midsummer heat. Tarmac streets shimmer in the midday sun, and warm garbage smells permeate the air. Anyone who is anyone flees from Manhattan melt in June, July, and August in search of sea breezes and margaritas in the Hamptons – but if you find yourself on the grid in the sweltering sun, here are my top tips to beat the heat.
1. Head to the water
It is easy to forget that New York is, essentially, an island. You probably only need to walk a few short blocks in search of a breeze off the Hudson. For the adventurous, New York is a great place to sail, paddle board, or even jet ski. For the rest of us, South Street Seaport is the place to head for pubs on piers. For a quiet stroll or jog… Read more

Bar Code & RFID Label Printing: Options for Printing from SAP
October 22, 2013
Generating bar code and RFID labels from the SAP environment is not always a straightforward process. The various versions and generations of SAP solutions are oriented to document printing and do not offer native support for most the specialized thermal printers used for bar code and RFID labeling. That means either the SAP solution or the printer has to be enabled to be compatible.
This white paper profiles the SAP output options for Intermec bar code and RFID label printers. It provides an overview of the five primary methods for producing bar code and RFID labels from the SAP environment (direct connection, SAPscript programming, XML printing, printer emulation and middleware); explains which of these options are available for SAP R/3, SAP AII and SAP Business Suite users; and details how Intermec supports each method.

How do I get my direct tv remote RC65 to control my RCA audio surround sound dvd am, fm receiver system, model #RTD325W?
Try code 31254, forget about powering it ON & OFF, not with rca's use two key power scheme, you won't be able to do both.
To get the volume, with a tv code programmed to the tv device, do the following:
1. av1 or av2
2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT, wait for two blinks, release
3. enter 9 9 3
4. press SELECT

I need to control my H24 by RF, since it is located in a closet behind the TV, but the TV only has IR remote capibilities (which only makes sense, because why would anyone not have LOS to the TV?).
I know that the RC65R can only control the DirecTV receiver in RF or IR mode, but not both. If I set the RC65R to control the H24 in RF mode, will it still turn the TV on and off and control the volume on the TV (normally, pass-through features on DirecTV remotes), and will the remote do that without having to slide the switch from DirecTV to TV?
Posted 16 March 2012 - 10:01 AM
Posted 16 March 2012 - 10:15 AM
Yes, RF only affects the receiver everything else works normally.
Thanks for the reply. That will make my wife very happy.

Recently a few of my keys are getting kind of sticky. That is, when depressed they are slow to spring back to original position. Any simple fix for this?
Not that simple but you can disassemble the remote and clean it. The procedure is located in the Remote FAQ located here: http://apicdn.viglin...splay.php?f=115

EDIT: Never mind. The PDF explained it although the section on the 9** entries doesn't repeat that you have to start with "mute+select" to recognize the 9** entries. I'm a little slow mentally and eventually remembered that I always started a remote programming sequence with those keys.
I will probably be back though as I am now going to try to get the thing to control my Denon receiver for the audio. The on-screen instructions are slightly out of whack as I have been through this exercise many times in the past and doing it exactly like the instructions say doesn't work. It's missing a key or a sequence or something. If anyone knows what I am talking about please do reply.

Press and hold Mute and Select untill the light above mode switch flashes twice.

Did that. Check my edit above. Need more advanced help though.

A Google search should turn a code right up.
Did you put in the code to control TV volume while in the DirecTV position?

I currently use a RC64 remote. I want to go to RF. Can someone explain to me the differences in the RC65r and the RC65RX? BTW, I am not interested in backlit models. My HD DVR is an HR 22 and TV is Samsung.
In the model RC6x "R" is for RF, "B" is backlit, "X" is for those that auto program with TVs.
So RC6x is IR only
RC6xR is RF
RC6xRB is RF & backlit
RC6xRBX has it all
Posted 03 December 2012 - 08:38 AM
I've got an HR-20 and the original remote with it... (I think -I'm not at home to check the model, but I think it's a RC64R)
The remote works 4 ft away from the reviver, but no further. Direct line of sight, no obstructions.
Also it seems like it needs to "warm up" and becomes "faster" after I've been watching TV for a bit.
I haven't tested all the scenarios, but the setup is in my basement. The TV is Sony 60 inch LCD Backlit with LED (??) and I have a low ceiling (7ft or less) with 8 recessed cans with fluorescent bulbs in them. So I've read that the "light" could be an issue.
I've gone to channel 1 for several minutes.
I've done the whole (mute+select....)
But with no luck. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to call and get a new remote? $15 for a replacement won't break me...but It seems as part of a "leased" reciever that I should get one for free if it doesn't work.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 09:09 AM
First thing is to check and replace the batteries as they might be low.
Second, a piece of Blue painters tape placed over the sensor for the remote ( just to the right of the power light on the receiver ) or a piece of Scotch tape and darkened with a Marks a Lot of Sharpy will keep out the unwanted IR interference.
Another sure fire way to do away with it is to change the Remote and Receiver to operate using the RF signal instead of the IR. This is only available with a remote with the R after the number.

Solid Signal, Monoprice, eBay is where I'd look first for a new remote. The difference might buy you an inexpensive lunch.

you should probably post a link to your games kickstarter.
considering this by the way
Good afternoon.
We are in the process of bringing a new project to KickStarter, and the Team would like to transform our internal map of the Deeps into something beautiful for our fans.
Here are the details on the request:
Paid: Please e-mail us at Academagia ~at~ gmail ~dot~ com to discuss commission.
Time Constraints
Ideally, this would be complete in one week.
We are open to fantasy styles in general.
Description of Maps
Our map depicts the major settlements, caverns, rivers, features and tunnel systems of the Upper Deeps. This is the information which our players will need, although how it is presented will be up to you, as a map-maker.
Quality & Size
We would prefer Professional, but can accept semi Professional.
We have no specific size requirements- the artist may use their discretion for what is necessary to portray the map to best effect.
We will have copyright of the map, and will allow the artist to exhibit the image as part of their portfolio.

Thanks for the advice- the KickStarter is unreleased; we'd like to have this map feature into our presentation, in fact.
If you are interested in working on it, by all means, please contact us at the e-mail address above.

An exquisitely restored 1963 BSA Rocket Goldstar, owned by Jerry Garrett from Dayton, Nev., won Best of Show at the 2012 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Dave Mungenast Memorial Concours d'Elegance. The bike show, part of AMA Legends Weekend, featured amazingly restored and original masterpieces from all areas of motorcycling.
Garrett says he has always had a passion for BSAs.
"I grew up with A10 BSAs in the early '60s, for my everyday
transportation and for dirt riding, and during high school even worked
for Bob Chaves BSA in San Jose. I have owned A10s ever since," he says.
Photos from the event are available in the Hall of Fame's online photo gallery.
