Hi Zimbra Gurus,
I'm trying to import some contacts for a customer, (approx 1600), I've setup an export for a template but I get the following error when importing..
Unknown error for item (Unknown): Could not parse csv file - Reason : invalid format - header field 1 of 1 is too long (length=268)
I've trimmed out all the unused header fields, thus reducing the length=700 to length=268, but if I trim any more fields I start to loose data which is not ideal.
I've also saved only 100 contacts to attempt an import but have the same error so it's no the qty of records. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure I've sanatized the contacts as best as possible and with the template as generated by Zimbra, I'm not sure why it fails.
Anyways, appreciate your help in advance.

From the kitchens of www.eatingwell.com and the Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large potato, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 14-ounce cans vegetable broth, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 ounces broccoli crowns, cut into 1-inch pieces, stems and florets separated
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add onion, carrot and celery; cook, stirring often, until the onion and celery soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add potato and garlic; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Stir in flour, dry mustard and cayenne; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Add broth and broccoli stems; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Stir in florets; simmer, covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes more.
Transfer 2 cups of the chowder to a bowl and mash; return to the pan.
Stir in Cheddar and sour cream; cook over medium heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the chowder is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
Terri's notes:
~ DO, just double the recipe from the start, it's that good and only makes 6 cups.
~ I prefer to buy and use only the broccoli crowns.
~ I just use my hand held potato masher and mash around in the whole pot, carefully, until it's the consistency I'd like it to be, more chunky, less, it's easy to see how it's changing –and then stop.
~ Don't overcook after you've added the cheese and sour cream, it can separate.

I have been having this issue for the last 4 months now.
I had ZD installed once on my system via the admin account, but used it with another user's account. After I noticed I cannot delete the attachments(that came from ZD) that have been stored on my desktop, without admin rights, I have removed ZD with the help of an admin.
Now, some time later, I am trying to get it to run again, to no avail im afraid.
Basically, I now have an admin account and all privileges associated with it. After I install either ZD 2.1 or 7b1, and then click on the desktop icon. Nothing happens. Zimbra does not start, nothing at all happens. The mouse icon does not even change to tell you that "something is being done".
This happens on both versions.
I have installed the following to ensure I am not missing any prerequisites:
Net Framework 4
C++ Redist (latest)
Java (latest)
My Zimbra related locations:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop (this only has a empty prism folder inside)
Any suggestions what might be wrong?
Many thanks in advance.

1956 Ford F-100 - One Fine '56Written by on October 24, 2011 Contributors: Mike Chase
Back in 1960, Walter Young of Danville, California, owned a Big-Window '56 Ford F-100. With a louvered hood and custom interior it was a looker, but unfortunately the 29-year-old construction worker didn't have room to keep it, so the hauler went to a new owner.
As the years rolled by, Walter's interest in hot rods and trucks continued, and even with a Model A roadster pickup and a '32 Ford roadster in the garage, there was something missing—that something was an F-100. Walter shared that he started looking for another '56 Ford when an old friend, Terry Elby owner of Elby's Auto Parts in Hayward, California, who told him of a '56 F-100 in Oregon. Walter contacted the truck's owner and set up a meeting at the airport in Eugene, Oregon. After taking a look at it, a deal was made and the next day, the pickup was transported to California.
Walter drove the truck for a while thinking about what should be done to it. After six months a decision was made. He said, "I wanted it stock looking but with updated components." The truck was disassembled and the body went out to be soda blasted. To everyone's amazement, there was no rust and not a patch panel to be found; The body was in great shape. The next decision regarding who was to put the truck back together was easy. It was off to Eddie Swisher's one-man shop in Suisun City, California, for all the mechanical work, painting, wiring and assembly. "Eddie built the '32 roadster I own. His methodical and precise workmanship is like no other. There isn't a detail left undone," according to Walter.
Reassembly of the truck began with a new Total Cost Involved chassis. The stainless steel independent front suspension is equipped with coilovers, antiroll bar, and rack-and-pinion steering. GM calipers, along with a Ford master cylinder and booster on a TCI pedal assembly, generate stopping power. In back, a 9-inch Ford axle equipped with 3.50:1 gears is mounted on chromed leaf springs.
While Walter's truck looks conservative, under the hood a 347-inch small-block Ford churns out 431 hp and 421 pounds of torque. Built by Smeding Performance, the Windsor block has been equipped with a hydraulic roller cam, full roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, a Performer Air-Gap dual-plane manifold with a 650-cfm Performer carburetor. Exhaust is carried away by stock Windsor-style manifolds that connect to Hushpower mufflers through 2½-inch pipes. Behind the engine is a Ford AOD by Golden Gate Transmissions in Pleasanton, California.
With the mechanical components taken care of, Eddie turned his attention to the body. Other than tucked-in bumpers and a tilt hood, the F-100's body looks just as it did when it left the factory, only better. Eddie made sure the sheetmetal was perfectly straight and all the gaps were uniform before squirting the DuPont Chromabase basecoat/clearcoat.
Is the second time around with an F-100 everything Walter hoped it would be? You be the judge. When asked what his most memorable experience he's had with the truck Walter replied, "Driving down the freeway in Danville for the first time and a young guy came by and gave me the thumbs up." We'll bet Walter doesn't let this '56 get away. CCT

While primarily stock on the outside, under the tilt hood it's a different story. Power comes from a Smeding Performance built 347-inch small-block Ford. Under the Cadillac-style air cleaner is an Edelbrock Performer carburetor. Vintage Air supplied the Front Runner drive system.The bed has been treated to new planks and stainless steel rub strips. Rear lights are stock replacements from Vintage Ford.ABC Upholstery in Vacaville, California, covered the stock seat and door panels with tan leather and the floor with matching wool carpet. A Panasonic receiver and speakers are mounted in a tray under the seat, which has been lowered 2 inches.

Currie Enterprises 9-Plus Housing Build - Making Of A HousingWritten by on January 4, 2011 Currie Enterprises 9-Plus Housing Build
By replacing an old worn straight-six motor with a 300-plus horsepower motor you will likely wear out the stock transmission and, more importantly, the stock rearend. We will save the transmission for another story and focus on the rear housing of '55-59 Chevy chassis. Rear axles and housings tend to confuse a lot of people when searching for what they think they need, but what you think you might need and what would work best for your application just may be two different things. Will a full locker work for a normal street truck or 28-spline axles for drag racing? Maybe they will, but in a practical application a locking rear differential will wear out your rear tires prematurely in a daily driver, and the strength of 31-splined axles are no match for the 28-splined nontapered stock axles.
So to take some confusion out of the equation I made a phone call to Currie Enterprises of Anaheim, California, and asked if they could share some of their years of experience and knowledge of rear axles. Brian at Currie Enterprises invited me to take a shop tour and show me the process of how a normal order would make it through the shop. Walking around their giant warehouse full of axles and housings I noticed one thing right away: This is all they do. Countless employees were working away and Brian pointed out that each employee has a very specific job to perform in order to complete a single housing. This means one employee will machine the tubes to length and another will set and tack-weld them on, while a qualified welder will finish welding the tubes in place. This assembly line style of housing production ensures each employee knows that part of the build very well.
I started my order with Currie knowing that my stock axle on my Chevy Fleetside was 63 inches wide from end to end. I also knew that I would be putting the much wider 8x16 rear wheels from Wheel Vintiques and 205/60R16 American Classic 11/2-inch whitewalls from Coker Tires. Measuring for a replacement Currie Enterprises rear axle is really straightforward if you know what to look for. The first thing I look at is the wheel placement in relation to the outer fenders and framerails. Also, look for the bedwood on the inside of the fenderwell. After you measure and are happy with the overall length of the housing you will need to figure out your pinion offset. The pinion offset is the rearend input yoke's side-to-side relation to the driveshaft and the transmission. If your transmission's rear yoke is offset then you will need to measure the pinion offset to match. Otherwise the rearend, driveshaft, U-joints, and transmission will suffer from the extreme angles and misalignment. In my case the pinion offset was zero and the overall housing length from end to end was measured at 621/4 inches.

After the parts and measurements were entered into the computer a work order of all the specifications and parts being used was printed. Here is a Currie Enterprises 9-Plus housing center before mock-up.Here Alfonso drilled a hole for a fill cap. This should make for easier service under harsh conditions.The next step was off to Javier, where he installed a mock-up third member case and secured the housing to a fixture.The axle tubes were placed in the housing followed by a long metal rod that will assist in checking the axle tube straightness.Ford Torino-style ends were placed on the end of the tubes along with an alignment plate and secured with Vise-Grips.The tubes are measured and cut to proper length as determined by Currie's computer when the overall length is put into the system during ordering.
After measuring for the correct length from end to end Javier tack-welds the inner tube and the outer ends on. When tack-welding the tubes he makes sure to move from the passenger side to the driver side while welding to reduce warpage.The invoice numbers are stamped into the top of the passenger-side tube for easy identification. Currie uses this number to tell what parts were used inside the housing and third member during the build, in case you lose the information.After Javier was done with the mock-up the housing was turned over to the finish welder, Mark. The housing was placed on a machine that will turn the axle via foot control when Mark is welding. This makes welding much more uniform around the tubes. The outer tube ends will remain tacked at this point until final welding is done.Mark sprays antispatter before welding. This will reduce the spatter from welding sticking to the housing.Using a TIG welder Mark tacked one side of the fill bung and moved to the opposite side and tacked that as well. By tacking both sides it reduces the chance of moving during welding.With the top fill bung all welded the bottom drain was tacked in from the top and then welded from the inside and outside.
Since I will be installing a new rear suspension from Classic Performance Products I had no idea what the pinion angle was going to be. I headed over to Barnes Fabrications in San Marcos, California, so Jesse Barnes could help set up the rear suspension.Since the rear suspension is brand new with new bushings we can lightly snug down the U-bolts and measure to see that the axle is set to equal length. You can measure from several spots on the housing but I chose to measure from spring perch to the axle ends.Here is a little tip when setting up your housing pinion angle and side-to-side measurements. I used a set of eight regular nuts to snug down the U-bolts for mock-up only, because I wanted to tighten the supplied Nyloks down only once. Don't use the nonlocking nuts for final install.The next step is to set the pinion angle. Jesse used a pinion centerline gauge tool made by Mittler Bros. and set a magnetic angle finder on the flat surface of the tool. We were looking to set the pinion angle at 3 degrees.At this point the truck was set back down on a level surface with the weight of the vehicle set on the bottom of the U-bolt plate. If you don't have the bed on I would suggest putting it back on because the pinion angle will change toward zero when the weight is added.Recheck all your measurements and then do it again. Once you're satisfied on the housing placement you can tack the spring pads on all four corners.The tricky part here is not to weld one side all at once. It is necessary to start from one end and let it cool; then move on to the next side. Notice the length of the weld in this shot; Jesse continued this technique until the spring pads were fully welded. Currie recommends that after any welding is performed on the housing the housing be sent back in to Currie to be straightened.The housing was now taken back to Currie Enterprises, where Mark measured the tube lengths and finished welding the housing ends to the tubes.
Rafael sets the housing on a press and uses a machined rod that will go through the entire length of the housing, as well as machined go-no-go tool at the end of the tube being straightened. Rafael moved the tool in and out of the housing end while the press is applying pressure on the housing. When the tool slides in and out straight and easy, the housing is straight on that end. Rafael repeats this step on the other side.Check out this machine. It uses fine steel shot to clean the housing from rust or discoloration. Brian also said it smooths the welds real nice.This is after the machine gets done cleaning the housing. When the housing comes out of the machine it is almost too hot to touch.After the housing cooled down Armando set it on his fixture and clamped it down. He used a huge tap to clean the threads for the fill cap.A special tool was made to hammer the ends and not damage them. This step gets the cleaning machine debris out of the space between the axle tubes and housing center.A magnet is used to catch the cleaning machine debris while hammering. Notice the metal debris; the metal needs to be removed so the process will be repeated until Armando sees no metal inside.This metal brush cleans the inner housing and the inside of the tubes of any metal that may still be in the housing.

When we handed the reigns over to Sean Price to guest-edit HipHopDX for this week, he gave us this list. Truth be told, we didn't ask for it. But in the age of the Internet list, we wouldn't argue, especially with Sean P. Plus, we really liked some choices.
Some bonafied Hip Hop classics, some R&B picks, one of his efforts, a soundtrack and even an album that's less than a year old, here are Sean Price's all time Top 20 albums (ranked as they came to mind, not in order of preference), as told to HipHopDX Music Editor Kathy Iandoli:
1. The D.O.C. - No One Can Do it Better (1989, Ruthless/Atlantic)
What HipHopDX Says: This Dr. Dre & DJ Yella-produced debut album is the epitome of "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper." Sadly, the N.W.A. affiliate's first was also the only album he made before a car accident that permanently damaged his vocal chords. Dallas, Texas has still never found anybody who can do it better, as far as the raps go.
Must watch/listen: "The Doc & The Doctor"
2. Michael Jackson - Off the Wall (1979, Epic)
What HipHopDX Says: The Michael Jackson album that bridged Disco with what would become the Pop sound of the '80s. Although it lives in Thriller's shadow, it's a classic album from the one-two punch of M.J. and Quincy Jones. Hip Hop deejays still focus on this album, which showed Michael Jackson's solo genius, apart from his group with his brothers and solo success as a child.
Must watch/listen: "Don't Stop 'Til Ya Get Enough"
3. Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life (1976, Tamla)
What HipHopDX Says: Often considered Stevie Wonder's finest hour, this 1976 double-album caught the Motown genius in a period of particular greatness. His 18th overall effort was made in the midst of a block-buster label deal and Wonder's outspoken views on government during the Gerald Ford presidency. The resulting masterpiece prompted singles such as "Sir Duke," "Isn't She Lovely?" and "As." The #1 effort also featured session plauers near and dear to Hip Hop samplers: Bobbi Humphrey, Dorothy Ashby and George Benson.
Must listen: "Have A Talk With God"
4. N.W.A. - Niggaz4Life (1991, Ruthless/Priority)
What HipHopDX Says: The second of the two official N.W.A. albums, this effort features no Ice Cube. However, MC Ren really stepped into the group's clutch-hitting spot, while Dr. Dre's sample-style perfectly set the table for his solo success a year later on The Chronic. This album lacks the controversy and fanfare of Straight Outta Compton, but is a must-own for lovers of hardcore Hip Hop.
Must listen/watch: "Alwayz Into Somethin'"
5. Ice Cube - Amerikkka's Most Wanted (1990, Priority)
What HipHopDX Says: Ice Cube's solo debut was a five-mic kick to the face of the industry in early '90. This and 1991's Death Certificate are as good a one-two punch as you'll find in any soloist's catalog. Having left Dr. Dre & DJ Yella at N.W.A., Cube linked up with The Bomb Squad (of Public Enemy fame) and his C.I.A. teenage collaborator Sir Jinx. The result was a furrowed-brow Cube who was colder than Coor's Light on Pluto.
Must listen: "The Nigga Ya Love To Hate"
6. Ice Cube - Kill At Will (1990, Priority)
What HipHopDX Says: Less than two months after Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Cube hit fans with a seven-song EP that soon hit gold status. Produced by Sir Jinx, that album was a nice bridge between Amerikkka's Most and Death Certificate. The same time as Boyz N' The Hood was filming, Ice Cube was a golden-god. He didn't pull any punches, and Cube set a bully-rap precedent that would influence Tupac, 50 Cent and Game.
Must watch/listen: "Jackin' For Beats"
7. A Tribe Called Quest - Peoples' Instinctive Travels And The Paths of Rhythm (1990, Jive/RCA)
What HipHopDX Says: This album introduced one of the most important Hip Hop groups of all-time in A Tribe Called Quest. The quarter of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed and Jarobi were about telling stories, rocking crowds, and abstractions, all expressed over mosiac productions that made history.
Must watch/listen: "Can I Kick It?"
8. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory (1991, Jive/RCA)
What Sean Price Says: "The best album, ever."
Must watch/listen: "Buggin' Out"
9. De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising (1989, Tommy Boy)
What Sean Price Says: "I blame [De La Soul] for all the pastels. They're the reason- they was one of the first Kanye Wests."
Must watch/listen: "Potholes In My Lawn"
10. Jungle Brothers - Straight Out The Jungle (1988, Warlock)
What HipHopDX Says: An often overlooked but integral album to the Native Tongues story. This five-mic earner by the Jungle Brothers is a colorful statement on racial pride, African imagery, bridging 1970s Hip Hop with the new generation, and of course, safe sex. The recorded introduction of Q-Tip is also a benchmark in the Hip-House movement that's resurging in some of today's Rap records.
Must listen/watch: "Straight Out The Jungle"
11. Black Moon - Enta Da Stage (1993, Nervous)
What HipHopDX Says: This is the album that paved the Brooklyn roads for the Boot Camp Clik, incuding Sean Price. Buckshot and 5FT kicked concrete "gun-in-the-backpack" rhymes while DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt filtered samples in a way that made an album that sounded just as fuzzy and elevated as the men who made it.
Must listen: "Buck 'Em Down"
12. Mary J. Blige - Share My World (1997, MCA)
What Sean Price Says: "The story behind that one is: I was learning how to drive, and that tape was stuck in the car. It wouldn't come out. So by the third hour I was just singing Mary J. Blige records like I know the whole album, verbatim."
Must listen/watch: "I Can Love You" featuring Lil' Kim
13. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca & The Soul Brother (1992, Elektra)
What HipHopDX Says: This is a 20-year old classic album from the Mount Vernon, New York duo, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth. The pair's first full-length was is an amazing blend of knocking bass and introspective lyrics. Although the group had earned notoriety throughout the early '90s, this effort defined them, and elevated them to legends. Sadly, only one more LP followed. Both artists remain active today, still touring together on occassion.
Must listen/watch: "T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You)"
14. Main Source - Breaking Atoms (1991, Wild Pitch)
What HipHopDX Says: One of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever made. Large Professor stole the show with honest rhymes that veered between street commentary, police criticism and a benchmark break-up song. Extra P also produced some of the most heralded beats of all-time, while Sir Scratch and K-Cut (of Toronto, Ontario) both shared turntable duties. Within two years, Large Pro jetted from Main Source to pursue a solo career still burning strong today.
Must listen/watch: "Looking At The Front Door"
15. KA - Grief Pedigree (2012, Iron Works)
What HipHopDX Says: Like Sean Price, KA is a Brownsville, Brooklyn spitter. This has been one of the most slept-on albums of the year, tearing up our staff lists as we enter Year-End territory. KA comes from Natural Elements fame, and teamed with an emcee he has a lot of stylistic things in common with, Roc Marciano on this one. Last year's Iron Works LP is nothing to miss out on either.
Must listen/watch: "Decisions"
16. Roc Marciano - Marcberg (2010, Fat Beats)
What HipHopDX Says: This was a staff favorite of the crew in 2010. Flipmode Squad/The U.N.'s Roc Marciano made an epic comeback by going solo. The Hempstead, Long Island native self-produced this emcee allegedly during his homeboy Q-Tip's The Renaissance sessions. The result was the one of the grimiest, sparse views of New York, pimping, hustling and the world at large heard in ages. We're still hung up on the realness...
Must listen: "Snow"
17. Random Axe - Random Axe - (2011, Duck Down)
What HipHopDX Says: One of our albums of 2011, this collaborative effort between Sean Price, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson highlighted the Brooklyn-Detroit connection that's been looming for sometime. A carry-over between Jesus Price and Mic Tyson, this album was a benchmark moment in Sean Price's lyricism, and found him in the company of some of the best production he's had in his career.
Must watch/listen: "Chewbacca" featuring Roc Marciano
18. Curtis Mayfield - Short Eyes Soundtrack (1977, Curtom)
What Sean Price Says: "That's a movie about this guy- it's a jail movie, with a white guy in there [jail] for touching little black and Spanish girls, right? And when he get to jail, they come to find out that this one girl he got charged with, he didn't do. But when he's in jail, he admitted to the people that he do it to mad niggas and spics, so they fucked him in the ass and killed him."
Must listen: "Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here"
19. Redman - Muddy Waters (1996, Def Jam)
What HipHopDX Says: Often considered Redman's best solo album, this effort was a careful bridge between the darker subject matter and boom-bap heard on his first two solos, and a more charismatic listen. The videos here made Redman approachable, and he became a Def Jam juggernaut for the next 15 years.
Must listen/watch: "It's Like That (My Big Brother") featuring K-Solo
20. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele (2000, Epic/Sony/Razor Sharp)
What HipHopDX Says: One of the best albums of the '00s, as we've previously noted. This was a critical album to Ghostface Killah's classic catalog. RZA shared the duties on this effort with the likes of Beatnuts, Allah Mathematics and Carlos Bess, and 12 years later, nobody complained.
Must listen: "Mighty Healthy"

Great bull congrats! Ya the one that got away dang he's a big boy!
Thanks everyone. Elk hunting sure is addictive. Deer hunting will never be the same!
Congrats, any bull is a good bull, when you earn it. And I agree, deer hunting just isn't the same when you have hunted elk.

Great Bull Jimmy! I would sure be thrilled to get a bull like that.
Great Bull Especially for a first. The one that got away does looks like a toad and will make you hammer down for next year
Congrats on a beautiful bull!

I've been looking back at some of the garden pictures I've taken over the past month or so, and in particular at the plants and shrubs that bloom after the spring glut, but before main season summer-flowering species take over during the hottest part of the year. These are useful "bridging plants" that prevent flower beds from looking empty as one season gives way to another.
In fact, they're so useful for maintaining a steady stream of flowers that I intend to bulk up my stocks for next year, beginning with Mayapples:
Taking over nicely from springtime hepaticas, trilliums and Jack-in-the-pulpits are our native Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum, Zone 4) which produce fragrant white blooms underneath their leafy green "umbrellas." I grow them in full shade in moist, humus-rich soil where they spend the summer with various ferns and monkshoods; dryer soils will result in plants going dormant in midsummer. Spreading slowly via underground rhizomes (or stems), any unwanted plants are easy to pull out.

Alright then, I would like to try one. I happen to need an extra cue for my room, a cheapie. Can you post a link, mac? I like sneaky petes too, I have a meucci and a predator.... but not as my main cue.

Alright then, I would like to try one. I happen to need an extra cue for my room, a cheapie. Can you post a link, mac? I like sneaky petes too, I have a meucci and a predator.... but not as my main cue.
I am getting my latest lot of Eliminators from thebebop on ebay. If u google u kan pick an individual cue (on ebay) with the wt u prefer (18oz or pick 19 or 20 or 21) -- about $50 eech inklooding free postage i think. Or if u get 4 cues u uzually get one of eech wt. Or u kan get 6 cues, or even 12 cues.
I ordered 12 -- postage to here iz US$128 gulp, $11 per cue, plus $22 per, makes $33 per.
I will be sanding them down to different sizes, 12mm 11mm 10.5mm 10mm 9.5mm 9mm.
And i will be able to mix shafts with different wt butts. The wrong shafts uzually fit pretty good (but might be one thou out), and wrong shafts sometimes missalign (praps 1mm, pretty good). But the korrekt shaft on the korrekt butt iz (will be) perfikt (size-wize) and vizually (grain-wize).
I think they are made by cuetec, praps in theusofa (dunno). I koodnt find any other site selling Eliminators. And i koodnt find any similar cue or similar joint (i mean exaktly similar mapletomaple, not just size-wize) with a different badge.
3yr or 4yr ago i bort 4 Eliminators, but i think it woz from a different shop in a different state in the usofa. I experimented with theze 4 -- kut them down gradually in length and in dia, and modyfyd the butts too -- and now they are frankensteins monsters and too short etc. But along the way they hit better than any other cue. I remember setting skrewing records that i will never equal with my regular snooker cues, and hopefully the new Eliminators will be the equal.
One of theze skrewing tests iz where i hit the objektball halfball with softskrew, and see what sort of angle i kan get. The Eliminators (or at least one of them) gave an unbeleevable angle. I think this woz with one of my Triumph tips -- i dont know what tips they kum with, praps Triangle, or praps LePro (dunno). I might leev the original tips on, but uzually (without proper lathes etc) i expekt they wont survive the surgery.
Anyhow, i will report back in a month or so.
Nowadays u see pix of plastiktoplastik joints and they (the chineze?) call them sneaky petes.
And, i see that the chineze are fond of calling 3/4jointed cues "2pce" cues -- whereaz "2pce" haz allways been rezerved for midjointed cues. Bloody chineze.
Anyhow, i allways reckoned that Dufferins made the best maple cues -- for many years my main cue woz a 1pce with simple machine splice butt (4 points) -- u know, the classic yellowish shaft with the classic brown hardwood butt (bewdyfull). Gone now (but praps u kan get very junky copys with skrew tips). Eliminators are the closest thing (and i expekt that theze 2pce cues will play like a 1pce Dufferin).
Did i ever mention that i won a long distance skrewing kontest with my 18oz 10.5mm 1pce 4point Dufferin. The other players with their snooker cues koodnt beleev it. They koodnt even get halfway to my superskrew. That Dufferin cost me $32 back in 1985. Pity i frankensteined it -- shortened it, and added wt in the butt (pity).
The sneakys I have look like wood to wood joints, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eliminator-S...ht_1278wt_1164 As you said, you cant see the joint, only the screw threads. Actually, my predator joint sucks. Its one of those quick release pins that come loose. (I will never buy a non threaded joint again.) Is that the eliminator the cue you mean? I like dufferins too, still have a few left. Looks like you can still buy more from ozone here or at their site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dufferin-One...ht_1411wt_1402
Yes that iz the Eliminator. Look at that there petite stainless pin, glued direktly into wood. And it threads into a petite brass female sort of pipe in the shaft, very lite.
That there Dufferin 1pce pool cue iz similar to the oldendays Dufferin snooker/billiards cues, but not exaktly. The pool verzion iz 12.5mm with i think a big long plastik ferrule. The oldendays Dufferin snooker cues were about 10mm with a short black fibre ferrule. Nowadays the only Dufferin snooker style cues (ie about 10mm) that i kan find are ash (not maple), with big brass midjoints (ie just like other klunky makes).
Big klunky heavy massive brass etc joints are ok if they are a 3/4joint. Koz 3/4joints are at the sweet spot, where they dont affekt hit etc much at all. But a midjoint needstabe very lite, like i sayd, koz at midcue the extra wt affekts hit.
I dont know much about quick release joints -- but i thort that they all had at least a bit of thread.
I know they are heavy, praps heavyer than ordinary joints (not good for a midjoint, ok for a 3/4joint).
And praps u karnt do them up very very tite. I think we need to do joints up very very tite (u need to oil them, else u karnt) (this inkloods all joint, mid and 3/4).
Another thing. Re low squirt shafts. U kan in effekt lessen the squerv of a cue if u add wt to the midjoint (I havnt aktually dunn this, nor the tests, but i am sure i am korrekt, i hav dunn similar tests).
Obviously adding wt at the midjoint duznt much affekt squirt, ie the initial angle the qball pushes out/offline (when uzing english), koz this squirt angle mostly depends on the wt etc of the first 8" of shaft. But the extra wt will affekt squerv.
Now, i aint saying that we kood improov a cue by adding wt at midjoint. However, any change kan/might/must improov something (but at the expense of other things).
But players need to understand that a cue with less power (ie with a worse hit) will hav "less" squerv.
Seeing az squerv kan be pozitiv or negativ (ie left of aimline or right of aimline) the adjektiv "less" iz sort of meaningless, but u know what i mean.
So, muecci and predator kan make a superlow-squirt shaft just by adding lots of wt to the midjoint. And such a cue would of course play badly (for most players). What players shood look for iz low-squirt (if thats what u want) kombined with hi-power (which we all want). I think most players dont realize this.
In other words, if u took wt out of a midjoint (if u kood), u would make the squerv worse. This would seem to be counterproduktiv, but it aint. Power iz paramount, squerv iz sekondary.
So, we shood all be uzing 1pce cues. But, if u want a 2pce cue, Eliminator wins (u wont get closer to a 1pce cue).
Yes, I remember what you were saying about squerve and the mid joint weight. Never tried anything like that, but I do like low squirt shafts so I use a Z-2. Not sure about the power, never had a cue with what seemed like low power(except at bars of course).
POWER and HIT are not straightforward concepts.
U kood say that a cue with good power will send the ball upndown the table further. But i hav some old thin whippy cues that do this very well, yet u karnt play powerskrews with them. So, i am thinking that the best test of good power iz the ability (kompared to other cues) to giv powerskrew.
There are two ways to measure/test powerskrew. Both probly giv the same rezults (for ranking cues).
U kan place the qball klose to the objektball.
U kan place the qball a long way from the objektball.
Not forgetting that the qtip iz a major faktor here az uzual.
I reckon that, if simply hitting a ball upndown the table, then a cue karnt be too stiff.
But for powerskrew a very stiff cue will rank badly. And a very heavy stiff cue worse still (for most players).
Still thinking.
I have a thin, whippy cue in my Z-2. Its only 11.75. Draws well because it allows me to hit lower on the ball, I think lol. Weight matters too for draw, where a lighter cue can draw better because its moving slightly faster. And also the wrist. I can get more draw with a wrist flick, adds more power.
Yes 11.75mm iz thick by billiards/snooker cue standards -- but it mainly depends on how much wood u hav back 8" and 18" -- a parallel taper 11.75mm kan be just az whippy (or az stiff) az a 10mm with a conical taper. For example thems 13mm Eliminators hav about the same mm at the midjoint az one of my 8.9mm billiards/snooker cues.
And yes, lighter kan giv better skrew -- and shorter kan giv better skrew (az long az the cue aint too short for the player's physique).

Espresso Roast Pods
This espresso is part of our history—the same beloved blend we've been serving in our stores since we handcrafted the very first Starbucks latte. Much has changed since then, but we still feel that nothing beats this rich blend of high-grown beans. It reaches its flavorful zenith through a longer roast to achieve a dark, caramelly sweetness. Great for the office, each of the 12 pods is filled with fresh-roasted, ground and tamped coffee for a mess-free, delicious shot of espresso, every time.
Full-Bodied & Bold
With the help of Starbucks® coffee pods, it's easy to create your favorite espresso beverage at home.
Each pod is filled with ground and tamped Starbucks® Espresso Roast, so there's no measuring, no grinding, no mess. Just a consistently delicious shot of espresso, every time.
Starbucks® espresso pods measure 54 mm across from the edge of the filter paper to the other. It is 43 mm across the section containing the coffee and 9 mm thick. Each pod contains 7 grams of coffee, enough for one shot of espresso. Starbucks® Espresso Roast pods can be used with most home espresso machines; they will fit in all espresso machines accepting E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods.
Espresso pods are not compatible with single-serve pod coffee makers or the Verismo® System.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

Funny thing is, the Jets went .500 and the Pats were a few snaps away from a 4th Lombardi in about a decade. And the really funny thing is, Mark Sanchez is still the starting quarterback. That's what's really funny. Enjoy "ground and pound" with Shonne Greene, he of the nearly as many fumbles (7) as career touchdowns (10). What a joke of a team....But keep boosting up Sanchez off 2 good playoff games, don't worry about the other 40+ that show he is at best a run of the mill quarterback. With the 5th overall pick, the New York Jets select.....Mistake prone game manager. And the crowd goes wild! How many more seasons until he completes 60% of his passes?

Eyes on the prize
The median change in the three-year total shareholder return for the states largest public companies was an increase of 49.7%. Total compensation of their CEOs who typically make most of their money in long-term stock awards was up 27.9% in the latest fiscal year, according to Business North Carolinas annual ranking of executive compensation. Thats a far cry from the days when a boss pay seemed to have little relevance to his business financial performance.
One reason for the change might be the federal governments efforts to make executive pay more transparent and give shareholders some voice in compensation plans. In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission required companies to tally and report total pay, including stock and option grants that often had gone under the radar. A provision of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 requires submitting pay packages to a nonbinding vote of shareholders that considers stock performance, among other factors, in approving or rejecting them.
This increases the pressure on companies to do an effective job of communicating the longer-term relationship between executive pay and shareholder return, says Patricia Hale Botoff, senior manager of compensation and benefits consulting in the Raleigh office of Grant Thornton LLP, which compiled this years ranking.
Had he not retired last September the list includes only CEOs on the job at the end of their companies fiscal year Greensboro-based Lorillard Inc.s Martin Orlowsky would have led the list for the second time in three years. He got a lot more than a gold watch, an estimated $30.7 million, double what he made the previous year. Another cigarette CEO Susan Ivey of Winston-Salem-based Reynolds American Inc., who announced her retirement last fall and stepped down Feb. 28 kept the top spot she held on last years list.

Marana, AZ (Sports Network) - Defending champion Hunter Mahan earned a 4 & 3
win over Richard Sterne on Friday to move on to the third round at the World
Golf Championship - Accenture Match Play Championship.
Mahan, the sixth seed in the Gary Player Bracket, will face 2011 runner-up
Martin Kaymer in round three.
While they moved on, the two remaining No. 1 seeds were both ousted on Friday.
Scott Piercy rolled to a 7 & 6 win over Luke Donald, while Robert Garrigus
toppled Louis Oosthuizen, 3 & 2, at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain.
Mahan and Sterne were even at the turn, but Mahan won four in a row to take
control. The pair both parred the next two holes to seal Mahan's win.
"I enjoy playing this golf course," Mahan said in a televised interview. I
just feel comfortable on each shot. I've got a good rhythm here,"
Kaymer won three holes in a 5-hole span to go 3-up in his match with Rafael
Cabrera Bello, who got one back at 13 before the two halved four straight to
give Kaymer the 2 & 1 win.
In the top portion of that bracket, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano knocked out
Charles Howell III, who beat Tiger Woods in the first round. The Spaniard won
back-to-back holes from the first and again from the seventh. Fernandez-
Castano later birdied Nos. 11 and 13 to close out the 6 & 5 win.
Fernandez-Castano will face U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson, who birdied the 18th
to beat Peter Hanson, 1-up. Simpson never led until winning the last hole.
Piercy was 6-under par through nine holes with four birdies and an eagle, and
led Donald, 6-up. He later birdied the 12th to seal the big win.
Piercy will face Steve Stricker, who needed 21 holes to oust fellow American
Nick Watney. Stricker, the 2001 champion, twice lost a 2-up lead as Watney
birdied the 17th to even the match. Stricker then missed a 3-footer for birdie
and the win at 18, but Watney made a mess of the 21st and conceded the match.
The bottom part of that bracket has 15th-seeded Tim Clark facing Ian Poulter.
Clark bested Thorbjorn Olesen, 3 & 2, while Poulter beat Bo Van Pelt, 3 & 1.
Clark was 3-up after 10, but Olesen birdied the 12th. Clark birdied the 14th
to regain a 3-up lead and the match was over after a pair of pars.
Poulter, the third seed, won five of six holes from the sixth to take control
of the match. Van Pelt tried to fight back with birdies at 12 and 13, but
Poulter -- the 2010 champion -- was conceded birdie and the match at 17.
"It's feeling pretty good, I must say," Poulter said on TV. It was a little
risky taking six weeks off before coming into this week, but it's worked out
very well. I've done a bunch of great work at home, and I couldn't feel
fresher or fitter than I do now."
Garrigus, the ninth seed in the Ben Hogan Bracket, took the ninth with a
birdie and the 10th with a par. He birdied No. 13 to push his lead to 3-up,
then he and Oosthuizen halved the next three and the match was over.
Garrigus will face Fredrik Jacobson, a 4 & 3 winner over Marcus Fraser.
Jacobson took the first two holes, then birdied the eighth to move 3-up.
Jacobson birdied No. 15 to close out the match.
The bottom half of that bracket has 10th-seeded Nicolas Colsaerts taking on
Matt Kuchar. They faced each other in a four-ball match at the 2012 Ryder Cup.
Colsaerts ran off three straight wins from the fifth to go 3-up on Justin
Rose, who managed to get back within 1-down after an eagle on the 12th.
Colsaerts won three of the next five holes to close out the 4 & 2 win.
Kuchar, the sixth seed, had a tough battle with Sergio Garcia. They halved
nine of the first 13 holes while trading wins on the other four. Kuchar
converted a birdie try at 14 to go 1-up. The pair birdied the 15th and parred
No. 16, but Kuchar birdied the 17th from inside three feet to seal the win.
Shane Lowry, who beat Rory McIlroy in round one, kept rolling by cruising to
a 6 & 5 win over Carl Pettersson. Lowry won three of four holes from the
sixth, and back-to-back wins at 12 and 13 sealed the win.
"I struggled to get to sleep last night," said Lowry in a TV interview. I know
Carl's a great player and great putter, and I knew it was going to be quite
difficult. I played solid all day. I made a few birdies and didn't do anything
wrong, which is key in match play."
Lowry will take on another Northern Irishman in Graeme McDowell after the
fifth seed needed 20 holes to beat Alexander Noren. McDowell led 1-up three
times, while Noren was 1-up twice in their see-saw match.
Noren hit into a bush with his second on the 20th hole, but got a drop from a
TV tower. He struggled to a bogey and conceded McDowell's birdie try and the
The final match will put Bubba Watson against Jason Day. Jim Furyk birdied the
18th from just over four feet out, while Watson missed from inches closer to
force extra holes. Watson finally won on the 22nd hole.
Day was 1-down to Russell Henley after 11 holes, but won three in a row from
the 12th. Henley fought back to force extra holes with a birdie at 18. Day
then birdied the 19th for the win.
NOTES: The tournament remains behind schedule after snow stopped play on
Wednesday ... The third round and quarterfinals are slated for Saturday, and
if they are completed that day, the championship will be back on schedule ...
Mahan is the first defending champion to make it past the second round since
2007 winner Geoff Ogilvy reached the 2008 semifinals ... The last time all
four top seeds failed to make the third round was 2010 ... Clark was the
lowest ranked of the seven South Africans in the championship, but is the only
remaining after two rounds.

Advice for new college students from not-so-new college students
(Page 3 of 3)
Jess Rosen
Washington University in St. Louis
Lynbrook High School
You have time, but not that much time.
My biggest adjustment to college life was learning how to manage my time. I'll be a senior, and I'm still learning how. Class is inevitable, homework and exams are expected, and then there are the extracurricular activities. If you're an athlete, practices and games pile on top of that. The to-do list lengthens, and sometimes it feels like your head is going to fall off from spinning so fast. It helps to have a schedule, to plan it all out and face your responsibilities.
You'll eventually learn to hate the blank spaces on your calendar. You'll want to fill them up with things you want to do. College is a fresh, independent experience. Make sure you leave time to discover yourself.
Megan Gaskin
Molloy College
Holy Trinity High School
In every class you take, get at least one classmate's phone number. It's a good way to make a new friend, and useful if you ever miss a class or aren't sure of a due date.
I've met so many people at Molloy that I now have over 400 contacts in my phone. The first thing I did as a freshman was join clubs that interested me — Student Media, Performing Arts, Ultimate Frisbee. They gave me a chance to try something new. Join at least one club in your freshman year.
As a commuter, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to meet people, but I formed new friendships in the clubs. At first I was very shy and quiet, but I realized that in order for me to meet people, I'd need to get out of my comfort zone. I'll be a senior in the fall, and can say that I am now extremely outgoing and friendly.
College is all about finding yourself, and your next four years will be memorable. They go by quickly, so make them count.

Okay guys, I need some coaching here. My group as gone to CO for years and we're finally burnt out on the crowds, skittish animals, and lack of quality. For a guy who doesn't use a guide or access private ground it's really tough. We bought our first points this summer.
I'm looking for a high action hunt. We don't need monsters, just decent bulls with good activity. We don't want a guide so units with wilderness areas aren't real high for us. I've been looking into units 19 and 23. It looks like the late season for 19 has pretty good draw results (2 pts) with good quality.
I've been thinking we might be able to do a reduced price cow tag the year prior to our bull tags to kind of scout the unit. Is that possible?
We don't necessarily have a preference for method (bow, rifle, muzzleloader). I am wondering how the muzzleloader seasons work. I can't seam to find dates for Type 0 licenses. In CO it coincides with the archery season.
Any guidance at all would be greatly appreciated.

Avera McKennan takes our patients' privacy very seriously. The South Dakota State Medical Association and South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations have created rules governing the release of patient information to the public and media. You can view this entire document by clicking the link below or read a brief overview of key information on this page.
View the full South Dakota Code of Cooperation guide.
Call 605-322-8000 (24/7 Service)
If you are a media representative calling for a patient condition update, please identify yourself as a member of the media when you contact us.
HIPAA standards have established five one-word conditions reports which are meant to describe a patient or resident's current condition.
Clinicians find the "critical, but stable" term useful when discussing cases among themselves because it helps them differentiate patients or residents who are expected to recover from those whose prognosis is worse. But a critical condition means that at least some vital signs are unstable, so this is inherently contradictory. The term "stable" should not be used as a condition. Furthermore, this term should not be used in combination with other conditions, which by definition, often indicate a patient or resident is unstable.
Note: A prognosis will not be given to the media or the public, except by the patient or resident's physician with their consent.
Death: The death of a patient or resident may be reported to the authorities by the health care facility, as required by law. Any release of information to the public by the facility about a death will only be made following the notification of next-of-kin and upon receipt of a request about the specific patient or resident. Information about the cause of death must come from the patient's or resident's physician, and a legal representative of the deceased must approve its release.

A roundup of the good, the bad and the bizarre from the world's best travel media.
A new hotel reservation site has made its debut on the Web. It's called Tingo, and its main calling card comes into play after you make your hotel reservation.
The folks at Tingo say they will keep an eye on your pre-paid reservation. If your room price drops after you've reserved it, Tingo will arrange a refund of the difference, automatically.
You can read more about Tingo in this msnbc.com story here.
In my next life, I might be an engineer, because I love bridges. Admiring them. Photographing them. Sailing under them. Or best of all, walking over them.
I still have fantasies about riding the elevator that runs up the inside of each of the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, with my trusty little Canon G12 camera in hand, to take pics from the very top.
That probably explains why I got such a kick out of Cristina Puscas' list of 13 famous bridges that you can walk or climb. It's on the BootsnAll Web site, which specializes in independent travel.
With this list as a guide, bridge-hopping can take you around the world.
INDIA, NORTH and SOUTH
The New York Times devotes its Sunday travel section this week to Asia, starting with a sizable story on India that features three possible itineraries based on time — one, two or three weeks.
The piece itself is informative enough, but some of the comments below it are just as insightful, especially those that suggest a possible bias on the part of travel writers toward northern India.
Finally, the folks at Air France are making a point of showing off one of their crews on a recent Flight 438, a Boeing 777 from Paris (CDG) to Mexico City (MEX).
Three pilots, 13 flight attendants. All women.
The airline put up its own video to mark the occasion.
I'm not sure how the macho Mexican male passengers on the flight reacted when they found out about the all-female flight crew, but I'll bet the mujeres on board were diggin' it.

(KSDK Sports) -- The Tennessee State Tigers shoot for the road upset of the #12 Missouri Tigers.
