495 Pontiac Cylinder Head Upgrade & Engine Build - New Heads For An Old Indian - Engine BuildupWritten by Marlan Davis on July 1, 2010 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Roland Canted-Valve Pontiac Heads Plus A Scat Stroker Kit Give The Venerable Pontiac V-8 A New Lease On Life.
There are still a bunch of hard-core real Pontiac enthusiasts out there keeping the old Indian alive, and they remember the glory days when a well-built Pontiac could run up front with anything. The only things lacking to do the same today were modern 21st century cylinder heads.
That's where the guys at Roland Racing came in: They took a clean sheet of paper and designed a canted-valve cylinder head for the traditional Pontiac V-8 that still uses many off-the-shelf parts from other engine makes to keep costs under control. The end result is a state-of-the-art head with intake flow numbers akin to such mainstream big-block Chevy heads as Brodix's BB-1 series.
With modern, high-flowing Pontiac heads finally available, big-inch Pontiac motors are no longer just head-limited torque monsters-they have the potential to make big power numbers, too. Witness this pump gas ultimate street engine built by Andy Mitchell of Hardcore Racing Engines for one of his Australian customers. Based on a 400ci production Pontiac block, it's packed with a Scat rotating assembly for 495 ci and a Comp Cams bumpstick and valvetrain components, then topped off with Roland's big, new cylinder heads to produce at least a 680hp/603-lb-ft package ready to chew up the pavement.
As radical as the new package is, it barely taps the potential of the Roland heads, which were installed out of the box with no porting. More radical porting and machining options plus new aftermarket Pontiac blocks could easily support up to 577 ci and 1,100-plus horsepower.
The engine design may be half a century old, but now Pontiac fans can once more proudly proclaim, "We have a contender."
Roland CV-1 Heads
Roland CV-1 canted-valve heads are a departure from anything previously seen on a real Pontiac V-8, but they are also different from typical Chevy or Ford canted-valve heads. Unlike other canted designs, on CV-1 castings, the valve heads seat horizontally in the chamber. Combined with rolled-over valve angles, this permits the use of larger valves for a given bore size, particularly important with the relatively small-diameter bores found on production-based Pontiac blocks. The valves are tilted toward the center of the bore, so as they open they move farther away from the cylinder wall, unshrouding the valves for improved flow.
The CV-1 intake port design eliminates the pushrod restrictions found on typical Poncho heads, yet on standard Roland castings, offset lifters and/or rocker arms are not required (although there is an optional version with minimized pushrod scallops for max porting that does mandate offset rockers). Unique-length head bolts or studs will be required. Hardcore offers a kit using ARP fasteners (PN CV-1HBK).
The intake side requires complementary CV-1 intake manifolds, but the D-shaped exhaust ports are based on the traditional round Pontiac Ram Air IV pattern, raised approximately 3/8 inch over stock for improved performance (most off-the-shelf Ram Air IV-style headers should still work). There's also a high-end convertible-exhaust option that removes most of the long Pontiac runner for high-end racing that does require custom headers.
SI supplied the stainless valves used on the standard, as-cast Roland heads installed for this build. The 2.3-inch intakes are for a big-block Chevy; the exhaust side uses a 1.71-inch Ford Cleveland-style valve with SI's Black Knight antiheat coating.
As tested on Westech Performance's SuperFlow bench, the heads flow just under 350 cfm at 0.700-inch lift on the intake side. Even by conservative estimates, that's sufficient to support about 720 normally aspirated horsepower. And the flow just keeps on climbing all the way through a full 1.00-inch valve lift.
Head Flow Data
As-cast Roland heads with 2.30-inch intake and 1.71-inch exhaust valves were flowed at 28 inches of water with the heads installed over the listed bore-orifice sizes; a 0.50-inch radiused guide was used on the intake and a 2-inch flow tube on the exhaust. All values are in cfm, except lift, which is in inches.
Block And Rotating Assembly
Mitchell started with a run-of-the-mill 400-inch production two-bolt-main Pontiac block. Why not use a larger 428 or 455? First, scarcity: Used 400s are still plentiful; their larger sisters are not. Second, bearing speed: The 400's smaller 3-inch main journals hold up better at high rpm than the 428/455 engine's huge 3.25-inch mains: The larger the journal diameter, the faster any point on the journal's circumference must travel as it rotates at a given rpm, putting greater stress on the bearings. A larger journal's added surface area also increases friction.
The block was bored 0.065 over to yield a 4.185-inch bore. The weird overbore is for greater ring set availablity; it's the same as a 0.060-over 400 small-block Chevy. With a Scat 4.5-inch-stroke crank and rotating assembly kit (PN 1-41610) that includes rods, pistons, and bearings, displacement comes in at 495.2 ci. Most 400s can go 0.090 over if desired, which with the same crank yields a 501. The main bearings are Clevite 77 standard replacement, as full-race Pontiac main bearings aren't available. However, the 2.20-inch-od big-block Chevy-sized rod journals run full-race Clevite 77 Chevy H-series bearings that support 6.7-inch center-to-center Scat big-block Chevy-style rods. Mitchell runs relatively tight clearances for a Pontiac: 0.0028-inch clearance on both the mains and rods, 0.004-inch crank thrust, and 0.014 to 0.018 rod side clearance.
Preferring a smooth cylinder wall finish, Mitchell honed the block with a torque plate and a 280 Sunnen stone before making a pass with a plateau brush to break off any remaining sharp edges. With a zero-decked block, the Mitchell-modified pistons' -5.5cc dish volume, a Mr. Gasket head gasket (0.038-inch compressed volume x 4.250-inch bore), and 92cc combustion chambers, compression came in at 10.54:1-OK for 91-octane pump gas with a big cam and the heads' quick-burn chambers.
Cam And Valvetrain
Standard Pontiac cams work with the Roland heads, but on a high-end engine, an optimized grind that better matches the heads' improved flow characteristics is preferred. Mitchell installed a solid roller cam with his own specified lobe profiles, custom-ground by Comp Cams. Optimized for high-ratio rocker arms, the lobes with 1.7:1 rockers have more than 0.770-inch lift, but their 270-to-280-degree duration at 0.050 is less than typical for a Pontiac in this engine's intended performance range. To make the cam more idle friendly on a street-driven car, overlap is minimized with a wide 112-degree lobe-separation angle. The wide LSA doesn't seriously impact overall performance because the intake port flows so well. Even with the big cam, piston-to-valve clearance still came in at a more than adequate 0.100-inch intake/0.220-inch exhaust. A custom Hardcore Racing aluminum valley cover was installed to clear the solid roller lifters.
The rockers on CV-1 heads are canted at the same angle as the pushrods, eliminating side loading and reducing parasitic power losses. Except for Roland-supplied guideplates, the top-end valvetrain consists of typical big-block Chevy parts, including Comp's Elite-series valvesprings that develop 240 pounds of seat pressure at a 2.00-inch installed height, with 685 pounds over the nose. For high-end motors, rocker stud girdles or even complete shaft-mount rocker arm assemblies would be unique to the CV-1 but are available through aftermarket sources such as Hardcore Racing.
Cam Specs
All values are in degrees except lift and lash, which are in inches.
Type: mechanical roller
Lobe lift: 0.455/0.455
Valve lift (0 lash, 1.7:1 rockers): 0.773/0.773
Valve lash: 0.016/0.

Tappet duration (0.050 lift): 276/282
Lobe-separation angle: 112
Lobe centerline: 108/116
Intake opens/closes (0.050 tappet lift): 30 BTDC/66 ABDC
Exhaust opens/closes (0.050 tappet lift): 77 BBDC/25 ATDC
Oil System
Mitchell's oil system is decidedly nontrick: A modified Ram Air IV oil pump sucks oil out of a 7-quart (with filter) Canton street/strip trap-door oil pan. There are no internal oil passage mods. There are no top end oil restrictors. "You need oil to the top end to keep the springs alive," Mitchell says.
Fuel, Air, and Spark
Roland CV-1 heads require a dedicated intake manifold, also available through Roland. A single-plane as well as a dual-four-barrel tunnel-ram are offered, both with a choice of either the standard Holley 4150 flange or the larger 4500 Dominator flange. The engine's future owner preferred a 1,000-cfm, 4150-style Holley. None of the intakes has a stock-type built-in water crossover; if one's needed for street use, Kauffman sells a bolt-on crossover casting complete with thermostat housing. An all-MSD ignition system fires NGK PN 5671A-8 plugs gapped at 0.035 inch. For the dyno test, Westech installed a set of Hooker headers with 2-inch primaries and 31/2-inch collectors (PN 4201), along with 18-inch collector extensions.
On The Dyno
You'd expect a typical undersquare Pontiac to be a torquey stump puller, and this engine doesn't disappoint: On Westech Performance's SuperFlow dyno, Hardcore's 495 with the new Roland heads made a peak 603.2 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm, more than 600 lb-ft from 5,000 through 5,400 rpm, and more than 550 lb-ft from 4,100 (the lowest test point) through 6,400 rpm. What you don't expect is for a Pontiac to make big horsepower. But would you believe more than 500 hp from 4,600 rpm on up, more than 600 hp starting at 5,300, and an observed peak of 679.6 hp at 6,500-with the curve still on the upswing? Unfortunately, we couldn't cajole Mitchell into letting Westech run it in on up past tip-over: It seems the hoped-for rocker stud girdle hadn't shown up in time for the test, the bottom end had only two-bolt mains . . . and well, the motor was built for a paying customer all the way Down Under (Australia). But judging from the shape of the curve, with a little more guts and a little more tuning, this engine is easily a 700-plus-horsepower mill.

The big 4.5-inch-stroke arm is a Scat 4340-steel forging. Its rod journals are machined for commonly available big-block Chevy rods. This engine is internally balanced, which will require some Mallory metal, as well as a neutral-balanced flexplate or flywheel (standard Pontiac flexplates/flywheels have external balance weights).Accommodating the big stroker crank requires only minimal block clearance-grinding in one place near the front driver-side oil pan rail (arrow).Harmonics are controlled by a degreed, SFI-certified TCI balancer (PN 872018). Unlike some other aftermarket balancers, it accepts standard Pontiac crank pulleys. Like stock Pontiac balancers, the unit is neutral balanced.Scat 4340-steel H-beam big-block Chevy rods held together by 7/16-20 ARP bolts (65 ft-lb in assembly lube) hook to Icon (formerly KB) forged pistons via big-block Chevy floating pins. The kit's Total Seal 1/16-inch moly top, 1/16-inch cast-iron second, and 3/16-inch low tension oil ring set were gapped at 0.026, 0.024, and 0.018 inch, respectively.To prevent No. 2 and No. 6 lifter boss breakage with big cams (more than 0.600-inch lift and/or 250 degrees duration at 0.050), the large Pontiac lifter valley cavities adjacent to those bosses were reinforced with SD Performance's bolt-together Mega Braces. The JB Weld is for filling any remaining gaps once the two halves are bolted together.The Scat kit's KB 1.275-inch compression height shelf stroker pistons (PN IC942-.060, not .065) fit normal Pontiac heads. To clear CV-1 canted-valve heads, the intake valve pocket was enlarged in the area outlined by the triangle (arrow). Compare with the out-of-the-box one in the previous photo. Piston-to-wall clearance is 0.006 inch.Comp's standard nonoffset Pontiac solid roller lifters (PN 859-16) work fine. Different-length intake and exhaust pushrods are required; exact lengths vary per build, but this engine uses Comp Hi-Tech chrome-moly, 0.080-inch-wall, 3/8-inch-od pushrods: 9.650-inch long on the intake (PN 7961-8), 10.100-inch for the exhaust (PN 8707-8).Comp supplied the big-block Chevy valvetrain: Ultra Gold 1.7:1 roller rockers (PN 19021-16), 7/16 x 2-inch racing rocker studs (PN 450716), 1.625-inch-od 561-lb/in Elite dual springs with damper (PN 26099-16) sitting on PN 4774-16 locators, 10-degree titanium retainers (PN 733-16), and 10-degree steel keys for 11/32-inch-od valve stems (PN 611-16).Comp Cams' high-end timing set (PN 7112) has induction-hardened steel-billet gears; a prestretched, heat-treated, large-pin, double-roller chain; a nine-keyway crank sprocket for 2-degree incremental adjustability (8-degree max advance/retard); and a Torrington roller thrust bearing for reduced friction.
Hardcore's billet driveshaft (PN HC-400) drives a Melling Ram Air IV oil pump (PN M54DS) shimmed (arrow) to produce 70 psi at rpm. "The 455-SD's 80-psi pump is excessive," Mitchell maintains. "You want at least 20 psi at hot idle and 10 more psi per 1,000 rpm up to a max of 60 psi at 6,000." Pontiac high-volume pumps aren't available.Mitchell modified Canton's oil pan (PN 15-452) for a windage tray after this photo was shot. A conventional main-cap-mounted tray won't clear the stroker crank. The pan was filled with Lucas oil: standard 30-weight for break-in; 10W-30 synthetic for the power runs. "Oil pressure determines oil weight. I'll vary the weight as needed to get 60 psi at 6,000."A 1,000-cfm Holley 4150 HP carb with downleg boosters and as-shipped jetting (PN 0-80513-1) atop a Roland single-plane CV-1 intake manifold meters the 91-octane fuel. On Westech's SuperFlow dyno, the best numbers were obtained with a Wilson 1-inch open spacer. Note the intake's cast-in bosses for use with EFI or nitrous nozzles.Controlled by an MSD Digital-7 Plus box (PN 7520) on Westech's dyno, the Mitchell-curved MSD billet distributor (PN 8563) uses a roller cam-compatible BOP Engineering composite distributor gear (PN PDG38 for 0.500-inch-shaft MSD distributors). With the highly efficient Roland combustion chambers, the engine ran best with only 32 degrees of timing.

|The end of an era: Holyoke bowling
|Written by Darci Tomky
Since the sport first rolled into town in July 1959, bowling has been a historic and memorable pastime for many in Holyoke.
"It was a booming business," said Don Hewitt, the first manager of Holyoke Bowling Lanes at 219 S. Campbell Ave. With dozens of teams, the six lanes at the alley were open every day of the week, and people of every age just couldn't get enough of the competitive sport.
Now, with business slowing down, Marshall Thompson, the owner of what is now called Scormor Lanes, has decided to close the doors, amazed at how much bowling has changed over the last two decades.
When he bought the business in the mid-1980s, Marshall had six nights of leagues and bowlers not only from Holyoke, but from as far as a 50-mile radius.
"It was basically a family thing for 28 years," said Marshall, explaining he owned the alley for a couple years before turning over the reins to his dad, Bob Thompson.
Bob owned Scormor Lanes for 26 years, with Marshall taking over the last couple years.
"For 26 years I really enjoyed it," said Bob.

Five generations of the Thompson family have bowled at the Holyoke lanes. Bowling for 65 years, Bob said he started, along with his dad Robert Thompson, when the alley opened in Holyoke in 1959. Marshall has bowled for 40 years, and his kids and now grandkids have also learned to bowl.
"All our family parties were there," they said, and Marshall was even married at the bowling alley. They give a lot of credit to their wives, Shirley and Tina.
Bob said the competition is one of the things he loves most about bowling, and he and Marshall certainly have scores to be proud of from their many years of bowling.
"And it's something anybody can do," said Marshall. Kids in school invest a lot of time in other sports, he said. "But bowling—that's something they can do for the rest of their lives."
Over the years they have taken teams to state almost every year and even to the national competition a few times.
They said the original machines—AMF automatic pin setting machines installed in 1959 from Celebrity Lanes in Denver—were still used to this day. Bob said he did a major overhaul on the machines every summer, but they still worked great after so many years.
A café was always a constant part of the bowling alley, and there was a game room for the kids.
Many of the older people in town are really sad to see the bowling alley go, said the Thompsons, but they have seen a decline in bowlers over the years. The younger generations just don't want to commit to joining bowling leagues.
It's quite a different picture from what it was 50 years ago.
In the late 1950s, bowling alleys were popping up all over the country. George Reynolds and Ed Burke made a wise investment to put in a business in Holyoke.
Hewitt, who was the manager for two years after the lanes opened in 1959, said he could have had the lanes open 24/7. He made back Reynolds and Burke's investment in only three months.
Leaving the alley around 1 a.m. every night and returning again at 8 a.m. to clean the lanes, Hewitt said people were already knocking on the door, ready to get in some time on the lanes.
Monday through Thursday, two leagues were held each night with six teams in each league. With nearly 50 teams, Hewitt said just about every church and every business in the area rounded up a team, complete with matching bowling shirts he sold at the alley.
Fridays and Sunday evenings were mixed doubles, and Saturday morning was reserved for the kids.
At three games for a dollar, people couldn't beat that price for fun entertainment, and they "spared" no expense for a good time.
A game room at the bowling alley included ping pong, pinball machines and a jukebox, and some tasty treats could be enjoyed at a snack bar run by Jim Harvey, owner of the Sweet Shop in Holyoke. Shirley Groshans assisted at the front desk.
Hewitt mentioned that when the bowling alley first opened, they had to get city laws changed so they could serve soft drinks. Rules concerning drinks of any sort had been passed earlier due to a previous duck pin bowling alley.
Holyoke Bowling Lanes also held big tournaments for area bowlers, and both young and old were addicted to the thrill of a strike.
Hewitt, a member of the 700 Bowling Club of America, remembers bowling a score of 277 during league bowling one night and scoring a 756 series during open bowling.
Throughout the 1960s and '70s, the bowling alley in Holyoke continued to thrive with various owners and managers. It seemed that the sport of bowling was right up Holyoke's alley.
After its grand opening in November 1947, Dirks Roller Rink, owned by Lewis and Dora Dirks, boasted 6,000 square feet of maple wood skating surface and a fun time for both young and old alike. After five and a half years as a skating rink, the building on South Campbell Avenue in Holyoke housed furniture stores and eventually a bowling alley from 1959-2012.
Building gets start as roller rink in 1947
For over five years, the small town of Holyoke boasted of having the best roller rink between Denver and Omaha, not a claim to be taken lightly.
Dirks Roller Rink proudly opened with a big crowd Nov. 21, 1947. Offering 240 pairs of rink skates, 30 pairs of shoe skates, organ melodies on 78 rpm records and 6,000 square feet of skating surface, this was the hippest place in town.
Dorothy (Dirks) Skinner said her parents, Lewis and Dora Dirks, were always saying there wasn't anything for kids to do in Holyoke. So, when they moved back to the area from Iowa in 1947, they quickly made plans for the construction of a roller rink.
With cement blocks from Chappell Hollostone Co. in Chappell, Neb., a large building was constructed in the 200 block of South Campbell Avenue.
Seven miles of maple flooring, sanded five times, was laid for the roller skating rink, with 35,000 nails spaced 12 inches apart. Benches were installed around the rink and a lunch room to the side.
Clarence From was the floor manager, and Anna Denbo served cold drinks, coffee, ice cream and sandwiches in the cafeteria.
Skinner, who was in sixth grade when her parents opened the rink, said people of every age came to skate, not just the children. She and her friends came up with a lot of dance routines throughout the years, and her favorite game was crack the whip. And, like many others her age, she got to know her future husband, Doyle, a bit better after hours spent at the skating rink.
After five and a half years as a roller rink, the building was converted to a furniture store until becoming the bowling alley in 1959.
Phillips County has recently purchased the property, which is immediately to the east of the courthouse, to use for storage for the county.

Iraq's deputy prime minister has called on Qatar to hand over a fugitive vice president to face terror charges in Baghdad.
Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahristani said Qatar's welcoming of Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi was "unacceptable."
Hashimi is the top Sunni official in Iraq's Shiite-led government.
His trip to Sunni-led Qatar could deepen tensions between Iraq and the Sunni monarchies in the Persian Gulf.
Hashimi fled to Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdistan region after the Iraqi government in December accused him of running death squads against Shi'a.
The government asked Kurdish regional authorities to hand him over but they declined.
Hashimi arrived in Qatar on April 1 and was greeted by a minister of state, Sheikh Hamad bin Nasser bin Jassim al-Thania, a member of Qatar's ruling royal family.

To the editor:
I am dismayed about the decision that N.C. State University has made to sell Hofmann Forest, located in Onslow and Jones counties and encompassing 80,000 acres of unique forest and wetland habitat.
This land was left in legacy to N.C. State in the 1930s.
This rare forestland is home to wildlife whose available habitat is gradually disappearing. Reducing forested land speeds up climate change. And this dense forest, which includes wetlands, provides a vast filtering system at the headwaters of three of our rivers: Trent, New and White Oak rivers. Clearing and developing of this land will harm this filtering system and will degrade our coastal waters contributing to more shellfish closings, fish kills, closing of swimming areas and threats to public health.
A telling �Prospectus for Potential Investors� document that was revealed suggests a number of commercial and housing possibilities as well as conversion of virgin forest to agricultural land and possible mining uses.
NCSU was entrusted with the stewardship of Hofmann Forest. These public lands belong to all of us. Once it is sold and altered and made unrecognizable as it once was, we can never reclaim it, nor can we reclaim the benefits it offered by providing habitat and helping to keep our waters clean.
It is not too late to protest this sale by alerting N.C. State University (Chancellor Randy Woodson and Dean Mary Watzin) that we are not happy with this possible sale.

This thread might be of use...
I have a high-resolution topographic map of mars. I can't conceptualize it as a sphere and I need to draw some geographic regions on it. As such I was thinking of printing it out and making it into a globe then draw the regions on the globe, take it apart and scan it back in so I would have the regions I need flattened out appropriate to the actual globe.
As such, I need to know if there are any easy ways of making a gore map so I can do the globe. I found a gimp addon but I've never used gimp or would know how to use the addon.
Any help would be much appreciated, or if someone has a suggestion on how I could make this all easier that would be great too. See links below for more details:

Congressman Rob Bishop of Utah wants the National Park Service to look at the proposal. He says he's concerned about the road's proximity to Manassas National Battlefield Park.

Trucking news: Cass Freight Index is up in September
October 04, 2010
Even though the economy remains stuck in neutral, it appears that the trucking market may be gaining some sustained momentum, based on the September edition of the Cass Information Systems Freight Index.
For the second straight month, the index, which measures the number of shipments and expenditures that are processed through Cass's account payable systems, showed growth, and has been up in six of the last seven months.
September shipments at 1.116 were 1.9 percent higher than August's 1.095 and have been over the 1.0 mark for five straight months, with May marking the first time shipments topped 1.0 since November 2008.
September shipment expenditures at 2.031 were 2.9 percent higher than September's 1.971 and 9.8 percent higher than July's 1.832 and 23.4 percent higher than September 2009's 1.556.
Many trucking industry executives and analysts consider the Cass Freight Index as an accurate barometer of freight volumes and market conditions, with Credit Suisse analyst Chris Ceraso stating in research notes that the Cass Freight Index sometimes leads the American Trucking Associations (ATA) tonnage index at turning points, which lends to the value of the Cass Freight Index.
The ATA recently reported that its seasonally-adjusted August tonnage index was down from July and up year-over-year.
As LM has reported, in the first half of 2010, many shippers, carriers and analysts said they were optimistic about the trucking market, especially when comparing it to 2009. But since then there have been various economic reports, including today's federal government report that second quarter GDP growth fell to 1.7 percent from the first quarter, and others which indicate the recovery is slowing down.
Some other signs of a slowing economy are also evident, with unemployment still high, retail sales down, and consumer confidence falling. These factors all have the potential to bring tonnage growth down in the coming months.
And at last week's Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Annual Conference in San Diego many shippers and carriers indicated that there is an underlying sense of caution in play when assessing trucking volumes and where they may be heading in the coming months.
One recurring theme heard from CSCMP attendees was that whatever recovery is occurring may now be led by manufacturing, rather than consumer spending, which typically accounts for 70 percent of all economic activity.

Photos: Royals Awards show
Hardware was handed out on Saturday afternoon at the Royals Awards show, which honored Billy Butler, Bruce Chen, Joakim Soria and all of the organizational award winners. Let's take a look!
Chen, the Joe Burke Special Achievement winner, and Soria, the Bruce Rice Pitcher of the Year, congratulated one another after the event. Both players were very proud and appreciative of the awards. Bruce, who worked his way back from "Tommy John" surgery in 2007, wanted to make sure that his award arrived to his Arizona home without a scratch – so he bought a seat on the plane for it!
Billy Butler received his second Les Milgram Player of the Year honor on the same day that would see him ink a long-term contract with the Royals.
Mike Moustakas was all smiles as he received the George Brett Hitter of the Year honor from the Hall of Fame third baseman.
John Lamb earned the Paul Splittorff Pitcher of the Year award. John, who turns 21 in July, will be the youngest player in Kansas City's Major League camp at spring training.
Eric Hosmer won the Carolina League batting title and slugged key playoff home runs in the Texas League playoffs in 2010. On Saturday, he was recognized for the other part of his game with the Frank White Defensive Player of the Year award.
Derrick Robinson took his game to another level in 2010, setting a career high in batting average. Robinson, who led the Texas League with 50 stolen bases, earned the Willie Wilson Baserunner of the Year award for the second time. Wilson pointed out that Robinson is outstanding at both baserunning and base stealing.
Former Missouri State pitcher Buddy Baumann received the Mike Sweeney Award from the five-time All-Star. The award goes to the minor league player who best represents the organization off of the field. Baumann participated in a variety of community events while with the Wilmington Blue Rocks in 2010.

Did you remember to soak the header wrap in water before you installed it? Also, bailing/safety wire works well for securing the wrap.Here's a video a good video of a some guys doing the job right.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQRcvjmGoaA
Does wrapping the exhaust actually help anything?Also can you attach a picture showing your wrapped exhaust?I wanna see how it looks on a bullet before I go and do it
Here is 'Asbo' Bullet No.8. It has exhaust wrap on the pipe and was put there for cosmetic reasons, nothing more B.W.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eDxif1oQFw

|Show by title
|Displaying page
ACER Cunningham Library: Contains details of more than 12,000 books, articles, conference papers and reports on various aspects of international education from publishers in Australia and abroad. Maintained by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), the database houses material published from 1990 onwards. Includes links to full text content.
This is an index of approximately 3000 ships that visited New Zealand. Arranged by port, then by year of visit.
State Records Authority of New South Wales: This resource provides name indexes to assisted immigrants arriving in the ports of Port Phillip, Sydney and Newcastle, and Moreton Bay (Brisbane). The index covers all the ports although they can be searched as separate indexes for: Port Phillip (1839 - 1851) Sydney and Newcastle (1844 - 1859) Moreton Bay (1848 - 1859), Sydney (1860-1879) and Sydney (1880 - 1896). The index contains references to Persons on Bounty Ships to New South Wales, Newcastle held on microfilm in the Newspapers and Family History zone of the Main Reading Room (mfm N 229, Microfilm Drawer labelled "New South Wales").
State Records Authority of New South Wales: Combines seven of the State Records Authority's records into a single database. Indexes are: Certificates of Freedom 1823-69, Convict Bank Accounts 1837-70, Tickets of Exemption from Government Labor 1827-32, Tickets of Leave Certificates of Emancipation and Pardons 1810-19, Tickets of Leave 1810-75, Ticket of Leave Passports 1835-69, Convict Death Register 1828-79. Also includes 'Sentenced Beyond the Seas', a project to digitise and index Australia's early convict records (currently, as of January 2013, covering the period 1788-1801).
Queensland State Archives: This site provides access to the various immigration indexes at the Queensland State Archives. Lists are primarily for assisted passengers from the United Kingdom and Europe and cover the span of years from 1848 to 1940. Examples of indexes include Assistant Immigration Agent Maryborough 1875-1884 and 1884-1907, Passage Certificates 1887-1906. Indexes provide peoples names in alphabetical order and include Queensland State Archives References.
: Index New Zealand (INNZ) is an index with abstracts from selected New Zealand serial publications journals, including newspapers and nearly 300 journals about New Zealand and the South Pacific. INNZ is updated daily and approximately 2,000 documents are added monthly. Subjects covered include general interest material, social research, current affairs, the arts and humanities. Comprehensive coverage of titles extends from 1987 onwards. Many New Zealand titles have also been retrospectively indexed. Includes Maori content.
Public Record Office Victoria: This index lists the names of assisted passengers who boarded ships to Victoria, Australia, from Britain between 1839 and 1871. The results screen displays some detail on each passenger and a reference to the book and page on which the information can be found in the registers. These registers are available on open access in Microfiche Compartment 21, call number mcN 761 in the Newspapers and Family History zone of the Main Reading Room.
Archives Office of Tasmania: In 1840 a Census Commission was established to conduct a census of the Tasmanian population. The index includes census taken in the following years: 1837, 1838, 1842, 1843, 1848, 1851, and 1857.
State Records Authority of New South Wales: Each entry in the index provides convict's surname, forename, aliases (if any), ship, year of arrival, Certificate of Freedom or Colonial Certificate of Freedom number, date of Certificate, State Records item number, Reel number(s), and remarks.
Archives Office of Tasmania: People who were convicts in Tasmania were not permitted to marry either each other or free people without approval from the Convict Department authorities. The index contains entries for most (but not all) people during the period 1829 to 1857. The actual applications have not survived and registers (CON45, CON52) have been the source for this index. These registers have a two-line entry for each application. The information listed is: applicant's surname and given name; an extra identifier (if two convicts arrived on the same ship and had the same name); the name of the ship the convict arrived on, or 'free' if the person was not a convict; the date of the application; the reference number for the application; the reference number for the marriage record if this has been included.

You could do it in Photoshop CS4 extended...open a sphere.obj and paint on that directly.
I imagine this is a long shot, but is anyone aware of an art program that allows you to work on a spherical canvas instead of a flat canvas. I do a lot of planet-wide map projects and for the past several years Ive forced Google Earth down this road . . . its passable in most areas, and works very well in others, but its not what Google Earth is intended for. (And the final products are far from aesthetically pleasing.)
If the software has the ability to unwrap the image as a traditional flat picture that would be great too. I am open to some sort of 3D applicable as long as I can still draw on the sphere itself.
You could do it in Photoshop CS4 extended...open a sphere.obj and paint on that directly.
Yowch, even the student edition is quite expensive.
Can you unwrap the sphere texture if you wish or is it stuck as an object? If I can unwrap it, so I have a standard flat image that can be easily shared, it's probably worth saving up for.
It's still nice to know I have options, thanks
This sounds like a projections matter and the tech guys know more about that stuff than I do.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

This book has a lovely cover to it and looks rich. I like the magnetic closer, too. The only thing I would have liked is some photo pages inside. All pages are pocket pages.

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've been banging my head against the wall for a few hours now. I'm a bit of a newbie, so please bear with me!
I have Zimbra Open Source Edition 6.0.8 32-bit on CentOS 5.5.
Let me preface by saying that Zimbra works great for me. I think it's because my network is static, and I have my IPs as a trusted MTA network.
My problem is that I have a user who is on a dynamic remote network from my Zimbra server. He's a home user, and his cable modem is DHCP. He can receive emails all day long from my server, but when he goes to send them, his messages are being dropped instantly from the server.
In Zimbra Admin > Global Settings > MTA; I have Enable Auth & TLS Auth Only enabled.
Here's what I'm seeing in the log files when I try and send an email.
Earlier when we were trying, we'd get an undeliverable which shows the reason "554 5.7.1Code:Sep 14 22:08:25 mail postfix/smtpd[4378]: connect from DHCP.comcast.net[71.192.x.x] Sep 14 22:08:26 mail postfix/smtpd[4378]: 0E9EB2379C0: client=DHCP.comcast.net[71.192.x.x] Sep 14 22:08:26 mail postfix/cleanup[4393]: 0E9EB2379C0: message-id=<email@example.com> Sep 14 22:08:26 mail postfix/qmgr[1330]: 0E9EB2379C0: from=

But now all we see are those log file entries.
So, here's an overview of what I'm seeing:
- Everything works fine for me. I am on an "MTA Trusted Network"
- He is on an external network with a DHCP cable modem
- He cannot send email to internal nor external email addresses.
- If I put my known-working credentials in on his Outlook, I'm also getting the same error message above.
- He can send email using the webmail function, so I know the MTA is working.
Can anyone help?

'Green Day: Rock Band' Features Decades Of Dye Jobs And Tattoos
"I thought we could have a lot of fun with 'Rock Band' and highlight different times in our career," bassist Mike Dirnt said. "I thought it was a really cool way to kind of show people, you know, just different things [about the group] in a format the size of a TV set."
It seems that — nearly as much as their music — Green Day's career can be broken down into specific looks too: the baby dreadlocks and eye-popping dye jobs of the Dookie days; the bottle-blond, leather-jacket look of the Warning era; or the black spikes
Just How Much Did Green Day Do For 'Green Day: Rock Band'?
Since the guys in Green Day aren't huge gamers, it makes you wonder just how much involvement they had in the making of "Green Day: Rock Band." According to Chris Foster, the project lead on the game, quite a lot. We spoke to Foster recently about what the band brought to the table.
"The band was involved throughout the project," Foster explained. "At the beginning we would brainstorm ideas for venues with them, talk about the set list and then we proposed our set list and they gave us tweaks on that.
We're extending the deadline for the Idiot Club air guitar contest by a few

Hi all, I have migrated quite a few people to Office 2k7 and win7 from office 2k3 and XP and have never had this issue before. Can someone please help?
Upon initial sync, signatures would fail (I am told this is expected) but it chugs along. It kept getting stuck on "Synchronizing folder: Tasks" 1.31 KB transferred. I let this run all day and it never completed. So i removed and reinstalled the Connector and Outlook, no dice. Then i figured it must be ticked off about one of her tasks, so i took a backup from her webmail account, and removed them all (I also removed the few that did come in to Outlook). I removed the account and then re-added it to Outlook. This time signatures fail again, along with a couple of "Unknown failures" and it finally gets stuck on "Synchronizing folder: trash" 1.31KB transferred.
I don't think that its an issue with her trash folder, mainly because they both were getting stuck on 1.31KB transferred, that can't be a coincidence?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

ATLANTA -- In need of a trim in the middle of the night? Want a buzz cut before dawn? No problem.
Anytime Cutz Barber Shop on Bennett Street in Atlanta is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The popular shop is owned by Carol Lamar. Barber Chuck "Picasso" Scott says they get a lot of night owls in for touch-ups before a night on the town.
"This is the jumpoff," longtime customer Cavario H. added. "This is the one place where they can come into town, get off the plane at 11 o'clock at night, and come into a barbershop. This is the preparation, you know? Preparation for Atlanta nightlife."
Anytime Cutz just celebrated its one-year anniversary. Along with the local "regulars," Scott says the barbershop has some pretty popular clientele, including rapper Young Jeezy, Shaquille O'Neal and boxer Floyd Mayweather.
Part of the appeal, Scott added, is that the employees and the clients feel like family.
"Everyone who comes to the 24-hour barbershop always feels like they're at home," he said.
As for the long hours?
"I won't get tired," Scott added.

|Holyoke native is Coast Guard commanding officer in Astoria
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Douglas Kaup, son of Marian Kaup of Holyoke, recently assumed the esteemed position of commanding officer of United States Coast Guard Group/Air Station Astoria in Astoria, Ore.
Kaup is formerly of Holyoke, where he spent many days in his youth farming with his parents, until his graduation from Holyoke High School in 1975. He was married to Deborah Uptegrove, a 1981 Holyoke graduate, in 1986. Uptegrove is the daughter of Justine Likens of Holyoke.
Kaup attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, graduating in 1979 with a bachelor of science degree in industrial construction management. Right away, he began serving his country as an Army aviator. In 1986 he was selected as a Coast Guard Direct Commission Aviator.
Now, 23 years later, Kaup continues to serve in the Coast Guard, now as commanding officer. In a Change of Command Ceremony held Friday, July 24 at the Air Station, he addressed the many supporters and community members in attendance, accepting his new position.
In his years with the Coast Guard, Kaup has held positions in states across the country. He first served in California, followed by Alabama, Alaska, North Carolina and now Oregon.
In 1998 Kaup received a master of science degree in industrial administration at Purdue University. He has earned a number of awards including two Meritorious Service Medals, two Air Medals and two Coast Guard Commendation Medals, among other recognitions. In 2001 he received the Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Award for rescuing a stranded fisherman.
Kaup and his wife Deborah have three children, Levi, 19, Johanna, 16 and Jacob, 13.

Time is a great healer, which is why it is an ingredient in Dr. Hauschka Masks. Combined with carefully selected botanical extracts, oils and mineral components, each of these mask treatments uses time – just 20 to 30 minutes – to allow these ingredients to provide their benefits for the skin. Formulated by experts to help skin reach its full potential, Dr. Hauschka Masks work in harmony with skin tissues to restore their balance.
The ingredients used in Dr. Hauschka Masks are carefully selected not only for their particular, individual benefits, but also for how they interact with each other. The treatments are compounded according to a concept developed in 1935, which guides the skin toward balance and vitality. A key element to Dr. Hauschka Masks, though, is the time taken to allow these ingredients to interact with the skin and provide their cleansing, moisturizing, strengthening and protecting benefits.
The philosophy that guides the formulation of Dr. Hauschka Masks is that skin is working to heal itself, but that it needs the proper ingredients to accomplish this goal. These treatments achieve that goal by providing effective, beneficial botanicals and minerals from healthy, natural sources.
Reduce the irritation and redness of blemishes with Dr. Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask. The soothing, moisturizing ingredients calm skin that is inflamed by breakouts and rashes, helping to visibly reduce pores and soften hardened skin tissue. Quince (Pyrus cydonia) and borage seed oils soothe the skin, but the quince oil, along with jojoba seed oil and other emollients, also help restore moisture balance. Anthyllis vulneria and carrot root extract protect the skin and promote new cell growth.
The feel, appearance and balance of red, irritated skin can be transformed with Dr. Hauschka Soothing Mask. Used once or twice a week, the 20-minute treatment allows a suite of botanical ingredients to soothe and heal the skin. Through the use of borage seed oil, matricaria flower extract, quince seed extract, Anthyllis vulveraria extract and witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), the skin is calmed and renewed. A broad range of emollients, including jojoba seed oil and shea butter, help restore the skin's hydration.
Helping skin to reach its proper level of hydration is vital to its health and appearance, but it is also necessary to help skin retain beneficial moisture. The formula of Dr. Hauschka Moisturizing Mask includes a rich suite of emollients, including shea butter, avocado oil, sweet almond oil and olive fruit oil to provide skin tissues with their needs. In addition, the mask also provides the moisture-retention benefits of quince seed extract, rose flower wax and beeswax to help maintain that balance.

(USA TODAY) -- The body of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev's was released at 5:30 p.m. Thursday by the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the funeral service retained by Tsarnaev's family, spokesman Terrel Harris said.
The medical examiner's office does not make public the name of the family member who claimed the body or the funeral home that is handling the remains, he said. Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, issued a statement earlier this week saying she would relinquish her rights to his remains to his family.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death Monday, but the death certificate will not become public until the funeral service files it at Boston City Hall, Harris said. City Hall is closed for the day, so the death certificate will not be filed today.
Tsarnaev, 26, died April 19 after a gunfight with police in Watertown, Mass. Police said he was walking toward police, shooting, when he ran out of ammunition. Police tackled him and had him on the ground when his brother, Dzhokhar, ran over him while fleeing the scene.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill and is being held in a prison hospital while he recovers from gunshot wounds.

Royals Caravan Update: Kansas Trip
After two days of FanFest and the first two days of the Royals Caravan tour through Kansas, we aren't quite sure how these players – Billy Butler, David DeJesus and Joey Gathright – are still able to hold onto a pen. After all, the trio, along with Royals Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Leonard, broadcaster Steve Stewart and GM Dayton Moore, have signed their John Hancocks to baseballs, bats, gloves, hats, autograph cards and even a Royals chip platter. That's right, on the fourth leg of the 2008 Royals Caravan tour it's all handshakes, ink pens and Sharpies…
We left from Kansas City Monday morning – not as early as the caravan trip to Nebraska, but still pretty early for those of us recovering from our busy FanFest weekend. Day one in Kansas included stops at a Junction City auto dealership, a Manhattan bar and grill as well as a Wal-Mart in Salina. At each stops, the crowds got larger and the Royal blue was more prominent. Once we put in some extra time at the Salina Wal-Mart – and loaded up on some extra snacks for the bus – we headed to our hotel for some much needed sleep before what we knew would be a long, long Tuesday.
It's hard to forget about Greensburg, Kan. On May 4, 2007, a tornado hit the town and left it pretty much demolished. The Royals first visit to Greensburg was just a few short weeks after the twister touched ground. The second trip was Tuesday. We drove the Caravan bus into town around noon, just in time to stop in at The Lunch Box for a quick bite to eat. Following our lunch (and with our milkshakes in hand!) we headed over to the school to visit with the Greensburg students, who asked the players everything from who's your favorite baseball player to "Joey, will you go to prom with me?" (Prom night was a game night, so Gath politely declined). Fred White closed out the assembly by announcing that the Royals would be hosting a "Field of Dreams" game in Greensburg later this season.
From Greensburg, we headed to Hutchinson, where the line of fans snaked around the mall's food court and into the Hobby Lobby store. The players signed. The player shook hands. The players posed for pictures. The players got back on the bus. Onto Wichita…with a new set of fans to meet!
Now, all checked into the hotel in Wichita for the night, our heads are hitting the pillow fast. And, for the guys who have been signing their names like crazy all over Kansas…let's hope their hands re-coop enough for Wednesday because it's Emporia, Topeka and Lawrence and we are positive the Royal blue will continue to be out in record numbers!

Roxana, IL (KSDK) - Cleanup efforts are continuing at the Wood River Refinery, as Shell Oil plans to demolish and remove houses near the refinery fence line in order to remove petroleum vapors from the soil.
The three houses in question are located on the western side of the refinery. Demolition is expected to begin in two weeks. The site is expected to be cleared four weeks after that.
Shell Oil installed a soil vapor extraction system (SVE) on the refinery property. The system utilizes a vacuum to remove petroleum vapors trapped in the soil, and then moves them through a piping system where they're eliminated by a thermal treatment unit.
However, based on soil testing from 2011, Shell wanted to install another SVE near the intersection of Chaffer and Fourth streets to speed up the removal process. Shell agreed to purchase the three homes closest to the intersection and the owners agreed to sell their properties.
A Shell spokesman said the company will also comply with environmental regulations and remove any lead paint and asbestos in the houses.
Once the houses are demolished and the sites cleared, Shell will plant grass on the lots and maintain the properties, and continue to work with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) on future steps to keep the area safe and environmentally sound.
Shell Oil opened the Wood River Refinery in 1937. ConocoPhillips acquired the facility in 2003.

Statehood Spirit Alive and Well
Band, cannons, speeches mark W.Va.'s 150th

WHEELING — With cannon blasts, a volley of musket fire and three cheers of "Hip, hip, huzzah!" from the crowd, the spirit of 1863 was in full force Thursday as West Virginia's birthplace marked the......
The mayor as usual got it wrong. Without slavery and the secession of the southern states from the Union, and that portion of Virginia,now known as West Virginia, seceding from Virginia, there would be no West Virginia. Wheeling was just where this all took place and some credit is due, but it could just as well have happened at a bar out at Black's Cabin.

Hefner, it could have taken place at a bar at Black's Cabin but it didn't and that's the point. It happened here. This is where it took place and thus the reason for the celebration. I just don't get it. You moved from this area. You got the heck out of Dodge and yet you still feel compelled to troll the newspaper site and spread your negativity. If you were so gung ho on showing everyone here how it's supposed to be done, why run off? Why not stay and do something about all the wrong that has perpetuated on the good citizens of Wheeling? You are one of those people who, if at a parade where $50 bills were being handed out, would question why you weren't being handed $100 instead.

hercx007: the ignorance and the corruption of the government, plus the dismal appearance of the city of my youth, convinced me that it was time to move on. Also, I moved because I could; which saddens me because there are so many stuck there with no hope. So many, and I would count you among them, are just blind to the aforementioned ignorance of your government, and someone has to say something, so I do.

I am not blind to anything. I may not support the government but I do support the people. I am not without hope. I live here and believe in this city. Regardless of the negativity generated by others. I will support the many local businesses that are thriving and succeeding here. I'm sorry you felt you had to leave. I wish you the best wherever you are, but please don't lump me in with a group of people like that. I am an optimistic person and feel that this city deserves a chance. I just think it's a waste for people who have left this area and troll the message boards here, and there are many, to spread their negativity and bash on the good people who live here for having a positive outlook on things. I'm not giving up even though they and you have. I love this town and will fight for it!

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
Mavic Cosmic Carbone Ultimate Carbon Road Wheelset - Tubular $0.00
When Mavic engineered the Cosmic Carbone Ultimate Tubular Wheelset it was with the explicit purpose of creating a wheelset that would both dominate mountain stages and snatch victories in the Spring Classics. As part of the SSC series, these wheels have been tested by some of the world's best cyclists to see how they hold up against varied racing conditions. Regardless of what peloton you find yourself riding in, the Cosmic Carbone Ultimate Tubular is the aero, full-carbon fiber wheelset that you want under you as you dance your chain through stage races, cobbled roads, and triathlons.
Following in the same design path as the Cosmic Carbone 80 Wheelset, the Cosmic Carbone Ultimate benefits from shared technology with hyperaero light wheels. Using wind tunnel data and feed back from the pro peloton, Mavic did its homework on how to build an aerodynamic wheel that's hard to beat. Built to ride it all, the 40mm elliptical rim sidewall is made with monobloc full carbon construction, using a single piece of continuous carbon fiber for an incredibly stiff and responsive wheel in every imaginable scenario.
Keeping in line with the aerodynamic construction, Mavic uses rim-to-rim spoke construction to cut the number of spokes needed in half on the front wheel and the drive side of the rear wheel. Instead of using a woven carbon fiber for the spokes, Mavic went with a unidirectional carbon. Known for its stiffness when loaded on its axis, the fibers run continuously in the direction of the defined load path, wrapping to the center of the hub and increasing the stiffness of the wheel. These spokes transmit force and provide better dampening than traditional stainless steel spokes or even woven fiber spokes.
The Cosmic Carbone Ultimate front wheel runs on Mavic's super-smooth QRM+ bearing system. This micro-adjustable bearing preload system is also found on the rear hub, allowing the rider to dial in the hubs without removing the wheels from the bike. The rear wheel also uses Mavic's FTS-L system to reinforce the contact area between the pawl and hub body. This system uses two stainless steel inserts to create more stability and greater efficiency in the lightweight, aluminum freehub body.
Mavic didn't want to sacrifice ride quality by running just any old tubular tires on these wheels. Expanding the line of its wheel-tire system, Mavic has included GripLink/PowerLink front and rear specific tubular tires with the wheelset. With a 210 TPI and incredible cornering capability, these tires will stand up to the likes of the Hell of the North and any unkept city roads that you find yourself traversing.
The Mavic Cosmic Carbone Ultimate Tubular Wheelset comes with BR601 Titanium quick releases, a wheelbag, Mavic carbon compatible brake pads, valve-extender, computer magnet for the front wheel, multifunction adjustment wrench, and a user guide.
Note: The tires do not come pre-glued on the rims.

LONDON (AP) — If you go to Abbey Road in London, you just have to have your picture taken crossing the same street where The Beatles did, right?
That's getting to be such a problem authorities are considering stationing a crossing guard there.
The BBC reports residents have complained about increased traffic during the summer, and city council members are concerned about the number of tourists spilling into traffic.
The council is reviewing safety proposals but it has yet to agree on anything.

This is my implementation plan for a major upgrade I'm doing to a company's e-mail server. I haven't gone through with it yet, and plan on doing it tomorrow, but I'd like to know what you think. If it works out well, and contains best practices, I'll see if I can post this somewhere in more detail, maybe on a wiki, for anyone who ever has to go through a scenario anything like this.
Anyways, I've inherited a situation with a company with a POP3 server used for mail, apparently set up on qpopper and running what seems to be inherently open relays, running on an old FreeBSD box, with Vexira doing anti-virus work.
Since this is POP3 only, the user's mailboxes were not centralized -- they're scattered all over the place, unsychronized, on mailboxes on the network, on the workstations, on laptops, at people's houses, and so forth.
Oddly enough for the situation, this place has about 100 users and has somehow managed to work ok, minus numerous inconveniences, drag on the network, and massive use of storage space. After all, a 10MB file, base64 encoded to 20MB, and sent out to 100 different mailboxes, does take up 2GB under this sort of system.
So, I have been assigned to recreate the mail server there to solve these problems and centralize their mail. I was provided a Dell Poweredge SC430 with a Pentium D 2.8, 2GB DDR533, and 2x320GB 7200 16MB cache hard drives that I set up in RAID1.
I was planning on a typical old IMAP/Squirrelmail server, but however, looking around the net for what was new with open source mail, I found Zimbra. It floored me with its features, even though it would meet my original needs perfectly. I was aiming just for centralized mail initially, but it opens up the possibilities of more features and considerations of the commercial version in the future. Plus the install was much easier than the typical install of those servers, which is about as much fun as, say, a by-hand install of gentoo.
Since they had some Debian boxes around for a samba server and some other things, plus they won't pay for RHEL, I set up the open source version on a custom version of Debian Sarge 3.1 with kernel 2.6.14-i386-smp upgraded to 2.6.17-i386-smp. I had to choose i386 because of zimbra support, even though Pentium D's are 64-bit chips.
I could post more details of how I got it running, but if you're in the same situation, google for Poweredge SC430, iso, and Debian.
My additional requirements for this plan were:
* Minimum downtime. Certainly no more than 4 hours.
* High levels of security.
* Remove all the mailboxes from the network file server.
* Their old mail gets copied over to the new server.
* Web interface is optional, but not to be a new requirement.
* They can be able to access their mail by Mozilla, Thunderbird, or in some instances, Eudora.
So, I started reading all of the forums and wikis here deciding how to set this changeover up.
Situation Details
How it's currently set up involves numerous mozilla profiles stored in home folders on a network file server, containing their settings and mail. However, a number of them are in non-standard network folders, and a number of them are also on their hard drives -- or even worse, half and half, meaning profile on the network and mailboxes on the hard drive, or vice-versa. All they know is that they click Mozilla or Thunderbird, and they get their mail, even if in the background 10MB mails are multiplying into 1-2GB worth of data when sent to every user.
So, this means no neat automatic scripts. No imapsync, no nothing. Not all the computers are on the windows domain, so I couldn't rig anything consistently in that manner, either.
However, I was, however, at least able to find some of the locations of their mailboxes on the network. I decided against using mbox utilities like zimbra's inject utility (zmlmptinject?) to split them up, since they didn't seem as reliable, and it would likely take me time to script it properly. Plus people can't be expected to compact their mbox'es, despite my pleas for even basic cleanup, meaning they could end up moving over all kinds of deleted stuff, unless I'd have a way of reindexing them by referencing mozilla's msf indexes.
That means, basically, creating new profiles on their desktop, creating dummy accounts to load up their old mailboxes, then dragging and dropping them from their old folders to the mail server with their mail client. If anyone knows a better way in this situation, please tell me now -- I set aside an entire day on the weekend when the office will be out out to go desktop-to-desktop, though I have 2-3 people to help me.
I hope I didn't miss anything that would prevent that, though I did RTFM as much as possible.
Nevertheless, I wrote a throwaway-code batch file script to set up a new account for them that sets them up to point both to their old account's mail and their local folders for the ones I could find on the network. For mozilla, all you have to do to script a new profile is create a directory, write a prefs.js file in it, and use it as your profile directory. I prototyped it and put in variables based on dos environment variables like %username%. This will allow for some profiles to be auto-created, though I do have procedures for setting up by hand when it fails.
As far as another automation thing goes, I was able to pull all their data from their database system, however, to use that to write a script I could dump in zmprov commands with on the server set up side. This script saves tons of time and makes the install of zimbra practically instantaneous.
I just used php to echo the strings out after reading them from a database to their zimbra-equivalent LDAP formats. The end result was something like this:
I was also able to write mozilla vcards with the same code, which I put in the generated prefs.js files. I used some PHP code that pulled from their data, similar to this, to generate them.Code:# creating and modifying accounts ca firstname.lastname@example.com changeme1234 ma email@example.com displayName "Joe User" givenName "Joe" sn "User" ou "Department Name" title "Job Title" telephoneNumber "Phone Number" company "Company Name" physicalDeliveryOfficeName "Office Number" street "Street Name" l "City Name" st "TN" postalcode "12345" co "USA" zimbraPasswordMustChange "TRUE" # aliases aaa firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com # distribution lists cdl firstname.lastname@example.com adlm firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com adlm email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
Currently, I also have this all running on a test server for testing various things. I never found a clean way to change the domain name, so I can't do the porting first and then deploy.PHP Code:
$vc[$accountname] = array("begin" => "vcard",
"fn" => $name,
"n" => "$lastname;$firstname",
"org" => $companyname . ";" . $departmentname,
"adr" => ';;' . $address . ';' . $city . ';' . $state . ';' . $zip . ';USA',
'email;internet' => $accountname,
'title' => $title,
'tel;work' => $phone . " x" . $extension,
'url' => $companyurl,
'version' => '2.1',
'end' => 'vcard');
foreach ($vc as $k=>$v) {
echo "\n<br>";
foreach ($v as $k2=>$v2) {
echo rawurlencode("$k2:$v2\n");
So, my overall implementation plan is something like:
* Put the new mail server on the KVM switch
* Change the network settings of the old mail server to put it aside.
* Change the network settings of the new mail server to replace the old mail server.
* Uninstall the test version of zimbra with
o ./install.sh -u
* Reinstall version of zimbra and set it up in place of the new mail server with
o ./install.sh
* Change all the ports except smtp and 7071 (I couldn't find how to change this) from their default for paranoia purposes.
* (note: someone should not allow the installer to quit until an admin pass is entered. otherwise, it seems like it fails)
* Use a hacked up script from http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ to make sure no traffic goes to anything but them and ssh (also on a non-default port).
* Run my huge zmprov script to recreate the users, aliases, and distribution lists.
o sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov < /root/zmprov.txt
* Check to see if it's running and log in as the admin user
* https://mailserver.com:7071/
* Global Settings -> Ban all attachments save for jpg and mov, add zip, enable spam filtering, and do anti-virus updates hourly.
* Turn off logging services to speed up the transfer.
* Restart zimbra:
o sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop
# ps ax and kill any zimbra processes
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start
* ** Go from workstation to workstation, running my mozilla profile setup script, and once their mozilla profiles are set up, copy by hand from their old mailboxes to the zimbra server.
* Restart logging services
* Restart zimbra as in above.
* Fetchmail or otherwise import the undownloaded mail off the old mail server's IP that might have been sitting there. Worst case scenario, I re-import this by hand.
Sounds like a nightmare scenario, eh? At least in the workstation to workstation part. Well, Zimbra sounds like the cure. I really can't wait to move them off their current setup!
The only problem I've had, by the way, is that it shows the copied-to-server date under Zimbra instead of the Sent Date, though the real sent date remains intact, after copying from Thunderbird. Are there any plans to use the sent date from the message instead in the future, or ways to do this currently? The only thing I ever saw for it was a flag with imapsync, which unfortunately cannot apply here.
If you can make any suggestions, or find anything I'm doing flagrantly wrong, please let me know.

Three times the Bejeweled fun for everyone!Play the game you love, the way you want! The Bejeweled basics are the same. Swap two adjacent pieces to make matching chains of identical sparkling gems. Play at your leisure in the Classic non-timed mode. Move quickly to beat the clock in the Action mode! Put your brain to the test and clear the board entirely in the Puzzle mode. Power Gems and Hyper Cubes help you get to the next level faster and with more points.
1.Choose a mode of play. Classic is the original untimed game. Action pits you against the clock. Puzzle challenges you to clear all the gems.
2.Start by clicking two adjacent pieces to create a line of three or more identical gems.
3.In Action and Classic, you move to the next level when the meter at the bottom is full. In Puzzle, you move to the next level when you clear all the gems on the board.
Always look ahead for your next move. Remember: if you run out of valid moves, the game is over. So check carefully to see whether your move will open additional match options (good), reduce your available matches (bad), or leave you without any further matches at all (d'oh!).Also remember that matching a set of gems on the bottom of the screen will definitely affect all the gems above it, so if you can see two valid matches, consider the top one first.Combos and cascades score extra points! The more combos or cascade matches you can make with a single move, the more the bonus points rack up. Look for moves which will either make multiple matches at once, or cause the gems above to fall down into more ready-made matches.Matching four gems will create a power gem. Using the power gem in a match will cause it to explode, detonating all nearby gems. The catch, of course, is that the more gems you remove at once, the more difficult it is to predict what the board will look like after the explosion. Be careful not to remove all your match options in one fell swoop! Unused power gems carry over between levels, so if you're not sure whether using one would be a good idea, just hang onto it for later.Matching five gems will create a hyper cube. Swapping the hyper cube with any other gem will remove all gems of that color from the board. Sounds great, but here are three important tips:
· Since you can choose from any nearby color, try to pick the one which will result in the best score.
· Study the board carefully, to make sure there will be additional matches available after the big boom. You can always make a few other matches before using the hyper cube, to maneuver the remaining gems into a better position to continue the game.
· If you don't want to use the cube immediately, make sure not to detonate any nearby power gems. The hyper cube will detonate uselessly if it's caught in the blast.

Ned Yost media session: September 22
Ned Yost met with the media before tonight's game vs. Cleveland. The topic of discussion was pitching. Francisley Bueno, who came into spring training this year as an unknown, has been very effective as a reliever. Yost said, "With guys in the pen, they have to earn their appearances and Bueno has done just that. We put him in a situation and he's had success, and as long as he continues to have success like he does, he will continue to (earn) more situations. He has done a good job." He followed with, "The thing I like about him is he comes in and is ahead in the count, he's throwing strikes, he has a decent breaking ball, he's gets righties out just as effectively as he does lefties and he has just done a good job."
Left-hander reliever Tim Collins has not been as effective recently as he usually is. "He hasn't been as sharp. His stuff is still good, but he is behind in the count and struggling with command, especially with his fastball and his curveball," said Yost. With Collins not being as effective it has created more opportunities for Bueno.
Jake Odorizzi will be taking the mound in the final game of the Cleveland game tomorrow to wrap up the nine-game homestand. Many Royals fans are excited for his debut. Yost said, "I am excited, but I don't want to get this thing all hyped up. It is his first Major League start and we are excited to see him, but we are not expecting anything out of him. We want him to just go out and get it over with. The first Major League start, there is a lifetime built up to get to that point. What I want him to do is to go out and get it done. The main objective I think for me is for him to come in here and get a start, maybe two, so he has that experience to go into next season." Yost followed with, "It is a big experience (getting starts under your belt), look what it did for Will Smith (tonight's starting pitcher). He came up made three starts, went back down and came back up a little bit of a different pitcher. You have to experience and understand what it is like for a little bit and then you can start making progress. So I just want him (Odorizzi) to go out and make it through it."
