I played assassin's creed 1 for a few hours, but got bored fast of the same mission / progression structure, of the gameplay elements trying to be natural (helping people to make missions easier, with the townspeople quests just being there to help your main assassination that just fills time and become a chore fast). I was very interested in AC2 as I like the setting and period, but it seemed like the same game with a new look ; I don't care about online so buying AC2 was the only logical choice but despite being quite old it's still pricey in France.
This bundle is very welcome to me.

I bought AC2 for fifteen bucks over the summer and finally got around to playing and beating it in the past month. I had fun playing the game, but wasn't anxious to run out and get the other AC games and play them so closely together. Too much of a good thing and all that mess.
I don't know how I'd justify not buying the trilogy for that price, though. I might be able to five or six out of AC2 to put towards the new set.For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen.

The only one I have played so far is Assassin's Creed 2 and that was a while ago so I think I will be picking this up some time and then later getting AC3 once I am caught up. Seems like a good deal.

I purchased this when it came out, good times so far. Havint to fully install AC2 and BH to my HDD is a bit annoying, but whatever. However, I haven't noticed any DLC with AC2. It just keeps asking me to purchase it for $7.

I'm developing software to sync contacts and calendars from a Zimbra server.
Since this is for a mobile platform I'd like to minimize the amount of data transferred. Since the contact image can be quite large relative to the rest of the contact info I'd like to only download it if it has changed. However there seems to be no way to find out the modification date of the image and the server seems to ignore the "If-modified-since" HTTP header.
Is there some other way to do this? If not, I would like to recommend it as an enhancement.

I like it, nice, neat, clean and very functional.
For a campaign I am running with friends, we needed a new home base, and while I really love Sandpoint, it wasn't what I needed, so with a lot of tinkering I have come up with the following. It is nearly complete. The map part is done but I really need to work on the trees and river in my opinion. I always read but almost never post here so here you go. I hope someone likes it.
I like it, nice, neat, clean and very functional.
Very nice. Sandpoint is a great city and I like your reorganization. Big church for such a little town, however. Will you keep the story of its creation similar to the original? Have a little rep!
Thank you. Without trying to give an entire summation of the campaign the short version is no. I have radically altered the Sandpoint story. Except for the Goblin attack and Glassworks episodes, my campaign will not use any additional elements of RotRL. It is a half homebrew/half Forgotten Realms Campaign made for the Pathfinder Beginner Box ruleset to start.
The cathedral is very large, but this was intentional. It is a magically infused crystal glass structure that is modeled on Notre Dame. Short version - the owner of the Glassworks was a cultist of the campaigns Big Bad end guy and hid some secrets(bad) in the glass. This 'cathedral' is his dorment phylactery. The whole campaign is the players recovering runes etc for the "kind mayor" to protect Dawnpoint. She hopes to be the BBEGs avatar or simulcrum and was instrumental in causing the fall of Nualia behind the scenes.
As a final push when I ran the Beginners Box the presets went through Crypt of the Everflame. The girl they rescued at the end was Nualia as a young teenager in my game and was the catalyst that allows the 'mayor' to set her schemes in motion.
ps- This entire map was done in Paint.net as I do not know Photoshop (nor own it)

I had just returned from Tibet the night before. I had not unpacked my luggage or camera bag. Shortly after nine o'clock when I heard of the attack, I went up on the roof of my apartment building and watched both towers billowing smoke.
I photographed the second tower collapsing at 10:28 AM. After shooting from the top of my building, I walked down to Ground Zero at noon, and stayed until late that night when all my film was gone, but I couldn't bring myself to leave.
Later, as I walked back home, I was struck at how life slowly seemed to come back to near normal the further you walked away from Ground Zero. It was strange listening to conversations of people who seemed to be unaware of the magnitude of this incredible event. I wanted to go up and shake people and say, "Don't you realize that this is probably the most important day in your life?'"
This is a photograph on the morning of September 12th, of search-and-rescue teams.

Patient Plasma Response and Outcome in Septic Shock With Thrombocytopenia Associated Multiple Organ Failure in Children (TAMOF)
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to learn how blood clotting substances respond in children with septic shock, low platelet counts, and multiple organ failure (MOF) treated at different institutions.
Multiple organ failure can be related to an infection producing "septic shock," in which substances released in the blood cause poor blood flow to the organs. The number of platelets circulating in your child's blood stream is also decreased (this is called "thrombocytopenia") as a result of this condition. Research has shown that certain substances in the part of the blood known as plasma (the clear liquid part of the blood not including the red blood cells but holding blood clotting factors) can cause the organs to work poorly. The investigators would like to compare these blood responses in children with this condition, receiving a variety of different treatments, for multiple organ failure in other medical centers around the world. The investigators hope to enroll 80 patients into the study.

Written By N.C. State Sports Information Dept.
RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried has announced the addition of guard Trevor Lacey, a transfer from Alabama. Lacey will sit out the 2013-14 season and will have two years of eligibility remaining to play for the Wolfpack.
"We are extremely excited to have a player with Trevor's abilities join our program," said Gottfried. "He is a winner and really understands the game. I believe he is a player that will blossom in our system, and we look forward to having him be a part of our team."
Lacey was a two-year starter at guard at Alabama and was the only player on the Crimson Tide squad to start all 36 contests in 2012-13. As a sophomore, the Huntsville, Ala., native averaged 11.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest and led the team in assists per game (3.2), three-pointers made (62) and three-pointers attempted (166).
During his two seasons at Alabama, Lacey played in 69 contests while making 52 starts, averaging 9.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists a game.
A five star recruit out of high school, Lacey was initially recruited by teams including Kentucky, Kansas, and UConn before deciding to play for the team in his home state.

1968 Shelby GT500 - Melding New & OldWritten by on July 1, 2010 Contributors: Robert McGaffin Red Humphries Succeeded In Building A Modern Version Of A '68 Shelby GT500.
Every once in a while you run across someone who just gets it. The world traveler who knows how to walk off an all-night flight and into a business meeting without missing a beat. The restaurant patron who can pair the perfect bottle of wine to any meal. In this case, it's Red Humphries' ability to perfectly meld vintage sheetmetal with late-model powertrain and interior touches that has us standing and applauding.
We've seen countless attempts at this. Putting modern parts on a classic car. Sometimes it works for a few years, like putting the latest Camaro wheels on your early Chevy, or grafting a later-model center console and seats into your muscle car. Sorry to say, but these are the rave at first, but they look outrageously unoriginal and outdated just a few years down the road. The art that Red has crafted in this '68 Mustang goes well beyond bolting on late-model wheels. He used a variety of components to create what a '68 Shelby GT500 would look like if it were produced today. And we dare say that his car will look just as cool 10 years from now as it does today.
Red is no newbie to the sport. As the owner of Red's Place in Charlotte, North Carolina, he makes his living by building, restoring, and creating cool rides for other people. In fact, he's been doing this his whole life. In 1970, he had a '50s Ford Country station wagon. He'd borrow from his rent money to buy and sell wagons to build his. He'd take the better parts off the new car, putting them on his, and then hoping he could resell the extra wagon before the rent was due.
He was at a car show last year with a friend and customer, Paul Lange, when they came across a '68 Shelby fastback for sale. The asking price was pretty hefty, but his friend was interested in buying it, and he asked Red what he thought. He said, "I think it is 12 o'clock now, and if you give him 200 grand now, put your dog in the front seat at 2:30 and drive home seven hours, then drive the car for 90 days and drive it back, you'll probably lose around 100 grand." Then he did it. Red tossed out the comment that for far less, he could build a clone that would be even more fun to drive.
The next day, Paul called Red and said, "Do it." And so the process began. Red set out to build a '68 Mustang the way that Carroll Shelby might if he were to do it today with modern technology. Red spent the next three months thinking about how he would build the car and researching what components were available. This wasn't going to be a catalog build, where you just order one of everything that fits a '68 Mustang. The components were strategically selected. In fact, the year of the car was chosen because the SVT blower would fit under a '68 Shelby hood. Red chose the best of all the parts that he could get his hands on. He selected pieces that would look right and work well together, and he passed on those that just didn't fit with the desired style.
Choosing the drivetrain was relatively easy. A supercharged SVT 5.4-liter for a '08 Mustang GT500 and Tremec T-56 was a no-brainer. Making it fit and look like it belonged there, however, required some planning and work. He actually corralled the engine and transmission before he had a car. Both components were brand new in crates. He chose a set of tubular headers, a cold air kit, and aftermarket electronic tuning to boost the power to an estimated 610 hp. He then located a Mustang body that another shop was throwing away!
Red found that a Fatman Fabrication Power Suspension Module (PSM) would accommodate a 4.6-liter, so he reasoned that the 5.4 should fit as well. Red had several people tell him that the 4.6 and 5.4 are pretty much the same. After this project, Red says that's true, until you get them out of the box. There are hundreds of slight differences that keep the 5.4 from being a direct fit for anything designed for a 4.6. The Fatman PSM is designed to better control high-torque engines. It also lowers the car about 3 inches. It converts the car to front-steer rack-and-pinion (the rack mounts in front of the axle center line instead of behind it). This helps makes room for just about any Windsor or Modular engine. The system also uses a coilover suspension for excellent road control, and adjustable ride height. Red capped the new front suspension with Wilwood brakes and grafted the whole suspension module to the car.
Since the concept of this car was to make it look the way that Shelby would build one today, Red passed on all the billet accessories. Underhood, the car has the appearance of a stock late-model. Cast-aluminum valve covers, factory hoses and hose clamps, Ford fluid reservoirs, and so on. If you've never tried to create this look, you can't imagine the effort it takes to pull it off so thoroughly. The only thing that doesn't look like it came that way from the factory are the shock-tower braces that tie the Fatman system to the cowl for additional support. The bottom line is that the visual execution of Red's Mustang is spot-on, and forsakes anything that will look outdated in a few years.
To finish the drivetrain, Red reworked a 9-inch. He stuffed a third-member with a Ford limited-slip and a set of 3.50 gears for some serious highway speed. For suspension in the rear, he mounted a pair of QA1 coilovers to a Ridetech AirBAR. We're pretty sure that neither QA1 nor Ridetech had that combination in mind, but it works for Red. The combination provides a strong mounting location for the coilovers with appropriate suspension travel and shock angle. With coilovers at all four corners, Red said he can tune the suspension so you can drive the car and drink a cup of coffee without a lid, and then dial it up to lay down some serious lap times on a road course.
When it came to the exterior, the windshield frame is about all that's left of the donor car that Red started with. Repop parts, along with a whole lot of sheetmetal replacement and fabrication, recreate the classic lines of a '68 Shelby. Only subtle differences set it apart from the others. At the rear, Red made sequential turn signals function in the vintage tail lamps. The snake on the gas cap is vintage, while the fender emblems are from a late-model. Instead of a tubular rollbar, he grafted in a late-model winged bar that better fits with the style of the car. The biggest difference from the side is the wheels. American Racing Shelby 17-inch wheels front and rear match the style of the car so perfectly that original Shelby GT500 wheels just look wrong in comparison. The front of the car relies heavily on reproduction components, but hidden among them are modern touches like the late-model GT500 hoodpin plates.
The interior posed an additional challenge. Red wanted some modern conveniences in addition to classic styling, and everything needed to be functional. The style and form of the original dashboard was retained, and the factory gauges were replaced with new meters from Classic Instruments. The white faces provide a modern performance look while the internals deliver the precision that's required with a blown motor underhood. A tilt column was added and topped with a wood-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel to maintain the classic styling. Even though there is a thoroughly modern transmission under the carpet, the shifter retains the style of the original four-speed's shifter, complete with the reverse-lockout mechanism.
The seats started out as a pair of Procar seats by Scat, but were modified for fit, and covered in black vinyl with stitching to give them a '60s flavor. As a nod to modern technology, Red installed a Kenwood sound system complete with a motorized display. Power windows and a Vintage Air system complete the creature comforts.
It took Red a year to build this car. As the owner of a specialty car shop, it's hard to carve out time for your own project, so this is actually an exceptionally short build. His son, Ben, and friend-turned-employee Cassie Allen worked with him to complete the car.
Shortly after the car was finished, Red and the friend who prompted this car build headed to Vegas for the Mustangs Across America driving event. Seems only fitting. Red's biggest surprise is that Paul wanted to buy the car. At least Red still gets to drive it now and then!

A quick glance by most car enthusiasts wouldn't pick out all of the details in the interior. While most of it looks stock, very little actually is. Details like a wood-rimmed steering wheel and heavy stitching on the seats retain a '60s flavor.One of the biggest challenges to putting 17-inch wheels on a classic muscle car is matching the flavor of the vintage styling. These American Racing Shelby Cobra wheels fit this car perfectly.This car has universal appeal. Modern muscle car enthusiasts recognize and appreciate the technology and performance, and Mustang buffs dig it because it doesn't look butchered. And who doesn't like a red convertible Mustang?

Tallahassee, FL - September 29, 2012
Walkers in Tallahassee are hoping each step they take helps them get one step closer to wiping out Parkinson's Disease.
About 200 people walked along the Southwood Community as part of 'Moving Day'. They walked between 1 point 1, 2 point 1 and 3 point 1 miles.
The walk raises money for the National Parkinson Foundation's North Florida Chapter to fight the disease.
Parkinson's Disease affects the body's nervous system.
"Most people know Parkinson's Disease, but the community doesn't know much about that. So our organization wants to bring awareness to the community," says Janice Pedler of the North Florida Chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation.
There is no known cure for the disease.
The North Florida Chapter hopes to raise about $30,000 through the walk and donations.

VIENNA, Va. (WUSA) - Tom Gryder has a service dog because he's legally blind.
Even though the American Disabilities Act makes it illegal for businesses, including restaurants, to deny entry to people's service dogs, Gryder and his wife say it happened to them yesterday right in their own town of Vienna.
They had gone to the Virginian Inn for breakfast and it was crowded.
"Basically, he just told us to wait outside. I said No and said 'I'm calling police.' And he said, 'Go ahead.'' "
Tom Gryder called the Vienna Police Department, but they couldn't help the Gryders because in Virginia, it's not a criminal offense to refuse entry to a service dog. "I was livid. I have always been told, call the police, they'll take care of it," said Tom Gryder.
When the Gryders arrived, they were treated well this time. They were quickly shown a table and not one question was asked about Astro, a black Labrador retriever.
Gryder accepted the apology and gave up any legal challenge, but he thinks the state should make the offense criminal.
"Apparently, some know you can call police and police won't do anything. So that needs to be worked on," said Gryder.
The owner told police that the reason the Gryders were denied entry was because they were creating a disturbance.
The Gryders do admit they refused to leave and called police, but only after they were denied entry because of their service dog.

Caught in The Act
Chicago Drum Show Clinics
Chicago Drum Show Clinics
We were lucky enough to attend clinics at this year's Chicago Drum Show, given by artists including Kim Thompson, John Blackwell, Jovia Armstrong, and Kofi Baker.
Kim Thompson was a jazz whirlwind on stage performing tunes from her new album. If you have not heard her lately you've got to see her perform.
John Blackwell demoed his new Dixon kit and Turkish signature cymbals, while playing his laid-back funk.
Jovia Armstrong of JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound taught how to transfer drum set to cajon. She was wicked using her left hand on cymbals and right palm on cajon.

Todd Sucherman Shredding With Styx
Styx Live At The City National Civic in San Jose, Ca 3/17/2016
Styx is an institution as well as a helluva band. The group, which started in Chicago in 1970, had its first big hit in 1973 with "Lady." But its heyday began in the late '70s as they reeled off a series of Top Ten singles, all in a style that mixed '70s progressive flourishes, hard rock, pop, and theatrical lyrics into a meld that was all their own. Superstar drummer Todd Sucherman joined the band in 1996 after the death of original drummer John Panozzo and he has been a mainstay of the group ever since. DRUM! caught the band and Todd during a recent show in San Jose, California on St. Patrick's Day. The band swept through their serious songbook of hits like Genghis Khan sweeping across Asia, taking no prisoners. The volume and energy was high, and they played some obscure tunes as well and included tributes to David Bowie and Keith Emerson, both recently passed. Stux stays on the road much of the year so you might want to catch Todd in action when he gets to your city.

Original bassist Chuck Panozzo showed up for a few tunes with guitarist James Young.
Who says Tommy Shaw has lost his rock star moves?!
Though not exceedingly complex, Styx songs are arranged with grandeur and built from cyclical structures that include A,B,C,D, or even E parts, and sometimes multiple soloists. Todd keeps them on track and on time.

Statistics don't sell cycling, cycling does. People have to see and feel it for themselves to really understand the significance of putting cycling at the forefront of rethinking our urban mobility. The most powerful means second to that are the visual arts: photos and videos. My modus operandi.
I have more than plenty of photos to show, the video part has been falling behind this year. That's going to change. I ordered a GoPro camera. I recognized the power of this camera when I saw Paul Martin, part of the Australian Cycling Dutch Style group which I joined a few times on their study tour around the Netherlands a little while ago, put that camera to good use. It's awesome. Many visitors I host, have either followed Amsterdamize or have read up on cycling in the Netherlands otherwise, also going through tons of pictures and videos. Either they still couldn't believe it, or were expecting the ultimate cycling Walhalla. Yet, all of them, really all of them realized upon arrival that nothing beats experiencing the reality on the ground. Steven Vance from Chicago, for instance, was only half-joking when he uttered I was cherry-picking the best cycling moments with my camera...until he rode here himself. Alas, enough of the babbling. I positioned myself on the bridge over the Prinsengracht, leading towards one of the arterial bike routes in downtown Amsterdam, Nieuwe Spiegelstraat.
That street is a one-way street for cars (not a through-way, but mostly used by people who live there or delivery vans), which can rarely (and won't) overtake people on bicycles (as it's a Bicycle Street) and a two-way street for people on bikes (and mopeds unfortunately) & a narrow sidewalk on each side. At that time on that Saturday it was not particularly busy, not like during the week when on average 25.000 people travel up and down this stretch on a daily basis. It's a fast, thus popular connection between the Museum quarter in the south and the downtown area, en route to Central Station. The video already received a first comment on Vimeo:
That is what the motor vehicle to bike ratio should be in every city...ideally.
I know, that's why I'm still living here :). Enjoy. If you have any questions, write it in the comment section.

ATLANTA -- It's not just a T-shirt bearing the colors and script and tomahawk logo of the Atlanta Braves. The shirt, produced by a husband and wife Atlanta-based marketing company, is a very subtle spoof that starts with two transposed letters.
"The Atlanta Barves," said Everett Steele, one of the shirt's creators. Then he spelled it out: "B-A-R-V-E-S."
"It's just an obnoxious misspelling. It kind of started on Twitter with people just writing 'go barves.' I just thought it was really funny," said Allison Steele. "Just sort of ridiculous."
Allison and Everett Steele run Baby Robot Industries. They sell shirts on atlantabarves.com, and say they donate the proceeds to the Atlanta Braves Foundation. The shirt, they say, parlays a simple misspelling into an homage to their favorite baseball team, and a parody of the Internet.
"I think this is why it's funny to me. I hate the internet spelling, the Twitter CU later, LOL speak," said Everett Steele. "I can't stand it. So when this started taking off, I think that's why it was so funny-- because it was a very cognizant owning of the stupidity of the Internet, the collective stupidity."
The question is whether the Atlanta Braves, who market a popular and valuable brand, will get the joke.
"I don't think the braves will laugh at all," said attorney John Harris of Morris, Manning & Martin LLP. Harris says courts have given lots of leeway to parodies of brands. But using a brand to parody the Internet may be too subtle.
"If they're making fun and nobody gets the joke, then how fun can it be? It's a bad joke," Harris laughed. "(But) bad jokes are free speech too."
"We'll stop if (the Braves) want us to stop," said Allison Steele.
The Steeles say they have sold about a hundred Atlanta Barves shirts since the start of baseball season -- and haven't heard a word from the Atlanta Braves-- at least so far.
A spokeswoman for the Braves said the team would withhold comment until it researched the matter.

1968 Ford Mustang Fastback - The PaintjobWritten by John McGann on April 4, 2013 Contributors: Douglas Glad Hands On with Dupont Paint
Another April issue, another paintjob. This one will differ slightly from the last few we've done. This year, we sought help from the professionals to refurbish this 1968 Ford Mustang fastback owned by Jon Schultz, local Mustang enthusiast and car-show organizer. Elite Restoration of Paramount, California, offered to help by doing the bodywork and paintjob on the car, using the latest formula of DuPont's Cromax Pro waterborne basecoat.
Why waterborne paint? It's here to stay, that's why. California requires its use (at least in repair shops), and the rest of the country is falling in line. Waterborne paint differs from solvent-based paints in that the chemicals used to suspend the pigments (the color that sticks to your car) are friendlier to the environment. Though not exactly mixed with the same kind of water that comes out of your tap, the formula uses water as a base, and that's what evaporates as the paint dries, emitting water vapor instead of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere like solvent-based paints do.
People fear change, and switching to a waterborne basecoat does require a few changes to a painter's routine, and we will address those later in the article. First, let's meet our 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback and fix a few of her issues.
|Cowl panel/grille assembly
|Fender apron, rear
|Hood hinge
|SMC hood w/steel frame
|Taillight panel
|Transition pan w/shock mount
|Trunk upper corner
|Valance, front
How Much?
We didn't include a complete price list, because this was a job intended to be a high-end restoration from the start, and Elite was cool enough to let us follow along. Shop wisely, and you'd probably be able to gather all your materials from suppliers like Auto Body Toolmart for less than $2,000. That is, of course, assuming you have a water-compliant spray gun (with stainless steel internals), a large-capacity air compressor, welders, and the time to devote to such an undertaking. Painting a show car costs more than the bargain-basement paintjobs we normally do ourselves for the magazine. Look at our April and December issues from the last few years if that is the information you seek. We do, however, like to keep up with emerging technology, and waterborne paint is here to stay. When asked about the possibility of waterborne primers and clearcoats becoming available as well, DuPont's Steven Chaparro wouldn't say much more than if the EPA makes them mandatory, DuPont will be able to deliver. If or when that happens, you can count on Car Craft to bring it to you in a practical and straightforward presentation.

Jon Schultz is the owner of this 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, and this is basically the condition the car was in when he bought it. It's pretty typical of the more desirable vintage muscle cars; they are either fully restored and are selling for a small fortune or they are a pile of parts. Sometimes you get lucky, and they have tires and wheels that roll.Unless you know exactly what condition the body is in, plan and budget on doing some repairs. Or plan on a full teardown from the start and save yourself the headache. Often, you'll find damage or rust hidden under primer and Bondo. Jon had the Mustang blown apart at his place before dropping it off at Elite.Once at Elite, owner (and former NFL player for the Rams!) Danny Frechette and his guys got the car on a rotisserie for closer inspection.The floor reinforcement was munched near the attachment points for the shocks. Frechette decided to replace the taillight panel, cowl, driver-side fender, and this driver-side fender apron, which looked like it had been treated to some dodgy bodywork earlier in life. Likewise, the entire cowl assembly was replaced; the old one was completely rusted through. While some of these panels could have been repaired, it is often less expensive to replace them with reproduction pieces than to metal-finish them, depending on shop labor rates.All replacement sheetmetal came from Dynacorn. We've used its reproduction panels before and were pleased with the quality and fitment. This time was no exception. The fiberglass hood and front valance needed some sanding and trimming, but that's the case with all fiberglass parts.All replacement sheetmetal came from Dynacorn. We've used its reproduction panels before and were pleased with the quality and fitment. This time was no exception. The fiberglass hood and front valance needed some sanding and trimming, but that's the case with all fiberglass parts.To keep the repairs looking original, the replacement panels were spot-welded rather than plug-welded with a MIG welder.
After the replacement panels were installed, the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback was scuffed with a variety of stripping pads. While not fully stripping the car to bare metal, the guys cleaned up enough to show that there was no other hidden damage. Scuffing the surface like this also provides a surface for good primer adhesion.At this point, any minor dents were repaired, and the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback body was prepped for primer. Don't be alarmed at what looks like gallons of Bondo. This is all a skim coat of metal glaze and is probably only about 1⁄16-inch thick. On cars destined for the show circuit, we've seen the entire body covered with a coat of glaze.Note the even transition between the coat of metal glaze (near the B-pillar) to the coat of primer that was on the car when Jon bought it (closest to camera). There are no hard edges between one layer of material to another. This technique is called feather-edge sanding.Prior to starting this job, we had arranged to work with DuPont to demonstrate how to use its waterborne paint.In addition to the basecoat, the company provided the primer and prep materials, all seen here. LE3404S is a medium-gray urethane primer filler, meaning it's intended to be sprayed on the car in several layers, then mostly sanded off, leaving a flat, wave-free surface for the paint. The paint is then mixed with an activator/reducer in a 4:1 ratio. Your paintjob will look best if you match the primer color to the basecoat. DuPont assigns each of its basecoats a ValueShade number and recommends using a primer of the same number. Other paint manufacturers have similar systems.Elite Restoration's Santiago Andrede first wiped the car with DuPont's Surface Kleen wax and grease remover and Sontara cloths. Then he mixed the primer and sprayed two coats using a 1.8 tip in his DeVilbiss Finish Line HVLP spray gun. The primer was allowed about 15 minutes of flash time between coats.After giving the primer a full 24 hours to cure, Santiago sprayed the whole car with guidecoat—quick-drying paint of a contrasting color—then began block-sanding the whole car with 220-grit paper.The guidecoat allows you to monitor your progress as you sand; basically, you sand until it is gone.
The round sanding pad is available from Auto Body Toolmart is perfect for sanding areas such as the rear wheel opening, where a number of curves and body lines come together.Any guidecoat that remains in an area where the rest of it has been sanded away indicates a low spot that likely needs an extra coat of spot primer or more metal glaze.You can also use a guidecoat to make sure you get all your body lines straight. Here, Santiago used a long piece of masking tape to indicate where the sail panel meets the edge of the roof. This is a long edge that will be difficult to eyeball in this phase of the job, but if you don't get it right, it will be painfully obvious once the glossy paint dries.With the edge defined, Santiago was able to sand a crisp, sharp line from the top of the roof, back to the decklid. Gaps in the guidecoat indicate where more sanding is needed to straighten out the line. If you are attempting this at home and you sand too much off in one spot, build it back up with more primer or glaze, and start over.After this first round of block-sanding, the Mustang was back in the booth for two more coats of primer, followed by a round of wet-sanding. What is the reason for the extra coats of primer? The first round of block-sanding can expose spots of body filler or metal glaze, which is more porous than primer. If you just topcoat over this stuff, it will absorb the paint, leaving a puckered spot that is lower than the rest of the surface. Also, block-sanding is usually done with 220-grit paper, which will leave sand scratches of its own. Priming the car one more time will cover any exposed body filler or glaze and all the 220-grit sand scratches.In addition to spraying two more coats of primer to the body, Santiago primed the interior and engine compartment. He adjusted the spray pattern, shooting a narrow stream into hard-to-reach areas. After another 24 hours of cure time, Santiago sanded the car again, but this time wet-sanding it with 400-grit paper, which leaves a very smooth, scratch-free surface for the basecoat. Be sure to let the car thoroughly dry before painting, though. In all, this car needed two gallons of primer to be finished to Elite's satisfaction.In addition to spraying two more coats of primer to the body, Santiago primed the interior and engine compartment.

Be sure to let the car thoroughly dry before painting, though. In all, this car needed two gallons of primer to be finished to Elite's satisfaction.Here's a random factoid we weren't aware of: There's more than one type of tack cloth, at least in DuPont's product line. The cloth on the left is to be used prior to spraying primer; the middle cloth is for general-purpose car cleaning; and the cloth on the right is to be used prior to spaying waterborne topcoats. Its formula is slightly different from the other two. It feels less sticky to the touch and leaves no residue on the car's surface.
The paint we used for this job is DuPont's Cromax Pro waterborne basecoat. Jon picked out the color, Deep Impact Blue, which is a 2012 Ford color. It was shipped to Elite ready-to-spray, though the shop has the capability to mix the color in-house.Painter Praveen Singh did the car's final prep before donning the stylish shoot suit and spraying the basecoat according to DuPont's recommended one and one half coats. That is, one coat with the gun held 12 inches from the surface, spraying with a 70 percent overlap on each pass, immediately followed by a lighter mist coat, holding the gun about 15 inches from the surface and using less overlap. DuPont calls this method "wet-on-wet" application and recommends spraying one panel or section at a time this way before moving on to the next panel. This differs from the way you'd apply solvent-based paints, where you'd work in large sections at a time, keeping the "wet edge" moving continuously across the car. Also unlike solvent paints, once you've done your one-and-a-half coats, you're done. There's no need for flash times and second coats. But you do have to wait for the basecoat to fully dry before clearing it. Most shops will have a force-dry feature in their spray booth, so they can bake the paint to speed uPraveen used his Tekna spray gun with a size 1.3 tip and an air cap designed to spray clear coats. This combination helps atomize the waterborne paint into a very fine mist, which, according to DuPont field representative Steven Chaparro, offers better coverage. He explains, "Think of it like big raindrops versus thick fog or drizzle. Which one covers a surface more evenly in a single pass?" He went on to say that DuPont's waterborne formula is unique among other waterborne basecoats in that it can be applied wet-on-wet. Others must dry between coats. "It's in our chemistry. Wet-on-wet increases productivity in the shop by increasing the number of cars that can be painted in a day."Home users wishing to try their hand at spraying waterborne paints can buy Chromax Pro or any of the major brands at the local auto-body supply store. They can be mixed to match any OE color or tints, can be measured by weight, and are added to a base formulation of blender and activator to achieve the overall color. Because of its superior coverage properties, you should only need about a gallon to paint most cars.After the basecoat has dried, the clear coat can be sprayed. ChromaClear LE5100S was chosen. Two gallons were needed to cover the car in about three medium coats. Praveen used his Iwata HVLP gun with a 1.4 tip. Being solvent-borne, it is sprayed in the traditional wet-edge technique, painting broad sections of the car rather than panel by panel.After the basecoat has dried, the clear coat can be sprayed.

It was a big day of celebrations Sunday at Camp Lejeune as the first of the 24th MEU return home.
Members of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit are officially back home from their 9 month deployment. The Marines spent time in Jordan, Morocco, Rwanda, Kuwait and other countries. With Christmas right around the corner, it was the perfect gift for these families to have mom or dad back home
"There's so much to do. There's a Christmas tree to decorate and there's presents to wrap. There's so much to catch up on. It's so nice to not be home alone anymore and have someone to share all her fun moments with," said Jennifer Darrell with respect to her husband who just returned home and their young daughter.
It will take the next 2 days for all 2,300 Marines to finish their return.
Homecomings are also taking place at New River and Cherry Point Air Stations.

I agree with you Montana. I have to admit when hunting for meat, I still won't kill a young buck and don't like to see some other hunter do that either. It happens.
"To me... trophy hunting IS the ethical thing to do. Harvest mature animals."
To me yes. That is the ethical thing to do. Again as my post stated "to me, where I live", a place you hunt from Sept 1st thru Jan 15th and can harvest 7 deer
The ethical thing to do is harvest mature animals. There is no reason to take younger deer. Doe or buck. Kids of course are another story.

confusing Musket man. I cannot make out what you are trying to state. Just do what makes you happy I guess.
Just wanted to say I'd ratter someone trophy hunt than what they do here shoot first thing they see just so they can say they got one an if your meat hunting whats wrong with doe or cow. I hunt for the hunt I know what I'm going to shoot when I see it, its not how big the antlers are or if it even has any its what it takes to get to that point in the hunt that matters.
I am both. Whether you trophy or meat hunting its still hunting. Being in the outdoors and that's what its all about. IMO
Doe Management Equals Deer Management
By Kevin Holsonback, Wildlife Biologist, Black Warrior WMA
What does "doe management" mean? Among most wildlife professionals, doe management is synonymous with antlerless deer harvest. Antlerless harvest should be one of the most important components of a deer management plan. While most hunters and clubs realize the importance of managing bucks on their property, many fail to realize the importance of managing antlerless deer as well. Many things can be accomplished with an adequate antlerless harvest, all of which ultimately affect the buck population. A balanced sex ratio, shorter and earlier breeding season, increased reproduction and recruitment, and improved herd health are a few of the objectives that can be met with proper antlerless harvest.
Wildlife biologists often encounter concerns about antlerless harvest recommendations when assisting private landowners and hunting clubs with developing deer management plans. Hunters and landowners are often reluctant to harvest does because they are afraid they do not have enough deer. This misconception can often be dissuaded with sound information concerning general deer biology and the affects of antlerless harvest.
One population characteristic that is greatly affected by antlerless harvest is the adult sex ratio. Why is a balanced sex ratio important? If there are a disproportionate number of does in a deer herd, it is reasonable to assume all will not be bred in a timely manner. Many does will not breed and conceive on their first estrous cycle because there are not enough adult bucks in the population. These does may not be bred until their second, third or later estrus. The result is a long protracted breeding season. Also, these does will give birth later in the year than does that conceived during their first estrous cycle. These late summer, early fall born fawns typically encounter vegetation that is generally poorer in quality and quantity as it "hardens off" for winter. This causes most late born fawns to come out of their first winter in poorer condition than early born fawns. In addition, many late born bucks will have poorer antler development as 1½ year olds than fawns born earlier in the year. With an extremely unbalanced sex ratio, some does may not breed at all.
Too many does also means the bucks will have to do very little searching for breeding opportunities, reducing a hunter's chance of seeing a buck. When the number of does greatly exceeds the number of bucks, the bucks do not have to compete for the right to breed. This reduces the number of rubs and scrapes observed during the hunting season. Prolonged breeding seasons wear bucks down more than a shorter, more intense rut. Bucks in this situation enter late winter and early spring in much poorer physical condition. These bucks face a much tougher recovery period in the spring and summer, which can affect antler development and body weights the following year.
A given habitat can only support a certain number of deer in healthy condition. If the number of deer exceeds this level, habitat degradation and poorer herd health result. About one-third of a deer herd should be removed each year to maintain the population at a stable level. If the sex ratio is balanced, doe harvest should make up between 40 and 60 percent of the overall harvest to maintain this healthy balance. After only a few years of aggressive antlerless harvest, doe sightings may decline. Many hunters fear the decreased sightings are a result of drastically reduced deer numbers, when in fact; they have only educated the surviving does with the increased hunting pressure.
Fawn production and recruitment typically increase as a result of doe management. Does usually begin breeding at 1½ years of age, and if healthy, will reproduce each year until they die. Fifty does in good condition produce more fawns than 100 unhealthy does. Additionally, fawns produced by healthy does tend to have higher survival rates than fawns born to does in poor condition.
When deciding to harvest does, hunters must be careful to avoid harvesting buck fawns or "button" bucks. This can easily be accomplished with just a little practice at identification. Hunters can learn to tell the difference between adult does and fawns by observing body shape and size. By waiting until several deer are present, a size comparison of the deer can be made. Additionally, adult does typically have longer and larger faces than fawns. The shape of the head on most buck fawns is flatter than a doe's head and the developing pedicels or "buttons" are often visible upon close observation. Behavioral cues may help distinguish age classes of antlerless deer; fawns are usually more playful than adults and are generally not as cautious. Plus, fawns are often the first deer to arrive at a feeding area.
Managing antlerless deer harvest is just as important as managing buck harvest. As a matter of fact, a good deer management plan will always place equal importance on managing bucks and does. Often, in their attempt to meet harvest goals, hunters may forget that hunting does that have been pressured can be just as difficult as trying to harvest a mature buck. Don't overlook this opportunity to enjoy a challenging and exciting hunt when trying to improve your deer herd.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
I guess I fall somewhere in the middle, if there is such a place. I used to be the guy everybody hates because a trophy was the only thing that mattered. I have nearly divided my family and gave my dad a heart attack over stupidity. My dad has leased the same land we hunt since the year I was born(83). Around the time I was in high school we started managing our bucks a little more. Each year the deer we killed got a little bigger. My freshman year in college, my dad killed a 144" buck. Not a monster when you hunt where most of y'all hunt but in south Louisiana, that's a stud! That buck did something to me. I seen the potential we had and went 5 years without pulling the trigger on a buck because nothing was big enough. I always kept up on management by killing a couple does with my bow each year but let every buck I seen walk. My older brother who lives out of state now would come over for holidays and shoot a young buck every year, most of which were bucks I had already let walk that year. He would be so excited and I crushed the excitement every time. Holidays around my parents house wasn't the fun time it was supposed to be and I was 100% to blame. The only way my dad could shut me up was threaten to drop the lease. Since i was in college i couldnt afford to pick it up. Then I finally killed a buck that I considered a trophy for where I hunt. All I could think was, its not worth it. The only thing that made that buck special was it was the first buck i killed, with my dad in the woods also, in a very long time. I will be the first to say I was wrong. Even though he is 10 years older than me, he never hunted as hard as me so his meaning of a trophy wasn't the same as mine. I was too immature to see that. Since then apologies have been made and now we are closer than ever. He has sent me a text message everyday for the pasted 2 months of a number. That number being the number of days until we leave for WY together for the first time. This morning it was 13. I still hunt for what I think is a trophy but I will always try to fill a doe tag for the meat. I picked up a leftover cow elk tag in my mule deer area this year because I have never cooked elk and I really want to try it. I am also looking forward to the pack out so I can see what all you guys have been talking about
I am a hybrid trophy hunter I guess. I hunt where pack outs are long and the terrain is rough so I will not shoot a deer or bull under the age of 3 years old anymore. I say anymore because growing up I shot any buck or bull I would see. Now the urge to shoot any buck or bull is gone, I like to challenge myself by taking mature bucks and bulls, plus this usually extends my season. I still fill the freezer every year because I buy an extra cow and doe tag for meat tags. I do not fault anyone for taking younger class animals and I feel this is another "live and let live" hunting situation kind of like the other argumentative topics we have debated on this forum. As long as you do not make hunting competitive to the point you quit enjoying it then I say do it the way you choose. One thing I hate is people putting down other hunters for not shooting animals that do not meet a size standard, especially new hunters and youth. I say you shoot the buck you think is worth your tag and I will shoot the buck I think is worth my tag. Then at the end of the hunt we shake hands, say congratulations, and all look forward to next season.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!

Last year, a school called me three times in one day. Each time, I was busy with something I couldn't get out of. They left no message. They didn't e-mail. The only way I found out it was from a school was by looking up the phone number later -- if I hadn't had caller ID, I never would have known.
I'm really lucky I didn't need that job...

I'm not surprised that some schools would be so stupid as to either not use email or not leave messages. These are philosophers we're talking about, after all, so we all know that there's a larger percentage of them that, whatever their other virtues may be, are idiots about basic bits of dealing with others and normal parts of life.
On caller ID, last year I got a call during interview time from a number I didn't recognize. When I answered and said my name (it was my office phone), the caller said, "uh, sorry, wrong number and hung up." I looked up the number, and it was from a school I had been hoping to hear from. Who knows what the screw up was, but it was funny, as well as sad.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri legislators are cutting their work week short because of concerns about a winter storm.
The House and Senate usually meet from Monday until mid-day Thursday each week. But the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch from late Wednesday through Thursday for most of Missouri. The forecast calls for a mixture of ice and snow, depending on the location.
The Senate now plans to quit for the week around noon Wednesday to allow time for lawmakers to drive home before the winter storm arrives. The House also is giving members a chance to leave early. It plans only a technical session on Thursday, in which no bills will be debated.

Exploring Citizen Science
Jul 31, 2014, 11:34 AM, Posted by Christine Nieves
I remember the distinct feeling of learning about Foldit. It was a mixture of awe and hope for the potential breakthrough contributions a citizen can make towards science (without needing a PhD!). Foldit is an online puzzle video game about protein folding. In 2011, Foldit users decoded an AIDS protein that had been a mystery to researchers for 15 years. The gamers accomplished it in 3 weeks. When I learned this, it suddenly hit me; if we, society, systematically harness the curiosity of citizens, we could do so much!
This is the spirit behind our recent exploration to learn more about how citizen scientists are addressing some of the most pressing problems in health and health care.

Austin at RB gives offense a new wrinkle
MORGANTOWN - Sometimes all this coaching mumbo jumbo is just that.
They design intricate formations, employ dizzying motion and speak with confusing terminology. Much of it is designed to deceive opponents and, or so it seems, fans alike.
And then along comes something fresh and new and revelatory, something that perhaps never before occurred to coaches making hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars, despite its incredible simplicity.
Like maybe putting Tavon Austin in the backfield and handing him the football. Don't overthink it or overscheme it. Just do it.
"I only had two plays,'' Austin said after one of the most productive individual performances in NCAA history. "Run to the left and to the right.''
In the end, it didn't matter as far as Saturday night's result was concerned. Austin and West Virginia still lost to Oklahoma, 50-49, on a Landry Jones-to-Kenny Stills 5-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds to play. That was the second time the Sooners had erased a WVU lead in the closing four-plus minutes after the Mountaineers had battled back from game-long deficits to take the two late leads.
Still, what Austin did was historic and it was revealing. On the latter of those two points, it was revealing in that turning Austin loose as a running back signals to remaining opponents Iowa State and Kansas that they had better prepare long and hard for the new wrinkle. And yet another dimension can only be a good thing.
"I would think probably so,'' offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson replied late Saturday night when asked if Austin's move into the backfield would be repeated. "We'll game plan [for Iowa State on Sunday] and I'm sure we'll find ways to get him the ball. It'd be pretty stupid if we didn't.''
Indeed, against a defense other than Oklahoma's run-inviting 4-1 front, lining Austin up and expecting similar results is probably unrealistic. But after Saturday night's performance, some variation of it certainly has to be tried.
Not having lined up in the backfield regularly since his days at Baltimore Dunbar, Austin did so right from the start against Oklahoma. By game's end his numbers were utterly staggering, as was his performance itself:
And afterward it left Dana Holgorsen naturally wishing he'd done it before.
"It probably should have been done four years ago,'' said Holgorsen, who was nowhere near WVU when Austin arrived on campus in 2009. "In hindsight we obviously should have done it prior to this.''
Well, perhaps, but that's not necessarily true. No one can argue with Austin's success as a first-time tailback, but he hasn't been bad as a slot receiver, either. He remains the nation's leader in receptions per game and just went over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the second straight season.
But the most compelling argument against putting Austin in the backfield more prior to this has had little to do with his potential production. Both his listed height of 5-foot-9 and his listed weight of 171 pounds seem an exaggeration at times, and those body types don't react well to 20-25 tackles per game from linemen and linebackers. As a receiver and kick returner, when he's stopped it is often by smaller defenders or he has the chance to run out of bounds and not be tackled at all.
And, too, there's Austin's future, which is not as an NFL running back.
"No, I think I would still play slot,'' Austin said when asked if he'd prefer a return to his high school position as a tailback. "Just for my reasoning only, for my dream to play in the NFL, I don't think I would last in the NFL as a running back. If I do get that chance then I'd like to go in the backfield a couple times. But I wouldn't change anything; I'd stay a slot receiver.''
In West Virginia's closing games against Iowa State and Kansas, expect a mix. Again, Oklahoma's defense invited a back of Austin's ability, putting him in space almost immediately against a short-handed box. That won't be the case again, especially not in Friday's 3:30 p.m. game against defensive-minded Iowa State.
But it would also be foolish not to present the Cyclones with that threat and see what happens. If nothing else it will attract defensive attention that would otherwise be reserved for West Virginia's passing game.
BRIEFLY: Austin has scored four different ways now this season (receiving, rushing, punt return and kickoff return) and there's actually a trick play in the book where he passes the ball. It's never been used, though, and might not be used.
"I hate to say this about Tavon,'' Dawson said, "but he doesn't throw the ball very well at all.''

How awesome. You are so right, kids just love investigating. I had rock collections as a kid. I liked the Oysters and spirals the best. I bet the shark teeth look pretty neat too!
My girls love collecting shells. I've recently purchased a Fregie Bag -- perfect for shell collecting.
Wow! You really went to town! Those shells are beautiful and I love how you sorted them. We are going to make our way down to the local tide pools this week, and you have inspired me with the shell collecting!
my girl is always collecting sea shells. we have bags and bags of them. i even found a closed mussel in one bounty! gland i found it before the smell found me!!!
i love your rainbow painted shells, too!
have a great week
wow! what an amazing collection! love it.
Love the moon shells! Have fun crafting with them!
I can't wait to see what you come up with to do with them. We're going to the lake this weekend, but unfortunately the shells there are only fragments. Not nice sized ones like these. I end up buying our seashells.
My son loves collecting shells too. Kids love small things don't they?
I love you pic of all the clam shells, some lovely textures there.
oooh...ocean envy!!!
I need a trip to the Seaside soon!

Did you know that often, a cover letter is all a job recruiter will read before they decide to even look at your resume? Experts say that's why it's really important to use your cover letter to not only get their attention, but to convince them that you are the best fit for their company and that they will be missing out if they don't talk to you. Here are five phrases that they strongly suggest that you use in your next cover letter:
1. "I am very excited to learn more about this opportunity and share how I will be a great fit for XYZ Corporation." Strong cover letter closings are enthusiastic and confident. You want the reader to have the impression you are truly passionate about the position and working for their company. This statement will also illustrate your ability to fit into the company culture and how your personality and work ethic is exactly what they're looking for.
2. "I believe this is a position where my passion for this industry will grow because of the XYZ opportunities you provide for your employees." It's always a good idea to explain what you find attractive about working for the company and how you want to bring your passions to the table. By doing this, you can illustrate how much thought you dedicated to applying for the position and how much you care about becoming a part of the company.
3. "If I am offered this position, I will be ready to hit the ground running and help XYZ Company exceed its own expectations for success." By adding this piece to your conclusion, you will be able to add some flare and excitement to your cover letter. The reader will become intrigued by your enthusiasm to "hit the ground running." Employers look for candidates who are prepared for the position and are easy to train. Therefore, this phrase will definitely raise some curiosity and the reader will want to discover what you have to offer for their company.
4. "I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my qualifications will be beneficial to your organization's success." Remember, you want to make it clear in your cover letter how the employer will benefit from your experience and qualifications. You want to also express how your goal is to help the organization succeed, not how the position will contribute to your personal success.
5. "I will call you next Tuesday to follow up on my application and arrange for an interview." The most essential part of your closing is your "call to action" statement. Remember, the purpose of your cover letter is to land an interview. Don't end your cover letter saying you'll hope to get in touch. Explain to the reader the exact day and how you will be contacting them. When you state you will be following up with the employer, make sure you do it!

A protest march outsde the Los Angeles Convention Center on Tuesday was staged by Electronic Arts to publicize its upcoming Dante's Inferno game, according to the Associated Press.
While there was speculation in the gaming press yesterday that the event, which was reported as actual news by the Los Angeles Times and San Jose Mercury-News was a fake, today's report is the first actual confirmation.
According to the AP, EA spokeswoman Holly Rockwood said that the publisher hired a viral marketing firm which staged the protest. About 20 actors carried signs and distributed pamphlets protesting Dante's Inferno on supposed religious grounds.
The marketing campaign also employed a faux website, WeAreSaved.org.
GP: I'm wondering if the viral marketing firm used by EA for the Dante's Inferno bit was also the group behind the recent brass knuckles campaign supporting The Godfather II…
GamePolitics was among those sites reporting on the protest as an actual event. We picked up on the story via the L.A. Times's coverage.

Ryan Moeller isn't the only running back who carries the ball for the Rifle High School football team.
Granted, the senior did have his share of touches, rushing 33 times for 323 yards with three touchdowns, the final TD jaunt coming from 74 yards out, in the top-ranked Bears' 28-0 victory over rival Glenwood Springs this past Friday.
The Bears, however, showed they're diverse at the running back position. Four other players carried the ball for Rifle, including 12 carries, 49 yards and a touchdown from junior Kellin Leigh.
Moeller is OK with that, especially since he feels everyone's contributions go toward the team's greater good.
"Everyone sets each other up for success, it's not just setting me up," Moeller said. "It's like working at a factory where someone has to cut the piece of wood or move something around so someone can end up getting what they need. Everyone just does their job."
Whatever job each of the Bears has, it has helped Moeller amass 992 rushing yards going into Friday's Class 3A Western Slope League game at Montezuma-Cortez (0-3, 0-2). Not that Moeller thinks about that kind of stuff, though.
"If you start thinking about those kind of things, you start getting a big head and don't do as well as you think you can," Moeller said. "You have to stay focused on what you're doing and how you can get better. If you start thinking about the numbers, it's not going to help you out any."
There's plenty of big numbers Moeller doesn't think about, like the 330.7 yards per game average that leads all classifications in Colorado. The next closest rusher to Moeller is senior Trevor Chintala of six-man Fleming, who has racked up 775 yards through three games, according to statistics from MaxPreps.com.
The big number the Bears really care about, however, is their 2-0 record in league play - not necessarily the No. 1 ranking the Denver Post gave them following their season-opening win over Coal Ridge. They'll have to put that up against a long road trip to the Four Corners area in an effort to trip up the winless Panthers.
"The long road trip doesn't concern me," Rifle coach Damon Wells said. "We've made long road trips for playoff games before, so we're familiar with it. All we have to focus on is maintaining our level of play so far."

I have an individual with a Yahoo paid account that needed to have the emails preserved via Zimbra Desktop. After figuring out the correct settings and issues with firewall ports, I was able to download in excess of 77,000 emails. Of course it took a couple of days, however, all of the mail downloaded.
The email structure also contained 130 folders. I was successful in exporting all of the emails via the backup function; however the backup did not maintain the folder structure. It created folders named "Inbox!1" etc... and in my instrance, the last folder named "Inbox!153".
Is there a way to reconstruct the folder structure or at lease identify which emails resided in which folder? Or better yet, is there a way to export the email while maintaining the folder structure?
Is this a bug due to the volume of emails?
Thanks you in advanced.
