WHEELING - It's becoming a common theme at Linsly - a ton of youth and a lack of size.
This season will be no different.
Last season the Cadets persevered, earning a spot in the OVAC Tournament.
This Linsly team will be somewhat different with a squad featuring mostly guards and two big losses in point guard Carolyn Tolbert and leading scorer Damonique Patterson.
''This year, with the offense that we are running, we are athletic and we are quick,'' Coach Erica Hall said as she enters her sixth season at the helm.
''We scrimmaged Beallsville and they were bigger. We made them man the whole time and did surprisingly well. Just seeing that, with us running the floor and a lot of excitement on offense, we are going to be OK.''
One of the players Hall will count on to lead the team is J.J. Jackson, who is moving to point guard.
Jackson burst onto the scene in her sophomore season, averaging 12 points per game at shooting guard.
Jackson is a returning starter, along with Emma Cecil and Krista Emch.
Miriam Nwachukwu suffered a season-ending knee injury last season, but returns at 100 percent for her senior campaign. It's a good thing, too, because she is the Cadets' tallest player at 5-foot-9.
''With Miriam back to 100 percent, that should be a big lift for us,'' Hall said. ''We are looking upon our three seniors to lead us.''
Also cracking the starting lineup will be freshman Morgan Brunner.
''She brings a lot of experience and is very confident,'' Hall said. ''She is one of our best shooters and is such a hard-worker, day in and day out. She wants to be the best and work the hardest and she really pushes everyone.
''She is a freshman coming in and a lot of times, at the high school level, I don't see that much of a difference from your freshmen and your seniors.''
The first player off the bench will be sophomore Abby Petho. Other returning players include returning letterwinner junior Ava Tennant, as well as junior Rosey Raths, and sophomores Michaela Redford and Pris Wright.
''The only thing I am worried about is injuries, but you worry about that every year,'' Hall said. ''I think just talking about our first six, very athletic and quick and are team players. They are really enjoying the offense, and I think that is going to be a benefit for us this year.
''They have been fun to coach.''
To make up for its lack of size, Linsly will be moving to a motion-based attack.
''Just give them a little bit more freedom, especially with Morgan and Emma who are good shooters,'' Hall said. ''Krista, in the past has had to play as kind of a second post, but since we have so many guards, it makes sense to run an offense that puts emphasis on shooting and handling the ball.
''With Miriam in the post, she is athletic and runs down the floor, and this will give us an advantage.''
Hall is assisted by Carrie Ochap and Rebekah Newell.

Massive manhunt on for ex-cop accused of killing 3
LOS ANGELES A fired police officer who threatened to bring "warfare" to the Los Angeles Police Department went on a shooting rampage that left a policeman and two others dead and set off an extraordinary manhunt Thursday that put Southern California on edge, led hair-trigger officers to mistakenly shoot innocent citizens and forced police to guard their own.
The search for Christopher Dorner had three states and Mexico on alert before shifting Thursday afternoon to the snowy mountains around Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where police found his burned-out pickup truck.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said officers were going door to door looking for him, and that a SWAT team was providing added security to those in the community. Schools were put on lockdown while investigators examined the vehicle and spread out across the area.
"He could be anywhere at this point, and that's why we're searching door to door," McMahon said.
Throughout the day, thousands of heavily armed officers patrolled highways throughout Southern California, while some stood guard outside the homes of people police say Dorner vowed to attack in a rant posted online. Electronic billboards, which usually alert motorists about the commute, urged them to call 911 if they saw him.
"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" to Los Angeles Police Department officers, on or off duty, said the manifesto. It also asserted: "Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. That's what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name."
Dorner, 33, had several weapons including an assault rifle, said police Chief Charlie Beck, who urged him to surrender at a press conference held amid heightened security in an underground room at police headquarters.
"Of course he knows what he's doing; we trained him. He was also a member of the Armed Forces," he said. "It is extremely worrisome and scary."
The nearly 10,000-member LAPD dispatched officers to protect more than 40 potential targets, including police officers and their families. The department also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy targets.
"I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours," the manifesto said.
At one point, officers guarding one location mistakenly opened fire on a pickup truck, believing it matched the description of Dorner's dark-colored 2005 Nissan Titan. Two occupants were injured.
The chief said there had been a "night of extreme tragedy in the Los Angeles area" and that the department was taking measures to ensure the safety of officers.
The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in which one of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented him during his disciplinary hearing.
Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium on Sunday in Irvine. Quan, 28, was an assistant women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California.
Police said Dorner implicated himself in the couple's killings in the manifesto posted on Facebook. They believe he was the one who wrote it because there were details in it only he would know.
In the post, Dorner wrote that he knew he would be vilified by the LAPD and the news media, but that "unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."

Greensboro, NC -- Police are trying to figure out how a food delivery turned into a robbery in Greensboro Saturday night.
When officers arrived on the scene at 3539 Lynhaven Road around 9 p.m., the victim--a delivery driver--told them he'd been robbed. The victim said he was heading to the front door when he noticed a man waiting for him on the porch.
The man, wearing a light blue hooded sweatshirt, stole something from the driver. At that time, police say, another unidentified suspect attacked the man.
The two suspects ran behind the house toward Creek Ridge Road.
Police are still investigating this incident.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.

Just curious...
We have some interest in some type of project management app here. I thought it would be wicked cool to integrate with something like Basecamp. I've never used it but have heard good things about it, and it looks like they have a good API there that would be easy to put into a Zimlet.
I saw that there was a discussion about this almost a year ago and wondered if anything came of it?
I've never written a Zimlet, but there is a first time for everything....and this might be fun...but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done it.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
2012 SEASON IN REVIEW: Texas State became integrated into the FBS for the 2012
campaign, and in its only season as a member of the Western Athletic
Conference, it finished 4-8 overall and 2-4 in league play.
The Bobcats' campaign got off to a fantastic start as they went on the road
and defeated Houston, 30-13. They moved to 2-1 a few weeks later following a
41-37 triumph over Stephen F. Austin, but from there the squad fell into a
tailspin, losing seven of the next eight contests before closing the season
out with a 66-28 thrashing of New Mexico State on Dec. 1.
Texas State has moved to the Sun Belt Conference, and with its transition to
the FBS complete, the team will be eligible for the league title and bowl
eligibility this season.
OFFENSE: Texas State benefited from playing in the high-flying WAC last year,
although both its scoring (28.6 ppg) and total offensive numbers (379.8 ppg)
were rather modest.
The Bobcats' biggest asset in 2012 was senior quarterback Shaun Rutherford
(.645 completion percentage, 2,137 yards, 15 TDs, five INTs), and now Tyler
Arndt grabs the reins under center. Arndt hopes to have more success than he
did in limited action last season when he completed fewer than 40 percent of
his throws (22-of-56) with one touchdown and three interceptions.
Fortunately for Arndt, plenty of experienced receivers are back to help him
out, with Andy Erickson (39 rec, 482 yards, three TDs), Isaiah Battle (28 rec,
315 yards, three TDs) and Brandon Smith (21 rec, 226 yards, two TDs) all
bringing starting experience.
The top returning rusher is Tim Gay, who gained 279 yards on just 27 carries
as a freshman (10.3 ypc). Robert Lowe, Chris Nutall and Terrance Franks will
also compete for carries.
DEFENSE: The defense had a difficult time stopping anyone a season ago,
allowing 33.5 ppg on 484.8 ypg, but the return of six starters on that side of
the ball should help improve things in 2013.
The Bobcats had a difficult time getting to the quarterback last year, piling
just up just 12 sacks in 12 games. The return of Blake McColloch and Jordan
Norfleet will help, but the duo combined for just two sacks.
The team was much more effective forcing turnovers with 26 (14 interceptions,
12 fumble recoveries). Safety Craig Mager (48 tackles, four INTs) is a bona
fide playmaker in the secondary.
David Mayo is the lone returning starter at linebacker and he tallied 41
tackles in just seven games last season.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Will Johnson serves as both the placekicker and punter a year
after connecting on 12-of-17 of his field goal attempt and averaging 41.0
yards per punt.
Jafus Gaines is an explosive kickoff returner, putting up 808 yards on 28
returns (28.9 avg). Erickson is equally dynamic on punt returns, running back
17 for 284 yards (16.7 per).
OUTLOOK: Although Texas State's inaugural campaign wasn't always smooth, it
exceeded most expectations by winning four games, and now that that's in the
past, head coach Dennis Franchione is anxious to start looking to the future.
"Last year was our first year in the FBS ... I would characterize it as being
more hopeful than anything," Franchione said. "Now that we've got that year
under our belt, I think we're more of a hungry team than a hopeful team."
As a team that can put up solid point totals while giving up its fair share to
opposing teams, Texas State should be able to fit right in in the Sun Belt,
but with question marks at quarterback, it seems unlikely the squad will be in
contention for the conference crown. A record comparable to its 2012 mark
seems more realistic.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A tow truck driver accused of hitting a robber with his truck on Tuesday has been charged with murder two while armed, according to court records.
The incident happened at the 1300 block of Kenilworth Avenue NE at 12:44 p.m. Tuesday.
According to charging documents Kevin Lewis Crouch of Southeast D.C. approached 35-year-old Corey Stoddard on the Collision Towing lot. Stoddard had been helping a customer at the time. The customer told police that Crouch talked about an allegedly towed vehicle before taking out a black handgun and announcing a robbery. The customer also reported that he and Stoddard tried to run away but Stoddard fell.
Stoddard told police later that when he fell Crouch hit him in the head twice with the gun. Stoddard took out his wallet and threw it to the fence before running in the opposite direction, he told police. He reported seeing Crouch pick up an object from that area, according to charging documents.
Charging documents also indicated that Stoddard told police he ran back to his tow truck in the lot and drove over to Crouch. The customer reported that Stoddard told him he struck Crouch with the truck while being chased. In the charging documents, police say evidence suggests Stoddard drove on the sidewalk and ran over Crouch. Crouch was dragged approximately 100 or more feet.
Police say the weapon, a pellet or BB gun, was found under Crouch's body.
Stoddard has been charged with second degree murder. His next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 22.

What I am trying to do is use my zimbra server more like outlook or Zimbra desktop. I have a work email (firstname.lastname@example.com) that all inbound/outbound traffic has to come from & be received by for compliance. It would be best-case if Zimbra can aggregate my emails (searched that too and be a mail storage for everything, then at home/cell/work I see the same thing while still allowing me to use the personal email domain I have set up.
What I am working with:
-Ubuntu 8.04
-Zimbra .2.4 FOSS edition
-old poweredge server running virtualbox (zimbra is in a vm)
What I have done so far:
-I have read the wiki & anything else I can find external MTA with Zimbra.
-set up relay password
-ran all of the postfix security commands
-added the external relay pop3.work.com to MTA tab
-Not knowing how to properly use this powerful tool I even tried an alias domain/account...that didn't work out so well either as then every time I tried to email someone at work Zimbra assumed they were also supposed to be @zimbraserver.com
I just can't seem to get it to work the way I want. Zimbra allows me to send emails & retrieve the pop account I want, but sent mail always comes from email@example.com on behalf of instead of firstname.lastname@example.com.
The only reason I am not using a newer version...32bit this is the last supported version for Ubuntu.
I am guessing this is something Zimbra can easily do...just haven't figured it out yet
Please be gentle...its my 1st Zimbra
Thanks for anything.

State Treasurer Lynn Fitch has told lawmakers that she suspended the Mississippi Prepaid Affordable College Tuition program because it is struggling financially and an audit will show whether it needs to be overhauled or scrapped, as many other states with similar programs have done.
Fitch told the Joint Legislative Budget Committee that until the audit is completed, MPACT will not enroll any new participants.
Fitch said MPACT, which has 22,293 families enrolled, is only 76.8 percent funded, leaving a $94 million shortfall. She said investment earnings last year were only 0.6 percent.
Actuaries say it must earn 7.8 percent a year to stay in the black, with college tuition increasing about 7 percent a year.

[Start Rant]
Anyone in the search biz who knows me, knows I'm a pretty easy going person and sometimes even rational. My experience with usbank Visa both in the past and today trying to buy a product online and later a domain name transfer gave me a good taste of the unreasonable way seemingly reasonable companies are serving customers. And making it difficult to stay on as customers.
First, I attempted to purchase a product I was planning to use as a prize for a contest at our office. I should have just had Amie take care of this stuff, but I thought it would only take a few seconds like most of the monthly online purchases I make. However, in this case, the online merchant checkout screen said there was a problem with the usbank Visa.

Andy Murray - Cincinnati
The Other Andy made a major career breakthrough this weekend earning his first Masters Series shield by defeating Novak Djokovic 7-6(4), 7-6(5) for the second time in as many matches. He becomes the first Brit baller to win in Cincinnati and will move up to a career high no. 6 in the ATP rankings. If I were a betting man (and I'm not - I swear!) I'd put Andy on the short list of faves for the US Open.
Dinara Safina - Montreal
Dinara continued her recent dominating play at the Rogers Cup grabbing her second consecutive title by crushing diminutive Slovak Dominika Cibulkova 6-2, 6-1. The big-balling Russian had an outstanding week in which she came back from a set and a break down to oust Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals and dismissed Victoria Azarenka in the semis. Her first Grand Slam title is within her reach - can she stay consistent and seal the deal in New York?
Caroline Wozniacki - Stockholm
Caroline made history earning her first career title and becoming the first Dane to win a tournament on the WTA Tour when she claimed the Nordic Light Open championship. The 18-year old needed to play two matches on Sunday to win the title after play was suspended on Saturday due to rain. She defeated top seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the semifinals then obliterated Vera Dushevina 6-0, 6-2 in the final.

I'm so happy for Andy finally coming through one of these!! Awesome. And i see him and Dinara both making a good run at the Open.ReplyDelete
Andy could be peaking at the right time. But, barring injuries, Rafa's going to win the Open. I have nothing for or against either one. I just don't see anyone stopping Rafa at a slam right now. Somewhere down the line, I would like to see Andy win Wimbledon. I get kind of sick of seeing the same 1 or 2 people winning all the slams.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Dinara. I definitely want her to win the Open! She is probably the only female tennis player I like now who has a chance.
Indeed, if Rafa wins it my happiness will exceed pure bliss!ReplyDelete
Actually, Safina beat Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals & Azarenka in the semis. It was Cibulkova who defeated JJ in the quarters. Regardless, Safina was unbelievable this week (& last week, & I guess for the past few months too), so I'm excited to see how she would do at the US Open (now that Maria is out I don't really have anybody to look forward to)...ReplyDelete
duly noted thanks kakeru!ReplyDelete
Rafa needs to rest if he wants to win the US Open. He looked sooooo beat playing Djoko the other day.ReplyDelete
Djoko meanwhile has to learn how to control his frustrations so as not to affect his game - pardon my grammar, it's 9.30 AM. Djoko needs to find his zen in matches. Seriously. He could've easily won that match. Andy is good, but not that good - yet.
I want Dinara to win as she is the only one who seems to really "want it" on the girls' side.
Anyways, congrats to all winners!

So, I installed Zimbra on FC3 and the installation went relatively well, once I read the forums and figured out I had to kill the LDAP server after a ./installsh -u. Anyway, I got everything up and running, but I can not log into the Administration Console. I have tried every possible variation of firstname.lastname@example.com, admin, etc. I have reinstalled several times. No love.
Searching really didn't help. Any ideas?

The Voice: Adam Levine And James Wolpert's Clone Babies Wow With Queen Cover
November 26, 2013 07:01 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
An Adam Levine victory on The Voice grows more likely by the day, with Blake Shelton surely starting to fear for the continued viability of his reign of terror. Last night, Team Adam impressed once again, intimidating the competition with a unique 'clone baby' approach.
What happens when, as Christina Aguilera puts it, you clone Adam Levine and James Wolpert…and let the clones procreate? Outside of a terrifying scenario worthy of a Syfy Saturday special, you wind up with an amazing, albeit disturbing performance on The Voice.
That's right, Team Adam's still on top — and Blake Shelton's worried! Although Adam still considers Tessanne Chin the ultimate front-runner, he also scored a keeper in James Wolpert, the classy crooner who effortlessly carried off Queen's hit Somebody To Love. He was helped along by a backup group of James Wolpert look-alikes dressed in matching tuxedos and geeky glasses. Carson Daly put it best when he announced, "Representing Team Adam — James Wolpert…and the many James Wolperts."
Needless to say, the judges absolutely adored James' version of Somebody To Love. In fact, CeeLo Green labeled it "one of the best performances ever in the history of The Voice." As you may recall, that same "best performance" pronouncement also took place when Tessanne Chin performed Pink's Try. Either way, it looks like victory is well within Adam Levine's reach!
Did you miss out on James Wolpert's army of clone babies on last night's episode of The Voice? No worries, for we've included a video of the performance below. Check it out and then head to the comments section to tell us what you think!

|Softball team slams Yuma
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Dominating their homecoming softball games with Yuma Saturday, Sept. 21, the Lady Dragons won a 23-3 game in three innings, then put the Indians away 18-3 in four innings in the second game of the doubleheader.
"It was great for the girls to get two wins at home and even better that it was their Homecoming game," said coach Ashley Clayton.
"We have been working with the girls to compete, no matter who is on the other side of the field. It was nice to see them continue to compete at their level throughout both games," added Clayton.
She emphasized that the girls made the adjustments they needed to in the batter's box in order to ensure great hits. "That is a huge stride for them," said Clayton.
As they have put many people in new defensive positions, they will continue to get better and better with practice and game experience, said Clayton.
"The girls are doing the things they need to do in order to be successful, and it was nice to see that pay off for them with two wins," praised the coach.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Kenny Boynton scored 20 points and Florida used a 31-6 run across the halves to rout LSU 74-52 on Saturday.
Patric Young had 14 points for the Gators (12-2, 2-0 SEC). Boynton's perimeter shooting and Young's interior play were instrumental in Florida controlling the offensive end.
The Tigers (9-4, 0-2) stuck around well into the first half before Florida broke a 19-all tie with a 10-1 run to end the half, punctuated by Scottie Wilbekin's jumper at the buzzer.
Anthony Hickey scored 15 points for LSU, who have lost 4 of 7 after starting the season with six-straight wins.

Ready for a freight pickup
March 01, 2011
While shippers and carriers often haggle over rates and contract terms, they typically agree on the fact that post-holiday season freight volumes tend to be lower in the first quarter than the rest of the calendar year.
So with the calendar turning to March 1 today, we are now two-thirds of the way though the first quarter and are seeing some favorable trends so far, which will hopefully serve as a springboard to success for the rest of the year and beyond, when it comes to assessing the marketplace.
Many of these encouraging signs have been mentioned in this space and other sections of http://www.logisticsmgmt.com in the past. These things include: strong truck tonnage growth, manufacturing momentum, and sustained retail sales growth, among others.
While there are good signs of this year shaping up to be the best one in terms of freight volume growth since before the Great Recession. I would like to think the days of using that word are in the rear-view mirror, but with diesel and oil prices making us cringe on a weekly (or daily) basis, we may be in a holding pattern on that front.
Another reason I am glad that we are on the homestretch of the first quarter is that it means February is officially history. For us in the Northeast, it was one for the ages with storm after storm seemingly every day….and everywhere else pretty much.

Preparing for Pregnancy:
planning before you get pregnant
Planning before you get pregnant is very important. Simply put, the healthier you are as you are planning your pregnancy, the more likely you are to have a healthy baby. We hope you'll start planning for pregnancy as soon as you begin to have thoughts about having a baby.
A baby's organs begin to form in the first few weeks of pregnancy, before you may know that you are pregnant. As this is a critical phase of development, the more planning you do, the greater the pay off can be in terms of the health of your baby. Unfortunately, there are no foolproof methods for having a healthy baby, but there are many things you can do that may improve your chances of a good outcome.
Planning your pregnancy may help you to:

Is that a Reliable tent?
My hunting partners and I have several tents inlcuding two Reliables that look just like yours. We also have two Reliable 10X10s with floors. Then there is the old 10X12 we use for tack and feed, and a old secondhand crapper tent. We habe the pole frame like yours for the reliable, but we are going to the full internal frame route next year. I'll see if I can find a pic or two.
My folks have a fully furnished cabin in the area as well that serves as a base camp as well.

I've been asked to make a tutorial on creating my Mapbox animation, so here it is:
The animation to which this tutorial refers is here:
This tutorial assumes some basic knowledge of Gimp, so not all of the instructions will be given in full.
Disclaimer: I'm a novice with Gimp, so there may be easier ways to do this than the methods I've used.
The tutorial is in two parts, Creation and Animation.
A number of images are used, and some of these need to be created using Gimp itself.
The images are:
The background flooring texture
The device drawing
The circuitry texture
The electric spark texture
The blank screen
The screen image
The broken glass texture.
The images labelled as textures are downloaded from an appropriate free texture site.
The device drawing is one I prepared earlier in Inkscape, basically just a white frame with a black panel and a heavy drop shadow. Make your own or find something suitable on the web.
The blank screen is just a dark grey rectangle, but it needs a cut out so you can see the circuit board through it - more on that later.
The screen image is a map I made a while ago in Viewingdale - any image will do. Again, it needs a cut out so you can see both the circuit board and part of the blank screen through it, and I'll describe that process next.
Screen Masks:
The key to the cut outs is the broken glass texture. The texture I downloaded held the 'cracks' against a black background.
First, adjust the size of the texture to fit your device drawing (or vice versa).
Making the Blank Screen Mask:
Use Fuzzy Select to select one 'shard' of the glass (fortunately, the 'cracks' divided the image into separate black areas so that individual shard sections could be selected).
Bucket fill the selected shard with a colour you won't use elsewhere (fluorescent green, perhaps) Likewise select and fill the centre 'bullet hole' with the green.
Use Colour Select to select the green parts and then invert the selection and bucket fill with dark grey everything except the green bits. You have now created a mask of the blank screen with a lurid green cut out that you can later make transparent.
Making the Screen Image Mask:
The process of making the screen image mask is similar, but needs a few additional steps.
Firstly, make a new blank screen image, but with an extra shard coloured green - ie two shards plus the centre.
Open your chosen screen map image and adjust the map image to the correct size then copy the new blank screen mask into a new layer above the map. Colour Select the grey part and Edit > Clear to make the grey transparent. Flatten the image and you should have the map image with a green area for the cut outs.
Making Transparent Glass:
Open the broken glass texture again and use Colour Select to select the black. Change the colour to transparent. This can be done two ways:
Simple Edit > Clear, if the image has multiple layers,
or by adding an Alpha Channel and converting black to alpha:
Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Layer.
Colours > Colour to Alpha.
This should give you transparent broken glass, with the 'cracks' alone on a transparent background.
At this point you have all the parts you need to create the animation.
Creating the Background:
Open a new drawing. Import the flooring, the device, the circuitry, the blank screen and the transparent glass texture onto successive layers.
When you import the blank screen, use Colour Select and Edit > Clear to make that lurid green transparent. You should see the circuitry in one shard and the centre.
Flatten everything onto a single layer.
Right-click the layer in the Layers Window and click Change Attributes. Alongside the name, type a time in brackets - eg, 'Background' becomes 'Background (5000ms)'
This denotes how long the frame will display when it is animated.
Making Frames:
The animation process interprets layers as movie frames, so you need to create a drawing with layers that represent each frame of your movie.
Layers > Duplicate Layer will make a new copy of your background (you'll need this background in every frame/layer, but you'll modify it each time).
Copy your lightning texture and paste it into this second layer, making sure it's flattened down so you only have two layers overall, not three. The first layer shows the device with a blank screen and the second is identical except it has a spark on the circuitry. Change the attributes of the second layer, perhaps calling it 'Spark' and giving it a display time of (100ms) Remember the brackets, they're essential.
Select the first layer again in the Layers Window and duplicate it again. Drag the duplicate layer up to form a third layer and call it 'Gap (100ms)'
Duplicate the second layer and drag the duplicate up to make a fourth layer.
At this point, check what you've done:
Go to Filters > Animation > Playback. Hit the Play button and you should see your blank screen open for five seconds, a lightning flash will appear for 0.1 second, vanish for 0.1 second, reappear for 0.1 second, before the animation repeats.
The remainder of the animation process is the same - no need to bore you with repetition. Each time you want to add something else in, duplicate one of the previous images that is closest to what you need and copy in your additional material.
For example, your next step will be to duplicate the first frame, copy your screen map image onto the new layer (making the green bits transparent in the process), copy the transparent glass texture onto the same layer too, and time this to 100ms. This should give you your first flash of map image.
Duplicate the bottom layer again and change the timing to make the map flash off to a blank screen for 100ms, and keep building up your layer/frames until you have the sequence you want.
Playback frequently to catch any errors early.
Converting to Gif:
When you have your completed sequence, go to Filters > Animation > Optimise for Gif. Choose Gif animation.
When the optimisation process is complete, save as a Gif.
You should now have your animated Gif.
If you notice any errors in this tutorial or you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.
Happy Animation!

Even if the brand's owner, Hostess, carries through on its threats and goes into liquidation, one of the prime assets that'll go on the auction block will be the right to make Twinkies.

Interesting... I'll look for that guide.Just double checked and it says Mikcarb vm28. I think the jets I ordered are the size you recommend, so that's cool. There are 2 external adjusters. One thumbscrew which seems to only restrict how far the slide can go down, and a phillips screw which I assume is mixture. So to adjust for elevation, I need to adjust the phillips screw?I thought the filter had been moved because the toolbox appears to be designed to hold an air filter. The previous owner must have swapped that toolbox in then. Does anyone know of a free flowing filter that will fit into that rectangular box? I like the filter being in there (out of sight, plus I like the look of the box).
The air screw will only change the mixture at really low RPM (idle) when the pilot jet is active; the jet needle (size/position) and main jet are going to control mix as the venturi opens up. So there's no one-stop shop for adjusting across the board.Does the Mikarb vm28 also have an interchangeable needle jet? (The Mikarb vm24 does not, just main and pilot, and that's all I've used.)Ace, how do you feel about CV carbs in a performance application? I might experiement with one on my bike when I'm back in the US, since riding in the mountains is my favorite thing to do... Would probably be willing to sacrifice a tad of crispness at the throttle for a proper mix at all elevations. Any recommendations on one I might try to replace the standard Fireball 34mm flatslide?
For small changes in elevation, the pilot screw will help to correct starting and idling adjustments.However, for any larger elevation changes all the jets must be changed to keep correct mixture. Obviously, most people do not do this, and they simply run the bike rich at higher elevations, so that when they come back down to lower elevations, they are okay. As long as you don't bog down or foul plugs during the ride, I suppose that's acceptable. You are going to lose power at elevation anyway, and your compression will be lower, and your timing will be off too, so you just deal with it as best you can.At 10,000 feet, you'll be lucky to have half the power the bike is supposed to have.

Raining on Bart Ehrman's Easter parade
Religion | A group of biblical scholars respond to the anti-Christian author's latest attack on the divinity of Jesus
"Raining on Bart Ehrman's Easter parade" Continued...
Easter is no longer just a time for Christians to celebrate the Resurrection and non-Christians to celebrate Easter bunnies. It's also a time for anti-Christians to come out with highly publicized books attacking biblical accounts. Annually they debunk all the way to the bank. Bart Ehrman's How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee is one of this year's efforts.
Happily, New Testament scholar Michael Bird and some of his colleagues have risen to the challenge by rapidly producing a response, How God Became Jesus: The Real Origins of Belief in Jesus' Divine Nature—A Response to Bart D. Ehrman.
First we have Bird's overall critique of Ehrman's work, followed by, courtesy of Zondervan, excerpts from two chapters of this counter-Ehrman book, the first written by Bird and the second penned by another New Testament scholar, Simon Gathercole.
And be sure to listen to Warren Cole Smith's interview with Bart Ehrman, the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on this weekend's edition of Listening In, a production of WORLD Radio. —Marvin Olasky
Bart Ehrman, Jesus, and the message of Easter
By Michael F. Bird
Bart Ehrman is a former professed Christian who now writes one book after another trying to expose the alleged inaccuracies of the Christian Bible, or else tries to prove that what really happened was very different from traditionalist claims. His latest book, How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee, attempts to map how a Galilean peasant executed by the Romans eventually came to be worshipped as God by billions.
In his latest book, Ehrman argues that Jesus did not think He was God. He didn't rise from the dead, but His disciples thought He did, and on that basis they thought He was a human being who was made divine. (Ehrman distorts what the apostles believe: He claims Paul thought Jesus was an angel who became human, and John regarded Him as some pre-existent being incarnated as a man.) Eventually, Ehrman writes, the incrementally increasing veneration of Jesus by the early church led them to worship Him as God and they claimed that Jesus was equal in power and being to God the Father. So whereas Jesus proclaimed God, much later Jesus was proclaimed as God.
Thankfully, Ehrman is quite right on a good many things. For a start, he acknowledges that Jesus existed as an historical figure, which is a welcome change from some of the sensationalist claims the media often latches onto when someone with a conspiracy theory that Jesus was a mythical character finds a publisher willing to print his ideas. Ehrman also does a good job of charting some of the stories about gods who became human and humans who became gods in the ancient world. Likewise, he is able to identify many of the crucial factors and texts that require explaining, so that we may plot exactly how, when, and why Jesus came to be revered as a God. That said, I do not always find Ehrman's argument compelling or persuasive. I think things happened very differently than how he sees them transpiring. I don't think that Jesus became God, rather, I think God became Jesus!
In November last year, I was in Baltimore, Md., attending a biblical studies conference. Walking around the bookstalls, I noticed a huge poster advertising Ehrman's How Jesus Became God. I sighed, knowing that Ehrman was probably going to be rehearsing—albeit in his own unique way—a well-worn story that I have heard a dozen times before: Jesus was not God; He did not think He was God; the whole thing about Jesus being divine got made up later and only crystallized at the behest of the Roman Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325. As popular as that story about how Jesus became God has been in both scholarship and the popular press, it is has one fatal flaw: Namely, it is demonstrably false.
After seeing Ehrman's book advertised, I knew that my email inbox would be filling up with questions from people from all over the world asking about Ehrman's book and how to respond to it. This has happened to me before. In the past I've received emails from Christians in the Middle East who have been confronted by Muslim apologists who were using arguments from Ehrman's books to try to persuade them to leave Christianity and to convert to Islam. Given the topic and the conclusions that Ehrman reaches in his book about Jesus' divinity, I cannot help but think that—with a hint of irony—Muslim and Jehovah's Witnesses are going think that all their Christmases have come at once. Here is a former Christian debunking the idea that Jesus is God. You can't get better than that.
Knowing this was ahead of me, I continued walking around the book exhibits wondering if I should write a preemptive response. During my saunter I chanced upon several friends who I thought might be interested in joining me in such a project, and it turned out that they were. So I teamed up with four colleagues, including Craig Evans (Acadia Divinity College, Canada), Simon Gathercole (Cambridge University, UK), Chris Tilling (St. Mellitus College, UK), and Charles Hill (Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Fla.), all leading authorities in their own field, to come up with an immediate response to Ehrman. Thanks to the generosity of HarperOne, we read a pre-publication copy of Ehrman's manuscript over the Christmas break and then set to work to write up our own accounts about the when, where, how, and who of the origins of belief in Jesus as God.
Our book, How God Became Jesus: The Real Origin of Belief in Jesus' Divine Nature—A Response to Bart D. Ehrman, attempts to give a more authentic and historically accurate explanation of how belief about Jesus as a divine figure emerged in the early church. In brief, we contest Ehrman's description of ancient monotheism and its significance for emerging beliefs about Jesus, we object to his depiction of Jesus' self-understanding, we challenge his reconstruction of what happened to Jesus' body after his crucifixion, we strenuously contest his interpretation of what the apostle Paul and the Evangelists thought about Jesus, and we offer a competing narrative about the trajectory that belief in Jesus' divine nature took in the early church.
Sadly, Bart Ehrman has a huge following: He teaches packed courses at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he's a New York Times best-selling author, and he's always doing the rounds of the talk show circuits as the resident celebrity skeptic, delightfully reassuring secularists that the whole Christian thing is just a big mistake. In a recent interview on National Public Radio's Fresh Air, Ehrman was asked what he regards as the meaning of Easter. His response was that, as an agnostic, he believes Easter shows that there is still horrible injustice and oppression in the world and that we should wrestle against it. He added that the Easter story, while not historical, on some allegorical level is about God's "no" to political evil by raising Jesus from the dead.
I push back against Ehrman here, too. Easter isn't an allegory about good versus evil. Instead, the story of Jesus' death and resurrection is about the God's victory over sin, death, evil, and wickedness. In the cross of Jesus we see God crucified, Jesus our substitute taking our sins upon Himself, absorbing them like a cosmic sponge, cleansing us, and purchasing forgiveness for all men and women. In the Resurrection, we see the beginnings of a world born anew, testifying to the goodness of God's power and the power of God's goodness, hope rising from the ashes of grief and death. Still, that story only has power to shape our lives, to stimulate our imaginations for beauty, and to inspire us to courage against evil, if Jesus really is God incarnate. Only if Jesus is truly the Son of God can we believe Him at his word, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 ESV).
Ehrman's method: Erroneous manuscripts, historical criteria, and the historical Jesus
By Michael F. Bird
[Bart Ehrman] thinks that we cannot take the Gospels at face value as historically reliable accounts of the things Jesus said and did. Ehrman makes some broad and sweeping comments about the sources behind the Gospels and the nature of the Gospels as faith-documents that should render us historically suspicious of their accounts of Jesus. He does not think that the Gospels are useless as historical sources, but because they are more interested in proclaiming Jesus than with giving a true history of Jesus, we have to sift through the Gospels with the aid of various criteria to separate the fictions from the facts. A couple of comments are required here.
First, if the Gospels are not, in their basic outlines at least, somehow reliable, then we might as well stop wasting our time and go fishing. I like how Dale Allison puts it:
Either they [the Gospels] tend to preserve pre-Easter memories or they do not. In the former case, we have some possibility of getting somewhere. But in the latter case, our questing for Jesus is probably pointless and we should consider surrendering to ignorance. If the tradition is seriously misleading in its broad features, then we can hardly make much of its details.
Similar is Sean Freyne: "Either we accept that the early followers of Jesus had some interest in and memory of the historical figure of Jesus as they began to proclaim the good news about him, or we must abandon the process entirely." Approaches like Ehrman's, which begin by casting doubt on the historical value of the Gospels for reconstructing the life of Jesus, but then proceed to formulate a hypothesis about the historical Jesus anyway, are essentially creating a vacuum and then filling it with scholarly fiction.
Alternatively, I would advocate that the Gospels are generally reliable and coherent sources for studying the historical Jesus. As long as the early church knew the "Lord Jesus" to be the same as "the crucified one," the historical Jesus was always going to be properly basic for the church's faith. The things Jesus said and did pre-Easter mattered for what the church believed and said about him post-Easter.
That is not to deny that the Gospels are documents designed for proclamation, theologically loaded, and written to create faith. The Gospels are, then, the interpretation and application of the memory of Jesus for readers in the Greco-Roman world. A memory was carried by eyewitnesses and was put into the custody of corporate interest in the Jew from Nazareth. Thus, what the Gospels produce is not the transcript for CNN-style video footage of Jesus' career. A better analogy is that they offer a dramatic representation, much like a documentary drama, of Jesus' actions in the past and his voice for the present available through the corporate memory of Jesus. Consequently, the memory of Jesus deposited in the Gospels bequeaths to us both authenticity and artistry, fact and faith, history and hermeneutic. The objective of the Evangelists was not to write a life of Jesus to satisfy modernist demands for detail, nor was it to offer an image of Jesus that they pretty much made up to satisfy their own ideological bent. The Evangelists intended to narrate a story and evoke the significance of one called "Jesus," Israel's Messiah and the world's rightful Lord.
Second, Ehrman is dependent on the use of several "criteria" to establish the authenticity of stories about Jesus in the Gospels. Generally speaking, criteria of authenticity are useful as a way of trying to figure out which traditions in the Gospels go back to Jesus. I've used them myself at times, but like others I've become increasingly aware of their limitations and become convinced that they do not offer a path to an objective history of Jesus. For a start, trying to sort out the authentic traditions from the inauthentic traditions is not really that easy, for the simple fact that the history of Jesus has been thoroughly welded together with the early church's proclamation of Jesus at every point. Trying to separate the history from theology in the Gospels is a bit like trying to separate blue from red in the color purple. What is more, many of the criteria have been critically examined and found to be inadequate as a way of establishing the historical or unhistorical nature of any given unit in the Gospels. Dale Allison speaks with candor on this: "The older I become, the less I trust anyone's ability to answer this sort of question, to trace the history and origin of a particular saying. … It is not so easy to establish that any particular saying goes back to Jesus, and it is not so easy to establish that any particular saying does not go back to him."
For case in point, let's consider Ehrman's use of the "criterion of dissimilarity," which on his account dictates that a given unit in the Gospels is historically authentic if "it is dissimilar to what the early Christians would have wanted to say about him." This criterion is well-known and has received a devastating barrage of criticism to the point that I am, to be frank, at a loss as to why Ehrman continues to use it. It jumped the shark about the same time that the TV show Dawson's Creek did. In extreme cases some scholars looked for a double dissimilarity, whereby a tradition is authentic when it is dissimilar to both Judaism and to the early church. Ehrman wisely uses it in its less extreme form and only applies it to dissimilarity from the early church.
But even then it verges on the ludicrous. Think about it. A story about Jesus or as a saying attributed to Jesus is only historical if it does not sound anything like what the church was saying about Jesus. What historian would say that the historical Plato is different from what the platonic school said about Plato? Who would say that reliable information about the Teacher of Righteousness who founded a community by shores of the Dead Sea can only to be found when material attributed to him in the Dead Sea Scrolls sound nothing like the Dead Sea Scrolls? Who thinks that the real John Wesley can only be retrieved by searching for un-Wesleyan things that Wesleyans said about John Wesley? The criterion of dissimilarity posits a huge rupture between a movement founder and his or her subsequent movement that is simply absurd. You end up with a Jesus who said, thought, and did nothing that his earliest followers believed that he said, thought, and did. Jesus becomes a free-floating iconoclast artificially insulated from the movement that took its name from him, claimed to follow his teachings, and memorialized his deeds and actions.
No wonder, then, that the criterion of dissimilarity has been near universally abandoned and replaced with something far more credible, like a criterion of historical plausibility. We can regard a unit in the Gospels as claiming a high degree of historical authenticity when a saying or event attributed to Jesus makes sense within Judaism (i.e., plausible context) and also represents a starting point for the early church (i.e., a plausible consequence).
Rather than try to drain the theological dross from the historical silver in the Gospels through several fallible criteria, more recently scholars have been interested in the application of social memory research to the study of the historical Jesus. In other words, how did the things Jesus said and did create a memory in his followers, a memory that was faithfully transmitted, yet also refracted according to the theological framework that the early church was developing. In which case, we cannot hope to penetrate the impregnable bedrock of the church's interpretation and proclamation of Jesus found in the Gospels and discover a deeper layer of historically accurate data laid beneath. At the end of the day the best way to read the Gospels responsibly and historically is to narrate the story of Jesus in a way that has realism and explanatory power—a story that makes Jesus fit plausibly into his Jewish context, that brings all of the sources together, that explains the shape and direction of the early church, and that accounts for why and how the Gospels are what they are. Allison again puts it well:
As historians of the Jesus tradition we are storytellers. We can do no more than aspire to fashion a narrative that is more persuasive than competing narratives, one that satisfies our aesthetic and historical sensibilities because of its apparent ability to clarify more data in a more satisfactory fashion than its rivals.
Ehrman's entire approach to historical Jesus studies does not commend itself as a good way of doing history.

Jesus as divine in Matthew, Mark, and Luke?
By Simon Gathercole
Perhaps surprisingly, Ehrman would answer [the question, is Jesus divine in Matthew, Mark, and Luke?]: Yes! At the same time, however, it is important to recognize what he means: in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus occupies a certain position in the divine hierarchy or pyramid, but he is certainly not at the top. He is divine, but not in the sense that he shares in the identity of the one God of Israel. Briefly in this section I aim, first, to set out some of the ways in which Jesus in these three Gospels demonstrates or implies his divine identity. Then, second, I will discuss briefly (more detail can be found in the chapters in this volume by Mike Bird and Chris Tilling) why this divine identity cannot be seen as a lower-grade divine identity, because of the absolute distinction between God and creation presupposed in the religious environment of the earliest disciples.
There are a number of points at which Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke does look like he has the privileges of YHWH, God himself. I have described this evidence in more detail elsewhere, and so I will only give a brief sketch here. Strikingly, Jesus says and does things that not only overlap with what God in the Old Testament says and does. Jesus says and does things that are privileges uniquely of the God of Israel. When Jesus speaks and acts this way, responses—unsurprisingly—include worship on the one hand and accusations of blasphemy on the other.
One of the most remarkable statements is Jesus' authority to forgive sins, seen once in Matthew and Mark and twice in Luke (Mark 2:1–10 and parallels; also Luke 7:49). It is difficult to see this as merely something Jesus can do as a god low down in the divine pecking order because it is something—as the scribes in Mark 2 recognize—that is a prerogative uniquely of the one true God. This was something that no angel, prophet, or even nondivine Messiah, or any other figure, had the authority to do.
One of the best known facts about Jesus is that he chose twelve disciples, and scholars usually take this as Jesus forming the nucleus of a renewed people of God, with the twelve disciples representing the twelve tribes of Israel (Mark 3:13; Luke 6:13). This looks, therefore, as if Jesus is occupying the position of God in the Old Testament, and this is echoed in the fact that Jesus has the power of electing people to be saved elsewhere in the Gospels. This appears in the famous saying in Matthew and Luke, where Jesus states: "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Matt 11:27/Luke 10:22): Jesus chooses who can know the Father. The people of God in Mark can even be called "his [i.e., Jesus'] elect" (Mark 13:27/Matt 24:31): the people of God belong to Jesus. In the same verse, one of my coauthors in this book, Craig Evans, has drawn attention to what an extraordinary thing it is that Jesus refers to angels belonging to him as well (see also Matt 13:41; 25:31).
Other features of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, such as the sea miracles, Jesus' sending of prophets, his exercise of supernatural knowledge, his belonging in the divine triad Father-Son-Spirit (Matt 28:19), all imply that Jesus shares in the identity of the one true God of Israel.
This identity is reflected in the responses to Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. We have already mentioned the accusations of the scribes: "Why is he speaking in this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mark 2:7). This accusation resurfaces at the end of Mark's Gospel, when Jesus claims to share the authority of God in heaven. The high priest states: "What further witnesses do we need? You have heard the blasphemy!" ([Mark] 14:63–64).
On the more positive side, there are various kinds of reverence offered to Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Some of these exceed the bounds of esteem for a mere human being, and as we will soon see, such reverence cannot be regarded simply as worship of a second-tier god. This is especially apparent in Luke, because he considers it inappropriate to give reverential prostration to mere human beings. (Other authors may well use the term more liberally than Luke.) The Greek word for this reverential prostration is proskynēsis, a kind of technical term. This was the reverence that in 327 BCE, Alexander the Great imposed on his fellow Greeks as an obligation; some of them refused, denying him what amounted to formal worship as a god. Luke narrates a scene in Acts that is almost a mirror image of that, in which Cornelius bowed down to (proskynēsen) Peter, after which Peter said: "Stand up, for I too am a man" (Acts 10:25–26). So when the disciples offer proskynēsis to Jesus at the end of Luke's gospel, it is clearly worship due uniquely to God that is in view (Luke 24:52).
We can explore further this question of what kind of divine identity the events in Matthew, Mark, and Luke imply about Jesus. Ehrman repeatedly emphasizes the need to ask not just whether Jesus is seen as divine or not, but also in what sense he is divine. Chapter 1 of his book rightly emphasizes that deity in the wider Roman Empire was a rather flexible affair, and that in a few cases (although I think chapter 2 of How Jesus Became God exaggerates), some Jewish texts can have a degree of flexibility too. Matthew, Mark, and Luke, however, imply that the Jewish milieu, which Jesus inhabited, was one in which there was a strict God/creation divide. The scribes in Mark 2, for example, do not think that Jesus' forgiveness of sins was an interesting experiment in the degree to which a human being might participate in the divine realm, but accused Jesus of blasphemy, as one crossing the Creator/creature boundary and encroaching upon divine privileges; the same is true, as we have seen, in Mark 14.
New Testament authors frequently appeal to this boundary as important. Revelation emphasizes it, as is seen in the places where John, dazzled by the glory of the angels he encounters, bows down to them. They promptly rebuke him, because they are merely fellow servants of the true God, who alone is worthy of worship (Rev 19:10; 22:8–9). Hebrews 1 also draws a clear line between angels on the one hand, and God and Jesus on the other. A further point of importance is that in four separate places in the New Testament, we find almost formulaic statements that through Jesus all things were created (John 1:3; 1 Cor 8:6; Col 1:16; Heb 1:2). There is a clear line between Creator and creature, and Jesus stands on the Creator's side of that line.
But there is a prime witness who needs to be called at this point—Paul. Not so much Paul the apostle, but Saul the Pharisee. It is notable that in Paul's writings there is an absolutely rigid and inflexible boundary between God the Creator and the created cosmos, a divide that is fundamental to his theology. At various points Paul contrasts God and creation and emphasizes that "from him and through him and for him are all things" (Rom 11:36). But the key statement comes in his condemnation of idolatry in Romans 1. What is fundamentally wrong with idolatry? The answer is that it is worship of the creation rather than its Creator: "they exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised" (Rom 1:25).
Why is Paul such a key witness? The answer is that he was active as a Pharisee just around the time of Jesus' ministry and its immediate aftermath, at the beginning of the "tunnel period" when Ehrman sees so much crucial development. Scholars generally agree, I think rightly, that the basic Creator/creation distinction was not a radically new thought for Paul at his conversion. His ideas about idolatry and its basis expressed in Rom 1:25 are almost certainly views he held earlier. Such a view reflects the milieu in which Jesus and the earliest disciples after the first Easter were active. We see this expressed in the response of the scribes and the high priest to Jesus in Mark's Gospel, as well as in the view of Saul of Tarsus.
The implications of this are significant for how we regard the divine identity of Jesus. It implies that when Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke says and does things that in the Old Testament are divine prerogatives, it can only be because he shares in the identity of the God of Israel.

Anxiety Worsens Hot Flashes
Medical Author: Melissa Stoppler, M.D.
Controlling lifestyle stress and anxiety may help reduce the number and severity of hot flashes associated with menopause, according to doctors at the University of Pennsylvania.
Hot flashes are perhaps the most troublesome symptom associated with approaching menopause and are experienced by a majority of women during the transition to menopause. Menopause - the ending of menstruation - is defined as having 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period and occurs at an average age of 51.
Researchers studied over 400 Caucasian and African American women between 37 and 47 years of age who still had regular menstrual cycles. The women took tests that measured their anxiety levels at the start of the study and again following a six-year period. After six years, many of the women were experiencing hot flashes and irregular menstrual periods, two signs of approaching menopause. The women's anxiety scores were directly correlated with the severity and frequency of hot flashes, even when factors such as blood estrogen levels, cigarette smoking, and stage of menopause were taken into account. Those women with the highest anxiety levels reported almost five times as many hot flashes as less-anxious women, and women with moderate anxiety had hot flashes three times as often as those with normal levels of anxiety.
