Patchy low level cloud about the coast and ranges in Tasmania, Victoria and inland New South Wales is due to a cool southwesterly airstream. Likewise, a strong southerly onshore flow has brought low cloud over much of coastal and inland southern and southwest WA. A cold front moving across the Great Australian Bight is producing a middle level cloud band and thunderstorms near South Australia's coast. Patchy remnants of this cloud band extends north along a pre-frontal trough near Coober Pedy and is also generating isolated thunderstorms. Middle to high level cloud with embedded thunderstorms can be seen near Giles and is associated with an upper level disturbance. Further west, a jetstream is pulling high cloud from over the Indian Ocean towards the west coast of WA. In the north, a field of cumuliform cloud has developed as a result of the afternoon heat and low level moisture.

I didn't find any info about installation of zimbra on Debian 7.
I have chcecked if it's possible, and here is my info based on history.
Finnally I have stayed on Ubuntu 12.04.
The trick was to get libgmp3c2 form squeeze, and only new libc6-dev form testing (without updating the rest) <- this may be changing since packet versions are updating
Ig I have used "to new" packets, I have faced some perl installation issue.

|Lady Dragons lose to Rams in overtime basketball game
|Written by Sharlene Hart
Lady Dragon basketball faced a disappointing 47-45 overtime loss to Akron Tuesday night, Dec. 16.
"This was a tough loss for our team," said coach Arlan Scholl. "The girls played hard and just couldn't get the win."
The girls will be off for several weeks for the holiday break with action to resume Jan. 9.
Holyoke 45, Akron 47
Tuesday night's game was a close match-up. While the score was tied at 10-all after one quarter of play, the Rams came on strong in the second to take a 22-14 halftime advantage.
The Lady Dragons only picked up four points in the second period, and Akron managed 12. Four Lady Rams made trips to the charity stripe in that quarter, where they scored on six of the 11 attempts. With three more two-point baskets, they jumped ahead of the Dragons by eight points.
Holyoke battled back in the second half, outscoring the visitors 23-19 to knot the score at 37-37 at the end of regulation play.
The Lady Dragons were on fire as the overtime period started. Akron got the tip, but Marissa Smith made a quick steal to move in to score on a lay-up.
Akron turned the ball over on their end of the court, and Maddie Starkebaum took it in to score for a four-point Dragon lead.
The Rams hit two, followed by a two-pointer from Phawn Carper halfway through the three-minute overtime.
Akron came within one on a three-point basket, Smith added two for Holyoke, then the Rams sank another three-pointer to suddenly make it a 45-45 tie ball game. Approximately 70 seconds remained.
With 40 seconds on the clock, the Rams took the lead for the first time in the overtime. Their 47-45 advantage ended up as the final score for a tremendously disappointing loss for the Lady Dragons.
Leading the Dragon scoring was Starkebaum with 14 points on six two-pointers and two free throws. Also scoring in double digits was Katie Hoffner with 11, and Carper added nine.
Hoffner made five of her six free-throw attempts, while Carper sank three of four.
Holyoke outrebounded Akron 35-29, led by Nora Roth with eight, Starkebaum seven and Carper six. Starkebaum also had four steals in the game.
The local girls had an overall better field goal percentage, making 17-51 for 33 percent, compared to Akron's 15-52 for 29 percent. However, the Rams were 40 percent from three-point range, sinking six from behind the arc.
Both teams made 11 free throws. Holyoke was 11-21 for 52 percent, and Akron was 11-18 for 61 percent.
"We came out and dominated in overtime, but our poor free-thow shooting thoughout the game was a big factor in not bringing home the victory," said coach Scholl after the game.
The game could have gone either way as it was a tough fight on Holyoke's part. Coach Scholl noted, "We are continuing to work hard as coaches and players to improve in our weak areas and get back in the winning column."
Holyoke 45, Akron 47
Smith 2 0 1-4 3 5
Hoffner 3 0 5-6 4 11

|Dragons place second at District 2 tournament
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
For the third time this season, Holyoke was unable to top the accurate-shooting of the Akron Rams, losing in the District 2 championship game Saturday, March 1 in Sterling.
Dragon basketball players could not have asked for a better start to the game, knocking down five shots from beyond the arc in the first quarter alone. Logan Tharp was the go-to scorer, hitting three 3-pointers en route to a 13 point quarter.
The third-ranked Holyoke team finished the first period with a 21-12 lead over the No. 1 Akron squad.
"The kids were really ready to go and focused," coach Scott Dille said.
Once Tharp picked up his second foul late in the first quarter and Akron switched from a zone defense to man-to-man, the Dragon offense went cold. With Tharp on the bench, the Rams quickly dismantled the Holyoke lead.
During a three-minute stretch in the second quarter, Akron outscored Holyoke 13-0 to take the lead. HHS did not lead for the rest of the match.
Dille stated that he believed the team's mentality was the biggest obstacle they faced in the game.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Charmin is providing some toilet paper relief on behalf of one of Ohio's newest million-dollar lottery winners.
Regina Jackson has vivid memories of the aid received from Reach Out Lakota when she was out of work for seven months in 2008. The nonprofit organization provides food, clothing and other necessities to the needy in Butler County in southwest Ohio.
Jackson recalled after her recent lottery win having to ration toilet paper — only two rolls a month. So she wanted to donate cash to the nonprofit for toilet paper.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/WdfHAg ) that Procter & Gamble Co. executives saw her comments and will donate 5,000 Charmin rolls. Reach Out Lakota gave out 5,500 rolls last year. That mean's Jackson's $5,000 donation will go to food and clothing instead.

MOUNDSVILLE - Snow, ice and slush contributed to a series of traffic accidents across the Upper Ohio Valley on Monday, including the rollover of a 40-ton propane tanker truck on W.Va. 88.
The truck, hauling non-odorized propane, crashed at Pine Hill Road between U.S. 250 and W.Va. 86 in the Limestone/Sherrard area of Marshall County on Monday afternoon, striking a nearby structure. The driver was injured and taken to Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling, according to emergency management Director Tom Hart. Sherrard Volunteer Fire Department, Limestone VFD/EMS, Marshall County Sheriff's Department, West Virginia State Police, the West Virginia Division of Highways and Marshall County Office of Emergency Management responded. The accident closed the road for about four hours.
"The deputies who responded think the truck's tires may have dropped off the road, or it may have taken the turn too wide. We're not really sure at this time," said Marshall County Chief Deputy Bill Helms. He said the truck's back end apparently struck a building along the road.

A 40-ton truck hauling propane on W.Va. 88 crashed at Pine Hill Road around 2 p.m. Monday.
"We don't believe there's any serious damage to the building at this time," Helms added, noting he did not believe the person inside the building was injured in the accident.
Helms said the propane being transported was not odorized, which he said means that it was not treated with chemicals to make it identifiable by smell. The truck did not appear to be leaking, but another propane truck arrived on the scene to transfer the propane to its tank.
Meanwhile, the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a single-vehicle accident on Interstate 70 just east of Morristown about 3 p.m. Monday. A witness said the driver of a sport utility vehicle lost control while changing lanes and traveled off the roadway. After striking the guardrail, the vehicle overturned onto its driver's side in the muddy area just off the roadway.
Ambulances from the Belmont and Bethesda VFDs responded, but officials at the scene said no serious injuries were reported.
A dispatcher at the St. Clairsville patrol post said troopers there handled eight weather-related accidents Monday.
Nearly 30 accidents were reported, but many of them turned out to be disabled vehicles rather than actual accidents, he said.
An official with the Belmont County Sheriff's Department said the county was under a Level 2 snow emergency Monday evening, which means roads were hazardous with blowing and drifting snow.
Workers were urged to contact their employers to see if they were required to report to work and to travel only if they felt it was necessary.
Emergency Management Director Lou Vargo said the only significant weather-related crash he was aware of in Ohio County took place in the Park View Lane area of Wheeling. Two people were injured in that crash.

News Britain declassifies KGB files relevant to Prague Spring events
The British authorities have declassified part of a large collection of KGB files smuggled out of Russia in 1992 by senior KGB official Vasili Mitrokhin, the AP news agency reported on Monday. The so-called "Mitrokhin archive" is considered to be the biggest and most significant collection of documents relating to the work of the KGB and its agents. Among others, the files list undercover agents sent to Czechoslovakia to infiltrate the dissidents behind the 1968 Prague Spring pro-democracy movement. The declassified files can be viewed at Cambridge University.

Czech president says Beijing, Moscow trips a success, says visits should target countries with presidential regimes
Czech head of state, president Miloš Zeman, defended his decision to visit China and Russia last year for commemorations of the end of WWII. Zeman said the EU had recommended that visits to China by EU heads of state not be made. He said the visits to both countries were aimed at maintaining links and said he regarded them as successful. Zeman called again in relation to Russia for sanctions against the country to be dropped as soon as possible. Zeman, speaking at a conference in Prague entitled "The Czech Republic is not for everyone," said presidential visits should be made in preference to countries with presidential regimes because that ensured a greater effect. In spite of the conference's title, Zeman referred only in passing to immigration issues.
Bus drivers warn of escalating action over minimum wages
Bus drivers have warned they will be starting an escalated series of industrial action over claims for minimum wages including extended strikes. Drivers on public service routes say they warned of action six months ago but negotiations since have not got anywhere. Many of the drivers, now on wages of around 70-80 crowns an hour, say the government should set a 100 crown an hour minimum wage. They say wages are being undermined by public tenders for operating bus routes in which the bus company making the lowest bid and often offering worst conditions to drivers often land the contract.
Visegrad Four defense minister propose contingent for Baltic states for 2017
Ministers of defense of the Visegrad Four countries meeting outside Prague have agreed to propose the dispatching of an army contingent to the Baltic states in 2017. The proposal will be formally made at the Warsaw Summit of NATO countries in July. The Baltic states have called for a reinforced NATO presence in their countries. The contingent could be rotated between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary. Details are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks ahead of the summit.
Coalition sparks fly after lower house vote defeats smoking ban in restaurants
Lawmakers in the lower house of parliament failed to back a blanket ban on smoking in restaurants on Wednesday. The move, promoted by minister of health Svatopluk Němeček, failed to win sufficient support even after the minister offered to make some concessions. The vote means that the Czech Republic remains a bastion of smoking in Europe. Government parties failed to give the proposed ban sufficient support with the ANO party splitting three ways in the vote much to the anger of coalition partners the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats.
ANO party continues to top election polls with sizeable lead over Social Democrats
The ANO party of leader and finance minister Andrej Babiš continues to head the preferences according to the latest poll by the STEM agency released on Wednesday. It gives ANO 27.1 percent of support compared with the second-placed Social Democrats with 20.1 percent. The communists bolstered their position in third place with 14.5 percent of support. Another three parties would make into parliament according to the poll, the centre-right TOP 09 party, Civic Democrats, and Christian Democrats, all with around 7.0 percent support. ANO would on the basis of the poll win 72 seats in the 200-seat lower house.
Jiří Rusnok appointed as next governor of Czech National Bank
Czech President Miloš Zeman appointed former caretaker prime minister and minister of finance Jiří Rusnok as the next governor of the Czech National Bank. Rusnok, already a member of the central bank board, will take over from Miroslav Singer whose mandate officially ends in June. Zeman highlighted the policy differences with Rusnok over the current low crown policy but pointed out that he had been appointed for his expert and practical public and professional experience. Zeman has called for an ending of the low crown policy as soon as possible while the central bank sees it continuing until at least mid-2017.
Police detain Klinika activists following renewed clashes over social centre
Police detained 16 activists from the Klinika social centre in Prague on Tuesday night after they refused to quit the centre. Police returned to the former clinic reoccupied by activists who have turned it into a social centre after a bomb alert. A similar alert sparked clashes between the police and activists on Friday. Police then turned the empty buildings formerly used as a clinic over to the state authority which owns them but activists later returned with the intention of reopening the centre.

A Norwegian court on Wednesday started proceedings regarding the appeal of Czech mother Eva Michaláková against the removal of her parental rights and moves to put one of her two sons up for adoption. The fate of her 10 and eight year old sons has become a major media and political issue in the Czech Republic with past interventions by head of state Miloš Zeman and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two children were taken into care by Norwegian social services five years ago following suspicions of abuse. Michaláková is seeking to get her sons returned. The court hearing is expected to last until Friday.
Interpol interested in Czech system tracking criminals' drug compression techniques
Interpol are interested in using a unique database created by Czech police that compares methods of wrapping illegal drugs with similar cases around the world, iDnes.cz reported on Wednesday. The system, named Reliéf, tracks the impressions made by machines compressing drugs into small packages, helping investigators to detect what mafia groups are behind particular cases of smuggling, the news website said.
CT: Interior Ministry to set up team to monitor foreign propaganda
The Ministry of the Interior is to set up a special team to monitor foreign propaganda, Czech Television reported on Wednesday. The group, comprising around 30 people, will be tasked with curbing the influence of Russia and other states on media and social networks in the Czech Republic. Interior Minister Milan Chovanec told the broadcaster that it was necessary to react to such propaganda and to at least be aware of what direction such activities were taking.

Valencia, Spain (Sports Network) - Former world No. 1 and former French
Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero played his final match on the ATP World Tour
on Tuesday.
The wild card Ferrero lost to sixth-seeded fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in
7-5, 6-3 fashion on the hardcourts at the City of the Arts and Sciences at
the Valencia Open. Ferrero bowed out for a last time in 1 hour, 41 minutes on
Day 3.
Almagro is a two-time Valencia champion (2006-07), while Ferrero captured this
event back in 2003.
The 32-year-old Ferrero, who had been plagued by injuries the last two
seasons, announced last month that Valencia would be his final event on the
Nicknamed "The Mosquito," Ferrero appeared in 34 career finals, capturing 16
titles. He reached the top of the rankings in September of 2003.
The 15-year-pro appeared in three Grand Slam finals, including his lone
victory at the 2003 French Open. He was also a 2002 French Open runner-up and
lost to Andy Roddick, who retired last month, in the 2003 U.S. Open finale.
Ferrero earned just under $14 million in career prize money and helped Spain
capture its first Davis Cup title in 2000.

Turning Syria inside out
Middle East | With foreign fighters invading the rebellion, millions of Syrians fleeing civil war, and a brutal president determined to hang on, good guys and workable solutions are disappearing in a country no longer itself
"Turning Syria inside out" Continued...
In northeast Syria the grass rises high, lush, and vivid green as spring turns to summer. The fertile valley of Hasaka province, nursed by the Khabur River and wedged between borders with Turkey and Iraq, grows most of Syria's wheat, rice, vegetables, and even cotton. Neighbors are so close, and both borders so historically fraught, they hover like unwelcome shadows.
But this is northern Mesopotamia, once a stronghold of churches and Christian centers of learning among the oldest anywhere. From here came the oldest Syriac liturgies still in use. From here went the earliest missionaries, carrying Christianity to central Asia, India, and China.
Hasaka province is also home to some of the oldest cities in the world—marked now by excavations of vast tells with names in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus. Christians preceded the Arabs, Turkmen, and Kurds in the province, and for centuries the groups have lived alongside one another. More recently, starting in the 1950s, discoveries of petroleum reserves made Hasaka strategically important, home to Syria's small but lucrative oil industry.
Resource-rich and demographically diverse, Hasaka this year has become a pivotal battleground in Syria's two-year-old civil war. Rebels since February have taken over significant portions of the province—including oilfields essential to the survival of the regime led by President Bashar al-Assad.
As they've done so they are demonstrating the problems for the United States in funding the opponents of Assad: Just which ones?
Armed fighters who began in 2011 as the Free Syrian Army have fractured into dozens of militant groups. They include the Farouq Brigades, a jihadist group of defectors from the Syrian Army that emerged from the historically Christian city of Homs early in the fighting. And jihadist forces from outside Syria have grown:
• Two Saudi-backed groups under variations of the name Jabhat al-Tahrir al-Souriya al-Islamiya mount a force estimated at 40,000.
• A third group of about 15,000 named Ahfad al-Rasoul is supported by Qatar.
• Perhaps the most dangerous, the al-Nusra Front, draws support from al-Qaeda in Iraq and has been designated by the U.S. State Department a foreign terrorist organization (meaning it's capable of exporting terror to Western targets). These aim to put in place an Islamic jihadist state following an anticipated overthrow of Assad.
As bloody battles and Islamic stridency unfold in the northeastern cities of Hasaka, Christian churches and homes are targets. In the town of Ras al-Ayn fighters burned homes and destroyed churches in March. Al Nusra set up Sharia councils to carry out extremist Islamic laws. Christian families now regularly receive threat letters warning them to leave or be killed. The result: Religious cleansing that threatens to empty longstanding Christian villages. Hasaka church officials say the province had at least 300,000 Christians less than a year ago and now has less than 180,000.
Hasaka province, then, is a snapshot of the vicious devolution of what began in 2011 as one of the more peaceful and organized "Arab Spring" uprisings. It also illustrates the complex questions facing U.S. and other Western leaders under increasing pressure to do something to diffuse the chaotic fighting that has displaced an estimated 5 million Syrians—nearly a quarter of the population—according to the latest UN figures.
It's increasingly difficult to determine who—if anyone—deserves Western support. Yet Western intervention to many seems inevitable, with over 70,000 killed, mostly civilians, and threats growing of loosed chemical weapons and a wider war in the Middle East.
Like Hasaka province itself, the prospects of a future under either Islamist rebels or the government with its cruel authoritarianism hem in Syrians from both sides.
Bassam Ishak is well versed in what it's like in Hasaka to run out of options. When he was 11 years old the government confiscated all the land owned by his Syriac Christian family—over 1,200 acres in Hasaka province. Overnight his father lost his business and all his possessions: "We had to move to a new town, change our home and schools, and borrow money to survive."
Now 52, Ishak remembers taunts and threats to his family from the newly ruling Ba'ath Party. For 22 years his father Said Ishak was a member of Parliament, widely known as a devout Christian and as an opponent of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party—even before it seized power in 1963 and Hafez al-Assad took charge in 1970. The father of the current president began nationalizing property, targeting and imprisoning political opponents.
The family survived for a time in Damascus but emigrated to the United States in 1981. "In Syria if you choose opposition you either go to jail or you leave the country," Ishak told me.
In America Ishak worked as a civil engineer. He and his wife had three children and became active in the Washington, D.C.–area Church of the Apostles, an evangelical Anglican congregation. But the desire to see a pluralistic democracy in Syria ran deep: When Hafez al-Assad died and his son Bashar became president in 2000, Ishak sensed an opportunity for a new era. He returned to Damascus, opened a Christian bookstore on Straight Street in Damascus' Old City (and later one in Hasaka) and became an outspoken advocate for minority rights and greater freedom. He became director of the Syrian Human Rights Organization and joined the Syriac Unity Party, formed largely to protect the rights (and land) of the country's ancient Christian population.
At the time observers viewed the younger Assad, then 34, as mild-mannered, studious, and open to reform. Few realized the young president—groomed for over six years by his father—would prove as ruthless a dictator. Already, the Assad regime in 2000 was the longest-lasting in the post-World War II Middle East.
Hafez al-Assad survived by crushing opponents and holding fast to an alliance with the Soviet Union. But his was a secular regime that involved minorities and came down hard on Muslim extremists. A 1983 massacre by Assad's army of Sunnis in the city of Hama left an estimated 25,000 dead, mostly civilians. Intentionally, Assad left behind crushed buildings and bodies buried under layers of concrete—along with thousands of homeless—to remind the rest of the country of the destruction destined for anyone he considered opponents. The Assad creed: "Fight a hundred wars, demolish a million strongholds, and sacrifice a million martyrs" to consolidate power.
Thirty years later that creed is playing itself out in an unrelenting civil war. It began with a brutal crackdown on street demonstrations in early 2011, with Assad forces using teargas and firing on demonstrators from helicopter gunships. By July the Free Syrian Army formed under defected Assad commanders, and by August the leading political opposition met in Turkey to form the Syrian National Council (SNC).
Bassam Ishak was one of the SNC founders. He now admits to naïvely advocating a negotiated transition to democracy—but learned Assad "has no real political tools … only force."
Ishak lived under surveillance and a travel ban, along with several hundred human rights activists, for five years. State security suddenly lifted the ban in 2011 under so-called "reforms" in the early days of the uprising. But then Ishak received threatening phone calls, essentially ordering him to leave the country. Did you fear for your life? I asked. "No, I feared for my freedom," Ishak said.
He fled Damascus in September 2011, traveling only with a briefcase containing his laptop, and leaving behind his family. He lives in a neighboring country he does not want disclosed and "travels around a lot," he told me.
An insider to a civil war overtaken by outsiders, Ishak has a growing concern over Islamist groups in Syria. During early Assad years, he said, under the name of land reform many Christians lost their land to Muslims. Today, he said, "the revolution is treating us no better as gangs targeting Christians with kidnappings and ransoms have forced the Christians to run out of the country."
Still a member of the SNC, he is reluctant to support its umbrella group formed last year (with tacit U.S. support) called the Syrian National Coalition. It represents all opposition groups and has won recognition as the legitimate power in Syria from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and others.
"They are not home to us," Ishak said. The Coalition seeks to marginalize Syria's Christians (who number more than 1.5 million), he believes, and "doesn't have legitimacy with Syrian people but with countries outside."
Six months ago Ishak became president of the Syriac National Council, a new organization representing Christians in Syria and among the diaspora in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere: "We want a new Syria that's tolerant of pluralism, based on rule of law, with all identities respected equally. And we want the historic land of Christianity to keep its land."
The Syriac National Council represents a break by minorities from the jihadist-leading Coalition. Its members are seeking recognition of their own. In April Ishak and other Council leaders met in Washington with lawmakers and officials at the State Department. Now that the U.S. government has committed to humanitarian aid to rebel groups, the Syriacs are requesting aid for Syriac Christians along with a security force and provision for Christian medical facilities and charities.
At the same time, the Syriac group opposes special asylum status for Syrian Christians to take refuge in the United States or elsewhere. Ishak believes the push to allow Christians to leave Syria is part of the Islamist groups' religious cleansing agenda. "Our ancestors have lived there for thousands of years. This is a new form of invasion to us," he said.
Granting a higher profile to Christian and other minority groups, the United States could find common ground with an otherwise foe on Syria: Russia.
Russian Orthodox Church leaders are pressing Moscow to do more to support Syria's Christians, according to Lauren Homer, who heads an international law firm in Washington with extensive work on religious liberty cases in Russia and the Middle East.
Agreement on protecting minorities can be the start of a political solution, said Homer, and U.S. officials indicated it was a point of discussion in Secretary of State John Kerry's May visit to Moscow.
For now, a negotiated political solution is opposed by many in Congress and by analysts who call for a "military transition government." But any military solution, or military aid, is likely to involve Saudi-backed and other jihadist groups.
"We made huge strategic mistakes by allowing Islamist groups to be set up in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Homer. "If that happens in Syria it will become an Islamic state. Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel will have myriad new problems, if they can continue to exist."
And Syria's Christians, and their heritage, also will be threatened with extinction.

The other side
Many Christians prefer Assad-led stability to rebel chaos
Not all Syrian Christians believe, as Bassam Ishak does, in engaging the political process to oppose President Bashar al-Assad. Behind the brutality of Assad's regime and his father Hafez, Christians found a level of freedom and protection. Assad himself is a minority, an Alawite, and has cracked down on Islamic extremists who persecute Christians elsewhere in the Middle East.
Many Christians also don't believe loyal Syrians in the opposition who want democracy can prevail against outside jihadist factions. "Politically the rebels and regime opponents want good for average Syrians," said one Christian in Aleppo, not named for security reasons. "Practically and logically, if you want something good for your family or relatives, you should first show it and practice it, not come with guns and rockets to say that you love me and are interested for my good life and future."
Christians stand to suffer inordinately among Syria's many ethnic and religious groups, with untallied deaths and displacements of up to half the population in Hasaka province and elsewhere, and particularly in Aleppo, Syria's largest city.
Many Christian leaders have been kidnapped, mostly by rebels, and a leading Greek Orthodox priest was killed outside Damascus (while trying to secure the release of a kidnap victim).
In April two leading clergymen in Aleppo–Greek Orthodox archbishop Boulos Yazigi and Syrian Orthodox archbishop Yohanna Ibrahim—were kidnapped and are still believed held by rebels. They were on a mission to gain the release of other Christians also captured by rebela. Christians find themselves "in a very unique and frightening" situation, said Aidan Clay, Middle East analyst for International Christian Concern, when they don't openly support either rebel groups or the Assad regime.
"While many Christians have publicly denounced the brutality of President Assad and by no means support the regime, most Christians see little hope in an alternative government which, they fear, will be led by Islamists," Clay said.
In Aleppo—with nearly a quarter of its population Christian—rebel forces have particularly targeted Christian enclaves. Those areas for months have been without electricity, telephone and other services. Hospitals mostly run by Christians in the city have been shelled. Regular mortar fire continued into May—damaging Christian homes, killing dozens, including Christians who came to Aleppo after losing their homes to rebels fighting in surrounding villages.
Despite the dangers, Christians in 11 cities, including Aleppo, Damascus, and in Hasaka, gathered on May 11 for a special day of prayer. Turnout was significant, despite thunderstorms and rocket fire that preceded the services—and for the first time brought together believers across many denominations.
"I am not sure how long those 'good guys' [opposition groups] will keep dealing with the American regime. I am sure one day the Lord will hear our voices and prayers," said the Aleppo resident. —M.B.
Syria's humanitarian crisis and the aid groups helping
The number of Syrians who have fled their homes seeking safety elsewhere is reaching nearly a quarter of the country's population. More than 5 million are displaced, reported UN emergency relief coordinator Valerie Amos in May. In some areas—including many neighborhoods in the largest city, Aleppo—more Syrians have left than remain behind.
The UN estimates 1.3 million have sought refuge in other countries, and as many as 4 million have been forcibly relocated inside the country. Reports abound of Syrian families, particularly in Hasaka province and other areas of the north, leaving villages under attack by jihadist militants for "safety" in larger towns—only to be victims of rocket and mortar attacks there, as fighting grows between government and rebel forces.
Delivering aid within the country is very risky business. Between Damascus and Aleppo (a distance of about 190 miles) are 50 checkpoints, according to Amos: "We can't do business this way."
Outside the country, Turkey has set up 17 camps for refugees along its border with Syria (at a cost of $700 million). Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq all have established refugee camps where the UN is registering arriving refugees and some aid groups have programs to assist them. Groups working in the camps and in other ways to aid Syrians include:
- Barnabas Fund
- Christian Solidarity International-USA
- Mercy Corps
- Medair
- International Rescue Committee
- Doctors Without Borders (also known as Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF)
- Save the Children
- World Vision
- World Relief
- World Help
These organizations' websites provide detailed information on their work with Syrians. The UN news outlet Irin News and UNICEF also post regular updates helpful to those who want to help. But Amos pointed out the biggest necessity: "What we need is an end to the violence." —M.B, with reporting by Amy Derrick

Standing tall over the Austrian town of Innsbruck, surrounded by the snow-capped Tyrolean mountains, the iconic Bergisel Stadium has become a symbol of legacy.
The ski jumping venue hosted two Opening Ceremonies for the Olympic Winter Games (1964 and 1976) and in 2012 played its part again, welcoming athletes and fans alike to the first Winter Youth Olympic Games.
But it is not only the Bergisel Stadium that remains a reminder of Innsbruck's strong Olympic heritage. Patscherkofel (Alpine skiing), the Olympic ice stadium (ice hockey and ice skating) and Seefeld (cross-country skiing) all made their Olympic comeback some 38 years after their Olympic debuts in 1964 hosting sporting competitions during the Youth Olympic Games.
As a direct result of hosting such legendary Games, Innsbruck has become recognised and revered for its world class sporting venues, with fans coming out in their thousands to cheer on their favourite athletes in competitions hosted throughout the winter season. The YOG added to this reputation with the addition of Kuhtai, one of Europe's largest freestyle ski and snowboard parks.
The YOG also contributed to Innsbruck's Olympic legacy through the optimisation of its carbon neutral Youth Olympic Village to benefit the whole community of Innsbruck. Just three months after the Games the Village was handed over to 444 families on low incomes who needed affordable homes.
But one thing all three Games left behind was a new generation inspired by the sporting achievements and Olympic values demonstrated by the athletes and city proudly living up to its name as the 'Heart of the Alps'.

The cold and wet weather has finally settled over the peninsula, and Capetonians have bedded down for their annual hibernation. In summer, the days are gloriously long, and families eat dinner after eight, children stay up til after nine – because the sun hasn't set yet.
But come winter, with its short, wet and cold days, and the town catches up on its zzzz's. Dinner by 6.30pm, in bed before eight, and the drive to school in the morning is in the dark. Seaside towns are always dreary in the rain.
But for those few hours of daylight, finding fun when it is pouring outside heads the list of important things to do in my family. Top draw is the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront – and it never gets tired.
First stop has always got to be the giant spider crabs, where we spend ages trying to spy the faces of the samurai warriors on their bellies.
Legend tells of a great Japanese sea battle, in which a young emperor, seeing that his army was defeated, threw himself into the water with his samurai warriors. The emperor and his soldiers turned into crabs and have been wandering the floor of the ocean ever since.
Spider crabs are the largest crustaceans in the world; males grow to about 1m in length with a 4m leg stretch. They live about 400m under water that is pretty cool – between 11°C and 14°C. Very little is known about giant spider crabs. It is virtually impossible to determine their age and we do not know when they reach sexual maturity. They have to moult when they grow, shuffling off their old exo-skeletons. This is a complicated and potentially life-threatening process which can take up to two days. A crab can become entrapped in its old shell and die, but even if the moult is successful, the sheer effort is sometimes so exhausting, that the crab dies soon afterwards.
Other favourite stops are the touch and feel tidal pools and the microscope displays. But really, the highlight every time is the penguins – they are irresistible, waddling around in their tuxedos. Check when you arrive to make sure you get there for feeding time. You'll be glad you did.
And if you're game, you can even go scuba diving with the ragged tooth sharks – without a cage.
After strolling around the aquarium, we highly recommend the short trip to the V&A Market on the Wharf. There's a whole world of food on offer, from Hungarian street food to fried chicken, vegetarian curries to cakes and muffins, really good coffee to freshly juiced fruit and veggie drinks. It's open every day except Christmas and New Year's, meaning you can always get something delicious to eat.
Outside the market – for that gap in the rain when fresh air is needed – is Nobel Square. Four larger-than-life bronzed statues stand in a row, all of them South African Nobel Peace Prize laureates: Albert Luthuli, Desmond Tutu, FW de Klerk and Nelson Mandela. Home happy and tired; job done.

The Book Lounge in Roeland Street is a favourite haunt of Cape Town's literati. Besides selling some of the more interesting books and better novels, it hosts weekly storytelling sessions for the young 'uns and fabulous book launches.
And so it came to pass that one sunny evening in the dying days of summer, a motley crew gathered among the books, after quaffing wine and snacking on delicious canapés in the basement. In front of us sat writer Helen Walne, serene and shining, talking about one of the last great taboos: suicide.
Walne's book, The Diving, is a wrenching, sometimes brutal, often funny, always beautiful memoire of her brother's suicide. Richard Walne was a musician, singer, songwriter and poet. He was highly regarded – so much so that in Durban, a street has been renamed after him. You can now saunter down Richard Walne Road, next to Maydon Wharf Channel. It used to be called Canal Road, and it has a length of 0.8 kilometres.
But at the age of 39, Richard walked into the cold Cape Town sea one day and did not return. Suicide always brings endless questions, heartbreak and guilt: why did he do it? Was I not enough to make him want to live? Did I not do enough to save him?
Being a writer, after Richard died, Helen, who is a friend and colleague of mine, says she "went to the literature" – but came up empty-handed. There were no books to explain it; just as no one talked about suicide, no one wrote about it – from a personal perspective – either. Suicide is not supposed to happen. Our desire to live is supposed to trump the urge to top ourselves. It is so slippery a topic, so difficult to comprehend, that religions forbid it and deny that people who commit suicide get into heaven. In some countries, suicide is even illegal.
Walne is best known for her humour. She is a funny gal, and her regular columns either have readers in stitches or apoplectic rages, so The Diving is not at all what you would expect. It is a deeply moving, utterly beautiful book. It doesn't explain suicide (as she says, she cannot speak for Richard), but it unpacks her healing. And in that it may just show a way for someone else to find some hope, too.

South African artist Faith47 has recently been featured in a piece about female street artists in the New York Times – it's a great, fascinating read. Apparently photographer Martha Cooper, who has been photographing graffiti culture for decades, says around 1 percent of all street artists are now women – a "significant leap" from the 0.1 percent it had been for years.
Also picking up on Faith47's extraordinary new work in South Africa and London is art, design and visual culture website This is Collosal: "The artist is known for her use of existential symbolism to comment on nature and the human condition, specifically the struggle of many South Africans who grapple with injustice, poverty, and inequality."
Of a work in the Free State, the NYT piece includes Faith47's description of the experience:
Recently, Faith47 the word "love" in large letters across the inside wall of an abandoned factory in the Free State province of South Africa, a "most surreal lost space" where kids from a nearby township played. While she was there, a child suddenly grabbed a long tree root hanging from the ceiling and swung to and fro in front of her wall, over a gaping hole in the floor. "It was as if time stood still," she said. "The danger of his action and the magic of the light flooding into that time and space."
Faith47 has work in many countries across the world: according to her website, you can catch glimpses in London, Montreal, Stavanger, Johannesburg, Miami, Tudela, New York, Cape Town, Rome, Honolulu, Vienna, Durban, Puerto Rico, Gaeta, San Benedetto del Toronto and Malaga. As a resident of Cape Town, I am often left breathless by the power of Faith47's work. It's quite unlike anything else out there – she represents something etheral yet so brutal about our own realities.

Russel Jarvis of South African travel site Travelstart has trawled Flickr and the web to come up with a collection of 50 photographs that showcase the best of Cape Town as one of the most photogenic cities in the world. It's a collection, he says, that best represents "the pretty city's people, scenes and landscapes".
The one above is of the flower sellers that can be found in the arcade off Adderley Street in Cape Town's city centre. "They have been there for more than 100 years and always deliver a range of freshly cut flowers at reasonable prices." The photo is by Greg Lumley on the SA Venues blog.

"One destination continues to hold the number one spot in our wanderlust-filled hearts: Cape Town," writes Hayden Rockwell in the Huffington Post's Travel section. "Trust us, if you're going to travel anywhere this year, it should be to Cape Town."
Warning travellers that they should be prepared for cooler-than-summer temps, he goes on to list 15 "facts" – because he can't sell us on opinion alone – why Cape Town should be Number 1 on your travel agenda. A few of my favourites:
• From Clifton to Camps Bay, you'll find some of the most picturesque beach communities at the foot of the mountain. There are plenty of beachfront bars to enjoy a sundowner at: "With a Savanna Cider in hand, the awe-inspiring sunsets will make you wonder where this beautiful place has been all your life."
Just outside the city is ... Boulders Beach, "home to about 3 000 adorable penguins. Just imagine the Instagram potential of this place."
• Long Street is "pretty much Bourbon Street, but it's not nearly as over-crowded or over-priced. The nightlife in Cape Town is unmatched. The drinks are cheap, the bars are fun and the music scene is taking off."
• The Neighbourgoods Market at Old Biscuit Mill is "the most epic weekend market of all time. Spend a Saturday roaming through the stalls and we assure you, you'll never want to leave. Exotic food creations are not limited and the Ostrich burger should be at the top of your list."
It's been one hell of a year so far for the Mother City, ranking high on most international travel lists. Having moved here from the Eastern Cape three years ago, I'm still relishing the city as a fresh-faced immigrant. Exploring Kirstenbosch, hiking in Silvermine Reserve, and sundowners on Llandudno beach remain my top three things to do.

I might not have been born into a democratic South Africa but my parents sure did their best to shelter me from being ostracised solely based on my skin colour. Although this was probably instinctive on their part as parents innately try to protect their kids, I think it prevented me from being fully aware about issues surrounding the nation's fight for a free and fair country.
Forging forward many years later and South Africa is celebrating 20 years of democracy. For me, a great way to understand the anti-apartheid struggle has been to find out about the lives of the country's departed heroes, those who fought tirelessly for freedom, regardless of the sacrifices.
To walk into any one of Johannesburg's cemeteries is to explore the country's rich history through the stalwarts that lie resting there. Take, for instance, Avalon Cemetery, the final resting place of many prominent individuals who were involved in the liberation struggle – among them Hector Pieterson and Tsietsi Mashinini, victims of the 1976 uprising.
It sends chills down my spine just thinking about the passion and selflessness of students and the driving force they embodied in a bid to abolish something as inhuman as apartheid, fighting til the death to see it eradicated.
As part of my job as a writer for Johannesburg City Parks, I have been researching South Africa's fallen heroes – and I'm humbled by the sacrifices made by them and their young families to see a country unburdened from racial hate and intolerable cruelty. Johannesburg holds the the stories of many heroes and heroines, many of whom have been laid to rest in the 35 cemeteries throughout the city.
Political activist Nontsikelelo Albertina Sisulu (aka the "Mother of the Nation") is just such an example. She was laid to rest beside her husband, Walter Sisulu, at the Newclare Cemetery. The couple fought tirelessly and spent years in prison or deep underground to help the people of South Africa. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1940, and along with Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo was part of the ANC Youth League.

The bare facts of the life of Nelson Mandela are well known, but as we draw closer to his first birthday we'll be marking without him, perhaps it is more important to reflect on what made him the great man he was.
If we get a better understanding of the culture that informed his extraordinary humanity, there is a possibility we can celebrate his legacy in concrete and meaningful ways, with some humanity of our own.
The first Nelson Mandela International Day since his death is a good time to explore ubuntu, which Madiba learned at the knee of his elders, under the famed gum trees at Mqhekezweni, the "Great Place" of the Thembu tribe.
It was here, listening to Chief Jongintaba's council, that a young Mandela learned his diplomacy – and democracy. The regent gave every person a chance to speak; and everybody had to listen to the other's opinion.
This spectacular, deeply spiritual place is a highlight of Nelson's Transkei, a tour of the landscapes of his childhood run by travel company Ukubona Africa. It visits the small villages and rural homesteads, and immerses the visitor in the culture of the Thembu. It explores the age-old, rural rhythms of life; and not much has changed since it was the home of a very young Mandela.
Follow his footsteps from Mvezo to Qunu, where he moved with his family at the age of two. And then the journey the nine-year-old Madiba took with his mother to Mqhekezweni, after his father died. Hear the stories of his people. Learn about how Mandela became the man he was. To be sure, it is a hard life, but at its centre lies ubuntu, the idea that I am because you are. Nelson's Transkei does more than show what made the man; it shows what is special about Africa.

South African artist Robin Rhode has been named as the winner of the 2014 Roy R Neuberger Exhibition Prize, a biannual prize that "celebrates an exceptional artist with an early-career survey and catalogue".
Animating the Everyday, an exhibition of his work, is currently on show at the Neuberger Museum of Art in New York until 10 August.
The 22 works in the exhibition, representing a 10-year survey of his digital videos, focus on the digital videos that Rhode identifies as "animations" and photographic series that correspond to or complement the time-based work.
"I come from a culture that is very spontaneous, that has a lot of humor and sarcasm. It stems from the South African mentality and has to do with freedom, and with the possibility of imagining or reinventing another world quite rapidly ... Approachability and accessibility are fundamental to my work." – Robin Rhode
"Rhode's exuberant animations – created in the streets, studios, his parents' yard in Johannesburg, and Berlin where he now lives and works – transform the quotidian into the playful and fantastic but include an underpinning of melancholy, danger, and risk," the Neuberger Museum writes on its website.
"I embrace chaos. I don't create a work only with the idea that it has to be lighthearted; there's something dark underneath," Rhode is quoted as saying during a recent visit to the Neuberger Museum.

Tourism is big business, which means tourism conferences and exhibitions are also big business. It is at these that tour companies, destinations, and others in the industry market themselves to the world.
The Tourism Indaba has been held in Durban each year since Pa fell off the bus. The next one runs from 10 to 12 May. And now there is a new kid on the block: the first World Travel Market Africa (WTM) is being held in Cape Town on 1 and 2 May, rounding off Africa Travel Week. It was preceded by IBTM Africa (Incentives, Business Travel & Meetings) and ILTM Africa (International Luxury Travel Market), all at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
Of course, the main WTM takes place in London annually. It's a business-to-business event, and there are a bunch of people filling the huge exhibition hall at the CTICC. WTM Africa has exhibitors from 42 countries in Africa, America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Mediterranean. Product categories range from the accommodation sector to the airline industry, destination management companies and many more, say the organisers.
Local trends such as Mandela pilgrimage tourism, online and mobile developments that enable consumers to bypass traditional distribution methods, and responsible tourism are being explored.
According to the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, demand for international tourism in 2013 was strongest for destinations in Africa (+6%), as well as Asia and the Pacific (+6%). Africa attracted 3-million additional arrivals, reaching a new record of 56-million, reflecting the on-going rebound in North Africa (+6%) and the sustained growth of Sub-Saharan destinations (+5%). This year, regional prospects are strongest for Asia and the Pacific (+5% to +6%) and Africa (+4% to +6%).
The show has brought a vacation vibe to the Foreshore. "You don't need a holiday, you need Cape Town" is the Cape Town Tourism slogan. And perhaps the travel industry does not need to go anywhere else: between Cape Town and Durban, WTM Africa and Tourism Indaba, with a week in-between to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainbow nation, this is a good place to be.

There's so much that I love about this photograph - not least of which is the wonderful expression on Madiba's face. It's almost as if he's responding in amusement at all the fuss going on around him. I like the light of the photo, the upheld cellphones, and the smiles on the men to Mandela's right. It looks like a happy, beautiful autumn day. A perfect day on which to celebrate freedom.
Just a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable to install a bust or any symbol of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela in the South African Parliament ... The South African people were told that he was a terrorist and a prisoner that they should forget about. Thus, there can be no better 20th anniversary gift for South Africans than to have this symbol of Madiba in Parliament. – President Jacob Zuma, at the unveiling on Monday
The Presidency says the bust – in bronze on a granite plinth – shows Mandela looking out over Stalplein to the Parliament gates leading to Plein Street, opposite the steps of the National Assembly building. The bust is 2.28m high when placed on its plinth.

Brand South Africa has launched a new campaign in celebration of South Africa's 20 years of democracy. Remembering where we come from is important if we are to celebrate where we are. And the ads - which will flight across TVs, radios, laptops and mobiles this weekend, achieve just that.
With the headline, "Here's to you, South Africa", the ads are a toast to South Africa's achievements. "Here's to 20 years of inspiring achievements and many more to come."
"We have overcome so much and come so far, it is time to celebrate the miracle of South Africa. We can be proud to be South Africans. We are confident in the future we are building, and are constantly amazed at what we have achieved." - Wendy Tlou, Brand South Africa's director of strategic marketing
The campaign aims to generate pride and love - and what else could you feel when you see two students, sitting on a bench, marked "Europeans Only"? Europeans? Seriously?! On a bench in a public place? I'm especially grateful that it is not something my children would recognise. When I tell them that there was once a time when white South Africans referred to themselves as "Europeans", we all shake our heads at the madness of it all. When I tell them that once, there were different benches for people with different skin colours, they don't even believe me. Thank God for that. Thank God we live in a different country - one that is nothing like it was two decades ago.
The past is truly a different country. And who would want to live there anyway?

This post is the summary of the clickjacking bugs I reported for Facebook bug bounty program. All these bugs discussed here are now fixed. Attacker was able to add any malicious facebook app with any permissions to victims account just by one click. Vulnerable pages discussed below were lacking Anti-Clickjacking Protection such as X-Frame-Options header which renders the vulnerable page in iframe (invisible).
First bug I found was in permissions.request dialog on Facebook Mobile site. This dialog was used to add Facebook apps to authenticated user. A single click on "Allow" button would add the app to victim facebook profile.
The vulnerable link, which adds "Graph API Explorer" app, was:
Here "display" parameter was used to decide the apperance of the page based on values supplied. It has 3 values: page, wap & touch. Page display was mainly used in Facebook main site and wap & touch was for Facebook mobile site.
The next bug was the variation of the previous bug where the permissions.request dialog page was able to render in iframe with "display=wap" parameter. With this parameter, the page looks like Mobile facebook page in Facebook main site which was lacking the clickjakcing protection at that time. The vulnerable page for this was:
Till this I learned new things about these dialogs and was able to add any permissions to the app.
The last bug was about oauth dialog. This was again from Facebook Mobile site. The vulnerable page was:
Sadly this bug didn't win any bounty as Facebook said "This can't be protected with X-Frame-Options because it needs to be servable in an arbitrary iframe.".
Well, I developed my own process to find such bugs which helps me to identify them quickly.
All of these bugs will result in adding malicious app with unwanted permissions to victim's account only with single user click. These permissions includes access to email, status message and many other things.
Here is a small demonstration:
That's all. Hope you like this post. Suggessions, comments are welcome.

Woo hoo more CC3 people! Welcome, Midgardsormr!
I think posting your first experiences and progress with CC3 is a great idea and will be of great use to others who might be interested in purchasing the program.
Quick question - is the map you are showing all CC3 output or is it just the landmass outline on top of a scanned image? If it's all CC3, I have some suggestions for you.
I've been using Campaign Cartographer in one form or another for about ten years and I love it. And CC3 is leaps and bounds 1000 times better than the first version I purchased.

I am working on a partial migration to zimbra. What I would like to do is move a couple of users to the zimbra server, and keep the rest on our current mail server.
Our current mail server is postfix+courier+ldap. I use transport_maps on our current postfix to forward mail to zimbra by smtp (email@example.com smtp:[ip of zimbra server]. This works fine.
I am trying to attempt the same thing on the zimbra side for all the users that I have not migrated, so that zimbra will forward to our current mail server. Reading the Admin Manual, transport_maps looks for the zimbraMailTransport attribute. I have been so far unsuccessful in editing this attribute.
Am I going about this all the wrong way? Has anyone done this type of "partial migration", if so, what did you do?

Video: "The Voice" coaches perform "With a Little Help from My Friends," top 16 sings "Home"
Check out a couple of the musical highlights of Monday night's final live performance episode of "The Voice" Season 4: Coaches Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Usher and Shakira performing "With a Little Help From My Friends" and the top 16 singing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes' "Home."
Muskogee's The Swon Brothers and 16-year-old Texan Danielle Bradbery, both representing Oklahoma country music star Blake Shelton's team, and indie pop-rocker Michelle Chamuel, who is competing on Team Usher, are the three finalists vying for the grand prize of a recording contract. Since one of Shelton's finalists won the past two seasons, Team Blake is working on a three-peat on "The Voice."
The winner will be revealed during the live two-hour season finale airing from 8 to 10 tonight.
Check out my live blog of Monday night's performance episode here.
As previously reported, Zach and Colton Swon performed on Monday the Eagles' standard "I Can't Tell You Why," with Zach on piano, Colton on guitar and their sibling harmonies in the forefront. It also showcased their falsetto singing, something we hadn't really seen them do before, and they nailed that aspect of the song.
For their coach duet, the Swon siblings teamed with Shelton to perform Brad Paisley's smash "Celebrity," which showed off not only their musical abilities but the ironic sense of humor the Oklahomans share. After all, you've got to have a sense of irony to perform a song mocking reality show while on a reality show.
"I Can't Tell You Why" and "Celebrity" are the two songs from Monday night's episode for which iTunes downloads count for votes. You've still got almost an hour to vote by downloading, calling toll-free, texting or online balloting. For complete voting instructions, go to www.nbc.com/the-voice/vote/methods.

1970 Chevy Chevelle - Eliminate WheelhopWritten by on April 22, 2004 By Installing New Upper And Lower Trailing Arms
Wheelhop breaks parts, slows your quarter-mile e.t.'s and makes your teeth chatter. And the more horsepower you're making, the more severe wheelhop usually is. Simply bolting on a set of made-in-Taiwan chrome traction bars (or similar items) may lessen the pogo-stick effect, but what you really need to do is replace the flex-prone O.E.M. suspension components and bushings with new parts that'll take the torque.
The folks at Hotchkis Performance have been working on the woes of wheelhop for years and have come up with a gaggle of goodies to get your car to hook. One prime king of wheelhop is our Cheap Street Chevelle project car. Our '70 Chevelle (and all '64-'72 GM A-bodies, for that matter) would not only hop, skip and jump on each dragstrip launch, it would also flounder aimlessly when navigating any sort of twisty canyon road.
Hotchkis has a suspension setup that gave us smooth launches along with great daily driveability--even on twisty roads. And here's the beauty of the Hotchkis kit: You can easily install the parts in your driveway with standard hand tools. Heck, even if you can't afford everything at once, Hotchkis sells the parts separately so you can build up as your budget allows.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1.We installed Hotchkis' complete rear trailing arm and bushing package (PN 1803) in our Cheap Street Chevelle. The package includes two lower trailing arms, two upper trailing arms and two trailing arm mount braces, along with all the necessary bolts and bushings. The bushings aren't just O.E.M. replacements; rather, they're made of polyurethane and are much beefier than the stock units. Notice how heavy-duty the trailing arms look; they won't flex and bend like the O.E.M. trailing arms will.2.After jacking up the rear of the car, place jackstands under the frame to securely hold the vehicle off the ground. Then put a floor jack under the rearend housing to hold it in place. To begin the swap process, remove the shock absorbers from the lower mounts. Then lower the floor jack, allowing the rearend to drop as much as it can. Remove each rear spring by prying up on the bottom coil to pop it out of its mount. This may sound difficult, but it's super easy--we had our springs out in less than five minutes. Remember, the more the rearend drops, the easier the springs are to remove.3.Once the springs are removed, jack the rearend up as high as it will go (but not far enough to raise the rear of the car). Loosen and remove the bolts on the lower trailing arms, then remove the lower trailing arms.4.Not all Chevelles have trailing arm mount braces (the braces were probably part of an optional suspension package), but if your car has the O.E.M. braces, remove them.5.Apply a light coating of grease to the sides of the new polyurethane bushings, then install the new Hotchkis lower trailing arms in place of the O.E.M. units. Be sure to install the trailing arms so that the two holes (arrow) in the arms face rearward, toward the back bumper. The two holes on each arm are used to mount a rear anti-roll bar, if you so desire. Tighten the new (supplied) Grade 8 bolts finger-tight--the bolts will be torqued to spec later.6.Once the new lower trailing arms are installed, remove the two smaller upper trailing arms. The upper trailing arms should come right off, but if they are stubborn, have a buddy wiggle the rearend slightly (or slightly raise or lower the rearend with the floor jack), as it will loosen the arms.7.Installing the Hotchkis kit involves putting new polyurethane bushings in the rearend housing. To do so you must remove the crusty O.E.M. bushings. We found that hitting the bushings from the back side with a hammer will drive them out.8.Install the new bushing housing in the rearend only deep enough to have the housing's rib butt against the flange on the rearend. Note that once fully seated, the new bushing housing will stick out about one-half inch. Don't hammer directly on the bushing housing; rather, put a flat piece of metal or a block of wood against the bushing housing and then hit. Once in place, slip the new polyurethane bushing into the bushing housing.
10.With both of the new upper and lower trailing arms in place, install the new Hotchkis trailing arm mount braces just as the O.E.M. units mounted. In some instances you may have to slightly dimple the floorboard to gain clearance for the new heavy-duty braces. The braces mount using the same bolts used to mount the upper and lower trailing arms. Once the braces are in place, torque the upper and lower trailing arm bolts to 70 lb-ft.11. Lower the floor jack, allowing the rearend to drop as far as it can. Then re-install the rear coil springs. Cheap Street Chevelle had worn-out rear springs that promoted wheelhop and let the rearend sag below the ride height of the front end. Thus, we upgraded to new heavy-duty 130 in-lb springs from Hotchkis. Re-installing the springs is easy; simply place the spring in its top location and then wedge the spring onto its mounting flange on the rearend housing. Sometimes it's easier to install the springs if a buddy pushes down on the rearend housing slightly as you position the coil spring.12. Once the coil springs are in place, jack up the rearend about halfway through its "travel"--not dropped completely down or jacked all the way up. Then, re-install the shock absorbers. Our shocks were totally wasted. They were smashed, rusted and leaky, which indicated it was time for new units. Hotchkis recommends heavy-duty shocks from Tokico, so we upgraded while we were doing the rest of the suspension mods. No sense installing new heavy-duty parts and re-installing the used set of shocks. In any case, Hotchkis offers many varieties of Tokico shocks and can match them to your kit.13.With all the parts in place, double-check torque on the bolts and then put the wheels/tires back on. Then, lower the car and take it for a test drive. Our Chevelle had hard-as-a-hockey-puck tires, so burnouts were no problem, but the new rear suspension eliminated our wheelhop woes. Plus, the car actually handled better, instead of wallowing and floundering each time we attempted to turn a corner.
