Defining The Hot Rod And Custom Car Legacy WheelsWritten by Chris Shelton on October 25, 2013 Contributors: The Petersen Publishing Archives, Doug Liebrant Part 1: OEM And Period Accessory Wheels
They say wheels can transform a car. You don't have to take anyone's word for it, either. That the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) dedicates almost 650,000 square feet of exhibit space at its annual convention to nothing but wheels and tires tells us that they're popular.
That got us thinking: We started that trend. Well, you and I didn't do it but our forebears sure did. They started by swapping wheels among cars but soon they cut apart OEM wheels and reversed, widened, and plated the rims prior to welding them back to the centers. Our brethren were the ones who adapted racing wheels to street cars. One of our guys, Lou Senter, an aftermarket parts manufacturer who made alloy wheels affordable for the masses, cofounded the association that devotes all that exhibition space to wheels and tires. What better way to celebrate that than by showcasing the industry's noteworthy rollers?
That's a big order to fill. We have steel wheels, aluminum ones, steel-aluminum hybrids, and others made from magnesium. We figured we'd be safe to cover just the most famous designs, but where do you draw the line there? With nearly a century's worth of popular wheels to cover we could fill a book, if not volumes of books. We had to draw the line somewhere.
At first it seemed easy: Rod & Custom is a somewhat traditional title so do nothing but traditional wheels. But how does one define traditional? Well the early 1970s offers a convenient and somewhat objective break. The recession then pretty much killed the market and by the time it rebounded billet was king and I think we all can agree that billet isn't traditional, at least not yet. That same recession also killed Rod & Custom, drawing the line even deeper in the sand.
That still gives us a lot of ground to cover—too much for one entry, in fact. So we're breaking our focus into three categories: one for steel OEM wheels, another for alloys, and a third for aftermarket wheels, including composites (hybrids with steel rims riveted to aluminum centers).
We admit this is an imperfect account. There's simply no way to cover more than the most popular ones. So we ask you in advance to forgive us if we've ignored your favorite. However, of the wheels we're showing here, all but a noted few are available through the aftermarket, including at the sources listed. In some respects it really is the very best time to build hot rods and customs.
The Balloon-Tire Craze
You've likely encountered some curious wheels at swap meets. If they're like these they date to the late 1920s and 1930s. But unlike wheels common to that era their wider rims mount tires with 16-, 15-, and even 14-inch bead diameters, the last of which didn't come to pass until the late 1950s. Rest assured they're not modified.
The most effective way to increase a tire's traction is to widen it, but in the early days of tire technology that wasn't possible without also increasing the sidewall height. The taller tires that resulted wouldn't fit existing vehicles so the manufacturers went the other way and reduced the rim diameter. The balloon tire was born.
To create a market for these ample tires the tire makers hired wheel manufacturers to build rollers that would adapt them to existing cars. Goodyear had disc wheels stamped for its Airwheel line. Truck-wheel manufacturer Clark Equipment Company made wheels with cast-iron centers for Firestone's Air Balloon series.
We can't say for sure but the riveted-spoke wire wheels that Kelsey Hayes and Motor Wheel Corp. produced may also owe their existence to balloon tire updating (Kelseys as small as 15 inches turn up every so often). Kelsey Hayes definitely produced a lock-ring wire wheel for Firestone according to Jim Lattin, who gathered a complete set to reproduce the Danny Sakai modified.
Without a doubt bicycle maker Cleveland Welding produced the most famous undersized wheels for General Tire. With bead diameters as small as 14 inches, General's Jumbo line was by far the most extreme. And according to the number of those Cleveland Welding wheels still around, the Jumbo was the most popular.
Though aftermarket, these wheels generally aren't considered hot rod or custom-car wheels. Enthusiasts eager to set their machines apart from the crowd might change that, though. These are actually somewhat attractive—at least a far sight better than some of the obscure wheels we've seen bolted to hot rods in the pursuit of individuality.
Stamped-Steel Wheels
Manufacturers like Chevrolet and Packard experimented with disc-type wheels in the 1920s, but their flat profiles were relatively vulnerable to lateral loads. But deep-draw stamping techniques pioneered in the 1930s gave wheels more complex shapes for strength. What's more, the opportunity to choose shapes let carmakers distinguish their wheels from others.
So effective is the stamped-steel wheel that it survives on just about every vehicle made today. Unless they're identifiable as modern, stamped wheels are also generally impervious to trends.
Ford's Disc Wheels
When Ford returned to the 5.5-inch wheel-bolt pattern for the 1939 Lincoln and 1940 Ford and Mercury models it introduced the wheel that became the de-facto hot rod wheel for the post-war era. They were strong not to mention easier to clean and far lighter than the wheels that they replaced.
Ford offered them in a number of diameters, widths, and hubcap mounts. The flipside is that they're almost too numerous to count. We have an advantage, though: Stu McMillan.
McMillan presented the information listed in the Kelsey Hayes catalogs that he collected over the years. That's great because it reveals exactly which vehicle got what wheel. It's also a curse because Ford changed its part numbers every time it changed the design. And Ford made a ton of incremental changes that don't really bear mentioning.
We'll break things down by the major dimensions. The 1940 Ford V8-60 got a 16x3.5 wheel. The 1939 and 1940 Lincoln, 1940 Mercury, 1940-48 Ford cars, and 1940-42 pickups got the 16x4. The 1942-52 Ford trucks got the 16x4.5. The Mercury and Lincoln from 1942 to 1948 and trucks from 1953 to the mid '60s got the 15x5.
That list ignores hubcap mounting but a caption explains that. Also bear in mind that Ford offered just about every wheel it sold as an option on all of its vehicles. The most coveted are the 16x5 wheels that Ford offered as an option on pickups from at least 1954 to well into the 1960s.
Oversized Accessory Wheels
You can't spend much time in tradition land without hearing the terms Divco or milk truck applied to 18-inch stamped-steel wheels. Before we continue, though, we'd like to ask a huge favor: Stop doing that.
Contrary to the folklore, disc wheels that measure 18 inches, accept a Ford snap-in cap and fit passenger car/light-truck bolt patterns never ever came on Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company (Divco) trucks—nor did they grace any specific vehicle like a milk truck (dairy distributors favored the Divco trucks, which might explain the association). In fact, we don't know exactly why these wheels were made, although it's safe to presume that they were intended to increase a vehicle's ground clearance.
This much we do know thanks to Stu McMillan's collection. Kelsey Hayes produced those wheels as PN 23278 and PN 31873 for 1940-and later Ford and Mercury applications. Ford sold them as PN 1C-1015A, PN 8C5-1015B, and PN 01AS-1015A, although the literature doesn't designate any differences among the part numbers. Kelsey also produced a six-lug version for Chevrolet vehicles with the conventional 18x3.625 drop-center rim and with the less common 17-inch wheel with a lock-ring rim.
We also know why these oversized Kelsey disc wheels got popular. A larger diameter tire has the same net effect as reducing a gear ratio and high-speed Indy car tires fit right on them, making them popular among land speed racers. And their 5x5.5 pattern let them fit the most popular axles.
So now that you know, stop referring to these things as Divco or milk truck wheels. It makes you sound as if you just fell off a pumpkin truck (another application they weren't specifically intended for).
Revival Wires
Car designers are famously nostalgic. After an absence of about 20 years—the unofficial period for people to forget what made something go out of style in the first place—wire wheels reappeared in showrooms and parts stores.
Initially the two players were classic-age darlings: Kelsey Hayes produced the Cadillac Eldorado, Buick Skylark, and Ford Thunderbird wheels. Motor Wheel Co. built Chrysler, Hudson, and Packard wheels. Both offered aftermarket versions.
The wire-wheel revival of the 1950s and 1960s initiated a landslide of sorts. A number of wheel manufacturers tooled up to produce wire wheels by the 1970s. They haven't gone away since.

The wire wheels Buffalo, Dayton, Houk, Rudge, and others produced for the OEM and aftermarket were stronger and required less maintenance than wood-spoked wheels. Though they were popular well before the term existed, these were hot rod wheels of their day. A hundred years on, Dayton still builds them.The series Ford introduced in 1932 stands as the first wheel for hot rods as we know them. The 1932 wheels measure 18 inches, the 1933 and 1934 measure 17 inches, and the 1935 measure 16 inches. All Ford wheels have one thing in common: 32 welded spokes. Don't let the Kelsey Hayes stamp in some fool you; if the spokes are welded, they're referred to as Ford wheels.Companies like Kelsey Hayes and Motor Wheel Corp. offered riveted-spoke wheels to replace OEM models. The Ford-style Motor Wheels in 18- and 16-inch diameter have 36 spokes; the 17-inch ones have 32. Kelsey Hayes endowed all of its wheels with 40 spokes, making them the strongest. The 16-inch Ford wheels are appropriate for pre-war-style hot rods but the stronger Kelseys were coveted even then.In 1936 Ford increased its wheel-mounting pattern to 10.25 inches. These wide-five wheels, as they're called, lasted to late 1938 (Lincoln Zephyr) and 1939 (Ford and Mercury). Most measured 16x4 but the V8-60 cars got 16x3.5s. Kelsey Hayes offered optional 18x3.625, 16x5.5, 15x5.5, and 15x6 accessory versions of this wheel.Spend any time around pre-war American cars and you're likely to encounter General Jumbo wheels. But you're not likely to encounter many like these: they're 16-inch examples that our pal Doug Leibrant scared up. These would've adapted balloon tires to cars that came with 18s or even 19s or 21s.Even Chevrolet tapped the balloon-tire trend. In 1936 it offered a 15x5 accessory wheel as an option to the standard 16x4. Nowadays companies like Wheel Vintiques, Wheelsmith, and Rally America offer new examples in a broad array of sizes. Leibrant has these real ones on his 1937 Chevy pickup.After World War II just about every carmaker introduced a wheel that retained its hubcap by three or four external knobs, like the one Western Wheel founder Don Hentzell modeled for us. Most hubcaps have a surprisingly universal 10.125-inch-diameter ID. Notable exceptions include 1949-51 Mercury (11.25-inch cap, shown here) and 1960-and-later Chrysler (8.75-inch cap).Ever wonder what the origins of a chromed-reverse wheel are? Wheel builders like Hentzell (Western Wheel) and Roy Vachon (Appliance Plating) disassembled wheels, chrome plated their components, and reassembled them with the rims flipped around to make them appear wider.Special hubcaps and trim rings aside it took a while for the aftermarket to respond with dress-up goodies for the external-knob wheel. It wasn't until the very early 1960s that Cal Custom introduced a spider that mounted bullets over the hub opening and lug nuts, and a trim ring that snapped over the hubcap lugs. A spate of other custom-specific bullet and spinner caps followed.
Motor Wheel Corp. offered its wire as early as 1953 on the Packard Clipper and Chrysler Imperial and made them until at least 1956 for those cars, Dodges, and Plymouths. The hub resembles the one that Kelsey Hayes made for the 1962 and 1963 Thunderbirds but it has a more pronounced hourglass shape and flares out wider where it meets the drum.Kelsey Hayes made the Cadillac Eldorado wire from 1953 to at least 1955. Its hub is far deeper than the Motor Wheel example, especially where the inner spokes mount. This is one case where you'd rather have the reproductions: the 40-spoke originals tend to crack but the reproductions' 52 spokes make them very strong.A–style tapered snout distinguishes the wheel Kelsey Hayes made for the Buick Skylark from 1953 to at least 1956. Sam Hollingsworth went to great lengths to mount these to his Nomad because the original design fits a stepped drum specific to those cars. Most, if not all, reproductions fit conventional flat drums and rotors making them appealing, however, they're all 5x5 pattern.

SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah will enshrine five former Ute athletes, one former coach and one team into the Crimson Club Athletics Fund Hall of Fame on Friday, Sept. 5 at Rice-Eccles Stadium & Tower. Honored at the 2014 Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be Kevin Dyson (football), Elaine Elliott (women's basketball coach), Amy Kofoed (soccer), Andre Miller (men's basketball), Kim Turner (volleyball), Sandy Woolsey (gymnastics) and the 1964 Liberty Bowl team.
Kevin Dyson
A two-time first-team all-WAC selection, wide receiver Kevin Dyson is Utah's all-time leader in receptions (192) and is second in receiving yards (2,726). Dyson was a first round NFL Draft pick in 1998, taken No. 16 overall. He played for the Tennessee Titans in the 2000 Super Bowl. Dyson graduated from Clearfield (Utah) High School.
Elaine Elliott
In 27 seasons, Elaine Elliott guided the Utah women's basketball program to a 582-234 (.713) record, 14 conference championships and 15 NCAA Tournaments before retiring in 2010. She led Utah to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2001 and the Elite Eight in `06. Seventeen of her players earned All-America honors and four were drafted by the WNBA.
Amy Kofoed
Three-time first-team all-Mountain West Conference pick Amy Kofoed is Utah soccer's all-time leader in goals (46) and points (108). Kofoed was named to the SoccerBuzz all-region second-team 2000-01. The Layton, Utah, native helped the Utes win a share of the Mountain West championship--the first in school history--in 1999.
Andre Miller
A consensus All-American and the Basketball Times National Player of the Year in 1998-99, point guard Andre Miller is Utah's all-time leader in steals (254) and ranks second in assists (721). He is also 11th in career scoring (1,618 points). Miller led the Runnin' Utes to four NCAA tournaments, including the 1998 title game, and four WAC championships. He was the No. 8 overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft and has played in the league the past 15 years.
Kim Turner
Utah volleyball's first-ever AVCA All-American by earning third-team honors in 2003, Kim Turner was also a two-time Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Year. The middle blocker graduated as Utah's all-time leader in kills (1,620) and total blocks (670). She led the Utes to four NCAA Tournaments, including the school's first trip to the Sweet 16 in 2001.
Sandy Woolsey
A five-time All-American and the 1994 NCAA individual champion on the uneven bars, Sandy Woolsey helped lead the Ute gymnasts to NCAA team championships in 1994 and '95. Woolsey earned All-America honors three times on bars, once on beam and once in the all-around. She scored a perfect 10.0 twice on bars and once on beam.
1964 Liberty Bowl Team
Utah defeated West Virginia, 32-6, in the 1964 Liberty Bowl played on Dec. 19 at the Atlantic City Convention Hall. It was the first major college football game ever played indoors. Under head coach Ray Nagel, the Utes were a tri-champion in the Western Athletic Conference and finished with a 9-2 record, which stood as the school record for wins for 30 years. Quarterback Pokey Allen was the team captain and cornerback/kicker Roy Jefferson earned All-America honors.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Seven-year-old Michael Kingsbury's body was found inside a car near his family's home on July 8 in Northeast DC. It took more than a day before police found his body.
Police now say his death was determined to be accidental. Earlier, police said preliminary results of the autopsy showed no signs of trauma.
More information is expected to be released at a later time.
Police said during the press conference in July that the car was checked out several times, by at least 3 police officers. Michael's mother told police she looked at the very same car her son, who had autism, was later found.
When Michael was reported missing, police patrols were set up in a close-by alleyway. Police used canines and academy recruits to search. Neighbors said there were two cars parked in the lot for months. Later, someone saw Michael in one of them. They had to smash the window to get him out.

Railroad shipping: CP, Teck reach 10-year deal for coal exports
October 07, 2010
Class I railroad carrier Canadian Pacific Limited and Teck Resources Limited said they have inked a 10-year deal in which CP will transport Teck's steelmaking coal from five Teck-owned mines in southeast British Columbia to Vancouver-area ports.
This arrangement is expected to begin on April 1, 2011.
CP officials said this deal reflects the companies' commitment to work together to achieve growth in the volume of coal shipped through a range of economic and marketplace dynamics and provides for flexibility over the long term, as well as provide for CP investments that enhance coal handling capacity to provide for Teck's volume growth.
In April, CP and Teck reached a one-year agreement for CP to transport metallurgical coal from Teck's CP-served mines in southeast British Columbia to Kamploops- and Vancouver-area ports for export. When this deal was struck, CP said that during the term of this contract, CP and Teck plan to discuss a longer-term arrangement.
"CP is delighted to have participated in the creation of a unique and collaborative agreement that sets the foundation for the next decade," said CP President and CEO, Fred Green in a statement "Our ongoing dialogue has provided new and deeper insight into Teck's growth objectives. Importantly, the agreement provides the stability and confidence to grow our business and enhance this world class supply chain for our mutual benefit."
In 2009, CP carried roughly 305,000 carloads of coal, and in 2008, CP carried approx 318,000 carloads of coal. The majority of these carloads are Teck coal, CP told LM.
"Teck Coal Limited mines in southeastern British Columbia produce high quality metallurgical coal," said Mike LoVecchio, CP Senior Manager-Media Relations, in a previous interview. "The coal is largely exported to processors in Asia via coal terminals at the Port of Vancouver. Canadian Pacific tracks directly connect Teck's coal mines and the terminals, providing an integrated export supply chain. CP runs unit coal trains in a dedicated loop between the mines and the Coast."
JP Morgan analyst Tom Wadewitz commented in a research note that there is likely incentive for both parties to work together to grow volumes and increase capacity between the mines and the Vancouver ports., adding that he suspects CP will pursue expensive infrastructure investment along its main line in the Canadian Rockies.

Kalamazoo, MI (Sports Network) - Shayne Whittington finished with 15 points,
nine rebounds and three blocks as the Western Michigan Broncos rallied back to
defeat the Northern Illinois Huskies, 66-58, in a Mid-American Conference bout
at University Arena.
Connar Tava chipped in 12 points and eight boards for WMU (16-9, 8-4 MAC) as
it snapped a two-game losing streak. Austin Richie added 11 points and David
Brown scored 10 in 18 minutes off the bench.
Aksel Bolin tallied 10 points for NIU (5-14, 3-9) as it lost its fifth
consecutive contest. Darrell Bowie pulled down six rebounds but committed five
of the Huskies' 14 turnovers.
NIU played very well in the early portion of game as it connected on 54.2
percent of its field goal tries including 5-of-6 from distance. The Broncos
went into the intermission trailing, 37-32, despite converting all nine of
their attempts at the free-throw line.
WMU connected on just 39.1 percent of its field goal attempts after the break,
but it held the Huskies to 4-of-20 shooting from the floor to overcome a
deficit that was once as great as 10 points. NIU held a 58-50 lead with 4:01
left in regulation, but it watched its lead slip away as it failed to produce
another point the rest of the way.
The Broncos held a narrow, 32-31 edge in the rebounding battle and both sides
scored 18 points in the paint.

Is 9mi once better than 4.5mi twice? Maybe not.
Part 1- Introduction
Part 2- Evidence for doubling: training in glycogen depleted state
Part 3-Revisiting Single vs. Doubles: Evidence from Dathan Ritzenhein
I've been dabbling around with this idea in my head for quiet some time. I've even mentioned it on this blog before. The question is how long should easy days be and can they be split into relatively short runs?
It's common sense to think that one 8mi run is better than two 4mi runs, and that definately holds true when building general endurance. During a period of time when the focus is on general aerobic base building, it makes sense that you want that longer stimulus.
However, when it comes time to start doing harder work and ultimately during racing season, is it better to do one 8-10mi or two 4-5mi during an easy day?
I really have no idea what the answer is. So feel free to write in with thoughts, comments, critiques. I'm going to do a little bit of thinking out loud to try and see if I can wrap my head around this issue.
The initial reason that I've kicked this idea around so much is my own training in HS. Due to circumstances at my HS, we trained twice a day and generally split our mileage right down the middle. Why did we do this? First off, we had CC first period, so running in the morning made sense. We also had afterschool practice, so once again it made sense to run again. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, we were restricted to running on our campus. So, we had a 1.5mi loop that I ran way too many times. No one wanted to run 8mi straight doing loops, it was mind numbing to do that every day. Lastly, it's just how things had been done traditionally. Starting out, we weren't running that much mileage so a couple loops in the morning and afternoon was all that was done.
If I go back and look at my logs, in 2002 I mostly ran 4.5 and 4.5. In 2003, most of the time I was doing 5 and 5 or 6 and 6. It should be noted that in the summer, I, and my teammates, ran longer and didn't stick to the straight split doubles. That could be important.
Now, this wouldn't be a big deal, except it kind of defies the conventional wisdom. If it was just me doing this and having success, you could dismiss this for talent. However, for the past 10 years KO has had one of the more consistant and successful distance programs in Texas, sometimes with not the most talented of guys. For example, this years teams was just ranked #21 in the nation by Marc Bloom. So, it obviously is not taking anything away from the development of good runners.
Conventional wisdom would expect the aerobic system to be the one that took the hit if the mileage is split in half. However, this does not show up at all with the athletes. Through the years, numerous guys have run 5:30's for a staple yearly 10mi tempo run that is tradition. That means there high end aerobic abilities aren't taking a hit at all. Two more examples are that one guy who was only a 10min type 2miler at the time, ran a 1:13 half marathon off of the training, which one would not expect for a HS kid, since it takes years to get the aerobic system up to where it can be. Similarly, this year, a runner came through 5mi in mid 25's on a tough course on a 7.5mi threshold run. The point is, the aerobic system's, developed through a good deal of high end aerobic work, are not taking a hit because of the split mileage.
Which leads me to my next example. I was looking at some training done by former world class marathoner Kenny Moore. When I read it, I quickly noted that his easy days were filled with days of just 4-5mi runs or days of 3 and 3 or 5 and 3. Seeing this in an elite runner really made me reevaluate things. The key was that Kenny was hitting his workouts every couple days and had a good long run.
If splitting the mileage on easy days doesn't affect the runner's performance or aerobic abilities, then what does it do and can it be beneficial?
Here is my theory. Once general endurance is built during the base for that season, and especially in older athletes who have years and years of general aerobic work, you're not going to get much benefit from running 8mi at 6:30 pace. It's going to be the same stimulus that it's gotten for months. So, it's not going to force the body to go through some adaptation phase. It's basically going to be maintenance. But, we know that it is much easier to maintain than to build. So, it is not necessary to do a longer 8-10mi run during some easy days.
What happens when you split it with shorter doubles is that it might enhance recovery. The runs are shorter so that not much mechanical damage is going to happen, same with oxidative damage. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, splitting may aid in glycogen replenishment. It's much easier to restore glycogen stores after an easy 4-5mi run then after a 10mi run. Yes, you run twice, so you have to replenish glycogen twice, but I'd still argue that it is easier to replenish glycogen twice with several hours in between. Lastly, running twice may mean that you get some sort of hormonal release twice in the day, which could improve recovery.
If we look at growth hormone release during easy running, there's a swift rise intitially for the first 30-40min of a run, and then it levels off significantly to 60min. In one study, it showed an increase of about 550 percent from 0-40min, yet from 40-60min it only went up another 40-50percent.
The second part of my theory involves the rest of the training done. My hypothesis is that these shorter double days will only work if the athletes have a good deal of high end aerobic workouts, and there is a long run on the weekend. Kenny Moore mentions his 25-30milers some weekends as being key for him. Similarly in HS, the weekly long run of ~11-15mi seems to be enough to sustain general aerobic endurance during the season.
Lastly, it's likely that there is an individual component to this question. Some runners may adapt better with a split while others may need the single run. What runners need which is beyond me at this point. You could make all sorts of hypothesis at this point based on aerobic abiltities, fiber type, glycogen storage capacity, and a whole host of other things.
To sum things up. What do I truly think? I think the idea has a lot of merit. If I truly could find a reason for the HS kids to do 9mi all at once instead of doubling 4.5 and 4.5, then I would make them do that (even with the boredom factor of loops...). However, with the past 4 years of helping them, and with my own experience of 4 years in HS, I really can't find any physiological reason or, more importantly, practical performance difference to make the change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sometimes we can't explain why things work, yet they still do.
What does this mean practically? Test it out if you want to. During the season replace one day with an easy double of 4 and 4 or something similar. Monitor how you feel and how you respond the next day. You might be surprised.
Hopefully all of that made sense. This is just a pet theory of mine and it admittedly has wholes, so feel free to tear those apart, but if you look at it without being trapped into the traditional idea of longer is always better, even on easy days, it kind of makes sense. Thoughts, comments, critiques, welcome.
Part 2- Evidence for doubling: training in glycogen depleted state
16 comments:
Steve, I've been doing split doubles at least once a week for over a year now. Usually 6/6, but sometimes 5/5 or some near combination of it. When I race I usually do two split recovery runs in a week, when I'm not, it usually sticks to just once a week. I haven't felt any different, actually more consistent in my training if anything. I'm currently out of XC eligibility, and without doing any significant specific work, just an aerobic workout every two weeks, and a long run every couple weeks, I've managed to get into near 8k PR shape and within 15 seconds of 5k PR shape. I hope that helps you start to solve the puzzle, I know split recovery days has definitely won me over.ReplyDelete
I think that, like so much of training, the preference for doubles v. singles is largely personal. However, because of the bias for singles in training dogma, there are a lot of people (especially younger athletes) running singles when doubles would help them a lot.
When I look back at different runners I know with relatively the same success, I can't really find a pattern for singles/doubles preference on easy days during the season. For building endurance, sure- longer runs are good. But during the season, the point of easy mileage isn't to build endurance- it's to maintain what they've got and promote recovery in between specific sessions. For me, running two reasonably short doubles has always promoted recovery better. As I've gotten older, I've tacked on a few miles to one of the runs and generally, the pattern that seems to work for me and most college athletes I know above 80 a week is 20-40min AM, 50-70min PM.
For high school kids especially I think two easy doubles for recovery is a great idea- they warm twice, shake their legs out twice, get the blood flowing twice- but neither run is long enough to tire them out.
However, there is personal preference to consider. I had some teammates in high school who, if training twice a day, viewed it as a grind that took the fun out of running. They'd rather do an easy 8 in the afternoon than go 4 and 4, and yet this didn't impact their recovery measurably. To attempt to continue forcing these kids to double after they had tried it for a while would have been a bad idea.
To sum, I think everyone, especially high school kids, should try the split easy doubles way of recovery. I suspect, though, that the groups will split about 50-50 based along personal preference.
PS- I'm jealous you had CC practice first period in high school! I had to be up at 4:45am to double in the mornings before school- and we're talking New Hampshire winters here!

I really like what you had to say in this post. I think the key point you make is that the split doubles are only once you have built up your aerobic fitness to a certain point. Once in season when the focus begins to shift to other aspects of training, the emphasis of easy days are now on recovery instead of aerobic gains.
I don't know if I would split runs everyday, but I think it is a good idea to do it on designated recovery days. So if a standard 7 day week cycle looks like this(obviously differs for everyone):
Mon-Normal Run
Wed-Normal Run
Thurs-Recovery Run
Sat-Recovery Run
Sun-Long Run
then I think splitting runs on thurs and sat makes a lot of sense, especially for guys who are running a lot of miles. I don't know if I would cut out the full runs on Mon and Wednesday because you are then relying on your long run for the majority of your maintenance. Finally, Hudson always preaches the importance of working on all the different systems at all different points in training. even in the later part of the season can you be working on your aerobic fitness. I don't think you want to neglect the most important system to distance running.
Let me know what you think.

I began making big improvements in 1973 when I started running doubles fairly regularly. By 1977 I had stagnated and not had any PRs for over a year and changed back to singles. That brought another wave of PRs though none as dramatic as had come in the first wave.ReplyDelete
In the 70s there was a marathoner/ultra-marathoner called Ken Young who came up with what he called the "Collapse Point" theory. He worked out that the absolute minimum you needed to do in order to race a given distance was to average a third of that distance per day for something like 2-3 months (can't recall which) prior to the race. (More miles increased your likelihood of running faster.)
He didn't think it mattered HOW you broke up those miles, i.e., a prospective marathoner needed a minimum of nine miles a day. Period. One nine would do, so would three threes, an eighteen every other day, etc. Young ran 2:25 without any runs longer than twelve and a half miles but was up around 110-120 as I recall in his prep.
At another time Runner's World looked into this and published a study comparing improvements to endurance following runs of 30, 60, and 120 minutes. I won't have the numbers exactly right, but the study showed that a one hour run improved endurance by about 20% more than a thirty minute run but a two hour run improved endurance 120% (I'm a little hazy here) than a one hour run.
Their conclusion was that you were better off running two hours one day and either taking the next off or just running for a half hour.
But when I read the article I got to thinking that doing two half hour runs would improve endurance 160% more (80% + 80%) than a one hour run and should even be better than a two hour run. This conjures up memories of Tony Simmons who was 10,000 meter fourth placer at the 1976 Olympics and a 2:12 marathoner on two runs of 4-6 miles each day.
In later years I've found that I'm falling apart no matter what I do, singles or doubles. I once slowed and even reversed the deterioration for a while by going back to doubling with fairly short runs and then did the same later by doing three runs a week in the 15-18 mile range and running 8-9 miles on the other days, all in singles.
Singles generally do save money on your water bill.
Rich Englehart
Wow, some great responses. Thanks a lot.ReplyDelete
John-Thanks for adding your experiences with split doubles. I think you got it right in doing that for recovery runs. Good to see someone else have that experience.
Craig- Some great points as usual. As always, individualization is key and it often gets lost in this singles vs. doubles debate. I think you hit it right on when you said:
"For building endurance, sure- longer runs are good. But during the season, the point of easy mileage isn't to build endurance- it's to maintain what they've got and promote recovery in between specific sessions."
The switch in purpose of easy/recovery runs during the season vs. pre-season is an important point. It shows that MAYBE singles are better at one point, when doubles are needed at another. SImilar to how at one point of the season threshold runs are emphasized, but at another some specific 5k work might be the key. BUT just like in training, you can't completely leave the stimulus behind, so that might be why you still need a long run or a couple longer single runs.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on why some runners seem to respond better to singles vs doubles. Obviously mentality plays a role but is there a physiological mechanism too? Also, should we periodize recovery/easy runs more???
Kyle- I think you hit the nail on the head. Just like I said above to craig, it seems that modulating the recovery runs as singles or doubles is something that needs to be looked into. Also, I really think your schedule of using split doubles on the true recovery days may be the way to go. Just like you said, it allows for that enhanced recovery, yet doesn't leave anything behind because you still have other days of longer runs (ala hudson's point). Nice points.
Rich- Wow! Some great information and insight. It is much appreciated. I'm going to have to reread your post a couple times and let it digest because there are some very interesting observations there.
I really like the examples of the marathoners using relatively short doubles yet still succeeding. And that is very interesting that Young ran 2:25 without a long run.
It goes to show you the individuality of training. But it also calls into question some of the accepted things we do in training.
Thanks again for some great info. Greatly appreciate everyone's perspectives.
- Anonymous2:32 PM
There are more examples of marathoners who've done very well with no long runs. John Farrington from Austailia ran 2:21 on about 150 mpw, must have been some long runs there, then went to a couple 5-6 mile runs each day with a 10 miler most weekends and got to 2:11. Marc Smet of Belgium has become a minor cult figure at Letsrun for doing 2:10 without ever going longer than an hour though I'd like to see more documentation. In 1978-79 Chris Stewart of England was twice third at New York in successive 2:13s. Chris is a good friend and once told me that in one of those years he did no runs longer than 8 miles though he was doing 120-130 mpw.
On the shorter end, late in his career when John Walker's legs were giving out he could not run for more than a half hour at a time so he did that twice a day, eventually at a pretty good clip and was still able to run almost as fast as in the years when he'd routinely do runs in the 15-20 mile range.
On the other hand, Chris Wardlaw says the long run is the most important part of training.
I suppose if you want to cover all of your bases you'd keep a long run in each week. From there I'm not sure it matters all that much what you do as long as you do enough of it and get enough recovery. And you need to allow for personal circumstance and preference.
But you'll run better by running more (until you reach the point of diminishing return) and at some point you'll find that you can't run anymore miles in singles and still recover. At that point you can maintain higher volume and still recover by doing doubles. That is, there may not be a lot of difference in doing one or two runs on a nine mile "recovery" day. But it's much easier to recover from a couple seven or eight mile runs than from one fifteen.
Steve, to address your question on single vs. doubles person-to-person: I think it has to do with mental approach more than anything, but to an extent I think it touches on a person's ability to recover between bouts as well.ReplyDelete
I know plenty of people who hate doubles. I think getting into a rhythm twice is a big factor. I feel different the first 5 minutes of my late run as compared to my early run. I'd say it's almost stiffer but not tight. Alot of people may think this is making them MORE tired or less recovered b/c of this feeling. Similarly, if you get in an easy 10 and it's no biggie, even though you're legs took much more of a beating, its not visible for another 24 hours and by then they are possibly recovered enough to not notice.
I guess what it comes down to, for me at least, is the person's bias. Do they look at stiff legs as a short term [which it is] negative on recovery days? Do they ignore the fact that 70minutes on your feet at once provides much less actual recovery? It's all about what gets to you mentally and how you subconsciously pick up on the goods and the bads. We've talked about this alot on our team, some people just value different things and that leans them to doubles or sngles.
Also, I think that some people just recover differently. I can run 12 times a week and be fine, but to some people the frequency gets to them quickly. For me, it's volume and intensity (which is why I run 12 times a week and take ample recovery), but for others it might be frequency and volume, or frequency and intensity that do them in. Or maybe just frequency.
Thanks again for the comments. Love the input from others so that it's not just me spouting off my beliefs over and over.ReplyDelete
-Rich, once again, those examples make you reevaluate things. I'm not sure what the right conclusion is except there are many roads to Rome and that it is important to pay attention to your own individual adaptability to training.
I think, in general you find that the older/more mileage behind them, the less of a need for longer singles day after day, like the John Walker example shows.
Thinking in scientific terms for a second, I am betting that the high mileage, even if it is in split doubles accomplishes the goal of a long run for a marathoner to some degree. I mean b/c of the mileage you start your 2nd run partially glycogen depleted, so the 2nd run may mimic the effects of that long continuous run to a degree. But who really knows.
I really think you nailed it with basically run as much as you can however you like while still having the ability to recover. The key being, the ability to recover. Perhaps those who succeeded off not running more than an hour but did lots of doubles were able to succeed b/c if they did longer runs instead of split doubles they would not have recovered.
JK- Good points. Your individual nature plays a big roll.
I think the conclusion on singles/doubles for recovery days is do what allows the INDIVIDUAL to recover best for the main workouts.
Steve, it's nice to see somebody thinking about the possible benefits of multiple short runs a day (I've taken it to the extreme), I described my shedule here: http://bit.ly/d0dGAd (I'm E**2) along with a somewhat detailed explanation as to why I think multiple runs work.ReplyDelete

I think one major benefit of doing doubles that is fairly obvious is that it can allow you to fit in a day off while allowing you to retain mileage.ReplyDelete
While i was preparing for a marathon i began doubling once i was over 60 miles a week. and some days i would run the morning of a workout. Usually about 5 miles in the morning @ maybe 8 min pace or slower sometimes(38-42mins ). Then i would do my threshold or tempo runs in the afternoon or a hill workout. and i would hit 7-9 miles sometimes for a 12-14 mile day. On one easy day a week i would run just once barefooted or in vibrams five fingers for maybe 5 or 6 miles. Then the other rest days were 5-8 miles.
So i guess the main difference for me is that i was doing one run on my recovery days and then doubling on my workout days with an easy run that morning. I felt that it loosened up my legs for my afternoon workout.
I ended up getting injured during a 25k however so i never saw the long term benefits as i had only been running this way for a month and a half or so while following workout advice from Steve.
However i was impressed with the results. Only being a 16:06 5k, 9:55 3200, and 4:35 miler, I was happy with a 1:26:48 25k.
2 weeks before i ran 1:14:30 for a half marathon. I closed the last 13.1 of the 25k in just under 1:13
thanks Steve! Love the articles!

I don't know how current this thread/post is..but I'll try anyway.ReplyDelete
I have listened to Ken Young (the same) talk about the Collapse Point. His main point behind it is that the collapse point is the minimum needed mileage (built up over time) to acquire the necessary glycogen to finish the race. The low end for this 'theory' is around 10 miles and the top end is pretty open (he has tested it for ultras in the 40 mile range).
I enjoyed reading this post and I'll probably come back for more. I look forward to future topics.
- Anonymous1:50 PM
Man, I don't have any of the accounts to use my name on here. Anonymous, I'm going to be getting a bit off topic here, and I apologize if this could fit into a better post. But I couldn't help but notice in an earlier post the pattern for a typical week included only 2 workout type efforts. I've been debating the question of how many workouts is optimal with myself for some time now. I've always been injury prone, but I can handle relatively high mileage in the summer with the absence of challenging workouts. My collegiate team does 3, sometimes 2 and a race (during the XC season). I broke down bad my freshman year, and I'm almost certain I'd be better off doing more volume and less quality. Do the best programs in the country typically run less high end workouts per week? I know it comes down to what an individual can handle, and that the most aerobic gains are typically seen with 80 plus percent of training volume being low intensity, but in general is 2 hard efforts better than 3?ReplyDelete
p.s. I agree tremendously about 2 a days. It benefitted me enormously in high school. I only ran 20-30 mpw but I ran twice most days and had a reasonable amount of success
Steve and other commenters,ReplyDelete
I think what a lot of people fail to recognize in the debate between singles and doubles is the change in the nature of the stimulus that comes with running doubles instead of singles. If a runner runs singles, lets say the body has an around 24hrs to recover before the next run. But on doubles, the body may only have between 10-14hrs. Halving time your body has to rest and readjust before the next run is a HUGE stimulus.
Imagine a beginning runner switching from 3 days a week to 6-7 days a week, or adding a few extra days, all the while keeping the mileage the same. That runner is NOT going to instantly recover better - that runner will be receiving extra training stress until the body adjusts to recover more quickly. Experienced runners should expect the same.
Experienced distance runners are primarily concerned with gaining faster times, and is therefore primarily concerned with increasing the efficiency of the aerobic system. So experienced runners naturally spend most of their training to stress the aerobic system. But increasing the frequency of runs (with the same intensity, total distance, etc.) doesn't stress the ability of the aerobic system any differently, so there is no reason to think that it directly improves our aerobic system.
What running doubles actually does is stress the body's ability to recover more quickly, which signals the body to do just that - adapt enough to recover for a run every 10-14 hours instead of every 24 hours.
The main implications of this (that I can see) is that if a runner conditions his body to recover more quickly from easy runs (given the same total mileage), then that runner may be able to recover more quickly and more fully from the intervals and tempos that stress the aerobic system, allowing more benefit from each workout, and possibly more frequent or higher intensity workouts in a given training week/cycle.
The best application for doubles is in the early season/buildup phase, ideally summer for cc runners, and to maintain it through the rest of the season (thereby maintaining your body's ability to recover more quickly). There is a common rule of thumb for safely building mileage - don't increase distance and intensity of runs in the same week - likewise, you should only increase distance, intensity, OR frequency of runs in the same week.

Not much more to say here besides I still HEART Natural Ana. She's obviously wearing some makeup but it's not overdone and her hair isn't blown out Bozo-style. And, ironically enough, her wannabe sex-kitten ways are nowhere to be found here *phew* yet I think it's the sexiest I've ever seen her.

Students DARE to say 'no' to drugs
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
Army Flier
Fort Rucker, AL | November 7, 2013
Students from three fifth grade classes pledge to say no to drugs, alcohol and peer pressure as they join a long legacy of Fort Rucker Elementary School students that have gone through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program.
More than 65 students graduated Tuesday from the 10-week program, during which the children learned about adversity, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, peer pressure and bullying, according to Spc. Susan Stone, Fort Rucker's DARE officer.
"The DARE program is about teaching children at a young age that they can say 'no' to drugs, and not just drugs, but pressures in general," said Stone. "If they aren't experiencing it now, they will. We're just giving them the tools that they can utilize to say 'no.'"
Throughout the program, the children participated in exercises to get to know each other, learned how to talk with adults that they trusted, and learned to work and help each other when needed.
Drug abuse is a serious issue that continues to cause serious problems in our society," said Marcel Dumais, Fort Rucker chief of police. "The DARE program that all of these young people have just completed will hopefully pay big dividends as they grow up into their teens and through adulthood."
Dumais said that DARE is not only about teaching students about drugs and alcohol, but about what being grown up is all about. He said it's about not giving into peer pressure, making the right decisions and learning to cope with life's problems in a positive way.
Dumais also said that DARE is as much for the parents as it is for the students, because parents need to be involved in their children's lives in order for them to grown into responsible adults.
"For the parents, I ask that they follow some of the tips from this program," he said. "Educate yourself on drug and alcohol abuse so that you have the necessary tools to talk with (your children) and answer their questions."
Students were also tasked with writing an essay on what they learned throughout the program from ways to stop bullying to assessing a situation, and Stone said she was taken aback and almost brought to tears by some of the results.
"The essays were just phenomenal," she said. "They all did amazing and I wasn't expecting the results I got, and it was nice to see that a lot of them (included) me in their essays. It was a really good feeling."
"The essays were so touching," said Vicki Gilmer, FRES principal. "The depth of knowledge that they learned in those 10 weeks is phenomenal and well worth the investment."
A winner was chosen from each class and awarded an E-reader and special recognition for their accomplishment. The winners from each class were: Alyssa Griffith, from Jennifer Kincaid's class; Kellan Sloan, from Stacey Poarch's class; and Riley Little, from Suzette Hilton's class.
Little was more than happy to win and said he only wrote about the things he learned – lessons he won't soon forget.
"It makes me feel awesome (to win)," said Little. "I learned a lot about saying 'no' and making better choices."
Little's father, CW2 Brandon Little, Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment, was in the crowd to watch his son receive the award, and said he couldn't be more proud of his son.
"I didn't realize what a big program this is, but I'm really happy to see that he's learned a lot from it," he said. "It's exciting to see how well he's done in the program.
"He's always done well in school and the DARE program has changed a lot since I was in school, so when he came home and told me he was writing and essay for DARE, I didn't really think much of it," continued Brandon. "When I came here and saw everything that they're doing with the program, I could see that it's changed a lot."
The DARE program is the nation's largest and most successful drug prevention program, said Dumais, and the unique thing about the program is that it is taught by police officers.
"We want our young people, as well as parents, to know that they can turn to their local community police officers if they need help or advice," said the police chief during the ceremony. "We want our children to grow up in a community free from the influences of alcohol and other crimes, and I hope (these lessons) will stay with you for the rest of your lives."

I got the hat ss a gift and I love it . I wear cowboy hats regularly but in really hot weather, I use this . Scout camp, hiking, riding and out in my yard working. Its keeps me cool. When I soak it in a sink with cold water, it is very cooling. It does evaporate eventually. If you can, wet it down and throw it in a cooler or a freezer for a few minutes. It will get your body temp down fast.
It is really cool

when sunny and hot. suggest to carry extra bottle cold water to "refill" if stay outdoor too long.I even wear it while driving, cutting A/C (thus gas cost)
WOW is this nice!

See all my reviews
I purchased this hat to wear around the house and yard for light work around the pool, etc. I liked the idea of being able to get it wet and have it help keep me cool. I have not gotten it soaked yet, but did get rain on it. So far so good. I wore it to an afternoon business casual wedding and got a ton of compliments and requests for where to get one. That was a good sign, and it looked good with the attire for the day. I have found that it is not comfortable in the car for driving as it hits the headrest, and it is a little warmer than I would like. Once you are out and walking around, it is very nice to have in the sun.

I use the product to stay cool when I work in the yard or lounge in the pool. It is a great product and I had to buy another one as my wife tried it out and liked it so well she kept it! She also looks great in it !
This hat worked so good I bought another
By The fisherman
from Alberta, Canada
My husband used it on his fishing trip in Panama. He left it there for his friend and the fishing guide wanted to know where he got it. I ordered another one at my husbands request when we got home to Canada. He uses it all the time outside to keep cool and the sun off his head. A must have!

Best all around hat!
By kcat
from San Jose, CA
This hat is supremely stylish, comfortable and durable. Excellent evaporative cooling both dry and wet. Hat is also and crushable and packable -comes back looking great. Best of all, it always looks stylish whether using it while working outside on a hot summer day, taking a hike or going to the beach. Neck strap secures nicely against windy conditions but best of all, both my husband and I constantly get compliments for its stylish look - even goes well with a bathing suit while floating down a river!

WHEELING - Like most sports, hockey coaches often speak in cliches. More often than not it's just a way to get reporters out of their hair as quickly as possible, but I've found one that certainly fits the Wheeling Nailers: 'We need to get off to a quick start.''
The Nailers (15-13-6 - 36) don't seem to have much problem in that area when they're playing at WesBanco Arena. Wheeling has not lost in regulation in 12 games at home when leading after one, or in the nine games in which it has headed to the third period on the right side of the scoreboard.
Away from The Bank is a different story entirely.
Wheeling has led once all season after the first period on the road, and won that contest. But the Nailers have only been up three times on the road heading to the third, winning two of those and losing another in a shootout.
''We've come a long way in a short period of time and the team's faced a lot of adversity in a short period of time, losing some tough games and blowing some tough games,'' Nailers coach Clark Donatelli said. ''Learning the hard way is how you could say, I guess.
''It comes in strides and the guys are playing really well and getting healthier. We can't get too far up and we can't get too low. We've still got a long way to go.''
How far they go, will no doubt be tied to how they fare on opposition ice. Following Sunday's 3-1 loss at Reading, the Nailers are a dismal 2-10-3 away from home. In other words, they've gained seven of a possible 26 points.
This Week
It's yet to be seen how the lockout is going to affect Wheeling, but just about everyone is going to be in the same boat as far as scrambling to find players. The Nailers, though, have destiny in their hands beginning this weekend when they play three games inside WesBanco Arena.
On Friday and Saturday nights, Wheeling welcomes Atlantic Division-leading Reading to town for a pair of 7 p.m. games. At 2 on Sunday, the South Carolina Stingrays make their lone 2012-2013 visit to the Friendly City.
Friday is $1 Draft Beers / Wing Fest / Ticket Redemption Night. Fans can sample wings from local vendors and help select a grand champion. Saturday is Ronald McDonalds House Night with the Nailers and WesBanco T-Shirt Giveaway. Free Nailers T-Shirts will be given to the first 2,500 fans courtesy of WesBanco.
Finally, Sunday is Family Four-Pack and Skate With the Nailers. Family Four Pack includes four tickets, hotdogs and sodas for $54, and you can skate with the team following the game. Bring your skates and gloves.

text: On the Korosten' pluton a number of gabbro intrusions is situated and the deposits of apatite-(titanomagnetite)-ilmenite ores are connected with them. They are confined with first phase of pluton forming, which took place in palaeproterozoic stage of tectono-magmatic activation where on the East-European platform the volcanic plutonic belts existed. The general feature is penetration of magma injection as one-act process. The space which is occupied today by such bodies was filled by homogenous melt and material of enclosed rocks was eroded. Sometimes the sides of fracture were extended by intruded magma with forming of magmatic chamber. Later the slow hardening of melt begin and it is accompanied by the sedimentation on the bottom of the chamber of the basic plagioclases and partly of olivine. General for intrusions is the selection of crystalline fraction which took place as process of consecutive accumulation of crystalline sediment layers on the bottom of chamber by gravitation. The presence of flow signs are explained by convectional streams in chamber. Crystalline sediment appears near the walls of chamber. All bodies are characterized by the accumulation of leucocrate varieties near the bottom. The active deposition of ore minerals was in middle and upper zones. All titanium-bearing intrusions carry hidden rhythmic stratification which connected with changes of ore minerals relationships, TiO2 content on a cross-section. In massifs the Ti-P mineralization is accompanied by the aureoles of weak anomalous concentrations of Cr, Co, V and some chalcophile elements related to the minerals–concentrators of these elements: titanomagnetite, olivines, pyroxenes, sulfides. On the Ukrainian shield gabbro-syenites intrusions are explored also. A magma which intrusions appeared from belongs to the lime-alkaline type. Crystallization was in near-bottom parts under the high pressure and temperatures. Often forming of gabbro-syenites complexes shows two opposite tendencies which depend on conditions. Different acidic-reduction conditions lead to the growth in remaining crystallization products silica and alkalis simultaneously. Therefore the stage of crystallization of olivine and pyroxene with growth of partial pressure can be changed by the crystallization of magnetite and titanomagnetite. In lower zone there is such order of mineral accumulation in melanocratic gabbro: apatite+ilmenite+titanomagnetite+olivine+plagioclase+pyroxene+potash feldspar. In leucocrate rocks the plagioclase is a single cumulative phase. The interstitial phases are represented by titanous augite and potash feldspar. The potash feldspar with pyroxenes becomes a cumulative phase only in syenites. In such cases, the role of mantle fluides, which are enriched on SiO2 and alkalis, litophile elements, occurred also. At forming of leucocrate varieties the greater part of alumina, Ca and Na is extracted, there is enrichment on potassium and silica and syenites of upper zone form.

Hello everyone,
I'm proud to announce the first release of the FreeBSD Patchset for Zimbra. This patchset will allow you to compile and install Zimbra on a FreeBSD/i386 6.1-RELEASE or later host.
Work to port Zimbra to FreeBSD is sponsored by iXsystems (http://www.ixsystems.com).
Please read the instructions CAREFULLY before attempting the build!
The instructions can be read here:
The patch tarball can be downloaded here:
(NOTE: This project is NOT affiliated with PC-BSD.)
While the build and install steps have been extensively tested, there are still sharp corners. Please read the instructions and follow them EXACTLY!
These patches are distributed under the terms of the BSD license (2 clause version).
Before You Ask:
1) Can you supply prebuilt packages?
No. I'm not willing to sort out the licensing issues that distributing a binary build entails. If you have a moderately clean machine and can get the dependencies sorted out then the build should succeed, emitting binary packages that can be installed on another host.
2) Can I build and install Zimbra on the same host?
No. Zimbra must be built and installed on separate hosts because the build pollutes the Zimbra install directory. You can use a jail for the build step if you don't have a separate computer handy.
3) Can I install Zimbra into a jail?
Yes, but not currently recommended. Because of the peculiarities of jails the MySQL privilege tables end up allowing unsecured access to the database. I put some notes in the README about jail installs, however that setup has not been extensively tested and may have unresolved issues.
4) Can I install Zimbra on an amd64 host?
No, FreeBSD/amd64 is not supported in this patch.
If you have an issue or question not resolved here or in the README, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll try to help as best I can.

Michael Winter, USA TODAY
Despite confusion over their message and tactics, independent truckers seeking to impeach President Obama and pressure Congress are rolling ahead with a holiday weekend protest that aims to jam traffic around the nation's capital.
Organizers said sympathetic demonstrations by veterans and Tea Party supporters were also planned in various state capitals and on highway overpasses during the three-day "Ride for the Constitution."
A "few thousand" tractor-trailer drivers are expected to converge on the Capital Beltway on Friday afternoon from staging areas on Interstate 95 in Virginia and Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania, co-organizer and conservative activist Zeeda Andrews told The Washington Post.
Drivers plan to occupy three lanes of Interstate 495, driving 55 mph, with the fourth lane kept clear for emergency vehicles and supporters. Only motorists displaying the group's Twitter hashtag on their vehicles will be allowed to pass, Andrews and other organizers say, adding that the protest would be peaceful and lawful.
STORY: Truckers plan 3-day slowdown on D.C. Beltway
On Monday, a Georgia trucker handling logistics for Truckers Ride for the Constitution indicated otherwise, telling U.S. News that some of the anticipated 3,000 big rigs might grind to a halt if police intervened and that a trucker "grand jury" would attempt to arrest members of Congress. The group disavowed the comments by Earl Conlon and said he was not an official spokesman.
On Tuesday, The Washington Post declared that the truckers' plan was actually a "hoax," with Conlon telling the paper his comments were "designed to do one thing and one thing only: stir the feather of the mainstream media."
Andrews and supporters quickly denied that claim, but confusion persisted and trucker representatives criticized the ride.
"The individuals leading this particular effort have no direct affiliation with trucking and appear to be using truckers in order to gain media attention and air other political grievances," the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association said in a statement. "We do not support assembling in an unlawful, unpermitted manner, committing crimes, making threats on our lawmakers, or behaving in such a way to cast safe, professional truck drivers in a negative light."
A spokesman for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union told the Washington Times that the union has no involvement in or position on the protest.
The Virginia State Police said in a statement Thursday that it is "preparing accordingly with the region's law enforcement agencies and the Virginia Department of Transportation." Extra patrols will be on duty in Northern Virginia.
State police in Maryland and Pennsylvania did not respond to queries about their plans.
Trucker Earl Lee, a coordinator, told Fox News on Thursday that 10,000 truckers were headed to Washington.
In an earlier video for drivers, he said that convoys would leave at 7 a.m. Friday from Exit 98 on I-95 in Doswell, Va., and Exit 77 on I-81, near Hershey, Pa. They were expected to arrive in the D.C. area about 3 p.m.
Three, eight-hour driving shifts are planned, with a possibility that the protest would continue Monday, the Columbus Day holiday.
Lee cautioned drivers to obey all traffic laws.
"You got to stay legal; we don't want any illegal activity," he said, adding that "none of you guys want tickets or points on your CDL (commercial driver's license) either.
"We don't want any incidents, and no accidents," Lee said. "We want no negative coverage whatsoever."
Launched in September as "Truckers to Shut Down America" (T2SDA), the protest envisioned that "potentially hundreds of thousands of truckers and millions of citizens" would come to Washington in a "very symbolic display of solidarity" to "restrore our Constitutional Republic." As word spread through Twitter and Facebook, the group changed the event's name but kept the hashtag.
The truckers have a long list of grievances and outrages. Most are political with some focused on trucking issues, including wages, fuel costs and regulations. On Friday, they will present a list of "U.S. Citizens demands" to U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, at the National World War II Memorial.
Andrews, the co-organizer, is a Tennessean, former country music singer and conservative patriot who lives in Jacksonville. She has actively called for Obama to be impeached.
On Tuesday night, she promoted the event on Fox News and Glen Beck's The Blaze.
"We want the president of the United States removed from office," she told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "He's a threat to our national security, he's a threat to our way of life, he's a threat to our future generations."
A fundamentalist Christian, Andrews has said she opposes Islam and believes the president is a Muslim and "the Antichrist." She also disputes official explanations for the Sept. 11 and Boston Marathon terror attacks.
The liberal group Media Matters for America has more on Andrews and some of her views.
USA TODAY attempted to interview Andrews on Thursday but could not reach her as she headed to Washington.
The official spokesman for the trucker's ride is Pete Santilli, an Internet broadcaster and conspiracy theorist. He gained some notoriety in May when he said on the Guerilla Media Network that "we need to try, convict and shoot Hillary Clinton in the vagina" for what he claims was the "fake hunt down" of Osama bin Laden during which all the Navy SEALs involved allegedly were killed.

Bassmasters club holds first open tournament
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
The Marion County Bassmasters club held its first open tournament last Saturday. Plenty of bass were caught at Rodman Reservoir, including a pair of 10-plus pounders.
Father and son duo Dale and Stoney Jackson from Ocala won the 39-boat event with a five-fish bag of 22.01 pounds.
Paul Akridge caught the biggest bass of the day out of the 73 anglers entered. His 10.5-pounder was a bit heavier than Troy Mann's 10.2-pounder.
"There were a lot of big fish caught out there," club secretary Daniel Tillis said. "We had bags of 22 (pounds) to 20 to 17, then down to 15 and 14 and some in the 11- and 10-pound range. We were able to pay out the top nine boats, so it was a good day."
Marion County Bassmasters, in its third year, was formerly known as the Have Fun Bass Tournament Trail. The club meets the first Friday of each month at Gander Mountain (junior meeting at 6 p.m., adults at 7 p.m.).

Florida Highway Patrol Release
On February 4, 2013, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper stopped a silver colored Chevrolet Impala traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 near Mile Marker 212 for a window tint violation.
Upon stopping the vehicle, the trooper noticed the odor of raw marijuana emitting from inside the vehicle.
A probable cause search of the vehicle yielded two large vacuum sealed bags of marijuana weighing a total of 2.2 pounds that were
found in the trunk.
Also located within the vehicle were two loaded firearms, cocaine, and ecstasy.
There was also a large sum of American currency, estimated to be between $120,000 and $150,000, located throughout the vehicle including underneath the hood.
Both subjects were charged with possession of marijuana over 20 grams, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The two subjects were arrested and taken to the Leon County Jail.

We've run into a problem with the t-mobile devices ('smart'phones)
The bosses phone frequently gets a new IP (about once a week, I guess) and it usually hits one of the RBLs we have implemented.
I followed the instructions at Improving Anti-spam system - Zimbra :: Wiki
and edited /opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl
The wiki article is presenting and using a /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_rbl_override but a
shows /opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl, so that's what I've been editing using the following format:Code:postconf |grep smtpd_recipient_restrictions
Edit: I've noticed that neither /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_rbl_override nor /opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl
have any reject lines in them as per the wiki article. Could this be an/the issue?
and then
but he's still being caught with the log message:Code:postmap /opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl zmmtactl restart
What I'd prefer to do is whitelist the entirety of *.tmodns.netCode:blocked using cbl.abuseat.org;
I know it's pretty broad but it's a pain to have to edit this every damned Monday just to email from his smartphone.

I appreciate any help on this issue.
Thank you for your time.
Edit: Mon Sep 30, 2013 - 12:28:35 PM EDT
I checked /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_recipient_restrictions.cf
and it has the reject lines I'm expecting but is referencing
so I have moved the whitelisted IPs in /opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl into it and bounced with zmmtactl restart.
I'd still like to whitelist the entirety of *.tmodns.net
so I'm thinking an entry of
tmodns.net OK
will be OK?
Edit: Mon Sep 30, 2013 - 12:41:30 PM EDT
check_client_access hash:/opt/zimbra/conf/allow_rbl
Should I change this to /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_rbl_override ???
Sorry for the running dialog, I'm a bit confused on this subject.

Co-Founder of Notorious Anti-Immigrant Minutemen Group Arrested on Suspicion of Sexually Molesting Three Girls
Chris Simcox of the Minutemen once cried out against migrants for "jeering at little girls walking on their way to school."
June 20, 2013
Photo Credit: Phoenix Police Department
The co-founder of the Minutemen vigilante border patrol group, also a former kindergarten teacher, was arrested in Phoenix for allegedly molesting three girls, Reuters reports:
Simcox co-founded the Minutemen in 2002 with an announcement in a local paper headlined, Enough is Enough! A Public Call to Arms! In his call-to-arms, Simcox asked fellow anti-immigration activists to join his brigade to shame the government into doing its job patrolling the US-Mexico border. For 8 years, the group patrolled the border in southern Arizona, reporting suspected migrants to US Border Patrol.
Chris Simcox, 52, who co-founded the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps in 2005, was booked into a Maricopa County jail in connection with the molestation of three girls under the age of 10, said Sergeant Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix police spokesman.
Detectives with the department's Family Investigations Bureau developed "probable cause" that Simcox had sexual conduct with the girls during the past several months, Thompson said. No other details were immediately available.
Simcox has denied the allegations to police. It was not known if he had an attorney.
He faces two counts each of child molestation and sexual conduct with a minor, and one count of attempted child molestation.
As the Southern Poverty Law Center reported, this wont be the first time Simcox is accused of sexual misconduct with a minor. In 1998, his ex-wife Deborah Crews accused Simcox of molesting his 14-year-old daughter that he fathered with Crews. Although no charges were filed, the daughter broke off all communication with her father.
"He tried to molest our daughter when he was intoxicated," Crews told SPLC. "When she ran out, he tried to say he was just giving her a leg massage and she got the wrong idea."
Simcoxs alleged crimes directly contradict public rhetoric hes used regarding his anti-immigration activism. In a speech to the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, he cried out against undocumented immigrants for jeering at little girls walking on their way to school. In an interview, Simcox responded to accusations of racism with a foreshadowing of todays arrest: When they ask me, 'Well, what do you have to say to people who call you a racist?' I come back at them with, 'What do you have to say to people who call you a child molester?'"
