Republican legislators filed a lawsuit against Ohio's two-year, federally funded Medicaid expansion after Republican Gov. John Kasich went through the Controlling Board, an obscure seven-member legislative panel, instead of the Republican-controlled Ohio House and Senate to get approval for the expansion. The lawsuit, filed to the Ohio Supreme Court, claims, "Each representative is disenfranchised in his legislative capacity through the Controlling Board's exercise of legislative authority." Kasich put his request to the Controlling Board to bypass the legislature after months of unsuccessfully wrangling legislators in his own party to approve the expansion. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would insure between 300,000 and 400,000 Ohioans through fiscal year 2015; if legislators approve the expansion beyond that, the institute says it would generate $1.8 billion for Ohio and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade.
Meanwhile, some state senators plan to use the savings from the Medicaid expansion to cut taxes. For Ohioans making up to $50,000 a year, the 4-percent income tax cut would mean annual savings of less than $50.
State officials haven't inspected southwest Ohio jails for five years, which means the jails could be breaking minimum standards set by the state without anyone knowing. The inspections were supposed to occur each year, but a lack of resources, which left only one inspector in the department, forced the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) to stop the practice and instead ask jails to inspect themselves — with limited checks on jails fabricating claims. The inspections are starting back up now that ODRC has a second jail inspector on its staff, but the inspections are announced beforehand, meaning jails can plan for them, and the punishment for failing to meet standards is historically unenforced.
State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, says he will introduce two amendments to walk back controversial provisions of an even more controversial bill that weakens Ohio's renewable energy and efficiency standards. Critics say the bill would water down and effectively eliminate Ohio's cost-saving energy standards, but Seitz, who has ties to a national conservative group that opposes energy standards, argues the rules impose too many costs on utility companies. A previous study from Ohio State University and Ohio Advanced Energy Economy found repealing the standards would increase Ohioans' electricity bills by $3.65 billion over the next 12 years. CityBeat covered Seitz's proposal and the controversy surrounding it in further detail here.
City Solicitor John Curp and Ohio Ethics Commission Executive Director Paul Nick said in an Oct. 22 email exchange that it was ethically OK for Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls to retain her job as a realtor and vote in support of the streetcar project, even though the project could indirectly benefit Qualls by increasing property values — and therefore her compensation as a realtor — along the route. The exchange was provided to CityBeat and various media outlets after mayoral candidate John Cranley criticized Qualls, who is also running for mayor, for the alleged ethical violation at an Oct. 22 press conference. But Curp and Nick, who cited two previous opinions from the Ohio Ethics Commission, agreed that Qualls' financial connection to property values was too indirect and speculative because she only picks up a flat fee for the "arms-length transactions between private parties." Curp also noted that Qualls had asked about the potential ethical conflict two times before.
A state prison in Toledo is no longer accepting new inmates after reports of increasing violence. The goal is to cut down on the amount of prisoners sharing a cell, ODRC spokeswoman JoEllen Smith told The Associated Press. Smith said the change was already in the works before a recent bout of killings. The facility holds roughly 1,300 prisoners, which is close to capacity.

The Hamilton County Jail charges its inmates a fee for incarceration, and a new report from the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU) suggests the practice harms low-income inmates and raises little money for the county. CityBeat got an exclusive early look at the report, which scrutinized three counties for their pay-to-stay policies. Among the three samples, Hamilton County had the second lowest fees and did the second least harm to low-income people, according to the report. Although the ACLU was hopeful the report and the election of a new sheriff would inspire some change, Hamilton County officials told CityBeat that no changes are planned.
The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday struck down the federal ban on same-sex marriage, and some local and state leaders had a few things to say about it. The reactions seem to vary depending on a partisan basis, with Republicans in opposition and Democrats in favor.

City Council yesterday approved funding and accountability measures for the Cincinnati streetcar project and funding for development at Fourth and Race streets, which will include a downtown grocery store. The streetcar measures close the project's $17.4 million budget gap by issuing more debt and pulling funding from various capital projects, including infrastructure improvements around the Horseshoe Casino. The accountability measures, which were initially introduced by Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, require the city manager to update City Council with a timeline of key milestones, performance measures, an operating plan, staffing assessments and monthly progress reports.

Hi Zenram!
Have some rep for posting several maps.
I like this one. Good use of textures and colors. It's still a bit empty though and the large pedestals (with the spiders on top) are pretty blurry.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Nicely done, I think the only thing I would possible change is to lessen the shadows a bit. They seem quite 'intense'.

Looks really good.
Few suggestions, I think may help.
1. Add a Bevel Effect to the Walls to make them stand out a little.
2. I agree with Steel General, Less the shadows a little, not muc, just a little bit.
3. Apply an inside glow on the floor. This will create a slight shadow effect where the floors and the walls meet.
4. At the bottom of your map, Just above and to the right of the word DEMONWEB, I can see that you use the STRAIGHT PATH tool when drawing your map, and you map the walls a single path. To fix this use the FRACTALISE tools to the Left of the screen TOOLS. Right Click on the button, and choose PATH TO POLY tool. This will 'close' the path to a single POLYGON and join the two edges.
To see some examples of some CC3 made Dungeons look for the SHADOWFELL, THUNDERSPIRE, PYRAMID OF SHADOWS, and TROLLHAUNT maps. These maps all have examples of CC3 produced maps.
Good Luck!

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
1. Yes, i did it when i only have the CC3, and i follow pretty much the original one, so i got the objets from other sources and i could not put my hands in a good pedestal, maybe i should had use blur.
2. Yeha, i like the shadows a lot, so maybe i over use them XD
3. Yes, i know now, i now know the DD3 tutorial XD.
4. Nodes is one of my problems, im used to Corel and this CAD thing is a pain in the ass to me, but im learning, i will see those map samples XD
*As you sure notice, english is not my nature language so i beg your pardon if i dont write it correctly.

WHEELING - It seems as though the ECHL schedule makers don't like it when you mess with their schedule. That was the word handed down to the Wheeling Nailers on Tuesday.
Bus problems made it impossible for the club to make it to Kalamazoo last Saturday night, so that game has to be made up a later date. That turned out to be Sunday, March 24 - or roughly 21 hours after the Nailers finish up their second straight game in Trenton the night before.
''That's a little 12-hour jaunt and a little over 700 miles in a stretch where we have a lot of games,'' Wheeling coach Clark Donatelli said after practice Tuesday at WesBanco Arena.
''We're going to have to deal it.''
What exactly will the Nailers be 'dealing with?'
For starters, the Kalamazoo game begins the final week of the regular season, and it will close a 3-in-3 weekend, and a stretch of four games in five nights. Depending upon how you choose to look at it, Wheeling ends the season playing 27 games in 52 days, or seven in 11, or even 10 in 16.
But back to the bus incident. The Nailers were stranded in Ohio beginning at roughly around 2 a.m. Saturday morning.
''We had roadside come out and try to check it out. By the time we knew it, it was 4:30-5 a.m. and it was hard to get buses.,'' Donatelli said. ''Being it was the Super Bowl and all, it was tough trying to find drivers and so forth.
''It's unfortunate that it happened. The bus company is a really good company and I think they supply four or five teams in the league.
''They're a class act.''
This Week
Unless you're a diehard Nailers fan, you might find this next fact a bit difficult to believe. After Saturday night, Wheeling doesn't play another game at The Bank the rest of February.
That's the way it has traditionally gone during the years during this month, though.
But the Nailers have an opportunity to make up some ground this week in terms of the Eastern Conference standings. Gwinnett, which is three points out of the top spot in the South Division and is coached by former Wheeling assistant John Wroblewski, comes to town Thursday night, while Atlantic Division-leading Reading, the top team in the conference, is back in town Saturday.
The Nailers are nine points back of the Gladiators in the race for the fourth spot in the conference and home-ice advantage in the first round, but have four games in hand. Wheeling trails the Royals by 17 and it seems unrealistic to expect it to overcome that deficit.
''Gwinnett (is) a very hard-working team with 'Wrobo' coaching them. They're probably the hardest-working team we'll have to play against,'' Donatelli said. ''They like to push the pace a lot, they're very good defensively and they're pretty disciplined.
''They play a hundred percent or they don't play.''
Defense Help Coming?
Peter Merth and Adam Ross were on the ice Tuesday in red, no-contact jerseys. Both defensemen have been dealing with long-term injuries, but could soon be ready to return to action.
''I think the target date, knock on wood, should be for the Greenville trip,'' Donatelli said. ''Both guys should be ready to go sometime during that stint.''
That could be anywhere between Feb. 14-27 during the Nailers' season-long eight-game road trip.
Keven Veilleux isn't injured, but is schedule to return from a 10-game suspension Sunday in Elmira.

Back in the Heartland, Michael Annett Tallies 16th Place Finish at Kansas Speedway
Posted by: lori on Oct 04, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Kansas City, Kan. (October 4, 2010) – In his 65th career NASCAR Nationwide Series start, Germain Racing driver Michael Annett powered his No. 15 Pilot Flying J Coffee Toyota to a 16th place finish in Saturday's Kansas Lottery 300. In his second Nationwide Series start at Kansas Speedway, Annett began the 200 lap battle with all the pieces in place for a solid finish in the Sunflower State.
After starting 26th, the 24-year-old Midwest native drove over 65 laps under green flag conditions, gaining valuable track position before the first yellow flag was thrown. Pitting under green on lap 54 for four new Goodyear's, fuel and air pressure adjustments, Annett made his second trip to pit road under caution on lap 68. Pushing towards the front of the pack, Annett restarted 10th on lap 71.
Caution number two of eight was called on lap 76 for debris, and the No.
15 Pilot Flying J Coffee Toyota Camry returned to pit road for a fuel top-off and chassis adjustment. The field was back under green on lap 81, and Annett remained in 10th.
The yellow flag was again displayed on lap 89. Annett made a pit stop for four fresh tires, fuel and another chassis adjustment to improve his tight handling race car. He restarted 18th with just over 100 laps remaining.
Running 13th, a fourth caution came out and Germain Racing crew chief Ryan Fugle opted for Annett to stay out on the track while the majority of the field came to pit road for four tires and fuel. Fugle's call not only allowed Annett to lead the field to the green for the restart, but as the first place car for five laps of competition, he earned five bonus points.
Looking to tally a solid finish under the Pilot Flying J Coffee banner, Annett was running in fifth when a flat tire caused his car to get loose coming off of turn four, spinning and tagging the wall with the right rear corner of the car. With moderate damage to the car, Fugle directed Annett to pit road where he drove through twice for repairs. First for four tires, fuel and to assess the damage, and second for more repairs.
Not letting the mishap get the best of his day, Annett restarted 23rd on lap 137 and continued to rework his way forward. Running caution-free until lap 189, Annett stayed out while the leaders pitted from lap 175 to
179 under green, and his No. 15 Pilot Flying J Coffee Toyota Camry was eighth at the drop of the next yellow. Making their final trip to pit road, the No. 15 pit crew refueled, changed four tires and made wedge and track bar adjustments before the restart on lap 194.
The caution was back out on the restart, leaving the field with a green, white, checkered flag finish to the 200 lap Nationwide Series Kansas Lottery 300. Annett drove through the checkers in 16th.
The No. 15 Germain Racing team will now head to the west coast for the Nationwide Series CampingWorld.com 300 at California Speedway. With only six races to go, tune to ESPN 2 and MRN Radio to catch the 30th Nationwide Series race of the season at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 9.

A gap in the city's hurricane response, and a volunteer army's attempt to fill it
Follow: feed
On November 6, eight days after Hurricane Sandy's surge waters flooded the streets, I started volunteering in the Rockaways, where I stayed for much of the next three weeks.
On that first day, I joined an ad hoc group of volunteers and took a school bus full of supplies donated by my Brooklyn neighbors out to a church on Beach 67th Street. Unloading the bus alongside parishioners at the Battalion Pentecostal church I learned that it was the first shipment they had received for the immediate area since the storm, and that aside from the traffic cops waving cars through and a National Grid trailer parked in the church lot, there was still no official presence in the neighborhood.
The donations we brought were being carried away even before the last of them was off the bus, as word spread through the row houses that lined the block. The mother of a disabled girl carried a box of canned food to her powerless apartment and came back to ask for more. Her fridge and cupboards were already emptied.
The other volunteers and I took the empty bus back to Brooklyn to refill it with more supplies and return later that day. On the drive back, only a mile away from the church, I saw a supermarket parking lot with truckloads of donated material guarded by police and national guardsmen. The people around the church, many of whom lost their cars in the flood, had no way to get the supplies from the parking lot back to their homes, which was incidental since most of them, cut off from any news that didn't pass by mouth, didn't even know that the goods were there.
On my second day in the Rockaways I took some time to drive around and see how things were in other neighborhoods, looking for places like the church on 67th Street that were not yet being helped. I found that at the St. Francis de Sales church in Belle Harbor, on 129th Street, some supplies were already being turned away, as boxes had filled the large main hall and were now overflowing into additional rooms to accommodate the constant influx of donations.
Several days later I returned to Francis de Sales to ask that they send food to an apartment complex I had found on the tip of the peninsula near Nassau county, where hundreds of elderly residents were living without heat or power, rationing canned goods and prescription medicine. An Australian volunteer at the church told me that he would take care of it, and while I believed he meant it, I also knew that he might be gone the next day, back to work or to his life outside volunteering.
No one was keeping track.
There is a city agency charged with just that: the Office of Emergency Management (O.E.M.). Emergencies are, by definition, chaotic, and the office is there to do two things: to compile block-by-block information into a unifying big picture, and to ensure responders and resources are allocated in accordance with that picture. In short: triaging, first understanding needs, and then prioritizing among them. But O.E.M. was conspicuously absent while I was in the Rockaways, and according to volunteers and officials I spoke with while reporting this story.
Trying to get people food and basic supplies took up much of my first week in the Rockaways, and yet there was no problem with scarcity. The city spent close to $3 million for food and water distribution and, as of November 26, had distributed over 2 million meals, while donations poured in from New York and out-of-state charities.
Individuals and small groups were doing their best to attend to immediate need, but the lack of direction was acute, resulting in a feast-or-famine situation that varied block by block.
I visited the parking lot where I had seen the trucks of supplies parked and asked if they could be moved to the under-served church on 67th Street but the National Guardsman posted there explained apologetically that taking supplies neighborhood-to-neighborhood, a more effective manner of distribution, didn't match their orders.
Though city officials had been working hard since even before the storm struck, one thing they weren't doing was taking control of the situation on the ground, canvassing neighborhoods to determine needs and directing services and supplies accordingly. Nor, since they may not have enough staff to do this all themselves, were they effectively organizing and commanding the hodge-podge of official and unofficial groups and the steady stream of volunteers attempting to make themselves useful.
Relief supplies managed by the city were being delivered to a handful of centralized points without much of a plan for getting them to the people in need, even as the National Guard and the many volunteers looked for ways to help.
Some volunteer groups had identified this issue early on and attempted to deal with it, on their own, in various ways.
Some drove around with supplies until they found people who obviously needed them, and some groups like Occupy Sandy and Save the Rockaways used social media and web presence to post alerts identifying where food and volunteers were needed.
Team Rubicon, a veteran-led relief group, took things even further, using a computer program called Palantir to create an annotated map of conditions in the Rockaways and by stepping up to fill the leadership vacuum. Palantir is a data visualization platform used by the military and intelligence agencies to track and analyze the information gathered from complex environments. It can be highly effective but ultimately relies on human users inputting information gathered from the field.
The group was initially collecting handwritten work orders and reports on local conditions from team members and local residents to track what work was ongoing and what remained to be done. The task of gathering intelligence and feeding into a single model, whether by writing on a map or using a digital database, is a basic pre-condition for conducting any complex operation—you need to understand an environment in order to address its problems. Once they had Palantir added to their system, Team Rubicon could take any report and add it to their database to create a single fluid model of conditions on the ground.
When they first arrived in the Rockaways Team Rubicon intended to be a labor force moving supplies and shoveling out flooded basements. But as the crisis dragged on and more volunteers began arriving in the thousands without any government agency directing their work, Rubicon's leaders shifted their priorities. Rather than doing all the shoveling themselves, they organized the incoming volunteers into small groups with one Rubicon member assigned to each as a team leader, and dispatched the groups to fill the hundreds of work orders that they had compiled through their canvassing.
As effective as Team Rubicon's approach was, their reach was limited by their size and the fact that they were only one group among many without any official authority to direct overall efforts. Rubicon's methodology, collecting and centralizing information in order to coordinate actions, could have been used by the city and implemented on a larger scale and in fact is precisely the approach outlined in the city's own emergency relief protocols. But, over a month after the hurricane hit, the city's relief effort still lacks the crucial aspect that has been missing from the start—an effective overhead body leading operations.
Information management is not just an issue for the next emergency: inefficiencies and failures are still occurring because different volunteer groups are not forced to share information and none of them, despite their working relationships, are really on the same page as the city. As one official in a volunteer group that worked with the city during relief efforts put it, "The city had the intel arms in place, the volunteer groups out in the neighborhoods, but they had no system to receive our reports."
When the city finally started to use volunteer groups for canvassing, it appears to have done so only at the urging of those groups, long after the storm hit.
A Times article details the city housing authority's failure to properly account for and provide relief to city residents, many of them elderly and unable to evacuate, stuck for weeks in buildings without power or heat. Almost two weeks after the storm, the city called on volunteer groups to go door to door in public housing in Coney Island, surveying to establish how many thousands were stuck in the buildings and what their immediate needs were.
Responding to complaints from volunteers about the city's lack of leadership in those relief efforts, Nazli Parvizi, the city's commissioner for community affairs, is quoted in the Times piece saying that the she didn't want to disturb the volunteers' good work by taking control of the situation.
According to Parvizi, "I wasn't here to change that narrative [of volunteers leading while the city played a supporting role]. I was asking them, 'What do you need?'"
Give Parvizi credit for being honest and not pretending, as many officials have, that the city was aggressively leading relief operations.
The task of coordinating the efforts of various government agencies, volunteers and non-governmental organizations, and providing an overarching structure for emergency response, is precisely what New York City's Office of Emergency Management (O.E.M.) was created to do.
On its website O.E.M. lists "on-scene coordination" as one of the core responsibilities it assumes an emergency. Yet it was only seen sporadically in the hardest-hit parts of the city—including the Rockaways, Staten Island and Coney Island—and was entirely absent from the wave of city-official-sourced tick-tocks and other stories.
Founded in 1996 by an executive order from Rudy Giuliani, the office effectively took responsibility for emergency planning and response away from the NYPD and gave it directly to the mayor's office, reportedly to the displeasure of Howard Safir, who was the police commissioner at the time.
In 2001 after becoming its own independent department outside of the mayor's office and proving its worth in the eyes of many by its response to the attacks of 9/11, O.E.M. seemed to have justified its founding mission and earned an enduring presence. But things changed when Bloomberg was elected and Ray Kelly returned to take over the NYPD. According to multiple sources and news accounts, Kelly, like Safir before him, saw O.E.M. as an affront to the primacy of the police department's role in ensuring public safety and pressured the mayor to marginalize the organization.

This has the most incredible scent - ALL my clients love it!
I had to wait 6 weeks to receive a gallon of this lotion for it was backordered but I do love it, as do my clients. Smells fresh and clean.
Wonderful product. Fan favorite amongst clientele and me! I'm an Esthetician and love this product. Not too heavy or greasy.
Amber geranium sage massage lotion works!!! It gives a perfect glide to a massage and it smells great. One thing I noticed is that it does not go rancid. In the past I noticed a lot of other brands, the lotions and oils start to smell rancid. Not this product its aroma is fresh everytime and no matter how long I keep it. The oil content is just enough for a perfect glide without the oily residue left behind on the sheets like other products. Finally a product that does not stain the sheets. AMBER is my favorite lubricant
According to the label on the bottle, this lotion is intended only for deep tissue work. It says, "(list of ingredients) to provide a soothing, uplifting deep-tissue massage when the glide of oils and creams do not allow for the firm manipulation you need. Excellent for massaging deep, knotted muscles or trigger points. This formulation provides a non-greasy texture for better friction and less glide."
For a deep tissue massage, this may rate more stars, but it doesn't have the glide I was looking for.

|HHS tracksters bring home five golds
|Written by Darci Tomky
Facing strong winds and chilly temperatures, the HHS track team traveled to Yuma to compete at the pre-qualifier meet on Tuesday, April 28.
"Of course it was bitterly cold all day, but the kids did well despite the conditions," said coach Sandra Rahe.
"We have several athletes that are fractions of seconds away from qualifying times," she said, "but because of the weather, specifically the wind, it makes it that much harder to qualify."
While the tracksters may not have qualified to compete at the state track meet, Rahe noted several are getting better each week and breaking their personal bests.
Rahe said, "We are entering the 'home stretch,' and I am excited to watch the kids perform well at league and regionals."
The Dragons brought home five gold medals and had several other top finishers at Tuesday's meet.
In sprint races, Marissa Smith finished first in both the 100 and 200 meter dash while HHS long-distance runner Jeremy Loutensock ran for a first place finish in the 1600 meter run. The trackster also came in second in the 800 and 3200 meter runs.
Once again reaching state-qualifying distances, Kyle Carper claimed first place in both the long and triple jump field events. He also brought home two silver medals in the 200 and 400 meter dash races.
Heather Duester, Mallory Bennett, Marci Vasa and Smith earned second place honors in the girls' 4x200 meter relay. The same team grabbed third place in the 4x100 meter relay.
Third place medals were also earned by Alex Quintana in the 110 and 300 meter hurdles as well as the relay team of Phawn Carper, Patricia Adams, Emma Adams and Ella Stewart in the 4x110 yard throwers' relay.
Finishing with 63.5 points, the girls placed fifth at the Yuma meet. Team scores in order of ranking included Wray with 141.5 points, Akron 138, Yuma 102, Merino 77, Holyoke 63.5, Otis 40, Caliche 34, Liberty (Joes) 26, Haxtun 22, Woodlin 21, Hi-Plains 19, Idalia 14, Lone Star 5 and Arickaree 3.
Holyoke boys earned fourth place with 85 points. Other team scores in order of placing included Merino with 112 points, Yuma 100, Wray 94, Holyoke 85, Hi-Plains 83, Otis 53.5, Akron 53, Caliche 35, Idalia 22.4, Haxtun 17, Arickaree 11, Woodlin 7 and Lone Star 3.

Over there & over there
With a seemingly endless cycle of deployments, Fort Hood, Texas, endures more Iraq War deaths than any other American installation. The toll is wearying and produces a different kind of casualty at home: "All I do is go to Iraq, come back from Iraq, and get ready to go to Iraq again."
In a tree-starved patch of Texas Hill Country, a Bradley Fighting Vehicle surges three meters across chalky soil and fires its Bushmaster chain gun. A resonant boom splits the air, and elsewhere on the training range, even veteran soldiers glance instinctively over their shoulders at the dark plume of smoke arcing across the summer sky.
The sound of the Bradley's 25mm gun is unique, soldiers will tell you. Not the low blast of a tank or artillery round. Not the popcorn of rifles. The Bradley's gun commands attention with a round, baritone thunder that pulses into your gut at 100 yards away.
On the range, there's no forgetting where you are, even if you close your eyes and lay back atop an idling Bradley as one soldier has done. Earplugs help block the noise of the guns, but not the concussion. Your Kevlar body armor and bulky helmet weigh you down and make you sweat. The air itself is a bellicose cocktail of cordite, diesel, and chalk. You can taste it when you breathe.
Soldiers can squeeze shut their eyes and shut off their ears, but the sensations of battle creep in through the cracks. Even at home, they are at war.
For four years, Fort Hood has operated as a virtual revolving door for Iraq, with its major units, the Army's 4th Infantry and 1st Cavalry divisions, in and out of the shooting war in relentless rotation. Sprawling across 340 square miles in central Texas, the post is the nation's largest military installation. In 2006, it earned another distinction: More Fort Hood warriors have died in Iraq than from any other U.S. installation.
Between January and November 2006, Fort Hood units lost 235 men and women-nearly two-thirds of the post's fatality total for the entire war. Just since WORLD began preparing this story three weeks ago, 16 new names have appeared on the Pentagon's tally of the dead, raising Fort Hood's Iraq toll to 370 as of May 23.
Together, the spiraling fatalities and seemingly endless cycle of deployments are producing at Fort Hood casualties of a different kind: Grief without healing time. Exhaustion without respite. And a penetrating war-weariness that is causing even some formerly gung-ho warriors to flag in spirit.
Sergeant Wesley Carter, for one, has seen enough fighting. The 7th Squadron/10th Cavalry soldier joined the Army in July 2003 straight out of high school and almost immediately shipped out for Iraq. He went there again in 2006 and will make a third tour this December.
"All I do is go to Iraq, come back from Iraq, and get ready to go to Iraq again," he said. "When I'm home, it's hard to enjoy doing the stuff I usually enjoy. I don't even look for a woman to date anymore. I know I'm just going back, so what's the point?" The mood is similar among many of Carter's peers, he says: "They don't want to go back to Iraq."
The 7/10 suffered mightily in 2006, once losing eight men over a three-day span last October. Carter said the worst day for him was Oct. 4, when four of his friends died in a firefight near Taji, about 20 miles north of Baghdad. Although he's only 22, Carter's voice is heavy with experience. He used to be an optimistic person, he says. "Now, I'm not. I drink more now, that kind of deal."
Asked to describe the scariest incident that he faced during two combat tours, he hesitates.
"I don't know," he says finally. "I can't really talk about it."
Does he mean that it's better if he doesn't talk about it?
"No, it's not that. There were so many I can't really pick out one. I came close to death several times."
Capt. Carson Green also feels he cheated death repeatedly during Iraq tours in 2003-04, and 2006, calling it "a matter of luck" that he wasn't killed. Now home at Fort Hood, he wonders how much longer his "luck" will hold.
"I think about it all the time," said Green, 26, of Cumby, Texas. "It's hard not to when you're seeing 1st Cavalry funeral processions going down the street." 1st Cav is the Fort Hood unit that's in Iraq now.
Indeed, Green holds his current job because another man died. On April 18, 2006, a bright, young West Point grad named Ian Weikel was killed by an IED. A rugby-playing, upbeat Christian who was revered by his men, Weikel wore a perpetual smile that sometimes made him seem a pushover-until a soldier made the mistake of having to find out otherwise.
Near midnight on the day Weikel died, the 7th Squadron commander summoned Green to his office. "He looked at me teary-eyed and said, 'I need you to step up and take charge of Ian's troop,'" Green remembers. "It was all kind of surreal, an unbelievable moment, to see this 42-year-old senior officer crying. He loved Ian. Ian was his right-hand man."
Later, Green sat down at Weikel's desk to see if he could pick up the thread of the fallen man's mission. "All his stuff was there, the way he'd left it. They had taken the notebook he carried in his pocket out of the vehicle. It was lying on the desk, covered in his blood."
Moments like that explain the contrasting attitudes of some division-level senior officers and some Fort Hood soldiers now prepping for their third stint in Iraq. "They're all fired up and ready to go back, and they wonder why you're not so fired up," Green said. "They're not the ones who were seeing it every day. They're not the ones having to pick up their soldiers' body parts off the side of the road."
Weikel's death hit the 7/10 hard, said his wife, Wendy Weikel, a former Army captain. The couple met at West Point during their junior year, married, and deployed to Iraq together in 2003. Mrs. Weikel left the service when she became pregnant. Her husband left for his second combat tour when their son, Jonathan, was 3 months old.
When her husband was killed early in the deployment, it not only devastated his family, it shocked his unit into a new reality, Mrs. Weikel said. "Ian was a senior captain in the unit. He knew what he was doing, tactically and technically. When he was killed, people were like, wow, it could be anybody."
A similar sense-call it "diminished invincibility"-seems to Mrs. Weikel to have translated to Fort Hood at large. In 2003, she said, there was a confident, post-wide esprit de corps: America had won speedily in Afghanistan, losing just over 100 soldiers; Fort Hood forces would now go and do likewise in Iraq. As the war has dragged on, though, "people have begun to face the fact that not everyone comes home. I saw that at Memorial Day last year. A soldier came up to me and said, 'I used to think Memorial Day was for barbecues. Now I get it.'"
Richelle Hecker agrees that the unending flow of casualties, combined with the savage deployment cycle, has taken a heavy toll on Fort Hood. "This community is weary," said Hecker, whose husband, Major William Hecker, 38, and four other men were killed in January 2006 when the convoy they were riding in struck an IED in Najaf.
"Even when soldiers are home from Iraq, they're working horrific hours trying to get prepared to go back. A lot of them are grieving," she said. "Many have lost friends, and have seen people die. They are not given enough time to mentally and emotionally process those losses."
And while home is usually a place of refuge and comfort, Fort Hood spouses also are in a constant state of tension, Hecker said: They've just arrived and are dealing with household shipments, finding a new place to live, putting the kids in a new school, and getting the lights, phone, and water turned on. Or they're relocating soon and are dealing with those same issues. Or their spouse is not in a unit deploying to Iraq, but might rotate to a unit that is. Or they're working, paying the bills, and raising kids alone, all the while wondering whether this will be the day a casualty assistance officer knocks on their door.
Over the past year and a half, a Fort Hood spouse has heard that knock at least once every other day.
Today, soldiers' survivors are better cared for than they were early in the war. After a friend's husband was killed during the first few days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Debbie Busch, a command sergeant major's wife, offered the widow help and support. Months later, her friend asked her, "Why are you the only one who still cares and calls me?"
Busch investigated and found that throughout the recent decades of peacetime, the Army's casualty assistance programs had grown loose and flabby. Widows-and some widowers-were receiving some military benefits, but the Army's casualty assistance officers often dropped the ball, failing to follow up in the critical weeks and months after a soldier died.
To combat the problem, Busch in 2004 started HUGSS (Helping Unite Gold Star Survivors), a group that trains casualty assistance officers to follow up-and follow through-in the wake of each soldier's death. Sadly, the war has worn on so long that the HUGSS program found ample reason to expand.
Today it operates a Gold Star Family Support Center that offers children's playrooms, emergency childcare, and survivors' support groups. Center volunteers call survivors on the tough days: holidays, birthdays, the anniversary of a soldier's death. The only one of its kind, the center has become a model for the nation.
The Gold Star Center is helping Mrs. Hecker work through her grief. Major Hecker left behind four children. "When he came home, he was home," Mrs. Hecker said. "He spent a lot of time with his kids." That's the hardest part, she added: "Watching them grieve, each in their own way, and not being able to help them."
Three-year-old Will Hecker sees his friend's daddies come home, and keeps asking, "Where's my daddy?"
"'Daddy's in heaven,' I tell him. 'Daddy's with Jesus,'" Mrs. Hecker said.
Faith is "literally the foundation" by which Fort Hood soldiers and their families deal with the realities of this war, said 4th Infantry Division senior chaplain James Carter. "You've heard the saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. I don't believe there are any atheists in a war, period," said Carter, an ordained minister with the Presbyterian Church in America.
Carter said 4th ID Commanding General Jeffery Hammond tells his 20,000-plus troops that mental and physical toughness are key to success in combat: "But he makes no bones about his belief that spiritual toughness is the cornerstone of his division."
From Carter's discussions with 4th ID soldiers, he estimates that "at least 90 percent adhere to some faith system" related to the God of the Bible. "What I'm seeing is that faith becomes a handle for them to hold onto, especially for those who have lost a friend in combat."
At Fort Hood, funerals and memorial services are a fact of daily living. "You open the newspaper and see, 'Today's memorial service is . . . ,' said Carter. You pick up another newspaper and see, 'Five soldiers killed.' It's a very sobering reality that this is the cost for our freedom. This is the reality of a fight against this enemy."
During a ceremony on May 23, Fort Hood officials added 235 new plaques to the post's Iraq War memorial, one for each soldier who died in 2006. The memorial features two statues, one of an American soldier grieving before the traditional rifle-boots-and-helmet homage to a fallen comrade, the second of a young Iraqi girl trying to console him. The entire monument, created by an Iraqi sculptor, was cast in bronze reclaimed from a toppled statue of Saddam Hussein that once stood in Iraq.
Such small moral victories, along with incremental in-theater progress, keep some soldiers motivated even in the face of yet another deployment. Back at the Bradley range, First Sergeant Brian Bandy, a 21-year Army veteran, oversees most of the training. Behind his Terminator shades, he looks like the kind of hardboiled senior enlisted man who might make a junior officer think twice before addressing him directly.
Bandy's unit, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, will return to Iraq for a third time in December. Asked about the trials of overseas deployments, Bandy laughs out loud, having lost count of how many times he's had to say goodbye to his wife, Anita, and their kids, Lakeshia, 16, and Rashon, 15.
What about going back to a war zone? Is that any different? Any worse? "No," he says, "that's what I'm in the Army to do." In a way, going back this time could be better: "We know we're going back to the area we left. It's no mystery to us. Hopefully it's better than we left it." The ability to witness progress makes it worthwhile, he says.
In the Bradley range control tower, safety glass mutes the cyclic booming of the Bushmaster gun. Over a radio, the Bradley commanders check in from the ground to see if they can grab more ammo, and get back in line to run the exercise again. One young trainee, awaiting his turn on the range, rips open a bag of Cheetos. If the training goes as scheduled, he'll have 30 minutes to finish his chips before mounting up.

We're considering migrating from Exchange to Zimbra and had a question about calendaring.
We do a lot of shared calendering, we have sales and admin folks who manage the calendars of others, adding/deleting meetings, etc. In Exchange we have a calendar-admins group which has full authority to manage everyone else's calendar.
Can Zimbra support this same level of functionality? Can we view each other's calendars as well?
Also, are there any caveats for Mac clients versus windows clients or do they work equally as well?
Thanks in advance!

What are the requirements that need to be met? Do I need to go to 7.2 beforehand?
How (if possible ) can I rollback should things go wrong?
As this is a production environment I am very hesitant to move forward without a basic idea of where its going!
Any help would be appreaciated!

WVSU students protest professor's departure
INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- When the clock signals class is over, most students rush to leave, said West Virginia State University student Cheryl Laws.
But that's not the case in Sundjata ibn-Hyman's sociology classes.
"People don't surf their phones," said Laws, a senior sociology major at WVSU. "We don't look at the clock until 10 minutes after class is over."
Laws and more than 30 other WVSU students held signs and chanted, "replicate, don't terminate" on Wednesday morning in support of their sociology professor.
Hyman's teaching contract isn't being renewed despite being voted 2012-13 professor of the year by students. School administrators refuse to give a reason beyond "it's a personnel matter."
Scotty White, a sophomore and student representative on the school's Board of Governors, said Hyman informed students he wouldn't be returning earlier this year while they were scheduling classes for next semester.
White and other students sent around 20 letters to school officials pleading for Hyman to be reinstated.
"We wanted them to know he goes above and beyond," White said. "While I love my university, this is a bad decision."
In a letter dated April 18, R. Charles Byers, provost and vice president for academic affairs, responded to students and asked them to be patient.
"I really appreciate your concern, but this is a personnel matter that may involve a multi-step process," the letter states. "I ask that you be patient and allow the process to take its full course so that all parties involved can resolve this matter."
White, a communications major, said he has taken two sociology courses besides the one that's required of all students, because he fell in love with Hyman's teaching style.
"He doesn't have you just memorizing, he gets in depth," White said.
Courtney Smith, a sophomore criminal justice major, said Hyman's passion for teaching makes students want to learn.
"The way he teaches is so different from the rest," she said. "He inspires you to change society for the better."
School officials asked Hyman supporters to stay clear of where the state Supreme Court would hear arguments several buildings away, as part of its college tour.
Students stood outside Ferrell Hall, where the school's president of academic affairs has an office, for more than an hour.
"We want him to come out and face us," Smith said of Byers. "We deserve more of an explanation."
"To be blunt, it's our money," White said. "I'd like a little more information. If something serious is going on, don't we deserve to know? We're adults."
Hyman didn't attend the rally and couldn't be reached for comment. White said the teacher had nothing to do with the demonstration.
"It's rare when students get together for the love of a professor, but it's the least we can do," White said, adding that if their efforts don't work, "at least we're sending him off right."

Name released of man injured by fire Sunday
Published: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
The name of the man seriously burned after he poured gasoline on a burn pile Sunday was released on Monday.
Christopher Neil Roberts, 62, was tending to a burn pile on property near his home at 13200 N.E. 98th Street in Fort McCoy on Sunday. Just before noon, Roberts reportedly threw gasoline on the smoldering pile and the fuel erupted into a fireball, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.
One of Roberts' neighbors said he heard a large bang and looked over to see Roberts on fire. The flames were put out, but the man suffered second and third degree burns over approximately 40 percent of his body, according to reports.
Roberts was flown to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The hospital did not immediately reply Monday to a request for an update on his condition.
His injuries were considered non-life threatening on Sunday, according to the sheriff's report.

i did this to limit number of mail per email within a time frame
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_limit = 200'
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit = 200'
postconf -e 'smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 200'
postconf -e 'anvil_rate_time_unit = 600s'
postfix reload
What i want to achieve is a user can send to 200 address per email within 10 minutes. But seems like this is not working because one of our user account were hacked and the hacker were able to more than 200 even more than 400 if 'overshoot' is taken into account.
Then i tried this setting to test
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_limit = 2'
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit = 2'
postconf -e 'smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 2'
postconf -e 'anvil_rate_time_unit = 600s'
postfix reload
i found out that i were able to send to 2 recipient in an email more 4 times within 600s or 10minutes. And seems like 'anvil_rate_time_unit' is not working.
Am i left out some setting or is this a bug. Please advise.

Making fresh, healthful yogurt at home has many benefits. You can customize flavors, styles, and quantities in your spare time at a fraction of what you might spend on yogurt at the grocery store. Everything Kitchens' many yogurt machines and starter cultures allow you to make individual batches of yogurt in up to 6 different flavors at a time (varies by model). Some yogurt makers instead make a big batch of single style of yogurt, but this method makes up in quantity what it lacks in variety.

How the strike zone affects everything
One. After another. After another.
Marlins right-hander Livan Hernandez threw 143 pitches one October evening in 1997, but it was a collection of 37 that have since lived on in infamy. Those were the called strikes. Those were the throws that left Atlanta hitters fuming and Atlanta fans furious.
As it turns out, there were two broken records that night. One was literal, with Hernandez setting the NLCS strikeout mark by fanning 15 Braves en route to Florida's first pennant. The other was figurative, with home-plate umpire Eric Gregg ringing up batters over and over and over again on pitches that looked at least three inches off the outside corner.
Hernandez, a rookie at the time, went on to win series MVP, but he was hardly the most potent force in that pivotal Game 5. Nope, that honor went to the strike zone — a cosmic entity that has forever been baseball's snowflake. No two are exactly like.
Information graphic
Baseball America voted Gregg's officiating as the Majors' third-worst umpiring performance during the last quarter of the 20th century. But in reality, his may have simply been the zone that got caught. For something that is supposed to be as objective as the solution to a math problem, the strike zone continues to endure with the subjectivity of an inkblot — shrinking, expanding, shifting, deceiving … and affecting outcomes with double-agent stealth.
"I don't see it," said Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. "The strike zone's the strike zone."
If only, Madison. If only.
"The strike zone is that area over home plate, the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap. The strike zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball."
— Rule 2.00 of the MLB Rulebook.
There is the definition. There is the characterization of a strike, which may very well be the most significant rule in team sports. If hitting a baseball really is the most difficult feat in athletics, then the area determining when a batter must swing should be categorically identified.
Theoretically, given what's at stake in this game of inches, there should be no disputes, discrepancies or disagreements whatsoever when it comes to the strike zone. In reality, it may be the most pored over rectangle this side of Pythagoras.
College professors have written papers on it. Renowned sabermatrician Dan Brooks has concocted algorithms on the edges of the plate alone. Former Baseball Prospectus writer Mike Fast — now an analyst with the Astros — has penned four 2,000-plus-word articles on the topic.
It may seem excessive, but miners wouldn't keep digging if they weren't striking gold.
Take, for instance, Hardball Times blogger Josh Weinstock's post from last year, which examined the strike zone for the 74 Major League umpires who saw at least 3,000 pitches in 2011. Weinstock found that the smallest zone (Tim Tschida) and the largest zone (Doug Eddings) ranged from 2.85 to 3.65 square feet. Even Padres manager Bud Black, who for the most part dismissed strike-zone interpretations as a major influence on the game, confessed "that's significant."
But is it actually? Can the average ump-heckling fan feel his boos are justified?
Well, the stat geeks will tell you that the varying zones have considerable impacts on advanced sabermetrics such as Fielding Independent Pitching (considered the purest measure of a pitcher's performance) and kwERA (earned run average based solely on walks and strikeouts). And if you type that into Google Translator real quick, click Stat Geek to English, it'll tell you that … the strike zone is, in fact, influencing the game.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) - Residents around the region are awaiting the return of power and welcoming the arrival of utility crews.
Electricity isn't a luxury for Paul Spann. He needs it to power his wheelchair and his bed. His battery has lasted the past 12 hours
"If I go through today and I don't have it by tonight, I'm going to be in a pickle. So all joking aside, we need electricity asap," he said.
With the power down, Spann laid low and waited for Pepco to come fix it. "I have never been so excited to see white trucks roll up in this neighborhood," he said.
Spann greeted the three-man team in his front yard when they showed up, including crew chief Waykene Nelson, who said,"We're on call 24/7." Nelson has worked at Pepco for 26 years and appreciates that people want their power back on for all different reasons.
And as soon as the power's back on at the Spann's house, it's on to the next one.

beside from being a very happy zimbra open source edition user there is one feature that crossed my mind a few day ago and that i would like to propose.
It would be great if i could synchronise my bookmarks or at least my firefox bootmarks to my account on my zimbra server. (I like to keep my data on my own server )
Maybe there is a chance to use existing firefox add-ons to save work on the firefox side.
best regards

Im having a weird issue.
A customer of mine is trying to respond to an email. When he attempts this he gets a pop up window that asks for the credentials (un and pw) of the domain he is trying to email. The first message asks for the username and password of the mail server he is emailing. If you enter bad creds or hit cancel a new window pops up. The second one says "A username and password is being requested by email.domain.com. They site says: "email.domain.com" Where email.domain.com is the MX of their mail server.
So it looks like its their email server asking for the creds, but why? I sent a test email from an exchange server and it went through with no issues.
My customer says this is the only time this issue has happened.
Any Suggestions? Im new to Zimbra and at a loss on what might be causing this.

Charro,I think you should trade the Patrol in for a Gear-up and use that for offroad riding!Matt
I own both a DR650 and a Bullet Sixty 5 and for off road there is absolutely no comparison!! I agree that the KLR and the DR aren't much to look at and I love riding my Bullet, but even at modest speeds on any but the smoothest roads you will be at a huge disadvantage. Something to consider is that the DR can be lowered. The prices are all nearly the same for new bikes. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the Suzuki. I know little of the Kaw.
....Waiting to do any carb work until after its broken in...
.... By carb work I ment replacing carb with larger Mikuni and removing airbox.
As for removing the airbox, if you bolt the filter right to the carb inlet, you will shorten the inlet tract too much and will have a flat spot in the torque curve. Just because everybody takes a photo of this carb setup and thinks it's authentic doesn't make it right.

text: If I'm reading this right, this bill is to increase the percentage of licenses going to residents and significantly reduces the percentage of tags going to non residents. If so, you residents need to be contacting your legislative reps and asking for their support. Looks like they're also including a small resident fee increase for all tags. I imagine the Wyoming Guides & Outfitters will be paying big bucks to get this bill defeated.

New school year starts Thursday on 'Community'
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I was going to write about the return of "The Walking Dead" this week, but I decided not to. Sure, I've been eagerly awaiting the second half of season three, which starts Sunday, but so have the rest of the show's legion of fans.
Instead, I decided to write about another returning show, one with an equally passionate -- although much smaller -- fanbase: NBC's "Community." After nearly nine months away, "Community" finally returns at 8 p.m. Thursday, filling the slot left vacant after the "30 Rock" finale last week.
I love "The Walking Dead," but it doesn't need my help; it's one of the hottest shows on TV right now. "Community," on the other hand, is an underrated gem that doesn't have nearly the audience it deserves.
The show is wildly creative. Using the framework of a study group at the fictional Greendale Community College, it consistently churns out refreshingly unique episodes.
For instance, last season, the show had three of what might have been my favorite sitcom episodes of the year with its "Law & Order" spoof ("Basic Lupine Urology"), mock historical documentary ("Pillows and Blankets") and 8-bit video-game homage ("Digital Estate Planning"). It's won raves for its paintball episodes, which have parodied action movies, spaghetti Westerns and "Star Wars." Its season-two claymation Christmas special won an Emmy.
The cast has gone from Joel McHale in the starring role surrounded by the other study group members to a true ensemble with everyone (except, in this last season, Chevy Chase) contributing equally. In fact, it could be argued now that Donald Glover's Troy and Danny Pudi's Abed have eclipsed McHale's Jeff Winger to become the heart of the group.
The humor is very quirky and sometimes absurd, and I think that might be what drives people away. I, personally, prefer that style, which is why I also like shows like "Parks and Recreation" and "Happy Endings."
Some of the more out-there elements (like the flamboyant, cross-dressing dean played by Oscar-winner Jim Rash) might put off fans of more traditional sitcoms, but I'd rather have shows that dare to be different and sometimes miss the mark than one-dimensional ones that don't stray from their comfort zones.
If that appeals to you, too, then be in your seat when the bell rings at 8 p.m. Thursday. For extra credit, recruit some of your friends to join you.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Sports Network) - Victoria Azarenka has withdrawn
from the Dubai Tennis Championships because of a right foot injury.
Azarenka, coming off a title this past weekend at the Qatar Open, was the top
seed in Dubai. She apparently hurt her foot while winning last week's
Despite a 14-0 match record to start the season, a second straight Australian
Open championship and a victory over Serena Williams in the Qatar final,
Azarenka was supplanted by Williams as the top-ranked player in women's tennis

Williams is seeded second this week and, because of Azarenka's withdrawal,

Quick Links for Climbing
I live near Rifle and there are a ton of fixed draws with different sizes of quick links attaching them to the bolts. What is the recommended size for this application, and what should the breaking strength be? The ones I see the most are 3/8-inch with a breaking strength of just under 2,000 pounds. And do you buy them from a climbing company like Fixe, where they cost $4 or more, or get them at a hardware store where they cost $1 or even less?
Quick links have more aliases than an adult-film star. Variously known as screw links, maillon rapides and rapid links, these buggers are made of steel so they are durable, can be cheap, and, once screwed tight to a bolt hanger, are difficult for even crusty bald tradsters to steal. For these reasons they are popular for attaching fixed draws to projects or popular sport routes, and as the rope thread at lowering and rap stations. Mmm, sounds tasty, but hold on.
I went to the local hardware and bought a couple of quick links from a clerk who looked like the product of a Santa Claus and ZZ Top cross-breeding experiment. He didn't know if the links had been tested or were rated, or what the 1,760-pound SWL (safe working limit) stamped on the links meant. He searched the literature and found nothing. The manufacturer's website didn't provide any specifics. The links did carry a tag that said "Made in Malaysia." The image of a dirty-faced child with bleeding hands pouring white-hot steel remains troubling in my mind, but not as much as the additional warning that stated: "Do not use for overhead lifting, support of human load or playground equipment." Since sport climbing is basically all three of those things rolled into one, the answer for you should be clear. If it is not, simply ask yourself if you'd rather climb on a tested and certified rope that cost $200, or one for $50 that is untested, made in the Third World by a sweatshop ragamuffin and had a label that said, "Don't use for human load." The Fixe and Petzl quick links cost five times as much as the dime-store variety, but are CE certified. These are tested and rated and backed by the integrity of the brand names. Do we really need to dwell on this some more? Good. Good.
For rigging perma-draws, the 5/16-inch quick links are good. These are $3.95 from Fixe, and have a 1,540-pound working load that is 1/5 breaking strength. For lowering and rap stations, the larger 3/8-inch links ($5.50) will be kinder to ropes and even more durable. Next!
