| 165 | Micheal Moreno | 20 | 14-4 | vs. | Bubby Graham | 4 | 13-2 |

| 197 | Kyven Gadson | 11 | 11-2 | vs. | Brad Johnson | UR | 8-7 |
| 285 | Matt Gibson | 20 | 9-3 | vs. | Keldrick Hall | UR | 6-16 |
I'm hoping we'll have everyone back and healthy, especially Finch and Gibson. We match up very well against Oklahoma and both teams will be favored in five of the matches. They'll be favored at 133, 141, 149, 157, and 165. We'll be favored at 125, 174, 184, 197, and HWT. To win we'll need to score an upset (looking at you Goettl) or get some pins out of our upper weights.
125: ISU favorite. Need Finch to show up and score us some bonus points here. Garcia has only given up two MDs in his 7 losses but Oklahoma will be favored in the next five matches so it'll be important for Finch to start us off with a little extra. If Finch is still out I'm guessing we put Connor Clarke out there and hope he can scrape out a win. If we lose at 125 it'll be very tough for us to win the meet.
133: Heavy Oklahoma favorite. Cody Brewer is a pretty decent wrestler and he'll be favored against Meeks. Hopefully Meeks has broken through his funk and can make this a match. But if not, its important that he doesn't give up bonus points. If we are going to score an upset I think that 133 is where it will happen. If Meeks is still out with a concussion I think we put RJ Hallmann out there and cross our fingers that he doesn't get pinned.
141: Oklahoma favorite. Last year Goettl wrestled Maple three times, losing twice by major decision and beating him once in OT. This year they've gone at it once already with Maple winning 11-5 last weekend at Midlands. Another upset would be amazing but I don't see that in the cards. What I am hoping is that Goettl can keep it to a decision.
149: Very heavy Oklahoma favorite. Mayfield beat their backup at Midlands but I don't see him getting a win over Lester. What worries me is that in Lester's 12 wins he has scored bonus points in 10 of them, with 4 tech falls and two pins. As with the prior two matches Mayfield needs to do his best to keep this to a decision and not give up bonus points. This is the most lopsided matchup in Oklahoma's favor so really just giving up 4 points rather than 5 or 6 is probably what to hope for. They have one common opponent this year, Mitchell Minotti of Lehigh. Lester pinned Minotti and Mayfield lost to Minotti 3-8.
157: Oklahoma favorite. Molina will face off against the larger Lester brother at 157. This is another match where we have a shot at an upset. They have two common opponents. They both lost to Ian Miller of Kent State at Midlands, Molina 8-13 and Lester 5-11. They also both have beaten Hayden Zillmer of NDSU. Molina 8-6 and Lester 8-0. Lester will be favored but this could easily turn out to be a great match.
165: Oklahoma favorite. This will be the last match where Oklahoma is favored. Moreno and Graham met at Midlands with Graham coming away with a 5-3 victory. An upset is possible but Graham is a very good wrestler and will likely not overlook Moreno a second time.
174: ISU favorite. Tanner Weatherman beat Read 7-0 at Midlands. Whoever we send out there at 174 needs to get us back in the win column after five straight matches where Oklahoma is favored. A loss here is inexcusable and a major decision or better would go a long way towards giving us a shot to win the meet.
184: Heavy ISU favorite. Beard will need to get back on track after a disappointing Midlands performance by beating up on what is Oklahoma's weakest weight. I'm looking to see bonus points in this match.
197: Heavy ISU favorite. Gadson is on fire right now and needs to keep that going with a major decision or better against an overmatched Johnson.
HWT: ISU favorite. Hall is a 197 pounder wrestling up. He was pretty decent at 197 last year (NCAA qualifier, went 1-2) but has struggled with the move up to HWT. I'm looking to see Gibson get on top and turn him a few times for bonus points. If Gibson is still injured then I think we have to send out either Voelker or Shaffer and then Hall becomes the favorite in the match. Shaffer at 184, Beard at 197, and Gadson at HWT could also be a possibility depending on how the meet is going.
If they start at 125 it is going to look ugly by the time we get to 174, but we will be favored from there on out (kind of like the NDSU meet).
If Finch and Gibson are in the lineup we have a shot at an upset. If we are missing either of them it'll be very tough to walk out of Norman with a victory.

I am not counting a win against OK.
How many of our wrestlers are concussed to date again?
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I think you have to leave everybody where they are at. Let Swope do the job at Hwt. Beard needs wins at 184.

I'm not counting on a win either. I'd say we have about a 25% chance of getting a win in this dual (if all our starters are there). But do you disagree with who is favored in each individual matchup? Are there any weights where you think I am missing something or being overly optimistic? Oklahoma is built to be a tournament team this year and is not as good of a dual team as their #10 ranking would lead you to assume.

Judoka is right, that we can't count on any dual wins, but this is one we are capable of winning.
I am going to make my predictions assuming we have all of our starters, except for Gibson because his injury is so recent. Has anyone heard if we will have everyone back or not?
125: I will take Finch by decision. I think this is going to be a very close match. Garcia is better than his record.
133: I think Brewer will beat JM by decision. Hopefully I am wrong and JM can build some confidence.
141: Maple is really, really good. I don't see LG beating Maple again.
149: Mayfield is just coming back from his concussion and I think his shape is questionable. I hope he can keep it to a major.
157: I think Molina will be competitive but not enough to get the win. Lester by decision.
165: I really want a win here and he can definitely do it, but I am going to go with Graham.
174: Have to win this one! Hope for bonus points, but going with a decision.
184: I hope Beard comes back ticked off and wrestles aggressive. I am going to give him the major. He needs to stay here and get wins at 184. We are going to have a hard time getting guys to DSM.
197: Showtime keeps on rolling. KG by major.
HWT: I see Swope losing by major. Hope Gibson can go.
14-20 Oklahoma

From what I have seen out of this team this year, it would require some heart and desire from a good portion of our lineup to win this meet, and they have shown me nothing but the opposite. We appear to have regressed with regards to wrestlers like Finch, Goettl, and Beard. Everyone is dealing with a concussion(do they slap each other in the face all practice long?), and our guys are consistently losing to lower level opponents from what simply looks like lack of preparation.
I try not to be a downer, but this team just gets my blood pressure up. Other than Moreno and Gadsen, our guys don't compete like wrestlers that want it. I have no reason to believe it will be different here.

I'm guessing the ISU press release will come out tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning, if we see "or"s anywhere other than 174 I'll take that to mean people are still out with injuries.
Cyclones To Open Big 12 Slate Against Oklahoma - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports
Worth noting: Looks like Finch and Meeks are back, but there are "or"s in the lineup at 174, 184, 197, and HWT. 174 and 197 always have "or" because we have two guys fighting at 174 and a returning two year starter at 197 in Shafer. But at 184 we have Beard or Mikey England and at HWT we have Gibson or Swope.
Not sure what to make of 184 - but that is probably Jackson being upset with Beard and making him sweat after that dismal Midlands performance. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see Mikey on the mat and I think either of them can get a win over the Okie 184 pounder.
At HWT I'm going to assume we'll see Swope. That's a huge blow. I'd say our chances at a win fall from 25% to more like 5% if Gibson is out. We'll have to win 125, 174, 184, and 197 plus get an upset from somebody else.

Beard and Gadsen are wrestling their weights. not sure on who is going at 174 or hwt.
I hope they start at 125. Oklahoma's favored weights are 133-165. So our upper weights will know if they have to score bonus points and Jackson will be able to know how much he needs to jostle around the lineup.
At Heavy if the dual is out of reach for either team I think it is Swope to give him a taste of a Big XII dual (assuming Gibson doesn't pass concussion testing today). But I'm not sure what'll happen if we get to 197 and are down by 0-8 points.
Last edited by Judoka; 01-05-2013 at 10:44 AM.
Gibson didn't make the trip. Swope will be in his place.
I don't bring my own opinions, just attack others.
Lots of options available. Shafer could probably wrestle anywhere from 184 to Hwt. Mikey could wrestle 174 or 184. Gadsen (with it being Hall) could wrestle 197 or Hwt.
I think it comes down to things we don't know. Health of the individual wrestlers! And of course, the score of the dual at that time!
Looks like this would be a great time for Meeks to break out of his funk.

Last night for dinner we had Cuban Farm Style Chicken (chicken cooked with onions, vegetables, orange juice, garlic and cumin) served over couscous.
The winds were in the 14 knot range all evening, giving us some very good speeds, mostly 8 to 9 knots, and a maximum speed of 10.4 knots. This morning the winds lightened a bit to the 12 knot range, and we are still managing 7 knot boat speed. Over the last 24 hours, we have covered a total of 174 nautical miles.
We're sailing upwind, or close-hauled, so we are heeled over, but the ride is smooth and comfortable.
We had a bit of trouble last night with the gasoline-powered Yamaha generator. It isn't working right, it speeds up and slows down continuously and only puts out a small amount of power. Maybe the sea water spray has gotten to the control electronics inside it. If the generator is not working it means we have to run the engine periodically at night to keep the batteries charged. We can live without it, but it would be nice to get the generator going again. Fortunately in the daytime we get a lot of power from the solar panels, and the wind generator provides power day and night.

We found a stow-away on the bow today, a booby. I wonder how long he'll stay with us!

We had our last sight of land as we exited the channel west of Maui (see photo). As the land faded into the distance, so did the 25 knot channel winds.
I made a stew of chicken, onions, leeks, and spices, served over pasta for dinner. This is our second day at sea; as of noon we covered 167 nautical miles in the last 24 hours. We have fine sailing conditions, with 14 knots of wind coming from the East. We have a reefed mail and jib and our boat speed ranges between 7.5 and 8.5 knots. The skies are sunny and the breeze is warm.

Our trip across the channel between the Big Island and Maui was windy, about 25 to 30 knots, but uneventful except that when we tried to unfurl the mainsail it would not come out of the mast. We had removed the mainsail last week to have it refurbished and apparently when we refurled the mainsail there wasn't enough halyard tension and/or sheet tension, so the rolled up sail was too big to be able to exit smoothly. Rather than deal with this on a moonless night, we sailed with the jib only and planned to make landfall at a harbor in Maui and get it fixed in the morning.
On arrival at the harbor this morning at around 730 a.m., we got the mainsail tensioned properly and it is now working smoothly. After resting a bit we'll head back out to sea later this morning.
Some of the overhead hatches were leaking; I took the opportunity in port to apply a liberal bead of silicone sealant to them. It will be some work to get them open again when we get to San Francisco, but at least we'll stay dry, hopefully.

After days of preparations, we finally departed today at 5:20 PM. Here's a photo of us at the dock: (L to R, crew member Pete, Pascale, Bruce with Antoine in front, crew member Jay, and Francois. Of these, only Bruce, Antoine, Pete and Jay will be on board. It was an emotional time saying goodbye to Pascale and Francois. We won't see them for another 2 to 3 weeks.
Our passage to San Francisco will probably be about 2400 to 2500 miles.
Right now we are heading north along the west coast of the Big Island, later we will cross the strait to Maui and head north along the west side of Maui. From there we'll head to the northern latitudes until we start to see winds coming from the West that can carry us to San Francisco.
|Pacific Puddle Jump 2011
08/31/2011, Kona, Hawaii
We are ready to set sail tomorrow, from Hawaii to San Francisco. Pascale and Francois are going to fly home, while Antoine and I will be sailing our boat back. We have two new crew members: Pete and Jay. Both have plenty of blue water experience. Pete is from the Bay Area and Jay is from Austin Texas.
We have been extremely busy the last 4 days, provisioning for the trip and packing things away in every nook and cranny on the boat. It's incredible how much stuff you can carry. We have about a thousand dollars worth of groceries stowed away in various places or in the refrigerator or freezer. And that doesn't include the wine cellar!
Also, we have done a huge amount of maintenance and upgrades to the boat while in Hawaii: we removed both sails and have them reinforced and restitched by a sailmaker; we replaced two halyards; we had a rigger inspect the rigging and adjust it; we placed a new LED red/green/white tricolor LED navigation light at the masthead because the red/green lights on the bow pulpit that work fine in coastal waters cannot take the punishment of an ocean crossing; we replaced a seacock and put new bottom paint on the hull. The last few weeks has given new meaning to the acronym BOAT: Break Out Another Thousand.
Tonight is our last night together as a family until we get to San Francisco... we're going out to a restaurant to ... celebrate?? ... not quite a celebration ... we're not looking forward to being apart for nearly three weeks. Let's just say we're cherishing our moments together now.
I am realizing that this kind of trip/adventure is very valuable, in that it teaches all of us how important we are to each other and how much we will be missing each other when we're apart. That will make our reunion in Tiburon all the more sweet.
|Pacific Puddle Jump 2011
08/27/2011, Kona, Hawaii
The survey was completed yesterday and I got the report today (passed with flying colors).
Bottom paint was completed and the boat put back in the water today.
I have secured the other crew member and he is arriving Aug 29 at 8:05 PM. He's a retired aviation inspector with 30,000 sea miles.
I got the refurbished mainsail and jib back from the sailmaker today. Mainsail has been raised and furled in the mast.
Rigger is coming Sunday morning to complete rigging tasks (new masthead navigation light; new tack pennant for the genoa; new genoa halyard.
I brought the two spare sails out for inspection and to see if anything needed to be done to them. It turns out both spare sails are mainsails however either sail could serve as a jib as well. Both sails are in serviceable condition.
Looks like everything is a "go". I am very excited and can't wait to get going.
|Pacific Puddle Jump 2011
Have a great crossing. We would love to greet you outside the Gate on the Answer!
Bob& Debbie
The insurance company requires a haulout and survey every 2 years, and we're overdue for that, so we hauled Calou out of the water today for some maintenance. Calou had a seacock replaced, and will have the bottom sanded and new antifouling bottom paint applied. We have also removed the sails and are having them refurbished so that they are as good as new. And we have a rigger inspecting the rigging and making needed changes and adjustments.
We plan to set sail for San Francisco early next week.

Plymouth Barracuda Front Suspension Upgrade - The B3 Is BackWritten by on July 1, 2009 And It'll Be Badder Than Ever With New CAP Auto Products Tubular Front Suspension Parts
If you've been a Mopar Muscle reader for long, chances are you remember our B3 (budget, bracket, Barracuda) project vehicle. The original premise of this build was to legally run ten second elapsed times in the quarter, on a ten thousand dollar budget. While we accomplished this goal, running a best of 10.13 seconds at 133 mph, and have successfully raced the B3 for over a year now without any major issues, we simply want to go faster than our car's current engine and stock suspension can reliably take us. Since we'll be upgrading to a 500 cubic inch, Indy-headed wedge, and running Calvert Racing rear suspension to help our car hook up, we decided to upgrade the front of our Barracuda with a tubular K-member and tubular upper and lower control arms from CAP Auto Products.
There are several benefits of installing tubular front suspension components, the first being added strength and reduced weight. Factory Mopar K-members and control arms were manufactured from stamped steel and welded together, making a good, but not great front frame member. The stamped steel OEM pieces are prone to flexing, and fairly heavy for their strength. Alternatively, the CAP Auto Products replacement K-member and control arms are made from strong, lightweight steel tubing, making them significantly stronger and lighter than factory pieces. The CAP K-member also bolts right in place of the factory unit, and gives you a ton more oil pan clearance than a factory K-member. In fact, with the CAP tubular K-member you can easily remove the oil pan with the engine in the car and the centerlink of the steering removed.
Another nice feature of the CAP tubular K-member is that it retains the factory steering box location and comes with your choice of engine mounts already welded in place. As an upgrade, rack-and-pinion steering is available, but we chose to keep the factory steering box so we can legally run the stock suspension classes at our local drag strips. We also chose to mount our engine using a motor plate, so while we hated to take the saw to our brand new part, we cut the engine mounts off for additional clearance and weight savings.
To add additional rigidity and adjustability to the suspension of our Barracuda race car, we complemented our tubular K-member with tubular upper and lower control arms, and aluminum strut-rods, also from CAP Auto Products. The upper control arms are not just stronger and slightly lighter than the factory units, they also offer additional caster and camber adjustability by having threaded ends and using shims where they attach to the car's frame. These extra adjustments gave us the ability to get our front end alignment nearly perfect throughout the travel of the front end, which is mandatory for a car that leaves the starting line with the front wheels in the air. The tubular lower control arms are slightly lighter than OEM units, but CAP has manufactured them to be three times stronger, and three times stronger is a good feeling in a car that could see nearly 150 mph in the quarter-mile.
When our parts arrived we immediately noticed the quality of these pieces. The parts looked great and all the parts were professionally welded and powdercoated black. CAP Auto Products will also powdercoat the parts to a color of your choice for a small extra charge, but for our application black worked just fine. When we installed our parts, everything literally just bolted right in. Replacing all of the front suspension components with the CAP tubular pieces took us less than a day with a lift, but could easily be accomplished in a weekend with the car on jackstands. Follow along and we'll show you just how easy it is to improve your car's front suspension with tubular components from CAP Auto Products.

Before we could install our new parts, we had to get the old stuff out. We began by unloading and removing the torsion bars.One of the only specialty tools needed for this job is a tie-rod separator, commonly called a "pickle fork."After the steering linkage is disconnected, the upper ball joints can be loosened. The spindles will be reused, but the control arms, strut-rods, and K-member will all be replaced.Using a floor jack and jackstands, the original K-member and lower control arms are lowered from the car.Side-by-side you can plainly see that the CAP tubular upper control arm just looks cleaner and tougher than the original unit. It's also slightly lighter.The CAP tubular upper control arm (on the left) has threaded adjustable ends. The ends are also narrower than the original unit and are installed with shims. Both of these features allow for more caster and camber adjustment than the OEM setup allows.
Next to each other, the differences between the stock K-member (top) and the CAP unit are apparent. By replacing our stock pieces with CAP tubular ones, we shaved nearly 50 pounds from the front of our Barracuda.With our old suspension out, we could begin installing our new parts. Another nice feature of the tubular K-member is that it's light enough that you don't need a jack to install it.The factory steering box bolts directly to the new K-member just like the old one. The CAP tubular suspension kit is also available with rack-and-pinion steering if desired.The upper control arms simply bolt in the same position as the factory control arms and come with heavy duty Mopar ball joints already installed. Half-inch washers are used to make up the difference as the new arms have narrower bushings than the originals. This also allows for caster adjustment that wasn't an option with the factory control arms.The new lower control arms also install just like the originals, and the lower ball joint is reused. CAP has tested these arms and found them to be three times as strong as the originals even though they're over a pound lighter.Also included in our kit were these aluminum strut-rods. Again, these are lighter than the originals, don't sacrifice strength, and are fully adjustable.We adjusted the new strut rods to the length of the old ones as a starting point and installed them. If we choose to make caster adjustments later, the strut rods can be adjusted to accommodate our changes.
It took us the better part of a day to install our new suspension components with the help of a lift. Even without a lift, however, this job could easily be accomplished in a weekend with just a jack and jackstands.Though our front suspension upgrade with CAP tubular parts is complete, we're not quite ready for track testing yet. Be sure to follow along as we install a 500 cubic inch Indy headed wedge and Cal-Trac rear suspension in future articles.Anytime front suspension components are changed, the car must be realigned. Thanks to the additional adjustability of our new components, we adjusted our suspension for nearly perfect wheel alignment throughout the range of suspension travel.

Still Can't See the Veil
Posted 26 August 2013 - 09:04 AM
I had 52 cgy in the fov, so I know it was there. I moved the scope around some to push the star out of the view, but real sign of it. I was using my 28mm SWA EP. I even tried my older Meade narrowband on a 24mm SWA and no luck there.
The sky was probably 3/5 for transparency, so not too bad and I do have some LP to deal with. Next out I will try it in my 10" DOB...if I can find it?
I know you need dark skies for this, but thought the filter would help a lot to get through the muck?
Posted 26 August 2013 - 09:15 AM
I live in a red-border-of-white LP zone and just barely, barely, barely make it out with filters in an 18" dob.

I can see the Veil Nebula in full (including Pickering triangle) with 10X50 binoculars (very poor quality) with two filters DGM UHC 2 "placed on the front lens, Also the North America Nebula so fantastic, the Pelicano very faint, and all under moderately polluted sky, not black sky!

Posted 26 August 2013 - 11:36 AM
Perhaps I need for it to get a little higher in the sky to try again. I think I will try it again in my 9x63 Bino's and put the filter on the front of one of the lenses? Otherwise I'm going to use my 10" Dob tonight if it stays clear
Posted 26 August 2013 - 11:52 AM
Hmmm...Bob. I've seen the Veil only with an OIII filter. And since the veil is nearly straight up for you and I, light pollution is pretty much unimportant.
Posted 26 August 2013 - 04:57 PM
For instance, the limiting magnitude in my backyard used to be about 5.0 on a good night, and with a 20 inch f/5 Dob and an OIII filter the Veil was quite dim. At a true dark sky site the Veil was easier to see in an 8 inch f/4 Dob without a filter.
The OP will have a better chance with his 10 inch scope, but his sky conditions will determine what will be visible.
Posted 27 August 2013 - 02:06 AM
Posted 27 August 2013 - 07:05 AM
Try for better sky's and so long as I have 52 in your field with a filter - its a profoundly unforgettable view.
Posted 27 August 2013 - 08:35 AM
I think the humidity in the air is making the LP and sky glow worse. This probably effects the transparency more I think. I'll try it again in my 10" Dob on 52cyg and cover my head.
Thanks for all your suggestions, you guys are great

It's big - use your lowest magnification EP AND focal reducer with a C8! Even then I'm pretty sure you can only fit about half the broom in the FOV.(?) Once you've seen it, it's easier the next time.

Clear skies!

I think you're working under a triple handicap. First of all, the small field of view of an SCT is ill-suited for recognizing this object -- though just fine for viewing it in detail once you've nabbed it. Second, landing on it via Go To is a problem, because you're arriving blind, as it were. If you had star-hopped to it, you would have a better sense of how it fits into the surroundings.
Finally, although NGC 6960, the arc through 52 Cyg, is much easier to find, it's also much fainter than NGC 6992/6995, the smaller but more intense eastern arc. However, NGC 6992/6995 has no readily identifiable stars or star patterns to tell you where to look.
If it's any comfort, I had a very hard time seeing the Veil -- until I'd seen it. Like so many things, now that I know what it looks like, it's a piece of cake. I can even see it through my 70-mm refractor in the white zone if I use an O III filter.
Posted 30 August 2013 - 07:58 AM
Ok then, I see what your talking about with the SCT. I'm going to try is again in my new 10" Dob I just got and also in my 80ED at low power with a 2* FOV. I will use my new 2" DGM NPB filter. The only OIII filter I have is a dedicated SCT type, so can't use that except with my LS8.
BTW, with my 40mm EP I get 1* FOV, so if I pan around some, I should be able to see some of it, right?
Also, what about using my 9x63 Bino's, would that work some you think?

BTW, with my 40mm EP I get 1* FOV, so if I pan around some, I should be able to see some of it, right?
Maybe. But panning around isn't a every effective technique for seeing things that are difficult or marginal. It's much better to star-hop to the correct location with a star chart.
Also, what about using my 9x63 Bino's, would that work some you think?
Probably not. The brighter arc is indeed visible through binoculars, but it's pretty tough unless your skies are good and dark. The problem is that it's very hard to fit binoculars with filters, and filters are a huge, huge asset for viewing the Veil.
Posted 30 August 2013 - 09:51 AM
Probably not in the light pollution you describe, I'm afraid. I can make out the brightest part (the small loop) in 8.5x50 binocs, but only if the sky is really dark, and only because I already know exactly what it looks like after using a scope and a filter!
Also, what about using my 9x63 Bino's, would that work some you think?
If the sky in my binocs looks "very very" dark grey then the nebula looks merely "very" dark grey. It's that subtle.
The other larger, fainter band (on the opposite side to the smaller loop) is not properly visible in my binocs because the small star that's in the same location outshines it! That's how faint it is...
I think you need to be away from the city, where you can see the milky way really clearly, so dark that you can see the big split around Cygnus with the naked eye. Then you might have a chance with the binocs.
Posted 03 September 2013 - 10:52 PM
Even if you can see something of the Veil in a light-polluted site, you won't see anything close to the true majesty of this object.
Get thee to a Dark Sky Site!

1955 Chevy Stepside Truck - True ReflectionWritten by on January 22, 2007 Contributors: Susan Germyn Barbara & Ken Zimmerman's '55 Chevy Stepside
The saying "experience is the best teacher" definitely applies to the custom classic truck hobby. There's a good chance the latest vintage truck an enthusiast builds is going to be the greatest they've ever constructed.
When an individual has a 40-year history in the hobby and 13 prior cars and trucks created to one's credit, the latest custom classic pickup is bound to be the best. Such is the case for Ken and Barbara Zimmerman of Longwood, Florida's second-series '55 Chevy Stepside.
Earlier this year, Ken e-mailed CCT a brief description and some jpegs of the Chevy. I remember the day distinctly. In anticipation of getting a head start to the workweek, I was wading through my e-mails on a Sunday evening when Ken's note came in. Kismet! The '55 had the right stance, nice paintwork, spot-on panel fitment, a leather-appointed interior, and a shiny engine in a smoothed engine bay. On a fact-finding mission, I replied to Ken's missive straightaway with a bunch of questions. All my queries came with the desired replies, but there were two problems. The Zimmermans lived in the other corner of the country and didn't have definite plans to attend shows CCT would be going to.
Ironically, we had a similar challenge with another Chevy owner we wrote about in the June '06 issue ("Quick Study"). With the Zimmerman's '55, we found a different solution to getting great photography. The owner asked a local award-winning photographer, Susan Germyn, to snap some photos of the Chevy. Thanks to Susan, I didn't have to fly to my birthplace.
Since he was raised in San Diego, California, Ken wanted to find his next project from the Golden State, as opposed to his current Golden, er, Orange State. Great SoCal friend and car guy Steve Ravelli gave the Internet-found hauler a thorough going-over and arranged transport to the East Coast. Once the Chevy arrived in Orlando, Ken drove it home and begin deconstruction. He took the cab, bed, and body panels to good friend Paul Metz, owner of Metz Rod and Custom in Mont Dora, Florida. While Paul renewed the Chevy's exterior, Ken boxed the original frame and installed a Fat Man Fabrications IFS with polished stainless steel A-arms. The chassis is now 4.5 inches lower in the front and sports a Lincoln Versailles Ford 9-inch rear axle with the Versailles' disc brakes. The owner fabricated a 30-gallon aluminum fuel tank and installed it behind the differential before plumbing the fuel system with stainless lines.
Within the front framerails, Ken installed a homebuilt '89 Chevy 454ci big-block V-8 and topped it with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and 750-cfm four-barrel carb. A Hedman header and Flowmaster 2.5-inch custom exhaust send the spent fumes merrily streaming. Ken improved the TH400 trans that backs the beasty big-block with a Lokar shifter and finned billet trans cooler.
Since the Chevy's exterior panels were really California rust-free, body pro Paul Metz concentrated on preparing them for a perfect exterior finish. He filled all the seams and eventually sprayed the panels with PPG Viper Red and several clearcoats.
Once Ken wired the '55 utilizing an EZ Wiring harness and installed an Alpine CD/stereo system with six speakers, he handed the hauler off to Abdias Rivera for upholstery. Mr. Rivera worked wonders with some sumptuous leather and suede, making the '55's interior as comfortable as a modern luxury car's cockpit. His work took a bit longer than expected because his wife was expecting their first, Melony, who was born during his stitch time on the Chevy.
Thanks to Susan Germyn's photography, Steve Ravelli's expertise, and Roger Bolen for helping with the CNC programming on the aluminum components, Ken and the other craftsmen mentioned were able to complete the '55 in two years. The owner stated it best when he wrote on the tech sheet, "This truck is a true reflection of years of perfecting my skills and paying close attention to details."

Laa-dee-daa papaya juice
Retail therapy completed we exit the store and I offer the taller members of our party the opportunity to ride the Hulk coaster. Ellie is too short and as we already know doesnt do loop the loops, Nanny Lesley just doesnt do this stuff, Adrian and myself rode it last trip so, well weve done it. That leaves Big Steve and Lisa. They looked up at it and both replied with a firm, no. Hulk was out then, and so was Dr Doomfall as that is just a ridiculous concept for a ride or were all too scared to try it, you chose.
That was the complete circuit of the park completed and we had plenty of time to spare. We walked round into Port of Entry where some of us sat on a wall and gave Steven his milk, some of us visited restrooms, some of us purchased beverages, and one of us went into the Christmas themed shop to find their Cat silhouette. I was sitting feeding Steven when an Ellie shaped blur dashed out of the Christmas shop yelling, found it, before rushing across to the main shop opposite to find the last Cat and collect her prize. Nanny Lesley was following on behind her trying to keep track of her whereabouts. Oh and I remember that there was a Universal employee with one of those air cannon things firing it at every person that went past and it made a really annoying noise every time she did it.
After a couple of minutes Nanny Lesley came out saying that Ellie had completed her mission and was browsing the shop with Big Steve and Lisa. I enquired as to her prize and was informed that it was a small Cat in the Hat movie poster with a puzzle sheet on the back. Huh? Thats it? After all that stressing around the park, and believe me we did have a few, I cant find it, what shall we do, moments, she is rewarded with a small poster. Couldnt they at least have thrown in some candy or a button or something? However, Nanny Lesley informs me that Ellie is well pleased with her prize and thats all that matters really.
We still have an hour before park closing so we decided to nip back round and have another spin on Cat in the Hat as thats something that we can all ride. On the way there we spot the entrance to something called If I Ran The Zoo and peered in to investigate. The verdict from us is if you have young children you must go in here. Its an interactive playground built in a series of sections, each with many things to climb on, play with, and generally have fun doing. It was great, we spent ages in there.
The children enjoyed it a great deal too. Theres even a water section in there somewhere with a shallow pool and water toys. Steven took the opportunity to go for a little paddle, helped by Mummy of course. Theres an umbrella thing in here and if you stand under it and someone presses the button you get trapped underneath by water falling all around. Of course Adrian thought this would make a great photo so positioned Steven and myself strategically underneath and pressed the button. He didnt realise that when the water hit the floor it bounced up and got us wet. Stevens shorts were soaked and had to come off.
After being in here for ages its great, you have to go in there we remembered why we originally came round here and head off to Cat in the Hat again. Everyone goes to ride while I take Steven to dry him as best I can. Of course this is the day we dont have spare trousers for him. I wait in the gift shop/ride exit and see Big Steve and Harry come charging through and straight out without even seeing me. Curious. So I go round to where the buggies are parked and wait there. Everyone comes out eventually and it turns out that Big Steve had to bring Harry out and put his shoes on before they would let him ride. Harry has this habit of taking his shoes off all the time.
We make our way towards the park exit and as we get there we remember the gairy drum that needed picking up. We asked 3 Universal employees where to pick it up from and none of them new so eventually we had the bright idea of looking at the collection receipt and there was the location clearly marked. Drum safely retrieved, Ellie safely returned from restroom, we head back to the cars. There is a bit of a moment on the way back to King Kong because Ellie decided to rush ahead on the moving walkways and rushed too far ahead. Big Steve had to call her back and they had a bit of a discussion. Back down to the cars and back to the hotel without further incident. I dash back to our room with Steven and put dry trousers on him and dash back down to the cars where everyone else had waited for us.
We headed to The Crossroads again for dinner: TGI Fridays was on the menu tonight. Put our name down for a table then dashed back out to the car because wed left Stevens dinner in there and then only had a minute or so to wait before we were seated. A trip to the restroom by some of us resulted in an amazing discovery: automatic paper towel dispensers. Wicked. You just pressed a button and a pre-determined length of towel rolled majestically from the bottom of the machine for you to tear away. Magic. We all returned to the table and raved about this device causing the rest of our group to go and investigate. Amazing what will amuse a bunch of tired tourists all theme-parked out.
Our drinks arrive and are duly placed at our places. Our server then goes up to Nanny Lesley and announces, your papaya juice is just on its way. Well that set us all off. Papaya juice? What on earth is papaya juice? Yes I know its the juice of a papaya. But were strictly diet coke people and maybe the odd orange juice and now heres one of us ordering, as Big Steve puts it, laa-dee-daa papaya juice. OK again you had to be there and to know my family to think this was funny. It got even funnier when we all ordered burgers and steaks and Nanny Lesley ordered a laa-dee-daa chicken salad to go with her laa-dee-daa papaya juice.
Ellies loose tooth had finally given up its battle with survival on the trip to the restaurant so she was tucking into anything really chewable that shed been unable to manage over the last few days. Steven had an order of garlic breadsticks off of the menu, and a banana for dessert. Who knows what everyone else had, apart from the laa-dee-daa chicken salad of course.
Halfway through the meal, Mike the balloon guy came round to our table. Except Mike was now a young lady. Oh well, make Steven a teddy bear and lets see how we go from there. The teddy bear was acceptable, Ellies rabbit looked good, but Harrys motorbike looked like a dog. Still not figured that one out. Anyway, Adrian did the honors with the tip for her and she left us to finish our desserts which were well I dont have a clue what they were or whether we even had any.
On the way back to the hotel Steven had a meltdown. Really giving it some screaming in the back he was. Basically he was tired and wanted me but I was driving and he was in the back with Nanny Lesley. He was looking at me with a really evil look on his face. As soon as we were parked and I picked him up he calmed down. Guess sometimes only Mummies will do.
Adrian went down to the gift shop to pick up the stuff we had sent back by the Mousegears Worlds Slowest CM yesterday and while he did that Steven and myself got the changing bag ready for the morning. Adrian returned and we checked out all our booty and then we let Steven shred a few tissues before all retiring to bed. Steven liked to shred tissues and things. To keep him occupied in restaurants wed give him napkins and tissues to shred. His other great toy was the blue spoons from the food court. He thought they were the greatest: he loved holding one and waving it in the air. We had these spoons everywhere: in the room, in the changing bag, in the car, and Adrian found two in his jacket pocket a couple of days after we got back home.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) - You could see something unusual in the sky starting on Saturday.
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory says the Navy's Scientific Development Squadron ONE will launch the MZ-3A lighter-than-air "blimp" around the D.C. area.
According to the Navy, "the MZ-3A is propeller-driven by two 180 horsepower Lycoming engines producing a top speed just under 50 knots with an operational payload capability of up to 2,500 pounds. The manned 178-foot LTA craft can remain aloft and nearly stationary for more than twelve hours..."
The MZ-3A will conduct aerial mapping operations in the D.C. Flight Restriction Zone at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, in Beltsville, Md. and at U.S. Army Fort Belvoir located in Fairfax, Va. It will also conduct operations within the DCA-Special Flight Restrictions Area and fly in the region to the north to Frederick Municipal Airport in Maryland and to the southwest near Culpepper, Va.
The MZ-3A's flight in the D.C. area will end Oct. 5. It will then leave for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, N.J., according to Navy officials.

SHADYSIDE - The further a team advances in the postseason, the more contributions it needs from up and down its batting order.
It's no secret that St. John Central has relied on the top and middle of its order most of the season, but Wednesday night at the Mead Township Park Complex, the Irish (24-3) received four RBI from the No. 8 and 9 hitters in defeating Toronto, 7-1, in a Division IV co-sectional softball tournament final.
With the victory, top-seeded St. John Central makes its annual trip to Tuscarawas County Monday afternoon for district tournament action against the winner of today's Tuscarawas Catholic Central-Garaway game. Monday's game has a 5 p.m. first pitch.
Article Photos
Toronto catcher Kayla Brown anticipates the slide home from a St. John runner and prepares to tag for the out during Wednesday's game in Shadyside.
"This is the 12th time in 13 seasons that we've won the sectional," veteran head coach Jerry Magistro said. "I can't remember what year we didn't make it. All I know it was (Beallsville's) Charity Street's senior year."
St. John Central, which clobbered the same Red Knights recently by a 14-2 count, found itself locked in a 1-1 deadlock after 3 innings.
However, bunching five base hits together in the bottom of the fourth, the Irish tallied four runs and never looked back in bumping the margin to 5-1.
Morgan DeLuca ignited the outburst with a leadoff single through the left side of the Toronto infield. Caitlyn Sliva promptly singled up the middle, and Sydney Helms' single to left loaded the bases. Kristen Russell's single got the first run in and, after the first out was recorded, Cheyenne Harris' groundout plated the second.
Kyleigh Falcone's clutch two-out single concluded the rally.
"To get that kind of production from those two girls was great," Magistro said. "I think we are starting to hit all the way through our order."
Seven of the nine Irish batters recorded at least one base hit, with Sliva leading the way with a pair of singles and a triple. She drove in one run.
"Caitlin really hit the ball today," Magistro offered. "She's been coming around and swinging a hot bat."
Sliva scored the first run of the game on a single by Harris with two outs in the second. Helms was thrown out trying to score on a fine relay by the Red Knights.
Toronto drew even when Becky Schaming double to left with two outs.
Shane Sears singled down the right field line as Schaming raced home.
"You can't afford to make any mistakes against a team like St. John Central," Toronto head coach Eugene Cicarelli said. "My girls played their hearts out. They gave it all they had, and as a coach, you can't ask for any more than that.
"What I do know, if you didn't pitch well and hit well, we were probably going to beat you because we were steady all season long," he added. "We usually played within our limits."
The Irish added two more insurance runs in the fifth when courtesy runner Natalie Cervelli safely slide home on the back-end of a double steal and Sliva's single plated Abby Adams.
"Give Toronto credit," Magistro said. "They came to play today."
Hannah Absalom struck out 13 and walked just one in tossing a 3-hitter. She retired 13 of the last 14 Red Knights she faced.

McClean, 23, who came on as a substitute after 70 minutes, received the boos due to his request to wear a shirt without a poppy for last week's match against Everton.
The winger is from the Creggan estate in Derry where six people were shot by British military during Bloody Sunday in 1972.
"James will deal with it," O'Neill said of the boos. "I think it is probably to do with the issue of last week. It's a free choice in this world. James has lived with a lot of things. He's getting death threats as well now so that doesn't help."
It is understood O'Neill was referring to the incident in which 29-year-old Mancunian Codey Lachey posted images of 5.6mm bullets on McClean's Twitter timeline, while saying he "wanted him dead". On Sunday, however, Lachey - who described himself on the social network as a "6ft 3 ex-army lad" - said he no longer felt that way, in the face of a possible police investigation.
The former soldier was quoted in Sunday's Derry Journal as saying "I wanted him dead. But there's no threat from me to James McClean now, although I can't be held responsible for what other people may do."
Lachey had also sent a threat against McClean to Sinn Fein newspaper An Phoblacht.
"Too right he deserves to be shot dead," Lachey wrote, "+ body dragged past the cenotaph! I think he's a f***ing disgrace. I know I'll end up in trouble and maybe in prison over this but I'm willing to go to court, that's how strongly I feel."
Elsewhere, McClean has also been criticised by Northern Ireland international Warren Feeney, due to his decision to represent the Republic of Ireland rather than the country of his birth.
Feeney, 31, wrote in Belfast's Sunday Life that such 'cringeworthy' incidents as the poppy made him glad McClean was not an international team-mate.
Celtic thread
to not do so beggars belief
Freedom of speech isnt the same there as here
The same should go for McClean, who should have found a less explosive time to display a political message.
quote:wow you think a simple cost/benefit analysis could help this idiot out? Try and think through the financial implications to taking this decision...I think if I was this a-hole's agent I would drop the dumb count as a client. Seriously you might as well burn an American flag at a VFW hall... Some crackpot threatening this guy may be the least of his problems...
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Try and think through the financial implications to taking this decision...I think if I was this a-hole's agent I would drop the dumb count as a client.
Seriously you might as well burn an American flag at a VFW hall
So pissing off many of his own supporters has no long term ramifications? Perhaps I am not making myself clear, this is a self-damaging career move.
Regardless of Britain's crap reputation as a colonial power pissing off your own fanbase is not good for your own bottom line
I'm sure plenty of Irishmen died in the first World War.
I did read about some that fought in World War II for the British.

Take 5 With Courtney ForceWritten by on August 7, 2012
The name Force is synonymous with drag racing, thanks to a whopping 15 NHRA Top Fuel Funny Car championship trophies on John Force's mantle. But it's not just John who makes news; his daughter, Ashley, was the first woman to win in a Funny Car (poetically, against her dad). Ashley stepped out of the spotlight after becoming a mother, and her youngest sister, 24-year-old Courtney, is the one making waves today. As the Force girl with the strongest desire to follow in her father's footsteps, it was no surprise that she won her very first round of NHRA Funny Car competition at the Winternationals in Pomona against Bob Tasca III. Then she won another round, against her dad, in Phoenix the following weekend. Could she be the next big thing in drag racing? With one of the best teams, a winning smile, and a truly nice disposition, we think so. We sat with Courtney in the team's former shop (now a showroom) in Yorba Linda, California, and threw some questions at her. Learn more at CourtneyForce.com.
HRM] How did that first round at Pomona feel?
CF] I was in shock! We had a consistent car all weekend at Pomona, so I was happy about that. My main goal was to just get the car qualified, so once we'd done that, going up for first round I wasn't really nervous. I said to myself, "I've already done what I really wanted to do." Tasca got out ahead of me and right at the end he had a problem with his car. He just kind of fell back, and I just held on hoping nothing would go wrong with my car. Then I saw the win light and started screaming at my guys on the radio, "I can't believe we just won!" I was so excited and hopped out of my car and then had to make sure we actually won before I went and did an interview. It was cool.
HRM] When you win your first event, who would you like to beat in the final? You can't say your dad.
CF] One of the veteran drivers, like Robert [Hight, her teammate and brother-in-law] or [Matt] Hagan. Any of them would be pretty tough to beat in the final, and I think that would be the coolest.
HRM] Will Ashley get back in a car?
CF] I think so. I think she will. She's obviously taking a break now because she just had Jacob. But I see how she is when she gets back out at the racetrack, and she's always having fun. She's enjoying watching me for now, but I think eventually…I want her out there, I want to compete against her!
HRM] What's the most scared you've ever been in a race car?
CF] Probably the first time it dropped two cylinders and spun the tires at the other end, and made a hard left to the wall. That was in testing, in Charlotte. I pulled it back but it was a surprise to me--I hadn't ever experienced that before. That was my first time spinning the tires at the other end, and I ended up scraping all the paint off my car. I wasn't really scared; it just threw me off. I learned from it and said, "OK, I never want to do that again."
HRM] What was the first car you ever took down the quarter-mile?
CF] A Super Comp dragster. I was 16. I was pushing my parents and said, "The minute I turn 16, I'm going to Frank Hawley's drag racing school, I want to get licensed, I want to start racing as soon as possible." I knew it would be a long process before I could eventually go into a Funny Car, and that was my ultimate goal. So yeah, my first time was a Super Comp dragster, and Jack Beckman was my instructor.
HRM] Who's your biggest hero outside your family?
CF] Probably Shirley Muldowney. She's kind of the reason we're all in it, you know, the girls. She paved the way for all of us women racers. She got the brunt of it and was the only one out there against all these guys. I can't imagine how it would have been. It's still tough, but it's a little more accepted now. She went out and stuck to her guns and wanted to be a race car driver and did it. And I think that's pretty cool, very admirable.
HRM] What's your daily driver?
CF] It's a Mustang 5.0.
HRM] Is it stock?
CF] It is. I might speed it up a little, but it's good as it is. I have another fast car for the weekends, so...
HRM] Your dad has quite a few cars and some hot rods. If you could have one, which would it be?
CF] His Ford GT, not just because it's a Ford but I've always been a fast, hot rod kind of girl. I love old Mustangs, but I also love the fast new ones.
HRM] If your dad had his jaw wired shut and couldn't speak, how long before his head exploded?
CF] Probably five minutes. We've tried it. He'll say, "I won't talk for the rest of the night." And we'll count and then it won't even be 20 seconds later and he blurts something out. We're like, "You promised you weren't going to say anything!" and he tries it again, and he can't. That's just his personality--he's loud and he likes to talk all the time. I've never seen him sit there and be quiet.
HRM] Which one's more fun, the dragster or the Funny Car?
CF] I think the Funny Car. There's a lot more going on. The engine's right in front of you. I love the warmups in the car and doing the burnouts--it's a lot of fun. The dragster just stays pretty smooth and straight, but the Funny Car is loud and exciting. All the action's in front of you, and you're sitting between the tires. It's really cool.
HRM] What did it feel like when the body first came down?
CF] Oh my gosh! I'd always watched it from the starting line and had a sick feeling and thinking, I can't imagine being in that seat. And now I am. It was so strange the first time they put it down and I thought, OK, it's all up to me now. No one can help me anymore. I'm controlling the car and I have to remember everything everyone's taught me and not be afraid. It went good, though.
HRM] You're the only Force daughter who wanted to race since you were little.
CF] Yeah. I grew up drawing pictures of race cars and me racing my dad. I always had all his sponsors on the side. I even made one that said Don Prudhomme. I just always looked up to these guys. My dad brought his big rig and Funny Car to my school every year, from like first grade on. Dad would talk to the class, and let a kid wear a helmet or sit in the car. And I thought it was just so cool. I was like, "This is what I want to do. I want to grow up to be like my dad." I was kind of a tomboy. I loved being at the racetrack and hanging out with all the crew guys and getting dirty. Whenever they'd ask in class what you wanted to be, I was always the first one with my hand in the air.
HRM] Ashley was named World's Hottest Athlete by AOL Sports. Are you hotter than her?
CF] Oh my gosh, no! She's gorgeous and has so much going for her. She was a great racer and has an amazing personality to go with her good looks. That's tough to compete against! I can't talk smack on her…she's too nice!
HRM] What would you do if you didn't race?
CF] I don't know. I never had a backup plan. I thought about it before I went into racing. Alright, Courtney, if I get into the car and I'm terrified or not good at it, or I just can't do it, I need a backup plan. I went to college always asking, Can I do this if racing doesn't work out? and I never came up with anything. I got my bachelor's degree in communications focused on entertainment studies, so I guess I could work for NHRA or my dad, but I never really had a backup plan.
HRM] What's your favorite part of racing outside of driving?
CF] Traveling. And this sounds really cheesy, but just being with my family. I think it's cool that this is a family business, and I get to be with my family. I grew up with my family being in it, and now Ashley's kid, Jacob, is coming, and it's so much fun having everyone out there cheering us on. And it's all the same people at our company. John Medlin is back, and it's good having him back. Bernie Fedderly and obviously Austin Coil. They were all like big brothers to me, so it's like a big family team.
HRM] If you ever have kids, would you encourage them to go racing or persuade them not to?
CF] I don't think I would persuade them not to. I would find it weird if I had a kid and the kid didn't want to go racing, because I was so hard-core about it. I would bring them around to the races because I think it's such an amazing sport. It is dangerous, so that would probably be the hardest thing. My dad didn't hold me back, and he knew how bad I wanted it, and the same with my mom. They were encouraging and supportive, so I think I'd be OK. But I'd probably be racing right next to them like my dad does with us.
HRM] When do you think you'll get your first event win?
CF] Oh, man, that seems so far away! I've been very lucky lately. I have a great team and a great crew chief and that's definitely something that helps me out as a driver. I'm still learning in the car, I'm still a rookie driver, I'm still just taking it day by day. I don't want to lose focus. I just focus on getting the car qualified, keep it going straight down the groove, and just go round by round and not think about the other end with the trophy…I don't think that far ahead. Hopefully, if it's consistent enough, we will get one this season. That would be pretty cool.

His groomer was surprised and asked me what I was feeding him and I told her about the product. I really recommendthis chews to others, give them a try!!

Just a Treat
By DocG
from Baltimore, MD
I though this would help with the skin allergies but it has no effect. My dog likes it as a treat and I am certain it is good for her, but it did not have the intended effect.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Helps with itching
By Mary Mac
from Oakland, CA
My dog has skin that is very prone to itchiness. I had been adding fish oil to her food for many months and while that worked fine she didn't really like it - she just tolerated it. She's pretty small so giving her the fish oil capsules in a treat wouldn't really work since the capsules tend to be quite large.As an experiment I tried these Skin and Coat chews to get the Omega 3s into her in a palatable fashion and to my surprise, it worked! Her itchiness is vastly improved and she loves these things.Suggested serving is 1-2 treats per 25lbs per day. I started out giving two but didn't see an effect. But when I started giving her 4 (2 in the morning, 2 in the evening) her itchiness rapidly diminished. I plan to try to reduce that to 3 per day, then back to 2, but 4 per day really does the trick for her right now (she's 15lbs).

I was on the verge of migrating from Domino to a hosted Exchange/Sharepoint solution... then I found Zimbra! That threw a spanner in the works! I'm not a big fan of Exchange, and Domino even less so, but the Sharepoint integration with MS products is persuasive...
We're a small non-profit with 40 staff. Exchange hosting is relatively expensive, but still cheaper than Domino license and upkeep (taking IT staff time into account). As for Sharepoint, hosting is cheap ($15-30/mth). There are features we can use right away (Wiki for instance) and we would probably use document management and workflow later. There are many features we would not use, but that I could see would be useful in a larger organization.
Does anyone here have experience running Zimbra and Sharepoint together? Not being a full bottle (yet) on Sharepoint, what functionality we might have to give up by NOT going the Exchange/Sharepoint route? If it's only calendar sharing (say), and we can do that in Zimbra anyway, it may not be a big issue for us and we can go ahead with both Zimbra and Sharepoint.
Or are there (easy) ways we can get most of the Sharepoint functionality we desire out of Zimbra with Zimlets?

WHEELING - The move from West Liberty University to the Wheeling Park Tennis Bubble because of the weather did little to affect the outcome of the OVAC Girls' Tennis Championships.
Form held true for the most part Wednesday as all four No. 1 seeds claimed singles titles as the two-day event wrapped up.
University had two of the winners, and that was enough to lift the Hawks to their second straight overall and Class 5A championships.
Article Photos
Linsly's Jackie McDermott returns a shot during her match on Wednesday. McDermott finished second at No. 1 Singles. Morgantown's Stephanie Arnold finished first.
Linsly captured the Class 4A-1A crown. The Cadets finished tied with Oak Glen in points, but won on the final tiebreaker - the team that has its No. 1 Doubles duo advance furthest.
The Hawks accumulated 24 points, followed by Morgantown with 20 and Parkersburg South with 13. Linsly and Oak Glen had 11, followed by Wheeling Park with eight, John Marshall and St. Clairsville with four, Madonna and Wheeling Central with three, Brooke with two and Indian Creek one. Weir didn't score.
Jackie McDermott led the way for the Cadets, finishing second at No. 1 Singles to Morgantown's Stephanie Arnold. Arnold, the top seed, topped No. 2-seeded McDermott, 8-5, for her third straight victory in the category.

''(Arnold) won most of the big points,'' Linsly coach Dave Riethmiller said. ''Jackie had some game points and break points in those early games but still fell down, 4-0.
''Arnold played great. She was playing well in the big situations.''
This was McDermott's first appearance at No. 1 Singles. The junior won the No. 2 Singles titles the last two years.
Linsly's Amika Ekenam advanced to the semifinals at No. 2 Singles, while teammate Emmy Weaver won a match at No. 3 Singles. Jasmine Shah also won a match at No. 4 Singles.
''It was a rebuilding year for us, pretty much,'' Riethmiller said. ''We lost four strong seniors off of last year's team and had several newcomers. Four of the six had never played a varsity match before.''
Abby Rosiello won the Mohigans' other title at No. 2 Singles where she bested University's Alyssa Rees, 8-1.
Cassie Seamon and Meghan Zerkel claimed championships at No. 3 and No. 4 Singles, respectively, for the Hawks. Seamon bested Parkersburg South's Jessie Mongilio, 8-0, while Zerkel topped Oak Glen's Madison Juszczak by the same score.
''This is the second year in a row we've been able to do this,'' University coach Tom Bloom said. ''I have an exceptional group of ladies who've been together for three years. They're all juniors and they played to the best of their ability.
''They really wanted to achieve this in getting ready for regionals and state.''
The regional tournament is next weekend, with the state tournament the following week in Charleston.
Bloom said playing indoors was an advantage.
''You don't have the weather conditions like sun and wind and they practice inside,'' he said. ''They've been here before and they really came through under the pressure situations and responded well.''
Wheeling Central's Joanna Capito advanced to the semifinals at No. 1 Singles before falling to Arnold.
Wheeling Park's Emily Capehart reached the semis at No. 2 Singles before losing to Rosiello, 8-0.
The Golden Bears Abbi Sayre reached the semis at No. 3 Singles
Indian Creek's Jessica Furda was named the recipient of the Carol Strasser Sportsmanship Award. All coaches submit a nominee for the honor and a winner is drawn from that group. ...Awards were presented to Monday's winning doubles duos - Morgantown's Arnold and Rosiello (No. 1), University's Seamon and Zerkel (No. 2) and the Hawks' Shae Chico and MacKenzie Buck (No. 3).

A look at BlackBerry maker Research in Motion
Research In Motion Ltd. is changing its name to BlackBerry as the Canadian company develops two new phones with a modern operating system called BlackBerry 10. RIM is counting on the new system to help with a turnaround. Here's a look at recent developments as the company struggles to regain market share lost to Apple's iPhone and devices running Google's Android operating software.
Sept. 15, 2011: RIM says it has sold far fewer PlayBook tablet computers than it expected, as the company reports a sharp drop in net income and revenue in the fiscal second quarter.
Oct. 25: RIM says it is delaying the launch of an upgraded operating system for the PlayBook until February, saying it isn't up to its standards yet. The company also says the new version initially won't have the popular messaging service BlackBerry Messenger. It's the third delay announced since the features were promised in April.
Dec. 2: RIM says it is writing off much of its inventory of PlayBook tablets after it had to sell them at a deep discount. The model originally priced at $500 now costs $200. The company says it's taking a pre-tax charge of $485 million in the just-ended quarter. RIM also says it will sell fewer BlackBerrys in the holiday quarter than in the one that just ended. It also says it won't meet full-year earnings guidance of $5.25 to $6 per share, the third cut in a row.
Dec. 6: RIM says "BlackBerry 10" will be the new name for its next-generation system after the company loses a trademark ruling on its previous name, BBX.
Dec. 15: RIM says new phones deemed critical to the company's future won't be out until late 2012. The company says the BlackBerry 10 phones will need a highly integrated chipset that won't be available until mid-2012, so the company can now expect the new phones to ship late in the year. The company also says BlackBerry sales will fall sharply in the holiday quarter compared with the three months that ended Nov. 26. RIM says it would only ship between 11 million and 12 million BlackBerrys in the fourth quarter, down from 14.1 million in the third quarter.
Jan. 22, 2012: RIM founder Mike Lazaridis and long-time executive Jim Balsillie announce they will step down as co-CEOs. Thorsten Heins, a chief operating officer who joined RIM four years ago from Siemens AG, was named as their replacement. Lazaridis and Balsillie remain on the board.
Feb. 21: RIM finally releases an upgraded operating system for its PlayBook. The free upgrade allows for built-in email, calendar and contacts on the tablet - features promised within 60 days after the PlayBook's launch last April. The PlayBook had received negative reviews because it launched without an email program and the popular messaging service BlackBerry Messenger. The new version still doesn't include the messaging service.
March 29: RIM says Balsillie has resigned from its board, and two top executives are leaving. RIM also writes down the value of its product inventory again as the company reports a loss of $125 million, its first quarterly loss since fiscal 2005. Heins doesn't rule out a sale, but he says it is not the main direction of the strategic review he's overseeing.
April 26: Newest board member of RIM says a turnaround could take three to five years. Prem Watsa, RIM's third-largest investor, says he sees his investment in the company as a long-term one, adding that RIM's fortunes won't be reversed soon.
May 1: RIM unveils a newly designed smartphone prototype powered by its upcoming BlackBerry 10 system. The prototype BlackBerry has a touch screen, but no physical keyboard like most BlackBerry models. No update was given on the new system's launch date.

I tried to download the mobile client. The download is broken. I only get a very small .jad file (638 bytes). I tried different browsers on desktop, mobile browser, different location.
The jad files are some kind of redirector and my phone E71 doesn't like it (invalid). I did manage to install it by downloading the jar file from http://www.testzimbra.com/zimbrame/j..._US-0.9.34.jar . It works.

Hi All,
We wanted to take a second to introduce a new feature of the Community that we hope you will use/enjoy.
It's called the Community Sandbox. Basically, it's our way of tie-ing the forums into the wiki.
Every member of the Zimbra Forums has a Wiki page area that they can post anything they want. We all know a lot of you have this massive text file with your most common commands that you use Well, now you have a place to store it that won't go away when you re-install windows (for the 4th time this year).
Anyway, this comes with a couple caveats: You can post almost anything Zimbra related you want. You can also post about yourself, if you want. However, keep in mind that as a wiki, people can edit your page. Also, it's publicly viewable by anyone.
If you want, you can opt-out of this. Just pvt a moderator, and we'll protect your page, if you want. You should only pvt a mod to do this, if you intend on keeping it locked.
You'll notice under the member's name on each post, is there wiki page. Take a look at this page for an example of how it will/does work.
Well, we hope you take advantage of this new tool!! Have fun
Mike, John, and all the rest of your fantastic Zimbra Team and Moderators.
