Blackburn Air Tower HP Pump $0.00
The bigot in us loved that our old floor pump came with a Presta-only head. With a brass chuck and simple rubber internals, it was easy to use. Our buddies with cheap bikes that had schrader valves wouldn't get anything if they walked away with it. It's this prejudice that rears up when we look at the Blackburn AirTower HP Pump.
It has a beautiful, aluminum Presta-specific chuck. Unlike our old Silca, this one is self-energizing and has a release button and bleed valve. It means you neither have to push it on hard, nor is it tough to pull from the valve stem when you're done. And with the bleed valve, you can make fractional adjustments without removing the chuck to dial your pressures to perfection. Easy peasy, as a friend used to say.
A beautiful chuck is nice, and if you've seen the old Campagnolo steel head for Silca Impero frame pumps, you know what they can look like. But as with the old Silca, the head isn't everything. It's a good thing the Blackburn has everything else -- a stable aluminum base, a high volume aluminum barrel, an easy to read oversized gauge, and another nicety, a long hose. The wide handle has storage drawers inside for small items like inflation needles or a disc wheel adapter.
To give you a sense of how the pump works on a tire, a 700x23 Continental tubular went from flat to 120psi in 14 strokes.
The Blackburn AirTower HP stows away nicely when the hose is wrapped around the top of the handle and is cinched down. The max pressure is 220psi, and it has a lifetime warranty. The claimed weight is 1555g.

Best everyday pump
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the best everyday pump I've used. Never fails, never pops tubes, never any surprises. Probably will have it forever. I think once I changed the little thing inside for a few bucks.
What valve stems does this work on? I have...
What valve stems does this work on? I have both kinds (one on my mtn bike and another on my road bike)
Hey shari,
Thanks for the question. The Blackburn Air Tower HP Pump has a Presta valve head only and will not work with Schrader valves. However, the Lezyne CNC Travel Drive Floor Pump will work for both valves and has a similar price range.
Good pump
I have no problems like the previous reviewer. The gauge has a little arrow doodad indicator thing that you can set, just pump until you hit that mark then stop. I also have no problems with removing the presta only push on valve chuck. Just hold the tube valve with one hand and pull off the chuck with the other. I've never lost any air. The barrel length is long, it takes me about 25-30 strokes to inflate a 700x25 tire. All the Blackburn pumps I have ever owned eventfully go south and by the time they do (3-4 years) the parts are not available any longer. Other than that, it's a floor pump, gets air into your tires.
Look at the warranty! Did you see that it is lifetime? You call them show proof of purchase and they send you a new pump if no spare parts are available. Why would you purchase from anyone else. Track 4 pro pump does both presta and schrader values
Can this pump be used for car or light...
Can this pump be used for car or light truck tires.
What valve stems does this work on? I have both kinds (one on my mtn bike and another on my road bike)
I actually used it once for my car to pump it up to 35 PSI. Not easy and not intended, but it worked.
Don't Bother With This One
Unlike the previous reviewer, I did buy this new for 2009 pump. Unfortunately it has been a huge disappointment.
The gauge is extremely hard to see, even close up. For the lb. markings it's got dark gray lines on a black background with tiny numbers - go figure, especially since it's all the way at the bottom of the pump.
I had high hopes for the presta specific head, but turns out it sucks. It's almost impossible to remove the head without letting air out because of the bleed valve setup. I asked Blackburn support about this but they were clueless on the phone and then never returned my emails. I had to remove the bleed valve internals so I could get the head off without loosing all the air. This turns the bleed valve into a pressure release (mentioned in the Blackburn description but no where in the instructions nor did anyone at Blackburn seem to know about this) which should make the pump head easier to remove. But even with the pressure released, it's way too hard to remove the head from the valve. This means you will periodically tear your valves off. Just what you want right before a ride.
It does pump well, but it's a floor pump, they all pump well. I really did want to like this pump but it's all about the pump head and the gauge. Both of which suck on this pump.
Needless to say the pump's going back.
let me tell you, this is the best pump you can buy. I have had mine for 10 years and now am ready to buy the new hp, go out and get one today, you want be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for building an absolutely great product. bmx racer for 10 years (profile xxl)

I'm pretty sure that they are stainless steel. I will have to ask him to be sure, but I don't think that they would order titanium valves without asking me first.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - United States women's national team midfielder
Carli Lloyd is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after fracturing a bone in
her shoulder.
Lloyd sustained the injury in the second half of a 3-0 win over Iceland in the
Algarve Cup, and she has missed the team's last two games while undergoing
An MRI has since revealed the extent of the problem, which will not require
surgery, but will prevent Lloyd from participating in the first month of the
season for the Western New York Flash of the new National Women's Soccer
League, which begins play in April.
"Although it's an unfortunate circumstance, I've been through injuries before
and have come back even stronger," said Lloyd. "I'm disappointed that I'll be
missing some national team events and some league games, but as soon as my
shoulder allows, I'll be back and ready to compete."

My suspicion is if a large organization has multiple email servers, then postfix may just be looking at the nslookup results of the first returned server, see there is not a match and then drop it?
Any thoughts on this? Do I have something configured wrong? Maybe dns not working properly?

thank god.
probably the right choice, not fair to the rest of the team and he does seem like a changed person
IMO this is the right move. We are down to the bare bones and if Coach Mac thinks Colvin has earned the chance to redeem himself then we have to trust him.
I agree with the decision. Suit him up, use him if you need him.
Nice comment by Mac on the red shirt situation.
As long as he is not used until he is absolutely needed, then I'm OK with this.
sweet, i hope we use him. i germans.
"I have come back to life!"- Ca-Mun-Rah/ THE DURANTULA"
I disagree with the decision but won't bash him for doing it. Hopefully they are just using him on an "emergency only" role.
I wish McD would have not put a timeline on this suspension like he did. It would have made this decision a lot easier.
We'll see how much Colvin will actually play. I suspect he is just dressing for emergency purposes and Mac will only put him in if absolutely needed.

I would assume this is the case, for if someone gets injured so we're not ******
I hope he would only play tonight in case of an injury, major foul trouble, etc. I think we play with 7 tonight and again against KU. If the team members are ok with bringing him back for the OU game (shortening his suspension by 5 days) I would then be ok with it.
Good deal. Go Cyclones!

Hello all,
My work is testing Zimbra on CentOS 6 to possibly use to host for customers. I ran into something that has been tough to find a good answer on. After the installation was complete, I wasn't able to send/receive mail on test accounts. Under the admin console under the service tab it shows a red X next to MTA. This may or may not be a really dumb question but I'm guessing that's my problem and I have no idea what the cause is based off of the google searches I did. If anyone can help it would be great! Thanks.

WHEELING - As word continues to leak that the end to the ridiculous NHL lockout may be drawing near, hockey fans throughout the world are understandably beginning to get excited for the first time in months. But there are plenty of hockey players, whether pushed down a league or forced out of the minor leagues all together, that are following every word the game's top scribes are penning.
For instance, take Wheeling Nailers defenseman Carl Sneep. A victim of a numbers game with the Pittsburgh Penguins affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Sneep has spent the last 23 games biding his time at WesBanco Arena.
The end of the lockout would almost immediately signal his last game in the ECHL.
''I don't really know exactly what's going on but you hear things,'' Sneep said. ''It seems like a lot of positive stuff is happening now and hopefully they can get a deal done soon.
''That would probably mean I wouldn't be here anymore, but that's what I want - to be back at Wilkes-Barre at the next level.''
Don't misunderstand. That's not a knock on Wheeling or the time Sneep has spent here. It's merely a case of a young man trying to advance his career.
However, even he admits it would be a bit difficult leaving a group of guys he's gotten to know well while contributing 12 points (2g-10a) and a plus-9 rating.
''There's good guys on this team and I've had some fun getting to know some guys,'' Sneep said. ''If it gets to the point I'm leaving, I would wish them luck and hopefully keep in touch with them to see how the season goes.
''It's not a mystery how many defensemen there are in Wilkes-Barre. I think there's still nine and that's typically more than you carry. It's partially a numbers thing, and there's parts of my games defensively they want me to work on - finishing plays, being better on the penalty kill.
''I've been working on those things while I've been here so that if I get the opportunity to go back up, I will be better because of my time here.''
He probably won't be the only to go. Guys like Scott Zurevinski, Luke Pither, Cody Chupp, Chris Barton and Peter Merth could all get looks in the AHL. That makes life exceedingly more difficult for an ECHL coach like Wheeling's Clark Donatelli, who already has so much on his plate.
''You start running the numbers. As soon as it ends, just looking at the waiver wire, guys who are on entry-level contracts, I think three guys have to go up and clear waivers,'' Donatelli said. ''If my math's right, that's three defensemen that would go up.
''I've got to talk to Wilkes-Barre to see what's the latest with them. We're constantly re-arranging our board with Wilkes-Barre, but we've got to factor in two more teams with Montreal and (Pittsburgh). It does get crazy.''
The area Wheeling would seem to have an advantage in the case of call-ups, is at goaltender. The Nailers already have Scott Darling and Peter Delmas splitting time, while Patrick Killeen, who was on the ice Thursday, is working his way back from a fractured hand.
''That's a good numbers problem because we've got three good goaltenders. How long that's going to last I don't know,'' Donatelli said. ''We keep a close eye on Hamilton. I'm in close contact with them to see what they're doing. Usually those things pan themselves out.
''That's a good situation for us to be in.''
In addition, the team looks to be getting healthy. Forward Ben Farrer (two), Zack Torquato (six), Adam Payerl (one), Reid McNeill (12) and Chupp (21), who have all been beset by injuries for a large portion of the season, are close to returning with fresh legs.
''Payerl is a really good, strong skater and is getting there and is really close,'' Donatelli said. ''Torquato is really close also, and it looks like Benny will be going this weekend. He's a good defensive forward for us, a guy who can put the puck in the net and he's a guy who wants to be out there late in games. We've kind of lacked that aspect. He takes pride in that and I think that's going to button itself up and it's going to help our penalty kill.''
The number of games, or lack thereof, that group has played, is not lost on the coach.
''We're 31 games into it and some of the guys have only played five, six games,'' Donatelli said. ''When they come back healthy it's going to be refreshing for us. Some of our really good core players who are coming back.
''We're looking good if all the stars line up.''

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Top seed and defending champion
Victoria Azarenka was on the ropes in her third-round match at the Australian
Open, but she overcame American Jamie Hampton in three sets.
American Serena Williams, a five-time Aussie champ, also reached the fourth
round Saturday thanks to a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Japan's Ayumi Morita.
Azarenka's 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 win came only after the native of Belarus rallied
against Hampton, who was suffering from chronic back problems during the
match. After the encounter, Hampton revealed she had a pair of herniated disks
in her lower back.
"Hurt my back last year at the French Open pretty badly," Hampton said. "It's
something I deal with day to day, and, yeah, it was hurting. Normally when my
back starts hurting I start cramping."
Hampton, ranked 63rd in the world, was ahead 2-1 in the final set, but she
couldn't convert key break point opportunities and suffered 47 unforced
errors. Even being down 4-2 in that last set, Hampton raced to a 40-0 lead in
the seventh game, but Azarenka saved all three break point chances and then
finished off the match in 2 hours, 9 minutes.
Williams recorded the fifth-fastest serve in the history of women's tennis,
rocketing one 128.7 mph in a quick first set. Morita took the first three
games of the second before Williams came storming back in dominating fashion.
The 15-time Grand Slam champion Williams is the reigning Wimbledon and U.S.
Open champ who is seeking a third straight major title.
Also Saturday, 14th-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko disposed of 20th-seeded
Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3. Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova, a two-
time major champion, defeated Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 to
advance to the round of 16 as well.

BOSTON (Reuters) – Former National Football League player Aaron Hernandez was indicted on first-degree murder by a grand jury in Massachusetts for the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, a court official said on Thursday.
Hernandez, a former New England Patriots tight end, is scheduled to appear in a Massachusetts court on Thursday for a hearing related to the June shooting of Lloyd, whose bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Massachusetts.
An official with the Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts, who declined to give her name citing court policy, said Hernandez had been indicted. A spokesman for Bristol Country District Attorney Sam Sutter declined to comment.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts, including murder and weapons charges tied to Lloyd's death. A lawyer for Hernandez has called the prosecution's case circumstantial.
Hernandez is due to appear at Attleboro District Court on Thursday at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT).
Hernandez was cut from the Patriots on June 26, shortly after police arrested him for purportedly orchestrating the execution-style murder.
Lloyd, 27, had been dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancée. Prosecutors said Hernandez soured on him a few nights before the body was found, and that the two had argued after Lloyd socialized at a nightclub with people Hernandez disliked.
Two other men have been arrested in connection with the case: Ernest Wallace, who turned himself in to police in Florida and has been accused of being an "accessory after the fact," and Carlos Ortiz, arrested in Connecticut on charges of being a fugitive from justice.
Hernandez, 23, had been a rising star in the NFL who signed a $41 million contract with one of the league's top franchises before his arrest.
Earlier this month, the TMZ website published an image of what it said was a letter Hernandez wrote to a fan from jail saying he believed God was testing him, and that eventually he would be found not guilty of murder.

Filter drummer Jeff Fabb was barred from a restaurant on Wednesday night because of his neck tattoo.
The rockers headed to meet fans at Brothers Bar & Grill in Denver, Colorado after their show in the city but Fabb was refused entry because of his visible ink.
The band has posted a video on YouTube.com showing them being turned away from the bar, and Fabb told the Hollywood Reporter, "I had eaten in the restaurant twice, and after the show we walked back there. The door guy was about to let Amir, our merch (merchandise) guy in, but he wouldn't let me in. I went to speak with the manager and he was confrontational from the moment he saw me. He really didn't care that we'd been there earlier. I was kind of hurt, since most of the people who were in there at the time were from our show and we wanted to join them."
Patrick called for a boycott of the restaurant chain, adding, "This is prejudice pure and simple."

15:00 to 17:00: Advancing the Sustainability Science Agenda: To Support Sustainable Development and the Green Economy
22 Jun 2012 - 22 Jun 2012Sustainability challenges of the 21st century demand an unprecedented level of cooperation between science and society � (�science� here mean the natural and social sciences, as well as engineering and the humanities).
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
A close partnership between science and society is essential to provide the knowledge and scientific underpinning to the Green Economy and other development challenges, and to understand and find solutions to climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity decline, land degradation, and other global environmental changes. One of the main gains from this strengthened partnership will be a new "sustainability science agenda" in which scientists work in a more concerted way to support the world's sustainable development efforts.
This side event will explore four very important and new developments concerned with advancing the world's sustainability science agenda, including the main messages from the Planet Under Pressure Conference that took place in London in March 2012, the critical emerging sustainability issues as identified via the UNEP Foresight Process and the GEO-5 Asessment, The Future Earth Initiative on a new architecture of worldwide global change research, and the findings from the ICSU/UNESCO consultation of scientific communities.

A very special pregame ceremony will be held on Friday, Sept. 28, the Braves said in a statement released Monday. More details will be released closer to the event.
"In this day and age, it is extremely rare that a player of Chipper's stature remains with one team for his entire career," Atlanta Braves president John Schuerholz said in the statement. "We are most fortunate and especially honored to have had him in a Braves uniform for his remarkable 20-year career and we will show him how much he has meant to us."
The Braves also plan to begin selling a commemorative Chipper Jones souvenir program during the New York Mets series that starts Friday. The program features articles from Jones' parents, childhood friends, high school coach, agent and former Braves manager Bobby Cox. It also contains quotes from current and former teammates, other MLB players and celebrities.
The souvenir program will be available for $5 at Turner Field and at the Braves Clubhouse Store at CNN Center.

City Council President George Thomas says Meridian needs new athletic facilities, and they need a lot of them.
"We at one time were a leader in the state as far as athletic facilities," says Thomas, "but we're getting the point where we aren't anymore, and it's a major economic development opportunity for the city."
Thomas thinks a tax on prepared food and drinks would help raise the money necessary for the facility.
"If we could secure a prepared food and beverage tax it would be about one or two percent on your bill, to do that we need approval from the legislature, and then it would go to a vote with the citizens they would have to approve it."
City officials agree that before they go to the legislature with any plan for funding the complex, they need to find a place to put it.
"We've been meeting with some of the people in the city and the county, and some of the sports," says Parks and Rec Director Mark Naylor, "but I believe [Thomas] is going to appoint a committee to get our heads together and come up with the best possible location."
Thomas points to the State Games as one way a new sports complex could immediately pay dividends for the City of Meridian. If he has his way, the ball will get rolling on this project sooner than later.

So with 0 points your name goes in one time.
With 4 points your name goes in 17 times (1 for the year, and 4X4=16 for points)
With 11 points your name would go in 122 times (1 for the year, and 11X11=121 for the points).
There is no points only draw, but you could put in for the Bridgers, and you would almost certainly just get a point.

St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin
United Tribes Technical College
We had the opportunity to catch up with tribal college alumnus Russell Swagger, the Vice President of Student and Campus Services at his alma mater, United Tribes Technical College (UTTC), in Bismarck, North Dakota. Russell, an enrolled member of the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, works with 20 departments and 130 employees to provide services to more than 1,200 students at the school.
Russell earned a bachelor's of science degree in criminal justice from Minot State University and a master's degree in management from the University of Mary. He began his education journey at UTTC. He later earned his Ph.D. through the Mellon Foundation Faculty Career Enhancement (Doctoral) Fellowship from the American Indian College Fund. He credits his tribal leaders, family and friends for their support as he made a geographic change in his life to be among other Indian people.
"I'm very honored and privileged to have graduated from United Tribes Technical College with an associate's degree of applied science degree in criminal justice," Russell says. "I owe much to my tribe, my family, faculty and staff and the tribal college leaders for my success. Tribal colleges offer a great deal of support. The support not only comes from formal programs and through staff and faculty, it also comes from administrators, other tribal colleges, tribal nations and leaders, and from fellow students."
Russell says attending a tribal college may have saved his life. Drugs and alcohol are coping devices that are often seen as a struggle among Native youth, and was no exception. He struggled as these negative influences of dealing with adversity led him down the wrong road. He says his "perception of life prior to tribal colleges was hopelessness. Although I had much support from my family, friends and tribe, I always felt like I couldn't break the chains of poverty and be more. I wanted to offer more and become more, but I didn't know how. Tribal colleges and especially the people that work for them believe in their students. They also believe we all have value. It is this belief that motivates and encourages our students to believe in and demand more of themselves. Tribal colleges changed my perception of my life. Now, I look forward to waking every day, greeting our Creator, giving thanks, and feel blessed to work with and serve our Native American people."
Russell believes that UTTC succeeds with helping students experiencing difficult challenges in their lives through the support systems they have set up. Many of UTTC's employees are UTTC or tribal college alumni and add to the Native staff that can relate to students and their experiences. He notes that the staff are highly educated, credentialed and trained to provide these services to students. "We also provide ceremonial and spiritual activities and we seek advice from our elders on campus and in our local tribal communities to help us address these issues," he says. "Many of our students have managed to live with deep-rooted and traumatic experiences. We value every student and we know they have a unique and special gift to offer."
As an alumnus of mainstream colleges and universities, Russell believes there's something about the essence of feeling like you are at home among tribal colleges. "Even if I go to another tribal college or visit with other students or employees from other tribal colleges, I feel as though I'm welcomed and at home (like family). The reason Native culture is at the forefront is because tribal college leaders always make sure it is and that we never forget our powerful history," Russell says.
Recently, the American Council on Education (A.C.E.) selected Russell, along with 25 others in underrepresented populations, to participate in their first Executive Leadership cohort. The program is designed to prepare leaders to assume college president positions. The cohort will participate in an eight-month program that will examine leadership skills and create a professional development plan aimed at increasing knowledge and skills to prepare them to assume the demands and responsibilities of a college president. Russell will receive feedback from people he works with currently, cohort colleagues, and sitting and retired college presidents. The goal is to bring valuable knowledge back to UTTC and other tribal colleges and to prepare Russell to be of greater service to the Native higher education community. He will also have an opportunity to share the tribal college experience from varying viewpoints with A.C.E. and his cohort of professionals.

This installation is going to be used only as Smart Host for our exchange server. It will not receive any incoming emails or send emails from the users directly.
All the users are going to be on exchange and they would send the emails using exchange and exchange in itself would use Zimbra as Smart Host to send the emails to the outside world.
My requirement is to check all the outbound emails from Zimbra for Spam and AV and enable anti-spamming in such a way that it will scan for the subject line and block the emails from going out if it matches certain patterns.
Is this functionality available with Zimbra MTA? And if this is possible, how do I enable and configure outbound anti-spam scanning?

First, win a second term.
(AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)
As Silver noted on his blog, Five Thirty Eight, 20 presidents won a second term, boosting their rankings in a composite of the four most recent surveys of historians:
"Winning a second term is something of a prerequisite for presidential greatness, at least as historians have evaluated the question. It is also no guarantee of it, as the case of Richard M. Nixon might attest. But the eight presidents who are currently regarded most favorably by historians were all two-termers (or four-termers, in Franklin D. Roosevelt's case)."
Then, win a 'third term.'
(AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)
Only one president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, has ever actually served a third term. Since the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951, it's not possible for a president to win more than twice. But many two-term presidents have been succeeded by members of their administrations.�
Assassinations, death in office�and a resignation complicate the picture. But using Silver's composite list of historian's picks for top presidents, eight of the top 15 arguably earned a "third term."�
In order of their rankings by historians: (2) Franklin Roosevelt, who was followed by his vice president, Harry Truman;�(3) George Washington, who was followed by his vice president, John Adams; (4)�Theodore Roosevelt, who was followed by his secretary of�war, William Howard Taft; (5) Thomas Jefferson, who was followed by his secretary of state, James Madison; (9)�Ronald Reagan, who was followed by his vice president, George H.W. Bush; (11) Andrew Jackson, who was followed by his vice president, Martin Van Buren; (12) James Monroe, who was followed by his secretary of state, John Quincy Adams; and (13) James Madison, who was followed by his secretary of State, James Monroe.�
A caveat: Truman became president when FDR died in office, but he was then elected to a term in his own right.
There's always an exception.
Calvin Coolidge (27) was followed by his secretary of commerce, Herbert Hoover, but still ended up with a low ranking.�
You can still be great without a 'third term.'
(AP Photo/Charles Gorry)
That's not to say that the only great presidents are the ones who get "third terms."�
Abraham Lincoln is ranked first, though his vice president, who took office after his assassination, didn't even win the nomination in the next election. Harry Truman (6), Woodrow Wilson (7), Dwight Eisenhower (8) and�Lyndon Johnson (10) were followed by presidents from the other party, but are�highly�ranked.
You can also argue about where to properly place Ulysses S. Grant (16), who was followed by fellow Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, who lost the popular vote, and Bill Clinton (18), whose vice president, Al Gore, won the popular vote but lost the election.
But it sure helps.
(AP Photo)
The two lowest two-term presidents in Silver's ranking, Richard Nixon (29) and George W. Bush (38), were followed by a president from the other party.
The bottom line: Wait until 2016.
(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
To get a good sense of where Obama may fall in future rankings, you'll probably have to wait until 2016 to see if he wins a "third term." Which is fine, because it's way too early to be talking about this anyway.

Medication Disposal - What to Do with Old or Unusable Medication
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FAAEm,
There are many axioms that remind us about how unfair life can be. It always rains after you wash the car. The car noise disappears the moment you drive into the mechanic's bay. Your doctor always changes your prescription the day after you had it refilled.
When you look into your medicine cabinet, you see your medical history. The leftover pain medication from knee surgery, the few antibiotic pills you forgot to finish once you felt better, the cholesterol lowering medication that caused liver inflammation. Small bottles half-filled with potent medicine and elixirs no good to anybody - but what to do with them? Like nuclear waste, nobody wants the leftovers back. Have you ever tried returning pills to a pharmacy after you developed a side effect or an allergic reaction to the medication? What are you supposed to do with the 53 pills left in the bottle?
Most people toss them in the garbage or flush them down the toilet; but there is a problem with disposing of medication this way. These medicinal compounds filter into the groundwater and end up in our lakes and streams. The US Geological Survey studied water from 139 streams in 30 states and found that 80% contained traces of pharmaceuticals. The affect that those traces of pharmaceuticals may have on the environment, plants, and marine life is unknown. This unknown has created a research opportunity, which has been seized by scientists at the Great Lakes Water Institute. Studies are ongoing to determine the effects of fluoxetine (Prozac) and other anti-depressants on fish development. Other work is focused on the effects of atorvastatin (Lipitor) a cholesterol lowering drug, on fish reproduction.

Roof Panel For A 1934 Ford Model A- Roofless PeopleWritten by on August 5, 2008 Filling The Gaping Hole In Henry's Early Bodies
Early Fords, and most other early cars, came from the factory with padded top inserts and wooden support bows. This was because a panel the size of a sedan roof was simply too large to manufacture, despite the complex shaped body panels produced in the huge presses at the time. Why coupes received inserts too is another matter.
However, hot rodders have long been filling the hole left when the insert is removed using a steel panel, often borrowed from the roof of some unsuspecting station wagon, or in the case of coupes, sometimes a hood skin of the correct curvature. In recent years, however, Walden Speed Shop has been producing brand-new roof panels, perfectly compound-curved to fit an ever-increasing range of body styles. We were going to show you the new roof panel being fitted to Bobby Walden's own '34 coupe, but magazine deadlines and Bobby's customer demands conspired against us.
All was not lost, however, as those necessary paying jobs that delayed his own coupe included a couple of roof insert replacements on early Ford sedans, namely Dale and Sandy Brooks' '34 and Wayne Wilson's Model A.
All the roof panels supplied by Walden Speed Shop are shaped by Bobby using a Yoder power hammer. The panels are available by mail order, too, and a perfect fit is ensured, thanks to the bucks Bobby has painstakingly made for each application. Here's how they come together.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's the stash of bucks Bobby uses to ensure every panel is exactly the same and will fit perfectly. The sedan roof panel bucks are at the rear against the wall, while various doorskin and coupe roof bucks are in the foreground.The roof panels have a gentle curvature that makes it impossible to use a flat sheet of steel to replace the factory insert. Skill and experience enable Bobby to know just how to form the panels using a Yoder power hammer. Wanna know the secret? Then sign up for one of Bobby's sheetmetal-shaping seminars. Sedan roof panels are made in two halves owing to their physical size, as they're simply too large to form in one piece. Bobby trial-fit the second half of Dale Brooks' '34 sedan panel on the buck. It may take a few trial-fittings before Bobby is happy with the panel. You can see the curvature of the panel clearly here.Of course, the reason each buck has curved sections running fore and aft, as well as side to side, is so the curvature can be checked for accuracy. Here, Bobby checked one last time, before the two halves of the roof panel were welded together.The panels were first tack-welded and then run through the power hammer to straighten them. The weld was then finished and hammered on the power hammer. This is the most difficult part of the sedan roof panel. With the welded seam dressed while the panel was still on the buck, a final check could be made for accuracy before it was transferred to the car.You can see how nicely the curvature flows with the original steel with the new insert laid on top of the sedan's roof. However, it doesn't just get welded over the top of the hole.The recess that used to mount the original insert will have to be removed in order for the backside of the weld to be accessed once the new steel panel is in place.Looking a little strange removed from the car, along with its header brace panel, the recessed lip is probably desperately needed by a restorer somewhere with a rusted roof. Note how it was trimmed approximately 1 inch from the inside edge.The red dye around the hole was applied before any trimming took place, and the outline of the new panel was marked on the dye. Wesley Kent carefully trimmed and dressed the steel back to that line in order for the new panel to sit flush with the original metal.
Wayne Wilson's Model A sedan was at Walden Speed Shop for a new Jitney-built chassis-not to mention a substantial amount of metalwork that included a new floor and work on the firewall and lower panels-but it's the roof insert we are interested in.The roof insert was fabricated in exactly the same way as the '34 roof, and Wesley straightened any slight imperfections once the insert was welded in place, flush with the original steel.Model A sedans require the roof side panel above the door to be welded to the rear section, and Wesley used a hammer and dolly to work the metal to shape.While the '34 roof will appear smooth when painted, the crew at Walden Speed Shop used a Pullmax to add an outside rib to the Model A roof panel before installation. This will give the appearance of an insert, and also gives the ribs on either side of the rear window somewhere to finish at the top. Those vertical ribs (actually trim pieces sandwiched between the two panels) will be extended up to meet the new insert's "outline" bead. Note the holes left from the Cleco fasteners, which will be welded when the insert is final-welded.A stock visor was welded to the front of the new insert, again, for that "almost but not quite stock" appearance.

Release of the new Virtual Moon Atlas Pro 6
Posted 15 November 2012 - 12:26 AM
We are happy to announce you that we have just released the new Virtual Moon Atlas "10th anniversary / Pro 6" version !
In 2002 we published the first version of the VMA. Today, for its 10th anniversary, we are happy to present you the new Pro 6 version, the most complete computerized lunar atlas.
Since December 2009, release date of the Pro version 5, we were waiting the datas sent by the recent lunar probes US LRO and chinese Chang'e 2 so that we could format them for use in VMA. It's now done and we also fill this gap period in our production to add new modules and functionalities. We have also update and increase the databases. We hope that all this new work will make your lunar observing sessions still more interesting.
And we can't not forget to dedicate this new version to Neil Armstrong whose "small step and giant leap" have conducted many of us to become amateur astronomers and specially lunar observers.
We will now present you all the news of this version that spread us in the new 10 years coming :
Because of the increasing number of modules in VMA Pro version, VMA is launched now from a "Command Center" that gives you a direct access to each module and to the associated documentations.
We have realized a new special database about the main Web sites dedicated to Moon exploration and lunar surveys.
- General sites
- Lunar atlases
- Lunar probes
- Apollo missions
- Lunar observers associations
- Amateurs lunar pictures
- On line lunar ebooks
- Others lunar sites
The new "WEBLUN" © module manages a quick access to these sites. So, if your computer has a WiFi access during your observing sessions, you will be able to consult these sites directly from VMA while observing.
- Upgrade of the terminator dynamic shadows with LRO datas
- New CCD cameras field visualization on the map
- New altazimutal and "Dobson" telescopes dedicated lunar globe orientation
THE NEW "LRO / Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter" HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURE :
We propose you a new texture corresponding to the best released datas of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter probe. It reaches 100 m resolution per pixel. We are waiting a new more precise release in the following monthes. This texure is linked to the new IAU lunar nomeclature.
THE NEW "CE2 / Chang'E 2" TEXTURE :
Chines authorities have released on 2012 february a global lunar map with a 60 m resolution per pixel. We have built a new texture comparable to the LOPAM texture yet available, but with an almost vertical lighting.
We have formatted for VMA the best digitized versions of old lunar maps in the public domain. You can know compare these pioneering works with today datas. These maps, sure, only show the visible face and the formations positions are sometimes far from the actual one. We propose you the following maps :
- Langenus / 1645 (Version : N & B)
- Hevelius / 1647 (Version : N & B & color)
- Cassini / 1676 (Version : N & B)
- Tobias Mayer / 1775 (Version : N & B)
- LRO Surface roughness (Surface roughness according to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter datas)
- LRO Surface slope and roughness (Surface slope & roughness according to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter datas)
- LRO Silicates (Surface silicates amount according to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter datas)
- Chang'e Daytime surface temperature (Surface temperature during lunar day time according to Chang'e 1 datas)
- Chang'e Nighttime surface temperature (Surface temperature during lunar night time according to Chang'e 1 datas)
Jennifer Blue and her team have revised the IAU lunar nomenclature with the LRO datas. We have also revised the VMA databases to incorporate this new IAU lunar nomenclature and to correct an important number of initial mistakes.
The fifth VMA database presents 52 000 anonyms craters compiled by G. Salamunićcar, S. Lončarić and E. Mazarico. Thanks to them for their permission to use their work in VMA. With this addition, VMA contains now more than 60 000 formations references.
THE CONCEPTION AND INTEGRATION OF THE "LUN / Lunar Universal Number" ©
Because of the presence of formations without an official IAU name in the VMA global database, Christian Legrand has conceived the "LUN / Lunar Universal Number" © that permits to localise in an unique way every lunar formation more than 10 m large. As it's unique for each lunar formation and as everybody can built easily the LUN of each formation, it becomes a very powerful tool for future recognizition of anonymous formation and discussions on them. This VMA exclusive field is now incorporated in every VMA databases.
THE NEW PICTURES LIBRARY "T1M PDM / 1 meter telescope of Pic du Midi" :
We have extracted pictures taken by a french team with the 1 meter telescope of Pic du Midi observatory (JL Dauvergne, P. Tosi, E. Rousset, F. Colas, C. Villadrich,et T. Legault ) which are the best lunar pictures ever taken from the Earth surface. Really amazing. Thanks to the team to allow us in using their production.
THE NEW PICTURES LIBRARY "Best of Peach" :
Damian Peach is one of the best world lunar imager. He gives us authorization to buit a "Best of Peach" pictures libray with his production for supporting VMA. Damian has produced one of the most detailed and most numerous set of lunar formations and it's a very important addition to the software. Thanks to him !
The general documentation of VMA PRO 6.0 has been updated with new screen captures and pictures showing the new abilities of this version 6.
As the amount of datas included in VMA has grown considerably with the new HR textures, we now distribute a complete version on a DVD for people whose Internet connection is too slow for reliable downloads.
We invite you to download freely and test this new version.
Thank you in advance for your support to our action,
Very sincerely,
Christian Legrand et Patrick Chevalley

The new version does look pretty though.

Posted 24 November 2012 - 05:36 PM
I do have one thing I wish I could do. I downloaded some of the high quality imagery from LRO available on the VMA site. I just wish I could use some of these downloaded images with phases with dynamic relief option. The dynamic relief really shows what's popping along the terminator and would be nice if some of the large files I have downloaded could be used with it since I use that option most of the time.
Other than that I really like this update, lots of good stuff added, and I can't stop exploring the moon on my computer.

- terminator looks "jagged", showing about 5 distinct steps.
- the texture setting "phase with dynamic relief" makes it very hard to estimate where the terminator is, but I can't find a setting to increase the contrast.
- I regularly get 'out of memory' error messages.
- navigating is a pain - I wish it had the zoom¢er functionality I use on Cartes du Ciel.
Any tips from the experts here?

I seem to ba having some problems finding the best settings. Specifically, I have the following issues:
- terminator looks "jagged", showing about 5 distinct steps.
- the texture setting "phase with dynamic relief" makes it very hard to estimate where the terminator is, but I can't find a setting to increase the contrast.
- I regularly get 'out of memory' error messages.
- navigating is a pain - I wish it had the zoom¢er functionality I use on Cartes du Ciel.
Any tips from the experts here?
I am in by no means an 'expert', but I'm not seeing any of those issues with my install on my Linux pc. What are the specs of your pc ? Processor, graphics, memory etc... ?

Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel i5-2300 CPU @ 2.8 GHz, 4 cores
RAM installed: 6 GB (available: 3.56 GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 405 graphics card with 1 GB RAM
Does this help?

It was hidden in a few menu steps but here's what I found (how annoying that I can't copy/paste it):
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel i5-2300 CPU @ 2.8 GHz, 4 cores
RAM installed: 6 GB (available: 3.56 GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 405 graphics card with 1 GB RAM
Does this help?
Hmmm, that should not be an issue. It should work fine with those specs. I use Linux Mint 13 running an i3 @ 3.07GHz and 15.5 GB available ram and a GeForce GT240,, and VM runs silky smooth.
Are you sure Windowz isn't running from the i5's onboard graphics instead of taking advantage of the GeForce ? Your system shouldn't be having that issue, although only having 3.56 GB available ram out of 6 seems odd. Like something is dragging it down. Maybe Windowz 7 is just that much of a resource hog, IDK, I haven't touched anything Microlimp in a long time.
Just for kicks, open your System Monitor and see what is using the most resources.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 04:52 PM
On your question if the system is using the GeForce card - how would I know?

Just looking for an "increased contrast" setting on the lunar terminator to more closely mimic this view. When zoomed in more on the VMA the problem becomes even more apparent.

As for your problem, I see what you mean now, exactly. I think it's an issue of the images used to build the picture, I think the blackness of the terminator shows more detail from orbit up there than we can see from down here. I see the same image and just figured it's normal for higher resolution orbit based.

Diabetes is a growing problem in America, and many of us have family members or friends with this potentially debilitating and deadly disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 25 million American adults have diabetes, and 79 million have prediabetes. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in America and costs us more than $174 billion annually. The personal and financial burden of diabetes is not going to improve until Americans take responsibility for our own health, starting with education.
There are three types of diabetes, including type 1, which occurs after damage to the pancreatic beta-islet cells that produce insulin.
Type 1 diabetes accounts for up to 10 percent of all diabetics and usually occurs through an autoimmune process in childhood, although some adults develop type 1 as well. Symptoms include increased thirst and urination, rapid weight loss, blurry vision and fatigue. Type 1 diabetes requires immediate insulin treatment.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common, at more than 80 percent of cases, and will manifest when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to keep pace with increasing glucose (blood sugar) in the blood.
Most patients are obese adults and their cells are also insulin resistant, meaning they do not respond to insulin as well as normal cells. Insulin is the key that brings glucose into a cell to be used for energy, but insulin-resistant cells have been exposed to such high levels of insulin for years that they soon require more insulin than your body can produce.
Type 2 diabetics usually also have hypertension and elevated cholesterol. More children are also being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes due to obesity.
Symptoms are similar to those in type 1, but usually milder. Treatment can often start with oral medications, but unless lifestyle modifications, including weight loss and healthy diet, occur, many will require insulin. Serious complications, such as blindness, amputation, heart disease and stroke are frequent when blood sugars remain uncontrolled.
Gestational diabetes is the third type and occurs during pregnancy. It is the least common. Treatment requires dietary modification and usually insulin because it is essential to control blood sugars to prevent fetal complications. Women who receive prenatal care are routinely tested for diabetes. Women who had gestational diabetes are 35 to 60 percent more likely to develop diabetes in 10 years.
What can you do to prevent diabetes or find out if you are one of the 7 million Americans undiagnosed with diabetes?
First, if you are overweight, have hypertension or elevated cholesterol, a family history of diabetes, or previously abnormal blood sugar tests, you are at risk. Prevention and early detection is key to stopping the evolution of diabetes. See your primary care provider and ask to be tested, engage in daily exercise, remove junk food and processed food from your diet, and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts.
We are also fortunate to live in a community that offers many resources, such as the Diabetes Health Fair on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 7 to 10 a.m., at St. Mary's Church, on the corner of Seventh Street and Birch Avenue, in Rifle. You can learn about diabetes, find out if you are at risk or have diabetes. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and take control of your health. Nobody else will.
Dr. Laurie Marbas is a family physician at Grand River Hospital and Medical Center in Rifle.

I think it's a neat idea. It gets to the heart of what these challenges are supposed to be about...challenging yourself, as much as other cartographers. Not sure how it would work, however.
I suppose I'd challenge myself to do a hand-drawn map in ISO perspective. It's something I've never successfully pulled off...though I've only tried it a couple of times.

Daimonos Presents: 2010 In Review
Hey everybody, we're finally reaching the end of 2010 and everyone is getting their year end lists together. This year I heard (mostly bought) 40 albums that were released during the year of 2010, and attended a total of 14 shows.
Over the next couple weeks I'll share with you my opinions on the following subjects (There may be more if I think of other categories):
1. Top 5 Album Covers of 2010
2. Top 5 Shows of 2010
3. Top 10 Live Performances
4. Rankings of the 40 albums I've heard
Thank you for checking my thread out and stay tuned for updates!
I've lost track of just about everything.
Top 5 Album Covers
First up will be my five favorite album covers from 2010:
5. Phobia – Unrelenting
A war driven cover, covered with skulls, makeshift graves, and machine gun ammo is the perfect piece of art to slap onto the cover of a 14 minute grind assault brought to you none other by grind legends Phobia.
4. Immolation – Majesty and Decay
This cover fits the album perfectly. It's dark, brooding, and actually looks like it would be heavy. Definitely stuck out to me the first time I saw it.
3. Lightning Swords of Death – The Extra Dimensional Wound
I'm not really sure what exactly this album cover is supposed to be, but I think it's awesome to look at. It's very detailed and mysterious, and the indecipherable logo makes it all the better.
2. Darkthrone – Circle the Wagons
Another interesting piece by Dennis Dread, who has done art for the last couple releases by Darkthrone, as well as album covers for Autopsy, Abscess, and Phobia, to name a few. His 'pencil-styled' drawings are very unique and detailed, and work with Darkthrone's new style pretty well.
1. Hour of Penance – Paradogma
Great cover. Perfect for anti-religious brutal death metal, with a church being brought down in flames by crosses with a bleeding Mary statue out front. It doesn't get much better than that.
I've lost track of just about everything.

Top 10 Live Performances
Top 10 Live Performances
10. Rush – 9/16/10, Console Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA
This was my second time seeing Rush. I thought that the setlist was a pretty strange one, but Rush is Rush. Neil Peart is my drumming hero, and watching his flawless performance could have made me cry. Geddy was on his game and sounded great vocal wise as he was slapping his bass like a madman. The second half was the highlight, seeing as Moving Pictures is one of my favorite albums. I definitely want to go see them again sometime.
9. Ozzy Osbourne – 8/19/10, First Niagara Pavilion, Burgettstown, PA
This was my third time seeing the Ozzman live, and it was probably the best. I'm not going to lie I went in thinking he might not be all that great, and I was disappointed by the lack of Zakk Wylde and Mike Bordin. Ozzy played an awesome set and pulled out some surprising songs such as "Fire in the Sky", as well as some of my favorite Black Sabbath songs such as "Fairies Wear Boots" and "Into the Void". His new band is tight too. The "Rat Salad" jam was beyond amazing. Ozzy had a good pick with Gus G.
8. Clutch – 10/16/10, Trib Total Media Ampitheater, Pittsburgh, PA
I only just recently started listening to Clutch, and after hearing the self titled album, I was immediately hooked to them. Even though I love BLS and Children of Bodom (the old stuff, at least), I was going to this show mainly for Clutch. Though they played before Bodom at my date, it was still worth the time they got. I was beyond excited to hear them pull out "I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth", "Freakonomics", "Big News I", and "Burning Beard", to name a few. I really, really, really want to see these guys headline, and when I do, you can count on me being in the front row.
7. Watain – 11/6/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
Whenever I found out that Behemoth was coming back a second time this year, I nearly shit myself. Whenever I found out that Watain would be coming with them, I did shit myself. Whenever Behemoth cancelled the tour, I was very surprised to see that Watain was doing a headlining show at Mr. Smalls. I didn't think they were big enough to headline there, but I was wrong, I guess. Since it was the first date of the tour, they didn't have any of the rotting animal carcasses or blood, but the music and the performance were still awesome. Daniellson seriously looked possessed onstage, and there was definitely a presence of some sort throughout the venue. Highlights for me were "Malfeitor", "On Horns Impaled", "Waters of Ain", "Total Funeral", and "Stellarvore".
6. Triptykon, 10/14/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
Without a doubt the heaviest and loudest show I've ever been to. I was able to witness Tom G. Warrior, a Metal God, play to a room of what couldn't have been more than 150 people. Warrior had such a commanding and intense presence on stage, and only spoke to the crowd once the entire night. In addition to the Triptykon songs, of course they pulled out some Celtic Frost classics such as "Circle of the Tyrants", "The Usurper", and the ball breaking "Procreation (of the Wicked)". The Triptykon songs were incredible as well. "Goetia", "The Prolonging", and "Abyss Within My Soul" were all monumental. I hope these guys tour America again sometime soon.
5. Suffocation, 1/22/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
I'm not going to lie, I went to this show to see Devildriver, and although they were awesome that night, Suffocation was just a mindfuck. I wasn't a fan of them at the time, and the only album by them I owned was Blood Oath. I only knew two songs they played throughout their set, and those two, as well as all the other ones, completely floored me. Watching Hobbs, Marchais, and Boyer play their guitars was mind boggling, as well as Mike Smith's incredible drumming. Frank Mullen also sounds like a monster live, and is hilarious when he talks. The band plays such complicated and heavy material with such energy. The day after this show, I ordered three of their albums, and today I consider them to be my favorite death metal band.
4. Behemoth, 1/28/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
This was my third time seeing Behemoth, my second time seeing them as a fan, and my first time seeing them headline. Mr. Smalls was the most crowded I have ever seen it, and there was good reason for that. They played their crushing brand of blackened death metal for over an hour. Although the set lacked any material that was released before Satanica, they made up for it with three songs off that album: "LAM", "Decade of Therion", and "Chant for Eschaton 2000". Other highlights for me were newer songs such as "Lucifer" and "Alas, Lord is Upon Me", as well as "Christians to the Lions" and "As Above So Below", which might be one of the heaviest songs I've ever seen live.
3. Amon Amarth, 4/28/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
Amon Amarth was one of the bands that got me into extreme metal, and since I missed what was their first show in Pittsburgh in 2009, there was no way in Hell I was going to miss this one. No matter what songs they played, it was going to be an awesome show, since all of their material is good. They could have used more from Fate of Norns and With Oden on Our Side, and maybe a bit less from Twilight of the Thunder God, but I really can't complain. I headbanged through the duration of their entire set, beginning to end. "Valhall Awaits" was Godly live, as well as "Death In Fire" and "Varyags of Miklagaard". I'm very much awaiting their new album and hoping they decide to visit Pittsburgh again.
2. Iron Maiden, 7/14/10, First Niagara Pavilion, Burgettstown, PA
I used to be a pretty big fan of Iron Maiden, but after awhile I kind of grew out of them. In the recent years I didn't really care about their classic material, and I surely couldn't give a damn about their new material. Shortly before the tour was coming, I decided to give A Matter of Life and Death a second chance, and I liked it a lot more than I did whenever I was 13 years old, and I completely understand why I didn't like it then. I didn't decide I was going to go until the last minute, but I'm really glad I did. I was very skeptical because I knew the setlist, but what can I say…It's Maiden. This was perhaps the most emotional and epic show I've ever been to. Never before have I been so far away from the stage, all the way up on the lawn, but felt so ridiculously close to the band. All of the new songs were beyond incredible live, and the few old songs that they played made the entire night even better. After the show, I quickly regained my interest in Iron Maiden, and I will GLADLY go see them any chance I ever get to do so.
1. Enslaved, 11/12/10, Mr. Smalls Theater, Millvale, PA
I was so disappointed that Enslaved was opening for Dimmu Borgir, but I wanted to see them for a second time so fucking bad. I was lucky enough to have won a spot on the guest list, so I didn't have to pay $30 to get in, but I would have gladly paid that much for this show. They only got to play 35 minutes, but they were so damned awesome. I might be a bit biased, because Enslaved is one of my favorite bands, but whatever. The new songs that they played, "Ethica Odini", "Raidho", and "The Beacon" were incredible live. Especially "The Beacon". It was ferocious. "Fusion of Sense and Earth" and "Isa", were both great too, and got pretty good reactions from the crowd. "Ground" is a very special song to me, and it was one of the highlights of the set. I spent the whole 35 minutes headbanging, fist pumping, and screaming every word to every song. Ivar even acknowledged my presence while they were onstage, giving me a thumbs up sign and nodding. I was able to meet the entire band after the show, and get a handful of my albums signed. I had a great conversation with Cato, the drummer, about drums and recording and some other things, and had small conversations with Ivar and Herbrand. They're all great guys, and I am looking forward to their American headlining tour in 2011 more than anything right now.
Coming next will be my ranking of the three EP's I heard during 2010.

EP Rankings
2010 EP Rankings
3. Phobia Unrelenting
Im fairly new to grindcore, so I dont have very much to compare this to, but Ill take it for what it is: 17 unrelenting songs in not even 15 minutes. This EP is just a short burst of madness and energy. A couple of the songs sound a little bit repetitive, especially in the vocal patterns, but that doesnt really surprise me. Its actually better than a lot of full lengths on my list and its great when I feel like smacking my steering wheel and banging my head for 15 minutes while Im driving.
1. Revolt Your Life
2. Lifes Animosity
3. If You Used to Be Punk, Then You Never Were
2. Autopsy The Tomb Within
I was surprised earlier this year whenever Chris Reifert suddenly ended Abscess (who also have an album out this year just realized I never got around to hearing it) and reactivated Autopsy full time. I was even more surprised whenever they announced they were going to have an EP out just a couple of months after that. Theres not much you can really say about this EP, other than its Autopsy. Some of the songs fit right in with the classic Autopsy albums, while others sound more like Autopsys mid-later 90s albums. The riffs are slow, heavy, and slamming, while Reiferts grunts are as inhuman and sloppy as ever (in a good way). This EP is Autopsys way of showing everybody that theyve still got it, and after hearing this, I really cant wait for their full length to be released.
1. My Corpse Shall Rise
2. Human Genocide
3. The Tomb Within
1. Triptykon Shatter
I picked this up at the whenever I saw Triptykon live a couple weeks before it was released. The EP features two new Triptykon songs that were recorded during or around the recording of Eparistera Daimones (Shatter, I Am the Twilight), an ambient interlude (Crucifixus), and two classic Celtic Frost songs performed live by the band (Circle of the Tyrants, Dethroned Emperor), with the latter featuring Nocturno Culto on vocals. The new songs are full of as much quality as anything on Eparistera, if not even better than a couple of tracks, while the live songs are well, Celtic Frost. The simplicity and ambience of Shatter make it one of the most haunting but beautiful songs of the year, while I Am the Twilight is just eight minutes of heavy. In my eyes it doesnt get too much better than an EP filled with new Triptykon and live Celtic Frost classics, so thats probably why this is my favorite EP of the year.
1. Shatter
2. I Am the Twilight
3. Dethroned Emperor (Live with Nocturno Culto)

Is it possible to manipulate calendar sharing through the SOAP interface? We are looking to setup a 'dummy account' that has many public calendars available and allow others to share/unshare those calendars at will. We can setup a share through zmmailbox quite easily, but our requirements insist on automating this process.
I've looked at the FolderActionRequest soap function, but can't seem to get that working. We're trying to give all our users a list of the "Dummy Account" calendars and allow those users to add/remove calendars at their discretion (we are not using the standard Zimbra web or desktop clients, thus the need to do this through soap).
Has anyone successfully used the FolderActionRequest soap function? Any other ideas on how to share a large number of public calendars?

At-Home Alignment Made EasyWritten by Marlan Davis on June 1, 2001 Set Camber and Toe with Tools at Home
Have you just completely rebuilt your front suspension? Or maybe your frame-off, ground-up rebuild is finally ready to come off the jackstands and put rubber to the pavement. Either way, setting the correct wheel and tire alignment is critical for vehicle safety and preventing premature tire wear. An accurate wheel alignment requires special equipment and a skilled technician who knows how to use it—but you have to get the car there in the first place! Is there a way for the average car crafter to rough-in a newly built suspension's alignment so the car can be driven safely to an alignment shop for the real deal?
Yes there is, according to premier suspension expert Doug Nordin, owner of Global West Suspension Components, hard-core manufacturers of go-fast handling and drag racing chassis parts. Nordin came up with this simple technique for setting camber and toe with tools found in virtually any household. Caster requires special equipment, but it's not a major tire-wear factor. The car may still pull to one side if the caster is wrong, but at least you'll make it to the alignment shop in one piece.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1. This Old House—not! All that's needed to set toe and camber is a 2x4 board with a slightly angled nail driven into one end, a tape measure, and a carpenter's level. The board performs two functions: It acts as a base for the level and (with the nail) also serves as a scribe.2. The 2x4 must fit snugly between the wheel's inner rim lips. Measure the maximum width between the lips (17 3/4 inches here) and saw the board to match.3. Check the camber first. Place the cut-to-length board in place between the wheel lips, and hold the level against the board as shown.4. Zero camber will get the car safely to the alignment shop without tire wear. You have zero camber when the level's bubble is, well…level (centered between the marks).5. On most traditional American cars with upper and lower A-arms, camber (as well as caster) adjustments are made with shims inserted between the upper-control-arm shaft and the frame bracket. On a newly built suspension, start with two 1/8-inch shims per side. For cars that don't use shims, check a service manual to determine how to make the adjustments.6. Add or subtract shims equally to change camber. If the pivot shaft is inboard of the frame as shown here, subtracting shims moves the tire outboard (positive camber). The reverse is true if the pivot shaft is outboard of the frame.7. Before setting toe, make sure each side's inner-to-outer tie-rod assembly length is the same. The inner and outer tie-rod zerk fittings are a handy reference point for taking measurements. Turn the adjusting sleeves as needed to equalize the lengths.8. Jack the front end off the ground. Position the 2x4 so the nail contacts the center of a front tire, then rotate the tire until the nail scribes a line around its entire circumference. Repeat for the other front tire. Lower the car to the ground. Make sure the wheels are facing straight ahead and the steering wheel is centered.
10. Change toe by loosening the tie-rod-sleeve nuts and rotating the sleeves. Lengthen or shorten each tie-rod assembly equally to keep the steering wheel centered. When the tie rods mount behind the steering knuckle (as on this first-generation Camaro), increasing their length increases toe-in. When the tie rods mount in front of the knuckle, decreasing their length increases toe-in.

For the first time, the director's cut of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" video has been made viewable online.
Anton Corbjin directed the video, which is largely the same as the original, except with more of the obese woman and the young lady dressed in robes about three quarters of the way through the track.
The director's cut was previously released as part of Corbijn's director's series DVD in 2005, but has not been available to view online until now.
A remastered version of Nirvana's third and final studio album "In Utero" is being released to mark the band's 20th anniversary on Sept. 23. The remastered album will feature 70 tracks including previously unreleased recordings, demos, B-sides and live material.

Permits and Regulations
Who We Are and What We Do
- We are highly skilled environmental planners, engineers, ecologists, hydrogeologists, and fisheries biologists with legal authority to manage regulated areas. Regulated areas are those that are hazardous (e.g. prone to flooding) or contain natural heritage features.
- We provide environmental and planning expertise to landowners, developers, and our member municipalities.
- We make sure that federal and provincial legislation and policies as well as municipal and conservation authority policies are taken into account when development occurs within regulated areas.
Why We Do It
- to protect you and your family from loss of life, property damage and social disruption
- to conserve, restore and manage the natural resources of the watershed
- to maintain or improve water quality to ensure that pollution or other degradation of water bodies is minimized or eliminated
- to protect naturally hazardous areas (examples are floodplains and unstable slopes)
- to encourage responsible management and protection of environmentally sensitive areas (examples are shorelines and wetlands)
- to promote "good planning" and conformity to approved municipal official plan documents where they support authority programs
- to encourage a coordinated approach to land use and water management
- to implement policies, technical guidelines and procedures resulting from approved watershed management plans
- to advocate for the inclusion of conservation authority policies into local planning documents
- to provide technical information to municipalities
- to undertake responsible and effective resource management having regard to the Province of Ontario's Provincial Policy Statement, while taking into account local conditions
How We Do It
Our work in regulating lands has several major components.
1. Regulation Permits
We ensure that development proposals have regard for natural hazard features and the natural environment, while conforming with our watershed development policies. We are authorized under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act to implement and enforce the Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation (Ontario Regulation 179/06).

2. Plan Input and Review
We are responsible for representing the provincial interests with respect to natural hazards (examples include flooding, erosion and unstable ground) and natural features on applications circulated under the Planning Act. We are responsible for providing advice on the interpretation of the Provincial Policy Statement. We also have agreements with the Region of York, Durham, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and the County of Simcoe to provide comments on natural heritage features, which include significant woodlands, wetlands, environmentally sensitive areas, fish habitat, as well as rare, threatened and endangered species and their habitats.
3. Technical Assistance
Our engineering staff are available to regional and local municipalities within the watershed. Complementing our planning staff, they comment on the water management and natural hazard aspects of all planning applications. Our engineers clear conditions of approvals and issue permits where required.
They are involved in preparing watershed plans, remedial strategies and stormwater management strategies and the design of capital work projects and major floodplain engineering studies. Our engineers design these projects, prepare tenders, and supervise the implementation and construction activities as required.
Key areas of expertise include: hydraulics and hydrology, planning input and review, regulations, data collection and computer modelling, remediation and restoration techniques, project design, tendering and supervision.
4. Watershed Development Policies / Guidelines
Recognizing that urbanization occurs within some limits and is ultimately limited by the capacity of the natural environment, our goal is to foster and consistently apply watershed development guidelines which protect the environmental integrity of our watershed.
Important Notice - Changes to the Watershed Development Guidelines
Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) has completed a comprehensive review and update to its Watershed Development Guidelines. The Guidelines were approved by LSRCA's Board of Directors on April 24, 2015 and will come into effect on June 1, 2015.

5. Landowner Assistance
Our Landowner Environmental Assistance Program (LEAP) provides technical and financial support to private landowners in completing environmental projects designed to improve local surface and ground water quality, reduce soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitat.

6. Flood Forecasting and Flood Control
We are responsible for issuing flood warnings to help reduce flood damages. We do this by:
- monitoring weather conditions and river flows
- issuing flood messages (advisories and warnings) to a variety of public service agencies through the media and this website
- controlling development in flood-prone areas to reduce potential property damages
See our home page for current flood conditions

I am posting this under "installation" since I could not find a more focused topic like "security"...
The Zimbra server is by default an open relay for trusted networks.
In my setup there is a webserver in the trusted network that is using Zimbra as a relay server. For that the webserver uses mostly the PHP mail() function. It is difficult to ensure that the scripts will *never* be abused so I want to focus on securing the mail server as much as possible.
The question: is it possible to spam filter the messages that are being offered for relay? If any script would get hacked on the webserver the email server would block the spam from being sent out.
