Hi There
I administer 2 relatively new installations for a customer on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with Zimbra 8.0.4_GA_5737 Network Edition.
There are package & security updates available for Ubuntu. I would like to install these updates (I'm not looking to update Zimbra itself at this point - simply the Ubuntu packages). I would obviously prefer to avoid breaking the Zimbra installation
Would an apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade and a reboot if required be safe?
Can anyone guide me in how I should proceed in this regard?


text:
We have a client using mail.app using imap to connect to zimbra server. Every now and then he is having a sent message VANISH. He sends the email, then goes into the sent folder to look at it again, it appears there for a second and then disappears.
I have checked all the normal mail logs, but beyond the email being sent correctly and reaching all the recipients I am unable to see any sign of anything happening.
It is a 1 in 50 messages type of issue so is proving difficult to track down. My imeddiate feeling is that it is an issue with the client, but just thought I would post a message here to see if anybody has experience this in the past.
I have checked the following;
- NO RULES -> there are no rules on the client to act on messages
- It is not in the junk folder
- The message is 100% gone from the computer. NO trace
- Checked via the web interface and the message is not there either.
Does anybody have experience with logging IMAP either at the client side or at the server side ?
Any help would be appreciated.

The most common skin disorder in the United States, acne affects roughly 40 to 50 million people. Many mistakenly believe that acne is only a problem for adolescents, but in reality, people of any age can suffer from acne breakouts. Blemishes do not just detract from your appearance; they can also cause severe pain and even permanent scarring. The Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Treatment line was developed to help soothe and heal acne-prone skin to help those among the millions who suffer from breakout problems.
Acne is caused by a combination of medical factors, including an overproduction of oil, hormonal changes and bacteria. The philosophy behind the Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Treatment line is that the medical factors that contribute to acne require treatments based on medical science to truly be successful. Developed by a leading dermatologist, the Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Treatment collection goes beyond treating acne spots to address the causes of acne. This unique approach allows the Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Treatments line to help prevent breakouts before they occur for a healthier complexion that you'll love.
Treat the causes of acne and not just its symptoms with the Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Treatment collection. With products available for all skin types, the collection uses medical science to cleanse and heal the skin for a long-lasting clear complexion.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare All Over Blemish Solution uses salicylic acid to clear out the pores, purging oil, dirt and other impurities that can plug the walls. A powerful chelator included in the product removes harmful heavy metals from the surface of the skin, which limits oil production. The proven effectiveness and safety of the solution led to it winning the prestigious CEW Insider's Choice Award from the Cosmetic Executive Women.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion features natural ingredients to substitute for the harsh chemicals often found in acne treatment products. Among these herbs and natural compounds are sulfur, willowbark extract and farsenol. Free of fragrances, chemicals and dyes, the clearing lotion is perfect for sensitive skin. The unique combination of ingredients has the added benefit of toning the tissue, helping to reduce signs of aging.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Correct and Perfect Spot Treatment is designed to work at the first signs of an acne blemish to speed up the healing time and return your skin to its natural tone and texture. The formula draws clogging materials out of the pores, while disinfecting to eliminate the acne-causing infection. At the same time, soothing quercetin caprylate in the formula reduces redness and alleviates discomfort.

Royals sign former Twin Philip Humber to minor league deal
The Royals announced today that the club has agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Philip Humber on a minor league contract for the 2010 season. Humber will receive an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
The 26-year old Humber has spent the past two seasons in the Minnesota Twins organization after serving as a key figure in the five-player trade that sent pitcher Johan Santana to the New York Mets. The 6-foot-4 right-hander is 0-0 with a 6.07 ERA in 18 career Major League appearances (1 start) for the Mets (2006-07) and Twins (2008-09). He was 7-9 with a 5.34 ERA in 23 games (22 starts) for Rochester (AAA) in 2009 and also made eight relief appearances for Minnesota. Born in Nacogdoches, Texas, the Mets' first-round selection (3rd overall) in the 2004 Draft now resides in Carthage, Texas, with his wife, Kristan.

DENVER (KUSA) - The FBI is warning computer users to watch out for a sophisticated scam that could literally hold your computer for ransom.
The scam accuses you of viewing child pornography and orders you to pay a fine to avoid federal prosecution.
It was realistic enough to fool Rob, a Denver man who sent a newstip to 9Wants to Know. Rob wanted his identity concealed.
The FBI child porn scam is widespread and could cost you hundreds of dollars. One minute you're on the computer, the next minute a screen pops up accusing you of looking at child pornography. It appears to come from the FBI, and even has a government email address.
"I mean my heart just dropped. And then the screen came back up again saying that my computer had been locked again by the FBI," Rob said.
The screen contained an alarming message accusing Rob of looking at illegal content.
"And one of them was child pornography. That really caught my attention and made me very nervous and anxious. I work as a health care worker and I'm around kids all the time. I really panicked at that point," Rob said.
The more he read, the more he worried.
"[It said] that was a federal violation and that I needed to pay a fine of $300 within 72 hours and if that wasn't a federal case would be opened against me," Rob said.
Rob bought a money pack and paid that $300, even though he knew he was innocent.
"I've never viewed child pornography. I was willing to pay any money to sort of like make it go away. I think because it's just so vile and such a terrible thing to be accused of," Rob said.
His laptop stayed locked on that screen for hours, even days after he paid the $300. That's when Rob realized he'd been scammed.
"If it was able to sort of like get one over me, based on my sensitivities, I think I would want other people to know about it," Rob said.
A virus known as "ransomware" infected Rob's laptop. It locks up your computer, effectively holding it hostage. Not only does it take your money, the virus also tries to steal your personal information.
"People should really be aware of just how elaborate these schemes can be," Rob said.
If this virus does infect your computer, try running a virus scan. If that doesn't work, you may have to take your computer in to have a professional clean it out.
To prevent this from happening to you, watch where you click. Going from link to link can often lead to trouble.
If you have fallen victim to this kind of scam, the FBI wants you to report it.

I am running Zimbra Desktop 7.2.2. GA Built 111951 in Windows 7 64bit
I set up Zimbra as my default mail application (by checking the box in preferences)
When I click on an e-mail address in Firefox, Zimbra would start.
When I click on an "e-mail" in Windows Photo Viewer (Windows 7 app), Zimbra would start
When I click on an e-mail address in a MS Word document or/and in OpenOffice, Zimbra won't start. Instead Windowslive Mail starts.
When I click on an e-mail address in Internet Explorer, Zimbra won't start. Instead Windowslive Mail starts.
I want to use Zimbra as my default email client in all these applications, I don't want Windowslive Mail to start (but I don't want to delete it either)
As an Administrator, I tried to change "Set program access and Computer defaults" in Windows 7 but when I try to select Zimbra as a default, the change does not take effect. (see picture below)
In the same section, under "non-Microsoft", I cannot change the e-mail program to Zimbra: the OK button is dimmed and doesn't work (see picture below)
In the "Associate a file Type and protocol with a specific program" section, MAILTO is associated with Windowslive Mail . If I click on it, Zimbra does not appear as an option. The only other option is Google Chrome. (see picture below)
In the "set your default program" section, neither Windowslive nor Zimbra are listed (see picture below)
I have heard that it may be a problem with the registry and that there is a way to intervene at that level by editing certain registry keys.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you.

LMAO! It wasn't out of my system when I was college bound.
Any of it will get ya if ya drink tomuch! I have had my share of them experiences lol. I agree with exposing kids to it so its not such a big deal and they have some idea of their limits when they get out on their own.
I don't have a big problem with a little exposure, but bring more than whiskey and beer when you take them along! My dad was a rough dude to hang with. His theory was "If I can drink it , so can he" so I tired like hell.
We would go hunting for the weekend and all that was in the cooler was Bud Light and hot dogs, we had mustard and a loaf of white bread for the dogs. Talk about makin' a kid tough! Crazy thing is, I still like hot dogs and beer??
Missed out on some good fishing today. The fertalizer/spray company we use had what they called a miss communication yesterday. I call it their new field guy screwed up....again, and they didnt come out yesterday like they were supposed to and didnt figure it out till about 2:00 when I talked to the guy I should of talked to in the first place. So to make a long story short I stayed home and sprayed barley today while everyone else went fishing.
I wish I knew as much about hunting gear, rifles, bullets, optics, units in other states as I do what "not" to do in life. I'm not a very good contributor to this site until someone wants info on hunting in Oregon, which isn't often!
just booked a pig hunt in Kauai on the 24th weapon of choice _Knife_ i'm so stoked any you ever hunt pigs with a Knife?
Im taking my bow for pig #2

|Cast enchants audience in spring musical
|Written by Darci Tomky
Once upon a time some brave and noble Holyoke High School students took the stage, portraying prince and princess, knight and lady, king and queen. This is their story...
An impressive castle scene and magnificent costumes transported the audience back in time to a hilarious take on the classic fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea."
Even if the audience had had their own soft, fluffy bed 20 mattresses high, there was no going to sleep during the wild antics of the HHS Drama Department's "Once Upon a Mattress" on stage Friday, March 22 and Sunday, March 24.
The annual musical was directed by Eric Conklin with music director Pat Wiebers and assistant director Penny Dockins.
Prince Dauntless (Jacob Vasa) meets a spunky Princess Winnifred (Eva Penzing) after she swam the moat and climbed the castle wall. —Enterprise photo
A charming Princess Winnifred, played by Eva Penzing, captured the hearts of audience members—and of Prince Dauntless, played by Jacob Vasa—with her amazing singing voice and playful personality. This girl (who swam the moat!) proved she was worthy of her title with each test that came her way.
Vasa's innocence and spunk was a perfect match to Penzing, portraying on stage a young prince simply in need of a wife, despite his uncooperative mother, Queen Aggravain, played by Molly Brandt.
And speaking of the queen, no one could seem to get a word in edgewise, especially King Sextimus, who was left utterly speechless at her fast-flying words and no-nonsense attitude.
A smiling wizard (Ryan Parker, at right) follows around Queen Aggravain (Molly Brandt) as she angrily plots a plan to eliminate Princess Winnifred before she can win her son's heart. —Enterprise photo
The king, played by Jack Gorwitz, didn't even need to utter a word to make the audience laugh. His man-to-man "talk" with his son about the birds and the bees was the best game of charades I've seen in a long time!
The mute King Sextimus (Jack Gorwitz, at left) does his best to use charades to explain the birds and the bees to his son (Jacob Vasa). —Enterprise photo
Also getting the giggles were the hilarious and musically talented jester, played by Ben Martinez, and the minstrel, played by Brittney Prottsman. And don't forget about the surprisingly successful magic tricks performed by the wizard, played by Ryan Parker.
Brittney Prottsman and Ben Martinez sing "The Minstrel, the Jester and I" with the king during last weekend's spring musical on the HHS stage. —Enterprise photo
Alongside all the silliness was the love story between Lady Larken and Sir Harry, captured perfectly on stage by Anastasia Conklin and Zach Roll.
The two love birds, Lady Larken and Sir Harry (Anastasia Conklin and Zach Roll, pictured at left), sing "In a Little While."
Whether they were doing the Spanish Panic dance or singing about a girl named Fred, the ladies, knights and ladies-in-waiting made "Once Upon a Mattress" an unforgettable performance. Rounding out the cast list are Dani Brandt, Alexandria McCallum, Megan Parker, Lori McWilliams, Alyssa Killin, Elli Ahro, Kaely Zilla, Logan Gift, Cody Lamm and A.J. Brandt.
"Once Upon a Mattress" cast members check out the mattresses the queen was preparing for her test to see if Princess Winnifred could fall asleep with a single pea under her bed. The ladies and knights of the castle are pictured from left, Kaely Zilla, Dani Brandt, Lori McWilliams, Elli Ahro, Alexandria McCallum, Alyssa Killin, Cody Lamm, Logan Gift and A.J. Brandt. —Enterprise photo
In addition to the directors and cast, those who were part of the production staff included Nicholas Ortner, Spencer Kotch, Wyatt Bishop, Robin Conklin, Mario Madrid, Nancy Pillard and Tracy Drake.
All in all, this musical left the audience humming the catchy songs as they fell asleep on their own mattresses that night, and everyone lived happily ever after!

Midsummer Night
Live music, glow sticks, and power chords!
Featuring Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Memphis, TN (June 15, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its second developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with Midsummer Night by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn on June 27 at 7:00 pm.
Tickets for the reading are just $15, or $10 for Students and Seniors.
Midsummer Night, directed by Janet Roston, is the second of three developing musicals in TSC's inaugural Showplace Memphis: Musical Works in Progress.
Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Sponsored by one of Broadway's elite musical licensing companies, Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and President/CEO Steve Spiegel, based in New York City, Showplace Memphis has been devised as the next creative stage for three musicals en route to full productions in New York and on the regional theatre circuit across the U.S. The first musical in Showplace Memphis last month was a very successful reading of Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical. The final musical will be a charming and surprising new piece, The Oliver Experiment (August 15).
TRW has selected the musicals, and the Actors' Equity casts and directors are coming from all around the country and Memphis.
The cast includes Broadway's Katrina Lenk (Once; Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; The Miracle Worker) as Titania and Eric B. Anthony (The Lion King; Hairspray; Mary Poppins) as Puck.
Songwriters Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda join with co-creator/director Janet Roston (Artistic Director of The Los Angeles Rock Opera Company) for this new take on William Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The musical is set within a modern-day rock festival. It's a rollicking collision of rock music, iambic pentameter, and hipsters – where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, festival assistant Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine.
Keyboardist Milburn and electric violinist Vigoda have been singing and writing songs together for over 20 years, first for their band GrooveLily, and more recently for musical theatre and film. Theatre: Striking Twelve, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, Beautiful Poison, Wheelhouse, Toy Story: The Musical, Long Short Story, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its complete reworking as the rock musical Midsummer Night, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. Film: many songs for Tinker Bell for Disney animated movies. Additional music is provided by Gene Lewin.
The Midsummer Night creators and cast will collaborate and rehearse at the U of M for ten days leading up to its reading. Though it will be going through both script and music changes, Midsummer Night will be played and sung in its entirety and with musical accompaniment on the U of M's mainstage. No other design elements (scenic/costumes/lights) will be integrated.
Audiences will have an opportunity to speak with the actors and creators of Midsummer Night immediately following its reading. Audiences also will inform the production by completing an audience survey that will help the creative team in future development phases.Read More
Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr. to Visit Tennessee Shakespeare Company's Romeo and Juliet Project in Action at East High School Monday, March 23
March 17, 2015 – Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr. announced today he will observe first-hand Tennessee Shakespeare Company teaching and playing its Romeo and Juliet Project with 100 ninth graders in four simultaneous sessions at East High School on Monday, March 23 at 9:00 am.
"On behalf of TSC and our Board of Directors, I am so proud and honored to have Mayor Wharton joining our teachers in the classroom," said Project creator and TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine. "It was at the Mayor's urging we created this Project, and I am excited for him to see his challenge come to positive life."
Tennessee Shakespeare Company began its nationally-recognized, four-part performance and in-school residency in the Memphis area in January. The Project, now in its fourth year, brings a cast of eight professional actor-teachers into each Language Arts classroom at a participating school. Students are guided by the actors to live the play's urgent tragedy of young love amidst rage, experiencing its relevant story while ensuring that participating freshmen have a first exposure to Shakespeare that is active, rich, and rewarding.
As the teenagers in the play face armed violence, students discover positive actions available to them in their own lives in the face of real conflict. Student post-Project assessments have recorded a 20% increase in students' compassion as a result of their inclusion in The Romeo and Juliet Project, as well as a full letter grade increase, on average, in Language Arts classes.
The Residency concludes with an intimate performance by the actor-teachers of Romeo and Juliet, which encourages student participation.
By the end of March, The Romeo and Juliet Project will have performed the play 44 times in 27 Memphis area schools, and will have taught the Residency in 342 classroom visits in 11 schools. At least 4,360 high school Freshmen will be reached and positively affected by The Romeo and Juliet Project. That figure represents 34% of all freshmen in the Shelby County Schools system.
Tennessee Shakespeare Company is generously supported by:
Season Sponsors:
Arts Memphis, Barbara B. Apperson Angel Fund, Nancy Copp, FedEx Corporation, Independent Bank, International Paper, Rose M. Johnston, Ernest and Pat Kelly, Jr., Milton T. Schaeffer, Margaret and Owen Tabor, Ann and Wellford Tabor, Tennessee Arts Commission, and The University of Memphis.

every time I check it's a drought... perhaps moisture will change things, mild winter+moisture would be awesome, but if drought continues, would be a bad year I think.
I guess I don't see a problem with a hunter wanting to fill his/her tag with a freezer filler. Everyone has a different approach to their hunting objectives just the same as we may hunt differently. It's their tag, who am I to say how they are to fill it.
"Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... It's the reckoning." Doc Holliday
it would be interesting to see a checker board of management with say white squares being trophy squares and black squares being for quantity.
I recently read that 4 units in CO for elk are managed for trophy elk, no surprise those are the toughest to draw!
as to point restrictions, I'd rather see a guy shoot a spike bull than a 3x3 or 4x4, a 3 or 4yo bull is much closer to being a big bull than a 1yo is.
Also when a guy can't shoot a management bull, ie an older bull with only a 3x3 or 4x4 frame then you're encouraging inferior genetics.
oh well this mystery will probably never be solved/fixed in my lifetime, so all a trophy hunter can do is hunt quality areas/units, wait for tags and hunt hard when they have that chance, or pass inferior bulls in their opinion.
I hate the term "if i don't shoot it my neighbor will, or someone else will" well if you shoot a small bull then certainly it won't make it til next year. and why would any hunter let another hunter influence their decision whether or not a bull is big enough.
If I want a 6x6, and I see a 5x5 I know another hunter would gladly shoot, that doesn't make me want to shoot a 5x5 any more. I'd rather pass on that 5x5 and let anther hunter who would love a 5x5 take him, than to take a 5x5 because someone else would and be disappointed it was a 5x5 and not a 6x6.
Never settle.

Mopar Electronic Ignition System - Stand By For IgnitionWritten by on January 1, 2003 Low-Buck Ignition Upgrades Are Easy With Mopar Electronics
The Mopar electronic ignition system introduced in 1972 was cutting edge in its day. While everyone else was using the ancient points-type ignitions, Chrysler scooped 'em all with the electronic unit.
A magnetic pickup coil in the distributor is triggered by one of eight tips of the rotating reluctor, sending the signal to the ignition control box to fire the coil via internal transistorized electronics. It was a giant leap forward over points, which were nothing but mechanical switches handling the primary voltage of the ignition system. That was a long time ago, and the Mopar electronic ignition concept has changed little since then. As a basic ignition-triggering system, however, it just doesn't get any better. Reliability, accuracy, and high spark energy were all hallmarks of the original system, and over the years, the system has been refined with better and more modern electronics.
Do you get the feeling that we kind of like Chrysler's electronic ignition?
The Mopar electronic system is comprised of three key components, each of which contributes to the performance of the system. First, of course, is the distributor. The distributor's function is simply to act as a switch, sending a signal to the control unit to fire the coil, and routing the spark energy to the plug wires.
Now that we've already gone through the three major players-the distributor, control unit, and coil-let's have a closer look at the distributor.
As a switch, the distributor's first function is to tell the control unit when it's time to fire. This is timing, and the event occurs when one of the eight tips of the rotating reluctor comes in line with the magnetic pickup unit. Complicating things is the fact that timing has to vary under various running conditions, so the distributor has provisions for altering the timing. This function is handled by the advance mechanisms enclosed in the distributor.
Two systems are employed to alter the timing: the mechanical advance and the vacuum advance. Since the signal to fire is given whenever the reluctor and pickup line up, varying the timing has to be accomplished by changing the relative positions of these two components. The mechanical advance mechanism uses centrifugal weights controlled by springs to rotate the reluctor forward relative to the pickup. The vacuum-advance mechanism uses a vacuum diaphragm to pull the pickup unit, mounted to a pivoting plate, back relative to the reluctor. In a high-performance application, the mechanical advance is the most relevant, since at wide-open throttle, there's no vacuum, so you won't see any vacuum advance. Performance-tuning a distributor mainly involves getting the mechanical advance optimized. There are two characteristics to a conventional mechanical advance system, which boils down to "how much?" and "when?"
"How much?" is the maximum amount of mechanical advance the mechanism delivers. Performance engines like a certain amount of advance through most of the upper operating range, usually referred to by tuners as the amount of "total" advance. Typically, Mopar engines respond best with between 35 and 40 degrees of total advance, depending on the combination. The "total" advance is the sum of where the timing starts, the initial timing setting at idle, plus the amount the mechanical advance mechanism adds in. Stock engines don't need a lot of initial advance to provide smooth idle and good off-idle acceleration without detonation, and typically run initial timing near TDC (top dead center). By contrast, a hot-cammed street sweeper often needs 15 degrees or more just to idle cleanly. If both engines run best with 35 degrees "total," the stocker, starting at 5 degrees initial, will need way more mechanical advance in the distributor mechanism to get to 35 degrees "total" than would a hot mill idling with 15 degrees initial (10 degrees more, to be exact). Setting up the amount of mechanical advance comes down to figuring out what the desired (or required) initial timing setting needs to be, then limiting the mechanical advance to the value required to achieve the optimal total setting.
The second part of the mechanical advance mechanism to consider is the rate at which the advance comes in. This is the function of the advance springs. Stiffer springs bring the advance in more slowly, while lighter ones let the advance come in sooner. The springs answer the question of "when?"
There are many theories on what is best, but often the mistake is to go too quick with the advance rate. Some springs are so light that the mechanical advance will start to swing in at idle rpm, which can cause real driveability problems, erratic idle, or the engine nosing over and stalling when the rpm drops and the engine suddenly loses a fistful of timing at idle. Detonation can also result from too much timing too fast. Considering that in a performance application the engine flashes against the converter over 2,500 rpm, or much higher in a racier car, a super-quick advance curve gains little, if anything. On the other hand, the factory setup feeds in additional timing rather slowly in the high-rpm range-well beyond the point where the "total" should be. What is best for your car depends upon the combination, although a rule of thumb is to have the advance start a few hundred rpm over idle speed and reach full advance by 2,500 rpm or so in a typical street car-higher if it detonates. The curve is easy to map with a timing light and tach.
While the distributor handles the switching and routing chores, it has little to do with the spark energy. This is the primary function of the control unit and ignition coil combination. The control unit affects the amount of primary energy and saturation time to the coil, which influences its output. There are a variety of Mopar Performance ignition-control units available for specific levels of performance and rpm. Ultimately, it is the coil's job to generate the voltage that goes to the spark plugs. A high-performance ignition coil is worth considering in a performance ignition, particularly as demands of rpm and compression go up. Be aware that some race coils are not suitable for prolonged low-rpm street use.
Our recently acquired '68 Barracuda's 318 was sparked by a stock points ignition. Suffice to say that it was one of the first items on the hit list in upgrading this machine. We had stacks of the stock production distributors on hand, and decided to dissect one for a full performance rebuild. Eventually, we plan on beefing up this 318 with a set of ported iron heads, and a big cam and induction combo, so the advance was modified accordingly. Even in a stock-for-stock exchange, electronic ignition offers the kind of reliable, long-term performance that a points ignition can never match.
We had fun and saved some dough tricking out our salvaged sparker, but if you'd rather just bolt one on ready to go, Mopar Performance offers these gems brand new as conversion kits, including the wiring harness, ballast, and control box, or as individual components at a reasonable cost. Either way, when it comes to Mopar ignition systems, the factory stuff packs a lot of performance.

Our points-equipped '68 'Cuda was ripe for a low-buck ignition upgrade, so we reached into our trough of cores and harvested a factory small-block electronic distributor for a high-performance build.Chrysler's factory electronic distributor was state-of-the-art in its day, and as good as it gets for high-performance street applications. The plan was to strip and rebuild this tired distributor and modify it with performance upgrades in mind. Step one is removing the reluctor, which just pries up with a couple of screwdrivers. Take care not to lose the roll pin, which indexes it to the shaft.The magnetic pickup assembly and vacuum advance unit can come off next. They come undone by removing the four screws on the outside of the housing and unhooking the vacuum canister's advance arm from the plate.To remove the shaft assembly, the roll pin at the retaining collar is punched out with a pin punch. Don't lose the thrust washer shims under the collar.The length of the slots on the mechanical advance plate (pointer) determines how many degrees of mechanical advance the distributor will deliver. In a high-performance application, it's typically desirable to shorten the amount of mechanical advance so more initial advance can be dialed in while keeping the total (max) mechanical advance constant.The shaft is comprised of two pieces, which must be separated to disassemble the mechanical advance mechanism. A small hard-to-get-to wire retainer inside the upper shaft is spread open while the advance plate is levered upward.Most factory advance plates are stamped on the underside with the number of degrees of advance they deliver in distributor degrees. The plate in our distributor was stamped 15, meaning it provides 15 distributor degrees at full advance, which equates to 30 degrees at the crank. In our case, if we set up our small-block for full mechanical advance in the neighborhood of 35 degrees total-typically about ideal for max power-we would have only 5 degrees BTDC at idle, much less than ideal for a big-cammed small-block.We wanted to run about 15 degrees of initial advance (at idle), and have the engine timed for 35 degrees total (at full mechanical advance). That means the distributor needs to provide 20 degrees of mechanical advance instead of the 30 in the factory plate. To shorten the mechanical advance, the slots need to be shortened. The slots in our plate measured .480 inch long. We zapped the ends of the slots with a MIG welder to get some of the advance out of our plate.
We installed a new cap and rotor as well as a new O-ring left over from a Fel-Pro engine rebuild kit. The total cost of the rebuild was next to nothing, but this distributor will go toe-to-toe with any high-performance sparker in a hot street application.Our gorgeous rebuilt distributor was destined for our ugly 318 in the '68 Barracuda fastback we recently acquired. The car still had the stock points ignition. Although the engine combo is still mild, serious mods will be coming later, so the distributor's curve was set up with what's to come in mind.We needed to convert to electronic ignition. The first step was to mount the control unit. We had this racy Mopar Performance high-performance orange-box control unit that Hot Rod magazine's Steve Magnante flipped our way.The welds were dressed with a mini sanding disc, and the slots were cleaned up with a machinist needle file to .370 inch.The distributor parts were cleaned with carb cleaner, and we were ready to rebuild. Typical replacement parts include the reluctor and magnetic pickup, and vacuum canisters-all of which are readily available through retail auto parts sources. Distributor bushings can be had from Chrysler, if required. For our build, we replaced the reluctor, pickup, and canister with some nice units we already had lying around.The advance mechanism goes together first, starting with the weights and springs. Stock distributors come with a light spring, which controls most of the curve, and a heavy spring which has an extended eye, keeping it out of operation until about two thirds of the advance is in, and slowly releasing the rest up to 4,500 rpm. We ran the stock light spring, but replaced the heavy spring with the lightest one from a Mr. Gasket kit. Installing the advance plate completes the advance mechanism. Lube it where it fits over the shaft, and don't forget the nylon spacer below or the wire retaining clip above.The shaft assembly is lubed and installed in the housing. Remember the thrust washer between the two. Reinstall the retaining collar and pin, along with the thrust washer(s). The endplay should be between .003 inch and .017 inch, and can be adjusted with different or additional thrust washers. The shaft should turn freely, and have no noticeable side-to-side slop.Vacuum-advance canisters vary considerably in the amount of vacuum advance they will provide. Many factory units were stamped with the max advance value in distributor degrees on the arm. We sifted through a pile we had stacked up over the years, and decided upon a 6.5-degree can, which adds a modest 13 crank degrees at full vacuum advance.Finish the rebuild by installing the reluctor, pickup, and vacuum canister. The reluctor is slotted with two keyway slots, with an arrow corresponding to distributor rotation indicating which to use. Remember, clockwise for small-blocks and counterclockwise for big-blocks. Set the gap between the reluctor and pickup to .008 inch to .010 inch with a non-magnetic feeler gauge.
The engine was cranked around to 10 degrees BTDC with the rotor pointed to the No. 1 plug wire, then the distributor was unbolted and removed.Our "new" high-performance electronic distributor was bolted in with the rotor facing the same way as the old distributor, and the housing aligned so that the No. 1 terminal location was in line with the rotor, and one of the reluctor tips was in line with the pickup unit.We got a new electronic ignition wiring harness from Mopar Performance, PN P3690152. While we know guys like Bolig can get intim-idated by wiring, this conversion is really simple. The harness has five wires, and the control unit has only four pins. Cut off the green/red-striped wire, which is the unused wire. That leaves just four wires. Two are used for the plug that hooks to the distributor, so there are really only two wires to worry about. The black/yellow-striped wire goes to the coil (-), and the blue/yellow-striped wire goes to +12v ignition to power up the control unit.The stock coil was replaced with an ACCEL performance piece. The hookup on the (+) side uses the same wire as the old points ignition. For the (-) side, the black/yellow-striped wire from the control unit is used.The ballast resistor was swapped to a Mopar Performance P5206436, a companion piece for Mopar's electronic ignition, replacing our 30-year-old stocker (left). It fit in the stock location. The power feed wire for the control unit can be tapped right off the feed (power in) side of the ballast. Typically, the feed side of the ballast has two wires-a brown ignition start wire and a dark blue ignition run wire. We just added the feed wire (blue/yellow-striped) to the control box with a new terminal here.The rock-hard flea market spark-plug wires that were on the car were tossed, and we cut a set of custom ACCEL 8mm SuperStock ignition wires to finish off our ignition upgrades. With a total investment of an afternoon's fun, and precious few bucks, we replaced our feeble points ignition with a hot high-performance ignition that will go years without a second thought.

I have to admit, I have it easy. I live in Amsterdam. Whether I stick my head out of the window or step outside, ANYwhere I go and look (aka, point my camera) there are bikes. Either stationary or with people on them. There's not a single angle you can view this city without them draping the mis-en-scene. The same, and often more of it applies to the rest of the country. Anyway, as Amsterdamize's faithful readers know, it doesn't mean I take that for granted, unlike many of my fellow Dutchies. They just ride. They put cycling on the same conscious level as walking. You just move, from A to B. "Cycling is just a faster way of walking" & "Bikes are like shoes" are popular memes. We've come a long way since the destructive decline between 1950 - 1975. Newcomers: that's geek speak for 'this bicycle culture was man-made'. Sundays aren't any different from other days of the week. So similarly, I had my camera with me and on my A to B to C to D route I first stopped for 15 minutes at Meester Visserplein near Waterloo square I started clicking away, aka I put my hand in the proverbial cookie jar.
It's always nice to get a kiss for your efforts ;). Next up, I positioned myself in front of Cafe Americain of the American Hotel on Leidseplein, again for about 15 min. Plenty to see.
And often enough, somebody notices me too ;).

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Memphis motel where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 45 years ago has been transported to the city where the civil rights hero led his March on Washington.
A new production of the award-winning Broadway play "The Mountaintop" opened Thursday night at Arena Stage for a five-week run, reimagining the night before King's death in 1968.
The play opened on Broadway in 2011 starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett as a motel made who visits King. It's gone on to become one of the most produced plays nationwide this season.
This production stars Bowman Wright as King and Joaquina Kalukango as Camae, the maid.
Playwright Katori Hall was a resident playwright at Arena Stage's American Voices New Play Institute through the end of 2012.

Philips LED wins US Government lighting prize
- Date
- 04 August 2011
NEW YORK: Philips, a member of The Climate Group, has been awarded the first L Prize for energy efficiency, by the US Government's Department of Energy (DoE).
The DoE awarded the lighting company a $10 million cash prize for its 60-watt equivalent LED bulb, which is on track to be sold to consumers by 2012.
The bulb uses the same design as Philips' commercial LEDS, but went through an extensive 18 months of testing to ensure that its performance, quality, lifetime, cost and availability were up to the standard needed for large-scale adoption and mass production.
Philips' winning bulb can produce the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent at 900 lumens, but impressively consumes less than 10 watts. It also has a lifetime rated at a staggering 25,000 hours.
These credentials push the bulb into the same league as ENERGY STAR-rated compact florescent lights, proving the innovative design is leading the way in energy efficient lighting.
Steven Chu, Energy Secretary stated: "The L Prize challenges the best and brightest minds in the US lighting industry to make the technological leaps forward that can greatly reduce the money we spend to light our homes and businesses each year. Not only does the L Prize challenge innovative companies like Philips to make LED technology even more energy efficient, it also spurs the lighting industry to make LEDs affordable for American families."
Zia Eftekhar, CEO, Philips Lighting North America said: "We looked at the L Prize challenge as an opportunity to innovate and develop an energy efficient alternative to a product that has remained largely unchanged for over a century."
Phil Jessup, Head of International Lighting, The Climate Group, says of Philips' achievement: "Philips' L-Prize win is a major milestone in the advance of LED lighting globally. In the US alone, if every 60 watt incandescent lamp were replaced by Philips' 60 watt bulb, 20 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions would be avoided. Innovations in lighting products like these reduce national energy use, create jobs, and save money for consumers. Congratulations to the lighting design team at Philips, for helping drive a Clean Revolution."
The Department of Energy's L Prize competition was launched in 2008, and challenges the 60-watt bulb because it is one of the most popularly used light bulbs, representing around 50% of the domestic incandescent light bulb market.

text: Hunting in the dark thick timber is very hard. I talked to some guys from Washington that were up here elk hunting by where I am elk hunting and they said they dont understand how we do it out here. It can be very frustrating. Your best bet is to find maybe like some good trails in the thick timber and walk them. If you can find a good open area where they might be feeding, you can always set up in the timber and wait for them to come out in the evening to feed. I usually walk through the timber but stay close enough to where I can watch for feeding and water areas. How you hunt them is also going to be very weather dependent. That really wasnt probably much help at all... lol at least I tried
