we need a head count of every 540 built in this country: Let's see, one . . . two . .
Jeff traded a Pro Street El Camino for this car.
Big-Block RS/SS Camaro
Who: Jeff Bradley
Where: Indianapolis, IN
What: '67 Chevy Camaro RS/SS
Why: Jeff gave us a story that dated back to the late '70s, when the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals had an attendance cutoff number of 5,000 cars. Those days are back, and Jeff is reliving them with his Camaro. The car is a combination of a base-model body and all the trim from a rusted-out RS/SS car. Since it wasn't original, Jeff thought it would be OK to add a GM crate 454 in place of the 396 along with a 4L60E transmission. He also added the 18-inch American Racing Torq-Thrust II wheels and a set of Baer 13-inch brakes in the front and 12-inch brakes in the rear.
We Say: We think the days of cutting up '67 Camaros for Pro Street are over. Cut up a Fox Mustang instead.
Good separation.
Truck Parts
Who: Todd Cole
Where: Bixby, OK
What: '71 Chevy Camaro
Why: Todd says that his Camaro was assembled using parts from a farm truck including the 454. This pass was made using 89-octane fuel.
We Say: We're guessing 11s. Always send a timeslip.
Part T-Bird
Who: Michael Peoples
Where: Ft. Bragg, NC
What: '66 Ford Mustang
Why: It has the standard 289 and C4 transmission, but it's controlled by a fuel-injection system from an '87 T-bird.
We Say: Should we run an article about how to build your own fuel-injection system?
We're big fans of work in progress.
Garage Scene
Who: Monte Dinnell
Where: Fox Lake, IL
What: '71 Chevy Camaro Z28
Why: The list of parts on this car is long and expensive, so we will cut to the main points. It has a Heidt's frontend with all those tubular goodies, Hotchkis sway bars, and Stainless Steel brakes. For the engine, Monte is using a 350-inch small-block with Brodix heads. It makes 425 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque.
We Say: Never totally finish any project. It's more fun to keep taking it apart.
Working Too Hard?
Guys, a great freakin'article on carcraft.com ("Low-Buck vs. High-Dollar," CCRP 0709). The comparisons on the dyno were single-handedly the best article I have ever read in any car magazine in the last 15 years. It should be a regular feature!!
-Ben Wahlstrom, Albany, ORRegular feature? We almost killed Jeff Smith and racked up thousands of dollars in dyno time. OK, we'll do it every month.
Trophy-winning paint for $83
Read your article ("It Ain't Paint," CCRP 0708) about low-buck paint jobs. Did mine for $82.50. Bought a paint kit for $49.50 plus a shipping cost of $12.00 on eBay through Smartshoppersinc.com. The kit includes a gallon of acrylic enamel, 25 color choices, 2 quarts of enamel reducer, 1 pint of hardener, a paint suit, a spray sock, three rolls of masking tape, and paint sticks. I bought some Rust-Oleum primer and enamel reducer and wet/dry sandpaper at Lowe's for $15.00. I spent about four hours sanding and putting on the primer and another two painting. For a race car, it looked good enough to win a trophy* at Starbird's Rod & Custom show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If I had spent more time prepping, it would have looked even better. Still, it did the job.
-Doug Friedman, Broken Arrow, OK
The only things keeping our readers from eating this guy are the Cragars and the 302.
Umm . . . AMC?
Who: He wisely did not give his name.
Where: Yah, he forgot to give us this too.
What: '69 IKA (Kaiser) Renault Torino 380W
Why: According to this guy, Renault used a Rambler American body reworked by Pininfarina to sell in Europe. This one has Yankee Doodle running gear like a Ford 302, a four-speed, and a Dana 44 rear. It's weird enough to show you.
We Say: It's French. Sorry about that.
Who: Joe Faris
Where: Newton, KS
What: Used to be a 540-inch big-block Chevy on nitrous until a bad wire caused a fireball.
Why: This guy totally barbecued his big-block, then thought enough of us to snap a photo and send it in. Thanks, Joe!
We Say: This car was in the Apr. '03 Readers' section.
Jeep SiX
Who: Todd Sears
Where: Colona, IL
What: '69 AMC Rambler American
Why: This is different. Instead of stuffing a V-8 in there and tearing around the city, Todd swapped in a fuel-injected 4.0L from a '97 Jeep Cherokee with a header, cold-air kit, and JET Performance Products piggyback ECM to control things.
We Say: That 904 TorqueFlite can probably handle the horsepower, no problem.
This Just In: Rack is Tacky!
Hey CC. The On the Rack segment is tacky! No, I'm not gay! I just think that if you want to have girls in a car magazine, have them pose with a car. I know when I was younger my garage had some nice pictures of cars with the occasional tasteful model. I think it would be cool to have a feature car as a centerfold that could be put up on the garage wall or beer fridge.
Ah, just like the good old days. Just don't tell my wife! Anyway, still love the mag otherwise. Well, maybe just a little more Mopar!
-Lou Nagy, Ontario, Canada
What? You think a girl posing on a car is more tasteful than one in a tight speed shirt?

We have a server with apache running on 443 as a reverse proxy to one of our servers. Trying to install Zimbra Proxy on the same server and since 443 is used by apache, it's failing with interface "in use".
Is it possible to
Use the zimbra-proxy to do what httpd is currently doing? Can I add the ProxyPass lines to the zimbra proxy config file? Where is the Zimbra Proxy virtual hosts file? This way we can kill apache, and use Zimbra Proxy to do both, proxy mail and be the reverse proxy for our other server.
Can we, using a config file, set the proxy to only bind to eth0 and not all interfaces?
Also, running latest 8.0.3 too.
Thanks. Hope someone can help.

Crazy win for Mountaineers
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Juwan Staten found his way to a soft chair in one of the Coliseum clubs shortly after West Virginia's game with Virginia Tech late Saturday afternoon, plopped himself down and quickly managed to sum up the previous two hours fairly succinctly.
"That game,'' the sophomore point guard said, "was crazy from start to finish.''
The fact that a West Virginia team that less than two weeks ago was mired in a 1-3 start had just handed the 7-0 Hokies their first loss of the season wasn't even close to the top of the list of crazy.
No, in truth that wasn't all that surprising at all. When Staten drove through a confused Tech defense for the game-winning layup with five seconds to play and then denied Hokies star guard Erick Green a chance to win it with his defense at the buzzer, it actually seemed pretty much true to form. After all, the former rivals were meeting for the first time in nine years and upsets have always been a part of the series.
So West Virginia's 68-67 win wasn't all that unexpected. Consider, though, all that led to it:
"Hey, if teams are able to back off of you when you're standing out there at the 3-point line, you're not doing your team any good,'' Murray said. "We just took what the defense gave us.''
Indeed, Virginia Tech (7-1) was giving West Virginia those unguarded 3-pointers by the big men rotating out in the motion offense by design. First-year Tech coach James Johnson admitted as much, saying he didn't care how many 3-pointers Noreen and Murray took as long as they weren't beating the Hokies inside with offensive rebounds.
"We wanted to take away the paint and make them beat us on the outside,'' Johnson said.
As it turned out, the Hokies did neither and it was the difference in the game. West Virginia not only made Tech pay for packing their defense inside by making those outside shots, the Mountaineers still dominated the boards. West Virginia had 23 offensive rebounds and held a 49-38 rebounding edge overall. WVU led in second-chance points just 18-10, but got its final nine points either in the paint or on free throws earned there.
Still, in the end it came down to a back-and-forth final few minutes in which neither team led by more than two points. Green, the nation's No. 2 scorer, and Robert Brown provided the fireworks for Tech, while Murray, Noreen and Staten countered for the Mountaineers.
WVU seemed in a good position to perhaps wrap it up with 20 seconds to play when, holding a 66-64 lead, the Mountaineers tied up Green on a drive to the basket and he had to give it up to the perimeter. But that's when Brown banked in a prayer of a 3-pointer to put Tech up 67-66 with 17 seconds to play.
"That kind of rattled all of us,'' Staten said of playing great defense and then seeing that shot bank in.
In the time remaining, though, it was all Staten. He drove to the basket with nine seconds left and ran into a brick wall and the ball went out of bounds off the Hokies. On the re-do, he did pretty much the same thing from the same angle, driving to the basket from the right of the key.
This time, though, Tech's switching defense got lost on Noreen moving away from the basket and the lane became wide open. Staten made an easy layup with five seconds to play.
"[Noreen] set the screen in there and I saw them switch and knew what was going to happen,'' Staten said.
Tech called time and then inbounded from just short of midcourt with 3.4 seconds to play. Green never gave up the ball and Staten never left him, backing down the floor and into the lane and then leaping up to defend his shot from near the foul line. It bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
"I just wanted to back up and bait him into shooting as soon as I could,'' Staten said. "When he took the shot I just tried to get into him.''
Green would end up with 23 points and Brown 21, but both worked for almost everything and Tech ended up nearly 20 points shy of its season scoring average.
Noreen, averaging just 12 minutes and 1.3 points coming in, had 14 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes. All are career highs. Murray had 15 points and seven boards, while freshman Eron Harris had 10 points and a couple of huge 3-pointers as WVU was rallying from a five-point deficit inside of nine minutes.
The Mountaineers now have a short turnaround for a Tuesday night game against Duquesne at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, followed by next Saturday's game with unbeaten Michigan in Brooklyn.

Hi goldbry! First of all congrats on the publishing deal! Second, once you find someone you can have your drawing scanned at any kinkos or many office supply stores also have a copy/print service which includes scanning. As far as the rate goes, your artist will negotiate with you on it. I'm happily surprised that your editor is suggesting that you provide a map; there are many aspiring novelists around here making maps and most of the resources I've found have said the publishers usually like to hire people themselves.
Sounds like a great project, I'm sure you'll find someone very soon!

Video: 87-pound teen says parents locked him up for years
Video: Who is Paulding couple in abuse case
Video: Teen says parents locked him up for years
DALLAS, Ga. -- Investigators are getting a closer look Friday at the home where a malnourished Paulding County teen said he was locked up for years.
Authorities said 18-year-old Mitch Comer was just 87 pounds when a retired LAPD officer found him at a Los Angeles bus station this week. On Friday they conducted a search warrant at the home where he lived in Dallas.
"We were able to locate the room that he was in," said Paulding County Sheriff Corporal Ashley Henson. "We were able to corroborate a couple of things that he had said about the room so we have every reason to believe what Mitch told us is accurate."
Investigators say Mitch Comer was secluded in a bedroom of the home on Vivid Lane. Two sisters, age 11 and 13, told police they haven't seen him for two years even though they lived in the same house.
Corporal Henson said it was understandable why Mitch never tried to escape. "We believe there was a lot of fear and intimidation and you also have to remember that this is a kid who has been abused for quite some time," he said. "He's small in stature, weighs 87 pounds, so he's probably very afraid."
Paulding County investigators have charged Mitch's adoptive father Paul Matthew Comer, 48, with six counts of Cruelty to Children and one count of False Imprisonment.
Mitch's mother, 39 year old Sheila Marie Comer is charged with the same counts.
11Alive News spoke with Janet Comer, the mother of Paul Comer who, along with his family, is at the center of these allegations.
Janet says she hasn't spoken with Paul in four years but the last time they talked she said that her son had complained that Mitch was "giving him some trouble." She suggested counseling.
According to Janet, Mitch was not a 'problem child.' She said he liked "playing on the computer, fishing and camping." The child abuse allegations are a surprise to her -- she says they make her "sick to her stomach." She claims they boy could have come to live with her.
According to Paulding County Sheriff's spokesman Cpl. Ashley Henson, the retired officer was working security at the bus station and approached Comer because he looked out of place. The man contacted police when Comer said his parents put him on a bus in Mississippi and told him never to come home.
Comer told detectives his parents locked him in his room on Vivid Lane in Dallas, Ga., for several years. His younger sisters told investigators they didn't even know the color of their brother's hair because they hadn't seen him in over two years.
Neighbors told 11Alive News they had never seen the boy and rarely saw his mother, 39-year-old Sheila Marie Comer.
The boy's stepfather, who adopted him, was identified as 48-year-old Paul Matthew Comer. Both he and his wife have been arrested on charges of cruelty to children and false imprisonment. Additional charges are possible. The GBI and FBI are also investigating. The couple is being held at the Paulding County Detention Center without bond.
Police brought Mitch Comer back to Paulding County on Thursday and were searching the family's home Friday afternoon. Cromer's younger sisters have been put in the care of Paulding County Department of Family and Children Services.
Investigators have found no records of Comer attending school after the eighth grade, when the family lived in Cherokee County, and there are no signs his sisters were ever enrolled in school or formal home school programs.
Anyone with information on the Comers is urged to contact the Paulding County Sheriff's Office Crimes Against Children Division at 770-445-6105.


text: I fell in love with the work of Tennessee Williams when I first read the script of The Glass Menagerie in a drama class in middle school. So it may come as no surprise that at the top of my Christmas wish list was a ticket to the Broadway revival of Williams' best-known play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The show centers around patriarch Big Daddy's 65th birthday party, at which his family plans to tell him that he is dying of cancer. It explores gender roles, familial relationships, and the secrets we try so desperately to hide. Scarlett Johansson will play Big Daddy's daughter-in-law, Maggie, and returns to Broadway after a Tony Award®-winning turn in Arthur Miller's A View From a Bridge. Ciaran Hinds, Benjamin Walker, and Debra Monk round out the all-star cast who will open the show at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on January 17. I'll be seated in the audience for a performance not long after.

Iowa State Defeats West Virginia, 3-0
Related Links
Turning Point of the Match
The difference in the match was ISU's ability to get early leads in the first set, allowing for some leeway when West Virginia battled back in each of the sets. The first set saw Iowa State jump out to a 10-4 lead before WVU called a timeout to get back involved.
The second set saw the Mountaineers get the first point, but ISU went on a subsequent 7-0 run on the serving of the Big 12's top server in Tory Knuth. During the run, Knuth had two aces. The first may have been the best produced by the redshirt sophomore this season, a stinger that dipped after it got over the net so sharply that none of the WVU defense could react on time.
The third set saw the Cyclones sprint out to a 13-4 advantage.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to…
Tory Knuth. She is the rare middle blocker who can make an impact in three dimensions of the game and all three stood out on Saturday. She had one of the most efficient matches of her career, earning eight kills at a .571 hitting percentage. Her serving was in top form, earning two aces during a second set run. Lastly her blocking, something ISU has needed in its pursuit of improving the Big 12's weakest block, was in play today as she recorded a solo block and two block assists as the Cyclones out-blocked WVU 8.0-to-5.0.
Honorable mention to Ciara Capezio, who had nine kills and five service aces. Kristen Hahn only had two digs in the first set before finishing the match with 19 after posting nine digs in the second set and eight in the third set.
Quoting Christy Johnson-Lynch
"I thought we served really well today. (Ciara) Capezio's serves were flying over the net and that was really cool to see her serve so toughly. Statistically, we had one of our best blocking nights of the season. We have two straight nights where our blocking has improved."
Cyclone Notes
*Iowa State started Big 12 play 4-1 for the third time under head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. The Cyclones started Big 12 play 5-1 in 2007, and 8-1 in 2011.
*ISU out-blocked West Virginia 8.0-5.0, only the third time all season the Cyclones finished a match with more blocks than their opponents (San Diego, at Texas Tech).
*Iowa State has had more service aces than its opponents in all five matches this season. The Cyclones have had 30 aces in Big 12 play and have conceded only six aces.
*Kristen Hahn finished the match with 19 digs, marking her 55th straight match with at least 10 digs.
*Ciara Capezio had a career-best five service aces on the evening. She is the second Cyclone to have a five-service ace match this season (Caitlin Nolan vs. Illinois).
On Deck
Iowa State has a mid-week bye before its showdown at No. 4 Texas. The match begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised on FSN.

|Methodists celebrate 125th with vision of a future with hope

"Visioning a Future with Hope" was the sermon message at First United Methodist Church of Holyoke Sunday, Nov. 4 as the congregation and guests celebrated the church's 125th anniversary.
Rev. Skip Strickland, district superintendent, delivered the sermon message, emphasizing the direction of growing a future with hope.
Pastor Al Strauss welcomed the congregation, which numbered close to 150, to the Celebration Sunday. He also shared words on the celebration of 125 years of God's service and asked members of the congregation to share, as well.

In addition to the special service, those attending enjoyed viewing displays of history pieces from the past 125 years. Another table displayed the contents of the time capsule which was buried in 1970 and was dug up the week prior to the 125th anniversary celebration, just in time for the festivities.
A catered meal followed the worship service, and the church membership then conducted its annual charge conference with Dist. Supt. Strickland.
Praise Team members Kala Yost, Mardi Stewart, Nancy Kennedy and Luke Stewart led the congregation in worship music throughout the morning's service.
Sharon Murray was at the organ for prelude, offertory and postlude music.
Megan Humphreys also shared her musical talent with a vocal solo, "Blessings."

Youth of the congregation had a special message from guest children's speaker "Butterfly" before heading to K.I.D.S. Church.
Scripture lessons from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Philippians 2:1-8 were read by Donna Oliver and Gary Sperber.
Gwen Triplette read the names of the members of 50 years and more, noting their combined service totalled 1,398 years.
Dixie Fagerlin and former pastor Darrell Dennis celebrated the pastors who have served the local congregation. The names of all 48 pastors in the 125-year history were read, and letters of congratulations from several former pastors were shared, as well.
Members and guests of the First United Methodist Church of Holyoke take time to look at history pieces, as well as memorabilia from the church time capsule which was buried in 1970 and retrieved in time for the 125th anniversary celebration Sunday, Nov. 4. Celebration Sunday included a special worship service, followed by dinner. —Enterprise photo
Kevin Humphreys led the celebration of church leadership, asking people to stand if they'd taught Sunday School, served on a committee, served a dinner, participated in a Bible study, etc. By the time he was finished, a good share of the congregation was on their feet.
Pleasant stories from days gone by in the history of First United Methodist Church of Holyoke added a fine dimension to the day of celebration.

WASHINGTON (AP) - With American troops at war for more than a decade, an unprecedented number of studies are looking into war zone psychology.
And clinicians suspect that some troops are suffering from an emotional problem they call "moral injuries" - wounds from having done something, or failed to stop something, that violates their moral code.
A moral injury tortures the conscience. Its symptoms include deep shame, guilt and rage.
A former psychiatry consultant to the Army surgeon general, retired Col. Elspeth Ritchie, says it's not clear how to treat moral injury.
The Defense Department has approved funding for a study among Marines at California's Camp Pendleton to test a therapy that doctors hope will ease guilt.
But officials say a solution could be a long time off.

Associated Press Release
OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- A man on probation for sexual activity with a miniature donkey is back in jail on unrelated charges.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that 32-year-old Carlos R. Romero was arrested Thursday on a warrant for dealing in stolen property and violation of Florida's pawnbroker act. Ocala Police say he stole 16 train batteries.
On Dec. 14, Romero accepted a plea offer from the State Attorney's Office for a year of probation and a $200 fine, avoiding jail at the time. He pleaded guilty to sexual activity with a miniature donkey named Doodle.
Since then, Romero says he has been living in the woods or his pickup truck and eating food from Dumpsters. He says he didn't know he had a warrant for his arrest and thinks the charges are bogus.

Fri Aug 19 10:01:00 EDT 2011, Magnetic North Pole
As a followup to the post about Magnetic Compass Useless, here is the location of the Magnetic North Pole, so you should be able to click on the blog map to see where it is.
Latitude:N 82° 17' 60" Longitude:W 113° 24' 0"
Magnetic North Pole position supplied by Douglas Pohl of northwestpassage2011.blogspot.com.
Thu Aug 18 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Franklin Strait
Being close to the magnetic north pole means that magnetic compasses don't work. The needles try to point down. I'm not sure where the magnetic north pole is now (the magnetic poles move), but it is within several hundred miles of us. Issuma's compass stopped working in NW Baffin Bay.
Nautical charts have compass roses on them, where a compass dial in relation to True North and inside it, a smaller compass dial in relation to Magnetic North. The picture is from a Canadian arctic chart.
Wed Aug 17 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Baffin Bay
The well-rounded iceberg in the picture looks like it has been floating around for a while, and has turned at least partially over before, based on how rounded it is. Possibly this is a bergy bit, not an iceberg, the difference being a bergy bit (piece of ice broken off an iceberg) shows less than 5m/15' above the surface of the water.
Amos, that is a great poem (in the comments to an earlier post). Thanks for sharing it.
Tue Aug 16 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Lancaster Sound
The stark and striking coastline of Devon Island.
The blog is a bit behind, we are now in Bellot Strait.
To answer George's questions: We left Upernavik with 1400 litres of fuel, which gives a theoretical range under power (at 4.5 to 5 knots) of 1400 miles. A lot less if in ice. Things are much different now than in Amundsen's time. Besides having GPS, radar and better charts, there is much less ice now. Getting trapped in the ice is still a great danger, as there is still ice, and even in areas where the new ice has melted, winds can take older ice breaking up in other areas and bring it into areas that would otherwise be clear, but on the whole, the arctic ice is melting. As for seal and bear hunting, we have enough ammo for protection against polar bears, but not really enough for subsistence hunting.
Mon Aug 15 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Baffin Bay
While much of the crossing of Baffin Bay involved motoring in calm, foggy conditions, sometimes there was beautiful sailing across enticing, misty, sunlit seas.
Sun Aug 14 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Baffin Bay
In the middle of Baffin Bay, after a few days of seeing nothing but sky, water, ice and fog, Jordan saw a sailboat in the distance. I called on the VHF radio for sailboat at our approximate position, and Jeffrey Allison of Essamy answered. We had met in Upernavik, as we were both on the same dock. They left a little later than us and followed a different course--going north of the ice in the middle of Baffin Bay (on yesterdays image) instead of south of it like we did. We had a chat and took some pictures, then continued on our separate ways.
Thanks all for the comments on the blog. The airtime on the satellite phone has been extended, thanks Timothy. Victor and Peter, thanks for the ice reports. Blair, thanks for the Arctic Bay info.
Yvonne, thanks for thinking of us. The sailboat you saw was probably either Matt Rutherford singlehanding a 27 foot sloop, or an Austrian family's boat. If you're going to be staying in the Lancaster Sound and Barrow Strait area, we'll probably miss you, as we have a fair wind and are heading towards Prince Regent Inlet (I'm behind on the blog).
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Sat Aug 13 10:02:00 EDT 2011, Baffin Bay
William Baffin was the pilot for Robert Bylot's 1616 voyage from England, around Kap Farvel (south tip of Greenland), into Davis Strait, up the west coast of Greenland to Melville Bay, then to Smith Sound and Lancaster Sound, then south along the coast of Baffin Island. This was a great achievement for the time (no European had gotten so far beyond Davis Strait), and many doubted that the accounts of the voyage were true. For two centuries afterwards, instead of showing Baffin Bay, charts showed a dotted bulge north of Davis Strait noting the legend of Baffin Bay.
The picture is from an Ice Chart, used because it was handy, and already in digital form. I'll come back to Ice Charts another time. The Ice Chart was received as a weatherfax transmission, hence the grainness and noise in the image. Issuma's track is roughly shown on the map--we intentionally went south of the ice in the middle of Baffin Bay, and then did some tacking later, as required by the wind at the time. Much time was spent motoring in no wind and dense fog.
The arrows on the map roughly show the currents in Baffin Bay (I drew them in, they are not part of the ice chart).
If the blog posts stop after this entry, it is due to a problem getting my Iridium satellite phone airtime refilled, complicated by a technical problem with the satellite phone vendor's telephone system.
congratulations, have a great time
Remember - it took Amundsen 3 years to complete the northwest passage!
Thu Aug 11 11:02:00 EDT 2011, Upernavik, Greenland
The tidy little community of Upernavik (it means The Spring Place). With a population of about 1100, Upernavik is the largest settlement in the area. The harbor is very open to the NW, but there are other places to anchor around the island of Upernavik to get shelter.
We made a very quick food and fuel stop here, we arrived after midnight, tied up to a fishery research boat on the dock, and were gone early in the afternoon. The blog is now a few days behind.
Thanks for the comments on the blog. Yes, Iceland is just around the corner from Greenland and it would certainly be a nice place to visit again.

In 1587, John Davis made his third and last voyage to Davis Strait and what is now called Baffin Bay. Davis named this 300m/1000' cliff Sanderson's Hope, after his main financial backer, William Sanderson of London. Davis wrote 'no ice towards the north but a great sea, free, large, very salt and blue, and of an unsearchable depth'.
A northerly gale prevented Davis from getting any further north than Sandersons Hope, and he sailed back to England.
Thanks for the comments to recent posts.
I'm not able to reply directly to comments while at sea, but I do receive them. It was interesting to read how hot it is in more temperate climates. It is certainly not hot here :). As to the question of where are we going next....stay tuned :)
Tue Aug 9 11:02:00 EDT 2011, Greenland
When I was in Brazil, I took a liking to the drink they have there called caipirinha. It is made with lime, sugar, ice and either cachaca (a spirit from sugar cane) or vodka.
One of the things I wanted to do on this trip to the arctic (well, not the main objective :) ) was to have a caipirinha with ice from an iceberg. I brought some cachaca and some caiprinha mix (we don't have limes aboard) from Brazil for this purpose. In the picture, Lin is holding a piece of ice from an iceberg, and I have the cachaca and caipirinha mix.
On a more serious note, summer in Greenland is dominated by the Greenland High (high pressure, clear skies, light winds), so it can be deceptively tranquil in the arctic. While there are few signs of it now, summer is ending, and the easy, pleasant conditions seen in the pictures along with it.

My name is Keith Pogue and I have been lurking around this site for a few years. I have used hand drawn and painted maps for my rpg campaigns for years, but decided to try some better looking maps.
I have hit a bit of a rut in my gaming campaigns and wanted to breathe some frsh ideas and life into my games. A friend suggested I start drawing some maps to get things rolling and it has helped. My maps look pretty poor compared to the quality around here, but I have already picked up some ideas on making them faster and look better.
Other information about me:
I'm old - I started playing D&D in the mid 70's.
I Coach and Teach at the local high school.
I'm married with 4 kids.
I enjoy sculpting and painting miniatures.
Finally, I am often playing around with gaming stuff when I should be doing something else. For example, right now I should be working on practice plans for our summer camp!
Take care,

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Clippers haven't missed a beat without
star point guard Chris Paul and look to keep the momentum going when they
close out a three-game homestand Wednesday versus the Dallas Mavericks.
Paul went down with a shoulder injury Jan. 3 in a win at Dallas and the
Clippers are 3-1 since. They are 4-1 without Paul this season and 13-10 since
2011-12 when he does not play. Paul will be sidelined the next several weeks.
Darren Collison has been running the point with Paul out and is shooting 66.7
percent from the field in his last six games. The Clippers are 5-1 in that
time and posted their third straight win Friday in a 123-87 demolition of the
rival Los Angeles Lakers. Blake Griffin led the charge in that one with 33
points on 12-of-15 shooting and grabbed 12 rebounds.
Collison and J.J. Redick scored 20 and 19 points, respectively, while DeAndre
Jordan ended with 13 points, 10 boards and seven blocks. It was the Clippers'
largest victory over the Lakers in team history. Redick returned from a 21-
game absence because of injury for L.A., which has seven wins this season by
20 or more points. Minnesota leads the NBA with eight.
"I was obviously out a long time, so the worry was that I would just take a
little bit of time to find a rhythm; and to get into a rhythm in the first
four minutes was surprising, but very nice," said Redick, who scored 10 points
in the first quarter.
Collison has scored 20 points or more in three of the last five games for the
Clippers, who are 10-4 since Dec. 16. Griffin is averaging 26.2 points per
game in that time. Jordan has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in his last 16
games, a career high. Elton Brand did it in 17 straight games back in 2002 and
Michael Cage had a 19-game run from Dec. 10, 1986 - Jan. 16, 1987.
The Clippers have won four in a row at home and sport a 17-3 ledger as the
host this season. The Clippers, sitting one game ahead of Golden State for the
Pacific lead, are first in the NBA in points per game as the host, averaging
110.0. They also have the second-best start after 39 games at 26-13, while the
2012-13 squad opened with a 30-9 record. The best record in franchise history
after 40 games is 31-9, also held by the 2012-13 team.
After hosting Dallas, the Clippers, who are 17-7 against the West and 11-2 at
home in conference play, will head east for seven games against New York,
Indiana, Detroit, Charlotte, Chicago, Toronto and Milwaukee.
Dallas will play two straight and five of six games on the road, and is 9-10
outside of Big D this season.
The Mavericks have won three in a row and seven of their last 10 games,
including Monday's 107-88 rout of the Orlando Magic. Monta Ellis led six
Mavericks players in double figures with 21 points, Vince Carter totaled 17
points, Dirk Nowitzki added 15 and Jose Calderon had 13 points.
Jae Crowder and Wayne Ellington tallied 14 and 12 points, respectively, for
the Mavericks, who shot 50.6 points per game and scored 19 points off 15
Orlando turnovers. The Mavericks, who are averaging 103.1 ppg, will now face a
Clippers team posting an average of 105.3 ppg.
"I think our mindset is different heading into this game on a three-game
winning streak," Ellis said of the upcoming challenge against the Clippers.
"Hopefully we continue with it."
Dallas is seven games above .500 for the first time since the end of the
2011-12 campaign. Carter has scored 10 or more points in six straight games
and Nowitzki is averaging 26.3 ppg in his last three games.
Mavs forward Shawn Marion has missed the last four games with a shoulder and
rib issue, and is questionable Wednesday. Marion is averaging 11.3 points and
7.2 rebounds this season.
The Mavericks lost the first of four meetings with the Clippers, 119-112, on
Jan. 3 at American Airlines Center, where Paul sustained his shoulder injury.
Griffin and Jordan each scored 25 points in that one for Los Angeles, which
has won five of the last seven matchups between the teams.
Dallas has lost three straight games as the visitor in this series. The Mavs
and Clips will meet again March 27 and April 3.

You may have caught a bit of "Back to the Future" or other movies as you've flipped through radio stations the last few days.
WLHR, Hot 107.9, is apparently changing formats. The station, along with several others, was recently sold by Waitt Radio to a new owner, Double-O Radio. Right now "Hot" is playing movies preparing for the change over, which should happen later this week.
"The super computer took over, so we are playing movies while the people of Panama City vote on what they want to hear," says Dave Morgan, the program director.
The FCC has also granted Double-O the station's old call letters, WPFM. The station was a topper former in the late 1970s, 80s and early 90s.

Patriots volleyball splits in Tampa
Published: Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 8:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 8:36 p.m.
TAMPA — The College of Central Florida volleyball wasn't quite able to pull off a sweep on Saturday afternoon in the Hillsborough Community College Tournament.
After sweeping Palm Beach, the Patriots rallied from two sets down to tie host HCC, but dropped the deciding set.
"Against Hillsborough, we started off lost," CF coach Flavia Siqueira said. "It took our freshman awhile to understand how intense the match was going to be.
"Fortunately, we came out after the first set more focused and played well."
CF (3-1) dropped the match against the Hawks 9-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-20, 9-15 in a rematch of last year's state final.
The Patriots, though, did get strong leadership out of Raveen Golston and Brittney Brown, returning starters from last year's squad.
"They did a great job guiding the team and scoring points," Siqueira said.
Golston (14 kills, 12 digs), Brown (12 kills, three blocks) were backed by Martyna Zysk (five blocks) and Jorddalys Santos (27 digs) against HCC.
In the opener, CF downed Palm Beach 25-12, 25-10, 25-14.
"Everyone played against Palm Beach and we were able to make adjustments and change our lineup a few times," Siqueira said. "We were consistent with our hitting and blocking."
CF returns to action on Wednesday night at 7 against Polk State in its home opener.

Devonne Richardson, senior guard of Goldey-Beacom College, has been named as the recipient of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference women's basketball Player of the Week Award for the week ending Dec. 9.
It is the second time Richardson has been honored with the award this season. She also received the honor after leading the lightning to a pair of victories at the St. Thomas Aquinas Classic to open the season. It is also the third CACC weekly accolade for Richardson in her career.
Richardson has posted 10 or more rebounds in six consecutive games and needs just 30 rebounds to become the second player in school history to record 1,000 career rebounds. When she reaches that mark, Richardson will become the second player in school history with at least 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their career.

PITTSBURGH — For the first time all season, Notre Dame's imposing defensive front walked into a game healthy and whole.
It showed for much of the first quarter against Pitt, as Sheldon Day and All-Americans Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix smothered any semblance of a Panther offense.
On the verge of another lock-down series, Tuitt surged forward to plug Pitt quarterback Tom Savage on a first-down scramble.
Their helmets grazed on the collision, drawing a targeting penalty on Tuitt and a controversial ejection from the game. Pitt, which had only gained 45 yards in the first quarter, took advantage of a stunned Irish defense and marched 63 yards for the tying touchdown.
Though the Irish would hold for rest of the first half, the Panthers eventually capitalized on Tuitt's ejection and Notre Dame's rapidly dwindling defensive depth.
Pitt (5-4) out-muscled No. 23 Notre Dame 28-21 at Heinz Field on Saturday, Nov. 9. Notre Dame falls to 7-3, effectively erasing its shot at a BCS bid in January.
The low-scoring slugfest gained steam in the second half. A game that saw 21 total points in a half saw another 21 in 90 seconds.
After Pitt tied the Irish late in the third quarter, Tommy Rees hit TJ Jones in stride for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play of the following drive. Pitt responded just over a minute later with a 63-yard bomb from Savage to Devin Street.
Pitt continued to agonize an Irish defense desperately throwing together a Picasso piece lineup. At one point, linebacker Carlo Calabrese lined up at nose guard.
When the defense needed a lifeline from its offense, Rees threw back-to-back interceptions with the game still tied at 21. Cam McDaniel and Amir Carlisle dropped screen passes, Jones fumbled the ball inside the Pitt 10. A week after running over Navy, Tarean Folston finished with four carries for 13 yards.
A team that survived games without Day and Nix couldn't do the same without Tuitt.
Rees finished 18-of-38 for 318 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Jones led receivers with six grabs for 149 yards and one touchdown.

GERMANTOWN, Md. (WUSA9) -- An ex-husband and his current wife have been arrested for the homicide of Preeta Paul Gabba in Germantown, Montgomery County Police said.
Gabba was found with a gunshot wound in the 19700 block of Crystal Rock Drive on Saturday at 7:46 a.m. after people reported hearing gunshots in the area, police said.
She was transported to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
Several witnesses reported that a woman was seen walking near Gabba at the time of the shooting, but she left before police arrived at the scene, police said.
Gabba's former husband, 62-year-old Baldeo Taneja of Nashville, Tenn. was scheduled to be in court in Montgomery County on Thursday regarding a domestic issue but failed to appear for the hearing, police said.
They say they also discovered that Taneja and his current wife, 63-year-old Raminder Kaur, were both in Montgomery County on Friday and Saturday. Both had purchased two firearms in Nashville on September 28, according to police.
Police say arrest warrants were then issued for Taneja and Kaur for First Degree Murder and Conspiracy to commit First Degree Murder.
On Sunday, Taneja and Kaur were arrested in Nashville and both were charged as Fugitives from Justice, according to police. They are incarcerated in Tennessee and are awaiting extradition to Montgomery County.

Hello guys,
A friend and I are currently working on a strategy browser game that plays in another timeline on the planet Venus, which is still habitable.
There are a few maps that we need for the game, one of them is an overview map of one side of the planet. The map should have 3-4 continents, with one of them bigger than the others. There should be less land than on earth and the polar capes only have artistic value. Also, the continents should not be as close to one another as on earth, and there should be very few islands. An important feature that should be included are circles of latitude and circles of longitude, so that coordinates can be assign.
The second map is a close-up of one of the biggest continent. This map should be just a zoom-in of the Venus-map, with more details (but not too complicated, since the next zoom-in has to be fairly simple, to allow the use of squares for the territories assigned to players). A kind of grid would also be useful on this map. The grid should also align with the latitude and longitude circles, but should be denser. An idea for the style of the map is the one in the next picture, but without any names, or political boundaries.
The third map should come up when clicking on one of the squares in the continent map. A grid on this map will be crucial, since it will be used to delimit the territories assigned to the players. The grid should be integrated in the grid system on the continent map, so that when clicking on a square on the continent map, a 5x5 depiction of the third map should open. This map should be fairly simple (and made using repetitive features if necessary), but should allow the players to scroll around the continent, so it will have to be pretty big, although at no point should more than 25 squares (5x5) be visible.
(The third map is hard for me to imagine, so please be creative)
The style for the 3 maps should be consistent and as close to a real map as possible. I guess for the planet map this should not be a problem, but the same cant be said for the third map, thus, a middle way has to be found. Mountains (and other geographical elements) should be featured, but in small areas, so they dont have a big impact on the gameplay. There is no need for political boundaries.
Quality and size
Planet map: 1280 × 686
Continent map: 1280 × 686
Close-up map: ?
Time constrains
It would be nice to have the maps ready by January (not a hard deadline) since that is the time we would like to make our game public.
I would like reproduction rights for the maps. (If this dose not suffice for the stated situation, please let me know)
I do not know what would be a fair price for this kind of assignment, so please let me know, although you should keep in mind that we are both still studying and do not have a fix income yet.

We posted up some PS JailBreak videos from DynaModz yesterday, and today another Dutch site known as Consolewinkel.nl has shared a new PS JailBreak PS3 modchip video.
According to some of the captions in the video, Consolewinkel feels end-users should wait for a free version of the PS3 USB modchip as the PS JailBreak is overpriced.
To quote: "The Ps3 mounts the dvddrive with a backuped ISO file. Because of this the Ps3 still needs a disk to start the game.
Just want and get it for free ! We think Jailbreak software must be free just like the psp/wii and xbox software."
Those interested can check out the PS JailBreak video below courtesy of ombouwwinkel via YouTube!

Hello everyone! I'm currently running a campaign of the Pathfinder RPG in a homebrew setting and I was hoping to get a good map of the world from one of the excellent artists here! I've made a rough version of the map in MS Paint, but I'd love something a bit more stylistic. Some of the maps I like are this one, this one, and this one.
Here's the one I have so far.
I'd like to retain the rights to give this map to my players, but I'm not going to be publishing the one you make.
I can pay you a little bit of money, but I don't have a lot to pay. Maybe $10-$15.
If this can be done within a month or so, that'd be great. Thanks!

Singer Brad Paisley has come under fire from executives at his record label after leaking a preview of the songs from his new album.
The Celebrity hitmaker is set to release Moonshine in the Trunk on 26 August, but on Saturday, Paisley posted a video on Twitter.com with snippets from each track on the record.
He wrote, "I'm going rogue. The label doesn't know I'm doing this. Seriously. But I made a Moonshine Preview teaser. Don't tell."

— Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) July 26, 2014
Paisley then went on to chronicle his exchanges with record label bosses explaining they were removing the links to the songs faster than he could post them and also included email exchanges between himself and an executive.
He also explained bosses at Sony Music Nashville's Arista Records instructed him he was not allowed to post the snippets himself, so he enlisted his Rising Star TV co-host Ludacris to help him.
He wrote, "Again, I promised the label I wouldn't post the link myself. Me. Myself. I."
He continued, "I'd love to post another clip of music, but they're watching me like a hawk but I'll bet they're not watching @ludacris…"
Check this link out for my fellow expert's new album @bradpaisley Can't wait to see how these fit into the record! http://t.co/a4ZJWhWzFm

Earlier this year, Paisley filed a $10 million lawsuit against bosses at the label for breach of contract and unpaid royalties.

Discussion and debate with Damien O'Reilly.
Mick Moriarty is a barber in Blackpool in Cork . He has been flooded on numerous occasions and welcomes today's news that a levy on insurance policies could help offset the costs to flood victims.
Jim was victim of assault on a number of occasions and suffered post traumatic stress disorder as a result . He has since tunred things around and become a life coach and set up a group called positive people network to help people to meet up and share their experiences.
Dolores bought a puppy on the internet from someone she was led to believe was a legitimate breeder. the reality was very different and Dolores was left with a very sick animal.
Martin suffered a stroke in January of 2013. He talks to Damien about the experience.
Some listeners recieved an email giving them very bad medical news claiming to be from a research group in the UK. It turned out to be spam.

TAMPA (CNN) -- Two people were removed from the Republican National Convention Tuesday after they threw nuts at an African-American CNN camera operator and said, "This is how we feed animals."
PHOTOS | 2012 Republican National Convention
MORE | Christie, Ann Romney rally RNC
Multiple witnesses observed the exchange and RNC security and police immediately removed the two people from the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
The convention released a statement saying, "Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."
CNN also acknowledged the incident, saying, "CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment."
The convention began its first full session on Tuesday after being delayed a day by what was then Tropical Storm Isaac. It continues through Thursday when Mitt Romney is expected to accept the party's nomination as its presidential candidate.

I just tried the Network Edition on CentOS 4.2. It works like a champ, except for one oddity (which may or may not have anything to do with CentOS).
I go to this url:
After clicking "login", it ends up dropping the "/mail", and goes into an infinite redirect loop.
However, if I add a parameter to the end of the url (any parameter... I started with "?debug=1", but later tried "?foo=1", it doesn't chop off the end of the url, and ends up working fine.
Nothing shows up in /var/log/zimbra.log.
In /opt/zimbra/log, it shows many events similar to the following:
I'd give you any debugging output by passing in debug=1 in the url, but that's exactly what prevents the issue from occurring :-)Code:2005-11-16 15:10:57,612 DEBUG [http-80-Processor96] [ip=xxx.yyy.253.230;email@example.com;] SoapEngine - dispatch: doc NoOpRequest
However, using the live http headers plugin for Firefox, I did capture what's being sent to and from the server, and attached it to this post (I changed the domain name to "mydomain.com", but everything else is exactly the same). You can see the first two requests, which go to /zimbra/soap and /zimbra/auth. After that, it just keeps calling /zimbra/mail (with varying parameters), receiving a "302 Temporarily Moved" error each time.
From this same desktop, using the same browser, I can access another Zimbra server I have that's running the M2 OSS product. Both are running CentOS 4.2. Both were installed from scratch (not upgraded). The only difference I know of is that the one which is acting oddly is the Network version, the one running the OSS version is fine (but again, adding a parameter to the url "fixes" it).
If there's any additional output I can provide, just let me know.

If you live in Coral Springs, Tamarac, Parkland or parts of North Lauderdale, it is my honor to represent you on the Broward County Commission.
Broward County keeps moving forward and I hope that 2013 will continue on that path. Our unemployment numbers are below the State of Florida and national averages, in part because Broward County is putting people to work. We are expanding Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with a new runway and updated terminals. We are building a new County Courthouse, too. I'm proud to say I led the initiative on both of those projects and construction is underway on both.
The airport runway project will create more than 11,000 new jobs and add millions of dollars into our local economy. Best of all, it will increase the already booming tourism industry in Broward. For 2012, visitors to the Greater Fort Lauderdale area spent over $9 billion dollars – a record.
My overall goal on the County Commission is to make the quality of life for all Broward residents ideal for everyone, from young families to retirees. At the same time, we need to keep our property taxes in check. All of the projects I've mentioned that help our economy did not raise local property taxes one cent, an amazing feat. We were able to get through the tough times with our priorities and principles intact.
As times get a little better, Broward County is revisiting some of the tough cuts we had to make. Broward County Parks are now open nearly every day, reopening on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The "Park Closed" signs were replaced with "Growing Not Mowing" as the County allows more areas to return to their natural habitat. Broward's regional libraries are now open on Sundays and while the smaller libraries around the county are still closed two days each week, the larger libraries are now available every day.
After being elected this past November for another four year term, I plan to make a new Convention Center hotel one of my top priorities, increasing local tourism and putting even more local people back to work.
I have lived in Broward County nearly my entire life and want to see it grow and prosper. I went to school right here in Broward, graduating from Piper High School in Sunrise and NOVA Southeastern University Law School for my law degree. I am also a former State Representative, serving eight years in Tallahassee. My favorite position has been my work on the Broward County Commission. I love local government because local government impacts our lives on a daily basis, unlike the state or federal government. I hope you can get to know me better by meeting me at one of my many public events, reading my newsletters and watching my YouTube videos.
As always, I will do my best to make decisions that will help the people of District 3 and all residents of Broward. I appreciate any constructive and creative suggestions that you have as we move forward together. Please contact me with your questions, concerns, and requests at 954-357-7003, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am always available to you. If you call my office to speak with me, I will return your call. If you email me, I will respond.
Thank you again for your overwhelming support!

Move over, Privilege Denying Dude, there's a new satirical game in town and it's called @WhiteMalePrivilege.
Newish Twitter feed WhiteMalePrivilege is exactly what it sounds like: an ongoing ode to the benefits of white male privilege, which, yes, still exists (LOL). Benefits of this totally sweet social force include, but are not limited to: respect at work, media that's tailor made to your tastes, and not having to live under constant threat of sexual violence. When faced with these harsh facts, whoever is running this account didn't get mad, he or she (but probably she) got funny. Check it out.
