The Antique Race Boat Regatta - Hot Rods Of The WaterWritten by on November 27, 2006 Vintage Racing At The Antique Race Boat Regatta
There's a whole world of hot rodders out there who use their vehicles on a regular basis but never drive them on the street or at the track. They're vintage boat enthusiasts. You might not think of them as hot rodders, but hang around these guys for a weekend and see their enthusiasm for traditional craftsmanship, their love for performance, and their preference for cruising around in something old instead of something new, and you might start thinking of them as hot rodders after all.
Vintage boats are the fastest growing portion of the American Power Boat Association and, just like vintage drag racers, vintage boat racers haven't let rule changes and eliminated classes keep them from enjoying their restored old-time racers. The Antique Race Boat Regatta in Clayton, New York, on the St. Lawrence River, is one of many vintage powerboat events where antique boat enthusiasts can get their kicks. More than 100 owners and their boats participated in this year's Regatta, which, as always, included racing exhibits inside and outside of the Antique Boat Museum, engine clinics, auctions, awards, and (the real reason for being there) the chance to make flyby exhibition passes on a circular course in their early-style inboard race boats or to watch the action from the shore.
Just like drag cars, vintage race boats fall into several different categories. We had no favorite, but if we did, it might have been the big Gold Cup boats. The history of these beautiful mahogany and cherry powerboats goes back more than 100 years to the earliest monoplane boats. Their design evolved into stepped hulls, which helped them ride above the water instead of through it, and these were the grandfathers of hydroplanes. Gar Wood and Chris Smith were prominent builders of such boats in the early 20th century and some original Gar Wood and Chris Craft boats, as well as replicas, are still in the water.
Hydroplanes also put on an exciting show. Also called hydros, prop riders, or three-point boats (because they ride on the propeller with two side sponsons providing balance), these boats literally float above the water on a cushion of air. On later hydros, the drivers sits ahead of the engine, and the sponsons extend forward of the hull, resulting in the nickname "pickle-forks," but we liked nostalgic looks of the front-engine hydros with their big round shovel-nose bows. Perhaps the most revered hydroplane builder was Henry Lauterbach, a racing champion 50 years ago and the builder of many of the greatest prop riders. Many of the hydros in Clayton were Lauterbach creations. Sadly, this pioneer in the sport passed away just a few months before the event.
The Jersey Speed Skiffs, made of wood, fiberglass, or a combination of both, reminded us the most of Grandpa's old fishing boat. Sure enough, we found out that these boats trace their heritage to East Coast fishermen trying to outrun each other, and to the Prohibition-era rum runners trying to outrun a trip to jail. We had a ball watching these simple, lightweight boats bounce around on the water like fish flopping on the dock. The APBA still runs a Jersey Speed Skiff race class. Modern boats are equipped with full cages and NASCAR-style seats. We also loved the peppy little SK racing runabouts. These shallow-hull rear-engined flat bottoms date back to the '50s, and still do a good job of keeping spectators entertained.
The Antique Race Boat Regatta isn't a competition. There are no judges, no trophies, no winners, and no losers--just a bunch of enthusiasts getting in their boats and running them for fun.

Curt Brayer designed and built the 1965 Racing Runabout Dancing Bear, featuring a 392 Hemi fed by six Strombergs. It was an F Service record-holder and multi-year National Championship winner; Brayer never lost a race unless the boat broke down. The F Service class folded more than 30 years ago, but Curt brings the restored boat to vintage events like this one. He gave rides all weekend to help raise money for the museum.Philip Sharples designed his B-151 hydro, Golden Days, built by Mark Mason. Instead of running the big-block's exhaust system through the boat, Sharples decided to run these wild-looking pipes on the outside......At 86 years old, he is as active as ever in boating--and also got married the night before the Regatta.According to owner Geoff Magnuson from Lyman, ME, the original Arab IV capsized in Alexandria Bay in 1920. This 20ft replica was built by Rich Woodman and finished in 1992. Early Gold Cup racers would have had engines such as a V-12 Liberty aircraft engine. This is a 572ci Bill Mitchell Chevy big-block that makes 400 hp.John Gast used a Chevy 350 out of his Sportsman Modified oval-track race car when rebuilding this Jersey Speed Skiff. He named the boat Pa Pa's Bundle after a boat raced by his father in the '50s. John told us the boats are as much fun as auto racing, but less stressful, less money, and less destructive.Barracuda, owned by Tim Settle, is an early-style three-point "taildragger" built in 1946 by famous hydroplane builder Fred Wickens, and it held the Competition Class speed record of 68.648 mph in 1948. Tim's dad bought it in 1963, and it sat in a barn for decades until Tim put it back in the water three years ago. The original Clay Smith Merc Flathead is long gone; in its place is a '55 Chevy 265 with Corvette heads, a Weiand intake, and triple 97s.We loved the looks of this F 225 hydroplane named Ednandy III. Designed by W. Leveau and built by owner Gerald Davidson, the single-step hydroplane was a popular race winner on the Eastern Seaboard in the '30s.
Bill John at the Vintage Race Boat Shop in Wolfeboro, NH, built My Precious as a replica of a '50s-era Jersey Speed Skiff. The Bud Bender-designed skiff has a 'glass hull and a mahogany deck, with a Chevy 350 making 325 hp.The 22ft Gold Cup Wood Too is another replica of a Speedster originally created by Gar Wood. The original was built in 1937. Phillip Rubenstein's tribute features a 535hp Moroso big-block.Well-known hydroplane driver George "Buddy" Byers was in Clayton to donate the famous Chrysler Queen to the Antique Boat Museum. Legendary builder Henry Lauterbach built several Chrysler Queens starting in the '50s. It was the National Champion many times, and Byers held numerous records, including the fastest measured mile at 168 mph. The supercharged, injected Hemi makes 900 hp.The DeGlopper brothers are very active in the antique boat hobby, and run this pair of Jersey Speed Skiffs. Stormalong is a Bud Bender-built 16-footer, owned by Rich DeGlopper. Running a '66 283ci Chevy, it is set up today just as it was raced in the '80s. Behind him is his brother Bill in Flyin High, an historic, record-setting, race-winning Jersey Speed Skiff with a 350ci Chevy small-block, built by Dave Paraskevas.Boomerang is a reproduction of a 1941 Gold Cup racer built and designed by the famous builder George Crouch. David Coffin brought it to Clayton.RWS Marine Restoration in Connecticut restored Screamin Meemie IV, originally designed and built by Fred Wickens. This 19ft SK Flat Bottom raced in Florida up until the mid-'60s. Skip Weeks is the owner of the Chevy-powered boat.The oldest boat at the event was this original Chris Craft F Service runabout from 1931. Sleeper M-2 was the first boat in the class to run a big-block Ford--a 390ci FE that replaced the Buick that powered the boat in the '50s. After 36 years of inactivity, the boat was restored and is now owned by Bill Burgess, who drove it throughout its successful early years.Gar Wood was a leading builder and racer in the early part of the 20th Century and designed the original <Yar Gar> in the mid '40s. The bored and stroked 392ci Hemi in this replica by the Fish brothers is a departure from the original Gold Cup Speedster. Chris Johnson is the owner.
<Shockwave> is another hydro designed by the late Henry Lauterbach. This 5-liter E hydroplane was built by Alan Blide in 1972. The restoration on the 19-foot boat began in 1998 and was finished just a couple of years ago. Today it is owned by Bruce Tracey.A Hispano-Suiza engine powers this 28-foot Gold Cup boat, a replica of the original <Impshi> from 1925, a Horace Dodge racer designed by George Crouch. Owner Mark Mason and his passenger head out onto the St. Lawrence River.Sorry to show Bill Fisk's <Irishman> in trouble, but it's a nice angle of this sweet 7-Liter/Grand Prix Hydro. It was built in 1971, and Bill has owned it since 1998......The Lauterbach boat went 150 mph when it was in competition with a nitrous-breathing injected 500ci Chevy. Now it has a 650-horse 427 small-block.The 17-foot Jersey Speed Skiff <Sir Alter Ego> is a Chevy-powered replica of a boat that raced in the early '60s in New Jersey. It was designed by Pop Russell, built by Skip Gillam, and is owned by James Hassfeld.The Gold Cup replica <Wildcat>, owned by Vincent Bober gives a glimpse all the way back to the early '20s.In 1965 the year-old Grand Prix hydroplane <Canadiana> was a world record holder at 153.9 mph. Of the five boats on the <Canadiana> race team, only this one--owned and restored by Regatta chairman Marv Hart--and one other exist today. A 540ci Merlin engine with a 6-71 blower produces 950 horsepower.
...The original was built in 1937. Phillip Rubenstein's tribute features a 535-horsepower Moroso big-block.

This Veteran's Day will be mostly sunny and seasonable but winter came early twenty six years ago. If you were in town you remember the Veteran's Day Snow Storm of 1987. National Airport recorded eleven and a half inches with eleven inches at Dulles. The eleven and a half inch total at National is a daily snowfall record for the month - and the fact that it occurred during the month's first half makes it especially impressive!
Thunder snow occurred east of town and some of the suburbs in Prince Georges County received fourteen inches. It's not too often when the heaviest band of snow is east of town. It snowed all day as far south as Greensboro, North Carolina producing a covering on the grass. This snowstorm is commonly referred to as the "Veteran's Day Snowstorm."
That's just an easy way to remember name given to an early season "Nor'Easter." Making this snow especially tricky to deal with across the region was the fact that it occurred in the first half of November when some leaves were still on the trees and those leaves that had already fallen had not yet been cleared.
It does not take much wintry precipitation to wreak havoc across the DC Metro area, but taking a considerable amount of snow - as this storm brought - and adding on top of it falling leaves, that created exceptionally treacherous travel conditions. Getting snow in November is rare, but not unheard of. National and Dulles Airports both average around an inch of snow in a typical November - making the "Veteran's Day" storm totals one for the record books.

The up and coming fashion designer Michelle Salins has recently debuted her collection for Fall/Winter 2012 in America. What stands out about the Indian-born designer from others is her modern and feminine mix of both Indian and American cultures. Beginning her career in 2009, Salins was formerly an interior designer before establishing her career as a fashion designer. We were fortunate enough to interview the designer who talks about her inspiration, her American release, and her tips for Fall.
1) Your Fall/Winter 2012 collection is very sophisticated, yet very feminine and fun. How were you inspired for this collection?
For the Fall'12 collection, my inspiration has been the beautiful American woman! On my frequent trips these past two years, in an endeavor to research the American apparel market for my label's entry, I came across and met with many WONDERFUL American women. Their styles especially impressed me! From Ms. Valerie Steele (curator at the FIT museum) to a young stylist I met at NY Fashion Week last September. I noticed it; an effortless style with a touch of simplicity and sensuality! This is what I wanted to bring with my first collection in the United States. As you can see it is a very versatile collection and is targeted to a wide age group of American women who like to dress well, are confident and like to feel sensual.
2) Are you satisfied with how your collection turned out? Is there anything you would have done differently?
I was extremely happy with how the collection turned out! I love my luxe fabrics that I have specially woven for this collection and the hand embroidery gave it an unusual sophisticated element, which can be stored and later worn as vintage. (You will see this especially with the black georgette woven full-sleeved dress and the black and white dress). Being my first collection here, I only had 24 looks, and I wish I could have increased the number, but I guess, I am young in the market and I have plenty more to do and to look forward too!
3) I noticed that a few pieces are named after celebrities (MDNA, Rihanna, Adele). Did you design these particular pieces based on their sense of style?
Ha ha…well, absolutely!! Am so thrilled you asked me this!! My effort has paid off!! Well, I've grown up watching Madonna and I've been a huge fan and have been very influenced by her growth as a Pop diva! I absolutely think the dress named after her is a mix of her styles from then to now. And is one of my favorites from the collection!
Rihanna – A very dear gorgeous friend of mine…this is actually named with her in mind.
Adele – Absolutely…she is a very contemporary dresser and I always felt that a little more sparkle on her black dresses would give her that little extra bit!
4) You incorporate a lot of Indian culture into your collections, which makes it so versatile. How do you decide how much of your culture goes into your line?
Let's just say, I've done a lot of homework on the American apparel markets! I think I understand what American women look for in a garment. That insight helps me decide on my styles and patterns for each collection.
5) You had a previous career in interior design for a long time. What made you decide to transition into fashion design?
Absolutely, just one thing…my PASSION for dressing and having luxurious clothes with a perfect fit and finish. I am an extremely detailed person for finishes and neatness, which translates into my work.
6) How is this collection different from your previous collection?
The inspiration! My SS'12 collection was dedicated to music! It was a completely young and fun collection! I would love to share some images with you anytime! I had dresses embellished in crystal, beading and sequins in patterns of musical instruments, although the fabrics of course remained luxurious with silks and georgettes.
7) Can you tell our readers a little about where you are from?
I am from India, born to an industrialist Indian father and my homemaker mother is of Scottish descent. I currently live in the Southern part of India, in the very cosmopolitan area, Bangalore, which is otherwise known as the IT hub and a fashionistas paradise!
8) How do you think your collection stands out from other designers?
I think my fabrics immediately make a statement. I also believe my culture and mixing a bit of the Indian hand craftsmanship with a contemporary over all look and feel, gives my collection an extra edge and stands out.
9) What are some of your personal favorite pieces from your current collection?
The MDNA dress, the ANITA, KATHY and LISA dresses, the PARIS and NATASHA look, RIHANNA, the Chunsy pant (I've received so many compliments just wearing this trouser!)
10) What can we expect from you in 2013?
Lots of fun in the SS'2013 collection, I will be introducing a lot of jackets in luxury fabrics for Fall 2013!
11) What were your thoughts about releasing your line in the United States?
I was initially nervous but I am convinced my line has the potential in the US market. The reviews and feedback I have received has been very heart-warming and overwhelming. Today, I am completely confident of my entry here in US.
12) What are your current inspirations for your next collection?
I've been traveling a lot, which means I spend a lot of time on aircrafts and at airports! I've seen some fabulous aerial views of mountains, lush green patches in various shades, the sunset, the sunrise, lots and lots of inspiring blue shaded skies and fluffy clouds…the confident woman traveler and how she dresses…this is my inspiration for my Spring/Summer 2013 collection! She's off to the beach, off to a formal luncheon, a trip on the yacht or a cocktail evening… the 48 looks in my collection offer you a fabulous look for every occasion! Anytime! Anywhere!
13) Describe to us your personal style.
Simple and chic during the day, and classic sophistication with a hint of sensuality for the evening.
14) Do you have any tips for our readers for the Fall/Winter season?
Dress sexy, classy and classic! Sheath style dresses are the perfect dresses to own. When worn to the knee or just below, it gives a sleek and edgier look. Cinch your waist to show off your shape for a ladylike look. Black will always remain the season's favorite but dress it up this season by trying black in soft woven georgette or with a little embellishment for a modern look.
15) Who are your favorite designers? Why?
John Galliano – for his over the top styling!
Chanel – for the label's absolute classic and sensual style.
16) Where do you see yourself with your work in 5 years?
Surely as an established label in the United States and with an accessories line as well.
17) Have you done any pieces personally for any celebrities?
Yes, in India I have a close working relationship with many celebrities.
In the US, a few celebrities have worn my garments, although I have not specially designed outfits for them.
18) Who would you love to design a piece for (past or present)?
Madonna. ANYTIME! And Michelle Obama!
19) What are your top five must-have items (beauty, electronic, music, book, accessory, etc)?
• My Sony Waio – I must have it when I travel and by my bedside!
• My Apple iPhone 4S – it's like an extension of my hand!
• Music in my car
• My Neutrogena face wash
• Estee Lauder's night renewal crème.

Hi all,
Sorry if this question has been asked time & time again but I'm new to the forum and I'm not really technically minded when it comes to email clients!
I have recently received a new work laptop with Windows 7 and used to use Outlook Express for my personal email accounts using the IMAP connection type.
As Outlook Express doesn't exist within Windows 7, , I had checked out a few of the email clients that is available and decided that Zimbra is the most user friendly & straight forward client that I have found.
However, like all of the clients that I have tried I can't seem to delete any messages that I receive and I also have multiple copies of the messages appearing.
Can any one tell me where I'm going wrong?
Outlook Express was brilliant and I had no problems at all but this is driving me made as I have to keep connecting to each email account separately via webmail and removing the messages from there.
All I want is something as simple as Outlook Express where if a delete a message it's deleted and I only receive one copy of a message.

It's weird how reporting on fashion makes you forgot what season you're actually in. It took Katy Perry wearing head-to-toe Gucci on Elle to remind me that it's very much Spring 2011. And what's big for Spring 2011? Jewel tones, just like the ones on Perry. Rich, deep-saturation emeralds, rubies, amethysts and jades. Here's 15 jewel-toned frocks for… the season we're presently in. Prices range from $78 to $1920.

Read on to see how much this peach wedding in Colorado wine country cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
From the Bride:
I think you'll be surprised at what I ended up spending on my wedding... As a graphic designer I was able to trade my skills for goods & services for my wedding.
Photography- $3,000
Dress & Alterations- $2,000
Venue- free (my husband works at the beautiful church we got married in)
Flowers- $1,500
Decor- $500
Food- $350 (We purchased everything from a local grocery store and had willing friends & family ready to prep and man the grills. This gave us a very affordable way to feed our guests a delicious meal without paying for a caterer)
Photobooth- $500
Tablecloths, plates, napkins- $200
Cupcakes & small cake to cut- $100 (We had a talented friend who hooked us up :)
I was pleased with our end total. I wanted to have a beautiful wedding, but didn't want to pay the price that the wedding industry often demands. I found creative ways to include what I wanted and not break the bank.

More Black Friday ads have been leaked on the internet, and it turns out Macy's ad is similar to last year as far as door buster deals go.
BFADs.net has an unofficial copy of the Macy's ad on its website. Macy's is known for its Black Friday small kitchen appliance deals. This year they're offering some small appliances like slow cookers and toasters for $10. There is also a set of luggage for $50. One of the most popular Black Friday deals every year is the the Kitchen Aid Mixer. This year Macy's has the 4.5 quart model for $200 after rebate.
BFAds.net has posted what it says is a leaked version of Stein Mart's Black Friday Ad. It says Steinmart will open at 7am on Black Friday with a Polaroid 7 inch Tablet for $79.96, cashmere sweaters for $39.96 and women's wool turtleneck sweaters for $12.96. Quantities are limited.
All major toy stores have released Pre-Black Friday Toy Books. Most promise they will match competitor's prices with a few exceptions. We checked prices on few popular toys and found Toys R Us, Target and Walmart had prices within .10 of each on several major toys, such as LOL Elmo, Skylanders Giants, and Fisher Price Kitchen Surprises Kitchen.

Cass Freight Index takes a step back in October
November 01, 2010
Following two straight months of growth, the October edition of the Cass Information Systems Freight Index fell in October.
Even with the decline, the index, which measures the numbers of shipments and expenditures that are processed through Cass's account payable systems, has been up six of the last eight months.
October shipments at 1.058 were 5.2 percent lower than September's 1.116 and marked the sixth straight month shipments have been over the 1.0 mark, with May's 1.014 shipment mark being the first time shipments topped 1.0 since November 2008. October shipments were up 12.9 percent year-over-year.
October shipment expenditures at 1.976 were 2.7 percent less than September's 2.031 and were even with August's 1.976. Expenditures were up 23.2 percent compared to October 2009.
Many trucking industry executives and analysts consider the Cass Freight Index as an accurate barometer of freight volumes and market conditions, with Credit Suisse analyst Chris Ceraso stating in research notes that the Cass Freight Index sometimes leads the American Trucking Associations (ATA) tonnage index at turning points, which lends to the value of the Cass Freight Index.
The ATA recently reported that advance seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage index was up 1.7 percent in September, following a revised 2.8 percent decline in August and a 1.7 percent gain in July. The ATA also reported that its not seasonally-adjusted index (NSA), which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment, came in at 112.4 in September, which was below August's 113.5 by 0.9 percent. Compared to September 2009's 107.8 NSA, the September 2010 NSA is up 4.6 percent, a smaller annual increase than August's 7.7 percent.
As LM has reported, in the first half of 2010, many shippers, carriers and analysts said they were optimistic about the trucking market, especially when comparing it to 2009. But since then there have been various economic reports, including last week's federal government report that third quarter GDP inched up to 2.0 percent in the second quarter from 1.7 percent in the first quarter, and others which indicate the recovery is slowing down.
Some other signs of a slowing economy are also evident, with unemployment still high, retail sales and consumer confidence sluggish. These factors all have the potential to bring tonnage growth down in the coming months.
This view was supported by Michael A. Regan, President and CEO of TranzAct Technologies, a full service logistics firm offering freight payment, audit, logistics consulting, as well as decision support software, and frequent blogger for LM.
While Regan described TranzAct's business conditions as very strong despite the current economic environment, he said that the October Cass numbers are disconcerting on multiple levels.
"We have seen some things from a pricing perspective which tells us that the economy is very weak," said Regan. "If this is a recovery, then it is anemic at best. The reason why the Cass October shipment number is so alarming is because October and March are the two heaviest shipping months, and October should always be higher than September. The fact that it is down relative to September is cause for alarm. And what we are seeing from carriers on the truckload side more than LTL is an indication that carriers themselves are seeing weak demand."
What's more, freight moving in lanes carriers want and where their equipment is typically equates to good pricing, said Regan. But for what he called straggler—or orphan freight—that nobody wants, shippers pay a premium to have that freight moved and will pay more of a premium if it moves within service parameters that are outside the boundaries carriers are comfortable with.

After 18 months in the courts, Democrat Tracie Hunter has won a Hamilton County Juvenile Court judgeship, but a GOP challenge to the court's acceptance of Hunter's challenge is likely to follow. Republican John Williams led hunter by 23 votes on election night 2010, but Hunter filed a lawsuit over provisional ballots cast at incorrect polling stations that weren't counted. After a recount of 286 provisional ballots, Hunter moved ahead by 74 votes. Republican board of election members reportedly plan to argue that the 286 should not have been recounted.
The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte today offered an analysis of recently released census data that shows a steady growth of the regional Hispanic population and a growth of minority population in areas outside the city that were once largely white. Cincinnati's data suggests that the city and region are slightly different than the nation's overall trend, which in 2011 for the first time found a majority of the country's under 1-year-old population minority (50.4 percent), up from 49.5 percent in 2010.
Included in The Enquirer's story, which included a profile of a Mexican-American Florence family that moved to Northern Kentucky eight years ago from Los Angeles:
A decrease of 1.3 percentage points in Hamilton County's black population under 5 was countered by increases in the black population under 5 in each of the region's six other core counties: Butler, Clermont and Warren in Ohio and Boone, Campbell and Kenton in Kentucky.
Overall, the regional population of Hispanic children under 5 years rose from 7,583 in 2010 to 8,032 in 2011, a proportional increase of 0.4 percentage points to 6.1 percent.

Newly restored digital copies of 73-year-old maps detailing where U.S military veterans are buried throughout Hamilton County will be unveiled Wednesday.
The Hamilton County Recorder's Office recently received map books dating to 1939 that were thought to have been destroyed. Created by the Works Progress Administration, the map books register the burial location of every veteran in the county who had served dating back to the Revolutionary War.
The maps list details about area veterans who served in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I.
Eventually, the records were transferred to microfiche between the 1950s and '70s, and the map books were given to a local resident. The filmed copies began degrading over time and are of poor quality, causing problems for historians, genealogical researchers and others who tried to use them.
A member of the Ohio Genealogical Society ultimately acquired the original copies of the map books and presented them to the Recorder's Office in February. Since that time, the office has worked to transfer the images to a digital format and enhance their quality. All of the images now are available on the Recorder's Office website.
County Recorder Wayne Coates will unveil the newly restored records at 2 p.m. Wednesday. The event will be held in Room 205 of the County Administration Building, located at 138 E. Court St., downtown.
The Enquirer's sole remaining editorial writer is among the employees who will be departing the newspaper as part of a round of "early retirement" buyouts.
Executives accepted the buyout application submitted by Ray Cooklis, the newspaper's editorial page editor, multiple sources have confirmed. Cooklis assumed control of The Enquirer's Op/Ed pages in July 2009 when his predecessor, David Wells, was laid off.
Cooklis, who also is a classically trained pianist and previously served as a music critic, didn't respond to an email this morning seeking comment.
In recent months, the daily newspaper has been criticized in journalism circles and on some blogs for only publishing one original, locally produced editorial a week, so it's unclear what impact Cooklis' departure will have.
Sources say others who are leaving The Enquirer include Features Editor Dave Caudill; photographer Glenn Hartong; reporter Steve Kemme, who covers eastern Hamilton County; Copy Desk Chief Sue Lancaster; Bill Thompson, a sports copy editor and occasional music critic; and Copy Editor Tim Vondebrink.
CityBeat confirmed Tuesday that political columnist Howard Wilkinson and longtime photographer Michael Keating also were leaving the newspaper.
The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's corporate owner, announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. The Enquirer's goal is to eliminate 26 positions through the buyouts, sources said.
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
Of the departures announced so far, Cooklis' resignation could have the most immediate impact for readers.
Some progressive voices in Cincinnati dislike Cooklis because he is ardently right-wing in his opinions; they believe he too frequently blasted Democratic politicians, while turning a blind eye to excesses by their Republican counterparts and local corporations. Further, Cooklis lacked the courage to criticize some of the people and institutions that are among The Enquirer's many sacred cows, they added.
Still, Cooklis' departure is a bad omen for local news, with some media observers worried that it means The Enquirer has abandoned its First Amendment duty to hold powerful people accountable for their deeds.
Virginia-based Gannett also owns USA Today, more than 100 newspapers nationwide and 23 TV stations.
(**UPDATE: Glenn Hartong is not taking the buyout. Despite some sources at The Enquirer saying that he was, Hartong is only 51 years old and, thus, ineligible.)
Political columnist Howard Wilkinson and longtime photographer Michael Keating are among the 26 employees who are leaving The Enquirer as part of a buyout deal.
This week was the deadline for editors at the newspaper to decide whether to accept voluntary "early retirement" buyouts from employees. Although The Enquirer hasn't released any details, current and former co-workers of Wilkinson and Keating have begun discussing their departures and posting their well wishes on social media sites.
So far, CityBeat's emails sent this morning seeking comment haven't been returned.
Gregory Korte, an ex-City Hall reporter at The Enquirer who now works at USA Today, posted, "I grew up reading Howard Wilkinson's politics column in the Cincinnati Enquirer. It's one of the reasons I got into this business, and I was delighted to work and learn alongside him for so long. And Michael E. Keating? The best political photographer I've ever worked with — he could turn a podium shot into pure art. A real reporter's photographer. Now they're both taking a buyout and retiring. The Enquirer has done just fine without me, but I can't imagine it without these two."
Another former Enquirer reporter, Ben Fischer, posted, "Howard Wilkinson you're one of the all-time greats. And that goes for baseball fandom, general good guys AND political reporters. Everybody's going to miss your prose and insights this election season."
Wilkinson confirmed the news on Facebook, adding, "Thanks to one an all. It's been a great ride. But you haven't heard the last from me ... or Michael either... Michael and I were a team; and got to see and do some amazing things over the years. I will always be grateful for that."
The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's corporate owner, announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
Sources at The Enquirer say executives are looking to shed 26 employees at Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper. It is believed that 19 of the positions will come from the newsroom, while six people will be affected in the advertising department, and one person in the online/digital content department.
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
A survey of more than 1,000 technology experts, critics and students has revealed a split about how the Internet and other technological advances are affecting "Generation Y."
The Pew Research Center's survey, released today, found a majority of respondents believed the technology would create a generation of nimble decision-makers, while almost as many feared it would cause young people to become easily distracted and lack deep thinking skills.
Wait. What were we talking about?
The survey found 55 percent of respondents agreed with a statement that "in 2020 the brains of young people would be 'wired' differently from those over 35, with good results for finding answers quickly and without shortcomings in their mental processes."
But it also found 45 percent who agreed with a second statement "in 2020 young technology users would be easily distracted, would lack deep thinking skills and would thirst only for instant gratification."
"A number of the survey respondents argued that it is vital to reform education and emphasize digital literacy," a Pew summary stated. "A notable number expressed concerns that trends are leading to a future in which most people are shallow consumers of information, and some mentioned George Orwell's 1984 or expressed their fears of control by powerful interests in an age of entertaining distractions."
Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, are generally considered to be composed of people born between the late 1970s and the early '90s.
Pew's online survey questioned 1,021 people involved with technology and was conducted from Aug. 28 to Oct. 31, 2011, as part of Pew's ongoing project on the Internet and American life.
Respondents included industry insiders like Bruce Nordman, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Hal Varian, Google's top economist, along with university and high school students.
Never piss off the proletariat.
Upset about his low pay and dismal working conditions, a worker at one of Facebook's Third World contractors has leaked the social media site's ultra-secret document about what type of content it censors.
Amine Derkaoui, a 21-year-old Moroccan man, worked for an outsourcing firm last year that scanned Facebook members' pages for banned content. Given Facebook's profitability, Derkaoui became angry about its stinginess with workers.
As a result, Derkaoui gave a copy of Facebook's internal guidelines about what content it will delete to Gawker, a top Internet gossip site.
Some of the forbidden items are obvious like racial slurs, depictions of human or animal mutilation, photographs or cartoons of sexual activity, violent speech and content that organizes or promotes illegal activity.
But some of the other verboten items are more unusual, if not downright strange.
For example, naked "private parts" including female nipple bulges and butt cracks are forbidden, but male nipples are allowed. The list specifically mentions "mothers breastfeeding" as unacceptable.
Also, most depictions of bodily fluids are unacceptable, but not all. It lists "urine, feces, vomit, semen, pus and ear wax" as unacceptable (yes, ear wax). But, it helpfully notes, "cartoon feces, urine and spit are OK; real and cartoon snot is OK." Well, that's good to know.
Other items subject to deletion include cartoon nudity, images of internal organs, bones, muscles, tendons and "deep flesh wounds," along with "blatant (obvious) depiction of camel toes and moose knuckles." (Confession: I had to Google "moose knuckle" to know what that meant.)
Images of "crushed heads, limbs, etc. are OK," however, as long as "no insides are showing" and the person posting them doesn't express delight or gratification.
Moreover, all criticism of Ataturk, the founder of the nation of Turkey, along with images depicting the burning of Turkish flags are forbidden. It's believed this restriction is due to certain European laws that, if violated, could cause the site to be blocked in Turkey.
The 17-page manual includes a one-page "cheat sheet" so workers can quickly reference it when making decisions about what to delete.
Gawker said Derkaoui found his job through the outsourcing firm oDesk, which provides content moderation services for Facebook and Google. About 50 people across the globe — mostly in Turkey, the Philippines, Mexico and India — work to moderate Facebook content. They work from home in four-hour shifts and earn $1 per hour plus commissions.
"It's humiliating. They are just exploiting the Third World," Derkaoui told Gawker.

I'm setting up Zimbra@Home (as in home based service for friends and family)and using fetchmail to get messages from various pop and imap accounts. This seems to work with "is here" to deliver to the right mailbox. I'm trying to add hotmail using hotwayd (integrates into fetchmail as a proxy as far as I can gather) but it gives me socket=2 error. I guess this is something to do with the port usage and I just gave up.
Like a stupid newbie, I moved onto to gotmail that is a perl script for retreiving hotmail. It retreives the messages fine and puts them onto the default mbox. I then saw that it can pass the messages to procmail. All this is fine except I cannot figure out a way to deliver the messages to a specific mailbox in Zimbra. My mailbox in Zimbra is set-up as a non-local domain (existing email address).
I know this might be very stupid question, sorry if waisting time but this is clearly the first time I'm setting up a Linux mail server.
btw, best piece of Linux software I've seen so far, incredible easy to install and very feature rich. Brilliant !

Hi all,
maybe someone can help me out here. I had some issues while trying to upgrade to the latest 4.5 release.
I think there are 2 actually strange things:
1) Upgrading from 4.5.4_GA_763 to 4.5.11_GA_1751
Stopping zimbra services
Verifying /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf
Starting mysql
The service was starting here forever (1 day), so I needed to kill it at some point.
2) is this here:
Do you want to verify message store database integrity? [Y]
Verifying integrity of message store databases. This may take a while.
/opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect

After starting all came somehow up so I could at least access mails.
Thx for any help on this.

Whats a 16-year-old boy doing playing music and table tennis with adult psychiatric patients on a school day?

Its 5:00 AM on a Sunday in Brooklyn. Craig Gilner (played by Keir Gilchrist of United States of Tara) is bicycling up to the entrance of a mental health clinic; this bright 16-year-old is stressed out from the demands of being a teenager. Before his parents (Lauren Graham [of Parenthood] and Jim Gaffigan [of Away We Go) and younger sister are even awake, Craig checks himself into Argenon Hospital and is admitted by a psychiatrist. But the youth ward is temporarily closed so he finds himself stuck in the adult ward. One of the patients, Bobby (Zach Galifianakis of The Hangover), soon becomes both Craigs mentor and protege.

With a minimum five days stay imposed on him by the adult wards staff psychiatrist Dr. Eden Minerva (Academy Award nominee Viola Davis), Craig is sustained by friendships on both the inside and the outside as he learns more about life, love, and the pressures of growing up.

OCT's 'Les Miz' a must, if you can get tickets
Published: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 9:29 p.m.
Full disclosure: I was an OCT kid.
I acted in many Ocala Civic Theatre plays in the late 1970s and early '80s. After puberty left me with a voice that honked like a bear-chased goose, I moved backstage and had a darn good time rattling chains in "The Haunting of Hill House" at the old theater (now the Republican headquarters).
My mother was a longtime OCT volunteer, and my parents were active when the theater grew into its current location in the late 1980s. I am as talentless as a toadstool, yet there is a lot of theater blood in these veins.
That said, I also am the newspaper's entertainment editor, a position that demands objectivity and fair judgment on arts and entertainment coverage. I decide on coverage based on reader interest and community impact rather than emotions and friendships.
In other words, if OCT opened a big play on a Thursday but Elvis woke up and decided to perform his I'm-Not-So-Dead-After-All concert in Ocala that same night, I would give Elvis more publicity no matter how much fun I had in 1978's "Music Man."
News is news. Many OCT notables are longtime friends, yet if, say, OCT Executive Director Mary Britt robbed a liquor store, I absolutely would report that. More so if veteran OCT actor Chip Morris drove the getaway car in a gorilla suit.
Yet as entertainment editor, I also feel it is my duty to inform readers when something truly special is happening. And folks, I am here to tell you OCT's "Les Misérables" is truly special. The musical is a must, an astounding feat for a community theater that sets a new cultural bar for Ocala.
Frankly, I was never a fan of "Les Misérables." For my taste, the Broadway favorite is clogged with too much history and too few chain-rattling ghosts. Also, I am not a theater reviewer. I am more a schlub who watches "Duck Dynasty" marathons during Cheez-It binges.
Yet I can tell you this: OCT's "Les Misérables" is a gorgeous show, technically and vocally. The final moments moved me to tears. No joke.
It is OCT's most ambitious production to date. It took a lot to land it and even more to stage it.
Locals have been saturating Facebook with rave reviews, and it rivals Sheriff Chris Blair's budget for the town's biggest talker.
"Comparing it to the production we saw in Gainesville's Phillips Center for the Performing Arts or the one in New York City, this is the best," Ocalan Terry Morrissey noted in a letter to the editor published this week.
People are going bonkers over this play. After unsuccessfully trying to secure tickets last weekend, I finally attended Wednesday night, and I barely got a seat. That's right. It was packed on a Wednesday, which is, of course, "Duck Dynasty" night.
One thing I adore about my job is that I have the luxury of perspective. I grew up in Ocala and now cover it. Many people bemoan "Slocala," but I encourage them to take a step back and examine the city, its size and its cultural trappings. Art walks, galleries, symphonies, Grammy winners, concert bands, garage bands, even Dennis Rodman in foam.
The Insomniac Theatre just opened the very dark, Tony-kissed musical "Assassins," while the orchestra is closing in on a performing arts hall.
We've come a long way. "Les Misérables" shows us just how far.
And for the record, Mary Britt has never robbed a liquor store.
But Chip Morris in a gorilla suit? Very, very possible.

PlayStation 4 Announcement Set for May/June, Possibly Earlier - NewsCraig Snow, posted on 14 January 2013 / 3,396 Views
Recently it seems that we've been getting next-gen news and rumours on a daily basis. So far only Microsoft have given us major hints of an impending console announcement (see here). But now that's all changed. Sony Vice President Hiroshi Sakamoto has given a clear sign that we can expect an announcement from Sony this year. In an interview with El Mercurio On-Line he's reported to have said:
"It's still a big secret, but our Sony PlayStation friends are getting ready. I only can say that we're focused on the games related E3 event, booked for June. The announcement can take place there or even before, in May."
Not such a big secret anymore, eh? It looks like both Sony and Microsoft are set to announce their consoles just prior to E3, with full reveals at E3. It looks like we're set for the biggest and most exciting E3 to-date.

This success story is a long time in the making.
I first started using Zimbra in April of 2006. It was mainly just a test for a possible migration from Exchange, but stayed as a development project for over a year. During that time I received plenty of help on the forums and wiki pages while messing around with configurations and custom solutions my company would require if we did migrate to Zimbra. The first production server was put into service on Memorial Day weekend 2007. We were using the Open Source edition and the Zimbra Cold Backup script. That is when I ran into my first real problem.
Back in the those days the migration application for Exchange wasn't the best it could be but it mostly worked. The biggest problem was the way it processed attachments and calendars from Exchange. The attachment bug was fixed in the very next dot release of Zimbra, unfortunately its was too late for me. We powered through the problem by archiving all the mail in Exchange as .psts and retrieved the document/file for the user until it was no longer needed. Calendars however were a bigger headache as some appointments, thanks to Outlook, can have a million line breaks (\n) in it. In Outlook and Exchange this looked fine to the end-user. In Zimbra the appointment looked fine in the Webmail calendar but when using Lightning, as we switched to a combo of Outlook (IMAP) + Sunbird and Thunderbird + Lightning, this caused huge .ics files that would locked up systems when trying to view them. This took a lot of manual troubleshooting and hand editing to fix, but it was eventually fixed.
So we dealt with this scenario for about 4-5 months and then the CEO and Sales department insisted that they needed Outlook to work with all the bells and whistles. This was when we moved from the Open Source edition to the Network Edition. With this upgrade, which I believe took place alongside an upgrade to ZCS 4.5.x, my job as an administrator became much easier. Outlook 'worked', backups were easy and a ton of bugs had been fixed from 4.0 to 4.5. At this point things were so solid I rarely even checked the servers anymore.
Then I upgraded to I think 4.5.8 or 4.5.9, one of these had the Tomcat/Java High CPU bug in it. I had to keep a terminal constantly logged into the box running top and as soon as I felt a slow down in mail delivery I knew I would have to kill zmlogger or wait it out if the timing wasn't crucial. I dealt with this bug until we upgraded to 5.0.2. Once again things were solid and we didn't really run into any of the bugs that were being fixed during the point releases up to 5.0.9. Two weekends ago we upgraded to 5.0.9 and with it gained iPhone support and tons of features/tools/fixes that I didn't know was a problem, however my users appreciated the fix.
As of this writing we have 5 Zimbra servers deployed, 3 Production and 2 Development. All I can say is I will never go back to Exchange and the higher ups couldn't be happier with the migration more than a year later.

Featured Outbuilding Plan: Horse Barn with Farmhand Quarters – The Garage Plan Shop
While the farmhand may be a position traditionally overlooked, this featured barn plan includes amenities to make sure that the animals won't be the only ones with a place to relax. Living quarters boasting a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen, assures space for either a residing farmhand or perhaps simply a place for a welcome respite between the morning and afternoon chores. This outbuilding design also offers nine stalls to house animals including one with garage door access allowing for storage of a small tractor or truck with easy accessibility. A tack room allows for storage of animal supplies such as feed and medicine along with a sink and counter that can double as a workbench for the farmer who is looking to fix rather than to replace. The loft and attic on the second level offer additional storage for not only farm equipment and supplies but for those items in your house that may have been making it feel more like a barn than a home.
To view a larger range of styles and designs of outbuilding plans please browse our outbuilding collection.

Get an alert when new Alter Bridge dates are announced
After the break-up of Creed, three of its members (Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall) returned with their new band Alter Bridge. They are augmented by singer Myles Kennedy, whose awesome vocal ability blends perfectly with the instrumental talents of the rest of the group. Whilst keeping an open mind about music, the four band members undoubtedly play to their strengths, delivering rock songs that are exciting and melodic in equal measure.

Q&A with Jackie Fernandez
If you weren't on television news, what would you do for a living?
When I was younger I would've said magazine editor. It was always a dream of mine to work for Seventeen Magazine. I always appreciated the positive message they sent young girls about self acceptance and respect. Now, I could see myself doing something in the tech world. I would love to work for Google or Facebook. I like how they want a staff of people from all different realms of life, and the work environment they've created is just incredible. I mean, who doesn't like free food and paid nap time?
What's your favorite food?
Anything fried and full of sugar!
Where is your favorite place to visit?
Paris, France.
Do you have any pets?
I have one pug named Buckey. He makes the funniest noises and has the cutest face. You might not think this about a pug, but he's really fast. When I walk him, people often say, it looks like he's walking me!

I had a HR-20 replaced about 2 - 3 months ago. It became so slow I couldn't stand it (it's one that I used a lot). DTV said they couldn't just replace the unit and had to send someone out. The guy came out and replaced the box (he didn't even bother to test the HR-20). He had some kind of handheld device to "close out the work order" and "activate the receiver". He then said he couldn't close the ticket until he "verified" a different receiver and gave me the last 4 digits of the access card. I looked it up on my chart (I have 11 receivers) and it was in an area I preferred he didn't see so I said, no.
He then said he had to call in and get some kind of exemption. After about 10 minutes on the phone he asked me to talk to the lady on the other end... she asked me why I wouldn't let him verify the other receiver. I explained that I didn't want the guy in my house to start with and I'm not going to let him explore looking for another receiver. She started to say something... I hung up and told the guy to leave.
About 2 months ago I got a call from a DTV 'field supervisor' who was "in the area" and asked if he could stop by my house and talk to me. I said no, and my driveway (1/3 mile long) is clearly marked as private and no trespassing. He said that DTV may have to discontinue service if I didn't cooperate. I said, "fine, send me the return boxes, and don't contact me again" and hung up. That's been at least 2 months ago and I've received nothing other than my usual bill.
DTV likes to play all these games and I have no desire to play.
DirecTV makes the tech either run and test from a random pre-selected access card and get a pass number in order to close the work order. If he doesn't get that code, he can't close the job and can't get paid for his work. An agent just verifies that you don't want him in another room and waves it so he can close the job and get paid. If you would have tried to pull that on me your replacement box would have been coming back with me.
No need to be an unreasonable person when somebody is just trying to do their job and following rules.

I'm running Zimbra Desktop Beta 2 on a Mac OS X Leopard system, and can't seem to get it connected to my IMAP4 account over SSL.
If I configure it without SSL it works fine. But if I enable SSL (and set the port to 993), I get the following error:
"AUTHENTICATE PLAIN failed"
I've turned on IMAP logging, and it's clear that Zimbra is successfully connecting to the IMAP server before receiving this message.
The only unusual thing about my IMAP account is that its SSL cert doesn't match its address. That is, the cert was issued to my ISP, but I have to contact it at my own domain. Most mail clients simply give me a warning; to get around that warning I've created an etc/hosts entry, but using that address instead of the usual one doesn't seem to help the problem.
Any idea what's going on?
