Pension guru wins $550,000 bonus
County retirement system says investment firm does an excellent job.
The San Diego County pension system has approved paying $550,000 to its outside investment consultant — not as his annual salary, but as a bonus.
Lee Partridge of Houston was hired in 2009 as portfolio strategist, replacing an on-staff chief investment officer who made $209,000 a year. Partridge's consultancy is now paid more than $7 million a year, and the retirement board last week approved the bonus on a split vote after three tries.
Officials at the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association note that the money doesn't just pay Partridge, it also pays others at his Houston firm, Salient Partners. And they say it's well worth what they pay.
"SDCERA's investment performance during the 39-month contract discussed at the board meeting has been excellent," the agency said in a statement. "The portfolio generated 11.4 percent in investment returns, exceeding our 8 percent needed to fund the benefit."
The payment comes at a time of great sensitivity about public agency compensation, when the nation is still stumbling its way out of an economic downturn.
Thousands of San Diego city employees took a 6 percent pay cut in 2009 and have yet to have it restored. San Diego Mayor Bob Filner lambasted a tourism and convention official last month whose entire salary is $435,000 year. A Bay Area county administrator made statewide news, too, when it was revealed that she was paid $423,000 a year.
Pay for Partridge's stewardship is in an entirely different league, even by county administrator standards.
His firm's bonus alone is more than double the base salary of Brian White, his boss as the SDCERA CEO. The bonus alone is nearly 10 times what the average county employee earns and 22 times the median annual benefit paid to the retirees who depend on the fund Partridge oversees.
The bonus granted also exceeds the combined salaries of the chief investment officers of the Imperial County, San Diego and Los Angeles city pension funds — all of whom matched or exceeded Partridge's returns for San Diego County in 2012.
What do you think of the $550,000 bonus for the county pension fund's investment consultancy?
Too little 5% (15)
Too much 82% (259)
Just right 13% (42)
316 total votes.
Pension board members were obliged to pay a $500,000 bonus under Partridge's 2009 contract because the fund surpassed its performance goal at the end of 2012. The board had discretion to grant an additional $213,000, but stopped short of that, paying only $50,000 as a discretionary extra.
Pension board members Dan McAllister, Dianne Jacob and David Myers opposed the incentive payment on a 5-3 vote last week.
"We reward performance, there's no question about that," said McAllister, who serves on the pension board because he is the elected county treasurer. "But in this case, it is discretionary and I just can't support it."
The agency noted that Partridge's firm performed well during its first 39-month contract, which ended in December.
"The portfolio outperformed 97 percent of our public fund peers with assets over $1 billion while also incurring less risk than nearly 70 percent of them," the agency said.
The agency's data comes from a proprietary report that U-T Watchdog is unable to verify, using a 39-month window.
When the Watchdog surveyed pension systems that serve government employees in the region for calendar year 2012, Partridge's performance was tied for third out of eight systems. Imperial County, where the top investment official is paid $125,000 a year, had the top performance for 2012.
Partridge's firm has now been given a five-year contract that could pay $35 million or more depending on fluctuations in the $9 billion fund.
Paul Dorf is the managing director at Compensation Resources, a New Jersey firm that specializes in executive salaries and benefits.

In this image released by the 75th Training Command, a scene from Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base is shown during a simulation training exercise in Houston, Texas, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012. The exercise was part of an effort to demonstrate a system developed by the 75th to allow various military units to conduct certain types of scenario-based war game training over computer networks. Using the system, reserve component military units are able to train in leadership and mission management tasks with a high degree of realism, and a low overall cost.

To be honest, St. Clairsville's trip to Union Local this Friday looks like a classic mismatch on paper.
The Red Devils are 9-0, have clinched the top seed in the Division IV, Region 15 tournament along with the OVAC and Buckeye 8 titles, while the Jets are 1-8 and battling a myriad of injuries.
However, Red Devils coach Brett McLean won't allow his team to look ahead.
"Our biggest motivation is what's going to happen this week," McLean said. "We worry about the present now because we can't afford to get caught up worrying about things we can't control like Week 11. We're staying grounded and trying to finish the regular season on a good note."
While the Devils will return to the practice field Monday regardless of this weekend's outcome, the Jets will be turning their equipment in. Still Coach Mark Cisar wants to see his team maintain the level of fight and determination it's showed thus far.
"These kids have shown up every week and worked their butts off," Cisar said. "They've never once given up and that's been enjoyable and something we can certainly build on. We're just extremely young and we're not there yet, but we hope to be in the years down the road."
If St. Clairsville is able to take down the Jets, it'll cap its first undefeated season since 2007 when it ran the table and eventually advanced to the regional championship before bowing out to Williamsport Westfall.
"We're all focused on achieving that goal," McLean said. "We realize that 10-0 seasons can be few and far between. It's pretty crazy to think that we could have two in such a short period of time because it's so hard to accomplish. The kids set this as a goal and they've maintained their focus each week. Now, we're just looking to finish it off."
The Red Devils have one of the most explosive teams in the Ohio Valley with the ability to score from any spot on the field at anytime. That has worried all nine previous opposing coaches and Cisar is no different.
"Our main goal is to be competitive," Cisar said. "We don't this to get out of hand early. It could, but our main goal is to play hard, be competitive and give our best effort."
The Red Devils can get teams offensively in a bevy of ways, but junior Jaylon Brown has proven to be the ultimate weapon. The speedster has scored 30 touchdowns, including 23 on the ground. He's run 121 times for 1,115 yards.
Senior quarterback Matt Kinnick is putting together yet another brilliant campaign. He's passed for 1,684 yards and 22 touchdowns, while throwing two interceptions.
Senior Dan Monteroso leads the receiving corps with 35 receptions for 723 yards and 10 touchdowns. Classmate Jerrid Marhefka has 13 receptions for 337 yards and four scores and Brown has made 10 catches for 272 and three scores.
Another viable option in the passing and ground game is junior Michael Ferns, who ran for nearly 300 yards and has 136 yards receiving.
"St. Clairsville is extremely talented and athletic at the skill positions," Cisar said. "It's just speed, speed and more speed on both sides of the ball, actually."
The Jets' offense was dealt a blow last week when Gavin Porter was injured. According to Cisar, he won't play this week. Two Jets' linemen are also expected to miss the game and Eric Dunfee is questionable.
"We'll patch it up as best we can, show up and hope to compete a little bit," Cisar said. "It's going to be hard to do."
Trenton Tipton will most likely handle the quarterback duties, while Tater Blake will take on a bigger role in the ground game is Dunfee doesn't go. One real bright spot for the Jets this season has been the emergence of Kaleb McDiffit as the go-to-receiver. He's caught 29 balls for 437 yards and five touchdowns.
"They're young, but they're playing hard and doing the things that Coach Cisar and their staff has asked them to do," McLean said. "It's different than they've been because they're doing a lot more out of running sets. I'm not sure where they're at with injuries, but they're still coming out and fighting and clawing each week."
The Red Devils' defense is led by a host of players, including Luke Smith, Ferns, Colby Lindsay, Corey Ernest and Titus Lepic just to name a few.

Shirtless brigade member Ross Hutchins, who accompanied friend Andy Murray during Team Murray's off-season training intensive in Miami, was spotted with the World No.4 at the kids' clinic today.
The duo also paired up for some Doha doubles action later in the day but lost to German ballers Christopher Kas and Philipp Kohlschreiber 5-7, 4-6.
It's good to see Ross finally getting some attention, but I can't say I'm happy he'll have to keep his shirt on or that I'll have to start watching doubles just to catch a glimpse.
Oh, the things we do for tennis...

Is it just me or does Andy look like he's working a bit of a tan?! Very curious.ReplyDelete
And I have to say he looks much better without that scraggly and patchy facial hair. Ewww. Oh and Ross looks great, obvies :)
- johanneJanuary 5, 2009 at 12:22 PM
*waves back to natch*ReplyDelete
Hold on, ANDY was in the pic?!ReplyDelete
*goes back, checks*
Well, I'll be damned...
Yep, you're right. Andy's got some color...wouldn't call it a tan exactly. He looks much better without facial hair, but he's not much to look at, imo. Especially not standing next to Ross. I'm bugging TTC right now to start showing more Ross matches...erm, doubs.
Andy def has some color but his semi muffin top is bordering on a hairy situation - AGAIN!ReplyDelete
He's been a perpetrator then he fixed his situation and now it may be coming back. And then I'll have to write about it. Why do they do this to me???!!!!!
*calls therapist, asks for refund*
- johanneJanuary 5, 2009 at 1:12 PM
Well I personally LOVE the hairy situation posts, so a small part of me hopes he grows out that fro - just so you can gripe about it, LOL :)ReplyDelete
*giggles at muffin top remark*ReplyDelete
Well, dare I ask who this hot Ross is?I mean I first heard of him reading this delicious blog, so is he a professional tennis player or just hitting partner?Why isn't he playing singles, or is he?I mean, he would be BIG and great addition to the tour!And honestly, I really can not wait any longer on some matches to see!I mean it feels like some rehab!Give me some tennis, please and fast, and lotsa of it!I'm stuck here waiting on Aussie to start, cause Eurosport is my saviour, they bring the matches!And you Rich, honestly, thanks for the great blog, what will I do without it??Helps me get over this last week till Aussie!But when it finally starts I'm gonna be in heaven!Ummmmmm tennis 24/7 = HEAVEN!!!!Heat and sweaty ballers, blue sky and blue ground, three sets and 3 a.m. ...gosh......lovin' it!ReplyDelete
PS.Happy belated New Year to everyone!!:)))
johanne: I fear Andy will do it - because he's a boy and prob doesn't care about such things. I look it as his entertainment value, adding his tennis in too (oh and the "tan").ReplyDelete
Tessa: Hey there! Happy New Year!! Ross is a Brit doubs specialist...I've never seen him play singles but I'll sure watch more doubs if he plays.
Yes we all must be counting the days to more sweaty, sun drenched ball, eh, -ers. And the ladies too of course. But more the men. Fine, just the men. OK, just Rafa. And Ross. Nole too.
And Ancic!:)ReplyDelete
Can not wait till his first match after the BS he went trough last years!So no Ross in singles?Damet.If it's possible to convert just because to the singles, he should def. just do it!:)
Considering ladies game, eh, if it's no Masha there, there's just Serena drama, and it's not enough drama for me.Well, Ivanovic's the star, but I don't like her game, am always interesting in whatever match Venus and Serena are playing, love JJ show, and....well no Justine, no Masha, not pleased at all.But mans side, well that's full of potential!
For those of you asking about Ross, he used to play singles (mainly on the Futures tour IIRC) but wasn't having much success (or making much money I'd imagine!) and switched to doubles instead.ReplyDelete
Muz is hot here. Nuff said. He does look like he has a tan doesn't he? Very curious thing, that. He's growing up. *sniff*ReplyDelete

Incoming Episcopal Bishop of NH doesn't expect to attract media glare
What do you do when your act follows that of a rock star? If Robert Hirschfeld knows one thing, he knows not to imitate the last act.
Hirschfeld becomes the full-fledged 10th Episcopal Bishop for the state of New Hampshire on Saturday in an investiture ceremony that will include several Episcopal bishops, including his predecessor, outgoing Bishop Gene Robinson.
Robinson was elected as New Hampshire bishop 10 years ago, rocking the Episcopal world as the first openly gay Episcopal bishop. He became a national figure overnight and stayed in the spotlight for years. Even his retirement brought about a round of national media attention.
"I'm quieter; I'm an introvert. Gene (Robinson) is off-the-charts extrovert," said Hirschfeld. At other times during an hour-long interview this week, Hirschfeld described himself as contemplative.
He said he's more likely to write a prayer than issue a press release. And he won't endorse political candidates, something Robinson did last year when he endorsed Barack Obama for re-election.
But Hirschfeld said the Episcopal Church is no longer the staid, establishment church of decades past. It is now rooted in social-justice issues, and Hirschfeld said he's already attended a vigil in Concord to remember those whose death was preceded by homelessness. And he is slated to keep vigil with death penalty opponents.
Like Robinson, Hirschfeld said he supports the ordination of gay clergy and same-sex marriages.
"I think what's happened in New Hampshire, we've been shaken out of our comfort zone," he said. Part of that was Robinson's ordination, he said. But part is also the presence of the outcast, the poor, prisoners and spiritually bereft in the state. That is where humanity and Good meet, he said.
"This is a church that really wants to be authentic, authentically human," he said.
Hirschfeld, 52, leads a diocese that counts 47 parishes, nine seasonal chapels and two boarding schools under its direct control - White Mountain School and Holderness School. The most famous, St. Paul School, is not formally tied to the Diocese, although the Episcopal bishop holds the title of chaplain at the school.
The Diocese counted 14,582 active church members in 2010, up from 14,160 in 2007. That makes the New Hampshire Diocese one of the fastest growing in the country, according to episcopalchurch.org, the website of the church in the United States.
Hirschfeld was born in Minnesota and grew up in Connecticut. He graduated from Dartmouth College, and has worked at parishes in New Haven and Storrs, Conn., and Amherst, Mass.
He is married to Polly Ingraham, who currently teaches English at a charter school in Fitchburg, Mass. They have three children, two who are in college and the third an eighth grader. His brother, Michael Hirschfeld, is the rector of St. Paul School.
The investiture, the formal ceremony that places Hirschfeld in the bishop's seat, is scheduled for 11 a.m. at St. Paul Church , 21 Centre St. in Concord.
The Right Rev. Stephen Lane, Bishop of Maine, will preside at the service, and other participants will include Robinson, the Right Rev. Douglas Theuner, who preceded Robinson, and bishops from Massachusetts, Quebec, Connecticut and Hawaii.
After that, Hirschfeld said he's not sure what he will do as a bishop. He knows he won't do a good job stapled to his desk in Concord. And he knows from surveys that while most people are spiritual, many aren't connected to churches or religion.
He said he wants to develop the ministry of ordinary people.
He quoted Catholic Bishop Oscar Romero, who was killed by El Salvadoran death squads, who said that a person working in a market or driving a taxi can be ministers of God if they do their work with honesty and integrity.
"God's glory," Hirschfeld said, "is shown not in the ministry of the ordained but the baptized."

Eddie Motorsports Tri-Five Chevy Hood Hinges - Attention!Written by Brian Brennan on November 1, 2012 The cure for saggy hoods comes in the form of modern hinges
The Tri-Five Chevy is to the post-'48 crowd what the '32 Ford is to the pre-'49 crowd—an iconic car. The designs of both are timeless and their decades-long popularity has proven their staying power.
On a visit to Eddie Motorsports (Rancho Cucamonga, California) we had the opportunity to follow along as a '55 Chevy was getting a hood hinge makeover. All of us who have rumbled around under the hood of an old car of any year, make, and model understand fitting modern components can oftentimes be a chore—if not a downright pain in the backside.
Not so with the Eddie Motorsports Tri-Five Chevy hood hinges. This truly is an "after dinner" exercise. The billet hood hinges are CNC machined and designed for '55-56 (PN EMS149-30) and '57 (PN EMS149-31) models, available in either machined, polished, or colored finishes. The 6061-T6 billet aluminum utilizes sealed bearings for smooth and long-lasting operation. The "secret" to the hinges over stock springs are the stainless steel gas struts (accompanied by mounting hardware). Trunk hinges are also available.
In our efforts to update our '55 we visited Eddie Motorsports' offices and got to work with Luke Czaplinski who handled the swap in less than two hours. We would recommend when the time comes to remove and replace the hood, bribing one of your strong-arm hot rod buddies to come around will make hood R&R go that much simpler. In our particular application we found a firewall brace (that apparently isn't on all Tri-Fives produced) that needed a bit of grinding to clear the gas strut but that was accomplished in minutes. Another caveat on the '55 is the factory (OEM) battery location may (not always) require modification from its stock position.

The hinge holes are slotted, allowing for the required adjustment to obtain a well-fitting hood.We used tape to mark just how much we wanted to remove from the brace, thereby giving the strut plenty of space to operate.Using an air grinder we took off the required material from the firewall brace. It was just a matter of minutes and it was only on the driver side.

Old article but its being passed around by liberals. Of course some of what they are doing we should do but I laugh when libs say Finland is the "model." Yeah idiots, I bet you TOTALY could have gotten a teacher position when it is MUST that one most be on the top 10% of there class to even think about getting a job. Also, "In 2010, 6,600 applicants vied for 660 primary school training slots." Bleh, I would never want to enter into a profession with that stat., all ideology aside.
Thoughts? If anything we would have a lot less idiots as teachers. I am still not convinced that this is "the answer" for the U.S.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Stephen Curry will try to lead the Golden State Warriors
to a fifth straight win Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opener
of a season-long, seven-game road trip.
The Warriors will face seven teams from the east, including Orlando, Miami,
Atlanta, Washington, Milwaukee and Brooklyn. They are 7-9 away from Oracle
Arena this season and went 6-1 on a seven-game trek last December.
Golden State made it four straight wins overall with Friday's 115-86 victory
versus the Phoenix Suns behind Curry's third triple-double of his career and
second this season. He scored 14 points and set career-highs in rebounds (13)
and assists (16) in 34 minutes.
"Everything was shooting, other guys got it going. I was just trying to feed
the hot hand and that was pretty much the other four guys on the court. Credit
it to them for finishing out the plays," Curry said.
Klay Thompson added 21 points and David Lee finished with 17 points, seven
boards and five assists for the Warriors. Lee had posted 10 straight double-
doubles, averaging 21.6 points and 12.3 rebounds per game in that stretch.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are making news both on and off the court. They have
lost four in a row and six of the last seven games, and suspended center
Andrew Bynum indefinitely Saturday for conduct detrimental to the team.
The suspension was announced before a 103-100 loss to the Boston Celtics and
Bynum did not accompany the team to Beantown. Bynum allegedly had a flare up
with Cavs coach Mike Brown during practice and also sat out the fourth quarter
and both overtimes of Thursday's loss to Atlanta.
Cleveland took a huge gamble on Bynum this offseason after he missed the
entire 2012-13 campaign with Philadelphia because of knee issues. Bynum, who
adds size in the middle and takes up space, was gradually getting into form
with the Cavs and could be released by the team. The 26-year-old has averaged
8.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 24 games this season.
Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March and signed a two-year
deal worth close to $25 million with Cleveland in July. Only $6 million of
that is guaranteed though, as the Cavs can waive the seven-footer before Jan.
7 and relieve themselves of the remainder.
Cavs star Kyrie Irving commented on the issue.
"It's just a terrible situation internally with our team. It's just something
we have to get over."
Irving did all he could to lift Cleveland past the Celtics and scored 32
points on 13-of-22 shooting. Dion Waiters and Jarrett Jack scored 17 and 14
points, respectively, for the Cavs, who scored 34 of the 52 points in the
fourth quarter.
"The last couple of possessions down the floor I thought that Dion did a nice
job of turning the corner, playing pick and roll with Anthony Bennett, turning
the corner and getting to the rim," Brown said. "If he had the ability to do
that right away, go ahead and do that, attack the rim. He played well the last
few minutes."
Irving has scored 30 or more points five times in the last nine games and has
recorded 20 or more points in eight of the last 10 contests. Tristan Thompson
was held to seven points and grabbed seven rebounds, and was averaging 14.0
points and 10.3 rebounds in his previous 12 games.
Cleveland is 8-6 at Quicken Loans Arena this season and lost both meetings
with Golden State a season ago. The Warriors have won five straight in this
series and the last three games at the Q.

McCarthy has two challengers in 4th C.D.
(Page 4 of 5)
McCarthy: I would like to continue to pass legislation that improves our economy and creates jobs here on Long Island, including comprehensive tax reform that puts an emphasis on helping the middle class and stops our national debt from spiraling out of control; bills that support a longer-term reauthorization of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which has financed $65 million in export sales activity in the 4th Congressional District alone; and bills that support an all-of-the-above energy policy while also protecting our natural resources. I'd also like to pass legislation that helps students get more access to higher education, which will help our nation be competitive in a global economy, and of course I'd like to see a lot more done to reduce gun violence, which is a serious problem in our nation with over 30,000 Americans killed every year.

I'm starting this tread in attempts to compare Hosted Zimbra providers to the next one.
The service provider i'm currently with, SaasHost.net, is using an exchange solution on the latest version of 7.0. Im sure this is standard amongst most providers but my questions is,
Does your provider provide 24/7 Technical Support with a full Zimbra Knowledge base?
What about migration help? Does your provider aid you in migrating your domain over to their system and provide best practices to do so?
Im, rounding up this information, strictly for academic reason, to compare Zimbra hosted providers and prefer users or administrators that directly use it.
Make it a great day.

A bit of background... my CityGenerator app dynamically generates content based on a randomly seeded number ( a City ID or seed) and several backend xml files. The actual process is much more complex than that, but the important thing to glean is that more xml options== greater variation.
The current section I'm dealing with is World Generation- what details are important to know about a world. On one hand, it needs to be generally supportive of a fantasy campaign, but on the other it needs to allow for a great deal of variation on multiple levels.
I currently have two xml files: worlddata.xml and worldnames.xml.
Any input, feedback, or new suggestions would be welcome.

HAMPTON, Ga. -- Keeping homeowners in their homes and out of foreclosure is a focus of the 11Alive Help Desk.
It's a life-changing issue now faced by one in every 430 Georgia homeowners.
Our Help Desk asked our viewers to let us know if we could help you get action on speeding up your mortgage modification or refinance, or in simply getting banks to listen to you.
We got more than 150 emails.
One was a homeowner in Hampton.
Cindy Davis and her husband work full time jobs and multiple shifts just to keep up with their mortgage.
But no matter how hard they've worked, they find themselves on the verge of falling behind, and possibly losing their Hampton home.
Now time is everything.
"If (the mortgage modification) doesn't close and we don't make the payment in December, (Chase Bank) will not refinance because we will be behind and we will face foreclosure," Davis said. "We will lose the house, as plain and simple as that."
"It's taking too long," she added. "We can't afford to spend every cent we have waiting to get this mortgage to close."
Davis says Chase Bank first offered her an interest rate cut last August and now says they are short of staffers and cannot give her a closing date.
"We need to go ahead and get this done. 'We are going to call you just as soon as we get a closing date' and then you never hear from them," Davis said.
Frustrated at getting nowhere, Davis got in touch with our 11Alive Help Desk.
"I heard from you right away, which was so cool and you have worked wonders," she said.
We wasted no time in contacting Chase Bank right away, pressing for an immediate closing date.
Within a few days, Chase got back to us with a firm date set before the end of the month.
It will take the Davis family into December saving $300 a month, cutting their monthly payments to below $600, and also lowering their interest rate.
"That extra $300 a month is not going to put us on easy street, but it certainly is going to make things a lot easier than they have been," Davis said.
For her, it was a sigh of relief.
"Without you I don't think it ever would have happened. I really don't," Davis said.
If you are facing foreclosure and unable to modify or refinance your loan, the 11Alive Help Desk has assembled a resource page with ways you may be able to see help.

The hills look a little weird because of the bevel? that you used. They'd be a good start if they were dunes. Maybe try blurring the blockyness out of them or something like that.

If you're using Photoshop you can change the bevel profile from the diagonal line to something more rounded and that will clear up the hills looking like cut gems.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Oddly, I like the bevel. It's interesting looking.
Thanks everyone. I'm using Xara not PS so the bevel is vector not raster. I kinda like the edge because it gives a sense of mass, but it is a little harsh. Overall I am trying to develop a technique in Xara for large hills close-up i.e, for small maps. I figure using form of light and shadow are the best bet. If anyone has a better angle then shaodowing, please chime in. The Bevel is being used to alter the luminosity of objects below which is why the trees in the upper right quadrant on one side of the hill are highlighted and brighter then trees on the plain and then are shadowed on the other.
My ultimate goal is to work out a set of techniques for maps of different scales (village to universe) and different styles (realistic to archaic to playful) using Xara.
After creating a beveled hill in Xara, I always use a heavy dose of 'feather object' so the hill blends in with the background. Sometimes I convert the beveled hill to 'convert to editable shape', while I can't alter the bevel any longer, feathering works better, however it feathers both sides of the bevel so you'll need to be careful about revealing the layer beneath the hill between the bevel and the top of hill (I'll place a small extension of the hill top color to place beneath the hill to minimize that issue.) I usually apply such a heavy feather that the hill bevel is barely seen, more subtle and more realistic. Also consider giving your hill transparency level to blend in the background as well.

I actually really liked the hills on the first version, they had a very stylised, modern look to them. In fact, I really liked all the first image apart from the forests, which kinda looks like a texture just masked out with a feathered brush.

Agree with Ramah. Fix the forest and put on a hex overlay and it's an awesome wargame map.

Having used Revivogen a few years ago and got some success in form of maintenance. I decided to quit after using it for around 2 years if I can remember correctly. Looking back on this I believe I should have continued using it. But I believe I prematurely hopped onto the Minox bandwagon.
I am a diffuse thinner and hoping to be a good responder.
After reading some forum posts about the "New Formula", I decided to order a batch of Revivogen today which I should get tomorrow.
When I get my Revivogen delivered, I plan on re-jigging my hair programme to the following:
> Minox
> Dr. Lee's Regrowth Shampoo EOD
> Revita.Cor EOD
> MSM 5000mg
> Vitamin D3 10000mg
> Revivogen
> Folligen Spray (when it gets delivered)
I have kept my hair regime to a minimum to judge how well Revivogen performs. Since there has not been any fully documented progress on anyone using Revivogen I plan on taking pictures of my progress.
Please view my profile to see images of my baseline photo's: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/profiles/Th ... albums/408
I will try my best to post photo's every week. If not someone give me a kick!
Wish me luck!

Johnson said, "there can be nothing too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we have as little misery and as much happiness as possible."
I hope that is true, because amid all the awful and serious news in the world, I do have a small subject that frets and interests me. Everyone must promise not to laugh, or be disgusted.
Wonderful Pond's cold cream has lost its wonderful old scent, and now smells like just nothing at all. Chemicals, perhaps, or some kind of locker-room hygienic cream.
Really. That's what is on my mind, as all the micro-blogging platforms ask. What have they done to it? It used to have a fragrance that, now, I'm afraid I can't remember well enough to describe. It was very fresh, flowery but not fussy, a little powdery, fruity but not in the typical melon-and-cucumber style that any cosmetics company can do well and then call pear or kiwi anyway. It was unique.
And now it's gone. I'm sure they have changed the formula, because ever since I noticed the loss well over a year ago, I have continued to buy the product in small sizes and large, in grocery stores and drugstores, reasoning that perhaps that store got a bad shipment, or this one's supply is old and faded. Alas, each jar is now the same. Even my family agree, when I thrust the jar under their noses and demand their opinion that I'm not crazy, that classic Pond's doesn't smell as strong as it once did. The problem has to lie in the factory, and in the decisions made by the nice chemists there. It's become scentless and dull, and even the creamy feel of the stuff is different. I used to be able to catch up a dollop of it on a fingertip, and it sat there white, cool, plump, and perfect, crowned with a little gay curl on top. Now it is thin, greasy, and tacky. I plunge my fingertip into the jar and I pull away nothing. I have to dig into it with some fierceness, and do my best with a clump instead of a dollop.
To prepare asparagus, bend the stalks head to stem; the stem will break at exactly the place where the fibers stop being edible. Peel -- this is a must or you will lose half the delicacy of the vegetable -- with a potato peeler or a parer from the blossom end down, starting just under the close crop of leaves. Assemble the stalks in bundles of small, medium, or large asparagus.So the disappointing photographs betray the cooks' ignorance or disregard of Madeleine's rules by repeatedly showing us (1) long, long, unsnapped spears, all (2) fully green with not a peeled, fresh and delicate white surface in sight. Perhaps it's understandable considering A. officinalis' expense. Perhaps even people who might know her instructions balk at the seeming wastefulness they imply. But what of the wastefulness of tough, strong, often crisply undercooked, therefore uneaten or certainly not much enjoyed asparagus?

Yes, we all wear them. And sometimes we even like to flaunt them. But come warm temps? No one likes to see a bra peeking out (case in point) from behind spring's skimpier dresses.
So, behold, a guide to the season's most skin-baring attire – and the bras, tape, and cups you need to keep the girls effortlessly in check.
Wearing: Backless
Try: A low-back bra that wraps around your waist. If you don't want to invest in one, peep these DIY tips and transform your everyday bra into one of the backless variety.
Wearing: Strapless
Try: A perfect-fitting strapless bra. Tip: Since strapless bras lack shoulder support, the key is to go one cup size smaller. Or, if the dress is structured, feel free to go braless if you can – just snag a pair of pasties to keep chill-induced awkwardness at bay.
Wearing: White
Try: A nude T-shirt bra or tank. Contrary to popular belief, white under white (or sheer) is never okay. Also – avoid most lacy bras. The pattern still shows.
Wearing: Cutouts
Try: Silicone adhesive bra cups – they keep you perky and covered, and come in a variety of sizes. Fashion tape is a must, too, to avoid the errant slip-up.

We are using VMWare Horizon for SSO and with Zimbra I have tested both SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 which work. The users sign into horizon which authenticates with our ldap and directs them to our third-party application that provides links to Zimbra and several other applications.
We would like to provide direct access to zimlets, contacts, tasks, etc which is usually done with zcs.company.com/?app={app-name} but I am having problems when going through service/extension/tricipher/samlreceiver.
Usually I just set the destinationURL or relayState for the applications url on our cloud but for zimbra it forces the redirect to the main page (zcs.company.com). Is this something controlled via samlreceiver or an issue on my end?
Thank you

Hi there,
I do have a strange webmail relay problem here.
I am quite aware of the fact that this is a common problem around the forums. The thing is, my problem is a little different.
When I check the setting with:
zmprov gs mail.mypeak.net | grep zimbraMtaMyNetworks
I get the right IP Adresses. But somehow postfix does not get the changes.
postconf mynetworks does still list the wrong IPs.
I tried moving the main.cf to have it recreated which did not work. It just did not created. I did run zmfixperms in case some permissions might haven been wrong which didn't fix the problem either.
Any ideas why postfix does not recognize the changes I made to the zimbra config?

Dirt jumpers, freeriders, BMXers, skaters, you name it. If it's a Summer-X-worthy sport, you'll spot the Giro Flak Helmet somewhere in the mix. The Flak comes in a variety of steezy color and graphic options, wrapped up in a tough, low-profile ABS shell that can take the beating you put on your gear.

Great Helmet
No complaints with this helmet! The super customizable fit makes it a versatile piece. I like to wear a flatbrim under and by taking out the pads the fit is perfect. When I don't want the brim, throw the pads back in for a great fit as well! The vents are perfectly placed to get the most airflow in, so girls, grab this helmet if you are worried about helmet hair! All in all this is a great helmet if you want to be safe and not look like a dork. So grab, wear it, and enjoy the ride!

All in all this is a great helmet if you want to be safe and not look like a dork. So grab, wear it, and enjoy the ride!
Why not get every color?
This is the only helmet that I will wear besides the Remedy full face. Its a perfect fit every time I can customize the pads on the inside to give me the padding I like in the front and the slim pads in the back. You can find it in any color to match your bike or your favorite jerseys.
Good helmet
I settled on this helmet after buying a Pro Tec and being unhappy with the way it fit my head. The way a helmet fits is subjective to the individual, but for me the Giro Flak fits great. Much more comfortable and secure. Aside from fit, it looks snazzy and seems to vent well considering the style of helmet. If I broke it tomorrow (and lived to tell the tale) I'd buy the same helmet again.
looks great
The helmet is a snug and styrdy fit and it was just the right choice for my son's Christmas gift. Huck n' Roll is a efficient and competant company, I'd shop here again!
Kept my brains on the inside
Sure, it's not the lightest helmet in the world, but it breathes fairly well for this style of helmet and looks decent enough.
Also, it's tough as hell. It's a real skate style helmet, so the plastic shell on the helmet keeps it usable if it's dropped or if you're involved in a minor spill. (Skate style-d helmets that are just a foam shell will crack and break fairly easily, just like road helmets, making them useless after one impact) Sure, it adds some extra weight, but you aren't likely to have to buy a new helmet anytime soon.
Most importantly, if you're in a serious accident, it'll keep your brains on the right side of your skull. I got door-ed going pretty much full tilt (in a bike lane!) a few weeks back and went down HARD. The Flak did it's job well, and it has the busted foam and skid marks to show it. I'm 100% it kept me out of the ER that night. Outside of some roadrash and a busted up leg I came out of the accident ok, especially relative to how hard I hit the pavement.
A buddy of mine had a similar accident and damn near ripped his ear off while sliding on the pavement. With the Flak watching out for me my face was... Well, no worse than it was before I went down.
I'm buying a new one to replace it's fallen brother, that's about the best recommendation I can give.
Giro Bike Helmet
The shipping of the helmet was really fast. I received it in 10 days (I'm overseas). The helmet fits nicely & I received extra padding as well. If you own another Giro helmet than the sizes are appropriate (I also have a snowboarding helmet). The helmet straps are a bit long...but that is my only compliant w/ the helmet. Overall good product & would suggest to friends.
great fit..
This was my first bike helmet, so I don't have much to compare it to. But, its very comfortable and extremely light-weight. Couldn't be happier...
I bought the white one, but just wanted to note that the rust colored one is actually a fairly bright red.
giro flak helment
i got this helment one month ago and its great, very good fit and air flow, the only thing is its big, i would get a smaller size then u normally would cause i had to sent back mine cause it was to big. i have a big melon and the large size was way to big. but other than that it is very nice and looks better than a road bike lid i think, if ur thinking of getting it do it
Take no flak with the flak
I dig this helmet. Have had it since fall of '08 and although haven't had the misfortune of testing it's durability, I think it will do just fine. I mountain bike with a mix of trail and road. I like this style over "The Navigator" space ship looking helmets. Vents are adequate. I have a size 7 3/8 to 7 1/2 inch head(as far as fitted hats are concerned) and I bought the Large. After mixing and matching the available foam padding inserts I was able to find a nice, comfy fit. Overall, this is one pretty cool helmet.
Really cool. 3 padding sizes for front and back so it fits my small head and my boyfriend's bigger head simply by changing the padding. People have been banging on my head and it really is painless =)
tough - sick design
sweet design, not bulky at all! great protection and with two sets of padding, you can really customize the fit.
Tougher than your head
This is your basic tough-as-you-want dirt jump helmet. It stands up to repeated crashes and the occasional drop kick pretty well. The liner came out of mine after a punting session, but I glued it back in there and it's been fine since them. I do wish it was a bit more vented, but it does OK even for trail riding.
I would like to see the Padding

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Three hundred fifty economists are giving the President a piece of their mind. They've signed a letter urging the White House to nominate Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Current Fed boss Ben Bernanke is done at the end of January.
The letter to the President suggests that Yellin is the most qualified candidate to lead the central bank. President Obama is said to be leaning toward his former economic adviser, Larry Summers, a more controversial choice.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- The Ernst & Young organization will soon open a global IT center in Alpharetta, according to Governor Nathan Deal.
The new center will bring 400 new technology jobs, and an $8.5 million investment, as reported by a spokesperson for Deal's office.
"Georgia's talent, affordability and willingness to embrace and support cutting-edge innovation have drawn quite a wave of technology-focused investment lately," Deal said. "When a company with the highly recognizable brand that EY carries chooses Georgia for its expansion, it's a powerful statement."
In opening the new IT center, to be located on Lakewood Parkway in Sanctuary Park, renovations and job additions will take place over the next five years.
Ernst & Young will hire project managers, business analysts, software architects, software developers, system analysts, executives, managers and support staff.
Deal's spokesperson said information from the Technology Association of Georgia refers to software and IT as the largest sector of the state's workforce and economy. Atlanta, according to the information, is among the top ten cities for IT, tech and start-ups.
"We are excited to welcome EY to Alpharetta, the Technology City of the South," David Belle Isle, mayor of Alpharetta said. "This decision serves as a continuing reminder that more and more global companies look to Alpharetta as the No. 1 city to locate their technology efforts."
The expansion project for Ernst & Young is being done with help from the Georgia Department of Economic Development, City of Alpharetta, the Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Development Authority of Fulton County.
"EY's expansion in Fulton County underlines a vested interest in the metro region and reinforces the company's long-term strategic position in our economic region," Maceo Rogers, president of the Development Authority of Fulton County said. "The Atlanta region offers a strong technology workforce with high-tech firms that have solidified Fulton County's sustained economic growth, and this expansion will certainly add to that success."

Silver accents highlight the slick black fiberglass exterior, while a rich interior layout makes for easy traveling whether it's across country or just up the road.Considering how many '34 Cadillac four-door sedans are around, Tommy Baxter's fine example is desirable to be sure. Powered by a '95 Northstar V-8 and riding on Heidts IFS and a triangulated 9-inch Ford rear, this car's rich interior delivers a ride like few others with amenities galore with a level of fit and finish to be admired.
Mild in its execution and restored to its original condition, Jim and Marge Adams' Sassy '52 Chevy Styleline Custom Deluxe out of Rock Springs, GA was nice. Powered by a 235-inline six powering through a three-speed manual transmission, the bodywork and Victory Red paint display Junior Queen's considerable skills.Another creation that had people's attention was Royce Lippard's '54 Mercury full custom from nearby Collegedale, TN. Accented with gold leaf flames, extensive body mods join beneath a pearl green and white two-tone leading to a nostalgic tuck and rolled interior that completes this picture perfectly.Another fine pup was Jack and Kiriko Sorich's Radiant Red '56 Ford F-100 from Louisville, KY.

Power for this Ruby Red Slipper and black two-tone ride comes from an injected 351 Windsor, while Heidts coilover suspension plants Billet Specialty rims.
Named Barbara Ann, Jeff and Pam Rearden's '57 Chevy post is a tribute to the many people who helped in bringing this beauty together. Running a 350/350 combination, Fatman Fabrication front suspension and a 9-inch Ford rear on CCP leaf springs, and Boyd's rims, this two-toned classic is both subtle and rich.Locals Gene and Michale Marshall brought their '32 Ford 5-window coupe to the show, displaying nice exterior detail cloaked in flawless black DuPont paint, and leather laid out by Fully Loaded Interiors. A Pete & Jakes chassis from Honest Charley Speed Shop makes the most of a 327 adjoining a Turbo 350.While it was difficult to see past the trophies concealing the beautiful detail of Kenneth Nix's '56 Ford Crown Victoria, people still lined up to see this it. Of the 603 examples produced with glass tops few are still in use. This Peacock Blue and Colonial White example recalls another Nix bought new in Anchorage.

I think most tattoos that are actually of something, i.e. a person or a piece of text look awful, because it just goes waaay too far in the obsession stakes, I like a lot of things but i'd never get them permanently engraved on my body. Besides that it's a waste of money.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

TBH I don't even know what Twilight is, I think i've heard it mentioned somewhere... Oh, here, in this topic. Yes, it looks very faggy anyway.

I have a tattoo of wolves howling at the moon and jacking off on each other.
I tell all the teenage girls it is a Twilight tattoo and then they show me their developing breasts.
