Limitation period in policy trumps Limitation Act
Appeal by the insured from the dismissal of his action on the basis that the action was brought outside the one-year limitation period in the Insurance Act. The British Columbia Court of Appeal held that the trial judge erred in law in failing to apply the two-year limitation period contained in the policy and further that the policy limitation gave rise to a rolling limitation period.
Sander v. Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada, [2011] B.C.J. No. 5, January 6, 2011, British Columbia Court of Appeal, L.S.G. Finch C.J.B.C., M.E. Saunders and K.E. Neilson JJ.A.
The appellant insured, a former dentist, received disability benefits from the respondent insurer under a group insurance policy after being diagnosed with cataracts. The insurer advised the insured in June 2001 that no further benefits would be made because the insured had refused to undergo cataract surgery as was required under the policy. The insurer provided the insured with a notice of denial by letter dated June 29, 2001. The insured underwent cataract surgery in 2003 but maintained that he was still unable to practice dentistry. He then commenced an action for disability benefits.
At issue was whether the insured's action was barred for being commenced outside the limitation period. At summary trial, the Supreme Court of British Columbia held that the action commenced by the insured was barred by s.22(1) of the Insurance Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 266 (the "Act") which mandates that, "…every action on a contract [of insurance] must be commenced within one year after the furnishing of a reasonably sufficient proof of loss or claim under the contract…". The summary trial judge held that the one-year limitation period was triggered when the respondent insurer provided the insured with a notice of denial by letter dated June 29, 2001. The limitation period for issuing a Writ of Summons therefore expired and the Writ of Summons was issued out of time.
The insurance policy held by the insured stated that:
"No action or proceeding against the Company for recovery of a claim under this policy shall be commenced more than two years after the date the insurance money became payable or would have become payable if it had been a valid claim."
The Court held that the limitation period in Part 2 of the Act guarantees a minimum level of protection. However, the Court held further that the insurer must be held to the terms of the contract it provided where they are more favourable to its insured than the provisions of the Act. The Court held that insurers are only prohibited from providing a less generous limitation period than that which is prescribed in Part 2. The Court held that nothing in s.3(a) prevents an insurer from stipulating for a limitation period greater than in the Act itself. As such, the Court held that the two-year limitation period as set out in the insurance policy prevailed over that set out in the Act.
The insured argued further that the wording in the policy limitation has been interpreted in cases involving continuous entitlement to benefits as creating a "rolling" limitation period where that cause of action accrues at each successive interval at which benefit instalments are to be paid. In other words, so long as the insured continues to be entitled to benefit payments as a result of a continuous disability, the cause of action against the insurer is renewed every time a benefit becomes payable.
The Court held that upon review of the insurance policy, it was clear that the insured had a right to monthly benefit payments so long as he met the conditions of the insurance policy with regard to total disability. The risk insured against was continuing total disability and in that sense, insurance money was also payable on a continuing basis after the prescribed elimination period. As such, the Court concluded that each benefit payment gave rise to its own limitation period and the insured had a continuing claim through the period of disability. That claim was not extinguished by the failure to sue within two years of the commencement of that continuum. The insured's claim accrued monthly and therefore the limitation must be viewed as commencing a new on each successive entitlement.
The appeal was allowed and the order of the summary trial judge set aside. The action was remitted to trial for determination of whether the insured was entitled to benefits under the insurance policy for the period of two years preceding the date on which he issued the Writ of Summons and anytime thereafter.

I want to put a catchall filter at the end of my list that automatically carbons anything that made it through out to my Blackberry -- until I get a better answer to the 'getting mail on your Blackberry' issue; my 7100i won't even run the generic zme client -- but I can't find a way to do it.
I know how to write the rule, but there's no TRUE condition on the pulldown menu in the top half of the rule-builder.
Should I say "From" "Contains" "@"? That looks like it would work, but it seems inelegant.
Should I feech an "Always" choice for that pulldown menu?
Alternatively, I see that, in Preferences->Mail->Receiving, there's a way to autocarbon everything, and while I assume that that it's post-AV, post-spam, I am not clear on whether it's post-filtering or not; the documentation doesn't seem to say. A quick test suggests that it carbons *first*, which means it won't help me.
So, what's the recommended solution to this?
Self-thread-jack: who does filtering? The webclient? Or the LMAP delivery server? IE: if you set up filters using the webclient, will IMAP see the messages delivered there if you never again fire up the webclient?

As a simple - and highly effective - spam control measure, I've been creating mail aliases just about every time somebody asks me for my address. E.g., if Joe at Joe's Hardware wants my address, I tell'm, "Sure! email@example.com!" And then, if I get spam, I can do two things: 1) turn the alias off and 2) go back to the source and call them out for selling / trading / whatever my address.
I've been doing this for several years; I have 266 aliases at this time.
When I look at my user account in the Zimbra admin control panel, and click the aliases tab, it takes a long time to load 266 aliases - and when it's done, all 266 display on one page. Whew!
That list should be segmented - it should be split into maybe 25-count chunks, like e-mail headers, and then displayed a chunck at a time.
My 2 cents.

1955 Chevy Gasser - Survivor RevivedWritten by on November 1, 2012 Built by Blair's Speed Shop in the '60s, raced at Lions, then (almost) forgotten
We're celebrating Gassers this month. The good news is that the interest in these grassroots-level drag cars is still strong and rodders are continuing to build them, whether it's for competing in nostalgia races or for driving on the street. The bad news is that many, maybe most, of the cars that raced in Gas classes back in the '50s, '60s, and early '70s are gone. The '55 Chevy you're looking at is saturated with history, but might have suffered that same fate except for the interest and attention of Bill Fowler from Solo Speed Shop.
The Chevy's history as a trophy-winning Gasser goes back to the mid-'60s and ends abruptly in December 1972. It had been originally built at the famous Blair's Speed Shop. The late-Don Blair opened the shop (which is still in business) in Pasadena, California, in 1946. That was still a few years before drag racing as we know it even existed, but Blair was well known by the racers at the dry lakes. By the time drag racing emerged and exploded in popularity, Blair's Speed Shop's reputation was well established. By the time of the Gasser Wars, it was one of the most prominent shops building cars—particularly '55-57 Chevys—for the class.
This '55, however, was built for the street. The owner was a teenager with loads of money who wanted to drive a big-block-powered, tube-axle '55. After the car was stolen twice in quick succession, he decided to sell it.
Don Nunes was drag racing a '57 Chevy at legendary Lions Drag Strip in Los Angeles when he met the street Gasser's young owner and decided to buy the kid's car, minus the drivetrain. Nunes transplanted a Hilborn-injected 301ci small-block into the '55 and raced it successfully in various Gas classes at Lions and several other Southern California tracks. When Lions closed on Dec. 2, 1972, the '55 was there. Then that was it. Nunes parked the Gasser in his yard and didn't race it again.
Bill Fowler was looking for a '55 Chevy Gasser to build when he learned about Don Nunes and the Blair's Speed Shop–built car that had raced at Lions. Nunes was planning on moving out of state and the old Gasser hadn't moved in almost 30 years. Even so, it took more than a year of phone conversations before the racer agreed to sell his car.
After all those decades of hibernation, rust, rats, and sap had camouflaged almost all traces of the Chevy's history and glory. Remarkably, all traces have been restored. Not only restored, but improved upon in a few ways—in honor of Blair's Speed Shop.
Even though the old race car was worn out when Bill bought it, it was untouched and intact. The 301ci Chevy engine, Hilborn injection, and four-speed were there. Bill removed the injected small-block, replacing it in the '55 with another 301 built by Fischer Engineering in the '80s. Instead of injection, it runs a Holley 780 four-barrel carburetor on an Edelbrock Scorpion manifold. Bill found the Hooker headers on an abandoned '55 Gasser in the Nevada desert. They're now hooked to a Flowmaster exhaust, built at Royal Muffler in Chatsworth system. HP Transmission in Chatsworth, California, built the Muncie four-speed using M22 gears in an M21 case.
The chassis was cleaned up, but left essentially unchanged. The original 'rails and the Blair's Speed Shop tube axle frontend from the mid-'60s are in place, with leaf springs and tubular shocks. The axles were replaced and the 4.11 gears in the Pontiac rearend were rebuilt by Curt Hamilton in Van Nuys, California, and Jerry Harris in Bakersfield rebuilt the rear suspension. The brakes are stock '55 drums in front and Pontiac drums in the back.
Anyone who remembers the car from Lions Drag Strip will recognize some original race decals in the quarter windows, but not the paint or the lettering. When Don Nunes was racing it in the '60s, the Chevy was dark green with no lettering. Not anymore. Bill sent the car to Jack White in Campo, California, who straightened the sheetmetal and sprayed the gray primer paint. The race lettering was applied by Brad Barrie (who also owns a historic '55 Gasser). The new appearance is part of Bill's effort to build the car as well as he could instead of reproducing the original look.
The rear wheelwells had been radiused in the '60s but were redone and flared during the revival. Bill filled those wheelwells with 10.00-15 Radir slicks on 8x15 chrome reverse wheels. A pair of original Cragar front runners, measuring 4x15, with 5.60-15 Firestones ride up front.
In the '60s, guys would wait in line for an interior by the late-Tony Nancy. One of the signatures of a Nancy interior was a square cutout in the bench seat, to allow a floor-shifter conversion. This '55 has that modification, and when Mike Ambrose Custom Interiors, in North Hills, California, reupholstered the seat that square was preserved. The dash is free of all non-essentials—just a Sun Super Tach II on the column and a trio of gauges in a below-dash bracket added by Bill.
The first time we saw Bill's '55, the door lettering said Blair's Speed Shop—part of the tribute to the renowned shop that had originally built the Gasser. He changed the graphics to Solo Speed Shop out of courtesy after Blair's started getting calls about the Gasser Don Blair built almost 50 years ago. But Solo Speed Shop is not a shop in the traditional sense. It's the name of a website (www.solospeedshop.com), but more significantly, it's the name for Bill's participation in hot rodding. "Anyone can have their own Solo Speed Shop," Bill says. All you need is a car, a place to work on it, and the passion to see a survivor revived.

Judge sends man to jail then has sex with his baby mama
Newscast Media DETROIT—First, he came under fire for sending nude pictures of himself to a female bailiff. Then, Third Circuit Court Judge Wade McCree in Michigan sent a man to jail for failure to pay child support, and had sex with the man's girlfriend Geniene La'Shay Mott, who had sued the ex-boyfriend for late payments.
"It went from being a summer fling and just something to do to falling in love, promises of marriage, me getting pregnant, us buying a house together, name it," Mott said. The video below speaks for itself:
The judge is currently under investigation, and it remains to be seen if the system will will turn the tables against him, since he is now attempting to evade child support payments by asking Miss Mott to abort the baby.

Ilike this bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
good bag for a steel frame bike with traditional top tube, the straps have started to wear away at the paint so i use old tubes to protect the frame. this bag allows you to run a dropper post and still take a tool kit along
great frame bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I use this bike camping and find it a nice add on for the items you will need often while touring. Great for the quick snack and cell phone

I am planning on a combo antelope/deer hunt this fall and was thinking about using it for a second choice so I could still build points. From looking at the maps units 65 and 73 looked like the only areas to do a diy hunt on national forest land. I'm not looking to shoot a monster, I would be happy with a 140 or 150 buck. Thanks for any info.

Dr. Maureen Lichtveld of the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine will lead a five-year study to explore the potential health impacts of the Deepwater Horizon disaster on pregnant women and women of reproductive age living in Louisiana's coastal parishes. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has awarded a $6.5 million grant for the study.
This is the first long-term study to examine the effects of a major oil spill on pregnant women and women's health, says Lichtveld, Freeport McMoRan Chair of Environmental Policy.
"Pregnant women are always a population of concern when there are environmental exposures, as the developing fetus may be vulnerable to even small doses of contaminants," Lichtveld says. "To our knowledge, this is also the first study to examine maternal stress and anxiety related to a major oil spill and the associated effects on birth outcomes, fetal health and family-planning behavior."
The grant creates the Transdisciplinary Research Consortium for Gulf Resilience on Women's Health at Tulane. The consortium will quantify potential exposure levels among women to environmental contaminants via seafood consumption and air emissions; study how disasters affect reproduction decisions; and explore how environmental and social disparities affect women's health and pregnancies.
The study covers Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard and Terrebonne parishes. The consortium will partner with community groups to conduct its research.
"The entire research consortium is centered around community-based participatory research," Lichtveld says. "Our communities will help design the studies, are active partners in implementing the studies, and will play a leadership role in translating and disseminating the study results. This assures that we make science work for our communities."
The consortium will work with Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corp., Bayou Interfaith Sharing Community Organizing and Women Infant and Children (WIC) clinics in the affected parishes to conduct the study.

Editor's note: Some drones are bigger than a jet, weaponized and used in strategic military operations. Others are smaller than a basketball, sent airborne for basic surveillance or weekend recreation.
The label "unmanned aerial vehicles," or UAVs, is almost a catch-all term covering a wide range of devices that vary greatly in their capabilities and purposes. Yet the use of drones generally sparks intense debate, questions about security versus privacy and even fear.
In the WTOP series "Spy in the Sky," WTOP examines the types of drones used by the U.S. military and fears about targeted killings, both at home and abroad.
Part 4: Unlikely bedfellows
Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Americans' awareness about drones has increased dramatically this year, as the political debate on Capitol Hill and in statehouses attempts to shape how the technology can be used in the future.
In Virginia, a two-year moratorium on the use of drones by police and government agencies is now in the hands of Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell.
In Maryland, a bill restricting drone use has been introduced this year. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from using drones to gather evidence or other information without a warrant. The bill does make exceptions for a high-risk terrorist threat and a response to an emergency.
And in Washington, a nearly 13-hour filibuster on the Senate floor elevated a legal question about drones to a trending topic in social media.
"In the last couple years we've really seen drones move from a sort of far away, abstract, science-fiction-y idea to something that's very real," says Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union.
The debate about the use of drones, whether it involves weaponized units abroad or tiny surveillance devices in America, has created unlikely bedfellows.
In Virginia, for example, organizations including the ACLU, the Tea Party Patriots Federation and agriculture groups supported the moratorium, even as several law enforcement organizations opposed it.
Ultimately, the state's delay is a way to hit the pause button on drone use so lawmakers can have time to develop procedures to govern their deployment.
"The moratorium has some provisions for cases where there are missing children … officers who are down and other provisions involving search and rescue operations that are under way," says Delegate Ben Cline, R-Amherst, who introduced the moratorium bill in the Virginia House of Delegates.
At least 31 states are considering laws that would limit drone use, according to U.S. News & World Report. Those concerned about drone deployment would like to see more hearings on the devices, and more transparency.
"One of the concerns here is that it's not always clear that we have enough privacy laws in place now to protect us from drones," Stanley says.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., put the spotlight on the hypothetical scenario of weaponized drones in America earlier this month during his filibuster of President Barack Obama's pick for CIA director, John O. Brennan.
"I will speak until I can no longer speak," Paul said as he began the stall tactic.
"I will speak as long as it takes until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime," he said.
On the same day, Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he had a tense exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
"If a U.S. citizen on U.S. citizen soil is not posing immediate threat to life or bodily harm, does the Constitution allow a drone to kill that citizen?" Cruz asked.
Holder ultimately responded with a straightforward "No," though it took nearly four minutes before he returned the answer Cruz was seeking.
"The kind of oversight that I think the American people should be expecting — when you have a president who's claiming authority to kill United States citizens far from any battlefield — has not happened," says Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel in the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office.

A good friend of mine recently joined a dating website, which is a perfectly fine thing to do. She�s a mature woman and, like many, realizes that there aren�t that many places people can go to meet suitable companions these days. As soon as she joined the dating site, she received a message from a man purporting to be a soldier stationed in Afghanistan. She showed me the messages he had sent her, as well as the photographs. My cop antenna immediately went up.
The first email he sent her was obviously written by a non-native English speaker. It read like one of those spam emails we all get from people named Mrs. Mary Goodlove or the Hon. Moses D. Amblissi. Lots of flowery words: Beloved, precious, my dearest � that kind of stuff. Those types of scams usually originate from Nigerians, Russians or other countries on the other side of the globe.
The rest of the emails were nonsense. They were long epistles about what this man wanted in life, filled with tons of lofty talk about his philosophy and what a good, loving man he was. They appeared to have been lifted wholesale from the Internet. I told her that nothing about this man rang true and if she was smart, she�d ignore him. I believe he will eventually start asking her for money, which is what these guys generally do. She later told me she blocked him from being able to contact her.
When I returned home I looked up the website, which runs a lot of ads on television and is aimed at mature adults, to see what its reputation was and the results were not encouraging. People reported almost unanimously that customer service was nonexistent and they kept billing one�s credit card even after cancelling. They also said that many of the people enrolled were hit on by predators much like the one who was writing my friend.
I may not be the smartest person, and I know that some of these online dating sites have worked for some; but if you�re thinking of using an online dating site, please do some research before you sign up. Just do a thorough search of the site�s name and the word reviews. The results could help you save a little money and lots of aggravation.
Also, if the guy who answers your ad sounds too good to be true, remember what we always said in law enforcement: If it sounds too good to be true, it is. And never, ever give out personal details or send money to people like this. You�re just being taken for a ride.
One last word: Run the people who reply to your profile by someone who cares about you. Sometimes others can see what you can�t � or won�t � see.

Squeeze-Film Gas Damping of a Vibrating Disc
Application ID: 14105
This benchmark model computes the total force acting on a vibrating disc in the frequency and time domains and compares both results with expressions derived analytically. When the vibration amplitude is small enough that the system is linear the frequency and time domain results agree well with theory. Larger amplitude vibrations, which result in a non-linear response that cannot be modeled in the frequency domain, are explored in the time domain, and compared against analytic solutions.

File:Antarctica Without Ice Sheet.png
From Global Warming Art
This is topographic map of Antarctica after removing the ice sheet and accounting for both isostatic rebound and sea level rise. Hence this map suggests what Antarctica may have looked like 35 million years ago, when the Earth was warm enough to prevent the formation of large-scale ice sheets in Antarctica.[1]
Isostatic rebound is the result of the weight of the ice sheet depressing the land under it. After the ice is removed, the land will rise over a period of thousands of years by an amount approximately 1/3 as high as the ice sheet that was removed (because rock is 3 times as dense as ice). Approximately half the uplift occurs during the first two thousand years [1]. If the ice sheet is removed over more than a few thousand years, then it is possible that a majority of the uplift will occur before the ice sheet fully disappears.
As indicated in the map, Antarctica consists of a large continental region (East Antarctica) and group of seas and smaller land regions (West Antarctica). Since the West Antarctic ice sheet is partially anchored below sea level, this region is less stable and more likely to be affected by global warming. Even so, it is likely that during the next century increased precipitation over Antarctica will offset melting.[2]
Even in the event of severe sustained warming, it would take many thousands of years for Eastern Antarctica to be fully deglaciated.
Image Data
This image was based on the BEDMAP study of Antarctic sub-glacial topography.[3] To account for post-glacial uplift, ice sheet thickness was smoothed on a 160 km scale (to include the effect of crustal flexing) and then 35% of ice thickness was added to bed rock elevation. An additional adjustment of 65 m was included to account for sea level rise due to ice sheet melting.[2]

Around The Market
09/08/2010 11:00 by Amsterdamize
As most of you know, my girlfriend
moved here in May and, waiting for her residence permit to drop on the mat, it's safe to say
she's enjoying herself exploring this city of ours
. Part of that revolves around shopping, of course. And not too long ago Lauren concluded she'd been a fool resorting to regular stores, when there are so many markets around. Value for money, fresh produce & fun! So one Saturday we included the
Albert Cuyp market
in De Pijp on our route. A place so popular with Amsterdammers that the city deemed it necessary to employ a steward to regulate on-street bicycle parking. That aside, here are some samples of
my market shopping impressions a la Hollandaise
First off: you're very likely to bump into
a former photography subject
, yet again
Let's meet & don't forget your hat
It's very likely you'll meet friends on your way to the market
Sit back and relax while mom does all the shopping & smile
Where, oh where did I put that [...]
Fresh & chat
K9 patience & "Whaddayamean, you can't haul stuff on a bike?"
Dad & son/daughter, a popular combination
Together & treat yourself
Walking into one last shop along the market, the owner noticed my camera, figured at first I was a tourist, but after correcting that he let me in on a 'public secret' of the Albert Cuyp market. He stepped outside and pointed at the rooftops: "Look at them [seagulls & herons], there, there, there and there, everywhere, like clockwork they've all lined up, taken position. At any moment now, they'll all come flying down to pick up what's left of that fish vender's stock. Not many people notice or know of it. I've been doing business here for over 20 years, but it never fails to amuse me. You should really wait for them to attack and take some nice pictures."
I did wait for a bit, but the waiting game took too long, even for me, while Lauren was keen on riding off with the new bike basket 'Albert Cuyp' provided for her. Life's little priorities, right?
Oh, and you've noticed, Lauren is indeed my Cycle Chic muse :).

Hello, I just started using the Toaster app that comes packaged with Zimbra Desktop. I find it very promising and am very excited to find that your trying to do a couple of things that I silently said to myself "I wish Zimbra would ...".
There are a couple of things that I'd like to provide some feedback on.
First, the new mail notification seems a little bit on the broke side. While it does report new messages, it does not clear the new message status when I delete that message. This appears to be inconsistent as a few messages worked as expected but a few have not. This last one that it still reminds me is new has been deleted for about 10 hours. Mind you, this is being deleted from the live Zimbra client, not from Desktop.
Secondly, I cheered aloud when I saw that you folks provided shell integration with mailto links. I click on a mailto link and it opens a Zimbra session and starts to compose that message, kudos!
However, I did let out a muffled groan when I realized it was opening a new tab/session for each click instead of re-using the tab that was already open. Is there any way to incorporate re-use of an existing tab/session?

October Club Meeting: Mike Reilly Wed Oct 26th
Were super excited to bring you another killer club meeting! Mike Reilly (the Voice of Ironman) will be our special guest this month. Mike was just inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame two weeks ago in Kona!
So grab a friend, bring your appetite and get prepared for a BIG Raffle, killer food and a special evening as Mike shares with us stories from the 99 Ironman races he has announced starting back in 1989!
Mike is one of the most popular race announcers and has been the main announcer at the Ironman World Championships in Kona since 1989. He began his involvement in triathlon as a participant in 1979 and is still at it.
Mike announced seven Ironman events last year, along with several other marquee short-course events. He is one of the founders and vice president of The Active Network Inc., which houses Active.com, one of the largest participatory sport websites.
Reilly began his career in sport after teaching special education for two years. He and his brother founded and ran The Swift Pair running shoe stores in Southern California and Arizona. In the early 1980s, he joined with Murphy Reinschreiber and Neil Finn to form a race production company called Road Promotions Inc. He and his wife, Rose, founded Race Place Magazine in 1984, and it is still the top regional source for event listings and entry forms in Southern California. And he founded MJR Sports in 1996, a company that consults to the industry and sells sponsorships for events around the country.

Kristen Stewart Makes MAD Magazine's List of 20 Dumbest People of 2012
Nice! Kristen Stewart now has something in common with President Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Amanda Bynes, Rush Limbaugh, Paula Deen, Lance Armstrong, Ann Curry, tanning mom and Apple maps.
All of the above, and more, are included in MAD Magazine's new cover story on "The 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2012."
Ann is probably on the list for how NBC treated her, as opposed to anything too "dumb" that she did personally, but we're guessing KStew gets the full treatment for this past summer's cheating "scandal" and her subsequent apology about the "indiscretion." It could get interesting. No word on whether Lindsay Lohan made the list too, but whenever we see Amanda Bynes' name we think of her tabloid twin, LiLo.
The MAD issue, with its rankings and comments, will hit newsstands on December 18.

The Fit Family Fall Bucket List: 13 Ways to Eat and Play This Season
The calendar has officially declared that fall has arrived, even if the weather is slow to get on board. This cooler season isn't unlike summer in that it is full of wonderful ways for you and your family to stay active and healthy.
Here are thirteen fun things you can do with your loved ones. We encourage you to try one activity for each week of Autumn.
1. Play at the Pumpkin Patch.
The pumpkin patch is a great way to get off the couch and get some fresh air. Most patches have hay rack rides, petting zoos, and even playgrounds. Get the most out of your time, challenge your kids to find the oddest sized pumpkin, or get some exercise by searching the far end of the patch. There's lots of fun to be had by all.
2. Eat Pumpkin!
While you're at the patch, don't forget to grab a few baking pumpkins. The big guys are great for jack-o'-lanterns, but don't taste the best. The smaller sizes are great for more than pie. Try roasting a pumpkin and serving it with a little salt, or add it to your favorite chili recipe. In fact we have 11 more ideas for cooking with this gourd.
3. You Butternut Forget the Squash!
Whether you're at the pumpkin patch or at your grocery store, don't forget about the other delicious plants growing on the vine. Fall welcomes the season for winter squashes like butternut or acorn. The shapes are fun and the flavors are delicious. Experiment with new tastes with Butternut Squash Fries or Roasted Acorn Squash Salad.

Hello cartographers!
I'm a new arrival to the forum, and there's some absolutely amazing work here...which has given me a lot of ideas for the Forgotten Realms campaign I'm running.
I'm wondering if its possible, should anyone have the time or interest, I'm looking to have a small map created of Yaulazna, Bay of Pirates, which is a small pirate hamlet off the coast of Halruaa, if anyone is familiar with the FR campaign setting. Its a unique place in the sense that half of it is on land, the other half on the water, which is made of wrecked ships lashed together in a sort of floating shanty town. A fuller description of the area can be found at the following link (need to scroll down):
Cities and Sites of Halruaa
Ideally, I'm looking for a small, coloured map of the small village, without a legend. My players are on their way to this location and I'd like to have something special for them when they arrive; this is one of the locations in my campaign that I'm really trying to bring to life with characters, plots, ideas, and of course, a good map. I'm looking at about 2-3 weeks before the players arrive at this location.
If this request is of interest to anyone, I would be extremely grateful for any assistance. If not, thank you kindly for reading my request, and please continue the great maps you guys make!
Thank you for your time,

Jacob Geier, a Mepham High School sophomore, said he is happy to play Friedrich von Trapp in the Skull and Bones drama club's spring production of "The Sound of Music." Being a member of the famous family is the first lead role he has played in at Mepham. It's also his first experience having siblings of sorts, as the only child was one of four high-schoolers who were cast with three North Bellmore Elementary School District students as the von Trapp children.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — One New Jersey lawmaker wants a Valentine's Day do-over.
Assemblyman John McKeon notes his state was taking a beating from snow and bitter cold on Valentine's Day in February. So, McKeon has introduced a resolution that would name August 14 as "Half St. Valentine's Day."
The resolution asks Governor Chris Christie to issue a proclamation calling on New Jerseyans to celebrate as they would have on Valentine's Day.
McKeon tells The Star-Ledger of Newark the Half St. Valentine's Day would also help local businesses.

Save your money and buy something better. This thing looks like a kids toy and the beam is pathetic. The beam is wide but not very strong at all. Used it on a 10 night backpacking trip in the sierras and from the start i was wishing I had brought my older petzl headlamp. Do not recommend, Walmart offers a coleman that is way better
Good but Flawed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am on my third Fuel headlamp. The previous two broken in the same way; if you drop them just right the little clip take holds the battery compartment closed breaks off. Both previous headlamps still function with a bit of modification and a zip tie. All that said, I must like this headlamp, because I bought another one. It's bright, and inexpensive. Great for pre-dawn tours or after-dark runs.
FYI, Princeton Tec just mailed me 2 clips for the wife's. Have read this is an issue on this model across the board with the door clip. Just give them a ring and they'll ship it no charge.
Butch - thanks for the tip. I'll do it.
Just a followup - I took Butch's advice contacted Princeton Tec (I tried the email approach), and within 30 minutes I had a response letting me know that new doors and pins were on their way. Nice work Princeton Tec!
great little light
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
liked the little headlamp. stretchy band fits both me and my 10 year old daughter's head.. she's been happy with it to read books, etc.. I use it occasionally to work in dark spaces.
simple to operate and very handy. the material and contruction seems to be of high quality. could use a lower light setting for reading a book, but still pretty good.
Surprisingly bright
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Anymore it seems like the single super bright LEDs throw more light than the cheap multi-LED versions. Not the case here. The four little LEDs really put it out and the fact that you have multiple light sources throws a wider pattern making it much better when running in the dark. Light weight, all it needs is a set of rechargeable batteries and you are golden.
Cool headlamp
This is my headlamp for everyday use. Around the house, reading, looking for something in the dark, etc. I customized mine on princeton tec's website, which is a feature I really liked because I got to make my headlamp the colors I wanted it to be. Throws out great light, headband feels good on head, and it is nice and light. Excellent Headlamp.
Princeton Tec Spectrum Fuel 4 Headlamp
May be the most articulate demo vid. i've ever seen on a product. Thanks.
I can't believe Princeton Tec has not changed the design of the battery compartment door on the Fuel. It is a major source of failure. I bought 2 and they both broke. Keep your receipts as at least they come with a five year warrantee. Mine both lasted about a year - maybe 3 or 4 battery changes.

the video says this headlamp is waterproof...
the video says this headlamp is waterproof but its not listed in the "tech specs", is that the case?
From what I have found for reviews and specs concerning this particular headlamp elsewhere, I believe that this lamp is probably rated to IPX4, something you deem as being water- or splash-resistant, but by no means immersible and/or submersible, therefore, not actually waterPROOF. That being the case, I would posit that you could probably dunk it quickly or, in the case that it landed in a body of water, retrieve it expediently without any harm befalling the circuitry of the lamp, but you wouldn't want to rely on this if you were going on a white-water rafting trip or somewhere where the likelihood of it getting completely drenched was elevated or certain.
In short, water-resistant, not water-proof. Hope this helps.

Bradley earns video game design recognition
March 1, 2012
Peoria, IL (March 1, 2012) Bradley University has earned an honorable mention on the Princeton Review's third annual list that recognizes the best undergraduate video game design programs in the nation and Canada.
Bradley was selected out of 150 institutions that offer video game design coursework and/or degrees.
The survey recognizes 50 leading institutions for their outstanding game design education programs. The Princeton Review chose the schools based on a survey it conducted in the 2011-12 academic year. Selections were based on a comprehensive analysis of data that analyzed the quality of the curriculum, faculty, facilities, and infrastructure, plus the school's scholarships, financial aid and career services.
"This program provides students a unique learning experience working across disciplines to advance their knowledge and skills," Bradley President Joanne Glasser said. "Our program prepares students to meet the challenges ahead and succeed in the workplace. We are pleased that our peer institutions have provided this national recognition to Bradley University as a leader in game design education."
Bradley began offering its distinctive interdisciplinary program in 2010. A collaboration between computer science and interactive media, Bradley will graduate its first three students this spring from the programs. The computer science curriculum is programming intensive, and interactive media is more focused on game design. The collaboration makes Bradley's program distinctive because students learn terminologies and game development methodologies used in the two disciplines in industry. In addition to video game design, the technology students are learning is used in many fields, including medical simulation, manufacturing and education.
Bradley is a private, independent university in Peoria, Illinois, offering 6,000 students the choice of more than 100 academic programs. Bradley links academic excellence, experiential learning and leadership development with an entrepreneurial spirit for a world-class education. Our size provides students extensive resources not available at most private colleges and the personal attention not commonly found at large universities.

Hello, I have new Zimbra installation (8.0.1.GA.5438.UBUNTU12.64 UBUNTU12_64 FOSS edition) most things work fine, but if I change some options in "Global settings", it won't stick, for example I've tried to change:
Global settings -> MTA -> Sender address must be fully qualified (reject_non_fqdn_sender) - uncheck checkbox - Save
add some IP like IP/32 into
Global settings -> MTA -> MTA Trusted Networks
change value in
Global settings -> General information -> Maximum size of an uploaded file for Briefcase, Email messages, Calendar appointments and Tasks (KB)
If I change any of those settings, press "Save" then "Close", go to "Home" screen and then go back to "General settings" page I see that changes I've made wasn't saved.
Also I've tried to change AS/AV settings and some other, same thing, nothing is saved.
It looks like only Global settings -> Default domain stick on place.

When it comes to the Republican Party, once again the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, leaving Ohio voters seriously confused.
Earlier this week the GOP was all over the board about its position on the first version of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.Presidential nominee John McCain urged its passage while House Republicans revolted and defeated the measure. Then, House GOP leaders blamed the defeat on a partisan speech by Democrat Nancy Pelosi, only to have the Republicans who voted "no" insist her remarks didn't affect their stance. Even ultra-conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh made fun of the assertion and essentially told GOP leaders to grow up.
Now the Republicans find themselves speaking with forked tongues about changes in Ohio's election laws. A federal appeals court Tuesday rejected a Republican appeal of a disputed early voting window that allows Ohio voters to register and cast a ballot on the same day, according to the Associated Press. The Ohio Supreme Court — led by a Republican majority — also upheld the early voting window in a decision the same day, as did another federal judge in Cleveland.
Cue the spin meisters at state GOP headquarters in Columbus.
In a mass e-mail sent to party faithful today entitled, "Stealing Ohio," State GOP Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine wrote, "The liberal courts just approved same-day registration in Ohio, and Democrats are planning to turn out thousands of new voters without any time to validate those registrations … We cannot let them steal this election."
DeWine's e-mail asks for contributions of $25, $50 or $100 to the party's legal defense fund, so it can continue challenging the legal decisions.
Nevermind that it was a GOP-dominated Supreme Court that upheld the change that allows the early voting window.
Nevermind that McCain's presidential campaign hasn't provided any details about how it thinks Barack Obama's campaign intends to take advantage of the window.
And nevermind that the early voting window was created because the Republican-controlled legislature passed a hastily-written law in 2005 that enabled all Ohio voters to vote absentee.
Another mass e-mail received today sent by McCain's campaign and signed by running mate Sarah Palin urges Ohio Republicans to make use of the early voting window.
"In these times of crisis, we need a tested, proven leader like John McCain," Palin's e-mail states. "That's why it's important for you to cast your ballot today in Ohio. Over the next five days, you can register to vote and cast your ballot for November's election at the same time."
Also, the e-mail offers a handy link to let voters locate the early voting center closest to them. But the early voting window debate isn't the only bit of manufactured outrage by increasingly desperate Republicans in the last 24 hours.
Some conservatives have criticized Gwen Ifill, the PBS reporter who will serve as moderator of tonight's vice presidential debate. They are worried Palin won't get a fair shake because Ifill is writing a book about black leaders that contains a chapter about Obama.
McCain mostly dismissed the criticism of Ifill Wednesday. "Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn't writing a book favorable to Barack Obama, let's face it," he told CBS News. "But I have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is."
Only problem is, McCain's campaign knew about Ifill's book when it approved her as moderator for the debate, and the book has been advertised on Amazon.com for weeks.
And these people say they're better qualified to run the country?
— Kevin Osborne
You can start early voting in Ohio and, for the next week, register to vote and vote on the same visit to the Board of Elections.

Hello All!
We are in the beginning phases of the planning of an early archery season elk hunt. I am not posting for the gps coordinates of anyones honey hole (unless you want to give them to me) but want to know some information on some areas we are looking into pursuing.
We have been looking into the Little Belts and the Big Belts. We are looking for general areas to focus in on to make our travels from the Midwest effective for the duration of our hunt. We have talked about making a summer trip to these areas to do some scouting and would love any local or hunters with experience in these areas input.
We are not locked into these areas but from my early research thought these areas would be decent and open to other suggestions.
Feel free to message me and we can exchange e-mails or phone numbers. If you are interested in some decent whitetail bow hunting in northwest Illinois maybe we can do some trading.Also love to hear success stories and see trophy pictures.
Thanks! hope to chat soon

|Softball sees improvement, goes 1-4
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
While the game results don't reflect it, coach Ashley Clayton said the Dragon softball team made huge improvements in two days.
The local team competed in the Sept. 6-7 tournament in Burlington, finishing with a 1-4 record. Friday found the Dragons losing three: to Burlington 1-11, to Rocky Ford 2-12 and to Brush 8-19.
Saturday action started with a big win when the girls defeated Limon 16-1. Later that day, they lost to Burlington 5-15.
Clayton said that many players stepped up in different roles as the tournament began. As the games progressed, they embraced these roles and improved with every play.
"The girls are beginning to understand how important communication and mental focus are to their success as an individual player and as a team," added Clayton.
Next up for the Lady Dragons is a doubleheader at Wray Saturday, Sept. 14, beginning at 10 a.m.

The Philips Forecast Story
Philips Forecast Lighting was born as Forecast Lighting in the beautiful Southern California sunshine in the 1970s. Their strong reputation garnered attention from Lightolier, who acquired the lighting company in 1992 and moved the company to Elgin, Illinois to give them more room to grow. Philips Lighting most recently took over in 2008, supporting the original Forecast focus of providing excellent, well-priced contemporary lighting for today's modern homes.
Why We Love Philips Forecast Lighting
Philips Forecast's outdoor lighting collection is modern and versatile, emphasizing simple, thick lines, contemporary shapes and weather-resistant finishes. This quality can be seen in their indoor lighting fixtures as well, but with softer looks that predominantly feature fabrics and etched glass instead of metal. Forecast is focused on bringing energy efficient, eco-friendly lighting to the industry as well. They've got some really streamlined contemporary LED lights, and most of their interior lighting designs offer fluorescent lamping options, always at competitive prices.
Fun Facts About Philips Forecast
The Philips Forecast in-house design team is directly inspired by their world travels, identifying new materials and styles they can then incorporate into their own creative designs. Philips Forecast is part of the Philips Lighting line, which also includes Thomas Lighting.
Noteworthy Lighting from Philips Forecast
The Embarcadero and Hollywood Hills collections are relaxed, simple and clean concepts, providing strong foundations for creating the perfect modern setting.
