Hi everyone,
First time posting. I just got my son (12) a youth encouragement cow hunt for unit 36. It will be just the 2 of us the end of November. First time hunting in this unit. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Trying to decide between camping or cabin. We also have the option of using our horses. Hard to make decisions without knowing the area. Will be going up before hand once I get some starting points. Any help would sure be appreciated. Also open to meeting someone before hand and hiring them to show me around a bit before the hunt.
Thank you,

All branches closed for Memorial Day, May 30th.
Puppet Theatre "Nalah And The Pink Tiger" at Paynesville Feb. 9, 2013
The Paynesville branch of Great River Regional Library will feature a live puppet show on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 1:00 p.m. "Nalah and the Pink Tiger" is based on a picture book of the same title by artist, author and puppeteer, Anne Sawyer-Aitch. The story is about a girl named Nalah who lives so intensely in her imagination that grown-ups around her view her as a troublemaker. Things come to a head when - in addition to all the exotic animals that Nalah has "placed" in the house – a pink tiger "follows" her home from the zoo and creates havoc. The story celebrates the joyful explosiveness of a child's imagination. It's a 35-minute show, followed by a question and answer session. The program is designed for children ages preschool through fifth grade, but all ages are welcome. Preregistration is recommended, as attendance is limited to 60. This program is funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Joe Budden makes a strong debut on the charts this week with his third straight-to-retail album No Love Lost, which enters the top 20 straight out the gate. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, whose single "Thrift Shop" has now spent consecutive weeks atop the singles chart, continue scanning product and pull ahead of A$AP Rocky's debut studio album Long.Live.A$AP, which continues to slide down.
With a few artists getting a bump thanks to one day of post-Grammy Award Sales (2 Chainz, Nas), Brotha Lynch Hung manages to be the sole Hip Hop artist to debut in the top 200 this week, scoring a nice placement above No. 70 with a solid number of copies sold.
Check below to see who had the strongest week on the charts.
Joe Budden Finds Love Isn't Lost On The Charts
Joe Budden has scored his highest chart debut to date since the release of his eponymous debut, which peaked at No. 8 in 2003. This week, the Jersey native bows at No. 15 with a solid 30,000 copies sold of No Love Lost, putting it at the high-end of the sales projections released last week. The success stems from the attention gleaned from both his charting single "She Don't Put It Down" featuring Lil Wayne and Tank, which is becoming his best-performing track to date, and his appearance on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop," which has been airing over the past month.
For No Love Lost, the Slaughterhouse rapper took a different approach. He relies heavily on guests for the LP, which features appearances from Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, Juicy J, Lloyd Banks and a crew of others. Joey Jumpoff's last album, the digital offering Mood Muzik 4: A Turn 4 The Worst, picked up in sales after its subsequent retail release, peaking at No. 9 on the Rap Albums chart.
Brotha Lynch Hung Attacks The Chart With Mannibalector
Strange Music's Brotha Lynch Hung shows that hard work continues to pay off. His third album for the label, Mannibalector, makes a solid chart debut, entering at No. 67 with 7,900 copies sold. The LP, which marks the third in a trilogy following the story of a man evolving into a cannibalistic killer, co-stars a handful of guests including Yelawolf, Tech N9ne and Hopsin, picking up where prior releases Coathanga Strangla (2011) and Dinner and a Movie (2010) left off. Brotha Lynch recently spoke to HipHopDX about his thoughts on the album as well as hoping to meet Eminem.

1. Two goals against
2. Lose in the shootout (or, old fashioned tie game)
3. Clinch playoff spot
4. Move into first place in the division
5. OTL vs. the 19-19-6 Sabres, who have beaten Pittsburgh, Ottawa and Montreal twice in the past month.
And because of this, it's a Tear Festival. You're disgusted. They're heartless. They're chokers. They are...
You know what they are? Hockey players. They play the game and try to win. Sometimes they don't win. That's what happens in hockey.
For all of you who spent all last night saying the worst things you can think of about this team, I suggest you go buy NHL '13 and set it on Rookie. You can win every game 10-1. Please do that instead of filling the rest of the fan's heads with such stupidity and negativity. The Boston Blewits? They're in first in the division and second in the conference, you f'ing jerk. Heartless? Gutless? They lost in the shootout, deeeeebag.
In a time of extreme emotion, when such a terrible thing has happened to our city, to our friends, to our lives, who in God's name wants to come here and read such dung? NO ONE. Stop being so selfish. You guys are like spies. A bunch of b*tchy little girls. Grow up.

Fast-ForwardWritten by on May 14, 2004 CPP Installs a Reverse-Tilt Hood Kit for '53-56 F-100s
A lot of what we cover in CLASSIC TRUCKS is the latest and greatest that the industry has to offer. Then there are the items that may have been introduced some time ago but have stood the test of time and are still considered a must-have item. For this story, we're revisiting one of the tried and true modifications for classic trucks--the reverse tilt-hood kit.
The Classic Performance Products Hood Flip Kit for '53-56 F-100s allows the hood to flip forward, offering a unique custom look while providing improved access to the engine compartment. The kit comes in a combination of polished stainless and bare steel, allowing the raw components to be chromed or painted to suit your needs. All of the required hardware is included as well. All you need to get started is a few hand tools. If you have a drill, a hand-held grinder, and a friend, you can complete the install in less than a couple hours. Follow along as CPP's Jim and Alan install the kit on the CPP project '56 Effie.

If you want people to stop and check out your engine compartment, one surefire way is to install a reverse-tilt hood kit.With the CPP kit, the hood slides up and out slightly to clear the fenders before it hinges forward.Another cool feature is when it is in the closed position; the stock hood latch still keeps the hood locked in place.The CPP kit comes complete with all the components and hardware for the installation. All of the friction parts are in polished stainless while the braces and main hinge are in raw steel--which can be chromed or painted at your discretion.You'll need a friend's help right off the bat. The first step was to remove the four bolts that attach the hood to the hinges while supporting the hood.The hood was lifted off the truck and flipped over onto something soft so it could be worked on. The hinges were then removed from the cowl.The stock support rods were removed from the rear of the hood. You can then use them to pry on the front two brackets to expose the three welds that hold each of them on.A special bit was used to cut out the three welds and remove the brackets. Then the area was ground smooth. If your truck is already painted, this is obviously an area you will need to be careful with.
Now the top hinge brackets were bolted to each of the supports with the supplied hardware. These four oblonged holes are what give you your hood adjustment up front.The pivot bar then temporarily dropped into the brackets so the supports could be aligned before being bolted to the front of the hood.Using the tip of the hood spring as a reference point, the front brackets were measured out equally and marked.A die grinder was used to clearance a small portion of the metal lip so the supports would lay flush. This is another area where you'll need to take precautions to protect the existing paint.Alan used a small pair of Vise Grips to hold the supports in place while he marked and drilled the three holes on each side. Here he dimpled the metal with a punch to keep the drill bit from walking on him.The supports were then bolted solid to the hood using the supplied hardware. Now the pivot bar could be removed.The lower hinges were bolted to the grille support using an existing hole. By installing the pivot bar (this time permanently and with a dab of grease), we could determine exactly where the second hole for the bracket needed to be drilled and bolted.Two of the existing fender bolts were removed for the polished stainless track to be mounted. The rearmost bolt is what gives the rear of the hood its adjustment.
Now for the moment of truth. The hood was held in place while the pivot bar was inserted back into its brackets. Then the hood was carefully lowered into place and slowly closed. Now is the time to make all of the adjustments so the hood closes perfectly.All that was left to be installed was the polished stainless prop rod. A hole was measured out and drilled into the fender edge between two mounting bolts.Two more holes were measured and drilled into the bottom edge of the hood as per the directions. Then a machined block was bolted into place for the prop rod to plug into.When the hood is closed, the rod rests in this modified factory fender rubber. It was simply glued into place.

Please Help Me with this!
I've installed Zimbra Desktop 7.1.1 but the application will not run. I double click the application - but it does not activate or ask me to set up accounts or anything. I've also done a full shut down & restart of my pc. I also removed this version, and installed earlier versions with the same results. After each version removal I restarted my PC. After each version of install I also restarted my PC.
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP3
Dell Inspiron 19300 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
Processor 2 GHz
1.99 GHz 2 GB RAM
Free Space: Currently 1.60 GB
Any assistance with this would be appreciated!
PS. Please see attached picture of error message from 7.1.1 install!

Since yesterday I have a problem with Zimbra. Part of the incoming message passes through the server, and part of it is in line with the message "lost connection with domain [ip] while sending end of data - message may be sent more than once"
I tried to disable anti-virus / anti-spam but messages in the queue after taking postqueue-f on locally can not be delivered. Some new messages are passing clearly.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause?

I'm looking to perhaps replace my existing Zimbra NE install with the Zimbra Appliance.
This is my second unsuccessful try with it. I keep getting stuck at this point in the server boot up process:
*checking file system
fsck 1.40.b(13 Mar 2008)
fsck.ext3: No suh file or diretory while trying to opne /dev/zg01/zv/01
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else) then the superblock
is corrupt, any you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
/dev/sda/1: clean, 313/32128 files, 28653/128488 blocks
fsck died with exit status B
* File system check failed
A log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/chekcfs if that location is writable.
Please repair the file system manually.
*A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and resume system boot.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue): * Starting NTP server ntpd
Login incorrect.
Give root password for maintenance
I've tried many different passwords but my googling ability must not very good as I've yet to ever get in to maintenance.
If I hit Control-D and proceed with boot it does take me to the 'VMware Zimbra Collaboration Appliance' screen where I can login, configure network and set the time. I'm presented with the option to login though once again I can't seem to find the right username and password. I'm also instructed to go to a webpage to config the appliance but going to that address produces a 'page cannot be displayed' error.
I'm not using VMware, I'm using Virtualbox instead. Maybe that's it, though I've always been able to start ovf files in it regardless of who the vendor was.
I'm thinking I need to fix that file system first though before I can do anything but am stuck on which way to proceed.
Anyway, if you all are feeling charitable then send me some ideas. I'll reread the install guide in the meantime!
Thanks In Advance!

Key Documents
- Read Brian Berger's witness list (DOCX - 15kb)
Twenty people on Brian Berger's witness list
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
A WWAY news director, his fellow commissioners, and several current and former county staff members can be found on the witness list for New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger's upcoming amotion hearing.
1. Brian Berger
2. Woody White
3. Beth Dawson
4. Johnathan Barfield Jr.
5. Thomas Wolfe
6. Frayda S. Bluestein
7. Sheila Schult
8. Wanda Copley
9. Chris Coudriet
10. Derrick Hickey, MD
11. Catherine Fleming
12. Carolyn Bordeaux
13. Kim Crowell
14. Bruce Shell
15. Sharon Hoffman
16. Scott Pickey
17. Tim Burgess
18. Airlie Gardens
19. Avril Pender
20. Dennis Ihnant
21. William Crowningshield
Berger's witness list, submitted by his lawyer Friday, includes 20 names of people and one place that could be called to testify during the hearing Monday. Beyond county staff and elected officials, Scott Pickey of local television station WWAY and Airlie Gardens can be found on the list.
No explanation of each witness's purpose is available with the list.
Chairman Woody White said that while the board intends to give Berger a "full and fair hearing," he would not allow for any "extraneous testimony to filibuster the hearing."
"This hearing is about him, not about whatever beef he has with these people," White said. "We will allow him ample opportunity to present his case, but it is not proper for him to present evidence that is not germane to the hearing."
None of the listed witnesses have yet been subpoenaed to appear at the hearing Monday, White said.
Berger's attorney, Christopher Anglin, attempted to stall the hearing Thursday, filing a restraining order complaint against the Board of Commissioners in New Hanover County Superior Court. By stopping the amotion, Berger's lawyer argued that both sides could explore if an amotion is the "proper procedure."
But as of the end of the work day Friday, no superior court judge had signed off on Berger's filed complaint. As a result, the amotion hearing that could remove Berger from office will likely move forward as scheduled Monday.
In the complaint, Berger questions whether an amotion is still law in the state. The complaint also takes exception to several of the board's amotion rules.
"Both the unlawful restriction of my ability and my attorney's ability to be heard at this hearing, along with losing my seat as county commissioner, constitute irreparable injuries that may take place without me having the adequate ability to be heard at the amotion hearing," Berger wrote in an affidavit filed with the complaint.
Anglin, an attorney from Wake County, identified himself as Berger's lawyer Thursday afternoon – just one day before the deadline to file.
In addition to filing the complaint, Anglin also asked the commissioners for a continuation of the hearing.
Berger's fellow commissioners denied this request Thursday afternoon. White said the fear for county staff's safety and security has made the amotion hearing an urgent matter.
These fears were amplified in March after a publicized run-in between Berger and N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory and his security team, and Berger's unauthorized trip to Washington, D.C., to pass out thousands of copies of his manifesto. The manifesto threatens some county staff members and falsely accuses both current and former officials of illegal activity.
The amotion hearing is scheduled to be held at 1 p.m. Monday, immediately following the regularly scheduled commissioners' meeting.

"Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life." Dom Tomás Balduino
The Friday Night Bunch surprised everyone when we ventured east of President Street, for a unique experience on Harbor East's Lancaster Street's newest hotspots: Ouzo Bay, serving seafood; Townhouse Kitchen, an upscale sports bar with specialty tables where you can draw ice-cold draft beer from a computer-monitored tap; and Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant, featuring crafted beers. These restaurants range from casual to fine dining. "It's electric" The surrounding area brings a new charm to the East Side.
"Eastern Aircraft at that time was completely integrated. It was the first time I had ever sat down to eat in a completely integrated institution in my life." Susan King, riveter, Eastern Aircraft Corporation 1942
The group left "downtown" and headed uptown to Kumari Restaurant in Mt. Vernon to meet my godson Darren Henson at his favorite restaurant, serving Nepalese, Indian and Tibetan food. The romantic aroma of the spices drifting through the dining area was so seductive that I couldn't resist the temptation when Darren insisted on ordering the lamb jalfreezi (lamb chops) for me. The lamb chops, perfectly seasoned with a hint of pink, arrived on a sizzling platter with grilled vegetables. This restaurant also features a lunch and dinner buffet.
In the middle of the 800 block of Calvert Street is Iggies, serving the best pizzas, antipasto, salads and gelato prepared with fresh ingredients. Since it was my first experience at Aggies, Whitney was eager to assist me in making my choice. I settled for the signature pizza "Alice" with basil pesto, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, garlic spinach, and goat cheese. The pizza was "simply the best." Did I tell you this is a BYOB eatery and they provide the glasses? "I'll be there" next time with a bottle of vino. To order online go to www.iggiespizza.com .
"Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished, lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history." Carter G. Woodson

Pedestrian killed on State Road 200 near Pine Run
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 6:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 9:52 a.m.
OCALA – A pedestrian died Wednesday night when he was struck by one vehicle and run over by another on State Road 200, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers.
FHP identified the victim as Al Scott Benson, 53, of Ocala.
At the crash location near Southwest 88th Terrace, which is near the Pine Run subdivision and Kingsland Plaza, the accident blocked traffic heading east on SR 200 for more than three hours as troopers worked the scene. The crash occurred at 9:35 p.m., according to reports.
Though there is a traffic light at the intersection and light at the plaza, the section of the roadway where the accident occurred appeared dark.
The drivers of the two vehicles, a 2000 Crown Victoria and a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, declined to speak to a Star-Banner reporter about the crash. Neither the driver nor a passenger in the SUV was injured.
Troopers said the Jeep was in the right lane, heading east on the busy thoroughfare, when Benson stepped into the road and was hit.
The driver of the Jeep, Ramona J. Natal, 46, and her passenger, Daisy L. Natal, 27, both of Dunnellon, turned around and stopped at the scene.
Robert C. Johnson, 68, of Ocala, the driver of the Crown Victoria, was in the center lane, and his vehicle ran over Benson, officials said. He, too, remained at the scene until law enforcement and other emergency responders arrived.
Both drivers told troopers the traffic light was green and they never saw Benson. Authorities said it was not known if the pedestrian was in the walkway.
The Natals told troopers they were on their way to a fast food restaurant. Johnson said he was on his way home.
Benson was pronounced dead on scene at 9:43 p.m. by a Marion County Fire Rescue paramedic.
So far this year, there have been 19 traffic fatalities in Marion County. Of those deaths, four have involved pedestrians: one in the city of Ocala and three in unincorporated Marion County.
The deaths in the county all occurred on SR 200 within a mile of each other. According to FHP Sgt. Tammy Wildy, who is in charge of the Traffic Homicide Investigations unit for the Ocala office, those deaths were caused by a combination of factors, including that all three pedestrians were wearing dark clothing, were not paying attention to the roadway and "at least one of the deceased had a high alcohol level."

Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development History
Stan Milam Column - Government at Work
Reproduced with permission of the Wisconsin State Journal
Date: Sunday, August 25, 2002
Section: Business
Edition: All
Page: E1
Type: Column
Column: Government at Work
Byline: Stan Milam
Memo: Stan Milam, of Capitol News Service, has covered state government issues since 1983. He can be reached at (608) 251-8585; send E-mail to email@example.com.
At first blush it looked like just another state agency press conference hyping something.
The Department of Workforce Development last week "unveiled" an online museum highlighting the history of worker programs in the state dating back to 1883 when the agency was created. If you had a dime for every new program or whatever that's "unveiled" in state government, you'd be wealthy in no time.
So, it was with some skepticism that I agreed to follow up on a call from the department informing me of this event. I was pleasantly surprised at what I found and even more impressed with the way the project was undertaken and completed.
News reports have documented the nuts and bolts of the new website -- www.dwd.state.wi.us/dwd/dwdhistory/ -- which provides a detailed and rich history of worker programs in Wisconsin, which led the nation in the area. An example of the professionalism in developing the site is the 1961 portion that has a photo of President John F. Kennedy delivering an Aug. 31 speech commemorating a 4 cent stamp to honor the 50th anniversary of the first workers compensation law passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. The text of Kennedy's speech is also available.
You might think that this project is a good example of our tax dollars at work and you'd be correct but only to a certain degree. What makes this Web site all the more unique is that it was developed through hours and hours of "off-the-clock" time and effort put in by several veteran state employees. For them, it was truly a labor of love.
The Web site we enjoy today is the extension of work started in 1983 by former department information officer Mike McCoy back when the agency was called DILHR, the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations. McCoy created an informative brochure looking at the history of worker issues through the 1970s as part of the centennial celebration for the agency that was created in 1883 as the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
McCoy's work remained the standard until two years ago when a renewed interest in the department's history surfaced. Janet Pugh, a librarian in the Administrative Services Division, started the Web project and designed the site, but she was reassigned to another project before she could complete it.
In April this year, Art Zoellner, the assistant to the administrator in the division, called in Jerry French with instructions to complete the Web site project.
"The first thing I did was get back to Janet to get caught up on what she had done," said French, the division's project manager. "With her help and Mike's brochure, I had a good start, but we needed a lot more, including photos and additional content."
When French put out the word for help, he received an outpouring of volunteers willing to share information and photos.
"This is an example of state employees who care about what they do and the department they work in," French said. "They came forward with information and photos because they were proud of what they helped the department accomplish over the years."
These veteran department employees provided the bulk of the additional research needed to complete the project. One of these veterans is Brian Krueger who works in the department's Worker's Compensation Division.
Krueger provided helpful insights into the workers compensation program. His efforts made the Kennedy section that much more interesting.
Al Jaloviar, an employee in the Unemployment Compensation Division, also added to the project. He supplied information about Paul Raushenbush, the author of a book about the state's unemployment compensation program.
Dianne Reynolds in the Division of Workforce Solutions provided information about early job service programs and offered an overall critique of the research. Jacquie Piraino, who works in the secretary's office, provided additional information about job services.
The Web site is a thorough review of worker programs, but it will help the agency move forward, French said.
"For one thing, it helps us with orientation when we bring in new employees," French said. "As is the case in many state agencies, we will be losing many of our senior employees in the next five to 10 years. It's important that we have this information to provide them with a sense of what these programs are and what they mean to the workers of the state."
But, it's the sense of pride shown by the many state employees who helped with the project that makes it special, French said.
"We believe that these employees represent the best in all of us, and they also represent the majority of state employees who are willing to go above and beyond what's required of them."
Other employees who helped with the project: Joan Larson, Division of Workforce Solutions; Jim O'Malley, Worker's Compensation Division; Suzanne Lee, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation; LeAnna Ware and Lynn Hendrickson, Equal Rights Division; Marty Shannon, Administrative Services Division; Peter Gottlieb, Wisconsin Historical Society.

Erik Benson: The Park
Friday, May 10, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every weekday between 5/2/2013 and 6/20/2013.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
Originally I was interested in creating a painting vocabulary that depicted the plasticity and temporality of unexamined things such as playgrounds and construction sites," says Benson. "These interests have been growing into ideas and concerns that deal with the urban landscape, such as how cities grow and shrink, and what these issues mean to the inhabitants."
In these vivid new paintings, Benson considers the role and impact of playgrounds, trees and parks within evolving communities, often setting the saturated colors and bold shapes of play equipment and dynamic tree branch patterns against the muted backdrops of the surrounding buildings. Inspired by his neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn, he creates works that are not precise representations, but rather archetypes, at once foreboding and optimistic.

My faith in our distant Nordic cousins has been mercifully restored by the arrival of Joel and Mikaela, a sweet couple from the northern pinelands of Mother Svea. They own a house on the level beneath us. Joel is a tall, slim, handsome older man with silver hair and a laid-back charm. His wife Mikaela is the archetypal Aryan beauty, a blue-eyed blond bombshell. Their warm and kindly disposition is a welcome respite from the grumpy old Danes next to us. They invited us in for tea. Their grand villa is a picture of understated Scandinavian chic. We chatted away for hours, a delicious smörgåsbord of wit and wisdom.

1956 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck - Classic CruisersWritten by on October 1, 2009 Original Owner... Well, Almost
When Dewey O. Richardson was 17 years old, a neighbor bought a new '56 Ford F-100. His father, Dewey F. Richardson, immediately fell in love with the neighbor's new addition. The very next week the two Deweys drove about 20 miles west of their home in Sacramento, California, to a small Ford dealership to make the purchase of a similar truck. To get the desired equipment and accessories the truck had to be ordered. Dewey's father selected all the options including a V-8 engine and Ford-O-Matic transmission, while Dewey got to select the color. The color he preferred was light green, but that was the color of the neighbor's new truck, so Diamond Blue became the choice.
It took nearly two months for the truck to be built and shipped to the dealer. At the time of delivery, when the paperwork was complete and the dealer had completely filled the tank with gas, Dewey's father handed him the keys to make the 20-mile trip home while his father followed closely behind. Both were a little nervous because Dewey had just recently obtained his driver's license.
After 23 years of use, the keys were again handed to Dewey by his 81-year-old father. Dewey drove the truck another 21 years before putting it in storage. In 2004 Dewey's wife suggested the truck, now referred to as "Blue Max," be restored in time for its 50th birthday in 2006. A frame-off restoration was started that summer.
After much help from family and friends, Blue Max was completed for its 50th birthday and in time to participate in the Hot August Nights show in Reno, Nevada. Blue Max was restored to near original condition, including the rebuilding of its 272 Y-block engine. The only alterations are the addition of power steering, a slightly lower stance with wider wheels, and a little added chrome. Dewey still has the original bill of sale; the total price including tax and license was $2,174.92.
If you have a classic cruiser and want to see it here, email at least six high-resolution photos and background info to the email address above, or mail prints to: Classic Trucks, Attn: Grant Peterson, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870.

Investors breathed a sigh of relief and pushed stocks sharply higher Wednesday after lawmakers agreed late Tuesday on a deal to avert the 'fiscal cliff' of tax increases and spending cuts.
Without a deal, automatic spending cuts and tax hikes would have gone into effect, threatening the economy.
The deal doesn't end the battle between lawmakers, as Republicans have vowed to revisit more aggressive spending cuts as the need to boost the country's $16.4 billion debt ceiling looms in February.
Still, the agreement ends months of hand-wringing by investors who have feared that a failure by lawmakers would cause serious economic shock at a time when businesses are still slow to hire and profit growth is starting to sputter.
Without clarity on what tax hikes or government spending would be in 2013, companies and investors were unable to make accurate forecasts about the near-term future.
Investors around the world didn't wait for trading to start in New York to celebrate the news.
Stocks around the world started 2013 with hefty gains.
"Investors are trading with a sense of relief after lawmakers in Washington agreed on a compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff that has been the dominant theme in equity markets since the Presidential elections back in November," said Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at stockbroker Interactive Investor.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares jumped 2.3%, its first foray above the 6,000 mark since July 2011. The CAC-40 in France rose 2.2% while Germany's DAX was up 2.13%.
Earlier, in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shot up 2.9% to close at 23,311.89, its highest finish since June 1, 2011. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 surged 1.2% to close at 4,705.90, its best finish in 19 months while South Korea's Kospi jumped 1.7% to 2,031.10.
"Cynics will point out that another argument has been booked in for two months' time, when the debt ceiling comes up for debate, and Republicans will be looking to make progress on the spending cuts that haven't featured in the New Year deal," said Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG.
Investors will also keep a close watch on any response from the credit rating agencies. After a fight in Congress to raise the debt limit in 2011, Standard & Poor's lowered the U.S. government's AAA bond rating, citing the lack of a credible plan to reduce the federal government's debt. It also voiced its concerns about the "effectiveness, stability and predictability of American policymaking."
Meanwhile, investors will be monitoring the state of the global economic recovery and Europe's ongoing battle to contain its 3-year debt crisis.
How the European economy fares over the coming months will likely hinge on developments in the debt crisis. In the last few months of 2012, tensions eased largely in the wake of the announcement of a new bond-buying plan from the European Central Bank.
"If the second half of 2012 is anything to go by it seems that on the back of central bank action investors are presently inclined to turn a blind eye to poor news and more likely to look on the bright side of events," said Jane Foley, senior currency strategist at Rabobank International.
That has shored up the euro over the past few months and Europe's single currency eked out further gains Wednesday as investor sentiment was buoyant in the wake of the fiscal cliff deal. When investors have a propensity to take on riskier assets, the dollar often loses ground. The euro was up 0.4% at $1.3243.
Oil prices also pushed higher, with the benchmark New York contract up 83 cents at $92.65 a barrel.

UPDATE (November 8, 2012) ATLANTA -- Denirio Cunningham was captured by the US Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Taskl Force on September 19, 2012.
Cunningham was staying with a girlfriend in Atlanta, according to Deputy US Marshal Eric Heinze. Heinze said they found Cunningham after receiving a tip through Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
A Clayton County grand jury indicted Cunningham, 20, and Joseph Harris, 23, on murder, burglary, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, criminal trespass and cruelty to children charges on November 7, 2012.
RIVERDALE, Ga. -- Denirio Cunningham is 11Alive's Fugitive of the Week for July 19.
Cunningham, 19, of Riverdale is wanted by Riverdale Police for murder.
Cunningham, also known as "D-Red", is charged with the murder of 25-year-old David Rucker of Riverdale. Joseph Harris, 23, of Riverdale is also charged with Rucker's murder. Harris is in custody in the Clayton County Jail, but Cunningham is still on the loose.
"Someone knows something about where Mr. Cunningham is and we're hopeful that we'll get a tip," Riverdale Police Chief Samuel Patterson said.
Rucker was shot and killed inside his apartment on Taylor Road on June 14. Rucker's wife and three children, ages 5, 4 and 1, were in the apartment when it happened.
Chief Patterson said Harris and Cunningham planned a burglary at Rucker's apartment but didn't think he or his family was home when they broke in.
Police said the two suspects climbed up on an air conditioning unit behind the second floor apartment and one boosted the other up onto a deck. One suspect went in through an open window and let the other suspect in the front door.
While the suspects were in the apartment, Rucker came out of a back bedroom and closed the door to protect his family.
"There was a struggle apparently to keep the suspects from going into the bedroom where (Rucker's) family was," Patterson said.
During the struggle, Cunningham shot Rucker once in the chest, according to Patterson.
"(Rucker's family) don't see what was going on, but I'm sure they could hear the scuffle and certainly they heard the gunshot," he said.
Police believe Cunningham could be in the Atlanta area or in Nashville, Tenn., where he has family. But Patterson believes someone here knows his whereabouts.
"Mr. Rucker was a family man, a husband and a father, and deserves to have justice for his murder," he said.
Cunningham joins a long list of fugitives on Rowson's Crime Scene as our Fugitive of the Week. Many of those fugitives have been captured because of their select status on that list.
If you know where Cunningham is, use the link to Crime Stoppers Atlanta for tips. You can call them anonymously at 404-577-TIPS(8477).

text: The brain police: judging murder with an MRI Magazine Feature 27 May 09 by Angela Saini Pictured above: 'Since childhood I was a dangerous type of mechanic' says Indian neuroscientist Champadi Raman Mukundan, who developed the BEOS test.People are being jailed after lie-detecting brain scans find them guilty. The science is flaky, but this is just the latest instance of neuro imaging being used to 'read' the human mind - and even acclaimed studies are now being challenged as spurious. To Judge Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi, sentencing her last June to life in prison, Sharma's electro-encephalogram left no doubt: the brain scan revealed "experiential knowledge" which proved that she had to be the killer. Her ex-fiancé Udit Bharati, a 24-year-old fellow student at Pune's Indian Institute of Modern Management, had been found dead after eating sweets laced with arsenic. And Sharma - who had eloped to Delhi with her lover, Pravin Khandelwal - had, according to the prosecution, returned to Pune and lured an angry Bharati to meet her in a McDonald's, where she had given him the poison. As the judge saw it, the proof was in the science. Sharma had manifested an undeniable "neuro experiential knowledge" of the crime - which the brain could acquire only through direct experience - when she had undergone a brain scan in Mumbai a year earlier. That day, July 25, 2007, 23-yearold Sharma waited while a technician squeezed conductive paste through a syringe into a small button on the red skullcap sitting tightly on her head. This was repeated for all of the 30 wires protruding from the cap, each making a connection between her brain signals and the blue electro-encephalograph (EEG) machine on the table behind her. An armed police officer waited in the corridor outside, where the air was thick with mosquitoes. Inside a windowless room labelled "Brain Electrical Oscillations Signature", it was a dry 18°C. The air-conditioning was on cool to ensure that the expensive equipment did not overheat. Cloaked in an oversized white apron to keep her warm, Sharma sat alone in a wooden chair, observed through one-way glass. A tape played a voice reading a series of statements in Hindi, each detailing an aspect of the murder as the investigators understood it. Sharma said nothing as the EEG machine measured her brain activity. For a while, the statements elicited no detectable EEG response. Then she heard: "I had an affair with Udit." A section of her brain previously dormant registered a brightly coloured response on the EEG. More statements followed and the voice on the tape each time elicited similar EEG responses: "I got arsenic from the shop." "I called Udit." "I gave him the sweets mixed with arsenic." "The sweets killed Udit." Throughout the test, she did not say a word. She didn't have to. As each statement was read, the EEG machine measured the frequencies of the electrical signals from the surface of her scalp and fed them through a set of rainbow-coloured wires into the room next door. Here a computer, almost five feet tall, performed a set of calculations and spat out its conclusion in red letters on to its screen: "Experiential knowledge". This meant knowledge of planning the murder, of getting the sweets, of buying the arsenic and of calling Bharati and arranging the fatal meeting. Guilty. Evidence from the scan took up almost ten pages of the judge's ruling when a year later, on June 12, 2008, he jailed Sharma for life - making her the first person in the world reported to be convicted of murder based on evidence that included a brain scan. "I am innocent and have not committed any crime," she implored Phansalkar- Joshi before he sentenced her. Even he, her lawyer said, had trouble believing that this small, calm, softly spoken student, from a respectable, middle-class family, was capable of killing. But science had spoken: and in the six months that followed, the same lab would provide evidence that convicted two more people of murder. Neuroimaging as truth teller had come of age. T he laboratory of the Directorate of Forensic Science in Mumbai has been running Brain Electrical Oscillations Signature (BEOS) tests on criminal suspects for two years. Business is good: when Wired visits, another room is being added to accommodate a second EEG machine, which sits covered in bubble wrap. "We consider the brain as a computer, where information is stored and can be retrieved," explains Sunny Joseph, the lab's 33-year-old assistant chemical analyser. The psychology department has two other staff members - both in their twenties, both rushed off their feet, with case after case being sent by the courts. "Referral rates have been really high," Joseph adds. "We do possibly 15 cases a month." A growing heap of brown-foldered case reports sit in the corner. The BEOS test was developed by the Indian neuroscientist Champadi Raman Mukundan. The software, Joseph explains, was designed by collating data from earlier research on memory and translating this into a set of 11 physiological variables. Mukundan's program uses the frequencies and voltages produced by an EEG - which measures slight fluctuations in brain activity caused by neurons firing electrical signals between one another - to determine the results of each of these variables. If all 11 are positive, then the statement being read out to the suspect is assumed, by Mukundan's theories at least, to be true. Mukundan, for one, sees no room for doubt: his 20-page patent application for an "Electronic Investigative Device for Identifying Truth", filed on Valentine's Day 2007, explains how it can be used "for investigation of truth from individuals who have committed an act of offence" by "advantageously utilis[ing] the experiential knowledge present in a subject's brain that elicits a bioelectric response". Aditi Sharma would have been told by police officers about the crime of which she was accused, Joseph explains, but unless she had in fact participated, the test would come up negative. That was because her memory of the crime was hard-wired in her brain as experiential knowledge. "We are sitting and talking here. This is an experience for me. This is an experience for you," Joseph says, pausing for emphasis between sentences. "Now you go and tell your friend. Whatever we discuss here, you can only impart knowledge of this experience. Your friend can never have this experience unless she comes and sits here. This is how it works." Confessions have been made in at least ten of the 75 or 80 BEOS tests so far conducted, Joseph says. Had other subjects also been accused of murder? "Yes, most of them murder, yes." He rotates in his swivel chair and looks at the brown wooden chair in the otherwise empty white room. "They are so, so relieved to be here. They're so happy to be here with us, because we're not scary. We talk to them nicely. Just imagine… You can imagine in India the way the police must be dealing with them." A colleague of Joseph's later points out that brain-imaging allows an overstretched police force to speed up the conviction process by eliminating innocent suspects from their enquiries and by corroborating evidence. That is why Mumbai is not the only Indian city to have invested in BEOS technology. The government's forensic science directorate in Gandhinagar, in Gujarat, has been using it since 2003 and has now tested 163 subjects in 88 criminal cases. Support came directly from India's chief forensic scientist, Dr MS Rao. "The technique has great potentiality to become an infallible tool in crime investigation," he wrote in a paper presented to the All-India Forensic Science Conference in January. "It can become a revolutionary technique like DNA fingerprinting if its evidential strength and judicial acceptability are established." A third such facility opens soon in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh. And if private enterprise has its way, courtrooms around the world will soon be convicting their own Aditi Sharmas based on brain-imaging evidence. Since last year, Cephos Corp of Massachusetts has been marketing what it calls "commercially available fMRI-based deception-detection services", based on software analysis of subjects' MRI brain scans (the "f" stands for the "functional" interpretation of the scans). In a study of 61 people, Cephos claimed better than 90 per cent accuracy in determining deception. In California, meanwhile, No Lie MRI charges clients $4,000 to $5,000 (£2,750 to £3,500) to conduct lie-detection tests (though neither firm would tell Wired how many it has sold). Although US and British courts do not admit brain images as evidence, both companies have ambitions in that direction. Steven Laken, CEO and president of Cephos, explained that a third of his "customers" are convicted prisoners seeking lie-detection evidence on which to base an appeal. He added that he was "confident" that lie detection evidence based on brain scans would one day enter America's legal system. No Lie MRI's CEO, Joel Huizenga, said that he hoped to open a series of brain-imaging centres in the UK - after which he would try to get the scans accepted in British courts. Meanwhile, defence lawyers in a current case in San Diego hope that a brain scan by Huizenga's company will prove that their client, an accused sex abuser, is innocent.

I love words that can take me into other worlds.
"A brillian listen"
These stories are wonderfully produced. Somerset Maugham isn't for everyone. His stories, now 75-80, were written in an era less respectful of different races. However, if you get past the irritating terms he uses to denote non-whites, you will see that his real contempt is for the pompous but so often stupid colonials who thought, simply because their country had claimed another, that they personally were rulers and that their worth was so much more than it was. Despite the unevenness of the stories (which knocked it down a star in my rating), Maugham never loses his deliciously scathing wit, razor-like intelligence, and acute eye for the wicked or ironic observation. Moreover, his stories offers a glimpse into a lost world. Having lived over a decade in Southeast Asia, I loved his ability to call up the steamy languidness of the tropics.
However, what makes these stories genuine delights, is the reader. Robert Powell is the master of any accent—and can do 4 or 5 characters at once, keeping each of their voices distinct. Truly a bravura performance that makes for a great audio-book.
"Gimlet eyed view of human folly & human compassion"
You can't go wrong. Somerset Maugham with his sophisticated understanding and emrace of the ambiguities of the human character. And a great reader. Savor . . .
"Very Smart and Enjoyable"
I have heard Robert Powell on other audiobooks and enjoyed his readings very much, and I had read other books and short stories by Somerset Maugham, so I felt that I sort of knew what I would be getting with this download. I enjoyed each story and Powell's delivery very much. I have been thinking if this title would be a good introduction to either this author or this reader to someone unfamiliar with both, and I think it might be. Maugham's writings straddle the popular/literary fence, and Powell is a wonderfully evocative reader. Anyone who enjoyed The Painted Veil would I think enjoy these stories, too.
"Far Eastern Tales (Unabridged)"
Spell-binding story-telling in the inestimable tones of Robert Powell.
"Evocative of the age but a bit depressing"
Somerset Maugham's a wonderfully observant writer and Robert Powell has a beautifully modulated voice and a superb grasp of accents, so I was really looking forward to this audiobook. The stories are certainly evocative of the age (1920s), the steamy Far Eastern locations, and the insulated British way of life in those colonial outposts. Unfortunately I found the themes in the majority of these tales to be rather depressing: loneliness, marriage break-ups, murder and cowardice. So although I found many of the stories interesting, I won't be listening to this again.
One star off immediately because the audiobook's been lazily chopped up into 1-hour segments, which makes it impossible to find the start of each story.
Held my attention throughout . Maugham is not read much now but his style is timeless

That is very slick.
Hey there,
three days ago I had an idea. I was playing around with javascript for my scrollable map and asked myself, if it's even possible to create a website with complete content on one page. After spending lots of hours with this I finally got the answer: yes, it is! And because I have not had a portfolio site, I've simply taken the opportunity with both hands! Why I post it here? Well, you'll see when you visit the page.
It is, let me say, some kind of a treasure map. One problem may be that the page does not run without javascript. Maybe I'll find an alternative solution. But for now, here it is: www.fantasy-cartography.com
Text is still missing, but will come soon. Oh, before I forget: this was my 100. post. Cheers!
That is very slick.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced
before Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers that left-handed pitcher
Jason Vargas will have surgery to remove a blood clot from his left armpit on
Vargas, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Friday, has gone 6-4
with a 3.65 ERA in 14 starts this season, his first with the Angels after
being acquired from the Mariners in an offseason trade.
The procedure will shut him down for two weeks before he's able to resume
throwing again, at which point he should build back enough arm strength to
return before the end of July.

Hi, all.
For those (probably few) of you who run Zimbra with SSL/TLS and Chrome: it seems Chrome is really strict about displaying SSL warnings when there's unsecured content on a page and this is something that customers tend to notice.
I suspect this is caused by all those links to zimbra.com. Is there some option for ensuring all links to zimbra.com use https, or a way to remove them altogether? Trying to hack my way through java code has been rather tedious because the warning is there even after you log in, so it's not specific to the login page.

Rank and organization: Ordinary Seaman, U.S. Navy. Born: 1833, New York,
N.Y. Accredited to: New York. G.O. No.: 45, 31 December 1864.
On board the U.S.S. Agawam as one of a volunteer crew of a powder boat
which was exploded near Fort Fisher, 2 December 1864. The powder boat,
towed in by the Wilderness to prevent detection by the enemy, cast off
and slowly steamed to within 300 yards of the beach. After fuses and fires
had been lit and a second anchor with short scope let go to assure the
boat's tailing inshore, the crew boarded the Wilderness and proceeded a
distance of 12 miles from shore. Less than 2 hours later the explosion
took place, and the following day fires were observed still burning at
the forts.

Now in its third edition, Project inspires a new generation of young learners. This means that its content is contemporary, but its structured approach to learning remains the same - and here's why:
Firstly, it meets teacher and student needs. Author Tom Hutchinson says, "A tremendous amount of research goes on behind the scenes... there's constant feedback from teachers who are using the course... lots of questionnaires sent out to teachers asking for their feedback... and I've also been out myself to observe a number of lessons in various countries". Thorough research means that the course addresses teacher and student needs in an extensive and effective way.
Secondly, students enjoy learning with Project. Songs and comics introduce an element of fun into the classroom, and projects promote learner autonomy for students of all abilities. The material is interesting and appealing for students, making the teaching experience more enjoyable for you too.
Finally, pedagogy is at the heart of Project. Consistent vocabulary and grammar teaching encourages students to practise language in context. CLIL and Culture sections broaden your students' learning experience, as they use new-found language to explore a range of topics.
