Isn't it time they just all come clean?
Record books asterisk-skewed beyond recognition

Do you ever wonder just what in the heck you're watching exactly when you witness some wild or amazing feat of athleticism? Is it worth the price of admission, or are they giving you counterfeit money in change when you're at the ticket window? You watch Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire late last century in a seesaw battle to see who can supplant Roger Maris as the single-season home run king, then finish that season on top, holding that record all to themselves. The iconic number 61 of Maris goes down to McGwire in 1998, then is passed again by Sosa, and McGwire finishes the celebrated campaign with a new unheard-of record of 70 home runs. Sosa goes on to eclipse the hallowed 61 of Maris three times in a four-year span, but fails to lead the majors in home runs in any of those three seasons as McGwire connects for 65 in 1999, and Barry Bonds gets in on the act with a new record of 73 during the 2001 season, when Sosa went deep 64 more times. Begrudgingly and much, much later, McGwire admitted to performance-enhancing drugs to speed up his assault on perceived baseball immortality, though Sosa and Bonds, who broke into the majors weighing a speedy 165 and 185 pounds, respectively — about the same as a pair of prep cornerbacks — seem unwilling to admit to anything that would taint career numbers that include a freakish total of 1,371 home runs. We all have our own ideas about Bonds and how 30 franchises somehow found him unemployable a year after swatting 28 homers and leading the league in both walks and on-base percentage. Cooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame aren't going to be calling Sosa anytime soon either following Slammin' Sammy's 65-pound increase in body weight during the latter portion of his career, a corked-bat infraction and that incalculable sneeze that was so mighty it landed him on the disabled list with a lower back sprain. You watch Lance Armstrong beat cancer, then win seven consecutive Tour de France cycling titles. It's exciting. Then Lance bullies everyone who breathes a word about PED rumors, aggressively defending his fraudulent empire every time a witness brings up an episode of blood doping or the variety of ways Lance covers his ample tracks. Years after all of the fanfare, the yellow jerseys and all the French-model welcoming kisses in photo shoots following each individual stage win, Lance fesses up to Oprah Winfrey. It was all an illusion ... smoke and mirrors ... what many of us suspected along the way. Now that his legacy is burnt toast, all the victories are being repossessed and a company called SCA Promotions is willing to go to court to recoup the $12 million it paid Lance's U.S. Postal Service teams for three of the Tour de France victories. Seems Lance had sworn under oath that no PEDs were involved during the wins in question. Now we know differently. Hit him where it hurts. I hope the company can win back its ill-gotten cash if for no other reason than to show current or future PED abusers that consequences can be harsh in the court of public opinion as well as in the court that decides eight-digit judgments. Now if we could just find a little transparency in NFL testing, we might solve two problems at once. If HGH is removed once and for all, perhaps the players who are artificially bigger, faster and stronger will slow the concussion rates that have alarmed so many in recent years. And level the playing fields ... in every sport. It beats a Cooperstown induction when no one is enshrined. -----

How;s it going for you up there in Maine, lambert?
Down here in northern NJ suboonia it's quiet right now. stil just below freezing, as it's been alll day. Initially we had light snow, which built up, then in early afternoon it became wetter and heavier. I went out for a prescription, and just after running inside, waiting just a few minutes and coming back out, there was at least a half inch of new snow to be brushed off.
Actually, it's quite beautiful, but the tall pines are bending low already. I don't know what's in store, as they keep saying the freezing line is moving northward, then back southward, which will affect how much snow falls.
I missed the evening weather report and it's not clear whether we're going to get the high winds or not. A guy at the grocery store said the storm had been downgraded and wouldn't be as bad as predicted.

MIRCScripts is an information website where you can learn more about all local contractors in the USA. Before starting work with a particular home remodeling contractor customers are recommended to perform an integrated investigation which includes checking the license number, bond status, insurance and contact information of a contractor. It may appear quite difficult for an ordinary householder to find such data himself, and that's the reason we have created MIRCScripts! Here you can get all public information concerning the contractors dealing with home remodeling as well as the information from Better Business Bureau and state license boards. We offer you the detailed data on contractors' profiles - please check our directory for that. It will help you take the right decision and to choose the right service provider.
Our website has detailed information regarding all contractors providing home remodeling services like flooring, roofing, HVAC, drywall, decks & porches, insulation, bathroom and kitchen renovation etc. We also provide information about painting, home security and plumbing companies. Using our website you will easily find a qualified and reliable contractor for your needs. The majority of home improvement contractors you may find in our database are small companies specializing in home remodeling and maintenance.
MIRCScripts.org undoubtedly provides you with a lot of useful information that is located in our local contractor directory including contact information, bond information, licensing, insurance information of contractors and may other data we still suggest you checking everything yourself once again and via different sources before hiring a contractor. MIRCScripts.org is a great place to start your personal research but when you finish with preparing a list of several best suitable contractors - please, check other websites including local state license board site as well and try to gather as much information as possible
The best information about local remodeling contractors you can get from your relatives and friends - they will say the very true and honestly tell you about all advantages and disadvantages.
Contacting a contractor you are advised to ask whether they can provide some references and recommendation from past customers. It would be great if you have an opportunity to check their previous work yourself, especially if you are looking a contractor for a large and long project like, for instance, roofing.
Before signing the project it would be reasonable to get from a contractor all details in writing - specifications, payments schedule and blueprints. Try to ask for all relevant information you may need.
Online reviews like Yelp and Angie's List can be very useful as well.
Avoid paying all money in advance. The majority of credible contractors easily agree for some prepayment with later incremental payments. We also suggest you paying the last part - for example, 10% of the total sum - after the project is finished and you have carefully checked everything.
There are a lot of different price packages depending on a level of service, however some basic elements are always included into each package. Without a doubt, a tree needs to be chopped down. In many cases the specialists will have to climb the three are cut some branches in order to make a tree better prepared for safe removal. Usually such service is included into a price package. Anyway, we have prepared a complete guide for you so that you could ask a contractor if they offer such service included or on a paid add-on basis. Our guide will certainly help you find the best tree removal service according to your needs.Read More
The price of mold remediation services is the main factor which directly influences customer's decisions. Without a doubt health and safety of family members is much more important than price - there are at least 7 reasons to be afraid of mold - but it's still good to know how much such a service may cost and if it's affordable for you. Some solutions can be really affordable or even free - for instance, if the area covered with mold is small and you can remove the mold yourself. You may check out five useful tips on mold removing. In order to avoid inhaling mold spores you could use a respirator that costs about $120-150.Read More

I know this is not the most appropriate place for such a question, but as this forum is most popular, I hope to get answered here.
I started translating ZCS 8.0.2 into Slovenian language and faced few problems, so advice is appreciated:
1.) Regarding file AjxMsg_sl_SI.properties - there seems to be some keywords, which AJAX interface is using to properly respond. For example, if it recognizes "Forwarded message" or string "today", it then acts accordingly. So this file is to be translated with caution, because it can affect behavior of Web user interface.
Am I correct?
2.) After I translated 3 main files:
- AjxMsg_sl_SI.properties
- I18nMsg_sl_SI.properties
- ZmMsg_sl_SI.properties
some numbering changed badly. For example:
- Check for new mail frequency in drop-down is now every 2.000 minutes, every 3.000 minutes etc
- Calendar reminder dropdown to, will remind you 15.000 minutes before appointment
Any suggestion, where did I fail?
3.) And real ADMIN question:
How to reload translation quickly in ZCS 8.0.2 or later versions, without doing full zimbra services restart (zmcontrol restart)?

I tried to migrate my old system from 4.5.4 GA on CentOS 4.4 32 bits to 4.5.7 GA RHEL 5(64 bits) on cluster. After consulted with professonal ppls, here are the suggestions I have.
Because 4.5.4 GA doesn't support RHEL 5(64 bits), I can't restore from 4.5.4 GA CentOs(32 bits) full backup to 4.5.4 GA on RHEL 5(64 bits) by following the wiki Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server.(not - ZimbraWiki recommanded) After that, I can just perform a 4.5.7 GA upgrade on RHEL 5(64 bits) then. But seems it's a not recommanded way to do.
The safe way I can perform is "IMAPSYNC" which is I am doing right now.
My questions are
1. Is the method provided above(not imapsync) really not working? I should go with imapsync only?
2. Base on current release Zimbra have, there is no cluster option on RHEL 5. What kind of fail-over/cluster option I can use here? Can I follow someone's post by implemeting heartbeat?

This is a photograph of 102 Whalley Road, Clitheroe, Lancashire. It was the home of my granddad and nannie – Fred and Florrie Musgrove. Although they lived in other houses in Clitheroe this is the only one I ever knew.
I don't know if the photograph gives an accurate impression of size. There are four floors – a cellar with two rooms and a door leading to the back garden; ground floor with a front parlour, living room and kitchen; first floor with two bedrooms; and second floor with a further two bedrooms.
The house always seemed to have a warm and cozy feel. I remember my granddad sitting in his armchair next to the coal fire. My mother recalls the front bedroom on the first floor also having a fireplace and coal fire but doesn't think any of the other bedrooms had fireplaces.
Whenever I think of Fred and Florrie I remember them at 102 Whalley Road. However the original address was 26 Russell Street – the name changed sometime in the 1930's.
The house was built probably early 19th century. The block of numbers from 90-110 are now Grade II listed buildings – they were listed in September 1976. The listing text on the British Listed Buildings website comments briefly on number 102 – the doorway to No. 102 has plain pilasters, cornice and entablature.
Looking back at the census returns I can see who lived at 26 Russell Street:-
• 1911 – William James Heyes, a cotton weaver, his wife and six children plus two of his wife's sisters
• 1901 – Richard Bridge, a fire beater at the paper works, his wife and their ten children
• 1891 – James Hargreaves, a block cutter in the print works, his wife and five grandchildren
• 1881 – Mary Dewhurst, working at the paper mill, and her sister Ann
• 1871 – Mary Dewhurst, working at the paper mill, and her sister Ann. Also Thomas Hargreaves, a plasterer and slater, and his wife and son
• 1861 – Thomas Dewhurst, a machine calico printer, and his two daughters Mary and Ann
• 1851 – Thomas Dewhurst, a machine printer, five children, three grandchildren and a son-in-law
These houses are now probably close on 200 years old and will no doubt be standing for many more years.

text: I owned a Lyman case trimmer and it was absolute junk. Half of the caliber heads didn't fit in the trimmer shaft. Also the lock rings wouldn't stay locked. After this I bought a RCBS and had zero troubles. There is a reason why Lyman is cheaper than most of its competitors.

I am in the process of fitting a pair of Lowa Tibets, and finally on the third try (from Zappos) I believe I've found a great fit. The next piece, I would like to order some "replacement" laces.
I have a high instep, and thick calves, so my boots tend to lace up pretty "wide". As a result, I have minimal lace left for the knot. I can get the knot ties, but an extra 3" to 6" of lace on both sides would be nice (6" to 12" total). The pair of Lowa Tibets I have come with what looks like an 84" long lace (unstretched), so I would like to replace that with something like a 90" to 96" long laces.
This got me thinking, when I have replaced my laces in the past, I typically end up with an inferior lace that I am really not happy with. I'd like to hear what you guys like for a quality "replacement" lace.
Also: The Lowa Tibets have a lace lock just above the lower lacing, so I assume the lace diameter should be fairly close in diameter to the original lace for that to work properly.

With all of Roger Federer's recent struggles (not decline, I don't think), even Rafael Nadal thinks someone else is the No. 1 player right now: Novak Djokovic. In an interview after his 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over James Blake, his second in a row over his American nemesis, the Spaniard said,
I think Djokovic is the No. 1 right now [...] He's a very good player. I am No. 2, so my position doesn't change. And Federer, he's not far away from the top. Roddick is still there, too, so for me not much changes.So I guess that makes Fed a solid No. 3 in his mind? Sorry Rafa, but I would put you there before Fed. But I agree, Nole has been playing like the world's top-ranked baller for sure.

1970 Dodge Super Bee Part 2 Exclusive Photos! - That's Not a Good ThingWritten by on October 20, 2011 Contributors: Daren Irons For the full story, check out January 2012 issue of Mopar Muscle magazine
If you're following along with Super Bee Project, you saw us do some repair to the Dutchman panel in the January 2012 issue. Once again, we had so many pictures that we were not able to fit into the magazine so we decided to bring them to you here.
Like we said in the magazine, overall, we were more than satisfied with the fit and quality of the replacement panel. Now, that being said, if you did read the article in the magazine, you saw that we did have some fitment issues. Keep in mind, the car is more than 30-years old, and it's hard to say what kind of life it might have encountered over the years. We weren't sure if the situation we encountered was caused by the car or the replacement panel, but regardless, it was easily overcome. Keep in mind, this is rust repair/body work, nothing ever goes as planned.

Depending on your skill level, this job can be accomplished in a day, but even if you don't feel confident enough to do it yourself, it's always good to know how your repair needs to be made.Although not noticeable from the outside, there is rust at the area where the Dutchman panel meets the rear window opening. The only to properly fix it, it to replace it.Removal of the old panel was easy. Simply take a die grinder or other cutting tool, and roughly cut out the old panel.Once the majority of the panel is removed, finish removing the remaining pieces of the panel by drilling the spot welds out.Previously, I said we ran into a situation, and here it is. Where the replacement panel meets the panel, the pieces didn't come together as nicely as we hoped. Again, these cars didn't just fall together when they were new, and variances on the assembly line could mean that any replacement panel will not fall into place on every car. This was a minor discrepancy that was fairly easy to fix.The slice we made on the replacement panel allows us to close the wide part of the gap between the panel and the Dutchman panel, but now we have to contend with the gap we made by cutting. The reason we did it this way is because our cut can now be welded and smoothed. Since the joint between the two panels is visible, welding the seam in this area can ruin the body line.Once you're happy with the fitment you'll need to finish-weld the panel in place. Unless you have a huge pinch welding-machine, you'll need to improvise. We drill holes in our new panel every couple of inches, and simply fill-weld them to attach the new piece.

1) The front entrance was absolutely ugly and looked more like a side alley.
2) The hallways are very confusing with literally no attention paid to giving good directions.
3) The overall feel was not very welcoming in the hospital.
4) The ED department was extremely small.
5) Hand sanitizers were placed closed to elevators which doesn't sound like a good solution.
6) The waiting room is not family centered at all. The seats are all in a row which is also very bad for the spread of diseases.
1) To give the rooms an overall better feel for the children, a personal computer with games and various basic softwares could be installed. Today's kids often play a lot of computer games so it should be helpful.
2) Allowing pets (if possible) into the rooms would also give a much better home feel.
3) Music is another thing that children are very much interested in. Providing music selections would help.
4) Improve the look of the lobby area.
5) We could do a flow analysis by shadowing the nurses and doctors to find the optimal location to place the hand sanitizers.

I Don't Understand Record Store Day
Record store day celebrates the analog in all of us. What are your record store memories?
Tomorrow, April 21, is the official Record Store Day celebrated by people who work in record stores and the smaller group of people who remember shopping in them.
I remember shopping in record stores in the early 80s when I was in middle and high school. It was a short bike ride from my house to the Palmer Park Mall near Easton Pa. The record store at the mall, called something like Listening Booth Records, was pretty typical, dominated by what was popular at the time—heavy metal hair bands, pop music and rap. Being mostly a punk rock fan, I had only about four-square feet of stacks to look at, and most of it was old catalog stuff. When bands in that category released new music, it didn't show up there unless it was one of the bigger names like the Dead Kennedys or Black Flag. To get new music I had to go to shows and buy records from the bands themselves or drive to Catasauqua (a little place near Allentown) that had an independent record store called Mad Music (or something close to that). That place also sold t-shirts, music zines and skateboards—altogether a cool place to hang out.
During my music formative years I probably bought more cassettes than LPs because cassettes played in my boombox, Walkman and car stereo. My experiences with vinyl were often disappointing—skips right out of the package weren't uncommon. I remember returning one record about four times before I finally gave up and figured there were just some songs I was destined not to hear. By today's audiophile standards my turntable was a piece of junk, so maybe that was part of the problem.
Of course, much of the nostalgia and celebration of record store day now is about the stores, not the records. Record stores of yore were supposed to be places you could talk about and learn about new music, where you could make discoveries and spend an afternoon flipping through rows of cool stuff.
Sure, I remember that. I remember the uninterested sales staff at the chain record stores. I remember the elitist attitude of the sales staff at the independent record stores. I remember driving to locations and finding nothing of interest because my tastes weren't top 40.
Now I get 99% of my music from download sites or streaming (Yay Sonos). I'll occasionally order a physical CD from Amazon and sometimes pick up used vinyl from yard sales or vintage shops. I learn about new music from the recommendation engines in the online music stores, from hearing new music on Pandora and Slacker or from the Youtube posts of my Facebook friends. I'm exposed to several times more new music now through those resources than I ever was browsing in record stores. And frankly, the new model works better for me.
Of course there are many brick & mortar business that have as much or more value than their online counterparts. You can't get dessert on a Friday night from an online ice cream shop. The in-person experience is crucial when shopping for quality AV gear. And I wouldn't buy a fly fishing rod without making some practice casts in a dealer's parking lot. Shopping for music is a different story.
Now I don't want to be a whiner, but I'm not finding that much to be nostalgic about. I don't hate records or turntables (I own a turntable and use it occasionally) or even record stores. I just don't understand why they deserve some made-up holiday? Do we need a special day to celebrate every business category that wasn't able to keep up with changes in society and technology? Will we one day have a Commercial Theater Day because quality home theaters and 4K downloads have put crappy megaplexes out of business? What about Cable TV Day for some time in the future when the Internet has buried the Comcast cable model. I can't wait.

Configure Ethernet-based Virtual Functions on VMware ESXi 5.1*
As data centers deploy more virtualized servers to consolidate infrastructure and reduce TCO, providing scalable networking performance within a virtualized environment becomes a significant challenge for IT administrators. The Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X520 and Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540 families support industry-leading features that are accelerating the performance and implementation of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a virtualized environment.

Fashion is notorious for its ebb and flow. Like tides that turn, trends will come, but then they go. And though every once in a while, waves are made by this or that, one style seems to stay afloat, unsinkable above the rest of the pack. As resilient as a buoy bobbing amidst the violent seas. And as trusty as a glowing lighthouse on a dark and stormy night. As if to say "Ahoy, there! Yup, still here! And I'm not going anywhere."
We're of course talking about the nautical trend. (Please tell us you were able to figure that out. If not, maybe brush up on those similes and metaphors?) What began as a naval uniform in nineteenth-century France has evolved into the most classic of styles, a look that is decidedly all-American but not without some European sophistication, one that is simple yet elegant, clean but elevated, and though strong, still graceful.
Not only does nautical never go out of style, it's also super easy to wear! You don't actually have to go to sea to look like you belong on the deck of a yacht (and we don't mean cleaning it). You can skip the motion sickness (dramamine, anyone?) and still feel like you're being swept away on an ocean-bound vacay just like that. For your viewing pleasure, we've put together some nauti outfits using key pieces from our collection. So put on your proverbial life jacket and come set sail with us as we explore the nautical trend. We'll have you in shipshape, solo at the helm, in no time at all.
1. Basic Surplice Romper, 2. Cross It Off Heels, 3. Striped Nautical Anchor Earrings, 4. Embellished Nautical Bracelet Set, 5. Nautical Stripes Anchor Watch, 6. Flared Faux Leather Handbag
1. Stripe A Pose Strapless Skater Dress, 2. T-Time Strappy Platform Pumps, 3. Wheel N Anchor Earrings, 4. Capsule Key Pendant Necklace, 5. Boxed Faux Pearl Charm Bracelet, 6. Ready For This Jelly Wallet
1. Retro Striped Bikini Set, 2. Let's Play Flare Denim Skater Skirt, 3. Strap-tastic Faux Cork Wedges, 4. Oversized Beach Totebag, 5. Dainty Faux Pearl Midi Ring, 6. Rounded Sunglasses
1. Chambray Will Make You Jump Romper, 2. Wide Cuff Zippered Heels, 3. Canvas Striped N Quilted Bag, 4. Framed Anchor Earrings, 5. Heart 2 Heart Necklace, 6. Heads Up Knit Beanie
1. High-Waisted Polka Dot Bikini Set, 2. Vintage High-Waisted Skinnies, 3. Nautical Canvas Espadrille Loafers, 4. Knotted Bow Earrings, 5. Enameled Anchor Cut-Out Ring, 6. Faux Leather Striped Anchor Watch
Inspired? Here are some tips for creating your very own nauti outfits…
1. Stripe a nauti pose! Stripes, stripes, and more stripes. Not much more has to be said here. Because really, nothing says nautical like some red, white, or blue stripes. And speaking of color…
2. Color me
bad nauti! Those nautical colors are so iconic that as long as you wear red, white, and blue together you'll look like a nauti girl. Super easy, right?
3. Be a nautical print-cess! In addition to stripes, nautical prints like anchors, ropes, boats, fish, lighthouses, and even lobsters can make for a cute and slightly cheeky outfit. Just keep the rest of your look clean to highlight the pattern and pump up the sophistication.
4. All aboard! Likewise, anything having to do with sailing will evoke the nauti vibe. An anchor accessory would be an obvious choice, but you could also do a play on ropes. Anything knotted or braided like a cord necklace or twisted belt would do the trick. Also, pearls! Not only do they come from the sea, but their elegance matches the nautical style perfectly.
5. Role play! Think about occupations that go to sea and the elements of their everyday uniforms. Fisherman's hats, sailor hats, knit beanies, wader pants, trench coats, rain boots… The list goes on and on. You can also take a page from the pinup era – red lips, big curls, high-waisted shorts – to add a little femininity to your seafaring look.
6. But don't go overboard! When there's a theme involved, you can easily venture into costume territory. Keep your look cool, clean, and contemporary by building around one or two strong pieces. Wearing a gold button blazer? Maybe leave that captain's hat at home. After all, you're not really gonna be manning a ship. But we bet you'll look good not doing it!

Quantum mechanics is usually associated with weird and counterintuitive phenomena we can't observe in real life. But it turns out that quantum processes can occur in living organisms, too, and with very concrete consequences. Some species of birds, for example, use quantum mechanics to navigate. Last year we talked to physicists Simon Benjamin and Erik Gauger, and found out that studying these little creatures' quantum compass may help us achieve the holy grail of computer science: building a quantum computer.

Hi. Id like to change the mouth piece for my atomic B2 regulator. What size would it be on a seacure hi-flow custom mouth piece? Thanks!
What snorkels would this fit on? For 8yr old who is in-between kids and adult size snorkel.
Hello Ang, the snorkel I would suggest for this mouthpiece which you would need the type II is the http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-39/039507/Ocean-Quest-Pacific-Totally-Dry-Snorkel.html.
Hi have an Apeks Reg and on Seacure site it says type 4 fits yet you suggested type 2 to another Apeks owner??? Which one will fit?
SeaCure Custom Mouthpiece
Introducing the new "X Type" Model with "Bite Limiter" for better molding & more comfort!
Made in the U.S.A.
THE ULTIMATE DIVING MOUTHPIECE – THE RESULT OF 20 YEARS in the moldable mouthpiece business! SeaCure was created by an orthodontist, is guaranteed to fit YOU – PERFECTLY and is the only moldable "and remoldable" mouthpiece offset for both the upper and lower jaw positions.
Now available in NEW SIZES to fit Apeks, Poseidon and rebreathers!
The new and improved X Type SeaCure Custom Mouthpiece offers a totally new X shaped profile, which significantly reduces bulk, virtually eliminates gagging and improves molding by earlier engagement of the teeth during closure. The new X Type also includes an improved one piece molding and sealing attachment. The attachment is used in the molding process and then to keep debris out of the regulator. It now provides a NEW bite limiter which eliminates the possibility of over closure during the heat molding process, thereby preventing reduced air flow during diving.
About SeaCure Mouthpieces
Divers using SeaCure Custom MouthpiecesSeaCure mouthpiece was invented by orthodontist and TMJ (jaw joint) expert, Dr Randall Moles. Back in the early 90s, he had a TMJ patient who asked for his advice. She was a diver and was having major problems clenching the standard regulator mouthpieces while diving without bad jaw pain and headaches. But she loved to dive! What could she do? Dr Moles began to work on a moldable mouthpiece that would "hang on" to the teeth without the constant clenching required by the standard mouthpiece. It worked for her and she was very grateful. And, it has "worked" for thousands of divers since. Many divers do not know what is giving them headaches on dive trips, and once they are using a SeaCure, they no longer have them. Even divers without a jaw problem find a SeaCure mouthpiece to be very, very comfortable. They also find it to stay in with no effort at all, even, we've been told, while asleep!
SeaCure has improved on the original design with several models over the 20+ years, the newest being the X Type.
Electromyographic Test Results
Electromyographic tests of divers in the laboratory using both conventional and SeaCure Custom Mouthpieces showed that significantly less muscle effort was required to retain a SeaCure mouthpiece with regulator in the mouth than was needed to retain a conventional mouthpiece/regulator unit. Result: incredible comfort. See the Electromyographic Test Results here.
SeaCure Custom Mouthpiece Design Concept
Conventional scuba mouthpieces currently on the market all employ bite lugs which involve only the front teeth and must therefore use the front of the jaw to retain the mouthpiece/regulator unit during diving. In addition, all conventional mouthpieces use an extremely flexible material in order to adjust to all the various configurations of teeth and jaws required by the "one-size-fits-all" concept which, until now, was the entire mouthpiece market.
SeaCure Mouthpiece, being moldable, cannot only perfectly fit every individual mouth but can actually enter the mouth all the way to the rear of the jaw employing all of the diver's teeth. The result is that the large rear teeth and tremendous mechanical advantage of the back of the jaw can now be employed to retain the mouthpiece/regulator unit during diving, greatly reducing the required muscle effort. In addition, because the SeaCure mouthpiece has to fit only one mouth, it can be constructed in a much more sturdy design allowing transfer of the regulator/hose load to the rear of the jaw. Because it is not as flexible as conventional mouthpieces, SeaCure greatly reduces gum abrasion.
The significant reduction in muscle effort required to retain the mouthpiece/regulator unit while diving has been confirmed with electromyographic tests. Test data are available which indicate a reduction of muscle effort in the range of 33% to 59% depending upon the individual diver.
Because of its more rigid design, the SeaCure mouthpiece requires slightly more effort to place it on the regulator. Once the regulator ridge is seated into the groove designed inside the SeaCure orifice, accidental separation from the regulator is extremely unlikely.
Complete molding instructions which have proven totally satisfactory for individuals to mold the unit themselves are included with each unit. The general concept is that a scissors is used to trim unnecessary material from the unit to fit the size of the specific mouth/jaw. Then boiling water is used to soften the mouthpiece bite wings only, to allow molding to precisely fit the individual's teeth, gums, and jaw. The unit is REMOLDABLE so that if not at first satisfied, or dental work changes the bite, it can be remolded and adjusted to accommodate the changes for comfort.

Pence not hurt when state SUV hit in crash
INDIANAPOLIS — Authorities say Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's state sport-utility vehicle was hit in a crash Thursday, May 2, but the governor was not injured.
Pence spokeswoman Christy Denault says neither the governor and nor any of the other passengers required medical attention following Thursday morning's accident, which occurred in downtown Indianapolis as Pence was heading to a bill signing ceremony in Fort Wayne.
Denault says Pence got into a different state vehicle after the accident and was on his way to Fort Wayne.
State police Capt. David Bursten says the governor's Chevrolet Tahoe was struck after a driver ran a stop sign near an entrance ramp to Interstates 65 and 70.
Bursten said the driver was cited for failing to stop and both vehicles were towed.

This model exemplifies the use of the Rotating Machinery interface, which allows you to model moving rotating parts in, for example, stirred tanks, mixers, and pumps.
The Rotating Machinery interface formulates the Navier-Stokes equations in a rotating coordinate system. Parts that are not rotated are expressed in the fixed material coordinate system. The rotating and fixed parts need to be coupled together by an identity pair, where a flux continuity boundary condition is applied.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Is peewee football too early to wonder about concussions? Maybe not: A major report says far too little is known about the risks in youth sports, especially for athletes who suit up before high school.
And it's not just a question for football. The Institute of Medicine found no one knows how often the youngest athletes suffer concussions or which sports have the highest rates. Nor is it clear if better headgear ever will help.
The Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council on Wednesday called for a national system to track sports-related concussions and start answering those questions.
Despite a decade of increasing awareness of the seriousness of concussions, the panel found young athletes still face a "culture of resistance" to reporting the injury.

A Message for Military Medical Students
Are you interested in surgery? Even a little? We invite you to consider what is available at Wright-Patterson Medical Center. We think our program is one of the best-kept secrets in Air Force Graduate Medical Education. And once you hear what we have to offer, we think you'll agree.
Wright-Patterson is partnered with every major hospital in the Dayton area to form the Wright State University School of Medicine (WSUSOM) Integrated General Surgery Residency Program. The other member hospitals are Miami Valley Hospital (a Level I trauma center), Good Samaritan Hospital, Kettering Medical Center, Children's Medical Center of Dayton (a pediatric trauma center) and the Dayton VA Medical Center. Each facility brings a different perspective to the residency and, as a military resident at Wright-Patt, you're sure to rotate at least once at each one. This integrated design to our training exposes our residents to a great variety of clinical approaches to surgical care. No "inbreeding" here. Best of all, our residents never really lose cases to downtown referrals. If a case can't be done at Wright-Patt, you or one of your fellow residents at another hospital in the city will likely do it.
Also, unlike several other Air Force training programs, you can receive all of your training here in Dayton. There is no need for you to travel somewhere else to get experience in, for example, trauma or transplant surgery. Of course, if you want to take a rotation elsewhere to get additional experience in an area of particular interest, it can always be arranged.
But how good is the training at Wright-Patt? We recently obtained full accreditation for five years (the longest interval allowed) and there were no major or minor citations. This places the Wright State program in the top 10 percent of surgery programs in the country. Our residents have scored as high as 98 percent on the annual in service exam and our "first time pass rate" for both American Board of Surgery examinations combined is 75 percent, well above the national average.
Our graduates are highly competitive. We have sent graduates on to fellowships in all specialties, including cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, colorectal surgery and vascular surgery. They have been accepted into such programs as the University of Oregon (plastic surgery), the University of Michigan (cardiothoracic surgery), and Baylor University (vascular surgery). In fact, every one of our graduates who has applied for a fellowship within the last four years has been successful in gaining a training slot.
What if you're interested in research? Well, you can arrange up to six months of research activity during your training if you want to. Setting up a research year is harder, but it can be done. And if you're interested in clinical research, since we are part of a civilian university, there are always a number of ongoing projects that you can get involved with whenever you desire.
About the only thing Wright-Patt doesn't have is great geography. We're in southwestern Ohio, about halfway between Cincinnati and Columbus. We don't have beaches or mountains, but it is a great place to raise a family. Around the area there are amusement parks, professional sports teams, outdoor recreational areas, and cultural events. And even though you'll be in training in a highly demanding profession, you're still likely to have some free time to enjoy it all. Our program's goal is to train you well, not kill you with "scut" work.
Additional information is available through this site and on the Wright-Patterson Medical Center web site.
If any (or all) of this sounds appealing to you, we'd love to hear from you. And since we'd love even better to meet you, we'd be more than happy to help arrange a rotation or interview trip for you as well. We'll not only tell you about Wright-Patt, but we'll take you downtown to meet the Wright State folks, and likely even get you lunch in the process.
Remember, interested residency applicants must also be accepted by the WSU School of Medicine Department of Surgery as well as the military GME Selection Board. We can help you with the process.
Please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Michelle Fullard, residency program coordinator; Maj. Brandon T. Grover, assistant residency program director; or me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions.

Little known in the US, Spidi is a major motorcycle safety innovator in Europe, releasing the first wearable airbag for bikers way back in 1999. Now seen as the next big step in safety gear for racers, Alpinestars and Dainese are actively developing sophisticated systems capable of using gyroscopes to detect big crashes, then deploying airbags to prevent neck injuries. Spidi just beat both its major competitors to market, albeit with a much less high-tech solution.
Like the original DPS 01, Spidi's new airbag is worn over traditional
jackets or leathers and is activated by a lanyard attached to the
handlebars. Crash, separate from bike, pull cord, inflate airbag,
bounce down road on a cushion of air. In the last 10 years, the DPS bag
has gotten slimmer, lighter and more efficient, now inflating with two
CO2 cartridges for faster response. It's also now compatible with race
The problem is it has the same problems the system's always had; namely
high risk of accidental inflation, the inability to self-inflate if the
rider doesn't separate from the motorcycle in a crash and unpredictable
results upon inflation. Because Spidi relies on a lanyard to set off
inflation, it's easy for riders to forget to disconnect when
dismounting while life-threatening impacts could go unmitigated if the
rider remains in a lanyard's reach of the bike. The violent inflation
of the bag could also exacerbate injuries if it goes off at the wrong
time or even after the accident is all done with.
It's those issues in which Alpinestars and Dainese are investing
millions of Euros researching, developing detailed sets of data about
what happens in a variety of crashes both on- and off-track and thereby
developing airbags that will inflate predictably in the right
circumstances. Until we've seen racers crash in those 'bags, we'll be
sticking with our tried-and-tested quality leathers, expensive helmets
and hefty back protectors.

About 10,000 students at 146 schools across Michigan will soon have access to laptop computers or other wireless technology.
The grant program called "Learning Without Limits" was announced Tuesday.
Michigan Virtual University President and CEO David Spencer says the program is one of the nation's largest. It's supposed to be the first step toward providing laptops to all K-through-12 students in the state.
Wireless computers don't require the installation of computer stations or the use of cords and wires. That makes it easy to begin using them even in school districts with aging buildings.

ATA reports seasonally adjusted tonnage is up 3.6 percent in February
March 20, 2014
Despite ongoing harsh winter weather conditions, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) reported today that trucking volumes in February still saw some gains.
Seasonally-adjusted (SA) truck tonnage in February rose 2.8 percent, following a 4.5 percent (revised from 4.3 percent) decline in January. The index was at 127.6 (2000=100) compared to 124.1 in January and was below the all-time high of 131.0 in November. Compared to a year ago, the February SA was up 3.6 percent and on a year-to-date basis SA tonnage is up 2.3 percent.
The ATA's not seasonally-adjusted (NSA) index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment came in at 116.5 in February, down 4.5 percent from January's 122 and up 2.6 percent annually.
As defined by the ATA, the not seasonally-adjusted index is assembled by adding up all the monthly tonnage data reported by the survey respondents (ATA member carriers) for the latest two months. Then a monthly percent change is calculated and then applied to the index number for the first month.
"It is pretty clear that winter weather had a negative impact on truck tonnage during February," said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello in a statement. "However, the impact wasn't as bad as in January because of the backlog in freight due to the number of storms that hit over the January and February period. The fundamentals for truck freight continue to look good. Several other economic indicators also snapped back in February. We have a hole to dig out of from such a bad January, but I feel like we are moving in the right direction again. I remain optimistic for 2014."
As previously reported, Weather aside, many shippers and carriers indicate that things are moving along as expected when viewing the market on a seasonal basis.
But they concede that such atypical weather patterns are making an imprint on supply chain operations, with far more contingency and capacity planning being required than normal.
While volumes are seeing modest annual gains, truckload capacity continues to be tight, and there is a sentiment among industry stakeholders that indicates that situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.
"While adverse weather is partially masking freight activity 1Q14-to-date, our due diligence indicates underlying freight activity is stable, which, combined with regulatory constraints, is resulting in unusually tight capacity and firming spot rates," wrote KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Todd Fowler in a research note. "While we expect weather to increase maintenance and fuel costs and potentially negatively impact utilization in 1Q14, we believe sustained tight capacity is shifting pricing leverage to carriers during on-going bid negotiations and should favorably impact contractual
rates in subsequent quarters. In addition, we believe capacity dynamics could further tighten in coming weeks as weather-related backlog clears and spring and produce shipment activity kicks into full swing."

About this font family
From the standpoint of calligraphy, a font family of capitals and uncials makes perfect sense. The Roman square capitals, the quadrata, are matched by round capitals of older Greek origin; the word "uncus" means hook-shaped like a beak or talon. Interrelated and often interchangeable, these capital letters served as book hands for both the Latin West and the Greek-speaking East before they evolved into minuscule alphabets. The Testament family is based on the few formal capital manuscripts of the Bible, Virgil and Homer that have survived from the ancient world. More…

Pets: Helpless victims of Hurricane Sandy
(Page 2 of 3)
Calabrese added that after the snowstorm just nine days after the hurricane, more people came in as temperatures dropped. "They were going to the Red Cross shelter, and they couldn't take pets there," she said. "Others found hotels or stayed with family members where they couldn't take their animals."
Pet owners could visit their animals regularly at the shelter, and many came to walk them and spend time with them. The facility was staffed with offsite staff, rescue, medical and quality-control personnel from NSALA. "Anyone we could spare," said Calabrese.
It's such a relief to have a place for the dogs to be cared for where I know they're safe," said Susan Odery, who brought her children and their friends to visit their dogs, Genevieve and Juliet. The Oderys, who had lost their home and most of their possessions when Hurricane Irene struck Long Beach in 2011, were not spared the wrath of Sandy. "Everything on the first floor was destroyed," said Susan. "Two years in a row, we lost so much."
All in all, 517 animals came and went through at the Mitchel Field emergency shelter, which is still open and houses 17 dogs and 27 cats that are still separated from their families.
Orphans of the storm
From Oct. 28 to Dec. 5, nearly 400 animals were brought to the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, many of them strays that shelter employees found on the streets or pets that were surrendered by owners who were displaced by the storm. Working closely with the Humane Society of the United States, shelter employees conducted search-and-rescue missions and cared for the stray animals as well as the pets.
"The shelter staff's commitment and professionalism was an essential part of our successful operation," said Brian Shapiro, New York state director of the Humane Society, " … which saved the lives of dozens of companion animals affected by the storm."
"I'm very proud of our entire staff at the Hempstead Town Animal Shelter, as they are receiving the recognition they so rightfully deserve," said the facility's director, Cynthia Iacopella, after the Humane Society presented the town with a citation. "It is very much an honor for us to be recognized by the Humane Society of the United States."

I am planning on drawing maps for all 32 of 'P3: Assault on Nightwyrm Fortress' encounters. This is a 4E D&D module published by Wizards of the Coast. I am making these for NGordian, who will be using the maps in MapTool. The maps will be made from scratch using the GIMP and resources downloaded from the intergoogleweb, particularly from this forum and the Dunjinni forums. All maps will be at a scale of 100 pixels per grid square and 72 PPI.
This is a WIP thread - so I am looking for advice on improving the maps.
EDIT: Finished maps are here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...861#post186861

I may need to do some work on the purple wyrm corpse (yes, that is what it is supposed to be) if it makes people laugh. It's supposed to be scary. In this map I have attempted to use complementary colour triads only (purple/green/yellow-orange) and I will use a complementary triad on map G2 to try to give the Gloomdeeps a coherent look. The scheme may be a bit lurid, however.
This map is unfinished.
EDIT: the stalactites are awful (they are the round green things). Does anyone have any advice for decent stalactites? Also I should probably put the grid up over the mushrooms, as these are not supposed to be difficult terrain.

Oh ... those are stalactites? I thought ... "cave lotus!". Hmm. Nope, can't say I have a good solution ... maybe adding a bit of perspective to them? Or just making it a "bump" in the ground?
Add a shadow to depict it, from the glowing lightsources in the room. I use shadows to depict structures, furniture and other map features all the time. A stalagtite could be more easily displayed with some shadow extending from it.

Just gonna poke in with a bit of pedantry - stalactites are those rocks which "grow" from sediment-infused water on the ceiling, while stalagmites are the ones formed from the same water dripping onto the floor below. An easy way to remember is that stalactite contains a "c" for "ceiling", and stalagmite contains a "g" for "ground".
The maps look good though

I have a couple of customers who in the past had "Catchalls" enabled on a different system. Now since we moved these people the spammers are still hammering these accounts with massive dictionary attacks. This leads to smtp timeouts. Meaning all available connections get used up. (Catchalls are NOT being used now as they are evil things) :)
What I know about these attacks.
1. They send about 20 messages going up through the alphabet from a unique ip.
2. It pauses and then about 5 seconds later another 20 come in from a different IP. (It picks up alphabetically from where it left off even)
3. This goes on until about 100,000 or so messages are sent. Then it goes away for a while and then starts over again.
I am seeing smtpd connections taking a while to release. This leads to timeouts and retries from external mail servers.
I can't obviously block based on IP because it appears they have a unlimited amount of IP's to use.
On other systems I employed tarpitting as so. After 8 consecutive connections per ip the subsequent connections are "slowed" down to 10 secs per connection. This seems to work real well.
I don't really see anything out there for tarpitting with Postfix and greylisting is not a option.
This is becoming more and more typical. This type of dictionary attack. So has anyone came across this and what did you do to mitigate it.
EDIT:: I found this .. I am going to play with it

Comparison of algorithms to calculate quadratic irregularity of prime numbers
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
In previous work, the author has extended the concept of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields , using the values of the zeta function at negative integers as our ``higher Bernoulli numbers''. In the case where is a real quadratic field, Siegel presented two formulas for calculating these zeta-values: one using entirely elementary methods and one which is derived from the theory of modular forms. (The author would like to thank Henri Cohen for suggesting an analysis of the second formula.) We briefly discuss several algorithms based on these formulas and compare the running time involved in using them to determine the index of -irregularity (more generally, ``quadratic irregularity'') of a prime number.

Here are some images from Ana Ivanovic's latest photoshoot for sponsor Verano.
There must be someone standing off-camera holding a gun forcing Ana to wear these horrid clothes, hold those shopping bags, and making her pose when she clearly needs to pee (see pic directly below), right?
Someone please help this girl...or go get NaturAna at the very least.
UPDATE: Here's the full story from next month's Vogue issue featuring NaturAna called "Ace Interrupted". A couple of observations, if I may -
1. Manager Dan Holzmann describing the Serb: "She's more Michelle Obama than Paris Hilton." Uh, either one is a stretch. Let's keep it in tennis and say more Kim Clijsters than Serena Williams.
2. Why do people (read: NaturAna) keep confusing "fierceness" with "mean"? Steve Tignor is quoted as saying, "I don't know if she can really dominate the game. I don't know if she has the fierceness to do it. Ana is more motivated by the joy of playing." I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this sentiment. Her response? "I am tough on the court. But I don't think you have to be mean to win. In the past, we have had some very nice number-one people. Look at Steffi Graf." Well, yes Steffi was nice and not mean. But she was fierce on the course as was, and is, every dominant top baller or great champion. It's not about being mean NaturAna, it's about having heart, grit, and intensity on every point in every match. You simply don't have that quality.

Despite the bad styling and, ahem, fashion Ana's beauty still shines through. I think her makeup looks great. You'd think that a shopping mall could at least get the clothes right.ReplyDelete
That's the best East-Euro styling I have seen in quite a while! ;)ReplyDelete
Ana still looks great though and the last outfit doesn't even look half bad imo...
NaturAna tops all but let's be honest, we've seen waaaaaaaaaaay worse. Allison is right her natural beauty shines through.ReplyDelete
What's verano?
No doubt she's looked A LOT worse. I just hate the whole thing, it looks cheaply done.ReplyDelete
Verano Motors distributes Peugeots in Serbia.
I don't think the outfits are that bad. But it really creeps me out how she manages to look like a completely different person when glammed up.ReplyDelete
As for the fierceness: Totally Rich! She may not know the difference.
Also: Does she really think fist-pumping your opponent's UE right in their face is not mean? :D
Ana is still one fine piece of culo folks! I think she looks smokin hot, just my humble opinion. Hey, Rich is Tatiana retiring? If so, Maria Kirilinko and Anita are my new favoritas! Peace out.ReplyDelete

My Company is using ZCS paid version.
Last time we had experienced serious duplicate emails (reached 40k and keep sending) to recipients.
What Zimbra support told me is to upgrade the ZCO to the newest version.
After few months later, the same problem re-occurring but only 2 to 5 emails duplicated sent our recipient.
I've Contacted Zimbra support and they ask me to upgrade the ZCO again but at the end the problem still there.
The support then ask me to recreate the profile and delete the ZDB, everything I've done and still not solve the issue.
Now I got nothing update from support team.
I feel that Zimbra sucks when I first look at this immature product and had so many compatibilities issue.

LeBron James Draws Controversy for Police Escort to Jay-Z Concert
Four-time NBA MVP and two-time NBA champion LeBron James has drawn controversy for the preferential treatment "King James" was recently shown by the Miami police.
A video posted by James shows Miami-Dade police escorting the Miami Heat star and his fiancée Savannah Brinson to a Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z concert at Sun Life Stadium on Aug. 16.
The video shows James and his fiancée in a car following a police escort on the wrong side of the road. The brake lights of other cars sitting in traffic can be seen on the right hand side of the video.
James wrote on Twitter shortly thereafter, "They treat us so well! Needed it cause traffic was nuts!!"
The video sparked controversy both within the police department and among the public, according to CNN.
Miami-Dade Det. Alvaro Zabaleta told CNN that police supervisors were contacted by stadium personnel, who had received a call that James was stuck in traffic. An officer was dispatched to the basketball star's location while others held traffic in the oncoming lanes. Zabaleta said the escort covered eight blocks, or "from one intersection to another."
However, the escort violated department policy, he said.
"We don't have our units ever go against traffic," Zabaleta told CNN. "The officer shouldn't have done that. But he didn't flagrantly say, 'I'm not going to worry about it'. He did stop traffic for eight blocks. And that was the end of it."
Or perhaps not, as Miami-Dade officials are continuing to look into the incident.
James made headlines again a few days later for a less serious matter, when he was spotted on a tour in the Philippines with a new haircut which has left him nearly bald.
