Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - With essentially the same roster that
captured their second World Series title in the last three years, the San
Francisco Giants are optimistic 2013 will be another special year.
The Giants started spring training with 21 of the 25 members from the World
Series squad that swept the Detroit Tigers in last year's Fall Classic and
brought the fifth NL pennant back to the Bay Area.
Outfielder Hunter Pence was acquired from Philadelphia in a late-season deal
and will begin his first full season with San Francisco. Pence proved to be a
source of inspiration to his teammates despite not producing eye-popping
numbers in the playoffs and is excited to try and make it all work again.
"I'm energized," Pence said. "When you win a World Series, there are high
expectations, but at the end of the day, we just know what we're capable of.
We're going to do everything we can to give it that same run."
San Francisco, which missed the playoffs in its first title defense,
dispatched the Cincinnati Reds in five games in the NLDS, only after falling
behind 2-0 in the series. Surprisingly, both losses were at AT&T Park and the
Giants were forced to advance on the road.
A subsequent seven-game marathon with the St. Louis Cardinals punched San
Francisco's ticket to the World Series, where they met the hard-hitting
Tigers. Pitching was key in that series for the Giants, whose rotation will
have the same faces in Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum, Ryan
Vogelsong and Barry Zito. Lincecum struggled in the regular season, but was
the ultimate team player coming out of the bullpen in the playoffs.
Despite one rough outing at St. Louis in the NLCS, Lincecum's long hair flowed
and his image as a dominant pitcher was restored. Lincecum will be back in the
rotation, but is sporting a new hairstyle. The right-hander's once-popular
locks are now gone, as he sports a Clark Kent-type coiffure. Whether the short
hairdo will have the same affect on Lincecum as it did with Biblical hero
Samson remains to be seen.
The Giants should be pleased to hear that the two-time Cy Young Award winner
declared himself ahead of schedule, as opposed to last season when he was
trying to lose weight and get his legs back into shape. Lincecum, who
struggled to a 10-15 record and a 5.18 earned run average last season, worked
on his delivery and believes his follow-through will be imperative to success.
While pitching rose to the occasion in the playoffs, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy feels the offense will hit more home runs in 2013 than the MLB-worst 103
homers recorded last season.
"Make no mistake about it: I like home runs. I like power," Bochy said. "I do
think we'll hit more home runs this year, to be honest."
Besides a strong case of optimism, Bochy still doesn't exactly pinpoint where
the power surge will come from. Glance over the roster and the usual suspects
pop put: Pence, Pablo Sandoval, reigning NL MVP Buster Posey, Angel Pagan and
Brandon Belt. Posey is coming off his award-winning campaign in which he
clubbed a team-best 24 homers and drove in 103 runs. There should be no
drop off of power for Posey, while Sandoval entered camp a bit overweight.
Sandoval vowed to drop a few pounds before the regular season commences and
Bochy basically said he has no choice.
The Giants were flying high with All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, who was then
busted for performance enhancing drugs and is now with the Toronto Blue Jays.
He was having an MVP-type season until a 50-game suspension and finished the
year with a .346 batting average, 11 homers and 60 runs batted in. The Giants
proved they didn't need Cabrera anyway as evidenced by their title run.
By re-signing a few key pieces to last season's success, a strong rotation and
hope for more power at the plate, expectations remain high for the Giants.
Below we take a capsule look at the 2013 edition of the Giants, with a
personnel evaluation and prognosis included therein:
2012 FINISH (94-68) - First Place (NL West)
KEY OFFSEASON ADDITIONS: OF Andres Torres, INF Tony Abreu, RHP Sandy Rosario
KEY OFFSEASON SUBTRACTIONS: 1B/OF Aubrey Huff, C Brian Wilson, OF Melky
Cabrera, 1B/OF Xavier Nady
PROJECTED LINEUP: CF Angel Pagan, 2B Marco Scutaro, 3B Pablo Sandoval, C
Buster Posey, RF Hunter Pence, 1B Brandon Belt, SS Brandon Crawford, LF Gregor
PROJECTED ROTATION: RHP Matt Cain, LHP Madison Bumgarner, RHP Tim Lincecum,
LHP Barry Zito, RHP Ryan Vogelsong
PROJECTED CLOSER: RHP Sergio Romo
MANAGER: Bruce Bochy
The defending champion Giants led the league in runs scored when runners were
in scoring position, but then again finished dead last in home runs. Small
ball can get the job done, but an occasional run of power can ignite any club.
Optimism will run high only if the Giants can stay healthy. That means Posey,
Sandoval, Pence -- the three power hitters in the lineup -- have to play at
least 140-150 games. Posey, of course, is the pick of the litter for his
youth, size and strength. He appeared in only 45 games in 2011 because of a
devastating ankle injury, only to play in 148 last season. He has played in at
least 108 games during the World Series runs.
"If you look at what he's done with the pitching staff and in the middle of
the order, sure, he can pull a lot of weight," Giants GM Brian Sabean said of
Posey. "Baseball's usually not like that. But he's close. There's no doubt
he's our franchise player."
Posey, who will grace the cover of Men's Health in April, took over after the
All-Star break, batting .385 with 14 homers, 43 runs, 60 RBI and a .456 on-
base percentage.
Pagan, Belt, Marco Scutaro and Andres Torres, who's back for another stint
with San Francisco, will be valuable assets to the bating order. Belt is a
prized prospect in his third season with the Giants, while Pagan re-signed to
a four-year deal in the offseason and Scutaro inked a three-year pact. One
issue for the Giants will be left field. Gregor Blanco has more power, but
Torres is a switch-hitter and can hit left-handers.
Along with some clutch hitting and a few players getting hot at the right
time, the Giants' rotation has helped the club win two of the last three World
Series as well. All five starters made at least 30 starts in 2012, with rising
ace Matt Cain leading the way in earned run average (2.79) and strikeouts
(193). Cain, of course, threw a perfect game along the way. He sustained a
bruised right knee in spring training, but that shouldn't have any bearing on
his Opening Day start. Cain was asked if he would be able to repeat a season
in which he went 16-5 in 32 starts with two shutouts.
"Obviously, you don't get that many opportunities to pitch a perfect game,"
Cain said at the end of last month. "Then, starting the All-Star Game and
winning. A lot of things went really well. To repeat that, it's asking a lot.
You can't be mad if you come up short."
While Lincecum is putting a rough regular season behind him -- 10-15 with a
5.18 ERA in 33 starts -- the question is whether veteran left-hander Barry
Zito will have an encore campaign. Zito, left for dead after coming up short
on a big deal he signed with the Giants, turned it on late in the season and
compiled a 15-8 mark and a 4.15 ERA in 32 appearances. He made his paycheck
count by going 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in three postseason starts, including a
Game 1 victory in the World Series.
Mix in improving youngsters Madison Bumgarner and Ryan Vogelsong, and San
Francisco clearly has the best rotation in the NL West. However, if one of
those arms were to go down, the Giants will be pulling teeth to find a
replacement. If that happens, Sabean will be scrambling to find a deal. The
Dodgers' five-man corps isn't too shabby and is highlighted by Clayton
Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Josh Beckett. Vogelsong will get some work in with
the United States at the World Baseball Classic.
There's not much to write home about when it comes to those riding the bench
alongside Bochy. Joaquin Arias can play both positions on the left side of the
infield, but shortstop is occupied by Brandon Crawford and Pablo Sandoval is
at the hot corner. A reliable utility man, Arias stayed in shape in the
Dominican league and agreed to a one-year deal with San Francisco in the
offseason. He began last season as a non-roster invitee to spring training and
hit.270 with five home runs and 34 RBI in 110 games.
Catcher Hector Sanchez, who will see time behind the plate when Posey "rests"
at first base, showed some pop in 74 games last season, hitting .280 with
three homers and 34 RBI. But is this the year Brandon Belt breaks out? Belt,
in his second year at the major league level, appeared in 145 games and
registered a .275 batting average with seven home runs, 47 runs scored and 56
RBI. Belt was selected in the fifth round of the 2009 MLB draft and hopes his
strong second half last season carries over. The sky's the limit for Belt, who
can also play the outfield when first base is occupied.
Belt provided some early mudslinging in regards to the Dodgers' spending spree
in saying "All I can say is, you can't buy chemistry." Chemistry is what
sparked the Giants to the World Series and their bench played a major role.
Can it happen again? Will injuries force Bochy to use his reserves on a more
constant level? We shall see soon enough. The jury's still out on
infielder/outfielder Brett Pill, a highly touted draftee back in 2006.
Andres Torres is another wild card for Bochy and is glad to be back. He became
a free agent when the New York Mets declined to tender him a contract on Nov.
30. Torres now has to work behind Gregor Blanco, Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence.
X-FACTOR: BULLPEN: San Francisco's X-factor this season is its bullpen,
especially closer Sergio Romo. Romo ran into some trouble in the offseason. He
was cited and briefly detained by police on New Year's Day at McCarran
International Airport in Las Vegas after arguing with authorities. But all
that is over with and Romo can go back to doing what he does best: saving
games for the Giants.
It's still a possibility the Giants could bring back former closer Brian
Wilson, but why waste the time? Romo is younger, throws harder and is coming
off a solid campaign. Romo went 4-2 with 14 saves and a 1.79 ERA in 69 relief
appearances last season. He also allowed just one earned run in 10 2/3 innings
over 10 playoff games, including three saves in San Francisco's four-game
sweep of Detroit in the World Series.
Jeremy Affeldt and Santiago Casilla can spell Romo at times in the closer's
role, while Javier Lopez, George Kontos and Jose Mijares have earned a spot in
the experienced-laden bullpen, which ranked eighth last season with a 3.53
ERA. A handful of others were invited to spring training, but only a few will
have the honor in taking over for a talented rotation.
The Giants seem to be the underdog to win the NL West for how much spending
the Dodgers have been doing. The defending champions have been counted out in
each of their two World Series runs, so this should come as no surprise. With
chemistry aplenty for San Francisco, health and consistency are key. Both the
rotation and bullpen are solid from top to bottom. Hitting doesn't seem to be
an issue either unless injuries rear their ugly head. Posey, Pence, Sandoval
and Pagan are the clear-cut leaders of the offense and will be responsible for
setting up the starting pitching with runs. Pitching will always be key in
keeping up with Los Angeles and it shouldn't be much of a task in 2013.
Another postseason appearance is in the works for the gritty Bochy.

Comments about ... Barn Favor Box (8-pack):
These were used as party favor boxes for my son\'s 2nd bday party and they were perfect!!! I filled each one with a pencil, animal stamp, bubbles, lolly pop and a farm animal coloring pad/crayons and there was still a little more room to add if needed. Very good quality and everyone loved them!

subset: commoncrawl


text: From those pictures, it looks like he has 6 on his left beam and 5 on his right beam, no 2nds on either side and it looks like his 5th on the left side is a little short. Definitley a nice bull, but if he doesn't have 2nds on either side and his 5th on the left is short, I don't think he makes 370". He's got good Royals and really nice whale tales, but I think he's 350ish.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Food and Drug Adminstration is cracking down on companies that market supplement pills as a treatment for concussions or other traumatic brain injuries.
The FDA wants all consumers to know that all such claims are false. The agency is concerned that people will try to use these pills to help recover from concussions without getting the proper care.
Concussions should be diagnosed, treated, and monitored by a health care professional. In December, the FDA issued a warning letter to Star Scientific, Inc., for false marketing. The company claimed it's product, Anatabloc, can treat traumatic brain injuries.

Bringing the Rain
After 10 innings and two homers, the Royals secured the series finale in Tampa. They left the Rays only to find themselves staring down the White Sox, another first place team, back in Kansas City.
John Buck and Mike Aviles provided a little pop to seal the win late yesterday as the Royals return home after 3-5 trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand at Kauffman, as we welcome the White Sox to town for the first time this season. The Mariners will also make their first visit this weekend before the team takes a break and Joakim Soria leaves for New York (Jose Guillen can join him, if you help).
It poured for a little while today, flooding both bullpens and making the field nice and soggy. But the grounds crew is still working on it and we expect to play baseball. To break down the week that was and will be, let's go Around the Horn…
Happy birthday John Buck. Buck should turn 28 everyday, with his three-run game winner in the 10th yesterday. Mike Aviles added some insurance directly after Buck and the Royals captured a three-run victory.
Buck also got to hang out with some of our troops before the game. The U.S. Military All-Stars were invited by the Rays to take batting practice at Tropicana Stadium. When the Boys in Blue saw them, they started chatting and some, like Buck and manager Trey Hillman became the Boys in Camo.
The USMAS shagged balls during the Royals batting practice and took several pictures with the team.
The USMAS with some of the Royals.
First Base Coach Rusty Kuntz chatting with some of the USMAS team.
Jose Guillen and Third Base Coach Luis Silverio.
If you haven't yet, you should Vote for Jose. And Mike. And Jose again.
Joakim Soria is the Royals All-Star representative. But with Major League Baseball's Final Vote, you can help Jose Guillen make his first All-Star appearance while representing Kansas City in the Big Apple.
Each league has five candidates up for the 32nd spot on the All-Star squad and fans have until Thursday afternoon to vote. There are two ways for fans to vote in the 2008 All-Star Game Final Vote — online now at MLB.com, or on-the-go from their cell phones. Fans also can text the word "VOTE" to 36197 to have the All-Star Final Vote candidates sent to your phone. To vote for a specific player, simply reply with your choice. In Canada, fans should text the word "VOTE" to 88555. Standard rate text messaging rates apply — please check with your mobile carrier for details.
Guillen is also up for the June Clutch Performer of the Month presented by Pepsi. Mike Aviles is also up for the June MLB Rookie of the Month presented by Gillette.
Mark Grudzielanek is five hits shy of 2,000 which he should be able to accomplish this week, although he's not in the lineup tonight. He has a .371 home batting average (3rd best in the American League) and has a .313 overall batting average (which is in the top 10 in the A.L.)…Mike Aviles broke out of a slump to go 3-for-5 yesterday, with his fourth homer of the season and 11th multi-hit game in only 30 career games…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-game press conference: Yesterday's dramatic win takes some of the sting out of the road trip, after splitting with Baltimore and running into a the Rays who boast baseball's best record…On Joakim Soria: He was excited about his All-Star recognition and applauded by his teammates; Hillman said he's done some miraculous things in his short career and deserves the honor…Also of note: Mark Grudzielanek is still a little sore and his body needs another day so he will sit tonight which might prove to be an even better move depending on the field conditions after today's downpour.
Remember this weekend is the "Hats off Weekend" with a hat giveaway each game. Also the Royals will be donating part of the ticket sales to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
Friday night is the Royals cowboy hat giveaway sponsored by at&t and donations will go to the Red Cross. Saturday, it wouldn't be Christmas in July without Santa hats sponsored by MLB 2K8 and ticket proceeds going to the Salvation Army. During both of these nights, Infield View Level tickets will be on sale for $12 with $5 going to that night's selected organization to help with the severe weather relief efforts going on in the Midwest.
Finally Sunday is the "New. Blue. Tradition." Royals visor. All giveaways are limited, so make sure we see you out at the K early.

Rachel loved to cook, socialize, travel, attend the theatre and dance. She cherished family gatherings and was known for her Christmas cheesecake and beautifully set dining table.
Rachel was always fashionably attired and very particular about where she shopped. She only wanted the best, which she deserved.
Rachel shared her love freely and had a special bond with her god-daughter, Annette Jenkins and with Tony Worthington and his family.
Rachel's strength and faith in God never wavered and she was of great encouragement and inspiration to the family during her illness. She quietly slipped into eternal peace and rest on Dec. 13, 2012.

To the editor:
First, thank you to Carole Moore for the very nice thank-you card. Carole, keep writing and I�ll keep reading.
I am proud to be the football and basketball announcer for Northside Monarchs football and basketball games. For those who couldn�t attend the Northside and Southwest football game, you missed a good one. Both teams were well coached, the players played hard and, more importantly, the fans were treated to a great game and showed great sportsmanship.
Lastly, as head of the Regalwood Community Watch, I would ask the folks using Piney Green Road and wanting to turn left onto Country Club Road to please leave a little earlier or find a different route versus using our neighborhood as a turn-around to catch a green light quicker.
I know to some it doesn�t seem that important, but for those of us who live in the neighborhood, we worry about the three-point turns you make and the traffic you tie up.
The widening will be done soon; until then, please respect the people who live in Regalwood.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Nate Robinson registered game highs of 24
points and 13 assists to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 100-94 win over Milwaukee
in a preseason clash from the United Center.
Richard Hamilton added 23 points and Joakim Noah posted a double-double with
16 points and 12 rebounds as the Bulls stopped a two-game slide and evened
their preseason mark at 2-2.
With Chicago up 34-32 early in the second quarter, Nazr Mohammed dropped in
eight points during a 15-0 run that gave the Bulls a 17-point advantage.
Chicago would never trail from that point on, though a 7-0 spurt capped by a
Beno Udrih jumper brought the Bucks within 92-89 with 4:32 left.
Milwaukee would not get any closer, however, and suffered its first loss
following back-to-back victories to start the preseason.
Brandon Jennings, Samuel Dalembert and Mike Dunleavy all finished with 13
points for the Bucks, with Dalembert grabbing 10 rebounds in defeat.

|Pitching with Pritch
Pass the holiday time with bowl games
By Larry Pritchett
Another great week for sports fans as the College Bowl Season is being played and there are a number of outstanding college basketball games being played. It is tough to get little things done like going to work, but I still seem to find time to watch a few games here and there. You throw in some pro-football games and you have a full day and a much fuller weekend. I don't think I could handle it if I liked to watch professional basketball.

The Attache weighs a modest 55g (37% lighter and 15% thinner) so your alpine rack doesn't feel like a ton of bricks, and the 3D shape retains this carabiner's versatility so you can take it from high peaks and big-wall climbs to sport routes. The keylock system and fluid gate design mean less catch on slings and webbing.

Best ultralight full size locker
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
'nuff said. Pair it with a GriGri2 for a lightweight heavyweight combo.
my all time fave locker
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This thing is like a fine Italian sportscar.
- thoughtful machining on the screwlock sleeve makes unlocking it easier if it's locked up tight
- helpful red indicator when unlocked, which especially stands out against the yellow color of the body
- keylock nose, which I wish was standard on all biners
- feels super light weight
my fav. locker
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
super light, feels super solid, cool red indicator to let you know if you're not locked.
excellent but pricey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love how resistant and light this biner is. It is very compact but spacious. It is very light and feels as if it will break, but trust me, it is resistant. Minus one star because it is way too pricey.
Super light locker
This carabiner is super light, lighter than most other lockers I have ever seen before. it has a very unique shape about it. I would mainly use it for anchors, not belaying. I like the fact that i can see whether it is locked or not based on the red coloring near the screwlock. Definitely not the strongest or burliest, but a Great carabiner.
Sport Route Perfection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
After looking for locking carabiners that were both lightweight and fit through the chains on a sport route, the Petzl Attache 3D fit perfectly. The only problem I have found with this carabiner in particular is the screwgate mechanism to be slightly loose when locking and unlocking the carabiner. Overall, this carabiner works perfectly for finishing a route and having to anchor at the end.
Not terrible but not perfect...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This thing has a tendency to unlock REALLY easily making it more dangerous than other lockers on the market. I prefer something with a tighter screw gate and this is rather expensive in the scheme of things. Also, it is on the bigger side making it clumsy at times.
I'll give it 3 stars because Petzl is one of my most favored companies but that's pretty much the only reason.
Not my favorite
From an engineering standpoint, these things are sweet. I-beam stock, reduced weight on the gate and lock, and they look sweet. However, in practice, i find myself reaching for other biners for belay or all purpose use. For belay, it's not as smooth as a regular Attache, and doesn't feel as solid. I mean sure, it's strong enough, and I trust it, but there's something really comforting about the thick, round stock of an Attache on belay. There's a noticeably greater amount of rope drag over the I-beam cross section, and it's just not as fluid to use. If you're a serious weight weenie, maybe it's worth it, but I'd rather pay the weight penalty and have a smooth operating biner that feels beefier. It's durable though, and the gate and screw are ridiculously smooth.
Oh yeah, and it's quite a bit more expensive.
Love it but watch it
This thing is exactly like they say, super light, functional and stylish but WATCH the screw gate, it comes undone easily.
Is this the biner for you?
Think about what you will use this biner for. My other lockers are large (Petzl William) so I wanted some smaller, lighter ones for trad and sport.
Like: High quality, light weight, red stripe, easy to handle.
Don't like: The threads are too smooth (easy to flick open/close accidentally), Not round (adds too much friction when using with a belay device in "guide mode").
Overall, they are OK for my needs, but I don't love 'em. I wouldn't carry just these biners.
A few issues, but great otherwise
I've had two serious issues with this carabiner. First, it seems to try to get cross-loaded more often than other 'biners. That lead me to abandon its use as my belay 'biner. Second, the screw action is too smooth. I know that sounds crazy, and it feels great, but it unscrews if you breathe on it. I worry about the rope spinning it open. Other than those two not insignificant issues, it's a really great locker. I like the light weight, the smooth nose, and the "red is dead" stripe under the locking collar. I just wish it wasn't so prone to cross-loading because it's really minimized my use of it, which sucks for such an expensive 'biner.
Great locking biner!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this biner because it's light and strong. If the biner is not locked, you can see a big red stripe, so it's safer than others without having to use an auto-locker. 'Red, you're dead! White, alright!' Climb on!
The (second) Best Belay Biner out There!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Petzl always makes very high quality gear (ie the Diamond Freewire draws versus Petzl Spirits), and they haven't disappointed me with the Attache caribiners. This version is very "smart" because of the red line showing when the caribiner isn't locked. Also, when it is locked, the gate doesn't wiggle a bit. The low weight is also a plus. Overall, this biner deserves six stars, in my opinion.
Its not really fair to compare the free wire(a 11 dollar draw) to the spirit( a 23 dollar draw) they have their purpose and both work. is just one is a price point draw and one is a premium super draw! its like comparing a dodge neon to a lambo...
Excellent lightweight belay biner with some caveats
This is a really innovative biner by Petzl. It gives us a really lightweight Munter-compatible locker with a nice smooth surface for the rope to run on a standard sport/toprope belay.
But it isn't perfect. It tends to turn around very easily, meaning you'll either crossroad it or run the rope through the skinny end, with lots of unwanted friction. This is easy to recognize and address as it happens. What's harder to address is the tendency for the biner to lay "sideways" against an alpine belay device while belaying up a second, creating a ton of friction, a lot of stress on your anchor, and a general PITA. Add in some rope drag from a wandering route, and you've got yourself a recipe for some very sore hands.
But overall this biner is a huge improvement. Lightweight is the only way to go.
I have found it to lay sideways in my reverso4 as well.
Following up with a few rock and ice seasons of use on this biner, I can say that the "laying flat" issue doesn't bother me much anymore (though I haven't found a solution to it), but I've also found that the screw lock ices up much more often than most of my other lockers. Not sure why that is - it may get more buildup from ice shearing off of the ropes as they go through my belay tube right next to it, but on cold days I need to give it a couple of nice warm breaths every time I want to open or close it - a real pain when it's on my belay loop!
Lightest carabiner I have used to date with all the function of the heavier versions. I like the red safety line in the locking device which makes for easy safety checks
I love the 3d as a mother biner on multipitch anchors. I find that the smooth/rounded bar stock on the original attache feeds better when belaying a second directly off the anchor. The 3d is a bit shifty and you have to be sure to lock the screwgate with authority, but for the awesome weight to size ratio, I'm more than willing to compromise.
Side note - I wouldn't recommend top roping off this carabiner as it will likely wear the alloy down more quickly than a heavier carabiner.
Caution on belay
The good: Got this for my main belay to fit with smaller hole on GriGri. Instantly attractive, lightweight, feels great. Locking mechanism smooth like butter and never jams even after catching a hard fall. Really nice design.
The bad: Slippery little sucker sometimes likes to move around into cross-loaded position
The ugly: Screwgate is so smooth acting that simply a brushing motion of taking up rope for belay can unscrew it if you aren't careful! Have looked down numerous times to see my biner has become totally unlocked - not cool!
Solution: its great if you always remember to keep the gate on the opposite side of your belay hand.
Light...for a price
Too bad you've gotta pay if you want quality. This is a pretty light biner, haven't had it snag yet, realllllly smooth locking system and overall just easy to use. I wish I would have more dollars to spend on them though.
Great looking biner. it wont always stay put when using it as a belay biner so now I use it on my PAS. easily fits into a bolt and the keylock nose keeps it snag-free. pricey though
Standard gear now
Well, what is not to like? Lighter, just as safe and really sexy looking. Performs identically to other locking biners, so why not lighten up your load and replace all of the lockers in your kit with these. One small downer is the locking mechanism is REALLY slick meaning it unscrews quite easily so just look for the red paint and rescrew it as you need to.
does Attache 3d work with Pirana descend...
does Attache 3d work with Pirana descender?
Yes. It was designed to fit with the Pirana. It will increase the friction a little because of it's I-beam design. Not a bad thing when using a single skinny rope.
Actually it will not. You need the regular Attache or similar.

Zoned out
Religion | A proposed mosque in New Jersey heats up the debate over local restrictions and religious freedom
"Zoned out" Continued...
Howard Norgalis normally puts out fires in his hometown of Bridgewater, N.J. But now, like other local officials in America, he has a political fire on his hands over whether a proposed mosque should be built in his community.
The Bridgewater town council president and fire commissioner has been a councilman for seven years and a firefighter for 35. The most flammable issue in his neighborhood right now is the proposed Al Falah mosque.
A new ordinance restricts "country clubs, open air clubs, houses of worship, and schools" to major roadways-prompting the town council to reject the Al Falah proposal in March. Al Falah members responded last month, suing the town and individuals involved in the case under a federal statute on April 26. But even as sides in the debate emerge more clearly, questions over who's behind the Al Falah project-as with other new mosques around the country-are growing.
The ordinance, unanimously approved by the town council, doused the Al Falah fire with gasoline. "It's getting ugly. I'm used to getting sued by people upset with township decisions, just not in federal court," said Norgalis. The township's attorney, Norgalis said, believes the case "might be dismissed outright."
Like Bridgewater, many localities around the United States are wrestling with mosque zoning as mosque proposals increase. And officials like Norgalis have to decide how to accommodate an increasing population of Muslim Americans as communities weigh city planning, freedom of religion, and worries about the influence of radical Islam.
Bridgewater in northern New Jersey's Somerset County is home to an upscale mall and a median household income of $103,227-fourth-highest in the nation. Usually sleepy town council meetings suddenly have become packed. The first hearing for the mosque swelled the municipal room beyond fire capacity and was postponed and moved to a high-school auditorium.
"Both sides are using this issue as symbolic weapons to bash each other," said David Roozen, Director of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Connecticut. He says that tensions intensify with Middle East strife and high unemployment rates, and that "economic stress is very real. Immigrants get blamed."
There are 1,897 mosques in America, up 57 percent from 1,209 mosques in 2000, according to Ihsan Bagby, associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky. The 2.6 million Muslims in America now are expected to jump to 6.2 million by 2030, according to research from the Pew Research Center and John Templeton Foundation. But Bagby estimates there are 6 million Muslims in the United States already because youth, prisons, and low-income areas are undercounted. If Bagby is correct, Muslims will soon outnumber Jews in the United States.
Explosive growth, religious tension, and fears of terrorism increase the friction. Not every mosque faces opposition, but the Pew Forum counts 35 proposed mosques nationwide that faced community resistance from 2008 through 2010.
Voters in Oklahoma, with less than 1 percent Muslim population, made moves to ban Shariah law, a strict interpretation of the Quran. And similar efforts are underway in Tennessee, Texas, Alaska, and Louisiana. The most notorious mosque zoning case, the Park51 mosque in Lower Manhattan near Ground Zero, is stalled by appeals for historic preservation of the original building. And plaintiffs in April joined a lawsuit against county commissioners who approved a Murfreesboro, Tenn., mosque next door to a Baptist church.
Researcher Roozen said studies show most Muslims in the United States want to be mainstream Americans and say they largely agree with separation of church and state. There are enough examples of American Muslim extremists, however, to stoke resistance to prominent buildings dedicated to Islam. So communities nationwide grapple with how to be good neighbors who promote religious freedom yet exercise caution.
Bridgewater, population 45,000, has provoked the ire of Muslims and freedom of religion supporters. "Neighbors were passionate," said Norgalis. And so were mosque supporters, many from outside Bridgewater. Besides three hours of heated public debate, Norgalis said, "I have 1,606 emails in my inbox from Change.org." He received notes also from Virginia, California, Spain, and Portugal.
At issue is a 15,500-square-foot facility, roughly the size of an average retail (think Gap) store, on 7.6 acres of forested land. Across the road are white picket fences. The property was once a banquet hall on a curved road with no shoulder or sidewalk, and the town considered making it a park. But Norgalis said it's "not suitable because it's on a hill," roughly two miles from a main road and "hard to access." The council believes religious services would create too much congestion around that property.
Norgalis said the council was not targeting the mosque, just making an overdue adjustment in passing the ordinance. Bridgewater is home also to a handful of Christian churches, a Jewish synagogue, a Sikh temple, and a Hindu temple. The Hindu temple clashed with the zoning board for five years until it scaled down its expansion plans. Episcopalians in town were not as persistent, and they abandoned expansion plans after the zoning board resisted.
Christian Bridgewater leaders have differing perspectives about Al Falah but haven't formally opposed it. Tim Locke, pastor at Grace Community Church, said diversity is an opportunity. "God is bringing the Arabs to us to evangelize them," he said. "I'm not opposed to sharing my neighborhood with them."
Elliott Tepperman, a Bridgewater resident and rabbi acting as spokesman for Jewish Voice for Peace, wrote on the group's website: "Our religious community has living memory of being mistreated for our differences, and we believe that we have an obligation to speak out against such mistreatment of others. . . . The verse most often repeated in Torah is 'Love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.'"
Stephen Eisdorfer, a lawyer representing neighborhood homeowners, specializes in land use issues. He said Bridgewater operated correctly on new legislation passed by Gov. Chris Christie, which takes effect May 5 and prohibits changes to zoning ordinances if they affect previously submitted applications. Eisdorfer has represented houses of worship including Hindu and Buddhist temples, synagogues, and Baptist churches. "The issues are always the same: noise, visual impact, and traffic," said Eisdorfer. "Everybody wants to go to church, but nobody wants it next door."
James Yee, Executive Director of the New Jersey Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), questioned the timing of the council's passing a new ordinance. "Basically, what [the town council] did would be illegal soon," said Yee. He said he sensed animosity toward Muslims when an estimated 700 residents showed up for the town council vote.
But Jim Lefkowitz, founder of the Somerset County Tea Party, believes there are good reasons to question the motives of CAIR and Al Falah. In 1997, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator when the Holy Land Foundation was convicted of supporting Hamas and other terrorist organizations with $12 million.
"Build as many mosques as you want, but I'm going to ask questions and not apologize," said Lefkowitz. He said terrorists had affiliations with mosques in New York, and he and others want to know more about Al Falah's funding sources: "Where is the money coming from?"
The Chughtai Foundation, with assets totaling $1.5 million as of its 2009 IRS form 990 filing, is contract owner of the property. Pat Kelly, Sales Associate with Re/Max Realty, who represents the property owner, says the closing of the sale depends upon approval from the township. If it closes, the foundation will essentially donate the property to Al Falah. Meanwhile, deposit for the transaction is held in escrow. Kelly would not comment on the negotiated price, but the property is listed at $2.4 million.
The foundation shares a post office box in the next town with Equity Packaging Inc. Zahid Chughatta, a native of India who also uses Chughtai as a last name, is the foundation's president and earned his master's in industrial engineering at Rutgers University. In 1991 Chughatta founded Equity Packaging, which specializes in packaging for pharmaceuticals, food, and medical devices. Its website says it operates internationally in Europe, Asia, and South America.
Chughatta, a board member of Al Falah, is also No. 1,614 on a petition for Sami Al-Arian's release. Al-Arian is a Palestinian born in Kuwait and former Florida professor who pleaded guilty and was convicted in federal court of conspiring with the Palestine Islamic Jihad, which has supported suicide bombers in Israel. Chughatta's foundation has donated over $20,000 to CAIR. Chughatta did not return requests for comment on this story.
Al Falah is suing Bridgewater township, Norgalis, the mayor, every member of the town council, and the planning board. The lawsuit names 10 counts under the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). In the filing, defense lawyers allege the township has "deprived Plantiffs of their right of free exercise of religion, discriminating against them on the basis of religion." They also claim $200,000 has been spent planning for the Al Falah mosque. Court documents show Al Falah is also supported by the mega law firm Arnold & Porter, the left-leaning Brennan Center for Justice, and the Asian-American Legal Defense Fund.
"The RLUIPA is itself ambiguous," said Eisdorfer. "The law was written that way, so Congress was not setting the standard. That's up to the courts to decide." RLUIPA was passed in 2000 with Republican sponsorship and bipartisan support to raise the bar for any government action that would impose zoning or other restrictions on a religious institution or limit the religious freedom of prisoners. Such action must serve a "compelling government interest" while also being "the least restrictive means" of furthering that interest, the law reads. While offering protection to religious institutions and property, RLUIPA now is increasingly being used to litigate in favor of mosque construction sites with questionable funding sources.

#ucoms #ibmexperience
So Caleb Barlow, our esteemed Director of Unified Communications and Collaboration, is going to be one busy guy this coming Wednesday.
10am ET: Caleb starts his day off at the New York Stock Exchange to help out with IBM Business Partner Plantronics' announcement event,
12pm ET: I then have to whisk him (and Jeff Schick, who's speaking at the Plantronics event) uptown to the new IBM Client Center at 590 Madison Avenue, where Caleb and Jeff will be speakers in an important IBM social business and unified communications announcement, "Engage your broader business network with IBM".
2pm ET: And if that wasn't enough, right after that Caleb will be recording a live webcast. Brought to you by InformationWeek, The BrainYard, and IBM, join us for a 60 minute webcast, "Honing Your Social Antenna: Improve Effectiveness and Reduce Costs by Becoming a More Social Business", Wednesday, May 18, 2011, at 2pm ET.
Across industries, the challenges for managers and leaders today are clear: how can I employ social collaboration in a way that creates business value and not chaos? How can my people make the right connections easily, so they don't waste time and money looking for the person or insight they need to do their jobs? How do I evolve my organization in a controlled way, avoiding pitfalls and mistakes in today's rapidly changing landscape? Join Caleb for a discussion on how savvy businesses are honing their social "antenna" in order to better see, hear, and sense changing market conditions. Free registration is here.
I think after this week, I'm going to give Caleb a break from any new speaking engagements, at least for a few days.
11 AM ET: In between the big launch announcements, you might want to catch the pre-game show. Lisa Harris, Sametime Offering Manager, will be the guest on the idoNotes Podcast. Join live at: http://tinyurl.com/4yd3lxs.

The Benefits of Managed Accounts
Separately managed accounts (SMAs) are the investment vehicle of choice among high net worth individuals seeking sophisticated investment solutions and direct ownership of securities in their accounts.
Establishing an SMA is a consultative process. SMA investors typically work with their Financial Professionals to establish personal objectives and investment plans. SMA owners also may have access to the portfolio manager, a service usually reserved for institutional clients. A higher level of service than other retail investment solutions is typical, and may include periodic reports summarizing account activity and performance, as well as in-person meetings, conference calls and written commentaries.
Unlike mutual funds, exchange traded funds and other pooled vehicles, SMA investors can:
- Impose reasonable investment restrictions on the management of their accounts
- Impose reasonable limits on the amount of gains or losses recognized in their accounts
Why BlackRock Managed Accounts?
Our scale provides more resources working for you. BlackRock is one of the largest managers of SMAs with $72.5 billion in assets under management (AUM).* And, as a fiduciary, we are committed to our relationship with you, including:
- Risk profiling and investment strategy recommendations
- Ability to customize your portfolio
- Ongoing management of your portfolio
- Quarterly performance reporting
- Consultations via conference calls, as well as annual in-person meetings to discuss the progress of your portfolio

Rostock University of Music and Drama has developed an extensive, varied network of international partnerships and relationships. This international cooperation focuses on exchange. hmt students go and study at a partner college every year. As the professors at hmt also give guest lectures at the partner colleges, they are familiar with these institutions and can help their students make the best choice. Besides ABAM, the most important international programmes of which the hmt is a member are the European Union's SOKRATES and ERASMUS programmes. Taking part in these programmes is easier and less complicated than applying individually to a foreign university. Students who attend other colleges as part of these programmes do not have to pay study fees. They also receive a monthly mobility allowance depending on the funds available.
Association of Baltic Academies of Music
The Association of Baltic Academies of Music (ABAM) comprises 17 music colleges in the states adjoining the Baltic and offers our students the opportunity to take part in orchestral projects every year, also outside Germany. It also makes it possible for professors and students to undertake exchanges in northern and eastern Europe.
The association is made up of colleges from Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden. The Rubin Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem is an associate member.

Explorations in Music in Education
Various European colleges which train school music teachers work together to offer annual courses known as "Explorations in Music in Education", since 2012 called "Musical interaction and learning in schools and communities". Besides the hmt Rostock, the colleges involved are:
- College of Nyiregyháza (Hungary)
- Umeå University (Sweden)
- Liverpool Hope University (UK)/since 2012
- College und Manchester Metropolitan University (UK)
- Copenhagen Institut for Social Educators (Denmark)
- Lemmens Instituut Leuven (Belgium)
- Colleges in Polen and Norway
These colleges are linked by the European college programmes ERASMUS/SOKRATES, and the partnership is organised under the roof of the International Working Group for MUSIC EDUCATION for the northern countries of Europe (ArGe Nord).
This partnership enables lecturers and students on music education courses to familiarise themselves with the educational and didactic goals and procedures of teaching music to children and young people at general schools in the various countries and to put them into practice in their own work.
The "Explorations in Music in Education" were first held in 1997 and take place every alternate year at one of the colleges belonging to ArGe Nord.

Odd behavior, -- This has recently started happening after a previous update of the Zimbra Desktop. I've tried removing and reinstalling completely but does not resolve the issue.
When either creating a new email message, or saving an attachement from an incoming email message; the 'save as' dialog box or the 'new email' window do not automatically come to the forground.
I am required to ALT-TAB to either the finder or any other application and then ALT-TAB back to Zimbra where the dialog box is then at the foreground.
Is there a solution to this? It's quite annoying.

From creative genius Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland," The Nightmare Before Christmas") comes "Frankenweenie," a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous. A stop-motion animated film, "Frankenweenie" was filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience. This Page is a place for our Fans.

we are just moving to ZCS 6.0.8.
Our users in the office are not allowed to send/receive emails to the 'outside world' except for a few designated people.
My problem is that it seems we cannot give remote access, and by that I mean accessing ZWC from home on mail.company.com to only designated people, seems that either everyone has access or no-one does.
Can you please confirm if that is true else if there is a workaround that?

If you Google search "John McClellan," you'll find the late Democratic senator from Arkansas and the 19th century chemist. So what is comedian, Akron native and onetime Cincinnatian John McClellan — who brings his "Punk Rock" stand-up tour, the Fuck All Comedy Ball into Northside's tiny music club/bar, The Comet, this Saturday — doing to distance himself from his fellow McClellans?
"None of those guys are funny," says the funny McClellan. "That's why I had to get boozecoma.com, because some guy already had johnmcclellan.com, and asking people to spell my last name was a chore. They're working on old cars or selling real estate and I'm just out there trying to bring the jokes to the people."
Jan Leno bores me, I dig Jimmy Kimmel and I think Conan is the king of late night (even before he takes over Leno's show in the very near future). David Letterman is the Jack Benny and Johnny Carson of our times, all rolled into one.
Last night, Letterman showed his class, his legendary status and his sense of history by having Bill Hicks' mother on and then playing the legendary Hicks' appearance he originally censored some 16 years ago. Hicks had a career-making appearance on Letterman's show, and it was "banned," as Letterman said last night, by himself. Hicks, disappointed by what had happened, died soon after the show's non-airing.
When most sit-coms have a day off from taping or filming, the cast takes it easy. Not Sullivan & Son, the TBS sitcom that launched its second season last month.
The show's star, Steve Byrne, along with fellow cast members Owen Benjamin, Ahmed Ahmed and Roy Wood Jr. hit the road for a series of one-off gigs. Tonight they perform at The Funny Bone on the Levee. "We have four episodes left to film, so on the weekends, when we have free time, if we have the opportunity to do a live show we'll jump out," Byrne says. "The Funny Bone asked us to come out, and we're really excited to do the show."
Each comic will do about 20 minutes worth of material. The show closes with all four doing an improv sketch. The four are great friends, as is the entire cast and crew of the show. Often they'll have a grill out and Dan Lauria's place. He plays Byrne's father on the show. "He'll make us watch these old black-and-white films," says Byrne. "He'll say 'Watch this cut. There's no cut for eight minutes. That's acting. That's what you boys should be doing.' And we'll say 'Dan, we're on a sit-com on TBS!'"
The Sullivan & Son Comedy Tour stops at The Funny Bone on the Levee, tonight (Monday, June 17). Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 859-957-2000. funnyboneonthelevee.com.
In the beginning, there was Lenny Bruce. And Lenny Bruce said the word "fuck" and the word was good.
Unfortunately, the word killed his career, and heroin killed his body, but he softened the ground for the Holy Trinity of comedy to follow; Robert Klein (keen observationalist with a social/cultural conscience), George Carlin (an acrobatic magician's use of language in the service of every possible subject) and Richard Pryor, the heir to the throne and, in Pryor's own parlance, the baddest motherfucker of them all.
In the liner notes to No Pryor Restraints: Life in Concert, a new seven-audio CD/two-DVD box set from Shout Factory further illuminating the legendary comic's brilliance, great-in-his-own-right Robin Williams suggests that, just as baseball honors its heroes by retiring their numbers, comedy should retire the word "motherfucker" as a tribute to "one of the best there ever was, ever shall be, comedy without end. Amen."
Pryor would never go for that, of course. He would tell you that he fought long and hard to transform the word "motherfucker" from a horrifying epithet relegated to other-side-of-the-tracks establishments and their low clientele to a uniquely descriptive word that punctuated his bits with conversational ease. If he'd gotten wind of that campaign before his death, I'd be willing to bet Pryor's response would have been, "Retire it? You motherfuckers are going to have to start saying it twice as much because I ain't gonna be here to hold up my motherfucking end. Ain't nobody retiring shit, motherfucker."
No Pryor Restraints is not the first collection to attempt to encapsulate Richard Pryor's revolutionary comedic brilliance. In 2000, Warner Brothers released ...And It's Deep Too!, a definitive (and Grammy-winning) box set which largely served as the CD debut of the bulk of Pryor's catalog, and five years later, just months before Pryor's death from multiple sclerosis, came Evolution/Revolution, a two-CD set that cherry-picked his 1971 Craps (After Hours) album, his appearance at Wattstax and a handful of unreleased bits.
To dip into that same well a third time seems perhaps slightly redundant and mercenary, but producers Reggie Collins and Steve Pokorny and Pryor's widow Jennifer Lee Pryor (who all oversaw ...And It's Deep Too!) have assembled a completely satisfying and beautifully presented collection that features a lot of old favorites and an impressive amount of unreleased material.
No Pryor Restraints begins at the dawn of Pryor's career in the mid-to-late'60s when he was still working in the general confines of conventional comedy. Even then, his increasingly unrestrained use of the word "nigger" served to defuse its inflammatory intent (it was used in the the titles of three subsequent albums and ultimately created a new self-awareness and empowerment for the Rap/Hip Hop generation), and by the early '70s, Pryor was bravely referencing his prodigious drug use, his rampant sex life and his complicated and often violent relationship with whoever was his wife at the moment, not to mention calling out America for its racist attitudes, both blatant and subtle.
If Lenny Bruce's approach to those subjects in the '60s could be viewed as subversively distributed underground texts, then Pryor's expansion of them in the '70s would be considered wildly unedited and graphically illuminated manuscripts hawked from sidewalk tables right out in the open.
By the mid-'70s, Pryor had gotten signed to Warner Brothers and was quickly becoming recognized as one of comedy's quickest and most scathingly brilliant minds. By then he had also embarked on an eclectic career as an actor, and proved conclusively that he had dramatic chops that were every bit as finely tuned as his gift for stand-up.
As Pryor's life became more chaotic and tumultuous, his routines became more honest and soul-baring; one of No Pryor Restraints' unreleased gems is a greatly expanded version of "New Year's Eve," Pryor's account of shooting his wife's car after an all-night party and an argument.
One of the things that No Pryor Restraints accomplishes — in a well designed and gorgeous book — is an accurate charting of Pryor's progress, from an edgy yet still relatively orthodox comic to an unbridled social critic who was not afraid to call a motherfucker a motherfucker. One of the problems with the Laff albums was that they were all shows recorded at the beginning of Pryor's career and yet their releases were interspersed with his far superior Warners albums. In this context, the listener can actually witness Pryor's evolution as he becomes more and more confident, not merely in the writing and honing of the material but in his swaggering presentation of it.
In addition to the (loosely) chronologically sequenced bits culled from the early material that comprised the albums that came out sporadically on Laff, Pryor's legitimate releases and the unreleased pieces that came from his archive, No Pryor Restraints also contains two DVDs that offer three of his most notable concert films, 1979's Live in Concert, 1982's Live on the Sunset Strip and 1983's triumphant Here and Now.
After seven audio CDs of heart-stoppingly hilarious bits, it's almost a revelation to see Pryor do the exquisite dance that accompanied his obscenity-laced symphonies. No Pryor Restraints doesn't necessarily tell us anything we didn't already know about Richard Pryor, it merely reinforces the things we did know in a beautiful and effective way. We already knew that Pryor didn't just change the way people thought about comedy, he changed the medium itself by expanding the parameters of what was acceptable to discuss and the manner in which it's done. He also single-handedly changed race relations in America; with a criminally genius sense of humor, Pryor identified and skewered stereotypes (and obvious flaws) on both sides of the racial divide, ultimately bridging the chasm by bringing fans of every diverse ethnic group together under his all-encompassing umbrella (and poking them in the eye when they arrived).
And in changing the comedy landscape and narrowing the racial gap, Richard Pryor changed the culture in the United States. Television, movies, music and art have all been touched in immeasurable ways by the influence that rippled outward from Richard Pryor's 30-year comedy reign. That's all that motherfucker did, and it was more than motherfucking enough.
Comic musical duo Igudesman & Joo performs at the School for Creative and Performing Arts' Mayerson Theater tonight, presented by the Constella Festival. Korean-British pianist Richard Hyung-ki Joo and Russian violinist Aleksey Igudesman mix Classical music with other popular genres and humor for a wholly entertaining performance. Check out this popular performance (which has more than 7 million YouTube views):
CityBeat writer Anne Arenstein spoke to Joo about the duo's unique spin on performing the classics.
It was hate at first sight when Igudesman and Joo met. There's a hilarious account of what brought them together on their website, but according to Joo, the moment of truth came a couple of months later.
"We shared the notion that the Classical music world which we loved so much was taking itself way too seriously," Joo says. "Going to concerts was like going to a funeral."
"We were young and we didn't know much but we knew Classical music was full of life," he continues. "Through our own projects and the music we wrote, we could at least create events that we would want to go to."
Go here to read the full interview.
"An Evening with Igudesman and Joo" takes place at 8 p.m. tonight at SCPA's Mayerson Theater, 108 W. Central Parkway, Over-the-Rhine. More information and tickets: 513-549-7175 or constellafestival.org.

I am testing Zimbra 8 NE (single node). I read in the doc:
MySQL Backup and Restore - Zimbra :: Wiki
"Sites that need an extra level of redundancy for their MySQL data can use the MySQL Binary Log and mysqldump. (...) As of HELIX (version 7.x) of ZCS, there is an option to automatically run full mysqldumps as part of the nightly zmbackup (mysql_backup_retention)"
Sorry for the naive question, but I don't understand why the proper procedure to recover from a mysql crash is not to restore the latest zimbra backup. If mysql is restored, how to be sure that the message store is synchronized with the restored dump?

Hi all,
I've deployed Zimbra (Release 7.0.1_GA_3105.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition.) on a customer machine, and have migrated 3 people to ZCO (the rest are still using IMAP or the web interface while I iron out the ZCO issues).
As far as I know, two of the users I migrated are having no noteworthy issues, but the third keeps being told the initial sync is failing.
I've tried changing the sync token as suggested in the user guide, but the sync still fails. Can anybody give me any advice? Zimbra's inner workings are somewhat of an enigma to me, and I'm close to the end of my expertise.
One thing I thought to try but haven't done yet was to delete the account from Outlook and possibly even uninstall/reinstall the connector, ensure that the ZDB files are all gone, and restart the migration of this user from scratch. What concerns me is if this same issue happens with the 60 other users I haven't yet migrated to ZCO.
Below is the Failure Notice, and I've attached the compressed sync_response.xml; it doesn't mean much to me and is rather unwieldy, even after tidying the XML, but may be useful to somebody.
Thanks in advance.

Jobs left Apple in 1985, and the year following, bought a small animation studio from Lucasfilm for $5 million. In 1995, folowing the release of Toy Story, he finally saw the fruits of Pixar's labors. For the next decade and a half, the studio produced blockbuster after blockbuster, changing the landscape of the entertainment business. In 2006, Jobs sold Pixar to Disney for $7.4 billion; to date, the studio has taken home 10 Oscars and been nominated for 30 more.

Child Gun Deaths Nationwide Number Nearly 6 Newtown Massacres (Huffington post)
Police reports about the final moments of Demetrius Cruz's life include the
kind of information that is at once difficult to fathom and yet somehow part
of the ordinary but tragic tapestry of life in the U.S.
Cruz was riding in a car with his cousin on a Denver street Saturday when the
driver of a white car started bumping, following and then chasing the teens'
car. Cruz called his aunt. He was scared. Someone in the white car fired
several shots, striking and killing Cruz. He was just 15 years old. That same
night in Kansas City, Mo., a bullet sliced through the body of 4-year-old
Aydan Perea while he was sitting in a car with his dad. Police say Perea was
the innocent and unsuspecting victim of a gang drive by. Days later, on
Tuesday, Dalton Williams, 16, was killed in Pierre, S.D. with a shotgun
wielded by a friend after a dispute over a paintball game.
In each case, local newspapers and television stations captured the shocking
and sad details. But no national media camped outside the boys' homes, schools
or places of worship. No satellite trucks were driven in to ...

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Jimmy Howard made 15 of his 36 saves in the
third period to backstop the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 win over the Colorado
Paul Stastny denied Howard's shutout bid, taking PA Parenteau's behind-the-net
pass and scoring on his own rebound with 1:30 remaining and veteran goaltender
Jean-Sebastien Giguere pulled for an extra skater.
The Avalanche came close to striking again with Giguere on the bench, but the
Red Wings held on for their fourth win in six games.
Giguere, playing on the heels of his mother's funeral in Montreal, turned
aside 31 shots.
The setback extended Colorado's skid away from home to 0-3-3.

Former map is scanned/attached.
Fantasy world map for my book series that is already established. The world is a single continent, but it is not surrounded by a body of water. Instead its just white mist. I dont readers worry about the details. This is just a place tucked away in the universe not subject to the rules as we know it. Keeping it simple.
The area would be around the size of Texas. Pretty small world that can be seen so far. Id say an inch is about 50-100 miles. Perspective is looking at a page on a 6*9 paperback book.
Im attaching links. Pretty simple black and white.
scroll idea I like the idea that it was free handed by a character. Just for reference.
I can send more examples. Also need the lettering.
Quality and Size:
For digital book and 6*9 paperback
Time constraints: None. I already have a map but over the next few months would be good.
Copyright: I don't want a contract. Map will be for marketing sales and use. Artist/creator can use however they wish.
Contact Details: Leave private message or post question on this request. also craig at the darkslayer dot com
Other: The current map is just a rough idea. Id like to see some artistic merit added to it. Be creative. Add some new things to make it more interesting.

Born Elizabeth Ruth Grable on Dec. 18, 1916 in St. Louis, MO, she was the youngest of three children born to parents Lillian Rose Hofmann and John C. Grable. Having set her sights on stardom for young "Betty" early on, formidable stage mom Lillian enrolled her daughter in ballet and dance lessons at the age of three. Ten years later, Lillian took Betty out West in search of fame, soon securing her 13-year-old a job as chorus girl in the musical "Happy Days" (1929). Being a minstrel show, the blackface Betty wore in her film debut helped to cover her age. However, after a forged identification card was discovered by the producers of her next film, Betty was let go. In a further effort to mask... Continue Bio >>
