Ryco 65By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
Thirty-six-plus years ago, a man was searching for a boat on which he and his son could fish blue water. The man, who did most of his fishing out of Florida, talked to three custom boatbuilding brothers named Rybovich about constructing his dreamboat. After some discussion the man commissioned a 53-footer dubbed Castabar. The sportfisherman was launched in 1968, and father and son enjoyed untold boating adventures onboard her.
The son, who wishes to remain anonymous, inherited this nautical heirloom and used her often. Now grown up and an experienced angler, he enjoyed Castabar's build, ride, and layout. But after four decades of faithful service, the boat was tired, and the owner realized it was time for a change. Having liked Castabar so much, he turned to custom builder Ryco Marine and Michael Rybovich, son of the late Emil Rybovich, one of the three brothers who built Castabar, to craft him a 65-footer.
"I knew Michael Rybovich still possessed the same family traits that his dad and uncles had," the owner explained to me. One of those traits is building a sturdy, cold-molded boat without excessive weight, and the new boat, also called Castabar, is no exception. Her bottom is comprised of three layers of 5/16-inch mahogany planks glued in opposing directions with epoxy resin to add strength. Two layers of 18.5-ounce fiberglass cloth encapsulate the exterior of the hull, adding rigidity and providing a moisture barrier, atop which is 1/16-inch of solid epoxy, which was faired out before being painted. The interior of the hull is also fiberglass-encapsulated, which stiffens and strengthens the entire structure. Engine beds and stringers are clear fir and mahogany, laminated into place; the engine beds are skinned with one-inch AB marine fir plywood and 3/8-inch-thick aluminum caps to support the boat's 1,400-hp Caterpillar 3412 diesels.
As a result of her construction, Castabar comes in at 67,000 pounds (dry), 15,000 to 20,000 pounds less than comparably sized, conventionally laminated boats. Nevertheless, she's built to chase horizons, as I learned on test day. The 10- to 20-mph northwest breeze cutting across Key Largo, Florida, didn't whip up any seas that could challenge her hull form, which has a bell shape forward that modifies to a convex shape amidships, where deadrise is about 18 degrees. In fact, she made mincemeat of the two- to three-foot chop. Spray rails running her entire length prevented any of the squashed chop from riding up the hull. Castabar was dry the whole day; not even a sneeze of spray worked its way to the flying bridge. And she was stable, too, thanks to aft sections that flatten to nine degrees at the transom.
Seeing how that design translates into performance out of the water was almost as impressive to me as learning about her build. Castabar's Cats are coupled to Twin Disc transmissions and 33x43 four-blade Veem wheels, all of which helped propel her to a top average speed of 45.5 mph (2320 rpm) while burning 138 gph. Castabar's captain, Dominic Ullom, Jr., told me that he usually runs the boat at about 1800 rpm, where she burns around 80 gph (can you say fuel miserly?) at 35 mph. It's here that you can best see how hull design, power, and weight savings come together.
Of course, I was curious to see if her handling was as good as her ride. Ullom handed me the wheel, and I throttled the single-lever Glendinning electronic controls, which are set in a Palm Beach-style pod of rich red-stained mahogany. The controls were buttery smooth, and the Hynautic steering allowed me to maneuver Castabar as easily as a runabout. Rybovich, who was along for the test, said, "Go ahead, Patrick, put her over." Who was I to argue? I got Castabar up to a comfortable cruise of 35 mph and put the wheel hardover. She turned on a dime with nary a drop in rpm, another effect of Ryco's efficient hull. Sightlines were clean at all speeds, compliments of a trim angle that never rose above four degrees sans trim tabs.
While I admittedly spent a lot of time admiring her performance, once we'd finished the sea trial I had the chance to really take in the 65's highly finished brightwork, which, like her build, is a family trademark.
The owner wanted to keep a traditional look outside, so the cockpit sole is teak, but accented in a red-hued and Imron-finished Honduran mahogany. The look is stunning. My eyes were drawn to the rich-looking wood as I gazed past the aft-facing mezzanine seating to port and starboard, two custom sailfish chairs, and centerline rocket launcher (designed by the owner). Also worthy of note is the fact that the sailfish chairs are off centerline and positioned so the owner can rest his feet on the covering boards or rocket launcher. (I think Rybovich might cringe if he saw a pair of Docksiders resting on that artfully finished wood.) The chairs and rocket launcher are just part of Castabar's big-game arsenal, which also includes two 60-gallon in-deck fishboxes (one rigged for tuna tubes), an in-deck fishbox with Eskimo ice maker to keep fish fresh, a bait freezer, and custom Rupp outriggers. "She's a fishing boat," Rybovich explains simply.
Castabar's interior is equally impressive, in satin-finished teak and solid granite countertops with no openings, not even for the cooktop, which pulls out from under one of the cabinets. (The owner didn't want crumbs falling into cracks.) "How often do you really use the cooktop?" the owner asks rhetorically.
There's another learned-by-experience feature in all of Castabar's three en suite heads: heated towel racks (not a Rybovich family trademark). The owner said that over the years he could never get a towel to dry in the humid environs of Florida and the Bahamas, so he had heaters and racks installed in the head. (I guess that also explains the three towel closets in the below-decks companionway.) That line of thinking must account for the air conditioning outlet under the king-size berth in the master forward. Ullom told me it prevents moisture and mildew buildup, and as paperwork is stowed here, the setup makes a lot of sense.
It's details like these that make it tough to criticize a custom boat from the perspective of gear and layout, since she represents an owner's vision. However, I would be curious to see how some of Castabar's features hold up over time, like the pneumatic sliding doors that buffer the saloon and cockpit, the remote controlled-window shades, and the Crestron wireless-controlled entertainment center that allows you to watch DVDs, satellite TV, the tower cam, and engine diagnostics and access satellite Internet, on the saloon's 32-inch Sony plasma TV.
But those items are gadgetry, not the meat and potatoes of this boat, which are her trademark lines, build, finish, and seakeeping ability. These are the things that have kept the Rybovich family legacy alive, and will likely continue to do so for decades to come, especially if they create the kinds of owner-builder relationships that span generations. At least, I hope so. After all, I wouldn't mind testing, oh, let's say, a 70-foot Ryco?

Cyclones Shutout Leathernecks 2-0; 3-0 on Season
AMES, Iowa- A dominant Iowa State offensive attack was too much for the Western Illinois Leathernecks as the Cyclones grabbed a 2-0 victory in the home opener at the Cyclone Sports Complex and advanced to 3-0 on the season.
A total of 901 fans packed the Cyclone Sports Complex, which ranks top five all-time in Iowa State soccer attendance history.
Iowa State controlled most of the game in their first shutout of the season holding the Leathernecks to just seven shots. The Cyclones last shutout was on Oct. 14th against Drake last season. Iowa State took 26 shots with10 shots on goal. The Cyclone defense was particularly impressive in the first half, as it was not until early in the second half that Iowa State allowed Western Illinois to take a shot.
"Heading into this game knowing the formation that they have played so far this season, we knew that they were going to only use three defenders," head coach Wendy Dillinger said. "We kept the ball, moved the ball and capitalized. I though we did a good job of looking to exploit and not just keep possession. That is why I think we scored that first goal so quickly."
To start off the match, Erin Green scored an early goal in the 13th minute on an assist from Jennifer Dominguez. The goal is the second of the season for the senior.
Senior Jennifer Dominguez added the second goal for the Cyclones in the 67th minute on some nice passing from Margaret Powers and Emily Goldstein. The goal is the second of the season for the All-Big 12 star.
Senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe came up with 3 saves in the game bringing her early season total to eight. The game marks Jobe's 15th career shutout.
"The thing that is really impressive about this group is that this is their third game in five days," Dillinger said. "To come out and play with the energy and momentum that we had in that third game and to still have enough legs impressed me. The mental aspect of when to attack and when to pass was spot on tonight."
The Cyclones will take on Minnesota Sunday at the Cyclone Sports Complex at 1 p.m. Cyclones.tv will broadcast the event live. Results will be available on Cyclones.com at the conclusion of the game.

One of the most fascinating questions surrounding Darren Aronofsky's Noah is how the director plans on dealing with all of the animals.

While details about the plot are still vague, it's expected that the movie will follow Noah's path as he is instructed by God to build an ark for two of every animal and Noah's family in preparation for a great flood that will erase life on Earth. Aronofsky wrote the script along with John Logan (Hugo, Gladiator) and they have lined up an impressive cast that includes Russell Crowe as Noah...

Anthony Hopkins Joins Russell Crowe In Darren Aronofsky's Noah
The Black Swan director used the hash tag Methuselah Lives in his Tweet, tipping his hand to Hopkins casting. With all due respect to the 74-year-old thespian, hell be playing Noahs grandfather, described by Biblical scholars as the oldest-known individual in the history of the Hebrew Bible.

Jennifer Connelly In Talks To Join Russell Crowe In Darren Aronofsky's Noah
For as long as Darren Aronofsky's Noah has been in the casting stage, which began when Russell Crowe signed on to star, we've heard whispers about the Oscar-nominated director wanting Jennifer Connelly to play his female lead. While performers such as Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth have signed on to the movie since, Connelly has remained a question mark in connection to the film. Today the fog has begun to clear.

Ray Winstone May Go Up Against Russell Crowe In Aronofsky's Noah
The story, of course, tells the biblical tale of a man who gets word from god that the reset button is being hit with a great flood. God then commands Noah to build a giant arc that will house two of every animal on the planet as well as his family. It is unknown at this time how a human antagonist will play a role in the story, but details should be revealed as the project heads closer to production.

Liev Schreiber May Be Darren Aronofsky's Villain For Noah
Jennifer Connelly might not be taking the role of Noah's wife, as has been widely reported. Julianne Moore is apparently also in consideration for that part, though given that she has neither the track record with Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) or Crowe (A Beautiful Mind) that Connelly does, her casting doesn't seem quite as intuitive

hello all,
i have a new zimbra8 install and needed to migrate away from zimbra7, i've used:
to export:
zmmailbox -z -m user@domain getRestURL //?fmt=tgz > user.tgz
then import:
zmmailbox -z -m firstname.lastname@example.com postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" user.tgz
all worked great and old mail is there and such. however while importing, few new emails arrived and are in fact there and visible via webmail, but when using imap, those messages that were received before the import are not seen. everything that imported is visible and anything that arrives after import shows up as well, but not those few that were in inbox before the import, again this is when using an imap client.
this is really odd and i can't figure out whats going on, any help is greatly appreciated,

If you regularly use multiple printers, you can pick one as your default printer. Windows and other programs then automatically use that device whenever you print.
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Set as default printer. (You'll see a check mark on the printer's icon signifying that it's now your default printer.)
A default printer doesn't have to be an actual physical device. Depending on your computer, you might have the option to send documents as faxes, or to save them as PDF or XPS files when you print. To learn more, see Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
You can change your default printer setting at any time.
If more than one printer is connected to your computer, you can choose one to use by default. Choose the printer you will use most often. That way, when you print using Windows or your programs, you won't have to select a printer each time. You can change the default printer at any time and you can still select other printers for occasional print jobs.
Open Printers by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Printers.
Right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Set as Default Printer. A check mark is displayed on the printer icon to mark it as your default printer.

UPDATE: 1/13/14 3:35 p.m.
Marcus Earl Gray, 44, was arrested Monday for the murder of 38-year-old Latasha Denise Joyce, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police said, Joyce and Gray was involved in a physical and verbal altercation January 10 in the Tri-Star Trucking lot located in the 3500 block of Rio Grande Avenue.
The couple was sitting inside Gray's semi-tractor when Gray admitted to pushing Joyce out of the passenger side door causing her to fall on the ground and land on her back.
Gray told police he drove away in his tractor and later returned to find Joyce unresponsive. He said he then placed Joyce in the tractor and drove her to his house. He then placed her in another vehicle and drove her to UF Health.
According to police, the autopsy reported revealed that Joyce had suffered multiple internal injuries that are consistent with being hit by a motor vehicle. Gray denied hitting Joyce with his vehicle during the interview.
Following the investigation of the crime scene and video surveillance, JSO discovered that only Gray's vehicle was seen arriving and leaving lot during the time of the murder.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responded to a suspicious death early Friday morning.
The incident occurred near the intersection of North Edgewood Avenue and New Kings Road in the Royal Terrace area of the Northwest side.
According to police, an unidentified man brought 38-year-old Latasha Joyce to UF Health Jacksonville who was suffering from an apparent trauma. Homicide investigators determined Joyce and the unidentified male had been involved in a physical altercation, according to JSO. Joyce later died at the hospital.
Joyce's death is under investigation and foul play is suspected at this time.

Today, I changed the main fuse..........................I suspect that after over a year and a half of riding, that fuse just got tired of carrying the power load...........
Um, you know better than that.repeat after me --- " The purpose of a fuse is to protect wire insulation from catching fire "
Could the same vibrations that loosen our nuts and chafe our wires weaken a fuse?
A 15 or 20 amp fuse is a lot less prone to break from vibration then a lightbulb filament . Try again Mattsz .

This year the city of Jakarta plans to celebrate its 486th anniversary in grand style with no less than 17 large events to be held during one whole month from 2 June – 3 July. The Events include the Jakarta Great Sale (1 June – 14 July) , Jakarta Night Festival, Jakarta Fair, Jakarta 10K, Jakarnaval, Golf Championship and a street party along Jakarta's main Thamrin-Sudirman avenues, the spectacular Siti Ariah musical and Art Happenings.
The pinnacle of this range of events will take place on 22 June, the day of Jakarta's anniversary, at the National Monument park. The apex of which will be a musical presentation on the life of Siti Ariah, an indigenous Betawi girl who refused to become a concubine to a rich merchant, with tragic consequences, said Arie Budiman, Head of the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office.
For Jakarta's spectacular musical, Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo – more familiarly called Jokowi - has specifically appointed Atilah Soeryadjaya, producer and creator of the splendid Matah Ati musical on the history of the Mangkunegaran court in Solo. Although given a relatively short time to prepare, Atilah confirmed that the musical will involve 200 dancers and 20 lead players. As artistic Director she will be collaborating with Jay Subyakto, and with Wiwek Sipala and Eko Supendi as choreographers. Musical Director will be Erwin Gutawa.
Furthermore, to beautify the city of Jakarta for its anniversary, Governor Jokowi has incorporated the support of a number of companies and organizations to clean up the city's eyesore of graffiti splashed over Jakarta's 1,161 flyovers and underpasses

Our planet is shaped by the oceans, the dynamic geology and the changing climate. It teems with life and we, in particular, have a massive impact as we build homes, grow food, travel and feed our ever-hungry need for energy. Mathematics is vital in understanding all of these, which is why 2013 has been declared as the year for the Mathematics of Planet Earth.

If you've never heard of cubic Hamiltonian graphs before then take a look at Christopher Manning's wonderful cubic Hamiltonian graph builder. No, really, do! We too had never heard of them and now we think they are the bee's knees!

Why are we so clever? In evolutionary terms this isn't obvious: evolution tends to favour cheap solutions and the human brain is expensive. It consumes about 20% of our body's energy budget yet it only makes up 2% of our body mass. So why did it make evolutionary sense for us humans to develop powerful brains? Game theory provides a possible answer.

The wife of an Israeli diplomat in India and her driver were injured Monday when the car they were traveling in was bombed, while another bomb was defused outside an Israeli embassy in Tblisi, Georgia. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran, which he called "the greatest exporter of terror in the world."
The corporate parent of The Enquirer is offering a voluntary "early retirement" buyout proposal to rid the company of some older and more highly paid employees.
Robert J. Dickey, president of The Gannett Co.'s U.S. newspaper division, announced the buyout offer Thursday in a memorandum to employees.
The big news this morning is President Obama's State of the Union address, which revealed an assertive, populist side to B-Rock that's largely been missing during the first three years of his term.
Will Obama keep his promises to go after Wall Street excesses and reckless financial firms, or is it mere election year posturing like apparently many of his statements in 2008 were? Only time will tell.
At least three members of Congress are set to attend the 13th annual Northeast Hamilton County Republican Pancake Breakfast next week.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Terrace Park), a budget director under President George W. Bush, is the keynote speaker at the event. Also scheduled to attend are U.S. Reps. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) and Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township), along with nearly 400 local Republicans from all levels of government.
After a few months of preparation, two Ohio legislators today formally introduced an economic development plan that a nonpartisan group has said could create up to 16,000 jobs in the state.
State Sens. Eric Kearney (D-North Avondale) and Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) have submitted Senate Bill No. 278, known as "Forward Ohio," for the State Legislature's consideration.
Although he will celebrate his 81st birthday in less than two months, former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev still is an astute observer of the world's political scene.
Unlike his political contemporaries Ronald Reagan (who is dead) and Margaret Thatcher (who is acutely ill), Gorbachev remains sharp and aware, and keeps making headlines. Ever since the U.S. financial crisis of 2007-08, Gorbachev has advocated that the United States needs a similar period of reforms, or "perestroika," that he advanced in the Soviet Union beginning in 1986.
A national coalition of community groups, including two Cincinnati organizations, are urging President Obama to push big Wall Street banks into writing down all "underwater mortgages" to market value. The groups said the action would pump up to $1.6 billion into Ohio's economy and create more than 24,000 jobs statewide.
The Denver Post reported Thursday that Metromix, a series of entertainment websites owned by Enquirer parent Gannett Co., is closing its localized websites in seven cities.
Metromix is closing its website operations in Denver, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, D.C. Each of the markets is where Gannett owns a television station but not a newspaper.
After two days of testimony, the criminal trespassing trial of some Occupy Cincinnati protestors has been continued until Jan. 30 while attorneys on both sides continue to negotiate a possible resolution.
Meanwhile, the Occupy Cincinnati group isn't resting; it will stage an event called "Recharge Weekend" on Saturday and Sunday, designed to boost the morale of participants and devise a more precise, clear agenda for moving forward.
As far as conservatives go, I can tolerate columnist George Will and often enjoy reading his work. Unlike most of what passes as conservatism today, Will tends to base his arguments on logic and fact, not emotion and rhetoric.
Making him even more of an anomaly in Republican circles, Will acknowledges and corrects his errors, when he makes them. As an added bonus, he's also a deft wordsmith.
Despite his many years in office, Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) could stand to take a few pointers from Will. Chabot, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, spoke during a hearing Wednesday about his concerns with a total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by year's end.

Picket signs greeted Walmart shoppers across the country.
Demonstrators used Black Friday to stand in solidarity with Walmart workers trying to organize.
Some Walmart employees complain the powerful, mega store retaliates against workers beating any union or worker's rights drum.
The protests spread to as many as 1,000 stores.
Missoula's Super Walmart was one.
It was toe crunching cold for demonstrators greeting early Walmart shoppers and employees.
Picketers bundled for the weather and a lengthy stay.
Pro labor groups said Walmart can afford better for its legions of workers.
"The Walton family that owns Walmart owns as much wealth as 42% of the poorest people in the United States,said Unite Here 427 executive officer Mark Anderlik.
But Walmart worker Norma Pearson said the company treats her well.
She said she gets a regular raise, has three weeks of vacation, sick pay, and good benefits.
No Walmart workers joined the protests.
Picketers passed out fliers in good holiday spirt.
One loyal Walmart shopper said good for the picketers.
"Walmart products are great," said Peggy Miller, "They need to treat their workers the same way the treat their products."
But there was plenty of anti union sentiment.
Some yelled "unions suck" to the picketers.
One retired union worker came to talk off camera.
He said unions don't protect their workers anyway.
Mabel Weis took a flier and listened politely to a demonstrator.
She knows many of Missoula's Walmart workers, and said if they didn't have this job they may not have a job at all.
Peter McCay was on his way to the store to shop.
But he did a turnaround.
McCay is a retired small business owner himself.
"I'm not afraid of unions," said McCay, " they brought in the 40 hour week, weekends off. People seem to forget what unions have done for them."

Why is Kristen Stewart using crutches on her way to the Oscars?
Vampire vixen Stewart, star of the Twilight movies, got out of her car clutching crutches and hobbled her way to the red carpet. Then she handed them to her assistant and headed down the photo line without them.
She was in a nude-colored, strapless Reem Acra gown, lacy and with a short train.
No explanation for the crutches except that she suffered an unspecified injury.

(WUSA) -- Maryland State Police say they were pursuing a stolen vehicle on Route 1 near the IKEA in Prince George's County after it refused to stop on Friday. They say an officer was struck by the stolen car while he was throwing out stop sticks to stop the vehicle.
The suspect then fled into Montgomery County in the area of New Hampshire and Powder Mill Rd. The suspect bailed from the vehicle, but police caught him after pursuing the suspect on foot.

Well, you can't blame them for wanting to get in on an obvious market. It's just the natural extension of Heroquest which was always quite close to D&D. They have a problem though as the free apps and cheap apps appear to be superior in function to the gametable they are putting forward. The only thing they have got going for them is the eye-candy 3D effect. That will get them a decent following I'm sure, as will the fact that they have the 4ed rules built in.
The eye-candy cuts both ways though. If you want to do something that can't be built in their 3D app then it is going to be harder to get your players to suspend their disbelief and go along with a verbal description that is at odds with the 3D views they are used to.
I think the 2D apps actually have the edge in this one as no-one expects the 2D top-down views to be anything more than representative. Also, they are rules agnostic and appeal to broader markets than WotC. Also, as far as I can tell, trevor from rptools and Redrobes (of here, and ViewingDale) are not actually physical incarnations of EVIL and so probably have an edge there too
PS Just to appeal to all the anti-WotC among us (I'm a 3.5 player so don't actually have that much of a problem with them) - they recently screwed up by releasing a 'screenshot' of gametable where they had just stolen the dice from a screen-grab of Fantasy Grounds. Whoops.

Bringing years of knowledge to the field of anti-aging, pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague founded RoC in France in 1957 and immediately formed strong relationships with leading dermatologists. Since the beginning, RoC skin care has been dedicated to providing topical anti-aging solutions for women. The secret behind RoC skincare is a highly stabilized form of Vitamin A in its purest form. RoC retinol formulations help the skin turn over cells faster in order to reveal a smoother, clearer tone. RoC night treatments can help transform the complexion during the sleeping hours when the body rejuvenates itself.
RoC Deep Wrinkle Night Cream is a very popular anti-aging product which has allowed many women to enjoy a more youthful looking complexion. This RoC wrinkle cream produces results in little time with cumulative benefits through continued use. Women may also choose RoC deep wrinkle serum which can be applied under makeup. RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum provides an option for day use.
RoC products offer a wide variety of solutions for varying concerns and skin types. Put together a full regimen from the selection of RoC skin care products. Extensive research goes into developing each fine product with dedication to making women happier and more confident through the beautification of the skin.
While there is no way to halt the march of time, you can take steps to minimize the signs of aging that reveal themselves on your skin. The RoC range has been helping women appear more youthful for six decades. However, it is not content to rest on its laurels. The company remains at the cutting edge of skincare research and development, incorporating new, innovative ingredients into its formulations to deliver the best possible results for women across the globe.
If you have not yet developed fine lines or wrinkles, you can use RoC treatments to shield your skin from the future signs of aging. By strengthening the skin and boosting its natural elasticity, you can help make your skin more resistant to future troubles. If your skin is already showing the signs of aging, RoC formulations can help to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and reintroduce vital suppleness and flexibility to the complexion.
RoC pays meticulous attention to the way in which its products are manufactured and packaged. This ensures that the active ingredients within the skincare treatments do not degrade and become less effective over time. The opaque packaging used by RoC ensures that UV light is kept away from the cream or lotion. Airtight tubes ensure that the air does not reach the cream, preventing oxygen from affecting the efficacy of the formulation.
The RoC collection continues to impress skincare experts. The brand wins awards year on year that recognize its ongoing contribution to the battle against aging.

Zimbra 8 introduced a new search dialog. When you enter a search command like "from:john vacation", you get a new tab with your search, and in the text box with your search, you see "balloons" with your search terms, like this:
Can that be disabled to get the original behavior back? I don't like this new behavior, because:
- one search command is often not enough and you want to refine it. But, those 'balloons' are not editable.
- You can delete those balloons, but they cause the search command to be executed again without pressing enter, making it slow if you want to add stuff.
So, I keep going back to the search bar at the top, but because that doesn't have my search in it anymore, I need to remember to copy it, so that I can repaste it when I need to refine the search.

So as the facebook addict I am, I logged on this morning and had a new message from this very "nice" Michelle girl....(For all you that are on my facebook, you have already seen this) This is what it said:
Michelle Jenn
you realize hunting is MURDER...right? you are a murderer. how can you have the audacity to take a picture of yourself with a dead animal and smile like you're miss america? I hope in the next life you get the same "treatment" that you have bestowed upon UNCONSENTING beings. They didn't give YOU their consent to kill them, did they? Did they really say, " Yes please murder me for your own selfish sadistic pleasure"...rot in hell.

ATLANTA -- Fifteen years after one of the most ruthless killings in metro Atlanta, the case is cold, still unsolved.
The victim, William Hill, left behind a wife and two daughters. He is gone but not forgotten.
"We know a lot about the case, we don't know a lot about who did it," said FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett.
William Hill was 52 years old when he was killed on May 6, 1998. He left behind a wife, Rita, and two daughters, Jasmine, 2 and Jaime, 4.
Now Jasmine is 17 and she said it bothers her that she never really knew her father.
"A lot of kids are kind of ungrateful nowadays," she said. "They hate their parents and I'm like, well, I never really knew my dad so it's kind of hard for me."
Jasmine said she and her sister Jaime, who is in college, got more curious about their father's death as they grew older.
"We were always looking through old pictures and newspapers, Googling what happened that day trying to figure out what really, really happened," she said.
Hill's wife Rita remembers it vividly.
"I remember trying to call him (that day) and he would always return my phone call," she said.
But that day, William Hill never returned his wife's call. He was lying dead in the Roswell-Wieuca shopping center parking lot on Roswell Road. Investigators who worked the case would later call it the coldest murder they ever saw. Some of them said they have nightmares about it to this day.
"It was very disheartening to see the cruelty of that type of a cold-blooded murder," Emmett said.
William Hill, who was a Marine, worked for Alliance Security for five years. He filled ATM's with cash.
It was the middle of the day, broad daylight, when he pulled his van up to the SouthTrust stand-alone ATM in the shopping center. He got out of his van and witnesses saw his head explode. William Hill fell to the ground and died instantly. He never knew what happened.
Rita Hill found out when she called a secretary at Alliance.
"I called the office and she was the one that gave me the news," she said. "It didn't register and I'm like, I cannot believe what I'm hearing."
Her daughter Jasmine still can't understand why.
"It wasn't necessary to kill someone, not necessarily because he's my father, but anyone period," she said.
The FBI would later map out what happened. When Hill pulled up to the ATM there was a pickup truck with a camper shell on the back parked 70 feet away. When Hill got out of the truck, a shot from a high powered rifle came from the back of the pickup truck hitting Hill in the head. "One shot, one kill" is the sniper term.
"We believe they were laying in wait, they knew that he would be there and killed him in cold blood," Emmett said.
A witness, who was horrified by what he saw, gave investigators a description of a man who calmly walked up to Hill's body, grabbed two canisters of cash Hill was carrying, and walked back to the truck and drove off. He stole about $70,000.
What baffled police was when they arrived at the scene, Hill's van was wide open and 14 more canisters were still sitting there. The suspect could have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars more.
"There was a lot of money at the scene and only a portion of it taken by that individual," Emmett said.
Minutes after the heist the pickup truck, a Ford Ranger, was found torched in the parking lot of a nearby condominium complex. The camper shell was melted, revealing several bales of pine straw that lined the truck. The FBI thinks the pine straw provided the shooter with cover and sound suppression.
The truck was stolen in Gwinnett County several months before the shooting. Whoever stole it had the camper shell installed. They also put a stolen plate on it. The truck was taken to the GBI crime lab but forensic technicians found no evidence. It was wiped clean of finger prints.
Fifteen years later, the FBI, Atlanta Police and Rita Hill are not giving up hope that the suspects will be caught.
"Someone that has heard something, whether they're a family member or a co-worker or a cell mate, we'll take that information however we can get it," Emmett said.
"He was a real man," Rita Hill said. "He took care of business, he took care of his family and he wasn't disliked by anybody, so he was one in a million."
An arrest would mean a lot to her and to the two daughters who barely knew him, who are grateful for the short time with him.
"I really want to know why they did it," Jasmine Hill said. "What was the reason behind it?"
"They took away a father, a husband and a gem and it didn't have to turn out that way because he would have given them the money," Rita Hill said.
If you know anything about the William Hill case call the FBI at 404-679-9000 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477).

A great dish that my husband and I really enjoyed. I served it with white rice and steamed broccoli. Would be just as good with pasta or couscous.

Hi Guys,
I am setting up mail server for 10K users. Here is what I have planned two incoming servers [zimbra-mta] two MBX Server with one as a LDAP Master and other will act as a LDAP Replica and two outgoing servers. Out of which Two incoming [MX records] willalso act as a IMAP Proxy. I will not be using SSL; it will purely be SMTP, IMAP, POP3. Now I would like to know how much RAM I would need for MBX servers?
Also, there might be a chances that management might not approve for distributed setup and I might need to setup one server only having all the roles installed at this moment. In this case how much RAM would you suggest and what should be the server size or parameters should be considered for server sizing.

I have a Zimbra server setup to host client emails. We also have an Exchange 2010 server setup to host my company email. This has worked great for months (years in previous configurations), until last night. To my knowledge, nothing has changed.
Zimbra Log Entry
It is only between our two servers, no other domians are effected on either server.Code:Jan 19 16:38:55 tron postfix/error[21240]: 7DB7856D11E: to=<<firstname.lastname@example.com>>, relay=none, delay=88382, delays=88360/22/0/0.74, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mail.myserver.com[10.0.0.4] while receiving the initial server greeting)
I can telnet from both servers w/o issue, and dns is setup correctly. Both resolve correctly and without issue.
Any ideas where I should start?
