Day 6 in Birmingham, AlabamaWritten by on June 10, 2010
The ride from Chattanooga to Regions Park Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama was the shortest trek of Power Tour, which gave everyone the chance to get to venue a little earlier. The day was a scorcher but nowhere was it hotter than at the RideTech Street Challenge Autocross.
RideTech set up a demanding autocross and invited 200 cars to take it on. The drivers attacked the course all day and kept their tires happy as burnouts and squealing rubber was a part of almost every run. On the line were some impressive prizes with the fastest run snagging a $1000 RideTech gift certificate. Second place drove off with a $500 gift certificate and third got $250. Look for results here when they become available.
The RideTech mobile display rig was right there at the starting line showing off the latest in air suspension, coilover, electronic leveling, and electronic shock technology. Their techs were also on hand to answer any suspensions questions. If you missed them in Birmingham be sure to stop by in Mobile, Alabama as we steer south for the final day of Power Tour.
One event that has become a tradition on Power Tour is Comp Cams Engine Builder Duel. The competitive event pits two teams against each other to see who can assemble and start their engine the fastest. This year the event took place in Bowling Green, Chattanooga and Birmingham.
Each engine is prepped the same way by techs from Comp Cams. The crankshaft is already installed in the GM small block along with four pistons and rods. The heads are preassembled. All other parts are prelubed if needed and the oil pumps are primed. So the contestants have to install the remaining four pistons, oil pump, gasket and pan. The the cam gets installed followed by the timing set, timing cover, flywheel and starter. Turning the engine over they continue with the heads, lifters, pushrods and rockers. While assembling the top end a gallon of oil is being dumped in the valley. Once the lifter preload is set the valve covers, the intake, distributor and plug wires are installed. Once the headers are installed and the electrical and fuel connections are made, they start their engine. It must run for one minute. Only then does the clock stop and a winner is declared.
Trent Goodwin from Comp Cams hosted and announced the competition. Each team member of the winning team gets a $250 gift certificate from Comp Cams. There are no losers as second place gets a $100 gift certificate each. So, how did it shake out in Birmingham? Let's find out!

Power Tour veterans and HOT ROD readers know this guy. Chad Reynolds of bangshift.com was on the mic with his unique take on all the action for RideTech.Matt Fuel of Memphis, TN got the crowd fired up with an impressive rolling run in his 1996 Buick Roadmaster.
The line of cars waiting to give the RideTech Street Challenge Autocross a try didn't get much smaller than this all day.More than a few cones fell to aggressive driving. Knocking over a cone was a two second penalty - for each cone downed.The pros at RideTech were there to answer any questions about suspension setups or their latest performance parts.
RideTech thrashed their wicked 1968 Camaro around the course laying down some impress times. Of course, they weren't eligible to win any prizes but it was a blast to watch that car handle.
Our brand new motor coach sponsored SEMA Action Network and Pioneer has made the tour that much for everyone who works hard to bring the Power Tour to each city. everybody involved in putting on the Power Tour has a passion for the event, the cars, and most importantly every participant, spectator, city and sponsor. Its truly a labor of love!Andrew Paul drove his 1967 Chevelle Super Sport convertible all the way from Delray Beach, FL to be a Long Hauler......That power goes through Tremec five-speed and a twelve-bolt with 3.73s before terrorizing the roads.
Gary and Vicky Killeen from Cuba, MO are on their tenth Power Tour with their tenth difference Mopar. This year they brought their newly completed 1960 Plymouth Savoy Wagon......From what Gary has been able to determine this hardtop was an experimental car from Canada and not many made it to the public. Gary has a 500-inch stroked 440 with a six-pack on top. In the pictures you see the hood is missing......Gary had some issues in Chattanooga with the hood and the guys fro Cherry Bomb hauled his hood to Birmingham for him......Once he got the venue the issue was resolved and the Savoy's hood was back in place! There's no stopping a Long Hauler!
When you drive across the country in a truck you built or modified there's going to those times that you have to make a temporary fix.Dave Seeney from Lebo, KS brought '84 GMC pickup to Power Tour this year. It sports a 383 with a 700R4 that gets 15mpg.Before Birmongham the fan controller went out. So Dave hardwired the fans to make it through the tour and get back to Lebo.Team RHS is a husband and wife team from Springville, AL-Lisa and Danny Morrison. Not only are they the only husband and wife team to compete, Lisa gave birth to twins a scant four months ago!Team Comp is composed of Ken Farris from St. Augustine, FL and Tim Webber from Sanford, FL. They predict they'll enjoy themselves and finish "sometime today."
A small block Chevrolet engine with crankshaft and four pistons pre-installed for both teams is ready and waiting.Once Team Comp finishes the pistons their teamwork really starts to show. Tim installs the cam, timing chaing and timing cover, while Ken installs the oil pan gasket, oil pump and pan.
With the valve covers installed, Team Comp drops the distributor in and attaches the plug wires. The cap and wires were preassembled by the Comp technicians.After one minute Team RHS sets the fastest time of the week with a time of 26:08! Ya, 26 minutes and 8 seconds. One minute of the all-time Power Tour record!
On the first attempt Danny realizes the distributor is 180 off and has to reset it. When it doesn't fire at that point he calls it with a time of 42:08. But he wouldn't walk away without firing that engine, so with a couple more tries it briefly fires before dying with the timing still out of place. Great spirit and determination though Teamp RHS. No shame on your part!

Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup)
Thai Coconut and Chicken Soup – this soup is hearty and so yummy and SUPER easy to make | rasamalaysia.com
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
8 oz boneless and skinless chicken (breast or thighs, cut into strips or thin pieces)
20 canned straw mushrooms
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1 cup water
1 stalk lemongrass (cut into 3-inch lengths and pounded)
6 kaffir lime leaves (lightly bruised to release the flavor)
6 slices galangal
8 bird's eye chilies (lightly pounded)
3 tablespoon fish sauce
2 1/2 tablespoon lime juice (or to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup)
Tom Kha Gai is Thai coconut chicken soup. The BEST and EASIEST recipe to make authentic coconut chicken soup that is a zillion times better than takeout.
This Tom Kha Gai recipe was originally posted in August 2, 2009. Updated with new photos.
Tom Kha Gai—everyone's favorite Thai coconut chicken soup—is one of the Thai recipes that I have always always loved but never did. Why? Because there are plenty of good Thai restaurants in the US that serve pretty authentic Thai food.
So, it's no surprise that this is my virgin Tom Kha Gai—my first attempt at home. It was easier than I thought, and the Tom Kha Gai turned out really good and tasted exactly like what it should be: milky, aromatic, sour, salty, and super appetizing.
The main ingredient of Tom Kha Gai is galangal, or "Tom Kha" in Thai. "Gai" means chicken. The more I cook Thai food, it dawns to me that Thai recipes are pretty much variations of the following Thai ingredients:
1) Fish sauce (nam pla)
2) Coconut milk
3) Kaffir lime leaf
4) Galangal
5) Lemongrass
6) Palm sugar
7) Bird's eye chilies
8) Nam prik phao (roasted chili paste)
9) Cilantro (coriander)
10) Lime
If you have the ingredients above, you can pretty much whip up any good Thai recipes as you wish. Below is my Tom Kha Gai recipe, which I adapted from my favorite Thai cookbook: Thai Cooking Made Easy.

Well we have had a whale of a time recently judging our photo competition. We'd like to run it every week because it's so much fun looking at the images we get sent by you all! We have to say we're very glad that in the end we left the choice of winner to you as we're not sure we would have been able to choose between the stunning entries we received.
So first of all we bring you the runners up, in no particular order….
Some of the comments this lovely image received from our facebook page "This has to win!! VW camper tea cosy on tour!", " Love it. Will bring our camper alongside and share tea and cake!" We really loved the planned yet natural composition in this image and the perfect tea cosy, ordered to compliment the beautiful van, named 'May Green'.
And next…
There are so many lovely things to this image. Of course the beautiful wire haired fox terrier, named Tabitha is a delight but we also love the idea of making a cushion out of our lovely tea towels, it looks great. Here are a few of the comments from our facebook page. " Close call, but what a face – had to vote!", " I like this one, not sure if its just because I like the live version though! No, its the cushion too!!" A beautiful shot and a very close runner up.
And so to our last runner up (you may remember there were only supposed to be 2 runners up but we had such great entries that we had to have 4 finalists!)…
This was a real favourite at Treffry towers, with two such beautiful models and such a cosy, cakey, tea time theme we couldn't help but love it. "too cute and love all the accessorizing (I have some too!)" This shot was entered by a tea room in Hampshire which looks well worth a visit, the Parlour tearoom.
Congratulations to the 3 runners up, please drop us a line to firstname.lastname@example.com with your postal address and we'll get your goody bags sent to you.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for… Our winner. Please give a big hand to…
This cheeky chappy was the most popular with you voters and clearly stole some hearts out there, receiving comments like "A vote for the outrageously dapper Mr. Best and his mint green 'man bag' xx", "This bag is lovely, and the dog of course…roll on payday!" and so much other praise for the dog that our little handbag started to feel left out!
A fab image and a worthy winner, we thank you Mr George Best welsh terrier and we look forward to seeing what you choose with your £150 to spend on our website or in our St Ives shop.
Thanks to everyone who entered and look out for a new competition soon.

Freeze Plugs - The Freeze PlanWritten by on November 1, 2008 Tips For Installing Fool-Proof Freeze Plugs
In your racecar, a cracked block from frozen coolants in the winter isn't usually the problem. Leaking freeze plugs that dump coolant on the track, however, is. If you have a freeze plug work its way loose either from the vibrations from an engine operating at extended high-rpm levels or from occasional overheating, the coolant dump is usually right in the path of your rear tires. And a spin-out or wreck from a faulty plug is the last thing you want.
Of course, it is rare for a freeze plug to pop all the way out and dump coolant all over the racetrack. The more common problem is a slow leak that aggravates you to death. It is hardly worth pulling the engine to replace one plug, but the result is a slow coolant leak that constantly makes your car nasty.
With that in mind, here are a few tips for installing leak-free freeze plugs.
In high-performance applications where a failure can be worth big money, engine builders will often "pin" the freeze plugs to further ensure they won't come out. The process is fairly simple and you can do it yourself. Drill three holes just above the lip of each plug (on the chamfer of the plug bore in the block). Use a No. 38 bit and drill the holes on a 45-degree angle until they are approximately 0.300-inch deep. Now you can tap the holes and use button-head screws or use freeze-plug pins made specifically for this task. These pins save you the effort of having to tap each hole. Just use Loctite on the pins just like you do the plug itself.

Freeze plugs can normally be bought in packs sized specifically for your engine from most automotive stores.You generally want to avoid the steel plugs (left) and instead use brass freeze plugs (right). Since most racers run pure water in their cooling systems, the steel plugs can corrode and may eventually weaken and leak. Brass plugs won't corrode, but you will have to be careful on installation because they are softer and can easily be deformed. I got these from my local speed shop that supports racers.Most packs of freeze plugs for Chevrolet small-blocks will also include several press-in plugs for the front of the main oil galleries. These are used in stock builds but have no place in racing. Throw these out and replace them with 1/4-inch pipe plugs just like the ones used in the rear of the block.If you need to remove an old set of freeze plugs, the easiest method that also won't hurt the block is to use a punch and hammer. Place the punch on the lip of the freeze plug and knock that side of the plug in to spin it in the hole. If you try to place the punch inside the cup of the plug you will just knock a hole in it. Be careful not to scar the block.Once you get the plug spun in the hole, you can use a pair of pliers to pry the plug from the block.Remember the press-in plugs we showed you earlier? The three holes in the front of the block for the oil galleries are where they are intended. Instead of using them, tap the first portion of the galleries with a 1/4-18 npt pipe tap and plug the holes with a 1/2-18 pipe plug that you can get from most automotive or hardware stores. Make sure to use liquid thread seal to prevent leaks.Before installing your freeze plugs, take a moment to make sure the holes in the block don't have any dirt or crud that will keep the plug from making a good seal. If there is any, you can usually get it out with lacquer thinner, a Scotchbrite pad, and a little effort.For racing, you don't want to take any chances with a coolant leak. You can use Loctite (either red or green) to help cement the plug into place. The Loctite not only helps keep the freeze plug from working loose, it also expands to seal any scratches or gouges in the block's freeze plug bore.There are specific ways to install freeze plugs without warping or otherwise distorting them so that they won't leak. This is especially critical with softer brass plugs. Never hit the plugs directly with a hammer. Many professional engine builders will have punches sized specifically for the plugs, but you can do the same thing with a large socket. For Chevys a 11/8 socket is just about right. Try to drive the plug in square with the bore and just until the lip of the cup is flush with the block.
The problem with using a socket is it can be difficult to get a grip on it and drive the plug in nice and even. If you have a seal driver set, it makes driving freeze plugs a lot easier.The handle on the seal driver gives you better control. Use a size that completely covers the plug. Then drive the plug into the bore until the seal driver contacts the side of the bore all the way around. This ensures that the plug is the correct depth and square to the bore.

102mm achro for cheap
Posted 02 July 2013 - 06:25 PM
102mm NexStar GT $119 shipped!
Holy smokes, Batman! This is one good deal. I don't need a 4" achro right now, thank you, and F/9.8 is a little too long for my preference, but how often does a fellow see a brand new, shipped to your door, 4" refractor with Celestron warranty for $120? We live in interesting times, amigos. Now it comes with almost nothing. There's an attachable dovetail, so not even tube rings, but it is a Vixen style, so pretty universal to mount. You'll need a mount, diagonal(s), eyepieces ... but, if you have those things and want a second scope to putz around with, or have been out of things for a while and need something to play with, without arousing the wife's financial ire, this is the ticket!

Free shipping from Ca. Amazing. My old Burgess 127 is kinda big to set up for short sessions, so I will try the 102. I used to have a 90mm F10 scope and regretted selling it. Frankly I have not been viewing for a while, so maybe the new toy will motivate me. Thanks for posting this great deal on the forum. About as good as the recent 90mm frenzy. :jump:

In my instance I intend to set this up as a loaner. I have a spare low end 2" diagonal and a 6x30 finder ( I think its an orion). I also have a low end 2" 30mm widefield that will give 33x with over a 2 degree afov and then can sprinkle in 3 plossls,9mm,12.5mm and 17mm. Throw in a 2x barlow and this scope will be able to provide a wide range of viewing options. I'll mount this ota on a cg5 with dual drives. Before loaning out we will have to give whoever a fair amount of basic instruction on using a gem. Bottom line,this will be a great learning scope for someone with a moderate interest level.BTW,if I was'nt using this as a loaner I would still use the same basic arrangement as described,buying what I needed used on either cnights or amart.You can find used 1.25" diagonals often in the 20-30 dollar range. A used finder 30-50mm,with mounting shoe (use a orion/celestron),30-45 bucks and then a wide variety of used eyepieces as cheap as say 20 bucks apiece( meade 4000 chinese plossls,orion sirius plossls,etc) if your patient.
Posted 05 July 2013 - 11:27 AM
Continuing my education--
What hardware would you suggest as a mount for a Porta II, and what hardware would you suggest to mount the ota on a cg5? A link to a product helps--I'm a visual learner :-)

I've never had or used a porta 11 and cant answer in that regard.However this ota comes with a vixen dovetail which would mount directly to a cg5 or current version of a cg4.
Posted 06 July 2013 - 07:00 PM
I'm really very pleased with mine. Rings, dovetail, diagonal and finder all from CN classifieds.
My friend, if I'm understanding right, the scope comes with the dovetail but is in need of rings--no? Also, what is that mount in the picture.
Thank you!
Posted 06 July 2013 - 07:24 PM
The short dovetail that is screwed onto the 102 GT tube is of little use.
Rings and a new longer dovetail attached to the rings let you balance heavier eyepieces and a finder.
The sale scope would need:
+ mount
+ rings and longer dovetail
+ diagonal
+ you already said you need mid-high power eyepieces for lunar viewing
I got a pair of Orion 100mm tube rings and 8-inch dovetail. It's OK on my Porta (original) but sits higher off the ground on an old pier-mounted equatorial mount. Being able to use a 2-inch diagonal and widest field eyepiece (for over 2 degree field of view) makes the scope pretty versatile.

I concur that the built-in dovetail is the pits, and only barely acceptable if you will be using the lightest eyepieces combined with a small plastic-fantastic red dot finder such as is provided in some of these scope packages, and not much more.
I already have a 13" vixen-type dovetail here waiting to be used from a previous order from Agena Astro. But the Orion accessory sale makes these dovetails intriguingly priced: (I was slightly tempted to get an extra one or two but didn't. You already know to factor in shipping, and tax if you are in CA) http://www.telescope...Orion-Doveta... (no affiliation with Orion except for several successful purchases from them over the years)

Whatever your skin type, cleansing plays a vital role in giving you the radiant complexion that you desire. For oily and combination skin, cleansing removes excess sebum, reducing shine and decreasing the likelihood of breakouts. If you are battling signs of aging, cleansing washes away impurities that can dehydrate, irritate and weaken your skin and exacerbate the problem of lines and wrinkles.

Iowa State No-Hits Jackson State, 16-0
BATON ROUGE, La. – A nine-run fourth inning and the first combined no-hitter in Iowa State history led the Cyclones to a five-inning 16-0 win over Jackson State Friday afternoon at Tiger Park during the Purple & Gold Challenge. The win improved Iowa State to 13-3 on the season.
No-No For Two
Starter Katie Johnson and Stacy Roggentien did not concede a hit in the five innings of play. It marked the 13th no-hitter in Iowa State softball history, the first since current volunteer assistant coach Tori Torrescano no-hit Elon last season, and the first no-hitter put together by more than one ISU pitcher. Of the 13 no-hitters in ISU history, eight have happened in games that only went five innings.
Johnson pitched the first three innings, walking just one. Roggentien, making just the second appearance of her young Iowa State career, finished the last two innings, allowing two walks and getting the only ISU strikeout of the game.
Jackson State has now been no-hit by two Big 12 teams this season, also not getting a hit against Kansas last weekend.
The Nine-Run Fourth Inning
Already up 5-0 after three innings, the Cyclones were aiming to add three more runs to get above the eight-run requirement to end the game after five innings. Iowa State went above and beyond the call of duty.
Jackson State relief pitcher Sybil Lozano struggled to find the strike zone, allowing Sara Rice to score on an illegal pitch to make it 6-0 Iowa State. Sarah Hawryluk then recorded a single to score Brittany Gomez to increase the score to 7-0 Cyclones. After a Sara Davison double that advanced Hawryluk to third, Hawryluk came home during Aly Cappaert's at-bat on a wild pitch for an 8-0 score.
Cappaert walked and led to one of the oddest plays of the season. Lexi Slater hit a single to left-center field to score Davison, her fifth RBI of the game, Cappaert hustled to make it to third and beat the throw by JSU shortstop Lauren Aikens. However, the throw eluded the third baseman and Cappaert headed for home. The throw home to try and get Cappaert was late and lost, allowing enough time for Slater to come home and score on her own single. Due to the errors on the play, Slater was not credited with a home run, but pushed the ISU lead to 11-0.
Rachel Hartman and Jorden Spendlove then reached on a double and single, respectively, to get runners on second and third with only one out. During Sara Rice's at-bat Hartman scored on another illegal pitch to up the score to 12-0 and the next pitch, Spendlove scored on a wild pitch to up the lead to 13-0. Rice got hit by a pitch, pinch hitter Megan McGuire walked on four pitches to put two on. JSU finally got the second out via Gomez, but Rice's pinch runner, Sam Reyes, made it 14-0 by coming home on a passed ball. After a Hally Lenzine, pinch hitting for Hawryluk, walk, Davison flew out to end the nine-run inning.
Player of the Game
Lexi Slater. The best offensive game of the season by a Cyclone hitter, the junior shortstop made her intentions known with a first-inning three-run home run that just stayed fair to get the Cyclones on the board. Slater's second at-bat, in the top of the third, got her fourth RBI of the game with a single down the middle to score Davison and move ISU ahead 5-0.
Then came her RBI single that she managed to score on. Though she was only credited with one RBI, she helped bring home three runs on the play to up the ISU lead to 11-0.
Slater then locked up her first-career four hit game with a single in the top of the fifth.
Slater's final line read: 4-for-4, one home run (her third of the season), three runs and five RBIs. She finished the game with a career-high on hits and runs and was only one off her RBI career-high. Slater had six RBIs against Brown in 2012.
On Deck
Iowa State returns to Tiger Park tomorrow for a doubleheader. The Cyclones start the day at 11:30 a.m. against Harvard and will follow that up with a 4:30 p.m. showdown against No. 21 LSU.
The game against LSU can be viewed by Cyclones.TV subscribers on the Cyclones.TV web player. The feed will be produced by the LSU Athletics Department.

The Riviera Maya (Image: Shutterstock/Actidea)Microsoft Research hosted the eighth annual Latin American Faculty Summit in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, from May 23 to 25, 2012. The theme of the 2012 Summit was "Technologies in Action." For the 2012 Latin American Faculty Summit, Microsoft Research united academic and government researchers; educators; and Microsoft researchers, product group engineers, and architects to explore new opportunities in computer-science research and advances that address world-scale challenges in such diverse disciplines as healthcare and wellbeing, energy and environment, and educational and social progress. The program consisted of a variety of keynotes, talks, panels, workshops, and demonstrations.
Technologies in Action
The need to solve real-world problems, whether social or scientific, has provided the impetus for technological advancements over the years; computing research and technology provide novel approaches to meet these challenges. For years, multidisciplinary researchers have been employing computational innovations to advance investigations in the sciences. New developments in the world of computation have changed the landscape and offer new capabilities to scientists who are interested in increasing their ability to process and understand vast amounts of data. Increasingly, information is stored in the cloud rather than locally, scientists are looking at new ways to interact with data, and computational advantages are being applied to an ever wider range of disciplines.
About CONACYT
The National Council on Science and Technology (CONACYT) is responsible for the design and execution of science and technology policies in Mexico. CONACYT's aims are to consolidate a National Innovation System that responds to the priority demands of Mexico, provide solution to specific problems and needs, and help raise the standard of living and social wellbeing through five core objectives:
- Establish short-, medium-, and long-term state policies to strengthen the links between education, basic and applied sciences, and technology and innovation.
- Promote the decentralization of scientific, technological, and innovation activities in order to help advance regional development.
- Finance basic and applied sciences, technology, and innovation.
- Invest in scientific, technological, and innovation infrastructure.
- Provide accountability to public investments in the development of science and technology, high-quality human resources training, research and development, and innovation.
By fulfilling these objectives, CONACYT—along with other Federal Government agencies and entities, as well as with the production sector—will help increase Mexico's contribution to the generation, acquisition, and dissemination of knowledge, and to advance the sciences and technology in Mexico.
As part of its international collaboration agenda, CONACYT is pleased to partner with Microsoft to present the 2012 Microsoft Research Latin American Faculty Summit.

We are quite unhappy with our current Zimbra Hosted Provider. Can anyone provide any suggestion on who the best providers are? The Partner page shows a lot of Partner\Providers but it's hard to gauge the quality of their services. In a nutshell, we aren't as concerned with how current their versions are as long as they are completely reliable and deeply knowledgeable with Zimbra.
Thanks, much appreciated.

they catch up with just about any horse... only the top ones can maintain the same speed as the police... but if you try to go left or right, they always take the perfect angles so, it doesn't really matter what horse your on when the police are chasing...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Ryan to appear at Waukesha town hall
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) -- Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is coming back to his home state of Wisconsin for a campaign appearance.
Ryan is scheduled to appear Monday at a town hall at Carroll University in Waukesha. Doors open at 7 a.m. at Van Male Field House, and the program begins at 8 a.m.
Ryan's appearance follows Vice President Joe Biden's scheduled trip to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Friday.
Biden and Ryan are squaring off in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign Thursday night in Kentucky.
DANVILLE, KY (CBS NEWS) -- Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Paul Ryan are squaring off in their first and only debate before Election Day. Their meeting comes just over a week after the first presidential debate, which gave a boost to the Romney-Ryan campaign.
Biden and Ryan greeted each other warmly but it didn't take long for the fireworks to begin.
Ryan: "When we look weak, our adversaries are much more willing to test us, they're much more brazen in their attacks."
Biden: "With all due respect that's a bunch of malarkey, because nothing he said is accurate."
Both candidates appeared engaged when speaking and when listening to their opponent, with Vice President Biden often smiling or laughing while Ryan was speaking. The two squabbled over entitlement programs.
Ryan:"Medicare and Social Security did so much for my own family, we are not going to jeopardize this program, but we have to save it."
Biden: "You are jeopardizing the program, you are changing the program from a guaranteed benefit to premium support, whatever you call. The bottom line is people are going to have to pay more out of their pocket."
The stakes were high for both candidates heading into the debate. After last week's match-up, Mitt Romney gained ground on President Obama in the polls.
The two sounded off on the biggest issue of the campaign, the economy.
Biden: "They're holding hostage the middle class tax cut to the super wealthy."
Ryan: "There aren't enough rich people and small businesses to tax to pay for all their spending."
Both candidates will take their messages on the road Friday. Ryan has campaign appearances in Ohio, Biden will speak in Ryan's home-state of Wisconsin.
KENTUCKY (WIFR) -- Incumbent Joe Biden and Janesville native Paul Ryan are getting ready for their first and only showdown.
Tonight, Biden will be trying to stop the republican ticket's momentum coming out of the first presidential debate. A new CBS news poll from three key battleground states suggests Romney is getting a boost from his performance. In Wisconsin, President Obama's 6 point lead has been cut in half, and Romney now leads in Colorado. We caught up with Congressman Don Manzullo, to get his take on how important tonight's face-off will be.
"The future of our country is at stake. You have to know what is going on. I don't know if it's going to move the polls as much as we saw in the presidential race but it doesn't take much to win an election when especially when things are this tight," said Manzullo.
The VP debate begins at 8:00 p.m. tonight right here on 23 WIFR and will last for 90 minutes without commercial interruption.

By PHYLLIS R. Sigal and The Associated Press
Featuring virtual portholes, interactive dining experiences and animated art, the Disney Dream, the newest member of its cruising fleet, was unveiled last month in Port Canaveral, Fla.Bill and Sally Bryson, along with Sarah Coleman, all of Uniglobe Ohio Valley, attended the pre-inaugural cruise of the Disney Dream at the end of January.
The Dream, Disney's third cruise ship, follows Magic and Wonder, which began sailing in 1998 and 1999, respectively.
Article Photos
There are a number of innovations and enhancements to this ship, Bill Bryson noted.
"Walt Disney understood that repetition without innovation wasn't interesting or in Disney's words, You can't top pigs with pigs,'" Bill Bryson said. Disney was referring to his 1933 success "Three Little Pigs." He produced sequels to the hit, each with diminishing response. That's when he realized, you can't "top pigs with pigs," which has been the company tenet for decades.
With the third ship in the Disney fleet, Disney's Imagineers "saw an enormous opportunity to expand, enlarge, update, upgrade and improve the experience of the Disney Cruise," according to "Welcome Aboard! The Creation of the Disney Dream," written by Jeff Kurtti.
One of the most exciting new features, Bryson noted, is animated art which immerses guests in Disney storytelling in a completely new way. A piece of art that appears to be static animation begins to move when visitors approach, he explained.
Another fun attraction are the virtual portholes in the ship's inside staterooms. (Nearly 90 percent of the rooms have an ocean view, however.) The virtual portholes offer a real-time view outside the ship, corresponding to the actual location of the stateroom. High-definition cameras placed on the exterior of the ship feed live video to the portholes.
And, every once in a while, one of Disney's characters may pop by the porthole.
"Technology is an enabler throughout the entire ship," Disney Cruise Line President Karl Holz said. "It brings the ship to life in many, many different ways.
"Interactive dining was another innovative attraction, Bryson said, just one of the many features he enjoyed.
Various princesses make visits at the Royal Palace restaurant, while Crush the Turtle interacts with guests at Animator's Palate. A third restaurant, The Enchanted Garden, was inspired by the gardens of Versailles.
Guests have the opportunity to dine in the three restaurants during a three-night cruise, he said. Bryson pointed out that your wait staff follows you to the various restaurants, too.
Also on board is an adults-only restaurant, Palo, and a food court, Cabanas.
A cruise-industry first, the AquaDuck combines the thrill of a coaster and the splashing fun of a water slide on a 765-foot journey around the ship, he said. "We had the opportunity to ride the AquaDuck, and "it is a lot of fun and not too scary," he said.
There also are several pools, a toddler water-play area and a sports deck.Disney offers many opportunities for families, starting with the Small World Nursery for youngsters ages 3 months to 5 years. The Oceaneer Club for ages 3-10 is an oasis that transports young guests to lands of fairies, monsters and undersea exploration. The Oceaneer Lab, also for ages 3-10, offers a journey of discovery and exploration and has scheduled visits from the Disney character, Stitch, Bryson said.
"Tweens," ages 11-13 can enjoy their own private club, "Edge," while 14-17 year olds have their own space in a 9,000-square-foot area called "Vibe," Bryson said.
Bryson noted that character availability is really very good on the cruise ship. While at the Disney theme parks you may be 33rd in line, you aren't too much beyond third in line on the ship, greatly minimizing your wait to say hello to your favorite character.
For adults, The District, offers nighttime entertainment featuring sophisticated bars and lounges. Skyline is an ever-changing venue with "window" views of Paris, New York, Rio, Hong Kong and Chicago.
"Every 20 minutes you feel like you are looking out at a different city," he said.
The main club for adult guests is Evolution, inspired by the evolution of the butterfly. A sports lounge is also available.
"The Disney entertainment is spectacular, as one might expect," Bryson said."The shows on the other two ships have won `best show at sea' nine years running. And the new show rivals the others."
A rain forest themed aromatherapy steam room and sauna are part of Senses Spa and Salon on board the Dream. Spanning two decks, the spa features 19 private treatment rooms, hot tubs, a 2,500-square-foot gym and more.
Ports of call for the Dream include Nassau and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. "On the island, guests are treated to a barbecue lunch and they can choose between the family beach and the adults-only beach. Water sports are plentiful, and even cabanas can be rented for the day," Bryson said.
"Castaway Cay is like a theme park. In addition to white, sandy beaches, there are plenty of water activities for everyone."
"The goal was to create an experience for all generations -- for people who come with grandparents and great-grandparents, for people who come without children," Disney CEO Bob Iger said in an interview with The Associated Press on one of the Dream's first trips out of Port Canaveral. "I think everybody takes out of it what they want, but I think we're providing a tremendous amount of surprise, too.
"The new Dream offers "a lot for anyone, regardless of age," Bryson said. "Disney has a way of making everyone feel special. They've incorporated that into the new ship. It's that magic they are so good at creating, in everything they touch."

I am very interested in deploying Zimbra at my enterprise. Our trusty Postfix/Dovecot setup has been working just fine, but we need the ability to collaborate/share calendars, and we do not want to invest in Exchange when Zimbra looks like it will do what we need.
Here is the scenario: I want to deploy Zimbra community edition, and I do not want to migrate mail boxes away from my current Postfix/Dovecot server. Is it possible to use Zimbra CS while keeping my existing mailboxes on the existing server and still use shared calendars, etc.
Also, can I use Outlook as my client, and share calendars, without needing an Outlook connector? I want everyone to see everybody's calendars, etc.

|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Haxtun Lions Club will host the 9Health Fair at the Haxtun Community Center Saturday, March 16 from 7-11 a.m.
With health care costs being so high, it becomes increasingly difficult for individuals to afford routine screenings that could expose problems early before symptoms are apparent.
The routine screenings provided at the health fair are encouraged as a way to take charge of one's health.
To register for the 9Health Fair, those interested may go to 9health.org and follow the instructions. Further questions can be answered by calling Carl Wilcox at 774-6141 or Vickie Hadeen at 774-6348.

Class Included (inside) winning the 2011 Washington Oaks
CLASS INCLUDED RETURNS TO ACTION SATURDAYVS. STAKES WINNERS IN TOUGH $21,500 ALLOWANCE Michael and Amy Feuerborn's homebred Class Included will make her season debut Saturday in a $21,500 allowance race at 5-½ furlongs for fillies and mares.Voted Top 3-Year-Old Filly in 2011, Class Included comes off a spectacular sophomore campaign that produced three stakes wins and a sweep of both the Washington and British Columbia Oaks. In fact, Class Included was so sharp that her connections raced her against older fillies and mares at Hastings, where she finished second in the $100,000 Ballerina Stakes (G3-C).Now, the daughter of 2004 Top Juvenile Filly A Classic Life, will return to Emerald Downs in a showdown with some familiar faces. Sunday's event is designed as a prep for the $50,000 Hastings Handicap on May 13, and also includes stakes-winning fillies Elusive Noise and Carrabelle Harbor.While Class Included is the probable favorite, Kay Cooper, head assistant and daughter to trainer Jim Penney, said the filly still has to prove herself against older fillies and mares."The hardest transition for a horse to make is from 3-year-old to 4-year-old," Cooper said. "We'll find out if (Class Included) is just an outstanding 3-year-old or if she's a great horse." The Penney barn won't make it any easier for their gray-tailed filly, as Class Included's stablemate Sweet Nellie Brown looks to stave off the up-and-comers. The 5-year-old Sweet Nellie Brown finished the 2011 season on a high note by winning the Belle Roberts Stakes on Washington Cup Day, and she also began 2011 with a snappy victory over Rewritten on opening night. She can run fresh, too."Both horses are training awesome," Cooper said. "It should make for a pretty fun race." The field for Saturday's $21,500 allowance race all carrying 119 lbs.: Elusive Noise, Juan Gutierrez; Sweet Nellie Brown, William Antongeorgi III; Carrabelle Harbor, Gallyn Mitchell; Class Included, Juan Gutierrez, and Kate Winsalot, Joe Crispin.
KIRO'S BILL SWARTZ WINS PRESTIGIOUS AWARDBill Swartz of KIRO Radio has won an Edward R. Murrow for sports reporting for his feature story on the 10-year-old gelding Skyrider.Titled "Born to Run," Swartz' feature previewed horses preparing for the 2011 season and focused on Skyrider, a 13-time winner at Emerald Downs renowned for his strong personality. The Washington-bred gelding retired in seventh place on the track's all-time wins list."I captured the sounds of his work out, his snorts while he was dunking his hay into a bucket of water, and the shoeing procedure," Swartz said. "Having won best sports reporting in the Northwest Region automatically enters me in the national competition. We'll find out whether it beat the other regional entries sometime in June."Swartz, who works for both 710 ESPN and 97.3 KIRO FM, was hired as the morning sports anchor in 2002. His duties also include hosting the Pete Carroll show, Seahawks pre-game interviews, as well as the coaches corner before every Sounders FC soccer match with coach Sigi Schmid.A 1978 graduate of Washington State University, Swartz said winning anything with the name "Murrow" attached to it is extra special since WSU now has the Murrow School of Communications.
Jockey Eliska Kubinova receives customary soaking after her first career victory
IT'S KUBINOVA TIME AT EMERALD DOWNS!With three days in the books, riding apprentice Eliska Kubinova has already powered to first place in the jockey standings with five victories from 21 mounts—including three straight wins on Sunday, April 15.
Coming off a 60-win season at Portland Meadows, the striking 23-year-old Kubinova knew expectations would be high entering Emerald Downs' 17th season. Those expectations didn't just come from trainers, owners and fans, however, as Kubinova has put plenty of pressure on herself to achieve success. And while the native of the Czech Republic has every right to celebrate her early success, she'd much rather find ways to get better. After all, her winning rides Sunday aboard, in order, Renaissance Queen, Pokomoko and Golden N Sweet are turf history. In horse racing, Kubinova knows, people mainly want to know what you can do today—not what you did yesterday or last week."I wouldn't give myself a high grade (for the weekend's rides), because I still made a lot of mistakes," Kubinova said. "I still have more work to do."(And) most of the horses that I rode, I'd been working with since February," she added. "And most of them had been training good, too."Nevertheless, Kubinova is off and running at Emerald Downs. She takes a two-win lead over both Leonel Camacho-Flores and Jennifer Whitaker into Week 2 of the 24-week meeting. And she was tabbed as the meet's inaugural Jockey of the Week, with the ceremony to take place Saturday after the third race.For Kubinova, it's so far, so good, but there's 78 more racing days at the meeting. As for grades, however, veteran race-goers gave Kubinova an A-plus for her early efforts. An apprentice on paper and a veteran on horseback, Kubinova not only notched a natural riding-triple on Sunday, but all five of her wins came with five different trainers.
MARIA ROSSAK TO JOIN EmD JOCKEY COLONY The Emerald Downs jockey colony will add another European female rider when Maria Magdalena Rossak—a native of Slovakia—gets her license Friday to ride at the 2012 meeting. Rossak said she hopes to begin riding races next week.Rossak made headlines as a 16-year-old in 2010 when she became only the second woman jockey to win the Fortuna Czech Derby in Prague, guiding her parents' 3-year-old colt Talgado from last place to win the illustrious event.In 2009, Rossak graduated from the Laffit Pincay Jr. Jockey School at Presidente Remon Racetrack.
UPON FURTHER REVIEW, NOT A WORLD RECORDCat On Base was very fast Saturday while tying the track record with a 1:01.37 clocking for 5-½ furlongs. It turns out, though, that the 4-½-length victory did not equal the world record as previously reported.Rule by Force ran 5-½ furlongs in 1:01.03 on June 22, 2009 at defunct Yavapai Downs in Prescott Valley, Ariz. A 4-year-old at the time, Rule by Force set fractions of :22.08, :43.16 and :54.45 en route to a final time of 1:01.03 (1:01 if timed in fifths) on a fast track in the $9,700 allowance for 3-year-olds and up. Miguel Hernandez was the rider for trainer Lyman Rollins.A 7-year-old gelding now trained by Art Sherman, Rule by Force remains active in Southern California where he most recently finished fifth in a $25,000 claiming race at Santa Anita. The California-bred son of Tribal Rule is 13-for-39 lifetime with earnings of $240,268.For what it's worth, Cat On Base earned a career-high 89 Beyer Speed Figure for his victory Saturday, and Rule by Force got an 88 for his 1:01.03 performance in 2009.Cat On Base joined Willie the Cat and The Great Face as horses to run 5-½ furlongs in 1:01-1/5 at Emerald Downs, and Plenty Zloty and Silvey's Image both ran 5-½ furlongs in 1:01-1/5 at Turf Paradise.
NOTES: Week 1 honors: Jockey-Eliska Kubinova (21-5-3-5); Trainer-Howard Belvoir (22-5-1-1); Owner-Rising Star Stable V & Belvoir; Groom-Charles Mattheisen (Larry Pierce)…Sunday's $21,500 allowance feature race drew a top field of six older runners including the 2008 & 2009 Top Juveniles—Hollywood Harbor and Couldabenthewhisky. The field from the rail out (all carry 118 lbs): Couldabenthewhisky, Gallyn Mitchell; He's All Heart, Juan Gutierrez; Hayjax, Leslie Mawing; Davos, Joe Crispin; Hollywood Harbor, Jose Zunino; Aaron the Baron, Rocco Bowen…Advancement earned a career-high 72 Beyer for his opening night feature race victory. The 4-year-old Doneraile Court colt ran 5-½ furlongs in 1:02.06 on a fast track…A favorable weather forecast is expected for Week 2 of the meet including temperatures in the low 70s Saturday & Sunday…Jacob Pollowitz of Media Relations will fill in for Rob Rao on Saturday's Win, Place Show with Joe Withee at 8 a.m. on Sports Radio KJR 950 AM/102.9 FM…Trainer Chris Stenslie has three stakes winners entered this weekend. In addition to Hollywood Harbor in Sunday's feature, Stenslie sends out 2011 Gottstein Futurity winner Talk to My Lawyer in Saturday's fifth race for 3-year-old fillies, and 2011 Auburn Handicap winner Showme Yourfriends makes his yearly bow in Sunday's seventh race for older $20,000 claimers…Gallant Son will be scratched from Saturday's $100,000 San Simeon Handicap (G3) at Santa Anita, trainer Frank Lucarelli said. Instead, Emerald Downs' Top Juvenile of 2008 will run in the $150,000 San Francisco Mile at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday, April 28. Hudson Landing also is expected to enter the Grade 3 turf event for trainer Blaine Wright…Lucarelli sends out Cruzin the Harbor in Sunday's $30,000 NW1X allowance at Golden Gate. The 3-year-old full brother to Hollywood Harbor debuted with a four-length victory in a $29,000 maiden special weight March 24 at GG…Buddy Dave, a six-time winner and runner-up to Touch of Elegance for Top Claimer in 2011, makes his 2012 debut for trainer Vince Gibson in Friday's sixth race for 3-year-olds and up at 5-½ furlongs…Davos breezed four furlongs in :50-3/5 Thursday for trainer Junior Coffey. The 7-year-old gelding makes his first start Sunday since winning the Longacres Mile consolation on Aug. 21…Jockey Juan Gutierrez begins the week seven wins shy of tying Ricky Frazier for second place in all-time Emerald Downs' wins: The current top 10: Gallyn Mitchell 1,322; Frazier, 886; Gutierrez 879; Frank Gonsalves 561; Kevin Radke 532; Ben Russell 501; Pedro Alvarado 400; Leslie Mawing 400; Nathan Chaves 399; Jennifer Whitaker 385…A $0.50 Pick 5 Carryover of $8,645 is up for grabs Friday in Races 4-8 at Emerald Downs.

Mills was born on March 20, 1966, in Berkeley, CA, the third of three children of Paul and Jan Mills; the former a director of the Oakland Museum of California and the latter a property renovation specialist The couple had married in spite of knowing Paul was homosexual. He later told his son they undertook their union in deference to the repressive climate of America's post-war period, even as Jan subordinated her Jewish roots. After building Oakland's museum into much-respected institution, Paul took the head position at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1970. Consequently, Mills grew up in an artistic, politically conscious household but felt out of place in sunny, wealthy Santa Barbara,...

Many people notice that the first signs of aging appear around the eye area. In fact, the rest of the face may be smooth but with visible lines around the eyes. This is because the eye tissue is thin and delicate, making it susceptible to creases and lines. La Roche Posay Eye Products are specially formulated just for the eyes. Because of the delicate nature of this area of the face, regular treatment products should never be used on the eyes, La Roche Posay Eye Products treat concerns and issues while respecting the delicate nature of the eye area. Even delicate and sensitive skin that often reacts to treatments can use La Roche Posay Eye Products without the worries of irritation.
La Roche Posay Eye Products tackles all of the common concerns of the eye area. Fine lines can often become deep wrinkles known as crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. But the eyes suffer from much more than just wrinkles. Dark circles form when weak capillaries leak blood. The blood then pools under the eyes and makes the entire face look tired and sickly. Puffy bags are also very common and are caused by a build up of excess fluid.
La Roche Posay Eye Products can address all of the problems that plague the eye area, leaving the skin looking and feeling more alive. Even sagging skin that is commonly referred to as crepe paper skin can look firmer and tighter with regular use of La Roche Posay Eye Products.
La Roche Posay Active C Eyes is ideal for those experiencing premature aging, most often caused by excess sun exposure. It works wonders on fine lines as well as deeper wrinkles, smoothing the entire eye area. This is also a very effective product for minimizing dark circles. La Roche Posay Active C Eyes has a light and soft texture that is very pleasant. It absorbs quickly and goes to work on those pesky signs of aging. It is safe for sensitive eyes and can even be used by those who wear contact lenses.
La Roche Posay Redermic Plus Daily Anti-Wrinkle Eyes is an anti-aging treatment that works to fill in deep wrinkles while also improving tone and elasticity. This is a highly concentrated treatment product that is very effective at repairing past damage while also protecting the skin against further signs of aging. Vitamin C in its pure form restores youthfulness and brightens the skin. Hyaluronic Acid helps the skin tissue retain water, preventing dryness and dehydration.
La Roche Posay Hydraphase Eyes is ideal for dehydrated skin that has puffiness under the eyes and on the lids. The cooling texture instantly refreshes, hydrates and tightens to leave tired eyes looking rested and calm.

To the editor:
I find it incredible that a do-nothing Congress would abdicate its responsibility to the president for handling the way sequester would be dealt with.
They should have named those cuts years ago, themselves. Congress wants the president to ease the pain of mandated sequester cuts. Could it be just another ploy in their blame game?
If the president made the cuts as painless as possible, no one would notice and they could say it worked. If it caused major problems, they could say the president did little to ease the pain so it is his fault.
The Senate rejected the idea, but that, too, was part of this Congress� ploy � at least they tried!
Aren�t spending of two unfunded wars, bailouts, the loss of revenue due to a tanking economy, stagnant middle incomes and tax loopholes all part of the problem?
Isn�t the solution to address both tax and revenue? Must we need wait years to elect a less parsimonious group to deal with this?
