If we are Christians, we should all walk the way Paul tells us to walk.
2 Corinthians 5:7-10 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
I want to say a couple of things about Scott Travis. He is always stepping up for Taylorsville. My family and I know him as a neighbor and friend. Everyone knows he is a farmer, which is a 24/7 job, but this man will stop to help and talk to you. I want him to know how much we appreciate him. There are not many like him.
Scott we love and appreciate you for your everyday love and friendship. You deserve to be noticed. You're the greatest.
Terry, Jane and Donnie Smith
Spencer County
Recently, our community lost a wonderful soul with a giving spirit. Even in his passing, Bernard Lilly was thinking of a way to give back. His family requested that memorial gifts be sent to Spencer County Habitat for Humanity. We would just like to thank those who honored his request and his wife, Teresa, who supported his wishes.
Jan. 2, 2012, Antennas Unlimited provided Bill Karrer a job estimate to construct a 250-foot ROHN 45G antenna tower. Nothing in Fiscal Court had been mentioned about an antenna tower or new radio system yet. Obviously Bill Karrer, the fiscal court judge, requested the estimate sometime in 2011.
My husband, Darwin Thomas, proudly represented Spencer County as Salt River Electric director for about 20 years.
Last year when he became ill, Darwin put a lot of thought into who he considered a dependable leader to complete his term as director for the county. The person Darwin nominated was Garry Mann. His fellow SRE directors agreed and voted to appoint Garry to the position to complete Darwin's term.
I have heard many people say, "I will never inherit anything, because all my people are poor." The way I look at this, it makes no difference what we have on earth, we can still be very rich and inherit much more than what is on Earth.
It is very simple to do. Accept Jesus Christ as your savior and become a child of God. At the time you accept Jesus, God adopts you into his family and we become the children of God and become brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ.
It is with great appreciation that I thank Taylorsville Police Chief Toby Lewis for his initiating and completing two large cleanup projects for Spencer County Public Schools. The first was the ditch line at Taylorsville Elementary School across from the public library. The second area is the hillside at Hillview Academy.
This past week I accompanied my granddaughter, Maddie, a senior at Spencer County High School, to Signature HealthCare in Taylorsville. A school project encouraged her to make this visit.
While there, Maddie shared her sweet smile, love, concern and best wishes by giving a carnation and a Happy St. Patrick's Day note to each resident. She was welcomed with much love from each one she visited.
Once again, I am penning a letter in hopes the Spencer County superintendent and the school board get their heads out of the sand and find the protection of our children at our learning institutions a number-one priority. My previous letter of January this year stated my concerns and specific incidents, which are roughly three months old, and nothing has changed in this time. Haggling the bids for security, evidently an unproductive process as well.
Judge-Executive Bill Karrer never seems to think things out and never has a plan to finish what he starts. From the time he has come into office, he has shot from the hip while blindfolded. He has made so many irresponsible decisions it would be hard to list them all here. He seldom includes the Fiscal Court in his actions and then they have to clean up his mess at the next Fiscal Court meeting. When he first took office, he tried to fire Steve Clark in a seemingly vindictive action and Fiscal Court overturned that action.

by Mothers Lounge
Regular price: $24.95
Sale price: $14.95
The Belly Button is a soft, comfortable, unique maternity band for pants that helps you stay comfortable in your regular pants longer. Free shipping qualified! Unlike other belly bands that rely exclusively on elastic to keep them in place, The Belly Button Maternity Band has a button that allows it to attach to your pants and jeans to keep it secured and in place.
You can use this maternity band for pants from your first trimester through nursing! As your belly grows, the maternity band accommodates your different sizes, so you can delay purchasing maternity pants or avoid it altogether—saving lots of money. After birth, The Belly Button Maternity Bands comes in handy again, helping you wear your pre-pregnancy pants sooner.
Order The Belly Button Maternity Band based on your pre-pregnancy size:
Small: pre-pregnancy 2-4 (26-27" waist)
Medium: pre-pregnancy 6-8 (28-29" waist)
Large: pre-pregnancy 10-12 (30-31" waist)
X Large: pre-pregnancy 14-16 (32-33" waist)
The Belly Button Maternity Band Instructions: Simply button your pants to the inside of The Belly Button Maternity Band to add inches to the waist of your pants. The Belly Button Maternity Band conceals your unbuttoned pants and gives you a modern, layered look. Machine washable.
Mothers Lounge was founded in 2005 by Utah mom Jenny Pierce. With her first child, Jenny struggled with breastfeeding, especially keeping track of which side she had last nursed and how long her baby had last nursed. Being sleep-deprived and new to breastfeeding didn't make it any easier. When she was pregnant with her second child, she realized she wasn't looking forward to breastfeeding again. After her sister-in-law called her with breastfeeding frustrations of her own, Jenny knew she wasn't alone in needing a nursing aid. To help her sister-in-law continue breastfeeding, and to make it easier for other new moms, too, Jenny created Milk Bands in 2005. She and her husband are now raising four children and continuing to develop new brands of products, including The Belly Button Maternity Bands, to make life easier for pregnant and new mothers.

World markets wage war on global piracy and counterfeiting
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—"Trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy on a
commercial scale cause significant financial losses for rights holders and legitimate
businesses," the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) asserts in a new
report that identifies select online and physical marketplaces that engage in and
facilitate substantial piracy and counterfeiting.
USTR Michael Froman announced five days ago the findings of the 2013 Out-of-Cycle
Review of Notorious Markets, which identifies markets around the world that harm
businesses and undermine workers through the infringement of intellectual property
rights (IPR).
The annual review identifies both online and physical marketplaces engaging in
commercial-scale IPR infringement. Publication of this report helps the United States
and its trade partners prioritize enforcement of the intellectual property rights that
protect job-supporting innovation and creativity around the world.

A west Alabama county commissioner Tuesday attended his first official county meeting since his recent arrest.
Almost two weeks ago, Choctaw County Commissioner Mark Gibson was charged in a fraud case in Choctaw County.
It involved a county-owned bush hog that was discovered in a scrap yard.
The 54-year-old Gibson is currently free from jail on $5,000 bond.
His case is expected to be presented to a grand jury in August.

Jieh! I have finally have the privilege to say it out loud! haha.. Only this time lah. Because the first time is always the special one aite? Yah right.. I just made that up haha!
I first join Nuffnang on 22nd April 2009 and I began to like what they have to offered. At first I was very curious when I saw their ads on the frequent blog I visited. I'm like, what the hell is this thing called Nuffnang? Unique but weird name. Lidah melayu sebut 'Naff nang'. Lidah omputih sebut 'Naff neng'. You get it, right? I instantly register without no question! Such a brave act I think. Tanpa review dari sesiapa.
After register baru lah I buat research dengan mencari entry berkaitan Nuffnang. Its quite interesting because you can actually make a quite decent of money from this. Awesome right? After waiting and waiting for the earnings to increase (which hasn't), I terus sedih dan hampir give up ok? 10 sen, 20 sen, 30 sen.. lepas tu nyanyi Esah 50 sen.. 50 sen.. gila.. Bila nak rm50 ++ nih??? (supaya boleh cashout) Haha.. Barulah sedar, bukan senang nak senang.. Sabar sabar..
After 7 month which is on November 2009, I can finally cash out wehu! Walaupun hanya Rm51.65, it is still money ey? Tak sehebat Redmummy dan Hanis Zalikha yang monthly boleh dapat 3k++. Sheeshhhh sangat best tu..
Work hard and learn from Sifu. Sila tunjuk ajar ku sifu!

Purchasing and Storing Fresh Chicken: Remember these food safety tips when purchasing fresh chicken. First, put fresh chicken into your grocery cart just before checking out of the store. Make sure the chicken is very cold to the touch and the package is not torn or leaking. Place chicken package inside a plastic bag before placing in the grocery cart to keep any juices from touching other food items. At home, immediately refrigerate chicken and use within 2 days. Or, overwrap with heavy-duty aluminum foil or freezer paper and freeze for up to 6 months.
Add 1/4 cup sliced black olives along with tomato and cheese.

My family loved this recipe
Very easy to make, I did substitute the miracle whip for sour cream and it was good but way to hot!!! I used the 1 tbsp of chili powder when I should have only used 1/2 or even just a tsp. It was still good just too hot for my family.
This was so easy to make and delicious. I used brown rice since I didn't have the instant type. I just cooked it in the skillet with plenty of water about 30 min. I then added chicken bullion rather than the boxed type, put the chicken and rest of ingredients, covered it and cooked another half hour.

To the editor:
Watch the news or read the comments to articles in your local paper or on Facebook. It is obvious that we in this country think differently. The fact is with so much difference our leaders don�t come to any agreement when attempting to make decisions.
Social media makes it easy to express ideas and opinions and share them with everyone you know and don�t know. We have the tools at our fingertips to review and verify just about anything that is reported.
This babble is to bring up one point: President Barack Obama and many of his party lied to the American people or, at the very least, did not verify what they sold the people about healthcare whether we voted for them or not.
This is a blatant falsehood and misrepresentation to us. It is worthy of action that should remove every one of them from office, if not today when election time arrives. If you know any number of people that pay for health insurance, you will know someone adversely affected by the new falsely represented unaffordable health care plan.
Wake up America. Those of you that supported this plan should be angrier than those of us that never did.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Before the Miami Heat embark on an upcoming two-
week, six-game road swing, they had to take care of business in the finale of
a brief homestand against the Brooklyn Nets.
They did just that for a 11th straight time.
LeBron James finished two assists shy of a triple-double in the Heat's 103-73
rout of the Nets.
James tallied 20 points, 12 rebounds and eight helpers, while Dwyane Wade
added 22 points for Miami, which swept its three-game homestand.
Deron Williams scored 14 points, but turned the ball over seven times for the
Nets, who shot just 37.5 percent (30-of-80) from the floor and 14.3 percent
(3-of-21) from beyond the arc.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- For close to 30 years, Country Boy Family Restaurant has been serving up breakfast lunch and dinner on Main Street in Dunedin.
Last week, Kathy Cheek visited the restaurant for the very first time.
"The salad was fairly decent, but the BLT, it was killer," said Cheek.
But what wasn't so great was Country Boy's October 8th health Inspection by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. On the inspection, the state documented 16 critical violations, including improper temperatures on the butter and coffee creamers; grits stored uncovered; no soap at the employee hand sink; and employees not properly washing their hands then touching foods like bread, biscuits, and toast without gloves.
"Should the employees be washing their hands?" we asked Cheek. "Oh, for sure ... Absolutely, that's a must."
But it was the 30 rodent droppings found that left her most disgusted. "Ohhh," she said with a wince.
So what's really going on inside this restaurant's kitchen? Owner Mario Constantinou met us outside to explain how each and every issue was being addressed.
"Well, it's very important to us because we've been here for 28 years and we try to do the best we can," said Constantinou.
He agreed to take us on a tour of his restaurant's kitchen. "We have the chef washing his hands," Constantinou showed us as we walked into the kitchen on our surprise inspection.
Sure enough, there was also soap at the sink, something missing during the state inspection. Food was up off the floor, holes in the ceiling had been fixed, and the ice machine appeared to be crystal clean.
As for the rodent droppings, Mario said they were found under a water heater in the very back corner of the kitchen.
"Still, there is no excuse. But sometimes it happens ... everything is cleaned up," Constantinou assured us.
We were quite impressed with what we saw. The only violation we could find was an open garbage dumpster outside, a problem corrected while we were there.
Longtime employee Bridget DeVaney agreed keeping customers happy and healthy is what's important. "It's the main priority," she said. "That's how they come back. You serve them good food, at a good price, with good service."
With that, we give Country Boy Restaurant our cleaned up kitchen "A-OK."
"I eat here myself three times a day and I'm here for 28 years," said Constantinou. "I want to make sure the place is nice and clean and make sure we take good care of our guests."

Megadeth Madness
Frontman Dave Mustaine talks about reviving thrash-metal sound, getting back into the studio, hitting the road
'(Metal music) is about doing something no one else does,' Mustaine said. Which is why it shouldn't be so surprising that it's constantly changing. And Megadeth, itself, has gone through a metamorphosis. Where once a hard-core image was all the rage, now it's more about the music and bands just being what they are. 'With this one, we're back on track of where we wanted to be as a metal band,' Mustaine said of the group's new CD, 'Super Collider.' 'We hit the nadir of our career with 'Risk,' and I vowed after that we were going to get back to our roots. It took a little bit of time to do that.'But now, he said, the group is back to the hard-charging thrash metal that legions of fans fell for in the first place. Mustaine and his new-old sound will be headlining the Gigantour event at Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook in Gilford on Wednesday, July 3. The show will feature a mix of metal bands hand-picked by Mustaine, including Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and Death Division. The show will be a mix of classics and songs from 'Super Collider.''There have only been a few records so far that I thought were completely done — 'Countdown (to Extinction)' was one and '(Super Collider)' is the other one,' he said. 'When you're recording a record, there's two things ... well, actually, three things, that can happen: You run out of time, run out of money or run out of songs. I never run out of songs.'But they have been short on time. Since Megadeth has always been a touring band, records were slotted into the rare bits of down time, he said. As for money, before returning to a big label, the band was signed to the small independent label Sanctuary. So, running out of money was all too common.'They put out a live record —it was a two-CD record,' Mustaine said, 'and they only mixed one of the CDs. I'm thinking, 'You're kidding, right? You're not going to do this.' So, you know, this is just some of the stuff you guys have to tolerate as music listeners — (things) that, at the time, you really don't know about.'Starting out, the band was considered a 'state of the art, speed-metal band,' he said. But as the metal craze faded and the 1990s saw the rise of alternative and grunge genres —an angsty cousin to metal — bands like Megadeth found themselves in a pickle.'Heavy metal bands had to kind of reinvent themselves,' he said. 'We learned a lot about melody at the time, and it produced five singles and one No. 1 with 'Trust.' When that happens, you tend to get a little excited.'He said that excitement led the band to allow producers to have a heavier hand in the making of their records, resulting in work like the album 'Risk,' which Mustaine said, 'would have been good as a solo record, but not a Megadeth record. And I think the fans agree.'That's not the case with 'Super Collider,' he contends.
'This one has a real aggressive feeling, but doesn't have real juvenile lyrics to ruin it,' he said.
And as for the state of metal today, Mustaine said, it, too, has changed from the hazy heavy days of Led Zeppelin, and even the punk rock-infused days of speed metal. Still, he tries not to pay too much attention.'People would ask me, 'What kind of band are you?',' he said. 'And I would say, 'We're just Megadeth. We're like a jazz-classical-punk outfit with long hair.'
The show starts at 4:30 p.m. with doors open at 3:30 p.m. and parking open at 2:30 p.m. This is an all ages show. Tickets are $23.75, $33, $42 and $58, plus applicable service fees. For more information, log onto meadowbrook.net or call 293-4700.

I am facing a small issue in restoring the old mails to the local folders of Zimbra Desktop.
Recently I re-installed my operating system (CentOS Release 6.2 Kernal Linux2.6.32-220.7.1el6.x86_64). Inadvertently I forgot to store a Backup by exporting the mails in the local folder.
But i have stored a Backup of the Zimbra Desktop Folders (viz. zdesktop) before RE-installing the OS.
Is there any way to restore my old mails to the local folders of the new Zimbra Desktop ?

Summary:Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere--and anyone else he comes across as well. Maybe it's because his deductive powers are so inadequate, his grasp of the obvious so elusive, his command of the language so severely limited and his physical coordination so completely lacking. But while his approach may be unorthodox and often confounding, he always manages to solve the crime--in his own fashion. At least until now.

Surrounded by grateful adoring fans and his beautiful lover, the international pop star Xania, Gluant is felled by a poisoned dart. In ... Full Summary >>

Applying cosmetics can be an enjoyable activity for most women today. It enables them to transform the appearance of their faces in order to accentuate their best features, while minimizing the less-than-pretty aspects of their countenances. While traditional eye pencils were effective, their capabilities often limited their usefulness in creating truly distinctive looks. Today's selection of quality pencils, including those found in the Pur Minerals Eye Liner collection, offer features that enhance the usability of these cosmetic products. In particular, Pur Minerals Eye Liners are mechanical in design and provide a self-sharpening feature that is quite convenient.
Additionally, Pur Minerals Eye Liner products provide long-lasting wear and color, enabling women to apply them once and simply forget about them until it is time to remove them. Moreover, today, it is possible to obtain colors other than the traditional black or brown shades. So much variety is available that women can create a unique look every single day of the week. Isn't it time for you to consider the benefits of using quality products like the ones that are showcased in the line of Pur Minerals Eye Liner solutions?
Creating a fashionable look for your face often begins with your choice of cosmetic products and applicators. Your choices not only determine the colors that appear on your countenance, but they also influence the final results regarding wearability. When you choose one of the currently available Pur Minerals Eye Liner solutions, you obtain a quality product that delivers exceptional, long lasting results each and every time you use it.

DICKERSON, Md. (WUSA) - Cathy Reid remembered her husband Joe Reid who died of breast cancer and all they shared in 29-years of marriage with tears in her eyes.
"Joe had noticed a lump probably months before he mentioned it to me. Joe was an avid weightlifter and he assumed it was a weightlifting injury," Cathy told us.
That was in 2005. Joe said nothing to Cathy until he noticed his nipple had become inverted. She suspected cancer, but having a woman's disease was the farthest thing from her husband's mind. However, a mammogram confirmed the worst. They both were in total shock and devastated by the diagnosis.
Their life together ended with Joe's death in September 2008 from Stage IV breast cancer.
Cathy said, "I never thought when I gave myself a check I should give him one too."
Being a woman is the greatest risk factor for breast cancer, but men are diagnosed with breast cancer and die from it too.
The most recent estimates for male breast cancer just in the United States find that nearly 2,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men and 440 men will die from breast cancer this year.
Before his death, Joe and Cathy founded "Out of the Shadow of Pink" to educate and offer support to men with breast cancer.
"When he was first diagnosed, he wanted someone to talk to and there was no one. Everything they gave us was pink, they gave us little pink goody bags, they had pink nail files and all the information was printed on pink paper. The men are just in the shadows," Cathy said.
On her own now, Cathy wants to shine a bright light on men and breast cancer. She's wants the third week in October declared Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week. She's sent letters to every Maryland legislator, but she hasn't gotten a lot of response back. She did hear from Florida Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite. Brown-Waite will present a resolution on the House floor supporting Cathy's initiative.
To help fund the campaign, Cathy has designed logo hats and shirts and a very special breast cancer awareness bracelet. It has pink stones and one single blue stone to represent the one percent of men that will be diagnosed each year.

Get a new hunting partner or go without him.
That is one reason I fly solo, can't find a good partner.
Well my fall hunt plans are looking like a bust. Originally we thought we would apply for a Colorado high country mule deer hunt....but with the need for the extended vacation time of that hunt we decided to wait. Then we thought we would put in for the Colordao muzzleloader elk hunt and now it looks like those plans have fallen through due to another hunting partner.
This late into the application season anyone got ideas on a decent DIY hunt that I could do without burning my Colorado elk or deer points. I'm open to other states, but so far my Western hunt experience is with Colorado.
Get a new hunting partner or go without him.
That is one reason I fly solo, can't find a good partner.
You might draw a muzzleload deer in unit 78 Co. Same unit 4th season elk rifle might be worth a look. Unit 80 1st rifle for elk might work
If you want to keep your points. You have two choices. You need to get your 2nd pick, or you need to take an OTC tag. 2nd choice bull tag is pretty hard in most units, but it's 100% for an OTC tag. Just take a point as 1st pick, and OTC for a 2nd pick. The other option is to take a cow tag as a 2nd pick, and a point as 1st pick.
As for deer? 2nd picks are hard to get normally. I have a hard enough time getting deer as a 1st pick in my units. Find a unit that gives you the best odds for a 2nd pick.
Take a point for deer, and hunt for elk. It should be enough if you hunt alone.
Come on up to Alaska and do a short fly-in trip for Caribou. Plenty of caribou around and the hunt isn't hard to plan. The last couple weeks of August are best.
The partner deal can be tough. It seems like the guys I go with tend to look at different hunts as a one time thing. Hunted deer with the same guy for 25 years but he lost his job.....
Good luck in your search.
I'll send ya a p.m.

No. 9 Iowa State Suffers First Loss at Oklahoma
Keys to the Game
The Cyclones finished the first half on an 8-0 run to tie the game going into the break. ISU got the first points of the half, but were back on their heels again as the Sooners re-built their lead up to its largest of the game at 59-46.
Iowa State started to get to work at chopping away at yet another large second-half deficit. Down 61-48, ISU went on a 15-5 run via a balanced attack that featured contributions from five players to bring the game back to one possession at 66-63 in favor of the Sooners. Oklahoma went back to the well where they were able to attain their lead as Jordan Woodard his OU's 13th 3-pointer of the game to up its lead to 71-63.
Once again, Iowa State had to chip away again and on the back of Melvin Ejim and a big dunk by Dustin Hogue, Iowa State got the Oklahoma lead down to two at 76-74. Ejim gave Iowa State only its third lead of the game with a 3-pointer with 2:25 to go at 77-76. Oklahoma immediately responded as Ryan Spangler posted up Dustin Hogue for a bucket and a foul. Spangler added the free throw to put Oklahoma back up two.
After an empty Iowa State possession, Oklahoma began to slow the game down. With the shot clock running down it was Buddy Hield, who dominated from deep with six 3-pointers drove to the hole for a lay-in to give Oklahoma a four-point lead. DeAndre Kane could not convert his lay-in and Melvin Ejim could not reach the ball for a put-back opportunity.
Iowa State's offense had another empty possession, meaning it would need the help of missed free throws to keep it close. However, OU was on cue from the charity stripe all day, finishing 18-of-21 and not having its first miss until well into the second half.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Melvin Ejim. The senior carried Iowa State back into the game with a fantastic second half. Ejim finished the game with 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field, six rebounds and three assists.
Cyclone Notes
*The loss marked the end of Iowa State's streaks for most consecutive wins to start a season and the longest winning streak in school history, both at 14 games.
*Melvin Ejim moved up to 19th on Iowa State's all-time scoring list, passing "The Roland Rocket", Gary Thompson (1,253 points, 1955-57) and Robert Estes (1,259 points, 1979-82). Ejim now has 1,272 career points.
*Ejim finished with 21 points. He has scored in double figures in each of his 13 games this season and in 17 consecutive games dating back to last season.
*Dustin Hogue scored in double figures for the 11th time this year with 13 points.
*Georges Niang had his 12th game of the season and 35th of his career scoring in double figures with 14 points.
*DeAndre Kane led Iowa State with 23 points, his fifth 20-point game of the season.
On Deck
The Cyclones will be on center-stage on "Big Monday" as ISU hosts No. 18 Kansas at 8 p.m. The game has been designated as "Gold Rules", and fans are encouraged to wear gold to the game.

ATA March tonnage shows positive momentum
April 27, 2011
Coming off of its first monthly decline in three months in February, truck tonnage returned to growth mode in March, according to data released by the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
The ATA's advance seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage index rose 1.7 percent in March after dipping a revised 2.7 percent in February. This index was up 3.8 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, in January and December.
The current SA index is 115.4 (2000=100) in March, following February's 117.1, which the ATA said was its highest level since January 2008. The SA index was up 6.3 percent compared to March 2010. This outpaced February's 4.4 percent hike but lagged behind January's 7.6 percent increase.
The ATA's not seasonally-adjusted (NSA) index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment, was 123.3 in March, which was up 20.7 percent from February's 102.6. On an annual basis, the SA was up 6.9 percent from March 2010's 116.4.
As LM has reported, some industry analysts maintain that the not seasonally-adjusted index is more useful, because it is comprised of what truckers haul. As defined by the ATA, the not seasonally-adjusted index is assembled by adding up all the monthly tonnage data reported by the survey respondents (ATA member carriers) for the latest two months. Then a monthly percent change is calculated and then applied to the index number for the first month.
"Despite my concern that higher energy costs are going to begin cutting into consumer spending, tonnage levels were pretty good in March and the first quarter of the year," said ATA Chief Economist and Vice President Bob Costello in a statement. "While I still think the industry will continue to grow and recover from the weak freight environment we've seen in recent years, the rapid spike in fuel prices will slow that growth."
And as long as U.S. manufacturing remains at a high level, Costello said that will be a positive for truck tonnage.
Today's numbers from the Department of Commerce portend a positive trend for the shipment of manufactured goods. Commerce reported that March new orders for manufactured goods rose 2.5% to $208.4 billion, and shipments increased 1.8% to $207.3 billion.
At last week's NASSTRAC Logistics Conference and Expo in Orlando, Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst Jon Langenfeld told an audience largely comprised of shippers and carriers that the bulk of the economic recovery which is occurring is being led by strong manufacturing activity.
"This is an industrial-led recovery," said Langenfeld. "We are still seeing high unemployment and capacity remains tight. But the manufacturing base is improving. There is a lot of freight moving on the industrial side in the near-term as it relates to demand.
Carriers have repeatedly told LM that the current market outlook is "slow but steady" and is likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
"Things are good but not great by any stretch," a shipper told LM at NASSTRAC. "That said, we are heading in the right direction but are concerned about what is happening with fuel and consumer spending."

What Was Wall Street Thinking Last Week?
There's never a shortage of silliness when it comes to Wall Street. Some of last week's biggest surprises and head-shaking blunders included a farcical mistake on the AP's list of same-store sales for September, Apple's failure to deliver the iPhone 5, Comcast's plan to charge $60 for a movie, and Best Buy's music streaming surrender.

|2013-14 school calendar proposed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Instructional hours are addressed in the first-draft proposed school calendar for Holyoke School District Re-1J for 2013-14. Details of the proposal were presented by Superintendent Bret Miles at the March 19 school board meeting.
The proposed calendar is 172 days, three fewer than the current year. However, Miles explained the total instructional hours will be up 19 hours at the JR/SR High and down only two hours at the elementary school with an adjustment to the start and ending times.
Currently, the elementary school day is from 8:25 a.m.-3:40 p.m. Proposed for 2013-14 is 8:20 a.m.-3:40 p.m. At the JR/SR High this year, classes run from 8:10 a.m.-3:35 p.m. Proposed for 2013-14 is a school day schedule from 8:05 a.m.-3:45 p.m.
The commitment to the Northeast Colorado Curriculum Collaborative drives many of the decisions for the calendar, Miles said. It impacts the start day, six inservice days throughout the year, the TCAP testing window for secondary and the spring break.
Adding the expectation of being out before Memorial Day means there's not a great deal of flexibility in other places in the calendar. Miles pointed out this is especially true with such an early Memorial Day in 2014.
However, he noted the benefits of the collaborative seem to outweigh any inconvenience as all districts struggle to implement new standards.
Friday morning late starts also restrict the calendar. However, staff feedback indicates this time is valuable, so Miles is recommending that late start Fridays continue in 2013-14.
The proposed calendar adds the full week spring break and two-week Christmas break discussed by the board last year. It also increases professional time with the new initiatives without significantly reducing total instructional time.
Miles told the board at last week's meeting that he is not recommending a reduction in teacher contract days, currently at 190. He said staff has said they value professional development time and prep time.
Due to the collaborative inservice days, they have already reduced two work days at the end of the first and third quarters. Inservice days before school starts have been reduced to six. Miles said six days is very minimal considering the number of initiatives they are implementing in addition to annual training.
Miles said they can certainly listen to suggestions, but he favors providing the days teachers need to feel comfortable with their work rather than focusing on a competitive salary in terms of a daily rate.
He emphasized that a daily rate calculation should include four years of bonuses totalling $4,500, which also makes the district more competitive.
The proposed calendar has students starting school Thursday, Aug. 15, with the last day for students being a half day Friday, May 23.
Miles said as the budget is developed, expanding the after-school services and the addition of a summer school will be top priorities.
Overall he believes this calendar seems to meet the goals in years past as well as the new goals with the collaborative.
The calendar will return to the April 9 board meeting for further review.
School finance re-write updated
Miles gave an update on SB 213, the school finance re-write. He noted the bill would dramatically change the factors in school finance, shifting money largely to students on free and reduced lunch and ELL students.
This bill is contingent upon a ballot initiative in November, approving over $930 million of new revenue for K-12 schools. It's up next on the Senate floor, Miles said last week.
The Colorado Rural Schools Caucus and Colorado Association of School Executives have taken an amend position on the bill, hoping to see changes that could win support.
Parent-teacher conferences well attended
Spring parent-teacher conferences at both Holyoke Elementary and Holyoke JR/SR High were well attended, according to building principals.
Elementary Principal Kyle Stumpf reported a 99.4 percent conference completion. Translators were available each night of conferences which made a big difference. He noted teachers take it as a personal challenge to get 100 percent turnout.
JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner said the turnout at spring conferences this year was the best it's been for quite some time in the spring. Data showed 77 percent turnout of JH parents and 73 percent of HS parents.
The JR/SR High had the largest turnout of Hispanic families for a spring conference and had 138 extra walk-in conferences.
Translators assisted with a number of conferences. Ortner said she appreciated the number of parents who took time to complete the parent survey.
Surveys were completed for both buildings and will now go to the Standards of Excellence team for review. A report to the board will be given next month.
Other business
In other business March 19, the Re-1J board:
—acknowledged a number of gifts to the district. Fontanelle Hybrids will set up a new revolving fund for Holyoke FFA to help students get started with a livestock project and pay back the fund upon the sale of the animal.
Other gifts included flooring and construction materials for the weightroom from Jeremy and Brooke Dirks and Erik and Michelle Vieselmeyer, a cash donation to the HS football team from Stephen Balog of Dillon, a television for the weightroom from Pat Healy of Brighton, Prom royalty gifts from Fine Things Jewelry in Imperial, Neb. and a baseball bat from Jeremy Thompson.
—approved first reading of three policies: support staff vacations and holidays, part-time and substitute professional staff salaries and inter-district choice/open enrollment. There were no changes from discussion on initial introduction of the policy changes.
—heard a winter sport summary from athletic director Sandra Rahe, who noted schedules for 2013-14 are about 70 percent complete.
—held a 55-minute executive session at the end of the meeting for an informal superintendent evaluation conference.

Fundamental Eigenfrequency of a Rotating Blade
Application ID: 9288
High rotational speed in rotating machineries can result in centrifugal forces of considerable magnitude. The forces induced by the rotation give rise to two counteracting effects: stress-stiffening and spin-softening (or centrifugal softening). The former is caused by the stationary stress field created by the centrifugal force and acts to increase the stiffness of the body, and so increase its resonance frequencies. At the same time, any radial displacement away from the axis of rotation increases the centrifugal force, while motion toward the axis decreases it. This application shows how the combined effect from stress-stiffening and spin-softening affects the fundamental eigenfrequencies of a blade attached to a rotating shaft. The eigenfrequencies obtained from the model are compared to analytical solutions.
The model also illustrates how to add the effect of Coriolis forces. Furthermore, a parametric study is performed to evaluate the effect of the angular velocity of rotation on the eigenfrequencies of the blade. The result is represented in the form of a Campbell diagram.

|Brown Swiss honors Bill and Velva Notter
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Bill and Velva Notter were named 2013 Historical Master Breeders by the Brown Swiss Historical Society at the recent National Brown Swiss Convention July 3-6 in Milwaukee, Wis.
It would be hard to find any couple in any era of Brown Swiss history that has given more of themselves to the breed for over 60 years. Locally and nationally they served the breed well. Velva was at the convention to accept the award. Bill died in 2011.
"I never thought we'd be voted in," said Velva, noting she and Bill received the most votes out of the 11 nominations. She is very honored to receive the award after being nominated by Marc and Janel Wailes of Double W Dairy in Holyoke.
"Farming is hard—dairy farming is worse!" said Velva, noting just how much there is to consider when running a dairy operation.
Velva Notter, pictured in front center, and her late husband Bill are named the 2013 Historical Master Breeders by the Brown Swiss Historical Society. Pictured from left are Rich Hill, chairman of the awards committee; Russ Giesy, chairman of the historical committee; Notter; Notter's daughter Jennifer Kumm and husband Marlin; and Roger Nietzel, head of the preservation committee.
She said after people retire, they wonder what others will remember about them and their work. "People do have a long memory ... People must have found something good in what you did," she said.
"Something like this gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling," she added with a chuckle.
The Historical Society was organized in 2006 and this is the fourth year for the award. The Notters are added to the breed's elite list of the most influential breeders and leaders of the industry's hallowed past.
The Notters were involved in the dairy business at their farm a couple miles east of Holyoke on Highway 6 from 1978-2000, but their dairy history goes back much farther than that.
While neither of the New Jersey natives lived on a family farm, they both got involved in the industry while still in school.
Young Bill started work at Lee's Hill Farm, New Vernon, N.J., when he was 13 years old in 1941, working with that world-renowned herd on vacations and weekends until he graduated in 1950 from New Jersey College of Agriculture in New Brunswick, N.J.
Even though they lived on opposite ends of the county, it was at college that he met Velva Meyer, who had taken the 4-H route to a dairy career. She said as a girl she was allowed to keep some cows on the farm where her dad worked. "I just liked the farming—much to my mother's dismay!" said Velva.
4-H helped Velva get into college, where she made a deal with the college to stay at the women's school but take classes with the men, since at that time women weren't allowed to study that degree. Velva's degree in dairy and animal husbandry in 1948 was the first awarded to a woman in that venue at the college.
Following college, Bill was herdsman at High Meadow Farm in Wallingford, Conn. Several years were spent there working to improve the herd.
To widen the scope of experience, Bill accepted the job of manager at the newly-set-up Hillwinds-Ladderlook Farm in Greenfield, Mass., helping its owner establish a top-notch Brown Swiss herd. The breeding was such that when the Notters started their own herd, they depended heavily on these genetics.
The dream of their own herd would not go away, and when the opportunity came in 1959 to rent a farm near Gladstone, N.J., they took the plunge, starting with 23 Brown Swiss and their son's 4-H calf.
Venture Farm animals appeared on the new Bell Ringer list and were members of the N.J. state herd to Waterloo in 1962.
In 1965, the herd was moved to Cobleskill, N.Y., when the Notters purchased a farm in the heart of Brown Swiss country. Here for the next 11 and a half years, the herd grew and developed. With the Eastern Breeders Sale in Cobleskill each year (the longest continuous dairy sale in the nation—77 years), the Notters became unofficial hosts for activities and visitors as well as working committee members.
Production was paramount. In 1975 they pictured their "Five-Cow Million-Pound Herd"—five living cows with a total production of 1,076,778 pounds of milk and 45,203 pounds of fat within a herd of 55 cows. And from that time on, there could always be one or more "herds" that could be assembled with lifetime credits over a million pounds of milk.
One quart is 2.15 pounds, so it means the farm has consistent production, said Velva. "We like strong cows."
In 1975 in New York, the Notters pictured their "Five-Cow Million-Pound Herd," which was five living cows with a total production of 1,076,778 pounds of milk and 45,203 pounds of fat.
Bill served as president of the New York Association and then as national director for the Brown Swiss Association from 1973-78. He later served as national president from 1980-83. He was most proud that during his term the National Youth Program was established.
Velva chaired the Cow Recognition Committee in 1975 that designed programs still in effect today.
Bill and Velva's kids "learned to be tough" while showing Brown Swiss, according to Velva. Velinda (Notter) Kirschner resides in Schoharie, N.Y., and Bill Notter III and Jennifer (Notter) Kumm are in Holyoke.
While in New York, Velinda was named Brown Swiss Girl of the Year in New York. Velva said son Bill Notter III also always had top cows.
In 1978, the Notters gave up the fight with the urban development around Cobleskill and New York state politics, moving the entire herd west to the high plains of Holyoke. "Every time you turned around, there was something different," said Velva. She noted part of their farmland in New York is now a Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot.
"Holyoke was a place we could bring the cows without having to build a barn," said Velva. "The cows loved it!" Environment changed many breeding decisions, but with generations of strong cows as a nucleus, the herd size increased to 350 head.
The farm was incorporated to include Bill III and wife Pat and Jennifer, who in 1984 was named the National Outstanding Brown Swiss Junior.
The Notters bred two bulls that were popular in the A.I. industry—Ventures ESP Babaray and Ventures Sunny Bruce.
Velva served on the state Dairy Herd Improvement board and became secretary/treasurer of the Rocky Mountain Brown Swiss Association in 1980. She continued to serve in that position for three decades and still serves as treasurer today.
Velva has served as an integral member of the Historical Society since its inception in 2006. The Brown Swiss breed came to America in 1869, she said, so the society is collecting history to compile a book about Brown Swiss' important past.
Velva is also the chairman of the publicity committee, which publishes four Brown Swiss Chronicle issues each year.
When Bill developed some health issues in 1997, Venture-West held a reduction sale. The rest were merchandised privately or in sales until 2001.
In 2000, they pictured their last "Five-Cow Million-Pound Herd" with totals of 1,076,960 pounds of milk , 41,382 pounds of fat and 36,411 pounds of protein.
After being involved in the dairy business from 1941-2000, it was hard for Bill to give up his love, so he would go over to Double W Dairy of Holyoke to "keep the boys straight!" said Velva. He especially loved to mentor young kids over the years.
Looking back on the decades of dairy farming, Velva gave much credit to her charismatic husband and her kids. "Without them, we couldn't have done it!" she said. "It was a good life for all of us."
Jennifer, her husband Marlin and daughter Morganne accompanied Velva on her trip to Wisconsin to accept the award.
One of the main traits of serious purebred breeders is their true love of working with their animals—making every generation just a little bit better than the last. No one loved their cows more or did it better than Bill and Velva Notter.

I see a number of threads over the years that have requested global tagging across accounts. But AFIK it has never been implemented.
I think this is a major missing feature. Anyone know if there is any chance of it happening?
Another feature which would be nice is being able to exclude accounts from a search. Or at least having a column that shows which account a message returned in a search belongs to that can be sorted or and/or filtered on. When you do a search, and it returns a bunch of messages, AFIK there is no easy way to even see which account the message belongs to without opening messages (in some cases the "To" address cannot tell you which account it was sent to).

You can follow the steps I had to go through on: My Blog.
the steps to get my original machine running CentOS 5(64) to Centos 6.4 was just too long. The physical upgrade took about an hour and a half.
I upgraded from Zimbra 7.1.3 to Zimbra 8.
Thank you to everybody who wrote in the forum regarding upgrading to Zimbra 8. Without them I would never have made it.
A BIG PS: I did not migrate from a backup, I migrated directly from the live system due to the fact that I ran out of Backup Space on the original server.

That's a neat Idea, I'm all about embellishing the maps and adding design elements to them
As I am new here I do not know if this type of challenge ever takes place.
But what if we had a "make weapons for people's maps" challenge.
Challenge:1) Design up to 4 weapons that could be used as visual elements in dungeon based maps such as: Swords, shields, axes, and helms.Because sometimes the best part of D&D is getting a new weapon.
2) Name them
3) Give them back stories
4) Explain their supernatural powers.
And wouldn't it be better to see what the Sword of Eternal Pain looks like instead of just knowing its name?
What do you think?
That's a neat Idea, I'm all about embellishing the maps and adding design elements to them
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Not what we would usually think of pertaining to maps but there are 2 places this could be used:
1 as map elements/set dressing to put in the corners of a map for decorative purposes
2 making elements for dungeon/structure scale to fill our dungeons with
I like the idea and it would be kinda cool to "take a lil time off" from actually drawing maps and do something different and fun. I've never actually drawn just armor but I have drawn people wearing it and fighting monsters in it. I also think that maybe you could include phasers for the sci-gi guys and maybe some Lugers for the alternate earth guys. Depending on which way it goes then I think a full set of icons would be good for number 2 and more artsy stuff would be good for number 1.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
But if it is desired, maybe start off with making elements for dungeons set in the medieval period (axes, sword, helms, etc) and then go from there.
I do like this idea, but mainly if they could be used for decorative purposes in maps. Still, elements for dungeon/structure maps would also be cool. I would like to see more user made stuff on this forum.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

I'm forever searching google for art to add in to things (and now maps, heh).
Having a central database of reliable images would be great.
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Always nice to have additional decorative touches or actual mapping elements to add to a map.

2) Stone floor with some visual tweaks and a few drops of blood to touch.

Here is an Outrageous Bisbee Turquoise Mens Ring, artisan crafted by John Hartman of Durango Silver Company. John is known worldwide for his outstanding Gold and Silver Jewelry, this is a Mens Ring that is totally off the charts! This is a heavy Men's Gold Ring with a 17.5 carat Bisbee Gemstone that Turquoise collectors would freak out over, it has over 13 gold nuggets going down the sides of the ring in the valleys of the flowing gold. You will never find another Bisbee Turquoise Mens Gold Ring like this, anywhere!
This outrageous Bisbee Turquoise Gem will make a person that appreciates Turquoise gasp, when they see the Gold Nuggets running down the sides of the Ring they will ask you to see the Ring - you better not let them hold it as they might take off running as it is that fantastic! As this Bisbee Ring ages, it will take on a patina and when this happens the Ring will double in value. John owns one of the top Bisbee Turquoise collections in the world and authentic natural Bisbee Turquoise of this quality is nearly nonexistent! Cheers to the lucky gentleman that ends up with this fabulous piece of art and history from the American Southwest.

A wave came in
Q&A | How an introvert like Tim Keller became a great preacher
NEW YORK-Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, has done for two decades what people said could not be done: He has attracted to church, through biblically orthodox teaching, thousands of hip New Yorkers in their 20s and 30s. He is also the author of three recent, excellent books: The Prodigal God, Counterfeit Gods, and The Reason for God, which was WORLD's Book of the Year in 2008.
Here are excerpts from an interview in which we examined his informal education during the 1970s and 1980s. We also touched on his cancer diagnosis in 2002 and his views of success and failure.
Q: We were both in college during those weird years of campus protests four decades ago. Were you ever involved in them? Had to be. After the Cambodian invasion, Bucknell was one of the many campuses at which the students went on strike. There was no school for weeks. We had huge meetings in the center of the campus with an open mic. Anybody could get up and just talk. It was really boring.
Q: You had something other than politics going on in your life. I had become a Christian earlier that year and had started going to a campus fellowship. At Christian colleges there was a revival in 1970. We put up a sign right off the quad where everybody else was milling around, saying "The resurrection of Jesus Christ is intellectually credible and existentially satisfying." We engaged people in conversations. About 10 or 15 students came to Campus Fellowship in the spring of 1970. That fall 100 people showed up, which just shocked us, and it never went down. A lot of people had become Christians that year through all the discussions and all the angst.
Q: Did groups on other campuses have the same experience of growth in 1970? Most had 5 to 10 to 20 times more students coming. It was a time of tremendous unrest, spiritually speaking. Mitch Glazer told me that almost all of the leaders of Jews for Jesus over the next 20 years were converted in various places in 1970.
Q: How did you become a Christian? I was depressed. I went to counselors. I was unhappy: I did not know who I was. Can you believe it? A college student? It pushed me into checking out Christian resources and I became a Christian. Of course that is a very, very short version of it.
Q: Expand a little bit. You were depressed because you did not know who you were? Yeah. I had very little confidence socially with people. It really was fairly garden variety. It was not very dramatic on the outside. On the inside, it was.
Q: You were introverted? Yes, badly.
Q: Did you find Christians you admired? I saw a small group of people. They seemed thoughtful. You have to have a group of people who embody the kind of Christian you would be if you became a Christian. You say, "These are people like me, or people I would like to be like," and, "I see how their Christianity plays a role in their life so I can start to envy that role and maybe I would like to have it too."
Q: Did you wonder whether you could be both a Christian and an intelligent, educated person? There were the intellectual credibility issues. I read lots and lots of British evangelicals: C.S. Lewis (even though he is not exactly an evangelical), John Stott, J.I. Packer. F.F. Bruce's The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? helped me survive religion courses. When Francis Schaeffer came along and started talking about really analyzing culture from a Christian point of view, that was an epiphany.
Q: And you had your personal concerns. The third thing you need besides a community and the intellectual resources is an existential crisis, usually, something that makes you feel the need for God. In that case, it was my painful introversion and my fear that nobody will ever accept me as I am if they ever get to know me.
Q: Why, when you graduated in 1972, did you plan to become a minister? The primary cause was because the Lord called me. The secondary cause was that I experienced some satisfaction in leading the Campus Fellowship. I was not the leader, but I was one of the leaders. I did some teaching and discipling, and for a guy who felt like he was never going to do anything, who had no confidence with people, I felt some fulfillment in doing it. It was saying, here is something I might succeed at. I never said it quite that crassly. But that is what I mean by the secondary cause. I do not think my motives were all incredibly noble, but God used it.
Q: How was seminary? Gordon-Conwell was a brand new school. There was an energy in the students and in the faculty.
Q: What was the best thing that happened to you there? I met my wife. . . . We got married the last year of seminary.
Q: Toward the end of your seminary time, you sought a call from a church. What was that process like? It is the only time in my life that I have actually been looking for a job-and I hated it. I had no particular denomination or church affiliation. My parents were good German Lutherans but I lost all connection to Lutheranism after I was about 14 or 15. I heard at Gordon-Conwell about the formation of a new denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America. I felt like if I got in on the ground floor of the new denomination there would not be a lot of hoops to jump through. The church I became the pastor of in Hopewell, Va., had left the Southern Presbyterian Church just months before.
Q: You are known now for giving excellent sermons. Did you give a tryout sermon in Hopewell? Yeah. I do not think I was any good. They were desperate. I am not kidding. Their pastor had left under a cloud and they were looking for somebody, anybody.
Q: You were somebody. I was anybody. I was not somebody.
Q: You were there nine years. Was it like being a young journalist at a small newspaper who benefits from having to write and write and write? Did you have to preach and preach and preach? Right. We had a Sunday morning sermon, Sunday evening sermon, Wednesday evening sermon. Three different expositions. Also, all the weddings, all the funerals, speaking at the nursing home, all the conferences, the youth retreat, the men's retreat, the women's retreat, everything. I preached 200 different sermons, expositions, each year.
Q: What did you learn about pastoral work? In a small town your pastoring sets up your preaching, whereas in a big town your preaching sets up your pastoring. In a big town, because they like the way you preach, they will then trust you to come and share their troubles with you. In a small town they can tell the difference between loud and soft preaching but that is about it. If they see you being wise and kind and loving, they will trust you to come and listen to your sermons. You had to spend time with them in the nursing home, in the prison, at the funeral home.
Q: You learned about pastoring. If you just go to towns like New York and spend all your time ministering, you never learn to pastor. You just learn how to do public communication. Ultimately, your preaching will be worse if you do not know how to pastor because you have not gotten involved in the hurts of people's lives. I learned a lot from Hopewell and if I had not gone there, I would not know a lot of that. It makes me a much better preacher today, way, way better than if I had never been there.
Q: Let me ask about a harder lesson: How did the diagnosis of thyroid cancer that you received in 2002 affect your thinking? I was told by absolutely everybody, "Thyroid cancer is very treatable, your prognosis is really good." In spite of that fact, you go to prayer in a new and intense way. The chasm is between not having cancer and having it. Anybody who has been diagnosed with cancer, with malignant cancer that could kill you if something does not happen, feels a oneness with everybody else right away. I have had pastoral situations where people say, "Since you have had this, I trust you."
Q: How do you deal as a pastor with people who get death sentences? You wait for them to speak and then you answer the questions they are asking. I have to listen to see where they are struggling, and listen to them several times before I try to give an answer. I take stock of what medicines they need from the biblical cabinet and then see whether or not they respond well. If the discouragement doesn't respond to a particular medicine I will try another one. It is really being very reactive and careful.
Q: Now that you've had two decades at Redeemer, what do you see as your biggest failure? The one I got away with was overworking for about 10 years-actually, I have always overworked-and my children not hating me for it. There was a period there when I easily could have lost their love and respect, but they do not look back on it and remember it that way, which is God's blessing. Looking back on it, I say, "Why in the world did you not hate me for it?" They say, "We do not really know." They probably should have. You chalk that up to God's grace.
Q: What do you see as your greatest success? My marriage is my greatest success because we are really, really happily married after a long time. . . . And most of the other people I know, my age, do not have all of their children professing faith in Christ. I do, and I know people who are much better fathers who do not. That humbles me.
Q: And what about Redeemer? Redeemer is the other great success. . . . We paddled out on our board and a wave came in. You can do all the same paddling and standing and then if the wave does not come in there is no surfing. We could have easily come here, done everything that we have done, and have very, very little to show for it. I know other people who have been every bit as faithful, if not more faithful than me, and do not have anything like the same kind of amount of success. I do not look at myself as being more effective than them, but I am more successful and therefore more blessed, for only reasons that God in His sovereignty would know.

Fighting inferiority and superiority complexes
By Marvin Olasky
Q: How did you overcome your "painful introversion"? Are you saying, how did an introvert get to be a megachurch pastor in Manhattan? Very gradually. It is a combination: God called me to be a minister and then decided to prosper my ministry more than a lot of other people's, which was always a surprise. I do not know why. It is not false modesty. I am still not sure why.
Q: Gift and grace? The gift side of it is that God continues to send me people who seem to be helped by the ministry. That overcomes some of your lack of confidence, but the danger of relying on your gifts, saying, "Hey, I am a pretty good preacher, people will come back to listen to me," is that that leads to the opposite of an inferiority complex, a superiority complex, which is probably more deadly. They are both self-absorption.
Q: How do you fight that? As I moved from feeling like nobody likes me to everybody likes me-then you get really famous and nobody likes you again-I had to work on the gospel a lot in my heart. Every time I started to get too big a head, something would come along and God would bring me down. This is the way I think everybody grows. Something would bring me down and I would have to use the gospel to shore up my confidence on the basis of His grace rather than on my gifts.

After trying a number of operating systems compatible with the latest release, none of which worked for one reason or another, I settled on FC7, which only needed:
1) "yum install fetchmail"
2) comment out the line in /etc/sudoers with "Default securetty"
3) use domain.com, not host.domain.com in order to pull the MX record
I run a split e-mail, split-dns network at home, with two commercial firewalls, and a DMZ where my external smtp and dns servers lie. The external smtp is a forwarder to the internal smtp server. The external dns server serves the outside world, while the internal servers the internal network.
Anyway, if you any of you do this also, note that you can still use whatever internal IP and dns scheme you desire. Because your internal users point at the internal DNS server, you can create a cname record (an alias), so both the external and internal DNS servers return the same host.domain.com name.
What this means is that you can tell all of your users, both those working from home or on the road, or those who only work in the office, the same exact domain name and it'll work fine.
I must say I really like Zimbra. My work uses this, while I was using Thunderbird and imap to get my personal e-mail. Already I can tell you the junk mail (amavist) is better in Zimbra than in Thunderbird, and I've been a loyal user of the latter for five years.
The downside is that my little hand-built AMD 2GHz server is thrashing itself. The java is killing it. So, one day I'm gonna have to do something about this. Fortunately, it's just me and a couple of other users so it's no big deal right now. I went ahead and turned off every service that I could find, and that helped a bit.
Overall I'm very, very impressed at the amount of work that went into this and the quality of the end result. I can administer multiple domains with surprising ease, the skins seem decent, and I'm still exploring and testing out the feature set, which is quite rich.
Beers all around!
