I suppose it wouldn't lead to a legally saleable product but I would be fascinated to find out what a developed UCE motor would produce with a good quality flat slide carburetor bolted on and all the EFI gubbins stripped off.
Where did we get the idea that the bike is not in closed loop operation at higher speeds?
Any progress or are you still waiting for the shop to find some time?Scott
According to at least one fellow at Hitchcocks I spoke to on the phone with last night, they're working to make a new Power Commander which can override the rev limiter AND access and adjust the timing. Apparently it's in testing, and it is more than just a software update (IE, will be a new box). It was mentioned that the UCE timing has much room for improvement, and that the current crankshaft would probably be quite fine with another 1000 RPM. This seems right to me, although I'd love to hear your opinions on this. I found that interesting. Have you heard anything of this? It seems that one of the bigger hurdles to the ACE UCE project might soon be a thing of the past.
If this is the case, Wayne has been damn quiet about it in all of our discussions.I hope they do the right thing and offer a swap to those of us that bought the current power commander paperweight

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville Sheriff's Officer has resigned after being arrested for allegedly soliciting prostitution.
David Sumlin, 49, an eight-year employee, was arrested on Tuesday prior to his shift by the Integrity Unit, Undersheriff Dwain Senterfitt said at a Tuesday night news conference.
Sumlin has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting for prostitution. He is out of jail on bail.
Wednesday morning Melissa Bujeda, Public Information Officer for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, said Sumlin turned in a resignation letter to the sheriff's office.
Senterfitt said Sumlin was on duty when the incidents happened.
"We don't tolerate this type of behavior here. We hear about something like this, we investigate and take action. We don't wait for someone else to come in and do it," Senterfitt said.
According to a JSO police report, the Integrity Unit learned in September that Sumlin was "'tricking' (paying for sex) with a known prostitute."
The prostitute, identified in the report as a "confidential source," said Sumlin has asked her in the past how much she would charge for oral sex.
She said she asked him to check if she had any outstanding warrants. He told her she was, at which point he said to her, "I have to get out and grab your butt for that," according to the report.
Sumlin did not arrest her on the warrant. On Oct. 31, the prostitute agreed to assist with the investigation.
On Nov. 1, Sumlin was directed to Stockton Street and Edison Avenue to investigate a prostitution complaint. She had encountered Sumlin in this area previously, according to the report.
During the recorded conversation with the prostitute, Sumlin told her to "take her butt down to King Street and walk," according to the report.
She asked him when they would "get down," and he replied "soon girl."
On Nov. 19, the prostitute was directed to walk by Sumlin's vehicle, which was parked in a dark lot near Stockton Street and King Street, according to the report.
Sumlin then drove up to her and talked to her. He said he had to respond to a call but told her, "I'm gon come back and talk to you."
He then told her what sex acts he wanted to do and the prostitute initially told him $50, and Sumlin haggled with her until she took her price down to $35, and then $20.
Senterfitt said officers are held to a higher standard, whether they are on or off duty.
"I've been the undersheriff for about a year and a half, and we have terminated 5 or 6 employees since then. We're not going to put up with it, on duty, off duty, we don't really care. Police officers are held to a higher standard," Senterfitt said.
Sumlin has been reassigned and stripped of police power. The criminal investigation against Sumlin will need to conclude before JSO can proceed with its administrative investigation, Senterfitt said.

Rafael Nadal made his way into the US Open fourth round after defeating compatriot Nicolas Almagro 7-5, 6-4, 6-4. But the bigger news was the re-aggravation of the stomach muscle injury he showed up with in Cincinnati. He and Nico both received treatment during the third set but The Matador was quick to dismiss any talk of injury in his post-match presser:
Q. What did the doctor say about your injury? Are you worried for the next matches?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I don't want to talk about injuries. Sorry. No, no, I am a little bit tired to talk about injuries. I am here to try my best every day.
I won the match in three sets, so happy for that. I'm going to try my best next round. That's all.
Q. You said you didn't want to talk about injuries. Was that your knee or the abdominal situation?
RAFAEL NADAL: I said I don't want to talk about injuries (laughter).
Q. Can you at least talk about how you felt after you got the treatment for the rest of the match?
RAFAEL NADAL: I won 6 4, so you can see I didn't serve very fast. But I think I played better from the baseline than before.
Q. We are used to see you much more cheerful, especially after a win. Today you answer as if you're not happy.
RAFAEL NADAL: No, but I know I came here and I know everybody want to talk about the injury. I really don't want to talk about that. That's the thing.
The stomach muscle issue seemed to hinder him a bit on his serve so it'll be interesting to see how this situation develops. The injury will most likely be tested when Rafa faces the Gael Monfils in a match sure to be athletic and acrobatic.
Kim Clijsters put a stamp on her return to the WTA tour when she ousted third seed Venus Williams 6-0, 0-6, 6-4 in a strange but emotional fourth round match. In 2005, the Belgian defeated the 2-time champ on her way to her first, and only, Grand Slam title so could it happen again? Like duh, of course! She's facing Na Li and holds a 3-1 lead in their H2H with a potential blockbuster Serena Williams semifinal lurking ahead.
On a side note, V's loss means ReRe is the only Top 5 seed left in the draw as well as being only 1 of 4 Top 10 seeds still alive after four rounds. Stunning.
Watch out for Flavia Pennetta who saved 6 match points in her 3-6, 7-6(6), 6-0 upset of seventh seed Vera Zvonareva. See what a little confidence can do for your game? And Flavia will need every bit of that confidence intact when she faces defending champ ReRe, who crushed a helpless Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 6-0, in the quarterfinals.

Kellan Lutz Splits With Girlfriend Sharni Vinson (UPDATE: They're Dating Again!)
UPDATE: Sometimes couples just need a break!
According to an August 16 Us Weekly story, Kellan and Sharni are dating again. They broke up back in May, but a source told Us they are seeing each other again. "They are trying to be fairly quiet about it, but they're not staying in a bunker or anything. Just a little more discrete." You mean like normal people? Good for them! The source added that it's been a bit tough with him away filming Hercules 3D, but they spend a lot of time together when they're both in L.A.
It's kind of like Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult reconnecting on the X-Men set after their brief breakup. That's one of the downsides of actors dating each other — they're always traveling for roles, and it's hard to find time together. Good luck to Kellan and Sharni!
Original story:
Kellan Lutz and Sharni Vinson met during a chemistry reading for Step Up 3D. She got a part. He didn't. They started dating in late 2011, and Us Weekly says they broke up in early May 2013.
The 29-year-old Australian actress was previously linked to CSI: NY star A.J. Buckley; the 28-year-old Twilight and Hercules 3D star previously dated 90210's AnnaLynne McCord. Check them out on the beach, in happier times. Sigh.
It's always sad when a couple breaks up, but at least this means Kellan and his impressive bod are back on the market. Yay?

Fixed income is still the biggest trade in the market, bigger than equities, and US Treasury bonds remain the safest, most liquid government security. Other countries are safer, they are just not as liquid. And many other countries are a whole lot riskier. In fact, on balance, Eurozone debt is becoming riskier than fixed income investments held in Latin America and Chinese government bonds. Here's a look at five year credit default swap spreads (CDS) on key sovereign issuers around the world. CDS are a key gauge on debt default risk in the bond markets.

Can anyone tell me how u get it so someone can leave a comment i have a blog and i would like to have that.ReplyDelete
Complaining to FSN last year didn't do squat. I doubt it'll do any good this time around either. Guess I'll have to stick to the old reliable live streams on-line.ReplyDelete
Why is that man wearing his boxers on court? And why does that make me want to cry?ReplyDelete
NOOOOOOO!!!! FSN makes my head explode.ReplyDelete
Santiago looks a heck of a lot like Marcos Baghdatis. Does that explain MB's disappearance for so much of last year? Is he living a double life as a boxer-short-wearing tennis player from Mexico? Not sure what the upside is to that, but I say "to each his own!"
Yeah, FSN's pretty bad.ReplyDelete
Are we sure Rich didn't photoshop those shorts on for laughs? I can't believe my eyes!
I totally thought it was Baghdatis too! XDReplyDelete
OMG - he really could be Baghy! I didn't even notice. I must've been distracted by the horrible outfit.ReplyDelete
Why didn't someone lend him some shorts? Meanies.
anon 7:35 - I'm not sure what platform you're using but I would check your settings and make sure you're allowing readers to comment.ReplyDelete
I'm sure there's an option there to turn it on, off, moderate, etc.

Well, i think his outfit is acceptable. The outfit that the guy (i'm sorry i can't remember his name), who played Simon this morning in Dubai, was just awful. The olive green shorts + the yellow t-shirt? No, no, no...Adidas' miss-hits are just amazing.ReplyDelete
don't knock the shorts; at least we can see some thighReplyDelete
If there were no live streaming online, what would we do?ReplyDelete
I'm insulted that you guys insulted my Baghdaddy! lol Ok, I can see it from the chin up, but he'd never ever ever ever wear his boxers on court.
He beat Gulbis tonight. Congrats to him, by the way.
is it only me who thinks it'd be so much fun if male tennis players wore those 80s tennis shorty shorts?ReplyDelete
Think about Rafa wearing shorty shorts..LOL.it'd be the hottest thing out there.

OMG I totally that it was Baghdatis too!!! LOLReplyDelete
For the most part I think tv's "broadcasts" (if you can call them that) SU-UCCCKKKK. They're all terrible. Even during Slams. Too many talking heads. Show us the friggin' matches and stop talking talking talking about nothing nothing NOTHING. Ugh. Sorry, had to vent!! So yeah, if live streaming evades me I will def be pulling my hair out :(

FSN *rolling eyes*ReplyDelete
there's always a stream online so i don't think these two tourney are going to be an exception.
"Santiago looks a heck of a lot like Marcos Baghdatis."ReplyDelete
I totally thought that, too!!
And tell me about TV coverage... If it wasn't for the internet, I wouldn't be able to see any tennis besides the slams. >:(
The worst commentating ever was on the Delray beach match between fish and Dancevic last night. I swear Gullickson and the other dude were drunk, the other dude kept hacking up lung oysters, and couldn't even pronounce Djokovic.ReplyDelete
Tasteless and Tacky!
all: no doubt the internet is the best place to watch tennis these days. shocker.ReplyDelete
neil in toronto: which channel were you watching delray on?
Hey Rich, someone posted a link on tennisworld.com. Originally i think it was either from Justin.tv, or channelsurfing.net :)ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say i really enjoy the site, i've lurked for a while.

Hi Folks,
I am running zcs (ose) 8. What are good way to backup? What needs to be copied? Obviously the MySQL database, but I suspect there is more.
I need to consider two options:
- bare metal backup, which is easily done with a disk image copier like dd
- data backup for restore of data to prepared and running CentrOS server.
Advice and caution welcomed.
Thanks for your help,

Psy's "Gangnam Style" is an inescapable monster! Unless you've been living under a rock the past few months (which would be impressive…and dangerous), you've probably seen the video on YouTube, heard the song at a sporting event, or wondered why everyone around you was riding invisible horses. Psy has been everywhere, from teaching Britney Spears to dance on the Ellen DeGeneres show to dancing with MC Hammer at the American Music Awards.
Despite the complete oversaturation of this song, I'm inclined to say that it still kind of rules. Granted, my exposure has definitely been in moderation, but I have listened to this song numerous times and have yet to grow tired of it. My 3 year old daughter and I can frequently be found having Gangnam Style dance parties at our house. It was the highlight of a few recent birthday parties that we've attended and I overheard a group of tweens at a Halloween carnival giggle in amazement while saying, "that's so cool they played Gangnam!"
Where's the Breaking Point?
When will the world finally say "uhmm, yeah, that's enough"? I don't know, but it's still going full steam. Gagnam Style has become the most watched video on YouTube, knocking Justin Bieber out of the top spot. The Guinness Book of World Records recently recognized it as the most liked video in YouTube history. Check out the Gangnam Style Wikipedia page for way more info than you ever thought you needed to know. Way more.
A Billion Views?
That's a lot isn't it? Indeed. At its current rate, it will hit one billion views easily. I first posted about it here, when it was only at 80 million views, which seemed incredible at the time.
PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1
Can't get enough? You can borrow Psy's most recent album, which features Gangnam Style, from the library. Of course, you can also watch the video on YouTube. Maybe you'll be the billionth view! Maybe they'll give out a prize for that sort of thing. Maybe shower you with virtual confetti and give you a voucher for a free toaster. Something like that.

Is there any setting available to prevent creation of a calendar entry (or even better accepting an appointment invitation) when particular time slot is already busy?
Background of this request: Our office assistant maintains calendars for meeting/conference rooms. This means that she receives invitations when someone creates a new appointment and requests one of conference rooms. She would like to be prevented from accepting such an invitation and creating a new calendar appointment if the time slot is already reserved (i.e. it is "busy"). Is it doable?
This is Zimbra 5.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) -- A woman faces multiple charges after allegedly assaulting a man and woman and then kicking an officer and spitting at another during the arrest and booking process.
According to Prince William County Police, at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, officers went to investigate the report of an assault in the 7300 block of Wichita Ct in Manassas, Va.
Thirty-year-old Stacey Lyn Harmer of Manassas was arrested for assaulting a 61-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man of Woodbridge after an argument. They received minor injuries, say police.
Police officials say while being escorted to the police cruiser, Harmon attempted to kick an officer, grazing her leg. Then, at the Adult Detention Center, Harmer is accused of spitting at another officer who was there on an unrelated matter.
Harmer is now charged with two counts of assault & battery on a law enforcement officer and two counts of assault & battery. She is being held without bond.

ATLANTA -- Georgians hope for lucky picks as the Powerball jackpot for the Saturday, November 24, drawing is estimated at $325 million.
RELATED | Lottery Numbers and results
At $325 million, Saturday's jackpot is the fourth largest in the multi-state game's history. The largest Powerball prize ever awarded was a $365 million win in 2006.
The nation's largest ever lottery prize was a $656 million Mega Millions prize drawn in March, 2012.
The game is played in 42 states, plus the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands.
Starting Sunday, you won't have to go to the store to buy your tickets. Customers will be able to buy Powerball, Mega Million and Fantasy Five tickets online. The Georgia Lottery is joining a handful of other states in venturing into online sales.
It won't be a free-for-all. Computer IP addresses will be monitored to make sure participants are buying from Georgia. Identities will be verified through bank accounts and social security numbers, and game play will be limited.

|MMH reaches out to community
|Written by Chris Lee
A community linkage committee has been busy meeting with members of the public to find out what exactly people would like to see from the hospital. They had another good meeting with members of the Hispanic community as well as other community officials, reported Sheryl Farnsworth at the Jan. 26 East Phillips County Hospital District board meeting.
Farnsworth said there was a great turnout and people are stepping up to see things move forward.
The idea of holding a Hispanic health fair generated a lot of interest, according to Farnsworth. Dates are still being looked at but will probably be held sometime in May.
The meeting was also attended by school administrators. The committee is excited to see interest from all areas of town.
Farnsworth said they are eager to actually get something off the ground to show the town they are trying to reach out to the community.
Board member Ray Malleck announced he will turn in his resignation as he will be moving out of the area. Board members must live in or own land within the district. The February board meeting will likely be Malleck's last. Board members addressed the issue and discussed ways to fill the seat once vacant.
Board members will advertise for the two-year appointment to see who is interested. Steve Deaver said advertising would be a better way to go about things because they will find those who are interested and not those who board members think are interested. Malleck was elected in 2008 and his term will end in 2012.
Three of the five board member terms will end this year. Farnsworth, Deaver and Steve Young's seats will all be up for election May 4.
CFO Greg Was presented the board with his financial condition and activities reports. He reported compliance in all areas. He said there was a small loss in operations for the month of December due to rising costs. Administrator John Ayoub said they had budgeted for a larger loss. "We blew our budget out of the water," he added responding to the 2009 budget.
Was reported 2009 saw a big improvement from 2008. He said there were 1,726 patient days in 2009 compared to 1,384 in 2008. Clinic visits rose by 626 from the previous year. "Activity wise, we are doing very well," Was said.
On the balance sheet side of things, Was said things are looking really good. "We finished the year in very good shape," he said. "The balance sheet is excellent."
Deaver said changes in medical staff bylaws are ready for a lawyer's review. Bylaws are looked at every other year by members of the medical staff. The board will approve the changes after everything has been looked at.
Administrator reports activity
Ayoub reported issues with First Party Receivables are believed to be resolved. "I'm pretty confident we're moving in the right direction," Ayoub said. MMH sent out the January statements after they were hand checked by staff to alleviate any further issues.
It was reported in December patients were having issues with billing. The issue came during the transition between MMH and First Party Receivables.
A hand washing campaign was started within the hospital and all employees are wearing buttons to help promote the campaign.
The number of January H1N1 cases has been relatively lower than expected. Ayoub said they are always ready for another outbreak like the one towards the end of 2009. There are also plenty of vaccinations available, according to Ayoub.
Ayoub stated the sale of the modular building was finalized with Prairie Winds Art Center. With the first payment received last year, payments will be received in $7,000 installments over the next four years for a total of $35,000.
Ayoub and Terry Barth went to the High Plains Rural Health Network to discern the strategic direction of the organization with regards to the state's fiber network. MMH is scheduled for an April 1 completion date. Ayoub said things are running about a month behind.
A letter from the Colorado Colorectal Screening Program was passed around to board members. A survey was conducted and only one error was found. According to Ayoub, the results were outstanding.
MMH has been in contact with Computers Etc. about purchasing office supplies. The hospital awards bids to local businesses when they come within 10 percent of other lower bids. A bid was awarded to Computers Etc. for the supplies.
Ayoub met with a city council member about a siren the council is looking to add on the south part of town. Ayoub said he is in favor of having one installed closer to the hospital to alleviate the issue of not being able to hear the sirens from within the hospital.
A mobile X-Ray unit was purchased in December to save some money since it was at a reduced price. The unit it replaced has already been sold, according to Ayoub.
Another piece of equipment purchased by the hospital was a sit to stand lift. The device has been appreciated by staff, according to Ayoub. He mentioned the lift is better for both the patient and staff members as it relieves stress on the back.
The third of a four-part prenatal care class was held and again, was very well attended, according to Ayoub. He mentioned Dr. Danielle McClellan is doing a great job with those classes.
Judy Sudmeier held a presentation for Delta Kappa Gamma on women's heart health. Ayuob said the evaluations were "off the chart" and is pleased with the response.
Credentialing was approved for Douglas Carter, William Ketcham, Marshall Mallory, David Reed, Brian Twedt, John Wright, Scott Hayden, Mary Loury, Thomas Neveldine, Wendy Stiles, James Wolach and Brenda Hinze.
Young presented the MMHF report and said Paul Wickencamp was named president, Gary Krumm vice-president, Brenda Adams secretary and Nancy Colglazier treasurer of the foundation.
Once the weather becomes a little nicer, work will begin on the installation of the new clock tower in the southwest corner of the parking lot.
Board members entered into a 30-minute executive session for personnel purposes for the administrator's annual evaluation.
The next board meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 5:30 p.m.
Other business
In other business Jan. 26, the hospital board:
—approved the Executive Compensation Committee's recommendation for the administrator's incentive compensation plan for 2010 and for a five percent raise.

Best of Fall Television
Summer vacation's over. The kids are back in school and need you to drive 'em around to their various and sundry activities which wind up sucking up a ton of your family's free weekend time. So what about you? Don't you get to start off fresh and with a chance to get excited about something new, even if you're not the one who's getting a new lunchbox, magic markers which smell like fruit (and haven't yet run dry) and back-to-school clothes?
What you can treat yourself to? How about a fresh slate of fall TV shows to amuse you and take your mind off the fact that you have to have bring your 10-year-old to a hockey game by 5:30 a.m. and that you forgot Open House night?
Here are a few of the new/returning fall TV shows for which I'm going to program my DVR to record, because parents deserve something new to watch after all the afterschool activities are done for the day.
(Includes recaps of previous seasons, so if you're not all caught up, this could have some spoilers)
The Good Wife - CBS, 9 p.m., Premieres Sept. 25.
When we last left the much put-upon Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), she'd just kicked her husband Peter (Chris Noth) out of the family's apartment after he'd staged his political comeback and won his old job as the state's attorney, in spite of a prior sex scandal and his stint in prison for public corruption. Alicia, who had been considering buying a house in the 'burbs again and rebuilding her life with the father of her two kids, had everything explode in her face again when she learned that during his pre-jail days, Peter slept with a woman with whom Alicia now works closely.
Liberated from the burden of Peter's scandal, which weighed heavily upon her, she finally spent the night with her old college flame Will Gardner (Josh Charles), also part owner of the law firm where she works. The Good Wife finally got her chance to enjoy her freedom so now what will the third season bring? We'll see, particularly when former House star Lisa Edelstein starts her gig as Will's former gal pal.
Desperate Housewives - ABC, 9 p.m., Sept. 25
This show hasn't been its sterling season one/season two version of itself for some time, when it offered sharply incisive commentary on life in the American suburbs. In its eighth, final season, we'll see the ladies of Wisteria Lane focusing on trying to hide the fact that Carlos killed Gaby's abusive stepfather and harkening back to Mary Alice's suicide which opened the show in its very first episode.
Homeland - Showtime, 10 p.m., Oct. 2
This new drama has a very intriguing premise: A CIA agent (Claire Danes) suspects that a Marine sergeant who'd been held as a Prisoner of War in Iraq for eight years, has become an enemy agent.

|Post Prom dedication appreciated
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dear Editor,
Youth that live in communities that support Post Prom Parties are very fortunate. Our community is one that values this tradition and has for many years. It is very clear that Holyoke believes in this activity by the support given throughout the planning process and the actual evening Post Prom takes place.
Beta Sigma Phi stepped up several years ago to take the leadership it takes in running a successful Post Prom Party. These women have done a marvelous job, and have been very open to new ideas.
Beta Sigma Phi listened to several junior students about the idea of changing the location to the high school and they were also willing to try new activities that were suggested. With the help of many, this evening was one of great success and one that is still being talked about by those attending.
Post Prom requires many dedicated volunteers and businesses to continue supporting it year after year. The support given is not gone unnoticed by the youth or their parents. As a parent of a junior, we have heard nothing but praise for this evening and we wish to acknowledge each business and adult who made the evening possible. Knowing your child is safe on prom night and having a memorable evening is a tremendous and comforting feeling.
A simple thank you is not enough for the businesses who are so generous with their donations, the many volunteers for the work they do prior to Post Prom and for those who give up a night of sleep with family back at home, and the Lion's Club who cooks breakfast year after year. Thanks to the Holyoke School District who allowed the kids to have their wish fulfilled, and thank you kids for respecting these premises and all volunteers.
And to the Beta Sigma Phi women and their families … we are all blessed that you put your whole heart into this night!
The Post Prom Party is just one example of how Holyoke supports the children of Holyoke. The support and belief in kids is evident on any given day. Thank you Holyoke!
Harvey and Nancy Colglazier

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Last week I took a quick trip to Berlin and Dresden, and am readjusting to the time change this morning. On my way to Berlin I had a short stay in New York at Mondrian Soho, which is situated in one of my favorite downtown neighborhoods.
I arrived in time for a fun dinner and drinks at their beautiful downstairs greenhouse restaurant, Imperial No. Nine. If you read my last post, then you got a glimpse of the studio of Oded Halahmy that I visited the next morning after I met up with Markus Linnenbrink, another artist whose work inspires me--it was great to catch up as we share a common friend who passed away earlier this year. Then it was on to Berlin for a quick overview of the city and a fabulous dinner overlooking the city lights at Restaurant 44. Chef Danijel Kresovic, known for his innovative work with herbs came out to explain his dishes and it was fun to taste the new Restaurant 44 wines which will be debuting soon.
My time in Berlin went by like the blink of an eye. I stayed at the luxe and modern Swissôtel Berlin just off the Kurfuerstendamm in the heart of Berlin--for a coffee addict like me, having my own Nespresso machine in the room was a dangerous thing! While I was there I met up with Edward Gordon, who I've written about since he first began his daily painting series. It's hard to believe he's nearing his 2,000th daily painting and he was busy prepping for a show of larger paintings opening this Thursday (it's already pre-selling and the show hasn't yet opened). Thanks to Edward, who lent me his driver, I navigated my way over to the Gerhard Richter show, a retrospective that exceeded my expectations. There was also an extensive mid-century painting and sculpture exhibit happening downstairs and I was fascinated by the way in which the familiar material was curated with a European/German perspective. I had to run through much too quickly and could've spent hours there.
I spent the last part of my trip a few hours outside of Berlin at the new Hotel Swissôtel Dresden Am Schloss, which just opened in the centre of the historical old town in April. I loved the modern Swiss elements integrated into the decor of both the rooms and the luxe spa--a chic simplicity a world away from both East and West Coast American decor. One of my favorite architectural delights in any structure is the merging of contemporary with the the historical--in this case, the element of the bombed sandstone (which turns red in places) was left intact in the underground spa, giving the hotel a deeper integrity and context. A cool aside is that the Dresden magazine featuring Edward's painting on the cover was coincidentally in every room of the hotel!
p.s. You may have noticed that On PCH is back, and although my computer time was limited, I was able to get a post in from Berlin and Dresden. There's another new post today, so please swing by for a dose of pretty painterly color. As much as I can't wait to go back, I'm also happy to be home. I've missed you!

iHerb Customer Reviews
I've been using creams, oils and lotions since surviving a fire at the age of 17. Needless to say, my skin has been quite dry ever since. I've tried hundreds of products and become an expert on skin moisturizers. Mink oil works great. But it's expensive. Burt's Bee's carrot nutritive skin lotion is very good. And the price is right. But this stuff is a luxury. As good as soaking in a Japanese onsen. It does have a major drawback. It's hard, and you'll have to go through your kitchen utensil drawer to find a tool to chip away at it, then dump the chips into a small microwavable glass, then heat it up, then let it cool. But if you use it right after stepping out of the shower and right before going to bed at night, the next morning the elaborate cocoa butter ceremony you had to go through to get it on your body will have all been worth it. Your skin will feel like it's 17 again. If I could make a suggestion to Now: Use a more elegant container and stick a wick in this hard-as-wax cocoa butter. Market the stuff as an aroma-therapy-like candle that melts into a rich body oil.
I loooooove this cocoa butter. It smells heavenly and absorbs in my skin well. It is hard, so I use a plastic spoon to scrape at it, which makes easily meltable shavings. More work than lotion, but less unneeded chemicals as this is all natural. My best friend visited and loved it--she used it with great results on her skin, which is prone to blemishes. I use it on my big ole pregnant belly! My husband is very satisfied with the results--no stretch marks, big shiny belly, plus I smell like a giant cookie for a couple of minutes after (yummy smell does dissipate after a few minutes).

As a skin moisturizer, it softens your skin beautifully and smells delicious and sensual. And it is food-grade, so it's perfect to make a sugar-free 100% cacao bar or chocolates for people with food intolerances. LOOOOOOVE IT!

Marinated Raw PlantainsThursday, April 11th, 2013
My sister, Stacie, is here from Florida to help me with my April Raw Food Certification class that starts Friday. Its 5 days of non-stop set up for the class but she is finally over at the retreat house prepping food with 4 other amazing raw food helpers today. Its always an incredible experience meeting the people who come to the class. I think the furthest person coming to this one is Seoyull from Korea! Its always a life shifting experience for them and for me. I'm ready to be in the bubble of bliss that is created from each class! Ill be tweeting pictures throughout the weekend so make sure you follow me on twitter!
Stacie made these incredible plantains yesterday for us that are so easy to make and really unique. Just make sure you use really ripe plantains or they won't taste good at all:
A couple of VERY RIPE plantains
Melted coconut oil
Pinch of sea salt
Slice the plantains into bit size pieces like you would a banana.Pour some melted coconut oil over the plantains. Use enough melted coconut oil to coat the plantains. Mix them around in the coconut oil and then sprinkle a large amount of cinnamon, curry and sea salt on them to coat them really well. They should look brownish-orange from the spices. Let sit and marinate for at least an hour. Enjoy!

sdebrot, first off awesome bull! Thank you for all the info as well! In the resent talks with my hunt group I think 57/58 is where we are going to apply. It may not be the best area as far as success for our points but looks to be good terrain for us to get broke in on. We have not pinned down a season yet. Draw success looks to be about the same between first and third season with third having a little better success rate. Does anyone have any advise between the two? I'm thinking of bringing my UTV for aid in game retrieval if possible but mostly for hunting areas a little further from camp. Would the UTV be an advantage over a truck for travel? Just ordered my BLM maps as well so if anyone is willing to share any areas that hold Elk with a couple first timers we would sure appreciate it!!
Ok thanks for the info. I think we may leave the UTV at home then. We do each have a frame pack. Best start getting in shape so we don't fall over trying to use then! Haha
I am a nonresident, we currently have three points. Rifle tags should be very obtainable for us, we are also considering trying for muzzleloader season. The draw is a little tougher for us for muzzleloader but it looks like odds would still be in our favor. For a group of first time Elk hunters do you think there is an advantage either way, muzzleloader or first season rifle? I really like the idea of hunting during the rut which muzzleloading im sure will give us a shot at, but not sure that the rut would be a huge benefit to us being that we really don't know how to call..

Wihunter If I were you I would hunt first rifle since you aren't familiar with how to call. There is a real possibility that the elk will still be rutting during first rifle this year since the season is so early.
Alot of times ML elk hunts are much harder to draw then 1st rifle. That may help you decide which season to apply for too.

Boredom fuels creativity
By Ashleigh Noyes
I have been trying to lay off of the breading on my meats lately. Instead of breaded chicken tenders, I will season them and bake them. Instead of breading the pork chops and coating them with gravy, I am using a bit of salt and pepper in a skillet and making a veggie as a side dish. However, that gets boring sometimes too, so I thought I could use the boring chicken in a sandwich to make a little change and see how that one goes over on the home front. Let me know how it goes over at your house.

(Reuters) – The Detroit Red Wings extended the longest playoff streak in the NHL as they punched their ticket to the post-season despite a 4-3 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
The Red Wings needed only a point to reach the playoffs for a 23rd straight season, the last time they failed to make it coming in 1990.
Detroit have had to fight through various injuries this campaign to reach their familiar spot.
Tied with sixth-place Philadelphia on 91 points, the Red Wings (38-27-15) are still battling for positioning with just two games remaining.
(Reuters) – The Columbus Blue Jackets are back in the NHL playoffs for the first time in five years after a 3-1 victory over the Dallas Stars ended their drought on Wednesday.
Columbus shot out of the gates with three first-period goals. Sergei Bobrovsky made 33 saves and took a shutout into the third period to make sure the Blue Jackets prevailed.
Columbus (42-31-7), who grabbed the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, were last in the post-season in 2009 when they were swept by Detroit.
With this just their second playoff appearance in franchise history, the Blue Jackets are still searching for their first post-season win.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday popped in on a local pro-Issue 2 and Issue 3 call center and then refused to publicly endorse either Republican initiative. "Yes" votes on Issues 2 and 3 would keep Senate Bill 5 and allow Ohioans to opt out of mandatory health care passed by Congress last year, respectively. From CNN:
"I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues," Romney said, only after repeated questions from reporters. "Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here."
Both topics are tricky for the Romney campaign.
He is no stranger to health insurance mandates, having passed one of his own in 2006 while governor of Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the Republican-backed union legislation remains deeply unpopular in the state, which is all but certain to be a swing state once again in 2012.
Romney also doesn't want to make his tax returns public. Too modest.
Leave it to The Enquirer to publish a story analyzing local school district spending vs. academic success only to ignore the existence of private schools while drawing the conclusion that "a district that spends more doesn't necessarily produce higher test scores and graduation rates." The story, titled "Big-spending districts net mixed academic grades," doesn't include the qualifier "public school" or the possibility that local private schools spend even more per pupil than Indian Hill, Sycamore Township, Mariemont and Norwood, each of which spent $11,958 to $15,209 per student last year and earned Excellent or better ratings.
After three nights of arrests, Occupy Cincinnati protesters Sunday night chose to leave Piatt Park at its 10 p.m. closing time and march on the sidewalks around the park. Eleven members were arrested Saturday night for staying on the square after a rally past the 3 a.m. time allowed by its permit. The group is still waiting for a federal judge to rule on whether or not Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time is a violation of the First Amendment.
Chicago Police arrested 130 Occupy Chicago protesters over the weekend, and the group plans to picket Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office in response. Protesters described harsh treatment by police, with some spending more than 24 hours in jail. The picketing at City Hall will reportedly include a nurse's union in response to two nurses and a union organizer being arrested while volunteering at Occupy Chicago.
Cincinnati Police arrested more than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night. Here's a recap of the events, which notes that a parade to honor local billionaire Carl Lindner was scheduled for this morning.
Here's an impressive collection of reports that back up nearly every grievance articulated in its first official press release. The research was done by a young woman in Boston who runs a Congressional watchdog website called C-SPAN geek. You can follow her on Twitter here.
More than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters were arrested last night just hours before a morning parade was scheduled to celebrate the life of local billionaire Carl Lindner, who died on Monday. The Enquirer's homepage this morning includes a lengthy account of the arrests and reactions by Occupy, along with a live feed covering the parade, which was to begin at Great American Ball Park and end near a Kenwood restaurant where Lindner enjoyed eating.
Lindner supporters gathered at various locations along the parade route, including dozens of Cincinnati Police standing outside District 1 around 9 a.m. Students stood outside a school on 9th Street singing songs about going to heaven. (Occupy Cincinnati representatives have not acknowledged the correlation.)
Approximately 50 Occupy Cincinnati protesters attended yesterday's City Council meeting to testify against Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time. Negotiations between the city and protesters is ongoing, according to reports, but no agreement was made yesterday after protesters turned down an offer of a new place to stay overnight and the city declined to let the group stay in the park under new restrictions.
Councilman Chris Bortz and Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz, both of whom have connections to property along the park, have brought up the possibility that if protesters aren't removed that someday the city will have to let the Ku Klux Klan camp out. Ghiz yesterday was criticized by protesters for posting on Facebook the private information of two people who wrote emails criticizing her (more on that here). CityBeat reflected on the situation again here.
We reported here yesterday that City Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz posted personal information on Facebook about two citizens who had emailed criticism about her pressuring of City Manager Milton Dohoney to remove the Occupy Cincinnati protesters. The news quickly spread on Twitter (which you can follow in our live aggregator below), and Ghiz removed the posts shortly thereafter.
The incident might not seem like the hugest deal — largely a petty socio-political discussion on a conservative's personal Facebook page among a bunch of likeminded people. But the publication of the home and email address of a citizen who opposes an elected official crosses a major ethical line.
We purposely didn't publish screen shots of the posts due to the private information involved. It would have been relevant only in demonstrating the pettiness with which Ghiz offered the critics' opinions to her collection of angry friends. "These are some of the lovely emails my campaign has been getting because I believe the law should be applied evenly and equally to everyone," the first introduction reads. How does she expect people to react to such sarcasm? "Oh dear, Leslie, I also care not for such a movement and its collection of anarchic rogues. Let me set down my tea cup and console you."
Leslie Ghiz has angered some Occupy Cincinnati supporters by posting on her Facebook page the home and email address of one individual and the email address of another who criticized her for pressuring City Manager Milton Dohoney to kick the protesters out of the park. The two individuals wrote to Ghiz's campaign, according to Ghiz.
A federal judge has ordered police to stop ticketing Occupy Cincinnati protesters after the group filed a lawsuit against the city for banning people from Piatt Park when it closes. The city has already ticketed protesters approximately $25,000.
J. Robert Linneman, one of the attorneys who filed the suit, according to Bloomberg Businessweek:
"This case is not about the whether you agree with the political views of Occupy Cincinnati or Occupy Wall Street; it's about the right of the people to assemble in a public park and to engage in protected speech."
Former Bengal Carson Palmer was freed by the team yesterday when it traded him to the Oakland Raiders for two draft picks. Palmer had threatened to retire his he wasn't traded, and the Bengals secured a considerable package of picks in return: the Raiders' first-round pick next year and either a first- or second-round pick in 2013, depending on the team's performance with Palmer.
CityBeat's Halloween beat writer Jeff Beyer wrote a tale of horror and redemption for this week's issue, which just so happens to involve a once-cherished hero (Palmer) returning to wreak havoc on the city for confining him: The Pantom of Paul Brown Stadium: a Love Story.

Hi folks,
does anyone have an idea how to implement newsgroups / discussion boards in ZCS ?
Shared folders AFAIK won't work, as deleting a mail from one user will make it
disappear to all users. (or is there any trick around that ?).
DL's also seem insufficient, at least they would require additional magic that properly
creates folders and filter rules, and automatically repost earlier mails on joining.
Anyone have better idea ?

File:Glacier Mass Balance.png
From Global Warming Art
This figure shows the change in average thickness of mountain glaciers around the world. This information, known as the glaciological mass balance, is found by measuring the annual snow accumulation and subtracting surface ablation driven by melting, sublimation, or wind erosion. These measurements do not account for thinning associated with iceberg calving, flow related thinning, or subglacial erosion. All values are corrected for variations in snow and firn density and expressed in meters of water equivalent (Dyurgerov 2002).
Measurements are shown as both the annual average thickness change and the accumulated change during the fifty years of measurements presented. Years with a net increase in glacier thickness are plotted upwards and in red; years with a net decrease in glacier thickness (i.e. positive thinning) are plotted downward and in blue. Only three years in the last 50 have experienced thickening in the average.
Systematic measurements of glacier thinning began in the 1940s, but fewer than 15 sites had been measured each year until the late 1950s. Since then more than 100 sites have contributed to the average in some years (Dyurgerov 2002, Dyurgerov and Meier 2005). The percentage of measurement sites at which net thinning has been observed averages two-thirds over this interval, and reached a maximum of 96% in 2003 (Dyurgerov 2005). Error bars indicate the standard error in the mean.
Other observations, based on glacier length records, suggest that glacier retreat has occurred nearly continuously since the early 1800s and the end of the little ice age, but variations in rate have occurred, including a significant acceleration during the twentieth century that is believed to have been a response to global warming (Oerlemans 2005).
- Further information: Retreat of glaciers since 1850
These measurements are described in Dyurgerov (2002), updated in Dyurgerov and Meier (2005), and archived at the World Glacier Monitoring Service at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. [1] [2]

Im tuned in.
In the past I have never really gotten into the Olympics. But I will watch the opening ceremonies and try and get a bit more into it this year.

I'm impressed with what we have seen so far. I like this balanced coverage.
There's only one thing that would allow me to sit through this.
IOC: Many Viewers May Be Using Olympics-Enhancing Drugs | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIAThe International Olympic Committee announced Monday that it will launch a full-scale investigation in the wake of allegations of Olympics-enhancing drug use by viewers. "We have reason to suspect that as many as 18 million U.S. viewers are artificially increasing their ability to sit through the Sydney Games with illegal substances, particularly marijuana," IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch said. "These drugs enable viewers to watch NBC Olympic coverage beyond the limits of normal human endurance." Interest-boosting doping, Samaranch said, is particularly rampant among viewers of archery, men's handball, and women's sailing

Howdy all, I've got a question.
The "production" server that we have ZCS OS 3.0 on is beginning to be too slow.
I was wondering if there is a way to migrate ZCS to another server.
I thought about installing ZCS on the new server, then moving the /opt/zimbra folder to the new server, and replacing the blank installation.
Will this work? Any better ideas?

I have tried installing the ZCS connector for BES SMB but the install fails everytime with "The Installer was interrupted before ZCS Connector for BES SMB could be installed. You need to restart the installed to try again. Click "close" to exit". I have rebooted twice hoping that would solve it but it didn't. Restarting the install just gives me that error again.

The Kansas City Royals Baseball Club is an inclusive organization. We welcome fans of every race, color, or creed. So when we mention anything with a religious tone, we do so in respect to the AnyFan. Still, a week after our posting on EWTN, the global Catholic Channel, we thought you'd be amused to know about the chapel held Saturday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
The folks at Fellowship of Christian Athletes, with their national headquarters across I-70 from "The K," hold chapel before each Sunday home game. And Royals Captain Mike Sweeney, who appeared on EWTN twice this past week, asked the bishop of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese to say a Mass Chapel Saturday afternoon. He and Father Richard Rocha then stayed for the game and cheered wildly when Mike hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first.
Father Rocha, at the Stadium Club later, whispered to a Royals associate: "If Jason LaRue hits a home run tonight, I'm going to dance on the table." Jason, you see, was the other Royals player at Mass Saturday. Thankfully, that associate had moved the Bishop and the good Father to another part of the stadium when – bam – Jason smacked a solo homer in the 4th. Can you imagine a man in a black shirt and white collar during our 5th inning dance-off?

Needles In A HaystackWritten on October 1, 2005 Classic Trucks Prevail At West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nationals
ong before I came on board here at CLASSIC TRUCKS; way before my time at the helm of Custom Rodder; heck, even before I got my ears wet gophering on Street Rodder, there was this one event up in Central California, in a quaint little wine town called Paso Robles, that was a must-do. A small organization called West Coast Kustoms, headed up by Rich and Penny Pichette and manned by volunteers from across the state, put on a yearly get-together called the Cruisin' Nationals. We just like to call it Paso for short.
Over the years, regardless of what my job had me doing, I always set Memorial Day Weekend aside for Paso. More often than not, I would have the "luxury" of covering the event for whatever publication, but the point still remained that I was there, right in the middle of what I believed to be the best "custom car" show around--period. On the rare occasion that I was there as a "civilian," I got to meet some great people. But even if I was working, I got to be amongst some of the coolest cars I'd ever seen.
And it was up until this year that I'd gone solely for the customs. I'll admit it, I'm a custom guy at heart, though I've probably had just as many classic trucks as I've had customs. But once I took over this fine magazine, I figured I'd just be going to Paso as a regular civilian from here on out...until I started remembering that there were quite a few classic trucks in attendance in past years. Well, I had the weekend off, hotel booked, and my '53 Chevy all ready to roll, so there was no reason not to bring my camera along with (besides, it's pretty much been surgically attached per company policy!). So the little missus and I rolled out of town at 4 a.m. sharp on Friday morning, en route to Paso, via Highway 101 (and other not-so-smooth L.A. freeways). While there are shorter routes north, I enjoy the coastal route for numerous reasons: cooler air, better scenery, more places to stop for whatever. We met up with some friends in Ventura, and then continued our leisurely trip northbound. Before noon, we rolled into a town packed to the brim with hot rods, customs, motorcycles, and of course classic trucks. Every hotel, motel, restaurant, gas station, and convenience store parking lot was full of cool vehicles. After getting settled in at our preferred lodging locale, we moseyed over to the "old" A&W Drive-In (I say old because it has since changed hands and is now called the Spring Street Drive-In, or something like that, but everyone knows it as the A&W!) to check out the scene and witness the impending evening cruise down Spring Street, Paso's main drag. It was here that my recollections were indeed correct--there were a number of classic trucks, and the event had barely yet begun.
The following morning, the dawn of the big show as it were, we rolled into the park in the middle of town where WCK stages the event. Those wanting "power parking" rights need to be in line by 4 a.m.--we already did that the morning prior, so we enjoyed a few more hours of needed rest, opting to roll into the park around 8 a.m. or so. And it was here that I knew I had brought my camera for a good reason, as I saw more trucks than I had ever imagined. It was turning out to be another great show indeed, and that had nothing to do with how many trucks were there.
I think my correlating Paso, with its former lack of trucks, is sort of like seeing certain types of vehicles on the road more or less. When I bought a '90 Geo Metro a few years back, I started seeing more and more Geo Metros on the road. It wasn't that more people were starting to drive them; it was just that now that I was driving one, I noticed others more. Now that I'm a full-fledged trucker, I notice classic trucks more and more wherever I go.
Bottom line, even if you're a die-hard truck enthusiast--one that only goes to truck-specific events--don't rule out shows like West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nats for fear of being the minority. Chances are, you might have more fun than you ever imagined, plus you'll see a lot of vehicles without beds!
