Dear adidas:
Note to your sponsorship and PR departments: you're a bunch of slackers.
Your brand has two of the most covered and photographed tennis ballers in the world with Novak Djokovic + Ana Ivanovic. But for some asinine reason you've decided to dress them in gear that they've been wearing all year long for Roland Garros - not a sniff of an fresh, interesting style or new colorway.
As a tennis fan, it's frankly boring to watch and shows a lack of innovation from a brand that thinks they're on the cutting edge.
Take a cue from competitor Nike. They seem to understand that Grand Slams are a showcase not only for their ballers but for the brands themselves; they provide a valuable opportunity to communicate real commitment to the sport. Moreover, the get the ballers and fans excited about the tournaments and fashion by giving sneak peeks and previews. Public relations 101 people.
Nike is showing you up in a big way. Tsk, tsk.
In the words of your long-time nemesis just do it.

No kidding! Imagine a relatively new tennis fan who only watched the Aussie, & is now watching the French. Now seeing players in EXACT SAME outfits. BORING! I don't like the same outfits as you, Rich, but you nailed this one.ReplyDelete
Choosing to keep Ana in that color on clay was ridiculous! She should be in something bright and beautiful.ReplyDelete
i really think tennis is the red headed step child of sports but these brands need a kick in their sporty asses - get with it.ReplyDelete

agreed! i couldn't believe it when i saw ana in the same dress. they couldn't even give it to her in a different color? is there any chance it's her choice to stick with it?ReplyDelete
i doubt it - if they asked her to wear a new color or style i'd be surprised if she'd say no. she loves fashion so something especially for her would have been perfect.ReplyDelete
it's all on adidas and their lazy asses.

I, too, am sick to death of Ana's bubble dress! Enough already!ReplyDelete

Glad someone else agrees. I'm ready to see Novak in something new.ReplyDelete

i thought maybe it was a superstition thing since she won the pac life open in that dress. it's strange that nike players look better on the tour but i find adidas women's clothes cuter and more wearable in the store.ReplyDelete

omg yes! i hate ana's bubble dress this year, but i expected at least another colour for a new grandslam. not even that. ugh.ReplyDelete
i think even adidas is reading this blog. Because today i saw on ana's website her NEW dress for wimbledon.ReplyDelete
Don't be to excited... it's almost the same dress as the pink 2006-2007-2008 dress BUT it's WHITE ;-))
the picture is on her homepage...
i really can't believe the marketing dept of Adidas. They have the most beautiful tennis player in years and they don't make any effort in dressing her like Nike does with Serena & Maria...
thanks isa! that dress is horrible - what woman wants to wear a scalloped hem on her dress? bubbles to scallops - brilliant, no?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 24, 2008 at 8:02 AM
this is not about ana, but while we are dissing adidas, can i just say that i am so glad to have found a blog about this. justine henin, the whole time she was active on the tour, wore THE WORST tennis clothes! such a tragedy for such an aesthetic player! only bethanie mattek's outfits could be worse than adidas.ReplyDelete
glad DtL! can be of service anon-11:02ReplyDelete

Super cool! Definitely adding her to my daily blog reads.
Lena of Quality Rivets rocking the mess out of our metallic spiked shoulder patch sweater. She's the kind of chick you wanna spend all day listening to dusty old records with, while daydreaming about silly affairs with dream boats as you lay on your bedroom floor. Yeah, she's that kinda girl & we're down with L-boogie and we hope you will be too.

This is a problem existing in V5 that i still have with the V6.
I have multiple email (aliases) that drop into my mail box.
I get confused when i have to answer in order to easily select from which "account" i want a mail or an answer to be send.
The only way to reach my goal is to go into the account parameters and change the "from" value using one of the aliases present there, each time.
Does it exists a way to display the "from" field (and select one of the alias) directly from the compose windows (or any other trick that reach the same goal).
Thanks for any clue

Any ideas of where I should look to find errors .. other clients on the same BES/Zimbra do not have this issue.

Video: Kennesaw drivers hitting unmarked median near Town Center
KENNESAW -- Drivers in Kennesaw be on the lookout for an unmarked median on Barrett Parkway eastbound near Busbee Parkway. Driver Larry Kabo ran across it at night and did wheel, tire, strut and suspension damage totaling nearly $2,500.
Even more than wanting his money back, Larry wants the problem fixed so that other drivers won't suffer the same fate. She contacted 11Alive for help.
We alerted Cobb County who said the responsibility actually belonged to the Georgia D.O.T. After a little back and forth, GDOT sent out an inspection to to photograph the median. Now, those pix are in the hands of the traffic ops team, which is currently evaluating the problem.

No Sympathy for NBA Players
The NBA owners and players have been meeting recently in an attempt to save some sort of season. The owners are demanding serious cuts in player's salaries but the players have not been willing to give in. The war of words in the media has definitely tilted towards the owners as fans simply don't have any sympathy for the players. This could be a big week for negotiations and it may decide whether we can bet on NBA basketball anytime soon.
Players Fighting a Losing Battle
You really have to kind of feel sorry for NBA player's union president Derek Fisher. He is a really good guy who is trying to make the best of a bad situation. The owners are not going to give in to the players but Fisher has to put up a brave face and try and hold the union together. It doesn't help that many of the players have no clue as to the reality of the situation. "We have 450 guys that are entitled to various opinions," said Fisher, "It's extremely difficult to try to not just control their thinking, but make sure as a group we're sending a collective message."
Mixed Message from Players
The players can't even get the right message out to the media. Some players have said that they have considered caving in to the owner's demands. Others, like Denver's Kenyon Martin have even started to argue with fans.
Owners Winning the War
The owners are going to win the war; it is just a matter of how big the victory will be. The NBA is not the NFL and there is no outcry from the public to save the season. The NBA owners are not getting much sympathy from the public either but they don't need any. They are going to win this battle and they are getting a lot of help from the players who can't get any type of consistent message out there so that the public will support them. The players will have to give in to the owners to some extent. Perhaps Fisher can save something but as each day goes by the likelihood of the players winning anything grows dimmer. Whether there is any season to bet on NBA basketball is still up in the air but what we do know is that the owners are going to win when this lockout is over.

License plate data hits 42M mark
Information stays on hand for 2 years
- Background: SANDAG knows where you've been
Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about the massive database of license plate information collected by the San Diego Association of Governments -- now with 42 million records about when and where vehicles have been spotted by law enforcement cameras.
SANDAG keeps each piece of data for two years, but when it's finally purged out, that's not because of some concern about privacy. The data is eliminated because of storage limitations for SANDAG and diminishing usefulness for law enforcement.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is one of a dozen agencies in the county sending license plate reads into the database managed by SANDAG.
"We all have a mutual goal of crime prevention and catching the crooks," Commander David Myers said.
The concern from civil liberties advocates is that the data is amassed about millions of innocent citizens, not just criminals, and could be misused. Once the immediate use of scanning a license plate to see if a vehicle is stolen has been served, they argue, the data should be destroyed.
Asked why not quickly delete the information of people not accused of a crime, Myers said the notion is impractical. Besides, he said, how do police know someone won't commit a crime in the future?
The International Association of Chiefs of Police surveyed 40 law enforcement agencies using license plate readers nationally. Of those, 18 said they store the data less than two years. Ten gave unclear answers to the question, and five said they keep the data indefinitely.
"Some jurisdictions hold it until the end of the shift, that's it. … Some, a year, some, three years, some indefinitely," said David Roberts, the author of the study.
A 2011 study cited a test of the technology at the border with Mexico. Of 780,000 plates scanned at the border, more than 1,300 could be linked to crimes, including four murders.
The sheriff's department credits license plate technology with helping solve violent and property crimes. Myers cited local cases of arrests of people suspected of indecent exposure, selling methamphetamine, and burglarizing a string of more than 25 homes.
The technology can be used to set up a "geofence" around a victim of domestic violence, with triggers if the perpetrator violates a restraining order. It was also used to close in on John A. Gardner III, the convicted killer of teens Amber Dubois and Chelsea King, officials said.
Myers said the department plans to buy five more vehicle-mounted systems and two fixed cameras this year. But he said that even a doubling of capacity — the department has 43 car-mounted and three fixed cameras — would not be enough to adequately police the county.
SANDAG says the only data in the system comes from local police, and that the agency has no agreements with private entities to share information. Some Border Patrol and Immigrations and Customs officials have access to the data by virtue of being on task forces to stem violent crimes or narcotics, Myers said. But the access is not agency-wide, and would be used only for that type of local policing.
"It's not an immigration tool," said Jan Caldwell, a sheriff's spokeswoman.
Pam Scanlon, who runs the database for SANDAG, said records are regularly deleted.
"Every day new plates come in, and old plates go out," she said.
SANDAG says the data is housed in the same Phoenix, Ariz., facility where the FBI maintains a backup server. The regional database went into place in December 2011 and cost $184,000 to set up, the agency says, a bill footed by federal taxpayers through homeland security funds.

Etsy Sellers We Love
• Black Needle-punch carpet; 26 inches wide (Caldwell Carpet, 800-772-7090)
• Prismacolor white-colored pencils (dickblick.com)
• Clear finishing spray (Krylon Make It Last Clear Sealer; joann.com)
Step one: Purchase an indoor/outdoor needle-punch carpet. To turn it into a circle: Mark the rug's center point with a Prismacolor white-colored pencil. Measure and mark the distance from that point to a spot about half an inch from the rug's edge. Cut a piece of string to that length. Tie one end of the string to the pencil and secure the other end of the string to the rug's center point with a tack. Pull the string taut and draw a large circle onto the rug; remove the string. Cut out the circle, just inside the white pencil mark, with sharp scissors.
Step two: Using a yardstick, evenly space and draw eight intersecting lines that cross the rug from edge to edge. Between those lines, draw arches around the mat,
using our photo as a guide.
Step three: Lastly, coat the rug with a clear finishing spray to protect your web from trick-or-treating feet.
• Cheesecloth (joann.com)
• Small paper cups
• Small white balloons
• Liquid fabric stiffener
• Black felt or construction paper
Step one:
These spirited little fellows are a cinch to make once you've set up a workstation. To do so, stack one small paper cup atop another that's turned upside down. For extra stability, tape the cups together. Inflate a small white balloon and rest it in the top cup. Cut cheesecloth into pieces that measure about eight inches square and fill a bowl with fabric stiffener.
Step two:
Soak a piece of cheesecloth in fabric stiffener and immediately drape it over the balloon. Let dry for 10 minutes.
Step three:
Pop the balloon with a pin to reveal a hardened shape. Cut two tiny circles out of black felt or construction paper for eyes and affix them to the ghost with tacky glue.
Step four:
Remove the ghost from cup and use your fingers to rough up the ends. Thread fishing line through the top of each ghost, securing with a knot to hang.

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Ryan Anderson's go-ahead 3-point play with
1.8 seconds left proved to be the difference as the New Orleans Hornets held
on for a 98-96 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Anderson put in the go-ahead bucket as he fought through a Jared Jeffries foul
underneath the hoop. He finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds to help the
Hornets snap a three-game losing streak.
Greivis Vasquez chipped in 20 points and rookie Anthony Davis continued his
strong play as of late for New Orleans, totaling 18 points with 10 rebounds.
Damian Lillard had the Trail Blazers ahead by one with 11.2 seconds left after
answering an Anderson triple with one of his own. He ended with 20 points and
eight assists for Portland, which had come in as winners in four of its last
Wesley Matthews scored a game-high 24 points, but misfired on the potential
game-winning basket as time expired. J.J. Hickson contributed 14 points and 14
boards in the setback.

Wildfires test limits of corporate generosity
Who should pick up 2007 wildfire bill not covered by insurance?
The utility's investors 96% (43)
The utility's customers 4% (2)
45 total votes.
In the days after devastating 2007 wildfires sparked by backcountry power lines, utility executives set up a new charity, the Sempra Energy Foundation, intent on helping victims of a conflagration that killed two and burned more than 1,300 homes in San Diego County.
In the months to follow, the nonprofit foundation funded by Sempra Energy investors distributed $5,158,000 among 1,238 property owners and renters who were left homeless by the fire or lost significant holdings. An additional $60,000 went to a dozen recovery groups that rallied behind people whose homes burned.
Five years after the fires, Sempra's role as a corporate citizen has been thrust into the spotlight as subsidiary San Diego Gas & Electric seeks to recover at least $326 million from utility customers for fire and legal costs not covered by insurance. Another $1.4 billion in settlement demands still are pending in court.
With a key regulatory decision due next week, victims of the fires have drawn a line in the sand, insisting that utility investors pick up the final tab. Executives at Sempra and SDG&E say they will probably be allowed to recoup costs from thousands of settlements with individuals, businesses and government entities.
Renee Van Heel received $5,000 from the Sempra foundation after fleeing her uninsured Monta Elena home along with her husband and three school-aged sons. The family watched their tract house burn on "Good Morning America," and they rebuilt after suing Sempra subsidiary SDG&E and settling out of court.
She's grateful for the Sempra foundation's initial charitable gift — and outraged that utility customers may end up paying for the fire's destruction..
"Every little bit helped. We so appreciated it," said Van Heel, who remains active in a support group for wildfire and disaster victims. "It makes no sense that our friends, and people I don't even know, whose homes weren't damaged, should have to pay for this."
Van Heel was among more than 800 people who packed a public hearing in April to comment on an SDG&E proposal to create a wildfire expense balancing account that would streamline cost recovery from customers.
Under the most current proposal, investors would pay the first $10 million for each fire and 10 percent of costs thereafter, leaving the remaining 90 percent to utility customers. Whether costs from the 2007 wildfires will be allowed remained an open question this week as the California Public Utilities Commission prepared to vote on a final decision Thursday.
"Some commenters offered general praise for SDG&E as a corporate citizen," a commissioner and administrative law judge later wrote, summarizing the public's reaction at the hearing. "But a majority of the commenters opposed the Commission including the 2007 costs in the Wildfire Expense Balancing Account as well as the general concept."
Those who criticized the plan included Dena Bielasz, who survived the Guejito fire by jumping into the swimming pool with her husband while their house burned. Another was the son of teacher Victoria Fox and property manager John Christopher Bain, who died at their home in the Guejito fire.
"We do not want this rate increase ever," said Michael Bain. "It's never going to happen."
At the same time, SDG&E won general praise from representatives of the prevention and treatment BURN Institute, from the 211 San Diego health and disaster line, from an umbrella group for 30 volunteer fire departments and from the local American Red Cross, among many others.
Those groups are among the steady beneficiaries of $5 million in annual charitable giving by SDG&E — independent of the Sempra Energy Foundation — according to disclosures filed with the California Public Utilities Commission.

Just installed zcs-3.0.0_M3_270.RHEL4 on a fully patched/updated centos 4.2 box.
The install went beautifully, only configuration required was admin password.
Applied password, started zimbra, all is well.
Can't log into admin console at https://blahblah:7071 get "Authentication Failed"
when logging in as email@example.com.
However, using the same user/password pair for the "regular" account
at firstname.lastname@example.com it works just fine. I thought at email@example.com
was the same ldap info user and administrator. So, why does one work and
not the other? Perhaps that's the wrong question.
At any rate, before I reformat this whole machine and start the entire installation
process over from scratch, can someone point out what I have done wrong?
Thanks kindly in advance.

Palmitoyl oligopeptide is an ingredient in skin care products that offer anti-aging benefits. To better appreciate the role of palmitoyl oligopeptide in these formulations, it's important to first understand the function of peptides, collagen, and hyaluronic acid in healthy skin.
Peptides occur naturally in the body and have many different purposes. Some peptides carry secreted hormones to specific organs. Neuropeptides help to transmit sensory information throughout the body. Still other peptides are integral to the formation of collagen and elastin, proteins that determine the structure and elasticity of skin.
Simply put, peptides are two or more amino acids that are linked together. When this chain is shorter than 50 amino acids, it's considered a protein fragment and is called an oligopeptide. Typically this peptide chain must link more than 50 amino acids in order to make a protein.
The protein collagen is a fibrous component of connective tissue, cartilage, and bone, and is abundant throughout the body. When the body is young and healthy, collagen makes skin plumper and firm. Working together with elastin, the two proteins give skin its shape, strength, and resiliency. Two main factors are responsible for the degradation of collagen - the natural process of aging and exposure to the sun. As you age, collagen production slows, and what remains begins to break down. And no matter what the weather or season, UV radiation is able to deeply penetrate unprotected skin layers, altering the cellular makeup of collagen. Deteriorating collagen means skin becomes more lined, thinner, and may sag.
Another vital component of the skin is hyaluronic acid. It regulates and promotes cell growth, and also speeds healing. Skin that is rich in hyaluronic acid looks fuller and less wrinkled.
What do peptides, collagen and hyaluronic acid have to do with palmitoyl oligopeptide? When an oligopeptide is engineered in the laboratory and then attached to a fatty acid, palmitoyl oligopeptide is created. The fatty acid is palmitic acid, and it helps the compound to be absorbed by the skin. Applying palmitoyl oligopeptide formulations topically leads to the production of both collagen and hyaluronic acid well below the skin's surface. Because of this, palmitoyl oligopeptide is a key ingredient in many cosmetics.
Palmitoyl oligopeptide in skin creams works to increase collagen and hyaluronic acid levels. Who is an ideal candidate for palmitoyl oligopeptide-based creams? If you have skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, stretch marks, and thinning skin, consider using a product that includes palmitoyl oligopeptide. These issues can be caused by a variety of factors – dehydration, a lack of sleep, hormones, pollution, a poor diet, smoking, stress, sun exposure, and weight fluctuations. When palmitoyl oligopeptide-based creams are applied regularly, research shows that skin becomes smoother and more evenly toned, lines and wrinkles are diminished, and the skin thickens. Additionally, palmitoyl oligopeptide can help shield the skin from the damaging effects of UV rays. While it does not have the protection level of sunscreen and should never be used in place of SPF, it can provide an extra barrier to safeguard skin.
Palmitoyl oligopeptide is also a popular ingredient in eye serums. The eye area has thinner, more delicate skin. So aging and other stressors may affect the eye area sooner and more dramatically than they do the face, neck and décolletage. This results in the eye area being plagued by crow's feet, textured skin, bags under the eyes, and dark circles. Palmitoyl oligopeptide-based eye serums are effective at reducing lines, improving texture, firming the eye skin, and brightening the skin's tone. While mature skin will certainly see visible improvements from the regular applications of palmitoyl oligopeptide, younger customers can also benefit from the collagen-boosting effects.
Anti-aging lip products also include palmitoyl oligopeptide. These formulations target both the lips and the area around the mouth. Concerns include thinning lips, vertical lines on the lips, frown lines, and fine lines radiating from the mouth. With regular applications, palmitoyl oligopeptide-based lip therapies will plump and smooth the lips, as well as diminish lines on and around the lips. For those considering lip injections, dermatologists may recommend trying a palmitoyl oligopeptide product first, as it may deliver similar results.
Palmitoyl oligopeptide usually causes no side effects. However, if you develop a rash or more serious symptoms after applying, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

The aim of the symposium, which connects school museums and researchers into the history of education, is to present and explore the professional historical contribution of male and women teachers and particularly their associations to the development of schools and pedagogy, as well as to cultural and general development. Teacher associations united the teaching profession in the establishment of their (trade union) interests, had a significant influence on the development of teacher education (including their adult and continuing education) and, through teaching and educational publications of different ideological orientations, helped to shape the development of education. Teachers' gatherings, publishing activities and the appearance of school museums were among the most important forms of activity.
Teacher associations and their regional, national (ethnic), state and international connections went beyond the local importance of frequently very diverse activities. They were marked in particular by individual teachers who were important for a particular village, town or wider region. Through changes that took place over time, we can also discern the differing importance attributed to the teaching profession, which is why we also encourage comparative analyses of the role of teachers and their associations. Contributions offering an overview of a wider region or even a whole country are particularly welcome, as are presentations and analyses of archive and museum material and, above all, insights into our museums through an analysis of exhibitions on this subject.
The theme of teachers, teacher associations and their work and other connections in education is directed at specialists working in museums both large and small and in other collections related to school and education, as well as at researchers and lecturers who are involved in the history of education at universities, institutes and in archives.
The presentation of museological news of the family of education / school museums and successful museum projects regards to the history of education are welcome.
The working language of the conference is English. Paper presentations should last between 15-20 minutes, including 3-5 minutes discussions after presentation at plenary sessions and 90-minute parallel sections.
The "Babel Section": Only one 90-minute session of the parallel sections (each with a maximum of 4 to 5 presentations) will take place in three groups for participants from the Germanic, Romance and Slavic language areas in one of these languages.
Please note that the 'Babel Section' is designed first of all for the colleagues who work at small school museums without earlier experiences with English, the lingua franca of the modern era.

'Miracle baby' surprises everyone
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:16 p.m.
Little Easton Daniel Batson is being called a "miracle baby," and rightfully so.
Ways to help
There are three ways to help Easton Batson's family:
* A Cookin' for a Cause benefit rib sale is Saturday at Grandview Rentals, 800 N. Pine Ave. The cost is $20 per slab, with tickets sold in advance only at Jerry's Pawn & Gun, GTO Airboats, Mullins Automotive or Grandview Rentals, or by calling 572-3350
* Handmade bracelets in Gator colors are $5 and available by calling 433-5573.
* Donations can be deposited to a special account, No. 7441727653, at any Wells Fargo bank.
Born March 10 at 35 weeks gestation, and weighing 5 pounds, 9 ounces, Easton wasn't breathing and was placed on a ventilator and feeding tube. Doctors at Munroe Regional Medical Center had little hope he would survive without life support, a tough message for Easton's parents, Candice and Danny Batson, of Sparr. The decision was made to send Easton to the neonatal intensive care unit at Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The Batsons learned their baby had bleeding in his brain and was having seizures. Days later, an MRI showed that half of Easton's brain was dying and the other half contained blood. He was clinically labeled a vegetable and was expected to need artificial support for his entire life.
When their baby was 5 days old, and with little hope for his survival, the Batsons made the difficult decision to remove him from life support.
"When the doctor told us he wouldn't be able to sustain his own life, we didn't want him hooked up on machines and feeding tubes all his life," Candice Batson said, as she thought back on that fateful day. "We knew the decision we were going to make, we were going to let him go."
Surrounded by family members and friends, the Batsons signed the document for removal of life support and waited for the inevitable.
"They told us he would only last two or three hours," Candice said. "I held him the whole time. I was sitting in a rocking chair, and Danny sat with me, kind of cradling his hand underneath him. The doctor came around every hour to check his heart rate. Everybody around us ended up sobbing and crying. Me and Danny just put our heads down and bawled. Two or three hours after, he wasn't changing. His heart rate was the same. His breathing was the same."
Easton surprised everyone when he rallied without the assistance of life support. Two weeks later, the Batsons took their baby home and, as of Tuesday, he continued to receive positive checkups from the doctor.
"He's doing OK," Candice said. "He's able to open his eyes, cry, move. He drinks from a bottle. They were able to take out the feeding tube. The doctors said they aren't quite sure how he's doing all the things he's doing. We're Christians. The only thing we could explain was that God still wanted him here."
In addition to the emotional stress, the ordeal has taken a financial toll on the family. Danny, who also has a son, Dalton, 10, had to take a couple weeks off from his job at Grandview Equipment Rental. The family's health insurance won't cover all the hospital costs, including multiple MRI's and EEG's, Candice said.
Friends and co-workers have organized a couple of fundraisers to help with medical bills. A rib barbecue, with tickets being sold in advance, is set for Saturday at Danny's workplace. Their friends Justin and Jessica Smith have been selling handmade orange-and-blue Gator-themed bracelets in honor of Easton's stay at Shands. So far, the bracelets have raised $400, and more orders are coming in, Jessica Smith said.
To Danny, it has been a rollercoaster ride from the beginning.
"It was a little rough to start with," he said. "The pregnancy went so well, it was real hard to handle, at first. We just kind of hold our heads up and take each day as a blessing. I've had my hopes up. It's already been a miracle. Hopefully, the miracle will just keep going on."

Have stayed at this Bed and Breakfast several times on my way to or from visiting family in Ruidoso and have always had a great visit. Ruth and Ian Torrens are lovely hosts. Breakfast is wonderful. Loved the atmosphere in the Hotel. Love the creaky floors and even the railroad sounds at night. Staying at this place has become a tradition for our road trip. Can't wait to go back.

Beautiful accomodations!!!!! Comfortable, clean , quiet, well maintained. Our only negative comment would be about the restaurants in Post. There aren't any worth eating at.

we stayed at the hotel Garza sunday defore labor day, the innkeepers Ian and ruth were great, we had reserved a room, but actually had our choice of other rooms if we wanted. The courtyard was a great place to unwind after a day of driving, the breakfast was great, we plan to go back again next year, Don and Mary Jane

A neat place to stay on the way back to Dallas after a tech game. Its not in Lubbock but rather quiet, Post. The scenery there is spectacular. Post is 30 miles southwest of Lubbock and is peaceful and nice. A good respite from a fast-paced big city. The bedding of the hotel is fabulous and the rooms are very cozy. I really loved my pillow. Its sort of like you are at grandma's house. The breakfast was delicious however it is only for 30 minutes. So don't be late. I wish it were for a whole hour.

Very friendly staff, met all our needs, just need a little more info on the room we stayed in, did not have a bathtub and we have a 9 month old that's not quite old enough to take a shower yet, lol. Over all experience was great. If you don't like trains, don't stay here, close to the trackes and I swear the conductor layed on the horn through the whole town.

Food, room and just everything. The Inn Keepers were friendly and just wonderful. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back

We rented the entire B&B for a girl's weekend & it was great!! The front main room has enough room to play games (either table games or team games). The weekend was Post Trade Days so there were shops open and vendors on the sidewalks. When we asked for something (music, extra bedding, etc), the owners provided whatever we needed. There is a refrigerator for the much needed refreshments (liquid + food). We had a ball. Thanks to Ian & Ruth for your gracious hospitality and patience for your lack of sleep while we were there. The grounds are even nicer than the last time we were there. Thanks, Cindy

At first our bathroom toilet didn't work and we let Ruth know and she moved us into the the room across the hall . It was a nice upgrade and we enjoyed the room very much. It was so nice of Ruth . We had a great time and will be back. Enjoyed everything about the place.

Charming B&B in a beautiful old building in historic downtown Post. Friendly staff and resident dog. The outside sitting area and the library were very nice surprises.
3,2 en julio 16, 2013
Rooms were very clean and bed was comfortable. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was good tasting food and there was plenty for everyone. Loved the decor/atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. Our room was 82 degrees...after turning down the thermostat and waiting for it to cool off I figured out on my own the air wasn't even turned on. Couldn't use the phone to call for assistance because they had no info on how to do so (I tried dialing 0, #). The place is beautiful and I will definitely go back, just hoping this info helps them improve their service.

Hotels in Lubbock were full due to graduation, so we decided to stay in Post, TX at the Hotel Garza Bed & Breakfast. Will likely stay here in future trips to Lubbock, even though it's 38 miles to Lubbock.
4,6 en mayo 14, 2013
The Hotel Garza was the centerpiece of a weekend getaway for a birthday and Mothers Day combined. Post is a delightful little town, and the hotel is located right in the thick of the action. A wonderful place and wonderful people.

Not the best value around, but we would stay here again. The place is fascinating, and the owners are gracious and friendly. Next time we will hole up & stay a little longer!

I would highly recommend the Hotel Garza for anyone who will be anywhere near this spot in West Texas, only 40 minutes away from Lubbock. The interior is stunning, the host and hostess are marvelous, and the breakfast was delicious. The best part to me was the beautiful library with the pressed tin ceiling and the fireplace - I felt like I had gone back in time.

My husband surprised me with a getaway for the weekend after Valentine's Day. When we arrived I was told that we were in for a "Murder Mystery Evening." The suite room that my husband booked was wonderful and the evening was one of the most fun things I have participated in within the Lubbock area. I highly reccommend it to others that are able to participate. I have already booked the entire hotel for December 2013 for an employee Holiday Murder Mystery Party.

The rooms were comfortable and decorated with time period furniture. The food was good and there was plenty. The "innkeepers" were pleasant and helpful.

The pricing was very reasonable, the rooms were warm and inviting, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. My wife and I were very impressed with the Hotel Garza, and will definitely return in the future.

A nice place to relax and kick back. The room was nice and clean. People were friendly. Breakfast was okay. We would stay again.

I attended one of the Murder Mysteries that the owners host. It was a 20s theme mystery and the hotel atmosphere lended itself quite well to add to the experience. The room was fantastic, the service was great, and breakfast was wonderful. I will certianly be coming back for another stay!

We stayed at Hotel Garza while attending a wedding in Lubbock. To our good fortune there were no room available in Lubbock so we opted to stay in Post. It was very relaxing with a laid back feel. We look forward to staying there again in the future.

We stayed at the Hotel Garza Bed and Breakfast on our way to Palo Duro Canyon from San Antonio. The hotel is located on Main Street in Post, Texas. The town itself is small and quaint. We found our stay at the Hotel Garza to be very pleasant. The Hotel is well appointed with period furniture and the rooms are fairly spacious. There is also a very relaxing garden beside the hotel. The hosts were very pleasant and informative and patiently answered our questions about the town and the B&B. They obviously take pride in their business. Breakfast was excellent and filling. The only downside was the proximity to the railroad. But that is part of the adventure.

We celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary by staying in the Garden Suite at Hotel Garza B&B & it was FABULOUS!!!! The room was beautiful & clean & the bed was very comfortable! There were antiques everywhere & I love antiques---it was a sentimental journey for us. We even read some of one of the antique books in the living room area. The hot breakfast was perfect & delicious. The owners were very personable; friendly & accomodating! We will definitely stay here again!!! Love it!

We enjoy the Garza Hotel because it is such a histroic building and a nice little get away.

The room was nice.a little small. We had a nice roomy bathroom. All very clean. The breakfast was good,but we stay in alot of B&Bs so this breakfast was a little plane.
4,2 en agosto 28, 2012
We decided to stop in Post on our way to Ruidoso and relax 1/2 way thru our trip. We chose Hotel Garza instead of a chain hotel. It was most definitely a good decision. We enjoyed a drink on the patio before we dined at the new Steakhouse down the street. Our room was quaint and very adequate. The breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. We did not see the ghost "Posti" but maybe next time. There is a railroad close by but somehow it added to the atmosphere and was not that annoying. Overall we had a great experience.

My husband and I stayed here for our tenth year anniversary. We arrived and were escorted by a very nice gentleman to our room. The room (suite) was small but nice and the building was wonderful. I love old buildings and old pictures. It has a really neat library and lobby. My only complaint would be that when morning came it seemed that they were anxious for the rooms to be empty. I could smell breakfast cooking around 7:45 or so, they serve breakfast at 8:30 but my husband and I took the opportunity to sleep in and did not eat the wonderful smelling breakfast. At nine someone knocked loudly on the door, I got up to answer but no one was there. At ten someone unlocked the door and started to come in, I called out "can I help you?" and they said "sorry" and shut the door. So we packed up and left. When we checked out the lobby was empty, we rang the bell on the desk and waited but no one came so we just left the key on the desk. So we didn't get to interact with the owners or other guests or anything but they were friendly when we checked in. I guess next time we need to get up and eat breakfast. Trying to sleep in was pointless, perhaps we will on our 20th year anniversary. :)

It is a great place and has so much charm. We enjoyed the one night we stayed. Just wish bed was a little softer but we sleep on a water bed at home so that could be our fault. Breakfast was great .
4,8 en julio 23, 2012
This hotel is simply beautiful, and the innkeepers did a wonderful job making us feel like we were in a home away from home. They just dont make hotels like this anymore! The ceilings were beautiful, and each of the rooms had a completely unique decor. My husband decided he wants us to plan a special family trip and renew our vows here. It was definately worth the detour on our trip to stay at this beautiful hotel!
4,6 en julio 22, 2012
Stayed the night at the Hotel Garza, our room #24, was clean, bright, cool, and not overly decorated! The hotel is lovely, and well cared for. with a wonderful, private patio. Would stay again!

Hotel Garza is lovely - the room was comfortable, nice patio area for relaxing. Just wish we'd had time to enjoy the little shops on Main Street!

truly, truly enjoyed our brief stay in Post, TX. just as we expected: outstanding decor, outstanding staff and the attitude was so very warm and pleasing, with smiles and their help, just waiting to assist you. Wow!!! The surrounding shops accommodated you with such collections you just want to take them all home and the shop keepers were so helpful and pleasant, made you feel right at home to just browse at your convenient. Small town with a big, big heart TEXAS style. You need to allow yourself to experiance the warmness, patience to open up and enjoy. Sparks, Nevadian and on the road again. Thank for all that you have done to make our stay enjoyable.

We stayed in Post for my sons' graduation from Texas Tech because all the hotels in Lubbock were full. What a pleasant surprise the Hotel Garza was. My husband was skeptical and didn't know what to expect, and he was really impressed. For being such an old house, it was well maintained and updated, but has kept all the original charm. The innkeepers were very friendly and gracious. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of things to choose from. The side yard was beautiful and a wonderful place to read a book and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The only negative was that we found several bugs around the bed and one even in the sheets, smushed. It made me feel that there were bed bugs, which gave me the creeps. It was probably some other kind of bug, because there was no other evidence to think they were actually bed bugs, but it still freaked me out. Also, there was a huge moth in our room each night we came home (2 different moths). We couldn;t figure out how they got in. Besides the bug situation, we enjoyed our stay. By the way, it's about 35 minutes to the Tech campus and an easy drive.

I really enjoyed my weekend stay at the Garza Hotel. I love old buildings and antiques. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and the garden area was peaceful. If you go to the garden at the right time, you can visit with the owners yellow lab or the yellow cat that hangs around! I could have done without the train horns at the intersection a half a block away in the middle of the night; but that in itself was unique and worth taking in!

Nice rooms, very clean. Great little town, convenient to Lubbock. Breakfast is nice but after the first stay it sort of lacks interest because the time is so limited and so is the menu/ buffet.

This hotel is awesome! The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are so quaint. You feel like you've taken a step back to a simpler more relaxed time when you step in the front door. It was very clean and neat and the price was great. We did not have breakfast, but it smelled UH-mazing!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and we will be staying here again!!

We enjoyed the historical building along with the squeaky staircase. It was a reminder of the old days. Elegant, but antique. This was the first time we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast as a family. We prefer Garza Bed & Breakfast over any of the hotels in Post, Texas. Flat screen TV's are in every room! Definitely found a place to go within 3 hours of home. Very good breakfast buffet and the dining tables are very elegant. The Innkeepers were helpful and available. We also went to see a movie at the old movie theatre within walking distance.

We needed a stop on a trip and spotted Hotel Garza in Post. A lovely couple runs the place. The evening walk on main street was a hoot. We'll stay here again. Say hello to Buddy!

Absolutely terrific experience. For a marginal difference in price of a standard hotel, you get to settle into a truly charming historic facility that's a tourist destination in itself. Tour the variously decorated room, the impressive library of antique books, and a waterfall at the patio. Save on your food budget and bring a cooler; why dine out when you can snack and enjoy your wine in the gazebo? ('Buddy' and a small, orange jungle cat are entertainment attractions in themselves--and appreciate the simplest and smallest of gratuities.) Would have enjoyed the chance to chat with Ruth and Ian more. We could only stay one night--think it'd take two to really soak up all there was to enjoy at the Hotel Garza...more to explore the rest of Post--a new addition to my map of potential vacation spots.

I have never been to a Bed and Breakfast before, but this was a great stop for my wife and I on our 3000 mile roadtrip. I would recommend it to anyone. Try the Miss Kitty Suite. Just the name of the suite is fun.

I enjoyed my stay at the Garza Hotel Bed and Breakfast immensely. The hosts are welcoming and warm. Breakfast was delicious. Have stayed in another B and B in the past and enjoyed the small size and warmth of this place! Will return again soon I hope.

We had intended to stay in Lubbock, but the Future Farmers Convention had filled all the hotels. I found Hotel Garza by searching the web and liked what I saw. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back on the return leg of our trip.

A wonderful experience. Would recommend this B&B to anyone coming to this area. The owners made this a relaxing and wonderful stop on our trip.
5 en julio 11, 2011
My wife and I would really love to stay there again very soon.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The hospitality is wonderful! Being so close to Lubbock, it's a great weekend get-a-way.

Great B&B, friendly people, clean. Don't like how area hotels require two night stays during busy Texas Tech weekends, but it is what it is!

This was my second stay at Hotel Garza - the first was over ten years ago. In both cases with both owners I found the entire experience memorable and delightful. The owners met us with a personal touch and were delighted to show us around with the improvements in both hotel and grounds. The breakfast was delicious and we would recommend as stay here to those who treasure history and heritage.
4,4 en mayo 18, 2011
Though our room was small, it was in keeping in the authenticity of the old hotel turned B&B. The hosts are most accomodating, and the public areas and landscaped courtyard are very welcoming. The breakfast is full course, not just a few pastries like many B&Bs, but could have offered a bit more variety from day to day, as it was the same.
4,8 en mayo 07, 2011
This is a great find! My wife and I really enjoyed the hotel and the garden. The 'Hotel Dog' was also a very pleasant surprise. Buddy welcomed us warmly with a cold nose and a great attitude. Since the hotel wasn't very busy when we checked in, we got to see almost all of the rooms. We will be back!
4,6 en marzo 30, 2011
We went with a group for the weekend to participate in a "Murder Mystery" at the hotel--most fun we have had on a weekend trip ever! We all dressed in 1920s costumes & played our various parts. Food was excellent and the owners do such a great job. Tip: opt for one of the suites--you get a much larger space.
5 en enero 11, 2011
When you first walk in to the Hotel Garza B&B, you will be amazed. My husband and I enjoy staying in B&B's. This one was by far our favorite! We loved staying there!

Loved the old Garza Hotel! Great hosts, yummy breakfast and had a blast playing with Buddy, the resident Golden Retriever.

Charming little town, Post, TX. We would stay again, very comfortable. Staff was kind & hospitable.
2,4 en septiembre 26, 2010
The room (Violet, room 20, I think) was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Breakfast wasn't. No coffee (no way that we found to make coffee), self made cereal, nothing cooked, no fellowship with host/hostess. No one about to ask questions. We don't even know if we checked out properly, since we saw no one at all from the time we woke until we departed.
4,8 en septiembre 07, 2010
We found our innkeepers' story very interesting--an Irishman & a Texas gal meet & marry. They were friendly without being intrusive. They seemed to enjoy their roles as innkeepers. The hotel is historic and has been restored well. The bed was comfortable; the decor followed a theme; the library was available & used by us. Breakfast was tasty. Sandwiches & desserts were served for lunch with a fee. We recommend it to others as a bed & breakfast to experience & a town to explore. Stuart & Cecilia Jones

This was a fantastic place to relax and unwind in a charming and homey environment! My Mom and I felt very at home and welcome at the Hotel Garza, and it's not only a comfortable place to stay, but a step back in history with each room decorated in it's own unique style. Definitely a special experience that is tough to find in today's world of impersonal and antiseptic hotel chains. This place is a great value as breakfast is provided, and it's definitely the best option in town! Hands down. Ian and Ruth are great, and made our stay so enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quaint place to stay with plenty of modern ammenities.
4,8 en julio 30, 2010
We celebrated my dad's 78th birthday in my mother's home town of Post. We went shopping in the quaint stores, ate at the sandwich shop, and attended Ragtown Theatre on Friday. Our stay at Hotel Garza was delightful! We are planning another trip in October!
4,0 en agosto 23, 2009
Ruth and Ian are absolutely gracious and kind hosts. They went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Garza. Our party of nine and truly enjoyed themselves...the evening meal was delicious, the entertainment lively and fun, the breakfast was tops. We highly recommend these accomonadations...they are more than just a night's lodging...they are an experience in fine West Texas hospitality in a unique yet inviting setting.

The ratings are in! So how did the 2013 Grammy Awards do? Well, even though the numbers are huge, they are still down BIG from last year's record high audience. On Sunday, 28.37 million viewers tuned in to watch the award show. Well, last year, 39.9 million viewers tuned in to watch! No one is freaking out though because they are contributing those high numbers last year to the death of Whitney Houston. So I guess the big question is,
the Grammys this year or will you next year?
And speaking of the Grammys if you didn't know Justin Bieber got snubbed and wasn't nominated for a SINGLE ONE. He wasn't in attendance at all. The Black Keys, who won THREE Grammys this year are addressing it. Patrick Carney says the Biebs doesn't need a Grammy because he's RICH! OUCH!
It's funny how it's such a small world, even for celebrities. Jessica Simpson is ready to give Sharon Osbourne's closet a makeover! Jessica is set to buy Sharon Osbourne's old mansion with her fiancé Eric Johnson and has told her friends that Sharon Osbourne's huge walk-in closet will be turned in a baby nursery for Jessica Simpson's second child and has already met with designers! I wonder if they come over each other's places afterwards and just awkwardly hang out!
Taylor Swift wants to put an end to the rumors! In the latest issue of ELLE Magazine, Taylor Swift wants to put an end to all the misconceptions about her multiple relationships. Her favorite angle that magazines take, "I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me. They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys!' I never chase boys. They don't like it!'" Believe her? Hmm…
And as for her quote on quote feud with Carrie Underwood, not true either, and Carrie Underwood backs it up!
New movie alert! Jennifer Aniston has just signed on to She's Funny That Way, and who else is starring in the film? None other than Owen Wilson! The plot, Owen Wilson is a Broadway director who falls for a prostitute-turned-actress! How erm, Pretty Woman like? But relax, Jennifer Aniston isn't playing that role. Instead, she'll play the part of a therapist with an alcoholic mother. EVEN BETTER! I' m interested..
Face it, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids are already more wealthy then you will ever be your entire lifetime. So here's something to make us more sad. Four year old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt has already landed her first paying gig, and my sources are telling me that she will be making $3,000 a week! On top of all that, she also get a per diem of $60 a day! I'm going to pretend like that's not even real!
Uh oh! Katy Perry and Rihanna aren't best friends anymore! And you can blame the ruined relationship on Chris Brown! Ever since he re-entered Rihanna's life, Katy Perry has become impatient. Rihanna thinks Chris Brown deserves to be listened to and Katy Perry doesn't think he can change. Katy Perry's advice was completely ignored by Rihanna, so the two haven't spoken for months! Never let a man come between you!
It seems like Justin Timberlake is EVERYWHERE these days, from announcing a new album, to releasing his new single "Suit And Tie," and just giving us an amazing performance at the Grammys on Sunday and singing ANOTHER new song "Pusher Love Girl." Now he's released ANOTHER new single off his upcoming album, The 20/20 experience. It's called "Mirrors."
Lastly, could this really be happening? YES! There is a Backstreet Boys documentary that is in the works! The same production company that worked on Katy Perry's PART OF ME 3D is working on a biographical film that documents the Backstreet Boys' rise to fame, their eventual reunion and of course their latest work on their new album, all in time for the band's 20
anniversary! The Backstreet Boys are so excited about the documentary, saying that they have ALWAYS wanted to make a film and now is just the right time! BACKSTREET'S BACK!

WALTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Walton County deputies arrested a man who allegedly robbed a home in Walton County on Friday afternoon.
According to Walton County Sheriff's Office Chief Keith Brooks, Paul Slater of Gwinnett County tried to burglarize a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around noon, when deputies responded.
Slater forced entry into the home's front door, and soon found the homeowner in a room on the second floor. The homeowner shot the suspect with her handgun, then Slater fled in a vehicle and crashed while in the subdivision.
At that time, Brooks said the homeowner was together with her children, but he did not have further information on their ages.
Brooks said the suspect was hit by the gunfire, and was taken to Gwinnett Medical. His condition was unknown.

Last year was my first time organizing a skiing and tubing trip for our local cub scout troop. This trip was something new for our group and I had many reservations organizing an event of this size. Thankfully Shanty Creek's staff made sure that the event was one the boys will remember for a lifetime. It is all they talk about! We can't wait until our next trip.

The staff is top notch; they all do a great job, are friendly and very professional. They're always checking on things and making any requested adjustments. I love planning events at Shanty Creek; they always come off flawlessly. The facility upgrades are very noticeable and welcome!

We just returned from a two night stay at Cedar River and had the best time! Many of our friends said it was the best family vacation they had ever had. They even said it was better than Disney World! The accommodations were amazing! How great to be able to ski onto the slopes from your back door. The skiing was fantastic and we had a blast tubing!
Congratulations! We can't wait to see you again next year!

The courses were in perfect shape, the service was tremendous, and the food is very good at Shanty Creek! We never left the facility to go anywhere else the entire weekend. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the most excellent support and efforts from the entire staff at Shanty Creek. I was very happy with EVERYTHING!!! In fact, I have already signed a contract for our 24th annual event to be held at Shanty Creek Resorts!

Your staff was simply wonderful… When you're running an event as large as our conference, having staff like yours is truly a blessing. Additionally, I wanted to send out appreciation to your chef. I received many compliments on the dinner. This was truly one of our smoothest conferences ever, thanks in no small part to your staff's willingness to adapt to last minute changes.

Meeting rooms looked great and were set up exactly as we wanted. Staff in every area made sure we had what we needed to make our event a success. Whether it was adjustments to sound system needs, last minute coffee service or whatever, the staff was so friendly and accommodating it was almost unbelievable. The place looks great. The people were great. We were glad to be there.
Without hesitation I proclaim Shanty Creek: AWESOME! We have been blessed to have such a great experience and it was due to your attention to detail and flawless execution. Our guests couldn't stop fawning over the event, and SCR's staff. Congrats to one and all.

This is my favorite holiday of the year. The kids come home. The family is here. Like many other holidays, this one has outward trappings of history. On the matter of giving thanks, though, the arguments of fact melt away. We are thankful to be alive, we are thankful for friends and family, we are thankful for love and gratitude, and grace. We are thankful for this world.

Wolfgang Kapplusch is a solar cooker designer living in Heidelberg, Germany.
Recent news and developments
- July 2013: Wolfgang has been working on design prototypes for several solar cookers. His design for a pizza cooker incorporates an elongated solar box cooker approach. The slanted solar collection chamber in front has blackened stones added to retain the heat generated. With time the solar oven looks it can deliver consistent heat output with the added thermal mass.
- July 2013: Working with paper maché, he is working on a process for making fairly quick and inexpensive parabolic solar reflectors using cardboard for the curved formwork.
- June 2013: Wolfgang has created a miniature solar box cooker. He has shown that the technology is able to work at such a modest scale.

I am attempting to install Zimbra on a basic CentOS v4 virtual machine.
All of the FOUND required components show up during the script.
I get past the usual script and I get this:
This platform is CentOS4
Packages found: zimbra-core-4.5.6_GA_1023.RHEL4-20070628083144.i386.rpm
This may or may not work
After I proceed I get this:
zimbra-core-4.5.6_GA_1023.RHEL4-20070628083144.i386.rpm installation failed
Installation cancelled
I had Zimbra working before with RHEL v4. Can i just change the /etc/redhat-release file temporarily for the install, or is that not causing the problem?
Please Help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hey there,
I'm experiencing some issues with Zimbra where it will become very sluggish ( we're talking 30 seconds to load pages in some cases, at best 8-10 seconds to get some things going) and occasionally the web interface will stop responding alltogether. This is over DSL in most cases, but has also occured over a 100mbps ethernet connection as well.
cat /proc/meminfo shows that only ~ 140 megs of physical memory is available. The server is a 2.8ghz Pentium IV with 3gigs of ddr2 memory, sata150 hard disks in a raid array.
top shows that two processes , zimbra Java and Zimbra mysqld both have virtual memory images of over a gigabyte apiece. ( 1181megs for java and 1058 for mysqld )
I'm guessing that has something to do with the slugishness, but I'm still new enough to zimbra to not be sure of what I can do.
I'm open to suggestions.

ATLANTA -- Discovery Channel's Auction King appraiser Dr. Lori looked over some Olympic souvenirs our 11Alive staff had collected.
First, some of the official volunteer polo style shirts. "These shirts have been worn and washed. Once you have them in use, they're not worth as much - probably about $10," Dr. Lori said. She said a brand new volunteer shirt that was still in the original package could fetch $100.
RELATED | Is your pin collection Olympic gold?
Another olympic volunteer had a bag of brand new, unworn socks that were part of one of the athletes' uniforms. Still, the appraiser was unimpressed. "If it doesn't have the actual Olympic stamp on it, it's not worth as much because it's harder to prove," she said. "And the value on that's going to be nominal, probably under $10. So he might as well just wear them."
A brand new gymnastics warm up jacket that was given to volunteers as a gift was appraised at $125 to $200.
Dr. Lori said the best time to try to sell Olympic items is just before the London Games begin July 27th and during the games as well. She said many items will continue to appreciate, and they usually spike during any future Olympics.

Im thinking about buying the Oceanic Hera BC. I have a Scubapro Air2. Will the my Air2 fit on this BC?
No the only the Air XS by Oceanic will fit that BC. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/004571/Oceanic-Air-XS-II.html
What are the key differences between the Oceanic Hera BC and the Aqua Lung SeaQuest Pearl Womens BC? Thanks! Patrick
Hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs
Patented Custom Fit Harness with multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Hera delivers individual comfort for women of all sizes
QLR Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 9 kg plus dual 2,25 kg rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning. Weight pockets are loaded positioned at a slight downward angle to aid self-loading
Contoured in all the right places
Reinforced shoulders, padded back pack and an adjustable position sternum strap ensure comfort and stability
Pre-bent welded stainless steel d-rings
Integrated instrument retractor sleeve (retractor not included) and Spinner BC Knife mounting grommets
You Asked For It
More than 300 female divers, instructors and Oceanic Dealers participated in a detailed survey to help develop the ultimate women's-specific BC design. Time and time again, we heard what is lacking in today's BCs designed for women - you're looking for a BC designed to fit you; not a scaled down male BC. You're looking for a BC that's comfortable, contoured in all the right places, but one that doesn't sacrifice features or functionality. You want a BC that's travel-friendly, yet rugged enough and packing the lift capacity required for daily local diving. And finally, you're looking for something with a little style - preferably not just big swatches of pink or purple material. You ask for it - Oceanic delivers.
Patented Custom Fit Harness
Oceanic's patented Custom Fit Harness is standard equipment on the Hera. With multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Hera delivers individual comfort for women of all shapes and sizes.
Hybrid Bladder Design
The innovative design of the Hera allows the freedom of movement and other benefits you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wrap-around design of the air cell provides you more lift than most BC's; as well as an improved, upright orientation when the BC is inflated on the surface.
Patented QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System
Angled down slightly to aid self-loading, Oceanic's patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System keeps up to 20 lbs. of releasable weight in position and stabile throughout the dive. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release when you want to. Best of all, our patented positive-lock system helps to ensure that they'll stay put.
Rear Weight Pockets
Located on the back of the BC on either side of the cylinder band. Provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 10 non-dumpable pounds.
Fadeless 1000 Denier Cordura® Construction
Exterior abrasion points are covered in our new 'Fadeless' 1000-denier Cordura - tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that new look longer.
Optional Integrated Retractor / BC Knife System
Built-in retractor and Spinner BC Knife attachment points - perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials.
Reliant Integrated Inflator
Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Reliant Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents.
Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund
Oceanic's patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. Oceanic's cummerbund offers up to 8' of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size.
Padded Backpack and Additional Lumbar Support
Extra heavy duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack.

GLEN DALE - Seniors Haley Robb and Emily Puskarich combined for 61 points and Wheeling Park shot with deadly accuracy from the free-throw line in rolling past rival John Marshall, 79-59, as a big crowd looked on Thursday night.
Robb connected for five 3-pointers and was 11 of 12 at the foul line while racking up 32 points. Puskarich followed with 29 points, hitting two 3-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws in sparking the Patriots (9-5).
At the foul line, the torrid-shooting visitors cashed 30 of 36 attempts, including 13 of 15 during the opening half.

Wheeling Park's Haley Robb (10) shoots while being
guarded by John Marshall's Sis George (10) during their game Thursday night.
While the point production of Park's dynamic duo made things easy for the visitors, Coach Dee Davis was even more impressed with the unselfish play she saw from both standouts.
''Haley and Emily are looking for each other and passing the ball to each other very well," Davis said.
''I'm very pleased with the way everybody is beginning to play as a unit. They are seeing it, understanding it and they are starting to believe in what we are doing."
While the smiles were evident on the faces of the Park players leaving the locker room, John Marshall coach Mark McCormick was highly disappointed in what has turned out to be a difficult couple of days for his team.
The Monarchs entered the week with a sparkling 10-2 record but dropped back-to-back home games against West Virginia Class AAA ranked rivals Morgantown and Wheeling Park. The margin of Thursday night's defeat clearly upset the second-year head coach.
''You never want to lose to your rival like this," McCormick sighed. ''Coming into the game we knew we had a lot more size underneath than Park. Our game plan was to try and exploit that advantage but we just weren't patient enough on the offensive end."
The Monarchs wound up committing 26 turnovers, 17 in the opening half as the Patriots broke in front early and built a 39-24 advantage at the break.
Some of John Marshall's struggles taking care of the ball could be attributed to health problems of veteran point guard Kristen Lewicki. Hobbled by a knee injury, Lewicki returned to the lineup for the first time in nearly two weeks but did not have the movement she usually brings to the court.
''A healthy Kristen Lewicki is a lot different than the one who is hurt," McCormick said. ''The turnovers and not being patient enough to get the ball inside really hurt us."
John Marshall talented front-courters, senior Kyle Howard and freshman Tori Derrow, did their best to try and keep the Monarchs in the game. Howard scored 27 points and collected eight rebounds while Derrow contributed 13 points and was the game's leading rebounder with 14. Emily Winters also did a nice job inside for John Marshall while scoring 11 points and adding six rebounds.
Park never trailed, jumping in front 3-0 when Robb dropped a three-pointer through the cords less than a minute into the game. Howard countered with a transition layup but the Patriots then went on a 12-2 run to take command.
