Seven Psychopaths Will Steal Its Way On To Blu-ray In January
Despite a splendid cast, a wild premise, and a relatively low budget, Seven Psychopaths didnt make a large impression at the box office during its theatrical run, pulling in a little under $15 million. If you missed it in theaters, youll be able to catch the twisted comedy when it hits Blu-ray and DVD on January 29.

Seven Psychopaths Director Martin McDonagh Talks Rabbits And Walken, Reflects On In Bruges
After winning an Academy Award for his short film Six Shooter, playwright Martin McDonagh made his move to the world of features with the movie In Bruges. While the title failed to get any real traction domestically at the time of its theatrical release, it garnered a great deal of critical praise, earned a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award nomination, won Colin Farrell a Golden Globe and has since taken on a cult following.

Mickey Rourke Gets Killed In Seven Psychopaths, And Here's How
Those who have been following the film's development through production may remember a time last year when the project hit a speed bump in the casting department. It had initially been reported that Mickey Rourke had signed on to play the movie's antagonist, a dog-loving, violent gangster named Charlie Costello, but that story fell apart in November when Rourke had a few choice words for McDonagh. "The director was a jerkoff," Rourke said when asked about the project.

Red Band Seven Psychopaths Trailer Has Farrell, Rockwell And Walken Stealing A Dog
Martin McDonagh's In Bruges is not what you would call a "child-friendly movie" - in fact, the entire story begins because one of the main characters shoots a young boy in the face. It has plenty of drugs, sex, cursing, violence, nudity and bad people doing bad things to other bad people, and McDonagh's next film, Seven Psychopaths, doesn't look like its going to be a movie for the kiddies either.

All Seven Character Posters For Seven Psychopaths
Beyond being a pretty excellent title that evokes a sense of grand storytelling and frenzy, the name promised at least seven new additions to McDonagh's catalogue of often violent but always humorous characters. And with CBS Film's release of individual character posters, you don't need to wait for the film to hit theaters to get to know these psychos.

First Look At Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell And More In Seven Psychopaths
Farrell is the central character of the film, a screenwriter working on a script called Seven Psychopaths-- it's no coincidence that he, like the writer-director, is also named Martin-- and trying to find the personalities to flesh out the story. That becomes less of a problem when he gets wrapped up in Rockwell's scheme to kidnap the dogs belonging to rich people

Woody Harrelson Taking Mickey Rourke's Place In Seven Psychopaths
Even though it was his directorial debut, Martin McDonagh managed to assemble one hell of a cast for when he made In Bruges. Bringing together Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes, the movie was not only brilliantly written, but featured some outstanding performances. But McDonagh is planning to go even bigger for his sophomore effort, Seven Psychopaths.

Mickey Rourke Won't Be Back For Expendables 2
For one Expendables cast member, that title has proved all too accurate when it comes to the sequel. Mickey Rourke, who played an old friend and former teammate of Sylvester Stallone's Barney Ross in the 2010 action hit, will not be returning for the 2012 sequel.

In Bruges Director's Follow-Up, Seven Psychopaths, May Land At CBS Films
This story makes me 40 different varieties of happy. In Bruges proved that McDonagh knows how to make a pitch-perfect dark comedy and this film seems perfectly in line with that. It's a shame that it seems as though Brendan Gleeson won't be returning, but it's really hard to complain about the cast that has been assembled here.

The bass player, who performed the "Star Spangled Banner" before Oakland Raiders' home game against the San Diego Chargers last year, will belt out the tune again at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
He says, "I'm excited to be touching down in London to sing our U.S. National Anthem at the Vikings-Steelers game. I always love playing a role in these types of high-action, fast-paced games, not to mention returning to the U.K. and performing in front of some the best fans in the world!"

Our Winter Outlook 2013 - 2014 (December - February)
We try to hang our hats on something when predicting our winter. Sometimes we have an El Nino winter. The winter of 2009 - 2010 was an El Nino winter. El Nino refers to the warming of the equatorial Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America. Fishing is bad so the fishermen go home and spend time with their families and mend their nets and repair their boats. If you like anchovies they will cost you more in a El Nino winter.
La Nina refers to the cooling of the equatorial waters off the coast of South America. If you are a snow lover, like I am, those are frustrating winter. Generally speaking La Nina winters are colder and drier than average and we usually end up with below average snowfall. Are there exceptions ? Yes, the winters of 1960 - 1961 and 1978 - 1979 we had 40.3" and 37.7" of snow respectively.
Well, this winter there will not be a El Nino or La Nina. It looks like a La Nada winter this year. These winters are very difficult to predict. I think temperatures from December through February, meteorological winter, will be at or a little below average and I think we will see average or a bit above average snowfall. Average snowfall Downtown is around 15" and nearly 22" at Dulles and for the northern and western suburbs. My prediction for the first snowfall will be December 7th for an inch of snow or more officially at National.
I think it's safe to say that we'll have less snow than the record setting winter of 2009 - 2010 when we set records for all time seasonal snowfall. National recorded 56.1" of snow. That's the snowiest winter in recorded history. Downtown records go back over one hundred twenty years. Dulles also set an all time record with 73.2" of snow. Baltimore received a record 77" of snow. Now that was a winter to remember.

Giuliana & Bill: Baby On The Brain
January 04, 2010 05:39 AM by Jennifer
On the season premiere of Giuliana & Bill on the Style Network, Giuliana & Bill Rancic are contemplating starting a family in the midst of their very busy and hectic schedules. Giuliana takes a pregnancy test and hides the result until she and Bill are looking at it together. Upon revealing a negative result, Giuliana is clearly disappointed that they have not conceived yet. To add insult to injury, they look at the new condo they moved to in Santa Monica and realize how much stuff they have as well as stuff to unpack when Giuliana finds albums of childhood pictures of herself, bringing up the baby issue once again.
Giuliana & Bill continue to discuss how their upcoming busy schedules are going to affect their plans to have a baby. Bill is considering taking on a tour of speaking engagements, which makes Giuliana point out that he actually needs to be there with her in order to conceive a baby. On another career note, Giuliana is preparing for the upcoming Emmy Awards when one of her coworkers brings his son, Hunter, to work with him.  Giuliana volunteers to babysit him the night before the Emmy's so they can get some experience taking care of a child and to see if they are cut out for the task.  After babysitting Hunter, Giuliana & Bill Rancic are clearly exhausted, and Giuliana has not prepared for the awards show.  Giuliana does the awards show, and after she ends up discussing with Bill how they seemed to balance their careers and taking care of a child at the same time, and the two decide that it is time to start trying to conceive.
When they were first married, Bill Rancic promised his wife that their life would always be an adventure. Now they are ready to let their newest adventure begin!!
Tune in next Sunday at 9 PM EST for the next exciting episode of Giuliana-Bill on The Style Network!!

Good Friday Worship to Call for a White House Summit on Violence
Bethel A.M.E Church in partnership with the Social Justice and Community Outreach Ministry of Hemmingway Temple AME Church will host the "Jesus Died So That We Wouldn't Have To: Stop the Violence" 7 Last Words Service.
The service will be preempted by a press conference calling for a White House National Summit on Gun and Gang Violence. Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and young ministers from Baltimore and Prince George's County will stand in solidarity with children from Baltimore's most violent and gang infiltrated neighborhoods to demand President Obama's attention to this issue.
The "Jesus Died So That We Wouldn't Have To: Stop the Violence" service is designed to bring national attention to how gun control laws are affecting America's youth.
Instead of just recounting Christ's story on the cross, we wanted to pair it with an issue that Christ stood against –violence, said Dr. Frank M. Reid III, senior pastor of Bethel.
Minister FranShon Reid, Bethel's minister to youth, is a co-convener for the event.
"We need more faces calling for action that look like the young people terrified to leave their homes," Minister Reid said. "We can't leave the decision-making up to individuals who haven't experienced our fear or lived out our stories."
The service begins 7 p.m., March 29 at Bethel A.M.E Church, Owings Mills, 10989 Red Run Boulevard.
Senior pastors are Dr. Reid, Bethel AME and Dr. Michael O. Thomas, Hemmingway Temple AME.
Co-convenors are Minister Reid and Minister Melech Thomas, Hemmingway Temple AME.

text: The son of Turing's mentor on beating the codebreaker at Monopoly Technology 21 June 12 by Chris Owen The Rutherford Journal This is a guest post by Chris Owen who works at Octopus Communications and is a passionate supporter of the Bletchley Park Trust. He can be found tweeting from @wonky_donkyMax Newman is the man credited as being Alan Turing's mentor at Bletchley and later at Manchester University. Newman's son William recalls a childhood where he got to play and beat Turing at Monopoly and observe the mathematics luminaries working together at the inception of computer scienceVisit the Bletchley Park museum and you will see an unrivalled collection of Alan Turing's seminal works on computational theory -- the foundations upon which the computer age was born. Look closely at them however, and you will see a multitude of light pencil annotations in the margin -- comments and corrections on the theories he was expounding, all of which come from one man, Turing's mentor, Max Newman.Newman, quite simply, was one of Britain's finest ever mathematicians and instrumental both in the Allied victory in World War II (through his work at Bletchley Park decrypting German messages), and in the development of the theories that underpin computing, as well as the development of the first computational machines.Critically, he was also one of Turing's closest friends throughout his life. Indeed, when Newman was awarded an OBE in 1947, he turned down the accolade as he was so angered by the treatment Turing had received during the War, and the lack of recognition (despite an OBE) of his supreme contribution to the Allied victory.Wired.co.uk spoke with Max's son, William (a highly esteemed computer scientist and author himself), about Newman and his contribution to the computer age, the Second World War, and about his friendship with Turing.It's important to note that Newman's work around the theories of computing began well before the War and his work at Bletchley, where he helped develop what is regarded as the first computational machine. Indeed, as William Newman says, "in his dissertation [at Cambridge] he was already writing about the use of 'symbolic machines' in making physics predictions, and thus turning his mind towards the roles of machines in mathematics"It was whilst at Cambridge that Newman's and a young Alan Turing's paths first crossed, with the latter being one of the many post-graduates Max was helping through his foundation courses, including one in the spring of 1935 on Godel's Theorem and other provability conundrums.William Newman picks the story up: "At one point he posed his class a question: could the provability of mathematical statements be discovered by a mechanical process? This question lodged in Alan's mind, and gradually he developed the paper that was to make his reputation in the mathematical world, and later in computer science: On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem."Turing's shyness kept him from sharing On Computable Numbers until a draft was ready in 1936 when he showed it to Max, who upon first sight of it realised its ground-breaking importance. This moment is recognised as that when Turing became Newman's protégé.The year after saw Max move briefly to Princeton for work (Turing later also moved Stateside for his own career), where he worked on his "pet problem", namely the Poincaré Conjecture, a topological theorem which had resisted all attempts to crack it for the previous thirty years. Having initially thought he had beaten the Conjecture, and proudly awaiting joining other Cambridge mathematical immortals, he found a fatal flaw in his proof and despite being awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1939, considered his work on the theorem a failure.Upheaval was to follow with the outbreak of the Second World War which meant the Newman family, of part-Jewish descent, had to seek refuge in America, leaving Max alone in England to continue his teaching and research.It was in 1942 that Max began to consider war work seriously, and after putting out feelers with Naval Intelligence he was approached by F E Adcock, himself a code breaker in the First World War, who wrote: "Dear Newman, There is some work going at a government institution which would I think interest you and which is certainly important for the War…".Newman clearly wrote back showing interest, as he was then contacted by Nigel De Grey, the renowned cryptographer who had broken the legendary Zimmerman Telegram in 1917 (which ultimately brought the USA into the Great War, and set the path for the Allied victory). In July that year, Max was formally confirmed for work at Bletchley Park, having been assured his part-German ancestry was not an obstacle.The news that Newman was going Bletchley brought about an internal tussle for his mathematical prowess, with the teams behind Enigma decryption and those working on "Tunny" (the Lorenz) both bidding for him to join them.It was the latter team, led by Colonel Tiltman (and which included Alan Turing), which won out, and gained his insight into machine-led decryption. William comments, "his work involved decrypting messages by the existing slow hand methods, which were somewhat akin to solving crossword puzzles. Max found the company congenial, but the work frustrated him at times and left him feeling ineffectual".It was at this point that Newman first thought of how to mechanise the process of decryption using high-speed computers. Newman was convinced much of the visualisation work being done in the Testery was possible mechanically -- being an expert in Boolean logic (as was Turing), he and his team set about creating a machine which could undertake the comparison and analysis of ciphers.His initial proposal seemed, in Williams words, "hopelessly ambitious" to others at the Park, but he won them round, and in December 1942 he was put in charge of developing an experimental machine -- later dubbed the "Heath Robinson" after the British artist who drew fantastical machines. The team driving these developments was set up in what became known as "The Newmanry".From the start this was a congenial, entertaining and familial place to work, with Newman bringing his collegiate atmosphere to the Hut he was based in. Much of this was down to the fact that Max was learning along with his team; William explains: "For my father, the intellectual challenge was as great as for the more junior cryptanalysts, for they were all groping their way into the domain of research that became known years later as computer science. They were learning, as future computer scientists did, how to solve problems through a combination of analysis and practical experiments". The machines were fundamental in shortening the time it took to crack the German codes, which was critical to the Allied war effort -- if we could predict the Axis attacks, we could mitigate the damage caused.

Kenya: Ballot count begins; charge levied at UK
NAIROBI, Kenya Election officials in Kenya transported their ballot counts to be tallied in the capital Wednesday after the preliminary electronic vote counting system broke down, while the coalition of a top presidential candidate levied charges of meddling against Britain's high commissioner.
The coalition of Deputy Prime Minster Uhuru Kenyatta - the candidate that faces charges at the International Criminal Court and is the son of Kenya's founding president - accused the British high commissioner of "shadowy, suspicious and rather animated involvement" in efforts to get the election commission to decide that rejected ballots should still be counted in the overall vote total.
Kenyatta's party also asked the high commissioner, Christian Turner, to explain what it called "the sudden upsurge of British military personnel" in Kenya. British troops attend a six-week training course near Mount Kenya before deploying to Afghanistan. A new battle group arrived the week before Kenyans voted.
Britain's Foreign Office said claims of British interference "are entirely false and misleading." The British soldiers in Kenya are part of a regular training program planned nine months ago "completely unrelated to the Kenyan elections." It said Britain has no position on the rejected votes, saying that the election commission or the courts should decide.
"We have always said that this election is a choice for Kenyans alone to decide," the Foreign Office said, adding: "We urge all sides to ensure calm, avoid inflammatory statements, and to take any disputes to the courts."
Kenyans on Monday held their first presidential vote since the nation's disputed election in 2007 spawned violence that killed more than 1,000 people. Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Kenyatta are the top two contenders.
Kenyans were growing increasingly frustrated that the announcements of public vote tallies ceased close to 48 hours after polls closed. The breakdown of the electronic vote system has meant less than half of preliminary results were released. Officials - who have been working to ensure violence doesn't break out this election - are calling for patience.
"The delay is giving rise to conspiracy theories. People are panicking about the delay in the results of the elections. But unlike last election there is a level of restraint," said Kevin Muriunge, a 25-year-old student.
Referring to long voting lines during Monday's vote, Alojz Peterle, a former president of Slovenia and the chief observer in the European Union observer mission, said that Kenyans have demonstrated they are capable of great patience.
"But even more patience is called for now," he said.
The election commission chairman announced late Tuesday that hundreds of thousands of ballots that were rejected for not following the rules would be counted in the overall vote total. That makes it very difficult, given the tight race, for either top candidate to reach the 50 percent mark needed to win outright.
Election observers from around the world said Wednesday that Kenya carried out a credible election Monday, but the groups reserved final judgments until the election process is completed. Some observers said it appeared a runoff between Odinga and Kenyatta is likely.
The partial preliminary results on Tuesday had shown an early lead for Kenyatta. Odinga's camp told supporters that the votes from his strongholds had not yet all been tallied.
The statement from Kenyatta's coalition Wednesday implied that the British high commissioner pressured the commission to make the decision on the spoiled ballots, thus ensuring a runoff.
John Stremlau, an election observer with The Carter Center, the body run by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, said that it might be better for Kenyatta's coalition to use "foreign powers" as a whipping post than attacking Kenyans.

Hi everybody,
I just upgraded to version 7.2, and my zimlets posixaccount and zimbra do not work.
I had to desactivate them in order to be able to login into the admin interface.
I have read in release notes that these zimlets will be removed from "standard" zimbra, and will be on gallery.zimbra.com
But I cannot find them neither in gallery.zimbra.com, nor in /opt/zimbra/zimlet-extra
And the zimlets I had for version 7.1.4 do not work any more.
Could anybody help me to find and install again these zimlets?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,

House Passes Defense Funding
President threatens to veto $638 billion allocation measure
June 15, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House overwhelmingly passed a sweeping, $638 billion defense bill on Friday that imposes new punishments on members of the armed services found guilty of rape or sexual assault......
pull our troops home. stop standing up for other countries. protect America and work only for America. we would be number one again. other nations would be begging us for their imports and we could write the rules.

As long as we continue funding and arming groups like the "Syrian rebels", who have pledged their loyalty to Al-Qaeda, I can't in good conscience support this rubber-stamping of Defense funding. Defend America. We are not the world's police!!!!!!1

So there is a major hurdle in ending funding problems, but will Obama veto this, or will the libeals in the Senate do that. Until we agree to keep funding Obama's Middle Eastern war machines he is going to try to starve us. We need to just quit fooling around with him. He is no longer concerned who likes him, he is in office for his last term. So he will keep sending billions to Islamic rebels while our bridges fall in, our businesses close and one in six American children goes to bed hungry each night. The IRS misuse of power is more than enough to impeach him, we need to just get that over with before he sells the country out completely. Obama has sent nearly $3 billion dollars in "aid" (that means guns and stuff) to Islamic warriors in the ME since April. And yet...can't say it enough, 1 in 6 chlidren are hungry in America. And he shows more concern for the terrorists at Gitmo than he does for the American people.

"These deliveries highlight the broad regional implications of the proxy war Washington has waged against the Assad regime, relying primarily on Islamist forces tied to Al Qaeda, and the risk of a US war in Syria escalating into a regional or even global conflict."
I thought "Al Qaeda" was the US enemy? So we are giving them support against the Syrian Goberment....SHEEPLE can't connect the dots!

"Ignoring a White House veto threat, the Republican-led House voted 315-108 for the legislation, which would block President Barack Obama from closing the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,"
So Obama wants to close Guantanamo Bay but the GOP controlled House won't let him..... GUESS THIS ANSWERS THE QUESTION that we see so many TINFOIL HAT WEARERS posting all the time.

I am playing with ZCS 8 multiserver installation, and found to be confused with admin GUI settings (Chrome).
Are data displayed/set in Admin GUI kind of template (getting data from some pre-configured values or template), or it should represent actual settings?
Some findings
Global settings > MTA > MTA Trusted Networks
Initial value displays empty field, but postconf command displays initial settings:
If I change this via Admin GUI, restart whole zimbra stack, restart browser (to get rid of cache), still MTA Trusted Networks remain empty in Admin GUI, and postconf gives the same data as above.Code:$ postconf mynetworks mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.10.0/24 +{some ipv6 stuff}
Global settings > Proxy > Web Proxy Configuration
According to initial configuration via CLI, I've set Web proxy mode to https, but still Admin GUI preselects http mode, and displays Enable web proxy as unchecked, despite Enabled mode.
Particular settings
I try to implement several Zimbra MTAs in a stack. In ZCS, there are two main settings - Web mail MTA Hostnames (used for mailbox servers to send out mail, composed from Web Client) and Relay MTA for external delivery (mostly used, if you use ISPs or other SMTP servers to route mail outside ZCS user accounts and domains). No actual issues regarding Web mail MTA hostnames, but I initially configured Relay MTA for external delivery, and actually can not understand, whether this setting is compulsory for outside mail routing. I think not, as if mail is composed via Web Client UI, it get's delivered to any of Web mail MTA Hostnames, which are ZCS servers and are able to send mail outside ZCS to other servers.
If both Web mail MTA and Relay MTA are set (different ZCS MTA servers), then mail composed via Web Client gets routed to Web mail MTA (that's correct), and after Web mail MTA reroutes mail to Relay MTA (which would be ok, if it'd be external solution). And again, in this case, modifications made in Admin GUI does not take effect.
This leads to main question - is and in what cases Admin gui is usable at all for main server configuration? It seems, that there is no effect on server settings (user account settings work OK) via Admin GUI. Only CLI and Zimbra commands actually change things in servers. Do you have any other findings on this?

ASTM Technical Journals
Peer-Reviewed Papers Assist Researchers and Readers
Whether a paper addresses epoxy resin or self-consolidating concrete, unsaturated soils or ballistics, it can find an outlet in one of ASTM International's four technical journals; the journals detail original research and work in testing and evaluation, materials performance, and geotechnical and civil engineering.
The ASTM journals range from the well-established Journal of Testing and Evaluation and Geotechnical Testing Journal to the newer Advances in Civil Engineering Materials and Materials Performance and Characterization. The Journal of Testing and Evaluation began publishing in 1973 and Geotechnical Testing Journal first circulated in 1978, both Advances in Civil Engineering Materials and Materials Performance and Characterization debuted in 2012.
"One of the things that makes ASTM journals unique and tremendously valuable is the fact that there is a very real synergy between the journals, which define the state-of-the-art, and the ASTM testing standards, which define the state-of-practice," says William J. Likos, Ph.D., associate professor of geological engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who also works on ASTM Committee D18 on Soil and Rock, and serves as co-editor for the Geotechnical Testing Journal.
The journals contain peer-reviewed technical papers, appear in scientific journal indexes and, as indicated by increases in frequency and number, provide a useful resource for both authors and readers.
It Starts with Peer Review
Peer review sets ASTM International technical journals apart from many other publications and editorial processes; their editors agree that it is essential to paper quality and critical to the process.
"Peer-reviewed journal articles are considered the principal forum for disseminating new fundamental knowledge in science and engineering," says Richard W. Neu, Ph.D., co-editor of Materials Performance and Characterization and professor of mechanical engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, who is a member at large on the executive subcommittee of Committee E08 on Fatigue and Fracture.
"As a user of papers, I pay little attention to papers in journals that aren't peer reviewed," says Leslie Struble, Ph.D., editor in chief of Advances in Civil Engineering Materials, professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and a long-time member of ASTM Committees C01 on Cement and C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates. "I want peer review as a reader of papers, a writer of papers and an editor of papers."
For the ASTM journals, peer review occurs in a single blind process, one in which the author does not know who reviews the paper. Each paper has at least two reviews, and sometimes three, as well as reviews by journal editors and the technical editor. The process culls suitable from unsuitable papers, and it assists authors in improving articles both technically and editorially.
Indexes Help in Locating Papers
Listings in such services as the Science Citation Index (for Journal of Testing and Evaluation and Geotechnical Testing Journal), COMPENDEX, SCOPUS, Chemical Abstracts and more provide an added bonus both for authors and readers. The indexes afford certain advantages: listings help readers and other researchers find papers on specific topics of interest, help potential authors locate information related to work they have done or may consider doing and aid researchers, administrators, faculty and students.
It typically takes more than a Google search, according to Struble, to find scholarly information. And the libraries and library consortia worldwide that subscribe to indexes and to ASTM International's Standards and Engineering Digital Library assist in locating ASTM technical papers on a wide variety of technical subjects. Materials Performance and Characterization and Advances in Civil Engineering Materials, new to the field, are being picked up by indexers as well.
Journal Editors and Editorial Boards
Once a paper has been submitted for publication, the editorial process starts with the journal editors, a group with experience and knowledge in technical areas and in related ASTM standards development committees.
The technical editors have built global editorial boards that in turn tap into a global network of reviewers. The editorial board members assign manuscript submissions for review; these individuals hold positions in academia, government laboratories and industry around the world.
The editorial board of the Journal of Testing and Evaluation includes more than 50 members; Geotechnical Testing Journal has close to 40; Materials Performance and Characterization has 30, and Advances in Civil Engineering Materials, 18.
"We look to the leaders in their field," says Neu. "We seek editorial board members who are well versed in their field and are active in publishing papers and can readily target relevant reviewers to ensure the articles that we publish are relevant and clear to the readers."
ASTM editorial board members ensure technical and editorial quality; they also help promote the journal and solicit papers. "Also, editorial board members generally know individuals within their respective disciplines who are willing and well-qualified to provide in-depth reviews of submitted papers. That's a real plus," says M.R. Mitchell, Ph.D., president of Mechanics and Materials Consulting, Flagstaff, Ariz., and a veteran ASTM International member, who is editor in chief of the Journal of Testing and Evaluation.
"I believe we represent the research and scientific communities worldwide and have an international group who know and understand the nature and tone of the research and engineering occurring in their countries," Mitchell adds.
Paper Submission and First Look
Prospective and returning authors can find manuscript submission and assistance for all ASTM International journals online. The main page gives an overview of each journal and includes links for each.
An "Online Paper Submittal" link for each journal takes authors to the paper submission site, which uses ScholarOne, an online peer review system, and author instructions, a copyright agreement and user tutorials as well as a sample manuscript and an ASTM paper style manual.
Guides and tutorials for authors, administrators, editors and reviewers can also be found at the online training link along with frequently asked questions and a place to submit questions.
Another link, "First Look Papers," gives readers and researchers early access to peer reviewed and accepted articles before they are published. The abstracts can be viewed and the papers purchased in this section. Once an article has been published in an issue, the first look version is removed and the paper appears in the journal issue.
New Papers and Journal Archives
Interested users and authors can keep up with all new papers for the journals through subscribing to an RSS feed or Tracker email alerts. The RSS feed (an internet bookmark) includes a list of the newest paper titles and their posting dates. The journals paper Tracker, which can be customized for one or more journals, will result in a free monthly emailed list of newly published papers.
In addition, journal issues are archived online at the journal's "Issues" link, and archives of past journals are also available, including Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, Journal of ASTM International, Journal of Composites Technology and Research, and Journal of Forensic Sciences.
To learn more, check the journals out online, or contact Kathy Dernoga, ASTM managing editor, books and journals (phone: 610-832-9617).
The ASTM International Journals: An Overview
A check of recent Journal of Testing and Evaluation contents reveals articles on asphalt performance, airfield pavements and batch inspection, among others. A multi-disciplinary forum for applied sciences and engineering, JOTE presents both field and laboratory testing details about the performance, characterization and evaluation of materials. "JOTE occupies an unusual niche in that it's testing and evaluation and analysis," says JOTE's editor in chief, M.R. Mitchell, Ph.D., president of Mechanics and Materials Consulting, Flagstaff, Ariz. That means that entire fatigue test data sets might appear, or financial statistics, which might not be printed in another outlet, as well as papers on structural or materials analysis; ballistics and fire arms; and hardness, impact and tensile testing, among others.
Advances in Civil Engineering Materials appears online in one continuous annual issue. A journal that covers material processing, structure, properties and performance, ACEM typically looks at concrete and asphalt, steel and wood, polymers and composites, and it owes part of its scope to a former ASTM publication. "There had been a journal, Cement and Concrete Aggregates, many years ago, and the standards community in cement and concrete was supportive of a new ASTM journal in this area; ACEM is a place to find research papers related to standards," says Leslie J. Struble, Ph.D., ACEM editor in chief and professor emeritus, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Ill. ACEM is a journal for research papers related to standards for properties and performance of civil engineering materials.
"Geotechnical Testing Journal is very much for both researchers and practitioners," says William J. Likos, Ph.D., associate professor of geological engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and GTJ co-editor. The journal is also intended to encourage participation in Committee D18 on Soil and Rock. Likos says, "Our goal is to publish papers that have direct relevance to ongoing soil and rock testing activities in our community." The journal helps keep professionals on top of new developments, and it serves as a forum for information exchange in emerging areas of geotechnical engineering, such as unsaturated soil mechanics and soil thermal behavior testing, in its papers. Reflecting the increased number of papers submitted is GTJ's publication of six issues per year now instead of four.
Materials Performance and Characterization has a scope of materials processing, structure, properties and performance in engineering systems. MPC papers address both theoretical and practical aspects of the processing, structure, properties and performance of materials for mechanical systems, transportation, aerospace, energy and medical devices. "With the ties to ASTM International, I see MPC as a leading forum to discuss new ideas that eventually will lead to standardization that supports industry," says Richard W. Neu, Ph.D., MPC co-editor, and professor of mechanical engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. This year, MPC features special issues on thermal process modeling, simulation and optimization; high temperature fatigue; fracture toughness; and advances in fatigue and fracture mechanics.

Woman arrives home to find driveway missing
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 1:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 1:59 p.m.
REDDICK – Sheriff's detectives hope the public can help them find approximately 300-square-feet of brick pavers stolen from a driveway Tuesday.
The victim told Deputy Michelle Wright that she left her home in the 4500 block of Northwest 120th Street around 7:30 a.m. When she arrived home at 6 p.m. and drove onto the driveway, she felt a large "bump." She said she got out of her vehicle and noticed that the concrete pavers used to make the driveway were missing.
A witness told the deputy about seeing two men digging up the pavers, but said the activity didn't seem suspicious because the victim had workers constructing a barn on the property.
The men are described as a tall, heavyset black male in his 30s and a white male of small build who stood roughly 5-feet 3-inches tall. They were driving an older model black pickup hauling a flat-bed utility trailer.
Anyone with information can call Detective Gregory Spates at 402-6092 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is making clear what everyone in Washington suspects - a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff before Christmas is unlikely.
Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday that lawmakers will be back the Thursday after Christmas - Dec. 27.
The House is moving ahead with votes Thursday on a GOP plan to raise taxes on people earning over $1 million a year. Reid says that's a non-starter in the Senate, and the White House has threatened a veto.
Negotiations between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner so far have produced no deal to avoid the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that kick in after the first of the year.

Ministry Reflection Group Resources
Theological Field Education (TFE) at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary depends upon volunteer ministry reflection groups (MRG) that provides feedback on ministry skills and performance as well as issues of character and personhood to our students. The MRG is a team created in a ministry setting by the student to work with him/her during the ministry practicum. The persons receiving or observing the ministry are significant persons from whom the minister can get feedback. We are gratefully indebted to these men and women, who meet with a student at least three times during each semester of TFE.
Guidelines for choosing members to serve on the MRG:
The student will enlist four to five members, schedule all bi-monthly MRG meetings, provide MRG training for the group, and enlist one member to be the MRG Recorder.
The MRG Recorder will complete the five bi-monthly reports.
The MRG Recorder and will normally be the MRG representative at the 270 Feedback session during the Dec-Jan break and at the Evaluation Conference at the conclusion of the course.
Members should represent as many adult age groups within the ministry setting as possible.
Members should be ministry recipients (those the student leads or teaches) and/or ministry partners (those the student ministers alongside). It is preferred that ministry partners not be persons on the church staff.
The MRG should include at least one man and one woman.
The MRG should include at least one person that serves as a leader in the ministry setting.
If available, one member should be a supervisor in their vocation.
Students should not enlist admirers and/or supporters. Likewise, students should not enlist their greatest critic to win them over. Instead, enlist persons that will give direct, honest feedback.
The MRG members may not include:
Members of the student's family (including extended family)
GGBTS professors
Other GGBTS students
Responsibilities of the MRG:
Students will meet with their MRG for one hour during bi-monthly meetings each semester.
The MRG session MUST have at least three members present or the meeting must be rescheduled.
Less than three MRG members present – NO MEETING.
Student bear the responsibility for each action and decision made, even if that action or decision results from discussion with the MRG.
Give the MRG permission to give you constructive criticism.
Each MRG meeting will provide approximately ten minutes with the student out of the room, which allows the group to discuss the student and ministry in private.
The student and the MRG must be sensitive and careful about confidences. The student should not present any material to the MRG that would violate a confidence. The MRG should demonstrate maturity and not discuss the consultation session and agenda outside the MRG meetings. All proceedings (information, discussion, comments, and completed evaluation forms) of the Ministry Reflection Group are to remain confidential.
The MRG will be represented during the 270 Feedback session during the Dec-Jan break.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Love them
The reviews were very helpful, im normally size 0 or 2, and I ordered this in 4, and it fits great with my skinny legs. The cut is straight. Fabric is very comfortable and breathable. Gravel color is greener actually.
sizing WAY OFF
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
These pants are probably fine if you can find the right size. I'm 5'11" 130 and usually wear size 2L in regular jeans. Based on the reviews by other customers I ordered these in a size up -- 4L. OMG I could barely get them over my hips and couldn't even begin to zip them. I'd probably have to get an 8L to fit, but I'm not going to try. Just going to return outright.
Good features if you can guess your size
SIZE AND CUT QUESTIONS: Columbia's size chart is XS-XXL... and yet the pants use numeric sizes. Columbia sells the Silver Ridge in "straight" (with a flap pocket on the thigh) and "full" leg (zip pocket on thigh). Stores frequently mis-label them.
FIT: My measurements: 5'7", 150lbs, waist 30", hip 39", inseam 32". I ordered 8R, 8L, 10R, 10L. The regulars have a measured inseam of 31.8". The long is 33.5". The waist has a very nice adjustment system of hidden elastic/buttons. The hips and legs of these pants are cut smaller than expected. The 10's pull across my hips. The legs are snug and the location of the zip-off zipper makes them feel constricting there, but not terrible.
FEATURES: If you can find the right size, these pants are very lightweight and seem nicely constructed. They have mesh-lined, front pockets that are too shallow to use for anything valuable, put wallets and phones in a velcro cargo pocket on the thigh, a zipped back pocket, or a velcro back pocket. The leg cuff opening is very short. You could unzip the legs and pull them over hiking shoes, but I think you'd need to remove hiking boots. They have a nice hidden drawcord in the cuff if you want to snug them around your ankles. The pants unzip easily with a nice flap that hides the zipper, and one underneath to protect your leg from the zipper. The inseam of the shorts makes a long, protective short that hits about 2" above my knee. I personally find the length unflattering and slightly constricting as I move. I wish the zip-off zipper was higher so the shorts were 2-4" shorter.
With all that said... I'll try ordering the 12R because I've tried all the other brands and models of lightweight convertible hiking pants and these and the Mtn Hardwear Ramesa's (I wear 8R in those - look for my review) are the best options for me.
I had tried a pair where I live which have the same "name" and same picture but the ones I got are a different type and run a little bit smaller than the pair I tried, especially in the thigh area.
But comfortable anyway for what I want them.
Nice, made for skinny-legged girls
Love the pants but the fit isn't great for me. I bought size 8 and have waist 28, hip 37. Inseam and overall fit is ok but waist is too big even when I use the internal resize band at the back of the waist, and the thighs are too tight for this big-legged girl. If you've got muscular thighs you'll like Patagonia's Solimar pants better.
What is the actual rise on these for a...
What is the actual rise on these for a size 8, measuring from inseam of crotch to the top of the waistband?
Is the waist stretchy too? That's important...
Is the waist stretchy too? That's important to me. Thank you!
Cissy B.
Sissy, I bought these pants from Dick's sporting goods in a size 8. I've never worn a size 8. Normally I'm around a 4-6. They do run small. I'm 5'7" and weigh 135. I love, love, love these pants! I wouldn't say the waist band has a lot of stretch, but it gives a little. It doesn't cut my waist like a lot of them do and they look feminine. The waist of the pants sit right at the bottom of my belly button where I measure 34 1/2". My hips are about 36 1/2". These pants fit perfectly and comfortably. There is still room for a couple more inches of hips, however, even though I don't fill that area completely, the hip area still lays very nicely. Dick's didn't have any other colors to choose from and the pants they had online were still $60 and had "full legs" vs "straight legs." That is why I'm ordering them from this site.

Installing A New Vinyl Top - Vinyl Top Re-BopWritten by on December 1, 2002 Install A New Roof Skin In Your Driveway
Though rarely seen on new cars today, in the musclecar era, vinyl tops were a popular option. By the mid-'70s and into the '80s, however, the attractive vinyl top had degenerated into a bloated excess of gaudy padded landau, disappearing shortly afterwards in shame. Many of the classic Mopar body styles, on the other hand, looked great with a fabric-covered roof. Our '71 Charger R/T left the factory wearing a Boar grain vinyl top in basic black. It nicely complements the sweet lines of the Charger, contrasting with the GY-9 paint, and enhancing the stripes and hood blackout.
Our top had been replaced 10 years prior, and while it was still in good shape, minor surface rust in the roof was starting to lift the fabric at various points below the vinyl covering. Since we're in the process of a minor rebuild on this car, replacing the top was on our to-do list. So, the old top was peeled off to find the source of its troubles. Poor prep under the old top consisted of a rough sanding of the original glue, and a shot of cheap lacquer primer. The porous primer was lifting, and the vinyl top was losing its grip to the roof as a result. Fortunately, the rust was only in its formative stages, with most of the problem stemming from the lacquer primer peeling from the steel of the roof. We stripped and treated the entire roof, and applied several coats of epoxy primer to create a solid base for a new top.
New vinyl tops are cataloged by Year One for most any muscle-era Mopar. We called in for a replacement and were surprised to find that an authentic reproduction top can be purchased for little more than the cost of a cheap aftermarket "universal" top. Other than the authentic grain and seams, there are other big differences between these tops and the typical upholstery shop special.
The top we received from Year One was constructed much like the original-made from a heavy-weight vinyl of the correct grain, with a thin cloth backing. Most "replacement grade" tops come with a soft felt filler backing, which lends a puffy look to the top-quite different from the factory-delivered product. Year One's top for the '71 Charger comes fully assembled, including the seams around the lower edge of the rear window, while most replacement-grade tops come with a separate strip for this area, which needs to be sewn on.
Installing a vinyl top is a finesse job. In fact, Year One strongly advises a professional for the installation. We feel like pros around here, so we weren't daunted; quite a few installs over the years help build confidence. Unfortunately, Bolig wasn't in town to lend a hand when the time came to get it done. The install should be considered a two-man job, at least during the initial placement. Front to back, the replacement took an honest day's work, but the quality good looks are going to be around for years to come.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The centerline of the roof was accurately measured and marked at the front and rear. This was vital to getting the top installed in the correct position, with the seams evenly spaced at each side.To prep for installation, the top was laid over the Charger's roof. We lined up the centerline marks and adjusted fore and aft to establish the correct positioning.After sizing up the positioning, it was time to break out the glue. We have used contact adhesive in a paint gun in the past, but this time went the easy route with trim adhesive in a spray can. Our local autobody supply jobber sold us a can of DAP High Strength Spray Adhesive, a brand used by the local trim shops, although 3M and other manufacturers have equivalent products. The fabric was folded back over itself, and one half of the main roof panel was sprayed with a thorough and uniform coat of adhesive.Both surfaces needed to have glue applied for the adhesive to bond, so the top material was also given a coat. With adhesive on both surfaces, the top bonded to the roof on contact.Fold the loose half of the top over the bonded section, apply adhesive, then bond it like the first half. The position has already been set, so the second side is much easier.Make sure the centerlines are in exact alignment, and pull the top down tautly to the roof. The material will bond immediately, so positioning is critical before bringing the material in contact. Start at the center, working outwards to the corners of the roof. Two or more helpers make the job easier, but it was done solo here. Avoid pulling the material up and adjusting the position more than absolutely necessary, since lifting usually causes the glue to lift from the roof, compromising the bond. Another pitfall of repositioning is the adhesive will bead up, with the wads of glue creating lumps that will show through the material. Position it exactly in the right place the first time it makes contact.A small wheel was used to work the material firmly into the roof-gutter channels. Make sure there is enough adhesive in this area to provide a firm bond.
Unlike earlier cars, the '71 Charger's vinyl top extends behind the rear glass. This area was bonded next. The excess material was then trimmed to within one inch of the window channel. The rear glass was out of the car during the installation.The last areas to bond were the A-pillars. We had the windshield still in the car, but removed some of the sealant around the glass so the top material could tuck deeply into the channel.With the bonding done, the next step was trimming. The best tool for the job was a sharp razor blade. First, we trimmed near the roofrails, trimming to the lower edge of the rail. This area got capped with a stainless steel strip.Trimming around the perimeter needs to be done accurately so the material is well secured but doesn't show beyond the trim. The trim is less than 1/2-inch wide, so there isn't much room for error. The best approach is to mock up the trim pieces into position and mark the edge. The material was then cut to 1/8-inch inside the marked lines.After trimming the vinyl, the top moldings were reinstalled. We purchased all new trim clips from R/T Specialties.The moldings always go together in a sequence. On the '71 Charger, it started at the quarter windows, then the long side strips, followed by the trim around the base of the rear window.The top material needs to be trimmed carefully around the pegs for the windshield trim moldings. Again, we got all new clips from R/T Specialties.The completed top looked perfect, although the front windshield trim would have to wait to have a few dings bumped out and polished before we'd install them. Besides the money saved, the best part of installing the top ourselves was not having to load the rolling chassis onto a trailer to get to an upholstery shop.
