Rifle High School's boys basketball team is riding an eight-game winning streak going into the Class 4A Western Slope League/Southwestern League District Tournament.
The Bears haven't lost a game in more than a month. Their average margin of victory has come by double digits, save Rifle's 42-41 victory at Delta on Jan 25. What's more, the Bears have twice - twice! - shut out an opponent in the first quarter during this stretch.
So there's a lot of confidence for Rifle headed into its quarterfinal-round match-up against Steamboat Springs at 4:30 p.m. today at Grand Junction Central High School, right?
"Actually, I try not to think about it," said a smiling coach Roger Walters during practice earlier this week. "I'm kind of superstitious."
Regardless, things have been working for the Rifle boys (11-8 overall) as they head into districts, which run today through Saturday in Grand Junction. The Rifle girls (13-6 overall) will also play Steamboat Springs in a quarterfinal matchup, with game time set for 6 p.m. today at Central.
The winner between the Rifle and Steamboat Springs boys will play either Battle Mountain (9-11) - a 54-52 play-in game winner Tuesday against Montezuma-Cortez - or top-seeded Durango (14-5) at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The winner between the Steamboat Springs and Rifle girls will play either Eagle Valley or Delta at 6 p.m. Friday. All games Friday and Saturday will be played at Brownson Arena in Grand Junction.
Losers of today's games will drop into a consolation bracket but will still have a chance to reach the Class 4A State Tournament. The top seven finishers in the tournament earn a trip to state.
Rifle's boys squad, which opened its Western Slope League campaign 1-6, finished fourth in the league standings with an 8-6 record (a nonleague win over Paonia has been part of their run). Even when things weren't going well for Rifle right after the holiday break, Walters wasn't about to push the proverbial panic button.
"We always talk about how when things are going good, it's always easy to be a good person," Walters said. "You find your true character when things aren't going well. There wasn't a night when things weren't going well that they didn't come into the gym trying to get better."
Tanner Quick, a 6-foot-5 junior, has set much of the pace for Rifle. His 10.8 points-per-game average leads the team, as does his seven rebounds per game and 37 blocked shots. Twenty-four of those blocked shots have come in the Bears' six February games.
"Our attitudes have changed," Quick said. "We came into the season with crummy attitudes because we hadn't had very good seasons in the past. Now, with our new system, there's been a completely different mindset on how bad we want to win."
Rifle's girls haven't had any trouble winning in past seasons. The Bears had only lost a combined seven games during the 2011-2012 and 2010-2011 seasons, with four of those losses coming in the Class 3A State Championships in Fort Collins.
Not that the 2012-2013 season hasn't been good. The Bears, despite jumping up a classification to 4A this season, still finished second in the WSL standings to Delta (16-3), which wound up seeded second in the district tournament.
That experience, however, may not be as big of a factor as some might think.
"Honestly for me, every year is a new year, and I don't see that as an advantage," Rifle girls coach Rick Schmitz said. "Nobody is going to care about that playoff experience (tonight). Steamboat is definitely not going to care."
Steamboat Springs and the rest of the district field may need to care about Chante Church and Joey Kuheim. Church, a junior, is averaging 17.2 points per game, increasing her scoring production as the season has progressed. Kuheim is averaging 11.2 points to go with her 7.1 rebounds per game, which was good enough for third best in the WSL behind Delta's Callie Gifford (9.9) and Eagle Valley's Taylor Martin (8.2).
The obvious focus now, however, is the Bears' game against Steamboat Springs today. A win would be the third victory for Rifle over the Sailors this season.
"We're putting in a few new things, because coach says since it's hard to beat a team three times in a season," Kuheim said. "But it doesn't matter that we've beat them twice already. We just can't overlook anyone."

First off, our new zimbraserver rocks. Hands-down straight-up rocks. I've run everything from sendmail to exchange, and zimbra has them smoked. Thanks for the effort developing it, and double-thanks for showing the world how FOSS can be the foundation for a viable business model.
With regard to the URL hover, I've got some concerns about it. First off, Alexa/A9/whatever has a bit of a reputation problem, and while I'm neutral as far as opinion on this goes, it is something I take into account. It should also be noted that the blacklist we obtain from a trusted source for our squidGuard filtering proxy classifies alexa.com as "spyware."
More importantly, we are a school district, so confidentiality is a legal requirement as well as an ethical neccessity for us. It's something I take seriously.
What i'm concerned about is what data is leaking from clients when the hover is called up. What is going out? is it a "give me foo.com picture" or is it "give me foo.com/sessid?something_important_that_shouldnt_be_in_a_U RL_but_is_anyway?" And if needed, how do I disable the URL hover from the admin console?

Dear Sveta,
Hey! I really like you. You seem to have a fun + friendly personality and I hear you get along with pretty much everyone on the WTA Tour. That's nice.
I even like your game - that is, when you're not getting in your own way. You know what I'm talking about, the way you have of obsessively thinking about it during a match to the point where all moments of spontaneity and creativity are completely destroyed. It's like throwing cold water on a brightly burning flame.
If I remember correctly back to 2004 when you had that surprise run to your first and only major championship to date - the U.S. Open - you're an all-court lady baller with shots to spare. But for some reason you've made the unwise decision of parking your Russian arse at the baseline all...day...long.
The results speak for themselves: lost 10 of your last 11 final appearances, suffered a second round loss in Dubai to Elena Vesnina, and only reached two quarterfinal appearances to date at Syndey and the Aussie Open where you served for the match against eventual winner Serena Williams and then crumbled.
Now you've been upset in the second round of Indian Wells by 18-year old Urszula Radwanska 2-6, 6-4, 3-6 after being up a break in the third set. She's a talented baller but still raw and not at your level at all. But you found a way to lose. Yes, YOU found a way to lose a match you should've won. And as last year's finalist and World No.8 you'll be taking a hugh hit in the rankings and will most likely fall out of the Top 10. Let's not even discuss Miami where you made the semifinals last season - the field will be much deeper (read: the Williams sisters return).
So my advice? Step off the baseline. In fact, step off the court completely and take a break to clear your mind and get some head shrinking. The Tour will be here when you get back but it needs you to be in better shape. And I would think you'd want that for yourself too.

Open Letter to Sveta: Take a break, you need it (badly)

Step away from the computer, Rich. This lady clearly needs you to be her sports shrienk. She utterly needs one now. What kind of game is she playing these days? Ursula took a medical time out and came back limping, and like you said, Svetlana managed to LOSE the match. LOL! Seriously though, she does need to take a break. You're so right about that.ReplyDelete
3:30 am, I was awake (sort of) and I knew she would lose once she was broken back. I love Kuzzy, but she exasperates me so much.ReplyDelete
She beat Venus last year in Miami, no way she does it again playing like this. She has a new coach and is a better athlete than half of the tour but yet ... runner up seems to be her favorite title.

Lol this quote by Steve Tignor just popped into my head
Dementieva just went out. Maybe you should make this a chain letter for all the WTA players.ReplyDelete
JJ's out now too. Seriously, Rich this letter has to be delivered to the entire tour. Start licking stamps!! (or, like everyone else in the 21st century you could email it to them)ReplyDelete

Ridiculous! Could it be because they play too much tennis?ReplyDelete
I suggest you send them a tweet via Twitter. Elena even said she didn't want to be there. I wonder what Jelena will say.ReplyDelete
"Elena even said she didn't want to be there."ReplyDelete
So funny I didn't want to have to watch them be there either! See, we could've helped each other out: the lady ballers all decide to go on hiatus to get themselves together and their heads shrunk (sans V + ReRe who are actually winning titles by winning and not by having their opponents implode) and then we don't have to suffer through their matches.
Simple is as simple does I say.

As for Lena, I'm giving her a pass on this loss. At least she's won a couple of titles this year unlike JJ who has yet to even make a final! Lena does need a break as she said but I think she'll be fine. JJ, well, let's see.

Jefferson County, MO (KSDK) - A two car collision in Jefferson County Wednesday sent three people, including two who were airlifted, to the hospital.
Missouri Highway Patrol officials say Paula Ellsworth, 27 of De Soto, was driving westbound on Highway H and was trying to make a left turn onto Big Pine Place when she pulled into the path of an eastbound car. The time of the crash was reported to be just after 3:00 Wednesday afternoon.
The two cars collided, leaving Ellsworth severely injured. She was airlifted to Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur. The other driver, identified as 63 year old Johnny Hollingsworth of Richwoods was also taken to Mercy Hospital by helicopter, with less serious injuries.
A child in the Ellsworth car, Kayla Galczynski, 9 of De Soto suffered minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital in Jefferson County.

Have you recently noticed a loss of skin radiance, uneven complexion and/or dark spots on your face? The Mela-D line provides professional grade results with reducing dark spots and making skin tone more even. The three main ingredients in this line are Kojic Acid (1%) to help regulate the overproduction of melanin, LHA to increase cell turnover and reduce dark spots and Glycolic Acid to provide reinforced exfoliation of dark spots.
One of the most common problems reported from aging skin is discoloration also known as hyperpigmentation, usually manifesting itself in the form of dark spots. Hyperpigmentation is usually the result of sun exposure but can be exacerbated by hormonal changes as well as breakouts and other minor skin injuries.
The La Roche Posay Mela D line offers solutions for dark spots and uneven skin tones without the use of hydroquinone, a chemical bleaching agent.
La Roche Posay Mela-D Serum contains three different concentrated acids to lighten dark spots without the use of beaching agents. It helps to even out the skin tone and restore radiance to the complexion.
When dealing with dark spots, it is essential to use daily sun protection. The sun is responsible for the majority of hyperpigmentation cases. If lightening products are used without sun protection, the results will be negated. Further sun exposure will cause existing hyperpigmentation to worsen and new spots to form. La Roche Posay Mela-D Dark Spots SPF 15 provides daily moisture while also protecting the skin against the damaging rays of the sun and helping to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. La Roche Posay Mela-D Dark Spots SPF 15 should be applied every morning to help reduce hyperpigmentation and maintain results.
La Roche Posay Mela-D Skin Lightening Lotion SPF 15 is a comprehensive treatment product that can be used every day to help lighten dark spots, even the skin tone while also improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. It has a light exfoliating effect and helps protect the skin against further discoloration from sun exposure.

(Washington) - The United States Helsinki Commission will conduct a hearing to assess the state of human rights and civil liberties in Russia since President Vladimir Putin took office just over one year ago. The hearing will be held in advance of the first summit scheduled for President Putin and President George W. Bush.
The fate of civil liberties and human rights in Russia have been increasingly in question since President Vladimir Putin took office in January 2000.
Recent human rights concerns in Russia include the brutal and continuing war in Chechnya, the takeover of the NTV television network and general pressures on the media, and apparent attempts by Russian security services to intimidate scientists and environmental activists.
In the latest Freedom House assessment of the state of freedom in the world, Russia was rated "partially free." But freedom in Russia has declined since the re-establishment of Russia's independence in 1991, according to the Freedom House rating.
President Bush will meet with President Putin in Slovenia on June 16 to discuss missile defense and human rights issues. In preparations for the summit, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said he raised concerns with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov regarding the situation in Chechnya. Ivanov has purportedly promised that Russia would allow an assistance group from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to return to the region.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia education officials say the state's new, more rigorous mathematics tests proved to be a challenge for all types of students during the last school year.
The state Department of Education Wednesday released Standards of Learning results for the 2011-2012 school year by race and other subgroups.
Officials said last month that math results were down notably from a year ago due to revised standards aimed at better preparing students for college or post-graduation employment.
Overall, 68 percent of students passed the math assessments in the 2011-2012 school year, compared with 87 percent the year before. Pass rates fell by between 8 and 26 percentage points among the subgroups, with the largest drops seen among black students and those with disabilities.

Mastering Multiple Sclerosis
Could You Have MS? 16 Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
What is MS?
by Amanda Gardner
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, meaning it affects the brain and spinal cord.
In the most common type (known as relapsing remitting MS), symptoms come and go. These can run the gamut from mild tingling to more severe vision loss.
However, MS is tricky. Because so many other conditions can also cause similar symptoms, a hypochondriac could easily think they have it when they don't. On the other side, it can take years or even decades for people with MS to be diagnosed. Only a doctor can perform the appropriate tests to confirm whether these symptoms are indeed MS.

Monday Afternoon News, January 7
State Legislature To Go Back To Work Next Monday
(Le Mars) -- In one week, Iowa legislators will return to Des Moines to start the General Session. State Representative, Chuck Soderberg of Le Mars says he believes the legislature will look at three priorities, including a balanced budget for the next fiscal year. Soderberg says Governor Branstad will submit his budget on day two of the legislative session, and he believes the legislature will immediately go to work on the budget. The state legislature will have to decide what to do with a large revenue surplus.
Listen to
Calling it a recipe for disaster, Soderberg, who will assume the duties as House Appropriations Committee chairman, says he wants to make certain the budget is balanced using on-going revenue sources, and not to be tempted to balance the budget using one-time money for on-going programs. Another priority for the legislature will be to reform education.
Listen to
Soderberg, along with State Senator Bill Anderson will hold legislative forums on Saturday, prior to the start of the general session. Soderberg and Anderson will be at Plymouth County Energy at Merrill at 8:30 a.m., the Habitue Coffeehouse and Creperie in Le Mars at 10:00 a.m., and at the Akron Public Library at 12:00 noon.
Siouxland Officials Tour Kansas City Area Casinos
(Kansas City) -- A delegation of Siouxland officials got a first hand look at what a Penn National Hollywood gambling casino looks like on Saturday during a bus trip to Kansas and Missouri. Nearly 40 people made the trip in which they met with city officials from Kansas City, Kansas and Riverside, Missouri, which are home to the Penn Gaming facilities. The group included business leaders, members of the new non-profit organization partnering with Penn Gaming on their local casino proposal, elected officials from Woodbury County, and area media representatives.
Iowa Home Buyers May Be Eligible For Lower Taxes
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Some Iowa home buyers may be eligible for a program that will reduce their federal tax burden.
Gov. Terry Branstad announced Monday the state is offering a mortgage credit certificate program that will reduce federal income taxes for qualifying home buyers. The relief could be as much as
$2,000 a year for the duration of the mortgage.
The program is available to first time homebuyers, those buying in certain targeted areas and some military veterans. It is funded through federal bonds and the state expects to provide relief to about 1,000 home buyers.
A spokeswoman for the Iowa Finance Authority, which is administering the program, says this tax program has not been offered to Iowans since the mid-1990s.
Branstad Shoots Deer Buck
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A new decoration is coming to the Iowa Capitol, courtesy of Gov. Terry Branstad's latest hunting expedition.
Branstad announced Monday that he shot a buck over the weekend during his annual deer hunt.
A picture of Branstad with the slain buck is displayed on his Facebook page. The governor shot him on Saturday in Decatur County. He says this is the third time he has shot a buck.
The governor plans to mount the deer head and hang it in a conference room in his office. His spokesman says staff believes this is the first time any game has been hung in the governor's office.

1981 Camaro
Keith Larson
Cedar Falls, IA
We often refer to cars that have been through a complete teardown and makeover as "built from the ground up," but this 1981 Camaro takes that term literally. Keith Larson started with a jig bolted to his garage floor and 400 feet of tubing, which he fabbed into a full chassis/cage that became the base for the car. Oh yeah, he'd never welded before, so he learned as he went. It took six years working nights in his garage when he could get to it, but he got it done.
The Camaro uses only two components from Larson's original Z28: the car's cowl/windshield structure, and the nose. He fabricated the interior panels from aluminum and the exterior panels (yes, every single body panel) from aluminum and sheetmetal with help from some friends at Performance Bodies in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The suspension is all race car, complete with adjustable corners, a Frankland quick-change rear, and an exhaust system he designed to run through the side panels of the car to dump just forward of the rear wheels. The coolest part of the story, though, is that Larson still drives this beast on the street!
1964 Chevy II
Zachary Hall
Blountville, TN
Zachary Hall was officially born in the wrong generation, and we mean that in the best way possible. While most 18-year-olds we know are into modified late-models, or perhaps muscle cars, Hall's project is a 1964 Chevy II straight out of the late 1960s drag race/custom scene. Check out the straight-axle from Speedway Motors with the appropriate nose-up attitude, the Halibrand slots in the rear, the spoke front wheels, and the way bitchin red window tint. This thing has the gasser look nailed. We imagine it's not a slouch when Hall stands on it either since under the scoop is a dual-quad tunnel-ram intake atop a built 350ci small-block paired with a Turbo 350 three-speed automatic trans. Oh, by the way, this is Hall's daily driver. The Chevy II was a father/son project, which is just proof to us that some dads are raising their kids right!

BROOKLYN PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- Monday afternoon, police started investigating an assault on a woman reported by a friend and later charged the woman's boyfriend with attempted murder.
Anne Arundel County police say on Monday at approximately 12:30 p.m., an officer in the area of Ritchie Highway in Brooklyn Park was approached by a man who told him his friend was in a confrontation with her boyfriend earlier that day and may need some help.
Officers then went to an apartment to check on the well-being of the woman. She indicated to officers that her boyfriend had assaulted earlier in the morning in a wooded area behind the 6000 block of Ritchie Highway.
The woman and her boyfriend had been staying there when they reportedly got into an argument. Police say her boyfriend, later identified as 29-year-old Louis Vaden, assaulted her and dragged her through a bonfire. The woman was transported to Shock Trauma in Baltimore.
Officers found Vaden later that night in the 6000 block of Ritchie Highway. He was taken into custody and charged with attempted first and second degree murder, first and second degree assault and other charges.

Hi there!
We are running 4.0.2 and want to upgrade to 4.5.3, however, we want to do a test run on different but similarly spec'd hardware to see how long it takes, and make sure the process is smooth, etc.
Our zimbra production servers are fairly heavy-use; we have 3 servers:
ldap.domain.com (ldap only)
mail1.domain.com (mailstore)
smtp1.domain.com (smtp only)
I have installed a new zimbra 4.0.2 server with all components (ldap, smtp, mailstore) all for testing as "testdomain.com".
What is the best way to copy/duplicate all the users from my production "mail1.domain.com" to the test "testdomain.com" server?
1) I thought if copying the entire /opt/ directory over, but, the production mail1.domain.com doesn't have ldap or smtp running on it ... I'd like to use just one server to test
2) Perhaps write a script to backup all the users off of the production mail1.domain.com mailstore using "zmbackup --account", then scp'ing the data over to test.domain.com and doing a create user + restore? Will it matter than the users belong to "domain.com" and I'm restoring to "testdomain.com" ? I'm also afraid that this would take days to run.
3) ..or along the lines of #2, do a "restore" from the normal backups on "mail1.domain.com" to the new "testdomain.com" ..? What is the process for this? Scp over the /opt/zimbra/backup/ directory to the testdomain.com server and restore? Share /opt/zimbra/backup over nfs, and mount on testdomain.com and restore? (this one doesn't seem optimal)
4) any more suggestions?
Thanks for any ideas!

|Guest Commentary
|Written by Bob Russell
In June 2007, with much coercing and bribery, I attended my first (and last) opera. I chronicled my experience in one of the Enterprise issues that month—no doubt all of you cut it out, framed it or immediately sent it to some literary critic for nomination for a prestigious writing award. Well, OK, so most of you didn't even read it—but thanks to the Enterprise staff for being kind enough to publish it.
In that article, I pretty much said I would commit hari kari (sword suicide for those of you who aren't schooled in Japanese) should I ever have to attend another opera—in fact, now that I have seen Madam Butterfly, I don't even like to look at butterflies.
I also mentioned in the article that my next huge step in the maturation of my artistic training should be to see a ballet—but I would probably not go back to Bass Hall, the wonderful venue at which we saw Madam Butterfly, unless there was nudity and they served Coors Light during the performance.
Alas, I am here to report that I have now filled that other square—and (sigh) there was no nudity (but really close—more on panty hose in a moment) and no Coors.
For a Christmas present this year, a dear South Korean lady friend of the Russells, Sami Park, purchased tickets to The Nutcracker at Bass Hall—for her, my wife, her two boys and me. How could I turn Sami (a former ballet teacher) down and hurt her feelings? Besides, I so longed to see grown men prancing in tights! Right.
Now, before I go too far in this article—and perhaps am barred from returning to my home town, let me note that I have been reading the Enterprise and I must be very careful with my remarks about The Nutcracker.
It has been reported that cute little Emily O'Neal, 12 years young, is one of the students dancing in the Colorado Ballet's production of this famous ballet—and I don't discourage her a bit for doing what she is doing. Even I thought the younger ballet members of the Texas The Nutcracker were extremely adorable, very athletic and amazingly energetic—my hat's off to all of them!
Emily, "break a leg," sweetie—am sure you will enjoy every performance!
However, the older women in these ballets really MUST get some decent dresses to wear while spinning and tapping and toeing in their ballet shoes. These stiff chiffon outfits that look like a porcupine stuck its toe in an electrical socket have got to go.
The tutus (those are "ballet skirts" for you cattlemen who read the wonderful "It's the Pitts" columns—which I love) are simply weird. However, the tight tights that the tiny talented ladies wore were fine—what man wouldn't want to look at nicely shaped legs for two hours? But…let's discuss the men in the performance next.
Come on! How many of you guys, when in a dream or when you are courting a lovely lass, have pranced and danced and twirled and toed around your fair damsel—often picking her up and lasciviously clutching her as you ran around a stage HALF NAKED? Now, as much as I liked to see the ladies in very tight stockings and cute slippers, I detest seeing men wearing leggings so tight, one could see the veins in one guy's leg.
And I have no idea why each man appeared to be wearing a baseball cup or a huge sock rolled up and stuck you know where—it was gross! Even Scots wear a long kilt over certain body parts! One best not walk around a Texas street that way if one wants to stay healthy.
The lighting and stage sets and children running around in wonderful costumes was all dazzling and very entertaining, although Joshua, the 9-year-old Korean boy who was "dragged" to this play by his mother did ask, "Are they ever going to say anything, Grandpa Bob?" (He calls me his grandpa—another story.)
Whereas the opera singers didn't want to do anything but warble for two hours, the dozens of hose-hugging dancers in The Nutcracker uttered nary a word! Perhaps we need to invent the Balopera or the Opallet—combine a little bit of singing with a little bit of dancing? Wait, I think that is called a "musical." (And the only one of those I liked—and I have seen more than one—was West Side Story—probably because I thought Natalie Wood was sexy!)
The Nutcracker music, on the other hand, was fabulous. First of all, I am not a classical music buff—in fact, I rarely listen to any at home and my wife and I have slept through more than one Fort Worth Symphony performance over the years. I lean toward jazz, Christian music, popular music—and a little of the modern western tunes and singers.
But…no Tchaikovsky, no Bach and no Handel (except for the Hallelujah Chorus—very nice). Still, for some reason, back in my Holyoke High School days, I had The Nutcracker record (remember those round plastic discs?) and I listened to it a lot then…so it was wonderful to hear a nice orchestra belt out those famous tunes.
Back to the men. I thought of going up to them after the performance and offering them some of my jeans or Sunday pants but it appeared that the packed house at the beautiful hall we were in actually LIKED to see those dudes do their dapper dancing in darn near nothing—so I resisted.
In the end, I figured those half-naked men must have been from San Francisco and just happened to be in Texas—and the only safe place they could act like they were acting was on stage in The Nutcracker (pardon the pun).
So…no nudity, no Coors Light, and I survived. I have seen one opera. Done. I have attended one ballet. Done. I am now educated in the fine arts. I have even been to a few modern art museums. There is nothing left for me to see—wait! What about Gaelic tap dancing? What about Texas line dancing—ladies in extremely tight jeans and guys in boots! Now we are talking.
Editor's Note: Bob Russell graduated from HHS in 1964. A retired USAF officer and retired Lockheed Martin fighter cockpit designer, Bob is an avid writer and has published a number of things over the years. Bob swears he has never worn tights or a tutu, but he admits there were a few parties at Colorado State University and times drinking hard with fellow fighter pilots that might have caused his memory of the evenings to be blocked out. If any of you witnessed him in a tutu or skin-tight leggings prancing around, he apologizes profusely and promises never to do that again.

Soft snow conditions made for a great glissade on the descent. The top of the couloir is alredy pretty melted out and all the loose rubble really sucks! Amazing displays of wildflowers just a few 100ft below the summit.

|After being denied by high winds and snow at the top of the Hourglass on the 27th, we returned for a dayhike revenge trip a couple days later. Snow was still unconsolidated from the previous weekend storms making the class 2 section above the couloir particularly dicey, but at least we didn't have to walk the road section from the Pack Station a second time. Great views, will definitely be back to the Rock Creek area.

Comments about ... Donkey Pinata Kit (Each):
It was fun for the kids and teens, but unfortunately wasn\'t the best quality as the head fell right off instead of the entire body being broken. That never happened. Nevertheless this was the best deal and kids don\'t care about the quality of a product! I would buy again!

Glen David Andrews reworks Dr. John's "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" with Paul Sanchez on guitar.
If you've got the time this weekend, here's a smoking hot, hour-and-ten-minutes-long concert by CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band. It was origninally webcast live on September 21, 2013, from the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., part of a regular concert series.
Here's a blast of pure summer fun to cure your winter blues, from Louisiana Music Hall of Famers Dash Rip Rock. It's a south Lousiana party in a roots rock video, complete with boats, dogs, dacquiris, and bonfires. And a guitarist-on-water skis.
Carnival 2014 is underway!
Check out the gallery below for 6 beautiful shots from last night's Joan of Arc parade in the Quarter, the work of WWOZ volunteer photographer Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee.
The Hot 8 Brass Band performs "New Orleans" live at the 2012 Pickathon Pumphouse Sessions near Portland, Oregon.
The recent video below by Shreveport native Maggie Koerner is the title track of her second album, Neutral Ground. It's her first video, as she tells Your Cousin Dimitri in this interview. It's beautifully produced, and at 9 minutes long, something of an epic.
On Thursday, January 2nd, clarinet and sax genius Victor Goines stopped by WWOZ to share his newest CD "Morning Swing" and his insightful thoughts about jazz and life. On his own "Rosemary Joseph Records" label, "Morning Swing" is Victor's salute to Benny Goodman --- hence he plays the Bb clarinet exclusively.
Here's the Kenny Garrett Quartet performing "Wiggins", a tribute to Garrett's high school music teacher, shot live for the French radio network RTL (formerly Radio Luxembourg).
In this short interview from Yeah You Right Music's YouTube channel, Davis Rogan narrates a tour of some great brass band art inside a historic building in Treme, formerly the Acme Hardware & Stove Repair Company, and the building in which Rebirth first started practicing.

Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a speech given Saturday by Robert E. Murray, chief executive officer of Murray Energy Cor....
Badwater all you libbies drink the Obama Koolaid that coal output and jobs have increased, based on 2 year old figures.
They PEAKED in 2011, are on the downhill slide now that the war is ON.
Power plants are being FORCED to convert, not because it is so cost effective.
Yeah a NEW plant would likely go gas because it is cheaper NOW. But would you TEAR DOWN a functional plant and build a new gas plant on the basis of money alone?
Of course not, it is pressure from the EPA and the Gov.

Cleanwater needs to come clean. Just say what you mean: you will support any progressive agenda at any cost. You are intelligent, yes. But you cannot camoflouge your liberal roots. Paying a carbon tax penalty, or any penalty to the feds does not make someone guilty. It just means they are on the wrong end of a political agenda. Since you are into reseach, it shouldn't be hard to find scientific articles supporting global cooling in the early 1970's should it?

CleanWater "Candidates from both parties; please ... do something toward developing new industries for the coal counties."
So you think politicians can develop industries? LOL I think you're confusing politician with industrial engineer. But keep supporting politicians who promise to find jobs for you instead of supporting industrial development that actually produces jobs, and then keep wondering why you can't find a job. Derrrrrr......

Da wraith, the coal production/jobs example in my post stopped at 2011, not 1993. The decline from 2012 to your data point is largely attributed to natural gas, not the phony war on coal.

If first quarter holds for all of 2013, the coal output is BACK to the output of your 1993 figure dude!
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Badwater, it should be obvious to ANYBODY that figures from 1993 are 20 friggen years out of date and hence meaningless.
Of course, THAT would be the only way for you to make your point, namely LYING.
DaFACTS from US GOV EIA:
"Highlights for first quarter 2013:
U.S. coal production during first quarter 2013 totaled 245.1 million short tons. This was about 1.8% lower than the previous quarter and 8.0% lower than first quarter 2012. Production in the Western Region, which represented 52.7% of total U.S. production, dropped to 129.2 million short tons from 136.7 million short tons in fourth quarter 2012."
War on Coal: REAL.
20 year old data: FAIL!

Candidates from both parties; please just shut up about a non-existent war on coal and do something toward developing new industries for the coal counties. To continue ranting about a phantom war on coal either shows your ignorance or shows you to be a liar.

DaWraith: today's weather forecast = global climate trend = hoax = conspiracy.
Back to the phony war on coal. Here are some facts taken directly from the National Mining Association's own website.
In 1923 there were 704,793 coal miners producing 564.6 million tons of coal in the US.
By 1953, 293,106 miners to produce 457.3 million tons.
In 1993 the number of miners had dropped to 101,322 yet production more than doubled to 945.4 million tons and by 2011 just 88,000 miners were producing 1,094.3 million tons.
It should be obvious that environmental restrictions have not cut into coal production, but technological advances have eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs. There simply is no war on coal. There may be a war on coal miners, but it isn't the EPA or the President that is leading it. Politicians can rail against the EPA all they want, but those jobs are not coming back.

Funny wienerdawg quote a book written by Chris Mooney.
Chris Mooney is a science and political journalist, blogger, podcaster.
NO DEGREEE is Sciences, NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE in science, just a "Blogger"
Chris was born in Mesa, Arizona, and grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana; he graduated from Yale University in 1999, where he wrote a column for the Yale Daily News. Before becoming a freelance writer, Chris worked for two years at The American Prospect as a writing fellow, then staff writer, then online editor (where he helped to create the popular blog Tapped).

Weather Channel:
"Folks in the Midwest must be wondering where summer went, with record-low temperatures blanketing the region this weekend and another unusually cool day expected Monday.
Saturday brought unseasonably chilly daytime temperatures from the upper Mississippi Valley to the Great Lakes.
Chicago saw a high of just 65 at O'Hare on Saturday, breaking the daily coolest-high record of 69 set in 1981. Up the road a bit, Milwaukee tied its 1981 record-cool high of 64.
Meanwhile, the Twin Cities also stalled at 64 degrees Saturday, a new July 27 record there, eclipsing the 1991 record-chilly high of 65 by one degree."

WV, thanks for the feedback. I respect your perspective and viewpoints, but I cannot agree with them. The consensus of credible climate scientists is most definitely that human forcing is taking place, and the average global temperature is increasing. I did check out the source you cited and was puzzled that the reported "consensus" of scientists opposes the role of humans and even the reality of significant climate change. When I did additional background research on this source I learned it is not a scientific research organization but is instead a conservative group presenting conservative viewpoints on science issues.
FWIW, I just came across this book, "The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science- and Reality" Figured you might get a laugh out of it.

Wheel, The impact of civilization on the planet is undeniable, but to what extent is the question. From Forbes, "It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.
Don't look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem."

2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
No conspiracy, Wheeldog. Simply economics and psychology. If your studies prove global warming, that's exciting, that leads to more questions – how much, when, where, why - and you get funded to do more studies. If your studies prove no global warming, that's boring, and what's left to study, nothing? So you get no more funding. After you paid for a study that showed nothing was happening, would you fund a study designed to show that nothing is still happening?
Natural selection of studies. Studies that find something lead to more studies. Studies that find nothing lead to nothing. Is evolution a conspiracy? Same thing. But if you can't understand that, I understand.

Troll, are you saying that more than 90% of accredited climate scientists are part of an international plot to perpetrate a falsehood regarding climate change? That's a pretty massive conspiracy.

Wheeldog, those agencies typically hire "researchers" who toe the party line. And especially researchers who are able to obtain Government grant-funded studies that lead to follow-on Government grant-funded studies, with follow-on residuals to those agencies.
Who do you think gets the funding for the follow-on study? Researcher A whose previous studies indicate no global warming so no need for further studies, or Researcher B whose previous studies indicate global warming that needs to be further studied? And which researcher is more likely to be hired to do more Government grant-funded residuals-providing studies?
It's like natural selection, with the researchers who find positive results being selected for future studies and the researchers who find negative results producing no future revenue so eliminated from the warmer community.

Poseurdawg, at 150 ppm CO2 life ceases to exist on earth because all plant life dies.
We are at about 380-400 ppm.
It has been as high as 2000 ppm during the "Garden of Eden" days of the Dinosaurs and the earth OBVIOUSLY survived.
Scientists have proven a RISE in temperature comes about 800 YEARS BEFORE an increase in CO2.
CO2 cannot POSSIBLY be a cause of warming, it is an E-F-F-E-C-T of warming.
Go back to pandering on something ELSE you don't understand like Peak Oil or Sasquatch.

Oops, you're right, CleanWater. And you're wrong. I didn't mean anthropomorphic, which relates to human form. I didn't' mean anthropocentric, either, which relates to human importance. I meant anthropogenic, which relates to human influence.
Any-who, enjoy that carbon tax. Because it will be passed directly on to your electric bill. So you'd better go solar and wind now. Be a leader and show us how it's done. Without government subsidies, because that's cheating. And we've had quite enough Solyndras lately, thank you very much.

WASHINGTON (USA TODAY) - Embroiled in scandal, the IRS has replaced the official who supervised agents involved in targeting tea party groups.
The IRS official at the center of a scandal over the targeting of Tea Party groups refused to answer questions by a House committee Wednesday, saying she did nothing wrong but was nevertheless invoking her right not to testify against herself.
"I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules and regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee," said Lois Lerner, IRS director of exempt organizations.
Lerner was the IRS official responsible for the office in Cincinnati that created a "be on the lookout" list for tax-exempt applications from groups using the words "Tea Party," "Patriot" and "9/12 Project" in their names. Those applications were held up for more than a year while applications from liberal groups requesting similar status were routinely approved, a USA TODAY review found.
An audit by the IRS inspector general found that Lerner tried to immediately correct that list when she learned about it in 2011 but replaced it with criteria that included groups "critical of how the country is being run." Members of Congress from both parties want to know why she never informed Congress - even under direct questioning.

I think VMware owes it to the forums to let us in on development progress toward supporting the features in the ios5 update that dropped yesterday.
I'm sure the questions will flow in many times through the next few days. Imho it'd be best to clear the air in a sticky.
Is there a way we could get a peek at what may or may not be worked on and some rough idea of timing.

This is more of a warning then anything else: notifysync will break your private events and make them public.
It seems that notifysync doesn't support the sensitivity tag in activesync. This wouldn't be a horrible by itself, except that it breaks the server side tag as well.
If you create a private event, it will happily sync to you BB, and if you watch the sync logs you will note a strange pattern. Every time the device syncs the server tries to push <POOMCAL:Sensitivity>2</POOMCAL:Sensitivity> and next sync the device pushes back with <POOMCAL:Sensitivity>0</POOMCAL:Sensitivity>. This is ok for a while, right up to the start time of the event, the server maintaining the private flag, but at the first sync after the start of the event the server seems to give up and the device wins, and the server now takes the public setting for the event.
Clearly thats a problem. We'll complain to notifysync but I wonder why zimbra gives up on stoping the change after the start of the event while it doesn't before.

Wistey Earns Second Big 12 Swimmer of the Week
AMES, Iowa – For the first time in Iowa State school history, the Cyclone swimming and diving team has earned Big 12 weekly honors three times in one season. Senior Imelda Wistey can lay claim to two of those awards.
The most decorated breaststroker to ever swim for the Cyclones dominated the pool against in-state rival Iowa en route to a career night. Wistey rewrote the history books as she helped tackle four records, including one of her own.
200 Medley Relay
Alongside teammates Bre Loeschke, Kaylee Kucera, and Amanda Paulson, Wistey took down the Beyer Hall pool record in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:41.40 and a 27.79 split. The previous record, held by Iowa State's Nan Liu, Jeli Nixt, Abby Glaser, and Lindsey Behrens, was set on Dec. 11, 2009 against the Hawkeyes with a time of 1:42.66.
100 Breaststroke
Wistey broke both the ISU school record and the Beyer Hall pool record in her signature event, the 100-yard breaststroke. On March 1 of 2013, Wistey set the Iowa State school record with a time of 1:01.35 at the Big 12 Championships; it took her only nine months to best her performance.
With a time of 1:00.46, Wistey also broke the Beyer Hall pool record previously held by Texas A&M's Ali Atkinson set in 2007. Wistey's performance in the 100-yard breaststroke qualified as an NCAA Division I B-cut.
200 Breaststroke
Previously held by current teammate, Emily Wiltsie, the ISU school record in the 200-yard breaststroke was broken by Wistey with a time of 2:13.79. Her record setting time broke her personal best by nearly five seconds.
The Cyclones return to action on Friday, Jan 17 at 4 p.m. as Iowa State hosts the Fighting Illini of Illinois.

Major Surgery Part 1Written by on June 13, 2005 Ridding your ride of rust
Cancer, there are not many words that ring with pain and death as muchas this one. Whatever treatments are employed, they must have one endresult: all cancer must be removed, or it will eventually come back tohurt you again. A band-aid won't fix this.
The same is true for rust.There is no place for band-aids or patches in any real restoration. Rustmust go. Period.
There isn't anyone who would argue with this, but youwill get disagreements about the best course of treatment. John Balow ofMuscle car Restorations has learned in his sixteen years of experiencedoing first class restorations to be absolutely merciless in dealingwith rust damage. The reality is rust works its evil deep in the nooks,crannies, and hidden crevices of your car. Even if you properly repairthe damaged part of a panel, you really don't know what other damage isoccurring behind seemingly solid areas. There is no form of CAT scan tosee what's lurking behind sheetmetal. The only true long-term solutionis major exploratory surgery--completely remove the panel and treat theentire area.
John and his talented craftsmen have raised the standardfor panel replacement. They are producing results that are practicallyindistinguishable from an original factory panel.
This is the first in amultiple-part article. We knew that you guys would want to knoweverything about how to do a job like this, so follow along as we getdirty.
In our first lesson, we're going to detail the right way toremove a diseased quarter-panel, so there will be no signs of rejectionwhen the new one is installed.
Plasma cutter . . . Plug cutter. . .Cutoff wheel . . .
Let's open her up!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Muscle Car Restorations insists on preserving the original compoundcorner at the top of the quarter-panel, the taillight extension area,the marker light position, and door jamb seams. That way, the usualtell-tail signs of quarter replacement are eliminated, and, moreimportantly, the original factory fit is completely maintained. Thepositions of the cuts are clearly marked out in advance. The cut linesare lower on the original panel than where the finished seam will be.A plasma cutter is the easiest way to remove the panel, as there is nowarping or other heat damage. It also produces nice clean edges...With the old quarter removed, you can see there is a lot of gunk thathas accumulated in the bottom seam on either side of the wheel opening.In fact, in the front corner of the wheel opening there is a good dealof old sandblasting sand from the previous patch job. All of this debristraps moisture, even right out of the air, not to mention each time thecar is washed. If this isn't cleaned out, rust will come back again andruin the restoration.Preserving the original marker light opening not only maintains theoriginal factory fit and location of the marker light, but if this cargets the rear stripe, it will fit perfectly, as well. As good as thereproduction panels from Year One are, the marker light openings are notalways identical with the originals.A 3/8-inch "plug cutter" is used to remove the spot welds around thewheelwell opening and the bottom of the quarter. Stubborn areas may needa little persuasion from an air chisel......The tools for removing thefactory spot welds are a Century 1/8-inch double-ended drill bit and a3/8-inch Blair plug cutter. The bit works for marking the center of thespot weld and providing a guide for the point of the plug cutter.This is the kind of hidden rust damage that is commonly found after removing a quarter-panel. The only way to properly fix this kind of damage is to custom make a piece to replace it.
A little hammer and dolly work is always necessary around the wheelopening after breaking and drilling out those sometimes stubbornspot-welds.On the flat areas, John prefers a 3M 8-inch, 24-grit grinding disc.Clean off all the crud and loose rust, but don't remove the rust down toshiny bare metal. The POR 15 product we'll be using later needs a littlesurface rust to form a tight bond with the metal.The quarter has been removed, leaving the upper bodyline, the door jamb,taillight attachment points, and the original marker light opening.A 3M Clean and Strip Disc works great on the edges and in the grooves.clean up all the loose stuff, but don't polish it shiny.Mask off the inner wheelwell lip to keep it clean for the Weld ThroughCoating that we will be applying a little later. Any POR 15 on this areacan potentially interfere with the plug welding you'll use to attach thepanel.Using a throw-away brush, apply a good coat of POR 15 to all the rustyareas you've just cleaned. POR 15 is not like regular paint. It convertsthe rust into an inert material and bonds solidly to the metal. You'renot painting over rust. You are actually removing it by converting itinto something else. it is impossible to mechanically remove all therust from rust-pitted metal, and if you don't get it all, it willeventually come through whatever paint you apply over it. Unless you arehaving the entire car dipped and E-coated, POR 15 is the way to go.Now you can remove the masking tape and spray some 3M Weld ThroughCoating on the inner wheelwell lip. Weld Through Coating, as the nameimplies, allows you to weld to those areas, while providing good rustprotection in the wheel-opening seam.Now comes the really fun part. Grab a propane torch and a putty knifeand start scraping the old undercoating from around all the edges. Thelast thing you want is melted undercoating getting into your welds asyou are attaching the new panel. The heat from a standard propane torchis pretty safe here, but watch that you don't use any more heat than youreally need to soften the coating. Sorry, guys, there is just no otherway to do this than heating and scraping, heating and scraping, heatingand scraping.

Intel® Atom™ Processors N450/D410/D510: Thermal Design Guide
This document describes the thermal characteristics of the Intel® Atom™ processor N450, D410, and D510 and provides guidelines for meeting the thermal requirements imposed on a single-processor system.
The goals of this document are to:
• Identify the thermal and mechanical specification for the device.
• Describe a reference thermal solution that meets the specifications.
A properly designed thermal solution adequately cools the device die temperature at or below the thermal specification. This is accomplished by providing a suitable local ambient temperature, ensuring adequate local airflow, and minimizing the die to local ambient thermal resistance. Operation outside the functional limits can degrade system performance and may cause permanent changes in the operating characteristics of the component.
This document describes thermal and mechanical design guidelines for the Intel® Atom™ processors in the micro Flip Chip Ball Grid Array package. For thermal design information on other Intel® components, refer to the respective component datasheets.

BALTIMORE (WUSA) -- How does a 108-yard kick-off return for a touchdown by the Baltimore Ravens' Jacoby Jones end up netting 600-plus fans free furniture?
They're all winners in Baltimore-based Gardiners Furniture's Super Bowl contest.
Co-owner Gary Mullaney explains, "The deal was you had to come in Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday and we cut it off at three o'clock."
For the past 3 years, the 72-year-old family-owned chain has been running a promotion: If the Ravens run back either the opening kick-off or the second half kick-off for a touchdown, all qualifying purchases for that timeframe are free. It's not just the Ravens who are big winners, 624 customers are now too.
Mullaney says he was surprised as anyone, "Nobody ever expects to win the lottery, you buy the tickets, and I don't think anybody, including myself, expected Jacoby Jones to run back the kickoff. And not only that, the Ravens won the game too, which was the icing on the cake."
You might wonder, why is Mullaney so pleased to give away more than $600,000 worth of furniture?
That's because the furniture store doesn't have to foot the bill. They took out insurance. Mullaney estimates the premium cost between eight to 10, 000 dollars.
That's not a bad investment for some good will, happy customers, and free publicity, as the story has been picked up on TV stations throughout the country and, of course, is all over the internet.
Mullaney says, "They're going to tell stories to all their friends that that was a great experience. it's been a win for us and a win for our customers."

Welcome to the Guild James, glad to have you aboard.
Hi everyone,
I'm a long time follower, first time subscriber to Cartographer's Guild, and I must say, in the 15 minutes I've spent exploring, I am wondering why I didn't join earlier!
But a little about me:
I'm a 20 y.o. student living in Perth, Australia, studying my final year in Engineering. I've been gaming (Mainly DnD but also CoC and Earthdawn) for about 3 years now, and I've been trying my hand at running games for about a year. That's what has brought me here; I really want to do more of my own map work and drawing, and this seems to be the best place to learn what I need to know, and also to discuss it with like-minded people.
I also am a massive history enthusiast, and historical cartography is amazing, so I'd love to get into making really pretty maps, either with a computer or by hand. If I ever do, I'll be sure to post stuff here!
Nice to meet you all, and I look forward to hopefully many years of drawing, looking at your drawings, and assorted gaming talk that I'm sure will go on.
Welcome to the Guild James, glad to have you aboard.

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
I bought this suit for the full coverage it offered while photographing whales sharks north of Isla Mujeres. The whale sharks didnt disappoint and neither did the wetsuit. It kept me warm in water in the mid eighties for hours at a time, it protected me from the sun, it allowed me to dive to 25-30 feet with no extra weight to capture silouettes, it reduced worries about sea lice and jelly fish, and it stood up well. It will become a staple of my tropical diving.

This scuba pro bag is high quality but small. You can get your reg bag, bathing suit, t-shirt, and limited camera gear in it but not much else. I like the bag but had hoped it would carry a bit more.

i wear 7 ml gloves in cold water with either my dry suit or 7 ml farmer john and tunic combo. an instructor, im usually the last one to gear up after helping everyone else and im sick of gloves that are impossible to get on and next to impossible to get off. henderson has solved my problem with the 7 ml aqua lock hyperstretch gloves. easy on, easy off warm, and good tactile features, my only complaint is that i didnt buy them sooner.

A repeat Henderson buyer, I expected the 5/3 ml hooded vest to be good and its great. Diving in 75 degree water, Im wearing it under my full 3 ml suit. Before the first dive, Ive been getting funny looks and silly questions. Before the second dive, everyone wants to know where to get one. This product is tough, good looking, easy to get on and off, flexible (wear it hood on or pushed back). It has a permanent spot in my dive bag.
