Your Old 350 Block SucksWritten by Mike Finnegan on August 19, 2012
There's a limit to what you can do with old-school GM passenger-car parts, and the breaking point is relatively low when it comes to the Gen I small-block Chevy cylinder block. Sure, you can bore the block to within an inch of its life and fill the water passages with concrete before stuffing a 4.00-inch stroker crank into it and make decent power for a while. The fun won't last long, though, when the block cracks, leaks water, or flexes enough to pinch the main bearings or lose the head-gasket seal. To find the beef of the stock 350 and the aftermarket alternatives, we had Pfaff Engines sonic-test six different blocks with 350-style main journals (some are available with 400 main journals) and standard deck heights to see how far they could be bored and how thick the decks were. We also put them on the scale and called every manufacturer to find out how much work it is to drop a big arm into each one. The results were surprising, but we are savvy small-block Chevy shoppers now.

The Science Behind the Sonic Checker
Sonic checkers, like NDT Systems' CB110, determine the thickness of cylinder walls and decks by transmitting ultrasonic frequencies into metal, recording how long the signal takes to reflect back to the checker, and then converting that data into a measurement. It's similar to the way a naval submarine's sonar system operates to verify the range to a target, except that the frequency is much higher, 2-10 MHz, or two to ten million cycles per second in this instance.
The transmitter's probe sends a short pulse into the metal using a coupling material such as water or oil, and then the checker records the total transit time through the test metal. This is called the sound velocity, which is what is converted into thickness readings used to determine if the cylinder walls or deck of our engine block are thick enough for the foundation of a reliable racing engine.
According to NDT Systems' Greg Smith, designer of the CB110, the sound velocity is different for various types of metal. The pulse travels relatively slowly through cast iron, while it reflects more quickly through steel, and even faster in aluminum. Checking alloys complicates the readings to a degree because the metallurgy of a block fluctuates from one area to another enough to change the speed of the pulse by as much as 18 percent, ultimately affecting the thickness measurement by up to 0.055 inch. Using a test piece of material similar to the block you're testing gives a reference for a "good" reading versus an incorrect one.
Did you know?
15 years ago, General Motors shipped the original tooling for the small-block Chevy from its Flint, Michigan, plant to the Toluca, Mexico, facility, where crate engine block production continues.
When to Buy a New Block?
At what point do you sell your stock block and invest in an aftermarket one? Engine design will dictate an upgrade if you plan to increase the stroke of the crankshaft beyond 3.800 inches or bore it more than 0.060 inch. Look closely at the sonic check results and you'll see how thin the cylinder walls of a stock block are when you bore them to 4.125 inch. Cooling the engine also becomes an issue with an overly large bore. GM rates the original small-block cylinder case at no more than 360 hp, but we've seen them stay together at 600 hp or more by stabilizing the bores with a block fill (www.HardBlok.com is a well known supplier) up to the water jackets. Beyond that, we recommend stepping up to an aftermarket block. If you're starting from scratch, consider the cost of sonic-checking, pressure-testing, and machining an old block before you ignore the option of spending more bucks on a new one. Here's a rundown of what it costs to have Pfaff Engines chuck a block up in its five-axis machining center and boring machine:
- Bore and finish hone cylinders: $194.00
- Machine deck surface: $169.00
- Align hone main bearing journals: $206.00
- Sonic check bores and deck surface: $40.00
- Pressure test cooling system: $115.00
Say What?
Baffled by the terms in this article? Here's the lowdown on the more confusing ones.
Blind Tapped: This refers to boltholes that are drilled and tapped into the block without protruding into an open space, like the water jacket. Non-blind tapped holes require thread sealent on the bolts or studs and are prone to leaking water.
Siamese Bores: Early GM blocks have water passages between each cylinder bore. Late-model and aftermarket blocks have what are called Siamese or conjoined bores, which means there is no coolant passage between them. The metal-to-metal contact of each cylinder wall makes them more stable and prone to staying round under intense cylinder pressure that forced induction provides.
Splayed Bolts: GM passenger car blocks have main caps with bolts threaded straight down into the main webs. GM Bowtie racing blocks and most aftermarket blocks have splayed outer bolts in Nos. 2, 3 and 4 main caps. These bolts thread into the side of the block at an angle, usually around 10 degrees or greater. The side of the block has more material thickness than the bottom of the web, making it a stronger foundation for the bolts to grip.
Priority-Main Oiling: A factory 350 block's oiling system sends oil from the pump to the filter, then to the lifters and then to the cam bearings. The main and rod bearings are the last to receive oil, which isn't a good thing at high rpm or when you first start the engine. Priority main oiling reverses the path the oil takes, giving the main bearings the liquid of life first.

AUBURN, Wash. (June 16, 2013) – The first stakes double-header of the season matches 3-year-old colts and geldings in the $50,000 Coca-Cola Handicap and 3-year-old fillies in the $50,000 Irish Day Handicap.
The Coca-Cola and the Irish Day, both at one mile, will be run Sunday, June 23.
The hot combination of trainer Tom Wenzel and owner Northwest Farms figure prominently in both events, especially the Irish Day.
Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie—trained by Wenzel for Northwest Farms—swept the top three positions in the Seattle Handicap and figure prominently in the Irish Day. Unbeaten in two starts, Stopshoppingdebbie tied the Seattle Handicap stakes record with a 1:14.41 clocking for 6 ½ furlongs, while finishing 1 ½-lengths clear of 2012 Emerald Downs' Top Juvenile Filly Goin to the Window. All three Northwest Farms' fillies are stakes winners, but the Irish Day is their first try around two turns.
I Think So, unbeaten and untested in two stakes wins this season at Hastings Racecourse, is nominated to the Irish Day and an obvious contender if she runs.
In the Coca-Cola, Finallygotabentley—also trained by Wenzel for Northwest Farms—seeks a second consecutive stakes win. Finallygotabentley has finished first, second or third in all nine starts, and earned his first stakes victory with a gate-to-wire score in the Auburn Handicap. In his lone start at a route, Finallygotabentley finished to Music of My Soul in the 2012 Gottstein Futurity. Music of My Soul, a gate scratch in the Auburn, was the track's Top Juvenile Male of 2012 and is a double stakes winner for trainer Doris Harwood. Carving defeated Music of My Soul in a May 5 allowance race, but was third to Finallygotabentley as the 3-to-5 favorite in the June 2 Auburn.
Worldventurer is a new shooter for trainer Blaine Wright. The Texas-bred gelding won three restricted stakes and over $200,000 competing at Lone Star and Sam Houston Race Park.

SHADYSIDE - The Shadyside Tigers don't hesitate in talking about their goals, especially since they've not changed in the last three years.
Just two years removed from finishing with an undefeated record in the regular season and reaching the Division IV State Girls Basketball Tournament, Shadyside is gearing up for another possible deep run into March as it welcomes back four key contributors from a 20-4 squad.
''Since this group of girls has been little, it's been installed in them about setting the goal to get to the state tournament and win the state championship,'' Shadyside coach Tina Yates said.
While the Tigers finished with the a strong record, the sting of last season has resonated through the summer, fall and preseason workouts. Shadyside was sent packing in the district final by Hiland and also came up short in the OVAC 2A Tournament, falling to Wheeling Central in the title game.
''Those were two of our big goals that we set and we came up short,'' Yates said. ''In the OVAC game, I just think we were zoned out for whatever reason and not ready to play. The district game was nip-and-tuck the whole way, but I think we were physically drained from the tough semifinal game (against Garaway).''
While the Tigers are gearing up for yet another challenging regular-season schedule, Yates hasn't been afraid to throw around other teams that could stand in Shadyside's way come March.
''I talk about it quite often,'' Yates said. ''Our season is all focused toward our district. We can't overlook any games on our regular season schedule because it's pretty brutal, but we built that kind of schedule with the district in mind.''
The Tigers will be led by what Yates believes to be the best backcourt in the Ohio Valley.
Seniors Karli Bonar and Hayley Holenka are the on- and off-court leaders for the team.
Bonar, a 5-foot-7 shooting guard, is deadly from 3-point range. She knocked down 102 3-pointers last winter, which ranks third in Ohio history. She averaged 17 points a game and was named first team all-Ohio.
The University of Findlay signee is just a 24 points shy of 1,000 in her career and with another good shooting season, could make a serious run at the Ohio record for 3-point goals in a career.
Holenka (5-7) is a defensive dynamo. She's also expected to surpass the 1,000-point mark, which will make her the third member of her family to do so. Her older sisters Ashley and Shayla rank amongst the highest scorers in Tigers history.
Holenka scored nearly 15 points a game last season and she's capable of shooting the ball from the perimeter or taking the ball to the bucket.
Senior Kristen Fijalkowski (5-10) is a solid defensive player and returns to a starting spot in the frontcourt.
Junior Toni Andes is also back as a returning starter. The 5-5 point guard is the lone junior on the roster.
The fifth starting spot has been a battle between sophomore Kenzie Fielding (5-11), who saw quality minutes last season off the bench. She's being pushed by senior Dana Jackson (5-11).
''Kenzie is pretty athletic and Dana has been working hard and really understands the game well,'' Yates said.
Sophomore Shelby Benedetta (5-9) is expected to see varsity minutes, but she's been slowed in the preseason with an ankle injury.
Senior Lauren May (5-7), who missed all of last season with an injury, is on the shelf once again, but Yates thinks she'll be able to return in January.
Two other seniors battling to get into the rotation are Jacey Eneix (5-7) and Alicia Gulley (5-7). Sophomore Samantha Habig (5-7) is also trying to get into the rotation.

I was getting many Local Failure Notices recently and decided that a BES (BPS, actually, 188.8.131.52) reboot was in order.
After rebooting, the BlackBerryServer cannot open its Mail Profile in Outlook! It says: "The file C:\[path here, blah blah blah]\BlackBerryServer-1.zdb cannot be opened."
Is there any way to fix or restore this without wiping and resyncing all seven of my BB handhelds? (One of which is out of state?)
ANY insight or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Galleria Shopping Center de-annexation hearing set Tuesday
Published: Friday, June 13, 2014 at 4:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 13, 2014 at 4:56 p.m.
Wrightsville Beach | The Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will hold a public hearing Tuesday to discuss the proposed de-annexation of the former Galleria Shopping Center property, which is on the mainland side of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Town officials have been approached by the property's owners about the move, which would then place the 12-acre Galleria site within Wilmington's municipal boundaries.
This is the second time the property's owners, who would like to build a mixed-use project on the parcel, have made the request. Town officials rejected the idea last year.
The public hearing will be at 5:30 p.m. at Wrightsville Beach Town Hall.
Even if the request is approved by the town, a member of the state General Assembly would still need to submit a bill in order for the de-annexation to occur.

Dear Editor:
The government demands we know the calories of the food we consume, along with warning labels, etc. Now that the voters have shown they want even more government in our lives, more taxes, I would like to see one more number displayed on the goods we consume: the percentage of the price that is "hidden taxes" consumers end up paying for. You know, like those archery arrows where 40 cents on the dollar is a hidden tax that goes to the government.
The price of the loaf of bread you buy includes the cost of the taxes the farmer has to pass on to the miller, who passes it to the baker, to the distributor, etc., who all had to pay taxes for themselves, including income and Social Security taxes they had to withhold from his employees. It all gets passed on to the consumer.
Most people realize almost half the cost of a six-pack or cigarettes are because of a "sin tax." But, be it bread, cars, gas, medical costs, clothing, travel, the price of everything we buy carries in it the hidden taxes of everyone who contributed to the production of that product or service. It is disguised as a "high cost of living." In reality, it is the high cost of taxation and regulation.
Our complex, pervasive, expensive tax code is, in reality, a scheme to draft businesses and individuals as unpaid tax collectors to keep voters from realizing who really bears the burden of those high taxes. All taxes are eventually paid by the consumer. It doesn't matter what tax rate is applied to which tax bracket, or what deductions you receive.
These "hidden taxes" distort the political process, encouraging overspending by politicians who exploit the mistaken belief of many voters that government spending can be paid for solely by taxing corporations or the "rich." Worst, all the exploitation of envy and demagoguery brings so much ill will to our politics and between Americans. It's not the "rich" the 99 percent should be protesting, it's the tax-and-spend government they love and re-elect.

Günstige Alternative zu Hotels. Super Gegend. Eurostecker gibt's genügend im Anmelderaum. Gerne wieder. Keine Luxus Unterkunft, wenn Mann aber nur zum schlafen da ist, ausreichend.
Camera confortevole, ottima posizione. Provvista di tutto il necessario. Il proprietario è disponibile e gentilissimo.
We were 'upgraded' to another apartment closer to the tube, so what's written here is about that apartment, not this one: Nice studio apartment in an old, renovated building that had high ceilings. Bathroom (with shower stall and toilet) and kitchen on mezzanin, open to bedroom below. Has everything you need, except ventilation in the kitchen area which gets HOT if you do any cooking except for the most basic. Looks and feels clean and inviting. Nice quiet location just 4 minutes from Swiss Cottage tube station, where there are also shops and bus stops.
Very much enjoyed staying in the flat in Belsize Park. It was small but reasonable, very comfortable and everything was there that we needed. It was also great to be staying in such a pretty location within walking distance to a couple of tube tube stations
Booked the flat for a few more days - very happy to be there and the apartment letter was most helpful - thanks Daniel
Clean apartment, conveniently located close to the station. Friendly staff who respond to questions in a timely manner.
El apartamento no era justamente el de las fotos, estas mejor. Tenia la cama de matrimonio y la cuna de viaje que habíamos hablado con Daniel y además una cama sencilla, que termino usando la niña. Estuvimos muy calientitos con una maravillosa calefacción central que tu podías encender o apagar los radiadores para regular y ubicado entre dos estaciones de metro Swiss cottage y Finchely road que en un momento te ponían en el centro o en la linea central. Un barrio muy tranquilo, con supermercados próximos.
Las pegas serian que en cuanto a menaje estaba un poco escaso (solo dos cucharas soperas grandes para los tres que eramos) y que la oficina cerrarse el domingo y no poder dejar las maletas depositadas para no cargar con ellas todo el día también fue un poco incordio. La verdad es que es no hablamos von ellos por si tenían alguna opción de consigna, pero bueno.
En general muy contentos y a tener en cuenta si algún día volvemos
Super Lage, sauber und freundliche Vermieter
Allerdings (darum nur 4 Sterne) ist die Wohnung nur etwa halb so groß wie angepriesen, die Wassertemperatur schwank stark beim duschen und die Matratze ist aus extrem weicher Federkern (schlecht für leute mit Rückenschmerzen).
Daniel and his workmates are really friendly and cooperatively.
We had the opportunity to leave our bags at their office, before the departure.
The appartment was homely and we were immediately comfortable.
Unfortunately the lock of the bathroom and the tv were broken.
(And I think you have to pay something for Wifi).
The neighbourhood is great! There is the underground, busstops and lots of supermarkets.
très propre , bien placé , quartier très agréable , a proximité du bus et du métro

Beyond Planet Earth: An Elevator to the Moon
by AMNH on
Below, astrophysicist Michael Shara, who curated the forthcoming exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, explains how a lunar elevator would work—and why it might inspire a new sport.
We humans are barely toddlers when it comes to space exploration. Our first baby steps off our home planet 50 years ago took us to low Earth orbit. By 1973, 12 intrepid men had walked on the moon's surface. Since then we have sent robots to every planet in our solar system. The Hubble Space Telescope has shown us that the ordinary matter we are made of comprises only 4 percent of the mass of the universe. The Kepler orbiting telescope has proved that billions of worlds orbit the stars of our Milky Way galaxy. What will we accomplish in space in the coming centuries, as our steps become surer and bolder?

Young Naturalist Researches River Contaminants
by AMNH on
Seventeen-year-old Joshua had fond memories of swimming in Arkansas's Strawberry River, a popular site for community gatherings and picnics. But after the construction of a wastewater treatment facility upstream, no one would enter the waters. "The wonderland where I spent so many hours as a child is deserted now, and nobody swims or fishes in that section of the river," Joshua would later write. "I decided to find out for myself if the [facility] had indeed contaminated the water, or if the community had overreacted."

"Fly Me to the Moon" Guest Andrew Chaikin on the Moon and the Museum
by AMNH on
With the conclusion of NASA's shuttle program and the upcoming launch of the latest Mars rover, the future of space exploration is once again a hot topic—and humans' first steps on the Moon are all the more important to revisit.
On October 25, join Apollo historian Andrew Chaikin and the Museum's Director of Astrovisualization Carter Emmart for October's Astronomy Live program, Fly Me to the Moon. The evening begins at 6:30 pm and includes a flight simulation to Earth's nearest celestial neighbor using the latest data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, along with mapping photographs taken from lunar orbit by the Apollo astronauts 40 years ago.
Chaikin recently answered a few questions about his passion for space exploration.

CIT in Action
November 2009
Getting caught up in the criminal justice system can be a highly traumatic experience for people living with serious mental illnesses and family members trying to help them. In response, NAMI affiliates throughout the country have shown creativity and leadership in developing an array of resources to help inform and support these individuals. This issue of CIT in Action contains a sampling of some of the best of these resources. We also invite you to share information with us about innovative projects of this kind that you or others in your community may be involved with. This information should be sent to Laura Usher or Ron Honberg.
Feature Story: NAMI California: Bridging Communication Between Prisons and Mental Health Advocates
After Mark Gale's mentally ill son became entangled in the criminal justice and prison system, it became clear that there was a need to ease the exchange of information on persons who were experiencing incarceration and mental illness. Together with advocates, law enforcement and prison officials, he and NAMI California members set out to establish a standardized way of letting friends and family of persons with mental illness help their loved ones get treatment and medication.

Advocacy Spotlight
For the family of a person with mental illness, one of their worst nightmares is watching their loved one get arrested by police. Unfortunately, as many people can't get adequate treatment in their communities, this happens more and more frequently. For a person living with mental illness and his or her family, this can be a terrifying and confusing time. In response to this need, NAMI state and local organizations, and NAMI National, have worked to develop resources that help their members better understand and navigate the criminal justice system.
NAMI New York State
Deborah Faust of NAMI New York State talks about her work in the development of their "How to Help" guide that assists friends and family members of persons with mental illness who are arrested.

NAMI Baltimore
NAMI Baltimore has updated their "Beyond Punishment" guide that assists with helping link people in need with resources. But the process of putting together the guide may have done more than the booklet itself.
Read more...
NAMI Minnesota
NAMI Minnesota is in the process of updating their guide "Advocating for People with Mental Illnesses in the Minnesota Criminal Justice System". The new guide will include a section on re-entry, and a section for Minnesotans at St. Peter, a maximum security hospital. Anna Meyer, Director of the Criminal Justice Project at NAMI Minnesota says about the new guide, "Today, the challenges to reentry to the community from jail or prison are greater than ever. NAMI Minnesota has increased our work in this area and decided to update our "Advocating'" booklet to reflect that."
The updated booklet is available on the NAMI Minnesota website.
NAMI National
NAMI National's "A Guide to Mental Illness and the Criminal Justice System" can be found online. It includes information about types of crimes (misdemeanors versus felonies), the various steps involved in the criminal justice process and how mental illness factors in, the constitutional rights of criminal defendants, legal competency and insanity defense standards, tips on finding a lawyer, and other information.
NAMI National also provides a lawyer referral service - helping to connect individuals with lawyers in their community who may be able to help. You can contact the legal referral service by email. Unfortunately, we do not have a staff of lawyers, and do not have the capacity to assist with individual legal cases.
News and Announcements
National Reentry Resource Center Launched
On October 6 The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center announced its launch of the National Reentry Resource Center, an initiative to advance the safe and successful return of individuals from prisons and jails to their communities. Authorized by the Second Chance Act of 2007, the resource center's goal is to "provide communities across the country with the best thinking on complex reentry issues, comprehensive resources and myriad forms of support that can help reduce recidivism and strengthen neighborhoods and families". It will provide training and technical assistance to Second Chance Act grant recipients and provide a single point of contact for the many individuals and organizations that are committed to reentry issues.

Natalya and TJ still together
There has been a ton of speculations about the relationship status of Natalya and Tyson Kidd because of how their marriage has been portrayed on Total Divas. Rumors have persisted that the two of them will be getting a divorce soon. As of right now, the two of them are said to still be together in real life. Obviously, neither of them can discuss that publicly because the reality television show is taped and the producers do not want spoilers to leak.

Hello all,
I host several domains and I have users who want to use personas that are basically wild-cards. For example, a user might want to be able to dynamically send/receive emails as (firstname.lastname@example.com, or firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, etc). This is easily done with a catch-all account and setting "Allow sending email from any address."
But, I'd like to limit them to any address within their domain. I don't want users sending mail as users from another domain, or from domains that I do not manage.
Is there a way to limit the "send from any address" function to only the domain the user is part of? I tried using a wildcard like (*@test.com) but it didn't work.

This problem started occurring sometime while I had 4.0.2 and was not corrected by upgrading to 4.0.5. The host OS is CentOS 4.3 running 2.6.9-42.0.3.
The problem is that the MySQL predominantly uses all available CPU resources, resulting in a server load level of 2.5+ even when all else is quiet. I've not been able to find anything conclusive on the forums or wiki. The mysqld.slow log is huge, with a wide variety of queries included. It is acting almost as though it has lost its indexes and is having to do scan lookups for every action.
Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Sheriff's deputies, narcotic officers arrest men with large supply of marijuana
Oakland County deputies and narcotics officers arrested two men Tuesday afternoon after large amounts of marijuana were found in their car, officials report. According to deputies, a suspicious vehicle call brought authorities to the 1400 block of Sylvan Circle. After approaching the men -- a 20-year-old from Oakland Township and an 18-year-old from Rochester Hills -- the officers smelled a marijuana odor coming from the car. They searched the vehicle, and found a large amount of marijuana, packaging material, weighing scales, a computer, a ledger with cash inside. After Oakland County narcotics officers were notified, a warrant was obtained for both the mens' houses. The pair were taken to Oakland County Jail, while their vehicle was impounded. The investigation remains open, report authorities.

Man accused of holding woman against will with shotgun
A 28-year-old Pontiac man was arrested in the 200 block of East Rundell after a woman accused him of holding her against her will with a shotgun. The man had been "engaged in consensual sexual acts" with two Pontiac women, ages 18 and 21, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. Shortly before midnight Tuesday night, one of the women stole some of the suspect's marijuana, deputies said. The man ordered the women to completely disrobe and found the marijuana. At that point, one woman ran from the home while still nude and called 911 about a possible hostage situation. Marijuana and cocaine were found inside the home, as was a loaded shotgun. Warrants are pending against the suspect, who is a convicted felon according to the Sheriff's Office.

After I had a huge crash I recovered all mailboxes manually from (partially destroyed) backups. Most of the issues I found out myself and documented it in here: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...pt-backup.html.
So my system was up and running again after a couple of days investigating into the zimbra internals but for now I need further assistance.
I've got two accounts which do not sync IMAP properly - the Web GUI always show all of the (new, unread, ...) messages. But no matter what IMAP client is being used it either does only sync to a specific date or completely refuses to sync.
Since there are no errors/messages in the log files which I would recognize as important I would really appreciate any hints where to start.
I did some investigations "in the dark" but without any success.
It would be also possible to export the whole mailbox and reimport it again if I'd know it helps.

New Freightliner Cascadia Evolution: Up to 7 percent less fuel consumption
Daimler's US truck brand Freightliner is leading in terms of Greenhouse Gas 2014 (GHG14) regulations
A glimpse of the future: Cascadia technology platform reaches outstanding fuel consumption of 10.67 miles per gallon (22 l/100 km)
Successful long-distance test run with natural gas truck
Stuttgart / Washington D.C., U.S. – Daimler's U.S. commercial vehicle subsidiary Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) once again demonstrates its innovative strength in the field of environmentally friendly technologies: In Washington D.C. – in the presence of U.S. government representatives and the U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood – DTNA CEO Martin Daum presented the new heavy-duty truck Freightliner Cascadia Evolution, which will become available on the U.S. market starting next year. When compared to the current model (EPA 10 Cascadia), the new truck consumes up to 7 percent less fuel.
These fuel savings were confirmed by an independent agency (Automotive Testing and Development Services) in the course of a one-week drive across the U.S. under real-life conditions. The 2,400-mile (almost 4,000 km) route led from San Diego, California, to Gastonia, North Carolina. During the test, the two heavy-duty semitrailer trucks – weighing approximately 34 tons or 76,000 lbs. each – traveled at an average speed of 62 mph (around 100 km/h).
According to Martin Daum, two key factors led to the positive result of this Evolution of Efficiency Tour: "The tremendous fuel savings of the new Freightliner Cascadia are primarily due to the new Detroit DD15 engine as well as the aerodynamic measures. The fuel efficiency drive was a unique opportunity for us to conduct a test under real-life conditions of our latest technologies and the tremendous fuel saving potential they offer to our customers."
The DD15 engine of the Detroit brand, which is part of Daimler, is a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with 14.6 liters of displacement. As with all Detroit engines, it is equipped with Daimler BlueTec technology, which reduces emissions to near-zero levels and even falls below the EPA 10 emissions standard for the NAFTA region (comparable to Euro VI).
Freightliner trucks comply with Greenhouse Gas 2014 regulations
Already at the beginning of this year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified the Daimler commercial vehicles subsidiary's complete portfolio of long-distance trucks, medium-duty trucks, and vocational vehicles of the Freightliner and Western Star brands as fully compliant with the Greenhouse Gas 2014 (GHG14) regulations.
This means that DTNA is leading in the U.S. commercial vehicles industry. The company already meets the standards set by the EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which will not go into effect until the beginning of 2014. These regulations aim to permanently reduce the green-house gas emissions of heavy- and medium-duty trucks. The EPA believes that through the new GHG14 regulations, trucks and buses of the model years 2014 through 2018 are projected to reduce oil consumption by 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas emissions by 270 million metric tons.
A glimpse of the future: Freightliner Cascadia technology carrier measured with 10.67 miles per gallon
During a test drive with a technology carrier at the proving grounds in Uvalde, Texas, DTNA demonstrated that the fuel consumption of a heavy-duty semitrailer truck can be reduced even further through ideal airflow and additional technical fine-tuning.
For the test drive, the new Freightliner Cascadia Evolution was equipped with a Detroit DT12 automated transmission, low rolling-resistance wide-base tires, and a trailer specifically designed by DTNA with aerodynamic aspects in mind. This technically and aerodynamically optimized combination of a tractor and a trailer (total weight: approximately 34 tons) traveled exactly 1,000 miles at an average speed of 60 mph (97 km/h). The resulting fuel consumption was 10.67 miles per gallon, or approximately 22 liters per 100 km.
Shaping Future Transportation:
2,700-mile test run with CNG truck
DTNA presented another impressive test result in the area of alternative drive systems. For the first time, a natural gas-fueled Freightliner Cascadia completed a tour from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. (approximately 2,700 miles), interrupted only by refueling stops every 350 to 500 miles. The CNG truck (CNG = compressed natural gas) only used public gas stations to refuel, thus impressively demonstrating that alternative drive technologies represent a real alternative even today. In light of this success, Daum promised that DTNA will keep pushing forward in the field of alternative drive systems and continue to cooperate closely with government agencies and form strategic alliances with other economic sectors. "We want to live up to our leadership position by promoting environmentally friendly, resource-conserving, and sustainable transportation solutions," he said.
Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses have been pressing ahead with the development of environmentally friendly technologies since 2007. The leading commercial vehicle manufacturer consolidates these activities in its worldwide "Shaping Future Transportation" initiative, which aims to turn the zero-emission commercial vehicle of tomorrow into reality through efficient and clean drive systems and alternative fuels. The initiative involves the sparing use of resources and the reduction of emissions of every kind, while guaranteeing maximum traffic safety.
About Daimler Trucks North America
Daimler Trucks North America LLC, with headquarters in Portland, Oregon, is the leading medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America. Daimler Trucks North America – a Daimler company – produces and markets Class 4 - 8 vehicles under the Freightliner, Western Star, and Thomas Built Buses nameplates.

Shishaldin volcano, located near the center of Unimak Island in the eastern Aleutian Islands, is a spectacular symmetric cone with a base diameter of approximately 10 miles (16 km). A small summit crater typically emits a noticeable steam plume with occasional small amounts of ash. Shishaldin is one of the most active volcanoes in the Aleutian volcanic arc, erupting atleast 28 times since 1775. Most of Shishaldin's eruptions have consisted of small ash and steam plumes, although the most recent eruption in April-May 1999 produced an ash column that reached a height of 45,000 ft above sea level.

Fisk, Lynn, Rice, Evans, Yaz and Vaughn. All Red Sox greats, and at that the same point of experience (110) games, as Middlebrooks, we see some All-Stars and some non-stars. First of all the careers of Fisk, Lynn and Rice got off to tremendous starts, they were all candidates for ROY and MVP. But who leads them in HR? Middlebrooks with 21. Middy's .267 BA, outpaces Yaz (.257), Vaughn (.240) and Evans (.225). Slugging, Will posts a .479, which tops Yaz (.363), Vaughan (.359) and Evans (.359) and falls in right behind Rice (.482). How about RBI's Lynn with an amazing 85, Rice with 77, and then comes Middlebrooks 67, ahead of Yaz's 58. Fisk's 54, Vaughn's 49, and Dewey's 27.
It's clear by comparison Will is in some pretty good company, And I think the critics need to calm down.

Fast And Furious Parody Superfast Finds Its Vin Diesel And Paul Walker
By Kristy Puchko 2013-09-24 08:21:34 comments
If youre like me, hearing that The Fast and The Furious franchise has inspired a parody gives you that dull ache in the back of your head when youre hungover. (Which Im not. Promise.) Nonetheless THR reports writers-directors Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are gearing up for Superfast, a spoof thats meant to poke fun at the car chase franchise that already seems pretty well aware of its own outrageous quirks.
As Superfast nears its start date, the filmmakers are proud to announce theyve found their Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for Superfast in Dale Pavinski and Alex Ashbaugh. This indie comedy will reportedly have a lean budget, so its little surprise that theyve cast relative unknowns in the lead roles. Ashbaugh was recently seen in the notorious Lindsay Lohan vehicle The Canyons, and Pavinksi has scored bit parts in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and Takers. Filling out their car-stealing crew will be Cloverfields Lili Mirojnick as the Mia (Jordana Brewster) equivalent, Law & Orders Andrea Navedo as the Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) part, and 21 & Overs Daniel Booko will play the lesser remembered role Matt Schulze portrayed in the original of Doms friend who doesnt trust the gangs newest member.
Seltzer and Freidberg are old hands at spoofs, having first collaborated on the 1996 Leslie Nielsen espionage comedy Spy Hard, which was directed by the latters father Rick Friedberg. The screenwriter team have made a string of spoofs including Scary Movie, Date Movie, Disaster Movie, and Epic Movie as well as the 300 parody Meet the Spartans and the Twilight-inspired Vampires Suck. All of the above are decidedly low-brow ventures, but when the casting is just right, it can make for some sharp mockeries of certain stars. For instance, check out Jenn Proske doing her best Kristen Stewart in Vampires Suck:
It could be fun to see actors aping on Walker and Diesels typically stone-faced performances. But personally, I tend to get tired of Seltzer and Friedbergs shtick long before the credits run. Regardless, their latest movies cost about $20 mil to make, but often pull in over $80 mil worldwide. While thats peanuts compared to the $788 million Fast & Furious 6 has pulled in globally, they are still strong showings for devotedly dumb spoofs.
Superfast will roll into production in October in Los Angeles. No release date has yet been teased, but Seltzer and Friedbergs next venture The Starving Games (yes, a Hunger Games parody) will open November 8th, just two weeks ahead of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. As Fast & Furious 7 will hit theaters on July 11th, 2014, we expect Superfast will open to far less fanfare in June.

Speaking of choice words, Caroline Wozniacki had some of her own for the WTA and tourney director of Beijing.
The US Open finalist caught a virus while in Tokyo and had to retire from her opening round match against Aleksandra Wozniak on Tuesday, September 29th. However, she was scheduled to play her first round match in Beijing on the following Sunday, October 4th, but requested a Monday start with hopes getting more rest.
Wozzi discussed what happened in her latest blog:
In Beijing, I still was not feeling close to 100%, so I asked the tournament director and WTA for a Monday start (instead of playing my first round on Sunday), but it was very frustrating to learn on Saturday that I was scheduled to play my first match on Sunday. I really needed every hour of rest to get over this virus and ready for my first match, but the WTA or tournament director did not seem to care at all and take this into consideration. The WTA Tour is supposed to be a players union, but I certainly don't think they represented my best interest this week in Beijing and it was very disappointing. In my first round, I ended up playing Maria Jose Martinez-Sanchez, and I played a good first set which I won close 7-5. In the second set, it was really close again but I lost it in a tiebreaker and then in the third set I just completely ran out of energy and ended up losing the match.I'm actually very surprised the WTA and the tourney directors didn't give her an extra day considering she's a Top Tenner and just reached the US Open final. Plus, Wozzi doesn't consistently abuse rules (like some lady ballers we know.)
Losing my first round in is Beijing was exactly what I was worried about since I have not practiced for more than one hour in the past week. I was hopeful that if th WTA were to give me a first round start on Monday that I could've had a much better chance of winning and feeling better as I were to advance through the tournament. I am never one to make excuses because Martinez-Sanchez did play a good match, but I really feel the WTA and tournament director could've helped me and they chose not to.
I understand there are matches to be played and scheduling to be completed but it seems they were being too rigid in this situation.
VERDICT: I find the WTA/Beijing "guilty" of being lame. I mean, HELLO, Wozzi rocks.

A community group known for its controversial and antagonistic tactics is asking other neighborhood organizations to take a vote on whether they support Cincinnati's proposed streetcar project.
In a recent e-mail sent to leaders of the city's network of neighborhood councils, John Sess, president of the Westwood Civic Association, wants to gauge sentiment about the project. Sess states he will be "keeping tracks of the results," presumably to lobby city officials to reconsider the project.
When CityBeat heard the Westwood Civic Association was planning a so-called "West Side Summit," the group's leader responded that he was seeking input from various West Side neighborhood groups and that they could help set the agenda.
A recent e-mail exchange between WCA President John Sess and a Community Press reporter, however, in which Sess attempts to get publicity for the event, paints a somewhat different picture about its purpose.
A summit of neighborhood leaders from Cincinnati's West Side is being planned by the Westwood Civic Association (WCA).
The association is inviting all West Side neighborhood groups, not just those from its home base of Westwood, and says it's seeking input on topics that will be discussed.
Cincinnati Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls will lead a contingent of elected officials and community leaders on a road trip to Columbus on Monday to look at some apartment complexes built for homeless people there.
The group will tour two complexes built by National Church Residences (NCR) that provide permanent, supportive housing to formerly homeless individuals.
A local violence intervention program has received a $45,500 grant to continue its work.
Out of the Crossfire (OOTC) recently received the grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. One of only nine hospital-based programs in the nation, OOTC offers case management and rehabilitation services to more than 1,200 victims of violent injuries at the University of Cincinnati Hospital since its inception in 2006.
The Pleasant Ridge Community Council wil get words of advice and inspiration tonight from environmental activist Lois Gibbs, who was instrumental in the fight to clean up Love Canal in New York during the 1970s.
Gibbs will speak to the group at 7 p.m. at the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church.
Urban analyst Aaron M. Renn is a consultant, speaker, writer and blogger on a mission to "help America's cities thrive and find sustainable success in the 21st century." His popular blog, The Urbanophile, examines different cities and explores a variety of urban planning topics, including innovative strategies for urban success.
Aaron recently posted a lovely long song to our fine city saying we have "the greatest collection of assets of any city [our] size in America," even going so far as to say that the Queen City has an "embarrassment of riches."
Cincinnati's long-discussed streetcar system is a bit closer to reality today after City Council approved spending $2.58 million on the project.
The money will be used for planning and design work for the system. Its first phase would be a loop through downtown and Over-the-Rhine, with a later segment built to the uptown area near the University of Cincinnati and local hospitals.

You generally only see problems on mailing lists and forums, so I thought I would post a positive experience here.
I just had to migrate from a 32bit centos4 Zimbra running in an OpenVZ container to a 64bit centos5 version running in KVM.
I must have read those wiki instructions 30 times prior to moving, and I poured over these forums, but at the end of the day largely ignored most of the conflicting advice, and just doggedly followed the wiki steps one by one.
So far so good. We only had a single FOSS server with not that much data so I'm sure its a trivial setup compared to some here, but I'm glad it worked! We've managed to carry our data through upgrades and now a migration all the way from 4.5.
Thanks Zimbra for gluing together such a robust system out of all the disparate parts/projects.

Well, lots has been going on around Deschutes Brewery lately. Everyone has been so busy; keeping up with communication sometimes does not get the priority it deserves. I am writing here on the day after The Abyss release. This is probably the most anticipated event of the year here (although Hop Trip day is pretty cool too). People line up early to make sure they can get their supply. It becomes an event of its own. I went down to the pub last night and enjoyed some of the nectar myself. They had the '07,'08 and '09 versions all on tap at the same time. Quite the unique experience keeping up with how the product really ages. As we stood by the bar enjoying our libations, some of the brewers and myself were discussing, among the various attributes of The Abyss, the difference between the "vintages". Certainly, the older versions were more oxidized; after all, that is what the aging process is. But the flavors were knitting together in very interesting ways. The '09 tasted pretty "linear" to me. All the various flavors were on display in their individualistic forms. The alcohol, roasted malt, molasses, licorice, etc. were easily identifiable. With the older versions, whereas the flavors were all there, they seemed to be creating new flavors as the sum of their parts. The wood was a pleasant background as was the bourbon, although the vanilla characteristics of both were working pleasantly with the tannins in the roasted malt now. The molasses had lost much of its sweetness, leaving earthy flavors that seemed to meld with the licorice in perfect harmony. The longer the liquid sat in my mouth, the more it revealed. As my palate seemed to get more accustomed to the product being there, more layers appeared; dark fruits and spices, roasted herbs and more earth. All in all it was a truly rewarding experience because the time, efforts and patience of so many seemed to be rewarded so appropriately.
We have always believed our Reserve Series beers would age well. But, until we actually could experience it, we would not know for sure, or for how long. I believe they have significant aging capacity, particularly with products like The Abyss and The Dissident because of their acidity and the tannins that provide the structure on which these beers will age gracefully for many years. How fun the discovery!
Our Reserve line of beers has created some very interesting opportunities and some interesting challenges as well. We have attempted, with all our products, to push our own limits in beer making. We have created beers that will age like wine, use many non-traditional ingredients (whatever that means, because tradition is an elusive thing very conducive to selective memory), age in various types of wood barrels and date the bottles in a completely confusing way.
Larry Sidor, our Brewmaster, and I periodically have private tastings where we sit in his office and drink whatever esoteric beer we might have recently come upon, solving all the brewery's and many of the world's problems at the same time. Sometimes the beers we drink come from abroad, often from Belgium. As we all know the Belgians can be somewhat creative in the ways they make beers and in the ways they market those beers. As we were sitting there one day examining the label of a particularly unique Belgian offering (no, I don't remember which one it was) we noticed the date code on the label said "best if consumed after . . . " The date was set at least a year out (not knowing the bottling date we could not be sure). "What a clever idea!" We had been struggling with date coding our Reserve Series beers because we knew they could cellar well for several years, just how many we could not yet be certain. It is likely, that with some, they may last for a decade or two, or more. So, last year we started date coding our Reserve Series bottles with a "Best After" date that was set one year from bottling. We thought the beers were better off having a year to age and would only improve from there. Well, people were certainly confused. "Is it ok to drink before one year?" "Will it make me sick?" The answers are simple, no it will not make you sick (Unless you drink too much and we all know we drink responsibly, don't we?) And, yes it is ok to drink before one year. As evidenced by our experience last night, it is not only ok, but terribly delicious as well.
So, our recommendation is as always, buy enough bottles so you can enjoy one now and have others to enjoy as far in to the future as your patience and self discipline will take you. Keep it "cellared" appropriately in the mean time (in a cool, dark place), so your efforts will yield the maximum benefit. Maybe you can put on your own "vertical" tasting for family and friends and show what you really know one day.

Once you are in Buchkantine, a café just a street away from the river, you will wonder: how come not all cafes have books, or how come not all bookstores serve coffee? The books are new, and in case something is missing, one can order new titles from one day to the next. The bulk is in German but there are also a few English titles.
There is Wireless Internet available for free, on request, and the music covers jazz and relaxed tones. They also show detective films every Sunday between 20:00 and 22:00. The people from Buchkantine are friendly and have a great sense of humor too. Some of their passwords for the Wireless used to be: I want to stay alone with my sandwich or the horse doesn't eat cucumbers.
The mixture of books, music and drinks is a good choice for a relaxed afternoon or simply for a search for new books or new inspiration. While writing this text, I'm sitting at one of their tables and with curiosity I observe my neighbour – a middle aged man, alone with his laptop, longer hair, looking at the people sitting around as if they would suddenly become characters in his novel. One thing is for sure, now he certainly has become a character in my article.

I am starting a branch of the Zimbra IMAP server that will allow for decentralized message stores with failover using the Apache Virtual File System. The recent Zimbra HA thread.
I want to be sure to actively share the code to be consistent with the Zimbra and Mozilla Licensing. And also to hopefully pick up a few other contributors.
We plan on using Source Forge for version control and tracking of this project. Is this ok? If not does the Zimbra Team have another suggestion that would be better.
Just want to be sure I'm keeping with the open source Zimbra "standard".
