I am a 22 year old single college student and found out that I'm pregnant about 5 weeks ago now (I'm about 10 weeks along). I was a very premature baby and was always told that I would most likely be infertile, so while I was always careful, especially with a new partner, I wasn't as careful as I should have been. The shock of my pregnancy has been a tough one to deal with. I'm in a place where I'm just about to finish up school in a year, I have an acting career already in the making, and I've been just barely floating by and supporting myself for the past 5 years, working both a full time managerial job and a part time nannying job while in school full time.
I want to be a mother some day and there is a huge part of me that knows that I could do it. I could raise this baby. But I'm states away from any of my family members, and have created a life for myself that I'm eager to continue and worried that if I don't, my happiness and my child's happiness would suffer greatly. Also, like I said, I barely skate by supporting myself and am only just now really learning to budget well enough to be able to pay my bills on time (ish). I feel selfish when I think of trying to raise this baby without a proper father (the father is actually a dear friend of mine and would most certainly be involved but not to the extent that I would want for my child) and none of our family around.
With a mother who was emotionally and physically unstable, I was raised almost solely by my young father (who was exactly a year younger when I was born than I will be when I'm due). I love my father. He's my best friend and I wouldn't give anything up to trade him for a different upbringing. He did everything he could for me. He is and always has been a musician and while it was great growing up with the "rockstar" father (although a poor one), my childhood consisted mostly of moving around for him and his career. And though he is supportive of my own endeavors, he never really put in the effort or the care that I would've liked to have growing up. I don't want that for my child. I'm too selfish to give up my career right now and to worried that if I don't, my child's life will be all about me.
Anyway, my whole reason for bringing this up on this forum is because I want to have a natural birth and have been starting to meet midwife groups in my area recently. One thing that many people have warned me against is that with this intense experience, the adoption might be even harder for me. In the event that I ever became pregnant, I always told myself that a natural birth was the best way to go and I wouldn't want to go back on that all, not only for the experience but largely for the medical drawbacks and problems with medicated childbirth and c-sections today. And part of me wants this experience even more now because it will be something that my child and I will always share, even if I am not a parent.
I guess I'm just looking for suggestions on how to handle something so intense and wonderful and beautiful without going crazy afterwards.

Meridian police so far have not filed charges in a shooting incident. Detectives responded to the 1600 block of 28th Avenue Wednesday afternoon, following a report of a shooting.
"There they found a man who had been shot in the lower torso. He was transported to a hospital by ambulance. He is in stable condition at the hospital," said detective Dean Harper of the Meridian Police Department. "The suspect has already been interviewed by the police. The investigation is ongoing."
Harper also said a robbery attempt in the parking lot of Winn Dixie Wednesday night was unsuccessful. The male suspect displayed a handgun, but ended up fleeing on foot. Any information about the crime may be reported to Crimestoppers at 485-1860.

Pennsylvania gets strict on electronics rules
Jan 14, 2013 (The Evening Sun - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A new state law requiring the recycling of computers, televisions and other electronic devices will mean a little more effort on the part of residents but a big benefit to the environment, officials say.
Pennsylvania's "Covered Device Recycling Act" goes into effect Jan. 24 and will prohibit many electronic devices from being discarded into landfills and incinerators. The law means residents will no longer be able to place their computers, monitors, keyboards, printers and a number of other electronics on the curb along with their trash for pickup.
"If they set out TVs to the curb they won't get picked up," Penn Township Manager Jeff Garvick said. "They can bring it down to the drop-off site. We collect electronics every day." The act also requires manufacturers of covered devices, like televisions and computer monitors, that are sold or offered for sale in Pennsylvania to make collection programs available to residents for the recycling of those devices. Though not required, some retailers are also offering collection programs.
Residents in the Hanover area can take their electronics to the Penn Township collection center on Heights Avenue, one of 10 satellite collection sites operating in conjunction with the York County Solid Waste and Refuse Authority.
Hanover Borough officials are notifying their trash-collection customers of the upcoming change and directing them to take their electronics to the Penn Township site.
The York County Solid Waste Authority has already been accepting electronics for recycling from residents, businesses and community organizations the third Saturday of every month at its waste transfer site off Flour Mill Road in Manchester Township.
Ellen O'Connor, spokeswoman for the YCSWA, said staff at the waste-to-energy facility also have been removing electronic items from the waste stream as trash is brought in for incineration.
But starting Jan. 24, waste haulers will be prohibited from picking up those items. In fact, waste haulers have been directed to place stickers on electronic devices that provide directions for where to go to properly manage them.
Many consumer electronic products contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury as well as other materials that are better kept out of the environment, officials said.
According to the enviornmental group PennFuture, which was instrumental in getting the law approved in November 2010, "e-waste" comprises about 2 percent of the overall municipal waste stream, but accounts for nearly 70 percent of the toxic materials disposed in landfills.
A typical cathode ray tube computer monitor, for a non-flat screen model, contains 4 to 7 pounds of lead.
"Everything has a computer board in it now," PennFuture President and CEO George Jugovic Jr. said. "This protects both our air and our water." Jugovic said the law was crafted to also help spur the creation of jobs in the recycling industry. He pointed out that companies, such as Pittsburgh-based eLoop, have developed to properly handle the material.
"It takes advantage of free market and private enterprise to develop an industry that protects the environment," he said.
Adams County Environmental Service Director Bicky Redman said it is important to make sure those collecting electronics material are certified with the state before handing in material. She also recommended consumers ask retail stores whether they accept items for recycling.
O'Connor said the authority has been trying to inform the public about the new requirements for more than a year.
"I think people are aware of it. How it will impact them, I'm not sure," she said. "There are a number of options for people." But Penn Township's collection facility, behind the township building, is the only municipal-operated facility in this portion of York County.
In Adams County, the Adams Rescue Mission on York Road and the YWCA of Gettysbug and Adams County also are accepting electronics. The Goodwill store on Baltimore Street in Hanover is also listed as a collection site.
Under the act, "covered devices" include televisions, desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors and computer-connected items such as a mouse, keyboard, printers and fax machines. A number of other items, such as answering machines, compact disc players, electric typewriters, cell phones, hard drives, laptops, and gaming products are also accepted at the collection sites.
O'Connor said the county and participating municipalities are reimbursed for the electronics they collect.
"There is a value for electronic material right now. There is a reimbursement for them to participate," she said.
The authority has a contract with New York-based Eco-International to handle the recycling of its electronic material. The company was chosen because of its responsible reputation.
"They recycle as much as they possibly can. We know it's not going to a third-world country. That was an important factor for us," she said.
To register online Residents can take their electronics to the Penn Township recycling center on Heights Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

Ok here is an example of what I archieved with the Grid as tool.
I have decided to only run one thread here in the Mapping Elements Area and collect all my material for a more easier collecting and distributing.
With the time I want to put some new brushes and other Materials usefull for mapping in this, and open it for discussion.
For the Beginning, I want to post my grids, which I use to design new map-elements like Mountains. To use a grid is an easy way for me to have an overview and controll about the sizes usable for a map. The Grids are on an 300DPI roughly A4 Sheet, the base box size is 5mm x 5mm and increased always by one another dimension of 5 mm. Its helping me a lot to have mountains for each set in a decent number, if I stick to the amount on the sheet.
UPDATE 01: Edited Brushsets
All my Brush-Sets can be used in private and noncomercial projects. Any comercial use is only allowed with my explicit permission. These Sets have been constructed within many hours of work, so please respect my usage Rules. Copyright by Josephe T. Vandel aka Schwarzkreuz. If maps will be created from this, dont forget to put a Link in this thread so we can share it. Dont share or distribute them without former permission on other Websites or sell them. Please provide a Link back to this thread if used.
Here is the First run of Arden Map Brushes, its about half the Brushes used for my Arden Map.

thats a great idea having the grid to use as a guide. i find when i make my brushes without the help of a grid they tend to end up strange sizes and especially with slightly off-orientations so i have to manually rotate them once theyre done. very handy tool

Going to give them a run and see.. I appreciate all the hard work..
It's very generous of you to give away so much of your work Schwarzkreuz. These are really top notch as well.
Oh well, Arsheesh, I am already finished another Brushset with about 500 Elements called Ras Algethi. But am nearly about to skip it. The newest Set called Carcosa have already 450 Brushes with about ~300 to be added, drawn with the excellent Nanotechnology Pens of the Pilot-G series. Also i need to finish my Altostratus Color Map set, another one adapting Torstans Mountains and at last another set adapting DJ's Pit of War style. About 50 A4 Textures have to be prepared and than also uploaded. I am only sharing the Sets, that I will no longer use. They got replaced by more advance Brushes.

Current volunteer opportunities for the Sioux Falls region
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Sanford Health. Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities at Sanford Health in the Sioux Falls region.
Enhance the patient experience by providing a caring presence to patients during transport and assisting the therapist with treatment as directed. Also provide support to staff by providing housekeeping, clerical and restocking supplies as able.
Do you want to volunteer and get some exercise at the same time? Are you a real people person? If so, you would make a great volunteer in Admissions. Admissions escorts at Sanford provide a warm welcome to patients and escort patients to test areas or patient rooms.
Premature infants, known as preemies, come into the world earlier than full-term infants and often begin their lives in Sanford's neonatal intensive care unit. Volunteers provide physical and mental stimulation to the hospitalized infant by rocking, cuddling, singing and supporting the infants.
Volunteers in the Birth Place greet visitors as they arrive. Answering phones, call lights and delivering flowers to patients are assigned duties to the volunteers. Volunteers will also walk new moms to the NICU and help with discharge of patients.
Dakota Café is a bustling place where patients, families and staff catch up and get a bite to eat. Volunteers enhance the atmosphere by warmly greeting guests, carrying trays and keeping tables clean.
Do you want to be a kid again and love to play? The Sanford USD Medical Center Wellness Center has opportunities for individual who enjoy being with children ages 0-8 and help provide child care services while parents exercise at the Wellness Center located at 49th St. & Oxbow Ave. Volunteers play with children and interact with recreational activities for children.
Gift Shop volunteers provide "retail therapy" by touching the lives of patients, families and staff that come into the gift shop. Volunteers will assist gift shop staff in maintaining outstanding customer service by generating sales, merchandising, ringing transactions, taking phone orders and delivering flowers or gifts to patients' rooms. Gift Shop profits are used to support scholarships, patient care, programs and medical equipment here at Sanford USD Medical Center and Sanford Children's Hospital.
Dialysis volunteers provide comfort and support for patients by reading, playing games or listening. Volunteers assist staff with transporting patients, restocking supplies and filing. If you want to make a difference, this is a great area for you.
Would you like to get a feel for what it's like to work in a medical setting? If so, being a G.I. Aide would be great experience. Volunteers in this area assist in discharging patients, cleaning carts, replacing linens and help support staff.
The main purpose for this shift would be to escort patients from the GI Center to GI West. Other tasks may also include cleaning rooms, making beds, folding linen, stocking supplies and making food trays for patients.

NAMI supports full parity in both private (individual and employer-based) and public (Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-sponsored) insurance coverage for mental illnesses. Central to an understanding that mental illnesses are both "blameless" and treatable is non-discriminatory coverage for the necessary medical care for these illnesses. One key to unlocking the prisons of these illnesses is research, and research is driven by funding.
The discrimination in access to care is evidenced by limited coverage, punitive co-pays, and restricted access to hospitalization during acute episodes and what one would logically conclude would occur for other untreated or under-treated serious illnesses. That is to say: the outcomes for people with untreated or under-treated illnesses are disastrous and too frequently results in death or permanent disability. To that effect NAMI has been actively pursuing non-discrimination clauses in both federal and state insurance laws.

Recently a friend in the UK circulated images of the meals she'd received while staying at an NHS hospital. If I hadn't seen them for myself I would never have believed that such calorific and unappetising fare could be thrust upon those in a sick state.
Another contact reported that food served at the NHS hospital where her husband had been a patient was so bad that she had tried to sneak homemade soup into his ward. She had been caught by a nurse and admonished, and informed that health and safety rules banned such activity. By contrast in state hospitals in Spain it is customary for family and friends to bring homemade food to those in hospital though the food offered-and I can only speak for Majorca- is very edible.
Only this week a report published in the Lancet showed that Spain topped the league for highest life expectancy in Europe, and came twelfth out of 19 countries of similar wealth for its healthcare system. In fact on the only occasion when the World Health Organisation (WHO) compiled a league table comparing healthcare systems around the world, Spain came seventh while the UK lagged behind in eighteenth place.
The results of the Global Burden of Disease report published in the Lancet indicated that the Spanish could expect 70.9 years of good health compared to 68.6 years in the UK. Not surprisingly countries such as Italy and Greece that also followed a Mediterranean diet scored high on the list, and this despite all of them currently suffering dire economic conditions.
But returning to my theme of hospital grub, if the NHS is serving up unpalatable fare, what kind of message is it giving to the patients in its care? It is forever preaching about the need to live a healthy lifestyle and to consume five vegetables and fruits a day and yet the sort of dishes served up to my friend contained a lot of stodge that included bread, chips, pasta, mashed potato, glutinous looking white rice, cakes, puddings and custard.
In Spain even the poorest consume reasonably healthy fare. I can't imagine any household here in Majorca that wouldn't use olive oil every day. It is of course cheaper than in the UK, although on a recent visit to a London supermarket, I discovered olive oil sold at a competitive price. My Majorcan friends eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, fish and meat. They do not eat pre-prepared meals from the supermarket and mostly buy their fresh produce from the market.
All the same, the Spanish are not paragons of virtue. They love their postres, desserts, and cakes but these are mostly viewed as indulgences for feast days, celebrations and as weekend treats. Even though sweet shops don't exist in Spain, Chupa Chup lollies and ice-creams are favoured by children and of course the adults have their tipple of wine but it is always consumed in moderation.
Although Mediterranean countries enjoy more sun, an al fresco lifestyle, and better tasting and cheaper fruit and vegetables, it is possible to live healthily in the UK. The problem though seems to be cultural and to a large extent comes down to lifestyle. Many of my UK based friends lead stressful existences and work long hours so rely heavily on supermarket fare and pre-prepared 'comfort' foods. Supermarkets also act like sirens, offering all sorts of tempting, often unhealthy products that lure the consumer. However their counterparts in Spain are generally mundane and unappealing so locals and expats alike tend to use them for standard items.
There is no quick fix solution to the nation's health problems, but going back to basics and consuming more natural fare like the Spanish would surely be a start?

It would be simple minded to think Dish has not done their own math on the business side of this equation.
You'd think so, wouldn't you? But the reality is that many, many business decisions are not made based on the math, and are instead made based on emotions and egos of the people in power (people are people, after all...) I've seen it a million times. Maybe I just worked for dysfunctional companies, but people at the top will easily reject the fact-based, mathematical argument if their gut wants them to go a different way. I've seen entire businesses started up or ejected, despite the math being against them. And in this case, this dispute has all the markings of a battle of egos between the two Charlies involved.
(As a side note, if JP Morgan Chase had followed the math, they probably wouldn't have accidentally lost $3B this quarter. Whoops...)

Rural Renaissance
Recruiting for jobs in remote locations like North Dakota's Bakken region isn't easy. But recruiting from the local population can help a company fill open positions in rural areas faster than targeting candidates from big cities.

There's a misty cluster of lights in northwestern North Dakota that can be seen in pictures of the United States taken from outer space.
Although it looks to be a new metropolis challenging Chicago's dominance over the Midwestern states, this bright miasmic grouping is really a loose collection of innumerable camps that have popped up around perpetually pumping oil derricks in the Bakken region since the beginning of the North Dakota oil boom in 2008.
That gusher created a big recruiting challenge for oil companies: How do you get people to move to a remote region like North Dakota to staff such a large workforce? How does a company persuade people to move to a location so isolated?
According to experts, the trick when recruiting for off-the-grid work locales is to think local. Matt Grove, principal consultant with Recruiting Toolbox Inc., an advisory firm based in Redmond, Washington, likes to target candidates who grew up in a rural environment when recruiting for a job in a remote area. Appealing to an individual's nostalgic or romantic notions of living a more pastoral life can make a job more enticing, he said.
"The most important thing is to really think through the psychological aspect to help people understand what their quality of life will be like," said Grove, who believes remote recruiting will play an essential role in talent acquisition for decades as the country focuses on becoming more energy independent.
"Let's face it, they aren't going to drill for oil or build a wind farm in the middle of New York City or Chicago," he said.
Geologists have known about the abundance of oil and natural gas in North Dakota for decades, but until recently it was too difficult to access because it's trapped in a large shale formation beneath the surface. Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as "fracking," changed all that.
Fracking is the process of using high pressure to inject a mixture of water, sand and chemicals into a shale formation to create cracks that will release trapped oil or natural gas.
The process has become controversial in recent years for reasons such as the environmental and health concerns of people living in areas being fracked because of the chemicals used in the process. It has nonetheless proven to be a lucrative practice for oil and natural gas companies — and for the state of North Dakota, whose unemployment rate sits at 3.3 percent, less than half the national rate.
There are an estimated 7 billion barrels of oil and 6.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas under North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. That vast amount of oil and gas can't exactly extract itself, so oil companies drilling in the region need a massive workforce.
Oil rig jobs are plentiful, but they aren't the only positions companies need to fill in the area. Online searches show these oil companies need all types of workers to make their operations run smoothly: truck drivers, rail workers, engineers, geologists, administrative assistants and human resources officers are all in demand.
Ray Gonzales, vice president of HR at Continental Resources Inc., said his company likes to hire locally for entry-level positions and then promote from within.
According to Gonzales, Oklahoma City-based Continental drilled the first oil well in the Bakken shale and is the largest lease holder in the region. He said only 10 percent of the potential sites have been drilled so far, which means the oil boom in the state is in its infancy, and Continental isn't leaving anytime soon. As a result, the company has become "totally involved in the community" of the region, Gonzales said, which pays off when it comes to recruiting in the area.
Continental Resources operates 200 rigs in the Bakken region, Gonzales said. It sent geologists and employees based in Oklahoma City who negotiate drilling leases with private-property owners to establish those sites, but most of the people who operate them are contracted employees from around the area. And many of the other 150 safety and environmentally focused positions — usually staffed by engineers — were filled by recruiting students from universities around the broader region such as Montana Tech of the University of Montana, Gonzales said.
The recruiting tactics used by Continental are similar to those of Raytheon Co., an American defense contractor based in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Expanding Overseas
Raytheon is expanding its operations overseas, said Keith Peden, Raytheon's senior vice president of HR and security. When establishing a new location in a foreign country, the company first sends ex-pats to get the operation off the ground. Then, like Continental, Raytheon looks to the local population to expand its workforce.
Foreign nationals are carefully hired because of the sensitive nature of the work, and gradually those employees are promoted to management positions, Peden said.
One of the challenges of establishing these foreign locations is persuading employees to live abroad, Peden said. Raytheon's ex-pat assignments typically last only a few years, and such assignments usually lead to accelerated career development, he said. But a great career opportunity isn't always enough to sway reluctant employees. "We sell the position by telling them, 'Building a career is a continuum of experiences,' " Peden said.
Raytheon's approach isn't too different from that of Recruiting Toolbox's Grove, who specialized in recruiting people to small towns before joining the company. Besides tapping local populations, he makes the case that taking a job in a remote location can be a wise career move. He understands that selling an opportunity in a remote location can be difficult.
"Sometimes you've got to convince people to work in places they never dreamed of working," he said.

Caring for Your Lawn & Landscaping During Summertime Drought Conditions – The Garage Plan Shop
Summertime drought conditions can cause havoc for your lawn, garden, trees, and other landscaping. Below are a few tips to help beat the heat and keep your green spaces looking vibrant, healthy and strong:
- Plants: An easy way to protect plants in dry conditions is to use mulch around them. Experts suggest using three to four inches of organic mulch around plants to lock in moisture and prevent water loss due to evaporation. Mulch also prevents soil compaction, reduces soil temperature, and prevents weeds that use up valuable water.
- Lawn: The more compact your soil is the more water will be lost from evaporation. It is a good idea to aerate your lawn from time to time and water the lawn slowly with some type of sprinkler system or a simple lawn and garden sprinkler.
- Trees: Your tress should be your top priority. When in good health, they create a shaded canopy over your lawn keeping it cooler and less "thirsty" for water. Experts suggest drilling several holes in the soil around the base of the tree. The holes should be at least 24 inches deep. Fill them with compost. This will help water penetrate the ground more easily and reach the tree's roots more efficiently.
- Bugs & Pests: Keep an eye on your lawn and other vegetation for bugs and other pests that might find their ways into your lawn, garden, etc., in search of food during drought conditions. Contact a local exterminator or seek professional advice from a lawn and garden center about killing or removing these pests.
- Conserve Water: Water your plants and lawn early in the morning when you'll lose less water to evaporation. Make your own rain barrel and collect roof water from downspouts. Use this water before you turn on the hose. Also, water your lawn slowly using a sprinkler, allowing the water to soak into the ground. This will prevent water from sitting on top of the soil where it will simply evaporate.
Following these handy tips will help keep your lawn and landscaping healthy, green and strong through summertime drought conditions.

Dear Friends,
Installed the latest Zimbra Desktop 7.1.2 Build 10978 onto a desktop PC and a notebook PC both running Win7 Ultimate 64bit.
Already setup multiple email accounts on the desktop PC (Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) and want to simply export/import or transfer these same accounts into the Zimbra running on the notebook PC, without having to re-create the same multiple accounts all over again.
How can this be done?
Read through many of this forum's topics, searched, etc. and can't find anything that answers this or actually works. I've used both the export function and the backup function, saved all the .tgz files properly (eg. Zimbra Exported Rand Hotmail All Folders Settings-2011-11-10-105212.tgz)
After re-creating one account on the notebook PC to just use the software normally, I went into Import/Export, but one can only import into the Local Folders Import/Export section. This doesn't re-create any email accounts that can be synced.
I went to the Restore from Backup function but there's no option to browse where the backups are stored to restore anything. I've even tried copying the same folders from within Zimbra on the desktop PC, completely closing Zimbra on the notebook PC, then pasting those folders into the same Zimbra location, etc. Nothing happens except having identical folders on both computers, but Zimbra won't display the same multiple accounts.
Again, how do you transfer/import/export/backup/restore accounts you've already created in one Zimbra Desktop to another computer running the same Zimbra Desktop?
It should be very simple to do, instead of manually re-creating all these email accounts once again on another computer running the same Zimbra Desktop 7.1.2 Build 10978.
Any help would be appreciated. Please email me directly email@example.com
Many thanks...

Dinara Safina has becomes Maria "Shriek"apova's worst nightmare on red clay.
In a match reminiscent of their 2006 French Open encounter, Maria gave up a 5-2 lead in the second set and in the set's tiebreak and also a match point to end her dream of a career Grand Slam this year falling 7-6 (6), 6-7 (5), 2-6 to her countrywoman. At the same stage in 2006, Dinara overcame a 1-5 deficit in the third set to win their match 7-5, 2-6, 7-5.
The Berlin champ will now battle spandex-loving Elena Dementieva for a spot in the final four.
Neither one of these women are great movers or defenders, so I wonder what it is about Dinara that gets into Maria's head on clay?

Mooresville, NC (09-06-2010) – NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points leader Todd Bodine drove the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra to the fifth-consecutive Toyota victory this season, 11th overall. The win, Bodine's fourth after 17 races, marks the first time the Germain Racing team had been able to overcome wildly bad luck at Kentucky Speedway to pull off the win. Friday night's win was not without its extra excitement, but, Bodine and the No. 30 crew utilized their "never give up" motto and came out on top.
"The first person I have to thank is Kyle Busch for getting me spun out which gave us the opportunity to get gas. That's why we won the race. We had a great truck, don't get me wrong, our Toyota Tundra was incredibly fast," explained Bodine after taking his 21st Truck Series victory. "When I got up behind Kyle (Busch), we got aero tight, which that's what happens in Truck Series racing. I backed off kind of riding there trying to keep the right front out in clean air and to wait for later. Low and behold we got sucked around, got some fuel and here we are in victory lane. This is awesome. I have to thank all the fans -- Kentucky fans here are awesome. Everybody watching on SPEED - thank you. This Toyota Tundra is awesome. I'm happy we could get the win just next to Germain Motor Company's home state of Ohio."
Kentucky Speedway is a track that has confounded the No. 30 team of Germain Racing. In the team's last visit to the track, for example, the team was leading the race and experienced a rare rear end gear failure. The year before that, they recovered from an early flat tire only to be spun out by Ron Hornaday Jr. in a situation similar to Friday night's incident with Busch on lap 81.
"I have to tell you, for a minute, when we spun, I thought we were in big trouble. To spin out in front of the field and only have minor damage was amazing. But, I was worried. I thought, 'We're at Kentucky, with another great Germain.com Tundra, and, in a flash, we're right back where we have been at this track so many times.' To come out of here with a win for Toyota, for the Germain's, for our No. 30 crew, it feels wonderful. It truly does," said crew chief Mike Hillman Jr.
Bodine led twice on Friday night for a total of 18 laps. His win marks the 22nd victory for Germain Racing and his 21st in the Truck Series. All of Bodine's Truck Series wins have come behind the wheel of the No. 30 Tundra for Germain. He maintains the Truck Series championship points lead with a staggering 261-point margin.
Friday's win marked the first time in 22 victories that all three Germain brothers, Bob, Steve and Rick, were together, trackside, for the celebration.
"It was fun to have both my brothers here. It was a lot of fun and I'm very proud of Todd, Mike and the whole team. We've got a great team this year. The pit crew does a wonderful job. To have all of us here tonight was a lot of fun," explained Steve Germain, who hails from nearby Columbus, OH.
The Truck Series has a week off before heading to Loudon, NH and on to Las Vegas – two more tracks where the team has yet to score a victory. Of Bodine's four wins this season, three have come at tracks that previously hadn't seen a Germain Racing Tundra in their winner's circles.

A man who went underwater on a fishing trip this week at Cape Lookout National Seashore and has not been found has been identified as a Burlington businessman.
The Coast Guard suspended the search Tuesday for missing fisherman Bill Vestal pending any further developments.
While Vestal�s address was not available from the Coast Guard, the Times-News in Burlington reported that Vestal is a Burlington businessman.
Dave Stevenson of Stevenson Vestal has a message posted on the company website that Vestal has been lost in a �tragic fishing accident.� He said he and Vestal had been business partners for 27 years.
�Bill Vestal always lived life to the fullest. He was great fun to be around. He worked hard yet greatly enjoyed his family and his friends. He was the most creative engineer I ever met and he had an enthusiasm for engineering creativity that was absolutely inspiring if not infectious. He inspired all of us who worked with him and his life will continue to inspire us,� Stevenson wrote.
�Bill was like a brother to me and I loved him like a brother. He will be greatly missed.�
Vestal was last seen going under water while surf fishing Monday evening at Cape Lookout National Seashore in Carteret County.
The Coast Guard said Carteret County 911 dispatch contacted Sector North Carolina watchstanders about 5:15 p.m. Monday and reported that a man went underwater and did not resurface.
Cape Lookout National Seashore official Wouter Ketel said Vestal was part of a group fishing at the southern end of North Core Banks at Old Drum Inlet. A preliminary report indicated that he apparently stepped into deeper water, causing his waders to fill with water.
The Coast Guard conducted a search by boat and helicopter and park service personnel searched the beaches.
The search has been suspended for a fisherman who was last seen going underwater while surf fishing Monday evening at Cape Lookout National Seashore in Carteret County.
Coast Guard Sector North Carolina said Tuesday evening that the search has been suspended pending any further developments.
The missing angler has been identified as Bill Vestal, 57, but the Coast Guard did not indicate his hometown.
�Our thoughts and prayers are with Vestal�s family,� said Cmdr. Timothy Cummins, the acting commander of Coast Guard Sector North Carolina, via the news release. �Suspending a search and rescue case is one of the hardest decisions we have to make.�
The Coast Guard searched for approximately five hours, traveling 126 nautical miles covering 35 square nautical miles searching for Vestal.
According to the Coast Guard, Carteret County 911 dispatch contacted Coast Guard Sector North Carolina watchstanders at approximately 5:15 p.m. Monday and reported that a man went underwater while fishing and did not resurface.
Page 2 of 2 - Cape Lookout official Wouter Ketel said that the man was part of a group fishing at the southern end of North Core Banks at Old Drum Inlet.
According to the preliminary report, the angler apparently stepped into deeper water, causing his waders to fill with water.
Park rangers assisted with the search from land as the Coast Guard searched by boat and helicopter.
After receiving the report, Sector North Carolina issued an urgent marine information broadcast and dispatched crews aboard a 47-foot Motor Life Boat from Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City.
On Tuesday there a helicopter conducted an air search while the National Park Service conducted a shoreline search.

I am researching Zimbra and have not yet attempted to use/install it. When reading the general documentation on Zimbra, it appears that there is some sort of reliance on vSphere/vCenter to Zimbra virtual appliance. But looking thru the install guides I did not see where Zimbra appliance was asking for vCenter ID/password or other vCenter configuration steps. Can someone answer the question about the actual requirements between Zimbra and VMware vCenter?

Royals Introduce Reliever Yabuta
Yasuhiko Yabuta has been a member of the Royals for only a day, but already he knows the right things to say to fit in with Kansas City fans.
When KC Star writer Bob Dutton asked if Yabuta had heard about or tried Kansas City barbecue yet, Yabuta smiled and, through his interpreter Kaz Kojima, responded with a strong: "I love it."
In a make-shift interview room on the second floor of the Plaza Marriott, the Royals introduced Yabuta Thursday afternoon. (Due to the renovations at Kauffman Stadium, the press conference had to move off site and thankfully the Marriott had space available.) But before facing the local media for the first time, the Japanese-born reliever apparently was treated to a BBQ-themed dinner Wednesday evening in celebration of signing with the team, enjoying his first "real" taste of KC.
For nearly an hour Thursday, local and Japanese media asked Yabuta, General Manager Dayton Moore and new Manager Trey Hillman – back in KC for just the second time since being named the club's skipper – to break down the club's new signing. The 34-year-old reliever, who will be playing in the United States for the first time in his 12-year professional career, is just the second Japanese-born player to appear for the Royals, joining Mac Suzuki (1999-2002). Yabuta, who wore No. 20 in Japan, sported a No. 27 Royals jersey for the press conference, citing he chose the number in honor of Royals pitcher Kevin Appier.
Now, with the signing, physical and press conference out of the way, Yabuta heads back to Japan until after the New Year, equipped with a pile of American baseballs to start working with (they are slightly different than Japanese baseballs) and a new Royals cap!
Konichiwa, Yabuta, welcome to Kansas City!

Donors Provide Webcams in the NICU
When Aedan Kehoe was born five weeks early, weighing 4 pounds, 2 ounces, he needed the specialized care provided in the Sanford Health Partners Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Michael and Alisha, Aedan's parents, were relieved he was able to receive the care he needed to so close to home. However, when Alisha went home a few days later, Aedan still needed the care and monitoring of the NICU nurses and staff.
"Although we knew Aedan was receiving great care, leaving him in the NICU was so hard," Alisha said. "We expected to bring him home right away. We hadn't imagined what it might be like not to be able to hold him or see him whenever we wanted."
The Kehoes were ecstatic when the NICU nurses mentioned the new NICU webcams – made possible by gifts from Sanford Health Foundation supporters. Michelle Stachowski, a registered nurse in the NICU, said the webcams help parents with bonding, managing the stress and anxiety of not having baby home with them and providing the peace of mind of being able to log-in and see their babies at any time. "It has especially impacted the mothers of babies who are transferred here from other locations," Stachowhowski said. "In the past, it may have been two to three days before some of those parents would have been able to see their babies."
Families like the Kehoes can set up the private, password-protected video stream of their babies with the NICU nurses and schedule times to view their baby that don't interfere with any procedures or care.
"We can see him stretch and wiggle," Michael said. "Seeing him helps bring him home, even though he can't be with us."

Given the ClamAV issue, it seemed I had no choice but to upgrade, so, I upgraded from 5.0.16 to 5.0.23.
This appeared to go smoothly, however, once the update was complete, I was unable to start mailbox. Specifically, zmcontrol start completes without any error messages, but zmcontrol status shows nothing running. I've got no extra server running, and nothing binding to any of the common ports.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Summary:Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and - if he has his way - every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters, who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart.

Hi all
I have a strange problem with my aliases.
If have multiple domain names.
When I first set up zimbra, I configured everything with my ".be" domain. Some time after we got a ".eu" extension, and we decided to use this by default.
This was with version 4.0.3 I believe.
First I added the ".eu" domain in the admin console, then added aliases in ".eu" for all my accounts in ".be" (there where only a dozen or so, so it was OK).
It started to be annoying when I got more users to create, so I checked the wiki/forum and found the article about domain aliases.
I added this alias, and everything was perfect for some time.
I could still create aliases to my users in ".eu", and that was great because I wanted them to be able to login with this domain name.
I upgraded to 4.5.3 some weeks ago. Since then, I cannot create aliases in ".eu" anymore. The "domain.eu" is not in the list when I try to create an alias !
It is not in the list of my domains in the admin console either. I I try to add it there, I get a "Domain already exists" error !
I checked with zmprov, and the ".eu" domain is still there as an alias to my ".be" domain.
What I really need is the ability for users to log in with the ".eu" extension, otherwise they don't understand why they have an address in ".eu" and a login in ".be" !
How can I go back to the old behaviour ?
Note than the old user aliases in ".eu" are still there under the "aliases" menu ! I just can't create new ones anymore !
Thanks a lot for helping !

Sunny Malaga has something for everyone. Choose from our deals on flights and create your perfect Mediterranean holiday for less.
Often seen as a gateway to the popular areas of the Costa del Sol and Andalucía. And it's easy to see why with stunning mountain ranges to the north, Mediterranean beaches to the south, and a scattering of whitewashed villages and golf courses to allure. Yet, Malaga should not be overlooked.
Immerse yourself in the history and culture of Malaga – one of the world's oldest cities and the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. Europe's southernmost city is overflowing with stunning architecture and museums showcasing Malaga's rich past. Stroll through the cobbled streets and little chinitas, where local bars and restaurants vie for your attention. Be tempted by a delicious tapeo and then another -– try some pescito frito (fried fish) or some barbecued sardines, washed down with an aperativo. A glass of sweet Malaga wine, chilled with ice, is often the perfect accompaniment. Then find an Abyssinia, where you can listen to live music and while the night away.

Relax on one of the beaches, watch a horse show or tee off at one of the 70 golf courses located around the Costa del Sol.

Nerja is flanked by a dramatic mountain range. Admire stunning views from Sierra Almijara, then visit the 'prettiest village in Andalucia' – Frigiliana, also important from an historical viewpoint as it was the scene of the final defeat of the Moors during their rebellion.
This beach resort, known as 'the old town', is located halfway along the coast between Malaga and Gibraltar. Some of our upmarket exclusive hotels are located here, including the Kempinski Hotel Bahia.

Neon Stream
Blandly glowing strings of letters in chemical colors call forth endless memories of bars and restaurants, of beer and hot dogs, of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, the acme of neon. Gas-filled, bent-glass tubing creates the familiar letterform; even weight and deliberate curves combine oddly with wild and challenging colors that flag funky urban pleasures. Leslie Cabarga's NeonStream evokes the Art Deco glamour of it all; FB 1995

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland's convention and visitors bureau is launching a new effort to improve the city's image and make it easier for people to navigate its streets to find its attractions.
Officials say the aim of the Seamless Cleveland campaign is to improve the perception of the city and attract more tourism.
David Gilbert, the president of Positively Cleveland, the area's tourism bureau, tells The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/14l4XUN ) that the project wants to maximize recent big investments such as the city's new casino and convention center. He says visitors need to know where the attractions are and how to get there.
Last month, the bureau announced a program to train cab drivers, bartenders, concierges, waiters and others who interact with travelers to become better ambassadors for the city.

Dustin Dwyer · Which States Do Young People Like Best? Not The Ones You Think.
February 27th, 2012
We admit it, we've been a little poll-obsessed lately. But last week, a poll caught our attention that had nothing to do with the upcoming GOP primaries in Michigan and Ohio. The poll was done by Public Policy Polling and it basically ranks U.S. states based on popularity.
Turns out, the Midwest didn't do so hot. No Midwestern states were in the top 10, and Illinois had one of the lowest scores of all states. But buried deep in the data, we noticed that opinions of states varied hugely depending on who was being polled. And, since we spend a lot of time in the Midwest talking about how to attract young people, we wondered how the poll results would be different if you just looked at people aged 18-29. So we put together some charts. As you can see, the results are a little surprising. Tennessee? Really?

This is the shot of the first few minutes of my first solo ocean voyage. I don't even have the sail cover off because I'm just intending to anchor across the way there.

OK, this is the actual first picture, as I'm motoring out of the San Carlos marina. You can see the tetas in the background.

I am a taco stand-aholic. Street food or roadside food in general is how I prefer to eat out. This place is right off the highway south of Nogales. I order 1/2 grilled chicken and it comes with tortillas, beans, a hunk of avocado, an assortment of salads, and that trio of salsas shown in the center of the picture. That and a bottle of cold coke makes a great lunch or dinner. I actually ate the leftovers for dinner later that night sitting in Singmeaway while it was attached to my truck in the marina seca work area. A kind night watchman let me just park the rig inside for the night even though I hadn't yet registered or met him.

I have three sailboats, well actually just two at the moment - I am in the process of buying the third - the Catalina 36. The first sailboat I owned (I have sailed many that I didn't own) was purchased used in 2006. It is a Hobie One 12 foot single hull single sail centerboard type. The picture below is of the Hobie on its trailer overlooking Lake Pleasant in Arizona. They used to be called Holder 12 before Hobie bought the design and changed the name. It is a good looking, peppy, nicely powered planing hull that can get going really fast. I've capsized in strong winds. There is no reefing so when the wind comes up, it's hang on for dear life and usually a spectacular crash not long thereafter. I've been trailering it to the various lakes in my state and taking pictures of each sailing adventure for a book I am writing called "Sailing Arizona." Arizona has a surprisingly large amount of lakes for our location thanks to dams and other management. I have to admit most of the time I've sailed in Arizona the wind has either been not enough or too much. There have been occasions where I've gotten some pretty good sailing in, but usually its either gusty or nothing. Still, I keep the Hobie One on its trailer in my garage and tow it behind a truck or motor home to "bag a lake" whenever I get the gumption to go on such an adventure. I've bagged like 8 lakes out of the 30 or so in Arizona worth sailing. The second boat [behind me in the picture above] is a 1985 Catalina 25 acquired in early 2007. I was up at Lake Pleasant outside of Phoenix (one of the 30 worth sailing) shopping for sailboats with my cousin at the Sailboat Shop. Nothing in their inventory inspired me. We went to leave. As we drove away, we saw a beautiful sailboat with white sails up in the parking lot sitting on a double axle trailer. Sure enough, there was a For Sale sign on the boat. I inquired. He said I probably wouldn't be right for the boat but invited us up the ladder for a look inside. It looked clean and cozy and reasonably roomy. A bit of teak and some nice features like a stereo with speakers inside and out. This boat was much nicer than anything at the retail outlet. I bought Singmeaway by phone as I drove back to the highway. The owner Scott and I spent months afterwards meeting on weekends at Lake Pleasant to teach me how she worked and how to operate her safely. Valuable lessons. I learned how to reef from Scott, among other crucial cruising skills. Scott kept the boat on Arizona lakes for all of its life. I aimed to take her to the Sea of Cortez. Scott was not particularly pleased about that and tried to discourage me numerous ways. After the training was over I arranged for about 3 weeks of vacation in May of 2007, went up to Phoenix, picked up the boat, trailered her to Tucson, spent the night at home, and trailered her to San Carlos, Mexico. It took a few days to rig and provision and I was off. Sailed to Guaymas on that first trip and back. Then went home to Tucson for a week, came back, and took a much longer trip to Kino bay, across the Sea of Cortez through the Midriff islands, and back. Awesome. I'll eventually share the pictures with some more details. Well, things kept progressing in my mind and one day I just went and did it. I found the boat that felt right on the internet, called the owner, and began buying a 1995 Catalina 36 MkII. It's quite a step up. Not a full-on blue water cruiser, but a well respected coastal cruiser that is moderately priced and well equipped for a variety of conditions. I'm leaving for final inspection and purchase a week from today. If I buy, I will be sailing it down the intercoastal waterway for three weeks of October vacation before mooring or dry-docking it and flying home from wherever I stop. I'll keep you posted.

I've always wanted to name a sailing boat Lemon's Way in honor of my grandfather, Leonard Rofey of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, may he rest in peace; but I was worried people would think I was referring to the quality of the boat rather than the quality of my Pupup. Lemons was his nickname referring to his once golden yellow hair. Pupup (as I call him) may never have stepped foot on a sailboat, but what I'm trying to honor by the title of this sailing blog is his spirit of living for the day and not being willing/able to settle for a mundane life of daily toil. He worked during his life, just like I have, but in the end Pupup didn't have much to show for it. Nevertheless, there was another more adventurous side of Lemons. Not adventurous like sailing around the world. He and his cronies were the last of the old school east coast city hustlers who lived large, gambled big, skirted the edge of the law, and eventually found themselves in their 70s sharing toasted rye bread and decaf coffee at the donut shop each day before car pooling to the race track in search of that old feeling not quite possible to achieve through $2-$15 bets. If you asked him, Pupup never did worse than break even after a day of gambling on the horses. I'll try to employ the same attitude in this sailing blog. Anyway, Pupup's vice is a lot like sailing, except that ocean sailing is probably less economically sound than throwing an equivalent amount of money away over the years on the daily double and the trifecta. So even if in the end I have nothing of substance to show for it, at least I'll have this blog so that friends, family, and any interested dreamers can join my sailing adventures.

|2013 Relay for Life event moves to Haxtun
|Written by Darci Tomky
The Relay baton was handed off to Haxtun this year when the Phillips County Relay For Life event moved to the Haxtun Baseball Field for the all-night walk Friday-Saturday, June 7-8.
Holyoke and Haxtun teams set up campsites and made the trek around the track along the ball field in their mighty effort to raise funds for cancer research with the American Cancer Society.
Preliminary totals reported Phillips County collected $28,446.98 after months of fundraising events, culminating in the June Relay.
Cancer survivors release purple balloons to kick off the 2013 Relay For Life at the Haxtun Ball Field. Carrying the banner are Bill Harris and his daughter Kelli Lightsey. A breast cancer survivor, Lightsey spoke to the crowd about her experiences, encouraging others to stay strong in their fight with cancer.
Phillips County celebrated "Decades of Hope" this year as the American Cancer Society was recognized for their 100th anniversary. Each team represented a decade, with everything from tie dye and flapper dresses to Kiss look-a-likes and poodle skirts.
Festivities kicked off at 6 p.m. with the opening ceremonies and a welcome from event chair Abby Henry as well as Jeff Plumb.
Breast cancer survivor Kelli Lightsey of Haxtun took the stage to tell her story. Even though she told about her cancer treatments and breaking her leg, her good attitude and funny stories had the crowd laughing, because "you see, we lived through this whole thing with a lot of humor," she said.

Cancer definitely changed Lightsey's life, especially for someone who didn't want to slow down and take the time she needed for doctor's appointments and treatments, but she said she was "relieved" it was her this time and not one of her family members. Their family motto is, "Everything happens for a reason."
"Miracles happen every day.That's the point of raising these funds," said Lightsey, noting how close research is to finding a cure for cancer.
She left the audience with a quote by Martin Luther King Jr.: "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."
Lightsey and her dad, Bill Harris, led survivors—clad in purple shirts—in the cancer survivor lap around the Relay track. Teams and community members showed their support of those who have fought or who are fighting cancer.
Following Relay's "Decades of Hope" theme, Grainland's Rick and
Teams showed off their Relay spirit in the team parade to kick off the walking which lasted through the night until the Relay concluded at 7 a.m.
Supper was served by The Dutch Oven and R&B Catering while the Haxtun Lions Club and Bar Lo Café cooked up breakfast.
A 9 p.m. luminaria ceremony included a silent memory lap around the track and the reading of names in memory and in honor of those who have had cancer.
Activities like taste-testing of food from different decades, Wii games and "Minute To Win It" competitions kept teams active through the wee hours of the morning.
Josh Turney took first-place honors in the Mr. Relay competition for the Points West Community Bank Team, and the winner of Relay Idol was Brianna McFadden.

Other activities during the all-night Relay included Relay Idol vocal
Honors for best campsite went to Haxtun Hospital, while Rockin' Out Cancer took the prize for best team in the parade.
Grainland Co-op was recognized for raising the most money at $2,865.
Other preliminary team totals include Bank of Colorado $2,170.69, National Junior Honor Society $1,815.89, Haxtun Lions Club $1,375, Haxtun FFA $1,304.93, Rockin' Out Cancer $1,300.09, PC Telcom $1,225.50, Haxtun T-shirt and Trophy Shop $1,070.70, Points West Community Bank $1,046.57, Team Awesome $1,000, Seaboard $899, Prairie IT's Virtual Walkers $657.13, Team Barnburners $492, CHC $410, Haxtun Hospital $67.03.
Other teams included Haxtun Student Council and Melissa Memorial Hospital.
