Apple sucks. Very little customize-ability. They have turned you into sheep telling you that the grass field you eat from is the best, but you can't see anything else.
Once again, apple sucks. I don't know why you are making this difficult on yourself.

i have my own observation...
An apple has always tempted mankind ... from the begning ...
Also i think there are some hidden messages in I products ... astagfirullah ... do not take my words wrong or to be an extremism ... i know they things that i tell looks alianish to people .... but once even apply ur brains ... inshaAllah...
do u know what is the basic sign of dajjal and what is the main platform ???
did any one ever think y only I <-- can also be eye ..... if u even see from other angel ... I makes u selfish .... U think its just I and I and I ... obsessed with I...
I have observed in the recent time when i was in other country that people like flocks walk with this I products .... they dont even know what is going around them... all the time they are into look in that screens ... and with those head phones .... subhanAllah... no much communication ....
if i keenly obseved it u know what its like .... u know ur given something which has everything in it ... from good to bad ... believe it or not .... fine now people do not need to go any where and just get whatever they want in the I products .... and u know someone may be telling salaam to u in the I product and if there is a muslim beside u they wont even look at u .... subhanAllah ... and the same with the person who is beside ... there is so much communication lacking ... a person being side by side and still they believe in "I" ... a level of shelfishness i see in it ....
Also, u know i however feel that these people are already captured with there gadgets .... believe me .. if u take that I thing u can see what real beauty is .... in this world .... u know i am enable to express what i exactly mean .... Allahu Alim ...
its kind of controlling individuals .... and this is the easiest way to u know control human minds ....

A person who wants to gain islamic knowledge is also so involeved in it .. that he just listens coz he is interested but when will he practice ...

About Mountain House
During the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense put out a request for food that tasted better, lasted longer and weighed less than old K and C rations. Their parent company, Oregon Freeze Dry, responded to that request and won the contract. They immediately started making freeze dried food for the United States Special Forces. They have continued to make food for the United States Special Forces and other branches of the military ever since.
As the war began to wind down, Oregon Freeze Dry took the surplus rations to military surplus stores, where they rapidly sold out. It was then in 1968 they realized there was great consumer demand for freeze dried food and Mountain House was born.
Based on their ongoing sensory and nutrition testing of actual Mountain House products, in 2012 the shelf life was increased by an impressive 42%, from 7 years to 10 years! That's right -- their shelf life is at least 10 years from the date of manufacture as long as the pouch is stored unopened in a cool area. After 10 years a change in flavor and appearance may be noticed. Mountain House Employees have personally tasted pouches that were 30 years old and they still taste great. For best results, avoid prolonged storage at temperatures above 75° F (24° C).

Wishing everybody a restful and relaxing break from all your labors.
(the vineyards below Antica Napa Valley taken from the top of Atlas Peak)
If you're planning on having a hot dog this Labor Day weekend, what wine are you planning to have with it? (photo by TheBusyBrain)
This week on Serious Grape, my weeky column on Serious Eats, I suggest a few wines for your consideration. The thing about hot dogs is that they are both sweet and salty--and then a variety of sweet and savory condiments get piled on top.
Head over and check out my hot dog wines and if you have any other suggestions, leave them here or there in the comments section.
Have a good Labor Day!
In a recent post I highlighted the value represented by wines from Alsace. While most associate Alsatian wines with still Rieslings and Gewürztraminers, Alsace also makes terrific sparkling wines that can stand up to any rival in terms of taste, elegance, and price.
My latest recommendation in sparkling wine from Alsace is the very good QPR N.V. Lucien Albrecht Crémant d'Alsace Blanc de Blancs Brut (suggested retail $19.99; available in the market for $12-$23). Crafted from Pinot Blanc grapes, this sparkling wine had abundant yeasty, bread dough aromas. I liked the fine, lively bead and the light, effervescent foam that topped my glass. Both hinted at the delicacy of the flavors to come. When I tasted the wine I detected elegant pear, citrus, and brioche flavors.
An affordable sparkling wine like this one doesn't need to be saved for a special occasion. It would be excellent with potato chips before dinner, with some fried chicken or seafood for the main meal, or even with a fruity dessert.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
I've said before that Syrahs often taste like a color to me. Sometimes, they taste black with inky blackberry fruit and dark spices. Sometimes, they taste red, and are full of a the bright fruit of a summer berry patch. Then there are the blue syrahs, that remind me of cool walks by the ocean and huckleberries.
I recently had a "true blue" example of the grape: the 2006 Clos LaChance "Black-Chinned" Syrah from the Central Coast. (a new release with a suggested retail $18; available through AmericanWinery.com, and check soon with your local merchant) One of the bottlings from Clos LaChance's "Hummingbird" Series, this wine had luscious aromas of blueberry and huckleberry that evoked the forest and seaside summers. I loved the silky blueberry flavors that followed, as well as the roasted herb and toast undertow that lingered in the juicy aftertaste. This good QPR Wine was well made and nicely balanced.
This Syrah went wonderfully with homemade hamburgers, pan-fried in a skillet with a zesty horseradish sauce and some bacon-onion relish. Its cooling blueberry-inflected fruit was a nice counterpoint to the horseradish, and the meatiness of the burgers brought out the roasted, toasted flavors in the aftertaste.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
Today marks the final edition of the Wine Book Club, the online club for wine lovers who also love to read. Our selection was Ferenc Máté's excellent A Vineyard In Tuscany--part fantasy, part House Hunters: Italy, and part viticultural adventure. I picked Máté's book for our final book because so many wine lovers dream of becoming vineyard owners and winemakers. Máté lived that dream, and is a good writer, in addition. The result is a magical tale that transports you to the hills of Tuscany, introduces you to local characters and traditions, and makes you feel that you are right there to enjoy the experience with him and his wife.
My fellow readers agreed.
Wine Book Club stalwart Kori from the Wine Peeps describes the book as "your standard feel-good story of adversity and perseverance which ultimately results in a happy ending," but found that the "setting in the beautiful and romantic hills of Tuscany is what makes it special." Kori's been wanting to get to Italy, and this book "did nothing but reinforce my desire to make that trip." She recommends it to "anyone who loves Italian wine, is considering a trip to Italy, or who fantasizes about owning their own vineyard and winery."
Frank from the blog Drink What You Like likened the book to a "fairytale"--complete with "a famous wine making neighbor, [and] living in a historic structure in one of the most beautiful regions on earth." Still, what he appreciated were the "low-key moments of the book," which served to balance out the fairy tale and make it more real. Frank recommends the book as a humorous, quick read.
This month we were also joined by my friend Megan, the Wannabe Wino, who (though still in recovery from the massive amounts of reading she did in law school) agreed with Frank that the book was "a fairly quick read." She loved the home renovation and restoration aspects of the book as much as the descriptions of planting the vineyard and making the wine, but wished that there had been "a bit more info about the vineyards and how they chose to plant the grapes they did." And the book did nothing to diminish Megan's "seemingly impossible dream of someday owning my own vineyard!"
And, last but certainly not least, Jim the Vinegeek joined us this month. Jim's a relatively new blogger, who has been at it since June, and I'm glad that he joined in this month. Jim was drawn to Ferenc Máté's writing, and how it evoked the "sense of community with his neighbors and the various locals who help him with his rebuild and vineyard planting, and the connectedness to the land and the seasons." He wished that Máté was a bit less self-deprecating in his self-portrayal, however, and felt that he could (and should) be justifiably proud of what he achieved.
I'd like to extend a sincere thanks to everybody who supported this idea when I came up with it, and for Kori and Frank who were such dependable reading companions. I'm glad to have been part of the Book Club and rest assured there will still be lots of book reviews here on GWU$20.
According to the index of topics in the left sidebar, I've never reviewed a wine with Bourboulenc grapes in it. I'm sure I've tasted it before, but not since I started this blog.
Perhaps that's not too surprising. As best as I can make out, there are only about 2000 acres of the grape in cultivation. And the wine is mostly used in white blends, where it can be paired with Rhône varieties such as Roussanne and Marsanne. Bourboulenc has a lot of acidity, and can lighten and brighten white wines.
Recently I had a wine that included Bourboulenc grapes: the 2007 Château La Canorgue Côtes du Luberon Blanc from the southeastern Rhône ($18.00, domaine547). The wine had a lot of character and was made from a combination of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Marsanne, and Roussanne. It was round and full, but light and fresh at the same time--a fascinating set of contradictions. Aromas of pears, citrus, and flowers welcome you into the tastes, which are along a similar spectrum of white orchard fruits (apple, pear), citrus (lemon and a bit of bitter orange as the wine warms), and even some floral and mineral notes.This wine is organic and biodynamic as well, and delivers excellent QPR with its complexity and price point. If you like white Châteauneuf-du-Papes, but don't like paying the steep prices they often command in the market, this is the wine for you.
As an added bonus, this is one of the few wines that I've had that didn't clash with artichokes. We had it with the vegetarian-friendly Pasta with Almond-Herb Pesto and Artichokes. The round yet fresh flavor profile went nicely with the zesty herbs, ricotta cheese, tomatoes, and even the artichokes that went into this dish.
It's peach season--or at least that's the evidence from my local farmer's market. Nothing quite says late summer to me like some really ripe peaches, perhaps some vanilla ice cream, perhaps some meringues or madeleines, and a cool glass of dessert wine.
In the event this dessert suits you, too, and you don't have a stash of Sauternes begging to be opened,try to get your hands on some of the 2006 Bonny Doon Vineyard Le Vol des Anges Beeswax Vineyard ($25.50/375ml, club shipment from winery a few years back; still available in the market for $29-$33/750ml--but I'm dubious they're full bottles so check before you order).
I was very, very impressed with this wine, which was made from Roussanne grapes that had been blessed with "noble rot" or botrytis. While I often find US dessert wines much too sweet, and lacking in the acidity that brings balance to a wine, this bottling had a excellent balance. It also had a definite Sauternes-like aroma and flavor profile. The wine was a luscious deep gold in color with a satiny, slightly viscous texture. The aromas and flavors were very similar, with honey, quince, and candied lemon notes predominating. In spite of all that sweetness, there was a solid core of acidity that kept the wine from being too cloying. Kudos to Bonny Doon for this well-made wine that was worth every penny it cost. Though you may find dessert wines that are a tad cheaper, I have yet to have a domestic dessert wine this good for this price. Very good QPR.
So get yourself some peaches of other summer fruit, and treat yourself to an elegant dessert in the not too distant future. And if dessert wines are something you only drink at the holidays, nab some of this now while it's still available.
This week on Serious Grape, my regular column on Serious Eats, I've caught the back to school bug. (photo of the Scotland Street School in Glasgow by alexliivet--and is that a dunce cap in the front of the room?!)
My idea? Grape School. While your kids and neighbors kids are learning reading, writing, and arithmetic, why not learn about some new grapes? Why should kids have all the fun?
I've put together a list of twelve grape varieties that you may not be familiar with to take to your favorite wine store. Have them put together a mixed case so that you can have an interesting wine experience whenever the mood takes you this fall. Regular GWU$20 readers might want to look at the "extra credit" grape pick--it's one of my favorites, and it might become one of yours, as well.
So head over to Serious Eats and check it out. And as ever, if you have particular wines to recommend, please do so in the comments.
Friday Nights IN is a regular feature at GWU$20 that's intended to trim a few dollars from your entertaining budget by replacing a meal out with a meal in. Some suggestions are dinners for four, six, eight, or even ten. Some are for romantic dinners for two. And some suggestions are perfect for when you need time to yourself!
It's been a while since I've posted a Friday Nights IN suggestion, but if your life is like mine the days seem too short to get everything done, the kitchen is too hot to cook, and the idea of yet another something cooked on the grill is not that appealing. So my suggestion is to take a culinary trip to the Adriatic and Mediterranean with a meze platter and a wine from Italy's Veneto region.
First up, the food. Meze is not so much cooked as it is assembled--so it's perfect for single diners, couples, families, or starving masses. Anything goes really, but to get you started you can look at the suggestions in this recent Bon Appetit recipe. I know the hummus doesn't have Tahini in it, but after several goes at it we now prefer this flavorful, easy version. And the cucumber and feta salad is delicious. If you've got people coming for dinner who don't like to eat shrimp, buy a roasted chicken and have at that instead (or in addition). Add and subtract at will until you have just the right mix of flavors and textures to suit your palate.
Then, the all important issue of wine. With this meal you want a wine that is crisp but still has some body to it. It needs to be able to stand up to feta, not overwhelm the shrimp, pair nicely with the vegetables--you get the picture. In short, you want a good Soave, like the 2008 I Stefanini Il Selese Soave (MSRP $12.00; for more information contact the importer, Domenico Selections). This wine smells of summer, with lovely musk-melon aromas accompanied by some white floral and saline notes. This next observation will probably only resonate with those of you reading this from the UK, but the aromas reminded me particularly of elderflower cordial. Flavors of white peach, lemon, and bitter almond provide a nice point-counterpoint with the saline notes and the flowers and the wine has a juicy, lip-smacking aftertaste. This wine is terrific for the price and very distinctive. You'll be surprised Soave can be this good, and deliver such excellent QPR.
Full Disclosure: I received this wine as a sample.
I drink more white wine than red. I eat more fish than meat, more Asian cuisine than any other kind, and while I know it's perfectly fine to drink red wine with fish, I don't like the combination. And boy do we eat a lot of chicken. (picture of a wine store in Paris, taken this summer by yours truly)
Not surprisingly (given the chicken) I have a fair amount of Pinot Noir, Syrah, and red Rhone blends in the house--all of which I think taste great with bird.
But I've been organizing my wine, and I'm struck by how much Cabernet and Bordeaux blends I have. And when I get emails, I am always tempted to buy more. It's like a sickness. And I wonder why, because some of my favorite whites (Riesling, Chenin Blanc) age well.
Do your wine buying habits reflect your drinking habits? It's easy for your wine buying to get out of whack. The offers come to your mail box, you see a wine on the shelves and sometimes you don't stop to think "do I need this wine, or do I already have 27 bottles just like it--with no plans to drink them anytime soon?"
When was the last time you took stock of what you enjoy drinking, what you buy, and what you have on hand in your cellar? And do you have any tips to share on keeping your wine buying in line with your wine drinking?
Some joke that most Americans age their wine on the back seat of the car on the way home from the store. Talk about cellaring wine and people start to look anxious. They imagine that they'll no longer be interested in drinking a wine 5-7 years after they buy it. And if they don't have a wine fridge or a cellar, they wonder where they'd keep a bottle of wine for that long.
But what about short-term aging? I'm starting to become a real fan of storing most red wines for 1-3 years. This falls far short of what most people mean when they talk about "cellaring" wine, but it has advantages. It tends to soften a wine's edges; it tends to bring out nuances in the wine beyond just its fruit; and it gives the wine a lushness that isn't always there when it's young.
Here's my latest experience with short-term aging. Two years ago, on a nice August day in 2007, I visited the Navarro Winery tasting room and sipped some 2004 Navarro "Méthode à l'Ancienne" Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley. Here's what my tasting note said: "Nuts, earth, and mushroomy/truffley notes accent this Pinot with its core of bright acidity and its cherry fruit. I think it will age very, very nicely." So I bought a bottle for just under $25 and tucked it away.
This is what I tasted almost two years to the day later: "This has been in the cellar for 2 years, and is drinking even better now. Bright fruit is still present (cherry, blackberry), with integrated earthy and mushroomy flavors, a nice lashing of minerality, and the acidity has moderated somewhat resulting in a rich, flavorful, yet bright drinking experience. Everything new world Pinot Noir is supposed to be, for around $25. Exceptional QPR."
If you want to try your own "short-term aging" experiment, Navarro is currently selling the 2006 vintage in their "Favorite Six" Sampler--six wines for $127.00 + shipping. You do the math, but I think that works out to around $21 a bottle, and there are other treats in there, like Navarro's Riesling and Gewürztraminer that you can drink while you wait for your Pinot Noir. Or you can just get the 2006 Pinot Noir for $29/bottle.
I can't promise your results will be exactly the same as mine, but next time you buy a wine you like, get yourself another bottle and put it aside for a few years. Then you can see for yourself whether you prefer your wine aged on the back seat--or left for a few years beyond.
I like to think I'm not a wine snob, but I have to admit that I do look askance at 1.5ml bottles and 3li boxes of wine. And I don't buy much wine in that kind of large format size, either. I assume that its mass-produced, and not in a good way, with chemical aromas and uninspiring flavors.
So when the folks from Fish Eye poured their Pinot Grigio at the Wine Bloggers Conference a few weeks back I gave it the fish eye. I wasn't alone (names withheld to protect the guilty). But we all dutifully took a sip of the wine. Then it was true confessions time.
"This is really good," I muttered, sending out a quick tasting note on my phone.
"Wow. I didn't expect much from this but its really a nice Pinot Grigio," someone else agreed.
Everyone at the table was similarly keen on the wine--and similarly sheepish about their initial skepticism.
We were even more impressed when we discovered that the price for 750ml was around $7, and the price for the 1.5li was around $12. And they may be even less in your market.
This is not profound Pinot Grigio, but it is superbly drinkable Pinot Grigio with fresh lemon and apple aromas and flavors--and none of that horrible, acidic bitterness that made me swear off the stuff a few years back when it became everyone's favorite wine-by-the-glass selection. Excellent QPR for a quaffable wine that has the proper varietal characteristics and an appealing price sticker.
Get yourself a mess of shrimp and some cocktail sauce, toss a salad, buy the big bottle or box of Fish Eye Pinot Grigio and invite your neighbors over for dinner. It will be a perfect end-of-summer meal.
When rosés are good they're very, very good--but when they're bad they're horrible. Thankfully, I've had many good rosés this summer. And the one that I keep buying more of is the excellent QPR 2008 A to Z Wineworks Rosé ($12.49 from my local grocery store; $10 direct from the winery). This was one of those serendipitous discoveries. I wasn't looking for a rosé or any wine at all, to be honest. But there it was, sitting on the shelf in the supermarket.
What caught my eye at first was its deep rose color. Not magenta, not deep salmon--true rose. Oddly enough, this color is rare among rosés. So I took a bottle home and I've been hooked ever since.
The 2008 A to Z Wineworks Rosé is a lovely, full-bodied but dry rosé made from Sangiovese grapes. It has an intriguing mixture of fruit, herb, and vegetable flavors and aromas. Imagine a wine that combined raspberry, strawberry, parsley, and cucumber notes. Now imagine how refreshing and crisp that combination would be. That's exactly what this wine represented to me, and with the temperatures still high and the sun out it's a combination that seems to fit the way we're living now.
I wasn't familiar with A to Z Wineworks so I got on the 'net and did some surfing. They have a great website, and their motto is "Aristocratic wines at democratic prices." Standing behind the name is a dynamite team of Oregon's best winemakers, including Bill Hatcher (formerly of Domaine Drouhin), Sam Tannahill (formerly of Archery Summit), and Cheryl Francis (formerly of Chehalem). They make a full lineup of wines, including Pinot Noir, and not one of them retails for more than $20. So check them out and get a mixed case of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and other goodies to get you through the fall. And don't forget this great rosé. It's terrific now, and will be just as good with turkey sandwiches in November.
The heat is on and in an attempt to cool down, many of us are reaching for white wines that can take a bit of a chill and remain flavorful. It helps cool you down if the white wine in question has a zingy, refreshing array of aromas and flavors. Finding this kind of wine and sipping it after a long day can feel like imbibing a cool breeze.
If you're looking for such a wine, look no further than the 2008 Dry Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (available for $14-$19). This is a new take on an old favorite, since Dry Creek Vineyards have been making Sauvignon Blanc from Dry Creek Valley fruit since the early 1970s under the name "Fumé Blanc" in a nod to the Loire's white wines. Beginning with 2008, however, they are labeling the wine "Sauvignon Blanc."
The wine is a domestic Sauvignon Blanc that can hold its head up among zingy New Zealand bottlings, but has a bit more softness and is far less assertive. The juice never sees oak, and the softness in the wine comes from a small amount of Sauvignon Musqué that is added to the final blend. The wine has beautiful, luscious aromas of grass, hay, melon, and citrus. You will find the same notes in the flavors, with the melon and citrus taking a front seat which makes the wine very refreshing. The aftertaste takes those hay and grass notes and turns them herbal, and the freshness lingers nicely in your mouth.
I think if you tasted this blind, you might at first mistake it for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc--especially in its aromas. As the wine opens and the flavors develop, though, you get more melon and floral notes that add to the complexity. Excellent QPR.
This wine would be perfect with seafood, chicken, or salads--in short, the kinds of food we are all eating now as the Farmers Markets fill with produce and the prospect of turning on the stove seems very unappealing.
Kudos to the folks at Dry Creek Vineyards for breathing new life into an old favorite, and for showcasing all that the Dry Creek Valley has to offer in terms of quality and value.

Layoff Notice Expires; Ormet Keeps Working
January 21, 2013
HANNIBAL — Tom Byers is glad Ormet Corp. made it through 2012 without laying off nearly 1,000 employees, but he would like to see the 237 who are out of work return to their jobs....
The BLS data shows that layoffs in August of last year were 97694. There were 66,214 laid off in September and 97,390 in October. It appears that the jump to well above 200,000 was BECAUSE Obama was elected!
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
From the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Google Mass Layoff Statistics BLS);
Total initial claimants November 2009 - 164,496
November 2010 - 158,048
November 2011 - 127,750
November 2012 - 249,949
I guess those near 1/4 million people laid off on Nov 2012 all happened on the 3 working days before the vote!!
November was by far the biggest layoff month of the year. Where was the media scrutiny??
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Many CEOs who were not secure enough to announce definite lay-offs if Obama was re-elected faked doom & gloom in the run-up to the election. Most who announced definite lay-offs have backed-off without media scrutiny from the so-called liberal press since the election.

We're currently running our email infrastructure on the Debian postfix+cyrus packages. We are keen to deploy Zimbra, but I'd like to deploy it with a user-by-user migration strategy. In particular I need to keep our existing systems that we rely on, things like Request Tracker, and mailing lists.
Does this sound possible?
What I have envisaged is a frontend postfix server that routes messages to zimbra based on LDAP mail-routing. In this case the LDAP server would be our existing LDAP infrastructure, not a Zimbra deployed one. So I think it would be easy to deliver email for firstname.lastname@example.com to zimbra, but everything else to my existing mail server.
However I'm not sure what we'd do for things like firstname.lastname@example.com. I would certainly want that to continue going to our existing server, but I'd probably also want emails from the Zimbra server to go to that as well, for instance, for notification of AV alerts. I'm not sure how that would work.
I guess a way to achieve that would be to have Zimbra responsible for @zimbra.example.com email addresses, not for @example.com. Then it would know to route email@example.com away. However does Zimbra support this secondary sort of role? Am I going to easily be able to configure users so that email emerging from Zimbra is rewritten to @example.com addresses? Or am I starting to create problems for myself?

A man breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds
a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a
chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed the convict gets on top of
her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: 'Listen,
this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably
spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years.
I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't
complain..do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how he
nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry,
he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!'
His wife responds: 'He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my
ear. He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had
any Vaseline.
I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I Love you, too.'

one day a man walked into a hotel.
"excuse me,"he said."have you got any empty rooms?"
"yes we do"said the woman,"we have one room left,though i must warn you many people have entered that room and left screaming.They say it is haunted by a ghost."
"yeah,right.i'll take a look. As the man entered the room he heard the ghost moan,"i'm gonna eat your arms,your legs,your head and your body!"The man ran away screaming.
A few days later another man came to the hotel.there was still only one room left and he was forced to stay in the haunted room.the woman tried to warn him,but he didn't listen.He opened the door........."IM GONNA EAT YOUR ARMS YOUR LEGS YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BODY!" the man ran away and never came back.

Topic: Whislist for migration to iRedAdmin-Pro (MySql)
I'm going eventually to replace my current mailserver solution (free version of mailcleaner; mailcleaner.org) with iRedAdmin-Pro for MySQL backend, but missing a few features:
per domain configurable smtp-callout to an another system (if the domain is forwarded to another host)
per user/domain/server configurable archiving method which sends the messages without any adresschanges to another host:port
just like it is possible with amavisd for the whole server:
$archive_quarantine_method = 'smtp:[18.104.22.168]:2500'; #
# $archive_quarantine_to = 'archive-quarantine'; # rewrite local part of recipient address
$archive_quarantine_to = '%a'; # keep recipient address
@archive_quarantine_to_maps = (\$archive_quarantine_to);
$mailfrom_to_quarantine = undef; # undef keeps original sender
per user/domain/server configurable spam/quarantine reporting (with configurable mail teplates) and an user interface to release such messages
one button (and cmd) backup/restore for configuration and/or content to activate an already prepared standby system in a very short time
customer has several domains which all have the same settings and are all forwarded to the same mailbox server (i.e. ms-exchange)

Samantha Patterson found something Tuesday that's different than she's used to: Relaxation.
"I was definitely better than usual," said the Rifle High first baseman, whose 4-for-4 performance at the plate paced the Bears to a 13-4 home win against Delta. "I'm usually pretty tense at the plate. This was a pretty relaxing day."
Her outing at the plate helped the Bears (8-4-1 overall) cruise past the Panthers (5-5), who watched Rifle send 10 batters to the plate in the first inning during its five-run opening frame. In all, the Bears pounded out seven hits - four for extra bases - en route to the convincing victory.
"I'm liking this much better," longtime Rifle coach Cindy Skinner said. "We were making a lot of low swings and getting under the ball a lot in some of our other games. I was real pleased with the changes our players displayed today."
Patterson, who goes to school at Meeker High, also had three RBIs, two of which came on a two-run double that drove in Taylor Morris and Emily Neuroth to give the Bears an 8-3 lead in the second inning. Also coming through at the plate for Rifle was Emma Speer, who went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and four RBIs.
Patterson, however, likes the way her new approach at the plate is working.
"Usually I try to be so much better of a hitter when I'm up there, and I always end up getting caught up in that and hit bad," she said. "Today, I just focused on hitting the ball and nothing else."
Katlyn Davis finished 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI for the Panthers, who also had seven hits. Her double in the second inning sparked a three-run inning for Delta, but the Panthers could come no closer.
Rifle continues its schedule on Friday at Montrose, then comes closer to home to face Grand Valley in Parachute at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Rifle boys golf team qualifies for state
The Montezuma-Cortez boys golf team won a tie-breaking playoff hole to claim the championship of the Class 4A Western Slope Regional Golf Championships at Conquistador Golf Club on Tuesday.
Both the Panthers and Bears finished with identical team scores of 226, but Cortez prevailed by a stroke on the lone playoff hole. Kyler Smith of Palisade earned medalist honors, finishing with a 2-under 70.
Rifle, with its second-place finish, automatically qualified as a team for the Class 4A State Championships, and was led by senior Triston Quigley, who finished three strokes with a team-best 73. Ty Caron had a 74 and Danny Bartels carded a 79, with Teig Hauer adding a 90.
The state tournament will be held Oct. 1 and 2 at Cobble Creek Golf Course in Montrose.
Battle Mountain cruises past
Rifle boys soccer team
EDWARDS - Battle Mountain scored early and often in its 9-3 Class 4A Western Slope League triumph over the Rifle boys soccer team, jumping to a 5-0 lead by half-time.
Marco Gutierrez scored both of his goals in the second half and Miguel Navarro also found the net for the Bears (2-3-0 overall, 1-3-0 league) in the final 40 minutes. Joe LyBarger scored three goals to pace the Huskies.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game going into it," Rifle coach Richard Carter said. "In the second half, we stepped up our game and played with some purpose. It was good to see how the guys kept their heads up."
Rifle continues league play Thursday when the Bears host Palisade.
Coal Ridge sweeps Rifle volleyball team
Abby Orgill, Katelyn Shanahan and Kimmie Rausin each had three kills for Rifle, but the Bears' overall record fell below .500 with a 25-11, 25-13, 25-17 loss to Coal Ridge on Tuesday night.
Sarah McCutchan had six assists, Annie Schmidt added two solo blocks and Leah Antonelli chipped in 12 digs for Rifle (4-5 overall), which had already doubled its win total from a year ago.
Grand Valley boys soccer team falls to Basalt
Basalt jumped to a seven-goal lead in the first half and never looked back on their way to a 13-3 victory over Grand Valley on Tuesday.
The Cardinals (1-7-0 overall, 0-3-0 in 3A Region 3 play) fell behind 8-1 in the first half and could not recover. Grand Valley continues league play Saturday when it hosts Coal Ridge.

School bond needs to pass
(Page 2 of 2)
If this bond fails, our school buildings and infrastructure will deteriorate and our instruction will fall behind that of our neighbors. South Side High School is in desperate need of repair and expansion. And that is where the majority of the bond money would go: $25.5 million, or more than 55 percent of the total, would fund new construction and interior renovations at SSHS. The portable classrooms would go, replaced by a permanent addition, not only giving students the classroom space they need, but improving security — doors would no longer have to be left open all day to allow students in and out of the main building.
Another $7.4 million would be used to build additional classrooms at Watson Elementary, which has long been known by parents, teachers and students for being cramped.
The bond would cover other projects that are necessary for student safety and education: roof repairs, masonry reconstruction, building code upgrades, floor repairs, band and chorus room renovations, new security cameras, a boiler replacement and more.
In a perfect world, this measure would never have to be proposed. The district would be able to fund all of these improvements through its normal budgeting process. But that just isn't possible.
We know times are tough. We know that the tax increase could make things even more difficult for some families. But we also know that our schools need this money. These are things we can do now to make our schools better and more competitive in the coming years. Without this bond, home values in Rockville Centre will begin to fall as the school district deteriorates.
This bond needs to pass. We hope residents understand that, and will vote in favor of it on Tuesday.

1 word, beautiful! Daily Weather Forecast for Ames, IA - weather.com
I hope you didn't just jinx us... Weather people do not know what is going to happen tomorrow, let alone this weekend...
I will pray and hope they are right!
I went to college thinking I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
We had a lot of bad weather early in last season, so hopefully karma is reversing itself.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Isolated t-storms and high of 78 is beautiful? At least that's what I see on your link.
Meteorologists don't know the forecast for tomorrow yet you're looking out 5 days?
Slight chance of rain, but the temp looks perfect.
OSU 2011 Game Thread
I forget that CycloneFanatic is the one place on the face of the planet where "30% chance of rain" means "it's absolutely going to pour! Prepare the Ark!"
BTW, I would call this "beautiful"
Wow, go figure, it has changed since yesterday. Like I said above, they are not sure what is going on tomorrow, let alone this Saturday.
I hope it's nicer than last year's UNI game, although that is a fun memory in retrospect. Rolled into Ames with my old roommate and both of our wives. Realize quickly that it is going to rain for a long time and we have no canopy and scramble around Ames before finally finding some in stock at the old Wal-Mart by the mall. We then proceed to the C-lots where we are the only people there besides a lonely looking old man with a little grill sitting out in the rain with his rain poncho on. Men got drenched setting up the canopy while the wives mocked from the truck. Still one of my favorite tailgates.
4 or 5 days out?
yeah, I think we're still throwing darts at the forcast for this Saturday night.
Last year's UNI game was the worst weather I've seen for an early season game in a long time.
But it was still a lot of fun.

I laugh at comments knocking forecasters.
I'd bet these guys are in the ball park of their forecast over 90% of the time..as long as its within a 2-3 day window. If forecasters were sports handicappers we would hang on their every word.

In central Texas, we've been at 100+ for almost 80 days this summer and there hasn't been any more than a fart of rain to speak of during that time. Dear God yes, isolated t-storms and 78 sounds positively divine.

No one said anything remotely close to that, and you know it.
Last years first game sucked weather wise(For tailgating at least). It cleared up by game time.

Thomasville, GA-October 9, 2012
Thomas County Commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday morning to purchase the seven new fire trucks, each costing around $250,000.
The Thomas County Emergency Services Commission recommended the investment in order for the County to maintain it's current fire insurance rating.
Three trucks will be purchased within the next few weeks and the other four will be purchased later this year.
Thomas County Fire Chief Chris Jones said, "It's going to standardize our fleet, reduce our repair costs of upwards of $70,000-$80,000 a year in repair costs, and then also allow us to do some long term planning."
That long term planning includes placing the older model fire engines in areas that are currently located more than five miles away from a fire station, which will help stabilize those homeowners' insurance rates.
The County is using funds from their fire tax to pay for the new trucks and will be financing them

Comments about Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier:
The tool itself is really impressive. Unfortunately the sheath that it comes with is very low quality. I had to sew it back together 2 weeks after I got because one of the straps came undone. 2 weeks after that I lost it because I assume the strap I sewed back together came undone or the other end broke. I'll probably buy another one because the tool is awesome, I'll just have to find another case. Before I lost it Gerber said they were sending me a new case but I have not received it yet.
Light, well made

Provo, UT (Sports Network) - Riley Nelson threw three touchdown passes to help
the BYU Cougars become bowl eligible and pull off a 52-13 rout of the Idaho
Vandals at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Nelson went 19-of-31 for 236 yards under center for BYU (6-4), which became
bowl eligible for the eighth year in a row. Cody Hoffman was a dynamic target
for Nelson as he made nine receptions for 108 yards and three touchdowns, which
tied his career-high. Jamaal Williams rushed the ball 10 times for a game-high
104 yards and two scores. The Cougars' defensive unit made a big time impact by
forcing five total turnovers and scoring on a fumble return.
For Idaho (1-9), Logan Bushnell completed 19-of-35 attempts for 206 yards, one
touchdown, and two interceptions. Mike Scott turned three receptions into 65
yards and six points. The Vandals could not establish a productive running game
