Summary:During the test flight of a NASA rocket, a third stage misfires, causing it to crash-land on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Its astronaut, U.S. Air Force Captain Tony Nelson, escapes unharmed. As he begins to make an S.O.S. signal from debris, he finds a strange green bottle, which he opens. A pink smoke escapes that materializes into a beautiful girl dressed as a harem dancer -- a genie.

Realizing the problems her presence and powers will cause him at NASA, he sets her free, despite her desire to rem... Full Summary >>

ISM non-manufacturing data dips down in September but still in good shape
October 03, 2013
Following two strong months of non-manufacturing activity in July and August, September dipped down a bit but remained in a good place, according to the Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) Non-Manufacturing Report on Business.
The ISM's index to measure growth—the NMI—fell 4.2 percent from August's 58.6, which stands as its highest recorded level ever since its January 2008 introduction. A reading above 50 represents growth. ISM said that economic activity in the non-manufacturing sector grew in September for the 45th consecutive month.
Each of the other key metrics in the report also decreased in September, with Business Activity/Production down 7.1 percent to 55.1, and New Orders off by only 0.9 percent to 59.6. Employment fell 4.3 percent to 52.7.
"With such a strong performance in August, there were not a lot of places this data could go in terms of how much higher it could go and how sustainable it was," said Tony Nieves, chair of the ISM's Non-Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, in an interview. "We need to see how it trends out but looking at these numbers, they came off but New Orders was still strong and forward-leading, too. It is more of a matter of where we are going to be in the next three-to-four months. Things could finish up pretty strong in the fourth quarter compared to previous years, based on how things are heading into it. But it is contingent on what happens in Washington with the government shutdown."
The current quagmire in Washington was a significant point of concern in the respondents' comments section of the report even though this report was completed prior to the shutdown.
A public administration respondent said that the federal government's spending is increasing greatly as agencies execute their final budgets and utilize fiscal year 2013 appropriated funds prior to their expiration on September 30, which has caused a major increase in procurement activity for goods and services. And a retail trade respondent explained that business has leveled off and there was not much occurring in the way of growth.
Addressing Business Activity and Production and its 7.1 percent decline, Nieves stressed that it is only one month worth of data and it needs to be viewed over a longer period. ISM respondents said that the turmoil and uncertainty of the current state of politics and U.S. involvement overseas continues to drag on the economy, and others pointed to things like seasonal economic growth and an improved economic environment.
"With these numbers for September, they would really look good for any other month, except following August which was a really good month," Nieves said.
On the New Orders side, Nieves noted that non-manufacturing should finish 2013 strong, barring what happens on the political front. And given what has been happening on the manufacturing side in terms of solid New Orders growth also serves as a positive indicator for non-manufacturing, according to Nieves.
September Supplier Deliveries were down 4.5 percent to 50.0, and Inventories dropped 1.5 percent to 54.5. Prices rose 3.8 percent to 57.2.
"For Supplier Deliveries, the rate is basically unchanged in terms of rate of deliveries," said Nieves. "We also see a little bit in the reduction of inventory month over month so there is some inventory burn-off as inventory was geared up for the prior month's level. There is still inventory growth; it is just at a slower rate that is attributed to slowing business activity."
As for Prices, Nieves explained that fuel has seen fluctuations in price as usual, explaining that anything in the petroleum arena is a timing issue as there is a large amount of forward-buying occurring. And when purchases are made at a higher rate it is reflected in the Prices index, due to the reliance on overland trucking for the non-manufacturing sector, with fuel costs and freight costs all factored into the total cost of ownership in the non-manufacturing sector.
If there is solid momentum heading into October in the non-manufacturing sector, with retail activity helping to drive momentum into the Holiday Season and putting aside seasonal adjustments—and depending on what happens in the nation's capital—Nieves said fourth quarter activity has a strong potential upside.

Press conference notes: Aaron Crow and Alex Gordon
Before Thursday's 7:10 home opener vs. the Detroit Tigers, rookie reliever Aaron Crow and left fielder Alex Gordon sat down with theKansas City media to discuss the upcoming 2011 MLB All-Star Game hosted at Chase Field inPhoenix,Arizona, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The right-handed reliever Crow, has already been selected by Rangers manager Ron Washington to represent the American League and spoke about his reaction to the news and praised his fellow teammate, Gordon, for his effort in earning a spot as the All-Star Final Vote Candidate.
"I think it's something that everybody always dreams about doing and I'm fortunate enough to have this opportunity," Crow said. "I think Alex [Gordon] has been the best player on the team by far this whole year and I think he is the most deserving fromKansas City."
Despite pitching struggles at Double-A Northwest Arkansas last year, Crow credits minor league pitching coordinator Bill Fischer, who is here in Kansas City currently, for getting him where he is today. With patience and progress over time, Crow explained that Fischer, along with his other minor league coaches, helped him fight through adversity.
Gordon had nothing but thanks to give to his fans, coaches, and teammates for their support in the "Final Vote for Gordon" social media campaign.
"Our players and our coaches, especially Ned [Yost] have really gone out of their way to give me some support," Gordon said. "It's really been a great honor. Win or lose, just to be up for All-Star vote is something special."
Even though Gordon fell just short of the Final Vote for the 2011 MLB All-Star Game finishing third to winner Paul Konerko of the White Sox, the left fielder focuses on working hard every day as a player and contributing to his team to help win games.

A number of ICAO Member States have difficulties in resolving their safety deficiencies due to lack of financial, technical and/or qualified human resources. ICAO facilitates assistance through the Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programmes (COSCAPs) and supports Regional Safety Oversight Organizations (RSOOs), through which groups of States can collaborate and share resources to improve their safety oversight capabilities.
As an integral part of the GASP, Regional Aviation Safety Groups (RASGs), together with COSCAPs and RSOOs harmonize all activities aimed to address aviation safety issues in each ICAO region.
COSCAPs and RSOOs play an important role by supporting the establishment and operation of a performance-based safety system by analyzing safety information and hazards to aviation at regional level and reviewing the action plans developed within the region.
There is a growing number of COSCAPs and RSOOs, several of which are already well established and operational in regions around the world, while States are expected to become fully operational over the next few years.
Along with the RASGs, they built upon the achievements of existing sub-regional safety organizations and facilitate the exchange of best practices, cooperation and collaboration using a top-down approach—complementing the bottom-up approach of planning by sub-regions, States and industry.

Winder, GA -- There appears to be no end to the fundraisers being organized in an effort to support the parents of 2-year-old Tripp Halstead.
Residents and friends held "Tripp-a-doodle-day" which featured a carnival atmosphere including a race car simulator and a wrestling match.
Hundreds of motorcyle riders also organized a ride in Tripp's honor and bikers came from all over. Organizers say one motorcyclist made the trek all the way from New York.
Tripp was critically injured last month at his Barrow County daycare when a tree limb fell on his head.
Family members say originally doctors had little hope Tripp would survive, yet he has surprised them at every turn.
He has endured brain surgery as doctors tried to relieve brain swelling.
According to Tripp's grandfather, Larry Hughes, doctors have removed all the tubes from Tripp's face. He can sit in a chair and makes eye contact.
Hughes seemed overwhelmed by the outpouring of support Saturday as he attended the fundraisers.
"I wish I had more words that thank you to express what this means. People have been so good to us," said Hughes.
All money raised is being pooled to help the Halsteads with medical bills. Something they are already starting to deal with.
"We know Tripp has a long way to go and the medical bills are already coming in. One just came in for $11,000," said Hughes.
Meantime, Tripp got some national recognition Saturday when SR2 Motorspots driver Blake Koch drove the #00 car decked out exclusively for Tripp in the Nationwide Race. The car was covered in decals and photos of Tripp and the slogan supporters have used #Teamboom.

House panel clears 'cyberbullying' bill
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 9:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 9:42 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE — A Florida House panel has cleared a bill that would include "cyberbullying" under the state's anti-bullying law.
The House Education committee Friday passed the bill (HB 609) by a vote of 14-0.
The state defines bullying as "inflicting physical hurt or psychological distress." School districts already have to adopt policies prohibiting bullying and other harassment in schools. The bill extends protection from bullying when it is done using computers connected to the Internet.
The latest version of the bill was amended to clarify that bullying using computers off of school grounds has to "substantially interfere with or limit" a student's in-school activities to be covered. It's also covered if it disrupts the educational process.
Sixteen other states' anti-bullying laws already address cyberbullying.

I've known about the collection for years. I've already download 5 gigs worth. The old Fire Insurance maps are providing techniques that are working well for my chosen scale. I believe I have a map on here drawn using a style I made from David Rumsey's collection.

Plus talks to Madeleine Shepherd, organiser of the maths film festival at the recent Edinburgh science festival, about how maths has been presented in the movies over the years, with particular reference to three more recent films, Cube, Pi and Flatland. For more on maths in the movies read the Plus article Maths, madness and movies.

The Fourier transform is a piece of maths that is, almost single-handedly, responsible for the digital revolution. Digital music and images would be impossible without it, and it has applications in anything from medical imaging to landmine detection. We asked Chris Budd what the Fourier transform does, and how it does it. This podcast accompanies the Plus article Saving lives: The mathematics of tomography.

Boomerangs in space
A boomerang has been thrown in space, and lo and behold, it returns to its thrower, just like on Earth.
Japanese astronaut Takao Doi threw the boomerang on request from world boomerang champion, compatriot Yasuhiro Togai onboard the International Space Station.
"I was very surprised and moved to see that it flew the same way it does on Earth," Doi was quoted as saying in the Mainichi Shimbun.
Thanks to wawawamovie for the following video of the boomerang.
If you would like to read more about the physics of throwing a boomerang (and why it is no surprise that it should fly in microgravity as long as there is air), read the Plus article Unspinning the boomerang. And to make your own boomerang, read the Plus article Bang up a boomerang.

I will derive!
Mathematicians are known to be good musicians. Here is a mathematical parody of the Gloria Gaynor song, "I will survive". I particularly like the lyrics:
And so now I, I will derive.

There are Events for different European countries etc. (from which you can't access all, only 1 from where your 3DS "is from").... as far as I know...
You can play every game from an European country on your European 3DS but they are still region-locked in regard of Events etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

..... We get a lapras? Yay but it will get it's time to shine during my second playthrough ahahha

Thank you for the answers.
To be honest, I wasn't planning using Lapras on my team. But after seeing its sprite for surf theme, I definitely will have one in my team.
Edit: Lapras is given us as a present?
Maybe Malamar isn't as bad as I was thinking it might be, as it apparently learns Superpower, which lets it attack while boosting its two highest stats when used in conjunction with Contrary.
Still, its typing leaves a lot to be desired defensively, as it resists nothing other then Psychic type attacks and is 4x weak against Bug along with having a Fairy weakness.
Did Gourgeist ever get a new form?
It's nice to finally have a clear picture that shows off Helioptile's sun-shaped frill.
Though now I'm even more uncertain of whether I want it or Manectric as my Electric type...
Does anyone have any idea when Eevee is obtainable in the game?

Bringing Enterprise Password Management to the iPhone
While there are many iPhone password managers available for home and personal use, Secret Server Password Manager iPhone edition brings privileged password management to the IT professional. And it's free! With an already-established password management platform, Secret Server iPhone provides the security and convenience needed for you to efficiently manage and track your organization's most critical passwords from your phone and PC.
Here's a look under the hood
The Secret Server Password Management iPhone app allows you to view, edit, and create Secrets for multiple accounts. You can also see which Secrets were recently accessed, add favorites, and lock the application with a pin code. If you lose your iPhone, you are still be able to access your Secrets from a computer because the application synchronizes with both Secret Server (installed) and Secret Server Online.
The applications that Apple delivers with the iPhone all share a consistent UI and provide an intuitive user experience, so we went to great lengths to emulate this in our application. For example, when you press a table cell and are brought to a new screen, you expect to see a button in the top left that returns you to the previous screen. You also expect certain animations and screen layouts in other familiar situations. One of the challenges of programming the Secret Server iPhone application was meeting these expectations while still providing a powerful web-based application.
What makes iPhone programming different from .NET programming is that you have to be more particular about performance and memory management. iPhones are far less powerful than servers, and large memory allocations should be avoided at all costs. For example, in our application the same memory block is used whenever a Secret is created or edited. This may make the code a little harder to read, but it provides a great boost in performance.
In conclusion, writing the iPhone application was a creative, challenging experience and introduced us to a new language, API, operating system, and way of thinking about code. I am very excited about the Secret Server Password Manager iPhone edition, and will be using it on my iPhone every day.

Great app, but why don't you make it avalable also in european (in particular italian) apple stores?
Thank you
The app is now available globally in the appstore.
Thanks for your feedback!
An easier way to copy the password string would be nice.

AIDS Testing Scare Tactic No Good Here
March 5, 2013
With the "sequester" in progress, some federal agencies have begun trimming — and that, not "slashing," is the right word — spending....
One penny out of every dollar in spending will have WHAT effect?
NOTHING! And that is the problem with Big Drama Obama!
If we cut spending by one penny per dollar per YEAR and then limited spending to 17.5% of GDP starting in 2017 the DEFICIT would GO AWAY completely!!
Just that EASY, but gutless BS artist politicians don't have the BAWLZ to even cut one penny, much less TELL THE TRUTH about it.

Shockles products are U.S. designed and tested to reduce shock loads that commonly occur around boats. On a dock or mooring line, tensions are constant from tidal surges, wakes, winds or currents. Shockles are also found outside the marine industry—anywhere loads are constant or extreme. Shockles are commonly used for towing, securing loads, or in cases where a metal band or rope is suddenly loaded up.
LineSnubber, AnchorSnubber and DockShockle all feature a patented line limiter and progressive tension design to ease constant or sudden shock loads. Minimizing shock loads increases safety and adds to the longevity of mooring lines, dock lines and anchor lines. Stress on the boat and attachment points are also greatly reduced. Shockles are made with UV resistant nylon webbing sewn over the patented internal line limiter and elastomer system. 316 stainless steel hardware is used for strength, convenience and durability.

Today I am launching the first in what will be a series of "2-second garden tips" here on the blog (and on Pinterest). I'm going to be asking fellow gardeners for quick, informative tips that I can turn into interesting Pinterest graphics like the one below (by the way, check out our Pinterest boards here). My first tip was inspired by my fall container. I purchased a lovely heuchera with grey-green and purplish foliage and a requisite chrysanthemum (along with some annuals and kale). There was no way I was going to send the heuchera or the mums to the compost, so I planted them in my garden (with fingers crossed they'll survive the winter). Now my pots are ready for pine boughs and birch branches and whatever else I find to stuff in them.
The graphic was designed by our talented design intern, Emily Swift, who is working on all of TC Media's brands, from Elle Canada to Style at Home. I'm hoping to post a tip a week, so stay tuned. Oh, and if you like the tip, please share it with your Pinterest friends!

Herd falls to SMU
HUNTINGTON - Forget the 28 3-point attempts Marshall flung, mostly in futility, in its 68-57 loss Wednesday night to Southern Methodist.
OK, don't totally forget them, coach Tom Herrion says. Remember more what the Mustangs did to the Thundering Herd on the other end, and on the glass.
Those failings have the third-year coach searching for something his team has lost, and it isn't a stray kitten.
"You can talk about the offense and the shots and all that, that's fine," Herrion said. "To [allow] 56 percent [SMU shooting], [and be] minus-7 on the glass in the first half ... We did not defend, we did not rebound.
"We've lost our identity, in my opinion, to consistently do that - home, away, neutral. That discourages me greatly."
It also discouraged the 5,407 who showed up at Cam Henderson Center to watch the Mustangs become the final team in the 2005-13 Conference USA lineup to defeat their Herd. Marshall had won a single game every season since both teams moved to C-USA, plus the first round of the 2012 league tournament.
But under Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown, SMU (12-10, 2-5) took a 35-23 halftime lead and wasn't really threatened in the second half. The result snapped a three-game losing streak, and saddled Marshall (9-12, 2-4) with its own three-game skid.
As Herrion alluded, the Mustangs shot 55.6 percent in the first half, finishing at 40 percent for the game. Jalen Jones scored 13 of his game-high 19 points and Ryan Manuel had 10 of his 17, picking their way through the Herd defense more often than not.
Whether scoring on the fast break or in the Mustangs' ultra-deliberate half-court sets, both scored on strong drives to the basket, or by shaking their man to get open for a pass, or hitting those all-too-rare midrange jumpers. Neither took a 3-point shot all game.
In fact, their teammates only took six, hitting three. They did quite fine scoring their 30 points in the paint and hitting 15 of 21 from the line, which is actually lower than their conference-leading 76.2 percent.
They started horrendously, committing three turnovers in their first four possessions in spotting Marshall a 5-0 lead. After Dennis Tinnon started another foul foul-shooting night for the Herd with two misses, the Mustangs scored the next six.
A Nick Russell 3-pointer gave SMU the lead for good at 13-11, and the shot ignited an 11-3 run that made it 21-14. Manuel and Jones combined for eight straight to push the lead to 29-19, and Russell hit a fall-away jumper before the buzzer for the 12-point halftime lead.
Manuel started the second half with two free throws to give SMU its biggest lead at 37-23, more than enough to hold off MU's runs. The closest the Herd came was 49-44, which the Mustangs answered with Russell's baseline jumper and Jones' short jumper in the lane.
"We made them guard for 30 seconds," Brown said. "I think when you change sides and move the ball, no matter how good you are defensively there's going to be some breakdowns. This is probably the best we've played offensively all year, in terms of using the clock, getting quality shots.
"And then we rebounded great; they're leading the league in rebounds."
After Tinnon scored on a hard-fought basket to make it 51-46 with 8:41 left, the oft-sputtering Herd defense produced six empty possessions in a row, allowing SMU to push the lead back into double digits. Perhaps the signature moment of the night came with 4:18 left, when the MU defense seemed to part for Russell, who drove down the right baseline for a dunk and a 59-48 SMU lead.
At the other end, the Herd hit just 29.6 percent of its shots in the first half and finished at 33.0 percent. Facing a game-long zone, the Herd settled for 28 3-point attempts, nearly half of the 59 total attempts. With only seven of those bombs going down, it made for a tough night.
"I thought a lot of good shots showed early. A lot were open jump shots; we missed a lot of them," Herrion said. "We didn't attack it enough into gaps or into creases enough, off the dribble. I thought we played a little bit side-to-side against it.
"Twenty-eight, yeah, that's too many. We talked about it as a staff and we'll watch it tonight, and then we leave 13 points on the foul line. A little bit of a broken record; I know you want to talk about our offense, but I'm more discouraged about our defense."
Elijah Pittman and D.D. Scarver scored 15 points apiece, with DeAndre Kane adding 13 points and five assists. Tinnon hauled down 17 boards, but the Herd still got outrebounded 41-35. Marshall scored only 20 points in the paint.
The 10-of-23 outing was the fourth time in the last seven games the Herd failed to hit 50 percent from the line. Here's another crushing stat: The Herd was plus-3 in the turnover column, committing just 11 to SMU's 14.
And still, the Mustangs enjoyed a 21-11 advantage in points off turnovers. It was that kind of night for a Herd team searching for its lost identity.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - JJ O'Brien finished with a double-double and
San Diego State played excellent defense in dropping the 15th-ranked New
Mexico Lobos, 55-34, on Saturday.
O'Brien had 12 points along with 10 rebounds for the Aztecs (16-4, 4-2 MWC),
who forced 17 turnovers and held the Lobos to just 25 percent (11-of-44)
shooting from the field.
Jamaal Franklin contributed with 10 points and seven boards in San Diego
State's second consecutive victory.
In suffering their first conference defeat, the Lobos (17-3, 4-1) had their
four-game winning streak snapped. New Mexico failed to score 20 points in
either half and finished with its lowest point total of the season.
Kendall Williams was the only scorer for New Mexico in double-figures, posting
14 points in the loss.

Hi all,
I am having an issue with one of our users. Almost all of our users just use the web interface to access Zimbra. On this particular user, if she goes directly into her calendar, it does not show any dates but if she right-clicks on it and chooses to launch it in a separate window, everything comes up fine. This happens on any PC we try using IE and Firefox, but no other users have this issues.
Any ideas on where to look first?

Bose Launches SoundTouch Wireless Music System
Bose makes waves wireless.
Make room, because there's yet another wireless music system in the market–this one from a brand that knows a thing or two about getting the public's attention.
Bose, the No. 1 audio brand in terms of consumer awareness, has finally entered the Internet radio/streaming audio market with a line of self-contained one-piece receiver/speaker products branded under the name SoundTouch Wi-Fi.
Based on 802.11g Wi-Fi, the SoundTouch music systems allow users to stream music from the web or from a stored collection. The units also include Apple Airplay so homeowners can access music from their iDevices. Bose plans to add other music services like Deezer, iHeartRadio and others.
Bose debuted the systems to national and international media this week in New York City. At launch, there are three systems:
SoundTouch 30 Wi-Fi: Measuring 10x17x7 inches (HxWxD), this unit is designed for larger spaces. Bose, which is known for its strict policing of a universal pricing policy, has this unit set at $699.
SoundTouch 20 Wi-Fi: At 7x12x4 inches, this more compact unit is targeted for bedrooms, bathrooms or other smaller sized areas of the home. It is priced at $399.
SoundTouch Portable Wi-Fi: This smaller unit has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in a speaker about the size of book at 6x10x3 inches.
The line will expand in December 2013 with the inclusion of the same feature set in the Bose Wave SoundTouch Music System. Early in 2014, other products added to the family will include the SoundTouch Stereo JC Wi-Fi that connects to Bose Jewel Cube speakers (and an Acoustimass module for bass), weather-resistant outdoor speakers, and Lifestyle home theater systems and VideoWave TVs that will be SoundTouch enabled. Conceivably, the wireless connectivity to the speakers and TV will open up the potential for the SoundTouch devices to be used as source components in a multiroom audio or home theater setting.
Design & Engineering
"The engineering focus for the products was portability, control and effortlessness," says Glenn Gomes-Casseres of Bose. The company attempted to not over-engineer the product line, which was in development for more than three years, according to Phil Hess, Bose vice president.
The units have a front-facing OLED screen that gives feedback on what song or Internet radio station has been selected using metadata. The devices rely heavily on consumers' familiarity with the "preset" mentality, in essence aiming to emulate the preset hardkey experience that most consumers have with in their car radios. On top of each unit are six simple preset buttons that can be pressed and held to preset a station, Pandora channel or playlist from a PC or an iDevice. There are also volume up and down hardkeys and a power button. That's it.
Each of the three initial units also comes with an IR remote, with the remote for the SoundTouch 30 having a unique round design. There is a spin wheel on the outside of the remote for volume control and the LED in the center is actually a touchscreen that can be used to pause songs.
A free downloadable app for iOS, Mac, Android and Windows is also available. The app is very clean and simple, using simple drag-and-drop or press-and-hold commands to create presets. The interface displays album art and song title information when played. There is also a "Recents" button that allows the user to access the last 50 songs listened to, along with icons for Pandora and Music Library. On the bottom of the app, there is a scroll bar that allows the user to switch between multiple SoundTouches in a home.
Right now, Bose is using only a global preset ability, meaning if there are multiple SoundTouch devices in a home, all six presets apply to every unit. But according to designer Conor Sheehan, there will soon be an ability to have individual presets for each device. The app also has a Party mode that allows you to control volume levels on multiple devices in a home. The interface can be customized by the homeowner using a Setting button to name zones, etc. There is also an Explore panel that allows the user to search artists, find Internet radio station genres, etc.
Bose president Bob Maresca says the company put the device through its paces, which is one reason it took so long for the company to enter the category. Maresca noted that even his wife, who is a complete technophobe, found SoundTouch simple and intuitive. He admits that adding Airplay and the OLED screen made the units more expensive to manufacture, but are necessary elements for simplicity and feedback. "We were not going to let this thing out until we could satisfy a wide swath of customers," he adds.
According to Hess, the company considered Bluetooth but he notes, "it's great for point-to-point communication, but it's not its time yet." He adds, "We believe SoundTouch systems will change music at home the way Bluetooth speakers changed music on-the-go."
The devices are not controllable by third-party control systems

Hi All
I have built a new Zimbra 7.2.0 server on Ubuntu 10.4 this weekend (was running v6 on Centos 5.5)

Item # FIZ2714
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Fi'zi:k Kurve Bull Saddle $0.00
Most of us roll our eyes when we hear the phrase 'comfort saddle'. After all, the term calls to mind images of boardwalk bikes and saddles with cutouts so large they look like medieval torture devices. Designed for riders seeking a saddle with a deep pocket and a slightly wider profile, the Fizik KURVE Bull Saddle proves that high performance and comfort can coexist.
Why Bull? Well, in an effort to eliminate some of the guesswork from choosing the saddle that suits you best, Fizik developed Spine Concept, a fit system that divides cyclists into three groups (Snakes, Chameleons, or Bulls) according to riding style and flexibility. Bulls have spines that aren't quite as flexible as Snakes and Chameleons and, as a result, rotate their pelvises forward when they ride, an adjustment that requires a saddle with a larger, deeper pocket. Bulls can also experience some discomfort from their sit bones on traditional saddles, and will benefit from a wider saddle with a bit more of top-to-bottom wave to decrease pressure in sensitive areas.
But let's talk about what truly sets the Fizik KURVE apart from the rest. In standard saddles, comfort comes from some form of foam padding; but foam takes a little while break in and can degrade over time. Instead of padding, KURVE saddles rely on the base of the saddle for comfort. The KURVE's composite Re:Flex shell behaves like a sensory receptor, mirroring your movements in the saddle as you ride. Key contact points in the shell -- such as those under your sit bones and perineum -- are constructed using fewer composite layers, thus enabling them to respond to pressure from your body. The new design means KURVE saddles have a more rounded top than their traditional counterparts -- that's the Re:Flex shell waiting to do its job. Once you hop on the bike, the saddle flexes, conforming to the shape that fits you best. Best of all, since KURVE saddles don't rely on padding for support and comfort, no break in time is required -- just install it and ride.
Fizik didn't stop there though. The KURVE Bull Saddle also features the company's new Tuner insert, an interchangeable nosepiece that allows you to customize the flex of the saddle. Need a bit more forgiveness while piling on your early season base mileage? Simply install the more flexible nosepiece for a softer, gentler ride. Want to muster every last watt of power from your legs during this weekend's time trial or triathlon? Switch to the more rigid nosepiece for more stiffness and less flex.
Like many of Fizik's top saddles, the KURVE Bull also features TwinFlex technology (the shell is comprised of interwoven fibers that flex like a hammock), WingFlex technology (small slits in the side of the saddle flex when pedaling, allowing free thigh movement with each downward pedal stroke), and the Fizik Mobius Rail (a one-piece circular rail system constructed of cold-forged aluminum alloy is stronger and lighter than individual rails). By themselves, each feature provides immediate benefits to the rider, but when combined with Re:Flex and Tuner they create a saddle that proves high performance and comfort can coexist.
The Fizik KURVE Bull Saddle is Black with an embossed animal logo. It measures 265mm in length and 146mm at its widest point. It is compatible with the Fizik ICS system of bags and lights.

Won't fit Trek seatmast, even with 7x9
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Even with the right side 7x9 (I also tried 7x10) clamps this saddle won't fit a Trek seat mast. The distance between the rails just isn't wide enough to slide over the body of the seatmast, which is required to then let the rails clamp into the sides.
I think this would work well with a top clamping, conventional style seat post, but it appears to be a no-go for mine.
Looked to otherwise be a nice saddle, very stylish, but can't mount it so can't comment on comfort.
Instrument of torture
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought a Bull Kurve after using the Aliante as my favorite for several years. I'm amazed to read all the great reviews that say this saddle is comfortable because riding the Bull was torture for me. It felt like it was made of cast iron and after a 60 mile ride on it I was sore for days. I called it an a**hatchet and gave it away. I'm back on the Aliante and happy again.
is there a trick to getting this to work with a Giant Propel vector seat clamp? Right now the rain don't sit flush on both sides and I can't tighten it down.
Great Saddle
The Saddle is great, very comfortable, light and stiff when it needs, make sure you are propper fit on the bike once you got the sweet spot your done great job ok Fizik
review flagged as inaccurate and well mis-informed . Click here to view.
Great fit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Switched from one of the Fizik saddles with the "comfort channel" This is a much better seat. Highly recommend it if you are on a Alliante

Has anyone used Veeam to backup Zimbra?

Has anyone used Veeam to backup Zimbra?
Pls look at http://www.zimbra.com/forums/virtual...vironment.html
Hi crandall348,
I'm using Veeam Backup to backup the whole VM that runs ZCS. Do you have any specific questions/problems?
Veeam is able to do consistent backups (I think it does a snapshot, backs that up and then merges that snapshot back), so if you're restoring one of those it would be like powering up a machine after a power failure. Research the problems one might encounter after an unexpected power failure to get an idea of how good/reliable those backups are and what to expect. Personally, I've had Zimbra servers lose power and had no problem upon power-up, but that only happened a handful of times, so ...
Always test your backups!!! <- can't stress this enough
But don't rely only on Veeam for backups. I also backup (just Zimbra) nightly, when I can afford to stop it. There are guides on the forums for that.
Don't take my word as a guarantee. I have limited experience with either Zimbra and Veeam. (have started using Veeam a few months ago, and Zimbra a little more than a year ago)
Hope this helps.
We use Veeam to backup the system image of Zimbra. Would not recommend backing up the actual mail store (aka /opt) unless it's a smaller install. If you're a larger environment, you'd probably be better off sticking to the built-in Zimbra backup, then snapshotting the actual mail store at the SAN level.

I will offer full day trips only at $650 for one or two anglers. That includes fishing and lodging. It will be $600 per day if booking two or more consecutive days. I'll have to clean up and wash sheets, etc between parties so I figure if I can get folks to stay a couple days or more it'll make my life easier. Plan to arrive the evening before the trip and depart following the trip unless I happen to have an open date the day after your trip in which case you are welcome to stay over and leave the following day. Also, there are a few hotels in the area if needed and at that time of year they should have plenty of vacancy.I'm just starting to book dates so it is fairly open at this point.

The deck is stacked against a lot of small coffee cooperatives. They are focusing intently on how to keep yields and quality high while keeping members happy with prices. Cooperative members have various needs that include access to affordable, healthy food; healthcare; and extra money for education for their children. This is where, ideally, supportive non-profit organizations can step in to help. A non-profit like Fabretto—one that is truly based in the community and, as such, knows the needs and solutions from within—is rare.
Counter Culture actually learned about Cinco de Junio, a Nicaraguan small cooperative we've purchased from for the last five years, because of their connection with Fabretto. With a grant supported by the Buffett Foundation and implemented alongside Catholic Relief Services, Fabretto was doing an analysis of community needs in Las Sabanas a number of years ago. They realized that Cinco de Junio's members and their families needed greater agronomic education, and that they could benefit from expanded economic opportunity—since Cinco de Junio was the only game in town. Luckily through their partnership—and, then our partnership—we were able to support Cinco de Junio in exactly this way.
Fabretto was founded in Nicaragua in 1948 when a Salesian missionary named Reverend Rafael Maria Fabretto found numerous impoverished children on his visit to Nicaragua. In its early days, it was a number of children's homes. Today, the organization has seven main educational centers in Nicaragua and focuses on securing livelihoods through education as well as food security efforts. (They also have supporting foundations in two additional countries.) "Padre Fabretto," as they call him in Nicaragua, was so influential that there is often a photo of him in family homes.
Kevin Marinacci, Fabretto's President and Chief Executive Officer for almost 25 years, took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to me about the work of Fabretto:
Hannah: What is Fabretto doing right now that you consider to be the most successful piece of your work?
Kevin: We believe in education as means to a livelihood, and we have seen this work. Through our SAT program (Rural Secondary Education) families like those in Cinco de Junio are able to connect with external and commercial partners. It's a virtuous cycle—we invest in education and make education relevant to what their livelihood is. So, especially in the high school programs, teaching about sustainable agriculture makes it more likely that producers can then innovate and get out ahead in terms of market viability and trends. I also think that focusing on diversification into crops with chia and honey is important as it provides the opportunity to leave a more resilient rural economy for the students that are part of the cooperative.
H: Could you talk about a key challenge for small cooperatives?
K: I think consolidating the gains they've made and positioning themselves properly is what's needed. It is hard for small cooperatives to say no (both internally and external). They have to start to define who they are as a cooperative, say that ideas are welcome, but communicate clearly that they are taking the premium market route and need people to be on board with what that means. With external partners, they have to be strategic about how they are going to connect with lenders to reinvest in their farms.
H: How is Fabretto involved in the day-to-day operations of Cinco de Junio?
K: We have a staff member of Fabretto who spends time on the ground visiting Cinco de Junio. He helps strategize and links them with opportunities like grants for technical assistance projects submissions for loans with Root Capital.
H: Can you share a hope for the future?
K: I'd love to see Cinco de Junio be so successful that they match our contribution to the education programs dollar-for-dollar or underwrite the investment for education. That would be a home run if they invested in SAT, because it would mean that they believe in the impact of education.
H: Thanks for the chat and for the great work you are doing!
K: We're not experts, by an stretch of the imagination, but we've been privileged to play a role.

Folks with the Bozeman Sculpture Park, right next to the public library, say they were shocked to find someone damaged three sculptures.
They say they discovered the vandalism on Sunday and called police to file a report.
Two out of three of the sculptures damaged are new this year and artists from across the state contributed to the park. They say they were surprised to hear something like this would happen in Bozeman.
Folks with the not-for-profit group estimate vandals did around $8,000 worth of damage, making the crimes a felony.
They say they are determined to find out who is responsible. That it's not just about the individual artists' work or even the entire sculpture park.
"This is really about community art here in Bozeman and we're hoping that the community will come together in support and help us bring those to justice that committed these crimes," says Sculpture Park President Joseph Keith.
The sign providing self-guided tour information was also stolen.
Folks with the sculpture park say it's still unclear whether the acts were random or targeted.
They're offering a reward to any information that leads to an arrest. If you have any information about the vandalism, you can email the Bozeman Sculpture Park.

$175,000 salary cap for execs? Placer County supes willing to take a look
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
A $175,000 yearly salary cap for Placer County managers? It?s an option the Placer County Board of Supervisors wants to consider as it deals with deteriorating revenues and a shaky state financial outlook. Supervisors were given an initial view this week of what a $175,000 ceiling on manager wages could mean. Graham Knaus, finance and budget operations manager, outlined how a salary cap would have an impact on 25 employees currently earning above the $175,000 benchmark annually. Instituting a cap at that level could result in gross general-fund savings of about $500,000. County Executive Officer Tom Miller is the county?s highest-paid manager, earning last year $233,949. The total reflects a reduction of $9,000 in wages due to 12 mandatory furlough days he and other county employees took off. Knaus added that some of the positions in the plus-$175,000 category are physicians and psychiatrists with state-mandated positions and contracts with the county. Knaus said it could be hard to fill those medical positions because of difficulty finding qualified job candidates willing to fill posts with salaries comparably lower than other public and private employers in the region. Supervisors are asking for more information to compare the work levels and pay in private and public jobs to see if a cap is possible. Discussion of the $175,000 wage ceiling was part of a broader-based budget workshop Tuesday. ?I?m not opposed to entertaining anything like that,? Supervisor Kirk Uhler said. ?But I?m interested in actually going one step further ? that is, doing a salary survey of compensation at all levels. Why limit this just to management that makes over $175,000?? Uhler said he would like the county take ?a good, candid, honest look? at what the pay is for comparable positions in the private sector. Comparing the consideration of a salary cap as part of a DEFCON 5 option, Supervisor Jack Duran said supervisors needed to discuss worst-possible budget scenarios. DEFCON 5 ? short for the U.S. government?s Defense Readiness Condition ? is at its highest when it?s at Level 5. ?If we have $8 million in reserves and we get hit with $9 million, we?re upside-down,? Duran said, using the term frequently heard during the current economic downturn for houses worth less than what they were bought for. ?I think what we need to do is to look at all kinds of different operational cuts, from 5 percent to 7 percent to 10 percent,? he added. ?And we (can) talk about haircuts for everyone with regards to salaries. We don?t know what the future is and we need to have this session.? Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery called for a salary analysis that would look at both the private and public sector, while also looking at wages in counties with comparable population levels. ?It?s important to look at the private sector piece but also important to look at what other governmental jurisdictions of similar size are doing,? Montgomery said. An examination of salaries should also look at what employees are doing on the job and what their workload is like, she said. ?Not just what other people with the same job descriptions do but what are they actually doing,? Montgomery said. ?We know that some departments, their workload is through the roof. Other departments, it?s not.?
