Hi wazup?
Hope things are going great here .. :-)
I'm a zimbra zcs-4.0.4_GA_457.FC4 admin.
Let me jump into my probelm now - it is SPAM
I have applied many settings to zimbra postfix reading the froum here..and could block a huge chunk of spams.. thanks guys..
Now the set up is like this - we have internal mail groups and only mydomain.com users are allowed to mail to those groups. All other domains are bloked using -
permitted_senders_list = check_sender_access hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/permitted_senders, reject
smtpd_restriction_classes = permitted_senders_list.
Ok, things were fine, now the spamer generates some junk ids (not real) in mydomian.com (eg: email@example.com) and sends mails. Please help me block him now, need to enable SMTP authentication? My requirement is like this - only a valid user with a valid password should be able to send mails from mydomain.com. Possible right? I was searching here in forums but too many lists & unable to find. I know with postfix it's possible (but don't know how/didn't try yet) but confused with LDAP authetication in zimbra.
Please give me some hints. Is this issue already addressed? then somebody can direct me to the proper place? :-)

text: By Jeff HeadleyKeith County News The Cattlemen's Ball has a new icon that, literally, can't be missed–a 2,000-pound set of steel spurs constructed by Ogallala High School graduate Shannon Hansen of Lincoln. The steel spurs were set into place in front of Pinnacle Bank in Ogallala last week as a promotion for the annual Cattlemen's Ball, which will be held June 7-8 on the Hanging H Ranch near Sutherland. This year's Cattlemen's Ball is being hosted by Ralph and Beverly Holzfaster of Paxton, and Neal Hansen of Sutherland. The spurs are anticipated to remain on display in front of Pinnacle Bank for about a month. In the coming years, the new spurs will travel the state as part of the annual Cattlemen's Ball, which is a fundraiser for the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Eppley Cancer Center. The sculptor is the son of the late Jim and Dee Hansen, former owners of Kingsley Lodge at Lake McConaughy. He received instruction at Peru State College, Western Nebraska Technical College at Sidney and Southeast Community College at Milford. He has taught for 14 years and is currently the welding program chairman for Southeast Community College at Milford. The spurs are made out of carbon steel with a patina finish, Hansen said. The sculpture is about 18 feet long and weighs about 2,000 pounds. It took 45 days to complete the western-themed spurs. Of his sculpture, Hansen simply said, "It is monumental." "The scale is amazing. Ultimately, it will look small when it is placed out in a field, but it looks good in front of this bank." Hansen said being asked to create the sculpture "was a tremendous opportunity" and having it set at Ogallala "is great." While the spurs will probably remain as his most significant contribution to the Cattlemen's Ball, Hansen also has constructed an abstract horse, which is part of a live auction during this summer's Cattlemen's Ball. The new icon was sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska and former State Sen. and Big Springs resident Jack Mills, who serves on the Blue Cross and Blue Shield board of directors. Money for the sculpture was derived through the company's Board of Directors Contributions Program. The Cattlemen's Ball was formed in 1997 by a small group of beef industry leaders who wanted to create an organization to promote beef as part of a healthy diet—and in the process, do some good by raising money for cancer research, according to the Cattlemen's Ball website at www.cattlemensball.com.

Mark Lundquist's 1965 ChevelleWritten by on August 1, 2001 Contributors: Matthew King When The SS Big-Block Legend Began
Any Chevelle aficionado worth his Bow Tie knows that 1965 was a special year for the Malibu. A year after the successful debut of the A-car platform, the 65 Chevelles sported crisp, fresh styling on top of the already well-designed chassis. And oh, the engines. The 300-horse 327 just couldnt compete with the GTOs in 1964, so for 1965 it was relegated to Second Place in the small-block lineup. The hot ticket became RPO L79, which got you a solid-lifter 350hp 327enough motor to keep pace with the strongest small-block competition. However, the onslaught of musclecars from every manufacturer pushed Chevy later in the year to create 201 Malibus sporting RPO Z-16, whose fenderwells cradled the Corvette-born 375-horse 396. The Chevelle SS big-block legend had begun.
But why let things end there? Even the toughest factory musclecars were compromised for cost savings, driveability, and economy. Mark Lundquist likes 65 Chevelles, but decided to restore his car beyond the constraints of any factory offering. He began with a decent 283-powered Malibu SS with plans to clean it up as a nice driver. So how do plans for a nice driver result in a flawlessly painted, 502-powered, Hotchkis-suspended street machine? Mark says it best: The cleanup got out of hand. We can relate.
Mark finished the 65 in a year, which makes our own restoration efforts seem downright lazy. After seeing the car in person, wed say he threw a bit of money at it, too, judging by the perfect bodywork, rattle-free custom interior, and ice-cold Vintage Air system. Were pretty sure that the ZZ502, the ACT-built 200-4R overdrive transmission, and the Currie 9-inch rearend were hardly cheap, either. None of that mattered, however, after we climbed in for a ride. Mark eased the shifter into gear and dipped into the accelerator. The BFGs fought for traction and hooked. The 1-2 shift came with a chirp and the 502 climbed smoothly to 5,500. Then there was a firm 2-3 shift, and whoawe were already going pretty fast. Mark blipped the four-wheel discs, slowed the Velle to the 55-mph limit, and the overdrive calmed the 502 inches of big-block to a mellow rumble. It was nearly 100-degrees F in Joshua Tree on the day we photographed Marks car, so he closed the windows, flipped on the A/C, and rolled down the two-lane desert highway with nary a creak or rattle. Folks, you just cant do this with a stock 65. Marks Chevelle plain does things better. Maybe we should call it RPO Z-17.

Mark made it easy for us to get detail shots of the underside—this guy's got a four-post lift in his home garage! The ACT-built 200-4R flaunts a custom aluminum pan for extra cooling capacity. Coated Hedman Hedders scavenge spent gases into the mandrel-bent Flowmaster exhaust.A Denny's Driveshaft couples the tranny to the Currie 9-inch rear. Boxed Hotchkis trailing arms, a robust 1-inch antisway bar, and Air-Lift air bags keep the rear tires firmly planted under any conditions.The hood opens and a hush falls over the crowd…a big-block Chevy just looks so right in a Chevelle. The stock ZZ502 is crowned with a dual-snorkel air cleaner that once served duty on a '70 Z28. Dual 11-inch Spahl electric fans pull air through a massive aluminum radiator to draw heat from the Evans NPG waterless coolant. Mark installed an electric vacuum pump on the driver-side fenderwell to ensure the four-wheel discs stay power-assisted.The fuel-pressure regulator and adjustable rev limiter are mounted on the A/C block-off plate so there aren't any "permanent" holes drilled into the car. Should he ever choose to return the SS to stock trim, it will be done with wrenches, not welders. Hypothetically, of course.Check out the trick trunk-mounted kit that houses a second carb, HEI distributor, and an extra set of plugs. This guy hauls around as many spare parts as the off-road guys do! The legs securely clamp to the trunk floor with magnets.
A brown interior? Mark inherited the color from a previous owner, but the interior is part resto and part modern, and the total package is both classy and comfortable. Mark retained the original floor shifter, which was modified for use with the 200-4R. The rare optional dash-top clock and in-dash tach are cool additions as is the tissue holder. A Custom Autosound cassette deck provides the cruising tunes while the Vintage Air keeps passengers adequately chilled. Credit for the custom upholstery goes to Thorton's in Santa Ana, California.

HOUSTON (AP) -- Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has been suspended for the first half of the Aggies' season-opener against Rice on Saturday for what the school said was an "inadvertent" violation of NCAA rules by signing autographs.
The school issued a statement Wednesday saying it declared the Heisman Trophy winner ineligible and that the NCAA agreed to reinstate Manziel after he serves the half-game suspension.
Manziel was being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly accepting money from memorabilia brokers for signing autographs, which violates NCAA rules and could have compromised his eligibility.
According to the statement, Texas A&M and the NCAA "confirmed there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange for autographs based on currently available information and statements by Manziel."
Conditions for reinstatement include Manziel discussing his situation with teammates and A&M revising future education concerning student-athletes signing autographs.

Kasich Proposes Tax Switches
Income tax would be reduced, service taxes enabled
February 5, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Gov....
"Kasich is now the fifth GOP governor to back the Medicaid expansion, joining Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and fellow GOP leaders in Nevada, New Mexico and North Dakota in agreeing to a key component of Obama's efforts to extend health coverage to as many as 17 million people through Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program over a decade. Including Ohio, the chief executives of 20 states and the District of Columbia are now on board with the Medicaid expansion."
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Generous federal funding for new Medicaid enrollees is likely the major motivating factor behind Kasich's decision to participate in the expansion, which the Supreme Court made optional for states when it upheld Obama's health care law last year. The federal government will pay 100 percent of the costs of the new beneficiaries from next year through 2016, after which the share will gradually decline until it reaches 90 percent in 2022 and future years.
"We are going to extend Medicaid for the working poor and for those who are jobless trying to find work," Kasich said at a news conference in Columbus Monday that was broadcast online. "It makes great sense for the state of Ohio because it will allow us to provide greater care with our own dollars."
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Kasich credited the White House with encouraging him to go forward with the Medicaid expansion. Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama, vowed to consider giving Ohio the flexibility to enact changes to its Medicaid program during a telephone conversation on Jan. 30, Kasich said. "I want to thank Valerie Jarrett today for being willing to work with us," he said.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Many Republicans are not conservatives, even though they claim to be. Kasich is such.Many are joining the Dem. line as they did when LBJ got elected after he took the reins from JFK.They just gave up to protect their own political aress. It remains to be seen if the Repub. party can rebuild or go the way of the Whigs

I'm really stuck here, hopefully someone can help..
How can I force Zimbra to always use the MTA instead of deliver email locally for preconfigured domains in Zimbra.
I'm using GMAIL in this example:
I have setup a gmail.com domain in ZIMBRA, for my local email.
And also specified the SMTP server of my Internet provider as MTA.
But now when I sent email to another Gmail email user, the zimbra servers won't deliver this email to the MTA, but tries to deliver it locally. But the other user does not exist locally and then the email gets cancelled.
Sending email to other valid email adresses (not a local domain in zimbra) through the MTA goes fine.
NOQUEUE: filter: RCPT from: <....>: Sender address triggers FILTER smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026; from=<....> to=<....> proto=ESMTP helo=<....>

SUMMIT COUNTY -- The Summit County Sheriff says two cousins have been arrested in connection with a string of car break-ins in the southern portion of the county.
In September, law enforcement agencies noted an increase in car break-ins at businesses on Arlington Road in Springfield, Coventry and Green.
A suspect was identified and on October 20 under surveillance investigators say the man was observed breaking into a Copley restaurant.
The man and his cousin, who was with him at the time, were placed under arrest. The two men face charges of theft and criminal damaging. Other charges are pending.
Deputies say the arrests clear 19 reports of vehicle break-ins in Green and Coventry. The investigation is ongoing.

|Innovator of the Year: Parker pushes students through interactive lessons
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
It wasn't a love for new technology that prompted Holyoke Elementary School second-grade teacher Chandra Parker to seek out interactive boards and tablets for the classroom. It was a desire to capture the attention of young students who can quickly lose focus.
The steps she has taken to improve the classroom setting have not gone unnoticed, as Parker has been named this year's Emerald Award winner for Innovator of the Year.
"I just wanted things that were interactive for the kids, and I have a passion for making things better for the class I'm teaching," Parker explained. "It doesn't matter if it's the technology or differentiating for my kids, whatever is best for them. You are going to have to change every year depending on the kids and the class."
Her ability to welcome change has paid off. Children in the class now clamor for a chance to go to the board in front of the class and solve problems.
"Mrs. Parker has a classroom of 15 students this year, and all of her students are thriving under her individualized instruction," said elementary school counselor Sharon Jones in nominating Parker for the Innovator award. "She takes the time to find the student's learning style and finds the time in the school day to sit with her students in a group of one, two or three and instruct in the areas of reading, writing and math.
"All of Mrs. Parker's students have increased their standardized test scores—ALL of her students! She sets high expectations, and the kids rise to the occasion to meet these expectations."

Differential Pumping
Application ID: 14313
Differentially pumped vacuum systems use a small orifice or tube to connect two parts of a vacuum system that are at very different pressures. Such systems are necessary when processes run at higher pressures and are monitored by detectors that require UHV for operation. In this model, gas flow through a narrow tube and into a high vacuum chamber is approximated using an analytic expression for the flow rate. The model can also be adapted to use experimental data directly. The results obtained by coupling the analytic model to the free molecular flow interface are compared with a simulation that incorporates free molecular flow in both the tube and the UHV part of the system.

It's easy to pronounce the letter 'r' in "lernen". But when it comes to pronouncing "lernst", it becomes really hard to keep pronouncing 'r' next to "nst". Listening to some native speaker pronunciations (like this), I realized that 'r' is omitted and not pronounced in "lernst", which makes its pronunciation much easier. Is this only a special case where 'r' is omitted, or is there any general pronunciation rule which is also being applied here?

The /r/ is pronounced differently by different speakers. The three most common pronunciatons for /r/ in German today are (ordered by frequency of occurrence):
There are other, rare and locally limited pronunciations, among them a retroflex approximant [ɻ] similar to the American English pronunciation. These are listed in the Duden Grammatik.
What you must note (and this will answer your question) is that one speaker will pronounce all instances of /r/ in the same way. This means that if you listen to one individual speaker, the /r/ in both "lernen" and "lernst" will sound the same.
Which pronunciation you choose, is up to you and depends on the variant of German you want to speak.
My claim that "one speaker will pronounce all instances of /r/ in the same way" is obviously wrong. All native German speakers will realize this, if they observe themselves speaking the words (1) "breit", (2) "lernst" and (3) "Lager". There is a decrease of "roll" from (1) to (3). Maybe someone wants to dig up the rules to this distribution.
What you have here is a postvocalic r -- an r that follows a vowel. Like in British English, postvocalic r in German isn't pronounced "properly", but it does change the vowel it follows and is itself realized as a vowel (see also @Veri's answer).
Compare the following English word pairs for examples (and pronounce them British in your head):
The "ler" part of lernen and lernst rhymes with British English "fair".
Compare also what Wikipedia writes about the pronunciation of R in German: "Nicht überall dort, wo der Buchstabe R in der Schrift erscheint, wird er auch tatsächlich als das Phonem /r/ ausgesprochen. Meist findet sich in Wörterbüchern, die sich an die sogenannte Standardlautung des Deutschen orientieren, die Empfehlung zur Aussprache des Buchstabens als /r/ unter anderem nach den kurzen Vokalen i, ä, a, ü, ö, u, o am Wortende oder vor einem Konsonanten, z. B. [vɪr] für "wirr" und nicht [vɪɐ̯].1 In anderen Fällen wird meist ein abgeschwächtes a [ɐ̯] angegeben, wie bei "Tür", "wir" oder "Mutter"."
I think it depends on whether you speak some special kind of dialect or not. I am from Austria, and we often pronounce the /r/-sound like an /a/-sound -> leanst. Unfortunately, I can't give you more information about this specific questions.
I recorded an example how to pronounce it:
There are two slightly different ways:
Man kann das r mehr oder weniger betonen oder rollen, aber auslassen kann man es nicht.

Mirka Vavrinec was spotted working a beautiful Louis Vuitton metallic silver satchel (though the fuzzy white heart is questionable) while watching her man, Roger Federer, absolutely annihilate Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 and reach his record 19th straight Grand Slam semifinal.
The stats tell the tale: 38 winners against 9 errors, 70% success on first serve deliveries, 12 aces, 21 of 25 net approaches, and converted 7 of 11 break point chances. Yikes. He'll take on a resurgent Andy Roddick for a place in Sunday's final.
So what was Juan Martin del Potro's assessment of why he was completely whitewashed in their match: "He's Roger Federer."
Clearly Fed's feeling good after being given a second life after his 5-set, fourth round escape against Tomas Berdych and he's letting his game fly now. Watch out.
But back to RoKa: they seem alive and well, as usual. And, I'm sure there'll be more LV satchels in Mirka's future though I imagine she's probably looking for something a little smaller, shinier, and has a diamond or 10 on it.

Delpo tanked. He didn't even try. No wonder Roger crushed him.ReplyDelete
LOL, great ending Rich!Love it!:)ReplyDelete
I don't know if it's the angle but Mirka looks way thinner here than she did last year. I love her skin! I've heard that it's incredible up close.ReplyDelete
For a LV bag, it's quite nice.ReplyDelete
That bag would look nicer on me than on her. No, really.ReplyDelete
Roger please. Will you just go and set a date already. It's almost bad form to keep an engagement this long.
- johanneJanuary 27, 2009 at 9:40 AM
Ditto on the fuzzy white heart. Egads!ReplyDelete
Totally NOT shocked at the scoreline. JMDP has absolutely no confidence against Fed. He's still scared of him and definitely needs to get over that shit if he ever wants to win! I mean look at his answer to why he lost: "He's Roger Federer." WTF is that?!?! Grow some JMDP!! Play your game!! Jaysus.

when you hear the whole quote it doesn't sound as bad; it's still bad thoughReplyDelete
"I can't do nothing in the match. He play like No. 1 of the world, so that's it. I just have a bad day. He's Roger Federer. If you don't be good, you lose."

Well, it's not the fact that he lost the match, but the way he lost it. He needs to grow up, if he wants to win slams.ReplyDelete
The few clips I've seen of Mirka this year she does look smaller not that it matters because Fed seems to love her no matter what her weight is and that's the way it should be.ReplyDelete

How do we know that Mirka isn't the one who doesn't want to get married? It's clear that he loves her and is devoted to her so maybe she's the one putting the wedding on hold.ReplyDelete
J.Martin is still very young but he sure got spanked. Clearly lots of work to do on his game but it's two consecutive Grand Slam quarters which is nothing to sneeze at.ReplyDelete
AH-HA! Good point anon. Maybe she's holding it over his head until he breaks Pete Sampras' record. How mean.
*scratches Mirka off Christmas list*
Or get the French Open. X-DReplyDelete
honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if she was. i hear she's a woman of steel. so right for fed, no?ReplyDelete
Why do they HAVE to get married anyway? I'm sayin', if it's the love of your life, you stay together even without a rock.ReplyDelete
As for JMDP: He's got to work on his mental game, or his nerves will always get the better of him. He's a great talent, but he needs more confidence.
The fuzzy, furry little heart on that bag is scaring me. It needs to go.ReplyDelete
Great post Rich!

1953 Chevrolet Five-Window - A Father's Machine A Father's Dream MachineWritten by on October 10, 2012 Tim Tullo's '53 Chevy Five-Window
When you call Fatman Fabrications to order parts, chances are you will talk to owner Brent VanDervort or Tim Tullo. Tim, an avid hot rodder and gearhead, knows his product and can help find suspension parts when it comes to the Fatman catalog. But what Tim wanted to learn more about was hands-on installations, not only on the Fatman product line, but how to do all the rest.
I hear people say that it is easy to turn a mechanic into an engineer, but not the other way around. Its not that the engineer is smarter than the mechanic, but rather the engineer is wired to think different. Same goes for Tim's job at Fatman Fabrications. He spends most of his time talking to people on the phone helping with product installations (via the phone) and selling parts. So to help wrap his head around the "how to" questions, he set out to build a project of his own.
Let's not discredit Tim's skills in the shop because he has been building cars and trucks since he was 15 years old, but he was not confident in some areas. The only thing he was lacking was metal fabrication and needed some time behind the welding mask. So, in search of one perfect project truck Tim found two trucks with parts that fit one another. The tricky part now was deciding what truck was the best candidate for a complete build. Mike Craig (Fatman's frame and install shop manager at the time) and Tim towed the '53 five-window over to Tim's house first, since it was the more desirable of the two pickups. Tim said, "It was a rusty and well-used farm truck that has seen its better days."
This was also about the same time the movie "Cars" was out and Tim's young boys Anthony (9) and Joe (4) were really into it. When Mike and Tim brought the truck home for the first time, Tim's boys ran over to mom and said "Mom! Dad just brought home Mater!" When Tim found out what the boys said he was overcome with joy, because that meant they showed interest in the truck, a father's dream.
The floorboards and toe boards were replaced first and Tim decided it was a good idea to have Mike Casanova (Fatman's install shop employee) come over and help weld the exterior panels because Tim didn't want to warp them. Mike received some good old country cooking in trade for his welding and fabrication skills. Now that's a trade. The frame was in no better shape than the cab, so what better way to sharpen his fabrication skills than building a new frame in the Fatman shop. With some instruction from the Fatman crew, Tim spent countless weekend hours building his very own frame. This way he could explain how to install parts over the phone from personal experiences and hardships.
Tim's plan was to finish the truck in six months to a year, but even he admits that his plan was a very naive. It is now four years later and thanks to Rich Delarosa, Mike Casanova, Josh Layton, Brent Vandervort, Delton Russell, Keith Wade, Tom Norman, Ashley McVickers, Mike Craig, and Pete D'Orta and Tim's family for support during the build. The '53 would still be in the beginning stages if it weren't for everyone's help.
Editor's note: I was handed the keys to Tim's truck and I was a little timid at first, but once behind the wheel the truck drove better than my rental car. Nice job Tim.

Cape Canaveral, FL (WTSP/Florida Today) -- Twin NASA spacecraft deliberately crashed into a mountain on the moon Monday afternoon, ending a successful mission that is shedding light on the evolution of the solar system's
terrestrial planets.
Each about the size
of compact washing machines, the Ebb and Flow spacecraft are low on
fuel, and they've finished a $496 million mission aimed at making the
most accurate gravitational map of the moon to date.
the spacecraft were directed on a shallow dive into a mile-high
mountain near the moon's north pole - a controlled crash-landing that occurred in the lunar night.
NASA made sure the the spacecraft would be brought down far away from any historical site on the moon.
Expected velocity at impact is 3,760 mph. But don't expect anything dramatic here on Earth.
are not expecting a big splash or a big explosion, OK?" said Maria
Zuber, a professor of geophysics at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and the mission's principal scientific investigator.
"These are two small spacecraft ... with empty fuel tanks. So we are not expecting a flash that is visible from Earth."
The last time the space agency intentionally fired manmade objects at
the moon was in 2009, but it was for the sake of science. The crash was
a public relations dud - spectators barely saw a faint flash - but the
experiment proved that the moon contained water.
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will zoom over the crash site not long
after Monday's impact, but no imagery is expected because the mountainous region
will be in shadow at the time.
Still, it will be a destructive end to NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission.
going to make a crater on the moon, and they are going to be completely
blown apart at the time," said GRAIL project manager David Lehman of
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
You wouldn't want to be standing at the crash site.
"It would be like a washing machine coming in and landing on you, and it would be a very bad day for you," Lehman said.
Ebb and Flow spacecraft blasted off on Sept. 10, 2011, aboard a United
Launch Alliance Delta II rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's
Complex 17.
It was
an era-ending finale for the venerable Delta II, a workhorse rocket
designed and developed after the 1986 Challenger accident to fly Navstar
Global Positioning System (GPS) spacecraft into orbit. The GRAIL twins
arrived in lunar orbit three months later - on Dec. 31, 2011, and Jan.
1, 2012.
Flying in formation, they zoomed around the moon at an altitude of
34 miles and trained scientific instruments on its surface, making the
highest-fidelity gravitational maps of any rocky body in the solar
system - including Earth.
Data from the spacecraft show the lunar crust is much thinner than scientists had believed before.
more, the lunar surface - which has been bombarded by asteroids and
comets for billions of years - is much more pulverized than previously
"What we
found is just how broken up and fractured the crust of the moon is,"
Zuber said. "There is evidence that fracturing extends maybe several
tens of kilometers into the upper mantle."
that finding could go a long way toward explaining one of the great
mysteries of the solar system - where all the water that once was awash
on the surface of Mars might have gone.
planetary crusts have been bombarded in a similar way. Earth has ... Mars
has. With Mars, there's a lot of questions about where did the water
that we think was on the surface of Mars go," Zuber said.
if a planetary crust is that fractured, these fractures provide a
pathway deep inside the planet, and it's very easy to envision now how a
possible ocean at its surface could have found its way deep into the
crust of a planet."
One other key finding relates to the origin of the moon - where it came from; how it was created.
Zuber said instruments on GRAIL determined that the amount of aluminum in the crusts of the moon and Earth are nearly equal.
that observation provides additional support for the theory that the
moon formed by a giant impact of a Mars-sized body into Earth," she
Bottom line: the moon is a chip off the old block.

Edelbrock Buick Performer RPM Cylinder Heads- Big Buick Bolt-On!Written by on June 1, 2009 Get 50 More Horsepower To The Wheels With Edelbrock's New Buick Performer RPM Cylinder Heads.
One of the key enablers to building a different engine for your street/strip car is finding a cylinder head that flows plenty of air and fuel, and is widely available. Fans of the big-inch Buick V-8s (mostly the 455) have found the cylinder head issue a tough hurdle to get over...until now. Edelbrock has introduced an aluminum Buick V-8 Performer RPM cylinder head that melds the best design elements of mainstream performance cylinder heads into a Buick cylinder head envelope. Engine builders have commented to us about how this cylinder head bolts on with a minimum of changes to the engine and makes great power, so we decided to learn about installing these new performance heads, and experience the power first hand. To do so, we went to the Buick specialists at White Racing and Marine, in Warren, Michigan, to follow along as they installed and integrated the Edelbrock Buick Performer RPM heads onto an existing street/strip Buick V-8. When the install was over, White Racing picked up 50 hp to the rear wheels on their chassis dyno with the Buick Performer RPM cylinder heads.
New Performance
The Buick Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads are really what Buick enthusiasts have been waiting for: readily available, solid performing cylinder heads. The number of Buick cast-iron heads available has dwindled dramatically, and many of those heads that are still around have issues, like cracks and rust. And since there was never an aluminum production cylinder head, the Edelbrock head offers an added bonus of reducing the weight over the nose of the vehicle, versus the production cast-iron heads, by 56 pounds!
These Edelbrock Performer RPM heads are designed for street/strip high-performance use on '67-81 400-, 430-, and 455ci Buick V-8 engines (you need at least a 4.040-inch bore diameter to use these heads). They work well between 1,500 and 6,500 rpm, which should be great for the vehicle being upgraded in this story. Many would classify our guinea pig car as a Saturday-night special, with its Dyers blower, loose B&M converter, and DOT-legal Mickey Thompsons.
Like some of the other Performer RPM heads from Edelbrock, the Buick version uses 3/8-inch stud-mounted Chevy small-block rockers. (We ordered a set of 1.6:1 ratio rockers from Comp Cams, and they worked great.)
By designing these heads to use one of the most common and proven valvetrain designs, Edelbrock has minimized the valvetrain costs (and eliminated the need to use the expensive shaft-mount rocker systems) while providing optimal performance and durability. The Performer RPM heads come with special Edelbrock pushrod guideplates that are set up for 3/8-inch-diameter pushrods. Edelbrock recommends ordering pushrods that are 9.650 inches long; we ordered this length pushrod from Comp Cams (which is an off-the-shelf item for them) and they provided optimal valvetrain geometry on the 455 Buick being upgraded here.
The Buick Performer RPM heads feature a 68cc wedge-style combustion chamber, 2.125-/1.750-inch intake/exhaust stainless steel, one-piece, swirl-polished valves with undercut stems for increased flow. The Performer RPM heads also have performance-enhanced intake and exhaust ports (215cc and 130cc, respectively) that line up with the mounting locations for the production intake and exhaust systems. The heads feature an enhanced 5/8-inch-thick deck surface to be able to handle impressive power without any sealing issues.
Edelbrock does offer an aluminum Performer RPM intake manifold and carburetor system that works well with these heads, but the Buick engine being upgraded for this story has a hand-built blower intake (hey, if you're going to be different in your engine package, you might as well go all the way, right?), so this engine will stick with the intake/blower system it has been running.
The spark plug location is also in the stock location on the Buick Performer RPM heads, but uses a 14mm thread pitch, -inch reach, 5/8-inch hex, and a gasketed-seat spark plug. White Racing recommends an Autolite 3924 spark plug, gapped to 0.032 inch on the Performer RPM heads.
You can purchase the Buick Performer RPM heads assembled with valves, valvesprings, retainers, and guide plates for 3/8-inch pushrods, or as a machined casting. We ordered the heads fully assembled for this engine because the existing valvesprings were worn out and would have needed to be replaced anyway.
The installation process that White Racing performed included inspecting and prepping the new cylinder heads, doing a mock install with some Comp Cams checking valvesprings installed on one cylinder to check valve-to-piston clearance and valvetrain geometry, checking that all the cylinder head studs were properly installed (an Edelbrock-recommended procedure for these engines) and then installing the heads.
In the end, the upgrade netted a peak-to-peak increase of 48 hp (and up to 57 hp at one point in the power curve), which is pretty much about everything one could ask for when making a cylinder head upgrade.

On The Dyno
This supercharged 461ci Buick is not built to go racing, but it is built to look and sound like it is built to go racing...while still being somewhat docile enough to drive around town. With that said, this engine combination produces good power, but getting the dyno to record those numbers was difficult, as this engine is backed by a 5,500rpm stall converter that would not fully hook up until about 5,700 rpm, so the chassis dyno results capture a very narrow portion of the engine's rpm band. They do, however, give a good snapshot of the gains that came from the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, and leave us looking forward to letting this engine sing at wide open throttle (WOT) on a warm summer Saturday night.
How To Swap Buick Heads
The father-son team of Dan and Chris White at White Racing go throughan exhaustive checklist when installing a set of Buick cylinder heads.Here are the majority of the steps they perform:
* Check for debris, and machine away burrs or casting flash
* Inspect for and fix any rough casting transitions in ports (the Edelbrock heads are CNC-machine port matched, so this was already done on the Performer RPM heads)
* Clean parts thoroughly with lacquer thinner and clean rag
* Check installation clearances
* Install checking valvesprings on one intake and exhaust valve
* Measure valvespring rate for valve-closed and max-open height
* Measure chamber volume to determine static combustion ratio
* Mock assembled cylinder head on block with head gasket and two head fasteners
* Measure valve-to-piston clearance
* Rotate crankshaft until piston is at 5 degrees after TDC
* Push down on valve until it touches piston head. Measure retainer height from the base of the valvespring seat (ex: 1.020 inch)
* Let the valve sit in its closed position and measure the height of the retainer (ex: 1.900 inch)
* Determine maximum intake valve lift by multiplying the intake lobe lift height (on your cam card) by the rocker ratio (0.312 inch x 1.6 = 0.499 inches of lift)
* Make sure there is at least 0.030 inches of retainer-to-valve seal clearance at this height
* Subtract the max valve-lift number (ex: .499 inch) from the closed valve height (ex: 1.900 - 0.499 = 1.401 inch) to get the max lift height
* Now subtract the valve-to-piston touch height from the max valve lift height to determine if you have enough clearance
* The difference in the max lift and piston-to-valve contact height should be at least 0.090 inch. If it isn't, pistons with valve reliefs will need to be installed in the engine, or the valve lift needs to be reduced.
* For the exhaust valve, rotate the crankshaft to position the piston 10 degrees before TDC and repeat the test on the exhaust valve using the process described above for the intake valve
* Install pushrods/rockers/adjuster nuts to check that the pushrod has clearance in the head's pushrod hole
* Check valvetrain geometry (that the rocker tip stays on the center of the valve tip)
* Determine the ideal pushrod length, and recheck pushrod clearance to the head
* Check that the rocker has clearance around the valvespring retainer
* Mock up the exhaust and intake manifolds with the gaskets to make sure they fit
* Install the valvecover with a gasket to check the clearance between the valvecover and the rockers
* Remove the head from engine, and inspect the block to determine the vintage
* '69 and earlier Buick blocks had an oil passage near the front that will need to be plugged with a 0.350-inch-diameter aluminum plug when using the Edelbrock heads
* Remove the rockers and checking valvesprings, and install the Edelbrock valvesprings, retainers, and locks
* Inspect the existing valvetrain (camshaft lobes, distributor drive, lifters)
* Install the head gasket with it covering the coolant holes (it can be installed two ways)
* Make sure studs or fasteners screw into the block hand tight, then apply thread sealer on the threads and final install
* Install the head on the block, and install fasteners
* Torque down the head fasteners in radial sequence from the center outward, making three or four passes until the top row of bolts are torqued to 110 lb-ft, and the bottom row to 110 lb-ft
* Install the pushrods with a dab of engine assembly lube on the tips
* Install the rockers with some engine assembly lube on the cup of the rocker
* Disassemble the rocker lock nuts/Allen screws, wipe some Moly on the threads, and reassemble
* Hand thread the rocker lock nuts on the rocker studs
* Starting at the number one cylinder, set the valvetrain preload on each valve
* Drain the old oil out of the engine
* Add some new engine oil, pour it over the lifters, cam, rockers, pushrods, and valves when adding (add an engine oil supplement for starting a brand-new engine)
* Install the exhaust gaskets and headers
* Using an engine oil pump pre-oiler, spin the oil pump until the engine has oil pressure
* Rotate the crank in 90 degree increments for 720 degrees until you see oil at all 16 rockers
* Install the intake manifold with gaskets and sealer
* Install the remaining engine components until the engine is assembled
* Install the distributor set at 30 degrees static advance (set engine at 30 BTDC and set the distributor in place with the rotor pointing at the number one cylinder post)
* Fill the coolant system with a 50/50 coolant/water mix
* Leave the radiator cap off for startup to top off the coolant system before it gets hot
* Start the engine, bring it to 3,000 rpm, top off the cooling system, and install the radiator cap
* Set the timing using a timing light to 30 degrees BTDC with the engine running
* Shut off when the engine is up to temperature

The passage where the Comp Cams 3/8-inch pushrods pass through the cylinder head was checked to make sure the pushrods steer clear of the cylinder head. White Racing checks this by shining a light up from the intake valley through each hole and looking for light around the pushrod throughout the full range of the motion of the rockers--it is not acceptable for the pushrod to touch the head material during the rocker motion.When making a cylinder head change on an engine, it's always a good idea to check that the valvetrain geometry is properly set. This is checked by mock assembling the valvetrain with the pushrods (engine builders often use an adjustable length checking pushrod), and inspecting that the rocker tip stays on the center of the valve tip. Where the rocker tip touches the valve tip is adjusted with the pushrod length. White Racing ordered Comp Cams 3/8-inch-diameter, 9.650-inch long pushrods and they produced excellent valvetrain geometry.White Racing has a lot of experience with boosted engine packages (turbos, blowers, nitrous), so they are big on gluing the gaskets on the intake and exhaust mating surfaces. On the intake side, they apply a very light bead of Permatex Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive to the head side of the intake gasket and position it on the head. This holds the gasket in place during the cylinder head install.Note that the head gasket material covers all the cooling passages on the deck of the Buick's block--make sure you install it in this fashion to cover those holes.Carefully lower the Edelbrock heads down over the studs. In this case, the long studs on the driver side of the engine need to be put in after the cylinder head is installed to get around the master cylinder booster. Before the install, the block threads of all the studs should be wiped with thread sealer, threaded in hand-tight, then turned another quarter turn. Moly lube needs to be wiped on the nut threads of the studs before they're installed.The heads were then torqued down using factory recommended sequence and torque figures: 110 lb-ft on the top fasteners, and 100 lb-ft on lower fasteners. Make two or three passes on the fasteners to sneak up on the torque setting. From here, the valvetrain was assembled on the Edelbrock heads.In preparation for pressurizing the oiling system, the White team drained the old oil and added new oil to the engine with the intake still off the engine. White Racing does this because they like to pour oil onto the cam lobes/lifters/pushrods as they fill the engine. Once the engine is fully assembled, they spin the oil pump until oil squirts out the pushrods at the rockers, slowly rotating the crank.The valvetrain preload was then set. The big Buick V-8s have a firing order of 18436572 (same as a small-block Chevy V-8) with the number one cylinder at the front of the driver side of the engine, so the engine was set at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the number one cylinder. From here, the process of setting the valvetrain preload was begun.To prep for installing the intake manifold, the White Racing team likes to apply Permatex Ultra Black Silicone on the china walls (front and back) and coat the gasket with Permatex Aviation Form-a-Gasket. The intake is then set on the engine (the Buick has dowels on the back driver side and front passenger side that the intake sits in) and the china wall silicone is wiped and pushed back into the gap before the fasteners are hand started, then torqued to 25 lb-ft.
Once assembled, the engine was started and brought to 3,000 rpm (varying approximately +/- 200 rpm) for 20 minutes with a bunch of fans blowing through the engine bay. You should be busy checking for leaks, making sure the engine has enough oil pressure (approximate 10 psi per 1,000 rpm, minimum of 30 psi) and setting the ignition timing advance. The total timing advance was set to 30 degrees before TDC with the engine running at 3,000 rpm.

Associated Press Release
People keep asking Joe Berti if he's unlucky.
A bomb exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon seconds after Berti finished the race. Two days later, he was in his home state of Texas when he saw a fertilizer plant explode near Waco.
But the Texas resident says he's far from unlucky -- instead, he's quite fortunate. Not only did he leave both explosions unscathed, but his wife, who was closer to the bombings in Boston than he was, was also unhurt.
Berti and his wife, Amy, agree that being witness to two catastrophes in a 48-hour period is a little crazy. And they are praying for those whose lives were changed forever by the tragedies.

Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal is back.
Not that the 11-time Grand Slam champion went anywhere, but the former world
No. 1 returned to the winner's circle Sunday with a straight-set rout of David
Nalbandian for the title at the Brasil Open.
Nadal returned from a seven-month injury layoff last week with a runner-up
finish at the VTR Open in Chile. This time, the Spanish superstar made no
mistake and earned his 51st career title with a 6-2, 6-3 victory in Sunday's
The 26-year-old Mallorcan claimed this clay-court title for the second time,
having previously won it in his 2005 debut when it was played in Costa do
Sauipe. He improved to 51-22 all-time in finals, including 37-5 on clay.
Nadal's 35 titles on the slow surface are still third all-time, behind only
Thomas Muster (40) and Guillermo Vilas (45). He won a title for the first time
since capturing his seventh French Open championship last June.
A knee injury kept him sidelined for a majority of 2012 and the start of this
After Nadal breezed through the first set Sunday, Nalbandian tried to make it
a match by winning the first three games of the second set with a pair of
Nadal, who lost to unheralded Horacio Zeballos last week in three sets, wasn't
about to let another match slip through his hands. He quickly regrouped and
ripped off the last six games.
Nalbandian fell to 11-13 all-time in finals and hasn't won a title since the
summer of 2010 in Washington, DC. He was playing his first tournament of 2013,
sitting out the last two months of 2012 with an abdominal injury.
Nadal improved to 5-2 all-time against Nalbandian, beating the Argentine
veteran for the fifth straight time. It was their first meeting in a final
since Nalbandian's 6-4, 6-0 triumph at the 2007 Paris Indoors.
The two also played doubles together this week, but withdrew after their first
match to allow Nadal rest for his still aching knee.

Belgrade, Serbia (SportsNetwork.com) - The Davis Cup World Group final will
commence Friday with an opening singles rubber between former world No. 1
star Novak Djokovic and Czech veteran Radek Stepanek.
The host Serbs announced that one-time world No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic will be
unable to play this weekend as he continues to recover from a right heel
injury he suffered in Valencia, Spain, last month.
Following Djokovic-Stepanek on Day 1 will be a bout between world No. 7 Czech
Tomas Berdych and Tipsarevic's replacement, 117th-ranked Dusan Lajovic.
Saturday's doubles rubber currently pits a Serbian duo of Nenad Zimonjic and
Ilija Bozoljac against a Czech tandem of Lukas Rosol and Jan Hajek, but recent
history would suggest that former Wimbledon runner-up Berdych and the 34-year-
old Stepanek will play for the visitors in that one on the indoor hardcourt at
Belgrade Arena.
Sunday's reverse singles have the red-hot world No. 2 Djokovic battling
Berdych and Stepanek taking on the 23-year-old Lajovic.
The Australian Open titlist Djokovic has won his last 22 matches, including a
title just this week at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London.
The Czechs are the reigning Davis Cup champs, having beaten Spain in last
year's best-of-five final in Prague when the heroic Stepanek won a fifth and
deciding rubber.
The Serbs are captained by Bogdan Obradovic, while the Czechs, appearing in
their third final in five years, are skippered by Jaroslav Navratil.
Serbia and the Czech Republic have split their two previous meetings. The
Czechs beat the visiting Serbs in a quarterfinal matchup last year, while host
Serbia prevailed in a semifinal in 2010, the year the Serbs corralled their
lone Davis Cup title.

|Cold doesn't stop holiday festivities
|Written by Chris Lee
It took every glove, scarf, coat and hat one could find to stay warm, but the annual Country Christmas and Parade of Lights was deemed a success.
"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" served as the theme for the Parade of Lights—and feel like Christmas it did. With a slight amount of snow left in areas, temperatures stayed low but didn't keep people at home where it was warm.
Residents were met with temperatures in the teens as they made their way downtown for an evening of fun.
Phillips County Museum welcomed 30 visitors as people stepped in out of the cold to take a look back at Phillips County history while enjoying cider and cookies.
Sixty-five children enjoyed "One Magic Christmas" at the Peerless Theatre prior to receiving candy bags from Santa Claus and the Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department.
HVFD members also served roughly 300 people at the annual soup supper. Donations from the supper will go toward the 2012 annual 4th of July fireworks display.
As folks lined up for soup, they were given the chance to enter a guess in Jolly Dozen's candy guessing game. Joann Stein was the adult winner who hit it right on the head with 205. Lexi Harms won for the children and guessed 110 which was six off the 116 mark.
Brittany Krueger of Prairie Photography snapped 74 photos of kids on Santa and Mrs. Claus' laps. Children were given the chance to turn in their Christmas wishes to Santa as well.
Just before the Parade of Lights began Monday night, Joel Estrada
Onlookers emerged from their warm parked cars to catch a glimpse of the annual parade sponsored by PC Telcom and Highline Electric Association.
Taking home the prize for Originality and Creativity and first place was Colorado State University Extension Office. Holyoke Assembly of God earned Best Decorative Effect and second place and Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union earned the prize for Best Use of Lighting and third place.
Throughout the night, people were given the chance to grab warm drinks and goodies around town, in addition to shopping locally at some of Holyoke's many businesses.
Holyoke General Store offered meat and cheese snacks, Lions Club members served hot cider, Holyoke Centennial 4-H Club offered hot beverages, Phillips County Family Education Services served hot chocolate and burritos and Zion Lutheran Church and Early Childhood Council had books of all kinds on display.

Baltimore Police Shoot 40-Year-Old Parolee During Traffic Stop
A 40-year-old Baltimore man was shot and killed by police after a routine traffic stop turned into a confrontation between the man and police officers.
Police said that Shawn Dewayne Dean, pulled over by two officers after he failed to stop at a stop sign, was shot by one of two police officers who stopped him in the Belair-Edison neighborhood at about 10 p.m.
"The officers observed a vehicle roll through a stop sign," Commissioner Anthony Batts said in a news conference. "They stopped the car a few blocks away and two plainclothes officers who clearly identified themselves as officers, approached the vehicle."
Batts said the one officer approached the driver side and the other approached the passenger side window.
He said the officers noticed Dean, who was on parole for a drug law conviction, seemed "extremely nervous when they spoke to him."
While one officer stepped away from the vehicle, one remained close to the car. Dean started his vehicle and drove off, police said.
"Somehow—which is not clear as of yet—the officer got caught up in the vehicle and was dragged two blocks," Batts said.
In order to disengage himself from the moving car, the officer fired shots at Dean, causing his four-door silver sedan to jump a curb, coming to rest at the corner of Shannon Drive and Mannasota Ave.
Dean's 19-year-old daughter was a passenger in the car. She was later questioned and released, but not charged with any crime.
"The driver in this case was determined not to cooperate," Batts said.
Dean had 18 months left on his parole, court documents show. According to court records, Dean has been arrested previously for assault with the intent to murder, hand gun violations and drug-related charges.
According to Baltimore Police Deputy Commissioner John Skinner, police found a "felony amount of crack cocaine inside his vehicle."
The officer who fired at Dean, whose identity has not been released, was treated and released from a local hospital and was placed on administrative leave. The shooting is being investigated, police said.

Hall of Fame Trainer Bud Klokstad
Dead in California at Age 79
AUBURN, Wash. (March 28, 2012) – Bud Klokstad, one of the greatest trainers in state history, died early Wednesday morning at his home in Northern California.
Klokstad, 79, was found dead at the family's condominium in Richmond, Calif., not far from Golden Gate Fields where Klokstad maintained a string of runners.
A member of the Washington Racing Hall of Fame, Klokstad had been in poor health for several months and had spent time in the hospital recently for a kidney ailment. Nevertheless, he continued to win races at a high percentage—he was six-for-22 in 2012 including a victory Saturday by Majestic Afleet, a 5-year-old gelding owned by his wife Billie and longtime client Art McFadden.Born March 1, 1933 and reared on the plains of North Dakota, Bud Klokstad began his training career in 1955.Along the way he conditioned many of the fastest horses in Washington history while finishing second in career stakes wins at both Longacres (54) and Emerald Downs (43).
No horse was faster than the brilliant gelding Chinook Pass, a Washington-bred son of Native Born whom Klokstad conditioned to a world record time of :55-1/5 for five furlong, set Sept. 17, 1982 at Longacres. Chinook Pass next conquered Southern California, winning six stakes stakes races before capping his career with a dominant triumph in the 1983 Longacres Mile. Chinook Pass finished his career with 11 stakes wins and in 1983 was voted the Eclipse Award as the nation's outstanding sprinter.
Klokstad also developed a reputation for developing 2-year-olds, saddling a record seven winners of the Gottstein Futurity, including 1992 Longacres Horse of the Meeting Staff Rider, a Washington-bred son of Staff Writer who won five stakes and a then single-season earnings record of $280,549.
At Emerald Downs, Klokstad conditioned the filly Ropersandwranglers to a track record seven consecutive stakes victories from 1996-98 and three division championships. Flying Notes, voted 2002 Horse of the Meeting, turned in one of the most exceptional races in track history for Klokstad while winning the 2002 Emerald Downs Derby in a state record 1:45-2/5 for 1-1/8 miles.
Klokstad also trained the state's No. 1 all-time filly or mare earner Peterhof's Patea, a 1988 Peterhof foal voted into the Washington Racing Hall of Fame after winning 16-of-52 starts and earning $623,367.
Klokstad, who last trained regularly at Emerald Downs in 2008, was planning to return here this season and had been granted 19 stalls for the 2012 meeting that begins April 13. Owner Gordy Jarnig, who enjoyed spectacular success with Klokstad in the claiming game, haltering stalwarts like Reba Is Tops and Upstairs Maid, said the trainer would be missed.
"If you didn't know Bud, he could be a little hard to understand," Jarnig said. "He had that my way or the highway thing with the horses, but I loved the guy and always enjoyed talking to him and listening to him. It's really sad." Klokstad will be cremated as per his wish and a private ceremony will be held next week at Belcrest Memorial Park Cemetery in Salem, Ore., where both his mother and son are buried.A memorial service for Klokstad is scheduled for May 10 at noon in the Emerald Room at Emerald Downs.

text: Has anyone had this problem. I am using Fedora Core 4 along with the Zimbra version for this release. Everything seems to be working but it takes forever to build, I mean hours! I started things up last night and it is still running, it is making progress just slowly, something must be wrong I am just not sure what. I have plenty of CPU a RAM power so I do not think that is the problem. I will check the logs tonight but I thought I post this to see if anyone else had similiar problems.

Today's lunchtime mapping tip - my workflow on mapping hills:
1. Lay in the shadows with a large fuzzy brush. In photoshop or the Gimp I'd suggest doing this on a layer with the blend mode set to overlay.
2. Lay in the highlights with a slightly smaller fuzzy brush. Avoid sharp edges. You want hills to be rolling, and in contrast to the sharp peaks of a mountain range. Again, here I've done this on an overlay layer.
3. Add colour (here I'm a layer with the blend mode set to colour) and leave the hills slightly browner than the flat plains. That helps to differentiate them - and means that even with subtle light and shade they'll be easy to read at a glance.
A couple of other things to keep in mind:
Lay in the rivers first. As rivers drain the water out of hills, they will determine where the hills should go.
Less is more when it comes to shadows and highlights here. Your mountains should have the darkest shadows. Make sure that your hill shadows are quite a bit more subtle.
