The mountains are a little blurry in comparison to the forests. Given the overall crisp look of the map, you could try to sharpen up the mountains.
Anything else..... very nice! Are the rivers hand-tapered or did you use a script?
Thanks. I'm yet to find a good way to make mountains in PS6. Tried Arsheesh's Gimp/Wilburn (his map looks phenomenal) but coulodn't make it work even close. So I guess trial and error it is
I used Shape Dynamics for rivers with different diameters and lengths.
I'm not the biggest fan of this "bevel and emboss" layer style you are using on the main land (I guess you used it to give some elevation to the shore) but imo it is not needed or maybe lesser the strength of it.
I also agree that you could try to sharpen the mountains somehow. =]
I agree with Freodin and Nian; the mountains are a bit blurry and the bevel and emboss along the shore is too steep. Otherwise, not bad so far.
Loving that mountain! It looks like there's a little bit of a pinch of some kind along the ridgelines. I'm not sure if that's coming from a heightmap or a bevel contour, or what, but if the very tippy-top of the ridges were slightly less bright I think they'd be pretty close to perfect.
Try adjusting the bevel highlight colors on the land and forests. Right now they're looking a bit like they're carved from plastic or clay. We're not really seeing light reflecting off a surface here, we're simply seeing the aggregate stronger lighting on the lit side. Does that make any sense at all? Anyway, instead of a white highlight, I think it should be closer to the color of the landform being illuminated.
Also, I think I liked the spread size on the trees better in your first image. The second makes them look a bit too much like hills instead of trees because the bevel spreads out so far from the edges. Sorry, I'm not sure of the exact names of the controls I'm talking about; I don't have PS in front of me at the moment.
Thanks for the feed back. I'm gonna play around a bit and post a couple of tries later on.
Would you say the crisper the trees the better?
To a point. You generally want all of the elements of an image to be similar in terms of sharpness unless there is a reason for the variation. That will help to create unity and make it all look like part of the same image rather than pieces from multiple sources.

Steel Fabrication On A 1932 Ford Three-Window - Something Old, Something New...Written by on February 1, 2009 Transforming Tired Tin
Despite the decades-old availability of fiberglass bodies, the vast majority of rods out there still use original steel bodies, and many of them are approaching 90 years of age. With age comes rust as well as fatigue, resulting in stress cracks, split sheetmetal, and thin, brittle steel. One of the more common places this occurs on '32 Ford three-window coupes is in the beltline area where the roof meets the rear quarters just behind the doors. Indeed two people in the R&C office who own these cars report theirs have fatigued in exactly this area.
So when I heard Walden Speed Shop was going to repair an original body that had the same damage, and that the repair panels would be fabricated using nothing more fancy than a bead roller, shrinker/stretcher, and hand tools, it seemed a good opportunity to grab my camera and head out to their shop in Pomona. While the repair panel may seem a tricky shape, it's not that hard to fabricate and will last a whole lot longer than trying to weld up the holes in such brittle steel.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's our subject, a well-worn three-window that is in need of some corrective surgery around the beltline. You can see to the right of the pic that it's already had some repairs, but it's the area inside the dotted lines we're concerned with.First order of business for Wesley Kent was to make a paper pattern of the required patch panel, cutting slits in it to allow for the curvature.The pattern was then transferred to 18-gauge steel, along with the slit marks. Tape was added to follow the line of the crease that will be required in the panel.The crease was added using this knife edge upper die in a bead roller, with the lower covered with a piece of rubber tubing.Using a shot bag and this hand-fabricated tool, Wesley started to form the crease. Note the 'blade' is curved, meaning the crease will be curved. You could grind the tip of a wide cold chisel for the same effect.Though this industrial stretcher is used at Walden Speed Shop, hobby versions are available. Here Wesley puts some curvature into the panel by stretching it.
An air hammer was used to smooth out the wrinkles. You could use a hammer and dolly, it would just take longer.Plenty more repetition of the shot bag, trial fit, air hammer, stretcher, trial fit procedure followed, before Wesley trimmed the excess from the patch. With the curve and crease dialed in, the curve of the beltline reveal had to be added. A dolly held in a vise, a soft mallet, and a pair of panel grips were the low-tech answer here.The shrinker jaws helped form the beltline reveal, followed by more work with the mallet and vise-held dolly to match the curve of the panel below the reveal.The mallet was replaced by a body hammer for more refined shaping over the dolly, followed by another trial fit, which also included adding tape, the metal above which will be trimmed. The leather mallet was used first as it formed the metal without the stretching that occurs with a steel hammer.The overlong patch was next cut along the crease and the end formed over the dolly to create the section inside the doorjamb.With the doorjamb section done, the patch fits perfectly, so it was clamped in place, but not before dye was added to the body. The edges of the patch were then scribed onto the body for perfect trimming.

|CHS-Grainland plans shuttle construction
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Plans to enhance grain shuttle loading capacity on the Nebraska Kansas Colorado Railway (NKCR) line are moving forward.
Grainland Cooperative, a business unit of CHS Inc., announced Monday, Nov. 19 that construction details are being finalized, and it is anticipated the project could break ground as soon as next month.
"This project is a significant infrastructure investment to ensure our patrons have access to competitive bids well into the future," said Grainland General Manager Rick Unrein.
"And it was among the key reasons we chose to partner with CHS for the long-term success of our producers. We are excited to get this project started," Unrein added.
The 15-month project, which will improve input deliveries and grain shipments via expanded shuttle loading capacity, is expected to be operational by late spring 2014.
Grainland Cooperative provides agronomy, feed, grain and energy products from Colorado locations in Holyoke, Amherst, Fleming, Haxtun, Julesburg, New Haven and Stateline. It is part of CHS, a leading global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States.

Twitter was alive with photos of actor and comedian Bill Murray's 2013 appearance at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
The buzz-worthy celebrity took things to a new level with a mustache that CBS Sports called "the best facial hair" at the tournament.
As you can see in the photo gallery, Murray went to have a good time and make sure others did too.

ARLINGTON, Va. (Aisha Chowdhry, WUSA9) -- Dawn Halfaker is dedicated to serving her community. During her military career, she was deployed to Iraq in 2004.
That's when tragedy struck.
She remembers waking up in the hospital with no right arm. A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) went right through her Humvee when her unit drove into an ambush. But that did not deter her from running a successful contracting company in the Washington metropolitan area.
Her professional services and technology firm helps government organizations with issues that have national and global significance. The Department of Defense, Department of Veteran Affairs, and the Department of Homeland Security are among the many clients that Halfaker and Associates caters to.
"When I got injured, and found out and woke up from a coma, and lost an arm...I thought my life was over," Dawn recalls of her first few moments in the hospital after her unit was attacked.
She lost her right arm in that ambush in 2004. Her 25th birthday was spent in the hospital recovering. She had to learn how to play basketball again, and little things like tying her shoes. Most of all she learned compassion and knowing that its okay when others help her.
"Its really taught me to rely on the help of other people."
In 2006, Dawn, the 'one-woman-Army', as she calls herself, started Halfaker and Associates in an effort to continue to serve the community.
"It kind of overcomes and helps you forget, oh I'm missing an arm or I'm missing a leg..helps you move on so I wanted to use my company and help in a way that would provide opportunities for those people," she said.
Dawn gives back each day. Her company employs around a hundred people and almost half of them are wounded warriors and veterans.
Michael Alan Sinks lost part of his hearing in Iraq and knows the challenges veterans face when they are trying to find a job back home.
"I don't think that a lot of employers understand the skills that veterans have. They don't transition well from being a gunner in Iraq to working contract administration," said Sinks.
His job prior to this was in Afghanistan working as a counter-suicide bomber.
He was able to find a job at a place where his boss knows that their military experiences will always be a part of their lives.
Dawn has gained a great amount of success over the course of time but she knows that the wounds of war will always remain.
"There's probably not a day that goes by that I don't somehow acknowledge that memory, and obviously not having an arm, that's also something that usually comes up during the day, I get frustrated trying to do a little task, but really I think, when I think about everything else that's going on today, and people are still getting injured or..soldiers or war-fighters are still on the front-lines and.. sometimes it takes me back."

"There's no other way to put this: Sen. McCain, shut up"
by Barbara Morrill
"No, wait, let me keep talking."
With conditions deteriorating in Iraq—because of the actions of Iraqi President Maliki and the Iraqi government and the Iraqi military and the Iraqi insurgents and the Iraqi religious factions—Republican Sen. John "Wannabe President" McCain, thwarted in his dream to have U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years, is making the media rounds to blame it all on President Obama.
"The president wanted out and now we are paying a heavy price," the Arizona Republican said on MSNBC. "We had it won," McCain said. The U.S. "had the conflict won thanks to the surge … We had a stable government."The only people stupid enough to think we ever had this war "won" were the same ones who predicted we'd "absolutely" be greeted as liberators, who thought the war would be paid for by Iraqi oil, who thought the Sunnis and Shia would "get along," who declared the war would "be brief," and that of course Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Oh, wait, what was that Sen. McCain?

RALEIGH, N.C. – After waiting through a two-hour rain delay, East Carolina took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first at N.C. State, but the Wolfpack scored the game's final nine runs to earn a 9-3 victory.
Following the shaky opening frame, NCSU pitcher Emily Weiman allowed just three hits over the remaining six innings. The Pirates (15-21) got a two-run home run from sophomore Jordan Lewis in the first inning, but N.C. State (16-22) used two hits, two runs scored and two driven in from Caitlin Dent to help in the win. The second game of Wednesday's originally scheduled doubleheader was canceled due to the rain delay.
Freshman Sarah Christian started in the circle and threw the first two innings, allowing three runs on five hits. Classmate Courtney Smith (3-10) suffered the loss, throwing three-and-a-third innings, giving up six runs on eight hits and a walk. She also fanned two. Senior Priscilla Velasquez recorded the final two outs of the contest and was tagged for one hit. The trio of Pirate pitchers combined to hit five NCSU batters during the contest. Weiman (10-14) went the distance for the Wolfpack, allowing five hits and three unearned runs. She struck out nine and walked a pair.
In the top of the first, East Carolina jumped out to a 3-0 lead with just two hits. After a strikeout started the frame, sophomore Kristi Oshiro drew a walk. Senior Suzanne Riggs also whiffed, but on the third strike, Oshiro stole second base and moved to third as catcher Kirsty Grant's throw was kicked by the sliding Oshiro and ended up in left center. A grounder back to Weiman by Velasquez was mishandled and Oshiro came home on the error to put the Pirates ahead 1-0. After fouling off four-straight pitches, Lewis sent her two-run long ball to left center for the 3-0 advantage. Sophomore Jasmine Robbins kept it going with an infield single, but was caught stealing to end the threat.
N.C. State answered immediately in the bottom of the first, tying the game at 3-3. With two outs and Dent on first base following a fielder's choice, Bethaney Wells doubled down the left-field line to put runners on second and third. Scout Albertson followed with a single to right field that drove in the pair. Katie Mansilla was hit by a pitch to put two on base for Renada Davis, who singled to center to plate Albertson. On the play, Mansilla got caught between second and third and was tagged out in a rundown to close the frame.
The Pirates had a chance to retake the lead in the top of the third, but could not convert. With one out, Oshiro reached on an error and Riggs was hit by a pitch. A pair of strikeouts kept ECU off the board.
Smith entered to start the bottom of the third and the Wolfpack greeted her with back-to-back home runs by Dent and Wells, putting the hosts up 5-3. After a pop out, a single and two hit batsmen loaded the bases with just one out, but consecutive fielder's choices left three on base and ended the inning.
ECU had another opportunity to score in the fifth and could not push across a run. Sophomore Jill Jelnick led off with a single to left and moved to second on Oshiro's Conference USA-leading 10th sacrifice bunt of the season. A groundout to shortstop and lineout to left kept Jelnick from crossing home.
The Wolfpack had a chance to add to its lead in the bottom of the fifth before a double play kept it a two-run contest. Mansilla led off with a single to center. Davis grounded one toward junior third baseman Kai Clark, who made the backhanded snag and strong toss to second for the force on Mansilla. After the fielder's choice, Chelsea Tate walked on four pitches to put runners on first and second. Pinch hitter Sara Lippard entered and grounded into an inning-ending double play as second baseman Oshiro tossed to shortstop Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin, who threw to senior first baseman Priscilla Velasquez.
NCSU put the game out of reach with a four-run sixth for the 9-3 final. Three-straight singles by Landon Warren, Toni Ann Williford and Dent to start the frame delivered the first run. Wells was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Albertson struck out swinging for the first out. Mansilla was hit by a pitch to force in another run and make it a 7-3 contest. Velasquez entered for Smith and retired Davis on a fielder's choice, but Tate singled to right to drive in two more. Velasquez ended the inning throwing Grant out at first on a grounder.
In the seventh, Weiman walked freshman pinch hitter Alexa Cannon to start the frame, but recorded a groundout and consecutive strikeouts to end the contest.
The Pirates resume Conference USA action this weekend with a three-game series against second-place UAB (21-13, 7-2 C-USA). Due to Easter on Sunday, the teams play a doubleheader Friday at 5:00 p.m. and complete the set Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. contest.
Post-Game Notes
-- Sophomore Jordan Lewis extended her hitting streak to a career-high 10 games with a home run to left center in the first inning. The run is also the longest by a Pirate this season.
-- Lewis' long ball in the opening frame was the first extra-base hit by the Pirates since a double during game two of last Wednesday's doubleheader at UNC Wilmington.
-- It was also East Carolina's first home run since senior Suzanne Riggs hit one March 18 at Tulsa, a span of eight games.
-- Lewis took over the team RBI lead and now has 24 this season.
-- Junior Kai Clark recorded two hits and has six in her last three games.
-- The Pirates have dropped three straight to the Wolfpack after winning five consecutive contests.
-- East Carolina falls to 3-11 in road games this season.
-- The nine strikeouts by ECU were the most by the squad since nine at North Carolina on March 13.

Glee's 4th Christmas Album: Listen to All the Music — Even "The Chipmunk Song"!
Less than a month ago, Columbia Records chairman and CEO Rob Stringer told Billboard that 2013 "is the first time in three years we don't have a Glee Christmas album." Well, apparently somebody forgot to tell that to Glee. Because Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, Vol. 4 is now available for pre-order on iTunes.
To be fair, though, this album is a bit different from the previous three installments. While the other three Christmas CDs were full studio albums, this one is only an EP. It contains six songs instead of the usual 12 to 13.
Each of the six songs will appear in December 5's Glee Season 5, Episode 8: "Previously Unaired Christmas." Previous years's soundtracks had featured additional music not included as part of the episode.
Now, the show has released the audio for all of the songs. Take a listen, then head below and let us know which ones are your favorite.
Track List:
- "Here Comes Santa Claus," performed by Kurt, Rachel, and Santana
- "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," performed by the New Directions
- "Mary's Little Boy Child," performed by Marley, Tina, and Unique
- "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)," performed by Kurt, Rachel, and Santana
- "Love Child," performed by Marly, Tina, and Unique
- "Away in a Manger," performed by Kurt, Rachel, Santana, and the New Directions
Are you sad to see a smaller Glee Christmas album this year? Or just happy and relieved that we're getting one at all? And how do you feel about the lack of Glee's annual Klaine duet? Yeah, that one's going to be a bit hard to do without.

My Institution is transitioning from FirstClass to Zimbra.

We are looking for a product that can authenticate off of CAS and provide RSS feeds.
It sure would be nice if Zimbra had the forum features built in ... and I view it as necessary if they want to be "the leader or next-generation messaging and collaboration"
Any thoughts? Any suggestions for such BBS/forum software?

One-on-one with: Izzy Tihanyi
U-T profiles of notable local people
Isabelle "Izzy" Tihanyi refers to herself the "surf" of Surf Diva.
She's co-owner of the renowned La Jolla surf school and boutique that she founded with her twin sister, Caroline "Coco" Tihanyi (the "diva" of Surf Diva).
Open since 1996, the school encourages women to experience surfing through activities that range from camps and private lessons to surf trips and after school programs.
Even though Surf Diva is respected by surf communities around the world, Tihanyi chose to open in La Jolla because it's where she and her two sisters were raised. She even received a surf scholarship to UC San Diego.
Tihanyi, who wouldn't reveal her age ("a diva never tells her age, her weight or her income"), did share what it's like to live a literal beach life.
Q: Why did you create Surf Diva?
A: I love to surf and wanted to see more women in the water.
Q: Surf Diva isn't just for girls, right?
A: Due to popular demand, the boys busted down the door at our school! Besides our original women's clinics, we now teach coed lessons, corporate team building, private lessons, and special events for guys, girls, and kids.
Q: There are so many surfing communities around the world, why did you settle in San Diego?
A: We grew up surfing La Jolla Shores and I've always wanted to stay here. Our waves are super for learning, the surf break bottom is sandy and the beach is beautiful. I've traveled all around the world and this is by far the best place to live and surf.
Q: When and where was the first time you went surfing?
A: My dad taught all three of his daughters how to surf when we were very young. It was part of growing up — we would do our homework at the beach. Our mom taught us to be divas with ballet, violin and debutante balls.
Q: What is the most common reason you hear that people are afraid of surfing?
A: Many people have had a bad experience trying to learn on their own or from an unqualified person. We make surfing a great experience with no pressure or fear because we are patient and noncompetitive. We are all about having fun and feeling confident.
Q: What, in your opinion, is the hardest part of surfing?
A: Being able to read the waves takes patience and water time.
Q: Is your business mostly locals or tourists?
A: We are open year-round so we teach locals as much as tourists. Our new program, Saturday Surf, is geared for locals who want regular coaching to get to the next level. The prerequisite is that you can already catch waves on your own but want to work on wave selection, direction, turns, duck-diving, and positioning. It's more fun to go out with a regular group, and our classes provide the encouragement and motivation to keep going for it.
Q: Your recently lost a lot of weight, can you explain how you did it? How important was surfing in that process?
A: I've always been a bigger girl, and did some plus size modeling so I felt ok about myself, but I was ready to make a big change. I went to Weight Watchers and made stand up paddling (SUP) regularly a priority. As the pounds started to come off, I got extra motivation from a Dr. Oz national challenge. The paddleboarding and surfing are my secret to keeping off the 75 lbs. because it burns so many calories. I can still have my dark chocolate and red wine at the end of the day, which keeps me happy!

Painless Performance Wiring Harness Install - Project Get Shorty Wired Science - TechWritten by on September 7, 2010
When I was 16 years old I set out to build the ultimate stereo for my ride, within my budget that is, which was inauspiciously diminutive. (This is my way of dancing around "unfortunately small!") The only thing I knew about wiring was hot wires and ground wires, and ya need a switch to turn things on. With more gall than brains I gathered all the components: receiver, subwoofer, amps, wires, and the like. Eventually I got it hooked up. From there I decided the inside of my ride needed to light up like a late-night Amsterdam discotheque. By tapping into circuits such as the dome light, power seats, and cigarette lighter I wired in strobe and black lights. It was my crowning achievement in wiring-when it worked that is. Most of the time I overloaded circuits, blew fuses, and melted wires together, but nonetheless I did it! Long story short, wiring is something anyone can accomplish so long as you set out to do it.
The prelude before was the leeway into the next bit in the Project Get Shorty series: wiring. The time has come to provide fire to all those components wasting away in hibernation. Unfortunately, the mere thought of wiring one's truck evokes images of Clark Griswold's Christmas lights to many. Now granted, things are intimidating when you're staring down 100 loose wires! But the truth is, if ya take things on a wire-to-wire basis it's a pretty simple procedure. After all, each item needs battery feed, ground, and a switch to interrupt the circuit. It's that cut-and-dry.
When it comes to wiring, Painless Performance is no stranger in the hot rod world. Painless is in the business of providing all the wiring essentials needed to get your truck on the road. In the world of classic trucks they manufacture stock replacement harnesses-with all the correct plugs predetermined-for just about every application out there. For those with custom needs they also manufacture universal truck kits that can satisfy the most basic wiring needs, or 18-circuit systems that will wire everything including the kitchen fridge! For Get Shorty we went with an 18-circuit '67-72 GM Truck Chassis Wiring Harness. This factory replacement harness will run every component thrown into Get Shorty, and more to be truthful, but what really sold us is the wire lengths are pre-cut and everything has a correct plug-and-play fitting to make the install a breeze. However, not all of Get Shorty's equipment is OEM. Therefore we had to dissect the wiring harness at times, but this too is a cinch when using a Painless kit, as you'll see. The harness covers every need of a fully loaded C10, plus it's outfitted to accommodate new technologies such as power antennas, electric fuel pumps, cruise control, and the like. Basically, this harness is the perfect way to solve all your needs. On top of that, making things even simpler is that every wire is labeled and is bundled into separate sub-harnesses within the harness to make routing and configuring a no-brainer.
Beyond just offering harnesses, Painless offers all sorts of wiring accessories, including wire terminal kits, starters, electric fan relays, kill switches, battery cables, alternators, and more. As you'll see throughout the story we ordered a few of the accessories to complete the job, key words being "a few," because Painless offers a lot. We also ordered a radiator/fan combo from US Radiator. Being that the Concept One serpentine system on the Smeding 383 calls for an electric fan we figured this would be the perfect time to introduce one into the mix. US Radiator not only offers an assortment of fans, but they also make the fan shroud to bolt right up to the radiator for a clean, simple, and professional looking installation.
Unfortunately, we can't cover everything needed to know about wiring in the next few pages. However, this should give you a pretty good heads-up. Just remember, every wire in the Painless harness has an origin and destination, and all you have to do is follow the instructions-and the labels on the wire-to hook up the wire to the destination. It really is that simple, and yes ... painless. If ya find yourself in a jam the Painless tech line is an excellent resource. (They actually helped me out in a few instances.) Beyond that, it's just a matter of TCB, (taking care of business).

Here's a few wiring essentials. Things like these are not only necessities, but are very handy throughout the install. The Painless 84-piece terminal assortment kit was ordered to handle all of the hard wiring, but things like self-tapping screws, wire strippers, test light, Painless Power Braid, and an assortment of zip ties and clamps are good to keep around as well.The Painless instructions guide you through the wiring process, but the one thing they can't do is tell you where to mount the fuse block and run the wires (unless it's a factory replacement harness, then the fuse block mounting location is already pre-determined), that's done on a case-by-case basis so use your best judgment. In my case, I strayed from the stock location and mounted the fuse block in an accessible location above the brake pedal assembly using a custom "L" bracket I worked up.Unlike factory harnesses, Painless takes the guesswork out of tracing wires by labeling and numbering each wire. Not only that, but they have bundled like-minded wires together to create various sub-harnesses within the main harness. For instance, this wire is the (Tail Section) Back Up Lights #956. By referencing that number and section in the manual, one can pinpoint exactly what function it serves.The 18-circuit chassis harness has enough wiring to outfit a fully loaded Cadillac! I knew I wasn't going to use all the accessory wires (e.g., cigarette lighter, cruise control, warning lights, etc.) so I simplified my harness by cutting those wires short and left only what I knew I would use.I began with the steering column harness. Painless doesn't supply a plug-and-play half moon female housing (GM doesn't make them anymore) for a push fit. However, they terminate the harness' steering column wires, which allows one to reuse the OEM plastic housing. Using the labeling on the wire, and the reference chart in the Painless instructions, I wired up the steering column.Provided in the kit are turn signal flashers. They must be wired into the "hazard flasher" and "signal flasher" wires in the steering column harness. If you're using LED turn signals you'll need to use an LED flasher. (As shown at the bottom left.)This Painless chassis harness is designed to be fully plug-and-play, so long as you use all stock components. In my case, I have a set of Classic Instruments gauges, therefore the easy way out was ... well out! Using the labels on the wires, and the reference chart in the manual, I removed the OEM plug and began routing the wires to the necessary posts.
Although it looks like a mess there is order to this chaos. One way to lighten the load is to link like-wires together. For instance the dash lights (green wires), power (yellow wires), and ground (black wires) are all linked. They begin at one end and hop along each designated post. At the other end the wire joins the designated harness wire. In chassis ground instances I crimped an eyelet to the leading wire and used a self-tapping screw to secure the eyelet to a clean ground on the underside of the dash.For the tachometer, which mounts nearly two feet away from the rest of the instruments, I tapped into the corresponding gauge wires using T-taps.Again, my headlight switch isn't factory, therefore I needed to dissect the harness and outfit each individual wire with the correct terminal. Using the Painless manual and labeled wires, I plugged the wires into the appropriate terminals on the switch. As for the rest of the components (e.g., power windows, air conditioning, neutral safety switch, etc.) I simply located the Painless wire and connected the dots. Again, the detailed instructions practically hold your hand as you work through it.The chassis harness is comprised of two parts: one services the cab and the other plugs into the back of the fuse block and runs to the outer extremities. Again, there are more wires in the outer harness than I need, and for that reason I trimmed them up as well. At this point I bundled the taillight, headlight, and engine harness wires together with zip ties and ran them to their points of interests.When it comes to wiring the engine, the Painless kit can handle it all. For instance, the kit is designed to work with traditional distributor/coil setups and late-model HEI distributors. (As shown) It can also handle internally or externally regulated alternators. If you're running a fuel-injected setup, Painless offers just about any FI harness to piggyback the chassis harness for your needs.I finished up the engine compartment by wiring up the temp and oil sending units, electric choke, A/C, and so on. Again, all I had to do was route the single labeled wire to its destination because everything was all ready handled on the other end of the harness.Next on the list was lighting up each corner. Keeping things clean and simple, Painless has bundled the necessary wires to the taillights/fuel sending unit/electric fuel pump/etc., into one sub-harness, and the headlight/brights/turn signals/etc., into another. They even provide the correct headlight and taillight plugs with the kit. All you have to do is route, crimp, and install.Normally, snakes aren't my favorite, but in wiring you can live or die by them. When it comes to routing wires through a tight area sometimes it's best to tape the wires to a long welding rod (note arrow) and feed the welding rod to the other end. From there grab the rod, or "snake," and pull the wires through.In cases where the battery has been mounted in a non-stock location, like mine, Painless developed these remote battery terminals. Simply install them in a convenient location and run the 1-gauge battery cables from the battery to the terminals. This will make running the harness battery feed, starter feed, electric fan relay feed, and others a much simpler, and shorter, process.
We also ordered the Painless battery cable kit, which comes with positive and negative 1-gauge wires, copper terminals, and shrink wrap. The kit is a cut-to-fit application for any type of install. Be sure to run the ground wire from the negative battery terminal to a clean chassis ground, as well as run a ground wire from the engine block to a chassis ground. Not having a properly grounded electrical system will let loose all sorts of wiring bugs.To satisfy all our cooling needs this US Radiator aluminum radiator/electric fan combo was ordered. The aluminum radiator is a high efficiency two-row radiator with 1-inch tubes and 18 fins per inch. There was enough room for one fan-which US Radiator offers-but I opted to up the ante with dual 11-inch Spal fans. The great thing about US Radiator is they will custom make a radiator and shroud per your dimensions, which makes everything simple, efficient, and clean. They even equipped the radiator with tranny cooler line fittings for the Gearstar 4L60 tranny.Painless offers various electric fan relay harnesses. I went with a dual-action harness. To install the harness, simply route the harness wires to their designated locations, supply ground and power to the US Radiator fans, and install the temp sending unit in the kit. Then once the motor hits 185 degrees the fans kick on.Another item we picked up from Painless is this Power Star starter. The compact, direct replacement starter is equipped with 160 lb-ft of torque for long-lasting cranking power.At this point Get Shorty is wired. Before we hooked up the battery we connected the battery cables to a 12-volt battery charger and tested everything out. Once the bugs were worked out we used the Painless wiring Power Braid to clean up the install. (Note the black spiral looms around engine bay.) To install the Power Braid, slide it over the desired wires and the laterally split design will securely close around the wire, or wires. Painless offers the Power Braid in several diameters for all your wiring needs. There ya have it, wiring 101.

In the end (thanks, dni!) I opted to pay a little more and get a 32gb Nexus 7 @ $249 a piece (one for me, one for the better half). And two Otterbox cases for them @ $52 a piece. That's my single splurge from Ye Ole EFile tax return on "me/we" stuff --- the rest go to those damn, pesky bills that seem to pile up!
Ordered @ Newegg (Nexus) with Shop Runner Free S/H and the cases (since NE didn't stock'em) from Amazon with Free Super Saver shipping.
Those damn cases are worth their weight in gold --- two iPod Touch Gen 4 units still 100% after two years that we got the kids who are 9 and 10 (though each has had two Otterbox cases thus far; still one a year @ $25-30 to preserve a $250 Touch makes it a no-brainer).
Great choice mate the nexus is by far the best 7 inch tablet you can buy but if there is anything you need to know just holla, and there easy to root too

When I zmcontrol start, it stops at starting proxy and asks for "[sudo] password for zimbra:". Giving it the password doesn't work and after 3 fails it continues through start and works fine. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, just not sure how to fix it.
This installation is an /opt/zimbra directory that came from a previous vm that ran into some problems. So it is essentially a migration from a previous Zimbra Server. When I did the pre-install on the new server I left proxy off because I don't need it. The old installation I believe was installed with zimbra-proxy. So, I think the inconsistency is causing the problem. Any ideas on how to get them to live together in peace?

1970 Challenger R/T coupe - Empire State E-BodyWritten by on September 1, 2008 Contributors: Jerry Heasley Jim Rigby's Challenger R/T Always Had A New York State Of Mind
We see a lot of cars that-between their factory build and present day-have resided in more than one state. Many times, these are California or desert Southwest cars with minimal rust, hauled back East, then restored or built into pavement-wrinkling street machines.
Jim Rigby's '70 Challenger R/T coupe isn't one of them. after it rolled off the line at Hamtramck Assembly on the day after Labor Day 1969, it headed east to a Dodge dealer in central New York, and it's been in the Empire State ever since.
Jim says it was sold new in Utica, New York, at Carbone Motor Sales. "I have some people who are trying to figure out if it was ordered like that. some people say it might have been a dealer-ordered car," he says. The features it was built with (per its fender tag) lean toward the appearance side of the options list with some performance items thrown in for good measure. it's an R/T, so the 383 Magnum, dual exhausts with chrome tips, F70-14 raised-white-letter tires, and heavy-duty suspension with front sway bar were standard. Add in the optional an A-833 four-speed and the Performance Axle Group (which included a 3.55-geared, Sure Grip-equipped 83/4-inch rearend and a 26-inch radiator), and you were only a few hundred dollars over the Challenger R/T coupe's base price of $3,266.
To all that hardware, Hamtramck Assembly added cloth-and-vinyl buckets to this E-Body, along with a white vinyl top and side stripes, matte-black performance hood paint, center console, light group, seatbelt group, an AM radio with eight-track tape player and rear speaker, Rallye road wheels, and some other appearance and convenience options. this car's sticker price came in around $4,335.
Jim was looking for his first musclecar and first Challenger when he spotted it. "I was just looking for any decent Challenger," he says of his search. "I didn't really have anything in particular in mind, but I was very happy to pick this one up."
But this car was far from showroom-fresh when Jim found it, even though it had been off the road and garaged away from New York's harsh winters and heavily salted roads for quite some time. "A friend of mine saw it on the Internet. It was up near Utica, which is about two hours away from me," Jim says from his home near Rochester. "He knew more about cars than I did, so I asked him if he would go look at it with me. But he couldn't go till Monday and it was a Wednesday. I thought, If it's a good car, it's not going to last the weekend. So I jumped in my car, liked what I saw, and bought it."
At first, Jim-who's a trooper with the New York State Police-wanted to tackle the restoration himself. But after the "easy" work was done, he knew he needed help. "I had grand delusions of tearing it all down and putting it back together again," he recalls. "But I don't have the expertise or the tools needed. I took it apart pretty easily, but one day I looked at my garage, and I thought, Oh my God, I'm in way over my head here! That's when I decided to hold off a bit and look for someone to restore it." And that's where RJ Cars in nearby Arkport, New York, came in. "It took close to three years," Jim says of the rotisserie project that transformed his garage full of parts into the blue/white/black eye-grabber you see here.
The original quarters needed replacing, but the rest of the car's original steel had escaped the ravages of time and was treated to a black epoxy primer coat once the rust repairs were done. Then on went the B5 blue paint, this time in basecoat/clearcoat form.
In went the rebuilt 383/A-833-based powertrain, then the restored interior, and then the finishing touches were done just before the '07 Chryslers at Carlisle weekend.
"When I bought the car in 2000, my son, Raymond, was five years old. the car sat around here for several years, and he always said it was a rusty piece of junk and laughed at it," says Jim. "As he got older, he realized what musclecars were---he's 13 now---and he starting asking, 'Dad, where's the car now? Please don't sell it!' all the time it was down at RJ Cars being restored. this past summer at Carlisle, we surprised him with it."
Jim adds that in addition to doing a top notch job on the car, Russ Jacobs and all his RJ Cars employees were friendly and accommodating.
There's one other Challenger in the Rigby garage: A '72, which he found not long after he bought the '70 R/T. "It's a California car with a 318, A/C, and tinted glass, but that's pretty much it," Jim says. "It's a plain-Jane car. I've done nothing with it but change the oil, jump in it, and turn the key. I'd searched for years for a car to buy, and all of a sudden, I had two of 'em!" One detail that Jim's looking to add to both cars: period-correct, blue-with-orange-lettering, New York State license plates, just like the ones issued from the mid-'60s through 1973.
What's it like driving the 383-powered R/T? "It's a dream. It's quite a head-turner," says the ever-observant state trooper. "It runs down the road great. it reminds me of the days when we'd work on our cars all week, just to drive them on the weekend, break them, then fix them up again during the week. I just love musclecars and the way they're put together."
Does Jim have any advice for first-time musclecar buyers in the market for a project or turnkey car? "If you scour the web sites and ads in the papers, and if something comes up, you just have to go and look right away because if it's anything worthwhile, it's just not going to last on the market. Nowadays, they're not sticking around [on the market] too long."

I wanted to attend a school that would be more hands-on and realistic rather than a school with a major concentration on theory.
Point Park provided a window into some diverse subjects. The opportunity to experience different avenues of business definitely contributed to strength and cognitive skills required to succeed in a leadership role.
There are many to choose, but I feel the best overall experience was the opportunity to meet and discuss the "real" business world with the instructors. Whether they were a doctor or a leader of business in their own arena, they all had valuable advice based on their own experiences and they were more than willing to share them.
The opportunity to hang out in the city between classes. Whether it was ice skating or just grabbing a Primanti's sandwich and going to Point State Park, the location of the campus provided an opportunity to "recharge" between classes.
There is so much I can say but the decision making process comes to mind more than most. Never feel (or worse, think) that you know everything. You don't. You won't. Avoid knee-jerk reactions at all costs. Be sure to take in all the facts or possibilities regardless of the situation. Then attempt to explore more than one successful avenue when deciding on a solution. With time, you will be able to make many successful decisions and some will become second nature. Always remember to listen to your peers rather than waiting for them to stop talking so that you can announce your thoughts. Not knowing everything is fun. It provides the challenge that everyone should love to feel inside when it comes to your career. When the challenge is absent, it's time to find a new career.
