|Tomky recognized by CPA with Rising Star Award
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Recognized as a person who is curious, innovative, progressive and stands out as a future leader, Darci Tomky of The Holyoke Enterprise was announced as the winner of this year's Rising Star Award at the awards ceremony of the Colorado Press Association annual convention Saturday, Feb. 23.
She was applauded by her peers at the award announcement at the Westin Denver Downtown Hotel. Presenting the award to Tomky was Enterprise publisher Brenda Brandt, who was finishing her term as CPA president.
The Rising Star Award is intended to recognize, celebrate and encourage the next generation of leadership in the newspaper industry and in the state of Colorado.
Candidates are recognized for their commitment to the newspaper, passion for the industry and contribution to the future success of the industry.
Tomky, who was just promoted to managing editor at the Enterprise, has multiple roles, including designer, news reporter, photographer, paginator, webpage updater and general computer file organizer.
Judging this year's contest were Eric Bright, vice president of e-commerce, Deseret Digital Media; Joe Boydston, vice president of technology and new media, McNaughton Newspaper Group; Mark Poss, chief operating officer, Red Wing Publishing; Emily Walsh Perry, multimedia publisher, The Observer Group, Inc.; and Kimberly Wilson, president and publisher, Shurz Communications/The South Bend Tribune.
Judge Wilson said, "She enthusiastically does a little bit of everything, not a common characteristic of newcomers to our industry."
Walsh Perry added, "One of the key aspects of succeeding in the newspaper business is knowing every aspect of it. This lady is an ad designer, web developer, mobile developer, reporter and photograher folded all into one. And it looks like she succeeds in every aspect."
Tomky has embraced the mobile website world, social media and more to promote and expand The Holyoke Enterprise presence. She's an intelligent reporter covering multiple areas and her ad design abilities continue to escalate.
She's been rewarded in both Colorado Press Association and National Newspaper Association contests.
"A tip of the hat to the designers still flourishing in the media," said judge Bright. "But it's also great to see someone wearing so many hats in an organization," he added.
Tomky gains support from co-workers and involves the whole staff in projects. She understands the value of being involved in the community and has earned a high level of respect.
Tomky is a four-year staff member of The Holyoke Enterprise.
Among those attending the awards ceremony in Denver Saturday were Tomky's parents, Darrell and Debbie Tomky; Enterprise staff members Ashley Sullivan and Kyle Arnoldy; and Bob and Molly Brandt.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- If you were on Telegraph Road in Alexandria around noon on Wednesday, then you may have seen a tractor trailer in an odd spot.
We received these photos after a TransAm truck attempted to make a right turn from Huntington Avenue to Telegraph Road. The driver didn't make the turn correctly and the truck went onto the barrier on the right side of the road.
It was raining at the time of the mishap but our eyewitness said the roads weren't very slippery.
We have not received any details about the accident yet from police or from TransAm.

Hello everyone, this is my world of Ethiedus. I've scaled it down by half from the actual size. I've recently used two tutorials on this map, one for making mountains and one for making forests. I'm running into some snags with my water - specifically, where to put it, ESPECIALLY the rivers... ohhhh gods the rivers. :\ I made my first go at rivers and lakes invisible and started over, but this is as far as I have gotten and it's getting pretty frustrating, so I thought I would take a step back and see what kind of advice I could get here. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the mountains I have, either... And the color of the land bugs me, I can't figure out a great way to color the land appropriately. So now it's kind of monochrome. I've been working hard on the map for several months, dedicating a few hours here and there along the way, and there are some things about it I love, but I think I'm hitting the limits of my current abilities! This is my first map making project, tied in to a novel I'm writing. The map is still very very WIP and I expect it'll look a lot different by the time I'm done. Help me figure out how to fix my issues please!
Link to map
Well, it's been almost a week with no bites :\ Anyone out there willing to help me improve my skills a bit? Any advice, comments, etc would be very much appreciated! Pretty please?
Do you have a higher resolution of your map? At this size, the smaller labels are very hard to read and it's difficult to emit an opinion. The only thing I could say right now is that I would probably do a lining around the lakes as you did for the coastlines.
A thread that might help with your rivers: http://www.cartographersguild.com/tu...ght-place.html Extremely helpful!
As for the rest of your map: I think it is quite nice, but somehow it does not resonate with me. I cannot exactly explain why, but the placement of your land seems a little arbitrary to me.
The style looks good in my view... I like the muted colour of the land as well as the forests. On the other hand, you said that this map is meant for a book. Perhaps some style that is printable in B&W might be better suited?
Ilanthar, yes, the working resolution is much much bigger, but I couldn't fit the full size image on the forums.
Freodin, I can definitely see how the land placement might look kind of off. I drew in the major shapes on tracing paper originally, I've noticed that there are some more realistic looking ways to make land since joining the site so at some point I will probably go in and add some little details to make it look a shade more natural. This color version I intend to eventually, somewhere down the line, have printed on vinyl and hung up in my room. For printing in, like, the first few pages of my book, though (if all hopes and dreams come to fruition) I'll probably make a b&w version separate from this endeavor.
Grateful for the responses! I'll keep your comments in mind.
Lake Nyoma has two outlets. While not impossible, this is very unlikely. Such arrangements don't last long, geologically speaking- eventually one outlet erodes a bit more and "wins." (Or, it could just be one hell of a coincidence, or the result of magic, etc.)
OTOH the river/lake system in central Aengvald has no outlet. Nor does the system on Vorenth. Nor Lake Pybo on Sereche. Did you intend for these to be endorrheic lakes? That would presume a drier climate, which your map doesn't resemble. If a river feeding a lake is large enough to be seen on the scale of the map, there should logically be one draining that same lake that is also big enough to be seen. Unless, as I mentioned, the lake is endorrheic for some reason.
The routes of the rivers on the very skinny island of Galloway strike me as unlikely.
That's a heck of a density of lakes, unless you're going for a look like the lake country surrounding Hudson Bay or your theorectocal geology otherwise explains it. (Most people put in too many lakes.)
Yes, a scale would be helpful. Since we can only see a compressed version "six pixels to the mile" doesn't help us much...
The only port that I see on the outer side of any islands is the one on Vorenth. Is there a reason for so few? Is there no outside trade?
I do like the light ground coloration. It reminds me of the map of Central Alemnia that Daelin just posted, where the ground is bone colored. One hell of a map, that.
I'd make the political boundaries a color other than black, so as not to confuse them with roads.
Don't take my criticisms too sharply- I have certainly never posted a better map than yours...
Hey arcsome, thank you for the response! I've been messing with the map since then and it looks a little different now. I killed the river going through lake Nyoma because I'm just not sure how to work that. All the info on how to get your rivers in the right place makes me feel downright dumb, honestly. I keep going back and re-reading it, but I'm still having trouble. Maybe it works better on smaller maps... I am attempting a pretty ambitious sized map here. D'oh. Oh, and the bit about the scale - yeah, I had that in there from the beginning and it's a detail I meant to change and totally forgot was even there. I've seen some pretty, free scales in the mapping elements forum that I will eventually go and grab. I just want to get this water sorted! It's driving me mad! The ports are another detail that I haven't worked on in a while. I've added a lot of places since I first put in the ports, so going back and deciding where the new ports will be is something that's on the to-do list. I really do appreciate you taking the time to point some of this out for me. Here's an updated map... I'm honestly at my wits' end where water is concerned. I tried making an elevation layer to help decide where to place water, but it didn't work out so well. I re-did the mountains and the forests, added a bunch of islands (to help with the arbitrary land placement issue - I think it looks a little better now, anyway) and for now I've toggled off the text and legend layers so it won't look so cluttered. What are yalls thoughts on the current water markers? (Obviously they won't be that color and they'll have some more "wiggle" to them)
I wouldn't mind giving you some help with river/lake placement, either. But there's two things one needs to know:
- what's the scale of this map? Is it an Indonesia sized archipelago? A Japan sized one? Or something the size of a couple of caribbean islands?
Even for your own guidance, I recommend figuring this out and then place an outline of that part of Earth over your map, as a layer.
- where is this archipelago placed in the globe? Does it cross the equator? Is it entirely on the temperate region, and if so on the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere? Are there are very big landmasses nearby?
This would make river placing both more accurate and much easier. Without this, it's too random to be fun (for me, that is )

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- If you lost power during Hurricane Sandy, don't taste the food to see if it's OK. Instead, follow this advice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture:
•Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. That will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for about 48 hours, or 24 hours if it is half full and the door stays closed.
•If you can, get block ice or dry ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for 2 days.
•If the power has been out for several days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer or food thermometer. If the food still contains ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below, the food is safe.
Another Option If You Can't Find A Generator
•If you don't have a thermometer, check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still has ice crystals, it's safe.
•Throw away refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers, and deli items after 4 hours without power.
A Possible Fight With Your Home Insurer
•Finally, when in doubt, throw it out!
For details, see advice from the USDA on food safety during an emergency. And see our Hurricane Sandy Survival Tips, including our advice on generators.

CONCORD, N.C. (May 21, 2011) – Each weekend as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series enters a different racetrack, the pressure follows. However, with no points on the line, the Sprint All Star Race at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway is one for drivers and teams to try new setups and get a starting point for next week's Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the 2011 season.
Casey Mears and the GEICO Racing team were prepared to race their way into the Sprint All Star main event, via the Sprint Showdown. The Showdown consisted of two 20-lap segments with a competition caution thrown by NASCAR in the middle of the segments. Only the top two finishers from the Showdown would transfer into the main All Star race.
The No. 13 GEICO Toyota Camry started the Showdown from the 11th position, as Mears laid down a solid lap of 28.278 seconds in qualifying on Friday afternoon. The first caution slowed the pace on lap three with Mears scored in the eighth position. The Bakersfield, California native radioed to Crew Chief Bootie Barker that the Gecko was "pretty darn good." On lap nine, Mears restarted from the outside of row four before being shuffled out of position. As the first 20-lap segment came to a close, Mears held the 13th position and reported to the GEICO team that the Camry was tight to the center of the corner.
As the majority of the leaders decided to come to pit road for fresh tires during the segment break, Mears stayed on the racetrack to gain track position. The second and final 20-laps started on lap 21 with Mears in fifth-place. On the restart, the competitors with new tires behind Mears took off and the caution came on lap 28 with the GEICO Camry in the 11th position. Barker brought Mears to pit road for four tires, fuel, and an air pressure adjustment as the front end was sliding the nose.
With caution laps not counting during the second segment, Mears restarted on lap 28 from the 13th position. The final 11 laps went caution free, but with two laps remaining, Mears passed Martin Truex Jr. for 12th-place. The GEICO Toyota Camry went on to cross the finish line in that position.
"Overall we learned a decent amount for next weekend, which is the one that really counts," said Mears after the Showdown. "Our pit stop tonight was really good and we were able to gain some information about the handling that will give us a better place to start in practice for the 600. The GEICO Camry was just too tight in the center, but we will get it fixed up and be ready to go."
Mears and the GEICO Racing team will return to Charlotte Motor Speedway next week for the running of the Coca-Cola 600. Practice and qualifying are scheduled for Thursday, May 26th, while the race will take place on Sunday, May 29th.

How to Prepare for Your First 5K
With spring just around the corner, you may be more motivated to hit the treadmills to prepare for an outdoor running event. If you haven't run a 5k and you've always wanted to, this article is meant just for you!
I have put together a 5k training program that you can do right in your Snap Fitness club. Taking the first step is always the toughest – let's leap!
Rundown to Running: Here is an 8-week sample workout to get you up and running and ready for your first 5k race!
Rev up your metabolism with this high-intensity workout that pairs simple movements together for major results. Our monthly challenge will help burn your lower body and abs – the perfect type of strength training before swimsuit season.
The movements below are featured in our monthly calendar that you can download here.
The burpee – a crazy intense workout on its own. Master it by starting in a standing position. Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back, while keeping your arms extended. Immediately return your feet to the squat position and vertically jump into the air.
Lie flat on on your back with your arms fully extended over your head holding a weighted medicine ball. Your legs will be fully extended together roughly six inches off the floor. As you exhale, bend at the waist while simultaneously raising your legs and arms to meet in a "V" position. The legs should be extended and lifted at a 45-degree angle from the ground and the arms should be extended and parallel to your legs. You upper torso should be off the ground as well. Lower your arms and legs back to the starting position.
We'll take push-ups to the next level with this move. Start in a push-up position with your arms extended and hands about shoulder-width apart. You should be on your toes with legs fully extended and feet together. Bend your elbows and move your body down to the ground. Make sure your abs and glutes are tight and keep your body in a straight-line. Once your chest is one inch from the ground, extend your arms and drive your hands into the ground as hard as possible. Done properly, you should generate enough force and power to allow your hand to come off the ground by about three inches. Land flat on your hands with a little flex in your elbows to absorb some of the shock.
Lie on your side with your legs extended straight. Place your forearm on the ground at a 90-degree angle then elevate your body off the ground, forming a diagonal line. Rest your other hand on your hip. Once you are in position, lower your hip straight down to the ground and pause for one second about one inch from the ground. Bring your hip back to the starting position and make sure to tighten your glutes and abs at the top.
To start, stand tall in a vertical position with your arms by your side and knees slightly bent. Driving your feet into the ground to create power, jump up into the air extending your arms and legs out from your body. You'll look like a star, hence the name of this exercise. Land softly with your knees together and hands by your side. Make sure to keep your abs tight and back straight.
Let's start with the obvious: exercise does wonders for your body. As little as 30 minutes a day can make a huge difference in your health. From losing weight to building muscle, fitness is a key part in helping people become the best versions of themselves. The positive effects from working out aren't limited to your body, either.
Regular exercise brings big-time mental benefits. No matter what how old you are or what your fitness level is, exercise improves your brain function. Who can say "no" to that? Think of what amazing things you can accomplished with a well-functioning and positive mind! So, what specifically does exercise do for your mental state? Below are the top five ways working out boosts your brain power.
Reduces Stress
Ah, stress. It happens to everyone. It could be a tough day at work, home, or out and about. Exercise builds levels of norepinephrine, a chemical that can moderate how your brain responds to stress. If stress is weighing you down, a solid sweat session at Snap Fitness is what you need!
Reduces Anxiety
Working out also helps with anxiety. The endorphins that are released with you exercise not only make you feel happy, they can calm you down. We recommend a nice jog or run to clear your mind if you're feeling anxious. That energy will be replaced with a much more relaxing one!
Increase Your Confidence
Regular exercise will have you looking and feeling great. It boosts your self-esteem, which is so important. Next time you're in the gym, check yourself out in the mirror. Look at how strong you are! Strength comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes, but we love them all in Snap Nation.
Sharpen Memory
Do you have a big presentation or exam coming up? Don't skip your workouts! Exercise boosts your memory and ability to learn new things. Review your notes or materials before and after your workouts. The added focus will help you prepare.
Spread The Feel-Good Vibes!
A positive attitude is contagious. Extend your fitness routine to include group classes or activities. Running around the lake before coffee? Yes! A pick-up game of softball after work with friends? You bet! You can inspire your crew to work harder and have more fun. We call that a win-win.

You know those mouth-watering homemade chocolate chip cookies your friends and family keep begging you to make? Or that quilting project you (finally) finished and are so proud of? Or those garden vegetables you've cultivated all summer? The open class division at the Garfield County Fair is your opportunity to showcase your accomplishments.
While 4-H and FFA members have been working on their fair projects for months, open class exhibits offer the opportunity for anyone, young or old, to take part in the fun.
Categories range from baked goods, to displays of noxious weeds, to leather crafts, furniture, pottery, canned goods, wine, needlework, quilting, crochet, paintings, photography and flower arrangements. Jellies, jams, pickles, granola and jerky all have a place in the open class division.
Even if you don't garden, if you can turn store-bought veggies into an attractive presentation, or carve them into interesting shapes, there's an open class for that too.
"If you make something, bring it to the fair," said Mary Jo Gerard of Gypsum.
Gerard has served as a judge at the Garfield County Fair for more than 10 years, offering her discriminating eye to the open class exhibit entries.
"If you have something you want to learn about, the fair is a great place to ask questions like 'why didn't my bread rise?' You can learn a lot at the fair," she added.
Each category in the open class has set criteria, listed in the Garfield County Fair Book. Judges for each category use those criteria to determine the best entries in each group.
For example, canned goods are judged on how well they are sealed, whether the packaging is appropriate, and the appearance and consistency of the contents.
Yum-yum fun
Judging a cookie entry is much more complicated than just gobbling cookies off a plate.
"First, I look to see that the cookies are all uniform in size," Gerard explained. "Then I turn them over to see if they are all evenly browned on the bottoms. If you've got a hot spot in your oven they won't brown evenly, no matter what kind of pan you use."
Depending on the type of cookie, Gerard checks for consistency (are the chocolate chips, or raisins, evenly spaced throughout?), and texture (crisp or soft?). If the cookie is supposed to be a soft, moist cookie, but Gerard can poke her finger in it and leave a dent, "it's probably not quite done."
"Then I taste just a crumb, just the baked dough part. And finally, I try a bite of the whole cookie. I make my decision from there," she said.
This year Gerard is judging the canned goods division, but during her tenure as a fair judge, she's judged just about every category. "I used to say, 'Put it in front of me and I'll judge it,'" she said. "I can remember years I'd judge the whole fair.
"One year I judged the apple pie contest. We had about 30 pies to judge. I don't think I've eaten apple pie since."
Another year she judged canned fish. "What I would have given for some crackers and chopped onions," she said.
Nowadays the county commissioners have taken over the apple pie judging, and Gerard is glad for their interest and participation. The commissioners also judge the "Commissioner's Cookie Jar" contest.
In the past few years, Gerard said, there have been more entries in new categories. "We're seeing more things like honey, wine, beer and ale. It's a great thing."
For details on the open classes and what is required to submit an entry, download a copy of the fair book at www.garfieldcountyfair.com.
Then gather all your entries and submit them to the open class exhibits at the fair. There are deadlines for the entries, so make sure you get your entries to the fairgrounds in the allotted time frames.
"It's very important that you read the fair book and follow the guidelines," Gerard said.
So whip up a batch of that special banana bread, pull out a jar of your special chokecherry jelly, or finish up that that craft project, get it in fine form for presentation, and take it to the fair.
You might be able to add "blue-ribbon winner" to your resume.

@loose Go to Rio and click 'Quest'. Select the quest 'Study', and at bottom of left page on the Journal is the button 'Accept'. It is a bit hard to see at first, but you will get used to it. Once you have the Study quest, go finish it by talking to an NPC, and go back to Henry I think and he will finish your quest and give you a mount!
Hello. I am stuck on the mount quest now also. Rio keeps telling me to talk to the guy in the library, but he only had a quest for the instance. He is supposed to have a Quest for knowlage or something. I tried clicking on the book also. Any help would be great.

I'm back, still wanting to get Zimbra running on FreeBSD. Before I was trying to bring it up on Gentoo first, and I still may, since it's a different system than my main, FreeBSD server, but now that I have differnt Webmail options on the server, I'd love to have Zimbra right next to it. My BSD mailserver consists of postfix, mailscanner, spamassassin, clamav, dcc, dovecot and procmail. Everything works, mail goes through the chain, is handed off to procmail which does the server side filtering and drops it into the correct /home/$USER/Maildir. Currently I have Squirrelmail, Horde/IMP and Roundcubemail setup and running as my webmail frontends, and they all work great with this setup. I would like to drop Zimbra into this configuration, but as you can see I do not need to setup LDAP, postfix, etc., so, is there a way to make Zimbra act just as a webclient as I have these others setup? It's so nice, and I'd really like to try it out against the others on the same server; would be a good way to judge performance as well.
I remember being told that by M2 this would be easier to accomplish, so I'm hoping there's a way. Hey, I'll write a complete HOWTO if I can get it running! As always, thanks Kevin!


text: Investigation: The business of high-frequency trading Finance 08 March 10 by Mark Buchanan This article was taken from the April issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineIn 2002, after 12 years at Bear Stearns, investment banker Adam Afshar came to the conclusion that, for all their supposed expertise, most Wall Street traders really weren't very good at predicting anything."I got the sense from my time there," says Afshar, "that market analysts have little insight and generally provide very little value to their firms." So Afshar set out to find market opportunities in, as he puts it, "a more systematic way". The result was Hyde Park Global Investments, a small trading firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, that doesn't hire market analysts or portfolio managers.Instead, its employees are almost all physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians skilled in writing code and developing sophisticated algorithms inspired by evolutionary biology. The goal: to analyse historical financial data and spot and exploit fleeting opportunities in the market. "With algorithms and fast computing, even small firms can now buy and sell as fast as the biggest ones," Afshar says. "Technology lets you compete with firms having billions of dollars."When Afshar says fast, he means very fast. What have become known as high-frequency trading (HFT) systems can execute transactions in milliseconds without human intervention -- basing their decisions on information they have received electronically. Joined by high-speed data links to the trading exchange, they draw on huge databases of historical data to test algorithms offline and then quickly use that knowledge to spot market opportunities and likely profitable trades.They can execute those trades before anyone else has had a look in. In fact, to exploit split-second advantages, trading firms physically locate their servers as close as they can to the exchanges -- in some cases just a few metres away from the boxes where the trades are completed. The reason for all of this, says Joe Gawronski of New York brokerage Rosenblatt Securities, is that HFT requires extremely short "latency" to work -- a very small delay between sending an order and having it accepted, executed and receiving a confirmation, or, if it doesn't trade, confirmation of its being cancelled.InfoReach, a New York-based company specialising in trading technology, has platforms capable of handling more than 10,000 orders per second with a sub-millisecond latency. Hyde Park Global relies on a trading platform that can execute up to 300 trades per second. It is currently relocating its servers so they run close to exchanges in New York, a practice known as "colocating"."By colocating in New York," Afshar says, "we're able to take 21 milliseconds off our trades. In the past, 21 milliseconds was a trivial matter. Now it's pivotal." The computerisation of financial markets isn't a new phenomenon. In the 70s the New York Stock Exchange introduced the Designated Order Turnaround system, which routed orders electronically.Throughout the late 80s and 90s the traditional open-outcry system was abandoned in favour of electronic trading desks across the world -- most famously in London in 1986, when the deregulation of the financial markets prompted a huge shift to screen-based trading. Since then increased market liquidity and technological advances have created ideal conditions for the spread of high-frequency trading. It now accounts for about 70 per cent of US equity transactions and significant fractions of trading volumes in many other markets.In 2009, estimates of the total profits of the several hundred companies involved in such automated trading (out of roughly 20,000 firms currently trading in US markets) ran as high as $20 billion. But as greater numbers of companies invest in the systems, industry watchdogs and regulators are beginning to ask questions about the possibly damaging effects that high-frequency trading might have on markets and the wider economy.Most alarming is the parallel that's being drawn between the unregulated trade in derivatives -- which some economists thought would make markets more stable and efficient -- that triggered the collapse of 2008.Could high-frequency trading trigger the next great financial catastrophe? HFT firms argue that their strategy is centuries old and beneficial to markets. This is particularly the case with high frequency "market-makers", such as Getco and Tradebot, which provide a buying-and selling service to others. Market-makers provide liquidity by ensuring that other participants can always find a buyer or seller for any product. They make only a small profit on each trade, but execute hundreds of millions of trades every year. "High-frequency market-makers step up and make shares available for purchase or sale at specific prices on a scale never before seen in securities markets," says Justin Schack, a vice president at Rosenblatt Securities. "This flood of orders helps to make markets as fair and efficient as possible." But market-making is only one of a number of popular HFT practices.

The Nokia Asha series pioneered what I like to call the smart feature phone segment, where the devices are sort of smarter and better than feature phones, but not as spec heavy as smartphones. The Nokia Asha 501 took the concept to a new level as it ushered in a unique platform for these devices. The Asha 502 is a natural progression, in keeping with the ever-increasing requirements of the segments this phone is meant for.
Quick Tech Specs: 3-inch TFT touch display (240 x 320p) | Nokia Asha software platform 1.1 | 64MB RAM | microSD slot | 5MP rear camera | 1010mAh battery
Design: The Asha 502 looks exactly like its predecessor. The compact soap bar design and size continues, though the 502 seems to have laminated looks thanks to a transparent layer of plastic. Below the display is just the back key and on the sides are the volume and power keys. It is a bit difficult to open the rear panel and it would have been a great idea to keep the second SIM hot-swappable without having to pry open the rear panel. And, yes, the bright colour schemes continue in line with Nokias new design philosophy.
Screen: The screen is good enough for you play games, do basic browsing and enjoy the photos clicked with this phone. But this is not for those people who are used to HD screens. This is a functional touch screen and that is all it is meant to be.
Performance: The Asha 502 is meant to be a phone for the masses and hence should not be compared with smartphones. If you look at this as an option for people who are graduating from a feature phone, then the Asha 502 is a rock star. It lets you connect to the net, surf the web without incurring huge data costs, check mail, engage in IM chats and use Facebook and Twitter effectively. It does not lag at any point of time as the OS has been custom built for device with these specs. The experience is smooth and stable, but not enough to suffice those who have been exposed to high-end devices.
Memory: It wont take you long to exhaust the 64MB internal memory, so be prudent while you download apps. But a 4GB SD card should be able to take care of all other

Taking full advantage of the four entry maximum, Eng finished first, fourth, fifth and sixth and walked away with $390 of the $600 in prize money. Eng's first-place bankroll of $1,033.50 was clinched via a large show wager on Time to Doubledown in Santa Anita's 10th race. The 9-to-1 longshot finished third, paid $7.80 for show, and Eng won first prize of $300.Sixty players signed up for the Groundhog Day Contest, which featured live money and win/place/show bets of at least $10 and one horse per race. The top 10 finishers all won entries into the Handicapping Contest Final on Sunday, April 28.Chris Larmey of Kennewick, fresh from a strong showing in the Natiional Handicapping Championship in Las Vegas, finished second with a $390 bankroll.

Hi everyone,
I have setup a secondary message store titled oldMessages in /opt/zimbra/backup/store/
I just found out that when you upgrade Zimbra server versions it will wipe out the backup directory. I'm wondering how should I go about moving this secondary message store to another location?
du -sh /opt/zimbra/backup/store/ reports about 144MB.
Should I just move /opt/zimbra/backup/store/ to another folder such as /opt/zimbra/secondaryStore/ and then create another volume as the server named oldMessages and point it to /opt/zimbra/secondaryStore/

Jan. 13, 2013
LOS ANGELES - Washington State suffered a 61-59 defeat to USC after the Trojans hit two free throws with .8 seconds remaining at the Galen Center Sunday.
A controversial foul was called after a pair of players collided while battling for a loose ball and USC's Ariya Crook sank both free throws to clinch the win. The Cougars dropped to 5-10 overall and 1-3 in Pac-12 play while USC improved to 7-8 and moved into a tie atop the conference standings with UCLA after winning its first four conference contests.
Sophomore guard Tia Presley scored a game-high 25 points and freshman guard Lia Galdeira added 14 for the Cougars. Redshirt-junior guard Ireti Amojo posted season-highs of seven points and six rebounds. WSU scored 18 points off of 23 USC turnovers while the Trojans connected on 20-fo-24 trips to the free throw line. Cassie Harberts led USC with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Presley opened the game scoring eight of the Cougars first 10 points as the Trojans missed their first 10 shots.
Midway through the half, Amojo sparked an 13-2 WSU run with a driving left-handed layup. Presley followed with a floater in the lane and Amojo later hit a three from straight away. Galdeira and Presley capped the run with back-to-back buckets that gave WSU ten point advantage at the 4:16 mark.
The Trojans answered by the closing the half with an 8-2 run over the final 3:26 to cut the WSU lead to four. Presley finished the first half with 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting while the Cougars registered 20 points in the paint and held USC to 31.3 percent from the floor.
Both teams played at a faster pace in the second half, resulting in five more lead changes and a large amount of turnovers by both teams.
Southern California seemed to take control of the game with a 12-2 run to open up a six point lead with under eight minutes remaining but the Cougars answered with seven straight points. Junior forward Sage Romberg made all three for her free throw attempts after getting fouled on a three-point attempt, Galdeira hit two free throws and Presley capped the run with another driving layup to give WSU a 56-55 lead with 1:46 remaining.
With 53 seconds to go, USC's Crook sank two free throws for a one-point lead, Cassie Harberts put the Trojans up two with a free throw with 27 seconds left and Crook added another free throw with 20 seconds left to put USC up three.
On the ensuing possession, the Cougars swung the ball around to Galdeira at the right wing who rose up and drained a three with a defender her face to knot the game at 59 with four seconds left.
USC called timeout to set up one final play. The Trojans inbounded ball and then tried a long cross-court pass that was deflected by a WSU defender before both USC's Crook and WSU's Amojo collided while going after the loose ball. Amojo was whistled for a foul and Crook went to the line and hit both free throws for a two-point lead with .8 seconds left.
WSU quickly inbounded the ball to redshirt-senior guard Katie Grad who caught the ball at midcourt, turned and threw up a shot just that banked in but the shot came after the buzzer had sounded.
Washington State will wrap its three-game road trip Tuesday in Seattle against the University of Washington. Tipoff is slated for 6 p.m. and will be televised by the Pac-12 Networks.

Maastricht : Michelin's recommendations
At the junction of three countries, Maastricht, famous for the Treaty, holds sway over the "boot" of Dutch Limburg and is its capital. It is separated from Belgium by the Albert canal. The town is located on the Meuse and is different from the rest of the country with its houses in Meuse stone, its undulating surroundings and its southern character. Its bon viveur's soul is shown by the number of restaurants and cafés, its pedestrianised streets and its annual carnival.

I need to purchase a pair of light weight hunting boots. I've been wearing a pair of Rocky boots for a few years now, but they are no longer water proof. I prefer something that is uninsulated with a soft sole.
I've been looking at the following boots: Danner Pronghorn GTX, Danner Jackal II GTX, Kenetrek Hardscrabble Hiker, Hanwag Banks GTX and Hanwag Cheyenne GTX.
Any thoughts or comments about the above boots, or another I haven't listed, is much appreciated.

Our Monday starts mild - warm even... 50s and 60s for morning temperatures, some fog and plenty of clouds. As the day goes on, the clouds stick around. There will also be some showers developing from the WEST by tonight, though likely these showers fall apart before getting here. Highs close to 80 today.
On the other side of the cool front (the reason for the clouds and shower chances) the temperatures only slip slightly. Lows staying in the 50s (low 50s) this week, and highs in the low 70s.

Astronomy Magazine DVD Scam
Posted 20 November 2012 - 03:50 PM
Anyway, I know that a company can NOT send you something that you have not asked for and then expect you to pay for it unless say UPS delivered it to the wrong address or something like that. But if you did not solicit them for it it is a GIFT.
So I was a little annoyed until I read the fine print in the box at the bottom of the letter attached to the bill. Quote "Service Guarantee: You are under no obligation to participate in the program. Because you didn't order the DVD, you don't have to participate or send it back and can consider it a free gift."
Hmmm! I guess I will let my subscription expire because I don't deal with companies that are this deceptive.

Although a different publisher, Astronomy magazine has been sending unsolicited DVD's for a several years now. There have been few other threads relating to this problem. In all those threads, I haven't read any posts that publisher of Astronomy magazine has resorted to using a collection agency; but these threads certainly remind me of the experience I had with Funk & Wagnalls. I don't subscribe to Astronomy magazine.

This is the first of a series where I will take scans of old maps I drew by hand long, long ago (mostly) and attempt to create a nice new version on computer. I include the original version as scanned in for comparison. I tried to stay reasonably close to the original, but took advantage of a few tricks possible on the computer such as replacing my scribble for the Leaffall trees with a pattern and a gradient for "The Shelf". Some parts I simply redrew using the mouse, others were done with brushes created from scans of new hand drawings (some done specifically for this map, a couple already drawn as generic images).
Future maps in this series of redone maps will be posted as WIPs, but I did this one as a proof of concept for myself. I hope I'd be able to do better six months from now, but I'm pleased with it overall.

Born on March 31, 1943 - the same night as the Broadway debut of "Oklahoma!" - and raised in Astoria, Queens, NY, Walken was raised by his father, Paul, a baker who emigrated from Germany, and his mother, Rosalie, also a baker who emigrated from Scotland. Since his mother was enamored by show business, Walken and his two brothers, Glenn and Kenneth, were pushed into dance, modeling and acting at a very young age.

It has now been taken up by a cartographer.

Iolkus (also Iolcus) is a polis (city) of around 3000 inhabitants. It is a coastal town with a harbour, two major temple areas, a Palace for the King, 200-300 houses which also in many cases double as businesses, and a Wizard's Tower. It's surrounded by a tall stone wall and features three gatehouses. The town has farm land surrounding it.
Ideally the surround territory would conform roughly to the actual terrain of the area. You can see the geography here:
I would be able to provide a more detailed outline of the town from my GM notes. I would be happy to allow a great deal of creative freedom for the cartographer working on this project, but can also be directive if that is preferred.
I'm not sure on the scale but I would like to feature individual buildings. It would be good to add key labels for major structures.
I am looking for something in the style of this: http://www.unreal-fantasy.pl/gfx/wfr...online-map.jpg
I'm looking for semi-professional work for use in my own notes, a print out on A4 for the players, and for display on the group's website.
We'd like to have reproduction rights to the map.
We will happily link to the artist's website / info from our group's website.
A remuneration can be discussed if required, despite having a low budget.
Ideally I'd have the map ready for use on August 31st.
If you'd like to help us then please email me at: che dot webster at ntlworld dot com
Many thanks for considering this humble plea for help!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has taken a look at the project.
It has now been taken up by a cartographer.
Thanks for letting us know, good luck with the map! (marked as taken now)

New free-to-play strategy card game for PC and iPad® lets you hang up your sword . . . and throw down your gauntlet
Hands-on demos at PAX East this weekend, beta test starting soon
Boston, Mass.—March 22, 2013—Pull up a chair across from an old friend at the tavern table and prepare for a few rounds of lively card-vs.-card warfare. Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. laid its virtual cards on the table today with the unveiling of Hearthstone™: Heroes of Warcraft™, a new cross-platform free-to-play game for Windows®, Macintosh®, and iPad®.
In Hearthstone, players build card decks centered around one of nine iconic Warcraft® character classes and duel each other for fun, glory, and the chance to win awesome new cards. PAX East attendees are able to go hands-on with Hearthstone this weekend, and Blizzard will begin beta testing for the game very soon—no, seriously.
"We've always loved collectible card games at Blizzard, so it's been exciting to bring everything we love about the genre to life in Hearthstone," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're putting a lot of focus into creating a fun new game that's easy to pick up and play, but also has a lot of depth. We can't wait to share it with everyone."
Deceptively simple in design but epically engaging, Hearthstone will be instantly accessible to players regardless of their familiarity with Warcraft or collectible card games. Whether players prefer to wield magic or arms in battle, strike from the shadows or head on—or have never given any of that much thought—they'll be able to jump right in, create a deck, and get in on the card-slinging action.
In addition to honing their skills in practice matches against the computer and taking on their buddies via their Battle.net® friends list, players can challenge each other in two competitive game modes. "Play Mode" features traditional head-to-head battles, with players facing off for a chance to increase their medal ranking and earn card packs along the way. And for a different type of challenge, players can enter "The Forge," where they start each match by building a deck from a new set of cards, and then use that deck to duel other Forge participants. Aside from winning new cards, players will be able to round out their collections by purchasing new card packs or disenchanting some of their existing cards to craft the ones they're missing.
With hundreds of cards to choose from, featuring a wide range of colorful Warcraft spells, weapons, and characters, players will have limitless possibilities for developing and fine-tuning their deck-building strategies. Further details about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft will be announced as development progresses. To learn more about the game, stay tuned to http://www.PlayHearthstone.com. With multiple games in development, Blizzard Entertainment has numerous positions currently available—visit http://jobs.blizzard.com for more information and to learn how to apply.

There is no way to know for sure if you're going to get anal cancer. Certain factors can make you more likely to get this type of cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. Just because you have one or more risk factors does not mean you will get anal cancer. In fact, you can have many risk factors and still not get the disease. On the other hand, you may have no known risk factors and still get anal cancer. Tell your doctor if any of the bolded statements apply to you.
Most doctors think that HPV causes squamous cell anal cancer. It is spread via skin-to-skin contact during sex. In men, circumcision (removal of the foreskin of your penis) decreases risk of contracting HPV. In women, early onset of sexual intercourse and having sex with uncircumcised men increase risk of HPV.
If you have had many sex partners, you are at higher risk for getting HPV. This virus has been linked to anal cancer. Additionally, women whose partners have had many sex partners are at an increased risk.
Having anal sex with a condom offers some protection against HPV, the virus that has been linked to anal cancer. But HPV can still be spread by skin-to-skin contact in the areas not covered by the condom.
If you have a weakened immune system, you are at higher risk for anal cancer. You may have a weakened immune system from taking drugs after an organ transplant, or if you are infected with the HIV.
HPV causes these cancers and also increases your risk of anal cancer.
Smokers are more likely to get anal cancer than nonsmokers. Quitting smoking may reduce this risk.
People older than 50 and younger than 80 are more likely to get anal cancer than people of other ages.
People who have chronic inflammation in the anus, from conditions, such as fistula, fissures, or perirectal abscesses, may have a higher risk of getting anal cancer.

Summary:Although street racing provides an escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, for outsider Sean Boswell, his reckless involvement in the sport has made him very unpopular with the local authorities. After one crash too many--and to avoid jail time--Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customers and codes of honor.

More important than case may be the airline you fly. The United flights I used on a bear hunt were very bad. I saw my gun case being dragged on a luggage cart. One end was on the cart and the other end was on the pavement. I could see the gun inside, the new aluminium case.
TSA had also reopened the gun case and even left a letter inside, this after being inspected and sealed. Take down guns have the advantage of being packed in a musical instrument case and the won't recieve sush harsh treatment. The video Kevin Root provided about the pelican gun case may well be the best solution.

NEW CASTLE - Fifth and sixth grade students at Riverside Middle School in New Castle are taking a different look at their education. Their teachers are integrating mobile technology, such as iPads and iPod Touches, into the classroom as another tool to enhance their learning experience.
The school is one of 12 underserved schools around the country - and the only one in Colorado - to receive a grant of $33,000 from the Verizon Foundation. They were selected to be a part of the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program, which helps educators more effectively and innovatively use technology to enhance student learning in science, technology, engineering and math. Fifth and sixth grade Riverside math and science instructors are participating in the program.
Along with the Verizon grant, the effort was helped by a $284,000 Garfield County Federal Mineral Lease District grant to the Garfield School District Re-2 to upgrade its wireless network districtwide.
"As Garfield Re-2 teachers integrate more and more wireless devices, the network was getting very slow," said district Technology Director Roger Gose. "The upgrade to the wireless network is a critical component to the use of wireless devices in the classroom. The two grants came at the perfect time to work together."
The Verizon program grant provides funding for professional development for teachers, along with some equipment and software. Riverside teachers participated in a three-day face-to-face training workshop over the summer to learn how to apply technology to support digital-age learning and to gain insights into the applications and tools they can use to get their students interested and engaged to help them achieve in school.
Teachers receive continuing professional development through webinars and instructional technology coach Holly Miller. She is devoting extra time to supporting participating teachers at Riverside as part of the grant.
The federal mineral lease district grant helped upgrade the wireless network at nearly every Re-2 school. An added benefit is that each school now has publicly accessible wireless Internet.
Riverside Principal Lacey Moser said both grants are positively impacting her school and have helped integrate technology into everyday lesson design. But she emphasized that nothing can replace good instruction in the quest for student achievement.
"The number one impact in the classroom is the teacher," said Moser. "However, these grants support our teachers and our students by adding tools to the teacher's tool box. Not every tool fits for every job, but the more tools you have, the higher quality and more engaging instruction you can provide by using the right tool for the right job."

Three More Cyclones Earn Bids to NCAA's On Day 2 Of West Regional
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Six Iowa State student-athletes took the track at the NCAA Track and Field West Preliminaries, Friday, held at Arkansas' John McDonnell Field. Three more Cyclones earned bids to the NCAA Championships on Day 2 of the regional meet, bringing the program total to six over the first two days of competition.
Edward Kemboi notched the No. 1 overall mark in the field in the 800-meter run. The Eldoret, Kenya, native clocked a time of 1:47.40 in the race, notching his second sub-1:48 performance of the year.
Kemboi was poised and patientin the race, running on the shoulder of UCLA's Nick Hartle until the two came around the final turn. The Cyclone junior passed Hartle on the final homestretch and broke the tape to earn the west region's top overall mark.
Both Ejiro and Ese Okoro punched their tickets to Eugene, Oregon, to compete in the NCAA Championships this evening, as both finished in the top-three of their heats in their respective events.
Ejiro took third in her heat of the women's 800m. She and the leaders eased across the finish line, as the top-three automatically qualify for the NCAA meet. At 2:04.96, the Birmingham, England, native notched her second sub-2:05 performance of the season.
Ejiro started towards the back of the pack, biding her time over the early parts of the race. As the race progressed, the Cyclone senior knocked off runners ahead of her en route to the third-place finish. Her time came in seventh overall in the event.
Ejiro's twin sister Ese capped off the night for the Cyclones by earning a bid of her own to the NCAA Championships in the 400-meter hurdles. Ese took third in her heat, crossing the line in 57.45 seconds. The time is the third-fastest of her career and marks her sixth sub-58 of the season.
Derek Jones put on a strong showing on the men's side of the 400m hurdles. Jones placed seventh in his heat with a time of 51.54 seconds, running the second-fastest time of his young career.
In the women's 400-meter dash, Kendra White notched her third consecutive sub-53 second performance of the year, crossing the line in 53.90 seconds. White took fifth in her heat and was17th overall in the competition. Her career best, set in yesterday's prelims, ranks fourth on Iowa State's all-time top-10 list at 53.52 seconds.
