|Which insect pests should be monitored now
|Written by Assefa Gebre-Amlak, Regional Pest Management Specialist, CSU Extension
European corn borer moth numbers continue to increase in pheromone traps in most of the trap locations in northeastern Colorado. We should be able to see larva feeding damage in corn starting this week and continue scouting. Larval damage is noticed as feeding scars and shot holes in the plants leaves.
To determine infestation levels, check 25 plants in 4 locations or 20 plants in 5 locations in the field. Be sure to move into the field at least 100 feet from the border. To determine the number of live larvae, pull the whorl from each symptomatic plant, and carefully unwrap the leaves. Chemical control of first generation is justified when 25% of the plants have feeding damage and live larvae. Control measures must be taken before the larvae bore into the stalk.
Timely and accurate scouting is the key to managing European corn borer in standard (non-Bt) corn hybrids. Remember that conditions are localized and each field should be scouted to make accurate decisions of its management.
Once economic infestations of European corn borer are determined, there are a number of effective insecticide products available for its control.
We are seeing large numbers of grasshoppers (mostly immature stage) in Yuma and eastern part of Washington County. Continue monitoring for this pest both in crops and rangeland the next three weeks in the indicated counties.
In crop land, grasshoppers build up in the field margins which should be scouted during the season. If the small hoppers (nymphs) reach 20 per square yard in margins, a chemical treatment may be justified. Once they disperse through the field, eight per square yard is considered to be economic.
In grassland, fifteen to 15-20 grasshopper nymphs per square yard is considered the economic threshold. It is important to estimate grasshopper population density to determine if economic threshold has been reached. When estimating grasshopper density, walk 50 to 100 ft away from the road, finding a typical rangeland.This number is considered to equate to eight to 10 adults. However, the economic threshold can be modified by climatic conditions. If moisture is adequate regrowth of the consumed or destroyed vegetation may offset the damage.
Cutworms and wireworms are the two groups of insects to keep an eye during the early stage of sunflower development. The cutworms include darksided cutworm, dingy cutworm complex, sandhill cutworms and pale western cutworms. Check your fields and treat if there is one cutworm per square foot or if stand losses are approaching the lower limits of optimum plant populations. Consider sieving the surface of 5 square feet of soil through coarse screening as way of improving detection of cutworm larvae.
Wire worms are most damaging to sunflowers when the crop planted in wheat stubble because the adult beetles are attracted to grasses to lay eggs. The larvae kill plants by feeding directly on the seed and preventing germination or feeding on the stem between seed and the soil line. There is nor rescue treatment for wireworm.

India could step up crude imports from Iran next month and start transferring billions of dollars it owes for oil as early as next week, following a deal between Tehran and six world powers to curb the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.
The agreement eases some of the sanctions on trade with Iran that have slashed the OPEC member's exports by more than half and cost it as much as $80 billion in lost oil sales since the beginning of 2012, according to White House estimates.
Iran's biggest oil buyers - China, India, South Korea and Japan - have all cut back sharply on purchases.
The deal, struck on Sunday, also suspends sanctions provisions on insurance, which had left refiners that processed Iranian oil without cover and resulted in India's imports falling to below even the level permitted by sanctions.
The removal of the EU restrictions on insurance opens the door for Indian refiners to increase imports to contract levels without breaching sanctions that remain in place limiting Iran's overall exports to around 1 million barrels per day (bpd).
"Till yesterday this crude was not under consideration because of insurance hurdles, but now because of this recent development ... Iranian crude has come into active consideration of HPCL," B. K. Namdeo, head of refineries at state-run Indian refiner HPCL, told Reuters.
For HPCL, that could mean an extra 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) in December to March - about a quarter more than India's daily average Iranian imports over the first nine months of 2013.
The United States had tightened the noose further on Iran's biggest revenue stream in February by asking its oil buyers to stop transferring payments to Tehran and instead keep the money in bank accounts in the currency of the importing country.
Effectively shut out of the global banking system, Iran has been able to use that money only to buy goods and services from the importing country and the cash in those accounts has quickly built up.
The new agreement would let Iran receive about $4.2 billion in oil money from accounts held abroad if it fulfils commitments under the deal over the next six months. It is unclear how much Iran will receive from each country.
A joint commission from Iran and the six powers is supposed to decide which foreign banks can transfer the money to Tehran, what currency they will use, and which Iranian banks will get the cash, a senior US

LONDON (Reuters) – U.S. rock band OneRepublic snatched the top spot in the British singles chart on Sunday, edging out The Vamps in the closest race for the number one position seen all year, the Official Charts Company said on Sunday.
A late surge for OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" helped them outsell new entry "Can We Dance" from British band The Vamps by just 1,150 copies to reach the pinnacle of the charts for the first time.
Former number one "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo and featuring rapper 2 Chainz fell to number three, while Katy Perry's "Roar" dropped into fourth place. A new entry by electro producers Chase and Status completed the top five.
In the album chart, Californian sister-act Haim also benefited from strong sales in the second half of the week to see off a challenge from Justin Timberlake and enter the chart at number one with their debut album "Days Are Gone."
Timberlake's new entry "The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2" pushed former number one albums from the Kings of Leon and the Arctic Monkeys into third and fourth place respectively.

JOCKEY JAVIER MATIAS, MIKE MAN'S GOLD, WINNER: "Nobody believed me that this horse would run well. I felt the first half of the race that we were going pretty easy. Then I looked back and saw (Music of My Soul) coming up close. I was nervous at the three-eighths pole, but when the other horse hadn't gone by us at the quarter-pole, I was feeling pretty good. I asked him at the quarter-pole and he just never quit. I think he's really coming back now. The races before, we kept taking him back, but he was still breaking sharp. I think this is the way he wants to run."
JOCKEY ISAIAS ENRIQUEZ, MUSIC OF MY SOUL, SECOND: " He was galloping nice. It was a pretty good pace; not too fast, not too slow. I felt like I had a lot of horse left, and I knew that nobody was coming outside of me. Right when I thought he was going to fire and blow right by the leader, he started to play around a little bit. He started ducking in a little bit and just kept messing around. No matter what I did, he just wouldn't go by. It's nothing that we can't fix next time.
NOTES: Mike Man's Gold (10-5-0-1-$105,126) is a triple stakes winner at Emerald Downs (2012 Premio Esmeralda, 2012 WTBOA Lads, 2013 Seattle Slew)…Javier Matias has 20 stakes wins at Emerald Downs, tied for No. 7 all-time…Mike Man's Gold with Matias riding: 7-5-0-1-$103,280; without Matias: 3-0-0-0-$1,846…Trainer David Martinez has three stakes wins @ EmD, all with Mike Man's Gold…The $38.80 win mutuel is second largest in the 18 runnings of the Seattle Slew at Emerald Downs…Music of My Soul is the eighth consecutive betting favorite to lose in the Slew, but his $10,000 runner-up check pushed the colt's earnings to $108,832 for owner Ken Alhadeff…Karen & Mickey Taylor, owners of Seattle Slew, served as honorary stewards…Chedoodle, dam of Mike Man's Gold, is by Slewdledo, who was in Seattle Slew's first crop of runners…Horses out of Chedoodle have accounted for seven stakes wins for owners/breeders Keith & Jan Swagerty—No Flies On Doodle (Storm Blast-Chedoodle) won four stakes at EmD in 2009-10, and Mike Man's Gold (Liberty Gold-Chedoodle) has won three stakes in 2012-13.
JOCKEY ROCCO BOWEN, STOPSHOPPINGDEBBIE, WINNER: "I tried to slow down the pace, but I think I might have slowed it down too much. She started to lose a little focus down the backside. I really had to dig at her today. She switched leads a little late, too. I tried to get her to change leads for a bit, but I really didn't want to start fighting with her. I was just concentrating on keeping her happy and she came through. I think (Goin to the Window) got maybe a head on us, but my horse just dug back in. It definitely was a dogfight, which is good because now she knows what it's like. She had me a little nervous at the sixteenth-pole, but I knew if she had it that she would give it to me, and I certainly wasn't going to give up on her. She's a nice horse and always knows what she's doing. I didn't know if we won the race. Both Juan (Gutierrez) and I were asking each other who won the race."
NOTES: Stopshoppingdebbie (4-4-0-0-$-92,318)…Stopshoppingdebbie is the first horse since Shampoo in 2007 to sweep the first three races of the 3-year-old filly series. Shampoo subsequently finished fifth at 0.80-to-1 in the 2007 Washington Oaks won by Rivoltella. The 2012 Washington Oaks at 1 1/8 miles is Saturday, August 10…Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie have finished first, second and third in all three stakes this season—May 26, Seattle Handicap, June 23 Irish Day Handicap, July 14 Kent Handicap. No other trainer or owner had ever swept the top three spots in an Emerald Downs stakes race…Rocco Bowen leads jockeys with three stakes win this season, Isaias Enriquez and Juan Gutierrez each have two stakes wins…Rocco Bowen has six career stakes wins at Emerald Downs, five on horses trained by Tom Wenzel…Wenzel has won five of the first 10 stakes this season, and ranks No. 7 all-time with 26 stakes wins at Emerald Downs. Wenzel's 2013 stakes record @ EmD: 15-5-5-3…Northwest Farms (Jerre Paxton) ranks No. 1 all-time with 32 stakes wins at Emerald Downs…Horses owner or co-owned by Northwest Farms have won five of 10 stakes this season at EmD: Stopshoppingdebbie (Irish Day, Seattle, Kent), Finallygotabentley (Auburn), Exclusive Diva (Washington State Legislators)…Stopshoppingdebbie ($2.40) ties the lowest $2 win pay in Emerald Downs stakes history... Stopshoppingdebbie accounted for $24,353 of $36,164 wagered to win and $25,983 of $30,630 wagered to place. There was no show wagering.

Court career ending
(LE MARS) One of two pilot projects in the state to convert a paper system to electronic records was begun in Plymouth County by Clerk of Court Charlene Peterson, clerk's staff, judges, court reporters district court staff and attorneys.
A reception to honor Peterson for her years of service Wednesday at the Courthouse gave staff from other court offices in northwest Iowa the opportunity to look at the change in court work due to the pilot project.
Chief Judge Duane Hoffmeyer Wednesday reflected on Peterson's contributions to the courts recalling the early years of his law practice and the role court employees had in assisting attorneys.
The chief judge also presented Peterson with a certificate which included color images of the Courthouse buildings where she's worked in her nearly 40-year career. Those at the reception for Peterson signed canary yellow sheets of paper for a guest book prepared in a style similar to court work.

History of the 77th Division Aug 25, 1917 - Nov 11, 1918
We have scanned the publication, "History of the 77th Division Aug 25, 1917 - Nov 11, 1918" and indexed it for your search. This history, one of several such works compiled post World War I, summarizes the Division's activities in the war with descriptions of land convered and battles contested. There are lists of casualties taken and citations issued. We believe this work and those like it provide an excellent resource for family historians and others to understand an important part off our ancestors' lives as they made their way out of the American heartland to military training bases and from there to a European continent which would never again be the same. We hope you find this resource useful and as fascinating as we found it.
The scanned images of original pages are somewhat large files which may take time to load. We have tried to make this text as navigable as possible. Please let us know if you have trouble.

Mickelson falls short at Riviera, but No. 1 with L.A. fans
Los Angeles - With his right hand, Phil Mickelson lifted his putter off the ground in a graceful arc, as if he were raising a rifle toward the 18th hole at Riviera Country Club, as if his ball were bound to hit bottom.
Lefty saved his left hand for punctuation, for an exclamatory fist pump reserved for a golfer's more magical moments. Bedeviled throughout his round by Riviera's stealthily sluggish greens, Mickelson had read this one just right from a distance ShotLink's computed at 26 feet, 9 inches. Mickelson had forced a playoff at the Northern Trust Open with a putt more than four times longer than any he had made all day.
"I was very tentative on the greens today," he said. "I wasn't trying to be. I was trying to knock them in, but they weren't as fast as I was perceiving them to be. That last putt was one, I just gave it a good aggressive roll and it went right in the middle."
In point of fact, this was not Mickelson's last putt. Nor was it Mickelson who would hoist the trophy Sunday afternoon at the Pacific Palisades theatre known as "Hogan's Alley." Bill Haas would sink an even more preposterous putt — 43 feet, five inches — to beat Mickelson and Keegan Bradley on the tournament's second playoff hole.
"I don't say this in a negative way, but everybody is cheering for Phil," Haas said later. "He just won this last week (at Pebble Beach). He's the man. And if I'm at home, I'm cheering for Phil. Everybody is saying, 'Go, Phil, go Phil.' ...
"I just was somewhat under the radar."
Better to be under the radar than in the path of Phil's Flock when Lefty's leading a tournament on Sunday afternoon. Fans stood seven-deep around the green when Mickelson birdied the par-4 No. 5, and the galleries barely acknowledged that any other player was on the premises.
Since Tiger Woods has recently avoided the PGA Tour stop at Riviera, and this despite the club's early embrace of his career, Phil Mickelson has effectively annexed Los Angeles as part of his burgeoning home base. Sunday's playoff loss marked the fourth time in six years that Mickelson had finished first or second at Riviera and raised his career earnings at the course past the $3.5 million mark.
And if he had been even slightly better on the greens Sunday, he might have won the tournament by three or four strokes.
Less than a month ago, when Mickelson missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance open at Torrey Pines, seasoned golf writers openly wondered whether age had overtaken golf's galumphing thrill-seeker. Though golf is a lifetime game, few players remain near its pinnacle past the age of 40. Since Mickelson's 42nd birthday coincides with the third round of June's U.S. Open at San Francisco's Olympic Club, the percentages would seem to favor gradual retreat over continued charges.
Yet if Mickelson's immediate emotion Sunday afternoon was disappointment — he had, after all, won 21 of the 30 previous tournaments he had led after three rounds — he should find further reflection to be reassuring.
Mickelson's confidence is beyond shaking. No one afflicted by nagging doubt or developing would continue to attempt so many outlandish shots in the middle of major championships. No other player has succeeded in locating so many silver linings without aid of a Geiger counter. Still, it has to be heartening for a player to have performed so well in successive weeks and believe he can do better. It has to help Mickelson to know the top of his game is still attainable and still terrific.

Easy Paint & BodyWritten by on April 1, 2002 Plus How To Paint Flames
Self-expression and creativity are two things that inspire car junkies like us to dole out excessive sums of cash and abnormal amounts of time and energy building and pampering our daily drivers and weekend projects. Some people cant get enough grunt from their big-blocks during cruises down Main Street.
Others simply want to see how far they can push the limits of performance. The more detail-oriented among us may prefer to show off the shiny side at car shows. Is one expression of car crafting better than the other? No way. But putting together a complete package is a feat that often escapes even those of us with the best intentions.
With the lions share of time and money expended on the single-minded task of going fast, dedicated dragstrip cars are notorious for being weak in the looks department. Seeing as how it was time for our annual Paint and Body section, we decided to do something a little different this year by using an actual race car (see Car Craft Goes Racing, Feb. 01) as an artistic canvas and how-to test bed. We opted to forgo traditional snore-inducing monochrome colors like black, red, or yellow because we wanted something really eye-catching. To do this, we went to Same Day Auto Painting in Newhall, California, to have the wild retina-burning flame scheme shown on these pages applied. But dont let the name fool youowner Frank Bennetti and shop manager Jim Grant are quite diverse in their talents, and can do everything from a $369 same day job to custom two-stage paint jobs consisting of a basecoat with a clear overlay starting at $2,800.
Unbeknownst to us before we showed up at his shop with our car on the trailer, Bennetti and Same Day Auto Painting have already attained celebrity status.
Located in the heart of Southern Californias entertainment industry with Hollywood just over the hill, Bennetti has been the hired gun for a number of movie and television productions. Remember the ultra-cool 65 Vette with the American flag paint scheme in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me ? Thats his work. How about the convertible Hemi Cuda in the TV show Nash Bridges ? Thats his too (he actually did four of them for the show just in case those goofy Hollywood guys decided to blow one up for fun). This is just the tip of the iceberg. The list goes on with other big-name productions including Casino, Thelma & Louise, Hoover, and the syndicated television show V.I.P. featuring Pamela Anderson (Bennetti has her autographed picture on his wall). Needless to say, we were extremely confident that Bennetti and his crew could turn our tin can into something a lot more lively. So follow along and prepare to be dazzled by a little Hollywood magic from Same Day Auto Painting. And check out How To Paint Flames Video to view some video clips of the painters in action.

Wow! Talk about adding personality. It's almost too nice to ever think about doing another burnout again. Yeah right. Where's the trailer?With the headlamp and taillamp housings removed, Jorge Martinez and Manuel Lemuz of Same Day Auto Painting began by fixing the minor parking lot dings that had accumulated throughout the years. It's always better to start with an oxidized original paint job than a crappy "shiny" one—especially since the unknown work below the paint can quickly become a nightmare for the body shop and your wallet. A late model like this 5.0L has had far fewer years to gather the scars of old age.Lemuz (left) and Martinez (right) first sanded areas that had minor imperfections and applied lightweight body filler to straighten the body. Once the bodywork was finished, any surface area exposing bare metal was immediately covered with self-etching primer to prevent any future corrosion and to promote better paint adhesion.Although most of the body of this 12-year-old car was in terrific shape, the rear hatch wasn't. The original owner of our '89 Mustang had placed a ridiculous double-stacker Super Street–style wing on it. Replacing this atrocity with a more "tasteful" and "subtle" model left several holes that had to be filled with Marglass body filler.The next step was to spray the entire car with primer surfacer. We used PPG's low-VOC and California legal NCP 280 primer mixed with NCX 285 hardener. Here Martinez checks the evenness of the surface area by spraying a quick guidecoat (a light haze of black paint speckled onto the surface area). After the guidecoat is sanded, the remaining paint reveals low spots that will require another coat of primer surfacer to level out. If for some reason the surface area is still too low, you can use a thicker, lacquer-based, primer-compatible putty to cure this. The above photo shows that the guidecoat was completely removed, indicating a smooth, level surface area.Here's a neat little trick to save your existing rubber door trim, which on our car was in relatively good shape except for the warped ends. Rather than replace the entire piece, Same Day used two screws (arrows) to flatten the ends.Once the bodywork is complete, the final body prepping consists of wet-sanding the primer surfacer first with 360-grit 3M sandpaper and then with a finer 600-grit. This'll remove orange peel and ensure a perfectly smooth finish for the basecoat.Once in the paint booth, painter Saul Valencia masked the entire car, applied DX 330 pre-cleaner all over the body panels, and wiped the surface with a tack cloth to remove any impurities before spraying the PPG Ford Dark Shadow Blue Metallic basecoat (DBU3946). Since we live in highly regulated sunny SoCal, Valencia will generally mix a 1:1 ratio of basecoat and reducer, but it's the spray pattern that will ultimately determine the ideal mixture.
A fleeting 90 minutes later, the basecoat is finished. There's no reflectance in the basecoat, which carries only the color, so the paint appears dull and flat at this stage. Grant told us "Just wait until the clear goes on. You'll be amazed!"Our ace Flame dude is Patrick Ceo. Ceo begins by laying down vinyl transfer tape over the areas he intends to apply the flames. Unlike some custom graphic artists who use overlay patterns, Ceo sketches the flame design freehand.Once the layout is drawn to Ceo's liking, he cuts the vinyl tape along the sketch and removes the excess, revealing the pattern and exposing the flame area to be painted.After masking off the front end of the car, Ceo applies the first of several custom color mixtures with a spray gun using PPG's line of Organic paints. The primary color is Sunrise Yellow mixed with a touch of white to create the look of a white-hot flame.Ceo gradually progresses through four additional color layers ranging from a light to dark orange, with touches of yellow and red.Finally, Ceo outlines each flame individually with the primary color using an airbrush. This not only blends the flames back into the front of the car, but also separates them from the basecoat to create the illusion of motion.Although we witnessed the production ourselves, we're still rubbing our eyes in disbelief at the fact that Ceo's handiwork took a mere 5-1/2 hours! Now it's back to the paint booth to receive a final clearcoat over the flames. While the industry standard is to spray three coats of clear over a two-stage basecoat/clearcoat paint job, Valencia sprayed five liberal coats of clear to cover the additional layers of paint applied for the flames. After wet-sanding, there will be no noticeable ridge between the flames and the basecoat.After allowing the clearcoat to cure, Martinez first wet-sands with 800-grit 3M sandpaper over the flames using plenty of water as a lubricant. Next he goes over the entire car with 1,000-grit. Although it's a time-consuming process, color-sanding rids the paint of any flaws like drips or orange peel and produces a smooth, mirror-like finish.

So after upgrading to 7.2.4 I found a strange issue.
This happens in multi-mailbox mode.
user1 lives on server1, user2 lives on server2, user3 lives wherever.
If user1 shares a folder with Admin privs to user2, everything works
If user2 now attempts to re-share the folder with user3 the URL displayed at the bottom of the share screen are wrong exposing actual server names instead of zimbraPublicServiceHostname and user3 can not accept the share.
Has anyone seen this issue or found a workaround for it?

Hot Rod Drawings - Wondering MindWritten on February 29, 2008 A Little Bit Of Anything
There's always a theme for these "Sketchpads," so we'll call this one "Potpourri," because, really, there is no theme. Some of the ideas are cars, some are trucks, and some don't start with anything but Bondo and foam. One of them is Swedish, and another is wooden. Whatever the case, i usually have ideas banging around in my head, and i wanted to get these out so i could mentally move on to other (and some may say better) things. and just so you know, ye editor Kevin nixed a couple of them as being too "out there." he said, "you don't think we're going to get letters about these drawings?" So, for those feeling squeamish about the following, thank Kevin for keeping out the stuff that would really make you urp.
Big Daddy Roth-Type Modern Outlaw
Nobody could do them like Big daddy, and far be it from me to try and out-Roth ed Roth. But after all these years i still like the Modern Mysterion i drew up for R&C in 1990, and i'm sure it influenced him to make his own contemporary Outlaw in the mid-'90s. i've had contemporary Roth cars sloshing around in my head ever since and finally decided to put another one down on paper. however, this version is just a little further reach than the one Big daddy created. The proportions are about the same, but overall it's lower. also, the bubbletop is handled, so it's actually not a bubbletop but a big wrapping windshield with a big wrapping rear window. it gives the profile of a bubbletop without the impractical aspects-such as the microwave effect they are normally associated with. i also stuck a door into it, but you wouldn't have to do this if you choose, and not having one would make the body a much simpler proposition. i could imagine this with 24-inch or even bigger wheels to really exaggerate the rake and stance-something you can actually allow for when you are building your body from scratch. Big daddy was always a great influence on me, and that hasn't changed.
46-48 Town And Country Sedan
I drew up a later T&C with the arcing Buick trim tied into matching wood many years ago in R&C. later, somebody actually carried out this theme on a '37 Ford custom, but it didn't come together well because the '37s are too squat and small, unlike these huge Chrysler T&Cs. So i'm showing an earlier sedan, which is even longer than either my earlier example or the aforementioned '37 Ford. What makes this idea so cool is that probably nobody would actually take one of these and do this, yet it would have been a perfectly good candidate to slide over to the Barris Brothers to perform their kustom magic. The top is handled just like a chopped Merc, with the rear window leaned down, and the rest of the mods shown are typical from that early '50s era of great customs-especially the Matranga/hirohata hardtop window frames. With all the bucks floating around for big projects, everything has a basis in reality these days, so we may see something like this yet.
Crosley Comp Coupe
Many a Crosley and nash Metropolitan body were used in this fashion in the late '50s for the Competition classes of drag racing, so this is nothing new except for me slightly tweaking the concept and making it a little more streetable. a simple rectangular tube frame with the front end out, suicide fashion, would kick this off, with the weed burners positioned exactly within the confines of the front wheel opening. For legroom you would probably want to set this up with two seats as far back as they will go. The chop is extreme, but you may actually be able to pop your head above the header to see where you are going, as this body is the rare convertible version. even with this being the most desirable body that Crosley made, the price tag is still within reasonable grasp. So are Metros, if finding a Crosley taxes your scrounging abilities. anything from a modern high-rev 'banger to a hemi would be at home in this sucker, and it ought to handle like a slot car with it being so small and low.
'60 Chevrolet/Gmc Pickup
This one starts off where some of the previous "Sketchpads" i've done have left off. This is another one of those rusted bodies bolted down to a different frame (C5 Corvette, shortened '90s Caprice, Mustang, etc.) in any position you wish to put it in. Tilting the body gives maximum rake and visually lets you off the hook for the gap between the cowl sides and front end. you could do this to just about any late-'50s through '60s pickup, but these early '60s Chevys and gMCs have that cool, snarky nostril-like hood. i also have a quickie sketch with the body in a more common relation to the frame, but with the hood just slammed down to achieve the nasty rake. it's also shown with a filler panel behind the front wheels in case the rawness of the primered example turns you off. The headlights and Moon tank fill the gap, and the shortened bed adds up to a better proportion for the truck. it's extreme, but it works!
Saab 95 Wagon
It seems that anything is fair game these days as a starting point for your next project, so why not go european? These SaaB 95 wagons were the longroof versions of the 96 sedans and were built in the '60s and '70s in fairly high numbers-enough so that they shouldn't be too hard to snag. Cutting out the bottom of the body and sitting it down on a better chassis would be the way to go. you'll get a modern suspension, steering, powerplant-and best of all, less modification time because it's already figured out for you. Plus, you can position the body down onto the frame for that low look we always want. The size is right, they're two-door, the fins are cool, nobody really wants them today, and they are odd enough that you probably didn't see too many even when they were new-so it's a perfect candidate for the "dare to be different" in you. Paint it red, call it a Ferrari, and proudly stand on the pedal! instant respect!

|Memory of WWII massacre in Germany kept alive in book
|Written by Darci Tomky
Over 1,000 people lost their lives in Gardelegen, Germany April 13, 1945, but with the help of artifacts, history records and individuals, their story lives on today.
After several years of research, 48-year-old Torsten Haarseim has completed a book recounting the WWII massacre which took place in his hometown, and the "Gardelegen Holocaust" book wouldn't have been quite the same without aid from Elton Oltjenbruns of Holyoke.
"As part of my research, I received contact with Elton Oltjenbruns," said Haarseim. "From 2011 to 2013, he wrote to me and told me about what happened. For that I thank him very much in this way."
The first letter was sent from Haarseim June 16, 2011, as he pieced together the puzzle of the Gardelegen massacre. Since Oltjenbruns does not have a computer and Haarseim does not speak English, the two have been corresponding by mailing letters and other documents, with the German using the Internet to translate his writing into English.
"The letters have brought back memories that I would like to forget," said Oltjenbruns in his second letter. "But memories of the war are hard to erase from one's mind."
This Holyoke boy was 22 when he was drafted into the Army at Fort Logan in October 1942. He was one of the first to enter the newly-organized 102nd Infantry Division.
By September 1944, Oltjenbruns was one of 8,000 on a troop ship landing at Cherbourg, France. As a medic and ambulance driver, he served with the 2nd Battalion aid station involved with care and evacuation. Oltjenbruns was in Europe about a year, being discharged Nov. 11, 1945.
After Haarseim's first letter of inquiry, Oltjenbruns, now in his 90s, confirmed he was with the 2nd Battalion of the 405th Regiment of the 102nd Infantry Division (the Ozarks), the first unit to come upon the massacre at Gardelegen.
In Germany in mid-April 1945, nearing the end of the war, U.S. forces occupied the Gardelegen area after a quick surrender by the Germans. An American lieutenant who had been captured led the Germans to believe the American tanks were upon Gardelegen, ready to blast the city. The surrender interrupted the Germans who were hastily trying to conceal the atrocity taking place on the outskirts of town.
At the beginning of April, an evacuation had been ordered for the political and military prisoners being held at the Mittelbau-Dora labor camp. They were driven west toward other German camps to escape the Russians.
Forced from the train about 12 kilometers from Gardelegen, the starved prisoners began their death march, with only 1,200 reaching Gardelegen, as many fell and were shot along the road.
Hearing the town of Gardelegen would soon fall, on April 13 the sick and weak prisoners, who greatly outnumbered the German soldiers, were taken to a large cement barn on the Isenschnibbe estate just outside the town before they could turn on their captors or give secrets to the Allies.
"I am sorry that I have reminded you of the awful experiences of war and in particular the massacre of Gardelegen," Haarseim wrote to Oltjenbruns. "I myself remember almost daily because I live on the surface of the former Remonteschule. From here the prisoners ran on the 13th of April, 1945 to the barn."
German author Torsten Haarseim researches the Gardelegen, Germany massacre, a passion of his for many years. He began correspondence with Holyoke's Elton Oltjenbruns in June 2011.
Once the prisoners arrived at the barn, an empty structure 100 by 50 feet, they were ordered to sit down. "If they did not realize their fate at first, they most certainly must have feared the worst when they saw the gasoline-soaked straw scattered knee-deep on the floor," said the history book "With the 102nd Infantry Division Through Germany."
With only minutes to contemplate their fate, a corporal, only 16 years of age, laughed as he struck a match to the straw. A thousand people were deliberately burned alive, and if they escaped the fiery barn, they were shot to death.
The next morning, the Germans were busy cleaning up the evidence, but the freshly dug common graves were interrupted by the surrender of Gardelegen that afternoon. Had the city held on another day, no evidence would have been left.
On Sunday, April 15, members of Oltjenbruns' battalion were doing a routine search at Gardelegen. At the site of the barn, they found "several prison-uniformed bodies, riddled with bullet wounds and peculiarly charred, laying twisted in the green spring wheat nearby," according to the 102nd Infantry history book.
"Finally, when one of the great wooden doors was pushed open there issued forth to pollute the early spring morning, a cloud of smoke and a stench of burned flesh. Overcoming their nausea, the soldiers explored the forbidding interior to find heaped there in contortions characteristic of the most violent agonies of death the charred and smoking bodies of what they estimated to be at least 300 men."
Later investigations found 1,016 people died in that barn, in their striped clothes with tatooed numbers on their arms.
"That was war," said Oltjenbruns.
The people of Gardelegen, Germany are charged with the responsibility of maintaining the cemetery with the graves of prisoners who died in the 1945 massacre.
In 1979, Elton and Eunice Oltjenbruns visited the Gardelegen memorial in Germany, which honors the 1,016 lives lost of prisoners of war. One wall of the barn where they were burned alive remains to remind people of the tragedy.
He said he doesn't remember much of the massacre at Gardelegen, but he has enough memories of his own from the war. "That war bothers me; it bothered me all these years," he said. "You can't erase your memory."
In a document recounting his experiences at war, Oljenbruns wrote, "The haunting memories of war live on," noting the sight of the thousands of bombers, the elderly civilians who tried to escape the war, the prisoners at the Elbe River and "the sight of more than a thousand bodies of political prisoners that were murdered the day before we captured Gardelegen."
In 1979, Oltjenbruns and his wife Eunice traveled with his Ozark group back to Europe to retrace their steps in the war. They visited Germany and the memorial at Gardelegen where one wall of the barn still stands. They also saw the cemetery where the 1,016 prisoners were given a proper burial.
Following the atrocity, the division commander marched citizens from Gardelegen and nearby towns to the barn to witness the still-smoldering bodies. Every able-bodied German civilian from the neighborhood was forced to provide the bodies their final resting place, marked with a cross or star of David.
The large sign at the cemetery read, "Here lie 1,016 Allied prisoners of war who were murdered by their captors. They were buried by the citizens of Gardelegen, who are charged with the responsibility that these graves are forever kept as green as the memories of these unfortunate souls will be kept in the hearts of the freedom-loving men everywhere."
"I am often thinking about the past," said Haarseim in one of his letters. "Therefore, I write a book about the massacre. It is a novel; I'm telling the story from the point of view of a prisoner and a paratrooper."
Elton Oltjenbruns is corresponding with author Torsten Haarseim about his knowledge of the Gardelegen atrocity during his time as a U.S. Army soldier in WWII.
Haarseim has done much research and has even uncovered artifacts from the earth near Gardelegen, including two dog tags from U.S. soldiers, a mystery he has tried to uncover.
The book was scheduled to be done the end of 2012, and Oltjenbruns excitedly waits to receive his copy in the mail.
"I am proud to know you and thank you for the letters and information," Haarseim told Oltjenbruns, also noting he wrote a personal thanks to him in the introduction of the book.
Haarseim lives in Gardelegen with his wife Franka and their cat Rüdiger.
Following WWII, Oltjenbruns remained active with the 102nd Infantry Division Association, attending many reunion gatherings around the country and keeping in contact with the men he served with.

NEW YORK (AP) – More than 111 million people watched the Super Bowl this year, making it the most watched TV event in history.
It's the fourth time in five years that it's set a new record. A
An even bigger audience of 115 million people watched Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers halftime show. That breaks the record for a halftime show audience set by Madonna.
Nearly 26 million people stuck around after the game to watch Prince do a guest shot on "New Girl." By the time "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" came on after "New Girl," the audience had dwindled to about 15 million, which is nearly four times as many viewers as it usually gets.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Super Bowl XLVIII
It's not just the TV ratings from the Super Bowl that matter these days. Fox says an average of 528,000 people watched the live Internet stream of Sunday's rout by the Seattle Seahawks over the Denver Broncos.
The highest number of online viewers came at the end of the third quarter — when the game was well in hand for Seattle. It's perhaps an indication that people at Super Bowl parties or at home felt safe to check out other programming while monitoring the game online — or chose to mingle with others who weren't glued to the lopsided win.
The number of Super Bowl related tweets was 24.9 million — up from 24.1 million such tweets last year.

Dr. Lillian Craton, assistant professor of English and director of Lander University's s Honors College, delivered the main address when the university conducted a Opening Convocation on Sept. 9, a ceremony attended by faculty and students, signaling the start of the fall semester.
Lander University revived its tradition of beginning a new school year with an Opening Convocation on Monday, Sept. 9. Members of the faculty, garbed in academic regalia, paraded to seats in the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center Auditorium for the formal assembly that was also attended by students.
In his welcoming remarks, Lander president Dr. Daniel Ball said convocation is a "calling together" of people for a special purpose that came primarily from the church, but it is now closely associated with higher education. "Our purpose is the education of our students," he said.
Ball added, "As our world changes more rapidly than some of us feel it should, it is comforting to be a part of an old tradition, a convocation tradition that much of higher education seems to be shedding. Lander is marked by the tradition of a baccalaureate degree with integrity, and that integrity is demonstrated by quality as well as tradition. Our convocation should remind us of those."
He thanked Dr. Lucas McMillan, associate professor of political science, Dr. Lillian Craton, assistant professor of English, and Dr. David Mash, vice president for Academic Affairs, for leading the initiative to reinstitute the convocation.
In her keynote address titled "How to College," Dr. Craton shared three simple steps to succeed in life, both in and after college: show up, buy in and adapt. She characterized her speech as a pep talk that was meant to demystify the college experience for students. Craton is the director of Lander's new Honors College and is the university's 2013 Distinguished Professor.
Mash said, "The convocation will demonstrate how Lander rewards academic excellence as well as offers many opportunities for professional growth and development." He pointed to the university's Study Abroad Program, internships, experiential learning, the new Honors College, academic special awards and the international program with over 30 students from South Korea and China enrolled in the fall semester.
He congratulated faculty who have received tenure and were promoted in rank this fall. They include: Farha Ali, associate professor of computer science; Drs. Chris Duncan and Josie Ryan, associate professors of mathematics; Gail Moore, associate professor of accounting, and Jim Slagle, associate professor of art. In the Jackson Library, Michael Berry was promoted to associate librarian.
Tenured faculty members Drs. Carlos Mentley and Osvaldo Parilla were promoted to the rank of professors of Spanish.
Mash also mentioned the accomplishments of Lander's faculty as teachers and scholars. He said, during the 2012-13 academic year, Lander faculty published two books, 42 articles and 12 book chapters; made 130 presentations at local, state, regional and national conferences; engaged in 68 creative activities; wrote four research reports; obtained 29 research grants, and produced two pieces of software.

Palm Harbor, FL (Sports Network) - Kevin Streelman carded a 6-under 65 for the
low round of the day Saturday to grab a share of first place following three
rounds of the Tampa Bay Championship.
Streelman was joined by Justin Leonard (67) and George Coetzee (68) atop the
leaderboard at 6-under-par 207 after 54 holes on the Copperhead Course at
Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club.
"It was one of those days I played smart and made putts when I needed to,"
said Streelman. "I wanted to get to 6-under today. I thought that was a good
number to at least give me a shot tomorrow."
Jim Furyk also moved his way up the leaderboard with a 4-under 67 to nab a
share of fourth place. He was joined by Ben Kohles (69), Greg Chalmers (69)
and Tag Ridings (70) a shot back of the leaders at 5-under.
Kohles and Chalmers were among the players tied at the top of the leaderboard
entering their final holes, but recorded bogeys to fall a shot off the pace.
Shawn Stefani, who was the leader at the conclusion of both the first and
second rounds, struggled to five bogeys and just two birdies en route to a 3-
over 74, falling into a group of five players tied for eighth place at 4-
under-par 209.
One of the players grouped with Stefani is 2012 champion Luke Donald (67).
Donald was three strokes back of the leader entering the final round of this
event last year before closing with a 6-under 66 and topping Furyk, Robert
Garrigus and Sang-Moon Bae in a playoff.

Very nice so far! You may want some additional towers or turrets along the long walls. Are those cliffs overlooking the beach and bridges across the water?
Since 12rounds has made several characters for the region, and the background has started to take off, I figured it was time to get a map out for Port Magalie in the Witchlight Strand.
This is still very much a WIP. Things still on the list:
* Add more buildings inside and outside the walls to make placement a bit more random.
* Create the docks and docks district.
* Detail the walls (the white lines and blue dots are only placeholders).
* Add a scale bar (Port Magalie is about 2 miles at its longest point).
* Add labels
* Fix whatever you guys tell me needs fixing.
I don't think I'm a great mapper, but I've definitely got more of a handle on it now than when I first got here. And man, this stuff is addicting!
C&C encouraged, as always.
Very nice so far! You may want some additional towers or turrets along the long walls. Are those cliffs overlooking the beach and bridges across the water?
Looks nice.
Walls over rivers are tricky, they would more likely be a tower bridge. The purpose is to control the traffic on the river for tax collecting and defense.
You should wall up the SE edge of the keep, the walls are not just there do stop an assault, they are there to protect the buildings from artillery. As it is, if the enemy takes the SE bank they could fire straight into the keep. Not good.
Also, there are very long stretches without towers. I don't know how well defended this city is supposed to be, but i would put some hanging towers on there and have sizable bastions on all corners.
I love the colors on this IG, the greens are very rich and deep. Looking forward to seeing more.

I looked around for a bit to see if there were any historical examples of river-spanning fortifications of that sort, but I didn't find anything useful. Mostly references to a certain hard disk manufacturer or a hotel in Washington, D.C.
I suspect that sinking footings for a sturdy wall into the river bed would be a tricky engineering task, not to mention you'd have to have a gate mechanism to let legitimate traffic through. I think the most effective way to deny access to the river mouth would be artillery. Perhaps someone with more expertise in this area knows something more.
There is one possibility from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time novels--a particular city's harbors are defended by chains that normally lie on the river bottom. If the city is threatened, they are winched up to just above the water-line. That seems a pretty flimsy defense to me, though. Any enemy who knows it's there would simply attack it with a heavy ramming ship and likely rip the chain right out of its mechanism.
Looking good so far! Definitely put some more buildings inside the walls though.
Are people going to be allowed to cross the river? It looks like you are doing walls instead of bridges, so I was wondering.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
It gives some information on Rhine castles, mostly built by robber barons
They had the castle on one of the banks and a tower on the other bank. A chain was between them and could be raised.
Also see:
It seems the robber barons were put out of business when their castles were destroyed one after the other

Very nice Industrygothica, there can never be enough city maps I like the look of the houses and the overall look of the map. However, there are a few comments I would send your way:
First, I'm assuming Port Magalie is located on either side of a river gorge (which explains the lower area). If so, why is the upper and lower river area fortified with walls around or across them? While many Renaissance and Medieval cities would have fortifications guarding the entrances to bays and rivers, they would deny access to said body of water by stringing across a chain. Any raider or ship that wanted to enter would have to cut the chain, bringing it into range of catapults, trebuchets, and in an rpg setting, magic users.
Second, where's the bridge? A city that is a large as Port Magalie should have some type of bridge linking both halves. If the city has been there for awhile (several centuries), than it is likely to be a stone bridge, otherwise it will likely be wood. You may also want to experiment with putting structures on both sides of the bridge, as space in medieval cities was at such a premium that people built wherever they could (see the picture of old London Bridge at http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb...4-C01AA454.jpg).
Third, why do you have two cities instead of one? What do I mean by that? The two halves of Port Magalie are constructed as if they are two separate cities. There are no roads that lead from one side to the other and the houses are away from the sides of the gorge. While no one is going to be crazy enough to construct a house on a cliff, you need to think of a city growing out like rings on a tree. Take a look at this map of Paris (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b77106992 --its a bit anachronistic as its from 1705). Notice how the city seems to grow out from the center island, which it did. I would cluster the buildings closely together nearest the river (and especially on whichever side the city started) and space them out as you get away from the urban core (like you've done on the north side).
Fourth, where are the markets? You have a large circular open area on the southeast side, but I do not see a gate in the wall to get to it from the outside. Markets are going to be along or just off major thoroughfares in your city as transportation to and from them was key--situate them accordingly. Also, if you have a port city, as this one seems to be, there should be at least one market near the docks, to handle all the fish and seafood coming in.
Lastly, if this is a large city (with a population in the tens of thousands), then the docks district is likely to be large. Make sure that you have plenty of warehouses, salting mills, and shipyards near the water.
As with all maps, you can take realism to far, but I do think that adding in some of the items mentioned above will make for a better map that is a bit more realistic to the eye. Regardless, great work Industrygothica and keep at it.
[Edit] Wow, in the time it took me to write this, quite a few folks chimed in, just ignore any redundant comments on my part.

Written by Meaghan Maess, Buffalo State College student and communications intern at Catholic Health
Having a baby is one of the most rewarding experiences in a parent's life – but it can also be among the most challenging. To ease your transition into parenthood, prepare for your new arrival before you try to conceive.
Maintain a Healthy WeightHaving a healthy weight increases the chances of conception and will reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. The best way to determine if you are at a healthy weight is to consult your doctor. To get a general idea, use a Body Mass Index calculator or Waist-to-Hip ratio calculator.
Eat a Healthy DietA healthy diet should include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy and protein. Saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars and salt should be kept to a minimum.
"It is important to let your health care provider know what your dietary habits are," says Dr. Scott Zuccala, who practices at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo and the Hamburg OB/GYN Group.
"Even if one is a vegetarian, there are ways to maintain an adequate dietary intake."
To learn more about healthy eating, read our smart eating series, or see our Pinterest boards for nutritious recipes approved by our Registered Dietitians.
Consume NutrientsWhile pregnant women need to increase their intake of the nutrients below, it's never too early to get your levels on track.
Talk to your doctor to make sure that you're getting the right amount of nutrients for you and your baby.
Calcium: During pregnancy, your developing baby will use calcium for bone growth. Most women do not get enough calcium, so it's important to increase your intake to avoid losing bone density. Pregnant women need between 1000 and 1300 mg of calcium a day, about the equivalent of 3 to 4 servings of milk.
Calcium can be found in dairy products, tofu, salmon and leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce.
"If you are getting enough calcium from your diet, supplements are not necessarily good," says Dr. Zuccala.
Speak to your physician before taking supplements.
Iron: In pregnant women and their developing babies, iron helps the blood carry oxygen. Iron can be found in eggs, enriched grains, fish, poultry, red meat, liver and leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce.
Folic Acid: "Folic acid helps to prevent neural tube or brain development defects such as spina bifida," says Dr. Zuccala. "This is one of the birth defects that an expectant mother can potentially modify. The American College of OBGYN guidelines state that women of reproductive age should take a 400 ug folic acid supplement. For women at high risk, a 4 to 5 mg dose is recommended."
Folic acid can also be found in lean meat, grains, nuts, beans, citrus fruits and leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce.
Visit Your Healthcare ProviderIf you have chronic health problems, your doctor can help you get them under control before pregnancy. There may also be immunizations or tests you should have before pregnancy, such as rubella, chicken pox and tests for herpes and other viruses.
If you don't have a primary care physician, call HealthConnection or search our online physician directory.
Visit Your DentistThe bacteria that causes gingivitis is suspected of causing premature labor. The increase in hormones during pregnancy also affects oral health, increasing your risk for developing gingivitis.
"Gingivitis, the inflammation of the gums, is a very under-diagnosed and thus under-treated portion of healthcare that can have very serious consequences. The healthcare team that takes care of the mother and fetus needs to look at the whole picture," says Dr. Zuccala.
Decrease StressStress can lead to problems with infertility. Practicing mindfulness, thinking positively and focusing on your senses are all good tactics for reducing stress and anxiety in your life.
Don't Smoke or DrinkAlcohol and cigarettes are detrimental to your health and the health of your baby. Smoking and heavy drinking is also linked to fertility issues in men.
"The new policy by the American College of OBGYN states that no amount of alcohol or tobacco during pregnancy is safe," says Dr. Zuccala. "The unborn fetus is passive and has no choice but to ingest what the mother does."
Consider Natural Family PlanningNatural Family Planning is a natural method for achieving pregnancy. It teaches women to observe and chart changes in their body to learn about their fertility patterns. To learn more, read Strengthen Your Marriage with Natural Family Planning.
Preparing your body for pregnancy can reduce risks of complications and make sure mother and baby are healthy and happy.
You can learn more about pregnancy at Catholic Health's Pregnancy Resource Center.

Very cool.
I for one find city layouts quite hard. I think most people here do too because when you see a fantasy map with great layout it is very noticeable. So you have a great sense of layout to produce cities that are believable.
If you had great skill in using map editing software to put texture, color and the realistic terrain onto them then your maps would be lifelike.
We have a 'rep' system here so here's some...

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Josh Smith had 30 points and Al Horford
finished with 26 to pace the Atlanta Hawks in a 108-76 blowout victory over
the Orlando Magic on Wednesday at Amway Center.
Both players tallied double-doubles before sitting out the fourth quarter.
Smith grabbed 10 rebounds and Horford hauled in 12 as the Hawks head into
the All-Star break with wins in seven of their last 11 games.
The Magic had finally snapped their season-worst 12-game losing streak with a
win on Sunday over the Trail Blazers, but completely unraveled against the
Hawks from the second quarter on.
Jameer Nelson and Andrew Nicholson were the only Orlando scorers in double-
figures, each posting 10 points in the team's 24th loss in 27 games.

Topic Contents
Multiple Sclerosis: Mental and Emotional ProblemsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Cognitive impairment problems can be caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) and may include difficulty with:
- Memory, especially short-term memory.
- Problem solving.
- Keeping attention on a mental task, such as a math calculation.
- Finding the right words to express yourself.
These problems are often quite mild early in the course of the disease. But they may get worse with time, depending on the location of tissue damage (MS lesions) in the brain. Neuropsychological tests may help identify specific problems. Side effects of medicines used to relieve physical MS symptoms may cause cognitive problems.
Emotional problems may include:
- Depression, which is common in people with MS.
- Anxiety.
- Anger.
- Inappropriate cheerfulness (euphoria).
- Uncontrollable outbursts of crying or laughing at strange or inappropriate times.
- Thoughts of suicide.
Treating your emotional problems is as important as treating other symptoms of MS. Family counseling and counseling by other people who have MS are both available. If you need help finding a counselor or support group, contact your doctor or the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
