Tonight is the debut of me and former Iowa QB Kyle McCann's show on KXNO, we will be on live from 5-6 discussing Cyclone and Hawkeye football. Make sure to tune into Miller and Brinson starting at 4 then me and Kyle will be on at 5!
Go Clones
I'll be listening! Very excited for you and good luck!
Good luck with the show!
Will be tuning in to check it out. Miller & Brinson's 6 o' clock hour usually needs help. Hopefully this gig is the ticket.
Keep doing what you're doing to build Strong Towns.
Sweet... do you guys know if it will be available as a podcast? I'm usually not able to listen to the radio at that time slot, but would love to listen in.
Good luck!
I plan on tuning in. What is the general topic area? Football only? Iowa/ISU topics? General sports?
Its beyond pride. Its a restored trust. Theres a confidence again, a passion that teeters on swagger. More than anything, (Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads) has restored the Iowa State it factor, the steadfast belief that it is great to be a Cyclone...the mans enthusiasm is genuine to the core...
columnist Sean Keeler, Des Moines Register
Now, if only you guys could make that a daily deal, we would only be stuck with Miller and Brinson for one hour daily. Who will be the "host"? Always better to have one guy be the topic starter, right?
Good luck AA! From listening to you when you were a guest for an entire show, it should be a blast to listen to.
I was a bit dissapointed in the show. Not because of AA or Kyle but I guess I didnt realize that it was basically an interview of the two of them by Jimmy B and K Miller.
I guess I didnt understand what the show was about. I was hoping that AA and McCann would have "taken over" the show and those other two jack ****** would just take the hour off.
AA if you read this I'm glad to have one true ISU representative in the market even if it is only for 1 hr a week. Good job today and keep it up. Looking forward to hearing this as the season goes on.
FWIW, I thought it was great. One of the best 30 minutes (that's all I was able to catch) I've heard on that station in a long time.

AA did a good job....McCann has the same personality as Ferentz, monotone and boring.
AA did say that Tiller was practicing with at WR for the scout team. I'm not sure if that had been mentioned before.

The podcast is up at kxno.com. listening to it now.
Either McCann is boring, or nervous or both.
They will have more to discuss in the weeks following. Miller is just doing backgrounds today. I'm sure they will have more chemistry as they go on. For the record, Austen is not bad...

I'd like to set up a zimbra server with a mixed installation: Zimbra Open Edition + Zimbra Network Edition in order to release to my clients a service rather than another according to their needs.
I attended a Zimbra webinair in which they spelled out this configuration but I can't find a guide to do that as clean as possibile.
Can you help me with this?
Another question, is it possible to configure different type of mail address (open / net) under the same domain?
Than you in advance.

The current track, named Paul Ricard HTTT (High Tech Test Track) was completely overhauled and relaunched in 2001. New curves were introduced and some famous ones removed but, above all, the modifications allowed more than a hundred layouts to be set.
Paul Ricard was one of the first circuits to have all-asphalt run off areas. A special, ultra-abrasive finish was added to slow cars that strayed off line.
The advanced facilities make the French circuit one of the finest of its type.
One curious fact to round things off: the old track included the 'Signes' curve at the end of the 1.8 km 'Mistral' straight. Formula 1 journalists normally sat by the curve to check which drivers went flat out and which lifted off the gas; all they had to go by was their ears tuning in to the engines!

Pulled an archery tag in Modoc, CA X3B zone. Was scouting last weekend at about 6300 ft., around Lassen Creek/Harris Flat, have some private property access there. Didn't see a thing. Moving on either Wilderness south or Dismal Swamp to the north. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Not sure about the exact boundaries, but is that zone east or west of 395 in the town of Likely/Madeline? If it is west? pm me
Welcome to the forum sankwaimento. Awesome pulling a X3B tag and best wishes to you.
I was just south of C3 fishing for trout in Battle Creek south South West of X3B this past weekend. It hit 109 where I was but I did see a forked horn early in the AM while going out. I don't think I've ever hiked with a pack in that kind of heat yet to date. Hopefully the heat will let up a bit for you. Not much fun for me hiking in 109 degree heat at least. Hope you have a fun and successful hunt.
Is east side of highway to Oregon border. X3a is Westside. Dad had rifle in b last season. Didn't see any antelope. A couple real nice bucks. The lower country was full of atvs and people everywhere in the wilderness within 6 miles of every trailhead. pm me I have a spot or two to try. If anything stop in at the likely bar and say hey to Tom and have a cold one!
Sent you a PM.
We pulled two bucks out of the dismal swamp areA. During archery there are some big boys running around ontop of mt. bidwell and just north aswell, just male sure you watch the state boundary lines.

I recently moved a fully functional installation to a new domain and on a new WAN and LAN IP. It is the current ZCS 3.1 installation on SUSE 10.0
Since the change of hostname and IP address I have been able to make the majority of the installation functional again. However I am unable to send from an email client continually getting the recipient address rejected.
I have SMTP auth enabled and have tested by entering an invalid set of credentials and it returns an authentication error.
The MTA TLS authentication only is off. When i turn it on i receive an Entourage does not support any of the available authentication methods.
Another weird effect of the move is that the /var/log/zimbra.log is now empty. I do have current entries inb the /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log file but they only relate to info and imapsslserver connections. No mention of failed SMTP attempts.
when i run postconf is see the mydestination includes $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
I do not want to change this without further knowledge as i don't want to enable a spam relay server. Is this where my issue is?
My networks includes 127.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.46.0/24 The mail server is by itself on this network so i have not tested local sending. Sending works fine from the webmail client so i think that appropriatly tests the local sending.
thanks alot

Board members also held a 30-minute executive session with the superintendent and two principals for discussion of personnel matters relating to recommendations for the extra-duty posts.
Baumgartner expressed support for his dad, John Baumgartner, who has served as the HHS boys' basketball coach. Ryan addressed concern for the way his dad was treated, adding he felt there was no respect nor fairness in the way the coaching evaluation/assignment was handled.
Nine vacancies still exist on the 2010-11 extra-duty list, in addition to the band director and musical positions slotted for Wiebers prior to the announcement of her retirement.
Supt. Bret Miles pointed out four new assignments as changes from 2009-10. They include Scott Dille, head HS boys' basketball coach; Jack Garrison, head HS wrestling coach; Jim Yakel, head JH girls' basketball coach; and Jane Zink, JH spiritleader sponsor.

Other head HS coaching jobs, band director and play director carry a $3,102 stipend; head JH coaches, $1,825; assistant HS coaches, weight room sponsor and HS spiritleader coach, $1,861; assistant JH coaches and JH spiritleader, $1,241; and choir director and musical director, $932 each.

Trading Away Peace: How Europe helps sustain illegal Israeli settlements

Last Update 30 October 2012
The European Union imports fifteen times more from Israel's illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory than from Palestinians themselves, a new report [1] from a coalition of 22 non-governmental organisations including the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Christian Aid UK and Ireland, and Diakonia revealed today.
The report, entitled "Trading Away Peace: How Europe helps sustain illegal Israeli settlements", is the first to compare available export data from Israeli settlements and Palestinians, highlighting the inconsistency at the heart of EU policy. The EU states, "settlements are illegal under international law, constitute an obstacle to peace, and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible" [2], but continues to provide a primary export market for settlement products. Most EU Member States have failed to ensure products are correctly labelled in stores, leaving consumers unaware of the products' true origin, contrary to the EU's own directives [3].
"Europe says settlements are illegal under international law and yet continues to trade with them. Consumers are unwittingly contributing to the injustice by buying products that are inaccurately labelled as coming from Israel when in fact they are from settlements in the West Bank," said William Bell, Policy and Advocacy Officer at Christian Aid UK and Ireland.
The report, which has a foreword by the former EU Commissioner for External Relations, Hans van den Broek, calls on European governments to adopt a range of concrete measures to stop assisting settlement expansion and close the gap between words and practice. At a minimum, the coalition is calling for clear labelling guidelines to ensure European consumers do not unknowingly buy settlement goods [4]. Such guidelines already exist in the UK and Denmark and are under consideration in several other member states including Sweden and Finland [5].
Trade with settlements has been on the EU agenda since May, when EU Foreign Ministers strongly criticised "the marked acceleration of settlement construction" and for the first time called for full application of existing EU legislation regarding products from settlements [6].
The Israeli government estimates the value of EU imports from settlements at around €230m a year [7]; compared to €15m a year from Palestinians [8]. The discrepancy is partly driven by Israel's policy of providing large subsidies to settlers [9], including for infrastructure, business development, and agriculture while imposing stringent restrictions on the Palestinian access to markets and resources.
Settlers enjoy easy access to international markets, and have established modern agribusinesses and industrial zones. In contrast, the Palestinian economy is "severely constrained by a multi-layered system of restrictions" [10] imposed by Israel, including roadblocks, checkpoints and limited access to land, water, and fertilisers. As a result, Palestinian exports have fallen from over half of GDP in the 1980s to less than 15% of GDP in recent years [11], effectively invalidating the EU's preferential trade agreement with the Palestinians.
"The EU spends hundreds of millions of euros in aid each year to support Palestinian state building but then undermines this assistance by trading with illegal settlements, thus contributing to their viability and expansion," said Dr Phyllis Starkey, former British MP and Trustee of Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Among the settlement goods that are on sale in Europe are dates, grapes, citrus fruits, herbs, wines, cosmetics from Ahava, some of the carbonation devices from SodaStream and some of the plastic garden furniture produced by Keter.
"Goods from West Bank settlements are produced on the back of house demolitions, land confiscations, and military occupation. Governments need to finally move beyond rhetorical condemnations of settlements and at the very minimum ensure consumers can make informed decisions about these products in shops. This is nothing but abiding by European and international law," said Souhayr Belhassen President of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).

Awesome bull!!!! What part of the state?
We just returned home from my 2013 Wyoming Elk hunt. What a great time we had. After scouting 5 different weeks during the last couple of months, and with the help of some great friends and family, I was able to seal the deal with my bow, on the bull we were after. He's a 7X8. It was great to be back in my old stomping grounds of Big Wonderful Wyoming.

Any other CF'ers out there into sports betting? I thought maybe we could share information, recommendations, insights, etc. to help try and make each other some money.
I'm a small time bettor...usually betting $50-$100 per week on college football and the NFL. I don't do any baseball or basketball because its just to volatile. I'll typically bet on 4-5 games per week and then try a 3-4 team parlay.
Looking at the lines for this weekend...anyone have any games they think are locks? I'm thinking of a 4 team parlay for this week:
Indy (-7.5) at Tennessee
Cincinnati (-7) at Cleveland
New Orleans (-4) at Tampa Bay
Seattle (-3) at Arizona
$10 pays off $132.
I didn't really see any college lines that looked appealing.
Your thoughts?
I have parlayed your first 3 in one form or another. I bought a 1/2 point to get Indy down to 7 just to feel fuzzy.
I like USC, Illinois, and ISU tomorrow.
all four are away games... I typically avoid that many away games in a parlay.
I would try for a few home teams this weekend like Chicago, NYG, Denver or Balt.
This post is pending approval of site sponsors.

I saw that too although I'm typically not as worried about homefield in the NFL (especially with Cleveland and Tampa).
Chicago (-13)
I'm not too comfortable with those numbers. I would lean towards Chicago. Which game to replace? Indy?
OK, I'm a betting dummy as I've never really gotten into it. If there's anybody like me that needs a refresher every once in a while, I've copied a betting 101 guide from betus.com as a helper...
Guide To Straight Bets
Straight Parlays Teasers If-Bets Action-Reverse
A straight bet is very simply one wager on the outcome of a single event or game as determined by a known point spread, money line (ML), run line, Total or Puck (Canadian) Line. To win the wager, the team or entrant must win the game or event outright or cover the given spread.
Each event will have a favorite and an underdog. The favorite will be designated by having a negative (-) sign and the underdog will have a positive (+) sign or no sign at all.
Payouts will be determined by posted lines or odds, which are usually set at -110 (win $100 for every $110 wagered) unless otherwise noted. This can also be written in fraction form as 11/10. Please note that while changing spreads can affect the chances of winning your wager, it is the odds that affect your payout.
To calculate your payout, either:
Divide 100 by the negative (Favorite) ML, and then multiply that by your wager amount, or,
Divide the positive (Underdog) ML by 100, and then multiply that by your wager amount.
Straight bets are used in all sports.
The simplest and most common line is the money line. The money line is the amount you must wager on the favorite in order to win $100. There is no spread to cover with a money line wager. All your team needs to do is win the game.
Point spreads show you the number of points a team must win by if they are the favorite or can lose by if they are the underdog. You will know the favorite because, just as with money lines, the points will have a negative sign. Underdogs, conversely, are designated by being given points. Their points are shown in the positive and that is the amount of points the team can lose by and still be considered winners for wagering purposes.
For example: You see the Dolphins are playing the Steelers next week. The Steelers are the favorites, you know, because they are listed at -5 points on the point spread. That means they have to win the game by more than 5 points for a wager on the point spread to be graded as a win. On the money line, they are at -210. The negative sign shows them to be favored and means you would have to wager $210 in order to win $100 on this game. The Dolphins, conversely, are listed at +5 points on the point spread and +200 on the money line. A $100 wager on the money line on the Dolphins would pay you $200 if they win the game outright and, wagering on the point spread means they could lose the game by 4 points or less and you would still win that wager.
With point spreads, the number of points is always the same. You only need to change the -/+ sign. So, taking the underdog Dolphins, this means you will need to bet $110 to win $100, but your team can lose by up to 4 points and you still win. If your team loses by 5 points you push, and they now have to lose by 6 points for you to lose the game.
For example: Let's say you place 2 wagers on the Steelers in this game. The first wager you place is on the point spread and the second wager is on the money line. Game time comes and the Dolphins keep it real close, in fact, they are winning 21-17 until the final drive when Big Ben takes his team downfield in a two-minute drill and runs the ball in, giving the Steelers a 24-21 victory. What does this mean for you? Well, it means you won on your money line wager because the Steelers pulled off a victory. On the point spread, however, you had them at -5 points. When you subtract 5 points from their final score you end up with a 19-21 game in favor of the Dolphins and so this wager on the Steelers would be a loss for you. If the spread had been 3 points, instead of 5, this game would have ended up in a 21-21 tie and your wager would have been what is called a 'Push' or 'No Action' and your wager amount would have been returned to you.
Basically the point spread gives you a secondary, fantasy score that is used only for wagering purposes.
Betting the Totals or Over/Under is very simple. There will be a number given in the Totals section for which you will have 2 options. You can take either the Over or the Under. To win the wager, the 2 team's combined score for that (segment of the) game must add up to either more or less than the given total, depending on which side you took. If you took the Over, you'd want the scores to add up to more than the Total offered and if you took the Under, you'd want the combined scores to add up to less than the Total offered.
For example: In the football game above, the Total given by the book makers was 43.5 points. The final score of 24-21 adds up to 45 points. If you had wagered on the Over/Under, you would have a winning wager only if you took the Over.
Run lines and Puck, or Canadian, lines are basically point spreads for baseball and hockey respectively, with attached money lines. They almost always are set at +/- 1.5 runs or goals while the attached money lines will move and vary.
1) All straight bets are single wagers the outcome of which is Win, Loss or Push (Tie, No Action, Cancelled) based on the event or game wagered on.
2) All have standard odds (-110) and pay 10 on 11 unless otherwise noted.
3) The line taken when the wager is placed is constant regardless of subsequent line fluctuation on the BetUS site.
4) Ties, Cancellations, Pushes and No Action wagers, for whatever reasons they occur, will result in wager amounts being returned to the BetUS client's BetUS account.
Buying Points
In basketball and football, the sports with point spreads, you will sometimes see a game and a point spread that you like somewhat but you are not quite sure about. For single wagers, we allow you to buy points on those games and, thus, put the odds of winning more in your favor. Of course, there is a premium to be paid for this service as we would otherwise run ourselves right out of business. The price you pay for each half point you buy averages out to an extra 10% juice, or vigorish.
When a line is at standard odds of -110, there is a 10% juice. An extra 10% then would make that line at -120.
For example: You see the Pistons at -4 against the Heat but would feel more comfortable with them at -2 as you are pretty sure Shaq will keep it close at least. You then would have to purchase 2 full points. Paying an extra 10% per half point means it would cost you an extra 40% to move the spread 2 points, however, there is a 10% charge to get from 1.5 points to 2 points. So, where the game started at -4 (-110), you are now getting it at -2 (-150). You now have to wager $150 to win $100, instead of the standard $110. By paying more and buying those extra two points, your chances of winning your bet have increased significantly. Detroit ends up winning 121-118. At the standard price, you would have lost that wager but, by paying the premium and taking the points, you are now up $100 whereas you otherwise would be down $110. As in most things in life, you get what you pay for.
One more facet of this feature is in football, where, if you buy on, off or through the 3-point or 7-point mark an extra 20-25% is charged. The extra charge is because of the significance of these 2 point spreads in football.
For example: If the game above were a football game and you bought from -4 down to -2 for the favorites, you would have bought through 3 and so, on top of the -150 you had to pay in basketball, you add another 15%, bringing the line up to -165. It might seem costly to have to wager $165 in order to win $100 but you must decide for yourself whether or not you deem that price worth paying in order to better guarantee yourself a winning wager. After all, in the end it is not about how much you risked to win, but that you actually do win.
You may buy points on straight bets, if bets and action reverses.
Assuming standard odds here are the rules for buying points:
1/2 point - you lay 120/100
1 point - you lay 130/100
1 1/2 points - you lay 140/100
2 points - you lay 150/100
3 points - you lay 170/100
You may not buy more than 3 points on any one game.
Note: When buying on, off or through 3 in football, the charge rises to 25 % (see above). When buying on, off or though the 7 in football the charge rises to 20%.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
Baltimore, Philly or St Louis ?
Watch the Tenn / Indy game. Tenn seems to have the Colts number at least with keeping it close. Although PacMan will not be able to cover Harrison this year.
Clones and 18 points looks pretty good, I think the Hawks have only covered once against ISU in the past 9 years. Cleveland is a mess, so Cincy looks good, TB may gave NO some troubles since they have a QB now.
I have never been huge into betting on sports but I did have a great weekend in Vegas. Went Labor day weekend a few years back... Decided to try some parlays, did a 3-4-5-6 team parlay... In each one I used the same teams and just added one... Hit the 3, 4, ad 5 and JUST missed the 6 by a point (Louisville at Kentucky). Pretty much paid for one of the best Vegas weekends ever...
Unfortunately a few months later I learned NOT to bet on baseball, damn Kerry Wood!
Originally Posted by keepngoal

I'm not convinced with St. Louis at all. Baltimore at -10 seems too high. I could be convinced to take Philly at -7 against the Redskins.
That's a pretty good summary Jeremy. Although it doesn't really discuss the parlay much.
In a parlay, you can bet on multiple games. In order for you to win the bet, you must bet correctly on each and every game that is in the parlay. So when someone says a 4-team parlay...they must win their bet on each game. If they go 3-1, they still lose. Parlays are very lucrative but very hard to predict about about 3-4 teams.
Vegas and local bookies love parlays. Most people lose them...it's hard to get 3 or 4 bets right. It really is. I used to take parlay bets (small money) and always made money. There will be that one week where you get killed but over the long haul it's a major house edge. I love to put $5 on one or two every week though. They are great for the casual gambler in that they provide a lot of entertainment for the money. Because the casual gambler loves these they become a great source of income for bookies. Casual gamblers usually lose.
I play a lot of teasers. I like to tease home team favorites down to where they only have to win the game. A 3 team teaser gives you 6 points per team so I like to find home team favorites that are favored by about 6-7 points. With the 6 points they basically only have to win the game to cover the bet. Not failsafe...oh no!

$10 pays off $132.
This is a poor payoff for the bet. If there were no transaction cost/bookmaker spread/rake/ . . . whatever you call it . . . then you would be getting a $160 payoff for the $10 bet. $132 seems like too much less than $160 to me.
A good way to look at it is you are making a 16:1 bet on $8.25 and paying the bookmaker $1.75. A 21% fee (1.75/8.25=.2121) is pretty high if you ask me. Your edge would need to be awfully high in order to overcome this.
When you make a normal bet, don't you put in $11 and get $20 back if your team beats the spread? That is much more reasonable.
Okay, maybe the $1.75 isn't that bad. If the four games were at different times and you tried to replicate this yourself by doing the bets back-to-back and just letting the money ride, you would pay transaction costs 4 times and only have $109 for your $10 investment. In either case, I think your edge would have to be pretty big to beat the transaction costs.

Cincy, New Orleans, and Seattle are strong plays. Vince Young and Tennessee scare me, but the Colts are more than capable of beating the Titans by 8-14 points.
College is tough this week. Ohio State -3 or 4 is very tempting. You'd also think USC and Illinois would cover. Usually there's 1 or 2 easy college spreads but I'm not seeing those this week.
I wish I had money to bet...just so I could use words like "parlay","teasers", and "Action-Reverse".
I wish I didn't work for an NCAA school so I could bet....oh the days of betting...

The Flathead 7 is the Flagship of Zeagle's regulator line:
The wide-open internal structure allows for direct and unrestricted airflow through the 1st stage, giving very low breathing resistance, even at great depths and high demands
The Flathead 7 1st stage has a dry-sealed spring chamber (to stop freezing at water temperatures below 40 degrees F)
All delicate parts of the 1st stage including the main spring are sealed behind the clear hydrostatic diaphragm away from the effects of salt or other contaminants in the water, making it environmentally sealed.
It is very low in profile, barely extending above the tank valve, and places the low pressure hoses directly out to the sides, in a pattern preferred by many divers
Zeagle's conical precision high-pressure valve provides much greater reliability and service life compared to conventional designs, while improving responsiveness and performance at all breathing rates
Work of breathing at heavy* demand:
0.72 Joule/Liter
*198 (60M) depth, 750 psi inlet, 62.5 RMV (liters per minute respiratory volume)

Seems like Kale is the Marsha Brady of the food world with everyone chanting "Ka-le, Ka-le, Ka-le"! Just like Marsha, the obsession with it is completely justified. Kale has extraordinary nutrient value, is heartily available in the winter months, and is said to defend against cancer and high cholesterol. Why not take this super food for a spin? Here is a delicious salad recipe that takes advantage of winter produce.
Delicious grapefruit is very low in calories, high in fiber, and an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin-C.

Niguel Williams: I tested the metallic silver HJC RPHA Max modular helmet, which really pops in the sun, and was very pleased.
Operationally, the helmet worked great. The internal sun shield opens and closes easily even with thick gloves via a large sliding lever. The shield lifting mechanism opens from the center. The chin bar latch is also in the center, and it's slick and easy.
The fit is more for a round head vs. a long oval. In most popular brand helmets, I'm a XXL, but the RPHA XL was just slightly snug when new and broke in comfortably. The removable cheek pads can tailor the fit, and the liner breaks in quickly. The liner and neck roll have a comfortable satin feel.
The liner doesn't cover the entire EPS. However, this may add to the helmet's incredible venting quality. There are only two vents: one on the top and one on the chin bar (and two small extractor vents) but they move tons of air; a torrent flows through this helmet.
The faceshield removes easily. The release trigger looks light in construction, but is durable in use. The factory-installed faceshield is not fog-proof but can be "cracked" slightly to aid with that.
The sun shade does not cut into your nose (the bottom can occasionally be in your field of view depending on head angle). The eye port is wide and the screen is clear; head checks are no problem.
The RPHA Max is also lightweight and very quiet. There's a chin skirt that aids in the quietness and keeps the chill out. It doesn't buffet at high speeds.
There's not much to dislike about this helmet. A stock fog-proof visor would be nice. It does come with a pinlock system, but the average rider is not going to use it. A very minor complaint is the top vent switch is small and doesn't give good feel through thick gloves. The only real defect I experienced, although it didn't affect performance, was the chin vent internals shifted slightly after a few days of normal usage—something covered by the ample five-year warranty.
The only reason to avoid this helmet is if you want graphics. (Although it's probably safe to assume that few in the market for a modular are interested in flashy graphics.)
This is a quiet, light modular with good attention to detail, phenomenal venting and comfort equal to more expensive helmets. It's a great all-around helmet for street riders.

Thanks to DtL readers Maja, Meri + Tessa for tipping me off to the latest Anando sighting!
After spending a single day practicing together at Palma Racket Club, the stalkeratti spotted a shawled Ana Ivanovic dropping off boytoy Fernando Verdasco at the Mallorca airport for his trip to Salou, Spain where he vamped his way through a Port Aventuras Park sponsor event.
The pair will reconnect in Queensland for the holidays and both will compete at the Brisbane International beginning January 4.
Awww Anando. Puppy love can make anyone get smiley + smoochy and they're CLEARLY no exception. Plus, they're actually not wearing matching outfits this time and that's good news. Nando in a shawl isn't exactly the sexiest image - I'll take him in those jeans he's already wearing (and well I might add).
Do ya think it's getting serious? Me thinks so!

Rich maybe you wanna check out this pics too
Damn, these two are just too precious. Sooo jealous. :)ReplyDelete
Do you guys thinks it's getting serious? It seems to be...they are spending tons of time together as well as the holidays which is kinda serious I think.ReplyDelete
But, I hope that they're really practicing too. It doesn't look like it though. I've seen them laughing, talking, and sitting but not ACTUALLY hitting a single ball.
I guess we'll see once the season begins!
Whoa, that shawl is TRAGIC! It looks like what I used to wear when I was an altar girl.ReplyDelete
If they are getting serious, they still look a little awkward with each other. Cute-awkward. Maybe it's the paparazzi, though.
ff: OMG so you're a recovering catholic? these images seems completely inappropriate filtered through your altar girl comment! ahhhhh - make it stop!!ReplyDelete
it's been about 4 months so they're still getting to know each other and she's pretty inexperienced, the complete opposite of nando from what i hear and what readers have mentioned.
the paps can't make them awkward - it's a natural gift!
they are actually practicing here
@Ivy: LOL these pics are just too cute! very lovey-dovey but kinda awkward that she's always giggling... can't really imagine them having some sexy-timeReplyDelete
And is it just me or does Ana seem to get skinnier? her legs look pretty slim in those pics.
ivy: okay they're on the court, they're tossing balls to each other, they're giggling - where's the actual hitting of the fuzzy yellow ball?!!ReplyDelete
maja: i don't know - she looks in pretty good shape to me here. she's def very shy with boys. what about the last pic with him grabbing and kissing her? kinda hotttt.
Ah, if only I could be happy for other couples... but being all bitter about love it ain't so easy. LOLReplyDelete
By the way, why is Ana wearing a duffel bag?!
I just love this period of year considering tennis, awaiting of the new season and my fav Aussie Open, plus isn't it great to be entartained a bit by these two when there's no action on court, and everyone is in some preparation, that totally brought some newness into all tennis scene??I am starting to love Ana more!She was dull to me before, kinda,sooo innocent, and now well go Ana!And I love seeing them together, and all new Ana is appearing here!Just waiting for Masha to find bf, and then we're talking!Boy, are those Nando-like guys some real piece of work?He's teaching some love!:))ReplyDelete

She is actually picking him up, not dropping him at the airport. He went back to Mallorca after his gig at Port Aventura, december 3rd, and they practiced together the 2 following days. After that Fernando went from Mallorca to Ferrol to play the Spanish Masters, and brought Ana with him. There he said he had practiced just the last 2 days, that are the pictures we see in the link that has been posted here.ReplyDelete

Lightweight Lift-Off Hood - El Cheapo, Part 5Written by on April 1, 2000 A lightweight lift-off hood: Everyone's got one, right?

A lightweight lift-off hood: Everyone's got one, right? They're all over the NMCA races, and Harwood's 4-inch-cowl version made our El Camino look faster than it can live up to while heaving a hefty 75 pounds off the nose of the car as compared to the stock slab. That makes it worth it. But to tell you the truth, installing the hood was a bigger pain than we expected, mostly because we held it down with 10 Dzus quarter-turn fasteners instead of hood pins. The installation is complicated, but the old four-pin method lets the hood bow drastically at dragstrip speeds.Another hassle with the lift-off design is having to remove the hood to check the oil, but working on the engine without the hood and hinges in the way is a big plus.
There are pros and cons, but this time we selected a lift-off. The installation gave us the chance to feel like we knew what we were doing, play with Dzus buttons, look like race-car guys, and best of all, show you how it's done. Don't know about you, but we've never seen this in a magazine before. The installation will vary a bit depending on the design of the car, but our info will get you in the ballpark and will apply directly to any '70-'72 Chevelle or Elco.
If the procedure looks like a bit more than you can handle, sweat not. Harwood has hoods that bolt to the stock hinges too. They're slightly heavier and more expensive (by about $180), but far easier to install and live with day to day. Either way, the finish on Harwood products has always impressed us--just look at this month's cover to see how smooth the hood looks after paint.

Liberate the Harwood hood from its box, and you'll be shocked at how light it is--around 16 pounds and easily manageable by one person. Our first advice is to do all the fitment work on the hood long before you get either it or the car painted. We choked on that score and had both the car and the underside of the hood painted before we realized that was a bad idea. Begin by dropping the hood in place and checking the fit. It won't be perfect at first.The Harwood instructions indicate that the 3/4-inch flange at the perimeter of the hood is for protection during shipping and that it needs to be cut back to 1/4 inch. We judiciously trimmed the fiberglass a bit at a time while continually trial-fitting the hood--better to cut four times than ruin the hood with one wrong slice. Ultimately, we trimmed the entire edge down to no more than an 1/8-inch lip except at the very front, where it's critical that the body edges line up for the car to look right. We made those cuts once the installation was nearly complete. The hood can be trimmed with a saber saw, but we found an air- powered cutoff wheel to be the perfect tool for the job. Don't be as stupid as us: Wear a respirator, gloves, and eye protection.To trim the edges straight, we were able to handhold a marker in a steady position and scribe a guideline down the flange using the smooth topside of the hood as our index. You could also use masking tape to make the line.As we trimmed the hood edges to fit, we worked first one side, then the other, to make sure the hood would be centered when at rest between the fenders. Once we'd trimmed as far as we could go (a small flange must be left to give the hood some rigidity), the hood was still a hair too wide to fit between the fenders. We used some 200-grit sandpaper on a block to shave the edges down by about 1/16 inch per side. The 'glass is very easy to sand. Even so, we ended up having to readjust the fenders outboard a tiny bit to get the hood to fit smoothly between them.Rather than old-school hood pins, our glass hood will be held down with 10 Dzus-brand, quarter-turn, self-ejecting fasteners: three along each side, two in front, and two in back. Harwood sells a complete kit that includes brackets (arrow), Dzus fasteners and springs, and rivets.We decided where along the edge of the hood the brackets would go, marked the center location with masking tape, and measured such that the very top of the bracket was about 1/8-inch lower than the top of the fender. Since the hood is about 1/8-inch thick, this placed the hood-supporting surface of the Dzus bracket in contact with the underside of the hood in the correct position to hold it nicely in line with the fender. We didn't drill the hole at 1/8-inch below the fender, but measured the distance to the three mounting holes in the bracket.A good smack on the punch with a hammer marked the drill spot, then we held the bracket in position and measured again to make sure we'd drill in the right place. Hours were spent checking, double-checking, and triple-checking to make sure we didn't riddle the car with misplaced, hogged-out, ugly holes.After drilling the first hole, we used the end of a rivet to hold the bracket in position while marking the second and third holes. It's easier than measuring and more of a sure thing. Once the drilling was done, we still left the brackets loose, holding them in place just by slipping the rivet heads into the mounting holes.
Here's why: The next step is to drop the hood in place, and make sure it rests evenly in place. It won't fit well if the fiberglass flange is hitting the Dzus brackets or any other underhood obstacles. Since our hood hit all the brackets, we used the masking tape as a guide to know where to mark the hood for grinding.The cutoff wheel was too nasty for the small detail work needed for grinding clearance into the hood, but a sandpaper roll worked quickly and cleanly as we sanded the flange flush with the bottom of the hood at the bracket locations we had marked.After we were happy with the fit of the hood, and all the brackets seemed to be in the correct up-and-down position, we riveted the brackets in place. Our toolbox was devoid of a rivet gun, so we bought this way-bitchin' Stanley model with a head that pivots 360 degrees. Our buddies were jealous. Once we popped the first rivet, we found that the steel ones provided by Harwood have only a 1/8-inch reach, not enough to go through the two layers of sheetmetal on the flanges of our fenders. Another trip to the store got us some 1/4-inch-reach rivets, and we stepped up to stainless steel to prevent rusting.After riveting, we left the masking tape in place to show us where the center of the Dzus brackets were when the hood was in place. Holding the measuring tape in line with the masking tape, we measured 1-1/16 inches from the inner edge of the fender and made a mark on the hood. This is where the center of the hole in the Dzus bracket is--1-1/16 is the same as the distance from the mounting flange of the bracket to the center of the hole.Using the mark on the hood as a target, we drilled an 1/8-inch guide hole, then hogged it to 3/8 with a bigger bit. The 3/8-inch hole was big enough for us to inspect and make sure we'd succeeded in drilling the hole centered above the Dzus bracket underneath. If not, we were able to finesse the drill to the center while bringing the hole to a final size of 1/2 inch.The holes in the hood are for mounting the body of the quarter-turn fasteners, which are a bit tapered. Because of this, you're supposed to taper the hole with a 5/8-inch chamfer bit. We were able to get the job done by carving the fiberglass by hand with an 1-1/16-inch standard drill bit. Don't attach the fasteners to the hood yet--wait until the hood is painted.This is the spring that the fastener grabs onto to hold the hood in place. The springs come separate from the brackets so you can pop-rivet them into one of the four locations that's best for your application. You can tune the position of the slot in the fastener heads with the location of the spring. Be forewarned, though: We found out the hard way that the springs cannot be positioned such that the rivets are in line with the rivets used to hold the body of the fastener to the hood.
We began by placing Dzus brackets down each side of the hood. Once that was done, the hood could be held firmly in its final position for another fit check. As these side-by-side photos show, now was the time for us to mark and trim the flange around the base of the windshield and the back of the cowl. We cut the cowl roughly to shape, then finished it off by hand with sandpaper. The fiberglass is very soft and easy to sand, and we also smoothed all the cut edges around the hood so they would look good and not fray after painting.The step we feared most was the fabrication of brackets to hold the hood down at the front and rear. These are the most difficult to do because there is no place to attach the brackets provided by Harwood, but the front and rear fasteners are critical for holding down the hood at 100-plus speeds. We had to buy some steel and bash it into shape in the vise, and do some fancy drilling to make brackets that would work. The position of the holes in the hood also required some dead reckoning and a little luck. At the rear, we were able to measure an X and Y axis from the edge of the fender and the base of the windshield to locate the precise position of the head of the Dzus button. During all of this, we had to remember not to make any bracket hit the reinforcing rib underneath the Harwood hood.The last step before paint was to lock the hood down and trim the cosmetically critical front edge of the fender. This relied heavily on our ability to simply eyeball the right look, but we used masking tape to assure a straight cutline. We trimmed it with the cutoff wheel while the hood was mounted to the car, smoothed the edge with sandpaper, and did a pretty dang good job if we do say so ourselves. Since all the Dzus buttons were in place, we also drilled the 1/8-inch holes (using the body of each fastener as a guide) that will later be used to rivet them to the hood. Full race, huh? As with the rest of our El Camino, Gonzalez Auto Body handled the Hugger Orange paint. Owner Gus Gonzalez advised that fiberglass hoods should only be block-sanded by hand and not with a machine to prevent waviness in the soft material. Even so, Gus agreed that the Harwood finish was exceptionally nice. The last thing we had to do was clean out the holes we drilled for riveting the Dzus fasteners to the hood, then pop-rivet them in place using the aluminum-bodied rivets provided in the Harwood kit. It's important to use the aluminum ones because steel models will pull through the fiberglass. If you get the rivets mixed up, sort them out with a magnet (as you know, it won't stick to aluminum).

Putting the Fun in FOSS
I went to the State of the Map (SotM) and Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference in Denver, CO last week, where I was surrounded by geospatial users, developers, and architects. I had the opportunity to attend some workshops and learn about a slew of awesome projects — I'm itching to start incorporating many of these new tools and techniques into our solutions.
I was able to attend some of the workshops — "You've got Javascript in your backend" with Node.js and Polymaps was a great beginner workshop, introducing lightweight servers and client mapping libraries. I was amazed that a basic web server in node.js is only 5 lines of code. Equally amazing was seeing what capabilities Polymaps had when it weighted in at only 32K (minified) vs. OpenLayers at 1.2M (minified default build).
i2maps + pico
Some exciting visualization tools are coming out of the National Center for Geocomputation at the National University of Ireland, in the form of i2maps. While it's relatively immature (not much in the form of documentation), most the basic functionality builds off of OpenLayers. Since I've already learned the OpenLayers library, I has a short learning curve, and was able to get up to speed pretty quickly. Their library incorporates some awesome features like dynamically loading and evaluating rasters via canvas (this only works on modern browsers), and even agent-based modeling. I could have stayed in that workshop for a week.
A byproduct of the i2maps project is pico. Pico is a bridge between Python and Javascript, enabling you to call native Python methods directly from Javascript. It performs all the plumbing for you, allowing you to write a simple callback to handle your method's return value. It also takes care of converting Python objects into Javascript objects, allowing you to pass all sort of data back and forth (including rasters!).
Another new project from a contributor to the MapServer project is mod-geocache, a tile caching service as an Apache module. This skips a lot of overhead (no proxying, no interpreters, no CGI), and is very fast. In addition, the C implementation has excellent speed and performance. You can perform on the fly tile merging, quantization, and recompression. I'm excited about this module, and the promise of caching with an Apache server (looks like it has more features than mod_tile).
Geoserver's next release is also going to include some great features. The ones that really jumped out at me:
- Time and elevation filters — e.g. storm tracking, where you can limit the features by a time field.
- Styling SLDs in data units — e.g. "road is 5m wide", and changes dynamically with scale. This greatly simplifies scale-dependent renderers.
- Georeferencing of layers can be done in the admin interface.
- Layers can be view definitions — you don't have to roll your own views prior to creating the layer.
- Virtual Services — partition the data layers by workspace.
These aren't all the new features; take a look at the laundry list yourself, and prepare to be impressed.
Mapnik 2
I think the reason for calling it Mapnik2 is that it is literally twice as awesome as it was before. I learned about the new features in Mapnik2 in the lightning talks at SotM, and I think this was one of the few talks that made you feel like you were actually struck by lightning. I can't remember half the slides in the talk, but the supported formats, reprojection, styling, and speed improvements left me with my head spinning.

Seasonal Markets and Events
Brooklyn Flea
Saturday–Sunday, 10am–5pm, through November
Various locations
Brooklyn Flea began in April 2008 as a large outdoor vintage and locally made–crafts bazaar in a school playground in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. It has always had a strong food component, with vendors ready to sell you lunch while you shop or NYC-based purveyors of artisanal edibles for you to take home (salsa, mayonnaise, pickles, vegan "faux gras.")
The Flea has since expanded to two Brooklyn locations, plus a special food-only market in Williamsburg called Smorgasburg. New this year is the recently launched SmorgasBrewery, which features three or four regular Flea food vendors selling edibles to go along with the suds on offer in Brooklyn Brewery's tasting room.
Fort Greene Flea
Saturdays, 10am–5pm, through November
176 Lafayette St., Fort Greene, Brooklyn
The flagship and original Brooklyn Flea takes place outdoors in the school yard of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. It's easily accessible by 11 subway lines and five bus routes.
Williamsburg Flea
Sundays, 10am–5pm, through November
27 N. 6th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The Williamsburg Flea offers the same panoply of food, crafts and secondhand goods as the Fort Greene Flea—with a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline.
Saturdays, 11am–6pm, through November
27 N. 6th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn
In the same location as the Williamsburg Flea, Smorgasburg rounds up 75 to 100 vendors from NYC and the surrounding region, who sell prepared and packaged foods, utensils and housewares. Accessible by the East River Ferry, subway and bus.
Various locations
New York City's Greenmarket system comprises 53 farmers' markets throughout the five boroughs, many of which are open year-round. These urban stalls offer the simple goodness of whole fresh foods as well as prepared artisanal products like wasabi pickles, flavored bitters and homemade chutneys. And locavores can rest assured knowing that all stands operate under a strict set of guidelines to ensure full traceability of the production process. No goods come from farther than 120 miles south, 170 miles east and west and 250 miles north of New York City. Here, we highlight the best of NYC's Greenmarkets, but you can find one near you at grownyc.org.
Hester Street Fair
Saturdays, 10am–6pm, April 27–October 26
Essex and Hester Streets, Lower East Side, Manhattan
The Hester Street Fair celebrates the culture and history of Manhattan's Lower East Side at what was the site of the busiest outdoor market in the City at the turn of the 20th century. The weekly fair brings together prepared- and packaged-food purveyors, including past participants such as Luke's Lobster, Pies 'n' Thighs, and Ample Hills Creamery. Seward Park, which adjoins the fair, provides a shady green space to relax while you eat.
LIC Flea & Food
Saturday–Sunday, 10am–6pm, April–December
5-25 46th Avenue, Long Island City, Queens
The LIC Flea & Food brings together vendors selling vintage clothes, antiques, gifts, food and more. This LIC market offers both packaged and prepared food with a focus on Queens-based vendors. Seating is limited within the lot that houses the LIC Flea, but take your food to go and find ample seating along the path that abuts the 11th Street Basin and enjoy the spectacular views of Manhattan across the East River.
Queens County Market Edible Marketplace
Various locations
A new market that aims to make Queens a destination for foodies from all over, the Queens County Market Edible Marketplace is a pop-up food festival with a rotating location. The market gathers together Queens' ethnic, artisanal and handcrafted food chefs, bakers and vendors, who whip up everything from luxe fruit-and-nut bars to bacon-fat popcorn. Sign up for the market's newsletter to find out the location of their next event.
Red Hook Food Vendors
Saturday–Sunday, 9am–9pm, through October
Bay and Clinton Streets, Red Hook, Brooklyn
For decades Brooklyn's various Latino communities have been gathering on weekends to play soccer at the ball fields in Red Hook. Around them sprung up a sort of pan-American outdoor food court, where you'll find authentic street food representing the cuisines of Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico and more. Although the vendors have been selling their fare here since 1974, it wasn't until the 2000s that they gained wider attention, drawing food-lovers from across the City for their inexpensive dishes.

|Fisbeck earns MMC designation
|Written by Chris Lee
Holyoke Deputy City Clerk/Treasurer Tillie Fisbeck recently was notified she earned the prestigious Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) designation from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC).
"I'm happy and excited about it," Fisbeck said. "It feels great."
MMC is one of the two professional designations granted by IIMC. To qualify for entrance into the Master Municipal Academy (MMCA), which prepares participants for achieving the MMC status, one must have earned the Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) designation.
Fisbeck earned CMC designation in November 2000.
To earn the CMC designation, a Municipal Clerk must attend extensive education programs. The designation also requires pertinent experience in a municipality. The program prepares the participants to meet the challenges of the complex role of the Municipal Clerk by providing them with quality education in partnership with 47 institutions of higher learning.
Fisbeck said part of the MMC process was to get involved within IIMC. She served a two-year term on the Board of Directors and sat on several committees including the scholarship, membership and awards committees.
The MMCA is an advanced continuing education program that prepares participants to perform more complex municipal duties. The program has an extensive and rigorous educational component, a professional and social contributions component and a commitment to lifelong learning.
Academy members must demonstrate they have actively pursued educational and professional activities and have remained informed of current sociopolitical, cultural and economic issues that affect local governments and municipalities.
Fisbeck began in 1994 as the Deputy Clerk/Treasurer in Holyoke. She plans on continuing her deep involvement within the IIMC and plans to continue participating in the educational programs.
She said there aren't many MMC designations in Colorado. "It's a great accomplishment," she added.
Founded in 1947, IIMC is a professional association with more than 10,000 members in the U.S., Canada and 15 other countries. IIMC's primary goal is to actively promote the continuing education and professional development of municipal clerks through extensive education programs, certification, recertification, publications, networking, annual conferences and research.
IIMC also engages in municipal research administration, enhances critical professional skill development and fosters a spirit of mutual assistance and good fellowship among municipal clerks around the globe. IIMC is governed by a 26-member Board of Directors.

There are some words in German which sound as if they were English foreign words, but have a completely different meaning in English.
Handy - mobile phone
Homeoffice - Working from Home
This is different from false friends, because they are new recently created words and in the case of Handy many Germans think that it is just English.
Proposals for tags and links to lists of such words are welcome as well.
BTW: the German Homeoffice has the synonyms Telearbeit and Heimarbeit.

Three school districts in the east have been awarded a grant to help get students ready for college.
Pamlico County, Edenton-Chowan and Lenoir County school districts have been awarded a gaining early awareness and readiness for undergraduate programs grant, also known as GEAR-UP, for the up coming school year.
The grant will allow the schools to hire two positions, a GEAR-UP coordinator who will work with the students and a parent community liaison who will help parents in the process of getting students ready for college.
Dr. Wanda Dawson, superintendent of the Pamlico County School District says this grant will start with their seventh grade students in the upcoming school year and they will add a higher grade level to the program each year for the next seven. Dr. Dawson says, "It's going to be fantastic for this community. It's going to be able to give our parents another opportunity to seek out resources to help their children to obtain a college education."
Dr. Dawson says the district's long term goal is to have 100% of their graduates attend a two or four year school. In 2012, 61% of the graduating class enrolled in a 2 or 4 year school.

Mounting an oil pump outside the engine (similar to a dry sump setup), allows the use of a full-length windage tray for less windage and more power! An External Oil Pump also eliminates torsional stress on the camshaft, as well as spark scatter and resultant horsepower loss caused by an internal pump.
