Muharram (Islamic New Year)
Muharram (Arabic: المحرّم) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year. Since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, Muharram moves from year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar.
Muharram is derived from the word harām, meaning "sinful". It is held to be the most sacred of all the months, excluding Ramadan. Some Muslims fast during these days. The tenth day of Muharram is the Day of Ashura, which to Shia Muslims is part of the Mourning of Muharram.
Azadari procession carried out by Shiite Muslims in Indian city of Hardoi on the Day of Ashura.
Some Muslims fast during this day, because it is recorded in the hadith[citation needed] that Musa (Moses) and his people obtained a victory over the Egyptian Pharaoh on the 10th day of Muharram; accordingly Muhammad asked Muslims to fast on this day that is Ashura and on a day before that is 9th.
Fasting differs among the Muslim groupings; mainstream Shia Muslims stop eating and drinking during sunlight hours and do not eat until late afternoon. Sunni Muslims also fast during Muharram for the first ten days of Muharram, or just the tenth day, or on both the ninth and tenth days; the exact term depends on the individual. Shia Muslims do so to replicate the sufferings of Hussein ibn Ali on the Day of Ashura.

I like them, but they have some serious design flaws and poor QC, so from a practical standpoint I have to say the ones that I got are junk.
I got the first pair, laced them up and a speedlace eyelet popped out. The rivets for the eyelets weren't fully spread and one slipped out.
Got a second pair, the eyelets held, but all of the rivets were questionable as to whether they would hold, so I used a center punch on all of them.
Longer term, the upper eyelet design puts all of the stress on a small spot on the leather, so they will rip through at some point. I now wear them around the yard, etc, but I really don't expect them to make it to hunting season next year, especially if they get wet a few more times, but we'll see.
The eyelets Belleville normally uses crimps onto the leather itself, eliminating the stress point issue.
In addition, they are advertised as being waterproof, but they aren't.
The basic design of the boots is actually really good, after a short break-in they are really comfortable, I like wearing the, and they have a good tread design.
If Belleville fixes the eyelets and the waterproofing, they'd be great boots.
As I'm sure many of the military guys here relate to, I've had multiple pairs of Belleville boots, most of which have had the soles worn flat while the rest of the boot still has some life left in it. So, this isn't typical of the manufacturer, it's just cutting corners and poor QC on this particular design.

Philadelphia Presbyterian working to increase organ donation awareness
An organ donation can save a life. Sometimes, it is the only thing that can, and knowing as much as possible about how the organ donation system works could help save many lives.
According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, 118,211 people are waiting for an organ, 18 people will die each day waiting for an organ, and a single organ donor could save as many as eight lives.
Spurred by a member of the congregation who needs an organ transplant and his family, Philadelphia Presbyterian has been actively promoting organ donation awareness.
Doctors discovered a tumor in Philadelphia Presbyterian member Tom Watson's liver last December, and since mid-February, Tom has been on the list for a new liver, which is the most-needed organ transplant in the U.S., with 96,249 people on the waiting list.
"It's definitely the support to know that people are surrounding us and trying to take this opportunity to move forward and help people in the future so that there are more people aware of the good things about being an organ donor," said Mardy Watson, about what the program has done for her and her husband.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Golden State Warriors will try for a third straight
win on Saturday night when they welcome the Utah Jazz to Oracle Arena.
Golden State has knocked off the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder on
this recent homestand. The win against the Thunder was spectacular as Andre
Iguodala drained a fade away jumper as time expired for the 116-115 victory.
"They overplayed him. He has a high basketball IQ. He read it, reacted, stayed
patient, got the catch and made an incredible shot," head coach Mark Jackson
said of Iguodala's shot. "Just a big win for my guys."
Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 27 points on 6-for-9 3-point shooting.
Stephen Curry added 22 points and David Lee chipped in with 20. Iguodala
finished with 14 points and nine assists and Harrison Barnes netted 16 off the
The Warriors nearly squandered a nine-point lead after three quarters, but
hung on for the impressive victory.
"That's a team that we have a lot of respect for. That's a team that will have
a lot of success moving forward in this season and a team that is going to
have to be dealt with come playoff time," Jackson said of the Thunder. "We
know who we are. We are a confident basketball team that believes that when we
play the right way, when we defend, when we execute offensively we are going
to win ball games."
After securing their first victory of the season against the New Orleans
Pelicans on Wednesday, the Jazz fell at home to the San Antonio Spurs Friday,
The Jazz built a 13-point lead after the first quarter and were five ahead at
the half. Utah was seven clear after three quarters, but got dusted in the
fourth to the tune of 31-15.
"I thought for the most part we stuck to the game plan," said Jazz head coach
Tyrone Corbin. "But you saw their experience. That's a good team over there.
They know what to do to close a game out."
The Jazz struggled from the field, shooting 38.5 percent.
All five starters scored in double figures, led by a monster game from Derrick
Favors. He finished with 20 points and 18 rebounds.
Gordon Hayward (15), Richard Jefferson (14), Alec Burks (12) and Enes Kanter
(10) rounded out the scoring for the Jazz. The Utah bench managed a meager
eight points.
The Jazz won two of three meetings between the two teams last season and two
of the last three against Golden State in Oracle Arena.

Boise, ID (Sports Network) - After Utah State's last season ended with a
crushing defeat in Boise, Kerwyn Williams refused to let it happen again.
The senior running back rushed for 229 yards on 18 carries and scored three
fourth-quarter touchdowns to push the No. 18 Aggies past the Toledo Rockets
with a 41-15 victory in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
With the win, the Aggies (11-2) claimed their first bowl victory in 19 years
to put the finishing touches on the most successful season in school history.
Chuckie Keeton added 92 yards rushing and a score on nine carries to go with
an efficient passing day for Utah State. He completed 21-of-31 throws for 227
yards, while Matt Austin hauled in a team-leading six passes for 76 yards to
help the Aggies to their seventh straight victory.
The Rockets (9-4) struggled offensively most of the day and were denied a
chance at their first 10-win season in over a decade. Senior Austin Dantin got
the start at quarterback, but was unable to lead Toledo to a touchdown on any
of his offensive possessions.
Regular signal-caller Terrance Owens, who was battling an ankle injury,
entered in the fourth quarter but was also unable to get Toledo into the end
Dantin finished 13-of-22 for 133 yards with two interceptions, while Owens
completed just 6-of-17 throws for 30 yards.
Bernard Reedy scored Toledo's only touchdown on a kick return late in the
fourth quarter. He had a game-high seven catches for 64 yards and also led the
Rockets' rushing attack with 50 yards on nine attempts.

Hi everyone
We've been using the Zimbra AJAX UI in anger for the past few weeks and despite running into a few things that already have bugs filed, there's one thing I've been finding a bit irritating.
It might just be me, but when typing into the To/CC/BCC boxes, it seems like the auto-complete list is only based on the text that comes before the @ symbol.
So if I start typing a domain name: oursuppliersdomain.com then I get no matches
Is that correct?
Are there any plans to change that behaviour?
That behaviour is not what I was expecting from these particular auto-complete boxes and I expect other users would find that too.
Also the auto-complete seems to include contacts that have been moved to trash. Is that correct?
Even when I've removed those contacts from the trash, they still appear in the auto-complete list
Any comments/suggestions/existing bug reports?
Cheers, B

I'm about to begin planning an upgrade to ZCS7 for this fall, but before we make the switch I'm trying to find a trainer that can aid my users in transitioning to the new version.
Does anyone know of any group or individual who has a ZCS7 training program that I might be able to contract to run a 1-2 day onsite training?
While I'm aware that the differences are subtle between the versions from an end user perspective, the culture of our organization adapts best to these kind of changes when someone from the outside comes in to aid the transition.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tire & Tube Accessories in stock than that.View Similar Products
Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Tape 25mm/5m Rim Tape $0.00
We're huge proponents of running a tubeless tire system. That's no secret. However, it might not be apparent how we sometimes spend a lot of time preparing our customer's bikes for tubeless. Anything that could save us time or make conversions easier would be a godsend. Caffelatex Tubeless Rim Tape is a recent find and it saves us time and trouble.
In the past, we'd apply a layer of fiberglass strapping tape to our regular rims to cover the spoke holes, then stretch on a second layer of yellow sealing tape to convert them to tubeless. The Caffelatex Rim Tape does the work of both layers of the other system as it has the fiberglass reinforcement built-in. All you'll need to seal up a regular rim for tubeless is one layer of this stuff, overlapping a bit at the joint opposite the valve hole.
One 5 meter roll of Caffelatex Tubeless Rim Tape is enough to convert two wheels up to 29 inches for tubeless use. Choose between the Race -21mm kit that works for rims from 21 - 25mm wide or the HD - 25mm kit that works for rims from 25 - 28mm wide.
- Race: for rims with external section from 22 to 25 mm
- Heavy-Duty: for rims with external section from 25 to 28 mm

Erick Rowan turns heel
On the latest episode of Smackdown, Erick Rowan turned heel by attacking Fandango after he lost a match to Luke Harper. The heel turn was set up by a false stare down between the two former Wyatt Family members. The reason for the move is because management really had nothing for Rowan to do. Harper had a little momentum, but it wasn't anything major. The decision to put them back together should provide depth to the tag team division.

Ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp and choose from a variety of trails (maps available from Guest Services). Climb to the weathered buttresses atop Squaw Peak, visit the historic Watson Monument at Emigrant Peak, or meander through the meadows covered with wildflowers, and enjoy the panoramic views from Squaw Valley's spacious upper mountain.
Hiking Trails
Easy To Moderate
- Free Guided Hikes (approximately 1.5 miles)
Squaw Valley's free guided hikes on the 1.5 mile High Camp Interpretive Trail leaves daily from High Camp. Hikes depart High Camp at 11:30am and 2:30pm from June 20-August 30 & May 23-24, 30-31; June 6-7, 13-14. All hikes are weather and conditions permitting. Call 800-4030-0206 for more information.
- High Camp Loop (approximately 1.23 miles)
This gentle trail begins at High Camp, traverses the ridge to the top of the Links Chairlift. Hikers then loop down through the upper mountain's spacious open bowls to High Camp. During the winter this area serves as Squaw Valley's beginner ski and snowboard slopes.
- High Camp to the top of the Gold Coast Chairlift (approximately .92 mile)
Follow the High Camp Loop trail past the Links chairlift and continue until you reach the Gold Coast lift. This trail offers views of Lake Tahoe, the surrounding mountains and the meadows below.
- Trollstigen (approximately .6 mile)
This gentle trail traverses the base of Olympic Valley from the Resort at Squaw Creek to the Village at Squaw Valley. The trail meanders in and out of the trees just above the valley floor. Enjoy spectacular views of the meadow and surrounding peaks.
Moderate to Difficult
- High Camp to the top of the Emigrant Chairlift (approximately 1.38 miles, 680' elevation gain)
This trail offers a stunning 360 degree view of Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains from the top. The historic Watson Monument is located near the top of the chairlift.
- High Camp to the top of Squaw Peak (approximately 2 miles, 844' elevation gain)
Follow the trail from High Camp, past the Gold Coast lift and continue up to the top of the Palisades for a view of the Granite Chief Wilderness and Squaw Valley below.
- High Camp to Shirley Lake & down Shirley Canyon (approximately 4 miles, 2000' elevation loss)
This is a great half day hike through a mountain canyon that passes by waterfalls and spectacular granite boulders. Hikers begin on either the Shirley Lake trail (a dirt road) or the Solitude trail (a narrower single track trail). Once the trails meet and you reach Shirley Lake, hikers can either hike back up to High Camp and ride the Aerial Tram down for free or hike down the canyon. Please Note: This trail may sometimes be hard to follow, so remember the general rule is to keep the creek on your left side and follow it down until you arrive at the base of the mountain. There are also some steep sections to negotiate through the granite so hiking boots are strongly recommended.
- Thunder Mountain Trail (approximately 3.2 miles, 2000' elevation gain/loss)
The Thunder Mountain Trail is the perfect hike to explore Squaw Valley from the base to High Camp. Hikers can start their adventure at the bottom of the KT-22 lift. From here you will walk towards the very wide bridge, which is where the route begins. The trail is clearly indicated by blue markings. Continue on the trail winding up the mountain. Your final destination will be just below the paintball fields at High Camp. PLEASE NOTE that the Thunder Mountain Trail passes over the summer construction access road. Please be aware of vehicle and heavy machinery traffic. Do not continue on the summer construction access road as it is closed for hiking.
- World Cup Trail (approximately .75 miles, 600' elevation gain)
Use this trail to access the national historic and scenic designated Western States Trail, which stretches from Salt Lake City, Utah to Sacramento, California.

Hike With Care
Squaw Valley offers guests many excellent hiking options for a fun day on the mountain. Following are some tips and a few rules to ensure that you have an enjoyable mountain experience.
- Hiking not permitted on the summer construction ride. Please be mindful of all posted signage.
- Please respect Squaw Valley's beautiful natural environment by observing all signs and staying on designated trails and roads. Do not cut switchbacks. Stay out of any construction or roped off areas.
- Wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots. Many of the mountain trails traverse rugged terrain.
- Carry along plenty of water (never drink directly from a stream) and a snack or energy bar.
- Squaw's mountain environment is prone to sudden weather and temperature changes so please carry adequate clothing.
- To prevent sunburn always use sunscreen and wear a hat and sunglasses for protection from the high altitude rays.
- In case of an emergency, dial 0 from a phone at the base of our lifts or have a Squaw Valley team member contact an EMT.
- Please do not hike alone. Outdoor adventures are fun for the family, but hiking is only a group activity.
- While hiking please keep an eye out for Squaw Valley maintenance vehicles and mountain equipment working on resort lifts and facilities.
- Please stay off chairlifts and towers. During our summer maintenance, lifts may be started without warning.
- Seek shelter during thunderstorms. Stay off ridge tops and away from tall trees, lift towers, and large rock outcroppings, as they can attract lightning strikes.
- Lightning travels at the speed of light. If lightning is in the area, ALL Tram operations will be suspended until lightning clears. See our lightning safety guide.
- No smoking, please. The fire danger in this area is very high during the summer.
You are welcome to bring your dog with you on your hike at Squaw Valley. Please be sure to bring a leash as all dogs must be leashed while riding in the Aerial Tram and inside any buildings or facilities. There is no charge for dogs on the Aerial Tram. Once at High Camp, your dog is welcome on the hiking trails, however, dogs are not permitted at the roller skating rink and pool, nor in any restaurants. We ask that you use your best judgment in leashing them on the trails.
Keeping Things Green
Squaw Valley is devoted to improving erosion control, revegetation (incorporating the use of natural grasses and wildflowers) and the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP's) for construction projects.
We recognize the importance of stewardship in managing the forest and vegetation that support ecosystems and allow for public recreation opportunities. As you explore the far reaches of Squaw Valley's mountains and valleys you might notice areas that are roped off or that appear to have been freshly seeded or planted. These are examples of efforts to improve the mountain's natural vegetation, riparian areas and wetlands, all of which contribute positively to water quality. The Valley's forested and revegetated land absorbs rain, refills underground aquifers, cleanses water, slows winter runoff, reduces flooding, and overall, sustains watershed stability and resilience.
Please respect our natural environment and avoid disturbing these areas. Have a great day on the mountain!

MCSO seeks clues in death
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
OCALA -- The Marion County Sheriff's Office is investigating what it terms as the suspicious death of an elderly man and has released images of the man's jewelry.
By releasing the images, detectives hope someone might be able to identify the items, which may have been stolen from the victim's home at the time of his death.
The three pieces of jewelry are rings, officials said. One of the rings is in the shape of a horseshoe, another is a square-shaped diamond, and the third is white with a diamond.
The deceased has been identified as Daniel Nieves, 88, who was found dead on Jan. 30 at 1 Bahia Lane in the Silver Springs Shores, where he lived.
Authorities are not releasing the cause or circumstances surrounding Nieves' death.
Anyone who has information about Nieves' death could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 and can call Crime Stoppers at 368-7867 or Detective Erik Dice at 368-3545.

I've been reading and searching for days and do not grasp how to resolve this issue. DNS is obviously something I need to study up on.
I am moving a Zimbra server to a new datacenter where it will be behind a firewall for the first time.
When I moved this server to the new datacenter and reconfigured for the new IPs, everything 'seemed' to work:
All mail was received.
Mail could be sent out.
All web interfaces functioned, mail and admin.
The problem was that mail was received into the queue, but it would NOT deliver to the mailboxes. Research indicated that being behind a firewall now the mail server needed a local DNS server that would resolve the names to the local subnet IP. They said to add an A record and PTR for the mail server. There is a Microsoft DNS server on the subnet.
The PTR records were easy and work fine. However I am not grasping something in getting the A record entries right.
Zimbra Hostname: mail.myserver.com
The DNS server is: localdns.net
If I add an A record of mail.myserver.com pointing to 10.xx.xx.30, it becomes mail.myserver.com.localdns.net.
Running "host mail.myserver.com" yields the public IP, not the local subnet IP.
Running "nslookup mail.myserver.com" from inside a Windows server on the same subnet returns the proper local subnet IP of 10.xx.xx.30.
Modified resolve.conf to: nameserver 10.xx.xx.56 (the MS DNS Server)
Any help appreciated.

Reviews & Community
Is this 2.0 120tpi version the TNT tubeless variety?
is this a wire bead or folding? is this the 2.2 or 2.0 (image shows 2.2) the weight listed as 750 which is not the correct weight for 2.0 folding 29" AKA?
All that are left are the 2.0, there were 2.2 for sale at one point and that is why the picture shows the 2.2. The weights listed is manufacturer given, we do weigh some of our products and list as actual weight but have not on these tires.
Great dry weather tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a huge fan of these tires and am on my second set. They hook up super well on the alpine and desert conditions I ride on in Utah. All the ramped knobs leads to a really predictable tire when you lean into turns and they're great on hardback, loose, and rock. As others have mentioned, running them at a lower PSI than normal because of the stiff casing is super helpful. However, if I lived in a place that got a lot of rain I would probably look for another option. Mud tires, these are not.
Wear is pretty standard. Not super quick, but not the longest life either. Ditto for weight. Not really an XC race tire in the strictest sense, but I've certainly raced them plenty.
And on sale, they're a steal!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased the AKA TNT from chainlove.com (backcountry sister site) and it was defective. The sidewall was low on one side and when mounted, the tire had a wobble.
Chainlove/backcountry told me there was nothing they could do, since it was past the 30 day return period.
Do not recommend buying this tire from Backcountry, as they do not stand behind what they sell.
If it was defective how did you not notice within the 30 days? Backcountry is the best around, slander if you will but have your ducks in a row before you do.
are they ust compatable?
Can I use this as a rear tire as well or...
Can I use this as a rear tire as well or would you recommend a different type tread.
Geax AKA 29" Mountain Bike Tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
900 miles on the front tire pictured (wish we could insert multiple images).
Texas summers can be dry and dusty with little or no moisture on the trails and I picked these up as something that would hopefully provide a better ride on loose dry stuff. For that reason alone, they seem to perform as intended, but push them and you'll find they have their limits. They seem to transition to moist and damp with unenthusiastic results. When pushed in the dry, loose stuff, they demonstrate predictable drift and slide, but give them roots and rocks and the results become less than desirable. Add some dampness or even slightly wet and they get unstable and can provide some adrenaline inducing moments. Personally, any application beyond the dry loose stuff exhibits unfavorable mannerisms that do not inspire confidence. On anything wet they will provoke adrenaline spikes and fear. Quick to find your butt on the ground will be the unexpected outcome.
One notable tip is I found these to be a little better under hard cornering with a slightly higher tire pressure than I normally run. These are not the TNT casing that I'm writing about here. They are a bit more robust than the straight AKA's I'm referring to here. Under 23 lbs. of pressure these tires had a propensity to roll the tire which yielded disagreeable handling that I can do without. Obviously, higher pressures eliminated this.
Some have stated they do well on dry concrete, but my observations don't agree. On dry concrete their limits are easily exceeded. They will break loose prematurely regardless of tire pressure. To be fair though, the induced drift remains fluid, predictable, and controllable. However, these are simply my opinions and others will possibly find these traits to be attributes. Two wheel drifts on hard pack or concrete is simply not a desirable characteristic for me personally.
UPDATE to my review above---------------------------------------
Gexa AKA - Long Term Review
I had removed this GEXA ATK tire a while back with 1218 miles on it at removal, ran another tire for a while and reinstalled it again (on the front). I just removed it again to retire it and it rolled 2,680 miles on all kinds of trails...rocks, roots, and just about everything except for mud. Some mud, but not much. While I still do not find this the most confidence inspiring tire as previously reviewed, I must say it took some abuse and offered a low-rolling resistance tire for quite a few miles. I was surprised it made it this long. I'm impressed, but not changing my review stars.
GEAX AKA 29er 29 x 2.2
The tires are great, 2.2 roll perfect for me, my only criticism is they are a little lose on wet streets, yet quite versatile performing extremely well in various terrains, sand, tails and gravel to shrubbery for those of us who enjoy crating a new path. The tire pictured have just over 300 miles on it, the rear tire shows a bit more wear but considering the amount of paved roads, curbs and the occasional pedestrian while traveling down stairs.. The tires are great all-around rubber to use while traversing all surfaces, Ive abused them and as of yet never let me down and one of the best all-around tires available on the market. Its earned my respect, will always remain my choice.
Geax AKA 2.0 & 2.2
Both are great all round tires. 2.2 sticks great in the corners and rolls well. The 2.0 rolls even faster and is 100 grams lighter. Both are high volume tires and with the TNT setup are almost flat proof. I don't even worry about the sidewalks. The only tire I use.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A Richmond development official says an archaeological review of the Washington Redskins summer training camp site hasn't found anything of consequence.
Richmond Economic Development Authority board chairman Rich Johnson tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/WxLES0 ) that excavation and grading work will begin after the review is completed this week.
The Redskins have agreed to hold their summer training camp in Richmond for the next eight years as part of an economic incentive deal struck with the state. The camp will be built on state-owned land behind the Science Museum of Virginia.
Construction is expected to cost up to $10 million.

Supply Chain Technology: There's power in the cloud
March 01, 2011
Not always fluffy
SaaS isn't all easy. What happens, for example, if the software vendor's system goes down, leaving the shipper and all of its constituents in a lurch? It can happen, says Adrian Gonzalez, SCM technology analyst and director of Logistics Viewpoints, and it's something to consider before making the move to a hosted SCM solution.
Gonzalez advises shippers to ask vendors the tough questions like, what happens if your system goes down? What type of backup and recovery methods are in place to ensure that this doesn't occur? What other risks do I need to be concerned about? "The key is to understand what types of systems and processes your vendor has in place," says Gonzalez, "and to take these risk-related issues into consideration when you're shopping around for a solution."
Geography is another challenge, particularly on the TMS side, where many of the SaaS solutions available on the market are U.S.- or North American-centric, says Gonzalez. The shipper who is seeking a single, enterprise-wide, TMS platform that can span multiple geographies, and company divisions should think twice before investing the time and energy in an on-demand TMS, says Gonzalez.
Data integrity issues should also be considered, says Pivar. "Security is one of the biggest things that's holding SaaS adoption back right now," he says. Of lesser concern, but still an issue, he adds, are performance issues.
"If you're relying on a hosting environment and accessing it through the web, that system had better be running in an optimal manner," says Pivar, who advises shippers to ask for service level guarantees that govern the vendor's use of proper hardware sizing, as well as the reliability and continuity of the application.
"Shippers want assurances about continuity and security," says Pivar, who expects SaaS' popularity to grow, despite those challenges. "Hosted solutions are definitely becoming more mainstream and we expect them to continue to expand," he says. "I also think that we're going to see other SCM applications playing in this space, such as warehouse management systems (WMS). There's no reason why a SaaS model wouldn't work in that arena."
Looking past the cloud
Like Pivar, Aimi also sees potential for SaaS in the WMS space, where the concept of running multiple DCs on a single system is fairly new. Because a warehouse exists within "four walls," says Aimi, the notion that a single, hosted system can handle the activities going on inside is still foreign for most shippers. However, he says the idea that multiple DCs can be connected at an enterprise level through a common system that doesn't require, say, four different reports from four different facilities, should be a major selling point for the hosted WMS.
And while SaaS still makes the most sense for systems that are inherently network-centric, says Gonzalez, the low upfront investment and faster implementation times afforded by such systems will help drive the hosted software movement across new categories, including WMS.
"If you had asked me a few years ago if SaaS made sense in WMS and ERP, I would have said not as much as it does in TMS and GTM," says Gonzalez. "However, we're now seeing some traction in other software areas due to the fact that shippers are looking for quick time-to-value, and/or wanting to replace their existing spreadsheets and fax machines. SaaS could be a good starting place for them."
Evergreen Packaging: Head in the cloud
When Evergreen Packaging Inc., and Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc., joined to form Evergreen Packaging Group in 2007, it didn't take long for the new company to get on the growth path.
Soon, the new company realized that it needed to centralize its supply chain and leverage more aspects of its existing transportation network, which was geographically dispersed and fragmented.
David Friedson, director of logistics and distribution for the Memphis-based firm, which makes paperboard packaging solutions that can be found in consumer products like microwavable trays, envelopes, and even lollipop sticks, says the search for a TMS was rooted in the company's need to centralize its transportation component.
"As the company grew, we realized that our logistics were highly decentralized and taken care of at the facility level," says Friedson. "We were doing an excellent job handling everything that way, but we really weren't taking advantage of the complete network that we had in place."
Evergreen manufactured 15 billion milk and juice cartons in 2009 and served them up to a globally dispersed customer base. Working from nine domestic manufacturing plants and eight more that are located around the globe, the company has a complex supply chain that includes "many different parts and pieces that are moving around the globe at any given time," says Friedson.
Those moving parts aside, the merger between the two companies and the formation of Evergreen went smoothly. Working in the new company's favor were the reputations already created by its two predecessors, because both companies had already established themselves as world-class manufacturers, says Friedson. To maximize this unique position—and to make that reputation carry over to the new entity—the firm set its sights on a new logistics strategy that covered both the supply chain execution and the strategies behind it.
The first step involved looking at 10 different supply chain solution providers, according to Friedson, and then narrowing that list down based on a few key criteria. Topping that criteria list were the solution's value proposition, the client-vendor relationship, the vendor's knowledge of Evergreen Packaging's business, as well as the vendor's project management skills.
Perhaps most importantly, Friedson says that the manufacturer wanted to be able to manage its supply chain on a 24/7, ongoing basis within a dynamic environment that "wasn't just a static, optimized picture of what had happened in the past, but rather, a look at what was going on during the journey itself."
After a rigorous selection process that included both on-demand and purchase-and-install options, Evergreen Packaging selected a managed TMS from Transportation Management Center (TMC), a division of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. Friedson says SaaS was selected after a thorough market search revealed that it would "get us there faster, in terms of really creating value over time and allowing us to focus on strategy, while leaving the execution issues up to the vendor."
The TMS implementation started in May 2010. Over the eight months that followed, the new system would be rolled out to a total of nine domestic locations, with the last two added in January 2011. "We moved at lightning speed," says Friedson. "The fast pace alone illustrates just how successful the implementation has been."
The manufacturer is using the TMC TMS for its North American logistics operations, the bulk of which is handled by truckload and less-than-truckload carriers. The system's order management component handles all freight-related activities, from tender right on through to payment. "We also use it for business intelligence, to help us improve both our cost and service," says Friedson. The TMS also captures Evergreen Packaging's rail transportation activities, although Friedson points out that it's not being used for the tendering of rail freight.
Because the shipper was previously using a highly fragmented approach to transportation management, there were naturally some cultural issues to work through with the new system. "The challenges were mainly around change management," says Friedson, who points out the manufacturer's choice of a hosted solution helped ward off some of those issues right out of the gate.
"Using the hosted model helped us mitigate the change management issue because it allowed us to focus on the change that is going on in our operations, and not worry about how to install and configure a TMS," says Friedson. "We were able to concentrate on interfacing with the system, and centralizing our transportation management process."
So far, Evergreen Packaging has seen positive results from its TMS investment with its 3PL. Friedson says carrier performance has improved, although no solid savings or cost cuts have been detected yet. "We're still in the process of looking at the financial benefits," says Friedson, who sees hosted solutions as a good bet for shippers of all sizes who are looking to save money and get up and running quickly.
"Compared to the SaaS solutions of 10 years ago, today's hosted options are fully vetted and very powerful," says Friedson. "They're viable options that should be evaluated along with all of the other solutions that are available on today's market."
Key processes best suited to cloud computing
Cloud computing is particularly applicable to supply chain activities where extensive customization is not required, or when the activity is performed sporadically (such as a sourcing "event"), or is not a "core" part of what makes the company unique. These activities are likely to be the first to make the transition to the cloud. We will now examine four of them in detail.
1. Planning and Forecasting: Cloud-based tools are now available for capturing itemized spend data, performing basic analytics, planning manufacturing runs and executing statistical demand forecasts. Applications focused solely on retail supply chains are also prevalent, with capabilities that include planning and allocation, assortment and space, pricing and promotion, and forecasting and replenishment.
In the near future, many more cloud service providers will add planning and forecasting applications to their offering. A primary reason is that planning and forecasting are rarely core components of companies' ERP systems. This means companies can run one manufacturer's ERP application internally, while simultaneously leveraging another's best-of-breed planning/forecasting application via the Internet.
2. Logistics: Some core warehouse and transportation management applications already are available online from cloud providers. Over the coming years, more and more cloud computing applications for functions such as network strategy, inventory management, warehousing, and transportation will become available. Processes such as global trade compliance, replenishment planning, order processing, transportation load building, fleet management and transportation route planning are likely candidates.
3. Sourcing & Procurement: Cloud computing represents a great opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership—the most commonly cited success metric in sourcing and procurement. A key reason is that cloud-based tools are inherently collaborative and accessible, creating major benefits for companies that deal routinely with thousands of suppliers. For example, cloud-based collaboration allows multiple parties to jointly develop supplier contracts, dramatically enhancing contract management.
Myriad sourcing and procurement capabilities are rapidly coming online, including procurement report generation, database centralisation and supply chain visibility. Retail potential is particularly strong.
4. Service and Spare Parts Management: Many companies underperform in service and spare parts management, despite the fact that this area often generates a high proportion of an organization's profits. Companies can gain significant advantages by using cloud computing to upgrade their capabilities and implement new processes rapidly without extensive capital expenditure costs.
Tools such as warranty validation are already available to service operations, and cloud applications for reverse logistics/returns processing, technician dispatch & tracking, and spare parts inventory pooling & distribution are expected soon.

Subscription Coffee: ESP Workshop #32 + Cameroon Mifi Longberry
Aug. 5, 2014
Espresso Workshop #32 - MLA (Strong City+)
This is a very diverse blend that was made for our espresso workshop but with the intention to be used as a non-espresso coffee as well. It features two Ethiopian coffees with different processing methods (dry + wet process) and a Guatemalan coffee to help harmonize the trio. This here is a City+ roast just on the verge of full City. The intent of this roast level was to achieve the ripe fruit and chocolate flavors up to the surface while preserving the brightness and clarity of citrus acidity as it's backbone. A beautiful scent of fruits and sweet sugars in the aroma. Lots of citrus fruits and creamy chocolate going on in the brewed cup. The body is thick and juicy with a nice touch of brightness still sparkling in the cup.
Cameroon Mifi Java Longberry (City)
Here is a coffee that you don't see everyday. This Cameroon has very nice body going on, even at a very gentle roast. At this City roast level it did it's best to hang on to the brightness of the acidity, which is inhearently mild. What a nutty coffee that closely resembles a Guatemala with it's fat body. Lots of buttery hazelnuts accompanied with bittersweet cocoa also surrounds this as it cools. Large and in charge!
We are also roasting a fresh batch of Liquid Amber Espresso Blend.
THESE ROASTED COFFEES WILL NOT BE READY TO PURCHASE INDIVIDUALLY UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING!!! GET READY FOR IT!!! Click HERE to see our roasted coffee page.

Much like they do when I'm planning and scrambling and looking forward to World Card Making Day the first Saturday in October.
But I know that many of you Moxie Fabbers are exclusively scrapbookers, and even more of you are scrapbookers who also make cards, and even more than that of you consider yourselves to be cardmakers who also scrapbook, and so today's blog bop is all about...drum roll please...the layout!
I recently had the chance to work with the Creating Keepsakes Dream Team on a collaborative feature we've got planned for our July/August issue (which you are going to "l-o-v-e" love, by the way--I just saw the first proofs and it is moxie inspiring), and friends, they are just the most delightful girls you could ever hope to e-meet. I've gone and "bopped" to each of their blogs, and boy howdy, I'm just amazed at all the creative inspiration there is in the world.
So, in honor of National Scrapbooking Day, I give you the talented ladies that make up the Creating Keepsakes Dream Team. Check it:
Moxie Fab Alert: Um. Forgive me. But it just doesn't get much more trenderful than this. Maggie prepared this layout for a Studio Calico kit launch, and IMHO, she's used it to trendy perfection. Of note, the cut-out doily banner at the top of her awesome photo, the additional cut-out doilies grounding the bottom of the photo, the delicious white space, the fluttering butterflies, and that teensy cloud at the top? Drool.
Moxie Fab Alert: Wendy created this fun layout for a blog hop for American Crafts and I just love the way the product she chose adds to the pictures. I just want to hop right into that layout and live there for a while, don't you?
Moxie Fab Alert: Created for the launch of a kit from A Million Memories, this is one of Suzy's favorite photos of her husband and daughter. Not only is her use of product just gorgeous, but it's perfectly fitting--it's feminine without being too frilly--and since this layout is all about daddy and daughter that's going to be important--and it subtly frames the beautifully captured black and white photograph, letting it be the star of the show. Moxie love!
Moxie Fab Alert: I love the treatment of space in this 8 1/2" x 11" layout. Sara's made great use of this format's vertical nature by placing the photos on the right hand side. She capitalizes on the movement in the design by placing that fun title in the center left, the "explore" takes your eye to the top right, you cruise down the photos where your drawn into the journaling. And the "A" and the "N" photos tie it all together. An excellent example of great design!
Moxie Fab Alert: Let's start with the color scheme. Mmm. Mmm. Let's mention the delicious red and white doily paper at the top of the layout. Let's not forget the cloud paper in the background of the lower half of the layout. Let's also notice the way she's broken up the space: divide in half, divide the top half again. Let's discuss the brilliant pop of red in the title in the lower left hand corner that ties the whole thing in. Let's delight in those cutie-pie photos. Let's.
Moxie Fab Alert: Laura wanted to document her girls' favorite TV shows. I love that she's used groovy tween-ish paper to set the stage, and that she's pulled promo shots from each of their favies. Can't you imagine the sweet trip down memory lane they'll have one day when they look back at this time in their lives, permanently captured on the page?
Moxie Fab Alert: The photos are striking--and intriguing--aren't they? They just beg you to look deeper. Using a digital kit from BasicGrey, Cindy has added elements to her layout that you can only do with a digi kit--and I find that intriguing as well. But what intrigues me the most? The "secret" that's being told to Mr. Einstein. If you read the journaling, you see that Cindy's intrigued as well!
Moxie Fab Alert: This layout just seems so pleasantly cohesive to me. The photo of the children with their arms outstretched towards the sun. The less intense floral background that allows the title and the sun and the flowers and the butterflies and the border to reach out and grab us. The scalloped wood border that grounds it all. And the journaling, the piece de resistance: The warmer weather always puts a spring in your step. The hope that comes with the new season puts dreams to flight. Which is, of course, emphasized by that sweetie banner. Yum.
Moxie Fab Alert: In this layout it is clear: it all starts with the photo. Everything in this layout works to emphasize that colorful, yet tender photo of a mother and daughter who have shared a bittersweet moment together. I love the soft, vintage nature of both the textures and the colors in this layout and how they all work together so well to make the photo shine.
Moxie Fab Alert: Can you say balance? Can you say using typographical elements to emphasize a concept? Can you say delicious color scheme? Can you say fantastic photos? Can you say heartfelt and creative journaling? Can you say moxie fab?

Six students advanced to finals and two made semi-finalists in the spring vocal competition. UST students competed against students from Sam Houston State University, Lamar University, Texas Southern University, Houston Baptist University and many other local community colleges.
The following UST music students participated:
Two students from Dr. Brady Knapp's private studio also competed. Mohammad Salman, who participates in UST choir and opera workshop, placed second in the Beginning Adult Division. Emily Wolf, a junior High School for the Performing and Visual Arts student, was a semi-finalist.
Knapp, associate professor of music and director of vocal and choral studies, said he is proud of the UST vocal music students who competed.
"The students have represented UST at the NATS competitions very well in the past and once again have succeeded," Knapp said. "It is a pleasure to work with this group of talented singers."
Prof. Jasmine Hattem accompanied the students in the competition. "We're lucky to have her," Knapp said.

The Mets begin a three-game series at home against the Brewers tonight. They received encouraging news on the Jose Reyes front, with the real possibility that he will be activated next Tuesday.
But what you'll want to know about the Mets future will be taking place in a federal district courtroom in New York.
Put simply, Sterling Equities, the Fred Wilpon-led group that owns the Mets, is being sued by the trustee for the Bernie Madoff victims for $1 billion. Arriving at that figure is complicated, and I have elaborated on it in greater detail elsewhere.
Leave aside how you feel about whether the Wilpons knew, should have known, or should receive any profits from Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The team finally has a front office in place with a solid, long-term plan.
The only thing keeping that stability from producing a consistent winner in Queens is financial uncertainty.
Put simply, if you believe the Wilpons will be unable to regain a sound financial footing- and with massive debt against the team, SNY, Citi Field, the Picard lawsuit, and a payoff to David Einhorn all in the medium-term offing, that seems like the reasonable view- hoping for more dramatic reversals to speed the transition along is the rational position.
So consider that as you read about Judge Jed S. Rakoff's actions, whether he rules today from the bench or issues an opinion down the road. The desired result for a Mets fan is as clear as the one on the field this evening.

Awful hubristic to assume the only thing that will prevent that group from building a consistent winner is financial stability.
Howard Megdal
I don't think there's magic to it, and there's even less magic to it when New York money is backing common-sense choices. Hence, my assumption.
I do, however, love your use of "hubristic".

What has the world come to. I switch on a new Nokia phone and the first thing I see is the BlackBerry Messenger. And did I mention the fact that this was a Nokia Android phone. Yes, a Nokia phone running a version of Googles operating system which some people in Finland thought was never worth a second glance.
Sorry, if I sound like a Fandroid, which I am not. But I am still trying to reconcile to the harsh realities of 2014, a time in which Nokia has been forced to use an operating system it was not particularly fond and BlackBerry being pushed to let its BBM be used in every phone.
If you didnt get what I am getting at, let me tell you that I am staring at the Nokia X. This is the first of the Nokia phones to feature a modified operating system based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). But let us get one thing clear, this is not an Android phone. In fact, it is as much an Android phone as the latest version of the BlackBerry OS that lets you side-load apps. Here is why:
1. The design is not Android
The Nokia X looks and feels like a slightly large Asha 501. It has a thinner bezel and hence more real estate. It is also a bit more heavier. It comes from the same design family as the rest of the Nokia phones these days and hence has a bright colour body unless you opt for the black one. The rear flap also tries to protect the camera bump. But the one big difference in comparison to Android phones is that there is just one back button under the screen, like in the Asha series. And this is not exactly a Home button and that has a considerable impact on the way you use this phone.
2.The OS is not Android If you didnt know this was an Android phone from Nokia, you would have thought it was a fake Chinese version of the Lumia. This phone OS does not look like any Android phone you have ever seen. Nokia has tried to bring in the Lumia design language into the phone and you have a tile-based interface that is many notches below what you find on the Lumia 525 for instance. So this Android phone actually looks more like a Windows

looking at wetsuits but I am 63" normal slender build more like a large but I am not seeing a Large tall. any suggestions?
Hello Jeff, take a look at this suit: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-42/150167/Ocean-Quest-5mm-Premium-Super-Stretch-Titanium-Wetsuit.html. When you are sizing a wet suit or dive skin. The two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight is the last measurement you take into account. So if you fall chest and waist into size large then that is the size I would go with.

Hello all,
I am having an issue with the ZCS Connector version 188.8.131.5224 and Outlook 2007/2010 on two computers. One computer is running Windows 7 Professional and Outlook 2010 and the other computer is running Windows XP Pro with Outlook Small Business 2007. Both are using the 188.8.131.5224 version of the ZCS connector. When I start Outlook on my computer, it will start loading all the mail and then suddenly an error report will pop up telling me that Outlook needs to close. However, if I uninstall the ZCS Connector version 22.214.171.12424 and reinstall the older version 5.0.11, the issue does not occur. This allows me to use the program as normal with no errors.
Is anyone aware of this issue or experiencing the same issues? Would upgrading to a newer version of the ZCS connector software resolve this issue? Any suggestions?

Ned Yost media session: June 26
When manager Ned Yost met with the media before tonight's game there was a discussion about who will be the starting pitcher in the final game of the three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Everett Teaford will be throwing tomorrow. "He has been throwing the ball good and we like a left-handed match up against this club. He has been throwing well in Omaha," said Yost. Everett is a fairly young pitcher in terms of game experience and has both started and relieved in the Majors, but the question is will he have the potential to be a consistent starting pitcher in the Majors? Yost says, "I think he does, he has made great strides in the last couple of years. He has really started to make a name for himself in our organization. The thing I like about him is that he has three pretty good pitches and he throws strikes and he competes really, really well."
The Royals have had back-to-back good offensive days, scoring eight runs in each game. Yost said, "You can put nine guys out there that struggle for a week and then all of sudden come back one day and score eight runs. It's just the natural ups and downs of the season and it happens every year. We did a good job of winning close games lately. You just have to stay level headed and try and go out each and every day and win a game." The Royals will be looking to continue this offensive trend tonight.

Hi, I just checked out the calendar feature but it's not as I expected. I thought I would be able to see my yahoo and google calendars combined in one view. But instead I only see yahoo appointment when I click on the yahoo account.
Is there a way that when I click on Calendar (no matter which mail account I was currently using) that I could just see all appointments combined on a single calendar view?

GILLESPIE, Ill. (KSDK) - A weekend collision involving a motorcycle and passenger vehicle over the weekend resulted in the death of 28-year-old motorcyclist, the Illinois State Police said Tuesday.
According to Trooper Jeffrey Yenchko, an ISP spokesman, the accident occurred April 6 just after 10:50 p.m. along Illinois Route 4, south of Clark Street.
A 16-year-old driving a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix southbound on Route 4 was approached from behind by man on a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle. A witness told investigators the motorcyclist attempted to pass the car in front of him at a high rate of speed and struck the rear of that vehicle.
The motorcyclist, identified as Cory Broderick of Benld, Illinois, was rushed to Community Memorial Hospital in Staunton, where he later died.

I am writing this letter to say thank you to the many people who supported the Rifle Bears football team.
First, thank you to all the football moms. Thank you for all the behind the scenes work: All the decorating, all the team dinners and all the laundry.
Next, thank you to all the coaches. Thank you for preparing each and every week. For all the obsessive hours spent over the weekends. Our success this season would not have happened without you.
Thirdly, to the transportation people up at the bus barn. Thank you for donating a second bus for these last two playoff games. The extra leg room and extra teammates were greatly appreciated.
Also, thank you to the city of Rifle and all the Rifle High School students for all the support this season. All the people coming to the games made it a lot of fun to play. The send off before the state game is something we will remember for the rest of our lives. It has truly been a blessing to play for you.
And lastly, thank you to my teammates. Thank you for the early mornings and late nights. Thank you for the practices at Mesa when it was 100 degrees and at home when it was 10 degrees. These last four years together I wouldn't trade for anything. Thanks for always staying Rifle tough! It's been a great ride.

Summary:Christian, a young Bohemian poet living in 1899 Paris, defies his father by joining the colorfully diverse clique inhabiting the dark, fantastical underworld of Paris' now legendary Moulin Rouge.

Their romance is played out against the infamous club -- a meeting place of high and low, where slumming aristocrats and the fashionably rich mingle with workers, artists, bohemians, actresses and courtesans.

There is no argument that the power grid serving the state needs to be strengthened and improved to meet future needs. The challenge for upstate communities will be to remain vigilant in efforts to make certain that whatever delivery system is approved, that it be least intrusive.
So far, a pitch by National Grid appears to meet that standard. National Grid is part of New York Transco — the energy supplier consortium — and one of three companies competing to be selected. The others are LS Power, an affiliate of North America Transmission Corp., and NextEra Energy Transmission.
National Grid is proposing a new power line that would incorporate the existing line. The other two companies propose new power lines that would run along existing rights of way.
Details have yet to be announced. But in the shadow of the 2006 New York Regional Interconnect debacle, it behooves local leaders and representatives at the state level to stay on top of any plan that would compromise our communities.

Anyone here done any tests with the above combination? Vista's IE7 apparantly has a security measure that will not allow secure and insecure pages in the same window, so It will automatically open a new window to render a secure page. Well, if you have mixed mode turned on and goto the ZCS login page, it of course switches to Secure mode. Once you type your username/pass it then attempts to switch back to insecure, which opens a new window, which then (on my setup) gives an error, opens another window, and tries again and again into infinity (or the computer crashes). Has anyone else experienced this? Any work-arounds?
Also, I did submit it to bugzilla.

As the owner of Scott's Hallmark in the Empire State Plaza, Robert McNiven was accustomed to juggling all the details that go into running a retail business. But a few years ago, McNiven started having trouble staying organized. Other strange things happened as well. He became obsessive about paying the mortgage, started running up credit card debt and had trouble keeping priorities straight. His memory was getting worse, too.
After work, he'd come home exhausted and nap, a habit that was foreign to him. McNiven thought it was advancing age. His wife thought it was a thyroid issue or depression. "They were getting ready to take me to a psychologist," says McNiven, 60, of Altamont. "Nobody thought it was the brain."
On Columbus Day weekend, McNiven and his wife Nancy took a trip to Maine. McNiven couldn't stop vomiting and was having trouble walking. When the couple returned home, he rushed to his primary doctor, who immediately sent him for an MRI. The scan revealed a growth on his brain. "My doctor said, 'Right this minute, get in your car and go to Albany Med,'" McNiven recalls. "It was so big that it was pushing my brain from the right side of my head to the left side of my head."
On the morning of Oct. 12, 2012, his youngest son, Steven, shaved McNiven's head to prepare him for surgery. At noon, Albany Med neurosurgeon Dr. Tyler Kenning began the six-hour procedure that removed an 8 cm. frontal meningioma, a type of brain tumor that is most often benign though still life-threatening.
"This was a fairly sizeable mass, and although meningiomas are often benign, Mr. McNiven's tumor had invaded many of the important arteries and veins on the brain's surface. This was further complicated by the location of the tumor right over the area of the brain that controlled his speech. We had to carefully work to remove the tumor without damaging any of these important structures," explains Dr. Kenning.
When Robert woke up two hours later, his physicians were thrilled when he immediately asked, "Are you done already?" The surgery was a success, and his speech was spared.
His wife and three children were at his bedside. His oldest son, Robert, who is in the Air Force, had flown home from Utah, while his daughter Jenny had driven home from New Mexico with her three dogs.
Although the growth was fortunately benign, doctors found enough abnormal cells inside the tumor to prescribe radiation just to be sure it would not grow back. Even so, McNiven's energy has been restored, and he's taking walks and even hopes to resume jogging next year.
"I'm absolutely certain Dr. Kenning saved my life," McNiven says. "If I wasn't looked at for another week, I don't know if I'd be here."
