Dear Forum!
We are developing applications in Delphi 6 Professional.
One of our customers said that they have problem with Zimbra Client and our MAPI(SendMail) calls.
The experience was that when they are trying to send mail with our MAPI call, they are got the "attachment" only - the "sender", "recipient", "subject", "body" lost!
Then they said us that our product do wrong call, and I checked the Zimbra Desktop. They said that Excel, Word can send, only our product not.
My experience was that when I used Thunderbird, I can send from:
- XNView
- Total Commander (select more item, and send them)
- our product
- other programs
But when I used Zimbra, all of them pass only the attachment only - with miscoded Hungarian characters (UTF8).
Because we must provide some solution, first I checked that may it have problem with non-unicode texts.
But as I see that MAPISendMail supports only non-unicode version - only way to pass unicode text is to use UTF8.
But: when I use only non-special characters then the Zimbra also lost the main informations.
So: we are blocked by this "bug" or "problem".
And we don't know what we can do to provide valid email with needed fields...
We must provide something to this corporation, but I don't know, what we CAN do...
The users don't want to type every field into the document, and automatic filling (with sending characters to the Zimbra directly) is not working on body...
I hope you can suggest something.
Thanks for your help!
Regards: DD

Where poppies grow
With renewed fighting, Afghanistan's opium trade-the largest in the world-is a persistent block to security and development
"Where poppies grow" Continued...
Afghanistan has received little American press attention lately, with occasional reports focusing on continuing fighting. But the efforts of Malaly Pikar Volpi and other development workers like her may make the difference between defeating the Muslim extremists who make up the Taliban and seeing them gradually reconquer the country.
That's because Afghan poppy fields are a persistent backdrop to the war on terror. The country is the world's largest supplier of the flowers that make opium, producing 90 percent of the drug. Drug dealers refine opium into illegal heroin that ends up largely on Europe's streets. Last year, despite massive aid from the United States and Europe, farmers harvested their largest opium crop in years-and the Taliban often grabbed the profits.
Standing in the gap is Volpi, executive director of the U.S.-Afghanistan Reconstruction Council, a Washington-based nonprofit that is helping to rebuild her original homeland. Born in Kabul, she came to the United States with her parents and trained as an economist. On one return trek through Afghan poppy country she interviewed 500 residents, including many farmers, learning what it might take to contain the opium trade.
One way tried by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Give men cash for clearing irrigation canals or throwing gravel on roads. But such projects do not last long, and men who participate still need to earn as much as possible: "If the main farmer is throwing gravel on a road, his wife is growing poppy," Volpi points out.
The farmers want and need regular income, yet she says they would prefer not to produce opium, since it is haram (forbidden) under Islam. But the temptation is strong: The UN Office on Drugs and Crime reports that one hectare (about 2 1/2 acres) of poppy can earn an Afghan farmer 10 times more than a cereal crop.
Volpi suggests cutting out aid middlemen and directly providing what farmers desire, such as cold storage or trucks to transport crops. She said they might turn from poppies if they think other crops stand a chance.
Right now, though, farmers who go straight often face economic hardship. One farmer in the heavy poppy-growing province of Badakhshan told Volpi he had a storehouse full of rotting wheat that he could not sell. He had followed the government's instructions not to grow poppy, but a market flooded by Pakistani wheat and popular bleached flour meant the crop's prices were too low. This year, he said, he would plant poppy.
Other farmers grumble about faltering U.S. and official efforts to help them shift to crops such as potatoes. Seeds and fertilizers came too late for the planting season. Poppy, though, is easy to grow, and in dry Afghanistan doesn't need much water. In Badakhshan, aid workers may have to navigate a mountain and muddy roads to deliver a truckload of planting potatoes to farmers. Drug dealers, by contrast, know their farmers already have ready stocks of tiny blue-black poppy seeds.
Last week NATO and Afghan soldiers swept through southern Afghanistan, and in the poppy-laden Sangin Valley they came under attack from heavily armored Taliban fighters. Mortar fire and heavy machine guns greeted British soldiers when they set out on foot patrols between Kandahar and Herat. Traffickers work symbiotically with the Taliban, providing weapons and funding in exchange for protection of drug routes and poppy fields.
Volpi's aid group works heavily in Badakhshan. Unpaved roads often become impassable after mud slides, but the opium trade has well-grooved byways. Smaller drug dealers know farmers and local leaders well because they usually hail from provincial villages in valleys that typically contain several thousand people.
Badakhshan has little Taliban influence, but its isolation means it has been cut off from needed development. Farmers for centuries have cultivated poppy for seeds used in baking bread and for medicinal purposes. They also grow mulberries and walnuts and produce the country's best pistachios.
The Soviet invasion in 1979 wiped out much of Badakhshan's agriculture. The armies cut down trees and forests to ferret out hiding fighters. When Soviet forces left, factional fighting between Afghans, and then the Taliban's 1996 takeover, brought new problems-and poppy dealers operated even more brazenly.
Volpi paints a picture of today's traffickers riding motorcycles, checking on poppy fields, and delivering payments. Dealers ringed by security guards give corrupt officials a share of drug profits. Millions in foreign aid haven't changed the nature of the trade. Before planting, a dealer may decide to pay a farmer $2,000 an acre. He pays half up front and the other half at harvest. Cultivating poppy takes many hands, and women often work alongside men, or grow their own fields as sharecroppers.
Life is often hard for farmers, but it can also turn miserable. At harvest time, from April to late July, farmers cut lines into poppy bulbs until a milky liquid-the opium gum-oozes out. Dealers buy that liquid by the ounce, but if the yield is insufficient farmers fall into debt and may hand over their daughters as payment-or grow twice as much the next year without pay, Volpi said.
Even in flush years farmers garner payments that are only a fraction of the profit. According to the State Department, farmers received not more than a quarter of the opium harvest's value last year-$755 million-with the rest going to narcotics traffickers. Volpi has met the farmers and says, "You can tell by the way they live and the way they dress that money is not flowing to them."
Still, opium brings a more reliable income than wheat or other crops. Markets for grain and other alternatives are scarce. Finding trucks to transport crops or storing more perishable crops in Badakhshan's sub-zero winters and 100-degree summers are challenges.
In Badakhshan dealers who learn of poppy eradication sweeps simply try to stop them through their connections, or they warn farmers to harvest early. Officials eradicate crops, the farmers say, mostly to show "the foreigners."
In southern Afghanistan progress is also slow, as evidenced by the recent return to the United States of Homira Nassery, a Kabul-born Afghan-American who worked for a federal contractor in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand.
For a year she lived and worked in a compound with a pink stucco house hemmed by barbed wire and sandbags. When she ventured out for agricultural projects, she wore sweltering body armor and rode in armored cars that were potential targets for ambushes. In the field she often donned a burqa, so as not to attract hostile attention to veiled local women with whom she met.
Nassery also worried about her young female co-workers: To avoid attacks, they walked varied routes to work, carried different bags, or wore different shoes. Such a fortress mentality seems eons away from the "Little America" Lashkar Gah once was: In the '60s, a U.S. aid project built avenues and now-faded American homes, along with irrigation canals and a dam.
The south's poor security now, Nassery says, is "95 percent" of the reason why reconstruction is slow and frustrating. And she is now gone, while the Taliban makes a comeback. In Helmand, when poppy eradication drives began, local farmers turned to the Taliban to protect their poppies. Taliban forces have bombed and attacked school and road projects, pushing foreign contractors to abandon nearly every development project.
Drug traffickers and the Taliban often find sanctuary with their opium profits across the border in Pakistan. During its rule, the Taliban played a clever double-game. Knowing Islam forbids intoxicants such as opium, its leaders banned opium cultivation for a period. But they were already sheltering stockpiles of opium, and the ban drove up its price. At any rate, they reasoned that it would be wrong to sell opium to Muslims, but not to infidel drug addicts in the West.
"They were some of the big beneficiaries of the campaign of cultivation," said James Phillips, a Heritage Foundation terrorism expert. "Under the new system, they provide protection to convoys, to material coming out of poppy growing regions."
U.S. reconstruction in Afghanistan, faced with the tough sell of eradicating the poppy crops, has largely focused on broad programs such as vaccinating children, building schools, and helping once-oppressed women. Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has even warned against destroying opium fields before desperate farmers have other livelihoods.
Some believe that farmers who maximize their income by growing poppy will never switch, but Volpi has a different sense, based on her interviews with farmers: "If they had the opportunity to make half the money without fear and without shame, they would do it."
Slow revival
In Kabul setbacks are many but improvements are sure
When Randall Olson visited Kabul in 2001 before the U.S. invasion, it was a ghost city with deserted streets. Many Afghans had fled the country via the capital. "I had Taliban officials asking me, as an American, for jobs," he told WORLD.
Now the president and CEO of Shelter for Life International, a Christian aid group that has worked in Afghanistan since earthquakes rocked the north in 1998, sees a revived city. Kabul's population has quadrupled as Afghans have returned to their homes-some to find squatters occupying their houses-and children are going to school. The schoolgirls in particular are noticeable: Under its rule the Taliban banned them from education. One of his Kabul workers, who had not seen the city in decades, marveled that an area that once had only one school now had eight.
The United States has poured more than $14 billion in aid into Afghanistan since 2001, and President Bush has requested a further $11.8 billion over the next two years for reconstruction and training security forces. Still, as with eradicating the opium trade, it is tough going: Continuing Taliban and warlord threats and official corruption block measurable progress.
With U.S. funding, Shelter for Life built 32 schools in the southern provinces of Kandahar, Helmand, and Nimroz, only to have six fire-bombed. Olson said the group managed to repair three. Locals, he notes, can adapt to life without schools, teaching their children in courtyards in mixed classes.
Olson, who has written about Pashtun culture and language, says locals are independent-minded and often dislike the Taliban, even as some villages side with them out of fear or economics. If an Afghan soldier is earning $100 a month, for example, the Taliban might co-opt him simply by offering $200 instead.
By any measure, Olson said, the fruits of most reconstruction efforts will take a decade or more to see. Only one in five girls and women is literate now, but with millions enrolled in school, that number will inch up. In Afghanistan, no one expects quick fixes.

It was in this background that the 3rd week
of October turned out to be a 'networking' week for me, attending a
social-networking workshop and an interactive evening gathering with my fellow IBMers.
The workshop was about social-networking through IBM Lotus® Connections, a
robust collaboration software that empowers people to connect, collaborate, and
innovate while optimizing the way they work. It was a great learning experience
and I did install some cool and faster tools which I've been happily using
since then :-)
Now, the icing on the cake! The networking part! Yes, networking is very important in any job role/any business. The workshop not only gave me the opportunity to network with my peers from various departments but also raise the visibility of my work. Hence, with the week, just passed, I'm feeling richer by a network of contacts which I'm sure will be a great help in performing my job role :-)
A note for you; You can attend Pulse 2011 and network with your peers from
across your industry.

Scheffler won the ninth and 10th the go 2-up. The pair traded wins at 11 and
12. Scheffler tripped to a bogey at 13 to trim his lead to 1-up. Watt squared
things with a birdie at the 15th. Scheffler stumbled to a bogey at the last to
lose the match.
Matthews made a mess of the first three holes, but a double bogey at the third
was enough to give him the win. He was 1-down at that point, but he bogeyed
the eighth to fall 2-down.
Around the turn, Goss won the 10th with a par and the 14th with a double
bogey. Goss birdied the 15th to close out the 5 & 3 win.
Raymond was 1-up for four of the first six holes, but bogeyed the seventh to
square the match. After a pair of halves, Raymond bogeyed four in a row to
slide 4-down. Conners was given the 13th, but Raymond bounced back to take the
14th. Conners, the 2013 Canadian amateur runner-up, parred the 15th to claim
the match.
After a back and forth first eight holes, Fitzpatrick took the ninth with a
par. Ball bogeyed three straight from the 10th to go 4-down. The pair halved
the next three holes, giving Fitzpatrick the match.

|New hearing set for Tuesday on revised LB 1074 water bill
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 12 March 2014 21:03
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Members of the Legislature's Natural Resources Committee will hold a new hearing early next week on a totally revised version of the water-related bill, LB 1074.
The guts of the previous version of the bill, which totalled 56 pages, have been stripped and replaced with a new six-page version.
With such a significant change in the bill's language, the committee saw the need to take testimony on the new bill before moving forward. The hearing will be held next Tuesday, March 18 in Lincoln from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. CDT.
Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial was among a number of senators who met with the Department of Natural Resources to discuss the new bill.
Christensen said all present believed it was prudent to hold a new hearing on the bill, which remains in the Natural Resources Committee.
Christensen said Tuesday he believes it's important to get public input on the new language and hear the pros and cons of the bill. Many good ideas come from these hearings, he added.
First version of LB 1074
LB 1074 was introduced by Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha with the goal of changing how a river basin in the state is determined to be fully or over-appropriated.
In its original form, the bill had the potential to cause a significant shutdown of groundwater wells in the state, according to Upper Republican Natural Resources District Manager Jasper Fanning.
In testimony to the Natural Resources Committee on the original bill, Nate Jenkins, assistant URNRD manager, said, "The proposed legislation impliedly mandates that all groundwater use in Nebraska must be regulated to increase supplies to surface water permit holders, whether the cause of the shortfall was from conservation or groundwater use."
He told the committee that historically, 70 percent of the streamflow in the Republican River was generated by runoff. The amount of runoff has been reduced significantly by conservation measures such as terracing and no-till farming, all efforts to keep water from running off crop land.
He told the committee it would not be fair to hold groundwater users accountable for these declines.
The original bill would have limited groundwater use in areas where significant groundwater decline has occurred over the years.
In the URNRD, areas in western Chase County, more specifically in the Lamar area, Jenkins said allocations of two to three inches would be required to insure no more decline occurred.
Planning goal of new version
Christensen said the ultimate goal of the new version of LB 1074 would be to initiate a planning process towards adopting a basin-wide plan for managing water supplies in the basin.
It builds on the foundation of water management set forth in 2004 legislation, LB 962, which was based on recommendations of a state water policy task force.
The new planning process would set goals and objectives to be met over a 30-year period, with progress to be measured every five years through technical analysis.
As revised, "The analysis shall include an examination of (a) available supplies, current uses and changes in long-term water availability, (b) the effects of conservation practices and natural causes, including but not limited to, drought and (c) the effects of the plan in meeting the goal of sustaining a balance between water uses and water supplies.
"The analysis shall determine if changes or modifications to the basin-wide plan are needed to meet the goals and objectives" of the plan.
The basin-wide plan would be developed using a consultation and collaboration process involving irrigation districts, reclamation districts, public power and irrigation districts, mutual irrigation companies, canal companies and municipalities that rely on water from within the affected area.
However, the new version says DNR and the basin NRDs "shall have the authority to adopt a basin-wide plan."
Christensen said he likes the looks of the new version, noting there are both positives and negatives, depending on whether a water user is a surface water user or groundwater user.
He said it forces these users to work together in developing a plan.
Fanning said he does not like language in the new version that would turn over all water-management control to DNR after 30 years if the goals and objectives of the plan are not met.
He noted the language provides no specific or measurable benchmarks to determine if the goals and objectives have been met.
He said Tuesday morning he and his staff are still reviewing the new language and anticipated someone will offer testimony at next Tuesday's hearing.
Compliance DNR's goal
Ever since DNR used surface water for compact compliance purposes last year, Christensen has been championing some type of compensation for those users who lost the use of their water.
DNR has indicated surface water will be used for compliance purposes again in 2014.
During Tuesday's meeting with DNR, Christensen asked DNR Director Brian Dunnigan about continued use of surface water for compliance purposes.
Christensen said Dunnigan told him his primary goal is to insure Nebraska remains in compliance with the compact settlement with Kansas.
As a result, if surface water is needed as an element of compliance, Christensen said Dunnigan intends to use it.
Christensen suggested to Dunnigan the state permanently buy out the surface water rights and dedicate that water to groundwater recharge, sustainability and compact compliance.
Dunnigan responded by saying that's a state policy decision and not a decision his department could make.
Fanning said that's a policy decision that could be addressed by the Legislature in the future.

Sao Paulo, Brazil (Sports Network) - Benjamin Alvarado carded a 5-under 66 on
Saturday to grab a 3-stroke lead at the inaugural Brasil Classic.
Alvarado was forced to complete his second round earlier on Saturday as
Friday's round was suspended due to darkness following a three-plus hour rain
delay, and closed with three straight birdies to grab a share of the lead
prior to the start of the third round.
The Chile native, who is seeking his first career win on the Web.com Tour,
finished three rounds at the Sao Paulo Golf Club at 17-under-par 196.
Kevin Kim (67) sits in second place at 14-under, while Richard S. Johnson
(70), Danny Lee (70) and Dawie van der Walt (65) share third at minus-13.
Johnson and Lee each held a share of the lead with Alvarado prior to the start
of the third round.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- From Harlem to D.C., personal chef and cookbook author Kenny Minor wants you to shake up your ideas about what it means to eat healthy.
He knows because he lost over 70 pounds with his recipes. Some of his key ingredients are local and sustainable.
Watch the video to learn one of his recipes.
Tortilla Lime- Chicken Bites
(Makes about 20 pieces)
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1- 1 ½- pounds), sliced lengthwise, crosswise into bite size pieces
• 5-6 handfuls of Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips or Plain, (crush by hand, large to medium size pieces)
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• ½ cup flour
• 2 eggs, beat
• 2 limes
• ½ tablespoon of olive oil
Vegetable oil for deep -frying or about 1 ½ inch for shallow frying
Step 1) Heat oil in a medium skillet or if using deep fryer heat oil to 350-365 degrees using a deep fryer thermometer. Place chicken pieces in a large plastic freezer bag; add olive oil, garlic powder and light salt and pepper (shake to coat).
Step 2) In a shallow dish, season the flour with black pepper; lightly beat the eggs in another shallow dish. In a third shallow dish crush the tortilla chips by hand into multiple sizes (do not crumble). In batches dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess flour. Dip the floured chicken into the egg, then top the chicken with the tortilla chips (pressing slightly to form a crust). Repeat with remaining chicken. (Note: don't allow the chips to get to wet; add new crumble chips until all the chicken has been cooked)
Step 3) Once the oil is hot, in batches carefully place chicken in oil and cook until golden brown. Using a serrated spatula transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels. Squeeze fresh lime juice on chicken bites and serve along with a BBQ sauce or dipping of your choice

Mad about a Baking Session and More ClassesWednesday, July 4th, 2012
K and I first "met" when she sent me an enquiry about my extra copy of the french version of the PH book. After some email correspondence, we agreed to find a time to bake macarons together, but never got around to it. After reading my blog entry about macaron classes, K contacted me again and we finally set a date for our long overdue baking session. She requested that we make the Mogador (milk chocolate and passion fruit) and bitter chocolate macarons, flavours that her hubby and her kids had picked from the PH book.
I didn't think that passion fruits were in season and they weren't. I found a few miserably greenish ones at Marketplace; their skins were still smooth, nowhere near the wrinkled ripened state I needed them to be. I placed the fruits in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple and banana and hoped that they would ripen in time. They weren't nearly as ripe as I'd hoped when the time came to cut them open, but the juice we got from them was sufficient for our purpose.
The bitter chocolate ganache was made with 100% cacao pate. I didn't follow the instructions in the book to the T for this ganache and it broke. Oh, how I hate wasting time fixing broken ganaches! Lesson learnt, we read the instructions for the Modgador one more carefully and the ganache was smooth.
I hadn't made the Modgador macarons in a long time and was pleasantly surprised to find that his recipe did not result in macarons that turned soft very quickly. In fact, the bitter chocolate ones turned out softer.
Some other flavours I'd like to try from the PH book include the Frivolité, Caffé-Caffé, Sarah and Arabesque macarons. Apricots are in season now, so I'll have to make the Arabesque ones soon.
Incidentally, I've meet some really kind and generous people through my macaron classes. Thank you! I had such an enjoyable time teaching classes that I've decided to offer more slots until the end of August. Email me at csauleng[at]yahoo[dot]com for details!

I was delighted that Karen White, the ministries director of community and spiritual development for Inspiration Ministries, learned of the desperate need facing HOPE in Lancaster and decided to do something about it.
The response was great from the employees and the Cerullos, who also contributed a generous gift.
I too have supported HOPE. I think Elaine Adkins and her staff have done a remarkable job for Lancaster.
I wish that White would have ventured about 3 miles south of Inspiration Ministries and found the Belair United Methodist Church food bank.
The land between the Indian Land firehouse on Six Mile Creek and Edwards Road was deforested by the contractor who built the new firehouse, in conjunction with a Lancaster County contractor.
I have contacted the federal government, the county government and U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney's office about this.
A total of $1.7 million [from a FEMA grant] was spent on this project and the land was left in disrepair.
We, the citizens, helped pay for that project and we expect the land to be restored to the way it was before.
I would like to express my gratitude to Larry Honeycutt and Lancaster County Council for stepping up to support the 4-H Club of Lancaster County. Lancaster County has participated in the 4-H Club for many many years and this organization has been extremely benefical for our youth and community.
There should be a law on the books that no vehicle should be allowed on the road that does not have a spare tire. While this sounds like left field reasoning there is no chance that such a law would ever pass the Legislature because the automobile industry would have it killed it in its tracks. A requirement to provide a spare tire would eat away at the industries profit picture.
We, the employees of Belk, would like to thank The Lancaster News for promoting our Cupcakes for the Cure event on Saturday, June 9. We also would like to thank the community for coming in and supporting our event with their donations for this worthwhile cause. Since it was such a big success, we hope to do it again in the near future.
Thanks again for your support.

My earliest memory of the Lancaster Motor Speedway was going with my father in his El Camino to the pit to watch the races.
I can sit with him now, and he laughs at the many stories he remembers working as a pit crew member for his friends Don and Tommy Crump. Let's just say they were beginners. It's a timeless memory I share with my father, and now, many years later, I have begun to create the same lasting memories with my son.
On Aug. 14, 2000, the rock band Rage Against The Machine performed outside of the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles.
"Our democracy has been hijacked," lead singer Zack de la Rocha said as he addressed the crowd at the beginning of the show. "We are not going to allow these streets to be taken over by the Democrats or the Republicans."
Back then, people complained about $1.80 gas – nothing compared to recent lows of $2.88.
In Rudy Schmidt's letter to the editor, "Stop believing lies, follow the truth," in the June 29 edition, he throws Democrats into the boiling oil and equates them to the politicians who brought about the Civil War.
A history professor at the University of North Carolina said most Americans ignore the 150th anniversary of that war except Southerners.
Every time I pick up The Lancaster News, I see another murder, another home invasion, someone getting robbed and beaten, sexually assaulted or burglarized.
The pathetic (one of many) part is – it's the same person doing the crimes over and over again. We can't blame the officers who make the arrests – they're doing their jobs. They're getting them off the streets and putting them behind bars.
In John 1: 4, John writes to a friend in church and says: I could have no greater joy than to hear that our people and children are following the truth.
Our own people are not looking or following the truth today.
Letter writer Sheila Bickford claims civil rights as a Democrat supported policy.
The DNC website in its "Our Party Our History" section also starts out with a lie by saying, "For more than 200 years our party has led the fight for civil rights..."

Fire Damages Le Mars Home
(Le Mars) -- Twelve people are now without a home as a fire destroyed a victorian style home converted to apartments. Fire broke out at about 12:40 p.m. Monday afternoon with smoke that could be seen for several blocks. The structure is located at 335 3rd Avenue S.E. and sits across the street from the Franklin Elementary School. Le Mars and Merrill Fire Departments responded to the blaze with additional support from Orange City aerial truck.
It was four hours before fire officials were able to control the blaze. Le Mars Fire Chief Dave Schipper says the fire forced fire officials to take a "defensive" move to contain the fire.
Listen to
The building was listed as a total loss with damages expected to exceed $100,000. Schipper says all the tenants were able to escape the blaze and there were no injuries. Schipper says he had concerns about neighboring homes and he made the decision to battle the blaze from the top - down.
Listen to
Fire officials were able to rescue a cat from the burning structure. The cause of the fire is uncertain and is under investigation. Assisting with the fire was the Merrill and Orange City Fire Departments, Plymouth County Sheriff's office, Le Mars Police, Le Mars Water Department, Le Mars Ambulance, Iowa State Patrol, and the City of Le Mars Street Department.

Saluting Swartz
On Sunday, the Royals honored head athletic trainer Nick Swartz, who is retiring after 33 years in the organization. He has been in Kansas City for 21 years (the last 19 as the head trainer) after stops in Sarasota, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville and Omaha.
Nick threw a ceremonial first pitch (a strike) to his son, Eric, as all of the Royals players, coaches and support staff looked on. Swartz is known for his collection of Hawaiian shirts. The position players gave him a Hawaiian shirt yesterday. They then explained that he would be vacationing in Hawaii courtesy of them! The pitching staff presented Nick with a Rolex watch. FYI, Nick: Hawaii is four hours behind Kansas City, so set that Rolex accordingly! We wish Nick and wife, CeeCee, the best. Thank you for your 33 years of dedication and service to the Royals organization! You will most certainly be missed.

Similar kind of idea to the contacts import option - which I did get to work with a 200ish contacts after some minor prodding in a csv file
Most users have some form of a calendar that they will want to move to a new system without having to re-enter each appointment. Most are likely to come from an Outlook background so a csv import may be the simplest way to do this or perhaps some format that can cope with the recurrence issues.
Anything due in this light with the new shared cals for the next version?
So far impressed with the product and its progress, thanks to all of you.

|Eight foreign exchange students reflect on life in the United States
|Written by Sharlene Hart
Holyoke is proud to host eight foreign exchange students from all over the globe. These high school students have called Holyoke home since the beginning of the school year and will finish out remainder of the school term in the U.S.
Holyoke is hosting Sheng Xuezhi, from China; Tiago Cavalcanti and Vanessa Nishi, Brazil; Eveliina Rantanen, Finland; Erik Scharin, Sweden; Valerie Auersperg, Austria; Elle-Jade Megaw, Australia; and Pilu Lund, Greenland.
While in the United States these eight students have experienced a different culture, government and many different holiday celebrations.
When discussing the American culture many of the exchange students agreed that Americans are very proud people.
Auersperg commented, "Many people here are really proud of their home country America, in Austria people are not that proud." Lund added, "Most people are patriots."
When Cavalcanti was asked about American culture he said, "This country doesn't have as many social differences as Brazil does. Eveliina Rantanen said, "Americans can talk to everyone."
While in America many of the exchange students experienced a totally different style of government. Elle-Jade Megaw said, "the government is certainly different." She added, "But I agree with it." Out of the eight exchange students three said they would have voted for McCain, three Obama and two no comment/undecided in the 2008 election.
In some of the exchange students' home countries, the voting age is different than it is here in the U.S. Cavalcanti said in Brazil, the voting age is 16. In Auersperg's home country of Austria the voting age is also 16.
All eight of the foreign students have played sports while here. Megaw said, "I have played basketball and volleyball, at home I play netball. Netball is a game with seven players on a side. It is similar to basketball except a player receiving the ball must stand still until they have passed it to another player.
Auersperg excitedly said, "I play basketball, but I've never played it in Austria. I like it!" Scharin commented he has played basketball and football here, but in his home country there is no football. Nishi rode horses competitively in Brazil, while in Holyoke she is in girls' basketball.
As the students enter into the holiday break they have also seen a taste of some differences in culture. Xuezhi said the holiday traditions are "Crazy fun and amazing but totally different than China's."
While Auersperg has been in Holyoke she said she has noticed a lot of people decorate their houses. She really likes this tradition and said, "in Austria it's not that common."
Rantanen said she has noticed Americans travel more for Christmas than people in Finland. Nishi pointed out one different holiday tradition in Brazil is most people wear white on New Year's. She also said Christmas is celebrated with a midnight meal in her country.
Some holidays that are celebrated in the U.S. are not celebrated other places. Cavalcanti mentioned there is no Halloween in Brazil.
HHS has definitely left its mark on these eight students. They have experienced new adventures and met people here they will never forget for the rest of their lives. HHS has also learned a lot from these students coming from abroad.
Many of the exchange students said the memories they will remember the most about Holyoke are their host families and friends they have made here. Auersperg said she will miss her great host family.

Soul icon Smokey Robinson has exposed one of music's greatest legends as a myth – he is adamant many of Motown's biggest hits were recorded miles away from the company's famed headquarters.
The renowned record label enjoyed an unprecedented run of 110 top 10 hits in the U.S. from 1961 to 1971, for stars including The Jackson 5 and Diana Ross.
It gave the company's headquarters in Detroit, Michigan a reputation as an unrivaled songwriting Mecca, and the building even earned the name Hitsville U.S.A.
However, "The Tears of a Clown" hitmaker Robinson has now spoken out to reveal many of the label's best-known tracks were recorded at other studios, often thousands of miles away or even in another country.
He tells Uncut magazine, "People used to come from all over the world to recreate that magic, as if they could capture it in the air. But I'll let you into a secret – a lot of Motown hits weren't recorded there! A lot of the time our artists were on the road – in New York, L.A., Chicago, Nashville, sometimes even in London – and we'd book studios in these cities. I'll defy anyone who claims he can identify the songs we recorded outside of Detroit."

I'm tired of all you guys always trying to get something for nothing. I have had MLB EI for 16 years with no special deals. All those "cheaper" deals you are seeking still have to be paid for. I am paying for it!
30 days ago I booked a hotel room on the hotel's web site for 6 nights in Vegas, starting next week. Once a day since, I've taken a minute to check the price. In that month, it came down 4 times. Each time, I cancelled what I had and booked again. The bill will now be about $200 less than when I started.
Is there something wrong with that?
If not, then what's the difference with asking D* for a discount on programming?
Over the past 5 years, my D* bills have come to just under $12,000.
I've gotten discounts or free sports programming of around $1,000 retail value.
I'm guessing D* has still made a fair profit on my business.
They've just made slightly more off you!

1970 Dodge Super Bee Restoration Part 3 - Exclusive Photos! - Put a Lid On ItWritten by on December 13, 2011 Contributors: Daren Irons For the full story, check out February 2012 issue of Mopar Muscle magazine
The last time we worked on our project Bee, we had already done some rust repair to the wheel tubs of the car, the rear cross member, and then we replaced the Dutchman panel. This installment takes us to the front of the car so we can make some changes there. Originally, our Bee came with the N96 Ramcharger hood that featured two scoops leading to an under hood "box" that fed cold air to the carburetor. Knowing our planned engine wasn't going to fit under the hood, we were planning to add a hood scoop to a flat hood that we got, instead of cutting our already-factory-scooped piece.
Deciding what scoop to install was a tough decision, as Mopar offered a couple of different styles that would fit on our Bee. Someone even suggested a Cowl Induction hood, but they were quickly flogged and banished from the garage. What we did finally decide on was a scoop that catches anything in its way, and came on the '68 Super Stock cars--the Hemi A-Body scoop. It's big, in your face, and looks great on our car.
The next decision involved hood pins. Our car came with factory pins, and although they do look great on a Mopar, we thought that we could find something a little different to give our Bee a cool, modern look without detracting from the rest of the car. What we found were panel latches from a company called Aerocatch. The Aerocatch securing system is a self contained fastener that gives a modern look to an old school hood securing system. Installing both pieces meant cutting metal, so while these jobs can be completed in a day, making sure of what and where you're cutting before you do it is critical.
Since we couldn't show you all of the relative images we took of this portion of our project car build, here's a few behind the scenes shots.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
From underneath the hood, you'll need to mark the center of the carburetor/airfilter opening. We used a piece of all-thread to gently dimple the hood where the center will be.After you drill your center hole, mark the opening size to be cut out. If you don't have a fancy tool like Jack's, you can use a Phillip's head screwdriver, and a string tied to it and a pencil.Our scoop's opening is very large, so we made a couple of supports out of 1/4-inch round aluminum, and drilled and tapped both ends for button-head bolts.Now for the Aerocatch latches. The hole-provision is in the hood for the factory pins, so centering of those makes this easy.
The Aerocatch latch comes with an aluminum pin, and when installed in the factory location, you might need to shorten it a small amount.

Q&A with Everclear
Art Alexakis and crew come to PNC Pavilion with the '90s Pop/Rock Summerland tour
Everclear has joined forces with other acts that may be best described as '90s Rock and Pop groups for the Summerland Tour 2012 to get rid of the stereotype and prove their music still resonates today. Everclear saw its biggest fame with the release of the 1995 album Sparkle and Fade and the chart topper "Santa Monica." The band has continued representing its West Coast roots and just released its eighth album, Invisible Stars.CityBeat spoke with Everclear frontman Art Alexakis and discussed the Summerland tour. We also made Alexakis face a lighthearted game of quick-fire questioning which led to some very comical and real responses. Everclear will be performing at the PNC Pavilion at Riverbend tomorrow (Wednesday) alongside Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Marcy Playground and Lit.CityBeat: You guys have been out on tour for a few weeks since June. What is the craziest band on the tour?Art Alexakis: The craziest band on the tour? Crazy in which way? My band has probably got more time with therapists. Does that count? I don't know. I've got to tell you, every band is crazy in their own way. The Sugar Ray guys are just knuckleheads because they are playing '80s music and '90s Punk and singing it at the top of their lungs before every show. Lit are the party dogs. The Gin Blossoms are just old school pros and sweet guys and we are just a bunch of knuckleheads. I don't know. It depends on what time and what day you are looking.CB: I have been listening to your new album, Invisible Stars. My favorite song on the album was "Santa Ana Wind" and I wanted to see if you could tell me the story behind that song.AA: It's funny because that is one of the co-writes on the record. I had wanted to write a song about moving back to L.A. and I don't force things. If it doesn't come, I don't force it, because it always sounds disingenuous when you do. A friend of mine, David Walsh who is in a band with my old bass player, came by my studio just to hang out a little bit. I remember him sitting there and he picks up the guitar and goes, "I got this music that I just can't figure out a melody or words to it" and he just started playing it and I just started singing the melody. Within two hours, we had a song. I took it home that night and finished it, finished all the words and got all the nuances and then we went in and recorded it a week later. It is my emotional favorite song on the record, it is definitely my favorite, even though I love all the songs. I am really proud of this record, but I am glad you like that song. That song means a lot to me. It's weird because when I turned that song in, no one was talking about it as a single. I was kind of disappointed, but since the record came out, it has been the No. 1 song people write me about on Twitter and … Facebook. That is the No. 1 song, I think, that and "Jackie Robinson" is probably neck and neck. I am glad it resonated with you. I like that a lot.CB: You guys have had produced major hits. I grew up with your music and love you guys. When you are writing, do you know when you have a hit?AA: That is a real good question. I think a lot of people would be hesitant to answer that. I know when a song writes itself. I don't know if you are familiar with my song "I'll Buy You a New Life," but that song basically wrote itself in like two hours and "Santa Monica" kind of wrote itself like that, and "Santa Ana Wind" kind of wrote itself like that, and "Jackie Robinson." I had the idea for it in the music but I didn't write the lyrics until later, but when I wrote them they came out in like about an hour. Songwriting is the creative thinking. The craft part is easy for me but the creative parts, you can't control it.CB: There are definitely political tones on the new album, and I know you can be political at times. We are heading into a big election. Are you planning to do any campaign work or work with any candidates?AA: No one has asked me. I am a tried and true Democrat and a huge fan of Barack Obama, was in 2008 and still am. I think he has done a great job. He is trying to climb a mud hill uphill, straight uphill, and he is doing it. It's a hard job. I sure as hell wouldn't want that job. I'll campaign if people ask. It's not like I go out of my way. I am political because I believe everybody should be political. It is our role. It is one of our key responsibilities; it is like falling in love or working or eating. Voting is so important. I feel like it is our right and our obligation as an American. I have always felt that.CB: You guys are going out with all of these iconic '90s bands and touring. What do you feel is the state of Rock music today?AA: I don't know. That's a big, kind of $10 dollar question I don't have the answer to. From my perspective, one of the reasons I wanted to start this tour, the reason I called Mark (McGrath of Sugar Ray) to get involved and be my partner and do this thing with me was I felt there was a need for this. I was talking to a lot of people who felt very disenfranchised by contemporary Rock and Pop and felt a huge connection with the '90s era more than from a nostalgic point of view. This type of guitar Rock resonates with them and resonates with me as well. I think those are the people that are picking up on our record. We aren't on a major (label). We don't have major promotion. It seems like they are picking up every week which is bizarre because they usually go down at first. It just shows me, especially the way word of mouth on this tour has been, that my hunches were right. This isn't nostalgia. This is a valid connection with people and music. People still feel excited about it and have a great time, and I think that is what it is all about.CB: I just got a new table game and I have "Lightning Round"-sort of type of questions for you.AA: You just what type of game?CB: It's a table game. You pick it up and ask questions. You should get one for the bus. Have you ever ran away from home?AA: Have I ever ran away from home? OK. Yes. You should do your homework, missy.CB: I know. I did. That is why it is kind of funny that I drew that one first. AA: That is why you were laughing when you asked the question, you already knew the answer too.CB: Sort of. What habit would you like to break?AA: I can't say what just came to mind.CB: Yes you can. We print anything. That's the point of this. Don't think.AA: The habit I want to break is my aversion to world peace. That didn't work, did it? The habit I'd like to break is hitting on my drummer. I think it bothers him, makes him feel uncomfortable.CB: I thought you were going to say getting married or something along those lines.AA: I see where you are going. Maybe it is getting married to women half my age.CB: That may be a good habit to break.AA: I see. Just live with the band.CB: Have you ever been fired?AA: Yes. I have been fired, several times.CB: What adjectives do you hope describe you at 75?AA: Alive. Is that an adjective? That's not really an adjective, is it? Virile. Exciting. It's a working dream. It's not that far away. 75 is probably a long way off for you; it is not that far off for me.CB: I'm not that young. I'm 36.AA: You're not that young? You're older than my wife but you are younger than my ex-wife. CB: What is your best excuse when pulled over for speeding?AA: To be honest with you, I never make an excuse. I always come clean and I always get off. "I have no excuse officer. I was speeding. I was just excited to go where I want to go. I broke the law. I'm sorry. Give me the ticket." I never get a ticket. The truth is good but being in a multi-platinum band probably helps too. CB: I'll try it but I don't think it will work as well for me.AA: When girls say that, they try to cry. My ex-wife, beautiful, she was beautiful, she was an actress and she would try to cry and get away out of tickets and she always got the ticket.CB: I don't cry. I just try to make up an excuse and that doesn't work either. I am the worst driver.AA: I believe you.CB: What is the most unusual gift you ever received?AA: My wife now, when we were dating, gave me the gift of a party on my birthday that was like a role playing game, you ever done that?CB: I have done murder mysteries.AA: This was a murder mystery, but this was cool because I was a Columbian drug lord and she was a Columbian drug lord and we became partners in killing and murdering and it was awesome. It's a game. It's awesome.CB: I love it. Obviously, I am playing the table game with you right now. I like games.AA: I think you are making this up off the top of your head.CB: I am not. It is called Table Topics: Questions to Start Great Conversations. Any crazy Cincinnati stories from the past?AA: Oh yeah, but I am not telling them to you.CB: Why?AA: I have some really good Cincinnati stories. Just because.I will tell you one. I was in my room and I was at some posh hotel and I was fooling around with some people and I hit the door and … I got that, what's that called … Staph Infection.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It's becoming a familiar January scene for Nick Saban.
The Alabama coach plastered a smile on his face for a series of posed photos next to the various trophies awarded to college football's national champions and then proceeded to talk about the challenges facing his team.
Maybe Saban let the Gatorade dry from the celebratory drenching before thinking about the 2013 season. Maybe.
"The team next year is 0-0," Saban, who is on a 61-7 run over the past five seasons, said Tuesday morning. "Even though I really appreciate what this team accomplished and am very, very proud of what they accomplished, we need to prepare for the challenges of the new season very quickly with the team we have coming back. "
It didn't take Saban long to refocus after Monday night's 42-14 demolition of Notre Dame that secured a second straight BCS title, the Crimson Tide's third in four seasons and the seventh straight for Southeastern Conference teams.
Shortly after the game, he was already talking about getting back to the office by Wednesday morning.
Alabama players, meanwhile, finally were able to voice the "D-word." Center Barrett Jones said he had a Sports Illustrated cover from a couple of years ago after his last college game.
"It says, 'Dynasty. Can anybody stop Alabama?' I'll never forget looking at that thing and wondering if we really could be a dynasty," said Jones.
The 2013 team will almost certainly be regarded among the preseason favorites to get back to the summit, even though three Tide stars - tailback Eddie Lacy, cornerback Dee Milliner and right tackle D.J. Fluker - could decide to skip their senior seasons and turn pro.
Saban also emphatically tried to end speculation that he might return to the NFL, where he spent two years with the Miami Dolphins before returning to the SEC.
It was a question that really made him bristle during the 30-plus minute news conference.
"How many times do you think I've been asked to put it to rest?" Saban said. "And I've put it to rest, and you continue to ask it."
He said that experience taught him that the college ranks "is where I belong, and I'm really happy and at peace with all that."
As for the players, All-America linebacker C.J. Mosley has already said he'll return. So has quarterback AJ McCarron, who had his second straight star turn in a BCS title game.
"We certainly have to build the team around him," Saban said, adding that a late-game spat with Jones showed the quarterback's competitive fire. "I've talked a lot about it's difficult to play quarterback when you don't have good players around you. ... But I think AJ can be a really good player, maybe the best quarterback in the country next year."
Saban emphasized the difficulty of repeating and said he showed the players a video of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan saying that the first title isn't the hardest - it's the ones after that.
That's because, Saban said, "you have to have the will to fight against yourself."
Now, the 'Bama coach has four titles, including one during his stop at LSU. Saban doesn't wear the championship rings but uses them for a different purpose.
"I just put them on the coffee table for the recruits to look at," he said, cracking up the room.
Saban has already lined up another highly rated recruiting class and has the next wave of young talents waiting in the wings.

1937 Ford - Luck O' The IrishWritten by on March 1, 2005 Contributors: Rich Boyd Mike O'Brien's '37 Ford/Wild Rod Factory Pickup
PPG Citrus Yellow is a wee bit closer to a light shade of Kelly Green than we first thought. We'd be surprised if the winner of the 2004 Syracuse Nationals giveway vehicle didn't think so either.
Mike O'Brien, one of 6,500 entrants, won the Wild Rod Factory Ford giveaway truck. That's like finding the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow! Such luck might make other truck lovers look for lucky shamrocks, or at least wear green to every vintage truck show.
Building Mike's prize pickup took much more than luck. Many talented craftsmen and numerous premier parts manufacturers were involved in the project. From the Wild Rod Factory home in Quebec, Canada, the fiberglass body and fenders were shipped to the initial builder for the project. Work began at California Dreaming Hot Rods in Tonawanda, New York, where Paul Forbes fabricated the chassis. He utilized a Scott's Hot Rods & Customs IFS. Air Ride Technologies supplied a complete ShockWave airbag system for all four wheels. Horton Inc of Breslau Ontario, Canada, provided the four-link setup and Panhard bar, which located a 4.30:1-geared Ford 9-inch from Rolling Chassis of Bernard's Bay, New York. After Paul constructed the chassis, he deconstructed it and had the chassis powdercoated silver at nearby Powder Tech in Schenectady, New York. To hastily halt the state-of-the-art rolling chassis, Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation contributed its new Elite four-wheel disc brake system.
Construction did not stop there, though. Steve Nolan of Riverside Performance in Marcy, New York, built the 347ci Ford stroker engine from a '04 Ford Racing 302ci small-block. The rotating assembly was fully balanced before assembly into the blueprinted block. A Crane camshaft, Edelbrock induction, Ford Racing aluminum heads, and Mallory ignition were some of the speed shop components employed to produce an impressive 375 horsepower on the engine dyno. Before fitment of the new engine into the chassis, TPI contributed a 2,800-stall converter and finned aluminum trans-cooler-enhanced Ford AOD transmission to the cause. By installing the drivetrain between the 'rails, Tucci Engineering in Marcy, New York, took over completion of the project.
Next, the crew at Tucci's performed all the paint prep work on the Gel Coat body and fenders. They sanded and primered all of the body panels to achieve topcoat perfection. Before that could occur, East Coast Truck Accessories of Whitesboro, New York, color-matched the exterior paint and sprayed on a bedliner on the underside of the body, fenders, and running boards. Laying down the topcoats of PPG Citrus Yellow was none other than the owner and namesake of Mike Blair's Paint Shop, also in Marcy. First, allowing the vitamin C-rich paint to cure, Dave Tucci and crew put the truck panels together and began the wiring chores.
An American Autowire harness was used to wire the Haneline instruments before final fitment within the Viper-style fiberglass dash. All from Flaming River, a tilt polished billet steering column, U-joints, and shafts found a home within the cab, before mounting the Colorado Customs tan, leather-wrapped polished billet steering wheel. Once Tucci's crew installed the Lokar Performance Products auto shifter and pedals, the lucky truck was transported to Auto FX in Tonawanda, New York, for some custom stitchwork. Proprietor Dan Fink tastefully trimmed the Glide Engineering bucket seats in tan vinyl. For the finale, Dan covered the pickup bed floor and cab floor with light-brown wool carpet. The giveaway vehicle was ready for the upcoming Syracuse Nationals 2004.
Since you've read this certified true tale about an Irishman's considerably good fortune in the March issue of CCT (say on St. Paddy's Day?), perhaps the luck o' the Irish will shine upon you. If we see you at the next show 'n' shine dressed all in green, we'll know you're trying your luck. If you get to the end of the rainbow before us, will you let us photograph the next pot o' gold pickup for the pages of CCT?

This Web site is dedicated to the short story and to those interested in reading light prose.
Fewer and fewer people these days read short stories. This is unfortunate--so few will ever experience the joy that reading such fine work can give. The goal of this site is to give a nice cross section of short stories in the hope that these short stories will excite these people into rediscovering this excellent source of entertainment.
Happy reading!
