I am a very causal Dunjinni user. I'm setting up a Battletech Map for Gencon and I need some hot lava. I remember there used to be some CSAUC files for all kinds of things, and I recall seeing a few variations of lava. However I can't find anything on the PC I was using, and nothing on the net.
Thanks in advance.
That should work nicely. Thanks for the quick response.
Small problem.
The lava image is huge. Additionally it seems to put itself on the top layer, anything I try to cover it with goes underneath it so I can't hide the large size.
I found this thread on the Dunjinni forums which might be of help. Particularly this bit:
I've resized the lava as a 200 px square tile just in case. Little advice there about your layer problem too.Klarum, yes 200 pixels X 200 pixels represents a 5 foot X 5 foot square on the map, and all the floor and wall tiles are saved as such to tile neatly.
I think Kepli had a "page" of floor tiles from that alternate source, which he scaled (or cropped) to be about 6 DJ tiles square in size (1200 pixels). And loaded it into DJ as an "object", which as you know can be any size from very small to very large. (is 1200 pixels square the max I wonder?) You know what the nice side effect of that approach is ? To see any repeat in the floor tiles you need to look SEVEN tiles up, down, left, or right. The original art was drawn with each floor tile being pretty much unique.
That's my guess, anyway. DJ's promote/demote layer feature (the little up/down arrow buttons) let you keep it at "floor" level (all the way at the bottom)
I've got some various Lava renders I toyed with in Genetica. When I get back from the office tonight I will see if I can find them and post 'em here for you.
Last time I played Battletech was a long time ago, does it still use hexes? I can try to create seemless hex tiles of lava if need be.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - If Maryland defeats Wake Forest on Saturday, the Terrapins will have enough wins to qualify for a bowl bid - no small accomplishment for a team that totaled six victories over the past two seasons.
Maryland (5-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) is off to its best start since 2001. In spite of a 63-0 defeat at Florida State two weeks ago, the Terrapins are on the brink of achieving one of their main goals in coach Randy Edsall's third season at the school.
Quarterback C.J. Brown says, "It's a big week for us as a team."
Brown missed last week's 27-26 win over Virginia with a concussion. He's been cleared to play at Wake Forest (3-3, 1-2).
Maryland went 2-10 in Edsall's first season and 4-8 last year.

Lithium-Ion Battery with Multiple Intercalating Electrode Materials
Application ID: 14133
Lithium-ion batteries can have multiple active materials in both the positive and negative electrodes. For example, the positive electrode can have a mix of active materials such as transition metal oxides, layered metal oxides, olivines etc. These materials can have different design properties (volume fraction, particle size), thermodynamic properties (open circuit voltage), transport properties (solid diffusivities) and kinetic properties (intercalation reaction rate constant).
In this work, an isothermal lithium-ion battery model is presented which considers two active materials in the positive and negative electrodes. The formulation uses the available 1D isothermal lithium-ion battery interface (for a single active material) and appropriately extends it to account for two active materials in both the electrodes. Results are shown which highlight the contribution of the individual active materials during discharge.
This work suggests that the lithium-ion battery interface can be modified such that the porous electrode node allows for addition of active material(s) prior to addition of reactions, thereby accounting for multiple active materials.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A Virginia circuit court judge has set a Nov. 10 execution date for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, DC, area.
The attorney general's office had requested a Nov. 9 execution date, but Muhammad's attorney, Jonathan Sheldon said Prince William County Circuit Judge Mary Grace O'Brien delayed it one day, a Tuesday, so that government offices would be open the day before in case of last-minute court action.
Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Meyers, one of 10 people shot to death during a 2002 rampage that terrorized the Washington, DC, area.
Sheldon said Muhammad will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and ask the governor for clemency.

Greetings....I'm an engineer with Cisco and I have multiple universities who are in varying adoption plans of Zimbra for email.
Also...they are evaluating new IP-based phone systems and wish to evaluate Cisco and they are wondering what IMAP capability is available to/from Zimbra (for pulling voicemails into a universal inbox).
1. Can Zimbra accept an IMAP connection without the use of the full Zimbra Desktop?
2. If the client went with Outlook at the client end, could they pull Zimbra emails into an Outlook client via IMAP?
Thanks in advance!

I was really wondering what your thoughts on that little mod would be, I'm glad we agree that I stole a great idea from Shappers
hi r80rt can you let me know whether you were able fit the round metal plate under the new plastic cover. because I am completely flummoxe and not able to fit the two.I am certainly not happy using only the plastic cover as I feel it does not seal the filter from the other end.............any tricks, suggestion would be much appreciated.
Bradey, exactly! Unless the filter and cover are both just right one of them won't seal. I'm planning to cut out the dimple from the new cover, cover the hole with a plate, mount the fliter as usual, and then just use some foam to hold the new cover snugly in place by pressing against the outer triangle box cover.

Hello World....
We have the following Problem.
After changing to Zimbra our secretary has the problem that she is not able to send mails from the account of the boss in outlook.
I did the following:
First i gave her on the mailbox of the boss "admin rights".
I opend the mailbox of the boss on her computer with "oben mailbox from other user"
She can see all of the mails and the other stuff.
But if she says "new mail" and then put the name of the boss in the field "from" she received an error that she is not allowed to send mails in behalf of this user.

Meg Whitman struck out in the 2010 election for governor of California, but it might have been a much easier job than turning around the struggling tech firm Hewlett-Packard. HP shares are down nearly 25% this year, which makes the firm the lowest performer in the Dow Jones industrial average and Whitman's responsibilities as CEO are gargantuan. At a conference in June she said it might take "four or five years" to fix the company. Her incentive stock options could be worth millions--but only if the stock price increases 40% in the next 24 months under her watch. She turned down Warren Buffett's invitation in 2011 to join the Giving Pledge, in which billionaires agree to donate half their fortune to charity. Her net worth has grown $300 million since September 2011 thanks to a 50% surge in the value of her eBay shares.

Cancun, MX (Sports Network) - Cleanthony Early put in 25 points and was a
rebound shy of a double-double as the Wichita State Shockers got the best of
the Iowa Hawkeyes, 75-63, in a battle of unbeaten squads in the Riviera
Division championship game of the Cancun Challenge.
Early came off the bench but played a game-high 30 minutes for Wichita State
(6-0). Malcolm Armstead scored 14 points and handed out five assists while
Carl Hall added 12 points.
Aaron White tallied 14 points for Iowa (5-1) which suffered its first loss of
the season. Also in double figures for the Hawkeyes were Eric May (13), Josh
Oglesby (12) and Roy Devyn Marble (11).
Both teams shot poorly in the first half with Wichita State at 39.1 percent
from the floor and Iowa behind that at 36.4 percent. Despite that the Hawkeyes
led 35-33 at the half by hitting on 7-of-8 shots from beyond the arc.
Iowa went cold in the second half and hit on just 4-of-24 shots, including 1-
of-7 from beyond the arc. Wichita State shot 43.8 percent in the final 20
minutes to earn the win.
Wichita State pounded the Hawkeyes inside outscoring them 30-6 on points in
the paint while owning a 38-30 edge in rebounds.

As a daughter with a wonderful stepfather, I love seeing blended marriage ceremonies. Jenny and her son, Ethan, were doing just fine before Evan came along, but now life is even better.
Instead of unity candles, Jenny, Evan and Ethan held a sand ceremony to symbolize their family becoming one. It was very cool to see Ethan participate. (Of course, it was even cooler to see Ethan dance with his friends later in the evening.)
I had a great time and especially enjoyed the grilled peach salad with goat cheese and raspberry vinaigrette. I loved it so much that I later recreated it with nectarines and added toasted pecans at a 4th of July picnic. Yummo!
Well, enough from me chatting about culinary adventures. Onto this gorgeous wedding, which happened to also have BEAU-TI-FUL light and fantastic friends and family.

I am curious on the feelings now that we are on the second coach since he left. Did Pollard make a good move sending him down the road? If you feel it was a good move now, will you still feel the same way if the new coach does not have any success?
In all honesty I am one of those Hawkeye fans that only want Iowa State to lose one game. After that I hope they run the table. I had alot of respect for Dan McCarney. I felt when Pollard fired him that it was not a good move. He had the football program at a very respectable level.
It was the right move. Had to be done. Always will be the right move.
It was the right move in my mind
It was and is still the right move.
Definitely a good move. McCarney may have had us at a respectable level, but I think it is pretty certain that after 12 years he had gotten us as far as he could.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm very grateful to Dan for what he did here, but I'd rather try to win a conference championship and fail than accept 7 win seasons as being the best we can do.
Just because Gene turned out to be a horrid game manager and prematurely bolted does not make Dan a better Big 12 head coach.
It was the right move. Let it go.
It was a good move. McCarney's mistakes had not only caught up with him, but snowballed.
Go Cyclones!
I liked Dan and think he is a great Cyclone, but it was time for a change. He had hit a wall where his conservatism was hurting him. 12 years is a long time. Chizik at the time, was the right move. He said all the right things and had promise.
CPR is basically DMac 2.0. I think they are both very similar in style and coaching. CPR knows that he will win at ISU, he's been apart of it and knows what it takes. IMO, its not a matter of if CPR wins, but when.
My Signature says all you need to know about DMac.
Dan was done.
Good move by JP.
It needed to be done. Dan had 2 shining opportunities to win the North fall right in his lap, and he ****** them away in the exact same fashion. He never learned from his mistakes. The same mistakes that cost him the North in 2004 cost him the North in 2005. These same mistakes had cost him potential big wins against Wyoming, K-State (1999), etc.
As others have said, I am forever grateful for what he did here, but it was time to move on. All of Pollard's firings have been the right move in my eyes. The hirings have been worse than any reasonable person could expect. It's like getting rid of a Mazda, buying a Lexus, and then it turns out to be a lemon. I find Hawk fans' universal hatered/disapproval of Pollard to be a sign that he is doing his job well.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
It was the right move. Mac only had 3 wins in his last year as well. With seriously lagging ticket sales and other things, a lot of fans started becoming complaisant and not even caring anymore. No way we have the stadium additions or the basketball facility without the move.
Now, Dan might have turned it around AGAIN, but for how long a year or two? Then another 4 win or so season. he didnt have the asst coaches in place to get it done and he wouldnt fire them to make it happen.
Good move then, now, and always.
Oh boy... I can't wait for my favorite poster to show up...
It was what had to be done. I do believe that the farther we get away from the Dan McCarney era, the more we will realize what he did for our program. I look at him similar to what Johnny Orr is to our basketball program. He didn't coach the team during the really good years but he set up the program to allow the later coaches to succeed.

Fate Of Plan On Shaky Ground
Ohio Medicaid fight affects thousands near poverty line
April 29, 2013
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The debate over whether Ohio should make health care coverage available to more low-income residents has been framed largely by numbers and dollar signs....
"Give"? How much do we "take" from those who are already struggling to make their OWN payments?
How about Opie takes fewer vacations and direct the money to health care in the USA. A few BILLION $$$ should help.

May 25, 2016
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Silent protests are taking place a day after Republicans converted Michigan from a seemingly impregnable fortress of organized labor into a right-to-work state.
Protesters covered their mouths with tape Wednesday with the words "$1,500 less" written on it in reference to wage cuts they expect.
The protest was in contrast to the day before. The state House swiftly approved two bills reducing unions' strength Tuesday, one dealing with private-sector workers and the other with public employees, as thousands of furious protesters at the state Capitol roared in vain.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed the measures into law within hours, calling them "pro-worker and pro-Michigan."

Mountains of Gold and Bonko Black Sun (!)
I added two new lots today. Costa Rica Tarrazu -Montes de Oro is from a small Micro Mill and farm run by Emilio Gamboa and his family. In a cupping with Costa Rica farmers here at Sweet Maria's a month ago, this coffee impressed everyone, and it still does today! It is also one of the early lots in which we are transitioning to our new scoring system! Check it out. We have used the new numbers on our second lot too, another stellar dry-processed Ethiopia in a season of gems; Ethiopia Organic DP Bonko "Black Sun." (It's our new favorite name too). -Tom

Tufo Valve Extender $0.00
Aerodynamic wheels are a godsend when it comes to speed. The reduction in wind drag is exponentially tied to your speed, and no one who's serious about training or racing would be caught dead without them on a ride that really counts. Nobody but nobody disputes their performance value, and in fact, the only criticism anyone would ever throw out there is how tough it is sometimes to air the darn things up. Whether you've got 25mm deep Mavic Ksyriums or 58mm deep Zipp 404s, it's all-too-common for air to leak out of the typical thread-on-the-outside style valve extenders. There are a number of solutions that range from tiny O-rings to the use of plumbers tape to seal the extender against the stem. However, if the stem has a removable core, the wrench flats pretty much ruin your chances of a good seal and you'll often hear "psssssssssssssssssst" as you attempt to pump up the tire. How much air goes out the leak and how much gets in the tire is anyone's guess.
Tufo brought innovative thinking to the flawed universe of valve extenders. Rather than threading on the outside of your tube's valve stem, with the Tufo extender you'll actually unthread your existing presta valve core, insert Tufo's extender, then thread the valve into the tip of the extender. You're literally building a seamless extension of your valve stem, so your days of leaks are over. It's a brilliant solution, especially for tubular tires.
The extenders are available in 10mm increments from 20 - 60mm. Add this length to the length of your existing valve and you'll know how long the valve will ultimately be. Two notes: (1) These extenders are compatible only with clincher tubes and tubular tires that have removable valve cores, except for Michelin's clincher tube. (2) The extender is built with tiny wrench flats built to work with Tufo's valve tool. We sell this tool, and it costs just a couple of dollars. Do yourself a favor and buy the Tufo tool along with the extenders. It'll ease the installation process.
These extenders are sold per extender, so please buy two to equip a set of wheels.

Best valve extenders out there
If you have inner tubes with removable valve cores, pick these up and stop messing with those terrible regular valve extenders. These screw directly into the valve (with the valve core removed) and creates an actual extension to the stem.

Since we used 8.0.0 we didn't had any problems for adding "check_recipient_access hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_recipients" (into smtpd_recipient_restrictions options) in the postfix's main.cf and it worked just fine.
Now, we've upgraded to 8.0.3 and adding this line to postfix, and reloading the postfix system, the line is automatically removed.
Any ideas how to add this check for some groups that we need to be closed for the outer world?

GREENSBORO � North Carolina A&T State University says it plans to outsource the operation of its campus bookstore because of a decline in sales in the last five years.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports that the school's trustees were told Friday that bookstore sales have decreased 15.7 percent between 2007 and 2012. The decline was pinned on textbook sales. At the same time, personnel expenses for the bookstore have increased.
Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Robert Pompey said students are shopping around for competitive book prices, and are buying books online and at used bookstores.
A&T operates its bookstore, but plans to seek proposals within the next few weeks from other companies to manage the store. The bookstore at nearby UNC Greensboro is managed by Barnes & Noble.

(Washington) - The Helsinki Commission will hold a public briefing on:
"The War in Chechnya and Russian Civil Society"
Thursday, June 17, 2004
2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
2325 Rayburn House Office Building
Panelists will be:
Valentina Melnikova, National Director, Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia
Natalia Zhukova, Chairperson, Nizhny Novgorod Committee of Soldiers' Mothers
Valentina Melnikova, National Director, Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia
Natalia Zhukova, Chairperson, Nizhny Novgorod Committee of Soldiers' Mothers
The "Committees of Soldiers' Mothers" has become the largest NGO in Russia as an umbrella organization embracing nearly 300 groups and thousands of members. Founded in 1989, the organization publicizes and combats human rights violations in the Russian armed forces, such as hazing or abusive treatment. Committee members also arrange legal help for conscripts and their families, consult on legislation affecting military and alternative service, and press for improved living conditions for military personnel.
The Committees of Soldiers' Mothers have opposed the Kremlin's conduct of the war in Chechnya and have accused the Russian Government of consistently under-reporting the number of Russian military casualties in the conflict.
Meanwhile, recent verbal attacks by President Putin and other Russian officials on human rights organizations and their funding sources raise concerns about the future of Russian NGOs that may be viewed by the government as politically hostile.
An un-official transcript will be available on the Helsinki Commission's Internet web site at www.csce.gov within 24 hours of the briefing.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords.

Teen conservative and Smart Girl Politics activist Bethany Bowra (@bethanybowra) interviewed me for the latest installment of Smart Girl Politics' "Youth in Action" series profiling young conservative female activists. Those of you who know me are familiar with my hold-no-prisoners approach to conservative politics, anti-Communist tendencies, and desire to lure in more young people to our movement.
I hope my thoughts and sentiments in this interview inspire other freedom-loving youngsters to speak out and reject collectivism. Without a doubt, we must encourage more young conservatives…especially young conservative females.
While Planned Parenthood and Democrat women in Congress claim to speak for all women, these young women have something to say about that. Contrary to popular belief, those groups do not speak for all young women— many young women my age have views that are quite the opposite. Below is my interview with conservative activist, Gabriella Hoffman!
Why did you get involved in politics?
I got involved in conservative politics because of my parents. My mother and my father are Lithuanian immigrants who escaped from Soviet communism 27 years ago. The Left's policies remind them too much of the Old Country, so conservatism came naturally to them. Their stories and perspective on life really brought me to conservatism. Both sides of my family suffered immensely in the former Soviet Union. I'm in this fight to honor their memories and remind people that freedom must be safeguarded for future generations to come.
How did you get involved?
In 2006 when I was 15, I started writing a column in a local Orange County, CA community paper, The Coto Voice, called "Teen Beat." I maintained this column for three years. I primarily focused on topics ranging from volunteering in high school to upholding traditional values. After I graduated from high school and moved onto college, I began to write about politics for The California Review, the conservative paper at UC-San Diego. From there, I went onto running a YAF chapter and hosting David Horowitz on campus- an event which landed on national news. After the event garnered a lot of attention, I started working for The Rick Amato Show as an Executive Assistant and landed a coveted role at Eagle Forum of San Diego as the Director of Youth Outreach. I also started blogging for various websites and publications.
What issues have you been focused on since you became active?
I'm a firm believer in sound conservatism (social and fiscal conservatism), and I also believe in strong national defense. During my time at UC-San Diego, I heavily focused on support for Israel (I have family there and support a healthy U.S.-Israel relationship) and exposing militant leftists on campus. I also exposed radical feminism and openly condemned the Vagina Monologues. Now, I concentrate on a plethora of issues ranging from traditional values to Israel advocacy to media/leftist/campus bias to free enterprise.

Yes, that's quite a long name for a wine! I really love to taste the whites of Burgundy, especially the really good ones like this. We tasted this wine next to the Kistler Durell Vineyard Chardonnay that I reviewed a couple wines back. It was really quite a stark contrast of style, weight, and ideology to be fair. While the Kistler was massively structured with a heavy and viscous texture, this wine held every bit as much presence and actually showed far more complexity and purity of fruit.

Keeping Our CoolWritten by on June 25, 2004 Installing a Classic Auto Air A/C Unit in Our Resident '67 Chevy
When you're a young hot rodder, having air conditioning in your classic truck is the last thing on your mind. How fast and how low your ride is are the priorities, and there isn't much time or money budgeted for anything else. After a few summers of driving out to shows and cruising, however, most of us (especially here in the sweltering Southwest) come of age pretty quickly and decide that an air-conditioned cruiser is less of a luxury and more of a necessity. The same obviously holds true in the sunshine state, where over 26 years ago, Al Sedita began supplying OE-style A/C units for non-equipped Mustangs.
Today, a quarter century later, Classic Auto Air Manufacturing Co. has a massive inventory of factory air/heat parts and model-specific climate-control systems for nearly every popular year, make and model car or truck from the '70s and up. When searching for an A/C system for our '67 Chevy longbed, we quickly settled on Classic Auto Air's Perfect Fit Series climate-control system made just for this body-style truck. The in-dash heat/cool and defrost system replaces the old heater/defrost box, cleans up the firewall, and achieves the sought-after factory air look. This kit is also available with your choice of factory-reproduction, trick billet ball, or under-dash mounted louvers for those not wanting to drill their dash. Kits come complete with the heater/A/C unit (also known as the power pack), ducting, flex hose, firewall block off, louver kit and components to modify the existing control panel, condenser, receiver lines, fittings and hoses, and even a new glovebox lining made of ABS plastic. Classic Auto Air also recommends the use of a Sanden air compressor for their many superior qualities and supplies them with any of the necessary bracketry from Alan Grove components.
Once the system arrived via UPS, we wasted no time outfitting the '67 in our Tech Center. With the last fitting tightened, we tested the system and were truly impressed at the amount of air blowing out of the ducts. All that was left was leak-checking and charging the system, which was left to the professionals and their mobile charging unit. For more information on this or any unit available from Classic Auto Air or their restoration service for all factory A/C units, be sure and contact them using the information in the source box.

This Perfect Fit Series climate control system from Classic Auto Air is made specifically for '67-72 GM trucks. It comes complete with the heat/air condition/defrost power pack, along with all the necessary ducting, flex hose, factory-style dash louvers, firewall block-off plates, a new ABS glovebox, and all the necessary hardware to modify your existing control panel.Included for the engine side of the install are the condenser and receiver, all hoses, lines and O-rings, and the pressure switch and hardware. Also pictured is the Sanden Compressor that Classic Auto Air recommends to get the most performance from all their systems and the brackets from Alan Grove Components necessary to mount it to the passenger side of a small-block Chevy engine.The first step was to remove the control unit from the '67's dash. It is held on by two large Phillips screws from the underside of the dash.Now the screws around the heat distribution box were removed and the entire unit, along with the attached flex hose, was removed.As per Classic Auto Air's detailed directions, this section of the firewall was trimmed out with a cut-off wheel and discarded.
Now the power pack was placed on the bench for final assembly. First the defrost duct was attached to the back of the unit with two screws. Just above that, the control cable was attached to the door crank arm.As per the diagram, the harness was attached to the thermostat, blower motor, and micro switches. The other end plugs into the new switch for the control panel.The other supplied control cable was fed through the small hole in the block-off plate. Then the insulation was cut so the heat and A/C tubes could slide into place.With the unit held up in place on the firewall and in a level position, it was attached with the two screws in the upper support and one in the lower mount.Since we opted for the factory-style in-dash louvers, as opposed to the under-dash versions, we had to begin our dash cuts. With the supplied templates, we marked out the driver- and passenger-side cuts and drilled accordingly with a 2 1/4-inch hole saw.The center louver, located just above the radio, is a bit more tricky. After marking out the area with the template, 1/2-inch pilot holes were drilled at each edge of the cut. Then a cut-off wheel was used to cut through the top and bottom portion of the area.
Now the supplied factory reproduction center louver was attached. It was secured from the backside with two screws through the hose adapter.During disassembly, we noticed that both the defrost vents and control panel had seen better days--so we picked up each of them brand new from Brothers Trucks in Corona, CA. Working with these new parts instead of the broken/brittle parts made the next few steps a whole lot easier.All of the ducting was laid out, and the flex hose was cut into the required lengths as per the directions.The two defrost hoses were secured to the adapters with a screw, which are in turn clipped to the vents. Just to be safe, we wrapped each assembly with a layer of duct tape. The flex hose for the three A/C ducts was also routed at this time.The face duct was installed onto the power pack, and the three A/C hoses were attached to its specific duct according to the directions.Before our new factory-style control head can be installed, it must be modified. The stock blower switch was removed, and the supplied mounting bracket was mounted in its place.The new blower switch was then attached to the bracket with two screws. Then the supplied linkage attaches it to the center lever pin.At this point, there were three loose wires that needed to be attached. The brown power wire was cut from the old switch harness and attached to the red/white wire from the blower switch. Then the ground wire was screwed to a clean area of the firewall. Finally, the remaining blue wire was routed along the control cable through the firewall.
The heat door cable and water valve cables were attached and adjusted to make sure that each was moving as far in each direction as possible.Our new Brothers control panel was installed into the dash and secured with the two screws. Then, finally the new ABS plastic glovebox was installed using the stock hardware. With the work inside the cab now complete, it was time to move into the engine compartment.First to be installed was the condenser assembly. That required the removal of the battery and then the hood latch assembly, followed by the upper radiator support bolts. As per the directions, the four mounting brackets were mounted to each corner of the condenser. Then the receiver dryer was mounted to the passenger side of the condenser using the mounting bracket. The first liquid tube was attached from the dryer to the condenser using the supplied O-rings and a few drops of mineral oil. This is the procedure for all of the line fittings.In order to achieve a factory look up front, three holes must be drilled in the core support. The first of which is for the upper line off of the condenser to pass through. After test-fitting the condenser, it was marked and drilled accordingly.With the hole drilled and the upper line attached, the "out" line for the dryer must run through the bulkhead. It was mocked up, marked, drilled, and attached. Now the condenser was secured to the core support permanently.Directly in front of the bulkhead connector on the backside of the core support, the final hole was drilled for the line to pass through.Classic Auto Air recommends using this Sanden compressor with their systems whenever possible. It is supplied with brackets from Alan Grove Components for any mounting application. It makes for an easy install.As you may remember from last month, however, we equipped our new Pace Performance 350 with a complete serpentine accessory kit from GM Performance Parts. Since their incorporated bracket for the R4 compressor was already in place, we opted to use the GM R4 compressor for this particular application. At this point, the belt and dummy pulley were removed.
The compressor was dropped into place and attached with the bolts that held the dummy pulley in place. The serpentine belt was also reattached.The liquid hose is straight at both ends and first attaches to the bulkhead fitting. Just above it, the discharge hose was attached.Then the smaller discharge hose is first attached to the compressor, followed by the suction hose from the firewall.Now the other end of the liquid hose attaches to the upper fitting on the firewall. The suction hose from the compressor attaches to the lower fitting.The high/low-pressure switch was mounted to the port on the top of the dryer. One of the wires was then routed to attach to the blue wire that we ran through the firewall earlier. The other runs to the compressor clutch switch.New heater hoses were run from the intake manifold and water pump to the fittings on the firewall. The water valve was fit inline, and the cable was attached and double-checked so that is moves from fully closed to fully open.The clutch switch was attached and plugged into the compressor. The other wire is a ground that mounts elsewhere on the compressor.

My organization is planning to move from Mercury Mail (POP3) to Zimbra Network Edition. Being the lone wolf sys admin in a small company with about 30 employees, I wanted to pitch my thoughts for a migration scenario plays out in my mind to see if my thoughts are correct and if there is anything I am missing, gotcha's, etc.
The Mercury mail server sits behind a firewall with a private address 10.xx.xx.xx. There is a public IP 200.xx.xx.xx which ties to our email domain externally www.our-companyxyz.com. There is an existing internal dns Alias (CName) mercurymail.ourcompany.com tied to the fqdn for the domain www.our-companyxyz.com, an MX for ourcompany.com tied to the internal 10.xx.xx.xx address with a priority of 10. There is also a static A record tying the internal IP to the hostname of the Mercury mail server.
Mercury being POP3 really is a good thing as far as migration is concerned since there is no data on the server. I guess I am just trying to play out in my mind how to transition as seamlessly as possible. I would like to set the Zimbra server up the same way as Mercury in the sense that the Private/Public setup will be the similar, using the next available addresses in each IP range both internally and externally.
Here is what I am struggling with. I want Zimbra up and fully functional using the same domain name www.our-companyxyz.com (at least internally) before the migration, even if it can only respond by public IP address externally and private IP address internally rather than domain name since it is already in use by Mercury. This is because we need to be able to test mobile phone access and webmail before the migration.
Now of course I want Mercury to be the primary mail server up until the point I flip the switch. Should I simply utilize the same 200.xx.xx.xx external address (existing Mercury mail) as it will still be tied to www.our-companyxyz.com for external use. Is this even an option to consider? And about flipping the switch, will that consist solely of altering the MX record to reflect the new internal address? What am I missing here. Thanks in advance.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) - Not again. That's what some people who live and work in Old Town, Alexandria are saying as the town is bracing for flooding Tuesday. Even before high tide hit at 9:37 p.m. Tuesday, water was rising and flooding the intersection of King and N. Union Streets.
Volunteers handed out free sandbags in front of City Hall from 4-6 p.m.. Volunteer Shawn Hart says not everyone took them up on their offer, but the precaution is important to take. "I would say they are, I mean, take the chance, put the sandbags up, not lose your property, " he said.
King Street, overlooking the Potomac, is no stranger to looking like Venice. Many were hoping post-Sandy high tides won't be as punishing as Isabelle was. We saw many people stand in the water, posing for photo-pops, ride bicycles through it, and drive their cars, SUVs and even firetrucks through it.
Allison Ladd, and Ibn Spicer from SW DC, came to the Anchor Bar on King Street to have a drink, and check out the sights. Another woman, who would not give her name, was carrying full-body plastic bags to wear as she prepared to watch the high tide. When asked why, she said simply, "Curiosity."
High tide is expected again at 10:04 a.m. Wednesday.

Navistar RV assets purchased by Allied Specialty Vehicles
ELKHART — Florida-based Allied Specialty Vehicles increased its presence in the Elkhart area with two purchases about a week apart.
Navistar International Corp. announced Thursday, May 16, that ASV had purchased Navistar RV's assets, including facilities in Wakarusa. ASV's Chief Operating Officer Jim Meyer said that all 520 employees at the Wakarusa manufacturing facility would be affected.
"We will stop taking manufacturing orders for Wakarusa," said Meyer Thursday afternoon during a phone interview. "We will continue to complete the orders they have, which will take us into August."
After August, Meyer said the manufacturing operations in Wakarusa will be moved to ASV's Decatur, Ind., location. Wakarusa employees will be able to apply for jobs open in Decatur.
"(Operations in Wakarusa) will end over the course of this year," said Meyer. "We are in the process now of looking for someone in the industry to purchase the facility. Our goal is to make any gap or transition time (for employees) as small as we can."
He added, "There are great people here (in Wakarusa) and we want to see all of these people employed. We are going to get everyone through this as compassionately as we can."
There will be no changes for employees at the Elkhart facility.
"After looking at this every which way, the answer was to move the Wakarusa production to Decatur but to leave the Elkhart production the way it is," said Meyer.
Meyer added that ASV's main goal is to restructure the Monaco and Holiday Rambler RV businesses.
"In order to restore the businesses and the brand, which we are very excited about for the future, we are going to need to take action," said Meyer.
On May 6, Elkhart's Thor Industries announced that it had sold its ambulance division, SJC Industries, to ASV.
Meyer said that the two recent purchases in the Elkhart area are purely coincidental.
"Our goal is to be a great company that produces specialty vehicles," said Meyer. "The timing of the two acquisitions is coincidental. These were the first two acquisitions we've undertaken in a year, and they just happened to be back to back."
Navistar spokesman Steve Schrier said in February that the company was looking for offers for the RV business. Navistar ventured into the RV business in 2009, when it purchased Monaco RV. Monaco RV was later renamed Navistar RV.
In a statement Thursday, Navistar's Chief Operating Officer Jack Allen said that Navistar will continue to focus on its North America core businesses.
"ASV will be able to create more value in the (RV) business than we could ourselves," said Allen.

1. Today's grads are tomorrow's CEOs: Why cybersecurity education is so important
The fact is that information security has evolved past the purview of just cybersecurity specialists and IT experts. While, the 2013 IBM CISO Assessment called for security leaders to become more business focused. The reverse needs to happen as well. Business leaders must have a solid understanding of information security and cybersecurity issues.

2. Transforming the Healthcare industry with a foundation of information
One aspect of healthcare delivery that will revolutionize the industry over the next few years is the value-based care model. Personalized data will not only redefine the delivery of care, but moreover how it is measured and valued for payers, providers, and patients alike. As we move toward a more mature model that places the emphasis on cost, quality, and outcomes – the delivery of care will evolve simultaneously.

Sarasota, Florida -- Statues and sculptures of all sorts grace the grounds of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. But now, one is missing; it's a slender piece called "Endogenae".
"I've heard different descriptions," says museum Collections Manager Francie Hack. "One person described it as teardrops stacked on top of another."
Photo Gallery: Stolen Ringling Museum of Art sculpture
And now museum officials could shed a few tears. The bronze sculpture was donated to the museum in 1968 by the wife of its creator, the now-deceased American artist A. Arlie Sinaiko.
A groundskeeper on Tuesday noticed the statue was missing. It had been ripped from its base and police suspect it was stolen to sell for scrap metal.
But if whoever swiped the 5-footer expects to get a bronze bounty, they'll be disappointed. A scrap yard told 10 News that bronze is going for about $1.80 a pound. So if the statue weighs about 50 pounds, .the thieves will clear less than a hundred bucks.
"It's just a very sad thing," says Hack, "Because they're irreplaceable and the few dollars you get out of it by making it into scrap metal are definitely not what it's worth as an artwork."
While museum officials say their security is tight, there is no surveillance tape of the heist and police say the last time anyone really remembers seeing the sculpture is back in September. So that makes the artwork's recovery a long shot.
Even so, the museum hopes "Endogenae" will somehow find its way home. Hack says, "It belongs at the Ringling, yes."
If you know anything about this crime, you're urged to call the Sarasota Police at 941-366-8000 or the Registrar's office at the museum at 941-359-5700 ext. 1501. You can remain anonymous.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- An exciting
new off-road racing series sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association
will recognize the best youth desert racers in America in 2013. The AMA Youth
Hare & Hound National Championship Series will follow the AMA FMF/GPR Hare
& Hound National Championship Series and feature nine rounds across
California, Idaho, Utah and Nevada.
"We're pleased to work with the National Hare & Hound Association on
the new youth national championship series, giving our youngest desert racers
an opportunity to compete next to the country's top riders," said AMA
Off-Road Manager Chuck Weir. "The NHHA is doing an excellent job of
fostering ingenuity in desert racing in America, and this is another example of
how this productive relationship is helping to enhance one of the AMA's most
historic national championship series."
In past years, individual clubs may have held youth competitions in conjunction
with rounds of the national series. However, those rounds would not pay series
points or provide AMA national-level recognition. For 2013, youth classes will
award an AMA national title, and the AMA and NHHA will recognize riders for
their accomplishments in the overall series. In addition, thanks in part to the
higher-profile treatment of the youth classes, additional prizes and
sponsor-provided awards will be available.
"The NHHA is really excited about the addition of the youth national
series," said NHHA Series Promotions Manager Chris Blais. "This is a
great opportunity for the young riders to get a little taste of desert racing
at its best. These kids are the future of our sport, and we want to give them
the opportunities we had as kids to race, have fun and become champions!"
Blais added that while some elements of the series will be uniform to provide a
consistently high-profile experience for youth racers, each round will also
have a certain level of variety -- particularly in terms of the courses, which
clubs will use to showcase local terrain.
Events in California will run a 5-mile course for all youth classes except the
Pee-Wee and Micro classes that will use a 2.5-mile course. Races also may be
slightly different durations, although most should fall within a 45-minute to
1.5-hour time frame. Dead engine mass starts will be used, just like with the
big bikes, and pro riders from the national series will participate as race
starters and fans during each event.
The schedule is below. Detailed rules and specific class information are
available at www.nationalhareandhound.com.

Washington, DC (WUSA) - In the wake of the Manti Te'o faux girlfriend scandal, many are wondering how could he have not known?
The practice of "catfishing" is the subject of a show on MTV, that aims to uncover the truths and lies of online dating, and a local woman told her story of being "catfished" on the show's second episode. Trina "the Natural" sat doen with WUSA9 to explain how the phenomenon could potentially happen to anyone.
The Silver Spring model/dancer says she started talking to a man named Lee after meeting on Myspace. They carried on an online relationship for about a year. Lee sent Trina three pictures during that time, but it turns out they were of someone else.
The show brought Trina and Lee together, and Trina was faced with the reality that the man she fell in love with over the phone was 32 instead of 27, had four children instead of two, and did not have the six-pack abs and model good looks seen in the pictures.
"It was so heartbreaking, I'm talking to a guy who I'm thinking is this guy, and the whole time, it's another guy with a whole different background, got family, kids, you know, things of that nature , and I'm 24 years old thinking we share the same, similar dreams and things like that and everything was a fake."
"I wish that the one I was talking to pretending as Scorpio was really the one."
Trina says she believes this can happen to anyone.

This report focuses on the effects of migration on political extremism in North America, Western Europe, and Central and Eastern Europe. The author explores nativist reactions, analyzes the role of migration in the identity and discourse of nativist actors, examines public effects of their impact on migration policies, and summarizes ways in which states respond to anti-immigrant extremism.
This report provides a comprehensive profile of the immigrant population in Napa County, CA. It examines the effect of immigration on the county's demographic trends and calculates the economic contributions of immigrants as well as their impact on government revenues and expenditures.
This brief examines the complex issues surrounding labor migration from Colombo Process countries. It discusses the progress made—and the policy challenges that remain—with regard to creating efficient and equitable labor migration systems.
The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.
The economic consequences of emigration on migrants' countries of origin have long been studied, yet the precise assessment of positive and negative impacts remains complex. This analysis finds that Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration when considering remittances and labor markets.
