1934 Ford Coupe - Born-Again Hot RodWritten by Eric Geisert on February 6, 2014 Praise the Lower'd!
Just the Facts
Year: 1934
Make: Ford
Model: Three-Window
Owner: Doug Jerger
State: Arizona
Most folks have probably heard the old saying that you "can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear", meaning, of course, there are some things you just can't make better, no matter how hard you try.
But Doug Jerger, owner and chief painter at Squeeg's Kustoms in Chandler, Arizona, probably prefers the old fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling", where an unattractive barnyard bird transforms itself into a beautiful swan.
Either way, Doug has a good eye for hot rods, and his shop has built a string of exemplary rods in the past five years, including some magazine cover cars as well as a winner of the prestigious America's Most Beautiful Roadster award in 2011. But Doug's talents also lie in other areas, too, and one of them is to find good-looking hot rods where others have not. It isn't so much that he's located a secret stash of pristine, virgin metal waiting to be hopped up, but rather he's found them right under everyone's noses.
While some people wouldn't give what most would consider an ugly car their time of day, Doug has learned to look past what is on the surface to what is underneath, and worked with the sub-structure to create a whole new (and desirable) hot rod.
When you think about it, what are the basics of a great hot rod? A powerful motor? The perfect stance? A certain attitude? All those things come into play, but Doug discovered if all those factors aren't immediately present in a potential candidate, then they readily can be, which is where his expertise and good eye comes back into the picture.
Everyone can spot the things that make a car appear it was built in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s. A gas tank made from an old Coors beer keg? Straight outta the 1970s. No door handles or hood louvers plus a mono-chromatic paintjob? You can hear the 1980s calling on your brick-sized cell phone. Gray tweed interiors with peach-colored heartbeat graphics down the beltline of your Gumby-green pride and joy? Then you can probably also remember the first Bush presidency pretty well.
No doubt over the decades there have been thousands of hot rods built, and most of them from the last few decades of the 20th century are still around in their original appearance. But all of the items that can tie a car to a certain era can be changed easily so they, in effect, can become born again in a new (and certainly more desirable) form.
That's what Squeeg's was able to do with, by anyone's account, an outdated hot rod Doug found in California one day while looking around on Craigslist. But Doug saw the good in what was there: a running 454 motor and a desirable body type to start with. So he and his buddy, Jason Wolfswinkel, picked up the project and started on the car's deconstruction.
The concept was to build a hot rod in the truest sense of the words—not a lot of frills or creature comforts—the type of car that both terrifies and attracts little boys standing on the corner holding their father's hand when it rumbles by. Something primal. But the other side of the coin was it needed to be able to be done on the cheap so no one had to worry about the overall cash layout and, instead, just enjoy driving it.
The first week was spent tearing all the unwanted stuff off. The flamed tweed interior (and headliner) came out, and the flamed valve covers came off. What was salvageable ended up being taken to the swap meet and sold to finance more parts, some of which were from the same swap meets.
In the second week they decided to cut the roof. The coupe, made from fiberglass, already had a small chop performed "at the factory" but in order to get the car to look a bit more evil, a couple more inches had to come out. Both the windshield and rear window had been glued in, so Jason got the hammer out and smashed all of the glass out. Since the "factory" roofline already took into account the need to stretch the roof for a chop, all Doug had to do was lean the posts back a little more to get the desired profile.
Being that the exterior of the roof was smooth, Doug ordered a blank insert from Walden Speed Shop, which is normally used to fill a stock roof opening. Doug had recently bought a louver machine, so he filled the roof insert with louvers and then riveted the panel in place on the roof. He also ordered a two-piece hood top for the 1934, then added more louvers there. The last bit of new louvers added are found on the decklid, which is actually a louvered panel that is glued to the 'glass lid. One of the biggest changes to the car's exterior appearance was the addition of the Wheel Vintiques 16x4 and 16x7 steelie wheels (wrapped in Firestone 4.00 and 7.50 rubber). You just can't overstate the importance of having the "right" set of wheels and tires on a hot rod—it'll either make it or break it—and these were the perfect addition to complete the specific look of this vehicle.
Inside the car the dash had been cut full of holes, so Doug used some of the spare aluminum from the shop to fab a new dash, filling it with Classic Instrument gauges. Another little trick was with the car's door hinges. When looking at the car, you notice they're in the right place (in the quarter-panel) but it isn't until you open the door that you see they are attached only to the quarter-panel, and don't swing with the door. They're just for decoration because Doug didn't want to change the hidden hinges that were already in place, so he bought a set of cast brass hinges from Wescott's and added them just for giggles.
The paint on the coupe was in good shape, but not the right color; Doug originally thought suede maroon would be right for the car. Thinking the car was looking more like a lakes racer, he went back to the Internet to research vintage Bonneville race car colors. Most of what he found was in the family of whites, so he decided on a PPG Custard base/clearcoat combination and then sprayed it in Squeeg's on-site booth. Wanting a vintage appearance, the paintjob ended when it rolled out of the booth—no wet-sanding or cutting was done and what little orange peel that was in the finished product was left there. Doug did add some pinstripe to the beltline, and Scott Burns came by to hand paint the Mobilgas logo on the quarter-panels (done so well people think it's a sticker).
The tunnel ram that was on the car came off in favor of a swap meet find, which was powdercoated before being bolted up with a single 650 carb. Doug also fab'd up an exhaust system made from pieces laying around his shop, and added a powdercoated air cleaner that was also surplus. The MSD ignition that was on the car was left in place, though a Squeeg's Kustoms plug wire separator kit was installed. And though the TH400 trans found in the coupe seemed to work well, Doug took apart the ratcheting shifter and deactivated the lock-out mechanism so it would shift like a standard shifter. About the only other addition was the flat four-spoke steering wheel from SO-CAL Speed Shop in Arizona.
The car was turning out the way they wanted, even though the interior wasn't finished. Finding it fun to drive, Doug was out cruising around Phoenix one evening when another driver suddenly turned in front of him and severely damaging the front end. Back at the shop Doug ordered up a new forged axle from SO-CAL and a set of Lincoln drums, along with another set of hairpins to repair the damage.
Luckily no one was hurt in the accident, and the silver lining in all of it was the insurance claim ended up financing the car's interior. Doug took the car to Glenn Kramer of Hot Rod Interiors in Glendale, Arizona, and he told him all he wanted was black vinyl with red stitching and black loop carpet. Kramer immediately picked up on the hot rod theme and not only covered everything appropriately, but also added a hidden iPod-based stereo system complete with midrange and subwoofer speakers.
With the car truly finished, Doug decided to take it back out to California, driving the 350 miles in his three-window from his shop to the L.A. Roadsters Father's Day Show and around SoCal. But wherever he takes the car it elicits smiles and nodding approval. Most folks think it's an old steel survivor and even a few who "remember seeing it around" back in the day. But, for Doug Jerger, much of the fun of building this car was, inside of six months, completing the challenge of turning an ugly duckling into a heart-pounding, smoky-burnout, badass swan.

Having just bought a louver press and learned how to use it, Doug punched louvers into a metal panel and then glued it to the 'glass decklid on the car for a convincing look.The car's windshield was glued in place when he got it, so it was smashed out and an old windshield frame (that was a bit rusty) was retrofit to the opening to make it appear like an original unit that had been chopped down.To solve the previous problem of too many holes cut in the dash, Doug added an aluminum panel, filling it with Classic Instrument gauges. The four-spoke steering wheel is from SO-CAL Speed Shop.Doug developed his own line of water-based primer that he sells through Squeeg's Kustoms, and he used it on this project, too. The product is a heavy fill primer, and can be easily block-sanded.The 454 that was in the car was left in place, though the tunnel ram and over-the-frame exhaust was sent to the swap meet and sold to finance the powdercoated Edelbrock manifold and 650 carb.

Hi all
I've just installed zimbra and configured authentication with an AD running on Windows 2003 Server. It works fine. However, I cannot find a stable solution to maintain both directories synchronized. I've found a script, which allows zimbra to get all users in AD by means of comparing them with existing users in zimbra-ldap. However, the script does not get any attribute like name, surname, telephone, etc; only user's e-mail address, which is used as zimbra user name.
This is the url where you can find the script: Linalco: Especialistas en Linux y Software Libre - Detalles del documento
We have paid for Network Edition License, but I cannot find any section in the support page which provides a solution for this. Is there any reliable and stable way of maintaining the servers in sync without having to write a script by myself?
Thank you ver much

Dear All,
I did an archive file of my mails from Zimbra. It ended up creating a .tgz file of 6Go.
When I want to upload this file into ZD, it doesn't do anything. When doing this with a file below 2Go, it works. But I've read that with bigger file people have problems. Unfortunately, I can't find any answers on this matter.
Does anybody has encountered this problem and solved it?
Thank you for your help.

As we age, our skin become less elastic and diminishes in its ability to quickly renew itself. Wrinkles, lines, crow's-feet, and sags are inevitable. So, too, are marks and blotches from a lifetime of sun exposure. Inevitable, maybe—but not untreatable. RoC Treatments put at your disposal state-of-the-art formulas for tightening the skin, reducing the appearance of lines and creases, and generally refreshing your face so that some of that youthful cast gets a chance to shine. All this comes to you in the comfort of your home, woven—at your speed and discretion—into your own personalized skin-care routine.
RoC Treatments feature ingredients gentle on the skin but nonetheless formidable in the face of wrinkles and other aging symptoms. RoC Retinol works to diminish creases and spur skin renewal. Tightening agents, vitamins, minerals and other elements round out this treatment, improving tone, elasticity, and skin hydration. And the results can be discerned often in the span of weeks—each day a little more color, a little less roughness. Employed alongside a high-quality cleanser, moisturizer, and sunblock, RoC Treatments can boost your spirit and your confidence as they shave a few years off the feel and look of your skin.
For products that minimize irritation and maximize results, look no further than RoC Treatments. Wrinkles, blotches, and other signs of aging and skin damage are all under fire with these specialized products.
Even deep-set creases may be reduced in appearance by RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Filler. This product is armed with a fine-tuned blend of Hyaluronic Acid, which hydrates and fills out skin, and RoC Retinol, the line's standout anti-wrinkle ingredient. In several weeks' time you may find your skin feeling softer and your stubborn wrinkles and crow's-feet looking diminished. You apply the filler one or two times a day in morning and/or evening, softly rubbing into wrinkle areas.
RoC Multi-Correxion Night Treatment works while you sleep to combat signs of aging. A blend of antioxidants (for neutralizing free radicals), Retinol (for targeting wrinkles and promoting cell regrowth), and Vitamin C (which bolsters skin tone) provide a multi-faceted service. Over the course of weeks, you'll see your tone revitalized, aging spots, pores, and creases fade in prominence, and your skin feel firmer and more elastic. Use this product twice a day, following a thorough cleansing of face and neck.
You'll take aim at wrinkles and photodamaged skin with RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum, a heavy-duty anti-aging product that nonetheless feels gentle and soothing on the skin. RoC Retinol, magnesium, zinc, and copper in the serum all promote skin renewal, while a tightening agent, DMAE, firms up and tones the face. The results start becoming noticeable after four weeks of use, and only intensify with time. This dermatologist-tested product is non-comedogenic—meaning it won't clog pores—and has been refined to minimize the chance of allergic response.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: Experiential Literature Workshop
LitWits Workshops
Multiple Dates
ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY (Mildred D. Taylor)
We can't wait to bring this book to life! We'll explore the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feel of this wonderful story through prop-based discussion and creative activities, including drama, art, writing, history, geography, science, and more! (A fast, fun way to see just what we do is to watch our 3-minute video.) When children learn with their senses, their enthusiasm and curiosity increase, and teachable moments abound.
From the publisher: With the land to hold them together, nothing can tear the Logans apart. Why is the land so important to Cassies family? It takes the events of one turbulent year -- the year of the night riders and the burnings, the year a white girl humiliates Cassie in public simply because she is black -- to show Cassie that having a place of their own is the Logan familys lifeblood. It is the land that gives the Logans their courage and pride, for no matter how others may degrade them, the Logans possess something no one can take away.
Winner of the 1977 Newbery Award, an ALA Notable Book, a New York Times Book Review Best of Childrens Books 1970-1980, and a National Book Award Nominee
"Taylor writes... not with rancor or bitterness of indignities, but with pride, strength, and respect for humanity." ~ The New York Times Book Review
Workshop Details
How it works: Each four-hour LitWits workshop focuses on a single work of literature that the children have read before they arrive. Heavily abridged and audio versions are perfectly acceptable! Though we encourage completion of the book before the workshop, it's not necessary in order to enjoy our creative, immersive activities.
Ages: We don't have age restrictions – as a parent, you know best what your child is ready for, interested in, and capable of. Having said that, we find that ages 9-12 are almost always "ready to LitWit"!
Time and Place: Workshops are held Thursday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the campus of Vintage Faith Church at 350 Mission Street, Santa Cruz, upstairs in the Children & Youth Building. The Abbey coffeehouse is right next door, if you'd like to jumpstart your four hours of free time!
Cost for each 4-hour workshop: The cost of each workshop includes all supplies and snacks; children bring their own lunch. If you are registering one child, each workshop is $65. If you are registering siblings for the same workshop, each workshop is $60/child. LitWits Workshops is an approved vendor for Ocean Grove Charter School. If one of your referred friends attends a future session, we'll send you a gift certificate for a free workshop!
Cancellation policy: We purchase materials several days in advance of each workshop, so please let us know as soon as possible if your child won't be able to attend. We appreciate your consideration!
Making great books a memorable, hands-on experience for kids!
Experiential literature workshops (for ages 7+ and 10+). We also offer lit-based writing camps and teen Master Classes.
It's amazing what kids can pick up while they're "just" having fun! Getting inside a story in sensory ways leads to incidental, natural learning.
Our workshops are joyful immersions in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feel of a single pre-read book. Learning happens through prop-based discussion and creative activities.
LitWits is FUN - and leaves kids craving more great books!
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

i've migrated from 7.2.2 on ubuntu 8.04 32bit to 7.2.2 on ubuntu 10.04 64bit, and mails seems to be flowing. zmcontrol status shows all services running, but the web interface shows all services as failed!? also, no stats available. i think this has something to do with zimbramon not working correctly, but i'm not really sure how to troubleshoot. observations, output:
zimbra@box~$: zmcontrol -v

so i think this is probably key to status not being right - aren't those updated from these logs?
i've trolled the forums but everything i'm seeing is for older versions! from what i've read, the logger was re-written with v6, right?
point me in the right direction! meanwhile - off to research how the logger and logswatch work, maybe i can pick something up there

This gorgeous 27-year-old Filipina first graced television screens on the 2013 season of The Bachelor.
The American reality television dating game show, which premiered back in 2002, received backlash over the years for its predominantly white cast. To this day, the show remains primarily white, but it has shown effort to add some diversity.
In season 17, Bachelor Sean Lowe found himself facing one of the most ethnically diverse group of girls that the show has seen yet. Among the women who stood out to us, and to Sean apparently, was Catherine Giudici.
The graphic designer eventually won Lowe's heart, but not before bringing him home and teaching him a thing or two about the Filipino culture. As it turns out, Giudici's mother is a trustee of the Filipino American National Historical Society so Giudici is no stranger to her roots. In fact, her full name (Catherine Ligaya Mejia Giudici) contains the word "happiness" in Tagalog. Catherine Giudici has even been found tweeting about her Filipino culture.
After waiting patiently for nearly a year, we finally get to see the adorable couple tie the knot! The wedding will be held January 26 at the Four Seasons Resort—The Biltmore Santa Barbara. Lucky for us, every detail of the wedding will be telecast live on ABC.
Their wedding planner Mindy Weiss says, ""Sean and Catherine have a very grown-up style right now. They want something sexy and romantic. They use certain words to kind of guide me with their vision."
And if you thought the couple couldn't get any cuter, let's not forget that they have an absolutely adorable Save The Date.
Although the couple will be in front of camera's once again for their lavish wedding, they swear they aren't nervous because of all the nationwide attention. Instead, they're excited that they finally get to start their life together.

Welcome to the best month, everyone! And that's not just because my birthday is this weekend ;) Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.
Thistle is next in line, right? How are you feeling? Anyone else have EDDs coming up?
Thursday marks 33 weeks for me. My baby shower is on the 14th, which I'm really excited about. It's taking all of my willpower to not buy baby stuff before then. I'm also making a pre-baby checklist (I love lists :).
I'm getting more and more nervous about going back to work. I want to and feel like I need to; I started my own business in January and it's been building, but I just dont know if I'll even make enough to cover daycare. That just makes me feel...ugh. I don't know what I'll do...look for another job, some random office thing? Ugh. It's like I'm sliding back into having no professional direction.
Anyway, we're also meeting another pediatrician on Friday. I really liked the first one we met and the practice in general. DH is leaning toward this one though...we'll see!

|Sheriff's Department investigating attempted break-in at Wauneta Crossroads
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 26 February 2014 22:03
By Diane Stamm and Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
The Chase County Sheriff's Department is looking into an attempted break-in at Wauneta Crossroads on the early morning hours of Wednesday, Feb. 19.
Deputy Dave Ridlen reported the storage shed of the car wash bay at Wauneta Crossroads was broken into just after 2:00 a.m. based on surveillance video. Authorities believe an unknown person or people broke into the shed trying to get money out of the coin mechanisms, but gave up. Items of value were left behind.
Wauneta Crossroads manager Angie West said their surveillance video showed a vehicle make a loop around the vacuums in front of the car wash and parked in the car wash at 2:18 a.m. MT. She said the vehicle sat in the car wash for approximately 10 minutes when it then drove another loop around the vacuums and parked beside the car wash door, where it remained for approximately an hour.
West told Breeze staff the individual got the lock off the storage shed and did damage to the door, but was unable to open the storage shed. She said nothing was taken during the incident.
West added that while the individual was at the car wash for just over an hour he/she never used the interior lights of his/her vehicle but did use a flashlight. West said the individual reentered his/her vehicle, backed out of the car wash at 3:36 a.m. MT and drove onto Arikaree Avenue to the stop sign at Highway 6 where the vehicle turned west.
The incident at Wauneta Crossroads is still under investigation and the Sheriff's Department asks that the public report any suspicious activity. West added she was told by the Chase County Sherriff's office that the description she gave of the individual alerted law enforcement officers to a similar incident in Atwood, Kan., which they felt may be related to the Wauneta Crossroads incident.
According to Deputy Mike Dukes, the Chase County Sheriff's Department is working with other law enforcement agencies, including the Nebraska State Patrol, pursuing leads as similar crimes have been reported.

Yes one of the keys to eating hot food is making sure it all comes out at one time. I don't want to put the sensitive areas of my body through more pain than is necessary.

Living in Towers, I had direct access to the "kitchen", which also housed water pipes for the showers. On my floor, there was only one good shower. The pressure could rip 4 layers of skin per second. It was wonderful. Problem was every morning, I would have to race some other dude for said shower. This dude liked to take his sweet time, like some chick getting ready for, well, almost anything. He never got more than a couple of minutes of hot water once i purchased a wrench.
I rooted for our high school rival yesterday because my cousin was playing for them (boys soccer tournament). Granted, I'm 20 years removed from high school, so those loyalties don't mean much any more. It would have been a bigger deal 15 years ago.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in. That's kind of how the push to change the name of the Washington Redskins has been. And now, there's a new fight.
Brand-new D.C. Council member David Grosso is pushing for a resolution, "The reality is that our name, our city, the first President of the United States, that's attached to this name that is seen as racist and derogatory by a large chunk of our population."
If you're a world-weary Washingtonian, this story may give you a case of déjà-vu.
But, if you're Robert Holden, Deputy Director of the National Congress of American Indians, it's a huge deal, "I can't seem to fathom why they are in favor of continuing this name that is just as disgraceful, to us, particularly in a majority/minority town. Some of that is education, some of that is upbringing, and some of that is just not wanting to understand."
What's different about this fight is that Grosso's tossing out a new name: Redtails.
"I think it would be interesting and a real testament not just to the Tuskogee airmen which was the Redtails and that was their nickname, but also the red-tailed hawks are a big deal in D.C. and in the area," he said.
To lifelong fan Erica Gilliam of Southeast D.C., who wears her pride on her head, she says nothing will change her passion, "I'm still gonna rep them and love em."
If the resolution passes,and Grosso says he's got the majority of the Council on his side, it's not binding. A name change is ultimately up to the team, and the NFL.

(USA TODAY SPORTS) -- Jacoby Jones spoke out about the party bus incident where he was hit with a bottle, starting a firestorm of questions about Jones' actions and the Ravens' leadership.
Jones talked about it on his radio show, as transcribed by the Baltimore Sun.
"I'm going to take the responsibility that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. There was no altercation. There's nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong but I take responsibility for being in wrong place at the wrong time. Enough said. I apologize to my teammates and everybody."
Jones was careful in his wording to say he was in "the wrong place at the wrong time," which is obviously not a denial that something happened (although he clearly denies there was any "altercation," which triggered much of the snarky analysis on Monday afternoon.
But Jones didn't actually do anything wrong. If an adult wants to be on a bus with a stripper named Sweetpea, there is nothing stopping him - aside from the persistent threat of any late-night scenario going sideways and, of course, the very real consequence of driving his coach nuts.
Jones' only lingering misstep at this point is thinking an incident like this won't get people talking.

Renowned opera singer in Vienna going strong at 95
VIENNA It was 1947 in post-war Vienna, and Hilde Zadek remembers taking a deep breath behind the curtain. A rookie on her first opera gig, she was about to sing the prestigious role of Aida for an audience full of particularly harsh critics - whistle-packing Nazis she says were determined to show "that Jew from Palestine" she was not welcome at one of the world's greatest opera houses.
But their whistles stayed silent, as Zadek celebrated her first on-stage triumph.
"At the end even they applauded and were my fans," recalls the 95-year diva with a chuckle, as she recounts a life of improbable turns from the time she fled Nazi Germany to that first performance in Vienna that launched the former shoe sales clerk's stellar opera career.
Sixty-five years later, Vienna has morphed from what she calls a post-war "nest of Nazis" replete with die-hard Hitler supporters into a city that has worked to reckon with its past. Austria's capital has compensated thousands of relatives of Holocaust victims and frequently honors their memory. After decades or denial, Vienna's municipal government now freely recognizes that the city - and the nation - were Hitler's eager accomplices.
As for Zadek, the city she once despised as part of Hitler's evil empire has long become a home she says she would never leave - and one that is proud to call her its own. She has been showered with medals, granted high honorary titles and a singer's competition named after her 13 years ago has turned into an international launching pad for future opera stars.
"I live the life," she exults, eyes twinkling behind rimless glasses as she serves coffee in her high-ceilinged apartment at Vienna's tony 19th district. "I don't feel a trace of anti-Semitism. And I have long forgiven - Vienna was a wonderful audience from the first moment on."
With even Viennese Nazi sympathizers charmed by that first performance, Zadek was unstoppable. By the time she stopped singing and turned to teaching in 1971, the spunky soprano was one of the world's leading divas, with 60 roles under her belt and thousands of appearances at the world's greatest opera houses. She still teaches today, equating voice coaching with a personal mission to pass on what she knows to a new generation.
"If I had to give an accounting of myself up above and were asked `what have you achieved,' then I would say, `I have trained good voice teachers,'" she says.
The way to Vienna and operatic stardom was perilous.
It began in 1934, in Poznan. Now Polish, the city was then part of Germany, and like other German communities it was gripped by growing anti-Semitism that made life more and more intolerable for Jews.
"I was told often enough what a Jew is, including that they had deformed brains," she said. Kids were taken on school outings to see the Fuehrer and on one such occasion "I had the `privilege' of seeing Herr Hitler, the `joy' of breathing in his aura - an ugly little gnome who did nothing else but scream with a face contorted by hate!"
One day, it all came to a head: "I knocked out a few front teeth of a school-mate after she said `it stinks like Jews here,'" she said. "From that second on I had to leave Germany or I would have been jailed."
Zadek initially fled to Berlin; then a year later, at age 17, to what was then Palestine. She worked first in an orphanage, living in a small room with 16 of her charges before training as a pediatric nurse at a hospital. Life was hard, but safe - unlike at home, where the Nazi vise was tightening around the Jews who remained.

The ABSOLUTE BEST FOR KIDS Review by legs59
Quality Price Value
If these are the same as the VHS tapes we bought back in the 80's for our children, which I hope they are, they will keep the kids entertained, learning new songs and dancing along with the characters. We lost our's in a fire 4 yrs ago and now we have a granddaughter so I'm ordering them in the hope that as I said before they are the same. I cannot say enough about them. Better than any TV show and they learn the classics that we all grew up with but have forgotten over the years. NOTHING compares and no TV show comes even close. (Posted on 2/1/10)

This zimlet would not be even visible within the "Zimlets section", but would only provide content, similar to calendar view, which is displayed at the bottom of the left pane.
How would I got about implementing this type of zimlet? I guess this is not a regular panel zimlet?

Courthouse resumes operations after no hazardous materials found
Published: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 1:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
The Marion County Judicial Center was evacuated Monday afternoon, after what two employees thought was white powder was discovered inside. The center was back to business by 3 p.m. after no hazardous materials were found.
Two employees were shredding mail in the traffic infractions office on the first floor of the courthouse, near the entrance from the parking garage. After a while the two noticed a white powdery substance on their clothing, said Jessica Greene, Marion County Fire Rescue spokeswoman.
The employees alerted their supervisor and Ocala Fire Rescue was called just before 1 p.m. OFR called for Marion County's hazardous materials team and the courthouse was evacuated.
"The hazmat team found nothing biological, chemical, explosive or radioactive," Greene said.
The powder turned out to be residue from the shredding process, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.

A too-long-undiagnosed bout with Lyme Disease has left me challenged with arthritis and some neurological damage. The arthritis has its uses: I can predict rain, and the pain gives me something to offer up in prayer, or as penance.
Not so the neurological issues. At the peak of my illness I was unable to figure out how to do the dishes; my organizational skills have never fully recovered, and verbally I sometimes wander into strange lands, referring to cereal as cookies, or to hats as helmets. When that happens, and after I have apologized to my family for sending them into hysterics or on goose chases, I will ask, Are you going to get rid of me, when my mind is gone?
Were going to be confused a lot of the time, they admit.
Well, I shrug, as long as you still love me.
CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen recently filed a report on the early-onset Alzheimers that began affecting his wife, Jan Chorlton, at the age of forty. It is an undeniably moving story; after introducing the viewer to images of the beautiful and lively Chorlton, the report shows us Petersens sixty-year old, still-beautiful wife, now living in what appears to be a top-notch assisted-living facility. She is unable to sustain simple conversation or to recognize her husband. Chorlton talks of a man she will always love, while Petersen openly weeps. When he asks his wife if she can name that man, she giggles, Mr. Happy.
Medical experts are introduced and they declare that there is no treatment for Alzheimers Disease, and no way to prevent it. In the near-future, we are told, sixteen million Americans will be diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease.
Petersen reveals that he is now in a relationship with a widow; they live together, and they both love Jan in what one of them calls this very peculiar new American family. The piece closes challenging anyone to gainsay them, who has not walked in their shoes.
But, was it not precisely for such situations that marriage vows were designed? For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, together or apart. Love, which is limitless, is supposed to be strong enough"even if we do not think we are"to survive these challenges.
The idea is not exclusive to churches; marital vows are common to secularists, as well, and societies have been built upon them for millennia. Why, suddenly, do they no longer work? Is it a generational thing? Are the same baby boomers who would not submit to military conscription or unplanned parenthood now refusing to embrace the difficult, shattering work of suffering for love? Has the church done such a poor job of demonstrating the efficacy of such surrender that there is simply no capacity for it left, in the post-modern world?
A neighbor of mine works as a therapist for Alzheimers patients, both high-functioning and low. She recently described one sixty-ish daily visitor. He is a saint. Every day he brings his lunch and eats with his wife. She doesnt recognize him, so every day she is meeting a new friend. When we told him he neednt come so often he said, But she is my bride; if I did not see her, I would miss her.
The mans wife had changed, but if she was no longer capable of seeing her groom, he still beheld and adored his bride. Their marriage, then, is the microcosmic reflection of the macro-love of God for his people and the love of Christ for his church. Love without limit, love without fear, love without desertion; love in joy and in pain, love in the shallows and the depths, love without end.
We cannot see God except as he is made manifest through us, and in the covenant of marriage his faithfulness is beautifully reflected. We look to this manifestation"in all its turbulent courses"to get an inkling of him. When we cannot see the great love of God reflected so near to us, we are diminished.
When love is rationalized into limits, we have sold love, and ourselves, short. If God is love, we have sold God short, too. We have chosen to walk around a fire, rather than through it, chosen not to trust that our sufferings have meaning and that they are, on balance, the crucibles of our commonalities, which mold and strengthen our societies.
Petersen says his wifes love has been lost to the long-goodbye of Alzheimers. That suggests a perspective that sees love, and life, as finite"a measure brought to close, and the rest is silence.
To the nameless, lunch-bearing husband of my neighbors acquaintance, love is not lost; it is wholly there and alive. Petersens love is not lost, either, but perhaps he cannot quite perceive its nearness because he has dropped the lens of eternity.
Hard times are endurable, and suffering can be borne; if humanity no longer believes that, it will quickly extinguish itself, in an effort to go through life anaesthetized and feeling nothing but fine.
If mentally absent spouses can credibly be warehoused and apportioned a third of a marriage, that will quickly devolve into something more banal and expedient, particularly for those lacking means. The lives of gone spouses will eventually be deemed too expensive to sustain, and another thread in the seamless garment of life-and-death issues will have frayed and snapped.
I cannot judge Barry Petersen, and I would not; that is Gods job. I have no idea what torments he has endured, or how he came to his decisions. But it is not enough to ride a sentimental wave of emotion. Those choices will resonate within our consciences, eventually affecting medical and legislative actions and further challenging the churches.
I am a woman with neurological problems, and these questions about the limits of life and love, awkward and unwelcome as they are, must be asked, before much more is lost.

Hillman Media Session: Mahay and Yabuta
One in and one out
Royals' left-handed reliever Ron Mahay was designated for assignment this afternoon after almost two full seasons with the Royals. Manager Trey Hillman said, "He just wasn't performing like we had hoped for. It just never really clicked and he never got into any kind of rhythm this season. He had a couple of really strong months last year, but this season he just hasn't been in command of his stuff." Taking his place on the roster will be Yasuhiko Yabuta, who was signed out of Japan in 2007. He has spent all of 2009 with Triple-A affiliate Omaha, posting a 2-1 record with a 3.55 ERA (53 K in 45 2/3 IP).

The entire suki skin care collection is 100 percent free of synthetics and uses natural extracts to achieve results. In clinical trials, the 84 percent of women who used suki products saw dramatic improvements in the look and feel of their skin. The all-natural skin care range contains a complete lineup of formulas, including cleansers, masks, serums, eye and lip products and moisturizers, which can be combined to create effective, yet safe daily skin care regimens.
See our Q&A with Suki Kramer, Founder of suki.
Having experienced skin problems her whole life, Suki Kramer collaborated with herbalists and chemists to formulate a range of products that are both natural and effective. Her namesake company is committed to providing high-performance, healthful cosmeceuticals that allow each woman to meet their unique skincare needs.
Begin your beauty regimen with the best-selling suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser. It gently exfoliates the skin using natural sugar, and purifies pores with lemongrass. To activate the cleanser, take a dollop of the formula in damp hands and massage it between your palms. Use circular motions to apply to the skin. After rinsing off, follow with the suki Concentrated Balancing Toner. This toner is specially formulated for inflammation-prone skin. If you're interested in a more targeted blemish-fighter, try the suki Transformative Cleansing Clay. This leave-on formula draws out impurities from your pores thanks to white willow salicins and zinc. For cleansing, leave on for five minutes. To address more stubborn blemishes, the clay can be applied to red spots and left on the face overnight.
The suki Eye Repair Balm helps to prevent the signs of aging in the delicate eye area. The salve contains nourishing botanicals including carrot oil, evening primrose, and grapeseed. Simply press a small amount of the formula around the eyes, once in the morning and again at night.
The elements can take their toll on lips. Reach for the ultra-protective suki Lip Repair Butter to minimize chapping and discomfort. The balm contains jojoba, non-GMO soy, and chamomile to keep your lips naturally soft and moisturized.

RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
Which Countries Are the East's Most...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Abbott received 510k clearance for an in vitro diagnostic test to aid in determining the prognosis of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The Vysis CLL FISH Probe Kit is reportedly the first FDA-cleared CLL prognostic test.
It detects genetic abnormalities in lymphocytes. In CLL abnormal lymphocytes are produced and can accumulate in the circulatory system, restricting normal cell function and weakening the immune system.
Several published studies and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines suggest that chromosomal abnormalities associated with CLL are valuable prognostic tools, Abbott points out. "Genetic aberrations are found in 80 percent of CLL cases," according to Stafford O'Kelly, head of Abbott's molecular diagnostics business.
The Vysis CLL FISH Probe Kit includes a panel of five individual FISH probes intended to detect deletion of the LSI TP53, LSI ATM, and LSI D13S319 probe targets and gain of the D12Z3 sequence in peripheral blood specimens from untreated patients with B-cell CLL. The assay may be used to dichotomize CLL (the 13q-, +12, or normal genotype group versus the 11q- or 17p- group) and may be used as an aid in determining disease prognosis in combination with additional biomarkers, morphology, and other clinical information.
The Vysis CLL FISH Probe Kit is the latest addition to Abbott Molecular's list of FISH in vitro diagnostics products in the U.S. Earlier this year the firm submitted a PMA to the FDA for its Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe test designed to identify ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer patients for targeted therapy.
Abbott's PathVysion test, the first FDA approved FISH-based companion diagnostic, detects amplification of the Her2 gene and acts as an aid in identifying breast cancer patients for Herceptin® therapy. The UroVysion test also utilizes FISH technology to quantitatively assess chromosomal changes in the cell's nucleus, which may aid in the diagnosis as well as in the surveillance and monitoring of bladder cancer.

Engagement rings are no longer cut out for the ring finger. The bling symbol of commitment has found a different place to make its mark – the tongue!! Make way for engagement tongue rings!! Hard to digest? Well the trend not really but the rings should be (hard to digest) as these better stick to tongues only.
A unique and fast catching body piercing jewelry trend, engagement tongue rings is no tongue in cheek humor. Love bitten couples daring to be bold, different and not so traditional are finding engagement tongue rings to be pretty fab!
Available in diamonds and gold, tongue rings for the pre-nup commitment are not short on any shine or sparkle. Branded under the tag of 'alternative engagement' jewelry, engagement tongue rings are sure alternative!
Tongue Engagement rings – Piercing trends do not stop at that
There's more – belly button rings have also caught the fancy of couples ready to go down the aisle. Now we've heard about Cupid piercing hearts but spouses piercing each other is something rare. Anyhow whatever floats one's boat!
When you are in love nothing seems beyond it. Thinking of popping the question and wanna go the road less traveled – go for engagement body piercing jewelry. However, first make sure that your girlfriend/ boyfriend is fine with it or else one of you will end up with a bruise!
What say the traditionalists?

Jim Ward, who left the CEO job at video game publisher LucasArts in early 2008, is now hoping to win a seat in Congress.
Ward, a Republican who currently works as a venture capitalist, is running to represent Arizona's 5th Congressional District. That seat is currently held by two-term Democrat Harry Mitchell. The district includes Scottsdale, Tempe and parts of Phoenix.
Ward outlines his philosophy on his campaign website:
I'm not a professional politician. I'm a businessman. And I don't disagree that this country needs change. But, in my experience, there's the right kind of change and the wrong kind of change. I believe what's happening to this country represents the wrong kind of change…
Ward lists his political philosophy as conservative on Facebook. He has protested (see pic at left) against President Obama's healthcare plan.

Minors Snapshot - Medieval and Renaissance Studies
The minor is a part of Cross Disciplinary Programs.
The medieval and renaissance studies minor focuses on the period from the fall of Rome (5th century C.E.) to 1700. The minor allows students to take courses in art history, English, history, music, philosophy, political science, religion, and a range of languages (Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Latin as well as medieval languages such as Old English and Middle English) in the original or in translation. Students focus on either the medieval or the renaissance periods or combine course work from both periods.
The minor requires 18 credits. The 18 credit hours must include courses from at least three distinct disciplines. Note that all foreign language courses (ARAB, FR, GER, ITAL and LAT) fall into the single discipline of foreign languages and literatures. At least four of the six required classes must be taken from the intermediate or advanced categories. It is recommended that students take one introductory course before taking the 300 or 400 level classes.
Other courses with significant medieval and/or renaissance content may be counted toward the minor with the approval of the minor coordinator. In addition, students interested in pursuing a three-credit hour focused individual research project should contact individual faculty members with whom they might wish to work to determine the feasibility of this option in their particular cases. Only one such independent study will count toward the minor.
Approval of the minor coordinator will also be required in the following two cases. First, some courses will count toward the minor only if their content is focused on the medieval and/or renaissance periods. Second, because the content of HUM 200, HUM 250 and HUM 252 may vary, the minor coordinator will determine the appropriate disciplinary category for these courses.

His company, Mosaic Consulting, provides advisory services relating to China. Mr. Garcia holds a degree in Business and Economics from the University of Seville (Spain) and is a graduate of the General Management Program at Harvard Business School.

The beauty of baseball
It's hard to stomach a loss like last night, but a long used baseball saying serves as the perfect remedy. It's just one loss. That's right, that's the beauty of baseball. We play again tonight..
The season is 162 games in 180 days. We may be down in the dumps after a tough loss, but you've never got long until the slate is wiped clean and a new game begins. Let's forget last night and go Around the Horn…
One thing that can always distract Around the Horn's mind is free stuff. And this week is packed with that. There are still six games left in this homestand and each one has some sort of promotion. In fact only seven of the remaining 34 home games don't have a promotion.
Two huge events are planned for this weekend. Girls Night Out was a huge event last season. Tickets were scarce, martinis were plentiful and blue turned to pink for a night. That's going to happen all over again in two days. Emerson Drive will play immediately after the Saturday game. If you'll recall, Emerson Drive sang the National Anthem on Opening Day and they are excited to be back in Kansas City and playing to a stadium full of fans. We are excited to have them back.
Tickets are still available for both events.
Also this week: Tomorrow is a special day-game version of College Night and Friday is a double play with Buck Night and Fireworks. Dan Quisenberry Bobbleheads accompany the Emerson Drive concert on Saturday and Sunday is an autograph afternoon.
Of course, the can't miss promotion for this week is tonight. Powder blue T-shirts with Frank White's name and number will be given to the first 20,000 fans. This is your chance to show your Kansas City pride by sporting the baby blue with Frank's name on the back.
White's story is becoming a bit of a legend in Kansas City and he deserves it. He rose from Longview Community College in Lee's Summit to the Royals Baseball Academy to a Major League Star who had his number retired in 1995.
The K.C. kid was known for the spectacular defense he displayed on the Kauffman carpet. White won eight Gold Gloves (should have been at least nine), was named to five All-Star teams, chalked up one ALCS MVP and a Silver Slugger award.
White managed several of today's current team including Billy Butler and Alex Gordon while they played at Double-A Wichita (now Northwest Arkansas). And now the Royals Hall of Famer works on FSN Kansas City broadcasts, serving as a part-time game analyst and appearing on Royals Live.
FSN-KC produced a 30-minute feature on White which aired for the first time on the 4th of July. It has two more air dates:
Thursday, July 24 at 6 p.m.
Monday, July 28 at 8 p.m.
Jimmy Gobble has been placed on the disabled list with a stiff lower back which has apparently been nagging him for sometime. Joel Peralta has been recalled to the Major League Club…Mike Aviles is continuing to bash the ball and leads all rookies with a .323 batting average…Tony Pena last night was the first Royals position player to pitch since Shane Halter on July 17, 1998 at Seattle. Pena pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning, striking out future Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-game press conference: Gobble will not undergo a full rehabilitation, and instead will report to Omaha to rest and begin throwing from a flat surface in a few days…Also from Hillman: He was glad to see his team did not give away outs and came back to score four runs at the end last night.
The Royals will be getting some national TV exposure next homestand. The FOX network will broadcast the game on Aug. 2, which will cancel one of the previously scheduled FSN-KC broadcasts, which will be made up on September 18 against the Mariners. The Aug. 2 is a 2:55 start on Aug. 2 which is a change from the original start of 6:10. A 1:10 start has always been slated for Sept. 18.
One more reminder about a MLB scheduling oddity, tomorrow is a rare Wednesday day-game with a 1:10 start, to allow for the Tigers to head out of town a little earlier on getaway day.
Extra Innnings
The Royals are working on a number of things for Military Appreciation Day, which is August 2. Around the Horn would like to request some help from our faithful here at mlblogs.com. If you have pictures of loved ones overseas wearing Royals gear, you can send them to email@example.com and we might be able to use them for a presentation during that day's events. If not, Around the Horn is also working on a special post for that day and may post some of these photos right here. Please include the name of the person, hometown, where they are stationed and what branch they are in.
Thanks for your help.
Here's tonight's lineup:
DeJesus LF
Aviles SS
Grudzielanek 2B
Guillen RF
Butler DH
German 3B
Buck C

- Python appellate decision (PDF - 18kb)
Convictions upheld in death of child killed by python
Lesser convictions thrown out
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
An appeals court has upheld the manslaughter convictions of a Sumter County couple held responsible for the death of a 2-year-old child who was strangled by the family's pet python.
Jaren Hare and her live-in boyfriend, Charles "Jason" Darnell, went to trial and were found guilty of third-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child by culpable negligence and child neglect in the 2009 death of Hare's child, Shaianna Hare.
The 5th District Court of Appeal upheld the manslaughter convictions without comment in an opinion issued Friday. But the court also threw out the couple's convictions for child neglect, saying it was "double jeopardy" to convict them of that and manslaughter when both charges emanated from the same criminal act.
Hare and Darnell are serving 12-year prison terms for the manslaughter charges.
