It's All in the Dash
6 comments:
Recently, I found that poem about "the dash" to be an inspiration.ReplyDelete
I wish that there was a way to have a diary generated and available to those that want know about the dash of people important to them. Your aunt's dash sounds like a rich, full, nd complicated one.
What she thought of, and knew about her daughter, seemimglly lost to her, would be... something i think tangible and woeth knowing.Replies
I often wonder what happened to Mabel's daughter, too, Iggy. A diary explaining some of the thoughts behind the events would be pretty helpful, too. I can't imagine what went into the choice to give up her own daughter...Delete
I read that poem a long time ago and it has stuck with me, an old blogger friend first spoke of it! I have a big long dash because of the internet and my blog. Might be a big boring dash..but perhaps someday it will have some interest to someone. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I just caught up on my reading at your blog, Far Side, and was surprised to see you had written about that same concept: The Dash. We are so simpatico ;)Delete
Interesting too that Stella stayed with Dad.ReplyDeleteReplies
Seeing that in the census record certainly jarred with what I had been told through family stories passed down. Obviously a case of in-law slant. Probably much like what happened with the story of what became of Chevis' first husband.Delete

The zmmboxmove command has a -sync option....and I always use it.....but I don't know why.
The online documentation is pretty thin. The CLI help just says...
OK great....run synchronously with what? It runs synchronously with other zmmboxmove actions? It runs synchronously and allows the user to stay logged in? It runs synchronously with the 6 o'clock train to Waxamahatchee?Code:
-sync,--sync Run synchronously
Can someone shed some light on that. I'm curious if I do or don't need to use that option and what affect it has on the mailbox or server.

I bought my son one of these so we could have matching shirts. Good stuff. The fit is spot on, the colors and print have withstood numerous washings, and we both dig it. Twin Six makes fun stuff.

I've been marveling at the amazing maps you all make, and now it's time for me to take the map-making plunge.
My first project is a dungeon tile set for elven ruins (for D&Ders out there think Myth Drannor or Cendriane) that I'm going to be tackling in GIMP. Any pointers, suggestions for map elements, ideas for cool ways to make use of dungeon tiles, or other input is welcome!
Right now I'm doing prep work, mostly sketching out the layout of the tiles and gathering inspiration, but I have put together some basic ground elements in GIMP. Here's the little I've got so far (hey, gotta start somewhere).

A Regions Bank spokesman says a cyberattack that jammed online and mobile banking did not result in the release of any customers' personal or financial information.
The Birmingham-based bank used social media to tell its customers Thursday afternoon that it was under cyberattack, and its website and online banking had been compromised.
A bank spokesman says the cyberattack involved jamming the bank's website to keep legitimate customers from getting into it, and there was no access to customer information. Other major U.S. banks have experienced similar problems in the last two months.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A group of conservative black pastors are declaring their opposition to gun control.
As Congress prepares legislation that could ban some firearms and expand background checks, the pastors from around the U.S. held a news conference Friday at the National Press Club in Washington.
Seattle-area pastor Ken Hutcherson wondered how many children would have to die before people realized that "a bad man with a gun can only be stopped by a good man with a gun." He said the Newtown school massacre has received far more attention than the daily death toll in America's black communities.
Washington D.C. pastor Kenneth Blanchard said God expects people to protect their loved ones, with deadly force if necessary.
The Rev. Bruce Rivers of Santa Cruz, Calif., said gun control laws wouldn't have stopped the gang that shot his son to death. He said when the first murderer Cain killed his brother Abel, God dealt with the criminal, not the weapon.

Slashdot article about the security issue
Zimbra is sending Yahoo username and passwords in the clear (ie: not encrypted) when syncing with Yahoo Mail. In other words, you shouldn't use Zimbra Desktop to check for Yahoo mail on a public network and I'd be wary to do so even on a private one.
Please have Zimbra log in using secure IMAP.

More companies will hire temporary and contract workers in 2013, according to a new survey by CareerBuilder. It found that 40 percent of employers plan to bring in temporary and contract workers next year, up from 36 percent in last year's survey and 34 percent in the survey from two years ago.
In addition, 42 percent of employers plan to transition some temporary workers into full-time, permanent employees over the next 12 months.
Employers also plan to increase hiring of full-time permanent employees with 26 percent saying they plan to increase hiring in 2013, up from 23 percent in 2012 and 24 percent in 2011.
The survey also charted three trends to watch in 2013:
- Employers scouting talent at other organizations: Nineteen percent of workers reported they have been approached to work for another company in the last year when they didn't apply for a position with that organization. Sales workers were the most likely to report being courted with 33 percent saying they were contacted. Professional and business services workers came next with 31 percent saying they were contacted.
- More employers willing to increase compensation: Seventy-two percent of employers plan to increase compensation for existing employees — up from 62 percent last year — while 47 percent will offer higher starting salaries for new employees — up significantly from 32 percent last year. Most increases will be 3 percent or less.
- Employers creating the right candidate instead of waiting for one: Thirty-nine percent plan to train people who don't have experience in their particular industry or field and hire them for positions within their organizations, up from 38 percent last year.
The survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder among 2,611 hiring managers and human resource professionals and 3,991 workers. The survey was conducted in the month of November.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Digital Video
After further investigation of reports of Vista refusing to record NBC, we have found at least one case where a user receiving digital TV over-the-air has been blocked from recording TV shows. Justin Sanders, who took this screenshot, says he was recording Raleigh's HDTV channel WNCN-DT1 on his Vista machine when a popup stating that "restrictions set by the broadcaster ... prohibit recording of this program" appeared.
This is significant: this is the first case we've heard of equipment voluntarily obeying broadcast flag-like restrictions on TV content digitally broadcast over-the-air.
Reports are coming in of digital video recording systems refusing to record NBC programs - both on digital cable and over-the-air transmissions.
We're still investigating whether these involved over-the-air digital TV, which would mean that NBC was the first broadcaster to attempt to revive the abandoned ATSC "broadcast flag" (as opposed to cable and analog copy control signals like CGMS-A which have been used before).
The immense popularity of sites like YouTube has unexpectedly turned Flash Video (FLV) into one of the de facto standards for Internet video. The proliferation of sites using FLV has been a boon for remix culture, as creators made their own versions of posted videos. And thus far there has been no widespread DRM standard for Flash or Flash Video formats; indeed, most sites that use these formats simply serve standalone, unencrypted files via ordinary web servers.
Just three days into the new year, we have another example of DRM punishing paying customers, rather than "pirates." Netflix subscriber Davis Freeberg ran headlong into an incompatibility between Microsoft DRM and ... Microsoft DRM.
While the Senate floor was
href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2126247">rejecting one flag
amendment, the Senate Commerce committee was letting another two—the broadcast flag and audio flag—slip
by. Senator Sununu spoke strongly against the flags, noting that we don't need technology mandates that inject federal bureaucrats into technology design decisions, but chose ultimately to withdraw his amendments to remove the audio and broadcast flags from the larger telecom package. But he said he may
propose to remove them again when—or if—the bill reaches the Senate
The bill still has
another day of mark-up in committee, focusing on the controversial
network neutrality proposals. But they won't be revisiting the flags. So, if the committee ultimately passes a telecom reform bill, the flags will be in it.

How may I change or re-point the user data and store location from the default location as listed below?
C:\Documents and Settings\XP-user\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
Printable View
How may I change or re-point the user data and store location from the default location as listed below?
C:\Documents and Settings\XP-user\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
If you use Windows vista or Windows 7, you may use mklink utlity.
I am trying to do the same but running XP Pro. I absolutely love the look and feel of Zimbra but storing mail in the default location is insufficient for our company. If anyone has information on how to change this location that would be appreciated.
C:\Documents and Settings\XP-user\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
The system I am using is XP.
I know where it is located I want to move it to a LAN location for security and back up purposes. I am looking for a good clean way to do this without stopping the service and doing a time extensive copy script.
here is the bug that tracks the issue: https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52892.
until that's fixed, the workaround, on windows, requires some manual editing of a .vbs file:
look for this function:Code:
C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\win32\zdrun.vbs
Function GetDataRoot()
GetDataRoot = sLocalAppDir & "\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop"
GetDataRoot = "<some directory i want to place my data>"
save the file and restart zd.Code:
GetDataRoot = "F:\zd_data"
to migrate existing data to a new place:
1) quit ZD; copy the data from the existing location (c:\documents and settings\...\Zimbra Desktop) to the new location
2) update this registry key with your new path to data:
3) restart zdCode:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\DataRoot
Dear sir:
I still failed ..
I changed the "C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\win32\zdrun.vbs",
to modified the GetDataRoot = "d:\zimbra_data".
We got confuse that could not change the data store to location whe the
first time to install zimbra desktop .
We need to change the default mail data into location , thank you!
Almost are Windows XP ..
some clients are Windows Vista and Windows 7 .
We had already download the new zimbra desktop version 2.0.1.
The problem is , if the mail data stored in default profile,
seems the performance and the drive c will get less free space.
So , we hope to change the zimbra store to drive d or other drive.
Thanks for your kindly responds!
I am just downloading ZD now and browsing thro the FAQ.
The only point I wanted to raise in the Forum is my need to have the User Data from the default location to my own customized location in my secondary HD (where I store all my data, segregated from the OS HD).
And I am happy to note the same subject as a 'sticky' post in the forum.
And more happy to see that I am not alone with this request.
Is there any update / solution from ZD for this request ?
Please reply.
Thanks & Regards
My OS : Windows XP Pro

CENTREVILLE, Va. (WUSA9) -- Fairfax County police say a 25-year-old Centreville, Va. man was charged after reportedly tailgating and striking another vehicle, then fleeing on the Fairfax County Parkway on Sunday.
According to police, Juan Carlos Gudiel, driving a Ford Explorer, allegedly tailgated then rear-ended a 2003 Honda, before pulling alongside the Honda and side-swiping it. Police say he then sped off. The driver of the Honda, however, was able to copy his license plate and call 9-1-1, according to police.
county police say Gudiel's Explorer continued onto I-66 westbound where Virginia State Police showed up. The car continued onto Lee Highway, where Gudiel reportedly ran a red light. Police say he turned onto Stone Road. Troopers were then able to stop him, according to police.
Gudiel was charged with reckless driving speeding to elude, disregarding a red light, resisting arrest, driving under the influence by the Virginia State Police. Fairfax County officers then charged Gudiel with attempted malicious wounding, felony hit and run, and driving on a suspended license.

Guardian Angels and Grateful Patients Making a Difference
In December 2008, 4-year-old Reid Ames' life was changed forever when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Throughout their journey, the Ames family has relied on the knowledge and care of the doctors and nurses of Sanford Health.
"We especially appreciate Dr. Kenien. He is an integral part of a small group that we can't imagine our life without," said Brooke Ames, Reid's mother. "Dr. Kenien and his team held our hands through the scary stuff, taught us what we never thought we would understand and have constantly reminded us that we can do this."
The Ames family wanted to find a special way to show their appreciation for Dr. Alan Kenien, pediatric endocrinologist, and the Guardian Angel program at Sanford Health was a perfect fit.
"We wanted to recognize Dr. Kenien for the care and concern that he showed Reid and my family over the last four years," Brooke said. "He welcomed our calls, even on the weekends, and his follow up outside of clinic hours have made the difference in our coping successfully with Reid's disease."
While Reid still works to regulate his blood sugar, he and his family know their support system at Sanford Health will always be there, anytime of day or night. "Dr. Kenien has been the calm in our storm for the past four years – he is our guardian angel."
The Guardian Angel program provides a unique way for patients and families to thank a Sanford doctor, nurse, staff member or volunteer who has made the hospital experience special. A donation to the program in his or her name not only recognizes exceptional care, but will enhance patient experiences in the future.
Gifts to the program are used to expand programs and services, provide advanced training for medical staff and purchase state-of-the art equipment. Those honored as Guardian Angels receive a beautiful angel pin to wear proudly.
To learn more about Guardian Angel or to make a gift, visit SanfordHealthFoundation.org or call (605) 328-5700.

In 1901, President L.H. Green of the New England Development and Improvement Company named Auburndale after his New England hometown. Previously the ninety acres had been the farm of Mr. Thomas Willet. Auburndale was born in 1901 as a housing development.
During the twentieth century, New York City experienced one of the most rapid population increases in history. With the railroad expansion and the creation of the city of Greater New York, Queens was no longer a backwater to the cities of Brooklyn and New York. Queens' population grew steadily through to the 1940s. Bridges linked Queens to both Manhattan and the Bronx. After World War II, Auburndale's population and demographics exploded. The GI Bill recipients coupled with immigrants fleeing post-war Europe flooded into Queens. By the 1960s, Auburndale did not look anything like a family farm.
The most dramatic changes occurred in the last two decades of the 1900s, from 1980-2000. As census records for 2000 show, the population of foreign-born immigrants has reached forty percent. Many of these speak a language other than English at home. High density housing is now the norm, replacing single family dwellings.
The library at Auburndale was established in the year 1930 when the developer of the area and the local Democratic Club provided space in the form of a store, rent-free. The library moved twice since then to rented store facilities on 32nd Avenue. City funds for the new branch were first approved in May 1964, and a Federal grant of $103,375 was approved in June 1966 under the Library Services and Construction Act. On October 20, 1969, A city–owned facility was opened at the present site in October 2010, after 4 months renovation, the modern high- technology Auburndale Library was reopened with fully RFID equipped and self-check in .machine.

Tarpon, bonefish to become catch-and-release
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 9:20 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 9:20 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tarpon and bonefish will become catch-and-release only beginning Sept. 1.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved these management measures at its June meeting. Officials say the catch-and-release proposal was adopted because the economic and fishing values of bonefish and tarpon greatly exceed their value as food.
As of Sept. 1 in state and federal waters off Florida, possession of a single tarpon will be allowed only when in pursuit of an International Game Fish Association record. Tarpon 40 inches or more must stay in the water at all times. FWC staff determined that larger fish are harmed if withdrawn from the supporting waters.
Officials have also eliminated the bonefish tournament exemption, which allowed tournament anglers to transport bonefish to a tournament scale.

Enjoy a serving of this indulgent tart on a special occasion.
For best results, bake tart on rack in lower third of oven.
Refrigerate leftovers.
For a more golden brown crust, lightly beat 1 egg yolk with 1 tsp. water. Brush onto edges of unbaked crust; sprinkle with 2 tsp. sugar. Bake as directed.

I am much more of cook than a baker but this recipe is a keeper!! I had orange Jell-O on hand and used it instead of going to the store to get lemon. Two large apples was more than enough. I had to test taste them before arranging the slices side by side in two rows. I shared a photo with my Facebook friends as I was so proud of it.
This is absolutely delicious! Too bad it only uses 2 apples (I'm looking to use up the lg. bag we just picked). I guess I'll just have to make it again...and again...and again! Yum!

Although the office may have a tumultuous recent history, both candidates for the Town of Hempstead clerk post said they are looking to the future and hope to have the chance to serve residents with integrity.
The incumbent, Republican Nasrin Ahmad, is seeking election to her position for the first time. The Salisbury resident and former administrative supervisor in the clerk's office was appointed to the post by the town board on Sept. 3.
Ahmad, who was born in Uganda and raised in the United Kingdom, said she was pleased to take on the job last month and hopes to continue assisting town residents. Democrat Jasmine Garcia-Vieux, a lawyer originally from Queens who now lives in Levittown, said she is challenging her for the spot because she wants to help grow the relationship between the community and elected officials.

Nasrin Ahmad is NOT ethically qualified to be in public office. See video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xMVJ7Qb5_M
That is just one instance, she has treated many residents unfairly, especially at the April 9,2013 redistricting hearing

It is obvious that Jasmine Garcia Vieux is the most qualified candidate.
She is an attorney with management experience. She obviously has a plan in mind once she's in office.
She has my vote!

An out-of-sorts Serena Williams paid the price for her heroics this week in Sydney.
The 9-time Grand Slammer, who saved a total of 7 match points in her matches against Samantha Stosur + Caroline Wozniacki, got absolutely pummeled in the semifinals by Elena Dementieva 6-3, 6-1 in 68 minutes, her second consecutive loss to the Russian (Moscow, Beijing Olympics). It will be an all-Russian final (and Olympics final rematch won by Elena) when she battles Dinara Safina for the title.
I never worry about ReRe's bad losses or form prior to majors, especially the Aussie Open where she's 3-time champ. She could come in with one leg and one hitting arm and still at least make the final.
So no worries ReRe. Little do they know you've got them right where you want them.

You didn't mention it, but I thought this was important:ReplyDelete
"I wasn't moving as I wanted to," ... "I gave it away more than anything. I made a lot of errors and made her look like a champion, really. I just pretty much gave her the match"
She also said she thinks she is still the best. So, dont worryy, because she's not :)
- johanneJanuary 15, 2009 at 7:20 AM
Serena acting ungracious in defeat?! Says her opponent won because she messed up, not because she lost it?! I'm SHOCKED.ReplyDelete
*jo says, dripping with sarcasm*
If these quotes are true, then GROSS.
- AnonymousJanuary 15, 2009 at 7:29 AM
I think Serena still is the best. Clearly she turns it on when she feels like it. The only player that has ever had her number is Henin. Sometimes I think Serena WANTS people to dismiss her, it suits her fighter mentality.ReplyDelete
And I just can't figure out Elena. She can beat all the top players but never at the right time, never in a major. She seems to choke in majors.
anon/johanne: exactly - the quote is def not a shocker and goes without saying. i was thinking it would be the "quote of the day" so we'll see. i'm waiting to see if someone will top that one.ReplyDelete
*crosses fingers, diligently scours news feeds*
in fact i'm sure even elena wasn't surprised or wouldn't be surprised to hear it.
lisa: i was commenting with someone about your exact question the other day. she's one of the WTA's true enigmas - you root for her but she always lets down when it gets tight. who knows if the olympics win will translate this year but her best window was in '04. her serve is clearly better than it was then so we'll see.
this win is a great sign though, out-of-sorts ReRe or not
"I gave it away more than anything," said Williams, who denied injuryReplyDelete
or fatigue played a factor in the loss to the in-form Russian. "I made
a lot of errors and made her look like a champ, really. I just pretty
much gave her the match."
thanks for the full quotes guys - ReRe's ugly quote is def in the lead for QOTD!ReplyDelete

Missing Ocklawaha man found safe

Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 6:54 a.m.
An Ocklawaha man missing since 1 a.m. Wednesday was located safe and sound late Thursday, sheriff's officials said.
Authorities said Patrick Dennis Smith had gone to Gainesville for a medical appointment and was staying at his mom's home, but that family had not been made aware of those plans.
Sheriff's officials said they searched much of the day Thursday for Smith but the search turned up nothing. Then late Thursday, it was discovered that Smith was in fact OK and at his mother's home.

I would waste my time hunting with a stick for sheep, especially after I spent the time to draw a tag.
Then again I quit bowhunting in the early 1990s, and unless some strange law keeps me from rifles I won't bowhunt again. I might end up with a crossbow if things are favorable, but I doubt it.
An unused sheep tag is liking paying a $20,000 high dollar prostitute for her nightly services, and then making her sleep in the truck.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- As the US Gymnastics Olympic Trials kick off in one week, a former champion is facing a new battle.
The most decorated US gymnast Shannon Miller was in St. Louis for the Visa Championships a few weeks ago.
In January 2011, Miller was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when doctors found a tumor the size of a baseball.
For many women, its not just the treatment that takes a toll physically and mentally on their bodies, there's also the emotional struggle of losing your hair.
For Miller, that was her new reality and she vowed to help others in the same situation embrace being bald. When she underwent chemotherapy, her own prognosis wasn't a priority, it was that her son Rocco and how he might react or be afraid of how she looked.
Miller said he "took it like a champ" and just looked at it as mommy's new hairstyle. From that point on, she compared it to a fall in competition.
She turned this horrible situation into a way to help others. Her company, Shannon Miller Lifestyle, encompasses all the things that have helped her along the way.
The key is not only eating healthy, but truly living a healthy lifestyle.

Today's information consumers need easy, intuitive access to a comprehensive collection of the wealth of resources libraries make available. WorldCat provides a hub for that data, as well as services and applications to find anything held in library collections, efficiently and quickly from anywhere.
A foundation of shared data
WorldCat represents a "collective collection" of the world's libraries, built through the contributions of librarians, expanded and enhanced through individual, regional and national programs. WorldCat represents the electronic and digital materials most in demand by information seekers, as well as the important, unique items found only in local libraries.
WorldCat connects library users to hundreds of millions of electronic resources, including e-books, licensed databases, online periodicals and collections of digital items. The WorldCat knowledge base combines data about your library's electronic resources and linking features that enable access to the content and help you manage the workflows associated with these materials.
As the needs of libraries and their users expand, OCLC is working with libraries to collect, manage and share new types of library data.
- More data about the library's "collective collection": e-books and licensed materials, special collections, open access materials
- More institutional data: vendor records, patron data and library information, such as open hours and lending policies
- Transactional and workflow data: acquisitions and circulations data, resolver transactions, knowledge base transactions, search and interlibrary lending
Discovery and delivery at Webscale
OCLC's discovery services allow libraries to expand their visibility and reach on the Web by connecting information seekers directly to the relevant information in their collections. WorldCat.org makes the items in libraries' collections visible and available on the open Web. WorldCat Local customizes and enhances this service for a specific institution or consortium.
Partnerships with major search engines and hundreds of other content suppliers and aggregators provide discovery and delivery of library materials in the broadest Web environment. Library materials are integrated into the workflows of scholars, researchers and information seekers.
Latest initiatives: Linked data
Linked data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. Built on general Web technologies, linked data uses URIs (generic Web-addressable identifiers to identify entities or concepts in the world) and RDF (a generic method of describing links between structured data in a graph-based data model).
The opportunities that linked data provides to the global library community are important and are in line with OCLC's core strategy of "collaboratively building Webscale with libraries." Linked data is one of the ways OCLC can help libraries increase their presence and discoverability on the Web.

And here is my redesigned map and counters.
I found this game as a free download on Consimworld, and wanted to redo the map. I was inspired by the wire diagrams and old-school video games from the late 90's. Here is some examples of what the game looks like now, in its dowloadable form.

And here is my redesigned map and counters.
It looks interesting How does it play? This is meant as a board game, right?
I've pushed around the counters a bit but havent actually played the game myself. Its a board war-game, with some rather involved rules. The counters have been rather finicky to build. But the map was pure fun to make!
Looks nice, but I have two suggestions:
1) Continue borders until they hit the map's edge, even for nations not "in" the game. The original does this too, and ti just looks unnatural the way it is now. Perhaps using a less bright color for those borders differentiates them well from the nations that are playable territotries.
2) Use a darker color for the seas. I think this will make the map much easier to "read", right now my eyes have trouble fixing on land vs water.

Driving While Distracted Citations Go Beyond DUI
Many have argued that DUI should be just one reason to cite a driver for driving when he shouldn't be. Over-the-road truck driving have long been required to get enough sleep.
Now, states are considering laws against using technology while driving.
According to USA Today, states across the country are passing bills banning the use of technology, such as fax machines, DVD players, and video games, while driving. Most bills mandate a fine between $50 and $600.
In California, 3,200 drivers have been pulled over for watching DVDs and TVs since 2003.
Washington recently banned texting while driving. "TWD" carries a $101 fine. Several months ago, in Colorado, a bicyclist was killed by a driver who was texting. Strangely enough, the Colorado legislature has not passed a no texting bill.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The D.C. Council is scheduled to take a preliminary vote on increasing the District of Columbia's minimum wage to $11.50 an hour, one of the nation's highest.
Tuesday's vote comes after similar minimum wage hikes approved by lawmakers in suburban Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray supports raising the minimum wage from its current $8.25 to $10 an hour, but not higher. The council and the mayor clashed earlier this year on raising wages for workers at Wal-Mart and other big-box stores.
The minimum wage bill already has enough support to override a potential mayoral veto. Supporters say raising the minimum wage will allow low-wage workers to benefit from the city's prosperity, while opponents worry it will hurt the job market.

|Chase County Fair Grand Marshals embody "Spirit of America"
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 24 July 2013 16:59
Representing veterans from five wars are Chase County Fair Parade Grand Marshals, from left, Pastor David Kahle, Robert Fanning, Vincent Marvin, David Oxford and Kerry Shinn. The parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. MT Aug. 17 in Imperial. (Imperial Republican photo)
By Carolyn Lee
The Imperial Republican
The five Grand Marshals chosen to lead the Chase County Fair parade this August are a living example of the theme "Spirit of America." All five are Chase County residents and veterans, each representing a different war or campaign.
On Saturday, Aug. 17 the following will be riding in restored vintage vehicles: Vincent Marvin, representing World War II; Robert Fanning, representing the Korean War; David Oxford, representing the Vietnam War; Pastor David Kahle representing Desert Storm, and Kerry Shinn, representing Iraqi Freedom.
"We take pride in recognizing those who have served and sacrificed to defend our freedom," the Fair Parade Committee stated. "We extend a big hand to these Grand Marshals and to those they represent who have served within our community."
Marvin was a 21-year-old when he joined the Army Signal Corps as a T5 Technician. During World War II he served as a high speed radio operator behind the front lines at Normandy.
"We were trying to fool the enemy," he explained. "They weren't real messages" he and his fellow soldiers were sending.
"I never fired a rifle, never saw a dead soldier, didn't do anything heroic," he added.
Marvin was also a company barber for B Company 3103 Battalion for a year during his service from August 1942 to November 1945.
He was also sent to Cornell University by the Army to study engineering for a year.
Robert Fanning was 18 years old when he joined the Navy in 1951. As a Ship Serviceman SH3 he ran a ship store on the USS Okanagen APA 220, traveling to Japan, China, Okinawa and North and South Korea. His ship transported troops to both North and South Korea during that war.
During his service from 1951-55, Fanning also cooked hamburgers at a beer garden in Hawaii.
He noted that of the 13 young men from the Imperial area who served during the Korean War, he spent the entire four years and two days with the late Gail Rowley, also of Imperial.
Fanning said he liked serving in the Navy.
David Oxford was 19 years old when he joined the Army 9th Division as an infantryman, or "ground pounder" during the Vietnam War.
"You grew up over there real fast," he noted, hiking, riding helicopters and taking boats to different locations for fighting.
Oxford and wife Linda were married three weeks after they graduated from high school, and he turned 20 one month after he landed in Vietnam. So, after he returned from service (1968-70) the couple spent their third anniversary finally together, trying to eat the top of the wedding cake that they had saved. "It wasn't very good," he laughed.
Pastor David Kahle served in the Army twice, with a stint in ROTC and Army National Guard in between.
From July 1987 to July 1991 he was a Cavalry Scout for the 1st Squadron 2nd Cavalry Regiment out of Germany, participating in Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia.
He was a gunner on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, leading the Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf "punch" in Saudi Arabia.
Kahle then was in the National Guard in Kearney for a year before serving in ROTC from 1993-96 while attending school to become a Registered Nurse.
He then reenlisted as a Nurse Corps Officer from March 1996-2000 with the Army Medical Division, stationed in Fort Knox, Ky., and Seoul, South Korea, serving at base hospitals.
Kahle was 21 when he first enlisted. "I had a lot of growing up to do and needed motivation, so that was a huge maturity boost," he said.
When he got out of the Army the first time, Kahle said he knew he didn't want to be a calvary officer for the rest of his life. But when the Army called again, he was ready, this time as a Registered Nurse.
Kerry Shinn graduated from Chase County High School May 26, 2002, enlisted in the Army as a SPC E4 on June 11 of that year, and was in Iraq that same fall. He was 18 years old.
Shinn served with the Big Red One 15th Field Artillery in the infantry out of Fort Riley, Kan., from 2002-2005, and in 2003-04 was in Iraq with Iraqi Freedom.
He was also stationed in Korea and Germany.
"The experience changed me, some for the good, some for the bad," he said. As an 18-year-old he said he didn't feel young. He grew up fast and was put in charge of a number of important actions and decisions.
The Chase County Fair Parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 17, running in a route from the Imperial Manor east on 10th Street to Broadway, then south to the end of Broadway.
The lineup will begin at 8:30 a.m., with judging at 9 a.m.
Categories include organizations, open class, religious, business and professional and equestrian.
Entry forms for "Spirit of America" may be found in this week's newspaper or at The Imperial Republican office. They may be returned to the newspaper office or mailed to Parade Committee, PO Box 727, Imperial, NE 69033, (308) 882-4453.

Chris Evert, who married golfer Greg Norman in the Bahamas last month, publicly admitted for the first time that the two sports legends carried on an illicit affair culminating in a divorce from their respective partners.
As I wrote back in December of last year, the couple had known each other for many years as Greg was best friends with Chris' ex-husband Andy Mills. The 18-time Grand Slammer told Vogue magazine their attraction to each other was unstoppable and apparently unavoidable:
It was like an irresistible force. How do you explain something like that?You would think Chris would know the answer to that question after three marriages, but I guess ignorance is bliss...for now.

"Illicit affair"! Such a legalese speak and with a clear tone of prudish disapproval. America always amazes me in that regard, even in its blogs!ReplyDelete
Try to look at it this way: the mere fact they ended up married gives credence to the claim that indeed their relationship is much more than a silly affair. Nobody disturbs whole lives of 2 families for nothing. Illicit affair is when you cheat on a spouse and stay married. This is just the opposite: them proving by their future lives that their decision was the right one.
wow more america bashing - we're on a roll here!ReplyDelete
the affair itself was "illicit" because they were married at the time - the definition of the term has nothing to do with the fact that they ended up dumping their marriages to get together.
"Nobody disturbs whole lives of 2 families for nothing" - that's crap. people do fucked up things all the time whether others are involved or not and for our own reasons. it's called being human. how they handled it within their families we have no idea, we can only hope it was amicable for all involved - but not likely.
i hope it does work out for them - it's a lot to go through to have it fall apart. but does the end justify the means? i think only they can answer that question.
You go, Rich!

'His heart, His hands, His feet'
Zimbabwe | As a nation collapses, God's people are making a difference
"'His heart, His hands, His feet'" Continued...
The following is a follow-up letter from the pastor in Zimbabwe who wrote to WORLD readers in the July 12, 2008, issue ("Lord, how long will I call and you will not answer?"). He has asked to remain unidentified for security reasons.
Dear Friends,
Warm greetings again from Zimbabwe, where the overcast weather outside is a visible token of the goodness of God in supplying so far a wonderful rainy season in a year where, due to the national collapse, poor rains or excessive rains would have sounded the death knell for many in our land. In a sense, this epitomizes our situation at the moment, in such dire straits, and yet regularly, here and there, little reminders of the Lord's faithfulness and goodness.
Much has happened since last I wrote. My last letter was woven around the theme of [victimization], and I shared a concern for so many who are victims of the degradation of this nation and the abuse of this people. Were I to supply a single word for the present state of the people, I suppose the word demoralized would fit. After years of raised expectations and then dashed hopes, of broken promises and unfulfilled commitments, of ineffective international pressures and inaccurate regional conclusions, of daily struggles to meet basic needs in the context of an increasingly obstructive and inept governmental system, the little stream of hope amongst the people of Zimbabwe runs very shallow and very slow at the moment. Even with regard to the agreement to form a government of national unity and even in the light of the very recent bill passed in parliament creating the post of prime minister for [opposition leader Morgan] Tsvangarai, people are reluctant to raise their hopes too high. If once bitten is twice shy, then what of often bitten?
As a Christian however, though hope on a human solution has sunk low, I think faith in a Divine agenda has been refined. When years ago, watching our struggling people, I asked the Lord why He was allowing such struggles and what He was doing, the answer impressed upon my mind was that He was making His people more like Jesus, His Son. I see that happening here amongst the people of God. When several months ago, seeing our tired people plodding wearily on in their faith, I challenged the Lord concerning His lack of care, His indifference to suffering and His inactivity in answering, He took us to Habakkuk and told us that He was refining the faith of His people so that they would trust Him, no matter what, when He seemed uncaring, when He seemed silent, when He seemed inactive.
I see that happening here among the people of God. When near the end of last year, the human suffering grew and poverty increased and cholera broke out, and we asked the Lord why He was not meeting needs and helping, He answered that He was, and asked us what we had to offer. And He took the few loaves that were in our hands, and made them food for many as Christians do what they can to feed and help the poor, and minister to the sick and encourage the downtrodden. And when it seemed that there were no more loaves to make available, friends from South Africa moved by the Spirit would drive up with pick-up truck loads and small car loads of food for the poor and elderly, and widows, or out of the blue (and we know who rules in the blue!) a donation of money would come from a saint overseas who had heard the voice of the Spirit.
And a glance at the face of God would show upon His lips a smile of knowing care and a gentle reproof for little faith. And when yet again, as we so often do these days, we pray at a service for yet another young person who is leaving the country, or a family emigrating for economic or educational reasons, and I ask God why He is taking so many good people away from an already weakened church, He points around the world at other places of spiritual need, and challenges us to be sure that those we lay hands on and send with our blessing, go well trained for service and in love with Savior and ready to extend the kingdom wherever they go.
He may paint strangely at the moment, but paint He does, and one day, the picture will be seen to be perfect. In the mean time, Lord, make us obedient brushes!
On a more objective note, let me briefly describe the situation in our country. If demoralized is right to describe the people, then I suppose collapsed is the word to describe the society. To all intents and purposes, the Zimbabwe dollar economy has collapsed, the informal market has been running for months on a US$ and South African Rand basis, and recently the governing powers, never ones for keeping up with reality and acting proactively, have capitulated and allowed trade in dual currencies.
On one level, this has helped businesses, who can stabilize somewhat, and customers who have access to hard currency. On another level, it has simply added to the burdens of those who cannot either trade in hard currency or access hard currency. The vicious cycle of inflation has changed color now-it is green-we are now experiencing US$ inflation. Though doctors and hospitals now can legally charge in hard currency, the prices being charged are well beyond the reach of the average person. Already we are seeing an acceleration in the already rapid disparity between the rich and the poor. Added to this is the almost unbelievable estimate of unemployment in the mid 90%s!
As the economy has collapsed, so have other sectors of the society. Government schools have ground to a halt, teachers are refusing to come to work, headmasters are trying to charge in hard currency to entice teachers back, while the Ministry of Education drags its heels on urgent changes needed in policies. School parent organizations charge informal levies on parents in hard currency, but have to do so at a rate that the vast majority cannot afford; anything less would be too little for the school to operate. The National University has been closed. University students recently rioted when told they would need to provide USD400 within a week if they wanted to write their exams, students whose average family income for a month is probably well below USD40.
The medical sector is in disarray, hospitals and clinics with closed doors, doctors not to be found for even the most urgent of needs, nurses on strike. And of course, cholera. Cholera is an embarrassment to a government, for it points to poor sanitation and the lack of providing even the most basic of services in a city. But what is an embarrassment to a government is a death sentence to thousands. And were it not for aid agencies and churches, so many more would die.
Roads have collapsed, literally, pot holes opening up in even our busiest streets and not being repaired. The electricity system is collapsing, as is the water system and sanitation, refuse collection is a thing of the past, though still an item on a monthly bill from the city council. The telecommunications system likewise is in growing disrepair. One wonders how any individuals within a government that has presided over such a wanton destruction of a nation and such a vicious impoverishment of a people can stand in the morning and even look at his or her face in a mirror without shame.
The result is a growing national need, a growing mass of people in need, and a growing challenge to our fledgling Government of National Unity. But also, greater opportunity for the people of God to be His Heart, His hands, His feet and make a difference. And by His Spirit and through the heart of His Son, people of God are rising up to meet needs-providing food for thousands each month, coordinating food distribution to sister churches, helping with fertilizer to rural communities, providing, through a volunteer, 80 year old doctor, free medical service to poor people once a week, using medicines donated from friends outside, assisting people with payment of school fees, and hospital bills, cleaning our local streets and seeking in a variety of ways to be salt and light as our Lord desires.

|Donahue gets down to business about abstinence education
|Written by Darci Tomky
|Wednesday, 30 January 2013 14:39
A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center Banquet's 2012 guest speaker Shelly Donahue returned again this year for a no-nonsense talk on abstinence education.
A large crowd gathered at Phillips County Event Center Saturday, Jan. 26 for the annual fundraising dinner.
This co-author of WAIT (Why Am I Tempted?) Training spreads the message that kids should abstain from sex until marriage.
"When you give the Devil an inch, he takes a mile," said Donahue. "We've got to keep the door shut on sexual sin."
She encouraged parents and grandparents to keep talking with their kids and to set the bar high when it comes to sexual self control.
A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center banquet guest speaker Shelly Donahue
"They're dying to talk," said Donahue, who looks for all the teachable moments she can take advantage of with her kids, whether it's role playing a situation or interviewing their prom dates.
She said kids today are very intellectually smart, but "nobody's home when it comes to common sense!" They aren't learning basic skills that make their brains better.
"Our culture is picking away at their protective covering, so we have to be that for them," she said.
Parents put a very high standard on kids for schoolwork, sports and other activities, so why don't they have a high standard for sexual self control? "When we were growing up, we had a bar and it was called marriage," she said.
Donahue encouraged the audience to support centers like A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center and abstinence education, which has not been funded by the government since 2008. She said all the money is going to kill babies, so the focus should be on keeping those babies from being conceived.
Center celebrates good year
During the banquet, Jan Loesch, executive director of A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center, reported that in 2012 they served a diverse clientele of 72 men and women, with only four of them being minors. The clients gave birth to 25 babies including four sets of twins.
She said it is the only center in Colorado that is mission-based, bringing vital resources to the communities in the counties they serve.
"As Christians, we are supposed to be atmosphere changers," said Loesch. Many go to the center without hope, and Loesch is excited to be there for them and to provide them a place to get that hope—a joyful, confident expectancy that good is just around the corner.
The center is having a positive effect on teens and their relationship choices. Since the center began in 1999, Morgan County has experienced a 38 percent reduction in teen pregnancies.
In 2012, Loesch performed a week of WAIT training (a public school curriculum with a focus on abstinence and healthy relationships) to a total of 2,751 students in three counties.
The center now offers a powerful 11-week Bible study for women in the healing process of post abortion trauma.
Pastor Don Smith also gave a report on the new program to train men to mentor boys.
The evening concluded with some entertainment from vocalists Bryan Kroeger, Gary Koch and Mark Phillips.

Hi folks,
we have an issues here where we had a hardware failure that resulted in a new hard disks being installed and a new zimbra system being run up.
I have the data from the old disks and have a few users who's mail I need to get back. The new system is using a later version of ZImbra and the normal recovery things don't seem to be playing happily and neither does trying to add the data into a VM with the old version running on it. The old version is 5.0.14.
I'd be happy just to get them back as mbox or any other format that I can then inject into the new system, or run up some virtual machine and sync it across.
I do have the entire opt directory from the old system if that helps.

Hey everybody,
After upgrading to the latest release, when I compose a message click "To", select "Global Address List" and do the "." search, the list is displayed but it only shows Last Names followed by the email address.
Previously, the GAL would show Last Name, First Name.....
Any thoughts?
