Menomonee Falls - Winter doesn't mean residents have to stay cooped up for months at a time. In fact, an abundance of recreational opportunities await those brave enough to bundle up and step outside.
To start, both villages provide man-made ice skating rinks. Once there are sustaining freezing temperatures, the Kinderberg Park Ice Rink in Germantown will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The rink is free to the public. For updates on if the rink is open, call the Recreation Department hotline at (262) 250-4711.
Kinderberg Park also has a sledding hill open during park hours from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Menomonee Falls floods a portion of the parking lot at Ternary Field to create an ice-skating rink. The village has plugged the storm sewer grate and barricaded the rink area. Now, they are just waiting for low enough temperatures so they can flood that area and have a solid piece of ice, Director of Public Works Arlyn Johnson said.
"Many people are not aware that we do provide an ice-skating rink," he said.
Ski routes galore
An ice-skating rink is not the only amenity maintained by village staff.
With 1,400 acres of parks and trails in the village, a slew of winter recreation is available. The village designates an area for cross country skiing in Rotary Park. A mile-route runs along the river, Johnson said.
The Waukesha County Park System also grooms ski trails in Menomonee Park, which is located in Falls and partly in Lannon.
Menomonee Park's cross country trails consist of three loops that take up 4.5 miles of park land. These ski trails are groomed, packed and tracked weekly for both skating and diagonal patterns, according to Parks Program Specialist Ginny Bocek.
Carol Doebler, Menomonee Falls resident and board member of the Nordic Ski Club of Milwaukee, hits ski trails in both Germantown and Falls.
"I routinely ski at Menomonee Park on Town Line Road in Menomonee Falls. It's always impeccably groomed. In three loops it offers 4.5 miles of gently rolling terrain for traditional diagonal cross-country skiing and skate skiing," Doebler said. "The woods are lovely."
The 105-acre Homestead Hollow County Park in Germantown has skiing as well, but skiers may have to break trail, Doebler said.
"They don't routinely groom it," she said.
New skiers don't have to fret
For those new to cross country skiing, Bocek recommends starting in the beach parking lot at Menomonee Park, which is located in the center of the park and ski trails.
"This is the best way to discover which trails are best suited for them," she said.
The Nordic Ski Club offers free ski lessons on its trips and at its January winter picnic. The Ski Club also leads outings to Milwaukee-area parks, offers weekend bus trips to northern Wisconsin and plans year-round activities.
For those interested in cross country skiing or snowshoeing, visit nordicskiclub.org.
In addition to skiing, Menomonee Park has one sled hill for patrons located in the northeast corner of the park. A map of this location is available at waukesahcountyparks.com. Additional park activities include winter hiking, snowmobiling, winter camping, ice fishing and snowshoeing.
For those who don't want to venture too far from their homes, the Germantown Park and Recreation Department offers a way to get outside and win a prize.
Residents can enter the Recreation Department's Snowman and Snow Creature Contest by submitting a photo of their snow creations. The contest is free to participate and there can only be one entrant per household per category. Preregistration is required via www.village.germantown.wi.us or at the Park and Recreation Department office, W17001 Mequon Road.
Photos must be submitted by Feb. 22 via email to the office or parkrec@village. germantown.wi.us. Winners will be notified by March 1.
Up to three photos can be submitted. If photos are submitted via email, include a name and phone number. Judging will be based on originality and creativity.
"We did it for the first time last year and we ended up with some awesome entries," Germantown Recreation Supervisor Joe Masiarchin said.

We like all of the colorways except for the purple - we've never really been big fans of purple because it's a pretty tough color to work into a good outfit. Of course, we're loving the gray and tank dress with the pink (?) graphic design on the skirt; the white is clean and classic.
Can anyone confirm Maria will be wearing any of the pieces above during the Australian Open next month?

Mt. Airy, NC -- Police are still looking for two suspects after the men attempted a drug deal and then led officers on a chase Friday evening.
Officers responded to the scene of the initial transaction around 6:45 p.m. Police say they tried to stop the vehicle and arrest the people inside, but the driver sped toward the officers, putting them in danger.
Police fired shots into the car, and the suspects drove away from the scene. Several other officers responded to the incident, and the suspects led them on a short chase.
The suspects eventually got away, but police say a woman later arrived at Northern Hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Investigators determined that she was in the suspects' car.
Through further investigation, police identified the driver as 51-year-old Joseph Harold Ezekiel and the passenger as Derrick Ray Simmons, 25.
Warrants have been issued for both of their arrests.
Ezekiel faces charges of conspiracy to sell and deliver a schedule II controlled substance, maintaining a drug vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and felony speed to elude arrest.
Pending charges against Simmons include the sale and delivery of a schedule II controlled substance and conspiracy to sell and deliver a schedule II controlled substance.
Police say the men were in a 2010 Dodge Challenger with the license plate CDB-2463.
Mt. Airy police and the State Bureau of Investigation are looking into this case.
The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in these situations.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Mt. Airy Police Department at 336-786-3535.

|School board candidates look forward to upcoming terms
|Written by Chris Lee
Three candidates will be sworn into office at the Nov. 17 Re-1J school board meeting.
Incumbents Kris Camblin and Jeff Tharp return to the board and will be joined by Kim Killin. Kendon Olofson retires, having fulfilled his two-term limit.
Kim Killin
Joining the school board was something Killin always considered. After participating in a couple of different boards at the state and regional level she decided to get involved locally.
Killin is the chair of the State Transportation Commission and until recently was vice chair of the Republican River Conservation District which she is now a board member.
Killin said another reason for getting involved is some concerns of where school finances are heading on the state and federal level.
With three children in school, Austin, Alyssa and Kade, Killin thought it would be nice to get involved.
She said she is looking forward to getting elected officials involved here in Holyoke. She feels with her state and federal connections she will be capable of accomplishing that.
Killin works at Colver & Killin LLP. She and husband Troy also farm and are involved in a trucking company.
After graduating from Holyoke in 1987, Killin went on to receive her undergraduate from Regis University and her Law Degree from Denver University.
Another reason of joining is so she can give back to the community. Killin said the school system treated her well and was a nice place to go to school. "The school system helped me pave my path," she added.
Kris Camblin
Kris Camblin returns after being a member of the board for three years. Camblin said he got involved three years ago after concerns with school finances were raised. "I thought it was important to get on the school board," he said. "I wanted to make sure I could help in any way that I could."
His decision to stay on the board came after a lot of community support. He said he had numerous phone calls from people telling him he should stay aboard. "I think the school is heading in the right direction and I like to make sure it keeps going in that direction," Camblin said.
He said one of his favorite parts about the board is when teachers attend the meetings and getting to meet them face to face and hear their concerns.
Camblin believes the transition of a new superintendent has been great and a good fit. "Bret has been a breath of fresh air to the school," he said. "He has a good leadership style and is fair with everybody."
He added the school board has worked well together and have all become good friends. "I'm excited for Kim (Killin) to join," he said. "I think she'll be a good asset. I hate to lose Kendon because I think he brought a lot to the board."
Camblin and wife Marla have two children in Holyoke Elementary School—Tyler and Kaylee. He is a construction foreman at Highline Electric.
Camblin calls two places home, Kremmling and Westcliffe. He graduated high school from Custer County and went into the military. He attended Colorado Aero Tech and received his A&P license. He recently went to NJC and received his associate's degree.
Jeff Tharp
Jeff Tharp returns to the board after spending the last four years as a school board member.
Tharp got involved four years ago because he felt it was a duty and obligation to if one was interested or concerned with education or had children involved in the school system.
"I've always found it's easier to sit back and criticize a board than actually be on it," he said. "It's good to experience being on it and understand the depth of the problems you come across."
Tharp also believes Supt. Miles has been a great addition and experienced a smooth transition.
Tharp believes the board is moving in the right direction but still has a rough road ahead, and he is eager to get to work with the board and Supt. Miles.
He mentioned thinking outside of the box and insuring the financial stability of the district is a goal. Working to come up with creative solutions to any concerns the district runs into is another goal.
"One more term can kind of put the final ribbon on the process and see how we turn out," Tharp added.
Tharp attended the University of Wyoming where he received his bachelor's degree in 1980 and master's degree in 1982. He earned his D.V.M. in 1986 from Colorado State. Tharp works as a veterinarian for Holyoke Veterinary Service. His wife Theresa teaches 5th grade at Holyoke Elementary. He has four boys—Jarod, Dillon, Austin and Logan who is in 8th grade in Holyoke.

Ok, so I've spat out a csv of accounts, and am executing zmprov accounts for creating users and modifying privs etc... the script works perfectly and relatively quickly I guess, but it seems that at a certain point zmprov stops really responding to requests.
Running inside unix time command (ex. time ./AccountImport.pl) it runs for a bit then just stops spitting anything out at all, and hitting crtl+c will say it ran for approx 30-40 minutes. Problem is we're only getting through about 700 of ~3k accounts.
Is this a problem with mysql or problem committing transactions or any other ideas for that matter?

Sounds good, I just started a map for this.
This month's challenge is to map an archetypical fantasy town.
Play it straight or for laughs but try to get in as many fantasy tropes as you can.
The challenge will close on or about 15th January - there's not much time, so best of luck!
Good luck to all!

Good idea for a challenge! Thank you so so much to Ravells; I've been out of commission and internetless for the most part for the last couple of weeks (moving), and he saved my bacon by closing out the last challenge and setting up this one.
Thanks again, man!
No worries, Diamond! I'm going abroad day after tomorrow, so over to you!
What day is this map due? I'd love to participate, but it'll be hand drawn, so I'll try to scan it or take a picture of it.
The lite challenges usually end on/or about the 15th. We need more entries, come on in!
I'm working on it, but didn't want to post unless I was sure I'd finish.
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

Price went 20-5 to tie Jered Weaver for the American League lead in victories and winning percentage. The 27-year-old lefty had the lowest ERA at 2.56 and finished sixth in strikeouts with 205.
The NL Cy Young winner was to be announced later Wednesday.

CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (KXTV) - A text message sent to the wrong person leads to an FBI child pornography bust.
According to federal court documents, U.S. Marshals arrested 42-year-old Jason Wymer earlier this week for receiving and possessing thousands of child pornography files.
The complaint said the FBI was tipped off about Wymer after a mother reported she accidentally texted him. The mom said she tried to send a cell phone picture of her 8-year-old daughter to her older daughter. In the photo, the 8-year-old girl was fully clothed and standing next to a candy display. The mom misdialed her daughter's number and ended up sending the photo to Wymer's phone.
The court documents said Wymer allegedly texted back asking for more photos of the girl. That's when the mom emailed an FBI agent, who texted Wymer back posing as the girl.
Wymer sent several sexually explicit texts throughout the course of several weeks until agents executed a search warrant of Wymer's apartment earlier this week.
Court documents do not state if there was evidence Wymer sexually abused any child.

New Hanover hospital to expand emergency services to Porters Neck
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center plans to expand emergency services to the Porters Neck area.
The hospital has filed an application with the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation to build a satellite emergency department at 9110 Market St., next to Atlantic Surgicenter and about a half-mile south of Poplar Grove Plantation.
The emergency department would be staffed around the clock by board-certified emergency physicians and specially trained nurses, said Erin Balzotti, spokesperson for NHRMC.
According to county tax records, New Hanover Regional Medical Center bought 27 acres of land at 9110 Market St. in 2007 for a price of $5.1 million.
If the state grants approval, construction on the $15.1 million project is expected to begin in early 2014 with completion in spring of 2015. The facility will cover 30,000 square feet and house 10 treatment rooms and one critical care room, Balzotti said.
The tentative projected opening date is October 2015.
The NHRMC Health & Diagnostics-Porters Neck, which provides CT scan, ultrasound, MRI and x-ray services, would move from its location at 8115 Market St. to the new facility.
"Because this will improve access to emergency medical care in the northern part of the county, we think this will lead to greater patient satisfaction and meet the needs of the continually growing population in our area," Balzotti said.
Medac, which is not affiliated with NHRMC, also offers emergency care in the Porters Neck area. Patricia Kiley, interim practice administrator for Medac, said the Porters Neck facility will remain open.
"Medac will continue to serve the public as it has for the past 25 years," Kiley said.
A public hearing for the NHRMC emergency department project will be held at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 16 at the New Hanover County Public Library, 201 Chestnut St., Wilmington.

A week left to decide....
We are completely undecided on a name with a week to go. Pretty desperate for some outside input, I am not going to list my faves and have removed them from my signature.... just based on our other children's names, what would you name their little brother?
Older brothers are Colten James and Chase Michael. Last name sounds sounds like Owen. Middle name options honouring family are Daniel, Robert, or William, but we are open to using something that sounds good if those don't work for a particular name, if we love it. Our only real criteria is that the name matches in feel to our other boys' names. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Wow!! I can't wait to go shed hunting, but there is 9 feet of snow in the bush here. You lucky southern folk!!!!
Has anyone had much luck looking for sheds this year?
Wow!! I can't wait to go shed hunting, but there is 9 feet of snow in the bush here. You lucky southern folk!!!!
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
Nice set of moose palms so far. Too much fresh snow lately to look for others.
Yep..I picked up sheds 49,50,and 51 yesterday..
too much snow! In fact it's coming down fast and furious as I type right now. No shortage of water this year!
Lotsa snow here to..Come and spring!!!
Can't pick 'em up here til May 1st, I know where I'm going to be on that day though. Have been driving by a really nice 180 class buck about once a week, he only had his left side when I saw him on Wednesday. I have seen a few small sheds laying around in the sagebrush while I was working and marked them on the GPS, I'm sure I'll start seeing a lot more after the 2 ft of snow melts.
Anyone know why the G&F only limits shed collecting in WY west of the Cont Divide? Doesn't really make sense to me.
I used to live in the city, drove up every weekend to see how far into the hills I could get. Every year I waited to June or later to get in. So in 09 I had a bright idea to move up to the mountain and live there so I could be closer. The only drawback, is just because I moved closer doesnt mean I can hit those hills sooner. I just get to stair out the window at the 5 foot of snow instead of a drive up to see it.
SERIOUS cabin fever sets in about now. All my gear is gone through, cleaned, packed, checked, held, and touched...lol
Sometimes I even put on my pack and chase the dog just to find something to do.....
So in other words, NO, I have not gone out shed hunting yet.....
I hunt because......

How does the iSync connector find conflicts? For the fun of it, I have set up the sync to "Manually" on my Mac, I modified a email address of a contact, and I did the same thing on my iPhone (same contact, but different email address). After done that, I launched a manual sync on my Mac, and the contact's email address from my Mac was updated to ZCS (and my iPhone). I did the same steps a second time, and this time, the contact on my Mac was updated with the one coming from my iPhone! So not only I wasn't told that a conflict was there, but the behavior was different :-/
Enabling "Show data change alert" didn't change anything.

May 24, 2016
Tallahassee, FL - Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher has granted redshirt junior quarterback Clint Trickett a release from his scholarship.
"After a long meeting with Clint, he expressed he'd like to explore another playing opportunity, and I've signed off on his wish. Clint has not only been a great player for our program, but a great young man and ambassador for Florida State who will graduate in a few weeks. He's been a part of this program for a long time and we wish nothing but the best for him in his future endeavors."
Trickett saw action in eight games in 2012 and completed 16 of his first 20 passes over three games (Murray State, Savannah State and Wake Forest). He finished the season completing 22-of-34 (64.7) for 272 yards. Trickett started two (Clemson, Wake Forest) of the nine games he played in during the 2011 season as a redshirt freshman. Trickett threw for a career-high 336 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in his first career start at Clemson. He was named ACC Rookie of the Week after his performance versus the Tigers. He finished his career at FSU completing 66-of-106 passes for 947 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 games played. He completed 62.3 percent of his passes.
Trickett will graduate in May with a degree in social science from Florida State. He is slated to be a redshirt junior in 2013.
"I had a good time here at Florida State and want to thank everyone for being so good to me," Trickett said. "I'll always be part of the FSU alumni."

Sixaola River Binational Commission Studies Draft Regulations
19 November 2012 | News story
The Binational Commission of the Sixaola River Basin met July 26-27 in Limón, Costa Rica to continue moving ahead on its road map.
Costa Rica (2012). As part of the Road Map formulated in January, the Binational Commission of the Sixaola River Basin met to discuss the first draft of its operating regulations. The session was facilitated by the Executive Secretariats of the Costa Rica-Panama Convention for Border Development, with 15 commission members of the two nationalities in attendance.
As decided at the previous Commission meeting, the Environmental Law Centre of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) was in charge of preparing the first draft of the regulations. The document consists of a preamble with background, a section on universally agreed principles of international cooperation, and a third part with the regulations proposal.
Main points of discussion included the participation of civil society, municipalities and private sector, as well as the stakeholder mapping being conducted in the Sixaola Basin and the Commission's sustainability once the Sixaola Binational Project finalizes.
Participants also discussed including risk management as part of the Project's activities, and points of convergence between the Sixaola Binational Project and the Sixaola Program. In addition, Costa Rica's National Groundwater, Irrigation and Drainage Service (SENARA) gave a presentation on its integrated water resource management program (PRO-GIRH).
IUCN currently executes two projects in the watershed area: Building River Dialogue and Governance (supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation-SDC) and Water Management for Adaptation (supported by the German Government through ICI-BMU) as part of a strategic crosscutting theme fostering transboundary cooperation and comprehensive water resource management.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - The White House is blasting a provocative new video from the NRA which makes reference to the Presidential daughters.
The ad calls President Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for allowing armed security for his family, but questioning it for the rest of the nation's children.
Social media has people fired up on both sides of the gun control debate.
On this rainy Wednesday, armed Secret Service agents surround the Northwest Washington school attended by the Obama girls. That's nothing new: the Secret Service has been protecting presidential families since 1901.
But as provocative new NRA video calls the President an "elitist hypocrite" for his family's protection.
When we showed the ad to a random selection of people in downtown Washington, their responses covered all sides of the debate.
"Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools, when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?"asked another.
"I just think that the NRA is trying to distract from the real issue, which is guns kill people," another added.
But one said, "An ad like that isn't fair to President Obama or to anyone."
And this from another resident, who responded, "The last I checked the Second Amendment was the right to bear arms to reasonably protect your home, and you can do that with small arms, maybe a single-action shotgun, but not large magazine items that are used for maiming and killing large masses of people."
Another said, "The NRA wants to point fingers at other people and try to talk about everything else. We should have guards in schools instead of talking about the real issue, which is guns."
Wrote Debra Hoffman: "I believe we are all created equal and should be treated as such... Why are his children more important than mine?"
Karen Wheatley posted: "To have your entire family guarded by armed guardsmen, and take away my 'Right' to protect my own. That is not only unfair, but ridiculous!!!"
White House spokesman Jay Carney said: "Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight. But to go so far as to make the safety of the President's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly."

A look at some of this week's biggest product recalls and safety information.
Walmart recalls dolls due to burn hazard
Walmart is recalling nearly 200,000 dolls after receiving a dozen reports of children being burned. The My Sweet Love/My Sweet Baby Cuddle Care doll has a circuit board in its chest that can overheat.
The 16-inch doll was sold with a toy medical kit and was sold for $20 exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide through last month. Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and return it to Walmart for a full refund.
Nissan recalls more than a million vehicles for air bag problem
Nissan is recalling almost 990,000 cars, SUVs and minivans in the U.S. because the front passenger air bags may not inflate in a crash.
The recall affects the Altima, Leaf, Pathfinder and Sentra models from the 2013 and 2014 model years, as well as the NV200 Taxi van and Infiniti JX35 SUV from 2013. Also covered is the Infiniti QX50 SUV from 2014.
The company tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the vehicles' computer software may not detect an adult in the passenger seat. If that happens, the air bags won't inflate.
Nissan will notify owners and dealers will update the software for free. The recall is expected to start in mid-April.

does zimbra desktop software save contact files on the computer somewhere?
b/c i did something stupid. while using webmail version of zimbra i deleted a contact folder. about 160+ contacts
i thought no big deal, i go into zimbra desktop and retrieve them. unfortunately i forgot they were synced, so they almost immediately got deleted from zimbra desktop as well.
however, if zimbra desktop saves the data on a computer.. is it possible to get those contacts back? possible to reconstruct the deleted folder and contacts within?

Reports can be wrong. My understanding is that churn in LA was lower than expected.
I doubt it. If the status quo was working and no one was leaving then why would you add the channel? After all this time, really think so? I do not.
While Directv did gain some customers last quarter we have no idea where they were gained at. 66K gained, probably most gained because of NFL Sunday Ticket. Now that window has passed and there is little upcoming to entice someone to Directv. Let's face it, having satellite is a hassle, plain and simple. But for sports we come and we accept. Directv offered, at one point, more sports than everyone else. Now that's just not true. NFL aside, they do not.
Some say Pac 12 Network is not designed for satellite and its hard to make it work according to plan. Ok, even if I accept that, that is yet another thing I give up by having Directv.
Here in Portland Directv refuses to carry CSN-NW - they say because of cost - but paying attention Root Sports (100% owned by Directv) charges more for less overall content available! So another knock on satellite.
Satellite is just not the same anymore. In order to really make it work you need to charge just a little less than cable - the hassle factor - or you need to offer more content to overcome the hassle factor.

This might get a bit long and for that I appologise but I felt this might be of assistance to someone out there maybe since when I notified Zimbra support that I was going to migrate I got the following responce;
Okay so the first line is pretty bog standard but I was supprised to hear from support that I couldn't migrate to between OS versions which i knew to be false. So chork up another dud support ticket responce, serioulsy you'd think after all these years that would get better but it hasn't.Thank you for contacting VMWARE Zimbra Support. Regarding your issue I would like to inform you that we do not support for the Cent OS. Regarding the method to migration of ZCS from one server to another you need to have the same version of OS on both the machines
Anyway moving on... back in March 2006 I went live with the setup mentioned here: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/etc/181...html#post91884
After 6 wonderful years starting with Zimbra 4 and going till Zimbra 7.2.1 it was time to put the old girl to rest. To be honest if Zimbra had released version 8.0.0 on RHEL4 64 I would probably still be using it even though it was getting a bit tired. They didn't so this was the catalyst for change, I decided to build a new server, give it new storage and upgrade to Centos 6.3 and Zimbra 8.0.0.
This is the new rig is hardware certified for Centos and RHEL;
Chenbro 217B 2U Chassis
Zippy 650W Redundant PSU's
2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU's (6 cores, 20mb cache)
SuperMicro X9DRi-F Motherboard
16GB DDR3 ECC Memory
2x Intel 240GB '520' Series SSD's (Raid Mirror)
Instead of using a Qlogic HBA for iSCSI this time I just added an additional Intel Gigabit ET dual port server adaptor to connect to the Dell MD3000i iSCSI target which has the MailStor and Backup volumes on it.
To install Centos 6.3 I grabbed the lastest net install and did a basic server installation noting to give it the exact same hostname as the current production server. From there is was a matter of some fine tuning.
Then I commented out the 'Defaults requiretty' in /etc/sudoersCode:yum update -y service postfix stop chkconfig postfix off yum install nc libstdc++ -y
Next I went about setting up the network, at thing juncture I should mention I have an external firewall that sits infront of my mail environment so the following isn't so scary.
I then editted the required interface files to set eth0 for the lan and eth2 for the iSCSI.Code:service iptables save service iptables stop chkconfig iptables off service ip6tables save service ip6tables stop chkconfig ip6tables off
This was following my making sure /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf matched my production enviroment, note you have to give your new server a dummy IP till you are ready to shutdown the production enviroment, but it needs to have the same hostname.Code:/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
Then it was time to get the iSCSI initiator firing and mounting on boot in fstab;
At this point you should be connected and logged into the iSCSI target, in my case the Dell MD3000i.. easy way to really check is;Code:yum install isci-initiator-utils -y /sbin/iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p $TARGETIP chkconfig iscsi on chkconfig iscsid on /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -o show /sbin/iscsiadm -m node --targetname $iqn.target.string --portal $TargetIP:Port --login /sbin/iscsiadm -m session -o show
which should show you a new device such as /dev/sdc.Code:cat /proc/partitions
Now you have to partition and format the new iSCSI device.
Now we need to mount it on boot;Code:fdisk /dev/sdc n = new partition p = primary w =write mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
Let me stress it is very important to use the _netdev option, failure to do so will make your system unbootable and have you reaching for rescue media to fix fstab.Code:vi /etc/fstab /dev/sdc1 /mnt/path ext4 _netdev 0 0
With the core framework out the way it's time to take care of the Zimbra requirements;
Now comes the fun part, we need to do a dummy install of Zimbra. You must use the same version on the new server as you have on the production server, so if you have 7.2.0 in production you need to install 7.2.0 on the new server not 7.2.1 for example. In my case I upgraded my current production to 7.2.1 which was the lastest supported on Centos 4.Code:yum install glibc-devel sudo linidn gmp ntp -y
Note I am using the RHEL6 version not the RHEL4 one, you want the Zimbra verison that corrisponds to your installed OS.Code:tar zxvf zcs-NETWORK-7.2.1_GA_2790.RHEL6_64.20120815212257.tgz
The -s is extremely important, this installs the Zimbra packages and sets up the user and db etc without configuring Zimbra. At this point to make your life easier you want to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group and make sure the 'Zimbra' user and group have the same uid & gid as your production system.Code:./install -s -platform-override
We need to rename /opt/zimba to /opt/zimbra.dummy, you do not want to delete it just yet as you will be requiring a directory from it later.
We are now ready to copy our data from the production server to the new server. As I have a very large MailStore I did this with the production server in service, to give you an idea it took 2 days to copy my MailStore. Note you run this from your production server not the new server.
This could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days depending on how many users there are and how big their mailboxes are. Once the initial transfer is done you want to stop the Zimbra services on your production server and do the process again, which will be much much faster as it will delete old files and only copy over whats changed. Again make certain the production zimbra services as stopped for the second pass.Code:rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --delete /opt/zimbra $newserverIP:/opt rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --delete /path/to/mailstore $newsererIP:/mnt
At this point you need to shutdown the production server as it's now offically retired. It's now time to change the IP Address on the new server to reflect the IP Address that was assigned to the now retired server. Edit /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 then;Code:rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --delete /opt/zimbra $newserverIP:/opt rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --delete /path/to/mailstore $newsererIP:/mnt
Then check to make sure your new server is responding on the new IP Address. Now with Centos6 and Zimbra using Perl5.10 instead of the older versions of perl found on Zimbra 7.2.1 and Centos 4 we need do the following to avoid getting a Perl symbol lookup error: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr.Code:/etc/init.d/network restart
This replaces the old perl5.8 with perl5.10 from the newer RHEL6 release, and we can now dump the dummy install files as well.Code:rm -rf /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi mv /opt/zimbra.dummy/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib rm -rf /opt/zimbra.dummy
We need to tidy up permissions so now run;
From here we are on the home stretch, now we have to rerun the install script this time without the -s option to configure our new install and upgrade 7.2.1 to 7.2.1 using the config from our old production server.Code:/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms -extended
just follow the prompts as per any other Zimbra upgrade and congradulations you have a new production mail server running 7.2.1 ready to rock n roll on Centos6.3. From here we make sure we can send and receive mail and check the back up paths etc. Then you follow the standard Zimbra steps to upgrade from 7.2.1 to 8.0.0Code:./install -platform-override
I hope this is of some use or at least gives someone some ideas.

You may have recently put together a list of New Year's resolutions. Or you might just be thinking that a new year brings an opportunity for a fresh outlook.
I would like to suggest that in 2013, you join me in this goal: I resolve to learn.
We can learn by checking out a book at the library, doing research online, having a discussion with friends, or watching an educational program on television, for a start. And of course, we can take a course at our local community college.
As a lifelong learner, I know the joy and happiness that learning brings. Learning is a way to engage or re-engage our creative capabilities. It can allow us to explore ways to link our personal lives to the goals we aspire to reach in our jobs and in our community.
Learning new skills can help us get a new job. According to the state of Colorado, 75 percent of jobs in Colorado will require some form of higher education by 2018. That's just five years from now.
Here at Colorado Mountain College, our mission is to create better futures. Learning is the most powerful way I know of doing exactly that. And we offer many reasonably priced classes, workshops, certificates and degrees.
When I talk with people who sign up for our classes, they often say they're interested in making sense of what's happening in the world. They might sign up for a Colorado history course, which links the history of our state with current issues, such as energy policy. Or they might take a class about the ethics of immigration, or environmental science, to increase their understanding in these areas that affect our daily lives.
My personal favorite that we're offering this spring is Survey of British Literature. This includes some of my all-time favorite authors: George Eliot, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Even though they wrote many decades ago, their stories are still relevant. You can see this in how many contemporary movies are made based on their books.
Many other people come to us for our integrated energy program. In that program, we really take a balanced approach, offering training in both renewable energy and traditional petroleum-based careers.
In our spring class schedule, you can see all the numerous ways anyone can learn through us. And these opportunities are not always in classes and workshops. Sometimes you can learn through community events, like Leon Littlebird in concert Jan. 18, or the bluegrass of Honey Don't on Feb. 22. Or PBS Community Cinema's showing of "Wonder Women!" in March.
You also meet really interesting people here. When I'm lucky enough to be in a classroom teaching, I meet wonderful people who are doing fabulous things. The great thing about a community college is that everyone in the classroom, all ages and backgrounds included, is learning, together.
So go ahead: Resolve to learn in 2013.
Dr. Barbara Johnson is an instructional chair for Colorado Mountain College in Rifle.

Ruth Wilson was the one person I was looking out for at the 2014 Met Gala after it was announced she was attending with designer Erdem Moralioglu.
The pictures of the British actress finally hit Getty this morning and I'm sure you will agree it was worth the wait.
Her richly textured black gown was perfectly in tune with her style: darkly decadent with a touch of drama.
As you can see, the look is a bespoke version of Look 30 from the Fall 2014 collection, retaining the draped tulle overlay, ruby crystallized accents and draped detail from the hip.
The addition of the opera gloves, slicked-back hair and ruby lip enhanced the drama tenfold.

We are delighted to know Zimbra -- one of the excellent softwares. As one user in HongKong, China, our company is going to change our email server to Zimmbra.
However, we found some translation problems during this testing process. After installing Zimbra, the users can send emails within Zimbra and all the languges can be displayed (P.S: We are using traditional chinese).
But when we send emails to Zimbra by using other companies' email addresses , eg: Gmail or other emails (in traditional chinese(example:中國
), the emails will change into corrupted characters(中���f�q).
As we are using the FC7 version, please kindly advise how to solve this problem. thanks for your help!

With commencement just weeks away, some Corban students are wondering what their next steps will be.
For Kate Tracy, an English major and editor of Corban's award-winning student newspaper, The Hilltop, the next 15 months will be filled with two unique opportunities. In April, Tracy learned she was selected to receive a Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism summer internship. Soon after, she was told she earned a one-year, $30,000 residency with Chicago-based "Christianity Today."
"I am a very excitable person," she said. "I freak out over hearing my favorite song on the radio, or getting a free coffee. I was just so unbelievably pumped to get the Snowden, and have my foot in the door as far as journalism goes.
"When I heard I got the 'Christianity Today' residency my reaction was there is no way I just got that, you have got to be kidding me," Tracy added. "I feel very blessed. It's just blessing upon blessing upon blessing."
In June she will begin the Snowden internship working with the "Herald and News," the daily newspaper in Klamath Falls, Ore. In September, she will move to Chicago to begin her residency with "Christianity Today." That publication is read around the world in its print publications and online.
Adjunct Professor of Journalism Christena Brooks said Tracy worked hard to meet the requirements for the residency.
"Last May we met editors for "Christianity Today" and were informed about the residency, which is offered to Pacific Northwest college graduates," Brooks said. "Kate did everything right. She published scores of articles during her time at Corban, pulled good grades, pursued the job, etc. She's really a gem, and will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ."
Although she already has some experience as a writer and editor, she knows there will be a steep learning curve for her at both publications. However, she said she is excited about the opportunity to work within two different journalistic mediums.
"With the Snowden internship, I'm excited about writing for a non-Christian affiliated newspaper and the challenges of working at a small-town newspaper," Tracy said. "It will be a change for me to write multiple stories every day, but I'm excited to learn how to manage myself that way and become a better writer.
"With 'Christianity Today' I'm excited to learn from the top Christian writers in the journalism world," she said. "My hope is to be mentored by these great writers and really improve from a Christian worldview standpoint."
She hopes to eventually travel internationally as a journalist and possibly write a novel. Regardless of what happens or where she ends up, she said God has always offered her faithful guidance.
"He has very clearly opened doors for writing ever since I was in high school," Tracy said. "I'm very thankful that He has made it clear what the heck I should do with my life. His provision with these opportunities has been totally above and beyond what I expected."

DT Swiss QR to Thru Bolt Conversion Kit $0.00
If you've got conventional quick releases on your DT Swiss 240s equipped bike and want more security and stiffness, these are the kits you need to upgrade to RWS Thru-Bolts. The advantage of the DT Swiss RWS Thru-Bolt is that it can be tightened more than your average skewer and won't flex or stretch when it is under a heavy load, like braking on rough downhills, or during hard cornering.
The DT Swiss QR to Thru-Bolt Conversion Kit is available for front and rear 240s hubs. Both front and rear kits contain the appropriate end caps to make the switch to use the 9mm or 10mm RWS Thru-Bolts respectively. Please note: these kits do NOT include the RWS Thru-Bolts. You'll need to purchase those separately.
Note also: The front hub conversion is specific to the 6-bolt 240s hub and the rear hub conversion also works with XRC 1350, XR / X, XM / M and EXC / EX / E wheels.

is this kit to convert the front hub to a 20mm thru ?
will it work to convert a 15mm front to a 20mm front?
Pretty sure that this is just to convert a 9mm to a 10mm thru-axle. If you wanted to swap out your 15mm to a 20mm, it's a different part but is the same style. I've done it with my DT440 hub, and all you have to do is buy the new cones. Takes like 2 seconds to swap em out too. This is what you need: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/dt-swiss-conversion-kit-qr-to-20mm-front/rp-prod23967
Easy swap and works on 350 hubs as well.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This was about as easy as it gets to change out. I went to a 135 x 10 on the back and this change took 5 mins to do. Just pop off the caps that are on there there now put in the new ones. (have to take off the cassette)
Also I have 350 hubs and they work on them just fine

Washington, DC (WUSA9) -- A Takoma Park butcher shop known for lamb head, goat parts, and repeat health department closures tops this week's Restaurant Alert with 2 other emergency closures.
Click here to see photos from this week's Restaurant Alert and hundreds of other DC area closures.
Inspectors temporarily closed: Star Halal, 1355-B Holton Lane, Takoma Park; Quickfire Japanese Hibachi, 566 N. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg and Pho City, 12123 Darnestown Road, Gaithersburg, MD.
All the establishments passed re-inspections and are back in business.
To know about health department closure orders first, follow @russptacek on Twitter or like Russ Ptacek on Facebook.
Butcher shop cited and closed twice in three months
At Star Halal on Holton Lane, the butcher shop cuts meat to order and had just reopened after the health department ordered it to close.
One of the problems health inspectors cited was no paper towels. When WUSA9's investigative reporter, Russ Ptacek, was at the shop, he also discovered no paper towels at kitchen sinks.
Inspectors also cited food from an unapproved source.
The worker at Star Halal explained to WUSA9 that the shop has goat heads sometimes but it only had lamb heads.
He showed Ptacek animal carcasses in the walk-in cooler with USDA stamps.
WUSA9 looked around the shop and didn't see any roaches.
Inspectors also noted a soiled display freezer and walk-in cooler.
In June, WUSA9 reported on an earlier closure for 18 health code violations.
Roach infestation closes restaurant
An inspector reported she was "going to wash her hands" when she saw "roaches crawling on the wall."
WUSA9's Russ Ptacek asked to speak to the manager but the worker did not want to call him when we were there.
Pho City employees wouldn't let us take a look inside their kitchen.
Japanese Hibachi shuttered for sewage back up
Also in Gaithersburg, inspectors closed Quickfire on North Frederick Avenue.
In the closure order, inspectors cited a hand washing violation, duct tape holding a thermostat to a cooker, and a sewage back-up.
Officials also reported Quickfire employees were prepping 14 pans of beef and chicken during the sewage backup.
Workers at Quickfire told WUSA9's Ptacek they didn't want him inside with a camera, and they were calling the boss. The employees then locked the door shut.

Just because I had similar issues doesn't mean it's the problem this time.

Digression - Basic Tectonic Plate Geology
The movement of Earth's tectonic plates has an enormous effect on its terrain. Most important to this are the boundaries of the plates, and there are two factors that come into play: the type of crust at the boundaries and the type of boundary.
There are two types of crust: oceanic and continental. Oceanic crust is exactly that: crust that forms ocean floors. Continental crust is that which creates landmasses, although not all continental crust is above water.
There are 3 types of plate boundaries:
Transform boundaries, where two plates slide past each other (rub the palms of your hands together for a visual aid). California's San Adreas Fault is an example of a transform boundary. Transform boundaries produce many earthquakes.
Divergent boundaries, where two plates are moving away from each other, creating oceanic ridges and continental rifts. The Atlantic Ocean was produced by divergent plate boundaries between the North American + South American plates and the Eurasian + African plates. They were once joined together in the Pangea supercontinent, but the plates movement spread them apart and the divergent boundary created an ocean. Africa's Great Rift Valley is also being caused by a divergent boundary.
Convergent boundaries, where two plates are colliding. This creates mountains and/or oceanic trenches or island chains, depending on the types of crust that are colliding. Convergent boundaries create a process known as "subduction", where the crust of one plate slides underneath the crust of the other. This creates volcanic activity along the line of subduction. This will be important later.
Transform boundaries have a lesser impact on terrain than divergent or convergent boundaries, although it is important to remember that they do cause earthquakes!
Divergent boundaries occur between two continental crusts or two oceanic When two oceanic crusts meet at a divergent boundary, it creates an oceanic ridge, not to mention new crust. These are basically crust formation points, and you should have one or two on your map. Example: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
When two continental crusts diverge, you get a rift valley, and over time, they separate into two landmasses. Example: Africa's Great Rift Valley.
Convergent boundaries between two oceanic crusts eventually create chains of islands (usually in an arc). The subduction causes volcanic activity that eventually builds up into islands. Examples: Aleutian islands, Phillipines.
Convergent boundaries between oceanic crust and continental crust creates volcanic mountain ranges on the edge of the continental crust, because of subduction. Examples: Andes Mountains in South America, Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains in the USA.
Convergent boundaries between continental crusts creates dramatic mountain ranges as the landmasses smash into each other and buckle the landscape. One crust can subduct beneath the other. The classic example is The Himalayas. This was caused when the Indian Plate crashed into the Eurasian Plate at a high rate of speed (still very slow, however). The Indian Plate is slowly subducting beneath the Eurasian and is creating the tallest mountains in the world, as well as the Tibetan Plateau (the highest in the world).
For a visual of most of the scenarios:
Also, see the image of the Earth's plates.
So now that we know how the different boundaries and crusts effect the landscape, we can take the next step in producing our map.

|Linda Langelo is NCHD Public Health's Shining Star
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Linda Langelo, horticulture coordinator for the Golden Plains Area Extension, was recently selected as Phillips County Public Health's Shining Star.
According to Jodi Murray, who nominated her for the award, Langelo was instrumental in starting the Holyoke Community Garden and working with the WIC program. This past year, approximately 20 families signed up to work at the garden.
"Linda was diligently there working alongside them, making sure that even the young children had a part of growing the vegetables."
She added Langelo was always aware most of the volunteers were first time gardeners, and she made them part of the process in planning, tilling, planting, watering, weeding and harvesting.
Murray also commended Langelo's teaching methods, saying she offers wonderful tips and her classes are fun.
"Linda gets involved with the community and has great ideas and goals for getting families excited about growing produce and sharing the rewards of combined hard work," she said.
The Northeast Colorado Health Department honored six people as public health shining stars during the April 29 Board of Health meeting. This was the second annual awards ceremony.
"This award is an opportunity for our employees to look around their counties and recognize the public health efforts of others," said John Crosthwait, NCHD's district public health administrator.
"We work with so many individuals and agencies that really foster our mission of building healthy communities that we wanted to establish a tradition to publicly acknowledge those who have a positive impact on the health of the public."
According to Crosthwait, the honorees are nominated by health department staff.
Other recipients include Kerri Hansen of Yuma, Darla Brennemann of Fort Morgan, Dr. Paula Frantz of Sterling, Pam Blochowitz of Julesburg and George Severin of Washington County.

I'm looking for some good early season socks to prevent blisters. I need something that will also keep my feet relatively cool. Any suggestions?
I'm looking for some good early season socks to prevent blisters. I need something that will also keep my feet relatively cool. Any suggestions?
any kind of marino wool.
Ill give up all my hunting in Michigan for 2 weeks in the high country
I love love love Smart Wool hiking socks and Lorpen hiking socks. I have never gotten a blister with either of these and they both have the like wicking material stuff and keep your feel super cool. I'm not big on like bulky socks and these seem just about perfect. They have good padding but they arent real thick or hot but they do keep your feet warm but not too warm.. If that makes sense.
I've got a pair of Gore-tex Danner boots that I love and are quite comfortable. But at the end of the day I would always have blisters on my heels. Yes, I do understand that "blisters" and "comfortable" are not readily used together, however, I do still like my boots. I just buy some moleskin and put it on my heels and I don't have any more blisters. I'm sure there are folks that have better ideas, but this works for me.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. ~Colossians 2:8~
smartwool socks are great. Socks can definitely help prevent blisters, but it is the friction that causes them. Changing how you lace your boots can help prevent heel slip and toe bang. Ask a wildland firefighter about how to lace your boots if you continue to have problems.
I like the WigWam comfort sportsman socks. Not to hot not to cold and comfy.
I used to fight fires!! lol
Proper boot fit does more for eliminating blisters than any sock will. It needs to be snug on the center of the foot, tight at the angle of the foot(where the foot and heel make a 45* angle. Snug to however you need for comfort up the shin. Too loose on the center of the foot will cause heel slip, and toe blisters. Too loose on the ankle will cause heel slip and twisted ankles from a boot that twists on the foot. Too tight up the shin will cut off circulation and too loose will not support the ankle and heel connection.
Any sock you wear needs to start off snug to the foot. Fluffy loose socks cause unpleasant discomfort all day and if the boot is tight on a loose sock...you wont have a good day.
I hunt because......
I agree with wolftalonID but a good wool sock is hard to beat, Smartwool Phd for early season and smartwool trekers or hikers for mid to late season. but I wear them year around, me feet don't stink or sweat

CoolStar roofing products are more energy-efficient than standard roofing products and exceed ENERGY STAR® and California Title 24 standards.
To meet ENERGY STAR standards, a low slope roofing surface must have a solar reflectivity of .65 (meaning it reflects 65% of the radiation away from the surface and absorbs 35%).
In general, an ENERGY STAR-labeled product can help reduce energy costs by as much as 30%.
The state of California has an even tougher requirement for a "cool" or energy-saving roof called Title24. To comply, a low slope roofing surface must have an initial solar reflectivity of .70 and thermal emittance of .75. CoolStar roofing products surpass both of these important, industry-recognized standards.

Those looking to the skies over Rifle and its neighbors on the third or Fourth of July to see fireworks celebrating Independence Day will be out of luck. And they can blame the weather this summer.
Residents would have to go some distance outside the city to even purchase fireworks, although it is illegal to ignite them under state fire restrictions.
Planned fireworks displays in Rifle on July 3 and in the Apple Tree community on July 4 were both canceled this week due to the hot, windy and tinder dry fire conditions Colorado has experienced this year.
Parachute and Battlement Mesa residents have not had a Fourth of July fireworks display for six to eight years, said Grand Valley Fire Protection District Chief Dave Blair. Instead, a fireworks display takes place during Octoberfest activities, he said, in the fall.
The town of Silt does not offer a fireworks display.
Rifle Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Kevin Whelan said while Rifle's fireworks ignition area might be nothing but dirt, "to set the best example and just overall safety reasons," the July 3 show was canceled.
"The state has banned all fireworks, too," he added. "So it really wouldn't be the right thing to do."
Whelan said the current "popcorn dry" conditions are historic.
"We've all been watching the soil moisture levels [used to help gauge how easy fires can start and spread], and we're right on track with 2002," Whelan said of the last major drought and wildfire year in Colorado.
While the fireworks shows have been canceled, the sale of fireworks is still legal, unless Rifle City Council or the Garfield County Commissioners ban them, Whelan said.
One of two permitted fireworks stands in Rifle has decided to not open this year, while the second had their fireworks order put on temporary hold.
Pat Elliott said he decided for only the second time in the last 25 or 30 years to not open his stand by the Rifle Fireside Lanes bowling alley.
"The fire department said they thought it would be a good idea to not sell anything," he added. "We chose to go along with that."
Elliott said the fireworks stand is a "break even" operation for him anyway.
"We've always done it just because it's the Fourth of July and Independence Day," Elliott said.
If the statewide fireworks ban remains in affect, Elliott said he would not set off any fireworks personally.
"I think fireworks get a bad rap, really," he added. "The Forest Service sets way more fires that get out of control than are started by fireworks."
The problem comes when someone tosses a firework, or even a lit cigarette, out a window onto dry grasses and starts a fire, he added.
"This year is just a bad situation all around," Elliott said.
Kathy York obtained a fireworks permit on behalf of the Grace Life Church youth group. But that group has put a hold on its fireworks order to give the booth a little extra thought.
"We've done this for the last three years," York said. "We've sold them when their were restrictions and we always honor those. We tell everyone to be responsible. We count on that, instead of someone being irresponsible."
Dangerous fire conditions also led the City of Rifle to ban nearly all fires at Rifle Mountain Park, as of Friday, June 22.
Restrictions prohibit:
• Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire, charcoal grill, coal, wood burning stove or sheepherders stove, including in developed camping and picnic grounds in Rifle Mountain Park. Devices using pressurized liquid or gas are exempted.
• Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, trailer, building or tent.
• Using an explosive requiring a fuse or blasting caps, fireworks, rockets, exploding targets and tracers or incendiary ammunition.
• Operating a chainsaw without an approved spark arrestor and without a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher (8 oz. capability by weight or larger and kept with the operator) and without one "O" or larger round-point shovel with an overall length of at least 35 inches readily available for use.
• Welding, or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame (except with a current permit, contract or letter of authorization and the welding area must be barren or cleared of all flammable material for 10 feet on all sides of the equipment).

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Edinson Volquez turned in his best
performance of the season with seven shutout innings and the San Diego Padres
silenced the streaking Milwaukee Brewers with a 2-1 victory Wednesday at Petco
Milwaukee got a run off Padres closer Huston Street in the ninth following
back-to-back two-out doubles from Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt, but
the Brewers' nine-game run came to an abrupt end when Martin Maldonado ran
into his own chopper in front of the plate and was called out for batter's
Shelled in his last three outings, Volquez (1-3) was efficient and in control
in his fifth start of the year to help the Padres salvage the three-game set
and end a five-game skid.
Volquez, given the lead on Carlos Quentin's solo homer, surrendered just five
hits, did not walk a batter and induced 13 ground ball outs. Street recorded
his third save of the season.
Marco Estrada (2-1) was saddled with the loss despite a solid effort. He
tossed 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs -- one earned -- on five hits and
two walks.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the video game industry and retailers in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (formerly known as Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association). The full opinion can be found here. According to Justice Scalia, who wrote the opinion: "the act forbidding sale or rental of violent games to minors does not comport with the 1st Amendment." Alito concurred with the judgment, joined by the Chief Justice. Justices Thomas and Breyer dissent, in an opinion by Thomas – according to SCOTUSBlog.
The court had to decide if a state law restricting the sale of violent video games to minors violated the First Amendment right to free speech. The Ninth Circuit Court ruled in favor of the EMA, saying that the law violated the First Amendment.
The law was written by California State Senator (D-San Francisco) Leland Yee and signed into law by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005. The law was immediately challenged by the video game industry and retail advocacy groups in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. A judge put a permanent injunction on the law, ruling that it was unconstitutional because it violated rights protected by the First Amendment.

|Volunteers still needed for Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska's "Feed the Philippines" event in Imperial next weekend
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

278 more volunteers needed
to package meals in
Imperial next weekend
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
Those who want to make a difference in the lives of others have an opportunity to do so next weekend in Imperial. Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska plans to pack 160,000 meals for children and families in the Philippines at a mega packing "Feed the Philippines" event at Zion Lutheran Church in Imperial Friday, Feb. 21, Saturday, Feb. 22 and Sunday, Feb. 23.
Meals packed during the event will be shipped to the Philippines to starving children and families impacted by the typhoon that hit the Philippines on Nov. 8, 2013. A total of 540 volunteers are needed to make the event a success and as of Tuesday morning 278 volunteers are still needed for the event.
The event will include a total of 10 two-hour shifts where groups or individual volunteers can package meals. A total of 540 volunteers are needed, roughly 54 volunteers each shift. So far, the only shifts that are full are those offered on Friday evening.
Organizers said they will accommodate volunteers of all ages. Stools can be provided for those who have difficulty standing throughout the shift.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up online at mercymealsofsouthwestnebraska.org or by calling a board member. Those who have not packaged meals previously are encouraged to watch a short training video online. Those who have signed up to help at the event are also asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to their shift so they have time to wash their hands and learn their assignments on the packing line.
"Feed the Philippines," a collaborative project of Mercy Meals, Orphan Grain Train and Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, has a goal of packaging one million meals total. In addition to the Imperial event, "Feed the Philippines" events will be completed in Sioux City, Iowa, Lincoln, Hastings, Norfolk and Wauneta. The target completion date for packaging all one million meals is April 30, 2014.
The events were made possible by a grant from LCMS to purchase the raw food supplies needed for the packing event. Transportation and distribution of the packaged meals is provided by Orphan Grain Train at no charge.
To register or for more information
Volunteers can register for the event at the group's website at mercymealsofsouthwestnebraska.org or by calling Laurie Kerchal at 308-350-0975 or Rick Einspahr at 308-883-0759.

The aim of the game is to progress through the various decks of your besieged steampunk spaceship in order to repel the alien invaders and get out of dodge. It features permadeath and will have a recruitment system. Build your squad members into deadly, long-range marksmen, or up-close-and-personal death machines. But no one is invincible, and if someone dies you'll have to replace him/her with a raw recruit. If the entire squad dies it's game over.

We hooked up with this hot mami while shopping for a couple things for my vicious bulldog. Her nice latina ass caught our eye while she was bending over reaching for a bone. We let loose the latin lingo and bagged her in record time. Her culo looked even better when she was grinding on the cock nice and slow. The world would definitely be a better place if every chick was a master knob slobber like her.
