I'm getting pumped for my October hunt and fixing to begin shooting my rifle at some longer distances. Is there a standard that any of you use when it comes to using a muley's body as a holdover reference? I did a search and saw 15" from withers to brisket on a couple sites. That seems a touch small to me...? I don't even think our blacktails are that small. I know different areas in the west have different sized deer. I will be hunting in Nevada. My best guess would be somewhere in the 22-25" range but I know a lot of you would know better than me as you get to see and kill muleys more often.
Example: At 400 yards at 8,000 ft elevation my bullet will drop 15", so if a muley has a 25" deep body and its a fairly level shot, I will know to hold about 2/3 of a body above the kill zone.
Anyone ever measured one or use this method with an estimated average number?

Cross Country Course
Iowa State University is one of only a handful of institutions in the country to have its own fully dedicated cross country course located on its campus. The convenience of the course's location provides Iowa State University's distance runners a significant training advantage.
Iowa State University dedicated the Cross Country Course in October of 1995 as the first course in the nation designed exclusively for competitive cross country racing. The University showcased the course to a national audience by hosting the 1995 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Since that time the course also served as the site of the 2000 NCAA Championships, the 2008 Big 12 Championships and the 2013 NCAA Midwest Cross Country Regional. In addition, Iowa State University has been chosen to host the 2017 Big 12 Cross Country Championships and the 2017 NCAA Midwest Regional Cross Country Championships.
The athletics program recently invested nearly $1 million in course improvements including irrigating the entire course and creating a permanent finish line structure with two large grass berms that provide spectators incredible views of the finish area. The irrigation system allows the department's staff to maintain the running surface at a championship level throughout the season.
Ultimately, the course is an appropriate ground on which to test the nation's best runners. It is a home worthy of Iowa State cross country programs that have won multiple conference and national championships.

Victoria Azarenka finally made good. The talented Belarusian blasted Marion Bartoli 6-3, 6-1 in 71 minutes to capture her first WTA Tour title in Brisbane. Vika broke the Frenchie's serve six times and didn't lose a set all week.
That's pretty impressive stuff for the 19-year old and former top junior baller who's been touted as a future champion. Let's hope she can keep the momentum flowing for Melbourne - she could make some noise or at the very least make some other lady ballers miserable.
It's great to see Vika so side-splittingly happy to win her maiden title. Maybe if I ever come back as a pretty, leggy blonde loaded with tennis talent then I'll understand. Maybe.

After attempying it myself, I am more convinced, at least for me, it would be best to make this sketch over several nights.

Nice sketch, you will get better as time will go on.

This is quality sketching!
Keep up the good work.

As for the trap, it's not entirely accurate, there's way too much detail there for me to accurately place. It's an impression of what I saw, but I think it turned out great.
Clearly I just inverted the raw pencil sketch for a somewhat more natural look. Even though I love the processed sketches some of you do, I'm just going to stick to the raw sketches without editing them, similar to how some people don't want to use computer mounts or astrovideo, I don't want to mess with my finished drawings.
The finder at the bottom is just something I made in paint really quickly, I've got into the habit of fillings up any extra space I have with something like a chart or finderscope view. I think I'm rambling, so I'll shut up now, thanks again, and expect more sketches in the future!
Posted 24 February 2009 - 03:34 AM
You'll find that the camera does weird things to your sketches, I am already wishing I had a scanner...
I also think you'll find that the more you sketch, the more detail you'll start to see. Welcome aboard, I look forward to seeing more of your work!
Posted 24 February 2009 - 03:36 AM
Very nice first attempt. I like the way that you accentuated the 'Fish Mouth' and it keeping at the center of the work. It draws me into it! It conveys the 'You are here' feel !!!
What can I say that I have not before about this most elusive DSO? I could spend a life-time sketching it different every time I try.
My Most Exerted Effort on M42
I was wondering what medium you used, then saw your answered post revealing graphite reversed. You might consider trying white and grey shades of pastel chalks on black Strathmore Artagain paper. I do not want to steer you too fast into another medium but the experience of sketching directly with the actual color of the nebulous light onto the black paper as the actual sky at night can be a real adventure in art work.
Good luck and I look forward to your future sketching adventures,

Most of my other sketches are sloppy and not worth mention, but I have a few older ones I like and might post. I made a Lulin sketch tonight, I'll try to post it here soon.
Edit: Mark, thanks for the kind words and suggestions. I have the black paper you're talking about and have used it successfully with open clusters, I never tried it with a diffuse object though, that's something to try. I used white conte, are you saying I should try something like a green pastel? Sounds like an incredible idea!
Posted 24 February 2009 - 02:56 PM
Yes; the standard dry semi-hard pastels are a wonderful discovery of an old world medium that is considered by some to be just as permanent and even further by other serious professional artists as more respectable than oil painting.
Oil painting can crack, discolor and degrade over time, where pastels have only one base binding medium chemical. As long as mounted and/or stored properly they retain their original color indefinitely.
M42 does apear somewhat green but it is very subtle. If you use color such as green and red (which can actually be seen in live observation from a dark sky in medium to large reflector telescopes) you will want to use those colors sparingly. Blending with various whites and greys to soften the light gradiation in a nebula rendering is the trick with pastels. The red and green pastels you would want to try are a pale lime green and a deep maroon or dark brick-orange. They can be blended with whatever method you prefer; blending stump, cotton swab, paper napkin, or some use their fingers but I recommend against that as the skin oil can blemish the paper and inhibit further blending. The human eye can barely detect these subtle colors as the cone cells in our retinas are hardly active at all in the dark. M42 in a large reflector emits enough light for some eyes to turn on the cone cells in our retina a bit and to see color at the brighter parts of M42. There is a brick orange appearance in the outer wisps or wings, where the central nebula region appears mostly green~white.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing your future efforts,
Posted 24 February 2009 - 03:42 PM
Maybe it's because my eyes never fully adapt due to the skyglow here, or maybe it's my relatively young eyes, but I always see M42 in color.
I'm certainly going to pick up some pastels, but I don't know anything about them, should the pale lime green, white, and grey colors be enough to do DSOs? I really have no idea what I'm getting into here, I've always just stuck to pencils and charcoal. I guess I'll just have to get some and try it out, that black paper is just sitting there right now...
Posted 24 February 2009 - 07:47 PM
BTW M42 has appeared greenish or tealish to me in my observations, even without a filter.

If you are in or near a large town, most have several art supply stores. The employees or some are usually artists and a few will always be experts on pastels and sketching. I would recommend that you seek out those stores that have the employees that are knowledgeable about pastels. Do not be too concerned about rendering color for now. I would recommend that you grab a few pastel pencils too, also in white shades. Sharpen them carefully with a single edge razor or sandpaper pad of multiple pages (also available at art stores.) Any medium priced pastel chalks in stick or cylindrical round form are fine. Some singles start at $2 or $3 per each or higher quality brands from Holland, France and Germany may run as high as $5 or $6 per each. Other complete sets of say a dozen or two with many various basic colors can go for as little as $10 ~ $15.
Experiment and have fun. Your experience will develop and you will improve naturally. I commend you on your enthusiasm as many are afraid to try to sketch with pastels as if some big commitment. I usually tell them, wait till you try oil paints, mixing mediums etc; stretching a large canvas; the clean-up alone to care for expensive brushes (can run $5 ~ $50 per each!) after each work session is an undertaking and a discipline that will teach something to anyone. Seek out art studios in your region and watch a pro paint or sketch in pastels.
Good luck and keep us posted,
Posted 25 February 2009 - 01:14 AM
I'm enthusiast about it because I've seen some of your work, and it's amazing! For me, astronomy is all about learning new things, so i'll try a completely different technique, even though I don't know how it'll turn out. I'll probably be able to get to an art supply store sometime this week.
Posted 25 February 2009 - 12:54 PM
Sorry I forgot to address Conte Crayons. I have not used Conte Crayons; I was hoping that perhaps others here might respond to that. I know that Erika and Frank have done many sketches of the sun and moon in that medium. Conte Crayons, I believe are more like a wax Crayon. Where pastels are a dry chalk that blends and smears easily. Again, I would recommend that you visit an art store soon where you can see all of these materials.
I look forward to seeing your future sketch work,
Posted 26 February 2009 - 09:29 PM
This drawing looks much better in real life, my camera is screwing with the lighting again. Imagine it with the center areas much darker, that light at the bottom shouldn't be there and the dark lanes are actually dark. It also has conte pencils in there as well. Moving back from the monitor helps some...
I'm very impressed with the pastels, very workable and easy to layer with.
Edit: Does this paper, or pastels in general not take too kindly to fixative? I applied some and it seemed to have given the whole thing a blend, It's like my paper acquired some light pollution! Is there a specific type I need? or perhaps I put too much? Hmmm...

This artwork deserves a special post! Wow!!! You are officially accepted in my art league! I am not sure what the moderators will say but personally I think this is a masterpiece! I would describe in a word that I cannot use in this forum. The "E" word.
I think you are on your way to art stardom if you'll excuse the pun.
As for fixatives, I never use them. Just store the works carefully in a large heavy portfolio art folder and do not smudge if possible. They say that fixatives dull the original luster and color but there are fixing methods that the professionals use successfully. I have never sought them out as yet.
I hope to see others responses to this new work of yours. Did you mention the paper format size and time spent on it? What pastel brands did you use? What tool did you use to blend? It looks like you have dived into this whole hog. I commend you!
Thanks again for posting this amazing work,
Posted 27 February 2009 - 12:46 PM
I did this on a very small paper, 9"x12" using Loew-Cornell pastels, a conté pencil, and cotton for blending.
I don't think it took over an hour to do this, considering it's such a small size. I just kept adding layers to it until it started to look like something.
Thank you so much for your comments, I hope the clouds will eventually clear up so I can try this out on a real object.
Posted 27 February 2009 - 08:26 PM
Excellent Milky Way sketch .... Oops.. did I use Mark's "E word". So if you can do it from a photo soon you must go outside, say summertime, and do it live overhead.
I do use fixative on my sketches but very,very little. I find Winsor & Newton Fixative for Pastel, Charcoal and Pencil works well. Use very little, the sketch will smear after use if not handled carefully. I use less than the directions call for. One can should be enough for at least 250 9'x 12" sketches. Do follow the directions for clearing the nozzle.
Posted 28 February 2009 - 12:00 AM
I wish I could just go outside and make a sketch like this, all I see of the Milky Way is a slight brightening from Cygnus to Cass. There's nothing in Sagittarius but stars and orange. I have to drives a few hours to see any details in it

WARRENTON, Va. (WUSA) -- A woman pled guilty on Thursday to having sexual encounters with a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy in Faquier County, Va.
Stephanie Streight, 41, of Warrenton, says she had sex with the boys in the past year.
Streight "had provided the 15 year old with marijuana on several occasions and had engaged in improper relations with the boy on two occasions that could be proven. In August of 2012, while the woman was on bond and awaiting trial on the charges relating to the 15 year old boy, it came to the attention of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office and the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office that the defendant may be involved in an inappropriate relationship with another boy," according to court documents and testimony.
Streight admitted to having a similar relationship with the 13-year-old in the second set of charges.
"Further investigation revealed that Ms. Streight pursued a similar pattern of sexual misconduct with this second boy which also included providing the boy with marijuana," according to court records.
Streight is due for sentencing in late April.
"She faces up to 24 months in jail on charges involving the 15 year old boy and up to 15 years in prison with respect to the 13 year old boy," officials said.

Note: those are roads done by freeform pen > and brushed along the path
Working on a map for a book I'm currently writing. There are still lots to complete ---the major rivers, rest of the names, the desert, and towns. But, I wanted to get everyones opinion or advice, does the mountain range technique i used mesh with the forest or should I have patterned it also.
Any suggestions on adding a desert and how should i represent a swamp?
I planned on usiong a little self-deined pattern for hills etc.
The coast on the right is fine but the coloring bothers me so I know it is poor condition, i want to improve the coastline but I don't know how to do that yet with the layer as such.
Note: those are roads done by freeform pen > and brushed along the path
I think the mountains would look better if they were patterned to match the forest and roads. Just IMO, and that doesn't mean I think the map looks bad as is

Here is a map I put together a while back for the climactic end battle of a Dungeons and Dragons game. I was aiming for a subterranean throne chamber with a sacrificial altar in it, upon which a poor hapless person was about to get a bad end before the adventurers show up.
This map was made using Paint.net, along with the freeware demo of Genetica to render some seamless textures.
This was the first map I made with hand-drawn elements in it, and any tips are more than welcome. I particularly am interested in improving the walls to make the room appear to sink more into the image, and I am not to happy with the throne (I feel it's lines are too rough compared to the other elements in the map). If anyone has any pointers to drawing cavern walls from a top-down perspective, or drawing thrones/chairs I would love to hear about it!
Attribution: This map contains artwork provided by both Torstan (from his wonderful 100px MapTools elements) and Greytale (from his Greytale's Nook website). My deepest appreciation to them both for generously providing such wonderful art pieces for us hobbyists and enthusiasts.

Is there really any truth in the saying, "Practice makes perfect"? Well, before you answer that you have to be able to define "perfect". There are so many different definitions, that, any debates you have (with your brother about how he's wrong and you're right) seem to go on and on and on. I don't agree with the saying. Don't misinterpret me- I think practice really helps. I just don't think perfection can be achieved through practice. Take for example the SAT that most high school students take in preparation for college. There is a reason why they have the PSAT; it's so you have a chance to practice taking a shorter version of the test (hence the name Pre/Practice-SAT).
Before I took the PSAT, I took a prep class that our school offered. The class was held on three Tuesdays and a forth meeting to discuss the results of our test. I took the class from 7pm to 9pm. Originally, I was worried about how long the class was, and whether I would learn anything of real value. Also, I was wondering how would I find time to finish my regular nightly homework. But, I was pleasantly surprise with the class and what I learned. After the class was over many students complained about how they didn't learn anything, but I would have to disagree with them. I didn't take the class to get answers; I took the class to learn how to take the test, and that's what it was about. We quickly went over the actual information but most of the time was spent learning how to interpret the questions and learning the little tricks they put in the SAT.
Things I learned in preparation for taking PSAT/SAT:
1. The SAT is notorious for the length of time it takes and most students get tired. Right from the "get go" our instructor told us to watch out for our minds "wondering" during the test.
2. The Math portions won't be impossible to solve, they will just be worded differently.
Make sure to read the entire question, multiple times, because the real question isn't always at the beginning or the end of the question.
3. If you can eliminate at least TWO of the answers, then you should definitely mark your choice because you have a greater chance of getting it right. You don't get marked down if you don't fill anything in, but you don't get a point either. But, if you mark the wrong answer then they will dock you a fourth of a point.
4. Also make sure to get a good night's rest for multiple days in advance. There is no essay on the PSAT but you still need to be able to focus on the multiple parts of the test.
5. Our instructor told us to take our scores with a "grain of salt". It was our first time taking the test and no matter how hard we studied there were going to be a lot of things that we just weren't prepared for.
I was glad to take the prep class, and the PSAT because they both gave me the opportunity to practice before the SAT. And although I don't believe practice will enable me to get a perfect score, I believe with all my heart that "practice makes better!"
So, I will end this entry with a quote from my PSAT Prep-class instructor-
"When you get your scores don't read the number and go, 'UGH I hate myself'. Look at the other information given to you. And if you're really not satisfied with the score Guess what? You can take the test again and again and again as many times as you like!"

Great Light!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This light is awesome! A rear bike light is a necessity when riding at night, and I would be willing to put this light up against any others that I have seen fellow riders using. To put it simply, it is bright, flashy, and fairly low-key. Overall great buy!
Small, simple and bright
I have owned a few of these and end up loosing them or stepping on them before they actually wear out. They stay bright for a long time before needing to change batteries. Nothing to complain about.
Great Visibilty Not Watertight
Its very bright. I love the mounting system, especially because Its basically the only thing that I've found capable to mount to my seatmast. I rode it in the rain once and since then its decided to turn of kind of randomly which is not the safest (It was never submerged by any means, just road spray). I believe its water vapor inside that condenses in the cold at night and shorts it but i can't get the case apart enough to dry it out.
If you don't get out in the rain much this would work great, but it is by no means watertight.
Princeton Tec Swerve Bike Tail Light
Great light, I got this for commuting and it works great still have yet to be clipped by a car and hope to keep it that way, very bright and easily visible from a long distance away
Solid light
I like this light's simplicity and ease of mounting/use. There's no weird push button switch that may or may not turn it on, the switch makes it very clear whether your light is going to be on, and I like that. It won't get bumped and turn off, and it's definitely bright enough to keep you visible.

Not really sure MacDermid is an upgrade over Bourque in any way. I thought maybe it had something to do with the new "tough Sabres", but other than super agitator Ott and the big goon Scott they really aren't all that tough at all.

One Industries Gamma Helmet $0.00
When it comes to full face helmets, having a background in motorsports has its advantages. Few cycling-specific full face helmets can claim to be DOT certified, and if they are, they tend to be portly, to be polite. The One Industries Gamma Helmet builds on One Industries' extensive moto experience to offer one of the lightest safety-rated helmets available.
To pass DOT certification, the Gamma uses a pre-preg reinforced fiberglass shell. And, it easily passes safety standards set forth for cycling helmets. The shell is paired with a dual density EPS liner, which adds to its ability to slow varying impact forces. While safety first is the name of the game, helmet weight is an equally important factor. The lightweight shell won't blow up your neck muscles midway through a day of lift riding, and the EPS liner and shell's flow-through ventilation with large intake and exhaust ports keep your noggin cool. But no matter how much air flow you can push through a helmet you're still going to work up a sweat. So, to keep the Gamma stink-free, its moisture-wicking Nylex comfort liner is removable and easily cleaned.
The One Industries Gamma Helmet comes in BOT White, BOT Cyan, Crypto Red, Lightspeed Black and sizes X-Small through X-Large.

66. Jim Fleming's '32 Ford roadster - Syracuse Top 100Written by Chuck Vranas on July 25, 2008 2008 Street Rodder / Turtle Wax Top 100 Contender
If Jim Fleming's stoke gow-job from Washingtonville, New York, didn't get your pulse racing, there was no hope for you! Taking a Dearborn Deuce body to a whole new level, he gave his car a very traditional late-'40s lakes-style feel, with its pinched and bobbed chassis, cowl steering, split drilled 'bones, and low-gloss Washington Blue hue. With a 241ci Red Ram Hemi linked to a five-speed, you just know the Winters quick-change out back gets a healthy workout.

Summary of additional committee discussion, 9/9/11
CC:DA discussed this proposal further on the [rules] list September 8-9. The thread of messages has been added to this page (at the end). The chair summarized the state of discussion on 9/9 as: concerns about the lack of context and potential for conflict have been heightened to the point that there is not support for the proposal, and that the argument for making the change is not strong enough.
- Robare, 9/9
Summary of discussion, 8/30/2011
General support for the proposal. Regarding the statement that the context of "person" or "corporate body" will already be clear, based on RDA element selected and/or mark-up standard used: not necessarily clear to the user, depending on display interface/technology. Comments about redundancy in the instructions (identical text in 0.6.4 and 8.3) - Robare, 8/30
General comments
Is there a concern for the utility of this rule revision in non-encoded contexts – e.g. for card catalogs or even public displays of OPAC where coding is lacking or not visible for conveying whether such names are names at all and whether they are personal or corporate? MYERS, MARBI Liaison, 2011/08/16
This is a excellent example of the kind of redundancy that MUST be removed from RDA. All but the last two paragraphs of 8.3 are simply a verbatim restatement of guidelines that were already given in 0.6.4. Since these two chunks *always* must be identical (i.e., it's one instruction, written down twice), why is the repetition necessary? Would it not be better to instead have a reference in 8.3 to the appropropraite guidelines in 0.6.4? That way, it only needs to be changed in one place.
Now that I have that off my chest, I generally agree with the changes proposed in the document. I do have a problem with this statement in the background section: "The context of "person" or "corporate body" will already be clear because of the element selected for recording the name in RDA (preferred name for the person, preferred name for the corporate body), and/or the mark-up standard used in metadata (e.g., X00 Personal names or X10 Corporate names in MARC 21, or <name> element in MADS with type attributes of personal or corporate)." The context will "already be clear" to whom? The users aren't going to know that a name is the RDA element "preferred name for the corporate body", nor are they going to know what markup tags are being applied to the name. Those things may—OR MAY NOT—have an effect on the way the name is displayed to the user; it all depends on how the display interface is processing the markup. That being said, I don't know if I'm as concerned as John Myers is about this. So far I have a feeling that just the context of the rest of the display (other names, other RDA elements such as titles, statements of responsibility, annotations, etc.) in which the name appears will probably be enough for the user. K. Randall, 8/24/11
I agree with Kevin and would support this proposal. R.Rendall, 8/25/11
I apologize for being late to this discussion, but I share the reservations voiced by J. Myers and K. Randall about whether the corporateness will be clear to the user. A non-qualified corporate name string could also conflict with a subject heading, which would be problematic to users browsing subject files. The example that comes to my mind is "Animals". A user looking for books about dogs and cats is not looking for Sean Egan's 2001 book about the British rock group. As the rules stand now, the heading would be constructed "Animals (Musical group)", but what if the heading were simply "Animals"? Is the idea to rely on systems to display 650's and 610's differently? I think many don't. –Dragon 9/2/11
Email discussion, 9/8-9/9
The "Animals" subject example posted to the wiki by Patricia Dragon is an excellent one, and certainly gave me more pause than the author situations we considered earlier in the discussion. - R. Rendall, 9/8/11
The Animals example is a great one, Patricia.
This is a complicated proposal, because it's talking about both recording attributes and also about access points. I agree, for the most part, with changes 1-4 and changes 6-9 [I think I have that right - this *is* a complicated one!] that change the instructions for recording attributes.
However, in terms of access points, I'm not sure I agree with the proposed changes. I share John Myer's concern that in a public catalog the context might not be as obvious as the background notes to the proposal claim. I don't feel confident that the rest of the information in a bibliographic record will always give enough context to explain an ambiguous access point.
With this proposal, then, here is where I'm landing: yes to the changes proposed for recording attributes; no to the changes proposed for creating access points. And, although it's not addressed in this proposal, yes to getting rid of the redundancy that Kevin dislikes so much! -- P. Rolla, 9/8/11
Many thanks to Patricia for giving the Animals example. It made me rethink this proposal, and now I have to say that I do not support the proposal. The argument for making the changes is very thin: "The concept itself is subjective and may be interpreted differently by different catalogers or catalog users (based on knowledge of language, ethnic, national, or cultural naming practices)." That's it! If there were more explanation of the difficulties the current practice causes, that would be very helpful.
As used in our current environment, authorized access points serve the purpose of a controlled vocabulary. If we have conflicts between headings in controlled vocabularies that are very commonly used together (e.g., NACO names and LCSH topics) then we have a problem.
Peter supports the changes regarding the recording of attributes, but does not support the changes regarding the creation of access points. But I think that if something is potentially necessary as a part of an access point, shouldn't it be a "core if" element?
I don't think things are as broken as the proposal would have us believe. -- K. Randall, 9/8/11
I do not support this proposal, for the reasons that Kevin provides below. - K. Winzer, 9/9/11

This post refers to the Guide: "http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_Server_%28Hardy_Heron%29_Install_G uide"
As I have tested and seen in more than few forum this Guide drives you easily to fail in the instalation of Zimbra. I have folllow carefully every step and quickly I got doubts.
In the first part: "Installing Ubuntu 8.04 LTS" It could be ok, maybe we can consider to say that we must cancel dhcp configuration during installation quickly to make the point 1):
"1) The installation (and the guide) want to configure your LAN via DHCP. Cancel it before it gets that far, and manually configure it with a static IP address, netmask, and gateway. Don't put in a public DNS for your nameserver configuration; instead put in the same IP address that you just gave the machine for its own static IP (this won't let you resolve names on the internet until we do some more configuration below, but it saves headaches later)"
First important doubt: How is posible that I did exacly this and I can resolve name on internet???
root@mailhost:/# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.1.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.16.1.0
broadcast 172.16.1.255
gateway 172.16.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 172.16.1.8
dns-search mydomain.com
Is this what the guide says to do? I did it in the installation, even thought:
root@mailhost:/# ping yahoo.com
PING yahoo.com (184.108.40.206) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.mud.yahoo.com (184.108.40.206): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=164 ms
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.mud.yahoo.com (22.214.171.124): icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=162 ms
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.mud.yahoo.com (126.96.36.199): icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=166 ms
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.mud.yahoo.com (184.108.40.206): icmp_seq=4 ttl=53 time=163 ms
So what now? Did I mistake somewhere? Could I continue? ¿Yes/no?
After this I finish installation and continue reading...
In the second part: "DNS
On Ubuntu, check /etc/default/bind9 to see the root directory path for your bind installation. If not other path is specified, then it's most likely /etc/bind/
Proper DNS configuration is PARAMOUNT! If you don't have your DNS working properly, don't even bother trying to install Zimbra, because trying to fix DNS after the fact may result in an install that can do everything except send mail--even from a Zimbra user to himself! So I'll say it again:
If you can't resolve your mailserver's own private IP address (NOT the public IP) using nslookup, fix it BEFORE you install Zimbra! "
Excuse me! Please, Is this correct?:
root@mailhost:/# nslookup mailhost
Server: 172.16.1.8
Address: 172.16.1.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mailhost.mydomain.com
Address: 188.8.131.52
I supposed it correct but take a look in the next paragraph of the guide:
"If your installation above was successful, when you sign on at the command line you'll be able to ping public IP addresses if you know them, but you may not be able to resolve any names to ping them"
I'm able to resolve any name!
Oh no! I'm afraid, what I did wrong?
In this point, and before reinstalling again (fourth time) I apreciate any help or clue that you could give me. Am I in the wrong way? yes/no?
I will send any info if required!
Thanks in advance!

I work for a company that adheres to the CAN-SPAM act. On occasion, I need to send out email to a distribution list. According to the CAN-SPAM Act, I cannot do this by placing a contact group into the BCC field and sending the note. Instead, I need to create an individual email for each member of the group.
I was wondering if anyone had created a Zimlet that would let you select a Contact Group and email template, then send individual email out to each member of that Contact Group.

Botanical name: Mentha spicata L.
Common name: Spearmint
Synonyms: Mentha viridis L., mint, common garden mint, green mint, lady's mint, mackerel mint, hoja de hierbabuena (Spanish)
Botanical Description: A hybrid of Mentha sueveolens (Apple Mint) x Mentha longifolia (Horse Mint).
Native to the Balkan Peninsula and northern and western Turkey (it is often noted that the exact natural range is uncertain due to extensive early cultivation). Also found as an introduced or naturalized plant through most of Europe and the Mediterranean area as well as in North America. Cultivated throughout the temperate region. Spearmint is an herbaceous rhizomatous (forms lateral stems on top of the ground that "creep" to form subsequent plants) perennial plant 30-100 cm tall. It features bright green, sharply pointed, toothed, lance-shaped leaves and flowers in slender, terminal spikes, pink or white, from June-August. The plant should be harvested just before or right as flowers open, as the aromatic components diminish once flowering has ceased.
Commercial product is entirely cultivated from vegetative cuttings due to the high degree of inconsistency in plants grown from seed. Mentha species readily hybridize thus causing offspring that aren't true to the parent. The commercial product is always rich in carvone and related compounds. Essential oil content ranges from 0.8%-2.5% with the quantity and composition varying considerably according to its origin.
Constituents of Significance: 50% carvone. Menthol should be absent; its presence is indicative of adulteration with other Mentha species, M. x piperita in particular.
Quality: Look for adulteration with peppermint. As noted above, a consistent, cultivated origin is paramount to maintaining a consistent product.
Regulatory Status: GRAS
Did you know: The name 'spear' mint derives from the pointed leaf tips.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Clincher Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
Reynolds Thirty Two C Clincher Wheelset $0.00
Let's face it, in the wide world of wheels, speed and weight are inextricably linked. Perhaps 1300g disc wheels provide us with a false hope that aerodynamics will someday trump all, but in race with more vertical gain than kilometers, you need a wheelset around that weight, not a single wheel. Lucky for you, the Reynolds Thirty Two C Clincher Wheelset tips the scales a little over 1300 grams, features a top-shelf carbon fiber composition, and solves the age-old carbon clincher ailment of sketchy braking. It's time to attack the mountains.
Comparing the Thirty Two to any other Reynolds wheels is a bit like comparing apples-to-oranges. In fact, tipping the scales around a respectable 1330 grams, the Thirty Two sits in the top five of Reynolds' lightest wheels and is its lightest clincher by far. How was it done? With Reynolds' CR6 Hybrid Carbon, of course. This is the same carbon fiber found in the Aero line of wheels. It's used in both lines because it allows a high level of torsional and lateral rigidity without the detriment of stacking grams. And for the Aero line, its light weight and high tensile strength keeps the weight of a 26.2mm wide rim down. So, when used on the Thirty Two's maximum width of 20.8mm and a rim depth of 32mm, rotational weight becomes almost negligible.
So, it can be asserted that while the Thirty Two's aerodynamics play a vital role in its design, it hasn't undergone the same extensive DET tunnel-testing as the Aero series. However, like the RZR 46, the Thirty Two has received Reynolds' Swirl Lip Generator (SLG) technology. It's easy to miss, but the leading edge of the rim features a 0.9mm lip in order to widen it near the spoke face. Accordingly, this minimizes pressure drag by reducing side forces on the rim, leaving room for responsiveness and weight to be the paramount characteristics of the Thirty Two. And along these lines, you'll find that the wheels roll up to speed quickly, and demand less user-force to keep them there. Additionally, its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio guarantees a nimble reaction to your force when you jump to pin down a climbing break.
Now, while the Aero and Thirty Two differ in functionality, both wheels are constructed with the same proprietary carbon technology. The recipe consists of three technologies -- Hybrid Modulus Laminate (HLM), Variable Resin Chemistry (VRC), and Inert Gas Compaction (IGC). Basically, these three systems work harmoniously to construct the Thirty Two. HLM is a method used to assign specific carbons and layups at different points of the rim. So, through this method, Reynolds placed different carbons and layups at the tire channel, brake track, side wall, internal nipple bed, and spoke face. Then, with VRC, Reynolds' exclusive resins bond the different laminates into a single structure. And lastly, IGC is used to mold and cure the rim in what Reynolds deems as the most ideal of environments. As a result of this construction process, the Thirty Two is strengthened at strategic points, and benefits from a light overall weight. Additionally, the wheel's layup provides high levels of lateral and torsional rigidity under load.
With the Thirty Two, Reynolds also addressed an all-too-common ailment to carbon clinchers -- poor braking. The solution was found through the development of what Reynolds calls its Crynogenic Glass Transition Braking System (CTg). Essentially, this is a patented braking design that required both a redesign of the brake track laminate and pads. Accordingly, CTg uses a temperature-conductive laminate at the brake track's transition points that withstands higher levels of heat than typical carbon laminates. And when paired with Reynolds' polymer Cryo Blue brake pads, braking becomes more predictable and requires less finicky feathering on fast descents.
For the actual build, Reynolds used 20 radial-laced DT Swiss Aerolite spokes in the front and 24 spokes in a two-cross, drive-side pattern at the rear. These have been laced to DT Swiss straight-pull hubs, and the wheels attach with Reynolds' new camlock quick-release skewers. Please note that while the Thirty Two's internal nipples decrease your drag footprint, truing the wheels will require a Reynolds-specific internal spoke wrench.
The Reynolds Thirty Two C Clincher Wheelset is available in the color Black with White labels and in a clincher configuration. Please note that the rear wheel is offered with either a Shimano or Campagnolo 11-speed. Also, every wheelset includes two pairs of Reynolds Cryo Blue Brake Pads. Reynolds recommends only using its proprietary pads, and the use of any other brake pads will result in a void of your warranty.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois says severe weather events are becoming more frequent and Congress needs to consider how it plans to pay for disasters.
Durbin says the economic impact of severe weather is projected to grow in coming years. The Democrat says that means governments at all levels will be paying out more each year in damages.
He made his comments today from Lake Michigan's shoreline in Chicago.
He says this summer's drought may cost the federal government as much as $12 billion in agricultural aid. He also notes that Lake Michigan's water level is more than two feet below the long-term average, and low Mississippi River levels could affect barge traffic.
Durbin believes those issues underscore the need to invest in renewable energy and pollution controls.

South Sudanese refugees distrust cease-fire–refuse to return home
Newscast Media KHARTOUM—In South Sudan the government and the rebels are
accusing each other of having violated the cease-fire. Many displaced persons have
little faith in the agreement anyway and are refusing to return home.
The cease-fire in South Sudan is fragile. The government and the rebels have blamed
each other for the violations and insist that they now intend to honor the agreement,
while the main victims, the refugees, have little hope that there will be peace.

MORRISTOWN - Another year, more expectations.
During the past few years, Drew Greenwood has turned the Union Local girls' basketball program into a respected one that claimed the 2010-11 OVAC Class 3A Wheeling Hospital Tournament title. The Jets' repeat bid came up a but shy last winter.
This season won't be any different as 11 players return, starting with a trio of seniors in Kayla Doty (5-foot-10), Dallas Montag (5-7) and Carlee Stiles (5-7).
''This senior class has demonstrated the work ethic they've displayed the last couple of seasons ... all-out, nothing held back,'' Greenwood said. ''They've raised the level of play for everyone else.''
Doty's status for the early portion of the season still isn't clear, according to Greenwood. She sustained an ACL injury.
''Kayla is working really hard to get back in the lineup," Greenwood said. ''She's running and jumping rope. She really worked hard over the summer to become a solid player. We're still expecting some big things from her.
''This is the first time in a couple of years that we've had an injury that has set us back, but we'll be alright.''
Montag is a dead-eye shooter from beyond the arc, while Stiles is a role player that has steadily improved.
The junior class consists of a trio of talented performers in Cori Medley (5-8), Cecelia Rucker (5-9) and Abby Collins (5-10). Five sophomores who saw extensive time last year include Mikayla Twarog (5-6), Josie Marshall (5-6), Mikayla Patton (5-11), Kylie Russell (5-3) and Amanda Swallie (5-5). A three-member freshmen class rounds out the varsity roster in Alli Delaney (5-8), Hannah Nagy (5-7) and Saige Butler (5-8).
''We've got 14 girls on the varsity and any one of them can play at any given time,'' Greenwood said. ''Usually, it takes a while for us to get going, but at this point in the season, I feel pretty good about our team. I feel we are much deeper than we've been in the past.
''The team chemistry seems to be there already and everyone is working hard together. It makes for an enjoyable time right now.
''We just need to take care of the little things. Everyone has to take care of themselves at this point. We need to concentrate on following through with the fundamentals and getting to where we feel confident in what we are trying to do.''
Medley returns as the scoring leader, as well as the floor leader. She's also an excellent shooter from outside the arc and penetrates and dishes off.
''Cori is really coming into her own," Greenwood said. ''She works really hard.''
Collins and Rucker should provide valuable minutes and outputs from the middle.
''Both of those girls are in supportive roles,'' Greenwood said. ''Every player on our team has a different strength and a different role.''
Greenwood said Marshall and Twarog, along with Delaney, Butler and Nagy will all see viable playing time.

BOGART, Ga -- Petzone, a no-kill animal shelter has dedicated itself to saving puppies and dogs and finding them loving homes.
But they need two things to keep going, donations and light.
Relying totally on donations and sales from its thrift store, the Petzone Animal Shelter was about to go dark.
RESOURCE GUIDE | Animal Assistance Groups
Behind on the electric bill, Georgia Power was about to pull the plug. No light, no heat and more than two dozen dogs.
"Donations have been really low. Adoptions have been really slow and the winter has been hard. so money is really tight right now," said the Kate Carpenter, the Shelter Founder.
"We get no government money. We do this by the skin of our teeth. We have a Thrift Shop next door and the Pet Wellness Clinic," she said.
For Carpenter who founded the shelter five years ago, the goal is to save as many pups and dogs as she can.
Last year alone, Clarke County, where the Shelter is located, euthanized 56 dogs.
"We have to depend on the mercy of the public. We need public support to be able to take care of these guys," she added.
But Carpenter and Petzone had reached a dead-end.
They turned to the 11Alive Help Desk to keep the lights on. We did!
Georgia Power agreed to extend the deadlines through mid-April.
"We do the best we can with what we have and we definitely like people like you who come out and help us and come to our rescue," Carpenter said.
The Petzone Dog Rescue is located at 4530 Atlanta Highway in Bogart.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Derek Stepan's third-period goal proved to be
the difference as the New York Rangers held off the Washington Capitals, 4-3,
in Game 4 to even their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at two games
Carl Hagelin registered a goal and two assists, while Dan Girardi and Brad
Richards each scored once for the Rangers, who took both games at Madison
Square Garden after falling down 0-2 on the road.
Henrik Lundqvist backstopped the victory with 27 saves, including 14 in the
final frame to help the Rangers hang on down the stretch.
Mathieu Perreault posted a goal and an assist in the setback, with Troy
Brouwer and Karl Alzner adding a tally apiece for the Capitals, who received
30 saves from Braden Holtby.
Washington will look to respond from back-to-back setbacks Friday, when the
series shifts back to the nation's capital for Game 5.

While the appearance of acne is visible on the surface of the skin, the problem starts within the tissue outside of the range of the naked eye. Acne eruptions occur from infections within the pores, the tiny openings found in your skin. The problem begins when excess oil, dirt and environmental impurities clog the pores, serving as a breeding-ground for bacteria. To truly eliminate acne once and for all, deep cleansing to free the pores of clogging debris is vital. The Bliss Steep Clean collection was formulated to do just that without irritating or damaging the complexion.
The Bliss Steep Clean line has its roots in the effective anti-acne facials given at Bliss spas across the globe. The products in the Bliss Steep Clean range penetrate deep into the pores to free trapped dirt and oil and stop the growth of bacteria. The formulations in the Bliss Steep Clean collection also address troublesome breakouts, helping to quickly heal them without leaving behind unsightly scars that can permanently mar the complexion. Use the blemish-fighting system daily to quickly clear your skin.
Target the debris and impurities that clog the pores and whisk them away with the Bliss Steep Clean collection. The effective formulations found in the range reduce the appearance of whiteheads, lift away the dirt that causes blackheads and prevent future breakouts.
Bliss Steep Clean is the first step to clear, radiant skin. Simply apply the rich, nourishing cleanser to the skin and let it rest for 15 minutes. When you rinse away the healing formula, you will also wipe away the impurities contributing to your acne breakouts. Salicylic acid and natural botanicals like sunflower seed oil and lemon extract in the cleanser battle bacteria and release impurities from the skin, while shea butter keeps the tissue supple and moist for no irritation.
Bliss Steep Clean Toner Pads are the perfect follow-up to the Steep Clean Cleanser. These easy-to-use pre-moistened pads eliminate pockets of oil and limit the production of sebum. The pads also balance the pH of the facial skin and help minimize pores, reducing their size to make it more difficult for dirt and impurities to invade them. The toner pads reduce oily skin's shine, leaving it with a healthy glow instead.
The final step in the revolutionary Steep Clean system, the Bliss Steep Clean Mattifying Moisturizer provides the vital hydration that your skin needs to heal. Retinol contained in the formula provides additional pore-shrinking benefits. This gives the mattifying moisturizer the unique ability to both eliminate oil and hydrate tissue at the same time.

|START Conference Manager
(Submission #31)
As a specific form of collaborative computing, mobile phones are changing the way people use and perceive their social contexts both at work and at play. Observations of mobile phone use in urban settings suggest that this medium can facilitate existing social networking practices and extend our everyday activities to create a set of distinct social practices associated with this Information and Communication Technology. In particular mobile phones support users in the active production of identities, whether these identities are socially determined to be normal or deviant. Written from a Social Informatics perspective this paper examines the mobile phone as a collaborative communications technology in the context of its use in illegal drug-dealing and the law enforcement of those practices. The relationship between illegal drug-dealing and law enforcement responses is critically analysed highlighting the way both groups utilise mobile phone technologies to achieve their divergent goals. The paper concludes by offering a perspective on the social nature of mobile communications and suggestions for further research and action.

Snow and plenty of it!Not in Edinburgh obviously, but was up at Aviemore today on t'snowboard. Was greatly impressed by the snow conditions. Amoungst the best i have ever seen for Scottish snow. shame about the biting wind and bad visibility, but its the highlands, not the Alps, Scottish boarding is always going to be a little more old hardcore school. I wonder if we will actually get a proper snow season this year in Scotland!

Thanks to Swiss DtL reader Cathy for this tip-off on Evgeny Korolev!
The Russian qualifier was spotted looking all kinds of hot while getting his surf on for a photo call in Melbourne today. He shocked Carlos Moya in the Aussie Open first round 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (9) but will face a daunting task in the second round when he faces Roger Federer.
I'm thinking Evgeny should just drop the racquets now and pick up the surf board permanently. Am I wrong?
Anyway, word to the wise: enjoy this sexy site now because we won't be seeing him in this tourney after Regal Rog is through. Surf on Evgeny...surf on.

Oh my wow.ReplyDelete
Hm. You know what? I'ma pass on this one. Too clean looking for me. I like my men rugged. All for you Rich.
*accepts babz gift gladly*ReplyDelete
it's the whole surf thing - it could make anyone look hot. okay - maybe not kolya but mostly everyone
Hubba, hubba. Not quite Rafa or Ross, but right up there in the eye candy aisle.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 9:41 AM
In case you didn't know: the boy is a cousin of a certain Anna Kournikova (and gets playfully razzed by his fellow players - they call him "Anna").ReplyDelete
So, no wonder he looks OK - it's in the genes.
Wow...I'm a fan! Love the tan lines! So adorable.ReplyDelete
I have always thought he was cute and he is definitely looking good here, but he will have to settle for being the second hottest russian on the tour...Marat is still the hottest!ReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 20, 2009 at 10:04 AM
anon: Maybe that's why Rich called him a "her." LOL!ReplyDelete
***The Russian qualifier was spotted looking all kinds of hot while getting her surf on***
Only pointing this out bc I found it hilarious, not bc I'm a grammar brat! :) He IS rather beautiful, after all. I probably wouldn't kick him outta bed :D
Sure the surf thing is hot - always is.ReplyDelete
But the hair.. the fuzz.. the outfit.. the perfect half an inch of white undies contrast with his shorts. It's much too planned to suit me. I don't know. My gaydar is beeping. Although the cross necklace is an anomaly. What say you Rich?
talking about Kournikova relatives, did you know Kournikova's 4 year old stepbrother is also training tennis:http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/content/sports/2009/01/19/allan0120.htmlReplyDelete
well, Kournikova's continues...And Evgeny looks HOT!
good catch, johanne! must...edit...nowReplyDelete
marat is still the hottest russian boy baller out there but we'll need a replacement if this ends up being his last year. he's such a tease dropping the "R" bomb left and right.
gay? gay for pay?? straight up hetero??? no matter babz - i'll take him though now you've got me wondering who on the tour falls on my team...
*ponders babz question deeply*
Lemme know when you finish pondering Rich. I have a shiny penny just for it. But really, the more I look at him the more I'm convinced.ReplyDelete
I'm sure there are a lot of players on tour who plays on your team. I have some suspicions...
- johanneJanuary 20, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Babz: Go on........... :)ReplyDelete
it's either old news or wishful thinking, but there is a HOT player on tour who is almost certainly a homo.ReplyDelete
DO TELL ANDY!ReplyDelete
*waits patiently, listens intently*
WHOA @ Evgeny. That's some serious piece of eyecandy. I totally get the surf thing too, Rich!ReplyDelete
Also, is it just me or is that sunscreen line in his face totally sexy?? Makes him look like a fighter (or Braveheart LOL).
As for who's playing on the other team... I'm thrilled to know! DO TELL!
i'm talking somebody who has said that his interests include: walnut shell collecting; listening to barbra streisand; watching figure skating; and dancing to electronica music. except recently, he's inconspicuously lifted some of these items out of his atp bio...i've seen him make at least one claim that they're jokes, but i don't buy it!ReplyDelete
regarding a different player we all know:ReplyDelete
but i'm sure there's a very hetero explanation to this picture.
LMAO @ the Roddick picture. So random! Still, he seems too macho and too badly dressed for my taste... doesn't ring a gay bell with me...ReplyDelete
Evgeny could be, though!
andy: hmmm interesting your name is ALSO andy.ReplyDelete
*marvels at coincidence*
what could be the hetero explanation? "Dude, you've got lipstick on your cheek. Lemme lick it off before Brooklyn gets suspicious."
That could happen, no?
- AnonymousJanuary 21, 2009 at 10:01 PM
It's Dmitry Tursunov. Damnit Andy you're such a tease, which is what I think Lickey McTongue is saying to Roddick.ReplyDelete
"what could be the hetero explanation?"ReplyDelete
Stuff like that seriously happens (once happened to my ex-bf). I guess there's also a lot of beer involved, or maybe a bet... and I'm positive the sentence starts with: "Duuuude..." :D
BTW, Lickey McTongue - LMFAO!!!!!

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Arlington County police are investigating after a woman was assaulted and robbed in the 4100 block of N. 4th Street shortly after midnight on Monday.
According to police, at 12:10 a.m. a woman was walking home from work when a man approached her from behind. He reportedly grabbed her by her head with both hands and pushed her to the ground. The man then took her purse and ran away.
Police say the suspect is described as a black male in his late 20's, approximately 5'8" tall and 150 pounds. He had brown eyes and black hair, and was last seen wearing a red long-sleeve shirt, black pants and a black hat.

I'm testing Zimbra as our new email server platform & am currently importing my .pst to prove the system processes.
My .pst size is 113M and I've gone through the .pst repair wizard and ensured that it is not corrupt but am only able to get the process started for a few minutes before it says too many errors & dies. (but it does successfully import 100+ emails & inbox folders so I know that things are trying to work)
My questions are:
-How well is this process supposed to work or worked for others? (as-in, if we use Zimbra I'd have to convert/upload 150 users .pst's so the process would need to work well)
-I was on Vista & Office 2003, is there anything that says that XP would be
Much thanks,

Calling all sunglass wearing jib junkies, the Signal Rocker Light snowboard is ready and waiting. The true twin park specialist is built tough for gaps to kinkers, and all the wallrides tricks in your bag. A five degree Three Stage Park Rocker profile gives you a relaxed, pressable ride that won't bat an eyelash if you've got to break up the day with a tree run or two. Triax fiberglass and carbon stringers make it responsive, and the radial sidecut keeps things in check when you're straight lining into that huge step down. The park won't know what hit it.
The Rocker Light runs a mellow version of Signal's Three Stage Park Rocker profile. That means that it's flat between the bindings, and it has a five degree rocker outside the bindings. It results in a catch free ride, that's more planted and powerful than the standard Rocker, which has a more aggressive ten degree rocker. The twin shape opens up unlimited switch variations. Triaxial fiberglass in the topsheet and the core work in conjunction with carbon stringers, increasing the response for a snappy ride. The freestyle friendly medium flex blends pressability with enough stiffness for solid landings. A sintered Durasurf base slides fast and holds a bunch of wax. Plus, like all Signal boards, it's built in the US by people who shred.
