1951 Oldsmobile Custom - Young Man's OldsWritten by on November 1, 2011 Contributors: Rick Amado Jared Roethlisberger finally gets to drive his '51 custom
Like most people who've seen Jared Roethlisberger's '51 Olds in person, STREET RODDER's first look at the car was at the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show where the custom made its debut.
Jared grew up in a family of automotive enthusiasts, watching his uncle work on cars as a mechanic and listening to his mom's stories about her Corvette and '69 Cougar XR7, and his dad's stories of racing on various Southern California dragstrips. His own taste leans toward customs. He started working on his first car, a '41 Plymouth sedan, when he was still in high school.
After selling the Plymouth, Jared was eager to start something new. The guy who had replaced the glass in the Plymouth knew all the area cars, and provided a few leads, then mentioned his own '51 Olds. "The car was covered with a plastic tarp that had glass dust all over it," Jared remembers. There was no interior or windows, the chopped top was only finished half way and there was no engine or transmission. It took me a while to see the possibilities, but within a couple of days I knew I wanted it."
The Olds went to Highway 99 Hot Rods in Visalia, California, for the build. "It was obviously someone's abandoned project," Don Dillard, owner of Highway 99, says. "The drivetrain was missing, there was no interior, and everything that was there was apart and thrown in the inside of the car. The body modifications had been started, but not finished and what was done, was done poorly. But there was no evidence of any collision or rust damage. It was a very solid car before someone started hacking on it.
"At first, Jared told me he wanted it bagged. I said it needed a whole lot more than bags and proceeded to rattle off a list of things that would be included in a groundup build." The front suspension was replaced with a GM G-body ('78-87 Monte Carlo, Cutlass, Gran Prix) front clip—and substituted the front spindles, rotors, and calipers for those from the same year Cadillac, giving up 12-inch disc brakes. The airbags are a RideTech kit for G-bodies. Highway 99 eliminated the original semi-elliptic leafs in the rear but kept the stock axle, and added a custom triangulated four-link and custom brackets for the RideTech airbags. Once all the frame mods were completed the entire chassis was blasted and powdercoated.
Jared supplied the rebuilt Chevy 350, running an aluminum dual-plane intake with a 650-cfm Edelbrock carb, a Technostalgia Caddy-style air cleaner, finned aluminum valve covers, coated blockhugger headers, and Bill's Hot Rod Company brackets. A GM HEI ignition provides spark. TRC in Visalia rebuilt a TH350 transmission for the car. Rather than use the factory G-body mounting location, the engine and trans were mounted lower in the chassis to allow the custom driveshaft, built by McAllister's in Visalia, to line up with the X-member in the center of the frame.
The bodywork was the most time-consuming portion of the build, due to the sad condition of the car. The top chop was unfinished, but it was straight and didn't need re-cutting. Filler work was redone on the top, the windows, doors, and garnish moldings were refinished. All of the trim had been removed from the car and most of the holes welded up. The hood and front fenders were modified with a curved lip where they meet the upper grille bar. The '57 Corvette grille came from Night Prowler's Customs; front turn signals were mounted behind the teeth. Both bumpers were reshaped and then sent to Meclec in Fresno for fresh chrome. The doorjambs were reshaped to accommodate solenoid-activated bear claw latches, and the roof was rounded at the upper corners of the windshield. The '54 Ford headlight was partly installed; Dillard finished welding them and filled the holes below the headlights. The stock taillights were replaced with '54 Merc lenses. See page 58 for tech details on the taillight installation.
Although Jared envisioned the Olds with satin paint, Dillard convinced him that the amount of bodywork that he was doing on the car deserved a shiny finish. Jared's choice of blue is a Laidlaw Trucking fleet color. "Rotten" Rodney Bauman did the filler work, aligning the panels, and shot and buffed the paint.
The Olds rolls on P205/75R15 Diamondback radials from the Whitewall Candy Store in Orange, California. The 15x7 Wheel Vintiques steelies wear '54 Olds wheel covers.
The interior is appointed with mid-'60s GM bucket seats in front and mid-'60s Cadillac seats in the back, upholstered by David Galindo at House of Trim in Paramount, California. The stock dash and instruments were kept and the original clock pod was reworked to house the gauge for the front airbags. Airbag switches were located in the original air vent lever locations. Instead of a stereo head unit, the Olds features iPod jacks in the center console, plus a Kenwood amp, Clarion equalizer/crossover, and front and rear Pioneer speakers.
Three years is not an unusually long build time for a custom like this, but the desire to drive the finished car requires some patience. "The first time I saw it put all back together, I wanted to slap some primer on it and drive it," Jared says, "but I knew that there was a long way left to go."
His patience paid off when he was able to enter his '51 Olds in the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona last January. It can be an intimidating feeling to see your own car on public display amid hundreds of the country's best, and an exhilarating feeling to realize it belongs there.

The trunk floor was modified to fit a '65 Mustang tank. Like the '55 Chevy radiator underhood, these tanks are cheap and readily available. The filler was moved to the side where an Astro van filler was installed behind the stock filler door.The top cover of the '63 Galaxie console was modified for the Gennie shifter topped by a glass door knob. The restored steering wheel once steered a '53 Bel Air.

WASHINGTON (WUSA)- -When we visited the family homeless shelter run by the DC government on Wednesday there were 287 families living there.
They included 596 children and only one vacancy in the entire place that once housed DC General Hospital.
Three months is the average stay, that's a goal, some stay longer. Most but not all complain about the conditions, the food, or the bed bugs.
But with about 20 minutes notice before we showed up with a camera, the place looked scrubbed, quiet and orderly. It was the middle of the day with kids at school and people away on their day jobs, those who had them.
The stories of how the families got there will tear your heart out.
R. Minnick has a seven-year-old son who still makes the honor roll at school while living in the shelter. She had been staying in the nearby train station and abandoned buildings.
Most people didn't want their names or faces revealed. A man and woman said they had been put out. They had two children with a third on the way.
Another man claimed to be a construction worker, who was evicted with a wife and child, now awaiting an apartment.
Most qualify for government rent subsidies; but Mayor Gray and Department of Human Services Director David Berns said on Wednesday, the supply of affordable housing isn't adequate enough to accommodate this group, there is also the issue of jobs and job skills. They're at the bottom in those areas as well.
Advocates say the city government can do more. DC has a rainy day fund of $1.5 billlion with more projected surpluses on the way.
The Mayor is proposing $100 million to go towards affordable housing. But nearly 70,000 people are already on the Housing department's waiting list for public and privately subsidized rentals.
The Mayor's $100 milllion would include seniors, police, fire and teachers and other government workers.

That yote looks happy!! LOL
Went out this morning and had two coyotes run into our stand with a Distressed Jack Rabbit call. I shot mine at about 100 yards and dropped him. My buddy missed his about 180 yards. Once I saw he missed I took a shot at the second coyote and missed as well a tough running shot at about 200 yards. Had a great time! I used my old Winchester Model 70 Westerner in .223 Cal with a Hornady Superforance 55gr GMX bullet. Man that bullet did a number on that dog! Soft ball size entry hole and a complete pass through almost whole length of body (Showed his better side, lol). Gonna go back to the Vmax bullet, lot less drama.
That yote looks happy!! LOL
Very nice packer58, what type of guns, ammo, and calls did you use. Just curious what is working for other folks.
One more grey fox hits the dirt, my buddies son shot his first grey fox today. He used his dads TC 223 cal rifle with a 50gr Nosler Ballistic tip traveling 3500 fps! he hit this guy square behind the shoulder missing all bones. We had a hard time finding the bullet's entrance and exit!! When we did it was tiny holes.

Genetic tests are done by analyzing small samples of blood or body tissues. They determine whether you, your partner, or your baby carry genes for certain inherited disorders.
Genetic testing has developed enough so that doctors can often pinpoint missing or defective genes. The type of genetic test needed to make a specific diagnosis depends on the particular illness that a doctor suspects.
Many different types of body fluids and tissues can be used in genetic testing. For deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) screening, only a very tiny bit of blood, skin, bone, or other tissue is needed.
For genetic testing before birth, pregnant women may decide to undergo amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.
Amniocentesis is a test performed between weeks 16 and 18 of a woman's pregnancy. The doctor inserts a hollow needle into the woman's abdomen to remove a small amount of amniotic fluid from around the developing fetus. This fluid can be tested to check for genetic problems and to determine the sex of the child. When there's risk of cesarean section or premature birth, amniocentesis may also be done to see how far the child's lungs have matured. Amniocentesis carries a slight risk of inducing a miscarriage.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is usually performed between the 10th and 12th weeks of pregnancy. The doctor removes a small piece of the placenta to check for genetic problems in the fetus. Because chorionic villus sampling is an invasive test, there's a small risk that it can induce a miscarriage.
A doctor may recommend genetic counseling or testing for any of the following reasons:
Although advances in genetic testing have improved doctors' ability to diagnose and treat certain illnesses, there are still some limits. Genetic tests can identify a particular problem gene, but can't always predict how severely that gene will affect the person who carries it. In cystic fibrosis, for example, finding a problem gene on chromosome number 7 can't necessarily predict whether a child will have serious lung problems or milder respiratory symptoms.
Also, simply having problem genes is only half the story because many illnesses develop from a mix of high-risk genes and environmental factors. Knowing that you carry high-risk genes may actually be an advantage, if it gives you the chance to modify your lifestyle to avoid becoming sick.
As research continues, genes are being identified that put people at risk for illnesses like cancer, heart disease, psychiatric disorders, and many other medical problems. As research continues, the hope is that someday it will be possible to develop specific types of gene therapy to totally prevent some diseases and illnesses.
Gene therapy is already being used with limited success to treat cystic fibrosis and ADA deficiency (an immune deficiency). However, severe complications have occurred in some individuals receiving gene therapy, so current research with gene therapy is very carefully controlled and none involves children.
Sickle cell disease, thalassemias, and other blood disorders may be the next targets for a genetic cure. Although genetic treatments for major killers, like cancer, may be a long way off, there is still great hope that many more genetic cures will be found. The Human Genome Project, which was completed in 2003, identified and mapped out all of the genes (up to 25,000) carried in our human chromosomes. The map is just the start, but it's a very hopeful beginning.

Port of LA/Long Beach strike update: Shippers demand executive action
November 30, 2012 - LM Editorial
While negotiating teams representing employers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach meet with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit ("OCU") today, several key terminals at both ocean cargo gateways are shut down.
In Los Angeles, operations at 10 of the 14 terminals have stopped. In Long Beach, three of six terminals are closed.
The strike has already had a severe impact on the flow of cargo and on jobs in the harbor community, with multiple ships sitting idle at berth or at anchor in the harbor and hundreds of workers in the ports out of work, report port authorities.
Industry analysts note that there is a significant amount of freight on the water now, so retailers will have to assess over the next week or so whether to ship to alternative ports for current/future Asia departures and whether the goods that are already on the water will make it in time to market (or if extra needs to be shipped airfreight).
Meanwhile, with cargo destined for retail shelves stranded in the San Pedro harbor, the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) is demanding that the Obama Administration step in:
"Given the enormous risk posed by a prolonged shutdown of the nation's busiest ports, we urge you to consider all options, including invoking the Taft-Hartley Act, in order to restore the critical flow of commerce," said RILA president, Sandra L. Kennedy
"We respectfully ask that you put the weight of the White House behind resolving this dispute."

Even the best basic skin cannot replace the essential step of exfoliating. This is the process of removing dead cells from the skin's surface. Jurlique Exfoliators are formulated to thoroughly polish the skin without causing dryness or irritation. Jurlique Exfoliators are important for both the face and the body. Facial exfoliators decongest pores and refine the skin's surface. This can help reduce acne breakouts, diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce discoloration caused by sun exposure and hormonal changes and improve firmness as well as elasticity. All skin types can benefit from Jurlique Exfoliators since they remove not only dead skin cells but also other impurities which can cloud a complexion.
Jurlique Exfoliators can help other treatment products perform better by removing the barrier which can prevent active ingredients from penetrating down to live cells. Moisturizers also perform better after using Jurlique Exfoliators.
Jurlique Exfoliators for the body help to polish and refine the skin on the body. Jurlique Exfoliators also help prepare the skin for self tanners. When the skin's surface is free of dead skin cells and debris, the self tanner goes on more evenly and lasts longer without streaking. Jurlique Exfoliators eliminate rough patches that are particularly common on areas such as the feet, knees and elbows. Jurlique Exfoliators can also reduce flakiness. Make sure to follow with one of the fabulous body lotions from Julique. This will help seal in moisture and leave the skin incredibly soft and supple. Using Jurlique Exfoliators regularly will ensure the smoothest skin possible.
Make sure you select a Jurlique Exfoliator for both the face and the body. Keeping the skin everywhere properly exfoliated is crucial for a healthy complexion and body.
Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream is a gentle exfoliating cream that consists of almonds that have been crushed into a fine powder. This allows the cream to lift away dead skin cells without scratching and damaging the surface of the skin. Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream is rich in the oils of macadamia which help soften and hydrate the skin, protecting it from dryness. Natural plant extracts offer protection against free radicals which are the main cause of premature aging. After you have exfoliated, use a moisturizer to seal in water and keep the skin soft and supple. Exfoliate regularly to eliminate and prevent the build up of dead skin cells and impurities.
Since regular exfoliation can help make the skin look smoother and more refined, it only makes sense to offer an anti-aging exfoliating treatment. Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Refining Treatment is ideal for anyone experiencing the signs of maturity. The polishing treatment helps reduce wrinkles, enlarged pores and discoloration to restore a more even skin tone and quality. Regular exfoliation allows skin cells to turn over faster, stimulating collagen production which leaves the skin firmer and more resilient.
Jurlique Body Exfoliating Gel is a must-have in the shower. The gentle walnut shell formula polishes the skin and purges impurities. Make sure to apply a body lotion after rinsing to keep the skin soft and supple.

Been playing around a bit with 3.2...nice stuff.
Had a question about Virtual Hosts and how SSL certificates are managed.
If I have say 2 domains (for 2 different clients) on the box. I setup webmail.customerdomain.com for each of them, how does 3.2 handle multiple SSL certificates so it doesn't generate the error about names not matching the cert?
I didn't see anything in the 3.2 draft network docs.

Mmmm delicious delicious credits
like to see DG be a little more aggressive, he doesn't need to put up 20 points - however if he is a little bit of a threat then Lucca, Christopherson, Gilstrap and Brackins are even more dangerous.
i like the team, reminding me of the 2000 team.
Ya looked solid... Im pumped for the rest of the season
Love the 90 points.. but i would have liked the 70 to be a little lower.. oh well GO CYCLONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been that interested in natural disasters. I'm not entirely lacking in compassion, but it tends to be directed towards the victims of human evil or stupidity – news of people dying or injured as a result of terrorist attacks or at the hands of murderous fascist regimes affects me much more than a similar number dying in an earthquake or floods or even a tsunami. I suspect that's because when human beings are the cause of suffering, there's a possibility that the individuals or governments responsible can ultimately be captured or toppled. Anthropogenic suffering satisfies our deep human needs for apportioning blame and believing that some form of justice will follow.
Natural disasters are a different matter, because there's rarely anyone to blame, or any very obvious way of stopping them from happening all over again. I'm all for emergency aid being poured in (preferably from states… Read more

if i understand the documents (beta program for ZCB6.5) correctly, i shall create a besadm account with global-administrator status and pass the credentials to the ZCB software.
now that rings alarm bells in my head, because that basically means passing global-administrator privileges to that customer.
shouldn't the permissions of a domain-administrator be sufficient?
using the zmsoap command-line utility i tested with the domain-admin credentials and could successfully list all that domains users. (AutoCompleteGalRequest).
just passing the domain-administrators account to the ZCB (when creating mapi profiles) has the effect that BESx can not create any user.

Alcohol abuse
is the desire for alcohol even when there are alcohol-related work, legal, health, and family problems. Alcohol abuse can progress to alcohol dependence or alcoholism. Alcoholism is a condition in which a person becomes physically dependent on the effects of alcohol and drinks to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Factors that contribute to alcohol abuse and alcoholism include:
It is estimated that nearly 17.6 million people in the United States abuse alcohol or are alcoholics. More men than women are alcohol dependent or have alcohol problems. Alcohol problems are highest among young adults, age 18 to 29, and lowest among adults age 65 and older.
Alcoholism can increase your risk of the following:

What's in a name? If you're looking at the Signal Vita Park women's snowboard, pretty much everything. This true twin park ripper is built tough for rail setups, and hard landings on big jumps. Traditional camber gives you solid edgehold and precise landings, with plenty of control when you want to hit up the rest of the hill. Triax fiberglass and carbon stringers make it responsive, and the radial sidecut keeps things in check when you're juicing every last bit of speed so you don't knuckle step down you've been sweating. Built strong, with the shape and flex that you want for getting wild.
The Park snowboard is built on a traditional camber profile. You already know that means stomped landings, locked in lipslides, and the control that a bunch of your favorite riders rely on for getting buck in the park. 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. The tips are blunted, for reduced swing weight and faster spins. 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.

White House: Egypt's democracy on 'difficult path'
WASHINGTON Egypt is on a "difficult path" to a peaceful democracy, the White House said Monday as months of lukewarm political support for the conservative Islamic government was in danger of backfiring after deadly weekend riots pushed Cairo to crack down on civil rights.
It was the latest strain on the stretched-thin detente between the Obama administration and Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood following - a fault line that already has delayed $1 billion in U.S. aid to Cairo. Billions of additional dollars in international loans also have been shelved because of Egypt's instability.
Washington has worried since June - when Egyptian voters overthrew dictator Hosni Mubarak and picked Morsi as its first democratically elected leader - that the Brotherhood ultimately would default to its anti-American and anti-Israel roots instead of taking a more moderate stance towards peace.
A spate of recent steps - from Brotherhood-led attacks on protesters, to vague protestations of women's freedoms in the nation's new constitution, to revelations of old comments by Morsi referring to Jews as "bloodsuckers" and "pigs" - have raised alarm among senior U.S. officials. Political unrest in Egypt peaked this weekend with clashes that left more than 50 people dead and forced Morsi to deploy military forces and impose a curfew as part of a month-long state of emergency in three Suez Canal provinces.
"We have engaged directly with the Egyptian government as they move forward on the difficult path towards greater democracy and rule of law, and we will continue to do so," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday. "There needs to be a lasting solution to the conflict that we see in Egypt and it has to be a solution that adheres to the rights of all Egyptians.
"Obviously, this is not a lasting solution," Carney said.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo closed hours early on Monday, fearing that protests against Morsi and the Brotherhood could turn violent and endanger American diplomats who work a few miles from Tahrir Square, the base of Egypt's revolution in 2001. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said U.S. officials are "obviously watching how this moves forward," and urged Morsi's secular and liberal political opponents to agree to a national dialogue with the president to settle the burgeoning crisis.
"There are a lot of different views about how to take the country forward," Nuland said.
Egypt is the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood, but its influence and affiliates have spread across the Mideast and into North Africa - where two recent terrorist attacks and a French assault on Islamist militants in Mali have presented Obama with a new front in the war against extremism for his second term.
The White House has little interest in picking a fight with the Brotherhood, which has grown in size and stature across the region since the Arab Spring revolts. The Brotherhood and similar Islamist movements are regarded warily by monarchies in Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco. Its members are part of the opposition coalition seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. It has small followings in Qatar, Algeria, and a like-minded - although not officially affiliated - ally in Tunisia.
The Brotherhood describes itself as a non-violent social organization dedicated to instilling Islamic values in the society. In Egypt, the group was repressed by former regimes for decades and has struggled with adjusting to its new role leading the government. Its members, fearing a coup, are widely blamed with attacking anti-Morsi protesters outside the presidential palace in Cairo last month in clashes that left at least 10 people dead.

Innovation for Next-generation, High-density Data Centers
HGST delivers the world's first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the Ultrastar® He6 for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disk, cuts power consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive.
The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST to offer a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor. In addition to being the world's first helium-filled hard drive, HGST Ultrastar He6 is also the first hard drive in the industry to offer a 6 terabyte capacity. This design offers a 50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%
TCOptimized - Driving Down Data Center TCO with Helium
The amount of data that companies need to store is growing exponentially, but IT budgets remain flat. With 6TB, a low 5.3 idle watts, a reduced weight of 640g, and running at 4-5°C cooler, the new Ultrastar He6 lowers data center TCO on virtually every level. Key TCO benefits when compared to a typical 3.5-inch, five-platter, air-filled 4TB drive include:
This drive is compatible with systems that accept SAS drives.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The Orlando Magic didn't seem to miss their
former All-Star center on Sunday night.
In Dwight Howard's first game against his former club, Arron Afflalo stole the
show by netting a team-high 30 points, as the Orlando Magic upended the Los
Angeles Lakers, 113-103, at Staples Center.
Jameer Nelson returned to the lineup after a one-game absence and registered a
double-double with 19 points and 13 assists. Glen Davis chipped in 23 points
and 12 rebounds, and Nikola Vucevic donated 17 points and 12 boards for the
Magic, who snapped a three-game skid.
Kobe Bryant paced the Lakers with 34 points, seven rebounds and five assists
in the setback, Los Angeles' fourth in its last six games.
Howard, who spent his first eight seasons in Orlando before landing in Los
Angeles in a blockbuster four-team deal, tallied 21 points and 15 rebounds on
Sunday, but his woeful 9-for-21 free-throw shooting plagued his new team late.

Marijuana establishments hoping to set up shop in Rifle under Colorado's voter-approved constitutional amendment that legalized the possession and use of less than 1 ounce of marijuana by those over 21 will have to wait awhile.
The city council informally agreed at a Feb. 20 workshop to consider an ordinance at an upcoming meeting to enact a temporary moratorium on such businesses for the rest of this year.
Rifle would join a growing list of Colorado local governments that have acted since voters across the state approved amendment 64 in the November election.
Police Chief John Dyer asked the council for direction on the issue. The amendment allows municipalities to either allow or prohibit the retail sales of marijuana through an ordinance, or wait to hold an election on the issue in 2014, Dyer said.
He recommended the city put a moratorium on retail sales, since the state has yet to develop any rules or regulations for such businesses, Dyer said.
The state has until July 31 to do so, and if they fail to do so, municipalities that decide to allow the sale of marijuana must have rules in place by Oct. 1.
"I think a moratorium will give us time to see how this all works in places that do allow sales," Dyer told the council.
Dyer said the amendment should have regulated marijuana as a prescription drug.
"When it comes to the recreational sales of marijuana, I'm against it personally," Dyer continued. "That's from a health of the community view and what I've seen in terms of damage done by substance abuse across the board. It's like if you're in a pit with snakes and you throw in another snake. It's not good."
Dyer said 26 Colorado municipalities had adopted ordinances dealing with the sale of marijuana. The city has had interest from at least one applicant for a marijuana growing operation, Dyer said.
City Attorney Jim Neu noted that even without a moratorium, no licenses for retail sales can be sought until Oct. 1.
"I don't think we really have to do anything, the way the law is written," Neu said. "It's more of a safety net."
Enforcement questions
The police department has not spent "a lot of resources" on cases involving the possession of small amounts of marijuana, Dyer said.
"We'd issue tickets into municipal court instead of taking them to jail," he said.
Passage of amendment 64 will make it tougher to enforce marijuana laws, Dyer said.
"It's still going to be against the law to sell marijuana, but how do we determine what's going on?" Dyer asked. "Under the law, it's OK if you just give it away. And driving under the influence of marijuana is going to be a really big problem in terms of how we enforce it."
Dyer noted there is no set limit similar to alcohol, and the department plans to have more officers undergo drug resistance education training, so several officers can respond to calls involving suspected "high" drivers, he added.
"I've been in law enforcement for 30 years and I can tell you there are a vast amount of issues we get involved in that stem from the use of drugs," Dyer said. "My personal opinion is that we shouldn't be doing anything to promote the use of marijuana, but the voters have spoken."
Another unknown is how the federal government will deal with retail sales of marijuana, especially if marijuana sold in Colorado crosses state lines, Dyer said.
Neu said there has been talks of bills in Congress that would exempt Colorado and Washington from federal marijuana laws, since voters in both states approved the use of the drug. However, the fate of those bills is likely years down the road, Neu added.
Pros and cons debated
City Councilwoman Jennifer Sanborn was initially unsure a moratorium was needed.
"When you think of the types of businesses you might think of as ruining the quality of life in Rifle, I can give you a list and I think there are many others worse than this," she said.
Councilman Jonathan Rice said while he strongly supports private property rights, "I'm hugely uncomfortable with the federal law on this right now."
"I think the sales of this drug is a violation of federal law, and that has to matter," Rice added. "If Congress were to actually reverse the law, it would be a different discussion. So I'm leaning toward a prohibition of the entire thing."
Sanborn said most people across Colorado voted for amendment 64, "So I don't think it would be quite right to have this little bubble in Rifle that goes against that."
In Rifle, Dyer noted, voters cast nine more ballots against amendment 64 than in favor of the measure. Rifle voters cast 1,515 votes in favor of the measure, or 49.85 percent, and 1,524 votes against it, or 50.15 percent.
"So I think you could look at either a moratorium or even a prohibition as not going against most voters in Rifle," Dyer said.
Medical marijuana a question, too
Sanborn added that while the way medical marijuana was handled by the state was a mistake, "I'm pleased with the local businesses we have in Rifle, from what I've seen."
Existing medical marijuana shops are not affected by the amendment, Dyer said, except to be prevented from converting their businesses into retail shops, or opening such establishments.
Dan Meskin owns Rifle's first medical marijuana shop, Green Cross Dispensary, at 120 E. Third Street, and attended the workshop. He noted the City of Grand Junction banned all medical marijuana shops after several had opened.
"That just led to the sales being driven underground on the black market," Meskin added. "So they have no pre-regulation of the product or safety standards, they're losing out on all the sales tax dollars. And they haven't gotten rid of marijuana. It's still there."
The shops in Rifle, Meskin noted, see customers from Grand Junction, "since we have strict regulations, the safety of the product is ensured, so everything we sell is completely safe," Meskin added. "We deal with people who depend on us."
After listening to Meskin and others, Sanborn said she had changed her mind and would favor a "temporary moratorium, until the state has its regulations in place."
The city criminal code will also have to be changed to reflect the new law, Neu said.
Councilman Rich Carter asked if retail sales of marijuana would increase use of the drug, or just bring users out into the open.
"That's what I've always believed," Meskin said. "It's always been accessible, so I think you'll just see users that had been hiding themselves."
Carter agreed, but Dyer disagreed and said he felt the number of users will increase with legalization.
Neu noted that even if Rifle allows retail shops, underground use and sales of marijuana will continue.
Rice said he worried about the impact the change will have on families.
"Kids are being significantly hammered in some homes already by substance abuse," the Rifle High School teacher said. "If this makes it easier for those abusers to get what they need, I think it just agitates one of the most significant social issues in our country: What is happening in homes to our kids?"

GAL was pulled from both Active Directory and Zimbra.
I think this will be fixed it Version 4.5, but as of 4.0.5...
Outlook Connector and Shared Calendars...
When adding a calendar to Outlook the GAL has their email address not their Logon account.
List has firstname.lastname@example.com shows up in the list but their real logon account is. firstname.lastname@example.com.
In the admin screen of zimbra switch to Zimbra GAL only (note: we are not in the Authentication screen)
Then add the shared Calendars, it will work.

Pashtunwali – The Code of the Pashtuns
I heard it said by a Pashtun that he has been a Pashtun for 5,000 years, a Muslim for 1430 years, and a Pakistani for 63 years. That is the power of the Pashtun identity, one of the oldest and largest ethnic/tribal groups in the world.
Forty million strong, Pashtuns mainly live in the Pashtun tribal belt which straddles the Afghan/Pakistan border.
The legal and moral code by which they live, deeply embedded in the Pashtun psyche, is the concept of Pashtunwali, the idea that honor, hospitality, revenge, and the importance of tribe, clan, and family are paramount.
Fierce fighters, they are said to have been reluctantly admired by the British, Russians, and any other group who tried to subdue them.
It is said that they are today's Spartans in a culture that lives and breathes war and conflict.
The attempt to extend the influence of a national government is antithetical to the Pashtun ways of living. Outsiders are rejected violently if they threaten to usurp the ancient ways.
In order to understand current events in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it is imperative to understand the mores of this ancient tribe.

Logistics M&A: BDP finalizes acquisition of Spain-based Euromodal
July 09, 2010
Global logistics and freight transportation services provider BDP International said this week it has completed its acquisition of Euromodal S.A., a Madrid, Spain-based logistics services provider.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
With this acquisition, Euromodal will now become Euromodal BDP International Spain S.A.U. and be led by Jose Angel Martinez, Jr., according to BDP officials. Euromodal was founded in 1991 and provides various services, including multi-modal transport, customs brokerage, warehousing, stock control, picking and packing, fiscal depot, outsourcing, and IT for loading and assembling software.
Euromodal has offices in Barcelona, and Valencia along with a worldwide network of affiliates. And by becoming part of BDP it now has access to BDP's IT and global subsidiary network of subsidiaries, joint ventures and strategic partnerships in more than 120 countries. Euromodal has 40 employees and more than 500 customers, including Vodafone, Endesa, Fujitsu , Estee Lauder, Sun Microsystems and Johnson & Johnson. Prior to this deal Euromodal was affiliated with BDP as a member of the BDP Global Network.
"The extension of BDP's presence in Spain and other markets is driven by our customers' business development activity as well as the ongoing study of vertical industry and economic trends," said Arnie Bornstein, BDP International executive director, marketing and communications. "The phased acquisition, which began in late 2007, was predicated on the continuing development of trade lanes including Asia, Latin America, Spain and the Western Mediterranean."
In terms of the biggest benefits of this deal for BDP customers—or shippers—Bornstein explained that in the 'new normal' economy companies involved in international trade are looking outside the one-size-fits-all business model of huge consolidators and others in the logistics service sector. And like BDP, Euromodal has been a family owned and operated business built over the past two decades on zealous attention to individual customers.
"Our complementing business model in tandem with BDP's logistics and transportation visibility technology mean a more intimate and accountable service experience for companies conducting trade in Spain and the Western Mediterranean," he said.
Euromodal's Martinez said in a statement that becoming a full member of the BDP family gives the company even greater leverage in competing more effectively for its customers in the global economy.

Female DNA has been found on at least one of the Boston Marathon bombs, but investigators have not determined whose it is or whether it indicates a woman helped the two brothers blamed for the deadly April 15 blasts, officials told The Wall Street Journal.
The anonymous officials said there could be multiple explanations, including a store clerk who handled materials that Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, used to make the bombs, or perhaps a stray hair or other material that unwittingly ended up on the explosive devices.
Monday, FBI agents went to a Rhode Island home to collect a DNA sample from Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva, the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shootout with police April 19, one official told the Journal. She has been staying with her parents since the bombings.
The sample will be compared with the genetic material recovered.
Agents left her parents' home, in North Kingstown, with several bags. Russell left with her attorneys through a separate door, the Associated Press reported.
One lawyer has said she is "doing everything she can to assist with the investigation."
Her attorneys said previously that Russell and her family were shocked when the Tsarnaev brothers emerged as suspects.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and is being held in a U.S. prison medical facility at Fort Devens, about 40 miles west of Boston. He was wounded either during the gun battle that killed his brother or during the manhunt before his capture the night of April 19.
Monday, a federal judge approved the addition of a prominent death-penalty lawyer, Judy Clarke, of San Diego, to Tsarnaev's legal team. A request for a second capital-punishment expert was denied.

What Makes A Good Network Fabric?
As I wrote in my earlier blog post, the data center network is going through a major transformation to support server virtualization and cloud computing, convergence of data storage, application-to-application traffic and new high-performance applications. To address these needs, the data center network fabric, the system network architecture that interconnects server devices and storage devices in a data center environment, has become a critical lynchpin of data center architecture. I am frequently asked the question, "What makes a good network fabric?" The term "fabric" has nearly as many definitions and permutations as "cloud," so I would like to suggest the top 10 attributes that a data center network fabric should possess.
- Open and Interoperable – Modern data center networking is best accomplished when it is standards-based, when multiple vendors equipment can co-exist and interoperate, and clients can choose between multiple vendors' wares without paying a pricing penalty or needing to rip-and-replace to meet growth needs and implement next-generation approaches. Standards-based Ethernet is a fabric essential.
- High Speed – To meet the performance needs of big data, cloud computing and workload-optimized systems, data centers are increasingly implementing 10 Gigabit Ethernet on the server and in the access and aggregation layers, which is driving interest in 40 Gigabit Ethernet with 100 Gigabit Ethernet on the horizon.
- Low Latency - Applications such as high-frequency trading require the lowest possible latency. The race to zero latency is enabled by ultra-low-latency switches that deterministic with the same connection speeds across every port combination.
- Loss-less – To meet the needs of machine-to-machine applications and converged data and storage networking, Ethernet networks must be loss-less. Network equipment supports the Data Center Bridging (DCB) standards to ensure loss-less operation.
- Flat – Clos and fat tree network designs are becoming increasingly prevalent for the flow-based, non-blocking, shortest path network fabrics required in highly virtualized and cloud data centers and for converged data and storage traffic. With standards such as Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) and Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) on the horizon and other alternatives for flat networks requiring proprietary implementations, network architects favor existing approaches to meshed networking such as Virtual Link Aggregation (vLAG) to maximize network efficiency, reduce congestion and address Spanning Tree limitations by creating active/active Layer 2 network paths for load balancing and redundancy.
- Virtualization Aware – To ensure that network security, performance and access policies move dynamically when live virtual machines migrate from server to server anywhere in the virtualized data center or private cloud, the Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) 802.1Qbg standard specifies the interaction between virtual switching environments in a hypervisor and the first layer of the physical switching infrastructure. The EVB 802.1Qbg standard addresses the conventional vSwitch's lack of network management, monitoring and security.
- Scalable – Linearly scalable is a requisite of network fabric design, which can be achieved by non-blocking, non-oversubscribed topologies implemented using top-of-rack switches.
- User Control – The emerging OpenFlow specification enables network infrastructure providers to deliver open virtual networking systems that that are easy for users to control, optimize performance dynamically and minimize complexity. OpenFlow-based networks enable the network administrator to easily configure and manage virtual networks that control traffic on a per-flow basis. The administrator can easily program an OpenFlow controller to create or delete multiple independent virtual networks and related policies that span the system network without having to deal with the complexities of the underlying physical network and protocol details.
- Unified Management – Network devices that make up the fabric should be managed, configured and provisioned as if they were a single logical device, including the ability to can track virtual machines by switch or IP address, and pre-provision network characteristics for VMs.
- Low Lifecycle Costs – And finally, per-switch costs should be affordable so networks can scale on an incremental basis, the need for expensive chassis switches should be minimized, and low power requirements and cooling efficiencies should enable low energy costs particularly for massive networks fabrics that interconnect thousands of server and storage systems.
We have designed IBM System Networking's Unified Fabric Architecture, our fast, smart, interoperable and proven data center Ethernet network fabric, to deliver across all 10 of these attributes. Unified Fabric Architecture along with the ability to replicate pre-provisioned racks and integrated systems, enables clients that have already invested billions of dollars in their data centers to take advantage of the best innovations in the industry and achieve the lowest possible cost of ownership for their IT infrastructure.

State Laws
(click on map for details)
States requiring no notice: No state requirement for parents to initiate any contact.
States with low regulation: State requires parents to send notification.
States with moderate regulation: State requires parents to send notification, test scores, and/or professional evaluation of student progress.
State with high regulation: State requires parents to send notification or achievement test scores and/or professional evaluation, plus other requirements (e.g. curriculum approval by the state, teacher qualification of parents, or home visits by state officials).
What State's Laws Should I Follow?
The law you should follow is that of the state in which you are physically present.
Why? When you are physically present in a state, even temporarily, you are subject to that state's laws, and, in many cases, to the jurisdiction of its courts. This is true even if your legal residency is in another state and you are only living elsewhere temporarily (such as when active members of the military are completing a temporary assignment). Consequently, you could be required to comply with the home education law of the state in which you are temporarily located.
If you plan to live in another state for a period longer than a month during the time that public schools are in session, HSLDA generally recommends that you comply with the requirements for home education in that state. This general recommendation applies even if you and/or your spouse pays taxes, own property, and/or have employment in another state.
HSLDA members should call our Legal Department for specific advice about how state home education laws apply in their particular situations.

Gertrude B. Nielsen Children's Garden
A Place of Discovery and Imagination
The design and architecture of the Children's Garden plays on every child's dream of being a prince or princess, living free in the trees with animals and having one's very own garden. It's a world open to discovery and enchantment—a world that will attract both children and adults.
The Gertrude B. Nielsen Children's Garden at Green Bay Botanical Garden has been in existence since 1996. The Children's Garden captures the imagination of children with a tree house, slide, vine maze, re-circulating pond and a giant sundial. Children can learn about the wonders of plants and nature through their exploration of our Einstein Garden, Butterfly Garden, Peter Rabbit Garden, Sensory Garden, Sugar Rush Garden, Dragon Fly Bridge, and Frog Bridge. More opportunities abound in the Children's Gardening Patch, Compost Demonstration Area and Wetting Zoo. The plantings, frogs and fish in the Children's Garden are an important basis for the curriculum in our field trip programs. The official size of the Children's garden is 0.5 acres. However, with expanded area in the Children's Gardening Patch, the Wetting Zoo and Compost Demonstration area, the Children's Garden encompasses nearly 1 acre. Thousands of children of all ages visit the Garden throughout the year and more than 4,300 children come through on scheduled school and day care visits. It's truly and amazing garden that neither words nor pictures do justice. The best way to experience the Gertrude B. Nielson Children's Garden is to visit it!
