|125th celebration, car show are this weekend
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
After months of planning and preparation, Holyoke's 125th celebration and the 13th Annual Dandelion Daze Car Show are set for Friday-Sunday, June 14-16.
Holyoke will be buzzing this weekend as festivities for the quasquicentennial anniversary have been scheduled in conjunction with the annual car show.
The celebration will officially begin Friday night with a pie and ice cream social on the courthouse lawn from 6-7:30 p.m. In the event of rain, the social will be moved to Holyoke Vets Hall. Prairie Mountain, a band out of Otis, is slated to provide music for the evening.
Mementos including commemorative coins, key chains and belt buckles will be available for purchase Friday and Saturday.
A pancake breakfast from 7-9 a.m. at Vets Hall will kick start Saturday's events.
Car and parade registration will be held from 8-11 a.m. on the courthouse lawn. Throughout the morning, music will be provided courtesy of Star 92.3. There will also be a registrant giveaway sponsored by S&W Auto Supply.
At 10 a.m. at the Peerless Theatre, Abbey Christman and Diana Krogmeier will present the Phillips County Historic Preservation survey results. Krogmeier is a 2003 HHS graduate.
Last summer Christman, a survey coordinator for the Center of Preservation and Research at University of Colorado Denver, led a survey team to document buildings in Phillips County.
The visual presentation will offer a historical look at how architecture evolved in Holyoke.
While compiling a report of the older buildings in Holyoke, the group worked with the Holyoke Chamber to put together a walking tour of the city. A rough draft of the walking tour will be distributed at Saturday's presentation for feedback and so residents get an idea of the information the team compiled.
The presentation will be free of charge and concessions will be available.
From 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Photography by C Lee will be on hand for vintage pictures alongside the 125th wagon. At 11 a.m. RC gas powered car races are scheduled.
Bill Coleman's "Kids of All Ages" FunFest will take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Attractions such as an inflatable bounce house, velcro wall and horse and carriage rides will be offered.
A historical scavenger hunt will also be an option from 2-5 p.m. as the Phillips County Historical Society offers a look back through 125 years of life in Holyoke. Life in the 1800s will be discussed, and the museum's quilt collection will be on display. More information can be found at the car/parade registration table.
The museum will also have their transportation area showcased, including a Hupmobile, Model T and much more.
Awards for the car show will be given out at 2 p.m. Entrants in the car show will also be able to join in the parade.
At 2 p.m., the winners from the beard contest and vintage clothing competition will be announced. The man picked as having the best overall beard and the female and male winners for the vintage clothing contest will serve as grand marshals in the parade that begins at 3:30 p.m.
In case of rain, the awards for beards and vintage clothing will take place at the Peerless Center.
The parade will begin at the Bank of Colorado on the north edge of town and go to the frontage road off of Hargreaves Street before heading back downtown.
A community meal is set for 5:30-7 p.m. at the courthouse lawn. In case of rain it will move to the Vets Hall. During this time, the historical scavenger hunt answers and winners will be revealed.
Saturday's excitement wraps up with an old-time barn dance at Vieselmeyers' Pioneer Seed shed one mile south of the stoplight from 7:30-10 p.m.
The second showing of the melodrama, "Shawnee Lou, The Prairie's Purest Dressmaker," will take place Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m. at the Peerless Theatre. Many local establishments and familiar names will appear in the melodrama as it is set in 1888 in what is soon to be Holyoke.
For more information on the events offered over the weekend, contact Holyoke Chamber of Commerce at 854-3517 or Holyoke City Hall at 854-2266.

1/4 cup butter
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tblsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 Tblsp. amaretto or vanilla extract
Melt butter, chocolate chips, cream, sugar and salt in a heavy bottom saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; stir in flavoring. Serve warm with fruit, marshmallows or small pieces of pound cake, angel food cake, pretzels or graham crackers.
Keep warm in a fondue pot or small crock pot.
Yields about 2 ½ cups. (Doubles nicely!)
General Melting Tips: or how NOT to turn your velvety chocolate to a rock!
To achieve a smooth, shiny texture, melt chocolate slowly over gentle heat with constant stirring while avoiding any contact with water.
Even small amounts of water don't mix with chocolate. If a droplet of water comes in contact with melting product, it will seize and get hard, instead of melting properly.
High humidity, steam, condensation or water droplets can cause chocolate to seize.
Use dry utensils since any presence of moisture can cause problems.
Chocolate is heat sensitive, with a low melting point, only slightly higher than our body temperature (98.6º F), which is why chocolate melts in your hand. At higher temps the sugar in the chocolate also melts and scorches which can cause morsels, chunks or baking bars to SEIZE and ruin it.
Use low heat; too much heat will cause morsels, chunks or bars to seize, scorch, lose flavor and become coarse and grainy.
When chocolate has melted; promptly remove from heat source.
Break baking bars into small uniform-sized pieces to maximize the melting surface and avoid uneven cooking.
Stir morsels, chunks and baking bars constantly to promote even blending and prevent scorching.

I've hunted Wyoming antelope many times, but never those specific units, but I'll tell you what I have heard.
Unit 91 was last year (2012) was one of the units Eastman's listed as having "extreme winter kill". So that is a real concern.
Unit 106 on the other hand was not in the extreme winter kill area. I have seen photos of some excellent bucks from Unit 106. It is also surrounded on every side by excellent antelope units. I nearly applied there myself last year.
Three of my boys have max points or one point less than max points. We have decided to hold off applying for Wyoming with them in 2013, because of the persistent drought. Most of the core antelope areas in Wyoming are in "extreme drought". Here is a link:
Another thing, antelope begin their horn growth in November, so antelope in Wyoming are already feeling the effect of the drought for next year, no matter how the spring turns out.
With that said, it's hard not to have a good time antelope hunting in Wyoming. Fish and game will adjust tags in June according to winter kill, but it is very likely the trophy quality will be off.

|Softball team ready for action
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS softball action takes to the field this Saturday, Sept. 5 when the Lady Dragons travel to Eaton for a 10:30 a.m. ball game and then to Valley for a 2 p.m. contest.
Seventeen girls comprise the HHS team, led by nine returning letterwinners.
Returning with letters this season are seniors Molly Fricke and Brittany Durbin; juniors Marci Vasa, Makenzie Ault from Revere HS and Macey Pierce from Haxtun; and sophomores Laura Gerk, Jordan Zeiler, Karci Lockwood from Haxtun and Ashley Campbell from Revere.
Three Haxtun players and two from Sedgwick County join the Holyoke girls to form the Dragon team.
Coach Ashley Clayton begins her first year as head coach, after working with the softball team last year as a volunteer.
Clayton competed for four years at Fort Morgan High School and on competitive ASANUSSSA teams. She received an athletic scholarship to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, where she played catcher for three years until she suffered an injury.
She assisted younger kids in summer ball programs, in addition to helping with last year's HHS team.
Ron Lock continues to stay involved with the girls' softball program, serving as assistant coach this year. Also assisting the team as a volunteer is long-time ball program enthusiast Mike Meusborn. Sophomore Amy Krogmeier is team manager.
Commenting on the Dragon team almost two weeks into practices, coach Clayton commended the girls for being very competitive. "They're always up for a challenge, always wanting to get better," she added.
"Our competition is stiff," admitted the coach. She noted many of the teams Holyoke will face have much more summer game experience, while the local girls played only six games this summer.
Coach Clayton is excited to see people take a leadership role and rise to the challenge that's put to them—to communicate and work together as a team.
She added she is excited for all the potential for this team. "It's been fun so far," said Clayton.
Following Saturday's season openers, Holyoke's softball schedule includes:
Sept. 11-12, Burlington tournament; Tuesday, Sept. 15, Akron, here; Thursday, Sept. 24, at Brush; Saturday, Sept. 26, Erie and Lyons, here; Thursday, Oct. 1, Wray, here; Tuesday, Oct. 6, Yuma, here; Saturday, Oct. 10, at Platte Valley and Weld Central; Monday, Oct. 12, Strasburg, here; Tuesday, Oct. 13, at Burlington; Regionals, Oct. 17.

The Life of Lynn WinelandWritten by on March 9, 2009 Contributors: Courtesy of Lynn Wineland's collection
In Rod & Custom's 50-year span, only nine motor-oil-for-blood fanatics have sat behind the editor's desk. As the second, Lynn Wineland had few traditions to work from, but Lynn, an artist, a writer, and a rodder, had all the makings for the job.
Lynn got involved in rodding as a youngster living in Long Beach, California, during the late '30s. A teenaged family friend, five years older than Lynn, raced his '32 Ford roadster at the dry lakes, and Lynn and his dad, an auto mechanic for Shell Oil Company, got involved in running the roadster at Muroc.
Lynn was a teenager when he acquired his first car, a '29 roadster. His dad made him strip it completely apart and rebuild it. Money was hard to come by, and Lynn's only sources of income were sneaking dimes from his lunch money and his paper route. When he found a cracked Winfield head for five bucks, his dad welded it. Lynn couldn't afford popular '39 Ford taillights, so he used clearance marker lights from junked Shell Oil trucks, which were free.
In February 1945, 17-year-old Lynn enlisted in the Air Corps and passed all the tests for pilot/bombardier/navigator training. Three days after graduating from high school, he sold his roadster and reported for duty. Lynn was qualified for pilot training, but the war had ended and the schools had closed, so he ended up in Aircraft and Engine Mechanic School.
Lynn eventually attended a school for jet-fighter mechanics, and ended up as crewchief on the FP-80 photo chase plane at Muroc Flight Test Center, arriving in time to hear the boom as Chuck Yeager broke the sonic barrier in 1947. Lynn, a capable artist, designed an emblem to commemorate the achievement. He was also involved with the YB Flying Wing project. After co-pilot Glenn Edwards was killed when the experimental plane crashed, Muroc was renamed Edwards Air Force Base in his honor.
At Muroc, Lynn kept in touch with friends from his dry lakes racing days and met Alex Xydias and Dean Batchelor at So-Cal Speed Shop. At the first Hot Rod Show at the L.A. Armory in 1948, he met Doane Spencer, who became a lifelong friend. He was totally taken by Spencer's black roadster. "I went to the show every day and kept going back to that roadster," says Lynn. "It was different from anything else!" Lynn began work on a roadster of his own-a unique one-door Deuce with a speedboat windshield resembling the DuVall on Doane's '32. Spencer and Lynn would cross paths again at the '51 Indianapolis Hot Rod Show, where they were both showing their roadsters. "Doane parked his roadster right next to mine," Lynn recalls. "Little did I realize that someday I'd own that car."
While stationed in Ohio, Lynn started looking under the hoods of local rods, usually finding stock engines. He began to sell So-Cal speed equipment to Midwest rodders, who called him "that damned hood-lifter." In 1948, he and his friends started a club called Hoodlifters. When the club sponsored a reliability run in 1950, Lynn wrote an article about the event for Hot Rod magazine.
After leaving the service, Lynn graduated from the Dayton Art Institute and worked for six months in the styling department at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. He continued to submit freelance stories to automotive magazines in California. His stories for Motor Trend announced Ford styling trends without revealing specifics.
One day, Lynn looked out his studio window at his '32 five-window coupe sitting in the snow-covered parking lot and covered with salt from a passing 10-wheeler. This is not the place for a California boy, he thought. He resigned, got in the coupe with his wife and six-month-old daughter, and headed to California, where he attended Art Center in Los Angeles.
Doane Spencer, now a neighbor, helped Lynn get a job as a flight line mechanic for Flying Tigers. After a week on the job, he felt that his training and experience were wasted working on piston engines. He walked across the runway to Lockheed and was hired to work on a top-secret 1950 spy-plane project called U-2.
Back To Hot Rods
Neil Emory's Valley Custom Shop was a block from Lockheed. One day during lunch, Lynn walked in and asked if he could take some photos of the cars in the shop. After hearing Lynn's background, Emory hired him to do freelance design work. Dean Batchelor at So-Cal was involved with a little magazine called Hop Up (R&C was a spinoff of Hop Up) and hired Lynn to do layouts and drawings.
Around this time, Doane Spencer started selling parts of his roadster to help pay for a house. Lynn feared that the parted-out roadster would quickly disappear, and bought the body, frame, cowl-mounted Schroeder steering, top, modified firewall, and grille shell for $300, the cost of drapes for Spencer's house.
In 1956, R&C's editor Spencer Murray hired Lynn as an art director, allowing him to continue his freelance writing under the pen name Parker Hunt. Lynn hadn't a clue as to what his new job entailed. When Murray left on a three-month car-show tour, Lynn worked all night long every night. "Murray would send photos back," remembers Lynn. "I'd do the layouts and write the captions. I was virtually doing the whole magazine!"
After a general manager at Petersen Publishing learned Lynn was doing double duty and noticed that sales had increased under his direction, Lynn became R&C's second editor.Lynn left his editor position at Rod & Custom in 1961. "I was told to clear out my desk. I replied, 'I can't...I own the desk!'" He was quickly hired back as managing editor for R&C's sister mag, Car Craft. From there, he transferred to Petersen's book division, where he helped create CarToons magazine. Lynn left Petersen in 1964.
Letting Go
In 1968, Lynn, in the middle of a divorce, parted with the Spencer roadster. Neal East, a fellow R&C staff member, took possession of it. "I couldn't bring myself to sell the car," says Lynn. "I could stay involved with the car if I made it a gift-with stipulations. It must stay all black, all Ford, and Neal could never sell or trade it," Lynn explains. "Neal did not get a basket-case, as has been reported numerous times."
East sold the car to collector Bruce Meyer in 1995, around the time of Spencer's death. Lynn's attitude is that "There are those of us who have been custodians of the car. I never thought that it was my car; it was Doane Spencer's. It's in another custodian's hands now." Meyer, who restored the car and drives it regularly, recognizes his custodial role. "Doane would've approved," smiles Lynn.
Looking Back
The little pages of the original Hop Up and R&C were easy to sneak into a classroom. Some of us would have flunked otherwise. We took an interest in reading from those magazines. We learned math by calculating rearend gearing and compression ratios. We learned skills and trades from how-to articles. Hot rodders may have been considered ruffians, but Lynn and his counterparts quietly cultivated us. We may have been looked at with suspicion, but over the years, with the guidance of pioneering editors like Lynn, the wariness turned into respect.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Lynn went to Bonneville with his '34 three-window coupe in 1951 and ran 117 mph. The engine and running gear came from his roadster (he traded his body and frame for the coupe body and frame). Later on, this car came to a tragic end. Lynn, inspired by the Pierson Brothers' coupe, chopped the top of the coupe, then asked a fellow Hoodlifters club member to fill the roof. After cutting a donor piece to weld in, the bodyman "chased dent after dent," says Lynn. "He tried to shrink-weld it. He tried to swell it. One night, after working on it most of the day, he got mad and destroyed the entire body with a pecking hammer. Nothing was left undamaged."Lynn created a brochure for his friend Duffy Livingstone, who was manufacturing "little cars" at GP Muffler in Monrovia, California. Lynn felt a racier name was in order. At two in the morning it came to him: Go Kart. That's Lynn having too much fun at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.Photograph: Eric RickmanLynn wrote a series of articles titled "Fit a Feathered Ford to your Forty Freighter," on installing a T-bird engine in a '40 pickup. This innocent-appearing truck was built from one '41 and two '40 pickups, with a '57 312 factory high-performance D engine under the hood. Lynn gave it to his dad for Father's Day. Mr. Wineland sold it a few weeks later for $800-Lynn had that much money in the upholstery.Lynn liked sleepers. He was doing creative work for Shelby in 1963 when this "Cobra in Ranchero's clothing" was built. It sported a 289 Cobra engine, Cobra stabilizer bars, Lincoln finned brakes in front, and a functional hood scoop. A business associate took it to Mexico without permission and thrashed it. Returning to the U.S., the culprit angered some border-patrol officers, who further destroyed the truck while looking for contraband.Lynn thought up mini-bike as a name for the pocket-cycle. R&C held its first Tiny Bear Run competition in 1960. Here, Lynn puts a check mark on a racer's helmet card.Lynn never missed a chance to lift a hood to see what was hot-thus he and his friends became known as the Hoodlifters. Lynn formed the club in 1948 and attended the still-active Hoodlifters 50th anniversary in 1998. This member card is an example of Lynn's graphic-art talents. His hundreds of designs include the famous L.A. Roadsters' logo.What does a former editor of Rod & Custom, now into his eighth decade, use as a daily driver? You're looking at it. Lynn's highly modified Honda CRX hangs out at Bonneville, El Mirage, and The Home Depot. The number was Duffy Livingstone's during his racing days.

Royals Visit Children's Hospital
Before heading to Kauffman Stadium for Tuesday night's game, Buddy Bell had a stop that he wanted to make. A stop that he makes throughout the season. A stop that has nothing to do with baseball. A stop that he holds very deep in his heart.
The Royals Manager grabbed a couple of "kids" from the team – you know them better as outfielder Mark Teahen and third baseman Alex Gordon – and headed to Children's Mercy Hospital just south of downtown Kansas City this afternoon.
The trio – along with a couple of us from the front office – visited two floors of the hospital, meeting young patients like 8-year-old Destiny (pictured here), passing out Sluggerrr dolls and signing autographs.
In related news…
Earlier today, it was Royals Hall of Fame pitcher Jeff Montgomery heading downtown, meeting us at the UMB Bank, located on 10th and Grand, to purchase the first ticket in the third annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. This year, St. Jude's is giving away a $345,000 house built by Jacobs Construction to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

While they still have his match with Wade Barrett listed on their website, they did not bother making a preview video for their upcoming bout at Extreme Rules.

ScholarLynk is a collaborative content management and scholarly communication tool. It builds on research conducted as part of the Research Desktop project at Microsoft Research Cambridge and levereges infrastructure built as part of the DRIVER EU project.
ScholarLynk is a desktop solution aiming to support researchers in building and maintaining 'reading lists' of resources in collaboration with other researchers. A reading list is defined as a grouping of heterogeneous resources, e.g., academic papers, web pages, local files, together with associated metadata, annotations, and associations.
The novelty of ScholarLynk is twofold: it provides a unified interface for managing desktop and web data sources and it supports a collaborative environment.
We are working on a prototype that offers tools for (i) constructing reading lists by tagging desired resources, (ii) seamlessly incorporating remote data sources as desktop resources, and (iii) supporting sharing of reading lists and collaboration with other users of the ScholarLynk.
The prototype implementation leverages the DRIVER Infrastructure for European Open Access publications that currently comprises over 3 million publication records from 287 repositories world wide. With respect to ScholarLynk, the DRIVER infrastructure offers: (i) integrated data sources by providing search facilities over DRIVER bibliographic metadata, and (ii) hosting of content and metadata from the users' personal spaces and sharing of that data via authorized client applications.
We hope to make the prototype available for download in the near future. Our initial planned release date had to be delayed due to additional functional requirements.

Despite Cuomo's help, a law still needs to be changed
(Page 2 of 2)
The Biggert-Waters act must be either repealed or changed to reflect the reality of what happened when Hurricane Sandy steamrolled across the tri-state area, its powerful floodwaters moving the earth beneath house foundations from New Jersey to Connecticut.
In fact, Rep. Maxine Waters, one of the two members of the House of Representatives who wrote the act, has requested that it be put on hold until it can be changed. Waters, a California Democrat whose co-author was former Rep. Judy Biggert, an Illinois Republican, has bemoaned the "unintended consequences" of the law, including huge increases in flood insurance premiums and the high percentage of homeowners who have been denied assistance by FEMA under its provisions. Waters has said she is committed to passing legislation to delay most of the law for three years.
Late last month, Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat from Louisiana, introduced a bill in the Senate that would reform Biggert-Waters by making flood insurance more affordable and repealing the earth-movement clause.
We applaud the move at the highest levels to rework Biggert-Waters. All of the local elected officials who voted for its passage, including Sen. Charles Schumer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Rep. Gregory Meeks, have repudiated their votes, arguing that the law looked reasonable at the time, when it was necessary to rework the flood insurance program.
Now, with the knowledge and experience gained from Sandy, it is time to change the law to ensure that next time a storm hits, there will be no such horrible surprise for homeowners looking to their government for assistance.

|Improbable comeback ends Dragons' playoff hopes
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
When the clock on the scoreboard reached zeros at Max Bernard Field Friday night, Oct. 25, Dragon football players were left consoling one another as Wray celebrated a playoff berth with the 38-37 Eagle victory.
Coming into the game, both squads needed the win to claim the third seed in the 1A North Central standings to move on to the playoffs. Holyoke's loss eliminated them from the playoff hunt with a 5-4 overall record, 3-3 in league play.
Logan Tharp, pictured at left, and Andrew Kent, at right, team up to make a defensive stop near their goal line in the first quarter of Friday's home game with Wray.
What started off as a defensive showdown in the first half quickly turned into a shootout to end the match.
"We played great at times, but we gave up too many big plays," coach John Zilla said. "After scoring, you can't give up long pass plays and kick returns for touchdowns."
After the match opened with a pair of punts by each team, Wray blocked a Dragon punt to gain possession at Holyoke's 7-yard line. The Eagles drew first blood with a quarterback sneak for a touchdown more than halfway through the first quarter. A bad snap on the PAT prevented the Eagles from tacking on another point as they went up 6-0.
Starting on their own 35-yard line, the Dragons moved down the field with the help of two Wray penalties and aggressive running by running backs Bradley Cumming and Dylan Kotch.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Rims in stock than that.View Similar Products
Stan's NoTubes ZTR 355 Disc Rim $0.00
The Stan's No Tubes ZTR 355 Disc Rim is a lightweight rim option for 26" wheeled bikes. At about 355g, it saves valuable rotational weight. The design takes advantage of both disc and tubeless technology to build a rim that is strong, thanks to a triangulated shape that holds the tire firmly, thanks to re-thinking what it takes for a rim to hold a tire. It's hard to say that hooked interior sidewalls are "tired" but it's hard not to re-think the way the tire is held when we have the technology to build just about everything with greater precision and tighter tolerances. Tire beads are extremely similar tire-to-tire, and barely vary, so making a rim that mates perfectly with that bead is easy, and in so doing, makes the tire-rim connection tighter and stronger. The interior curve of the rim wall does this very thing, having a curve that is the inverse of the bead, so the two fit like a well-designed ball-and-socket. The tight fit makes running low pressure tubed or tubeless easy, and the short rim wall means that both pinch flats and "burping" is less common.
The Stan's No Tubes ZTR 355 Disc Rim is crafted from 6061 aluminum and is drilled for 32 spokes -- no eyelets. The rim's width is 24.4mm. The effective rim diameter (ERD) is 540mm. If you want to stay superlight, use the small 5g valve stem and Stan's yellow spoke tape. If you want to use the heavier-duty 38g rim strip, it is best to enlarge the inner cavity valve hole to 3/8" -- and once this is done, the 5g valve stem will no longer work. The rim works with and without tubes. Maximum tire pressure for 2.2" or larger tires is 40psi, 2.0" (43psi), 1.5" (50psi), 1.0" (55psi). 355g.

Wild and unruly kids
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:35 AM
Saturday nights are public nights and the arrangement is awesome: bring your scope out and show the public the wonders of the universe from dusk until 10:30 pm, then feel free to remain to do your own observing well after the park closes and in a dark environment. It is an ideal and cherished arrangement.
Like many, I enjoy outreach. It's fun. In fact, my volunteer work out at the observatory during high school is directly responsible for my career as an educator. There is just something magical about witnessing that invariable catch in the voice as someone looks through a telescope for the first time.
However, there is one thing that has threatened to make me just stop doing it. Actually, it even made me take a hiatus for several years in the past.
It's those wild, unruly kids. These are the ones that grab the scope and push it around. It is not all the kids, of course, not even the majority of them. If I were to try to classify them it would be that they are in the younger grades, exclusively male, not within twenty feet of their parents or supervising adults, and seem to have had a recent meal made of nothing but sugar. (They are often groups of boys, such as Scout Troops. I'm not saying that scout troops are inherently unruly, but that is the most common large number of boys that come by the observatory.)
Of course, people and kids are going to bump my scope. It's people's natural inclination to reach out and try to grab hold of the eyepiece while trying to center their eye on it. I get that. That is normal and to be expected. It's the ones that run up and grab the scope or put their face over the aperture and try to yell down my tube.
I hate that. This is my telescope, it is special to me, and well, it is expensive.
I often think that maybe this behavior is related to the trend in science museums, especially those that cater to kids. Most of the displays are designed to be manipulated and they are always ridiculously over-built to withstand onslaught of abuse a steady stream of kids can bring. They scream "Touch me! Move me! Find my limits! Try to figure out how I work!" (This is not a bad thing....hands-on science is a good thing!)
It might even be related to the inherent design of the observatory. Below the observing deck is the main lobby in which are peppered about various computer stations for the patrons to explore -- again that touch me/move me/run around and explore notion. It's a stark contrast to the decidedly do not touch/stand in line/do not run notion of the deck above. (Again, I like the computer stations....it's a step up from just having pictures on the walls to look at.)
And then again, it might just be the overall environment. When we do star parties at schools, the kids are always well-behaved. Perhaps it is the proximity of being on school grounds and close to their teachers. Whereas out at the state park they are free of all of those visible bounds of discipline.
In any case, and before I write a thesis, I'm trying to think of ways to well, minimize my risk. I'm going to try to set up in a corner so that people have to approach my scope from just one side (I'll be able to see them coming, I suppose). I'm also going to buy a larger step ladder and place some of those small red LED lights on it. The idea here is to 1) provide a physical barrier to the scope and 2) a psychological barrier as well, the young rowdy kids will hopefully be initially focused on the lights on the ladder than my tube.
I'm not an aggressive person and I'm jealous of other astronomers who have a commanding presence when they say "don't touch" every three minutes. I don't think the wild and unruly kids are going to go away. It's part of the package of outreach, so I'm working on managing it.
Suggestions welcome!
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:28 PM
What do I do about kids, or disrespectful people who are a problem? I would have to believe that they are in the minority of people who would be willing to take a look. I too am like you. I don't want to be the overbreeding person saying " don't touch that" but I guess there has to be some of that interaction to make sure that damage is not done.
I will be eagerly awaiting others experiences on this. I believe that some will say that using a scope that is your " crown jewel" at an outreach may be part of the answer. But most of us don't have multiple scopes.
I will be following this thread closely and hopefully I can learn as well.

I remain beside the scope to interact with each person at the focuser. This seems to cover all the bases of watching out for my gear, sharing insight with them into what they're seeing, and gaging whether or not they are good candidates for steering the scope along with the target. All my mounts are alt-az, and allowing them to steer the scope is usually very big deal for those who do so. The wild and unruly kids are not likely to be among those I'd ask. Nor their parents for that matter.
In truth kids left to run wild are one of the reasons I only use one scope at outreach, with minimal other stuff out. No tables for charts and eyepieces. Once upon a time, but not for many years. I found it to be less for me to watch over, and less for others to bump into. Also less to pack up.

There is also never a focus issue, and objects like the dumbbell and the Sagittarius nebula are visible in full color. Galaxy structures are clearly visible.
Because I talk to a group and not a series of individuals, I have more time to develop ideas and generate discussions. That leads extensive engagement.
I probably wouldn't enjoy outreach as much and I'm sure that the experience wouldn't have as much impact on visitors if I used more conventional equipment.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 04:13 PM
"Look with your eyes, not with your hands." It helps.
These words are also part of what we tell them indoors before letting them out to look through the scopes. But that's only when we are running both the indoor and outdoor parts. Your situation is different.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 04:58 PM
it happens
I am safer than adults at public star parties,
adults are safer than kids,
kids are safer than drunks
but anytime you get out the scope, there is a risk
so do a little risk reduction/management
do the above suggestions
do not get out the best optics if you are worried
accept that a little risk is worth it for outreach
BUT-a few years back I went to the CedarKey star party and a well known amateur was showing Saturn with his 8-10" AstroPhysics MAC scope
-the most expensive set up I have ever seen at a star party
-the best view of Saturn that I have ever seen
sometimes it is worth it
Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:13 PM
The point is the walker in the background. When I put it in front of the eyepiece with the small green stool, the kids have to hold onto the walker. I've been using it for about two years, and it keeps hands of the eyepiece/diagonal and for older adults who have to bend over, holding onto the walker eases any vertigo from bending over in the dark. From third grade up through high school, they don't need the green stool but for the little ones, it helps. The key is to keep the hands on the walker; it steadies them in the dark, and keeps the hands busy. Cheapo aluminum foldup walker.

Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:26 AM
This is one concern that keeps me from getting back into outreach. I got tired of doing school events where kids were just running around hog wild while parents stood around in groups chit chatting and ignoring the chaos. What a waste of time.
:question:waste of time
but if we do not try to get the next generation interested in astronomy/science;
our hobby is in bad shape

I was talking with one of my club members a few weeks ago who brings out his 18" scope and has never had any problems. It may be that his scope is so large that there really isn't anything to grab on to initially.
One of our members also brings out his 5" Astrophysics. But this scope rides so high on his G11 that the kids can't initially reach it.
Look at my scope. It's essentially "kid friendly." It's a big visible white tube at kid height. This is a blessing and a curse. Many times I've been able to give a young kid a view of something because they were afraid of the step ladders on the other scopes. On the other hand, it seems to say "grab me."
Maybe I just need to buy a larger aperture scope. Hmmm.

You could also get a beater scope. A really old C5 or C8. It does not have to be special. Saturn and the moon will always impress no matter the quality of the scope.

I did my share of outreach early in my observing "career" but don't understand the need to proselytize the hobby like some religion looking for converts...it will do just fine as there are always those that seek it out on their own.
This "greying issue" came up at the GSSP last year as a topic of discussion...how do you get young people interested in amateur astronomy? As people were talking about this I looked over to two teenagers in the courtesy tent and noticed they were there because it was the "hotspot" for their video game playing....enough said.

You are a member of the IDA and you can't figure out why astronomy needs to reach out to those that are younger and you already know it can't work because they are playing video games?
This thread hasn't really done anything to change my feelings about kids, but it is certainly making me wonder about my fellow astronomers.

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Henrik Sedin scored a pair of goals and
Daniel Sedin added a goal and two assists as the Vancouver Canucks cruised to
a 6-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.
Zack Kassian, Alexander Edler and Jeremy Welsh added goals for the Canucks,
who snapped a five-game skid. Roberto Luongo made 14 saves in the win.
"We needed to get the puck to the net and keep shooting and we did that. We
played well, we hadn't scored a lot, so it feels good," said Kassian.
Matt Calvert and Artem Anisimov both scored for the Blue Jackets, losers in
five of their last seven games. Sergei Bobrovsky allowed all six goals on 35
shots in the setback.
"It happened fast. We had a couple opportunities to take the lead, but they do
a great job pressuring you. They were able to finish with a few quick goals.
Obviously against a good team it is tough to recover from," said Blue Jackets
coach Todd Richards.
Calvert opened up the scoring 2:47 into the game with his first goal of the
season. Calvert took a pass from Michael Chaput at the blue line, bounced off
a Vancouver defender and raced for the net. He faked a pass, pulled the
puck back and danced around Luongo before depositing the disc in the back of
the net.
Vancouver, though, scored five straight goals to run away with the win.
Daniel Sedin got the Canucks on the board with his goal with 16 seconds left
in the first quarter. Sedin recovered the puck behind the Blue Jackets' net
and skated out to the right circle before firing a wrister past Bobrovsky.
Kassian, Henrik Sedin and Edler each scored within nearly a two-minute span in
the middle session.
First, Kassian ripped a wrister that Bobrovsky initially knocked down, but the
puck trickled across the goal line for a 2-1 lead with just over 12 minutes
played in the second. Henrik Sedin then cleaned up a rebound from a Daniel
Sedin shot to make it 3-1 at the 13:59 mark.
Edler capped the big period with his slapshot from the blue line 16 seconds
later for a three-goal cushion.
Henrik Sedin lit the lamp once again 9:05 into the third period. Daniel Sedin
fired a shot from just inside the blue line and Henrik Sedin was there to
redirect the puck off Bobrovsky's glove and into the back of the net for a 5-1
Anisimov scored with 3:02 remaining and Welsh netted his first career goal
with 29 seconds left for the final margin.
"The goal feels good, been a while coming," Welsh said.
The Canucks killed off five Columbus power plays, but went 0-for-4 on their
own power play chances ... Ryan Stanton had three assists ... Welsh appeared
in 21 career games before recording his first goal. He now has two career

Is the address_book portion of ZCS 7 implemented in LDAP? I read, about a week ago, a thread on the forums that I haven't been able to find since. It suggested that MySQL was the base, not LDAP.
I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to synchronize address_book records from a ZCS server to Google Apps: in such a way that the records would then be available (with type-ahead, in particular) to users of a GApps organization's gmail users and would update contact information on their smart phones (iphones and androids, primarily).
If there isn't an actual tool out there, I'd like to know which developers (in terms of areas of expertise) I'd need to contact about building one.

AMA Board Chairman Stan Simpson (left) presented Jerry Abboud the AMA's prestigious Dud Perkins Lifetime Achievement Award in a ceremony at the Colorado 600 off-road ride in August.
Also at the Colorado 600, Wayne Allard, a former U.S. senator and representative from Colorado who now serves as AMA vice president for government relations, briefed riders on issues.
Abboud is a lawyer and resident of the Denver suburb of Thornton, Colo. He serves as executive director of the Powersports Dealers Association of Colorado, which was formed more than 40 years ago to protect the interests of motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, personal watercraft and snowmobile dealers in the government arena. Abboud has dedicated decades to promoting the motorcycle lifestyle and protecting the future of motorcycling.
The AMA Dud Perkins Award has been presented 48 times since its establishment in 1971. It's named after it's first recipient, a San Francisco motorcycle dealer who embodied tireless and generous support of motorcycling.
A top-notch racer from the 1910s to the 1930s, Perkins opened a Harley-Davidson dealership in San Francisco in 1914 that would become one of the nation's oldest dealerships. Perkins found ways to keep his business alive through two world wars and a Depression and pass on the business to his son and, later, his grandsons.
Perkins was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998.

Rockets and Missiles
The rocket, a reaction-propulsion device that carries all of its propellants internally, has been around for almost a millennium since its invention in China. But the twentieth-century saw a technological explosion of new rocket-propulsion systems, using both solid and liquid propellants. Rocket-powered vehicles were developed for two primary purposes: spaceflight and weaponry. Guided missiles also appeared in the mid-twentieth century with air-breathing propulsion systems, and these are included in the National Air and Space Museum's Rockets and Missiles collection. Among its highlights are: the world's best collection of artifacts from American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard, an extensive collection of German World War II missile and rocket artifacts, a large number of American Cold War missiles and launch vehicles, and rocket engines from small thrusters to a gigantic F-1 motor from the Saturn V Moon rocket.

Officials to Hear Budget Pitches
March 9, 2013
By SHELLEY HANSON Staff Writer Ohio County's department heads are scheduled to make their pitches for the fiscal 2014 budget next week. Following their regular 6 p.m....
Curly, Moe, and Larry. Good God what a trio of incompetence.

Government being what it is, will officials be there seeking to expand their agencies? In an area with a declining population why is that? Why do county offices need to expand every year? In the past elections we were told that energy and the Highlands have made us so well off, but there seems to be no return to the taxpayer on the "windfall". Perhaps its not there afterall. I do not recall a single property tax rollback from the Highlands or gas. How can you have that much commerical property and no tax reduction to homeowners? Government seems to embrace the role of the parasite bully. We saw Marshall County BOE gobble the new tax assessemnt revenues, and in OC we see the BOE wants to gain $500K by shutting off the library's stipend that we voted for in the last levy. The taxpayer can never catch a break, but in the elections they are all going to lower taxes, create more jobs and provide heaven on earth. More cousins on the payrolls.

Testimony: Mom discovered girl's abuse on flash drive, Micro SD card
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 1:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
A mother sobbed on the witness stand Thursday as she recounted how she found videos of her boyfriend sexually molesting her 4-year-old daughter.
Photo Galleries
The boyfriend, Guies U. Johnson, 42, is on trial after being charged with several counts of sexual battery, lewd or lascivious molestation, child pornography possession and promoting sexual performance by a child.
The mother, whose name is being withheld to avoid identifying the victim, detailed how she met Johnson on an online dating website after she separated from her husband in 2011. The two became close and started seeing each other regularly after their first meeting in October 2011.
Johnson moved in with her at her Ocala home a few months later.
In September 2012, the mother said she was moving a dresser at the home and a USB drive and Micro SD card fell from atop the mirror attached to the dresser.
She later testified that she found several intimate photos of Johnson and an explicit video of him molesting her daughter, now 5 years old, on the drive and card.
"Initially, I assumed it (the drive and card) was just Guies Johnson's," the mother said.
When asked to describe what she saw on the video, she began to sob uncontrollably as she tried to talk about the incident.
Although Johnson's face was never shown in the video, the mother said she was able to identify him because she recognized his voice and some of the body parts depicted in the video.
The molestation allegedly occurred while the mother was away at work and Johnson was left at home to look after the girl.
In opening statements, Johnson's defense attorney, David Mengers, argued that he was not the man shown in the video.
"The evidence is not going to support the inference that Guies Johnson is the person that did it," Mengers said.
Testimony from the state's witnesses was expected to continue Thursday afternoon.

I'm using Zimbra Desktop V2 Beta 3.
I completed a reindex on one account and the address autocomplete feature when composing email now fails everytime. It still works on another account so I conclude that the reindexing must have done something.
The good news is searches are now faster and more accurate after the reindex, but it woudl be nice to get address autocomplete working.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I would also love to see an RE scrambler, or what I would really want would be a light weight touring bike with some decent dirt capability(actually that is my long term goal for modifying my G5).
New GT 300 miles $4500. Owner bought it and could not adjust to the bike, too slow he said........Forks will go to Race Tech.
That is my bike in the Dallas craigslist ad; If you were referring to me, I don't recall you contacting me about negotiating on price. I've had a couple people try to trade for vehicles I don't want, and one asking about the accessories on the bike...but that's it. Shipping fees on a slightly used bike will put it awfully close to new, so most will go that route. I've just got to hope it sells locally....I know there's a limited market for these bikes; most people have never heard of the new GT. I like my bike and if I didn't have some unexpected things come up I would keep it....Heck, for that matter, I'd love to see RE use the same frame with a different suspension and bodywork, lower foot pegs, traditional handlebars, and a high pipe and sell a 'scrambler'. Given the typical age of the RE buyer, I think a scrambler type bike would fit their needs -and aging bodies- better than a cafe styled bike, but that's just my opinion.....
"It is an unknown in the US."
I would encourage you to contact ScooterBob if you truly want to soup up your GT engine......total genius of a man......great guy and knows more about the inner workings of these UCE engines than any other soul in North America.

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Beyoncé onstage together; Gaga kicking off the show in drag backed by a legendary rock guitarist; Adele pitting a stripped-down stage show against the likes of surprise performers Jay-Z and Kanye West's pyrotechnics; and legendary grunge trio Nirvana name-checked by Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Chris Brown like it was 1991.
It was, of course, the 2011 VMAs. And women ruled the night.
Five of the eight televised awards (including, of course, Best Female Video) went to strong females: Video of the Year (Katy Perry), Best Pop Video (Britney), Best Hip-Hop Video (Nicki Minaj), Best Collaboration (Perry, with Kanye) and Best Female Video (Gaga).
Speaking of Gaga, her Jo Calderone alter ego introduced on the cover of Japanese Vogue opened the show. With a dirty white T-shirt, black pants, boots and a pompadour to make John Travolta's character in "Grease" blush, there was nothing "Lady"- like about Gaga in drag as she took multiple drags from a cigarette.Go backstage with Kanye West, Britney Spears and more at the VMAs.
After a monologue, Gaga in drag jumped onto a piano bench and started to belt out "Yoü and I." As the beat kicked in, she joined a group of male dancers who were all wearing the same outfit as her. When she introduced legendary Queen guitarist Brian May for the song's solo, the camera cut to a visibly enthusiastic Dave Grohl clapping wildly from his seat in the audience. Gaga cracked open a beer, climbed on top of her piano and sprayed the front row with the alcohol. Britney's mouth was agape during the performance, and Katie Holmes was smiling. Lady Gaga kissed May's cheek before she exited the stage.
The first Moonman of the night was presented by Nicki Minaj and Jonah Hill, who made hay with his very obvious weight loss and poked fun at fans on Twitter who've speculated his new physique might make him less funny. Minaj practically screamed "Britney Spears!" who collected the award for Best Pop Video. "I wasn't expecting this," Spears said. She thanked God, her kids, her management, her beau Jason Trawick ("I love you!") and "Till the World Ends" director Ray Kay.
Relive Beyoncé's big night at the VMAs in photos!
Pyrotechnics introduced surprise performers Jay-Z and Kanye West to the stage as the pair lit their microphones ablaze, trading verses from their landmark collaboration album, Watch the Throne. Jigga wore a much cleaner white T-shirt than Gaga while West was dressed in skintight denim and a matching button-up shirt, with an American-flag bandana in his pocket that matched their backdrop.
Rap gave way to rock as Shawn White joined Miley Cyrus to present the Best Rock Video award to the Foo Fighters . Cyrus professed her love for Nirvana, Joan Jett and Aerosmith just before Grohl told the crowd to "Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there."
Pioneering punk rockers-turned-rappers-turned-multi-instrumentalists brought it all together afterward, albeit in a very different form. The "Beastie Boys from the future," as seen in the recent short film "Fight for Your Right Revisited," dance-battled Odd Future. Will Ferrell (as Mike D), Jack Black (MCA) and Seth Rogen (Ad-Rock) presented the Best Hip-Hop Video Award for "Super Bass" to Nicki Minaj, who called Lil Wayne "the best rapper alive" in her acceptance speech.
Demi Lovato helped give the Best Collaboration award to Katy Perry and Kanye West for "E.T." "Now this is the time where you want to interrupt me, Kanye," Perry joked. West called her "brave" for inviting him on the track despite the controversy that surrounded his famous VMA interruption in 2009.
Paul Rudd and Rick Ross joked about being confused for one another by the public before they introduced a crowd-rousing performance from Pitbull and Ne-Yo , who were joined by a group of burlesque-type dancers and green laser lights to rival any planetarium.
There were no pyrotechnics, laser lights, fog machines, backup dancers or anything else of the sort for the breathtaking performance from Adele, who Katy Perry introduced as "one of my favorite artists." There were no theatrics, save for the acclaimed British singer's powerful voice.
A commercial break separated the mournful pathos of Adele's intimate tune from the stupefied sexual innuendo of Beavis and Butt-Head, who teased their triumphant return to the airwaves due in late October. Nicki Minaj slapped Beavis and Butt-head's skulls together in a segment that mixed live action and animation reminiscent of when David Letterman fought the pair over a burrito at the VMAs back in 1994.
Kim Kardashian restrained herself from flirting with Justin Bieber when she handed him the Moonman for Best Male Video. His screaming fans enacted the "U Smile" title as he climbed the steps to accept. "I just want to say thank you so much not only to God but to Jesus because I wouldn't be here without him. He's really blessed me. He's put me in this position so I want to say thank you so much," he said.Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had a romantic night at the VMAs.
Chris Brown did some sharing of his own as he offered props to Wu-Tang Clan (with faux martial-arts dancing) and Nirvana (complete with flannel-shirted dancers jumping on trampolines) in the form of brief tributes during his performance of "Beautiful People." Clad in an all-white suit, Brown was backed by several dancers, lip-synching into a headset mic and flying into the air on wires.
Still in drag as her alter ego, Gaga returned to the stage to present Spears with the Vanguard Award . "When you're a struggling artist, literally starving for your dream, you gotta live off inspiration," she began. "One of my biggest inspirations was Britney Spears. Britney taught me how to be fearless."Britney Spears calls her VMA tribute "an honor."
Kanye grabbed Jay-Z by the shoulders enthusiastically after Beyoncé's performance, when she unbuttoned her sparkly blazer to reveal a baby bump. Earlier in the night, before the show, Beyoncé beat out both Britney and Gaga in the choreography category thanks to her "Run the World (Girls)" video.Beyoncé and Jay-Z celebrate their big news backstage.
Standing beside Taylor Lautner, Selena Gomez pointed out that the Best New Artist Award had previously been won by folks like Eminem, Alicia Keys, Bieber and, of course, Nirvana. Winner Tyler, the Creator was joined by his crew as he rushed the stage and began an expletive filled acceptance speech. "Yo, I'm excited as f— right now. I wanted this sh– since I was 9," he said. "I'm about to cry."
Young the Giant were also joined by friends on the VMA stage — 250 of them, to be exact. The Irvine, California, group, which counts legendary singer Morrissey among their fans, played directly to some lucky supporters and were introduced by musician/actor Jared Leto and "Avatar" star Zoe Saldana.
Microphone problems didn't stop Cloris Leachman from trading blue humor with the girls of "Jersey Shore" before they presented the award for Best Female Video to Lady Gaga. "It doesn't matter who you are — gay, straight, bi, lesbian, transgendered," Gaga, still in drag, declared. "You were born this way."
Russell Brand pointed out that Gaga is among those influenced by Winehouse. "Adele would admit her debt to Amy Winehouse," he said, as the camera cut to the singer nodding her agreement. "[Katy Perry], Florence and the Machine. … When a talent like Amy Winehouse comes along, it affects everybody."
MTV's exclusive first look at the upcoming adaptation of "The Hunger Games" preceded the award for Video of the Year, which was presented by Katie Holmes.
After smooching her husband (and former VMA host) Brand, Katy Perry went out of her way to walk over to Adele before she made it to the stage to accept the award for "Firework." "I'm very proud of the song and what it stands for. And I feel like I'm doing something right when I sing that song," she said, echoing a familiar sentiment espoused earlier by Gaga about meaning in music.
Lil Wayne closed the festivities in a white T-shirt (a very popular clothing item this year, apparently) and sunglasses after a spirited introduction by Drake. His pants looked to be of black and white leopard print, topped off with a black fedora and ketchup and mustard colored Vans sneakers. He began "How to Love" like a sensitive crooner, talking with the crowd and casually walking to a microphone stand at first.
Naturally, his shirt came off and a band emerged to the riff from Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" as Wayne jumped around screaming "yeah!" and smiling wide. Wayne made his way into the crowd where he chest bumped Rick Ross and other friends. Wayne didn't even attempt to censor any of his lyrics, eventually making his way to a guitar which he threw on the stage after strumming briefly.

(ProFootballTalk.com) -- Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon finished strong in 2012, catching 25 passes and scoring two touchdowns in the final four games of the season.
It looks like we're going to have to wait a while to find out if he
picks up where he left off. Adam Schefter of ESPN was the first to
report that Blackmon has been suspended for four games by the league for violating league policy and Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network adds that it was specifically a violation of the Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
Last June, Blackmon was arrested on DUI charges.
Blackmon led the Jaguars with 64 catches last season and that closing
flourish raised hopes that the fifth overall pick of the 2012 Draft was
going to continue developing into a top-flight receiver. Blackmon will
still be able to practice with the Jags and play in preseason games, so
this won't totally halt that progress but there's no denying that it's a
wrench in the plans for a player with two drunk driving arrests before
he signed his rookie deal with the Jags.
The Jaguars play the Chiefs, Raiders, Seahawks and Colts in the first four games of the 2013 season.
UPDATE: Justin Blackmon released the following statement via the Jaguars:
"I've made a mistake and I have no excuse. I am truly sorry and disappointed in myself for putting the Jaguars in this situation, and I look forward to putting this behind me and maturing and growing as a person. I will have a productive training camp and pre-season with my team, and during the suspension I will work hard to stay in top football shape and be ready to help the Jaguars when I return. I have chosen to be accountable for my poor decision, and I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches, the front office and Jaguars fans for the impact of my mistake on the team."
General manager David Caldwell also released the following statement via the Jaguars:
"Coach Bradley and I have spoken with Justin, and he is well aware of our disappointment. I don't think there is any question that Justin is embarrassed and remorseful, and Coach Bradley and I are both confident he understands the obligations ahead of him, to himself, the franchise and the fans. We will support him throughout the process and continue to work to educate him and all of our players on making the right decisions. The Jaguars have made a lot of progress over the past three months, and we will not allow this news to slow us down."

Wilhelm Ionhart (M, 20)
Wil sees life as a blend. This man viewed the world as it was with a little tinge of color, music, and everything else in between. He is a very complicated character because he holds courtesy and chivalry high and might above everything else. Hence, he takes into account the rationality and the emotional sensation of everything around him. He always smiles, but to other people it seems like as if he were planning a murder or perhaps something diabolical. To him, though, he is just appreciating the beauty of the world around him.
Wil was born to a wealthy family where he was pampered, taken care of, educated, and loved. But, he sought for freedom from these blissful chains by journeying into the unknown. Seeking to quench his thirst for knowledge this strong-willed man ventured on his own accord ready to face consequences. All the while, he complains about his stupidity and yet he lives on his virtue.
Quite a bit on the mad side, Wil views everything from two strict perspectives: life and death. Before every decision, he candidly asks, which bothers people because of how morbid it is, "Will you live or die after this?" Not to mention, he tops it all off with a lustful smile indicating that all of this is child's play.
Blaziken - "Flammort"
- He has adopted Wil's emotional side of the matters, channeling it through his flame techniques and battle skills. He thrives on anger because of how Wil motivates him to bring about the sweet scent of "death" upon his victims. As a result, Flammort is bent on destruction at Wil's every whim.
Gallade - "Candoir"
- Although the signature emotion pokemon as dictated by nature, he works a little differently. He represents Wil's emotionless side - cool and calculated, as the cliche goes. This classical guy focuses on the battle as a whole operatic sequence.

This 14 inch pig has plush and velour pointy ears that look big enough for flying! Buttery soft and cuddly, it has a tannish patchy body with dark grey spots, a movable mouth and a special spot that grunts when squeezed. Pig's legs are not rigid, as shown in the photo; they sort of sit softly in your lap when he's held. Perfect for dramatic play and original story telling.

We are currently migrating from an iPlanet Web/Mail/Calendar environment
to Apache+Zimbra.
In our existing environment we have been using some of our mail groups to
restrict access to certain areas of our web sites. Basically access to certain
areas was allowed only to users who authenticate against our LDAP database
and are members of certain groups.
In Zimbra, Mail Distribution Lists are not "LDAP groups". i.e. they do not have
an objectClass of groupOfUniqueNames and the members of a distribution list
are identified by their email address, not their DN.
If we wanted to set up Apache authentication (mod_authnz_ldap) against our
Zimbra LDAP directory, we would not be able to validate that the user is part
of a particular group by using "require ldap-group".
Has anybody else tried to authenticate their Apache server against Zimbra
using group membership to restrict access? Any ideas how we can do this
without defining groups twice (once as a Mailing List and once as a group of
unique names)?
Thanks for any pointers.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Spoilers: Is Mona in Season 4?
Mona (Janel Parrish) and her crazy self is one of our favorite parts of Pretty Little Liars Season 3. Of course, in Rosewood we're already worried that someone might exit the town — permanently.
Does Mona definitely survive and show up next season? And when she does, is she still in full "A" mode, or might she really reform?
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
PLL writer Joseph Dougherty recently tweeted, "Working on #PLL Season Four. The other writers seem to think Mona is crazy. I really don't know where they get that from. Certainly not me."
So it sounds like Mona will not only be featured in Season 4, but she'll still be as insane as ever.
Janel Parrish, for one, wouldn't have it any other way. She recently told us, "I've got to say, I love the crazy b**** ... It's so much fun, and I can't lie, I'm really excited to go back for Season 4 and see what other tricks she has up her sleeve. She always does."
We can't wait!
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Man arrested in connection with stolen lottery tickets
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 12:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 12:08 p.m.
A 33-year-old man was found hiding in the bathroom of his home late Sunday, reportedly with more than $2,000 in stolen lottery tickets.
Tyrone Electius Moreland said he found the lottery tickets and a container of loose change on the sidewalk near his home in the Blue Skies Estates at 2626 NE 14th St., according to Ocala Police Department reports.
Officers, however, used a K-9 to track the man accused of breaking into Ocala Bingo earlier in the night. The dog led officers to Moreland's home.
Just before 11 p.m. Sunday, OPD officers responded to an alarm at Ocala Bingo at 1601 NE 25th Ave. Once there, they found the glass in the door had been removed. Inside, a container of loose change and more than 1,000 $2 scratch-off lottery tickets were missing, reports state.
One of the officers responding to the burglary scene spotted a man walking into the Blue Skies Estates property. After the K-9 led them to Moreland's home, officers were allowed to enter the home. They immediately spotted some lottery tickets and the coins.
They soon found Moreland in the bathroom with additional lottery tickets, reports state.
He was arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail on one count each of burglary and grand theft. He was being held Monday at the jail in lieu of a $7,000 bond.
