Yeah you're good... No worries I think I may have to just let it go... It was a great price but it just isn't going to work. The BRH is another $200 and with NZ in 5 weeks the wife might use that scope on me if I keep dropping the big coinage.
Thanks for the offer and all the input!!

WASHINGTON – Just bought a new iPhone 5? Now you're looking for a service plan that won't break the bank.
Forbes offers three tips for consumers when shopping for a cellphone plan.
A Norwegian phone app that scrutinizes 12 months of cellphone bills tells users how much they could save if they picked a different plan. And initial results from the app shed some light on consumer missteps, according to Forbes.com.
Forbes' advice includes making sure you buy enough minutes. Users don't buy enough minutes to cover peak months, especially around the holidays. Using too many minutes is one of the most common reasons for overage charges, Forbes says.
In contrast, users often overestimate their data usage. Forbes suggests consumers review their usage, especially if they've been locked into the same plan for a year or two.
The increased availability of WiFi service at work, restaurants and in airports has reduced the amount of data mobile networks carry, especially for urban consumers, Forbes says.
And third, shop around. Don't be afraid to switch carriers. Other carriers likely offer the same or similar plans and discounts.

In this work, we explore the properties of the global PKI as it exists in practice. We then leverage this information to construct flexible mechanisms that allow observers to fashion individualized policies to determine certificate trust.
In our NDSS'14 paper, we describe a clustering methodology for determining the certificate issuance template of a given certificate (which is not generally available in a digital form). You can see a graphical representation of the clustering output here. In this UI, the size of graph nodes indicates the number of certificates in the corresponding cluster or tree of clusters. If you click on a leaf node, you will see the derived issuance template in the left hand pane. Leaf nodes are named with numbers corresponding to the tightness of the clusters, smaller means tighter. Drop-down menus allow users to color the graph according to various properties, such as key lifetime. You can also filter results based on specific violations of the CA/B forum guidelines.

I Need some help understanding the Daily Mail Report, specifically "Most active senders" and "Most active recipients".
We're Running Zimbra OSS 4.0.2 on CentOS 4.4. Running behind a Cable/DSL router with no open ports. Zimbra communicates to the outside Internet via "Relay MTA for external delivery" set to our ISP's mail server for out bound mail and Fetchmail setup for inbound.
I am seeing addresses with foreign domains in both Most active senders and Most active recipients.
I assume "Senders" would be Zimbra accounts sending mail and "Recipients" would be Zimbra accounts receiving mail. Am I misunderstanding these terms, or do I have an open relay situation.
Please enlighten me.

Result of interview for children under 5
Interviewer instructions
Complete this question once you have concluded the interview. Remember that the code refers to the mother or primary caretaker of the under-five child. Circle the code corresponding to the results of the interview. If the questionnaire is completed, circle '1' for 'Completed'. If you have not been able to contact the mother/primary caretaker after repeated visits, circle '2' for 'Not at home'. If the mother/primary caretaker refuses to be interviewed, circle '3' for 'Refused'. If you were able to only partly complete the questionnaire, circle '4' for 'Partly completed'. If the mother/primary caretaker is incapacitated, circle '5'. If you have not been able to complete this questionnaire for another reason, you should circle '6' for 'Other' and specify the reason in the space provided. Ask the mother/primary caretaker to collect all the birth certificates and health/ immunization cards she has for this child before you begin the interview. You will need these during the interview. Repeat greeting if not already read to this mother/primary caretaker: "WE ARE FROM (country-specific affiliation). WE ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT CONCERNED WITH FAMILY HEALTH AND EDUCATION. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS. THE INTERVIEW WILL TAKE ABOUT (number) MINUTES. ALL THE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL REMAIN STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND YOUR ANSWERS WILL NEVER BE IDENTIFIED. ALSO, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU DON'T WANT TO, AND YOU MAY WITHDRAW FROM THE INTERVIEW AT ANY TIME. MAY I START NOW?" As with similar sentences at the beginning of the Household Questionnaire and Questionnaire for Individual Women, you may change the wording of these introductory sentences as appropriate. You must make sure, however, to include the following when you are introducing yourself: The name of the implementing agency; the topic of the survey; the approximate duration of the interview; the issue of confidentiality; and with whom you would like to speak. If permission is given, begin the interview. If the respondent does not agree to continue, thank her/him and go to the next interview. Later, discuss the refusal with your supervisor; you or another person from the team may attempt to interview the respondent for a second time. This will depend on your description of the refusal. However, remember that the respondent's participation in the survey must be on a voluntary basis, and potential respondents must never be forced to participate.

Contact the Hartford HealthCare Medical Group Centers for Surgical Weight Loss at Hartford Hospital
Over 10 years Stacie Lepore of Glastonbury saw her weight spiral from 110 to 240 pounds. The 5-feet-2-inch young woman struggled to lose weight, but nothing worked. She had chronic migraines, hyperthyroidism, high cholesterol, respiratory problems and borderline diabetes. In 2005, she began researching bariatric surgery.
Concerned about complications reported at other programs, she turned to Hartford Hospital and Darren Tishler, MD. "He stressed that surgery was 'a tool, not a fix'," Mrs. Lepore says. After a rigorous six-month evaluation, she had a LAP-BAND® procedure in August 2006. It involved five tiny incisions, a one-night hospital stay and minimal pain.
Two years later, the middle-aged mother of two rises each day at 4:30 a.m. to go to the gym. She is down to 145 pounds and all of her other obesity-related illnesses are gone.
"Having this surgery was the best life change I've made. I'm healthy. I have confidence. I feel good about myself. Dr. Tishler and the staff are incredible. My husband had the procedure and he's lost 60 pounds in a year. We have a great support system in our household."
Dangers of Obesity
Obesity affects every organ system, disrupts endocrine function, weakens joints and muscles, taxes hearts and overburdens lungs. Excess weight accounts for an estimated 70 percent of the diabetes risk in the United States. Dense fatty tissue makes diagnostic X-rays difficult to read, while obese patients find it nearly impossible to squeeze into CT scanners or MRI tubes. Overweight individuals endure workplace discrimination, cruel stares and agonies of remorse about their inability to stick to a diet.
"Obesity is increasing in this country at a dramatic rate," says Kiran R. Ubriani, M.D., an endocrinologist with Connecticut Multispecialty Group. "Since obesity is such a strong risk factor for diabetes, preventing obesity may potentially avert subsequent diabetes."
When supervised dieting, exercise and behavior modification fail, weight loss surgery offers new hope for morbidly obese patients who often tip the scales at 300 pounds or more. "Weight-loss surgery can often alleviate obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol relatively quickly," says Dr. Tishler, director of
Hartford HealthCare Medical Group's Centers for Surgical Weight Loss at Hartford Hospital
. "The sooner someone has surgery after a diagnosis of diabetes, the better. Surgery may reduce the need for insulin or eliminate diabetes medications altogether."

I am currently using CentOS 4 with LDAP/postfix/dovecot/spamassassin configured for mailing service (including the LDAP for PAM). And I want to extend the server to support Calendar service and someone recommended me to have a look at Zimbra.
I am testing Zimbra in a sandbox, and found it excellent for our task. However, the installation of zimbra will replace postfix/LDAP/dovecot/spamassassin on the original system. It is ok for a sandbox but will be a quite hard work for our production server. I read the Zimbra wiki but only found instructions about using external authenication with another LDAP server. Anyway I just do not want to move the LDAP service to another server. And furthermore I want to keep the original configured services as more as possible. Especially the LDAP service will support the PAM and several other web applications, changing of this will be a nightmare for me.
I just want to ask are there any suggestions for my situation?

It's a really great way to help your kid's
That is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. Move over Fisher Price!
what a pretty teacher to boot! ;)
Oh my goodness!!! I love this. That was such a cool thing you did as a mom. That is something she will treasure telling people when she is older.
What a fabulous thing to do to help a child with school fears. And the idea to print off pictures of real bulletin boards, etc, is genius. I just love this and how much fun you are having playing with it!!
Awesome idea... One to file away for QUITE a way away in the future! (I hope!!) ;)
wonderful idea - thank you for sharing!
Oh.my.goodness!! How stinkin' cute is that!? I love it! My DD would adore this too! I just love all of the tiny little props, lol! Great job!
I just can't get over how creative you are! Great job!
This ia a fantastic idea. My oldest daighter had major anxietty going into first grade (her first full-day schooling) and nothing seemed to ease her fears. I wish I had thought of this! "Miss Poison" is hysterical!
I love it, I love it, I love it. You are so clever and this is such a wonderful idea. Kudos.
Aww, you are such an amazing and creative mama! :)
Seriously good idea!
My daughter will start kindergarten next year and while she says she's excited now, when the time actually comes, I expect her tune will change. She's very shy.
That is one impressive looking classroom that obviuosly is a fantastic learning tool and a source of so much fun.
Gasp! I would love to have one of these to play with and I'm 30. I am going to have fun making this for DD!
pg what a wonderful way to get the willies about school out! i'm visiting from the fish bowl and i'll be back often!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Two male gorillas at the National Zoo are taking part in a study that will help veterinarians better detect and treat heart disease in gorillas.
The same device used to detect early warning signs of heart disease in humans will now benefit 12-year-old Kwame and 10-year-old Kojo, who are the first western lowland gorillas to participate in the study by the Great Ape Heart Project. Heart disease is leading cause of death of male gorillas in human care.
On Feb. 2, Zoo veterinarians inserted an Implantable Loop Recorder beneath Kojo's skin and between his shoulder blades. Kwame's procedure took place on March 14. About the size of a USB drive, the ILR records electrocardiogram waves and allows animal care staff to analyze trends in the gorillas' heart rates, rhythms, strengths and timing of electrical pulses.
Kwame and Kojo are considered ideal candidates for this study; they are clinically healthy, yet the odds that they will develop heart disease later in life are high because of how common the disease is in gorillas. The Great Ape Heart Project chose them for another reason, as well: the Zoo's training program allows animal care staff to monitor an animal's health, administer medical procedures and provide preventive care without the use of anesthesia or restraints.
Kwame and Kojo willingly present their backs to keepers Amanda Bania and Becky Malinsky on cue as part of everyday training. This ensures veterinarians will be able to scan the ILR, collect data and monitor trends in the gorillas' health. The data will be shared among institutions and facilities that care for these primates. In addition, keepers will continue behavioral research projects and look for physical changes in Kwame and Kojo's health.
The notion of using ILRs in gorillas was first introduced by Dr. Ilana Kutinsky, co-director of the Great Ape Heart Project. As a cardiac electrophysiologist whose expertise lies in human medicine, she has seen ILRs save human lives.
Kutinsky attended Kojo's surgery and assisted Zoo veterinary staff. Murray and Kutinsky are two of the four scientists who have been at the forefront of gorilla heart disease for over a decade. The other doctors are Hayley Murphy and Pam Dennis.
In human care, western lowland gorillas can live to be upwards of 50 years joold. In its native tropical forests of Western and Central Africa, a gorilla's lifespan is about 35 years. Increased hunting, outbreaks of the Ebola virus and poorly regulated development projects threaten these great apes as well as their habitats. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the western lowland gorilla as critically endangered.

Book turns "Out" upside down
San Diego writer and high schoolteacher Laura Preble's new young-adult novel, "Out," turns the world as we know it upside down.
Same-sex couples are in the majority. They control government and religion and have decided, because of unwanted pregnancies and other problems, to make opposite-sex relationships illegal.
Chris Bryant, 17, falls in love with a girl just as his father, an ambitious minister, is arranging a marriage for him with a powerful older man. Following his heart could cost him his life.
Preble will be at Mysterious Galaxy on April 6 at noon. She answered questions by email.
Q: What do you hope your book makes readers think about?
A: I'm a Gay Straight Alliance adviser at West Hills High in Santee, and the mother of a son who is gay. I've had to watch while many students and people I know and love are denied the rights everyone else takes for granted. I mean, if straight people can run off to Las Vegas and get married drunk by a guy in an Elvis suit, how is that "honoring" traditional marriage?
What I want people to think about is this: sexual orientation is not a preference. It's not like choosing the color of your couch or deciding on dinner. It's like having blue eyes instead of brown, or being born Chinese instead of Swiss. What I really hope to do is to get people in the majority to feel what it would be like to be ostracized for being who they were born to be. I don't know of any straight people who "decided" to be straight. They just knew.
Q: Why do you call the characters "Parallels" and "Perpendiculars"?
A: I felt that the terms "gay" and "straight" had so much weight in our society. For the metaphor to really work, I felt that I needed to rename them so readers could look at it with a fresh eye. I also really loved the symbolism of the parallel and perpendicular signs. Parallels are the same, Perpendiculars are opposite. I imagined how the crosses in the Parallel-based churches would look: two sets of Parallel lines, but they would inevitably intersect. And then, when you shorten the word "perpendicular" you get perp, which is a derogatory term characters use in the book to tease people, much like some people today use gay slurs.
Q: Why do you have the church controlling the government?
A: My feeling is that churches have no business dictating morals to people outside their own faith, and from what I've seen, much of the woes of our culture have stemmed from religious extremists. I'm not saying religion is bad, or that people who are religious are bad. What I wanted to say is that religion can be wrongly used, and it can be a shield for people to do immoral things.
Q: In what ways did your work as a high school teacher and adviser shape the story?
A: Working in a public high school allows me to live in a character lab. I have seen and worked with kids of all walks of life: every religion, ethnicity, quirk, ability, and limit. Although I never pattern characters after my students, many of the things they say and do stick with me.
As a GSA adviser, I know the pain LGBT kids sometimes feel because they are not accepted, and it breaks my heart. When a kid can't be in a yearbook picture because their parents will kick them out of the house if they find out they're gay, it really saddens me. So, I used a lot of that emotion in the book.

"Fruity Pebbles. Pile them over fro-yo with just one sour gummy worm, and I am instantly in third grade again!"
–Kelly A., Feature Writer
"Peanut butter cups! Chocolate + peanut butter + ice cream… do I really need to say anything more? SO. GOOD."
–Chrissy M., Copywriter

–Joanna B., Editor
"Coconut, hands down. Because it's sweet, creamy, and island-inspired. Plus there are health benefits, right? Right."
–Abigail K., Editor
"Gummy worms and Oreos. Call me nostalgic, but after my first grade teacher introduced that dynamic duo to our class, there was no turning back. (And I just really loved first grade.)"
–Sarah S., Copywriter

5 Toys to Avoid This HolidayMadeline Holler
All of the toy recalls in the past few years, over things like cadmium and lead, can leave parents feeling somewhat overwhelmed when figuring out what to give kids for the holidays. I mean, those handmade wooden toys from Germany? Sure, that would be nice. But then there's the holiday budget, which would leave room for a marble run and, perhaps, one and a half silk scarves. Won't cut it!
But the LA Times has come up with a few guidelines on buying safe toys. Here are the basics, but the whole article gives you a better idea of why.
1. Avoid buying costume jewelry. Period. (My tip: mention this to the grandparents!)
2. Avoid vinyl products (labeled as PVC).
3. Don't buy brightly colored plastics when purchasing items that a young child might put in his or her mouth. (Wow. That's huge and rules out, well, a lot of items). If that leaves you hopeless, read No. 4
4. Check out items on HealthyStuff.org and GoodGuide.com. That should help you get more confidence in what you do buy.
5. When buying textile items, avoid "azo dyes."
Unfortunately, since these [azo dyes] chemicals are not regulated, the best way to avoid them is to select toys made of wood and natural products, or toys that bear eco-labels, which are becoming more widespread.
There are also the choking hazards warnings, but experts say to also look out for pieces that are just slightly bigger than regulation choking hazards.
I find avoiding choking hazards has become particularly challenging with more than one kid. Each subsequent child of mine has been exposed to gobs more choking hazards than my first and I'll admit we've become a little less stringent.
What about you? What's off your list this year for kids' presents?

Looking Back
Public Enemy hype man Flavor Flav recently authored Flavor Flav: The Icon, The Memoir, a conversationally written, often humorous look back on his life in hip hop and on reality television. Flav takes readers back to the early days of his music career, answering many interesting questions such as:
How'd he get his moniker? (He has a sweet tooth.)
Where did the idea of the clock come from? (It started out as a dare.)
Just how important was Flav to Public Enemy? (They almost refused to sign a contract when Def Jam questioned his role in the group.)
He goes on to describe Public Enemy's rise to fame and his subsequent drug problems. Along the way, he shares many anecdotes and personal revelations. It's a quick read, and worth the time for any hip hop fan.
Chef Flavor Flav's Recipes
At the very end of the book, Flavor Flav shares some of his recipes. I'd heard about Flav's Fried Chicken, his short-lived restaurant in Iowa. So I was curious to try out the recipes in his book.
Flavor Flav's Famous recipes include: pepper steak, cheddar and penne, chicken cacciatore, and Mamma Mia (pasta) sauce. I went with the cacciatore recipe. It was simple enough, taking less than an hour to make and very, well, flavorful. It contained a good balance of fresh vegetables and tasty chicken. Serve it up on some pasta and you've got a pretty good meal.

College Park, MD (Sports Network) - P.J. Hairston and Reggie Bullock combined for 41 points, powering the North Carolina Tar Heels to a 79-68 road win over the Maryland Terrapins in ACC action at the Comcast Center on Wednesday night.
Bullock netted 19 points and completed a double-double with 12 rebounds, as he shot 6-of-8 from the field, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range for the Tar Heels (22-8, 12-5 ACC). Hairston led all scorers with 22 points, while also grabbing eight rebounds. James Michael McAdoo rounded out the top scorers for UNC with 10 points, as the Heels won their sixth-straight game and clinched a first round bye in the ACC Tournament.
The Terrapins (20-10, 8-9) were led by Dez Wells, who finished with 18 points and six rebounds to go with three steals and two blocks. Nick Faust managed 16 points off the bench, while shooting 6-of-10 from the field. Maryland has lost four of its last seven games and has not won consecutive bouts since early February.
After holding the Terps to 37.5 percent shooting from the field and 2-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc in the first half, UNC led 34-27 at halftime.
Maryland's long-distance shooting woes continued in the second half, making just 1-of-9 shots from 3-point range as the Terps were outscored, 45-41. North Carolina's lead ballooned to 16 points at the 12:47 mark of the second half, before the Tar Heels settled in for the 11-point win.

Jefferson County seeks upgrade of financial software
Jun 25, 2013 (Watertown Daily Times - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The Jefferson County Board of Legislators Finance and Rules Committee is set to vote on a resolution today that would authorize the spending of nearly $1 million to replace the county's 15-year-old financial software, which officials called "antiquated." "The system we have now has been outdated for some time and we've known we've had to make this decision," said Legislator Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing, a member of the board's information technology ad-hoc committee.
The committee, which also includes Legislators Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown, and Robert D. Ferris, R-Watertown, selected "Munis," a $962,497 suite of products from Dallas-based Tyler Technology, after soliciting staff input and reviewing several options over a two-year period.
The Munis software would replace the New World Systems financial management system that was installed in 1998.
"After 15 years of use, both the hardware and the financial management software is showing its age, and is frankly antiquated," the ad-hoc committee wrote in its assessment of the old software. "The current software is DOS-based and lacks many of today's standard features like drop down menus, integration with Microsoft Word and Excel, the ability to communicate via email within the system and share documents, web access, report design, and workflows rules." The county would also purchase a $29,750 state Civil Service auditing package from a separate vendor: Catalog and Commerce Solutions LLC, based in Pittsford, a Rochester suburb.
The county will also spend $250,000 for a new mainframe computer, using $500,000 in a capital account for that purchase and putting the remaining $250,000 toward the software purchases. The total cost for hardware and software will be $1.24 million, all of which is already appropriated, said Legislator Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown, the Finance and Rules Committee's chairman.
A $120,119 annual maintenance fee for the Munis software would begin a year after the initial purchase.
The upgrades will also ensure the system stays up to date with the newest, most innovative software, according to Mr. Ferris.
"This will give us the support we need for the future," he said.
The maintenance fee may also help guard against a major flaw in the old system.
Because the New World software was relatively unsophisticated compared to systems available today, several in-house customized programs were designed to accommodate the county's needs.
These customized programs made it difficult and expensive to execute vendor-offered upgrades, according to the ad-hoc committee's executive summary.
Though the project may impart sticker shock on taxpayers accustomed to consumer software, legislators believe the cost is warranted given the upgrade's scope.
"It's a major purchase. It's the backbone of our whole system," Mr. Gray said. "This program is countywide. Every department will interact with this program. When you're talking about an organization this big, software doesn't come cheap." The software implementation is projected to take a year and a half to two years, according to Mr. Gray.
"Conversion itself is going to be extremely labor-intensive and that's a component of the price," Mr. Gray said.
Representatives from five other counties have recommended the Munis product suite, according to County Treasurer Karen M. Christie, who has been involved in the software selection.
Ms. Christie said she is looking forward to the new system's improved accessibility and versatility as well as the ability to create customized reports.
Ms. Christie and Jefferson County Technology Director Gregory C. Hudson are scheduled to give a brief presentation about the proposal to the Finance and Rules Committee today, according to Mr. Gray.
If the committee recommends the purchase, the entire board must approve it before it takes effect.

The University of St. Thomas basketball programs and the African American Student Union completed its first annual Thanksgiving Food Drive on Nov. 21. The groups teamed up to provide approximately 172 meals to the Houston Food Bank.
"With this being our first food drive, we weren't really sure what to expect," said Women's Basketball Head Coach Mike Ricks. "We're thrilled that we were able to contribute to a great cause and a great organization. Now that we have one under our belt, we will set the bar even higher next Thanksgiving."
The weeklong drive began at the men's and women's basketball games against Red River Athletic Conference opponent Jarvis Christian College on Nov. 12. Canned goods and other donations were provided by UST students, faculty, staff and game attendees. All proceeds were donated to the Food Bank.

Mr Wrobel! Your designs are awesomesause, gonna order myself a couple of things. But first I'm wondering, most of the other GoT-characters are smoothed at the bottom on the t-shirt/tank top prints, except for this one. Will it be done?
cool !
I was really interested in getting this on a tote bag, which you used to have in your shop but don't anymore. Will it be back up in the near future?
@Katie: Actually i didn't set anything for the tote bag, it was an issue with the website, it automatically set the pictures in wrong size (picture larger than the tote bag) so i deleted it manually. But yeah i will make it available soon! ^_^
love it
my favorite cast of the Game of Thrones, Jon Snow a.k.a Kit Harrington. You have wonderful work, I love it!
Just like Katie, i really want tote bag with Jon since few months :( Will it be available to purchase?
Brilliant colours!
I love your style.

@Hugo, Non les mesures sont en inches ^_-
Nice work~
really loving this series of your work. you really captured the soul of each character in a modern, real-world sense. kudos and step right up to the iron throne, cuz it belongs to you now. :)
This series is AMAZING. You are such an great artist. Keep the work coming!
Thank you so much for the support guys, i am just so glad!
Promoted and followed with pleasure!
As far as crossovers go, this is really the best mix of both worlds! You've taken the characters and put them in a world not so dissimilar to their own but with an almost fresh identity, which upon reflection, makes us realize that it's actually the same.
great artwork
Please make this available as a tote bag! Bloody brilliant!
nice work! promoted and followed
I love it!♥
awesome!!!! *W* tote bag please! :)
The idea with the print on the shirt is so cool
This whole idea is cool as hell. I'm definitely keeping an eye on your work

Very nice. Whole collection is awesome!
Do you know what the best part of my day is? The ten seconds before I click on this page 'cause I let myself think I might get there, and this great Jon Snow design will be available as a tote bag. I'd click on the page and it would be there. Instant buy.
@Bob Harris: Done! Sorry it took forever! ^_^
@Mike: I knew constant nagging and a movie quote would help. Bought as promised and looking forward to get it. Cheers
Amazing work! Keep it up :)
Your illustrations are incredible!! I love the mostly monochrome palette.

Cardinals gutted out on Wednesday night is the kind that can really shift
momentum for a team.
The Cards hope that is the case on Thursday night as they look to split a
four-game series with the Cincinnati Reds in the final regular season meeting
between the two NL wild card holders.
Outscored 8-2 in losing the first two games of this set, the Cardinals saw
Matt Adams homer twice in extra innings, his second coming in the 16th inning
for a 5-4 win.
Adams, who came into the game when Allen Craig injured his left foot running
the bases in the fourth inning, hit his first home run to lead off the 14th,
but the Reds countered with a run in the bottom of the frame. Billy Hamilton
entered the game as a pinch-runner for the second time in as many nights to
begin his career and stole his second base. Zack Cozart then followed with a
single to plate the speedster from second base.
Adams, though, came through again with a one-out solo homer off Logan Ondrusek
in the 16th and Carlos Martinez finished off the Reds in order to finish off
his second inning of relief.
"That's just a character win, guys just grinding, not giving up and not giving
in," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Everybody did their part. Those
wins you won't forget."
St. Louis won for just the second time in seven games, but moved within a game
of Pittsburgh for first place in the NL Central. The Pirates are off on
Thursday before coming to St. Louis for a three-game set this weekend.
Brandon Phillips homered and drove in his career-high 100th run of the season
in defeat. He became the first Reds second baseman since Joe Morgan in 1976 to
have at least 100 RBI.
"It's awesome. It's something I never thought I could do ... but it's all
about winning right now," said Phillips. "We really needed that 'W.'"
Cincinnati fell 2 1/2 games behind St. Louis in the standings but is still 6
1/2 games up in the wild card race. The Reds had won three straight over the
Cardinals for the first time since last season and trail in the season series
They have not won a series over the Cards since a three-game sweep at home
from July 13-15, 2012.
The Reds won't have to face Craig, who is hitting .315 this season and is
third in the NL with 97 RBI. He was scheduled to return to St. Louis for an
MRI on his foot.
That leaves St. Louis without one of its top offensive producers and the club
turns to Lance Lynn on the mound tonight.
Lynn is 13-9 with a 4.29 earned run average in 28 starts this season, but has
lost each of his last three outings and four decisions in a row overall.
The right-hander dropped a 7-1 outcome to Pittsburgh on Saturday, matching a
season high by allowing seven runs over four innings of work.
"They hit a couple balls really hard against Lynn today," said Matheny. "This
was not what he was looking for when he went out there today."
Lynn, 26, has not won since a victory in Cincinnati on Aug. 4, when he struck
out a season-high 11 batters over eight innings of two-run ball. He is a
perfect 3-0 in four starts against the Reds this year with a 2.67 ERA and 32
strikeouts over 27 innings.
Tony Cingrani will make his first start tonight for the Reds since Aug. 20,
when he lasted 3 2/3 innings of a loss at Arizona due to a strained lower
back. The lefty was able to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday with
no issues, though Greg Reynolds will be available in relief should Cingrani
not be able to pitch deep into the game.
Reynolds had taken the rotation spot of the injured Cingrani, who is 6-3 with
a 2.76 ERA in 21 games (16 starts) this season.
The 24-year-old has faced the Cardinals just once this season and claimed an
8-3 win on Aug. 3. He allowed three runs on five innings, working around four
hits and five walks while fanning seven.

A prescription drug benefit plan is being finalized in the U.S. House of Representatives, that supporters say would modernize Medicare.
Congressman Chip Pickering, a member of the health subcommittee, said the plan would reduce the cost of medications for senior citizens to the $2 to $5 range.
"This is an historic step to create a prescription drug benefit as part of Medicare," said Pickering. "It increases the choice you have within Medicare or with a private plan. It will on average ,even over the 20,000 number, reduce prescription drug costs by about 30 percent for our seniors."
Congressman Ronnie Shows supports a democratic proposal to lower the cost of prescription drugs across the board and allow voluntary prescription coverage for Medicare patients, for a $25 monthly premium.

Anyone had any experience with this?
I've been digging through the forums but with no success. I guess what I am wondering is will the following work:
1. dump users/pass out of openldap manually and import into new machine.
2. tar up the data from mysql (removing bin logs and such), scp over to the new machine and start it up.
Anything else?
Could I perhaps configure openldap to mirror the original machine, let it sync up, and then do the same with mysql? Not sure if openldap has this functionality - obviously mysql does, esp. since the bin-logs are available...

Building a program is what Ben Bradley is focused on.
"Right now, we are working to build a quality work ethic," the first-year coach of the Rifle High School cross country team said. "The expectations we have are based on the fact this is a vastly improved program, and our goals extend far beyond times or meet finishes."
Granted, Bradley admits those are also important. The consensus of the team, however, is their overall commitment level will show how much the Bears have improved from last year's lower-tier finish at last year's district meet.
This year's Bears team will feature a few athletes who qualified for the Class 3A State Championships a year ago. While Rifle will move up to 4A this season, Bradley is confident his team will still compete and improve.
Part of that will come from senior Jake Statler, who returns from a state-qualifying season a year ago. Also returning is junior Jake Coombs, who improved in the 1,600- and 3,200-meters during the spring track and field season.
A pair of sophomores, Brendan Wagler and Colby Rennie, will also return. They'll be joined by a pair of newcomers in junior Erik Mendez and senior Kai Steinwinder.
On the girls side, sophomore Kelly Coombs will be the top returnee. Bradley said he also expects good things from sophomore Brenda DeLorea and senior Joey Kuheim, who placed at state in the throwing events.
Rifle begins its season on Aug. 31 with a meet in Delta. The Bears will host their annual cross country meet on Oct. 11 at Rifle Creek Golf Course.

Leadership Sumter County met Thursday to discuss economic development, and what the area needs to do to better educate its work force.
Representatives of JVC and Mercedes, which have operations in Tuscaloosa County, spoke about what employers need from their workers.
"We will be having 2,000 new jobs ourselves over the next two to three years," said Austin Dare, media representative for Mercedes-Benz. "Our suppliers who are locating in the Tuscaloosa and surrounding areas also will be expanding as we expand. And there could also be additional suppliers who move into the area. So there will be a lot of jobs in the automotive sector coming to west Alabama."
Sumter County is among Alabama's poorest counties. Leadership Sumter County hopes to find a way to train and educate its workforce more effectively, which could lead to more and better-paying jobs.

Alex Williams at ReadWriteEnterprise recently blogged about observing a 2-year timelag between consumer and enterprise uses for new social networking tools. I won't comment on his thesis, but will specifically talk about the example he used: Foursquare.
I'm not sure what will be net new about a Forsquare service for Enterprise, as -- as others have already indicated above -- both the "check-in" and "live tracking", enabled by GPS, rich presence, and microblogging, have been around in one form or another for at least a decade. Just one example: when I log into my Sametime, it automatically picks up my (IP) location, device, and links to my Lotus Connections micro-blogging status to provide additional context and location awareness:
What does this have to do with Unified Communications? As our General Manager spoke about at VoiceCon (link to Keynote video), and as the rebranding of VoiceCon to Enterprise Connect attests, UC is increasingly part of a broader collaboration strategy. There's increasing bleed-over between traditionally siloed collaboration of voice, video and data. This is just another example where this has already been happening for some time, even if took a hot little startup to grab people's attention.

Halloween or All Saints Eve: Was originally celebrated in May. The festival was then shifted to the eve of November by Pope Gregory III. The Druids celebrated the death of the old year on October 31 (their new year began on November 1st) lighting bonfires to help the sun through the dark days of winter.
We've been lucky lately on Halloween. Last year we were lucky with a breezy and mild day. In 2009 it was mild with just a few showers in the afternoon but was dry for trick or treating. In 2008, Halloween was bright and brisk. In fact it hasn't rained on Halloween since 2002 when highs held in the mid to upper forties with an ice storm in Garrett County. Last year we were cool and dry with highs only in the fifties.
Well it looks like we'll keep our streak alive with another great night for trick or treating. Temperatures will be in the sixties. That is close to average daytime high for this time of year. There is a slight chance of a shower for you trick or treaters who stay out late and for you north and west of Town. The sunset is 6:09 PM on Halloween night. Please remember to wear reflective tape so the drivers can see you. Bring a flashlight; that helps the drivers see you and help you see where you are walking. It's also best to travel in groups. Don't eat any candy until Mom or Dad has inspected it when you are done trick or treating and you return home. If the kids can't wait then send some of your candy with them before they begin trick or treating.
Full moons and Halloween: It is a rare occurrence when a full moon coincides with Halloween. There was a full moon on Halloween back in 1925, 1944 and 1955. The next one...2058.

I am willing to bet the farm that with all the knowledgeable people on the forum you will find the answers you are seeking.
Hi all, new to the Eastman's forum here. Just a quick intro from a south FLA boy as I wanted to join up as a source for more western tips from the great forum members here. Have not been out west for a couple years now but want to get back on the horse maybe starting this fall? As far as western background, I have hunted Montana four years, two up by Augusta and two by Avon and two years in New Mexico, one year in the Gila and one for Antelope in the NE part of the state. Also hit NW Texas one year as well as three years of Nebraska turkey hunts. Looking to expand the next few years out west and looking for a 300"+ Elk, my first moose hunt, first Bear etc. Also looking into my first Iowa hunt and will start trying to apply there as well as trying to figure out all the tag issues again for the other states. Well, guess thats it and look forward to sharing and learning here on Eastman's!
I am willing to bet the farm that with all the knowledgeable people on the forum you will find the answers you are seeking.

Welcome FLAN!
Welcome. I vacation in FL every year. My folks live by New Symera Beach so we visit as much as we can. Hope to take in a gator and pig hunt there soon.
Welcome aboard. 74 and sunny doesnt sound too bad!
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Its always sunny and 70 in Wyoming. 70 MPH winds!
FLANATIVE, You just don't like to hunt? Give it time, it will grow on you. Just kidding of course, welcome. Utah, NM, and Colorado is how I would look for elk. As for bear, the Jicarilla is a sure bet, dogs in the morning, stand in the evening. Idaho could be good and so would be spot and stalk in Mt. You could do that on your own, hiking old logging roads.
Will you use outfitter?
Welcome. Used to travel to Fla for work quite a bit. Mostly on the Shuttle & Apollo....but thats another story and life.
