Campus tilting
Q&A | A providential job placement brings together Eric Teetsel's passion for student life and economics
"Campus tilting" Continued...
Here's a special interview for graduating students worried about jobs, and for parents who want to know what their children often learn in college. Eric Teetsel, 28, grew up in a military family and became used to moving around. After managing the Values and Capitalism program at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington, D.C., he has just taken a new position as executive director of the Manhattan Declaration, a project designed to bring together Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians in support of life, marriage, and religious freedom.
Three years ago you were an academic adviser at Colorado Christian University and thinking that you could some day become a dean of students-but you were open to a change. My experiences as an Army brat taught me that God is sovereign. He really is in control. I hated moving, leaving my friends, and being uprooted. Every time I moved I hated it more. It took 10 or 12 instances of that occurring before I realized there's always a newer, better opportunity that God has in store for me.
So how did the opportunity to go to Washington come about? I got a call out of the blue from a friend about a think tank in D.C. that was looking to hire someone to reach evangelical college students with programming about free markets. I laughed and said I am in no way qualified to do that, and what's a think tank? I applied just as a favor.
Then an AEI person called you? I was blunt and free with the person on the other end of the phone. I said, "Look I don't know who you are and I don't know anything about economics, but if you're looking for someone who knows Christian higher education, I can do that piece." I got a second interview. They flew me out.
Freedom in job interviews is another word for nothing left to lose. Absolutely. I had no shot at getting this. I couldn't believe they were still talking to me. I didn't really want it. I loved Colorado. All my friends were there. I could ski. I ended up getting an offer in about three weeks. All the experiences of moving had taught me that I needed to be aware of the moments when God is directing your life.
Before we talk about the past three years, let's fill in some of your background. You were a high-school Republican? I was fervently pro-life: That was a huge part of it. I had no comprehension of economics or free enterprise. Social issues were compelling my conservatism at that point.
You went to a Christian college. I experienced what most students who go to Christian colleges experience in terms of having their assumptions challenged by professors. I remember going home after my freshman year and arguing with my mom about whether evolution was true because I had taken freshman biology and suddenly my views were radically different. I remember my mom crying.
What did you learn about evolution in your freshman biology class? That our understanding of something like the first two chapters of Genesis doesn't necessarily have to be literal. It was the most vague sort of biblical hermeneutics.
Last year you wrote in one column, "The preponderance of liberalism throughout the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities would shock and anger the majority of parents who send their children to these schools." What's an example of that? I'm in a class about how to work with students who are struggling with sexual identity issues. I went expecting to learn strategies and techniques for compassionate shepherding of a student in a situation like that. Instead, our lecturer said the real problem is Christians who tell students facing these issues that homosexuality is wrong. If we would just embrace it there would be no problem.
I suspect you disagreed. He went on for a while. Finally I raised my hand and, as respectfully as I could, said, "Sir, wouldn't you agree that there's a whole theology of human sexuality that goes from Genesis straight through based on a heterosexual model?" He said, "No, I wouldn't agree, and I'm going to invite you to stop speaking now for your own good." I was shocked. I thought we were in class to engage in conversation.
Since you have managed the Values and Capitalism project, I'll ask: What did you learn about market systems during your seven years as an undergraduate and graduate student? In one course my professor of economics said, as an aside, "I am a capitalist and I will never apologize for that and neither should you." That was the only time in seven years of Christian education I heard anything like that. But professors of communication or theology freely opined on economics from a decidedly leftward-leaning position.
You started doing more reading while you were working at Colorado Christian. It was the first time I was exposed to the idea that I could and should be an advocate for the free market because of my Christian convictions. Reading Michael Novak's The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism for the first time, I asked, "How is it possible no one ever said that to me?"
Which people do students at Christian college often hear? Guys like Shane Claiborne, Donald Miller, Jim Wallis come to speak at campuses.
What obstacles do conservative Christians face in communicating a different understanding? While there is an approach to conservatism that deals with the issues society faces in a humane way, we're not known for caring about people, even though our policies do. Meanwhile, the policies the left promotes do not help poor people. We need to make the moral case for budget reform based on the understanding that we should take care of the least among us. We need to show how continuing to spend on programs like Medicare and Medicaid without regard to the long-term implications is in no way beneficial to the poor.
And now you're moving on to a new position that has you staying in Washington and directing the Manhattan Declaration movement. How did that transition happen? I heard about the position and talked with folks. It moved very quickly-a month from initial contact to hiring. I saw on manhattandeclaration.org that the declaration itself now has about 525,000 signatures.
Many people understand one of the lasting lessons that I'll take away from AEI: The family is the cornerstone of society. Broken families have dire economic consequences, and-to start at the beginning-life and marriage are at the core of human thriving.

Since the re-design of Google Reader went live two days ago, I have not received a single additional "Recommended Items" entry. The list is still populated with the items that were present immediately before the re-design, but no new items have been added since. This happens across three accounts that I keep.
Have the recommendation features been discontinued? Is it a bug in the new design that affect everyone? Is it just me?
I always considered the endless "Recommended Items" one of my favorite features, it would be a shame if it went away.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Season 4 Spoiler: Is O'Brien Going to Die?
It's been months since we learned Siobhan Finneran (aka the devious Sarah O'Brien) is leaving Downton Abbey, but how will the lady's maid we love to hate make her exit?
Well, we can probably rule out the two options that played out during Season 3. O'Brien doesn't exactly seem the man-catchin' type, making a repeat of Lady Sybil's death by childbirth unlikely, and we doubt the prim and proper maid would ever drive as carelessly as Matthew Crawley (never forget).
What's more likely is O'Brien gets a new job.
"O'Brien is very much alive," Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes told Vanity Fair about the upcoming season. "Her departure could be explained in that she simply got a new position."
Our guess is the gig's with that nice crop of Scottish cousins we met during last season's Christmas special and who were heading to India. The cross-continental move may seem an odd choice for the typically unadventurous O'Brien, but now that her soapy secret's gotten out (thank you, Thomas) it makes sense she'd want to get as far away from Downton as possible.
Supposedly, Downton's producers want to keep the door open for a potential return though there's already talks about who will fill O'Brien's boxy black shoes.
"O'Brien's replacement is quite interesting because Thomas has brought her in without a reference," said Rob James-Collier, who plays under-butler Thomas. "He, obviously, has some kind of hold on her, but what that is, who knows? He is using her, manipulating her with the secret he has on her to feed back to him the stories and goings on from upstairs so he can use it to his advantage."
Consider us intrigued.

Mr. Chairman, I commend you on convening this hearing. If much remains unclear about the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, we can already conclude that it marks a major concern in East-West relations and relations between Russia and her neighbors.
"If much remains unclear about the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, we can already conclude that it marks a major concern in East-West relations and relations between Russia and her neighbors.
Most of the world has rightly condemned Moscow's policies. But they appear to have brought political dividends at home, where Russia's military victory has been greeted by public approval, accentuated by outbursts of xenophobic bluster. This speaks volumes about the effectiveness of state control of the media, which the Kremlin has inexorably implemented since 2000.
In that connection, let me note one implication of this war which has received too little attention. Since 2000, the Russian state has relentlessly whittled away Georgian society's freedom of expression and ability to maneuver politically. We now see aggressiveness abroad accompanying repression at home. It also is a real possibility that Moscow's recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia will stimulate other non-Russian peoples inside the Federation to campaign for independence, causing Moscow to possibly resort to a harder line. This could further erode chances for Russia's democratization, in which we all have a powerful stake.
President Medvedev says Moscow is not afraid of anything, including a new Cold War. I sincerely hope that is not where we are heading. But the next U.S. president, whoever he is, will certainly face a much more truculent Russia than his two predecessors.
This hearing offers us the opportunity to look at ways that we can constructively engage Russia making it clear that its military actions cannot be condoned.

This system is a piece of crap. It has been nothing been but trouble!
For the past two days I've been unable to log in because not even the Lycos mail homepage won't load. It tries and tries and eventually returns a 500 error. Some upgrade . . . I want my old Lycos mail back! Not only does Zimbra not work, it screwed up my inbox and tagged 218 emails as unread even though most of them are years old. I'm not about to page through dozens of pages of emails to click them so this idiotic system thinks they're read.
Is there any way to opt out of this substandard system? I can't be locked out of my email by a nonfunctioning email program . . .

More bad news for the MIA Maria Sharapova.
The 3-time Grand Slammer, who's been forced out of action since last August with a balky right shoulder, has withdrawn from next week's Paris Open and Dubai the following week after failing to fully recover, tournament officials confirmed.
This announcement is murky at best but it could mean a few things: either her shoulder is still tender from surgery, her overall competitive fitness still needs a lot of work, or, worst case scenario, it's been reinjured.
In any case, the Shrieka camp must be seriously worried about her long-term prospects considering this is her dominant side.
The WTA Tour desperately needs her back in the fold so this is very troubling news.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Shrieka finally released a statement about the withdrawal via her website -
I'm very disappointed to be unable to compete in the upcoming Open GDF SUEZ and Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships, both of which are great events that I was very much hoping to be able to play. My shoulder continues to improve every day and I am working very hard on the practice court. I'm looking forward to being back on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour very soon.(image via Getty)

(UPDATED) THE LOW DOWN: Shrieka withdraws from Paris + Dubai, officials cite "failure to fully recover" from shoulder injury
More bad news for the MIA Maria Sharapova.
12 comments:
I don't like her, but that's awful news for her. I keep wondering why she didn't go to that surgeon in Alabama that all the professional athletes go to (can't think of his name right now.) Well, ifs and buts, right? I hope she's able to heal and fully recover somehow.ReplyDelete
There has been a lot speculation on tennisforum about this already and a lot of people agree, that she probably didn't really intend to play there since she decided to drop out of the OZ Open.ReplyDelete
Really, it wouldn't make all that much sense for her to fly all the way over to France just to test out her form and possibly suffer an early exit. Instead she's probably waiting until the big tourneys Indian Wells and Miami, tournaments where she's always felt comfortable, to stage her comeback.
But what is really strange about this whole thing is that there is absolutely nothing coming from her camp.
The Paris Open has been hyping the sh!t out of the claim that she would come back next week ($$$), but Maria (her camp) never really confirmed it and now that she withdrew again there is nothing from her camp. Sound somewhat fishy to me...
But all this aside I have to say the tour is desperately needing her right now!
Just today I read that Safina has a 75%-80% chance to get the No.1 ranking in the next few months and then again we would have a Slam-less top player who everybody is gonna bash.
After Justine, Maria, Ana, Jelena & Serena that would be the 6th No.1 within little less than a year!
I had read that post on the tennisforum but I hadn't seen anything "official" on her website which is a daily read of course nor from a major news outlet.ReplyDelete
I guess it could make sense she didn't want to fly all the way over there for those smaller tourneys because she might run into a top baller sooner than at Indian Wells + Miami with much bigger draws.
Looking at her 2008 sched, she didn't play Paris but won in Doha, played Indian Wells (semis) but skipped Miami. Maybe it'll all balance out for her in any case.

like maja, i think maria is just waiting for the right time (tournament) to stage her comeback. but i really worry about this injury, hopefully it doesn't end her career. this shoulder injury happened when she was about, imo, to reach the peak of her performance. it must've been frustrating for her.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 4, 2009 at 5:10 PM
I wonder if she's going to fully recover from this. I know she'll come back but will she still compete at the same level? A lot of players never fully come back from major injuries.ReplyDelete
- SideSpinFebruary 4, 2009 at 6:06 PM
ok i'm really worried about her. She's my favorite wta baller(after the Williams sisters of cos).ReplyDelete
WTA needs her really bad.I mean who wouldn't miss matches between Sharapova and the WS..high in drama and of cos quality. The only worthy players left in the absence of Justine.
Come back Maria. We miss ya :-(
anon 7:32 - because what you're doing is called spamming...it has nothing to do with the post and you're just putting links to promote that site.ReplyDelete
you can't promote on other blogs without the permission of the person who writes them.
- Isa(belle)February 4, 2009 at 9:08 PM
wta needs maria, we need maria... I hope she will be back soon. Like my son said when watching the AUS O. : without maria there is less drama, less fun, less attitude and less nike but especially less beautiful tennis.ReplyDelete
maybe some good news from little belgium for the wta : Kim & Justine are getting fit again. They will play some exhibition matches in the next months in Belgium. They told the belgian media that they don't plan a WTA comeback but we never know...
This is vey worrying. Hopefully she can recover from this. I agree with the other posters, the WTA needs her.ReplyDelete
She and the Williams sisters are the only possible dominators left on the tour since Justine retired.
Get well soon Masha!

President Barack Obama is joking about a radical second-term shakeup, shifting from "strapping young Muslim Socialist" to retiree golfer and sporting bangs like first lady Michelle's.
Obama used this year's annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner to poke fun at himself and some of his political adversaries, asking if it was still possible to be brought down a peg after 4 1/2 years as commander-in-chief.
Obama entered to rap music but then showed a picture of himself golfing on a mock magazine cover of "Senior Leisure." He noted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting performance at the White House Easter Egg hunt.
The president closed by noting the nation's recent tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas.

Instead of painting the town red, Dylan Henley is painting the trailer pink. (To raise money for mammograms.)
Randleman -- Dylan Henley, a high school senior, needed an idea for his senior project. And you might say watching blue paint dry, sparked his idea.
A family friend had been making and selling blue trailers. Henley decided to also build one and paint it pink to raise money for mammograms.
His inspiration came from his aunt who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993. She won her battle and now her nephew is carrying on the fight against the disease.
All the money will go to the Randolph Hospital Mammogram Fund. He has already put more than $1,000 into the trailer and has decided not to be reimbursed for his expenses. If you buy a ticket, every penny will go toward mammograms.
He is currently selling $5 raffle tickets. There will be a drawing at 1:00 on Sunday, January 29. If you would like a chance to win, Henley will be at Tractor Supply in Asheboro on Saturday, January 14 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
If you would like more information, you can send him an e-mail at email@example.com or call (336) 498-7289.

I have a zimbra (open source) 4.0.2 on a FC5 box (old machine).
Just purchased a new beef server, and had RHEL 4 on it.
What's the best way to "move" the zimbra from old machine to the new server?
I am also thinking of upgrading to the latest 4.5.2 (open source). Can I just install the 4.5.2 on the new server, and somehow dump all the data (mysql, ldap, data files) and import to the new server?

Ratings for Dr. Lewis A. Osofsky
Dr. Osofsky saw our new born daughter 28 year ago then our 18 year old son. Dr. Osofsky is a very caring Human Being. Has a heart and treats his patients as his children. Many time he's been available after hours and over the weekends and gave good advise, what to expect and clear instructions. There's at least one woman in his front office that is very dry! No emotions and almost robotic. Although I believe she means well and just has a lot to do. I honestly believe that since Dr. O is so unusual, that's why this one person in his front office does not look as good. Anyone looking for a new children's doctor; search no more! your child will be in good hands and will be cared for my Dr. O. and Oh; as far as the front office lady who does the billing; I'm sure she's nice too!
Twenty years ago, when I was pregnant and working at Los Gatos Community Hospital, I polled the nurses and other docs to see who they would recommend--it was Osofsky hands down. As new parents, we were sometimes put off by the "offhand" way he treated us--as if our child were only one of hundreds and not the one in a million precious being he obviously was (ha!--new parents!) but the truth is he is one of the smartest and most intuitive physicians I've ever met--and now at nineteen, our son still goes in for periodic checkups when he is home from college. He is the best.
This doctor's receptionist is really unpleasant, unfriendly and unhelpful when you call. The doctor, however, is knowledgeable, caring and has great flexible office hours. He is definitely NOT out to be your best friend - his manner can sometimes be gruff and off-hand and I can see that especially to a small child, he could be intimidating (he's well over 6 ft.) On the plus side, his nurses do have great follow-through, he responds almost immediately to after-hours calls and I feel he is genuinely caring - which is why we have stuck with him for years.
Dr. O. is not out to be your best friend, but he is a great advocate for children. He is friendly, but not chummy. I find the appointments to be convenient and prompt. He recognized a really weird blood disorder in my newborn, and sent us up to Stanford with full instructions of how to navigate that system. (She's fine.) We've been seen on all days of the week, at all times of day. We've come in for ear infections, burns, bronchitis, pink eye, possible broken bones, preventative care, and more. (3 children) We've even called for advice while on vacation. The doctor is practical, reliable, and thorough.
He is a great doctor. I had to page him at 3 am and he called back in just few minutes and told us what to do. He has Saturday morning appointments and in emergency will open his office for you. His wife is the nurse there with over 16 years of experience and 4! kids of their own. She will answer any questions you might have.
Dr O is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. He will do whatever he needs to do to help his patients.
Dr is indifferent with children. Front staff has a lot to be desired in the area of customer service.

It may have been known as "the gay 90s," but the last decade of the 19th century was far from carefree for many Americans....
Wheeling was very different in Mr. Ogden's day. It was a place of growth and opportunity. During my great grand fathers residence-1848 to 1908- the City grew 15 fold. Wheeling has now regressed to about 1870 levels. Who has been in charge? Who has influence City policy? Where has the NR been in all of this decline? Where is it now? Tens of millions in Byrd job development money has been squandered with negative results. Where is the NR?

It'd be interesting to find a journalism student at Wheeling Park or one of the local colleges who'd be interested in doing a study as part of their coursework, where they'd go back through the past few years of News Register "reporting" and calculate the amount of positive vs. negative stories that have been written about the republicans vs. democrats. I think we all know what the outcome would be, but it'd be interesting to see the hard numbers on paper.

Woman is charged with financial forgery, more
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 2:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 2:19 p.m.
OCALA - Marion County Sheriff's Office detectives charged a Silver Springs Shores woman Wednesday with financial forgery, uttering a forged instrument and criminal use of personal identification.
Detectives Brandon Spillman and Stephen Osborne met with Shantera S. Richards, 24, outside the Marion County Judicial Center, where she admitted cashing stolen checks at two banks.
The officials had received information from a Georgia detective about some auto burglary cases where checks had been stolen. He told them at least two people who were the victims of the burglaries had their checks cashed in Marion County.
Osborne and Spillman were given photos of Richards cashing several stolen checks at a local bank.
Richards told the detectives that when her bank account was depleted, she would deposit checks into an ATM machine after hours so it would show her account was current. She would then go to another ATM machine and withdraw money before the check posted. She said she got the checks from an acquaintance from Georgia, and also said she forged two people's names on the checks.

The Golden State Warriors can trace their history back to the inaugural season of the NBA, back when they were the Philadelphia Warriors. Philadelphia was a playoff team in each of the first three seasons of the NBA, but then missed the playoffs for three straight years. The Warriors returned to the playoffs in a big way in 1956, winning the NBA championship behind future Hall-of-Famer Paul Arizin. The Warriors were in the playoffs more often than not over the remainder of the 1950s, 1960s, and most of the 1970s. The team made the NBA Finals twice in the '60s, but wouldn't win its second NBA championship until 1975, when a team led by Rick Barry swept the Washington Bullets in the finals. Since the 1980s started things have been difficult for the Warriors. Over the last three and a half decades, Golden State has just seven playoff appearances, never more than two seasons in a row, and never advancing past the Western Conference Semifinals. Today the Warriors look ready to buck the recent losing trend thanks to the emergence of point guard Stephen Curry. Golden State has retired the numbers of five players in franchise history. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Golden State Warriors basketball tickets.
The Golden State Warriors had a dream season a year ago. The Warriors won 67 regular season games, Steph Curry was the league MVP, and the Warriors crushed their playoff competition, to with their first title in 4 decades. The Golden State Warriors were able to power through their competition with a roster that is made up of team minded stars who relentlessly attack opponents. The 2015 Golden State Warriors return with practically the same roster as a year ago, and are primed for defending their championship. Steph Curry returns as arguably the best offensive player in the world, and is surrounded by stars Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala. There may not be a team in the league with the depth of the Warriors and it will be hard to not see Golden State returning to the Western Conference finals this season.
Check out our Golden State Warriors Season Preview History page for previews of previous Warriors seasons.
The Warriors play their home games at Oracle Arena, located in Oakland, California. When filled to capacity, Oracle Arena holds more than 19,500 screaming Warriors fans. One of the oldest venues in the NBA, Oracle Arena is part of a bustling sports hotbed in Oakland, located right next to O.co Coliseum, the home of the NFL's Raiders and MLB's Athletics. The Golden State Warriors home bench is on the court side of Oracle Arena in front of sections 27 & 28. Oracle Arena parking information is covered in out Warriors event guide.
Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks
As one of the oldest match-ups in NBA history, the Warriors and the Lakers have played over 430 total games throughout their history that includes over 30 postseason games. The highlight of the playoff series came when the two teams met in the 1968 and 1973 Western Conference Finals. This rivalry has been revitalized in recent seasons with the Warriors young talent starting to come to fruition.
As regional rivals, it is only natural for the games between the Warriors and the Kings to be hostile and intense. With both teams playing in their current city, Golden State and Sacramento have met over 120 times. The close-proximity of both franchises has led the fan bases to not get along and this rivalry will only increase as both teams continue to improve on the basketball court.
The Warriors and the Mavericks have played over 135 regular season games throughout the years with the highlight of this rivalry coming in 2007 when Golden State knocked out Dallas in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs. With star Dirk Nowitzki with the Mavericks and budding star Stephen Curry with the Warriors, the rivalry will only get better.
The Warriors have won multiple NBA championships to go along with their 3+ Western Conference titles. Golden State also won back-to-back division titles in the mid-1970s. The Warriors have had legends such as Wilt Chamberlain and Chris Mullin play for the organization over the years that made Golden State one of the more successful franchises in the league.
Gates at Oracle Arena open to the general public 90 minutes before game-time.
If you are looking for pizza, Red Boy Pizza, and Zachary's Chicago Pizza are both extremely good and close by. For some great comfort food try Home of Chicken and Waffles, or The Fat Lady. Oakland has some great Asian fusion food. Of the many good places nearby, Le Cheval, Dragon Rouge, and Han Dae Gam are three of the best. If you are a barbeque fanatic check out Khanh Huong for Chinese barbeque or Everett & Jones Barbeque for traditional American barbeque. For great burgers try Nation's Giant Hamburger & Great Pies, and of course there is always In-N-Out Burger.
Parking at Oracle Arena is pretty straightforward. There are two large lots on the north side, and two large lots on the south side of the arena. These lots are shared with the larger O.co Coliseum and there are generally enough spots for all the fans entering the arena. It is still advised that you get there early and purchasing a parking pass is the easiest way to go. General parking usually runs about $18.
If your child is 24 months old or older they will be required to have a ticket to enter Oracle Arena. All children younger than 24 months will be allowed to sit on a parents lap for the duration of the game and it is best to have proof of their age with you to avoid any hassles at the door.

Some issues with iOptron iEQ45m
Posted 12 February 2013 - 09:52 PM
The next issue is play in both the RA axis and DEC axis. I never really thought this was a big deal, espeically since I have done 7 minute guided subs. What is the easiest way to remove the play or do I just have to live with it until I can afford an AP900?
Lastly the motors seem to be making more noise then usual. I noticed tonight while tracking Jupiter the RA motor was rather loud. More loud then I remember it in the past. So I set the mount up inside my house, and the RA motor still was louder than I remember. And the dec motor was also making noise. Any ideas on this?
As always thanks for the help!
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:12 PM
how much slop is there in both axes? if it's like 1/10 of the field of a 32mm eyepiece then that's normal and you'll never be rid of it unless you go the AP route.
incidentally i have a 20-year old AP and a 2-year old AP. the 20-year old also has slop (although less than my CGEM).
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:31 PM
I can't recall exactly, but the slop seems a lot great than 1/10 the field of my 30mm. I would guess close to 1/4. Right now if I grab the counter weight shaft I can get the whole mount to wiggle. It's hard to describe exactly how much it wiggles, but its quite noticable.
Also with the DEC completely locked down I still can use the scope to rotate the axis without much difficulty.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 11:14 PM
If it's more than that then perhaps you need to adjust the worm mesh.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 11:21 PM
So.. you are pushing on the telescope and actually moving the dec axis??? There is something wrong here as the worm wheel is coming out of mesh with the worm gear . These two are spring loaded. If you are pushing on the telescope and moving the dec axis you may be damaging the 2 gears as they bump over each other.

Posted 13 February 2013 - 12:22 AM
Good luck, too. At the very least get the new HC, and I hope there's an easy way to fix the wiggles.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 12:26 AM
Posted 13 February 2013 - 03:35 AM
The new type of controller and control boards came out later if I am not mistaken....
The play in the axes may be due to the spring loaded motor assembly. Unlike on other mounts where the gear mesh is fixed, it is spring loaded on the iEQ45, which makes both axes feel "soft".
On the Yahoo groups you can find some tuning tips for improvements.
But if guiding and Goto's work properly why bother?
best regards

With an ota on the mount..just place your hands on the lens and focuser and very lightly rock it...if you hear a 'clicking noise', there is probably too much play on your housing or your worm. Process is the same on the RA axis, only hold the counterweight and the center of the ota.
With your 7 minute guided subs, as you said, it's probably not a big deal.
To eliminate any excessive play, you would need to disassemble the worm housings. To check for excess play on the RA worm..just remove the cover and hold your finger on the worm pully and housing at the same time..gently rock the top center of the ota,,,if there is excess play you will feel it in your finger as the pully moves away from and back toward the housing. This is worm play, and is adjustable. PM me if you need to do this. Same with the DEC housing
The other area to check while the cover is off is the housing to hinge play..same scenario, but put your finger (or a dial indicator) at the hinge and housing and rock with your other hand very gently..you will feel the play if it is present..if it's a lot, you can actually see it.
If excess play is present, you can loosen the cap screws on just one of the hinges and press it tightly against the housing and retighten. Mark the hinge to housing location with a fine marker line before loosening..just to make sure you retain the proper mesh point.
Hope the info helps someone...

Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:54 PM
BTW mine has the modified clutch and the 8406 HC. The 8407 needs new controller boards so it is not an easy upgrade.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 08:31 PM
Yeah I figured it wouldn't be an easy upgrade.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 11:45 PM
As far as your other issues, Phillip Easton recommendation on getting the henge play and gear mesh adjustment right is really a good idea. It's not hard to do either if you have a bit of mechanical skill and follow iOptrons instructions. I also installed a spring with just a bit more tension on the RA motor housing. I cannot at this point comment on the good sense of doing this.......it has made GOTOs after a meridian flip much better but I am not sure if it is putting too much stress on the motor housing. Time will tell on that one I bet.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 08:06 AM
Mark, thanks for the update on the cost. $120 isn't too bad.
Also Paul suggested checking the play and the mesh first, just want to give credit where it is due
Posted 14 February 2013 - 12:50 PM
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:02 PM
I took a video of slop.
While that looks a bit on the loose side, as long as the worm assembly is moving out from the wheel and not laterally (i.e., side to side), then the action is generally correct. The other video that was linked to earlier seemed to show a lot of lateral movement in the assembly and that would be a real problem, especially with gotos and changing direction.
If the spring tension is not high enough, then the worm will want to slide out of the teeth of the wheel and tilt outward too easily. This would be a problem with an off-balance load as well as when starting a slew, particularly at high speed since the worm would tend to push out momentarily and then slide back into place. The problem is, if the spring tension is too high, then it will excentuate all the flaws in the worm and wheel (which inevitably exist in gear systems). Finding the correct tension is the tricky part. I find that I spend a lot of time playing with a spring loaded system until I am happy with it. While the benefit is less backlash, the adjustment is much more difficult to make than a solid-mounted worm.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:57 PM
Yeah the worm assembly is only moving out, and not side to side. So as long as I properly balance whatever scope I have mounted I should be alright?
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:02 PM
Thanks for the info Ed.
Yeah the worm assembly is only moving out, and not side to side. So as long as I properly balance whatever scope I have mounted I should be alright?
Balance will be important, but if the worm is too loose, then the mass will get you when the mount starts to move, particularly at higher speeds. So you might need to tighten it up if you find it having problems.

The World Vaccines Market Is Predicted...
Traditional Tissue Biopsies Are Not Providing...
Isis Pharmaceuticals has earned a $5 million milestone payment from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) related to the designation of ISIS-GSK4Rx, an antisense drug designed to treat an undisclosed ocular disease, as a development candidate.
As a part of the alliance, Isis is eligible to earn additional prelicensing milestone payments from GSK as ISIS-GSK4Rx advances. The company will develop ISIS-GSK4Rx to Phase II proof-of-concept, at which time GSK has the option to exclusively license it. Isis is also eligible to receive double-digit royalties on sales of the candidate.
Isis and GSK's antisense collaboration began in March 2010 when GSK paid Isis $35 million upfront to discover new antisense drugs against serious rare disorders including infectious diseases and specific conditions causing blindness. Last month, GSK added ISIS-GSK3Rx to the program, earning Isis $7 million in milestone payments.
Collaboration between the two firms has resulted in three antisense drugs in Isis' pipeline. In July, the company won a $2 million milestone payment from GSK for the advancement of an ongoing Phase II/III study of ISIS-TTRRx, an antisense drug being developed for the rare genetic disease transthyretin amyloidosis. In the deal, Isis received $20 million in up-front and milestone payments before the dosing of the first patient in the study, including a $7.5 million payment it earned in February upon initiation of the trial.

|Voters go to the polls Tuesday
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 01 November 2012 18:34
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Nebraskans, along with their fellow Americans, will go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 6, to decide whether to re-elect Democratic President Barack Obama or elect Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
While much of the election focus falls on the presidential race, Nebraskans will also be electing a U.S. senator after Sen. Ben Nelson (D) decided not to seek re-election.
On the Republican side, state senator Deb Fischer of Valentine will be trying to take over the seat held by the Democrats during Nelson's two 6-year terms.
Former Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey is vying to return to the Senate after leaving his seat in 2001 at the end of two terms.
Fischer built a large lead coming off a primary victory over Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning.
Polls indicate she still holds a lead going into the last week, however her cushion has narrowed.
Voters in the Third Congressional District will cast votes for their Congressman. The incumbent is Republican Adrian Smith. He is being challenged by Democrat Mark Sullivan.
Local races
This marks the off-election year for state offices and most Chase County offices.
The only election at the county level will be for District 1 commissioner. Republican Chuck Vette won the Primary run-off and is unopposed in the General.
The only other contested race on the General Election ballot is in Imperial for two seats on the city council.
Candidates include incumbent Sue Moore and challengers Junior Reeder and Dan Thompson.
Amendment issues
Voters will also decide the fate of four amendments to the Nebraska Constitution.
Two of the four deal with the Nebraska Legislature.
Amendment 3 seeks to change the term limits for state senators from two consecutive terms to three consecutive four-year terms.
In addition, Amendment 4 asks Nebraskans whether or not they want to raise the salaries of state senators from $12,000 per year to $22,500 per year.
Amendment 1 would allow impeachment of civil officers for acts committed while running for office.
Amendment 2 would put the right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife into the Constitution.
Early voting through Nov. 5
Voters wishing to vote early can do so at the Chase County Clerk's office until 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5.
On Election Day Nov. 6, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Chase County Clerk Debbie Clark said 293 voters had already cast their ballots by mid-day Tuesday. In the last presidential election in 2008, about 330 voters voted early.
The 293 early votes represents nearly 11 percent of the county's 2,572 registered voters. Of those, 1,828 are Republican, 450 Democrat, 289 non-partisan, 4 Libertarian and 1 America's Elect.
Polling places for the respective precincts in Chase County are as follows:
Champion/Lamar ........ChampionCommunity Center
Imperial West ........... Lied Imperial Public Library
Imperial East ........... Imperial Community Center
Imperial Rural ........... United Methodist Church—Imperial
Wauneta ................... Wauneta Senior Center
Early Voting .............. Chase County Courthouse

Hi all,
I have troubles to get ldap to work on my FC4 box with zcs-3.0.0_M3_436 installed. The automated install process installed the RPMs and config files properly, but then ldap could not be initialized. After adding the IP address parameter to the starting line (slapd may only listen on one interface) and adding a -d4 switch to the slapd start command I saw that that ca and cert were missing. Then I did a bin/createca and bin/createcert manually. Now "bin/ldap start" succeeds, my box now listens on ports 389 and 636.
But now when I do a bin/zmcontrol status I get the following error:
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.AuthenticationException [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials])
Obviously something is not yet initialized or my entered passwords were not stored properly (either in the LDAP directory or in localconfig.xml). Is there an easy way to get these password/certificate issues fixed, perhaps by reinitializing all passwords?
Any help would very much be appreciated.

Wednesday Afternoon News, June 27th
Floyd Valley Nurse Says To Stay Hydrated During Heat Wave
(Le Mars) -- Today the temperature is expected to reach the upper 90's and quite possibly the 100's. The heat index is also forecasted to be at 105 degrees. The combination of high heat and high humidity can be quite dangerous according to Floyd Valley Trauma Coordinator Mary Jo Clark.
Listen here
Clark says you should wear loose fitting, and lighter colored clothes for additional comfort during hot days. She suggests to stay hydrated with water or sport drinks but stay away from the soda drinks.
Listen here
The Floyd Valley Hospital official says already this summer the hospital has had a number of heat exhausion cases. She explains the symptoms for heat exhaustion.
Listen here
After heat exhausion, and in extreme severe cases, heat stroke may set in.
Listen here
Clark says often times a person with heat exhausion may notice it more on the second day when that person feels nausious and has flu-like symtoms.
Grass Fires Called Arson
(Le Mars) -- Another concern regarding the high temperatures is the number of fires that may start. The Le Mars Fire Department responded to six different grass fires this (Wednesday) morning. Fire Chief Dave Schipper says the conditions are nearly perfect for combustion.
Listen here
Schipper says he is even more concerned about the outbreak of fires since the Independence Day holiday is a week away.
Listen here
The Le Mars Fire Chief is also worried about his crew during these hot days.
Listen here
As for those six grass fires this morning...Schipper says he is a bit suspicious.
Listen here
The fire official asks people not to disgard their cigarettes out the window while driving on a roadway.
Consolidation of Human Social Services
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A social service agency has consolidated its northeast Nebraska residential treatment facility into a Sioux City campus.
The Boys and Girls Home and Family Services location in South Sioux City has closed. Officials say there wasn't enough demand for the organization's services to support the Nebraska operation and
that Nebraska funding had been limited.
The organization provides counseling and other community services for young people.
The consolidation will cost five people their jobs.
A Dakota City, Neb., facility, the Siouxland Family Center, will remain open.
Juvenile Arrests Decline
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are crediting effective programs for a three-year decline in juvenile arrests.
A report from the Iowa Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning says juvenile arrests fell 20 percent from 2007 to 2010. Adult arrests fell 7 percent over the same period.
Between 2004 and 2007, arrests of minors rose by almost 14
percent. The report says the decline means fewer youths are committing crimes and illustrates the effectiveness of research-based approaches in reducing crime.
The report also says the number of juveniles tried in adult courts dropped to 446 in 2011 from 521 in 2008.

Cincinnati, OH -- Kroger announced Tuesday they will buy Harris Teeter for about $2.5 billion.
Kroger will purchase Harris Teeter shares for $49.38 per share in cash.
The merger will be completed pending approval from Harris Teeter shareholders and regulators. The Boards of Directors for both companies have already approved the terms of the agreement.
Cincinnati-based Kroger, said there are no plans to close stores and both companies will continue to operate with their respective headquarters. Harris Teeter, based in Matthews, NC, has 212 stores in the southeast and mid-Atlantic regions from Florida to Washington, DC.
The merger will make a combined total of 2,631 grocery stores employing more than 368,300 employees throughout 34 states, according to Kroger.
Kroger said they will acquire Harris Teeter's $100 million in debt, but says they plan to save $40 million to $50 million in cost savings during the next three to four years.
Harris Teeter said earlier this year that they were talking with two private equity firms to possibly sell the grocery chain.

I have a sales user with a 20gb calendar, I've cleaned it up mostly but he has 700+ calendar events that need actioning and this seems to make them read only so I can't select them all and delete them.
I also can't bulk decline them either, this means I have to delete them all one by one which is something I am looking to avoid.
Does anyone know a way I can force delete these events from the cli etc?

I'm a windows mobile user here, and again I have to ask how do people work with mobile email?
I have all these awesome filters setup in zimbra to flag messages, tag them, file them in the appropriate spot, and then use a simple query to pull all the important items together in one view.
I'd really love to take that query, and make it my "inbox" on my windows mobile device.
We dont have access to the zimbra mobile code to make this change, so when can we expect that option? Zimbra mobile inbox query? I think there is a bug for it already, I'll look up the number, doesnt anyone else see the value in this?
The only other way I can think of doing it is to remove my auto folder filings, so I can get all my emails in my inbox without having to use the terrible folder system in windows mobile.
Or is there some other program I should use on my phone?

Parsley and the closely related cilantro are managed as cool season herbs, especially in hot and humid Eastern North Carolina. However, plant breeders have produced cultivars that are slower to bolt (flower) in hot weather, and these may give us an opportunity to stretch the parsley and cilantro season a little further into late spring or early summer.
According to Nicole Sanchez, an area Extension agent housed in Jones County, evaluations are currently underway at the Cunningham Research Center in Kinston to learn more about the heat tolerance of cilantro cultivars, including Calypso and Fiesta Green. Santos is an older cilantro cultivar with claims to heat tolerance, and likewise Favorit (without the �e�) is a parsley cultivar that should be productive further into the hot season. Light shade will be beneficial in this regard, as temperatures rise.
You may well find both parsley and cilantro in the garden centers or our Farmers Market during the next few weeks. While September is considered a better time to get them started in the garden, the unusually cool temperatures predicted for May should help with establishment and early growth, and we can expect the plants to hang in there through the summer and then really take off in the fall.
Parsely and cilantro also work well when direct seeded into the garden, and August would be a good time for this. Sanchez said that parsley is very slow to germinate, so gardeners shouldn�t conclude too quickly that a planting has failed.
These herbs are good sources of Vitamins A and C, which is especially beneficial during the winter months. They are also very attractive as cut flowers, once they finally do bolt and begin producing tall stalks with inflorescences resembling Queen Anne�s Lace. As biennials, they should begin flowering at the end of their second and final year.
Overall, these are fascinating plants. Consider finding some space for them in your garden this spring or fall.
Downy mildew is something you don't want to find in your garden, but unfortunately there is always a chance for this and an array of other disease problems as the weather warms up and the gardening season goes into overdrive. According to a recent Pest Alert from N.C. State, we can expect to have problems with impatiens downy mildew in our state and region in 2013.
Downy mildew is caused by a fungus-like organism known as Plasmopara obducens. Since it�s not a true fungus, traditional fungicides are not effective against this or other downy mildews. Accordingly, our plant pathologists at N.C. State do not recommend the use of fungicides in the landscape for this problem. Instead, all infected impatiens should be pulled from the landscape and destroyed.
Suspect downy mildew if you see early symptoms such as light-green yellowing or stippling of leaves; subtle gray markings on upper leaf surfaces; downward curling of infected leaves; or white downy-like fungal growth on the undersides of leaves. Plants will eventually defoliate and collapse. Feel free to bring samples by your local Extension office if you�re unsure.

Week 2: Selucia vs. Mat
Posted 22 January 2012 - 02:22 PM
Write-up by: Luckers
The Contestants
Mat Cauthon
Age: 20
Race: human
Weapon: ashendarei
Special: memories and experience of many lives.
Age: mid forties
Race: human
Weapon: hands and feet
Special: extensive martial arts training as a bodyguard
The Breakdown
Mat: Has the experience of a great many adventurers, soldiers, and other skilled individuals.
Selucia: Her skills as a martial artist are a closely held secret.
Mat: Doesn't like to kill women.
Selucia: Suicidal sense of duty.
How we think the fight will go:
Mat grimaced when he saw Selucia standing in front of the door to the suite Tuon had claimed as her own. By the look on her face you might think that he was some dockyard ruffian come drunk to morning brunch, and worse, the buxom woman held herself as if she were some sort of bodyguard, intent to block his way. Well Mat was having none of that—the Light knew Selucia had been bad enough as Tuon's maid, and no doubt she'd have a mind to be ten times worse now that she was so'jhin and soe'feia, but Mat Cauthon was Tuon's husband, and if he was going to pay the price of that, then he'd at least get the respect of it.
Still, it was worth trying for a little peaceful negotiation. He was a reasonable man, after all. Summoning his most charming grin, he made the smoothest leg he could with the ashendarei in his hand. He should have left the damn thing back at the Band's camp, but with Darkfriends after him every other day, he wouldn't risk it. Well, no matter, it was here, for all that he'd have no use for it. "Evening Selucia," he said, "is Tuon awake?"
Immediately he could tell the woman was angry, though she had no reason to be with him being as courteous as a Talmouri maiden. Mouth thinning to a line, she said, "The Empress, may she live forever, is not accepting visitations to the Presence. Return later."
"Now listen here," he began, his own temper beginning to rise, what with the way she was staring down her nose at him, "Tuon is my—"
"Tuon is dead, Highness." Selucia cut him off. "The name will be remembered as honoured in the eyes of the Empire, whilst the Empress moves forward in glory. It is not, however, for me to speak that name to you."
Tuon is dead? The Dark One's left foot she was—Tuon was the talk of Ebou Dar, Tuon and holes in the air and an attack on the White Tower. That was why he came. He opened his mouth, then paused, frowning, remembering that nonsense with Leilwin. Light, but Seanchan were odd.
"Very well," he said holding on to impatience with an iron fist, "but Tuon, the Empress, or the bloody Amyrlin Seat, I want to see my wife."
Again he could tell that he'd said the wrong thing, almost immediately, and this once he could see the sense of it—why under the Light had he mentioned the Amyrlin Seat? Not that he had anything like the Seanchan sensibilities when it came to channelers, but about the only thing he could think of that was worse than being married to a noblewoman was being married to an Aes Sedai. Only, in Tuon he had found something very near to both, a thought which strangely no longer seemed to bother him.
"Selucia," he began again—her left foot had begun to tap a steady beat, and she appeared to be thinking through the various things she intended to say to him. Unpleasant things, by that look. "I understand you're just trying to do what you think Tu—what you think that the Empress would want, but I really need to speak to her. And I am going to." He hesitated, and then forged ahead despite the sour taste in his mouth. "I am the Prince of the Ravens," unless he had attained a new title with Tuon's ascension to the Crystal Throne. Light! "And I need to speak with the Empress, so I shall do so whether you let me in, or whether I have to go through you."
Her mouth thinned even further, and she did not move, as if she thought that she could actually stop him should he decide to force his way in—not that he'd hurt her. He'd killed a woman in the past and had no intention of doing so again, and certainly not a lady's maid who'd no doubt never handled a knife in her life.
"Very well," he said, stepping forward—and then staggering back, head ringing, staring at her in shock. Not only had he not even seen her move, her blow had had the weight of a tavern brawler behind it, not a soft as silk ladies maid.
"Are you insane?" he breathed, staring at her. Selucia? Hitting him!
"What the Empress sets in motion this day must not be stopped," Selucia said calmly. "And you, though you are her husband, have shown the clarity of your loyalties when it comes to… certain matters. Therefore I shall do the ultimate duty, even though I shall die for having stuck you, Highness. I will keep you here, even if I must kill you to do so."
"You are insane." All Seanchan were, they had to be.
"I serve the Empress, and the Empire. In life, to death."
He shook his head. Well didn't that just kick the goat? But before he could think of anything more to say that would make the woman see reason, she moved, fast as a striking snake and with a grace to make a Myrddraal feel clumsy. She seemed to have sprouted new hands, so quickly did she attack, and she'd moved so close that the ashendarei was next to useless, and then it was useless in fact, as one of her blurring, knife-like hands chopped it out of his even as another struck at his temple in a way that would have left him insensate for hours had he not managed to slap the blow away. The whole time he was thinking, Selucia? Really? But then there was no more room for thought as he blocked blow after blow, each falling with the precision of long training.
Suddenly a knife was in her hands, and a sharp line of fire drew across his face under the eye that was no longer there, and he leapt back, cursing. She followed after, that blade stabbing holes in the air—and sometimes his coat, and once he himself—as he used every ounce of skill, either his or borrowed from memories stuffed in his head by the flaming foxes, to keep from ending up dead. I will do the ultimate duty, she had said. Light have mercy, she was going to skewer him! Grimacing, he went on the offensive—the damn woman left him no choice.
He caught her knife arm by the wrist, and with a twist, broke it, hating the sound and hating himself by equal measure. The blasted woman didn't even flinch, and only a slight irritation shone through her calm, as if having her wrist broken were just a minor inconvenience. Nor did she hesitate, her right hand letting go of the knife as her left hand darted in to catch it—Thom said that he thought Mat had the fastest hands he had ever seen, but Mat thought this blasted maid would leave him in the water any day of the week—she struck in the same move, and the knife went deep, even though he saw what she was doing, and twisted aside.
Grunting, his face twisting in pain, he did the only thing he could. He punched her square in the face. She fell hard, her head slamming against the wall with a sickening crack, and did not move as he stood, swaying over her, one hand grasping the hilt of the knife that was still in him. Not a fatal wound that, but a bad one. Almost, he could wish it had been. Oh Light, she wasn't moving. She was not moving.
Kneeling—half falling, in truth, and grunting at the red hot fire the knife sent through him—he felt for a pulse and found nothing.
"The Light damn you, Selucia." He muttered. The Light damn me.
Soon, he would have to get up to find Tuon and stop this madness with the Tower, and tell her what had happened to Selucia, but for the moment he slumped by her side, paying respect. She had been insane, and would have killed him if he hadn't stopped her, but still, she was owed that much.
Predicted Winner: Mat
You have until Saturday, January 28th at 9:00 p.m. PST to vote.
Posted 22 January 2012 - 02:38 PM
Anyway, Mat ftw...I mean, his luck is enough anyway, even if he didn't have the ashandarei.
Mat: Has the experience of a great many adventurers, soldiers, and other skilled individuals.
And he has killed women before, when it comes to the crunch.

I think one of the reasons the Black Tower has become so popular in fandom isn't just that you get to dress in black and set fires with your mind, it's the sense of struggle the Asha'man have. To save the world, they have to embrace the part of themselves that's terrible and destructive. They risk madness to learn how to channel. It's a tremendous sacrifice they make.

1. Mat's luck
2. If I am not very mistaken, Mat has seen Selucia fighting. I mean, how do we know about it otherwise?

Two things are not mentioned:
1. Mat's luck
2. If I am not very mistaken, Mat has seen Selucia fighting. I mean, how do we know about it otherwise?
1. I opted not to mention Mat's luck. Utilizing it to answer a fight covered in a thousand words seemed cheap and way too easy.
2. Nah. The closest Mat came to being aware of Selucia's ability was during Knife of Dreams when darkfriends attack Mat, Tuon, Selucia and Thom after the scene at the 'Hell'. During that scene Mat runs at the darkfriends in front of him, kills most, with Tuon killing the last. He turns on her, angry that she didn't run, and only then sees that others had attacked from behind, all of whom are now dead. He concludes Thom dealt with those ones, though he wonders if Tuon had fought there too, but he never considers Selucia, and it is indeed made very clear that he never realised the role that she played.
As for how we know, it was stated directly by Tuon in a PoV that Selucia was secretly her shadow bodyguard. In addition Brandon, in one of his blunt 'Rand must be the bestest at everything' moments had Rand figure out Selucia was a bodyguard with nothing more than a glance during tGS.

One thing that I would change, Mat ends it with a headbutt rather than a punch.
Maybe as an add to the last paragraph.
If only he could stop that nagging thought that kept surfacing. Nynaeuve was right. I really should use my head more often.

not to mention his luck... based on his luck, he took out several high lords of tear without trying(or by accident) ... hit rabbits, flying targets, etc without looking(or/and by accident)
to my mind, he's the most dangerous man out there... capable of beating rand and lan... and selucia, wouldnt stand a chance if she provoked his ire...

Norfolk Southern posts strong 3Q 2010 earnings
October 28, 2010
As has been the case during third quarter earnings, Class I railroad earnings continued to deliver strong results, with Norfolk Southern's strong earnings results bearing that out.
Earnings for the Norfolk, Virginia-based carrier at $445 million were up 47 percent year-over-year. And earnings per share of $1.19 were also up 47 percent, beating Wall Street estimates of $1.09.
Quarterly revenue of $2.5 billion was up 19 percent, benefitting from a 15 percent annual volume increase (and 2 percent from the second quarter), the fifth straight quarter of volume growth. And income from railway operations was up 33 percent to $476 million. Norfolk Southern's operating ratio improved 3.2 percent to 69.6 percent.
On an earnings conference call, NS CEO Wick Moorman recalled how in the second quarter of this year he was optimistic that the momentum NS generated in the first half of the year would continue into the third quarter.
"I am pleased to report momentum has remained strong as NS has delivered double-digit increases in revenue, income, and bottom-line results," said Moorman. "Against this [difficult] economic backdrop, we continue to improve productivity as we safely handle increasing traffic levels. While experiencing significant traffic volume swings over the last two years, our systems continue to provide us with increased flexibility and service consistency with respect to our operating plans."
Looking at volumes for specific industry verticals, coal loadings at 402,700 were up 12.8 percent. General merchandise at 587,700 carloadings was up 9.7 percent, and intermodal at 1, 752,600 was up 13.3 percent.
Intermodal continues to be a major sweet spot for Class I railroads, and Norfolk Southern is no exception in that regard. In the third quarter, it officially rolled out Heartland Corridor, which Moorman said represents the shortest, most direct, double-stacked intermodal route, linking the Port of Hampton to the Midwest.
Absent from the earnings call was any commentary on pricing for the third quarter.
A research note from Tony Hatch, principal of New York-based ABH Consulting stated that NS had 60 percent of 2011 contracts locked in that their target levels of "rail inflation plus," which he said equates to 3-to-4 percent price increases.

Genre: Adaptation, Comedy, Drama
The bizarre death of Peggy Ingraham, the matriarch of a working-class Texas family, sets off fireworks within her dysfunctional family. Her determinedly proper daughter Latrelle is in denial over the fact that her son Ty, an actor trying to make it in Hollywood, is gay, and is relieved that her only brother, a gay drag queen and dedicated Tammy Wynette impersonator, has been confined to a mental institution for 23 years simply because he is gay. Latrelle's brassy sister LaVonda, however, thinks her brother should be released from the institution and has a perfect right to attend their mother's funeral. Meanwhile, Ty, who has strived hard to accept his homosexuality, realizes that there is no...

TAMPA, Fla. (WTSP) -- There was still no sign of the two parents who kidnapped
their children in Tampa earlier this week, after a court in Louisiana
took away their parental rights.
There were, however, two major developments in the case in the past
24 hours. The black GMC pickup truck belong to Joshua and Sharyn Hakken
was found Thursday night in Madeira Beach.
That tip set off a chain of events.
Detectives, who now had an area to ask people questions, found a
witnesses who had spotted the couple on a boat heading out of John's
Pass on Wednesday morning.
Joshua Hakken's truck was located in the John's Pass parking garage,
where it had been backed-in to the parking space, to conceal the license
"This lead that we got last night is of course the most pressing lead
that we've gotten so far," said Det. Larry McKinnon with the
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
While detectives were still scouring the vehicle, a witness near the
marina provided information that just two hours after the kidnapping,
the Hakkens were seen in a sailboat under the John's Pass bridge.
Surveillance photos show the couple preparing the 1972 25' Morgan
named "Salty." Another image shows them heading out toward the Gulf of
The boat, they say, was not stolen. It had been sold to them a few weeks ago.
The purchase of the vessel, again, appears to be part of a seemingly
elaborate plan broken down into what Joshua Hakken himself referred to
as "phases."
"We do know he has some sailing training and some sailing experience, so he is capable of operating that boat," said McKinnon.
Investigators now have the U.S. Coast Guard, the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Sheriff's Marine units up and down
Florida's west coast searching inlets, marinas and the wide open
They've also not ruled out the possibility that the Hakkens could
have used the boat just long enough to get back to another place on
land where they could then grab yet another vehicle.
"We're not eliminating any land searches at this point. We're looking
for them both on land," said McKinnon, "But right now we're going to
focus more of that search on the waterways on the west coast of
At this point, the Hakkens would appear to have a 48-hour lead on investigators, but detectives have not lost their trail yet.
They repeated several time on Friday, that they hope this can be resolved peacefully.

I've got 2 users having the same issue. Basically, they aren't receiving mail from certain users. For example, Bob can send an email to both Angie and Brian. Angie gets the mail, but Brian doesn't. I've checked Bob's sent file and he's got both email addresses correct. It's not delivering into their junk or trash folders. And Bob doesn't get any bounce back.
My second user, Mickey, is having the same issue. Mail is sent to multiple people but he doesn't get his copy.

North Carolina public gardens
The fourth annual National Public Gardens Day, scheduled for Friday, May 11, is a national celebration that invites communities to explore the beauty of their local green spaces while raising awareness of the important role public gardens play in promoting education and environmental preservation.
The American Public Gardens Association, based in Kennett Square, Pa., lists more than 500 North American public gardens, most of which will be celebrating the day in their own unique ways with special activities for schools, families, garden enthusiasts and other visitors. For example, Airlie Gardens in Wilmington will offer free admission, special events for children and a few other surprises during extended hours (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) on National Public Gardens Day.
Annually scheduled on the Friday preceding Mother's Day weekend, some APGA member garden activities will continue through Mother's Day weekend. Examples of APGA's diverse members include botanical gardens, college/university gardens, arboreta, educational gardens, farm gardens, historical landscapes, zoos and museum gardens. For more information on National Public Gardens Day or to find an APGA garden near you, visit www.NationalPublicGardensDay.org, "LIKE" the National Public Gardens Day Facebook page and follow the National Public Gardens Day Twitter feed, @NPGD.

Hey God I just want to thank you for unbanning me
Hey God I just want to thank you for unbanning me
I'm sure hes thinking of you too.
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
I was just thinking as I opened the link, "Wasn't BM banned?"
Tim, what were you thinking?
He knows BM will be great someday.
Yeah you'll be great in something, that is a solid bet.
Like sucking a meeeeeeeean cock for 3.50
Anyways, Tim. YOU CROSSED THE LINE INTO SUCKAGE
Whatever and dont blame Tim Fo greatness.
Whoa... did you get IQ points in your absense? 1 spelling mistake? I am afraid
you can't permanantly ban someone for suckiness. if he starts sucking at intolerable levels, i'll use his acess mask to block him from misc. chrizz banned him permanantly without admin permission for fucking up the RP boards, which is a no no im afraid
I still hate you CL
Oh ya and always will
Gee that's real nice.
Pairs: MPT, Panda Rocker, MEX, SuikunMyuu, Zapdos, CL, Link, Revan, DSX, Kelsh, and Goku!
whatever, as long as he doesn't fuck up the misc I'm fine.
Bayleaf master doesn't seem like much of a master..... Hey! This guy's a phony! He's a big, fat phony! Hey, everybody, look at the phony!

Hello Guys,
I'am working on a migration from Exch to Zimbra. The users on Zimbra should use Zdesktop now instead of Outlook.
But I don't want my user to configure by themself their account... (they are particularry lazy ^^)
So! What I would like to do is to create a script, a msi or something that, in the same time of the instal, create the account, or at least, preconfigure the server name!
And, the bonus question: is there a way to have the same interface in Zdesktop that in the webinterface?
Thanks a lot
