Hi everyone,
First I would like to apologize if this is not the correct section. I am a newbie in Zimbra. Here is what I am looking for:
I have a domain let say test.com. I have installed Zimbra server in the local office. The Zimbra is NATed to an external IP with hostname mail.test.com. I want to authenticate my domain with zimbra server, in other words to use zimbra as a SMTP relay, but to be open only for incomming mails from test.com.
First I know that I have to add MX record for host - mail.test.com in the DNS where is the domain. I want to use it only for relayed e-mails from test.com
The other strange thing I noticed is that I have tested server on its IP. Telnet to port 25 is ok, but when try to send mail via console all the mails are "Relay access denied" ?
This is my first mail server installation and I am sorry if the questions are stupid.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Who needs tubes?
This is the quick 'n easy way to convert clincher rims to tubeless. The Stan's NoTubes Standard Tubeless Kit looks like one of those things invented in the garage by a guy with too much time on his hands. So what? Tinkerers have made the bike world so damned interesting, and there is a beauty associated with any garage solution — so utilitarian, so deceptively simple, so appropriately MTB.
This Standard Kit has everything needed to convert one 26in, cross-country wheelset to tubeless. It includes two molded rim strips with Presta valve cores, one pint of Stan's tire sealant with a 60-gram scoop and a spout, and one 10-yard roll of rim tape. Detailed instructions are also included; we recommend following them to the letter. If there's a concern about sealant, buy an extra quart now to recover from those initial screwups without sidelining the wheels and your hard work. The Stan's No Tubes Standard Tubeless Kit is compatible with most cross-country style 26-inch mountain bike rims.

|Mealtime Makeovers
Get in your veggies
By Ashleigh Noyes
Since I was pregnant last year I have been working on incorporating hidden veggies into my meals that are too small for me to pick out when I eat. That way I get a little more of the added nutrition that I need but don't always want to eat! This pizza is a great way to sneak in some of those greens that I don't particularly care for. The boys in my house love spinach leaves–me, not so much. So I finely chop them and have been adding them to several dishes to make myself feel like I am eating them! This is just one of the ways I have found to do that.

Travis Perez, 19, of George West, refused medical treatment and was apparently all right.
Troopers said Perez fell asleep at the wheel of his vehicle and it veered from the westbound lanes into the eastbound lanes, exited the highway, struck a culvert, sideswiped a utility pole and then hit another pole head-on.
The speed limit on State Highway 72 is 70 mph.
In addition to the DPS, Acadian Ambulance Service and the Live Oak County Sheriff's Department were at the scene.

Electrical Problems Blamed for Hull Fire
HULL, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have blamed an electrical problem for a fire that damaged city offices in the northwest Iowa town of Hull.
A state investigator says the problem occurred in an electrical junction box in the building's rear maintenance area.
City Administrator Les Van Roekel says the maintenance area was heavily damaged and that the city offices sustained smoke and water damage.
It's unclear whether the building will be repaired or demolished.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars Police Department is investigating a head-on auto accident that left three people injured. The accident occured last Wednesday evening when 22-year old James Clinton of Merrill was driving on 6th Street SW when he turned on to 6th Avenue and crossed the centerline and struck another vehicle driven by 16 year old Brenden Arens of LeMars. Riding with Arens, and also injured in the collision were 17 year old Lukas Miller and 17 year old Garrett Schoen, both of LeMars. The injuries were not life threatening.
ONAWA, Iowa (AP) - A Sergeant Bluff woman has been charged with drunken and reckless driving after police say she hit a man with her SUV outside a bar in Onawa.
44-year-old Kimberly Heberer was arrested early Saturday morning after police say she ran her SUV into a 25-year-old man from Blencoe in an alley behind the Suds N Jugs Bar.
The man was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to a hospital in Sioux City.
Police say the investigation is continuing and that further charges may be filed.
The case was not yet listed in online court records and officials with the Monona County jail say Heberer was released.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Legislature's top Republican says volatile social issues like gay marriage and abortion will largely be off the table when lawmakers convene in January.
House Speaker Kraig Paulsen says Republicans who control the Iowa House approved tough positions on those issues last session and there's no reason to spend time debating those issues again.
Restrictions on abortion and gay marriage were blocked in the Democratically-controlled Senate last session.
Paulsen, who spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday, says he wants to focus on jobs and the economy in the session that begins Jan. 9.
Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal says Senate Democrats agree, and that likely will lead to a shorter session.
(Marcus) -- There are more than 100 Christmas Tree farms across the state of Iowa, and two of them are close to LeMars. Yesterday, we visited with Susan Muth of the T&S Christmas tree farm of Hawarden. Today, we go to Marcus and visit with Marie Bork of the Country Pine Christmas Tree Farm. Country Pine offers more than 4000 trees, with the majority being Scotch Pine. Bork says it is the memories that are created that makes a selecting a real Christmas tree so special.
Listen here
Bork says she believes more people are wanting to make the experience of selecting a locally grown Christmas tree a family event that they will remember.
Listen here
The Country Pine Christmas Tree Farm also sells wreaths and other holiday greenery, plus they have a gift shop full of holiday ornaments and decorations, and they also offer home-made jams and jellies to their customers.

By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO (Reuters) – The billionaire creator of Beanie Babies, Ty Warner, will serve two years of probation, including mentoring high school students, following his guilty plea on a tax evasion charge, but no jail time, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
Warner, 69, who pleaded guilty in October, told U.S. District Court Judge Charles Kocoras in Chicago that he was sorry, and called it the biggest mistake of his life. Warner already had agreed to pay a civil penalty of nearly $53.6 million.
Kocoras cited Warner's many acts of charity in imposing two years' probation as requested by his attorneys, rather than the prison term sought by prosecutors.
"Society will be best served by allowing him to continue his good works," Kocoras said.
Warner, who in 2013 was ranked as the 209th richest American by Forbes, "went to great lengths" to hide from his accountants and the Internal Revenue Service more than $3.1 million in foreign income generated in a secret Swiss bank account, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago.
Beanie Babies, small plush toys sold for $5 to $7, have been popular with collectors. At their peak of popularity in the 1990s, some collectors would pay hundreds of dollars for a rare character on the resale market, according to press accounts.
Warner's net worth was listed as $2.6 billion in 2013, according to Forbes.

In case there is a second vote on HR 1162, keep monitoring the resolution and its funding partner House Bill 797. In its third iteration, when it failed to pass the House, there is nothing to prohibit the General Assembly from creating an HB 881-styled scheme which deducted allotments from local schools. This cat has many lives and assumes a new appearance in each.
The quest to access local taxpayer dollars resulting in taxation without representation just won't end. In simple terms, local taxpayers will end up with a higher bill as local systems work to make up for dollars taken from them by the state if HR 1162 makes it to the fall ballot and passes.
A state commission, which HR 1162 would create, would use local taxpayer funds for statewide virtual charter schools or brick and mortar state charters outside of local systems.
Local school boards across the state of Georgia have approved and currently govern more than 120 locally approved charters, from local start up charters like Newton College and Career Academy and Rockdale Career Academy to conversion charters.
Advocates of HR 1162 would have the public believe that state-sponsored charter schools managed by for-profit and nonprofit companies increase student achievement. Not true, but they do increase the burden on local taxpayers.
State governed charters have not proven to be much different than traditional schools and perform on average no better. The largest study done, the CREDO study from Stanford in 2009, found that 37 percent of charter school students performed significantly below their traditional school counterparts; 46 percent performed about the same, and 17 percent exceeded the performance of their traditional school counterparts by a significant margin. The study showed that charters in Georgia showed gains that varied little from traditional schools.
Vendors and special interest groups proposing state governance of local students would have the public believe that local school boards obstruct their petitions. False again. Denying a petition is not the sign of being obstructionist. The state board has denied petitions and so did the commission. This is yet another political tactic to pass HR 1162.
A "Yes" vote on HR 1162 means more cuts for local general funds as local tax dollars leave the local system and are transferred to a state agency. A decrease in local funds translates into an increase in the number of teacher furlough days, further reductions to system contributions to employee benefits, shortened school calendars and privatization of non-teaching positions.
HR 1162 is not about school choice. There is choice within local systems approved by local boards. HR 1162 is about funding private interests with public dollars. This amendment would make local control meaningless. No matter how disenchanted you may or may not be with local governance, you'll be standing under a brick wall if you transfer dollars and power to the state. They will never share the same interest in local communities as locally elected officials.
Our students and teachers cannot afford HR 1162. In plain terms this is privatization on the public dole. I am convinced that it's true what they say about alligators; they really do eat their young.

Erman Sahin, Muslim Minority Affairs, August 1, 2008
In discussing the massacres of the 1890s, the author does not mention the provocations carried out by the Armenian revolutionary groups that were also an important factor in bringing about Muslim attacks on the Armenians. In the second chapter the author quotes a single instance of this kind for a different occasion (p. 63). His argument, however, is not a synthesis of the evidence presented. Instead of discussing how such
incidents shaped the course of events, the author prefers to limit himself to pointing out how the Turkish historiography makes use of them.

The ballers have begun making their long journeys to Beijing for the opening of the Olympic Games this week.
Soon-to-be world no. 1 Rafael Nadal arrived in the Chinese capital from LA working a pink shadow-striped Nike polo and surrounded by throngs of media, fans and of course the ever-present stalkeratti (most likely hoping for a Rafisca sighting.)
He was joined by his doubles partner Tommy Robredo on this trip. The pair will also be staying in the Olympic Village unlike some other ballers.
Click here for video of their arrival - it's nuts!

Poor Tommy! Talk about taking a backseat!ReplyDelete
That's cool they're planning on staying in the village. Hope it's not too crazy for them there—or for Rafa, at least: He's the true medal contender.
yeah in the video Tommy looks like he's about to get mowed down - he's in front of Rafa like a bumper or body guard!ReplyDelete
umm - i would think staying in the Olympic Village would be part of the whole experience but Fed has more important things on his well-coiffed mind then pin trading. to each his own i suppose...
Pin trading! Love it.ReplyDelete
Glad to see Rafa putting his English skills to good use, although he should probably start working on the always useful phrase "Get out of my god$amned way, you crazy bas#ards or I'll run over your asses with this motherf#*king luggage cart (or Kia, French Open trophy, etc.)!"
Works for me every time.
LOL freakyfrites.ReplyDelete
*sigh* I love me a man who's not afraid to wear pink. Seriously, one of my ex wouldn't, just WOULD NOT wear any shade of pink - no matter how much it complements his skin. I mean what's with "man fear" of wearing pink?
i know i love pink - and it's just a color.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2008 at 5:07 AM
If he has to wear this ugly Nike stuff?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Really not afraid to wear pink - many off-court photos of Rafa pretty in pink, like this one from last month golfing in Mallorca (Nike, again):ReplyDelete
Though, he seems to be an equal opportunity colour chooser - he can be as frequently seen in shades of grey when informal (Et & KEEP THEM FLYING):
See how those two (at a joint presser 2 years ago) differently understood casual - scruffy as opposed to nerdy.

Germain Tackles Tough Oval with Best Qualifying Effort of Season
Posted by: lori on Jun 28, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Mooresville, N.C. (06-27-2010) – Zach Germain has completed competition on two very tough NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race tracks and has earned a wealth of experience to use for his budding NASCAR career. In race number five on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East schedule, Germain raced the No. 24 Germain.com Camry at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He earned his best qualifying spot of the season, 18th, and finished the 125-lap race in 17th.
"First of all, this Germain Racing team turned in another great performance. The Germain.com Camry we brought to the race track handled very well and we were able to earn our best qualifying effort of the season on a challenging, Sprint Cup Series race track. We ran through a 55-lap green flag run, which was a new experience for me. The car was very loose at the start of the race, then it got tight. The crew made good adjustments and kept making the Germain.com Camry better. All in all, it was a great effort and I'm very proud of this No. 24 team," said Germain, who ranks 15th in the series standings after five races.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway provided rookie driver Germain and his team with another weekend of solid gains and solid experience.
"This weekend we knew there would be many opportunities to learn, and we were able to gain positive experience from every one of them. Our pit stops were very good. Whether we took fuel-only or tires, my team did great stops. I experienced several three-wide restarts, a lot of beating and banging and the long green flag run. We worked through a variety of handling conditions and I learned a lot about how my input into the steering wheel affects the handling of the car. New Hampshire is a track that is very 'line-sensitive.' I can't wait to unload our Germain.com Camry at Lime Rock," said Germain.
See the Germain.com Camry on national television. Friday's K&N Pro Series East race from New Hampshire Motor Speedway will be broadcast on SPEED on Thursday, July 1st at 6:00 PM Eastern.
Lime Rock Park, the next race on the K&N Pro Series East schedule, is the only road course race of the season. Germain will race the No. 24 Germain.com Camry at the Connecticut facility on Saturday, July 3rd.
Germain Racing is a championship-winning organization competing in all three of NASCAR's national series. The team adds the K&N Pro Series East No. 24 Germain.com Camry to its lineup this year, and may add K&N Pro Series West and late model races. Sponsorship and branding opportunities are available. Visit GermainRacing.com for more information.
When shopping for your new or used car or truck, head directly to Germain.com to find the perfect vehicle or visit your local Germain dealer in Ohio, Florida, or Arkansas. Follow Zach Germain or Germain Racing on Twitter @ZachGermain, @GermainRacing, or on the web, Germainracing.com or become a Facebook fan.

Greg Mankiw thinks he's really clever:
I have a plan to reduce the budget deficit. The essence of the plan is the federal government writing me a check for $1 billion. The plan will be financed by $3 billion of tax increases. According to my back-of-the envelope calculations, giving me that $1 billion will reduce the budget deficit by $2 billion.
Now, you may be tempted to say that giving me that $1 billion will not really reduce the budget deficit. Rather, you might say, it is the tax increases, which have nothing to do with my handout, that are reducing the budget deficit. But if you are tempted by that kind of sloppy thinking, you have not been following the debate over healthcare reform.
I'm not going to attack this particular point about PPACA, because others have done it already.
I do think, however, it needs to be pointed out that this is indicative of the alternate universe in which most of the mainstream GOP resides. In this alternate universe, tax increases are not a means to reduce the deficit. They point this out as if it's some sort of joke that you don't get. From Michele Bachmann's "tax cuts shouldn't be considered a deficit," to CUTGO, to the new slash-and-burn budget plan straight out of Paul Ryan's wet dream, it is clear that, in the mind of the modern GOP, the only path to a balanced budget is with spending cuts.
This is horribly unrealistic.
Any serious plan to take control of our budget situation must include an increase in our average tax rates. And that's no joke.Read More

Fine Print - September 2008
Theres a fellow living near Butner, where the federal government is considering building a germ-defense lab, who is prone to dress in a white suit and red cape with a large BS emblazoned on his chest. Hes Bio-Safety Man,and he must be a scary dude. Or at least a very persuasive one. Why else would more than a quarter-million dollars of public money have been temporarily earmarked to overcome his opposition to the lab?
Thats right: For a few weeks, your money was set to be deployed to counter what is apparently the game-changing power of a cranky activist dressed up like a cartoon superhero. Golden LEAF, the nonprofit that is custodian of a big chunk of the billions of dollars North Carolina ultimately will receive from the cigarette industry, had approved a $262,000 grant to supporters of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility, proposed for Granville County. Supporters say the money would have been used to educate the public about the lab. The educational campaign would have been fair and impartial. It would not have been used to sway, influence or otherwise affect public opinion. I will now pause to give readers a moment to compose themselves after their disbelieving hoots of laughter have subsided.
Are you back? OK, lets now ponder some of the delicious ironies of this situation not least among them the fact that money the tobacco industry had to cough up to the American public, as penance for being too good at marketing its wares, was set to be used for yet more questionable marketing. (And recall that cigarette makers used to educate consumers on the beneficial aspects of tobacco.) More delicious, though, was that the intended beneficiary of Golden LEAFs largesse the N.C. Biotechnology Center, which supports the construction of the biodefense lab decided it wouldnt be able to keep a straight face as it went about educating the public. In early August, it notified the foundation that it wouldnt accept the money after all, calling the terms onerous. Why, if the Biotech Center had to be neutral and balanced on the matter, the foundation could just keep its stinkin money.
Such is the swampy territory that lies ahead of any official who seeks to use public money to advocate one thing or another under the guise of education. A similar misstep occurred earlier this year when Orange County commissioners approved spending $100,000 to educate voters on the proposed land-transfer tax. But both the timing of the educational campaign and the questionable need for it made the effort seem more like advocacy than education. The campaign was clearly a response to a private effort, underwritten by the real-estate industry, to derail the transfer tax. Not to mention that the proposed tax was so straightforward that any education was pointless. Many taxpayers never quite grasped why the county needed $100,000 to explain this simple concept: When you sell your house, youre gonna give us a chunk of the proceeds. (Those well-educated voters overwhelmingly rejected the tax, by the way.)
But lets return to the Golden LEAF grant, which stands as a prime example of the blurry line that separates the appropriate use of public money in economic development from its inappropriate use. Long before the proposed germ lab turned into a contentious local issue, a number of organizations among them the Biotech Center had formed a consortium to lobby the federal government to put the lab in North Carolina rather than in Kansas, Georgia, Mississippi or Texas. On its face, that was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The Triangle is, after all, the states biotech center, and nothing says economic growth like having a whole bunch of well-paid scientists show up in town with moving vans trailing close behind. In short, this started out as simple business recruitment.
After the Biotech Center had applied for the foundation grant, however, public opposition grew louder and Bio-Safety Man donned his cape. By July, when Golden LEAFs board voted to award the grant, the atmospheric pressure had changed dramatically. What had once been a relatively benign and routine effort to recruit a government lab had become an apocalyptic face-off between citizen and scientist. It was PowerPoint vs. exclamation point, as the scientists and bureaucrats made their plodding arguments, and the activists responded with theirs: Pathogens in the air! Water supply threatened! Doom! Death! Destruction! When the news came, at the moment when the debate had reached its highest volume, that the foundation was going to give a quarter-million dollars to lab supporters to educate the public on this matter, you can imagine how that sounded to everyone else. Substitute brainwash for educate, and you get the idea.
One detail escaped notice, though. The foundation had approved the grant but not actually given the Biotech Center the money. That would come only when the center formally certified that it was serious about the campaign being a full and fair airing of all pertinent facts. The center had a one-word description of those terms: unacceptable.
After all, whats the point of educating citizens if they dont come around to your point of view?

So sure, if they add everything in the pipeline:
Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans: 4
EPIX: 3 (one is SD, right?)
I think all Epix (there are 4) are available in HD but no one carries them all in HD. In fact, maybe only Dish carries them all at all.
They could add just one or two Epix HD to start. Two would match what Fios has. And if they put it in the HD Pack or offer it as a lower priced premium, one would suffice. Add more later if it is successful and/or more bandwidth is available.
I don't know why we usually think all or nothing on these things.
A big key would be getting access to the Epix on line library. On Demand and streaming. There is a ton of programming from many, many decades.

Can berry cohabitation be far behind?
Can two berries become friends and even share an apartment? Why yes, because here you'll find hints of huckleberries and crisp white cranberries bantering playfully, while watching their favorite reruns, and coexisting harmoniously within the soft, silky texture of this light and delicate tea.
For Best Brewing
- Use one heaping teaspoon of loose leaves per 8 fl oz (236 ml) of 175F (80c) water.
- Let it steep for 3 minutes and wait for perfection.
White tea is the least processed of tea types and yields the lightest cup color and most delicate aroma and flavor. Purchased from a wide area of Southeast China, it requires very selective picking and handling of the young, dense tea buds.

Street Rodder Top 100Written by Chuck Vranas on March 26, 2014 Contributors: Chuck Vranas 62nd Detroit Autorama
Tony Lombardi | Niles, Ohio | 1930 Ford coupe
Hilton's built the coupe with details including Deuce 'rails, a '36 Ford dropped axle with hairpins, and Pete & Jake's shocks. Out back a Winters quick-change, '36 Ford radius rods, and Pete & Jake's shocks complete the chassis. The roof was chopped 4-1/2 inches, and the body coated in PPG Mandarin Maroon by Bad Donkee Hot Rods. Ross Racing Engines built the '57 Olds 371ci mill packed with a Dyers 4-71 huffer perched atop a Cragar intake spun by a Walden Speed Shop drive, wearing Ford 94-series carbs all linked to a T5 trans. Coker/Firestone rubber hits the street while inside Stewart-Warner gauges monitor the vitals.
Brad & Jason Pecka | East Grand Forks, Minnesota | 1951 Ford Tudor sedan
Brothers Brad and Jason started the build when they were 21 and 23 years of age. The Sikkens black sedan was treated to an IFS utilizing components from Fatman Fabrications while an 8-inch Ford rear resides out back linked to a triangulated four-link. The bagged stance is accented by American Racing Salt Flat Special wheels wrapped in Firestone rubber. A 239ci Ford Flathead V-8 wears Edelbrock heads combined with an Offenhauser intake topped by a 390-cfm Holley carb linked to a three-speed overdrive trans. Inside the restored dash is accented by a vivid red bench seat with matching carpets while the stock column shift is very cool.
Paul White | Portland, Maine | 1949 Chevy fastback
Radical customs always have a special allure. Back Bay Customs started with a 4-inch chop and 2-1/2-inch wedge cut to the hood and continued by channeling and sectioning the body, coating it all in Martin-Senour Nautic Blue gloss. A custom chassis supports a Heidts IFS along with a Ford 9-inch rear and four-link while RideTech 'bags set the stance. It packs plenty of power from a Chevrolet Performance ZZ430 crate V-8 breathing deep through a Holley 750-cfm carb wearing a custom air cleaner. Power moves through a GM 700-R4 trans to Budnik wheels topped with BFGoodrich rubber. A custom leather interior completes the look.
Tom & Pat Holmes | Omaha, Nebraska | 1948 Chevy pickup
This hauler had a special level of elegance by Top End Engineering. Starting with a custom frame, suspension duties are handled by a Heidts IFS while a custom designed rear suspension works seamlessly with 'bags from RideTech. Intro wheels capped with rubber from Kuhmo gets everything connected to the road. Countless body mods abound, including a 4-inch stretch through the doors and cab and flush headlights with '35 International lenses. Perfect fit and finish is accented by lustrous PPG green pearl while inside plenty of fine Italian leather blends with gauges from Classic Instruments and cool breezes by Vintage Air. There's plenty of go from a well-detailed Chevrolet Performance Ram Jet 502ci V-8.
Harley Tucker | Morgantown, Kentucky | 1939 Chevy coupe
If you dig Westergard-inspired customs, Jason Graham Hot Rods hit a home run. Body sculpting included a graduated 5-inch front to 6-inch rear chop, functional vent windows, modified hood, molded rear fenders, and custom skirts. Stance comes from a combination of RideTech 'bags with a TCI Engineering IFS and triangulated four-link out back. Coker/Firestone wide whites roll on steelies with bullet caps and rings. Custom-blended PPG Smoke vibe covers the body while a hopped-up Chevy 348ci mill topped with six Speedway Motors 9 Super 7 carbs look cool with one-off lake pipes. Inside maroon distressed leather mixes it up with a '60 Chevy dash, Classic Instruments, and an ididit column.
Gil Morgan | Dearborn, Michigan | 1967 Buick Riviera
Fullsize cars produced in the '60s were design marvels. The team at MVS (Motor Vehicle Solutions) took the factory lines and made numerous subtle enhancements, including shaving the door handles, setting the body gaps, and massaging the sheetmetal to perfection before laying down a dramatic coating of PPG Kona Blue. To set the attitude, RideTech suspension gets the job done while front disc and rear drum brakes add plenty of stop to 17-inch Rocket Racing wheels and Goodyear Eagle tires. A big car needs big performance so a 430ci Buick V-8 plants the power through a TH400 trans. For comfort a white bucket interior with factory floor shift makes long trips a breeze.
Cornell Haskins | District Heights, Maryland | 1956 Chevy Bel Air
One Off Rod & Custom added attention to detail on the build starting with an Art Morrison GT Sport chassis as a base, featuring tubular control arms with coilover shocks and triangulated four-bar rear suspension with coilover shocks. Wilwood disc brakes at each corner ease the speed while a set of Foose wheels with wearing Goodyear rubber move the power. The body was treated to a fine coating of PPG brown and tan while a big-block 454ci Chevy treated to lots of polish and chrome breathes deep through an Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carb linked to a 700-R4 trans. The interior wears a custom dash and console with plenty of taupe leather.
Mike Mondrella | Grand Rapids, Michigan | 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe
For just enough in the power department a well-detailed small-block 383ci Chevy sucks air through an Edelbrock carb while a TH350 trans moves the power rearward. Plenty of stopping power comes from disc brakes at each corner while classic BFGoodrich/Coker Silvertown wide whites mounted on chrome reverse rims look right at home. Inside there's a true combination of style and comfort, starting with a two-tone stitched bucket interior accented by cool temps from Vintage Air combined with an ididit column, banjo wheel and gauges from Classic Instruments. The body was finished in a wicked PPG Viper Red gloss to give it the final fire.
Cliff & Gwynna Waller | Lindale, TX | 1932 Ford three-window coupe
There's nothing more perfect than a well-executed Deuce. Here all the elements are in place starting with a 3-inch chop accented by a full hood, low-slung headlights, and right-on stance. The subtle color, a Wanda custom-blended gray-green, works especially well combined with pale yellow wires from Wheel Vintiques topped with Coker Excelsior rubber. The coupe features Fatman Fabrications chassis with a dropped Super Bell axle, hairpins and Lincoln drum brakes up front and a Ford 9-inch rear out back. Tires spin through a Chevrolet Performance 350ci V-8 topped with an Edelbrock Triple-Deuce intake wearing Edelbrock 94-series carbs. A bench seat interior is perfectly combined with Vintage Air and New Vintage Gauges.
Bill Meekins | Bel Air, Maryland | 1923 Ford roadster
Great modifieds are an exercise in simplicity. Bad Donkee Hot Rods nailed it starting with Deuce 'rails contoured to fit the Model T body, also bobbed in the front and kicked out back. A dropped Deuce axle with split '40 Ford 'bones work well with a matching '40 Ford rear and '36 Ford 'bones. The body and chassis were then doused in PPG black gloss. Punch comes from a 239ci Ford Flathead wearing an Offy two-deuce intake dumping gases through lake pipes. A '47 Ford truck three-speed trans moves power to '35 Ford wires wearing Coker/Excelsiors out back and Firestone/Coker ribbed tires out front. The Spartan interior is perfect.

Lincoln's Linke takes over as District 3's Rodeo Queen
Lincoln High School's Corrine Linke was selected as California High School Rodeo Association District 3's Rodeo Queen for 2013-14. Linke was officially crowned last Sunday.
A sophomore this year, Linke will assume the duties of queen as this year's monarch Tay Creeks prepares to graduate and move on to college rodeo. Linke said she is pleased to be picking up where Creeks will soon leave off.
"I'm looking forward to this year being queen," Linke said. "I hope everyone has a great year and I hope that we get a bunch of new kids here at rodeo."
Part of Linke's duties will be to promote high school rodeo, which offers students some outstanding prizes, including thousands of dollars in scholarship money. Linke also participates in pole bending, barrel racing and goat tying.
Creeks hopes to make it to the state championships where her high school career will end. However, she is planning to continue rodeo in college and has competed in pole bending and barrel racing as well.
Creeks plans to study equine science and horse training at Fear River College in Quincy. After two years there, she plans to transfer to Yuba College to study veterinarian technology for both large and small animals.
"I've had this plan since I was a little girl," the Golden Sierra High senior said. "I always knew what I wanted to do."
Creeks said she hopes to start her own business one day helping children with Down's syndrome and autism through horsemanship training.
"Some of the most memorable moments I'm going to reflect on are all the special rodeos I've helped and just seeing the smiles on those kid's faces," Creeks said recalling all the little girls who would come up to her and ask if they could wear her crown. "Just knowing I have that ability to make a difference in not only the rodeo but in the community."
Linke is also a swimmer and was one of the athletes who helped establish the Lincoln High swimming program. Her favorite subjects in school are English and history.
Linke said she used to watch the rodeo queens over the years and was drawn to the idea of becoming one. She liked the idea of promoting a sport she loves and making an even bigger impact on her community.
"I'm looking forward so much to being the queen to help create all these events that are going to help rodeo and encourage kids to come join rodeo" Linke said.
Creeks' advice to Linke was to learn to love the rodeo secretary. Creeks said the secretary was always a friend to her and helped her no matter what the challenge. She said the important thing was to have fun and enjoy the experience.
"I've been able to branch out and meet people in high school rodeo I didn't even know existed before I ran" said Creeks, who added she was Linke's age when she decided to compete for rodeo queen. "And just the experience of what you're going to be able to go through as rodeo queen this next year."
After Creeks crowned Linke, the new queen took her first ride around Lincoln Arena; a job she will perform many times next year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chris Brown's assault trial begins today. And there's more at stake for the singer than whether he punched a man outside a Washington D.C. hotel last fall.
A conviction could cost him additional penalties — including jail time — because of his 2009 beating of Rihanna.
At the time of his D.C. arrest, Brown was on probation in Los Angeles for that attack on his then-girlfriend. Brown entered anger management in California right after his Washington arrest.
But he was kicked out last month for violating rules. He has been jailed since.
Brown made a brief court appearance Friday, dressed in a suit and tie. He turned to wave at supporters in the courtroom, including his mom and Bow Wow, the rapper and actor.
By Tom Ramstack
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A judge on Monday found the bodyguard of singer Chris Brown guilty of assaulting a man outside a Washington hotel last October in a judgment likely to influence the trial of the R&B artist on the same charge.
Brown and his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, were arrested after both men allegedly punched the man, who was taking a photo without their permission.
Brown's trial for misdemeanor assault started on Monday minutes after District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn announced the guilty verdict for Hollosy. Both trials were held before a judge without a jury.
During Hollosy's trial, prosecution witnesses testified that on October 27, 2013 Brown punched 20-year-old Parker Adams, who then raised his hands, they said, in a defensive posture.
Holossy then punched Adams in the face, breaking his nose, they said.
"His stepping in was not justified," the judge said.
There was no evidence Adams was attacking either of the men, Wynn said.
"Mr. Brown did not have a right of self-defense," she said.
Hollosy's attorney claimed the bodyguard was merely doing his job of protecting Brown.
Shortly after Brown's trial started, his attorneys asked for a continuance, which was granted, to delay the proceedings until Wednesday.
They said they were seeking a way to persuade Hollosy to testify for Brown before the bodyguard is sentenced on June 25.
Hollosy, and Brown if convicted, face the possibility of six months in jail and $1,000 fines.
Neither Brown nor Hollosy testified in Hollosy's trial.
Brown has another hearing scheduled for Wednesday in Los Angeles to review whether he violated his probation after being convicted in 2009 of assaulting his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna.

Friday night football previews
When South Charleston started out the season 1-3, it left itself with little margin for error.
Even though one team sneaked into the Class AAA playoffs at 5-5 last year and 6-4 is usually good enough to qualify for a Mountain State Athletic Conference team, SC coach John Messinger felt like his squad had to win out in order to reach the postseason.
Well so far, it's been good for the Black Eagles (4-3), who have won three straight heading into tonight's 7:30 home game against Nitro (2-4). It marks the final game for SC at Oakes Field, as it plans to play at the field next to the high school in 2013.
"What we're trying to do,'' Messinger said, "is don't get rattled too much with pressure knowing what we have to do - and that's win out. As the weeks go by, there's a little more pressure and I hope we've prepared as well as we can.
"We're still pretty youthful. The last two weeks, we've gone with a freshman quarterback [Kentre Grier], a sophomore running back [L.K. Richmond], a couple young guys up front and defensively, we've started four freshmen.''
Messinger knows that Nitro presents a dangerous offense, especially with the pass-catch tandem of Chris Moody and Ethan Clark. Moody stands third in the MSAC in passing and Clark leads the league in receiving. In addition, Alex White has booted nine field goals, his longest 42 yards.
"We take this game very seriously,'' Messinger said. "We're not going to automatically come out and walk away with a win. We've got to play four quarters, or we'll get in trouble fast with this bunch. Ultimately, our goal is to win enough to get back in the playoff picture again, and we can't look forward to Week 9 or Week 10. We've got to look at Nitro.
"They block it real well and make it tough to get to that kid [Moody]. I think when [Nitro coach Derek Midkiff] gets his system in place and they have the time to learn it, they'll be in good position to turn that program around. I just hope it's not this week.''
Grier has replaced junior Jon Alexander, who made 14 straight starts at QB before being replaced. Alexander has since transferred to Hargrave Military Academy (Va).
In other games tonight involving area teams:
"Defense has been a big reason for our success,'' said Logan coach Gary Mullins, whose team has already shut out three opponents. "We thought we could be good on defense, but we had no idea it would be as good as it's been at this point. I don't think we had three shutouts in the previous eight years I've been here. It's really hard to lose a game when they score none.''

|State identifies 'Winnable Battles' to improve public health and environment
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recently identified 10 Winnable Battles that are key public health and environmental issues where progress can be made in the next 3-5 years.
Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medical officer for the department, said, "We selected these 10 Winnable Battles because they provide Colorado's greatest opportunities for ensuring the health of our citizens and visitors and the improvement and protection of our environment. All partners and stakeholders are needed and welcomed in helping address these Winnable Battles. With collective efforts, we can make a difference."
The identified 10 Winnable Battles for public health and the environment are:
1. Clean air
2. Clean water
3. Infectious disease prevention
4. Injury prevention
5. Mental health and substance abuse
6. Obesity
7. Oral health
8. Safe food
9. Tobacco
10. Unintended pregnancy
Urbina said, "Many public health and environmental health agencies at the local level already have embraced certain of these battles where they will be focusing some of their efforts in the next few years. In addition, we are working with our counterparts at the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to coordinate our efforts in these areas."
Many of Colorado's Winnable Battles align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Winnable Battles or are consistent with the Seven Priorities for EPA's Future, while others reflect Colorado's own unique priorities.
Reggie Bicha, executive director of the Colorado Department of Human Services, said, "The Department of Human Services looks forward to continuing our close partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment with all the winnable battles, particularly on providing excellent treatment services for mental health and substance abuse in Colorado."
"Health Care Policy and Financing programs intersect with many of the winnable battles," said Susan E. Birch, executive director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
"The majority of Coloradans covered by our programs are children. If kids do not have access to the preventive dental care they need, it can lead to generally poor health outcomes, affect their attendance at school and have lasting impacts later in life. Oral health has been and will continue to be an important focus of the department," said Birch.
"Colorado's local public health officials are excited to work with our many state agency partners to address the winnable public health battles. These state-level battles will help guide prioritization in our local communities and keep us connected to our neighboring agencies across the state," said Jeff Kuhr, public health director, Mesa County Health Department.
Urbina said, "Alignment of national, state and local efforts will allow for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. To make a difference, we need our schools/universities; workplaces/businesses/industries; state health care, human services, natural resources and transportation agencies; conservation/environmental groups; foundations; faith-based organizations; elected officials; and nonprofit organizations to be active participants in the Winnable Battles."
Many of Colorado's Winnable Battles were identified through current health data measurements. The department will continue to track this data, as well as other important data, as it moves ahead with strategies for improvement. Winnable Battle progress will be tracked by measuring health outcomes and environmental improvements associated with the specific strategies.
For complete background and information on the 10 Winnable Battles, please visit the department's website at http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/hs/winnable.html.

Univ of Iowa Gender Studies Professor Shrieks Obscenity At College Republicans
A Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies professor, actually. I know. I can't stop giggling at "gender and sexuality studies professor" either. Can you imagine paying, say, $200,000 to get a degree in something called gender and sexuality studies? I must meet the people who do that, because I've got a nice bridge to sell them.

hi GZidar, welcome to the guild :9
Please read the sticky about map requests, that way you'll make it easier for people to see what you need and if they can supply it
Hello there, I am looking for somebody to design a map for a fantasy world I have in my head and which is being used in a novel I am writing. I have some reasonably general views about what I am looking for and have a hand drawn city map (really basic) which I would really like to see coverted to digital form - using Campaign Cartographer or photoshop or whatever tool the designer is most comfortable.
The general details of the world can be found at http://www.assassins.org.au and I am more than happy to answer any questions you have.
I would really like to see this get off the ground as it is something that I think is really important to making sure my stories are consistent and besides - who doesn't like an awesome map
PLEASE NOTE: The continent and city map have been taken.
I am not really sure how much something like this would normally cost but I would be comfortable paying $100 USD for good quality maps that I can use on my website as well as in a series of stories.
In essence the style of the map could be similar to a map in Joe Abercrombie's "Best Served Cold". The link below shows what I mean (thanks dain for finding them)
Continent Map
City Map
Ideally I would really hope we could get the map done before the end of July or early August. I am very flexible with the timeframe and I am not really sure how long it normally takes so if that doesn't suit then please let me know and we can agree on a date that suits us both.
I had in mind an area that is roughly equivalent to Europe, Southern Russia and the Middle East and North Africa. There are three main political entities in that part of the world, one is a loose collection of separate states that have mutual protection treaties (they occupy) the Europe part, the second is a tightly governed empire that spans the east this would be in the southern russia middle-east part and another powerful kingdom to the south of both of those which is in the North African part.
For the city I have a general regional map of that area and a very rough hand drawn map of the city itself which I can make available.
Ideally the map would be suitable for printing - I am not really thinking high colour but it should look good on screen as well as in print.
Vector would be preferable since that can be scaled more easily than raster but I am not being proscriptive - whatever tool you are most comfortable using is great.
I would like to have reproduction rights and to use the map for commercial purposes but have specific desire to own the copyright to the map itself. I have the names of some of the key places and names of the general regions so I don't know how that translates to the copyright question but in short as long as we can both use it without restriction then that suits me.
Contact Details:
You can contact me via the website I have included at the top of the post.
I hope that this information is useful in allowing you to decide if you are interested in taking this on. If you need more details please let me know and I'll update the post to include anything that might be missing.
PLEASE NOTE: The continent and city map have been taken..

Hi tilt
I have just read the sticky and will now edit the first post and add the missing details. Thanks for the quick response and for pointing me in the right direction.
After a few minutes, I found these maps on the web.
Are they the ones you were taking as reference? It'll save time for people who want to jump into the job
Like Dain I made to do a bit of searching to get some idea what you were talking about and came up with the same images.
Those are hand drawn and even if I could do that, I'd charge a lot more than 100 USD for that much work, especially if you get the copyright or unrestricted rights to re-use it.
Fortunately, I cheat. I work in Inkscape, a vector graphics program, and apply a bunch of tricks to make it look like a pen and ink drawing where everything was hand drawn, when it's really a collection of lines and symbols. It is possible to tell it's fake by looking closely, particularly at consistency of line widths, symbol repetition, and text, but it's much less work and therefore less expensive.
I'd be willing to do the continent map for 100 USD. City maps aren't really something I've done so I can't help you there; I certainly couldn't pull off anything remotely like the "Valley of Osrund" map
Hello Hai
Thanks for your reply. What you have described sounds perfect, a hand drawn look but done in a vector tool. I had a look at the map you did called "The_Yawning_Strai&" and it is just the thing I had in my mind so I would love to work with you on the continent map.
What happens now?
Well, to start, post a couple more messages so you can get private messaging enabled. Then we can work out the details either there, or we can exchange email addresses out of view of the spam bots and continue off the forum. If you have an XMPP account (Google Talk, LJ Chat, Jabber, etc) you could contact me at xmpp:firstname.lastname@example.com (which is not an email address)What happens now?
I'm new to this whole commissioning thing myself; the closest I've done is contract work as a programmer (and I only did that once) so I'll try to use that as a model.
Hello Hai
my email address is vesper - at - assassins - dot - org - dot - au (need to replace the - at - and the - dot - with @ and . where appropriate)
Look forward to hearing from you
Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that this has been taken. Thankyou to everyone who showed an interest and for the quick response times

Hi All,
Before I ask the question, let me apologize to VMW, yes I know you have geared ZCA to VMW, but, I have shovel loads of full blown Citrix boxes, and I do not know (or have even seen a crosgrade offer for citrix > VMW), so sorry
OK, so now the question, have Citrix XEN Essential servers, from what I read and could be wrong, I am assuming ZCA will only work on VMW?
The ZCA is the best suit for us, we only have 8 bods and this will be for internal use, rather than a service, the full blown ZCS with mobile and archiving is just not economical for under 25 users. (yes I know archiving is not in ZCA, but, at least mobile is )
ZIM will you add archiving as an option to ZCA, that or, will you make a smaller ZCS for 10 users with all the bells and whistles?

Addas polow (Persian rice pilaf and lentils)
- < 30 mins
- Medium
- Middle Eastern
- Serves 6-8
This dish is loosely based on a recipe from Margaret Shaida's excellent cookbook, The Legendary Cuisine of Persia.
Tony Tan recalls that Melbourne's Shakahari restaurant showed how the spices of Asia and Africa could be used to breathe life into staples such as lentils and rice. Tan's Persian pilaf, pictured. Photo: Marina Oliphant
500 g basmati rice, washed
120 g green lentils
1/2 tsp turmeric
100 ml vegetable oil
60 g sultanas, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes
120g stoned dates, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 cm cinnamon stick
2 tbsp clarified butter
1 bunch spinach, stemmed, washed, blanched and dried
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
crisp-fried shallots to garnish
Soak the washed rice in water for about two hours. In a separate container, soak the lentils for one hour. Drain, cook lentils in a saucepan with sufficient water to cover until tender, about five minutes. Add salt to taste and drain well. Set aside.
Drain water from the rice and add to a pot and cover with fresh water 2cm above the rice. Add turmeric and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn heat to very low, cover pot and transfer to a simmer mat and leave to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave another five minutes. Uncover and fluff gently with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan, add the oil and briefly fry the dates with the sultanas. Remove with a slotted spoon and put aside. In the same oil, fry onions, garlic and cinnamon over gentle heat until fragrant. Remove and toss with date mixture.
Before serving, heat clarified butter and fry spinach briefly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix rice gently with lentils, date mixture, spinach, garnish liberally with fried shallots and serve.
* Can be served as one of a selection of dishes. See Tony Tan's Rajasthani watermelon curry recipe.

I am attempting to connect the generic J2ME ZME client on a Sanyo 700 Pro (Sprint) to our Zimbra server version 5.0.15.
The client is hitting the server as it is returning an untrusted SSL certificate as it should. I click accept and then the client remains at the "logging in" stage indefinitely.
Is there a solution to this? Are there specific J2ME configurations required for ZME to work? The device is a MIDP 2.0 with the MIDP 2.0 Security framework enabled.
Thoughts or ideas?

I have zimbra installed and running on port 8888 and admin on 7071. I also intend to use this server as a version control service, and have also installed a seperate copy of apache2 as well as subversion.
The problem I am having is when I try and set up passwords using htpasswd and other utilities that need security (ssl?). I get an error referencing the zimbra installation of cyrus-sasl that "no version information available" and that it could not be completed.
Has anyone seen this and dealt with it before, or have suggestions on how to rectify it?

Kyle Marshall is a captain of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's National Concrete Canoe Competition team. He has been involved in the contest for three years.
Q: How did Cal Poly do in your regional competition in April?Cal Poly competed against 16 other teams to win ASCE's Pacific Southwest Regional Conference (PSWRC). Now we're looking forward to competing in the national competition in June.
Q: What's your record?Cal Poly has taken 1st place at the PSWRC for 13 of the past 15 years. In the national competition, our concrete canoes have won 2nd (2006), 5th (2007), and 4th place (2008).
Q: Who's on Cal Poly's team?Our team has six captains to ensure equal distribution of responsibilities: one project manager (Kyle Marshall), two construction captains (Gary Welling & Meggie O'Hagan), and three mix design captains (Nic Capuchino, Sheila Shideh, & Greg Stone).
Six captains' assistants play vital roles in the design-build process, and ensure transfer of knowledge and methods for future years
More than 50 Cal Poly ASCE members helped place concrete during fabrication days.
Q: Can students participate more than once?Students can compete as registered participants for three years.
Q: How much time do students spend on the contest?A total of 4600 hours went into the creation of the 2009 Cal Poly Concrete Canoe, "Vintage."
[Editor's note: Engineering students participate in the NCCC on a volunteer basis. They do not always receive course credit for their work.]
Q: What unique features give your canoe an edge?Vintage showcases a plethora of unique features including sandblast recessed colored slurried tiles, pre-cast colored tiles, elaborate staining, and recessed concrete graphics. Innovative features include a post-tensioning system with incorporation of a carbon sequestering cementitious material into the concrete mixture.
Q: How did you come up with the theme for your canoe?San Luis Obispo County is home to a flourishing wine country. "Vintage" (the name of the canoe) captures this local heritage through its aesthetic attributes. The elaborate mural on the hull depicts local wineries through acid stains. The sandblast recessed colored slurried tiles depict the wine making process from nose to tail, grapes to glass. The gunwales encompass recessed concrete graphics with the name of the canoe, and clean, fine lines contribute to its aesthetic appeal.

Con2r/Helix Steering Install - Steering AidWritten by on October 6, 2011 Con2r/Helix Steering Install
On a 40-plus year-old truck some parts are bound to wear out or need to be replaced. Whether it is for the improvement of the truck or just for styling, it's good to know that the automotive aftermarket has us classic truck lovers covered. Such is the case with the Steering column on my '68 F-100.
While I was busy installing the Fatman IFS a few months back, I realized that I wanted to upgrade the steering. I was tired of the gigantic OEM steering wheel and wanted to install a floor shifter at a later date, so a new column was in order.
After looking at a thousand photos and websites for just the right steering wheel and column combination, I decided that I would take matters into my own hands and turn to a company out of Oregon by the name of Con2r.
I first learned about Con2r and its custom-designed wheel program a few months ago and was more than intrigued to see what could be done with it. One night while chillin' at home, I hopped onto the Con2r website. In about a half-hour of pouring over the well over 250,000 combinations that Con2r's online wheel designer made available to me, I had the wheel of my dreams designed using Con2r's Pomona wheel as a starting point. I was able to choose just about every aspect of the wheel including the offset, front and rear grip, spokes, spoke color, spoke trim, and even the horn button.
Once the wheel was designed to my specs in cyberspace, the crew at Con2r took my digital diagram and turned it into reality. My new custom wheel showed up at the CCT headquarters in less than two-weeks time. It was exactly what I had planned it to be and it was very exciting to actually see exactly what I dreamt up online in my very own hands.
Now that I had the wheel, a suitable column was in order. I wanted simple chrome one with no shifter or key since I was going floor shift and the ignition is on the dash. Our friends at Helix offered up the correct column and a trip to Mooneyes scored the right adapter as well as a bit more chrome by way of an adapter cover. With my pile of parts lying in wait, all that was left it to pull the old wheel and column combo out and install the new ones, which I did. Here's how it was done. CCT
How Con2r Wheels come to be
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
I hopped onto Con2r's website and designed a wheel that greatly complemented the interior of my truck.The stock steering column has the upper mount spot welded to it is, so we has to remove it with the help of a drill bit.Using the other upper and lower stock Ford hardware, the Helix column was installed with no issues at all.We are going to be rewiring the truck in a future issue of CCT, so we aren't going to worry about hooking up the turn signals or high beam switch at this point.
With less than an hour's work, the new wheel and column were successfully living the high life in the cab of my truck. Talk about an immense improvement.Once a customer steering wheel design is determined, components are prepped and staged for assembly.

G&T Crazy
Thanks to all. That was my fourth time in Colorado unit 67 this year. While driving home I think I know how a big buck took advantage me. He was near the lake with another buck and nine does and fawns. I had put him to bed the evening before season opened and just had that feeling, I would never see him again.Opening morning It was 9 degrees with 10mph wind and my vantage point was shaded. Finally I decided to walk the entire mountian, nothing, I never found the does. As luck has it, I stalked from a mile and a half on a single deer I thought was a buck, at 735yds I could see six deer and two were so huge they needed horns. I wouldn't shoot from that far so I got to a rock on a clift that I could take rest on and make a steady 550yd down hill shot, to see better I took off my glasses and forgot them .Not a buck to be found. Next day I went back, found the glasses and while driving by the lake there were the 9 doe so my best guess is the bucks were between the lake and the top. That is the only spot I didnt look, too obvious.

Still a nice buck to take home. Big bucks don't get big by being stupid. The only time they really lose their focus on staying alive is during the rut. Seen it lots around here in the apple orchards. During the rut they only have one thing on their minds, thats why lots of the units here in Colorado are closed before it starts.

That's a great buck. I also like to keep zone potential in mind year round, the bigguns never show until the rut. Never a bad idea to check out the herd while the bucks have their guard down.
Got the gross score and it was 180.5 which pleased me.
heckuva buck.
Was that Cali hunter in a tan 4wd Chevy?
No he was in one awesome elevated Jeep if I remember it was black, four of them with one license.
Thank you. We kept running into a group of 4 (w/ 1 license) in a tan chevy and lost track of them the last couple days of the season. I was hoping they left the area early because they found something good to shoot.

Season of Light: Some Holiday Favorites
Our father's parents were Polish Jews. Our mother's were Christian missionaries in Sierra Leone. Our cousins Cindy and Lucy Ann were Colombian American and our cousins Sonia and Evelyn were Liberian American. We had some crazy celebrations back in the day.
My Recommendations for the Winter Holidays
This hadn't been published when I was a kid, but we got it as a present after my kids were born. Stories for Children by Isaac Bashevis Singer has some terrific Chanukah stories for older kids. (No pictures--but you can use your imagination. A good alternative if you think you're too old for picture books.)
Best Chanukah Song (According to Me)
I'm pretty sick of "I Had a Little Dreidl." My new favorite Chanukah song, which is in Ladino, is "Ocho Kandelikas." Listen to it on one of these CD's:
Capote Christmas
I discovered A Christmas Memory when I was a twenty-something. Truman Capote writes about making fruitcake with his eccentric older cousin (a lady in her sixties) in Alabama. It's also a movie, with Patty Duke.
Southern/Welsh Holiday
Since I'm from the South, I do like stories about eccentric Southerners. (The best kind.) So I'm going to read these accounts this year:
- Nothing with Strings: NPR's Beloved Holiday Stories by Bailey White.
- My Mom Loved A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas. And I like it partly because of my Welsh name. You can get it from the San Mateo County Library in several editions: Candlewick Press, Holiday House, and illustrated. It is also available as a book on CD, read by the author (the way I remember it).
Opera for the Season
Every year after we got a TV, we used to watch Amahl and the Night Visitors, an opera by Gian Carlo Menotti, with our Mom. I don't even like opera, but I liked that. (I thought it was a musical, like Guys and Dolls.) Read the book (for children). Listen to the original cast album.
Just Don't Choose!
This is a cool picture book that doesn't force you to choose one side or the other of your family or neighbors:
Elijah's Angel: A Story for Chanukah and Christmas by Michael J. Rosen; illustrated by Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson.
No matter how you spell it, it's a fun holiday. The little girl in this picture book visits her aunt, who celebrates Chanukah (or Januca) the Mexican way: Hanukkah Moon by Deborah da Costa ; illustrated by Gosia Mosz.
Most of our Kwanzaa books are for kids. But maybe you're an adult who always meant to celebrate Kwanzaa, but didn't know how? Try one of these:
- Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture by Maulana Karenga.
- How to Celebrate the African American Holiday Kwanzaa [DVD]
