Ok, my initial idea was to create an abandoned temple to a sea godess, that was taken over by Sahuagin...
Now, my initial thought was for a fairly decrepit thing, half inundated...
Now, the end result is actually in a much better shape than that initian thought...
I might revisit it at some point, however, but right now, this is the result as it stands...
Ideas and suggestion are welcome and, as usual, furniture elements come from Dundjinni...
Hi there - I love your columns - I think they look really great. Also your wave mosaic is very lovely indeed - I like how the mosaic and columns are nice and big, and that the map in general is quite simple and not too cluttered.
For the decrepit version (if you don't mind me offering my opinion) I'd consider toning down the saturation of the entire piece significantly (particularly of the grass, bush and desks), then adding some bluish-green (rather than greenish) water over. This might help to reduce the 'cartoonish' effect. Adding some ripples might also make the water look more watery. The only other thing is a line of green pixels along the length of the right-hand fallen column which looks very pixelated and should be fixed.
It's looking very nice.
If you want to get really technical about it, the water would go up the grout lines a bit farther than where it stops along the tiles do to absorption and the fact that a grout line is a lower than the tile surface. Very minor detail but true, unless everything is really waterproof which for an indoor space would be unlikely. I'm just pointing out a really small detail so feel free to ignore it.
What is the feel you are going for here? Is it a happy place with the sun shining down that has just been abandoned or are you heading for a darker scarier feel? The reason I ask is because to me the coloring seems fairly..I dunno...friendly maybe?
You could add in some rubble around where the columns are busted up and to show some wall erosion but it depends on how long entropy has been at work.
Maybe I've given you a couple ideas to add in but either way, keep up the good work!
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
Hi Simon, yes its an improvement, though I would have de-saturated the map a LOT more (desks are still way too reddish and bush too green/red; grass is looking better though). The colours still clash to my eyes. One thing to consider is your purplish floor tiles. Purple+Blue/green=brown. Please note that I have very odd views on colour and that you should ignore all this advice completely.
Also you have two types of water on your map: the nice clear blue water, now flooded by the yucky green water. This is a bit confusing - I recommend removing the nice clean water completely from the flooded map.
Getting rid of the column pixelation improves the map - well done. Also the ripples are pretty good, but I have an idea for you water. Rather than using a block shade to represent your water, why not use a 50% opacity water image. To do this, do as follows (based on you using GIMP, as you note in your profile):
1) google images 'water texture'. This gives you a LOT of options. Pick one (or if you prefer pick 2 and overlay them). For example, this one http://th08.deviantart.net/fs11/PRE/...e_by_Jshei.jpg or this one http://www.soultravelmultimedia.com/...er-Texture.jpg are similar to your orginal greenish dirty water.
2) Go to the largest version of that image and then either right-click and 'save as .png/.jpg' to your desktop and then bring it into your temple map, or else 'copy image' then paste it into your map.
3) Scale the water image/rotate the water image until it covers the temple - note don't worry about using this as a 'texture'. Reduce opacity to c. 50% or whatever. Do NOT delete the bits you don't want yet.
4) Find your existing water layer. Place this new water layer directly below it. Don't delete your old water layer yet.
5) Add layer mask to water layer. Make this BLACK.
6) Select your old water layer and ALPHA TO SELECTION, then select the new layer mask of the new water layer and FILL WITH WHITE. Now you can delete your old water layer.
7) Run a GAUSSIAN BLUR (Filters menu) at c. 100 pixels on the black and white layer MASK (not the image of the water!)
Adjust opacity and decide how it looks. At this point you can delete the water image and replace with another ones, to try a bunch out. Also use the HUE/SATURATION option to play with the colour.
Thanks guys for the very good advices!
Here, I tried to take everything into account...
The central water pool is needed as the Sahuagin reinforcement will come from there (it connects to the deeper sea and, when the temple was active it was used for propitiatory sacrifices).
The place is mostly neutral, it used to be the temple of a neutral divinity of nature and, when the humans move away, the Sahuagins move in. Still, these creatures are not all that evil. Violent and cruel, to be sure, but not metaphysically evil as demons would be...
Its really cool...but maybe some shadows on the objects to give us a sense of depth.

Huge improvement - great job. I like how you've allowed the water to lap up the bottoms of the columns. The entire focus of the map has shifted since your first one: the first map was too busy colourwise and my eyes were drawn to the edges of the map. Now, my eyes are instantly drawn to the flooded temple - A + + +!
That looks great !! The map really sets a scene and it has a great feel. Have some rep

High school football roundup: Poca ends season with loss to Tolsia
Tolsia scored the game's first two touchdowns and never trailed in defeating Poca 32-14 in the teams' regular-season finale Friday night at Poca's O.O. White Stadium.
Tolsia (5-5) grabbed the early lead as Dakota Robertson scored on a one-yard touchdown run and Brandon Ward broke through the Poca defense for a 56-yard touchdown.
Poca's Hayden Bailey answered for the Dots in the second quarter with a one-yard touchdown to cut the Rebel lead to 13-6 at halftime.
Tolsia's Dawson Presley extended the lead with a five-yard touchdown, but Jake Payne found Bailey for a 56-yard touchdown strike to keep the Dots (2-8) in contention.
But Presley, who finished with 124 rushing yards on 21 carries, sealed the victory in the fourth quarter with touchdown runs of six and two yards.
For Poca, Payne threw for 152 yards on 12-of-22 passing with no interceptions.
The teams combined for 11 fumbles. Tolsia put the ball on the ground four times and lost three, and the Dots lost four of seven.
Walton caught TD passes of 36 and 10 yards from Aden Yates, who completed 7 of 9 passes for 87 yards. Walton, who had 53 yards in receptions, scored on runs of 10 and 42 yards. Griffin added a 70-yard scoring run, and Yates threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brycen Reymond.
Point Pleasant (8-2) entered the game at No. 12 in Class AAA and expects to open the playoffs on the road. Chapmanville ended the season at 4-6.
Chapmanville's Dashawn Alexander rushed for 45 yards on 12 carries, and quarterback Max Spradlin completed 6 of 12 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown.
"It was ugly,'' said Hoover coach Tim Meyer. "They got after us right from the get-go. That's a good Mingo team, and they just outplayed us.''
Hoover, which trailed 36-0 at halftime, moved inside the Mingo 10 in the third quarter but lost the ball on a fumble.
Mingo Central (5-5) entered the game at No. 20 in Class AA.
Williamstown (6-4) entered the game tied for No. 17 in Class A.
Tracewell carried seven times for 42 yards for the Yellowjackets and completed four passes for 33 yards. David Hastings rushed six times for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
Hunter Bradley was 14 for 22 for 248 yards passing, including a 15-yard strike to Tyler King in the third quarter for Class AA No. 9 Roane County (6-4). Bradley has more than 1,000 yards passing this season.
It was the first overtime game in the long history of the rivalry.
Ripley's Jake Martin connected on 9 of 23 passes for 145 yards and a pair of touchdown strikes to Kade Harrison. Harrison had two receptions for 73 yards.
Devon Crews carried 25 times for 166 yards and two touchdowns for the Red Devils (2-8). Ripley finished at 5-5.
Chris Marcum connected on 9 of 24 passes for 124 yards for the Wildcats (7-3). Robert Bias was the leading rusher for Class AA No. 6 Scott (7-3) with 15 carries for 80 yards.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Marian Gaborik capped his hat trick just 27
seconds into overtime to give the New York Rangers their first win of the
season, a 4-3 triumph over the Boston Bruins.
In the extra session, Andrew Ference couldn't handled a pass at the right
point and the puck slid into the neutral zone.
Gaborik tapped it ahead and caught up to the puck in the Boston end. His first
shot was stopped, but he banged the rebound out of mid-air for his 14th
career hat trick.
Taylor Pyatt scored the other goal while Henrik Lundqvist stopped 26 shots for
the Rangers, who avoided a second straight three-loss start to a campaign.
Milan Lucic, Nathan Horton and Brad Marchand all scored for the Bruins, who
failed in their bid for their first 3-0 start since 2001-02. Tuukka Rask
gave up all four goals on 33 shots.

We had an issue with our Zimbra server today. Our disks filled up and so we deleted 400 Meg of space and then shutdown the zimbra server. LDAP would not stop so they killed the process with a kill -9 and when we broght zimbra back up, one of the domains (the main one) was gone.
I can log in as a user and see all of the email, but, I can not log into the admin console on :7071 and we cannot recieve any email from the outside world.
If we do a "zmprov getalldomains" brought back all domains except for the main one. If we try to create another admin user in the domain, it comes back with a "ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_DOMAIN (no such domain: )".
Can we re-add the domain, at the cli, back into the system and still get to the mailboxes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is our production email server

Hello, I'm trying to import ics files, and I'm attempting a little experiment. I issued the following command to export a calendar from zimbra:
Then I try to re-import the calendar with this command:Code:curl http://zimbraold.saintmarys.edu/zimbra/user/hideg/calendar > test.ics
as shown on the Wiki's User Migration page.Code:curl -u hideg:<passwd> --data-binary ./test.ics http://zimbraold.saintmarys.edu/zimbra/user/hideg/calendar?fmt=ics
When I do this, I get the following exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: parse error: Caught ParseException parsing calendar: net.fortuna.ical4j.data.ParserException: Expected [BEGIN], read [./test.ics] at line 1
It seems as though zimbra can't even import its own exported calendars.
Has anybody encountered this error? Any ideas how to avoid this problem?
Is this a known bug? etc.

Speaker: Kevin Hosozawa, Tivoli System z Storage Management Product Manager, IBM Software Group
Broadcast Date: December 5, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, 4:00 p.m. GMT / UTC
Out-of-control storage growth is putting a heavy load on many storage administrators — from the management of complex, multi-vendor heterogeneous IBM® System z® storage devices, to resolving performance bottlenecks with little visibility into the storage environment. Without an increase in budget or staff, it's also becoming more difficult to minimize outages and manage changes in the storage environment.
Join us for this complimentary teleconference as we review all the recent new capabilities in the Tivoli® System z Storage Suite, including integrated z/OS® storage management capabilities — visibility, control and automation — for the storage administrator. The suite can provide z/OS storage management awareness into application and workload management, enabling a more efficient process that helps reduce costs and fosters efficiency in problem identification and resolution.
The IBM Tivoli Advanced Storage Management Suite for z/OS, V1.1 delivers a feature-rich storage management, audit and reporting software suite that includes:
- IBM Tivoli Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm V2.4
- IBM Tivoli Advanced Reporting and Management for DFSMShsm V2.4
- IBM Tivoli Advanced Catalog Management for z/OS, V2.4
- IBM Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management V3.2
You'll learn how the new capabilities in this suite can improve storage availability and performance at a lower cost.
Join us after the teleconference for a live question-and-answer session. The teleconference will also be available for replay after the event.

OREGON (WIFR) -- Going "green" is a concept Oregon High School students will not only be learning about, but living, as their school hosts a "solarbration" Thursday, August 30th, starting at 3:30 pm in the high school library.
This celebration of clean energy is tied to the installation of five solar panels at Oregon High School this summer. There was no cost to local taxpayers as the school district was awarded two grants, one from the Illinois Clean Energy Foundation and the second from the Solar Star Foundation that covered installation costs. The new solar panels are even expected to lower the high school's overall energy costs.
The "solarbration" presentation will focus on upcoming class activities tied to clean energy at both Oregon High School and Oregon Elementary. Teachers from both schools will be the featured speakers and will discuss what lessons students can learn from environmentally- friendly technology.
All are welcome to attend the "solarbration" at Oregon High School, 210 South Tenth Street, inside the school's library.
For more information please contact Bob Ryder at KMK Media Group at 815-399-2805.

Call for wind award nominations
Western is calling for nominations for the 2011 Wind Cooperative of the Year Award now through Feb. 13 to honor one electric cooperative for its leadership and investments in wind power.
All electric cooperatives in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, a national service organization for more than 900 not-for-profit electric providers, are eligible to apply. Nominations are due to Randy Manion at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"This is one of the most effective technology transfer activities because it inspires other cooperatives to investigate wind energy opportunities in and adjacent to their service territories," said Manion, Western's Renewable Resource Program Manager.
The winner will be recognized at the 2012 National Rural Electric Cooperative Association TechAdvantage Conference in San Diego, Calif., March 8. Last year's winner was Minnkota Power Cooperative, a Western customer located in Grand Forks, N.D.
For more information or to nominate a cooperative, visit http://www.repartners.org/#windcoop11.

Mike Breen just posted a schedule of events on the music blog, so I won't do that here, but the schedule goes something like this: Mark Mallory, The Breeders, speeches, Natalie Portman, The National. I know people are really excited about seeing The National and The Breeders, for free, on a lovely autumn evening. And I know people are really excited about Barack Obama.
But I'm really excited about Natalie Portman.Yes, Natalie Portman. At first I had to ask myself, why is she here? Is she just such an avid Obama supporter that she'll fly to random rallies? Did she have some sort of layover at CVG and had to get out of the airport Max & Erma's? Is she really bored? No. Maybe not. I did some Google research to get to the bottom of this conundrum and I learned that her mother, Shelley, is from Cincinnati. That makes more sense ... especially if Nat Port really likes The National, like most girls do. And we are a swing state.
Another thing that most girls like, besides croony sort of bands, is finding out what beautiful celebrities look like in real life. Sure, with the right lighting and hours of hair and makeup, anyone can look good. I mean you've seen those horrid photos of "celebrities without makeup" in gossip magazines. A majority of them look sub-par, to put it gently. And the paparazzi generally gets shots of these unmade women when they're about to take a bite of their salad or right after they ran like four miles, so that's to be taken into consideration, but still. Women like to compare themselves to other women. That's why that stupid "Celebrities are Just Like Us" thing is so popular in People or Us or whatever it's in. Madonna grocery shops? So do I!
But putting all that nonsense aside, Natalie Portman seems amazing, talented, smart and beautiful. She's a great actress who makes intelligent fashion choices and doesn't make a spectacle of herself. She has sassy hair and great skin. All in all, I take her very seriously as a normal person, which is a feeling I don't have about most celebrities. In general, I think celebrities are gawdy drunk drivers who spend too much money on sunglasses.
I'm looking forward to hearing what Natalie has to say. I feel like Queen Padme Amidala must have come this far to deliver a serious message to our people. And I'm looking forward to seeing what she's wearing. I also want to see how tall she is. I bet she's pretty adorable.
View photos of the event on Fountain Square here.
Fall makes me want to get all bundled up to go poking around outside to look at natural things like changing leaves. My roommate just went up to Circleville for the annual pumpkin festival which inspired me to have some wholesome fall fun of my own. I made two of my friends wake up earlier than they wanted to on a Sunday morning so we could trek out to Milford and go to Rouster's Apple House.
Editor's Note: We here at the CityBeat editorial staff figured it would be an alright idea to allow one of our summer interns, Bobby Goodwin, to leave his post for a couple days and go out on assignment to fulfill his life's dream of attending the Bonnaroo Music Festival, provided he write a highly detailed chronicle of his misadventures in a series of four blogs. So we wished him godspeed, and off he went. Bobby really lets it go off the rails in this, the third installment of what transpired.
White Castle is the oldest fast-food burger joint in the country, serving up savory, moist cardboard-like mini sandwiches for 90 years. That's right, back when people enjoyed a night of Prohibition-grade bathtub gin, they could wash it down with some sliders.

Here's part one of what transpired.
Mac's Pizza Pub is the greatest bar on earth. I seriously can't get enough of it. When it first opened and no one really went there, it was great. Now that there are a ton of college kids in there, it's still great. The drinks are whatever. No better or cheaper than anywhere else, but they do have Strongbow on tap, which is crisp and delicious. And the food is actually not bad.
Go here to read part one.
Somehow Saturday morning Jeff and I woke up bright and early. Flavor Flav must have sprinkled some magic dust on us the night before, because we weren't our usual hungover pieces of shit, writhing under covers 'til noon. For this special occasion, we headed to the famous Loveless Motel & Cafe (8400, Tennessee 100, Bellevue), a comfort food mecca and Nashville landmark. Hundreds of country musicians and otherwise famous humans hung their hats here when it was a hotel and have stopped in for grub since it's been a restaurant (seriously, there are countless autographed head shots covering every square inch of the walls).
Nightmare Season is upon us as AMC's chilling zombie show The Walking Dead returns. A record-setting 7.3 million viewers tuned in last night to see Rick, Lori, Shane and the gang continue their apocalyptic journey.
So we gave Mixx Ultra Lounge a kind of shitty review when they first opened but this bar/sushi joint/plush-carpeted elevator ultra lounge offers a night life experience like no other place in this city. I went on Friday (12/19) for the Common listening party and was really surprised at how comfortably crowded and friendly it was in there. There are currently three floors although they plan on opening a fourth and fifth (that's where the "ultra" part comes in). There's a sushi bar, drinks and standing room on the first floor, a wooden bar and DJ area on the second and the third floor is for private VIP use (from what I gathered). The coolest part of the whole place is an old elevator they turned into a lounge area. Check out some photos from the Common listening party below and click here or on the image above to enter a full gallery.

I need two fairly decent maps for my 2 completed fantasy novels. These will be inserted into the Kindle version on Amazon but I am sure any future publisher will make maps for me. So they are to be of passing quality. I have made the two maps myself with fair detail but I am a terrible artist. I hope the books will sale and I would be happy to pay something when they do. Let's work it out.
First map is a limited map of an area about 1" = 10 miles.
Second map is continent size about 1" = 300 miles
I will attach here pdfs of both maps if interested.
I can't speak to style exactly because I suspect someone here would have many better ideas than I could.
Also, though the continent map I made has many labels, the finished one would not need so many.
I can be contacted at email@example.com

I presently use Mediacom.mchsi as an e-mail client and am starting a business which which will run Ubuntu and am interested in the Zimbra desktop.
I've used Ubu for several years now and "kind of" can sometimes install a tar.
I d/ld the .tgz to the desktop and extracted.
In terminal I tried chmod and nothing happened.
The instructions that I was reading, from a year ago or so, said don't use root, but I tried it anyway and it said that it was not going to install but that it WAS going to remove what looked to be a lot of e-mail "stuff".
This is the latest up to date Ubu 10.10 and there should not be stuff being removed unless other stuff is going to be installed but we will let that go.
I then found the info here on the forums, particularly this thread:
There is also a thread by danwoodward to which I replied but nothing appeared so after 20 minutes or so I decided to make a post.
So...i did that and then I clicked the install.pl file and got the terminal installer, went through the Eula etc. It said it was going to install in opt/zimbra/zddesktop, there was a "flash" where the terminal expanded and collapsed.
And, nothing.
There is nothing in the menu.
I go to opt/.
There are two other files.
Sooooo I really would like to get this going to see what the desktop can do. I would plan to buy the enterprise edition etc. if it seemed like it would fulfill my needs.
thanks in advance

The girls and I continued our Color Wheel themed Rainbow Camp Week with this fun project.
NOTE: We let it finish drying in the sunshine and fresh air to get rid of the
alcohol smell - once it was dry there wasn't any smell except for the rice smell.
great thinking on your feet!
purell in place of alcohol...
the munchkins and i have completed their pj pants, and they are proudly taking them along to the g-parents' :)
i looooove your blog, and want to take time to look over your older posts
have a super day!
Wow, I love this! I've been wanting to do it with the pasta, but now I will have to try both! Thanks for sharing this!
Have a great one!
Looks like fun! Wish there were some pinl lovers over here to try it with :( thanks for stopping by the blog yesterday for my big day! Hope you come back soon:)
Your rice looks beautiful, and I love the idea of substituting purell for rubbing alcohol, brilliant improvising with the materials you have on hand!
The rice looks beautiful and your colors are very vibrant! I bet the girls had a great time playing with it. :-)
Hey great idea! Love this and am looking forward to trying it out with my daughter.
I just bought a big bag of rice to do this! Fun!
Your children are so lucky to have such a creative, hands-on, fun mummy. Just love your projects! Can you come over and do some with my kids? ;)
I love all your ideas!
I've had a lovely morning browsing your blog. I love your ideas and the creativity you instill in your children. I have three year old who loves anything creative so I'm having a blast with him. We'll definitely have to try this rice idea. We've dyed pasta for counting/sorting/stringing but I this looks fun. Thanks for all your great ideas.
I love your rainbow sensory box & your rainbow party. Lots of great ideas here. I've got a MckLinky party called Tot Tuesdays which started on Tuesday. I hope you'll stop by & share some of your ideas:
Cheers, Jenn
I mentioned your rainbow rice idea on my blog and gave a link over to your blog. Maybe you'll see some new faces from the Down syndrome community :-)
I am having so much fun exploring your blog. I ran a home daycare for 11 years and I used many of the same ideas you have posted. Including the rice box here. It's also very good for adults to use if they have to deal with anxiety issues. Did you know that pink and green are the two colors of the heart chakra? Seems to fit you perfectly.
i just recently found your blog & LOVE this activity... my 2 year old is fascinated! he's working on his fine motor skills & telling me all his colors! I LOVE IT!! thanks soo much for sharing this great idea!!
lol! Love the princess party!
Absolutely love this! Just did it and blogged about it! Thanks!
I absolutely love this! We did this and it was a huge success. Here's our fun with rainbow rice:
My 2yo LOVES this! We use a touch of white vinegar and food colouring to colour ours. Works great. Also love doing it with pasta.
Did this with my son last week and it turned out great. I credited you on my blog and linked to this page. You have nicer colours. My food dye was dubious, i might have to shop around. Thanks for the insipration
This looks easy to replicate, thanks! I found your blog through pinterest and am now following.
That rice is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Oh wow... I love your blog!
I tried doing this today. It was fun and so easy to do. I used it to fill an empty glass container and used it for decoration. I think I will do more tomorrow. I will post it on my blog and link you. Thanks for the inspiration. Your ideas are great.
Do you have a problem with the color rubbing off? I made an I-spy bag for my daughter and the objects now seem to be covered in a fine teal-colored powder. Any ideas of how to prevent this?
@mrsladymarian -- I haven't had any problems. Make sure the dyed rice is REALLY dry before sealing it up in a container or bag.

I have a Yahoo Small Business account which means I had to create a yahoo personal email address in order to support my domain and domain email address. My Yahoo Personal Email address got hacked. Due to some issues re: SBCGlobal/ATT/Comcast, I couldn't change my password. The only option was to back up my business email, email folders and contacts onto Zimbra and then close my Yahoo Small Business account and re-open it up with a new Yahoo personal email account.
I did all the above. However, Yahoo will not allow me to import the CVS file I created while exporting my Zimbra contacts. And I am unsure how to import my email folders and email files.
I contacted Yahoo and they said it was a Zimbra question. Is there a Zimbra support team I can contact? Or, is there someone reading this that can help me?
I am a graphic designer not a tech person so this is a steep learning curve for me. So please be gentle.

The weather was great for this year's star party and flies were not a problem. The dark skies of Cherry Springs have been degraded in recent years due to light from gas drilling in Potter and neighboring counties. Drilling has been put on hiatus in Potter County due to the drop in the price of natural gas and the skies have improved a bit as a result.
http://www.youtube.c...ev9DZsM1SoQ&... (see the SQM reading graph at 2:39)
Dave Mitsky
Dang! That fast. You'd think that dark skies would be worth more than thousands of cubic feet of natural gas.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 11:31 AM
Sky darkness: Has always been variable. High haze seems to reflect more light. If the daytime sky is milky, you can bet on a brighter night. I've seen SQM readings from 21.30 to 21.65 in recent years, sometimes on the same weekend. While it might not be as dark as it once was, Cherry Springs is still a great spot for observing, and the club that runs this star party does a great job.
Springtime weather: Hey, it's the Northeast!! Expect anything from blizzards to tornados, and maybe a clear night or two, or more….
CSSP: I went a day early last year and had 3 good nights, plus one pretty icky one (Saturday – some folks left, but it did improve around midnight). The year before the weather was so bad I didn't even bother to go, while watching hail hit my truck at home.
June??? I liked this star party better when it was in May. I'd rather have cold weather than shorter nights and less time to view the Virgo galaxies. Last year I also spent 4 nights in May and had better observing (and maybe a 100 people on the field), but of course no star party activities or vendors. I also had to borrow someone's lawn mower to cut a patch out of the 6+ inch deep grass to set up my scopes.
The best part about Cherry Springs is that the site is perfectly set up for astronomy: large flat field, hardened roads, AC power, water, toilets, safe, and no white lights. The old airfield across the road would be even better for viewing, but lacks any of the amenities. I just wish that there were closer restaurants and small stores. My cell phone will not work there, but the phone built into my Chevy truck works fine.

Forcast is for cloudy and rain...
George - if you don't go, will your 20" Obsession be going? Please? I plan on going, and plan on being parked right next to you again! Man really excited to get back to Cherry Springs again - what a beautiful place!
Maybe it will be as good as last year!

I plan on setting up next to the 30 inch scopes….. so that everyone lines up over there and leaves me and my little 20 alone!
Here's to 2013 being as good as 2012. We certainly had a large club attendance, (plus the same at Stellafane).
I'm also hoping for a long dark weekend in April or May again this year. It was actually better observing at the 4 nights I spent at Cherry Springs in May last year than at the CSSP…. and that was pretty good.

The Mill Stream Inn in Coudersport is probably the best motel in the area.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was waiting for others to chime in, but appears this may be the best choice.

Any advice for a first time attendee?
Posted 21 January 2013 - 05:51 PM
Stay out of your car after dark unless you know how to turn all lights off before hand or you WILL get yelled at.
Tent camping? Eating in/out? Can be cold wet hot bugs or bears. I'm south of Buffalo so look us up.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 08:42 AM
I already got the info about no laser pointers but thanks for reminding me.
I live in Rochester, NY but I grew up in Warsaw NY...I used to shuffle over to Buffalo fairly often. I haven't been there in a while except for a couple Bills Games.
Funny Story...I brought my Bino's to a Bills game. The only pair I have are 20x80's so it was way over-kill for football but provided some great views. The funny part was the reaction of people who have never seen bino's that big before. Quote of the day was from a gut sitting behind me. I let him borrow them for a few plays and he remarked..."man...you can see into the future with these things!". I laughed my *BLEEP* off!

All my attempts to reach the club or event web site are a dead end, where else is the registration form available?

I want to go, but June has very late sunsets and early sunrises.
Ya…. the wimps kept complaining about minor stuff like blizzards, temps in the low 20's, and such…. So they moved it from April to May and now June. I'm planning on a 3 or 4 day run a month or two before CSSP, plus going to the star party.
CSSP is still a great opportunity for some dark sky observing along with all of the other activities of a very well-run star party. Yes there's a shorter night, and less time before the spring time galaxies set, but you do get a good shot at "the summer Milky Way" late at night. I always 'flex' a day or two early…. or late…. to max out my chances under a clear sky. If the weather is good, you can expect half the field to be filled several days before the star party starts. Of course then you have to pay the camping fee and you are on your own for food.
I get a Galaxy Pass giving free camping for a year. You need 5 non-star party nights to break even, but…. the money is going for a good cause!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 01:45 PM
We also got complaints when the star party was held in May. Temperatures can drop well below freezing at the park in May. The issue of schools still being in session was another factor. Yet another was having the star party fall during the Memorial Day weekend.
I'd personally rather have the star party in July rather than June but people say it gets too hot in July for tent camping under the Sun.
Dave Mitsky
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:29 AM
I want to go, but June has very late sunsets and early sunrises.
That is the bummer part of the Cherry Springs Star Party. I agree with George though. I've had some of the best social observing I've ever experienced at CSSP. Last year we netted three nights of observing, and it was very comfortable. It is a good time to learn new objects, and strike up some amazing conversations.
I've never been there in the mid-May time frame, but like both Dave and George pointed out. That place can get really cold there. I think it hit 45F one of the nights this last year even in June.
Either way - it's really good times, and I highly recommend going!

Testimony :: Mr. Göran Lennmarker
President - Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly
It is with great pleasure and deep honor to appear here today before the Helsinki Commission of the U.S. Congress, and I would like to thank the members of the Commission for inviting me, in particular the Commission's chairman and President Emeritus of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, my good friend, Alcee Hastings, as well as its co-chairman, Senator Benjamin Cardin, who is one of the Vice Presidents of our Assembly.
I am also pleased to note that I am accompanied here by the Assembly's Secretary General, Spencer Oliver, who was the first Staff Director of the Helsinki Commission.
The work of the Helsinki Commission and the participation of the United States in OSCE and its Parliamentary Assembly have been invaluable to our organization. In fact, the membership of the U.S. and of Canada in our organization makes it unique – it is truly an organization that stretches from Vancouver to Vladivostok, and we want to strengthen the important transatlantic link in order for the OSCE and the Parliamentary Assembly to be able to meet all the numerous challenges in the OSCE world.
Today, Europe is doing well. It is whole and it is free, and it is in peace. Its security is better than ever, its economy is flourishing, and, particularly in its Eastern half, it is growing fast. Democracy and human rights have made dramatic progress since 1989. But in the young nations in the East, terrorism remains a threat and corruption and the lack of rule of law hamper economic progress. And there are still dictatorships in the OSCE area in the 21st Century – we did not expect this 15 years ago. So we still have a big job to do.
Europe today is based on free nations coming together for the good of all. We must concentrate our efforts to maintain that spirit of cooperation. The Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty must be kept. We should strive for open skies and open military budgets and work for transparency and for civilian and parliamentary control of the military and security. And the European Union should continue to expand and I am personally in favor of EU membership for Turkey.
And we must continue to try to find peaceful solutions to the unresolved, so-called "frozen" conflicts, in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdnistria, and, yes, Kosovo, all carry high human, economic and political costs.
For almost four years, I have been actively involved in supporting the OSCE Minsk Group's attempts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan about Nagorno-Karabakh. I have emphasized that I see "a golden opportunity" for a peace agreement. I still believe so. A good framework agreement has been presented by the Minsk Group, led by France, Russia and the United States. It is ready to be signed by the leaders of the two countries, if the political will is there.
The alternative, a new war, is unthinkable. The advantages of a peace accord for the whole region are huge. With peace, all three countries in the South Caucasus could, together, start to strive to build a region characterized by security, democracy, and prosperity.
What happens in the East, in the Ukraine, Belarus, and in the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia, is crucially important to all of Europe and to North America. However, we must also understand the difficulties facing newly created nations in building strong independent and democratic societies. The completion of that task will not happen overnight and that is why the elections in Serbia last January pleased me so much, for they showed that even in a country so recently involved in conflict and war, can, if the political will is there, make substantive strides towards democracy. Serbia's free and fair elections were impressive.
For the OSCE and its Parliamentary Assembly there are at least three important, unfinished tasks: the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, and I believe that OSCE should now focus its work on conflict resolution and democracy building in the transitioning democracies in the East. These countries are full and equal members of the OSCE and its Parliamentary Assembly. We need to hear their voices in our meetings and our discussions. We strongly prefer co-operation and dialogue over isolation and silence. We should intensify a dialogue about common problems and the sharing of experiences and encourage regional cooperation, including trade – a prime motor in creating wealth. Where there is vibrant trade, there is usually peace.
As the only regional organization in which North America, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Europe are all members, the OSCE is well suited to fulfill this task. In fact, its transatlantic and Central Asian dimensions make it not only unique, but also absolutely indispensable.
A central theme of my Presidency has been to engage Central Asia in our work. That is why I earlier this year visited all five member states in Central Asia to encourage them to be active in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and work towards greater regional parliamentary co-operation. That is why the Parliamentary Assembly has decided to hold next year's Annual Session in Kazakhstan and why I, personally, support Kazakhstan's candidacy for the OSCE Chairmanship in 2009.
An Assembly initiative has recently been launched with the active support of the Nordic Council and its five Northern European member countries, to explore the possibility to host a conference this fall in Oslo, Norway, on encouraging greater regional parliamentary cooperation between the five Central Asian nations.
I hope for a more active engagement from the United States in our efforts to reach out to the countries in Central Asia.
The OSCE is not a diminishing Organization. Its work in conflict resolution and in strengthening democracy and human rights is crucial. We need a strong OSCE to contribute to solving the political, economic and social challenges facing our societies. Today, more than ever, we must use our organization as an instrument for political dialogue.
The OSCE field missions are the heart of this Organization. The Assembly has reiterated that the OSCE must continue making full use of its field presence, providing them with all necessary means to increase their effectiveness.
We need the active participation of the United States Congress and its members. For that, we need to find a mechanism that will allow members of the U.S. Congress to travel and participate in the many international meetings and conferences taking place in the OSCE area. I don't know how that mechanism could look, but this is a vitally important matter and I hope to be able to discuss it further during my visit here in Washington
As President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly I have tried to further strengthen the role of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. It is an essential OSCE Institution and should be seen as an asset for the OSCE as a whole in order to provide assistance to the OSCE in helping solve remaining conflicts and preventing new ones from erupting; to increase the respect for human rights; to fight against human trafficking; and to strengthen OSCE election observation.
The OSCE Charter for European Security adopted at the last Summit in Istanbul in 1999, adopted a resolution stating:
"The Parliamentary Assembly has developed into one of the most important OSCE institutions continuously providing news ideas and proposals. We welcome this increasing role, particularly in the field of democratic development and election monitoring."
Members of parliaments pass laws, approve national budgets and taxes, and scrutinize governments. Parliaments and parliamentarians also provide valuable assistance to international co-operation and development. The importance of parliamentary oversight and accountability in international organizations – including the OSCE - is essential and oversight mechanisms need to be built in to the system.
The Parliamentary Assembly's Brussels Declaration from 2006 emphasized "the necessity of more effective enforcement of the monitoring mechanism of the work of the OSCE in order to increase the efficiency of the organization and to ensure a higher level of transparency and accountability in the Organization."
Unfortunately, not much has been achieved, at least so far, at OSCE headquarters in Vienna. But as we all try to promote democratic values and democratic ideas throughout the world, we must live as we preach. I am a strong believer in oversight, and I want to underline that it does not mean micromanagement. The Constitutional Committee of the Parliament of Sweden is always chaired by a member of the opposition, which we believe, enhances the oversight mechanism and power of our Parliament. Recently, I chaired the hearings on the then government's action, or lack of action, in the aftermath of the Tsunami catastrophe in Thailand, where hundreds of Swedes died. The hearings further strengthened my belief in and support for parliamentary oversight. OSCE would be a stronger and more efficient organization if we parliamentarians had more and better insight into its work.
Election observation is an important part of OSCE's mandate. Since 1993, the OSCE PA has conducted close to 90 election observation missions with the participation of over 2,000 parliamentarians. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to encourage the members of the U.S. Congress to participate as much as possible in these observation missions.
Election observation is important because it helps build democracy. It is important that we have high standards that are the same for all states, East or West of Vienna, and that double standards are never acceptable. The leadership and presence of parliamentary observers at elections during transitional periods emphasizes the importance of legislatures as institutions that must provide a balance to executive authority. As parliamentarians are themselves directly elected public officials, their observations are of great value to the public and to the voters, as well as to local and international media.
As stated in the Assembly's Brussels Declaration (article 88), approved unanimously, of the Parliamentary Assembly's role in OSCE election observation missions:
"(It) Urges the Parliamentary Assembly to continue to provide political leadership to the OSCE Election Observation Missions, with the technical, logistical and long-term observer support of ODIHR respecting the Co-operation Agreement and, if possible, reinforcing it."
I can assure you that the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has faithfully observed the letter and the spirit of the Cooperation Agreement in every election observation mission since 1997. Regrettably, OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) has not done so in spite of our best efforts and with the strong support from the Spanish OSCE Chairmanship led by Spain's Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos. We need to find a solution to this issue.
So far, this year, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has participated in and led four election observation missions: Serbia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. On December 2, elections to the Russian State Duma will take place. The OSCE has not yet been invited, but we hope and expect that we will be. In this context, I am pleased that Poland changed its mind and invited OSCE observers to the Polish elections on October 21. By signing the Copenhagen Document from 1990, all OSCE participating States have agreed that the presence of observers can enhance the electoral process. Indeed, this process has proven so important in the continued development of democracy within the OSCE area and it is vital that the OSCE is allowed to continue this important work.
Let me conclude by once again thanking the U.S. Helsinki Commission for this opportunity to appear before you and discuss the vital issues of our day.
I look forward to your questions.
Thank you!

Individuals have some help this weekend in preventing identity theft.
The MSU Extension Service is a partner in holding community shred days around the state. The Meridian event is Saturday, from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bonita Wal-Mart, 1733 2nd Street South.
It's to make people aware of the importance of identity theft and promote consumer protection.
Officials say individuals may bring up to five bags of sensitive documents to be shredded. Businesses are not eligible for this free service.
"We want you to bring your sensitive documents, up to five large bags and we will shred it on site for free," said Susan Cosgrove of the MSU Extension Service.
The Mississippi Attorney General's Office, the Secretary of State's Office, the Better Business Bureau of Mississippi, ShredIT, BancorpSouth and CredAbility, a non-profit consumer credit counseling group are partnering in offering the shred days.

Aquifer Characterization
Application ID: 4410
This model uses the Optimization interface to solve the inverse problem for determining the spatially variable hydraulic conductivity on a discretized quadratic grid from a number of aquifer pump tests.
Because the number of observations is smaller than the number of unknown parameters, a geostatistical penalty term is used to discriminate between solutions with comparable fitness values.
The measurement data is generated from a given forward model implemented using the Darcy's Law interface, making it possible to analyze the efficiency and accuracy of the inverse method as well as the optimization solver's performance.

A protein called keratin makes up your fingernails and toenails. Often, there are tiny flaws and defects in the network of keratin fibers that make up your nails, some of which are too small for you to see. If your nails are brittle or damaged, you may have more noticeable ridges or bumps on their surfaces that you can detect when you touch them or notice when you examine them. When you paint your nails, these tiny and major imperfections can make it difficult for the color to adhere properly, resulting in an uneven appearance or polish that easily flakes off or chips. Starting your at-home manicure with a high quality base coat evens out the texture of your nails, and the SpaRitual Base Coat collection offers unparalleled quality.
The items in the SpaRitual Base Coat lineup are formulated using the finest, natural vegan ingredients. The animal-friendly products in the SpaRitual Base Coat range ready your fingernails and toenails for your favorite polish. Using the items in the SpaRitual Base Coat collection ensure a more beautiful, even and longer-lasting manicure.
If you can never seem to get your nail polish to look even or last for longer than a day, the problem may be lurking on the surface of your nails in the form of textural imperfections. The SpaRitual Base Coat collection features products designed to create an even, smooth surface on each of your nails, so that color polishes glide on easily and evenly and can stand up against bumps and scrapes for longer-lasting effects.
Painting the SpaRitual Lacquer Lock Colorstay Basecoat onto your nails before you polish gives you a gorgeous manicure or pedicure with vibrant color that lasts and lasts. The formula not only evens out imperfections on the surfaces of your nails, but also creates a thin layer of pigment-attracting natural ingredients that allow colors to adhere to your nails more strongly. The base coat is completely free of harmful chemical ingredients that can damage your nails, including DBP, formaldehyde and toluene. The brush included with the product was specifically developed for the base coat for easy, smooth applications.
The SpaRitual Resurface Smoothing Primer Basecoat is ideal for those with damaged fingernails and toenails marred by extremely noticeable ridges. The base coat smoothens and resurfaces even the most rough fingernails and toenails, creating the perfect surface for the application of nail colors. The product features a specially designed brush to create a flawless base coat with every use and contains a blend of vegan ingredients that are free of harmful DBP, formaldehyde and toluene.

I've already figured out how to modify the sig, but right now I have to do it via an extra button on the toolbar. I need a way to automatically tell when a signature is added to the email. Anyone have any suggestions how this can be done?

How do the chart sizes compare to actual fit? Hoping a customer who has purchased this suit can give me a comparison of their measurements and which size worked for them?!?
Henderson suits tend to fit true to their sizing charts. The most important measurements any time you purchase a wetsuit using the manufacturer's sizing charts will always be your waist and chest/bust measurements. The suit needs to fit your torso correctly in order to do its job properly. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a comfortable wetsuit on the surface. You want it to be snug, but not cut off circulation to your extremities. The more snug it is, the thinner the layer of water your body is heating. If its too loose you will remain warm for awhile, but eventually your body won't be able to keep up with the greater amount of water flowing through the suit and you'll wind up getting cold faster. After that your height is a secondary measurement. The manufacturers realize that generally speaking your boots and gloves can overlap slightly short arms and legs, or the diver can push or roll up longer sleeves and/or arms if need be. Weight is a measurement the diver can usually ignore. It really has little to no bearing what so ever on the sizing and fit of your suit. The manufacturers do not take into account muscle being more dense than fat, so based simply on fitness levels 2 people can be the exact same size but quite different in weight. This measurement should only be used if the person is literally on the fence between 2 sizes in all categories.

We're living longer, but many of us are living with chronic illnesses that significantly lower the quality of our lives, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Washington.
The survey, called the Global Burden of Disease Study, finds that there has been a major change in the causes and impact of poor health over the past decades, with a shift away from early death to chronic illnesses and disability.
The survey found that since 1970 life expectancy has increased by 11.1 years for men and 12.1 years for women and that deaths among children under age 5 have plummeted, except in subSaharan Africa where childhood mortality remains high.
In general, improvement in life expectancy has been steady, but it slowed in the 1990s largely due to deaths from HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa and alcohol-related deaths in in easter Europe and central Asia.
With our longer life expectancy, the major burden caused by disease is no longer early death but instead chronic illnesses that cause pain and disability, such as arthritis, diabetes and dementia, and psychological disorders, the study concludes.
The study was led by University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"We're finding that very few people are walking around with perfect health and that, as people age, they accumulate health conditions," said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of IHME and one of the founders of the Global Burden of Disease.
"At an individual level, this means we should recalibrate what life will be like for us in our 70s and 80s. It also has profound implications for health systems as they set priorities," Murray said.
Dr. Paul Ramsey, chief executive officer of UW Medicine and dean of the University of Washington School of Medicine, said the study will serve as "a management tool for ministers of health and leaders of health systems to prepare for the specific health challenges coming their way."
"At a time when world economies are struggling, it is crucial for health systems and global health funders to know where best to allocate resources," Dr. Ramsey said.
The study found that while heart disease and stroke remained the two greatest causes of death between 1990 and 2010, all the other rankings in the top 10 causes changed.
Diseases such as diabetes, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease moved up the list, and diarrhea, lower respiratory infections, and tuberculosis moved down, the researchers report.
Explore the changes with this interactive chart.
And while malnutrition used to be a major cause of illness and death, today poor diet and physical inactivity are to blame for soaring rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke the study found.
"We have gone from a world 20 years ago where people weren't getting enough to eat to a world now where too much food and unhealthy food – even in developing countries – is making us sick," said Dr. Majid Ezzati, Chair in Global Environmental Health at Imperial College London and one of the study's lead authors.
The study appears in this week's issue of the medical journal The Lancet.

Say I have a list of oh, 3000 students who are not enrolled currently buy have mailboxes on my server. I'd like to purge their mail without actually deleting their mail boxes. Is there a quick and dirty way of doing this?
Say I have a list of oh, 3000 students who are not enrolled currently buy have mailboxes on my server. I'd like to purge their mail without actually deleting their mail boxes. Is there a quick and dirty way of doing this?
2 methods:
A) First so you don't have to manually go through each one, make sure their in their own COS (alumni or graduated etc)
(you can even script the COS change if you have a list of the user's handy)
In the admin console gui > cos (or individual user) > advanced tab > scroll to the bottom > and you can set:
Email message lifetime -Number of days a message can remain in any folder before it is automatically purged. The default is 0; email messages are not deleted.
Set this to 1
(let me know if you want zmprov commands instead-but it's really easy to find)
B) There's also the emptyFolder command but if they have /Folder at the same level as /Inbox it doesn't help you at all.
zmmailbox -z -m email@example.com emptyFolder /Inbox
zmmailbox -a admin -p password -m firstname.lastname@example.com emptyFolder /Inbox
mbox> adminAuthenticate -u https://server.domain.com:7071 firstname.lastname@example.com password
mbox> selectMailbox firstname.lastname@example.com
mbox firstname.lastname@example.com> emptyFolder /Inbox
I would do A because it's the easiest, followed by B for the /Calendars /Notebook etc
You could get pickier on folder names/write a script to get all folders etc, but that's probably most of the used storage space anyways.

You may also find these account status modes useful:
Closed -When a mailbox status is closed, the login is disabled, and messages are bounced. This status is used to soft-delete an account before deleting it from the server.
Locked - When a mailbox status is locked, the user cannot log in, but mail is still delivered to the account. The locked status can be set, if you suspect that a mail account has been hacked or is being used in an unauthorized manner.
Though you don't need too, you might use locked if your planning on lifetime email forwarding or something... (Which is something that more and more schools are starting, or at a minimum forward for at least a year etc.)
Are these just prior enrolled students/recent grads etc? You may take a policy something like:
-Notify them that you're going to be deleting their old mail & that new mail will be around for only 7 days or something. At the same time you could give them directions for setting up forwarding (either within the web-client or a portal). It may be beneficial to provide directions on copying their mail via IMAP/POP.
-Set the spam/junk & trash lifetimes to 1 day
-Wait a 'few days'
-Set email message lifetime 7 days
-After another month or so lock all the accounts & switch to email forwarding only configurable in a portal or by request.
-After a year or whatever (if you're not a 'lifetime' kinda school) then delete the accounts

Strong possibility that we will move to Zimbra for our students in the next 12 months.
On our UNIX system, I have an expire_mail program that can 'toast' any and all messages. Normally, I use it to remove listserv messages from our STUDENTS list.
Does Zimbra offer that capability using the system commands?

The zmmailbox command can be used to do searches on individual mailboxes and delete. But it's a one at a time thing. You may want to vote for this request though:
