I have a yahoo account and I would like to back up all the mail from that account to a gmail account. So, is there a way I can get Zimbra Desktop to synchronize my gmail account with yahoo account, automatically ?
As of now, I'm using Import/Export feature to copy mail from yahoo account to gmail account and it is quite a tedious thing to do. Hence, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically sync gmail account with yahoo account ?
Thanks for any help.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State started the season right with two victories Friday, sweeping Converse, 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-13) and beating Florida Tech in four, (19-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-23).
Offensively, senior middle blocker Tania Tauiliili led the team with 20 kills and an impressive .417 attacking percentage. She also led the team at the net with six blocks, two solo.
Meanwhile, freshman outside hitter Nikki McDaniel had a great showing on her first day of collegiate action. She hit down 18 kills, finished with 21 digs and served up eight aces Friday.
Hope Ripsam and Ashley Lala combined for 61 assists on the day with Ripsam edging Lala out with 33. The two also added 31 digs. Libero Chelsea Luttfring wiped the floor clean with 29 digs while defensive specialist Krista Bradford tallied 17 digs.
The first match was never in doubt as the Blazers raced out to a 25-14 in the first set. Valdosta State struck 16 kills in the opening set with a .324 percentage and hit .300 in the second set en route to a 25-13 win. The third set was no different as VSU cruised to another 25-13 set to put away Converse in the first match of the season.
It was a four-tiered offensive attack in the opening match. Tauiliili led with nine kills but McDaniel, Onushko and Destiny Berry backed her up with eight, seven and six kills respectively. Berry carried her strong first match with four kills and no errors in the second match to finish the day hitting a team high .429 attacking percentage.
Defensively VSU gave Converse no hope, holding the Valkyries to a 0.29 attacking percentage in the first set and negative percentages in the second and third sets. The Blazers only gave up 17 kills in the entire match.
The second match was more competitive, but once VSU hit its stride, it didn't let up. After dropping the first set, 25-19, VSU rebounded to outlast Florida Tech in the second set, 25-23, then put on a dominating performance in the third set, 25-15. With the Panthers playing for their lives in the fourth, Florida Tech was able to push VSU to the edge but the Blazers tamed the Panthers, 25-23, in the final set.
Tauiliili led the team with 11 kills on a .364 percentage while McDaniel added 10 kills. Ripsam gave 17 assists and Lala gave out 16. Luttfring dug up 19 balls, and McDaniel added 16 digs.
The Blazers will look to keep the streak rolling against Lander at 11 a.m. and Coastal Georgia at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Staff Report
Published Jan. 16, 2013
SCRA said Tuesday that its 2013 Industry Partnership Fund will have a total of $6 million in private contributions to support the SCRA Technology Ventures' SC Launch program.
The fund reached its maximum level of state, tax-creditable contributions as defined by the 2006 Industry Partners Act in two days. More than 240 individuals and companies are contributing to this year's fund, SCRA said.
The 2006 Industry Partners Act allows companies to contribute to the fund and receive tax credits for their contributions. While the maximum level of state tax-creditable donations has been reached, SCRA said the program will accept unlimited federal tax-deductible donations.
SCRA dedicates the funds to spur South Carolina's entrepreneurial growth and technology-based economic development through support of high-tech, innovative startup companies across the state.
Since its inception in 2006, the SC Launch program has provided early-stage funding and commercialization support to more than 280 entities, assisted 12 new companies in their relocation to the state and matched 45 federal Small Business Innovation Research awards.
The activities have helped position SC Launch portfolio companies to secure more than $202 million in follow-on funding from angel, venture and other private capital sources, SCRA said.
"The accelerated contributions to the IPF demonstrate a strong level of statewide commitment to the SC Launch program," SCRA CEO Bill Mahoney said in a news release. "SC Launch has significantly shaped South Carolina's knowledge economy, creating high-tech jobs which pay double the average annual per-capita wages within the state. We thank the Legislature, contributors and partners for their continued investment in South Carolina's growth and development through our SC Launch program and look forward to the program's continued successes."
SCRA is a tax-exempt organization created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1983. It has an applied R&D sector that manages more than 100 national and international programs worth more than $1.5 billion in contract value.

Hello, my name is Sean (I go by Socks online because I have an unhealthy obsession with them [Socks, that is]). I am working on a general RPG type world and I've been having issues with the cartography section in general as I don't understand the first thing about geology. For now I plan on it just being a forum RP but if things go well I plan to take it into a legitimate tabletop RPG similar to D&D.
This is a request for what I've drawn up to be revised and condensed into a world map.
There are 5(-ish) relatively large continents with a long string of islands (both individual, and chains) going from the south of one continent to the west of another continent.
Again, I have no knowledge of geology, thus, I am asking you for help with this map. Scaling is another issue I have. Something relatively realistic for these I guess. Largish continents.
For all of the continents I'm going to describe I have an image that I will show to those who are up to possibly taking the job. I just don't want to show them to the general public for fear of embarrassment.
Continent 1:
A long, thin, continent. Longer than it is wide. Something like how the United States is compared to Europe.
- Snowy mountain region to the north
- A densely wooded region
- A flatland region good for horses and maybe growing things as well
- An oddly-shaped peninsula breaking off to the east
- A dead wasteland bulge of the west
- A desert in the south
Continent 2:
A wide, short, continent. Similar to Europe. It stretches a long way with not much on it.
- A double-peninsula to the western side
- A large swath of land to the east of the double-peninsula country that a nomadic culture would thrive in
- An island between the two peninsulae[? - not sure how to make this plural]
- A peninsula off the south of the nomadic region
- Another stretch of land to the east of the nomadic region
Continent 3:
Another wide continent to the south of Continent 2.
A desert region for the most part. With oases and rivers to sustain life.
Continent 4:
A round(-ish) continent to the west of continent 1. A way to show that it at least looks like they were attached at one point. Similar to the arms that I have in the map I sketched. With islands and and things to indicate a broken-ness.
- Woods
- Swamp
- Flatlands
- Hills/highlands
- mountains
- riverlands
- an island off the south
- desert
Continent 5:
A deserted island-continent. Think Australia when considering scale maybe? Smaller than the rest of the continents. Hoping that you can find a way to make it look perfect for civilization but just that it lacks civilization.
I'm looking for something similar to these in that they show the sites of geological importance. I.e., mountains, forests, rivers, that sort of thing. In addition to these I would like dashed lines representing different nations, states, or holdings. As well as the cities pointed out in some form or another.
Quality and Size
Obviously a professional-level illustration would be ideal but semi-professional is more realistic in that I have no money to offer.
I plan to be displaying it on my forum board. But I was thinking that wallpaper size [1920 x 1080p] would be the ideal size for the map. It would be shrunk down to fit the forum, but there would be a link to view the image in its entirety in a new tab or window.
Time Constraints
None whatsoever.
As I am a highschool student without a job, I cannot pay you CURRENTLY. But I am really hoping to get a job (I'm not sure how realistic or likely this is in this economy). So, when/if I get a job, I will be coming into money. And when I come into money, I plan on reimbursing you for the work that you have done. That means that you would be doing this on faith that I would pay you in the future, which, I know, may be a bit risky for some. But know that if I were to start making money off this, I would also give you royalty fees. So that is also a part of the payment plan. Email me to work out payment in private.
I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
What I Need From You
What I need from you is realism. I have a general idea of how I want my nations, and states, to be divided/ how I want my borders to look. But there need to be geological reasons for this. I can make political reasons of my own but if you had any suggestions for this as well I would be all ears.

Toshiba MBF MBF230LRC 300GB 10K 6Gbps SFF Serial Attached SCSI Hard Drive in 3.5-inch bracket - Brand New
Capacity: 300GB
Spindle Speed: 10,000RPM
Interface Type: SAS Serial Attached SCSI
Disk Size: 2.5inx15mm SFF Server Drive
Sustained Throughput (MBps):
Average Seek Time (read/write ms): 4.0 / 4.4
Electrical Interface Speed: SAS-2 Serial Attached SCSI v2 - 6.0Gbps
On-Board Cache: 16MB
Easing migration to small form factor enterprise-class hard disk drives, Toshiba offers 2.5-inch SAS drive technology mounted in a 3.5-inch bracket. Toshiba developed the 3.5- inch bracket to enable small form factor drives to be used in legacy based 3.5-inch servers and storage enclosures.
By incorporating the MBF series 2.5-inch drive, the MBF2- LRC option features a 10,025 RPM spin speed, 6 Gb/ sec SAS interface, and the power consumption benefits normally found with small form factor drive technology. With a top storage capacity of 600GB1, the MBF2-LRC series drive matches the highest capacity point currently available within the entire 2.5 and 3.5-inch enterprise-class segments, while consuming 70 percent less power at idle and approximately one-half the active power compared to traditional 3.5-inch enterprise-class drives. In addition to the low power consumption design, the MBF2-LRC series features an enhanced power condition state technology enabling lower RPM spin speeds when not in use. The MBF2-LRC series drive is designed for storage solutions where reliability, high capacity, and performance are required, particularly mission-critical, power-conscious and data-intensive storage applications such as mid-range volume servers, mainstream storage arrays, blade, and rackmount servers
This drive is compatible with any server that supports SAS drives. ROHS Compliant.

ZF-2582: Unit test files cleanup
As I pointed out in the ZF mailing list there's a remarkable number of unit test files with duplicate (and not needed) require statements or outdated code practice.
All those files should be cleaned up and, if possibile, all common best practice collected in a single page somewhere (may be the wiki?).
For further details I recommend to have a look at the following mailing list post http://nabble.com/Multiple-%28and-perhaps-not-need…
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.
Reassigning to Matthew as it is a part of ZF2 refactoring

Here is a real quick way to make nice, tapering rivers in Inkscape. I'm not sure what version I have (I always use the nightly windows unstable builds) but this require Live Path Extensions which are available in the last stable release.
Alternately, you could use the Path along path extension to get a similar effect, but not editable.
Start by drawing a long, horizontal taper. This will be your "pattern". The width a the right-hand size will be the width of the river mouth. My lines here aren't straight, they have a slight curve on them. select this and hit ctrl-c (or edit->copy):
Now draw the river you want. Start at the origin of the river and end at the mouth!. I use the pencil tool, then simplify the shape using ctrl-l (path->simplify). I then use the edit path by modes tool, select all the nodes (ctrl-a), and click the "make selected nodes smooth". here you can see the curce I drew with smooth node handles:
With the river curve selected, open the Path Effects dialog (path->path effects). From the "Apply new Effect" dropdown, pick "Pattern along Path" then click "Add". Click the clipboard icon to paste the pattern we had copied back in the first step on to the path. For rivers, select Single, stretched. You can click on the Node Edit tool in the path effect dialog, and you will be able to change the pattern dynamically, seeing how it looks on the path:
The nice thing about pattern along path is that the original path (the river) can still be edited, and the pattern will just follow.
Draw a tributary (again with the pencil tool, then simplify and smooth nodes), keeping the direction in mind again. Repeat the last step. Here I am editing the pattern nodes to make this segment more narrow:
To combine the rivers, select them all, and set their path and fill to "None", then group them together. Set the group fill to the colour you want (I picked cyan to demonstrate). Duplicate that group, and set the duplicate's stroke to a darker colour. I used blue, and 3 pixels. Now push the duplicate group below, and the whole river is nicely outlined (you could also blur the outline for a softer look):
It is just as easy to add lake shapes to the group before setting the group stroke and fill to make lakes and rivers with continuous shoreline strokes.

1956 Ford Monoleaf and Disc Brake Upgrade - Lower That EffieWritten by on May 23, 2012 '56 Ford Monoleaf and Disc Brake Upgrade
We all wish to have the "best of the best" for our custom trucks but, what if our pocket books don't match our desires? Rent, bills, and kids can swallow the majority of the monthly income and make it hard to afford hot rods parts. With that said, I have friends that will buy truck parts before they put food on the table and starve for a week.
When it comes to fixing our classic trucks, sometimes it's not all about showing off your custom suspension but rather improving the stance of the vehicle. In the past we have covered the higher end builds, but when it comes to custom suspension they're other choices. For instance, the more wallet friendly mono leaf front suspension can enhance the stance by lowering the vehicle 3 to 4½ inches, depending on the drop chosen. For this particular tech article, we made a call over to Performance Online in Fullerton, California, where the helpful sales guys walked us through picking the correct parts. I explained to the salesman that the owner wanted to have a traditional looking pickup using monoleaf front suspension but with the added braking performance of disc brakes. He suggested that we use the 4½-inch drop monoleaf that moved the front axle forward 1 inch to center the wheel inside the fender. We also added the Performance Online master disc brake kit that will help tie everything together on the stock front end.
One of the cool things about lowering a vehicle with monoleaf suspension and upgrading the brakes is that the vehicle was back on the ground within a day. The ride quality of the monoleaf is not all that bad when you compare it to the stock suspension and in fact, I think it rides better because of the lowered stance. CT

I started off by lifting the vehicle and supporting it with jackstands. We supported the the frame toward the front of the vehicle so we had plenty of room to install the monoleaf and master cylinder booster.Four bolts hold the drum backing plate against the spindle. Remove these four bolts and the stock drum brake hoses.Since we were also upgrading the brakes from drum to disc is was necessary to remove the old drum brakes.Next, remove the old U-bolts holding the axle. Make sure to support the axle or it will fall and possibly damage the spindle treads.Next, remove the old U-bolts holding the axle. Make sure to support the axle or it will fall and possibly damage the spindle treads.RJ removed the cotter pins and spring shackle pins holding the springs on. It may be a good idea to order new bolts that hold on the springs because the bolts might be pitted or rusted. We inspected our '56 spring shackle bolts and they were OK.Supporting the spring, RJ pulled out the spring shackle bolt on the zerk fitting side. Repeat this step for all of the spring shackle bolts.With the springs removed they were laid side by side to compare the drop. We used the 4 1/2 lowering monoleafs from Performance Online.
Slide the new Performance Online monoleaf in the stock shackle and install the bolts. We tightened the bolts and installed new cotter pins.Using the provided U-bolts make sure you tighten these down with a torque wrench. A 1/2 air gun will give you a false sense of torque. The stock axle bracket and shock bracket were sand blasted and reused.The shorter Performance Online shocks were then installed making sure not to over tighten the bushing.Next, the brake rotor bearing adapter is installed on the spindle. We used an old piece of pipe and gently hammered the adapter on the spindle.The zerk fittings on the spindle needed to be moved over to make room for the disc brake caliper adapter.After drilling and taping the spindle in all four zerk fittings we used the grease gun to push out the metal shavings. Place the grease gun on the old zerk fitting and push grease out of the new hole. Once the shavings are clear from the holes, plug the old hole and transfer the zerk fitting to the new hole. Performance Online states that the king pin will not be damaged by performing this step, but you should be carful not to drill or tap into the king pin
On the drivers side we placed the caliper bracket facing toward the rear of the truck. Notice the three washers in between the caliper bracket and spindle that help index the caliper to the rotor.A carbide deburring tool was then used to notch the caliper. Make sure only to remove a small amount of material on the caliper.We then bolted the caliper on the bracket checking for clearance issues between the bracket and caliper. The calipers are left and right and can be distinguished by the brake fluid bleeder position. The brake fluid bleeder should always point upward.The wheel was then test-fitted to make sure the inside had enough clearance for the caliper. Note some wheels will not clear but we got lucky with the wheels that were on the '56 Ford.The stock location for the brake line is used but I did have to use a stepped bit to enlarge the hole slightly. Use the U shaped spring clip to hold the brake line on.
The master cylinder can now be bled by using the provided brake line kit. I used a Phillips screwdriver to plunge the master cylinder piston in and out until the hoses no longer had bubbles.The new brake booster and bracket are attached to the stock pedal/master bracket using the provided bolts.In order to make the brake booster work you will need to provide a vacuum line large enough to fit around this fitting.The master cylinder was then installed and the front brake line needs to go into the proportioning valves right side open hole. The rear brake line is located on the left. The brake light switch can then be wired to the brown wire on the side of the proportioning valve.The brake booster rod was then attached to the pedal assembly and adjusted so that the brake pedal rod was not applying pressure to the master cylinder.

ROCKVILLE. Md. (WUSA) -- Maryland Lt. Governor Anthony Brown along with other Montgomery County executives including Ike Legget held a town hall meeting in Rockville to discuss the proposed legislation further restricting gun ownership in Maryland.
Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, and Governor Martin O'Malley are trying to push what they call "Common Sense Gun Laws."
Although, people spoke on both sides of the issue more sounded off against the proposal rather than for it.
The O'Malley-Brown plan calls for school security improvements to the tune of 25 million dollars, an improvement in current mental health initiatives and programs, and perhaps the biggest contention, new laws to current owners that include:
1. Ban on assault rifles;
2. Magazine capacity limit to 10 rounds;
3. Tougher Background checks.
Despite the opposition to the plan Lt. Governor Anthony Brown said , "I do believe we will pass the lion share of what we proposed."

I am a noob when it comes to star sketching (heck, I'm a noob at astronomy period); however, I recently purchased an Orion Astroview 90mm telescope with this type of artwork in mind. This evening, after several attempts at splitting some doubles for the Sissy Haas project, I settled in for an easier set of objects. My method at the EP is to simply scribble down basic placements and notes on magnitude, etc. to be later re-"drawn" using Paint.NET.
I am presenting this with the hope that more experienced artists will offer unbiased critique and suggestions for improvement. While my intent is to portray "realistic" renditions of what I actually see through my eyepiece, at this early stage I am not so much concerned with technical perfection (measurements, etc) as I am with someone who is familiar with these objects to be able to recognize them when they view one of my sketches.
That being said, can you recognize what I have "drawn" here?

|Sen. Mark Christensen not overly excited about results of session
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

Sen. Mark Christensen
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
As a conservative senator from a conservative district in a conservative state, 44th District Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial sometimes wondered what Legislature he was serving in this year.
It certainly wasn't the same body he'd seen during his first six years as a Nebraska senator.
"This was nothing but a liberal session," Christensen said as he looked back on the 90-day session that adjourned last week.
With new senators joining the ranks, Christensen said the Legislature took on a liberal bent this year.
In his past experiences, the body looked at ways to spend money that invested in the long-term future of Nebraska. "This year, it was all about how we can spend money to help the individual instead of long-term investment in Nebraska," he said.
He likened it to the old proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
There wasn't much teaching going on in this year's session, he lamented. It was about what the Legislature could do for somebody right now, he added.
He said the Legislature raised the income threshold for what is considered poverty and that effort will continue.
Rather than bringing more people into that category, why not work on getting them better educated so they can get better jobs, he questioned.
"If government is going to give people everything, how are we going to afford it? We'll tax everyone to death," he said.
In retrospect, he said the session would get a grade anywhere from a C to D and an F in some instances.
He cited one example of "F" legislation when the Legislature approved allowing people with sexually transmitted diseases to get medication for their partner as well, without the partner ever seeing a doctor.
He said legislation that got out on the floor this year and will come up early in next year's 60-day session will allow co-habitating couples to adopt.
It won't matter whether the couple is heterosexual or homosexual, he said. Studies show this type of adoption is not beneficial to the children and is yet another way to redefine the meaning of family, he added.
Legislation, interim studies
In terms of legislation passed this session, Christensen said he wasn't able to accomplish what he sought out to do.
LB 16, which adjusted the terms under which the county took over Champion Mill, passed early in the session.
LB 386, which addressed notification by counties when road maintenance is done adjoining private property, passed as well.
Christensen has several bills that remain either on General File or Select File.
His attempt to get compensation for surface water irrigators who are forced to give up water for state compact compliance remains on Select File.
However, he fears the body will never pass the bill.
Other bills on General File deal with work camp incarceration provisions, employment provisions for people committed to the Department of Correctional Services, and limiting a governor's authority to restrict firearms under the Emergency Management Act.
He has also asked for several interim studies to be conducted this summer and fall.
He wants to see the impact of breaking up Health and Human Services into the departments they were before merged under Ben Nelson's stint as governor.
Three others deal with water issues.
The first would look at the impact of allowing surface water users without wells to put in a well. Their surface water rights would be surrendered on the respective tract, with the water being used for compliance efforts.
For irrigators who use both surface and groundwater, the Department of Natural Resources would determine if sufficient surface water is available, then no groundwater could be pumped.
If there is not sufficient surface water in any one year, then irrigators would only be allowed to use their groundwater wells and not surface water.
He also wants to see a study that would allow any river basin to be designated over-appropriated.
Politically, that study is a bad move, Christensen said, because many will oppose that.
However, he felt it was more important to get the issue on the table now versus having legislation introduced next session without any input.
What scares Christensen is that water legislation gets drafted by Lincoln or Omaha senators who don't have a keen understanding about water in out-state Nebraska.
Sustainability task force
Christensen also plans to keep close tabs on a new water task force championed by Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege.
He said Carlson's goal is to achieve sustainability by limiting water use to no more than can be recharged.
Frankly, he sees Carlson's move as a way to get a hard cap on pumping in the Upper Republican Natural Resources District. That could be eight inches, he warned.
He said Carlson has no regard for economic sustainability when it comes to water use and management. That could be devastating in the middle and upper regions of the Republican River basin.
Governor's race heating up
Chistensen said it will be an interesting summer as more candidates throw their hat into the governor's race.
Omaha senators Brad Ashford and Steve Lathrop, along with Sen. Carlson have all expressed interest.
That could all change if former Speaker Mike Flood re-enters the race.
Flood dropped out after his wife was diagnosed with cancer. But Christensen said treatment is going well and wouldn't be surprised if Flood jumped back into the race.

Over the years Tanner Edwards has made many trips to UW Hospital in Madison for treatment of a rare disease. But Friday, it was different. Tanner's father Don Edwards donated one of his kidney's to save his 14-year-old.
Tanner Edwards was just a year old when he was diagnosed with cystinosis. Tanner's family has known for years they would have to make the trip to Madison for a kidney transplant. And although UW hospital is known throughout the world for it's successful organ transplants that doesn't make the wait any easier on the family. When he went into the holding area right before they took him to surgery he was a little emotional.
As family and friends anxiously wait, tow teams of surgeons actually do the transplant. One removes Don's kidney while the other waits across the hall to transplant the organ into tanner. Pediatric Nephrologist Dr. Aaron Friedman has been Tanner's doctor since he was diagnosed with cystinosis.
He says Tanner's new kidney will be protected form the disease. Medical advances since Tanner was first diagnosed make his future much brighter.
The surgery was a success. Doctors say it went very well. Tanner's new kidney started working almost immediately. Both father and son are recovering in Madison Friday night.
Friends of the family have set up a fund in Tanner's name to help with the huge medical costs. Donations for can be made at any Amcore Bank

Hi guys,
I recently installed Zimbra since I needed a fast and intuitive email server in a hurry, its probably a little more function rich than I need in fact, but what I was wondering was this.
Is there a way that I could make a script which automatically creates new user accounts upon POP3 connection based off some regexps or something similar?
Basically the only connections which will ever hit the server will be from trusted sources, and their usernames will be quite easy to make patterns off, I just have no idea where to start or if this is even possible using Zimbra.
Any ideas, alternative solutions, advice, or help is most welcome.

Ford Model A Dash and Door Tops - and It's What's Up Front That CountsWritten by Chuck Vranas on March 1, 2011 Adding Speed And Style By Sculpting A Dash And Door Tops
Infusing style into an early post-war-styled hot rod is as easy as opening a dusty "lil' book" and peering deep to see what's pressed between the pages. Inspired metal fabrication can instill the feeling of speed into any hot rod.
The interior dash and door area of a Ford Model A are pretty basic, leaving plenty of opportunity to artistically alter its original configuration. To add just a dash of speed and style to the area, the team at the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop in Greenfield Center, New York, set out to blend the dash and door tops together with the sleek look reminiscent of those seen in '33-36 Ford roadsters. Working with a Brookville Roadster '29, the team began by adding plenty of momentum to its persona by installing a Sellers Equipped windshield and Brookville '32 Ford dash. This prior work included the removal of the stock eyebrow section of the body, which was reworked to accommodate the new windshield as well as peak to the back of the cowl being pie-cut and laid back.
Getting started, team member Matt Schmidt prepared the area to the side of the dash where he would create a mold for the first transition of rolling the dash into the door top. Using 2-inch masking tape, he covered the work area, since the tape would act as a perfect release agent for the mold once completed. After preparing a small amount of plastic body filler, he began to apply it to the area in gradual stages, allowing plenty of drying time between the layers. This step allowed Schmidt to fill the area and build it up in just the right places. Once the plastic had hardened, he followed with a combination flat and half-round file to sculpt the gradual transition from the dash to the beginning of the door top. When satisfied with the mold, it was carefully pried from its place and used as a visual guide to create the panel from steel. Schmidt proceeded with 22-gauge flat stock, cold rolled mild steel to fashion a filler piece. Using a pair of metal shears, he cut out the piece, making sure it was larger than required to allow for needed trimming in obtaining the exact shape. To add a graceful bend to the steel, Schmidt worked with a sandbag and a curved dolly while test-fitting the piece to the dash numerous times till the exact transition was found. With the basic shape attained, he trimmed the piece for a better fit using metal shears and continued with a number of body hammers to establish the correct contours to the end of the dash.
Schmidt forged on to stretch the steel to create some needed compound curves using a homespun anvil anchored in a bench vise while working the filler piece with a blunt point and finishing hammer. Once satisfied with the piece, he used his Millermatic MIG welder to anchor the piece. Wearing eye protection, the welds were then ground smooth using an air-driven disc grinder topped with a 50-grit disc followed by a die grinder.
With the transition piece from the dash completed, Schmidt focused on the gradual sweeping flow needed to bridge this area to the door top. Working in the same fashion used to create the initial dash end mold, he proceeded with tape and plastic filler to design the transition atop the door. Using this as a guide, he selected a 4-foot section of 1-3/4-inch steel exhaust pipe to act as a solid base. After bending the pipe to match the factory curve of the door top, he marked it for trimming and where it needed to be split open to begin the shaping process. While anchored in a bench vise, he used an air-driven cutoff wheel to make the initial incision to split the pipe section open. Using an anchored flat dolly, Schmidt proceeded to open up the pipe by hammering both of the separated sides flat with a rubber hammer from front to back. This prevented the pipe section from becoming dented during the process. To open the pipe even further, he used a pair of duck-billed Vise-Grips parallel to each other to additionally stretch the section open. As the pipe changed its shape, Schmidt checked the section to the door top numerous times to ensure the curve to the top of the pipe did not become distorted. This is a gradual process that takes plenty of time to get right.
Once comfortable with the fit to the door top, it was time to begin forming the forward end (which will meet the dash filler piece) to add the needed graceful curves and form the transition. For this step, Schmidt used various anchored dollies to gradually stretch the steel while adding curves and depth through the use of a number of body hammers with different ends. Again, this is a process that takes time, working the steel and placing the filler piece atop the door countless times to aid in its shaping to create just the right contour.
Once satisfied with the overall shape, Schmidt first reinstalled the Sellers Equipped windshield and then marked the exterior of the new door top with masking tape to show a delicate sweep from fore to aft. He cut the excess metal off using a plasma cutter and ground the edges smooth with a small disc grinder. Wanting to achieve the correct contour for the inside curve of the door, a relief-cut was made using a disc grinder to the inner top edge and it was rolled inboard. Focusing on the inner portion of the door top, a masking tape line was run from the end of the dash filler piece rearward to follow a gradual tapered line. The door top was then removed, trimmed with a plasma cutter, and its edge ground smooth with a disc grinder. Knowing that interior panels would need an anchoring point, Schmidt marked a "fold-line" on the door top, which would need to be bent inward toward the door. Since this was a compound curve, to accomplish the bend a number of relief cuts were marked and carefully cut using an air-driven cutoff wheel with the piece in a bench vise. With the curve intact, Schmidt used a flat anvil secured in a bench vise to bend the tabs over to the correct angle. After test-fitting the door top in place, it was again removed for the tabs to be MIG welded together. It's imperative to allow ample cooling between the welds so as to not distort the steel. A disc grinder was used to smooth out all of the finished welds. Once a few remaining filler pieces were fashioned and added to the front inside top hinge area of the door, the new door top was welded into place and all welds were ground smooth with a disc grinder topped with a 50-grit disc. The completed job added newfound personality to the interior of the Model A by incorporating plenty of sleek styling with the flow of the '32 Ford dash into the door tops.

Schmidt applied a liberal dose of plastic body filler to the end of the dash and inner windshield post to set up the initial area to be molded; he used a number of layers to achieve the proper depth.Once the filler had set up, he used a combination flat and curved file to craft the transitional shape.The completed mock-up is now ready to be popped off to use as a visual guide to fashion the needed shape from steel.Schmidt used the plastic mold as an example to rough-cut a section of 22-gauge steel for the general shape for the filler panel.Schmidt used a sandbag and dolly to lay the initial curvature into the steel for one of its many test-fits to the dash area.To properly round the edge of the filler panel to the end of the dash, the small ball-end of a hammer was used to continue to work the proper contour into place.Using a home-spun anvil, Schmidt used a hammer to stretch the steel and form the needed compound curves to properly match the end side of the dash.
The transition between the dash and inner windshield post area is seamless and begins to establish the transitional flow into the door top area.A 4-foot section of standard 1-3/4-inch steel exhaust pipe was used as the base to form the extension. Schmidt added a curve to the pipe to follow the flow of the stock door top.The pipe was then laid on top of the door to mark the cuts needed for the overall length as well as the initial area to be flattened once the pipe was pried open.Using a flat dolly, a rubber hammer is used to flatten out the marked curvature of the pipe without denting it. The pipe was worked from front to rear as it was gradually opened up.The pipe to the door top was checked numerous times so as not to distort the curve of the pipe to the door top. One of the tools used to spread the pipe was a pair of duck-billed Vise-Grips; gradually worked up and down the steel to create an even opening.This look-down shot lets you see how the original steel pipe has been reworked to curve and flow into the filler panel at the end of the dash.
Once the proper shape was attained, the relief cut was MIG welded and then ground smooth using a small air-driven disc grinder.The new door top was laid into place and marked for additional trimming to establish the correct gap between the dash filler panel extension and the door top.With the Sellers Equipped windshield in place and the new door top taped into position, the final exterior trim is determined. A tape line is used to establish the cut needed. Remove the piece and use a plasma cutter to trim the area followed by a disc grinder to clean up the edge.From inside the car with the new door top in place, masking tape was used to establish a gradual tapered line from the front of the door rearward. The piece was then removed and trimmed using a plasma cutter. Note the marked fold line where the steel will need to be modified for future interior panel needs.In order to bend the steel on the fold line with its compound curve, a number of relief-cuts were made to the panel using an air-driven cut-off wheel. With the panel back in place, it's easy to see that the curve is intact.
With all final finessing complete, a MIG welder was used to weld all of the gaps followed by a disc grinder to smooth out the completed surface.The one remaining area needing attention was the front hinge side of the door where the new door top ended since the spot was wide open.It's easy to see just how dramatic the completed changes are. Propelling the original basic lines into those of a graceful sweep gives the car a newfound raciness, flowing perfectly with the Sellers Equipped windshield and Brookville '32 Ford dash.A small filler piece was crafted using 22-gauge steel to close the area. The driver's door is shown alongside as a comparison. The pieces were MIG-welded into place and ground smooth using small die grinders.

Application deadline near for Joice Island Unit pig hunt
The deadline for applying for a spot to hunt pigs in Solano County's Joice Island Unit of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area is fast approaching. A number of hunts are being offered, so figure out when you'd like to go and get your application in.
A total of 24 two-day permits will be issued, and the Department of Fish and Game will offer these hunts to control what's called a small population of the wild porkers.
If you're drawn, just be aware it probably will be some of the toughest hunting you could get into because of the environment. The Joice Island Unit is a 2,150-acre wetland consisting of thick cattails, tules, brush and standing water, all great hiding places for the pigs to go under cover when you're looking for them.
They aren't the type of critter that will come to you. You have to dig them out of their hiding spots.
There will be one designated apprentice hunt and seven general hunts. The apprentice hunt, on March 3-4, is for juniors 12 years and older in possession of a Junior Hunting License. While only a hunter in possession of a Junior Hunting License may apply for an apprentice hunt, either may apply for and be drawn for any general hunt.
General hunt dates are March 10-11, March 17-18, March 24-25, March 31-April 1, April 7-8, April 14-15 and April 21-22.
Three hunters will be drawn for each listed date. Only drawn applicants will receive maps and additional information.
If you apply by yourself, you'll be allowed to bring one non-hunting partner as companionship, one who can help you beat the brush to try and roust a pig from hiding, and to help with the critter should you be successful.
As the drawn hunter, you're required to have a valid, current hunting license and California pig tag.
Now for the big kicker. No big-bore rifles are allowed in this flatland territory. Only shotguns using slugs and archery will be allowed, and you can bring and use your dog.
The deadline for applying is through the close of business on Feb. 10. The drawing will be held Feb. 14.
To apply, send a standard postcard with your name, valid hunting license number, address, telephone number and desired hunt date. If you're an apprentice hunter, you'll need to include the name of an adult or chaperone.
Mail the postcard to: Joice Island Pig Hunt, 2548 Grizzly Island Road, Suisun City, Calif., 94585.
You may apply one time and for only one hunt date. Multiple applications will get you thrown out, as will leaving out required information. Applications may have up to two hunters, and all the information listed above must be included for both hunters.
Current fishing
Still no rain and snow in the forecast, but there is a lot of winter left and plenty of time to make up the difference of what we don't have. A recent snow survey put the surveyors on mostly dry ground — 14-percent of normal snowfall doesn't equate to much water coming down the hill in the spring. Our snowpack was more than 200 percent at this time last year.
In case the storm doors open, you should be hitting the waterways right now, when water levels are more than adequate and most fish are more than willing to grab an offering tossed their way.
American River: Opening day-itis — Jan. 1 — is over. The reopening section of the river was crowded, but that quickly thins out after opening day. While there are many steelhead in the river, it hasn't been outstanding catching. I'd guess much of that has to do with clear and lower water levels and anglers not adjusting for the conditions — lighter equipment. Steelhead are wary and easily spooked. If your offering looks natural to them, you get bit. If they get spooked by heavier lines, they'll move on.
Some of the best catching has been in the basin between the Hazel Avenue Bridge and the dam, but don't discount the stretch just down river on the south side below the hatchery and at Sailor Bar.
Only a hatchery-born steelhead can be kept. Between the dorsal fin on the back and the tail is a tiny useless fin called the adipose. If that fin is in place, it's a natural steelhead and may not be retained. Hope you enjoy the battle, but unhook it and let it go. Just mark your Steelhead Report Card appropriately for the catch.
A hatchery steelhead has had its adipose fin clipped off. It's legal to take home and eat.
Ice House Reservoir: This lake in the Crystal Basin region generally is snowed in and off limits now. That isn't the case this year. Not only is it an easy drive, but launching is no problem with the lake just under 70 percent. Trollers are hammering limits regularly. A variety of gear is enticing bites. The old standby of a threaded crawler is always a safe bet, but a Sep's two-inch grub is also working well.
Lake Camanche: North Shore is the closest drive and even for those with no boat offers some of the best shore fishing. There are great areas just west of the boat ramp. One group of anglers ventured near the primitive campground area and filled stringers of limits with everything going about two pounds. Power eggs, Power Bait, salmon eggs and crawlers are attracting a bite for those casting from shore with a sliding sinker rig.
Trolling around the North Shore ramp, going up the lake to the region around the Narrows and down the lake around Hat Island and the dam are showing success. A threaded crawler is always a good bet. Lures will work, but you'll have to keep changing until you find the right one. My experience is, what you got bit on yesterday they may not want today.
Folsom Lake: To fish properly and hook up more fish, you're going to spend more time scoping than casting-retrieving. You're going to spend more time around the rock piles looking for a school of bait fish. The bass are keeping them close by for when the hunger pangs hit. Even when you do find a ball of bait — and surely bass hanging close by — there's still no guarantee you're going to get bit. You pretty much have to bounce your rig on their nose; irritate the bass to get him to snap at it or lightly mouth it to move it out of the way. Spooning, jigging and drop-shotting plastics are working.
An occasional trout or salmon is showing up for trollers using downriggers as deep as 55 feet mostly in the main body of the lake, but stick to the old river channel area. Action is far from even being rated good.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nothing like a little extra elbow room — even if it costs $100 million dollars.
That's the amount that the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has dropped to expand its digs in Nashville.
The additional space has more than doubled the space the museum has to show off its items — and includes more interactive and contemporary exhibits. The new expansion will be opened tomorrow.
Among the additions to the museum: an educational wing named after Taylor Swift.
A museum official says it's hoped the extra room will draw more fans of current country music.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy (Level 2)
SIZE: One Size
Finished Length (not including ties) About 34 in. (86 cm) Finished Width at point About 17 in. (43 cm)
Style this triangle shawl many different ways! Want to see how? Check out the similar pattern, the knit Grande Wrap.
9 sts = About 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
9 sts = About 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row).
kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st -1 st increased.
1. Wrap is worked from the point up. 2. A circular needle is used to accommodate the bulky sts. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working on straight needles. 3. Wrap is worked in Garter st (k every row), so there is no real RS or WS. Ties are worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS). Edges of ties will naturally roll slightly to the WS.
WRAP Cast on 3 sts. Row 1: Knit 3. Row 2: Kfb, k to end of row - 4 sts. Rep Row 2 until there are 78 sts. Next Row: K2 and slip these sts to a holder, bind off next 74 sts. 2 sts remain on needle. Do not cut yarn.
FINISHING Tie K1, kfb in next st - 3 sts. Work in St st (k on RS, p on WS) until tie measures about 23 in. (58.5 cm). Next Row: Sl 1, k2 sts together, pass sl st over st just knit. Fasten off. Return the 2 sts on holder back to needle and make a second tie same as the first. With sewing needle and thread, sew a few sts through the Wrap and the base of the tie to reinforce the area. Rep on opposite tie. Weave in ends.

HUNTERS BEWARE! Pat's Meat Processing in Casper, WY is horrible! Unfortunately they were recommended by a guide. If you are an out of state hunter do NOT go here to get your meat processed! My dad killed a 220+ pound deer and went here to have it butchered. He took them over 100 lbs of field dressed meat, they gave him 10 lbs back. ONLY 10 POUNDS!!!! He immediately asked them where the rest of the meat was and they claimed they "couldn't find it." THEY STOLE HIS MEAT! They took the best meat (shoulder straps, back straps, hind meat, ect.) and gave him only a few steaks and some ground venison back.
DO NOT go here! They are a rip-off! We are in the process of contacting WY Game & Fish Department and BBB.
My dad had to make the return trip back home so he wasn't able to do anything more in person. Please pass this on so nobody else makes the same mistake as him.
Dam! only 10 pounds of meat. I dont see how they could even nerve the nerve to do that and expect to be paid for it. I have only had game processed a couple times and they did a good job but I have herd plenty of stories where it turned out badly.
Why would they take the meat from one deer? If they took 5# from each deer it wouldn't be missed and they would have more deer meat than they could use
He paid for the processing first, they then brought out his 4 packages of meat. To say he was pissed is an understatement.
Shady sounds like an understatement to me. Makes ya wonder how they stay in business. I cant see them ever having a repeat customer.
10 pounds?
I would have told them to pound sand and not paid for the processing.......
I used Valley Meats in Dayton WY for my Elk this year and they where incredible. A member here on Eastman s recommended them and I was very impressed with everything there. Would go back there in a heartbeat.....

Rod & Custom Pro's Picks 2003Written by on January 5, 2004 A Dazzling Dozen From the '03 Street Rod Nats
Hot enough to cook a burger on your hood. Row after row of aftermarket manufacturers' displays. Hours of nighttime activity on the streets. Too many acres to walk in a day. And way too many rods to see in a weekend. That's the Nats.
For street rodders, the NSRA Street Rod Nationals is a pilgrimage event. For some, the mid-summer trip to Louisville, Kentucky, is a once-a-year tradition, for others, a once-in-a-lifetime treat. Whether you love huge national events or prefer small local runs, everybody should experience "The Nats."
One of the ways ROD & CUSTOM has been participating at the Nats is through our Pro's Picks programs. We corral off an area at the far end of the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center on Friday and wait for the participants to show up. Then the R&C staff, assisted by numerous pro builders, automotive journalists, and industry big wigs, do a little judging, selecting the 12 best (in our estimation) cars of the bunch. We're proud to present the winners from the '03 Nationals.
Owner: Bobby & Cindy Alloway, Louisville, TN
Car: '33 Ford Vicky

Only 138 98C convertible phaetons were built in 1934, and Pro's Picks judges couldn't resist this elegant and rare Buick-powered Bufford built by Gray's Garage in Metamora, IL. (Photo by Kevin Lee)
Owner: Harry McFadden, Columbia, SC
Car: '37 Ford Cabriolet
Drivetrain: Chevy LS1 and 4L60E transmission
Harry says it was collector George Poteet who inspired him to do this super smooth '37 roadster, built at Don Jacks. The airbagged, on-the-ground ragtop is a knockout.
Owner: Bill Roberts, Birmingham, AL
Car: '32 Ford
Five-Window Coupe
Drivetrain: Chevy LS-7 454 and TH350 transmission
Bill has owned the coupe since 1966 and watched it drag race before that. He drove it all over, then it sat in a basement for 18 years before Johnson's Hot Rod Shop rebuilt it.
Owner: Jack Sheppard, Grovetown, GA
Car: '32 Ford Vicky Speedster
Drivetrain: Chevy 454 and TH350 transmission
We like the Speedstar Vickys, and the two-tone paint on Sheppard's stands out. Paul Atkins matched the colors on the leather interior. The billet five-spokes are from Boyd Coddington.

The Argentinean + Spanish teams have already gathered in Mar del Plata, Argentina to begin preparations for the big Davis Cup final.
Feliciano Lopez, Jose Acasuso, Juan Martin del Potro, and Marcel Gronellers were all spotted getting some practice in before they face off this weekend.
But one question: Was it a requirement for the ballers to arrive at Islas Malvinas stadium working a hairy situation? Some of the boys are repeat offenders (hello Jose) but, irregardless, these "styles" are seriously out-of-control in a BAD way.
Maybe they couldn't put in the effort because they're so close to the off-season they can taste it. Fine, I'll understand...this time.

WOW. JMDP's hair is atrocious. He's teetering on the borderline of mulletville.ReplyDelete
I'm willing to overlook Feli's situation, as I find him to be very dreamy....ooh those eyes! Rich: I'm still in need of that ticket on the Spanish train!! :D
I love your hairy situation posts...I always get a good giggle out of them!ReplyDelete
JMDP should be dressed in a white, polyester suit and platforms, with the Bee Gee's playing in the background. That last kid, Gronellers? Never heard of him. His attempt to cover his receding hairline looks like a really bad rug.ReplyDelete
God, do I miss Rafa...:(
btw--Rich, where's that bj Rafa I ordered? You snag it from the UPS man before I could get to my mailbox??? Lucky stiff.
johanne: ride the spanish train y'all - i know from personal experience...oops!ReplyDelete
brownie: cool - thanks for that
natch: gronellers took over for your boy rafa since he's hurting and all. that's where the similarity ends obvs.
ummm - i'm not sure what to say about the rafa bj. i'll ask my people to contact his people to contact your people and get to the bottom of this.

Good God. David Hasselhoff is playing Davis Cup?ReplyDelete
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nice one anon 3:39, nice.ReplyDelete
Don't forget Mr. Ivanovic. His faux hawk mullet is particularly egregious.ReplyDelete
Hey Rich, Gronellers looks like Jim Carrey in "Dumb and Dumber"!ReplyDelete
van: O...M...G. That is so good!ReplyDelete
Whoa Feli, that's one big mess!ReplyDelete
Dumb and Dumber - that's what this reminded me of! LMAO.ReplyDelete
JMDP's hair looks like it's an actual own creature. It could hop off his bald head any minute now.
And don't get me started on Acasuso. Racoon hats, anyone?
Sooo, does bj Rafa have real hair, or is it only a plastic chunk like on Ken???

What with the Bardou last week and the 2 Caves this, I'm averaging 1.5 telescope purchases a week! "hopefully" the trend will not be maintained, though!
Here's a few pics. 6" Model A Deluxe with 1.5" shafts. This poor li'l guy sat outside for a time, but I don't know how long. Both scopes appear complete, though neither had any eyepieces.


text: Now that we are getting down to the wire on season openers, everyone is honing their gear to get the most for the least weight. As an alternative to battery powered devices that cannot always find a signal, I always carry an old fashioned signaling mirror. These were a staple at anyplace that sold Boy Scout equipment for many years. Nowadays, since the scout handbook teaches cooking on the electric range, they are not so easy to find. An old scuba divers trick is to carry a CD which weighs nothing, costs nothing, and is highly reflective. Good hunting and safe travels to all.

Formulated with a patented blend of Hyaluronic Acid Fragments and Retinaldehyde, this powerful anti-aging cream soothes, moisturizes dry skin, improves elasticity, firms sagging skin, and brightens your facial countenance, all at the same time. Plus, it is fragrance free!
For instant relief from under-the-eye puffiness, use the moisturizing formula of Avene Soothing Eye Contour Cream. Not only will it diminish the appearance of those "pillows" appearing beneath your eyes, but it will also provide antioxidant protection and soothe your skin from irritation. Infused with the therapeutic benefits of Thermal Spring Water, this lightweight creation refines those annoying expression lines that occur with age and the loss of the skin's elasticity. Plus, it is sensitive on the skin since it is fragrance free, preservative free, and hypoallergenic. Tested by ophthalmologists for safety!
