Rated 5 out of 5 by Pauly340 from Awesome Just received my two Petrol shirts. The button down ran way small, and is going back, but this one is pretty much right on. I normally wear larges, but went with the XL after reading the reviews for Petrol button downs. I could probably fit in the L, but it would have been short, so I'd say it runs about a half size small. I don't know what they do to the cotton in Bangladesh, but this is the softest cotton knit I've ever owned. This is a very nice, very comfortable shirt. Just wish their button downs were sized correctly.

|Maressa Smith valiantly fights brain tumor
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 24 October 2013 18:23
Maressa "Reese" Smith, a Wauneta icon for her strength and friendly smile, has fought medical issues since a young age. This evening, Thursday, Oct. 24 friends and family will host a benefit for Reese at the Wauneta American Legion Hall to help defray hospital expenses. (Sheri Hink-Wagner | The Wauneta Breeze)
By Christi Christner
The Wauneta Breeze
Maressa "Reese" Smith has spent her whole life fighting extreme health problems. At the age of four Smith was diagnosed with Leukemia and underwent chemotherapy and radiation. In 2004 she also went through endometria cancer.
After receiving radiation at the age of four, doctors found a radiation induced tumor in the frontal lobe of her head. The tumor was found to encompass several optical nerves and her carotid artery. Her pituitary gland and shriveled arteries began to shut down from the radiation.
On New Year's Eve in 2009, Smith underwent her first head tumor surgery. The neuro-surgeon removed as much of the tumor as he could without damaging any optical nerves or the carotid artery.
Although most of the tumor had been removed, there was still a part of it in her head. Maressa went through five weeks of radiation, five days a week, to try to reduce the tumor.
In February 2013 when Smith went in for an MRI doctors found that the tumor had been growing and she would need yet another craniotomy surgery. Since Smith's veins and arteries had shriveled due to the recent radiation, doctors first had to put in stints in two arteries in her neck and into her carotid artery on the left side.
On April 8, 2013, Smith, underwent another major surgery. Doctor's went to open the right side of her skull to remove the more persistent growing tumor. At the same time, doctors were able to remove another portion of the tumor, but were forced to cut the nerve that allows Reese to open her right eye as well as another nerve that allows for eye movement on the right side.
If that wasn't enough for Maressa to go through, two days after the major surgery, an air pocket was found on the brain, forcing doctors to go back into surgery and remove a piece of her skull to relieve the pressure. Smith remained in ICU and critical condition for many days.
This courageous and tenacious woman's journey did not end there. In August, Reese's neuro-surgeon called her with more bad news and plans of yet another surgery. On Sept. 11, doctors went in through her nasal passages to perform a six and a half hour surgery to remove more of the tumor.
After all surgeries, Smith has had to stay in ICU and the hospital for long amounts of time. She is now staying with her mother and father, Kenny and Barb Smith.
Through the many health problems in her life Smith has not given up fighting. "She is very positive and upbeat about her situation and illness. You would never know anything was wrong from her attitude. She is definitely a fighter," Leanne Hunt, a friend of Smith, says.
Benefit to help with medical expenses
This evening, Thursday Oct. 24, 2013, at 5:30 p.m. MT/ 6:30 p.m. CT at the American Legion Hall in Wauneta, there is going to be a free will donation benefit soup supper held to raise money for Smith's hospital expenses.
There will also be T-shirts for sale at the benefit that say, "Root for Reese."
The benefit is being organized by Smith's family and friends, along with many people in the community that work at Valley Bank, Wauneta Crossroads and Wauneta Co-op Oil.
There will be at least four different kinds of soups and desserts served at the Legion.
If anyone in Wauneta wants or needs a ride to and from the benefit the Handibus will be giving free rides. Call (308) 394-5287 or Dallis Breese, the driver, at (308) 520-9154 for more information.
Benefit organizers say anyone and everyone is invited to come and help defray medical expenses as much as they can.
Those close to her say Smith has not only been brave and positive her whole life, but has also been a strong inspiration for many people.

Hi All,
I would like to know how I can migrate the qmail mails to zimbra. I am trying to convince my organization to mote to zimbra. We currently use qmail. I would be happy to know the process to migrate qmail mails to zimbra. The mails boxes are very big to import from the mail clients(Approx 2GB each account). I am taking about 80 GB of mails to be moved from qmail server to zimbra. I cannot ask the clients to download their mails(we currently use IMAPS4) as the mail boxes are big and if they start the downloads, the mail server will get overloaded.
Is there any way that I can copy all the mails from the qmail server to a shared folder/zimbra server and from there I can migrate them.
Any help would be appreciated as I can give a full end-to-end plan to my organization.
Thanks in advance .
Abdul Khader

Marja Lianko: From There to Here
December 6, 2012, to January 12, 2013
Opening Reception: Thursday, December 6, 6:30 p.m.
HANCOCK, MI - The 21st Contemporary Finnish American Artist Series exhibit, "Marja Lianko: From There to Here," will be featured at the Finlandia University Gallery, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock, from December 6, 2012, to January 12, 2013.
An opening reception for the exhibit will take place in coordination with Finlandia University's annual Finnish Independence Day celebration on Thursday, December 6, at 6:30 p.m., at the Finnish American Heritage Center. Marja Lianko will give an artist talk during the event. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
On a wintry morning several decades ago, Finnish immigrant Marja Lianko arrived in New York City by ship following a stormy Atlantic Ocean crossing. "I remember that I had no inkling how my life was going to turn out," Lianko reflects. "I was twenty-years-old with a head full of dreams and a new green card in my pocket."
Lianko's paintings chronicle her emigration journey, from childhood memories to the personal symbolisms of a new life discovered and fully-lived. In an article in the Boston Globe, art critic and writer Cate McQuaid comments that, "(Lianko's) paintings seem to represent a deeper truth, a kind of music accompanying her through life."
Other influences on Lianko's work are her travels within the U.S. and in Europe, her experiences as a new mother, balancing life and work in a new country, and her memories of Finland. "I see a map of my life with markers for time and change," she notes.
"I see uplifting events, new discoveries, and visits to foreign lands. I also see trying times, obstructions, and sorrow, all of them creating a personal patchwork of intricate patterns ... and Finland," says Lianko, "always Finland, with its melancholic beauty, the birches, the pine trees, the somber songs of my childhood, appearing again and again."
Lianko has worked in media including painting, silkscreen, monoprints, and mixed media sculpture.
The importance of color in her work has remained a constant. "My use of color has always been instinctive, influenced by what is around me," says Lianko. "In Finland, the contrast is striking: the lack of color through the long, dark winter or the abundance of it in the short, but lovely summer. I remember yearning for color through the dark days; perhaps it is this yearning that, too, has had an influence on my artwork."
Lianko studied at the Apollo School in Helsinki, Finland, before coming to the United States. She completed a bachelor of fine arts and a master of fine arts at Tufts University, Medford, Mass., and a master of arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Mass., where she taught from 1976 to 1999. She also taught at Simmons College, Boston, from 1993 to 1998.
Lianko's work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Finland, and Ireland. Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Mass.; the DeCordova Museum, Lincoln, Mass.; and Tufts University.
"Marja Lianko: From There to Here" will be on display at the Finlandia University Gallery through January 12, 2013.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment. The gallery will be closed from December 21, 2012, to January 2, 2013.
For additional information, please contact Carrie Flaspohler, director of the Finlandia University Gallery, at 906-87-7500 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thomas H. Redmond, Jr.
Tom made his mark as a great receiver on the Butler football team. In 1972, against Ball State, Tom racked up 211 yards in receiving on 15 catches. While the yardage record stood until 1990, the 15 catches is still a Butler record. At the end of the 1972 season, Tom had amassed 1,031 total receiving yards on 73 catches, becoming the first player in Butler football history with over 1,000 receiving yards in a season. He finished his career in first place on Butler's all-time list for receiving yards with 1,933 on 117 receptions. Tom was named 1971 Indiana Collegiate Conference Lineman of the Year.

Kinect Sensor Mount
Marc Killpack (http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~mkillpack3, mkillpack3_at_gatech.edu), Advisor: Prof. Charlie Kemp
After some basic steps to disassemble the base of the Kinect, we can use the mount described here to attach the Kinect sensor to a robot or other fixture (see examples below from HRL). If the intended purpose is for static use, there is a shaft that allows you to orient the Kinect plus or minus 30 degrees. If the purpose is to attach the Kinect to a moving part/robot, then we recommend the use of the supports as seen below in the instructions. We developed this as an alternative to having to open up the actual sensor casing and use its screw holes.
Making the Kinect Mount
We used a 3D printer to make our mount out of ABS plastic. The same parts could be machined out of metal if desired but would likely require some modifications to the tolerances and the thicknesses of some parts. The following sections list the necessary parts and explain the basic assembly of the mount from start to finish.
Solid Works Files
The main solid works files necessary for the mount are as follows:
The following files are examples of how we have modified the original to work for our robots:
- pr2_top, pr2_base, cody_top_side_mount, cody_base_side_mount, cody_top_under_mount, cody_base_under_mount, playpen_base
Steps to Disassemble Kinect Base and Attach New Mount
The top_piece can now be slid into place over the stem.
Attach the shaft piece using the small phillips screwdriver with the screw that held the original gear in place.
Attach a layer of double sided tape (any padding around 2-3 mm will do) to the supports leaving the paper on the side that is towards the Kinect. This allows us to slide the supports into place and get a firm fit before attaching them to the top piece using M3 X 10 screws from the inside of the top.
Examples of Kinect Mounts at HRL
Kinect mounted on our mobile manipulator Cody and a side view of the mount on a Robotis servo.
Two views of the Kinect mount for our robot playpen for autonomous manipulation data capture.
Kinect mounted to the PR2 head.

|Delegates report on experiences at Colorado Boys State
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Each year, the American Legion selects young men who have just completed their junior year of high school to attend Colorado Boys State.
Held June 2-8 on the Colorado State University-Pueblo campus, this year's event was attended by Ryan Parker, Zach Roll and Tanner Smith.
The boys spent the week learning the ins-and-outs of American government while meeting and building friendships with hundreds of other delegates.
A report by each of the delegates follows:
By Ryan Parker
Boys State. Two words with many opportunities and challenges for a whole week. Throughout my week at CSU-Pueblo, I was told numerous times that "The people that got to go to Colorado Boys State were the best of the best and our future!" And I honestly didn't think I was that great.
On the first day when we registered, everybody figured out we would get two shirts for the whole week. Many people asked questions about how they would live a whole week with two identical shirts.
Once we got all of that settled, we were all running for our city positions. While everybody was talking about how they were number one in their class, and 4.0+ GPAs, I assumed that I wouldn't ever get the chance to be elected for any part of our city, but I actually ended up getting the position on the election commission.
My role was to count up all of the votes with nine other younger men. I walked into my meeting with the rest of the election commissioners and suddenly got nervous, because I didn't know any of the guys in the room, and I knew that they would all take it very seriously. Each one of them was actually very nice and listened to everybody's opinion.
Due to the late registration of my roommate, I didn't meet him until 11 p.m. the first night. We talked and I had to explain to him where Holyoke was by telling him how close to Nebraska we are.
He was shocked because he went to school in a private school in Denver.
The second day rolled along, and that was when I realized how much time I spend outside, knowing that I wouldn't be able to even walk outside or do any physical activity until 6 that evening!
We woke up, ate breakfast, then had the flag ceremony, which is a huge part at Boys State, and everybody takes it very seriously!
That morning, at our general assembly, we learned how to write a bill, which interested me because we did it when I was hungry, and the lady speaking gave an example by using pizza, and how we would get a certain amount of pepperoni pizzas.
Many people took that seriously, and got into a huge argument, which I found amusing because it was 8 in the morning!
After the general assembly, we went into our counties and selected many positions. Since I was elected to the election commission, I was unable to run for anything.
The day went on and finally, it was recreation time! I ended up playing basketball. I met up with Zach Roll and Tanner Smith. I figured we wouldn't be as good as some people because they played varsity on 4A and 5A teams. We were the only people that played for a 2A team there!
We all decided that we were probably the three best people there! It made us feel a lot better about ourselves, knowing that we played better than kids from bigger schools!
Then later that night, we retired the flags, then had our city meetings.
On the third day, it started being a routine, wake up, breakfast, flag ceremony, general assembly, retire flag, but then, we had our primary election that decided who the finalists would be for the final election.
With hard work from all the candidates, we narrowed it down to two people running for governor, two for lieutenant governor, and four for U.S. Senator. Then we had recreation time, where basketball was exactly the same.
There was something about the third day that I liked so much more than the first two days. Maybe because there were more people or I was finally getting to know everybody in my city! I honestly have no clue, but it was a blast!
Day four came along, and we did the same routine, then we had another vote. We had to narrow it down to one governor, one lieutenant governor, and two U.S. Senators in which the two U.S. Senators would go to Washington D.C. to represent Colorado!
During the recreation time, Zach and I ended up doing laundry because we both noticed we were running out of clean clothes, and even though we only had three days left of Boys State, we had to wash everything for our basketball camp following the week-long adventure.
We got to our city meeting, and we almost ended up impeaching our mayor because he wasn't exactly the nicest guy. He always yelled at everybody, and always put himself before everybody! But all of my city chickened out of it.
Day number five came up, very quickly! The whole week flew by and I was amazed with how much that I learned about our government!
I figured since I was in government class my junior year that I would know almost everything, and I ended up learning so much more about the United States of America!
On the fifth day we were in the senate. It was crazy how many bills there were that we needed to decide on, ranging from gun laws, to emergency bacon acts which called for an emergency bacon dispenser, two pieces for a quarter.
On the sixth day of Boys State my advisor gave me a speech in the morning which made all of us laugh a lot and started our day off on a good note!
We were back in the senate again, and we all decided that we needed to get many bills passed, because it would be our last day to work on them, and we only had about two or three done. We ended up passing many of the bills!
Later on in the day we all gathered together as the state legislature, and talked about all of our accomplishments that we had in that week, knowing it was our last day together and the day of the Boys State Graduation!
Many people went home right after the graduation, which led Zach, Tanner and me on a pop machine hunt, where we found the one outdoor pop machine on all of the campus, and probably the only one that worked.
While looking off a random building at CSU-Pueblo, a police officer came up and yelled, "You aren't planning on jumping, are you!?"
And we said, "No, we are just taking a picture of this view because we don't get this in northeastern Colorado!" So he went on his way. I looked at the railing where it said "Don't die wondering," which made us all understand why the officer came and talked to us!
The rest of the night went on with a vending machine problem. But a very funny night, where a guy showed Zach, Tanner and me his fishing pole he made with his pencil.
This was a great opportunity, and I believe that every guy should go if they can, because it is an excellent program and I really enjoyed every minute of it!
It went by super fast, but I was so glad that I went and got this once-in-a-lifetime deal, that many people can't do! I want to thank the American Legion for allowing me to participate in Colorado Boys State, Laura and Jeff Roll for the ride up to Pueblo, my parents for the ride to Fort Collins and Rhonda and Marissa Smith for the rides around Fort Collins, and allowing us to stay in Marissa's apartment!
By Zach Roll
Since going to Pueblo is a five-hour drive and check-in was at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Tanner Smith, Ryan Parker and I went up that Saturday to stay at my father's aunt and uncle's house to have our night of hanging out before we got separated into our cities the next day.
I remember Sunday morning in the check-in line that my two friends and I were cracking a lot of jokes, probably because we were so nervous and had no idea what to expect out of a week with 200-plus strangers. We heard many interesting things just in the check-in line, such as a veteran asking a student what the heck a Facebook is.
When we got to the lobby, Tanner, Ryan and I were talking when out of nowhere we got our picture taken by one of the Boys State staff members. All three of us noticed, but decided to play it cool and act like we didn't notice.
After we had checked in, it was time to put our stuff in our rooms. I learned that day that my roommate was one of the quietest people on earth.
Thinking back, I hope I didn't keep my roommate awake, as he was in bed by 11 p.m. and I usually came in about 2 a.m. after watching movies in the lounge with my counselor and three other buddies, and yes, this was every night.
That Sunday night we had our city meetings in which we selected city officials such as mayor, police chief (me), fire chief, parks and recreation coordinator, city treasurer, city council, etc.
Some of these offices (treasurer) were elected via nose goes (if no one wanted the job, someone said nose goes, and whoever put their finger on their nose last got the job).
After the city meetings, it was about 10:30 p.m. and we were headed back to our dorms. The first night was the only night that I had gone to bed at the lights out time of 11. I would live to regret this.
Every morning, we would wake up at about 6:30 a.m. to go eat breakfast at the cafeteria. After breakfast, we would gather in the ballroom, which served as the meeting place for our general assemblies.
Day two was county day, so we got the pleasure of listening to a guest speaker, who is a county commissioner for El Paso County.
This is the day we elected our county officials. Each candidate running gave a 30-second speech. Some were very humorous and clever and others were very serious and intriguing.
I believe this was also the day we broke into our party caucuses, where we elected a party chairman and decided on a party platform. I'm proud to say that for the Federalist Party we elected Luke Farquhar as our chairman, who we all referred to as Lord Farquad from the movie "Shrek." We learned that his low booming voice demanded respect, ran meetings efficiently and made for a hilarious, serious sense of humor every once in a while.
Once we got into the week, people ran for state office such as governor, lieutenant governor and two senator positions. Stories we heard from candidates were very diverse, and even outlandish at times. Everyone loved this campaign slogan, "Vote for me, it will be cool." After saying this, the candidate opened his full water bottle and poured it on his head. The room erupted in applause, but unfortunately this candidate lost.
It wasn't all jokes, though. We got to know the candidates personally during Q-and-A. What really mattered, was what the candidates stood up for and wanted to fight for.
I remember a kid named TJ Stokes, running for senator, and everyone agreed that he sounded like Abraham Lincoln: very serious, very honest and down to earth. He wasn't afraid to be honest in what he stood for. TJ ended up winning one senator position with the overwhelming win in the polls. Two senators were selected, and over 80 votes separated TJ from the second senator winner.
Now it gets interesting. Every position at every level has now been filled and then we broke into the House of Representatives and into the Senate where we discussed bills and whether they would pass or be shot down.
Bills ranged from emergency bacon acts and sending red heads to a treatment facility to teachers being trained to carry weapons in schools and drug testing of government officials.
We soon learned that, unless we got into physical confrontation, we were allowed to say whatever we felt, which made for a very real experience on what government is really like. We were truly running our own government without help from counselors or advisors at this point and it was truly rewarding. Discussions were heated then boring, to downright odd and hilarious.
As far as the serious stuff goes, we all grew deeper in our appreciation for our armed forces and for our government. Great sacrifices must be made all the time for us to live the life we live. The flag ceremonies had a very real feeling to them, and all of it was so powerful.
The veterans told us many of their stories, which were all so vivid and detailed. We also learned the meaning behind our city names. They were named after missing Colorado native prisoners of war and those missing in action.
Learning the story of our city was gut wrenching, and it places in your heart so much respect. It places a duty in us to, in some way, serve this great country and to give this country the respect it deserves. We all had an overwhelming sense of respect and pride for the country we live in.
My favorite part of the trip was, really, all of it. I met new friends that I will continue to keep in touch with. The talent show was amazing, card tricks, singing, violin playing, a bagpipe stud, pianists, you name it, there was an incredible level of talent at this camp.
The most awesome feeling was when they played the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, and all of Boys State became a choir and sang all together, which was truly amazing. That became our state song, which they played at the beginning of our slideshow at graduation.
It is such an honor that I completed the week at Boys State. It is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. I met so many amazing men who have made an impact on everyone around them.
Staying up until 2 a.m. watching "Red Tails," to waking up early the next morning for a full day of work, all of it helped me ultimately become a better person and a better leader.
I want to thank my great-grandparents Eunice and Elton for giving me the idea of going to Boys State, and my parents for pushing me to follow through. I will always remember my week in Pueblo for Colorado Boys State.
By Tanner Smith
On Saturday, June 1, I loaded my belongings and myself into the car and headed to Pueblo to attend the 2013 American Legion Boys State. I was somewhat apprehensive as to what lay ahead of me, not truly knowing what to expect out of my experience.
Keeping an open mind and positive attitude about the whole thing, I bravely ventured on into the unknown. What I discovered upon check-in the early morning of June 2, was a well-organized, lively, positive atmosphere.
Within a room filled with other high school juniors and a caring staff, I felt much more at ease and even a little excited as to what the week had in store for me.
I was assigned to Simpson City and my Boys State journey began. We were told our goal this week was to create the 51st state. Day one consisted of registration, a general assembly, our first city meeting, a retreat ceremony and another general assembly. More city meetings were held in which we formed parties and elected city officials such as the mayor, members of council, election commissioner and city treasurer.
We also appointed the fire chief, city clerk, parks and recreation commissioner, health officer and police chief. We had Boys State Citizen staff meetings and had a city meeting … and that was just day one!
Day two was County Political Party Day. We learned about caucuses and divided into party caucuses by county.
Our two party caucuses were the Nationalist and Federalist. I was part of the Federalist Party. We had general assemblies, learned about parliamentary procedure and merged into full county caucuses.
We also had our normal routine of the flag ceremony, citizen staff meetings and city meetings. Something new to our routine today was a recreation period, which was much needed, and talent show rehearsal.
Tuesday, day three was Primary Day. Today we had our normal routine of things and then our main focus of the day was the state party convention, a general assembly with a guest speaker, work on party platforms, primary elections, city counselors' meeting, citizen staff meeting and city meetings.
This was a day of lots of new things for me to learn about and understand!
Day four was our General Election Day and filled with campaigning and political party speeches. We divided into state party conventions in which the Nationalist candidates attended the Federalist Convention and the Federalist candidates attended the Nationalist Convention for an open question and answer session.
Then each returned to their respective parties for a general assembly and final speeches. We then had elections followed by our normal evening routine.
Thursday, day five was Legislation Day. After our normal morning routine, we divided into the Senate and House of Representatives. I was part of the House of Representatives.
Within these two we introduced, deliberated, debated and passed bills and laws. This day consisted of a lot of interesting and lively "conversations," often in the form of passionate yelling, arguing and name calling!
It was quite the interesting day to be a part of, and I'm sure, very realistic to what actually goes on within our established Senate and House of Representatives when our members of legislature, senators and congressmen are trying to get their bills passed!
This was also a very tedious day with much argument and debate over small things, such as wording of a bill and the first, second and third reading of all bills. During all of this, we were reminded that "You started out as an eager but unacquainted group of young men to form the government of the 51st state. That government is now assembled and functioning. It is now necessary to create laws that will make the government a better and more realistic regulator of our society. So give it all your newfound abilities that make the 51st state what it is today, the American Legion Colorado Boys State."
After a much filled day, we also had our talent show, citizen staff meetings and city meetings.
Friday, day six was Graduation Day! By this time, our final morning routing of early breakfast, flag ceremony and general assembly were even more meaningful, because we all knew this would be our last time sharing it together.
After the general assembly, our morning was filled with more work within the Senate and House of Representatives in which we had to complete requirements of the 10 bills and have presentations of the resolutions.
The afternoon consisted of the joint session of state legislature and preparation for the graduation banquet. The banquet was really nice because all citizens formed up with their respective city and entered the banquet hall together, each city entering one at a time. At 10 p.m. we had our final city meetings.
Saturday, June 8, was our seventh and final day at Boys State. We had a citizens' breakfast and check-out.
Although exhausting, I learned a great deal from Boys State and valued the experience. Most of my learning came from the steps and processes of the way our government works, how to write and pass bills and laws, the official rules of parliamentary procedure and all about city, county and state caucuses.
It was also a very competitive atmosphere in that each city and party was lobbying for their own bills and laws to get passed. I am proud to say that my city of Simpson created the most bills and ran for the highest offices. I also learned more about flag etiquette and created lasting friendships.
Along with this huge learning process came a better understanding of our military and the American Legion. Because the program is run by our military veterans, I gained a new and inspired admiration for the veterans that have served our country.
Although some days became long, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Boys State to future high school juniors.
It is an excellent, hands-on, fully immersed way to learn how our government works and what all is involved in creating a new state. It is also great, and my favorite part of the experience, is meeting new people and creating new friendships.

Hello All,
Been a while since my last post; alas, school has kept me busy. In making my map of Eriond a few people asked about the method I used to create my trees. I had used Ascencion's Atlas style tutorial (converted by Gidde into GIMP) to create the map, but had added some slight modifications of my own. One such modification was to use the clouds generated "Hills" layer instead as a "Trees" layer. One problem I found however, was that since these clouds were randomly generated, the resultant trees that they yielded also appeared in random shapes, and in random places within my map, causing me to have to erase unwanted trees, and cut and paste trees in the regions where I wanted them. This made me cranky. Not happy with the original method, I figured that there had to be an easier way. After casting about for a bit for inspiration for a new method, I came upon RobA's "Making Not so Random Coastlines in GIMP" tutorial. Thanks to Rob's brilliance, I got my new method, and here it is: not-so-random photorealistic trees in GIMP (see the .jpgs below for an example of what you should be able to get out of this tutorial).
Thanks to Ascension, Gidde and RobA for much of the inspiration of this method, and to Hohum for beta-testing it for me and providing me with helpful feedback.
EDIT: After two years of minor revisions, I have decided to rewrite an updated version of this tutorial. This updated tutorial now includes some custom patterns which you can find below. To install these, download the folder, unzip it, and save them to the patterns folder of GIMP. Then open or refresh GIMP and they should show up in the patterns dialogue.

Organic Shade Grown Mexico
This bright, nutty-flavored whole bean coffee with the crisp finish is certified organic and grown under shade trees on small farms in Chiapas, Mexico. Farmers near the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, the last remaining cloud forest in southern Mexico, are helping to protect its biodiversity by using traditional shade tree growing methods, which provide a natural habitat for the forest's many migratory birds species.
For more than a decade, Starbucks and Conservation International have been working together with farmers to help protect the biodiversity of forests like El Triunfo.
Balanced, Smooth & Rich
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Coarse for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

I have five servers:
2 LDAP servers
2 MTA servers
1 Mailbox server
All running version 5.0.1.
I have been running self-signed certs for over a year, and I am now install commercial certs. I am using a wildcard cert if it make any difference.
I used the web interface to generate the CSR, but it wouldn't install via the web interface. I installed it via the command-line it looks like it worked. If I view the cert in the admin interface it shows properly. However with I hit the web site or refresh the admin page it is still show the old certificate.
I then installed the comm cert on all my servers. I checked the admin interface and they are all using the new wildcard cert. But still the web interface and admin interface are using the old certificate. I have tried recreating the CA, redeploying the CA removing the /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/server folder, but it is still using the old self-signed cert. I'm not even sure where it is getting the cert from
Does this have something to do with the fact that the LDAP server is a CA?
Thanks in advanced!

Mountain Hardwear did everything they could to make the Supermega UL 2-person Tent as light and convenient as possible. The lightweight yet durable nylon ripstop floor and fly compress down small and add scant ounces. The Supermega UL doesn't skimp on space or durability, though; it's plenty big enough for two people to sleep comfortably and tough enough for heavy winds and nasty weather.
- 10D nylon fly and 30D nylon ripstop floor keep weight to an absolute minimum
- Super-lightweight DAC Featherlight NSL aluminum poles add strength without weighing down your pack
- Fully taped fly, taped perimeter seam, welded corners, and welded guy-clip anchors for guaranteed watertight construction
- Lightweight buckles and webbing further reduce tent weight
- Front vestibule entry gives you a place to store boots so you don't track snow or mud into the tent
- Pitch light configuration allows you to set up a shelter with just the footprint, poles, and fly for a 8 ounce weight reduction (footprint sold separately)

Good Morning Sunshine
Yes, I was wearing socks with sandals. For more info see my review.
Home Sweet Home
Looking into the tent from the door. The tent tapers down near the end. At the entrance is is plenty wide for two regular sized neo air pads. At the end not so much. I would recommend a tapered pads for best fit if you are using two pads. See my review for more info.
Mega Super
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
To summarize: This tent is light. Real light. If you want to know more, read on.
-This thing is light. You would be hard pressed to find a 2 man double wall tent as lighter than this.
-The green color. Doesn't stand out to much in the outdoors. It does block out some light, but it is worth the trade off. The color doesn't deter from the natural beauty of where it is pitched, I appreciate that, some may not care.
-I love that this is a double wall tent. It allows for multiple pitch options. You can set it up as just the mesh tent for clear nights to keep out the bugs. You can also set up just the fly with the footprint to get the weight even lower.
- This is freestanding tent. You don't have to stake it out if you don't want to. In some locations it is almost necessary. Allows for very quick setup.
-Very easy to set up. Straight forward and simple. There are some plastic pieces that seem fragile, but I haven't had any issues with them yet. This tent is made of very lightweight materials, and requires that you treat it a little more carefully.
-The size is a great size for one person. Plenty of room inside for you and your gear.
-The stakes are very high quality. Not crappy aluminum ones that will bend the first time you use them. They didn't skimp on the stakes.
-The Supermega UL 2 is very waterproof. I have stayed completely dry in downpours. There is also minimal condensation.
-Has a pocket on either side of the door in the mesh that is a perfect place for a headlamp or something you need to get to easily in the night.
-The zippers slide easily and have corded pulls, so they don't make any noise in the wind.
-The reflective guylines are a nice feature. They basically glow at night under headlamp light. Very easy to see and avoid tripping over.
-The guy points allow you to stake this tent out to handle some serious winds. I have never had any issues with wind.
-The tent tapers at the bottom. This makes it difficult to fit two square pads. It can be done, but it causes the sides of the tent to bulge. If you want to fit two pads it might be best to get tapered pads.
-It is a tight fit for two, but most ultra light tents are. It if fine for my wife and I. I am 5'8" and she is 5'5". If you plan on sharing it with someone make sure it is someone you are alright being real close to.
-The door is a little small and a little tricky to get into.
-You have to buy the footprint separately and it is basically just a piece of tyvek with a couple grommets and some webbing in the corners.
-When the poles are folded up there are a little long, about 22". When backpacking this isn't an issue. When bikepacking or packing on a motorcycle to do some motorcycle camping the longer poles can be in issue. The poles are too long for some panniers and/or frame bags, make it necessary to strap then on somewhere else. I wish the poles were a little shorter when packed.
-Price, for a tent this light with this functionality you have to pay to play.
It may see like there are a lot of cons. They are not necessarily cons, but trade offs that have to be made for something so light. This is a great tent, and the pack size and weight are amazing. With a weight that is close to some bivy sacks but the functionally of a tent it is amazing. This tent may be expensive, but I feel it is definitely worth the cost.
The Best Free Standing UL tent
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used the Super Mega UL 2 as a solo tent for the last two years mainly for a base shelter for peakbagging. There is room for your sleep system, backpack, boots and room to spare. The tent goes up quick, pitches taunt including no loose mesh on the inside drooping in on you. The elliptical design cuts the wind while the side fly guyouts are connected to the tent body allowing for excellent ventilation. Most of my trips have it pitched at 5-8k' and it's performed awesomely for the weight. Good shoulder season tent.
Mountain Hardwear Supermega UL Tent 2
Great Tent
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have taken this tent on 3 trips now. It's very lightweight, and fits inside my pack (MH Wandrin 48) perfectly. I did also buy the footprint, which is way overpriced, and made out of cheap tyvek, but because it was a separate purchase it does not affect the review of the tent. However it does raise the weight to about 3 lbs total. The tent pitches fast, and is freestanding, but stakes are required to use the rain fly. You could get away with 4 stakes in low wind. 2 Adults will fit in this tent, but it will be tight. Tapered or 3/4 length Sleeping Pads fit best. With two people your packs will have to go outside, there is only enough room in the vestibule for one pack. I have only slept in the tent alone, and had plenty of room for me and my pack. The reflective guy lines are a plus when you have to find your tent in the dark (don't forget your headlamp on that midnight pee expedition) The color is a huge plus, and one of the main reasons I chose this tent over the BA Flycreek 2. I like for my tent to blend into the environment. The hub style tent poles are great, and snap into position quickly. Care is needed when packing,shoving poles and tent stakes can snag on the mesh on the tent body. If you need extra room in your pack the tent will easily fit on the side of a pack in one of the water bottle pockets.
Solid UltraLight!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The supermega UL 2 is a well thought out light weight backpacking tent. I have used this tent almost a dozen times now and it has held up against southern Utah monsoon like downpours to uinta mountain rainy days. Clear nights with no rain fly are great if you want to get your star watch on as well.
If you are trekking solo this tent provides ample room for you and your gear. With a second person it is a tight fit, but not too uncomfortable. I prefer it when backpacking because of the 2.7 pounds it weighs and it takes up such a small amount of room in my pack.
My only complaint about this tent is the lack of headroom. I am 5' 11" and sitting up inside the tent is almost impossible with a 2nd person. When I am camping alone however, it is quite comfortable.
Not all there
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I purchased this tent to replace a Big Agnes tent. I also ordered the footprint. I was disappointed that the footprint is really just a piece of tyvek like material that was bulky, white in color and had ties outs at the corners. It also was extremely noisy and heavy. The tent itself has good shape but had very little stability in wind. The product comes with eight stakes but there are ten tie out points. Thus the weight is really inaccurate in that to obtain stability you would need to add two stakes. Between the footprint issue and the stability issue, I did not find this to be a functional product for me. Add two stakes, make an appropriate footprint and then recalculate for a more accurate weight. I returned the tent under Backcountry's fabulous return policy.
I disagree with this evaluation. The tent does indeed come with eight stakes and there are two guylines on the main hoop that would require two more stakes. I use Easton six inch stakes available right here on Backcountry.com, which weigh 0.25 ounces each adding 1/2 ounce to the total weight. No one includes the weight of a foot print in any of the tent specs so why the requirement on THIS tent. I use Tyvek 1443R available on Amazon and make my own ground cloths and avoid the stiff feel of regular Tyvek or I use Polycro available at Gossamer Gear for an even lighter solution to the ground cloth problem. Mostly I don't use a ground cloth at all. As to the stability, I used my tent for the first time this weekend and did not find it to be even slightly unstable in what I considered to be moderate windy conditions and I didn't stake out the two lines on the main hoop. I'll post my own review after I've used it a few more times.
Mountain Hardwear SuperMega UL
Can I get a height from some of you Supermega 2P users...I'm 6'2" and want to make sure I fit . Peace!
Hey PowMow1,
The interior height of the tent is low. So you will be sitting or kneeling inside the tent when you are maneuvering around. The floor dimensions are about 7 ft long. So laying down you will be able to fit the tent nicely (probably with your head towards the door).
How many stakes does the MH Supermegal UL...
How many stakes does the MH Supermegal UL 2 come with? Any idea on how much they weigh?
Comes with eight; add two Easton stakes for right at one ounce and you have ten for the ten tieouts. Read excellent review of this tent on backpackinglight.com. You will rarely, if ever, need to use the two tie outs.

Project Nova Rollbar Installation - Hoop It Up!Written by Johnny Hunkins on September 1, 2012 Getting serious about your car? A rollbar can add stiffness, safety, and confidence to your driving
Deciding to go with a weld-in rollbar is a major turning point in building any street car. There's a mental block that says, "Hey, this is a race car," when you still want it to function as a street car. The choice to do a rollbar, however, is made a lot easier if you know that not only will you be safer, but your ride will be much stiffer, and as a result, will feel much lighter. Why? Because a stiff chassis is one that responds quicker, moves sooner, and preserves the intended suspension geometry better. It's also why weld-in beats bolt on every time.
For Project Nova, we reached out to Art Morrison Enterprises for one of their eight-point mild steel rollbar kits. AME is a major player for chassis, rollcages, and rollbars, and has for decades been synonymous with cutting-edge chassis design and safety. Our general-use AME eight-point kit is a time-tested design, offering the protection and stiffness we desire while fulfilling the necessary safety requirement. We also supplemented this kit with the optional rear seat retention mod; this places the rear bars over the top of the rear seat and through the package tray instead of through the seat back. We'd be able to keep our rear seats for that rare situation when we still need to use it. Street use being the primary function of this '68 Nova, we also ordered a Morrison swing-out side bar kit. This retains the driver-side bar in place for safety on the track, while allowing it to swing out—or be removed entirely—for use on the highway. Suddenly, a race-only deal has become quite street friendly. A win-win situation for sure.
With any rollbar installation, consideration must be given to seating and harnesses. We had already installed a beautiful and supportive pair of Corbeau Sport seats in black vinyl ($299 each), so it was only natural to choose a matching pair of black Corbeau three-point dual-release harnesses. The "dual release" refers to the extra shoulder strap latch, which can be disconnected from behind for stowage, rear seat access, or maintenance. The Corbeau seat/harness combo is the perfect choice for modernized muscle that sees aggressive street and track use. It feels great, looks good, and won't break your bank.
Of course, doing a truly safe weld-in rollbar depends on having a competent MIG welder—which we have in the form of a Millermatic 211 with Auto-Set. The Millermatic 211 was designed from the outset for serious hobbyists and professionals; the features we love the most are its ability to operate on either 120 or 230 V, and to take the guesswork out of control setup. With Miller's Auto-Set, all you do is set your filler wire thickness and your material thickness via two dials. The Millermatic 211 will set the wire feed speed and amperage automatically for a perfect weld every time. And the Smooth-Start feature provides a spatter-free start too.
Putting it all together for us was Ron Aschtgen of Outlaw Motorsports in Riverside, California. Outlaw does a lot of rollbar and rollcage installations, as well as full chassis fabrication, and this job was right in their wheelhouse. For a job like ours, Aschtgen typically charges $750 for the labor—which in our case includes doing the swing-out bar, mounting the harnesses, and painting the rollbar. Total time on our eight-point Morrison kit was 12 hours over a two-day period. We are extremely pleased with Aschtgen's handiwork, and we will have no qualms tossing this Nova around on the track.
Take a look at how Outlaw tailored the AME kit for our '68 Nova, then go over to www.YouTube.com/PopularHotRodding and check out the videos "Rollbar Installation" Parts 1 and 2 to get the inside scoop on how Aschtgen got the job done!

A tubing cutter is indispensable for fabbing a rollbar. Eastwood also offers one (PN 21749, $69.99) that cuts up to 2 inches in diameter at angles up to 60 degrees. Here Aschtgen makes a cut on one of the rear-facing bars.To mate the rear-facing down bar to the plate that will go in the trunk, a narrow angle had to be cut to make it flush with the plate. A bandsaw is ideal for this long cut, but Aschtgen also used a cold saw for cuts with shallower angles.Several things you can see from this shot: The main hoop has only been tack welded at this point so that it may be moved easily if needed. The main hoop has also been painted to simplify matters later; areas to be welded will be wiped with paint thinner as needed. The rear bars have actually been trial fit several times: to fine-tune the angle of the trunk joint, to sneak up on the bar length, to open a hole in the package tray, and to tweak the bend in the bars.Here's the intended trunk joint. See how the square mounting plate has been formed to the shape of the trunk. It's also near a corner, which is inherently stronger.The main hoop and rear bars are initially mocked up and tacked into place. Once you're happy with the placement of those, you can weld it permanently before moving on to the crossbar, side struts, and forward bars—in that order. Check out the auto-sensing "Arc Armor" Digital Camo welding helmet from Miller (PN 248-260). It automatically dims when welding, and you can set how much light it will screen out and how fast it reacts.You want to sneak up on cutting and notching the crossbar—you can't make it longer if you cut it too short. Aschtgen checks that the height is the same on both sides before welding it in place. This one is 22� inches from the bottom; our Corbeau harnesses will wrap around it and over the shoulder perfectly.The AME side struts gave us the perfect opportunity to further stiffen the chassis by tying them into our welded-in DSE subframe connectors (see "Twist and Shout!" June '12). The key is to place all rollbar joints where they can do the most good. Note the aluminum sheet between the main hoop and the interior panel. Aschtgen used this technique extensively; it avoids damage to the headliner and interior while welding.For sidebar placement, Aschtgen temporarily reinstalled the seats and marked the bar where the bends were needed. The armrest bend should be made first, followed by an elbow at the floorboard plate.While grinding a spot on the rocker channel for the sidebar's plate, we discovered another nice surprise from the previous owner—a huge fiberglass patch job in the floorboard that was nicely disguised by spray-on rustproofing. We ripped it all out, revealing lots of rust holes. We'll bring you the floor patch panel story next month!
Note the downward elbow that Aschtgen bent into the sidebar where it meets the baseplate. All the moves up to this point were repeated on the passenger side—up to the point where we cut the bar out to put in the swing-out kit. We're keeping the bar solid on the passenger side to beef up the overall stiffness.This small tab was added at the base of the side strut on top of the DSE subframe connector. This will be the anchor point for our three-point Corbeau harnesses.Here's the AME swing-out sidebar kit. The left piece is the hinge for the bottom of the bar; the right one is the latch side that goes at the hoop. We upgraded the ⅜-inch pivot bolt to a �-inch bolt to give it more strength. The locking pin can only come out when the spring-loaded button is pushed.We hated cutting out a perfectly good sidebar—but it was worth it for the added convenience. The pipe you remove is used for the swing out, so mark the orientation before you cut it.The swing-out bar will need to be shortened slightly, and the hinge side beveled for clearance. The hinge channel should be welded first. Then carefully measure/drill the pivot bolt for the hinge, and grind a nice clearance radius for easy swing out. Finally, you can weld the latch channel (shown). The channel can be held to the swing-out bar with the pin in place to help inform your weld.We like Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black satin for a rollbar, which sees lots of wear and scraping at touch points. Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black has three times the resin of normal chassis paint, making it incredibly durable when wear is an issue.For running autocross or track events (not to mention on the street), Corbeau's three-point double-release belts are perfect. They bolt directly to existing harness points, with the shoulder belt typically mounting to a rear seat bolt. (Ours mounts to a mounting tab.)

But only a fraction of these have been discovered so far and much of ocean life remains a mystery. IUCN experts are striving to unveil it and here you get the chance to see some of the weird and wonderful creatures that have recently been seen for the first time.
Mysteries of the Big Blue
August 2010. This month's ocean focus takes us on a journey of discovery. We take a look at how IUCN is helping to unlock the secrets of The Deep and find ways of combating the many threats that are placing our marine world under siege.
Future uncertain
Three months after the Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, leaking hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil into the ocean, Carl Gustaf Lundin, Head of IUCN's Global Marine Programme, gives his assessment of the impacts on the marine environment. He says there is much uncertainty about the long term effects on marine ecosystems which were already threatened by human activity before the spill occurred. …

The video says a lot and I won't deviate too much from what was posted, but I wanted to at least touch on the swell Irene will create. A storm this size will no doubt stir the seas and impact a lot of us. Early indications put the initial swell from this monster on our doorstep as early as Thursday night. Stronger waves may come, but initially you'll see a different sea come Thursday evening.
Remember, even though she may not hit land as a category 3 or 4, the energy still at sea can be felt on our coastline before the eye passes. It really doesn't take much of a storm for this to happen. In fact, remember back to tropical storm Emily. She was well out to sea and brought in a significant 5-6 foot swell to parts of Atlantic Beach. Granted, the tracks are much different, but the points remains, this swell will be big and coming in quickly. Actual wave height predictions as the eye passes can be found by pressing play on the video.
In terms of a possible storm surge, this important factor can't be predicted until we're 48 hours away, at the earliest, from a possible landfall (Thursday afternoon). Our topography in eastern North Carolina combined with the track uncertainly makes it very difficult to forecast a storm surge this far out. As soon as the data is in, we will have those numbers for you.
If you have questions please ask away. I'll edit this particular World of Weather with answers so check back for updates. In terms of winds & seas, hopefully this has helped to give an overall perspective on what a Hatteras track will do to the rest of Eastern Carolina. Should the track deviate even 20 miles those graphics/data will change dramatically. Please stay safe and tuned in.

http://mmajunkie.com Julie Kedzie (16-10 MMA, 0-1 SF) is a terrible interview.
She repeatedly apologizes because she won't engage in the kind of snappy pre-fight banter that's made one female fighter very famous in the past year.
She definitely feels the pressure, whether overt or covert, to produce a quotable swipe at her upcoming opponent, ex-champ Miesha Tate (12-3 MMA, 5-2 SF). She understands it could help bring her more attention. She understands it could feed her career.
It certainly did for that famous fighter, who singlehandedly reoriented the Strikeforce bantamweight division around her at about the time Kedzie was looking for work.
But like the person seated beside her during this interview, teammate and friend Sarah Kaufman, Kedzie isn't interested in that kind of attention. Like Kaufman, Kedzie sees fighting as a job and a process of "self-development" more than an entertainment business. She of course acknowledges that part of things, but chooses to opt out of it.
"If I'm boring, people don't have to interview me," Kedzie told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I don't care. I could promote the fight myself. I only have, like, maybe 5,000 followers on Twitter as opposed to [Tate's] 56,000. So if she's the one people are interested in, they can talk to her.
"I know this makes me sound horrible or boring or whatever, but it's possible to view mixed martial arts from both of those standpoints. Even though the sexy way to do it is to trash talk, that's just not how I do it, and I've been very successful in my career."
As she prepares for her first time back in the cage in more than a year, Kedzie is living with that choice. In every interview she's given about her fight with Tate, which serves on the preliminary-card of "Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman" at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego and airs on Showtime Extreme, she's been asked if Tate is distracted by her stated desire for a rematch with that famous person, Ronda Rousey.
The answer, of course, is no.
Kaufman, who attempts to win back the Strikeforce women's bantamweight belt from Rousey, is living with it, too. Rousey's presence has been inescapable for the teammates, to say nothing of women's MMA.
An easy way for Kedzie to counterbalance the shadow Rousey has cast would be for her to say Tate is distracted, or blast the overwhelming attention heaped on Rousey, or any number of things fighters have said to get themselves attention since the advent of pre-fight interviews.
But she said that even if she tried to do that, she would suck at it because it's an uncomfortable role, and she's not the type of person that can easily pretend.
"I'm doing my own thing," Kedzie said. "I'm staying true to myself as a fighter and a person, and that's my story."
Now eight years into her professional career, Kedzie has fought longer than most and in a way helped put women's MMA on the map when she fought Gina Carano on a major EliteXC card five years ago. She gets no credit for this, of course, and said that injuries plus a lack of opportunities has made the past year of her life a struggle.
But she's simply overjoyed to be back in the game and soon to fight.
Kedzie has no idea where a win over Tate will put her in the Strikeforce bantamweight division, and said she's been given no indication that the fight carries any implications for a title shot. She argues she might not deserve one, anyway, with a promotional record that would improve to an even 1-1 with a win over Tate.
When she does establish herself in the division, however, she said she'll speak out.
For Kedzie, that might not look a whole lot different than the time Kaufman spoke out after knocking an opponent senseless that, as champion, she was relegated to the preliminary card of a Strikeforce event. The next time she fought, it was on the co-main event.
But for now, Kedzie is quiet, at least about her career. About her life, she's the polar opposite. Talk to her about her cats, Genghis Cat and Princess Pounces, or her new dog, Bailey, and her effervescent personality comes out. Watch her doing commentary for Invicta FC, and her bubbly energy jumps through the screen. Make her laugh, and she sounds like a teenager without a care in the world.
This is an interview about fighting, though, and she's just bad at this stuff.
"For me, it's what I train to do," Kedzie said. "It's my job. It's my passion. It doesn't matter who's in front of me."

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (AP) -- Police say a man was shot and killed in a wooded area in Glen Burnie, and three suspects have been taken into custody.
The body was discovered shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday. Anne Arundel County police say officers responded to a report of a disturbance, and they found two suspicious vehicles when they arrived in the area of Tanyard Cove Road and Marley Neck Boulevard.
Police say a man was seen walking toward one of the vehicles from a wooded area. Officers found the victim in those woods, dead from a gunshot wound.
The man who walked toward the vehicle was taken into custody, as were a man and a woman who were in the other car.

"To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which
gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety,
ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries."

(in a review of A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel)
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
– Jorge Luis Borges
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul.

We read to know we're not alone.
– C.S. Lewis
When I get a little money I buy books;
and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!
How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book!
When I have a house of my own,
I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

The ability to read awoke inside me some
long dormant craving to be mentally alive.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,
and some few are to be chewed and digested.

To learn to read is to light a fire;
every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily,
often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul.

I'm using Firefox as our prefered browser, but it keep having problems printing large emails. From what I can find on the web it is a problem with Firefox, and I have confirmed that the same email prints in IE OK.
Dose anyone know of any workarounds to get Firefox to behave itself? Is it something that can be worked around from the Zimbra side, or is there some patch for Firefox?
Your help is much appreciated.

Ice - You know, a while back earlier this year when I was still trying to diagnose problems with the magneto, I actually broke my kick return spring right where the "L" that hooks into the shaft kicking the kicker too far trying to get it running. I didn't feel like waiting to order a new spring so I fixed what I had in about 45 minutes total. Pulled everything apart until I could access the spring and remove it. Then I trimmed off the bad section of the spring so it had a nice flat end again. Then I took 2 pairs of vice grips and grabbed the spring accordingly, took my 3 flame cigar torch and heated in between the pliers until the metal turned bright orange, bent a 90 back into the spring and threw the spring in some cold water to temper it. It's worked like a champ ever since and has never given me any trouble.Scottie

lone loss coming via decision to Stephan Bonnar in late 2010.
Maldonado recently saw an 11-fight win streak come to an end with a

I am looking for a new pair of boots for CO elk & deer season. I outfitted my son for his first hunt this year including a new rifle so I don't have allot of left over in the hunting funds.
Any suggestions for decent pair of boots under $150.

I've got a pair of Cabelas Outfitter boots I really love. Great boot at a great price.
I've used high tech boots for hunting and they worked well for a softer sole. I wear them for work now. They are very comfortable with minimal breakin. $80
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Not sure what size you are but I have these for sale. Size 10 $200.00.
REI sells Salewa if you want to check em out. I'm only selling them because I bought them a bit too tight. I ordered the exact same boots just 1/2 size larger. They sell for $348.00 on backcountry dot com.
Sent from headquarters.
Oh and they are crampon compatible just in case you decide to go after goats
Sent from headquarters.
The Danner 452 GTX Hiker fits your budget. Good fit, good traction, average ankle support, average to poor laces, soles will wear out in year of everyday wear. Don't get the 453's.
I went the economy route with hunting boots until one scouting trip out west. Now I wear Meindl Denali's and probably won't switch. 2yrs of everyday wear and the laces are just starting to die, ankle support is awesome, traction is great, price is on par for how long they last. YMMV

I absolutely love my Danner Pronghorns in 8" with 400gm of insulation. On sale they'll run you $161 on Amazon right now. http://www.amazon.com/Danner-Mens-Pr.../dp/B004CFBB70
That's only $11 over your budget. They are comfortable right out of the box and have a good tread with a stiff sole, which is what you want. They also have a tough material on the toe front and heel to keep from getting abrasion there. I rub in a lot of Ebenauer's in the leather uppers to get them as water-resistant as possible.
Don't try to save money on boots with a set of Rockys or some other cheaper brand. You will wish you had spent a little more because your footing, your traction, your ankles, avoiding blisters and your overall comfort rely a great deal on solid, quality boots.

I'll second that. For the price, my danner pronghorns have worked out fine. You will need to purchase the waterproofing gel after a lot of use(second to third season).
I've got a pair of size 13 Kennetrek Mountain Extreme's I'd make a good deal on.
Danner pronghorns are good. I also like my Under armor speed freak boots for bowhunting in warm weather. I recently purchased an upper end pair of boots that are great, but nothing wrong with the pronghorns. Danner has a website called hitthebreakroom.com that runs deals on danner and LaCrosse boots pretty often. Danners were going for 80 last week, but they may be sold out now. Worth a look anyway
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

Dump Bars
From the kitchen of Darlene Olson
2 cups sugar
1¼ cups flour
5 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla
½ cup cocoa
½ cup nuts
1 cup chocolate chips
Dump all ingredients into bowl, except chocolate chips. Mix well.
Place in greased 9X13" pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Have fun baking now that it is cooler! I baked sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies today.
Terri's notes:
~ Don't know if it's the eggs or perfect combination of oil and cocoa, but these are as good as they are fast and they are a fabulous base for a brownie hot fudge or caramel sundae!

As I noted in my updated post earlier today, the Miss Universe pageant has decided to let transgender contestant Jenna Talackova back into the competition. But that might not be enough for her. In a statement released earlier today by her attorney, Talackova said that she will not be satisfied until Donald Trump eliminates all anti-transgender discrimination from the pageant's rules. Until that happens, she and her attorney "will be considering all of Jenna's legal options." Good for her! But who is this plucky, blonde, trans rights warrior? I internet stalked her a little bit to find out.

5 Simple Ways to Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal
You don't have to own a money tree or take a month off work to spruce up your home and add some curb appeal. With a little imagination and creativity and a willingness to have fun, these DIY projects will give your home an inviting look and maybe even boost your property value.
- Give the front door a fresh look. With a fresh coat of paint, your home will make a statement to the passers-by on the street. Bright red or a bold hue of blue will give classic Colonial and Cape Cod homes, as well as other styles, a striking look. Likewise, a good cleaning and a fresh coat of varnish will give natural wooden doors an elegant look.
- Remodel your porch. Adding a new porch or remodeling the one you have is like giving your home a facelift. A small porch will accentuate the entry while a full-length porch or wrap-around porch will transform the look of your home and add outdoor living space.
- Enhance your walkways. Be adventurous and try something other than traditional gray concrete walkways. There are all kinds of interesting pavers and stepping stones available at home improvement stores and landscaping centers. Build a walkway with bricks or paving stones and add a touch of enchantment and charm to your home.
- Add a little life. Dress up your walkways, porch and entry with flowers and plants. Simple touches such as hanging flower baskets or ferns on the front porch, window boxes, potted plants on the steps, or a Japanese maple along the sidewalk can make the most ordinary home stand out in any neighborhood.
- Add accent lighting. There are a variety of lighting fixtures that will dramatize your home from dusk to dawn, including solar power lighting. Add carriage lamps by the garage, decorative lighting on the covered front porch or landscape lighting along the driveway and walkways. You'll give your home curb appeal from the dark street and increase safety.
By tackling just one or all of these curb appeal enhances, you'll make your home stand out in the neighborhood and deliver a welcoming look to all who enter.

As the evil minions of the undead Sithi Storm King prepare for the kingdom-shattering culmination of their dark sorceries and King Elias is drawn ever deeper into their nightmarish, spell-spun world, the loyal allies of Prince Josua desperately struggle to rally their forces at The Stone of Farewell. And with time running out, the remaining members of the now-devastated League of the Scroll have also gathered there to unravel mysteries from the forgotten past. For if the League can reclaim these age-old secrets of magic long-buried beneath the dusts of time, they may be able to reveal to Josua and his army the only means of striking down the unslayable foe.
But whether or not the League is successful in its quest, the call of battle will lead the valiant followers of Josua Lackhand across storm tossed seas brimming with bloodthirsty kilpa…through forests swarming with those both mind- and soul-lost… through ancient caverns built by legendary Dwarrows…to the haunted halls of Asu'a itself—the Sithi's greatest stronghold!
"Sprawling, spellbinding…weaves together a multitude of intricate strands, building to a suitably apocalyptic confrontation between good and evil."—Publishers Weekly
