|Lady Dragons take 6th in weekend softball tourney
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS softball has a lot to be proud of as they finished in sixth place in the Burlington tournament held Sept. 11-12.
They had a goal to clean up their defense, and for nearly every game, they played solid, according to coach Ashley Clayton. She added the girls continued to hit the ball as well as they did in their season opener against Eaton.
"As they gain more game experience, the mental errors will begin to eliminate themselves," added Clayton.
Ten teams competed in the two-day tourney, and finishing sixth was a huge step for the Lady Dragons. "The girls made so many improvements, and I believe they learned a lot about their abilities and talents as softball players this weekend," said coach Clayton.
She pointed out the tournament was a much-needed opportunity.
Finishing 2-2 in initial pool play, the Dragons defeated Akron (5-1) and Wray (12-2), while losing to Platte Canyon (1-9) and a one-pointer to Limon (4-5). Entering the tourney bracket to compete for fifth place, the local girls lost a big one to Rocky Ford (1-15).
While playing for fifth, the Dragons met a bump in a road, said coach Clayton. "The defense was unable to come up with crucial plays when they were needed, and the offensive side of the game for Holyoke was nearly silent."
While the tournament ended on a sour note, Clayton was quick to note the girls have a lot to be proud of.
Holyoke 5, Akron 1
Holyoke kicked off the Burlington tourney with a 5-1 win over Akron, playing a solid seven-inning game.
The Dragons jumped ahead of Akron early on in the game and played solid error-free defense to hold the Rams to just one run.
Coach Clayton noted the Holyoke players showed a lot of improvement from last week in both the batter's box and on defense.
Holyoke took a 2-0 lead after one inning and led 4-1 after two. The Dragons added one more in the third, with both teams going scoreless for the rest of the ball game.
Ashley Campbell took the win on the mound, delivering four strike-outs and just one walk.
Laura Gerk led the batting stats, hitting three for four with a double and two RBIs. Campbell was two for three with a double and an RBI; Marci Vasa, two for three with two doubles; Ashley Gragg, two for two with an RBI; Macey Pierce, one for three with an RBI; and Makenzie Ault, one for four.
Holyoke 12, Wray 2
Holyoke took the opportunity to run away with one when they defeated the Wray Eagles 12-2.
The Dragons were able to hit the ball hard into the gaps and move base runners with authority. Coach Clayton pointed out the girls continued to have clean defense, giving up just one error in the first inning.
HHS led 2-1 after one inning of action, then added three runs in the third and six in the fourth for a commanding 11-1 advantage. When both teams put one on the board in the fifth, the game ended by the 10-run rule with Holyoke taking the 12-2 victory.
Pierce pitched for the Dragons, delivering three strikeouts and walking just two batters.
Pierce also led the offense, hitting three for three with one double and an RBI. Vasa was three for four with an RBI; Karci Lockwood, two for three with a double and an RBI; Laura Gerk, one for three with two RBIs; Chandler Gerk, one for three with an RBI; and Brittany Durbin, one for four.
Holyoke 1, Platte Canyon 9
Campbell pitched against the Platte Canyon Huskies, who proved to be tough hitters. They scored nine runs off nine hits and one Holyoke error—serving HHS with its first loss of the Burlington tourney.
The Huskies jumped to a 4-0 first-inning lead, with no runs crossing the plate until the bottom of the sixth when Ault scored Holyoke's lone run off a single and an error by Platte Canyon.
However, the Huskies came out to score five runs in the top of the seventh to claim the 9-1 win.
"This was the third game of the day and proved to be the toughest game of the day for Holyoke," said coach Clayton.
Ault, Laura Gerk and Gragg were all one for three in batting, while Chandler Gerk was one for two.
Holyoke 4, Limon 5
Holyoke was matched evenly with Limon and showed a lot of fight in the one-point loss, praised coach Clayton.
Both teams scored a run in the first inning, then Limon went ahead 3-1 in the second.
It was an exciting sixth inning for the Dragons when the girls took a 4-3 lead. However, the Badgers answered with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to sit on top of the 5-4 score.
Holyoke had problems on defense for the first time in the tournament, giving up four errors.
Campbell pitched for HHS, delivering six strike-outs and only two walks.
Batting stats showed Pierce, three for four with an RBI; Campbell, one for one with an RBI; Vasa, one for three; Molly Fricke, one for two with two RBIs.
Holyoke 1, Rocky Ford 15
Campbell started on the mound for the Dragons against Rocky Ford, delivering one strike-out and giving up eight hits. Jordan Zeiler went in to pitch for the remaining of the game.
Coach Clayton said the Meloneers continued to deliver hit after hit against the HHS pitching staff. Zeiler gave up nine hits and no walks.
Rocky Ford tallied five, three, two and five runs in the first four innings, while Lockwood made Holyoke's only trip across home plate in the second. The Meloneers took the 15-1 win in five innings.
Upcoming action
Holyoke played two JV games against Yuma Monday, Sept. 14 and hosted Akron in their homecoming game Tuesday, Sept. 15. All will be reported in next week's Enterprise.
Holyoke will travel to Brush next Thursday, Sept. 24 for a 4 p.m. ball game.

A.The XP series exchanges a vast amount of data when changing to a new Patch, this may cause the sound to be cutoff for a moment.
The MFX (Multi Effect) processor may have something to do with it as well. You can get various types of sound effects using MFX processor, each of which can be saved with a Patch. When you change the Patches, the MFX also changes accordingly.
The XV series may mute the sound purposely during Patch selection in order to prevent any unexpected sound from the previous MFX setting that is so much different from the new one.

Air cargo plays vital role in U.S. export agenda
October 08, 2012 - LM Editorial
The U.S Secretary of Transportation told delegates at the 26th International Air Cargo Forum & Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia last week that a healthy air cargo industry is essential in helping the U.S. government achieve its goal of doubling U.S exports by 2015.
According to Ray LaHood, DOT is doing its part to build a transportation system that supports President Obama's export goal. This includes the recent creation of a new Freight Policy Council, a high level and multi-modal internal body that will help to develop a national plan to improve freight movement. In addition, he said the new "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century" transportation bill signed into law this summer by President Obama gives DOT $1.75 billion for its TIFIA loan program that can be put to work to improve the nation's intermodal freight network.
As reported here, President Obama set out a five-year goal to double U.S. exports by 2015. That was two years ago.
Presently, air cargo now accounts for 31 percent of the total value of U.S. exports
LaHood added that the DOT is working hard to secure "additional market openings for U.S. cargo companies around the world, but there is considerable work left to be done:
"We know that some foreign governments are still practicing protectionism…to the detriment of many."

Since Shell Chemical announced in July 2011 that it planned to build an ethane cracker in the northeast, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia officials all did their best to woo the company to build the multi-billion dollar facility in their state.
On March 15, 2012, Shell announced Pennsylvania had won the "cracker sweepstakes," naming a site near Monaca, Beaver County as the possible future location for the chemical plant.
That's not to say the deal is final. Shell only agreed to consider the Beaver County site, and has not signed any final commitment yet. Pennsylvania wooed Shell by granting the company a fifteen-year tax amnesty window. In June, Governor Corbett successfully pushed for an additional tax break that will grant Shell a $2.10 credit for every gallon of ethane it purchases from Pennsylvania-based natural gas drillers. Over a 25-year window, the credit has been valued at $1.65 billion, making it the largest tax break in state history.
What's an ethane cracker? As a January NPR report explained:
"Cracker" is industry lingo for a plant that takes oil and gas and breaks them up into smaller molecules. An ethane cracker creates ethylene, a compound used in the manufacture of plastic. There's much more ethane in Appalachia these days thanks to controversial drilling techniques known colloquially as "fracking."
Governor Corbett is convinced the petrochemical plant will kick-start a corridor of plastics processing plants in Beaver County, and predicts up to 20,000 new jobs could be generated by the plant. But that figure comes from a chemical industry-funded study, and the majority of those anticipated jobs are "indirect or induced." The cracker itself would only employ between 400 and 600 people.
The direct jobs are pretty easy to describe: They're the people who would be employed at the cracker and other plastics manufacturing facilities, according to Smith. The indirect jobs are the "people who supply the valves and motors" and other materials needed during manufacturing, he explained.
[The American Chemistry Council's] model predicts a cracker would create 2,396 "direct" jobs, even though just 400 to 600 people would be employed at the Shell plant itself. The study anticipates 8,194 indirect new jobs. The remaining 6,951 jobs would come from the "ripple effect" of increased economic activity driven by the people who move into the Beaver County area.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (WUSA) - When Corey Graham signed with the Baltimore Ravens before this season after spending time with the Chicago Bears, few expected for him to have this much impact as a Cornerback.
Graham, though, who was primarily regarded as a special teams player, has been solid all year and has stepped up of late. Graham's two interceptions against the Broncos were huge.
"Corey's just a great football player," Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. "He's got very good ball skills...he's got good feet."
Heading into Sunday's AFC Championship Game vs. New England, Graham seems confident and comfortable with the stage.
"I like to think I can do a little bit of everything," Graham said. "I'm a pretty savvy corner I would say."
"When I signed here I wanted to go somewhere where I could get a chance to play," He continued. "All you can ask for is an opportunity."

For your hump day viewing pleasure, here's the late New Orleans R&B legend Eddie Bo at Le Divan du Monde ('The Divan of the World') in Paris, October 2007, doing "Mustang Sally", a song made famous by Wilson Pickett in the mid-1960s.
The Lower 9th Ward Village has been a hub of volunteer activity and neighborhood building since federal levee failures in the wake of Hurricane Katrina devastated its home neighborhood in 2005. Now a series of unfortunate circumstances has put the future of this vital neighborhood resource in jeapordy. This Friday the Lower 9th Ward Village will be holding a benefit concert featurin
In his 1998 obituary, OffBeat noted that Johnny Adams was "regarded by fans, critics and musicians throughout the world as one of the finest singers associated with New Orleans R&B and jazz".
Founding member of Galactic (and Garage A Trois, Dragon Smoke, and his eponymous Trio, etc), Met'ry's own Stanton Moore is also a teacher who "travels around the world teaching New Orleans drumming, writes a regular column for drumming magazines, and releases instructional books and videos".

Really enjoyed this beautifully produced new video by filmmaker James DeMaria, the title track of Tricia Boutté and Paul Longstreth's Oh New Orleans, Here I Come! According to DeMaria, the song is about Tricia's yearly pilgrimage home from Norway for FQF, Jazz Fest, and to see her family.
Here's a little trad jazz gem: a set of songs by the Original Tuxedo Jazzband, recorded in 1964 in Baden Baden, Germany. That's bandleader Albert "Papa" French on banjo; clarinetist Joseph "Cornbread" Thomas also handles vocals.
The legendary bluesman John Smith Hurt, AKA Mississippi John Hurt (~1892-1966), left sharecropping for a brief recording career with Okeh Records in 1928, cutting 78s like "Frankie" and "Avalon Blues". The records didn't sell, and Hurt eventually returned to farming. Decades later, he was rediscovered and recorded again in the mid-1960s.

Hello, I would assistance in turning a rough drawing of a continent I created into a realistic(ish) map. Can someone please provide some assistance?
Project Scope/Concept:
The main continent of the planet Pallos; a fantasy world I created for a novel I'm writing, and tabletop RPG based on it.
I would like to start with a better drawing of the map sketch I provide, preferably for use with something like Maptool, where we (I and cartographer(s) willing to assist) can create an overview of the continent, and then zoom in on individual regions to add city location markers, forested areas, rivers, etc, and perhaps eventually zoom in on individual capitol cities and provide maps. The cartographer(s) are welcome to add anything creative they want, so long as the general shape of the continent and relative location of kingdoms remains as close as possible.
Size and Colour: to be negotiated
Copyright: to be discussed. I definitely would expect the cartographer to have a least partial copyrights. As the planet is one I created, I would like to keep those besides myself and cartographer(s) from being able to make money on our project. The cartographer(s) would be welcome to display their work, of course, and credit will be given where credit is due.
Deadline: Flexible/Negotiable. No real rush on a finished project, but perhaps a basic outline within couple months?
Payment: I am poor but we can definitely negotiate something. I do plan to try publishing at least the novel(s), and therefore could possibly make money on this project, so a % commission is definitely on the table, as well as copy(ies) of the finished works. We can discuss any mandatory fee together?

By Sue Gilbert, MS Nutritionist
All the charts on the walls, all the pyramids on the refrigerator won't turn your kids healthy eaters like getting their hands and imaginations into will. Get kids involved with food, make food connect to everyday experiences, and help them to see food as a part of culture, history, art or science.
Ideas for Little Children
The younger crowd has not yet been bombarded with nutrition facts and figures, or an overload of "eat it, it's good for you". They are still receptive and open to experiencing food. If you can set aside a small space in the kitchen and a small bit of your tolerance and patience (they are going to make a mess and waste some food) then they will begin to learn about food inside and out, while you sneak in a few comments about nutrition.
A Place of their Own
In a lower cupboard set aside at least the lower shelf for use by your baby and toddler. Supply it with the kitchen tools they need. Yogurt containers with lids, an old oatmeal box, plastic bowls, plastic measuring spoons, wooden spoons, rubber spatulas, plastic cookie cutters, rolling pin, plastic measuring cups and plastic pour spout containers, are all good material to start with. Only their imagination and yours limit how they will be used.
Salt Dough Sculptures
If you haven't already discovered salt dough, you will be more than happy with this new discovery. Together you and your children can mix up the dough, then you can set them to work molding, sculpting, rolling and cutting, pounding and squishing.
Directions: Mix flour and salt, add water until mixture holds together like dough, knead. This dough will keep in the refrigerator for a few days if stored in plastic.
Once the final shape has been decided, bake it in a warm oven (200 to 250) until dry. Thicker pieces will take longer and may be better air-dried. Once dried kids can paint the dough. Some great ideas are hand impression plaques, cookie cutter ornaments, animal sculptures, beads, and free form shapes.
Fruit or Vegetable People
Use raw, edible fruits and vegetables. Use toothpicks (under supervision with young ones) or peanut butter to put the pieces together. Some people you can make:
Fill a couple of zip lock sandwich bags with dried beans, offer a target and allow a little beanbag tossing. Better yet, sew your own beanbag with a fabric that your child picks out!
Pretzel Animals
In a big bowl mix together 1 package yeast, 1.5 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Stir in 4 cups of white flour and 2 cups of whole-wheat flour. Knead on a counter dusted with flour until the dough is smooth. Shape into animal shapes, brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with a little salt. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
Muffin Mixes
You can find some wholesome ones that require only an egg and milk to be added - an easy project with quick results.
Ideas for Older Children
Older children enjoy a little bit more responsibility and sophistication in their kitchen projects. Tired of hearing about which foods are good for them and which foods are not. Other aspects of food may help keep them interested while deepening their knowledge of food.
The Cultural Approach
For example, rent the movie Ghandi and order take out food from the local Indian restaurant. Kids may be more apt to try this new cuisine while watching the movie than under normal circumstances. This also makes a meal more special and allows kids to make a better connection between cultural food and people. This same idea can be applied to any age group. Making use of some classic old movies, try these ideas (or make the connections yourself with movies your children enjoy) How about Mary Poppins and a tea party with scones and tea ? The Sound of Music and some cheese fondue would be wonderful fun. Here is a fondue recipe that contains no wine (like the traditional recipe) and is easy enough for most kids to make, or help make.
Directions: Heat the milk in the top of a double boiler until simmering. Mix the flour and the grated cheese (it helps keep the cheese dispersed while melting instead of ending up in a big blob to sink to the bottom of the milk). Drop the cheese by handfuls into the hot milk and stir until the cheese is all melted and bubbly. Place the double boiler (or put into a fondue pot) and put in the middle of the table with the basket of bread cubes. Using fondue forks or regular forks, spear the bread and dip into the cheese.
The Economic Approach
This is a bigger project and will take lots of involvement on your part. Give your child a certain sum of money and allow them to plan, shop, and prepare a meal. Some preparation for this is to make sure you have some kid friendly recipes around the house. This can be a good experience learning about the price of food, why some people may end up going hungry, and how difficult it can be to make a budget work.
Back to Nature Approach
The best way to help children appreciate good food is to have them grow it themselves. Even the smallest of garden plots or patio planters will provide a big lesson in how food is grown and harvested. And nothing inspires vegetable eating like growing and picking it yourself.

May 31, 2016
Vicksburg Mayor Paul Winfield has been arrested on federal bribery charges based on allegations he sought a $10,000 payment for a city contract.
The 39-year-old Democrat was being held Thursday in the Madison County Detention Center in Canton. He was scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate judge in Jackson later in the day.
The criminal complaint in the case says a confidential source called Winfield on July 17, 2012, to discuss "pre-event disaster contracts" with the city.
The two allegedly met at a Jackson restaurant the next day and the source asked Winfield what it would take to get the contract.
The complaint says Winfield responded, by saying 10 and holding up 10 fingers to signify $10,000.

Hello everyone,
hope everyone drew some good tags this year. Didn't get any in my state but did get lucky and drew Archery Elk unit 23 in New Mexico. This is my first time hunting there and haven't had time to scout the area yet. If anyone has some information on where to go in this unit it would be greatly appreciated. Anything to help me stay off private land and hopefully get into some Elk. I picked this unit from reading and doing a little research right here on this forum. If anyone has drawn unit 1, or unit 4a archery Elk in Az. I can help you get started. It helps a bunch when you don't have to start with a whole unit. Thanks in advance for any information you want to share.

HOUSTON (AP) - Bud Norris pitched into the eighth inning for his first win since May 21, and Jose Altuve homered and the Houston Astros avoided a sweep with a 2-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, who are vying for the second NL wild card, on Wednesday night.
Norris (6-13) allowed two hits and struck out seven without a walk in 7 1-3 innings to snap a career-long 12-game losing streak which spanned 18 starts in the last National League game in Houston with the Astros moving to the American League West for 2013.
The victory broke a 10-game winning streak for the Cardinals over Houston and cut their lead over Los Angeles and Milwaukee to 3 1/2 games for the second NL wild card spot after both teams won Wednesday.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- Defense Attorneys for the three West Springfield High School boys charged with child pornography are blasting the charges.
The attorney who represents the youngest of the boys says what they did was not criminal, just stupid.
"I don't think the girls are victims any more than the boys are victims. They should've avoided this conduct," said Defense Attorney Lefffler, who is representing a boy who was 14 at the time of the alleged crimes.
Leffler has seen the 10 videos and says some are as short as 10 seconds and as long as 3 minutes. They involve sexual combinations of the three boys and six girls who are all high school students at either West Springfield or Robinson and Lake Braddock Secondary Schools. Leffler says the videos were all taken on one boy's cell phones over the course of the past year.
"They are made to the extent that one boy is running into a room where a couple is engaged in consensual sex and turning on his cell phone. That's the extent of the production," said Leffler.
Leffler talked to WUSA9 to clear up something that he said has been misreported by other news outlets, "None of the films that we have seen show any girl, apparently anyway, under the influence of drugs or passed out."
Leffler says in each of the videos, the girls appear to know they're being recorded.
"In at least two of the videos, the girls are speaking directly to the cell phone camera. One is sitting cross-legged on a bed, she's nude from the waist up and she's singing a song into the camera. The other one is facing the camera, talking to the camera while she's engaged in fondling with a boy."
Leffler says the boys only shared videos with each other.
Mark Petrovich and Gretchen Taylor, separate counsel for the other two charged boys, the 16 years old, released this statement:
On behalf of our clients, who are also victims in this case, especially since the media repeatedly and irresponsibly published false information, we would like to provide the following information. The police investigation in this case was launched based on information provided by a third party juvenile who admitted to providing completely fabricated information based on a personal agenda. That juvenile has provided to the police a statement establishing that fact.
There were no images or videos uploaded to the internet. There is no "ring" of "child exploitation," or exploitation of any kind. There were never any nonconsensual sexual acts undertaken by anyone.
The allegation of child pornography remains disputed, and our clients have pleaded not guilty. It is disappointing that nameless, faceless, anonymous and uninformed
bloggers converted false and unsubstantiated rumors into a mainstream story that was initially irresponsibly promulgated by the media.
"I can see why the girls would want to say they didn't know they were being filmed. But the evidence so far is that they did," said Leffler who is trying to get the charges thrown out.
WUSA9 asked Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh whether the girls could also be charged with child pornography if they knew that they were being recorded. He said he could NOT comment on the details of the case but stood by the charges and said the victims, the girls in this case, will not be charged.
WUSA9 spoke with Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh on Wednesday and asked him whether the girls could also be charged with child porn if they knew that they were being recorded.
He said he could not comment on the details of the case but stood by the charges and said the victims, the girls in this case, will not be charged.

Benwood Man Dies From Injuries
Police are reviewing Fulton incident in which he hit his head
May 11, 2013
WHEELING — Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith and police Detective Greg Harris on Friday reviewed the investigation into the death of a man who was punched and fell from a porch in Fulton, striking......
White trash night in Buckwildsville.

wrath-I dont disagree, but this is murder. The man that struck him needs to be charged with murder.
People around here think it is normal to resolve a dispute with violence, and you dont have to be trash to fall victim of this. The prosecutor needs to send a message that when you use violence, you are responsible for the consequence, and it may not be a simple assault charge. This is a no brainer. What are they waiting for. Remember kindergarten-keep your hands to yourself? PROSECUTE. If this guy were one of the prosecutor', magistrate's, cops, etc relative-would have been done. Head injuries leave people damaged for life when they dont die. WV has high rate of head injuries, leads to unemployment and welfare, or sometimes death.

Bloomin: According to the article this was at least the second fight of the night for Demello. Perhaps it is self defense? I think I will wait for the complete investigation before jumping to conclusions. Demello sounds like the aggressor based on this article. He was the victim of his own stupidity and rage perhaps? I suspect he was drunk and looking for trouble. Unfortunately he got more trouble than he bargained for. Kinda reminds me of the Hocutt incident.

Yeah, I would prefer to wait for more info as well. If the man was struck and left without aid, it can perhaps be manslaughter. It could also be manslaughter if it occurred as the result of a fight. It is not murder unless the attack was planned out with the purpose or intent. Striking someone during a fight does not normally have the expectation of death or serious injury. Hitting someone with a brick, car, or using a knife, gun,or other lethal instrument is different.

Perhaps you are right that he was the aggressor. Correct to not jump the gun. However, the damage from fist fights is much greater than many think. Traumatic brain injury leads to mental health issues, then public assistance which none of us want. We often think of sports injuries or accidents, but many are from domestic incidents and unarmed fighting. Death is not the usual, but death is not the usual for drinking and driving either, but if you are one of the unlucky ones, statistics dont really matter.

Castle defense comes to mind. It is a tragic that this incident played out the way it did, but this appears to be a freak accident.
Let's not forget the incident that occured down at Nail City not so long ago where a single punch also resulted in death. In that case, there was no guilt determined for murder, since the victim was also the aggressor.

I re-read the article. It does not state that this guy was the aggressor. It states that there was a fist fight with a different man earlier in the evening, and this guy was bleeding, and did not want to press charges. So he fought with 2 different individuals on this evening before he died, and according to police, was intoxicated. Do the police ever write in their report that a person is intoxicated when they are not? Every intoxicated person is not the aggressor. Women who are battered often develop addictions and abuse alcohol-it does not mean they start fights (sometimes they do).
Both of these others guys took off before police came-that could be significant. Just like that biker that attacked the security officer at the mall-we take it lightly, but if that security officer died as a result, it does not matter how rude she was or what she did.
If there is information that this guy started the fights, its not in this article.

Comments about ... Solid Punch Balloon (each):
I found this to be very difficult to blow up. Each child and adult tried, so we ended up punching under-inflated punch balls. Since it was so small it was also difficult to keep the end closed so the air would not come out. I really wanted to have fun with these as they would be nostalgic toys for adults too. (maybe the larger ones would be better)

|Post office to increase prices
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
With the U.S. Postal Service exploring every possible way to bring in new revenue to make a dent in the massive amount of debt they are facing, there will be several price hikes for the services they offer starting Sunday, Jan. 27.
Included in the increased fees will be the price to mail a letter will rise from 45 to 46 cents and a postcard will be raised by one cent to 33 cents. A new global "forever" stamp will be introduced that will allow customers to mail first-class letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10 and priority mail will cost on average four percent more.
Priority mail small box will cost $5.80, a medium box will cost $12.35 and a large box will increase to $16.85. Priority mail regular envelopes will now cost $5.60, legal envelopes will be $5.75 and a padded envelope will be $5.95.
In the past seven years, the price of the stamp has been increased five times.
The rate increases may not end there. The post office has asked Congress for the authority to raise stamp prices by five cents. Other measures the post office is exploring is the possibility of delivering mail five days a week as opposed to six.
The post office lost $5.1 billion in 2011 and has lost roughly $15 billion in 2012. In October the post office defaulted on two payments to the Treasury for $11.1 billion for future retiree health benefits due to lack of funds.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has stated that there is little left to do to bring in sufficient funds. With such a grim outlook, Donahoe has stated that it is up to the lawmakers in Washington to pass a postal fix.

Victorian Silver, Victorian turquoise Jewelry and Victorian Silver Jewelry – We invite you to visit our new educational presentation on Victorian Silver Turquoise JewelryWe have a rich background in Victorian Silver as our Trading Company originally dealt in Western American Antiques such as Antique Firearms, Wild West Show memorabilia, vintage Cowboy and Antique American Indian artifacts. As we began our careers as jewelers making gold and silver jewelry, we have always been attracted to Victorian Silver which we found to be incorporated in most all of the Antiques we dealt in.
I, John Hartman, have created several lines of Jewelry with the Victorian Silver theme such as old Cowboy Jewelry, Vintage Horse Regalia and I even worked with the Fred Harvey Company to re-create a line of Victorian Silver Jewelry that resembled the Vintage Navajo Jewelry that was made in the victorian period. Victorian Silver runs deep in my veins and today I have begun creating a new type of Victorian Silver with a Southwestern accent. I consider my new type of Jewelry as Victorian Silver Jewelry.

Lawsuits challenge coastal land-use plan
Amendment crafted by city unlikely to deter plaintiffs
SOLANA BEACH Three recent lawsuits challenging Solana Beach's newly adopted coastal land-use plan appear likely to move forward, regardless of what happens with an amendment that city officials have crafted to try to soften concerns that the plan will trample on private property rights.
The amendment is an effort to strike a compromise between blufftop homeowners and environmentalists over new rules that could limit sea walls and development along the city's nearly two miles of coastline.
The City Council is expected to vote on the amendment May 22, City Manager David Ott said.
But there's little hope the proposal will bridge the gap between frustrated property owners and supporters of the plan who say it will help protect public access to the beach and restore a more natural coastline.
A homeowners group calling itself the Beach & Bluff Conservancy sued the city April 26 challenging the coastal plan and seeking to invalidate the new regulations about sea walls and blufftop development. The same group sued the Coastal Commission last year over its role in shaping the plan.
Similar lawsuits were filed against Solana Beach last month by resident Joseph Steinberg and several condominium associations.
The proposed amendment would address a few rules that homeowners are unhappy with, but it completely ignores some of the biggest sticking points, said Jonathan Corn, a lawyer representing the conservancy and the condo associations.
Those points include a 20-year shelf life on sea wall permits, meaning when the permit expires, applicants would have to seek another — and meet several requirements to get it approved.
That uncertainty is stressful for homeowners and could adversely affect property values, said conservancy leader Chris Hamilton, who paid to build a sea wall behind his house about five years ago and helped organize the most recent lawsuit.
City officials won't comment on the suits, Ott said.
The plan
The city has worked for 13 years trying to get the land-use plan approved, submitting several different versions to the Coastal Commission. Some earlier versions were rejected outright; others the city withdrew to make suggested revisions.
The commission approved a plan last year, but added 153 modifications, including restrictions on sea walls and private stairways to the beach.
Those revisions remain a point of contention. Officials with the Coastal Commission say they were simply recommendations that the city could decide to use or not.
However, since it's ultimately up to the commission to approve the plans, some have argued that the suggestions amount to forcing changes and taking control from local jurisdictions.
In February, the City Council approved the plan that included the commission's changes.
"The original (plan) that the city embraced and submitted to the Coastal Commission has basically been withering away against an onslaught of Coastal Commission changes over the past six or seven years," Corn said.
Protecting property
The amendment makes small changes in the plan's treatment of sea walls, but the underlying conflict remains.
The concrete barriers can cost homeowners hundreds of thousands of dollars and are designed to minimize erosion that threatens houses, streets or other assets. However, they also can have adverse affects on surrounding beaches, since erosion is what helps replenish sand along the shore.
"After a decade or so of the sea wall being in place, the beach disappears," said Diana Lilly, a coastal planner with the Coastal Commission's San Diego office.
Although the Coastal Commission strongly discourages sea walls, it understands that they are needed in areas such as Solana Beach, where bluffs can erode abnormally quickly, Lilly said.
"We're trying to keep the bluffs as natural as possible while trying to recognize that there is a need for property protection," she said. "What we really don't want to see is 80-foot-high sea walls all up and down Solana Beach."

I have a custom application that stores data in a MySQL database. I would really like to send a subset of the data to a Zimbra IMAP mailbox that my team can read. The data can be formatted with a title and content, just like a mail message. I want the mailbox to be read only, and the contents will change on a daily basis.
The custom application is written in Java, and I would prefer to use that language if another program is necessary to achieve this task. Are there plugins, connectors, zimlets, or APIs available that will allow me to either send the custom data I want to Zimbra, or have Zimbra query my database using a search algorithm and formatter to populate the mailbox?
Or... is this as simple as having my custom application send Zimbra an email for every item I want in this company-wide read only mailbox? If so, then how do I tell Zimbra when certain messages should be deleted?
Finally, I was not able to find much information on setting up shared IMAP mailboxes in Zimbra in the first place. Can anyone point me to the right documentation?
Thank You.

Digital Disruption is on everyone's mind. Netflix is replacing people's cable subscriptions. Simple apps like OpenTable and LoseIt! are displacing businesses like Zagat's and Weight Watchers. But if you want to understand why, you need to look back at the 80's and 90's and imagine you are an American manufacturer.
American manufacturers were successful at making quality products at a good profit, and paying good wages to their workers. But we all know now what happened next. The Chinese swept in and took over, leaving much the American industry unable to compete.
The Chinese manufacturers had two things going for them.
First, they had cheap labor. China was full of workers highly motivated to work for far lower wages than Americans. But while this factor got all the attention, it was not sufficient in itself.
Chinese manufacturers also needed access to distribution. They needed infrastructure -- container ships, supply chains and supply chain software, distribution partners, favorable regulations. Note that the Chinese didn't need to invent any of these things. They just exploited the capabilities that had become available.
So their formula was: cheap workers + infrastructure = disruption. The high labor costs and rigid structures of American companies couldn't adjust, and most of them were toast.
Let's fast foward to today. Imagine an innovator attempting to compete with your business. Let's call her Sarah. Sarah is bright and motivated and has identified a customer need that you're unable to satisfy as well.
This innovator has access to lots and lots of free or cheap tools. She can download an Apple SDK for next to nothing and post her app on the app store. Sarah can join 1.3 million sellers on eBay or become a merchant on Amazon. She can buy a URL for ten bucks on godaddy.com, leverage Facebook for marketing, and shift her search ads on Google to take advantage of the trends of the day. Sarah risks very little, except for her time.
Sarah is likely to fail. But Sarah is not your problem. Lots and lots of Sarahs are your problem.They're not all going fail -- some of them are going to succeed, and they will disrupt your business.
Compared to before, there are at least ten times as many innovators gunning for your business. The costs of entry are less than one-tenth what they were. So you have to expect to be competing with 100 times the innovation power.
It's just like Chinese manufacturing. These innovators are willing to work for cheap or free. And the infrastructure of the Internet and mobile devices gives them an instant portal to compete your business. Cheap digital labor plus digital infrastructure equals disruption. Lots of it.
This is the same dynamic Clayton Christensen highlighted in his book The Innovator's Dilemma -- but it requires so little capital that it happens much, much faster.
Barriers to entry are now obsolete. Deal with it.
If you want to know more about this, have a look at James McQuivey's book Digital Disruption, published today. It analyzes this trend, how fast its getting here, and what you can do about. Spoiler alert -- you're going to have to be a digital disruptor yourself to compete with Sarah and her thousands of friends. James' book is a manual on how to do that.

Digital disruption is terrifying. But we'll help you deal with it.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Let's play the hypothetical game -- hey, it's the Redskins and Nationals offseason, can you blame me?
But seriously, let's play.
Say for some ungodly reason, Capitals and Wizards owner Ted Leonsis is kidnapped against his will. Tied up. Apple in the mouth. The whole nine-yards.
But the robber isn't interested in money. The robber needs only one decision from Leonsis: If the owner had to remove either Alex Ovechkin or John Wall from their respective rosters, who would he choose?
For some hardcore D.C. sports fans, this would be an agonizing decision. For me? Not so much.
My choice without hesitation is John Wall, and here are the reasons why.
1) Alex Ovechkin's MVP seasons are distant memories
Someone please tell me the difference between Alex Ovechkin and Gilbert Arenas' careers. I'll wait.
Both came blazing into the league, looking like unstoppable scoring forces. Both were put on a pedestal by the city as the next best athletic thing. Both were surrounded by personnel mistakes which hindered their growth. Both tried to become superheroes, and continually came up short.
I can admit the Russian prodigy on ice's career has been more illustrious than Arenas', but for what exactly? The hardware Ovechkin collected early in his career was the driving force behind building the Capitals rabid fan base. And that's really all he has to show for it now in his eighth season in Washington.
Obviously Ovechkin isn't going to end up playing in China three seasons from now like Arenas, but I hope you get my comparison. If I told you in 2006 the tailspin the Wizards would take over the next several seasons you would've called WUSA-9 and had me tested for bath salts. Same thing goes if I would've told you about the Capitals downward spiral since 2009.
I realize the Capitals have still been able to qualify for the playoffs -- but barely. I also realize one player shouldn't make or break a hockey season. But if you ask a majority of the fan base if they are happy with the direction the team is headed, most will tell you no. Fingers have to be pointed somewhere, and Ovechkin is the biggest target.
2) Alex Ovechkin has reached his ceiling as a player
Ovi's goal totals from 2005-2012 in order: 52, 46, 55, 56, 50, 32, 38.
Blame his decreased production on how he's changed "systems" three times. Blame it on the missteps general manager George McPhee has made. Blame it on Ovechkin not being to evolve his basic offensive game. Blame it on his distracting girlfriend.
It doesn't matter what you blame it on, because his production has dropped from perennial MVP candidate to a guy who sometimes is watching from the bench late in third periods. If he posts a third straight underwhelming season, even his staunchest supporters will have to reevaluate their stance on the almighty 'Great 8'.
As soon as the Capitals front office brass and fan base accepts this reality, the franchise can move in the right direction. To me, Ovechkin can no longer be the best player on a championship team -- and a title seemed within reach just three seasons ago. If he's the clear second or third option on the roster, the organization will be heading in the right direction.
3) John Wall has been in the worst situation possible
While Ovechkin has had his fair share of career defining moments, John Wall has not, at least until this season, when he literally picked up the Wizards from their death bed. The team is 6-5 since return. Wall's prescence alone has turned chicken sh*t into halfway decent chicken salad.
Blaming Wall for the underwhelming start to his career is fair to some degree. But you must take into account he's been sifting through garbage on his Wizards roster from the moment David Stern called his name in 2010. All three of Ernie Grunfeld's 2011 selections (Chris Singleton, Jan Vesely and Shelvin Mack) have amounted to nothing.
Possibly most importantly, Wall knows what it's like to be at rock bottom. He knows what it's like to be a on team that's the laughing stock of the league. He may be a young professional, but the point guard's seen his fair share of criticism and hasn't wilted.
4) Wall has shown signs of growth as a player
When he was first drafted, pundits pegged John Wall to become a Derrick Rose-type of scorer. I think even Wall himself exptected to be a 20-points per game kind of guy.
Wall was plagued by immaturity during the 2011 lockout, when he chose to play in dozens of summer league games as opposed to refining his skills as a point guard.
But through the trials and tribulations of his first few seasons, Wall has finally figured out he's a pass-first point guard. He's learned how to control his supreme athleticism but not holding down the turbo button on every possession. His already highly-praised defense has an impact on the entire team's effort. Although he's yet to develop a jump shot, something that took years for both Jason Kidd and Gary Payton to add to their repertoires.
The Wizards for obvious reasons have lower expectations than the Caps. Will Wall win MVP awards like Ovechkin? No. Will help build a Wizards fan base as large as the Capitals? Probably not. But do his talents, upside and younger age give the Wizards hope that they can become a mainstay NBA playoff team in three seasons? Yes. And that type of foreseeable improvement, to me, is way more valuable at this point than the Caps continuing to come up on the short end of the stick.
A glimpse of the future in which a 24-year-old Bradley Beal and a 26-year-old John Wall are hugging after a first round playoff win seems so much more realistic than a 32-year-old Ovechkin playing in a Stanley Cup final.

It was ok but some of the ingredients didnt seem to go good and we probably wont make it again. It was however very easy to make just didnt appeal to our taste buds.

When I was asked to chair Ever Higher: The Campaign for Westminster College, I took it as both an honor and a singular opportunity.
During my time as a student at Westminster, I found knowledgeable and caring men and women who challenged me, motivated me, and pointed me toward success. Since then, I have seen the value of my education confirmed many times over. With each passing year, my gratitude for my Westminster experience has continued to grow — as has my desire to give back as fully as I received.
By participating in this campaign, we can all express our appreciation for the benefits the College has brought — and continues to bring — to each of us. Your gift will make a lasting difference in the lives of bright, hard-working students and in the future of this extraordinary institution. Join me in helping Westminster achieve its full potential.
—Robert F. Patton '50
Westminster College Trustee Emeritus

I couldn't agree more. You can keep the metro card, and just provide seats for my kids in the school distrist.
In addidtion to the sacrifies we make to send our kids to private schools, the district is placing further sacrifices on us. Why are we the first to do so, does anyone acknowledge the sacrifices we are making.

EverRoast® Chicken Pot Pie
Pot pie recipes are often assembled in 5 minutes by opening cans and pre-packaged freezer bags. Our Boar's Head pot pie recipe is made from scratch with the beans of summer porches, the herbs of farmhouse gardens, and the distinctly homemade inspiration of our EverRoast Chicken Breast.
- Preheat the oven to 475° F.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of the chicken stock to a gentle boil. Add carrots and thyme sprigs; boil 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid; discard thyme.
- Using the same saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the beans, just under a minute; drain, rinse, and add to the carrots.
- Pierce the onions at the bottom with the tip of a knife and boil in the pan with fresh water for 10 minutes or until tender. Rinse under cold water, peel and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the flour, and whisk over medium heat, Whisk in the heavy cream. Add the reserved carrot liquid and the remaining stock. Whisk until thickened (3 to 4 minutes). Add the chopped thyme, parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper; cover, and set aside.
- Lightly flour a 1½ quart round casserole dish. Line with the beans, carrots, onion, and chicken; pour in the sauce.
- Brush puff pastry sheet with the egg-water mixture. Place the pastry sheet overtop, draping it down the sides and pressing around the outside to seal, or use the excess to crimp the crust, but be sure it seals the dish. Trim any excess pastry to create a clean edge. (Place the pie in the freezer 20 minutes to keep the pie from running.)
- Bake the pie 15 minutes or more until the pastry is puffed and browned. Serve hot.

Pros: there was nothing good about this flight!
Cons: The crew was miserable and unpleasant. The seats were lumpy and uncomfortable. The entertainment system was old and difficult to work without pounding it and annoying the person in front of you. The crew just threw the food at you as if you were in a prison. The food was awful....widh I never had to fly another usair flight to europe again!

Good Day!
While I do not come from where "here there be dragons", I must have come from somewhere very distant, as I have been an avid maker of maps for many years yet have never discovered this community.
As this site autonomously suggests that I should introduce myself, I feel I should do so lest I make it angry (you know how these AI can be). In that vein, I am Cailen'tyr, or Cai for short (that's a hard C as in Cat). Long time Role player, Map maker and occasional Game master.
My mapping began off as the drawing of floor plans for buildings, my gateway maps if you will. Soon I moved on to the harder stuff, countries, floating isles, and even Continents. On rare occasions, I even map whole worlds. Yet I'm afraid I've gone even farther in the last couple years as I run a Sci-fi campaign and therefore have begun mapping entire regions of space. Spending hours with either paper and a pencil or in front of a computer mapping, remapping, coloring, detailing and printing maps, its an addiction. I've even gone so far is to create a 3d digital model of one of my cities (albeit I borrowed some 3d buildings for it, I'm not so far gone yet that I have to model each individual one)
That more or less covers my history with maps. The majority have been fantasy maps, with only a few being modern or sci-fi maps, though the latter are becoming more common.
I look forward to being a part of this community.

Hillman Interview: Zack an All-Star, Buck returns
Leader of the pack
We all know what A.L. All-Star selection Zack Greinke (congratulations to Zack on the well-deserved honor!) is capable of, and the impact he has on the field, but what does his ability to stay so dominant all season long due to the rest of the pitchers on the team that have struggled to stay consistent? "It brings out some very healthy competition amongst the boys, they push each other to be the best they can be. Between them, they all know who is good at what, who can answer a certain question, and whom to ask for help or advice, it's their own little team and they feed of each other to strive to be as successful as possible," said manager Trey Hillman.
Buck is back
Royals catcher John Buck made it back to the greater Kansas City area yesterday after a long drive home from Omaha, where he was rehabbing his injured lower back. After catching back-to-back nine inning games (which is what was instructed by the Major League club) he was given the green light to come home, do some light working out, and have his back re-evaluated. If everything goes well this afternoon with his workout and evaluation, most likely John Buck will be given the ok to go on the road trip to Detroit with the team.

2013 Amsoil/Street Rodder Road Tour Leg 7Written by on February 11, 2014 Easy Street Speed & Kustom Road Tour
Our week on the Easy Street Speed & Kustom Road Tour took us from the NSRA Nationals North Plus to the Charlotte Autofair held at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We headed out right after the award ceremonies on Sunday afternoon in Kalamazoo. It was a short drive to Fairmount, Indiana, where James Dean spent most of his youth. In Fairmount we visited the James Dean Gallery and Museum, which is less than 2 miles to his resting place in Park Cemetery.
Monday morning we visited Tim and Brenda Allred in Anderson, Indiana, and enjoyed seeing their car and automobilia collection along with plenty of friendly coffee and doughnuts. From Anderson we traveled to Harrison, Ohio, near Cincinnati. The folks at SoffSeal had planned an open house for our lunch stop and a large crowd of local rodders welcomed us at SoffSeal. Also in Harrison we visited the shop of Wade Hughes. Wade has been a part of the Cincinnati hot rod scene for many years and is famous for his flamed paintwork. He has also painted flames on a past Road Tour Chevy street rod for us. While in Cincinnati we visited the Antique Boat Center where we all enjoyed seeing the many vintage wooden boats on display; it's also here where a great deal of repair and restoration work occurs on these early pieces of nautical art.
Next up was a stop at Zakira's Garage. We were greeted by good friend Joshua Shaw who gave us a tour of the facility where they specialize in restoration of early race cars. Many of the cars saw action at the Indianapolis Speedway in the early days of racing. Our amazing day in Cincinnati wrapped up at the facilities of Easy Street Speed and Kustom. They were ready for our arrival with plenty of food and another great turnout of Cincinnati rodders. Easy Street is a full service shop that was filled with projects ranging from restorations to engine modifications and paint- and bodywork. Shop manager Greg Nolan was on hand all evening to answer our questions and a DJ kept things lively until dark.
Tuesday we headed south from Cincinnati and enjoyed a beautiful drive through Southern Ohio and onto the mountains of West Virginia. We spent the evening in Wytheville, Virginia, and then headed out Wednesday morning. After a pretty drive through the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina we arrived at Jet-Hot headquarters just in time for lunch. We were greeted by owner Gordon McGlinton and Cheryl Herrick who handles advertising and promotion at Jet-Hot. We enjoyed lunch and then Gordon gave us a tour of the coating facilities and the processes they offer to treat metal for many different applications. We also enjoyed seeing the extensive automotive collection that Gordon has on display. It was a great lunch stop and visit with folks who are very passionate about their work and their love affair with special-interest vehicles.
Continuing south we stopped in Randleman, North Carolina, at the Richard Petty Museum. The museum houses the trophies, awards, and memorabilia that come from an amazing career. The Richard Petty story is truly an American success story that still continues today. By Thursday evening we arrived in Concord, North Carolina, and checked into the hotel that would be our headquarters for the rest of the week. Thursday morning it was a short drive to the facilities of Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts. We were all surprised and pleased that Dennis Carpenter was waiting for us in the parking lot when we arrived. Dennis told us the story of how the company began and how, through hard work and quality products, it has grown to be the leading supplier of Ford restoration parts in the world. We were able to tour their manufacturing areas and we all enjoyed the collection of vehicles and memorabilia on display in the museum. It was a great start to our weekend in the Charlotte area. We then headed to downtown Charlotte and the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Museum. This huge facility opened in 2010 and tells the story of how NASCAR went from dirt tracks and homebuilt race cars to the huge corporate entity that it is today. The history of the cars, the teams, and the men and women who were part of this growth is told with interactive displays that fill four floors. From the Hall of Fame and Museum we drove to the headquarters of Fatman Fabrications. Owner Brett Vandervort greeted us, gave us a personal tour of the shop, and then treated us to some of the best barbecue in Charlotte. It was a great evening at Fatman Fabrications.
Friday and Saturday were spent at the huge Charlotte Autofair. The Hornet's Nest is the host club for the event and club member Mel Carson and his team set us up with a perfect location in the infield. It was a great two days as we all enjoyed the swap meet and activities that go along with the Charlotte Autofair. It was another fun-filled week on an AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour. Go to our website www.streetrodder.com for expanded coverage of the Easy Street Speed and Kustom Tour. The 2014 schedule is set. Check your calendar and make plans to join in the fun on a tour or two this summer.

Dear Eastmans.
Can someone block this guy. I think it is husky musky under another screen name. We don't need negative attitudes on the best forum on the web! This forum is not made to bicker. It is intended to learn and educate folks. Not debating. the atmosphere is pretty mellow around here and that's how we like it.
This is not huskey musky. Arn't forums to let people share thier opinion and thought on topics??? And all I am trying to do is let people know that the Mule deer in Wyoming are on the decline and some of the reasons why. Would you want to spent the money for a out of state tag, to find out that all the info of the area you have been reading about is not true. Or would you want to know the facts before hand??

I, for one, hope you stick around. I understand your frustration with your hunting area being "discovered." That happens with or without a magazine or a forum. This forum is pretty tight. Maybe somebody here can help you get on to some deer during these lean times. Maybe you can help somebody here out as well.
Mule deer numbers are cyclical. They should rebound, maybe not to their former greatness, but still better. Hunters sticking together is going to be the biggest help. Hunters have always been big game's best friend.
I posted my thoughts on some misinformation (IMO) on Montana, including some overly optimistic information on some units. I posted about it in the MRS section of the Forum. Maybe you could do something similar in the WY MRS forum.
I don't think it's magazines like eastmans that causes the deer population decrease. It's definitely has to do with winter kills and predator kills. Even if eastmans says where it is good to hunt, does not make an area over hunted. Most of the areas that are good hunting are hard to draw areas. The game and fish isn't going to give out more tags just because the area is popular. I don't have a problem at all telling people where my honey holes are. Also, out of staters that are looking to hunt here in wyoming shouldn't just go off of what a magazine says. It's a good place to start but if you are wanting even better information, there's no better way than to go straight to the source. By that, I mean drive to wyoming and do your own research.
If none of us replied to sellout perhaps he will just fade away.
This year's hard winter killed more deer in western Wyoming than the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has seen in years.
Preliminary results show the Sublette deer herd lost between 45 and 60 percent of its mule deer fawns and the Wyoming Range herd lost as many as 75 percent of its fawns. Those are some of the worst losses recorded in the Wyoming Range herd since 1990, according to a Game and Fish release.
The numbers are also a minimum, since some deer will keep dying from depleted reserves even as spring continues.
Game and Fish also conducted a survey of all deer carcasses using volunteers to canvass deer habitat. This year's survey, completed this month, showed more than 400 dead deer in the Wyoming herd, the highest number since the early 1990s.
The fawn loss could impact hunting for the next few seasons. Officials already proposed limiting the hunting season for the Sublette mule deer herd to three days, taking away the last weekend of the general season and eliminating the "any deer" season in some areas.
For more information contact the Jackson Game and Fish office at 307-733-2321 or the Pinedalen Game and Fish office at 307-367-4353, or visit the Game and Fish website.

Is that where you live? I'm just curious as to how different your winter has been there as compared to here. We have had an unbelievably mild winter but I wonder about the rest of the state. I'm also waiting for one of our nasty march storms...May mess up a lot!
HARVEST REPORTS for 2011 are not out yet.
jenbickel yes our winter has been very mild this year. For now it has been easy on the deer this winter, but if we do not get the snow or spring rain there will not be any feed for the next winter

Hello everyone,
I own a Lexmark E120 but it's broken. I wonder what else I could get ?
I dont need a huge printer, it's for small home project. I got a samsung one today and it doesnt work.
When I print, it's always the same result (no dots). When I print with a frequency of 55 lines/inches it look the same as a 80 lines/inches. Just wonder what kind of laser printer do you use for small DIY home project ? Or which characteristic I should look for?
Thank you

Hello everyone:
I'm trying to migrate my old postfix users' passwords hashed in MD5 to Zimbra CS 7.0. I'm able to view the postfix's passwords with this simple sql query:
I read this:Quote:
mysql> select Username, Password from postfix.mailbox;
|⠀firstname.lastname@example.com⠀⠀⠀| db77e4a763ec5b10bd818a39XXXXc7bd⠀|
|⠀firstname.lastname@example.com⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀| 6473275beXXXXd628855e20736b9aeb6⠀|
Password Migration - Zimbra :: Wiki
And I executed a simple "modify account" on a user:
But it didn't work, after read some related threads i executed:Quote:
zmprov ma email@example.com userPassword '{crypt}db77e4a763ec5b10bd818a39XXXXc7bd'
It failed again. So I had to go deeper into, using ldapsearch and ldapmodify:Quote:
zmprov ma email@example.com userPassword '{MD5}db77e4a763ec5b10bd818a39XXXXc7bd'
It gave me:Quote:
/opt/zimbra/openldap/bin/ldapsearch -H ldap://mail.mydomain.com l -D uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra -x -w <my-pass> | grep -A 10 mailadmin
I changed it with:Quote:
userPassword:: ADfdsafaSGFASQ== (a base 64 value with {SSHA})
Now, the userPassword says:Quote:
/opt/zimbra/openldap/bin/ldapmodify -x -h mail.mydomain.com -D "uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra" -w <mypass>
dn: uid=mailadmin,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: {MD5}db77e4a763ec5b10bd818a39XXXXc7bd
modifying entry "uid=mailadmin,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
Please note that "::" means that the value is written in Base64. The above text says: {MD5}db77e4a763ec5b10bd818a39XXXXc7bd, that looks goodQuote:
userPassword:: e01ENX1kYjc3ZTRhNzYzZWM1YjEwYmQ4MThhMzlYWFhYYzdiZA ==
But the problem is not solved. I need to import all those MD5 hashes into the LDAP directory. I've read and tried some methods like putting "password-hash {MD5}" into slapd.conf and so, but it isn't working.
What can I do? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
