Daytona Beach, FL (Sports Network) - Joe Gibbs Racing swept the front starting
row for Saturday night's Coke Zero 400, with Kyle Busch winning the pole and
Matt Kenseth placing second in qualifying at Daytona International Speedway.
Busch posted a lap in Friday's qualifying at 193.723 mph for his third pole of
the season and the 13th of his Sprint Cup Series career. It's also the first
time he's won a pole for a restrictor-plate race (Daytona and Talladega) in
any one of NASCAR's three national touring series.
Kenseth's lap was clocked at 193.299 mph. He claimed his series-leading fourth
win of the season last weekend at Kentucky.
Clint Bowyer from Michael Waltrip Racing qualified third to give Toyota the
top-three starting positions. Kasey Kahne, in a Chevrolet, took the fourth
spot, while Bowyer's teammate, Martin Truex Jr., completed the top-five.
Paul Menard, Michael Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson, who won the Daytona 500 in
February, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Greg Biffle qualified sixth through 10th
Danica Patrick will start 11th. Patrick became the first female to start on
the pole for a race in NASCAR's top series earlier this year when she won
qualifying for the Daytona 500.
All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the starting field for Saturday's
400-mile race at Daytona, which is scheduled to start just after 7:30 p.m. ET.

If beautiful eyelashes are your goal, then Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Lash Enhancers products are your starting line. And it's not just about beauty. Lashes need care and nourishment just as much as any other area of your face, and they deserve the same attention. To achieve strong, healthy, beautiful lashes, you have to provide them with the proper nutrients, vitamins and other essential ingredients to help them survive and flourish. The carefully formulated and tested elements in the Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Lash Enhancers products provide the raw materials that your lashes need to achieve their potential as the long, thick and lovely lashes you desire.
Your lashes work hard for you: Every minute of your waking day, they wave back and forth as you blink, sweeping up dust and other airborne particles before they can reach your eyes. Isn't it about time you did something in return for all this effort? With the nourishing and vitalizing ingredients in the Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Lash Enhancers Products, you can both keep your lashes strong and healthy and make them look long, thick and gorgeous. It's a win-win situation!
In one sense, lashes are just like any other type of hair: Made of Keratin and melanin (the part that gives them color), they have roots based in the skin of your eyelids and shafts that need to be nourished and strengthened. Unlike the rest of your hair, however, your lashes are subjected to a great deal more physical and chemical stress. Mascara and other makeup gets brushed directly on lashes, while eye shadow can affect the follicles on the lids. Brushing makeup on, removing it later, even curling the lashes – no wonder they can become damaged! This is where Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Lash Enhancers products can come to the rescue. Nourish and strengthen those lashes; keep them healthy and beautiful to enhance your eyes.
Remarkable for its versatility, Osmotics FNS Nutrilash is designed to be used on both lashes and eyebrows. Carefully formulated to counteract conditions which may cause loss of lashes and an unwanted over-thinning of eyebrows, this product contains a powerful suite of 17 different amino acids and a wide range of enhanced vitamin sources. All hair – including lashes and eyebrows – have cuticle cells (not to be confused with nail cuticles) which provide the strength for the hair shafts; amino acids keep them moisturized and healthy. Also included are ten vital B-complex vitamins, from thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2) through B12 (cobolamin). Biotin (B7, but also called vitamin H) is particularly important for hair strength. Plus it includes cinnamon extract, which is widely used to promote hair growth.

TEMPLE HILLS, Md. (WUSA) -- The three firefighters taken MedStar Washington Hospital Burn Unit have been released after sustaining 1st and 2nd degree burns Wednesday morning.
The firefighters were called to a single family home in the 2900 block of Colebrooke Drive just before 3 a.m. Wednesday and saw heavy smoke coming from the basement level of the house.
Some people who lived in the house told firefighters that three family members were missing. A team of firefighters went to look for the missing family members while other firefighters went to battle the fire. They later found that all 13 occupants were accounted for and safe outside.
The fire was located in the basement and thick smoke filled the basement and stairway going up to the first floor. Firefighters began to extinguish the fire with three firefighters at the top of the stairwell to "hold the stairs" using a hose line to keep the fire from spreading. They succeeded in keeping the fire from reaching the top floor.
However, the firefighters sustained burns to multiple parts of their body after being exposed to extreme heat even though they were wearing full personal protective equipment and gear. They will remain off-duty until follow-up treatments at the Burn Unit have been completed.
The cause of the fire was accidental and believed to be the result of a malfunctioning dehumidifier.
Eight adults and five children were displaced from the house, which suffered an estimated $100,000 in damage. The residents are being assisted by the County Citizen Services Unit.

NHTSA Launches Anti Drunk Driving Campaign
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) released 2005 statistics on DUI accidents this week. The total number of alcohol-related traffic deaths in 2005 was 16,885–virtually unchanged from 2004's 16,919.
The data did indicate that 23 states and Puerto Rico had decreased their alcohol-related traffic fatalities during the preceding year.
In conjunction with the report,the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration announced a "massive new advertising blitz and enforcement crackdown."
The $11 million media campaign will be aimed primarily at young men, since statistics showed that 58% of all alcohol-related traffic fatalities involved male drivers between the ages of 21 and 44.
The Department will also work with thousands of police agencies combat drunk driving, including enhanced DUI enforcement.

Hi All
Since I started using Zimbra (currently I have a v7 and v8 edition running) I have stopped the zimbra services and then rsynced the opt/zimbra directory. I used this on my fist machine move from Centos 5.5 to Ubuntu 10.4 on v6.
I have been reading a 13 page heated post on here about backups and ldap and a file which seems to come across as possible 80gb. Now I am still a novice when it comes to Linux and I know if I search on here I will find lots of example of backups but an now confused whether any of these will be correct. I did notice a Zimbra employee saying we should not even be using rsync but with open source editions our options are a little limited.
I am looking for some advise here as to what I should really be doing in the way of backups just for security and even in the event of moving to a new server.

WHEELING - When the 16-year-old girl first arrived at Hillcrest, she had just undergone surgery to repair the cuts she made to her arm.
Her first drawing during an art therapy session summed up the way she felt: a broken heart barely held together with thin stitches. She titled it "Hanging by a Thread."
Creative Arts therapist Valerie Fincham, who works at Hillcrest Behavioral Health and the new Robert C. Byrd Child & Adolescent Mental Health Center in Wheeling, said as the girl's therapy progressed, her artwork changed. Her mind began to heal, much like her arm was healing.

John Antal, left, director of the Robert C. Byrd Child & Adolescent Mental Health Center in Wheeling, and Creative Arts therapist Valerie Fincham pose with some of the artwork created by children during therapy sessions.
Recognizing and sharing feelings isn't always easy, especially for a child who is depressed. That's where asking a child to draw or paint a picture comes in.
The fun, carefree task often helps open the door to them sharing their feelings. Known as art therapy, the program is one of four used in the Activity Therapy Department at the center in Wheeling. Fincham said in addition to painting and drawing, music, exercise and recreation are used. The children also receive nutrition counseling.
"That variety offers patients different avenues to express themselves. We have some patients who are intimidated by the idea of making artwork and others who enjoy music," she said.
Center Director John Antal said children often have a difficult time expressing their emotions verbally.
"They can do that through their artwork. That's also very helpful during individual sessions and family meetings because then they can show their parents what they've drawn or discuss it with the clinical therapist and get to a deeper understanding of what's going on with their depression," Antal said.
The center helps children 5 to 18 years old. In addition to cognitive therapy sessions, on weekdays they participate in three activity groups and on weekends one activity group each day. Fincham said the children are given a topic of discussion each day, but the classes are much less regimented compared to a school setting.
''Art can be a little more free spirited. ... It gives them that freedom and a little bit less of that feeling of, 'I'm doing it wrong' or being judged - things that would happen at school or at home,'' Fincham said.
As their self-esteem builds, the children become proud of what they have created and accomplished.
''The nice thing about art therapy is that they are able to express themselves in a fun manner. Kids like to draw and paint and color things, and while they're doing that they may unconsciously be drawing out their feelings. And we can refer back to that and the light comes on above their heads - 'Wow, now I understand,''' Antal said.
Fincham noted the children can take their artwork home with them, but sometimes they give it to the therapists to keep or show to other children in the future.
''One of the teenage boys drew a picture of a covered bridge with darkness going into it and sunlight coming out. He said that's what he felt he gained from our program - that he came in feeling depressed and he was leaving with a better sense of who he is and more confidence. It's on a posterboard. He gave it to me and it's in my office now on a wall,'' Antal said.
Fincham said being an art therapist is fun work, but at the same time ''heavy and intense'' because of the issues the children are dealing with.
''Seeing that it actually helps and that it can work changes how you look at things. I have a few favorites I reference on bad days, too,'' she said.

The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4,000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, Babylonians celebrated the beginning of a new year on what is now March 23, although they themselves had no written calendar.

I was wanting to print out my address book but when I try to print out 'address book' it only prints the names that are displayed, which in my case was 100 names since I changed the display setting from 25 to 100.
Also, if anyone has a suggestion for printing my Yahoo/Zimbra address book out. My Yahoo address book is my primary but I would like to have a hard copy to have with me. I don't think there is a good way to print it out on using Yahoo print utility. I am thinking that I used Outlook once and that worked fairly well.

A Letter to Any Teen Who's Thinking About Suicide
Dear friend,
Let me start by telling you that I love you. No, I don't know you at all. I might have passed you at the mall or caught a glimpse of you driving down the road, but chances are you live far away from me, in another state or even in another country. I love you just the same. Even though we are distant, we are not so different, you and I. This is a picture of me when I was a teen. You can tell by looking at me that I felt different, unhappy. You see, like you, I have felt intense pain. I've even had fleeting moments when I wanted to commit suicide myself. I suspect that's something that everyone thinks about at one time or another, if they're honest with themselves. I know that sometimes, pain can become so heavy to carry around that you might just think killing yourself is the only respite from how bad you feel. But don't do it. This is why.

Bear in mind that this article was written back in October 2000, so it is nearly 12 years old right now and was written for the then new upgrade of Iford Delta 400 that replaced it's predecessor.
It gives an interesting overview of how close these films perform even with the newer technology films like Kodak T-MAX 400 and Delta 400 compared to Tri-X, HP5 Plus, Neopan 400 and Agfa APX 400.
IMHO, the ISO 400 speed group is the best choice for general photography and these films are capable of excellent results if care is taken with exposure and processing. Slower finer-grained films are of course a better choice when higher resolution is required.

|Butter making at Westview
Thursday, Jan. 10, Westview residents had a great time churning butter. Lots of discussion of how they churned butter in their day and many wonderful memories were shared. Hot bread right from the oven was tasty with the delicious butter. The buttermilk was used to make chocolate cake for dinner the following day. The butter churn belonged to Pat Schroeder and Wendell Carothers' parents. Both remembered making butter with it. Pictured are Gerald Burge and Cliff Sexson taking their turn with the churn. Also pictured are Ruby Porter (center) and Marguerite Ott. (Courtesy photo)

A Mississippi woman, who police say was suffering from a mental breakdown, packed her three kids into a car and drove to Georgia in search of "her man."
The Clarion Ledger reports Melody Lynch, 32, cooked breakfast for her husband before leaving on a trip in search of "The Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus, but along the way ran out of gas early Sunday morning along an Interstate in West Point, Ga.
"She flagged down a car and gave her kids to a complete stranger and told the motorist to take them to the police department," said West Point Police Department Captain Robert Fawley.
After taking the kids to the police, the motorists directed authorities to where the kids were picked up. That's where they found Lynch.
Lynch told police when they arrived that she was headed to Atlanta to watch filming of the AMC TV series filmed in Senoia, Ga. about 40 miles away from where Lynch ran out of gas.
After reaching out to the woman's husband, police took Lynch and her children, between the ages of six and ten-years-old, to a shelter in LaGrange.
Sunday night Lynch reportedly left her children to go for a walk. At around 8 p.m., police received a "burglary in progress" call from a neighbor who observed a woman take a chair from her backyard and use it to break the window of a vacant house.
When police arrived at the home, they found Lynch inside "sweating profusely."
Lynch told police she had broken into the house because she thought she had left her children there but could not find them.
In the mean time, Lynch's husband had arrived from Mississippi and was on his way home with their children when he got a call from police about his wife.
Police took Lynch to the hospital for evaluation. Due to her mental condition, no charges have yet been filed.

Oceanside rallies for restoration
(Page 3 of 3)
Residents Michele Misitano and her sister Gabbie expressed skepticism about what the rally might accomplish. "It seemed as if the politicians were here to point fingers elsewhere," Michele said, "to misdirect the anger away from them when they absolutely can do something."
"We're essentially displaced," said Gabbie. "I see a parade of power trucks going to Long Beach Road, heading out of Oceanside. Where are they going?"

Kate Murray has nerve criticizing the performance of any agency.
FOUR(4) Town of Hempstead dump trucks and a payloader came into my neighborhood, all having KATE MURRAY's name on the side of them. They cleared a tree in the road and pushed all the debris to the side taking NONE OF IT!!! Eight guys, and only TWO(2) chainsaws. One supervised, two cut the tree, and the others WATCHED!!!
This is standard practice in the Town of Hempstead. Dump trucks, regardless of the need, regularly patrol the streets looking for debris.
In another month the dump trucks will have their salt hoppers installed and will be patrolling the streets looking for debris. I have told Supervisor Kate Murray about this wasteful practice for the last 3 years, yet it still continues.

I own 3 homes in Long Beach and Lido Beach . One home in Long Beach got destroyed by the flood. That electric was turned on the other day with out any inspections. My other property in Long Beach also got electric without any inspection. My property (Home) in Lido still has no power and we never had even an inch of water. We left a note on our door telling the inspector this and also leaving our phone numbers. We are freezing and I have tried calling every possible number for TOH Lipa and the electric co with no luck. Please turn on our power. This is insane that we have been in the dark and cold for 2 weeks now.

A suspect robbed Commercial Bank on Highway 39 Wednesday about 11 a.m.
The description of the suspect is that of a young black male, between ages 18 and 25, 5' 5" to 5' 8", 150 pounds who wore a camouflage jacket and white shoes.
The MPD said he was armed with a shotgun, demanded money from a teller and fled in a black Jeep Cherokee, that had a broken driver's side rear window and fake chrome air vents on the front fender. The vehicle also had empty green and white feed sacks inside.
"The vehicle is going to be unique with that busted window," said MPD Capt. Dean Harper. "And I don't believe it had a tag on it either."
Harper said bank surveillance cameras also provided good visual evidence as well.
Anyone who knows anything about the robbery or the suspect is asked to call Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

Body Repair And Primer - Filling TimeWritten by on August 1, 2012
Paint your own car. That scared you, huh? But why not? If you can build a car from the ground up it's a safe bet you already mastered techniques like welding and fabrication. You probably already have a compressor in your home shop too. One of the most common questions regarding spraying a car at home is the legality. Sure some paints are illegal in some states, notably California, but it can be done. It's also complicated isn't it? Well, it doesn't have to be. Especially not with Summit Racing's Paint and Auto Refinish System. They've taken all the mystery out of the process. No longer do you have to go into your local paint supply house, if you even have one in your town, and wonder what it all means.
The Summit system is easy to follow, has a variety of reducers to work at different temperatures, and is available in basecoat/clearcoat or single-stage versions (meaning no clear is required). There's also a range of primers and sealers, and Summit Racing doesn't just sell paint, they sell everything required to tackle bodywork. We ordered body filler, polyester putty, a paint starter kit (comprising masking paper and tape, mixing cups, paint sticks, gun filters, tack rags, and strainer) as well as a new spray mask and suit. Check out the range at www.summitracing.com.
Project Purple Pig is finally ready for body and paint, so we turned to Summit for everything we needed. It was sure nice to have everything arrive in a couple of boxes rather than make repeated trips to the supply house. We'll not be painting the Chevy just yet, as we want to drive it a while to iron out any bugs, but we'll show you how to apply filler, sand it, and lay on high build primer. Any paintjob is only as good as the prep beneath it.
Speaking of what's beneath the paint, I prefer to apply filler over bare metal. With the cars we mess with, any paint is probably several decades old, and if I'm going to spend good money on materials, I want them to stay on the car, so I start with fresh steel, or 'glass. Applying filler over old paint not only relies on the paint's adhesion but may cause shrinkage marks in your final topcoat later on. I should mention that I used to be a bodyman, and modern techniques have probably changed since
I switched professions, plus everyone has their own techniques, so the following is just "my" way of doing things. It's the way I've always done it, and it works for me. Modern primers can have filler applied over them, and in fact you'll see I have done just this over some old primer on the roof of the '49, but I sprayed that primer, I know what it is, and I know what's under it! I prefer to use a DA (dual action) air sander with 40-grit discs to prep the metal, though 80-grit could be used.
It should be stressed that body filler is not intended as a cure for deep dents or rust, but as a skim coat over well-repaired body panels. If your filler is more than 1/8-inch thick, it's too thick! Once the panels are sanded and blown clean using an air gun, it's time for that skim coat. On opening the tin of filler, you'll probably see a honey-like resin layer on top. This just means the components have separated during storage, so stir the filler with a paint mixing stick until it achieves consistency throughout. You may also find the filler is thicker at the bottom of the tin at first. While cardboard is often used for mixing filler on, it absorbs some of the resin, so use a plastic or glass mixing board.
The accompanying captions explain how to mix and apply filler, but try to spread it smoothly and over the entire area to be repaired. If you find you need to add filler in some areas after sanding, re-apply a spread over the whole area, not just the low section, as it'll make it way easier to block it flat than trying to block an area of fresh filler in the middle of already-sanded filler, as you'll always end up sanding the new and the old. Oh, and while it may look like there's a lot of filler on the Chevy, the gallon can was enough to cover all the repairs seen on both sides of the car. A thin skim can go a long way!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
5 Using a filler spreader, mix the hardener into the filler until it's a uniform color, then remove any unmixed filler from the spreader using a clean rag or shop towel.6 Mix the filler slowly, or you'll get air pockets. I purposefully mixed this batch quickly to illustrate that. The arrows indicate the air bubbles, which will transfer to the panel the filler is applied to. They may be slightly under the surface and undetectable until they blister through the finished paintwork at a later date. Small air bubbles, which will appear as pinholes in the sanded filler, are unavoidable and can be filled with putty prior to primer, but large ones will ruin all your good work.7 Always try to spread the filler as smoothly as possible, as it'll make sanding so much easier. Also, though spreading a large area at once may seem daunting at first, attempt to cover the whole section you're working on, as filling small sections always seems to result in low spots where areas of filler applied at different times meet. You'll sand more off this way, but it's actually easier.8 If you remember, I welded lower repair sections to the rear quarters of the '49, and the top of the driver side panel was warped from previous bad repairs. This illustrates what I mean by spreading filler over the entire section. As it was such a large area, and I didn't want the filler to set before I was done; this isn't the neatest spread I've ever done!9 Before the filler completely cures, a rasp can be used to rough out the repair, saving time sanding later. This is the rocker panel, which again, was completely spread, though most will end up on the floor.10 Whether sanding with a DA or by hand, stop frequently and run your hand over the area to check for high/low spots. Don't use your fingers—you'll get a better feel for the surface using your palm.11 I sanded the entire quarter-panel with the DA using 40-grit, leaving the filler slightly higher than required as I'll use finer grit by hand to take it down to its final finish. When you start to see spots of metal showing through, it means you either have high spots you didn't repair correctly at the hammer and dolly stage, or you're approaching the hand-blocking stage. Hopefully it's the latter!12 Though I have an arsenal of sanding blocks, I use this trio most frequently. Removing the metal rods transforms them from rigid to flexible, as we'll see.
14 Using the long-block, with the metal rods inserted, the quarter-panel was sanded in a cross-hatch manner.15 With the rods removed, the same block was used to sand the hip section of the panel, again in a crosshatch manner, which eliminates the possibility of flat spots.17 Once sanded with 80-grit, you'll note how many more areas of metal are showing through. Almost there now.18 You may remember I had to remove small vertical sections from the leading edge of each quarter when I was gapping the body panels a few months ago. With a skim of filler applied to the panel and inside the door shut, wrapping 80-grit around a paint mixing stick ensured the gaps would be even. Don't be afraid to use whatever will work as a block. Old radiator hoses make excellent blocks for curved areas, for instance. Just make sure they're clean and free of oil, grease, or silicone.19 The '49 Chevy has a body line under the beltline trim that extends from the A-pillar, through the doors, and around under the rear window. This required extensive surgery during the roof chop as it had to be laid down around the rear of the roof. I cut a filler spreader to the shape of the body line to apply filler here.20 With filler applied and sanded above and below the beltline, I could use the modified spreader on the body line.21 With masking tape as a guide, I again wrapped 80-grit around a mixing stick to sand the body line and achieve a crisp edge.
23 Throughout the quarter-panel repair I used a factory fender skirt as a guide, both while fitting the repair panels to achieve the correct curvature, and when applying the filler. The tape shows where the gap needs a little more work to be uniform. Though I doubt I'll run skirts, I welded the tabs and mounts in place so I have the option.24 This is Summit Racing's painter's starter kit, comprised of masking paper in three different widths, masking tape (some of which I'd used prior to snapping this pic), mixing sticks, paint strainers, mixing cups, tack cloths, and water filters for the spray gun.24 This is Summit Racing's painter's starter kit, comprised of masking paper in three different widths, masking tape (some of which I'd used prior to snapping this pic), mixing sticks, paint strainers, mixing cups, tack cloths, and water filters for the spray gun.25 Wax and grease remover was applied to the entire area to be primed, before any small particles of debris and dust were removed with a tack cloth.26 It may seem like you're nearly at the end, but getting to the primer stage is about halfway to a finished paintjob! I used Summit's high-build DTM (direct to metal) primer, as it's legal where I live.27 With the window and door apertures masked off to prevent overspray entering the car, it was finally time to prime. If you're wondering why some of the filler is a different shade, it's because I used varying amounts of hardener depending on the temperature at the time, which will affect the color.28 Here's why strainers are an excellent idea, even for primer. Despite rigorous stirring, there were still a few lumps of primer in the can. The paint settles during storage and transport, and these lumps will easily block a spray gun. Not so when a strainer is used!29 The mixing cups make it simple to add the correct amount of activator to the primer, using the ratios printed on the side.
31 Left overnight to cure, a guidecoat could now be applied and the primer blocked by hand. However, I'm going to assemble the car and shake it down prior to paint, so it'll stay like this for a while. In case you're wondering about the yellow primer on the roof, that's also high build primer, applied after I chopped the roof many years ago.

I wanted to give zimbra a try because the demo looks really promising.
But - to be honest - I don't get along with the documentation at all.
Assuming I have already installed Postfix, OpenLDAP and so on, I can't use the binaries (besides: using debian).
But trying to build from scratch, things get confusing: The INSTALL.txt in the source seems to be written for developers (running zimbra from eclipse on a windows-Box.)
It doesn't appear to be meant for installing productive.
Of course, I don't want to develop but to use it. On Linux.
Is there another document or forum or wiki or anything that can give some hints on what to do?
Greetings an thank you for helping,

2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 - It's Back And It's BaaadWritten by on August 1, 2008 Contributors: Courtesy of Chrysler Dodge Returns To Its Musclecar Roots After A 35-Year Absence
It's finally here. After a highly publicized and long awaited release, the Dodge Challenger is back, and what it brings to the table is what enthusiasts have been craving for many years-ground-shaking performance and nostalgic cues reminiscent of the original Challenger. Adding to the package are a wide variety of modern amenities and technologies designed to make driving the '08 Challenger even more enjoyable than in the '70s.
According to Mike Accavitti, director of Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing, Chrysler LLC, "The new version of Dodge's American classic boasts tire-smoking performance and head-turning design, while offering a wide array of state-of-the-art technology, such as GPS navigation, Keyless Go entry, a MyGIG infotainment system, and a UConnect hands-free communication."
Developed by Chrysler's in-house performance engineering organization-SRT-the '08 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is engineered with a bold exterior design, a race-inspired interior, world-class ride and handling, a standout powertrain, and benchmark braking.
By the time you read this, new Challenger owners will be taking delivery of this new-age monster. When checking the limited option boxes, they had their choice of three colors: Hemi Orange, Bright Silver Metallic, and Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat. We have to admit, our favorite is Hemi Orange.
Each car is produced with a numbered dash plaque, carbon-fiber-like hood stripes, and is powered by SRT's 6.1-liter Hemi with 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. That's more than enough to get this heavy car moving. That's right, we said heavy. Weighing in at a hefty 4,140 pounds, it will take some serious dieting to get the new Challenger down to a svelte race weight for anyone planning on traveling that avenue.
Chrysler is hoping for performance targets that include a 0-60 time in the low 5-second range, 0-100-0 in less than 17 seconds, a quarter-mile elapsed time of less than 14 seconds, 60-0 mph braking distance of approximately 100 feet, and a skidpad performance of 0.88 g. For a car weighing in at over 4,000 pounds, that ain't too shabby.
But is the all-new '08 Dodge Challenger SRT8 the ultimate performance muscle coupe of the 21st century? For starters, the two-door, rear-wheel-drive coupe is based on the successful Dodge Charger LX platform, but is 4 inches shorter than the four-door Charger. According to Kipp Owen, director of Street and Racing Technology, "The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the ultimate modern musclecar, built by gearheads for gearheads. SRT understands what customers want in a performance car, and with the Challenger SRT8, we will exceed their expectations."
Built on a unibody construction, the all-new Challenger SRT8 features a multilink short-and-long arm (SLA) front suspension. The front-suspension cradle combines hydroformed steel-tube side rails with a stamped box lateral member to provide what Chrysler calls "the appropriate amount of stiffness." The "stiffness" is tuned to avoid the amount of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) that will be transferred into the passenger compartment. The multilink SLA suspension also provided SRT engineers the opportunity to tune bushing compliances for reduction in road noise, while maintaining vehicle handling performance.
The Challenger SRT8 sports a five-link Independent Rear Suspension (IRS). It's no secret that an independent rear suspension offers a better ride by allowing for independent tuning of the ride and handling characteristics. Multiple links maintain independent control of camber and toe during suspension movement. Multiple bushings in the IRS offer the flexibility to tune for ride and comfort. In addition, stabilizer bar attachments provide maximum response to vehicle lean.
"The all-new Dodge Challenger SRT8 is engineered to give customers everything they want in a modern muscle machine." -Mike Accavitti
"The original Dodge Challenger was best known for its straight-line prowess at the dragstrip," said Owen. "The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 not only lives up to that heritage, but was engineered to offer world-class ride and handling characteristics when on the street, at a dragstrip, or at a road course." Finishing off the suspension are SRT-exclusive, fully forged, 20-inch, Alcoa aluminum wheels with four-season Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires-standard for 2008. Three-season Goodyear F1 Supercar tires are available.
The Challenger SRT8's transmission is an electronically controlled five-speed automatic with a lockup torque converter and AutoStick. Three sets of planetary gears provide the individual transmission ratios, while six friction clutches and two overrunning clutches select them. An aggressive First gear ratio provides outstanding launch performance. AutoStick gives the driver the ability to select a higher or lower gear while the transmission controller calibration prevents fuel shutoff during power shifts.
According to Chrysler, a fully adaptive electronic control of all shifting makes the powertrain feel responsive without harshness. Electronically controlled engine torque-management provides smooth full-throttle launches, quick wide-open-throttle up shifts, and quick two-step, kick-down shifts that are smoother. Extensive use of an electronically modulated converter clutch (EMCC) improves fuel economy while maintaining smooth operation.
You'll want to be able to stop this thing when you get it moving, so a specially designed system for the Challenger SRT8 will slow and stop the car quickly, safely, and predictably. All four wheels are equipped with Brembo calipers that feature four pistons for even clamping performance. Up front are 360x32mm vented rotors; 350x26mm vented rotors are in the rear. With estimated 60-0 mph stopping distance of approximately 110 feet, the all-new Dodge Challenger SRT8 offers customers benchmark braking.
So there you have it, the Challenger is back. It all started a couple of years ago when enthusiasts cried for rear-wheel-drive performance. When the Charger was released with four doors, the masses cried foul. This should satisfy everyone.

I moved from Mozilla Thunderbird to Zimbra Desktop client a few months back, and subsequently transferred locally stored mail into Zimbra without too much of an issue.
I would like to file my mail into thunderbird again and sync it with imap on gmail, as a redundancy backup, seeing as I use pop3 for ZD, my mail is only kept locally after retreival from serv, however the export feature on ZD spits out a zip with tar.gz files, which I am somewhat unfamiliar with in regards to being able to move them into a useable format for mozilla thunderbird.
Is there an alternative feature for localized mail storage in regards to file formats and export selections on ZD, if not how else can I transfer these locally stored ZD mail messages into thunderbird, is there a tool//utility to convert them in some way, or am I stuck with a proprietary format on all of my ZD stored mail messages?
Thanks in advance.

Prague has so much to discover, all year round. Take a city break and explore everything it has from urban beaches to Christmas markets.
Take advantage of our Prague flight deals and escape to the Czech capital for less.
Choose from our extensive range of Prague hotels to suit every taste and budget.
Not many European cities can be described as year-round destinations; however Prague is certainly one that is not restricted by seasonality. City breaks in Prague are as much about soaking up the sun, along urban beaches, as they are about absorbing the festive atmosphere when the Christmas markets set up their stalls.
A timeless city, with layers of history and charm - Prague has thoroughly earned its UNESCO World Heritage status.Bursting at the seams with a magnificent display of stunning architecture – which ranges from gothic to neoclassical – this compact city is best explored, and admired, by foot. After a day of sightseeing, embrace the traditional café culture at Café Imperial and admire its splendid Art Nouveau décor. Or sample the nightlife and Prague's famous beer around Mala Strana and Nove Mesto, as the city transforms into a buzzing metropolis after dark. With regular flights, carefully selected hotels in central locations and fascinating things to do, Prague has it all.
Visit the Old Town Square, with its world-famous astronomical clock. Built in 1490, it is one of the oldest in the world and provides a popular hourly show. Climb the Old Town Hall tower for magnificent views of Prague's cobbled streets, castle, river and the magnificent Our Lady of Tyn church. The Charles Bridge is named after the countries most famous monarch and offers superb views and access to the castle side of the river. Friendly musicians and souvenir stallholders attract locals and visitors alike.
Named after the Holy Roman Emperor who emancipated the Jews, Joseph II. Josefov, or the Jewish Quarter, is the birthplace of the celebrated author Frank Kafka. It contains the remains of the historic Jewish slums and 20th century buildings, with its Old-New synagogue and the Jewish museum showcasing some of central Europe's most important Jewish artefacts. It contains six synagogues and an old cemetery.
New Town's most famous landmark is Wenceslas Square, filled with an enticing array of bars, shops and gathering crowds. This is also where you will find the National Theatre, U Fleku beer hall and the National Museum – whose vantage point encourages you to take in the ornate architecture that lies below. It's also the Czech Republic's oldest museum – showcasing everything from mineralogy and zoology to archaeology and anthropology.
Walk down the picturesque streets and enjoy its lively restaurant scene. In the evening walk through the quaint, quieter gas lamp-lit lanes. Take the funicular railway up Petrin Hill, then walk the leafy trails to Petrin Tower – a scale model of the Eiffel Tower built in 1891, providing spectacular views. Explore the maze and the Stefanik Observatory while you're here too.
Containing the world's largest ancient castle, this district lies to the left of the River Vltava, over the Charles Bridge. With cobbled streets and incredible views from the castle walls over Prague, this area is not to be missed. The Prague castle is over 1000 years old and has an hourly changing of the guard and regular exhibitions in the gallery. The Saint Vitus cathedral is located within the large castle walls.

Poly Senior to Receive Diploma and Associate Degree in June
Taylor Williams is frantically searching for the perfect senior prom dress. She also still has not purchased her senior farewell outfit or white graduation dress. But on June 1, the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute senior knows she is set to wear a black mortarcap and gown while receiving her associate's degree from Baltimore City Community College.
Williams is one of a handful of local students pursuing both her high school diploma and an associate degree simultaneously, slated to graduate from high school a day later in June 2.
During his first term, President Obama embraced a system to create a pipeline for students to move easily from high school to four-year institutions through community colleges. Under this approach, students will spend less for a four-year degree.
"In the coming years, jobs requiring at least an associate degree are projected to grow twice as fast as jobs requiring no college experience," said Obama in a statement. "We will not fill those jobs- or keep those jobs on our shores- without the training offered by community colleges."
Williams did a full eight-hour school day in Poly's Ingenuity Project, a demanding college preparatory program geared towards academic excellence in math, science and engineering. She then headed to BCCC where she has been enrolled in as few one and as many as four courses per semester to ensure she would graduate in four years. Sometimes she did not get home until 10 p.m.
"Taylor does a lot inside and outside of her school environment and she still maintains a decent GPA that will get her into any college in the nation," said Jacqueline Williams, principal at Poly. "There are a few students who pursue their associate degree while in high school, but you have to have the stamina. If you don't have it, you won't be as successful as Taylor has been."
Students in Poly's Ingenuity Project must maintain a B-average to remain in the program.
Upon transferring to Poly from Grace Brethren Christian School mid-way through her freshman year, Williams did not have the biology course she needed to ensure she graduated on time. Her parents enrolled her at BCCC initially to catch up. Then they found out about BCCC's Early Enrollment Program, a program allowing high school students to earn college credit before receiving a diploma.
Williams' father accompanied her during her first college-level course at BCCC to ensure she has support.
"I attended the first class with her since she was so young and in an adult setting," said Tommy Williams, Taylor Willams' father who consistently pushes his daughter to excel. "We live in a society where you have to make sure your child is academically ready and the only way to see that is to compete with others."
At Poly, Williams participated in a slew of extra-curricular activities. She ran both indoor and outdoor track, was a member of the JROTC program, and competed in the Baltimore's NAACP ACT-SO Program and the NASA Science, Technology, Engineering and Research Program.
While she has been accepted into the freshman classes of North Carolina A&T University and the University of Maryland College Park, she is, at heart, a teenager who indulges in hanging out with friends, spending evenings at a Sip & Bite restaurant or just driving around the city, with her younger sister in tow.
Williams never shies away from a competition. A self-proclaimed diva, Williams also competed in the Miss Maryland Teen Pageant in 2009.
"I'm a diva at its best. You definitely have to have a lot of confidence to go up there and try out," said Williams of the pageant. "I just wanted to try it out and see what it took."

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Paul George did a little bit of everything
Thursday, totaling 24 points, 11 rebounds, six steals and five assists as the
Indiana Pacers took advantage of Carmelo Anthony's absence in an 81-76 victory
over the New York Knicks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Ian Mahinmi was the only other Indiana player who finished in double figures,
adding 13 points off the bench in the club's third straight win and fifth in
six games.
The Pacers held the Knicks to 26 points below their average two days after
limiting the reigning NBA-champion Miami Heat to 77 points.
Anthony was serving a one-game ban handed down by the league for confronting
Boston's Kevin Garnett following Monday's loss against the Celtics.
Without the league's second leading scorer, New York shot 35 percent from the
field to drop back-to-back games for just the third time this season. J.R.
Smith scored a game-high 25 points, while Tyson Chandler added 12 points and
15 rebounds in the setback.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Poet Richard Blanco has delivered an inaugural poem paying homage to the American experience.
Blanco, at age 44 the youngest ever inaugural poet, recited a poem that painted vivid scenes about America and included reflections on his experience growing up as Cuban exile in New York City and Miami.
Blanco was born in Spain but immigrated to the United States with his parents. He was an engineer before he took up poetry. In addition to being the youngest ever inaugural poet, Blanco is the first Hispanic and the first openly gay person to serve in the role.
Blanco has published three books of poetry while maintaining his career as a consulting engineer.
(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
Text of poem "One Today" written and recited by Richard Blanco at the ceremonial swearing-in ceremony of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, as provided by the Presidential Inaugural Committee:
One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story
told by our silent gestures moving behind windows.
My face, your face, millions of faces in morning's mirrors,
each one yawning to life, crescendoing into our day:
pencil-yellow school buses, the rhythm of traffic lights,
fruit stands: apples, limes, and oranges arrayed like rainbows
begging our praise. Silver trucks heavy with oil or paper -
bricks or milk, teeming over highways alongside us,
on our way to clean tables, read ledgers, or save lives-
to teach geometry, or ring-up groceries as my mother did
for twenty years, so I could write this poem.
All of us as vital as the one light we move through,
the same light on blackboards with lessons for the day:
equations to solve, history to question, or atoms imagined,
the "I have a dream" we keep dreaming,
or the impossible vocabulary of sorrow that won't explain
the empty desks of twenty children marked absent
today, and forever. Many prayers, but one light
breathing color into stained glass windows,
life into the faces of bronze statues, warmth
onto the steps of our museums and park benches
as mothers watch children slide into the day.
One ground. Our ground, rooting us to every stalk
of corn, every head of wheat sown by sweat
and hands, hands gleaning coal or planting windmills
in deserts and hilltops that keep us warm, hands
digging trenches, routing pipes and cables, hands
as worn as my father's cutting sugarcane
so my brother and I could have books and shoes.
The dust of farms and deserts, cities and plains
mingled by one wind - our breath. Breathe. Hear it
through the day's gorgeous din of honking cabs,
buses launching down avenues, the symphony
of footsteps, guitars, and screeching subways,
the unexpected song bird on your clothes line.
Hear: squeaky playground swings, trains whistling,
or whispers across café tables, Hear: the doors we open
for each other all day, saying: hello, shalom,
buon giorno, howdy, namaste, or buenos días
in the language my mother taught me - in every language
spoken into one wind carrying our lives
without prejudice, as these words break from my lips.
One sky: since the Appalachians and Sierras claimed
their majesty, and the Mississippi and Colorado worked
their way to the sea. Thank the work of our hands:
weaving steel into bridges, finishing one more report
for the boss on time, stitching another wound
or uniform, the first brush stroke on a portrait,
or the last floor on the Freedom Tower
jutting into a sky that yields to our resilience.
One sky, toward which we sometimes lift our eyes
tired from work: some days guessing at the weather
of our lives, some days giving thanks for a love
that loves you back, sometimes praising a mother
who knew how to give, or forgiving a father
who couldn't give what you wanted.
We head home: through the gloss of rain or weight
of snow, or the plum blush of dusk, but always - home,
always under one sky, our sky. And always one moon
like a silent drum tapping on every rooftop
and every window, of one country - all of us -
facing the stars
hope - a new constellation
waiting for us to map it,
waiting for us to name it - together.

Maybe Serena Williams is a "method" actress.
In a twist of the highest irony, the 11-time Grand Slammer will be featured in a series of cheeky print ads and online videos for Tampax which shows the former no. 1 defeating Tampax's Mother Nature character, who tries to deliver her "monthly gift" in an unsuccessful attempt to throw Williams off her game – on and off the tennis court.
The campaign launches in October 2009 and will be featured in national teen publications, national beauty, health and women's lifestyle publications. To see the print ads and online videos, visit www.tampax.com and www.beinggirl.com.
Talk about perfect timing. I mean, ReRe's about to pummel poor MoNa. I guess practice DOES make perfect.

Just had a pick 6. That is his second interception in 2 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good about his chances of making the team. Way to go David!
Go Cyclones! Just heard Iowa State on the TV and had to look up. David Sims with the touchdown!

Good for him. I really hope he makes it. Hell of a good player for ISU.
Hope to see some Seneca Wallace soon in this game for Cleveland
I made a thread a couple of days ago that we should be Cleveland fans because of three former ISU players and everyone said no and tonite its awesome to see former ISU players doing great things...
I am surprised he did not make a roster last year. Guy can hit.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
― Alan Wilson Watts
Here it is guys. A good low catch considering he was always marked down for having bad hands.
Great stuff DSims
NFL Videos: David Sims pick six
"And that is picked off by David Sims out of Iowa State!" Love it.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Would be cool to see him playing on Sundays
Wow how awesome was that ! Go Sims go! I will never get tired of hearing OUt of Iowa State !! LOve it
That was quite the grab
He made it look easy.
Way to go David. He was always one of my favorite players and I always thought he had the talent to make it in the pros. From watching that video, is it just me, or has he beefed up some since ISU. He has always been pretty strong, but man, I don't remember him being quite that big.
Amazing play Sims!!! Maybe he meant something else but I was pretty confused when the commentator said "and that's just way too easy for Sims" looked like a tough play to me!! Go Sims and go Browns!

Last year Steve Gorton bought a Unitron 145C here on CN. I regretted not going after it myself and asked him, if he ever decided to sell it, to please give me first shot. Once he found a 4" Unitron he decided the 145C could move on so now it's mine. It came with the original bill of sale from 1971.
So here it is – My Last Classic Scope. The bucket list is complete for me. No other telescopes need apply.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two home
runs, including the go-ahead blast in the eighth inning, as the Arizona
Diamondbacks edged the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, to complete a three-game
sweep at Dodger Stadium.
Goldschmidt, who has homered in three straight games, also had a two-run shot
in the sixth for the D'backs, winners in four of their last five games.
Wade Miley (3-1) allowed two runs and scattered seven hits over 7 2/3 innings
to earn the win. He struck out four without issuing a walk to earn his first
win since April 10. Heath Bell gave up a leadoff double in the ninth, but
recorded the next three outs to earn his third save.
Nick Punto and Adrian Gonzalez both had RBI doubles for the Dodgers, who have
dropped a season-high seven straight games.
Kenley Jansen (1-1) was charged with the loss after giving up Goldschmidt's
second homer of the game
Starter Clayton Kershaw was plagued by a lack of run support once again. The
2011 NL Cy Young Award winner gave up just two runs -- one earned -- on five
hits over seven innings. Over eight starts this season, Kershaw has received
an average of just 2.38 runs per game from the Dodgers' offense.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Board of Regents Spokesman John Millsaps says the board is scheduled to discuss picking a president for the University of Georgia.
Millsaps says officials will conduct a teleconference Monday at 2 p.m. from the Board of Regents offices in Atlanta.
Last week, officials announced University of Georgia provost Jere Morehead was named the sole finalist for university president. Morehead is a 1980 graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law.
When Morehead, 56, was named provost in 2009, current president Michael Adams praised his integrity, compassion and institutional knowledge of the university. Morehead previously served UGA as vice president for instruction, vice provost for academic affairs, director of the honors program and acting director of legal affairs.

We all play our part in the street life of Brighton; quietly-significant events initiated by us, and staged at a particular time and place. It's an everyday city that coexists with its public image - the pavilion, the pier and a reputation for the eccentric - where the streets are animated by the actions of the people who live, work and play here.
10 Acts began with a call for public participation; where locals talked with the artists FrenchMottershead (Rebecca French and Andrew Mottershead) about the range of ways they animate the public spaces around the North Laine neighbourhood. The square where a child chases seagulls away from his lunch, the bench used for early morning meditation, the busy street a woman used to escape unwanted attention; it's the nuances of these mini-dramas that are key to this art project.
From the initial conversations, ten individuals were invited to work with the artists to construct a photograph featuring them and portraying the moment where their private lives and the public stage of the street temporarily merge.
This stunning photographic installation made specifically for the Jubilee Square and the inhabitants of Brighton will be on display from 11 January to 10th March as part of the Street Lights project. The project is run by The Square, Brighton Ltd, The Basement, CineCity and Photoworks, with support from Jubilee Library.

To the editor:
My name is Heather, and I have been working as a nurse in the Emergency Department at Onslow Memorial Hospital for the last 2� years. I recently accepted a new position, and before I leave the area I want to make the people of Jacksonville and the surrounding communities aware of how amazing and wonderful their emergency department at Onslow Memorial is.
Of course I have seen and read all the letters to the editor about the department. Posted in the hallway near the break room is every comment patients fill out on their surveys, so I have seen the good and the bad. But let�s be honest, I�m not surprised � it�s an emergency room, but please, people of Jacksonville, learn to expect the best because you have it.
The people I have worked alongside are some of the most amazing individuals you will ever meet. I can honestly say that working at Onslow Memorial has changed my life and shaped my career for the future.
Behind the management of Steve Byrum and Nancy Pate, the department truly strives for excellence � and I can assure you the staff gives nothing else but that. I have seen these people save lives, experience happy times with patients, sad times with patients, happy times with each other and sad times with each other.
Working in the health-care industry is a struggle all by itself, but working in the emergency department takes that struggle to a whole new level.
So, as I say my goodbyes to the community, the hospital, the staff and people who have become some of my best friends, please remember that this emergency department truly does strive for excellence.
I hope that this letter will open eyes to the wonderful people this community has watching over them in Onslow Memorial Hospital�s emergency department.
