Morally blameworthy civil conduct proved on balance of probabilities
In this case, a homeowner ("Johnson") brought an action against his insurer ("AXA").
Following a fire at his house, AXA denied coverage for a fire loss because it alleged Johnson failed to disclose the presence of a massage parlor in his basement suite and, further, that Johnson himself had started the fire.
The court held that Johnson had made a material misrepresentation in the application for insurance and had committed arson with respect to the fire loss at issue, and upheld the denial of coverage.
In doing so, the court reaffirmed that morally blameworthy civil conduct, such as arson, need only be proved on a balance of probabilities.
Johnson v. AXA Pacific Insurance Co., [2011] B.C.J. No. 414, March 14, 2011, British Columbia Supreme Court, T.C. Armstrong J.
Johnson owned a 4,100 square foot house in Surrey, British Columbia. He purchased the house in May 2001 for the sum of $220,000 and lived in the house over the relevant time period. After 2003, he invested about $40,000 in renovating the house. Johnson created two suites in the house. At the time of the fire, the basement suite was rented by Julie McNamara and the upstairs suite was rented to Alex Ingram. On September 10, 2007, the fire started in three distinct areas on the second floor of the house.
In June 2007, Johnson purchased fire insurance for the house through Gold Key Insurance. In the application for insurance, Johnson was asked questions about the house and indicated "no" to the question as to whether there were going to be any business operations at the location. Mr. Johnson also answered "no" to the question as to whether there were any other income producing opportunities at the house. Johnson acknowledged signing the application but stated that he did not read the small print.
Julie McNamara testified for AXA. She rented the suite but used it only for her aromatherapy and massage business. She and her daughter resided in a townhouse in a different location in Surrey. Ms. McNamara testified that she had advised Johnson of her use for the suite. Ms. McNamara did not have a business licence to operate her massage practice at the house. The Court accepted Ms. McNamara's evidence noting that it would not make sense for her to pay rent on two residential units unless one was used for a purpose other than a home. As well, Ms. McNamara had no apparent motive to be untruthful in her evidence and was not successfully challenged during cross examination.
AXA argued that the failure to disclose this business operation at the house was a material misrepresentation on the application for insurance. AXA called evidence from an expert in insurance underwriting, Ms. Patricia Stirling, an Underwriting Manager with BCAA Insurance Corporation, who noted that additional information would have been required if the business use had been disclosed. If the business use had been acceptable, it could have been approved but with increases in premiums and higher deductibles. A second witness on the issue, a personal lines underwriting manager with AXA, also gave evidence that the information with respect to business use would have been material to the consideration of the application. In this case, the personal lines manager noted that it was unlikely that the risk would have written as aromatherapy was not an approved business.
The Court noted that Johnson was obliged to make an honest and full disclosure of the use of property to AXA. The Court found that Johnson intentionally failed to disclose to the insurance agent the use or intended use of the suite by Ms. McNamara for her aromatherapy/massage business. The Court noted that it was irrelevant whether the insured's failure to disclose was deliberate, inadvertent, overlooked, or unintended: Lafarge Canada Inc. v. Little Mountain Excavating Ltd., 2001 BCSC 218. The Court held that the failure to disclose material information was fatal to the insured's claim under the policy. AXA met the burden to show that it was acting as a reasonable or a prudent insurer in treating the non-disclosure by Johnson as material to the risk and was entitled to void the policy for this reason: see Kehoe v. British Columbia Insurance Co (1993), 28 B.C.A.C. 68. The Court specifically held that Johnson had signed the application and could not avoid the consequences of the deficiencies in his disclosure even if he had not read the application and documents, citing Lee v. Canadian Northern Shield Co., 2005 BCSC 866.
The Court went on to review the elements of arson noting that AXA needed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that it was more likely than not that Johnson intentionally caused the fire. The elements to be considered in this analysis were:
- the fire was of an incendiary origin;
- Johnson had sufficient motive that the fire be set; and
- Johnson had the appropriate opportunity to do so.
The Court reviewed these elements and the law with respect to the burden of proof as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada in F.H. v. McDougall, 2008 SCC 53, where the Court had confirmed that there was no higher burden of proof for allegations of arson than the civil standard.
In this case, the fire causation experts gave persuasive evidence that the fire was caused by an incendiary act due to well defined multiple origins and the absence of any viable accidental cause. As well, positive test results for gasoline were found at the points of origin and a gasoline jerry can lid was located in one of the bedrooms. Johnson did not challenge the opinion of the fire causation expert with respect to the cause of the fire.
The Court rejected Johnson's evidence with respect to the possibility that another individual may have set the fire. The Court noted that Johnson agreed that he had left his doors open but stated that he had left his dog in the house to guard against burglars. However, he went on to admit that the house had been broken into over 40 times prior to the fire including many times when the dog was present. Johnson did not provide any compelling evidence that any other individual entered the house. The Court noted that there was no evidence of anyone else being at the property at the time and no suggestion that Johnson had any enemies or other persons who might have wanted to burn his house. Johnson did not argue that the fire was caused by an intruder. The Court held that there was no rational alternative to Johnson being the probable fire-setter. Though not impossible, it was too speculative to contemplate that an unknown third party would have sufficient motive and opportunity to plan this fire and go through the convoluted process of lighting gasoline in multiple suites in the circumstances of the case. Based on all the evidence, the Court concluded that Johnson had an almost exclusive opportunity to light the fire.
The Court reviewed the evidence with respect to Johnson's financial difficulties. He had failed to pay his utility bills and his ex-wife was advancing a support claim of over $200,000. He had been off work for some time as a result of an injury and was in arrears on his mortgage payment. The Court noted that financial problems were the most common motives alleged and accepted for people to commit arson of their own property, citing Abmrus v. Prudential Assurance Co. Ltd. (1989), 41 C.C.L.I. 115 (B.C.S.C.). A degree of financial strain making the acquisition of money important at the time of the fire provides evidence of motive for arson: Lally v. Safeco Insurance Co. of America (1990), 49 C.C.L.I. 83 (B.C.S.C.). On the basis of the evidence, the Court was satisfied that Johnson was in sufficient financial difficulty that he needed money at the time.
The Court concluded that it was more likely than not that Johnson had started the fire. In the result, the Court held that Johnson had started the fire and breached his insurance policy and dismissed the action.
This case was digested by Jonathan D. Meadows and edited by David W. Pilley of Harper Grey LLP.

Hello there,
1. I am trying to integrate existing portal where users log in with Zimbra mailbox. Idea is to let users log on portal, and then have link to their Zimbra mailbox in portal - without having to enter username and password for Zimbra again. I was considering OAuth Zimbra extension, but I wonder if that could solve my problem, as in OAuth resource owners have to log in to server (Zimbra in this case) in authorization phase anyways.
I would be glad to avoid this step where user must enter uname/pass in Zimbra UI. Is there Zimbra soap API for authorization?
2. If the answer is yes to my previous question, I wonder if Zimbra extension for oauth is for version 2 (OAuth2). It is not well documented.
Thanks a lot!

OS and tools for building dependable systems. The Singularity research codebase and design evolved to become the Midori advanced-development OS project. While never reaching commercial release, at one time Midori powered all of Microsoft's natural language search service for the West Coast and Asia.
"...it is impossible to predict how a singularity will affect objects in its causal future." - NCSA Cyberia Glossary
What's New?
The Singularity Research Development Kit (RDK) 2.0 is now available for academic non-commercial use. You can download it from CodePlex, Microsoft's open source project hosting website, here.
Our recent article in Operating Systems Review, Singularity: Rethinking the Software Stack, is a concise introduction to the Singularity project. It summarizes research in the current Singularity releases and highlights ongoing Singularity research.
Singularity is a research project focused on the construction of dependable systems through innovation in the areas of systems, languages, and tools. We are building a research operating system prototype (called Singularity), extending programming languages, and developing new techniques and tools for specifying and verifying program behavior.
Advances in languages, compilers, and tools open the possibility of significantly improving software. For example, Singularity uses type-safe languages and an abstract instruction set to enable what we call Software Isolated Processes (SIPs). SIPs provide the strong isolation guarantees of OS processes (isolated object space, separate GCs, separate runtimes) without the overhead of hardware-enforced protection domains. In the current Singularity prototype SIPs are extremely cheap; they run in ring 0 in the kernel's address space.
Singularity uses these advances to build more reliable systems and applications. For example, because SIPs are so cheap to create and enforce, Singularity runs each program, device driver, or system extension in its own SIP. SIPs are not allowed to share memory or modify their own code. As a result, we can make strong reliability guarantees about the code running in a SIP. We can verify much broader properties about a SIP at compile or install time than can be done for code running in traditional OS processes. Broader application of static verification is critical to predicting system behavior and providing users with strong guarantees about reliability.

Early Iron - October 2013Written by Eric Geisert on November 28, 2013
Jack Walker
Ford Model A roadster
St. Charles, Missouri
Jack Walker started on his roadster project back in 1960, and he is now 78 years old. He currently lives with his wife, Diana, in St. Charles, Missouri, and he began working on his Model A at the same time his friend, Bill Burnham, was busy building his 1929 roadster, nicknamed "Ol' Blue". Bill and Jack were both early members of the Goodguys organization, and Jack was a representative for 15 years. Another friend of Jack's, Mike Kuhl, built the engine and transmission combo for the hot rod before Mike left St. Louis to open Kuhl Engineering in California, and the drivetrain consists of a 1954 Olds motor backed to a four-speed Hydramatic trans. And though Jack had a stroke in 2009 and isn't able to work on his ride any longer, he does still cherish the cars he has.
Gord McKenzie
1934 Plymouth
Lincoln, California
Gord McKenzie purchased this 1934 Plymouth coupe in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, for only $600. Of course that was back in 1965, and he has since hauled the car from Toronto to Santa Clara and finally to Lincoln, where he started an upgrade program four years ago.
He bought an SRT8 6.1 Hemi and NAG1 five-speed, but found the trans wouldn't shift without a sensor signal from the rear wheels. Being a true hot rodder, Gord designed and fabricated a trigger wheel that mounted between the driveshaft and the trans that mimicked the required input for the PCM. Dolphin and Classic Instrument gauges are found inside and House of Kolor paint on the outside.
Bob Furnad
1929 Ford roadster
Covington, Georgia
Built in the style of a 1960s-era hot rod, Bob Furnad's Model A is channeled far over an original 1932 Ford frame, and it uses a chopped Deuce grille shell as well. Painted Electric Yellow by Harold Bradshaw and pinstriped by Larry West, the 1929 rolls on American Racing Torq-Thrust D wheels wrapped in wide whites. Disc brakes (from Sheppard Race Cars) are found on each corner, and a 1956 Chevy 265 motor built by Travis Dominy sits up front. Topped with triple Holley 94 carbs and an Offenhauser intake, the engine also boasts a COMP camshaft and electronic ignition. Stewart-Warner gauges are found on the dash and a black interior (with pleated bucket seats) perfectly contrasts the exterior color.
Chet Jackman
1934 Plymouth
Sagle, Idaho
Lots of work went into Chet's Plymouth, including a 3-inch channel job as well as a chop (2 inches in the back and 2.5 inches in the front). A '33 Plymouth roof was used for its lower lines, and an insert was filled using a 1978 Chevy Celebrity roof section. The rear was bobbed 2 inches and the doors use hidden hinges and a kit from Specialty Power Windows. More than 100 square feet of Dynamat insulation was used in the coupe, and a 1,000-watt Rockford Fosgate helps pump out the tunes. The 270 Hemi engine came out of a 1955 Dodge Royal, and is equipped with a reground cam from Hot Heads. A Hot Heads transmission adapter was also used for the 700-R4 trans, and a 525 Demon Carb feeds the beast. Out back is a chromed and polished Jag rearend, and the coupe rolls on 15x5 ET wheels up front and 18x10 Boyd wheels in the rear.
Johnny Wimer
1929 Ford coupe
Monroe, Virginia
This is a first-time build for Johnny, and he's very happy with the way his coupe turned out. The body is chopped 2 inches and channeled 4. Pete's Body Shop in Madison Heights, Virginia, did the bodywork, and Scott Stinnett painted the car using PPG's Oh So Sexy Red three-stage candy paints. Inside a set of Dolphin gauges tell Johnny what's going on, and Gary Elder was able to incorporate a Glide Engineering split-back seat when creating the interior for the five-window using tan-colored material from Moore and Giles Leather Company in Lynchburg. Johnny also wanted a Ford engine in his Ford coupe, and opted for a 302 topped with an Edelbrock Performer induction system. After a three-and-a-half-year build, the rod was topped off with a set of 15-inch American Torq-Thrust II wheels.
Ken Nelson
1947 Ford coupe
Beloit, Washington
Hot rodders always have a great story about their first car, and Ken Nelson has a good one. Back in 1962 he and two buddies (Tom Doll and Roger Foss) all chipped in $5 to buy a 1946 Ford for a grand total of $15 and took timed turns racing around the perimeter of Ken's family hay field. By the end of the summer, Tom and Roger's $5 was returned to them and Ken drove the car in his last year of high school. Sometime later he picked up a 1947 coupe and recently got it on the road, about 19 years after he first bought it. Floors and rockers were replaced with Bitchin Products pieces and a new Ford engine and five-speed trans were installed by Hopperstad Rod and Custom.

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

This year I will almost certainly draw Unit 61 muzzleloader elk in Colorado. With over 400 non-residents with the same number or more points as I have, it was time to get off of the point treadmill with 22 points and go elk hunting. I've been waiting for this particular year, with the later September muzzleloader season dates and a darker moon. Last fall had the late dates but a bright moon, so I held off one more year. I wanted a "sure thing" this fall, rather than seeing how the things settle this year with preference points and the next 5 year season structure.
On these once-in-a-lifetime hunts I don't mind asking for help or advice. I've been gathering intel for a few years on the unit. If you have experience with the unit, I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Of course GPS coordinates to your honey hole are always welcome We plan to arrive a week early and be there the full 9 day season. Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Thanks.

Cool! Thanks, Ravells!
Hi all,
This is my first 'proper' font using Scanahand - TNR Distressed, which is based on Times New Roman, but in a more handwritten style which would work for 'hand drawn maps'.
It supports diacriticals so our European brothers and sisters should be happy!
Cool! Thanks, Ravells!

That's awesome. I want to make some fonts myself eventually based on my own print but I have no idea how to even begin.

Cheers guys! It's fast becoming my new obsession, but as always it's never as easy as it first looks.
@RobA: The time taken to mod TNR was about a day.
The easy part was the modding: I just put all the text into Serif Drawplus and applied a roughing filter to it.
The time consuming parts was overlaying the characters on the scanahand template as it involved having to insert a lot of characters from the character map - but I only need to do that once. I have all the characters on one layer so I can easily change the font I want to work with. Then it was a case of running it through scanahand which generated the font.
Essentially what scanahand does is autotrace raster images of your glyphs, turn them into vector and make a font file - it's an incredibly quick way of making a font. The auto-trace function is OK, but not great and it's very much a case of Garbage in, Garbage out. The biggest problem I found was that the template is on two sides of A4 and the size of each glyph box is about 3/4 of an inch square. Even a 600 dpi scan would not give great results if there was ink bleed on the paper. I'm working on better materials - normal printer paper doesn't seem to cut it. Photographic paper would be good, but it's expensive. It's OK though as Drawplus has one of the best autotrace features out there, so I can draw large glyphs which I can clean up in Drawplus and then put into the scanahand template.
TNR Distressed is the first font I've done and pretty crap as I haven't dealt with any kerning issues, but I've learned how to do that now and may go back to it later and address them, but it was really more of an experiment. To deal with Kerning (and other) issues I bought 'Font Creator' - I sprung for the professional version which is an all singing/dancing font editor with a very intuitive interface. It also allows you to import vector directly. I will need to go back to the 'dark cities' fonts (made using scanahand) and import them directly as vectors since scanahand couldn't handle the detail of the streets.
I had a really good free light font editor (Typelight - but it didn't support kerning pairs). I looked at the open source font editor, Font Forge, but couldn't even get past the instructions for loading it as it involves some Unix Bash Shell? stuff involving .gz files and other recondite things which I didn't want to waste my life trying to work out. There is another free one, Type Tool, which looks like it does support kerning which may be worth a look.
I'm working on a mapping font based on a map I have at home which was drawn in about 1780 (Reference attached). What is interesting is that he uses a Capitalised italics for town names and regular caps for city names. Because the town font only ever uses caps at the start of a word, you can get some great effects but at the cost of not using putting caps together when using the town font (which you don't need to do). Also attached are my results so far for the town font (I've still got a way to go with kerning and making the glyphs more uniform) - I'm still getting workflows established and learning how all this works so it's taking a bit of time. I've also found that mapping fonts tend to be very light, so the text doesn't overwhelm. My objective is to create a font family: Town labels, City labels and Country labels.
@Jax, if I can do this, so can you. If you'd really like a go I suggest:
Download the evaluation version of Scanahand - you can't save the fonts you create but you can see what they look like in the preview window. Have a play - it's incredibly simple to use.
Also download a font editor (I suggest Typelight or Type Tool which are free, but if you want the full featured versions you'll have to pay, and if you're going to pay I would suggest getting something good). Once you have generated your font in Scanahand you can resolve kerning and other metric issues (like making all your glyphs exactly the same size etc.)
Download Inkscape (if you don't have it already) as having dedicated vector software is also very helpful.
Then try this:
In inkscape Type in the letters of the alphabet in upper and lower case and numbers and symbols from your keyboard.
Select all the text and apply modifications to it. For example if you want it heavier, put a black line around it.
Paste the characters into the scanahand template and generate your font.
If you want to adjust the font kerning etc, open your font in a font editor and do it there.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
It'll be a good introduction to vector for you, Big A!
I should add that it's a really time consuming process if you want to do it well. A bit like making cities!!!
It's amazing how good the human eye is at picking out inconsistent line weights, line slope angles and alignment. You can be out by a mm or a couple of degrees and the eye will still spot it (look at the 'Miller' label in my pic above and the inconsistent angle of the i and the l stands out a mile. So there's lots of editing to get the font to look right if you're designing it from scratch.

text: So after hunting every day of the MT archery season I finally had an opportunity at a 350+ bull on Sept. 17th, and blew it. After spotting some bulls bedded down in a small patch of timber, my buddy and I made a move on them. After stalking to within a 100 yards I sent him ahead of me, and I began to cow call. Immediatly a bull started to bugle, and after about 20 minutes the elk slowly moved off. My friend decided to follow the elk through the timber so I hiked to the top of the hill, where the timber quit, and just waited. After a while I heard a bull bugling on the opposite side of the timber that we had originally saw the bulls. I worked my way over towards him, and found myself with 80 yards of this bull. The only problem was that there was a couley in between us. When he disappeared over the ridge he was on, I set up my Elk Mountain Inc. decoy in the wide open and ran down the couley and made it half way up the other side. All the sudden there he was at 42.5 yards, broadside, and staring right over the top of me at the decoy. After ranging him, I drew my bow, got a solid anchor and shot right over the top of his back. The bull did a 180 spin and stopped, broadside, facing the other direction and still staring a hole through the decoy. I ranged the bull again and he was now 40 yards. Once again I drew my bow, got a solid anchor and again shot right over his back. I couldn't believe what was happening, and couldn't believe that I had just missed this bull two times. If that was not enough, the bull didn't even take a step after the second shot. So I once again ranged the bull and he was still 40 yards on the money. This time I decided to put my 40 yard pin on his brisket, and when I squeezed off the shot, wouldn't you know it, I hit him right in the brisket. I have no idea how my first two shots sailed high, and the third shot was dead on. I left the bull overnight, and found blood about 400 yards from where I shot him, and followed a minimal blood trail for another 400 yards. The bull never stopped or ever seemed to have slowed down. I shot my bow the next morning, and it was dead on at 40 yards. How is this possible? I shoot my bow religiously and am at a loss of words to explain what happened. Anyone ever had something like this happen to them?

Testimony :: Hon. Hillary Rodham Clinton
Member - Helsinki Commission
Ladies and Gentlemen, as we have seen in many contexts, the treatment of religious minorities is critical to ensuring the right to religious freedom that is inherent in a democracy. Today's briefing on the Turkish treatment of the Greek Orthodox Church highlights why we must continue to be vigilant on this issue.
Turkey, as a participating State of the Organization for Security and Cooperation for Europe, is required to meet commitments on religious liberty. In light of these commitments, the treatment of the Greek Orthodox Church, and in particular the School of Theology at Halki, is of concern. This university-level theological seminary, founded in 1844 to train Greek Orthodox clergy, educators and scholars, was closed in 1971 when Turkish authorities nationalized all private universities. Closure of this world-renowned facility deprived the Greek Orthodox Church in Turkey of a critical training site for future leaders. Yet, while private universities have since been allowed to reopen, seminaries remain closed. The 1989 Vienna Concluding Document commits the participating States to "allow the training of religious personnel in appropriate institutions". Therefore, we must question the basis for the continued closure of the School of Theology.
Another issue concerning the treatment of the Orthodox Christian minority in Turkey involves the ecumenical authority of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch. Unofficial Turkish government policy mandates that only Turkish citizens can hold church leadership positions. Yet, due to the closure of the Halki Seminary and the declining Greek population in Turkey, this has proven an increasingly difficult challenge. In response to this situation, the Patriarch has appointed several foreign clerics to positions on the Synod. This action should be acceptable since it is fully consistent with the Vienna Concluding Document, which declared that participating States will "respect the right of... religious communities to organize themselves according to their own hierarchical and institutional structure," as well as "select, appoint and replace their personnel in accordance with their respective requirements and standards".
Reopening the Greek Orthodox School of Theology and allowing the church the freedom to appoint its own personnel would send a strong signal that Turkey respects the rights of religious minority communities in keeping with its OSCE commitments.
I urge the Commission to continue to address these issues with Turkey.

South Sudan: Inter-communal fighting in Jonglei displaces 60,000

|Norwegian Refugee Council/Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (NRC/IDMC), South Sudan: Inter-communal fighting in Jonglei displaces 60,000, 13 January 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4f100a4f2.html [accessed 27 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Clashes between the Lou Nuer and Murle communities have displaced tens of thousands of civilians in Jonglei State and led United Nations agencies to launch a major humanitarian response. The violence displaced around 60,000 people between 23 December and 10 January. The government of South Sudan and the UN Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) are trying to reach remote areas of the bush where many have fled.
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that it needed funding to enable it to reach remote affected areas by air. UNMISS peacekeepers have been deployed to support the efforts of government forces, but UN Security Council (UNSC) members were also concerned that the mission's shortage of operational helicopters was limiting its ability to carry out its mandate. While calling on the warring communities to engage in reconciliation, the UNSC welcomed the efforts of the South Sudanese government to protect civilians and mediate a solution to the crisis.
In the last seven months of 2011 over 1,000 people died in cattle raids and counter raids between the groups, and some 63,000 people were displaced, according to reports by local authorities and assessment teams.
The UN and other agencies are also responding to internal displacements in Unity, Upper Nile and Jonglei State, and to the needs of tens of thousands of Sudanese refugees in South Sudan who have fled fighting north of the border since South Sudan declared independence. They have continued to assist around 110,000 people displaced within South Sudan during the crisis which broke out in Abyei in May.
The UN has warned that at least a million people are expected to be unable to meet their food needs in 2012, an increase of more than 100,000 from 2011, and that the situation of more than 3.6 million South Sudanese may worsen due to high food prices, continued displacements and insecurity.

Flowerz Game Overview
How does your garden grow?Why, with butterflies and trowels, and matching colors all in a row! Plant beautiful flowerz, set up matches and cascades, and keep planning ahead to make your garden flourish round after round.For an extra challenge and higher scores, try Expert Mode! Can you become a true master gardener?
1.Click on an empty space to plant the next flower in your queue. Build a row or column of at least three identical flowers, and they will be removed from the garden.
2.Some flowers need to be matched twice. Match the outer color first to make it disappear, then match the remaining color to remove the flower. Plan wisely to cause a cascade of matches.
3.Use a Butterfly to change a flower's color to the same as the Butterfly. Use a Trowel to move a flower from one space to another. The game ends once you run out of empty spaces!
Tips and Strategies
The Basics
· Use the flower queue to plan your garden. Keep an eye on what's coming up, and decide in advance where you want to put it. Planning your matches in advance is the key to big bonus points!
· Two-colored flowers need special planning. Don't match the outside color until you're sure you can match the remaining color soon afterwards. Flowers without a handy match can really clutter up your garden.
· Special pieces are often the secret to victory! Butterflies are the perfect solution to a flower that can't be matched, or a quick way to set up a big-bonus combo. Trowels can be absolutely priceless when a flower is blocking an important match; if you're lucky, they might even set up a cascade.
Bonus Scoring
· The more flowers you match in a single row or column, the more you score.
· Want even more points? Cause a cascade. If removing a matched set of flowers causes additional matches, your bonus is multiplied. This can really add up.
· Finally, if there are any empty spaces on the board when you finish a level, you'll get a bonus for each one, multiplied by the level number. You will earn more points if you're playing in Expert mode... but be warned: Expert mode is really tough!

When you sit down on it, it deflates so to speak, making a wispy wheezy whistling air sound....not something that is pleasant during a quiet massage. The custom craft works is firmer with no noise
This stool is awesome. It's light and the perfect height for any table setting! It fits inside your folding table or on the pouch on the outside of the carying bag.
I Love this chair!! It is so easy to take with me to a clients home.

I upgraded Zimbra OpenSource from 3.1.x to 4.0.3 on a Suse 9.3 system.
In the upgrade process I got two very serious error messages, but after first panic they could solved very easily.
The first problem was the message:
You appear to be installing packages on a platform different
than the platform for which they were built
This platform is UNKNOWN
Packages found: zimbra-core-4.0.3_GA_406.SuSEES9-20061016141055.i386.rpm
This may or may not work
Sleeping one night and I did it anyway - and it works!!
The second problem was after a long working of the upgrade process the message:
Fri Oct 20 19:14:26 2006: Migrating ldap data
Fri Oct 20 19:14:36 2006: Checking ldap status
Fri Oct 20 19:14:37 2006: Starting ldap
Fri Oct 20 19:14:44 2006: ldap startup failed with exit code 1
UPGRADE FAILED - exiting
Uuups - frustrated - ....
Why not try as zimbra user the command "zmcontrol start" ?
The next error message come up:
Starting ldap...Done.
sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0440, should be 0640
ERROR - failed to start slapd
Uuups - what - yes - change mode of /etc/sudoers to 0640 - zmcontrol start
Every thing works perfect !!!!

Update on Roku Streaming Stick
Also new smartphone app
Roku announced that its new Streaming Stick will sell for $99 (with a motion-sensitive remote), but some TV makers may bundle it for free.
A month ago we told you about the upcoming Roku Streaming stick—a device about the size of a thumb drive that fits into an MHL (mobile high-definition link) USB port on a compatible HDTV or other device (such as an AV receiver) to allow Roku services to play on the TV.
The concept sounds pretty good. No longer will you need the bulky (well, it's not that bulky) box on your shelf in order to get all the streaming audio and video content Roku offers. You don't, however save on the price. Currently the most expensive Roku player, the XS, is $99 and comes with Ethernet, a free full version of Angry Birds and a motion-control remote for playing games. The Roku XD does almost everything the XS does and costs $79. The entry-level Roku goes for $49.
The company also released a list of manufacturers offering TVs (or other products) that will be Roku Stick-compatible: Element Electronics, GlobalVue, Haier, Hitachi, Insignia, Mitsubishi, Onkyo and Integra, OPPO and Apex Digital. Roku's press release note that some companies may bundle the Stick, but no further info about that was available.
Notably absent from the partner list are major TV makers Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony and Sharp. It seems plausible that those major TV makers are more focused on promoting their own smart TV platform rather than supporting another brand's.
Here are the first models to be Stick-compatible:
· Apex Digital 32" LED model LE3243R, 39"LED model LE3943R, 42" LED model LE4243R and 46" LED model LE4643R
· Insignia, a Best Buy brand 46" model NS-46E480A13A and 55" model NS-55E480A13A
· Hitachi 42" models LE42S606 and LE42T506, 46" models LE46S606 and LE46T506; and 55" models LE55S606, LE55T506 and LE55U516
Still, I really like the idea. Roku's platform is proven, easy to use and popular. I have smart TVs in my house, with their own apps for Netflix and the like, but I still prefer to go to my Roku XD when I want to listen to Pandora or watch a movie on Amazon. To do this without an extra box, an extra remote and an extra HDMI cable is a benefit enough for me.
In addition to the Stick update, Roku has a few other announcement today—the company has added VUDU to it's video lineup and updated the device's smartphone app.
The app now lets you stream photos and music from your phone (or tablet) to your TV. The feature works with MP3, MP4, JPG and PNG files. Other updates to the app let you:
• Assign names to Roku players
• Instantly replay favorite movie moments
• Quickly add and remove channels
• Control and switch between multiple Roku players
• Enter text easily with the included keyboard feature
The app, of course, is free, and comes in handy when you can't find the original remote or need to type in a movie or artist.

Ex-IM loan to Ford may enhance supply chain
August 06, 2010
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im) has approved a $250 million working capital loan guarantee for Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan.
The loan facility will finance $3.1 billion of export sales for over 200,000 vehicles being sold to buyers in Canada and Mexico.
These exports represent 15 percent of Ford's 2009 production and the vehicles will be manufactured in plants located in Chicago, Illinois.; Dearborn and Wayne Michigan; Kansas City, Missouri; Louisville, Kentucky; and Avon Lake, Ohio. The Private Export Funding Corporation (PEFCO) will provide the funding for the revolving $250 million loan backed by Ex-Im's guarantee. The loan, fees and interest will be paid off in one year.
"Ex-Im's working capital loan guarantee enables both Ford and hundreds of its small business suppliers to maintain their competitiveness in the global marketplace," said Fred P. Hochberg, chairman and president of Ex-Im Bank. "This transaction alone will support thousands of high paying export-related American jobs by exporting superior goods and services to international buyers."
"Ford is committed to using our U.S. manufacturing plants as a growing source of exports to regions all over the world," said Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company president of the Americas. "Our partnership with Ex Im Bank highlights a public-private relationship that supports American jobs and the economy."
Models to be exported using the Ex-Im loan guarantee facility include the F-150 pickup, Explorer SUV, Focus, Escape, Expedition, E-Series Van, Taurus, and Lincoln MKS and Navigator. Of particular note is that the loan facility will support the export of the new, highly fuel-efficient crossover Ford Explorer SUV. It is scheduled to go into production at the Chicago assembly plant later this year. Ford's investment in the Chicago assembly plant is adding 1,200 new jobs there.
Ford reports that key suppliers to the Explorer alone are investing in new facilities and hiring for more than 600 jobs in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. According to Tony Brown, group vice president, Ford Global Purchasing, more than 650 companies in 41 states produce parts and components for the vehicles being exported. At the same time thousands of other indirect suppliers provide other services to Ford.
This is an innovative transaction and the first of its kind at Ex-Im Bank. The loan is formula-based and secured by vehicles in transit to Canada and Mexico. The flexibility of the formula-based loan facility will facilitate the continued growth of Ford's exports.

text: I'm using Zimbra connector v126.96.36.1997 with Outlook 2013 x64 in Windows 8. While things seem to sync properly, but the performance of Outlook is horrible. Outlook will stall for 30+ seconds when I click on an email or perform an action like delete. Outlook completely locks up and I can't even use the minimize buttons, let alone anything else in the program. Just curious if future versions of Zimbra connector address these performance issues? I'm happy to provide more information about my setup, if it helps.

I'm the first to admit I'm not that into sports other than the NBA, so I surprised myself by spending a big part of the weekend as a couch potato and found I'm pretty good at it. Watched UO and OSU football games, Timbers/Sounders soccer and even MLB. Glad to see Boston pull out the win against Detroit. Bit of a nostalgia trip for me remembering my dorm room at Boston U that was on the 12th floor and overlooked Fenway Park. With a good pair of binoculars I could listen on the radio and watch from my desk. I hear PEARL JAM cut a deal with Fox to use their songs during the World Series, so it looks like I'll be watching more baseball this year.

This is our current Zimbra version: Release 7.1.0_GA_3140.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition.

I also tried different open relay testing sites and i kept failing all test (Message received: Relays accepted by remote host)
Is there any way to disable open relay on Zimbra? if so... how do i do it? i read many threads without any solution.
Kind regards in advance for all your help and assistance

Recently a former classmate of mine lost her baby during birth. I don't have all the details, but from what I can piece together she went into labor, he came feet first, and they weren't able to get his head delivered in time. This was her first baby, and I know she was at a hospital. But I believe the hospital she would have been at, would have been a very small community hospital, that, I'm sure, would have little experience in this.
We all know that almost all breech babies born in a hospital are thru c-section. But, if a breech baby is born vaginally, would it be safer for them to be born at home with a qualified midwife?? I've heard countless stories of woman having breech homebirths with no complications. Many times because of the quick thinking of their midwives.
From everything I've heard vaginal delivery of a breech presentation is a lost art in the hospital setting. Is it possible that doctors don't have the knowledge to best assist in these births??
Anyway, this is just something that I've been thinking about since hearing her story. Again, I don't have all the facts. And I know that no matter where or who you have assisting you during your birth the unthinkable can and does happen. But it's raised a lot of questions in my mind. And I'd like to hear your thoughts.
