Well Ive spent all weekend playing with getting this app running and have came up with a few things you may want to add or think about in the documenation.
1. The hosts file should have TWO entries in it. The first line being the obvoius local localhost.localdomain entry and the second line should be mail.myserver.com
2. Im still really stumped as to how this should be setup behind a firewall. I have mine setup behind a firewall and cannot recieve mail because the proper DNS setup point to the external IP. Ive seen a few people setup dummy DNS servers locally to fix this but I have to think this is a real Kludge. I have setup many a mail server and the thought of tricking postfix via DNS just seems wrong to me. Are you guys planning on writing a Install for guys that like to firewall their gear? I would think that would be MOST enterprise guys out there....
3. MySQL. I dont mind the fact that the installer does the installation but what does it set the root password to? Also does changing it affect the software? I would like to add more applications other than Zimbra to this box and wonder how that will work.
4. Web Directories. I havent taken the time to see how its really setup here but again it would be nice If you could specify directoires and Ports during the install. Again I would like to load a single machine with the following apps
a. Zimbra
b. SugarCRM
c. Jooma CMS
d. Possibly Asterisk PBX & AMP
All of these together would make a hell of a bundle.
Just my thoughts.

I'm looking for a replacement for Outlook and really like what Zimbra *could* be, but I'm having problems getting it set up.
My wife had a question on the Facebook integration so I went to add Facebook but I can't get it to work. I'm certainly NOT new to computers (been developing on Windows for 17 years), but I can't get Zimbra to add a Facebook account. I've tried on two different computers and two different browsers and three different versions of Zimbra (7.2 to 7.14). I've searched the forums and I see a multiple posts with the same problem spanning most of 2012), so I've come to the conclusion it's a problem in Zimbra.
Which makes me wonder: do they actually care about Zimbra Desktop?
Is this a supported product? From what I've read, it seems the Social zimlet will be moved to user supported? (I take this as a good thing as they don't seem to care about fixing it.)
Does anyone know of any good email alternatives with the Social aspect? (I like Thunderbird but it seems to lack most of the social intagration.) I really like including LinkedIn, Digg, Twitter and Facebook along with the offline ability. I've given up on Zimbra a few times, but keep coming back because I can't find any other altnernatives.
Any help appreciated! (I wouldn't post if I didn't want to love the product.)

(Sports Network) - Jim Harbaugh was the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts
the last time the San Francisco 49ers reached the Super Bowl.
Known as "Captain Comeback" in his playing days for the ability to pluck a
team from the grips of defeat, Harbaugh has been up to his old tricks as head
coach of the 49ers.
Harbaugh, in his second year with the storied and five-time Super Bowl
champion 49ers, has the Bay area abuzz with confidence that another title is
headed back to northern California. A win Sunday over the Baltimore Ravens in
Super Bowl XLVII would be San Francisco's sixth, which would match the
Pittsburgh Steelers for the most in league history.
The 49ers are undefeated in their previous five Super Bowl appearances, the
last of which occurred in 1994, when Steve Young stepped out of the shadows of
the great Joe Montana in a rout of the San Diego Chargers.
George Seifert was the coach of the Niners in their last Super Bowl run and
worked briefly with Harbaugh later in his career. It was then Harbaugh got to
know current offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who was an assistant offensive
line coach. Harbaugh and Roman hit it off immediately, then worked together at
Stanford in 2009-10, and now have a chance to come out on top Sunday.
Harbaugh was asked about that experience when the team arrived in New Orleans.
"It was a real pleasure to work with George Seifert, to get a chance to know
him. I didn't get on the field that year," Harbaugh reflected. "One of the
great things was being able to meet Greg Roman, who was an assistant offensive
line coach at the time. I was just so impressed with his knowledge of football
and the kind of guy he was. We struck up a very good friendship within the
first couple weeks I was there. I made friends right off the bat. Later,
getting a chance to work with him was a real great thing for us."
Perhaps through osmosis Harbaugh was able to become a successful coach, having
dominated the college ranks with the Cardinal and earning a shot at the
professional level. Harbaugh has shown he knows how to win as evidenced by
back-to-back appearances in the NFC Championship game and now a trip to the
Big Easy for football's ultimate prize.
The Super Bowl is uncharted waters for Harbaugh and his players, but he
isn't worried that the novelty of the NFL's biggest stage will play a role in
how his team performs. A quote by 49ers safety Dashon Goldson a few weeks ago
resonated with Harbaugh, "We get fresher under pressure."
"That bodes well for us," Harbaugh said of Goldson's message.
Fans of the 49ers are ecstatic to have their team back in the forefront of NFL
lore. But sometimes teams get too tight or focus too much on the opposition it
throws players, coaches and the staff for a loop (i.e. Dick Vermeil in 1980).
Not this team, according to Harbaugh when questioned if he tried to keep a
normal routine before arriving in the French Quarter.
"Our team has been really focused on winning, focused on the unity of the
team. I think it's really genuine. I think it's the best focus on unity and
winning that I've ever seen or been a part of," Harbaugh noted. "This week,
we tried to make it like a normal week, being here on Sunday, in the city
starting Monday like it's a week leading up to a Sunday game is our plan."
Since a tie with the NFC West-rival St. Louis Rams back on Nov. 11, the 49ers
have ripped off wins in seven of their last nine games, including a 28-24
triumph over the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC title game. San Francisco stared
down a 17-0 hole and stuck with the gameplan, pounding running back Frank Gore
up the middle and allowing both quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the defense
to play their game. Can you guess what the 49ers will do Sunday? You got it,
the same troika will be unleashed.
Kaepernick said that pressure comes from lack of preparation and that Super
Bowl Sunday will not have that type of affect on him or his teammates. He said
it's just a matter of "going out there and performing physically."
Perhaps the biggest story of Harbaugh's second season was the demotion of
starting quarterback Alex Smith in favor of the stronger and more elusive
Kaepernick. Similar to what New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick
experienced years ago with Drew Bledsoe going down and Tom Brady becoming a
Hall of Fame quarterback, Harbaugh has no regrets on his QB switch.
"I thought it was a unique situation. Viewed it that way when it happened,"
Harbaugh said. "Two quarterbacks that were playing extremely well. Made the
decision that we thought was best for our team. We did what we thought would
give us the best chance to win games."
That statement draws comparison to Jim Koch, the co-founder and chairman of
the Boston Beer Company, who said he would rather put people in bad beer than
bad beer into people. Smith may have kept smiles on the faces of Niners fans,
but Kaepernick has taken the opportunity to re-ignite a city to new heights.
Several coaches wax poetic and say players won't lose their job to injury.
That's rubbish when winning is on the line. Smith, who led the 49ers to the
NFC title game a year ago and is known for safely managing a game, sustained a
concussion and has been holding a clipboard ever since. Harbaugh said that
Kaepernick's play "has been outstanding" since taking the reigns from Smith,
but kept the focus on the team and what it has accomplished playing as a unit.
Some may consider the quarterback switch by Harbaugh to be gutsy, which is a
term that coalesced his lengthy playing career. San Francisco fans can relate
to the athleticism of Kaepernick and the determination of Harbaugh after
watching Young evolve into a Hall of Famer for his running and passing skills,
and bringing a fifth Super Bowl title back to the Bay area. Harbaugh's known
for his passion, not agility, during his time in the NFL and was queried about
comparing himself as a player to Kaepernick.
"When Colin is running and the stride that he has, the gracefulness with his
stride, the ground that he covers, how fast and quick he is reminds me of
myself," Harbaugh said tongue in cheek. "Then I wake up. But when I dream and
have visions of how I run personally, it's the way Colin runs."
Harbaugh wasn't the most fleet of foot, though his coaching technique is on
the fast track to success. He never forced his ego or a my-way-or-the-highway
approach on any of his players, which is why the 49ers have thrived under him.
Harbaugh trusts his players and staff, and is getting quite acclimated with
pressure-filled situations.
With one gigantic obstacle left to hurdle, expect Harbaugh and the 49ers to
continue what enabled the franchise to reach a sixth Super Bowl and return to
elite status.

Africa the old-fashioned way
International | AIDS, famine, and war-and concern about radical Islam-prompt private humanitarians to step in where government charity fails
IN FEBRUARY BRUCE WILKINSON plans to step to the mike at the Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix to lay down a challenge to the largest pastors conference in U.S. history.
The author of the blockbuster bestseller, The Prayer of Jabez, has a modest proposal for at least 55,000 church leaders who are expected to attend the 2003 Promise Keepers event: Organize 100 church members to visit Africa for a one- to two-week missions trip. If one in five in the crowd takes up the challenge, Mr. Wilkinson believes he could change a continent.
In point of fact, Mr. Wilkinson did not become a household name with modest proposals. The creator of the Jabez phenomenon and founder of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries now believes he can leverage his celebrity status to mobilize 10,000 churches to send 1 million churchgoers to what many still regard as the Dark Continent. Within one- or two-week journeys, he believes, they will want to adopt the regions they visit and minister long-term to those in need.
"More people die [of] AIDS in South Africa every day than all the people that died in the Twin Towers," he told WORLD. "When Americans see the suffering in Africa, they will not be able to keep themselves from helping."
Mr. Wilkinson is not the first to have a vision for Africa. In recent years the consumptive pace of Africa's AIDS crisis has prompted other high-profile humanitarians-from U2's Bono to Franklin Graham-to use their public platforms and their money to try to cure the continent.
Private giving by Americans actually trumps government aid overseas. In 2001 the U.S. government spent about $20 billion in foreign relief aid and development. Private donors-church-based groups, volunteer organizations, foundations, corporations, and universities-gave $35 billion. Most foreign aid, whatever the source, winds up in Africa.
The continent's needs aren't news. But the numbers never fail to stagger. More than half the people of sub-Saharan Africa survive on less than a dollar a day. Forty percent suffer from serious malnutrition and food shortages. In Somalia 20 percent of children die before their fifth birthday. Southern Africa is in the throes of serious famine, with 12 million people at high risk of starvation. Another food crisis looms in Eritrea and Ethiopia. And that's not talking about AIDS.
Seventy percent of the world's AIDS deaths, or 20 million, have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa. Over 13 million children are orphans as a result. In some countries over 20 percent of the population is infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, most of them in the 15-49 age group.
What's less noted about Africa is the good news. West African oil and gas now supply almost 15 percent of U.S. energy needs. That could rise to 25 percent by 2005. Discoveries of new reserves have the petroleum industry looking harder at Africa, particularly as uncertainty increases about Middle East suppliers.
Military planners are looking more to Africa to bolster their own security. Gen. Tommy Franks, head of U.S. Central Command, visited Eritrea in March. Rumors float that he may soon select the Red Sea port of Assab as a new base of operations. More than 1,500 U.S. Marines are exercising in neighboring Djibouti, while 800 U.S. troops, including special forces, are based at Le Monier camp in Djibouti town as part of a task force for the Horn of Africa.
At the same time, the Bush administration is more concerned about Africa's own wars-both savage ethnic civil wars in places like Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, as well as Muslim-Christian conflicts in Sudan and Nigeria. Under the banner of war on terror, U.S. officials would like to halt the southward spread of radical Islam. "We've got to stop the wars," said Assistant Secretary of State Walter Kansteiner. "Africa will not develop if you have wars going, and we have got to assist in bringing some of those wars to closure."
Confessing Africa's strategic importance to the United States should mean also admitting that decades of government aid and intervention have not done enough to overcome widespread insecurity. Private entrepreneurs like Mr. Wilkinson are key. "Africa is not going to make it economically without international private sector involvement," he said.
Nonprofit groups have long known they could do good without government sponsorship. Whether it is the $24 billion Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or $200 gifts for cleft palate surgery, donors want their dollars to help the beleaguered, not a bureaucracy.
That is why well-endowed humanitarians like Mr. Wilkinson strike out on their own. The soft-spoken, silver-haired Bible teacher, at 55, says he saw suffering firsthand in Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa while financing production of a film, Beat the Drum, about a boy who loses his parents to AIDS. It convinced him that only Christians devoting themselves en masse to the starving and the sick-building new orphanages and supporting African churches-can succeed. It also convinced him to move there.
Earlier this year he, his wife Darlene, and 15-year-old daughter Jessica bought a home in Bryanston, just north of Johannesburg, South Africa. Their son David and his wife Angie have also moved to South Africa. The radical career change was not instant after he resigned in 2001 from the leadership of Walk Thru the Bible, the ministry he had launched 25 years ago. Then he intended to move to Hollywood to "expand his territory and enlarge his borders," by taking the Jabez philosophy to filmmaking.
The Wilkinsons plan to spend eight months of each year in South Africa running their new ministry training African pastors and lay leaders, and four months of each year in the United States recruiting more American pastors and mobilizing the financial resources needed to keep the project going. The ministry, dubbed Global Vision Resources, already has partnered with Promise Keepers and World Vision to that end.
Mr. Wilkinson is not the only evangelical leader to cash in a high-profile ministry for Africa. Rosemary Jensen, for 20 years the director of San Antonio-based Bible Study Fellowship International, left that post to start the Rafiki Foundation, a nonprofit ministry to African women and children. ("Rafiki" means "friend" in Swahili.) Mrs. Jensen told WORLD that she has always wanted to do only two things. "I want to teach people about God by teaching the Scriptures. And I want to help with the physical needs of women and children."
Africa was not a new idea for Mrs. Jensen and her husband Bob. As missionaries in Tanzania from 1957 to 1966, they became acquainted with then-Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta. When they set their sights on Africa again, the Kenyatta family helped Rafiki purchase 27 acres outside Nairobi for a children's center and vocational training school. That compound and another in Ghana are models for Rafiki centers springing up in seven other African nations, as well as India and Ecuador.
The centers aspire to be more like villages than orphanages. When complete, children will live 10 to a cottage with staff attendants to parent them. Many children are AIDS orphans, are suffering from malnutrition, or both. One week a baby found in a garbage bag arrives at the center in Ghana. Another week, a set of triplets is turned over by their mother because she cannot support them.
Food, medical care, and classical Christian education become the children's staples. Mrs. Jensen works hard to keep staff/child ratios low, and she is unembarrassed to tell potential donors the real costs: $100 a month to sponsor a child.
She is also unembarrassed to keep Christian teaching at the center of the work, with particulars spelled out in a seven-part belief statement (including Scripture references) and in website and promotional material. "We will take in Muslim children, but we will not make exceptions about what they are taught," she said. "They will receive a classical education based on Christian principles and they will study the Bible."
In the field she stands out, a white-haired white woman among a sea of usually young black faces. Back in the United States she is no less noticeable, fundraising in a lime green jacket covered in zebras. So far the program has sustained itself without the usual government grants. "We would take a grant from the U.S. government, as long as they did not tell us how to run our program," she said.
Dick Bransford has learned more of the ropes on government aid than he ever cared to, and is discovering that a big business plan isn't always essential to big charity. A surgeon for more than 20 years with Africa Inland Mission, Dr. Bransford in the last decade has put his skills to work in tent wards on the front lines during the Somalian war and in clinics in Sudan while bombs dropped.
After Somalia, he was content to return to the Africa Inland Mission hospital where he first came as a medical student in 1966. Bethany Crippled Childrens Center straddles a glade above the Rift Valley in Kijabe, outside Nairobi-the only hospital of its kind in a country with the population of California. Dr. Bransford directs orthopedics and neurosurgery. The center treats most of Kenya's hydrocephalus and spina bifida cases, in addition to burn injuries, polio, and other crippling diseases.
From that perch Dr. Bransford watched as nearby African wars began to hover at his doorstep. At Bethany, Sudanese, Somalian, and Ethiopian refugees from UN camps just inside Kenya's borders now vie for a table along with the usual stream of Kenyan patients. Despite vast resources and infrastructure, UN camps are going bankrupt as camp populations swell. Nearly two years ago several camps began transporting patients to Dr. Bransford on a weekly basis. War and radical Islam now leave their respective ailments in his ward: landmine wounds, amputations, and women mutilated by female circumcisions.
A normal day for Dr. Bransford begins at six o'clock with morning rounds. He returns to his home, a short climb in thin air, for breakfast with his family before beginning a full day of surgery. Mondays through Wednesdays he performs surgery, while Thursday and Friday are reserved for overseeing 13 mobile clinics. On the Tuesday WORLD visited, 12 patients by midmorning were recovering from cleft lip and cleft palate procedures. Eighteen refugees, mostly Somalis, from a UN camp at Dadaab had arrived the night before and were prepped or already recuperating from procedures. In his spare time Dr. Bransford tinkers in a prosthetics workshop. It more resembles a blacksmith shop for its primitive tools and implements, but technicians there probably make more leg braces than any place in Kenya. Dr. Bransford also takes time away to work in Sudan, where he teaches battlefield medicine and operates along the way.
When the UN announced a year ago that it could no longer cover the costs of refugee medical care at Bethany, Dr. Bransford decided to pay them himself. He diverted some of his own support through Africa Inland Mission, cajoled Christian relief groups in Sudan to help out, and pressed pharmaceuticals and medical colleagues in the United States. He lobbied Washington, but only the private sources helped in the end. "I could find the money. That was not the issue. It is cooperation from the bureaucracy that is so hard. In a short period of time these people will be out of our reach medically. We just have a window of opportunity here," he said.
The UN, never good at notifying him of refugees it was sending to Bethany, suddenly stopped sending them altogether in October, even though Dr. Bransford was covering all costs but transportation. When Dr. Bransford inquired, UN health coordinator Mohamed Qassim informed him that "medical referrals of all elective cases has [sic] been temporarily suspended."
Despite the hard challenges of working with the UN bureaucracy, Dr. Bransford says he is grateful everyday for the way refugees overrun his hospital. The refugee patients, he says, in many cases represent unreached people groups. "We have been praying for Somalis for decades. But when famine came, the door opened. We could not go into their territory, but with famine and war, they came out to us."
Treating them has given the surgeon fresh appreciation for the advantages of private-sector funding. "Know anyone at Lily?" he quizzes, certain that he can procure expensive medicine from the pharmaceutical giant faster than it will arrive through government channels. The smiles in the recovery room are daily reassurances that private charity can succeed, whether the vision begins in a stadium or a brimming surgery ward.

And, yes, thinking you are on a diet does work against you. Have you read all the fabulous foods Pingo and I are eating? We aren't on any diet, are we? We are eating what we want in measured portions that actually leave us satisfied both emotionally and physically.

GREAT, Already. You fill find it will get easier and easier. We tend to eat the same thing over and over again, and it will already be on your "list". It will show up and you just log it in. Like f. ex. you have coffee, cereal and a banana every day for breakfast, you just have to enter "coffee"
and the entire breakfast will show up.
Also, don't deprive yourself of anything. Yesterday DS stopped at Sonic for ice cream. I had a small Java Mocca Caramel. Ate 4 spoonfuls and that was enough to satisfy me. The rest went in the garbage, but better that than me.
Keep it up, and you will soon see results.

Pingo, it's so funny how you and I do the exact same things with this! I will either toss something (like ice cream) in the trash or pack it up for another day. If I'm home, I leave things out for later and get "free" (pre-entered) snacks out of it. I never ever just stuff anything in no matter how good it is if I've truly had enough, and "enough" really isn't that much anymore. I thought I ate a ton of that lobster dish with my SIL, but when I looked it up I really hadn't (in terms of my maintenance budget and how far under I am every other day). I'm so used to limiting pasta and such to 1/2 cup at a time that 2 whole cups seemed like an enormous portion! But, before LoseIt, I would have stuffed in at least double that - it was there and soooo yummy, and we both left it...none of the seafood, though, that was GONE! :)
see, allready, we are both proud of you! Ramping up is nothing to be ashamed of, but PROUD of. Every change in the right direction is awesome, and this is about each one of us and our health and well being, not a competition between us.

Anything happening here?
I am having success having bumped up my budget to 1800 and defining exercise to be zero calories so it doesn't subtract any. I'm exercising just as much, but now I'm using LoseIt to only make sure I eat 1800 a day. It's hard for me to evaluate too well, though, because it's been that time of the month since I made the change. So, in the next few days we'll see how it all shakes out. If I drop to below my lowest I'll know 1800 isn't enough, and if no change that means I've found what is at least closer to my budget than what I was eating.
What's going on with everyone else?

I hopped on the scale this morning after 10 days of not weighing in. 10.2 pounds down from my original weight. Got my 10 pound badge. Yea! And that was just by logging for the past 10 days. It shows how important it is. I knew, I was losing as my pants got looser and looser. Love this program, and will stay on it for another 10 pounds.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GREAT JOB, PINGO!!!!!! I know you'll sail right along to your next goal because the habits that got you this far will keep serving you well, and you have no risk of changing them. (LoseIt adjusts your budget as you lose weight so you won't hit that usual plateau.)
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/2/2013 11:54 AM EST
As for me, I've been logging faithfully and maintaining my weight since mid December so I'm confident that my daily ups and downs are non-fat related fluctuations due to water, bathroom, etc. So, another big step - I'm going to weigh in only on the first of every month. As you noted, Pingo, if we log we are in complete control, and I will continue to do so the rest of the year so I can't think of any reason for me to weigh in every day, now.
I'm enjoying logging very much - I'm up 175 for the week and have today and tomorrow to be down by that much to keep my daily average to budget. No problem!
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/2/2013 2:00 PM EST
Big step indeed. But I have no doubt, it will work for you - as long as you log. I was down another pound this morning. Probably just water retention from traveling. I am toying w/ the idea to just weigh in once a week now. Will see how it goes this week.
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/2/2013 4:47 PM EST
Pingo, I think you'll be totally safe weighing in once a week. Like you say, if you log 100% and have a proven track record of being accurate, the scale is practically irrelevant...it's all about the budget numbers.
Yup, eating out, traveling, etc. all makes you retain water. When you get back in your regular groove you'll even out and start dropping at your tried and true pattern.
I'm going shopping as soon as I go east for lunch.
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/4/2013 4:28 PM EST
weighing in everyday is good and bad............ I did yesterday and today and the exact same to the ounce. This is with a week of consistent bathroom time. Now last week hoped on and whoa I should have starved myself for a week at what it said. But I do know me and knew it was not the truth. Yesterday and today is my truth. Ole steady. Good and bad as we discussed. But I will get there.
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/4/2013 4:48 PM EST
Allready, bathroom habits are part of the non-fat weight story, but water is, too, and it fluctuates wildly given how much sodium, sugar, and water you've ingested.
Before official weigh ins, if you restrict salt and sugar (refined) and increase water for two days, on the morning of the third day post restroom you'll be your "real" weight. Between official weigh ins, rest assured that while my calories literally average to 1 calorie away from budget, my daily weight fluctuates by 2 or 3 lbs.
So, the moral of the story is that the numbers you can really trust is the calories, not the scale, in the short term. That's the main reason logging 100% is the key to success. You have to know what you are taking in a lot more than you need to know your daily weight.
and, just so no one is misled into thinking I'm amazing by not weighing in every day, which I'm not!!, I still get on the scale every day, I just don't officially log it into LoseIt except on the first of every month, now. Mostly because so many people are following my profile that I get "that's ok, don't worry" comments for temporary gains and "yay" comments for temporary losses. I'm frankly tired of giving the same "Thanks, but this is how maintenance goes" speech, lol.
oh, and I'm not losing, anymore. Seems 1850 (a feast every day!) works for me. LoseIt guessed 1650, clearly way too low for my activity level.

Got burned today - went to the diner planning to ice skate later, and Gracie messed up my plan by not knowing to AVOID my SKATES. So, there went that idea. oh, well, tomorrow is another day and it's net calories that matter, thank goodness.
Every morning I'm afraid my small clothes won't fit, but when I dare put them on they still do. I've got serious "issues," lol.

It is always a struggle. With IBS the bloat I can get (and I do often) hampers the fit of clothing as well. Oh and my weight.......... When having a bad spell I know what clothes to avoid as anything tight around waist makes it worse!
I am still struggling with the logging and losing. One day one day fellow losers:0
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/7/2013 7:10 AM EST
If you log you can rely on the calorie numbers and successfully ignore the scale which is reflecting bloating from IBS. The more you log the more in control phyically and emotionally you'll be. no judgement here, just saying that the benefit of logging 100% is probably far bigger than you might be imagining - it will go far beyond acheiving your weight goal. The emotional control it gives me is priceless because I get bloated, too, and if I can review my calorie situation and see I'm running at a few calories away from budget (on average) I can dismiss the 2 lb gain as water for sure. IBS is a biitch, but it doesn't have to derail you any more than my period used to.
I'm still logging everything and unofficially weighing in at 4 full pounds under my original target, and buying clothes that fit at this weight since I have no plans to gain those 4 pounds. Bought a pair of Woolrich jeans that fit like they were made for me, and a Spring jacket that does, too. I'm heading East today and will hit Nordstrom (sale only!!!) if I have time (Gracie).
had a migraine yesterday and hated to have to add nearly 500 calories of CRACKERS for dinner to the log, but, hey, that's life, right? I had room to spare so no harm done, but still, what a waste of good calories.
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/7/2013 8:46 AM EST
I know and need to do it.
Ok said it before but let today be the first day of me trying to log everyday and everything. I want to shed this what I consider excess weight!
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/8/2013 10:12 AM EST
You can do it!
I am 2.5 lbs heavier this morning than I was yesterday. But, due to the log I have no reason to freak out because I know that I haven't recently consumed 9000 calories over my budget (what it would take to gain 2.5 lbs of fat). In fact, I haven't eaten any over my budget so not one ounce of that gain is fat. Salty food (hotdog and chips to be exact) is the culprit and nothing to worry about.
That knowledge and the peace of mind it affords me is one big factor that keeps me logging faithfully. The other, of course, is the ease of maintaining my weight, but gettting off the emotional roller coaster is huge.
Re: Loseit!
posted at 2/10/2013 9:22 PM EST
Had 1500 calories for dinner tonight! Youza, I feel kinda sick. At least I'm still at a deficit for the week by 500. I'll be retaining water tomorrow - I think I ate 3 days worth of salt in an hour, lol.

360 Crate Engine Buildup & Dyno - Crate ExpectationsWritten by on March 1, 2003 Mopar's 380-Horse Magnum Crate... Under The Gun
Chrysler's 380hp crate small-block has become a popular choice for those looking to pop the lid on that big blue box and pull out a stout small-block ready to turn a number. With a rated output of 380 horsepower, and a remarkably flat, and fat, torque curve, the 380/360 has gained recognition as a strong performer. We've seen numerous crate-equipped A-Bodies deep in the 12s with box-stock crates, and in anyone's book, that's fast enough to make the grade as a musclecar engine. The Mopar small-block crates have justly earned a reputation as quality engines at a bargain price, and with reportedly the lowest warranty return rates in the industry, Mopar Performance has this combo down pat.
Based on the production Magnum 360, the 380-horse crate is built with all-new parts, not the usual rebuild. Inside the bottom end you'll find pump-gas-friendly 9:1 pistons, a hydraulic roller cam, and a double-roller drive. The roller is a fairly stout stick, with a long .288 intake, .292 exhaust duration, and .501/.513 lift-much more than any production small-block. The specs don't hide the fact that this cam will have some bark, so if the lope, rumble, and top-end power aren't the goal, consider backing off to the milder 360/300hp version.
Topping the short-block is a set of Mopar's now-familiar high-swirl closed-chamber Magnum cylinder heads. The 1.925-inch intake valves are slightly smaller than those of the early 340, while the 1.625-inch exhaust valves are slightly larger. As with all Magnum engines, 1.6:1 rockers are standard. This is a tenth of a ratio point higher than the traditional 1.5:1 small-block rockers of old.
The major benefit of the Magnum heads over the old 340/360 castings is the nicer form in the exhaust port. The old small-block Mopar heads had a definite flow-inhibiting area in the most critical portion of the exhaust port floor, right as the port departed from the valve seat. Also restricting the exhaust flow was a big kink in the port roof. The Magnum exhaust port is much improved. On the intake side, the port window is narrow through the pushrod area, owing to the larger clearance hole used in conjunction with the hydraulic roller cam's valvetrain. Toward the valve, the Magnum head's ports take a nice form. The most significant departure from the Mopar small-block heads of old is the combustion-chamber design. The best features of the old heads were retained, including the valve angle and favorable opening axis to the centerline of the bore. The chamber has been redesigned to take advantage of the better combustion characteristic available from a modern closed-quench chamber. This chamber design alone should produce a worthy increase in output over the old-style open chamber heads.
The Magnum crates are shipped with a large cross-section single-plane M-1 aluminum intake manifold, which appears to be a nice design, utilizing a modern sweeping runner. Bosses are cast into the intake, allowing for a multi-port fuel-injection system, although a standard four-barrel carburetor is the induction of choice for most installations. The Magnum crate is fitted with a center-sump oil pan, which is compatible with traditional Mopar body styles. Rounding out the package, the crate comes equipped with MP cast-aluminum valve covers, a damper, the dipstick and tube, as well as the water pump. A complete Mopar Performance electronic ignition system and thermostat housing are included. Add a carb, headers, and accessories, and it's ready to run.
Having heard good things about the 380hp crate and seen them in action, we were interested in tossing one on the dyno and examining the output characteristics for ourselves. We contacted a local Mopar Performance dealer, Glendora Dodge, to see if they had any crate engines lying around wanting to kick up some dust. It just so happened they were holding one for customer delivery. We asked them to contact the customer and propose a dyno evaluation and tune of the crate, on our dime. Turns out, the customer, Tom Mociler, had some time before his '68 Dart project was ready for the new powerplant. With the blessing of Mopar Performance's big cheese, David Hakim (regarding Tom's warranty concerns), we were on.
We dutifully loaded the big blue box and headed out to our favored haunt for such hijinx, Westech Performance Group, for a run on the SuperFlow dyno. Mopar Performance claims 380-plus horsepower from this crate-not too far off the magic 400 number-so the usual pre-test jaw boning and haggling began. Just how much was in it? The engine's owner, Tom, had supplied a new 750 Mighty Demon carb, which we figured would have a favorable influence on output. He also supplied a case of Mobil 1 synthetic lube for a post break-in oil change, which is usually worth a couple of odd ponies. We had all day to run our tuning loops, with no real parts changing planned, so we'd have the luxury of time to tune it to a razor's edge. We prelubed the engine, stabbed the distributor, bolted on a set of 1 5/8-inch dyno headers feeding into a pair of 3-inch Flowmaster mufflers, hit the ignition, and the crate fired immediately. We dialed the timing to 34 degrees total for a baseline setting.
Dyno operator Steve Brule set the machinery to run through an automated break-in cycle, and the engine sounded sweet. It idled down easily to a steady 850 rpm, although the long-duration cam made its presence known with about 6.5 to 7 inches of vacuum. Left alone to monitor the dyno console, I goosed the throttle and found that the 360 responded sharply. Anticipation started to take hold, and we had to sneak a peek. Then, we set the load dial to 3,800 rpm and gave the control handle a tug. The raw torque counter shot up to the 375 ft-lb range, and it was obvious this thing was going to have some oats! Mr. Brule returned to the controls, and we ran a few static pulls to confirm that the fuel mixture was in the zone. It showed to be in a safe range with the box-stock Demon settings.
Showtime! We were ready for the first real pull. The controls were set for a short pull from 3,500-5,100 rpm, and we had our first numbers: 421.9 ft-lbs at 4,200 rpm, 377 hp at 5,100, and still climbing at the top of the pull. We had no doubt it would find the rated 380 number, and more.
The numbers from the dyno's readout indicated we were a little lean. We next went through a jetting loop, running several pulls and finding best power under the test conditions, stepping up to 78 primary and 87 secondary jets from the Demon's stock jetting of 75/84. With the jetting dialed in, still at 34 degrees of timing, the engine handily exceeded the rated output with 432.4 ft-lb at 4,100 rpm and 394 hp at 5,300 rpm. We were knocking on 400 hp and moved on to the timing loop. It didn't take long to find the optimal timing to be 36 degrees total, and we now cracked over the magic numbers-401 hp at 5,400 rpm and 437.7 ft-lb at 4,100 rpm. With that, we were fairly satisfied and confirmed the jetting through a second fuel-tuning loop, finding that the same 78/87 combo that worked with 34 degrees was still on the money with the timing change.
We still had the change to synthetic oil, so the sump was drained and we put in a fresh fill and filter. Several pulls later, we were still at 401 hp and a little puzzled. We checked the dyno readout carefully and noted that the oil pressure peaked at 70 psi at 5,500 rpm, and actually dropped to 68.5 psi by the end of the pull. This could have been caused by a slight aeration of the oil. A check of the stick showed the oil was slightly overfilled, and 1/2 quart was drained. The next pull showed 439.5 ft-lb at 4,100 rpm and 409 hp at 5,400 rpm. That 1/2 quart of oil was costing 8 hp! Windage was no doubt a factor, but the fluctuation in oil pressure, though slight at only a couple psi, makes us suspect that some slight aeration had occurred, which hurts performance with hydraulic lifters. We've seen it before-in some cases more obvious and dramatic.
With that, we felt that we had taken this package to its full potential. The Magnum 380 (409?) crate, with a high-end carb, tuning, and oil, was making 29 hp over its base rating. To us, that's impressive. It's no wonder those crate-equipped A-Bodies move as hard as they do. We had some time left and tried to further tune the combo with a spacer under the Demon carb. First, a 1-inch open spacer was installed, and after a few runs it was clear that it was not going to add to the combo. Power was no better anywhere in the curve, the peaks were down, and low-end took a hit. Next we substituted a four-hole 1-inch spacer, and there was a hair more torque at the bottom of the curve, but it cost power up top to the tune of 5 hp. Neither spacer complemented the combo, suggesting that the plenum volume and layout of the M-1 is well matched as-is to the rest of the combo.
We had a good time testing the 380-horse crate. The engine did what it was supposed to, delivering the power promised and then some. Open the box, bolt on a decent carb and a set of headers, and rest assured, it will make its rating or more with only a little tuning. Dial it in and there can be 400-plus horsepower on tap.
That's enough to show 'em you're serious.

Complete from oil pan to intake, the crate just needs accessories, pulleys, carb, headers, plugs and wires, and it's ready to fire. The 360 Magnum has a specific balance factor, different from the earlier 360s. The damper comes with it, but the flywheel, flexplate, or converter does not. When ordering, be sure to specify Magnum balance.What distinguishes the Magnum from the older LA engines are the heads, the greatest difference being the departure from the open-chamber design to a modern quench-style closed chamber.Another significant change is the move to pedestal mount rockers in place of the shaft-mount system found in earlier designs. The Magnums use a higher 1.6:1 rather than the traditional 1.5:1, delivering more lift to the valve for a given cam profile.We mounted the crate to Westech's dyno to see what it is capable of doing. Before the distributor went in, we primed the engine using a Mopar Performance priming shaft, PN P4286800.For pulleys, we ran this unknown brand of underdrive setup that we swiped from one of Car Craft editor Matt King's engines, which he foolishly left unguarded.The 380-horse crate is fitted with a Mopar Performance M-1 single-plane intake-a nice piece that proved exceptionally well-matched to the combo. Note the unique Magnum bolt angle, which is different from the earlier LA engines.To top the intake, a Mighty Demon 750 mechanical secondary carb was used-a good choice for the 380-horse crate 360. The Mighty Demon has many of the same features as a Race Demon, including a radiused air entry and replaceable air bleeds. The fuel-delivery curve was fine, needing only minor jetting to get it right on target, and in this application, it didn't need additional trimming of the fuel curve with the air bleeds.We began with the timing set at 34 degrees total advance. Right off the bat the crate delivered 377 hp and was still on its way up at the end of a 5,100 rpm pull.
We spent half-dozen pulls dialing in the carb mixture with jet changes until we had the optimal combination of 78/87. Carb calibrations alone had the power cranked up to a healthy 394 hp. The 400 hp pull was so close we could taste it. Looking for more, we began twisting the distributor and found that 36 degrees was clearly the best, and it was enough to crack the 400 hp barrier with 401 measured ponies.With the engine broken-in to our satisfaction, the original oil was dumped to make way for a new filter and some fresh slick stuff. We had some Mobil 1 synthetic on hand, which is usually worth more power through reduced friction. Keeping with tradition, the original filter was cut open, and with no wayward shrapnel to be seen, we were good to go. Eventually, power was up to 409 hp.

State worker raises kicking in
Already among the best compensated state workers in the nation, tens of thousands of California employees are set to receive pay raises on Monday, along with an end to unpaid furlough days and an increase in the state's contributions to their health care.
The state worker increases total more than $480 million in the spending plan signed this week by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The 2 percent to 5 percent pay increases, negotiated by the previous administration, will be added to the top of each pay range for about 80 percent of the workforce. Others would receive similar hikes after reaching that level of seniority for a year.
Raises account for about $420 million of the added cost, with roughly $60 million going to health and dental care. Because of the way the state has accounted for furlough days, the cost of restoring those paid hours could not be calculated.
California state employees already have the highest average salary at $70,777, according to a study last fall by the nonpartisan Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto. That compares with the national average of $54,976 in 2011, according to the study.
When was your last raise?
2012-2013 20% (107)
2010-2011 12% (63)
2008-2009 18% (95)
2006-2007 21% (110)
Earlier 30% (157)
532 total votes.
Trailing the Golden State were New Jersey at $69,302, Connecticut at $67,828 and New York at $67,350. The authors note that California ranks near the middle for state employee pay if it's taken as a percentage of state personal income.
State workers get raises periodically based on years of service, but they last had an across-the-board raise in 2006-07. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger entered contracts that backloaded raises until this summer, banking on an improving economy.
Government workers are due for another raise more quickly this time.
Brown and lawmakers are working to finalize a new three-year pact to take effect one year from now with the union representing about half of the 180,000 state workers.
Provisions on the table would increase compensation costs by hundreds of millions of dollars. The tentative agreement with the Service Employees International Union Local 1000 calls for a 4.5 percent across-the-board raise — all of it coming in the final two years. Negotiations continue with many of the state's remaining bargaining units.
In calling for an increase, SEIU invoked its support of Brown's Proposition 30 sales and income tax increases approved by voters in November. The measure, which temporarily hiked the sales tax a quarter cent on the dollar and boosted income taxes on the wealthy on a sliding scale, was sold as a fix for school budgets, but freed up billions of dollars of state money previously mandated to be spent on schools.
Critics say raises for state employees were not what was promised with the ballot measure. Republican Senate leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, said putting more money toward reforming education and further chipping away at state debt should have been the first priority. "Unfortunately, that did not happen," Huff said.
The Brown administration says it recognizes that through cutbacks and hard work state employees have played a vital role in stabilizing the state's finances over the past five years. Officials described the tentative pact as prudent because it phases in the pay increases no sooner than next year based on the state's economic recovery.
In addressing the agreement, SEIU Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker said the union accomplished all four of its top priorities: across-the-board raises, no new furloughs or paid-leave days, preserving health benefit premiums and protecting retirement security.
Under the proposed deal, If California meets certain revenue targets, state workers would receive a 2 percent raise on July 1, 2014 and a 2.5 percent increase on July 1, 2015. The entire 4.5 percent increase would be effective July 1, 2015 if the targets are not met.

Herd's Florida pipeline intact
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The South Florida recruiting hotbed region seems to get more crowded every year for football coaches, but Doc Holliday still gets his haul come the first Wednesday in February.
This time around, it's a bit smaller than usual. Then again, his class is smaller than usual, about 20 signees - a function of a small departing senior class in 2012.
The Marshall coach will unveil his fourth recruiting class today, and it's expected that up to five prospects from the Interstate 95 corridor from Fort Pierce southward to Miami.
If they become/remain eligible, they will join about 15 players on MU's current roster from that area, plus about 13 more from everywhere else in the Sunshine State. Holliday is also expected to sign a running back from Gibsonton, Fla., south of Tampa, and an "athlete" from Davenport, Fla., near the I-4 corridor between Orlando and Tampa.
The state is rich in talent, but also pretty crowded with coaches recruiting and major-college coaches nearby. Consider this: When Holliday established his beachhead as a West Virginia assistant three decades ago, only Florida, Florida State and "The U" of Miami played Division I-A.
South Florida wasn't playing football and Central Florida was transitioning into Division II - not yet I-AA, but II. Florida Atlantic had just started athletics and Florida International was a non-football playing D-II program nicknamed the "Sunblazers."
The landscape has changed right before Holliday's veteran eyes. USF and UCF are now Big East rivals in football, and FAU and FIU are suddenly in Conference USA - and both road teams on the Thundering Herd's 2013 schedule.
In a way, the whole concept of reporting a south Florida prospect making an "unofficial" visit is almost laughable. In a few cases, that may have involved a walk down the street.
Of course, those aforementioned schools, Marshall included, are hardly the only ones who know their way to the Florida peninsula. Nonetheless, Holliday and his recruiting coordinator, Belle Glade native JuJuan Seider, will be pleased with their slice of football paradise, which includes:
For prospects due to come out of high school, the Herd is signing the two Ohio linemen, a wide receiver from Memphis, Tenn., a defensive back from Myrtle Beach, S.C., and an offensive lineman from Georgia. But there are older, more mature prospects due to sign.
There are two four-star recruits expected from Virginia's Fork Union Military Academy (linebacker Stefan Houston, receiver Angelo Jean-Louis) and another from Atlanta Sports Academy (receiver/athlete Deontay McManus). One is to sign out of Georgia Military College and another from an occasional MU source, the California junior college circuit. Two other juco imports, defensive end Arnold Blackmon and defensive back Taj Letman, signed in December and are attending classes.
Those commitments have more or less impressed the recruiting-oriented websites. One, 247 Sports, ranks the Herd atop 20 schools in various states of Conference USA membership - exiting, holding over or entering.
Southern Mississippi has surged ahead in the Rivals list, which puts MU fourth in the old C-USA lineup. Scout, which ranks the new C-USA teams minus FAU and Middle Tennessee, has the Herd third behind East Carolina and Southern Miss.
When the list comes out today, it is expected to include defensive back Corey Tindal and Kent Turene, who enrolled at Marshall in January 2012 as "props" and have just become eligible.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Mykkah Herner, MA, CCP, Compensation Consultant at PayScale
It's the end of the year! I'm wrapping up a bunch of client
projects, getting them all set to launch their brand new compensation plans in
the New Year. As I'm doing so, I'm realizing how helpful the tried and true New
Years' Resolutions are when thinking about best practices for managing
compensation plans. Below are some of my favorites.

In this edition of 5 for Friday, our last in 2012, it seemed appropriate to take a look back at the big trends that influenced HR this past year and will continue their impact on us during this coming year.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Having worked for
both male and female bosses, it is no secret that the sexes see work,
priorities, and life differently. My male boss would often cut out of the
office at 4:30 p.m. while a female boss would call me at 8 p.m. on a
weekend. Some of this is work style,
but science has proven that men think, lead and react differently than their
female counterparts. As an HR professional who likely has a female boss, it
can help to know it isn't just you.
Evan Rodd, PayScale
Many of us have dreamed of rock stardom—climbing on stage
in front of an audience, and watching thousands of people sing along with us as
we aggressively strum our guitar like Angus Young. There's nothing like that
level of recognition to get your adrenaline pumping, especially from a stadium
full of people who are able to come together under the common bond of your
awesome abilities.
This week, in our weekly review of the blogosphere, we focus on Santa and all things holiday.
Dan Walter, Performensation
In recent presentations I
have heard several compensation professionals from the UK refer to their "Shareholder Spring" of 2012. The reference is to the
raising of voices from shareholders. While we all love a little hyperbole, I
believe that their Shareholder Spring was barely a fling. The UK's Shareholder
Spring led to a lot of posturing, but as of yet, the player and rules of the
game are still familiar.

Technology is rapidly changing
the face of HR. It impacts the way businesses are organized and is a big
influence on how people define work. With more pressure on becoming mobile, social,
automated, cloud-based and overall tech friendly, Human Resources must stay on
top of the changing trends and demonstrate value. No longer is the Human Resources department
where you go to just get benefits information, but it's the department that
drives the value of the company through recruitment and employee retention.

The times are always changing, but we uncovered some interesting tidbits about exactly how things are changing for 2013 in our weekly review of the blogosphere. Here are our top five picks from the week:
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Every year on the first work day of January, your co-workers
return to their desks with a new plan to transform themselves via their New
Year's Resolution. Maybe they are mixing
health shakes in the breakroom in place of their lunches, walking through the
halls (or up and down the stairs) in lieu of their typical breaks to sneak in
some exercise or madly chewing nicotine replacement gum to kick the smoking
habit. Whatever their goal might be,
their intentions are good. But, this
year, instead of (yet again) resolving for your health, consider the best New
Year's resolution of all: resolve to
find more time.
Evan Rodd, PayScale.com
As many businesses gravitate towards a stronger software
presence, the demand for tech-savvy employees is growing larger every day.
It can be challenging enough to secure customers, especially
if software is an imperative aspect of your services. When that software needs some
TLC, you want the best and brightest in the business. Top companies like Google
and Apple offer the incentives and company culture that many techies gravitate
towards. When you are trying to stay afloat in a competitive tech marketplace,
what can you do to secure top tier techies?
Editors note: this is a new feature in our blog that you'll find every Friday. Look for our five favorite stories, infographics, or blog articles of the week.
Stock Options are a great place to start talking about equity compensation.
ISOs are "appreciation-only" vehicles, meaning they have direct value to
employees only if the stock price appreciates above the initial grant price.
Other common appreciation-only instruments include NQSOs and SARs (to be
covered in future posts). If you understand ISOs, you can easily understand
other appreciation instruments.
The term HR algorithms was all the rage when Google
announced it was turning to a mathematically sound and logical approach to
analyze HR data. Google is renowned for
blazing the trail of innovation, and if any company was going to crack the code
of better understanding and even predicting employee trends and turnover, it
was Google. The internet search
engine giant announced it was inputting employee reviews, promotion
histories and pay and other similar data into a mathematical algorithm in an
effort to mitigate "brain drain," the disengaged employee and turnover. That was May 2009.
Although President Barack Obama has been re-elected, our country continues to be divided amid our economic recovery and job growth. With a 7.9 percent unemployment rate in October, Obama is tackling the highest jobless rate of any president in the postwar era.
However, things do seem to be looking up in the 2013 unemployment forecast. The Labor Department recently reported the nation added 171,000 positions on net in October, with more jobs than initially estimated in August and September. According to the New York Times, economists are hopeful that post-election policies in Congress will address fiscal tightening that may increase job and output growth.
During the 2012 election, voters in Colorado and Washington
were faced with an interesting decision: Should recreational marijuana use be
Many states continue to legalize medical marijuana, while others
are considering similar measures for recreational use. Currently, 18 states have
laws regarding the legal consumption of marijuana.

We want to gain a better understanding of what companies like yours are doing around salaries, compensation planning, the talent wars and even the changing world of work and technology. Each year, PayScale invites over 100,000 HR professionals and business leaders to participate in our Compensation Best Practices Survey to identify upcoming pay trends and help businesses stay ahead of the curve. This time around we're excited to have teamed up with Inc. Magazine to uncover important compensation trends for 2013.

Have you ever worked at a place where you've had two job
titles? Internally my title is Communication Department Lead III. Publically, I'm the Public Information
Officer. What the heck?
This scenario isn't uncommon in the corporate world. Having both an external, public title along
with an internal one is common. Yes,
I know it's completely crazy which is why you are reading this now. Organizational charts and pay scales demand
structure and consistency. We are rooted
in processes and planning which for companies is a good thing. Marketing and branding outside of the
organization have different requirements. The necessity of both often results in one employee having two titles.
show that while employee rewards programs are popular by employers, they are
not as appealing to the employees for which they were created in the first
place. Employee perks and healthcare
benefits are popular lures among employees, but salary compensation still
reigns supreme as the benefit of choice.
Money is (and probably always will be) the number one way to recruit,
retain and hire qualified job seekers. But, that doesn't mean rewards programs should go by the wayside. A comprehensive total rewards package is
essential, but half the battle is letting the employees know the rewards are
out there. Communication is the key.
A few years ago, I went to a presentation where the former
President of SHRM, Sue Meisinger
was speaking to a group of HR professionals. When it was time for questions, I
asked, "What do you wish HR professionals would stop doing?" Her priceless response was, "Would you please stop asking for your seat at
the table." She went on to explain that people don't get to the executive table by asking. Either they show up and no one stops them, or they
are needed there because their input is invaluable. She commented
that HR needs to stop asking and start doing. Even better, HR needs to become
so influential that their input as the expert on talent management strategy is also
invaluable. So, why are so many people asking instead of doing? Because they
don't do anything that warrants being there. Every HR
person I've ever met has plenty of work to do. The problem is not the volume of work
being done but the prioritization of work.
