HEC Montréal: Deployment of a Large-Scale Mail Installation
After putting the 11 servers for the new infrastructure in place, one of the remaining challenges was to migrate all users from the old infrastructure to the new one. About 35,500 users, 82,500 mailboxes and hundreds of thousands of messages (35GB of mail) had to be migrated. Furthermore, redirection scripts and vacation messages also had to be converted, and information such as preferences from the previous Webmail system had to be kept intact. In order to do this, we created a set of Perl scripts to take care of the entire migration in a way that would appear seamless for the users:
LDAP Init: populates the new LDAP server (based on OpenLDAP) using the values from the previous LDAP server (based on Netscape iPlanet). Included attributes are e-mail addresses and aliases, special folders and signature preferences for Webmail.
Create Users: creates all user accounts about to be migrated.
Load Sieve: creates Sieve scripts and uploads them to the mailstore by reading attributes from the previous LDAP server. Sieve scripts are used for automatic redirections and vacation messages.
Copy Mailboxes: copies all mailboxes for the users being migrated. All message flags are kept intact. The IMAP protocol is used a lot in this script. This script also updates the mailHost attribute on both LDAP servers so the mails are routed to the correct destination mailboxes.
Update Mailboxes: run the morning after the migration to move the remaining (if any) messages in the users' mailboxes. Mail could have been stuck in the queue of the SMTP servers, before the users' mailHost attributes were changed.
To minimize service interruptions for the users, we ran the scripts in the order listed once classes were finished at the end of the day. Few messages were rejected during the import process; those that were simply were retried by the source SMTP servers. In total, four nights were required to migrate all the information. Running the scripts took from four to seven hours, depending on the number of users located on each source server and the execution speed, which was mainly limited by the performance of the old AIX servers.
After the migration, we extensively monitored all services in order to discover any problems. As expected, we didn't have many. We mainly tuned the minimum preforks of Cyrus processes as well as their respective maximum children. We also tuned the SMTP servers for the default process limits and preforks for AMaViS. We also used temporary LDAP queries during the migration, so we had to replace them with optimized ones once the migration finished.
During a typical day, HEC Montréal receives over 125,000 e-mails, and 60% to 80% of the traffic is composed of UBEs. The internal SMTP servers also manage thousands of messages sent by users, distribution lists or other systems. About 300,000 POP3 connections (from 5,500 different users) and 60,000 IMAP connections (from 5,000 different users) are initiated every day on the main Cyrus server. Peaks of 225 concurrent IMAP connections and 50 concurrent POP3 connections frequently are encountered.
As mentioned earlier, the anti-UBE policies in place have proven to be effective. During the first week after the migration, the two mail exchangers blocked more than 600,000 unsolicited bulk e-mails. The week after, spammers were less aggressive and the systems blocked over a quarter of a million messages. The most effective policy is the RBL checks, followed by the content filtering checks (using SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor) and, finally, the header and MIME header checks.
To extract those statistics, we installed Spamity, which parses mail logs from the four Postfix servers and updates a PostgreSQL database running on the test server. Thereafter, users or administrators can examine the mail that was blocked by anti-UBE policies by using a simple Web browser. Users also can perform searches for specific e-mail addresses or domain names and filter the results by anti-UBE policies.
As you have seen in this article, migrating from a proprietary solution to an open-source solution was a challenge. According to Emmanuel Vigne, Information Systems Director at HEC Montréal:
The key business benefits are huge, as we nearly eliminated UBE and greatly enhanced the architecture of our mail infrastructure. We moved from an architecture where all services were offered by four servers to an architecture where the services are offered by many servers. That allows us to minimize any potential outage and scale as the number of users grow. In case of a failure, only one specific service is affected, contrary to the situation before where thousands of users could no longer use the e-mail service in case of a single server failure.
Putting this new infrastructure in place allowed us to contribute to the Open Source community by developing a set of patches to correct bugs and/or add features to most components we installed.
As with any other system, this one will evolve over time. Interesting anti-UBE technologies are emerging, such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF) [see page 50] and Spamhaus Exploits Block List (XBL), and a new stable version of Cyrus is available with NNTP and mailbox annotations support. In addition, Postfix 2.1 is coming along nicely and should offer excellent connection/rate control with its new anvil server.
Finally, as this article was being written, a mirroring solution was being deployed for the SAN. This should offer storage redundancy and eliminate the single potential point of failure in the current infrastructure.

Honestly way to complicated of a fix
I would just move Google apps and let them take care of the mail. It will be a lot cheaper and more advanced instead of running squirrel mail.
Shortcomings in the setup
This is a really interesting infrastructure. But I see a few shortcomings in it. Feel free to comment on them.
1. Round-robin DNS is being used for load-balancing of webmail servers. If one of the servers goes down, connections to it will still be made and will result in failure for the end-user. A better way for load-balancing webmail HTTP connections is to probably use some HTTP proxy.
2. There is no load-balancing of IMAP servers. This might pose a limitation if the size of the university and the IMAP usage increases considerably.
3. Single point of failure of the storage device which is already mentioned in the article.
4. I am not sure if split brain condition (http://linux-ha.org/wiki/Split_Brain) is handled for LDAP & IMAP servers. If not, this may lead to data corruption and inconsistencies.
Sun Java Enterprise Mail Serv
Sun Java Enterprise Mail Server runs pretty well on RedHat9. It would be much easier to migrite to Sun Mail Server ver 6.
Easy != better
But it would result in a very inferior email infrastructure. There is also the fact that it would be a lot more expensive, far less customizable, far less maintenable, unsafe (you don't know what is inside), and you would have to pay the Sun maintenance fees.
You better target Microsoft Exchange users on your next propaganda run for Sun. Nobody that knows what he is doing would drop a Cyrus IMAPd + OpenLDAP setup for a Sun Mail Server setup on technical merits.

Until recently, IBM's Power Platform was looked upon as being the system that hosted IBM's flavor of UNIX and proprietary operating system called IBM i. These servers often are found in medium-size businesses running ERP, CRM and financials for on-premise customers. By enabling the Power platform to run the Linux OS, IBM now has positioned Power to be the platform of choice for those already running Linux that are facing scalability issues, especially customers looking at analytics, big data or cloud computing.
Running Linux on IBM's Power hardware offers some obvious benefits, including improved processing speed and memory bandwidth, inherent security, and simpler deployment and management. But if you look beyond the impressive architecture, you'll also find an open ecosystem that has given rise to a strong, innovative community, as well as an inventory of system and network management applications that really help leverage the benefits offered by running Linux on Power.Get the Guide

Huma Qureshi has an unusual approach towards her movie roles - she equates them with "Monday tests in school".
"For me, each role is like a test... how you have Monday tests in your school... that's how I approach my characters," she told IANS and added that she is lucky to have worked with experienced directors.
After gangster drama "Gangs of Wasseypur" and forthcoming romantic comedy "Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana", Huma will be seen in an action avatar in Nikhil Advani's next.
She is also acting in Vishal Bhardwaj's supernatural thriller "Ek Thi Daayan".
"I consider myself a greedy person when it comes to good food and good movies. I want to do them all. I want to do lots of movies in different genres with different co-actors and scripts," added the actress.
Directed by Sameer Sharma, "Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana" revolves around a family recipe and has a strong Punjabi flavour -- but playing a typical small town Punjabi girl was not easy for her.
"I am from Delhi and so, if anyone is from Delhi, you automatically become a Punjabi. But it was difficult as I have never been to Punjab in my life. It was a different experience. Most of the people on set were Punjabi. I was nervous and wanted to get everything right, but my director and co-actors really helped me," she said.
"We have tried not to make caricatures out of characters... have tried to keep them real. We have tried to tell an entertaining story, which is light and shows a slice of life," she added.
Huma feels that the film's concept stands a strong chance to be accepted by the audience because "India is a country defined by food. We have food for birthdays, deaths. It's an important part of our day-to-day life".

TTT Practice this morning with my teammates: Rocket Man, Skeletor, and the Incredible Hulk. It's a strong team of dependable guys. If we can keep things smooth (and not get dropped by the Hulk , we should do well at State's next weekend. We're having Hulk extend his pulls quite a bit to keep him calmed down. There is another team registered that is really strong and experienced. We'll have to really nail it to beat them.

Saturday and Sunday were somewhat BS for me. On Saturday, i set up the trainer and did a simulated track session since I was supported MEA in the afternoon at the track for her women's team pursuit practice. She raced on Sunday and I did some endurance riding while she was on the course. Monday was an hour endurance ride.
Today, I was back at the track for some 8 lap motor paced intervals 3 behind the motor, 500 meters by myself and 3 1/2 behind the motor. I did a couple of flying one laps and a warm down.
It is supposed to be hot today but when I got up this AM it was 51 degrees at the house. It was cool at the track and got up to 70 when I left.

Here is a belated extended weekend training report:
Ex has my training focused on the 5K and 10K TT efforts used in the Senior Games, so I can get qualified for the party at Jet's house next year. The state TTT and ITT the next two Sundays have become afterthoughts.
After Saturday's TTT practice, I spent the rest of the day rearranging rooms with the wife. Another child off to college meant shifting things around, and now we have a weight room! Well, according to the youngest, what we have is a room with some weights in it. Sometime during that, the dog got something he shouldn't have, and I made an unfortunate choice when deciding how to get it from him. Apparently it was so special it shut off his training, as normally he will drop things when cued. Anyway, the result was some broken skin, which I immediately washed, cleansed with H2O2 and treated with Neosporin. Seemingly no big deal - on with the day, which I was using to buy the time I wanted for Sunday.
Sunday morning I did trial runs of the 5K and 10K, on a nice flat stretch, with a moderate tailwind out; headwind back. I was close to my target power for the 5K, which I did in 7:28. After 15' of recovery, I tackled the 10K, and was way off the power target for the 15:35 it took. I spent the rest of the day working on marginal gains. I put ceramic bearings (went with VCRCbike.com) in my Zipps, and mounted the wheelbuilder.com covers for the first time.
Woke up in the middle of the night with my hand hurting like mad. Examining it Monday morning, there was some swelling that we decided was likely from the trauma.
Holiday ride was 2x10's, then 30' of top gear strength work. I did them with the racing wheels on, to check things out and break in the new bearings. I then spent the day, and I do mean all of it, swapping cockpits on the TT bike. The 3T Aura that came on the bike is nice, but has limited adjust-ability. I needed to be able to get the armrest pads back a bit, maybe widen them about 1cm, and eliminate some wrist stress that has been causing tingling and numbness in my left pinkie finger. When I got it done, the aero shifter didn't feel right, so I stopped where I was before tuning it up, deciding to let the wrench at the shop, who I know well and is excellent, finish things.
Woke up in the middle of the night with the hand throbbing, and with chills.
Knowing I'd be making a doctor's appointment, I did my training ride before work, rather than on the way to work. It was more power work (highest gear efforts to failure), then some criss-cross type 1' intervals. I was clearly weakened from lack of sleep and the hand stuff.
Saw the doctor at 11:30 yesterday, after dropping my bike off at the shop. Got a shot of heavy duty antibiotic, a prescription, a referral to a hand surgeon, and instructions that if it got worse before I could see the surgeon, I should head immediately to an emergency room. "This is kind of an emergency, Jim. You didn't think to maybe go to an urgent care clinic?" "Um... nope. It was fine for a day and a half, then... um." Anyway, so far no emergency room visit, as it isn't getting worse, and I think it's getting better. So I did an hour of pace work on the TT bike this morning (had gotten the bike back that afternoon), mostly up on the base bars because the armrests shifted to where I couldn't use them. Looks like they'll need more than the prescribed torque the wrench used. I also found some configuration changes that needed to be made, which I did this afternoon, taking advantage of my convalescence shortened work day.
I see the surgeon finally tomorrow afternoon (that's what is considered an emergency appt. in our healthcare environment, huh?) , and am hopefull it will merely be confirmation that I'm winning the battle with the infection and don't need to be admitted for surgery and IV antibiotics!
TallWife has reminded me I no longer have a brain, but my experience, since I started really training, is that workouts actually improve my immune system response and help me to fight off infections. As far as my handling of the dog - well, that was just totally brainless!

Monday found my neck and trapezius muscles were sore so we took the tandem out for a 25+ mi. ride to our favorite bike-friendly cafe for lunch, then home through the orchards; i.e., the long way.
c_gallagh was feeling frisky and pushed the pace a bit; I stood on a slight incline and felt my adductors start cramping. We immediately dialed it back. I was surprised at the odd places in which I was sore.
Tuesday I was sore in triceps/wrist muscles, as well as various core muscles, so I took the day off. Today was multiple meetings, learning how to bid on a HUD home -- and then bidding on it -- and then reading the CA Assoc. of REALTORS (R) economic forecast (since as my local AOR president-elect I sit on the CAR Board of Directors). Two glasses of wine have eased the pain in the brain from the reading, and I'll be back on the bike tomorrow afternoon/evening, depending how many offers I need to write.

Get well soon, AZT. You are going to qualify...don't you worry about it.
Hope the hand is healing for you AZTR. I've found that my colds and infections are reduced but once I do get one the symptoms are much worse. Earlier this summer I got a blister on the side of my finger while pulling vinyl covered cable while working at the velodrome. A blister is no big deal but a few days later my finger swelled up, my back and knees got stiff and on the bike high end performance was lacking. That resulted in a quick trip to the doctor for antibiotics.
Good luck at the Senior Games. Are you doing the RR's too? When the TT's are really starting to put you in the pain cave and you want to back off the gas, think about the party you might miss.
Unfortunately, I will not be racing the TT at the National Senior Games as my finishes were 6th and 7th cough, cough

I'm back on track.
Tuesday's ride was excellent - not in so far as performance or hitting targets went, but as in how good I felt. Well, I did ride well, too. Warmup went well, normally, then it was increase the efforts and try to stay with my G/F Donna (who is a "retired" crit gal and coach), which I DID. I was making 370 watts for over a mile at 26 MPH to stay with her. That effort kind of blew me up, but that was intended, for two reasons - first, could I do it? - yes; second - how was the recovery? - two minutes from 157 BPM to under 100 BPM. And, I felt good and ready for more after the recovery. And I did more - the whole ride (40 miles all told), including the climb up Barloy Canyon Road (no snaking, just straight up averaging 7 MPH), and then the field sprint at the end of the ride.
Yesterday I went to spin class with renewed vigor (that sounds awfully Shakespearean). I did hit all of the targets, did all of the efforts, and kept the friction high and the cadence reasonable. OTS efforts, even high cadence, went very, very well. Heart rate recovery was under two minutes, but I don't consider that valid because the max BPM was only 132. However, I did warm up faster than I had been, and my recoveries WERE quicker.
I contacted my coach yesterday (and I sent him the .csv file from the Tuesday PT ride) and said "let's start again September 18 (or somewhere in there). I WILL be ready!"
Everyone - good luck this weekend!!!!!!

Don't forget that I age up to the Precambrian Division, you are still in Jurrasic. There will be two of my team mates in your race that can work with you. Secret teams may be the ticket.
Our 5k TT ended up being 3.3 miles due to the organizer not wanting to move the finish line equipment and an intersection that would have required a 90 degree turn about 100 meters into the race.

Hi, I will say one thing about Sara and AzTR, both of you are incredibly driven. In either circumstance, I would have used either trauma as a good reason for a lot of R&R.

Racer Ex..."Don't know if the shop is under new ownership. If not feel free to shoplift stuff and break bottles in his parking lot."
AZT, When we did the Sr Games ITT, the organizers designed a "stupid", "silly", "Tourista" course. I cannot find a word that makes sense. We have an excellent TT course that has a great out and back on a two lane highway with wide bike lanes. The Sr. Games organizers set up four lanes at the start on the same road. For the 10K, there were two laps. So there was a normal turnaround for the first 2.5K. When the racer came back to the start, he was faced with a really narrow turnaround constrained by steel fence like the kind used to contain crowds in bike races. So many racers slowed too much so that they would not hit the barriers.
Take away... You may have a different course but cone turnaround technique and acceleration was at a premium at ours. I remember the course in LA was equally quirky in other ways. Part of the problem is they run both the 5k and 10k on the same course.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle
Cat: Killer
Thanks for the heads up, Hermes. I have no idea what to expect with the courses, but at least the 5K and 10K are on different days. I'm hoping that whomover is running things has USAC experience, and doesn't do anything inherently stupid or dangerous. Ex has had me doing things like starting at 40rpm in the 53-11, then doing a max effort to failure. Took me 6 reps over two workouts to finally understand what he meant by 'failure' (basically, falling over as you scream in agony), but I'm finally doing that drill properly. Ay, Carumba! But that, gym work, and other drills including turnarounds, should have me accelerating decently. Thinking about it, I may fare pretty well if they do a 'tourista' course.
Either way, I'm looking forward to it. While I'm new to the TT thing, I've been focusing on it, improving my TT fitness, getting the bike up to snuff, refining position, etc. Sunday is the state TTT, with the ITT the week after. Competition will be fierce. TT's seem to really suit us old guys, and I can't believe some of the times guys throw down. 3 weeks after the ITT I'll be in Vegas for Jet-Party qualification.
As TallWife keeps asking: "So this is the off-season?"
"If you're riding less than 18 MPH up a 2% grade please tell people Coggan is coaching you."
The Sr Games course, organizers and refs, starters, holders (if you have one) and participants are a total crap shoot and out of your control so forget about it. You will beat all the touristas in the TTs but it depends on how many USA cycling racing TT specialists show up in your age group and how well you do against them. The same is true in the mass start events. Being positive, I think you have a great chance to win a spot for nationals. The key is to race safe and do not let the touristas crash you out and do no get distracted by the lack of USCF cycling organization and participation.
The older racers keep getting faster. Ex and his tandem partner would have placed 3rd at nationals in the 110+ which seems wrong. My teammate (age 66) and his partner (won nationals last year) bettered Ex's tandem time by 3 seconds and they were beat by a team from New Mexico by 2 minutes. I want some New Mexico water.

Yep... there will be a lot of touristas, and no doubt a few really fast folks. Just depends on who shows up, and, especially in the crit length 'road races', what the courses look like and how the races pan out. I'm pretty sure I'll be encouraged to get the heck off the front (and out of danger) and stay there.
"If you're riding less than 18 MPH up a 2% grade please tell people Coggan is coaching you."
AZTR, looking at past NV results qualifying may not be too difficult in your division. One thing to keep in mind in the RR is that you are not a threat to NV residents. If you place in the top 4 it doesn't count for one of their's. I suggest you make friends with strong looking NV guys. If you go off the front by your self they shouldn't care. However the touristas will chase and others will come to. For some the main reason for racing is for next year, others want medals. The RR's in OH we're chess matches with two teams well represented and all others at a huge disadvantage. You can do well having a secret team.

My today was riding the cross bike in overgear for 1.5 hrs. Tomorrows ride is 2 hrs Z2 on the MTB for skills. We are supposed to get 1-2 inches of rain through tomorrow so I changed up my ride. I rode the cross bike in overhear for 2 hrs on a new flowing MTB trail in Strongsville. It takes some good driving over the roots and rocks with a cross bike since there is no suspension. The ride went well the first 1/2 hr then the thunder storms began. I decided to continue riding, due in part to Velomanti Rule #9 "riding in bad weather makes you badass. Period." on a cross bike, on a MTB trail, in the pouring rain makes me double badassed.... At least in AJ land.

Thanks for the tips, AJ. I'll study past results for clues to who I should watch or work with, and do the usual scoping of the competition. You know, highlight anyone with striped sleeves, cross out anyone with hairy legs. And I'll make sure they all know I'm out-of-state. I have to beat them, but they don't have to beat me. That does sort of spell breakaway, doesn't it? I'm hoping a NV guy that comes to Arizona a lot races, as he'd make a great breakaway partner. But any Cali hotshots listening - please stay the heck away!

Lockout Schmockout For a moment the other week, it looked like hockey would be back soon. The NHL's offer of a 50/50 split and a condensed 82 game schedule stunned the hockey world and offered hope that for all the posturing a deal to save the sport wasn't terribly unreachable. The sentiment lasted for perhaps half a day until details emerged that the NHL's definition of 50/50 was built from a conservative definition of what money was being split, and the NHLPA's counterproposals were quickly rejected and just like that we were back to square one. It's nice to see the framework of a 50/50 deal finally floating around but because the two sides can't agree on the dollar figure that will be split, we've now lost November and the Winter Classic is hanging in the balance. Any hopes for a quick and tidy settlement have been dashed and the panic button, by the side of any true Canucks fan, should be thoughtfully fingered right now. We're in the abyss and who knows when or where the exit is. In other words, it's a good time to get invested in what should be a fantastic basketball season, invest in a Steve Nash Lakers jersey, and try to forget about hockey until it finally shows back up in your life one random blissful day. For the players, lockouts are a weird thing. For many, it's akin to taking a year off and backpacking around Europe to get new experiences and find themselves or perhaps just stay at home and finally no longer have to TiVo Ellen. It can be fun if you let it. If there was NHL hockey, Kassian would be up with the big club – (Photo by Jeff Vinnick/NHLI/Vancouver Canucks) Let's look at some Canucks who are benefiting from the lockout which, like the infamous song, may never end. 1. Zack Kassian The first round of the 2003 entry draft is lauded as one of the deepest ever, unless you're a Rangers or Oilers fan. Most of that success can be traced back to the fact that the 2004 lockout forced the young talent to spend a year ripping up the AHL instead of trying to tread water in their first year in the big leagues. The confidence and experienced afforded to many of these players allowed them to step into the league a year later and kickstart their NHL careers. Enter Zack Kassian. If there was NHL hockey, Kassian would be up with the big club with a short leash and limited ice time. Instead, he's beasting in the AHL right now, leading the Wolves in scoring and drawing the most praise of any player. He is, for lack of a better comparison, Bertuzzi-ing the competition. He's also fighting, something he refused to do last year in order to build his game as more than a grinding enforcer. Get excited for when Kassian next suits up in a Canucks jersey, he should look nothing like the player that was scratched by the end of the playoffs last year. 2. Eddie Lack Cory Schneider still hasn't assumed the mantle of the Canucks number one goaltender due to the pesky fact Roberto Luongo is still hanging around and already Eddie Lack is ready to usurp, or possibly uslurp him, as the man between the pipes. Between his stellar play and breakout interviews with Wyatt Arndtt's fake season, Lack has a leg up on the other two Canucks goalies simply by being able to play hockey this fall. Luongo's maintained a strong social media presence that may just turn perception on him, allowing Schneider to be forgotten goalie like a…step-child of dubious hair colour. 3/4. Jason Garrison/Ryan Kesler Because the NHL is seemingly built on contract loopholes, those players that are injured during the lockout are still receiving their full pay. It means Jason Garrison and Ryan Kesler are nursing injuries worth a couple paycheques at least and surely not working hard to come back ahead of the timetable. It also takes the pressure off both the players and the team to endure the start of the season without them in the lineup. Both have something to prove when they next step on the ice; Garrison that he's worth the money thrown at him and Kesler that he's ready to be an effective player again and shed the diving label. Neither would have helped by overcoming the rust of injuries off the bat in October or November. Instead, they'll rehab nice and easy all the while collecting some bonus money their teammates aren't. The summer dragged on with no real movement on the Roberto Luongo situation 5. Roberto Luongo The summer dragged on with no real movement on the Roberto Luongo situation as he proved to be a difficult asset to deal. He has value, but when you factor in his double-edged contract and double-edged playoff performances it was difficult to peg. So the lockout not only gives Mike Gillis more time to negotiate what may be his greatest test as General Manager of the Canucks but also has the ability to change the dynamics of the deal. Under the NHL proposal tabled the other week, all contracts longer than five years will have the cap hit applied to the team regardless if the player is still playing. If the player is traded so is his cap hit, but if he retires the hit reverts back to his original team. It means that if Luongo leaves Vancouver and retires years later that $5.3mill cap hit is sticking on Vancouver and not where ever Luongo ends up. Is this a good thing? It does grease the wheels for a Luongo trade as it lessens the burden of the team taking him on and certainly it's a winning proposition for Luongo. For the Canucks, it could strengthen the return but if Luongo doesn't run out that entire contract the Canucks will be eating a lot of salary for a retired player who hasn't been on the roster in years. Does Luongo owe the Canucks to honour the entire contract if he gets traded? Of course not, which makes it a ticking time bomb. CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE CANUCKS CLUBHOUSE TODAY AT NWSPORTSBEAT!

Rioblush™ Carboxy Therapy is a safe, minimally-invasive, all natural medical procedure, which produces dramatic and profound improvements to the skin. It is clinically proven to improve skin texture, contour and firmness.
It is used to treat stretch marks, scars, puffy eyes, dark circles under the eyes and skin tightening to the face, such as the jowls, lines around the eyes, nose and mouth.
Carbon Dioxide therapy can also be used to treat localized deposits of fat in the chin, arms, knees, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back and hip areas.
The introduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the dermis results in vasodilation, as the body attempts to correct what it considers an imbalance in the O2/CO2 balance. The increased blood flow creates a surge of oxygen and nutrients, which fosters cell and collagen restoration and reduction of localized fat. Recent studies suggest that CO2 introduction also stimulates localized production of venous growth factor (VFG), which leads to a long-term improvement in blood flow and tissue quality.
The technique is performed by using a micro needle to inject CO2 under the skin. The CO2 dilates the blood vessels improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Improved circulation helps to eliminate the build up of fluid between cells.
Injection at more superficial levels increases circulation resulting in skin rejuvenation, tissue remodeling and improved skin elasticity. Injection at deeper levels into the fatty tissue damages and kills fat cells. The result is thicker, firmer subcutaneous tissue with better texture and fewer fat cells.

text: I'm relativley new to biking, and have just purchased a Fuji Touring bike from a local bike shop. It came with a Shimano Deore rear derailluer. Since day one it will intermittently want to shift out of a gear, and sometimes actually shift to a different gear, the LBS has replace the end tube shifter and just recently the rear derailluer to a Tiagra. The problem happens very randomly I can ride 15 miles no prob. then it goes wonky, then smooths out and it might be 5 or 20 miles and happens again. it only happpens in the higher gers on the cassett (7th and 8th 90% of the time) It has never happend where the LBS has seen it, and he has been extremly obliging to me. Has anyone had or heard of this problem? Soultions? I bought the bike for health reasons, it is to the point where I dont even want to ride. When the bike is not wonky I LOVE it.

Democratic Primary runoffs were held Tuesday in Philadelphia, Newton, and Hickory.
In Philadelphia, former Neshoba County supervisor James Young led incumbent Mayor Rayburn Waddell by a 1,000 to 882 vote margin in unofficial numbers Tuesday. The clerk said there are about 140 absentee ballots that have not been tabulated.

Supercross: Shawnee resident Trey Canard will race at Cowboys Stadium
Trey Canard of Shawnee will be racing his Honda motorcycle inside Cowboys Stadium on Saturday night, when the Monster Energy Supercross Series rolls into Arlington, Texas.
Canard, who missed most of last season with a broken back, returned to the series with a second-place finish in the first race of the season. He led until the last lap.
"I really did not know what to expect after such a long lay off," said Canard. "I just wanted to come out and get the feel of racing again. To go out there and lead so many laps was great.
"I know I finished second, but to me, it still feels like a win."
Canard has since had five more top-five finishes. He enters Saturday's 7 p.m. race — the seventh of the season — tied for third place in the national standings with defending champion Ryan Villopoto. Ten more races are scheduled after the Cowboys Stadium stop.
"I have struggled a bit in the last two races with my starts" Canard said. "With all the talent out there on the track you really have to gate well, because it is really tough to come from the back."
The Cowboys Stadium event makes Canard feel closer to home.
"I am excited for the chance to be racing in front of my friends and family," Canard said. "It gives me a boost, knowing they are in the stands cheering for me. I would like nothing better than to get my first win of this season in front of them."
Canard won the 2011 event at Cowboys Stadium.

Manufacturer: CWD (View all products by CWD)
Model: Close Contact Saddle (View all Close Contact Saddle reviews)
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: i bought this saddle used on a used saddle site. i paid 2,000 dollars and it was in perfect condition. you can have someone come to you barn and personally measure you and your horse and have a new saddle made for you for about 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.
Likes: This saddle is a saddle of the best quality EVER!!! its is my favorite saddle by far. I have wasted my money on other "name brand" french saddles and all had not pleased me like my cwd i love it so much! it fits me and my horse perfectly and the leather is so soft. This saddle is extremely comfy and gives you an excellent grip and lets you have a relaxed seat.
Dislikes: the billets are very short but all i had to do was buy a bigger girth and other than that this is the best saddle i have ever sat on.
Quality: this saddle is made of the highest quality leather. Plus there not made to order you must first call CWD and arrange for someone to measure you and your horse and then they make the perfect saddle for you. These saddles are not sold in ANY stores you have to contact them yourself or go on their website. Sometimes they will have a vendors booth at the big "AA" rated shows. But that's only sometimes however its worth it because the saddle is of the best quality and never have i had a problem with mine.
Summary: you cant go wrong if you purchase this saddle. I have a few sites where you can get used CWD's if you'd like e-mail me and i will gladly give them to you

Even with leak stopped, Gulf's pain may last years
Published: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 11:42 p.m.
CHAUVIN — The slicks on the surface will disappear quickly if the cap on BP's blown oil well holds. But the oil will remain in the water, on beaches and in marshes, and in the lives of Gulf Coast residents like Jason Blanchard for years.
Up to 184.3 million gallons of crude has already spilled. Months from now, it could show up as far west as Corpus Christi, Texas, or as far east as North Carolina's Outer Banks. Judging by a comparably sized 1979 spill off Mexico's coast, tar balls and patties could keep washing ashore for decades.
And so in Chauvin, Blanchard is not expecting to return to his pre-oil-spill days anytime soon, if ever. The sixth-generation professional fisherman had just started making a living off speckled trout and redfish. Now he's part of the massive effort to mop up the spill.
"The oil gets in the water and the marshes and it stays for a while. I hope it don't last that long. I want to get back to fishing," the tanned, sunbleached 32-year-old said.
Blanchard received his captain's license just a week before the oil-rig explosion that set off the spill in April. He plans to fish again for a living, and if he can't do it in the bayous that have nourished rich seafood and a unique culture, he'll move 300 miles away to Toledo Bend Reservoir along the Louisiana-Texas line.
"I don't want to move. I love it down here," Blanchard said. "But my plans are, if they're going to destroy everything and prevent us from doing what we love to do, my plan is to move away from here."
BP is testing a new cap that has so far stopped the flow. By mid-August, it hopes to kill the well.
Once that happens, the recovery begins, but it will take several large storms to break up the oil already in the water, said Tony Wood, director of the National Spill Control School at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
"It could show up in Miami next spring," he said. "It is likely that the heavier oils ... will continue to wash in for several years."
Wes Tunnell is a biologist who has studied the impacts of the 1979 Ixtoc oil spill off Mexico's coast for the Harte Research Institute at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. He said some of the mangrove swamps in the Yucatan Peninsula, an ecosystem similar to the one found off the Louisiana Gulf Coast, are only 80 percent recovered from that spill, and tar can still be found in some areas.
The latest spill carries its own set of unknowns, Tunnell said, including plumes being found deep in the water column and dispersants applied directly at the wellbore, a practice never done before.
Blanchard said BP workers and government officials have told him the impact will last at least two years, so instead of fishing he intends to keep working on spill-related jobs for now. He has been overseeing containment efforts by a company that has a contract with BP, and has been shuttling the Coast Guard and media to oiled areas.
Terrebonne Parish is rife with signs of a cleanup effort preparing for a long haul. The Coast Guard's command center has about 800 workers and is an active construction site.
The parking lot is being expanded. There are so many people in town that some are living in offshore "motels" planted on barges.
BP has opened 35 claims centers along the Gulf Coast. In Chauvin, the office is a trailer-like structure. Out front is BP's sign, the green-and-yellow sun glaring at the main road. Residents say BP has leased marinas and camp barges. Some of the contracts are for months, others for years, residents say.
BP has declined to comment on its long-term logistical plans.
For the Coast Guard, it "could be months. Could be years," said Nathan Knapp, deputy incident commander for operations at the Houma command post.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is expecting to track the oil in all its forms — from slicks to patties to tar balls — "until there's no productive oil to pick up," said Steve Lehmann, a scientific support coordinator for the federal agency.
Unless the well starts leaking again, the slicks will rapidly disappear, possibly within a week. NOAA will then rely less on satellite images and turn more to low-flying aircraft to search for tar balls and patties, which can last for years, Lehmann said.
Ixtoc tar still sometimes rolls up in Texas and the Yucatan, Tunnell said, though sandy beaches in south Texas recovered to pre-spill conditions within about three years. Research at the time showed that 50 to 80 percent of the beach populations of different organisms were lost at the height of that 140 million-gallon spill.
In Yucatan, the fishermen said the oysters and clams never came back, Tunnell said. Most fishermen said the fish returned within a few years.
In Alaska's Prince William Sound, the herring population never recovered from the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, after 11 million of gallons of oil spewed out of a tanker.
The recovery from the BP spill, and how long it will take, is a prime topic of conversation in Chauvin, home to 3,200 people and dusty roads lined with fishing cabins, marinas and Cajun restaurants. There's almost nothing else to do except talk. The spill has kept most people from working.
So they gather in Lapeyrouse's Grocery on La. 56, owned by Blanchard's grandparents.
The store sells cigarettes — the price carefully printed on index cards — as well as fishing nets, fishing rods, tackle, work gloves, small boxes of toothpaste. A fuel line hose kit for $22.79; a mosquito headnet for $6.99; a frog grabber for $16.72.
Behind the shop, on oyster shell-covered banks, Terry Lapeyrouse buys shrimp from the fishermen, cleans them, boils them and sells them for national distribution.
"That's all we do is fish," said Michael Blanchard, Jason's 53-year-old father. "I've been fishing for 37 years."
For weeks now, Blanchard's $100,000 shrimp boat has been docked in the bayou, its tied-up nets resembling the wings of a dejected angel.
Wearing his white, mud-encrusted fishing boots with his jeans tucked inside, he runs his hand over the woodwork in the cabin. He built it himself, to save money.
"I ain't leaving," he insists. "My son wants to move to Toledo Bend. ... It terrifies me. It takes my heart away. It really does."
"We grew up fishing, swimming, bonfires, crabbing, everything in the water," said Nathan Thibodeaux, whose great-great-great grandfather planted sugar cane, fished and ran casinos along the coast in the 19th century.
"They taking everything away from us, everything we look forward to," the 45-year-old said. "This is for us like remembering your first dance."
Those who want to stay aren't sure how they'll get by.
"Live on love, that's what we gonna do, live on love," Michelle Blanchard, Michael's wife, says with an ironic laugh.
They want to get involved with the cleanup, but they haven't gotten contracts with BP. They can't sell the fishing nets they build anymore. They can do a little welding, but even the shipbuilding yards will close if there's no fishing.
"What plans you gonna make?" said 56-year-old Kenneth Theriot. "I've been doing this since I was 15 years old. I have a seventh-grade education. I'm good at what I do, but I don't know anything else."
Jason Blanchard, meanwhile, has work, but he may be losing his hometown, and a way of life that has been part of his family for generations.
"I don't want to move away," Blanchard says. "But if I can't fish, who's going to pay for me to stay?"

text: I noticed a new model Travel Trac Trainer on PerfBike that apparently uses a centrifugal clutch resistance device. Does anyone know how well it would work and noise level. I think that Blackburn has a similar model. I'd like to find one that's a bit quieter than my mag unit and hear too much about fluid trainers leaking. Thanks!

WOW. Skinny Brad/Beard Brad.
WOW. Skinny Brad/Beard Brad.
Free on Playstation Plus as of today. Already playing through it 3 years ago on 360 but with RE6 being a huge bust, and having a friend with PS+ to play with, I'm really looking forward to playing through it again.
Beard Shoemaker!
Brad needs to get that beard back.
"Bring back Bearded Brad. "
Holy shit, Brad has a beard in this video! Awesome stuff.
Bring back Bearded Brad.
12 hrs? I got through it in 9
This game is incredible
I cannot get over the fact the Brad once had a beard...Awesome!
" @Godlyawesomeguy said:" RIP to video reviews. obviously they dont make them anymore, very sad, very sad. They were my favorite. "huh? "
" RIP to video reviews. obviously they dont make them anymore, very sad, very sad. They were my favorite. "huh?
this is the least scary resident evil game ever!
RIP to video reviews. obviously they dont make them anymore, very sad, very sad. They were my favorite.
That spider at the end!! My god, I was eating at that time...
Thanks any way, you saved me from buying a game that would probably freak me. I like more the Silent Hill style of horror. No spiders and things like that in there.
damn spiders
Hasn't been a video review for a bit since this.
Oh My, Brad is a total Dreamboat!
"I'm a couple hours into it right now and I have to say I'm quite enjoying it!!!"- SoFuLL thats what she said.
Love you Brad, and I know how much you like MGS, but i have to disagree with you on the whole, RE5 being the best looking game of this generation, MGS4 is easily the best looking game of this gen, and you know that too.
Nice review Brad. I can't wait to get this.
Absolutely loved this game from start to finish. I felt it could have been a little faster paced in the middle part, but after that it sure as hell ratchets up.
I was actually let down by both Gears 2 and Killzone 2, the first because it was a little too buggy when it came to bosses which kind of spoiled the atmosphere, and Killzone 2 just never got me thrilled or excited at any point. RE 5, I felt, fell into neither of these traps. The game is so damn exciting and tense throughout, and it was kind of interesting how some of the bosses seemed to mirror some of the bosses in Gears 2, but executed so, so much better.
Brad "I Talk With My Hands" Shoemaker
Resident Evil 5 is just AMAZING! I'm playing co-op alot.
Just finished the game. Have to say I loved it, all of it.
It also turns out that I suck at Mercenaries but I will get better.
Love this game
Hmm. I do believe that this is the first RE game I will be buying.
It's a game, nothing can ever be offensive in it if you're already going around killing people. This applies to any game. So people should STOP WHINING!
I'm sure there was no ill intent when saying it, but it's not the first time I've heard or read about Sheva being equated to a "mule" character. That's probably not helping to douse the flames of racial controversy concerning this game.
Those who were expecting it to be the second comming of jesus will be disappointed.
Those who expected RE4 with awesome next gen graphics will love it.
I'm a couple hours into it right now and I have to say I'm quite enjoying it!!!
eh..not a fan
rofl at the ending
Great review, cant wait to get the game this weekend!
This QOTW=The noby noby boy contest(fail)
I wish people would stop complaining about the controls. Did any of you play Resident Evil 4? If you haven't, do yourself a favor and pick it up. I'm not for the whole argument that "Bad controls make the game scarier" because that's just BS. The controls are in no way bad, and simply do a great job of adding to the intensity of any fight. The only thing that was stopping me from looking forward to RE5 was the concept of co-op through the entire story. I don't like the entire game relying to heavily on co-op - Army of Two is what comes to my mind, and that has no place in Resident Evil or the Survival-horror genre in any way. What would have been great is if they did something like add a few co-op chapters as a bonus, such as a gameplay mode similar to that of "Separate Ways," or give you the option of playing co-op in Mercenaries.
I really feel this sudden urge to go buy RE5 now, and I think I just might.
And another great ending to the review.
The game looks amazing no doubt but I am bummed that the controls are simple a port of RE4. I understand fans of RE4 will object to my opinion because they assume its a negative however, I was hoping that it would be more fast paced ever since the first trailer came out, the one showing the infected sprinting towards Chris.
If there is someone out there who has played Resident Evil 4 and hasn't seen this video from Mega64 then they should watch it now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oXx0qwe0wc
I think most of us can agree that Resident Evil 4 is better, but RE5 is still great.
Good Review Brad. Couldnt agree more. Especially on the graphics. This game is amazing looking. Props to capcom.
I'll rent it, nice ending by the way

Johnson family benefits planned
In the wake of a devastating tragedy, Jake and Lindsay Johnson are learning about the nature of their friends and neighbors in Susquehanna County.
A traffic accident a few weeks ago claimed the life of the couple's 6-month-old daughter, Lainey, and left Lindsay recovering from four surgeries.
The pain of losing a child is unimaginable, but their friends have come rushing to their aid with at least two benefits scheduled so far and a fund set up to help the Johnsons, Jake the baseball coach at Susquehanna Community High School and a former pitcher at Mountain View High School and Marywood University, and Lindsay a field hockey player at Marywood.
Next Sunday, morning and afternoon golf tournaments and a chicken barbecue will be held at Rock Creek Golf Course in Lenoxville. Both tournament fields are already full, but hole ($100) or cart ($50) sponsorships are available, and donations of gift cards or baskets for the raffle are still being accepted. The chicken barbecue at Creekside Grove, near the golf course, starts at 11 a.m. Cost is $10 and kids under 10 are free. Call Rock Creek for info, 222-2500.
Tickets for the Johnson Family Benefit are now available at Pennstar Bank in Lenox and Susquehanna, New Milford Hardware, Glenwood Stone, Ellie DeFazio Hair Salon, and Mountain View and Susquehanna high schools.
Chet's Place in Union Dale will be hosting a cow flop benefit next Sunday at 4 p.m. Those tickets are $20 each with a grand prize of $1,000. Tickets for the cow flop will also be available at the golf tournament around noon.
The fund for the family to help with mounting bills is set up at People's National Bank in Hop Bottom. Contributions can be sent to P.O. Box 236, Hop Bottom, PA 18824. And props to Mountain View's girls soccer and Susquehanna's football teams which have already held their own fundraisers to get the ball rolling.
To keep up to date, you can follow the Johnson Family Fund page on Facebook.
If you can't be there, please try to send a donation, or at least a prayer, in the direction of the Johnsons.
It's impossible to imagine their suffering, both physically and emotionally. Whatever we can do to help will undoubtedly be appreciated.
