I've tightened or rather overtightened several postfix limits, in what
seemed like a good idea at the time...
noticed now this warning, this user is on a dynamic IP, so can't add his
IP to exception:
going by the counter "Connection rate limit exceeded: 125", what values

I have a user reporting from time to time getting:
"An error occurred while sending mail. Mail server sent incorrect greeting

is this a Thunderbird issue ?
when I search like below, I get nothing, what am I doing wrong?
and, how to fix this, is there anything at this end ? user end ?

I'm waiting for a full header from him, can anything be done in Postfix ?
or where ? to reject/block ?
I've recently updated Postfix from 2.1, and, enabled postscreen, all's
working well, though, just picked up a false positive:
several users inbound mail blocked with dnsbl.spfbl.net
I have like:
# grep spfbl.net main.cf
postscreen_dnsbl_sites = zen.spamhaus.org*5, psbl.surriel.com*2,
bl.spamcop.net*2, dnsbl.spfbl.net*2,
as this is a gov.au server, should I whitelist health.gov.au ? or sge.net
one of the users is waiting for an email from server currently listed on
http://www.dnsbl.manitu.net/lookup.php?value=220.127.116.11
chances are it might get fixed in 12 hours, or, maybe not
short of removing dnsbl.manitu.net from my RBL checks, is there a way to
'bypass' this current predicament, and, allow mails from the IP/host?
can I simply put IP ? hostname ? both ? in /etc/postfix/client_checks ?
or is it /etc/postfix/sender_checks ? as so:
mail12.tpgi.com.au OK
from main.cf:
I've noticed I'm missing certain inbound emails addressed to me, the IT

new server uses almost identical postfix/dovecot/mysql virtual

I've edited MX for aaa, aaa's email start arriving at new server (and,
some at old server), after couple days, it's all good, some emails on old

tell old server to relay? forward ?

new Centos 7 MariaDB 10.2, virtual user/domain, maybe 20 domain/100 users,
see abbreviated usage summary [1]
new server has been up and running few weeks with just a handful users,
just now, transferred another domain/25 users across to new server, and,

I'd like to update and migrate my current Postfix 2.1 to an up to date
version, it's a Postfix/Dovecot/MySQL/smtp auth/ virtual domains/users
I've installed new Centos 7 with ghettoforge postfix 3.2.4 /dovecot, and,
copied over /etc/postfix etc/dovecot, after some minor edits (remove
policyd 1.x, add postfwd, edit IPs/host names, letsencrypt, etc)
it seems to work OK, only some warnings, can send/receive
so I should now run this, yes ?
I currently have Postfix 2.1 with vdomains/vusers, mysql with policyd 1.x for graylisting and throttle, all works well.
Looking at migrating/ moving to an up to date Postfix Dovecot MariaDB server, tried installing Cluebringer 2.0/2.1, getting multiple SQL errors at setup, and, it seems it's not best choice.
Looking at Postfix page, there are multiple choices, looking for some suggestions/ recommendations for a Policy server:
small server, maybe total 200+ users, 30+ domains, plain Postfix/Dovecot/SQL setup, looking for greylisting, throttling (to control hacked smtp auth?)
What other thing
I have an 'old' Postfix 2.1 Centos 6 server, all running well, looking at
setting a more up to date server and Postfix
old server was not installed by me, just now I've realized I have policy

reading some of the ML posts: is ghettoforge the way to do it ?
http://ghettoforge.org/index.php/Postfix
what can or should I do with current main.cf ?
I have a user's inbound mail blocked by barracudacentral, is there a way
to exempt this particular user/domain from this particular RBL check ?
or what else can or should I do ?
this is the only known issue with barracuda I have and, otherwise it seems
quite effective, I think ?

dumb question:
if I get 'connection closed' as below, does that confirm problem is at
remote end, not my Postfix ?
is there any other diags I can run from my end ?
Postfix works well, but, can not send to one particular server
from my Postfix server, I get telnet failure as so:

BEHIND THE WHEEL/Volkswagen Lupo; A Spin in a 99 M.P.G. Car
Published: 16, 2001
Correction Appended
IN lupo means wolf, but for of Europe it also denotes the car in Volkswagen's litter. The Lupo 3 TDI is also VW's most »Three liter» stands not for displacement or size, but for fuel three liters per 100 kilometers in measure, or 99 miles a gallon.
figure was the four-minute mile of efficiency. With the Lupo 3 Volkswagen beat Opel, Fiat and other automakers to the bragging rights for selling the and so far only, production vehicle to this miserly pinnacle.
year, a fleet of Lupo 3 drove around the world in 80 averaging better than 99 But their passage across the States was barely noted. however, with fuel moving higher (although gasoline remains laughably low to the Lupo might get more
Could a car like this with its sophisticated turbocharged diesel engine and astonishing numbers — be practical for the lifestyle? President Bush's have declared 80 m.p.g. an goal, perhaps because the was set by the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles set up by the administration.
VW has no plans to sell the — which comes in guises in Europe, including a hot GTI in the United States. Volkswagen sell a 90-horsepower, four-cylinder of the TDI engine in North America in Jettas and New Beetles, and the manual-transmission gets 49 m.p.g. on the highway.
As so-called Tier 1 vehicles California's complex clean-air TDI's are limited to 3,000 of each model per model Similar restrictions apply in New part of a Northeast consortium of that follow the California VW sold its 2001 consignment of by June; the 2002's are now arriving.
The in the Lupo 3 Liter, however, is twice as clean as the larger
The Lupo is slightly shorter the Suzuki Swift but feels inside. It is smaller than the VW sold outside North which is tinier still the Golf, the smallest VW sold in the States.
To get 99 m.p.g. VW made the light. In the 3 Liter, VW engineers aluminum and magnesium wherever including in the hood. They the power drawn by accessories. is no power steering. The windows be cranked, and the mirrors must be by hand. The Lupo does, offer air-conditioning, and unlike the units on small cars the old Chevy Metro, once the of Florida rental fleets, the system does not offer a choice between acceleration and
VW also honed the aerodynamics of the vehicle. But the Lupo hit the three-liter primarily by using a diesel and not a rugged, old-fashioned, sooty but a newer turbocharged direct-injection with a computer chip to its breathing.
The Lupo 3 Liter is across Europe, where a of all new cars — and well half all luxury cars are diesels. The owner's manual service addresses from to Minsk.
Hitting the three-liter while meeting emissions depends on using low-sulfur The test car came already with warnings not to add American which has a higher sulfur — up to 300 parts per million, with European standards range as low as 10 parts per million and therefore produces higher dioxide emissions. VW would to see all the sulfur removed from — Sweden sells as low as 10 parts per million — but it the TDI's sold in the United to the fuel here.
Diesels, you may recall from science class, are the oldest of internal combustion engine and from simple fuel no spark needed. They are and have fewer parts do gasoline engines and therefore are durable.
The Lupo raises questions: Is diesel a potentially quick solution for reducing consumption? Is it at least a short-term before hydrogen or fuel or other technologies mature and supporting infrastructure is put in place?
Passenger-car diesel has a mixed in the United States. Its image from association with tractor-trailers whose smokestacks clouds of soot and memories of the diesels General Motors in the late 1970's. Even American-built diesel Rabbits of the 1980's were only successful.
Diesels inspire of slow winter starts, performance and shuddering at idle. But the TDI is a animal. In the Golf or Jetta, it so smoothly — without any vibration — and accelerates so as to be almost indistinguishable from a motor.
The turbo direct-injection a 1.2-liter three-cylinder, makes 61 horses. It comes equipped a version of the Tiptronic transmission, by Porsche, which runs in an automatic or clutchless manual. But it less smoothly than the larger TDI available in the New Beetle, or Jetta. It does not offer the response one might like on the merge ramps onto of the New York area's main

"Kew" refers to the following three separate entities :
RBGK's full name is "The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew". RBGK is a non-departmental public body with exempt charitable status and is a global resource for plant and fungal knowledge and manages Kew Gardens in west London and Wakehurst in West Sussex. If you buy a ticket for day-admission to our gardens, become a Friend of Kew, a Friend of Wakehurst (our membership schemes) or a Patron of Kew or make a donation, you will be principally dealing with RBGK.
The Foundation is a registered charity with charity number 803428, and its object is to provide support for RBGK, in particular by undertaking legacy fundraising.
Enterprises is a company (with company number 02798886) and is a wholly owned trading subsidiary of RBGK whose main activities are commercial trading activities to generate income for RBGK including operation of our shops at the gardens and online, and certain events that are not included as part of the normal day admission to the gardens such as Christmas at Kew and Kew the Music
Enterprises also provides services to RBGK and the Foundation particularly to support and undertake their fundraising activities.
1.4 We refer to these three entities collectively as "Kew" throughout this policy, and references to "we" and "us" refer to the Kew entities collectively.
RBGK, The Foundation and Enterprises may each be data controllers of your personal data.They each have different roles, but some activities they undertake overlap and personal data may be shared internally for certain purposes. Information may be shared between them to facilitate, support and integrate their respective activities, for example, RBG Kew may administer invoices and payments made to Enterprises, who are themselves responsible for promoting and running an event at the gardens. Where possible and appropriate, we do try to be clear which entity is collecting your information and to explain which entity does what, but there is inevitably some overlap.
RBGK's address is Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Herbarium, Kew Green, Richmond TW9 3AE.
The Foundation and Enterprises are both based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and have offices at 47 Kew Green, Richmond TW9 3AB.
2.1 What personal data do we hold?
We've described here all the various activities that we may undertake across Kew. However, we generally only hold the personal data that you volunteer or provide to us for use in connection with limited and specific purposes, which are explained to you at the time of collection.
Some examples of the type of information we may collect and hold about you are as follows:
But we may also collect, hold and process other personal data where it is appropriate and relevant, for example:
Special Categories or Sensitive personal data
2.2.How and why will we use this personal data?
2.2.1 We will use your personal data to:
2.2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, Kew does not use personal data for automated decision-making which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects individuals. However, Kew may use profiling techniques in certain circumstances for the purpose of evaluating personal data to provide you with more targeted advertising and for the purpose of segmenting our database of visitors and supporters so that we can communicate with you in the most relevant way possible. In some cases we use cookies to do this. Cookies don't contain personal data, but do uniquely identify your browser and device. Our Cookies Policy (at kew.org/cookies) explains in further detail the types of cookies we use to allow us to do this.
2.3. Fundraising
Charitable giving is very important to Kew's ability to achieve its mission. We carry out a wide variety of marketing activities to seek individuals' support for our work, ranging from appeals for small one-off donations, to large fundraising initiatives for specific projects, such as building renovations. We want to ensure that we are contacting you with tailored and appropriate communications, and ensure we direct our resources and fundraising activities as efficiently and effectively as we can. We also want to communicate with you from time to time to thank you for your support and tell you what we have achieved with the help of your donation.
2.4. Research and profiling using information in the public domain
2.4.1.Throughout our history Kew has relied on gifts of all sizes to support both our recurrent costs and for new buildings or projects. In order that our fundraising is appropriate, respectful, efficient and effective, we tailor our approaches to different people in different ways. We use information you have given us, or which may have been passed to us by a third party by way of introduction, sometimes together with data we collect from publicly available sources, to help us decide how best to do this.
2.4.2.For a small number of people, we may undertake research using publicly available information relating to their philanthropic activities, employment, wealth and assets to create a profile of interests, preferences and capacity to give. This helps us understand the background of the people who we believe may be willing to attend events and enter into a dialogue with us to learn more about supporting our work and organisation. Ultimately it helps us to ensure that proactive requests for gifts are directed to only those who we believe may be able and willing to give. This information is collected from public sources such as news articles, Companies House, the Charity Commission, Who's Who as well as specialist charity research sources such as Factary Phi, and Trustfunding.org. Very occasionally we may work with similar organisations (such as other botanic gardens or other charities) to undertake this research collaboratively.
2.4.3.If we do collect such information about you, whether jointly or on our own, we will inform you within one month of collecting this information in order to provide you with an opportunity to opt out of your data being used for these purposes. You can also opt out by emailing us on firstname.lastname@example.com.
2.4.4.We also have an obligation to ensure we are undertaking appropriate due diligence on potential donors, in accordance with guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and the Fundraising Regulator, and we may collect information from the public domain information for this purpose too.
The legal bases that we rely on for processing your personal data are:
3.1. You have provided your consent to us using your personal data for a specific purpose:
We will ask for your consent to use your personal data to send you marketing emails and SMS.
You always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
3.2. It is necessary in connection with the performance of a contract with you:
Sometimes it is necessary to process your personal data so that we can enter into contractual relationships with you. For example, if you purchase something from our online shop, or become a Friend of Kew or Friend of Wakehurst (our membership schemes) or a Patron of Kew, we will require your personal data to enable us to perform our agreement.
3.3. It is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject:
This would include where we have to retain certain records, for example, to manage health and safety, for the detection and prevention of crime, safeguarding obligations, for maintaining suppression lists to ensure we comply with marketing laws, for tax reasons (such as those related to gift aid donations) and undertaking due diligence before accepting certain donations or entering into certain relationships.
3.4. It is within our legitimate interests.
Applicable law allows personal data to be collected and used if it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests or a third party's legitimate interests (as long as the processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact individuals' rights). We will rely on this ground to process your personal data where we are confident that this will not impact your rights.
Our legitimate interests include the following :
raising funds for our charitable work
publicity and income generation,
campaigning and fundraising in order to support our work and
undertaking due diligence to establish the provenance of donations that are made, or may be made, to us.
The types of activity where we may rely on legitimate interests include the following :
When we process your personal data to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
Please see section 2.1 above for the limited legal basis for when we process sensitive personal data.
3.5 It forms part of our "public task"
As a public body, we are responsible for managing the premises and collections at Kew and Wakehurst. As such we accession items into our collections ranging from documents, books, letters and correspondence which often have historical value, artworks, to plant and fungi related items such as those which are held in our economic botany collection, living collections and dried specimens within the herbarium.
Some items will contain personal data within them (such as letters or details of the collector of a specimen) and where items are donated to us, we are also obliged to record details about the donor themselves. Please note that certain historical items, may relate to an individual who is deceased. As such the details they contain are no longer legally deemed to be "personal data" and are outside the scope of this notice.
We process the above mentioned personal data as part of our statutory duties and are required to demonstrate its provenance. We therefore include public statements of source, including the donor or specimen collector, but do provide opportunities to remain anonymous if preferred. .
We collect information about you:
4.1. When you give it to us directly
You may give us your personal data in order to receive information from us; visit our facilities; buy products or services from us including such things as purchasing, administering and renewing membership; when you volunteer with us or take part in any of our community programmes (or request information about these); when you donate to us; when you respond to a survey or when you otherwise engage with us on our websites and digital products.
4.2. When a third party provides us with your personal data
Your personal data may be shared with us by third parties in certain circumstances. This may include (but is not limited to) individuals who may purchase gift membership on your behalf, ticket agencies that may sell tickets to access Kew Gardens or Wakehurst or specific events run there, schools or other institutions who work with us or receive our services, by mutual contacts who recommend you to us or buy goods and services on your behalf or as a gift, and by our partners who may host and run events (or help to run and host events) at our premises, or run competitions or prize draws jointly with us. In some limited cases, third parties may also act on our behalf to provide you with a service. Where appropriate you should check any Privacy Policy of any third party when you provide your personal data to them in order to understand fully how they will process your personal data.
4.3. When it is available publicly
We may combine personal data you provide to us with personal data available from external publicly available sources such as Companies House and published articles and newspapers. Depending on your privacy settings for social media services, we may also access personal data from those accounts or services. We use this personal data to gain a better understanding of you, and to improve our communications and fundraising approaches (see section 3 above).
4.4. When you use our websites and digital products, such as kew.org and support.kew.org
We may collect personal data about you when you use our websites and digital products. Whenever you input personal data into our website (for example, if you become a member or renew a membership online or otherwise support us through our website, book a visit online or download any of our resources), we will collect the personal data that you give to us.
We use "cookies" to identify you when you visit our websites and digital products. Amongst other things this helps us to understand our website users and may enable us to improve the website experience for you and/or other users. Please refer to our Cookies Policy for details on how and why we use this data at kew.org/cookies.
We may collect other personal data from your use of the websites, such as your IP address and access times.
We may link our websites directly to other sites. This privacy policy does not cover external websites and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.
5.1 We may contact you by post and telephone, and, where you have provided consent, by e-mail, to let you know about our events and activities (and we may also mention those of third parties, particularly where they are collaborating with us or sponsoring our events) that might be of particular interest to you; retail offers and promotions, or about the work of Kew more generally; and to request donations and provide you with information about and the opportunity to participate in our fundraising activities. In the case of venue hire, we may also contact you by post, phone or email to tell you about associated events which support or relate to your venue hire booking. We provide the opportunity for you to opt-out from receiving our marketing communications every time we contact you.
You can opt-out from receiving our marketing communications, or update your contact preferences at any time by emailing: email@example.com
5.2 Social media targeting
If you are a social media user, we will use certain social media tools as part of our relationship with you. These tools include such things as Facebook and Instagram Custom/Lookalike Audiences, Google Customer Match/Similar Audiences, Twitter Tailored/Lookalike Audiences and LinkedIn Matched Audiences.
Through using these tools, we will provide some of your data to the social media platform / organisation to allow them to identify your social media profile with them. The social media platform / organisation will then show you relevant advertisements relating to Kew which we think you will be interested in seeing on your newsfeed.
The social media platform / organisation will also use your profile to identify those with similar characteristics to you who we think may also be interested in finding out more about Kew and the work we do. These identified individuals will then be shown advertisements about Kew on their newsfeed. This activity is governed by the social medial platform's own privacy policy and terms and conditions, so please do refer to these documents if you require any further information about this activity.
We do not sell your information under any circumstances. We may from time to time share your personal data with third parties for them to use for marketing purposes or for us to use jointly with a third party where we are embarking upon a joint fundraising project. However, we will only ever do this where you have given us permission to do so or where we are carrying out joint research as detailed in section 2.4.2.
We may also, in certain circumstances, receive your details from charitable giving platforms such as Just Giving, in accordance with a particular platform's privacy policy. For example, where you donate to Kew through an online platform, they may then give us your address so that we can write to you and say thank you. Please do review any such policies before giving your data to these platforms, to ensure that you are happy for your data to be shared in this way.
RBGK, Enterprises and the Foundation may share your personal data between themselves, so if you give your information to RBGK then this may be shared with Enterprises and the Foundation, for example. Your personal data will only be shared between the entities for the purposes set out in section 2.2 of this policy.
We work with service providers and other third parties who provide services and support to us to run our daily operations, including providing and improving our information, products and services, and we may share information with them for these purposes only.
Whilst we may allow our staff, consultants and/or external service providers acting on our behalf to access and use your personal data for the activities we have described in this policy (eg. to provide services or products to you, deliver mailings, to analyse data and to process payments), we only permit them to use it to deliver the relevant information, goods or services, and only if they apply an appropriate level of security protection.
Sharing for regulatory or legal reasons. We may need to disclose your personal data upon request to regulatory and government bodies as well as law enforcement agencies. We may also merge or partner with other organisations and in so doing, acquire or transfer personal data but your personal data would continue to be used for the purposes set out above.
Transmission outside of Europe or via the Internet. The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to, shared and/or otherwise processed by organisations or companies outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Where your personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient implements appropriate measures to protect your personal data (for example, by entering into EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses).

Those aged under 13 are not permitted to receive our newsletters, or enter any competitions or prize draws with us. We will not knowingly have any other direct contact with those aged under 13.
Where consent is required to process children's personal data and the child is under 13 years, where appropriate we shall seek consent from a parent or guardian, or shall ensure such consent is in place before any data is shared with us. We shall only hold personal data about children that is absolutely necessary for the purpose of the event/programme that they are applying for or participating in.
Where a parent or guardian gives consent on behalf of a child, we may contact that child after their 16th birthday, to check if they wish to maintain their relationship with us.

"You Need to Do This To Make Partner!" (Colossians 3:23-24)/
My first job as a physician was with a very large and prestigious pathology group. I had to work for 4 years before I was eligible for partnership. It was only eligibility because after 4 years, all of the current partners would meet and review my performance and decide whether I would be offered partnership.
During these 4 years, other partners would offer sage advice. "You need to do this to make partner!" Some took the time to outline different activities that would enhance my visibility and credibility. I had to make myself indispensable to the group.
Thankfully I did make partnership. But as I reflect upon my activities during this period in my life, I realize that I lived with a constant paranoia that all of my actions were being scrutinized and judged. If I erred, my first thought would not be for the patient, it would often be, "Oh no! Will this affect my chances to make partner?"
My priorities were skewed, distorted and awry. I was focused upon myself when I should have focused upon my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My concern should have been pleasing God rather than pleasing man.
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV)
There is one fact during this period in my life for which I am absolutely assured. All of my actions were being scrutinized and judged-by God. My continual stubbornness and sinful desire to do things my way clouded my vision resulting in my disobedience and lack of trust in Him. Thanks be to God for His mercy and grace that kept me with Him even when I was so willfully conceited.
Love and trust the Lord; seek His will in your life.

So I thought I would start with my easier of the lists and that is my Fave Authors.
There will be two lists. The first – Authors I can't live without. When these ladies put out a book, I usually stop whatever I am doing and pick up their books. The second list is New Authors I think you should give a try. This year there was a flood of new authors some of the truly amazing! So here we go with my lists.
2. Brenda Rothert – I just recently found Brenda through a blog tour that I signed up for. She has become one of my addictions. Especially her Bound Series which I am absolutely in love with. Read her books!
17. Gail McHugh – I am not big into angst. I can take a little here and then. But let me tell you that Gail is the QUEEN mother of angst. I would text her back and forth while reading, claiming that if my heart gave out, it would all be her fault! Gavin is so worth the angst.
18. Rebecca Shea – I love tales of those who grow up together and then fall in love – Unbreakable is one such story that will take you on a roller coaster of a ride. Love me some Rebecca Shea or Becca Squared as I like to call her when we are together.

HARBOR SPRINGS - Fred Knoodle, 68, of Harbor Springs, lost his life yesterday morning doing something he loved - riding his bicycle.
The fatal accident occurred at approximately 7:50 a.m. when he collided with a vehicle on Hathaway Road near Kipp Road in Harbor Springs.
His wife, Jimmie, said yesterday was the first time Fred had ridden that route this year.
"He wanted to get out early, but was always concerned about sun in driver's eyes," she said.
Jimmie said Fred was really athletic and loved biking. He had already ridden two bike tours with her this summer, another one on his own in the U.P. and was getting ready to leave for the DALMAC next Thursday.
"He had almost 3,000 miles in his bike this year," she said. "He could tell you exactly how many miles he had ridden in the last 30 years. He also was really looking forward to the new extension on Magnus Park bike trail."

Behind a great game by Christopher Gasiewicz, who had two goals and two assists, Lockport defeated Syracuse, 6-1.
Gasiewicz\'s tallies came at 6:54 into the first period to make the score 2-0 Lockport and 6:45 into the third to make the score 5-1 Lockport.
Lockport excelled on the penalty kill, not giving up a single goal in five chances. Syracuse was unable to stop Lockport from sending pucks towards the net, and Lockport eventually piled up 56 shots on goal.
Lockport also got points from Jordan Pocobello, who also tallied one goal and one assist, Justin Blake, who also racked up one goal and one assist, and Nicholas Siracuse, who also had two goals and one assist. More assists for Lockport came via Jacob Burford, Justin Durkee, and Gibson Stuart, who contributed one each and Daniel Golba and Anthony Merante, who each chipped in two.
Syracuse\'s penalty kill was spotless, allowing no goals on five Lockport power plays. Syracuse\'s offense operated below its season average. Syracuse puts an average of 3.3 pucks into the net per game.
Syracuse was led by Braeden Pearl, who scored the team\'s only goal. Pearl scored 16:26 into the second period to make the score 3-1 Lockport. Travis Hyde provided the assist.
Ryan Kostelnik made 19 saves for Lockport on 20 shots. Lockport incurred 20 minutes in penalty time with five minors. Ludvig Kullen Dansarie rejected 50 shots on goal for Syracuse. Syracuse incurred 10 minutes in penalty time with five minors.

Before we knew it, the twinkling lights and festive air was gone. All too quickly, the darker days of an Indiana winter set it–but that doesn't mean you have to hide at home!
There are all sorts of fun and neighborly events going on in an Indiana town near you.
Chicken Dinners and Apple Pie
One of my favorites are church chicken dinners. Okay, any dinner! Beef and noodles, chicken and noodles, turkey, chili, soup…you name it, it's out there.
These may seem like a simple fundraiser, and while they are, they are also something a whole lot more important: they are community builders!
We all tend to hibernate a bit during the winter (or maybe that's just me) but you don't need to hide any more. There's a warm and welcoming atmosphere in a small town near you.
It's a chance to get to know people around you–and to take pride in your community! I've been to quite a few of these by now but I don't exactly announce my presence. I do have to wonder if anyone finds it odd that I take pictures of the food.
Community Builders
These special dinners aren't used by only Indiana churches. You'll find school groups of high-achieving teens trying to raise funds for trips to places like Washington, D.C.
There's boy scouts and girl scouts, and also adult groups raising money too.
But it's local people, the people in your neighborhood (as the Sesame Street song goes) who need the help. The planning, the organization, the fliers or posters or advertising (or lack there-of) were all handled by folks just wanting to make a difference.
Why not pop in, get to know the people around you, and get a good meal out of it, too. You have nothing to lose.
Go There
It doesn't matter if you are a member of the church or just someone strolling through the area. More than likely, you will be made to feel at home and like one of the group. That's been our experience so far, at least!
Whether the money goes to a project close to home or for much-needed repairs or for something abroad, you know it's going to do some good, somewhere. Really, it's a win/win for everyone involved! And that's something to feel good about.

"Bad Guys Win Again?"
The "Christmas Story", as we have come to know it, has two main authors: Luke and Matthew. Luke's account of the incarnation ends with Simeon, the prophet, pronouncing this over Mary and Joseph: "Your Son will be hated! What men will do to Him will pierce your soul like a sword."This is not what any parent wants to hear prophesied over their kid. But there it is.
Matthew's account of the incarnation closes with Joseph and Mary fleeing to Egypt to escape the demonized ruler of the land. True to his form, Herod kills all the boys 2 years and under. Matthew concludes with this: "Israel's children will be no more!"
Halt! Just as the Christmas story gets rolling (after 400 years of silence) and makes great and glorious promises about God's Kingdom coming, it comes to a halt. Jesus and John disappear for 30 years! The closing lines of the Christmas story hang like a putrid fog: "Your son will be hated! What men will do to Him will pierce your soul like a sword." "Mourn and weep mothers, your babies are no more!"
For Next 30 years? Where is everyone? What happened to all the promises, shepherds, angelic visitations, Magi, prophets and – joy? For thirty years Jesus has been living in the obscure town called Nazareth! No one in Nazareth was pointing to Him saying, "This is the Messiah"; not even Mary.
The Final Act – The one who stands out as the last word in the Christmas story is … Herod! So where do we go? Is Herod always going to get to write the final evil script while the purposes of God seem to vanish and disappear? It sort of looks that way. There is a lot of pain and brokenness in our lives. Maybe that's why the fat man in the red suit is so popular. His message is filled with "Ho-Ho-Ho" and our story is just quickly forgotten.
More Sunday!
The message this Sunday would be a good one for your friends and family to hear. Why not invite them to attend church with you? Hope to see you!

George was rescued by Ray & Flora near Goulburn, cared for by Erin with Luna as a buddy. He's your typical round wombat now, only comes out of his burrow after dark, and while Luna has been sick and not in his enclosure he's been screaming the house down July 2016 Goulburn Erin 2.4kg. George wandered around very cross and screaming out when Luna got sick and came inside, when she was bought out to be with him, she smelt different, he was very confused poor George. He's eventually buddied with Grace Miss Independant and still very wild. Luna is back and at least tolerated, and hopefully soon all three sleeping together.

Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video New features in document libraries, part of SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online New Features.
- [Voiceover] Let me introduce you to some other cool, new features that are specific to document libraries. First, we have an improved ability to upload. It's a little thing, and you wouldn't even necessarily notice at first, but if I click Upload, and Browse to choose a file, this looks a lot like something I've seen in the past, and I then select, for example, this logo. I can hold Control, and also select this item as well, so I can use the Upload dialogue box to be able to upload multiple files.
You can always drag and drop like you did before, but it's not always easy to have access to the folders that you want to drag from. So if you want to be able to do a multi-upload, that dialogue box looks the same, but it functions a little differently than it did before. I have shortcut keys available to me here. There are the Windows or browser shortcut keys, but rather than using Control they use Alt. So if I want to create, for example, a new document, alt + n, opens, Create a new file, and I can choose the type of file or folder I wish to create.
I also have the ability to alt + u to upload. Same dialogue we just saw. If I want to synchronize a document, that's alt + y, and because I haven't synced my library yet, it's not going to synchronize those specific document. It's calling up the sync for the entire library. And this again is, because I can use shortcut keys, I'm not needing to fire up the ribbon each time. But some of these I actually have to have a document selected because they're document specific.
There's alt + m, which allows me to manage a document. Alt + s allows me to share a document, and alt + e is edit. Some other things that aren't obvious in libraries, we have support for open document format or ODF files, which you might think of as something like Google Docs or a LibreOffice Doc, a Zoho Office Suite document, and those are now supported in SharePoint 2016.
The context or shortcut menus that are available have been redone. If we're looking, for example, at Change Request, and we click, we get a preview of the document and we have a menu that allows us to do some things with it, including jumping and see it full screen, but I can also right click, and I don't even have to select the document to right click on it, and I get a more relevant menu than I received in previous versions of SharePoint on the menu. And again, it right clicks, which I like.
That's how everything is supposed to work in the Office applications running in Windows so I'm used to that. Notice from here that I can open the document online or in Word I can rename, delete it, see its version history, and under Advanced you'll see things like who it's shared with, compliance details, check the document out, and run workflows on a particular document or item. So this context or shortcut menu vastly improved, really nice-looking. If I point to a video or point to an image file, the most I'll ever have to do is click it once to be able to see a preview of it, which is nice.
Often when I hover, I'll get a preview as well. New features that are available to me by virtue of using Office 2016 are available here as well. For example, if I open up a document in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel in 2016, then I still have access to those features even though I'm opening it through SharePoint. Finally, I have support for more characters in file names than I had before.
In the past, you might have tried to upload a document and been told that you couldn't because of characters that were used in the file name. The special characters that were not available in the past, were the & character, the ~ character, { }, and leading ... in a file name. Also you couldn't have a GUID in a file name, and file names could not be longer than 128 characters. You can now use &.
You use GUIDs. Have longer file names if you wish. There are still some characters you can't use because they have a particular meaning in URLs. For example, the # sign or hash sign, and the % sign can't be used in file names, but many other special characters can be, and that's helpful when we're moving documents from libraries in Windows, where we were able to use those characters and file names, and then were trying to save them in SharePoint for broader use or for sharing.
Many new features in document libraries. Some of them easy to find, some of them subtle, all of them useful.

Trick marionette
Marionettes or Puppets on Strings are a rather old idea of mankind. We find string operated puppets in one form or another in most parts of the world, from the rather simple to the very complex. Though complexity does not mean they are interesting on stage or have audience impact. Complexity means rather more strings and different ways to organise the Marionette. Today I would like to introduce one of my latest creations, finished mid 2013. He can independently elongate the arms or the legs or the neck or all at the same time. On average it takes me between ten days to two weeks for a Marionette, though this one certainly was more time consuming during its creation.
For rather to long a spooky story is in my mind....... he will be one of the participants in it. With his groovy sinister look and sly smile, black silk outfit and twelve fingers, pale yellow white skin and staring eyes, just the sort of guy one wants to meet at night time in a dark alley.
Over the years I did create a number of different trick marionettes for various shows... stay tuned and you will meet them all.
