Quote:Where do you find the "Custom" or "Full Moon" settings. I just went through my menu and couldn't find them.On some Starsense units like mine it has to be completely dark and my porch lite that's 50ft away has to be turned off or it will say "too few stars". The full moon has no effect on it according to Celestron engineers. It doesn't seem to effect my SS unit. Neilson
Quote:The reason I don't have all those settings is because I'm using newer firmware. They removed all those settings and the newer firmware adjusts the camera so the moon will have no effect. And it uses 4 alignment points now. I think their waiting until they finish the updates before they write a new manual. They changed and removed a number of things I wish they hadn't. Neilson
Quote:And update your firmware. On the Celestron site or join Team Celestron public beta testers to get the most recent beta firmware updates. There were some problems when the moon is out with older firmware. The updates resolved that and some other problems. Neilson
Quote:Ok i did all that just waiting to be approved. I am assuming the file for alt az will work with the skyprodigy as well? I mean if it works for the se mount i dont see why not but just checking.

Quote:Hi jag,Are you looking for firmware for a Skyprodigy or a Starsense Accessory? I think Neilson and others here might have assumed you were after the Starsense Accessory firmware, which is different from the Skyprodigy firmware, hence some people talking of not having the ability to adjust for different moon brigntness levels etc, as that isn't in the Starsense Accessory firmware, only in the SkyProdigy firmware.My understanding is that since release there have been no new Skyprodigy firmware releases as yet, but I think we have recently been told there is a new version of the Skyprodigy firmware due to come out soon in beta in team celestron. It isn't there just yet though, so there may be no urgency in you getting approved there if it is Skyprodigy firmware you are after. All the recent Starsense firmware releases in team celestron have been for the Starsense Accessory, not for the Skyprodigy mounts as far as I know, and the two products have their own separate and different firmwares.Cheers,Chris MQuote:Ok i did all that just waiting to be approved.

Quote: I'm still having a lot of problems with mine. Besides the poor goto's in the south half of the sky, My alignments are very inconsistent. Each night I have to do a number of alignments just to get a usable one. I hooked up to Starry Nights and it connects good and the goto's work but I want to image and I need to get my object on the DSLR chip and hopefully near the center but the up, down, left, right keys on Starry nights dont work correctly. left might go left, then hit it again and it goes right then hit it again and it moves left then moves right back where it started. I'm not the only one reporting that problem and on other programs. So Starsense needs to be getting more accurate consistent goto's like the Nexstar does. I'm having another problem. During alignments the first alignment point images, gets 100 stars but the second one images but doesn't say too few stars or 100 stars or solved or anything it just says imaging, then pauses then says acquiring another point or something like that, and goes to the east side, images, gets 100 stars, solved then goes back to the west side and images 100 stars, solved then back to the east side to image 100 stars. Then sometimes it fails the alignment and sometimes it passes the alignment. In fact it rarely does the normal 2 points on the west then 2 points on the east side type alignment. Too many alignments fail or are not so good. This has happened dozens of times. I don't know if anyone is having these back and forth type alignment problems. part of them fail and some pass.Neilson

Quote:Isn't it supposed to be capable of a firmware update?
Quote:Not really sure what Celestron is doing. You would think this would be a top priority and they would dedicate the resources to squash the bugs. More than that though, what the heck happened that force them to send them off to retail stores before they were ready? What was with the early beta testers that let these things slip by? Two interesting accessories that makes their mounts fun and easy to use are the SkyQ link and the Starsense camera. If you have an AVX, which I assume is their biggest selling mount, the SkyQ accessory doesn't even work. I am so disappointed in Celestron right now.
Quote:Hell knows what Celestron are up to with SkyQ. It's just been ditched so it seems to me. The reason they give about iTunes being at fault seems highly suspicious to me. The were problems with the App Store some time back corrupting uploaded Apps, but that's been ages ago. The problems with SkyQ happened as soon as Celestron released the last update, it makes the Application unusable as the align buttons become unresponsive.I remember reading a post where one of the guys at Celestron said the bloke working on SkyQ is in a bad place at the backend of last year; whatever that means - slightly cryptic. I've contacted Celestron many times about updates for their application, all I get back is the same response,"we're working on it"...6 months on...It would be nice to have SkyQ working as the idea is very forward thinking. I absolutely loathe using a hand controller, being wireless is so much better.

Now this is an interesting drink! I love the variety of hops they put into this. First sip is like nothing but hops, but then it turns into a sweet malt that doesn't over ride the pleasant taste of the hops. The color I was a little disappointed in. I was hoping for a little more red but it kind of looks just like Budweiser.
Overall, amazing drink and I think Sam Adams should keep up their good work!

A - Golden brown with a small amount of head. The head is sticky however.
S - Its whatever, I don't smell too much to be honest
T - Good balance between hoppy and malty. Not too bitter, which I like. A little hops go a long way with me.
M - Full bodied that finishes smooth going down the throat.
O - Pretty much what you'd expect from SA. At the price point its at though, a good bang for your buck when you want something better.

Just poured into a pilsner glass. Head is beautiful with excellent sticky lacing. Love the sweet malts, piney smell, and great hop taste. Great idea with the 5 noble hops. You know you have good thing. Nose to glass is excellent. Beer has a very good presentation. Color, taste, and head make the beer very appetizing. Good price for such a high quality pilsner. i consistently keep a six pack of this in my fridge, keeps you coming back due to its quality. Slight bitterness, but very smooth, makes it very drinkable. This is another very good pilsner that is on the top shelf.
Awesome beer!

12oz bottle from the Hop Tour case – Imperial Nonic Pint glass
A: A mammoth cap of course white suds adorns the top of my glass staying for some time. Covers over a pale caramel amber body with very fine clarity. Leaves behind some broken runners of sticky lace upon each sip.
S: Spice hops dominate the nose with a good mix of grassy hops and grainy pilsner malt. Somewhat wheat like with a doughy bread and almost pretzel like quality. There is a touch of pine and citrus there as well with some earthy minerals. Nice and spicy hop forward nose.
T: Tastes of bread, spice, and florals with a nice upper level of hoppiness overall. Dry grass and peppery spices mix with some grainy bread moving towards a much dryer soda cracker like finish. Dash of citrus spice. No signs of alcohol come through in the flavor and there is a slight metallic tinge on the finish. More mineral like I guess. Otherwise this is a very nice and hoppy Pils with good balance to it.
M: Lightly filling to moderate low body with a nice peppery bitterness and creamy consistency to it. Finishes out a bit wet and watered down although there is a nice dry crisp snap there.
D: Tasty beer. A very refreshing Pils with a nice hop bite on it. One of the BBC's better concoctions. A real noble effort I must say…hmm bwhahaha

served from bottle into pilsner glass. glear golden yellow appearance, lots of carbonation. white fluffy merengue type 3 finger head that laces the glass pretty well. the smell is grassy almost hay like. strong crackery notes from the pilsner malts and earthyness from the noble hops although the saaz hop note stands out most. the taste is big cracker bready taste up front follwed by just the right hop zing that you would expect in a great czech pils. carbonation washes the pallet well and leaves you wanting another sip. overall this a great offering from samuel adams. definatlly one of my favorites!...cheers!

This ale pours a very light straw color with a small white head that lasts throughout the pour. The nose is very light with notes of belgian yeast, light citrus hops, and Fresh wheat. The flavor is quite light and refreshing. Its not a complex beer but this style shouldn't be. It is easy in the palate, simple. Not too much malt or hops; just balanced and easy going. This isn't a beer that I'd seek out but one that is very enjoyable and easy to drink.

T: Nice balance of hops bitterness and malt sweetness. Definitely on the sweeter side, though not overly so. Can taste grass and light honey.
O: Not as crisp as other pilsners, but exceptional just the same. It is more rounded due to the malt presence. This is an excellent beer and would definitely buy again. A outstanding beer at a great price.

Consumed cold and poured into a pilsner glass.
A- Golden, somewhat hazy, light and fluffy finger sized head.
S- Somewhat hoppy, with a touch of grass, and a hint of citrus.
T- Not as hoppy as the smell would indicate. Surprisingly wheaty. Hints of pine, however it is very subtle.
M- Dry with strong carbonation. Slight bitterness in the finish.
O- I was surprised at first because the taste didn't necessarily reflect the aroma at first. I was expecting something a bit more hoppy. This pils is a bit on the dry side. The bitterness and dryness combines for a complementary bite that leaves the drinker wanting another sip.

The colour is pale gold (6 EBC), the liquid is clear. The two finger head is white and compact. It sinks rather slowly leaving thick lacing on the glass.
The smell is loaded with noble hops. Hay, grass, summer flowers and a delicate notable bitterness. It is quite sweet and very floral. Hints of oil paint and shoe polish.
The taste is bitter and loaded with floral hops. Medium bitterness. Notes of oil paint and bitter herbs. Some butter and light clean sweet flavours. Medium body. The bitterness grows in the aftertaste, as does the clean alcohol. The finish is semi-sweet with even more German/Czech hops.
The carbonation is strong with lots of very small bubbles, the liquid is smooth.
It is like a Czech pilsner, but hopped like an APA with noble hops. It could easily have been over-hopped and unbalanced, but this beer keeps it just right.

A- Crystal-clear golden body with lots of carbonation bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Big, fluffy bone-white head that settles slightly, but hangs around for a while.
S- Lots of sweet noble hops coming through some toasted pilsner malt. Not a strong nose, but the aroma is pleasant.
T- Lots of lemony and herbal hops come through the toasty pilsner malt. More hop-forward than some pilsners, but not the hoppiest out there. Malt backbone is very nice.
M- Very crisp, medium-high carbonation, fairly light body, but not watery.
O- A nice pilsner, but not on the level of some of the top ones in my opinion. This one does have a very unique flavor though, and a great crisp feel. Worth a try for a pilsner fan.

Samuel Adams Noble Pils
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Nonick pint glass. Served nicely chilled.
A) Nice golden brew with plenty of bubble trails to stare at, while pondering life and what not. About a finger of soapy white head. This settles to a dusting. A bit of lacing.
S) A nice clean refreshing scent of lightly toasted grains and clementine oranges. Not powerful, but quite pleasant.
T) I have to say, the description on the bottle nails the taste. A citrusy hop character and bright refreshing flavor. There is some light rind on the finish.
M) A lighter bodied brew with zesty carbonation. This mofo is crisp and refreshing. Nice aftertaste....
O) This is a good beer and I enjoyed drinking it. I've had it before, and I thought it was good then too. Guess this one kind of gets lost in the shuffle a bit. I'd put it in my top 5 from the Boston Beer Company.

I wanted to not like this beer but it really is a very good beer.
The appearance was very nice with a brilliantly clear golden straw color. The head was tall and long lasting. Big carbonation bubbles and some lacing.
The aroma was excellent too with noble hops shining noblely. Floral and spicy almost pungent but not over bearing. Lets say a tame confidence.
Taste was sharp and tangy. Hops aren't as bold as in the nose but they are present.
The balanced malts have abready and biscuit finish that leads to a drey and bitter finish.
An outstanding pils that could pass for any quality euro pils in a blind taste test.

wow, Sam Adams does it again.
A: poured into my lager glass at 38f, I don't have or buy into the SA glass bs. Anyway, clear tawny orange yellow with a 1 inch head on a hard pour into a snifter glass (14oz). check the Czech style.
S: wow not usually a big hop lover, but noble is something special and in this beer its well perfect, and wow that's just rare for me in an ale, but a lager wow is all I can say. Rich deep hops, very floral, some spicy, some citrus. Heaven. Very hop forward as expected.
T: wow its like a real Czech pils but like it used to be only with more hop flavor. clean malt backbone with a almost pale ale hop finish. Very balanced and to the style to a "T".
2013 version seems a tad over hopped.
M: medium body and medium carbonation to me
D: easy to drink 4 or more wow, glad they are 8 bucks a 6 pack!

12oz bottle ~$1.49. Heavy yellow color, decent head, a bit of lacing. Mild citrus aroma, touch of minerals. Flavor is honey, citrus, and something I can't quite put my finger on.

Reviewed September 24, 2013 at 0120. 12 oz bottle from the Hopology collection poured into a Lindemans Flute.
A: Full fingered white creamy head. Clear golden body with carbonation rising steadily. Amazing lacing while the flute creates condensation,
S: Creamy malty and sweet. On a second smelling the hops are present.
T: Slight bitterness throughout with a nice floral and grassy taste at the end. Malty taste is not really present, but their importance in balancing the taste is evident.
M: Medium body with an exceptionally crisp quality. Very smooth to drink.
O: As a Pilsner this beer is quite delicious. Samuel Adams creates their own version and I believe it stands quite nicely. Has a Munich Helles Lager quality. This is a prefect drink for a hot summer day.

12oz bottle poured into Samuel Adams perfect pint glass.
A - Lightly hazy gold with light carbonation. About an inch and a half of foamy white head after pouring right down the center. Light yet lingering lacing. Head gradually fades away.
S - Amazing spicy hoppiness. Noble hops are very evident.
T - Hops are very present upfront but not as bitter as a pale ale or an IPA. A bready maltiness joins in later on and accompanies the hops making for a very well balanced finish. Once the beer is gone, a hoppy essence keeps lingering on the tongue.
M - light smooth body with some carbonation
O - One of my favorite beers. Glad this is no longer a seasonal so I can have some in the fridge year-round. Definitely think this is one of BBC's best beers.

The beer pours a clean, pale, urine-yellow color. A tight white head of small bubbles forms to a about a half finger's width and then fizzles to a scrim. The head leaves a sticky lacing of thin, hole-ridden sheets on the sides of the glass. In body, the beer is lager clean and full of nicely-paced bubbles that feed the head. No particles are present in the beer, and it seems entirely free of any haze. On the nose, the beer smells delicate, crisp, and hoppy with Noble spice. A strong, light caramel note gives the nose a light stickiness, while still remaining delicate. Herbal grass and light dankness can also be sensed in the beer, nicely showcasing the Noble hops. On the tongue, the beer tastes soft and floral sweet. Gentle bitterness touches the palate in the middle of the sip and carries on into the finish, providing some nice balance. The sweetness does incorporate some fruitier aspects, and a light citric acidity can be sensed on the sides of the cheeks, but in all his beer is delicate and balanced. The beer feels light in body, with a crisp, slightly slick mouthfeel and a soft carbonation that still carries a little bite on the tongue. The flavor begins as light grass and flowers with a soft spice. Caramel and cracker malt move in after a while, bringing with them a sweet, almost apple juice flavor that I sometimes detect in pilsners. Faint salt character can be detected on the back of the tongue. The finish is softly citric lemon peel with a touch of cracker and grass. The aftertaste is mellow cracker malt. Overall, this is a nicely reserved beer with some great balance. The apple juice sweetness does briefly get a little too much for the subtlety of the style, but never too much so.

Video: The Navy's 'Shoulder-to-Shoulder' Firefighting Robot's First Trial By Fire
A couple of weeks back we first heard about Octavia, the Naval Research Lab's (NRL) and Office of Naval Research's (ONR) new firefighting robot designed to perform "shoulder-to-shoulder" firefighting operations with humans aboard Navy vessels. Today we get to see Octavia in action, fighting a simulated fire in a demonstration video that is somewhat less-than-confidence-inspiring.
Admittedly, the emphatic gesturing and unnatural command language that Octavia's human handler must employ--under emergency conditions, no less--are a bit awkward and clunky, as user interfaces go. Octavia itself seems in no real rush to extinguish this simulated shipboard fire--and if there's one thing all flesh-and-blood firefighters understand, it's that there are no spare seconds when your ship is ablaze in the middle of the ocean.
But to be fair, this platform is brand new. The NRL is working on improving the interface to be more natural so human-machine interactions will come off much more organically, like an exchange between two human firefighters. And if all goes to plan, Octavia will someday be able to not only go where human firefighters simply can't, but also to use various instruments to characterize the type and behavior of a particular fire in order to devise the proper strategy for putting it out quickly and effectively.
As a prototype, I think this is great to send a robot into harms way, where a human should not go. This be great in Japan for nuclear waste clean up in the future.

Why do the USA robots scare me and the Japanese robots I want to take home and introduce to the family?

Yeah, I get it that this thing's new, but it looks like it would be much more apt starting fires than putting them out. The Navy should be quite pissed right now. Whatever this is intended to be; it is NOT that thing. Whatever this is intended to be, it was nowhere near prepared for a demonstration for the public consumption. I can imagine submariners' mothers and wives and childrens reaction to seeing this. I hope the Navy has removed someone's ass in a proper military fashion, because this is lame. Once again, if this has costed us what it typically does for one of these scam projects, THEN ALL THE WORLD IS IN THE WRONG TRADE.
You wanna fight fire on a modern seagoing craft in a comprehensive way you gotta look environmentally in a dynamic sense. You want a robot? Why can't it, for the cash they'll cost us, cycle the flame environment right out of the space it's living in? Isn't that the easiest way to fight a fire? It's not like we don't have these capabilities that we look for in other areas already, like vacuum as an initiator for the hot gas cycler. Hell; we can generate power from it. Get Real, Navy. Some of us have family that serve.
Dear Fellow Readers,
I see alot of negativity in the comment list about the fire fighting robot.
Please keep in mind that this is a prototype and refinement comes with practice. This is cutting edge stuff…is there any other group with a better one to offer?
What about the successes of the robot? It was able to communicate with the human partner and understand the task and accomplish the mission. Granted it took a bit of time and was done in a manner that was not really a natural conversation but there was communication and understanding. Now let the software developers work at refining this. Also, such human- robot interaction has application in fields other than fire fighting as the technology develops.
Every new invention has to go through its development phase. On the following website is a picture of Henry Fords first automobile…it is chain driven with bicycle tires and you steer it with a tiller.
I think we can all agree that this prototype was developed into something that has made one of the greatest impacts on society of all times. However, in its humble beginnings, it does not look to be society changing instrument that it grew into.
I said something nice and refered to it as a prototype. I will wrap my robotic arms around myself and give a Big big hug for me, aaaaaa....!
Science sees no further than what it can sense, i.e. facts.
Religion sees beyond the senses, i.e. faith.

Get serious no wheeled robot is going to be worth a damn in fighting fires in the real world. That's take arms (for climbing) and legs (for stepping over debris). What a joke. A better robot would look more like a spider--able to grab and go anywhere. Until then, stop reporting on stupid stuff like this.
I like to see the development of a robotic type vehicle that can get a chemical dispersant on a chemical type fire, no human wishes to get near. Or robotic eyes that can see closely a nuclear accident and perhaps collect nuclear material that no human wishes to get near.
Of course a great many fires when they first occur are so violent in nature, it would just blow away a human and robot in the situation and it seems only a human is adaptable to fight it and they often get hurt or die trying.
I am all for any type of tool that helps a fire fighter and helps them to be safer and contain the problem at hand.
Some fires, chemical spills or nuclear accidents take years to clean up. A robot could be very helpful in this type of situation.

You can't get that sort of junk in a real ship. You can't get it to work under mass conflag either. Decks would be buckled, open, matter all over the place, wires dropping, spaces flooded. Stupid waste of money.
Train sailors with that money.
@ matsci1 ; The problem is that you could put a lever-driven regular fire extinguisher on Henry Ford's first auto, and it would have beat this putting out that wisp of fire. The point is that the thing they're pushing here is supposed to be SOMEthing resembling robust; if our sailors are going to be 'shoulder to shoulder' and depending on this piece of junk's next generation to save a ship or sub. You can teach that little pile of junk for the next ten years, but in a real emergency situation; where things are really taking damage and the crisis is borderline on getting out of control, this would still be more in the way than useful.
Mr Quasi
I agree that the robot is not that manoeuvrable and a wheeled base for mobility is not a good choice in an environment that needs damage control.
However, look at this article about the PETMAN robot from Boston Dynamics that is also on the Popular Science webpage
This is getting more like what would be needed as far as mobility and the ability to keep balance in a difficult situation.
My suggestion would be to keep developing the software and the sensors necessary to understand the human partner and accomplish the mission on the Octavia model and then incorporate those into the chassis developed by Boston Dynamics.
@ matsci1; Yeah, I watch a lot of the published development and often see integration possibilities with things that others are doing, but it rarely happens in our world of structured grants. From what I can tell, we are still years away from a ship based firefighter that is worth calling a 'shoulder to shoulder' response robot. Something that is not just in the way when the tish hits the fan.

Managing Ponds
The Wildlife Department's Fisheries Division offers free
technical assistance to landowners who have questions about
managing ponds on their property. Many times, problems with fish
diseases, growth, harvest, aquatic vegetation control and
clearing muddy water can be diagnosed over the telephone.
In some cases, fisheries biologists may need to determine the
status of the fish population to recommend possible management
strategies. Pond owners can assist by providing information on
previous management activities including the stocking history
and by keeping harvest records. Sampling the fish population by
hook and line, recording the number and size of fish caught over
a several week period, can provide the biologists with data that
can help them determine what action must be taken to achieve the
landowner's desired goal for the pond.
The Department, in cooperation with Zebco and the American
Fisheries Society, produced a book on managing pond fisheries in
This book provides landowners with management tips on
how to achieve specific goals, such as creating a catfish pond,
a bluegill fishery or a trophy bass pond.
EligibilityAny landowner in the state of Oklahoma is eligible for technical assistance, regardless of the number or size of ponds. Who To ContactFor more information
contact the Fisheries Division at 405-521-3721. You may
be referred to the fishery biologist in your area for
additional assistance. Additional InformationFarm Pond Fish Stocking Program Back to Basics - Pond Management OSU Fact Sheet - Improve Fishing in Your Pond |

Beauty and the Beast: The Erotic Art of Ian Hornak showcases a major gift of drawings and paintings from the estate of 20th century American artist Ian Hornak. Hornak (1944 - 2002) lived and worked in New York, where he was one of the founding artists of the Photorealist and the Hyperrealist movements. He is now recognized as one of the preeminent representational artists of his generation. Although best known for his landscapes, Hornaks early work from the late 1960s often focused on the nude figure, at times combining human and animal anatomy.
Opening reception: Friday, January 24, 5:00 to 7:00 pm, The Kinsey Institute, Morrison Hall. The lecture and reception are free, and refreshments will be provided.

Better reasons for parade exclusion
Charles Toth, head of the Wabash Valley Central Labor Council AFL-CIO parade, claims that exclusion of Republican Caleb Fleschner from the Labor Day Parade had nothing to do with politics. Uh-huh. I have to believe that Charles' nose is growing to compensate for his shrinking credibility.
Man up, Charles. The top ten better reasons you could have given for excluding Caleb are that he might:
10 — not have a valid worker ID;
9 — refuse to organize his supporters;
8 — demand that the parade march backward into history;
7 — be unrecognizable under the tar and feathers;
6 — ride an elephant in donkey's clothing;
5 — challenge "collective marching rights";
4 — be unable to follow in the footsteps of trained workers;
3 — consider the $25 to be compulsory dues;
2 — continually whine about "right-to-walk".
And the number one reason you could have given for excluding Caleb is that he might trip over his own hypocrisy.

Common people paying the price
I will soon be 65, and I started babysitting and cleaning houses when I was 11 years old. By the time I was 16 I was working for a company where I received a W-2 and have paid taxes every year since.
I want to say this about the upcoming elections. I am a middle-class worker, now retired, and have been all my life, and so were my parents. Now, my children are also, and every time since Ronald Reagan there was a Republican president sitting in office my personal assets and finances have gone down the tubes. When a Republican is in office, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
I personally don't believe that anyone who makes over $200,000 a year needs a tax cut.
I don't agree with everything Obama has done, and I don't think we will ever have a president that everyone agrees with everything they do, but at least I have not lost what I had left of my finances after the Bushes got done with us.
Has anyone noticed how the gas prices soared upward when we had "oil people" for presidents, and now the common people are paying the price.
I have never considered myself a Democrat or a Republican, and have always tried to vote for the person and not the party. That is why I don't vote in the primary elections.

Please display parking placards
To the gentlemen I seem to have offended at Menard's on a recent morning:
I apologize for saying I didn't see a handicap license or placard on your truck. I didn't say you didn't have either one, just that I couldn't see one. Actually, you are supposed to hang them from your rear-view mirror so they can be seen. And, I don't think it was necessary for you to get sarcastic with me.
I get frustrated because I, too, have a handicap placard because of a lung condition (and no, I never smoked a day in my life). It is very difficult to find a handicap parking space sometimes, and when a person doesn't see a placard, or special license, it becomes frustrating.
So again, I apologize if I offended you in any way, but I hope you will start putting your placard on your mirror so someone else doesn't ask about it and get the offer to "feel your wooden leg."

Nina's story of life in a family of divorce is, as the jacket suggests, an "uncomplicated" account of what it is like to have two homes. It is a sad tale and reads more like bibliotherapy. Yet, we think it worth noting, since it can be a conversation opener for families dealing with similar situations. Sometimes a book can open the floodgates or at least help children know that they are not unique and that others have lived through such events.

Obesity and diabetes are caused by defects in metabolically sensitive tissues. Attention has been paid to insulin resistance as the key relevant pathosis, with a detailed focus on signal transduction pathways in metabolic tissues. Evidence exists to support an important role for each tissue in metabolic homeostasis and a potential causative role in both diabetes and obesity. The redox metabolome, that coordinates tissue responses and reflects shared control and regulation, is our focus. Consideration is given to the possibility that pathosis results from contributions of all relevant tissues, by virtue of a circulating communication system. Validation of this model would support simultaneous regulation of all collaborating metabolic organs through changes in the circulation, regardless of whether change was initiated exogenously or by a single organ.

KEEP METERS CLEAR OF SNOW AND ICE Snow and ice accumulation may interfere with the operation of natural gas meters and regulators, or may slow access in case of an emergency. Keep meters and regulators clear of snow and ice by using a broom or by hand – not a shovel.
Be careful when using a snow blower or plow to avoid damage to the meter.
If your meter gets encased in ice or if it makes an unusual noise, contact Vermont Gas at 863-4511.
KEEP APPLIANCE VENTS CLEAR OF SNOW AND ICE Drifting snow may block appliance intake and exhaust vents, whatever the fuel source. If a vent is obstructed, the appliance may malfunction or create a potentially hazardous condition, such as a dangerous build-up of carbon monoxide. Keep vents clear of snow and ice.
WATCH FOR FALLING ICE/SNOW Homeowners should be alert to potential ice build-up on rooftops. Falling ice and snow can damage utility meters or regulators. Homeowners can contact qualified roofing contractors for safe removal of snow & ice accumulation above utility meters and regulators.
CONTACT VERMONT GAS IF YOU SMELL A GAS ODOR Anyone who smells a gas odor should leave the area and immediately call Vermont Gas at 863-4511.

There is currently a second tier 6N played on the same weekends. In fact there are several tiers of European rugby which teams can work their way through untill they hit the glass ceiling. In Europe you can move freely from 37th to 7th based on your results but it is currently completely impossible to move from 7th to 6th.
Its hard though as there is absolutely no room for more internationals and the chances of reforming the 6N is about as likely as Quins fan making their own Pimms!

World Council of Churches
The World Council of Churches (WCC) is an inter-church organization founded in 1948. Its members today include most mainstream Christian churches, but not the Catholic Church, which sends accredited observers to meetings.[1] It arose out of the ecumenical movement and has as its basis the following statement:
"The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Savior according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit." [2]
The WCC describes itself as "a worldwide fellowship of 349 global, regional and sub-regional, national and local churches seeking unity, a common witness and Christian service."[3] It is based at the Ecumenical Center in Geneva, Switzerland.[4] The organization members include denominations, which claim to collectively represent some 590 million people, across the world in ca. 150 countries, including 520,000 local congregations served by 493,000 pastors and priests, in addition to elders, teachers, members of parish councils and others.[5]
After the initial successes of the Ecumenical Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Edinburgh Missionary Conference of 1910 (chaired by future WCC Honorary President John R. Mott), church leaders agreed in 1937 to establish a World Council of Churches, based on a merger of the Faith and Order Movement (under Charles Brent of the Episcopal Church of the United States) and Life and Work Movement (under Nathan Söderblom of the Lutheran Church of Sweden) organisations.
Its official establishment was deferred with the outbreak of World War II until August 23, 1948. Delegates of 147 churches assembled in Amsterdam to merge the Faith and Order Movement and Life and Work Movement.[6] This was consolidated by a second meeting at Lund in 1950, for which the British Methodist Robert Newton Flew edited an influential volume of studies, The Nature of the Church.[7] Subsequent mergers were with the International Missionary Council in 1961 and the World Council of Christian Education, with its roots in the 18th century Sunday School movement, in 1971.
WCC member churches include most of the Orthodox Churches; numerous Protestant churches, including the Anglican Communion, some Baptists, many Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian and other Reformed, a sampling of united and independent churches, and some Pentecostal churches; and some Old Catholic churches.
Many churches who refused to join the WCC joined together to form the World Evangelical Alliance.[8]
Delegates sent from the member churches meet every seven or eight years in an Assembly, which elects a Central Committee that governs between Assemblies. A variety of other committees and commissions answer to the Central Committee and its staff. Assemblies have been held since 1948.
The "human rights abuses in communist countries evoked grave concern among the leaders of the World Council of Churches."[9] However, historian Christopher Andrew claims that, during the Cold War, a number of important WCC representatives of the Orthodox Church in Eastern Europe had been working for the KGB, and that they influenced the policy of the WCC.[10]
At the 1961 conference, a 32-year old Russian Orthodox Bishop named Aleksey Ridiger was sent as delegate to the assembly, and then appointed to the WCC's central committee. He was later elected as Russian patriarch in 1990 as Alexei II.[11]
An assembly last met in Porto Alegre, Brazil in February 2006, under the theme "God, in your grace, transform the world".[12] During the first Assemblies, theologians Vasileios Ioannidis and Amilkas Alivizatos contributed significantly to the debates that led to the drafting of the "Toronto Statement", a foundational document which facilitated Eastern Orthodox participation in the organization and today it constitutes its ecclesiological charter.[13]
In 2013 Dr. Agnes Abuom of Nairobi, from the Anglican Church of Kenya, was elected as moderator of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches; she is the first woman and the first African to hold this position.[14]
Events and presidents[edit]
The World Council of Churches held 10 Assemblies to date, starting with the founding assembly in 1948:[15]
- Amsterdam, Netherlands, 22 August – 4 September 1948
- Evanston, Illinois, United States, 15–31 August 1954

- Harare, Zimbabwe, 3–14 December 1998
- Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 14–23 February 2006
- Busan, South Korea, 30 October - 8 November 2013
The Presidents of the World Council of Churches are:[17]
- Africa: The Rev. Dr. Mary-Anne Plaatjies van Huffel (Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa)
- Asia: The Rev. Dr. Chang Sang (Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea)
- Europe: Archbishop Anders Wejryd (Church of Sweden)

A former president of the WCC was Rev. Martin Niemöller, the famous Protestant anti-Nazi theologian.
General Secretaries[edit]
Since the World Council of Churches was officially founded in 1948, the following men have served as general secretary:[18]
Years | Name | Churches | Nationality |
1948–1966 | W. A. Visser 't Hooft | Reformed Churches in the Netherlands/Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches, Geneva | Netherlands |
1966–1972 | Eugene Carson Blake | United Presbyterian Church (USA) | U.S. |
1972–1984 | Philip A. Potter | Methodist Church | Dominica |

2004–2009 | Samuel Kobia | Methodist Church in Kenya | Kenya |
2010– | Olav Fykse Tveit | Church of Norway | Norway |
Commissions and Teams[edit]
There are two complementary approaches to ecumenism: dialogue and action. The Faith and Order Movement and Life and Work Movement represent these approaches.[19] These approaches are reflected in the work of the WCC in its commissions, these being:
- Echos- Commission on Youth (ages 18–30)
- Commission of the Churches on Diakonia and Development
- Commission on Education and Ecumenical Formation
- Commission of the Churches on International Affairs
- Commission on Justice, Peace and Creation
- Commission on World Mission and Evangelism
- Faith and Order Plenary Commission and the Faith and Order Standing Commission
- Joint Consultative Group with Pentecostals
- Joint Working Group WCC – Roman Catholic Church (Vatican)
- Reference Group on the Decade to Overcome Violence
- Reference Group on Inter-Religious Relations
- Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC
Diakonia and Development & International Relations Commissions[edit]
The WCC acts through both its member churches and other religious and social organizations to coordinate ecumenical, evangelical, and social action.
Current WCC programs include a Decade to Overcome Violence, an international campaign to combat AIDS/HIV in Africa and the Justice, Peace and Creation initiative.
Faith and Order Commission[edit]
WCC's Faith and Order Commission has been successful in working toward consensus on Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry, on the date of Easter, on the nature and purpose of the church (ecclesiology), and on ecumenical hermeneutics.
- Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (Faith and Order Paper No. 111, the "Lima Text"; 1982) [20]
- The Churchː Towards a Common Vision (Faith and Order Paper no. 214; 2013 [21]) after The Nature and Mission of the Church – A Stage on the Way to a Common Statement (Faith and Order Paper no. 198; 2005 [22]) and The Nature and Purpose of the Church (Faith and Order Paper no. 181; 1998 [23])
- Towards a Common Date of Easter [24]
Justice, Peace and Creation Commission[edit]
Justice, Peace and Creation has drawn many elements together with an environmental focus. Its mandate is:
- To analyze and reflect on justice, peace and creation in their interrelatedness, to promote values and practices that make for a culture of peace, and to work towards a culture of solidarity with young people, women, Indigenous Peoples and racially and ethnically oppressed people.[25]
Focal issues have been globalization and the emergence of new social movements (in terms of people bonding together in the struggle for justice, peace, and the protection of creation).[26]
Attention has been given to issues around:
- economy[27]
- environment[28]
- Indigenous Peoples[29]
- peace[30]
- people with disabilities [31]
- racism [32]
- women[33]
- youth[34]
Relations with the Catholic Church[edit]
The largest Christian body, the Catholic Church, is not a member of the WCC, but has worked closely with the Council for more than three decades and sends observers to all major WCC conferences as well as to its Central Committee meetings and the Assemblies (cf. Joint Working Group).
The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity also nominates 12 members to the WCC's Faith and Order Commission as full members. While not a member of the WCC, the Roman Catholic Church is a member of some other ecumenical bodies at regional and national levels, for example, the National Council of Churches in Australia and the National Council of Christian Churches in Brazil (CONIC).
Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC[edit]
A Special Commission was set up by the eighth Harare Assembly in December 1998 to address Orthodox concerns about WCC membership and the Council's decision-making style, public statements, worship practices, and other issues.
The Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC represents the potential for fresh and creative high-level discussion about the structure and life of the Council, a discussion explicitly seen as continuing the foundations laid by the process and the policy document "Towards a Common Understanding and Vision of the World Council of Churches".
Peace Journalism[edit]
The WCC is also a prominent supporter and practitioning body for Peace Journalism: journalism practice that aims to avoid a value bias in favor of violence that often characterizes coverage of conflict.[35]
The ACT Alliance, bringing together over 100 church-backed relief and development organizations worldwide, was born out of the merger of ACT International (Action by Churches Together International) and ACT Development (Action by Churches Together for Development) in March 2010. Both ACT International, established in 1995, and ACT Development (2007) were created through the leadership of the World Council of Churches (WCC). The two bodies coordinated the work of agencies related to the member churches of the WCC and the Lutheran World Federation in the areas of humanitarian emergencies and poverty reduction respectively.[36]
The Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance was officially founded in December 2000 at a meeting convened by the WCC. There are currently 73 churches and Christian organizations that are members of the Alliance, from Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. These members, representing a combined constituency of tens of millions of people around the world, are committed to working together in public witness and action for justice on defined issues of common concern. Current campaigns are on Food and on HIV and AIDS.[37]
The Ecumenical Church Loan Fund (ECLOF) was founded in 1946 as one of the world's first international micro-credit institutions in the service of the poor. Willem Visser 't Hooft, then general secretary of the "WCC in process of formation" played an important role in founding ECLOF. It was he who sketched the prospects and challenges for the proposed institution and gave specific ideas on potential sources of funds. His inspiration and team work marked the beginning of a long and fruitful cooperation between ECLOF and the WCC.[38]
Ecumenical News International (ENI) was launched in 1994 as a global news service reporting on ecumenical developments and other news of the churches, and giving religious perspectives on news developments worldwide. The joint sponsors of ENI, which is based at the Ecumenical Center in Geneva, Switzerland, are the World Council of Churches, the Lutheran World Federation, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, and the Conference of European Churches, which also have their headquarters at the Ecumenical Centre.[39]
Regional/national councils[edit]
The WCC has not sought the organic union of different Christian denominations, but it has, however, facilitated dialogue and supported local, national, and regional dialogue and cooperation.
Membership in a regional or national council does not mean that the particular group is also a member of the WCC.
- Africa – All Africa Conference of Churches [40]
- Asia (including Australia and New Zealand) – Christian Conference of Asia,[41] Hong Kong
- Caribbean – Caribbean Conference of Churches
- Europe – Conference of European Churches,[42] Geneva, Switzerland
- Latin America – Latin American Council of Churches [43]

The biggest response from the crowd came during Underwood's thunderous performance of her woman-scorned anthem, "Before He Cheats."
Underwood also endeared herself by dedicating a brief verse from "Country Roads" to her West Virginian fans.
Hayes returned to the stage for a duet "Leave Love Alone" and the wonders of modern technology allowed Underwood to sing "Remind Me" with a digital image of West Virginia native Brad Paisley.
The Paisley video was just one of many high-tech spectacles of Underwood's stage production, which also included large LED screens, a simulated cyclone erupting from the stage floor and an imitation hot air balloon lifting the singer above her astounded and adoring audience.
The encores of "I Know You Won't" and the popular title track from her new album, "Blown Away," were also highlights. The concert's tornado imagery was a fitting metaphor for the whirlwind of wail that is Underwood.
Rarely has a singer proven to be such a force of nature in concert, pushing their voice to its very limits with every note of every song. Underwood's live performance was fierce, fantastically flamboyant and filled with nonstop energy.

A good night's sleep is often part of an athlete's recipe to success, but less-than ideal-sleeping conditions didn't seem to impact the play of Hamid Khosrowkiani.
The North Vancouver resident took home top prize in the Sea to Sky Squash tournament on the weekend after spending Friday (Feb. 15) night in a van by the river.
Khosrowkiani and his friend Farzin Habibpour made the trek from North Vancouver to Squamish and after a successful night of action on the courts on Friday, the duo decided to crash in their van in the parking lot of the Squamish Valley Golf Club (SVGC).
"We were both out so late and the hotels were a little expensive, so we just decided to sleep in the van," Khosrowkiani said, laughing. "It was a pretty good night's sleep but a little cold."
The frigid conditions in the SVGC parking lot didn't seem to matter as Khosrowkiani picked up the Men's A division championship, besting Habibpour in the finals.
"It was a great tournament," he said, noting that he heard about the event after being sent an email from a friend. "There are some very nice people here and I think we both had a lot of fun."
The natives of Iran have been playing squash for eight years and are beginning to get noticed in the Vancouver scene. Playing out of the Evergreen Squash Club in North Vancouver, Khosrowkiani is ranked 31st in the province in the Senior Men's competitive division, while Habibpour ranks 79th.
Khosrowkiani defeated Habibpour 3-1 to take the championship.
Two-time defending champion Rob Eberhard was not present to defend his title after suffering an Achilles injury. For his part, Khosrowkiani said he hopes to return next year to defend his crown.
"He was dying to play," tournament organizer Steve Jacobs said of Eberhard. "But he didn't want to aggravate his injuries."
Jacobs said it was another successful year for the tournament, with 45 entrants hitting the courts and a fun atmosphere throughout the weekend.
"It was awesome," he said. "I noticed through the whole weekend that there was lots of smiling faces and really good camaraderie. When I started today [Sunday, Feb. 17] the first guy I spoke to went to bed at 3 a.m. on Saturday night and the next one said he got to bed at 4 a.m."
He said the SVGC did a great job hosting all weekend long and also thanked Quest University for allowing the tournament's use of the school's squash courts on Friday night.
Jacobs said one of the highlights on the court was Squamish's Paul Sutton taking Habibpour to the limit in the A semifinal, losing 3-2. Doug Bowdler, another tournament organizer, agreed with Jacobs that it was a fun weekend. He noted the C division winner and Squamish resident Mark Kerschbaumer as someone who really stepped up his game.
"Mark won the C and he really came through large," he said. "He played well all weekend and I think it was a really good win for him."
Jemma Phillips from Nanaimo beat out Squamish's Lisa Parfiniuk in the Ladies A final, with Lousie Schell of Squamish beating out Vancouver's Allison Oxton in the Ladies B. Squamish's Meredith Hinchmongh defeated Christine Woolfries from Vancouver in the Ladies C.
Other men's winners included Chris Runnels of Squamish beating Squamish's Brian Pollock in the Men's B final and Sonny Mameli of Squamish winning the Men's D division.
Jacobs added that activity is still buzzing at the club, with the spring league starting this month, ladies night each and every Thursday and drop-in competition on Friday nights. For more info on the club, visit www.squamishsquash.com.

The New York Mets finished off a four-game series sweep against the New York Yankees Thursday night with a 3-1 win at Yankee Stadium.
The Mets were backed by an outstanding pitching performance by Dillon Gee. Gee allowed one run on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out 12 and did not walk a batter, and retired the last 15 batters he faced.
Mets relievers Scott Rice and Bobby Parnell combined to retire the Yankees' final five batters after Gee was removed from the game.
The Mets got on the board first in the top of the second inning on a two-run home run by outfielder Marlon Byrd.
Robinson Cano answered for the Yankees with a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning, his 14th of the season. He would be the last Yankee baserunner to reach safely in the game.
The Mets added an insurance run in the top of the eighth inning on an infield single by John Buck, who was the designated hitter in Thursday's game.
The Mets won the first two games of the series at Citi Field on Monday and Tuesday by identical 2-1 scores and won Wednesday's game by a 9-4 score.
Vidal Nuno took the loss for the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits in six innings of work. He walked two and struck out two.
The Mets will be in Miami Friday to start a three-game series with the Marlins, while the Yankees will start a three-game series Friday against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.

Vasily Safonov
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013) |
Vasily Ilyich Safonov (Russian: Васи́лий Ильи́ч Сафо́нов, Vasi'lij Ilji'č Safo'nov; 6 February 1852 – 27 February 1918), also known as Wassily Safonoff, was a Russian pianist, teacher, conductor and composer.
Vasily Safonov, or Safonoff as he was known in the West during his lifetime, was born at Ishcherskaya (also known as Itschory, Itsyursk, or Itsiursk), Russian Caucasus (now in Chechnya), the son of the Russian Cossack general Ilya Ivanovich Safonov, who was highly regarded and whose funeral was attended by Anton Chekhov.
He was educated at the Imperial Alexandra Lyceum, Saint Petersburg, and at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory of Music 1881-1885 under Louis Brassin. He graduated as Bachelor of Laws, and won the gold medal as a pianist of the Conservatory. He was also a pupil of Theodor Leschetizky and Nikolai Zaremba.
Safonov was never a particularly successful composer in his own right, but was a master music educator, becoming Director of the Moscow Conservatory in 1889. He was also the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York. He was the teacher of some of the best Russian pianists, notably Alexander Scriabin, Nikolai Medtner, Josef Lhévinne and Rosina Bessie (later Lhévinne). He was also a teacher of Marthe Servine, a French-American composer and pianist.
After retiring from teaching, Safonov became well known as a conductor. He was the conductor of the first Moscow performance of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony (No. 6), on 4/16 December 1893, seven weeks after its premiere under the composer's baton and six weeks after his death.[1] He conducted nearly all the principal orchestras in Europe, including the Philharmonic Orchestras of Berlin, Vienna and Prague, the Lamoureux Orchestra of Paris, the London Symphony, the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and the New York Philharmonic Society.
He is considered the first modern conductor to dispense with the use of the baton. This came about when he forgot to take his baton to a rehearsal on a certain occasion; he chose to use his hands alone, and decided that from then on a baton was entirely unnecessary.[2]
Safonov died in Kislovodsk on 27 February 1918.

Dan Buttafuoco, prominent NYC lawyer and host of "Christian Legal Concepts" on WMCA 570AM Christian radio visited with students at Nyack's Manhattan campus recently. His weekly talk show features a discussion of questions about personal injury law posed by callers to the program. Mr. Buttafuoco is known for presenting BIble-based answers.
Mr. Buttafuoco, a 2008 alumnus of Alliance Theological Seminary, is also founder and president of the Historical Bible Society, which funds programs for the care, preservation, display and education about ancient and historically significant Bibles and religious artwork.
Nyack NYC Student Government Association Vice President, Lelio Dalencour says of Mr. Buttafuoco's presentation that he "was passionate about apologetics, and takes time out of his busy schedule to learn and teach the subject. This encouraged me as a business major to remain a student for the rest of my life, both in and outside of the classroom."
Courteney Thompson, editor-in-chief of the Nyack NYC Yearbook Team commented, "Not only did Mr. Buttafuoco share a great word with us, but he allowed us the opportunity to have an up-close look at his impressive collection of priceless antique Bibles."
This popular attorney with the caring and charismatic approach to serving his clients has earned a solid reputation as a champion of ethics and the law, particularly in the Christian community.

the interchangeable padding for both the forehead and the back of the helmet is held in with very little velcro. as the padding shifts while putting on, taking off, or just riding, it exposes the "hook" side of the velcro...which is the rough side. the velcro then grinds itself into your cranium.
there is a reason why higher end helmets use more secure methods of fastening the padding....
looks, venting, style, weight, and all of the other concerns about the helmet are top notch, but cant overcome the velcro issue. i should have gone with something different....
