Everyone deserves a Muse.
Introducing Muse, our brainwave-sensing headband.
It's a comfortable, sleek, four-sensor headband that allows you to control applications, games, reduce stress, improve memory and concentration, and eventually to control devices directly with your mind.
Muse measures your brainwaves in real-time. It sends those brainwaves to your smart phone or tablet showing you how well your brain is performing; and also translates your brainwaves into instructions to interact with content on your iOS or Android device.
The neat thing is every time you use your brain with Muse and one of our applications, you're strengthening it. And that will let you do more with your mind than you ever thought possible.
The Muses were ancient Greek goddesses of Art and
Science who inspired genius and creativity in mortals
*Everyone who has contributed at the Earliest Bird level or higher will receive one of our holiday bonus perks, This includes all new contributors too!
- Bonus brain training: Earliest Bird, Early Bird, Standard Pledge, My Brain on a Shirt and Beer on Your Mind contributors will receive bonus content with our brain training application so you can do even more with your mind.
- Source code: Developer's Muse, Developer's Deluxe and Muse Quad Pack contributors will receive source code from one of our games to get you immersed in the world of Muse even faster.
How does it work?
Your brain creates brainwave activity every moment of your life, day and night, awake or asleep. Each state is accompanied by specific brain wave patterns. For example, brains of people in relaxed states create gentle, slow-moving alpha waves, while those engaged in intense concentration generate quick, jagged beta waves.
This brainwave data may look like it's just couple of squiggly lines, but our
algorithms (and our developers) see a wealth of information
Muse uses sensors to pick up the tiny electrical outputs generated by your brain's activity. As you shift between states like concentration and relaxation, Muse's algorithms detect the subtle changes in your brain and show you those changes in real time, just like a heart rate monitor can provide information about your physical activity.
These signals can be used in a number of ways. Right now, you can see your brainwaves in action and use that information to improve and strengthen your mind. In the future, InteraXon is looking to use these brainwaves to interact with devices in the real world--devices that respond to your thoughts like turning off your smart phone when you are asleep or turning off the TV.
Muse sits across your forehead like a headband, and rests behind your ears like a pair of glasses. When properly worn, the EEG (electroencephalography) sensors on the front of the band make contact on your forehead, and the reference sensors on the arms rest on the backs of your ears. Muse connects wirelessly to your devices via Bluetooth. Once Muse is on, you'll hardly notice it at all.
What else comes with Muse?
We're including our first in-house application with Muse: our Integrated Brain Health system. It will guide you through a series of lessons delivered in beautiful virtual environments on your phone or tablet. Run through some exercises to sharpen your mind before delivering a speech. De-stress and detox your mind on the train ride home. Flood your brain with alpha waves and embark on a five-minute mental vacation.
It's filled with fun, interesting and challenging exercises to help you build health brain habits such as: better attention skills, improving your memory, reducing anxiety, building a more positive attitude and staying motivated. Our brain training integrates cognitive and emotional exercises because we believe a healthy brain needs both to perform at its best.
This illustration of a focus training app shows how brainwave
data can help you track your progress over time
We decided to introduce this application with Muse because of discussions we had with people about their attempts to improve their mood and build a more positive outlook and the growing number of stress-related illnesses. The problem most people had was a lack of helpful, real-time feedback to know whether what they were doing was working. People simply didn't know whether they were doing the exercises right. Lacking direction and guidance, it's no wonder most gave up.
This was the "A-ha!" moment for our first application.
With our background in brain-computer interfaces, we saw how EEG could provide meaningful and timely feedback to help people get past the usual stumbling blocks. So we've been working with experts who teach mental practices, fusing their methods and our technology into gorgeous, compelling digital experiences to engage in with your iPad, iPhone, or Android device.
A personal tracking app, like the one in this concept illustration,
could let you track your brainstate throughout the day
Who's behind it?
InteraXon is an interdisciplinary team of artists & engineers, neuroscientists & designers. Our founders have been working with this technology for almost a decade. The team started to come together in 2007, and since then we've been working to make brain-computer interfaces an accessible, affordable reality.
One of our first projects was a recreation of a game
from Star Trek: The Next Generation
(click image for video)
We're best known for the installation we created for Ontario at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. It allowed people in Vancouver to control the lights on Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, and the Canadian Parliament buildings from more than 3000k (over 2000 miles!) away, using only their brainwaves!
At the Vancouver Olympics, InteraXon let visitors use their brainwaves to control the lights on Niagara Falls,the CN Tower and the Canadian Parliament Buildings

Since then, we've been building the coolest things we can think of for ourselves and for others. For Wrigley's we created a chewing game competition. Every chew pumped up the size of one of their fruit flavors until it exploded with juice. The first to get the fruit-flavored explosion was the winner. We also built a game where TEDxToronto after partygoers raced to fill virtual martini glasses using their brainwaves; the winners got drink tickets to make their martinis a reality. Of course, we should also give mention to our thought-controlled beer tap. Concentrate hard and the tap unleashed a frothy cold one right into your glass.

From thought-controlled slot cars to brainwave-powered toasters. From levitating chairs to remote-controlled blimps. We've been playing and experimenting, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with this technology. It's given us a profound understanding of what makes this technology work, what makes it fun, and what makes it meaningful. And all of that knowledge is built into Muse.
Our first ever tin-foil hat day was a big success.
Other people working on EEG spend most of their time thinking about the technology. At InteraXon, we're constantly thinking about ground breaking solutions that make sense in everyday life for people just like you. It's this focus that we think is going to make all the difference to you.
In 2010, we partnered with Secret Exit to make a brainwave-
powered version of the award-winning ZenBound 2
(click image for video!)
This is just the beginning.
We want Muse to be an everyday part of your life so we crafted it to be as attractive, comfortable, light and intuitive as possible. We develop applications that address real-life scenarios providing real-life benefits, while also developing applications that inspire, educate and entertain.
Muse is here to be the guide to the wonders of brainwave-enabled technology for people all over the world. Beyond the initial app included with Muse will be apps created by ourselves and others – maybe including you! We're releasing an SDK (Software Development Kit) for Muse, and with the developers & developers deluxe pledges you'll get a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing brain waves that we use in our lab.
And please, please, keep us in the loop about what you're up to with your Muse on Facebook and Twitter. We can't wait to see the sort of things people do with Muse, and, of course, we'll eagerly pump up your projects to all of our friends and followers.
We need your help.
We've spent the last four years designing Muse and developing the algorithms that make brainwaves meaningful, and we're ready to take the next step. But taking Muse from a prototype to a finished product means we need to purchase tooling (the parts that make the parts), order components, and build test equipment to make sure everything runs smoothly. And that stuff ain't cheap.
Get a sweet InteraXon T-Shirt with a contribution of $45!
That's why we're asking you to help us fund our first production run. Muse can't start changing the world until it's in your hands, and that's what this project is about. We've been playing, experimenting and building with this technology for years now, and we want to give the rest of the world access to amazing experiences and interactions as soon as we can. Your contributions will make that possible.
Thanks for your support!

FAQs - General
Is Muse adjustable? Can I wear Muse while I wear glasses?
Yes! Muse is made to be adjustable for different head sizes. It is also made to be worn easily and comfortably with eyewear - we factored this into our design process from Day 1.
Is Muse compatible with Linux? My iphone? My Android? Windows?
Yes, absolutely! Muse communicates over bluetooth and is compatible with iOS (iPhone, iPad, iTouch), Android, Mac OS (OS X), Windows and Linux. If you would like more tech information, please see our tech details below!
Does the Early Bird perk include the SDK?
How will the prototype look compared with the finished Muse?
The prototype will be, substantially, the same as the finished headband, although InteraXon may make small design improvements based on feedback we get from testing with the prototypes to get the best possible end product.
How can I pledge using my credit card?
While our campaign has PayPal enabled as the preferred payment option, contributors may also select the 'Pay As A Guest' option to charge to a credit card without logging into a PayPal account. Please follow this link for more details on credit card payments.
I just pledged to the Muse IndieGoGo campaign, and would like to request a headband colour or t-shirt size. Where can I do this?
You can email InteraXon, stating the headband colour of your choice and/or t-shirt size (S, M, L, XL) to 'community at interaxon dot ca' (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please make sure to provide the full name that you used to place your order. We are accepting color choices for all Muse perk levels.
I'd like upgrade my Muse pledge. How do I do that?
The easiest way to do that is email the IndieGoGo Support team (they're very helpful people!) with your request. They can be reached at 'support at indiegogo dot com' (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please make sure to include your full name, the pledge level you originally ordered, and state what pledge level you'd like to upgrade too. They can direct you from there.
FAQs - Shipping Delays for Indiegogo Pledges
When is my Muse being shipped? We are using CES 2014 as THE test. If all goes well, we go straight into production and will be announcing a hard shipping deadline at that time. We want to provide you with the most accurate date possible when we have it on hand and will be issuing this update directly to our Indiegogo contributors. Our Developers Deluxe contributors will still be getting early (and first) access to the Muse SDK along with a hand-numbered prototype that is included in your pledge package. I think I got a free t-shirt when I pledged during your Thanksgiving Free Tee offer. Should I have gotten it by now? Any pledge received during our November 16-26, 2012 promotion receives a free t-shirt and will be included with your Muse when it ships. This is my first crowdfunding contribution. Is it normal for crowdfunded products to be late on delivery? Absolutely. Up to 80% of all crowdfunded products do not meet their shipping date due to unforeseen design or manufacturing delays. We are confident the delay will produce a superior quality product that will make Muse worth the wait! Additionally, we will be providing more updates of our development and production process. We want to make sure you're comfortable with your contribution and know where your money is going. If you have questions about this at anytime, please contact our team: email@example.com Why are you creating new manufacturing processes for Muse? Our first headband iterations used rigid parts typical in most EEG designs. This is something manufacturers can produce easily. As we continued to lock down our final design and tested the headband on hundreds of heads with varying shapes and sizes we decided to make some big modifications to improve the design, fit and connectivity. This new design -- working with parts that are softer, more flexible and have better conductive properties requires a whole rethink on manufacturing -- is one that no manufacturer has tackled so far. And that takes time. Retooling. New processes. New thinking. EEG is a very finicky technology so we wanted to take extra time with the design to ensure our customers didn't have to fiddle with it too much so they could dive into the apps and experiences we're designing. Your video update mentions hardware manufacturing as a cause for shipping delays, but what's happening with the app and SDK? Our technical team has been working around the clock to get Muse and all associated tools and features ready to ship. We've been conducting in-house research using feedback to build better iterations and streamline the user-experience. We've been analyzing and categorizing brainwave readings as part of our research so we can build more complex data analytics and interactions but in a way that is easy for the user to understand. I want to change my shipping address for my Indiegogo pledge. How do I do this? Before your Muse ships our team will send out a webform for you to verify your shipping address, and confirm your Muse headband color preference. If you are receiving a shirt from our Free Tee promo (pledges between November 16th - 26th), you'll be able to request your size on this form as well. If you've already emailed us with an address change, thank you! This is us double and triple checking information. Nobody likes packages lost in the mail, and we want to avoid that at all costs. Have a question that wasn't answered above? We have new ways you can contact us 1. For researcher and developer support: firstname.lastname@example.com 2. For general inquiries about Muse: email@example.com

The poem "Invictus," by William Ernest Henley, was a huge inspiration to Nelson Mandela, because he spent 27 years in a South African prison. In 1994, when he became the first post-Apartheid president, he knew that Afrikaner nationalists were bracing themselves for a payback. In Clint Eastwood's new film, "Invictus," he explores how Mandela ingeniously used the game of rugby to help his people find common ground.
Mandela (Morgan Freeman) realizes that tensions are high, and, in his infinite wisdom, chooses to set politics aside and concentrate on unification. He has an incredible idea. He believes that if South Africa could take the Rugby World Cup, it could possibly generate solidarity, which his beloved country so desperately needs. The rest is history.
Matt Damon plays the team's captain, Francois Pienaar, who's not convinced that the black population will rally behind a traditionally all-white sport. But after meeting with Mandela, he's inspired by the calm confidence that the president exudes. During their conversation, Mandela mentions the poem "Invictus" and the impact it had upon him during difficult times. Its last two lines emotionally strike Pienaar: "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."
Eastwood and Freeman make a good team. They were outstanding together in "Million Dollar Baby." Freeman garnered an Oscar, and odds are in his favor that another may be just around the corner. But I don't think that "Invictus" is on a par with Eastwood's previous films. Famous for triumph-of-the-spirit movie-making, this one fell somewhat flat. I didn't feel that immense passion, which I've come to expect from such a distinguished artist.
Don't get me wrong. "Invictus" has its moments. When team members are taken to the facility in which Mandela was incarcerated, it is moving beyond words. Eastwood shoots the actual cell, and it is utterly unforgettable. In another shot, the captain of a South African airliner illegally buzzes a bank over the rugby field just prior to the final game's start, and the crowd goes crazy (as do Mandela's security guards). And, as always, Eastwood's signature impeccable scoring is ever present throughout the film.
The last 20 minutes of "Invictus" are spellbinding. The camerawork capturing the rugby game is electrifying. But what really grabbed me while watching the movie was the message that Mandela sent to his people and the entire world ... "Forgiveness liberates the soul. It is the most powerful weapon." Indeed.

Were Employees Forced To Buy Merchandise At Prada Japan?
Bovrisse and two other former employees claim that, beginning in January 2009, the company forced its workers to purchase products. The sales could not be entered as employee purchases but had to be entered as a customer's full price purchase. That way the purchases would give Prada Milan, the worldwide headquarters of the brand, the impression that Japanese stores were meeting their sales targets. Employees were then paid back out of funds that were to be used for the company's holiday party and were marked as as "campaign" salary. But even then the employees were responsible for taxes on what was considered bonus pay and had to pay additional money. This situation limped along for a while and even after the reimbursements ran dry some Prada Japan employees were told that they needed to continue to purchase products or else the company would be forced to downsize. The requirements continued and Bovrisse says she personally bought $20,000 worth of products. Employees were strapped, they were struggling to pay their bills but were also scared that if they didn't buy they wouldn't have jobs. It's unclear when if ever Prada Milan knew about the program but so far it has denied responsibility for the program.
Luxury continues to be in flux in Japan.In 2008 Louis Vuitton scrapped plans for a new Ginza flagship store. Last year, Versace pulled out of Japan altogether. Instead of luxury stores, it's fast fashion stores like Uniqlo, H&M and Zara that are doing big business now. Forever 21 recently opened in the Ginza district where once only luxury brands flourished. In the past years, logo chasing was important to the Japanese but now many trendsetters favor a high-low approach, combining expensive pieces with more inexpensive items or pairing vintage finds with new pieces. The recognizable names are no longer quite as valuable to the consumer and luxury brands have seen sales drop as a result.

The next two months will be busy for the Southwest Area Commission and the community.
On Aug. 3, residents are encouraged to visit Finland Elementary School and celebrate the area's National Night Out, an event designed to heighten awareness of drugs, violence and crime, and generate support for anti-crime efforts and built unity within neighborhoods.
The event, which is sponsored by the Westbrook/Eastfield Neighborhood Association Blockwatch, will feature music, free food and a fun time for the family.
"We have gotten a lot of donations this year," said Juanita Kaufman, the association's NNO chair.
Even though the event doesn't really start to kick off until the evening (around 5 p.m.), she said they will be setting up for the event around 9 a.m. and could use the help of some volunteers.
Residents are also asked to vote in the Southwest Area Commission election, which takes place during National Night Out.
There are three seats up for election and four at-large seats available. Residents who are interested in running for a seat on the commission are asked visit www.columbusswac.org for more information.
As summer winds downs, Neighborhood Pride will begin, which is a week-long event where families and a variety of city departments work together to clean, fix up, beautify and strengthen the community. It begins on Sept. 13 and runs through Sept. 17.
At its June 16 meeting, the Southwest Area Commission named Frank Road, Hardy Parkway and Gantz Road, Brown Road and Gantz Road (west) as focal point areas.
According to the city, its departments will provide home safety and code inspections; street sweepings; inspect utilities and storm sewers; check and repair broken light; and paint fire hydrants in those areas.
Repair work is not all that will be going on. The community is encouraged to participate in a number of events, starting with a pre-pride community meeting on Sept. 7.
At the meeting, residents will learn about what happens during Neighborhood Pride week, as well as all of the locations and times where events will be taking place. The pre-pride community meeting, which is being held at the Central Baptist Church, 1955 Frank Road, will begin at 6 p.m.
Other Neighborhood Pride events include a neighborhood safety academy, Mayor Michael Coleman's Community Night, the mayor's community bike ride, a bicycle safety festival and a talent showcase.
The neighborhood safety academy will take place on Sept. 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Central Baptist Church. The mayor's bike ride will take place Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Central Baptist Church. Community night will be held at the Central Baptist Church at 6 p.m. And the bicycle safety academy will be hosted at Finland Elementary, with the time and date to be determined.

[JURIST] Judge Royce Lamberth of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] on Tuesday granted [order, PDF; memorandum opinion, PDF] the government's motion to dismiss the petition for habeas corpus brought on behalf of Yemeni Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainee Idris Ahmad Abdu Qadir Idris [NYT profile]. The petition was filed in 2005 by the Federal Public Defenders [official website] with Guantanamo detainee Sami Muhyedin al Hajj acting as "next friend" for Idris. Lamberth emphasized in the opinion that Idris had repeatedly refused to meet with his lawyers and dismissed the petition for lack of authorization of representation. Lamberth wrote:
Contrary to petitioner's counsel's assertion, the Court finds that it is not necessary for counsel to meet with petitioner for petitioner to validly refuse to authorize counsel to pursue his action. By refusing to meet with counsel on at least five occasions, petitioner has unequivocally refused to authorize counsel to go forward with his case. Indeed, petitioner has had ample opportunity to change his mind and meet with counsel in order to authorize his case to proceed, but he has refrained from doing so.

you are not going to believe the deal I got. First of all, it was on sale for $125, then I had a $25 coupon Amazon sent me last week, so I got the lens for $100, plus $7.50 shipment. Can you believe this deal? I still can't believe I bought a lens for a hundred bucks.

Otha Cleo Spencer passed away peacefully on a Friday morning, June 1, 2012, at Briarcliff Health Center in Greenville — wearing his ever-favorite World War II cap, proudly decorated with his 65-year Masonic pin.
He left the world with a smile on his face and memorable smiles within the hearts of everyone who had known him and loved him during his 10 months at Briarcliff. His compassion and humor deeply touched everyone who knew him.
Otha was born on April 27, 1920, in Lone Oak to Barney Byron Spencer and Flora Rudd Spencer. He grew up in Greenville with his brother Ollie Leo Spencer, until he moved to Commerce in 1938 to attend college.
The young student Otha met his wife and best friend of 66 years at the boarding house of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Abernathy in Commerce, where he worked his way through college washing dishes. He always told the story of enlisting the then-17 year old Abernathy daughter, Billie Ermine, to help with the final rinse so they could hold hands under the water. He would conclude the tale of how he started with a job and ended up with a wife. On Jan. 28, 1943, Otha married Billie in Columbia, S. C., before he headed off for his tenure in World War II.
During World War II, Otha served in the U. S. Army Air Force. He was assigned to the China-Burma-India Theater, where he flew supplies over the Hump (the eastern end of the Himalayas) from India to China. Otha was also a B-25 instructor, a weather reconnaissance pilot in the North Atlantic, and a hurricane reconnaissance pilot in the South Atlantic.
Otha graduated from East Texas State Teachers College (now Texas A&M University-Commerce) with a B.S. in 1941 and an M.S. in 1946. In 1955, he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Columbia.
After the war, Otha returned to Commerce and joined the ETSU faculty in 1948, where he taught photography and journalism until his retirement in 1978 with the title of Professor Emeritus. He is recognized and remembered for establishing the university's photojournalism program, one of the top programs in the university system at that time. Soon after his arrival back in Commerce, he and Billie had a son, John and a daughter, Mary who both attended Texas A&M University Commerce.
After retiring from teaching, Otha continued to write and work as a commercial photographer. He and Billie also ran the Country Studio, a wonderful cozy whimsical shop, which sold unique gifts, antiques and collectibles, as well as custom picture framing. People came to The Country Studio from all around East Texas to shop for unique gifts and enjoy a cup of coffee and conversation in the store's scenic and peaceful setting within the oak trees of the Spencer Compound and among the wide array of various dogs, cats, horses, and wildlife.
Active in the Commerce community, Otha was named Citizen of the Year by the Commerce Chamber of Commerce in 1991. He also founded the Commerce Public Library Literacy Program in 1991, which is still in operation.
In both 1996 and 2006, Otha was presented with the Texas A&M University-Commerce Spirit of Mayo Citation, given to individuals for exemplifying the credo of founder William L. Mayo, for unselfish service to others. He also received the university's Distinguished Alumnus Citation in 2007, which recognizes career achievements that bring honor to the university.
Otha was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Commerce for over 60 years. He taught Sunday School classes and was instrumental with the FUMC Foundation in building the new church on Highway 50.
He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge in Commerce, and in 2011 received his 65th year Masonic pin.
Otha wrote over 300 magazine articles and 12 books, including "Flying the Hump: Memories of an Air War" relating his experiences as a Hump pilot and "Flying the Weather" about his experiences as a weather reconnaissance pilot. Otha and Billie also co-edited the Commerce Handbook, an encyclopedia of people and events of Commerce and the university. Otha's last book was "That Lonesome Whistle: The History of the Cotton Belt in Commerce. "For many years, Otha also wrote the "Bits & Pieces" weekly column in the Commerce Journal.
Otha is survived by a son John Spencer and his wife Joanne of San Jose, Calif., daughter Mary Spencer of Dallas, grandson Will Spencer and his wife Janyce of Concord, Calif., granddaughter Gwendolyn Spencer of San Jose, Calif., and great-granddaughter Emi Elyse Spencer of Concord, Calif.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, and his beloved wife Billie Spencer.
A memorial celebration of Otha's 92 years is planned for a later date. Details will be provided on the Jones-Walker Funeral Home and Cremation Service website as well as in the paper.
Memorial donations can be made to the Commerce Public Library or the First United Methodist Church in Commerce.
Online condolences may be made at www.jones-walkerandson.com and www.commercejournal.com.

See picture enclosed using a conventional slow cooker as a sous-vide. I have a question: is it possible to program Phase 1 to achieve a target temperature at which temperature it will auto-switch to Phase 2. In this way I could guarantee that the cooking in Phase 2 at the set temperature would continue for the set time, regardless of how long it took to achieve that temperature in Phase 1. The reason is that the slow cooker takes a long time to reach temperature. Your device is very good but this would make it even better. Regards Andrew -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments by the developer and seller, the woodpelletsmoker: There is NO such problem mentioned above, please do not worry. The thermostat counts time AFTER it reaches to target temperature. You can program PHASE I at 70C for 1 Minute. The slower cooker may take 30 minutes to reach to 70C. the thermostat will keep this 70C for 1 minute and then turn to PHASE II. This way the real time of PHASE I is 31 minutes. |

Michigan forests hit hard last year
New analysis by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment says state forests were hit hard last year by the emerald ash borer and a variety of other ailments and invasive pests.
According to the Associated Press, in a report released yesterday, the DNRE said:
...people continue to make the invasive species problem worse by moving firewood infested with exotic organisms. The unwelcome critters also work their way into nursery stock and wooden pallets that are hauled around the state.
Lynne Boyd is chief of the Forest Management Division and says insects and foreign species are a big danger to Michigan's 19.3 million acres of woodlands. Industries connected to Michigan forests such as timber and recreation provide 136,000 jobs and pump $14 billion into the state's economy each year.
The Traverse City Record Eagle reports:
The Michigan Department of Agriculture has set up a quarantine to limit the ash borer's spread — including a firewood checkpoint at the Mackinac Bridge linking the Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula. People caught hauling firewood into the U.P. can be fined or even jailed. Even so, the ash borer has been found in several U.P. locations after killing more than 30 million ash trees in southeastern Michigan.

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes living with misery a lot easier!
Quote:Not getting this part, please explain to me:"you need to set the scope so that it is (roughly) pointed at the NCP. This would be with the weight end straight down and the OTA in line with the polar scope. ANDIf you have a Synscan HC, it should give you Polaris position after you complete setup."
Quote:Step 3: Return the scope to HOME position.
Quote: When you finish setup from your hand control, the HC screen will tell you what position Polaris should be in your Polar Finder.
Quote:1. Set up mount so it points as close as possible to True North in azimuth and your latitude in elevation. Don't worry about home position yet. Leveling the mount does help the whole thing work easier. <<< I use the latitude meter on the side of Atlas and poistion it on "42" as per what i found on google. IS that what you are mentioning?2. Polaris needs to be on the big circle in the polar scope. All the convoluted instructions on getting the little circle oriented are unnecessary. The hand controller, when the correct date and time are entered, tells you where the little circle should be (the second number in the polar data). <<< moving the RA to match that setting. Hence moving the RA so that polaris matches that data i see on HC? if so, then weight end would go up and scopes down. 2. Either use the hand controller Polaris location, which takes into account the horizontal and vertical flips in the polar scope refractor, or mentally flip the planetarium orientation in both axes. That's where Polaris should appear on the big circle in the polar scope. Piece of cake. Much easier to do than to type up. << Meaning just put polaris on the circle? Without moving the RA? Keeping scopes up and weight end down?3. So, you set up the mount, you know where Polaris should appear on the big circle from the hand controller or from your planetarium program, just look into the polar scope and put Polaris at that clock position on the big circle. Done. No crazy RA rolls, no "match the Cassiopeia/Big Dipper" orientation". Too dadgum simple, but it's all you need. And you didn't lose your home position rolling the OTA around. <<< Home positions means, again, weights down and scopes up pointing north?
Quote:Then, return your scope to HOME position
Quote:Please correct me if I am wrong. This is what I have understood from all the help above:Steps:1. Start with the mount facing north in Home position2. Home position is weight end down, scopes facing north straight3. All levers locked (RA and Dec)4. By looking at either the polarfinder software or the clock value on the HC, match the polaris on the BIG cirlce of the polar scope. Ignoring the pictures on it and the polaris small circle5. Adjust the position of my ENTIRE rig to match polaris on the big circle. WITHOUT touching the RA.6. Once its in the right position, turn on mount. And start with 1 Star alingment. And select Polaris as GOTO7. Adjust again if necessary8. Begin with the rest of the 3 Star AlignmentPlease correct me if I am wrong in the most simplest words.Thanks
Quote:Quote:Step 3: Return the scope to HOME position.But if i do this, then polaris will escape the reticle circle of the polar axis scope?
Quote:...try a 1-star, then 2-star, then 3-star and see how the GOTOs do. You might be surprised that a 1-star ain't bad when the mount is level and polar aligned.

Lordsburg KOA
[ 2/10 ]
We called in advance to reserve having never been to this area and were told we had to pay for the entire holiday weekend. We decided to take our chances and stay at a hotel if necessary. We arrived late & there were only about 9 occupied spots, clearly a ploy to extract more money. Shortly after we arrived a man came around & told us 3 times to pay at 8am. We tried to talk to him & he said I can't hear you, pay at 8am & walked away. We had not done the drop box because they crossed off the spot for credit card (we payed by CC over the phone the week before). He left a note on our car saying "Do Not Drive out of this KOA until the problem has been corrected". In my mind the "problem" is rude management & shady practices to hide funds by bringing in untracked cash. We had to stay later than we wanted to so we could pay by credit card for fear that leaving cash would result in him claiming we didn't pay. Restrooms & showers were clean. Unfortunately this is the only viable stopping point in this area.

Ridiculous price for the value. Only 2 potties & showers per building, always a wait for the shower. Toilets have an automatic plastic cover that was broke leaving an unsanitary used toilet seat cover. Showers had large clots of hair and mildew, clearly not maintained. No security, approached by streetwalkers & drug types when trying to find the entrance. Only positive was the friendly staff.

706. Court Appointed Experts
Appointment. If legally permissible, the
court, on its own or at the request of a party, may appoint an expert. Unless
mandated by law to accept the assignment, the expert shall have the right to
refuse such appointment. The court, after providing an opportunity to the
parties to participate, shall inform the expert of his or her duties. The
expert may be required to testify.
Expert witnesses
so appointed are entitled to reasonable compensation, as set by the court,
unless controlled by statute or rule. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
compensation shall be paid by the parties in such proportion and at such time
as the court directs, and thereafter charged in like manner as other costs.
Disclosure of Appointment. The fact that the court
appointed the expert witness shall not be disclosed to the jury.
Parties' Experts of Own Selection. Nothing in this section limits
the parties in calling expert witnesses of their own selection.
This section is derived from Commonwealth v. O'Brien,
423 Mass. 841, 855 n.24, 673 N.E.2d 552, 562 n.24 (1996); Fed. R. Evid. 706; and Proposed Mass. R. Evid.
706, and reflects the Massachusetts practice of making widespread use of court
appointed experts. See, e.g., G. L. c. 119, §§ 21, 24
(court appointed expert to assist in determination of cases involving children
in need of services); G. L. c. 123, § 15(a)–(c) (court
appointed expert to assess criminal defendant's competency to stand trial or
criminal responsibility); G. L. c. 123, § 15(e) (court
appointed expert to render opinion to assist court in sentencing defendant); G. L. c. 201,
§ 6 (court appointed expert to assess mental health of a person who may be

The Trainers Pool of the Youth Department
List of trainers in the pool (Click on link - updated February 2014)
Why a Trainers Pool for the Youth Department?
The training courses and other educational activities planned and organised as a substantial part of the Youth Department (YD) programme must be delivered by experienced and reliable educational staff. The shortage of educational staff in the YD and the increasing number and specialisation of activities has led to the now standard practice of calling on the assistance of external consultants. Together these consultants constitute what is now known as the Trainers Pool of the Youth Department.
The Trainers Pool of the Youth Department is a database of trainers who have worked or who have shown an interest in working for the Youth Department educational activities - training courses, study sessions, seminars, etc. There are approximately 110 members listed in the database at present. This database includes information about the members, comprising of information on the trainer's formal and non-formal educational background, their experience in training at European and national levels, their fields of expertise in training young people, key competencies and the topics they deliver training on, their language competencies and personal contact details. All members have the opportunity to indicate their 4 preferred topics in training young people from an extensive list.
What are TP members concretely asked to do?
Members of the Trainers Pool are contacted to participate in the running of several different types of educational activity as indicated in the annual programme of the Directorate of Youth and Sport. Depending on their competencies, TP members are contacted, and later some of them are contracted as:
and occasionally
Note: Membership of the Trainers Pool does not guarantee the offer of contracts to any member of the Trainers Pool. Contracts to Pool members are offered according to the needs of the Department, usually two times per year. In the past 2 years an open call to Pool members soliciting their interest for study sessions and certain training courses was established as regular procedure.
Who are the members of the Trainers Pool of the Youth Department?
The trainers involved in the programmes of the Youth Department usually have a long-standing experience of working with the European Youth Centres Budapest and Strasbourg and in most cases have themselves participated as trainees in one or more training courses offered by the Department. The Training for Trainers course organised by the Youth Department and other training courses are, therefore, the natural "breeding ground" for competent young people who later express the wish to become as trainers in the Department's activities. However, many of the trainers in the Pool come from different backgrounds and have received different training which also enables them to competently run Department's activities.
Many of the members of the Trainers Pool of the Youth Department are members of other existing networks and pools of trainers of other European institutions or organisations. Their experience and knowledge is available not only to the European institutions dealing with youth, but also to youth organisations for their activities at European and/or national level.
All the Trainers Pool members have competencies in youth work, specific sets of skills to plan, prepare, run and evaluate activities within non-formal educational context and specific knowledge on different topics relevant to youth work. The specialisation of different members varies from topics such as intercultural learning, human rights education, social exclusion and work with minorities to more skills-oriented subjects such as project management, organisational management, working with groups, etc.
The Youth Department, in the context of its training courses, offers two kinds of training contract for trainers with junior and senior statuses depending on their competencies and experience in the respective field of the course. Members of the Trainers Pool can receive a senior status and contract for one training course and a junior one for another one, depending on their competencies and level of experience in relation to the respective courses/subjects. The sets of competencies required for both profiles of trainer can be consulted at: Competences of senior trainer [PDF] and Competences of junior trainer [PDF].

The 18th annual Science-Engineering-Technology Congressional Visits Day (CVD) is organized to bring together hundreds of scientific voices to promote productive and forward-thinking discussions about our nation's research investments. America's leading global position in scientific and technological innovation can be linked to federal support for scientific research that enables American universities, labs and corporations to leverage knowledge and grow the economy.
This year's MIT delegation to CVD is composed exclusively of students and postdocs, representing current federal funding recipients and future innovators in fields ranging from biomedical engineering to renewable energy. Alongside prominent leaders in scientific research, they will carry a message about the importance of sustaining science and technology funding in academic research and education to their elected representatives. In light of ongoing cuts to federal research support, especially since the Budget Control Act of 2012 and the sequestration cuts, which went into effect on March 1, this year's MIT delegation will convey the increasing concerns of the academic and research communities for consistent science and technology research funding support.
The participation of MIT in CVD over the past seven years has been organized through the MIT Science Policy Initiative. SPI is a student organization with a goal of educating scientists and engineers about the policymaking process while exploring how science and engineering can inform policy. Opportunities for interaction with leaders in Washington exist throughout the year, and as of 2012 MIT graduate students now have the ability to earn a certificate in Science, Technology and Policy through structured coursework.
Further information on Congressional Visits Day and other activities and events relevant to science and technology policy and innovation can be found at the website of the MIT's Science Policy Initiative.

SAN MATEO, Calif. — On any given day, San Mateo County emergency dispatchers handle hundreds of phone calls from residents with fire, medical, police and other concerns. The ability of any one call-taker to deftly respond to the myriad of emergencies and get necessary information from an often panicked caller leans heavily on the dispatcher's experience and training.
Now law enforcement dispatchers have a new tool at their disposal -- a computer program that offers a step-by-step sequence of questions developed for several dozen of the most common calls. A similar program is already used by dispatchers handling medical calls.

Re: September 1st, 2010
I actually wrote some things down about this late last night and this morning. This is the date I have been waiting for this season. This is definitely a personal indulgence...I know I've talked about my grampa on this board before, and I wonder if anybody is having similar realizations as the season progresses.
September 1 was the deadline I set as my official "excitement date" for my hometown Cincinnati Reds. They've been playing gloriously and prompting hyperbole through much of the season, but this team has teased me as recently as August 2006, when they ended up finishing under .500 for the sixth of nine consecutive losing seasons only to watch the 83-game-winning St. Louis Cardinals take the division title and ultimately the World Series. Like a perennially jilted lover, I refused to allow my heart breathing room this time. I promised myself early this year that if the Reds were contending on September 1, the date that Major League Baseball takes seriously enough to grant its teams playoff-sized rosters, then and only then would I allow myself to consider their supersized roster a potential playoff one. I arrived in Cincinnati yesterday just in time to watch the Reds play their final game of August. Living in East Coast American League country, my Reds fix is usually limited to my pirated MLB audio subscription. So perhaps the sweat and the cheers I was able to experience in magical high-def form were just part of a run-of-the-mill game for this year's Reds. Three RBIs by Joey Votto, who makes a better case for MVP every time he skulks up to bat; an attractive two-run double by the Red cut from classic baseball player mold, Scott Rolen. A couple of eye-popping defensive plays between the two of them to end the game. The return of a workhorse starter in decent form. And a blink-and-you-missed-it eighth inning thrown by the most ballyhooed acquisition of the off-season in his stunning debut. With the flailing Cardinals busy building ant farms in the Houston heat this week, the Reds now have a season-high seven-game lead in the NL Central. If this is standard operating procedure for my team, I'll take it. And with September 1 now 10 hours in, I'll go so far as to believe it's the real thing. What didn't occur to me when I set this deadline for myself was how bittersweet it would be if the Reds actually reached it in fine form. This time of year now carries personal weight for my family and me, as it was two years ago this September 6 that my grandfather passed away. There's not a human being living or dead with whom I'd rather celebrate my excitement date milestone. My grampa loved baseball and had an impressive collection of red wishbone garb hanging neatly in the sports section of his closet. He understood the finer points of the sport and he's likely the one who taught me all the rules of the game when I was very young. But my grampa was a unquestionably a football fan. In my grandparents' house, there was usually a Reds cap lounging around somewhere, but the man seated in the armchair always sported a green Notre Dame sweatshirt. If a Reds game made it onto network television on a weekend during football season, it wasn't going to make it into my grandparents' living room. The day before cancer started to turn his brain into mush, my grandpa sat in a wheelchair and rattled off almost every Heisman Trophy winner since the award's inception, naming each year's winner and his position and school along with the occasional factoid about a given player's personal life or career. He missed maybe two. In metaphorical terms, football was my grampa's wife, and the Cincinnati Reds are a brutal and flippant mistress. But as the child of Italian immigrants growing up in the West End in the early part of the 20th century, he learned to speak sports before he learned to speak English, and baseball was a required part of the vernacular he needed to ingratiate himself into schoolboy life. Too riddled with health problems to become the athlete he dreamed of being, he instead turned his efforts toward becoming a knowledgeable superfan and developed his resourcefulness in ways that allowed him his own place in sports. Professional sports in Cincinnati at this time began and ended with the Reds, and so this is where my grampa built a lot of his stories by default. And these were some incredible stories. He attended his first Reds game, he once told me, at the behest of movie star/cowboy Tom Mix ("Was he an actor or a cowboy, Grampa?" "He was an actor who was a cowboy." "You mean an actor playing a cowboy?" "No. An actor cowboy.") Mix hosted an event for underprivileged children at Redland Field, and the only thing my grampa remembered is that the actor cowboy rode around the field on a horse before the game. Grampa estimated that he was fix or six years old at the time; he was born in 1917, so this was likely during the early 1920s. The World Series was a couple of decades old and Babe Ruth was just hitting his prime. As a teenager, obsessed with a new dream of becoming a sports broadcaster, he wrote a letter to Red Barber asking if he might allow him to observe him calling a game sometime. Barber sent an obliging letter back, and somewhere in the archives of WLW radio lies a recording of a game during which my grampa sat silently in the booth for an inning or two. Spurned on by his early success in the broadcasting industry, he sent letters to stations across the country looking for jobs; one responded asking him to send sample recordings. Thus ended my grampa's sports broadcasting career. His teenage years also contained in its entirety his equally brief career as a runaway, during which he and a friend spent one night in the dugout of the wide-open home of the Bloomington Bluebirds in Indiana, a story which always particularly delighted me despite causing my grampa great consternation at the thought of the pain this career must have caused his mother. He was in attendance for baseball's first night game at Crosley Field, when FDR "flipped a switch" in Washington to illuminate the stadium. He took his youngest son, my Uncle Paul, to the first game played at Riverfront Stadium, after which Paul infamously returned home to his six clamoring siblings and reported, wide-eyed, that being in the stadium made one feel "like a Cheerio". There exists a picture of my grampa clad in a sharp business suit standing next to a uniformed Wally Post; I've no idea of the circumstances in which this photo was taken, but I keep it in my wallet just in case I ever run into anyone who might, and also just because it seems like a good thing to keep in a wallet. Such stories, such run-ins with professional sports, always boggled my mind. In an age where every sports moment on or off the field is potentially capturable or recordable via sophisticated stats and audio-visual equipment, it seems nonetheless increasingly impossible for a baseball fan like me to have her own shot at a Red Barber or a first night game. All of my grampa's impressive stories were always that much more impressive to me because he wasn't first and foremost a baseball fan. What he was was a Cincinnati kid through and through. The reason that my grampa was able to witness so many moments that have a legitimate claim to references in books is because his history, the Cincinnati Reds' history, is tied up with the history of baseball. The franchise is not a legendary one like the Yankees or even a consistently good one like the Cardinals. It's not the preferred team of a lot of Cincinnati sports fans. People like to believe this is a baseball town. It isn't. Cincinnati, like my grampa, likes its mistress Reds very much. It pays her solid attention and steady lip service. It perks up a bit when the mistress wears a pretty dress and shells out a bit more money when she's in top form. But Pete Rose shattered this city as a baseball town, both by his transgressions and by the unreachable bar he set for scrappy hometown legends. Cincinnati is married to football, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the Reds are nonetheless a bedrock solid staple of life here, just as they were an undeniable presence throughout my grampa's entire life, and while the team may not have the most illustrious history, it does lay claim to a disproportionate amount of illustrious moments, if nothing else by virtue of the fact that it was a baseball team here before any other team was a team anywhere else. You can count the team's World Series wins on one hand, but one of them may just be the best one anyone will ever see. The team doesn't hold many records, but the ones it has may never be broken. Every baseball stadium now has lights for night games, but it's unlikely that an American president will ever be called upon to flip them on again. With August 31 on the books, I'm allowing myself to believe that this team may at least have a shot at postseason glory and a chance to elevate its standing in Cincinnati life and maybe even in history. If I am lucky enough to witness this, I will be doing so without a bedrock solid staple in my life, and turning myself over to my excitement date and to this thrilling team means facing the reality of experiencing postseason possibilities without my grampa. This is a sad realization, of course, but more than that it's just difficult for me to wrap my head around. The Reds have never played a postseason game that my grampa wasn't alive and in the city to witness. He was a toddler during the Black Sox series, a dapper young adult at the time of the McKechnie championship, a middle-aged family man through the run of the Big Red Machine, and a brand-new retiree for the Oakland sweep. To me, he's always seemed as intrinsic to this team's existence as the team is to the city, not out of dedication or karma as much as a sheer sense of inevitability. But these 2010 Cincinnati Reds are starting to have an air of inevitability all their own. Perhaps it's time for a new kind of history for the team and for Cincinnati. My grampa was a traditionalist, but I feel comfortable saying I think he would have been absolutely fine with that. I'm going to keep his picture close at hand throughout September, just because that seems like a good thing to do for a postseason run.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect. Last edited by vaticanplum; 09-01-2010 at 11:27 AM. |

Re: September 1st, 2010
Beautiful post Vatican! I'm lucky enough to still have my Dad around and in good heath to enjoy this run with me. He and I are heading down to the ol' ballyard tonight actually. I dread the day, and I mean truly DREAD the day that he won't be around anymore. I call him after every win, even west coast games, to re-cap our favorite moments. It's going to be a empty and sad feeling when I no longer have that luxury.

For Sandy Merrill, the past seven years have been consumed with the creation of an original musical comedy called âAll For A Song.â Merrill, long a respected Nashville crooner, took it upon himself to learn to be a playwright, reading 45 books, consulting with the famed Jimmy Roberts and moving through more than 30 versions of âAll For A Songâ before bringing the thing to fruition.
Now, âAll For A Songâ is playing at Chaffinâs Barn Dinner Theatre through August 18 and winning raves from audiences. Merrillâs production tells the story of a struggling songwriter in the heyday of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr.
âMy whole life has been about singing the type of music they sang,â Merrill told us back in 2012, when he was workshopping âAll For A Song.â âAnd about finding out who they were as people, what they contributed and what they had to pay to make those contributions.â
Shows at the Theatre (8204 Highway 100) are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m., with dinner from 6-7:30 p.m. Thereâs also a Thursday matinee at noon and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Ticket prices vary, with information available at www.dinnertheatre.com and reservations available by calling (615) 646-9977.

Creamy Tomato Sauce with Pasta
Lightning Linguine
We named this lightning because you can make it a flash! In the true Italian manner, the dish is sparsely sauced keeping the emphasis on the pasta. Buy a bag of prewashed baby spinach to keep the preparation time down.

There are certain news stories we one cannot help but muse on all the absurd potentialities. One such story is one that came through a news letter to which I subscribe. It is an article in The Republic, in Columbus Indiana, where it reports that the Texas Legislature may allow employees to bring their guns to work with them. That's right. They can bring their guns, potentially, as long as they leave…
