Amazing views from Angel Island
Angel Island (view from Ferry Cruise)
You will see Angel Island from the Sausalito Ferry Cruise. Your Tour Guide will provide you a brief historical narrative of Angel Island.
The largest island in the San Francisco Bay, Angel Island is a great destination for relaxing, hiking or just taking in the beautiful vistas of the entire bay area. A beautiful, albeit small, sandy beach can be found as soon as you exit the ferry. If you enjoy hiking, a 45 minute moderately strenuous stroll to the top of the island is a great way to go. Pack a lunch or a bottle of wine, because several picnic tables await you at the summit!
During your San Francisco tour from San Francisco Comprehensive Shuttle Tours, you will see Angel Island during the Ferry Cruise portion of the tour.

Diana McClintock has a Ph.D. in Art History from Emory University (1998). Before joining the faculty at Kennesaw State University (2006) she was an Associate Professor of Art History at the Atlanta College of Art (1997-2006), and before that she taught at Emory, and at several colleges and Chapman University in Southern California. Prior to entering academia she was Curator of Education at Laguna Art Museum (Orange County, CA), and a museum educator at the Municipal Art Gallery (Barnsdall Art Park) in Los Angeles, experiences that inform her approach to her discipline today. Her focus is "Engaged Scholarship" that brings her work down from its ivory tower to integrate scholarly activity with community involvement. She has developed several Service Learning projects that provide active learning experiences and hands-on application of academic concepts to real-life situations for her students.
McClintock's current research interests include the examination of changes to art criticism and critical writing in the age of digital technology, and the continued investigation of Finster's Paradise Garden and other transformative "Outsider" site. Both projects involve rethinking standard approaches and methodologies.
McClintock also reviews for Art Papers and writes for ArtsAtl.

Internships at Kennesaw State University:
Murphy, Judi. Under my supervision, Judi developed a searchable, online database for the William Arnett's collection of African-American outsider art, easily the largest and most significant collection of this work that exists today. (Spring 2012)
Kibreva, Elena. I supervised Elena as she researched approximately twenty engravings and etchings, dating from the 18th through the late 19th century, that were recently donated to the KSU Museum. She conducted original research on the artists, as well as the provenance, historical data (for the KSU Museum permanent files), compiled condition reports, and produced an exhibition proposal. (Spring, 2011)
Gant, Mersia. Mersia researched several works of art in the African Collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum, directly under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Stephenson, Curator of African Art and a half-time Lecturer in Art History at KSU. I met with her initially to develop the internship, reviewed her progress, discussed her work with Professor Stephenson, read her finished reports and assigned her grade. (Fall 2010)
Leonard, Melissa. Melissa worked for two months during the summer under my direct supervision at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, organizing archival materials about Georgia activism (in art) that became permanent additions to the research collection in the MOCA/GA Educational Resource Center. She and I conducted video interviews of living artists that became part of the MOCA/GA Georgia Artist Oral History Project, and she transcribed the interviews for the permanent archives. (Summer 2009)
Sims, Melanie. Melanie worked for a semester under my direct supervision at MOCA/GA organizing archival materials about Georgia activist artist groups and conducting video interviews of living Georgia artists that became the first additions to the MOCA/GA Georgia Artist Oral History Project. Melanie focused on the work of the Atlanta Women's Art Coalition, a group that splintered off from the Art Workers Coalition in the late 1960s, and pieced together the first written timeline of this group's activities that is now a part of the permanent archives at MOCA/GA. (Spring 2009)
Elliott, Angela. Angela was a graphic design major who wanted experience in a contemporary art setting, so I arranged for her to work with the Public Relations Director at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. She wrote press releases, designed exhibition brochures and designed web-based publicity materials. (Summer 2008)
Crofton, Tyler. Tyler worked with Dr. Rebecca Stone-Miller at Emory University's Carlos Museum, researching and writing about Pre-Columbian Art in the Carlos Museum collection. I monitored his progress, in consultation with Dr. Jessica Stephenson, met with him several times during th course of the internship and evaluated his final report in consultation with Dr. Stone-Miller. (Spring 2008).
Faculty Advisor to the KSU Art History Club, 2010-present. (I helped the students organize the club in the fall of 2009).
One of two faculty advisors of the Visions Student Art Guild, 2007-2008.
Student Advising Prior to Kennesaw State University:
At the Atlanta College of Art every member of the Liberal Arts Department spent time advising every student who registered for a liberal arts class (the total student population was approximately 400). Each semester each faculty member would review schedules and requirements with approximately 75 students.
Student Advising At Kennesaw State University:
Each semester I meet with approximately 20students who are assigned to me as their advisor, to discuss their degree program requirements and course schedule options. In addition, since we initiated the Art History Minor in 2008, and in preparation for the new Art History Major (anticipated December, 2011), I regularly advise numerous students in all of my classes as well as outside of class time.

Spend less time strapping in and more time shredding.
Tired of getting bypassed by tourists in the lift line and snaked by skiers at the top of the park? K2's Cinch CTS Snowboard Binding offers a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional bindings for riders of all ability levels that makes getting in and out of your bindings, well, a cinch.
When you need to get your foot in your binding, simply pull the loop on the back of the highback to fold the highback and heelcup down so you can slide your boot right in. Not only does this make getting into and out of your bindings much quicker, but it also means that once you set your straps to the tightness you want them, you never have to adjust them again or find yourself muttering "just one more click ..."
Of course, the Cinch CTS is about more than just convenience. The designers at K2 cored out any unnecessary materials in the baseplate and highback to reduce weight so you don't have to choose between quick or comfy. Canted Harshmellow footbeds are angled to keep your feet in a more natural position while you're riding to reduce foot fatigue, and they absorb shock and dampen vibrations for a buttery-smooth ride.

Not so convenient
Member since
Size L does not accommodate size 11 K2 boot. I could slide in and out alright using the cinch but not the straps. On an incline using the cinch takes some effort and ingenuity . The buckles do not release easily either . Love the boots hate the bindings.
Not hassle free.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I loved the bindings once my boots were locked in them. Getting in them and tightening them to where I wanted was a different story. The back folds down nice and you can slide your boot in nice but the toe strap will feel loose. So you tighten it down a crank or two and after a few runs its so tight you can't get your boot in it. You have to constantly loosen up the toe strap but these aren't normal ratcheting straps. They do not come loose easy. It ended up being much more of a hassle than what it was worth. I felt like after a while i would break the toe ratchet with all the abuse I was putting it through. Also after about 7 days of riding I could already see some wear on my boots from sliding them in and out. When I had the bindings set where I wanted them, I thought their performance was awesome and I really enjoyed them but the beginning and end of each run was a different story.
K2 is Amazing

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't know why anyone would want the old style of bindings. Who wants to sit down and waste time strapping in? I can as i'm getting off the lift position my foot and lock in the boot without having to stop. This comes in very handy as most of my friends ski. It feels just the same as a traditional strap in binding without all the hassle. This product also has the harsh mellow footbed, combinded with harsh mellow in my K2 boots and K2 Slayblade it provides the best ride on the mountain. I have tried many other systems and have never found a company that is better than K2. They by far make the best products in the world!

Very Legit

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These binding are very legit. Easy to use and once you set them, your good to go. These can be a little squirrelly getting into if your not on a completely flat surface. But after a full day of boarding you'll get the hang of it. These bindings definitely save time at the top of the mountain. I'm always waiting on my friends to get strapped in. I know a few people have mentioned that the rear entry design doesn't transmit as much force which decreases your ability to control your board while riding. In this case, I think if you prefer really stiff binding than these may not satisfy your riding style. They are definitely a medium on the stiffness scale. Also, some dude had asked me if they have ever came undone while riding, the answer to that is no. They lock so your foot is completely secured and you can have total confidence they will not spontaneously come undone.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am always looking for ways to escape time consuming binding and boot lacing and strapping. The cinch offers an excellent design. Once you set your front strap settings, you are good for the day. I have never had any issues with this system. I have had lots of issues with burton step-ins and the old k2 systems.

Things were going so well for J.J. Putz for so long. At the end of May, the Diamondbacks closer had 16 saves and a 1.57 ERA, with nearly a strikeout an inning. In June, though, he's allowed eight runs in 11-2/3 innings, with four blown saves. So maybe this doesn't come as a huge shock:
Dbacks place closer J.J. Putz on DL and activate RHP Sam Demel from DL.
Putz is on the DL with elbow tendinitis. The Diamondbacks don't think it's a big problem, and Putz has already had a cortisone shot, but one can never be too sure, considering Putz has a pretty significant track record of elbow issues. He could be back after the All-Star break, but he could also take longer than that.
Demel returns to a 1.72 ERA over 21 appearances earlier in the year. The favorite for saves during Putz's absence, though, is probably David Hernandez, who has 41 strikeouts and 22 walks over 37 innings. Hernandez was part of the offseason Mark Reynolds trade, and so far he's been a big reason why the Diamondbacks bullpen is so much better than it was a year ago.

2.66/5 rDev -27.3%
Pours a reddish orangey with an off white head. Aroma is sticky, bready, caramel, and a bit spicy. Flavor was similar, but the flavor lingered into the finish and aftertaste and totally ruined this beer for me. I had no need for the sweet and spiciness to remain in the front of my mouth well after my sip had finished. A medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Overall, this one was not for me. Won't drink this again.

A - Served up a bells anniversary glass of this ruby bubbly brew with 1 inch head with quickly disappeared
S - Smells of caramel malt, some pine, a tinge of mustiness
T - Taste close to smell . Malt heavy lager, lots of backbone filled with Munich malt, nutty grains, some clove. Short sweet finish, with a trace of hops. Very much in step with an Oktoberfest, and an average one at that. Not really sure what Epic is seeing this as particularly unique.
M- full mouthful. Medium carbonation.
A full bodied Oktoberfest... cheers.

Labelled "Marzen #5" in the rectangle on the side of the label. 6.2% ABV. I chose this listing (Release #7) because though mine is marked Marzen #5, the ABVs and styles match up. In any case, there seems to be a fundamental problem with the way these Epic beers are labelled. 1 pint 6 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard branded pressure cap served into a conical Samuel Smith's pint glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are average; I've not liked anything from Epic so far except Big Bad Baptist.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a three finger beige colour head of fair cream, pretty decent thickness, and pretty good (~4+ minute) retention. No real lacing as the head recedes. Body colour is a clear translucent copper. Vibrance is average. A typical appearance for the style. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Looking forward to trying it. An unassuming little märzen.
Sm: Floral hop notes, healthy crisp grainy character, light toasted malt, a bit of caramel, definite spices (I guess that's a no-no in German brewing tradition?) including clove, apple, light brown sugar, heavy munich malt, and bready grains. A mild strength aroma, but a pleasant and appealing one. I don't get any yeast character or alcohol off the aroma. Looking forward to trying it.
T: Layers of munich malt with fantastic creamy character. Light toasted character. A bit too much caramel. Brown sugar, light pear and apple. Bready grains. Too much floral hopping for the style and flavour profile, but it's forgivable. Still, the balance really suffers. A simple but pleasant beer. Strange for a märzen; it's certainly not traditional. I generally like it, but I'm unimpressed. No yeast character or alcohol comes through.
Mf: Sleek, smooth, and wet. Adequate carbonation. Not oily or viscous. Suits the flavour profile in a general sense, but it doesn't feel custom-tailored to it. There are no overt flaws with the texture, but it's far from exemplary. Decent presence on the palate.
Dr: Drinkable but forgettable. A pedestrian märzen from Epic brewing. I'm unimpressed. Do they make a good beer other than Big Bad Baptist? I'm content to keep trying their beers to find out. Decent but unexceptional. I won't be trying this again. The price point could also be far better. Hides its above average ABV decently, though.

Pours a clear copper with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a thick cap on top of the beer. A foamy latticework of lace forms around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, and some slight vegetal aromas. Taste is much the same with a slight metallic flavor on the finish. There is a mild bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty average beer that smells better than it tastes in my opinion.

good and true to style octoberfest, nothing out of the ordinary though. clear sappy honey color, thick looking for the genre, lacey white head dies pretty quick. a nose of german malts, grassy and fresh in a way these usually aren't, but perhaps a little too much residual sugar in this one, its sweet as can be as it closes, not something I look for in a lager. caramel flavors as it winds down, too much for the delicate grains to handle. however, the flavors all really work, its seasonally nice, easy enough drinking, and a little fuller bodied than most, which I always appreciate in the style. I guess there are many fest devious releases. does anyone know how much this changes batch to batch? it doesn't seem like a real groundbreaking evolution of beers if this is its seventh incarnation. anyways, good not great, you have better options at the new Denver tap room and brewery.

This beer is a deep, murky orange-brown. It develops a head just under a finger tall with fairly good retention that keeps a steady foam when it drops off. Lacing is moderate and spotty.
It's key to let this beer warm. It's completely different with a few minutes on it. Aroma's still light, but caramel and breads come out, more like biscuit than toast, and there's a note of herbal hops.
The flavor follows the nose appropriately, the chief differences being that the herbal hops note is strengthened a bit and added to by a floral note as well. It's got a good balance between the malts, with just a touch of sweetness, and the hops. A touch of alcohol sting goes into the finish.
The feel seems to work in three stages. Initially, there's a good smoothness but the crispness bites too hard. It goes into a sort of ideal zone when the crispness backs off. In the last stage, it thins a bit and fades a touch but the smoothness remains. The body is a sturdy medium.

22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, bottled 8/14/2012. Pours lightly cloudy orange amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with very nice retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of caramel, apple, pear, toast, nuttiness, biscuit, brown sugar, citrus zest, floral, pine, and grassy hops. Very nice aromas with good malt/hop balance and complexity. Taste of caramel, apple, pear, toast, biscuit, brown sugar, nuttiness, floral, pine, citrus zest, and grass. Light amount of piney bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, light fruits, toast, nuttiness, biscuit, brown sugar, pine, floral, citrus zest, and grassy hops on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor complexity and hop/malt balance; with zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy, sticky, and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with nearly zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice hoppy Oktoberfest style. Very nice hop/malt balance and complexity; and extremely smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

22 oz. bomber, the side is half off and it looks like Marzen #5, but this is no way a Scotch ale as their website says. It says 6.2% and Epic's website says that Release #7 is a Marzen at 6.2%, so I'm going with that, I feel free to be corrected,
A: Pours a dark amber with creamy big white head, some lace.
S: Munich malt, caramel, solid.
T: Toasted malt, heavy Munich malt, caramel. Some earthy hop character. Pecans with a nutty finish. There is a nice balance to this beer.
M: Medium to full-bodied, creamy, a tad astringent, nice easy aftertaste.
O: Tastes like a big ol' Oktoberfest. In your face for the style, I enjoyed it quite a bit, something to revisit if they brew something like this again.

22 oz bomber from release 7 of Fest Devious. I poured this beer into my perfect pint on the first really cool night here in Salt Lake City.
Appearance: A great clear reddish copper. A thick film of sandy colored foam settles while leaving some delicate lacing.
Smell: Slight alcohol, nutty and bready. Caramel from the toasted malts and maybe a tiny touch of mint from the hops.
Taste: An overall clean taste. Round nuttiness with a helping of bread and caramel. Mild earthy hops balance against the solid malts. I nice change from the usual ales that I prefer. I really enjoy the beers this time of year. The alcohol is well hidden.
Mouthfeel: A thick almost chewy beer. The carbonation is lower also. Makes for an overall heavy beer, but appropriate for the style.
Overall: A solid example of the Marzen style. I am glad this one is available to me.

4.09/5 rDev +11.7%
Poured into a pint glass.
3.5 A: Mildly hazed orange amber color. One and a half fingers of frothy off-white head. Retention is very good and a very short ring of lacing is left.
3.5 S: Big toastiness in this. Dry, grainy maltiness. Caramel malts. Simple, clean, good.
4.25 T: Wow, the taste is just so much better than I was expecting after the nose. It's big and bold with toastiness leading the way. Not as dry as the nose either. Indeed, it has a great balance between the toastiness and the caramel sweetness. Again clean with a slight yeasty richness.
4.5 M: Heavier medium body. Thick and velvety creamy. While it is a touch chewy, it's only minorly so. Very good here.
4.25 D: Overall a very tasty, super easy to drink beer. Pick this one up.

1 3/4 cups chickpea flour
2 cups plain gluten-free soy milk
1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh or dried thyme (or oregano or basil), chopped
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 egg whites
1/2 minced yellow onion
1/4 cup Ni�oise olives, coarsely chopped, pitted
1/4 cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water to rehydrate, drained, and chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, finely chopped
In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpea flour, soy milk, stock, olive oil, garlic, thyme, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let stand for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425�F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the egg whites to the chickpea batter and pour into the prepared pan. Bake about 15 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Preheat the broiler.
To make the topping, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the onion and cook about 6 minutes until soft and lightly golden. Add the olives and tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
Spoon the topping evenly over the baked polenta and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for about 1 minute until the top is lightly browned. Sprinkle with parsley and let cool 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve immediately.

QHY9 current little problems
September 19, 2009, 07:42:35 AM »
I bought QHY9 over 4 months and finished solve the moisture problem in this June. I tested over 7 times at observation places in Taiwan. I only successfully shot one image in the passed 7 nights. At the other midnight time, I debuged the most serious five problems and try to recover them over night.
I breif write the 5 serious problems:
1. Color filter wheel (CFW): the #2 sites cannot be catch. When I choice #2 filter, the CFW runs continually without stop until I de-plug 12V power. Is any solution? Other sites are working well. So I drop site #2 in the CFW function. Another small issue is that if the battery voltage less than 10.6V, the CFW cannot park the site #1 correctly, it parked between #5 and #1 location.
2. How to uninstall old driver 0903? Because I use 0906 to recover the 0902 files but when I enter the EZCap v1.2, there is warning message in memory allocation fail. Another smaller issue: the EZCap and MaxImDL cannot be compatible each other. I cannot open at these 2 softwares in the same time. Is the driver inconsistant issue?
3. Reading and downloading stop in ASCOM system: It only found at MaxImDL v5.07. When I use QHY5 + PHP + Temma ASCOM as the autoguide system, the QHY9 download will be halt. I used relay box to solve this problem. In another halt case is the shutter, if the shutter is not function well, the MaxIm instruction sending/ data downlaod will be stopped. I can solve by unplug USB and power line to reset it. I also used a tape to hold the shutter to keep open mode. But, in some times, if the shutter moves a little bit via the wind blowing or a few vibration (my hand operate DSLR shuttle) on the telescope, the QHY9 will happen some data download problem. How could I solve this uncerntain reading/download problem?
4. The sensitivity is lower than DSLR like 300D/450D. When I exposure 15min in same nebula, the DSLR image can easily find the dark nebula cloud but QHY9 don't find. QHY9 only show the fewer stars in the screen and no nebula cloud. I don't think I set the correct the QHY9 parameters in MaxImDL. Could guys kindly share the setting in MaxImDL? Here is my QHY9 ASCOM setup parameters: Gain 91%, offset 60 or 100; low speed; no USB acitivities when reading; no clamp. Subtract the sub frame with 59.
5. EZCap saved FITS/BMP files are only 3 Kbytes. So I cannot use the files in other software. I reviewed the threads in this forum. It may be the driver incompatible issue.

I think most of the problem is that you have not find some correct way of the software etc.So it is not difficult to solve them with the following suggestions(Except #1)
1. Sometimes it will rotate a cycle then stop. Please check it. And you can also use the calibration tools and set the "factory" button and see if it is ok.
2. In fact you do not need uninstall. just overwrite the original SYS file (If guess you are install the driver in windows/system32/drviers) And please use the lastest version EZCAPV1.5.
The EZCAP can not run at the same time with MAXIMDL. Because they will accquire temperature information each second. If you open them at the same time, they may accquire temperatre at the same time and cause problem.
3.If guiding with ASCOM QHY5. I am not sure of it. I think there is some user in this forum using such setup and they may give you some suggest? Maybe you can open a new topic disscussing this problem. I will ask Mr.Tom for it. You need tell the details of the setting:
Which version do you use for MAXIMDL plugin QHY9? (ascom driver or directly driver?)
Which version do you use for MAXIMDL guiding QHY5?(Ascom driver or directly driver?)
For shutter problem. I am not understanding what you said . Maybe this is due to the old driver?
4. It is impossible that the sensitivity is lower than DSLR. The mono version should be higher than any color CCD/CMOS of DSLR, and it is higher than even QHY8 camera. Please check the following settings:
a. If you set correctly OFFSET.
b. If you stretch the image to let the low bit of image shows.
5. Please use new EZCAP version and new drivers.
Best regards,

I think it is important to note that when HW is rated for 12V usage, behaviour near 10.6V may not be entirely on to specs.
Concerning copying one file over the other , this indeed may not work under Vista as vista will just replace that file with the old one. It will as a way of protection not allow you to just delete or replace sys files by others.
In earlier posst I already described how to remove the drivers using hidden.bat and the device manager, I also made an uninstall tool which will basically tell you what software you have installed and will allow you to remove any drivers.
About the QHY5 problem, what do you mean you solved it by using a relay box? Does it mean you stil use the QHY5 and the QHY9 together using the ascom drivers but that you send the signals to the mount through a separate box? In that case again this could be a power issue. Both the QHY9 and the QHY5 require a substantial abount of current from the USB port; Maybe your computer does not deliver the full required amps and one or both of the cameras will reset (and stop sending data). a relay will take away the power needed to drive the mount and this just may be the few milliamps that are overdrawing your system. (this is just a guess though)
As Qui said, what offset/gain are you using. Maybe start of at an offset of 115 or so and gain of 50 and start from there working to the best combination for your application. The EZCp overscan area can be of help to achieve an acceptable set. Once you have found a propoer offset, you can start making a tabl for ideal offset/gain/temp fo you have full controll over the parameters but normally a fixed offset should be more or less fine for most applications to serve at a decent gain/temp range.

Hello Dr. Qui and Tom:
Thank you! I updated the driver and EZCap to ver 1.51. The EZcap looks no memory allocation fail. With Tom's recommendation, I tried to set the QHY9 gain to 50% and offset to 100. It is also work well when I took the dark frame. The signal grades are gaussian distribution. So I think this default setting is correct.
I also downloaded the CFW driver, but I have no RS-232 pin assignment. So I cannt connect via Rs-232. Could you tell me where I can get he piin assignment of CFW RS-232 port?
The final problem may be the shutter. When I took longer exposure time (600s) in temperature 13 degree C mountain, the shutter will not work well. It will keep in close mode during take the light L-R-G-B frames. So I modified the shutter to permentally open. Weh I reviewed previous discussion threads (QHY9 shutter), I am wrong to keep shutter open during the CCD data transfering. I checked that the shutter may be too close the black
circuit board
. After discussed with Mr. Wang, I add a
needle wheeler
on the circuit board. The needle wheeler is made by #30 nickle alloy line with #22 power line plastic coid. The front view is
. I took in refregirator and try to cooled down to -25
C. It work ok. But there is a light block bug because it will block some
incident light.
You may find there are black area in the image right buttom (ie, sensor left-top). I think short term could be ok. I will take the CCD to try to take correct picture next new moon.
Please give some suggestion for 8th night on mountain CCD test.

Wyoming may have had the dual trials of playing in the 2011 college football bowl season's first game and coming back from a 21-0 deficit to Temple before it in the first half of the 2011 New Mexico Bowl, but that didn't stop the Cowboys from doing exciting things.
First, Wyoming's Josh Doctson made a fantastic one-handed catch to get the Cowboys on the board despite what looks like at least a sprinkling of pass interference.
Then kicker Daniel Sullivan decided to one-up his skill position teammate by doing a tribute to The Who on the point after and doinking it off both goalposts, right then left, and in.
Who cares if Temple subsequently scored to extend its lead to 28-7 before halftime? For one shining moment, Wyoming had the two best and most entertaining plays of the 2011 bowl season back to back, and that sort of meaningless and futile exploit is exactly what bowl season is all about.

CHAMPLAIN — A Colombian man was arrested Saturday in the Town of Champlain for alleged possession of counterfeit money.
According to Chazy-based State police, Darinel Pimiento, 37, was apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the Amtrak train station at approximately 4 p.m. after a search of his belongings revealed that he was in possession of two counterfeit $100 bills with the same serial number.
Pimiento, who had been working in Brooklyn, N.Y., on a visa, police said, had just returned to the United States from Montreal by train.
He was charged with one count of first-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony, and arraigned in Town Court before Justice Favro at approximately 6 p.m.
Pimiento was remanded to Clinton County Jail on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond and is scheduled to reappear in court with his attorney for a preliminary felony hearing at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10.

Seasonal Flu Shot & TDAP Vaccine Clinics & Information
Flu Season is here! According to the Centers for Disease Control seasonal influenza can start circulating as early as October and can end as late as May. Cochise Health & Social Services is committed to providing seasonal flu vaccinations to County residents every year. Our goal this year is to provide shots to those residents who were unable to receive a shot through other local resources. For more information on our clinics please call our Flu Shot Hotline at 432-9409 or the location in your area.
As a continued service this year, Cochise Health & Social Services has maintained the partnership with Americares and Sanofi Pastuer to deliver a Tdap vaccination free of charge to all qualified adults in Cochise County. The Tdap vaccine is a combination vaccine for Tetnus, Diptheria, and Pertussis. Each of these contagious diseases can cause serious health issues for adults, children and infants. If you are a parent, grandparent, child care provider, public health worker, or in any other field/job that has regular contact with children and infants we strongly encourage you to visit one of our clinics located around the County to get your free vaccination. For more information click here to visit our TDAP webpage.
Adult Flu Shot & TDAP Clinic Schedule
This year Adult Flu Shots are available for $25 and the TDAP vaccine is free. Children's Flu Shots are free through our Vaccines for Children Program. We have the ability to provide vaccine to insured children and can bill your insurance. We accept Medicare Part B but are unable to bill the Medicare HMO and PPO plans such as Medicare Advantage at this time. If you have private insurance, AHCCCS, or Tri-Care, we encourage you to obtain the flu shot from your primary care physician. Payments can be made in the form of cash, check, money order, and in Sierra Vista only MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Visa Debit ($2.50 service fee applies).
To learn more about the availability of flu shots in your area and to get adult or child shot clinic schedules please contact the clinic nearest you or click here to view the clinic schedule:

What's Included in the Seasonal Flu Shot This Year?
The seasonal flu shot is all-in-one this year. Based on the FDA recommendation, the new seasonal flu vaccine to be used in the 2011-2012 influenza season will contain the following:
The seasonal flu vaccine is usually a trivalent vaccine (a three component vaccine) with each component selected to protect against one of the three groups of influenza viruses circulating most commonly in humans.
What You Can Do to Avoid Getting Sick:
With or without a flu shot, good, common-sense health habits are a great way for every Cochise County resident to help themselves—and those around them—stay healthy:
The Cochise County Seasonal Flu Shot Hotline number is 520-432-9409.
Cochise County Health Department reminds all residents that getting a flu shot is not a 100% guarantee against catching the flu. But, there are many easy, common-sense precautions everyone can take to stay as healthy as possible this winter, with or without a flu shot.

The power of social media
What started as a school suspension in Canon City has exploded into international headlines. It's a story we first brought you when 6 year old Hunter was suspended for kissing a girl on the hand and cheek.
Since it broke it's been the talk of thousands of viewers through social media. We were surprised how fast the story spread. So we spoke with our own social media expert to find out what makes stories like these, spread so quickly.
"I think we live in a time right now where there's lots of controversy a lot of questions parents have about the education system and I think that this kind of struck that cord," said Chris Loveless, the Digital Content Director at KRDO.
While there isn't a recipe to what makes stories spread, there are key ingredients.
"A little kid being accused of something that you wouldn't normally associated with a little kid, it's a universal interest I think," said Loveless.
And it's that interest that gets people thinking and talking.
"It's something that gives people pause no matter where you are," he said.
The other vital element is social media.
"The number of sites were Facebook and Twitter, even with Fox News, even with other big sites like Yahoo News, it's those social media sited where we're really getting all of our hits," explains Loveless.
48 hours. That's all it took to capture an international audience.
"By Tuesday is when it really caught fire we had 33,000 views. It started to level off a little by Wednesday but still very high at 28,000 views as it continued to make its way around the world," said Loveless.
People are shocked that a story from a small Colorado community is being read by people across the world.
"Social media has changed everything. This is showing our story in Vietnamese, this one is in Croatian. here's one in French, this is in Czech. Any language you can think of," said Loveless.
Even though the school district changed Hunter's record from 'sexual harassment' to 'misconduct' a man in Texas has started a petition to remove that term from his school record. It's just another example of how one post on Facebook can reach so many.

I have been using the build-in Apache in Lion (and previously Snow Leopard) to develop php sites locally. But something is bothering me for a while which I don't have an answer for.
Every time I do a request after I haven't used my localhost for a few minutes it loads really slow. The request could take up to 15 seconds to complete (even without php). But if I press reload (command+r) during the load process it starts over, but loads pretty fast. After this first load everything loads pretty fast but it stops being fast when I let it sleep for a while.
Anyone knows where I can look for the answer for my problem? Any help is appreciated!

Maintain your health over the colder months with some proactive steps to stay well in winter.
Wash your hands
Frequent hand washing is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick and spreading illness as it limits the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other microbes. Make sure you wet your hands and lather with antibacterial soap for at least 20 seconds to help dislodge germs, then rinse well under running water. You may also like to keep an alcohol rub in your handbag, to use throughout the day after touching doorknobs, handrails or public bathrooms.
Getting enough sleep is the easiest health practice to adopt in winter, and one of the most important. A refreshing sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and may protect you from catching a cold.
One study in Brazil found that a lack of sleep can result in a substantial decrease in the white blood cells that help to fight infection in the body, while researchers at the University of Chicago found that men who had slept only four hours a night for one week produced only half the amount of flu-fighting antibodies in their blood compared with those who slept seven and a half to eight and a half hours.
Stay social
Although we may not feel like going out when it's cold and dark, a healthy social life may help us stay well in winter. A study of college freshmen found that those with larger social networks produced more flu-fighting antibodies, than those who hung out in smaller groups. Students who reported feeling lonely produced fewer antibodies, as well.
Boost immunity
There are many natural ways to support a healthy immune system. Massage therapy has been shown to improve immune function and energy levels.
A well-balanced diet will also help support your immune system naturally. If you need an extra boost, Comvita's range of winter wellness products contain a mixture of ingredients including UMF® Manuka honey, propolis, olive leaf, echinacea, garlic and zinc as well as other carefully-selected essential oils, plant and berry extracts.

Kokomo —
City and county emergency crews worked through the night to assess and clean up the devastation left in the wake of what officials said appeared to be a tornado, which slammed into the city's south side Sunday afternoon.
Winds of more than 80 mph tore through the city, flipping cars, demolishing homes and businesses, and downing power lines that left about 16,000 Howard County residents without electricity Sunday evening.
Limbs, trees and debris littered the streets, causing city and county officials to ban all vehicle and pedestrian traffic until 6 a.m. today.
Throughout the night, firefighters went door to door in the most heavily damaged neighborhoods, checking for any unreported accidents or injuries.
Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers said Sunday no deaths were reported after the storm, but a number of residents were transported to hospitals with minor injuries.
Rogers said officials have yet to say the destruction was caused by a tornado, but he said officers reported spotting a funnel cloud touch down in the western part of the county.
"I think some of the damage we're seeing is indicative of a tornado," he said. "But we'll leave it up to the National Weather Service to tell us exactly what happened."
High winds, hail and heavy rain in Kokomo were part of a string of storms that passed through the state Sunday, causing damage and power outages in many towns and counties.
Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said Sunday he believed Kokomo suffered the most storm damage in the state.
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight said the city sustained substantial property damage. He said every street and emergency crew in the county and city were on scene after the storm to guide traffic, help residents and clean up the piles of debris on nearly every street.
Goodnight said he talked to Gov. Mike Pence Sunday, who offered assistance from state agencies such as INDOT and Homeland Security to clean up the city.
Rogers said local and state officials will develop a more long-term cleanup plan in the near future, as officials get a better grasp of the extent of the destruction.
The storm left area residents reeling Sunday afternoon. Many said they were just happy to be alive after experiencing one of the most destructive weather events in the city's history.
Here's what people in some of the hardest hit areas of the city went through during the storm:
'It all caved in on us'
Homes all along Hoffer Street lay in shambles, but one of the most stunning images was a two-story house sitting in the middle of the road at the intersection of Home Avenue and Hoffer Street.
Michael Gardner, 21, was inside the house at of 610 E. Ricketts St. when the storm blew it from its foundation and stranded him and four of his friends in the rubble.
Gardner said the group had just returned home from eating at their church when tornado warnings started coming in. They were on the second floor of the house, so Gardner said they should all head to the basement.
As the five went downstairs, the storm hit in all its fury, and the house began to shake as they started down into the basement. The last person had to jump down the stairs before the house started to move.
They were in the basement, but they weren't safe.
"It all caved in on us," Gardner said. "We were buried in rubble."
He said he was able to push his way out, but then he heard screams. Once he climbed out of the collapsed basement, he saw where the screams were coming from.
A car lay on top of his friend, 25-year-old Melody Vandergriff. Her head was caught beneath the car's rear bumper.
Gardner and the others tried to lift it off her head, but couldn't. Neighbors all ran over to help, but it wasn't until emergency crews arrived that Vandergriff was freed.
All five people were transported to St. Joseph Hospital. Gardner reported Sunday night they were all fine.
"All five of us are OK," he said. "We're thankful we're still alive."
Bank blown down
Jerry Smith dug through the rubble at BMO Harris Bank on Washington Street in Kokomo until he found the tattered American flag that once waved in front of the building.
He found someone Sunday afternoon to help him fold it up. That flag is about the only thing that could be saved there, said Smith, the bank's manager.
"When I heard my bank was leveled, I thought people were stretching the truth," he said. "But it was leveled. I can't believe that."
He stepped inside rubble to point out his desk. It was smashed, and his chair underneath was bent out of shape.
He did manage to find one of his business cards in the mess and handed it to television crews who stopped to ask questions.
"I didn't think it would be like this," he said. "It's bad news."
Kokomo just recovered from a flood, and this happens, he said. But he did manage to find the silver lining in his situation.
"It could have been a lot worse," he said. "It could have happened through the week, when bank clients and employees were here."
'Savior of the mall'
Most of the businesses located at the Kokomo Mall sustained heavy damage. Signs and poles were strewn all over the parking lot.
But thanks to the three large coolers at Buffalo Wild Wings, around 100 people stayed safe during the storm.
Alex Binkley, a manager-in-training at the restaurant, said about 30 people were eating when the lights started to flicker. He knew a storm was coming.
"As soon as I felt the wind beating up against the walls, I knew we were going to get hit," he said. "All our lights started shaking. All the TVs started shaking. Then the lights went out and the wind hit."
Binkley and other employees moved everyone into the food coolers. But as the storm raged on, people from other stores at the mall started pouring into the restaurant to find shelter.
As the ceiling started caving in at J.C. Penney, customers ran down the sidewalk and into the coolers. By the time the storm passed, 100 people had packed into the coolers for shelter.
"Every building except ours pretty much got destroyed," Binkley said. "But everybody here stayed pretty calm."
Although Buffalo Wild Wings' sign was torn from the building, he said the inside of the restaurant didn't sustain much damage.
And now, Binkley said he considers the restaurant the "savior of the mall."
Shelter opens
Angela Small's neighbors watched from Garden Square Apartments as what they believed to be a tornado jumped from one row of buildings to the next.
She can't even imagine seeing that.
While they were watching the action unfold, she was hiding in a closet. She was crammed in with eight kids and adults.
"Of course, the kids were scared," she said. "It sounded like everything was tearing apart outside."
They made it through the storm without out a scratch, though.
When she went outside, it was a mess. Buildings were falling down. Trees crashed into apartments. And power lines were down everywhere.
"They are totally without electricity at Garden Square," said Capt. Dale Brandenburg with the Salvation Army. "The power poles are laying in people's yards."
He said it will likely take a while to get power restored in that area, so the Salvation Army opened up a temporary shelter at its 1007 E. Foster St. building.
Sunday night, volunteers set up cots for people to sleep on. Children laid out sheets.
One little girl exclaimed, "I feel like Cinderella."
Another boy said, "This is my first time sleeping on a cot."
Small brought her family to the shelter for the night. It was too hard to stay in her apartment without power.
"It's super dark there," she said. "Super, super dark."
She's hopeful power will be restored today. She dreamed about what she would do when she returned home.
"I just want a hot bath right now," she said.

Lots of Grunt!
One of the neatest terms I have learned from my friends in this community is the term "grunt" as coined by Dave aka dirt devil and he uses it to describe power. I thought this would be interesting .. this happened last Friday as we were transferring top soil from Ray's place to my garden ..
Ellie almost had that F-150 moving .. another 1/2 horse would have done it I think. We were pulling up hill as well. Sure shows how much power Ellie actually has, impressed me a lot. Almoooost! There was a 3/4 load still in that trailer and it had sunk a bit. Ellie tried valiantly to move that F-150 4x4 but just didn't have enough weight/power. The Massey 1040 pulled it out effortlessly .. however I stick by my guns - Ellie did all the hard work prepping for the Massey
One thing that concerned me was not being able to shift properly for a minute or so. Then I finally got it into reverse and then 1st. She has been shifting normally since. That was the most blow-by I have seen since I have owned her. I think maybe it is time for some more Sea Foam in the crankcase and the gas.
As I mentioned before, Ellie really impressed me on Friday and I am looking forward to more seat time Monday and Tuesday.

Re: Lots of Grunt!
I never saw your tractor tires spin, which I think they should have given the apparent conditions there. Your clutch was slipping. It probably quit disengaging because it was overheated. Once it cooled, everything went back to where it was and you were able to shift.
Re: Lots of Grunt!
I agree. I have never seen a cub just die down without the tires spinning first in grass.

Re: Lots of Grunt!
Or plenty of power combined with great traction but weak pressure plate springs.
Re: Lots of Grunt!
I was kinda on the clutch a little bit. With the newly redone rear end I didn't want to break it. Good thing I didn't stay on it too long. It was a good try though. Imagine if Ellie could have moved the F-150 and trailer load -- some cool. Ray figures there must have been about 5,000 or 6,000 lbs of trailer and topsoil plus whatever an F-150 Laredo King Kab 4x4 weights behind Ellie. All I was trying to do was get him off of the slick part.

I had Ellie out this afternoon. After a weekend of a little rain and temps above 0C, the left overs were kinda thawed out. Ellie did a great job moving some more top soil into the garden. Ray came over with the Massey and helped a bit as there was still a lot to do. Ellie shifted nicely, at 3/4 throttle more than enough power to move the topsoil. She was slinging dirt -- nicely too I might add. After we moved most of the top soil into the garden, Ellie did all the clean up including some blade sharpening . The lawn looks pretty good considering there was 10 buckets per load and Ray brought over about 15 or so loads.
I will be checking Ellie's clutch fingers and will adjust if needed.

Re: Lots of Grunt!
Good one Denny! I was wondering when it would start! I was pulling some small brush up and came to that tree. I figured what the heck, I'll shoot some video and see what y'all have to say

Go easy to take the slack out of a chain. Keep yanking it like that and you will break something.
