Hey Disturbed, you guys are
Hey Disturbed, you guys are amazing, i am a complete total fan of you guys. Your music has inspired me to write my own songs and poetry, and to sing, it would be a dream of mine to join a band and sing in front of thousands of people every night. Your music has helped me through some really tough times, and those times of pain and sorrow come out in my writing. My question for you is: "Many artists have a calling towards music, did you any of you guys experience that? If so what was it like?

I still Haven't found what I'm looking for actually brought a tear to my eye, I fell in love with it instantly. Do you make a conscious decision to cover songs that you know you will cover well, or is it a case of choosing songs you WANT to cover?

Whether it's an oil boom or an influx of tech jobs, the populations of these 10 cities grew faster than in any other major metro area between July 2012 and July 2013, according to data from the Census Bureau.
A thriving university town with one of the best live music scenes in the country, Austin's youthful, creative vibe keeps people coming.
With it's more than 250 live music venues and festivals like its famed South by Southwest (or SXSW) Austin's "cultural vibrancy helps to drive the economy in a big way," said demographer Ryan Robinson.
Another driver: Jobs.
Austin's massive University of Texas, with its 50,000-plus enrollment, is known for its engineering and computer science programs, which have spawned many local tech businesses and incubators. It has also attracted a number of big tech companies -- Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOAV), Facebook (FB), Intel (INTC) -- looking to recruit young talent.
In January, the city's unemployment rate fell to 4.7%, the lowest of any metro area with a population of one million or more.

Baseball Drops Home Game to St. Andrews
March 12, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University baseball team could not string together enough runs Wednesday afternoon as they drop a non-conference matchup to St. Andrews. Despite taking the early 2-1 lead, the Falcons gave up seven unanswered runs as they dropped the contest 8-2. With the loss the Falcons fall to 14-9 and St. Andrews improves to 11-8.
After stranding the game's first run in the bottom of the first, the Knights struck for one run on two hits in the top of the second to take a 1-0 lead.
The Falcons responded in the bottom of the third inning as they scored two runs on three hits. The inning began with back-to-back singles by Kevin Price and Jon Gray. Next up to bat was Cole McGraw who singled up the middle to plate the Falcons first run. With runners at the corners and Tyler Summers up to bat, the Falcons succeeded in a double steal as McGraw took second and Gray scored. This proved to be the Falcons final run of the game as they took a 2-1 lead into the top of the fourth inning.
The Knights responded quickly as they scored two unearned runs on two hits and one error to regain the lead 3-2, a lead that would never be relinquished. St. Andrews went on to plate five more runs over the duration of the next three innings, to extend their lead to six runs.
St. Andrews's Kyle Schade led all players in the hit column with three hits on the game. Pfeiffer had three players hit .500 as Summers, Price, and Dylan Goodman each went 2-for-4.
Freshman Craig Jacobelli earned the call on the mound as he pitched four and two-thirds inning, giving up six runs, one earned, on just four hits. With the outing, Jacobelli falls to 0-1 on the season.
Max Everingham earned the win for the Knights as he pitched seven innings giving up two earned runs on eight hits. Everingham improves to 2-1 on the season with the win today.
The Falcons return to action Friday, March 14 as they travel to conference foe Mount Olive. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m.

The highest-paid 10 percent of Southern California Edison employees earned at least $418.8 million in combined total compensation during 2011, and charged at least $11.8 million to their expense accounts, according to a report the public utility filed with the state.
SCE's most recent annual report showed 19 executives and other SCE employees received more than $1 million in total compensation during 2011, and at least 130 others received $300,000 or more in total compensation. The 2,094 employees who earned at least $125,000 (but less than $250,000) in base salary racked up a combined $10.5 million in business expenses.
Four of the employees charged more than $100,000 to their business expense accounts, with the top-spender, identified only as "Manager 3," charging $192,402, according to the report. The median expense total for the 2,094 employees was $3,358.
What specific items employees and executives charged to their accounts is anyone's guess -- at least right now -- because SCE declined to provide documentation or details of spending. Instead, SCE officials provided general comments in a written statement.
"Sometimes employee-related business expenses are incurred and charged to credit cards for a group of individuals or a department, including the expenses charged by the individuals who have been identified," the statement said. "These charges are reported under the employee responsible for the company issued credit card. Charges are recorded to either ratepayer or shareholder accounts, based on the business activity for which it is incurred."
SCE officials did not say which expenses charged by individual employees reflected business expenses for other employees, nor did they say which expenses -- or what percentage of expenses -- were charged to shareholder accounts.
Ratepayer advocates said the reports suggest some SCE employees may be living the high life at ratepayers' expense.
"Overall, when you look at this you have the sense of a company that is living high on the hog," said Mindy Spatt, spokeswoman for nonprofit ratepayer advocate group, The Utility Reform Network, or TURN. "Their executives have huge salaries and huge expense accounts."
"The majority of the money these highly-paid executives are getting comes right out of ratepayers' pockets," Spatt said. "Most of their expenses are billed to ratepayers, too."
SCE ratepayers covered most or all of the employees' compensation and expenses, according to documents the utility filed with the state. And ratepayers kicked in part of the total compensation for a handful of executives shared by SCE and related companies -- including the top official at SCE's parent company, Edison International, who earned $10.8 million in 2011 and charged $334,272 to his expense account.
Peter Thomas Dietrich, SVP and Chief Nuclear Officer responsible for overseeing SCE's nuclear business at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, earned $1,291,869 in total compensation in 2011, according to the report. His total compensation included a performance-based annual bonus of $288,264.
Not included in Dietrich's total compensation was a $350,000 hiring bonus, a $75,000 housing stipend, a moving and mileage expense payment of $342,910, and $89,624 in charges to his expense account, the report said. With total compensation, that all adds up to about $2 million (not including business expenses) -- if you're counting, which we tend to do.
Dietrich replaced Ross Ridenoure, who left his post for the good of the station after allegations of deep distrust between some employees and management at the plant surfaced in 2010.
Ridenoure received a cash severance payment of $581,095 upon his departure, as well as $31,702 in relocation expenses, according to SCE's 2010 compensation report. Neither figure was included in his total compensation, which could not be determined based on the figures listed in the report because his name was redacted.
Two unnamed employees with the "SVP and Chief Nuclear Officer" title were listed as employees who retired, were fired, died, or were taking a leave of absence in 2010, according to SCE's 2010 compensation report. The employees received total compensation of $283,824 and $2,557,014, respectively.>

Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to sample Entre Naranjos.
I sampled all of them but still waiting for the shipment. A bunch of these sound extremely interesting...I also find the presentation to be quite stunning.
Only launching with 14 fragrances! Is this Montale in disguise?
Thanks for letting us know. In fact, some note combinations seem indeed, at least in words (since I haven't tried any scents), a promise of almost dreamlike beauty.
There does seem to be a *lot* of scents in the initial lineup, and that is a bit of a "yellow flag"... That said, most of them do sound very interesting, so maybe that is a good thing? I'll give these all a sniff in time for sure. Thanks for the heads' up Alfa!

Hello everyone! I am also exploring this line. I have some more information;
The Perfumer;
"Ramón Monegal is a very recognized Spanish perfumer, with an experience over 35 years. He was the owner and the Creative Director of Myrurgia, the greatest Spanish fragrance company over many years. In 2000, Myrurgia was sold to Puig Group (Carolina Herrera, Nina Ricci, Prada...)
In 2009, and tired of commercial perfumery, Ramón decided it was the time to do what he could never do: to create his own brand, with all his passion, love and experience, without any kind of limitations to create exactly that he wants, using the most exclusive, rare and expensive raw materials. The consequence is a very special, exceptional and original collection composed of 14 fragrances, including several exclusive Oud woods, an impressing amber, an incredible Iris, roses, tuberous, tonka bean, cotton, leathery notes….
The 50 ml is our icon and international image. We named it "Inkwell", because with every fragrance you can write a single and beautiful history, and it has been 100% designed by Mr. Monegal, using the best materials as semiautomatic glass, zamak and baquelite."
I hope that is helpful. Also I have some samples that I can share. I'll start a share thread soon, after I come back from holiday. Keep an eye out!!
Meantime, as Alfarom said, Aus Liebe Zum Duft/First in Fragrance have them.
PS: The "Inkwell" bottle is really special, beautifully designed, lovely materials, great quality and with a lovely heft to it. It comes in a Bakelite Cannister. It is really a lovely object. Very desirable actually. It leans to the masculine I think. I am sure that the boys will love it!! And the girls too!!
I contacted with Monegal´s boutique four months ago and they had kindly send me free samples from all his fragrances except Kiss my name (you can see the photo in February 2011 purchases thread). I know that nowadays they´re preparing a samples program to sell it.
My general opinion is that Ramon Monegal have good fragrances, but compared with another niche scents its needs to have "something more". I suppose this "something more" will come with the experience, after all this house have only 5 or 6 years of life.
Respect to the fragrances, the ones that have a unique smell and I like the most are Lovely Day, Black Suit and Impossible Iris. However, as the entire collection, they need more longevity and projection (I think longevity is more important). Umbra smells similar to Terre d´Hermés (a friend of mine found similarities with Red Vetiver too) and if you take Montale´s Blue Amber and delete the bergamot, you´ll have some similar to Ambra di Luna (amber here is very potent).
- A lot of people thinks that they live when the only thing they do is simply exist.
Thanks for your thoughts CG. Have you tried their leathers?
Some more - i think very interesting - information about Ramon Monegal:
"Ramón Monegal is part of the history of Barcelona and one of Spain's most important perfumers and is the fourth generation of the family that founded Myrurgia S.A. Ramón trained between 1972 and 1976 in "maison Myrurgia", in Geneva with his mentor Maitre Parfumeur Arturo Jordi Pey (Firmenich), then in Grasse with M. P. Marcel Carles (Roure Bertrand and Argeville) and finally in Paris with M. P. Pierre Bourdon (Takasago and Fragrances Resources) and M. P. Max Gavarry (I.F.F.). In 1979 he created his first successful perfume, Alada, at Myrurgia, which went on to be a market leader for many years..." ((c) ausliebezumduft.de)
I own "Umbra" and all I can say is: this is potent stuff! I cannot complain about bad longevity and sillage at all - this lasts on me for many hours! Sprayed the first time I also had the impression the fragrance would smell like a mix between Montale's Red Vetyver and Chopard's Noble Vetiver. But being happy to smell slight similarities we must not forget that these are completely different fragrances! At least once it settled down there are not really many similarities left.
So instead building up prejudices against a new brand without reason (I know it's a lot of fun doing that ) better just check this fragrances out with an open mind.

wow sounds very interesting we need more spanish fragrances!!!!
Our first mini review is in!!
Entre Naranjos;
Naranjos. What an appropriate introduction to a Spanish line! It opens with Neroli, Orange, Petigrain. The overall effect is of the most uplifting neroli, clean and clear as crystal. There is a hint of orange there, and that wonderful slightly woody/herbal quality of petigrain. It is very light. Lovers of traditional Eau De Cologne will really appreciate this.
Then it unexpectedly develops into a very soft skin scent. I liked that actually. The Eau de Cologne opening then a twist. Ambergris they say? Well I don't know, but to me an ambery phase which retains some orange and then the slightest hint of patchouli. Delightful!
I am going to say something about projection and longevity in relation to this fragrance in particular. This fragrance is feather light and after a fleeting opening it wears very, very close to the skin. At first I thought that this meant that it lacked something but I have tried it a few times now and I have completely changed my mind. You know you cant judge everything with the same yardstick. It is not a powerhouse fragrance and it is not meant to be. It is a whisper of a thing, as light as a breeze. Sometimes it is better to whisper than to shout, and I think that this is actually the essence of this fragrance. It is elegant and very discreet. It would make a beautiful addition to ones wardrobe for those times when a beautiful cologne is just the thing for that moment.
It is completely androgynous.

The only feel I can remember is about Cuirelle. It was a sweet leather (The sweet feeling was over the leather note) wich results me a little strange contrast. As I said, give me some few hours.

Still waiting for my samples that should be here anytime now...any further experiences anyone?
I´m glad you like Cuirelle, Foustie. I have the misfortune of the Monegal´s patchouly gives me a headache (as Mon Pachouly do too) and that´s a note at least as present as leather on this fragrance. I still waiting your opinions about another Monegal´s fragrances when you try it.
Alfarom, what samples did you order?
- A lot of people thinks that they live when the only thing they do is simply exist.
The fourteen samples and a full bottle of Agar Musk finally made it here...full report will follow soon....
Thanks for the info and photo´s. Sounds very interesting. I will look out for these.
I´ve learned so much from my mistakes that I´m thinking of making some more.....

Some comments about The Collection;
I am still getting to know my samples. (I'm not fast). But I think that I am getting some overall impressions of the collection. The words that keep popping into my head are, chic, and refined, but I wouldn't want you to think that this means that they are very "serious" or humourless. Quite the contrary in my view. I think that there is actually quite a bit of fun in this range too! Whether that was Mr Monegal's intention, or whether he would agree or disagree with that view I wouldn't know, but that is how I find them.
The range is diverse. But there is also a definate signature, a deftness of hand, an elegant restraint, in my humble opinion. There is also a really interesting aspect that I am discovering, and it will be great when you all have the chance to try them and hopefully we can chat about this; it is about the treatment of the basenotes. Lets say in the use of the patchouli, and the oud, which are usually very dense. Here they are not, so that, for example the Agar Musk has butch smoky, creosote notes but it wears with a sort of transparency.
See you later..
welcome back Foustie
I've rapidly tested Umbra on my skin today. First impression is that the fragrance is good. I don't get the comparison with Terre D'Hermes. To me Umbra is a dry, kinda sweet-balmy, woody-mossy vetiver. Closer in concept to Fat Electrician, Vetiver Oriental or even Vetiver Tonka but very different in the execution which result somewhat more "classic" (expecially during the drydown). Fans of old-school restrained mascluines should check this one out.
To be completely honest, it actually opens with a modern accord of green fresh vetiver and pepper to then quickly evolve into a sweeter woody-mossy balsamic drydown that's definitely more old-fashioned.
Impossible Iris;
I am absolutley blown away by this one! Now I do like Iris anyway and I have a few, but this is incredible. Iris and Raspberry!! What do we think about that? Let me try to tell you about it.
To try to describe it for you, I compared it to several other Iris fragrances. So, the opening of Impossible Iris sits quite closely to Heeley's Iris De Nuit in terms of tonality. It is an airy Iris, not rooty. There the similarity ends as the Heeley quickly becomes violets and musk and the Monegal veers off in a different direction altogether. It develops a "fruity" quality. Now I don't mean generic fuity, not at all. When I was "playing" with Impossible Iris at first I kept thinking, "what is that" and all of a sudden I realised that it was raspberry! Looking at the published list of notes, there it is! Frambois. The raspberry note is a standout feature, a delightful surprise.
Impossible Iris is well named. It is Iris all right but it is never rooty or earthy. It continues to climb the scales in fact. The development holds interest. In the mid development the ylang perhaps contributes to the fruity facets of this fragrance. The Jasmine is not at all dominant, not obvious to me in fact, so it plays more of a supporting role. There is a richness in the mid development which perhaps edges Impossible Iris further away from the Heeley and a little closer to Malle's Iris Poudre (minus the poudre!). I must stress that Impossible Iris is not at all powdery but at that stage it is as rich, rounded, and interesting as Iris Poudre. There is cassie in Impossible Iris. Is this what coaxes the Iris into warmer, friendlier, more approachable territory? This Iris is not aloof. Beautiful yes, very, but not vain.
To me the fragrance continues to reach clearer, higher notes in development. Then we have a persistent drydown, cedar and is there some vetiver too? Actually, I pick up a dry, ghostly breeze of wood at various stages in the development of Impossible Iris.
Impossible Iris is full of wonderful contradictions. It is airy yet has body, it is juicy yet dry, clear yet rich, it is friendlier than many Iris fragrances, but still sophisticated. It has fun! It strikes me as the most beautifully composed fragrance, the whole, well....shines.
Today, for me, it is Iris, Raspberry, and wood. Fabulous.
Sillage is good. Longevity is excellent. I applied some at bed time last night and I woke up to it this morning.
The Iris is one of the standouts of this collection for me. It strikes me as a fresh and new interpretation. I am having this one!
CardaGiorgio. I think that you said that the Iris was one of your favourites. Are my impressions anything like yours? Or different. Please let us know.

Terrific review Foustie.
Amazing review, Foustie. I must to confess that Imposible Iris is in my opinion one of the best smells from Monegal´s line because I only perceive the iris surrounded by another notes that I´ve not been able to describe. Now, after reading your review, I realized that maybe you´re right.
I can´t say that I perceive the same like you, because you´ve perceived more notes than me. Basically, our opinions are equal.
- A lot of people thinks that they live when the only thing they do is simply exist.
My FB of Impossible Iris arrived from Aus Liebe Zum Duft yesterday! The Bakelite cannister is a great feature, and also very practical as it protects the fragrance from light. The "Inkwell" bottle is really impressive. A lovely thing to handle. Do you like it?
(Grrrr, still haven't worked out how to make pics bigger here, just click on them!!)

How do youre getting samples? Im interested in their line.
Aus Liebe Zum Duft have them Daniel. Or you could e mail the Company. I have some which I can share. I am going to do a share thread this weekend if I have time.
Unfortunately, it does not appear they will ship to the US.
I was actually delivering some Xerjoff stock to Luckyscent two weeks ago and was speaking to franco. He had these there. I tested a few of them. Vey nice stuff. Looks like they are working on getting it into their store soon.
Foustie, great review of the Impossible Iris! You make me want to get a bottle immediately, it sounds beautiful and most appealing!
hello everyone, today I tried White Musk...a two liner review...
What starts with a blast of sharp gardenia and sweet vanilla, soon morphes into a very elegant yet understated clean musk with woody/resiny undertones. Definitely modern, easy to wear and smooth. Simple and light yet somewhat distinctive. If you like white musks, this is well worth checking out.
Perfectly unisex.
I can confirm that Luckyscent will have these in stock next month
Glad to hear, so more people will have the opportunity to put their noses on these fragrances...

GeMS News
|Dec. 2014
December run 2014
The november run had to be canceled due to laser issues. With the help of an external consultant, our engineers have been able to bring back to a stable 35W level. Classical nights with observers coming from ANU (Australia) and LAM(France) have been very succesful. We made some good progress on the regular queue as well.
|June-Sept. 2014
Winter Shutdown 2014
As last year, GeMS/GSAOI have been removed from the telescope and brought back to the instrument lab. during the winter shutdown. A comprehensive campaign of optical tests pointed to field stops misalignements in the LGSWFS. Re-alignment of the LGSWFS has consequently been done. Despite the bad weather, it has successfully tested during ourSeptember run.
|June-Sept. 2013
Winter Shutdown
GeMS/GSAOI have been removed from the telescope and brought back to the instrument lab. for the winter shutdown. Work on GeMS will cover a re-alignment of the NGS and LGSWFS, the BTO and the Laser. GSAOI will be upgraded with new motors for the filter wheels. All systems are to be back on-sky early September.
|January to June 2013
System Verification and first queue semester
In the period from January 2013 to June 2013, GeMS was used around 8night / month to run science. First the System Verification programs, and then the 13A programs were executed. A total of around 150hours of science images has already been delivered by the system. SV data are publicly available at http://www.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/gsa/sv/dataSVGSAOI_v1.html and a press release summarize the nice images already obtained: http://www.gemini.edu/node/12028
|26th of December to 1st of January 2013
Last GeMS run of 2012 - Starting some SV
During the very last run of 2012, we have been able to start some of the SV observations. Among others, a very nice field was observed: the Orion bullets. Check the following press release for all the details:http://www.gemini.edu/node/11925
|November 2012 to December 2012
GeMS back on sky: objective ends of commissioning
Between November and December 2012, GeMS will be working on sky, for 4 commissioning runs. These runs will be the lasts one to finish commissioning, and start the transitions toward System Verification and operations for 13A. First runs are dedicated to the Laser Guide Star Facility, while the next runs are dedicated to performance optimizations, stabilization, and GSAOI science commissioning.
|1st June 2012 - 1st November 2012
GeMS winter shutdown
For the second year, GeMS will be in winter shutdown for the period June to November. This shutdown aims at fixing and upgrading sub-systems, based on experience gathered on-sky. On the menu for this year: automation of motors on the laser bench, re-alignment of the laser bench, changing motors on the BTO, commissioning of new beam splitters in Canopus, full re-alignment of the Laser Guide Star WFS, potential upgrade for the Natural Guide Star WFS, and transmission measurement and cleaning of all optics !
|20 Mar. 2012
Call for community commissioning targets
See the following call for a first opportunity to use GeMS/GSAOI.
See: http://www.gemini.edu/node/11800 For all the details
|8-15 Mar. 2012
10th commissioning run: GeMS with GMOS-S
Due to issues with the cooling of GSAOI, we used GeMS with GMOS. Although the combination of GMOS and GeMS is not intended to be offered as a standard mode in the immediate future, this image is useful for commissioning/verification purposes and demonstrates the capabilities of GeMS over a broad spectral range. It also hints at what is possible with a ground-layer adaptive optics system. Good performance were obtained, with Full Width Half Max (FWHM) of as good as 0.08 arcsec in i-band.
|12-20 Dic. 2011
7th commissioning run: GeMS is working !
This was (so far) the best run we had. The main goal of this run was to demonstrate that GeMS is working, and it is working well.
See: http://www.gemini.edu/node/11715 For all the details
|9-15 Nov. 2011
6th commissioning run.
Back on sky for this 6th commissioning run. Goal is to check that
everything that was working is still working, and that the new upgrades
from the shutdown are operational.
|7&8 Nov. 2011
Canopus & GSAOI are respectively back at the telescope
After a five-month marathon or hard engineering work on both instruments, they are back at the telescope on schedule.
The Fast-Steering Array (FSA) has been fully re-designed, re-constructed and re-implemented
In summary it has been a very intense period during which many activities were orchestrated in parallel, and which eventually result in a more reliable and better performing system.
|1st Jun. 2011
Planned five-month rework period
In early June 2011, GeMS entered a planned five-month rework period and the 10th of June, Canopus was removed from the telescope and installed in the instrument lab of Cerro Pachon. This shutdown was planned to perform upgrades of subpackages that were deliberately put aside when we decided to go on the telescope end of last year. It also appeared to be the perfect opportunity to fix, repair and upgrade many systems based on the experience that was acquired on-sky, taking advantage of the winter time in Chile less favorable to AO observations.
GeMS is scheduled to be back at the telescope on November.
|16-22 May. 2011
5th and last commissioning
5th and last commissioning of this first period. Unfortunatly it was a difficult commissioning run, extract from the GeMS blog:
Autopsy of a run - on May 24, 2011 2:39 PM
|15-21 April. 2011
4th commissioning run of 2011
4th commissioning run of 2011: when everything starts to work together and the first image came out of GeMS !
Here is the status of the system during this recording:
What is that exactly and what can I see?
More info here
|21-27 March. 2011
Starting the 3rd commissioning run
Starting the 3rd commissioning run: goals are to finish all the LGSF functionalities and start the Canopus commissioning.
"Very good progress tonight. We went throught a lot of offloads debugging, and closing loops.
For more info you can download a special Gemini Focus (March 2011)
|20-26 Feb. 2011
Starting the 2nd run of the Laser Guide Star facility (LGSF) / GeMS commissioning.
Lot of progress has been done in the BTO control, constellation alignement and more propagation at Zenith and outside Zenith.
Extract from Canopus blog:
We did it!
|22 Jan. 2011
First laser propagation
"In the early morning of January 22, 2011 at 4:38am, Chile Summer Time, a new era in high-resolution astronomy began with the successful propagation of a 5-star sodium laser guide star "constellation" in the skies over Cerro Pachon in Chile."

Canopus installation on the Telescope
On Monday 10th of January, Canopus was installed on telescope. On the 11th, power was turned on. Canopus will now be characterized in this new environment for around 2months, before starting the night time commissioning
|25 Nov. 2010
Laser high power spec achieves in LSE.
Vincent Fesquet and LMCT Laser engineer Zach Prezkuta have just spent 3 weeks of nearly non stop work in the laser Service Enclosure to bring the GS Laser back to its preshipment performance level. They succeeded pretty nicely, achieving between 50 to 60W most days during the last week and close to 65W on the day when Zach left back to Colorado. Wavelength locking was achieved a few days earlier. Other performance parameters such as beam quality and stability will be assessed over the next couple of weeks.
|19 Nov. 2010
Canopus Transport to Cerro Pachon and installation in the instrument lab.
Canopus was transported from the lab in la Serena base facility to the instrument lab at the telescope in cerro Pachon. The preparation, packing and transportation took 3 days of work for a team of more than 10 engineers and technician. The transport went smoothly, and Canopus is now installed in the instrument lab, where it will be tested before its installation on the Telescope planned for the 10th of January.
|14 Jul. 2010
GS laser installation on telescope
The GS laser passed its last Software reliability acceptance test last week and was officially accepted on Friday July 9, 2010. Preparations had been made so that the laser could be installed on the telescope immediately thereafter. Prep work at the summit occurred on Mon-Tue July 12-13 for the Laser Bench Enclosure (LBE) and Laser Electronic Enclosure (LEE) to be transported from the Pachon Instrument Lab clean room to the telescope and installed in their final home: the GS Laser Service Enclosure (LSE). The move took place today, on July 14, 2010, under Mike Sheehan's supervision and with help from a large section of the CP day crew. The move went pretty smoothly. Both the LBE and LEE were installed in the LSE by ~7pm tonight. Look at this podcast for more details.
|24 Mar, 2010
Gemini South Laser delivery to Cerro Pachon
The GS laser arrived at 1pm today on the summit. All crates were offloaded by 2:30pm, and stored on the first floor where we will pick them up again on Monday for installation in the instrument lab. Everything went by the book.

Juan Smith hopes to make a successful return to rugby in 2013.
The veteran Springbok flank has been struggling to recover from an Achilles injury he suffered during Super Rugby two years ago. He hasn't featured for the Springboks since the 2010 end-of-year tour and decided to miss the entire 2012 season to focus on his rehabilitation.
Smith hopes to be match fit in time for the next Super Rugby season.
'I don't want to put too much pressure on myself,' Smith told keo.co.za. 'At this stage, I'm just working hard on my rehab. I've also started a career in the corporate world, so I'm keeping myself busy.
'My aim is to make a comeback in Super Rugby with the Cheetahs, but we'll see how things go. I'm just taking things one day at a time.'
The Springboks have struggled with injuries this season, especially in the loose forward department. Head coach Heyneke Meyer has previously lamented the loss of Smith, who would've added value if available.
Although he turned 31 in July, Smith still hopes to play Test rugby.
'Playing for the Springboks again is definitely one of my goals. I'll need to prove myself when I'm ready.'
Smith made his international debut in 2003 and has played 63 Tests for the Boks.

This was impressive.
Backed up by a light's out defensive effort and 109 yards rushing and three touchdowns by Dewayne Johnson, Northside whipped Bunn 28-10 Friday night to advance to the NCHSAA 2-AA East Regional finals.
"Dreamed about it," coach Bob Eason said of the Monarchs making it back to the regional championship game for the first time since 2008. "But it takes a lot of luck and a lot of hard work and a lot of coaching and a lot of players playing hard.
"It's just a culmination of things. We're excited to be there."
The top-seeded Monarchs (14-0) will play host to No. 2 seed Carrboro (14-0) next Friday, with the winner advancing to the state championship game. Carrboro slipped past Reidsville 20-16 on Friday night.
"Excited, hyped," defensive lineman Markel Jones said when asked how he felt to be going to the regional finals. "We're No. 2 in the state (rankings) and we're going to make ourselves No. 1 in the state."
On this night, the Monarchs played like they were No. 1, especially on defense.
A week after allowing the most points and likely the most yards (446) in a 41-28 victory over North Pitt, Northside came out like it wanted to prove last week was a fluke performance from a defense that had dominated most opponents.
And that's exactly what Northside did.
The Monarchs allowed the Wildcats, who finish 10-3, just 67 yards total offense, including 13 yards and one first down in the opening half, which ended with Northside leading 13-10. None of those points could be counted against the defense since Bunn scored on a kickoff return and then recovered a high snap on a punt at the Northside 5-yard line to set up a field goal.
It didn't help Bunn's cause that Tarik Cohen, who had rushed for more than 1,500 yards, hurt his ankle in the opening quarter and was forced to the sidelines for good after trying to make a go of it in the second quarter.
Cohen finished with 15 yards on 9 carries.
"I don't know if it really (would) have helped them or not," Eason said. "We were playing pretty dadgone good."
Indeed the Monarchs were. The tone seemed set on the first play from scrimmage when Bunn quarterback Dillon Autrey fumbled a handoff. The Wildcats recovered — for a 7-yard loss. Two plays later the Wildcats had to punt.
After a three-and-out on its first possession, Northside grabbed a 7-0 lead with 4:29 left in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Johnson, who set up the touchdown with a 35-yard run.
The Monarchs quickly made it 13-0 thanks to their defense.
Josh Cabrera, who splits time between catching passes and defending them, came up with the first of his two interceptions — this one after the ball was tipped by teammate Andy Davis — and returned it 23 yards to the Bunn 5.
"I know I wasn't where I was supposed to be, so I just tried to get right," Cabrera said. "I saw the tip and I just ran to it."
On fourth-and-goal from the 1, Johnson took a pitch around the left and scored. Trey Eason's extra point was no good.
The 13-point lead lasted only seconds because Johnathan Alston, who's contemplating scholarship offers from, among others, Notre Dame, North Carolina and N.C. State, returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards to cut the lead to 13-7 with 2:05 left in the first quarter.
It stayed that way until a snap went over Eason's head on a punt and Bunn recovered at the Northside 5. The Wildcats were held to just 2 yards on three plays, and Freeman Jones booted a 20-yard field goal to cut the lead to 3 points with 9:49 left.
"It (kickoff return for touchdown) is the biggest momentum shifter in the game," coach Eason said. "And then they got the snap over the head, but we were still winning. That was the thing. We were still winning. And if they don't score again, we can't lose. That was kind of the attitude we tried to take."
Bunn did not score again, but Northside did — thanks to its defense.
Cabrera stepped in front of a throw from Autrey to Alston, who had just 1 catch for -4 yards, and raced 34 yards for a touchdown to make it 21-10 after Johnson bulled into the end zone for the 2-point conversion.
"I saw the man slip and I broke and I got there in time for it," said Cabrera, who also had 2 receptions for 61 yards. "I kind of had a feeling they were going to do a short route because that's what they had been doing. So I prepared myself for that."
Neither team scored in the third quarter, with Northside finishing off the scoring with an 8-yard run by Johnson on fourth-and-1 to make it 28-10 with 5:38 left in the game.
Afterward, Eason was asked to assess his team's performance.
"I thought we took advantage of their mistakes, and I think our defense caused them to make a lot of mistakes," he said. "Our defense played lights out. If we don't make special team errors, this is a runaway early."
And while his offense finished with just 193 yards that was fine with Eason given how the game evolved.
"It didn't need to be a shootout. So we kind of pulled back a little bit because we didn't want to give them opportunities by being wide open," he said. "So I think offensively it's a little misleading because we didn't put our foot on the pedal offensively because defensively we were playing so good.
"It's just one them games where you had to use your strategy and just win. Heck, survive and advance at this point."
NOTE: Northside will be without starting senior LB Matt Lafferty, who was ejected after being called for a personal foul. Under NCHSAA rules, he has to sit out one game, although Eason said they may appeal the ejection.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day newspaper column, says Heyneke Meyer's game plan and playing philosophy is simply not good enough.
The All Blacks lacked accuracy in attack against the Wallabies, but that was all that was missing from a New Zealand display that made South Africa's match against Argentina look like something from the Dark Ages.
If what the All Blacks produced in Auckland was high octane, then in Mendoza there was nothing more than grunt and growl. It was a shocker and the Springboks were the most shocking of the two teams.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has spoken of the need to win every weekend. He has spoken of mental toughness and the search for excellence. He has spoken of the potential greatness of players. Actions have always been more significant than words and the player actions in Mendoza, just like in Port Elizabeth in the third Test against England, were a contradiction on everything being said. The 20 minutes we saw against England in Johannesburg's second Test was a hint of the potential within our rugby, but even that 20 minutes looks a decade ago when compared to the intensity and pace of the effort from New Zealand, the current world champions and without doubt the team setting the standards.
I thought the Australians were woeful as an attacking unit and there was no threat they'd get five points let alone a victory. They defended bravely and showed a desire for the scrap but they were simply beaten up in the collisions and given a rugby lesson.
This is a very good All Blacks team, stronger now than when they edged France to win the World Cup last October. Richie McCaw and Dan Carter will be managed carefully through to the next World Cup but the succession plan of Sam Cane and Aaron Cruden is already in motion. Very little else will change from now to 2015 so those who talk of the All Blacks being a side in decline in 2015 think again. The back three will be at their peak and so too a midfield that will include Sonny Bill Williams. The All Blacks have integrated as many players new players into the system as the Boks have. Two new locks, a new loose forward, a new scrumhalf and variations on the wing. The only position where there is no definitive answer in relation to 2015 is at hooker. They're in a healthy position and they're not making any excuses about World Cup hangovers, lack of desire, retirements, inexperience or players coming to terms with the demands of international rugby. They've set standards, especially on defence, and to keep two sides of the standing of Ireland and Australia scoreless this year is the kind of action that accompanies any talk of excellence.
The All Blacks were not precise in their attack in Auckland, but that will always be a possibility with the type of high risk, high tempo and absolutely enthralling game they play. In Auckland they offloaded in the tackle 30 times and most of the offloads were effective in advancing the play, sustaining flow, continuity and ensuring momentum. If you tuned in at 9:35am to Auckland and happened to be watching the same rugby channel 12 hours later you could excused for thinking that what was on offer from Mendoza was part of the ESPN Classic packages. My god it was awful.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, on reflection, spoke of the physicality of South Africa and Argentina, whom the All Blacks play next in Wellington. He said it was like watching two rhinos go at each other all afternoon.
His reference to rhino reminded me of former Wallabies coach Rod Macqueen's rhino reference to the then Springbok coach Harry Viljoen. Macqueen and Viljoen are good mates and they were on a Safari outing when they saw Rhino. Macqueen said: 'Look Harry there's your team … big, strong and f**king dumb'.
The Boks certainly moved on from the dummy tag in 2007 thanks to the approach and thinking of some very special players, but the limited quality of player on display in Mendoza is no excuse for the kind of rugby produced.
Meyer, as coach, picks the side and determines game strategy and playing philosophy. What we saw in Port Elizabeth and Mendoza is simply not good enough, in intent, in ambition and in principle.
No player picks himself and not one Springbok in Mendoza would make a current World XV. That's a reality but it is no excuse to draw to Argentina because no Pumas player would make a World XV either.
Mendoza should be a watershed moment for Meyer, who doesn't want for rugby intellect but needs to be challenged to break his own shackles of conservatism.
The obvious reaction is to take fire at the players, but that would be misguided. Meyer is the one in charge and a team is a reflection of a coach. If the coach expected more of his players in Mendoza then I – like every South African rugby supporter – expected more of Meyer at this juncture.

Amarillo, TX -- As the deadline for a 'fiscal cliff' resolution draws nearer, many wind energy projects across the panhandle and the nation are in limbo.Texas leads the nation in wind energy production and potential, and the industry has seen meteoric growth over the last two decades. In fact, wind generation in the state increased twelvefold in the last ten years.Much of that growth can be attributed to the Production Tax Credit, which allows producers to reduce costs by up to ninety percent in some cases. But now that tax cut may be lost amid the financial fallout if our nation's lawmakers can't avert the looming 'fiscal cliff.'The Production Tax Credit was established in 1992 to help spur new growth in wind energy capacity in our search for renewable energy sources.

Horrible news.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/85...dy-knee-injuryNo firm decisions have been made as New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon continues to seek additional opinions on his troublesome right knee, but microfracture surgery has been presented as one of a number of potential remedies, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Gordon is scheduled to consult with a knee specialist this weekend as the Hornets try to pinpoint a definitive course of action -- whether that's a surgical procedure or a revamped rehabilitation program -- after their highest-paid player was shelved indefinitely this week.
The recovery plan, sources said, is unlikely to be finalized before early next week
This guy is never going to be the same or ever play on a consistent basis. They'll never be able to trade him. No one is going to take on the salary. Matching just hamstringed this franchise for four years.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Espn also reported at Eric Gordon has opted into his 4th year
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
So Demps and the Hornet's organization knew about this last season and still decided to match his contract?
I would take any combination of expiring scrubs in exchange for Gordon at this point.
Well, There are a lot of parallels between disaster in New York and New Orleans. The disaster, and now superstars at max money who won't play 10% of their games that are constantly getting knee surgeries after being proclaimed to be "healthy".
How long would he be out if he takes this? He should just get the Kobe treatment.
looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
As much as I love Dell, he made his first major mistake in matching that offer.
It's nice that they have found out what's been disturbing him. Hopefully there's a treatment and he should recover completely after.
I don't any reason to be mad the guy right now. He is the one who's suffering !
This year let's focus on Rivers, DAvis, Miller and Aminu !!!
Go Hornets !
"I go so hard, I go so mean... I'm so NEW ORLEANS" - Lil' Wayne"We not stopping at no stores man ! We staying on the gas !" - Tyreke Evans
Its stated in the article that the approached him about having Microfracture surgery during last season. He opted to have the scope instead because he wanted to go though free agency. I think the reason the Hornets went through with matching is because at the time his knee was fine and according to the MRIs, even now, there was no structural damage to keep him from playing. So you can't put it all on the Hornets when at the time he was recovering fine. He was even well enough to try out for Team USA.
Eric could have nipped this whole thing in the bud if he would have just gotten the surgery during last season BUT he went for the money instead....
Get well EG!!! Future All Star baby!!!
True Love
Get well EJ. This could end up being a blessing in disguise....patience my friends.

Whenever I sit down at our computer at home to write a column, I always start thinking about something I need to do in the workroom, like wash a load of clothes.
Or better still, I think of something that I want to play on the piano, and the first thing you know, I'm in the front room trying to get it together.
And I always think I've got to have a cup of coffee, and when I get to the kitchen, I start nibbling on crackers or candy corn from the candy dish.
But I'm not going to do that tonight.
I'm going to close my eyes and think of things that make me happy.
For instance, when I signed on the computer, there was this big old smiley picture of Santa Claus, a snowy white beard and gold-rimmed glasses, and startling blue eyes.
I don't know why but I always thought old SC had brown eyes.
But it put me in a happier frame of mind just seeing his jolly face, blue eyes and all.
Let's see, what else makes me happy?
How about Beanie Babies?
I have a great bunch of them, but I never see them for sale anymore. Surely they've "come back in style."
I especially like the rabbits.
Remember when it was not unusual for kids to have pet rabbits?
When we were growing up and Y-K-W lived across the road from us, he and his brother had a cage out back of their house where they kept rabbits.
I always sort of envied them.
The only way we had rabbits at the Oakley household was if daddy went rabbit hunting and brought back enough to feed his hungry crowd.
Truth to tell, I never cared much for the taste of rabbit or squirrel either, but it was on our table often enough.
Hmm. Socks.
I do love socks. The ones I have on right now are pink with flamingoes and palm trees on them.
I like flamingoes, but not as much as rabbits or Beanie Babies.
Teapots. They are a passion of mine. I have a teapot with cups and saucers that I bought in
But thankfully, they made it back to
Other teapots and dainty cups are used when I feel sort of special or when my two beautiful daughters come over and we want to be sort of uppity.
A couple of my favorites came from Betty, a friend at work.
I love rainy days. I remember when J.C. Penney, better known now as "JCP," was downtown.
I had my first full time job at the Church of the Holy Comforter down on
Oh, and it had a matching hat. I couldn't wait for rainy days so that I could dress up in my foul weather gear.
And I still love a rainy day, more if I don't have to go out in it.
The rain coat and hat has long since gone the way of old – and likely out-grown – clothes.
I could go on and on with things that make me happy but I'll just stop with this.
Saturdays make me happy! I hope they make you happy, too.
"Don't worry; be happy"

Comments about Bacon Wave:
We use it for bacon, and usually put the time in microwave about 35 seconds per slice, but you have to judge on your own. The bacon turns out nice and crisp, and the grease drains to the bottom. We started soaking it in hot dishwater to clean before washing, and that works well.

Prices shown in currencies other than USA Dollars are estimates based on current exchange rates. We will charge your credit card in USA Dollars on the day your order is shipped, and the conversion to your local currency will be done at the prevailing rate by your credit card issuer.
Shipments outside the USA are declared as "bike parts" for customs purposes and will include the actual amount paid for merchandise and shipping. Jenson USA will not mark your parcel as a "gift", declare a value lower than the actual price paid, or otherwise prepare false customs information.

The Bike Ray USA Speed I light is perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and night commuting. The Speed I bike light features a 1000 lumen output LED without the large price tag. The light is much brighter than a car headlight and can be seen from a distance. Bike Ray USA utilized the CREE XM-L T6 LED to achieve the fantastic power output. The 22 degree molded optical glass lens and orange peel reflector directs the light to where it is most needed, lighting up the road directly in front of you. The temperature protection circuit protects the light from over- heating, by automatically lowering the output, when the light is left on without airflow.
