CGEM or Atlas EQ-G for a C11?
Posted 08 February 2009 - 11:35 PM
I do intend to eventually get into Astrophotography but for now I just what to look deep into space and see what is out there.
Thanks in advance

If you went into AP, I'd hope you weren't expecting to use the C11 as an imaging scope on a CGEM or Atlas. The C11 won't make a very good AP scope for a beginner just starting out, and would be taxing on that mount. Expect frustration at first trying to get it to not vibrate, track poorly and various other issues that could put off a beginning photographer.
Visually, it seems like a good pair, and one advantage is that you can pick up a nice refractor down the road for AP and swap the tubes based on what you want to do (light-bucket viewing versus AP).

I chose the eqg for a few reasons.
Proven performance,quiet operation,and available on the used market.
The cgem is a new product and most likely will have a few gremlins to work out.
The cgem does come with a warranty,better software,better mounting saddle,and probably a better price.
I don't think you could go wrong with either choice,buy the best deal available from a dealer who stands behind the product.

Got an EQ6-Pro (same as Atlas) for a premium price difference, and never looked back...
Does not have all the "bells & whistles" of the Celestron, but it's not a toy, it just plain works.
Besides, you wont attract your neighbour's attention with the coffee grinder noise
As far as C11? I know the Atlas is up to it. The Celestron Im not sure...

What kills me is the shipping charges on the atlas.

I have previously owned a C11 and Atlas mount, and when the CGEM was announced, I quickly sold my Atlas mount in favor of acquiring the new CGEM. Now a few folks have had a few issues with the new mount that seem to be getting addressed quickly by Celestron, but so far mine has worked just as expected.
IMHO, the Nexstar software of the CGEM is a bit easier to operate than the Atlas software and that was part of my thought process in making the switch from the Atlas, but the main reason for my decision was the All Star Polar Alignment which I really need for my location.
The mount construction of each is really pretty similar and both are quite heavy using robust EQ heads, and they each use the same 2" SS tripod. Frankly these mounts are so similar I'm pretty certain either mount would handle the C11 payload almost identically. I can tell you that with a C11, 50 mm finder, 2" SCT crayford focuser, 2" diagonal, and 2" eyepiece it takes 33 pounds of counter weight to balance the scope. I would think the advertised payload of 40 pounds is very realistic for these mounts, but with a C11 it might be pretty close for a stable astro imaging platform.
Hope this helps.

hoping that EQMOD comes up with the same things so that way I don't have to change.
The EQMOD software will not work out with the CGEM. The maker of EQMOD has no intention of making an equivalent software for the CGEM. From what I have read on the EQMOD Yahoo group, the software would be fairly different as the CGEM uses different motors than the Atlas.

Sorry I don't think you got what I was saying... I was saying that I hope the guys who make eqmod add stuff like the All-Star Alignment and some of the other cool things the CGEM can do that the atlas can't at this point.
Not that I hope they make eqmod for the CGEM. That is why at the end I was wishing not to change.

Unless you get a self guiding camera, or only take short unguided shots, you'll need to use a little guide scope and that will definately take you past what either mount will do for AP (I know there are some that can and have used that setup)
Looking through all the variables and choices I decided to spend the extra $$ and get a CGE1100. It is now 5 months later and I have never regretted getting the CGE mount (except for the 'runaway' episode cured by changing to a different style interconnect cable for the RA and DEC connx) It holds the C11 like a rock and even have good things to say about it with my FS-102 on top
As far as refractors go, having a sturdy mount is even more an issue - the weight moment / fulcrum issues are even more pronounced, and then there is windage and sail area vs. an SCT. I've found that the refractors are especially succeptable to wind, and the CGE did fine with my FS-128 and a guide scope.
Having a bit more mount than you think you need isn't a bad idea, and you wont be limited as to what you do, or when. I know it's a lot more money - but I think - starting with the C11 there are many issues you just wont have. Also - the CGE has all the ports you need in the column, no additional accy's needed to hook up anything, computer, satnav, autoguider, handset... When you think of imaging with these mounts some recommend going by 1/2 the rated weight, or the 'middle third', some will say they load to the max and no problem. Keep in mind the payload specs are for what the mount can carry, only some actually publish an 'imaging weight'. But if your starting out, the mount can make it easy or difficult - I think far more than the OTA used.

The subject speaks for itself. I am buying my first scope and mount. After many hours of research and a few trips out with the local club, I have decided on a C11. Both the CGEM and Altas have a lot of fans. Anyone with experience with either of these setups please feel free to lend advise. Buying the CGEM 1100 package is about $500 cheaper than just the OTA and separate Atlas for it to ride on. Is it worth an additional $500?
I do intend to eventually get into Astrophotography but for now I just what to look deep into space and see what is out there.
Thanks in advance
I checked a couple of places for pricing and there's actually only about $250.00 in price difference between the CGEM 11 and the Atlas 11...
Posted 12 February 2009 - 01:05 PM
I must say Orion is really blowing it by not offering the Atlas as a package with their most popular scopes. All the packages I see come with the Sirius or Sphinx.
I understand your point although I would have been a bit more diplomatic on phrasing it. I got a 9.25 for my Atlas and I really liked that combination very much. A couple of guys in my club have C-8's with small refractors riding on top and that is a very stable imaging setup.

My point was aimed at their marketing strategy. Competing with Celestron which offers 3 SCTs on 3 different mounts with significant discounts for buying the package over the individual components giving them 9 price points spanning from $1500 to $4400.
Yes, it's a shame that they haven't rolled up the Atlas in more varied configurations... as I mentioned earlier the 9.25 and 8" SCT's would make excellent packages with the Atlas. Almost any of the "astrophotography" packages they sell would really benefit from riding on an Atlas too.

Tamara Drewe (2010)
Tamara Drewe Synopsis
Based on Posy Simmonds beloved graphic novel of the same name (which was itself inspired by Thomas Hardys classic Far From the Madding Crowd) this wittily modern take on the romantic English pastoral is a far cry from Hardys Wessex. Tamara Drewes present-day English countrysidestocked with pompous writers, rich weekenders, bourgeois bohemians, a horny rock star, and a great many Buff Orpington chickens and Belted Galloway cowsis a much funnier place. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown upside down. Tamaraonce an ugly ducklinghas been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the booksex appeal.

Ar's are addicting! I built my first one last year and my lmt upper and lower will be in my possession in a few days!!!
Ar's are addicting! I built my first one last year and my lmt upper and lower will be in my possession in a few days!!!
This song is awesome and my first rifle was a model 70 Winchester .243 my grandfather gave my father and my father gave me. I killed my first buck when I was 12 with that .243 and many bucks after that until my great uncle gave me a Remington 700 .270. My father was dead set and still is on me never putting a scope on his gun because "people using a scope instead of binoculars". My father quit hunting long before I was born because "there's nothing like deer season to make a bunch of grown men act like a bunch on kids". I can see his point and my hunting style has changed alot from my grandfathers. Alot of why I switched to the .270 was I wanted a scope. I think its where my model 70 addiction started! I still have both guns
My first AR is going to be a .204 Ruger. Hopefully I will get the barrel mid January. I didnt want it to be the standard run of the mill .223 everyone has. The 2nd I dont know yet but it may not be completely legal in all 50 or any states
I really hated the M16/M4 when I was in the army, mostly because of the trigger. The .204 Rugger is going to have a CMC trigger. I dont know what the next will be but I just couldnt pass up the deal Aero was giving and the way things are going who knows when they wont be available again.
-11 ambient, -28 windchill...this is getting old fast, I think this is day 4 or 5 without the temp getting above 0. So just curious, does anyone really know how tough a week or two of this kind of weather is on the a deer herd when combined with about 6 inches of snow on the ground? The forecast doesn't look favorable. I would think it would have to be real tough on the bucks that just got over the rut.
When your girlfriend dumps a bunch of molasses into the garbage and leaves the lid open then leaves for a half hour only to come back to a dog covered in molasses along with a ton of carpet stains, who do you get mad at???...the dog or the girlfriend??? I didn't get mad at either, I laughed when she told me on the phone and then she got mad at me and I had to clean it up and give the dog a bath. The lesson here is, when life throws you molasses you have to slow down on your drive home from work and hope that someone else takes care of your problems.
I hear ya ando_31!!!To dam early to be this cold. Supposed to warm up Here on Wednesday, sure will feel good. Get out and try to get some bobcat, you have many bobcat there? As far as the deer go here the crops are pretty much all gone and we got over a foot of snow there gonna be hurt in by spring, they are already eating in the yard at the bird feeder. Usually that Dont happen until February. We usually find a few dead ones or see some real skinny ones by February even when we Dont have this much snow early. We do alot of coyote hunting with the hounds so we do run into a lot of starving deer that the yotes get.
I have seen it get real cold for a week in early Dec here a few times the last few years but usually we have snow on the ground when it happens. This year we dont have any snow so I think the ground is froze pretty deep. Its warmer today. I have learned to keep my mouth shut untill she cools off when molasses happens lol
Climbing a tree is harder then it looks. I have about a 100' tall pine tree right by my house with electric lines on the other sides of it. After weighing out my options to take it down I decided to buy climbing gear and do it myself since it was about the same price as the next cheapest option and I would have all the gear to use in the future (I got it all put together for just under $400). I got up it about 30' today which was as far as I wanted to go today. Mostly wanted to try out my gear. I learned alot and found out where I need to make some adjustments before I go all the way up it. Definitely not saying I regret this decision at all but it looks alot easier when someone else is doing it!
The first step to getting to the top of a tree is to cut it down.

Subscription Coffees are in route! Costa Rica Familia Bonilla - Beneficio / Ethiopia Dry Process Gr. 1 Yirga Cheffe Dumerso
July 10, 2014
Costa Rica Familia Bonilla - Benefecio: This City roast represents a beautiful honey sweetness when sipping it hot in the cup! It also has a very nutty quality that doesn't leave a dryness in the aftertaste with very clean semisweet cocoa finish. As it cools, a juicy ruby red grapefruit acidity comes upfront while continuing to stay sweet and snappy.
Ethiopia Dry Process Gr. 1 Yirga Cheffe Dumerso: I took this selection to City+ roast. There is ripe strawberry all the way through along with clean acidity that resembles green grape skins. Cooling down, it showcases more of a berry fruit salad sweetness behind the surprisingly high acidity that isn't found too often in dry processed coffees.

Item # GFM0002
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Arm & Elbow Pads in stock than that.View Similar Products
G-Form Elbow Pads $0.00
As trails get faster and bikes get more capable, it only makes sense that protective gear needs to evolve at even rate. That's where the G-Form Elbow Pads enter the picture. When you put them on, they feel like summer-weight arm warmers. However, the rate-dependent pads stiffen under impact. So, you get the protection that you need, without having to resort to hockey pads in the process.
G Form's pads start with a close-fitting sleeve to which its pads are attached. The upshot to this construction method is that the sleeves are breathable and highly flexible -- much more so than traditional pad constructions. But, it's the PORON® XRD™ impact panels that really set these apart. Essentially, this is a rate-dependent material, which is a fancy way of saying that it stiffens under impact. Basically, when you're wearing them, it feels like a regular arm sleeve, because the articulated impact pads move so effortlessly with your arm. Additionally, the pad remains soft in that case, enhancing your freedom of movement. But, if you take a tumble onto the pad, the impact causes the pad to stiffen. This way, it effectively dissipates the majority of impact energy before it's absorbed by your body.
These pads provide effective protection against scrapes and bruises, but for applications that require maximum protection, such as freeride or downhill, these aren't as protective as a true hard-shell pad. However, the blend of barely-there comfort and protection makes these pads ideal for trail riding.
The G-Form Elbow Pads are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and Yellow.

It's only a matter of time before I " Fall Down Go Boom". I tried everyone else's XL's and my hands woulda fallen asleep, which tends to put too much stress on a man's helmet.
Keep you posted.
Not for crashing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these for BMX racing. Or should I say it used.... I took a spill in an asphalt corner. These pads did absolutely nothing. The pad on my knee was completely ripped off and I had to have a synthetic mesh on my leg because there was not enough skin to sew it shut. The pad on my elbow also spun completely around and ripped a hole through it which then left bare skin grinding on the asphalt. I also purchased the same pads for my son who will no longer be using them after I seen the performance. Yes they are extremely comfortable and allow plenty of movement but you might as well wear a pair of cut off socks on your knees and elbows

I wear them every ride now, but haven't fallen on them to really test them out. They have protected well against tree scrapes thus far. I think they are perfect for backcountry biking, maybe not for purely downhill.
I'm 5'9" and 165 lbs, with stocky arms and the large fit really well, not loose and yet not too tight.
Light Duty Trail Protection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have been using these pads most recently in Moab and have been very impressed so far.
I am a particular fan of how small these pack down to keep in your pack for the descent down, they provide arm warmer type warmth on the colder rides and certainly do not take away from mobility in the arms or elbows.
I must say that I have not crashed hard on these pads and don't feel that they will hold the test of time if you will be on your elbows or in the rocks much.
They are a go-to pad for that piece of mind protection 'just in case' but feel a harder shell pad would be a better option for someone looking to spend a good amount of time shredding the local bike park.
I am 5' 11" 175lbs and the med fit perfect for me.
G-formed opinion
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Tonight was first ride after having Bursa removed from left elbow. Surgery unrelated to MTB. During the down time I researched pads as I'm an intermediate rider and ride with an expert and another intermediate rider. We have hit some higher speeds going down hill so researched and pads seem appropriate. I bought the G force knee and Elbow pads. It was super hot here in Cali and we were doing a simpler trail with a lot of switch backs. I threw the elbow pads on the protect the elbow with surgery and not the knee as the heat was mid 90s. I had a low speed slide out on gravel into some brush. Hit the left elbow.... Not a scratch bruise or sign of crash. My knee has a little road rash but would have had none if pads were on. I felt nothing on the elbow. Pads were as advertised. Obviously these are not for intense FR or DH riding. Oooooo also if you sized properly don't even know they are there and do not slip from ride or slide. Great product for my riding.
G-Form Pads
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Pretty Cool Product , works well without restricting movement. It's great for low impact activities or learning how to throw that new snowboard/ski/skate trick. A Little extra cushion when you need it.

The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders, a contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors.
Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the Boy Scouts' National Council who cast ballots, 61 percent supported the proposal drafted by the governing Executive Committee. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.
"While people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting," the group said after announcing the results at the council's annual meeting in Grapevine, Texas, a Dallas suburb.
Former Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, an Eagle Scout and longtime leader in local scouting groups, was in Texas for the vote and backed the new policy, along with other local leaders.

"It's such an important program for youth leadership that every youth should have access to it and every parent," said McKenna, executive vice president of the Chief Seattle Council. "All of us who supported it are very happy it passed."
Thursday's vote will not end the bitter debate over the membership policy.
Liberal Scout leaders — while supporting the proposal to accept gay youngsters — have made clear they also want the ban on gay adults lifted.
"At some point we'll address the adult policy. I don't think for example that any parent should be excluded from leadership in their Scout troop," McKenna said.
In contrast, conservatives with the Scouts — including some churches that sponsor Scout units — wanted to continue excluding gay youngsters, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted.
"We are deeply saddened," Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee, said after learning of the vote. "Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the principles enshrined in the Scout oath and Scout law."
The Assemblies of God, another conservative denomination, said the policy change "will lead to a mass exodus from the Boy Scout program."
Outside the Chief Seattle Council's offices Thursday afternoon, at a small rally organized by Scouts for Equality, there were cheers.
"It's not everything but it's the first step towards full equality," said Jesse Pacem, 36, an Eagle Scout, who showed up at the rally in uniform, with his infant son in a carrier on his back.
Geoffrey McGrath, of Seattle, was gratified the Scouts finally changed the policy. Years ago, he was asked to chaperone a local group on a camping trip. The trip went great, he said. But the next year, when local Scout officials called again, he told them his "status had changed."
"I'm still an Eagle Scout, but I'm gay," he told them. "They said, 'We'll get back to you.' "
He was no longer welcome.
"It was the hardest thing about my coming out," he said. "A lot of my self-image as a youth was wrapped up in Scouting. … It's as important to me as the religion I was raised with."
As the debate has raged nationally, the Chief Seattle Council was tight-lipped on the issue, declining to make any public statements — or even return reporters' phone calls.
Pacem found that frustrating. Nonetheless, he believes the Seattle Council to be "silent heroes" in the change.
Brad Tilden, president of the Chief Seattle Council and CEO of Alaska Air Group, had an op-ed article published Wednesday in USA Today, urging the Scouts to accept not only gay youth, but adults, too.
"We need the Boy Scouts to serve all youth and include all leaders, irrespective of their sexual orientation," he wrote. "The Boy Scouts must evolve as America has."
Wayne Perry, president of the national Boy Scouts of America, is a former president of the Chief Seattle Council. He, too, published an op-ed piece this week supporting the rule change.
While Thursday's vote was momentous in some ways, Pacem doubts it will change a whole lot at the troop level.
"I think the boys are well beyond this," he said. What it will change is the attitude among adults, he predicted. "I think it gives a sigh of relief. Leaders don't have to see their kids at risk of getting kicked out — right away."
Opinions sought
Thursday's vote followed what the Boy Scouts described as "the most comprehensive listening exercise in Scouting's history" to gauge opinions within the community.
For gay youngsters who were forced out of Scouting and their allies, thousands of whom joined the push for change, the opening of membership was more than welcome.
"I've waited 13 years for this," said Matt Comer, 27, who was forced out of his troop at age 14 after he started a Gay-Straight Alliance at his school.
Since the fourth grade, he said Thursday, he had dreamed of becoming an Eagle Scout and was crushed when he was denied the chance.
"Today we finally have some justice for me and others," he said. "But gay youths will still be told they are no longer welcome when they turn 18."
Leaders of the conservative faction predicted the Boy Scouts will soon be forced by lawsuits to allow openly gay leaders, and they accused the top leaders of ignoring the beliefs of their members.
"The fallout from this is going to be tremendous," predicted Robert Schwarzwalder, a senior vice president of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group, and a father of two Scouts in Northern Virginia. "I think there will be a loss of hundreds of thousands of boys and parents."
"This great institution is going to be vitiated by the intrusion of a political agenda," he said.
The Scouts could take a hit financially. Many Scout units in conservative areas fear local donors will stop giving.
But the ban also cost the organization. The UPS Foundation, Merck, the Intel Foundation, and many local United Ways and city agencies ended financing for the Scouts because its policies violated their own nondiscrimination guidelines.
The Boy Scouts of America executive committee suggested a plan in January to give sponsors of local Scout units the option of admitting gays as both youth members and adult leaders or continuing to exclude them. However, the plan won little praise, and the group changed course.
The proposal approved Thursday was seen as a compromise, and the Scouts stressed the organization would not condone sexual conduct by any Scout, gay or straight.
"The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue," the group said.
Since the executive committee just completed a lengthy review, "there are no plans for further review on this matter," the group added.
The organization's overall "traditional youth membership" — Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers — is about 2.6 million, compared with more than 4 million in past peak years. It also has about 1 million adult leaders and volunteers.
Information from The Associated Press and The New York Times is included in this report. Seattle Times staff reporters Maureen O'Hagan and Jim Brunner contributed to this report.

This project has been taken. How do I mark it as such?
I am in the process of writing a trilogy, but am having a hard time keeping up with time and distance my characters are traveling. I have a rough map drawn (please don't laugh, I'm awful.)
I would like a better looking map i can use while writing to keep track of my character movements. The map will be used for nothing but my personal resource, so you may maintain the copyright.
Attached you will find both black and white and color versions of my map. The finished version can be either.
A few notes:
Trebinlich is a new country, not an ocean or sea.
Eides Ritih and Ghel Reka are rivers that merge together in the Northeast.
Both Bhrenwassa and Tiefwaldher are IN the forest. Bhrenwassa is literally right on the banks of Eides Ritih.
Tenneghel, Kelrudras, and Besignet are lined up almost in a perfect diagonal.
Besignet is a large citidel.
Kelrudras is hilly land.
Tenneghel is farmland.
Ghel Reka flows directly into the ocean (Meerinblau).
Skeuflura is flat land that lies BEHIND the forest, not in it.
The Stelgembh Mountains (incorrect labeled here as a single mountain) is a range that runs the entire eastern boarder of the country. They are very abrupt. No foot hills. They are impassable and the land beyond them is unknown.
The country is called Erdavol.
approx 30 miles from Tenneghel to Tiefwaldher
approx 90 miles from Tiefwaldher to Bhrenwassa
approx 150 miles from Tiefwaldher to Skeuflura
approx 45 miles between Tenneghel, Kelrudras, and Besignet
I very much appreciate any help that can be offered. I've been sort of in a holding pattern for a while without a satisfactory map.
Any other questions, feel free to contact me. kellydianepalmer at gmail dot com
This project has been taken. How do I mark it as such?
Only mods can change the label on the original post (unfortunately it's a limitation of the bbs software), so we do it for you. Thanks for telling us.

Hey Guys,
I have setup ZCS 8.0.3 server and have taken a backup using zmbkpose which actually uses getRestUrl method to backup the mailboxes. Now to restore the same I need to have a same LDAP which was used at the time of backup.
I also have RSYNC kind of backup done for entire /opt/zimbra directory with ldap database backed with mdb_copy. Now when I uninstall the entire zimbra on my test machine to see if the restore works, I did
Uninstall the previous zimbra
Installed the same version, same domain, same hostname. Installation goes fine
Now I have stopped the services and removed mdb.db which is of 80GB and replaced with the backup copy.
The issue arises when I start the server and services failed to start. Does that mean only taking a backup with mdb_copy would not suffice the need and would not backup the entire LDAP database which will be useful at the time of exigency?
Can some one recommend what method to use to backup LDAP database so that it can be restored with new installation?

Agreed ... AMC wants 10-14 million DISH customers to pay 40/80 cents per household - whether or not they actually watch AMC. On the low end they walk away with $4 million per month, $48 million a year. Make the channels a la carte and they would have to sell a lot of subscriptions at a higher price just to break even.
Channels know they are better off in packages sold to people who don't want them as well as the people who will make a lot of noise if the channel wasn't there. Very few channels have decided to allow a la carte sales. Most of them are not very popular or are very expensive a la carte.

Moji Back Pain Relief System $0.00
Lower back pain is many things at once. Simultaneously, it's annoying, painful, debilitating, and inhibiting. Luckily, Moji has created one system to soothe multiple kinds of back pains with the Back Pain Relief System. Just as the name implies, this system is your ticket to long-needed relief.
Any physical therapist will tell you that lower back pain falls into multiple categories, but for this exercise, we'll place a broad focus on two root causes -- chronic and injury-related. Along these lines, the Moji Back Pain Relief System provides effective therapy for both roots of the ailment. How? Well, the system comes equipped with two individual cells that are equally conforming. For injury-related distress, use the Moji Cold Cell to calm nerve endings and to decrease inflammation. This cell features a moisture wicking fabric that will keep your skin dry and comfortable. Meanwhile, the cell also uses a proprietary film that keeps the Cold Cell soft and pliable right out of the freezer. Combined, the cold therapy system provides an even, targeted pressure to aid in your recovery and comfort.
For chronic lower back pains, Moji recommends using its exclusive Heat Cell. This cell uses a multi-layered insulation to stretch the longevity of its application to the skin. Additionally, Moji found that a touch of moisture adds to the soothing, therapeutic quality of heat therapy, so, it added internal moisture beads between the layers of insulation.
Both cells easily attach to the Moji support wrap. This wrap features a four-way stretch construction that's been designed to greet the contours and curves of the spine. So, you're guaranteed to have an almost-custom, conforming layer of therapeutic surface coverage. The wrap has an adjustable closure over the front of the torso. With this design, you don't have to worry about the system self-adjusting or inhibiting your movement.
To operate the Heat Cell, simply pop it into the microwave for around two minutes, and then you're ready for relaxation. For the Cold Cell, place it in the freezer and apply when frozen.
The Moji Back Pain Relief System is available in the color Black and in the sizes One, Two, and Three.

School of Visual Communication Design
The mission of the School of Visual Communication Design (VCD) is to provide a comprehensive and superior professionally oriented education in the study and practice of visual communication design that will complement university studies in the liberal arts, humanities and sciences. The intention and emphasis of the visual communication design degree programs is the preparation of students for the graphic design and illustration professions; specifically, to develop technical proficiency, aesthetic sensibility and design expertise in the organization of imagery and typography to communicate information in two-dimensional form by graphics for print, video and interactive electronic multiple media, and in three-dimensional form through packaging, exhibition and environmental graphics. In support of this mission, a liberal education is a necessary foundation or catalyst to the development of perception, intellect, imagination, skill and knowledge of the history of the visual communication design field.
The School of Visual Communication Design offers three undergraduate degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science and a combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Arts (or Master of Fine Arts). Stand-alone degrees of the Master of Arts and the Master of Fine Arts programs are also offered.
The Admissions Office will process all applications with respect to the general qualifications for admission to the university for new freshmen and transfer students.
The School of Visual Communication Design recognizes that competence in visual design as well as intellectual capacity are necessary qualities in students who plan to prepare for a career in visual communication design. Therefore, the right is reserved to require evidence of achievement in design and related areas from all students endeavoring to enroll for the first time as majors in the school. Early admission is recommended.
Transfer Students
Students meeting the general requirements of the university for transfer admission will be admitted to the program. Transfer credits will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In most situations, completion of the VCD basic coursework is a necessary prerequisite to further study. The director of the School of Visual Communication Design may impose additional requirements considered reasonable and necessary. Transfer credits are evaluated consistent with the university policy, although each student will be evaluated individually in terms of his or her ability to perform within the program. A transfer applicant's strengths and deficiencies will be considered and his or her transfer credits will reflect that consideration.
The Kent State University School of Visual Communication Design is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
Information Architecture and Knowledge Management
Graduate Program
The Master of Science degree in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) is an interdisciplinary degree that provides opportunities for students interested in graduate studies and research in the broad range of information-related disciplines and professions. The program rests on a set of core courses that provide a broad and solid foundation for specialized work in these three concentrations:
- Health Information Management
- Knowledge Management
- User Experience Design
Through these concentrations the program offers focus and flexibility for students to fashion a course of study that suits their interests and career objectives. This flexibility is essential to the nature of the program because of the transdisciplinary character of information, the emerging and evolving roles for information professionals, and the rapid and dynamic growth of information technologies, products, systems, services and networks. The major faculties contributing to the degree are the:
- School of Communication Studies
- Department of Computer Science
- School of Journalism and Mass Communication
- School of Library and Information Science
- Graduate School of Management
- School of Visual Communication Design
While information architecture and knowledge management have emerged as fields of study and career concentrations, their use in the degree title is intended to designate significant points on a spectrum of current and emerging information and knowledge professions and to draw upon and balance the strengths of the participating disciplines.
As a new career path surfaces, IAKM works to develop curriculum to meet its demands.

probably one of the funniest unintentional comedy guys in years. I can't stop watching this show now. I thought the guy was a total idiot the first time I watch. The more I watch the more the guy makes me laugh.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
The show is great. Total train wreck entertainment at its finest. Part of the charm is the cast is so easy to make fun of and laugh at
ABC - Always Be Closing
This show might last ten years.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Watching the first episode of the new season right this minute. I'm not sure I will be able to watch the entire program. Snooki has got to be the most annoying person ever. The Situation is close behind.
Agreed. I use to hate the show but it kept growing on me now I can't stop watching..
Snooki has a body like danny devito.
Pauly D calling the cab last week and The Situation ordering take out last night...hilarious!
I never watch it because they are the most stupid people on TV
A friend from Phoenix was snowed in here in Omaha around Christmas and was planted on my couch for a couple of days. I am happy to say that when she was here is the only time that show has been on my television.
The situation ordering take out last night was one of the funniest things ever.
I've honestly never seen this show. My TV doesn't often leave ESPN.
The best part about this is you can call him an idiot, but he has branded himself so well that he is making thousands and thousands of dollars per episode to live in Miami and party...genious.
How long before The Situation has a dating show like Bret Micheals or Flava Flav? I say 12 minutes.
This whole show is unintentional comedy at its finest
I couldn't imagine watching this show with a new cast.

"The two great commandments are to love God and to love people. It would be great if everyone resolved to obey these commands of Jesus."
—The Rev. John Yenchko, pastor, North Shore Community Church, Oyster Bay

Our children need more role models from the extended family. And we need to work hard to reduce our children's focus on violence. They are being desensitized to violence, injury and death."
—Michael Montesano, state assemblyman, Glen Head
"We should resolve to work with nature, ride with the tide, go with the flow, flood our homes once again with joy and warmth and be as strong and adaptable as the people of Venice, whose homes, spirits and confidence keep them afloat."

(Reuters) – LeBron James told the Miami Heat that he will exercise an early termination option in his contract and become an unrestricted free agent in a move the team said was "fully expected."
Opting out of the final two years of his contract does not mean the four-time league Most Valuable Player is leaving the Heat team he led to NBA championships in 2012 and 2013.
"We fully expected LeBron to opt-out and exercise his free agent rights, so this does not come as a surprise," Heat President Pat Riley, who said he was informed of James's decision earlier on Tuesday, said in a statement.
"We look forward to sitting down with LeBron and his representatives and talking about our future together."
WATCH: 'Mad Men's' Don Draper pitches LeBron's return to Cleveland
James, who was due to earn $20 million next season, had until June 30 to decide whether to head back to free agency.
Qualified players become free agents on July 1.
The decision allows James to explore his options, including signing a new deal with the Heat team he led to four successive NBA Finals appearances since joining them as a free agent in 2010 after seven seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The announcement came one day after fellow All-Star Carmelo Anthony opted out of the final year of his deal with the New York Knicks to test free agency.
Anthony was due to earn $23.5 million with the Knicks.
James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who formed Miami's "Big Three" when they joined forces as free agents in 2010, are coming off a loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
In contrast, San Antonio's evergreen power forward Tim Duncan, 38, decided late on Monday to continue for an 18th campaign with the Spurs by exercising his $10.3 million option for next season.

Equaling the closest-winning margin 10 years ago, Cameron Meyer and his Garmin-Cervélo team held off all and sundry in Sunday's final stage to win the 2011 Santos Tour Down Under.
Coming into the final sprint down King William Road in the heart of the city – Adelaide's own Champs Elysées – his main adversary, Matthew Goss (HTC-HighRoad), had to finish either first or second; Goss just six seconds away from the ochre leader's jersey courtesy of placing second in an earlier intermediate sprint.
But Team Sky, who had no interest in the bonus seconds on offer, saved all their cookies till last.
And in scenes reminiscent of one year ago, they upstaged their more fancied rivals with a perfect lead-out – so perfect, in fact, that Ben Swift and Greg Henderson went 1-2 to not only capture the sixth stage, but in doing so, elevate Swift to third overall behind Meyer and Goss, who finished third on the stage and thus ended the tour a heart-wrenching two seconds adrift of the overall win. It was the same margin Stuart O'Grady won the race by in 2001.
"It was such a close bike race, and there was nothing I could do except cross my fingers," said Meyer, doing his best to hold back tears of joy.
"Matt Goss took points in the first (intermediate sprint) and closed (the overall lead) to six (seconds). There was some part of me that thought I was going to lose this… And I was just hoping that some of the guys that weren't doing the intermediate sprints, like Ben Swift, to have fresher legs at the end to beat Matt Goss.
"We wanted to be aggressive to try and really put the pressure on HTC, and looks like in the end they had to use their men up quite a lot, and Matty Goss didn't quite have the train at the end," Meyer said, who, 12 days ago, turned a sprightly 23. "Hands down to Matt Goss… but thank God, I've still got the jersey."
"It's a funny game, cycling?" Swift was asked after taking his second stage of the week.
"Oh, isn't it, just?" he replied.
"Sometimes, stage races are a race within a race. I was feeling really bad about halfway through, after the efforts on Willunga yesterday," said the third-year pro, also 23, "but my team did an absolutely perfect job. I mean, Mat Hayman practically did the lot from the front (in the final kilometers).
"Mat (also) protected me the whole day; (I) didn't have to do a tap in the wind. It's just unbelievable.
Do you think Meyer buy you a pint tonight?
"I hope so… he better do!" joked Swift.
"But no, I'm really happy for him, and I (look) forward to racing him at the team pursuit in the (track) worlds."
In the minor classifications, Goss won the sprint jersey, Roberts the mountains, and Movistar was the best team.
More hope than confidence
"Hopefully, some of the other teams will get involved. Hopefully, he (Goss) doesn't win the stage.
"Tyler Farrar and Julian Dean, some of the best sprinters in the world, (I'm) hoping they've got their Tour de France legs on today and can beat Matt Goss over the line, which will keep me in the jersey and give me the tour win."
There appeared to be more hope than confidence in the words uttered by Meyer, the overnight leader, moments before the 1:15 p.m. start on one of Adelaide city's most famous streets, King William Road, which served as both the start and finish location of the sixth stage.
Right from the get-go, Meyer's best lieutenant on the fourth stage, Matthew Wilson, took off in a bid to disrupt proceedings for HTC-High Road, and was soon joined by Stuart O'Grady (Leopard-Trek), Inaki Isasi (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Dimitri Champion (Ag2r La Mondiale). The quartet's efforts were assisted by a crash in the pack that appeared to be caused by Jurgen Van de Walle (Omega Pharma-Lotto), which also saw his team-mate André Greipel forced to chase back on.
On the second of twenty laps, Under-23 worlds TT silver medalist, Luke Durbridge (Uni SA-Australia), made the junction across to the lead four. Said Wilson: "I was doing the biggest pulls I could, just knowing all I had to do was make it to that first sprint."
But even with the added firepower, Goss' HTC-High Roaders never gave them more than 20 seconds' advantage, and by the start of the eighth lap – which would see the first intermediate sprint contested at the end of it – that maximum margin was cut by half, before there was no margin at all.
At the sprint, Goss received a perfect lead-out but it was Matthews who used the HTC-High Road Express to his advantage and took the maximum three-second bonus, with Goss and Greipel in second and third.
The result saw Meyer's lead over Goss and Matthews reduced to six and nine seconds respectively, the latter leapfrogging his team-mate and previous third overall, Laurens Ten Dam. On the tenth lap, the penultimate KOM prime on Montefiore Hill was won by the man who led the classification, Luke Roberts (Uni SA-Australia), even though he had already sealed his mountains jersey the day before on Old Willunga Hill.
Tension hits fever-pitch
Anticipation reached fever-pitch on the second and final intermediate sprint at the end of Lap 12. Yet inexplicably, both the HTC-High Road and Rabobank lead-out men stuffed up their trains, with neither Goss nor Matthews gaining any of the bonus seconds on offer; for Goss, it ended up being a race-losing mistake. "Matty Goss was on my wheel and I was waiting for him to jump – but he didn't jump… so we both lost the sprint," said Matthews.
Predictably, another escape attempt went soon after, a seven-man move forging ahead that included the day's most aggressive rider, Stuart O'Grady. Three of the septet – O'Grady, Nicki Sorensen (SaxoBank) and Simon Zahner (BMC) – lasted all the way to the penultimate and nineteenth lap but with the stakes on offer in the group behind them, there was no way in hell they were going to survive.
Coming into the final kilometer-and-a-half, Hayman, Geraint Thomas, Henderson and Swift comprised the formidable train from Team Sky, and with the HTC-High Road and Garmin-Cervélo trains non-existent due to wear and fatigue, Henderson's lead-out was so good, Swift and he took the first two places over the line.
Swift's stage win also moved the British rider to third overall, and disappointingly for Matthews, bumped the Rabobank neo-pro to fourth on GC, one place ahead of his team-mate, Laurens Ten Dam.
Matthews said when he was told by his sport director he needed to win the stage to win overall, it planted a seed of confusion: "My DS said it over the radio with about five laps to go. (It) might have put me off a little bit because I wasn't really thinking about it – I was thinking about the sprint in the end. There were too many things going through my mind, so yeah, it might've stuffed m up a bit.
"Coming into the last lap, (I) just didn't have the experience these guys have in the last lap of a big race like this," he said, "and didn't quite have the speed and the technique to get to the front.
"(I'm) satisfied, but disappointed to be so close to a podium finish in the Tour Down Under. It was a good ride by the team but (I) just couldn't quite finish it in the end," said Matthews.

Bill Muirhead came from rural Illinois to the Lake Atitlán region in 2004 with a keen interest in the daily lives, labor, farming practices, and customs of the Maya who live there. His photos record the lives of Lake Atitlán residents from virtually every town in the surrounding area. This book presents over six years of cultural research − selected photos and text, which explore eight important themes of Mayan culture lakeside: Lake Atitlán; People; Washing and Weaving; Mother and Child; Coffee Harvest; Onion Harvest; Market Day; and Custom, Color and Ceremony.
Bill Muirhead (b. 1951) was born outside of Chicago and lives in Guatemala. He has exhibited his photographs around the Lake Atitlán region and Florence, Italy. He has a degree in Latin American history and has been published in articles about the culture of breastfeeding in Guatemala for La Leche League International's magazine Breast-feeding Today. His book, The Lords of Atitán: A Tribute to the Maya, has just been released. For more information, see www.lordsofatitlan.com.
Comentario publicado.
CamDossier dice The Lords of Atitlan, ordered from Blurb, arrived today. William, the author states "friendship and respect are the keynotes of his photographic style" and this beautiful book documents the special bond he has with his subjects, the Maya in Guatemala. Well done!

The battery is non-descript. It was replaced by the dealer when I bought it b/c the original had gone bad.
Sounds like you're getting intermittent power failure. I would absolutely check the battery cables- I had the exact problem at around the exact mile mark.Don't just eyeball them either. Take the cables off the battery and give the cable lugs a gentle pull. My bet is that one of them falls off in your hand.Replacements are easy to find. I picked up some heavy duty copper ones from NAPA parts, crimped and soldered them on, and I haven't had a problem yet.

- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4- to 5-inch sections
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ears of corn, removed from the cob (about 2 cups kernels)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/2 medium red onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime, plus extra lime wedges for serving
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
- Greek yogurt, for serving
- Sriracha, for serving
Combine cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper in a bowl. Rub aggressively into steak so that it is worked into all cracks and crevices.
Heat half of the oil in a 12-inch heavy bottomed cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Add half steak without overlapping or crowding the pan and cook until well browned on first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on second side and thickest part of steak registers 130°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a large plate to rest. Repeat with the remaining oil and steak and then add to the plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add the corn. Cook without moving until well-charred, about 3 minutes. Stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and keep cooking until well-charred on several sides, about 6 minutes total. Add the jalapeño, onion, and garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute longer. Add lime juice and scrape any browned bits off bottom of pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and reduce heat to low.
Spread the tortillas out over the mixture, overlapping as needed. Cover and cook until tortillas are softened and warm, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, slice steak thinly against the grain. Place tortillas on serving plates and top with the corn mixture. Top with steak, a dollop of yogurt, and a drizzle of sriracha as desired. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately with lime wedges.
