|Bennett is one of six CU grads with 4.0 GPA
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke's Amanda Bennett was one of six recognized at the May 8 commencement ceremony at the University of Colorado in Boulder, for having straight As throughout her college years.
For Bennett, the accomplishment marked 17 years of straight As, as she has never rated less than an A on any report card since she entered kindergarten at Holyoke Elementary School.
Only six out of the 5,500 CU graduates achieved the 4.0 status, and all were seated on stage at last Friday's graduation, as they were introduced individually, receiving their CU Chancellor's Award medals.
Bennett, who finished her B.A. degree in psychology in four years, graduated Summa Cum Laude, with distinction. She plans to go on to nursing school, with her ultimate goal to become a pediatric nurse practitioner.
Bennett was featured in an article in the Boulder Daily Camera, highlighting her fine achievement and the dedication required to obtain such high academic honors.
Having worked in the Cognitive Development Center in the psychology department at CU-Boulder, Bennett completed research on cognitive inhibition. She wrote an Honors Thesis and had to present and defend it in front of the Honors board.
Since her freshman year at CU-Boulder, Bennett has been a member of the Integrative Physiology Student Board, and has served as chair this past year. She has been a part of the Student Association of PreHealth Professionals and a member of its PreNursing subgroup.
In addition to campus involvement, Bennett has enjoyed volunteer work within the Boulder community. She volunteered in the cardiology department at Boulder Community Hospital and also at the Family Learning Center in the preschool and pre-kindergarten programs for underserved and minority families.
Bennett's self discipline and high standards have led her to high academic achievement as she works her way toward her career goals.
Family and friends joined in celebrating her achievement at Friday's commencement in Boulder.
Those attending included Amanda's parents, Mike and Susan Bennett, and sister Mallory, as well as her grandparents, Neil and Hilda Hassler and Peggy Bennett, all of Holyoke.
Also attending were Tom Bennett and Debbie Hoffner of Holyoke, Alan and Karla Hassler of Grand Junction, Charles Hassler of Denver, Paul and Bev Hassler of Colorado Springs and Dave Rice of Julesburg.

To the editor:
It looks like Chris Moncourtois sure hit the nail on the head in his Jan. 22 letter to the editor headlined, �School bond doesn�t square with facts,� concerning the proposed Onslow County school bond.
Seems to me the members of the Board of Education should go back to school themselves because their math skills leave a lot to be desired. While they are at it, they need to drag the county commissioners along with them.
The Marine Corps said it loud and clear when it published the plans for reducing the Marine population at Camp Lejeune and New River; so maybe the two august county boards need to have their eyesight and hearing checked, too.
Or is this school bond just a ploy so the county can float a bond for schools and then shift other money over to building their new offices in Burton Park?
Either way, Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River are the only viable industries in this county � the county commissioners and top 100 richest people in the county have seen to that.
With fewer Marines, the numerous restaurants, auto dealerships and furniture stores will surely suffer. We are still in a stagnant economy; yet county officials have yet to learn they must live within a budget � not create more debt.

NYC Politician Proposes Mandatory Parenting Classes for Parents; If Parents Don't Attend, Kids Won't Graduate from the 6th to the 7th Grade
So here's the algorithm.
1. Identify some problem. In this case, sure, it's true that some parents are genuine dumbasses and are close to legally unfit to raise a child (though not actually legally unfit).
2. Propose state action and state compulsion for all to take care of this problem.
They run this algorithm for each and every "problem" they see in society. And Step 2 is always the same: We need a law; we need compulsion; we need to empower the State over citizens.
As Vonnegut said of each death in Slaughter House Five, so we too can say of each freedom newly dead: And so it goes.

One of the star's of country music TV drama "Nashville" has landed a record deal thanks to his performances on the show.
Jonathan Jackson, who portrays bad boy Avery Barkley on the small screen, has signed to Loud & Proud Records, according to Billboard.
The former "General Hospital" star, who also fronts rock act Enation, says, "The last decade, really, I've had an amazing time just working really hard developing a sound and continuing to write songs and play everything. So I'm really grateful for the time that we've been doing things independently, but at the same time it feels great to have this happen.
"Being a part of a show like 'Nashville'… I knew from the very beginning that it was extremely important… It was pretty easy to see that at the least, I would get more exposure as a singer. For years, I've thought about a project or a way where I could do acting and music together, and I never really thought that would happen. Then 'Nashville' came along, and it was like a dream come true to marry both of those worlds."

It is time to give the lawn some attention. Follow the lawn maintenance schedule below and take note of our extra tips.
A lawn is of course the perfect ground cover. You can even use grass as ground cover a second time by scattering the cut grass under bushes, where it can simply be left to decompose.
This is especially beneficial for shrubs with roots close to the surface of the soil.
Nothing looks as fresh and vibrant as a carpet of green grass in your garden! In the summer, the grass has to put up with not just high temperatures but also high levels of humidity. So that you can get your lawn looking stunning even in August we will describe all the most important tasks here.

text: LEXINGTON, Va., July 15, 2013 – Giustino Iuliano '16 may be new to civil engineering, but he hasn't wasted any time getting hands-on experience in his major field.This summer, he's working alongside Col. Grigg Mullen'76, professor of civil engineering, to test the load-bearing capacity of floor joists used in traditional timber framing construction.The project is part of a larger effort by Mullen, a timber framing expert, to contribute to the knowledge base of that ancient art so information about the load-bearing capability of beams can be included in modern building codes."Historical precedent works, but modern building code folks want proof," said Mullen, who's been involved with timber framing for over 15 years. "As an engineer, we need something to hang our hats on instead of, 'Well, it's always been OK.'"To help expand the knowledge base for types of wood commonly found in Virginia, Iuliano is testing 12-foot timbers cut from four tree species: white pine, white oak, red oak, and poplar. For each type of wood, Iuliano is testing joists cut at three depths: two inches, three inches, and four inches. Moisture is a critical component in determining the strength of wood, so Iuliano measures the moisture content of each timber by weighing a sample, drying it in an oven and weighing it again afterward."Historically timber frames are built with green wood, so the frame is weakest when it's first assembled," said Mullen. Left to dry on their own, added Mullen, heavy timbers such as those Iuliano are testing could take up to a decade to dry completely. The oven simply speeds the process, he explained, so moisture content can be part of Iuliano's calculations.So far, Iuliano has found that the wood is losing a quarter or more of its weight in the oven.While the small pieces of wood are drying, Iuliano tests the timbers themselves. Using a jack similar to one used to lift an automobile, Iuliano applies pressure to each piece of wood for 20 minutes to measure how much stress the wood can take before cracking."We add pressure as a wind load," Iuliano explained. A load cell attached to the jack records the amount of pressure applied in each test.So far, Iuliano has found that the strongest of the massive timbers – a piece of white oak with a four-inch joist cut – withstood 28,000 pounds of pressure. By contrast, a piece of white pine with a two-inch cut failed at only 6,000 pounds.A typical residence, said Mullen, is usually designed to take about 2,000 pounds of pressure. "That's when you're having a frat party and everybody's dancing," he added.Mullen and Iuliano plan to present the results of their work at a meeting of the Timber Framers Engineering Council, to be held Aug. 7 in Burlington, Vt. "The goal [of that organization] is to get timber framing covered in the design codes," said Mullen.He continued, "The standard 2 x 4 construction stuff is well covered by the codes. It's the green heavy timber that drives the building code folks nuts."The longevity of timber frame buildings is not in question. On a trip to England, Mullen once visited inside a timber frame church built in A.D. 600 "If you keep a roof on it, it'll stand forever," he said.–Mary Price

When New Martinsville Police Chief Tim Cecil first started in law enforcement, he was a little apprehensive about arresting people he knew.
But after watching the members of his community and the children of friends ruin their lives with drugs, Cecil isn't shy about it anymore.
"When I first started it was harder. The fact that I've had to watch so many overdose and die - I'm tired of standing beside my friends, standing over a casket with their kid," Cecil said. "I have to put them in jail or they will die."

Late Wednesday, officers went to the Plaza Inn on W.Va. 2 to serve a warrant for third offense shoplifting on Amanda A. Long, 29, of New Martinsville. But what they ended up finding was an alleged crystal meth laboratory. Officers arrested Long and Michael R. Briggs, 25, also of New Martinsville for allegedly making methamphetamine.
"It's getting horrible. The sad thing is in a small town we watch these kids grow up. We see them grow up and meth and heroin take them over. It's our local people," Cecil said.
Cecil said during the past three weeks, his department has made five arrests involving meth operations. Most of these arrests involve a newer method to make the drug called "shake and bake."
"It's easy to make and quick and they get a quick high off of it," Cecil said.
Capt. Steve Kastigar said shake and bake can be just as dangerous as a larger meth operation.
"They do the mixing in 2-liter bottles. They let it sit and a chemical reaction occurs inside the bottle," Kastigar said. "A lot of times when they do it, they mix it and leave it on the side of the road. If it has a bad reaction, it explodes."
Cecil said to fund their drug addictions, many addicts have been stealing items, such as TVs, from Walmart and reselling them to get cash.
"I think it's everywhere," Cecil said of the crystal meth use. "We're just running into it more than we usually do."
At the Plaza Inn, as soon as officers realized what they were dealing with, they backed out of the hotel room for their own safety. West Virginia State Police were called in to dismantle the operation.
All the chemicals were removed from the room, but it still needs cleaned up before it can entered, Cecil said.

Levi Leipheimer opened up a defense of his SRAM Tour of the Gila title the same way he took his first red leader's jersey in the race a year ago — with a solo win on the mountain-top finish Mogollon stage.
In the women's race, 2007 Gila winner Mara Abbot (Peanut Butter & Co-Twenty12) sprung away from the field on the final climb and opened a 2 1/2 minute lead over second place.
Leipheimer, racing for the ad hoc Mellow Johnny's team with his RadioShack teammates Lance Armstrong and Jason McCartney, attacked a select group of about five riders with a mile to go on the steep winding ascent to the Mogollon ghost town.
Tom Danielson, racing for the ad hoc DZ Nuts team with his Garmin-Transitions teammates David Zabriskie and Tom Peterson, was second, passing a strong Cesar Grajales (OUCH-Bahati) in the final 200 meters. Fly V's Phil Zajicek was fourth. The most watched man in the race, Armstrong, finished 22nd at 1:46 behind his teammate.
Early break, low winds
The miles of windswept rollers preceding the difficult climb to nearly 7,000 feet elevation means early breakaways are almost always doomed on the Mogollon stage.
Nevertheless, in the men's race, attacks began as soon as the neutral zone ended outside Silver City, and with 5k a group of ten was off the front, trading pulls and expanding its lead rapidly. The group included two Trek-Livestrong riders and one Holowesko Partners rider. Since Trek-Livestrong is closely allied with the Mellow Johnny's team, and the Holowesko team is associated with DZ Nuts, the six ProTour riders in the peloton were content to let the group go. Bissell, Fly V and Rubicon-Orbea also were represented, so chase duties, in the first half of the race, were left to UnitedHealthcare, Spidertech and Jamis-Sutter Home.
The break:
Frank Pipp (Bissell)
Darren Rolfe ( Fly V)
Walker Savidge (Holowesko)
Jason Allen (Rubicon-ORBEA)
Jonathan Garcia (Team Rio Grande)
Alex Dowsett (Trek-Livestrong)
Ben King (Trek-Livestrong)
Andrew Dahlheim (Metro Volkswagen)
Victor Riquelme (Trisports Cycling)
Marsh Cooper (Trek Red Truck)
Carson Miller (unattached)
Forecast strong winds materialized as medium-strength breezes that were sometimes tailwinds, and not a major issue. The break quickly established a large gap that grew to more than 9 minutes as the race began two mid-race loops through the towns of Gila and Cliff.
With considerable climbing talent and GC ambition in the field, the breakaway would likely have to reach the bottom of the 6.7-mile Mogollon climb with a gap of at least three minutes for any of its members to dream of a stage win. However, soon after the loops (which included two passes through a feedzone), the peloton got down to business.
Mellow Johnny's McCartney began taking some monster pulls, as did some of the DZ Nuts and Holowesko riders. Although race radios were banned, the break got frequent updates on the gap from the official time board moto. And the news was not good, as the gap tumbled to five, three and two minutes, and then to just 1:20 as the race hit Pleasanton, 14 miles from the finish.
Dowsett, the British U23 time trial champion, snagged the sprints jersey by winning one of the intermediate sprints and coming second in the other. As the break hit the first steep climbing out of Glenwood, it quickly lost half its riders. Before the very steepest climbing the course crosses a wind-swept plateau, Whitewater Mesa. Here, Dowsett, who does not have a climber's build, bravely attacked the remnants of the break, putting 12 seconds on them.
Looking down on the mesa from mid-way up the narrowing finish climb, the results of the increased pace in the main field were evident: as Dowsett pulled away from the break, a group of about 25, including most of the favorites, was visibly traveling faster toward them. Behind the 25, riders in ones and twos chased. The starting field of 177 was nearly decimated before the leaders even crossed the mesa.
Zabriskie put in an attack, and Jamis Sutter Home's Luis Amaran countered and got a gap, but was soon reeled in as the pack caught in past the last of the breakaway remnants. With a mile to go, the group was whittled down to a half-dozen, who were testing each other with attacks. Just after the 1 mile marker, Leipheimer countered a move by Grajales and began pulling away, while Danielson kept a steady pace.
Besides the steepness, all of the top riders were acutely aware of the altitude.
"It was just really painful. There's nothing like altitude," Leipheimer told VeloNews. "By the time we got to the last k, it was every man for himself, just go the speed you can go. It was harder than last year because last year I had a little gap and I could back off a little bit. Here I continually had to push and push all the way to the finish just to maintain what gap I had and get the stage win."
Danielson also was feeling the effects. "I tried to ride my own speed, because it's important at altitude to save your bullets, and (Leipheimer) started to come back, which was good the see," he said. Grajales, who was unfamiliar with the climb, did not time his attack as well and Danielson was able to roll by him in the last 200 meters.
The time gaps between the top 20 were considerably smaller than last year, when Leipheimer crossed the line 49 seconds ahead of Peter Stetina. This year the top ten riders were all within 50 seconds of Leipheimer.
"(Mogollon) is a real short climb; it's a good indication on who is going well, but it's not the race," Danielson said. "I think the time trial and the final stage is the key. Today it's important to not lose too much time and stay close."
Among the riders who stayed close were fourth-placed Zajicek and fifth-placed Andrew Talensky (California Giant/Specialized), who now leads the young rider competition. Three-time Gila overall winner Burke Swindlehurst, Zabriskie and yes, Armstrong, all were close enough to remain in contention, as well.

Women's race: Samplonius' long ride
In the women's race Anne Samplonius (Vera Bradley Foundation) attacked soon after the feed zone and set out on a solo break, winding up a nearly 9-minute lead at one point. Much as in the men's race, however, after the halfway point the peloton began the chase, with Peanut Butter & Co. putting four riders on the front, hoping to deliver Abbott to the base of the climb with no one ahead of her.
"We knew that Mara Abbott could outclimb anyone here, but we wanted to make her work for it and force her team to chase," said Samplonius. "I was hoping some others would come with me, but I guess they thought it was too early."
And, much like the men's break a little later in the day, Samplonius was finally reeled in on the first ramps of the Mogollon climb (For her efforts, Samplonius took the first points jersey). Just before the catch, a crash took down several riders, including Just before the final climb began, a crash occurred, which took down a large group of riders, including Colavita's Carmen Small and TIBCO's Meredith Miller and Amanda Miller. After the crash Peanut Butter's Catherine Carroll and Alisha Welsh drove the group into the climb before Abbott sprung away.
Abbott quickly opened a huge gap and Cheatley, Alison Powers (Vera Bradley), Mattis and Colavita's Andrea Dvorak traded blows behind. Mattis fell back on the early steeps but found her rhythm late in the climb and caught and passed Powers and Welsh to take third.
While Mattis called Abbott's ride "brilliant" she said no one is conceding the race this early. This Gila boasts its strongest field ever, and three or four teams have leaders capable of challenging for the win.
"There are a lot of teams with depth here," Mattis said. "It's going to be four more days of great racing."

San Francisco Hotel Guide
San Francisco's Great Hotels
Are you ready for a little California love in a city that everybody loves? Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own story. You'll enjoy picking out a hotel in an area that features everything from iconic landmarks to quirky local attractions. Nothing is quite as exciting as pushing open the curtains in your hotel room and savoring views of the sun breaking through grey clouds over the glistening Golden Gate Bridge.
As you begin your search for a comfortable place to stay, you'll discover that hotels in San Francisco range from luxurious to eccentric. The city's status as a hub of commerce and industry means you'll have no trouble finding a place that accommodates the needs of business travelers. You'll also find plenty of luxury hotels that offer you the chance to sleep in a plush bed or enjoy a massage as the trolleys roll past your window. Of course, there are also many historical hotels that are time capsules of the city. Do you love being in the center of the action? You can enjoy sweeping views and access to some of the most popular attractions when you book a stay near Fisherman's Wharf. Also keep in mind that many of the city's accommodations are clustered around Union Square. This plaza there features some of the most celebrated shops and restaurants, too. The good news is that it's possible to find cheap hotel deals in San Francisco regardless of what neighborhood you have your heart set on.
The Best Time to Touch Down in San Francisco
Aside from amazing views and incredible landmarks, San Francisco has pleasant weather. The city is known for its Mediterranean climate and soothing breezes. During the winter, revel in mild temperatures while the rest of the country is blanketed in snow. Wintertime temperatures rarely dip below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, spend summer days walking all around the city without worrying about high temperatures spoiling your fun. It's a refreshing fact that temperatures only exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit a handful of times per year.
Getting Around San Francisco
Are you curious about the best way to navigate your way through the famous hills of San Francisco? While you definitely want to spend some time on foot exploring the hairpin turns that make this city so famous, having some other transportation options in mind is a smart idea.
The best way to give your calves a break is to rent a car of your own for jutting through the twists and turns of the landscape. In addition, the San Francisco Municipal Railway offers a mix of light rail and buses. Hop on one of the city's famous cable cars for the full San Francisco experience. These cars service all of the postcard-worthy spots that are essential when touring the city. If you plan to take a road trip to Yosemite, the option of grabbing a car rental in San Francisco will be particularly attractive to you because it offers you the chance to get up and go whenever you want.
Plan Fun Things to Do in San Francisco during the Day and Night
Looking for the best things to do in San Francisco? Book a San Francisco hotel within easy access of the city's hottest attractions. Be sure to mark your map for famous spots like Lombard Street, the Palace of Fine Arts, Ghirardelli Square, and the Filbert Steps when researching hotels in San Francisco. Staying within walking distance of the water will make visiting the seals at Pier 39 and picking up some fresh sourdough bread at a bakery at Fisherman's Wharf a breeze. In addition, many people treasure the opportunity to stay near Chinatown.
While daylight hours offer clear views of the bay and access to fun museums, nighttime is when San Francisco earns its eccentric reputation. The Ashbury Heights neighborhood presents the chance to enjoy bars and clubs that embody the hip, bohemian vibe that has been around for decades. If you plan to be up while the sun is down, check out hotels near the acclaimed clubs and bars in North Beach and Union Square.
Expedia Offers the Best San Francisco Hotel Deals

Toby Keith's bandmates have escaped serious injury after their tour bus caught on fire in Indiana on Monday.
The "Red Solo Cup" hitmaker's musicians were travelling along Interstate 65 on Sunday night when driver Randy James realised the back of the bus had erupted in flames, prompting him to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road.
Keith's crew members escaped unharmed and fire fighters were able to put out the blaze, although authorities estimate the 1998 Prevost sustained nearly $250,000 in damages.
Local officials shut down the highway for several hours to conduct a proper investigation and clean up the debris, but the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Two local Catholic schools Four Star Schools
Two local Catholic schools are on the state's list of Four Star Schools.
INDIANAPOLIS — Two local Catholic schools — St. Thomas the Apostle School and St. Vincent de Paul School, both of Elkhart — are on this year's list of Four Star Schools.
According to the Indiana Department of Education, to be on the list of Four Star Schools in Indiana, a school must be in the top 25th percentile of schools in Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress Plus (ISTEP+) testing results. This year's 313 Indiana Four Star Schools made the list based on their ISTEP+ scores from the 2011-12 school year.
Along with St. Thomas and St. Vincent, 12 local public schools are also on this year's list. An earlier article did not include the local Catholic schools.

Roadrunner Transportation Services acquires Morgan Southern
February 09, 2011
Non asset-based third-party logistics services provider Roadrunner Transportation Services (RRTS) recently announced it has acquired all of the outstanding stock of Morgan Southern, a privately-held provider of intermodal transportation and related services for roughly $20 million.
Based in Conley, Georgia, Morgan Southern serves several key intermodal markets with 19 terminals in the United States and a customer base comprised of direct shippers, intermodal marketing companies (IMC), steamship lines, and other port and rail related transportation industries.
During its fourth quarter earnings conference call yesterday, RRTS President and CEO Mark DiBlasi said that the acquisition provides a new service offering to the company's truckload segment and expands its geographic profile.
"It also enables us to capitalize on favorable trends in the intermodal sector driven by growth in international trade and continued improvements in rail efficiency," he said. "Aside from these overall strategic factors, our rationale for acquiring Morgan Southern is as follows: the domestic intermodal drayage market has generated approximately $4 billion in annual revenues, with several companies—or IMCs—having internal operations and the balance being fragmented."
This, said DiBlasi, presents both risk and opportunity in the sector. And he added that in RRTS' view high-quality companies will have growth opportunities at the expense of competitors. Morgan Southern, he added, has an excellent industry reputation for quality and service. He cited how even in instances where customers have internal drayage operations and plans to expand them, they still anticipated growth with Morgan Southern, which he expects to grow significantly with the backing of RRTS.
Morgan Southern management will continue to be led by Ben Kirkland, head of operations since 1996. DiBlasi explained that the fit with the management team and the culture of Morgan Southern eliminates one of the largest and most underappreciated risks of any acquisition.
In 2010, Morgan Southern generated approximately $57 million in revenue and $4 million in EBITDA. RRTS expects the acquisition to be accretive to its net earnings in 2011 and beyond.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst David Ross wrote in a research note that this deal has multiple potential benefits for RRTS.
"Due to seamless management transition, the company believes it can grow the [Morgan Southern] revenue base in 2011," wrote Ross. "Roadrunner will give them more resources to grow (in addition to a much bigger account base) than they had in past under conservative private owner, and MS can leverage the company's salesforce and provider relationships."
Morgan Southern was advised during the sales process by EVE Partners, an Atlanta-based transportation and logistics M&A firm.

CGEM rail
Posted 22 February 2009 - 11:05 AM
Just got my CGEM from Astronomics...went to put my C11 on it and found out the rails do not fit. The dovetail does not seem to be deep enough to fit into the mounts saddle. So....someone please tell me where to get a proper dovetail so I can use this beautiful mount.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 01:04 PM
That said there are a some variables, unfortunately some vendors have machined dovetail rail/plates (the bigger D compatible ones are often called plates instead of a rail) in sizes that can be a problem in other vendor's saddles. Generally you won't go wrong with a "real" Losmandy D plate or one from a good quality vendor such as ADM.
What is on your C11? Something in the back of my mind reminds me that there was something "funny about the saddle on LXD650s ... but I'm not certain about that. I no longer know anyone who has one that I can check with.

Can you provide us with a picture of your current C11 rail and how it attaches to the LXD650?
It turns out that there are a variety of ways to attach a scope to an LXD650, and most likely as Dave is assuming is that your C11 has a vixen compatible rail on it (a vixen compatible rail is 1.75" wide at it's widest point). If this is true then you have a few options.
Add a vixen compatible adapter to your CGEM ... as Dave mentioned Scopestuff has an nice SS_TV2 adapter for $89, ADM has a LOS-VIX for $99.
The other approach that I was suggesting in my earlier post is to replace your existing rail (whatever it is) with a Losmandy D plate (Losmandy DC11) which is available for $95-100.
The adapters won't require any extra work (if your existing rail is really a vixen compatible one) and are a few dollars cheaper. The new plate will be more solid and will put the scope a bit closer to the mount (less counterweight required).
Personally I think a vixen rail on a C11 is ok for visual work but doesn't make sense for imaging, especially if you're going to piggyback a refractor on the C11 as well ... it's just not stiff enough to prevent any flexing with all that weight on it. The larger Losmandy D plates will support quite a bit more weight without any flexing.

Thanks for clearing that part up ... there's obviously no need for any rail/plate 101 discussion.
So your Losmandy D plate doesn't fit well in the stock CGEM saddle ... hmmmm, this is interesting. All the initial reports on the CGEM were that the saddle looked and measured like any other Losmandy D compatible saddle. For comparison the existing CGE (not CGEM) saddle works fine with the Losmandy D plates.
Any chance of a picture of the miss match with your setup?
I do know that Celestron CGE rails and Losmandy D plates are slightly different, the sides of the CGE rail are indeed a bit "deeper". The CGE rail also tends to fit slightly loosely in real Losmandy D saddles but that the ADM D saddles by the nature of their design have enough latitude to handle this, so perhaps the CGE rail is also going to be the one that fits the best in the CGEM's saddle.
It is likely that the quickest fix for you is to use the real orange Celestron CGE rail (they are one piece with no radius blocks) for your C11.

Is the whole angled side of the dovetail in contact with the angled side of the saddle?
Is the lower area of the plate (where the holes are in your picture ... just above the angle side of the dovetail) in contact with the topside of the saddle?
If yes to both questions then I think you are fine. Yes that's a pretty big gap under the plate but some gap is not unusual and if the whole angled side of the dovetail is in good contact (on both sides) with the saddle then that is the most holding power the saddle can exert on the dovetail. The dovetail plate resting on the bottom of the saddle doesn't provide any holding power.
Sure having a dovetail that is in contact with the whole saddle side plate would provide more piece of mind but I don't think it would be any more solid. You will have to ensure that the dovetail is properly seated in the saddle before tightening it down and moving the mount but I don't think that is any different than anyone else with a big scope and a Losmandy D plate.
This picture is my C11 with it's Losmandy DC11 mounted on a CGE saddle. The sides of the dovetail and the saddle line up well but there is a gap under the plate ... in my case it's just a bit more than 1/16".

Obvious poor assumption that you had a CG5 dovetail rail as so many C11s are sold with this rail. Frankly I am very surprised and would have never guessed you were using a Losmandy d series dovetail. I have always understood the conventional widom to be that the Losmnady and CGE dovetails are 100% compatible. So much for conventional wisdom.
I'm still very confused.
I totally agree with the previous post that on a C11, a CGE or Losmandy dovetail fit right to the saddle would be far more secure than an adapter. On my lighter tubes that all have CG5 type rails including the F8 6" achro the adapter works OK, but this is certainly a totally different problem, and one I would have never anticipated. Keep us posted on your solution, and good luck.
Posted 22 February 2009 - 05:40 PM
I think I'd experiment with the D plate and CGEM saddle and see where the saddle would "let go" of the plate. See just how much the saddle has to open before the plate can slip out. That may help your piece of mind. If it's close and you're still uncomfortable with the setup then I think the CGE plate in place of the Losmandy plate will be the way to go. Either that or replace the CGEM saddle but I don't think that is an option from any vendor ... yet.

Not to be too critical, but should Celestron sell this mount without a mounting plate or rail? Do they expect us to make one ourself? That is a pretty important part for them not to supply. Borderline rediculous to me.
The mount manufacturer has no idea what type of optical tube will be installed - and thus no idea of the kind of dovetail rail (length? radius blocks? flats for rings?) the user will need. Takahashi and Astro-Physics don't provide rails (or even saddles) for this reason but nobody seems to complain. It'd make more sense to blame those OTA manufacturers who don't provide a rail of letting the customer down - but, of course, there are two very common dovetail sizes and the OTA manufacturer doesn't know which you'll need for your mount.
Whatever type of rail is required for a given optical tube, it is readily available from the usual sources - primarily Losmandy and ADM. By the way - Losmandy doesn't include a rail with their mounts, either.

Personal preference. The rail that comes with the OTA that actually comes with a CGEM in the kit is different from the d style. It is indeed a little deeper and fits better.

Doug Stanglin, USA TODAY
Five people -- including 4 kids under the age of 8 -- were killed in a house fire early Wednesday in Oklahoma City.
There were conflicting reports initially on the ages of the victims, but the Associated Press quotes Fire Major Tammy McKinney as saying the dead include four children -- ages 2 to 8 -- and one adult.
One other adult was hospitalized in critical condition, McKinney said.
Battalion Chief Randy Cornelius said the interior of the home about a mile east of Lake Hefner in northwest Oklahoma City appeared completely "gutted" by the fire, the Associated Press reported.
NewsOK quoted a neighbor, Toni Wyatt, as saying she rushed over to the fire after smelling smoke and hearing three loud pops at 6:30 a.m. CT.
"I heard a guy yelling, 'Help! Help!' I went over to see what was going on and helped pull the guy out of the house," Wyatt told NewsOK.

Game is no stranger to controversy and isn't afraid to hold back when it comes to criticism of his work. Chuck Taylor has lashed out at FOX News correspondent Michelle Malkin after she called the cover art for his Jesus Piece album blasphemous, speaking with DJ Skee about how he wants to boycott the network.
"It's basically there's a reporter on FOX News 11 named Michelle Malkin who voiced hate for the album cover and racist remarks because of what is our art form, what is something as simple as just art in the album cover," he explained. "We artists, and everything we do is artistic from the music to fashion to covers."
He went on to say that he's calling for a boycott of the network and that he will relentlessly see to it that it gets "shut down." "She has no place to make racial remarks or call the album blasphemous. This is the same lady who said President Obama is not American. I don't know the rationale, it doesn't make sense at all," he continued. "I was a big supporter of FOX News. I grew up on The Simpsons. they come on FOX 11, and now I'm going to do everything I can to shut them down because we can't allow that, especially going into a new year."
Malkin was met with threats and expletives on her Twitter account, to which she responded, "Note that @thegame and his fans use his salary to justify bad behavior. He makes more than me, so it's ok to call me a [insert expletive]."

Aston Villa, Fulham, Newcastle, Spurs & West Ham target's future to be sorted in days
23:27 27 May 2012
EMPICS Sport
Transfer News: Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs and the assistant manager believes his future will be sorted this week
Huddersfield assistant manager Glynn Snodin has revealed that the future of star striker Jordan Rhodes will be sorted within days.
The 22-year-old, who scored 40 times last season as the Terriers won promotion to the Championship, has been linked with moves to Aston Villa, Fulham, Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham, although the club have reportedly slapped an £8million price tag on the striker.
"He has been fantastic. Hopefully over the next three, four or five days things should be getting sorted out with Jordan, his agent, the chairman and see where we go with that then," Snodin told talkSPORT.
"It will be down to the club what Jordan is looking for and what Jordan Rhodes wants to do as well.
"Whatever happens, if he is going to stay, fantastic, if he is going to leave then everybody is going to pat him on the back because what he has done for this club has been absolutely out of this world."

More info: The Fells is located at 465 Route 103A, Newbury. For more information call 763-4789 or visit thefells.org.
EDITOR'S NOTE: New Hampshire is home to a number of gardens of historical significance that are open to the public. This is the first in an occasional series profiling some of them.
NEWBURY -- When John Hay inhabited The Fells about 120 years ago, the property lived up to its name: a vast expanse of wild moorland.
"During those first 15 years, it was mainly just fells land; you can picture grazing sheep and rocks and grasses," said David Bashaw, acting executive director for The Fells.
But in the hands of Hay's son Clarence, the grounds were transformed into the lush and color-filled wonderland that still exists today.
"Walking through the gardens really is like walking back in time," Bashaw said.
The Fells started out its life as a summer house for John Hay, Abraham Lincoln's private secretary who later became secretary of state. Built in 1891, the post-colonial style house was Hay's refuge until his death in 1905.
Clarence Hay and his wife Alice inherited the house.
"It wasn't until 1909 that the first formal garden was built,'" Bashaw said. "And that was the 'Old Garden.'"
The Old Garden, was restored in 2009. In that case, restoration meant cutting back 100 years worth of plants that had become overgrown, replacing some grasses and plants with historically accurate plants using old photographs as guides, and repairing the fountain and pebble areas.
The Old Garden still has its original layout, said The Fells' master gardener Joe Thompson, but now it also contains plants that can handle the shade that has developed over the years.
"The toad lilies and the bugbane are real standouts for the perennials, but the Kousa dogwood put on a beautiful show this year," Thompson said. "Actually it did this everywhere on site. We have several. One is still blooming in the Pebble Court at the main house."
Two more gardens were added in the 1920s: the rose terrace and the perennial border.
The rose terrace was done in the early part of that decade and included the installation of a stone wall and urn fountain. Included in this garden are hybrid tea roses and a climbing hydrangea on the wall.
"I think (the choice of flowers) was a combination of reflecting what was popular," Bashaw said. "But also Clarence had taken some courses in horticultural landscape design so he probably had some favorites."
Bashaw said Hay's wife, Alice, also had her favorites as seen in the perennial garden, where flowers bloom in in red, white and blue — but never yellow.
"She apparently didn't like yellow," Bashaw said.
Currently, Thompson said, the perennial border is displaying Filipendula rubra "Venusta," also known as Martha Washington's Plume, and a variety of Salvia verticillata, known as "Purple rain."
"They're looking great and are easy to grow," Thompson said
However beautiful the flower gardens are, it's the Rock Garden for which The Fells is best known, Thompson said. Clarence Hay built it in the 1930s. Bashaw said this garden, which extends along the side of the house and into the woods, was a labor of love for Hay and an opportunity to do some experimentation.
All of Clarence Hay's notes on flowers that worked and didn't work are in the collection at The Fells. What he ended up with was more than 600 different species of rock and alpine plants that he tended.
"We have such a diversity of conditions from one garden to another," Thompson said. "Many of the plants in the (Rock Garden) have turned my head since I began to work here. I've begun to incorporate them into designs for private clients.
"This is where the diversity of conditions in one garden really goes to extremes. The plants near the rill and the bog — man-made — all have extensive water needs, while other areas are excessively drained and bake in the sun all day."
Though there are several actual gardens, Thompson is quick to point out that the Fells estate is itself a canvas filled with beautiful plants and wild things to discover.
"There are areas visitors walk through that may not feel like gardens, but they're worried over and cared for as though gardens," Thompson said.
"These are often the places I like the best — the mosses, lichens, ferns and shady perennials along the main drive, and the naturalized heathers, lowbush blueberry, highbush blueberry, along with the mosses and exposed ledge near the Roosevelt Maple.
"These areas don't really stand out to everyone, but they are still a big part of the experience."

About this font family
Winco family can be labelled a humanist sans-serif, but in spirit it is more closely related to that rather rare typeface category called 'glyphic' or 'incise'.
While conceiving Winco, Ramiro Espinoza studied the work of the masters of postwar book cover design: Helmut Salden, Boudewijn Ietswaart, Berthold Wolpe; among others.
He also looked into German and Czech traditions of expressive printing types that had such a strong presence in the earliest decades of the 20th century. More…

Applying the Technology Acceptance Model to Social Networking Sites: Impact of Subjective Norm and Social
Gilok Choi and Hyewon Chung
Monday, 6:30pm
With its heavy traffic and technological capabilities, social networking sites (SNS) introduced a new means of building and maintaining perceived social capital. This study aims to identify underlying factors and causal relationships that affect behavioral intention to use SNS. For this purpose, this research developed an extended technology acceptance model (TAM), incorporating subjective norm (SN) and perceived social capital (PSC) for predicting SNS acceptance and usage. Exploratory correlation and path analyses were conducted to identify the relationships between five constructs: Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived ease of use (PEOU), subjective norm (SN), perceived social capital (PSC), and intention to use (IU). The results showed that PU and PEOU had robust effects on the user's intention to use SNS. The research findings also demonstrated that SN and PSC were significant predictors of both PU and PEOU and therefore should be considered as potential variables for extending TAM.

1932 Ford Roadster Pickup - Eischen3Written by Eric Geisert on September 1, 2010 Jeff Eischen's '32 Roadster Pickup
Regular readers of STREET RODDER will recognize Jeff Eischen's name as he has built some spectacularly subtle hot rods, the last two of which have been featured in previous issues (a black Model A tub in the Feb. '08 issue and a black T roadster in the June '09 issue). But how can you build something that is spectacularly subtle? Though possibly a contradiction of terms, one can "do" subtle but, if it isn't enough, then it doesn't get noticed. Too much and it looks like a clown car. Getting the balance right is the trick, and Jeff has figured out the formula.
Jeff combines his racing heritage (he was a factory Jaguar Group 44 team member and has experience on Sebring, Le Mans, and Indy teams) with old-time hot rods and always seems to come up with a winner. He started his third project the way he has with his others: at the computer. CAD allows him to plan every aspect of the car, from the wheel and tire diameters to the suspension pickup points to where the body needs to be modified, all before he ever picks up his welding gun or any wrench. The design works because he's already figured it out ahead of time.
For this outing, Jeff chose a '32 roadster pickup, with its base being a chassis kit from Shadow Rods (he believes their 'rails are most like the factory ones) and a steel body sent in pieces from Brookville Roadsters. Based on his predetermined wheelbase of 109 inches, Jeff took the Shadow Rods 'rails and kicked both the front and rear sections to get his car low and then bobbed the horns up front for a clean look.
The rear suspension connects to a Currie 9-inch rear (2.73:1) and is comprised of Strange Engineering coilovers and an original '40 Ford split wishbone to which Jeff sleeved the inside with heavy wall tubing to reinforce the piece. The front suspension, which uses stronger '47 Ford split wishbones, did not get sleeved. But Pete & Jakes steering arms, Strange Engineering shocks, and a Durant monoleaf spring were used. Wilwood disc brakes are found on each corner, with the fronts hidden under SO-CAL Speed Shop faux drum covers. Steering is a little unusual in that the aluminum box under the dash is from a mid-'60s Mopar, which has a slow turning ratio. But with the longer pitman arm (that Jeff made) the ratio is sped up to the required 16:1. The car rolls on Rallye America artillery wheels, which were made for Jeff in a 16x5 and 16x7 size before being wrapped with Coker 5.00-16 and 7.00-16 rubber.
When checking in with a friend who was in the process of making a Pro Touring car out of a '67 Camaro, Jeff took the opportunity to snap up his 327 V-8, which was dropped off at M&M Head Service in Delaware, Ohio, for some mild porting and general attention. An Edelbrock manifold and 600-cfm carb were bolted on up top and a set of ram-horn headers were added to the stainless steel exhaust system that runs out a pair of MagnaFlow mufflers. Backed to a TH350 trans, the drivetrain connects to the rear via a Colman Machine (Menominee, MI) steel driveshaft.
As for the body, Jeff didn't take the easy road and get an assembled body from Brookville Roadsters but rather one that came in pieces. Though it added time to the build, Jeff was able to incorporate some of his integral bracing around the firewall and elsewhere so rigidity could be added. The hood, from Rootlieb, is a four-piece unit that Jeff welded the top pieces together to form a three-piece setup, even though the stainless strip up top was retained for appearance sake. After making the stainless tube and screen grille insert, Jeff sent the body over to Mullins Body Shop in Galloway for bodywork and paint. The father and son team of Harry and Ron Mullins prepped the body before spraying it with PPG black paint.
Inside the cockpit a '32 dash holds the gauge insert Jeff made for the two Classic Instrument gauges (wired up with a Centech box). He also fabbed the steering column before attaching a mid-'60s Jaguar steering wheel and he used Dynamat before the upholstery went in. Living, as Jeff says, "out in the sticks" means he has to take the upper hand in doing the upholstery in his rides. He designs them first, finds and cuts the material (in this case a vinyl that looks like distressed leather), makes everything that is needed (the bench seat as well as the door panels), then takes the whole package to Tri-Tex Custom Upholstery in Columbus, so they can sew it all up. Once that's done, he takes it home and installs it and the square-weave carpet himself. After adding the home-hewn and stained oak panels to the bed (attached with Brookville strips) and the custom spun aluminum gas tank to the bed, the truck was ready for its first drive.
We caught up with Jeff at the Goodguys Columbus Nationals, where he picked up a STREET RODDER Top 100 award for his efforts. With his last two cars both being bought by a Southern California collector, it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine this car also being sold, but Jeff says it isn't going to happen. After selling off a few of his past creations he thought he'd like to keep this one and go to some local cruises and be a "normal" hot rodder. He hasn't stopped building, though, as he is finishing up a custom Model A coupe (built by Marcel De Ley and originally assembled at Boyd Coddington Hot Rods before Coddington's death in 2008) for another California customer. For us, it doesn't matter where these cars Jeff builds end up, just as long as we have a chance to view them before they disappear. Both a talented builder and subtle in his approach (think: cars from Lil' John, but with more style), Jeff is in a class by himself. We hope to see more rides coming out of Plain City in the near future and can't wait for the next one!

The pickup gets its stance from the kickup Jeff added to both the front and rear of the Shadow Rods chassis. Rallye America artillery wheels, 16x5 and 16x7, are wrapped in Coker 5.00-16 and 7.00-16 tires.When a friend didn't need a 327 for a Camaro he was building, Jeff picked it up and had Mike Rush of M&M Head Service in Delaware, OH, go through it by doing a mild port before the Edelbrock intake manifold and 600-cfm carb were added. The wires came from Mallory and the exhaust runs through 2-1/2-inch stainless tubes to the MagnaFlow mufflers.

Its always surprising that people are still largely unaware of the Koch brothers' and their secretive dark-money organization that is behind the climate change denial movement, the assault on womens rights and LBGT rights, right-to-work legislation, stand your ground laws, de-funding public education, privatizing prisons, you name it. Without any doubt, the Koch brothers are the biggest threat to the proverbial American Dream and a robust and healthy middle class.

This is a great product. As mentioned before they can be filled to any amount needed. If you buy a larger size and fill them short a 1/2-1 lbs they are more flexible and easier to place in the pockets. I simply write the actual weight on a piece of masking tape and place it on the tag (over the intended weight).

After reading the other reviews I thought this might be worthwhile. Disappointed! This DVD is only 21 minutes long and spends the first 5 minutes trying to convince you that you that bouyance is important. Isnt that why youre watching it to begin with? This DVD comes up short on specifics beyond adjusting your weights so that you float at eye-level. In other areas it seems to bring up more questions that it answers.

Disclaimer: I am totally new to Zimbra use and administration. I have very little knowledge of Zimlets or where to look for certain options. Bear with me!
I would like to duplicate the "Unread Mail" search folder. This folder displays only unread messages and indicates the number of unread messages by placing a number to the right of the folder name. I have setup a saved search in Zimbra which gets half of that functionality (displays all unread messages) but it still lacks the number indicator.
Does anyone have a method to duplicate this?
Additionally, when setting up a custom search that covers all folders... does each folder need to be checked?

Before now, your baby's digestive system wasn't mature enough to properly digest anything other than breastmilk or formula. But now, his stomach can hold a little more and the digestive tract is a little more developed. He is growing rapidly and by the middle of the first year, his natural stores of Iron may begin to deplete. The time may be right to introduce Iron-rich infant cereal, but check with your pediatrician before doing so.
Never introduce infant cereal from a bottle, only from a spoon.

George Toma inducted into Royals Hall of Fame
This evening, the Royals inducted long-time head groundskeeper George Toma into the Royals Hall of Fame. He worked for the Royals until 1997, but still keeps active as a consultant at the Super Bowl each year and at the Minnesota Twins spring training fields in Fort Myers Florida. Toma becomes the 25th member of the Royals Hall of Fame, the first groundskeeper. Toma spent his whole life since the age of 13 (70 years) dedicated to keeping ball fields looking their finest and living by his three words "and then some." What George meant by these simple three words was to always do your job and then some. Going above and beyond what is expected was how George lived his life and did his job.
Toma was born a coal miner's son in Pennsylvania. His family had just enough to get by. George's dad passed when he was only ten and he said he did not want to work the mines. "I took my first job at 13 on a vegetable farm making 50 cents per hour," George said. He went on to talk about his second job being on a chicken farm making around one dollar an hour if not less. He said it was around that time when he was given his first groundskeeping job at the young age of 13 with the Class-A Eastern League affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.
George continued working in baseball and was offered a job with the Kansas City A's at old Municipal Stadium in 1957. He said when he first went to Kansas City to get a look at the field it was just awful. He said there was not much grass at all and what was there was crabgrass or not very good. "The players would actually pick the crabgrass out of the infield themselves," George said. He took the job in Kansas City, even after the warnings from a friend telling him not to. He had been warned that in Kansas City it floods in the spring and bakes in the summer, but he took the job anyway. He took the job because he wanted the challenge and because he always kept those three words close, "and then some."
George Brett complimented Toma during an induction speech saying that he prided himself as a player to always be the first one to the ball park in the morning and being the last one to leave. He said he never once in his entire career beat Toma to the field in the morning and he was always there whenever he left.
Toma said in his 70 years in sports he never met a bad player or a bad owner. He did say he had his difficulty with front office staff, but that is going to happen when you are negotiating seed prices and other necessities for the field. He followed that up with also saying in his 70 years in and around the game he never had a bad day. He said it is such an honor to be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame and it means so much to him. He then looked around the room filled with former and current front office and Royals staff as well as former Royals and said everyone had a hand in getting him to where he is today. He said without everyone in Kansas City and elsewhere along his journey he would not be where he is today and would not be going into the Royals Hall of Fame. He then finished by thanking everyone again and said that everyone has a fingerprint on his Hall of Fame induction and that without them, there would be no George Toma.
