What's the best/most fun Midwest vacation spot for a three day weekend type deal?
I know a lot of people who go to the Wisconsin Dells.
I'm a camping and fishing type myself.
Somerset, WI. Tube the Apple River. Comsume extreme amounts of adult sodas. The whole camp ground is one giant party.
NHL teams need to be added to the favorite teams section.

That is really hard to answer. Maybe add a little more to the question. i.e., what types of activities do you enjoy?, how much do you want to spend?, etc..
If you have kids and are looking at an overnight thing, Waterloo has a great waterpark that is convienently located next to a ca$ino. Plenty of fun in the sun for the kids during the day (it's a pretty big park and is a lot of fun) then go karts in the evening. The rooms at the casino are really cheap (~$60) and you and the wife can hit up the ca$ino floor for a while when the kids go to bed. I know Waterloo gets a bad wrap, but Lost Island Waterpark is a really awesome place, especially if you don't want to head up to the Dells.
I am from SW Ia along Mo. border. Took a week-end trip to Dubuque with my High School age family. Nobody from this area does that. It was a great time and a very interesting and beautiful setting on the Mississippi. I think the park was called Eagle State Park but the view of the city, river, locks and other States was awesome from this vantage point. If you are from Western Ia., I highly recommend this spot for an in-state three day trip or even two dayer.
Fort Dodge
Apple River hands down! Yes Ft. Dodge is a close 2nd.
Excellent Zoo (free)
Science Center (free)
Six Flags
Cardninals game
Terrific food (Sous Lard neighborhood for cajun and blues)
Nightlife (Washington Ave is my favorite. Others like Westport)
The Landing/Arch/Riverfront
Gateway Int'l Raceway (Nationwide Series is there in July I believe)
*Don't waste your time at Union Station
Or you could go to Waterloo or Ft Dodge like suggested.
My personal best place to a 3-day trip: Duluth, MN & North Shore

Door County Wisconsin is a great place. Went camping there with the kids. Nice state park with a golf course on the bay, nice for hiking and biking and of course the fish boils. It it's just adults, Mackinac Island is a lot of fun. No cars on the island, get around by horse and buggy or bike. Lots of history and fudge.
This would be my choice as well.

[Student Financial Aid]
The University of Alabama has an extensive scholarship program based on academic achievement, leadership, and/or financial need. Achievement-based and leadership scholarships are awarded by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the National Alumni Association, undergraduate colleges and schools, and various other scholarship committees. These scholarships are offered to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic potential (usually those with ACT scores of 26 or higher or SAT scores of 1170 or higher, and high-school or college grade point averages of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale). Students with outstanding academic records and/or demonstrated leadership are encouraged to apply.
To be considered for need-based scholarships, a student should have a minimum ACT score of 26 (or an SAT score of 1170 or better) and a high-school grade point average of least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Please note that some need-based scholarships also require completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Information about University of Alabama scholarships can be reviewed online by clicking on the Guide to Undergraduate Scholarships link at scholarships.ua.edu or requested by contacting The University of Alabama, Scholarships, Box 870132, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0132; (205) 348-5666 or 1-800-933-BAMA; e-mail email@example.com.
A grant is "gift aid" that does not have to be repaid. Only undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degrees are eligible for grants. Three grants are available at The University of Alabama:
Federal Pell Grant. The Federal Pell Grant program is based on financial need. The amount of a Pell Grant varies depending on eligibility.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is a federal program based on exceptional financial need and availability of funds. The amount of SEOG awards varies. To be considered, a student must be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant.
Alabama Student Assistance Program. The Alabama Student Assistance Program is a grant program based on financial need and availability of funds. Only Alabama residents are eligible to receive these grants, which vary in amount.
Student Loans
Student loan programs provide long-term, low-interest loans for students. Student loans must be repaid with interest.
Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Perkins Loan is based on financial need and availability of funds. It has an annual interest rate of 5 percent. Repayment does not begin until nine months after graduation or when a student is no longer enrolled at least half-time. The maximum amount that can be borrowed by a student for each academic year is determined annually and is based on the availability of funds.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loans)
The University of Alabama participates in the Direct Student Loan program. This means the University receives loan funds directly from the U.S. Department of Education and disburses them to eligible students. Loans disbursed through this program no longer involve private lending institutions such as banks or credit unions. The types of loans disbursed through the program are as follows:
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan. The Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan program is based on financial need; recipients must be enrolled at least half-time. The loan has a variable interest rate not to exceed 8.25 percent (the rate is set each July 1 by the U.S. Department of Education).
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans are awarded by the University. Repayment of Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans does not begin until six months after graduation or when a student is no longer enrolled at least half-time.
Maximum annual Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized Loan awards (based on eligibility) are as follows:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan program is not based on financial need, but is designed to make loans available to students from middle-income families who are not eligible for the Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan. Unlike the subsidized loan, interest on an unsubsidized loan begins accruing as soon as the loaned funds are disbursed. Interest can be added to the principal or paid monthly or quarterly by the borrower. To be considered for the unsubsidized loan, students must apply for federal financial aid.
Maximum annual Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan awards are as follows, and include any amount received in a subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan:
|Dependent Students
|Independent Students
A total maximum (including both subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans) of $23,000 for dependent students or $46,000 for independent students may be borrowed for study toward the undergraduate degree. For study toward a graduate or professional degree, a total maximum of $138,500 may be borrowed, including any subsidized or unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan(s) received as an undergraduate.
Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The PLUS program is not based on financial need. The PLUS program is available to parents of dependent students. The interest rate is variable, adjusted annually, not to exceed 9 percent. A parent can borrow the difference between the cost of attendance (defined by Student Financial Aid) and the amount of the student's estimated resources.
Repayment of principal and interest of PLUS loans begins within 60 days after the loan is disbursed. PLUS loans are disbursed in two installments.
Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program is a federally funded work program based on financial need and availability of funds. One component of the program is student participation in community service designed to improve the quality of life of a community's residents or to solve particular problems those residents experience.
Work-study students may work on or off campus for an average of 12 to 15 hours of service weekly. They are paid every two weeks for the hours worked.
A listing of available work-study positions (including community service positions) is made available to students who attend the University's work-study orientation session.

Its that time of year again, trying to figure out where to submit for tags out here in the west. Since Utah and Wyoming seem to start off the year at least for me anyway and I ruled out Utah since I have no Elk points anymore and only 4 points for Antelope in that state I turned my attention to Wyoming. Well at least before figuring out what to do in New Mexico and California then taking considering Nevada, Arizona and Montana.
Sitting in a duck blind back in December with a friend of mine we started talking about planning an Antelope trip in Wyoming. I went to work reviewing past issues of my Eastmans magazines I have laying around. Soon we were trying how to narrow down the 4 or 5 areas we were looking at into the unit we want to submit for. Talking with a few people here, a couple different field biologists in Wyoming and digging even deeper into the information available here and on the Wyoming F&G web site I think we finally figured out where we were going to submit for Antelope.
In the meantime I kept thinking it over and over about a solo Elk hunt. Using the same methodology I started researching an elk hunt. I did not have max points and money is tight, but with all the information I gathered I made a choice and took a bit of a chance. With only 4 Elk points I applied for a "regular" tag and went for a unit 38 bull elk rifle tag (62% chance based on last years numbers). Needless to say I was stoked when I found out this week that I drew my tag.
Again, based on past statistics I should be able to use my 4 Antelope points, but this time going with a "special" tag and I should be able to draw the unit that my partner and I are looking at. A tough fought but successful battle with cancer forced me into retirement a couple years ago, but God seen it fit that I was able to recover enough to continue to hunt and I am so grateful for that. So it looks like the wife, the dog and I will be spending quite a bit of time in our 5th wheel in the great state of Wyoming this fall and really looking forward to it.
I don't know about all of you others, but I submit for many states for many different species each year and I usually have only one hunt I can count on and many more that are just long shots and shot-in-the-darks. Some years I get lucky, other years I am just happy to get the opportunity to hunt. This year I feel I hit the gold mine on the first shot and my upcoming fall schedule is just about set.
I just wanted to pass along a big thank you to the Eastmans for helping me out this year. The cost of the subscription doesnt even come close to the amount of information and resources that are available here. The stories from the members in the magazine is just gravy, now I just hope one of these upcoming Wyoming hunting trips turns into me submitting an article about the beauty and success of the trip.
Good luck to everyone out there in the upcoming draws and hunt hard, but hunt safe.
Well said.
I'm in 100% agreement. I have had subscriptions to other magazines that do a similar thing and IMO none come close to what the eastmans provide.
I agree! So much useful information for all of us! Congrats on beating cancer and good luck on filling you tags!
right on. the info. they provide can sure help a person get pointed in the right direction. thanks Eastman Crew.
Congrats on the tags..........go get em and bring back lots of pics..
Totally agree. Eastmans is by far my most favorite! Most hunting magazines have some sort of story in them that end up just annoying me. I love everything that Eastmans is about. Not to mention, I've met all you wonderful people!
couldn't agree more, Eastman's is a great resource. I'll thank God along with you for beating the cancer.Maybe our paths will cross in 38 this fall. Good luck!!

1970 Dodge Super Bee - Final DetailsWritten by on February 1, 2013 Contributors: Daren Irons It's official, our project Bee has finally reached the end of assembly
"Have we finally made it?" That's what I was thinking when the stripe went on. It had been eight years since I had purchased the Bee, and all along the way, I questioned myself on several occasions as to whether it would ever get done. Between family, the job, and life in general, I had reason to question the arrival of a final day. But lucky for me, Jack Irons and Russ Aderholdt refused to let me give up.
So here we are, we are to the final stages of our project build, and it's time to handle the final details. One of the most visual "final details" has to be the stripe on a '70 Superbee. The Scat Pack "bumble bee" rear stripe flanking the rear of the car had become a staple on Mopar muscle cars, but the '70 Superbee also had the option of a new, very unique stripe that accentuated the huge quarter panels of the Dodge B-Body. The reverse C-stripe is either a love it or hate it design, and personally, I don't hate it. But with the 'Bee not being a stock restoration, could we get a legitimate C-stripe in the color that we wanted? From the factory, the stripe was available in four colors, black, blue, white, and red. But we felt that something with a little more pop was in order. We called the guys at Graphic Express, and found out that they make their stripe kit available in custom colors, and that was just what we needed. So, with a quick phone call, we had our custom Silver-Metallic reverse C-stripe on the way.
We also needed to build an exhaust system, and since a factory system wasn't going to fit our needs, we had to go custom. If you remember correctly, the rear suspension on the 'Bee is now a triangulated four-link, and the link arms just happen to be in the same spot as the exhaust wanted to go. Also, as nice as the car is turning out, putting a plain aluminized exhaust under the car just didn't seem right, so we got some 3-inch stainless pipe and a couple of Dynomax mufflers, and built our own.

1. Before you can even begin ANY stripe install, you need to place the stripe in the proper location. Once the stripe kit is located, use some small pieces of masking tape do hold it in place. At this point, we have not removed any of the protective material from the stripe.3. By using a pencil and marking a line from the tape to the stripe, you now have locating points to get the stripe back in the proper location after the protective wax-type paper is removed. Once you have the lines marked, gently take a razor blade and cut the tape, separating it from the stripe. To reposition and permanently install the strip, simply align the pencil marks.4. If you just try to put the stripe on the car without using a lubricating solution (we use water with a little dish detergent in it), it will stick to the car before you want it to, and you will not get it off without ruining it.5. Peel the protective backer off of the stripe, and we the adhesive area and the location on the car receiving the stripe. This "solution will allow you to position the stripe. Once it is properly positioned, simply squeegee the solution out from under the stripe, and then carefully remove the outer protective coating.6. Some stripe kits come in multiple pieces, and require care to properly align them when installing. It helps to have a spare set of hands—or a complete helper.7. The opening for the side-marker lights is not precut in the stripe kit, and you'll have to do that yourself. It's easier to cut the opening after the stripe is attached, and before the protective film is removed.
10. Once we had the fitment we wanted, it was time to tack weld it together, and then pull it out to final weld it.

As anybody who has ever worked in food service or retail knows, the holiday season sucks. They just completely and totally suck. You're overworked, probably underpaid, everybody tips you less because they're trying to save money — which is understandable but nonetheless very frustrating — and your bosses are constantly stressed out at you. Oh, and people will yell at you. For no reason. Just… no reason. You'll smile sweetly because you have to, but inside, you will contemplate headbutting them with the strength of 1000 Guy Fieris.

Iowa State Falls to San Diego State, 10-1
WICHITA, Kan. – Iowa State opened up the Shocker Softball Classic with a 10-1 loss to San Diego State Friday at Wilkins Stadium. The loss dropped the Cyclones to 14-5 on the season while the Aztecs improved to 14-7 overall.
Story of the Game
Iowa State was able to get on the board first as the Cyclones got their first two on with Jorden Spendlove batting a single to right and Sara Rice reaching on an error at first base. Maddie Reese was able to advance Spendlove to third on a fielder's choice. Brittany Gomez put the Cyclones ahead 1-0 with a grounder to second base.
The lead was short lived though as San Diego State tied the game on a manufactured run with Leia Ruiz hitting a single, advancing to second on a wild pitch and stealing third base followed by scoring after an error by Rachel Hartman. The Cyclones were able to get two consecutive outs but SDSU was able to get two on as Sydnee Cable got hit by a pitch and Kayla Bufardeci walked. Hayley Miles cleared the bases with a 3-run homer to put the Aztecs ahead 4-1.
Up 6-1 headed to the bottom of the fifth, the Aztecs got a 2-RBI double from Dominique Dinner to move ahead 8-1. Two batters later, Patrice Jackson ended the game with a 2-run homer to give SDSU the final 10-1 margin.
On Deck
Iowa State has a doubleheader tomorrow. The Cyclones will start out with a game against North Dakota at 10:30 a.m. followed by a match-up versus Kansas City following that around 1 p.m.

Looking good but the mountains and labels are way too blurry.
This is a work in progress map for the Middle Kingdoms, called such because they sit perched between the two major Imperial powers of the day. It's lacking a legend at the moment and needs some refinements, but the details are pretty much finished. The cities and mountains are in the right places, and I don't believe any of my rivers will earn me more than a minor citation from the River Police. This map is part of a larger work in progress covering the whole continent, which my planned series of novels spans. This section is merely the setting for the first novel, which I have finally begun writing in earnest. Please give me your comments and critiques.
Credits here go to Quabbe for his mountain brushes, Gidde for the ink bleeding technique, and Harold's Fonts for the Dominican fonts I used for the labels. This map was made primarily in GIMP, with the labels made in Adobe Fireworks and copied over.
Looking good but the mountains and labels are way too blurry.
I like the landshape a lot. Almost Diamond-material But i have to agree with Max, the mountains are way too blurry. And a bit too big, imho (i don't know the scale of your map, but it looks like quite a big region).
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
I'm not quite sure if the mountains are too blurry, or the coastline/rivers are too blocky. But there is a distinct difference between these two features that contrast too much for me to really appreciate this nice map.
So I stroked my rivers and coasts again with a different brush (I love my Bamboo) to try to get them a little more in line with the mountains. I also messed around with the ink bleeding to get the look I liked but with a little more clarity. I'm still not completely satisfied with the rivers and may need to go back through them again, but I feel like the coasts are pretty good now. I also added a 10px kerning to the city labels to keep the letters from mashing together when I bled the ink. I think it's an improvement, but still some work to do. Any suggestions for solving the river problem are much appreciated
As for the scale, I feel like my mountains are appropriate in size. I'm not putting scale in this map because I simply don't prefer it aesthetically for a fantasy map, but my rough calculations have the land area of this map at slightly greater than the size of South Africa. So, it's not a particularly large area.
I really saw mointains blurry. they're better but still blurry a bit. Did you use them at higher or smaller size that the brushes are set?
Still blurry, i agree Max. I really hope you can fix that, because this map has great potential.
As to size - well, to each their own, i guess. Southafrica is more than 1000km east-west and as much north-south. I still think these mountains are out of proportion.
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
You guys were right. Somewhere along my process (I'm not sure where) my brushes went really blurry. I dropped the original on top of the map (pre-bleeding) and it was a massive difference. So, I guess I'm going to have to redo my mountains, but that's not really all that time consuming. Thanks for prompting me to look at that. And while I'm at it, I'll look into the mountain size as well. Maybe the Alps as a reference, as that's kind of the closest RW parallel. Are the labels better though?
Sorry to double post, but I think my biggest problem is fixed.
I finally think I fixed the blurriness of the mountains. I compared the map from the last post to the one from this post side-by-side and the difference is incredible. Might not be perfect yet, but it's massively improved.
It's better yea but it's still blurry :/ Shame because Quabes mountains are looking great and they don't deserve that blurryness :p

So there we go. We don't know if that is the best intensity or not to increase VO2max. Tons of research, but no clue.
But what about Running economy? Run fast and you get more economical? That's the magic zone to improve RE, right? Well, sorta. If you look at research, again depending on the group studied, running fast, at VO2max, and at LT have all improved economy in various studies. Wait, so has weight lifting, plyometrics, whole body vibration, altitude, training in the heat and on and on (Berg 2003,Foster 2007). Obviously some improve it more than others, but the point is that like with all the other parameters, there are numerous ways to improve them. It's not some magical zone that best targets it.
While you might say this was with untrained individuals so what's the point, I'd counter that with untrained individuals you'd expect almost anything to work! I mean you're going from nothing to something, so the fact that there's a huge variation is interesting.

I know there are better places to hunt deer than California, but there are those of us that live here and cannot afford an out of state hunt. Where do you live in California and what areas are you hunting?
I'm in Central California (Bakersfield) and hunt mainly in the Golden Trout Wilderness D8 area. I have taken some good California deer and hope this coming season I can add to my list.

The Undergraduate Teacher Education Partnership (UTEP) program is a unique opportunity for students who want to become licensed to teach in Illinois by completing their bachelor's degree from Greenville College in elementary education.
Students begin the process while working on their associate's degree and then continue by transferring to Greenville College. Greenville College brings the courses to local college and community college campuses. Greenville College faculty will then guide them through the steps to complete their coursework, required field experiences and student teaching.
Currently UTEP is offered at Kaskaskia College (Centralia, IL), Lewis and Clark Community College (Godfrey, IL), Lincoln Christian University (Lincoln, IL), and Southwestern Illinois College (Belleville, IL). In the future more sites may become available.
Elementary education typically takes two years including student teaching.
Classes in the UTEP program follow a hybrid format. Students meet every other week in a face-to-face classroom Monday through Thursday evenings. Throughout the semester students also have weekly online learning responsibilities.
The hybrid classroom format, also known as the flipped classroom design, allows hands-on learning to take place in the classroom. Students are able to participate in activities that require problem-solving and necessitates the most support from the instructor. Tasks that require less instructor support, like lectures, readings, and discussions are completed in an online environment to prepare students for the activities in face-to-face sessions.
Students can begin the program in either the fall semester or the spring semester. Classes do not begin over the summer.
An elementary education license allows you to teach grades Kindergarten through 9th grade. Most elementary education teachers won't find a middle school with 9th grade so typically the highest grade level taught is 8th grade.
There are upcoming changes to the elementary license expected to take effect in the next academic year that will change the license from a Kindergarten through 9th grade licensure to a 1st grade through 6th grade licensure.
Beginning in Fall 2014, the UTEP program will offer an optional special education endorsement that requires 3 additional classes students take during each of their semesters before student teaching.
Please call the Admissions Coordinator for Education Programs at 618-664-6757.

by Larry Copeland and Doyle Rice, USA TODAY
ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. - A winter tornado that pummeled this northwest Georgia community killed one person, flipped automobiles and destroyed entire buildings.
The storms were part of a huge, violent system that continued to rake the southern USA Wednesday as a ferocious cold front roars toward the Eastern Seaboard. A solid line of storms stretched all the way from Buffalo to New Orleans.
The storms that spawned the tornado moved across Georgia and metropolitan Atlanta, forcing authorities to briefly shut down Interstate 75 and to issue a ground stops at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Several school systems across the Atlanta metro area, including Floyd, Clayton and DeKalb Counties, canceled after-school activities as heavy rain pelted parts of the region.
About 8,500 customers were without electricity, according to Georgia Power. The hardest-hit area seemed to be this community about 40 miles north of Atlanta, where there were multiple injuries.
Storms have raced across the southern and central USA on Tuesday and Wednesday, blacking out power to thousands, downing trees and damaging homes.
During this outbreak, there have been more than 400 reports of severe weather, mainly high winds and large hail. There have been nine reports of tornadoes.
The rapidly changing conditions created a risk of tornadoes in the nation's Southeast through the day Wednesday. The Storm Prediction Center said the tornado threat was greatest in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
In Adairsville, downed and sagging power lines, homes with damaged roofs and uprooted or toppled trees are everywhere.
William Penn and his wife, Dianne, were huddled in the hallway near the front door of their house on Casey Street when the tornado hit. The storm ripped off most of the roof and blew out two windows.
"I was on the porch, and I told William it's about to hit," says Dianne Penn. "As soon as I said that, I saw the funnel and we got into the hall." The Penns say they don't usually see tornadoes this early in the year.
Another death was reported when a large tree blew down on a shed in Nashville, where a man was sheltering, police told Nashville broadcaster WTVF-TV. Authorities did not immediately release further details when contacted by the Associated Press.
In Arkansas, a person was reported injured by lightning during the storm's eastward trek. The storm marched just ahead of a cold front as the volatile system headed toward the Eastern Seaboard, dumping heavy rain in Kentucky and parts of Tennessee.
Thousands were reported without power in Tennessee, where tornado and flash flood warnings were issued for various counties and a tractor-trailer truck was blown on its side by high winds.
Entergy Arkansas reported at least 9,000 power outages in several communities around Arkansas at the height of the storm, including in and around Little Rock.
Authorities in Arkansas planned to check reports of possible twisters kicked up near a Little Rock suburb and in two locations in northwestern Arkansas. Power lines fell, trees were toppled, and some homes suffered damage to rooftops around the state.
The National Weather Service reported that suspected straight-line winds of up to 80 mph were reported in Arkansas late Tuesday night along with flooding in low-lying areas of Jonesboro in Arkansas' northeastern corner. Police in the Arkansas community of Monticello reported a person was injured by lightning late Tuesday, but the injury was not life-threatening.
The tornado death in Georgia ends the nation's longest break between tornado fatalities since detailed tornado records began being kept in 1950, according to the Storm Prediction Center and National Climatic Data Center. Before today, the last one was June 24, when a person was killed in a home in Highlands County, Fla. That was 220 days ago.
The last day with multiple fatalities was June 4, when three people were killed in a mobile home in Scott County, Mo.
While the South coped with severe weather, wintry weather slammed the northern Plains and upper Midwest, according to AccuWeather. Up to half a foot of snow could fall in portions of Iowa, Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Winter storm warnings were out across all of those states.
Lake-effect snow, heavy in some snowbelt areas, will persist Thursday and Friday in the Great Lakes, the Weather Channel predicted.
Bitterly cold air will roar into the northern Plains and Midwest. Low temperatures tonight will drop to 30 degrees below zero in portions of North Dakota, AccuWeather predicted. The high temperature Thursday in Minneapolis is forecast to be 1 degree.
The cold will move toward the East Coast on Thursday and Friday, though temperatures will not be nearly as cold as in the Midwest.
This week, a large swath of the Midwest and South bathed in unseasonably balmy temperatures that reached the high 70s in some areas.
The temperature in the central Missouri college town of Columbia reached 77 degrees on Monday, a record for January, and students exchanged their winter coats for shorts and flip-flops as freezing rain gave way to spring-like conditions. Foul weather made a quick return in a downpour that flooded some streets near the University of Missouri campus Tuesday.
Chicago residents also have been whiplashed by recent weather extremes. Workers who suffered through subzero temperatures and brutal wind chills a week ago strolled through downtown without coats Tuesday as temperatures soared into the mid-60s.
Carol Krueger, who lives in the Chicago suburb of North Hoffman Estates, noted that a few days ago, she was struggling to drive through blowing snow. All she needed Tuesday was a light jean jacket, although by Thursday, temperatures were likely to barely reach 20 degrees.
"It's bizarre, it's scary," Krueger said of the swiftly changing weather.

As some U.S. companies bring their manufacturing jobs back to American shores from overseas, they're finding it difficult to fill newly created positions as well as some that already were vacant. A recent report conducted by consultancy Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute argues the industry is missing a vital, untapped resource to fill empty jobs: women.
According to the survey which was released earlier this year, women are drastically underrepresented in the manufacturing industry workforce when compared to the general U.S. working population. While women make up nearly half of the American labor force, the group only accounts for 24.8 percent of the manufacturing industry's workforce.
There are two issues that may explain the lack of women workers in American manufacturing jobs, says the report.
First, the industry is stigmatized as a boys' club. Fifty-one percent of survey respondents believe the main driver of women's underrepresentation in manufacturing is the perception of it as a male-favored culture. Andy Preissner, SPHR at Appleton, Wisconsin-based A to Z Machine Co., says that a career in the manufacturing industry is stereotyped as traditionally for men and agrees that the categorization may have discouraged women from pursuing one, especially at the production level.
"I've been at A to Z for about three years now, and since I've been here, only one woman has applied for a skilled production job," Preissner says.
The other problem leading to the shortage of women workers is education and skills requirements demanded by the manufacturing industry of the 21st century. Such jobs are still thought of as hard, dirty and even dangerous manual labor positions by the American public when in reality most manufacturing jobs are just the opposite. With companies such as A to Z Machine, computers play an integral role in the production level of manufacturing industry today, and many employees need math and science skills to perform their jobs. Yet many applicants do not have the proper skills.
President Barack Obama touched on this subject in his 2013 State of the Union address. "These initiatives in manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and housing will help entrepreneurs and small business owners expand and create new jobs. But none of it will matter unless we also equip our citizens with the skills and training to fill those jobs," the president said.
Allison Grealis, director of the executive networking group Women in Manufacturing and director of member services for the Precision Metalforming Association, agrees with the president's view on education's importance to the American economy, especially when it comes to education for girls in STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Grealis says manufacturers would benefit the earlier girls are exposed to STEM subjects.
"It starts in the elementary schools. We need to get women attracted early and so they can say, 'Wow, I can be just as talented in these areas that were typically male areas of expertise,'" she said.
Even if the manufacturing industry becomes more attractive to women and girls are introduced to STEM subjects at an early age, it could be years before the impact of women in the workforce is felt. In the meantime, manufacturers face the pressing issue of recruitment shortages. According to a survey Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute conducted in 2011, 600,000 manufacturing jobs went unfilled.
"I recently saw that there were 200 to 300 open positions in my area alone," said Preissner, whose company launched an apprenticeship program in late 2010 to remedy their recruitment shortages. Preissner believes the biggest obstacle for the manufacturing industry is the American public's perception of it. "Parents just don't want their kids to go in manufacturing. They always want their kids to do better than them, and they don't think manufacturing will allow them to do that," he said.
Grealis, however, believes education could offer a solution to the issue of public perception. She agrees that exposing elementary school children to STEM subjects would have a positive effect on the general perception of the manufacturing industry.
"I think that needs to be an equal focus of a national initiative to draw greater attention for the need to get more people, both men and women, in STEM careers. It's hugely important."

sphinx SXW ? over atlas or cgem
Posted 01 November 2012 - 05:35 PM
But i noticed the vixen sphinx swx is $1899 i thought it was more. Vixen's site claims 35 pound capacity and the mount is very very light 15 pounds. Also starbook looks interesting.
I want a new mount for astrophotography only, i will pretty much never just being looking through it. I will be using a St80 with an SSAG, an orion ed80 with a canon T3. Side by side adm saddles. And i may plan on getting a 6" or 8" astro tech RC.
setup speed and fast polar alignment are a priority for me. Due to light pollution i'm limited to 5-6 min exposures with a LP filter and 3 without.

Not to mention the Sphinxes also have declination guiding issues.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:12 AM
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:46 AM
you will need the NexSXW board upgrade. otherwise you will get random declination jumps that will ruin your day.
Posted 03 November 2012 - 11:51 AM
The weight capacity of the SXW is about 15 lbs. for imaging. You may be able to eke out another 3 or 4 lbs. if you are lucky.
This mount broke my heart. There is so much going for it; 1) Probably the best polar scope on the market, 2) Fit and finish is excellent, 3) the StarBook interface is a good concept, 4) the tripod is super light but really rock solid, 5) the whole rig is lightweight, 6) the StarBook has an ethernet connection for scope control/router connection, 7) excellent adjustment for guiding sensitivity and backlash compensation.
Here's where Vixen dropped the ball; 1) The StarBook has a limited ability to display much detail, 2) and has a limited database of star catalogues, 3) the software insists on introducing random declination movements at least every couple of minutes, 4) parts must arrive by slow boat from Japan, 5) the StarBook does not have enough adjustment in screen brightness (you will blind those around you) so you must use extra screen filters, 6) guide scopes must make electronic connection to the StarBook not the mount chassis, 7) the mount doesn't like very cold temps (stalls, StarBook screen problems, etc.
Buy the Atlas and you will be happy until you can afford a higher tier mount (Losmandy, AstroPhysics, etc.).
Posted 03 November 2012 - 02:06 PM
I have a Sphinx SXW, and love it! However, it's strictly being used for visual, so the Starbook is more than adequate. I can also control it using Cartes De Ciel with an ASCOM driver. This seems to work really, really well, though i have not yet used it in the field! However, testing it in the house shows that the scope will go to whatever compass points the software sends it, as well as seeming to go to whatever ALT value the software tells it to go.

probably not visible through an eyepiece but more than enough to thoroughly ruin your day when imaging.

Posted 04 November 2012 - 10:34 AM
I still use the Sphinx for outreach and star parties because it is a fun visual mount and it is light weight. My computer can synch with it via a router wirelessly with SkySafari and it is a blast to use with my six inch f/6 newtonian. But for AP it is an exercise in frustration. At some point I will buy the NexSX electronics board for it just to make it a viable, portable AP mount. This would be a great set up for a small widefield refractor or six inch RC, and I could get it into the trunk of the Miata!
To all those who want to purchase the StarBook equipped mounts for AP - You have been warned! I second Rod's advice about going the Atlas route for under $1500.
Here is a pic of the pretty Sphinx. It is the siren song that I fell for when I was looking for my first AP mount. One day this will have a Celestron controller, but it will not be used for any AP until then.

Posted 05 November 2012 - 07:41 AM
funny thing is i know someone with an SXP (starbook ten) and he thinks the declination jumps are still there!
That is really sad.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 11:51 AM
I believe the Starbook 10 uses newly written software, especially as they're now using stepper motors in the SXP/AXD mounts instead of servo motors, as in the older SXW/SXD mounts. That being the case, the DEC jumps being caused by the old software shouldn't exist in the new... but then again, I could be mistaken.

What is patent PP7197P? Hint: you eat it.
(Page 2 of 3)
I mean, aren't apples simply beautiful? Gorgeous works of nature's art, they range from gloriously red to envy-green. My personal favorites are Macoun and Honeycrisp. McIntosh are good if you're in a slightly tart mood, and Rome and Cortlands head my list for baking. The main event in crisps, cakes, pancakes, cobblers and stove-top compotes, apples are the crowning glory of muffins and cupcakes and cookies. We associate apples with holidays, the Jewish New Year (apples and honey) and Halloween. If you have young teeth, think jelly apple.
The rock star of apples this season, and for some seasons past, is the Honeycrisp. This apple was derived in 1960 at the University of Minnesota's breeding program. The patent, US PP7197P, was filed in 1988. Recently, the Honeycrisp has dominated the market, peeling away from its competitors. Distinguished by its crisp, juicy texture, mild aroma and cream-colored flesh, the Honeycrisp is supremely delicious, way more enjoyable than Macintosh, Gala, Red Delicious, Granny Smith or Pink Lady.
People raise holy hell about the exorbitant price of the Honeycrisp. A recent piece in Esquire quoted $4.50 a pound in New York, referring to the fruit as a "designer brand." David Bedford, the man who created the Honeycrisp years ago, is quoted as saying that the apple's price is an old-fashioned story of supply and demand. He says its explosive crunchiness creates devotees who are obsessed with the fruit.
Some years ago, a scandal rocked the horticulture world. When the succulent Honeycrisp made its debut, following a romantic propagation at the University of Minnesota, it was said to be a blend of the Macoun and the Honeygold. But someone, who apparently had way too much time on his hands, actually questioned the new apple's paternity, conducted genetic fingerprinting and declared that the Keepsake, not the Honeygold, was the father. Great embarrassment ensued in the world of apple cross-cultivation. I don't know if anyone ever conclusively proved who grafted to whom and how.
This fruit has been around. Do we care who its daddy is?

Relative newbie here. I've been experimenting with users who also use Blackberry devices, with the idea that an Auto BCC from the BIS email server should get routed into the Sent items folder. I filter based on the following:
Header named: Received Contains: bis.na.blackberry.com
From: Contains: user
It works perfectly to this point. Now what I need to do is change the recipient. When you select the email, the top of the preview pane shows the correct recipient, and the correct sender, but the email list has them reversed. Is there any way to have the filter or a secondary process that is triggered by the filter modify the email so it displays correctly in the list?

I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this but I'm not sure where else to go.
Whenever I go to my address book the desktop loses all page details. The only thing left are the tabs at the top of the page, their icons, and folder icons. The email preview page will show the email but the email "subject" areas on the left pane have no words. The calendar shows highlighted events but the event descriptions are gone. The address book has icons on the left but nothing else. The contacts in the address book are shown on the right side of the screen but there is no information, just a name at the top. This started happening after I set desktop to sync with gmail for contacts. It did happen once or twice prior to this but not consistently. Once this problem occurs the only way to reset the desktop is to completely close the program (ver 7.1.2 build 10978) and restart it.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Nina Tandon:
Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?
Each of our bodies is utterly unique, which is a lovely thought until it comes to treating an illness — when every body reacts differently, often unpredictably, to standard treatment. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon talks about a possible solution: Using pluripotent stem cells to make personalized models of organs on which to test new drugs and treatments, and storing them on computer chips. (Call it extremely personalized medicine.)

It's Giordana's top-of-the-line fabric that is light, soft against your skin, and wicks sweat like crazy to keep you dry and comfortable. Its omni-directional stretch allows the FormaRed Carbon Jersey to move with your body, but never gets over-stretched, even after long-term wear.
Carbon threads have also been woven into the fabric in the two rear side panels where it limits the vertical stretch and stabilizes the pockets to prevent sag when they're loaded. The carbon is naturally antibacterial ...Giordana's finest women's jersey and cut to fit like a second skin... and inhibits the development of odor causing bacteria, which is a great thing. The carbon fibers also accelerate the evaporation of moisture, thereby keeping the skin dry and cool, and micro-mesh inserts underneath the arms help to give you maximum breathability.
At the cuffs, the Ametista fabric is backed with Antigua material to hold the jersey in place. The front has a full CamLock zipper, and it has a garage at the very top to safeguard your neck from irritation. A CamLock zippered fourth back pocket gives you a safe place to store your keys or credit cards. Finally, here is a woman's-specific jersey that recognizes you can't bring your purse on a three hour ride. Tastefully branded silicone grippers at the back of the jersey hold it all in place so that there is no slippage of the jersey. Reflective elements have also been added at the front and back of the jersey to keep you visible when your ride on low light conditions.
In support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Giordana offers this jersey in a color option with pink accents. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to help the fight against cancer. The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women's Short Sleeve Jersey is available in X-Small through X-Large and it comes in Black/white/pink and White/black/red.
- Shaped panels eliminate bunching by ergonomically following the body's contours
- Ultralight, moisture-wicking, and super-soft Asteria fabric allows omnidirectional stretch for optimal fit
- Host Carbon fabric, used in the large front and rear panels, limits sagging when the pocket loaded
- Host Carbon fabric also help slow the onset of muscle fatigue as well as repel electronic interference from power lines and cell phone towers that can hinder your bike's performance
- Aerofix Gripper System (Ametista fabric backed with Antigua) holds the jersey in place with a seamless feel
- Underarm micro-mesh insert, perforated Aerostat fabric, and CamLock full-zip allow maximum breathability
- Back logo branded elastic with silicone gripper beads prevents the jersey from riding-up
- Reflective front and back elements add visibility
- Zippered back pockets and multiple rear pockets provide plenty of room for you to stash your energy bars or goo

Reviews & Community
Puckered zipper - likely due to piping
This appears to have piping the other jerseys don't have and that is probably why people say it puckers. I get the aesthetic appeal of the piping, but if it don't work, it don't work. Also, Giordana, you should be coming up with more innovative designs by now, more exciting kits. Some pink on the sleeves and pink down the zipper is still quite a snooze. I want a kit that says I like speed and is exciting and visually interesting. Not just a lot of plain white and plain black, which is mostly what I've been seeing. 2014 Trade FRC appears to be somewhat of an improvement so I'm looking forward to that now that I scoured the internet to find my size in it. Hire some graphic artists, please!
Right on point! So tired of plain kits for women! I want, I NEED some color in my kits! pink is the new black! Get on board already!
Ladies: want excellent quality AND some exciting color? Check out Assos' *SS Lady Ellisse jerseys...they come in 5 different color versions, most bright colors with a unusual pattern. Assos' also offers great shorts in an assortment of colors that you can co-ordinate...or just plain old fashioned black. So...there are options....elsewhere...
Not So Great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I, too, have this jersey and experienced the same weird pucker at the zipper.
Where the zipper meets the neckline the collar sags instead of
keeping a nice clean line. It is a good material, and wicks well, but it
just doesn't look as snappy as it should. For the price, this jersey should fit
much better than it does.
Curious...what color selection did you get?
And, you're right about that collar, forgot to mention it.
So sad...hope this is just a 'fluke', and not a trend!
Another lady made the same comment about a Giordana Fusion jersey she got recently...and also sent back! Wonder how many others' jerseys have the same defect and just haven't reported it!
At Long Last...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I've been waiting on this jersey & the matching shorts for some time now. Particularly the blk/pink 'breast cancer awareness' version, as I have lost both Grandmothers to it, my mother to pancreatic cancer, one aunt to ovarian cancer, another to breast cancer, a cousin to leukemia, and sadly other distant relatives (and all live in various parts of the country). Lost a lady friend to cancer, and she had previously lost her 3 year old son to leukemia! Even one of my team members at work has ovarian cancer, and of all things, her cat! In fact, you hear of more & more animals being diagnosed with cancer (and they don't smoke)! You get the picture. A horrible disease that desperately needs a cure.
So, back to the jersey:
I so want to love it, but:
The front zipper has a peculiar puckering, in/out/in and so on all the way down the front. I tried pulling it taunt, and in the 'riding' position, but no change. Just puckering all the way down the zipper, very pronounced & obvious. Got this in my reg. Giordana size, couldn't fit in a smaller size, unfortunately.
Right now, I'm looking at 4 of my favorite jerseys (after I put them on to compare, again), hanging side x side...and you can definitely see the puckering of the new one, exaggerated because of the pink line against a black background.
It seems made very well, and I don't see any other flaws. Very sharp-looking, aside from this flaw. My Assos Ellisse (in Adua) is perfect; the older FR-C jersey (the purple/white sagg.) is also perfect. Even my Gore is straight as an arrow (the zipper line, that is).
Disappointed. Would order another. Might be just this particular jersey; or something to do with the pink/black style only. I'll probably give it another try, depending on if any other ladies have any issues with this particular version of this jersey, or not...
Still love Giordana!

With the San Francisco Giants so generously granting me press access to any regular season game I could cover last season, I ended up only attending two games as a fan. The first was with my buddy a couple weeks before his first kid was due (sort of a "Jon Goodbye Tour" of sorts). The best part of that game, a 6-4 loss to the Brewers on a Friday night in May, was the beer we drank beforehand.
The second happened to be the most memorable game at AT&T Park all season.
One could make an argument for the NL West clinching game. But that was more about the postgame celebration than the game itself, which occurred with plenty of season remaining and wasn't all that close (an 8-4 win over San Diego).
Matt Cain's perfect game was an even bigger blowout over an even worse team during the middle of the season, but that didn't do anything to remove the heart pounding, anticipatory cheering or wild celebration afterward.
And I was there, in a lower box seat down the right field line instead of the press box. Why? We owed two friends of ours who live in Portland a Giants game (I don't even remember why at this point, and it doesn't matter). After our original plans to attend the game against the Astros the night before fell through because my wife had a work thing come up, we ended up seeing Cain vs. J.A. Happ. Talk about dumb luck.
And to think, I complained about having to resell the previous game's tickets at a net loss and buy four more seats … sometimes I should think before I whine. I'm sure I'll learn that lesson one of these years.
Giveaway time: Perfect Gift
I have another 8-disc San Francisco Giants Collector's Edition Box Set to give to a lucky reader. Since whenever I ask you to detail your own experiences watching sports you always come through with fantastic stories in the comments, I'm going to go to that well again.
For a chance to win a Box Set that includes Cain's perfect game along with all four World Series games, Game 5 of the NLDS (the most heart attack-inducing game in recent memory), Game 5 of the NLCS (#RallyZito) and a bonus highlight disc, answer this:
Where were you when Cain retired 27 straight Houston Astros?
I'll choose someone at random tomorrow to win the 8-disc Box Set, either Blu-ray or DVD (winner's choice). Remember to submit a real email address, otherwise I'll choose a different winner and you'll miss out on a prize that's valued around $90 for the Blu-ray version.

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Design Concept Shaker HoodWritten by on May 27, 2010 Installing A Classic Design Concepts Shaker Hood System On Our '09 Challenger
The secret of making more power through cold air, or forced air induction has been out for a long time, but the ways to duct cold air to the engine, and the hoodscoops used for that function, are of numerous and varied design. Chrysler began adding hoodscoops to their high-performance passenger cars during the early '60s, and back then the scoops were mainly designed for function rather than aesthetics. During the muscle car years, however, all of the manufacturers got into the scoop craze, though arguably Dodge and Plymouth made the most functional and often the most ostentatious scoops of the period.
One of our favorite hoodscoops from the muscle car era wasn't really a hoodscoop at all, as it was attached to the engine and poked through a hole in the hood. Called the "Shaker," this scoop was an available option on Dodge and Plymouth E-Bodies only, and combined the functionality of forced air induction with tough, appealing lines. As if adding both performance and enhanced curb appeal weren't enough, Chrysler further marketed their hoodscoop system with a cool "Shaker" decal under the hood, with blurred letters to actually simulate shaking.
Though the Shaker hood isn't an available factory option on Mopar's latest rendering of the Challenger, there's no doubt that Chrysler nailed the look of the new Dodge two-door, blending the best of modern technology with a powerful Hemi engine and a classic appearance. Fortunately, Classic Design Concepts (CDC) is already offering a Shaker system for the new Challenger, along with a fiberglass "Heritage" hood, that comes in a complete kit with everything necessary to give your new Challenger the looks and performance of a Shaker scoop.
Since great looks and better performance are two things we really like here at Mopar Muscle magazine, we decided to install one of CDC's hoods on our '09 Challenger R/T. Although the Heritage hood is available sans Shaker, we opted for the Shaker scoop kit, which is designed to duct cool outside air to the new Challenger's factory airbox. The only problem we saw was that our factory airbox had been replaced by a ProCharger supercharger and associated ducting, so we ordered our kit knowing that we'd likely have to perform some modifications to make the system work.
Once our CDC packages arrived, we were initially impressed with the quality of the fiberglass Heritage hood, as well as the Shaker scoop and associated hardware in the kit. Since the hood comes in primer, it needed to be matched to the silver of the rest of the car, so we took our parts and car to JD's Paint and Body Shop in nearby Mulberry, Florida, to fit the hood and have it painted.
After unbolting the original hood, the crew at JD's quickly bolted the new hood in place, and adjusted it for proper fitment. The CDC piece was nicely finished and fit exactly like the factory hood, with no real modifications required. Since the hood fit properly, we removed it so it could be block-sanded and painted to match the car, and installed the factory hood so we could keep driving in the meantime. Once the paintwork was accomplished, we took the car back to JD's Paint and Body to install the Shaker system along with our freshly painted hood.
Looking at the design of the Shaker scoop system, there's no doubt it would literally bolt right into place, ducting cool air to the car's factory airbox. In our application, however, we had to cut away a portion of the base in order to clear our aftermarket supercharger, ductwork, and air filter, but we still had no problem installing the system in just a few hours. The CDC kit is complete, including all the necessary hardware and clear instructions, and we were overall happy with the way the parts bolted in place.
With the installation complete, we think you'll agree that the Shaker scoop only makes the new Challenger look better, adding to the retro appearance of the car. Additionally, by modifying our kit to duct cool air directly to the supercharger's inlet air filter, we definitely hear a louder induction roar, indicating the Hemi engine is enjoying its breath of fresh air. Moreover, our car now has a distinct look, separating it from the other Challengers we're starting to see on the road. Follow along and we'll show you how easy it was to install the Classic Design Concepts Heritage hood and Shaker scoop.

After bolting the new fiberglass Heritage hood to the factory hinges, it can be lowered slowly to check for proper alignment..........This is definitely a two- or three-person job, and extra care should be taken not to nick the paint on the fenders or front fascia.Dimensionally, the CDC hood is an exact replica of the factory hood, and with a little adjustment, hood alignment was nearly perfect, and better than the hood we took off.Once the hood was fitted to the car, the crew at JD's Paint and Body got busy prepping it for paint. Since the hood comes in a sealing primer from CDC,........the top of the hood just needed to be block-sanded for straightness, and the bottom was scuffed so the new paint will adhere to the hood.After the prep work was completed, JD shot the new hood in the appropriate silver metallic color, using BASF Diamont basecoat. The hood was then sealed with several layers of Diamont clear coat.The CDC Shaker kit comes with all the items necessary to complete the installation. The scoop itself is made of metal and comes already finished in matte black.The Shaker hood system installs onto the engine, so the factory engine cover is removed and this bracket is put in its place using the provided hardware and spacers. This bracket is fastened in place using the provisions to hold the fuel rails down, so care must be taken to properly retighten the fasteners.
The Shaker base would normally just drop right into place, but we had to trim ours to fit around the supercharger........Using tape to mark the areas needing to be cut, a cutoff wheel can be used to trim the plastic base.With the trimming complete, we also modified the ductwork we removed earlier to route air to our air filter, then rebonded the duct to the Shaker base.Once the pieces are fitted (not required if your car is stock) the drain tubes are added to the base and the assembly can then be installed on the engine. The scoop is held in place by dzus style fasteners provided with the kit.The Heritage hood can now be bolted in place and lined up with the rest of the body. The Shaker scoop has adjustments so that it can be centered in the hood opening.The final steps are marking and drilling the holes for the windshield washer squirters, then applying the double-sided tape and installing the trim ring on the hood..........Aside from having the hood painted, it took us about three hours to complete this installation, even having to modify the kit for our supercharged car.We think the CDC Shaker system adds significantly to the look of our '09 Challenger, reminding us of an era when cars were meant to perform, not simply get you from point A to point B. In addition to the pleasing aesthetics, the scoop also ducts cool outside air to our car's air.....

Users commonly get no feedback on their answers, especially when answering questions by low rep users. I.e. no accepts, upvotes, downvotes or comments. If the question has enough views, other users will upvote your answer, but commonly these questions only have a handful of views.
I find this to be really discouraging. So I was wondering if we could do something about that, such as not allowing a user to post a new question until he's given feedback to all the answers of his previous question.
In addition to this, it would be nice if it were easier to follow up on your old answers, e.g. by providing a visual indication in the list of answers that the OP has given feedback on the answer.
