There is the telescope "perfect" for the Moon?
Posted 07 April 2013 - 03:55 PM
It is often said that to observe the moon, almost any telescope goes well.
But, in his opinion there is some model above the rest to be a little better for lunar observation?
From what aperture lunar observation becomes interesting, detailed and serious observation?

From what aperture lunar observation becomes interesting, detailed and serious observation?
That is mostly dependent on the observer's skill and enthusiasm. For me, a 60mm of high quality does the job. I know I've seen many things with my 63mm Zeiss that other people have missed, but that is also because I've been studying the Moon for more than twenty years and know what to look for, when to look for it and how to look for it. And many of those details weren't easy to see, but that made it all so more rewarding to finally see them.
My 85mm apochromat is a very clear step up from the 60mm, but a 100mm is a bigger step, but doesn't feel much bigger than the 85mm, oddly enough. It's as if the 85mm is much more than halfway to the 100mm from the 60mm. But a 125mm is a huge leap up from a 100mm and leave the 85mm in the dust.
Today I often use a 150mm f/8 achromat, stopped down to 125mm f/9.6, equipped with a Baader Maxbright binoviewer and 25mm Zeiss eyepieces. Lunar views are extremely good, with very short cooldown time, so that I can be observing quickly. There is a ton of things to see with a 125mm, enough for a lifetime.
But if I didn't have any of the bigger scopes, I would still be observing the Moon with my 60mm scope and enjoy it.

Thomas what about the C8 and 12" reflector.
I've sold the C8 back to its original owner, as I didn't use it. The 12" reflector does give fantastic images at up to 160x, but then its astigmatism and spherical aberration starts to get really noticeable. It should be a formidable lunar telescope if it wasn't for the astigmatism and overcorrection. Heck, it still outperforms the 5" refractor, but not as much as doubling the aperture would suggest. Thermal issues are less than in the C8, so the potential to outperform the C8, if not for the optical issues, are certainly there. The C8 was only marginally better than the refractor on most nights and was hysterically sensitive to collimation and focusing, far more so than the newtonian. The newtonian is the easiest scope to collimate I've ever owned, now that I have a laser.

I have had jaw-dropping views of the moon during great seeing at high magnifications (600X's and up) in my 18" Starmaster, on the Jovian moons Ihave had fleeting glimpses of detail!
I would get one of these if I had the money:
Posted 08 April 2013 - 05:58 PM
When I read a review of competing telescope mirrors in the 10" size in Sky and Tel and PARKS walked off with the prize, it was my intention at that point to get a mirror quoted as having "essentially perfect star images". What made it so painful was some folks saying a special night was needed to see diffraction patterns and it wasn't as readily coming as one might expect. I was naive about diffraction so I tried but I knew all along great seeing wouldn't unsquish an astigmatic star image.
Oh the crime that followed - so I finally get the 10" PARKS just a month or so after Mount Pinatubo killed deepsky transparency!!!!! I couldn't see M51s arms, rifts in M31 not M33s arms.
I was losing even when I was winning. Lol it was a frustrating time.
Are you going to have it re figured? Might be better to get a new GSO mirror?
Posted 09 April 2013 - 01:53 AM
I was actually thinking about letting Carl Zambuto work his magic on the 12" mirror, but he has stopped refiguring of cheap mirrors and I couldn't afford it anyway. Replacing the mirror with another GSO one seems to be the way to go. Teleskop Service in Germany sells certified mirrors with the same focal length and diameter as the one in this scope, but they are a little pricey. I'll need to save up for one, as I can't afford one right now.
And then I find myself still dreaming about a large refractor... A 7" - 8" f/12 would be soooo nice! I am very tempted to get an ISTAR lens and build a large Richard Berry mount for it, now that I have experience with dobsonians and has seen how smooth and stable they can be. There is no question that a refractor would be far superior, aperture for aperture, in my climate.

Sorry to hear about your lousy C8. Mine had fantastic optics, but that was moot, as the tube currents never settled in the carbon fiber tube (carbon fiber has TERRIBLE thermal properties for closed tube telescopes).

Anyway you could be convinced to take that mirror and polish it towards perfection? I realize it's a bit large for a first project, but with all the help available on the web, plus maybe a bit of hands on help to grasp the Foucault test....
Posted 18 April 2013 - 03:57 PM
I suppose I could ask some of the Danish mirror makers if they want to have a go at it and earn a little money. I know at least one of them is very good and is currently making a 10" or 12" f/4 (or was it f/3?) astrograph.
It is a shame indeed that the mirror is so bad, as the dob structure itself is pretty nice and performs OK and it is easy to track at 250x - 300x, so a better mirror would instantly transform the scope into an awesome observing machine.

Posted 19 April 2013 - 02:20 PM
Well, I believe this is the best current scope for the moon:
Wrong! At least in my opinion.
First, it has no aluminum coatings on the primary. That means it has the light grasp of a 6.2" newtonian...
Second, they tout the lack of coatings as an advantage, since it means less scattered light, but hey, isn't the secondary coated? If not, the light grasp is down to that of a 1.4" scope... And if the secondary is coated, the scope has the scatter issue anyway!
Even with my 5" refractor, I run out of light somewhere below 200x, when I want to study the Mare areas and especially the rille regions. Here I often need to keep the exit pupil just under 1mm or preferably larger. My 12" is wonderful for these areas, since it has a luxurious 2mm exit pupil and plenty of light at 150x.
To build a hyper-expensive 28" that is limited to magnifications no higher than those used on a 6", because it has images just as dim, and thus unable to use all the resolution of the large mirror anyway, since most of the details it is capable of resolving can't be magnified enough to be visible, is simply nuts in my opinion. A huge waste of money.
The biggest cause of scattered light in a reflector is not from the aluminum coatings, but from optics with rough or dirty surfaces. I've seen a couple of reflectors with really contrasty, refractor-like images, so I can't believe the coatings are to blame, at least not always. Of course some coatings can be better or worse than others. With freshly cleaned optics, my own 12" newtonian, even with its mediocre optics, produce extremely contrasty views that show myriad subtle contrast features in the lunar Mare. The edge of the Moon snaps from a super bright gray-white to jet black with nothing in between. The crater shadows are ultra black and the bright lunar mountains, even well away from the terminator, show subtle details on their bright peaks. The images look like in my 85mm Zeiss apochromat, just a lot brighter and with much more resolution. Scatter? Not a problem in this scope - when it is clean. If it is not clean, it has plenty of scatter and it doesn't take a lot of dust (or dew!) to scatter a lot of light when observing the Moon.
BTW, I've tested a 6" newtonian with uncoated primary and the image was extremely unimpressive for a 6". It was as dim as that of a 40mm refractor (but extremely sharp at the magnifications typically of a 40mm scope, of course), but it was utterly impossible to use all the resolution of the full aperture, as you ran out of light long before you ran out of resolution.
They mention a $40,000 refractor in the ad. For that amount of money, you could get at least a 12" f/15 D&G, if not a 15" f/15, including a huge mount, which would show far more lunar detail than the unaluminized 28" ever can, because of the much brighter images.
And the refractor would of course outperform it even further on targets where light grasp is even more important, such as deep-sky objects.
Clear skies!
Thomas, Denmark
Posted 19 April 2013 - 04:13 PM
I guess if some one ever tries one they could enlighten us. They do offer a full coated version even an enhanced coating if you want.
Posted 19 April 2013 - 05:30 PM
Of course it does work at 200x - 300x (which maximum is what the seeing will support at most places anyway) but at higher powers it will run out of light, especially in the Mare regions. Just like any other 6" scope...
A lot of observers completely fail to understand that the bright images of the Moon in their scopes is a blessing, not a curse, as it allows their eyes to work at maximum speed and catch details between the seeing ripples. The remedy to avoid eye fatigue and making the brain confused from seeing one very bright image and one dark one, is to use a binoviewer. And turn on the outdoor lights, it also helps tremendously, by hindering your eyes from dark adapting. It is better than any filter.
Even at 150x, I strongly prefer my unfiltered 12" over my 5" refractor, since the very bright images allow me to catch subtle details in the Mare and rilles, by maximizing contrast and minimizing floaters.
Clear skies!

For a quick, light grab and go for the Moon, I totally agree.
Posted 20 April 2013 - 02:59 AM
I saw your post and would like to say that 8 years ago I took the plunge and bought an Orion Optics(UK) OMC200,- orion optics makssutov 8 inch F20 scope. I wanted a telescope that was more suited to lunar observing and planetary observing. I have never regretted that decision. When the seeing is good the detail and contrast is superb. I allso use this scope for imaging and it has a good image scale at the prime focus without the need for barlows. Strangely enough, it gives pleasing views of globulars and small planetaries as well. Anyway, I just thought I would let you people know my thloughts on my telescope. Keep well. Larry
Posted 20 April 2013 - 12:38 PM
And that is gives pleasing views of planetaries and globulars is no surprise to me. It should also be killer on small galaxies. I would not hesitate to hunt small galaxies with it.

I have seen your images of the moon with the 180 Mak and I am truly blown away. To me, the Mak was designed for the moon . Eventually I see myself upgrading to a larger Mak, but first I was to see how much the seeing here will let me upgrade
Posted 23 April 2013 - 08:16 PM
Almost any scope will show satisfying views of the moon, IMO.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jurgen Klinsmann has agreed to a four-year
contract extension as head coach of the United States men's national team, it
was announced Thursday.
The new deal will take Klinsmann through 2018 with the former World Cup
champion also becoming the Technical Director for U.S. Soccer. Further terms
of the deal were not disclosed.
"One of the reasons we hired Jurgen as our head coach was to advance the
program forward and we've seen the initial stages of that happening on the
field and also off the field in various areas," said U.S. Soccer President
Sunil Gulati. "In the past two years he has built a strong foundation from the
senior team down to the youth teams and we want to continue to build upon that
Klinsmann has been at the helm for more than two years, compiling an overall
record of 27-10-7. The 2013 campaign for the United States has been
highlighted by a first place finish in CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014 World
Cup, a fifth Gold Cup title, a defeat of No. 2-ranked Germany and single-year
records for wins (16), winning percentage (.761), and consecutive wins (12).
"I am very fortunate to continue the work we started more than two and half
years ago," said Klinsmann. "It's exciting to see the progress we have made,
and we continue to make improvements on all fronts. The role of Technical
Director is a huge challenge and also a huge opportunity as we look to keep
connecting the dots to the Youth National Teams, Coaching Education, the
Development Academy and the grassroots efforts in this country. These are
fascinating topics and I am excited work with so many talented people and hear
fresh ideas. For sure it means more work, but also many more fulfilling
The United States has been drawn into Group G of the 2014 World Cup along with
Ghana, Portugal and Germany. The U.S. opens its tournament on June 16 against
Ghana at Estadio Das Dunas in Natal, Brazil.

Trauma Response Institute
Trauma education within a CACREP-accredited counseling program
George Fox University's Trauma Response Institute (TRI) sponsors training, research and service activities in the support of the resiliency of individuals and communities facing traumatic events. The institute is a distinct program within the university's Graduate School of Counseling.
Three guiding principles of the Trauma Response Institute are its collaborative, ecosystemic and resiliency foci.
In all its activities, the institute seeks to collaborate with service organizations, government agencies, schools, faith communities and traumatology experts from a variety of professions committed to disaster response.
The ecosystemic orientation of the Institute embraces a holistic approach to understanding human experience and functioning. Educational programs focusing on a biological, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual inquiry into the impact of traumatic events set the stage for the application of a context-sensitive multi-modal response based on the needs identified by the affected community.
The guiding feature of the Institute is its embrace of resiliency of individuals and communities to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. All activities of the Trauma Response Institute are grounded in the belief that each community impacted by a traumatic event has the capacity to find hope, purpose, and meaning as it rebuilds itself, with our services intending to facilitate this process of recovery.
Trauma Response Institute Activities
Providing education and training opportunities is central to the work of the Trauma Response Institute. In response to the growing need for responsible and informed trauma response providers, the TRI offers:
- A post-graduate certificate in trauma response services, a 12-unit graduate course curriculum available to mental health, school, medical and ministerial graduate students and post-graduate professionals. The curriculum complies with the didactic requirements of major traumatology certifying organizations and includes a nine-month to one-year collaborative field experience in which the professionals engage in a research or program development project of one's choosing.
- Continuing Education (CE) events (not applicable to post-graduate certificate yet compliant with professional continuing education requirements), with many of the trauma response services specialty courses offered concurrently as CE events. Course schedules (including CE co-occurring opportunities) and registration details are available online.
- A Trauma Response Team that serves as a service arm of the TRI, restoring the community either directly or by assisting disaster aid organizations in recruiting qualified trauma responders. All team members are graduate-level trained and credentialed mental health, education, medical, or ministerial professionals with demonstrated graduate-course level training in traumatology.
Additional Information
For more information about TRI educational programs read through our web pages or contact our admissions counselor, Joel Moore, at firstname.lastname@example.com. To talk further about the Trauma Response Institute, call or email the TRI, and either Administrative Assistant, Justin McCoy, or TRI Director, Anna Berardi, will return your request.

2008 Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by on May 1, 2008 Contributors: Dakota Wentza Oakland Forever, Forever Oakland
As a rule, when it comes to writing a magazine article, it's always considered a good practice to write it in second person rather than an "i did this, and I did that" story in first person. That said, I'm writing this story in first person because I believe there must be a least a million people out there who will identify directly with my experience as a lifelong fan of the Grand national roadster Show and with all the nostalgic elements associated with it.
When I was a kid we just simply called it "Oakland." Anyone who was cool knew exactly what you were talking about. One of the coolest full-custom trucks ever built debuted in 1958 in Oakland, California: George Barris' "ala kart." The pretty little Pearl White, hemi-powered roadster pickup reappeared in '59 to take home the monstrous ambr (america's Most Beautiful roadster) trophy for a second year in a row. This was only the beginning for the "ala kart." More was to come, including an appearance on the October '58 cover of hot rod. Then in 1961 it was shrunken to 1.25-scale and immortalized in white polystyrene plastic by AMT.
One half century later, for the 59th annual gnrs, the "ala kart" was on hand in all of its restored glory-complete with a show display that echoed the original. Even the jackstands were wrapped up in aluminum foil-and the public-restroom-style mirror displaying the fully chromed undercarriage was in place.
Today there are still a lot of us who continue to call the Grand national roadster Show "Oakland," even though it has moved to the Pomona Fairgrounds, in Pomona, California. Producer John Buck has taken the event from its first-year debut in two buildings, on to a second year with five buildings, and then ultimately to a whopping seven buildings for 2008. Next year the gnrs will be celebrating its 60th birthday, and there is no doubt the granddaddy of them all will be a must-do for anyone, anywhere on this planet, to attend. For you european residents, we suggest that you sell all of your personal belongings and fly trans love airlines to Pomona, California ... it will be worth it.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Not to mention our april '08 cover, featuring Daroll Frewing's '08 gnrs winner a '53 Chevy, the show as swarming with former cct cover trucks. One good way to get your truck into show coverage is a sign with a cct cover on it.
What ever happened to eddie? Butch Patrick, known to most as eddie Munster, was at the gnrs, and he was digging it.Unfortunately, the Munster Coach couldn't be driven in the rain, so eddie rolled up in this coffin rail known as the "Drag-U-la."
Those kooky pinstripers were stripping everything in sight at the Pinstriper's reunion held in the main hall. Here's just one of the really nice cans we spotted at the reunion.Got a 223-inch Ford six, but nowhere to put it? Jim rizzo, of Street rodder, is building a hot-rod pickup around an old 223 that came out of a '56 F-100. Jim is a member of the Deadliners, a car club that sprouted from the offices of Street rodder magazine.

In case someone wants to migrate away from Zimbra (Open Source Edition) to another system for some reason, how can all the data (i.e. mail, contacts, tasks, calendars, ...) be exported from Zimbra to some external format so that it can be imported in the new system ?
With the network edition it's rather easy I guess: just setup outlook to connect with Zimbra and export all data to a pst file.
Then setup outlook to connect with the new system and import all data from that pst file.
But this approach doesn't apply to the Open Source Edition as far as I know
Before migrating, I want to know I'm not stuck with Zimbra in case it doesn't work out for some reason (whatever that reason may be)

The mediastinum is the area in the middle of the chest between the lungs. A mediastinoscopy is a procedure to look at this area inside the chest. A tube with a light (mediastinoscope) is placed into the upper chest through a small opening (mediastinotomy). The light allows the doctor to see the area.
This is done to examine the lungs and chest. The doctor might take tissue samples (
biopsy). These samples are viewed under a microscope to check for diseases like:
Mediastinoscopy is also done to find out if lung cancer has spread.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have mediastinoscopy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before this procedure.
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and ask you to sign a consent form. You will be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8-10 hours before the procedure. Your doctor will tell you whether you should:

through an IV in your hand or arm. This will block any pain and keep you asleep throughout the procedure. Once you are sedated, a breathing tube will be placed in your throat to help you breathe.
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room. If all is well, your breathing tube will likely be removed. The tissue samples will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
30 minutes to 2 hours
General anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your doctor may give you pain medicine for pain and tenderness after the procedure.
This procedure can be done in an outpatient setting or as part of your hospital stay. The usual length of stay is up to 24 hours if there are no unforeseen complications. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.

Went very smoothly.
The only things I had to be really careful about were a few manual customizations that were overwritten during upgrade. Viz.:
My /opt/zimbra/conf/salocal.cf.in has some custom scoring for additional RBLs. By keeping a copy of the original (pre-modification) file, I was able to confirm (using diff) that the upgrade didn't change anything in the default configuration, so I could just copy my custom file back into place. I also grep'ed the rbl addresses against /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin to make sure they hadn't been added to SA's default scoring during the upgrade. (If they had, I'd have adjusted or removed my custom scoring.)
My /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf.in had a customization to deal with Bug 45607 - Suspect.Bredozip-zippwd-13 .zip virus not detected, but I confirmed that modification is now standard in Zimbra. But after installing 6.0.7, I still had to modify the file to patch another bug, Bug 48405 - debug address left in amavisd.conf file. This will be gone in 6.0.8.
/opt/zimbra/conf/clamd.conf.in needed a small modification to deal with Bug 48824 - Amavis/SA: Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain not detected on delivery (see comment 8). Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Due to the fact that ZCS 6's installation and zmschedulebackup can't write zmbackup with the --noZip option into the zimbra crontab, some manual customization was needed here, too. I found it was easiest to just do zmschedulebackup -D and then edit the crontab to add --noZip to the lines for full and incremental backups. Hopefully Bug 45634 - add noZip option to zmschedulebackup will be addressed sometime in GnR.
Otherwise, no hiccups whatsoever.

Hi everyone,
I installed the official Zimbra app for Android, and the app seems to work great. My problem is that I can only access my Zimbra stuff through the app itself.
For example, the contacts show up in the app, but don't show up in my Android contacts list. I have the account set to sync contacts, and even in my contact list the app shows up in that menu where you can choose which accounts to display.
If I set all other accounts to hidden, and only show the contacts from the Zimbra app, the list is empty!
Does anyone know a way to get the contacts to sync? I tried using corporate sync, but some of the fields don't get synced unfortunately.
I'm using a Droid 4 running Android 2.x.

The GOP is turning us into a third world nation.
Here are fifteen things you may not know about Americas Infrastructure..
#1 One-third of America's major roads are in poor or mediocre condition.
#2 Traffic on more than half the miles of interstate highway exceeds 70 percent of capacity, and nearly 25 percent of the miles are strained at more than 95 percent of capacity.
#3 Americans waste 4.2 billion hours and 2.8 billion gallons fuel a year sitting in traffic equal to nearly one full work week and three weeks worth of gas for every traveler.
#4 Over the next 30 years, our nation is expected to grow by 100 million and highway traffic will double again. Even if highway capacity grows no faster than in the last 25 years, Americans can expect to spend 160 hours 4 work weeks each year in traffic by 2035.
#5 Nearly a third of all highway fatalities are due to substandard road conditions, obsolete road designs, or roadside hazards.
#6 Over 4,095 dams are "unsafe" and have deficiencies that leave them more susceptible to failure, especially during large flood events or earthquakes.
#7 Rolling blackouts and inefficiencies in the U.S. electrical grid cost an estimated $80 billion a year.
#8 By 2020, every major U.S. container port is projected to at least double the volume of cargo it was designed to handle. Some East Coast ports will triple in volume, and some West Coast ports will quadruple.
#9 Other countries are leapfrogging past us by investing in world-class ports. China is investing $6.9 billion; the port of Shanghai now has almost as much container capacity as all U.S. ports combined.
#10 By 2020, China plans to build 55,000 miles of highways, more than the total length of the U.S. interstate system.
#11 According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, more than 25 percent of America's nearly 600,000 bridges need significant repairs or are burdened with more traffic than they were designed to carry.
#12 More than a third of all dam failures or near failures since 1874 have happened in just the last decade.
#13 All across the United States, conditions at many state parks, recreation areas and historic sites are deplorable at best. Some states have backlogs of repair projects that are now over a billion dollars long.
#14 Over the past year, approximately 100 of New York's state parks and historic sites have had to cut services and reduce hours.
#15 All over America, asphalt roads are being ground up and are being replaced with gravel because it is cheaper to maintain. The state of South Dakota has transformed over 100 miles of asphalt road into gravel over the past year, and 38 out of the 83 counties in the state of Michigan have transformed at least some of their asphalt roads into gravel roads.

Multiple Accounts Requests & Other Account Issues
Updated on January 2016
The SWGEmu Staff
Effective Immediately:
Requests for multiple users within a household and other account requests/problems should be submitted via Support Link. This ticket should come from the account holder only (this is the person who has had the first account created). If the account belongs to a minor (youth under the age of 18), a parent or guardian may communicate with us on their behalf. A relative or friend may not send in these request for you. SWGEmu accounts should always be created from the account holder's place of residence.
When writing to us:
Please include the account names and email for the account of everyone that will be playing from your IP address. Please note on your ticket if the account belongs to a minor.
Failure to comply with all of the above will dramatically reduce our ability to provide support in a timely manner.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Update: January, 2016
When requesting permission for 2 accounts we now request a photo of only the legitimate CDs for each person playing and a piece of paper that states each account name, the email for each account, each account holders name and the email associated with each account. A photo of the CDs will prove that each account has their own legal copies; as copyright laws lend to personal use; each person must have their own set, there are no exceptions.
We now require photographic evidence for requests that include more than two (3 or over) accounts for security reasons. This entails including a picture that assures the SWGEmu Staff team that there are as many members present as is being requested for multiple account household access. Included in this picture must be all players with an account (faces do not need to be seen), papers noting the account names, email addresses, and the CD set for each account. Every account will have to have their own legitimate CDs to play just like any other SWGEmu member is required to play with, as copyright laws lend to personal use; each person must have their own set, there are no exceptions.
LAN Parties must also request multiple accounts even if it is just for one night. Different rules apply. We must have a photo of all legitimate CDs for each person playing and a piece of paper that states each account name, the email for each account, and a photo of all the consoles that will be played from. Please be sure and give us 24 hour notice so we are sure the accounts are entered into our database. We also must ask the host to log into the game so we can retrieve the IP address of where the LAN party is being held. Once the party has ended no one should be logged in without a multiple account request being sent in.
Update: July, 2015
Maximum number of accounts allowed in the same household is 6.
Please note that LAN parties are the only exception since they are not permanent.

This research guide will assist you in compiling a legislative history for a federal statute. A legislative history consists of documents created during the passage of a piece of legislation.
For major pieces of federal legislation, exhaustive legislative histories are sometimes compiled and published. The following sources list these histories by name and public law number:
You may also locate compiled legislative histories using the ASU Libraries Catalog. If a compiled legislative history has not been published, you will need to gather the documents yourself.
Locate the latest version of the code section you wish to research. Most sources for the United States Code include historical information which will be in a parenthetical at the end of each section. The parenthetical will list all public laws that added or amended the section. Historical notes provide details about what changes were made. Determine which amendments are relevant to your research and note the public-law number for each amendment.
Go to one of the following places to locate the relevant public laws:
The original bill number assigned to the proposed legislation when it was introduced in Congress can be found on the public law in any of these sources. Note the bill number.
Proposed laws are introduced in Congress as bills or joint resolutions. As they go through the legislative process they can be changed many times. Compare the public law with the bill as introduced and with any amendments offered to see how the language changed. Changes that were made or rejected may give you an indication as to intent. Find bills and information about amendments and status in the following places:
You can view the path the public law took through Congress using the following sources:
Committee Reports and Conference Reports
Conference reports are frequently the best source of legislative intent because they represent the compromises made between the House and Senate and can include language which explains the intent of the legislation. Conference reports are numbered as either a House or Senate committee report and considered part of the same series. Citation: H.Rept. [Congress No.]-[Report No.], or S.Rept. [Congress No.]-[Report No.]. Find committee and conference reports in the following places:
Hearings and Committee Prints
Hearings provide insight into what issues and questions the Committee considered important. Hearings frequently include expert testimony from citizens and interested parties. Hearings are not considered as important for determining legislative intent as are Committee Reports.
Other Congressional Documents
Discussions on the floors of Congress are available in the Congressional Record. Find the Congressional Record in the following places:
Consult CQ Weekly Reports or search the CQ Library for discussions about major pieces of legislation and their progress through the two Congressional bodies.
CRS — Legislative History Research: A Basic Guide
This report provides an overview of federal legislative history research, the legislative process, and where to find congressional documents. The report also summarizes some of the reasons researchers are interested in legislative history, briefly describes the actions a piece of legislation might undergo during the legislative process, and provides a list of easily accessible print and electronic resources.
Consult the case annotations following the relevant code sections in the U.S.C.A. or U.S.C.S., or run a search on LexisNexis or Westlaw.

Personal Use
Funding via Hluvuku-Adsema
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
Maharishi students repay their loans with work-study wages while attending school. However, due to the unpredictable nature of their work-study schedules, they may not be able to make regular repayments. In these instances, Maharishi Institute provides an advance that is deducted from students' future wages. This gives student borrowers more flexibility in meeting their loan repayment obligations while they are still in school.
This loan has been fully funded!

I am at a loss at how the defense can get better. Not necessarly good, but at least good enough to give the offense a chance to win games.
I think they need enough speed to play tighter on the receivers. Playing so far off, the receiver has the catch, has turned upfield, and gained a full head of steam by the time our guys enter the picture on the screen; i.e. we're not close to them.
It'll come up. Let's get it in there early. The DL doesn't get any pressure, so our secondary is exposed far too easily. They have to cover too long, especially for their ability.
The safeties have no idea where to be.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I believe it needs to start up front on the line, if we can't get pressure on the quarterback, it does not matter what kind of secondary we have.
The answer is the same as it's been for the last 30 years: talent on the D-Line
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
I don't know that experience can be given, because they didn't improve from game 1 to game 12 from what I could tell. Same mistakes, bad reads, penalties, etc. Bigger, faster, stronger across the board is the only thing I think can help them. They also need a playmaker in the front 7. Even one person that requires a double team from the O-line would be a great help I think. The way it is now, the opposing offense doesn't have to take any one player into account on any play because we don't have that impact player.
Unlike last year, there was no improvement as the season went on. That was the most frustrating thing. We need to see some improvement next year, or there is going to be lots of grumbling.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I agree our tackling is very poor...and I wonder if most of our missed tackles are coming from our defense looking to "blow-up" the other guy with a big hit which results in missed tackles.
Obviously, some are just plain missed tackles, but I see a lot where they go for the big hit over the sure tackle and miss it.

Indeed. I heard more talk last off-season about the Colorado comeback than the Iowa win. There is no such victory, nor improvement, to talk about now.
I'm not sure what we can build off of? We're pretty terrible in most areas.
recruit more Leonard Johnsons, and some DLs that are aggressive.
We need some big uglys on the Dline that get ****** off. Speed is also a big need. Seems like once the game starts our team plays with no emotion, except maybe LJ. If your high energy waiting to hit someone I don't know how you can play football with no emotion. Until they get the Defense figured out it makes no difference how many points we score or how many records Arnaud can put up. I would really love to hear some positivies from Chizik for this football team to get me through the winter. Even if he told us we are right where he thought we'd be after 2 years.
We need DBs that can out physical everyone's receivers. Also it be nice to have a safety that didn't let anyone get behind him.
Safeties and DL were our weakness. Our linebackers were a step slow, but they were not our downfall.
Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed Speed and Size.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
My opinion is we need ticked off big strong D-Lineman who can rush the passer. Especially if we keep with the Tampa 2 defense that is. We also need to be faster at the MLB position. The more the season went on, either sitting up in the stands during home games or on TV if it was on, whenever the MLB showed blitz and was right up on the line, the QB audibled and through it to a TE or WR over the middle for 10+ yards. Whether it was a blitz or faking, there is no way he can get back to cover the short pass routes, let alone the deep middle passes that would come since he is responsible for the deep pass over the middle in Tampa 2. If I, who spends no time studying game film, can see that during the game, how much does the opposing teams Defensive coaches figure out during their week of prep for ISU. Or safeties have taken a lot of crap all year for not covering receivers and to a point they are right. I think it is because of the shortfall of the D-line and MLB that causes them to have to cover the entire deep field instead of the outside deep ball like they should playing cover 2.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we get a respectable pass rush next year, I think we could have a pretty stiff defense. I hope we either get the personel we need or we adjust our defense to fit the players until we do get the guys to run it effectively.

FlorenceWhen your city holds the world's finest repository of Italian Renaissance art—as Florence does at the Uffizi Gallery—expectations for overall greatness are high. But this ancient cultural hub rises to the occasion—and beyond. The attractions here read like an all-star team of hotspots, including the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Ponte Vecchio, River Arno, Michelangelo's David, and Botticelli's Birth of Venus, to name a few. No wonder the "hotel Florence" scene is always jumping. In truth, all this beauty and cultural wonder can make one flee the Florence hotels in a state of extreme hunger. How glorious then that Tuscan cooking throughout the city—perhaps best enjoyed in any number of Left Bank trattorias—makes for the type of meals one remembers for a lifetime. Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury properties in Florence.

Through a Glass, Sparkly: Holiday Windows in NYC
by Christina Parrella, 12/11/2012
(From left) "The BG Follies of 2012" at Bergdorf Goodman, photo by Joe Buglewicz • "Snowflake Spectacular" at Saks Fifth Avenue, photo by Jemal Countess/Getty Images
Sipping hot chocolate in Central Park, ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and browsing fashion and food finds at multiple holiday markets are all festive, must-do December activities in New York City. But the holidays wouldn't be complete without a visit to the elaborate seasonal window displays at NYC department stores and luxury-goods flagships. Each year, the stores seem determined to outdo their own previous efforts, and 2012 is no different, from Bergdorf Goodman's jazz-age tribute to an elaborate circus show at Bloomingdale's to the innovative "hands-on" experience at Cartier. Here's a roundup of the splendor on display this season.

This is so adorable!! I love that he spoke about the passion of the game! It seems like so many people play here just for money! It's nice to know that there are people who still just love the game!ReplyDelete

Oh, and I was looking through your blog on the travels page and I saw that y'all have been to Shreveport, LA!! That's where I live! Did y'all come to play the Captains??ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading this! Working for a baseball team I really only get to see the business side, I don't get to see how it is for the players... JB sounds like he is really enjoying the sport & has a passion for it. It's refreshing to hear that because the pro athletes I come across these days really seem to have lost the love for the game.ReplyDelete
It's even difficult for baseball players to get citizenship! Awesome article, very well spoken. Congrats JB!ReplyDelete
he's famous! i like the photos. :)ReplyDelete
Wow I love this!! My family are baseball fanatics. My grandpa played in the MLB as the first catcher for the New York Mets when they first became a team. Then he was traded to the SF Giants, and moved the whole family out to the Bay Area. My brother plays baseball in high school and is hoping to get a scholarship! I will mention to him about baseball overseas. Congrats on the article to your hubby!! (:ReplyDelete
LOVED This! Gave me even more of a glimpse into what your life has been like. SO fascinating!ReplyDelete

Awww!! This is so cool Sarah!!! <3ReplyDelete
How cute! And i must say the girl with the picture on her shirt is the cutest thing ever!!ReplyDelete
You might… No you have, no doubt about it, the coolest life EVER!ReplyDelete
I'm moving to Germany in March for a year to become an Au Pair for a family and I was so disappointed to know that I would be missing out on baseball season here in the states. Good to know I will be able to get a dose of it while I'm in Europe. I will have to make my way over to Switzerland to get my dose of it though!
New to your blog and I just love everything about your style! :) Such a class act!

Vice Chairman for Clinical Affairs in Neurosurgery
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified neurosurgeon who has been at Memorial Sloan Kettering since 1995. I specialize in the care of patients with primary and metastatic tumors of the spine and spinal cord, as well as those with sinonasal and skull-base tumors.
I am the director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's multidisciplinary spine tumor team, which has a weekly, multidisciplinary clinic and tumor board to facilitate coordinated patient care. This focused group is comprised of dedicated physicians from neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, radiation oncology, neuroradiology, interventional neuroradiology, medical oncology, physiatry, and pain and palliative care. The evolution of specialized techniques in each discipline has significantly improved the treatment of patients with spine and paraspinal tumors.
Our team evaluates over 1,400 spine tumors a year, with the goal of creating an individualized treatment plan for each patient that is most effective for improving neurologic function and mobility, stabilizing the spine, controlling local tumor growth, and ultimately improving quality of life.
Although just 10 percent of patients will require spine surgery, all will need effective treatment to prevent paralysis and provide meaningful pain relief. While I have developed a number of novel surgical techniques to treat spine tumors and operate on 150 benign and malignant spine tumors each year, the majority of patients can be effectively treated non-invasively with stereotactic radiation therapy and the possible addition of percutaneous kyphoplasty. In this latter technique, the radiologist inserts bone cement into a vertebra through a very minimally invasive procedure in order to provide support and relieve pain.
In addition, I am the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, and I served as a lead author on the book Tumors of the Spine. I have lectured across the United States and around the world about the treatment of spine and skull-base tumors. I am on the editorial board of the Annals of Surgical Oncology, Neurosurgery, and Skull Base Surgery.
Working with my radiation oncology and physics colleagues Drs. Josh Yamada and Michael Lovelock, I serve as one of the lead investigators in the International Spine Radiosurgery Consortium, which is aimed at improving the delivery and effectiveness of radiosurgery. I have also served as the director of the metastatic section of the Spine Oncology Study Group.

Over the years, church leaders and Bible readers have found the UBS Handbooks to be useful for their own study, since many of the issues Bible translators must address when trying to communicate the Bible's message to modern readers are the ones Bible students must address when approaching the Bible text as a part of their own private

NGC 4565 was the second object to sketch since we had just finished with M94. It was not a particularly great night for viewing with the Lancaster sky glow, some haze, and a desert wind, but the astro video equipment put a decent image on the screen so we could sit together and sketch it.
C8 with MCHC video camera
14 seconds integration with 60% gain
Magnification: about 160X
25 minute sketch about 11 pm PDT
It was a good night to give thanks.
The M94 sketches are on a previous thread rather than here. My apologies for being late with them when I was the one that suggested hitting it for a weekend sketch project.

PARIS (AP) -- Serena Williams has won her 16th Grand Slam title and her first French Open championship since 2002, beating familiar foil Maria Sharapova 6-4, 6-4.
Saturday's victory completed the No. 1-ranked Williams' rebound from a shocking loss to 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano in the first round at Roland Garros a year ago. Since that defeat she's 74-3, including titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the London Olympics and the season-ending WTA Championships.
Williams has won a career-best 31 consecutive matches. She improved to 14-2 against Sharapova, including victories in their past 13 meetings, with four of the wins this year.
At 31, Williams became the oldest woman to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990 at age 33.

Two explosions around 2 p.m. at the finish line of the Boston Marathon resulted in at least three deaths.
The explosions Monday also injured more than 130 people, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet.
Some of the victims lost arms and legs. Other injuries included broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.
Spectators and runners described the twin explosions.
One woman says she was waiting for her husband to cross the finish line, and, in her words, "it just blew." She described it as "a loud boom, and then glass everywhere." Cherie Falgoust says something hit her head, and she "just ducked."
A runner, Laura McLean of Toronto, says she heard two explosions outside the medical tent. She says, "There are people who are really, really bloody." McLean says, "they were pulling them into the medical tent."
The explosions took place about three hours after the winners crossed the finish line. The second one could be heard a few seconds after the first one.
A runner said, "There are a lot of people down."
Marathon workers were seen carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg.

Gumshara Ramen - Open Tuesday-Sunday for lunch and dinner
Ichi Ban Boshi - Open Monday-Friday for lunch and dinner
I quite enjoy both places, I think Ichi-ban Boschi was the first place I had ramen. I still don't know where the BEST place is but I guess like all noodle soup dishes, it's something that may divide people based on personal taste and preference.
I've had a hankering for ramen for some time now, and I'll be soon to satisfy that craving hopefully. My mouth is watering at the thought of the pork spare ribs
i like cats. *sobs* i also like ramen.
Ramen Raff loves Ramen!!!!!! But my most favourite dish of all dishes in the whole wide world is Gumshara' pork spare rib ramen! The thickness & liquified porkyness is exceptional! Was just there last Friday! Goin back this weekend and I see myself in there the next few weeks!
Ichi ban boshi is pretty awesome too! Like the tantanmen and iced green tea capp.
I love Ichi-ban Boshi - it's where I burst my Ramen bubble so to speak. Have been to Gumshara once and had the pork spare rib soup - noice! I had a ramen moster following me last week so I ducked down to Berklouw Books in Newtown and killed it at their Ramen Bar there. Noms!
Extra karaage, extra corn and extra egg - I like your style Miss G :)
Please feature Menya too...you know we love their noodles!
Haha, karaage chicken ramen with extra karaage!
I'm not sure this post is so much about the lucky cats as the many-faces-of-Demos-eating =p
Thanks for the comments guys - I do love my ramen like a lucky cat likes...luck?

Feb. 25, 2013
Lowndes Co., GA - Pastor Curtis Sermons looked out over the ruins of his Church. Monday was the two month anniversary since the "Ousley Temple Church of God in Christ" burned down early Christmas Morning. Ever since, the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department has been investigating it as an arson.
"It is almost inconceivable that anyone, no matter how bad of shape they are in or their need for funds, would break into a church and then by intent or whatever burn the church down," said Pastor Curtis Sermons.
23 year old Martavius Davis from Quitman and 27 year old Relandall Samuel from Thomasville are in Lowndes County Jail, charged with stealing from the church, then burning it down. Although it's unclear whether the fire was set intentionally or not.
Three other people have also been arrested in connection to stolen property popping up at local pawn shops.
"I'm glad that they caught the persons who did it. The other part is it's saddening to know a young person would do such a thing," Pastor Sermons said.
Services for Ousley Church are being held every Sunday at Redland Baptist Church just down the road. They plan to rebuild, possibly in the same spot, but right now they are still raising funds, since the church did not have insurance.
To donate there is a fund set up through "Bank of the Ozarks" of West Hill Avenue in Valdosta.

By Jan RahnManaging Editor Lengthy discussion at the last Grant City Council meeting led to a bid being accepted to replace the roof at Hastings Memorial Library because of leakage problems. Weathercraft Roofing Company of Ogallala was awarded the job at $29,920. The work will be completed by May 15 according to specifications of the bid. Much of the project cost will be covered by an insurance payment received due to storm damage. Only one other bid was received.

Scotland Travel guide
Scotland : Michelin's recommendations
Scotland has fostered an unforgettable image, from ghost stories and romantic ruins to moors covered in heather, the Loch Ness monster and kilt-clad giants playing the bagpipes. And just think of all the films, from Hamlet to The Da Vinci Code, that have used Scotland as a backdrop.
Nature has been carefully preserved here, thanks to the work of the Scottish Wildlife Trust founded in 1964. You can see its famous red deer, grey seals in North Rona, majestic golden eagles on the Isle of Skye, as well as dolphins, killer whales, Minke and humpback whales, especially around the Hebrides.
Nothing evokes Scotland quite like the sublime landscapes of the Highlands with their spooky but ultra-photogenic ruins, their rugged and beautiful mountains and misty lochs.
Although the coast isn't exactly brimming with seaside resorts, due to the temperature of the water, it does possess some beautiful scenery: cliffs that turn red at sunset, fjords worthy of Scandinavia, traditional little fishing ports and endless unspoilt beaches.
The historical and architectural legacy from the country's rich and turbulent past (marked by wars against the English) is of the same calibre. You'll see for yourself when you explore its two main urban and industrial centres, Glasgow and Edinburgh, fascinating places to visit year round with their beautiful Georgian and Art nouveau buildings by Mackintosh, their museums and festivals!

The Old Gods and the New (Complete Guide to Westeros)
this wiki
"The Old Gods and the New" is a featurette and part of "History & Lore" section of the Complete Guide to Westeros, a special feature in the Blu-ray of Season 1 of Game of Thrones. It is narrated by Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark and Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark.
Catelyn and Bran Stark discuss the worship of the Old Gods of the Forest and the Seven in Westeros.
Lady Catelyn explains that in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros the dominant religion is the Faith of the Seven, first brought by the Andals approximately six thousand years ago.
Bran reminds that there are those who still keep to the old way, worshipping the faceless gods of the Children of the Forest and the First Men. These Old Gods are countless, nameless spirits of nature. In the past, the Children had carved faces on the trunks of weirwood trees, which became sacred to their faith. In time, the First Men adopted the Old Gods. Most castles of the time contain a godswood with a weirwood at its center, serving as a heart tree.
Lady Catelyn narrates that across the Narrow Sea, a new religion was born in the hills of Andalos. According to legend, the God of Seven revealed itself to the Andals and their invasion of Westeros began soon after. The Andals sailed across the Narrow Sea, armed with weapons of steel. Some warriors carved a seven-pointed star into their skin as a symbol of their faith.
Bran recalls that the invaders destroyed most of the weirwoods of the southern Westeros, slaughtered the Children of the Forest wherever they could find them and conquered every kingdom of the First Men, except for the Kingdom of the North. In time, the Faith of the Seven spread throughout the land.
Bran continues explaining each aspect of the God of Seven, each symbolizing an area of human life, though most people refer to them as separate gods.
Catelyn mentions that the Mother is prayed to for mercy and watches over fertility, childbirth and peace. The Father sits in judgment over souls. The Warrior is prayed to for protection, courage and skill in battle. The Crone represents wisdom and foresight. The Smith watches over creation and craftmanship. The Maiden symbolizes purity, love and beauty. Finally, there is the Stranger, who is rarely prayed to, and who represents death.
The Faith of the Seven is a highly organized institution and influential in Westerosi politics and culture as it is the official religion of the monarchy. Worshippers gather in temples called septs, while the central seat of the Faith is the Great Sept of Baelor, located in King's Landing, the capital city of the realm.
Bran intervenes that in the North, where the descendants of the First Men dwell, the worship of the Old Gods continues to this day, and the faces of the weirwood trees keep watch over the faithful.
