Founded in 1958, Quincy College is a two-year, municipally affiliated college serving approximately 4,000 students at campuses located in Quincy and Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Quincy College Mission Statement
Quincy College is an open access institution that encourages academic achievement and excellence, diversity, economic opportunity, community involvement, and lifelong learning. The College facilitates valuable learning relationships that inspire students to realize their educational and professional futures.
The college offers 34 associate degree programs and 22 certificate programs in a variety of disciplines, including those within Professional Programs, Liberal Arts, Natural & Health Sciences and Nursing. The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and is licensed by the Board of Higher Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to grant the degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science. The college draws a diversity of students from the greater Boston area as well as 100 countries around the world.
Quincy College History
During the mid-1950s, demand for higher education on the South Shore, and Quincy in particular, led to the creation of the Citizen's Committee appointed to study the feasibility of establishing a community college. This committee recommended that a community college should exist and as early as 1956, the first college-level courses are offered.
In May of 1957, College Courses, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization, was officially formed to help further higher education on the South Shore. In the Fall of that same year, the first freshman class began at what will later be known as Quincy College.
Less than five years later, Quincy College was empowered to award the Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science degrees.
In 1991, the school founded the Plymouth campus located thirty minutes south of Quincy in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Quincy College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering postgraduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that the institution meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality. Assessments are periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purpose through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or of the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
Quincy College is authorized by The Board of Higher Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to award the Degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science and Certificates of Completion, and is approved by the Board of Higher Education for the training of veterans and their dependents.

Sweet stem!
Stem is sweet. Color is pimp. They dont supply torque values but they answered my email when i asked
Looks good, light and adjustability is rad.
Got this stem in neon green last season for my new Boxxer. Its SUPER light, looks awesome and the adjustable reach is great. This was the first direct mount I have ever used but being able to dial in my cockpit made a huge difference. The zero rise is also nice as my bars have a slight rise to them. All in all the cockpit of my bike is dialed to perfection.
Do these come in blue?
Do these come in blue?
will this fit Manitou travis triple?

The Manitou travis Triple comes with it's own stem and this will will not work. You should look at the Rock Shox Boxxer or the Fox 40.

Awesome stuff....
I just shut down Blackberry Controller service, done a backup of my 5.0.18 NE on RHEL 5.3 x86_64 and run the 6.0.0 GA installer - All working.
Outlook users with Outlook Connector 5.0.18 aren't reporting any issues (OK I only have 20 such users so my install-base is hardly indicative).
Blackberry Connector 5.0.18 seems to be working also as my BES users (8 total) aren't reporting any dramas either.

Just hours after a fuel oil tanker crashes into the Webberville Oil building, schools in the area made the decision to send students home for the day as a safety precaution.
All schools were evacuated on Wednesday at noon. Webberville school officials say they needed to make the decision to ensure the safety of its students.
The high school was evacuated earlier in the day and shared space for 45 minutes with the elementary school. But word came shortly after that students were given the okay to go back inside the building. Once again though, officials decided to send the older students home.
Local businesses in the area say business was slow early in the day, but it picked up as the day went on. Local community members say everyone knows everyone, and they hops those injured aren't familiar faces.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) Sewage at a Pizza Hut and rats at an Adams Morgan sushi restaurant top this week's WUSA9 Food Alert on restaurant closures for serious health department violations.
To know about restaurant closures first, follow @russptacekon Twitter or Facebook.
All the restaurants passed health department re-inspections and are back in business.
In the heart of Adams Morgan, our Food Alert cameras recorded rat feces on the basement floor in a restaurant known for Asian fusion and sushi.
Prior to our visit, health inspectors cited the restaurant, North Sea Carryout on 18th St. NW, for 20 violations
The manager showed us paperwork proving he'd corrected the certified food safety manager violation, and a tour inside showed no sign of large flies cited by inspectors or the thermometer violations cited in the suspension report.
He said an exterminator is battling the situation, but we found rat droppings in two locations in the restaurant's basement storage area.
We didn't find any violations in the kitchen.
Next to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration campus in Silver Spring, at Tis Corner Café on East West Highway, the manager showed us they'd fixed the closure violation there.
Inspectors cited the café for no hot water, but during our visit, we measured their hot water at over 100 degrees, meeting Maryland code.
Also on East-West Highway, Jason's sub Jason's Sub in Takoma Park was shut down for the same violation of no hot water.
The owner said they didn't realize their pilot light had gone out prior to the inspection and allowed us to check the sub shop/Chinese carryout's hot water temperature.
It passed Maryland code at over 100 degrees.
Inspectors also cited Jason's subs for touching prepared food with their bare hands.
In Wheaton, at Bubble Tea Café at Westfield Wheaton Mall, inspectors ordered another no hot water closure and cited the store for not staffing anyone licensed in food safety.
During out visit a worker showed us a valid food safety license and allowed us to test the water which measured a piping hot 140 degrees.
On Macarthur Blvd NW, Inspectors cited Chen's Gourmet for an infestation of cock roaches in the kitchen and at the front counter.
Inspectors also cited the Chinese carryout for not staffing anyone licensed in safely handling food.
When we visited, workers told us the person who had a food safety license, required to operate a restaurant, had gone shopping.
In Hyattsville on Queens Chapel Road, inspectors cited Pizza Hut saying the restrooms didn't work, sewage was backing up in parking lot, and no one was licensed to manage food safety.
The day we visited, a worker told us the licensed food safety manager had left the building, but the toilets flushed and there was no sign of sewage in the parking lot.

After upgrading both the server and connector to 5.0.10 some of our users are experiencing some weird issues.
We have had a few users that seems have had the old bug where new mail isn't showing up in outlook. The only solution is to close and re-open outlook. I haven't seen this until this past week and i'm not sure why it would pop up all of a sudden.
Also, we have had some users getting some issues syncing. When they start up outlook it syncs gal,mail, and calendars. We have a shared calendar that most people use and it basically just says unknown failure when trying to sync that calendar. It continues to try to sync it over and over with the same error.
Anyone else seen these issues with this 5.0.10 release?

Trick Tubing ConnectorsWritten by Eric Geisert on February 1, 2011 Walden's Makes An Off-Road Part Useful For Hot Rods
Recently we found, when stopping by Walden Speed Shop in Pomona, California, that Bobby Walden was busy building a customer's chassis. Many things separate Walden's chassis from others on the market, as he fabricates his own framerails and designs his own crossmembers, too.
Some folks, when it comes to needing a removable section of tubing for a transmission mount or crossmember, use a two-hole flange butted up and bolted to another flange to connect the three pieces needed to make up the piece. Walden adapted a particular type of tubing connector found in many off-road racing applications for this job, and while the old-style flange brackets get the job done, they are bulky, and these new units are streamlined in comparison, making for a cleaner installation.
STREET RODDER found these connectors at several off-road shops in the SoCal region, as they are made by many different companies. One in particular, DeNunzio Racing Products, in Goleta, California, offers six different "stock" sizes (1-, 1.25-, 1.5-, 1.625-, 1.75-, and 2-inch couplers) machined from 4130 tubing, though they make custom-size couplers, too.
As Walden installed the connectors, we followed the steps he used to incorporate them into his chassis, so check out the process in the following photos.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here is a pair of the tubing couplers Walden used. Each end fits inside a section of tubing and, once interlocked, is secured with machine head cap screws.Walden welds the transmission mount to the central tubing piece, and then adds the inner half of the coupler to it. Next, he adds the other halves to the section of tubing that will make up the rest of the crossmember.Once everything fits right, Walden will finish-weld the coupled trans mount pieces together. Even when studied closely, it's hard to tell the centersection is removable.

WASHINGTON – There are small ways to save money as gas prices rise across the country.
In the last week, prices have spiked by 14 cents. It's an increase drivers haven't seen since February of this year, according to AAA.
While looking for the best prices around town is the most effective way to save, the Department of Energy says making small changes can help save fuel as well.
The DEO recommends emptying the trunk — a change that can mean 2 percent in savings. Driving the speed limit will save between 7 and 14 percent, according to the DOE's FuelEconomy.gov.
Mobile apps like Gas Buddy and AAA's Triptik can help drivers locate the cheapest gas stations near them.
In D.C., the average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.80. It's slightly less in Maryland and Virginia.

Troncones, Mexico: Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo's Secret Paradise
The Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo region is one of the more popular vacation destinations for those seeking a Mexico beach vacation. Although they are two distinct cities, Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are often lumped together because of their proximity and their shared focus on tourism. They are located about 150 miles north of Acapulco, sharing the same stretch of the Costa Grande, but with fewer crowds and a more traditional atmosphere.
Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is the third most popular tourist area in Mexico (after Cancun and Puerto Vallarta). It is known around the world as an ideal destination for history buffs and sports fisherman, as well as families who want to enjoy coastal Mexico without the traditionally young and unruly crowds associated with spring break destinations.
Things to Do in Zihuatanejo
A Mexican beach vacation comes with all sorts of itinerary options. In addition to the popular activities of sunbathing and enjoying the beach, there are shops, restaurants, nightclubs, historical ruins, museums, and eco-tourism sites. Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy surfing and snorkeling, as well as fishing, which remains one of the most popular options here.
Of course, not all the great locations are within city boundaries. Some of the best historical sites require a day trip closer to the country's interior. The upscale shopping and nightlife of Ixtapa are a small distance from the waterfront center of Zihuatanejo, and are often best enjoyed on a quick weekend away.
And if what you really want is a real secret paradise, where the crowds disappear only to leave sun, sand, surf, and an incredible luxury vacation opportunity, a forty-five minute trip north is all you need. Troncones, Mexico is a small fishing village located in the same state, and with the same great tropical backdrop. But instead of crowds of people and the noise of a metropolitan center, the only things you'll see and hear are the typical side effects of a tropical beach villa: silence and nature.
Troncones, Mexico
The history of Troncones is one of a fishing village that remained untouched by commerce and industry for centuries. The town didn't open up to tourism until the mid-twentieth century, and even then on a small scale that enticed those looking for adventure away from the city centers. Today, it remains an almost hidden gem of a destination—but that doesn't mean you won't find plenty to see and do. A brief list of activities here might include:
- Horseback Riding
- Yoga
- Tennis
- Golf
- Fishing
- Surfing/Longboarding
- Kiteboarding
- Swimming
- Boating
- Snorkeling
- Beachcombing
- Sea Turtle/Whale Watching
- Weddings
- Fine Dining
- Eco-Tours
Of course, this list doesn't even begin to touch all the romantic possibilities of a private villa for two. Romantic walks on the beach, a day spent hand-in-hand on the sand, or even the luxury accommodations of your private facilities offer endless opportunities to enjoy your Mexico beach vacation.
If you are planning a trip to coastal Mexico, be sure and include Troncones on your list of possibilities. Close enough to city centers to provide everything you need, but remote enough to offer everything you want, it's the ideal tropical vacation destination.

Photo Gallery | PHOTOS: Large fight at Arden Fair Mall causes panic
SACRAMENTO, CA - Arden Fair Mall went into lockdown after a large fight in the food court Wednesday around 4:45 p.m.
Sacramento police said three teens were arrested after a fist-fight, involving 20 juveniles, broke out.
"He swung at one of the dudes; they started fighting and all the groups jumped in, and they all started fighting," said shopper Gabby Miller, who witnessed the fight.
Miller said even after police and mall security jumped in, some of the teens kept fighting.
"The police caught maybe three of them, and then they all came over here towards the pretzel place and did it a second time," Miller explained.
That's when many customers in the mall went into a panic. The loud sounds from the fight echoed through the mall sounding like gunshots.
"Something similar to gunshots; we don't know if there was actually gunshots, but it did sound like shots," store employee Crystal Rocha said.
"You start thinking the worst thing that can possibly happen, like I just imagined someone with a gun or someone coming into the store and threatening us," shopper Ashley Ventura said.
"We hid behind a jewelry counter at Macy's, and then I was finally like, we need to get out of here. I'm not about to get shot behind a jewelry counter," shopper Samantha Lanni said.
PHOTOS: Large fight at Arden Fair Mall causes panic
Mall Security Director Steve Reed said no gunshots were fired during or after the fight. Sacramento police said reports of a shooting or someone with a gun were unfounded. They believe the sounds of large signs falling over may have led people to report shots fired.
Many stores went into lock down closing their metal gates when the incident began.
Security worked well
Witnesses said police and security officers were at the scene of the fight in less than a minute.
"The policeman came up and pulled away the group and then people started running," Miller said.
The mall has 167 cameras constantly monitoring the mall in real-time and security officers can be given radio instructions within moments of an disturbance. There were also at least four Sacramento police officers working off-duty at the mall when the fight broke out.
A number of store employees did their part to try to shield customers from harm.
Store manager Crystal Rocha, with cutegirl.com, locked the front doors of her store, then led frightened shoppers out the back door of the store to the parking lot.
The incident was over so quickly that many responding officers were cancelled before ever reaching the mall.
By 6 p.m. the mall was re-opened to the public and stores lifted their security gates. Reed said the mall had "business as usual" Wednesday night.
Even after it was all over, it was hard for many to catch their breath.
"You just never know what could happen at any time," shopper Nicole Marino said.

Project X Suspension ShakedownWritten by on February 1, 2012 Our famous '57 Chevy gets some suspension tweaks on the road. You gain some important chassis know-how from RideTech!
The true measure of any project, no matter how well planned, is to put it to the test. That's especially true with hot rods and custom cars; there's never been one built that didn't require some alterations after the shakedown run. You just gotta drive 'em to find the flaws—and you can quote us on that.
In the last issue we brought the tale of Project X's first real road trip since it's rebirth via PHR teaming up with GM Performance Parts and their Skunkworks division. Most of X's prior outings had been short jaunts and often at modest speeds through town and traffic. Joining up with the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER magazine Road Tour allowed us to spend long periods of time behind the wheel at freeway speeds and on many less-than-ideal back roads. That's where you can start finding all the little stuff that will go mostly unnoticed otherwise.
All seemed fine at first when we got up to speed on the freeway, though the ride was a bit overly firm. We really weren't concerned about the harshness until several dozen miles into the trip when we ran across the first large break in the asphalt and received an unsettling surprise. We'd describe it this way: The front felt like it transmitted the shock of the bump directly from the tire to the steering wheel with very little dampening, kind of like a go-kart. The rear was a bit more troubling. A significant bump resulted in a jarring impact with the rearend jerking to the left. Needless to say, we slowed down and watched the road cautiously. Luckily, our first leg of the 700-mile road trip was short and mostly on slow Indiana back roads.
Fortuitously, our last stop of the day was at RideTech in Jasper, Indiana. After a great tour around the shop and a generous barbecue dinner, the rest of the Road Tourians departed. We hung around bench racing with RideTech's Bret Voelkel about various projects and mentioned X's ill ride quality. Since he'd shut down the shop for the day and had no plans, Voelkel insisted that we pull X in and get it up on their lift for a look. It's a good thing we listened. Here's how it went down …
See it in Action!
Check out the video of us testing Project X the next day on what had to be the roughest road in Indiana on PHR's new YouTube channel: YouTube.com/PopularHotRodding!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
We had a similar issue in the front; the shock body was once again too long to allow significant travel when compressed into its installed height, but that didn't really matter since the 400-lb/in spring was in full bind with essentially � inch (at best) of travel available.While X has been in the air on our two-post lifts a couple times, RideTech's four-poster represented the first time we'd taken a look underneath while the suspension was at normal ride height. What we discovered immediately explained the ride quality.Unfortunately, Voelkel didn't have his scales on hand for us to weigh X exactly, but he was able to run some numbers using previous experience and the amount of compression exhibited by the 250-lb/in springs to determine an excellent starting point. The RideTech spec'd Hyperco springs are 375 lb/in and mounted on one of RideTech's new non-adjustable mono-tube coilovers.Here was another issue we discovered with X at ride height: Even if the coilovers had any travel, there was only about � inch before the axle hit the bumpstops. Even trimming didn't do the job (they were longer than pictured!), so Voelkel installed some of RideTech's shortest stops (foreground) to allow the coilovers to do their job.Voelkel stepped up the spring rate considerably to 550-lb/in RideTech/Hyperco (left) springs rather than the 400s (right). The larger diameter wire on the RideTech springs allows for more distance between coils and therefore more available compression during suspension travel.The problem was actually compound; at 14 inches eyelet-to-eyelet free height, the coilover bodies themselves were too long for the 11-inch installed height, and the 250-lb/in spring was insufficient for X's heft and was nearly in full coil bind. There was roughly 1 inch of travel available.With the new RideTech equipment, we ended up with the same low ride height, but 3 inches of possible travel, and far more appropriate spring rates and valving to handle X's massive rear wheels when a bump puts them in motion.Creating X's front coilovers was much trickier than the rear, and required a custom-built 3.5-inch body as well as a custom spacer for the spring. Thankfully, RideTech's shop is fully equipped with fabrication and machining equipment and guys who know how to chuck up a hunk of aluminum and whittle out spacers in short order.Here's how that slick spacer created the new front coilover assembly for X. There were two reasons for this creative solution: A 550-lb/in spring of ideal length wasn't available, and this arrangement worked nicely to create more control arm clearance at full droop for the larger diameter spring. The result is a custom part specific to X that fits perfectly. Problem solving is hot rodding!
We had no fitment issues on the control arm side even with the adjusting collar on the coilover set to the bottom of the threads. We've even got room for adjustment if the need arises.The bottom endlink is the one removed from X; the top is the �-inch longer custom one created from RideTech parts to fine-tune the sway bar's orientation.Fishing the whole assembly with the spacer up through the control arms was a little tight, but luckily nothing else had to be removed.The new coilover package actually dropped X's nose roughly an inch while still giving us almost 3 inches of suspension travel. The height drop did necessitate modification to the sway bar endlinks, though.That simple fix put the bar back in proper relation after the slight lowering. Now we'll actually get to see how well it functions since the suspension is able to move.Here you can see what we meant by control arm clearance. During normal driving circumstances we'll never extend the coilovers this far (hopefully!), but this arrangement will prevent any spring and control arm contact issues when lifting X on a two-post lift that allows the suspension to droop.These are the rodders from RideTech who made our late-night suspension swap possible. We should mention that it was about 1 a.m. by this time. The RideTech crew wasn't about to cut corners or let X leave their shop with a Band-Aid. Thanks to these guys the rest of the road trip was smooth sailing—literally.

Many women complain of brittle and weak nails that lead to breakage, splitting and peeling. Trind Hand and Nail Care specializes in products that strengthen the nails while providing nourishing moisture. Everyday wear and tear combined with constant polish jobs can do a number on your nails. Internal factors can also play a role in the health of the nails. Trind nail products were developed in order to help everyone achieve healthy and balanced nails. Trind nail repair formulas can transform weak and brittle nails into strong and healthy nails. Rough and peeling cuticles can also benefit from nourishing and hydrating formulas that are good for the entire hand.
Trind Cosmetics is a Dutch company dedicated to the specialized field of hand and nail care. The products are highly effective at restoring strength and vitality without compromising the natural structure of the nail. Rather than temporarily relieving symptoms associated with weak nails, Trind products were developed to promote a lifetime of healthier hands. Solutions from Trind are now available in a host of different countries, allowing millions of women to enjoy beautiful and thriving nails.
Regular manicures might sound appealing, but they might not be realistic. From busy schedules to tight budgets, a number of factors can limit your time spent in the nail salon. At the same time, constant polishing can hinder the overall health of your nails, leading to increased brittleness and breakage. If you're not pleased with the current condition of your nails, Trind Hand and Nail Care can help. Or, perhaps dry skin or aging has impacted the beauty of your hands. No matter your area of concern, you can find the products you need in this specialty brand.
Trind Hand and Nail Care understands the science behind creating healthy and strong nails. Its products are capable of strengthening the nails without disturbing the delicate balance between protein moisture and nail moisture. Nail repair products in this line can work to maintain the moisture content of your nails while strengthening them. This enhanced moisture can also help with nail breakage, as dry nails are more prone to breaking and becoming brittle. If an at-home manicure is what you desire, consider Trind Hand and Nail Care products that can help you trim and treat your cuticles to give you a perfectly polished look. In fact, you can have everything you need to give yourself a salon-quality manicure at home. In addition to nail repair and cuticle treatments, this line also allows you to stock up on buffers, nail files, and polishes that can even make a French manicure simple. Complete your hand and nail care with one of Trind's hand repair products or creams to hydrate and nourish.

Snowboarding legend and superstar Shaun White (USA) delights the crowd landing the first ever Double McTwist 1260 (Tomahawk). The "flying tomato", as he is known in the snowboarding world, secured the Olympic snowboarding Gold Medal after his first run, but beat that score on his victory run scoring 48.4 out of 50. Teammate Scotty Lago won the Bronze with a 42.8, and Finland's Peetu Piiroinen won the Olympic snowboarding half-pipe Silver Medal with an outstanding performance.

adjustment wrench for DiscMounts DM-6

your tool box. Unless you have to have one that fits inside the DM-6, $40 plus shipping is a bit much for what looks like a $2 tool.
I just tried a 15/16" open end wrench and works fine for loosening and tightening the tension nut inside the DM-6.
Posted 15 June 2013 - 11:00 AM
Thanks, Jim! When the mount arrives I'll hunt around in my toolbox to see if I already have something that works. And if not, I'll check out the local hardware and bicycle stores.
Posted 15 June 2013 - 12:31 PM
FWIW. Cone wrenches seem to come in metric sizes only and 24mm is slightly bigger equivalent of 15/16".
With a hack saw,vise and file one may cut down the handle to fit inside the DM-6.

On the other hand, if you are the lucky guy who bought the DM-6 plus pretty much everything else accessory wise on Amart this week - you got a pretty impressive deal that I would have jumped at had it lasted more than a few minutes, LOL. Your money of course so I wouldn't presume but the right wrench is pretty important to make this mount sing as it should.
I use a couple different scopes on my DM-4 and use the tool often.

Almost every alt/az mount I've had benefits from the az bearing being set as lightly as possible without the nut being loose, and the DM6 is no exception even with my FS152.
I haven't yet figured out whether the azimuth tension will be as easy to adjust, but the way it's currently set seems to be just fine.
Congrats on the mount I know you'll love it! BTW Tom Peters recommends and I will vouch for setting the alt adjustment on the tight side, you don't want it to be "light fingertip" style movement, you want the mount to be set and require some effort to move so it stays where it is pointed even when changing eyepieces. Even when the alt nut is somewhat tight the DM6 movement is super buttery smooth, that's what you want.
Posted 23 June 2013 - 06:32 PM
With my Dremel tool and a metal cutting disk I cut away probably about 1/16" from inside the wrench and now it works perfectly. It's bigger and heavier, but now I'm less likely to lose it as a consequence.

Tom had to have it custom manufactured...with it's kink and thinness. And as we know, limited machining runs aren't done for free. I'm sure Tom wishes it was less expensive too, but it is what it is. I'm not planning to loose mine!!

Here's why the wrench cost what it does. If your going to make 20,000 or a 100,000 wrenches, you have a die made for a press ($10k or more for the die). You slide a 10 foot by 20 foot piece of steel into the press and boom within seconds, hundreds of wrenches fall out, slide another 10 x 20 piece in and hundreds more. Or if you want 200 pieces you put a 6 inch x 18 inch pieces of steel in and 20 minutes latter 8 wrenches come out. Than you sand and file each one and have it platted. Of course platting for 20k is a lot less than for 200. It's economy of scale, period.
The friction nut can be tightened enough by hand, but the wrench makes it a lot easier. I have only sold a few extras because most customers either don't loose them or don't need them after the friction is adjusted. I think the only customer that bought more than one spare is Boeing Research. If you have a DM-6 put the wrench on the magnet inside the box. If you have a DM-4 put the wrench in your eyepiece case or somewhere you wont lose it or forget were it is.

The handles rock. I have both the 18" and the 24", both angled. Really useful, especially when you want to quickly pan the scope from one side of the sky to the other without having to shove the focuser/binoviewer/etc.

Hi Mark, thanks for your input on the handles. Can you slew to the zenith without the handle hitting the tripod? And if so, what type of tripod are you using? (I've got the standard height DiscMounts wooden tripod.)
No, it does hit the tripod riiiiiight before zenith. Not an issue for me though as I can't see exact zenith from my spot anyway. I'm using the Berlebach Planet with an 8" extension, and the 24" handle. A longer extension would allow the scope to reach zenith without a problem, I think.

I was under the impression that an anti-theist was someone who actively pushed people away from deity beliefs and would make arguments about why gods aren't real while atheists were people who just decided not to believe in a supreme being.
Though, definitions are funny sometimes. "Pagan" originally meant "of the countryside/villager" and it morphed into "someone who believe in multiple gods" just because Christianity took off in cities first and many village people were just isolated enough to keep their old traditions.

Hello there !
I've a big problem.
We actually use the open source edition which is installed on a test server. We have bought the Network Edition.
My problem is that I can't install the Network Edition on the same server and especially I can't keep the same IP and the same hostname. Both server have different IP (from different subnet) and different hostname that I can't change.
I've read many post that explain howto copy a zimbra setup with rsync but each time the most important think is to keep the IP and hostname.
Is there any solution to export mail, contact, calendar and preferences from the Open Source accounts to the Network Edition ??
Thanks all for your help

Horses and hauling elk go together like cookies and cream:
I am like Timberstalker, I have everything I need to do the job with me at all times. My Badlands 2200 will handle a quarter on the way out to either get the horses or get a friend. I don't like to let to many people know where I hunt, so sometimes it is just me or my hunting partner to get the work done. Most of the time by the time I get home and load horses I could have the meat out, so most of the time it comes out on my back.

Horses and hauling elk go together like cookies and cream:
This is one of those instances when the more the merrier come into play! Get help my man, packing out meat is never easy and being alone will make a hard task even harder. It can be done, but having at least a couple hands with you will make the pack out alot easier while being able to joke with your partners making the experience that much more memorable and enjoyable. It's like training for the hunt, sometimes you need your huntin buddy for that extra push of motivation! I hope you get the opportunity to pack out some meat on your back this fall WITH or without help!
[QUOTE=Bitterroot Bulls;22296]Horses and hauling elk go together like cookies and cream:
So how much beer will it cost me to get you to bring your horses down to bozeman this fall?
I started to hunt elk in the 50's with my dad. We always packed out the elk on our backs. Sometimes two elk when we had a good hunt. My dad passed away in the mid 80's, and i've hunted alone every since. I'm 69 now, and still pack out the meat alone. It's part of hunting for me.
I have no interest in antlers though. So, they stay at the kill.
With that said. My elk days are drawing to a close. I'll probably just hunt muley's from now on. Well......not this year. Maybe next year.
[QUOTE=Big Sky;22307]
That must of been an eventful morning, great pic.
Well we'll see what happens, im sure ill get some help. Ill be prepared either way for when I get my bull, there is no doubt in my mind a bull will fall from me this fall.
Well guys,
If I can help you out, I will.

May 31, 2016
Members of Northcrest Baptist Church in Meridian spent Wednesday evening collecting all sorts of supplies that residents in Hattiesburg can use to begin the rebuilding process.
Paper towels, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies will certainly be appreciated by those hit hardest by Sunday's night's powerful EF-4 tornado that left parts of Hattiesburg in ruins. A lot of people only had enough time to get to a safe spot and couldn't protect their belongings.
"If we could help with the clean up or if we can just feed people," Heather Mason says. "Whatever we can get."
Members of the church say it was God that led them to do this. They say they contacted some friends in Hattiesburg and then things came together really easily. That led to Wednesday night's drop off at the Northcrest gym where members of the community were able to drop off items that will come in handy.
"I've been on the other side of a situation like this," Mason points out "And to see the outpouring was amazing. And this time, I get to be on the side where I get to help."
Members of the church will be driving the items to Hattiesburg and tell Newscenter 11 they can't wait to see them in the hands of those who need them most. The church hopes it will be able to meet the needs of as many people as possible.

The Walking Dead
Why Andrea? We'll See Why It Was a "Good Decision" on The Walking Dead Season 4
Did you know that one original pitch for The Walking Dead Season 3 had Andrea surviving as the leader of Woodbury, opening the gates to everyone? Comic book writer/executive producer Robert Kirkman told The Hollywood Reporter that the idea was "definitely pitched." But, instead, they killed Andrea on the Season 3 finale, letting her get a walker bite from Milton.
According to Kirkman, the Andrea death idea was something ex-showrunner Glen Mazzara introduced in the writing of the last few episodes. "It's something that was debated quite a bit. There was a lot of opposition in the writers' room. I bounced back and forth between 'We really shouldn't killer her' and 'this is a good idea.' In the end it all came together and we decided to go for it. It was definitely something that divided the room to a certain extent."
Why did they decide to go with it, especially when Andrea is still alive in Kirkman's comic book series? "It's a big departure from the comics, which to a certain extent is somewhat risky but at the end of the day I like the idea of there being big differences that key in to this is the show, this is the comic," Kirkman said. "I like that there's some kind of separation there. It was definitely something that weighed upon us heavily. The unfortunate thing is that you're not really going to see why this was a good decision and good for the show until Season 4. We thought having that tragic end to her storyline — having [Andrea] work so hard to save these people of Woodbury and find a peaceful resolution to this conflict was really something worthy of the character. It's also something that changes Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) mindset and alters a lot of the characters and their modes of operation moving into the fourth season. It seemed like the right thing to do at the right time."
What do you think of the decision?

NCAA Chooses ISU for Regional Championship Events

More from Cyclones.tv
"Hosting championship events is an opportunity for us to showcase our institution and campus, the community and the athletics department," Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. "We have earned a reputation for putting on high-caliber collegiate championship events at Iowa State and the upcoming regionals are another chance for us to host a group of outstanding student-athletes and their fans in Ames."
The Iowa State gymnastics program will be hosting its second NCAA Regional in program history (2006). The Cyclones made the best of their hosting opportunity as Iowa State advanced to the NCAA Championships as a team by finishing second in the regional before advancing to the program's first "Super Six" appearance two weeks later.
November 2017 will mark Iowa State's third time hosting the NCAA Cross Country Regional, along with 1997 and 2013. Last month, the Iowa State women's cross country team claimed its fourth-straight Regional crown and the men's team saw Mohamed Hrezi qualify for the NCAA Championships as an individual.
While Iowa State's volleyball program missed out on further hosting opportunities, the Cyclones were excited to see UNI's bid to host the 2015 NCAA Regional Semifinals and Finals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines the NCAA accepted. It has been previously announced that Iowa State University will be hosting a 2014 NCAA Regional Semifinals and Finals in Hilton Coliseum next season.
Iowa State University has become a go-to host selection for the NCAA in recent years. Iowa State hosted the 2013 NCAA Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines to rave reviews. ISU has hosted numerous NCAA Women's Basketball Championships First and Second Rounds; 2008 at Wells Fargo Arena, 2010 and 2012 in Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State will host again this coming March in Ames.

The pursuit of happiness through the enjoyment of food is a centuries old human endeavor. Taste, texture, freshness and eye appeal are major contributors to such enjoyment, made possible in our modern lifestyle through the use of highly specialized ingredients known as food additives.
The broadest practical definition of a food additive is any substance that becomes part of a food product either directly or indirectly during some phase of processing, storage or packaging. Direct food additives, which are discussed in this publication, are those that have intentionally been included for a functional purpose by the food processor, whereas indirect additives are those migrating into food products in very small quantities as a result of growing, processing or packaging.
Food additives afford us the convenience and enjoyment of a wide variety of appetizing, nutritious, fresh, and palatable foods. Their quantities in food are small, yet their impact is great. Without additives, we would be unfortunately lacking in the abundant and varied foods that we enjoy today.

Pepper ball spices up a normal meal
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 04 May 1999 20:06
- Written by Kevin Legnon - Special to the Town Crier
Mr. Gadget
Gadget: The Pepper Ball by Chef'N.
How it works: The Pepper Ball is a round, plastic, hand-held pepper grinder that may be filled with test tubes of different blends of whole pepper.
The pepper is ground by squeezing together the Pepper Ball's two handles.
The ball comes in two sizes.
Store: Most gourmet cooking stores carry the Pepper Ball. I picked this one up at Macy's.
Cost: Under $15.
Overall: The Pepper Ball is easy to use and adds a more intense flavor to foods. You may add different pepper blends, such as a Cajun blend, to the Pepper Ball to spice up anything from salads and pastas to soups.
I like the ball's clear plastic design, which makes it easy to view what's inside.
The Pepper Ball may be used both on the dinner table or while you cook. And for the kosher kitchen, Chef'N also makes a Salt Ball.
The Pepper Ball may not be as decorative as some traditional hand-held pepper grinders, but its low cost is worth the investment.
-Legnon is a food aficionado who lives in Mountain View.

City Boy - The HangoverWritten by on January 4, 2012 Part 2 of our City Boy body hanging project; still cutting, welding, hammering, and fitting...
I ordered pizza 45 minutes ago and over my rumbling stomach, the only sound I can hear is Petey's hammer smashing--over and over again--on our poor Mustang's door panel. He's figured out a way to remove the inner doorskin metal without having to just leave it in and smash it flat, but that somehow still requires an amazing amount of hammering. He insists that it's the "right way" to do it, which means that's the only way we're going to do it, even at the cost of my sanity. In the grand scheme of things, this means we are still literally hammering away at the City Boy's bodywork, which you may have seen in a previous issue of your favorite magazine of all time (ahem, that's Circle Track). With our bumpers installed, we turned our attention to stripping our stock door panels and modifying the hatch to work out on the racetrack.
Of course, we've never actually been to the racetrack, so we're basically making this up on the fly, but light and loose wins races, so we're going with it. Thanks to our overbuilt but completely necessary NASCAR-inspired door bars, we knew that the stock door panels would never work, which meant some trimming was going to be in order. As you'll see, "some trimming" meant basically removing the entire door, leaving only the outer most doorskin. If you're cutting up your first race car along with us, it sounds like more work than it really is. Otherwise, if you're an old-school racer who has built more cars than I am years old, you know that it's always a bunch of fun to destroy stuff in the name of racing.
Along with the doorskin, we were also tasked with modifying the rear hatch of our Fox-body to eliminate the heavy factory glass and to creatively trim sections of the sheetmetal to drop some pounds and skirt some of the rules at our local tracks. Remember, when you're dealing with glass, please take it seriously. Precariously perching the hatch above an office dumpster and throwing old spark plugs and hammers at the glass until it breaks is not only irresponsible, but it is dangerous. If you can, it's best to get a local glass guy to come pull it out safely and doing so will save you the trouble of cleaning up shards of glass for days...ask us how we know.
Anyway, our pizza just got here and Pete finally stopped hammering, so I guess it is time to eat some food before I jump back behind the camera and watch Crew Chief Epple put the finishing touches on our door and hatch modifications. Follow along to see how it all goes together and make sure you send pictures of your first project to us dropping a quick email to email@example.com.

This month's victim: City Boy's doorskins. Really, we just needed the outer shells, which meant that everything else was just in our way.Track rules dictate that all flammable material must be removed from our car but that doesn't mean we can't repurpose the door panels for another project or sell them to help finance some of our racing.Why any OEM would rivet a window to the regulator is beyond us, but that's how it's done and removing the window requires drilling out these two rivets, along with another that is not shown here. However, we had another plan in mind.Along with the inner door structure, Pete also chopped the upper window structure off of the door panel, which will give us more room to get in and our of the car (in a hurry, in the case of an emergency) and it will save us a little weight.Understanding that the entire door was coming apart, Pete decided to leave the window and regulator in place and just cut the entire doorskin off as one piece. We (he) started here, along the rear most section of the door panel.Here you can really see how nice of a job the plasma cutter does with cutting the thin sheetmetal of our Mustang door. If you don't have access to a plasma cutter, don't worry; you could easily do this job with a body saw, Sawzall, or your air-powered cutting wheel of choice.
Yeah baby, now we're talking! Separated from the rest of the door structure, City Boy's outer doorskins looked great and weighed significantly less than the stock pieces. You can see how careful cutting kept the outer panel in great shape, which means it will look almost stock once reinstalled on our Mustang body.Any way you slice it (literally), you will still have to do some finish work to the skin before installing it back onto the car. Here, you can see the tools of the trade: a hammer, a couple of pry bars and some big muscley arms.Pete began the our door panel clean up by hammering the remaining metal flat, only to discover halfway through that it was possible to remove the offending metal from the door completely by hammering it up and away from the factory rolled lip.Otherwise, you end up with dangerous shards of glass everywhere and a hatch that could literally end up sending someone to the hospital. Please, do this the right way and save yourself a trip to the emergency room.A couple of quick tack welds and we were in business. From here, it is hard to tell anything was even done to the stock door, which is exactly what we were looking for. With our three vertical door bars hidden behind the stock sheetmetal, the City Boy is both safe and stylin'.OK, now that we can't get sued (please don't sue us, we don't have any money anyway!), let's show you the next step in the process. Breaking out the plasma cutter yet again, Pete began to cut across the back of our hatch, directly under the stock glass opening, to remove the complete rear glass frame as one piece.With both doors complete (OK, fine, we only had time to do one for this story…) Pete turned his attention to modifying the stock hatch from our Mustang body. Obviously the glass must be removed to go racing but Pete had even more cutting and modifying planned…
Which left us with this. If you squint, it almost looks like a regular trunk from a Mustang coupe, but ours is much lighter and leaves a large opening in the rear of the City Boy, which reduces weight and looks, well, ridiculous.The factory Mustang spoiler is fiberglass, which means we had to remove it for safety (fire hazard) and for aerodynamics. Not to say that the factory wing wouldn't help us out on a big track but we've got other plans in mind…Oh yeah, she's a real beauty with the modified hatch in place. Truth be told, it's actually quite hideous this way but it is lightweight, safe and fits within the track rules. Not to mention it will make for a fantastic start to our rear firewall, which you'll have to see come together in the next chapter of the City Boy saga.

my only tag this year. D13,, has anyone hunted this zone with success?
Now that is an honest thread title.
Never hunted CA myself.
u hunting with a rifle or bow
both,,,, haven't killed anything with my bow yet,
There are some areas right off the 5 North of Castaic that look real good. Never spent any time up there, so I don't know the statuses or season dates but for sure some good looking country! Deer trails all over some of the canyons... Good luck!
"This is A Way of Life"
I've yet to hunt D13 yet or backpack there yet. The Chumash Wilderness and Sespe Wilderness look like some big chunks to explore though. Best wishes to you Deerhunter 72.
It's not hunting but I've had good success Bass fishing in Castaic Lake just east of your zone in D13 years back that Graylight mentions. I caught more than a few there between 7-9 pounds. Not sure how the fishing is now but back in the day it held some giant monster bass there.
A D13 tag is also good in D11 and D15... good luck.
Looks like you don't need any help!

Deerhunter72....my brother and I are thinking of going to D13 this weekend...have you been out yet? Would love to hear about your trip, sign, deer? Thanks.

Everything You Need to KnowAbout the Bible's Most Important Stories.
"Tim Beal has written about the rich, thick connections between the Bible and popular culture . . . In a society of deep and dangerous disconnects, the connects of this book serve exceedingly well."
-Walter Brueggemann, author of The Prophetic Imagination
"With skill and insight, Timothy Beal has given us a great gift: a lucid and engaging introduction to the most important book ever published."
-Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion and editor of Newsweek
"No book has shaped more culture, value and meaning [than the Bible]. Beal skillfully retells key biblical narratives but also cogently relates them to significant events in history. This is a readable, informative and timely book."
-Harvey Cox, Hollis Research Professor of Divinity, Harvard University, and author of The Future of Faith
"For those who are approaching the Bible for the first time . . . there is no better place to turn than Timothy Beal's Biblical Literacy. Here you will find numerous gems of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, along with pithy, helpful, and at times even witty, introductions."
-Bart D. Ehrman, James A. Gray Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Caroline, Author of Jesus, Interrupted
"A fun and refreshing reference that gives a fresh look at Bible stories many people thought they knew."
-The News-Herald
"Beal, who compiled need-to-know Bible stories in his new book, Biblical Literacy, talks about how these Sunday school stories are ingrained in pop culture. They are making appearances at your dinner parties, in your favorite music and in a theater near you."
-Religion News Service
"Beal makes a case for reading, and yes, enjoying, the Bible."
-Interfaith Voices
"In his new book, Biblical Literacy, he introduces readers to key biblical passages and their cultural significance."
-United Methodist Reporter
"Beal… makes a well-stated case that a knowledge of the Bible is essential to understanding our culture. His book will serve as a handy first step toward that goal-- especially for the reader who may feel intimidated by 'the boring bits.'"

The abuse of prescription drugs is a growing problem across the country and right here in the east. It's being investigated as a possible factor in the death of Whitney Houston.
Here in the east, statistics show in 2009, Carteret County had the most prescriptions written in the east and the third highest in the entire state. Law enforcement says the abuse of prescription drugs is causing crime and doctors tell us they're also seeing an increase in patients requesting narcotic pain medications.
Kelsie Smith sat down with those on the front lines of the drug battle and one woman who says she became an addict after major surgery.
"I am the face of an addict," recovering addict Amy Taylor said.
It wasn't the life 35-year-old Taylor pictured for herself.
"I was a registered nurse. I knew better. Well, I should have known better," said Taylor.
It was back in 2006 Taylor says she had gastric bypass and then 6 follow-up surgeries within a 2-year period. Taylor says after every surgery she was prescribed opiates.
"Eventually as you take them you don't take them as prescribed and you take more than you should," said Taylor.
Taylor is not alone. Doctor Michael Towarnicky of Carolina East Medical Center says the last 10-15 years has seen an explosion in prescription drug abuse.
"What I've seen is an increasing number of patients coming in and requesting narcotic pain medications for chronic pain," said Doctor Michael Towarnicky.
Dr. Towarnicky says some patients have chronic pain, however, what he's running into on a regular basis is doctor shopping: people going to multiple doctors to get multiple prescriptions. That's how Taylor says she fed her addiction .
"Part of the insanity of being an addict is running around trying to remember who you saw last," said Taylor.
And lawmen say the desperation to get prescription drugs is getting worse in Carteret County. Sheriff Asa Buck says it's also increasing the crime rate.
"About half of our cases are legal drugs and then the other half of the cases we investigate and prosecute revolve around prescription medication and diversion of those prescription drugs," said Sheriff Buck.
This growing problem prompted the Carteret County Sheriff's Office to apply for a grant through the governor's crime commission to fund an investigator who would work solely on prescription drug diversion.
"The problem here is our problem and so we're working hard to try to do what we can to combat the drug problem in our county, illegal drugs and prescription drugs." said Sheriff Buck.
Sheriff Buck says part of the problem is the availability of prescription narcotics and other highly abused drugs like anxiety medication. In 2009 just in Carteret County, there was an average of 400,000 opiod dosage units dispensed each month. With statistics showing 26 people died from prescription drugs in 2009 in Carteret County, Sheriff Buck says this is a public health concern, and he advises people to keep their prescriptions in a locked or hidden place.
"It's not hard once you're in somebody's home. If you're there legally or if you break into someone's home and you're there illegally, it's not hard to find out where the drugs are," said Sheriff Buck.
In the meantime, addicts like Amy Taylor hope to win their own battle against prescription drugs. Taylor is currently 24 days clean - this time. She relapsed in November of last year after being sober since 2007.
"I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I know by the grace of God I have today," said Taylor.
Taylor is recovering at Hope Recovery Homes, Inc. In Morehead City. She is in a 180-day program and says although she is feeling well and taking one day at a time.
The Carteret County Sheriff's Office hopes to find out if it will receive the grant to fund an investigator position specifically for prescription drug diversion within about a month.

Reviews & Community
Great looking jersey
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This jersey fits true to size and has great ventilation. Good for those hot days. The Tinder ladies will definitely swipe right on you.
Wasatch Crest Spine
The Spine! Drop jersey keeping me cool.
Style for miles.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
This is a great jersey. I was skeptical at first because of the black color, but it turns out this thing is extremely well ventilated and handles the summer months with ease. The glasses cleaner sewn in is a great touch, and the stash pocket is great for an ID or other necessities. Fit is a bit smaller, happy i went with an XL!
Alpinestars Drop Jerseys are awesome !
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
The fit on the jerseys run a size smaller { example if you are XL ,go XXL }
Breath great, light weight .
Nice & cool in upper heat areas , dry quick
I Have a long sleeve version for early winter warm enough & not bulky.
Would buy again IMO.
As always, awesome products from Astars
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Jersey fit correctly.
Phone pocket is awesome. It has a little hole to route your headphones. Sorry to hear about your nipple issue Shreddy Mercury. Mine are fine incase you were wondering lol
Uncomfortable front seams
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
Be careful. The seams on the front rubbed against my nipples, which as you can imagine would be very uncomfortable on a long ride. I didn't get to use it on the trail because the rubbing bothered me so much. If the seams don't rub you on the wrong place, I can see this being a decent summer jersey if you don't mind the rubbing seam against your body.
I seem to be finding your 'review' everywhere that sells these things, which seems a little much.
Why did you elect to blast your nipple problem all over the internet, and which vendor did you actually purchase yours from?
I've only posted it here, which is where I purchased it from. So maybe someone is taking this original review and using it elsewhere. It didn't rub my nipples that bad where I needed to seek vengeance over the internet.
