Q. If I attend an event and the race is cancelled due to
weather conditions, what do I do?
A. Make sure you keep the ticket that you received at the entrance gates. That ticket is valued at the admission price for that and is your only proof of purchase. Keep it in a safe place, and you can use it at any US 131 MSP produced event during that year. If you purchased a race entry, you must keep the ticket that you received at the entrance gate. This is your raincheck. The ticket indicates the class, amount paid, date, time of purchase and further information regarding your paid entry. Keep it in a safe place, and you can use it at any US 131 event during that year. If you lose this ticket, you have lost your raincheck entry.
Q. Does US 131 MSP accept credit cards?
A. Yes, US 131 MSP accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover.
Q. Does US 131 MSP have an ATM?
A. Yes there are ATM's located on each side the drag strip next to the concessions buildings.
Q. Where can I buy tickets for events?
A. All major events can be purchased onsite or through our website. All event tickets are sold the day of the event at the ticket booths.
Q. May I exit the park and return?
A. You may exit the park and return if you have a ticket or armband and hand stamp. You must get your hand stamped as you exit for re-entry. Please be sure to have all credentials with you at the time you exit. You must re-enter through the ticket booths.
Q. Does the park have a concession?
A. The US 131 Grill is open during every event and serves delicious hot food and cold drinks.
Q. I have children attending an event with me, do I have
to pay for them?
A. Children under 6 are always admitted free. Select events have an admission fee for children 6-11. Please check the event flyer or the special event schedule on this website for actual pricing. This policy is up to the ticket sellers discretion. If you have a child that looks older than he/she actually is, you can bring an ID card that shows their date of birth (i.e. minor identification card, birth certificate, etc.).
Q. Can I bring alcohol to the raceway?
A. No outside alcohol is permitted into US 131 MSP's licensed property. This is law governed by the State of Michigan.
Q. What is US 131 MSP's policy on coolers?
A. US 131 MSP has a NO Cooler policy in its grandstands. All coolers must remain in your car. Absolutely no alcoholic beverages are permitted.
Q. Can spectators bring in motorized transportation?
A. No ATV's, Scooters or Golf Carts are permitted to come in from the spectator parking areas. This policy is strictly enforced for your safety and the safety of other guests, children, racers and their personal property.
Q. Does US 131 MSP utilize the AutoStart
A. YES! The AutoStart system is incorporated into every class that is run at US 131 MSP, from Test & Tune to Top ET. This system starts the tree automatically when the timing system senses two fully staged vehicles so the starter can concentrate more on the track and conditions of the race. Here's how it works: when the system sees both cars prestaged and ONE of the cars staged, it starts a timer (actual length of timer is class specific, please inquire with the tower for the timer length in your particular class). If the second car does not enter the staging beams within the timer's parameters, a redlight is activated for that car. This redlight will NOT be negotiated under any circumstance. Remember, the system needs to see three lights before it starts the timer - two prestages and a stage. Don't try to burn down your opponent.
Q. Does US 131 MSP have a radio station?
A. Yes, it's 102.5 FM. You can hear everything that is going on right from your radio on the track property.
Q. Are pets allowed at US 131 MSP?
A. Yes, pets are allowed at US 131 MSP. There are only a few restrictions regarding your pet. Pets are not allowed in restricted areas or in the grandstands. Under no circumstances may you release your pet from its leash. You must supervise your pet at all times - no leaving it unattended. Your pet CANNOT show aggression in any way towards other pets, people, children or personal property. Any aggression whatsoever will require the removal of your pet from the track property immediately.
Q. If I need fuel can I get it at the track?
A. Yes, we sell a wide variety of VP Race Fuels at US 131 MSP - click here for current types and prices.
Q. I need to ship a package to a racer during an event.
What do I do?
A. All you need to do is address the package as follows:
US 131 Motorsports Park
Attn: [INSERT RACER NAME HERE] - Racer
1249 12th Street
Martin, MI 49070
All racer shipments received are logged in on a tracking list. The racer must then present a photo I.D. and sign for their package.
Q. Does US 131 MSP have a scale to weigh my car?
A. Yes, we have a permanent scale on the pit side of the facility located by the ET shack as you come off the drag strip that you are welcome to use at any event at no cost.

You would buy a race ticket at the ticket booth the day of the event. These fees vary according to event. Please check event page and/or schedule for pricing of the event you are interested in. After purchasing a race ticket you need to fill out the tech card fully. Please take car, tech card and ticket to tech which is located at the north end of the drag strip next to the ET shack. If you are 16 years old you will need your parents to sign a waiver for you to race. This must be done in person with valid ID in front of a track official.

Now, about the comfort.....oh my. what can I say? The explaination given is exactly right...it starts to mold to your foot immediately and is the MOST comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I have plantar faciitis. It hurts really, really bad and I bought $400 inserts that do help. However, I could have bought a lot of Fly Flots and been better off. The inserts are fine, but the shoes are great.
I talked my Mom into buying a pair last year. She has NEVER bought 2 pair that match...until now. We went back because she was afraid that the company would quit making them and she wanted to make sure she had a new pair. We usually have both pair sitting around. That's not a problem though. Mine feel nothing like hers. I am now looking for something for winter. I look forward to walking.
Thank you for taking the trouble to make a quality product that is everything you advertise and more. HAPPY FEET!
Keep up the good work!

Northern ExposureWritten by on May 1, 2002 The 53rd Annual Grand National Roadster Show
Every winter for 53 years the best of the best have gathered in Northern California to determine the finest roadster in the land. Of course, the Grand National Roadster Show isnt exclusively for roadsters; there are also plenty of closed hot rods, as well a good showing of customs. This year was no exception.
The show has been altered here and there over the past few years, most notably in its venue. The Oakland Coliseum was its home for decades, but now the show is housed in the San Mateo County Expo Center. Another change that was new for this year involved the handling of the Americas Most Beautiful Roadster award.
This year, for the first time, the AMBR had its own class. In previous years, all roadsters in attendance would be considered as long as they fit the criteria (37-or-earlier model, one resembling such a model, one without roll-up windows, and so on), including roadster pickups and phaetons. The criteria remains the same, but now a vehicle must be entered specifically in the AMBR class to be considered for the big trophy. The brass behind the GNRS felt that there needed to be a way for all of the contenders to achieve some form of recognition. Of the 14 entrants this year, there was one AMBR winner and 13 runners-up, so to speak. It keeps the other entrants, most featuring outstanding craftsmanship, from remaining anonymous.
One of the other noted honors given is the Builder of the Year award. This years recipient was Steves Auto Restoration, and owner Steve Frisbie accepted the accolade. There were a number of SAR creations on hand for viewing, including the debut of an AMBR contender known as The Barona 37 Ford phaeton originally constructed by Ford of Germany. Frisbie also took the opportunity to debut another SAR creation, the Double Dozen, along with designer Chris Ito. In the near future, these designer roadsters will be handbuilt in extremely limited quantities.
The hosts for the 53rd Annual were Dan and Charlene Cyr and, as usual, they put on an enjoyable event. If you missed it, swing by www.hotrodshows. com on the Internet to see when one of their other productions is coming to your town.

Steve Frisbie took the Builder of the Year award and debuted his latest creation, the Double Dozen, designed with Chris Ito. A scale model was unveiled, and those in attendance were suitably awed. The cars will be handbuilt, and there will be 12 with fenders and 12 without. Steve explained that the cars will be delivered as rollers in bare steel. He expects the first to be completed some time in late spring.Another SAR offering unveiled at the GNRS—this one in fullsize scale—was The Baron, a '37 German Ford Phaeton. The car, owned by Bill Bauce, featured a two-door phaeton body originally built back in 1937 by Karl Deutsch Karosserie of Koeln, Germany. The car uses a U.S. Ford chassis and fenders, and the package was extensively massaged by SAR.John D'Agostino is a regular at the Roadster Show and usually present with a couple customs on display. This year, he showed the Caribbean, a '56 Packard with extensive modifications. Oz's Kustoms in Oroville, California, handled all of the metal work, including the chop, channel, and section job, as well as the Carson-style top. Marcos Garcia of Lucky 7 Customs in Antioch, California, laid down the House of Kolor hues, and Bob Divine of Martinez, California, stitched the leather interior. Watch for an upcoming feature.Another connoisseur of classic customs is Richard Zocchi, who has been showing at the GNRS for years. This time, his '59 Plymouth Fury was there to grab some attention. The Plymouth was quite slick and right on the ground.Another AMBR competitor was this stunning track-nose roadster designed and owned by Larry Erickson. It began as an Experi-Metal '32 Chevy body and was then massaged and mated with the custom steel hood and nose. It runs a small-block Chevy with a front-mounted Potvin blower and a set of one-off Coddington wheels with a strong nostalgia flavor.Although many of the vehicles displayed at the GNRS are from the West Coast, the show draws entries from around the globe. These two cars came all the way from England to be part of the So-Cal Speed Shop display. The roadster belongs to Lee Pike, while Pete Tyas lays claim to the coupe.Despite the traditional air, modern creations are also part of the GNRS mix. This radical '60 Ford Starliner belongs to Richard Mattioli and was built by Sam Foose after Chip Foose penned it. It runs a Ford Racing 460 with a Richmond Gear six-speed.A VW at the roadster show is somewhat unusual, but this '64 Bug, owned by Fred Hidalgo, chief designer for So-Cal Speed Shop, was built with help from Jimmy Shine and the Kennedy Brothers. It runs VW power but features an early Ford front axle and suspension with Sprint Car–style steering. The radical chop and louvered body panels help endear it to traditional rodders.
Not everything at the roadster show is pretty. This creation from Guido Brenner is a work in progress, and was inspired by a Hot Wheels car. The big inline engine (a '33 Chrysler 8) and arch-backed tub ('19 Studebaker) retain the vibe of the scale original. All it needs is the spiked-helmet top.

A seven inch crocheted bunny with a jingle rattle locked inside. Fits into little hands and soft enough for baby to use with safety, even little babies who typically have jerky hand movements until they gain greater control. Use this with new babies for tracking games. The sound is not startling. There is also a black and white cow, a pink and white piggy and others that are pretty adorable. This is one of a line of stylish products done in Peru at a workshop for women. They are made of 100% cotton and filled with poly and machine washable.

Read on to hear how some of Nat and Meaghan's budget breakdown and some terribly helpful tips. Please keep in mind prices do change and this is just a rough estimate so you can see what a wedding like this might cost you.
1. Would I have done anything differently?
One thing I had not planned on doing was changing out of my dress during the reception. It was very muggy and my dress, strapless, was having a hard time staying in place. I had packed a sundress in my overnight bag - nothing special, which I ended up wearing for the remainder of the celebration. As my husband and I are pretty casual people, I was not too worried about it. I was much more comfortable and it was the natural thing to do given the circumstances. If you are a bride with a strapless dress who likes to dance as much as I do, I would definitely recommend planning ahead and bringing a second dress just in case, and, depending on your budget, it doesn't need to be fancy. I was comfortable and had the time of my life.
2. Budget Breakdown
After knowing our venue would be free, we knew we could spend a little more on photography and outdoor lighting in addition to choosing our own providers for catering and rentals. We were able to pool our resources with friends to get great deals on decor, music, beverages, dessert, and accommodations.
Guests Count: 200
Venue and Reception: Free (family member's home)
Accommodations: Free + $100 for breakfast
We pitched tents and camped out after the wedding with some of our guests, which made for an amazing night as well as a safe alternative to driving home late on country roads. We provided breakfast for everyone the next morning and spent around $100. <---- steal worthy idea
Venue & Food
Outdoor lighting: $800
300 feet of bistro lights and 750 feet of battery-operated twinkle lights found on Amazon
Rentals: $1,790
A to Z Party Rentals: Tables, chairs, linens, plates (dinner & dessert), dessert forks, water glasses, wine glasses, glass water dispensers
Catering: $1,987
Wooden Nickel Catering & a private business: Kettle Chips for the cocktail hour and pulled pork and portobello mushroom sliders and an elaborate fruit and vegetable display for dinner. Family and friends provided assorted pies for dessert.
Beverages: $350
We purchased kegs from Gilgamesh Brewing and sparkling cider while a family friend provided the wine from his vineyard.
Dance Floor: borrowed Persian rug
Flowers & Décor
Flowers: $350
Bride's Bouquet: White hydrangea, ranunculus and baby's breath with burlap and twine
Bride's flower crown: Baby's breath
Bridesmaid Bouquets: Baby's breath with burlap and twine
Boutonnières: Succulents and rosemary sprigs with twine
Reception Décor: $200
(Borrowed from friends and purchased from thrift stores and Goodwill)
Vases and other vessels: Brass, silver, glass and milk glass
Candlesticks: brass
Picture frames: mixed metal
Flowers: Succulents and baby's breath
Guestbook: Vintage post cards
Other décor items: brass pheasants and quail, silver goblets, and vintage toasting glasses for bride and groom
DIY Décor
Pie Plates: Around $5 each
Second hand plates and large brass candlesticks glued together and arranged for varying heights
Tea light candle-holders: Free
Drilled birch branches of varying sizes and shapes
Table runners: $60
Instead of purchasing bolts of lace fabric, I saved a lot of money by purchasing lace curtains from goodwill. We ironed them and then measured and cut them to size. This took around 3 hours and we had enough for 272 feet, which was perfect for 34 six-foot tables.

This is the first edition in a weekly series based on what I've been reading on the internets.
You see, I read a ton of blogs (205 on my Feedly reader at present), websites and other items through the week.
It's part of my rather-disturbing addiction to news and information that has developed only in the past couple of years, largely thanks to Twitter. And I do pass along many links there.
Picking up and reading the blog of my KIRO 7 colleague and friend Paul Balcerak, I've gotten turned onto Instapaper. That's a website that is self-described as a "simple tool for saving web pages for reading later."
(Apparently Pinterest is good too, but I've been waiting on an invite for what seems like an eternity.)
So with this brand-new personal website and blog thing I'm slowly working on, I thought it'd be a good place to list the best-of-the-best of what I've come across in my week. There is a lot of great material from talented people and organizations out there.
It won't be a long list from me… maybe five, perhaps as many as ten. The articles won't be that long either (however my descriptions probably will).
The plan is to send along every Sunday and clear out the Instapaper queue for more. Send me your best in return!-MP
At long last, here's installment numero uno (topics from wide receivers to wasps):
1. Positively the easiest way to spot 12 men on the field
If you thought you were getting every conceivable television angle of Sunday's games, think again!
There is one camera shot the NFL absolutely does not want you to see, says The Wall Street Journal.
Is it just me, or does that sound like a magician who would just prefer you kindly not videotape the performance!
2. Facebook is not a blog!
Kelly Clay (via Lockergnome) implores you: Don't be a Facebook blogger!
Now, I love Twitter (and to a much-lesser extent, Facebook), but we agree: please use it as a really, really"TinyURL" for all your thoughts and emotions.
As Clay also points out, for serious bloggers and especially brands, putting your blog on a site you don't run might, just might, become a bit sticky later on.
3. "When death feels like a good option"
In the TV weather world, we lost another wonderful talent this week: Don Harman of Fox 4 in Kansas City. Struggling with depression, according to his family, he took his own life on Tuesday.
Watch "Don's Family Shares His Fight with Depression" from WDAF Fox 4
They say television is a small world, where no one is more than two degrees separated from everyone else. The TV weather business is even much smaller than that.
Harman's suicide reverberated around our very small world, as did the 2007 death of John Winter of WFLA in Tampa who was also struggling with depression.
Well-known Seattle entrepreneur Ben Huh of the Cheezburger network recounts his darkest days in an early-week article from the Seattle P-I.com.
4. Stunning St. Helens
Ben's words are encouraging, so please take a moment and a deep breath to reflect on his words and nature's beauty.
The incredibly stunning photograph was taken of lightning near Mount St. Helens earlier this year.
5. Lots I didn't know about campaigns
With the "suspension" of Herman Cain's candidacy Saturday, I heard some cable news chatter about the chance he could get back in the race at some point. I thought, "Not if he's going to endorse someone, he can't!"
NBC/MSNBC's Domenico Montanaro explains it has a lot to do with debt, among some other things.
And, did you know that Hillary Clinton is still technically a candidate for president?
6. "John, I'll take the wasp in the center square for the block."
I've killed my share of wasps and yellowjackets over time, and it's not something I'm proud of. In my old-er age, I realize they are beneficial, and will probably just leave me alone.
Still, the paper wasp's sting ranks as a 3.0 on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, which places it between the red harvester ant and tarantula hawk. A 3.0 is described as "like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut."
Now in even better news: THESE WASPS KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Or at least, they can recognize the faces of other wasps.
I would assume they could then probably figure us out.
Look at those faces.
Now, by all means, you have very pleasant dreams tonight.
Those nine wasps playing Hollywood Squares know exactly what you did with that can of Hot Shot at the house next door.
As for me, I really don't want to meet the nice-looking wasp in the top center square. You know, the one next to Jim J. Bullock.

Words To Live By (Or Without)
In an interview she gave to the Daily Mail this weekend, Drew Barrymore was asked about the lack of good movie roles for women over 40. Drew opined:
'I admit I've been fortunate. I'm not at that place yet, age-wise, and maybe when I am I'll feel that way. But I think, "Get over it! Don't be bitter and complainy! Figure out something else to do with your life." It sucks that it's sexist, and it sucks that it's not often the case for men, but you don't have to sit on the couch and be angry that you're not getting roles.
"Bitter" is a favorite put-down for Drew. Elsewhere in the interview, she observes "I just find bitter people really un-fun, you know." Got that? Women who protest ageism and objectification in Hollywood are just "bitter", "complainy" and need to "get over it." It's the trifecta of chauvinist dismissal! Thanks, Drew!
In a Jezebel comment thread about the interview, a commenter observed: "I feel about the word "bitter" much the same way I feel about the world "nag." Another chimed in: Yes, and "shrill". Not my favorite words.
Sing it, sisters! After reading the Rupert Myers op-ed yesterday, I'll add: "indignant" to the list, as in "indignant feminists." It's such a drag when people—read: women—are indignant, bitter, shrill or nagging! Why can't we just shut up and accept the way things are?
Any loaded words/phrases you bitter harpies would like to be shrill, indignant or complainy about? Nag away in the comments….

Hrezi Taking the Long Road at Iowa State
AMES, Iowa – When Mohamed Hrezi came to Iowa State two years ago from Central Connecticut State, he knew he was probably done running the 800 meters. However, he never thought he'd be competing at this week's NCAA West Track and Field Regional in Austin, Texas in the 5,000 and 10,000-meter runs.
Hrezi will run the 10,000-meters on Thursday at 9:40 p.m. CDT, and will run the 5,000 meters on Saturday at 8:45 p.m. in Mike A. Meyers Stadium.
"When I transferred here (Head Coach Corey Ihmels) told me, 'your 800 days are over,' so I knew that coming in," Hrezi said. "I thought I was going to be a 1,500-meter guy."
For a time, he was correct. Hrezi ran the 1,500 and 3,000-meter race during the 2011-2012 season, which included second-place finish in the 1,500 at the Jim Duncan Invitational with a time of 3:47.31. Ihmels said that initially the coaching staff had no intentions of making Hrezi into a runner of longer distances.
"I think it started just in conversation, we were kind of giving him a hard time about maybe being a 10k runner," Ihmels said. "Before we knew it, we were actually seriously thinking about it and talking about it. I think when you have somebody on your team that is a 1:46 guy in the 800 in Edward Kemboi, you kind of realize quickly that maybe that's not your best event."
Ihmels added that once Hrezi had decided to he was going to be running the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, he had to be committed to increasing his training and his mileage. To do this, the junior ran his first-ever season of college cross country in which he won the Cyclone Classic and had a top-20 finish at the Big 12 Championships.
"He really took to the mileage and had a huge block of training," Ihmels said. "I think it was just a matter of getting him convinced that he was capable of putting in the work to run the 10k."
Hrezi also made the decision to redshirt the 2012-13 indoor season in an effort to prepare himself for the outdoor campaign.
"It was just more of everything," Hrezi said of how he changed his training regimen. "I had to wake up every morning just knowing that I had to do 20 or 26 miles that day and just get through it. That's opposed to when I was an 800 runner where I could just do a five-mile run."
The Naugatuck, Conn. native has seen his hard work payoff this season, as he earned All-Big 12 honors with a fifth-place finish in his first 10,000-meter race with a time of 29:25.17 at the Big 12 Championships. He also took sixth-place in the 5,000-meter race at the Big 12 Championships.
"He stuck his nose in at the conference meet and I think his next 10k will be better than his first," Ihmels said. "He just needs to run like he did at the conference meet. If he puts himself out there and gets in the mix, I think it will come down to getting one of those spots to get to the next level (the NCAA Championships)."
Hrezi will need to place in the top-12 of the field in Austin, Texas this week to advance to the NCAA meet June 5-8 in Eugene, Ore.
"The field is so close that I feel like I can get in if I'm in the race," Hrezi said. "I feel like I will have enough speed if I can hang on until the end. My first 10k ever, I went out really hard and if I can just do that again and just hold on to top-12, I'll be in nationals."

we are a 5 piece rock band called as night dies www.asnightdies.com and we are looking for someone to design a logo/artwork that we could use across our webpage, merch and recordings. We are heading into the studio next month so we'd ideally want to have something ready by Christmas that could be printed up.
We don't want something too 'involved' just something that will look sick when its printed on a T-shirt.
We'd be stoked if you would get in touch. Our budget is minimal so ideally we'd be looking for someone who would work for seeds and beer but all prices are negotiable so get in touch.

Hi guys,
I have a question concerning Zimbra and specially about the meta-data of an e-mail.
I would like to send an e-mail to a user and make that e-mail already read. I saw in a presentation paper that meta-datas of e-mails are separated from the e-mail content, is there a way to change the read/notread status from an e-mail in the database ?
Thank you,

Community Spoilers: More "Heart," Less Chevy Chase on Season 4 — But Will There Be a Season 5?
Chevy Chase is now on permanent "vacation" (sorry!) from NBC's Community, but he'll still appear in several episodes when Season 4 premieres on February 7.
During the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said there would be few changes to Community under its new showrunners. "I don't know that I'm the Community expert, but I think you're going to see relatively the same show that you have seen before," he said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "There is a little bit more heart built into it, but we didn't fundamentally change it."
Chevy was vocal about his frustrations with his character, Pierce, but how will his departure affect the show? "Actors come and go on a lot of shows and this is a big ensemble," Greenblatt said. "I don't think that's in any way going to be a big negative about the future of the show. He's in everything but two episodes."
Speaking of the future, the exec said it was "absolutely" possible that Community could continue into Season 5. "I'm always hopeful for a show to continue. We co-own it and I'd love nothing more than to see it continue."
That's a good sign. Are you excited for the future of Community, or wary about the changes?

Does your reflector give "refractor like" images?
Posted 02 April 2013 - 05:31 AM
Posted 02 April 2013 - 06:11 AM
I think the short answer is longer focus reflectors can give refractor like images but you still kno you re looking through a reflector. Thermal cooling is needed and if you want to be a stickler, so are curved spiders. There's some contention here but I don't think any reflector will ever be the equivalent of a good apo of like sized aperture in the sizes commercially available.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 06:36 AM
The one thing that refractors tend to do very well that reflectors can't is show really bright objects against a pure velvet black background. In a reflector, you are going to have some type of diffracton effect (an even glow from the CO, plus spikes from a straight spider or more even glow from a curved spider).
I can get that "refractor-like" look on things like M13, because the diffraction is faint enough that I can't see it. But on Venus, Jupiter, Sirius, or the moon reflectors can't quite get that razor sharp blackness.
That being said, the extra aperture does let a good reflector show more detail than a refractor. So yes, Jupiter throws some glow around it in my 14.5" that isn't there in my 4" apo, but there is no comparison in the amount of low-contrast surface detail on the planet itself - the 14.5" blows the small apo away.

Does refractor-like mean large Airy disks with a healthy dose of field curvature and maybe even some chromatic aberration? Does it mean relatively small exit pupils and relatively slow focal ratios?
Or does "refractor-like" mean a essentially perfect view, one free of field curvature, coma, astigmatism, chromatic aberration, with Airy Disks that are impossibly small?
I think under the right circumstances, essentially perfect views are possible with a Newtonian, I think most refractors do not give "refractor-like" views. Even the NP-101 with it's seemingly perfect color correction and flat field is too underpowered.
In terms of perfect views, I think a 12.5 inch F/6 tube Newtonian in the mild San Diego climate fitted with good fans and a careful observer does a good job... The 31mm Nagler + Paracorr + 12.5 inch F/6 + dark skies... clean and sharp across the FOV, no field curvature... coma undetectable. Contrast... can be amazing.
I no longer use the term "refractor-like" because refractors have their own set of aberrations and most are underpowered. I use "near-perfect" to describe those pristine, totally amazing views..
Most scopes are able to produce near perfect views of some set of objects and are not so hot on others.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 10:17 AM
In all seriousness all three of my reflector scopes give great views. To achieve this you need good optics to reduce light scatter for a black background, solid collimation, and thermal control. At that point only the atmosphere will limit your views.

I am second to none in my love for refractors and own both an AP130 and AP160, but the latter is mainly used as an imaging instrument these days. I now use my refractors as much for their "grab and go" convenience as I do for the aesthetics of the views.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 11:08 AM
Some time soon, I will prove my point, period.
And judging from the bashing I got on the Refractor Forum a while back, no APO owner will ever admit it.
I do concede that an ordinary Newt, as currently envisioned, cannot equal an equal aperture APO. It just ain't gonna happen! And comparing a large Newt to a small APO is comparing apples to oranges.
As usual, I will add no further comments to this thread; I have work to do.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 11:41 AM

I will very much look forward to this, Ed!
That's my impression of what is typically being compared, and i'd agree that, with some effort, one can get fairly close with a Newtonian. My Starsplitter Dob does a fairly good job at this, generally putting a nice point to stars!
If in terms of "refractor like" one means tight pin-point stars against black with a high degree of contrast with no scatter or softness...
But i sometimes observe with a fellow who owns an AP155, and IT has the "refractor-like views" that are being discussed here! So the view aesthetic in each system is going to be different... and "different" doesn't mean bad. Just different. As Jon has said, a Newtonian isn't aimed so much at achieving a "refractor-like" aesthetic- why would it be? That's not where it works best. It's designed to collect more photons in a manageable & affordable package. The goal is to let it do so, while optimizing it's system... let the views become what they are, naturally.
I s'pose, if one were inclined to do so, one could always fit an aperture mask on their Newt- bypassing the CO & vanes so as to obtain the almighty "refractor-like" views. But then ya got a 4" scope.
When seeing conditions (ground & aloft) are poor, the "refractor-like" abilities of a larger Dob are not gonna be there- oh yeah, it'll still go deeper & resolve (most things) finer than a smaller Apo, in general, but you will KNOW you're looking thru a reflector... by the aesthetics (or lack thereof, if you will ) of the view.
There are objects & conditions i've seen where the fine planetary detail (Jupiter is a good example) is better portrayed in the Apo, yet more often i've seen where the Dob's view of Jupiter is at least equally detailed to the Apo's, while also bigger & brighter.
But when the air is good- in/around the Dob, as well as above it- even the view's aesthetics can be mighty close. And what can be seen & resolved... not close at all; the Dob just walks off with it... especially on deepsky.

Posted 02 April 2013 - 01:55 PM
The problem is spherical lens surfaces are not that hard to mass produce. The parabolic surface is Harder to have perfect .
True, a spherical lens surface can be machine finished, to a certain degree. But there is more to a lens than a single spherical surface. As a minimum there are four surfaces, two thicknesses and wedge errors, one air space, and four close tolerance radii to be controlled. All of these are interdependant to a point and so the final overall precision may actually be more difficult than a single parabolic mirror surface.
The fact is, if you want top notch performance from either a lens or a mirror, you need a qualified optician to provide the final touches.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 03:22 PM
I disagree with the statement that no Newt can equal an equal aperture APO. But it will take a lot of very creative thinking and some hard work to do the job.

I'm interesed to see what you come up with Ed. I've appreciated your convictions here. I'd like to see what you've got in mind.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 04:12 PM
I think one of the main reasons people think that refractors are a step above newts is that they have better thermal management properties by design. The light path is protected from the observers body heat and the light only goes through the tube once. This in addition to the fact that most refractors are smaller apertures make for more steadily stable images so much more often than in newts.
Do you how you can tell a reflector owner is about to say "refractor like" image? He carefully looks over each shoulder first
But seriously, you hit one of the main weaknesses of the reflector - heat. The primary mirror sits close to the ground, where there is (typically) a sharp temperature gradient. And the light path traverses that gradient twice.
Add to this the refractor objective is usually spherical and probably much smoother than the parabola required of the Newtonian. One look through a Schiefspiegler, an all-spherical reflector design, will make you a believer in spherical surfaces.
While the spider vanes and central obstruction get lots of blame (much deserved), I have found that looking at fainter open clusters can effectively subtract that from the equation. The diffraction is still there, but too faint to register. On this type of target you can get a lot better comparison to a refractor.

I am curious on this topic as I sometimes see that claim by scope makers. I am especially curious as to honest opinions regarding the <f/4 large dobs. We all know you get a brighter image and can see more, but does anyone feel that you get as crisp an image as an APO?
Such comparisons can sometimes become a little pointless if you let them go on long enough. You can't really compare a large aperture f/4 Dob to a small apochromat for a variety of reasons. Even the largest Apochromats are not readily available in apertures larger than 10 inches (and most that are often mentioned are in the three to six inch aperture range). In an old "rant" I once posted about some of the so-called 'debates' concerning this on sci.astro.amateur many years ago, I wrote:
"I recall one late summer evening in 1990, when a friend of mine brought his 6 inch APO to our annual picnic and star party. I almost drooled over the view it gave of Saturn sitting in the rich starfields of Sagittarius, with its dark wide field and image of the planet which was so sharp you could "cut your eye" eye on it. I looked with my 10 inch (which was just settling down after being set up), and the image didn't seem to have quite the quality of my friend's APO (slightly more scattered light and a slightly woolly appearance). Later, I again viewed Saturn in an old Criterion RV-6 Newtonian, and was surprised how good the image was (quite comparable to the APO). The APO clearly had a bit of an edge on performance, but considering the cost of the APO, I felt that the RV-6 owner got the "better" of the deal. Later on, I again looked at Saturn with my ten inch at 300x, and the seeing was perfect, showing a bit more detail than the APO did, although the view in the 6 inch APO was extremely pleasing, with incredible sharpness and contrast (and an incredible price tag too). Years later during one of the "Mars" opposition events at Hyde Observatory, I had a nice time showing the public Mars in my 10 inch Newtonian. Another friend had his five inch APO running not far away, so during a brief break, I went over to look at Mars in his scope, It was a very nice view, but as expected, my 10 inch showed more detail on the planet and showed it more easily. My ten also went fainter than the two smaller APOs did on galaxies, so once again, the larger aperture won."
My 10 and 14 inch reflectors each give very very good images, as I have optimized their optical quality as much as possible. I have seen things with them that I have NEVER seen in my 100mm refractor (or even in a four to six inch apochromat). One night last year in my 14 inch f/4.6 Newtonian, I got a view of Jupiter that to this day I have not seen equaled in my observing experience using my equipment, with incredible sharpness and detail (especially considering I was using a binoviewer much of the time). In my case (as with many others), the simple fact is that Aperture Rules (and, of course, optical quality). Other than that, I don't worry about all these so-called "comparisons" and just worry about getting out to actually use all this equipment that I have acquired over the years. In the end, observing is the single more important thing to consider when it comes to this hobby. Clear skies to you.

Hydrangeas really are some of the most worthwhile garden plants. Not only are they easy to care for, but they also flower for months on end; from the middle of summer right through into autumn. Once flowering has finished, they even can be cut for use as indoor dried flowers. Their showy blooms come in shades of white, through cream and pink to mauve and blue, with some gorgeous subtle greens thrown in for good measure! They have many different flower forms, from dainty 'lacecap' varieties to the huge, football-sized flowers of 'Strong Annabelle'. There's bound to be one just right for you!

Butterfly farm to spread its wings
Encinitas vivarium will close June 23 and relocate to a new, bigger location in Vista this summer
ENCINITAS In butterfly terminology, The Monarch Program is just about ready for its chrysalis stage.
The 21-year-old butterfly vivarium in Encinitas will close its doors on Sunday, June 23, so it can metamorphose over the next few months into an expanded, state-of-the-art education center, hatchery and garden, about 12 miles away in Vista.
For founder and director David Marriott, the transformation is long overdue.
"I just can't wait to get over to the new location. It's really exciting what we'll be doing there and the potential for growth is enormous," said Marriott, 61, a self-trained lepidopterist with a doctorate in musicology. He founded the nonprofit Monarch Program in 1990, and a year later, opened the small butterfly farm and classroom on the grounds of a nursery on Ocean View Avenue.
Although the price for the space was right — Marriott's benevolent landlord John Renaker, 98, has never charged rent — the location is less than ideal for the educational programs Marriott offers (grade school classes visit virtually every weekday from April through mid-November). The nursery is on a residential street with no parking and the only signage is a piece of cardboard with the word "butterflies" and an arrow scrawled on it.
It has also become less inviting for the monarchs and the eight to 10 other butterfly species Marriott raises on the property. The roof of the greenhouse where he grows "host" plants that the butterflies use for feeding and egg-laying has collapsed, and he can't spray the invading pests (aphids, thrips and leaf miners) because pesticides would kill the butterflies. Also, the tall trees that have grown up around the property now block much of the sunlight that the butterflies need to thrive and reproduce.
On Monday, Marriott walked around the decaying butterfly aviary — a 1,200-square-foot screened-in garden — and talked about its early days with wistful reverie.
"When we opened this back in the '90s, it was really something. People loved it. They'd never seen anything like it," he said. "But it's gotten old and funky."
Pam Hernandez, a first-grade teacher at Conway Elementary School in Escondido, has been bringing school groups to the Monarch Program every year since about 1994. Students sit through a video and oral presentation, then go into the vivarium where they can feed watermelon to the butterflies, hold caterpillars and sometimes see a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
"I don't think we've ever gone and not had a butterfly land on one of the children," Hernandez said. "It's very hands-on, short, simple and sweet, and it really helps the kids get up close to learn about butterflies."
Marriott first collected butterflies as a boy. He returned to the hobby in 1984 when his son turned 4. "We got him a net and we would go out together to net butterflies. But before long I was the one running ahead of him to catch the butterflies and he eventually lost interest."
Marriott began studying and teaching about the migration of monarchs from the Western U.S. to Mexico, and as public interest grew, he launched The Monarch Program. Operating on a shoestring budget of just $33,000 a year, the Monarch Program offers education programs and tours, tags and tracks monarch migration (each released butterfly has a tiny sticker folded over one wing bearing an 800 number for trackers to call), and it has a bustling hatchery.
Each week, Marriott sells about 100 monarch chrysalises to customers such as the Natural History Museum of L.A. County and San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers. He also hatches another 50 or so monarchs in the vivarium so visitors can see the insects in every stage of their development (from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly in about 5 weeks).

WASHINGTON (AP) - Among those feeling the impact of the partial government shutdown are families of service members killed in action.
Survivors are typically sent a $100,000 payment within three days, to help with costs such as funeral expenses. But because of the shutdown, officials say the Defense Department doesn't have the authority to make the payments -- even though most of the department's civilian workers have been recalled.
Some 350,000 civilian Defense Department workers were summoned back to work yesterday as the result of legislation Congress passed and Obama signed after the shutdown began. Many other agencies, such as NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, remain mostly shuttered.

Thanks for raising awareness of bullying. ..I still have bad acne, but was fortunate to have great friends through high school who never mentioned it ;)

Such a great cause! I remember being late for class because I was applying extra makeup to cover my acne...I was so self conscious in high school. Thankfully I was never bullied over it, but I remember other kids who were. It's so sad.

I'm almost 32 and still deal with acne. Sucks when my kiddos point to something on my face and ask, "Mommy, what is that?" And I just say politely, "a blemish..." Anyway, I'd love to try out this product - thanks so much for such an awesome giveaway!!!

Thank you for taking a public stand on bullying. At the young age of 5 my son has been a victim of bullying. As communities we must not enable such poor social engagement among one another.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Marvin Berkowitz of Jerusalem, Israel and nine other defendants were indicted on multiple felony counts by the federal grand jury for the Northern District of Illinois. Berkowitz was indicted on thirty-four counts of mail fraud and wire fraud and six counts of identity theft. These charges are in relation to an income tax refund fraud scheme in which Berkowitz and his co-defendants defrauded and attempted to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and several states. Related charges were also indicted in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Berkowitz was arrested in Israel as was another defendant; other arrests were made in Chicago and Los Angeles. Ann Roe investigated this case and identified and halted $454,926.00 in fraudulent Kentucky refunds connected to this scheme. These were identified and reported to the IRS as part of their investigation of this case. The case is United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois indictment 09-CR-144.
An indictment is only an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until or unless found guilty.

I've been meaning to do one on geodesy, projections, datums (yes, datums, not data) and general geography theory like that. I have a whole bunch of projects on the go already though.
Is anyone interested in collaborating a lot of the information we have here into a tutorial on how to create maps full stop - You know a one stop shop document that people can read, especially budding new cartographers, that covers everything people need to know in theory before they start putting pen to paper, or hand to mouse.
I'm not talking how to draw by hand or paint on the computer... I'm talking all the theory involved... Such as tectonic plate movement, geology, geography, weather patterns, erosion, climate, topography, river paths, coastlines, diplomacy, national and regional borders etc.
I am sure there is a mine of information lost amongst all these forum posts and every single one of us could benefit from taking into account something in our own maps that we have forgotten about, but someone else has remembered.
If anyone thinks this is a good idea then post your comments below and we'll see if we can get a team together to write it up, or at least start a thread that covers all the stuff someone should bear in mind before they start drawing their new map.
I've thought about this because every time I finish my map I find something I've forgotten about and have to redo it... sometimes completely overhaul it.
I've been meaning to do one on geodesy, projections, datums (yes, datums, not data) and general geography theory like that. I have a whole bunch of projects on the go already though.
I think a glossary of terms for geography (tectonics etc) cartography (Rhumb lines, projections etc), software (histogram, resample, layers etc) and artistic (woodblock, textures, blends etc) with links to relevant tutorials would cover that quite well.
I'm not sure writing the "One tutorial to rule them all" approach is really the best way to deal with that tho. I think the issue is finding the existing tutorials rather than having a new one presented in a single doc format. A single glossary tho would be a good idea to branch from as the starting point. Maybe the one tutorial to rule them all could in very loose and broad terms talk about items in a very surface scratching way and then leave it to people to follow the index / glossary to more detailed tutorials.
Really, a wiki is ideal for this but we have had issues with spamming on the wiki we ran before on this site. I did the keyword index scraper for the site a long while back and the link is still in my sig but its way out of date. In any case we want something like that only with many many more keywords and also where the links from them are on their own page for each. We need a wiki with non public editing and a set of editors for it possibly elected by vote or by nomination with seconding from more than X number of people with a post count of greater than some number say 50 so that its resistant to spamming.

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I'd love to participate in such a project. A 'one tutorial to rule them all' might be a bit massive, but a sub-forum devoted to the science and art behind maps would be of great interest to me. I flatter myself I might even be able to contribute somewhat, and pay back a little of all the great information I have gleaned from this site.

I find that whenever a map seems to lack just a little something to make it feel right, posting it up here and getting some critique is by far the most effective way to improve it.
As regards the tutorial, I think it's a fine idea, although I have a feeling that such an undertaking will run to more of a book than a tut! In fact, you might take a look at Expeditious Retreat Press' A Magical Society: Ecology and Culture, which attempts to do exactly what you're describing. There's a free sample chapter entitled A Magical Society: Guide to Mapping.
Although I must warn you: if your pet peeve is people who say "artic" instead of "arctic," it will drive you nuts.
Perhaps a tutorial series on some of these topics, with an index document/thread to link to each one would help to break it down into something more manageable.

I think this would be a good idea, but as has already been pointed out, it has it's problems. A wiki would be the best way, but if it was publicly editable the spam control would be a nightmare elthough we could get a lot of good information. On the other hand, if it was editable only by a select group, then the work load could become quite large for that few, and less would be contributed from new sources due to the attitude of "Well if they dont want my input **** them!".
I would suggest a wiki be created as part of the existing site, and the permissions group for allowing editing there be set based on forum post count (as suggested above), with forum users gaining page creation/edit rights automaticly as the become eligable. But monitor the post count over time, say posts in the last ninety days (including wiki posts) to maintain the permissions. THis prevents account hijaking of old defunct accounts. A person once eligable would have to make say 5 posts per ninety days to remain eligable. That code would be easy enough to impliment. Simply do the calculation when the person logs in, and set a flag bit in the session data (either cookie or session temp files). During the loged in period, this variable would simply be checked as needed.
A point of note here though, wiki page creation and editing can be time consuming, especially for longer articles. Thye current time out limit might need to be changed, or a different timer used for wiki timeouts. That code could be problematical.
So in essence, before a project of this nature gets started, the venue should be decided. The site admins will want to weigh in heavily on this topic I believe.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in a post body, all work uploaded here by me may be used for any purpose commercial or otherwise.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colours....
but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

About this font family
The idea for Lipstick came from a snippy little note Patrick Griffin's better half left for him one night. The note was tacked to the bedroom door. "COUCH TONIGHT!" it exclaimed in red lipstick on a paper towel. All because the hockey game was on at the same time as American Idol. Sheesh. But since all is fair in love and hockey, and since Patrick was used to such cruel treatment, he shrugged his shoulders and let his mind wander about the concept of using lipstick as a writing tool, and pondering the possibilities of a lipstick font.

Constituency Responses
Summary: BL and CILIP believes that the changes are not necessary or helpful; others agree in general.
1. Collective Titles: ACOC, CCC, DNB, LC agree.
2. Predominant Work: ACOC, CCC, DNB, LC agree.
3. Resources Issued in More Than One Part: ACOC, CCC, and LC all offer revisions. ALA position needed.
I like LC's revision which results in combining a) & b). Note that if this happens, the final reference to categories e) & f) need to be changed to d) & e).
I do not like ACOC's proposal for b) -- the numbering in a CD set establishes an order; it's just not a helpful one.
I am happy to accept CCC's proposed revisions, although the ones proposed for a) and b) would not be necessary if LC's proposal to combine those two is approved.
I think I can live with LC's proposal for category d).
I am especially interesting in hearing from serials experts to ensure that the proposed modifications still meet their needs.
- Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
-- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/10
One thing that is new with the ALA proposal is the inclusion of instructions for a resource that has a main or predominant work. The absence of such an instruction anywhere in RDA was alluded to in an RDA-L message this afternoon. - Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
Comment on CCC response to 184.108.40.206: I generally have no objection to these proposed changes. I should note, however, that the Sources TF specifically decided to propose the use of "manifests" instead of "embodies" in the 1st paragraph as being more in line with the way RDA uses FRBR terminology. - Glennan (PCC), 10/15/12
I'm not sure LC's combination of a) and b) is any better than our two separate categories; no matter how we try to present this as a principled approach, what we're really saying is "ignore sequential numbering whenever you want to." I don't think the numbering of a compact disc set containing an opera is any less significant than the numbering of a three-volume monograph.
LC's rewording of d), is not, as they say, going back to the original wording. The original wording was "not sequentially numbered," and we would not want to go back to that because no one knows what it means. I don't think LC's version here means quite the same thing as our original proposed text, and the text ACOC proposes for b) ("the numbering does not help to establish an order") may actually be closer to what we were trying to say. But again we're all really just struggling to come up with something that sounds better than "ignore numbering if you want to." And that may be part of the reason for BL and CILIP's lack of enthusiasm for this proposal.
Since the proposed text for c) is unchanged, I don't see any potential problems related to serials cataloging. No matter how many times we offer opportunities to ignore numbering, serials catalogers are unlikely to take them. --Robert J. Rendall 11:39, 16 October 2012 (PDT)
Yes, my reaction to the ACOC wording for d) was that it was an elegant solution to something that the TF has been wrestling with. I am inclined to support it. -- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/17
ACOC actually suggested this wording for b) - I don't think it works there (see Kathy's comment above) but I think we could use it for d). --Robert J. Rendall 08:09, 17 October 2012 (PDT)
CCC's suggested examples seem helpful to me. As Kathy notes, the task force chose manifests for a reason, but I have no objection if the JSC prefers embodies.
As LC notes, our original goal was to create mutually-exclusive categories. However, it soon became clear to the task force that this is very difficult to do in the context of RDA.
I find "concept of sequential issuing of parts is not applicable" less clear than "numbering not suitable for producing an ordered sequence." In addition, the ALA wording retains an explicit connection to the use of numbering, which I think is helpful. I agree with Robert that the ACOC suggestion for b) "the numbering does not help to establish an order" would also work here (and I agree with the others that it doesn't work for b). It might also be useful to give an example or two of unorderable numbering.
I find LC's combination of a and b to be clearer, but it loses the explicit preference for a collective title. I think this could be added back in after "choose a source of information identifying the resource as a whole." The kit example should go with unnumbered as in CCC's response.

PESWiki.com -- Pure Energy Systems Wiki: Finding and Facilitating the Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies
OS:Tesla, Meyl, and Jackson's Wireless Aetheric Power Transmission
From PESWiki
A PESN open source project
Officially launched April 21, 2011
To replicate the wireless power transmission technology first introduced by Nikola Tesla, then enlarged upon recently by Nobel Prize-deserving Directory:Konstantin Meyl; and recently embodied into a simple set of plans by IEEE member, Steve Jackson.
The purpose of this open source project page is to facilitate the replication of these plans, as well as to characterize, optimize, improve, and come up with the zillion applications that can come from it.
Potential applications include: 1) harnessing aetheric energy, 2) superluminal communication, 3) wireless transmission of power through any barrier, 4) anti-gravity capabilities, and 5) creating defensive shields to make conventional war obsolete. [1]
Jackson is providing these plans free of charge. He is working on a kit to help people source the materials at a reasonable price, expected to be ready in about a week.

Profile: Steve Jackson
Steve is a long-standing member of IEEE, a world-revered association of electrical engineers. He is intent on seeing Nikola Tesla become revered in that community as deserved; and sees electrical engineers as being in a good position to replicate these plans, characterize, optimize, improve, and come up with a zillion applications.
In the IEEE video, Steve took the receiver unit about 20 feet from the transmitter. In his personal testing he was able to take the receiver 60 feet away with no diminishing of output power. The distance was limited by the ground wire between the receiver and transmitter. Tesla was using the earth as the ground, and he was working with higher voltages.
One of Steve's associates has replicated his design using these plans. (As of April 11, 2011)

Hi Steve,
I finished my coils today. I've attached a couple of photos.
The only areas where I deviated from your instructions:
I used 1/4" ABS sheet for the base that I had on hand.
I used 1/4" acrylic for the discs that I had on hand.
I used a #20(.161 dia.) for the center holes to get a better fit with the center screw. It controls the parallelism of the base and disc a little better, especially with the thicker acrylic.
I know you are aware of this, but Tesla stated that he got better performance from his systems when the mass of the primary equals the mass of the secondary. I've noticed this in the cylindrical coils that I've built using spark impulses, also. Now, Dollard says that Tesla made a mistake here and that its the surface areas of the primary and secondary that need to be equal instead of the masses.
I think on down the road, after I've tested these coils, I think I will build two sets of coils using both these criteria and see if I can detect a difference.
Steve, are you aware of a formula for calculating the inductance of these pancake coils? And to get resonance, where is the capacitance? Is it between the turns of the coil? I keep thinking about the 4.888Mhz dream data.
Also, do you think this technology would work at lower frequencies?
Is the custom driver your team developed available for download somewhere? I can use the current driver, but you said that your driver allowed you to use the scroll wheel to vary the frequency to hunt for resonance. Is that right?
I hope everything is going well for you.
Thanks for everything.........................Ron
