GOP eyes new election laws
BOSTON After back-to-back presidential losses, Republicans in key states want to change the rules to make it easier for them to win.
From Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, GOP officials who control legislatures in states that supported President Barack Obama are considering changing state laws that give the winner of a state's popular vote all of its Electoral College votes, too. Instead, these officials want Electoral College votes to be divided proportionally, a move that could transform the way the country elects its president.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus endorsed the idea this week, and other Republican leaders support it, too, suggesting that the effort may be gaining momentum. There are other signs that Republican state legislators, governors and veteran political strategists are seriously considering making the shift as the GOP looks to rebound from presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Electoral College shellacking and the demographic changes that threaten the party's long-term political prospects.
"It's something that a lot of states that have been consistently blue that are fully controlled red ought to be looking at," Priebus told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, emphasizing that each state must decide for itself.
Democrats are outraged at the potential change.
Obama won the popular vote with 65.9 million votes, or 51.1 percent, to Romney's 60.9 million, or 47.2 percent, and won the Electoral College by a wide margin, 332-206 electoral votes. It's unclear whether he would have been re-elected under the new system, depending upon how many states adopted the change.
While some Republican officials warn of a political backlash, GOP lawmakers in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are already lining up behind proposals that would allocate electoral votes by congressional district or something similar.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he "could go either way" on the change and doesn't plan to push it. But he said it's a reasonable issue to debate and that he prefers that leaders discuss it well before the next presidential election.
"It could be done in a thoughtful (way) over the next couple years and people can have a thoughtful discussion," Snyder said.
Republican leaders in the Michigan Statehouse have yet to decide whether to embrace the change there. But state Rep. Peter Lund, a Republican who introduced a bill to change the allocation system two years ago, said some Republicans might be more receptive to his bill this year following the election.
"We never really pushed it before," he said, adding that the bill wasn't designed to help one party more than the other.
Democrats aren't convinced. And they warned of political consequences for Republicans who back the shift - particularly those governors up for re-election in 2014, who include the governors of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, among others.
"This is nothing more than election-rigging," said Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer.
Each state has the authority to shape its own election law. And in at least seven states - Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida and North Carolina - Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature and the governor's office.
Already, Maine and Nebraska have moved away from a winner-take-all system to one that allocates electoral votes based on congressional district.
"This is a concept that's got a lot of possibility and a lot of potential," said Washington-based Republican strategist Phil Musser, acknowledging that the debate would "incite different levels of partisan acrimony." Musser also predicted that more pressing economic issues would likely take priority in most Republican-led statehouses.
In Pennsylvania, Senate Republican leader Dominic Pileggi this week renewed his call for the Republican-controlled Legislature to revamp the way it awards electoral votes by using a method based on the popular vote that would have given Romney eight of the state's 20 votes.

Hello Huskies!
I'm very excited for you and where you are in the process of becoming a student at the University of Washington Bothell. My name is Amani, I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and this will be my third year at the University, double majoring in Media and Communication and Law Economics and Public Policy.
Some fun things that I'm involved in on campus are UWave Radio. I'm currently the director of Business there so if ever you're interested in music, media, or community outreach feel free to ask me any questions. When I'm not on campus I love styling hair, I've been a hair stylist since 2013 at my own salon I started once I graduated high school. Some other fun things I like to do are singing, and writing songs on my guitar. In high school I used to write songs and play at pep rallies and student assemblies.
One thing that I love the most about the University of Washington Bothell is the small community feel that allows me to easily get involved and connect with other students, staff, and faculty on campus. One very important thing to remember is to make the most out of your college experience by getting out of your comfort zone. I'm very excited to meet you, thank you for joining this wonderful team!

When it all comes down to getting from point A to point B in a hurry and the weather just isn't making anything easy, turn to the Chrome District Backpack to get your stuff there safely. The District relies on tough, weatherproof fabric and a tried-and-true rolltop design to beat back Mother Nature's most insidious attacks. You'll find it tough to resist the urge to try and climb inside.
The most striking thing about the District is its cool retro look. That's not just a style thing, however. The rolltop is both waterproof and expandable. Inside, the District has organizational pockets that allow you to keep track of your smart phone and other personal items, and a D-ring loop for your keys. The zippered laptop compartment accommodates models up to 15 inches. The District has a comfortable back panel and shoulder strap design that allows you to carry heavy loads for long distances without soreness. The adjustable shoulder straps let you carry the District exactly where you want, depending on the size and weight of your load. Chrome also included an adjustable sternum strap for added security and support.
The District is made with a durable 600 denier, TPU-coated shell. The shoulder straps are industrial strength as well and have metal locking cams under each arm, so you can expect this thing to be around for a long time.
The Crome District Messenger Bag comes in one size and is available in Berlin Blue, Woodland, and Black.

Will withstand anything
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
First of all, this is the most rugged bag I own which is exactly what I was looking for. They were not kidding when they described it as 'theft-proof' either; anyone trying to sneak something out would first need to get by the very loud velcro strap. It's waterproof, sturdy, and will protect your valuables. My only complaints are the volume it can hold (smaller than your average North Face backpack) and the lack of multiple accessible points with only one opening at the top (takes a while to get to your stuff especially if what you're looking for has sunk to the bottom). Safe and extremely hardy for long trips in unknown urban territory. It looks super cool too.
Solid backpack.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really liked this backpack at first. It was sleek and stylish and pretty comfortable to wear. After using it for while, my tune changed a little bit. The velcro closure is really loud to undo and the front pocket, when in use, takes away space from the main pocket. The bag is made out of very high quality materials, but I found that this just wasn't for me.
It's Served Me Well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this bag right before Interbike 2013, and I've been using it ever since. The shape is low-profile and unassuming, which is good, and the strap design is pretty comfortable under load. Honestly, it has a few more bells and whistles than a really needed, but after using the same Citizen Metropolis bag since 2001, it was time to change it up.
The roll top feature is pretty good to have in a pinch when you need some added volume, which brings me to a couple of drawbacks. This bag doesn't expand very much considering it's maximum height, which can make packing for an international trip a little difficult. When fully-loaded, the inside can be a bit like a pit of despair. But for everyday trips, it's no big deal. My other complaint is that the internal Velcro closure strap for the laptop compartment is a little too long. A weird complaint, sure, but when it hangs, it's chewed up a few expensive jerseys in my bag.
Overall, this isn't the be-all-to-end-all bag, but it's perfect for the slightly-demanding commuter.
Love the bag, but needs getting used to
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I believe your stuff will be safe in the bag, but I agree with other reviewers about ease of use. The bag is really comfortable on my back when riding, even with a heavy load like a laptop and books. The design is super cool, and people always comment positively. However, it is difficult to get things in and out. It is not ideal for bringing bulky but light stuff, especially those that will stick to Velcro. They put some sticky Velcro on there, and I appreciate it despite the inconvenience.
One thing I would like to see changed is the trimming on the bottom edge of the bag. I feel like that is where a lot of weight is borne and would feel better not to see sewing here, maybe move the trimming up higher. That same trimming also rubs against my back which I think adds unnecessary wear, and potentially tear ?
Loud velcro/hard to get to compartment
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This really is a nice backpack but the super strong velcro in addition to how deep the bag really is once the roll top is extended out make it very difficult to get items quickly and quietly. In a setting where you don't want to be loud, this is far from ideal and really is a deal breaker for me at least.
If you plan on using the outer compartments for anything, the shape can also become a bit deformed if you put anything too big so keep that in mind as well.
I'd like to think of this as a learning experience in that the rolltop design while very nice in appearance, after actually using it, it's just not or me.
Is the noise the whole reason you gave it 2 stars? How durable and comfortable is the bag?
No, while the velcro noise was an issue, I probably should have stressed that the backpack wasn't practical for my everyday use. The strong velcro in addition to this being a rolltop was kind of overkill. Loosening the velcro and unrolling it takes up a bit more time then I'd like in addition to the compartment being very deep and dark which makes getting items in the bag a chore. You might be able to cover up some of the velcro areas if you buy some velcro material. I'd say the material is pretty high quality and durable from what i've seen of it, though I no longer have the backpack. Can't comment on comfort as I barely used it when I had it. The straps on this were pretty nice though.
BTW. I now have the Chrome Mini Metro Messenger bag and am extremely happy with it. I would recommend it or the Chrome Citizen Messenger bag (for more space). Costs more but I doubt you'd be disappointed once you get it.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The quality of the build of this bag is great. It is a well constructed piece of gear.
Is it for me? I don't know. The bag is smaller than I expected. It holds daily supplies, but I'm wishing it had a bit more to give. It needs an easy to access external pocket to make it work. The main compartment is secured by really heavy duty velcro which gets old if you need to open and close the bag frequently. On the other hand, that velcro keeps your gear safe and secure.
The jury is still out for me.
^ I agree with the comment about the Velcro. It is secure, but doesn't make for stealthy opening/closing.
Great commuter bag/ lightweight traveler
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As an avid cyclist and frequent traveler, I have tried a variety of bags. Through this experimentation, I've found that Chrome offers some of the most durable bags with an unbeatable pairing of style and functionality. My Chrome Ivan and Sotnik Duffle take care of the traveling, while the Chrome District has quickly become my favorite for overnights and commuting. Its small size makes it comfortable and easy to transport, but its large volume will accomodate a surprising amount of gear. The minimalist harness with D-rings and chest strap work well, but the padding is a bit more minimalist than the Ivan or Sultan (not a knock, but worth a mention. The District's main compartment is nice and large with a section for a laptop, and just enough pockets for your wallet, phone, earbuds, etc.

Bonilla arrested for misconduct, denies charges
(Page 2 of 4)
"Sexual harassment is always wrong, but often it is not a criminal matter," she said. "Here, however, Mark Bonilla tried to use his public office to shield himself from accountability, and that is why he was arrested."
A day after the arrest, Murray and other elected officials called on him to resign. Murray was joined by five other town board members, the receiver of taxes and the town attorney at a Saturday-morning press conference at Town Hall.
"Protecting our staff from a hostile work environment is a responsibility that I and all my colleagues take very seriously," Murray said. "I will ensure that employees in the clerk's office have a work environment that is safe and free of intimidation and inappropriate behavior."
Murray, who several times cited "credible" allegations against Bonilla, said that a letter was also being hand-delivered to him asking for his resignation. She added that his alleged conduct has no place in the town, and that he has violated the public's trust.
DiLuzio said that Bonilla has no intention of resigning, and he believes his client will be vindicated.
Regardless of the outcome of the criminal charges, Murray said, Bonilla should step down based on the sexual harassment allegations. "I don't believe that you have to be convicted of a crime to be guilty of inappropriate behavior in a professional government setting," she said. "No matter what happens on the criminal complaint, we believe that there are credible allegations that have been made about sexual harassment. That in my book is enough that he should resign."
Ra said that any town official would automatically be removed from office if convicted of a felony. The charges Bonilla faces, however, are misdemeanors. Ra said that his office was researching the town board's powers to remove the town clerk, who is an independently elected official.
Murray said she hopes it won't come to that, and that Bonilla will step down. If he does leave office, the town board would appoint a successor, who would then be up for election in November 2013.

Wow! With the push of a button, a man's career is ended! What happened to due process? I'm not saying that Mr Bonilla is innocent or guilty, but he deserves his day in court.

One Perfect Life: An Ode to the Real South SideBack of the Yards, Bridgeport, Bronzeville, Chinatown, Englewood, Essays & Commentary, Hyde Park, Kenwood, Little Village, Pilsen, South Shore, Southeast Side No Comments »
By Scoop Jackson
"Pharaoh of the Sun/Lookin' down the barrel of a gun/Y'all know where I'm from."
—from the poem "Keep On" by famous South Sider Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr. (aka Common)
We call them "pockets." It's the best way any of us who come from the South Side of Chicago can describe the drastic ebb and flow of the 'hoods we live in.
"On the South Side," real estate agent and South Side resident Chrystal Caruthers says, "you can grow up in a good neighborhood but go two blocks over and I'll bet the people won't feel the same." The block-to-block change. The neighborhood-to-neighborhood shift in dynamics, living conditions and mentality. It exists in other neighborhoods in the country, but not like on the South Side in this city. The same way Chief Keef can weave tales about life on the South Side, Will Smith can come here and hang out on the lake on 31st Street and go write "Summertime."
Growing up here gives one a perspective of range. Range in the sense of how far-reaching an area can be, how diverse and disconnected and devoted people raised on the same concrete can be. Where oftentimes the kids at Bogan were more dangerous to a young black kid than the GDs or El Rukns who went to Dunbar.
There is more beauty in the real South Side than anyone who doesn't live here could understand. Through all of the bullshit, all of the incidents that happen on the side of Chicago that gives it the nicknames "Homicide Capital" and "Chiraq," there exist pockets of life that bring an unmatched sense of pride and joy not found anywhere else in the city.

text: A short history of Amazon's future tablet Amazon 28 September 11 by Tim Carmody Wired.com Amazon is holding an invitation-only press event in New York today. It starts at 10 a.m. Eastern time (15.00 GMT). We'll be there. Nobody thinks they're coming to write about anything with an E Ink screen.We're expecting Amazon's long-awaited media tablet, running a custom build of Android's open-source operating system. The best reports suggest the following:-- A seven-inch backlit LCD touchscreen-- Hardware resembling Blackberry's Playbook -- reportedly, Playbook original device manufacturer Quanta is behind Amazon's tablet, too, and used its design for RIM's tablet as a template-- Finally, the tablet will be called either the "Kindle Fire" or simply "Fire".We can also expect Amazon to trumpet its Android Appstore, its recent deal with magazine publisher Hearst, the new tablet-optimised version of the Amazon.com retail store, and likely still more.Rumours have been swirling about just which publishers, studios and other creative companies have already inked deals with Amazon, and whether these agreements will be announced at the launch. All of these companies have learned the lesson that a tablet can have gorgeous hardware with great specs, but still fail to catch on. Most tablets haven't even gotten that far.These are casual, consumer media devices. The package matters less than its ability to deliver the contents. At least, this is what Amazon and its partners hope. So far, Android tablets, particularly the seven-inch models Steve Jobs famously called "tweeners" on an Apple earnings call last fall, have failed to captivate buyers the way that Apple's hugely successful iPad has.Amazon has several advantages over other tablet manufacturers that have tried to compete with Apple. It has an established, built-in audience of loyal customers, whether of the Kindle, its e-books or the wide range of retail goods it sells. All of these give Amazon better brand recognition and loyalty than any comparable manufacturer except perhaps Apple, at least in the United States. Amazon also deals in a wide range of other media perfectly suited for tablets, including video, magazines, games and apps. It's customizing Android and its Appstore specifically for its own tablet hardware, potentially solving the fragmentation problem that's plagued Android on smartphones and tablets.

To Do Or To Delegate?
"You don't need to do everything yourself" may sound liberating and puzzling all at once. You might be asking yourself, "If I don't do it, who will?" Admittedly, delegating is a challenge, but it's also a very learnable skill with a sweet payoff.
Does My Baby Really Care Who Buys His Diapers?
How can you determine if you're not trying to do everything yourself when you shouldn't be? Sarah's ah-ha moment came the day she brought her first child, William, home from hospital on a warm Sunday morning in the summer of 2006. She and her husband Gardiner had done what they thought was a thorough job of setting up the nursery. They had a crib, changing table, diapers, clothes, soaps, lotions, a thermometer, toys, blankets – the works. But they were in for a rude awakening.
Because their son Will was on the small side, they found that the diapers they purchased came up to his chin. Then they realized they had no diaper ointment. Then they realized they had no diaper pail, no soft little cotton pads to wipe his little bottom, and no plastic bowl to put warm water in for wetting the soft little cotton pads that they didn't have. Then they realized that not only didn't they have enough bottles, but the ones they did have didn't have the right nipples. Will got too much milk too fast. Then they realized they didn't have a pacifier. The list of forgotten or never considered items went on and on! Sarah felt like a complete failure (already!) as a mom, for missing such obvious things. Sarah also realized that she and Gar were failing as a team, because they weren't getting the important things done.
Sarah felt she had to compensate for her perceived failure by going out and getting all the supplies herself. She refused to let her husband go to the store with a list to get what they needed for a properly-stocked nursery. She piled everyone into the car and sped to the nearest CVS and then on to the grocery store. Sarah felt resentment towards Gar because she was doing more, even though she insisted on going to the store herself. After two hours of shopping, Sarah was exhausted, the baby was crying for his next feeding and her usually gentle husband Gar was growling at her because she was acting like such a neurotic control freak. It wasn't until they were waiting for the light to change at a stoplight that she took a moment to breathe and realized that she was acting like a crazy woman.
Post Partum brain, guilt, control freak – no matter what was driving Sarah to over-correct her mistake and take charge, we've probably all been there. We've all felt that if we do it ourselves it will get done better or faster or more perfectly. Letting go of the "if you want it done right do it yourself" dictum can not only open you up, you can get more done.

The Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area is famous for its waterfalls, 77 on the Oregon side alone. They can be classified into eight forms: plunge, horsetail, fan, cascade, punchbowl, block, tier, and segmented.
According to Wikipedia, Multnomah Falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon. It is credited by a sign at the site of the falls, and by the United States Forest Service, as the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States.

Raspberry Pi what is the secret of his success and what are its potential
If in these days you take a look at the list of possible gifts/gadgets that will be hot in the next Christmas you'll find almost for sure the Raspberry Pi.
This is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It's a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also able to play high-definition video and sending the output through an HDMI interface to a TV or a monitor and all of this at a starting price of around 25$.
The design is based around a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 128 or 256 Megabytes of RAM, with two USB ports and a 10/100 Ethernet controller. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage. The board is intended to run Linux kernel based operating systems and there is a lot of interest on the open source community with many small distro born to support this new hardware such as raspbian, a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware.
Recently the Raspberry Pi Model B with 512MB RAM has been announced and put on the market.

With the allure of EU accession and an aggressive commitment to making local firms globally competitive, Turkey for the past decade has been a totemic symbol of the promise—and pitfalls—of the emerging markets. A growing middle class with health purchasing power has led to more opportunities for foreign innovative drug makers, but there is a down side too, in the form of interventionist trade and regulatory practices as well as a subtle trend toward xenophobia as the prospects for Turkish membership in the European Union fades. What's next? A new attitude more open to the industry's potential, if the right policies are followed.
The boom times also saw an unprecedented series of government reforms—including the introduction of a universal health insurance scheme—that reshaped Turkey's healthcare markets. The number of people covered by the public insurance system grew from 50 percent in 2000 to 86 percent in 2011, with the goal to hit 100 percent last year. Consumption soared: physician visits per capita increased from three visits in 2002 to eight in 2011, leading to increased satisfaction with the health service, which posted an 81 percent favorable rating in 2011. From 2003 to 2011, average life expectancy in Turkey increased by 2.5 years, from just under 72 to over 74 years.

Hi all,
I'm new to the Zimbra environment so please bear with me while I try to explain my problems and understand my options.
We have a new Zimbra server setup in a 3 server Proxy environment. (All version 7.1.1) The proxy environment was setup by another IT group within our organization.
I installed the Blackberry Connector only to find out our proxy environment is using port 443 for its communication. It's also important to note I do NOT have global admin access to our environment. Only delegated administration access to our server alone. Not sure if this is problem or not but I figured this was a good thing to note as I ramble on about my problem.
So hit Google for some help on this problem and come across the following URL
BES Installation Issues - Zimbra :: Wiki
I read through the information trying to understand what is being suggested and it's lead me to some additional questions.
1. Is this problem resolved by implementing the solution from comment #6 from bug 31053? Is this something that can be done now or needs to be built into a future release? If it can be done now, has anyone has tried the solution?
2. Can the port being used for Zimbra proxy be changed to something else besides 443? Is that the default port for Zimbra Proxy?
3. Can the port being used by the connector be changed to use a different port?
4. (Off-topic) If I'm able to get all the proxy stuff sorted out (or turned off), will not having an account with global admin rights cause a problem? Can a delegated domain admin account accomplish the same thing in the case of mail store access??
Thanks in advance for the help.

Cook solar: California employees get sun-cooked snacks
As part of the Sierra Nevada Earth Day celebration in California, Western employees partook in a scrumptious snack prepared entirely by the sun and a few common household supplies.
Miracorp contractor Kelly Rider used only solar energy, recycled paper boxes, clear plastic packing tape, aluminum foil and glue sticks to whip up some nanchos, beans and chocolate chip cookies for employees.
"Sacramento boasts about 200 days of sun each year, so why not use the sun to cook your food? It doesn't heat up the house or use any cooking fuel. And the best part is it's free!" said Rider.
Solar cooking works like a slow cooker set on low, so it doesn't let food get dry or burned, and there's no need to constantly stir or watch the food. "Using the sunshine is a great way to prepare and serve meals that are environmentally friendly and reduce your carbon footprint," Rider added.
In case you're wondering if solar cooking is only good for small snacks, Rider created a chicken and wild rice dinner the week before Earth Day as a trial run.
Do you have experience with solar cooking? Is it possible where you live? What other types of environmentally friendly cooking have you seen or done? If you want to learn more about solar cooking and its capabilities, visit Solar Cookers International at www.solarcookers.org

I'm currently upgrading and switching to UL gear , I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these packs they look very similar. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
There is a review being done on these two manufacturer's packs on another forum. I believe it is the Terminus vs. the DT1 on a bikini frame.
DISCLAIMER!!! - This is not a production pack so please don't call Aron or Angie at Kifaru and flip out that you haven't gotten your new pack yet. This is Aron's prototype pack and ONLY a loaner for a couple weeks for me to try it out and let you guys know my thoughts.
So I was over at Kifaru yesterday and going over this pack with Aron and let me tell you this new bikini frame is top notch in every way. Just one day of use but here are my thoughts so far. I'm not going to go into a detailed DT2 review because everyone by now should have a really good idea on how the pack looks and the features associated with it.
I can sum this frame with one word = COMFORTBALE!!
Craftsmanship - Being a prototype its a little bit different then the production packs on the webbing. The webbing on this pack is 1" and production is 3/4". As with everything from Kifaru, the stitching and craftsmanship on the new frame are second to none. Double and even triple stitched in every "stress" area on the frame. Its going to last a lifetime, no doubt. The black pad lining is very soft and no possible abrasive points I can feel or even see.
Fit - Modular is an understatement. There is over 8 inches of adjustability in the frame so you can really fit the frame to you no matter what body type or torso length. There are more attachment points then one man knows what to do with to be honest. About 20 different points. This goes with Kifaru's theme of, they won't phase out any pack or frame. You have so many options on this frame to attach different packs and load carriers its crazy. Honestly, on mine (when I get it) I might cut a few off. Well the fit. Like I said, its beyond comfortable and how the bikini frame kind of molds to your back is impressive. The padding and material around the shoulder/back pads is a little loose and I wasnt really too sure on how that would feel because of the small amount of give but once I wore it around I realized its made that way to help the frame and pack move with you instead of being rigid. The frame is hard to describe as a true feel but its almost between the normal 2 stay Timberline and the sheet Duplex. Its flexible enough to mold to your back but at the same time rigid enough to provide unlimited support.
First Trip I loaded it up this morning with around 35lbs and did a quick 3 mile loop to see how it felt. Without a doubt its way more comfortable then the duplex with 35lbs in it and I cant repeat myself enough on comfort. The waist belt, being thin, molds to the hip bone like it should and the normal back stays that in the frame are a perfect fit for me. I didnt have one issue with the pack sliding down or it needing any readjustment during the 3 miles. The power pull waist belt held snug even when I jogged for a dozen yards or so.
Weight At 35lbs it was a dream pack thats for sure. Im going to do more trips with heavier weights over the next week or so and Ill post how those weights felt as well. One thing I really liked about the frame that kind of was a shock. The side to side stability of it was impressive. With the pack synched down you can seriously swing back and forth and the pack isnt rotating off your back or hell, even really sliding around much. Last night, I did however load up 83lbs per my scale, and walked just around the block (got some funny looks). Its like Aron says, the feel after about 50lbs or so feels very similar to the Duplex. The flexibility is there still but the frame real turns load carrying tank. Kifaru did an amazing job on this frame. I will update though when I get another trip with it.
Kryptek Highlander Awesome camo! Enough said
Any questions or if you want different pics or configurations let me know. PM me or call 480-326-9009 if you want too
Thanks for the info, it helped a lot I just can't see spending so much money on ultra light gear and having a 9 lb pack . So I want the lightest pack that I can get that wont sacrifice comfort and durability. Thank you so much again.
The Kifaru high camp is worth checking out. 7000 ci at 5 pounds and rated to carry 100+ pounds.
Thanks for the info I really like the look of it and the KU5200 and the weight , thank you again

Its an OK idea, I am sure there are many examples of high summer maps, with winter maps less common, but far more common than spring or autumn, so I can see the need for an Autumnal map.
Since I haven't officially started my Village of Nocturne map, which is intended to be an autumn setting, but with the twist of being a village map at night under the moonlight, but trees both leafy, coloring, and bare indicates early autumn, at least in the experimental sample provided in that link on the General Mapping WIP forum.
Nocturnal Scene test map
I could hold off doing the village, until such a challenge were to exist - if there's enough interest, otherwise I'm making the map on my own, as per my original plan.

Eating Black Beauty, and other culinary crimes
(Page 2 of 3)
Why is the idea so repugnant? Perhaps because our literature and culture have ascribed a certain nobility to horses (see "War Horse"). We grew up reading "National Velvet" and "Seabiscuit." Native Americans depended on their steeds for hunting and fighting, and our favorite cowboys rode horses that they cherished and sometimes even stuffed when they died (see Roy Rogers and Trigger). To clarify, Roy stuffed Trigger, not the other way around. Dale Evans got away with a simple burial.
Unless you're a vegan, you probably don't object to eating buffalo and cows and pigs and chickens and ducks and elk and deer. In other countries, people eat guinea pigs (see Ecuador) and dogs (see China) and black scorpions on a stick (see the night market in Bangkok).
Bon appétit, I say, unless it's a horse. When I was a kid, I remember that our dog was fed canned horse meat. Very gross. And I'm sure that if you love burgers, somehow, somewhere down the food chain, you've eaten something — maybe not horse meat — that is downright repulsive. That's because my mother is absolutely right: Don't eat hamburgers, especially not when you go out. If you prepare them at home and you purchase the meat from a reputable place, you have a reasonable chance of getting what you think you're getting.
According to The New York Times, Italy is the biggest consumer of horse meat, followed by France and Belgium. It does make me wonder about all those meatballs I ate on the Via Veneto. A friend says her grandson went on a school ski trip to Switzerland and called home to say his dinner was a delicious horse meat brisket. That seems so wrong on so many levels. BTW, brisket makes me think of Jewish holidays, and horse meat isn't kosher, because horses don't have cloven hooves, among other requirements.

1961 Chevrolet Bel Air Front Suspension Upgrade - Handling The Big MotorWritten by Gerry Burger on March 19, 2013 Contributors: Brian Brennan Improved suspension, steering, and brakes for this Caddy-powered Bel Air
The thing that makes hot rodding so much fun is the lack of rules combined with great engineering and fabrication. Take the subject of this story; at first glance it appears to be another nice '61 Bel Air bubbletop, but things take a dramatically different approach when you pop the hood.
There were several great engine options available from Chevrolet in 1961, ranging from the 283 to the 348 and the legendary 409, and yet the shocker under the hood of this sport coupe is a big '71, 500ci Cadillac motor. While that is a huge displacement, the actual weight of the Caddy motor is only about 60 pounds more than a small-block Chevy motor, making it very close in weight to a 348-409. Our subject car was an original small-block car with 51-year-old springs in place. Add drum brakes, a tired and sloppy steering box, and a less-than-aggressive stance and it was easy to see our 1961 Chevrolet Bel Air was ready for a complete front suspension upgrade.
Happily, improving steering, stopping, and stance can all be achieved with one simple phone call to Classic Performance Products (CPP). After perusing the online catalog we ordered a new 500-series power steering box that offers a quicker 14:1 steering ratio for superior direction control and better feedback to the driver. The good news is this is a direct bolt-in, no brackets or adapters required as the housing is cast with the proper mounts.
To take care of the handling we ordered a new set of springs designed for big-block application along with upper and lower tubular control arms. The new heavy-duty springs will handle the additional weight of the Caddy motor, and the 2-inch dropped spindles will give us the desired stance without altering our steering geometry in any way. A beefier front antisway bar with urethane bushing combines with new performance shocks to complete the front suspension package.
Of course going fast is only fun if you can stop fast, and so the drum brakes were given the heave-ho in favor of a set of Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners. The front kit is designed specifically for dropped spindle cars. These combined modifications made our Bel Air handle and feel much like a modern car with drastically reduced body roll and seriously increased stopping power.
The good news is all of this work can be done at home by your average shade tree mechanic, and we never even plugged in the welder. This entire conversion was completed with wrenches, a floor jack, along with a reasonable amount of mechanical and safety experience. By purchasing a matched component system like the CPP frontend and Wilwood brake kits we were ensured all the parts will work in harmony with each other and the good folks at CPP have done all the engineering for you, so there is no need to guess at what diameter sway bar or spring rates will work best for you.
The process begins by removing the old suspension, which basically consists of removing the brake drum and hub from the spindle after removing the spindle nut. Then disconnect the hydraulic brake line and remove the backing plate, most of this is done to make room to work and to keep the pieces removed at a manageable weight. Next remove the tie-rod ends from the steering arms and then with a floor jack under the lower control arm slowly and safely remove the coil spring. Unbolt the control arms and you are ready to begin installing the new CPP parts. Remove, clean, and paint the original steering arms as they will be reused in the process. Obviously this is an abbreviated version of suspension removal and if you are not familiar with the suspension components enlist a knowledgeable friend and consult your Chilton's manual.
Starting with an empty wheelwell, installation of the new parts is basically a bolt-in operation. Like any work involving suspension and brakes be certain of each assembly and take your time to ensure each piece is installed properly. Then bleed the brakes and head to the alignment shop and the job is done. Of course all of the suspension modifications in the world can only improve handling if you use the right wheels and tires. We wrapped some Falken rubber around a set of Schott Performance wheels, opting for the Octane wheel in 18x8 and 18x19 sizes with 245/40ZR18 and 275/40ZR18, front and rear respectively. Back spacing on the front wheels measures 4.5 inches, while the rear rims are back spaced to 5 inches. This wheel and tire combination saves unsprung weight and provides the grip required for performance driving, the great looks are simply a bonus.
A quick trip to our slalom test track proved the CPP suspension components brought our Bel Air from 51-year-old handling to modern standards. We gained 0.65 of a second on the short slalom course that is right at a 10 percent gain. If you're tired of your '58-64 Chevrolet's lack of handling and braking, follow along as we take you step-by-step through the process of improved handling, then check out the performance times in our "timing slip" to show just how much improvement can be had from quality upgrades to your car

Stiffer springs will improve handling and support that big Caddy motor. These are big-block springs for the '61 Chevy from CPP.The springs are too tall to install without a spring compressor. Compress the spring, leaving several coils above the tool.By mounting the compressor toward the bottom of the spring there is no interference between the spring compressor and the upper spring pocket.The coil springs must be properly seated in the helical spring seats in both the lower control arm and the chassis spring pocket.Here is the proper location of the coil spring in the lower control arm. Seat the spring before removing the spring compressor.The '61 Bel Air has a deep spring pocket, use a flashlight to ensure the spring is seated in the upper helical seat before releasing the spring.Raise the floor jack under the lower control arm to ensure the spring cannot slide out of the lower pocket then carefully remove the spring compressor.With the spring compressor removed, carefully jack the lower control up until you can bolt the upper ball joint to the new dropped spindle.
The CPP gas shocks were installed next, a simple matter of sliding the shock inside the spring and bolting it in place top and bottom.Let's face it; almost any steering box that is over 50 years old is ready to replace. We installed a new CPP 500 Series power steering box.The steering box is a direct bolt-in using the factory mounts and new bolts. The box provides us with a pleasing 14:1 steering ratio.With the new steering box bolted in place we installed the Pitman arm and connected it to the center link. Note the sway bar has been bolted in place too.We reconditioned the front suspension with a CPP steering linkage kit that includes the new idler arm. The black billet aluminum tie-rod sleeves hold new tie-rod ends.CPP even offers this model-specific power steering hose kit and, yes, the mount for the power steering pump too. This completes our suspension upgrade.Installing the Wilwood brakes begins by bolting the caliper bracket in place, with the two studs protruding from the rear of the bracket mount the caliper.The two-piece Wilwood rotors must be assembled and attached to the billet aluminum hubs. Use a torque wrench in a cross-sequence to tighten the bolts.
Using a set of safety wire pliers makes it easier to do a neat job; the bolts are safety wired in pairs.Be certain to route the safety wire in the proper direction so both bolts prevent each other from loosening (follow the Wilwood directions on this process).A quick test-fit on the inner bearing ensures it will slide on the spindle; it always pays to check such things prior to greasing the bearing.Then inner bearing will be packed with grease and installed in the hub, followed by the inner seal. Then the hub is slipped onto the spindle.Pack the wheel bearings with a high-temperature, high-performance grease; it pays to invest in performance lubricants such as AMSOIL Inc. grease.Before sliding the hub onto the spindle stub give it a coating of grease; this will help prevent damage to the inner lip seal.The outer bearing was packed and installed in the hub, with the dust cap installed the rotor and hub assembly is complete.The caliper is mounted to the two studs on the mounting bracket and then the brake pads are installed in the calipers.
Here is the completed Wilwood assembly. The big six-piston calipers are clamping on 12.9-inch rotors for plenty of stopping power.The final step is installing a new set of braided stainless steel brake lines. These lines protect against possible abrasion and also give you a slightly firmer pedal feel.The factory brake line mounting tab is still used to make the connection from the hard line to the braided line. The stock clip holds it all together.Always turn the steering from full lock to full lock after installing brake hoses to ensure there is no interference with other components.Here is the completed conversion, everything fit perfectly and we never needed a drill, welder, or grinder; all straightforward bolt-on stuff.

IEQ 45 Question
Posted 16 September 2012 - 03:41 PM
I just purchased an IEq45 mount. I have a couple questions for owners of this mount.
1. Is your mount excessivly noisy? Slewing it sounds like a small jet plane taking off and during tracking i can hear it from 20 foot away, no kidding... I have had both an LX200 and a cgem and they were much quieter.
2. Hand controller is excessivly slugish, the dec+ button sometimes takes may hard and long presses to get working.
3. The dec motor sounds like a telephone modem most the time.
I have put an email into ioptron tech but I want to hear some owner opinions. Most of what I have read here and other places have been positive, but after my first night with it I am less than impressed.
Periodic error is not good, backlash in dec is high (setpoint of 850). Tracking while guiding is not good, due to the high PE.
I am going to give tech support and the mount time, but it may be going back.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 05:32 PM
I just received delivery of my iEQ45, and am still in the process of setting it up.
However, I purchased it after reading a number of threads about it on CN and elsewhere that reported it was a quiet mount.
So, I hope yours can be made quiet, and that mine is quiet to start with!
A "coffee grinder" sounding mount (like the CG5?) will not be acceptable to me. I've been pleased, sound-wise, with the 4 Skywatcher mounts I've owned, and hope the iEQ45 will be at least as quiet.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 06:07 PM
You should not hear it while tracking. Slewing can be loud but not any more so than an Orion Atlas. The newest hand controller (8407) and firmware should solve all your problems.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 06:58 PM
Posted 16 September 2012 - 07:03 PM
DVB,I hope yours is quiet. Like you I havent read to much about the noise and almost all I've heard has been good. Let us know how yours turns out.
mgwhittle, I have the 8407 controller. I checked the firmware lastnight and I think it is the newest versions, I will check them again tonight and write them down to make sure, and update if needed.

I was hoping you had the older hand controller and associated firmware. When I updated to the new hand controller (and required mainboard, RA and DEC board upgrade), my mount got quieter when slewing. Not that it was any louder than other mounts before, but I did notice a difference in motor noise. Ioptron has excellent customer service, I have no doubt they can get your mount running like it should be.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 03:05 AM
I just had it mounted with an ED80, so no taxing weight.
I tried setting the slewing rate to 4 and 5, but that didn't make any difference to the sound. I stopped, because I didn't want to bother the neighbours.
I wonder if there is more adjustment I can make to the slewing rate to quiet it down?
Too bad if this noise becomes a deal breaker - there is a lot to like about this mount.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 03:08 AM
so i guess if the $$spendy$$ mount is noisy when slewing, they all would be.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 05:54 AM
"5.10. Set Slewing Rate
You can select the maximum GOTO speed to be 128X, 256X, 512X, or MAX. The slower the speed, the quieter the motors run."
Posted 17 September 2012 - 07:26 AM
Using Starry night pro plus for mount control via the serial port on the mount lastnight....whenever I slewed to an object via software the pointer in software would stop short of the object in software and in space. if I manually slewed to the object the pointer in software would move to the object. Also whenever I used the move buttons in software the scope would only move in one direction no matter what button I pressed. This program has worked great with my other mounts.
dvb, glad to hear (or not hear ) yours is quiet while tracking.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 12:56 PM
Posted 17 September 2012 - 01:40 PM
The scope had been set by default to "MAX", which was too noisy for me.
The other choices are 128x, 256x and 512x. 128x was very quiet, but too slow.
I'll settle at either 256x or 512x, both of which are acceptable, if not exactly the "Goldilocks" position of perfect compromise between noise and speed.
Alignment and target acquisition seem quite good, but more testing is needed.
So, this is with the 80ED. Next up will be the 8" f/4 CF Newt, and then the real test, the 10" f/4.5 Newt (48" long, and about 30 lb.).
Wem, it does sound like you may have some QC problems with your sample. I hope iOptron can sort them out.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 01:49 PM
I would say mine middle of the road slew wise - pretty quiet while tracking, but my mach1 isn't exactly quiet either when I slew (cant hear it tracking by comparison). Are loaded up with the gear in your sigline?
No I only have at most 10lbs on the mount, at65edq and mini guidescope.
Dvb, glad to hear you have found a happy place.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 02:01 PM
and the luckless folks with Takahashi Temma2 Jr. slew at... 120x.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 11:21 PM
512x is pretty good. the atlas slews at a maximum of 800x.
and the luckless folks with Takahashi Temma2 Jr. slew at... 120x.
Of all the things I've felt while watching my Tak slew, luckless is not one of them.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 12:11 AM
actually my AP600 GoTo conversion slews at 160X which is quite close to the luckless Temma2 Jr.
my point simply was there are folks out there even with high-end stuff like Tak who live with low slew speeds. But you have a Temma2, so you don't need to watch it slew at 120X.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 02:56 AM
My mount is fine when tracking, But very noisy when going to the object. So bad that it's sets next door dog of barking and the dog at the bottom of our garden.
I sold mine and just got the skywatcher NEQ6 mount now it's nice and quiet.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 04:37 AM
but really, is it that bad? seems a bit unbelievable.
well the Tak mounts and NEQ6 are stepper mounts (same as my AP600 conversion) and yes they're quiet.
As an added bonus, stepper motors are pretty much indestructible. My AP600's stock motors were made in 1981. And still worked.
Servo motors if they are stalled / jammed and the motor control circuit is not properly done, you can burn out either the motor or the circuit (a known problem on CGEM's).
Posted 18 September 2012 - 10:16 AM
I also have a Skywatcher NEQ6, which is quieter, and a real stalwart - but, also a lot heavier, and lacks some of the tricks of the iEQ45, like an adjustable brightness polar scope reticle.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 10:54 AM
Posted 18 September 2012 - 11:22 AM
No quite what I was expecting, looks like I got a loud one.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 11:27 AM
The most recent EQ-6es do have an adjustment for the reticle illuminator.
Glad to hear. I do think Skywatcher has some catching up to do with some of the innovations of iOptron. I hope to do a comparison between the NEQ-6 and iEQ45 at some point.
I still haven't decided whether to hang on to the NEQ6 - it will depend on whether the iEQ45 really can carry my 10" f/4.5 Newt (at 48" and 30 lb.) with the same aplomb as the NEQ6.
Also, I'm unsure of the cold weather performance of the iEQ45 - the specs say it's good to -20º C, and the hand controller seems to have a built-in warming function.

Matt and Ted (rowing) in the hard dinghy. The choice of dinghies in Santa Catarina (where I bought this one) was quite limited, and this one has more modifications (mostly raising the freeboard) required to make it suitable for our purposes. It does row well.
Issuma has three dinghies, which is a bit excessive, but nice if you can store them all. There is an inflatable (with an outboard engine), the above hard dinghy, and a Nautiraid folding dinghy (which has been the main dinghy used for the last 1.5 years). The folding dinghy stores easily belowdecks, the hard dinghy is stored on deck, and the inflatable is, with some work, stored inside the hard dinghy.
Have look at very nice and practical dingy plan: The Danny Greene 'Chameleon'. . .
The folks at Bebi did one in aluminum. I have a set of plans and have started lofting a scale model. Would like to do it in Alum. but have more pressing projects in the near term.

While we continue working on the boat, other people are sailing :). The picture is of a 49er--a class of boats--that has just set its spinnaker (the dark sail). South American 49er races were held in Uruguay last weekend, and we had a good view of the boats leaving and entering the harbor before and after their races.

49er tacking.

Thu Oct 29 16:25:11 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
We've been busy working on a bunch of projects on the boat. Nothing really exicting, just a bunch of stuff that needs doing.
Tied up next to us on the dock is one of the Montevideo Pilot boats (pilots go out to meet big ships at sea, board the ships and help them into the port). The platform on the top of the boat is to allow the pilot to step off the boat and onto the boarding ladder of the ship.
Today was a pleasant, sunny, 30 degree (86 degrees Fahrenheit) day, and there was a photo shoot on the pilot boat. It seemed to warrant a picture (perhaps this just means I've been on a boat too long :) ).
Tue Oct 27 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Atlantic Ocean
This is the first boat I've done much sailing on that had roller reefing (sails that roll in and out by pulling on ropes from the cockpit instead of going forward and raising and lowering them).
Previously, I did not think much of roller-reefing--it is expensive, complicated, adds windage and weight up high, and a big problem if it breaks. I discussed this with Yann, the previous owner, who said he wouldn't want to sail the boat without roller furling, due mostly to how wet one would have to get to handle the sails. At sea, you try to avoid getting wet as much as possible, because you often don't have dry clothes available to change into afterwards.
Now that I've sailed this boat a fair bit, I'm really glad it does have roller-reefing, despite the disadvantages mentioned above. Issuma goes to windward quickly enough that the foredeck (front of the boat) can be a very wet place, as seen in the picture, so being able to completely control the headsails from the cockpit is a really nice feature.
Sun Oct 25 6:38:56 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
It seemed that almost every car in Montevideo was on the street last Sunday promoting the election to be held today.
Fri Oct 23 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Piriapolis, Uruguay

Looks great!
Wed Oct 21 6:15:32 EDT 2009, Piriapolis, Uruguay
Piriapolis is a pretty resort town in Uruguay. It is popular among foreign yachts for its haulout facilities.
I stayed in Punta del Este for a day, where two of my new crew, Matt and Ted came aboard with the assistance of the ever-helpful Yacht Club Punta del Este. We then day-sailed in very pleasant weather to Piriapolis, then Montevideo (port of Buceo).
Sailing with experienced crew is a lot easier than singlehanding :).
Wish they had been there for the anchor flaling and the full force gale.
I suppose they'll have their chances in a maelstrom.
- George
Ben is now aboard also, so I have three crew!

Video: 9News Now Anchor JC Hayward Goes In For Surgery
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- 9News Now anchor JC Hayward is now out of surgery, and her first words, according to 9News Now colleague and anchor Andrea Roane were, "Does anybody have lipstick?"
She is recovering just nicely and she's expecting to be resting, at home, by Wednesday night.
JC took some time to take photos before going in for surgery Wednesday morning.
JC announced last week that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Earlier this week, she was told that a second lesion in her breast is benign.
Originally, JC was going to have a double bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstructive surgery immediately afterwards, but now she is having a lumpectomy.
JC explains in on JCHayward.com, "When you have a lumpectomy, basically only the the cancerous tissue and some normal tissue will be removed. I probably will be in the hospital for a day maybe two but I will be back to work on Monday."

Driver Tased 13 Times During DUI Arrest
The annals of overzealous police behavior are full of shocking tales, but few are as unsettling as the recent allegations that a man was tased 13 times by police officers after a DUI arrest.
According to a recent report in the Santa Barbara Independent, 50-year-old Tony Denunzio was tased repeatedly by arresting officers after being pulled over for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
Both Denunzio and witnesses of the incident claim that officer Aaron Tudor punched, kneed and tased Denunzio after the Tudor pulled him over for DUI Charges, even though Denunzio allegedly did not resist the arrest.
A mug shot of Denunzio taken a few hours after the arrest shows a badly bruised man with a contusion on his right eye and cuts on his forehead and cheeks. During the arrest, Denunzio also suffered a broken nose, broken ribs, and an injured wrist.
While both sides have their own stories—police claim Denunzio resisted the arrest, while he claims that police had no reason to beat him—extra intrigue was added to the case when authorities revealed that the entire episode had been caught on a patrol vehicle camera.
Currently, the police video is not yet available, and information about Denunzio's level of drunkenness has also not been released, so investigators are left with competing narratives about the night.
According to the story told by police, Tudor pulled Denunzio over after the driver had executed a series of quick lane changes without using his turn signal.
Police further alleged that, after he left his truck, Denunzio started walking away from Tudor. When Tudor grabbed the driver's arm, Denunzio resisted the physical contact. This forced Tudor to trip Denunzio and apparently slap him several times in the head.
These slaps allegedly did not subdue the driver, so Tudor eventually resorted to punching and kicking the arrestee. When these proved inadequate, and Denunzio continued to resist, Tudor began to use his Taser, which was activated 13 times.
Witnesses, however, offered a different story. According to some people on the scene, Denunzio left his car without knowing that he was being pursued by a police officer.
When Tudor yelled at him to stop, witnesses claim that Denunzio obliged and did not actively resist the arrest. In his defense, Denunzio also claimed that that he did not physically challenge Tudor, and instead "laid down like a kitten" when the officer grabbed him.
In response to public outcry over the incident, a spokesman for the Santa Barbara Police Department said that police officials had reviewed the tape of the altercation and concluded that Tudor did not violate police regulations.
While it may take authorities more time to conclude who acted irresponsibly in this incident, it is fair to say that Denunzio could have handled the situation better.
DUI arrests may lead to some fines or possible jail time, but their effects can be compounded by aggressive behavior after the arrest. Other drivers would be well advised to mind their manners in the presence of police.

Resolve conflicting accounts
You may find that some of your users create a personal Google Account using your email address at your company or school. If you then sign up for a Google for Work product and add those users to your organization's account, they'll have the same address in both their personal and work Google Account, which creates a conflicting account. When they next sign in to their personal Google Account, they'll be asked to resolve this conflicting account.What is a conflicting account?
A conflicting account exists if a user created a personal Google Account with the same email address as a Google for Work account managed by your organization. Conflicting accounts most commonly occur if your users signed in to Picasa Web Albums, Blogger, or other Google services, before your organization signed up for Google for Work services.
What isn't a conflicting account? Personal Google accounts that don't use your organization's Google address as either the primary or alias email address. For example, a personal Gmail account (email@example.com) with no alias addresses is never a conflicting account.
After you add users who then have conflicting accounts, they're prompted to rename their personal Google Account the next time they sign in. All data within their personal account remains in the account when it's renamed.
If the user has added their organization-managed address as an alternate email address (or email alias) in their personal Google Account, the alias is removed from the personal accounts and the user sees this notification of change the next time they sign in.
Here are two suggestions on how to avoid conflicting accounts:
- Don't delete a user from your Google Account to address a conflicting account if that person is actively using your Google services for mail, calendar, and other services. Instead, resolve the conflict.
- Before adding users to your Google Account, ask them if they've created a personal Google Account using your organization's email address. If they have, ask them to rename their personal account. When they do this, the data in their personal accounts remains safe and accessible to them.
If you've already created the user's Google Account, the next time that user signs in to a consumer product, they'll be asked to change their account. For example, if email@example.com has a conflicting account with your organization, Jane would see these options when she signs into a consumer product:
- Change to an account with a Gmail address (firstname.lastname@example.com or another available Gmail name).
- Change to an account with a different email address (uses her firstname.lastname@example.com address).
- Sign in with a temporary username Google provides (firstname.lastname@example.com).
In all cases, the data in the user's personal accounts remains safe and accessible to them.

Madison Hudson drops "Too Shy" on iTunes today!
The 14 year old music phenom from Wheatland, California released her latest single "Too Shy," on iTunes today(UPDATE – now available on Amazon). This is her 3rd single to be released
Hudson's first single "I Don't Care," was released when she was only 13. She followed that up with "Tommy," which has a great driving beat and allowed Hudson to showcase her vocals, punctuating the reason I believe this young lady is headed for the big time. You can also view "Tommy" on Youtube featuring some of her friends.
So what do we have to look forward to with "Too Shy?" It's a catchy tune with a memorable chorus that will have listeners singing along after their first listen. There's also some great guitar work interspersed throughout the song.
According to Hudson, "Too Shy" is really about her personality and how she's always been the shy type.
It's a great tune that tells a story of how she wants to let someone know how much she cares for them but she's too shy. While the lyrics are pretty much what you'd expect from a 14 year old, her sound is not so typical and you can hear as you listen to each of her singles how she is quickly growing as an artist.
Go over to iTunes or Amazon and check it out!
Better yet, buy all three of her singles to show your support and then you can tell all your friends you heard her first!

TUSA's patented Advanced Weight Loading System (A.W.L.S.) allows the diver to insert weight into both left and right weight cartridges eliminating the need for a weight belt. Rear trim pockets combine with the A.W.L.S. to optimally balance the weight load on each TUSA integrated BC jacket.
Independent Harness System (I.H.S.)
The Independent Harness System isolates the BC jacket's harness from the air cell, tightly supporting the tank even with changes in air cell inflation/deflation. The I.H.S. prevents tank slippage and eliminates any gaps between the tank and your back.
Ultimate Stabilizing Harness (U.S.H.)
TUSA's Ultimate Stabilizing Harness completely eliminates tank roll and delivers an amazing fit. The U.S.H. securely holds the air cylinder in place with optimally placed rails and brings the tank closer to the body increasing tank control while reducing weight.
Service and Repair (BCJ)
Q: Can I get replacement AWLS pockets for my BCJ?
Yes, replacement Velcro and mechanical AWLS integrated weight pockets are available, please contact your TUSA authorized retailer.
Q: My BCJ bladder is leaking air or has been punctured, can it be patched?
Your BCJ will have to be evaluated to determine if the size and location of the puncture can be repaired. Please contact your local authorized TUSA retailer.
Q: What is the proper care and maintenance of my BC?
Rinse the outside and inside of the BCJ with warm fresh water thoroughly to stop the formation of salt crystals on vital components. This should be done as soon as possible post-dive and prior to allowing your BCJ to dry. Once rinsed, line dry completely and store partially inflated in a cool dry place away from heat, electric motors and other sources of ozone. To maintain the BCJ, annual service/inspection by an Authorized TUSA retailer is required. This is also a prerequisite to retain the warranty.
