Many skin care products are designed to be quickly applied and then removed. While they provide important benefits during that time, it can be useful to sometimes allow the ingredients in formulas some extra time to work in a different way with the skin tissues. The extra minutes that Clark's Botanicals Masks give to skin care is time well spent. The rich suites of botanical extracts, minerals, vitamins and plant-derived ingredients are allowed to transfer their qualities to the skin cells, as they nourish, heal, purify and strengthen the tissues. Gentle, but effective, Clark's Botanicals Masks provide a spa experience at home.
Used as part of a skin care regimen, Clark's Botanicals Masks provide an intense skin therapy. The period of contact with the skin allows the ingredients to work with the skin tissues, providing a concentrated healing and purifying benefits. Spend the time while the masks do their work, relaxing and enjoying the feeling of renewal. The ingredients in Clark's Botanicals Masks are carefully selected to work in partnership with each other, with results that last long after the masks are washed off.
The application of face masks has a long history in skin care because of their effectiveness. As a technique that allows longer contact with the skin, their constituent ingredients work their way through the skin barrier into the deeper tissues, where a more intense therapy can be achieved. The formulas of Clark's Botanicals Masks continue in that tradition, providing a range of benefits to purify and renew the skin.
Oily skin requires great care in treatment: Overly aggressive removal of excess sebum and other oils can result in dry, damaged skin. Using a gentle method of absorption, nourishing and re-moisturizing, Clark's Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask purifies and rejuvenates skin, while balancing moisture levels. Working over a period of 25 to 30 minutes, the refined kaolin, magnesium aluminum silicate and bentonite (all of which are natural mineral compounds) in the formula gently soak up excess oils. Algae extract provides nourishment for the skin tissues, while plant-derived glycerin and glycol add moisturizing benefits. The result is a clear, smooth and balanced skin.
Complexions that are dry, aging or damaged by exposure to the sun can all be helped with Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask. The rich suite of ingredients in the mask heals, hydrates and provides anti-aging benefits. Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) leaf extract has long been used to heal and renew damaged skin, and green tea extract is a powerful antioxidant. Vegetable-derived glycerin and glycol moisturize, while vitamin E and Camellia oleifera leaf extract help strengthen the moisture barrier to keep skin hydrated.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
perfect for me
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This is exactly what I was looking for. It fits great, definitely runs true to size. I was looking for a lighter layer that would still give me some warmth- This isn't a heavy NF jacket so if that's what you're looking for this isn't the jacket for you. Easy to clean and great for layering.
Not as heavy as I would have liked
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Very comfortable and great for layering.
Gift to Me !
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This is my first North Face fleece. I've got other fleece jackets, but this is truly the softest one yet ! I'm really happy with this jacket. The fit is nice, not to tight, not to loose, but gently fitted. The sleeves are a bit long, but I like that. It's sort of a princess fit, so gives you an extra feminine look. I got the Prussian Blue, which I wasn't sure what it would be like, but it gorgeous. Not being a real blue fan didn't think I would love it, but I do. It's not exactly blue, not exactly teal, but a combination of both. This jacket is fairly thin, so layers nicely under other jackets. Great for around the house, or when it's a bit warmer out.
Gift for Girlfriend
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
The sizing was spot on and she loves the jacket. She says that it is very warm and she wears it all the time. Would recommend!
it's "OK"
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I ordered the black in a size small. I am 5'5 and about 135lbs. This jackets fits very well. Just a matter of personal preference I would have preferred a more black looking jackets. This one seems a little less black. I purchase this solely to keep in the truck of my car for those days when its super cold inside a movie theater or restaurant so it will get some use. All in all it has been a good buy at a good price.
Not as advertized
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
Snagged the Electro Coral Orange for my girlfriend on SAC for a decent price. Was pretty unhappy with it when it got here. Much less Coral colors and much more Electro-Crossing-Guard-Orange. Also around the wrists, hood, and pockets is a purple band. See my attached photo. She didnt care for it either, we returned it. I hate false advertising. ///////Update, the new photo they added after my review is true to its design, that wasnt there previously.
thank you! I love coral and I am glad I did not order this color!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Came without thumb holes.
Masonic Hooded Fleece Jacket
I absolutely love this jacket. It is thin enough I can wear it all the time that way I will have it on when I take my outer Northface coat off. It is so very soft!!!! I bought one in white and one in grey. I would highly recommend it !!!!!!!!

Deputies: Employee bought A/C units through company, sold them and pocketed cash
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 12:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 12:32 p.m.
Sheriff's officials on Thursday charged a former employee of an air conditioning business with grand theft and dealing in stolen property.
In total, officials believe, the business lost $103,760.76.
The owner of Sun Kool Air Conditioning told deputies last month that he had found out one of his employees, William Robert Benson, 49, had been stealing money from the company.
The owner said his investigation revealed that for the past 2½ years, Benson allegedly ordered A/C units through the company and then sold them to customers and employees on the side. Benson reportedly pocketed the cash received from the transactions.
An audit was conducted, and company officials found more than 50 falsified purchase orders, which showed 58 units ordered for construction jobs instead went to others.
Employees interviewed said they would ask Benson for a price on an air conditioner and he would order the unit. They said they would give Benson cash for the units.
Benson told detectives the scam began around November 2010. He said employees would approach him and request an A/C for a family member or friend. He would give them a price, then create a false purchase order. After receiving the money from the employee for the unit, he would keep it.
Benson estimates he stole approximately $54,000 in A/C unit and equipment sales. He said he stole $1,500 in sales of scrap metal from the business.
Records obtained from the business by authorities show the company lost $97,375.76 in air conditioning sales and equipment over the past two years. Those records also indicate Benson received $8,685 for scrap sales between October and the end of December 2012. Of that amount, he reportedly gave the company $2,300.
A woman who answered the phone at the business Friday said Benson was no longer an employee of the company.

Hands carry great symbolism and mystique. In dance, art, and religion, hand gestures convey elaborate messages. In modern society, hand gestures also hold significant meaning. The joining of hands in matrimony, a smartly executed salute, or the raising of a fist in anger are powerful actions. Hands also serve a decorative function when adorned with rings or painted with henna and nail polishes. AHAVA understands the important role that hands play. They have developed AHAVA Hand Creams to nurture and nourish these important parts of the body.
The Dead Sea region has been renowned as a therapeutic spa since ancient times, due to its unique geology. The highly-salinated water and mineral-infused mud have beneficial properties when applied to the skin. AHAVA Hand Creams take these exceptional ingredients and blend them with natural plant extracts to address the specific needs of skin on the hands. Exposure to the elements takes its toll. Hands can become dry with rough, scaly patches of skin. AHAVA Hand Creams are comprised of scientifically-tested formulations, which deliver vital vitamins and minerals deep in to the epidermis to nourish and protect.
To provide long-lasting protection for hardworking hands, AHAVA Hand Creams form a natural barrier between the skin and the environment. Moisture is locked in and hands are shielded from the damaging effects of the sun and wind. The skin on the hands is nourished with unique blends of minerals, vitamins, and plant extracts.
Nurture and protect your hands with AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream. This light, soothing cream is easily absorbed. It leaves hands feeling soft and supple with no greasy residue. Allantoin repairs dry, cracked skin, while witch hazel refreshes and revitalizes your hands. Skin feels smoother and blemishes are reduced. Apply regularly to guard your hands against damage caused by the elements and the environment. This intensely hydrating hand cream is available for a limited time in a larger, value-sized tube. Treat your hands to added protection from the winter weather with AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream – 50 Percent More.
Restore and revitalize dry, scaly skin with AHAVA Dermud Intensive Hand Cream. This non-greasy, fragrance-free cream is suitable for the most sensitive skin. It is rapidly absorbed to nourish and hydrate rough, chapped hands. As you massage this concentrated formula from fingers to wrist, witch hazel and aloe vera extract heal and comfort irritated skin. AHAVA's unique OsmoterTM mineral complex replenishes and rejuvenates, while jojoba seed oil seals in moisture for all-day protection. This soothing formula reduces the redness and itchiness that can accompany dry skin. For optimal results, use regularly throughout the day, particularly after washing your hands.

Systematic variation of Art Deco capitals in Cassandre's posters led to Anisette. Rich contrasts in width and weight of hand-lettered geometry suggested a hidden typographic opportunity. In 1930, Deberny & Peignot released Banjo Initials, adapting a hairline weight for two widths of type. Jean-Francois Porchez completed the typographic system with a five-weight series of striking geometric beauty and great complexity; FB 1997
Among other uses, Anisette is recommended for Magazine, Book and Corporate use.

DETROIT (AP) — Officials say a bat that was found unable to fly in a Detroit park has tested positive for rabies.
The Institute for Population Health says the bat was euthanized after being found April 24 in Palmer Park and testing came back last week from the state.
The Michigan Department of Community Health says it's the second bat that has tested positive for rabies in Michigan this year.
Officials are warning people to take precautions to prevent the possible spread of rabies.
The rabies virus usually is transmitted from animal to animal. Humans can become infected through animal bites or other close contact.

"Watching it on TV, you got the sense that nothing was impossible," remembers Dunsire, "That ultimately things can change. There's never a need to accept something as a given."
Don't accept the given. It's an idea that resonates throughout Dunsire's life as well as her career. Born of parents lacking even high school education, Dunsire has used her own learning to traverse the world. She took an insignificant oncology unit at Novartis and built it into one of the company's crown jewels, along the way rewriting the story of cancer care for patients by leading the introduction of such important drugs as Gleevec. As CEO of Millennium Pharmaceuticals, her vision has been a game changer for the company, turning an underperforming biotech into a robust center of oncology excellence by way of a nearly $9 billion acquisition by Takeda.Dunsire is one of the few female biotech CEOs (and almost certainly the only one who speaks fluent Afrikaans). Part of her success, say those who know her, is that she has always been governed by who she is—a physician who got her start treating the poor in Johannesburg, a mother and wife, and a deeply religious woman as well as a business leader.
"Deborah is warm and caring as well as strong and decisive," says Linda Heath, her executive assistant. "When she speaks, we clearly see that her head is that of a leader and her heart is that of a healer."
Her achievements have earned Dunsire the Healthcare Businesswoman's Association 2009 Woman of the Year Award, a prestigious recognition that has been bestowed on executives such as Charlotte Sibley, Meryl Zausner, and Susan Desmond-Hellman. This year's designation is made even more special given that the WOTY Award—which has helped recognize and advance women's leadership in the industry—is celebrating its 20th anniversary, while Dunsire also celebrates 20 years of career achievement.
Deborah Dunsire started her career by following a simple lesson that has only become more true as the years have passed: "You can't be too sure of the path you're on because you might shut down some side roads that are incredibly important."

Miss USA 2010 Arrested for Drunk Driving
According to the tireless celebrity watchdogs at TMZ, the 2010 winner of the Miss USA pageant was recently arrested for a DUI, which added an exclamation point to a scandal-ridden year for the beauty queen, Rima Fakih.
Sources indicate the Fakih was arrested last week in Highland Park, Michigan when the police suspected her of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Despite the official police report, and the fact that criminal arrests are part of the public record, Fakih bizarrely denied the initial report. This weekend, she tweeted, "let's clear things up now… I'm NOT in Michigan and I'm NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih."
Alas, cooler heads eventually prevailed, as her DUI attorney later told the Detroit Free-Press that his famous client was, in fact, the Rima Fakih who had been arrested for a DUI in Highland Park, Michigan.
Since her attorney admitted that she had been arrested for a DUI, Fakih removed the false tweet from her Twitter account and expressed remorse, through her attorney, for the "situation that she is in right now."
The alleged DUI incident adds another scandal to an increasingly large list of public transgressions for the Miss USA winner.
Sources indicate that Fakih was exposed as a former stripper by a Michigan radio show just one day after she won the 2010 Miss USA contest.
While the news that she had been a pole dancer didn't immediately disqualify her from serving as Miss USA, the image-conscious competition certainly lamented the fact that there were pictures floating around the Internet of the contest winner engaging in pole-dancing competitions.
In addition to the rumors and innuendos surrounding her past career, Fakih was also targeted by critics for allegedly partying too much after she won the Miss USA crown.
While Fakih now faces real legal trouble, which is potentially more damaging than rumors about partying and dancing, she entered the Miss USA pageant as a hero to many young girls, particularly those of Arab descent.
Sources indicate that Fakih was probably the first woman of Muslim and Arab descent to win the Miss USA competition. Fakih's family had immigrated from to the United States from Lebanon when she was a baby and eventually settled in Michigan.
Even more interestingly, Fakih's family celebrates both the Muslim and Christian faiths, which made her a particularly appealing candidate in the Miss USA contest.
Fakih was also the first Miss Michigan to win the competition since 1993. After she was crowned Miss USA, she participated in the Miss Universe contest but did not win.
Needless to say, Fakih has seen better days, but her DUI arrest does not necessarily mean that she will have to lose her car. Punishment for first-time offenders often involves some jail time, fines, or the possibility of a temporarily suspended license.

Although specific businesses were not mentioned, Anthony Cafaro Jr., co-president of the Cafaro Co., owner of the Ohio Valley Mall, had some encouraging words about new businesses coming to the retail center in the not too distant future.
He confirmed that active negotiations are ongoing with a wide range of business in hopes of attracting them to the mall. And Cafaro was confident the results of those negotiations should soon be evident.
I caught up with him during a brief break in the colorful pageantry being staged last weekend to commemorate the completion of a multi-million renovation of the mall to ask about the future.
"In the area that was recently cleared we're talking to restaurants, hotels and other businesses about locating there," Cafaro stated. He was referring to the area where the former Rax Restaurant building was razed leaving a large undeveloped area. But he declined to identify any of businesses they are dealing with.
As another member of the Cafaro staff that attended the reopening celebration pointed out, "they don't give out the name of a prospective business until they have their signature on a contract." And that exact explanation has been repeated to me a hundred times or more by George Diab, manager of the mall.
Cafaro did shed light on the identity of one business they are dealing with. When I asked him about the Boscov department store that was rumored a year ago to be possibly locating here, he replied, "It's one of the potentials we're looking to fill the vacancy left by JCPenney. There are many more."
Boscov's was started with one store in Reading, Pa. in 1911, and has expanded now to 40 stores - 24 of them in Pennsylvania and the others in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. If a store is established at the mall, it would be the first one in Ohio.
Before concluding the main reopening ceremony, Cafaro presented two community service organization heads with $5,000 checks each for their work. Recipients of the check were Major Louis Patrick of the Salvation Army in Bellaire and Gary Obloy, director of the Belmont County Community Action Commission.
Mall merchants enjoyed a busy sales weekend as a result of the lavish reopening ceremony. There were 200 shoppers who received $15 gift certificates and Candi Noble-Greathouse, marketing director, said "hundreds of shoppers" took advantage of getting $25 in free merchandise with the expenditure of $75.
Several other businesses inside the mall did some remodeling of their own while the renovation was underway. Garfield's Restaurant & Pub was closed for about two weeks while it was undergoing some changes. "We tripled the size of our bar," manager Matt Kline declared. "We now have space for 32 instead of just seven. And we added five television sets." Some other decorative changes were made but Kline said the seating capacity remained about the same.
Spencer's gift outlet relocated the entire store. It moved across the corridor to a much larger location. A new store, "Threading Brows Spa" opened and the Gold Buyers at the Mall moved from a kiosk in the corridor into a spacious storefront just off the Macy's court. Since the opening celebration, five new businesses have set up shop for the Christmas season. They include "Go! Games & Toys" and "Go! Calendars," the "Fun Factory" which is filled with large inflatables that children can bounce around on; the Shirt Place and a regular seasonal attraction, Hickory Farms.
Christine Palmer left the warmth and sunshine of Florida earlier this month to come back to the cold and soon to be sometimes frigid Ohio Valley, and to her home in Shadyside.
She had several excellent reasons for doing so. The first, but not necessarily the main one, was that on Nov. 7 she became a member of the Belmont County courthouse staff, assuming the duties of human resources manager, a position vacated last month by Mike Kinter.
While she enjoyed her job as human resource manager at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, she has two daughters, Braelynn, 11, and Kya, 8, who weren't too impressed with the sunshine state. "They didn't want to stay there. They wanted to be back in Shadyside to go to school and to be with their friends," Palmer explained.
So the girls went back to Shadyside to be with their father and Mom stayed on the job at the space center. But she immediately started job hunting because "my family comes first and I wanted to be back in Shadyside with my daughters."
Palmer had been at the space center just seven months, having been transferred there from the Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino & Racetrack where she had been employed for over nine years. It was an internal transfer since both businesses are owned by the Delaware North Co.
It wasn't necessary to ask if she was glad to be back home. It was very obvious from hearing her tell about her experience.
About two weeks ago, Bubba Kapral, astute and popular managing editor of the Martins Ferry Times Leader, penned an article about a Life Magazine story from 50 years ago that some residents felt was anything but flattering to Martins Ferry, Bellaire and the entire Ohio Valley.
I am very familiar with the genesis of that article and the intention of the individual who "sold" the magazine on the article. The idea for it came from the late Arnold Lazarus, who back then was the city editor of the Wheeling News-Register and also a stringer for Life Magazine.
Lazarus's intention was to show how small industrial cities like Martins Ferry and Bellaire produced more than their share of tough young men who went on to college and then into the professional football ranks. The main premise Lazarus offered the magazine was that a high school graduate had the choice of either playing football or working in the steel mills.
Lazarus never mentioned it but I do not believe he accompanied the magazine writer during the week he spent in the two cities compiling his story. I do know he went to a football game in Martins Ferry with the Life reporter because I went along.
Although there were complaints about some of the material in the magazine, my recollection is there were many more rave notices about the article - many along the lines of that offered Kapral by Gene Joseph, a retired Martins Ferry educator and coach. His comment to the magazine article: "In reality, that was the way it was. You either went to school to play football in college or you went to work in the mines or the mill."
One Belmont County veteran received a surprise, special tribute during the Veterans Day ceremony held Monday at the Belmont County courthouse plaza.
John Ciesielka of Fairpoint was cited in a resolution of honor adopted by the Belmont County Commission, not only for his service to the country but also for " selfless deeds and service" performed in assisting other area veterans over the past 50 years as an active member of the American Legion.
The resolution, which was read during Monday's service by commissioner Ginny Favede, noted that after serving our country's call to duty during the Korean War era, Ciesielka "has spent countless hours serving our veterans by volunteering his time, energy and resources along with serving the American Legion for over 50 years."
In addition the resolution notes Ciesielka "assists veteran's widows and their families ... and is a liaison between the local VA office and veterans and their families. John gives of himself freely and without compensation. He epitomizes excellence in character, courage, sacrifice and patriotism as he continues in his mission to provide assistance to veterans and their families in times of need, in times of sickness and death."
Ciesielka currently serves as commander of the Belmont County Council of American Legion. He was unaware of the citation until it was read at the service. The commission adopted it on Nov. 7.
When gasoline prices started a brief decline in price in October, motorists were viewing it as an election ploy. More than once these words were uttered: As soon as the election is over the price will start going up.
Those motorists were so right. Less than a week after the election some stations hiked the price of a gallon of gasoline by five cents. But then last Wednesday, there was another hike ranging from 12 to 16 cents a gallon. That sets the lowest price at stations around the county seat at $3.599 a gallon for the lowest grade of gasoline.
Charles "Chick" Clark, formerly of Bridgeport and now a resident of the Shadyside Care Center, recorded a "first" on his 100th birthday on Saturday. To commemorate the occasion, Danny Young, president of the Lansing Sportsmen's Club, went to the center to present him with a plaque. "He is the first member of the club to reach the century mark in age," Young noted.
"We're going to hang the plaque on the wall in the club," Young added. With that, Clark will be recording another "first" since it will be the first one to be so displayed. "Clark's been a loyal member of the club," Young noted. "He's been a member since it was established."

Cease the Grease: Free Cooking Oil Disposal
Tired of calling the plumber? Why not fix the problem before it starts? Choose to not pour grease down the drain and prevent pipe blockage. Stop by the City of Carrollton Central Service Center (2711 Nimitz Lane) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily on Monday, November 26 and Tuesday, November 27 to properly dispose of grease and cooking oil for free. Proper disposal of grease will keep it out of the sewer system and away from causing damage to sewage and drain pipes and the environment.
City of Carrollton Water Utilities asks that citizens choose to never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets; always scrape grease and food scraps from plates, pots, pans, utensils and grills into a can or the trash for disposal; and do not put grease down the garbage disposal. Put baskets/strainers in the sink drains to catch solids and empty them into the trash. If everyone takes preventative measures there will be less plumbing issues in homes and no sewage overflows into parks, yards or streets. For more information, contact Water Utilities at 972-466-3425.

Video: 2 Dead In House Fire
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WUSA) -- A Falls Church home burst into flames Thursday, claiming two lives.
Fire investigators have not determined a cause. Washington Gas employees have been on site for most of the day.
While the medical examiner is in the process of identifying the badly burned bodies, neighbors and friends say that a mother and daughter were renting the house on Manor Road near Oak Ridge Road in Falls Church.
Neighbors also say the two were hearing-impaired and that the mother, Laura Snyder Gardner was a teacher at Gallaudet University. Her daughter Mary Ann was a junior in high school on the Gallaudet University campus.
Steve Klass says he was woken up by what he says sounded like an explosion and he heard the mother scream.
"I heard my neighbor scream twice, not long intense screams but I heard her scream and I recognized her voice," he said.
Fire investigators say two dogs and eight cats perished. The cause of the fire has not been determined yet.
Official identification may come Thursday.

DENVER - A criminal who was being deported from the United States escaped from law enforcement at Denver International Airport Tuesday morning.
Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were escorting Phoday Dumbuya, 25, when he escaped, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement news release. He was being deported to Gambia.
Dumbuya was still on the loose Tuesday afternoon after escaping about 8:30 a.m.
Dumbuya was not in handcuffs, sources tell the 9Wants to Know investigators.
He is a black male, 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 175 pounds.
He pleaded guilty in 2008 to misdemeanor third-degree assault and was sentenced to 120 days in jail and two years of probation, according to a Denver County District Attorney spokesperson.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman did not confirm the escape until about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, more than four-and-a-half hours after 9NEWS asked for confirmation.
ICE officers started immediately searching for Dumbuya and asked other law enforcement agencies to assist.

Something just doesn't seem right. Perhaps I'm imagining things or overreacting, but I'd like your guys opinion... I keep hearing a rattling noise almost like pinging (sounds like a marble in a paint can), but it occurs at certain RPM's. Giving more or less throttle gets rid of it, and it doesn't matter if it's under load or not. Maybe it's just a loose bolt somewhere?
Sounds exactly like my issue, AgentX. I checked the timing about 5 times, and it's spot on. I might try advancing it anyway just to see what happens. Also, I'm running 100 octane. Just filled up with 91 to see if that makes a difference. Usually when I hear a ping think "is that pinging?", give a bit more throttle and it gets louder, then I think "yep, definitely pinging." This however, is just like you describe. Only certain RPM's, and uphill or straightaway makes it no worse or better. I looked around for things that might rattle, and even held my keys while riding to see if that was it. But it really seems to be coming from the engine.I made some adjustments to my idle screws and now it idle's fairly well and hasn't died or made scary noises like that ka-chunk, though I'm getting some backfires when engine braking so I think I'm a bit rich.
Ace....as in the main rod bearing?.. or other bushings all over?.. or crank bearings?... Ace.. think i read you mention something on ceramic bearing.. was that concerning the wheel bearings?.. or did you replace main crank with ceramic bearings?I been thinking alot on this lately... replacing everything with higher qual bearings.. all throughout... ceram if possible.. slight perf increase?
Backfiring on engine braking means your throttle is closed, and that puts the carb on the pilot circuit.So, that's what you have to adjust. Use your little angled screw.I can't tell you which way to turn it, because it can happen with too rich or too lean. Too lean is more common, but it can happen either way.
The sound your hearing "sounds" to me like a rod bearing to me. ERC

With back pain and wrist strains an everyday occurrence in most offices, experts are touting ergonomic education as a way to cure what ails the aching employee.
James Mallon, executive vice president of Humantech Inc., an ergonomics improvement company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said developing a well-designed, ergonomically friendly office space is an important aspect of any business.
Having a comfortable office can lessen workers discomfort and pain, he said, adding: "If we're comfortable, we'll be there more."
Humantech recently released an e-book that details how to improve the ergonomic design of the workplace. According to the company, the e-book "outlines the ergonomic principles that will help you establish a productive, comfortable and safe place to work, resulting in fewer injuries and illnesses."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines ergonomics as the scientific study of people at work. "The goal of ergonomics is to reduce stress and eliminate injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting and equipment to fit the employee's physical capabilities and limitations," according to the CDC.
The biggest risks associated with having a poorly designed office in terms of ergonomics are musculoskeletal injuries, or soft-tissue injuries, according to Humantech's e-book.
The most frequent types of injuries suffered by office workers are lower-back pain, neck and shoulder pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Although carpal tunnel is the most well known office injury, it is not as common as lower-back pain, and neck and shoulder pain, Mallon says. Carpal tunnel syndrome, however, can cost up to $30,000 per employee per corrective procedure, according to the e-book.
In 2010, musculoskeletal injuries made up about 30 percent of all workplace injuries or illnesses that required time away from work, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, the average number of days missed because of a musculoskeletal injury for the entire private sector population was 11 days per incident, according to the study.
Having the proper education and access to ergonomic office accessories are the two most important ways in which an employer can try to eliminate office-related injuries, thereby managing absenteeism and avoiding the associated costs, Mallon said. Sound ergonomics can also make a business more competitive when trying to acquire top talent, he added.
Employers should learn how to provide a workstation for employees that allows them to maintain a neutral position while at their desks, Mallon said. In neutral positions, joints can absorb more stress, and blood flow is not constricted. He said it's important for employees who perform high-repetition tasks like typing to take short five-minute breaks every hour.
Another way people can reduce their risk of ergonomic injuries is by taking time each morning to properly set up their workstation. Employees should make sure their monitors are positioned correctly, that their keyboards are about an arm's length away, and that they're seated correctly with their feet flat on the floor, the e-book says.
Mallon emphasized the most important way for employers to create an ergonomic workplace is by educating themselves and their employees about the subject. "If people understand bad health choices, maybe they'll be more inclined to avoid making those choices," he said.

Halogen Headlight Conversion Kit - Headlight Hop-UpWritten by on June 1, 2010 Give Your Antiquities A Halogen Boost
I can't speak for everyone else, but when it comes to certain safety-related issues that concern any old car I own and drive, there comes a time when function must outweigh form. A good example would be the vehicle's brakes. The last thing I want to do is plow into the back of some idiot whose brake lights aren't working ... or vice versa. Along with ensuring that I've got functioning and very visible rear lighting, I think it's not only important that others see me coming, but that I can see where I'm going as clearly and brightly as possible. To combat the negating of "form", most vehicle safety upgrades can be done very discretely, and that definitely includes converting '30s-40s headlights to halogen-without anyone being the wiser ... till you turn your lights on.
One of the main physical attractions next to its grille (or shall we say to each side) of many prewar makes, are the Art Deco bullet headlights. Unlike their modern descendents with sealed-beam bulbs, updating in the past typically meant sacrificing one of its unique charms-the bulbous, fluted lens. On top of that, re-silvering reflectors isn't cheap either, so even if you were able to incorporate a 12-volt type bulb, you may not really notice the difference in illumination with dull reflectors. There is one other option, however, which will provide the high-intensity glow of a halogen lamp.
Chevs of the 40's not only has a complete halogen conversion kit, but replacement Tilt Ray-style headlamp lenses, trim rings, seals-pretty much anything you could possibly need to modernize those old pre-sealed beam-era relics. And to further update the frontal lighting-both for your sake as well as others'-a Juliano's turn signal kit can easily be incorporated while upgrading your headlights.
To better facilitate the conversion, which wasn't designed specifically for the early Chevy headlamps in the first place, it's probably best to use the original reflectors as a means to mount the new ones. If you no longer have them or your lights were converted to sealed beam at one point (like these), try scrounging up a set of used ones (don't waste your money on a good set-they're not cheap). Fortunately, Bowtie Bits was able to unearth a usable pair of '39 reflectors-but you can also facilitate ones from other years/models. Even with this minor modification on top of the additional turn signal installation, the entire halogen upgrade shouldn't take more than a couple hours, tops.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The halogen kit from Chevs of the 40's can be modified to use its parking lights as turn signals, or you can incorporate a stand-alone setup such as these exterior-mounted signals from Juliano's.If the headlight reflectors look dingy to you, it's probably because they are, and that's the desired condition for this application. Their days of reflecting light are long gone. Now, they'll serve as a means for mounting the new ones, thanks to Bowtie Bits.Since sealed-beam headlights became standard on all vehicles manufactured since 1940, it's not uncommon to find earlier cars and trucks with conversions like this. If that's the case, you can utilize the metal inner base to mount the halogen reflector, but it will require cutting out the majority of the center portion.The original '39 reflector will only require the bulb receptacle area to be enlarged in order for the halogen reflector receptacle to fit. Using a pair of tin snips, the hole was opened up with a series of small cuts that resulted in tabs that, crude as they look, will actually hold the new unit firmly in place.Along with the aid of the halogen bulb's retainer clip, the new reflector ends up pretty secure after the tabs are pressed snugly against it.And because the original reflector is being used, the integrated setup attaches to the headlight bucket just as it was intended to-which also means that unlike the sealed beam conversion, you can now run a fluted glass lens.Prior to this, one of the reasons it wasn't possible to use a Tilt Ray lens, at least not the ones designed for early Chevys, was due to the bottom portion being flat, not round. Using the old reflector overcomes that obstacle, but you'll need to trim the new reflector a tiny bit in order for the lens to seat correctly.
With a little trimming here and there, not only do old and new fit like a glove, you can now install the original-style cork gasket for the lens-just as it was intended. After that has been accomplished, there's nothing else prohibiting the use of the stock glass lens.When it comes to wiring the halogen headlights, it is possible to use original-style Bakelite plugs. However, in this case, a replacement headlight pigtail from Chevs of the 40's was used with the connector plug included in their halogen conversion.In order to use the newer headlight plug, just release the existing wires and, using the same style terminals (open-barrel F-type or twin-lock), install on the pigtail loom-but make sure you insert the high/low and ground terminals in their correct slots.With the halogen conversion handled, all that remains now is installing the Juliano's LED turn signals. The kit comes with detailed instructions-even if you skip the wiring part, make sure and follow the guidelines for mounting, unless you're not concerned with centered, evenly spaced signals.With a template marked on masking tape, before any holes were drilled, the headlight was mounted on the '39-just in case the center of the bucket wasn't actually "centered", it's better to verify now rather than modify later.Even though it goes without saying, always use a rubber grommet anywhere wiring passes through metal. And speaking of wires, the pre-soldered ones for the signals won't extend into the radiator support as the headlight loom does-you'll need to accommodate when running the wires from the dash.Save for the non-stock turn signals, which look more like a Guide or Dietz headlight of the same era, you'd be hard-pressed to tell that these have a halogen conversion kit behind the fluted glass. Maybe one day the poor old buckets will receive some much needed attention too?!

SDSU-led study aims to boost healthy food choices
BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota State University will lead a nearly $4 million study aimed at giving needy families across the country healthier nutritional choices at their local food pantries, the U.S. Agriculture Department announced Wednesday.
South Dakota State researchers and colleagues at Michigan State, Purdue, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio will work with local food policy councils in a dozen test communities with the hope that the program can be replicated elsewhere, said Suzanne Stluka, who will lead the five-year Voices for Food project.
Stluka, director of the Food and Families Program at South Dakota State, said families who get their food from emergency and supplemental nutrition programs are often limited in their choices.
"Poor nutrition today does not necessarily result in starvation, but it results in chronic diseases such as obesity or heart disease or cancer," she said. "So we're dealing with a whole another round of food access and food security. And financially challenged and underrepresented citizens are at the highest risk."
The award is part of more than $75 million in USDA research grants given to 21 schools across the country that were announced by Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan on Wednesday.
Merrigan, speaking Wednesday at South Dakota State University's student union, said consumers want nutritious and locally grown food, but many simply don't have access to it.
They live in what are called "food deserts" — low-income communities in which a substantial number of residents are at least 10 miles form a large grocery or supermarket — so the convenience store or liquor store down the street might be their only option.
"They're paying more money for less quality food," Merrigan said.
Stluka said Voices for Food will draw from varied expertise, incorporating nutrition, youth development, agriculture, community development, social marketing and evaluation.
Researchers will spend the first year will identifying two test communities in each of the participating states — South Dakota, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio — and develop their research protocol. The following three years will be spent in the learning communities, developing food policy councils, teaching about nutrition and increasing the healthy choices, Stluka said.
"In year five, what we will do is we'll really focus our efforts on making sure the work is sustained in those communities, because we want to create a model that can be implemented," she said.
Merrigan said the USDA has come a long way in understanding the importance of healthy food access and locally grown regional food systems.
And it's more than just nutrition, as regional food systems can make rural communities more vibrant and attracting young people back to working lands, she said.
"There's not a challenge before American agriculture more daunting than repopulating our farms and ranches," Merrigan said.
Department officials say the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's 2012 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative's Food Security program supports research that will keep American agriculture competitive while helping to end world hunger. The program's aim is to increase the availability and accessibility of domestic and international food.
Other grant recipients include Purdue University, which is developing new strategies to defend against ear rot diseases in corn, the University of Tennessee, which is looking to identify ways to improve milk quality in the Southeast and enhance the sustainability of the Southeast dairy industry and the University of California in Berkeley, which will work with tribal groups in the Klamath Basin in Oregon and California to build sustainable regional food systems.

We have existing mail, calendar, and IM infrastructure (based on IMAP, SMTP, LDAP, XMPP, iCal, etc) that we're not willing to part with (we've spent 6+ years building it, and for the moment its further along than Zimbra can provide). However we're very interested in the client - we've been prototyping something similar and its going to take a long time to get it to where we want it.
Obviously, with the source available, its possible to take the client and hook it up to our existing infrastructure. I'd like to know how difficult it would be to do this. I've read your whitepaper docs, but haven't had chance to dig into the code yet.
What would be really great for us would be documentation of the XML protocol used by the client to talk to the servlets. We're a Perl shop here, and it wouldn't be a difficult task for us to replace the servlets with a light Perl layer that arbitrates between the client and the backend servers. Is any kind of documentation like this available?
Congratulations on an excellent product. We look forward to experimenting with it and hopefully, if its suitable, contributing code back to the project

|Food co-op offers fresh produce in Holyoke
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Bountiful Baskets, a food co-op which is fairly new to northeastern Colorado, is now beginning in Holyoke. The web-based, not-for-profit organization offers fresh produce, and since 2006, it has grown to 16 states.
Within about the last six months, a Bountiful Baskets site has formed in Ovid, Vernon and Sterling. Kay Harmon, site coordinator, said she participated while living in Idaho and loved the experience so much she wanted to bring it to the Holyoke community.
The co-op offers a produce basket every other Saturday, which is generally half fruit and half vegetables. The produce includes high-quality seasonal items. There is also an option for an organic basket. The items are different every week, and participants do not know in advance what will be in the basket.

I like it and this is a very nice style you're developing/practicing I think. The desert and icons give it a very near-east, slightly exotic feel. I assume the slightly grid-like land is cultivated farmland and such? It comes across as that anyway though perhaps a tiny bit too regular.
I can't wait to see more.

Happy Birthday to Daze & Confused, which just turned twenty. In celebration of the milestone, they've rolled out twenty covers, featuring Kate Moss, Tilda Swinton, Bjork, Chloe Sevigny, Alicia Keys, The Kills, and more. Sifting through the photos, we were unsurprised to find one fashion industry-approved arbiter of cool after another. But! Not all models, Brit-pop frontmen and weirdo auteurs are created equally, so we ranked each cover for that most nebulous quality: coolness.

TriAtlas project (2nd. edition) - first proof
Posted 01 April 2008 - 06:47 AM
I am preparing a new edition of the TriAtlas, trying to solve all the detected problems reported up to now. I have prepared a set of three sample charts (Orion, Andromeda and Ursa Major) for discussing and improving the maps before generating the new A, B and C sets.
PDF file with three B-set charts (2nd edition)
There are some very nice improvements (I hope):
(1) Chart arrangement by decreasing R.A., similar to Uranometria 2000.0 2nd ed
(2) Charts are now in portrait format. This allows viewing a larger region of the sky, placing two consecutive charts oposite.
(3) Label overlap problem practically eliminated. The system is quite good although I think I can still do some more improvements
(4) Tips indicating the location of the problematic objects, which allow labelling even extremely cluttered regions (eg. Large Magellanic Cloud)
(5) Double stars labelled by name and indicated by horizontal tips, but best double stars are plotted like in the former release
(6) Larger fonts, much more readable and still good for the scale of the maps
(7) Legend at the top and neighbouring charts at the borders in black background
(8) New symbols, etc...
Well, the best is to have a look in the link above. I am very, very happy with the new charts and I hope they will help to enjoy the sky to everybody.

The area around the Andromeda Galaxy is much too crowded. Most of those globulars would demand a 16 inch telescope. No one with a large telescope would try and use such a crowded map to find any of those very faint and difficult objects.
Also, please label "Barnard's Loop" with that name. There are places where a common name is how that object is spoken about.
I will be interested to see how many galaxies you allow in these Abell Galaxy Clusters. Many of them are very faint and difficult in medium sized scopes.
Thank you for your time and effort;
Steve Coe
Posted 01 April 2008 - 12:22 PM
First, thanks for the feedback, and congratulations for your books (I have a couple of them). The same for the excellent observations you have made available throughout the years. I started this project with the old SAC52 database.
Don't worry for the Andromeda globs. No one would dare to search them with a low power atlas. The atlas just indicates that "they are there". For finding them, obviously one needs more power. I could find seven of them with my 10", but I needed a photograph to spot them; perhaps the TriAtlas C (currently its faintest stars are around 12.25 mag) could serve for some of them, but the best is a picture or a full power computer map. The reason to plot them in the B-set was simply that I thought the B-set would include all known globs (after all, there are very few); in some cases, the C set is necessary, and in the case of M31 globs, a picture is the best alternative.
I still have to prepare a list with common names for stars, asterisms and named objects (such as the Barnard's Loop). This feature will be present in this edition, that is sure. What I have linked is only a first proof to get some feedback.
Again, only some "brightest" (if this could be said at all) Abell clusters are plotted in the atlas, but no galaxies (except outstanding cases such as NGC 6166 and so on). I decided to include all Hickson and some Abell clusters. The base program (CNebulaX) includes more than a million galaxies (Hyperleda), but the atlas is cropped, and even at full power, most Abell's includes few or none Hyperleda galaxies. The first release of the C set included around 37000 galaxies, and B-set (the set to which correspond the sample charts), around 7000. With my telescopes, I have not seen Abell galaxies except some cases (Perseus cluster, Hercules AGC 2199, and a few more); I was able to image at least the CrB GalCl, though.

There is a set of asterisms on the SAC site.
Steve Coe

Posted 01 April 2008 - 07:50 PM
Congrats - I really like these previews, even if some parts are quite crowded with objects (e.g. M31).
One thing I noticed: the stars do not appear round when they're not at the center of the page.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 12:50 AM
You may find this hard to believe but here in the US finding A4 paper is almost impossible. I understand that the US is going its own way with 8.5x11 inch paper but it's all we amateur astronomers have to work with.
Thank you for your dedication to mapping the skies.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 07:33 AM
I have got the common names and asterisms files from the Saguaro Astronomical Club already. In fact, the core of the A and B sets is the SAC database, that for me it is one of the best (if not the best) deep sky resources. I have to say that I am quite fanatic of the SAC databases since the 5.2 release; I made my first deep sky program for managing it. Thanks for the idea, and if you know more sources, please tell me.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 07:39 AM
I can prepare PDF files at any size. What is the most common paper size in the USA? Please tell me, and I will prepare a sample PDF.
About paper sizes, Adobe Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) print menu includes an option to scale up or down the print job to any paper size (the maps are vector-based: there is no loss in resolution). Did you try this feature? I don't see any problem in changing the size to whatever measurement (except more web space to store the files).
Posted 02 April 2008 - 07:46 AM
I also like the look of the new maps. Another sample, this time of the A-set:
Proof page of the A-Set (TriAtlas 2nd, ed.)
I didn't see any distorsion at all in the printed charts, but if you magnify the charts to very high levels it could happen. I suppose that it can be generated by the virtual printer code and can be supressed increasing the detail (and the file size...).
Posted 02 April 2008 - 08:01 AM
I am quite amazed by the problems with the paper size. Have you tried to scale the paper using the print menu options of Adobe Acrobat -or Adobe Reader-?. Using this menu, you can print the charts at any scale value you wish, and fit the charts in 8x15" pages (or whatever size) without losses in resolution.
Is the 8x15 inches the standard US paper size? Please, confirm it or tell me the most usual page size, and I will generate charts for that size. It's a pity that countries do not find an agreement in basic things like this. In Europe the A4 is the standard. All printers are prepared for it.
About madness of making charts... Well, what I really like is to see the deep sky, and the basic tools are the sky charts. It is only that.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 05:55 PM
The "A" sizes makes more sense to me, as they all seem to be half's of each other unit (ie: Double the width of 2 A4 = A3). No idea why the US didn't stay with the same sizes though, as A4 is used EVERYWHERE else in the world, and 8.5x11 is ONLY in the US...
Heres a link about all international paper sizes...
Posted 03 April 2008 - 06:53 AM
I have prepared a proof with the paper dimensions you have told me (11x8.5" = 27.9x21.6 cm = letter size). Please have a look and print it. If it looks right, I can prepare editions for this page size. This is the sample chart:
Sample page in 8.5x11" paper size
The charts are prepared for 600 dpi printing; I am using an HP laserjet 1022 printer. I suggest a good laser printer: ink printers do not work so well for small high resolution details.
Posted 03 April 2008 - 05:34 PM
I just printed out your sample, and chose NO SCALING. Seeing as you left very little margin, the bottom of the chart didn't print on my printer. The top, left, and right all printed fine, but are very close to the edge, within the normal margin.
If I scale it ("Fit to printable area" option), then all prints fine, within the margins...
Printer margins are .5 inches from each edge, as well as top and bottom. MOST of the time I can override these, except for the bottom margin. I can not go past the .5 on the bottom or I loose whatever was there.
But I digress... Like I said, with Scaling, all prints fine.
Nice charts!
Posted 03 April 2008 - 05:48 PM
Jose, thanks for your hard work on these charts, and for taking the time to accommodate us weird U.S. folks, it's appreciated!
Posted 03 April 2008 - 06:18 PM
And just for another opinion, I tried printing with both "no scaling" and "fit to printer" and both worked fine for me; "no scaling" didn't cut anything off any of the margins on my printer.
Yeah, this will vary from printer to printer. I actually think it has nothing to do with margins in the printer, but rather how the printer feeds the paper. The head couldn't print any more beyond that .5 from the bottom probably because of how it feeds?!? I can get (with other prints I've done) within an 1/8 inch of the top, left and right...
Posted 04 April 2008 - 11:30 AM
It is easy to change the format and print in letter-size paper or whatever else, bigger or smaller. In that way you not need to scale down the maps (tiny labels), and the quality is better. The total number of pages may change, but I can solve this. There is, however, a problem: the three sets require around 600 Mb for storage, and now, with the first version and all the other stuff (CNebulaX and other files), I have exhausted all my web space (around 1 Gb); I can replace the 1st. version by the 2nd., but I have to space to store two 2 full second versions. Perhaps I could store sets A and B in two page sizes, but the C set is impossible.
I will link the A and B sets in both A4 and letter-size (8.5x11") -probably next week-, but when I finish the C-set, I will have to remove the letter-size edition.
Posted 04 April 2008 - 08:10 PM
Yeah, Scaling is fine, but you end up with TINY labels. My eyesight isn't getting any better.
Posted 04 April 2008 - 10:25 PM
Great work, as ever... too much information for me (as I've told you in other times) but it really looks very nice, besides, I think it will be very useful for a lot of serious astronomers around the world. Greetings from México.
Posted 05 April 2008 - 06:53 AM
Creating two versions seems to be too much work in my opinion. I had no trouble printing the first version on letter paper.
Posted 05 April 2008 - 10:24 PM
I had no trouble printing the first version on letter paper.
Again, as I stated above, it all depends on your printer...
For the size, and as tiny as some labels are, I would LOVE to bring it to Kinkos and have them run off a copy on 14" paper... Laminate and spiral bind that!
Hmmm... Wonder what that would cost...
Posted 06 April 2008 - 09:53 PM
I was very excited to see this thread in early April. You seem to be ahead of schedule, as your 2nd Ed. was not expected before summer (at the earliest). Does this mean that an updated CNebulaX is also coming soon (and will it include the Sky Atlas Generator utility)??? If so, any quibbles that anyone has with your provided charts can be changed by the user with their own settings at chart generation time.
It seems that some of the people commenting in this thread may not have been familiar with your earlier efforts. I think your approach (of an A set, B set, and C set of increasing detail) is ingenius. For those who think your sample provides too much detail, I recommend they look at your A set.
I think your improvements of changing the charts to vertical so the two page spread becomes, in effect, one chart is a GREAT idea.
I believe the label overlap problem was the biggest deficit with the earlier edition. This only affected certain parts of the sky, but if you have solved the problem: KUDOS!
As recommended at Jose's web site, the A and B sets (together) might make a nice Field Atlas. The C set, is essentially a Uranometria 2000 sized set that could be broken into two volumes.
Also, for those who wish a more professional binding of Jose's charts, you might check out services like lulu.com. In fact, you can choose A4 paper at lulu, if you like. They also offer bulk rates for printings of 25 or more, so perhaps a group of interested users could go together for a group order and save.
In short, Jose, with CNebulaX and the TriAtlas you are providing an absolutely stunning set of resources for todays amateurs. I applaud your efforts and your generosity in giving back to the amateur community!
Posted 06 April 2008 - 10:31 PM
It prints very well for me either with or without scaling.
Thanks for taking the time to provide us wacky American amateurs with the ability to print on our wacky paper.
Posted 07 April 2008 - 03:01 PM
I have finished the B-set, with 107 charts (I have just printed my working copy and I like it a lot... ). These are the provisional downloading links (save the PDF files to disk before opening, because they are huge >40 Mb files!!!):
TRIATLAS 2nd edition - Set B - Charts 1 to 36
TRIATLAS 2nd edition - Set B - Charts 37 to 72
TRIATLAS 2nd edition - Set B - Charts 73 to 107
...and the index of the B set:
Index to B-charts (Triatlas 2nd edition)
DO NOT PRINT YET!!!Give me some more days to correct mistakes and make the final edition. The whole sets A, B and C will likely be finished next monday.
1) I have detected one error: 47 Tucanae is wrongly labelled on M104 (47 Tuc = NGC 104; when I processed the list of common names I typed "104" instead on "NGC 104", and CNebulaX looked for "M 104" and gave me its location). I have revised the list and the remaining objects seem to be right.
2) the RA axis of charts 99-108 is not well printed (not important for norhern observers)
3) I will likely give more overlap to charts A, but if I do this, it will imply changing the numbering of the A charts given in the B set
More improvements to add to those that I commented in the first message:
(9) Constellations codes are overlaid within each chart in each set
(10) Framing charts indicated to zoom out easily. In the B-charts, the A chart in which each B-chart is framed is indicated above the chart number (bottom right)
(11) Common star names (Betelgeuse, Rigel...) and common names of deep sky objects (Minkowski Footprint, Intergalactic Tramp...) are now also printed. Around 200 objects are labelled.
(12) Line sizes now indicate brighter objects (e.g., a brighter galaxy has a thicker outline than a fainter one). Selecting the bright objects is now much easier!!!.
(13) Much more galaxies are oriented acording to their position angle
I would also like to show you some of the new C-set...
The Virgo Galaxy Cluster (the center):
Center of the Virgo Cluster in the new set C
Note the different outlines for indicating brightness. It is a very nice improvement, I think. BTW, I have just found an error in the RA axis for charts 99-107, that I will fix hopefully very soon.
As I told you, I can prepare letter-size pages. When I finish the A set, I will place both (A and B) in letter size. However, I will have to remove one of them (150 Mb) when I prepare the C-set, because I have no room for everything. I have placed my new printed copy in a folder with protecting plastic pages, in A4 format. I prefer something smaller to have at the telescope, flexible and protected of moisture and tearing. This is a very cheap solution that I would recommend to everybody.
Hi Jorge, nice to have news from you again. In spite of what you are telling, I hope that the A nd B set will be very useful for you, it is quite comfortable but powerful at the same time. BTW, did you got the last CNebulaX?
I was using the first edition for nearly a year. It was quite good, except in overcrowded areas. Now I hope to have fixed all the problems. It includes many thousands of objects and it is very difficult to avoid label colliding. I have removed most of overlaps, but the algorithm sometimes cannot get convergence. I very hope you will find this new release good.
The reason to go faster is... that I was impatient to get the new atlas. I needed a long holiday time (Easter) after having finished all the job tasks that in my case are concentrated in Fall and Winter. I have concentrated all my efforts in the Atlas program, that has grown quite a bit and it is a separated program from CNebulaX; perhaps I could link it again. The problem is that is not so easy to deal with. And not only managing it: when it is running it represents a so massive work for printer drivers that usually congests it and I can only get blocks of 30 charts (except when charts are sent individually to the printer). I agree with all what you are telling. My main atlas is the A nd B sets, and I use the C-charts when I need more power. One can have a very comfortable and powerful atlas with the A and B charts.
OK. I thought that you had not tried scaling. This allows changing the margings and adapt to a different paper sizes the printing job. However, I will link an A and B set in letter size; perhaps this could be more convenient because the maps will be better adapted to the paper.
OK, time to go home...
Posted 07 April 2008 - 05:24 PM
Thanks again, José!
This is just awesome.

Here's a nice bull that's been hanging around the neighborhood lately. I hope to find his dad later this week.
I'll take that "little one" off your hands! You are looking for a bigger one???
Actually, he'd do just fine. But he's hanging out in a neighborhood where I can't hunt.
I have been to Alaska 2 times fishing , but hopefuly next time I come I will be hunting. I am jealous of you getting to live there, and being able to se this kind of stuff all the time.
Great bull AKa. My brother and I hunted moose up there, and it was fun to see them right in the neighborhood before we flew out to our hunting area. We were very fortunate to harvest 65" and 63" bulls.
Congratulations on some fine bulls...can you post a couple photos for us.
The moose have eluded me so far this season. I was able to call in 3 bulls for my son, all within 200 yards and we didn't shoot any of them. The first one came in the evening we got there and was illegal because of the same day as airborne law, the second stayed in thick brush and we just couldn't find a shooting lane and the last one came in the day the season closed! I sure enjoyed the hunt, especially with my son, it's getting harder to get his time for hunting.
It goes like that sometimes, I still have a couple more chances at them this year. None of the ones we saw were 65" though.
I will try to get some pics up. They were on about the 4th computer ago.. LOL. The pics were in an issue of Eastmans Hunting Journal back in '06. Sounds like you had a great time with your son. That's what it's all about.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State has a pair of former basketball head coaches serving as assistants to first-year coach Mark Gottfried. They're a big reason why the program is having its best season in six years.
Bobby Lutz spent a dozen years at Charlotte, while Orlando Early spent five years at Louisiana-Monroe. Their experience running their own programs has been an asset for Gottfried, who has N.C. State within reach of an NCAA tournament bid entering the final weeks of the regular season.
N.C. State (18-9, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) faces No. 7 North Carolina on Tuesday night.
The Wolfpack's last trip to the NCAA tournament was 2006 and until this season N.C. State hadn't won more than six ACC games in a season since that trip.

In well-rounded skin care regimens, toner is applied after cleansing but before moisturizing. The purpose of using a toner or clarifier is to remove any remaining residue from the skin and to prepare it to better absorb any creams or treatments that are subsequently applied. Toner also helps to clear and tighten your pores to prevent the likelihood of blockage and skin breakouts. Many toners include alcohol or other harsh ingredients that lead to dry and irritated skin. By avoiding these harmful ingredients, skyn ICELAND Toners and Clarifiers provide excellent benefits to your skin without drying or damaging your complexion. The ingredients in skyn ICELAND Toners and Clarifiers clean and prime your skin using natural ingredients derived from Iceland's resources.
The use of natural botanicals in skyn ICELAND Toners and Clarifiers ensures that skin will feel refreshed rather than dried out. High quality ingredients also ensure that all residue and dead skin left after cleansing is removed, leaving skin smooth. Toners and clarifying products can play a significant role in maintaining radiant and healthy skin, and skyn ICELAND Toners and Clarifiers provide a natural option to obtain the skin you desire.
Toners and clarifiers are recent additions to skincare regimens, but they have drastically helped to improve many people's complexions. While some popular toners dry the skin with alcohol and other harsh ingredients, skyn ICELAND Toners and Clarifiers pamper the skin with natural ingredients from Iceland's environment. These botanicals leave the skin naturally radiant and refreshed.
You can work to achieve more radiant skin by introducing skyn ICELAND Arctic Face Mist with Multivitamin Complex into your skincare regimen. This toning spray refreshes skin with a dose of vitamins to help heal and rebuild damaged skin. Gentle enough to be used daily, this formula hydrates and stabilizes stressed skin. Unlike many toners, no dye is included in the formula and the list of ingredients is heavy on natural botanicals. Vitamins A, B, C, and E are all incorporated into this solution and will help to replenish your skin while improving its health over time. Thiotaine in the spray helps to protect your skin from free radicals and white willow bark provides further antibacterial protection. Yeast extract and cucumber water help to calm any skin inflammation or irritations. This toner can be used in the morning and at night as a refreshing step between cleansing and moisturizing. Since it is a light and non-abrasive spray, skyn ICELAND Arctic Face Mist with Multivitamin Complex can also provide a midday refreshment for your skin on hot days. Treating stressed skin to a blast of refreshing and lightly-scented botanicals will help to keep your skin youthful, healthy, and radiant.

Normally feel more comfortable making fun of goofy goalies out here, but really need some help now.
I will be coaching a Squirt Team this year, and need some help/advice for drills and instruction to help these young goalies properly develop. Outside of me blasting shots at them, I have very little to offer. Interested in those out here that actually know about goaltending technique that could turn me on to some collateral that might help me better coach these kids.
