Well, it would take some perfect seeing a maybe some "stupid" magnification. Sparrow is 0.71" in a 6", this one is at 0.45" arc. Theoretically there may be some elongation since they are not exactly on top of one another. But, the spurious disc probably covers up any elongation.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 10:37 AM
... The clean black void between the componets was estimated to be just as wide as the airy discs were in diameter!! ... Mike
Envy scope and especially the clear sky. Just another optical wonder - the Airy disk radius should be somewhat above 0.5 arc sec and to get here black space in this size would require the spurious disk radius being less than 33% of the Airy disk radius. Impossible with this bright components I would think - a clear 8 should be all you can get here with 10" aperture. Envy remains.

Anyway, you have quite the double star set up, Mike. Next time someone asks which scope is best for doubles (or anything else), mind if I mention yours?
Jupiter, to me, looks like just a few stacked images. Raw.
Congrats on Arietis 10, never heard of it. Probably out of my scope's league. So, what's your draw to doubles, color or separation, or both? I guess I like the challenge of close doubles, but there is no arguing the beauty of colored ones, either.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 07:13 PM
If I recall correctly he elongated doubles with an 80mm refractor (or there abouts) down to 0.5" . If I'm off its not by much. all that to say you can probably elongate 72. Aberrator leads me to believe something as low as 0.2 with the peculiarity being in the diffraction rings seen first. something about the elongated rings pop before its more easily seen in tge disc. That's sim. In practice I've seen a few Dawes and sub dawes but never attempted a value half that.
jus throwing it out there.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 09:23 PM
This implies the spurious discs are nearly on top of one another. If memory serves, Dawes limit was not tough to "split" with a definite peanut shape in great seeing. Reducing that by a few 10ths of an arc second (from 116/d to 107/d) should make little difference in the elongation observed. Much below that becomes another problem all together.
Intuitively there should be some elongation at any separation, it just get's progressively harder to observe. Maybe the fainter the better. But, with 6th mag pair at 0.5", one might imagine the brighter spurious discs will overwhelm each other being that close. In theory, but maybe not in practice.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 10:46 PM
Posted 15 November 2012 - 04:16 AM
Might give 72 Pegasi a look tonight. Pete's got me curious about the possibility of elongation. Dang him...he always does that to me.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 11:31 AM
At 313x and 384x, the diffraction pattern was slightly oval oriented basically east west. The spurious disc did appear elongated with a brighter component west and a dimmer component comprising the trailing edge (as the star drifted through the FOV.) I estimate elongation (PA) to be about 100 degrees +/- 10 degrees. No peanut shape, just an elongated spurious disc.
So, if I observed it correctly, the companion is somewhat dimmer with a PA ~ 100. Is that correct? (I have not checked it's stats, just putting up observation for scrutiny.)
Now, I did slew to 64 Peg to verify if the atmosphere was causing some distortion. However, 64 Peg, just west of 72 Peg, was a clearly white and round spurious disc with a faint circular diffraction ring. Its the same magnitude as 72 Peg.
Well, if that description is accurate (enough) I might have seen elongation. I really think I did, it wasn't too terribly difficult or nearly impossible, but it was not easy.
15 Nov 2012, 1500UT seeing 8/10, transparency mag 5.
Edit: Okay, just checked the PA at 070. Maybe I made a mistake, but it appeared to be just south of 90 degrees. Right? Or at least trailing almost directly behind, but just off a line drawn directly east and west at 90 degrees PA. So I added 10 degrees and guessed at it. Did I do the math right?
Edit, again: No, I read the data wrong:
2012 Theta = 102 and Rho = 0.566.
That was it! Wow, closest double I have observed (without splitting it.)
Edit: Sketch added. The image scale is enlarged to better show the very small details.

52 Ori has the same appeal to me, not as tight but more like a diamond ring. 31 Tau was a test double at the Dawes limit. Viewing it was a milestone. Yes, seeing here is usually upwards of 8 or better during the dry season. Very fortunate.
Anyone else out there attempting this nice yellow duo??
Posted 16 November 2012 - 03:49 AM
Posted 17 November 2012 - 08:19 PM
I tried powers up from 300X-750X in my 10" dob, and couldn't confirm a split of any kind. There were times when I thought maybe for a fleeting second or two, but it was probably an artifact of the seeing.
It was fun trying though.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 09:03 PM
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:37 AM
I will try again if I get an uncommonly good night, though!

Saturday is your last chance to register and vote in the primary if you are not already registered.
Early voting ends Saturday at 1:00 p.m. all across the state.
While turnout is on pace to top any other primary since the state began one-stop voting in 2000, that is not the case in Pitt County.
According to Pitt County Board of Elections officials, turnout has been down compared to the primary in 2008. In 2008 Pitt County officials say around 9,000 people voted early. As of Friday afternoon, only 6,796 had voted early for this election.
These low numbers are in contrast to other counties such as Durham and Wake where early voting is expected to meet or exceed 2008 numbers.
To check locations in your county for early voting just click the related link below.

When enabling AV/AS, on a certain server (5.0, upgraded to last version today) I have a runnig problem wih AMAVISD: amavisd runs on 100% processor, and seems to hang continuously. All mail is getting deferred as it cannot be passed from postfix to amavis. Disabling AV/AS is a workaround, but as this issue remains in 5.0, I'd like to find a solution.
I have been searching different fora, bugzilla's, wiki's, but I'm afraid I can't seem to find any solution on why this is happening. I already enabled some verbose loggings (smtp -v from postfix to amavis, log_level 5 in amavis), but this does not give any extra info on why Amavis itself is running loose.

Lineups: Perez vs. Lackey
After a short road trip, we're back home for a loooonnnngggg homestand – the longest of the season, actually – with 10 games in 11 days. We open with Los Angeles tonight. Odalis Perez (2-2, 7.54 ERA) is on the mound facing the Angels' John Lackey (3-2, 2.35 ERA).
There's a note in tonight's game notes about our stats in April, fitting since this is the final day of the month. Leading up to tonight's game, the Royals are 8-17, which obviously could be better, but is an improvement from the past two seasons. The Royals were just 5-17 in April last year and only 6-18 in 2005. Let's look for a win tonight to finish off the opening month on a good note…and, since we're looking for wins anyway, let's look for a winning homestand and start May off on the right foot as well. Here's your lineups…
For the Royals:
DeJesus – CF
German – 2B
Teahen – RF
Sweeney – DH
Gload – LF
Gordon – 3B
Buck – C
Shealy – 1B
Pena – SS
Perez – P
For the Angels:
Matthews – CF

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- D.C. Police have identified a man who was stabbed to death in Rock Creek Park. Police say the body of 49-year-old Matias Molina of Northwest DC was found Monday night near the intersection of Beach Drive and Joyce Road.
Detectives say they identified him using fingerprints.
He had been an employee of Clydes in Chevy Chase for 6 years.
Detectives also say that based on his clothing he did not appear to be a jogger, cyclist, or someone working out in Rock Creek Park.
"He was lying near the creek bed. That's all the detail I can provide at this time," said Acting Capt. Robert Alder.
Police say the man had been stabbed multiple times. They tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
"We have not had any other homicide in that area since the Chandra Levy case," said Capt. Alder.
It's a troubling statistic for the runners and cyclists who use that stretch of Rock Creek Park on a routine basis.
"I bike through here are the time every day and I'm a little concerned... lots of times I come from home going down this way and I see people running and walking in the dark in the park. It's jut not safe," said one cyclist.
Police are releasing few details about this case. They won't comment about the murder weapon or a possible motive. People here just hope they catch the person responsible before he or she can hurt anyone else.
U.S. Park Police say they believe that section of Rock Creek Park is still very safe. But detectives haven't said anything about a suspect.

Tallahassee, FL - Earl Holmes could barely keep his composure at Friday's press conference. His emotions got the best of him.
For a guy nicknamed "The Hitman," the typically stoic Tallahassee native was overcome by the reality of his new job.
Holmes began thanking all the people who have affected his life from childhood to present. He proceeded to thank his wife, Tiffany, and his son, EJ. After that, several seconds of silence, his head pinned to his neck, eyes watering with tears.
"In all due honesty when you're from Tallahassee and you work as hard as I have, it'd truly paid off," he said.
The former defensive coordinator was promoted to interim last season. He took over for Joe Taylor who retired with two games remaining.
"I just kept coaching," Holmes said. "So regardless of anything that happened after that, I was just going to control what I could control and that was just being the head coach."
It's a dream he's had since childhood, playing ball at FAMU High.
"It seems like yesterday," he said. "From high school to college here to the NFL to back to here as the coordinator now the head coach, it's full circle."
Holmes believed he earned the gig in his debut with a win at homecoming.
"Ever since then I've just been working," Holmes said. "That's what it's about. We got to win some championships here."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- July 16, 2012
Adults wanting to earn an equivalent degree to a high school diploma in Florida may soon be able to take GED exams online in some parts of the state.
State education officials said Monday that computer-based testing provides more efficient and flexible opportunities for adults to earn their diploma. The test will be available initially at centers in Alachua, Citrus, Escambia, Highlands and Walton counties.
While the new computer-based test has the same content currently offered on the paper test, the new system will introduce a streamlined process that allows online registration and scheduling any time of the day or night. The Department of Education plans to expand computer-based GED program across the state beginning Jan. 1, 2013.
Education officials said 32,668 GED diplomas were awarded in 2011.

Video: Plane Crashes Just Off Cost Of Ocean City
OCEAN CITY (DELMARVA.NOW/WUSA9) - Greg Shipley with Maryland State Police say that divers have recovered two bodies from the plane crash site in Ocean City. Shipley says operations have been suspended due to incoming storms.
The two men who died were members of the Ocean City Police Department. Officer Thomas J. Geoghegan Jr., 43, of Ocean City, Md., had been serving since 1991. He was currently assigned to the patrol division. Police said in a release that among his other hobbies, he loved to fly airplanes. Joshua D. Adickes, 27, of Berlin, Md. joined the department in the summer of 2011. He is described as "fun-loving, charismatic and liked by all who knew him."
A single-engine plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the beach at 130th Street and disappeared beneath the waves on Sunday. Eyewitnesses reported hearing a plane having engine troubles fly over the beach around 4 p.m. from the west. Several witnesses said they heard the engine sputter and then stop before the aircraft spiraled into the ocean about 500 yards offshore.
The plane was a Nanchang CJ-6A owned by Geoghegan. It took off for an unknown destination from the Ocean City Airport around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan was on the beach at the rescue command post at 130th Street on Sunday afternoon and wasn't sure how much rescuers would find before nightfall.
"There doesn't appear to be any survivors, because no one has come to the surface," Meehan said.
The mayor confirmed no debris had been found, and the ocean was rough.
"We're in a holding pattern for awhile," he said.
State police headed the search and rescue operations with assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, which had boats out in the ocean searching in a grid pattern. A state police helicopter searched from overhead.
Onlookers sat in beach chairs in the sand and waited with cameras and binoculars to see what had happened to the plane.
State police called in their dive team and said they couldn't confirm how many people were on board or what kind of plane it was until the divers reached the plane, which was about 30 feet below the ocean surface, one-quarter mile off the beach.
"We don't know anything right now," said 1st Sgt. David Sharp. "We're anxious to get the divers in the water."
The Coast Guard out of Portsmouth, Va., reported the plane was a CJ-6A that had taken off from Ocean City Municipal Airport. The aircraft is believed to have a one- to two-seat capacity, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Brandyn Hill.
"It looks like it's on the bottom," he said.
Robert Nicholson of Annapolis, who was with the Air National Guard for 15 years, heard the plane's engine trouble and saw it go down.
"I heard a motor and I looked up ... and he was probably at 4,000-5,000 feet. It looked like the pilot was fighting; he had the rudder moving; he was in a tailspin. The plane was coming around and around, and it was sort of tumbling, like he was kicking the rudder, trying to get it to straighten out," Nicholson said. "The plane would not straighten out and ... he hit the water ... and the plane just went into pieces ... I knew the impact killed him."
Cole Nickoles of Hampstead was on the beach when he heard the plane overhead.
"The engine sounded like it stopped running," he said. "It wasn't making any noise, and it spiraled down right into the water. It was upside down when it hit."
Sean Taladay of North Pittsburgh said, "I just saw a big impact. From my perspective it looked black and large. A big bang. I could see little pieces flying. It was sad. It was like something you see on TV."
Taladay reported the lifeguards on the beach went into action immediately.
"The lifeguards were right on it," he said. "There was immediate action. These people were phenomenal. They were Johnny on the Spot. They were moving as soon as it happened."

Everyone is talking about Monkey Island 1-4, but few remember to mention fan-favorite "Monkey Island 5". This epic, 40-hour super experience is heralded for having all the features anyone who hates episodes could ever want.
But really, was it all that great?
First of all, it's just a re-tread of everything that has come before. Oh, have to get near-useless crew. How original. Banishing LeChuck's latest form, though admittedly this has become more of a series staple, I thought that they could have come up with better than a "glowy" Zombie LeChuck. I mean, really, what was up with that?
The ending was non-existent! We spend a HUGE chunk of this 40-hour game crafting the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu. We found AGAIN all of these items that were in the other games, from a voodoo doll to the Ultimate Insult(ugh) to defeat LeChuck. And when we find all but the fizzy root beer...the game just ends. Abruptly. I mean, we didn't even get a conclusion until recently in Tales of that story. And while it was an epic ending, to be sure, wouldn't it have been more fitting to leave it in its own game? Surely Monkey Island 5 wouldn't have suffered so much if it didn't completely lack an ending.
Why did we have to go to so much trouble to get a monkey coffin, anyway? It wasn't used in the course of Monkey Island 5, so what is the point of that anyway?
And LeChuck stealing monkies? It's a bit hard to swallow, and this is for a series that can get pretty thick in shtick.
Speaking of LeChuck, even *I* can't believe how he ended up surviving the ending of Escape from Monkey Island.
Monkey Island 5 is a HUGE game, that's to be sure. But if one is to go by quality rather than quantity, it's obvious that it is a severe failure compared to Tales of Monkey Island already.
Yes, this is a play on the whole "After Monkey Island 5" business. Sue me.

A week remains before our organic composting workshop in Ethiopia! What workshop? You know, the one that we're sponsoring with the $1-per-pound donation from our Holiday Blend sales! You had forgotten? Well, I suppose I can't blame you, because a lot has happened since the holidays!
Every year we create a unique product for the winter holidays and choose an environmental or social cause to benefit from the sales of that coffee, which we refer to as the Holiday Blend even when it's not a blend – more on that in a second. Historically, we have sought to link the cause to one of the coffees in the blend. For the past two years, that blend has consisted of coffees from a single cooperative, the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmer Cooperative Union, based in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia.
Nine thousand dollars raised by our 2011 seasonal promotion went to support the building of a school in Idido, which is a small village on the outskirts of the somewhat-less-small town of Yirgacheffe – and the provenance of two of our favorite coffees, Idido washed and Idido sundried natural.
In anticipation of the 2012 holiday season, we decided to feature YCFCU's coffee for a second year and identified supporting organic agriculture as the cause we wanted to advance. The focus on teaching organic composting to coffee growers and co-op managers grew out of conversations with YCFCU's general manager, Takele Mammo, who expressed great enthusiasm for Counter Culture's (then-newly–installed) worm composting bins when he visited our operations in April and mentioned that the Ethiopian government had been encouraging co-ops to put more resources toward making compost. We had just launched our first advocacy campaign, Save Our Soil, to raise awareness about the benefits of organic agriculture, and it felt like the stars were aligning for a collaboration around environmental health and soil building through compost with one of our most important producer partners.
With all of that context in mind, I'm excited to tell you a little bit about what we're planning. March 28-30, between 30 and 40 members and managers of YCFCU will assemble at a hotel in Yirgacheffe to listen to lectures on the philosophy and benefits of organic agriculture, share their experiences, and participate in hands-on training on composting led by a local expert. Attendees will include managers of co-op mills like Idido, Haru, and Biloya – our coffees are so called after the mills where growers bring their coffee for processing in towns of those names – as well as coffee growers, with a particular focus on members of the Haru cooperative. In discussions with the umbrella co-op, YCFCU, we agreed that Counter Culture has a firmer partnership with Haru than with any of the other farmer groups and that focusing on them would deepen the impact of the information.
As we developed this program, I thought often of the success of La Serie Profesional: Organic Agriculture and Quality Experimentation, the event that we hosted for all of our Central American suppliers in the summer of 2011 in Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras. That event was definitely part of the inspiration for this one, but a key difference in Ethiopia will be the level of knowledge brought to the topic. Instead of relying on Coffee Buyer & Quality Manager Tim Hill and me to create, deliver, and translate all of the material as we did in Honduras, this time we have hired professionals to speak on conditions particular to Yirgacheffe, conduct the training with materials in Amharic as well as English, and lay the groundwork for a compost operation at Haru.
It is exciting to be working as a part of what feels like a direct collaboration between customers who so faithfully supported the Holiday Blend and one of our strongest producer partners, YCFCU, to address an issue that we all recognize as crucial to coffee and quality despite the fact that we aren't compost experts ourselves. Tim and I will be attending the workshop, but I imagine we have as much to learn as any of the growers, if not more!

Secretary of State Natalie Tennant already has begun taking shots at U.S. Rep. Shelley Capito regarding "gridlock" in Washington. Look for that to happen in other states where Republicans in the House of Representatives will be running against Democrats, for U.S. Senate races.
In fact, count on Democrat strategists to make the partial government "shutdown" a key part of their strategy to keep the GOP from gaining control of the Senate next year.
Capito, the Republican representing West Virginia's 2nd District in the House, remains a clear favorite to win the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. Being a Democrat, in the same party as wildly unpopular President Barack Obama, leaves Tennant with a severe handicap.
But Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., may have thrown a lifeline to Tennant and a few other Democrat candidates.
Obama and Reid have steadfastly refused to agree to a government funding bill that includes any changes to the national health insurance law. Republicans who control the House have refused to agree to a funding bill without some changes to Obamacare. On Tuesday morning, that resulted in a partial shutdown of federal government agencies.
House Republicans are merely using power envisioned by the nation's founders. Giving each house of Congress varying degrees of power over the purse was seen by the founders as a way to avoid abuses by the executive branch - as well as majorities in the other legislative body.
But since 1995, when then-President Bill Clinton managed to use his public relations skills to portray Republicans as irresponsible for allegedly shutting down the government, many conservatives have been leery of such confrontations. Never mind that the claim made then by Clinton and now by Obama and Reid isn't accurate. It takes two to disagree over a spending bill, after all.
Still, blaming the 1995 shutdown on Republicans worked well for Democrats. Expect them to try it again, especially in states such as West Virginia.
Recriminations over the shutdown also may be part of next year's Senate races in other states. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Montana, all states where GOP leaders hope to pick up new Senate seats, the likelihood is strong the Republican standard bearers will be people now serving in the House. Their Democrat opponents will accuse GOP candidates of having acted irresponsibly regarding the shutdown.
The tactic may be considered in other states where Republican Senate wins are being predicted, even though the GOP candidates will not be incumbent House members. Those states include Iowa, North Carolina and South Dakota.
Again, it won't matter to Democrats that trying to brand Republican House members as irresponsible isn't intellectually honest or accurate. Hey, if it worked for Bill Clinton, why not?
But the Democrats may want to be careful what they wish for. Here's why:
It's probable Obamacare will proceed as the president and Reid want, without substantive changes (except, of course, those Obama himself has made, in contradiction of the law).
By about this time next year, quite a few voters - including many staunch Democrats - will have been burned in one way or another by Obamacare. Pointing fingers at Republican House members who tried to block enforcement of penalties - but not insurance coverage - mandated by the law may not be a very smart thing to do.
We'll see. For now, however, don't be surprised if some Democrat candidates for the Senate attempt to use the shutdown against Republicans.
Meanwhile, what about Obamacare and the shutdown? Here's an idea:
Obama and Reid have insisted they'll be happy to discuss changes to the health insurance law, but only after the House passes a "clean" government funding resolution.
House members should do just that - then call Reid and Obama out when they refuse to negotiate in good faith about Obamacare, as they will.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Synopsis
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass--and now is back in town--to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past--from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Detroit Tigers' Andy Dirks (12) celebrates with Prince Fielder (28) after Dirks scored on a single by Miguel Cabrera during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Kansas City Royals Tuesday, April 17, 2012, in Kansas City, Mo. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
VIERA, Fla. (AP) -- Stephen Strasburg stayed on the mound after a liner went off his left hand, pitching six innings in the Washington Nationals' 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday.
The 24-year-old right-hander was struck by a ball hit by Prince Fielder in the top of the fourth inning. After shaking off the injury and being cleared by team trainers, he struck out two of the next three batters.
Strasburg, making his sixth spring start, gave up three runs and seven hits. One of the hits was a solo home run by Matt Tuiasosopo.
Detroit's Drew Smyly, knocked around by Washington in his previous start, retired the first 10 batters he faced. Ian Desmond homered off the left-hander in the fifth inning.

My kids don't seem to be interested in plastic, electronic toys, they seem to like cardboard boxes, blocks, exploring, drawing, etc.
I'm looking for suggestions on activities, and also stores for affordable, creative toys and supplies. Any ideas?

And Yahveh God built a woman with the rib that he took from the man, and He brought her to the man.
וַיִּבֶן יַהְוֶה אֱלֹהִים אֶֽת־הַצֵּלָע אֲשֶׁר־לָקַח מִן־הָאָדָם לְאִשָּׁה וַיְבִאֶהָ אֶל־הָאָדָם
Most translations obscure the actual meaning of the verb וַיִּבֶן by translating it as "made." But, the Hebrew verb meaning "to make" is עשה (asah) (cp. Gen. 1:7). Instead of עשה, we see a conjugation of the verb בנה (banah).
According to Gesenius, the primary meaning of this verb is "to build."
The translators of the LXX translated the Hebrew verb וַיִּבֶן into Greek as ᾠκοδόμησεν (ōkodomēsen), a conjugation of the Greek verb οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō), also meaning "to build." Moshe certainly could have used the Hebrew verb עשה, but why didn't he? What significance is there in using the verb בנה?

Paint Your Car at HomeWritten by Jeff Smith on April 17, 2006 Contributors: Wes Allison If you're into looking good on a budget, dive into this primer on basic bodywork and creative use of color.
`Face up to it right now: Paint and bodywork is just plain expensive. The days of pulling up to your buddy's body shop and leaving two weeks later with a car-show paint job for $5,000 is over. Today, the cost of materials can easily run $2,000 and up if you want to use top-notch materials and do the job right. Labor cost? Expect to pay $60 per hour minimum. If you can get the job done for less, consider yourself blessed. You get what you pay for.
So this leaves the budget-beleaguered car crafter with one alternative--do it yourself. You've probably heard all this before, but it demands repeating. The key to a quality paint job is all in the prep work before any color ever finds its way onto the car. Quality work involves taking your time and doing the work carefully and deliberately. It's also maddeningly tedious and very discouraging when dents keep showing up that you swear you fixed last week.
To show you that we're capable of taking on a project instead of just writing about it, we're willing to step on a few landmines firsthand. We jumped in with our buddy Jim Peterson as he was just embarking on a backyard '65 El Camino project. Jim enlisted the help of his pal Tyrone Williams, who offered his expertise in exchange for a Peterson-built 327 small-block for Tyrone's personal '66 El Camino. We offered to work with them. Isn't that how cars get built--by leaning on your buddies and trading your expertise in exchange for their help? Ya, we thought so.
It Has to Begin Somewhere
The key to any backyard project is to start with something that is reasonably sound to begin with. This particular El Camino was in fairly decent shape but still needed hours of tweaks before it was ready for paint. Once the El Camino was placed in the side yard alongside the house, everyone had a hand in searching for dents, wrinkles, and any general sheetmetal malaise. Once all the kinks made themselves known, the real work began. We started by unbolting all the sheetmetal, removing the trim and emblems, and stripping the paint.
Slinging Bondo
Anyone who tells you that Bondo has no place on a quality repair job has never done bodywork. Even the best metalsmiths will use plastic repair media to skim-coat sheetmetal to give it that mirror-smooth look. In this case, we first eliminated all rust then pulled all the large dents and finished by working them with a hammer and dolly. With that done, they mixed up some 3M Lightweight Body Filler to fill in the little dings that were too small for hammer work.
Applying Primer
Folks who do not work on cars sometimes need a mantra or some kind of code to keep them on track. Anyone who does bodywork only needs to keep repeating one phrase--"keep sanding." We used red etching primer as the base primer that will adhere to the body and filler and also seal the body from the elements to prevent oxidation under the paint. Normal filler primers do not seal and will eventually allow rust to bleed through.
Finally! Ready For Paint
After what seemed like forever, the El Camino was ready for the fun stuff. Since this has been a homebuilt budget operation from the start, we bought a big roll of inexpensive plastic sheeting and trimmed the inside of the garage to create our own spray booth. We also fashioned a small fan with a filter to keep the air moving through the garage. With the HVLP gun, the overspray wasn't as bad as it would have been with a high-pressure gun.
Material costs are a big part of any paint job. It's easy for material costs to exceed $2,000 without getting extravagant. To keep the cost in line, we decided on single-stage paint for the El Camino, using a DuPont metallic urethane called Nason Ful-Thane. This is a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint, which means it is environmentally friendly and you don't have to worry about poisoning the neighborhood by shooting this stuff in your garage. Single stage means that this is a one-shot deal compared to the more common but also more expensive basecoat/clearcoat two-stage paint systems. This also means you won't be able to color-sand this paint after it is applied, which makes it that much more important to get the coverage right the first time. This paint is a urethane replacement for the old acrylic enamels and will produce a good shine that will also be durable.
We're skipping over lots of details because of space considerations. For example, following the manufacturer's recommendation for mixing ratios between the topcoat and the catalyst is important. Paint manufacturers recommend mixing reducer with the topcoat to allow the paint to adjust for temperature. There are also several speeds of reducer based on weather conditions. Fast reducers flash the paint quickly for colder weather painting while slow reducers are best used in hot weather. There are tons more tricks that you can learn by asking a few questions of painter buddies and professional body men. If you're unsure, ask questions before you lay down paint and your chances of success will improve immensely. Take your time and above all, have fun.
Paint Tricks
Since this was a budget-driven paint project, we used less-expensive materials for primer, fillers, and especially the topcoat. In this case, we opted for a single-stage urethane paint. If you're looking for a better overall finish with more gloss, two-stage basecoat/clearcoat paints offer more depth and clarity but are much more expensive. It's not unusual to pay more than $350 for a gallon and a half of basecoat color followed by a gallon and a half of clearcoat that will run $150 or more. That comes out to around $500 just for the topcoat, reducers, and hardeners. Other attendant goodies could be another $50. We won't even get into pearls and specialty paints that can run much more. We'll leave those paints to the pros.

Depending upon usage, you will need at least one gallon of body filler, dozens of lengths of sandpaper, a half-gallon of etching primer, two gallons of fill primer, a couple quarts of activator, one gallon of reducer, and 112 gallons of color to do a full-size car like the El Camino. Establishing a minimum price is easiest--around $500 to $700. From here, the price will escalate based on the quality of the materials and how much you use. Spending $1,000 is not unusual for quality materials. The prices given above are Internet prices; expect to pay more at local stores for the convenience of getting the material immediately.

Here's the El Camino hunkered down alongside Jim Peterson's house. Despite having two garages at his house, the bodywork was all done outside.Stripping the paint can be accomplished several ways, but the quickest (if not nastiest) method is chemical stripper. We used a couple of gallons of aircraft stripper and several disposable paintbrushes. Lay the stripper on thick, let the chemicals work for about 10-15 minutes, and then scrape the lifted paint off with a Bondo spreader as shown, or with a gasket scraper.Once the major layers are removed, you will no doubt find some rust. This is a rust hole in the lower corner behind the right front fender.If the corrosion is not too bad, cut it out and make a fabricated patch to repair the hole as shown here. We used a Craftsman home 110-volt MIG welder to carefully stitch-weld the panel back in place, overlapping the welds to complete the repair. Then the excess weld was ground down to finish the metalwork.The left front fender rusted in the same spot but the corrosion was far worse and required more major surgery. We grafted a whole new patch panel from OPG to the bottom of the fender to repair the fender like new.The tailgate had a couple of bad spots where a screw-in dent puller had been used. We borrowed an inexpensive Uni-Spotter Stud welder to spot-weld pins near the dent and then used a slide hammer dent puller to carefully work the wrinkled tin. With finesse, this tool is a great timesaver. Then we removed the studs and the small weld spots and grinded it smooth.The first step is to identify the problem areas. El Caminos have huge slabs for rear quarter panels, and they're breeding grounds for parking-lot dings and minor dents along the body lines. Running your hand slowly over the panel will identify high and low spots that need attention.After application of the first skim coat of plastic filler, sand in opposite 45-degree angles to prevent creating trenches with the sanding blocks. Use 150-grit sandpaper with a long sanding block to create a smooth finish. After a second skim coat, we used black enamel spray paint as a guidecoat. The black paint will indicate low spots that will need more sanding.
If you want to push the job a little faster, you can hit the first skim coat of Bondo with a DA using 150-grit sandpaper.After short sessions with the sanding blocks, your hands are the best detectors of remaining low spots or wrinkles.The arrow indicates a low spot in the Bondo that will need attention. If there is sufficient thickness, this can be sanded flat. If not, a very thin application of Bondo will fill the void.The '65 El Camino also has a distinct crease or body line that extends the length of the rear quarter-panels. Plastic filler can hide this line, so place a strip of 3M blue tape just above the top of the crease as a guide. Then sand up from the bottom to this line. Then apply another line of tape on the bottom edge of the line and sand down from the top. This technique will return the body line to the quarter-panel.The skim coats of Bondo are what take a serious amount of time. Just the hood, front fenders, roof, quarters, and the tailgate involved 10 days of part-time work--roughly 30 hours.Since we wanted a perfect El Camino bed that will never see anything rougher than a lamb's wool blanket, the dent pounding and plastic filler work also extended to those horizontal and vertical surfaces.After removing previous-owner primer, we discovered Bondo and some light surface rust on the top, which we quickly removed with a dual-action (DA) sander. Smoothing slight wrinkles by using a small amount of Bondo is exactly how plastic filler is supposed to be used.Blocking the roof involves the same work. Remember to sand in 45-degree angles to create a smooth, even finish. Ideal plastic filler thickness should be only a few hundredths of an inch thick.
Mere filler primer does not seal against the elements, so we elected to first spray the El Camino with DuPont Nason Ful-Poxy primer, which is a combination of sealer and primer.The front fenders were left off the car to allow painting everything with more control and to get the primer-sealer around all the fender edges.Here's the entire bed completely painted in the ruddy red version of the primer-sealer. Once this has cured for a couple of days, hand-scuff the primer with 150-grit to remove any surface imperfections.Even with this first primer coat, we were still a long way from being done. Next we used a Trans Star urethane light-gray filler primer. This will be used to build up the inevitable low spots.This led us back to the long boards again, again using a 150-grit dry paper. Note how we've sanded through the gray primer, and in some places even through the red primer, to get an even surface on this door.Since the El Camino was stripped to the bone, we also sanded and primered the dash. We didn't make it perfect, because the top will be covered with a new dashpad.Throughout the painting process we used an affordable Craftsman HVLP gun, which requires low air pressure and applies more material on the surface rather than turning it into overspray. With the high cost of paint, this is the only way to go.
Once the El Camino was in the garage, we hung plastic sheeting over the walls to protect against overspray. Just before we started to spray, we swept the garage floor and sprayed it down with water to keep dust to a minimum.After a final shot with wax and grease remover, shoot time had finally arrived. We shot this photo with the garage door up just to have a photo of technique with the gun at a 45-degree angle to the work surface. Overlap the paint and keep the gun moving. Let the paint dry for at least two days before starting the color-sanding and buffing process

Jack Trice Stadium | Football
Without a doubt, the 55,000-seat Jack Trice Stadium is one of the most beautiful nationally. Located on a 30-acre tract, the stadium is part of the ISU Center on the southeast corner of the Ames campus. The special football atmosphere at Jack Trice Stadium has been enhanced with the installation of a video/scoreboard and permanent lighting prior to the 2002 season. The stadium is named in honor of Jack Trice, Iowa State's first African-American athlete. Trice died from injuries he received in a varsity football game in October 1923.
Jack Trice Stadium offers an unobstructed view of the playing field as well as remarkably easy access and parking. The stadium is part of the Iowa State Center, which includes James H. Hilton Coliseum, C.Y. Stephens Auditorium, J.W. Fisher Theater and the Carl Scheman Continuing Education Building, with lighted parking for 4,000 vehicles.
The stadium was completed in less than two years, from the ground breaking on Oct. 26, 1973, to the first game, a victory over Air Force, on Sept. 20, 1975. In late 1973 and spring of 1974, heavy earth-moving equipment shaped the embankments. A huge, movable form shaped the lower decks with thousands of cubic yards of concrete.
Originally, the stadium had a capacity of 42,500, all on the sidelines. In 1976, end zone bleachers were constructed to increase capacity to more than 46,000. Standing room tickets, sold for each game, brought the capacity to more than 50,000. An all-time record crowd of 54,475 (in the previous configuration) watched the ISU vs. Nebraska game on Oct. 27, 1990.
Completion of the Jacobson Athletic Building and the addition of permanent bleachers in the south end zone, as well as hillside seating in each of the four corners in the stadium changed the capacity to 55,000. A record 56,795 watched the Iowa State-Northern Iowa game Sept. 8 2007.
A $6.2 million, three-level press tower located on the west side was added to Jack Trice Stadium in 1997. The facility includes press and radio-television levels and 49 sky box suites that accommodate 18-32 people per suite.
With a new name and a new look, an overhauled and upgraded club section opened at Jack Trice Stadium at the beginning of the 2008 football season.� Now known as Jack Trice Club, the venue now rivals as one of the best premium seating venues in the Big 12.�
Jack Trice Club amenities include:
The renovated Ralph A. Olsen Building is adjacent to the north end of the Jacobson Athletic Building. The Olsen Building, named in honor of prominent Ellsworth, Iowa, farmer and alumnus, houses the strength and athletic training facilities.
The stadium complex was transformed in 1995-96 with the construction of the state-of-the-art Richard O. Jacobson Athletic Building. The home of Iowa State's football program includes football offices, team meeting rooms, locker rooms, an auditorium and a natural grass field that debuted with the 1996 season opener.

I've been on my high horse – or more accurately, my bicycle – for a while about looking at the benefits of document capture from a different point of view: the customer's customer, and how it affects them. I summarized these ideas in a video tribute to the Tour de France which ended in Paris yesterday… Tour de Office...
But let's look at the details. How does document capture fit into a strategy of improving customer satisfaction, better customer retention, and acquisition? Let's think of it from the point of view of a bank and their retail customers. Banking globally is still one of those businesses where paper plays a crucial role in many customer interactions. Capturing data off of a new account application or a loan origination form is crucial to the bank's business - and doing it accurately and in a timely manner will have a big impact on customer satisfaction.
But these metrics, no matter how significant, do not tell the whole story of the way that document capture and imaging can improve a bank customer's experience. It goes beyond the simple ability to turn a document around, i.e. to process the information on it.
Take a look at this quick video from PT Bank Internasional Indonesia (also known as Maybank) in Indonesia. As a rapidly growing bank, they faced daunting obstacles in scaling up their paper processes, particularly as they surveyed the market for international expansion. Account opening, for example, was a manual, paper-based process, delaying the sharing of information between branches. The goal, for Maybank was a central repository to store documents so that branches and departments that previously faced massive hurdles in sharing information could start to do so effortlessly.
Digitizing and electronically capturing customer documents helps Maybank simplify and iterate account-opening and remittance processes, which reduces turnaround time and improves customer satisfaction. The solution also allows them to update customer records and transactions in real time and then share this information across multiple systems for accurate decision making.
In other words, a significant benefit, and one that has a direct impact on customer satisfaction, was the ability to break down some of the barriers within the bank itself. (I've explored this theme in an earlier blog on Smarter Commerce.)
And let's not forget that by "truncating" (scanning and destroying) the paper early in the process - at the branch - there is a huge benefit to the customer of increased security for their personal information. The loan application they fill in, instead of floating around the branch, and being sent as unencrypted paper around various bank departments, with sensitive personal information, including income and dates, now becomes an electronic document, all access to which is strictly controlled and tracked.
This is just one, real-world example illustrating some of the indirect benefits of document capture. Of course, capturing a document is really just the beginning of a process, most commonly associated with document imaging. It's an academic question whether the true value is in the capturing or the storing (and retrieval!) of documents. The point is that when combined, capturing and imaging documents can play a central role in a customer-centric document strategy, which both improves internal processes and customer satisfaction.

My weed-solarizing experiment has been running for over six weeks now. It's been quite wet and cool this spring, so it was a little slow to start, but we've had a few good hot days now and I am ready to call the winner:
While initially I thought the clear plastic was working the best, the black plastic seems to have the best long term results. Probably the total light deprivation.
Things I would do differently next time:
1. Use bigger sheets of plastic. The garbage bags did the job, especially on an "experiment" basis, but finicky to use on the larger scale I intend to do. Also, I'm sure a heavier weight would change the effectiveness.
2. Cut everything back right down to the ground before laying the plastic. It would go down much smoother, and you wouldn't have such a mess of dried up stuff to clean up afterwards.
3. Sealing out the air seems to make as much difference as sealing out the light. fix the edges really well as well as any seams.
4. If possible, I would try to leave the plastic in place for a full year, as different weeds manifest in different seasons.

- Ouch! No contacts I removed my account from the built-in Android mail app (didn't want conflicts with Zimbra app), and this seems to have removed all of my contacts and calendar entries, and the Zimbra app did not re-add them.
I hope some of the above are changeable via settings I have yet to discover?
I tapped "invite". Added an entry ½ hr hence, and added a colleague.
The alert came up in due course, but never did appear on the web app.
I thought this was a bug, but seeing that the calendar is different than my web/enterprise one, it makes sort of sense. Nothing in my sent folder indicates my colleague was invited.
The lack contact and calendar sync is an absolute show-stopper for me.
Going back to the built-in mail system with Exchange sync. Too bad.

Nay, me fellow. This be a good challenge for t' lubbers. Let us git to mappin' an' show 'em where the gold be layin'.
Why is it that pirates always seem to have a west country accent? I know the south coast was a haven for smugglers (especially Cornwall) and a prime recruiting ground for the press gangs, but surely there can't have been that many pirates.
