Royals Caravan: Strong to the End
Blog Note – The Royals wrapped up another Winter Caravan trip this past weekend. Community Relations Manager Josh Diekmann offers these thoughts on Friday's and Saturday's activities from the road. You can read about the Royals Caravan on the home page of royals.com where MLB.com writer **** Kaegel continues to report on caravan activities.
We quickly found out that taking it easy on the final two days of the Royals Winter Caravan through the Midwest was not going to be an option. Not only did we pack in a ton of stops into a short period of time, but we also found ourselves staring down huge lines of Royals fans that are more than geared up for some Royals baseball.
On Friday morning we got an early start, appearing as the guests of honor at a breakfast reception hosted by our Springdale (Ark.) affiliate, KREB Radio, and Rich Baseball Operations. There was no denying from the breakfast, which had nearly 70 people in attendance and an amazing buffet, that Springdale, the future home of our Double-A affiliate, is excited to be getting professional baseball in northwest Arkansas. The group had great energy and, during an intense Q&A session, quickly got our Caravan crew of David DeJesus , Joey Gathright, "Big John" Mayberry and Royals Director of Player Development J.J. Picollo awake and on their toes.
After stuffing ourselves at breakfast, we headed back to our hotel for a little break and then hit a local shopping center to kill some time – a favorite pastime for ballplayers on the Royals Caravan. We then met back up with the folks from Rich Baseball Operations, who directed us to a meet-and-greet at Jose's Southwest Grille. Signing in the tight quarters of the restaurant proved to be quite a challenge for DeJesus and Gathright, who aren't used to playing so close together in Kauffman Stadium's expansive outfield.
We grabbed lunch before heading out for a surprise visit to R.E. Baker Elementary School, where we met the most excited group of Kindergarten through fourth graders I have ever encountered at an assembly. These kids had a million questions for the guys and were off-the-wall ecstatic when Sluggerrr showed up. We all pretty much agreed that the school visit was good but exhausting, especially for first-time Royals Caravan participant Gathright. While the rest of us concluded Friday's caravan with a late dinner at a Texas Roadhouse in Springfield, Mo., Joey headed for the hotel to hit the sack.
Our final day of the caravan started with a stop that catcher John Buck, who is an outdoor enthusiast, would have loved to be a part of – the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Springfield. We arrived to a long line of fans and ended up signing autographs for more than an hour and then fielding several questions from the local media. The stop was great and completely prepared us for our stop at the Benson Convention Center's Quad Lakes, Hunting, Fishing and Water Expo in Clinton, Mo.
Arriving a little late to the outdoor expo, we were surprised to see such a good group waiting for us. The guys signed for nearly an hour, while Sluggerrr used his popularity to try and steal the show again. It almost completely worked, too, until the big lion met his match: a little Royals fan who wouldn't quit crying! It took a little coaxing, but Sluggerrr finally worked his magic to win her over. She'll be a Royals fan for life now!
With little energy left, we packed up and headed to our final stop of the caravan. Our radio affiliate in Warrensburg, Mo., set up a meet-and-greet for us at Lotspeich Motors, where we showed up to a showroom full of Royals fans waiting in line for autographs. The crowd's enthusiasm re-energized us, and we signed for a solid hour before packing it up again and heading home, closing the book on another chapter of the Royals Winter Caravan. After meeting so many great, supportive fans, we can't wait for April 2 and the Boston Red Sox. Thanks to all you Loyal Royal Fans for a great Winter Caravan!

A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. They are caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. You can't see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury or can take hours or days to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek medical attention right away.
Symptoms may include one or more of the following;
Headaches, Amnesia, Pressure in head, Don't feel right, Nausea or vomiting, Fatigue or low energy, Neck pain, Sadness, Balance problems or dizziness, Nervousness or anxiety, Blurred, double, or fuzzy vision, Irritability, Sensitivity to light or noise, More emotional, Feeling sluggish or slowed down, Confusion, Drowsiness, Change in sleep patterns, Repeating the same question/comment, Feeling foggy or groggy, and Concentration or memory problems (forgetting game plays).
Signs observed by teammates, parents and coaches include:
Appears dazed, Vacant facial expression, Confused about assignment, Forgets plays, Is unsure of game, score, or opponent, Answers questions slowly, Moves clumsily or displays in-coordination, Slurred speech, Shows behavior or personality changes, Seizures or convulsions, Can't recall events prior to hit, Can't recall events after hit, Any change in typical behavior or personality, and Loses consciousness.
Athletes with the signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. Continuing to play with the signs and symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury. There is an increased risk of significant damage from a concussion for a period of time after that concussion occurs, particularly if the athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one. This can lead to prolonged recovery, or even to severe brain swelling (second impact syndrome) with devastating and even fatal consequences. It is well known that adolescent or teenage athlete will often under report symptoms of injuries, and concussions are no different. As a result, education of administrators, coaches, parents and students is the key for student-athlete's safety.
Any athlete even suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the game or practice immediately. No athlete may return to activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems or how quickly symptoms clear, without medical clearance. Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. The new Zackery Lystedt Law in Washington now requires the consistent and uniform implementation of long and well-established return to play concussion guidelines that have been recommended for several years:
I do hereby authorize, without limitation, the use of my and/or my child's likeness in any photos and video taken by ATAVUS or its representative in all forms and media in advertising, publicizing or promoting its services or products, without compensation and/or credit. Said picture(s), photograph(s), video or information shall be and remain the property of ATAVUS and may be used with or without using my and/or my child's name or using initials of a fictitious name. Neither the copy nor the edited photographs or video need be submitted to me for inspection or approval prior to publication. I agree that there is no cost to me for having these materials submitted for publishing. I agree that there will be no cost to me for publication of these materials if in fact these materials are published. I also agree that I will not be compensated for supplying photos or video, whether published or not.
I hereby grant permission for myself and/or my child ("Participant") to participate in all practice sessions, camps, and other activities involving ATAVUS. Permission extends to any travel to and from any and all practice sessions, camps, and other activities sponsored and arranged by ATAVUS.
This permission is granted without reservation.

Slow down and sip, don't gulp, the holiday cheer
(Page 3 of 3)
My father is staying with me, so maybe you should stop by and take his training course in slow. It may help you through these pre-holiday weeks. My dad's morning ablutions take hours. Like a Jewish matador, he observes the honored — and time-consuming — rituals of the prune, the oatmeal and boiling water with lemon. The man cannot be rushed. If I suggest going out for a walk after lunch and he says yes, it could be approaching dinner by the time he rounds up his shoes, polishes his sunglasses, finishes the chapter in his book and makes just a few phone calls.
We can't help what genes drive our engines, but we can make thoughtful decisions about how to spend our time and energy. We have these days, these two or three weeks, to plan our parties, celebrate the coming New Year and process the events of the past 12 months.
When we're 93, like my dad, and we look back, we won't be sorry if we slow down in the midst of all the tumult, to smell the holly wreaths and sip the hot chocolate.

May 24, 2016
Tallahassee, FL-November 24, 2012
Lofty Pursuits in Tallahassee is making handmade candy canes.
The shop is just one of a handful in the entire country that still makes candy canes by hand.
The candy canes take about 40 minutes to make. Each batch makes about 80 candy canes.
The candy canes come in many flavors including cherry, eggnog and citrus.
"It's a lot of fun because people come in and they've never seen anything like it before so when they react because you're just blown their minds, it's really neat. It's really rewarding," says candy cane maker, Wes Raley.
Lofty Pursuits makes the canes from now until January. You can stop by the store and watch them be made from 2 to 7 p.m. Friday through Monday.

Everything felt great *except* that the toe box swept in too soon on the outside, causing the 3 toes on the outside of my foot to be in constant contact with the shoe, very uncomfortable. The toe box may accommodate most users, but not me and a few other people I've read about. FWIW, I purchased this shoe in 11.5EE and I had a good 1/3"-1/2" of room between my large toe and the end of the shoe...so this wasn't simply a size issue.
The shoe was lightweight, appeared to be made of quality materials at a good price point, and looked good too...I just couldn't see myself trying to Crossfit in them. I've ordered a pair of MT20's, hoping that they'll have a roomier toe box. Only time will tell though, I guess.
If you've got narrow or regular width feet, then go for it...I'm sure you'll love the shoe (assuming you order the correct size). Otherwise, if you've got wide feet, you may want to keep this brief review in mind; as I wear a size 9.5W Army-issued desert boot, and these 11.5W MX20's never gave my toes a chance.
I still gave the shoe 3 stars for the good qualities I listed about it, but due to the toe box issue; I couldn't rate it any higher. I know I have wider feet, but this was also a wide shoe and this issue is documented elsewhere too. Just part of the design. I'd love to see NB come out with an updated version of this shoe with a better toe box that would accommodate a natural splaying of the toes.
Good luck.
But otherwise a decent CrossFit shoe.

Break 'em off something fierce with the Rome Women's Detail Rocker Snowboard. Buttering off lips, popping shifty ollies off rollers, pressing your tail down a nice-looking box just got more fun thanks to the Detail Rocker's JibPop rocker profile and Glass Reverse V Pressure Pop technology. You may leave a trail of crushed male egos and maybe even body parts behind you, but who's counting?
- JibPop Rocker profile gives you ultimate catch-free freedom with a large flat zone in the center to lock into rails and rocker from the inserts to the end for pressing and buttering
- Pressure Pop Glass Reverse V flips the script on the standard V and directs power from your feet to the middle of your board for boosting bigger ollies
- Pop Core Matrix core features dual zones of low-density wood with a matrix flexible poplar wood to contribute to the overall forgiving feel
- Straight Biax laminate supports a natural flex for forgiving response through presses, jumps, and jibs
- True twin shape makes the board feel as familiar going switch as it does with your best foot forward
- Impact base was specially formulated with a super-dense extruded structure for combating rails, logs, rocks, jibs, and asphalt

Pretty rad
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This board makes an impression. I nought it in the outlet so I didn't have much choice. Lucky I'm small. The graphics are harder to make out in the snow but such a great board to use
So Buttery
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this board for a few years now and it has the most flex out of most women's boards I have ever rode. Great park board. I would not recommend it for powder days because you may nose drive or catch an edge. It is also made very short. I am pretty tall and the largest size Rome makes in the Detail is 149 which is unfortunate but I still fell in love with this board and it is my go to park board.

Recap: OSU-Purdue Heart of Dallas Bowl

10:58 a.m. I'm about to head to @OSUGameDay. Come hang out there!
11:01 a.m. Cooper Bassett was, understandably, the first guy out of the tunnel. Fellow senior Alex Elkins carrying Big Stick. #OKState
11:02 a.m. #OKState game captains are Joseph Randle, Cooper Bassett, Quinn Sharp, Lane Taylor and Calvin Barnett.
11:03 a.m. Purdue wins toss, will defer. #OKState

11:09 a.m. Mike Gundy goes three-and-out on his first series calling plays. Who's up next?

11:11 a.m. Josh Stewart back to return the punt. The adventure continues. #OKState
11:11 a.m. Wow. First trickeration of the day. Purdue fake punt deep in own territory. Webster picks up first down with own legs. #OKState
11:14 a.m. #OKState has gotten good pressure on Marve so far. Tyler Johnson had it on third down. NOW the Boilers will punt.
11:17 a.m. Fade-to-Chuck is ugly, but works. Charlie Moore with the 4-yard touchdown #OKState.
11:19 a.m. Four plays, 19 yards, 1:19 on the scoring drive for #OKState. Drive was sparked by a 64-yard punt return by Josh Stewart.

11:21 a.m. Purdue will start its drive at its 23. #OKState
11:22 a.m. Marve pass tipped by Barnett and picked off by Shamiel Gary. #OKState takes over at the Purdue 26.
11:24 a.m. For some reason, announcers have screwed up Blake Jackson's name all year. But that 'Gabe Jackson' reference is a new low.
11:25 a.m. Blake Jackson...wait for it...catches the ball. In traffic. Touchdown #OKState
11:28 a.m. So if this gets out of hand quickly, which QB is getting mop up duty?
11:29 a.m. So far Purdue has a turnover and a big special teams miscue. Those will lose close games between 2 good teams. In this mismatch... #OKState
11:29 a.m. Lunt. RT @anthonyVslater So if this gets out of hand quickly, which QB is getting mop up duty?
11:31 a.m. Alex Elkins is down for #OKState after the kickoff
11:32 a.m. Elkins walking off under own power. #OKState
11:36 a.m. Run game has been effective for Purdue on this drive. Boliermakers now in #OKState territory. Shavers is a solid player.
11:36 a.m. Shavers rips off a 24-yard run down the sideline. Missed tackle by Gilbert on the play. Purdue inside the #OKState 25
11:39 a.m. McCartney misses the field goal. #OKState takes over at own 20 leading 14-0 late in the first quarter.
11:41 a.m. RT @NewsOKSports: #OKState wth a 3-1 edge in big special team plays after that missed FG. Will the fake punt be the Purdue highlight?
11:43 a.m. Blake Jackson having himself a day. Is left wide open in middle of field for a 26-yard gain. Great play fake by Chelf, too. #OKState
11:45 a.m. Jeremy Smith with a nice 12-yard run on his first carry of the day. #OKState
11:46 a.m. End first quarter: #OKState 14, Purdue 0. Cowboys will have second-and-8 from the Purdue 23 when we come back.
11:47 a.m. Clint Chelf 7/8 passing for 66 yards and 2 TDs in the first quarter. #OKstate rolling.
11:47 a.m. Have taken five calls this AM from readers upset they can't see #OKState-Purdue because they don't have ESPNU. A lot for New Year's Day.
11:49 a.m. Josh Stewart punt return and Shamiel Gary interception providing the difference. Total yards advantage for #OKState 113-98
11:50 a.m. Chuck Moore just dropped what would have been his second TD of the day. Instead, it's third and 8 #OKState
11:51 a.m. On 4th and 1, Walsh package comes in. Play fake and finds a wide open...Jeremy Seaton? Touchdown. #OKState. Cashion rejoices!
11:51 a.m. Walsh made that read and delivered that throw under pressure. @jasonkersey rejoices. #OKState
11:52 a.m. #OKState leads 21-0 in the opening minute of the second quarter.
11:52 a.m. Jeremy Seaton would probably be Purdue's #1 option on offense.
11:53 a.m. First quarter stats #okstate pic.twitter.com/vrn8n7MS
11:54 a.m. MT @TKILLAM: RT @JestOnAQuest: Is this Purdue running back ever gonna take his mouthpiece out of the top of his helmet?
11:57 a.m. Holmes makes a heck of a catch for Purdue, but then fumbles. Recovered by Joe Mitchell. Forced by Lyndell Johnson. #OKState
11:57 a.m. Now we're going to review the play. Looks like Holmes may have been down. #OKState
11:58 a.m. Call stands. #OKState ball at the Purdue 47.
11:59 a.m. There's really no excuse to blow a replay call, which the Pac-12 crew clearly did on that Purdue fumble. #OKState
11:59 a.m. Kawann Short with his first impact play. Gets Chelf for the 12-yard sack. Chelf tried to flip ball to Randle but was ruled down. #OKState
12:01 p.m. Chelf had Isaiah Anderson down the sideline--the corner had fallen down--but the ball is just a bit overthrown. #OKState will punt.
12:03 p.m. Purdue's drive chart: Punt-Interception-Missed FG-Fumble. Finding diverse ways to suck.
12:06 p.m. #OKState doing all a good team do when playing a lesser foe. Playing well and clean while in control
12:07 p.m. Sloppy play all around. Marve fumbles snap, bobbled at least two other times before rec by Purdue. Then Barnett called for a PF #OKState
12:08 p.m. Gotta love Barnett's aggressiveness, but he needs to learn how to control it. It won't swing this game, but it has in past #OKState
12:10 p.m. Purdue goes for it on 4th and 2 at the #OKState 28. Marve had the FB Freytag WIDE open in flat. Bobbled and dropped. OSU ball.
12:10 p.m. Like that underhanded pitch/lateral by Marve. Looked like a shortstop starting a 6-4-3 DP.
12:13 p.m. First designed run for Chelf picks up nine yards. #OKState
12:17 p.m. Jeremy Smith gets into the end zone from five yards out. Play set up by a 31-yard pass from Chelf to Stewart. #OKState leads 28-0
12:17 p.m. Purdue would go 1-8 in Big 12 play. And that battle for last against Kansas would be a good one.
12:18 p.m. So tell me again why #OKState wouldn't start next season with Clint Chelf at QB?
12:19 p.m. Josh Stewart now with 101 catches for 1,210 yards this season. He's a sophomore.
12:25 p.m. #OKState gets two sacks on this drive. Another guy playing well? Tyler Johnson. One of the Pokes' starting DEs next season.
12:32 p.m. #OKstate up 28-0 on Purdue at halftime in a game slightly more competitive than the Savannah State one.
12:32 p.m. Interesting experience. Listening to Hunziker/Holcomb/Allen on radio, 10 secs of muted ESPNU broadcast. Suspenseless, just like this game
12:33 p.m. It turns out Purdue is who we thought they were, and this game is what we thought it would be. #OKState up 28-0 at the half.
12:40 p.m. Halftime stats #okstate pic.twitter.com/MzdtZ4gs
12:45 p.m. I wonder if @drewbrees is still watching the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
12:56 p.m. Purdue gets the ball to start the second half. So it's got that going for it. #OKState
12:58 p.m. Alex Elkins is back out there to start the second half. Was injured in the first half. #OKState
1:00 p.m. Wowza. Justin Gilbert strips Ross on pass, scooped up by Daytawion Lowe who returns it 37 yards to the house. #OKState up 35-0
1:01 p.m. That's the first TO Justin Gilbert has accounted for this season (FF, FR, INT). Also first #OKState defensive TD this season.
1:12 p.m. Ike Anderson has gotten open deep twice today. Chelf has juuuust overshot him both times. #OKState
1:14 p.m. That may have been the best ball I've ever seen Chelf throw. Drops it perfectly into Chuck Moore's hands for a 28-yard gain. #OKState

Is my roof sound?
1 2 Next page >
Q. I had my house roofing redone. It's an older house with cedar shakes. Upon completion, I went into the attic and noticed a lot of nails that weren't nailed into the rafters and the sheathing end joints butting between rafters, attached to nothing. Also, furring strips weren't removed, allowing sunlight to come in at the end of the roof. On occasion, I have water leaks downstairs. I questioned this repair with the Building Department, and was told it was my responsibility to get a building permit. Do you think the contractor should have informed me? Should the furring strips be removed before the sheathing is installed? Is there a specific code for how many nails should be applied per panel? A lot of non-compliance construction and repairs have been done since Hurricane Sandy. Suddenly everybody's a contractor.

Sandy, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - The Portland Timbers will aim to continue
their magical season on Sunday when the club travels to Rio Tinto Stadium to
face Real Salt Lake in the first leg of the Western Conference finals.
After finishing the regular season with 57 points and the top seed in the
ultra-competitive West, first-year head coach Caleb Porter has his side ready
to vie for their first appearance in MLS Cup after vanquishing Seattle
Sounders FC in the semifinal round.
The Timbers grabbed the upper hand in the series after earning a 2-1 first-leg
victory over Seattle at CenturyLink Field, putting the Sounders in a hole
heading back to Jeld-Wen for Thursday's return fixture.
Playing in front of their home fans, Portland raced out to a quick lead in the
29th minute when Will Johnson converted a penalty kick and Diego Valeri fired
one home to give the hosts a 2-0 and 4-1 aggregate lead at the intermission.
Mamadou Danso made it 3-0 to the Timbers in the 47th before Seattle mounted a
brief comeback with goals from DeAndre Yedlin and Eddie Johnson two minutes
apart to make it 3-2 to Portland with 15 minutes to play.
But the Timbers were able to stem the tide and hold on for the 5-3 aggregate
win, sending Porter's men to Real Salt Lake for the first leg of the Western
Conference final.
Porter explained what it meant for his team to reach the Conference finals:
"I think it means that we're three games away and we have two teams in our
way. I think if you went in the locker room you'll see a team that's happy,
but they won't be truly happy unless we win it all," the coach said.
"We're not going to get ahead of ourselves. We're not going to think past this
next round. Obviously, we have to get to the championship in order to raise a
trophy, and we've got a difficult team ahead of us in Salt Lake. We'll keep
taking it one at a time, but we're getting closer. This team genuinely
believes that we have a realistic shot at this. It means a lot, but we're not
going to think about what it means until, hopefully, the end."
"It was important mentality-wise. It could be easy to get into that bunker-
mode early, but we didn't. Its one thing to say it and another to do it.
We're happy we were able to execute," Johnson said of putting Seattle under
pressure early. "I thought some of the stuff we played and chances we created
in the first half was excellent and we were rewarded with two good goals."
After falling behind to the Galaxy by a 1-0 count after the first leg, RSL
rallied for a 2-0 and 2-1 aggregate victory over Los Angeles on Thursday,
putting an end to the Galaxy's quest for a third straight title.
Sebastian Velasquez gave RSL the lead on the night 35 minutes into
proceedings. The match went into extra time with the aggregate score knotted
at 1-1, and Chris Schuler made himself a hero by sliding in to stab home a
free kick from Javier Morales in the 102nd minute, giving RSL the result.
After losing to the Galaxy in the West finals in 2011, RSL head coach Jason
Kreis lamented the magnitude of the win.
"It's huge," he said. "I think it just builds an incredible amount of momentum
for us. An incredible amount of confidence and positivity. To get that goal in
the first half, I think was giant for us. It took a big, big monkey off our
"He was massive," Kreis said of Schuler's effort. "Again, a number of balls he
stepped in front of from (Landon) Donovan and (Robbie) Keane today. He made
physical challenges and completed the first pass. All those little things were
huge for us. Once again this game I walk away from it and I say 'I'm really
happy that Chris Schuler scored the game winning goal because he deserved it."
The clubs met three times during the regular season with 0-0 and 3-3 draws and
a 4-2 RSL victory at Rio Tinto on Aug. 30.

Hi everybody!
I've been an Eastmans subscriber for years but just recently started looking over the forum...lots of good "up-to-date" info for a flat-lander that can't be out there monitoring the mountain, thanks!
I'm a Marine combat vet (Three tours OEF/OIF 1999-2005). I've been dreaming of hunting the Northern Bighorns with my father ever since my last combat tour in '05 but college/career etc. always seemed to take precedence. This year I was able to commit to an Oct general deer tag in Reg Y. We are planning on being in WY from Oct 12 thru Oct 22. My father and I know the Bighorns quite well for non-residents due to camping/fly fishing trips many years ago...and would like to concentrate our hunting in unit 25 if the weather allows (Love to set up base camp near N. Tongue R.). Is this too high for the Muleys at that time of year or should we be concentrating on a lower elevation unit? Units we'll be able to hunt include...25,27,28,30,32,33,163,169. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Gibraltar Mount Questions
Posted 07 April 2009 - 10:19 AM
Here's another question. I currently piggyback the NP on my SCT. I have 2 rings on the NP - on each is attached a dovetail saddle (I think that's what they're called). On the SCT is a dovetail rail and I am able to slide the NP on to the rail. This has worked well as it is easy to install and I can keep the rings on the NP even when it's stored in the case. Does the Gibraltar mount have some way to mount a dovetail rail so that I can use the same system as I use with the SCT? I'm really hoping to avoid having to take the rings off when I use the NP on the Gibraltar.
Posted 07 April 2009 - 11:12 AM
The clamshell attaches to the Gilbralter cradle from the bottom with 2 wing knob screws. A TeleVue/Viven dovetail adapter part #AVT-1011 can be bolted to the bottom of the clamshell and can be used on both Gilbralter mounts and ones that have a Vixen saddle. Don't know if that will work with your SCT, but here's a link to the part.

was never entirely comfortable trying to get two relatively small bolts through their holes while balancing the scope at the same time.
I found that keeping one stud(without the wing knob) in the clam shell ring helps with getting the ota set into the cradle more quickly, but agree a dovetail clamp system would be easier.

My own experience using a similar scope is that this mount is somewhat problematic when used with eyepieces like the ones you have (I own similar telescope AND eyepieces).
Th Gibralter is a beautiful mount. Truely. However, I found balance to be incredibly frustrating.
If you find yourself going from your 31mm Nagler to your 3 or 4mm eyepieces, or Nagler zoom (I constantly find myself swapping from superwide fields to high power in my TV 101), you will find that the balance changes SO dramatically that you will CONSTANTLY be fiddling with the altitude tension screw. Of all the Alt-az mounts I have owned, I actually found the Gibralter to be the POOREEST choice for this kind of usage.
After 2 weeks of the Gibralter, I had so many nose-dives when changing eyepieces that I couldn't stand it.
The problem of course is that to get the big eyepieces to balance, for low power sweeping, you have to mount the scope so that the balance point puts the front of the telescope pretty far foward of the center of balance as compared to when used with high powers. You will want it this way because that is your 35mm is your "Sweeping" eyepice, you will want the scope to flow in both axises.
And when you want to zoom in on a target, you will have to TIGHTEN the alt lock before you pull the heavy or the scope will nose dive. Of course then it won't want to BUDGE with the 3-6 zoom for minor movement to center your target. So you will have to LOOSEN the tension. screw..
Then you will want to move on to the next target. So now you have to TIGHTEN the tension screw...
And so on, and so on..
Think about this long and hard. Try to recall your typical viewing with the scope while piggybacked, and if you find that you DO follow this kind of pattern, I think you will find the Gibralter to be tedious to use.
It is a BEAUTIFUL mount, and if you use for example ALL 1.25" Televue Plossls, the Gibralter will be a lovely mount to use.
But having looked at your eyepieces, I think you will not find it so practical and will tire of it quickly.
Diskmounts cost a lot, but the reason so many NP 101 owners seem to like them is because they eliminate this kind of tedious fiddling.
Or, do what I did.. Pick up a used LXD55 for $275. All of that is eliminated and even if you don't use the Go-to, you still have motorized sweeping and NO worries about balance.. The penalty is that it weighs only a little more, but I can still carry out the mount in one trip and the scope in another. Setup time is less than 5 minutes.
Good luck if you get the Gibralter. They are BEAUTIFUL mounts, but not particularly pleasant to use when used in the fashion I mentioned above. If you are only going to use it for low power sweeping and don't change eyepices a lot between light and heavy, you may find it delightful.

The first part of the solution was to invest in the Televue Brass adapter which allows for less of a difference in weight between my lightest and heaviest eyepieces.
The second part of the solution was to use the threaded hole in the mount that is normally used for the encoders to add a 3rd tension knob. Using this allows me to not have to tighten and untighten the supplied tension knobs - which I could never set correctly after adjusting.
I posted some pictures of the how I added this knob on the thread titled 'Riser for TeleVue Gibraltar'...which is currently on page 3 of this forum.

Is the Discmount the only option for a system that I don't have to be continuously fiddling with?

I've been hearing 2 complaints about the Gibraltar system.
1. Balance issues when changing EPs.
2. Jiggles when focusing or slewing.
#1 I'm assuming is a mount (head) issue. Yes? Would the larger Gibraltar head (for the NP127) help at all?
#2 I would think is more of a tripod issue? I thought the Gibraltar tripod was supposed to be fairly sturdy.
Posted 19 April 2009 - 03:47 AM
You're right - number one is a mount head issue. From my perspective, the bearings on the Gibraltar head are just not large enough for a scope with the weight and length of a TV102. I know people who have used shorter scopes on it, such as the TV85, and they have far less problems. I had an SV90 on it at one point, and it worked much better, although there was still vibration while focusing. I haven't used the head designed for the 127, so I'll leave that to those who have.
With regard to number two, I never experienced a problem with jiggling while moving the scope. But focusing the TV102 was always a problem, and again the length of the scope had a lot to do with it. In order to hold its position, I would have to tighten down both bearings, which causes almost a tuning fork type of vibration between the scope and the mount head when focusing at higher powers.
The Gibraltar tripod is fine. The Teegul mount throws the weight of the scope away from the center of the tripod, so I get some vibration as a result. The Gibraltar tripod was designed for mounting a scope directly over the center of the tripod, not for side mounting. Hope that helps.
Posted 19 April 2009 - 07:02 AM
ALL of them have worked fairly well when using light eyepieces of similar weight.
Most have NOT been good when used with eyepieces like 35mm Pan then jumping to a 5mm Radian. For all of them, I felt like I was always dorking around with the tension screws. First having tighten when changing from heavy/light eyepieces to keep from having a nose dive, then having to tweak the tension to get smooth motion AFTER the eyepiece was in. The tension that works for a Nagler zoom is MUCH different from the tension that works with a 31mm Nagler for slight altitude changes.
Personally, I tried maybe 5 Alt-az mounts and experienced the same thing with all of them, but the Gibralter was the worst.
I never made the leap to the Diskmount or the Half-hitch, but to me if you HAVE to have an Alt Az, these would be the top choices, and of these, my own preference would be the Half Hitch. These guys have THE alt-az mount solution in my own opinion. They have given a very thorough look at the shortcomings of the Alt Az design and to my mind, have perfected it (but that is because I like slow motion and Diskmount does not provide this).
BUT.. I didn't BUY one.. By the time you configure it on a tripod and add Encoders and a DSC computer, you will have let go of some serious money. AND... It won't be that much lighter than my own recommendation.
I use an old Meade LXD55 mount on a pair of Vixen HAL 110 legs. This setup weighs only a bit more than one of these other mounts, offers ELECTRONIC slow motion control for sweeping and panning, have BUILT IN digital setting circles, and you never ever ever need to touch a clutch for changing eyepieces. And wait, wait, this news JUST OFF THE PRESSES - AND you get HIGH POWER TRACKING MOTORS built in FREE
The problem with the LXD 75 and new CG5 is that the tripods are overkill for a 4" refractor.
So, you can spend FAR more money on a top of the line Alt-ax mount and get an acceptable alt-az mount, then throw $400 more on it and get electronics, or you can pay $275 for a used LXD-55 that weights maybe 7 lbs more. For either the Diskmount or the Half-hitch, my bet is that you are looking at a two trip setup, and I do that with my LXD55/TV 101 all the time. Takes 2 minutes longer to set up. (4 or 5 if I actually want to do an true alignment so I can get Go-to).
A really superb Alt-az IS a great tool, But to get a really superb Alt-az ain't cheep, and you STILL won't get the advantage of a tracking motor for high power work.
Good luck with your decision. Consider it carefully though. Most people that use them will tell you they love their Diskmounts or Half-hitch mounts, and I believe them.
I will tell you that I never met an Alt-az mount that I liked (unless it was Go-to).
Once again, the classis Cloudy-Nights two-camp battle-lines are drawn.. LOL.
Posted 19 April 2009 - 01:46 PM
Best advice is to attend a star party somewhere and try out the various alt-az mounts to see what works for you - and save yourself a lot of time, money, and aggravation!

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Toni Harris, marketing specialist from Constant Contact in Houston, will lead a workshop June 20 at the Small Business Development Center in Port Arthur, focusing on growing business with e-mail and social media.
PORT ARTHUR – After a heartbreaking loss to Navarro College, the Lamar State College-Port Arthur Seahawks return home Wednesday, Jan. 9, to try to break a two-game losing skid as they take on Kilgore College in Region XIV action.
Tipoff for tonight's game is 7 p.m. at the Carl Parker Center on the campus of Lamar State.
CORSICANA – With the game tied and possession of the ball, Lamar State College – Port Arthur men's basketball team held its fate in its own hands … then it disappeared just as quickly. A turnover by the Seahawks with 2.1 seconds left and a buzzer-beating basket by Navarro handed the Bulldogs an 81-79 win in overtime Saturday, Jan. 5.
At the onset of the 2012-13 season, no one knew anything about the Lamar State College – Port Arthur Seahawks.
Now, the word is getting out.
The Seahawks, at 9-0 overall and 3-0 in Region XIV play, have moved into the Division I national poll, landing at 19th after this past week's wins over Trinity Valley Community College and Panola College.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Ned Yost media session: September 5
Looking to the future
Giving Gregor Blanco the day off allows Jai Miller to start in the outfield today. Yost said they will keep moving guys in and out of the lineup in order to give everyone opportunities. He added that the competition for next year's roster is practically wide open all over, and the addition of potential minor league players makes the mix even more competitive.
Back in the swing of things
The manager also discussed Josh Fields' recent play, saying the infielder is doing pretty well offensively and looks okay on defense as well. Yost said Fields has produced decent at-bats nearly every time and has had a couple tough plays at third base, which he believes is somewhat to be expected this early into Fields' return from the D.L.
Bullpen update
Kanekoa Texeira has been playing catch, but has not thrown off a mound yet. He is recovering well from a right elbow strain and has not had any pain, but Yost said there is no need to push him. He expects the hurler to return sometime between now and the end of the year.
Also, Yost thinks Robinson Tejeda has looked good since returning from the D.L. and hasn't really missed a beat except for one outing in which he wasn't exceptionally sharp.

I don't think anyone saw this coming…not even Carlos Silva.
But the round-mound of pounds is 7-0…leading the team in quality starts (7) and averaging six innings per outing.
All this for Milton Bradley…who would've thunk it!
If the Cubs win Sunday they'll be 4-0-1 in its last five series…all of which are against competing teams: Philly, Texas, L.A. & St. Louis.
They're currently 6-4 during this stretch and have closed the gap in the Central to six games behind Cincinnati.
Following Sunday's game the Cubs begin an 11-day, nine-game road trip through Pittsburgh, Houston & Milwaukee…all bottom feeders in the division.
A winning road trip keeps Chicago in the race for the season's second half…using June 1 as my benchmark for pretenders and contenders.
With the Cubs poised for a long winning streak, something they haven't done all year, and its best opportunity to salvage the first two months of the season…a win Sunday gives hope for our men in blue.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Britney Spears' arrival in Las Vegas for her two-year residency in Sin City came complete with the kind of glitzy entertainment the town's known for. Appearing with her were fire-breathers, contortionists, snake charmers and hunky dancers.
A block of the bustling Vegas strip was closed down as a convoy of SUVs carrying Spears and her entourage showed up at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Her run there begins on Dec. 27, just in time for the large crowds expected for New Year's Eve.
PHOTOS: Britney Spears arrives in Las Vegas
She plans to do 50 shows each in 2014 and '15.
Casino officials hope having Spears around will draw younger customers to the city for the show — and hopefully, to spend the weekend.

Good propane fueled generator
Comment:I bought mine a few months ago via the website. It's a good generator and was shipped well. Mine arrived with all of the parts and tools, other than the typical hand tools. The battery was fully charged, so my first time starting it was via the electric starter. I've only run mine on propane. My applications is for backup power through a transfer switch that my electrician installed. One small note for new users: I found that it takes a little less choke on a cold start when using propane, but that makes sense since the fuel is already a gas when entering the system (compared to gasoline). I recommend this generator to others if it makes sense for your application.EdSE Pennsylvania

Hybrid Propane/Gas Generator
Comment:Great buy for the money! Duel fuel/electric start. I would recommend this generator highly. Like the fact that I can switch between propane & gasoline.MareTampa

What a generator!
Comment:I was looking for a generator for camping and heard about this hybrid. All my camping equipment runs off of propane. I was getting the generator for my RV. Instead of using propane for one and gas for another I just use the propane for camping and the gas for around the house projects. I'm vary pleased with the performance of both gas and propane. And I recommend this product.Larry

So far...she appears to be a decent purchase
Comment:Bought Scratch and Dent model.....$150 savings ....unit received extra fast. On arrival, saw no visual scratches or dents...but it came in another model shipping box. Unit had problems starting on LP...so I added gas and she fired right up...then ran for 2 hours on gas and switched over to LP. Had to push the spring on the LP regulator several times to get the LP to run at full speed. But eventually everything is running correctly. Then ran unit with load on 1500 watts 120 volt load for 30 minutes and that functioned correctly, tripping and resetting breaker multiple times. The governor picked up the load consistently. Electric start is the only model to buy!!! Next stop, building an EMP/weather resistant metal enclosure to keep this puppy safe. Remember...for EMP protection unit must be stored in insulated metal enclosure, but you gotta be able to take out/move the insulation on each side and open doors so unit will stay cool when running. Kuddos to www.electricgeneratordepot.com ...aka the Chinese for a product that gives piece-of-mind.ScottMt. Airy, MD

December 13th, 2013
Nice unit
Comment:I putting it together which took about 45 mins, I was able to fill it with oil, put Gas in it and turn the Key and away it went. Fired right up and ran for about an hr without issue. I haven't tried it on Prophane yet, but pretty sure it will work fine. Very nice unit for the price..Nascar2257Michigan
December 13th, 2013
Great service, great price
Comment:this was purchased as a scratch and dent model. There was only some minor cosmetic damage. However the rope would not retract when I tried to start it. It started right up with the electric start. I called support and Mike sent me out a new complete assembly for the recoil(easily replaced) no charge. This was a great surprise. The product went together easily enough. It takes a good deal of patience to get the oil in the filler point, but it is what it is. Not a deal breaker for sure. All in all, a great purchase. Don't be afraid to purchase on the scratch and dent page.!!!!LainPaPennsylvania

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Beginning Tuesday, you may drive a little faster on some D.C. roadways.
In an emergency ruling, Mayor Vincent Gray asked the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to raise the speed limit on four major roadways shown above.
DDOT evaluated the roadways and found that the speed limits could be safely altered.
"Residents have asked us to reconsider the posted maximums in these areas and we're confident these changes can be made without compromising safety," Mayor Gray said.
The changes on New York Avenue, Bladensburg Road, North Capitol Street and Canal Road go into effect on 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 18.
DDOT hopes to complete a "comprehensive review" of all District speed limits by Oct. 1, 2014.
