iPhone 'SQM' app available soon ... your thots?
Posted 21 February 2013 - 11:32 AM
Their reasoning being that they are coding and calibrating for a only a couple of devices (4/4s, 5?), it should work reasonably well. Does iOS allow for complete control of the camera h/w? I presume setting the focus point to an arbitrary 'near' to spread out the incoming light, and having complete control of the camera's exposure/gain settings is along the lines of standardizing a reading.
fwiw, for comparison:
SQM FOV for HWHM is 42°
SQM-L FOV for HWHM is 10°
iPhone 4 FOV ~60°x47°
iPhone 4s FOV ~56°x43°
No relation to the app or anyone involved, just very curious; if it works it would be a great app/equipment, and the sudden jump in crowd-sourced 'SQM' reading would be fantastic.

But my reservations are only imagined at this point and the app may have taken care of all this so I'm eager to see what it's really like.

Wonder if this will be more of a gimmick? In the meantime, I'll just peer skyward with my good old eyes to estimate magnitude and compare results with my astro buddies. KISS principle.
After all, these days there is an app for everything including an app for a mirror -- referring to the one that shuts off the screen so you can see your reflection.
Maybe I should consider an app for collimation!!!
Posted 22 February 2013 - 05:40 PM
A collimation app would be kind of neat. You could have circles for the various rings and just line them up visually. No guess work involved?
Posted 22 February 2013 - 06:02 PM
Down to about 21 MPSAS, to be useful at all the 1-sigma error should not exceed 0.2 magnitude.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 06:22 PM
Posted 23 February 2013 - 06:46 AM
Seriously Jason, you really, really should consider this. It would be a great way to share your knowledge. I'll look for it on ITunes soon.
Posted 02 March 2013 - 11:46 AM
For amateur astronomers like you there will be a pro version (in app or separate build) with proper SQM readings, google like darkness map (pinpoints of you and other dark sky meter user with SQM readings) and a GFS based clear sky clock.
Currently we are testing and getting close to releasing the app. Hopefully in April.
Posted 02 March 2013 - 11:55 AM
That sounds like a really good app that'll have great effects on reducing light pollution. I can't wait to try it out.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:29 AM
I tried running a test from inside a closet but the SQM would not give me a reading. Guess it was too dark.
The latest results seem to be getting closer on my iPhone 5. Keep up the good work.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 02:59 AM
Thanks for chiming in, and developing the app! If it isn't too much trouble or leaking 'programming secrets', could you share some insights into how you might have overcome some of the perceived issues using a iPhone's camera to do the work? I'm a little weary if the eventual results is subject to larger-than-expected variations due to iPhone H/W and iOS constraints/limitations, and all the data being fed to IDA ends up being affected.

How will this app have great effects on reducing light pollution? It won't affect those that don't care about the night skies, and have bright yard lights, etc.; nor city light pollution. Just curious as to how this might benefit in reducing LP.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 09:53 AM
Posted 03 March 2013 - 10:54 AM
However, it will be a great addition for astronomers, if it's accurate!
Posted 03 March 2013 - 11:02 AM
I agree. It allows me to gather data that I can put into a coherent product for the masses. For instance, I could ask to have the streetlights turned off in my neighborhood, gather some data using this tool, then get the same data points (using GIS systems) with the lights on to demonstrate what an effect it has on my skies. In addition, just from a 'neighbor' standpoint, I can show them what an effect leaving on a giant flood light has on my skies too.
You're right, the app won't magically reduce light pollution. But, it gives you easy access to data that can be used to aid the cause. And, if the app is priced right, it'll give us access to many more data points than we've had easy access to in the past. Finally, I'm assuming it's tied into some IDA database. This allows the IDA to gather local decentralized data from anyone with an Android/iOS device. That's a huge number of people these days. Even if you take into account AA's are a small number of those people, I guarantee you that the majority of us are using smart phones... ready access to volunteers to collect data is nice.
Anyways, that's where I was going with that. What do you think?

With over 20 years of success in the skin care industry, Topix Pharmaceuticals has a wide range of formulas targeting specific troubling skin issues. Topix products include award-winning formulas, many of which are routinely recommended by dermatologists to their patients. If you want prescription quality skin care without the expense, Topix is a good brand to try. You'll want to carefully research which product best suits your skin, so begin with Topix Reviews.
Here you will find all Topix reviews submitted to the SkinStore web site. Read through all of them if you are not familiar with Topix, or go directly to the product by clicking on the link for reviews for only that product. Want to be a contributor to Topix Reviews? Simply log on to your account and find the product you've purchased and tested, then write about the results. All honest reviews, whether pro or con, are helpful to the SkinStore community.
Skin care products by Topix have helped many women and men find relief from distressing issues like acne, sun damage, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. Topix reviews represent customers with these conditions (though we could always use more), so if you are looking for products targeting the issue you struggle with most, this is a great place to start. Topix reviews are highly individualized, so take that into consideration for both glowing reports of success, and the person who found that the product just didn't work for her skin.
When reading or writing Topix reviews, keep in mind that a review will not be as technical as a clinical study. Still, a customer-written review has tremendous power, because when we want to try something new, whom do we ask for advice and intuitively trust the most? We listen to our mothers and sisters and best friends. If you lend us your valuable time to write a review, include the details you would have wanted to know before a purchase.
As you read Topix reviews, you may find valuable advice you weren't seeking, like how environmental factors might affect performance, or how layering order can improve effectiveness. These are the details that make SkinStore a great site, and we thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I have a start-up company.
We started using the Zimbra e-mail tool provided through an external company (which also hoosts it).
A year ago, they installed it and asked us for the DNS requirements.
Right now we are in a conflict...
My question is (I am not a tech person):
is it possible that the hoosting provider (w/administrator role) sent mails in the name of the created users?
For what I read, as administrator (and hoosting providers) they can check all of my company´s users mailboxes.
But COULD they have sent mails in the name of the users themselves to other partys???
Many Thanks,

Since yesterday the users of my server are complaining about the blocking of the emails with attached Office documents.
I make some diggin about that and I think that clamav is the perpretator of that crime. I think that the OLE22BlockMacros option in the clamd.conf is the source, but in bot clamd.conf (from /opt/zimbra/clamav & /opt/zimbra/clamav-0.97.2/) the parameter is commented.
How I can control the execution of clamav? Can I modify this beahavior?

Got summer travel plans? Have fun, but take steps to avoid travel theft. Here are five tips to protect belongings during your summer vacation travels.
Don't bring the bling: Avoid bringing valuables and non-essential gadgets and jewelry. Fancy luggage, expensive watches and other items can draw thieves' attention — so leave them home.
Lock it, secure it: Deter thieves by locking the zippers on luggage and backpacks, and by looping straps over your shoulder or around table or chair legs when seated.
Trick the pickpockets: Keep credit cards, large denominations of cash and your passport in a money belt, and avoid retrieving these items in public. Be vigilant in crowded areas like tourist attractions, bus stops and train stations where pickpockets often lurk.
Be smart about smartphones: Don't leave your smartphone unattended — keep it with you at all times. Always use a pass code, and download an app that tracks, locks and remotely erases personal data if your phone is stolen or lost.
Use carry-ons for electronics: When flying, don't store electronics and cameras in your luggage. Instead, put them in carry-ons, as there is less chance of damage or loss.
If your belongings are lost or stolen while you're traveling, they may be covered by your homeowners insurance policy, although some restrictions and limitations may apply. Check with your American Family Insurance agent for coverage information.
Also, consider travel insurance options offered through American Family Insurance, including Global Medical Insurance, Trip Cancellation Insurance and Mexico Auto Insurance.

Summer is the hottest season — for temperatures and for moving.
June is the most popular month to move, followed by August and July respectively, according to the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA).
If you're among the thousands of Americans who have chosen summertime to pull up stakes and relocate, these ideas could help you save money.
Get the urge to purge
Before packing, purge items that you don't use and aren't worth moving. That way, you could save money by avoiding moving costs for the purged items.
Don't get scammed!
Avoid costly rip-offs by verifying you're dealing with a reputable moving company. The Better Business Bureau, AMSA and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association have online resources to evaluate who's legitimate.
Verify costs in-home, in writing
Internet and phone estimates aren't always reliable. In-home estimates in writing offer a more accurate picture of your actual moving costs, and could help you avoid unforeseen charges. Get more than one estimate, and be wary of movers who ask for a big down payment.
Timing is everything
Movers often charge more during peak times. You could save money by booking your move for mid-week or the middle of the month.
Plan ahead
If your mover charges per hour, save time and money by disassembling furniture and other large items in advance, and writing the names of rooms on boxes.
Pack with care
When packing things yourself, remember that many moving companies won't be held liable for goods damaged during the move, so pack with care. Also, take valuables with you. Consider using American Family's Web-based DreamVault to inventory all your items.
Move it yourself(?)
Obviously, you can save money by loading and renting a truck yourself, or by using a container company. But carefully assess whether you're in good physical condition before you start loading rental trucks or containers. The pain and costly medical bills associated with moving-related injuries isn't worth it!

After reading reviews I added vanilla and extra sugar to the filling. I have made it twice in a Pyrex bowl. The first time I mixed it and baked it in the Pyrex bowl. The second time I mixed it in one bowl, then poured it into a Pyrex bowl that I had greased. Both times the top of the cake stuck to the bowl! I was able to piece it together and it looked great. This is a cake that was a hit and it is one that I will make again!
Wow! I can't wait to make this Snowball Cake! Watched video and save to my recipes too! Thank you, Kraft!
This cake was so simple to make and delicious. The filling was just too cheesy tasting.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Following the first government shutdown in 17 years, several lawmakers, political candidates and groups released written statements. Below are a few of the statements:
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley:
"The federal government shutdown that Congressional Republicans forced upon us will needlessly hurt hardworking Maryland moms and dads who are federal employees; harm small and large businesses across Maryland -- including health, aerospace, and defense companies; and threaten our State's budget in a time of economic recovery."
"In this year's Maryland budget, we worked with the General Assembly to set aside funds to lessen the impact of sequestration -- another needless blow struck by Congress. We have flexibility on how to use these funds, and we're actively assessing all of our options so that we can minimize the harmful effects of prolonged Congressional recklessness on Maryland families and businesses."
Md. Lt. Governor Anthony Brown:
"I'm deeply disappointed that Washington Republicans have once again put their partisan ideology above the interests of the American people. There is no question that this government shutdown will hurt thousands of hardworking Marylanders who simply want to continue doing their jobs. I strongly urge Speaker Boehner to do the right thing by bringing a clean bill to the floor for an up or down vote so that we can end this manufactured crisis."
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th) delivered the following remarks on the House floor Tuesday:
"Mr. Speaker, I'm calling for the government to reopen. I'm calling for leadership on both sides to resolve these issues. The FBI is being impacted. The CIA is being impacted. The National Terrorism Center, which is looking at leads that maybe coming to keep this nation safe, is being impacted. NIH and cancer research and Alzheimer's research is being impacted. People and families are being impacted. This is bad for America. It is bad for America Enough is enough. It's time to be leaders. It's time to govern. Open up the government."
Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4):
"I am outraged and saddened by the events that have unfolded in the House of Representatives. Three times, House Republicans have had the opportunity to take up a bill to fund our government, and three times they have insisted on attaching proposals to shut down the government. Tonight, they got their wish.
"Instead of keeping 124,000 Maryland federal employees on the job, Republicans want to put insurance companies back in charge of Americans' healthcare. Instead of making sure that 443,076 Maryland veterans receive their benefits, Republicans are bowing to the demands of the extreme Tea Party wing of their party.
"The impact of a government shutdown to families in Maryland's 4th Congressional District and the economy in our region cannot be overstated. The time for political games and fiscal brinksmanship is long over. I will continue to fight to make sure House Republicans take up and pass a clean budget bill that funds our government."
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (VA):
"The House of Representatives has shut down the government of the United States by rejecting an interim spending measure passed by the Senate, even though that bill accepted the House's own spending target through November 15. This action hurts the American economy and millions of Americans. The House should reconsider its action and re-open government immediately."
Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6):
"Tonight's failure to reach a compromise is bad news for the country, bad news for Maryland, and bad news for the people I am proud to represent. In the fullness of time this unfortunate standoff will be seen as one of the low points in a long period of dysfunction. Each day that we're shut down valuable services will be delayed and denied to my constituents and hard-working civil servants will be furloughed.
"The American people deserve better than this. The time to appoint a budget conference was months ago. I passionately believe we need to debate our fiscal trajectory, but that has never even been discussed throughout this entire manufactured shutdown crisis. The House and Senate agree on the numbers. But unfortunately a budget debate has been dragged down by an ideological standoff.
"We have to come together, find a real compromise, and truly represent our constituents in a manner that reflects their dignity, intelligence, and belief in the common good. Extremists in Congress have fallen short of that standard this week."
Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5):
"I'm deeply disappointed that Congress failed to reach a responsible agreement to fund the government and a prevent a shutdown. The Senate has passed a compromise funding measure, without partisan amendments, three times. Yet, House Republicans refuse to bring it to the Floor for a vote and have instead wasted time pursuing a partisan strategy to undermine the Affordable Care Act. As a result, over 800,000 hardworking federal employees, including 62,000 men and women in my district, are facing furloughs, and Americans will see many important services significantly curtailed or interrupted. This shutdown is harmful to our economy, our national security, and Fifth District businesses and working families. The American people deserve better, and, for their sake, I urge the House Republican leadership to end its shutdown by bringing a clean government funding measure to the Floor for a vote. Congress must work toward an agreement to end the shutdown and operate in a responsible way."

My family really likes this dip. I can't use onions as some don't like them so I put on some chillies. So easy and tasty.
This recipe is EXCELLENT !!!!!!! I love it.

The built-in light and rack and pinion focusing help deliver bright, clear images. The 48-piece kit has professionally prepared slides and everything users need to make their own specimen slides. Not a toy, but a scientific instrument, the GeoVision MicroPro includes high-quality components and features that make it appropriate for science learning at any age.
Wow, what another great science toy from Educational Insights! My boys are really into anything related to nature and science. This microscope was right up their alley. They have other "kiddie" microscopes already, but my oldest was ready to move on to something a little more advanced. This 48 piece set is just perfect! He is only 5 years old, but with a little supervision he is able to prepare his own slides and view his creations with up to 600x magnification. He loves that this Micropro microscope is so "grown up". He loves pretending that he is a scientist, and making his own slides just adds a whole new level of excitement to the activity. I love a toy that fosters learning and imagination. This microscope is perfect in both regards. It is also very durable, which is crucial in a house with 3 boys!

I never thought of using wilbur that way, but I think you are onto something.
Every so often I piddle about with a piece of clipart. Today's clipart was the angel icon from http://www.vision44.co.uk/html/AboutVision44.html because it seemed like a nice strong image (I have no idea what they do there, but it showed up on an image search for "angel icon") . I did my usual terrain processing with a slight variation in initial heights to get the basic shape and ended up at attachment 1.
I figured it would be time to do a little bit of NPR work because, quite frankly, I'm getting tired of seeing the same old renderings. One bump shader to get a raw 3D image in Wilbur, a quick application of a high-pass convolution filter, and a perspective distort in Photoshop yielded attachment 2. I multiplied it by the basic shaded image and out fell attachment 3. I think it needs a bit more work to be mappy, but I think it might be a good start at some useful techniques including automatic random mountain symbol generation.
I never thought of using wilbur that way, but I think you are onto something.

For the first time in my life, I had a totally crap time at an Iowa State football game. I wish I didn't go. I honestly am not sure if I want to go to any games left this year. And it has nothing to do with our performance on the field, although that doesn't exactly fill me with the warm fuzzies.
First off, I don't give a crap what the attendance figures were for yesterday's game. If there were 40,000 people there at kickoff, I would have been shocked. By halftime, it might have been down to 35,000 or fewer. That doesn't go to say how dead quiet the stadium was. I know the game sucked. But there were plenty of times I was literally the only person yelling in my section.
The thing that really irked me was that I was surrounded by people ******** about our team. I've heard a lot of people say that we have great fans, but that is an absolute fallacy. We have one of the largest group of fairweather fans I've ever been around. Guys two rows ahead of me and huge group of people behind me complaining the whole game - put a damn cork in it. If I wanted to hear people ***** for 3 hours, I'd stay in and watch the View on Monday morning.
I'm not saying the fans have effected the play on the field or any other nonsense. I'm just sick of our fanbase right now. I know it's hard for some people to imagine, but some of us actually try to have a good time at games.
I went to the game and had a great time. Stayed to the very end. I was sitting with some diehard fans that cheered, complained, were elated, then unhappy. That, my friend is what college sports are about, the constant change of emotions. I love it.
I was at the game too. I find it very difficult to get excited when a team jumps out to early leads like that. I know ISU was technically 'in the game' going into the 4th quarter, but if you understood the way the game was going ISU did not stand a chance. I was disappointed in the effort of the coaches and the players. The fans were not great yesterday either. I think that has a lot to do with the product they are viewing. BTW, is there a way I can get a refund for that crap I had to watch yesterday? I cannot believe I dropped $80 ($40 for me and $40 for my brother) to watch that.
Bryce, in my section fans were pretty good....better than I expected actually. (until Mac punted the ball down two scores against an offense we had barely slowed down all day with 4 1/2 minutes left) I was there till the bitter end.
I was there till the bitter end as well in section G. We need to be given something to cheer about, and 85 yards of total offense in the second half isn't going to do it. Yet again, our defense didn't force a single turnover. This time, against a team that had turned the ball over 10 times in the past 2 games.
Enough said. Leave the fans alone. The team stinks and the coaching staff doesn't have a clue. Iowa State has great fans, never question that.
I'm don't give a crap about UNI and Nebraska. A huge # of those fans at the Nebraska game were Nebraska fans, and the UNI game had a lot of UNI fans, plus it was parents weekend so that always brings in a couple extra thousand fans. When the team is down that's when the fans are tested - and ours have obviously not shown up.
I know it sucked out there, I had no qualms about our chances. When we had the "Pick how you think the big 12 will end up" thread, I picked ISU to go 5-7 and only get two more wins. Frankly I'll be happy if we get one more the way we're playing.
What I'm saying is that there was no "constant change of emotions" around me. It was a constant ***** fest before the game even started.
Exactly when was the last time this season the cyclone fans had something to cheer about? When was the last time they played a complete game of football? When was the last time they showed you something, heck anything that resembles a football team? Your asking people to cheer for THE BIGGEST underachieving team in the history of Cyclone sports!
Yeah I know Bryce. I have been around this fanbase for longer than even I want to admit. Without a doubt the WORSE FANBASE in ALL of college football. I hate to think about next year!
I think its time to put the fan attacks to rest. We just had our two biggest home crowds ever in spite of the fact that our team has been playing like crap all year. Our fans are frustrated, most schools would have had fans booing the team loudly from the first TT touchdown drive. Yeah there were complainers yesterday, but nothing like you see in better circumstances at most arenas. If you think our fans suck and we are the worst, then I suspect you haven't been in lot of stadiums around the country. We are not the best. We are not Tennessee, NU, etc, but lets not put this out of proportion.
Bryce, would you rather have those same people *****ing or just not showing up. Atleast they care enough to *****. I mean seriously, the people who don't ***** seem more foolish everyday for continuing to put up with it.
"Yes I'll have one (substitute your favorite meal here)".
Wait a second, this sucks!
"Oh its OK, they tried hard. I really like the chef anyways. I paid for the experience of ordering and meal preparation. I don't care what the final product is. Tell them they're doing a great job, I'll be back next week."

We have zero tradition.
We have a very bad football team.
The weather was bad.
People are ****** and I don't blame them.
The fan base is just waiting for one postitive thing to happen this year and I can't name one. Is there one? Our 3 wins have been against crappy teams and we probably shouldn't have won them. (but we did and I understand that) Otherwise what else? What do think the stands would look like in Iowa City this year if Iowa had the same tradition we did and it poured rain all day with a team like we have. Hell, they were only getting 45,000 -50,000 when Coach Kirk took over and was doing bad at first. Imagine if he had 7 years in row of that.
As for me....
I left right after the last meyer interception. I had to get to Menards so I could pick up some stuff for my basement. At least that was fun.
Fine, you are frustrated by they fans lack of support. I understand and appreciate that.
I respectfully disagree regarding how bad our fans are. They may be better or worse in some areas, but they were there.
In various posts, on various boards, (regardless of where they are on coaching change/no-change), it is past the point of anger, to numb frustration. There is a sense of no-hope, or the expectation of failure. Is this right, should we have it, not arguing this. I am simply saying it exists and this is what will have to change to move forward.
There are the die hard fans (who are on the boards and will keep going, giving and supporting) no matter what.
There are the very supportive fans who are struggling. It is at the point where I can name 4-5 families, with season tickets, where the kids do not want to go anymore, the spouse does not want to go any more, to painful. They cannot even get the casual fans to go, and get free tickets.
This is the cusp of seeing where attendance, tickets and donations go. (Note, I believe you should keep your tickets and donations going to make this better.) I do not think the big donations are at risk (who knows). IT is the $500, $1,000, $2,500 that may be in play here.
No matter how supportive a fan is, we cannot be in a situation where many are getting pressure from family, and spouses on "you are giving how much and you want to give more!!) This pressure is starting to build.
Something must be done to restore hope and it does not do any good to chastise the fans who were there. Their reaction will be "fine, the heck with it. I do not need the grief, along with the pain".
Just my opinion.
When the team gets better, the fans will follow. This team sucks.
You know how Meyer feels about our offensive line? No confidence...running for his life! That's how the fans feel about our coaches and their ability to lead us to victory!

Linemen de-energize line for safety of Corps construction, part of American River Common Features project
Western's linemen keep the agencies transmission lines and structures maintained so the system can reliably deliver electricity to cities and towns throughout the West. Sometimes this job requires Western to de-energize a line for maintenance of the line or working going on below the transmission line.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Todd Plain snapped this photo of Western linemen de-energizing the high-voltage power line at dusk for the safety of the workers below. Construction crews worked during the night constructing the seepage cutoff wall (part of the American River levees) underneath the line. This is part of the Corps American River Common Features project, a joint flood risk reduction effort between the Corps, the state's Central Valley Flood Protection Board/Department of Water Resources and the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency.

And 3 new coffees today!
: And 3 more new coffees today!
Sulawesi Toraja Sapan-Minanga,
Kenya Auction Lot 738- Maura Peaberry
, and
Ethiopia Organic Wet-Process Kebado
Costa Rica Guillio Francesca - Finca Guadelupe
Uh, so it has taken me all week to finally write this post and that's because we had quite a log of orders coming out of the thanksgiving holiday. We've been picking and packing as fast as we can and just might catch up today, TGIF! I just brewed up a pot of this Costa Rica from Guillio Francesca and it tastes wonderful, with the balanced nutty flavor profile that goes along with our light City+ roast. This coffee would be nice roasted a bit darker with more of the chocolate flavors coming to the fore, but Tom wanted to keep this light so we roasted only to 425 degrees by thermoprobe. The roasting profile we used slows the roast down dramatically toward the end which allows the coffee to gently cruise through first crack around 402 degrees and at 12 minutes in to the roast. Final roast times were in the 15:30 ballpark. I roasted the Moka Kadir just a shade past the Full City+ range, with second crack beginning to pick up steam but not quite full-blown.
New arrivals from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Flores
New arrivals today include
Costa Rica La Candelilla Tarrazu "Miel"
, a really sweet and chocolatey high grown micro lot from a great farm. We have a crazy, non-traditional flavor profile in the
Nicaragua Limoncillo Pacamara Dry-Process
, over-the-top fruited flavors, and great body with moderate acidity. It's my choice for darker roast levels. And in a different vein of fruity coffee,
Indonesia Flores Organic Manggarai
... this lot is by far the best I have ever cupped from this origin!
Kenya AA Auction Lot 526 - Tegu
It is tuesday evening after a busy day getting orders out the door and taking care of walk-in customers picking up and placing orders. I finally had a chance to sit down and enjoy a cup of the Kenya Tegu we roasted on Monday and love the juicy sweetness in this lively cup. Tom suggested roasting this batch to 435 degrees which took about 15:30 minutes on the Probat. Kenya coffees can be overpoweringly bright, but this lot has a good quality of acidity, which reminds the cupper that acidity has many shades. For the espresso we roasted our Classic Italian Blend which was brought up to around 460 degrees on the Probat in 15:45. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Costa Rica, and 2 new Sumatra lots.
We have another coffee to release from our vault of mid-crop Costa Ricas (i.e. lots we have vacuum packed to roll out later in the season).
Costa Rica
Guillio Francesca -Finca Guadelupe
is a classic, crowd-pleaser cup profile from a coffee farmer who is quite a character! We have our first premium Lintong-area coffees, coincidently arriving just as I returned from Sumatra. The king of all Sumatras is the large bean selection
Sumatra Lake Toba 19+ Extra Bold
(formerly Lake Tawar - see the review) is a potent, brutish cup, and the specially-prepared
Sumatra Lintong Blue Batak
is really no less potent, with chocolate, caramel, herbal hints, tobacco, and that bittersweet finish.

Charleston, SC (Sports Network) - Askia Booker scored 16 points and Xavier
Johnson added 15, leading Colorado to a 67-57 victory over Dayton in the first
round of the Charleston Classic.
Josh Scott chipped in 13 points and Spencer Dinwiddie had 12 for the Buffaloes
(2-0), who opened the season last week with a win over Wofford and on Friday
will play the winner between Baylor and Boston College.
Vee Sanford scored 13 points to lead Dayton (1-1), which beat Arkansas State
in its opener last Saturday. Kevin Dillard and Josh Benson each contributed 10
points in defeat.
Neither team led by more than four in a tight first half, but the Flyers
scored the final seven points to grab a 27-23 edge at the break. Dayton built
a 35-27 advantage early in the second half before the Buffaloes stormed back.
Booker knocked down a three to ignite a 16-2 Colorado run. A Dinwiddie triple
put the Buffs ahead 39-37 before an Andre Roberson steal and layup made it
43-37 with 11 1/2 minutes remaining.
The Flyers tied it 47-47 on a Dillard basket, but Booker answered with a trey
and Scott made two from the line soon after for a five-point edge and the
Buffs led the rest of the way.
Two free throws from Dillard kept Dayton within five with just over two
minutes left, but Booker canned another shot from beyond the arc to stretch
the margin to eight and essentially seal the contest.
The Buffs finished 7-of-15 from three-point range and shot 45.1 percent
overall, while Dayton made just 32.8 percent from the field.

Former Colt Sanders playing at a high level
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Former North Marion High School infielder Shawn Sanders continues to tear up the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.
The St. Johns River State rising sophomore has seven hits in his last 14 at-bats to raise his average to .295 with 17 RBIs for the Lima (Ohio) Locos, who are currently tied for first place.
Sanders drove in three runs in the Locos' 13-11 win over the Lexington Hustlers on Monday.
SCOTTY SCHAUB: The former Vanguard High third baseman had a great summer playing for the North Myrtle Beach (S.C.) Bluefish in the Beach Collegiate Baseball League. Schaub, who played at the College of Central Florida prior to his current run at Jacksonville University, batted .340 for the Bluefish. A rising senior for the Dolphins, Schaub also belted a grand slam for North Myrtle Beach in the regular season while hitting a 2-run home run in the ninth inning of the season-ending BCBL All-Star Game last week.
JORDON AUSTIN: Plate discipline continues to be a strength at the professional level for the former Forest High outfielder, who was a sixth-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox last month. Playing for the rookie league Red Sox in Fort Myers, Austin now has 10 walks in 21 at-bats for an eye-popping on-base percentage of .452. Austin has had a tougher time hitting thus far in his fledgling career. He has three singles and a double for a .190 average with four runs. Austin also has three stolen bases for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox (10-10) who are two games back in the South Division.
KEYVIUS SAMPSON: The Forest High graduate put together another strong start Sunday for the Double-A San Antonio Missions. Sampson spanned six innings and gave up just one hit — a two-run home run — on his way to a no decision. Sampson struck out seven in the outing for the San Diego Padres affiliate. His record stands at 6-4 with a 2.91 ERA. In his last 10 starts spanning back to May 27, Sampson is 4-1 with a 2.52 ERA.
ERIC GRABE: The former Vanguard High and University of Tampa infielder broke out of a recent slump Monday for the Kannapolis (N.C.) Intimidators. Grabe went 3-for-4 with an RBI against Greensboro, raising his season average to .237 with a homer and 13 RBIs.

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (KTHV) - One of the greatest tragedies in the short lives of Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore is that most people will know them only as victims.
But to family and friends, the 8-year-old classmates were something far more than that; they were children - whose personalities, smiles, and spirits will never die.
As second graders, they were classmates, Cub scouts, and the best of friends.
After class at Weaver Elementary School, it wasn't uncommon to find the trio outside playing together, riding bikes, and exploring their West Memphis neighborhood.
Christopher, the oldest of the three, loved to swim and was always asking "why?"
Those close to him affectionately called him 'Wormer,' because he liked to climb. When the brutal murders of the three boys happened on May 5, 1993, Christopher was 49 days away from his 9th birthday.
"I think about my son every day," said his stepdad, Mark Byers. "There is not a day that goes by that I don't get up and fight for him."
Across the street from Christopher's home sat Michael Moore's house. Michael was known as a leader, a little boy who was well-respected by others.
"I lost almost everything, and not a day goes by that I don't mourn for Michael," his mom wrote in a statement to CNN.
Then there was Stevie Branch, nicknamed 'Bubba.' He loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, animals, and singing. At a mere eight years old, his family said he was already a heartbreaker, sporting his lovable snow white hair and blue eyes. And as with most sweet boys, Stevie was a momma's boy.
"Stevie was a very outgoing, brilliant child, anybody that knew him loved him," his mother, Pamela Hicks recalled.
If the 8-year-old boys would have lived through today, they'd be 28-year-old adults. Instead, a memorial stands at their elementary school; two of the kids' homes are now vacant and boarded up; and the woods at the crime scene in Robin Hood Hills are now gone.
The boys who played together and died together are now separated in death. Michael is buried in Marion, Arkansas; Stevie in Steele, Missouri; and Christopher in Memphis, Tennessee. But their families continue to remember their short lives and find peace in their passing.

|Poetry in Motion is recital theme
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Ballet, tap, jazz and pointe steps graced the stage of the HHS auditorium Friday evening, May 22, as Holyoke Dance Academy presented its "Poetry in Motion" dance recital.
Colorful costumes and bright smiles added to the program, under the direction of dance teacher Kelsey Kunkel. She handled the choreography for most numbers, assisted by student Kracinda Thompson in a number of them.
All HDA dancers joined in "We're Dancing" at the end of the program, as acknowledgement was made for those who assisted with the year's classes at the Peerless Center, as well as the year-end program.
Thompson presented Kunkel a gift, noting it is the last year Kunkel will be teaching lessons here.
Opening the program in fine fashion was the pre-ballet class. Clover Adler, Jimena Nuñez and Emma Thompson, along with Kunkel and Kracinda Thompson, performed to "Winnie the Pooh." Later, as the pre-tap group, they danced to "The Bunny Hop."
"A Disorderly Mind," danced to "Pale Silver Moon," involved a duet performance by Thompson and Kunkel. The dance was about the fight between the good and bad conscience of a person who is thinking they are not thin enough in the eyes of other people.
Stevie Baker and Lauren Prior, beginning jazz students, danced to "Respect."
Kracinda Thompson performed a pointe solo to "Kerosene." She teamed up with Brittney Prottsman for an advanced jazz number, "You Make Me Sick;" modern dance with Shandra Johnson to "Pilgrim;" advanced tap with Jill Guernsey to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia;" duet with Nathan Peregoy to "When the Stars go Blue;" and an advanced ballet trio with Camille Elliott and Sara Hiller to "Boom, Boom, Boom."
Danielle Brandt, Erin Guernsey and Erin Pettigrew danced to "Strauss Jr. Annen Polka, Op. 117" as the intermediate ballet class.
Intermediate tap dancers Emily Krogmeier and Rebecca Owens tapped to "Fabulous;" and intermediate jazz dancers Brook Prottsman and Keegan Shaw entertained to "Jump, Jive and Wail."
Erika Meakins, Brooklyn Plumb, Loren Jo Oberle and Kya Thacker won the audience's hearts with a beginning ballet number to "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" and a beginning tap number to "Limbo Rock."

We arrived here two days ago after motoring from Rota as the wind disappeared leaving us sweltering in the heat.
We were in Rota for 3 nights looking around to see if it might be a suitable place to over-winter as several people we have met raved about how good it was but we were not particularly impressed. It is largely a seaside resort but despite many walks around we only found a couple of restaurants and no decent shops nearby. There was a tapas festival one night with music and another night we had a long thunder storm with spectacular forked lightning out at sea which thankfully didn't come our way.
I like the feel of Chipiona more. Like many Spanish towns you cannot really judge what sorts of shops there are if you go at lunchtime as they are shuttered up. The marina was very quiet after the weekend and although WIFI is available it was not working so we found the local library and used a machine there. We had some good tapas overlooking the sea and then went shopping. There is a good range of food shops including a small supermarket in the town.
On our last night while I was dumping the rubbish I bumped into a couple from our old pontoon in Lagos so we had a pleasant hour or so catching up over a beer or in my case a glass of wine.
We are here for a couple of days while I locate a dentist. I was enjoying a brie and smoked salmon baguette when I had a particularly crunchy mouthful ........ the edge of one of my molars broke off, oh joy! There is not an English-speaking dentist here but the couple that own the chandlery recommended a Spanish one who was also suggested by Jane from the Lotita. My Spanish is almost nil so I was a bit worried about how to get my problem across. I did not want a temporary filling because we are not planning to return home for a while so in the end I typed up a note for the dentist and then used Babel Fish to translate it into Spanish. This worked well and I was given a white composite filling costing 52e. It took about 30 minutes with me having to keep my mouth open all that time while the dentist used ultraviolet light to set the filling. This was all new to me as thankfully I have not had any dental work for years.
Off to Magazon tomorrow.
We are safely installed in the boatyard in Ria Formosa after a hairy experience off Culatra. It was the day before we were due to be lifted out and we were resting in bed after a windy night with forked lightning in the distance but thankfully not coming our way. Steve and I got up just before 7am as the wind seemed to be strengthening he popped his head out of the main hatch and decided to get dressed quickly, then check the anchor. I sensed all was not well and put on some shorts and crocs. The wind went from 12 to 37 knots in about 20 minutes. During that time I rapidly secured anything loose and got out our Snugs jackets, life jackets and safety harnesses out into the cockpit.
Steve let out more chain and had to use the engine to take some of the load off while all around us everyone else was up top as well. The wind was blowing in through the anchorage from the east and our anchor started to drag and just as he was making his way forward to let out more rope the chain broke. It was hard work on the wheel keeping her away from other boats as it was now about a 7 gusting to an 8 so we took turns while we decided whether to stay and try to drop another anchor or go. We decided to go into Olhao and try to moor up in the small harbour. A couple of other yachts were also in trouble and heading off. We headed up the channel to Olhao with the wind on the nose and water coming over the bow while I tried to read the buoy numbers on the small chartlet. In the end we anchored on the new visitors pontoon near the ferry stop. True to form we had an Olhao welcome in 10 minutes when 2 marinairos turned up to send us away. We explained we had lost our anchor and needed to stay only for one night and I tried to look exhausted, old and vulnerable but no luck. They said we could stay for an hour or so while Steve rigged the other anchor and I went for a quick shop.
I suggested we try being lifted early so we rang Ria Formosa but there is a fairly small window for lift-outs and we had missed it but they told us to moor outside the boatyard on their buoy. I was very pleased that I picked up the buoy first time having never had cause to do this before but then we had to redo it a couple of times or was Steve deliberately getting me to have more practise? To mark the occasion I took a snap of the buoy!
It was such a relief to be out of the wind and we enjoyed a nice cuppa. As we moved around at anchor we realised that at times we would be partly sticking into the channel, along which the ferry for Coco Island steamed every half-hour and a few of fishing boats too. We considered moving but decided that we would tough it out, the ferry stopped but from about 4am onwards there was a steady stream of fishing boats heading out to sea through a channel behind the island.
It was quite unnerving as the fishermen turned to port coming out of the harbour and began to head straight for us initially then altered their course - not good for the nerves. We made sure we were well lit up and we were not really in danger! At dawn I looked towards the shore and watched as ghost-like figures waded out silently in the gloom to small boats which they rowed to their sand banks to the south where they busied themselves digging for clams. One of the best known Portuguese specialities is Pork and Clams. The scene had an eerie quality and would have made a great picture but my camera was not up to the job.
Around 10:25 we left the buoy and circled outside the yard a few minutes before we were due to be lifted as the tractor thingy was in position. Then we waited and waited, going round and round in circles and were starting to be a little concerned as the tide was going out so we phoned the yard. We were told to moor up to the skinny, blue, floating pontoon, very wobbly when you land on it. To test your ability to hop off other small boats can be moored to it which have nothing to do with the yard at all. Next to the pontoon is a slipway used by the general public and fishermen so they see the dock for the lift as theirs as well - very helpful. Anyway I leapt off and tied us up then headed into the yard to tell them we had arrived.
Before we could be lifted a fishing boat was being put back into the water, I couldn't see how it could be launched without hitting us but after some cool manoeuvring by the tractor operator the job was done and we were out. Of course it was now lunch time so the men all went off in search of food and we were left, with a ladder, to wait.
We are back anchored off Culatra waiting to be lifted out while we go home for a while and resting after an overnight sail back from Sines. By the time we approached Cape St Vincent conditions had developed into a lively 6, gusting to a 7 and to make things more interesting the lighthouse beam was not shinning. Steve was on watch while we went round the cape and although we have GPS, his chart calculations and radar it would have been reassuring to see the rocks lit up and know you are nowhere near them!
This is an ideal place to try out the new dingy and outboard and also to get me used to using it. We have been over to the island several times and tied up in the small fishing harbour which smells vile. The quays are heavily encrusted with shellfish, barnacles and weed and we have seen our first sea slugs in the wild. After looking on the Interent I am pretty certain it is Aplysia fasciata, a dark black-brown sea hare which moves as if jet-propelled.
The island is very long and thin (6 km x 0.9 km approx) with lovely, golden beaches on its southerly, seaward side. There are a number of fishermen's cottages, holiday homes and a hotel with a handy small shop and several cafes/restaurants. It lies on the flight path to Faro Airport but we did not find it especially noisy. It is served by a ferry from Olhao and lots of water taxis scurrying about. The inhabitants number about 1000. You have to be careful leaving a dinghy there, we have heard of a guy from Lagos who has had his dinghy stolen two years in a row!
Sines is a friendly marina but it is a bit of a hike to the shops up the hill in the blistering heat, good job we have already bought a lot of provisions. We had one of the local specialities Secreto de porco at a nice restaurant near the castle ruins and on another day a very good value lunchtime dish of rabbit and chips.
Unfortunately family issues mean we will have to go home for 6 weeks or so and the desired trip to the Azores and then south to the Canaries will have to wait. We were late setting off from Lagos anyway waiting for completion of the survey and other boat maintenance which was delayed due to the wet winter so it is probably just as well as we wouldn't have wanted to rush the journey and not have enough time in the Azores. A shame though not to catch up with Andy and Lesley and see Sue and Andy before they go on the ARC. Next year............
We have arrived in Sines, after our first overnight sail of the season. After filling up with diesel at Vilamoura we set off. Steve spotted what looked like a hat floating in the water but it turned out to be a turtle sedately swimming along in no hurry to get anywhere. Later we saw a number of flying fish as well. While Steve was resting below I had 3 dolphin sightings and the wind increased so I called him and we put up the main and yankee, making 7 knots very comfortably for a while. As we neared Cape St Vincent conditions changed so we had to drop the yankee and put 2 reefs in the main. The motion got rather unpleasant despite Steve going further out to avoid it and I was sick - ugh! The dolphins returned again when I was on watch around 5am.
We have found a space in the marina at Sines and plan to stay for a week making final preparations before we head off to the Azores.

text: Well Ladies and Gentlemen I am moving to the basin, Thermopolis to be specific. I was given a wonderful opportunity for a great job there and have pounced on it. I will miss being so close to the Big Horns but am gaining world class waterfowl hunting. However, I do have some general questions about the availability of Elk and Deer around Thermop itself. Obviously, just looking for some general info like where to begin looking. I know the Pronghorn hunting will be good and am looking forward to the amount of public land available. Overall, I am excited to move and looking forward to new adventures. Any pointers would be great folks.

Fine print - September 2011
Because Im a man prone to hopeless causes thats what growing up an Atlanta Falcons fan will do for you I have oodles of sympathy for people who place their faith in the idea of a green economy. Theyre tilting at windmills,bless their hearts, but I appreciate the instinct. Where would the world be without optimists?
The problem is theres no such thing as a green economy, which is to say an economy that produces goods and services with an environmental benefit, as the Brookings Institution, the Washington, D.C.-based think tank, recently defined it. Why do I think theres no such thing? Because the Brookings gang says so. Not only do green or clean activities and jobs related to environmental aims pervade all sectors of the U.S. economy; they also remain tricky to define and isolate and count. The clean economy has remained elusive in part because, in the absence of standard definitions and data, strikingly little is known about its nature, size and growth at the critical regional level. In short, parts of the economy have a greenish hue, but theres no identifiable green economy.
The green economy isnt elusive because theres no definition and data. Its elusive (or, more accurately, vaporous) because green isnt a description so much as it is a value judgment. The auto industry, for instance, is a tangible, recognizable market sector. The green economy is ... well, whatever you want it to be. Its a hope, a dream, a panacea or an ideal. Brookings calls it an aspiration, and when the think tank unveiled its state-by-state, city-by-city analysis of where green jobs can be found, North Carolina ranked right up there. Were good, it seems, at peddling vapor.
Im sorry. I dont mean to sound ill-tempered. But the stickler in me gets surly when a respectable policy center declares that the green economy cant be defined, measured and quantified and then does all three.
A trio of North Carolina cities figured prominently in the Brookings ranking of the top 100 metro areas for green jobs: Raleigh came in at No. 30, Charlotte at No. 33 and Greensboro at No. 76. The response from each local newspaper was appropriate to its citys place in the pecking order. The News & Observer in Raleigh, for instance, happily boasted that Brookings had declared the Triangle to be the nations second-fastest growing region for green jobs. But the Greensboro News & Records disappointment was unmistakable: Greensboro may not be as green as its name suggests, at least when it comes to creating clean-economy jobs.
Let me salve Greensboros municipal pride and deflate Raleighs. First, theres a reason why the top five cities in the ranking include New York City and Los Angeles, while the bottom five include McAllen, Texas, and Ogden, Utah. The bigger the population the more green jobs. Consider that Miami is No. 19 on the list while Fort Myers, Fla., about 150 miles away, is No. 96. According to Brookings, 1.1% of the jobs in both cities are green. Its just that Miamis 1.1% is bigger than Fort Myers 1.1%. Its similar to the relationship between Greensboro and Charlotte. The percentage of green jobs in both places is close 1.9% for Charlotte, 1.7% for Greensboro. But Charlotte, of course, is way bigger.
Even Brookings sense of what constitutes a green job is puzzling. It singles out the nuclear-power operations of both Charlotte-based Duke Energy Corp. and Raleigh-based Progress Energy Inc. as notably green. Sure, nuclear power is largely free of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases. But it seems odd to label any job that results in the creation of highly radioactive and potentially deadly waste that takes centuries to break down as green.
Odder still is the category of green jobs that helps Raleigh rank high on the list and propelled Washington, D.C., to fourth place: regulation and compliance. That refers, of course, to bureaucrats (or, as Brookings calls them, clean jobs in the public sector). Thus, we have the perfect coupling of absurdities the people who produce deadly radioactive waste and the people who give that process the regulatory seal of approval are considered to be awash with green-ness.
If this doesnt make you understand that any conversation about the green economy is simply an extended exercise in value judgments, lets ponder a theoretical situation. A few weeks ago, I attended a baseball game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park, where I noticed a charmingly old-fashioned thing. The outfield scoreboard is operated by somebody who sits in an enclosed space behind the wall and manually replaces the numbers at the conclusion of every half-inning. Thats the very essence of a green job. Not a single watt of electricity is expended to operate the scoreboard. Also in Durham is the headquarters of Cree Inc., which makes light-emitting diodes and is considered an example of the green businesses North Carolina should nurture. LEDs can be used in scoreboards, which raises an interesting question: If the Durham Bulls fired the guy behind the wall and replaced him with an electronic scoreboard made with Cree components, would the environment be well-served? I wonder how Brookings would umpire that call.

The state Health Department Friday said one person in Illinois has died from the West Nile virus.
Officials said a 67-year-old DuPage County man who died Aug. 10 is the first fatal human case of the mosquito-borne virus in the state.
Health Department director Doctor Lumpkin also said the number of human West Nile virus cases reported statewide this year now is up to nine.
In addition to the fatality, the new cases involve a 42-year-old Will County woman, an 80-year-old Cook County man a 39-year-old Chicago woman.
Meanwhile, Missouri officials said a 39-year-old man is the fifth St. Louis-area resident with preliminarily tests positive for the virus. The centers for disease control, in Atlanta, will test blood-samples on all five before deciding if it's officially West Nile.

A Panama City man who spent four years in prison for a crime he did not commit is a free man.
The Governor of Virginia has issued a conditional pardon to Jonathan Montgomery.
Montgomery was convicted of rape in 2008 and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.
Last month, the victim recanted her story.
Then 12 days ago, a judge ordered his release but that was held up by the Attorney General's office.
The pardon finally sets Montgomery free and his mom is driving to the prison tonight to pick her son up.
We hope to have more on this developing story tonight at 10.
