Has anyone used the Nikon Prostaff Spotting scopes that are on sale right now? If so, are they worth $500? Thanks!!!
Has anyone used the Nikon Prostaff Spotting scopes that are on sale right now? If so, are they worth $500? Thanks!!!
I've had a Nikon XL II spotter and I love mine. Nikon makes a good product. I don't know about the Prostaff model, I paid over $500.00 for mine years ago. No complaints with it, my Nikon Binoculars or 3 Nikon riflescopes.
The Nikon Prostaff is good. I'm assuming you are thinking about the 80mm scope ($500) and I think it is the best for the money. They are light weight. I think they improved over the old Prostaff model in the light disbursement. They seem to have been able to spread the light across the FOV so the center and edges have the same amount of light. At high magnifications many scopes will be quite dark across the whole lens but the edges are rally bad and the center has a little more light. I feel the Prostaff has an even transfer of light across the whole lens. One feature some people would like that the Prostaff doesn't have is the ability to rotate the body so the eyepiece can be angled to the side.
I have the Prostaff 80mm but haven't had the opportunity to use it in the field yet. Only around the house. It's bigger than I wanted so I will probably get the vortex razor 65mm for my backpack hunt next year. The prostaff will be fine for my antelope hunt this year.
My buddy had one on a hunt last year the eyepiece busted off after a ride on the 4 wheeler while still in the case. I looked through it and wasn't impressed. That was before the accident. I would put the money towards a Vortex if that's what you can spend. Go somewhere and look through both of them you will see the difference.
I bought one of the older models last year. I think it was $300 on sale or something. For the price, I think it is ok. It definitely isn't super clear but for that price, I think it is about as good as a guy can get.
I don't personally know about the new model this year though and I assume that you are talking about the ones on sale at Cabelas now? For the same amount of money, I'd be curious to know how it stands up against the Vortex Diamondback. Seems like everyone has good things to say about Vortex. So in the end, I don't know if $500 is worth it for the new Nikon.
Feel free to thank me for not helping at all!!
for that price you can almost pick up a discountinued ED 60 which is far superior to that model.
Maybe take a look at this???? Anybody have a good opinion about this spotter? Seems like a good deal...

Rydges World Square
+61 2 8268 1888
Tickets for Dolly Parton go on sale this Friday, November 1 and the Queen of Country will play the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, February 18.
There's no doubting that Dolly is one of the world's best entertainers and you can't help thinking that she would be one of the world's nicest people. When she was last in Australia her shows ran close to two and a half hours. Expect the classics like 'Joelene' and '9 to 5' as well as famous covers and tracks from songs from her forthcoming 42nd studio album, Blue Smoke.
Dolly says she can't wait to return and it is probably best you read this with a southern American accent… "Australia, here I come again. We have a lot of new and exciting things for the show and can't wait to share it with you. I love my fans in that part of the world. You've been so very good to me for so many years and I know that we're gonna have a wonderful time. It's a long way from home in your part of the world, but I always feel like I'm right at home. So Australia, I'm coming home. Wait up!"

I'm trying to find out what class and method is responsible for blob deletion.
I found a method in FileBlobStore called deleteFile, is this what is responsible for actually deleting the physical email message off the disk?
The reason I'm asking is to keep the actual email from deleting off the disk and instead just moving it to another directory, so if there's another way of doing it, I'm appreciate getting pointed into the correct direction.
Thank you!

Hi everybody,
I have this problem.
One user shares (view only) a contact lists with many other users.
If the first user changes "Display As" name of a contact, users with Outlook 2007 won't see the new "Display As" name, but the old one. I don't know how to update it.
Users with Outlook 2003/2010 don't have this problem.
The only way to solve this problem is to re-create the Outlook profile but it isn't so nice...
Any ideas?
Thank you.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
What makes this amazing mindreading effect even better is that you use FOUR spectators! Your audience will be truly impressed, and other magicians will be completely baffled! This great trick uses a little known but surefire secret method!
The effect goes like this: Choose four spectators to participate, and give each a slip of paper and a pen or pencil. Each spectator secretly writes down a specific thought. For example, Spectator One writes down the name of a chosen card, Spectator Two writes the initials of someone important to him, Spectator Three writes down a favorite color, and Spectator Four writes an exact time of day.
The spectators fold up their pieces of paper, and you clip them onto the clear plexiglas board using the built-in bulldog clips. Next, you slide the board into the stand, which has numbers from 1 to 4 painted on the side borders. This helps everyone remember which paper belongs to which spectator.
Starting with your first spectator, you concentrate, then name aloud the card the spectator chose. You open the piece of paper next to the #1, and confirm that Spectator One did indeed choose the card you called out.
Next, you correctly name Spectator #2's initials, Spectator #3's favorite color, and finally, the exact time of day chosen by Spectator #4!
Really startling effect that will bring the house down every time! It's your choice to perform it as a lighthearted magic routine, or as a serious "experiment" in psychic ability. Either way, it's INCREDIBLE!
You supply the ordinary slips of paper and pencils/pens for your spectators.
You can ask the spectators to write down any specific things that you want. You aren't limited to colors, initials, etc. For the effect to work according to the instructions provided, you need to start with a chosen card. Once you know how the trick works, you can develop your own unique presentation.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- What looked like a bipartisan deal in the Senate is now on hold and it is far from clear that the plan has any path forward at all.
House Republican leaders are struggling now to put together a plan to win the votes of the majority of even their own members.
There are a lot of opinions about what direction to go. There have been no decisions about what exactly we will do," said House Speaker John Boehner.
It had looked like Senate Democrats and Republicans had together agreed on a short-term deal to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling but Republicans backed away when the House Speaker announced he was working on his own plan.
Democrats are furious.
"What you heard was a plan to default," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
If the speaker fails to muster enough votes for his plan by the end of the day, he may be left with two choices: accept the senate deal or default.
Democrats say all of this might have been avoided, but for a parliamentary rule changed pushed through the House just before the shutdown.
Republicans say the rule change is designed to keep democrats from quote, "hijacking the house floor."

Horizon Lines targets KC hub with transpacific imports
January 25, 2011 - LM Editorial
Horizon Lines announced it has instituted a 15-day transit schedule for containerized cargo shipped from Shanghai to Kansas City with its new International service.
The company launched the Five-Star Express (FSX) trans-Pacific ocean service between China and the United States in December, and selected Kansas City as a key hub for its express ocean-rail intermodal package.
Jon Monroe, president of Shanghai-based Monroe Consulting, told LM that this will be a valuable service now that inbound volumes are ramping up.
"Furthermore," he said, "KC is becoming more of a logistical hub than Chicago."
As reported here late last year, Horizon commenced the FSX service with a sailing from Ningbo, China, on December 14 and Shanghai on December 15. The cargo arrived in Kansas City on December 30, and was available for pick-up at 4:32 a.m. that day.
Brian Taylor, senior vice president, chief commercial officer, for Horizon Lines, said in a statement that the carrier's goal is to provide the weekly deliveries by using scheduled intermodal rail service from Los Angeles.
He added that the 15-day Shanghai-to-Kansas City schedule is proving to be "on-target and completely effective."
Chris J. F. Gutierrez, president of Kansas City SmartPort, Inc., said the service offers his region a competitive advantage.
"This will allow our companies to meet delivery times more efficiently," he added. A non-profit economic development organization, Kansas City SmartPort promotes and enhances the Kansas City region's status as a leading North American logistics hub.
The announcement comes on the heels of good news from the Port of Los Angeles. Imports increased 12.8 percent in 2010, or 3,973,933 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) compared to 2009 with 3,524,386 TEUs.
The Port of Shanghai, meanwhile, has supplanted Singapore as the world's largest ocean container gateway this year.
"Other carriers have reduced inland service locations and slowed service speeds but our customers are telling us they want fast and reliable service alternatives, not only port-to-port, but inland to final destinations as well," said Taylor said.
He said that retailers are still reluctant to carry to inventory, and that the Five-Star Express service provides some assurance of just-in-time delivery.

Discovered gource the day before yesterday. Want! In the office! In realtime!
sudo apt-get install gource
Gource can read the logs from existing repositories.
But to continuosly feed it with incoming revisions, we'll attach a post-commit hook to the SVN repository that creates a custom log format, which is then written to a file as the changes come in.
Add to or execute from
/hooks/post-commit in your svn server directory:
#!/bin/sh REPOS="$1" REV="$2" # COLOR=FFFFFF AUTHOR=`svnlook author --revision $REV $REPOS` TIME=`date +%s` CUSTOMLOGFILE=/home/fusselwurm/svn-gource.log svnlook changed --revision $REV $REPOS | while read line; do STATE_FILES=`echo $line | sed -E 's/\s+/|/' -` LOGLINE="$TIME|$AUTHOR|$STATE_FILES" # |$COLOR" echo "$LOGLINE" >> "$CUSTOMLOGFILE" done;
Right. Now pipe the log file's contents to gource:
tail -F /home/fusselwurm/svn-gource.log | \ gource --log-format custom -200x200 -

Does anyone know how well the Outlook PST Migrator works for maintaining Outlook folder structure? I have several users with elaborate folder structure and large PST's.
If it does maintain folder structure, will that be reflected only in the Outlook client or will the structure be associated with the user's mailbox on the server? Ideally, I would like to migrate these PST's to the server and ween the users off Outlook and go exclusively with the web client. I need a clean somewhat simplified way to make the folder structures look the same to get them to buy in.

Rotavirus Vaccination
Pronounced "row-tuh-virus"
On this Page
What You Should Know
For Health Professionals
At a Glance
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis (vomiting and severe diarrhea) among children worldwide. Two different rotavirus vaccines are currently licensed for infants in the United States. The vaccines are RotaTeq® (RV5) and Rotarix® (RV1). Before being licensed, both vaccines were tested in clinical trials and shown to be safe and effective. In these studies, during approximately the first year of an infant's life, rotavirus vaccine was found to prevent almost all (85% to 98%) rotavirus illness episodes that were severe and to prevent 74% to 87% of all rotavirus illness episodes.

on 25 carries, while Spiller totaled 77 yards -- 44 of which came on a
fourth-quarter touchdown -- for the Bills (5-7). Chad Henne was 18-of-41 for
208 yards with one touchdown and an interception for Jacksonville (2-10).
Final Score: Seattle 23, Chicago 17 (OT)
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Sidney Rice's 13-yard touchdown catch in

Final Score: Indianapolis 35, Detroit 33
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Andrew Luck and Donnie Avery got together on a
14-yard score on the final play of the game as the Indianapolis Colts shocked
the Detroit Lions, 35-33, at Ford Field on Sunday. The Colts (8-4) were
down by 12 points late in the game, but went on two straight scoring drives
that Luck capped with touchdown passes to help the team win for a sixth time
in the past seven games. Luck finished the game 24-for-54 for 391 yards with
four touchdown passes and three interceptions, while also totaling 33
rushing yards on three carries. Avery caught two of the scores, while
LaVon Brazill and Coby Fleener each caught a touchdown pass in the win.
Detroit's Calvin Johnson continued his fantastic run with 13 catches for 171
yards and a touchdown. Matthew Stafford passed for 313 yards, two touchdowns
and an interception on 27-of-46 attempts, while Brandon Pettigrew also

Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers threw for 286 yards and a
touchdown and the Green Bay Packers scored 13 unanswered points in the second

James Starks accounted for the go-ahead score with a 22-yard run late in the
third quarter and Mason Crosby kicked three field goals to help Green Bay
(8-4) bounce back from last week's 38-10 loss at the New York Giants, which
ended a five-game winning streak for the defending NFC North champions.
Rodgers completed 27-of-35 passes with one interception for the Packers, who
have now prevailed in five straight meetings with the Vikings and 10 in a row
against divisional foes. Minnesota (6-6) was dealt its fourth defeat in five
games despite a 210-yard, 21-carry effort from Adrian Peterson that
included a career-long 82-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The
star running back eclipsed the century mark for the sixth consecutive
contest, breaking a team record he had shared with Robert Smith. While
Peterson was outstanding, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder
struggled. The second-year pro managed just 119 yards with a touchdown, while
tossing two interceptions and hitting on 12-of-25 attempts.
Final Score: Kansas City 27, Carolina 21
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - An already challenging season for the
Kansas City Chiefs only got tougher following Saturday's tragic events. But
the show went on. And somehow the Chiefs avoided tying their longest losing
streak in franchise history. Just over 24 hours after linebacker Jovan
Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before taking his own life at the team's
facility, the Chiefs resiliently took the field and downed the Carolina
Panthers, 27-21, snapping their eight-game slide. Brady Quinn threw for 201
yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-23 efficiency for the Chiefs (2-10), who
avoided joining the 1987 and 2007 Chiefs as the only teams to lose nine
straight games in franchise history. Jamaal Charles carried the ball 27 times
for 127 yards in the win. Cam Newton completed 15-of-27 passes for 232
yards and three scores, while adding 78 yards on the ground for the
Panthers (3-9), who downed the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
Final Score: New England 23, Miami 16
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The New England Patriots clinched the AFC East on
Sunday. It was far from easy, however. Tom Brady's rhythm was disrupted by a
spirited Miami defense, but the Patriots capitalized on several miscues on
their way to a 23-16 victory at Sun Life Stadium. Brady was 24-of-40 for
238 yards with one touchdown pass to Wes Welker and a rare interception.
Stevan Ridley scored on a short touchdown run and picked up critical yards on
a fourth-quarter drive to help New England (9-3) prevail and capture the
division crown for the 10th time in 12 years. Welker had 103 yards on 12
grabs, tying Jerry Rice's NFL record for most games with 10-plus receptions at
17. Rookie Ryan Tannehill completed 13-of-29 passes and finished with 186
yards for the Dolphins (5-7).
Final Score: NY Jets 7, Arizona 6
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Greg McElroy came in relief of Mark
Sanchez in the third quarter and passed for the lone touchdown of the game
to Jeff Cumberland, as the Jets escaped with a 7-6 victory over the
Arizona Cardinals in an otherwise offensively challenged football game. Tim
Tebow, the regular backup to Sanchez, was inactive for the game due to a rib
injury. For the first time in his career, McElroy was active for a regular
season game and took advantage of the opportunity in helping the Jets (5-7)
get back on track after an embarrassing blowout loss to New England on
Thanksgiving night. McElroy completed 5-of-7 throws for 29 yards, including
his 1-yard toss to Cumberland early in the fourth quarter. Sanchez threw
three first-half interceptions and threw for just 97 yards on 10-of-21
passing before being pulled. Arizona rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley may
have been worse, however, as he was constantly harassed by the Jets
defense. He completed just 10-of-31 throws for 72 yards with an
interception and failed to help the Cardinals (4-8) convert on a single
third down. They finished 0-for-15 for the game in suffering their eight
straight defeat following a 4-0 start.
Final Score: St. Louis 16, San Francisco 13 (OT)
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - For the second time in three weeks, the St.
Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers battled past regulation in a hard-fought
NFC West tussle. But unlike their Week 10 meeting, Sunday's eerily similar
tilt ended with a winner, as Greg Zuerlein connected on a 54-yard field
goal with 26 seconds remaining in OT to give the Rams a 16-13 victory at
Edward Jones Dome. St. Louis (5-6-1) remained unbeaten against division foes
despite being held to 293 yards. Steven Jackson, one week after amassing
a season-high 139 rushing yards, was limited to 48 yards on 21 carries,
while Sam Bradford completed 26-of-39 passes for 221 yards. This was the
first loss for division-leading San Francisco (8-3-1) since a 26-3 thumping
by the New York Giants on Oct. 14. Colin Kaepernick, in his third game as
starter after Alex Smith suffered a concussion against the Rams, had two
costly mistakes in the setback. The inexperienced signal-caller was
whistled for a safety and lost a fumble that resulted in a tying touchdown
and two-point conversion with 3:04 to play in the fourth quarter.
Final Score: Houston 24, Tennessee 10
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Matt Schaub completed 21-of-35 passes for 207
yards and two touchdowns to lead the Houston Texans to a 24-10 win over the
Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Texans' defense forced three interceptions
and recovered three fumbles, while Arian Foster carried the ball 14 times
for 38 yards and a touchdown and Lestar Jean had a 54-yard touchdown
reception for Houston (11-1), which clinched its second consecutive playoff
berth with the win. Tennessee's Jake Locker was 21-for-45 passing for 309
yards and a touchdown, but threw three interceptions. Nate Washington had
three catches for 96 yards and Chris Johnson rushed for 51 yards on 13
carries for the Titans (4-8), who have dropped four of their last five games
Thursday, November 29th
Final Score: Atlanta 23, New Orleans 13
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Falcons made a statement Thursday
night, picking off New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees a career-high five times
and ending his remarkable consecutive games streak with a touchdown pass in a
23-13 victory over the Saints at the Georgia Dome. Matt Ryan completed 18-
of-33 passes for 165 yards with a touchdown for the Falcons (11-1), who
avenged their lone defeat of the season and snapped a four-game losing
streak to the Saints. Atlanta can clinch the NFC South division title with a
Tampa Bay loss or tie at Denver on Sunday. New Orleans (5-7), meanwhile, saw
its playoff hopes become even slimmer with its second straight loss. Brees,
who had 341 passing yards, failed to throw a touchdown pass for the
first time since Week 4 of the 2009 campaign, snapping a his NFL-record
streak at 54 games.

Deciding between two mounts for AP
Posted 28 December 2012 - 06:44 PM
I have done some reading around, and I still haven't quite found what I've needed to rule out the IEQ45. Perhaps there are some things that the Atlas can do that the IEQ45 cannot? Perhaps EQMOD or software assisted drift alignment techniques, weight capacities for photography, or noise? In this regard, I am in need of some sound advice, as I simply lack the experience to make a decision that I will not regret in a year. Additionally, I really cannot afford to be doing this again in a year, as I will be a student and will not be able to remedy the issue, financially. With this in mind, please know that I need to get it right the first time, as this mount will need to last me through a few college years.
I really like the idea of having a heated LCD in the hand controller, built-in GPS, position of polaris on the hand controller for polar alignment (I currently use Polar Finder on the laptop), and having a larger LCD display on the IEQ45. However, I am not entirely convinced that makes the mount a better purchase over the Atlas--perhaps I am being blinded by the cosmetic goodies? Additionally, I am a bit sensitive to mount noise--my biggest complaint about the cg5gt is noise. It is my understanding that the Atlas should be more quiet than the IEQ45 due to stepper motors?
Any advice is welcome--even perhaps a better alternative that I carelessly looked over. Sorry in advance for another Mount A vs. Mount B question.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 07:03 PM
I can't say enough about the Atlas. I've used one for about a year and a half now with an AT6RC at 1368mm. Being that you're doing astrophotography, you'll be using a laptop anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about the hand controller. If you use EQMOD, you'll never take it out of the box.
I setup and tear down every time. For polar alignment, I spend a minute putting the star in the circle (after looking at EQMOD to find where it should be). I know this could be automated but this is good enough for me to take 30 minute exposures.
Reading you post again, I can tell you that the cosmetic goodies are just that. I've taken my mount on the road a couple times and pulling the GPS coordinates off my cell phone was good enough to create a profile in EQMOD and my planetarium program.
The Atlas is not quiet so that could rule it out if that is an issue for you. It has never bothered me because I point to a single star to sync (first one is the only one not on my CCD) and then I go inside (the house or my car if somewhere) and remotely connect to my laptop. You'll also find that you only slew once per object so it isn't that big of deal.
Anyway, good luck. If you want to see some of my results with the Atlas and AT6RC, check out my Flickr .
Posted 28 December 2012 - 07:52 PM
To be perfectly honest, if you buy either of these mounts, it's unlikely that you'll regret it in a year. They are both very capable, good quality mounts.
The iEQ45's strong points are that it is light weight for the carrying capacity, and it's a newer design with lots of convenience features like a built-in GPS, very easy and accurate dark-field illuminated polar scope and alignment routine, built-in handset heater, etc. The handset is pretty fully featured and easy to use.
The Atlas has a much longer history than the iEQ45 and is a mature product with lots of happy users. EQMod.exe is required to get many of the more modern features, but those who use the combination get great results.
I have the iEQ45 and am very pleased with it. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:56 PM
Posted 28 December 2012 - 10:26 PM
but if you get a good one... the handset firmware is just great. the All Star Polar Align is the best thing since sliced bread.. the only bad news is the sometimes horrific periodic error and the large 8/3 harmonic.
i've heard that iOptron will send you a new worm if the one you've got exhibits too much periodic error.. they seem to guarantee around 20" peak-to-peak (although i find nowhere where this is written down). that's a good thing..
also the iEQ45 is much lighter than its competitors, almost 1/2 the weight.
on the other hand the Atlas/EQ6 is pretty much bulletproof. and they're everywhere, everybody knows how to fix them and work around any particular bugs or issues.
this thread might add more - it's about the HEQ5Pro, which has the same electronics as the EQ6/Atlas

I think that is the first time I have heard anyone say the Atlas is noisy. I have to have my ear right beside my Atlas to even hear it when it slews.
I totally agree that it is a great mount.

Is there an ASCOM driver for iEQ45?
Yes there is.

Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:25 PM
can you elaborate on what you say about the iEQ45?
i had a chance to look at two... they seemed OK on the outside. and the PE is somewhat smaller than really bad CGEMs..
as an aside: I used to absolutely hate my CGEM, and would jump at the chance to sell it. But after re-spacing the encoders, it has been performing really great that I will not sell it even if two people want to buy it.. (and in spite of the fact that I now have two Astro-Physics mounts)
After using the AP GTO controller for the last week, I have a much better appreciation for the Nexstar controller, particularly its mount modeling (non-existent on the AP) and the All Star Polar Align. It's just bad that the 8/3 gear problem on the CGEM is there, and the periodic error is high.
That said, my CGEM can still guide at < 2" RMS, which should be enough for any focal length under 1000mm.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:35 PM
On the other hand, you'll find lots of happy owners of all three mounts as well. The main thing is, when you get a bad one, will the company work with you and make it right. Most people who've dealt with iOptron will tell you that their customer service is top notch and very responsive. I've found the same.
I've only owned the iEQ45 but from what I've read, if you get a good example of any of these mounts, they will perform similarly ... all bells and whistles aside.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 02:34 PM
hi Ed,

That said, my CGEM can still guide at < 2" RMS, which should be enough for any focal length under 1000mm.
Just my out-of-the-box observations at this point. The iEQ45 is of the typical iOptron build quality, that is cheap with as many corners cut as possible. The tripod is junk reminicent of the LX80 tripod that people have had break (maybe the pier is better). The mount base castings are poor and thin in comparison to the Atlas/CGEM. The motor/electronics boxes are plastic and look like afterthoughts and help to make the mount very noisy (like the CG-5). The V-series saddle should simply be tossed. The hideable counterwieght bar is a cute idea, but not a good one and results in an entirely too short bar (note that the Atlas suffers from the same problem). The attachment of the mount to the tripod with three non-captive thumb screws is a bad idea (these will get dropped and/or lost). I personally find the hand controller to be confusing with a lot of unnecessary information.
The news is not all bad though. The latitude adjustment mechanism, while a little cumbersome, is nice and seems to work well (its a real contrast to the rest of the mount base). The knobs are all metal, even though on the small side. Nice polar scope (essentially unnecessary on the Atlas/CGEM). GPS, which is simply unnecessary technology. The D-series saddle is a compression saddle that is machined. Having the power connection as well as the hand controller connection in a non-moving location is good (but having the AG connection there is not necessarily good). The downside is that you need to have a cable go to the DEC axis like the CG-5 with is not advantageous.
While the upper portion of the mount appears capable, nothing about the mount base or tripod suggests that it should have a similar wieght capacity to the Atlas/CGEM. I can overload any mount and make it work, that doesn't mean I should and I think this mount is overrated on that basis.
Finally, for the additional price necessary to purchase the mount that has the DEC axis problem fixed (i.e., the modified mount), I would save the extra money ($200 on the CGEM, $300 on the Atlas) and put it into something else. Were this mount in the $1000 range and competing against the Sirius, I would maybe think better of it. As Dan says, in this range of mounts, there are good and bad examples and the iEQ45 is clearly no exception.
When I get some time to tear it apart, I will let you know what I think about the guts. To date I have only seen other's photos which have left me unimpressed.

BUT I just bought a iEQ45,and I will say that I enjoy this
mount very much.The Ieq comes with a counterweight bar That
would only be on a modified Eq6 and allmost as big around as my G11.IMHO as a owener of both mount This ieq45 mount is every bit as capable as my atlas(UNMODIFIED) mounts were.And a pleasure to setup and use....If I didnt have a G11 and only
had one mount,AND didnt care about the old tech and weight of the EQ6,I would have a EQ6.....But for a portable mount
that goes to dark sites and star parties,My iEQ45 is great for me...As far as the tripods go I never thought much of the atlas tripods..(unmodified).In anycase I built an adapter for my G11 tripod for use at overnight star parties....But for ease of use and fast setups the ioptron one works fine.
And having a shorter counterweight bar is very nice,in its setup many diferent types of scopes can be used.And not have a LONG bar to get in the way.There is an optinoal bar extension that can add length to the system if needed.
The thing about this mount is the ease of use and its technology(buit in gps rather that add on ,ect)and very low weight makes moving it a snap..
Even with a one star align,this mount has great gotos and tracking.(easy to redo if someone bumps into you'r mount..lol)
But the ATLAS/EQ6 are Much quiter !!
But you can change slew speed to help with the noise.
So that being said...The EQ6 is a great mount for the price.
But like me,if you want a much lighter mount with 45lb payload,electronic balance,modern electronics,ease of use,belt drive,and very good cutomer service,I got the iEQ45 ,after owning Atlas,s......But I use this mount as a portable unit.You cant go wrong with any of the 3..Just depends whats important to you.
and its sooo much lighter,and does a great job tracking..
Iv had good response with Ioptron support,they returned phone calls,and emails fast..They even sent me some touch up paint in 2 days when I asked for some for my counterweights..,,,the new clutch modle has new bearings
also and the 8407 hand controller with multi star align...

Now that I have gotten that out of the way…
Dan Crowson -- It is reassuring to hear that the Atlas is able to handle the AT6RC at 1368mm—it will be nice to know in the back of my mind that if I _want_ to image at that FL, I will be safe and have a mount that is quite able.
I most certainly will be using EQMOD if I get the atlas, so it is nice to know that I shouldn't worry too much about the hand controller—to be honest, I was a bit concerned about having a piece of hardware/software that will be technologically sound and be able to endure a few years without being what one would consider 'outdated.' Looking at the controller I sort of got the feeling that I may already be behind the curve, so it's great to know that the hand controller is rather insignificant when using a computer in the field.
Great, I too will be tearing down after every session, and being able to get an accurate, consistent, and fast polar alignment is important to me. It is nice to know that EQMOD can assist with that.
Midnight Dan -- I agree, and you do have a valid point—both of these mounts will likely be perfectly capable. However, I just know that if I cannot fully justify that I made the best, overall decision for the amount spent, I will beat myself up over it for the entire duration of mount ownership, even if the mount functions adequately.
In regard to the controller, these kinds of things are what really sort-of hooked me on the ieq45—I have this feeling that I will be missing out on newer features that may not be built immediately into the Atlas design. However, on the other side, the Atlas does have a longer history, and the fact that the mount has endured this long with a positive track record and even while not having these shiny features built-in stands on its own. Being able to use EQMOD also helps realize that I may not be missing out on much.
Also, I agree that customer service is important at this price point. Most of what I have come across in terms of IOptron customer service has been positive.
EFT -- Yes, the 'long run' is what I am applying quite a bit of significance to in this decision. I am trying to find the balance between shiny new features and longer term reliability. Perhaps in this price range I am expecting too much. In this instance, my gut is telling me to lean towards something that has a track record for being reliable and ignore the built-in goodies.
Thanks for the break down about the pros and cons of the IEQ45. I am certainly not looking for a mount that could be considered overloaded, that's exactly one of the main reasons I am moving away from my CG5, apart from the noise, and some goofiness with the DEC and autoguiding (which is also probably related to the weight).
Orlyandico -- At one early point in my decision process I was going to get a CGEM, but I eventually became afraid because I have read so many stories about users getting bad apples, or sending them back after so long because something went bad, etc. However, I am probably just being a bit over-cautious.
JonM – I certainly would not be happy had I experienced that with a new mount. I would find it quite concerning if a new mount was missing parts and the manufacturer recommended I find replacements at the hardware store, rather than just sending the proper replacements.
I am hearing a lot of positive things about EQMOD, and I am excited to check it out, to say the least.
Acquiring a mount that is a bit quieter than the CG5 is something that I am most certainly looking forward to. I don't necessarily need silent; I just would like something that is quieter than a coffee grinder. It really comes down to having a mount that doesn't disturb others when out viewing in groups. I have overheard a few comments made by others in my club about the sound of my mount slewing and it is disheartening, to say the least—I have spent hours adjusting the mount, and have lined the inside of the plastic casing, but my efforts weren't as fruitful as I had hoped. I have checked out a few samples of the Atlas on youtube and it certainly sounds much better than the CG5. That factor alone has me hopeful about an Atlas purchase.
Mega256 -- Ah, now you have my attention with the 'UNMODIFIED' comment. I will need to do some research about Atlas modifications. That sounds like a fun, winter project.
That's reassuring to hear that both mounts do well with their goto. I know that this isn't really a requirement, or necessity, it's just nice to be able to quickly punch in an object and have the mount effortlessly slew to it without requiring much, or any effort. However, I may turn into the Grinch if someone bumps into my mount.
As I mentioned above, noise is definitely something I will be paying attention to in my decision, as I don't want to be in the same situation I am now in with my CG5 and its noise.
Thanks for all of the information that will certainly help with weighing the pros and cons for each.
Jeff in Austin -- I would have to say I agree that it would be a good combination, based on what I have read and the help provided here.
Thanks to everyone who has helped. I apologize if I missed a response to something; do know that I did indeed read every word of help provided here and took it into considering when making my decision.
I think I am going to go with an Atlas. While both are probably fine for my setup, I just feel that it may be a better idea to go with a mount that has been around for a while and has plenty of data available that shows that overall, the mount can be depended on for years to come, give or take a few bad apples.

if I had a choice...You will have to buy from Canada,not a problem,but Orion has the USA market Atlas in the USA..
Take a look at KW scopes,,,also the alt/az EQ6 is nice but more money,and if you dont want or need the alt/az mode may not be a good value...You can get some deals on the Atlas at times..
Like I said I would get the Atlas/EQ6 if that was my only mount in that price point...Its a beast!!
But for me I just like my IEQ45..better for what i want to use it for...I can move the mount and tripod in one piece
I could not do that with my atlas...
The Atlas/Eq6 have been around for a long time and LOTS of mods are all over...join the Yahoo groups and EQmod group..
The new Atlas mounts have good grease,so if you buy new ,dont worry about it.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 07:59 PM
I'm holding judgement on the IEQ45, but so far, everything looks great. Most of the negative comments I have read are typical of early release products. I have owned some other iOptron products and have never found their stuff to be garbage.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:31 PM
I don't have a CG-5, but my CGEM sounds like an asthmatic coffee grinder.. and my Mach1 sounds like a muscleman coffee grinder.
In other words, even the Mach1 is pretty darn noisy.

I don't see what's the big deal with CG-5 noise.
I don't have a CG-5, but my CGEM sounds like an asthmatic coffee grinder.. and my Mach1 sounds like a muscleman coffee grinder.
In other words, even the Mach1 is pretty darn noisy.
The CG-5 has similar noise to the CGEM since they both use the same motors. However, the plastic motor housings of the CG-5 tend to significantly amplify the noise compared to the CGEM. If you run the CG-5 with the motor covers off, it is similar in sound to the CGEM, although a CGEM can usually be adjusted to be more quiet in the long run.
Interesting about the Mach1. I would have expected that to be pretty quiet.

the only bad news is the sometimes horrific periodic error and the large 8/3 harmonic.
What is the source data for your comments and how many samples have you checked? I'm just wondering since your comments are so negative. Did you have a bad experience with a CGEM mount?
Posted 30 December 2012 - 02:03 AM
the 8/3 is quite well known. Even Celestron is aware of it and trying to do a firmware fix (you can check on the - members only - TeamCelestron forum, which is an official Celestron forum). You'll also see regular complaints along this line on the CelestronCGEM yahoo group.
for some CGEM's the 8/3 harmonic is small-ish, but on mine it's huge (about 20"). Mark also has one with large 8/3, and his travails with his CGEM here on CN are well documented.
that said.. the software is great. Like I said, in spite of the huge periodic error, it guides well enough ( < 2" RMS ) which should be good enough for focal lengths under 1000 mm.
I would class it as a "must guide" mount though - on mine the PE is 40" peak-to-peak which makes it almost useless for unguided imaging except very short exposures i.e. 30 seconds, at very short focal lengths, i.e. under 500mm.
There's one guy (Jeff) on the CelestronCGEM yahoo group who images with a CGEM and a C11HD at native focal length. But... he has an adaptive optics unit. My own experience with the CGEM and my C9.25 is that over 1-2 minutes, even with guiding, the CGEM can't produce consistently round stars at f/10. The gear noise is simply too large (and that includes the 8/3). That's 0.68" / pixel though which would be demanding of most mounts.
I think I've been pretty open about my bad experience with the CGEM - but I am by no means alone in this. That said, I am keeping mine, in spite of having two AP's and a couple guys want to buy my CGEM - the software is great, the mount modeling is great, the ASPA is great - it's a great visual mount, if a bit heavy.
But anyone buying one has to be aware of the 8/3, DEC cogging, and large periodic error. Overall I think the Atlas/EQ6 is more trouble-free due to having a simpler gearbox and no known cogging issue.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 02:19 AM
a lot of people have great success with CGEM's or Atlas mounts. but if you check they are almost invariably < 1 meter focal length.
when you get to < 1" / pixel things become much tougher and I think it's not fair to expect that sort of performance consistently from a CGEM, Atlas, or comparable mount.
so - CGEM, Atlas, or iEQ45 - all should work fine under 1000mm. But if I was ambitious and going for > 2 meter FL, I think I would choose the Atlas... but I am keeping the CGEM for its sheer convenience and user-friendliness.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 03:26 AM
The Atlas is not quiet so that could rule it out if that is an issue for you. It has never bothered me because I point to a single star to sync (first one is the only one not on my CCD) and then I go inside (the house or my car if somewhere) and remotely connect to my laptop. You'll also find that you only slew once per object so it isn't that big of deal.
I think that is the first time I have heard anyone say the Atlas is noisy. I have to have my ear right beside my Atlas to even hear it when it slews.
I totally agree that it is a great mount.
My EQ-6 got a bit noisy after a year or so, sounded like a garburator when slewing fast, I tightened up the gear meshing (found a step by step guide using google) and ever since it's been as quiet as anything, just a low whine when it slews.

I have a ZIMBRA instance running on Amazon EC2. I used the available AMI, which seems to be a little bit old.
I got it all sorted out, Zimbra works, incoming/outgoing mail is fine. Zimbra Client on Mac works as well. iCal syncing, too.
Now I have several questions:
1. I assume it is the OpenSource edition, right?
2. I am using the AMI to evaluate Zimbra as Exchange alternative for our hosted Exchange solution. But unfortunately, I read that I need the network edition to use the Outlook connector. Right? Any way around this?
3. The iSync connector, which I found somewhere online, also reported that I need a license and should contact my admin. I could not finish configuration of my account.
How can i solve these issues to properly test the ZIMBRA functionality including Outlook/iSync etc.

NEW PHILADELPHIA - Malvern's height and nifty outside shooting were too much for Catholic Central to handle in Saturday's Ohio Division IV sectional championship game.
Down a point after one, the Hornets broke things open with a 10-0 second-stanza scoring burst and cruised to the victory.
The victory sends Dennis Tucci's 18-6 club into Tuesday's one-game district tournament at New Philadelphia High School opposite Berlin Hiland. Central, which went 12-10 a season ago, ends its campaign with an outstanding 17-7 mark.
The Hornets, who shot a blazing 25 of 39 from the floor (64 percent) outscored the Crusaders 40-27 in the second half.
Four Malvern players recorded all but two of the 69 markers. Mitch Loomis, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, and Max Kapron, a 6-5 senior, used their size to combine for 37. All of Loomis' eight field goals came from the paint. He also nailed three of five free throw attempts. Kapron was limited to four field goals but got to the line 12 times, swishing 10.
Trey Tucci, a 6-3 junior, shared team scoring honors with Loomis (they both had 19). He connected three times from behind the arc. Mohr added 11.
The taller Hornets, who ended Central's season a year ago, won the rebounding battle 27-18. Loomis grabbed nine.
Fletcher, a second team all-district pick, was Central's top scorer with 18. He delivered four three-pointers. Herrington, who earned first team district honors, capped his CCHS career by scoring 12. He also dished out three assists and had two blocks.
Colabella added six points and collected five rebounds to pace the Crusaders.

WHEELING-After coming ever so close to defeating one of West Virginia's premier Class A basketball powers in the 2012 girls' state championship game, Wheeling Central hopes for another shot at it this season.
The Maroon Knights trailed Huntington St. Joseph by three points and possession of the basketball with 50 seconds to go before before a turnover pierced their upset bubble inside the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum.
Six quality seniors graduated from that talented 23-4 team but Central can count on two first-team All-Valley players as rocks for Coach Penn Kurtz to build another state title contender.
Back for their senior year are three-year letter-winners Emily Bucon and Colleen McCormick. The 5-foot-7 Bucon also earned All-West Virginia Class A first-team laurels after an excellent junior season in which she averaged 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Usually at her best in big games, Bucon scored a career high 34 points as the Maroon Knights defeated Class AAA rival Wheeling Park in a double-overtime thriller.
At the outset of practice, Bucon took away suspense about her collegiate basketball when she committed to join Coach Lynn Ullom's program at West Liberty University.
While Bucon was dominating outside, her classmate McCormick was taking care of business inside. The long-armed 5-11 post performer averaged 13.7 points and 10.1 rebounds. She also was a standout on the defensive end of the court with her shot-blocking ability.
McCormick was captain of the all-state second team and earned All-OVAC laurels. McCormick is still undecided about her college plans.
''Emily and Colleen are very solid fundamental players with great skills offensively and defensively,'' Kurtz, who begins his 20th season, said. ''Both are excellent leaders and worked as hard this summer as any incoming seniors I've coached here.
''Both of them are strong rebounders. Emily runs the floor exceptionally well and is one of the most versatile players around. Colleen averaged 12 points and 11 rebounds two years ago as a sophomore. She has stepped up her game ever since her freshman season. She's very strong playing with her back to the basket and she also can step out occasionally and nail a 3-pointer.''
Central's success at filling the other three starting positions will be the key to the upcoming season.
Expected to join McCormick underneath is junior Madison Basinger (5-10), while the other two guards are expected to be senior Beth Stayduhar (5-6) and junior Maria Collier (5-4). Basinger is being counted to provide additional rebounding strength. Stayduhar helped out coming off the bench last year while Collier played mostly jayvee ball.
Also battling for starting positions are juniors Ashton Cross (5-6), Delaney Denniston (5-6), McKenzie Michael (5-10 and sophomores Regan Blaha (5-9), Sydney Bennington (5-8), Cara Stahl (5-4) and Julianna Ryan 5-4).
Cassie Sorge, a four-year starter for the Maroon Knights, was joined on the graduation list by Bri Robbins, Julia Palmer, Ashley Martin, Angela Sparachane and Emily Wizba. Sorge, Robbins and Palmer were key contributors as starters during the state championship run while Martin, Sparachane and Wizba also had their moments off the bench.
With so many new faces in the lineup, the Maroon Knights may well struggle due to their difficult first-month schedule. Central Catholic gets an early look at the four-time defending state champion Huntington St. Joe squad when they hook up in the opening round of the Williamstown Tipoff Tournament on Dec. 7.
Upcoming in the month is a home game against perennial Ohio small school power Shadyside, two games in the John Marshall tournament along with with another trip into Marshall County to play the Lady Monarchs four days later.
After hosting Charleston Catholic three days before Christmas, Central then takes part in the annual Undo's Catholic Holiday Classic on Dec. 28-29 at Wheeling Jesuit University's McDonough Center.
''We will find out a lot about ourselves during the first month,'' Kurtz stressed. ''And our schedule doesn't get any easier the rest of the way with two games against Wheeling Park and a trip to St. Marys which is loaded again this year.''
The Maroon Knights' basketball coaching staff also includes Bob Robinson, Suzie Dailer, Paul Kurtz and Lyndsey Ammirante.

2006 Goodguys West Coast Nationals - California GoldWritten by on January 3, 2007 Precious Metal From The Goodguys West Coast Nationals
When the Goodguys West Coast Nationals rolls around at the end of August, the summer show season is far from over, but we really like being able to hit a national show not very far from home after months of traveling all over the United States.
After a summer on the road checking out the latest and greatest rods and customs from every other corner of the country, it's a treat to get back to the West Coast to see some of that famous Golden State iron. The Bay Area has always been the center of some of the greatest hot rods and customs--and it's Goodguys' home turf. Every August, Goodguys packs the Alameda County Fairgrounds with countless outstanding cars. Some are brand-new cars making a late-summer debut. Some are recent show-stoppers making the rounds of Goodguys shows, just like us. Others are old local favorites that have been making the pilgrimage to Pleasanton for decades. This time, we had the tough job of selecting a handful of these top-shelf rods and customs to receive R&C Top 10 awards. Those picks, along with a few others from the weekend, are presented on the following pages.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Gary Cedoline added a six-pack of Holley 94s at midnight the night before the show, giving the '58 283 small-block a different look than when we saw the car at Paso Robles earlier in the year. Gary has owned it just over a year, but the history of this unchopped and channeled Deuce five-window goes all the way back to the late '50s when it was built.In the 20 years that he's owned it, Mike Smith's channeled '25 Ford T bucket has become a favorite at Pleasanton. He recently replaced the Flathead and '39 box with a 327 with a four-speed (the Flattie can drop back in any time), and switched the red wire wheels for these chrome reverse rims. The dash, with Stewart Warner gauges, is also relatively recent. The T, which Mike started building at age 12, originally came from the Pomona swap meet for $150. The initial buildup was under $5K.Our favorite wagon in the woodie corral was Gerry and Gail Gamet's '51 Ford. Gerry designed the car to blend old and new styling. Sid Chaver created the interior, where '93 LeBaron front seats--separated by a custom center console--face the factory gauges and clock in a modified dash. The Billet Specialties rims fit the theme. A Ford 5-liter engine provides power. The chassis is fitted with a Fatman IFS, Carrera coilovers, and POSIES SuperSlide rear springs.The European-looking hardtop in the pro area was, in fact, the smoothest Kaiser you'll ever see. J.F. Launier from Osoyoos, British Columbia, owns this '51 two-door and chopped 5 inches out of the modified top, re-working every panel before shooting the custom blue metalflake paint. J.F. built the chassis with a Corvette IFS and four-corner airbags. The Intro wheels are modified 20s and 22s, and the engine is a 4.6L Northstar. The handbuilt interior features late-Honda buckets.Skoty Chops' chopped '30 coupe is channeled over a custom chassis, and Z'd 6 inches in the front and 12 in back. The wheelbase was stretched 15 inches. A pair of '59 Chrysler hubcaps were incorporated into the dash. The small-block is topped with Lincoln 94s on a Weiand manifold, with three coiled fuel lines. A tiki head knob tops the suicide shifter mounted outside the driver side.Richard Diamond got help from legendary custom builder Bill Hines in the buildup of his on-the-ground, chopped '51 Merc. The "Ben Hur caps," as he calls them, are put together from '57 Cadillac and Lancer wheel covers with Dodge bullet hubs. It's a Chevy 350 under the hood. A Grabowski-carved shifter skull operates the Turbo 350 trans.Phil Blodgett has owned this '36 Ford cabrio for 12 years, but it has only been finished since March 2006. Doug Leibrant worked with Phil and did most of the buildup, and the goal was to keep it all pre-1960. The top was made from original 1936 material, the wheels are late-'40s-era cast-aluminum Streamlites on Dunlop racing tires, and the paint is old-style nitro-cellulose lacquer. The Flathead was replaced with a '57 Corvette injected 283.Maybe Buick pickups will start getting popular after people see Cliff Brace's '39. A supercharged V-6 powers Bruce's truck, which features a '75 Camaro front clip, and rolls on 17-inch Pacer rims. The truck that Buick never built is actually created from a '42 Chevy cab, chopped 2 inches, along with modified '39 Buick front sheetmetal and a handmade bed, grille, and tailgate. The phantom pickup is finished in Lamborghini orange paint.Peter Scialabba came to Pleasanton with a bunch of beautiful traditional-looking cars and trucks, but the one that really appealed to us was this original-steel '29 Model A roadster, built like it would have looked in 1962. Peter topped the small-block with Offy valve covers and triple Rochesters. A Bop Top covers the cockpit, and the Indy red paint is dressed up with some Tommy the Greek-style 'striping.
When Rick "Zoomie" Hanson was a kid, he built a model of the Black Widow Model T roadster pickup, and has always wanted to build a fullsize version in the style of a late-'50s/early '60s show circuit vehicle. He accomplished his goal with this version, built from a bone-stock '28 Model A rpu, and completed with aftermarket parts--except for the 350 small-block from a salvage yard. Karil Popov did the metalwork, and Zoomie's original model accompanies the car wherever it goes.We saw Keith Kaucher's '54 Ford Victoria custom being built, featured it back in October, and love seeing it at the shows. The Ford 390-powered Vicky with a Toploader four-speed sits on a Mercury front clip, but the biggest distinction--aside from the deep purple paint--is the '65 Buick Wildcat top seamlessly grafted to the body at Starlite Rod & Kustom. Purple and white tuck 'n' roll vinyl fills the interior.Casey Tollini acquired this '48 Chevy pickup when he was 12, finished it five years later, and has spent the past three years driving it everywhere. The engine is a 383 Chevy small-block with a 700-R4 transmission. Casey beefed up the front suspension with a Mustang II IFS setup; the rear rides on parallel leafs. The interior is two-tone tuck 'n' roll and matches the paint, which was shot by the owner when he was 17.It's the ice pearl paint that draws people over to look at this '50 Merc, but there's plenty more to see on Chris and Bette Addington's custom, built by Chris along with Tim Robison. The suspension includes a Fatman clip and Air Ride 'bags. The engine is a Chevy 350 with a 700-R4. The exterior is still the biggest draw. The top was chopped 2 1/2 inches, and the paint was done in a home garage. Ron Beam added the pinstriping.Abel Reyes made minimal external mods and kept all the brightwork on this sky blue suede '52 Chevy hardtop, including the hood ornament, but brought the body down to the ground.Darin Houston owns this small-block-powered, suede-in-the-shade, chopped '32 five-window. The look of the flat black paint is balanced by the door handles and polished rims with wide whites, as well as the metalwork on the firewall.Soncy Road Body Shop in Amarillo built this chopped '50 Ford woodie from the ground up for Mike Hamel, using the original wood. It rides on a Fatman suspension with Air Ride 'bags in the rear, and runs a 327 with a TH350. Mike swaps the five-spokes with a couple other sets of wheels every few days.You might not think of '53 Chevys as classy, but some beautiful bodywork, lowered stance, and Thundercloud metallic paint do the trick on Robert and Shelby Smith's two-door post. Trim was removed, and the grille was filled with teeth from a '54. A 350/350 combo provides power.This '36 Chevy was already hot rodded when Bruce Brincka got it about four years ago. When it got rear-ended, Bruce and his family started a complete rebuild, adding a Mustang II IFS, and a ZZ3 with a TH400, plus white tuck 'n' roll on the inside. Today, the flamed hauler gets driven all over the place.
Larry Freeman went the other way with his snow-white '54 Chevy hardtop, retaining the body trim, and building a cool resto rod. Larry kept the hood up to show off the 235 inline-six running a Wayne cylinder head and Offy manifold, plus a Hildebrandt beehive oil filter.Our prediction that Ts are making a comeback was supported in Pleasanton by Gary Hubback's '27 turtle deck roadster, with a pair of Strombergs on a Thickstun intake manifold (with a Thickstun air cleaner) feeding the '36 Bohnalite-head Flathead. Gary dropped the body on Deuce 'rails and added a '32 grille.This Flathead-powered '31 coupe was already a chopped hot rod when Garran Soohoo started rebuilding it. Garran, from Nitro Street Rods in Reno, added four Strombergs, built and sleeved the wishbones, switched the banjo rear with a quick-change, redid all the window glass, installed the roof insert, and basically injected the rod with the personality it now exudes. The paint, however, is original.It must be a blast to drive this cool Deuce highboy, owned by Dave Davidson. The body is from Rod Bods, pulled down the road by a Rochester fuel-injected 409 mill with a four-speed. Rims are five-spoke mags.Lil' John Buttera has been setting trends for decades and drew a crowd with his '28 roadster, built by Steve Moal, Jimmy Kilroy, and John himself. Impressive elements include the torsion bar front suspension, aluminum Indy small-block motor, and hand-fabricated mirror-finish body.Russell Martin kept his '22 Buick roadster true Bu, with the exception of the reshaped and boxed '28 Chevy 'rails. The bored 401 engine with Offy valve covers is tied to a Buick TH400 with a 2.73 Posi rear from a '72 Gran Sport. The car was shortened 10 inches to mimic the proportions of a Model A.This chopped and dropped '50 Ford, the property of Gary and Joan Levering, looks great with spots, smoothed sheetmetal, side pipes, and a monochrome copper paint job. The contemporary interior includes late-model buckets and a center console. A small-block gets it down the road.

I watched your casting all day and I have a few pointers. You are a powerful man, don't over load the rod (it sets off oscillations in the rod a wiggle) it un-loads instead of loads, on the back cast stop the rod completely and let the line un-furl. Sometimes the leader/fly hooked to the left, that happens when the rod is not brought back and forward in a straight line (oval shape).

Born Dana Thomas Carvey in Missoula, MO on June 2, 1955, he was the youngest son of educators William and Billie Carvey. When Carvey was three, he moved with his family to the Bay Area town of San Carlos, CA; there, with his parents' encouragement, he began to develop his artistic skills at a very early age. He displayed an uncanny gift for mimicking actors he saw on television, and he showed promise as a musician on drums and guitar. While studying communication arts at San Francisco State University, he put his impressions to the test before live audiences at area comedy clubs.

Become the NBA Western Conference?
I am so tired of hearing how good the Big Ten is in basketball. Fans of that conference easily dismiss Iowa State fans when they point out how bad their football is, but my goodness any team from the Big Ten would win the Big XII in basketball and Kansas would finish 6th if it were reversed.
Yeah Indiana and Michigan are tough, but they aren't world beaters by any stretch. And after them and Michigan State, you find the same good to mediocre teams that make up the middle and the bad at the bottom.
I heard the same thing last year, and in the end a Big XII team was playing for a National Title and no Big Ten team was to be found.
(please note I was trying not to name names even though you know what fan base I am talking about and I refuse to type Big Ten as BIG because that maybe the dumbest thing I have ever seen)
It will be fun to watch the teams out of that conference, burn and crash come NCAA tourney time.
I find this funny.

Arguably the best conference in what is widely accepted as an extremely "down" year in CBB as a whole. Hang that hat!
Campbell In!
Their big bonus this year was having so many teams ranked so high at the beginning. When they get into conference play, a loss is easily dismissed by how tough the rest of the conference is, "looked, we're all ranked." I do think it's a very good conference, don't get me wrong, but over-all the conference was a bit over-rated early, which is keeping them up there now.
I almost get a feeling it's kind of a gimme for them from the sports writers, they feel so bad about how ****** their football is, they give them this little boost during basketball season. Hell, with all the teams they are adding, maybe they are trying to become the next Big East and they are just going to give up on football all together.
It makes me mad how every football and basketball season the BIG is expected to be the best conference.
This is how the media is with the big 10. Anytime they show the slightest sign of being good in anything they immediately hype them up, whether it be basketball or football. Not that the big 10 is bad in basketball by any means (unlike football), but there's an obvious big 10 lean in the media.
When pretty much every team in the Big 10 conference is overrated and it's conference season it's impossible to judge how good they actually are by their ranking because they play each other every night. I have a feeling they get two teams in the sweet sixteen. Some people are saying they could get 2-3 in the Final Four. Big 10 fans are ridiculous.
The same thing happens with the SEC in football. If you are pre-ranked so high it is more dificult to fall after losses because of the measuring statistics. The Big 12 front office needs to start making a bigger push on this front in football or things will continue to go the way of the SEC and Pac 10. Just being good at a sport does not mean you will be ranked appropriately and the Big 12 lacks major media centers for the extra publicity.
Football and Basketball rankings are not 100% and pretty much suck and thats the story I am sticking to.
Smoke um if you got um
Scoop Jackson said the other day that BIG in basketball was equivalent to the SEC in football. I guess he forgot that the BIG hasn't won a title since 2000.

When was the last time the B10 was expected to be the best conference in football?
Also, unlike football, basketball provides plenty of chances for non-conference matchups between conferences and the last two years the B10 has done extremely well out of conference.
I know they probably get more love than they should, but they have some very good teams this year it would appear and I don't have a huge problem with it. Of course, I don't have to put up with Hawk fans every day, and if I did it would probably irritate me a lot more.
I think the B1G is really good, but not nearly as good as everyone makes them out to be.
Indiana and Michigan are really good, I will admit that. MSU is decent, but nothing real special IMO. OSU got whooped by Kansas on their own floor.
One thing about the Big 12 though IMO, is that there are some REALLY athletic teams. Maybe not the most polished players ever, but VERY athletic players. Teams like KU, KSU, Baylor, and especially Okie St just have some amazingly talented and gifted athletes on their teams. Okie St is just loaded with guys like that.
So although I'd admit the B1G conference is better than the Big 12, it's not by nearly as much as people would think.

I think the time that still sticks in my mind the most is the year the media tried their damndest to push a Michigan-OSU rematch game, and they both ended up getting dominated in their respective bowls.

I expect Michigan State in the sweet sixteen, either 1 or both of Michigan and Indiana in there too. Nobody else. Probably only one of those three advance to the elite eight. The thing is, all these big 10 teams are going to get seeded very favorably and need to lose to 7 and 6 seeds to get knocked out.
