Project assumes that most people work a standard week, Monday through Friday, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. But you don't have to stick with that schedule. If you want your team to work Saturdays or evenings, so be it. Just change the working time on the project calendar.
Click Project > Change Working Time.
In the For calendar list, pick the calendar type you want to modify.
If you're changing the calendar for everyone on your project, pick Standard (Project Calendar).
Click the Work Weeks tab, and select Default.
Note: You can create a temporary set of working days with different working times than the usual schedule—for example, if you only need your team to work Saturdays during the summer. Type a new name, use the Start and Finish columns to indicate how long this temporary work schedule lasts, then click Details to set the exact time of day that work should occur.
Click Details.
Select Saturday.
You can select any day, of course. Or you can select multiple days by pressing Ctrl while you select another day.
Decide if the day is working or non-working by clicking one of the three buttons on the right of the dialog box.
Set the working hours for the day, and then click OK.This picture shows how to turn Saturday into a working day
You changed the working days. Now what?
Try this
Here's how
Add vacation days
Creating a calendar for a specific person (to indicate vacations and other time off) is nearly the same as modifying the project calendar. In Step 1 in the above graphic, select the person whose calendar you want to create, and then go through the same steps.
Learn more about entering vacation days.
Add holidays
Adding holidays that are corporate-wide or nation-wide involves modifying the project calendar.
Create a non-working day
To change a working day to non-working, use the same process as depicted in the above graphic, except in Step 5 where you would select Set days to nonworking time.
Include non-project work in the schedule
Maybe your team members realistically spend only six hours a day on project tasks, and two hours in meetings and reading email. You change resource availability to six hours per day in the project calendar to create more realistic working times.
Use your updated project calendar in other projects
If you make the same changes to the calendar each time you create a new project, save some time by saving a completed project as a template or adding the calendar to the global file.
Get permission to change the calendar
When you use Project Professional with Project Web App, the project calendar is defined by the enterprise global template. Talk to your administrator to get permission to make changes to the enterprise global template.
Add or change a Calendar
You can add or customize three types of calendars:

MACON (WMAZ) -- The lawyer for a man accused of shooting a woman outside a Macon gas station is asking a judge to grant him bond.
Frank Reeves, 73, is charged with murder for allegedly shooting Linda Hunnicutt at the Murphy's Express on Gray Highway last month.
RELATED | Wheelchair-bound man shoots woman at gas station
Today, Veronica Brinson asked Judge Howard Simms to grant him $30,000 bond.
She cited his ties to the community and his health.
Brinson said, "We want him to be healthy for these proceedings. We want him to live through these proceedings. "
It is unknown whether Reeves has any specific medical issues, but he must use a wheelchair to get around.
The judge also heard from Hunnicutt's family, who argued against the bond.
One of Hunnicutt's daughters told the judge that her mother's life was worth more than $30,000.
Simms declared a recess to review the evidence and may rule later today.

Tallahassee, FL-Fans packed into some of their favorite local bars to watch Super Bowl 47.
Over at the Killearn Po' Boys, fans gathered to watch the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers.
With a blackout delaying part of the game and the 49ers almost mounting a comeback in the final minutes, some fans say this Super Bowl is one for the history books.
"This ranks among the top Super Bowl games I've ever seen in my life. This is incredible. It sets the precedent for Super Bowl Games to come," said Chris McEacharn
"Man it's amazing. I can't believe the way Baltimore keeps hitting people. That's what the difference maker is, the way they just hit," said Jon Sweede.

Jacob Pollowitz (Media Relations/Broadcasting): California Chrome "He's been a standout for the better part of the 2014 season, and with good racing luck, he should be able to take care of business."
Janet Elseth (EmD Graphics): Wildcat Red and Dance With Fate "My cat, of course, picked Wildcat Red."
Chris McKinney (EmD Corporate Sales): Ride On Curlin "His half-mile figures have been on a decline while his final pace figure has improved, which means Borel will bring him down the stretch late."

David "Marbles: Singer (Jockey Agent): California Chrome "He looks almost unbeatable to me."
Sophia McKee (EmD Director of Marketing): Samraat "He's consistent and his Beyer Speed Figures are consistent, and even though he was racing against Grade Three company, his Beyers are comparable with Grade One horses.

Tom Wenzel (Trainer): General A Rod, Wildcat Red, Samraat: "General A Rod has tactical speed and pedigree-wise, he's solid. Wildcat Red has enough speed to stay out of trouble. Out of all those horses, I probably like Samraat the best."

Cy Labar (EmD TV Production): California Chrome "Sometime it's OK to pick the chalk."
David Alvarado (Former EmD Trainer): Dance With Fate "He blew past California Chrome in the Del Mar Futurity, and his price will be a lot bigger then Chrome's. And remember the old saying in horse racing is, Never Pick the Favorite!"

Choosing the Right Cabinetry
Creating a space that is uniquely your own can be an overwhelming process.
Explore this section to learn all you need to know to be confident in the choices you make.
Highlighted Finishes
Available on Maple, Oak, Cherry, Birch and Hickory1
A base stain color is hand-rubbed into the wood for maximum absorption. Next, a highlight glaze is hand-applied to the recesses in the door and drawer fronts, adding depth in color without altering the appearance of the base stain.
- This hand-detailed technique creates an artisan look for your space.
- Highlighted finishes are hand-applied. This human element may leave a slight variance in appearance from one cabinet to the next, and no two doors will look exactly alike.
- Highlights enhance the details of the door but do not change or affect the base color.

A small team from Tivoli development, product management, and sales enablement descended upon China and India recently to meet with customers, business partners, and the local IBM security teams. Aside from some seriously good food and some serious jetlag, what else did the Tivoli team get out of this trip? Read on my friends…
China: original architects of "perimeter defense"
We had the good fortune of working in a stop at the Great Wall of China on our travel day between stops in Beijing and Shanghai. Don't think for one moment that this piece of the itinerary was a touristy boondoggle. Oh no. Our visit to the famous 5,000 mile long collection of walls, trenches, and other natural barriers was all business.
In security parlance, the Great Wall represents the ultimate in perimeter defense. Originally constructed over 2,000 years ago in the Qin Dynasty and improved through the 1600s during the Ming Dynasty to its present form today, the Great Wall performed well to keep the "bad guys out" – whomever the "bad guys" of the century happened to be.
While that is an impressive track record for any security professional, the Tivoli Security team decided to investigate a bit deeper. It turns out that the particular stretch of Wall that we visited was rather unique – and ripe with foreshadowing. We toured the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, about 70km northeast of Beijing. What is unique about this stretch of the wall is that it was designed to fight off enemies on both the outer and inner sides of the wall.
This concept of finally looking at insider threat proved to be quite prophetic, but was too little, too late for the Ming Dynasty. A disgruntled insider, General Wu Sangui, opened the gates in 1644 from the inside at Shanhaiguan to the advancing enemy. Of course, this led to the fall of the government and certainly led to the loss of jobs for their security professionals.
Major banks and government institutions we visited in present day China have clearly followed suit with their predecessors and focused first on perimeter defense. Fortunately, we are seeing a renewed concern and focus inside these organizations to address insider threat and risk management. It is still a burgeoning area of investment for most firms, but the promising aspect is that the organizations we talked to were most interested in attacking the insider threat because true security risk management was the right thing to do and essential to protect valuable data – and not strictly as a "box to be checked" on an audit.
India: seeking wisdom, prosperity, good fortune…and security.
Our timing to visit Mumbai was very fortunate as we arrived during the annual Hindu festival of Ganesha Chaturthi. I admit that I did not know anything about this festival before traveling to India, but I am very glad the timing worked out to experience it. There are two important things I have learned about Ganesha Chaturthi: 1) worshipers of Ganesha seek wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune; and 2) visitors flying home during the festival should add extra hours to their travel time to the airport because of the processions in the streets. More on that later.
Security wisdom was something we did find in abundance in India. Not only does Tivoli security have major development labs in Pune and Bangalore, but the clients and business partners we met with had a sophisticated view of the types of security threats they were facing and evolving compliance landscapes domestically and abroad. This led to excellent discussions on perimeter defense, intrusion prevention, as well as identity and access management, insider threat and compliance reporting.
The Indian economy is booming and you could see signs everywhere of the country's increasing prosperity. Organizations we met with clearly recognized the need to proactively handle insider and outsider threats and increasingly have the resources to do so. While there was wide agreement on the scope of security threats, the economics of how to handle those threats still seemed in flux.
Some organizations, like a large bank, saw custom development through a local services firm as the best way to meet its user provisioning and compliance auditing needs. They believed that they could deploy those security controls for a single important system more quickly and cheaply than with a leading commercial software solution. The problem with this approach became apparent when I asked them what happened when they wanted to add one more or 10 more or 20 more systems. Then the total cost of ownership advantages of partnering with a security leader like IBM, and taking advantage of the best practices of clients around the world, became obvious.
Other clients we talked with, like a large telco, expressed a strong desire to leverage IBM's expertise in managing entire security functions and billing for this service as an operating expense (OPEX) vs. capital outlay (CAPEX). In this case, the client had already purchased intrusion prevention and perimeter defense technologies from IBM and had in-house skills to manage it, but was looking for IBM to deploy and operate new solutions for insider threats and compliance.
Now we come to good fortune. Our team was very fortunate to have such welcoming hosts, interesting clients, and fantastic food at all our stops in India and China. It was truly exciting to see security professionals in those countries embrace security and compliance challenges head on, in partnership with IBM.
I also had the good (?), or at least unintentional fortune of making this trip my first round the world flight. Heading from my home in Austin, the original intent was to fly West to China, then India, and return home through Delhi via the North Pole. One potential snag in this return home that I did avoid was traffic associated with Ganesha Chaturthi in Delhi. My hosts warned me it would take 3 hours or more (vs. the typical 45 minutes) to reach the airport – and I needed all of that extra time to make flight from Mumbai. Long story short, I didn't make my connection in Delhi and ended flying through Brussels (directly over Kabul too!) on my way home. After 48 hours (and many connections later) from the time I left my last client I was finally home, sweet home! At least that detour gave me the chance to enjoy a fine mug of Hoegaarden on the way home and rack up my first round the world flight for security.

Does zimbra (using version 8.0.3 on RHEL6_X64 platform) support the Intel AES-NI engine ?
How can we activate or test it ?
If i you the OS-installed openssl command (as root)
# openssl engine -c -tt
it says
(aesni) Intel AES-NI engine
Would the openssl used by zimbra (/opt/zimbra/openssl) also be using this engine ?
Just running (as root)
# /opt/zimbra/openssl/bin/openssl engine -c -tt
(rsax) RSAX engine support.
I get the same result running this command as zimbra user.
Thx for any assistance.

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder. People who have bulimia are overly concerned with weight and body image. They eat very large amounts of food (called binging) and use inappropriate means to rid their bodies of the food (called purging). Purging may be done through vomiting, laxatives, or water pills. Excessive exercise or fasting may replace or be used along with purging. This cycle of binging and purging is used to prevent weight gain.
The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Factors that may contribute to this condition include:
Factors that increase your chance of developing bulimia include:
Behavioral symptoms include:
Physical symptoms include:
Bulimia may lead to other problems, including:
Symptoms of these complications include:
People with bulimia have a high incidence of psychiatric conditions, including:
The doctor will ask about:
The doctor will also do a physical exam. Your teeth will be checked for signs of erosion.
Tests may include:
A mental health professional may also perform a psychiatric exam and/or psychological tests.
The goals of treatment are:
Treatments include:
You may be referred to a registered dietitian. A dietitian can teach you how to follow a healthy diet and create reasonable weight and calorie goals.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
can be very effective, especially when combined with medicine.
Other therapies may be less effective, but can help you to:
Antidepressant drugs, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have proven effective in helping to reduce binging and purging.
Healthy attitudes about food and your body help prevent bulimia nervosa. Suggestions include:

Last Modified: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
OCALA - A 20-year-old man accused of having inappropriate contact with a 14-year-old girl has been charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery.
After receiving information about the alleged contact, detectives talked with Frederick D. Wood at the Sheriff's Office. The officials noted in their report that they learned Wood and the teenage girl had some sort of sexual contact twice.
Wood was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.

Longitudinal Comparative Analysis of Item-Level and Collection-Level User Searching in a Digital Library
Oksana Zavalina and Elena Vassilieva
Monday, 6:30pm
This poster reports the preliminary results of a comparative transaction log analysis study of user searching at collection and item levels in a large-scale cultural heritage digital library that provides a unique option for collection-level search. Substantial changes in user searching have been observed over time, including an important trend of the growing use of collection-level search feature. Results also demonstrate differences in the search query lengths, frequencies, and distribution of search categories between the collection-level and item-level searching. The higher occurrence of place and concept categories in collection-level user searches than in item-level searches has been consistent over time. The analysis also revealed the prevalence of subject searching (including concept, object, event, place, class of persons, and ethnic group search categories) both at the collection level and at the item level. This study provides empirical data to support digital library developers' decision making regarding information organization in large-scale aggregations of digital collections.

Yeah, it's not exactly amazing that insurance fraud is going up now that the economy is tanking. Lost jobs = new disability and worker comp claims, too.
This guy is probably on the suicide watch list now. Just hope if he does something as stupid as that he doesn't take the rest of his family like so many other idiots have done.

Instant noodles: They're cheap, easy to make and even sometimes tasty. They come in all sorts of synthetically-delicious flavours like "beef", "chicken" and "vegetable." Or at least that's what's written on the small powder packets that come with them.
But the business of the strings is ridiculous. Instant noodles sales cleared the 100 billion mark last year, according to AFP, and China alone accounts for 44 billion units sold. Canada is in 24th place in the top 42 noodle-devouring countries.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a fake dentist gave a woman with a toothache a shot in the buttocks -- and then gave the wound a kiss.
Hollywood, Florida, police arrested the 47-year-old man earlier this week on charges of practicing dental hygiene without a license.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Thursday that the woman said she went to the man's apartment in November 2010 and paid him $65 for treatment. She said the apartment had a waiting area and dental equipment. She said the man examined her mouth and applied a paste to alleviate the pain. He then gave her the shot and then kissed the injection spot.
The man had also been arrested in the neighboring town of Davie in September for practicing dentistry without a license.

House Destroyed By Burning Shed
Building on Wegee Road was apparently vacant
April 27, 2013
SHADYSIDE — Firefighters said a man was deliberately burning a shed on his property along Wegee Road near Shadyside on Friday afternoon when the fire grew out of control....
thinking...why don't use do what your name says? oh wait..you want everyone else to do it for you. lol.

There are some instances when Ohio EPA does not need to be notified or provide approval of open burning activities. However, you may have an obligation to notify or get permission from Ohio EPA before burning materials outside depending on the materials burned, the location of the burn, and the activity associated with the burn. Ohio EPA has developed a notification form [DOC], [PDF] that you can use to help make sure you are in compliance with legal notification requirements. Ohio EPA has also developed a form for requesting permission to conduct open burning [DOC], [PDF] when permission is required by law. You will find more information below about open burning, your responsibilities, and helpful contact information if you need guidance or clarifications of what the requirements are in your area.
the fire beingso close to the house a burning a permit should have been seeked to see if it was safe.

Don't need a permit to burn brush. Burning structures would require at least a courtesy calm to the local fire dept. Or should everyone be permitted to do whatever they want at anytime? I think not.

WVNonthinker. Ever hear of a toll road? Why don't we charge tolls for locks use? County airport use? Your toll charge for FREE park activity is your local taxes funding the park board. As well as table and shelter fees. Insurance for a messy shirt is call Clorox Stick. But if you can't drink from a sippy cup without spilling well then maybe you could learn to read. He INTENTIONALLY lit the fire. Did he gave a permit? Was HHS fire department notified in advance? What if a fire fighter gets seriously injured? What then? Geez...
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
He should pay as well. The public derives no benefit from his boating, so he should pay for use of public funds. As all private companies and citizens should do.

text: Does anyone have any experience good or bad with the electrochemical gun cleaning kits out there like the Outers Foul Out kits or the like? I've got an old Remington 788 in 22-250 that I got from my old man. It used to remove rabbit heads past 100 yards but now I can't get satisfactory groups with it. I've gone several rounds of cleaning it and I get a ton of copper fouling out each time but the groups have yet to improve. I'm thinking about purchasing one of these kits to get the bore "clean" but at over $100 I'd like to know if they're for real or not.

52 Orionis
Posted 09 November 2012 - 12:56 PM
It was a nice clean split at 163x (12mm UO Ortho 1.6x Barlow), and better split and the "figure 8" diffraction rings at 320x (6mm TMB II) were quite pretty. Both splits showed a clear thin dark line.
Nice double, really. Reminds me much like a smaller Porrima - a couple of headlights way off in the distance. Both seemed pretty much white and close to the same magnitude. Looks to be a good test for 4-6" scopes in good seeing. Not sure of the actual separation, but it's getting close to that of a 6" scope. Maybe a sketch tomorrow.

At anyrate it should be doable. Poor seeing where stars refuse to come to focus could make this problematic to impossible.

I tried this one last night along with some others and I had the same impression as you, a smaller Porrima. I have never observed this double, thanks for pointing it out.
The seeing was very good for a change, about 4/6 most of the time. My best view was at 300X with a 4mm ortho. Very pretty double! A clean split in the 10" dob with a thin black space separating the two equal components.

52 Ori is the top gem in a list of six double/ multiple stars in Orion ,described by Norman Lockyer in his book ,,Stargazing-Past and Present'' published at Macmillan and Co., London, 1878.
I first passed through this sequence with my 125mm F/7 Dobsonian in 2010,right before Christmas:freezing cold,deep snow ,ocasional wind gust, it took me three and half hours to complete the sequence.
I was successful at splitting the first five double/multiple stars but failed on 52 Ori.
Only at the third sequence attempt I was able to split 52 Ori.
Knowing what to expect and where to look,last week I passed through the Lockyer sequence with success in about ten minutes with the same telescope.This time,I splitted 52 Ori at 144x/6mm Radian eyepiece.
I found this Lockyer sequence inspirational and very entertaining:quaint old Kitchener,Admiral Smith and Sir John Herschel were claping my shoulders ,encouraging me to continue,to go till the end.Which I did:52 Ori is one of my Winter trophee,but not all the time!
And I knew from an authoritative source like Norman Lockyer itsef that my telescope ''is by no means to be despised''!
I have an article about the Lockyer Sequence on my blog:
Here is a link to download from ,,archive.org'' the whole book ''Stargazing-Past and Present'' by Norman Lockyer:
Quotes from ''STARGAZING: PAST AND PRESENT'' by J.Norman Lockyer
London. MACMILLAN AND CO. 1878
Book II,CHAP. XII,page 164-166
''The convenient altitude at which Orion culminates in
these latitudes renders it particularly eligible for observation
; and during the first months of the year our
readers who would test their telescopes will do well not
to lose the opportunity of trying the progressively
difficult tests, both of illuminating and separating power,
afforded by its various double and multiple systems,
which are collected together in such a circumscribed
region of the heavens that no extensive movement of
their instruments an important point in extreme cases
will be necessary.
Beginning with DELTA, the upper of the three stars which
form the belt, the two components will be visible in
almost any instrument which may be used for seeing
them, being of the second and seventh magnitudes, and
well separated.
The companion to BETA though of the same
magnitude as that to DELTA , is much more difficult to observe,
in consequence of its proximity to its bright primary,
a first-magnitude star. Quaint old Kitchener, in his
work on telescopes, mentions that the companion to
Rigel has been seen with an object-glass of 2 3/4-inch
aperture ; it should be seen, at all events, with a 3 -inch.
ZETA the bottom star in the belt, is a capital test both of
the dividing and space-penetrating power, as the two
bright stars of the second and sixth magnitudes, of
which the close double is composed, are exactly 2.5" apart,
while there is a companion to one of these components
of the twelfth magnitude about 3/4 seconds distant. The small star below, which the late Admiral Smyth, in his charming book," The Celestial Cycle," mentions as a test for his object-glass of 5*9 inches in diameter, is now plainly to be seen in a 3 3/4 inch. The colours of this pair have been variously stated ; Struve dubbing the sixth magnitude which, by the way, was missed altogether by Sir John Herschel "olivaceasubrubicunda."
That either our modern opticians contrive to admit
more light by means of a superior polish imparted to the
surfaces of the object-glass, or that the stars themselves
are becoming brighter, is again evidenced by the point of
light preceding one of the brightest stars in the system composing SIGMA . This little twinkler is now always to be seen in a 3 3/4-inch, while the same authority we have before quoted -Admiral Smyth -speaks of it as being of very difficult vision in his instrument of much larger dimensions. In this very beautiful compound system there are no less than seven principal stars ; and there are several other faint ones in the field.
The upper veryfaint companion of LAMBDA is a delicate test for a 3 3/4-inch,
which aperture, however, will readily divide the closer
double of the principal stars which are about 5" apart.
These objects, with the exception of ZETA, have been given
more to test the space-penetrating than the dividing
power ; the telescope's action on 52 Orionis will at once
decide this latter quality. This star, just visible to the
naked eye on a fine night, to the right of a line joining
ALPHA and DELTA, is a very close double. The components, of the
sixth magnitude, are separated by less than two seconds
of arc, and the glass which shows a good wide black
division between them, free from all stray light, the
spurious disk being perfectly round, and not too large,
is by no means to be despised.

Thanks for the link to that book. There's a fabulous picture of someone (Mayall?) sitting at the eyepiece end of a huge refractor -- no idea where that was taken, but you can almost hear the creaking of machinery and smell the cold air in the dome. It's page 11 using the page numbers of the .pdf format.
Clear Skies!

Because it's bright, as well as close, air steadiness appears to affect resolving it more than some. I've found I need different magnifications on the same telescope on different nights for this one, depending on the seeing. It's a fine pair when you get a steady view.

If you search for something, you're probably better off to use the search window instead of the Select Category window. Wordpress has made a change in the way those constellation selections come up which doesn't work as well as it used to.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 03:57 PM
I'm glad you are enjoing the book,this is the kind of stuff I like.
The trophee of today is the booklet ''Hints on Reflecting and Refracting Telescopes'' By Horne Thornthwaite,London,1880 ,downloaded from archive.org.
I agree with you.There were apparently quiet nights when not even 236x was able to split 52 Ori.It was the first time to split 52 Ori at 144x.
One thing I intend to do is to dig and find where Kitchener ,Admiral Smith and John Herschel made that statements.
It will be not easy,I had read the book on telescopes of ''old quaint'' Kitchener and don't remember the quote about Rigel.But there are so many informations packed in that small lovely book and being age 58 I noticed my memory is no more what used to be (or at least my wife say so)!
Clear sky to all of you,now I'm going under the stars to try my luck with Eta Ori and 32 Ori.

I hope your spring attendance numbers don't hurt your plans for the star party in the fall. I guess I'm a little gun-shy after the demise of the MASP last year. I really want to do my part to make sure the Staunton River event stays on the calendar for years go come. I've already made some pretty solid plans for the dates in October.
Last year's meeting in the fall was one of the best events I'd ever attended, start to finish (at least for the two nights I spent there...)
Clear skies!
Posted 03 February 2013 - 11:28 AM
We both like to play tennis and I see from the aerial shot of the state park that they've got tennis courts within walking distance of the observing field. Do you know if they'd be open for us to use?
Really looking forward to this event. Thanks,

Food for the star party will start being served at 4:30pm on Thursday and end after breakfast on Sunday. I just wanted to let everyone know. So if you get to the park at noon Thursday, bring a lunch. There is a McDonold and Burger King in South Boston.
The park staff are excited about the return of star party. They say that we are the happiest group they get all year and that they like having us come up. They make that easy.
More info to come.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 10:06 AM
So if you are thinking about coming, you still have a little time.
Posted 01 March 2013 - 02:43 PM
Is wind usually an issue here? We might see a little extra wind thursday night after it all blows out.
Posted 02 March 2013 - 08:34 PM
The park will pull out trailers with their tractor if the need arises. They'll have us pull out our cars and they'll pull the trailor to you.
Right now the forecast is changing by the minute. I'll go nuts if I keep watching it.

I went out to the observing field yesterday, Sunday, and it was in fairly good shape. There are a couple of wet areas but these are the usual spots. All in all the field is in good condition.
Of course it will change tomorrow night into Wednesday but the forcast is calling for the weather to clear out by Wednesday night. With luck, there will be little rain or snow and it will soak in by noon Thursday.
The park does NOT close because of snow. Fallen trees and lose of power will close the park but not snow.
I also wanted to let folks know that there is a swap meet on Saturday morning until noon. So bring your items that you may want to sell or swap.
If any thing changes I will post it here.
Posted 06 March 2013 - 11:22 AM
The star party is still on have no doubt. However, do be careful if you are coming from a snow covered area. The most important thing is that everyone is safe.
The weather has pretty much wiped out our vendors. AstroGizmos is snowed in with 6 to 8 inches of snow and it's still coming. Hands on optics wasn't going to come do to a miss understanding but Gary probably couldn't make either.
Sorry folks.
I just wanted to let you know.
The park says they are getting some snow, but it's not sticking. At least it wasn't at 10am. The park is ready for us to show up.
I'll see you either tomorrow or in the next few days.

By Howard Schneider
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A quarter of U.S. families feel they are under economic stress as the aftershock of the Great Recession continues to drag down living standards and prompt consumers to hold off on major purchases and life decisions, according to a new Federal Reserve report released on Thursday.
The Fed commissioned its first large-scale online survey of household finances last year to try to better understand the forces shaping consumer behavior – the risks families feel they face and their perceptions of how they are doing economically.
More than 60 percent of the 4,100 respondents polled nationally last fall said they were either "doing okay" or "living comfortably," a solid majority, according to the survey.
But it also uncovered lingering effects of the sharpest economic downturn since the Great Depression.
The findings may help explain the choppy pace of recovery in areas like consumer spending, as well as the slow rebound in the housing market: 42 percent of respondents reported delaying major purchases because of the recession, and 18 percent delayed "what they considered to be a major life decision."
The slow pace of new household formation has been one of the factors thought to be behind the slow housing recovery.
On a broader level, a third of the respondents said they were "somewhat worse off or much worse off financially than they had been five years ago," an indication of the scope of the 2007-2009 economic crisis and recession in the United States.
More than half of those surveyed said they had dipped into their savings as a result of the recession, and more than a third reported "going without some form of medical care" for financial reasons.
The Fed monitors less tangible indicators like consumer confidence to help inform its policy debates. Its Survey of Household Economics and Decision Making was meant to deepen the central bank's understanding of how households perceived their financial situation.
"Large-scale financial strain at the household level ultimately fed into broader economic challenges for the country, and the completion of the national recovery will ultimately be, in part, a reflection of the well-being of households and consumers," the Fed wrote in an executive summary of the findings.
"Because households' finances can change at a rapid pace and new opportunities and risks may emerge, such recovery can be complex to monitor."
Overall, the Fed concluded there was "overall reason for optimism," with so many families feeling they are doing okay and large numbers expecting progress in the form of things like rising home prices in the future.
However, "economic challenges remain for a significant portion of the population," according to the survey, which was designed by Fed staff and conducted by online research firm GfK.
A follow-up survey is planned for this year.

What the MCPB Mission Means to Me
To me, where our Mission Statement says that MCPB "reflects the rich diversity of the county" and "the station seeks to foster communication among all groups in the county and makes access available to all points of view," it means that we, as a station, do not take sides.
Working toward this does not find favor with some factions of the membership.
But I believe that we are stronger when we are independent of faction.
I hope you agree. And if you do, I hope you will stand up for it.

Lossy Circular Waveguide
Application ID: 1418
In mode analysis it is usually the primary goal to find a propagation constant. This quantity is often, but not always, real valued; if the analysis involves some lossy part, such as a nonzero conductivity or an open boundary, the eigenvalue is complex. In such situations, the real and imaginary parts have separate interpretations:
- The real part is the propagation constant
- The imaginary part is the attenuation constant, measuring the damping in space
This tutorial shows how to set up a mode analysis with lossy metallic walls for a waveguide. The attenuation in dB per km is extracted for several modes.

Thanks for posting this, DJ! I've always wondered how to go about making mountains in this style, and never had a clue. This makes it look doable even for the artistically challenged like me. Consider thyself repped
heya, I did a quick step-by-step how I usually draw 3d-ish maps. Been wanting to do some tuts on handdrawn stuff for some time but I'm terrible at making tuts and I usually just scribble along. I had to take a break from my work and did a 30mins picture-sequence and dropped that in a jpg (hope you can read my handwriting . If people are interested, I may do a more elaborate one (with some more hints/tips and coloring and stuff), but I'm not sure if this kinda step-by-step description is usefull at all for people to learn how to draw these kind of maps. So let me know what you think ... of course, in the end its all practise practise... cheers!

That's Kickin, Dj! And for my two cents worth, a tutorial is a tutorial, regardless of the presentation. I think this works just great for the hand-drawn look, especially given the fact that it is, well, hand-drawn.
When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.
thank you very much! rep'd

Dry Lakes Racing HistoryWritten by on May 1, 2009 Contributors: Leslie Long Before-The-War Racing On Southern California's Dry Lakes
Southern California's dry lake beds have attracted racers since the turn of the 20th century, but things really exploded in the Thirties. More than 70 years later, hot rodders are still fascinated by this period and this place. Luckily, a lot of the racers are still going strong.
Leslie Long was at Muroc, Harper, Rosamond, and El Mirage back then and for the past several years has been collecting photos and information from those days, and is dedicated to seeing this history kept alive and told right. The amount of info Leslie has in his memory and on paper is staggering, and his photo collection, contributed by dozens of racers, is equally amazing. I had several long meetings with him, and a few more with his friends, Ed Iskenderian and John Athan. The stories these guys tell would fill a very long book. For the sake of a short article, we focused on the activity of the SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) prior to World War II, when the hobby we call hot rodding (they didn't) was just getting rolling.
Lakes racing was the result of several things happening at the same time. Young car owners were meeting each other, organizing into clubs, and racing. According to Leslie, George Wight, eventually the owner of Bell Auto Parts, began encouraging racers from L.A. and Orange County to run their cars at the Muroc dry lake, which was good for business. Because of its size, Muroc was the earliest popular site (it was eventually taken over when the military established Edwards Air Force Base there), followed by Harper, Rosamond, and later El Mirage.
The racing got popular fast, but with few established rules, accidents and injuries were common, and the police threatened to shut things down. The SCTA, established in 1937, was the result of several clubs cooperating in the interest of organization and safety. In those days, most of the cars running at the lakes were street cars that had been driven there. At the lakes, off came the headlights, windshields, sometimes shocks, anything to reduce weight. Some racers went to extremes, notably the famous Dick Kraft, who pulled off the body, sat on a board over the rearend, and even raced in a bathing suit. It was common for racers to swap carbs and run alcohol from a small tank through large lines.
The Ford Model A and B four-cylinders were the most accessible engines. Two- and four-port overhead conversions were common, and the SCTA Racing News identified cars by their heads: Winfield, Riley, Cragar, and others. It's not surprising that four-bangers typically beat the relatively new V-8 Flatheads, considering the amount of speed equipment that existed for them.
Two-at-a-time drag racing hadn't been established yet. Cars ran singly to qualify for classes, which were based on speed, and all the cars from each class would line up for the final races--sometimes it was as many as a dozen running side by side. Later, they established a four-car limit.
The SCTA quickly established more specific classes. Before the war, cars raced in Roadster, Modified, or Streamliner classes, although Leslie remembers that the distinctions were blurry at times. In later years, classes were based onthings like engine size and superchargers--it was a lot simpler in the early years. It was a time of experimenting and fabricating and, as Ed Iskenderian recalls, "It was just fun. Everyone had their own ideas, and you'd learn from the other guys--what they'd done. That's how you figured out what you might want to put together."
SCTA Racing News, August 10, 1947
We're not hot rods. Members of the SCTA, long irked at the attachment of the ignoble hot rods to their sport have resolved to try to discourage use of the name. To the general public, anything minus fenders appearing loud and flashy, or even the old man's sedan, if driven by a teenager, is classified as a hot rod. Much unfavorable publicity has been reflected upon us, due to the antics of irresponsible youngsters and some oldsters who still like to "make like Indianapolis" on the public streets. Our problem is not so much in controlling our members, but rather in distinguishing our cars and our activities from the HRs. So--we're running Sports Cars! (Or anything but hot rods)!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Bill Warth, who drove this streamliner with a Winfield four-banger, was instrumental in getting racers to Harper when the military kicked them out of Muroc. Warth went 132 mph at Rosamond in 1939 and eventually sold the streamliner to Stu Hilborn, minus the engine. After Stu dropped in a fuel-injected V-8, it reportedly became the first car to run 150 mph, at El Mirage.Finished around 1939 after four years in progress, this completely custom-built roadster must've turned heads at the time. It was owned by Eugene Von Arx of the Bungholers, whose father worked for a coach builder and helped put together the body. Les told us it originally ran an Olds, swapped for a Flathead V-8 with Riley OHV heads.Arnold Birner was a neighbor of John Athan and owned a modified in the early Forties and a belly tank after the war. He was photographed at Harper with this Riley four-port roadster that came before either of them. When the war ended, Arnold started working as a pattern maker for Ed Donovan, who continued to build four-bangers. The stylized AJB symbol found on Donovan blocks represents Birner's initials.Look closely at the engine in Clint Seccombe's roadster and you'll see the V-16 engine is punching right through the firewall. Seccombe, a member of the Throttlers, raced in the Roadster class. His V-16 was much bigger (and much faster) than the Flathead V-8s and four-bangers; the car went 125 at Harper in 1940. Prior to the war, classes were determined by body (Roadster, Modified, Streamliner) and you could run whatever you wanted. After the war, separate A, B, and C classes were established to help level the field. Iskenderian remembers breaking an axle at Muroc one time and getting towed home by the Cadillac.George Temple was a member of the Road Runners and raced at Harper Dry Lake, hare and hound meets, and, rumor has it, on the street. Leslie remembers him heading south to Orange County to race Dick Kraft, one of the best-known racers at the lakes and in early drag racing. George's sister, Shirley, was a star on the movie screen.Long before it became one of the most famous and enduring hot rods of all time, Ed Iskenderian's roadster was John Athan's roadster. Here it is with the Rajo motor, riding on Essex 'rails. Ed cut off the front horns and added a Flathead and eventually a pair of Maxi F heads. They were still teenagers when John sold the '24 T to Ed for $25 (we've heard lower numbers, but got that one from Isky himself). It eventually made the cover of Hot Rod's sixth issue in June 1948 and is now in the Wally Parks NHRA Museum. Ed and John remain close friends to this day.One of the most famous and possibly the first enclosed streamliner belonged to Albata member Ralph Schenck. The car was probably inspired by the Golden Submarine from years before and was built from aluminum by Joaquin "Joe" Grosso. It ran 118 mph on its first trip to Harper's in 1940. The Chevy four-cylinder had a 1918 Chevy cam, a Ford Model B crank, and a three-port Olds head. The body was discarded by a later owner, but the car is currently being restored.After tilting up the T so that they could pour lead in the exhaust ports to seal them up (before bolting on the overhead exhaust), Ed and friends couldn't resist a little clowning around. The victims are generally identified as Ed and John Athan, but Ed says it could be his brother Luther and his friend Herman doing the posing.
Ed Iskenderian retained the Essex frame, but Z'd the rear rails and added a '32 rearend. Then he took it across the alley to an apartment house and got it on film.The SCTA Racing News is full of items about Orville "Snuffy" Welchel (his name is sometimes listed as Welcher). Snuffy and Polly (note the sign on the cowl) were members in the Road Runners and raced in the Modified class running a Riley two-port.Eugene Von Arx, the guy with the custom-bodied V-8 roadster, raced this Olds 8-powered modified, which went 112 at Harper in 1940. According to Leslie, there was always discrepancy about how the classes were divided, and Modified was gone in the years after the war.The Spalding brothers, Tom and Bill, were pioneer racers and built one of the first streamliner-style cars, but had better luck with this modified with a Riley overhead V-8 and a blower. They also owned a successful speed shop. Their ignitions were extremely popular among the lakes racers (along with Potvins).The owner was named George Rubsch, whose dad owned A1 Auto Body in L.A. The streamliner was nicknamed Skip It and featured a Cragar Model B under the hood and what must be one of the first flame paintjobs on the outside. "He had the prettiest finished car of all the bunch," Isky recalls.The number 44 Model A with a two-port Riley was owned by Bob Snook of the Road Runners and raced at Muroc. Leslie explained that, in the early days, numbers were assigned at each race. After the war, each club was assigned a batch of numbers. If you were familiar with the system, you could identify the club by the numbers. Number 1 and eventually 1-16 were saved for the fastest cars, regardless of club.In the beginning, all qualified racers in a class could line up and go--none of that time-consuming round-by-round elimination stuff. Eventually, they limited it to four cars at a time; in this case it looks like Vic Edelbrock, Tom Spalding, Binks McLean, and Clint Seccombe. Les remembers Clint winning that day.SCTA newsletters
Ten years before Hot Rod magazine and 50 years before the World Wide Web, Southern California hot rodders connected via the SCTA Racing News. Harry Cameron was the first editor in 1938. Road Runners president Wally Parks took over with the third issue. This was the place for finding out what was going on, who was building what, what the clubs were up to, points and records, rule updates (and debates), and for classified ads, personal announcements, and editorials by Wally.
Leslie remembers that Harry Hess was driving a '34 at the lakes, but thinks that this is the V-8-powered '33/34 hybrid driven by Bub Meyer.Ten years before he was the editor of Hot Rod, Wally Parks was president of the Road Runners and editor of the SCTA Racing News (starting with the third issue). Lakes racer Robert Stack was getting started in TV and movie acting, and on the verge of getting a bath from Wally.Eldon Snapp's '29, equipped with a Winfield head, manifold, and carburetor, ran at Harper and at Rosamond. In addition to racing, Eldon was the art editor of the SCTA Racing News, illustrating most of the covers, lettering the logo and cover blurbs, and even drawing advertisements.The only information we have on this car came from a handwritten note identifying it as Roy Schellhous' "85" midget, maybe a reference to an 85hp Flathead. Leslie Long remembers that Roy had numerous cars and trucks, but didn't remember this specific one.At one time, the Cragar Model B in Bud Hinds' '29 RPU had a chrome-plated block. According to Isky, Hinds is indirectly responsible for the name of the Bungholers club. "Bud lived by the pass through Hollywood. Anybody going to Muroc would have to go that way, so we'd hang around there before going to the races. His dad would say, `You guys are a bunch of a**holes.' Instead of calling themselves the A**holes, they decided to call the club the Bungholers."The long hood does more than advertise tickets to the Gear Grinders' dance, it's covering a V-16. The Gear Grinders club, from Bell in Los Angeles County, joined the SCTA in 1940. One member, Robert Binyon, raced this roadster at Muroc. Bob is also known for crashing, then helping to rebuild, the famous Bob McGee '32 roadster.
