I love the term "arsenic hour". We have that hour here too, lol. I've been thinking of planning some sensory-type activities for my son to keep him busy (out of my hair) while I'm making dinner and finishing things up. I'll definitely be adding this to my list!

I recently made something similar. I found the smaller 1 quart bag better than the big one gallon bag. Also the directions I used for called for hair gel. I didn't have hair gel so I used hand sanitzer and it worked wonderfully.

KLEM Local Schedule (week of July 8)
MONDAY RESULTS - July 8
(high school softball)
(#1-4A) Le Mars 11, Spencer 0 -- 5 innings (RECORD: 30-and-0 / 13-and-0)
(LE MARS) --Molly Renken swatted a three-run homer and recorded her 18th shutout of the season on a two-hitter to lead top-rated Le Mars to an 11-0, five-inning Lakes Conference softball victory over Spencer Monday night at the Bulldog Sports Complex. Le Mars finished the regular season at 30-and-0 and finished 13-and-0 in the Lakes Conference. Renken, who walked one and struck out eight, ran her season pitching mark to 24-and-0. Her home run in the second inning capped a six-run inning. Mary Kate Eckstaine had a two-run double just before Renken's towering shot landed beyond the right-center field fence. Eckstaine also had a pair of RBI singles and finished 3-for-3 with four RBI's. Janessa Milbrodt also went 3-for-3 and drove in two runs. Both Spencer hits came in the first inning. Renken then retired 13 of the next 14 batters. Le Mars will host the winner of the Thursday night's Spencer/Humboldt 4A Regional game on Saturday night in the Regional semifinals.
(LE MARS) -- River Valley took advantage of seven errors and ten walks to beat Gehlen Catholic 11-1 in five innings Monday night in the Class 1A Regionals at the Riverview Complex. Abby Freking delivered a two-out RBI single in the first inning to put the Lady Jays in front 1-0. But the highlights were few and far between after that. The Wolverines scored three runs in the second on four walks and a pair of hits to go in front to stay. An eleven-batter, five-run third inning put River Valley in charge at 8-1 and they won it in the bottom of the fifth with three more runs thanks to three more errors and a pair of walks. Eighth-grader Makenna Thomas checked Gehlen on four hits with no walks and the Wolverines played errorless softball behind her. Jill Kessenich and Brittany Krienert split the pitching chores for Gehlen, allowing five hits but walking ten batters and hitting another. Gehlen finishes the season at 11-and-18 while River Valley takes a 6-and-17 record to play top-rated Akron-Westfield in Akron on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.

(LE MARS) -- The Le Mars Bulldogs nailed down their third straight Lakes Conference baseball title Monday night, beating Spencer 12-2 in five innings at the Bulldogs Sports Complex. Jacob Lamoreux led the way, tossing a five-hitter with four walks and four strike outs and had a double and triple at the plate to drive in three runs. Colan Borchers, Dayton Rand and Matt Ellefson also had two hits each to pace a twelve-hit Le Mars offensive attack. The Bulldogs scored four runs in the first, the fourth and the fifth innings and won the game on the ten-run rule. Number-five Le Mars improves to 21-and-4 for the season and 12-and-1 in the Lakes Conference.
(LE MARS) -- Mitchell Flack took a no-hitter into the seventh inning Monday night before teaming up with Michael Whitehead on a two-hitter as Gehlen Catholic won their fifth straight, 5-2, over Marcus/Meriden-Cleghorn at the Riverview Complex. Jared Gross led off the seventh inning with a bloop single to left to spoil the no-hit bid by Flack and then scored on a double to right-center by Tanner Utesch. Utesch scored a second run on a wild pitch. Whitehead then came on in relief and struck out two of the three batters he faced to halt the rally, earning a save. The Eagles had runners on second and third when a Whitehead strikeout ended the contest. Flack struck out six while walking one in his 6 1/3 innings of work to run his record to 6-and-0. Blake Wiltgen broke up a scoreless tie with a fourth inning RBI single and then scored a second run on a RBI single by Flack. Solomon Freking made it 4-0 with a two-run hit in the fifth and Freking scored on Ty Kurth's squeeze bunt for a 5-0 lead heading into the final two innings. Gehlen improves to 11-and-11 for the season and 9-and-9 in the W-E-C. M-M-C, which started the night in second place behind Hinton in the War Eagle Conference race, fell to 16-and-7 with a 12-and-6 conference mark.

(#3-3A) Le Mars 20, Emmetsburg 10 (RECORD: 22-and-4 / 13-and-1)
(REMSEN) -- Remsen St. Mary's broke away from a 1-all tie with an eight-run fourth inning Tuesday night and went on to beat Gehlen Catholic 9-4 in War Eagle Conference baseball action in Remsen. The Hawks capitalized on five walks and an error to turn a pitcher's duel into a one-sided affair. Three consecutive walks were followed by RBI singles by Andrew Pottebaum and Jerimiah Lewis. Nate Roder then delivered a two-run double. A Gehlen error sent another run across the plate and a bases-loaded walk and a wild pitch completed the fourth inning blitz. Mitchell Flack drove in a pair of runs for Gehlen in the final two innings but the 9-1 deficit was too much to overcome. Flack finished with three hits and three RBI's for the Jays. Matt Wesselmann threw a complete game for the Hawks, scattering nine hits and walking two while striking out eleven to improve to 6-and-2 for the season. Andrew Pottebaum led Remsen St. Mary's six-hit attack with two hits. Blake Wiltgen and Austin Herbst combined to walk seven and both hit a batter for Gehlen. Wiltgen took the loss to fall to 1-and-7. The loss also halted Gehlen's five-winning streak as they closed the regular season at 11-and-12 and finished 9-and-10 in the War Eagle Conference. Remsen St. Mary's improves to 19-and-8 for the season and 12-and-6 in the W-E-C with two regular season games to play. Gehlen plays their District tournament opener next Tuesday against Harris-Lake Park at the Riverview Complex.
(LE MARS) --The Le Mars Bulldogs erupted for 13 runs in the third inning and went on to beat Emmetsburg 20-10 in six innings Tuesday night at the Bulldog Sports Complex in the final Lakes Conference baseball game of the 2013 season. Andy Hefner's three hits and four RBI's led a 15-hit attack for Le Mars. Parker Rolfes, Jacob Lamoreux, Kendall Candor, Colan Borchers and Dayton Rand had two hits each. The Bulldogs had six extra base hits in the game, including a home run by Mitch Timp. Tyler DeVos and Hunter Rowe split the pitching chores, giving up a combined nine hits and walking seven. Le Mars improves to 22-and-4 for the season and 13-and-1 in the conference.

(LE MARS) -- Unrated Humboldt took advantage of four errors in the first two innings by top-rated Le Mars to score three runs and then held off a late rally to upset the Lady Bulldogs 3-2 in 4A Regional softball action Saturday night at the Bulldog Sports Complex in Le Mars. The loss brought a crushing end to an unbeaten season and left Le Mars still searching for that elusive first-ever State Tournament trip in softball. Eighth-grader Avery Terwilliger wriggled out of jam after jam Saturday night to pitch the Wildcats into the Regional finals Tuesday in Le Mars. The Lady Bulldogs left runners at second and third in the second inning and stranded a runner at second base in the fifth. Le Mars finally broke through for a run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly by Mary Kate Eckstaine but stranded another base runner at third base. Kylee Lang cut the 3-1 deficit to 3-2 in the seventh with a one-out single to left, scoring Emily Pick from second base after she opened the seventh with double off the top of the center field fence. Lang advanced to second on a wild pitch giving Le Mars a glimmer of hope. But fly ball outs by Ashley Phelan and Holly Schneider ended the game and the season with the potential tying run stranded on second base. Molly Renken suffered her first loss in the pitching circle after going 24-and-0 in the regular season. She allowed two hits in the first two innings and three unearned runs. After Avery Termilliger's two-run double in the second made it 3-0, Renken then settled down and retired the final 17 batters of the game, striking out five. Le Mars finishes the season at 30-and-1.

10 News Short Yellow Investigation
SOUTH PASADENA, Florida - Backtracking on comments critical of 10 News' coverage of short yellow lights at red light camera intersections, the South Pasadena City Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to ask the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for longer yellow lights.
The tiny city covers just 0.6 square miles in Pinellas County's southwestern corner, but doled out about $2 million in red light camera (RLC) fines last year from four intersections along Pasadena Ave.
However, the numbers could be inflated due in part to yellow light times that are calculated using posted speed limit, instead of drivers' actual speed, which tends to be higher.
Numerous federal studies discourage the use of posted speed limit in yellow light calculations, and a recent report from the National Cooperative Highway Research Panal (page 11 of this PDF) suggests using posted speed limit plus 7 mph or more, which along Pasadena Avenue, would add at least half a second to the yellow light times, currently set to FDOT's minimums.
Other federal standards suggest up to another half-second for areas with lots of older drivers or truck drivers. Short yellow lights can cause more panicked decisions, which can cause more accidents and more RLC citations.
South Pasadena City Commissioners penned a letter requesting from county and state engineers the "highest yellow light time interval allowed by law."
FDOT tells 10 News "requests to use a Yellow Change Interval value not determined by (the posted speed limit) will require a traffic engineering justification, from a Florida P.E., that provides the reason for the request."
South Pasadena commissioners may need a little help from Pinellas County to extend its lights out; the city is so small, it relies on county traffic engineers to maintain its lights. That's why city commissioners requested county engineer Ken Jacobs assist in their request for longer yellow lights.
If Jacobs makes the request on behalf of the city, FDOT has indicated it would approve the "posted speed +7 mph" request -- or potentially greater, depending on which engineering study or rationales were cited.
FDOT also announced a statewide re-timing requirement for all short yellow lights following 10 News' investigation. The state will add 0.4 seconds to all yellow light minimums to better accommodate the state's older driving population.

KIDWELL - There is an air of confidence and excitement surrounding the Tyler Consolidated girls' basketball program as Coach Matt Kinnard welcomes back all five starters from a team that jelled together well last season and gave some pretty good teams fits.
Kinnard believes that his top seven players gives the Silver Knights the ability to play with just about anyone, and while he is not a huge fan of the new sectional setup in Class A, where Tyler will be playing for the first time, he believes his schedule will have his girls ready to make a serious run in March.
The five returning starters scored 55 points a night last season, led by Sophia Kinnard, the coach's daughter and one of the finest all-around players in the Ohio Valley. Sophia Kinnard had nightly performances of 15 points, 11 rebounds, three steals, three assists and two blocked shots a season ago and only looks to improve her game during her junior campaign.
She is joined in the starting five by the Knights' leading scorer, Torrye Cline, a 5-foot-7 senior guard who dropped in nearly 15 points a night last year and 5-9 senior forward Allison Wable, who added 11. Juniors Sydney Reed (5-9, guard), the team's 3-point specialist, and Hilary Casteel (5-7, guard) round out the starting lineup.
Megan Carpenter, a 5-9 junior, rejoins the roster after playing as a freshman but sitting out last year and will be first off the bench along with senior Lauren Seckman (5-9) and 5-8 sophomore forward Sydney Yoho, who Matt Kinnard calls much improved and more aggressive. Sophomore center Breanna Yeater (5-10) is also available.
"This group of juniors has been together since the second grade and they know each other and play so well together," Matt Kinnard said. "And while Megan Carpenter sat out a year, she is making up time quickly and getting back into a groove with the other girls.
"My big thing is continuity offense. I don't have a ton of plays, I just like to let the game flow, keep it simple and let the girls get creative. They know each other well enough to do that. We also have a bunch of good freshmen, some of which will probably be moving up from jayvee during the season.
"I felt like we had a good season last year, and the game we lost to Ravenswood at tournament time, we were two points, one foul, two free throws, one turnover and one steal away from a trip to the state tournament. Sydney Reed comes out and hits three quick 3s and we are rolling. Then all of a sudden she gets her eye split open and everything just kind of fell apart for us.
"I can tell you that I am not a huge fan of how the sectional is set up. We have to pass schools that aren't in our section to travel to some other schools that are. But this group of girls are ready to battle and we will go to and play wherever they want to send us.
"There are six teams in our sectional in Class A after having four in Class AA, so in terms of playing more games it is more difficult, but I always like to tell the girls that regular season games are just tune-ups for the tournament and where you want to be playing your best basketball.
"We still play a lot of Class AA schools and the girls are just coming down from advancing to the state volleyball tournament, so we have work to do, but there is so much excitement. The girls all worked hard in the summer and they are very anxious and hungry right now. We are also doing things a little different in that we instituted a weight lifting fitness program to get a little more physical and quicker."

REALLY?....terrorists may change tactics.....you mean they won't use conventional means of war to attack their targets? You mean they may not organize and communicate their intentions? Hmmm...isn't that pretty much the definition of terrorists?
Has anything really changed by this brave man alerting the people of America of how their basic right of privacy no longer exists...and this right has been compromised by our own government?...
We have used our defense quite atrociously and offensively...instead of protecting and securing our own borders, land, and people...as meant to be, and now we are our own target of interest.
Get back to basics. It's really very simple.

We want to blame the whistleblower and for sure the NSA stuff has a downside, but really the danger to us is that we simply don't trust Obama anymore. Obama and Dems want to isolate the NSA leaks so we think only about that and they want to use scare tactics to make us accept the phone info collection. But only a dummy would do that. When you consider the misuse of IRS for political punishment, and the tapping of reporter's phones to learn if anyone is leaking Obama information to them, and lies of Benghazi (sorry they lied) and then you consider that Obama altered the Patriot Act to turn it inward instead of just at terrorists...well then you have a situation where people simply do not trust Obama anymore. He is a phony and liar as many havee always suspected. The IRS scandal alone is more than enough to impeach him and he is still lying about that. Who me? I know nothing. We sent Nixon packing for much, much less than using the IRS to punish people and free speech. Much less!

Abbe Dawes and Sparrow
Posted 19 November 2012 - 08:02 PM
It seems anyway like a more definitive limit than Dawes emperical *notch* values but it doesn't seem to have much practice among amatuers.
Anyone know?
Another question I've got is with sparrows limit or non limit as it were. When you really consider it the sparrow limit is arbitrary. Since both light curves of a doublestar diffraction patterns culminate in peaks at the center of the airydisc one pattern would need to be literally overlaying the other in order to fulfill the definition in that that peakswhere merged do not result in a dip in brightness.

Observing 72 Pegasi at below the Sparrow limit, much to my surprise on your suggestion it might be doable, elongation (not resolution) was visible. If two stars show elongation, then their peaks do not coincide and contrast should exist. Of course, 72 Pegasi is not a pair of equal brightness, but it's close. The primary's brighter spurious disc overwhelmed the companion's, so the latter had little chance to provide some contrast to the companion's disc - other than it being dimmer over all.
I think, anyway. But maybe the light from each disc adds to the overall brightness? If so, 72 Peg's companion side of it's airy disc should have been brighter...with the peak shifted from the primary's central airy disc to some point overlapping the companion's disc. But, graphs of Airy discs do not show that behavior.
I dunno, Maybe Sparrow really is not zero contrast at zero separation. But contrast is so very low, while the measure still provides something above zero so line pairs can still be calculated (at something less than diving by zero and an infinite result.)
Dang, Pete, now you got me thinking about that.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:27 AM
Move them closer to the Dawes limit, and the overlapping dark space contrast decreases further to the eye's limit of 5%. The space between the point sources brightens. Move them closer to the Sparrow limit, same thing happens. The total light in (what would normally be) the dark space increases to the same brightness as the center of the point source itself. Contrast falls to zero at this separation. So, Sparrow is not arbitrary, other than using a standard brightness to calculate it.
Right? So, because the light from each point source does appear to add together, the dark space can brighten to 100% (and contrast to zero) before the point sources become coincident. So, Sparrow will fall to zero contrast a bit before the point sources are on top of one another and there will be some measurable angular separation (hence observable elongation.)
I am not sure what contrast can be expected for Abbe, obviously between 5% (Dawes) and zero (Sparrow) for two 6th mag stars. Since Abbe is non zero, and contrast is resolution, then Abbe can safely be said to be the floor on resolution...if you can actually see the contrast differential like the Dawes limit. You may not see it, but the focal plane can certainly present contrast at the Abbe limit. It stops doing so at Sparrow.
I use Sparrow when thinking MTF because Sparrow IS zero contrast at that spacial frequency (normalized to 1 for a given aperture.)

I think some of the puzzling comes from trying to deal with visibly non-resolved images of points (stars) that are nevertheless visibly not circular. The Sparrow limit describes the point at which two diffraction discs present an oval or extended appearance without a noticeable dip in brightness between them. There's really no problem over the concept of an oval of uniform brightness that isn't circular (because it's oval).
Asbytec's suggestion that "contrast is resolution" is not true as a generalization. You can "resolve" an oval shape without resolving the components that make it up. And we can get into a detailed (too detailed) discussion of aspects of that.
I'd suggest, for thinking about double stars that can be observed in various forms of sub-resolution, while still obviously not being single, that a useful study is Paul Couteau's chapter on "Optical Concepts Useful to Double-Star Observers" in his book Observing Visual Double Stars. It includes a particularly good section on "Image Structure of a Close Double Star". There's also a table of image appearance/elongation at various fractions of the size of the Airy disk.
A follow-up can be reading Christopher Taylor's section on the appearance of resolved/elongated double stars in his chapter in Bob Argyle's book Observing and Measuring Visual Double Stars (1st or the new 2nd edition).

This is true with 72 Pegasi at 0.5" arc in my 6". And because the companion was slightly dimmer (changing the equation) I could resolve it in the pure sense of seeing a contrast difference. One Airy disc was brighter than the other, that could be seen (actually without much difficulty.) But no contrast could be seen (visually, anyway) in the space where the spurious discs overlap, the primary's disc dominated and appeared equally bright best I could tell. The dimmer companion occupied a tiny bit of space beyond the primary's spurious disc and showed some contrast.
In the pure sense, contrast is resolution and resolution is contrast. If you had two small pieces of paper nearly equally grey, held them close and could not tell them apart, they are not resolved from one another, nor from nearly equally grey surroundings. All Airy discs visible in an aperture are resolved from the dark of space - only at night, of course - even if two are very close together.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 07:09 AM
If that's the case then a revised profile more in line with the eyes response might be in order.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:13 AM
Apparently there is some discrepancy about where Sparrow's limit really is, half the Raleigh limit? Maybe the CO and color play a role at these scales. I'm sticking with the credible sources stating 107/Dmm.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 06:56 PM
I've got two diagonals. One is a Televue 1.25" diagnal with typical reflective coatings bought the year Hale Bopp blew through. The other is a typical Chinese diagonal that came with my C6 some 8 months ago.
One has easily more light throughput than the other. Which wins? Thick prism or old reflective mirror diagonal?
Posted 20 November 2012 - 07:20 PM
Likewise, you can print a photo that has a particular resolution level at differing contrast levels. The detail in it doesn't change, though it will look different according to the contrast level.
Dick Suiter has some useful comments on resolution of double stars in Appendix A3 of the 2nd edition of his Star Testing book. Re the Sparrow criterion: "defined as that separation which results in a flat isthmus between the stars. The Sparrow criterion is adjusted for obstructed and aberrated apertures until it always gives that flat region between the stars. Thus, it is always uniquely defined and always delivers the same behavior, but its exact separation varies with details of the aperture". In other words, you can define a particular number for the Sparrow criterion based on perfect optics, but that won't tell you what your imperfect optics will give.
He mentions that for unobstructed apertures (presumably un-aberrated as well) the Sparrow criterion is about 92% of Dawes' criterion or about 77% of Rayleigh's separation. (pages 317-318).
And with regard to exceeding the Sparrow criterion, which Suiter acknowledges some double-star observers have done, "Stars are point objects... Points can be resolved by using the oval shape of the image as the only discriminator". In that sentence "resolved" doesn't mean "separated", rather something closer to "discerned".
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:24 PM
Fred, well said. Resolution requires contrast. I can buy that. And your discussion on Sparrow makes sense, the complexities beyond the simple rule to determine it are dawning on me.

Round. Elongated. Notched (aka 'peanut' or 'figure 8'). Black sky split. These should be all anyone needs. These 'limits' - Dawes, Sparrow, Rayleigh, Lord - are, for lack of a better term, limiting. And all of them are so full of asterisks - a whole bunch of "it depends". Will someone chose not to observe a pair because it lies below an arbitrary limit? I hope not. Pour on the X's and enjoy.
I generally go with "Unresolved", "Elongated" (no notching), "Resolved" (clear notching, but spurious disk overlap with no dark sky between the disks), and "Split" (fully resolved with at least a thin lane of dark sky visible). Dawes limit can be a useful thing to get a very rough idea of what doubles might be worth looking at in a given aperture, but much beyond that, all one needs to do is to actually observe the double and see if its duplicity can be detected. Clear skies to you.

Will someone chose not to observe a pair because it lies below an arbitrary limit?
Point well taken, until Pete urged me to break the Sparrow limit, I never would have succeeded in "discerning" 72 Pegasi as a double. Probably would have written it off as more appropriate for a 10" scope. It's combined spurious discs were clearly elongated at 0.5" arc, and even more easily noticeable in the elongated diffraction ring.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:24 AM
Pete, lets say that Sparrow indeed has a flat contrast between two points of 6th mag. What would happen if you lowered the magnitude to the limit of the aperture. Surely the point sources would become dim and small, the suspicious discs would decrease in radius. Would that lack of contrast between them persist? Seems it should, but probably not. So there should be some dark space and resolution as two distinct points. Right?
Okay, if so, then we should be able to move those very faint and tiny point sources closer together until contrast between them again falls off to zero. At the limiting magnitude of an aperture, that would seem to be the real limiting resolution.
Now, to see a dim star, of course it has to contrast against the blackness of space. So, lets say that contrast is consistent with what the average eye can detect at about 5%. I don't know the magnitude that would correspond to off hand, so let's guess it means we can see the top 5% of the Airy intensity. I am trying to tie this in with the Airy disc and the size of the spurious disc (the percentage of light seen at a given magnitude.)
A bright star puts about 85% of it's light into the spurious disc, a 6th magnitude star about 50 to 60% - meaning the spurious disc is about half the Airy disc radius. Following that logic, 5% of the light would be seen in the spurious disc of our dimmest star. This would give a very dim star's radius for a 150mm aperture of (0.92" * 0.05 = 0.046" arc.)
Nudging these two dim point sources together so their discs just touched leaving zero contrast (any dimmer and neither the disc nor the dark space could be seen) would yield a separation of 0.092" arc. Interestingly, that is about 1/10th the Raleigh limit. (Not sure if that would apply across all apertures, maybe.)
Okay, now for the fun part. A separation of 0.092" arc yields a frequency of ~ 10.9 line pairs per arc second. At this frequency, you could squeeze nearly 11 of these double stars into an arc second equating to (60 * 10.9 = 652) line pairs/arc min on the focal plane with 5% contrast (and 100% target contrast.)
There is no way the eye can resolve this frequency, so you have to magnify it to reduce the frequency. If you magnified it 652x (~110x per inch) you would have one line pair per apparent arc minute - about the resolution of the eye. At that angular size, you should be able to see one line pair with normal 20/20 vision.
So, how crazy is that? I kind of like it, actually. Needs refinement.
There are other variables when discussing human intervention, and also properties of the optical train including CO and light loss, etc. We could incorporate Suiter's EER concept which includes the obstruction effects. Maybe later. Except for the 5% contrast level and assuming 20/20 vision, the rest have been conveniently ignored and just working from the spurious disc the human eye might be able to see. Terms like dark space and resolution kind of imply the existence of an observer to even notice it.
If no one has thought of it before, I would hereby dub this limit (including further revisions to theory) the Azure Limit, in honor of the guy's online avatar who inspired it.

I think in seeking out the dimming between what might appear to be a Sparrow double would be an interesting exercise. I think the potential fly in the ointment ( or pattern as it were) is that while these dimmer diffraction patterns have a smaller apparent spurious disc the eyes sensitivety at these lower levels becomes grainy to even peripheral vision needy. A 3" double at 11.5v for example is actually kinda difficult. Totally doable but it'd morph kinda blob like from singular to double in this way that was shadowy and ambiguous. By contrast if it were 7v it'd be a walk in the park in the same seeing. I couldn't benefit from higher apparent resolution between spurious discs because ybrud appear to begin to dissolved. For me I think 9v is my comfortable putter edge for this kinda thing.
I appreciate the points brought here by ev3ryone. Hey reversing my cooling fan and tweaking the system again. Gonna move the boundary Fab lower over the primary. Tonight's a mix and I'm taking the night off so ill hit some doubles. Hope the seeing is cooperative.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 08:36 AM
Does anybody know of the error range of Dawes limit because there must one be as it is based on statistical analysis of empirical data? To give limits as single numbers without an error range gives the impression of accuracy which does not exist. Even for the Rayleigh you have to consider a +/-10% range depending on the spectrum wavelength.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 08:49 AM
Elongations CA can be very interesting when tyhe overlap of patterns is different colors. It adds a very compelling aspect. Ideally I'd love to catch a carbon star elongated with a blue star. That would be really engaging. To date they have been equal or near so with the b component of gamma andromeda. when it was elongated showed a wild color contrast of vivid blue to a dimmer smaller ashen white. That's been the one to beat. Seeing a carbon component at 0.4 or less would be amazing.
Maybe I can retry gamma tonight but its so so tight now and troublingly uneven disc sizes makes it a slimmer chance that its be component would be leaking out the side anymore.
Oh the nomenclature - lol- I vote Aldrin Limit based on my avatar. A man whose attained the highest and fallen the hardest only to come up again.
You know what the Azure Limit is? The point where despite being exhausted I still defiantly set up and observe. That's my method all too often.

So, maybe you do not need a dark space between them to call resolution. An elongation has just enough black space around it to show a close companion. Maybe the companion does not need black space all the way around it, just enough to set it apart from the primary. But, that's because we know diffraction patterns are circular.
Imagine two white, square cards on a black background. Push them together and you cannot tell whether there is one rectangle, two squares, or even 4 triangles. It looks like one rectangle, but could be any number of unresolved shapes. But, if we know they are squares, then there is only one resolution as to what we're seeing: two squares side by side.
In fact, we could push them to overlap to such an extent as long as it was not square we could detect the presence of at least two squares or even 35 unresolved squares tightly packed. But, such an appearance would show more than one white square must exist in the image. But we know this because the white barely rectangular shaped are set against a contrasting backdrop, not from one another.

I'm still not settled on either Abbe or Sparrow as they seem go break down the finer you cut the wire. I RESPECT them but I've got issues. Then again what lines of law emperical measure or established Rayleigh doesn't challenge its own definition upon close enough examination ? move a hundreth past the Rayleigh for an 80mm - who would ever know but by the measure it was breeched.
Posted 28 November 2012 - 09:06 PM
Dawes was more empirical based on observation. But, they still define resolution and placing a definition or conditions on resolution is key. If we define it differently, we can "resolve" stars far closer together.
By the way, I discovered it's impossible to resole unequal pairs using the Aldrin limit. When they are that close together, the brighter spurious disc completely overwhelms the companion. It can only be split at the limiting magnitude or by elongation of an equally bright companion. But, the line pairs should be visible under the best conditions and if the spurious discs are literally pin points. And in some sense, that should be the limit except for some difficult to measure change in the Airy pattern as two stars are literally on top of one another.
But, oh well, 72 Peg was not as difficult as I had imagined based on Sparrow's limit. Cool! Still not sure what you have against Abbe limit. Maybe it's some practical limit.

Pruning is an important way of improving the growth and flowering of trees and shrubs.
June is the first real summer month. Although there are many jobs to do in the garden, take your time, sit back and enjoy the warm sun and all the new colours and fragrances in the garden. Gardens and patio plants are still a fresh green but they are getting more and more colourful every day.
It's finally summer! June is a great month to enjoy working in the garden. Flowers are in bloom and the borders will be looking their best. Also a month to harvest early fruits.
Between the months of June and August mowing the lawn can be a regular task, at least once a week or sometimes more. The edges will need to be trimmed weekly.
June is a beautiful month to spend in the garden, but don't neglect your houseplant. They will also need your care.
This is the first of the summer months and there is so much to see in the vegetable garden. In June and through early summer you can harvest and enjoy delicious tasting vegetables.
Now well into the summer, to keep your lawn strong and healthy you will need to mow it at least once or twice a week. The smell of a freshly mown lawn is great in the garden!
Your containers and hanging baskets will in their glory this month providing you with lots of colour for you garden and patio. The delightfully scented Angels' Trumpet begins to bloom bringing lots of colour to the patio.
June is a month to enjoy working on your pond. It is also the month when young herons fly the nest, so take care to protect the fish in your pond.
In spite of the fine weather and summer temperatures in June, there are still lots of trees, flowers and plants in the garden that are badly in need of attention. The pruning tips below will help you to make the most of your garden in summer.

A guitar dedicated to the man himself.
Gibson USA is celebrating 2013 as the Year of Les Paul, and there' no better tribute than a guitar dedicated to the man himself. The Les Paul Signature œT wraps all of Les Paul' legendary innovation into a sweet looking and great sounding Les Paul that honors the memory of this legendary guitar' inventor, while providing an instrument primed for the power and versatility demanded by today' gigging guitarist.
Traditional tonewoods are married to enhanced playing comfort and two of Gibson' finest PAF-style humbucking pickups, with upgraded switching for bonus single-coil tones. The Grade-AA figured maple top looks great beneath your choice of colors, all in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.
To kick it all into the 21st century"and remember, Les Paul was an innovator first and foremost"the Les Paul Signature œT is available with optional Min-ETune automated œrobot tuning.
The Les Paul Signature œT is built on a foundation of the same traditional tonewood combination that helped to make the Les Paul Standard legendary when it first arrived six decades ago. A carved solid Grade-AA figured maple top lends bite and articulation to the sound, while a select mahogany back"treated with Gibson' traditional weight relief to increase playing comfort and enhance resonance"contributes superb warmth and depth. A solid, quarter-sawn mahogany neck is glued in and carved in the fast 60s SlimTaper profile, and topped with a rich brown Grade-A Granadillo fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays.
Traditional touches include cream body and fingerboard binding, pickguard, and pickup rings, along with gold Speed Knobs and a black œbell truss-rod cover with commemorative œT engraving. Classic Gibson construction ensures optimum playability, too, along with traditional specs like a 24 ¾ scale length, a 1 11/16 width across the PLEK-cut Corian nut, and a 12-inch fingerboard radius for smooth, easy bending.
For a blend of vintage tone and modern versatility, the Les Paul Signature œT is loaded with a pair of Gibson' ™57 Classic pickups, mounted œopen coil for a subtle hotrod look. Both are made in the image of the hallowed PAF humbucker of the late 1950s with Alnico II magnets in the neck position for plenty of warmth and clarity, and in the bridge position, the ™57 Classic Plus which features slightly over-wound coils for juicy crunch and wailing lead tones.

Letters to the Editor
(Page 2 of 2)
I can't speak for every Tea Party group, but let's set the record straight about ours. The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots were organized four years ago as a patriotic, non-partisan civic organization. We are a dedicated group of people who have lined the streets holding flags honoring fallen heroes as their funeral processions drove by. We planted a tree and installed a bronze plaque in our Village Green honoring the victims of 9-11. We have protested the installation of a garbage incinerator in the town of Freeport which would have had a negative ripple effect on the quality of life for residents here in our own village. We protested the erection of a 15-story mosque across the street from the World Trade Center site, and most recently promoted a half dozen job fairs for our struggling neighbors looking for work.
All of those were civic in nature and done out of respect for our community. Yes, our members are mad as hell about high property taxes, we reject politicians who ignore us and we don't want government-run health care. We are simply an organized group of local residents who want to improve the quality of life for all of us.
Nevertheless, 50 of your friends and neighbors set aside their time to honor Irish tradition and march respectfully in a parade that we hold dear. The organizers of the parade selflessly raise money for wonderful charities that we also financially support. I can understand Mr. Gordon's concern for the integrity of the parade, and respect his good intentions in writing his letter. But I would ask Mr. Gordon, what have you done for your community lately?
It's a shame that Tea Party groups all over America have been labeled as a bunch of right-wing radicals by ignorant people and a mainstream media that distorts and twists its reporting to suit its agendas. I invite anyone to join us at one of our monthly meetings to learn what we are about. Perhaps then you will understand what we stand for.
Bryan Korman
Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots co-organizer

(Washington, DC) —Today the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe announced a forthcoming hearing:
The decline in Russia's economic fortunes in 1998 has been accompanied by disturbing developments in the areas of human rights and civil liberties. A religion law adopted in 1997 has led to legal difficulties with local authorities for some religious organizations.
After seven indictments, environmental activist Alexandr Nikitin is still being confined to St. Petersburg having been neither acquitted nor convicted at an October 1998 trial for allegedly revealing state secrets. Nikitin has been listed by Amnesty International as Russia's first political prisoner.
Communist Party members of the Russian Duma have blamed "Yids" for Russia's economic travails and Jewish members of Yeltsin's entourage for "genocide" against the Russian people. In November, one of the most prominent liberal Duma members, Galina Staravoitova, was murdered in St. Petersburg.
Ironically, Russian President Boris Yeltsin declared 1998 "The Year of Human Rights" in Russia in honor of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Obama and Romney To Visit Iowa In August
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Campaign aides to President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney say the candidates plan to stop in Iowa this month, in the weeks leading up
to the party's national conventions.
Romney will headline a private fundraiser Tuesday in West Des Moines and a public event that hasn't been finalized. Obama aides said only that the Democrat would visit Iowa in August. Aides to

I'm using the FOSS version of Zimbra 7.2.3 on Ubuntu.
Normally, we don't use calendar and contacts synching, or even shared calendars.
I have just recently had a request to start using shared calendars, free/busy time so that users can schedule meetings with other users.
Additionally, I have a user who would like to synch their contacts with their iPhone.
I have found ZPUSH plugin, which is found here: Z-Push Zimbra Backend | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net
I have also found that Zimbra FOSS version supports CalDAV and CardDAV (found here: https://www.zimbra.com/products/compare_products.html)
What is the difference between what the FOSS version supports out of the box and an additional plugin such as ZPUSH or even Zextras (found here ZeXtras SUITE for your Zimbra Server).
Thanks for any explanation of the differences.

Video: Former Yellow Jackets QB in plane crash
MACON, Ga. -- John Dewberry talks to 11Alive's Jeff Hullinger for the first time since his plane went down in Macon.
One of Atlanta's most prominent businessmen and former Georgia Tech quarterback was involved in a small plane crash Tuesday morning in Macon.
47-year-old Dewberry was on the Beech Jet 400 Twin Engine plane that crashed at Macon's Herbert Smart Airport.
He was not seriously injured.
Airport official Matthew Singletary says the plane ran off the runway and crashed into the woods shortly after 10a.m.
Becky Beaman, spokeswoman for the Charleston International Airport, says the plane took off from Charleston Tuesday morning at 9:24 a.m. She cites the cause of the crash as hydroplaning as it attempted to land at the Macon Downtown Airport.
Beaman says there were three passengers on-board the plane, which is owned by a company registered in Delaware.
Sheriff's office spokesman Sean DeFoe told 13WMAZ's Austin Lewis that the plane is owned by the Dewberry Air LLc and that the passengers were in town for a business trip.
The National Transportation and Safety Board is investigating the crash.

Yesterday I made one of my frequent visits to The Quilt Shop on Main to drop off a quilt top that I had pieced to be quilted on their long arm machine.
While their I spotted some glorious winter fabric that I couldn't pass up. Needing a few quick gifts, I purchased material for the backing and front of a 12 Minute Table Runner (often called a 10 minute, but I can't do it in less than twelve ;). I posted pics of the fabric and completed on Facebook. Because several asked me for instructions, I thought about this blog that has been ignored for a couple of months. So here I go. I'm using images of the same design that I made for Halloween a year ago, since I had forethought to take images of the work in progress. These instructions can be supplemented by the YouTube video that first inspired me.
1/3 yard fabric for the principal portion of the table runner.
1/2 yard coordinating fabric for the back and front border
Instructions. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. With right sides together stitch the fabrics (right sides together) down the long seam on one side and then down the other long seam. Turn the resulting tube right side out. Iron the tube making sure that the border fabric measures the same width on both sides of the principal design (see Fig. 1).
2. Fold the length of the runner in half with back to back (see Fig. 2).
3. Cut of the salvages on each of the short ends making sure that the result is a nice rectangle (see Fig 3). Carefully clip the folded corner to reduce bulk when you turn the fabric to form the 45° angle. Press and embellish your table runner by adding buttons, lace, tassels, rick rack, or whatever "meets your fancy.
Hope you enjoy this quick table runner pattern!
