A Scope for the Ages or Just Aging?

With all due respect and saying this in only the best possible way, why is it so difficult for Questar owners to see the obvious?
With all due respect...it was, in fact, frustration with the self-aligning go-to computer controlled scopes of today that led me to the simplicity of the "point-and-view" Questar. To each his own.
Posted 11 February 2010 - 08:47 PM
Do I want one? You bet.

I would firmly disagree that the utility of the Questar has been eclipsed. It is precisely its simplicity and timelessness that maintains its relevance. It provides a different kind of observing experience that is, in some ways, more immersive than trolling around the sky with goto. The Questar is not for everyone, but for those that appreciate its simplicity and the back-to-basics style of observing it promotes, the Questar simply shines.

1. The Gregory Maksutov (terminology corrected as per Barry, thanks) is the simplest, using all spherical surfaces. The secondary mirror has exactly the same curvature as the corrector. This design is used by Meade and Celestron, because it can be mass produced.
2. The Rumak design has separate secondary mirror, which has the advantage of a separate curvature.
3. The Questar design may have no name, but it is quite unique. The secondary is on the same glass as the corrector, but it is ground to an independent curvature. The secondary has an aspheric curvature, figured by hand. This is a very expensive process, but the secondary can never go out of alignment. The aspheric element provides superior optical performance, but this has apparently escaped the notice of many amateurs.
But the superiority is widely exploited by the U.S. Government. The earth observation telescope on the International Space Station is a Questar 7. The design, which is also produced by Davro, is used uniformly by the U.S. Government for law enforcement, military surveillance, and intelligence gathering.
On the subject of craftsmanship, I have a feeling that many of the general public, perhaps including astronomers, have perhaps not seen enough fine work to really know what it is. The mass market companies have pretty much succeeded in convincing the buyer not to look beneath the surface. But fine machine work is not simply a matter of something being "pretty."
Open up another "very popular brand", and you will see a mirror that rides on a film of grease, plastic gears and plastic fasteners. Open up a Questar, and you will find work as good as a Rolex, which is why you can send a forty year old Questar in for freshening, and it will be as good as new. In fact, there is no plastic at all in a Questar, save the tiny transparent indicator on the right ascension axis.
Precision machine work is difficult to appreciate. I will post some pictures soon.

One thing which is not commonly understood is that the Questar optical design is significantly different from Meade and Celestron clones. They are only superficially clones. There are three types of Maksutovs with an axial viewport.
1. The Gregorian is the simplest, using all spherical surfaces. The secondary mirror has exactly the same curvature as the corrector. This design is used by Meade and Celestron, because it can be mass produced.

Wow Brian, well said!
This is one of the things I love about my Questar. Last night, I spent roughly 7 (!) hours at the eyepiece of my Questar 7 and was stlll reluctant to go inside and get some sleep. This telescope totally gets out of the way and lets me observe the universe. Mars was absolutely breathtaking and got 95% of the time, with small excursions to the deepsky and rising Saturn.
One of the things I also enjoy about the Questar 7 is it's ability to use both a Binoviewer at the axial port and regular viewing and searching through a Brandon in the regular eyepiece holder. Last night I used my Baader bino with 2 TV 15mm WideFields and the 12 mm Brandon on top. Great combination.
And then there are the optics. The incredible optics. The amazingly sharp and contrasty optics. Polar cap in white, surface color in salmon/yellow orange, beautilul dark surface details all over the globe in many shades of gray including deep dark black.
NO DEW after 7 hours in -10 C, the synchronous motor quietly running. Dec and RA manual control smoothly adjustable, finder- and barlow flip-levers working wonderfully.
Fully cooled optics and mechanics giving a perfectly calm and stable image. The image was so sharp I dared inserting my 4mm Zeiss to observe the polar cap and the dark delineation aound it. A bit dim, but very sharp. Optimum monocular was my 7 Nagler, giving a little bit more magnification then my 12 Brandon barlowed. I guess the perfect ocular for last night would have been the 6mm Brandon that I don't have (yet). Hmmmm......
Anyway, the Q was smootly cruising at around 400x most of the night, providing a wonderful imagescale, brightness and contrast to observe Mars. It actually looked BIG.
Before I get to excited I better stop and wish you all clear and stable skies where our Questars shine and make us glow!

The mid 20th Century was a time of Quality. We now live in a time of quantity, in which for most things, leaves a lot to be desired.
The thing about aging is that you can look back and appreciate that quality, where others can not.
Posted 12 February 2010 - 08:45 AM
Yes, it's superb quality. Yup, it's a classic design and still looks ahead of it's time, over 50 years after it was introduced. Sure, it has many lovely convenience features.
It might not utilize goto technology, or employ the latest polycarbonate construction materials, but for observers who have a good knowledge of the sky resident in their noggins (or who can read a star chart), that's not an issue.
S&T wrote an in-depth article about the Questar in one of their 2002 issues. For folks who are looking for further insights into why Questar has continuing appeal, it's worth checking out that article.
I wouldn't say the Questar is "the ultimate" telescope, for active or inactive observers. However, it's extremely good for an amazingly compact "observatory in a briefcase".

Anyone who has ever had a cemented rear view mirror knows that, eventually, it falls off. Thermal cycles shear the bond. The owner of the 7" Meade Mak observed that, when this happens, the baffle will fall on the primary mirror. With that kind of impact, scratches, or worse, are inevitable, and these cannot be fixed by a trip to the recoating shop.
Moral of the story: If you buy a telescope that is glued together, it will eventually become catastrophically unglued. Questar owners will never be bothered by this.

Well, I admit the Q was the BroadBand-coated-version, and I do not know how the Standard-version would have compared, but anyway, mine was so clearly superior to the ETX in brightness and even more so in contrast, that nobody better tries to tell me an ETX is sort of equal optically. (I would severely suspect him to be a concealed Meade distributor or even the manufacturer himself:grin:...)

And as much as I love GOTO scopes, over time they do tend to cause your object finding abilities to atrophy, much as excessive use of a calculator can affect our math abilities.
Posted 21 March 2010 - 01:09 PM
The biggest complaint about the Meade 7" was that, because it employed the same tube and mount geometry as the Meade 8" Schmidt-Cass telescopes, it required a substantial internal counterweight to balance the heavier corrector of the Mak. Owing to that increased mass, it apparently was extremely reluctant to reach ambient temperature.
Chalk such shortcomings up to the difference between styling and engineering, and the manufacturering expedience of doing things on the cheap.

Hey don't sell us oldsters short. I'm 72 and still think I can do it, just takes a little more time.
We found one side of a 220 Palmated mule deer and hunted the other one. We walked down hill about one quarter mile then decided to go back and find the other side. We did find the other one and both had landed in a shade so they are not bleached. I can draw a tag for the unit so as my friend says Gorman is going to hunt him until one of them is dead. This will have to be a backpack hunt at age 72. My plan is 3rd season rifle.
Am I losing my mind?

Gorman, I think you can do it! However, I'm wondering how many points are you going to need to draw that tag? How about showing us a picture of that huge shed?
I will try to get a picture up. Cool thing is, I don't need any points to draw. How cool is that?
Pics!!! Story is no good with out Pics!!! Did I say Pics??
They look like moose sheds to me.
You could paddle a boat with those! I will hunt until I die! That's what keeps you young & going! My uncle is 75 still climbs tree stands & shoots whitetails with his bow.

VALDOSTA, Ga. - After throwing just the fifth perfect game in Gulf South Conference history, Valdosta State's Nick Fogarty was named the GSC's Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week.
Fogarty was recognized after retiring all 21 batters he faced in VSU's 12-0 victory over Paine in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday. He struck out nine batters, induced five ground balls and had seven fly ball outs to improve his record to 2-0 on the year. The perfect game was the second in Valdosta State history.
On the year, Fogarty has pitched 13.0 innings and allowed just two hits and three walks. He has struck out 21 batters and has not allowed a base runner past second base on the season.
The Blazers return to action Wednesday, February 13 at 5:00 p.m. when they host Georgia Southwestern.

GPS monitoring -- embraced as a simple technological solution for tracking the whereabouts of convicted sex offenders -- is proving to be something less than a silver bullet for state and local public safety agencies.
Convinced that GPS monitoring was the answer to the sex offender problem, judges and lawmakers began mandating the technology for high-profile parolees. Beginning in 2005, the technology was widely deployed as means to ensure that offenders complied with the terms of their release, such as staying a safe distance from schools or a victim's home.
Monitoring systems typically consist of a GPS receiver/portable tracking device, radio frequency transmitter, stationary charging unit, cellular telephone and computer software to review GPS data. The devices allow officials to track the parolees' whereabouts -- when everything works properly and when offender cooperates.
But there are problems with the way the technology is used and monitored. False alarms number in the thousands in some jurisdictions, straining manpower and casting doubt on the viability of GPS as a tracking tool for high-profile felons.
In Arizona, a 2007 legislative study found more than 35,000 false alerts by 140 subjects wearing the GPS-monitoring devices.

CEVA completes private exchange offers and recapitalization efforts
May 02, 2013 - LM Editorial
Following its April announcement that it reached an agreement with its major note holders to recapitalize its balance sheet and raise new capital, global third-party logistics (3PL) services provider CEVA Logistics said that this effort is now complete.
CEVA said that through these efforts it will reduce its consolidated net debt by more than $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion euros) and its annual cash interest expense by more than $170 million ($130 million euros) and also receive a capital infusion of a minimum of $301 million ($230 million euros) for investment in its business plan.
CEVA officials said that the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations were conducted in connection with CEVA's previously announced financial recapitalization plan to reduce substantially CEVA's overall debt and interest costs, as well as increase liquidity and strengthen its capital structure. And they added that the Recapitalization will enable CEVA to better serve its customers, accelerate its growth throughout the world and fund the development of new supply chain products and services.
"We are pleased to be successfully completing the Recapitalization and are appreciative of the support of our creditors in this effort," said Marvin Schlanger, CEVA's Chief Executive Officer, in a statement. "CEVA is now a much stronger competitor in the Supply Chain Industry and we look forward to growing with our customers around the world. This is a transformational transaction that positions CEVA to better serve our customers and develop new supply chain solutions and services to meet their needs."
In a recent interview with LM, Schlanger said that these efforts will make for a stronger balance sheet for CEVA, which will enable the company to grow faster and better compete in the logistics and supply chain marketplace.
"We will have the flexibility of making additional capex investments, which will allow us to better serve our customers as they grow globally, and it will allow us to build and sell new supply chain products," he said. "That is very important as the supply chain sector moves forward over the next few years. It is very important and very good for CEVA and strengthens us significantly, and we think that can only be positive for our customers as this transaction allows us to do more for them in terms of better service, more products, more locations and more growth."
In terms of some of the benefits of increased capex investment, Schlanger said that CEVA's customers are demanding more transparency and more visibility and more tractability and control of their supply chains at any given point in time.
Part of the gains, he said, will come in increased IT functionality and applications to meet the needs of customers.
"I think we will be in a position to move forward to make more investments into these kinds of IT products our customers are asking for and will allow us to differentiate ourselves from the competition," he said.

Royals News…
An eventful couple of days for the Royals…
Because of the tragic incidents revolving around the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota, the Royals-Twins 12:10 p.m. game Thursday has been postponed. The game has not been rescheduled at this time, but we'll let you know when we hear anything further. On behalf of the Royals family, our thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by this disaster as well as the Minneapolis community.
The team will continue their road trip, heading to New York for a three-game, weekend series against the New York Yankees that begins Friday, 6:05 p.m.
RSTN TELEVISES OMAHA GAME: On Thursday, as previously scheduled, RSTN will head to Omaha to broadcast the Triple-A O-Royals 7 p.m. contest against the Las Vegas 51s, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It will mark the second O-Royals game RSTN has broadcast this season – RSTN previously broadcasted Omaha's 4-3 win over the Iowa Cubs on July 12. Dave Armstrong and Royals Hall of Fame second baseman Frank White will once again be in the booth. Right-hander Matt Wright (6-3, 4.11 ERA) is scheduled to throw for Omaha.
ROSTER MOVES RECAP: Prior to their 10th inning, 5-3 win over the Twins Wednesday, the Royals made a series of roster moves. So, just in case you need a recap:
- – Outfielder Reggie Sanders was placed on the 15-day D.L. with a left hamstring tear.
- – Outfielder Joey Gathright was recalled from Omaha.
- – Right-handed pitcher Kyle Davies, who was acquired yesterday from the Atlanta Braves for Octavio Dotel, has joined the team.
- – Right-handed pitcher Ryan Braun has been recalled from Omaha.
- – Left-handed pitcher Jorge De La Rosa was placed on the 15-day D.L. with a left elbow strain.
- – Right-handed pitcher Scott Elarton cleared waivers and is now a free agent.
- – Right-handed pitcher Jason Shiell, who was designated for assignment on Sunday, cleared waivers and accepted his assignment to Omaha.

Why does KC Royals Management have such a low opinion of Leo Nunez? They were going to send him back to Omaha until De Le Rosa was put on DL. To me it would have made much more sense to shift Davies to Omaha. He hasn't proven a thing for the Royals. Nunez has. There are several other players they are constantly shipping back and forth. I would think that would get discouraging to the players.
Doesn't make sense to me either? Furthermore, why did the Royals even traded Dotel for a minor league pitcher? I'm sure the constant shipping back and forth will eventually wear the players down. But, hey, if they want to play in the big league.
Congrats to Billy Butler for being named Rookie of the Month for July.
Also, congrats to David DeJesus for hit # 500 on Saturday.
Welcome back, Joey Gathright!
Love you Royals!

SEC Names Insider Trading Suspect in Staffing Firm Deal
Ladislav 'Larry' Schvacho made approximately $511,000 in illicit profits using insider information, the Securities and Exchange Commission reported.
The friend of the top executive at Comsys IT Partners is suspected of using insider information to profit from the sale of Comsys to ManpowerGroup Inc. in 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced July 25.
Ladislav "Larry" Schvacho made approximately $511,000 in illicit profits using insider information, the agency reported.
Schvacho purchased approximately 72,000 shares of Comsys in the weeks leading up to the Feb. 2, 2010, announcement that it would be acquired, according to the SEC. The stock price increased 31 percent following the announcement.
"As a result of Schvacho's time with the CEO, he learned nonpublic details and stockpiled Comsys shares until it became by far the largest stock investment that he'd ever made into a single company," said William Hicks, associate regional director of the SEC's Atlanta regional office. "The Comsys CEO confided in Schvacho, who exploited that trust and stole information for a half-million-dollar payday."
Schvacho and Comsys CEO Larry Enterline were friends since they met while working at the same company in the 1970s, according to the SEC. They maintained a friendship even after Enterline moved to Houston, and they met for dinner and drinks when Enterline visited Atlanta, where Schvacho lived.
Schvacho may have overheard Enterline discuss the Comsys deal during a dinner at a restaurant on Nov. 6, 2009, when Enterline—in Schvacho's presence—discussed it in a phone conversation with Comsys executives, according to the SEC.
Enterline also discussed the possible acquisition during another phone conversation with a Comsys executive—again in Schvacho's presence—during a Florida vacation with Schvacho between Dec. 11 and Dec. 14, 2009, the SEC reported.
Enterline reasonably expected Schvacho to not disclose or otherwise use the confidential information, according to the SEC.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
Office Live Small Business is now closed and was shut down on 30 April 2012. Most customers have already moved their website, email, and other data to Office 365 or another provider. Below are some common questions about the closure:
Q: I just found out about the OLSB closure – when and where was this announced?
A: The decision to discontinue OLSB and to focus on Office 365 for professionals and small businesses was first announced in October 2010. Since then, we have given updates in blog posts in the Office Live Small Business community and sent regular email messages to customers (using the email addresses they gave us). There were also on-screen notifications every time that OLSB administrators signed in to their OLSB accounts.
You can still retrieve some of the data you had, like email on Hotmail and documents on SkyDrive, as these were not affected by the OLSB closure.
Q: How can I recover the website content, email, and documents I kept on OLSB?
A: Any website data or documents that were stored within OLSB are no longer recoverable. However, some of your data isn't affected by the closure, and much of the rest can be recovered.
Your website was taken off the web when OLSB was decommissioned and is no longer recoverable.
Documents and photos:
If you used a custom domain with OLSB, it has been released and is available for you to move to Office 365 or another provider.
If you got your domain through Office Live Small business then your domain registrar is Melbourne IT. You can keep your domain with Melbourne IT or move it to another domain registrar. If you need help from Melbourne IT you can open a support request at https://www.melbourneit.com.au/contacts/support.php or call them.
Q: Is website data (or documents stored within OLSB) recoverable?
A: Any data in your OLSB account that is not stored on SkyDrive or Hotmail is no longer recoverable. Recovery of this data was available between 30 April 2012 and 1 December 2012.
Q: Do I need to cancel my OLSB account?
A: No, all accounts have already been cancelled as part of the OLSB closure.
Q: Have my documents on SkyDrive by deleted? Will they be?
A: No, they won't be deleted. You can still use SkyDrive by signing in with your Windows Live ID.
Q: Can I keep using email in Hotmail, but not move my website?
A: If your email address ends in @live.com, @hotmail.com, or @msn.com, then nothing has been deleted. Go to www.windowslive.com to sign in.
If your email address ends with a custom domain (like fourthcoffee.com or contoso.com), then you need to update the domain records in order to make sure that you can access your email.
Q: Why is my email no longer getting to my Office Live mailbox?
A: You may need to adjust your DNS settings. Here is more informaiton:
Symptom: No new email is being delivered to my custom domain mail account with my Office Live account or Hotmail.com or outlook.com. Email sent to my domain is not received by the owner of the email account and/or email sent to my account is getting a refusal notification from the email sender's mail account.
Issue: Office Live was shut down in May 2012. For many users their email on their custom domain Office Live account continued to operate normally, because, after the shutdown of Office Live, Microsoft continued to operate the Office Live Domain Name Servers (DNS). Microsoft is continuing to shut down Office Live and we began shutting down our DNS in January 2013. This shutdown will impact the flow of mail to Office Live users that continued to use their custom emails.
Solution: To correct the problem and continue using Hotmail or Outlook.com as their email system, administrators will be required to complete 2 steps:
1. The administrator will need to sign in with their domain registrar and change their domain name servers (DNS) to point to a domain name server of their choice. Most registrars operate DNS servers that their customers can use. If you have questions about how to do this, please work with your domain registrar.
2. Once the administrator has changed their DNS servers, they are ready to enable the domain for use with Hotmail.com or outlook.com. On their domain registrar site, they need to set their MX record to: 1 pamx1.hotmail.com. (including the final '.').

Return to the top.
Q: Melbourne IT sent me email. What do I do with it?
A: If you purchased a custom domain through Office Live Small Business, that domain is registered with Melbourne IT. That means that you can contact them for help with your domain, and can go to their website to access or change your domain records.
Q: Can I use Melbourne IT if my domain name ends with .jp or .fr?
A: Melbourne IT does not manage these domains directly. Instead, your .jp or .fr domain will be managed by the existing registrar on record for your domain name in Japan or France. If you want help with this, you can open a support request with Melbourne IT at https://www.melbourneit.com.au/contacts/support.php or call them.
Q: How do I recover my domain key from Melbourne IT?
A: Melbourne IT will send you an email message with the domain key. Check your junk mail folder to make sure it wasn't sent there by accident. If you have checked for this message and haven't received it, please contact Melbourne IT by opening a support request at https://www.melbourneit.com.au/contacts/support.php or by calling them.

The Boys in Blue donned some extra "light" blue gear and paint for Sunday's Father's Day matinee, which ended happily as the Royals defeated the Marlins, 5-4.
The light blue ribbons, wristbands, headbands, etc., were all to raise awareness for prostate cancer, which affects one in six men according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Every Father's Day, all of Major League Baseball encourages the players to sport the light blue apparel and accessories, along with collecting items from the Father's Day games to be sold in an online auction at mlb.com. The Royals also held their own silent auction prior to the game Friday night – also a Royals victory! – to benefit prostate cancer research. Check out some more shots of our guys showing their support for the cause…
In Jeff Flanagan's column that ran in the KC Star prior to Sunday's game, TPJ was quoted saying that he will be giving his dad and former Royals manager, Tony Pena, Sr., the following for Father's Day: "Two hits and a phone call."
Looks like Tony is a good son that comes through on his promises (check out the box score!). He even threw in a little extra present for dear 'ol dad: scoring the winning run!
Royals in St. Louis tonight for Game 4, of the I-70 Series, 7:10 p.m. start. Last year, we took two of three from the Redbirds on their home grass…tune into RSTN or 810 WHB to see if we can get the job done this season.

'Islam and Christianity in Bible Prophecy' Seminar at Stafford Seventh-day Adventist Church
Sunday, 07 April, 2013|
"Islam and Christianity" is a Bible prophecy seminar based on Daniel 11:2 to 12:3. In this prophecy Daniel chronologically covers over 2500 years of time. Daniel starts in his time, 535 BC. He continues through Greece, then Rome and the coming of Jesus, and on through the break up of Rome and on through and past our time. History shows that Daniel's predictions have been accurate for the last 2500 years so we feel that the remainder will also be accurate. Daniel predicted that the Roman empire would divide into a northern (Christian) power and a southern (Islamic) power. These two powers would have three major periods of conflict. The first was between European Christianity and Arab Islam from the time of Mohammad through the time of the crusades. The second period of conflict was the time of the reformation and the conflict between European Christianity vs the Islamic Ottoman Turkish empire. The third period of conflict will be "at the time of the end" and will be Christianity vs radical Islam. The third conflict will result in the break up of modern Islam as we know it today. The prophecy does not paint a nice picture of the majority of Christianity or of the majority of Islam. Both are corrupted by their quest for political power, and both have persecuted those who believe differently. However, God has had true believers within Christianity and also some within Islam. This seminar will examine the prophecy and the history which will give you a brand new understanding of current events. Of current interest: In Daniel 11 it predicts the overthrow of Egypt by the Christian powers. This indicates that in the future Egypt will no longer be a friend of the US or Israel , otherwise it would not be overthrown. It is understood that the subject matter is volatile, so we promise to be respectful to those from all backgrounds and ask that guests/participants respect others as well. Christians, Muslims and others have attended and appreciated this seminar.
Presenter Tim Roosenberg is the author of the book Islam and Christianity in Prophecy, and seminar speaker. He was a pastor for many years before switching to full time seminar speaker. Tim is passionate about the Bible being the authority for life and teaching for Christians. He has studied prophecy for 30 years and has discovered that following the reformers methods of interpretation leads to the most Biblical and historically accurate understanding of Bible prophecy.
Tim Roosenberg is available (schedule permitting) for interviews or as a guest on talk shows.

My boss' wife made this for a Christmas party app and everyone snatched it up. I've made it for parties every chance I've gotten since. Fun lunch for kids on the weekends too. You can vary toppings and even sub lower fat "sauce" ingredients in to make it a hit with everyone. The crescent roll sheet is well worth the hassle of locating a grocer that carries it.
My whole family LOVES it!!

On the heels of the New York Post mention about Rafael Nadal + Shakira sharing dinner in Barcelona that I tweeted about yesterday comes some raw footage from her new music video for "Gypsy" featuring the 6-time Grand Slammer. Apparently they shot the video last week.
We all know how much she loves watching the Matador play and now she gets to get all cuddly with him in this video. Nice moves Shak but make sure to keep those hands in check.
P.S. - Thanks to everyone who blew up my inbox!
UPDATE: Nadal News has the cover and link to a video from his SOBeFiT photoshoot.

I don't know how he feels about her, but no doubt she wants him (hey, who doesn't). The way she reaches over to touch him -- dead giveaway...ReplyDelete
Back off Shakira -- I can only fight off one girl when I try to get to Rafa! ;)
- AnonymousFebruary 16, 2010 at 3:46 PM
^ Yes, I agree. It's so obvious that Shakira wants Rafa, it's written all over her face ;). I never really liked her, but I sooo want to be Shakira now!!ReplyDelete
PS: Rafito, just stay away from Verdasco a couple of weeks, he will be soooo jealous when he'll see this :))
I can't help but admire Shakira for this. I mean, she obviously knows what she wants, goes after it and makes sure it looks God damn hot! Can't WAIT to see the finished video.ReplyDelete
In the meantime, I shall imagine that it's me lying there with Rafa having a post...ahem...coital giggle. ;)

Cannot agree any more. I think we cannot blame Shakira. Who can resist from super hot sexy Rafael Nadal?ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Jessica Tyson feels that all guns should be outlawed. While discussing the slayings of 26 students and staff at Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, Tyson declared that she saw no reason for any average citizen to possess a gun.
Ms Tyler is President of the D. C. area Survivors of Homicides organization. She buried her youngest son Michael Tyler, an Army veteran, back in 1995 after he was car-jacked-robbed and shot.
This past Sunday her grandson, Jeffery Tyson was shot to death in Southwest DC. "I didn't think I would ever go through this again", she said.
Nardyne Jefferies has become a national advocate for more gun controls; joining New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on the stomp.
When she talks about the massacre in Newtown she knows of what she speaks. Jeffries's 16 year old daughter Brishell Jones was one of five young people shot and killed in a drive-by in 2010 that began over a stolen fake bracelet.
Nardyne Jefefries wants an immediate ban on assault weapons. Like the parents from Sandy Hook elementary she reminded me that she too won't have a child to watch opening presents on her upcoming birthday and at Xmas.
Homicides are down in D.C. this year---82 as of Tuesday evening-- compared to 107 at this same time last year--but as former Police Chief Charles Ramsey once told 9News' Bruce Johnson--it's not just the murders that we should be looking at--it's all the shootings, and there are still hundreds of assaults with guns out there.

1950 Mercury Coupe - Makeover MercWritten by on February 1, 2010 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen Hot Rods & Hobbies' Completely Reworked '50 Merc
It's not the way these things usually happen, but when this incredible '50 Merc was delivered to Scott Bonowski's shop, it was a brand-new finished car. All the owner wanted from Scott and his crew at Hot Rods & Hobbies (HR&H) was some body-color paint on the white doorjambs. As it turned out, the job got a little bigger than originally planned, and when it was finally finished, there was virtually nothing on the Merc that had not been redone. Completely.
The Merc that originally showed up at the shop was a suede cruiser, built in a somewhat conventional custom style with flat black suede paint and silver ghost flames, wide whites, a big-block engine, and suspension of unknown pedigree. The red leather interior by Ed Brescia at Fast Ed's Interiors had just been installed.
Hot Rods & Hobbies was commissioned to paint the doorjambs to match the body, but the owner returned within a matter of days. He wasn't happy with the way the car drove and the way it stopped. After evaluating the poor quality of the work on the car, Scott recommended replacing the chassis. The owner's response was something of a surprise, "Go ahead and change the chassis . . .and, oh yeah, chop it too!"
Pretty soon, the simple paintjob that turned into a chassis rebuild was quickly becoming a full rebuild. The next step was to bring in automotive designer and illustrator Steve Stanford to create a whole new vision for a very unconventional car-with the body of a custom and the soul of a hot rod.
But before any of those design elements could be accomplished, there was the matter of the chassis. Art Morrison provided a complete rolling chassis, with independent suspension, including Strange coilovers and antiroll bars at both ends, plus a power rack-and-pinion steering setup in front and a triangulated four-link in the rear. The Ford 9-inch runs 3.73:1 gears with a posi. Whatever stopping problems existed before were eliminated by some huge Wilwood disc brakes; fronts are 12 inches with six pistons and the rears are 11 inches with four pistons. Hot Rods & Hobbies cut out the floor of the car to drop the body over the 'rails, fabricating body mounts, motor and transmission mounts, and an X-member.
Stanford's concept drawing featured many of the elements that ended up on the reworked Merc, including the custom frenched headlights, handmade one-off taillights, modified stock grille with parking lights eliminated, shaved handles and emblems, custom side trim, exhaust exits cut into the rear quarter-panels, modified rear wheel arches, filled cowl and seams, rounded hood and decklid corners, custom bumpers (nickel-plated at Vern's Plating), and one-piece windows with modified trim and moldings. And of course the top, which was chopped 3 1/2 inches.
The sheetmetal was massaged for hours before going into the HR&H paint booth, where it was shot in black. Scott Baldwin stepped in to shoot the Green Pearl ghost flames, followed by lots of clear. The chassis was painted with a custom Green Pearl to tie in with the flames, accented with nickel plating, stainless, and black anodized hardware. The same green is found on the engine, transmission, and rearend.
The right or wrong rolling stock can make or break a custom. In this case, these Salt Flat-style kidney bean rims-they're Santa Fe models from Billet Specialties' Vintage series-are a great choice for a custom built to combine style and performance. Scott mounted 18x10s in the rear with 18x8s in front. The Toyo Proxes high-performance tires measure 295/45R18 and 245/40R18.
Of course, hi-po rubber would be wasted on a car that couldn't deliver the goods. Pretty as it is, this Merc was also built with some muscle. The GM 502 big-block runs with stock internals, but gets fed by an electronic fuel injection system from Imagine Injection, which, one look will tell you, is designed to resemble retro mechanical stacks. Bob Ream at Imagine Injection helped set up the EFI on the 502. Paired with a FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology) computer, the Imagine system delivers more than nostalgia. Scott took the engine to Westech Performance Group in Mira Loma, California, for tuning on the dyno-and rates horsepower at 500 and torque at 500 lb-ft. Torrance Transmission built the Turbo 400 automatic for the Merc, operated by a handbuilt shifter with a line-lock.
Ed Brescia at Fast Ed's Interiors got another chance to build an interior for the car, replacing his still-fresh red leather upholstery with top-shelf bullhide wrapped around a pair of cut-down Toyota buckets and a custom-built rear bench. A little leather was saved for the custom door panels and transmission hump, and the trunk.
The dash, evocative of a '51 Ford, was fabricated to wrap around the door panels. Scott liked the idea of pods for the custom instruments, and decided to put them in the center instead of directly above the steering wheel. Controls are hidden behind the modified glovebox door in the center of the dash, and the master cylinder and Vintage Air A/C are mounted underneath the dash. An iPod, along with Hertz amp and speakers, provides the sound track.
The Merc's first public appearance at the '09 Grand National Roadster Show was a big success, and earned the custom a First in Class prize and the Overall Outstanding Custom award, in addition to the Triple Gun Award of Excellence, presented by Zane Cullen, Darryl Hollenbeck, and Charley Hutton. Best of all, perhaps, was the admiration it got from the general public. A few weeks later at the Sacramento Autorama, the car was selected for the show's big prize: World's Most Beautiful Custom.
You may be happy to learn that, since then, the Merc's owner has been driving the car the way he planned to way back when it was a suede cruiser. "It's been getting dirty and buggy," Scott promised us. And it will be driven, not trailered, when it heads off to a couple of the first Goodguys shows this spring. You can see it for yourself at the All-American Get-Together in Pleasanton, California, in March, and at the Del Mar Nationals near San Diego in April.

The firewall, inner fenders, and radiator cover were completely smoothed and reshaped. The 502 Chevy big-block with Imagine Injection EFI is capable of respectable power and wears some impressive dress-up components. All casting marks were smoothed from the engine, and extra holes were filled.Brian Stone and Clay Cook built the full-custom wraparound dash, which was modified to extend out toward the repositioned seats (the driver's a tall guy). The brass and steel mesh in the dash insert is also found on the horn button, doorsills, interior lights, and under the hood on the custom valve covers. The center glovebox door was widened; the start button, A/C controls, trunk release, iPod stereo controls, and toggles for lights and power windows are inside. The modified Cadillac wheel is mounted on an ididit tilt column.This Mercury head shift knob was hand carved from sterling silver by Derrick Obatake of Steel Flames in Torrance, CA. The shifter handle is hollow and houses the wire for the functional line-lock-essential for occasional burnouts.Ed Brescia at Fast Ed's upholstery covered the interior in red leather before the car ever went to HR&H, and recovered it in green bullhide with black leather inserts.A trio of instrument pods was built into the dash and filled with one-off gauges provided by Classic Instruments.The swinging brake and accelerator pedals feature more of the mesh seen all over the Merc. Carpet is nice, but the rubber flooring sure looks cool.
The trunk is fully finished in the style of the interior. Notice the "M" emblem on the back of the rear seat. This is more of Derric Obatake's sterling silver work. The same emblem decorates each inside door panel.The Merc that came in for some doorjamb paint rolled out a completely rebuilt custom on an Art Morrison chassis with an X-member, mounts, and core support built by HR&H, with an injected 502 big-block and TH400 automatic.

Christian Colon conference call notes
Christian Colon, Kansas City's first-round pick, talked to the media today via teleconference. Colon and his Cal State Fullerton teammates are preparing for a weekend Super Regional series against UCLA. Here are some notes:
Colon is used to playing alongside some big names – his national team experience includes time with Stephen Strasburg and Mike Leake. He sees himself as a person who leads by example and can also be vocal. He says he will do anything to win.
Colon was born in Puerto Rico before his family moved to the U.S. He patterned his game after Roberto Alomar, a favorite in Puerto Rico.
He compared his style to Elvis Andrus of the Rangers and Martin Prado of the Braves. The media has compared him to Placido Polanco, and Colon is comfortable with the comparison. He sees Polanco as a player who plays the game the right way and moves runners along.
The Padres selected Colon in the 10th round in 2007. He says his speed has improved since then and that his body has changed from hitting the weight room. He also grew up as a hitter and developed more arm strength.
He is familiar with one of K.C.'s minor league affiliate cities – Colon played in Omaha last year in the College World Series. He has good memories of the city and the people.

Enter the etnies & Deftones Contest!
Posted By etnies in Skate, Surf, Snow, BMX, Skip To The Comments (11)
May 23 2007 / Wednesday
Deftones are about to embark on a nationwide US tour in support of Saturday Night Wrist, the long-awaited follow-up to 2003's Deftones. Saturday Night Wrist is both deceptively tuneful and alarmingly heavy, see-sawing between melancholy reflection and jaw-clenching frustration like a manic depressive refusing his meds. Saturday Night Wrist incorporates disparate elements of hard rock, heavy metal, punk, classic, alternative and electronic music within its tumultuous grooves.
etnies is a proud sponsor of the 2007 Deftones tour and we're giving 3 lucky winners a pair of tickets to see one of the final Deftones shows in either Las Vegas, San Diego or Los Angeles in July. One grand prize winner per city will be chosen and the three grand prize winners will also receive an etnies/Deftones prize pack consisting of a pair of etnies shoes, a Deftones T-shirt, hoodie and signed Saturday Night Wrist CD.
All you gotta do is fill out this form. A bit of advice: You might wanna live in or near one of the three cities for which we are giving away tickets and have a way to get to the show in case you win, 'cuz we ain't flippin' the travel bill! You should be listening to Deftones as you enter this contest, because that might be good karma. Best of luck, kiddos!

I know several people who have this and it looks like it's just the normal everyday flu.
Drug company's must be making a fortune off this.
The media has taken this to a new level. Why is this flu so overblown compared to the normal everyday flu? It's crazy. More people are dying from the normal flu than the H1N1.
I am just sick of hearing about it. It's the top story everyday on the local news. Why?
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Well, I agree it's overblown in terms of H1N1. But the flu in general is a big issue right now. We are saying high % of students missing school because of being diagnosed with the flu. Lots of schools have seen 20-30% of their population out of school and it's not even "flu season".
People were begging for a vaccine last spring. We didn't know how it was going to play out.
I wish I would have known it was overblown when I was lurching over the toilet the last two days.
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)
Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.
Hilarious read on H1N1 by Maddox...who is often offensive but very funny in my opinion:
I hope I get swine flu.
It's still a big deal. I know someone in the hospital in bad shape that has H1N1. Up where I live there are several cases of it. Overblown? Probably. I just got over the regular flu.
It was either New Hampshire or New Jersey where they made it mandatory for EVERYONE to get a shot. I never get the flu shot and probably wont.
I got my flu shot this morning.
My point is it's no worse than the regular flu.
Probably need to hold off judgement until April or so, flu typically peaks in March.

Read that link I posted earlier...the diagrams depicting the difference in the symptoms of each flu is a riot!
It's only worse in that a different group of people are more suseptable to it.
Odd that it really hits people who are generally more resistant to illness, who would be considered to have stronger immune systems.
Thusfar, it's really proving to be no worse than the normal flu. I'm not going to bother getting the new vaccine, just my yearly flu shot.
If you have a little one, are pregnant or have respitory ailments - I wouldn't hesitate to get the new vaccine. I'm none (aside from asthma) and not really worried about it. Do have concerns about my nieces and nephews - particularly the one year old and the 6 year old who has a host of other health issues, as well as my dad who has been having numerous health worries over the past year.
Originally Posted by cyfanatic

Although the symptoms are similar, the big difference is that H1N1 is poised to be able to be spread at a much rapid rate. Since seasonal flu has been around before, there is "herd immunity" that suppresses its transmission. There isn't this for H1N1.
That's why there is concern. I'll be fine if it turns out to not be as serious as predicted, but I'll still get the shot.
This couldn't have possibly warranted another thread, could it? How many H1N1 threads talking about this have we had so far?

Statistically the death rate is higher with H1N1. Yet it is worse.

Talladega, AL (April 17, 2011) – A week ago, the Lone Star state saw Casey Mears record a 26th place finish and put his GEICO team back in the Top 35, ensuring he would be locked into the Talladega race. Mears and the Germain Racing team arrived in Alabama looking to extend their run of positive happenings.
After sitting 24th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' opening practice session, Mears experienced a setback when qualifying saw him place the #13 GEICO Camry 40th on the starting grid. Patience is a virtue for the California native and race day would find it on full display.
On Sunday, the green flag turned the field loose for 188 laps of racing amid bright sunshine, cool temperatures and a slight breeze. Rolling off the starting grid from the 40th starting position, Mears wasted little time in making his presence felt. By the close of Lap 1, he had the #13 GEICO Camry in 34th, while Lap 5 saw him in 27th, quickly approaching the Top 25.
Pacing the high-banks of Talladega Superspeedway's 2.66-mile tri-oval is a task better tackled by two, so Mears quickly connected with Robby Gordon. Gordon would end up being Mears' drafting partner for the balance of the afternoon and they would spend their day slicing through the field picking up position after position. Things would later go awry, but for most of the race it was a mutually beneficial relationship that saw the pair reach the front of the field on multiple occasions.
On Lap 27, Brian Vickers found the wall and brought out the event's first caution flag of the day, allowing Mears to bring his #13 GEICO Camry to the attention of the Germain Racing pit crew. After outfitting Mears with four fresh tires and a tank of Sunoco racing fuel, they returned Mears to the racing surface where he restarted in the 17th position on Lap 32.
The dynamic duo of Mears and Gordon continued to collect positions and after cracking the Top 15 on Lap 103, Mears made his appearance in the Top 5 on Lap 107. As restrictor-plate racing goes, the #13 GEICO Camry would vacillate up and down the scoring monitor until Lap 130 saw Mears put the Gecko at the front of the field, taking the lead and collecting much needed bonus points.
The Mears-Gordon partnership proved to be productive and the pair were inside the Top 10 with just eight laps remaining in the race. It was then that Gordon made a decision to go it alone and pulled out of line and passed Mears, causing both cars to free-fall to 23rd position with just five laps left on the docket. Mears would re-engage Gordon and attempt to make up positions lost, but it was too late. Despite the setback, Mears still managed to hustle the #13 GEICO Camry to a 22nd place finish at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' second restrictor-plate race of the season. Most importantly, Mears' finish keeps the Germain Racing team in the Top 35 in the owner point standings.
"22nd is a decent finish, but it's frustrating knowing that we should've been in the Top 5," a visibly frustrated Mears exclaimed after climbing from the #13 GEICO Camry. "We weren't out there just racing today, we were out there competing for the win. We had a great car and I'm proud of this GEICO team for all of their hard work. The pit crew did a great job today and we did all we could to make it happen. Unfortunately, you just can't control what other people are going to do. But we had a really good day and it was nice to be able to take GEICO to the front of the field."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will take a weekend off before traveling to Richmond, VA, the weekend of April 30th.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the 3/4-mile D-shaped oval of Richmond International Raceway for the opening practice session at 12:00 PM (EDT) on Friday, April 29th. Qualifying will follow at 5:35 PM (EDT).
The Crown Royal presents the Matthew and Daniel Hansen 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Saturday, April 30th, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 7:30 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Video: Criticism, Questions About White House Calligraphy
WASHINGTON, D.C. - (WUSA9) - At over one million clicks, and counting, WUSA9's probe into the White House's $277,000 calligraphy staff has remained among our most popular stories for a week and has evolved into WUSA9.com's most read story ever.
Click here to see original story.
The story has been picked up by news organizations coast to coast and has also created a lot of strong opinions and questions.
In comments on WUSA9.com and Facebook, many supported the age old protocol of hand written White House invitations, while others expressed outrage at the cost.
Others had questions about how we put our story together and how we created a fake using Microsoft Word that fooled so many.
One of the most common questions was why we featured a George W. Bush era invitation in our comparison.
Although we created a fake Obama invitation too, the highest quality image we could obtain from the White House Historical Association was a Bush archive.
Confusion continued about which invitation was authentic. In the side-by-side image, the one on the right is the authentic invitation prepared for the White House staff.
The other was created on a WUSA9 station computer.
The same calligraphy department has been responsible for several administrations.
The first hand written invitation we could found goes back to 1801 under President John Adams.
Finally, on that $277,000 annual cost for the White House calligraphy department, many asked whether that includes printing and paper.
That's staff only.
According to a 2012 White House report to Congress, there are three presidential calligraphers earning a minimum of $85,953.00, with the chief calligrapher earning $96,725.00
The White House has not responded to our repeated requests for comment.

Ocean shipping: Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach August 2011 volumes show steep declines
September 15, 2011
August volumes for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach were both down compared to the same timeframe in 2010.
POLA imports—at 376,189 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU) were down 5.75 percent compared to last year but were ahead of July's 357,667. Exports came in at 184,231 for a 24.81 percent annual hike and topped July's 165,135 output. August empties at POLA were 162,749 TEU for a 25.03 percent decline, and the monthly total was 723,170 TEU, which represented a 5.32 decline from last year.
For the calendar year-to-date, POLA is up 0.40 percent at 5,178,723.
"Considering last August was best month of 2010 and the current economic conditions, it wasn't a bad showing," said POLA Director of Communications Philip Sanfield. "After eight months of 2011, we're essentially flat compared to 2010. And that's coming off a year of 16 percent growth. It's difficult to predict the next four months and what, if any, kind of Peak Season, we will see. Retailers appear to be somewhat cautious going into the holiday season. We'll know more as we see the September and October numbers."
The August edition of the Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates are pointing to a healthy holiday season based on positive cargo projections in the fall.
August POLB imports, which are primarily comprised of consumer goods, came in at 267,198 TEU, down 14.2 percent. This was down compared to July's 290,314 and June's 271,113 TEU and May's 275,100 TEU. POLB Exports, which are primarily comprised of raw materials, were down 3.8 percent at 121,277 TEU, which was behind July's 126,968 TEU, June's 126,588 TEU, and May's 130,161 TEU. Empties—at 147,454 TEU—were down 15.1 percent annually.
Total POLB shipments for August were 535,929 TEU, down 12.3 percent year-over-year. This was behind July's 572,926. For the fiscal year-to-date, POLB shipments are at 5,771,665, a 7.7 percent increase over 2010.

Scotty says since his wife was still under from her C-section he was the first one to see Aiden after he was cleaned up after the delivery. "One pound five ounces and we can joke about it now but he kind of looked like a little squirrel in a way. I mean he just didn't look like a baby should have."
Looking at that tiny infant, Scotty wondered if his newborn son would even make it through the day.
Aiden had a couple of surgeries and worked on gaining weight, while his family, including Scotty and Heather's older son, along with several friends got used to spending a lot of time in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit at Baptist.
Caring for a preemie is much different from caring for a healthy newborn so there are always a lot of questions. That's where a support system comes in. A March of Dimes program called NICU FAMILY SUPPORT is now helping families feel more comfortable about what they are experiencing, even the siblings.
Susan Clifford, Director of NICU Initiative for the March of Dimes says there are several options the hospital can choose from to help siblings. "They could do Saturday activities with crafts or food. Bring the children in; maybe let them make something that could be hung in their sibling's room. There are a lot of different things they can do."
Misty Irving is the NICU Family Specialist who heads up the program. She says they also offer care classes for those who might be helping out with the baby once he or she comes home. "We're trying to incorporate the families in the entire process of taking care of the babies. Not just taking care of the babies but including grandparents, siblings, extended family in the care of the infant."
