Delivered a 1 pound 14.8 ounce boy today. Please keep us in your prayers. Update: I first want to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. At the time of delivery I was 24 weeks 6 days. A few weeks ago I started to experience what was BH contractions. I went in to labor and delivery and was checked and the doctor showed no concerns. Two weeks later I posted about the polyp on my cervix (which I posed about)...my cervix was 5cm long and closed. I causes bleeding so I was convinced that bleeding was going to be a normal thing for me. On 11/13 at 11:00 p.m. I began experiencing again what I thought were BH contractions...they were the same as what I had experienced weeks before...so I also brushed it off and convinced myself that it would pass. Well after contracting from 11p.m to 5a.m. I finally decided that a hospital trip was a must. My contractions were 6mins then 4mins apart. When I got placed in a room which took no time at all, I was placed on the monitor to check for contractions and baby's heartbeat. I was told that they were Definetly contractions. The doctor came in...checked me and I was shocked to hear "5cm". My water had not broken.. however that changed once I vomited from the pain. I began leaking. I was transferred to a habit room within 15 minutes and check fifteen minutes after getting there "8cm". The baby had plans obviously we were not aware of. Shift changes iccured so the second nurse came in and took charge. I was is pain...and she quickly assessed all situations and called for an epidural becatse ny contractions were becoming more and more intense. The anesthesiologist cane and because I was in so much pain...it seemed like it took forever. The line was put in my spine... However my epidural never caught up with me because once I laid down the baby came. It happened so fast that I don't remember anything but hearing the words, "breech, push, wait, don't, push, push". I responded I'm not doing anything... He's crawling out or something. At 8:15 a.m. 11/14/12 ... they love of my life...my first born...ny son showed up...cried...and decided he was here to stay. Reasoning Behind My Early Labor: My nurse told me that it is believed that I had placenta abruption. Howeverthey did send my placenta to the lab to be tested and I will gain further info at my 6 week checkup. Moral of the Story: When in doubt regardless what anyone tells you or how anyone may makeyou feel go to the doctor and ask a million questions. And insist that they double check and tripple check and run any and all test they can. My Baby Now: We were both transfered to a hospital with a higher level nicu since he was born so early. He is testing two weeks ahead of where he should be testing, receiving his meds and doing well. I am also doing well as expected since I dont even feel like this is real. I'm walking around and talking and keeping my spirits high. Hope this answers everyones questions and again tank you for all the live and support. Picture of my baby UPDATE #2 I honestly thank you all for the amazing amount of live that you have expressed. Sometime it gets rough here but in the end we are all here for a common goal...to love and support eachother. And you are all amazing!!! All the positive energy continues to help my little man grow. Our Journey has only just begun. I never would have thought that I would be one of the mommies on the board that would be 1st. I've read all the stories and laugh now that I think of the birth board timeline post that we all laughed about. Welp... I'm that girl, mommy, sister, friend, cousin...that gets to join a very special club. For every prayer and blessing sent I have also sent one back. As I pray for my son I also keep you all in prayer as well. Please be healthy and stress free for your babies for stress is what I feel may have caused him to come so early. I will create an entirely different post about stress throught my short pregnancy. I love you all!!!! Xoxo

We had setup a Zimbra Server (6.40.5 Network Edition) test system. The Test users s where using Outlook 2010 on Win xp machines.
After a system crash (no backup available) I had setup a new zimbra server (7.1.0). Unfortunately some of the testusers had already used their test accounts for production purposes.
I have created new accounts for each user in zibra. All accounts have the same names and passwords as the 'old' users had. But unfortunately the GUID has changed.
Whenever I try to connect to zimbra I get message from the outlook conector that the 'old' and 'new' Account-IDs doesn't match. From zimbras point of view this is correct.
My problem is, how can I connect the users to the server with their old accounts (names and password)?. I dont want to loose the mails, contacts and appointments they still have available in outlook. How can I save the outlook content?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cath Kidston has made vintage-inspired floral prints her signature style, and whatever they adorn, from stationery to radios, we love her iconic designs at Cotswold Trading. Started in 1993 with a small shop in London's Holland Park, Cath Kidston's brand has rapidly spread across the globe, with shops from England to Japan. Her range includes products across gifts and homeware, including collaborations with other well-known British brands. The fresh, workable style exuded by her designs has ensured their wide appeal to people of all ages. Taking inspiration from the past, Kidston sought to move away from the modern minimalist look to something lighter, bolder and more fun. She uses not only tradition images like flowers but quirkier things like cars, cowboys and cherries to create a style that can't be imitated. Her patterns now symbolise for many the kitsch colourfulness of English fashion.
All of the Bridgewater pottery is made from cream-coloured earthenware at the factory in Stoke on Trent. Most of the production work is still done by hand, and all the pieces are individually hand-decorated, so every one is very slightly different – and the spongeware is always signed by the person who painted it.
Choose from a range to suit your style and colour preference - whether that's the colourful Polka Dot, the pretty Pink Hearts and Wallflower collections, the quintessential country Blue & Hen Border or the striking Black Toast, there's something to suit everyone. New for 2016 is the Hen & Toast range, ideal for that cosy country kitchen look.

Initially they had just one small store in St Margaret's, Twickenham, following which they developed a highly successful paint range. This then metaphormised into an acclaimed furniture collection. Their design advice was sought after and it naturally led onto Nick and David publishing three Grand Illusions books on decorating techniques and design inspiration.They also made guest appearances on BBC2's Home Front and various local BBC radio stations.
Today, Grand Illusions focuses almost exclusively on wholesale, with all products still either designed or selected by the duo and supplied to stockists across the UK and Ireland.

Orla Kiely's designs are a firm favourite with staff and customers at Cotswold Trading and her new seasonal collections are always eagerly awaited.

The Burden of Sympathy: How Families Cope with Mental Illness
by David A. KarpOxford University Press, 2000. 288 pages. Hardcover: $25.00
Review by David Seaman, NAMI Literature Committee
In this successor volume to his well-received Speaking of Sadness (1996), David Karp reports on a sociological study of mental-illness caregivers that is simultaneously interesting, informative, and somewhat frightening.
As in his prior book, Karp presents extended excerpts from transcripts of some 60 in-depth interviews with such caregivers-close relatives of severely ill persons with bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia-and then impressively analyzes and comments about them. The stories are both powerful and unsettling, and they reveal that the thankless caregiving task is very important, largely unappreciated, and frequently expensive, all-consuming, and lifelong. The ill too often deny their illnesses and fail to recover.
This sad commentary is viewed objectively by Karp, through scientific lenses, as a significant but rather hidden social phenomenon. The theoretical perspective guiding his analysis is called "symbolic interaction theory," which means that human beings, through communication with each other, define the meaning of what they are communicating about. Karp seeks "to illuminate the interpretive processes caregivers engage in as they define the character of their obligations to an ill parent, child, sibling, or spouse" (page 271).
Because of this somewhat detached approach, The Burden of Sympathy does not offer direct advice or present coping strategies; thus, some caregivers, reading it eagerly for immediate help, may be disappointed. Nevertheless, readers will learn that they are not alone in their anguish and that many others share their intense and complex love-hate feelings.
The general reader will learn that mental illness is still handled quite cruelly by our uncomprehending society and perhaps realize that major changes in the existing system are desperately needed. NAMI members already know that, but since the general public doesn't, solid books like this one can significantly help to spread the word

No-clamping zoneFebruary 9, 2010 by Jill W. Tallman
A good headset is a real plus in the cockpit. It protects your hearing and cuts down on the fatigue factor during any flight. On long trips, a comfortable, effective headset is a must. I muscled through my primary training with a cheap one that was probably just a little better than stuffing cotton in my ears. On my first trip to EAA AirVenture in the back of Editor in Chief Tom Haines' Bonanza, I realized that the cheapo wasn't going to do the job any longer. During my free time at Oshkosh, I went shopping and happily wore my new purchase back to Maryland. The cheapo was relegated to the closet; you never know when a passenger will need a headset, and it's fine in a pinch.
The winner of the 2010 Fun to Fly Sweepstakes Remos GX won't have that problem. Sennheiser USA has contributed two HMEC 460 noise-cancelling headsets that will go to the winner of the airplane in November.
When the box arrived from Sennheiser last week, it felt like Christmas all over again (I had to open them up and check them for you folks, didn't I?). Each headset is sleek and lightweight in design, weighing just 13.4 ounces. The 460 has NoiseGard active noise reduction technology powered by two double-A batteries. What, you didn't bring batteries and yours just died? No problem. The Remos has a XLR-3 connector located along with the conventional headset mic/audio plug behind each seat, so you can plug and play. The 460 also has audio cables that allow you to plug in compatible cellular telephones and portable audio devices.
Read a lot more about the 460 here, and then imagine the pleasure of traveling in comfort with one of these. And just think, you won't have to subject your passenger to the infamous El Cheapo headset!

Evolv RockStar Shoe Review
Evolv RockStar, $89
- Steep rock: 2.5 Star
- Face climbing: 3.5 Star
- Long routes: 3 Star
- Upper: Synthetic, lined
- Rubber: 3.7mm Trax XT-5
Is this how it starts? One week you feel embarrassed about wearing the ladies' RockStar in the company of your bros. The next you're wearing a jog bra and high-fiving everyone at the cliff. Despite sexual-identity crises, our female and male testers loved this "women's" shoe. Evolv designed the RockStar with a shallower heel cup, higher arch and lower volume than its other models, and although I never thought of myself as having feminine feet, this shoe fits me wonderfully. The front end of the RockStar is similar in shape to Five Ten's Anasazi Lace-up -- one of the best face-climbing shoes on the market -- so it's no surprise that the RockStar is focused and precise on small edges. The rear end is more relaxed, with a flatter heel cup and less aggressive slingshot, sacrificing some power but increasing comfort. The result: a value-priced, moderately stiff shoe that works great for face climbing, cracks and all-day routes. Evolv offers split pairs with different left and right sizing for a small extra charge.
+ Great face climbing and all-around shoe with "women's" fit for slimmer feet.
- Passive heel.

Yogyakarta is truly a unique city. Ruled by a king (sultan) whose lineage can be traced to centuries, this city offers plenty cultural and historical heritage. Here you can eat lesehan style without chairs. The rather sweet cuisine of Yogyakarta might surprise you first, but many people have been longing for good Javanese food after trying it once, so you might have the same experience.
This city offers many luscious delicacies. From bakpia cookies, wingko babat, to enting-enting kacang, visitors will be delighted to find there are so many delicious choices here in this town.
Packed with local and international tourists, Jogja is ready with its innumerable inns and hotels. Choose the place to stay according to your budget and your liking.
Jogjakarta is a small city. To illustrate this, for some Jogjakartans, 2 kilometers is considered very far. In the city, you can give your legs some exercise, ride andong/delman (cart carried by a/two horse/s), use the bus and public transportation, ride a taxi, or, try how it feels like to ride becak/pedicab. If you want to visit interesting sites within the city, it is best to move around on foot. If, however, you want to marvel at the grandiose of Borobudur Temple, for instance, it is best if you rent a car.
To make it easier, and shorter, you can take a plane from major cities such as Jakarta or Bali. From Jakarta and Bandung you can also go to Yogyakarta by train and the journey will take approx. 8-12 hours, though. Some travel agents or rental cars also offer trips to Yogya from big cities with a reasonable fee. The journey will take longer than 12 hours from Jakarta or Bandung.

Treatment of marine transport unfair to truckers: CTA boss
OTTAWA -- Canadian officials are urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide marine shippers safe harbor from strict new pollution rules -- and that's got the nation's top trucking advocate steamed.
One of the last major transport modes to come under North American clean air rules, lake freighters have been told by the EPA that they must wean themselves off of cheaper, dirty No. 6 "bunker" fuel by drastically reducing sulfur levels by 2015 and adopting engine emission controls by 2016.
The entire lake freight fleet would have to convert to low sulfur marine diesel fuel, which could contain about 1000 sulfur ppm, compared to the 17,000 ppm most ship engines currently burn.
Because of the high rate of cross-border runs on the Great Lakes, the rules would apply to most Canadian lake shipping lines as well.
The EPA projects its proposed regulations would eliminate 1.2 million tons of NOx emissions and cut particulate matter by about 143,000 tons by 2030 annually, plus prevent 8,300 premature deaths.
Great Lakes freight shippers are fuming over the plan and apparently have recruited an unlikely ally in lobbying for more relaxed rules: The Canadian government.
According to a report in this past weekend's Globe & Mail, the Canadian embassy in Washington has quietly asked the EPA to relax the pollution controls, arguing that they could harm trade.
It is asking that shippers continue to be allowed to burn bunker fuel if they agree to install smokestack scrubbers.
David Bradley, the CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance isn't impressed with Ottawa's two-tired stance on transport emissions compliance.
He says Ottawa's decision reflects a "disjointed and uncoordinated policy" and a "stubborn bias" in some official government circles favor certain freight transport modes over others.
The trucking industry, of course, converted to ultra low sulfur diesel (500 ppm to 12 ppm) in 2006 with minimal industry resistance. That's on top of EPA mandates between 2002 and 2010 to virtually eliminate NOx and particulate matter from modern diesel engines.
The Canadian Shipowners Association has also written to the EPA, asking that the industry be given until 2020 to comply.
Curiously, association president Bruce Bowie says freighters on "highway H2O" are the "greenest" form of transport because short-sea shipping takes trucks off of the road and reduces congestion.
It's arguable, though, whether that atones for burning fuel which has about 17,000 ppm more sulfur content than highway petroleum diesel and engines that emit significantly higher levels of NOx and carcinogen particulates than modern trucks' smog-free diesels.
Bradley finds the claim laughable.
"C'mon," he writes in an email to todaystrucking.com."(It's) like they have taken a page from the railways; and where did that get them?"
He says that despite the added costs of new mandated technology (which includes lost fuel efficiency), the trucking industry went through many of these regulatory changes years ago and survived -- mostly for the better.
Just as the CTA has done on behalf of truckers, he recommends that leaders from other modes -- rather than fight standard sector compliance -- should lobby government to introduce tax incentives or rebates aimed at accelerating the penetration of cleaner engines and fuel-efficient add-ons into the marketplace.

Punk RocketWritten by on January 14, 2003 A '64 Olds Makes Mecanical Music
This '64 Olds F-85 is owned by Fletcher Dragge, who plays guitar for the SoCal punk band Pennywise. While most of the killer rides we've seen owned by musical luminaries have been pro-built, blank-check expressions of wretched excess, this car is different. So is its owner. Rather than dropping the car off and waiting for the phone call when it's finished, Fletcher chose to do much of his own work. Sure, he called in assistance when he needed it, but Fletcher is more like the rest of us. He enjoys turning wrenches. He knows more about the inner workings of his Olds than most, and he finds great solace in dreaming up, designing, and creating the modifications himself. Simply put--he gets it.
Hot rodding, like music, is all about personal expression. Turning sheetmetal into high-performance sculpture is much like taking a simple melody and building it into a complete song. In this vein, we can see this car as a stripped-down, smoothed out, high horsepower punk rock tune. There's not many frills or luxuries, and trust us when we tell you this car is driven hard on a regular basis. Hard driving is what it was built for, and Fletcher is only too happy to oblige.
The car has not always been so pretty, and how Fletcher came to possess it is a story unto itself. Fletcher explained it to us.
"I found this car in Palmdale, California. It's a high desert community that's known for not having rust or rot due to its dry climate. I went out and saw the car, and while I was actually thinking about getting a '67 Chevelle, this Olds was even more what I was looking for. I love the Buick, Olds, and Pontiac stuff since it's different, and this car was a really clean example."
"While I was test driving it, the teenage owner kept saying 'I don't want to sell this car' and I told him that I didn't want to buy it, if he didn't want to sell it. I know what it's like to have a car you love, and it was obvious the kid was way into the car. But, he also told me his Dad told him he had to sell it--there was no question. So, I assured him I'd take really good care of it...I tried to reassure him that if he had to sell the car, at least I could give it a good home, and know I'd make it into the cool ride he knew it could be. He agreed, and I bought the car."
The drivetrain was ailing, and the previous owner made the deal even sweeter. "The original 330 had a cracked block, and the owner and his Dad said they didn't want me to take the car that way. They offered to install a 455 from a later Delta 88 they had, and that's the engine I drove it home with. It's still the same engine in the car today, but we've been through it since then."
In fact, the crew at Hot Rod Performance in Torrance, California, has been instrumental in guiding Fletcher toward his goals. The talented crew at HRP shared the needs of a strong Olds with Fletcher, and worked with Mondello Performance Products to secure the necessary oiling system mods, camshaft, MSD ignition, and Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads the 455 needed to gain the 470 horses he was after. Backed by a beefy Turbo 350 transmission (built by Del Amo Transmission, also in Torrance), the car now gained the cooks to back the looks. Thanks also go to Lucky Costa at Auto Electric (again, in Torrance, next door to HRP) for rewiring the car from head (lights) to tail (lights). Although it wasn't pretty, it was straight, and Fletcher took to enjoying the newfound power.
Unfortunately, a block-long burnout resulted in a loss of control and the car ended up hitting a house! Rather than give up, Fletcher decided to jump in, and do as much of the repair himself as possible.
"I had a friend weld a new quarter panel in place to repair the damage, and I spent the next two months learning the finer points of bodywork. I sanded for eight hours a day for six weeks straight. It's therapeutic, and I really connected with the car."
Most of the factory trim was removed, and what was kept was restored. The car was sprayed by Scott Benowski in a '98 Corvette silver tone, and the bumpers were re-chromed. Once back together, Fletcher re-focused on the suspension.
"One of the first things I did after I bought it was lower the car, and I loved the look. I wanted to go even lower, so we teamed up a narrowed dropped spindle and custom coil package up front, and got some custom Eibach springs for the rear which, were also cut further to get the stance where I wanted it. Now it looks the way I want it to, and I've got clearance to turn the wheels fully without worrying about ripping into the tire sidewall."
Matched pairs of KYB gas shocks were added front and rear, and the dropped spindles provided a home for a modern front disc brake upgrade. Edelbrock rear control arms (both upper and lower) were added to control the 10-bolt rear axle, which has also been upgraded. After snapping an axle, the housing got treated to a Posi-Traction unit, 3.90:1 gears, and a new pair of Tom's axles for insurance against breakage. The wheels and tires are timeless and classic. American's vaunted Torq-Thrust II wheels live up front (16x7s with 4.5-inch backspacing) wearing Continental 225/50-16s, and another pair out back (16x8s with 4.750-inch backspacing) with Michelin 235/60-16s.
The interior was the last portion of the car to get done, and Fletcher farmed this portion of the build to Willy's Interiors, again in Torrance. He consulted with the upholsterers at length to get the look he was after.
"I really wanted a vintage style to it. The dash of the Olds has a great '60s feel, and I didn't want to lose that. I needed seats with more support. I'm a big guy and the stock seats weren't cutting it. I found some Honda Prelude seats that fit me better, and I wanted them upholstered along with the rest of the interior. The material has the look I was after, and after re-covering the seats and door panels with it, I'm very happy with the results."
Interestingly, this rocker has no stereo in his hot rod! He explained that the song of the 455 was plenty for him, and when driving this car it's always playing his favorite song.
What does the future hold for this slick '64? "I think I'm ready for more power. I'd like to supercharge it. I read PHR all the time, and I've seen how far the centrifugal blowers have come. That's what I want next."
Since no kit exists for adding a centrifugal to an Olds, Fletcher is talking to the HRP crew about adapting a universal kit. That sure sounds like a cool tech story to us. Look for it on the pages in the future. Like other Olds fans, Fletcher needs to be different and there are no compromises to his performance desires.
For a guy who probably didn't need to get dirty to have the car of his dreams, we've got full respect for Fletcher. He needed to build as much of his own car as he could so he could call it "his" car. We like that, and we know our readers can look at the dirt under their own fingernails and relate just fine.

Which mount for a 150mmf/8 refractor
Posted 07 June 2009 - 12:50 PM
At this moment I am using a EQ6 Pro (pier mounted) as a mount for my telescopes. For small telescopes this mount is rock steady.
But a 150mm f/8 refractor (12kg without acc.) is a different story. The EQ6 is not 'overloaded' but at its maximum due too the long tube.
Which mount (reasonably priced) would be needed to make this big refractor also rock steady ? Would a G11 be enough ?
Thanks for your advice.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 01:24 PM
But to answer your question I have an 152mm AR6 f/8 which I use on both a LXD650 (believe its comparable to your EQ6) and a G11 and it does fine on either. However I do use a 14" saddle and dovetail which I suspect a similar setup would benefit you also.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 01:27 PM
I've been using G11 for 6" f/8 refactor, about 20Kg fully loaded. For visual use, it is stable enough to me. I am looking for relatively portable but beefier mount, Takahashi EM-400, 10 Micron Astro Technology GM2000 for now.
I need two 21 lb counter weight to balance the scope.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 03:58 PM
Posted 07 June 2009 - 06:05 PM
What scope is that? Apo or Achro? doublet or triplet?
Posted 07 June 2009 - 06:44 PM
I never thought I would see a setup that made the G-11 look so small.
To add my answer for the OP: I feel a pier mounted Atlas could do the job. The tripod is the weakest link in that system and you have already removed that problem. My old pier-mounted Atlas easily carried gear up to its rated capacity for visual work.
A G-11 is simply "more better"
Posted 07 June 2009 - 11:58 PM
Herbert, the scope is William Optics FLT152 f/8 TMB/LZOS triplet.
Originally, I was planning to get Losmandy Titan for the scope. Someone asked mount for TEC160ED on CN. A few people mentioned that G11 is OK for visual use. So I canceled Titan and got G11 instead
Posted 08 June 2009 - 08:13 AM
Even my 6" f/8 AP seems a bit undermounted on a CGE. I use the C14 on the CGE all the time and feel that it is pretty good, but I use it with the legs all the way down.
When I put the 6" f/8 on it, I feel like the mount is not hearly as rigid with the big refractor. I think the problem is with the tripod.
For this reason and this reason alone I would perhaps recommend the Losmandy. I think that the tripod is perhaps a bit stiffer when used at higher mounting positions as required with a big refractor for compfortbale viewing at zeneith.
If you can find one, the old Meade LXD 750s are PERFECT for a big 6" f/8 refractor. Of all the mounts I have used for big refractors, it is without question the most stable (though I only use it visually).
Attached Files
Posted 08 June 2009 - 12:18 PM
The Vixen style dovetails can flex a lot between the tube rings. This is often the weakest link with bigger OTAs on the EQ6.
Posted 08 June 2009 - 02:33 PM
If I lowered the legs down about 1/2 way, it was MUCH better, but then I couldn't get to the eyepiece. If it was the dovetail, I would have thought that lowering the tripod would not make a difference.
Even my CGE is not all that rigid when used with a 6" refractor. It is just hard to get the mount stiff. Focusing will induce long oscillations.
The LXD 750 is the best mount I have used with a big refractor that was affordable, though the OP may not have one in his market.
Behind that, I think the Losmandy tripod is a bit stiffer than the CGE, so that would be my second choice for a big refractor.
Then the CGE.
Only as a last resort would I put a 6" f/8 on an Atlas.
But that is me. I am now used to being able to keep the tripod high enough to sit in a lowered observer's chair and focus at high powers while the telescope holds quite still. I could never get both with the Atlas.
So, to be fair, somewhat depends on how stiff you like your mount. If one can tolerate some wiggling then an Atlas might do fine. In the end was too much wiggle for me though.

That older AP scope is extremely light for a 6 inch refractor, the WO/LZOS scope could be a good 10 pounds heavier.
Posted 09 June 2009 - 08:35 AM
Recentlly finished off the "Re-model" with a new Feathertouch 3035B.
And yes, the scope is fairly light for a 6", but it all adds up. With rings, dovetail, Telrad, Feathertouch, diagonal, and 31mm Nagler, it all tips the scales at exactly 30 lbs.
And to the OPs question, because the weigth is all out there at the ends, if you start it shaking, dampening can be a bit longer than I like even on the CGE.
I think it is the CGE tripod. When I raise it, it shakes. I can use the C14 and it is pretty solid, but when I use the C14 on the mount, I use it with the legs fully retracted.
The Losmandy tripod is stiffer. I prefer the CGE folding legs for convenience (and it works well enough for the C14), but I realized that for the 6", it was not as stable as I would have liked. When I started looking for a mount, I actually was looking for a Losmandy G11, but the LXD 750 presented itself and I jumped on it. As it turns out, I get why Meade made this mount. It is perfect for the telescopes they put on it (Meade 152ED and Meade 178ED, which I think would have been pushing it for this mount).
So, TRIPOD STIFFNESS is the critical area here.
Another option would be to go to an older Astro-Physics cable-stayed pier. These things as it turns out were pretty stiff. Roland Cristen didn't make "Pretty" equipment back then, but he still made GREAT equipment.
So, my advice is because big refractors tend to be used a lot at high powers (though I use Buffy more as a "Rich Field" telescope), investing in a really ridig tripod becomes more important for really satifying use.

Nice. Looks great with the new focuser.

Great job! Never should have sold mine, best $1400 I ever spent, but it's in Australia now.
Posted 09 June 2009 - 11:01 AM
So in the end, spending another $1000 on powder coating and a new focuser seemed worth it for a scope I plan on keeping the rest of my life.
I learned from your mistake!!!

Posted 09 June 2009 - 03:02 PM
If the scope is shorter than a 6" f/8 and you keep the load light (no 31mm Naglers), and you don't mind sitting on the ground or with your observer chair fully lowered, and don't mind a bit of wiggling, or only use the scope at fairly low powers, you might get away with it.
This is because the Tripod is the weak link, and if you can use it with the legs lowered, and the scope is less than maybe 20 lbs all up, you mignt be OK.. The CG5 actually uses a tripod similar to the Atlas I think, so I could see putting a fast, light 6" refractor on it.
Again, depends on how tall you need it to be and how heavy it is overall.
As an example, I used a Vixen 140 NA on a CG5 and didn't even have the steel legs (though I had the very stiff and super-light Vixen HAL 110s on it). The Vixen 140 weighed a bit over 20 lbs. all up with rings, diagonal, Telrad, and 35mm Panoptic. Now this was not the most stable platform, but I used the Vixen 140 for its amazingly sharp wide field capabilities, and because of that, I could tolerate a bit of shake. Worked quite well for me actually. I would think that on a modern CG5 with heavy steel legs it would be a bit better. That being said, I never used this telescope over 160x, and even at that power, it was shaky.
So, a great deal depends on the scopes length and weight.
Posted 09 June 2009 - 05:58 PM
Any chance a CG-5 GT can do the job with any 6" refractor like a faster/shortest tube one? (contemplated next project). Thanks.
I have a 152mm AstroZap mounted on a CG5 for visual use. The scope along with 2" diagonal and 1# ep weighs about 25#.
I wanted to keep the legs retracted for stability and less tripping hazard in the dark, so I built an extension from 4" pvc. I had to use turnbuckles and cable to stiffen it up. Dampening time is less than 3 seconds at 200x

Eddgie, I guess I can live with some wiggles. The reason I asked is that I already have a CG-5 GT and want to utilize it fully with a C8, a 102ED and a 6" short refractor. I better start saving up for the 6.
Don, great setup you have there, nice touch on the extension tube (so I don't have to sit on the ground as Eddgie says), will follow that lead, maybe have a heavy one fabricated to help dampen the shakes. 3 seconds at 200x is very acceptable I think.
Tom, no doubts about the G-11, thanks all.

I have always been pleasantly surprised at how well the channel tripod works on my GM-8. It's much more stable than I thought it would be and carried my TMB130 with similar results.
Posted 10 June 2009 - 12:51 PM
I found that a simple weight counterpoise to the finder balanced the OTA wonderfully in all DEC orientations, which helps reduce vibration. The weight also biased the OTA forward a bit, making meridian viewing much more comfortable. Adding the "pizza pie plate" accessory holder stiffened the tripod up further. Using vibration pads on hard surfaces was icing on the vibration cake.
This combo was very satisfying to use visually and I miss it.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Al Horford scored the go-ahead basket with
5.9 seconds remaining, capping a fourth-quarter comeback that lifted the
Atlanta Hawks to a 103-102 decision over the Milwaukee Bucks from the Bradley
Both Horford and Jeff Teague finished with 23 points for the Hawks, who
trailed by 10 points with 6 1/2 minutes remaining before outscoring Milwaukee
by a 20-9 margin the rest of the way. Horford added 11 rebounds on the night,
and Atlanta also received big efforts from Devin Harris and Josh Smith to
notch its fourth victory in five games.
Harris poured in 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting, with Smith pulling down 13
rebounds to go along with 15 points.
J.J. Redick scored 16 points in his Milwaukee debut, but the trade-deadline
acquisition's presence wasn't quite enough to prevent the slumping Bucks from
a third straight defeat and seventh setback in their last eight tilts.
Ersan Ilyasova paced Milwaukee with 19 points, with Larry Sanders amassing 12
points and 19 rebounds in a losing cause.

neighborhood highlights
Must-See Lower Manhattan
by Colleen Clark and nycgo.com staff, 04/17/2013
Photo: Will Steacy
Stone Street
This stretch of cobblestone, said to be the City's oldest paved street, is the setting for impeccably restored brick buildings full of vintage charm that hide all manner of establishments. Our favorites? One is Harry's Cafe and Steak. A maze of rooms connects the audible power-buzz of its subterraneansteak house and wine cellar to the martini-sipping crowds in the lively bar. Mexican cantina Mad Dog & Beans is an ideal drinking spot, with its vast selection of tequilas, walls covered in old barn wood and vintage photos of Pancho Villa lit by Edison bulbs. Other lively post-work scenes include Beckett's Bar & Grill, where investment bankers crowd the sidewalk seating to devour burgers and sweet potato fries, washed down with beer. But, really, there's no need to choose. Our approach is to eat our way up one side of the street and down the other. The area also includes Smörgås Chef, Stone Street Tavern, Adrienne's Pizzabar, Financier Patisserie, Ulysses' Folk House and Vintry Wine & Whiskey.

Miami, Florida
To help plan your next trip to Miami, we asked Natacha Napotnik, Concierge of Four Seasons Hotel Miami, to share recommendations for experiencing the very best of the city's vibrant nightlife, beaches, strong coffee and cultural connections to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Shopping in Miami
Be sure to visit local boutiques like Alchemist, The Webster and Curve. If you're looking for more square footage to roam, try the Bal Harbour Shops and The Village of Merrick Park.
Art showcase
One of the top markets for Latin American art, Miami is a hotbed of galleries and exhibition spaces as well as host to the annual Art Basel Miami Beach.
Miami's Wynwood area and the Design District are the best places to see cutting-edge works year-round by top local artists like Glexis Noboa and Herman Bas, whose work is also displayed at the Hotel. For less cutting-edge art, explore the upscale galleries of Coral Gables.
Sip and stroll
Miami Beach's Lincoln Road is a vibrant, pedestrians-only street, perfect for people-watching as you sip a mojito, Miami's quintessential cocktail, at one of its many fun, outdoor restaurants. Or try Nespresso for Miami's version of the Spanish cortadito, an espresso mixed with a small amount of milk.
The diverse fashion styles of South Beach are on full – and sometimes bare – display as amblers enjoy the breeze-cooled tropical air along Lincoln Road each evening.
Dine in
Start the evening with a drink poolside at the Hotel's Bahia. For dinner, make your way to the seventh floor where you'll find EDGE, one of Miami's best restaurants and known for its Latin-Asian fusion cuisine. Begin with the Lobster Cocktail and order one of the signature dishes (Corvina with Baby Cucumber, Green Apple and Celery Leaf Yellow Pepper Sauce) for an entrée.
Downtown culture
The stunning Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, designed by Argentine architect Cesar Pelli, is home to the exciting Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera and New World Symphony. Before the performance, get a bite to eat at Sugarcane in Wynwood or at The River Seafood and Oyster Bar, just a few short blocks from the Hotel.
Cuban beat
For a taste of old Havana, Miami-style, sample a little Calle Ocho and Miami's Cuban exile community. Have a traditional palomilla (steak) at Versailles, the legendary restaurant, modelled on the Havana original, with its ornate etched glass and small, power-packed cups of Cuban-style espresso.
Get outdoors
Discover your own tropical island at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, a gorgeous, palm-fringed beach at the far end of Key Biscayne. Follow a late afternoon swim or bike ride – see the Concierge to arrange one – with a rum drink and a casual meal at the Lighthouse Café, next to the Cape Florida Lighthouse, Florida's oldest surviving building. The setting could not be better.
Miami nightlife
Ever-trendy Miami Beach is famous for its after-hours fun in clubs like Set and Live, but check with the Concierge at Four Seasons for what's-hot/what's-not when you are in town. When in Miami do like the Miamians do and head to the clubs to rub shoulders with celebrities like Bono and Mick Jagger, and dance to the most vibrant new beats. DJs from around the world will perform the hottest trends in music and will have you dancing until the wee hours. Up early in the morning? Head to David's Café on Collins Avenue. After a fresh mango juice and café cubano y tostada you will be ready to hit the gorgeous beach and enjoy the sunshine.
11 Comments about Miami, Florida
Please I need to contact Ms. Marisa on the Concierge Area.
Could you please provide me her e-mail
Thank you
Thank you all for responding. I would be delighted to provide my personal recommendations outside of our fabulous restaurants at the Four Seasons. So lets start with one of my all time personal favorites; Meat Market on Lincoln Road, South Beach. Great people watching, fantastic food, and dont forget their signature cocktails especially the Siam Square. Stay tuned for more top Miami suggestions. In the meantime, Feel free to ask away….
Please can you email me we- are staying with you this coming weekend and need to ask some advice.
Thank you
Fleur Nisbet
Check out the great Latin/ska/fusion sounds of local band Araka. They play at several clubs around South Beach including Jazid.
Wheres the Miami restaurant recommendations then?
Try Talavera for Mexican in Coral Gables on Ponce de Leon. Also recommend Joey's in the Wynwood district and the Pearl Restaurant in South Beach at Ocean Avenue and 1st.
Edge steakhouse in the hotel is fantastic but so are several restaurants within walking distance on the Brickell area. The area were the FS Miami is located is fun and pedestrian friendly.
Concierge Recommendations – Where are the dining recommendations in this article?
Miami, Florida
Having just returned from a lovely stay at the Four Seasons Miami, I can assure all of your readers that the recommendations of Natacha are absolutely spot-on and must be followed at all costs. She was a font of knowledge on many subjects during our stay. We enjoyed eating at EDGE Miami and one other restaurant which she recommended: Talavera in Coral Gables. The juevos rancheros were excellent at Sunday brunch and we had a delicious dinner there too. Have Natacha call ahead for you to book a table in order to avoid the wait. Highly recommend the Four Seasons Miami — fantastic pool, spa, and fitness room, not to mention the excellent service.
Any ideas for "dine out"? Based on the focus if the article, I can't believe you only name two hotel restaurants, both f which are in the hotel.
To be fair, the article addresses sightseeing suggestions, not specifically restaurants. I count at least six restaurant recommendations, 5 of which are not in the hotel. Considering this is an article on the Four Seasons' website, I can't fault them for including their own restaurant(s) in the article.
I second her recommendation of David's Cafe – the perfect place to grab breakfast and nurse your hangover. Calle Ocho, which she mentioned, is also a great, local recommendation – even if Versailles isn't your style, there are some fantastic Cuban and Mexican restaurants in the area.

Thursday News, November 8
Gehlen and Spalding Catholic Schools Continue Merger Talks
(Le Mars) -- Nearly 350 people turned out last evening at the Randy Readon Family Gym at Gehlen Catholic School to hear more about the plans to consolidate the Spalding Catholic High School with the Gehlen Catholic high school. Plans for the merger are not finalized and there still could be a possibility that the two northwest Iowa Catholic schools may remain separate, but according to Father Kevin Richter, president of Gehlen, the two communities are coming together.
Listen to
Richter says the Gehlen community is working with the Spalding community to incorporate some of Spalding's colors, and even the logo to help them feel welcome and to retain Spalding's identity.
Listen to
Dennis Schmid is a board member from the Spalding Catholic school. He says a major reason for the two communities having a smooth transition is due to Father Kevin Richter. Richter, is a Spalding Catholic School alum and a former teacher. Schmid says the fact that Richter knows the people from both communities, and is well respected in both communities, has made a big difference.
Listen to
The Spalding official says there remains some specific details with the merger yet to be determined, including logistics concerning the number of students that will come to Gehlen and even transportation issues. But he says the Spalding people are accepting the idea. Here is the timeline for the Gehlen Catholic and Spalding Catholic schools coming together. On November 14th there will be another working meeting. December 6 will be a joint board meeting, and a draft summary is being planned to be presented to Bishop Walker Nickless by December 15th.
Oliver To Serve 90 Days For Shooting At Bicyclists

|Commissioners address GOCO
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Great Outdoors Colorado will be very familiar with northeastern Colorado as the Phillips County commissioners announced Thursday, Feb. 28 at their month-end meeting that they have signed three letters of intent for GOCO grants.
In total, Phillips County will be seeking nearly $480,000.
Holyoke's school district sought out the help of the county commissioners to apply for $350,000 for the district to completely renovate the current high school track.
This marks the third year in a row that the commissioners have attempted to obtain a GOCO grant on behalf of Re-1J for the purpose of constructing a new track. Last year GOCO only funded nine of the dozens of projects that were applied for, and the Holyoke track missed the cut, as it was the 10th project.
The City of Holyoke is attempting to secure $110,000 for improvements to be made at the Holyoke baseball facility.
The Town of Haxtun is also seeking grant money in the amount of $19,152 to make improvements to their baseball field. They are looking to add topsoil to the infield; install a fence; and add a bat and helmet rack, bench backs, a set of bases and equipment to drag the field.
The commissioners have also had a handful of resolutions, leases, licenses, applications and purchases they have handled recently.
Commissioners reported that they passed a resolution prohibiting the use of tobacco and tobacco products on county property and inside of county vehicles.
It was also reported that Gale Wiebers and Pam Struckmeyer have both been appointed to three-year terms on the fair board. Commissioners appointed Doug Larson to be the community representative for Haxtun's Chamber on the fair board as well.
Land use was also discussed at length during the meeting as a few organizations have applied for permits and leases for Phillips County land.
The county is in the process of leasing the mineral rights of the landfill to Blackwolf Land Services, LLC on behalf of Omimex Petroleum. As of now, the commissioners are working on changes to the initial plan before moving forward.
National Wind, LLC has submitted two conditional use permit applications on behalf of NECO Wind, LLC for a wind farm that will be in Logan and Phillips counties. The second permit is for the transmission line to collect the electricity. There will be a public hearing later in the month to consider the application.
If approved, the wind farm will be located southwest of Haxtun and probably contain between 15 and 17 towers.
Other business
In other business in the month of February, commissioners:
—agreed to contribute $150 for Holyoke High School and Haxtun High School post prom expenses.
—approved the purchase of a 1994 Ford 675E backhoe, equipped with all attachments for $22,000 from Evan Consalvos to be used by all three districts.
—approved an ambulance license for East Phillips County Hospital District for a year, beginning April 1.

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - A layup by Anthony Ireland with 5.9 seconds
remaining proved to be the game-winner as the Loyola Marymount Lions stunned
the Santa Clara Broncos, 60-58, in the quarterfinals of the West Coast
Conference Tournament at Orleans Arena.
Ireland finished with a team-best 23 points for the ninth-seeded Lions (11-22)
who are currently enjoying their first three-game win streak of the season.
Ireland shot just 1-of-6 behind the 3-point line on the night, but made up for
that lack of accuracy by registering seven steals. Ashley Hamilton was
credited with 13 points and nine boards, followed by Nick Stover with 11
points off the bench.
The fourth-seeded Broncos (21-11) were paced by Kevin Foster who tallied 23
points for his squad, but he shot a mere 3-of-11 beyond the arc and 5-of-19
from the floor overall, not to mention suffering seven turnovers. Marc
Trasolini dropped in 10 points in defeat.
Santa Clara shot a mere 37.9 percent from the floor through the first 20
minutes of action, yet that was still good enough to lock the score at 34-34
at the break.
Things began to get interesting late in the second half when a pair of free
throws by Foster gave the Broncos a 58-57 edge with 26.8 seconds left in
regulation. Ireland then walked the ball up the floor and broke to the basket
to convert a clutch layup.
On the ensuing inbounds play, Hamilton fouled Brandon Clark unintentionally in
the backcourt and that sent the reserve to the charity stripe with 4.2 seconds
remaining. Unfortunately, Clark missed the front end of a one-and-one, Ireland
grabbed the rebound and consequently knocked down one of two at the stripe in
order to extend the margin to two points.
The Broncos still had two seconds left to change the outcome, but Foster's
heave from half court missed the mark.
With the win the Lions, who had dropped 14 straight conference games en route
to the WCC Tournament, now advance to the semifinals on Saturday night where
they will go up against top-ranked Gonzaga.

Alex Gordon recalled from Omaha, David DeJesus placed on 15-day D.L.
The Royals have placed outfielder David DeJesus on the 15-day Disabled List with a right thumb sprain and recalled outfielder Alex Gordon from Triple-A Omaha. Gordon is expected to be in uniform for tonight's game in New York against the Yankees.
Gordon, 26, was hitting .315 (82-for-260) with 20 doubles, three triples, 14 home runs, 44 RBI and 59 runs scored in 68 games for Omaha and was recently a Pacific Coast League All-Star. He also played seven games in a rehab assignment to begin the season with High A Wilmington, batting .235 with three doubles and nine walks in 7 games. The converted third baseman hit .194 (6-for-31) with a double, home run, RBI and 5 runs scored in 12 games for the Royals prior to being optioned to Omaha following the Royals' May 2 game at Tampa Bay.
