All is going well, the only thing i discovered is, that on using cardDAV with the apple address book i see only the group "All <companyname>". On the iphone there is no problem, I can see all created adressbooks / groups.
Another strange behaviour is, when i am creating a new group in address book, this is appearing on the iphone, but not in Zimbra?
Shared adressbooks are not displayed on iPhone and address book.
Maybe you have a hint for me what to check? Do I miss something?

The StrongWomen Program was developed by Miriam Nelson, Ph.D, associate professor at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. The Program is based upon years of research on how strength training and nutrition improve the health of women of all ages.
"Strength is a critical factor in living healthier, more active lives. Our research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms and increases flexibility and strength," states Dr. Nelson. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and very active women.

Beyond The Thunder is a documentary film that pays homage to AC/DC and the influence they had on culture around the globe. It reportedly shows the common bond that ties fans together. The latest clip released in Adweek shows how advertising agencies utilized AC/DC's iconic music to give brands their :30 second spot even bigger legs.
The documentary has already won acclaim even though AC/DC has not responded to its release. The producers reportedly seek a partnership and permission with AC/DC's management for a world-wide commercial release.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Russell Westbrook posted his sixth career
triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Oklahoma
City Thunder rallied in the fourth quarter to take a 109-99 victory over the
Milwaukee Bucks.
Kevin Durant added 30 points, eight boards and five assists to help the
Thunder bounce back from a Friday loss to Minnesota. Serge Ibaka chipped in
with 16 points and recorded eight of Oklahoma City's 12 blocks.
The Bucks, losers in five of their last six, were led by Ersan Ilyasova's 29
points and 14 rebounds. Milwaukee, though, shot just 37.8 percent for the
contest, with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis combining to shoot 6-for-30.

Item # CPG0128
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Chainrings in stock than that.View Similar Products
Campagnolo Super Record-11 Inner Chainring $0.00
Just as with the Campagnolo 11-speed outer chainrings, you should upgrade to the Campagnolo 11-speed inner chainring when you make the shift to 11 (speed), or when you wear out the inner ring on your existing 11-speed crankset.
As with the outer rings, it is not a 10-speed ring re-labeled, 11-speed is it's own thing. The teeth are 0.4mm narrower. The beautiful finish is the result of a new anodization process that is much stronger and lasts four-times longer than the old finish.
These 11-speed rings will work with most current 10-speed Campagnolo cranks. The two exceptions are Centaur and Veloce cranks, where the spacing is different due to the fact that both cranks utilize narrower stamped chainrings. 11-speed rings are machined.
You might be tempted to stick with your current 10-speed rings to save a little cheddar. Campy can't guarantee that your shifting will work with the older 10-speed rings. The slight change in the width of teeth could result in chain-suck. And the law of chain-suck is it happens when you need it least.
The Campagnolo 11-speed inner chainring is available in two sizes: 39 teeth in 135mm bolt circle diameter (standard) and 34 teeth in 110bcd (compact).

Older Chain Ring Generation
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Make sure you pay attention to the generation of chain ring you are replacing. The rings being sold here are the older Campagnolo p/n FC-SR-034. The more recent 11 speed SR (2011-2014) use FC-SR-134. The difference is that with the new ring, the chain ring bold screws directly into the inner ring. With the older ring, you need a two-part bolt.
Hello, I have recently acquired a set...
I have recently acquired a set Campagnolo Super Record 11 speed 52/36. I would like to know if it is possible to buy the Campagnolo 34 Inner Chainring to put it in the set that I have. I am planning long mountain rides and would prefer to be equiped with the 34 inner chainring.
Thank you in advance. Hope to hear from you soon.
I currently ride a 2013 Campy Super Record...
I currently ride a 2013 Campy Super Record 11 speed (11x25) cassette. Can I put on a (12x29) without having to put on a longer chain or adjust the derailleurs? What's the largest cassette I can put on without having to put on a longer chain or adjust the derailleurs?
Many thanks,
Hi Nardo
I too have the Campy Super Record and have just put a 11-29 cassette on and yes you will need a longer chain.
On the big chainring, the 27 and 29 cogs slam into the cage on the derailleur . You can get away with it if you can remember to go onto the smaller chainring when climbing steep and only engage 27 and 29 when it gets 15% to 30% grade.

I use the Zimbra to pick up my e-mails from the web. Until our most recent upgrade to 7.1, this was a seamless and simple process. Now that we have switched to 7.1, I encounter two issues.
One issue is that the initial list of incoming e-mails was rendered in an illegible light colored font. Previously, the shell and font were more attractive and more legible. Now the shell is green, and the font of the incoming e-mails was not legible. I applied a partial fix for this problem, by switching the style to "smoke".
Other styles I tried did not lessen the problem, and in some cases worsened the problem. With "smoke" I have a workable solution, but would prefer my old interface appearance.
The second issue persists. When I open an e-mail, I no longer get the simple black font that I am used to seeing. I instead see a light, illegible green font.
I have to run my cursor over the e mail to read the e-mail in a proper font.
This is not a good solution. I have hunted for a settings button to allow me to
set the font of the view on incoming e mails, to no avail.
How do I reset the system to give me the simple, workable e-mail system
I had with Zimbra prior to our upgrade to 7.1?
best, Robert

A close race for District Two's Congressional seat came to an end on Election Day.
Republican incumbent Steve Southerland won with just more than 53 percent of the district's vote.
Southerland now says he's ready for a few days rest.
"It's relief. It's a lot of work, the campaign is. I'm ready for a few days off. My daughter's home from college, we'll spend a few days together before going back to Washington," said Southerland.
The congressman says he'll return to Washington D.C. on Tuesday.
He plans to focus on the government's budget.

|Work begins on Lincoln County augmentation project
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 05 September 2013 16:32
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Work began last week to convert 19,000 acres of irrigated land in Lincoln County into an augmentation project to enhance streamflows in Republican and Platte River Basins.
Irrigation on the tract will be retired with groundwater being used to augment stream flows first in the Republican Basin, then the Platte Basin.
The $18 million construction project includes installing about seven miles of pipeline and the reworking of the well field to pump the water.
Merryman Excavation of Woodstock, Ill., won the pipeline contract with a low bid of $12,416,800.
Nate Jenkins, assistant manager at the Upper Republican Natural Resources District, said pipe will begin arriving next week.
Sargent Irrigation of Grant began work in the well field last week, Jenkins said. Sargents won the well field work with a low bid of $5,880,254.
Jenkins said contractors must have the project substantially completed by Dec. 31, 2013, and operational by March, 2014.
Jenkins said those dates are particularly important if the Department of Natural Resources puts water restrictions in place in the Republican Basin again in 2014.
If that happens, Republican NRDs must submit a plan to DNR by March, outlining how they plan to stay in compliance with the terms of the Republican River Compact Settlement.
The URNRD already owns and operates an augmentation project near Rock Creek, north of Parks in Dundy County.
Water presently being pumped there will help offset an overuse by the district in 2012.
Water pumped from the Lincoln County project will aid in keeping three participating NRDs in the Republican basin in compliance.
Natural Resource Districts in two basins joined forces through an interlocal agreement to initiate the project.
The cooperative effort is known as N-CORPE, (the Nebraska Cooperative Republican Platte Enhancement Project).
Members include the Upper, Middle and Lower Republican Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) in the Republican River Basin and the Twin Platte NRD located in the Platte River Basin.
Fast track construction
Jenkins said N-CORPE paid contractors an additional $150,000 to fast track construction of the project. Jenkins said it's possible for the project to be fully operational by the end of 2013.
He said Merrymans will start concrete work on the discharge area of the pipeline. Water discharged will run into Medicine Creek about a mile north of Hwy. 23. Water will flow into Harry Strunk Lake northwest of Cambridge.
The pipeline is designed for a capacity of 60,000 acre-feet per year.
Sargent Irrigation manager Glenn Taubenheim of Grant said they began pulling turbine pumps from wells last week. These pumps will be replaced with submersible pumps equipped with variable frequency drives.
These drives allow for better control of volume and pressure in the pipeline.
Taubenheim said they will be able to pull about 3-5 pumps per day, with a total of 30 wells being changed out.
Construction to be financed
N-CORPE sold more than $92 million in bonds in early August to cover the purchase of 19,000 acres in Lincoln County in October, 2012.
They plan to secure bank financing to finance the cost of the pipeline and well field project.

Herd can't dig out of early hole, putting bowl hopes in jeopardy
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - After a first half in which it tried to make Alabama-Birmingham look like the school down the road at Tuscaloosa, Marshall's bowl hopes are hanging on for dear life.
The Thundering Herd rallied in the second half, but a 31-7 deficit was too much to overcome. UAB used a Darrin Reaves 17-yard touchdown with 2:50 left to seal a 38-31 victory.
The loss before 11,941 at Legion Field erases all margin for error for Marshall (4-6, 3-3 Conference USA), which must defeat Houston and East Carolina to qualify for a bowl game. The Herd's home game next week against Houston, also 4-6, becomes a knockout game.
The late score was the second touchdown for Reaves, who rushed for 182 yards on 31 carries. Austin Brown threw for two touchdowns, 33- and 32-yard shots to Patrick Hearn and Nick Adams, to overcome three interceptions.
Marshall couldn't overcome a dismal first half, in which its 7-0 lead turned into a 24-7 halftime deficit in a rain of long returns, defensive breakdowns and uncharacteristically stagnant offense. When Brown hit Adams with 5:23 left in the third quarter, the Blazers owned the 31-7 lead.
The Herd fought back quickly, with Rakeem Cato hitting Jazz King on a 10-yard scoring pass two minutes later, and Kevin Grooms scoring on a 7-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 31-21. The Herd blocked a field goal and Dominick LeGrande returned it 35 yards to the UAB 29, but the Herd could only get a Justin Haig 38-yard field goal to make it 31-24
UAB drove the ball 80 yards after for the game-icing win, with Reaves covering the last 17 yards. Marshall made it close again on a 4-yard TD pass from Cato to Gator Hoskins, but the Herd could not recover the onside kick.
The Herd's day started well, despite a three-and-out on its first possession. As UAB faced third-and-5, Jeremiah Taylor overpowered Brown, knocking the ball free. The scramble pushed the ball nearly 20 yards, and Marshall cornerback Derrick Thomas recovered at the UAB 2. Remi Watson scored on the next play.
Keith Baxter intercepted Brown on the next possession, but the Herd offense stalled at its 38. From there, the crumbling began, as Jackie Williams took the low punt, evaded the first wave of tacklers and found a lot of open space to roam. Punter Tyler Williams sized him up at the Marshall 25, but the returner just did break the tackle to complete the 79-yard score.
When the Blazers got the ball back after a short punt (that may have been tipped), they needed just five plays to travel 64 yards. Change-of-pace back Bashr Coles delivered the big play, a 39-yard run to the Marshall 20. Reaves traveled the final 4 for a 14-7 lead.
Tyler Williams' next punt was certainly blocked, though it managed to go forward 20 yards. Still, UAB took over on its 48 and took just 1:23 to make it 21-7, ending with a 33-yard pass from Brown to Patrick Hearn. How well Baxter would have covered the play we'll never know, as he took a tumble on the turf.
That play came on the first play of the second quarter, and the Herd spent the rest of that time treading water. Cato was flushed out of the pocket on fourth-and-4 at the UAB 25, finally taking a low-percentage shot for Davonte Allen in the end zone. Allen couldn't bring it down, but cornerback Cornelius Richards did.
The Herd's last possession of the half was even more agonizing. Three Grooms runs gave the Herd fourth-and-inches from its 44, and Watson took the handoff to pick up the first down. But UAB defensive end Chris Rabb submarined under his blocker and took out Watson's legs early.
With UAB taking over the MU 44, a Ty Long field goal seemed almost automatic. He hit from 27 yards with 9 seconds left to set the 24-7 halftime score. Marshall was outgained at that point 174-121, and finished with a deficit of 406-337.

Sky Harbinger for iDevices
Posted 08 May 2012 - 11:50 PM
Just to give you a heads up, I have released on the itunes store a useful free app that downloads data from 7Timer! and formats it in an easy to view series of graphs for the next few days.
You'll need iOS5 or greater and whilst it's for iPhone you can run it on an iPad or iPod Touch.
For those unsure what 7Timer! is, it is a website that gives you various forecast information for your location.
The app can be found here: App Store
You can let your location be determined by your iDevice automatically or you can enter in your location via the settings screen.
The standard mode is a red night time view (to prevent your night vision from being affected) but there are also five other colour modes (green, blue, yellow, grey & colours) for you to play around with.
If the app brings up a blank screen after the waiting icon disappears it means that the website is currently offline, just try again later.
Cheers and clear skies,
Simon (sibimon.net)
Posted 09 May 2012 - 12:58 AM
You saved me from going back and forth on 7Timer website to look up what symbol meant what! Your app delivers the info in a crystal clear format. Being a person who is always challenged with the use of colors in apps like this, I have really appreciated your not using colors to deliver critical information.
Thank you so much!
Posted 12 June 2012 - 01:55 AM
Secondly, I've submitted an update to the app last week and it should be approved within the next few days.
Fixes and features:
1) Temperature setting now saved.
2) Spelling mistakes fixed (I hope I got them all).
3) Fixed an issue with the time not being determined correctly.
4) You can now add up to 10 user locations by accessing the "Sky Harbinger" settings under the iPhone settings.
5) Added moon phase information as a percentage of full.
6) Wind Direction and Speed on the same line, touch to toggle between them.
7) Time and Date on the same line, touch to toggle between them.
8) DMS Location and Location Name can be toggled.

Does this work outside the US?
Is certainly does (I myself am in Australia). If you are unsure if the app will work for your location you can go directly to the 7Timer! website @ http://7timer.y234.cn/ and pick the location you are interested in. All the app does is get the relevant data for your location and format it into some easy to read graphs.

Is the Time in local time for site (including Daylight Savings Time if in effect) or GMT/UTC? thanks!
The time is the time of your device and the date is offset from this point. I was going to include swapping to local site time but it would mean determining timezones by location and I believe that is probably not as useful as you'd want to know the time from your own point of reference.
Sorry for that rant, in essence the time and date are referenced to the setting of your device.

Glad you solved the issue, I must admit the help isn't overly helpful in some places so sorry for the troubles.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'm about to book in some time to update the app to fix a few bugs and hopefully get it to work natively on the iPad.

I have just submitted an update to Sky Harbinger, with any luck it will be approved within the next week or so.
After some investigation by a few people I am very confident I have finally solved the issues with the time line bug. Now those of you who use non-US International Settings on your phone should find that the time line display is now working correctly. I have also changed the time/date display to give a bit more information.
I have also added in a Dew Point Calculation line (calculated from the humidity and temperature) which has meant combining the Precipitation and Instability lines into one, you can toggle between them by tapping the label.
The app will now also work in either landscape orientation. I have decided not to adapt the app for iPad (with the release of the new bigger iPhone5 I will most likely wait for the app to be adapted to that first) but it will still run on the iPad in "iPhone Mode" or at "2x" as usual.
The biggest feature I have added is an Information Block. This is accessed by touching the appropriate time block along the bottom of the screen (where the Wind/Moon data is), you can also slide along the bottom part of the screen if you want. The Information Block displays the moon data for the time line along with a more textual description of the data for that time.

Just a heads up, I've noticed that every now and then one or more of the data bands (mainly for the "seeing" value) will return with an invalid value. This causes the display the draw a long bar down the screen. When new data is generated it is often fixed but I'll check my error routines and see about implementing a fix.

I'm experiencing a persistent problem with the latest version of Sky Harbinger, v1.02, under iOS 6. First thing that occurs is the app startup is taking a good 15 seconds (that is length of time I see the animated spinner). Then when the primary display screen pops up I see only the background color and the Settings button (no data display). The S button works as do all the buttons on the settings screen. When I exit back to the primary display the background and S button pop immediately, the spinner goes for another 15 seconds or so, and then nothing. It's as if something is timing out and therefore not displaying the data. I toggled Locations Services on and off. Basically the same result except that when starting the app I immediately get a splash screen telling me that location services have been denied. Also I have deleted the program and reloaded it from the App Store. Let me know what you think.
Thanks and clear skies,
Posted 03 October 2012 - 08:46 PM
Yes this is a new problem but unrelated to iOS6.
The crunch of the issue is that the 7Timer website is going through some instability. It often times out or is totally unavailable. I unfortunately have no control over this and can only hope that they fix up the issues soon.
In the mean time I spent a bit if time chasing my tail trying to fix what I thought was an iOS6 bug only to find that it's a website server issue of some sort. Last night I uploaded a new version to the App Store for approval (1.0.3) that has some new error messages so that we will know what is going on along with a website timeout feature. I've also coded in the app to run natively on the new bigger screen of the iPhone5 and seeing I was at it the app will run full screen on the iPad as well.
To all of the users of this app I apologise for all these problems, I am trying to make sure the app does its best to get the data so that we can all get in some clear viewing.
Posted 06 October 2012 - 03:16 PM
I appreciate your prompt response and explanation. After reading it I went to the 7Timer web site and this is what they had posted October 3 on their blog. "We notice the service has been in disruption since Sept 29, causing connection difficulty and data update failure. This is caused by overloading server due to heavy traffic, but we need to contact server administrator for further examinations. The examination will not take place until Oct 7 due to the national holiday week in China. We apologize for any inconveniences." Regardless of what the issues are we can only hope they get resolved quickly.
Thanks for bringing us Sky Harbinger and Alt Az Align, one of my favorites.
Clear skies,
Posted 13 October 2012 - 12:41 AM
Not only is the 7Timer back to normal but the new version of the app has been approved and should be available to you to update within the next 24 hours.
Thanks to all for the support

Thanks Peter.
In typical fashion though, I've just found a bug with the app. It only affects the iPad as far as I can tell. When you bring up the data block the moon is in the wrong position.
Before I fix it up, is there anything else you can think of that might be useful?
Posted 23 October 2012 - 10:51 AM
Posted 24 October 2012 - 11:03 PM
Great app, thank you for developing it.
No worries
I've uploaded Version 1.0.4 with the iPad fix and it should be approved soon.
Posted 28 October 2012 - 08:56 PM
V1.0.4 has been approved. It fixes the moon graphics when running on an iPad/iPhone5.
Thanks again to everyone who uses the app

Mississippians affected by Hurricane Isaac have less than a month to apply for federal assistance or loans.
Both the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration will take applications for FEMA assistance and SBA grants or low-interest loans until Oct. 31.
Applicants may register online or through the FEMA helpline at 1-800-621-3362. A link to the website is provided below.
The Clarion-Ledger reports homeowners and renters can apply for help through FEMA for temporary housing, home repairs and other expenses not covered by insurance.
The SBA low-interest disaster loans cover residential and business losses not compensated by insurance.
Mississippi Emergency Management Director Robert Latham said residents should apply for the SBA loans, especially because if they are turned down they can be referred back to be FEMA for a possible grant.

I've done a lot of research on different units and they and they all seem to have their pros and cons. Is there any specific features that i should really look for or what? Thanks

Easy to integrate, just utilize a shorter LP hose spanning from 1st stage to BC. Nice to have this on deeper dives, when vis is bad and when any kind of penetration dive is done. Couldnt be easier to use

could not be much easier to use. big buttons are easy to manipulate with gloves. camera has menu able settings for various underwater (and surface) conditions and lighting. covers all your recreational diving possibilities. the only feature i would like is to extend the auto off time to beyond 3 minutes. quite often i would take a picture, swim a bit, see another possibility, set up for the shot (e.g. angle/orient myself, position myself to compensate for current, wait for another diver to swim out of the shot) and by the time i was ready to shoot the camera had turned itself off. i know this conserves battery time but i would rather carry a spare battery and have the extended auto off time.

GP-DX understanding Problem (RA Axis)
Posted 21 October 2012 - 06:12 AM
ive got an understanding issue with my new GP-DX. I dont get how the RA circle works
from left to right. theres an Arrow pointing to the black circle and a noniusscale on the green metal casing.
it would make sense if these + the black scale are used to find objects. BUT the small thumbscrew fixes the blackscale to the casing, which means it wont move if you rotate the scope around the RA axis.
The next ring with a scale(the shiny/silver/white one) is fixed to the axis, but i take it that this one is for the polarscope if i attach the protective cover im not even able to see that scale.
this is what i would see when im done setting the scope up. the black scale is fixable and isnt fixed to the axis. How am i suppost to use that if bose scales are fixed to eachother o_0
Posted 21 October 2012 - 08:48 AM
Posted 21 October 2012 - 09:49 AM
en you are on an object, you tighten it down so the RA reading will remain the same as the mount tracks.
This would mean the ra axis and the ra circle dont have a hard connection, otherwise it would block the ra axis too if i tighten the thumbscrew.
Right now my ra circle is just "floating" on the ra axis. sometimes it moves sometimes it doesnt. i already opened the whole thing. but i dont see how this should work :/. circle and axis obviously can be connected with a screw -> would render the blocking screw useless
here are a few more pictures of the inside
Posted 21 October 2012 - 10:13 AM
Posted 21 October 2012 - 10:59 AM
right now i can lock the ring. but if i do not lock it it will just float randomly around the axis. its not bound at all to the axis.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 12:33 PM
When it's not locked down, that exactly what SHOULD happen.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 01:25 PM
The little setscrew doesn't have anything to do with locking the mount's axis. Don't believe me? Try it.
i know. if i screw it down i lock the circle
if i dont screw it down the circle rotates freely. with free i mean moving the axis has no effect on the circle because its not connected in any way to it
Posted 21 October 2012 - 05:21 PM
I know this sounds odd, but at the end of the day, they aren't really all that useful. It is vastly easier to point at an object (like Vega or Sirius, for example), and use it to set the setting circles if you want to use them.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 07:04 PM
i know. if i screw it down i lock the circle
if i dont screw it down the circle rotates freely. with free i mean moving the axis has no effect on the circle because its not connected in any way to it
One last time:
Loosen the setscrew to find objects.
Tighten to track.
But it is your mount, and I think you should use it any cotton-picking way you want to...
Posted 22 October 2012 - 01:34 AM
if i losen the setscrew and put the protective cover on, the ra circle will be fixed, because the drag of the protective cover on the circle overcomes the drag between the circle and the axis. the cover is just an example it doesnt even need that much drag to stop the ra circle from moving. even without any resistance at all the ra circle wont follow properly
Posted 22 October 2012 - 06:42 AM
Posted 22 October 2012 - 07:50 AM
and i want to know why my isnt doing it/ how the ra circle should be connected to the axis, because i can not find anything about it :/ i even took it apart but there is nothing to connect the axis with the circle.
Posted 22 October 2012 - 11:22 AM
Posted 23 October 2012 - 04:55 AM
but the parts do not look worn down :/
it would be awesome if someone with the same or similar mount would take a look at it. i Really want to know how it is suppost to work.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 05:14 AM
I own a GP-DX and I have to agree with Rod. Now it's possible that the ring is loose and that you need to somehow tighten it on the shaft so it has better grip and rotates with the shaft. Mabe just applying some tape on the shaft so it fits more snugly could do the trick.
I have one too, i'll try to take a look at it when I get home this evening.
Kind regards.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 07:32 AM
if it all fails i will do it with tape. but seriously i thought the gp-dx is decently made...how worse could it be, if i have to fix a mechanical instrument with duct-tape O_O

It has a very good description of how to use these setting circles.
They are actually very cool. Poor man's GoTo that works all the time...
Posted 27 June 2013 - 03:05 AM
The verniers are good but take some getting used to. If you ever used vernier calipers it comes easier.
As mentioned, off set from a known target is a quick way to get aligned.
Posted 28 June 2013 - 11:47 PM
The RA ring (with the set screw loosened) should have enough friction to follow the RA axis as it turns.
Posted 01 July 2013 - 07:30 AM
Do I need some kind of auto tracking or GOTO interface for the auto tracking with GP-DX mount? I have just the GP-DX fitted with RA and DEC motor and DD-1 two axis controller. I can move the scope with the controller to both axis, but I do not know how to activate auto tracking.
When stationery, I can hear the GPDX motors ticking away, so I was under impression that they are auto tracking, but when I check the EP, they are not.
Posted 01 July 2013 - 09:11 AM

Posted 02 July 2013 - 02:43 AM
I suspect you have MT1 motors and a basic guiding handset.
If you can find an old Vixen Skysensor 2000 it might help. I fitted a Skywatcher Synscan goto drive set to my Vixen SP but the Ioptron drive set will also fit.

How was your trip to Florida? Did you wave at me when you were flying over New Mexico? Haha. I bet that was an awesome trip, I've never been to Florida. When and where is Muse? When and where is John Mayer? Where do you wana go see Green Day at? I know there's 3 or 4 California dates set up but I still don't know the whole cities and which big city they belong to you know. I know Irvine is the amphitheater closest to L.A, as for the others I don't even know still. I really really wana go see Green Day in Phoenix but all my friends are bums and wouldn't wana go with me cuz they don't have cash or nothing. I wouldn't even mind going by myself, I don't know why I don't. It's 5 hours away from me! They were in Phoenix last August at the U.S Airways Center and now they're gona be back this August at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion. I have never seen Green Day before in my life and they're one of the bands I really really wana see live....it's making me sad just thinking about it. You should just buy lawn tickets and go, that's better than missing out on the whole show like me. When was Warped Tour over there? Our show is on Wednesday in Las Cruces. It better be cloudy because if it's not then dang....it's gona be so hot. What two places are you working at? I'm taking 2 summer classes, a Java class and a math class. It sucks having to do homework and stuff during the summer. Aw dang, I'm sorry that you got a D in pilates. Did you miss a lot of pilate classes or what happened? I've been doing pretty good, just been working. I'm looking forward to Wednesday for Warped and then I'm looking forward for the Dodgers-dbacks games in Phoenix on Friday and Saturday, then we'll come back Sunday. Did you see P Roach is gona be in Fontana, California I wana say. How far is that from you?
I know, it feels like forever ago I was in school and it was barely 3 weeks ago or so. That's cool that you're all done. How did you do in your classes? I don't have many plans for the summer. I'm gona go see The Veer Union and Powerman 5000 on Sunday in El Paso, then Warped Tour on June 30th in Las Cruces, then go to Phoenix the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of July. I'm gona watch the Dodgers-diamondbacks over there on the 2nd and 3rd. Then Mayhem Fest on July 17th in Albuquerque and that's about it! That's awesome that you're gona go see Muse. Where are they gona be at? Sacramento? They're gona be in Albuquerque/Rio Rancho some time around September or October. I'm not sure of the exact date though. What else do you have planned for the summer? Are you gona take any summer classes?
Haha, no worries. It's going, can't complain at all except for school....I had a blast for Spring Break though. I went with my friends on the 19th-21st to Phoenix, came home for 5 days then went back the 27th-30th. I caught 5 baseball games and 1 NBA game when I was there. It was a blast. I wish I lived in Arizona. Then I went to school for 2 days and now I have a 3 day weekend cuz of the holiday. So I go back tomorrow for a full weeks worth of classes. Other than that that's about all that's going on in my boring life. How have you been? How's school treating you?
That's what works for me when I have a lot of stuff for school to do. I find a day that I have absolutely nothing to do and just bear down and do all the homework I can do and what not. I hate being behind in classes and I hate having work due soon and I haven't even started on it and stuff like that. Haha, why don't you know when your spring break is? I'm sure it's coming up soon so you best check! Mine starts the 19th and ends the 28th. I'm going to Phoenix on the 19th, 20th and 21st to go watch some Spring Training baseball games. I'm gona go watch the Cubs-White Sox on the 19th, the Diamondbacks-Mariners on the 20th and the Indians-Dodgers on the 21st. I can't wait until the Dodgers game.....I'm also gona go watch a NBA game on Friday night between the Jazz-Suns and then on Saturday night we're gona go see the Blackhawks-Coyotes in hockey. It's going to be such a fun weekend. I can't wait.
It's fine, don't worry about it. I haven't been on here since February 27th or 28th, my laptop is broken so I finally got online right now. I'm using a computer at the school. I know what you mean about school stressing you out. Maybe you can just sit down one day if you have a lot of time and do all of the work that you have assigned and then some so you could catch up or even get ahead. Don't wait til the last minute to do it all cuz then it'd be hell for you. I'm pretty stressed right now in my math class, every other class I think I'm doing pretty well in. I have to do a paper for my Criminal Justice class and it's due next Thursday so I need to get started on that soon. Then I have another math test next Thursday. I can't wait for Spring Break to get here...ours starts the 19th and ends the 18th. When is your guyses Spring Break? What is your Shakespeare class about? How's everything else going in that bad ass state that you live in??
Aw, why's school stressing you out? Do you have mid terms coming up and what not too? I'm really stressed with school right now, I need to do good and get good grades and all that. It's finally starting to catch up with me or something. I need to get it together real quick. Catching up on sleep isn't a bad thing. How's work going?

Brave (2012)
Brave SynopsisSince ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Meridas actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before its too late.
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, Brave is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters.

If you've ever wondered why popcorn, candy and soda is so damn expensive at the movie theater while blockbuster films are making millions upon millions of dollars, it's because the theater itself actually doesn't make a great deal of money off of a new title during its opening weekend.

Disney Pulls Merida's Makeover After Outcry
the new Merida has since been pulled from Disney's site, replaced by the Merida we've grown to know and love. (As seen below.) It's unknown how the public protest will ultimately impact further Merida merchandizing, but it's at least heartening to see the House of Mouse is listening to parents and fans furious over the message they send by overtly sexualizing a character specifically made to empower young girls.

Brave Director And Fans Protest Merida's Disney Princess Makeover
The Disney Princess has a knack for diluting the most interesting qualities of all its characters and shoving them into a generic princess box, overlooking the fact that Mulan wanted to be a soldier more than a girl in the dress, for example. But Merida's placement in this crowd, especially since the movie ends with her not marrying anyone and continuing to reject all the fancy trappings of princess-dim, seems especially galling

Looking back a year full of movies you have to remember the bad with the good.

The Real Reason People Hate The Twist In Brave
Pixar's latest Brave has received a slew of fiery criticism, much to the surprise of those of us who loved it.

Brave Filmmakers Wanted To Transport Us To Scotland

And the latest video promoting the film focuses almost entirely on that as the filmmakers and actors discuss the setting in which the story takes place.

A low evening sun is cutting through the valley, highlighting the Squamish Chief and neighboring Shannon Falls. Two thousand feet up and gently gaining elevation over the Howe Sound, I hear Steve "Manboy" Townshend's static-filled voice echo through my headset, "Beautiful, eh?" Steve's dog, a pedigree Whippet Chava, sits in the back of the plane, panting like he just won a race. "He'll be fine," said Steve. "Just cover his head. He loves to fly."
Manboy spent seven years scraping by as a fulltime climbing bum, but over the last two, he has transformed himself into a full-fledged, respectable flight instructor for Glacial Air in Squamish, B.C. He's highly driven, as suggested by the white board in his living room that is covered with motivational phrases, exercises to do and routes to tick.
Townshend, now 27, has been avidly climbing for 12 years. Originally from Toronto ("That's in Canada," he says), Townshend grew up 40 minutes from his friend and climbing partner Sonnie Trotter.
In 1998 Townshend sustained a serious injury at the Virgin River Gorge while climbing with Trotter. Townshend was lowering off F-Dude (5.14a), a 35-meter mega-climb that links into the top of Fall of Man (5.13b), when his trimmed rope slipped through Trotter's device and Townshend plummeted from a height of 80 feet. Miraculously, Trotter caught his friend in his arms and softened his landing. Trotter sustained soft-tissue damage to both hands, while Townshend chipped a bone in his heel, escaping a worse accident. The famous, nearly unbelievable incident raises a more important question: Why hasn't the route name been changed to Fall of Manboy?
"This story's been published many times, often with errors," he says. "I guess it's what I'm best known for? One other error that's been published about me: I've only been hit by lightning ONCE, not twice!"
Manboy has gotten back into climbing part-time, and most recently, he added a link-up into Trotter's route Superman (5.14b), in Cheakamus Canyon, Canada, that he is calling Superman-Boy. At 5.14c, this 120-foot route is his hardest to date.
"I got a custom 80-meter rope from Bluewater just so I could lower from the anchor," he says.
Manboy is also known for his ability to stick massive dynos. A few years ago, he unofficially broke the Guiness World Record for dynoing when he stuck an 11-foot dyno at his local gym. He downplays his jumping skills, saying that they only seem impressive because he's 6' 4", and that most tall people never learn to dyno in the first place.
"Really, I'm just a taller-than-average 5.10 climber who learned to skip holds," he says.

Tech at Night: Barack Obama really is terrible on Cybersecurity, the ITU, and everything else.
Two points on cybersecurity tonight. The first is that Harry Reid and Barack Obama aren't on the same page. The latter is still working toward a (probably illegal) executive order, while the former is talking about trying again to pass the rejected Lieberman-Collins Cybersecurity Act. Meanwhile we backers of the Marlin Stutzman campaign have been vindicated, as Dan Coats is siding with Harry Reid on this, the Internet Kill Switch bill, with the IKS removed but everything else left intact.

'Primer wines.' I've been using that term a lot recently, and it's time to delve into what the heck it might mean, and whether there's any legitimacy to the notion it embodies. I'm not even sure the term exists in the wine lexicons of others, or if I just came up with it on my own.
But what I mean by a primer is this: sometimes, in order to get the most out of a wine, it's a good idea to wake up your palate with something else — another wine — before you get to the wine you really want to enjoy.

Take Two Strikes MLB Deal and Buys Visual Concepts
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Video Games
Back atcha, EA! In light of recent developments in the game industry, many thought that Electronic Arts was going to have the whole world of sports gaming locked down. Take Two decided not to let that happen, as they just signed a deal with Major League Baseball granting them exclusive third party rights to make games based on the franchise. What this means is that first parties (Microsoft, Sony's 989 Sports, and Nintendo) may still makes games based on MLB, but no other third parties - including Electronic Arts - may do so. The deal begins in 2006, and lasts for seven years. Just hours after the news was announced, Take Two announced the purchase of Visual Concepts, Sega's sports dev house. This is just getting nasty.

Nokia to Produce Single Chip Mobile Phones Based on TI Chip
Posted by Categories: Cell Phones
Texas Instruments has been working with Nokia to create even smaller cellular phones. By integrating all of a cell phone's main functions into a single TI chip, Nokia will be able to make cell phones that are smaller, faster, and better. With more room to spare in the phone, Nokia can focus on integrating features into their phones, such as digital media, GPS, and wireless LAN. The smaller chips will consume less power, allowing for longer battery life. While Nokia's main target demographic for these phones will be China and India, its not difficult to believe that this technology will soon show up in American phones.

Napster Considers Future in Downloadable Movies
Posted by Categories: Movies
The largely untapped genre of online movie distribution may soon find a home. Napster CEO Chris Gorog announced that Napster, the online music retailer, is considering adding movies to their list of available media. While downloading movies for a fee is nothing new, it is a genre that has yet to take off. The proliferation of broadband solutions, however, may make downloading movies easier than ever before. There is no word yet on whether the movies will be rentals or if you can keep them forever on your machine. Also in question is the format and quality of the movies, as well as if you will have the ability to record and burn them to a DVD. I don't know how they plan to implement this, but I would reccomend an excellent business model to help combat the existence of online piracy. Not many people would pay too much for something they can already get for free.

eXeem™ is a brand new Peer-To-Peer program, which is based on the BitTorrent idea. eXeem™ eliminates the need for trackers as nodes in the program will be taking their role. eXeem™ also features easy publication of files to the network as well as a rating and comments system. eXeem™ contains NO SPYWARE. eXeem™ is free and is ad-supported. eXeem™ is currently still in its beta testing phase, which means that the network might not be completely stable yet. You are still very welcome to give eXeem™ a try and see how it is different from other Peer-To-Peer programs.
Give it a download, and let us know what you think in the comments.

We've seen some really nice leather products from the folks over at Vaja Corp. Their Vaja cases have proven to be a very successful solution for folks looking to protect their cell phones, mp3 players, and PDA's. What sets them apart is that they make your gear look cool while offering great protection and accessibility in the process. Their customers are treated to some quality leather grain, and even a bit of customization for their cases.
We got a chance to chat with Federico Fiocchini (Vaja Marketing Manager) & Michaël MASSAT (Director Innovacases) regarding this unique product line:
Gear Live: Can you tell us a little bit about each of your functions at Vaja Corp?
Frederico: I am marketing manager of Vaja Corp (Buenos Aires - Argentina). I am in charge of communication and all resellers (worldwide).
Michaël: I am in charge of Innovacases (Soon Vaja Europe, based in Saint-Tropez - France). I work on marketing and communication (the promotion of Vaja brand in Europe) on our website, magazines, radios & webzines. In addition, my job is to find the best partners in Europe (resellers). Innovacases allows us to avoid the problem of custom duties, VAT and improve delivery time (for European customers). We stock best-seller cases to improve our service. At the moment, we are working on a Vaja Europe website that will propose many languages and avoid a lot of problems due to shipping.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Residents of Northern California endured the brunt of another powerful storm that drenched the area with yet another round of pounding rain and strong winds. But officials say damage from the storm was less than expected.
The latest storm system dropped as much as an inch of rain per hour in some areas, toppling trees and knocking out electrical service to tens of thousands of people. It moved across the region late Saturday and early Sunday, and was the third storm system to hit the area in less than a week.
Rivers across Northern California swelled from the deluge, but they didn't flood as extensively as expected.
By Sunday afternoon, forecasters had canceled flood warnings for the Russian and Truckee rivers.
In the Napa area, most of the anticipated flooding was expected to hit an agricultural area outside the city Sunday evening.
