2 Min Exposure - Alt/AZ Mount - Horsehead
Posted 24 November 2012 - 01:23 PM
I mentioned that my normal mode of operation is Alt/AZ. That is still true for my primary mount at home, which is an LX-200 with a Meade 80mm ED APO mounted piggy-back. Now, my "travel mount" is a Celestron CG5-GT, which of course is a Polar configured mount.
The image linked below, is the Horsehead Nebula. The image is not what the post is about (although I certainly like it…). The discussion is "Mounts" and "Configurations" and "Imaging". I captured this image two nights ago, with a 75% moon in the sky. The image was taken using the 80mm, piggy-backed on the LX200, mounted Alt/AZ.
The image is a 9 frame stack of 2 Minute exposures. The camera was my SBig ST-8300-M. The full image was cropped to about 1.3d x 1d image. Very little other processing was involved.
The purpose of this post is to simply show that (what I feel are good) images can indeed be taken with Alt/AZ configured mounts, and that a 2 min exposure can produce good results. This image is taken UNGUIDED. If I do 2 min with the LX200 as the imaging source (which I do), I need to guide, but the results are just as good.
The final image (and thus the entry into my personal observation log) can be found here:

Nice results showing that, for shorter FL, unguided imaging in AltAz can be done. Thanks.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 05:04 PM
Granted, the 80mm has a shorter FL (about 500mm). But, as I said, I do this with the 8" LX-200 as well. The focal length there is about 2000mm, or 4 times as long. Thus, magnification is 4 times, and the tolerances are that much tighter.
Below is a link to an image I took on 11-12 of M-33 (NGC-0598), The Triangulum Galaxy, with the LX-200. The image shown is the entire CCD, and catches "most" of the galaxy. This galaxy has a very rich collection of stars in the FOV, consisting of various sizes, from very small, to reasonably good sized stars.
If you "super magnify" the image, you can detect some elongation in the horizontal direction. But to a standard size "display", they look fine to me. So, is it "perfect" ? Of course not. And 2 Minutes is about the maximum I can do in Alt/AZ with the LX-200, and still achieve "acceptable" results. Note... this is a GUIDED image.
But the point is..... The image is acceptable, at least to me. And probably to a lot of other people. It is a matter of personal choice of what each person is willing to accept. I do not seek perfection. But I do like good photo documentation of my observations.
It can be done.
Here is the link:

I think your images, guided long FL and unguided short FL, do look good. I'd be happy with results like those. Have you tried guided with the short fl on the CG5? I like my LX80 a lot and don't plan on getting rid of it. But, it looks as if I may need somthing else if I want to get into AP. I had a CG5 that I probably should have kept. Your OTA's sound a lot like what I'm using 2700mm Mak and a 500mm 80mm refractor. At this point, I plan to guide and image with 80mm refractors and leave the Mak out of things.

Please post your photos here in this thread. The links you gave no longer seem to work.
You stated that you guided these photos. I am assuming that you were not using a field de-rotator. So, did you guide on a star at the center of the field so that the guiding process would not be affected by field rotation? Did you try some unguided images for comparison?
Posted 18 December 2012 - 12:00 AM
I am working on re-publishing my astronomy web page(s).
I will have the link repaired tomorrow morning.
As to your questions...
No field de-rotator. I was going to play with one to extend the time (beyond 2-min)... but discovered that you really need to use an OAG, and I am not configured for that.
My guiding (both at home and away) uses a Orion StarShoot Camera, and whatever OTA is available. At home, that could be the LX200 or the 80mm ED-APO (which ever one i am not using for imaging). Away, with the Celectron CG5-GT and 6" SCT, i use an Orion 8x50 (was originally a finder).
Center star ?? That would be nice, but not always possible. I just select what appears to be a "good" star.
One of the really BIG issues, especially when imaging with the LX200, is overall mount balance. Properly balanced, and i can get those times. Unbalanced, and troubles start showing up quick.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 12:35 AM
Seriously I missed your picture the first time around, hope you get it reposted soon.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 09:16 AM
Without using a field de-rotator, is it possible that your guider is actually introducing more error unless the guide star is at the center of the field? Assuming the gearing in your mount has very little periodic error (in both axes), it seems to me that guiding on a star that is off-center would be a problem because the guide star would be rotating around the center of the field. In other words, you might be adding a translation error on top of the rotation error. This is just a hunch. I haven't actually done any calculations. But it might be worth trying a few unguided images for comparison. Of course, periodic-error in the drive trains is the wildcard in this equation. It could be that guiding is conquering the greater of the prevailing evils. If your mount has PEC, then perhaps you can set up in equatorial mode and correct for the periodic-error in the polar/azimuth axis. But when operating in alt-azimuth mode, you would still have uncorrected periodic-error in the altitude axis.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 10:51 AM
Your question referenced guiding in this image. As i stated in the original post, if i use the LX200, then i MUST guide for a 2 min exposure. In this case, I was doing a wide field, and thus the 80mm (much shorter focal length). This is a UNGUIDED image (which i stated).
I will post a guided 2 min image where i use the LX200 for comparison, later this morning.
Gillmj24.... i "almost" missed the "sarcasm" note. I was thinking... " Oh no... not more of that *&^% "
I really do enjoy my equipment. The LX200 and the 80mm are perfert for my application at home. The Celestron CG5-GT and 6"SCT are perfect for my travel needs
Half Hitch... have not noticed that, at least that i recognize. I know without the guiding, if i go beyond about 30-40 seconds, the star trails get big in a hurry. With guiding, i don't seem to notice any.
If there were minor "trails" or "bloated stars"... i probably would not object to much. This real question is ... "What do we take the pictures for ?? "
In my case, they create an observation log. I record everything in the record, including the image. I am not trying to create "Publishable" images, nor am i trying to impress the master astro-imagers. I am simply creating an observation log. This is what i "see".
Posted 18 December 2012 - 11:05 AM
That's a pretty good image considering the straightforward manner in which it was made, including use of an alt-azimuth mount. I look forward to seeing the guided image. I was merely asking questions for the purpose of learning from your experience. Thanks for posting these results.
Posted 18 December 2012 - 02:40 PM
These were taken Dec 8th, and 10th 2012, from my back yard (DaHut).
http://www.az-dougla...65 12082012.jpg
And here is another...
http://www.az-dougla...05 12102012.jpg
And a last one, which DOES show a little rotation (bloating stars on the right side)... but like I said earlier, it serves my purpose.
http://www.az-dougla...07 12102012.jpg
This is what my normal "log" entry is like.
The image to the left is a capture from the Palomar Sky Survey, and thus is my "Target". The image to the right is my image.

Balancing !!! ----- did i say Balancing ???
Lack thereof shows up IMMEDIATELY !!!
Guiding !!! The software i use for guiding is PHD....
I used to use Envisage... got sort of OK results out to about a min to 90 seconds. With PHD, extended out to 2 min.
What a difference quality software makes !!! Also, as part of that change, the guiding became ST4 rather than Meade serial.

I know hunting is probably pretty good in Alaska but I always figured if you can't earn a living paying at least a six figure income there, the cost of living there is way to rich for my blood.
I don't know if anyone can answer this question here, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
What town would you prefer to live in as far as the outdoors? Where you could draw a sheep/goat tag and hike in many many miles, without needing to hire a bush pilot, but also able to beat the crowds.(weather it's because of rugged terrain, or just lack of people living there). But also able to drive into town and get at least basic stuff like groceries and gas, etc. I know that no where is perfect. And that probably no where exists like, but maybe!
And also a place that holds bears and sitka deer. Big moose would be a plus as well....and can't forget about some monster rainbows haha.
I'm moving to Alaska is about 2 years. I will be looking for a lineman career. So I was hoping I could get a job with a very rural company. Thanks for reading. Even if you have just visited, respond haha.
I know hunting is probably pretty good in Alaska but I always figured if you can't earn a living paying at least a six figure income there, the cost of living there is way to rich for my blood.
I've been a resident up here for over 38 years and I would pick Tok, given the criteria you gave. You won't find the Sitka deer there however, so hopefully that's not a deal breaker. The current(?) 261" moose came from there, plenty of bears and caribou. Probably better for grayling than rainbows but oh well, it's hard to get it all.
Bring a warm coat though, it was -47 last week and gets beyond -70 at times.
Thanks for the responses! I will for sure look into that town! And actually many lineman make 6 figures. But not guaranteed. And no I was partially joking with some of that, I don't expect anywhere to be amazing in all categories. Thanks again guys
If you are a journeyman lineman ya better have an IBEW card. Many lineman are seasonal until they have atleast 10 years in or so. But there are a few contractors that do not belong to the union. Like Akaviator said Tok is a great place but ya better a layer of fat on ya like a walrus Tuesday it was -45F.. I believe they are only getting about 4 hours of sun also. If you have a wife make sure to move up in the spring that is if you don't want to be moving back to the lower 48 in a couple of years. Alaska is like no place on earth but if you are not metally prepared it can whop ya. And contrary to popular belief the hunting is hard, rugged, and remote. It isn't like driving your truck to your favorite spot in the lower 48 and take off walking to go hunting. Plus there isn't near the game density like in the lower 48 either. It be 5,6,7 days before we spot a legal bull moose in some units. I wish ya the best of luck.
Thanks for the tip. I'm planning to be an apprentice lineman working towards my journeyman's while I'm there. I'm not saying I wanna be there for 2 years. But I'll just enjoy it up there, whether I'm there for a year or forever.
I want to hunt everything there. Sounds a bit ridiculous since it is VERY EXPENSIVE. But a good piece of my income will go to hunting. Since I know I won't spend the money to go on non-resident guided trips in the future. So I'll do it when I'm young and able and..a resident of AK!
I am a bit nervous for the lack of sunlight. I can handle the cold no problem, just am not sure about the lack of light.
Good luck in Alaska wish I knew someone up there maybe someday Ill get up there
I have hunted Alaska several times and from what I have seen, good hunting pretty much requires going where there are no roads. That means boats, airplanes and sometimes atv's. Location is not as important as you might think. Locate where you can work.

Boil-water advisory lifted for parts of downtown
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:12 a.m.
A boil-water advisory was lifted Friday morning for 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th streets between Dock and Nun streets, according to the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority.
Residents in the seven-block radius near downtown Wilmington were under the order for more than 24 hours after an aging water main burst Wednesday afternoon just before 10 p.m. Residents on 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th streets in the 1300-1500 blocks between Dock and Nun streets were affected.
The advisory was in effect until water quality testing could occur. The system has resumed normal operation and customers may return to normal use and consumption. Testing was completed Friday morning, said Jacqueline Valade, CFPUA spokeswoman.

On September 17th, 2013 Old Crow Medicine Show received the great honor of being inducted as the newest members of the historic Grand Ole Opry. Other highlights from the year included winning the Grammy Award for "Best Long Form Music Video" for the film Big Easy Express, and having their classic single, "Wagon Wheel", receive the RIAA's Platinum certification for selling over 1,000,000 copies.
The band got its' start busking on street corners in New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit. They eventually found themselves in Boone, North Carolina where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He immediately invited the band to play at his MerleFest, helping to launch their career. Shortly thereafter the band relocated to Nashville for a residency at the Grand Ole Opry, where they entertained the crowd between shows.
It's been nearly fifteen years since these humble beginnings, and the band has gone on to tour the world, sell over 800,000 albums, become frequent guests on A Prairie Home Companion, and play renowned festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, and the Newport Folk Festival.
In 2011 Old Crow found themselves embarking on the historic Railroad Revival Tour with Mumford and Sons, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. This tour had the bands riding a vintage train from California to New Orleans, playing shows along the way. The magic of this musical excursion across America's vast landscape is captured in the Emmet Malloy directed documentary, Big Easy Express.
Old Crow Medicine Show now have four studio albums to their name, three of which were released by Nettwerk Records - O.C.M.S and Big Iron World produced by David Rawlings, and Tennessee Pusher produced by Don Was. On their newest album, Carry Me Back, Old Crow continue to craft classic American roots music while pushing themselves in new directions. Carry Me Back, released by ATO Records and produced by Ted Hutt, represents a new stretch of road in the timeless journey of a rambling string band.

Hi All,
I recently purchased an iPad 2 and Apple fulfilled the order by drop-shipping the piece parts direct from suppliers. My order consisted of the iPad 2 plus 4 accessories, and ended up being fulfilled in 4 separate shipments. The shipments came via UPS and Federal Express. With these carriers, you need to be at home to sign and receive the orders otherwise you may have to go to some regional shipping warehouse to pick it up. The regional UPS shipping warehouse for where I live is 30 minutes away! And if I had my order shipped to my hotel while travelling on business, I might have incurred charges to receive each order. I've been charged $7-10 dollars per package received at some hotels.
Frustrated Shopper Suggestion - While fulfilling the shopper's order in multiple shipments may be the cheapest solution for the retailer, give consideration to the effect on the shopper in terms of her time and cost.
That's all for now. Gotta go shopping!

I have an application that performs a very sequential set of discrete tasks.
My problem is that one of the first tasks consumes a large amount of memory, and despite eliminating object references and invoking the garbage collector, only about half the memory is essentially freed. This impacts later tasks. The problem is also that I want to temporarily grant the JVM a large heap to efficiently manage the first task but I don't want this to stick around till the GC decides it's efficient to free the rest.
I had the idea of executing the memory-intensive task inside thread; the new child thread uses the parent JVM (no surprise here), but there appears to be no change in the memory management.
How does Java handle Thread memory? Is there a simple way to create a child heap for the subthread that can be dumped after the thread has finished?
As an addendum, here's what I actually want to do:
- Setup a Neo4j graph database (I'm creating several million nodes, properties and relationships, along with numerous indexes) [memory intensive]
- Perform queries on the graph database

About a month ago I deactivated my Facebook I've had for about two years now. No big deal. But looking back, I've been all the better for it.
When you are in the process of deactivation, Facebook asks you to give a reason for doing so. You have numerous choices such as: "Facebook takes up too much of my time," "I don't feel safe on Facebook," and "I don't find Facebook useful." There's also the option of "other," with a text box for you to provide a short explanation. I calmly typed "I don't want to be controlled," and severed my ties with Facebook for the time being.
I didn't consider my decision an act of rebellion, or turn it into an intellectual abstraction too much. I didn't want to be a social recluse or lose any of my real friends. I admit, Facebook has been useful and fun for me at times. When I went to Europe over the summer with some classmates, we shared pictures and "tagged" each other when arrived home. When a Facebook game called "Farmville" was popular a couple months ago I happily harvested away. When I needed to work on a group project for school, or join some innocuous Facebook group, or chat with a friend, I did that, too. Facebook is fun! If it weren't, no one would have one.
But sometimes things become so fun, that we come to depend on them a little too much. Sometimes even, we find ourselves hooked. And while I didn't consider myself addicted to Facebook, I did find I was being controlled. I was controlled by that urging to be "in the loop." I was controlled by that slight interest in random people's affairspeople I never talk to in person. I was controlled by that one annoying photo or that one annoying conversation thread. The News Feed, or the Live Feed, or whatever it's called, is the worse of all. It's basically a stream of other people's consciousnesses all bombarding you at once. And the "Like Button"what a great idea. Now instead of thinking of the right words, we can grunt our approval of things.
So I deactivated my Facebook. The world goes on. Life goes on. What I don't know, doesn't really exist (...too Kantian?). I've missed maybe one or two important things without a Facebook. But if I've freed myself in even the slightest way, it's been worth it. I don't think Facebook is an cultural blight. Even the Danville Express has a Facebook page. Like I said, it can be fun. When I leave high school, I will probably reactivate it to keep in touch with my fellow classmates. I'm not a rebel.
You may say, "Facebook is sooo distracting...I should be doing my homework instead." And you're probably right. Of course, the prospect of letting go of all my friends and all the news intimidates you out of taking the next logical step. I don't blame you. It's a convincing reality. But at least you considered it.

Do you intend to incorporate a key or scale reference?
Do you intend to incorporate a key or scale reference?
Dana, yes, I'll include key and scale. Initially using Excel to create a rough map. Need to master GIMP to create a better quality map. Did notice that the image is flipped (N-S axis) from the original scan.
thorgarth what's the reasoning behind the use of excel?
My first response, "Because I could." Actually, haven't spent the time to learn Gimp or Inkscape. Have a RPG city that needed fleshed out as a rough draft.
Excel on work and home systems, so was able to work on it anywhere and in bitesize time increments. I have a new version to post, but found an interesting way to use lines to creat a cobblestone appearance on roads.
That's actually, a rather impressive use of excell...
Sure, you'll never get as pretty a result as you could with GIMP or photoshop, but it actually look like a nice and serviceable map right there... Impressive...
Newest map
Failed to include the key:
1) Barbarian Gate 2) Fort O'Keefe 3) Draconis Embassy 4) Temple of Kenjari
5) Temple of Seren 6) Foreign Market 7) Mageocracy Embassy (Kingdom name to be determined)

Now is the time to speak together to #SolveSeniorHunger
Millions of Americans work in low-wage jobs, living from paycheck to paycheck, saving little if any money for their retirement. Most low-wage jobs offer little in the way of pensions or 401(K) plans so after a lifetime of hard work, social security checks may be these workers only source of income.
We meet many clients at the soup kitchens, food pantries and shelters we serve who are attempting to livewhat should be their golden yearson social security checks of $700 a month or less. Due to the tough economic climate, this is now a reality for even more younger seniors as they find themselves unemployed or underemployed.
These realities are especially troublesome knowing that food insecurity not having access to enough food for an active or healthy life while it affects people of all ages is particularly detrimental to seniors because of their unique nutritional needs related to aging and/or their medical conditions.
According to Spotlight on Senior Health: Adverse Health Outcomes of Food Insecure Older Americans,
a study released jointly by Feeding American and the National Foundation to End Senior Hunger, when compared
to food secure seniors, food insecure seniors are:
· 60 percent more likely to experience depression;
· 53 percent more likely to report a heart attack;
· 52 percent more likely to develop asthma; and
· 40 percent more likely to report an experience of congestive heart failure
The Food Bank is committed to working towards a future where all seniors
have access to nutritious food to stay active and healthy through innovative
programs such as our Senior Mobile Food Pantry and community partnerships
with organizations like Meals on Wheels and AARP. During Older Americans
Month we are reminded that together we can provide hope to seniors in need!

Video: Pope's Book Reaffirms Virgin Birth Of Jesus
Pope Benedict published the last part of his trilogy on the life of Jesus on Tuesday (November 20), delivering an early childhood narrative which strongly reaffirms the doctrine of the virgin birth as an "unequivocal" truth of faith.
The book, titled "The Infancy Narratives - Jesus of Nazareth", is 137-page thick in its English version and being published simultaneously around the world in 21 languages. It is expected to be an international best-seller like the previous volumes.
Divided into a forward, four chapters and an epilogue, it traces and analyzes the gospel narratives from the birth of Jesus to his presentation in the temple at the age of 12.
One section of the book is called "Virgin Birth - Myth or Historical Truth?"
The previous two volumes dealt with the adult life of Jesus and his public ministry.
The Church teaches that Jesus was the son of God and was not conceived through sexual intercourse but by the power of the Holy Spirit, one part of the divine trinity.
In simple language that is academic yet still easily accessible to a non-specialist readership, Benedict says the story of the virgin birth is not just a reworking of earlier Greek or Egyptian legends and archetypal concepts but something totally new in history.
In other sections of the book Benedict discusses the genealogy of Jesus, the figure of St Joseph, the story of the wise men who the Bible says paid tribute to the infant Jesus in the manger in Bethlehem.
Benedict claims that angels didn't sing at Jesus' birth scene and that there is no evidence that cattle and other animals featured in the nativity scene were actually present.
In his two previous volumes on the life of Jesus, Benedict condemned violence committed in God's name and personally exonerated Jews of responsibility for the death of Jesus.

Caribbean diving trip is family affair
Exploring the reefs of the Turks and Caicos Islands
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Sixty feet below the surface of the aquamarine Caribbean, Maddie, my 12-year-old daughter, glided gently along the reef, her arms crossed in Buddha-like meditation. n To the left, out where the sea dropped off hundreds of feet, a black-tipped shark cruised ominously in the near distance. Closer, a curious parrot fish, a school of yellow-striped grunts, and a bug-eyed squirrel fish swam just an arm's length away, perhaps hoping for a handout from our group of six divers and our guide. n Directly below us, a green sea turtle chomped on a chunk of coral, oblivious to our presence. I moved in to photograph its sleek head and it didn't move an inch.
The visibility was more than 80 feet, and we could see other divers from our Beaches Resort boat off in the distance. The tips of the sea anemones fluttered in the mild current and a bright orange tube sponge seemed to jump out from the surrounding coral.
It was a far cry from a recent outing we'd had in Devil's Lake in southern Wisconsin, about 30 miles from our home in Madison. There, the "viz" — as divers call it — in this murky freshwater lake was a mere five feet, if that.
It was only this past summer that Maddie, a sixth-grader, had gotten her open water SCUBA certification. Though diving in the Great Lakes can offer great visibility — often well over 60 feet — it can't compare with the pleasantly warm Caribbean. (Besides, there aren't any sea turtles, manta rays, lobsters or sharks in Lake Michigan or Superior, which border Wisconsin to the east and north, respectively.)
Back on the surface after her first saltwater dive, Maddie told me and her mother, Kathleen:
"This is great. I never thought I'd see a shark right away. And that turtle was totally cool. Thank you so much for bringing me here."
Fifty minutes later, after we'd munched on sandwiches and fruit and let dissolved nitrogen gas escape from our bloodstream, we were ready for another go. Maddie did a giant stride into the water, followed by her mother and the rest of the crew.
We dropped to the bottom, swam through a coral tunnel and came upon a colorful lionfish. Known to scientists as the Pterois and native to the Indian and Pacific oceans, this critter has red, white and black bands, fan fins that look like a lion's manes and — here's the kicker — poisonous spiky fin rays.
We'd been instructed not to touch anything in the underwater preserve where we were diving, and for this football-sized beast, that was especially true. Its venom, delivered from an array of up to 18 needlelike dorsal fins, is painful and can even cause breathing problems. (Fortunately, it's usually not fatal.)
Unlike other aquatic creatures that are threatened, lionfish are troublemakers — an invasive species — in this part of the world because they are ferocious predators. That's why locals are encouraged to capture and eat them.
But, with their poisonous spines, that's been a bit of a hard sell. Still, the fish are a delicacy in Asia and some restaurants here and in the Bahamas, just to the northwest, serve them.
Further on, we found a pair of brightly colored nudibranchs — a kind of marine snail — perched on an outstretched arm of fan coral. Nearby, a pair of lobsters hunkered down in a small cave, trying their best to avoid our attention.
And on it went. Over the next few days, we saw more sharks, plenty of four-eyed butterfly fish, blue tangs, starfish, boxlike spiny puffers, goatfish, moray eels and even some narrow pipe fish.

Handwritten lyrics to Bob Dylan's classic hit "Like a Rolling Stone" are to be sold at auction in New York in June.
Dylan wrote his career-changing song in pencil on small sheets of hotel stationery in 1965, and the manuscript features corrections and revisions as well as doodles in the margin and notes about the singer/songwriter's life.
The lyrics are being sold by a Californian friend and business associate of the singer, who bought it from him three years ago. Accompanying the manuscript is a letter from Dylan's lawyer verifying its authenticity.
Experts at Sotheby's have described the manuscript as "the most significant piece of rock material to appear at auction," and expect bids to reach $1.6 million.
The auction will take place in New York on June 24.

Hemp Protein, Hemp Seeds and Hemp Oil special!Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
This was one of the first specials that I ran on opensky, but since people love hemp and use a lot of it, I wanted to run this again. Make sure you order this quickly as this special will run out fast. It's a popular item!
Remember, you have to be signed up to receive my specials. Signing up is easy and free!
One of the biggest questions I get asked about going raw is how to get enough protein. We all know that dark green leafies are the highest source, but what about when you're on the run?
If I can't sit down to a full meal or when I just want a boost, hemp products are my go-to quick and nutritious solution.
You can make a delicious smoothie with hemp powder (a great way to quickly replenish your muscles after a heavy workout!). Sprinkle hempseeds on top of salads, raw ice cream, even brownies. Prep a tasty salad dressing in advance using hemp oil to ensure you're getting those all-important omega oils.
All three are easy ways to power up and feel great!
Here's the recipe for my favorite power boost smoothie recipe:
- Nutiva hemp powder

June 1, 2016
The Mississippi Supreme Court won't hear the post-conviction claims of Ricky Scruggs, who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the death of an 83-year-old Olive Branch woman in 2003.
A DeSoto County judge denied Scruggs' post-conviction petition in 2009. The state Court of Appeals upheld the trial judge in May.
Scruggs pleaded guilty to murder in 2006. He sought a new trial, claiming he only pleaded guilty because he feared a death sentence.
The Appeals Court says the court record showed the trial judge questioned Scruggs about his decision and Scruggs agreed he understood the consequences of pleading guilty.
Prosecutors say Scruggs was among three men arrested after they used duct tape on Anna "Maxine" Andrews' face and head causing her to suffocate.
In a separate case, the Mississippi Supreme Court declined to hear a petition for a new trial from a man convicted in an armed robbery and shooting at a Mississippi restaurant in 2005.
Ferlando Esco had claimed a co-defendant had recanted testimony implicating him.
The state Court of Appeals in June sided with the trial judge, saying Esco's guilt had been established by other evidence in the case. It also said the co-defendant's recantation lacked credibility. Esco was sentenced to life in prison.
The Supreme Court declined to hear Esco's claims.
Prosecutors say he and two other men shot a Canton man in the parking lot of McDonald's on U.S. Highway 51 in Madison. Two other men pleaded guilty in the case.

February is open enrollment month for school choice in Bay County, and school officials are hoping to remind parents of their upcoming decision.
Friday, Bay District schools unveiled their school choice billboard. The reminder is right across from Panama City Mall, where next Saturday, schools will have their special programs on display for parents and students to see what each school has to offer.
"We want to be flexible, we know that every school is not a perfect fit for all of the students who are zoned for that school, so this will give parents an opportunity. Sometimes it has to do with where a parent is working and it may be more convenient for them to go to a school where the parent has their job," says James McCalister, Bay Schools Superintendent.
Parents can pick up enrollment cards at your child's school or at the district office on Balboa Avenue in Panama City.

I'm trying to write a filter using wildcards to match the spammers I'm getting slammed by.
The spam is from emails that look like I could effectively match against them somewhat uniquely because they include a subdomain and several dashes.
for example:
I would like to create a filters like:
From / matches wildcard condition / *@*-*.*.com
but I cannot get it to match.
Through trial and error the only match I have been able to get so far is *-* which is clearly too broad. Other things that do NOT match include x* *com so I'm at a loss how this wildcard works.
Can anybody explain more specifically how the wildcard works and what its limitations are and/or help me write a filter that works?
I have read what online documentation I could find and am familiar with regular expressing matching in various languages, so I do not need to re-read the lesson in how to match for "w*banana".
I'm using a commercial webmail service that runs zimbra, so I have no idea what the specs under the hood are.

COLUMBUS - After two days at the Ohio Wrestling State Tournament at Ohio State University, Steubenville Big Red senior Greg Moray has himself one step away from greatness.
On the strength of a 25-second pin of Greenfield McClain's Brandon Davis in the quarterfinals, and a 12-2 major decision over Hamilton Ross' Frank Heimkreiter in the semifinals, Moray (37-0) reached today's 220-pound final against Wauseon's Zane Krall (41-3). Krall made it to the final with an 11-0 major decision over Sandusky Perkins' Kordell Chaney. The state championship matches are scheduled to start at 5:45 p.m.
"He (Krall) was in the other half of the bracket last year, and he and Greg lost to the same kid," Big Red coach Mike Blackburn. "He's pretty talented. We watched him a little. He's an active 220-pounder. What really stood out is he looked like he was pretty good on top.
"Greg will definitely have to wrestle a good match."
Also assuring himself of a spot on the podium is Big Red freshman Tariq Wilson at 106 pounds.
Wilson (48-6) came back from a 24-7 tech fall loss to St. Paris Graham Local's Eli Stickley to down Mogadore Field's Cory Simpson 6-3, and keep hopes for a third-place finish alive.
He faces Milan Edison's Evan Cheek in the consolation semifinals today at 10 a.m.
A win over Cheek puts Wilson in the third-place match, a loss sees him wrestle for fifth. Those matches are scheduled for 11 a.m.
Anthony Craig (34-5) at 126 pounds and Anthony Parada (39-10) at 132 pounds of Big Red were eliminated during Friday's action.
Big Red sits at eighth-place overall going into today's matches.
In Division III, Shadyside's Alex Quinn will go for the 152-pound crown against Norwayne's Kollin Moore.
Quinn advanced by pinning Bluffton's Zach Wilson in 2:40.
Martins Ferry's Damon Outward remains alive for third place at 126, while Shadyside's Ian Baker is in the hunt at 145 and River's Joe Dotson is alive at 220.

Desegregation of Romani Education in Bulgaria
During the past decade Romani education has always been among the problems which both governments and non-governmental organisations across Central and Eastern Europe have been trying to solve. After more than a decade, however, even the most serious, the most funded and the most comprehensive attempts to raise the educational status of Roma did not succeed. The worst tendencies affecting Romani education -- high drop-out rates, low educational achievement, and exclusion from school, persisted. The general status of Romani education did not improve, on the contrary it deteriorated. Hence, the prospects for Roma to overcome the social exclusion also dwindled.
Looking at the approaches to Romani education over these years, the explanation to this situation is simple. Most of the educational initiatives, be they governmental or non-governmental, operated within the status quo of the segregated educational systems. Purposefully or not, these initiatives have been striving to breathe life into a concept long dead -- the concept that separate can be equal. This has been taking place despite the fact that the results of the existence of separate educational systems for Roma have been all too obvious: an ever-growing number of uneducated Roma, an ever-growing number of Roma excluded from the life opportunities available for non-Roma, and an ever-deepening division along ethnic lines in society. Money and human resource have poured into the segregated schools for the Roma be they all-Romani ghetto schools or the schools for mentally handicapped, helping them to survive, keeping the Romani children there and multiplying from year to year the numbers of uneducated Roma.
In the recent years, a new movement is gaining ground in Europe. This movement has articulated segregated education of Roma as the root cause for the lack of equal educational opportunities for Roma. It is trying to channel the numerous yet haphazard initiatives for Romani education towards the dismantling of the segregated educational system. It is no wonder that the leaders of this movement are Roma who themselves enjoyed the benefits of integrated education. Their voices are becoming sharper, and their message is unequivocal -- Romani education should be desegregated. Most recently, during the Open Society/World Bank conference "Roma in an Expanding Europe", the Romani representatives of seven countries in Central and Eastern Europe addressed their governments and the international community with a declaration, stating: "In education, we want to integrate the school systems, to desegregate the schools and the classrooms, and to provide equal, and quality education to Roma in the domestic school system from preschool to university."
A serious impetus to this movement has been given by Romani non-governmental organisations which demonstrated in practice how the problem of Romani education should be dealt with. In the school year 2000-2001 the Open Society Institute Roma Participation Program (RPP) initiated a pilot desegregation project in Vidin, Bulgaria, led by a local Romani non-governmental organisation. The goal of the project was to ensure equal education for the Romani children of the Vidin Nov Pat Romani settlement by transferring them to the Vidin's mainstream schools. The project started with the bussing of around 300 Romani children from the Romani ghetto school. This number grew in the following two years, reaching more than 700 children in the school year 2003-2004 or over 70% of all children attending school in the Romani neighbourhood of Vidin. In the meantime, the RPP supported another 6 desegregation initiatives in Bulgaria based on the Vidin model. Beyond their own value of ensuring equal education for more than 2000 Romani children in Bulgaria, these projects also have a strategic goal: They are meant to demonstrate that the desegregation of the Romani ghetto schools in Bulgaria is a feasible undertaking which, if carefully planned and executed, would not lead to social collisions or any further exclusion of Romani children from the educational system. The successful implementation of the desegregation projects in Bulgaria was used as a tool by Romani NGOs and human rights activists to pressure the Bulgarian government to take responsibility for a nation-wide desegregation process of Romani education. In other words, the grass-root desegregation initiatives were aimed at achieving a long-term, nation-wide effect on the educational status of Roma by providing a model for governmental policies on Romani education.
Currently all of this projects are supported by Roma Education Fund(REF).For six years now, the success of the desegregation projects in Bulgaria has dispelled the fears and misconceptions accompanying the public debate about the possibility of integrating Romani children in education. Prior to the start of the Vidin desegregation project, the following misconceptions existed:
Romani parents will not allow their children to attend school outside the Romani neighbourhoods: Many people argued that because of fears of racist harassment and attacks on the Romani children in the majority environment, the Romani parents would obstruct the desegregation efforts. Another assertion was that due to their low educational aspirations, Roma are indifferent to the quality of education their children receive and would have no motivation to send them in a school offering higher quality education. The desegregation initiatives in Bulgaria, however, made obvious the fact that when Romani parents have certainty that their children will be taken good care of away from the Romani neighbourhoods, they are willing to change the all-Romani ghetto school for a better one even though it may be far away from their neighbourhood. Furthermore, it was obvious that when the Romani parents are aware of the inferior quality of the education their children would receive in the ghetto school and the disadvantages for the children, they do not object to desegregation. Moreover, many Romani parents did not need to be persuaded that their children would have a better future if they go to school together with non-Romani children; all they needed was support to transfer their children to non-Romani schools.
Romani children will not be accepted in non-Romani schools: Although such fears were not unreasonable, hostility of the non-Roma towards Roma at school proved to be possible to control and overcome. Incidents of racial harassment of the Romani children were exceptions; with the interference of the Romani supervisors placed by the Romani NGOs at each school such incidents had been prevented and remedied when necessary and their occurrence did not discourage Romani children from continuing their education in the integrated schools.
Non-Romani parents will withdraw their children from the schools which receive Romani children: No "white flight" of any significant proportions took place. Despite the tensions in the first months after the transfer of the Romani children to the integrated schools, the non-Romani parents did not react by withdrawing their children. After the first year, the issue of non-Romani parents protesting against the higher number of Romani children in the schools was forgotten. Similar had been the reaction on the part of the teachers in the integrated schools. Although they had reservations regarding the quality of the educational process after the enrolment of the Romani children and some of them even treated Romani children in a discriminatory way, the timely and adequate interference of representatives of the Romani organisations solved these problems.
Romani children will not be able to meet the higher standards of the mainstream schools: Fears that the Romani children would fail to meet the higher standards in the integrated schools, proved unjustified. With adequate academic support most of the Romani children reached the level of their non-Romani peers and by the end of the first year had success comparable to that of the non-Romani children.
The desegregation projects in Bulgaria operated in the specific context of educational segregation existing in this country. This context is characterised by the prevalence of all-Romani ghetto schools based in the Romani ghettos. The Bulgarian model can be implemented in other countries where ghetto schools exist like Romania and Slovakia. Other forms of segregated education such as the special schools for mentally handicapped children or the all-Romani classes in the mainstream schools require different types of action. The Bulgarian model, however, provides some essential rules, which are applicable to all countries, regardless of the patterns of segregation existing in them:
1. Romani-led desegregation action: Everywhere Romani organisations took the lead in carrying out the desegregation activities. This made possible building relations of trust with the Romani parents and eventually persuading them to enrol their children in the schools outside the Romani settlements. The role models that the Romani individuals themselves presented to the community were also important for the process. The leading role of the Romani organisations in the desegregation process has also a far-reaching effect of promoting the value of Romani participation in the implementation of policies which affect the Romani community. It was important to show to the public that Roma are taking responsibility for decisions affecting their lives.
2. All inclusive desegregation campaign and action: The process of desegregation has a direct impact on a number of groups in society. Apart from Romani parents and children, desegregation would also enter the lives of non-Romani parents, children and teachers. All these groups should be prepared to experience the process and participate in it. Romani parents and children; non-Romani parents and children; teachers in the integrated schools and teachers in the segregated schools, were all approached separately and well in advance of the beginning of the desegregation actions. In the first place, it was necessary to persuade Romani parents to enrol their children in the mainstream schools. Secondly, the desegregation initiatives had to overcome the resistance of non-Romani parents to the placement of Roma in the schools where there were no Roma up to that moment. Thirdly, successful desegregation of Roma can take place if the school environment where the Romani children will go is prepared to accept them. Even if the school formally accepted to enrol Romani children, teachers and non-Romani children have to be sensitised and involved in activities which challenge the stereotypes towards Roma.
3. Continuous support for the Romani children transferred from segregated into integrated schools: Given the inferior quality of the education that Roma received in the segregated schools, it is not realistic to expect them to achieve the same results as their non-Romani peers without any support. The mere transfer of the children in the integrated schools without any further care for their adaptation to the new school could be counterproductive and undermine the success of the desegregation process. Academic support should come from the school itself in the form of supplementary school programs.
As a result of the desegregation process we already have several documents adopted by the government:

To start your snowblower in the morning? My neighbor decided to fire his up at 4:50am this morning and it kept me up for almost 30 minutes. Not a great way to start the week.
I didnt hear any today. Most everyone was just using the shovel. I wondered that same thing though as I shoveled - not because of my neighbors but wondered if I'd wake all my kids up. Guess I'll keep on using my back instead!
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
Ill trade you neighbors.
Mine cant snowblow in a straight line while drinking (or hungover) and ends up taking a nice chunk of my yard out while trying to clear off the sidewalk... Did I add that I usually have already done the sidewalk with my much better snowblower ?
On to your original question, If I leave for work at 5:30 am ...When am I supposed to do it ? If you snowblow my driveway for me (and do just paved surfaces), I'll gladly stop.
I left my house at 5:30 and didn't snowblow but nearly every neighbor was outside by that time doing it. I would say that 5am is the absolute earliest but in reality the city of Johnston snow trucks usually wake me up every time they go by anyway.
I wondered this as well this morning. I started mine up at 5:45am and it took me about 20 minutes. I have to be on the road by 6:45am to work so I don't really have much choice. I don't think this is as offensive as mowing your lawn in the early/late hours during the summer because windows are shut...or maybe I am just trying to justify firing up my snowblower at 5:45am this morning?
Some people have to work very early (fortunately we don't)...when else are they supposed to do it?
I don't think there is a too early. If someone has to leave for work earlier than others, well, they still need to get the drive/sidewalks cleared.
I leave for work before 5:00 every morning and that is the reason I don't own a snowblower. My neighbors all seem to like me and I want to keep it that way!!

During the week I don't think it as big of a deal since you have to go to work anyway, 4:30 is a bit extreme, but if you are the only one going to do it I can understand it. My neighbor in Ankeny would be out there by 5:30 everyday, including the weekends! He was retired, I never figured out why he had to be the first to get it done, and his driveway was right next to our bedroom, man I hated that. After snowblowing the driveway, he would make sure to take a metal scoop and get it perfectly clean. I will not miss that this winter!
How much snow did you guys get down there?
Barely a dusting up here.
Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

From my 4th floor room I would say 2ish inches. But I have yet to go outside. No class till noon.

I live in on the west side of Ames and I'd say there was two inches. It was really dry and light too so was easy to shovel.

Going a long way in the 3,200
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Kanawha Valley runners swept the Class AAA 3,200-meter runs Friday night at the Gazette/Friends of Coal Relays, and both have come a long way - neither was a factor a year ago.
George Washington junior Matthew Brafford failed to reach the top six in last year's state meet. Hurricane senior Emily Schwendiman didn't even run the distance until this year.
"I said, 'Nope, never running it,' " Schwendiman said after her 4-second victory. "But then [assistant coach Jason Henley] put me in it. He has a plan for everything; I trust him. He said it would make me faster in the mile."
She is just faster, period. As a junior, she finished just 11th in the 1,600 and 12th in the 800 in the state meet. As she showed Friday night, she likely won't finish that low in the 1,600 or that "new" event, the 3,200.
She faced a rematch against Capital's Peyton Panger, who dusted her by 12 seconds two weeks ago in the BB&T Classic. This time, Schwendiman deserted her competition during the sixth of eight laps, with Panger falling to fourth.
"My coach kind of had a strategy just to go out with Peyton, because she likes to go out fast," Schwendiman said. "And last time, that's where she got me. I could never get her."
Brafford simply went out front and stayed there, comfortably beating future Air Force runner Ryan Graf of Jefferson. The margin may have been comfortable, but Brafford refused to finish that way, nearly needing medical attention afterward.
He finished in 9:17.98, 7-plus seconds better than his previous best and the best time for anybody in the state not named Jacob Burcham. The Cabell Midland senior, heading to Oklahoma, has taken his sub-9-minute marks to out-of-state meets, including the Eastern Relays this weekend in Louisville, Ky.
Brafford started his breakout season with a second-place finish in the state cross country meet.
"This is by far the best race I've ever had," he said. "My whole goal this season is to break 9:20. . . . This is the most important year for me to get my times down so colleges will look at me and just get my name out there."
In boys Class A, Buffalo's Dylan Rich took an easy victory in what he called his first competitive 3,200. In AA, defending state champ Will Shaffer received a rude awakening from Fairmont Senior's Nick Trefz and Bridgeport's Abe Merinar, whose schools dropped down from AAA. Shaffer clipped more than 4 seconds off his season best, yet finished third.
Most of those distance specialists and many other runners will be back in action today when the Relays resumes. Field events begin at 9 a.m., with running events firing up at 10.
St. Albans pulled off a 1-2 finish in the boys AAA discus, with senior Travis Vickers throwing 146 feet, 4 inches and Jacob Lomax tossing 133-6. That put the Red Dragons in third place with 26 points after six events, behind Point Pleasant's 33 and Jefferson's 30.
Take that with a grain of salt - Jefferson, the prohibitive favorite, lost some points with a false start in the shuttle hurdle relay.
Bridgeport is leading Webster County 42-411/2 in boys AA, and has run up a 72-26 lead over Scott on the girls side. Doddridge County is leading Buffalo in boys Class A 38-26, and is trailing Tyler Consolidated 39-35 on the girls side.
In girls AAA, Gahanna Lincoln, near Columbus, Ohio, has a 36-34 lead over Hurricane, with the Emily Godwin-less Buckhannon-Upshur team third with 32.
Buffalo's boys and Charleston Catholic's girls started the meet by winning the Class A 4x800-meter relay. Back to full strength, the Bison's relay squad consisted of Isaiah Robinson, Tyler Torman, Connor Lamb and Rich. Their time of 8:35.43 was 9-plus seconds better than Charleston Catholic.
That was about 5 seconds behind the Bison's meet record of 2012, but coach Richie Wyant was well pleased.
"It was a good, steady run," Wyant said. "We didn't expect to come up here and set the world on fire tonight, and we really and truly led it from start to finish and weren't pushed. It was a good run for us; everybody should be ready for the other events."
The Irish dominated the girls 4x800 race, beating Tyler Consolidated by more than 20 seconds. That quartet featured Sarah Joseck, Quincy McKown, Peyton Keener and Amanda Lane, and they ran in a season-best 10:28.40.
And that came despite the absence of Peyton Mullen, the Irish's fastest 800 runner.
"We've now got four girls who are under 2:40, and actually under 2:35 and down," said Catholic coach Scott Welch. "[Joseck] was just filling in, but now she's in. We're very optimistic; we knocked 18 seconds off our best time in that race."
Poca went 1-3 in the boys AA long jump, with A.J. Keys's 18-81/4 jump leading the way. Teammate Caleb Samples went 17-71/4.
