impact, you're right. But America didn't become a majority freeloader nation overnight. Liberals have been destroying American moral values, dumbing down America's intelligence level, and encouraging Americans to feel entitled to lives of dependence on Government handouts for decades.
Unfortunately for you, that's all a vote-buying Ponzi scam. And like all Ponzi scams it will fail, sooner than later. And when it does, conservatives will be prepared to responsibly provide for themselves, while liberals will be shocked to discover the supply of free stuff really is limited, and Government really isn't looking out for them.
And you call $6 TRILLION in new debt dumped on our children, 22.4 MILLION jobless Americans, and a RECORD 48.2 MILLION Americans on food stamps a "good job"? LOL
Enjoy the riots, libbies. Because you built that.

Unless you are someone involved in a personality cult I cannot imagine why anyone would want to watch the SOTU address from any President. It does not speak to issues, its just a big political rah rah and hope to focus attention away from the problems of the administration. For example, we are being groomed to watch for his talk about the economy. Five yrs into his terms and he is going to finally address the economy? We now being fed statistics that indicate we are really going great now, but that does not show up in the important stats, stock index, unemployment,etc. So why talk about the economy? So we don't think about the number of wars and countries Obama has decided to spend US soldiers lives and meddle in squabbles that have gone on for centuries. We are not to think about that. Will he remind us now that he is forming a 9,000 man strike force to intervene in up to 30 African countries? Nope, he is going to sell us a sack of sunshine, if that works you up U are a sucker

Govt. unemployment rate vs real unemployment rate...both rates going back up....when Reagan was in office the country actually still had a manufacturing base to rebuild the countries wealth...today this country has very little manfacturing base to build on...a country will not build wealth for it's people by just expanding debts for social programs and have the health care business become the major business expansion..obama has painted himself into a corner..intentional or not..needs to cut spendin..and so will cut defense,can't cut people in need...but by cutting defense, unemployment will go up...gee, how about giving tax credits for manufacturing expansions? well,sorry but major manufacturing jobs have left the country..oh well..we can expand the wealfare state..at least they will continue to vote Dem..because they will depend upon their Govt. checks..don't worry,we can just print more funny money..it'll be ok..by the time all hits the fan, I'll be out of office,anblame the Repubs.

And for those who like to harp on the number of Americans needing a safety net, I would like to remind you of this: January 2009 CNN Money "NEW YORK (CNNMoney****) -- Employers slashed another 598,000 jobs off of U.S. payrolls in January, taking the unemployment rate up to 7.6%, according to the latest government reading on the nation's battered labor market.
The latest job loss is the worst since December 1974, and brings job losses to 1.8 million in just the last three months, or half of the 3.6 million jobs that have been lost since the beginning of 2008."

The Union is now an astronomical $16.5 TRILLION in debt. A RECORD $6 TRILLION of that accumulated in only four Obama years. With no Federal Budget in the last four Obama years and only a "tax the rich even more plan" to get our impending economic train wreck under control.
The Union now has a RECORD 48.2 MILLION Americans surviving on Food Stamps. 22.4 MILLION Americans STILL unemployed or underemployed. Wars in the Middle East STILL raging.
And where is the President's focus? On infringing Americans' Second Amendment rights, further raising Americans' taxes, and granting amnesty to illegal aliens.
THAT is our State of the Union. Expect anything but those truths from the Campaigner in Chief's "hope and change, take two" address.

Sen. Rockefeller champions fiscal cliff tax cut extensions
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Fiscal cliff legislation passed by Congress at 2:30 a.m. on New Year's Day will continue tax cuts and benefits for 99.7 percent of West Virginia's families, Sen. Jay Rockefeller said.
"If Congress had failed to pass this bill, tax credits that help low- and middle-income West Virginia families pay their bills and afford college would have disappeared," Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said in a statement released Thursday morning.
"I refused to let that happen, despite warped efforts by House Republicans to place more of the burden on those already hurting."
Sen. Joe Manchin and Rep. Nick J. Rahall, both D-W.Va., also voted for the legislation, while Reps. Shelley Moore Capito and David McKinley, both R-W.Va., voted against it.
Rockefeller believes the legislation passed on Tuesday will help narrow the income gap "between the very wealthy and those who work but struggle every day, especially in a tough economy."
Under the legislation, only individuals who make more than $400,000 a year, and families that make more than $450,000, will see their tax rates return to the higher rates assessed when Bill Clinton was president.
The new legislation did not continue the payroll tax cut passed in 2010 that reduced Social Security taxes from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent.
Rockefeller believes the payroll tax cut "should have continued temporarily in a way that still protected Social Security.
"But, even without the payroll tax cut,' he said, "this bill significantly benefits West Virginians, and the net total puts more money in West Virginians' pockets."
The new legislation also keeps several tax credits and advantages in place, which would have disappeared on New Year's Day if the legislation had not passed.
Tax cuts for individuals and families, re-enacted for five years, include:
Tax cuts for economic development, coal mine safety and school construction in the fiscal cliff legislation include:
Rockefeller wrote the legislation creating the NMTC in 2006 and fought successfully to expand it under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009.
Rockefeller also mentioned:
Today, West Virginia is the country's second largest producer of railroad ties. This tax credit is especially helpful to rural areas where short-line railroads are often the only transportation available to help companies ship their products.
In addition to these tax credits, Rockefeller pointed out, the legislation also continued unemployment benefits for about 10,000 West Virginians actively looking for jobs.
There are another 29,000 unemployed West Virginians receiving state benefits who could receive federal unemployment benefits until the end of 2013, if they are needed.

Silica Glass Block Coated with a Copper Layer
Application ID: 452
In this time-dependent model, a silica block of glass, coated with a thin copper layer is subjected to a heat flux. Copper is a highly conductive material, while the silica glass is of poor thermal conductivity, which sets up an highly-varied temperature differential.
The model must therefore account for a highly conductive layer. This is done, using a the Highly Conductive Layer feature in the Heat Transfer interface from the Heat Transfer Module.
For comparison, we've included the same model with a copper layer as a 2D domain. In this case, the copper domain requires a very dense mesh.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers have missed their
closer over the last three games.
A pair of J.J. Hickson go-ahead free throws with 45.2 seconds remaining lifted
the Portland Trail Blazers to a 101-100 triumph over the Chris Paul-less
Portland netted the final 10 points of the contest.
Without Paul in the lineup, Los Angeles didn't tally a point over the final
Paul sat out his third contest in a row with a bruised right kneecap, an
injury which has caused him to miss six tilts so far this season. The Clippers
have lost a season-high four straight since winning 24 of 27.
The team is 3-3 without Paul overall this year.
Nicolas Batum registered a triple-double with 20 points, 12 assists and 10
rebounds, while Damian Lillard added 20 points for Portland, which has won two
straight on the heels of a six-game losing streak.

Sitting on the sideline for 16 months turned out to be a good thing for Sean Sherk (33-4-1 MMA, 7-4 UFC), who meets Evan Dunham (11-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 119.
For one, it allowed the former UFC lightweight champion to heal up after a litany of injuries hurt his performances inside the octagon.
But it also allowed Sherk the time to fall back in love with the sport, and he's dying to test himself against the promotion's new stars.
"I'm sitting on the sidelines and watching this sport evolve and everything go on without me," Sherk told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "It really made me not only miss what I was doing, but it gave me that desire and drive to come back. I've got to be a part of this. I've got to get myself healthy. I've got to get better."
Sherk was supposed to come back on three separate occasions. After a heartbreaking loss to now-champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 98, he was scheduled to meet Gleison Tibau at UFC 104 before he suffered a grade two separation of his shoulder in training and couldn't move his arms for a month. He then suffered a five-stich cut prior to a fight with Rafaello Oliveira which forced him off UFC 108. Yet another injury kept him from meeting Clay Guida at UFC on Versus 1.
By the end of that bad run, the writing was on the wall – either he was going to get healthy, or his career would dwindle away.
"The issue was I just never took time to take care of my body," Sherk said. "I always beat my body up, and then after my fights were over, I never really took the time to let myself rehab and recover properly before jumping back in to another training camp.
"People have been telling me for years and years and years – 'Sherk, you've got to slow down. You're overtraining, you're doing too much, you're not taking the proper rest and recovery.' I always blew everybody off."
Sherk sought out doctors who helped him rehab his injuries, and for the first time in 11 years of fighting, he stayed away from the gym. That meant he could actually watch the sport instead of hearing things second hand from inside the bubble of training camp.
What he saw was a rapid evolution.
"Every time I watch fights, I see these lightweights on TV," he said. "I see these guys throwing down, and I'm just like, 'Who in the world is this guy? I've never even heard of this guy.' And the guy just looks tough as nails. These guys are just coming out of the woodworks."
Dunham is one of those lightweights that's exploded onto the scene to become a serious threat in the division.
"He's a solid, three-dimensional fighter," Sherk said. "I think he's a smart fighter in putting together good game plans. So I think he's going to pose some problems all-around. Every area we get into, I don't see any weaknesses, so for me, I think I'm just going to have to impose my will and impose my strengths. That's pretty much how I'm going to approach this thing."
In his rise to lightweight champion, Sherk used a relentless attack of takedowns and ground and pound to smother his opponents, so it's not hard to catch his drift about the strategy he'll employ against the up-and-comer.
Sherk believes Dunham will jumpstart another run at the lightweight belt.
"The road back to a title isn't that far off," he said. "Dunham is a top contender, and should I get by Dunham, I think I'll end up fighting another top contender, and then I should be looking at a title fight."
For perhaps the first time in several years, Sherk said he's free of the injuries that kept him from using his strengths.
He also has a new appreciation for what he's been missing, and what he's in for when he returns to the octagon.
"To be lightweight champion means something," he said. "It means that you're on top of the toughest weight division in the world, and that's where I want to be again."

On Windows 8
MS will take advantage of the Windows 8 launch to clean things up. The OS bids farewell to Windows Live ID, which will be now 'Microsoft Account'
Microsoft just announced that Windows Live will be re-branded as "Microsoft Account" with the release of Windows 8.
They will take advantage of the new OS launch to clean things up and apparently, the the cloud services featured in the OS will be an update to the Live platform, in which users will create an identity to be used across Microsoft services such as Xbox 360 to SkyDrive and more.
Also, MS released an explanatory video of these changes. Check it out below!Along with this change, Microsoft is also streamlining the naming conventions behind some key Live services now, the Windows Live Calendar, Contacts, and MSN Messenger will be renamed in a fashion similar to Windows Phone. They'll just be known as the Calendar, People, and Messaging apps, respectively. It also looks Microsoft is simplifying its mail branding, as well: while hotmail.com will continue to be Microsoft's mail portal, the Windows Live Mail branding is going away, with the service simply being referred to as the Mail app in Windows 8 and Windows phone.

Associerade Organisationer till FSFE
Associerade Organisationer är oberoende av FSFE och är helt självgående. De sköts totalt i egen regi och organisation i alla aspekter (som till exempel medlemskap, stadgar, ekonomi och så vidare).
Att vara associerad betyder att vara formellt allierad och att ha direkt access till FSFE. Associerade organisationer är vanligtvis med i den interna kommunikationsprocessen. Vi jobbar också tillsammans på till exempel mässor och andra händelser.
Eftersom en hel del av vårt dagliga arbete ofta görs av frivilliga från associerade organisationer, så är ett bra sätt att bli involverad i FSFE aktiviteter att gå med i en associerad organisation.

Creating photography resolutions in the new year
As the New Year approaches many of us start to think about resolutions, goals and areas we'd like to make changes to in our personal lives. Let's take that one step further and relate them to our photography! The key (or so I'm told) to keeping resolutions is to be as specific as possible and pin point the exact spots you're looking to improve. This list is expansive and even a bit overwhelming. At some point we have to realize(…)

by Jennifer Sey
I've been a tad ponderous lately. Perhaps it is turning 40. Perhaps it is just having kids that are old enough to ask: "Are you sad mommy? You seem a little down." Perhaps it is merely a normal cadence in life; there are times for enjoying, there are times for self-reflection. Regardless of the why, I've come to a truly new insight about myself.
I've come to understand that shame triggers sadness, even depression, of pretty significant proportions in me. This has been a light bulb moment of the tallest order, one that officially materialized when I read Ayelet Waldman's essay "Rocket" from her book, "Bad Mother". In this piece she acknowledged the utter self-reproach incited by choosing to terminate a pregnancy in which there was potentially something wrong with the baby. She chose herself over the unborn child.
For me, shame brought on by choosing myself over anyone else, incites the absolute depths of despair. It sends me into a swirling spiral of doom. It knots my stomach, clenches my jaw and generates an anxiety of such intense energy it could clean my house in seconds flat (and does on occasion). It chokes me in a manner that makes it hard not to cry at inopportune moments. When shame hits, tears threaten to invade the most placid and unassuming moments.
It has taken me many years to understand this about myself, but it has been present since I was conscious. I felt shame in the first grade when my new class sat in a semi-circle and I read the words out loud that the teacher wrote on the blackboard, without having to string the letters together in rudimentary fashion. I quickly became aware, when I heard my voice and mine alone, that not another child in the room could read yet. I wished that I could've sucked the words back in my mouth. It seemed boastful – as if I was trying to make the other kids feel badly - to have made sense of the letters on the board. I blushed and tears, inexplicable to my new teacher, poured from my eyes.
In the fifth grade, I was caught cheating on a test. I slyly (or so I thought) gave someone else the answers, currying favor for just a lick of popularity. I was not very slick in the breaking the rules department and was called out and scolded by the teacher. "We'll need to tell your mother." I nodded sick with worry that my dedicated stay-at-home mom would feel like a horrible parent for having such a dishonest child. I was shocked when I received no punishment.
wow jen. as I was reading it my own shame rose to the surface. that combined with the new level of guilt is a volatile combination isn't it? my favorite line is your last one. i actually chuckled bc that is so fitting. of course. as soon as your psyche lets it go, you will then berate yourself for feeling that way in the first place. someone recently told me when i was having a bad (and shameful day) its just a day jessica. its just a day. and for some reason, i really liked it and still find comfort in those words. might sound strange. i think my worst shameful moment was the night before i went back to work. i was sobbing in fear and shame and guilt from such a deep place, i felt inconsolable and like a child. a true child that was in that ultimate exhausted state and just needed sleep and a pacifier to make it all better. :)
you have such a way of bringing me there with you. thank you for your honesty, your candidness and your truth.
think pride, not shame. your children are beautiful and your accomplishments unimaginable to most. the only word i can think of as i think of you is pride. no more shame, only good thoughts!!!

Ended up buying a MT bear tag OTC. I'll head out in a couple weeks and see if I can find a color phase boar.
The ranger station tells me there are bears out but the roads are still bad. In fact, they got nearly a foot of snow a couple nights ago! I'm praying for warm weather over the next 2-3 weeks.

Amber Mud Masque - Dead Sea Mud & Chamomile
Soothe, heal and cleanse the body and mind! The natural healing properties of Dead Sea Mud and selected clays are blended with essential oils which are rich in anti-inflammatory, desensitizing and healing properties (Lavender, Chamomile, Damania, Marigold, Lime, Cornflower and St. John's Wort).
I had tried the Lotus Touch Botanical Mud Powder and wasn't a huge fan; it smelled very fishy to me and filled my treatment spa with that odor. I also didn't care for the consistency (and I did experiment with different water levels and adding essential oils to see if I could make myself like it). I was used to using the Biotone Baltic Mud, which I loved, but I wanted to try something else. This is a good choice for me. It has a clean spa smell, was an easy consistent texture, even after sitting in my roaster for an hour. It warmed easily but didn't get too hot. Smooth application and easy to remove as well. I can't get it to dry to a flaky consistency on the skin, but my clients love it anyways and I'm not sure this has that feature. It's a big hit and I will be ordering it again.
I love this...Clean up with no shower!

|Hendrix brings camels, reindeer to the plains
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
When farm animals come up in conversation, camels and reindeer are rarely the first ones thought of by residents of northeastern Colorado. But with growing numbers, Kyle Hendrix is building a herd of exotic animals just south of Holyoke.
Reindeer first caught the eye of a young Hendrix. As early as 10 years old, he was intrigued by the foreign creature. After reading an article in a magazine about the animal, Hendrix was inspired to join the Reindeer Owners and Breeders Association. Sixteen years later, Hendrix owns five reindeer.
Owning the animals has been especially rewarding during the holiday season. In the winter Hendrix and the reindeer take part in exhibits where the reindeer are used for Christmas celebrations. Last year he was involved in 10 shows between Thanksgiving and Christmas, including Holyoke's Country Christmas. He is hoping to double the number of shows he attends this year.
The Hendrix reindeer herd grew by one over the weekend as Bell gave birth to the baby reindeer early
"It's really a lot of fun when you take out the reindeer for Christmas exhibits," Hendrix said. "Just to see the look on people's faces and the smiles of the kids. We can barely get the reindeer off of the trailer without people crowding around."
One thing that has surprised Hendrix since he first acquired reindeer three years ago is the fact that many adults thought reindeer were strictly a fictitious creature made up for Christmas stories.
The plan is to grow the herd size to 30-40 and begin selling offspring every year. Hendrix welcomed the most recent reindeer addition Sunday, June 9 at 2:30 a.m.
Just nine hours earlier, Hendrix was busy with his most recent side project. Saturday around 5 p.m., Dodger the camel was born, bringing the total amount of camels Hendrix owns to seven.
After visiting a buddy in Oklahoma who owned and bred camels, Hendrix decided it was time to bring another uncommon animal to the area.
"I just thought it was a unique deal and something that I wanted to do," Hendrix explained.
Kyle Hendrix shows off his dromedary camels. Dodger, at right, was born Saturday, June 8 to Sasha,
While the reindeer were more of a personal interest to Hendrix, camels offered more of a financial opportunity. Within the last year, the sale of camel milk in grocery stores throughout the U.S. has been approved by the FDA. The milk can also be used to make bars of soap, and the Hendrix family plans to explore both routes.
Having spent some time working in the dairy industry, Hendrix quickly grew fond of the business and is excited about the possibilities camel milk has to offer.
It will be a few years before he will begin the process of selling the milk. First, he would have to get a dairy license and then build a small grade A licensed dairy plant to pasteurize, bottle and freeze the product before shipping it nationwide. According to Hendrix, his will be the first camel dairy in Colorado.
A gallon of the milk can sell for as much as $80 as the cost of production of camel's milk tends to be considerably higher than that of producing cow's milk. Known as the "white gold of the desert," camel milk is said to offer many benefits and even healing properties
Camel milk is closer to human milk than any other milk and has properties that have been studied for their medical benefits. Aside from being a good source of health vitamins and minerals, camel's milk is a rich source of insulin, making it ideal for diabetics. It has also been used to treat many ailments including improving autism symptoms.
Camel milk in beauty products and soap is said to lessen dermatitis symptoms, assist in reducing signs of aging and is an effective cleaner.
Hendrix said the production of camel's milk soap could begin in the next couple of weeks. Although his wife Holly initially thought the idea of owning camels was a bit weird, Hendrix said she is on board as the reindeer and camels have become a family side project with Kyle, Holly and their two sons Evan and Asher.
The camels will also have a role with the reindeer during the winter as they can be included in any Christmas exhibit. Camel rides would be an attraction at any Christmas event. Once Hendrix is able to build the herd, he would like to begin leasing the animals out for more weekend events during the holidays.
Times have been busy for the Hendrix family. They are in the process of moving and in the beginning stages of the camel milk business, not to mention Kyle's work with his father to maintain and operate the 500-600 count beef cow operation and the 3,000 head feed yard. When life settles down a bit, they plan to create a website for the purpose of selling first the soap and then the milk when they are ready.
As far as handling the exotic animals, Hendrix said the time has been a learning experience.
"Camels are completely backwards compared to working with other animals," Hendrix said. "You have to be patient because they are just a trick."
He noted that he enjoys the camels because they are very personable. They want to be petted and they want to show their affection.

As a beginner in deep water and Nitrox diving, I am doing a ton of research and trying to choose the best equipment that will give me the most service life possible. It seems like scuba gear is a lot like computers, in that you get what you pay for and if pay for the best it will satisfy you the longest. Is this set a great way to start as far as equipment goes, for myself and wife?
Hello, this is a great set to start with. Anything in our "top of the line" regulator section would be a good start. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-36/Regulators-High-Performance-Over-400.html
Apeks has developed unique first stages specifically for use on a twinset. The benefits of this system are: minimized risk of accidental snagging, no hose kinking and easier access to the manifold valves. Each first stage has three medium pressure ports and one high pressure port. They are over-balanced, cold water compatible and extremely robust. Tek3 looks great too. Not only is the Tek3 suitable for twinset use but it is equally suitable for single cylinder or stage cylinder configurations offering perfect, snag-free hose positioning.
Tek3 is sold as a complete set with 1 ea. LH Tek3 first stage, 1 ea. RH Tek3 first stage, 2 ea. XTX50 second stages, 1 ea. 2-meter hose, 1 std. length hose and a regulator necklace.
For those that already own two Apeks regulators and would like to take advantage of the new
Tek3 first stages only, p/n AP0367-1, includes a LH Tek3 first stage and a RH
Tek3 first stage in one box.
First Stage:
Compact, solid one-piece body
Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
1 HP port and 3 MP ports are all angles downward
An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out
Maximum working pressure is 300 BAR (4350 psi)
Second Stage:
Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing
The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used. Press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the center for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control
The 2nd stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.
A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator
The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue
A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water
Available for shipment to U.S. zip codes only

Jupiter 2012 12 07
Posted 07 December 2012 - 09:54 AM
How would you guess, I was on my midnight lunch break at work last night, and who knew I might have my Astro Tech 72mm ED doublet in the back seat of the car... Out came the tripod and in went the 3-6mm Nagler Zoom. Seeing was mediocre, but I try not to let that ruffle my feathers anymore. Seeing in New England is seldom great. So I've obviously come to accept that factor and move on with doing what I enjoy doing...atmosphere be ****.
At first glance I was flat out disoriented. What?!? I see the GRS, but where is the trailing thin line in the STB? Oh yeah, duh! Everything is reversed because of the star diagonal. The seeing appeared to be hold at A-III for the most part, although medium periods of turbulence would occasionally trick me into thinking I knocked my focus out. I had roughly 20 minutes to spare, and since it was 28ºF my fingers were more than agreeable with the time limit.
At any rate, I grabbed my gloves, clipboard and 5H pencil...and enjoyed the views. I was shocked by how much I could see, no doubt helped by memory of feature positions. Understanding the cloudscapes of Jove truly assists when questioning the validity of an "I-think-so" feature. What you see here is what I think I saw.
The trailing "festoon" in the NEB exhibited repeated hints of a "comma-like" tail. Additionally, both of the assumed festoons took on a decidedly saltwater green hue. I'm not sure if this coloring was produced by the warming properties of my Nagler Zoom, or the combined effect of smaller scale and residual CA from the ED doublet.
The preceding side of the NTB showed three distinct undulations or "beads" that I have definitely noted in other recent observations. Again, possibly true waves in the belt, or possibly darker regions that optically tempt the brain to resolve a false rippling effect. Either way I keep seeing them. I'm darn certain that it's something.
There appeared to be a curious shading to the trailing half of the NPR. But I believe this may be the play of angular albedo, since the sun should be now starting to hit the Jovian disk slightly more from the preceding side with reference to the Earth's position.

Very good sketch of Jupiter .

Posted 07 December 2012 - 10:06 PM
So a small refractor is best for grab'n go?
You could have thought you saw a river or a grove of trees, but you thought you saw something that really might have been there. Sometimes we think we see things because Jupiter gives us a hint of it, a hint of a festoon that is actually there as opposed to a grove of trees that is not (or a rabbit seen in a cloud formation. ) Still, "trust but verify" and sketch what you see.
Gotta run, sorry for the hasty response.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 12:09 AM
Funny you had the scope at work. One of my best views of Saturn ever when the rings began to show for the first time after ting plane crossing. It was 3am hot still and humid and the planet just layer there. That spiderweb thin ring was a masterpiece. But I was at work on the clock. It was a part time weekend warehouse nightwatchman job. I was eagerly. Awaiting the return of the rings and said to **** with it I'm bringing my 8" reflector to work. It was pure ______s to set that up let me tell you. But the view the still view wow. Over fifteen years later it was well worth it. One of the BEST moments in observing Saturn. One for the books. 9/10 INDEED!!!
OK that's my experience has an illegitemately payed pro astronomer!!!
Posted 08 December 2012 - 11:29 AM
Glad you could grab this fine observation on your lunchtime (hope you got to eat a bite, too.
I don't think you are imagining those bumps on the north edge of the NTB--I've seen them in recent observations, too--although you perhaps exaggerated their size a little.
Great work.

Heck, Jason, even with a smaller rig you're still seeing more than I do through my 90mm.
Does having sketched the view in your larger rig help you when looking through the smaller unit?
Undoubtedly. I also believe the repetition of observations helps. Hey, like I said, knowing where certain major features are...whether from my larger scope, or from other people's sketches here, or from astrophotographic records...it all helps. I'm thinking it helps me because I know to look for those features. When using the 72mm I never assumed I would pick up smaller ovals, or subtleties in the SPR, so I really didn't try too hard to find them. I focused on large obvious features, like festoons, barges, GRS. I kept my fingers crossed that I might pick up an oval or two. Had the seeing been better I don't doubt that it might have been possible. It's kind of like playing the piano. Each new song is a breath of discovery. But with each new song comes a revisit to the same keyboard, and knowing where those keys are becomes progressively easier with each session...or something like that.

Another great looking Jupiter sketch, very nicely presented.
Thanks, Frank.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 08:41 AM
Hmmm... The AT72ED just happened to be in the back seat of the car. Good catch on the details and subtle colors.
Ed D
Yup, not sure how it got there...
And thanks.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 09:15 AM
When I first started observing Jupiter, I had no idea what to expect or what could be seen: GRS, belts, sure. Those white ovals, until recently, I had no idea how small they really are. It was actually a shocker to see just how tiny that one was, on the order of that black spot trailing BA. They look easy in images, but they are tough to see.
But, yes, the more you look, the more it becomes familiar. Someone once said, once you see a feature, it becomes easier next time. There may be some truth to that. But like anything else, nothing beats grinding it out at the eyepiece. Things just don't just fall into your eye, you do have to work at it.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
When considering how to cool a home, there are two main options: central air conditioners (which cool the whole house from a central location) and smaller window or through-the-wall air conditioners that cool down individual rooms. We cover both of those types of air conditioners in their own reports, but there's also a third alternative -- a portable air conditioner. These are similar in scope and cooling capacity than a window air conditioner, but their more modest venting requirements make them easier to install -- especially in rooms where installing a window unit is either undesirable or impossible.
The best portable air conditioners can be set up quickly by just one person and can be moved around to cool a different room as needed, although they're still heavy in spite of having wheels. A portable air conditioner doesn't commandeer a large section of the window (like a window air conditioner does), but a portable AC still needs access to outside air. Each portable unit comes with a window kit, which mounts one or two hoses to a small opening in your window. Some experts prefer the dual-hose style because it provides slightly better performance. TheSweetHome.com says that while that's true in theory, in practice the difference is actually very slight. In our research, we found that single-hose models often rate as well or better than many dual-hose portable air conditioners, and typically cost less.
All air conditioners, including portable air conditioners, pull excess moisture from the air. This is stored in a water tank that must be periodically emptied (machines will shut down when the tank is full) or drained continually through a hose running outside. Portable air conditioners with a self-evaporative system manage this moisture automatically, though in very humid climates the water tank may still need to be emptied occasionally. Some portable air conditioners have dehumidifying functions that pull excess moisture from the air without cooling it. If you are primarily interested in that, we cover dedicated dehumidifiers in their own report.
In doing the research for this report, we quickly found that expert reviews of portable air conditioners offer only half-hearted recommendations, and user reviews aren't much rosier -- though some models with 4-star or better ratings following enough user reviews to be meaningful were found. Here's the problem:
Like window air conditioners and central air conditioners, the cooling capacity of a portable air conditioner is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTUs. However, notes Liam McCabe at TheSweetHome.com, portable air conditioners aren't held to the same rating standards as window units or central air systems, so there's often a disconnect between their claimed BTU rating and the size of room a portable air conditioner can satisfactorily cool. McCabe notes that even different models with the same BTU rating will vary in their actual cooling capacity. Mary H.J. Farrell, in a free article at ConsumerReports.org, notes that most portables in its recent testing only produced 60 percent of the cooling capacity of window air conditioners with the identical BTU rating. She adds that units rated at 9,000 BTU or more performed "marginally better" than small units.
That's just as well, we think, given that the disparity between the BTU ratings of window and portable air conditioners renders traditional sizing guidelines somewhat mute. Instead, where a 6,000 BTU window air conditioner might be great for a small bedroom, testing shows that you may need to turn to a 10,000 BTU or better portable model to get the same degree of cooling.
These performance shortfalls aren't a result of poor manufacturing, but a byproduct of having a unit that's designed to vent hot air to the outside while sitting entirely in the room it is trying to cool instead of being half inside and half outside. "Yeah, the exhaust hose (which is not insulated) blows some of the heat out through the window," McCabe says. "But the whole process takes a lot more energy—and a lot more time—to get a room comfortable than a window unit."
Still, as most experts and users say, if a portable air conditioner is your only practical option, it's a lot better than having no air conditioner at all on a hot summer day.
To find the best choices among portable air conditioners, editors read through available, credible expert reviews from sources such as ConsumerReports.org and TheSweetHome.com. We then weighed feedback from users as posted at sites such as Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Walmart.com and others. We considered performance, how easy the portable air conditioner was to set up and use, and how well it held up over the long haul, including the warranty and customer service reputation of the manufacturer. The result is our picks as the best portable air conditioner overall, the best value portable air conditioner, and some worthy runners up to consider.

She next surfaced as Wendy Killian, an ingenuous research assistant, providing one of several foils to Dabney Coleman's titular detestable talk show host "Buffalo Bill" (NBC, 1983-84) in that short-lived but highly acclaimed sitcom.

Timberwolves rally late, beat Mitty in overtime
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Woodcreek boys to face St. Francis in NorCal final
On its way to the Bay Area Saturday afternoon, the Woodcreek High boys basketball team took a little detour past Arco Arena. "The guys looked out the window and said there was our second home," said Woodcreek coach Burnel Pinkerton. "We are 2-0 there and we wanted to get back one more time." It took the Timberwolves a while to get going, but they figured it out in the fourth period just in time. The result was a 91-83 overtime win over Archbishop Mitty that propels Woodcreek back to that second home, Arco Arena, and a berth in the Northern California Division II final. As if the commute to the South Bay was not enough, the Timberwolves' journey was made more difficult when the school van blew a tire with Pinkerton and seven of his players aboard. No one was injured in the incident, but it could be understood if they were shaken. "Someone was watching out for us," Pinkerton said. "Every one of those players had every right to be shaken up." Even that incident could not derail the Woodcreek express on this night. The Monarchs (21-9), the No. 1 seed in the NorCal bracket, were firing on all cylinders early, as they built a 21-15 lead after one period and increased that to an eight-point margin by intermission. The Woodcreek deficit was 10 points after three stanzas, but midway through the fourth all of that changed. "They came out and hit us in the mouth and we did not respond well," Pinkerton said. "About midway through the fourth quarter, we decided that we were not going to take it any more." Woodcreek outscored Mitty 22-12 in the fourth quarter to even the contest and force overtime. The domination continued in the extra session as the Timberwolves dropped 16 more points on the Monarchs to claim the victory. "It was one of the great comebacks of all time, to beat them on their court like that," Pinkerton said. As it always is with this team, this was a team victory. Pinkerton played 11 guys and that led to fresh legs coming down the stretch for his team. "It's not going to be in the stat sheet, but Devin Murphy was a guy who had a great night for us," Pinkerton said. "This was a total team effort. I know we say that every night, but we got a lot of contributions from a lot of people. That's who we are." Woodcreek went to a small lineup for a while, with three guards in Murphy alongside starters Ryan Sondhi and Ryan Milat and it was very effective. Center Mike Kurtz led a balanced Woodcreek scoring effort with 19 points, while Nik Milani scored 18. Sondhi scored five of his 17 in the overtime period, and Milat talled with 15 points for Woodcreek. The No. 4 seeded Timberwolves (28-5) will face No. 2 St. Francis of Mountain View (29-3) at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Northern California final at Arco Arena. St. Francis was a 53-39 winner over Oakmont in the other NorCal semifinal Saturday night. The winner of the NorCal final advances to the CIF State Championship game March 26 in Bakersfield.

A lot of people tend to use olive oil just for bread. However, virgin olive oil comes in a variety of amazing flavors that can compliment any meal.
Keith prepared for us a Winter Lintel Soup and a Chocolate Pound Cake infused in Great Blood Orange Olive Oil.
These rich flavors were absolutely delicious! Make sure you visit the website to find out more about the company and to try some of these amazing recipes!
