What is it?
A front end software that sits on top of Microsoft Windows, an interface between you and your car's infotainment. It allows you to play music, watch videos, assist in GPS navigation, listen to satellite radio, communicate with your bluetooth cellphone, respond to voice commands, display rear view camera, multiple media zones, etc. With it's strong emphasis on making it easy for programmers to make plugins, it can be used for controlling anything that's attached to your carpc through one common interface.
The Verdict:
Buy the software without GPS navigation and use a third party GPS navigation software. With the multitudes of plugins, integrating third party GPS software is easy and works well. Loading times are the longest I've experienced with any front end software but this won't be much of an issue if you use hibernation or suspend. If you don't have the time to make those other front end work correctly and just want something that works with support then I highly recommend you go this route. I like to thank mp3car and Centrafuse for this opportunity to make this review.
See this product on the mp3Car Store here.
What's in the box?
I didn't receive a box or anything physical for this review, just an email message from mp3car.com with a serial key and where to register/download. I downloaded the software from www.centrafuse.com and registered my carpc hardware ID to it. A quick start PDF manual can be found after installation. For more documentation see the FAQ on their forum.
Test machine:
Intel D945GCLF2 dual core 1.6Ghz Atom processor, 512MB ram, 80GB Seagate EE25 Automotive HD 5400rpm, GPS BU-353, Windows XP
Set up:
Installation starts by visiting www.centrafuse.com and creating an account (not to be confused with the forum user account). Select the link called "Looking for your 2.0 licenses?". It will give you a link to download the 3.0 software by clicking on the "Get Installer Files". This is also the same web screen you use to register your hardware ID -- more on this later.
Before you install Centrafuse on your carpc, I highly recommend reinstalling a full copy of Windows if you plan on using voice control. My previous install of TinyXP Windows edition didn't allow voice control to function. If voice control isn't important to you and you want to continue using TinyXP, then you must enable "Windows Management Instrumentation" service for the hardware ID to function properly.
Installation is straight forward. Click on Centrafuse_30_1106.exe. It first installs Microsoft's framework 2.0 and SP1, reboots Windows, and restarts the installation again. Next, it will ask if you want optional voice control and blue tooth to be installed before finally installing Centrafuse. The next step is to install the GPS navigation portion by clicking on Centrafuse_NA_30_part1.exe. Installation took a while, but it required no further reboots. Software installation total time was eight minutes. When you run Centrafuse for the first time, it will inform you of your hardware ID. Write this down and visit www.centrafuse.com again to obtain a license. Centrafuse will email you a license file that needs to be copied to "\Program Files\Centrafuse\Centrafuse Auto".
Centrafuse does so many things so I figured it would be best if I'd make a short 17 minute video exploring what it does.
The screen shots from centrafuse are much better than mine, so please check them out here.
The Positive:
- Extremely touch screen friendly with large buttons. You do not need a mouse in your car.
- Bluetooth cell phone interface
- GPS navigation lowers volume progressively before announcing next turn.
- Configuring the software is straight forward and very easy to do with it's nice GUI interface. No confusing .INI files to edit.
- Changing the current song to another is very easy to do without disrupting your current screen. For example, you're entering in an address in the navigation window and suddenly there's a song you don't want to listen to. No problem click on a music button and you can quickly switch to another song. Click on the button again and you're back to where you left off, undisturbed.
- Customizing the default skin can be modified easily if you want to rearrange some of the menus.
- Voice control works well, although I couldn't request a song by title (someone would need to write a plugin)
- No unexpected crashes, works well.
The Negative:
- GPS navigation has many disappointments. Maps are dated from 2007. North America maps are divided into 10 regions, making things cumbersome. For example, you cannot select a destination to Detroit, Michigan from Windsor, Ontario because they're in different regions. Selecting gas, food, or hotel points of interest doesn't work if your map is set to Canada (bug). GPS navigation didn't work after immediately configuring the GPS device. I had to restart Centrafuse for the new settings to take effect.
- My loading times are a bit slow; 25 seconds from a cold start, or 14 seconds on a reload. My other front end software loads in about half the time.
- Memory usage has been 153 to 160 MB, about triple to what the other front end use. This higher memory usage directly influences the longer hibernation and read/write times. It takes approximately two seconds longer for hibernate to resume.
- No gestures feature -- a minor inconvenience
- Surprised to see a slight pause between main menu screen changes, this either suggests I need either a more powerful graphics card or better CPU. This popular dual core Atom has never shown any weakness until now.
The Verdict:
Buy the software without GPS navigation and use a third party GPS navigation software. With the multitudes of plugins available, integrating third party GPS software is easy and works well. Loading times are the longest I've experienced with any front end software, but this won't be much of an issue if you use hibernation or suspend modes. If you don't have the time to make those other front end software applications work correctly and just want something that works and has support then I highly recommend you go with Centrafuse Auto. I'd like to thank mp3car and Centrafuse for the opportunity to make this review.

Basketball maths
Shooting hoops is excellent fun but in this game, it's the reward! Shoot only when they answer a maths sum correctly, then add points up to see who wins in this action-packed game for small or large numbers of kids.
Number of players:
What you need:
- waste paper basket
- masking tape
- recycled or waste paper
- a caller
Place the waste paper basket on the floor and take three paces away from it.
Mark a line with masking tape on the floor. This is where the kids will shoot hoops from.
Line children up behind the line and have a pile of paper balls handy.
Call out a maths sum to player one. If the child answers correctly, they get a chance to throw a paper ball at the basket.
For every paper ball that goes in the basket, one point is earned. Incorrect guesses go to the back of the line.
Give each child the same amount of turns and add up the points to see who the winner is.
- This game can be played with a small amount of players individually or in a class environment.
- Equations can be altered to suit the age level of the participants.
Only paper balls that make it in the basket earn a point, not just a correct answer.

The Obama administration is attempting to go the extra mile to guarantee that Americans who want health insurance by Jan. 1 are able to get it.
Insurers participating in the Obamacare exchanges are now required to accept premium payments through Dec. 31 for health coverage that will start on New Year's Day, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday. This gives consumers an extra week to pay for their new coverage after the Dec. 23 enrollment deadline.
"We are providing additional flexibility to consumers across the country to ensure they have access to coverage options that begin on Jan. 1, 2014," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says in a statement.
Comparison made to Massachusetts
The many deadline extensions that have followed the troubled Oct. 1 rollout of the exchanges are similar to what happened in Massachusetts, when that state launched its pioneering health insurance reform in 2006, says Deborah Chollet, a health insurance research leader at Mathematica Policy Research in Washington, D.C.
"In Massachusetts, I recall, the deadline for signing up was extended three months," says Chollet, adding that many of the state's consumers had procrastinated about obtaining health insurance. "It's a complex product, it requires some thinking about. The more complex it is, the more people are inclined to put it off. We have a situation that is not surprising."
Industry head-shaking
While helping consumers secure health insurance is a top priority, "continued changes to the rules and guidance could exacerbate the challenges associated with helping consumers through the enrollment process," Karen Ignagni, president of the trade association America's Health Insurance Plans, says in a statement.
This new flexibility may add to the insurance industry's list of headaches, but it is not an indication that the Affordable Care Act will crumble, Chollet says.
"Realistically, everyone thought this was going to take a few years to iron out … There's plenty in the law to keep it afloat while the wrinkles work out, no matter how deep these wrinkles are."

Jordan looking for bounce-back effort
WASHINGTON -- It's been a rough April for Taylor Jordan. But Sunday's start against San Diego offers an opportunity for the young pitcher to produce in a critical situation.
Jordan is 0-3 with a 6.23 ERA in his four starts this season, primarily due to putting himself into a hole early. The first inning has been a nightmare for Jordan, as he has an ERA of 18.00 in the opening frame. He has allowed the opposition to hit .462 against him in the first.
With Doug Fister on the same schedule as Jordan during his rehab starts -- Fister will pitch on Sunday for Class A Potomac -- Jordan is likely the odd man out when Fister returns. With the Nationals looking at three off-days over the next 11 days, a poor start on Sunday could give Washington the opportunity to skip one of Jordan's next outings. But Nationals manager Matt Williams was noncommittal about that option.
"The way it's set, right now, barring some kind of change -- and I can't tell you what would change, if anything -- but everybody will go and then get an extra day," Williams said. "That's the plan."

Pea Soup Fog Makes San Joaquin Valley Notorious
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Safety experts are bracing for the two foggiest months of the year in California's San Joaquin Valley and hoping an intricate warning system continues to keep drivers safe.
Areas along Highway 99 south of Fresno are notorious for dense tule fog, a thick patchwork that materializes after rain an average of 35 days a year.
The sudden transition from sun to fog often catches drivers by surprise.
In 2007 a 108-vehicle pileup killed two people and closed 99 for half the day. Officials began planning then for a fog warning system along the highway's most dangerous 12 mile stretch south of Fresno.
Since 2010 Caltrans has operated six weather stations, 12 cameras, 39 electronic message signs and 41 microwave sensors that automatically warn drivers when conditions become dangerous.

MALTA -- After two consecutive championship seasons, the Saratoga Stampede men's rugby team had a rude awakening in 2011.
The squad, which practices and plays its home matches at Shenantaha Creek Park, went just 1-8 against the stiff competition in Div. II and was eventually relegated back to Div. III.
New coaches and increased commitment this fall has the Stampede on its way back to the next level of the New England Rugby Football Union.
"It's been a really positive attitude coming off of last fall," said Saratoga Rugby president Aaron Noble. "As a pretty new club, we didn't know what to expect and kind of got it handed to us. Rather than being demoralized, people doubled down and redoubled their efforts."
The hard work has led to an 8-0 record and a chance to clinch a berth in the 2012-13 USA Rugby National Championship. Lose and through a series of tiebreakers, the Stampede still could appear in a playoff match for the berth.
One of the biggest changes to the club this season has been the ability to hire two full-time coaches. Jaco Visser, a native of South Africa, moved to the Capital Region several years ago and has experience coaching at area colleges and clubs.
"Springfield has historically been a skilled and talented team, particularly in the forwards," Visser said. "It will be imperative for us to execute our game plan and maintain our strong fundamentals of play. If we do this, I'm confident in our chances for Saturday."
Assistant coach Brian White is a Saratoga Springs native who most recently played on Boston's semi-pro team.
"We've been fortunate to find a lot of sponsors in the Saratoga business community that have generously donated money towards the cause," Noble said of finding money to pay two quality coaches. "Part of it is increasing our recruiting effort. That led to increased athlete dues and more money."
The changes have paid off in the win column. The Stampede has scored 335 total points this season while allowing just 60.
As the image of the sport changes, Noble hopes the number of players at all levels continues to rise.
"The popularity at the college level and high school level is expanding dramatically," Noble said. "Capital District Youth Rugby is up to eight boys teams and five girls teams, where as a couple years ago there were zero."
There's also a New York State Championship for high school level rugby teams. The Stampede's youth team draws from all Saratoga County high schools but predominately from Saratoga Springs, Ballston Spa and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. Players who learned the game when the youth team debuted in 2007 are now beginning to earn playing time on the adult squad.
In addition to its success on the field, the club has tried to improve the image of the sport based on its competitive prowess.
"The biggest thing is trying to rehabilitate the image of rugby," Noble said. "When you talk about rugby, everyone envisions the hooligan sport, drinking (and) reckless behavior. There's been a concerted effort amongst most senior clubs to say it's a physical sport but it's not a thuggish sport. You can let your skill and your talents win out. You don't need to stoop to levels that promote those brutish behaviors."
The Stampede has also reached out to assist local charities. Habitat for Humanity of Saratoga County, Hannah's Hope and the Special Olympics are three organizations that have benefited from the club's volunteer efforts and fundraising.
The club encourages anyone interested in learning about rugby to show up at a practice.
"If people are interested in learning the game, the team is open and willing to teach," Noble said. "It's a great sport to watch. It's a great sport to play. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and leadership that people wouldn't think of if they've only heard about the bad parts of rugby."

In a move to increase its presence in the berry categories, Dole Food Co. Inc. has acquired SunnyRidge Farm Inc., Winter Haven, Fla.
Keith Mixon, president and chief executive officer of the family-owned SunnyRidge Farm, said Oct. 11 that all of his company's employees would be retained, including the 100 or so in the offices in the Southeast U.S. Mixon will retain the title of president of SunnyRidge Farm, but will now report to Ray De Riggi, president of Dole Fresh Vegetables.
"Our common vision is to create a worldwide, all-berry company," Mixon said. "We are very, very excited. The negotiations have been going on for a while.
"The goal is to continue with the same group of people we have put together, and that Dole already has, to create a new, complete, full line of berries under the Dole banner."
SunnyRidge Farm has growers and company-owned acreage throughout Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Mexico. The company also works with growers in various other regions in North and South America to provide blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries year-round.
The SunnyRidge packers and shippers with facilities in the Southeast U.S., as well as Arkansas, Michigan, British Columbia, and Central and South America will continue to work with SunnyRidge to help Dole become a leader in the berry categories.
In a news release, Dole officials said the acquisition would provide a "strategic complement to our existing fresh and frozen berry operations, both of which have previously focused on strawberries." According to the release from Dole, blueberries and blackberries are some of the fastest growing commodities in the produce category.
Mixon said he expects the new full line of berries to put Dole in the No. 2 or No. 3 spot in every traditional berry category. The SunnyRidge brand will be retained, Mixon said.
"We will also be able to offer our berries to Dole's frozen and value-added lines of products," Mixon said.

(CBS News) BELMAR, N.J. - The big story in the Northeast wasn't politics, but the nor'easter that just blew in. The same places that were swamped by Sandy are getting lashed Wednesday night by high winds, rain, snow and an angry sea that threatens to flood the shoreline all over again.
More evacuations have been ordered, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may have had the best line when he said he was waiting for the locusts and pestilence next. Over 600,000 homes and businesses in six states are still without power nine days after Sandy. That number may grow with this new storm.
On Wednesday in Belmar, New Jersey, city crews rushed to rebuild the sand dunes wiped out by Hurricane Sandy.
Nor'easter bears down on Sandy-battered NYC, N.J.
Sandy victims' concerns: Voting, housing, power
Some evacs ordered ahead of predicted nor'easter
Complete Coverage: Superstorm Sandy
"You know, if we did this for Sandy, it would have been laughed at by the waves," Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty said about the new wall. He said he hopes these new barriers will be enough to keep the nor'easter from flooding his town again.
For the past week, Belmar has been pumping out 60,000 gallons of water per minute. The pumps will stay on during this second storm.
"We wanted to be aggressive about protecting our community from anything that this storm brings to us," said Doherty.
Further south, in Brick Township, Mayor Stephen Acropolis has ordered the evacuation of nearly 10,000 people. "I would think that after what people just went through," he said, "I would think that most people will not stay."
The Di Lorenzos stayed through Sandy, but they're leaving this time. Their home is barely livable.
"I don't know if we can mentally handle another storm," said one of them. "It was terrifying staying here. We were the only people on this whole block."
For two days, front loaders have been hauling away Sandy's wreckage so this storm doesn't blow it back through town.
More than 2.4 million people in New Jersey have had their power restored since Sandy, but 60 mph winds could put many of them back in the dark.
Steve Sanzo hasn't had power for 10 days, but said he still plans to stay, adding: "I'd say there's been many, many, many nor'easters we've had. We can't run from this one. I won't be going. I'll be staying."
As if the wind and the rain weren't bad enough, now the folks along the Jersey shore are dealing with this: Late Wednesday afternoon, the temperatures dropped 32 degrees and the snow is coming down pretty good. This is adding insult to injury for the folks who have no electricity and no heat.

I usually use a bench when meditating, but recently I have been thinking about moving towards the use of a cushion so that I can practice a half or full lotus position. Two questions:
1. Is it important what posture you use? Am I wasting time trying a new posture when the bench works fine?
2. Are there any helpful exercises, stretches, guides, etc. to facilitate better balance and posture when doing a half or full lotus?

Crane buys players iPads for video purposes
HOUSTON -- When the Astros arrived home from Spring Training last week, they found brand new iPads at their lockers, courtesy of owner Jim Crane. The team had downloaded opposing pitcher and hitter videos to give the players another tool to stay sharp.
Crane said Tuesday the iPads were the brainchild of general manager Jeff Luhnow.
"Jeff had a recommendation that he wanted to download a lot of the stuff they look at -- the video they look at of their at-bats and pitching so they can study the pitching for the next night -- and wanted to give them an iPad when they got back, so we loaded them all up and had them in their lockers when they got back from Spring Training," Crane said. "I think it will be great when they're on the road, they can always work."
Most of the players already have iPads, but Crane wanted to reward them for a long Spring Training.
"It's just a little token of [appreciation for] all the hard work they went through in Spring Training," he said.

30 April 2012
Andy Dirks has jumped out to a pretty good start with the bat this season. He's collected nine hits in 32 at-bats for a rather good .281 batting average. His contact ability and low strikeout rate (just 9.1% this year) appear to make him a prime candidate to hit at the top of the lineup (perhaps number two behind Austin Jackson), but Dirks' inability to draw a walk would be a hindrance to the club in that position.
Dirks has drawn a walk in only 4.1% of his plate appearances in his major league career (none yet this season). That rate is about half that of what a league average hitter would draw. If he continues his career with that type of a walk rate, then he would need to be a .290-.300 hitter in order to maintain an on-base percentage in the .330-.340 range that's considered to be league average.
But in order to maintain that type of batting average, even with his fairly low 14.6% career strikeout rate, Dirks would have to maintain a BABIP in the .335-.340 range. That's not impossibly high, but only 47 players have maintained a career BABIP at or above .335 since 1990. That's only 4.6% of all batters that have played in that timeframe.Alex Avila walks at an above average rate. He seems to be struggling at the plate a bit this year with only a .220 batting average, but his on-base percentage is .303. That's not a particularly good OBP, but it's not awful considering how bad his batting average is. I've already mentioned Dirks' .281 average, which is well above the league average rate (typically around .250 or .255), but his OBP is the same sub-par .303. That's worse than the OBP Austin Jackson put up while racking up all those strikeouts a season ago (his was .317)*.
*Some folks I talk to think on-base percentage is only good for Brad Pitt movies about the Oakland A's, but it's a far better metric than batting average for a top of the order hitter. Because what OBP tells us is quite simply this: how often a player doesn't make an out when he comes to the plate. And that's what we want to know. How often is he on base, and not on the bench, when the big boppers come up to bat.
Dirks' batting profile isn't necessarily similar to that of Delmon Young (Dirks strikes out a bit less), but they share a similarly low walk rate (and good contact skills). Young steps up to the plate with intent to swing, and while his career .287 batting average suggests that he's a pretty good hitter, his .321 OBP tells us that he's below average when it comes to avoiding outs.
It's obviously too early in the season (and too early in his career) to pass final judgment on Dirks as a low-OBP player, but he's going to have limited value as a hitter if he can't find the patience to draw more than the occasional walk.

'It really looks like if this team wants to get better it will have to do it by trade. If the Blackhawks are still over the cap I would be ready for who ever became available. The Flyers likely need to move somebody and Regier must be ready. At the draft Regier said all his discussions were for players to come in, he wasn't talking about anybody leaving and that takes us back to being married to his own players. I believe that after three years of big game failures they still think these guys can win. Yes they did move forward with a division championship, but they have shown over and over again that they can't be counted on to come up big when it matters most. Until this team sees this, it'll be business as usual!'

Peralta contributes with glove amid offensive woes
ST. LOUIS -- Still seeking his timing on offense, Jhonny Peralta said he hopes he can at least find opportunities to contribute on defense, as the shortstop did in Friday's 1-0 win.
After watching Peralta stop a sharp liner to start a third-inning double play and later hustle to third to complete an eighth-inning rundown, manager Mike Matheny noted that he had not seen a better defensive game from Peralta this year. The 32-year-old infielder agreed, describing himself as "lighter" on his feet after an early afternoon defensive session with third-base coach Jose Oquendo.
Now, the task is to get his swing right. Peralta did tally a pair of hits Friday, giving him at least some positive momentum. In doing so, he snapped an 0-for-22 skid and raised his average to .169. Peralta has pulled that average north of .200 for only one day this season.
"I think he's just fighting to contribute one way or another, and I don't think he's felt that he's been on top of his game, obviously on the offensive side, but I think he hasn't felt that way defensively either," Matheny said. "I don't think one is causing the other, but I think both are just magnifying, in his mind, because as a very good player you just sit there and say, 'These guys haven't even seen what I can do.' More importantly, the guys in [the clubhouse], but also fans that are following every day."
Peralta entered this season a career .266/.329/.425 hitter in 12 Major League seasons.

Reading this on a toilet? You aren't alonePosted: Updated:
Forget the whole "Honk if you (fill in the blank)" craze, if you are reading this while using the toilet - give me a flush!
A study released this week on the state of social media shows nearly one-third of young people on social media Tweet, Facebook, or whatever while they "go."
Thirty-two-percent of people in the United States aged 18 to 24 say they use social networking in the bathroom, according to a joint report from marketing research firms Nielsen and NM Incite.
But don't try to just blame this on young people.
More than one-fourth (28%) of those ages 25-34 are bathroom social networkers, as are 15% of those ages 35-44.
Both sexes are equally likely to use social networks in the bathroom, with 14% of them saying they do.
"Social media is truly everywhere in people's lives," says Deirdre Bannon, vice president of social-media solutions at NM Incite, a joint venture of Nielsen and consulting firm McKinsey & Co.
"It is so ingrained and has touched every facet of everything we do all day long. We are literally taking our phones with us to the bathroom and connecting on social media."
Time spent on social networks increased 37% over 12 months ago, according to the new report.
The report also found that 51-percent of US adults between 25 and 34 use social networking in the office. That is more than any other age group.
"People are connected at work because they are always on," Bannon says. "But part of it is they are tapping into that exponentially broader universe to get information about products, event sand brands. It has both the social component, as well as the informational aspect."
While personal computers remain the primary tools for logging onto sites like Facebook and Twitter, the report noted a significant increase in the use of cell phones and tablets as well.

The SkyProdigy 90 Computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope from Celestron is a truly revolutionary instrument which makes it easy to enjoy hours upon hours of stargazing entertainment thanks to its automatic alignment capabilities.
The SkyProdigy 90 Computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope employs electronic motors, an on-board computer and digital camera, and Celestron's StarSense technology for automatic, instant alignment without any input required from the user. In fact, zero knowledge of the night sky is required to align the SkyProdigy 90 computerized telescope. All you have to do is turn on the SkyProdigy 90 Maksutov-Cassegrain, push a single button, and enjoy the views. Wow! Now anyone can be an instant astronomer.
After giving the automatic alignment process just a few minutes, the Celestron SkyProdigy 90 Computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope will be ready to show you views of some 4000 celestial wonders. The automated alignment process begins with the on-board camera automatically capturing an image of the night sky, which is quickly processed by the telescope computer to identify star patterns. Once a positive pattern match is found, the SkyProdigy computer determines the coordinates of the stars in the image. This process is quickly and automatically repeated two more times for triangulation and then you're ready to view any of the 4000 objects in the telescope's database. There's even a cool Sky Tour option to use if you don't know exactly what you want to observe.
The Celestron SkyProdigy 90 will take you on a high-power tour of the cosmos. The fully computerized and auto-aligning SkyProdigy single-arm altazimuth mount supports a 90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope which has a nice, long 1250mm focal length (f/13.9) which is ideal for obtaining high-magnification views of the night sky. The telescope is coupled to the mount via a quick-release system for easy attachment. The tripod and accessory tray can be conveniently assembled in the field without the need for tools. Two fully coated 1.25" eyepieces are included (25mm and 9mm) for two magnification options (50x and 139x respectively) right out of the box. Surprisingly lightweight at just 16 lbs., the Celestron SkyProdigy 90 can be transported easily to a dark sky site for the best views of the 4000 objects in its computerized database.
The fully computerized Celestron SkyProdigy hand controller is Flash upgradeable, and allows you to select from nine slew speeds (3°/sec, 2°/sec, 1°/sec, 0.5°/sec, 32x, 16x, 8x, 4x and 2x). The auto-aligning altazimuth mount also boasts sidereal, solar, and lunar tracking rates for extended views of virtually any object. A battery pack is included which provides over 30 hours of operation.
This product is serviced and supported by its manufacturer according to the terms and conditions included in the packaged product. Orion's limited warranty does not apply. Please contact the manufacturer directly for technical support.
Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.
Level 1 Beginner - Suited for a wide range of uses, these telescopes are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required. Very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment but just want to take a look. Any of these scopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulas! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 2 Intermediate - These scopes offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 3 Advanced - These scopes provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. They have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but are but on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These scopes will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
Level 4 Expert - Expert telescopes offer uncompromising optical and mechanical quality for the most demanding amateur astronomer. They may be technically involved or designed for specialized use, such as astrophotography or detailed deep sky observation. They carry a premium price, but are designed to provide the ultimate performance in the field. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.

I don't blame Bynum. Cleveland is a circus, and he was another performer
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
From everything I've heard, he was just as disruptive in Los Angeles. So while blaming it on the shitshow that is Cleveland may not be accurate. Of course, Mike Brown was also in Los Angeles so there are two common denominators. I'm sure both have some blame.
For the record, I don't anticipate any issues here. He knows he's got one more chance to prove to people he's worth another contract. He's not going to jeopardize that. And David West wouldn't allow him to even if he were that stupid.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
In the video on Pacers.com (link in other Bynum thread), Brian Shaw says Bynum is a good guy. He recommended him to the Pacers and said it was a great pickup. Shaw coached him in LA.
I do remember Bynum jacking 3's when he played for the Lakers.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Seems like a double standard to me. If Bynum had signed with the Heat instead I think most people would read this article and say that they were glad he didn't come to Indiana
I was not, and still am not happy with this signing. I am convinced we could've won a championship without him, I don't think our chances improve with him, I don't think Miami beats us with or without him - and now the only consequence of our signing him is this idiot gets a real shot at a third championship ring
To your point though I think most people would want a reason to say "Well I am glad he isn't on my team" response becuase thats what we do as fans. Regardless though I think it all depends on how Bynum plays on the court and there is history to say that he can be a valueable piece to a championship team.
Brandon Marshall did something similar. Look at him now.
That's obviously a sign of a self-absorbed child in a 300lb frame. I don't care how bad that franchise is, there is no excuse. In any event, I'm happy he's on the Pacers instead of the Heat. We have two options. We can cut him if he acts up or his knees are really toast...or he grows a brain while in Indy and he contributes to a dynasty. Neither are bad options.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Sounds pretty immature to me, but it could've been worse I suppose.
Well you can't just say **** like that and expect us not to ask what it is that you heard. So...what did you hear about Bynum in LA?
How we respond to adversity says as much as how we respond to prosperity. Doesn't professionalism demand a better response?
I have to agree with you.
If I were to ignore that I'm a Pacer fan....I can see how that whole situation is funny.
But given that we just signed this guy and there is an expectation that he will be a key member of the rotation....I look at what happened and think that it's not professional at all to act the way he did. I know that there is rumblings that the Cavs are really messed up.....but recognizing that there is a problem and only adding to it? Not good IMHO.
Luckily, he signed with one of the two Teams that could likely turn him around....so I really hope that everyone from the FO to the Players to the Coaching Staff is able to reign him in. But I won't lie and say that this revelation doesn't give me warm feelings about Bynum "the Player and person".
But again....all of this will be forgotten once he starts playing and we can see what he's capable of doing....it will all be "water under the bridge".
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
A more mature Player wouldn't have joined the circus.....a more mature and professional Player would have risen about it, simply go in and do his job. Does the Cavs Organization suck right now and an utter mess? Yep....but that doesn't mean that Players should add to the mess.
I just mark this as a "negative" in the character column for me and hope that the Pacers Organization ( as a whole ) will do a much better job of guiding him in the right direction.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Shaw said "He's a good guy, he's not a bad guy". You don't think that was about his attitude? Odd. We all know why Shaw felt the need to say it.
I thought Shaw was very forthright in the interview and came off well. He seemed very sincere to me.
I still think its hilarious. Yes its immature, stupid, and 100 other bad thing, but I just find it hilarious. Kyrie passes him the ball, and Bynum be all like "SHOOT THE J!"

It's like something out of a Saturday night live skit.
If I was his couch I wouldn't think it's funny, but since I'm just a fan I think it's pretty damn hilarious.
I already knew Bynum was a 280 pound child so this really doesn't surprise me at all.
We are talking about a guy who re-injured his surgically repaired knee because he really wanted to go bowling.

Brewers stick to plan by sitting Aramis vs. Wainwright
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke chose the long view over the short when he stuck with the plan to rest third baseman Aramis Ramirez on Saturday.
Ramirez was 2-for-3 and played six innings in the field Friday, his first day back from a month-long stint on the disabled list with a sprained left knee. That knee is still not 100 percent, so Roenicke's plan -- set in conjunction with the team's medical staff -- was to rest Ramirez on Saturday, play him Sunday, rest him again Monday without missing a game (because the Brewers are off) and then play him back-to-back games Tuesday and Wednesday against the Rangers before another team off-day on Thursday.
So the Brewers' schedule dictated that Ramirez missed a good matchup. He is a robust 19-for-47 against Adam Wainwright, Saturday's Cardinals starter. None of the other Brewers who started Saturday entered the game owning a lifetime average better than .200 against Wainwright.
"We wanted to stay with the game plan," Roenicke said. "It's a long season and we need 'Ramie' for the whole year. So this is the best way to go."
Friday's return was a success, aside from the fact the Brewers lost to the Cardinals, 6-1. Ramirez said late Friday that, "I'm glad, personally, for the way my knee held up tonight. Hopefully it keeps getting better from now on."
Was he sore the day after?
"A little bit," Roenicke said, "but I think there's some soreness everywhere, just from not playing. He feels pretty good. I think for probably a week, I would expect him to be this way. Usually the first week of Spring Training, guys are sore. So I kind of expected that."

I suspect the sequence of #22 and #23 is misplaced, and that #23 should be the scene from Tavatimsa where the Buddha teaches the Abhidhamma to the assembled devas. The stone slab the Buddha is seated on is probably the Pandukambalasilāsana, Sakka's throne (but a bit off-colour if the Commentarial account of it being yellow is correct).
The tree above the throne would be the Pāricchattaka and the stupa in the background might be the Culamani Chedi, repository of the Bodhisatta's locks from the Great Renunciation.

INDIANAPOLIS—A footrace between West Virginia's Tavon Austin and Texas' Marquise Goodwin would be interesting. It would also be quick.
Austin and Goodwin ran the fastest unofficial times Sunday at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, running 4.25 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
— See how they run: Austin video | Goodwin video | More video from the Combine
For Austin, it helps solidify his position as a top wide receiver and threat to go late in the first round.
For Goodwin, it will force teams to look more closely at him. Scouts already knew he was a sprinter on the Longhorns' track team. They must figure out if Goodwin, who caught 26 passes at Texas last season, will be more productive in the NFL than he was in college.
"The times I was given opportunity and the ball was in my hands, I did something with it," Goodwin said. "I have good hands. I run routes. I get out of my breaks. I'm tough. I have blocked."
And certainly, Goodwin can run.

Skin Cancer
I have had a squamos cell on my hand. I have a basil cell on my temple to be removed. I biopsy on the bridge of my nose is pre cancer. Getting more places on my nose. What kind of specialist do I need? I am going to a dermatologist. Do I need a cancer center or a professional to take care of this? Is there a method that can detect places or do I just wait until they show up?
You need to continue to see your dermatologist. You can discuss different therapies (creams or light treatments) that you may be able to use to help decrease the number of pre-cancers you are getting. If you get a basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma on your face you may need a Mohs Micrographic Surgeon accredited by the American College of Mohs Surgeons.

Surprised it took this long
Ravens cut Billy Cundiff
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 26, 2012, 12:55 PM EDT
The kicker whose missed field goal at the end of the AFC Championship Game ended the Ravens 2011 season will not return to the Ravens for the 2012 season.
Billy Cundiff has been released by the Ravens, ESPNs Adam Schefter reports.
Although Cundiff was a Pro Bowler in 2010 and, signed a five-year contract in 2011 and has been a very good kicker for much of his time in Baltimore, this move doesnt come as a surprise. Undrafted rookie kicker Justin Tucker has looked good in training camp and the preseason, and cutting Cundiff saves the Ravens about $1.2 million in cap space.
Some teams may show interest in the 32-year-old Cundiff as a free agent, but that AFC Championship Game-ending miss will be fresh in many teams minds, and so will the fact that Cundiff has made only one of his last ten field goal attempts from 50 yards and beyond. Cundiff has fallen a long way since playing in the Pro Bowl a year and a half ago.

Alcantara working through growing pains
CHICAGO -- Javier Baez isn't the only Cubs rookie still adjusting to the big leagues. Arismendy Alcantara is going through some growing pains, too.
Alcantara went 9-for-23 in his first five games but entered Monday's series opener against the Brewers with seven hits in his last 39 at-bats.
"He's learning how big league pitchers are adjusting to him," manager Rick Renteria said. "I think they're attacking him in different ways. He's got the skill set to adjust.
"I'm not going to panic for him. He steps into the box feeling he's going to have good at-bats, which is what we want him to have. If his at-bats are solid, he'll have more positive results than not. He's learning. He doesn't seem to be overwhelmed. It's not like he's down.
"He goes in there every single time and tries to work a good at-bat and get on base or drive in a run and do what he can to help the club."
Alcantara already has a four-hit game under his belt, having gone 4-for-5 against the Reds on July 10 in his second big league game.

Happy toddler zone
Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
Save yourself the heartache of worrying over your toddler's eating habits by developing an understanding of your toddler's nutritional needs:
Your child is born instinctively knowing how much food she needs and she won't usually overeat. However she can easily lose this skill. If she's always pushed to eat more than she wants or is encouraged to finish everything on the plate, she may learn to ignore her body's messages when she's had enough to eat. This can lead to weight problems later.
Learning to feed herself will be a messy business for your toddler. Let her have fun with her food because the more practice she gets doing it for herself, the faster she'll master the skills.

The format for industry-led meetings focused on cantaloupe safety has changed from four in-person meetings to a series of weekly Web seminars.
The first Web seminar is scheduled for 10 a.m. April 2 PDT.
The focus of the Web seminars will be technical and scientific, but all who want to participate are welcome, said Glenn Boyet, senior director of public relations for Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association.
"We don't want it appear to be closed, but these are scientific meetings and that's what we are trying to emphasize," Boyet said.
PMA, Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association, Irvine, Calif.-based Western Growers and the Nogales, Ariz.-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas helped organize and plan the meetings
Boyet said the exact number of Web seminar meetings will be discussed at the April 2 event.
"It will definitely be more than four meetings," he said.
Earlier this year, organizers had laid out a series of four in-person regional meetings in Phoenix, Irvine, Calif., Denver and the Southeast U.S. from March 29 through June 21 to develop guidelines to improve the safety of cantaloupe. Seattle-based food safety lawyer Bill Marler criticized the exclusion of the public and victims of the listeria outbreak linked to Colorado cantaloupe from those meetings.
Boyet said the new format will allow greater participation across the supply chain.
"The (Web seminars) allow us to do more than having just the four in-person meeting," Boyet said march 19.
Completion of a draft of cantaloupe food safety rules is expected by be available by Aug. 1 of this year.

Burnett to throw bullpen session; Madson progressing
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sean Burnett, limited after experiencing lower back stiffness on Feb. 18, is expected to throw a bullpen session this weekend.
By next week, he should appear in his first Cactus League game.
"As a reliever, he might need to repeat [the bullpen session] just to make sure he comes out of it, but he's a short-term guy," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He doesn't need to get stretched out like a starter would. He just needs to get functional, get some stamina, get some stiffness out, rebound, work on his pitches. Relievers are going to be able to get ready for a season in eight or 10 innings, and he'll get that easy."
Ryan Madson, slowly working his way back from Tommy John surgery, has stretched out his throwing program to about 90 feet and could reach his limit, 120 feet, by early next week. The next step after that would be to start getting off a mound.

The range of exhibitors reflects the purchasing power and the range of interests of farmers today. As always, the majority of vendors there are selling agricultural equipment and supplies, from pole barns and grain dryers to pesticides and seed. But the farm show's vendors also provide extras that range from evangelism and legal help to investment advice and fine chocolates.
And, like the rest of the business world, farmers will find an array of electronics to improve their operations, from the efficiency of planting to the ease of bookkeeping.
"That has really come on strong," Cline said of electronic enhancements for agriculture, "to the point where it's just expected."
Cline works with Purdue University and the Allen County Soil and Water Conservation District to organize a packed schedule of experts who present programs throughout the farm show. A headliner this year comes at midday Jan. 16, when Chris Hurt, a professor in agricultural economics at Purdue, who will discuss the effects of recent federal policies on agriculture, at 11:30 a.m., and provide his take on the prospect for grain and livestock markets this year, at 1 p.m.
Other presentations will look at farm safety, new fertilizer rules, agri-tourism, crop insurance and pesticide management, among other topics.
"You can go to a county fair and look at new machines," Cline said. "Our show has become more of a continuing education seminar for the professional farmer."

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
It was a quiet open to the week for Class III futures, as volume was light early in the day. And when the spot market opened and closed unchanged, you'd expect that futures would have traded in a relatively tight range. However, that wasn't the case at all as futures caught a bid and moved sharply higher ahead of the afternoon milk production report. Volume was light at just over 850 contracts and, interestingly, open interest was down slightly, but the late summer and fourth-quarter months have rallied back near their previous highs.
While the USDA "Milk Production" report was certainly bullish in comparison to expectations, we have to believe much of that has already been priced in to futures prices. Overnight, the market responded by trading 7 to 21 higher on solid volumes in the Q4 months, while Q3 months were mostly quiet.
Cheese futures were surprisingly inactive yesterday with the large gains seen in Class III futures. August futures traded 32 times, and the only other trading seen was a 2 lot in September. Prices, however, did rise in line with gains seen in Class III, closing steady to 0.049 higher on the day.
Scattered showers over the weekend were not enough to fend off the grain market bulls Monday. Solid coverage was seen in the western and northern parts of the Corn Belt, but southern and eastern areas which also badly needed rain didn't get the coverage expected. When combined with warm, dry short-term forecasts, the market recovered sharply from Friday's losses. Chinese dry weather also has the market fearful that their new crop corn demand will be stronger than currently expected and, in combination with a lower U.S. yield, this could drive prices higher.
Crop condition ratings after the close showed corn at 63% good to excellent ― down 3 percent on the week and soybeans at 56 percent G/E. Both of those estimates trail last year sharply, which makes it very tough for us to take these ratings seriously in light of the current yield estimates from the USDA. Weather and fund buying power leaves us believing end-users should have a portion, if not a significant portion, of new crop hedges in place.
We look for corn to open 8 to 11 cents higher and for beans to open 28 to 31 higher.

Residents and businesses in Wiltshire affected by the recent floods could be eligible for financial aid through four Government-funded schemes.
The schemes are designed to give individuals and organisations support following disruption caused by the floods, and funding to help to protect their properties against flooding in the future.
Jonathon Seed, the Wiltshire Council cabinet member responsible for flooding, said: "We want to let as many people as possible know about these grants which could be vital at this difficult time."
Council tax relief could be available to families who have had to leave their homes, or if significant parts of their homes are uninhabitable, and business rate relief could be available to businesses where the property has flooded.

This Greek Frittata with Zucchini, Tomatoes, Feta and Herbs is a recipe I first came up with in 2006 and I'm thrilled to finally have some photos that show how really delicious this frittata is! The recipe uses a generous amount of zucchini, canned tomatoes, and Mozzarella and Feta cheese, and when I made it with Jake for these updated photos we added some fresh chopped Greek oregano and fresh basil. No worries if you don't have fresh herbs, this will still be delicious with dried oregano and basil. I'd happily eat this tasty Greek Frittata for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and this recipe a perfect option for Meatless Monday.
Greek Frittata with Zucchini, Tomato, Feta, and Herbs
(Makes 4 large or 6 smaller servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, very well drained
1 medium zucchini, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
1 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional, if you don't have Spike use any general-purpose seasoning mix that's good with eggs)
coarse ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (or more)
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese (or more)
2 T chopped fresh Greek Oregano (optional)
2 T chopped fresh basil (optional)
sour cream for serving (optional)
While vegetable mixture cooks, break eggs into bowl and beat well. Pour eggs into pan with the zucchini and spices and cook 2-3 minutes, or until eggs are barely starting to set.
Add half of Mozzarella cheese and Feta (and most of the chopped fresh herbs if you're using them) and stir gently; then cook about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle remaining Mozzarella and feta cheese over top and cook a few minutes with a lid on the pan. (The cheese should be mostly melted and the eggs fairly set when you put it under the broiler.)
Sprinkle the cooked frittata with the rest of the chopped fresh herbs (if using) and let it sit for a couple of minutes; then cut into pie shaped wedges to serve. This is good with a dollop of sour cream.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This recipe is suitable for low-carb, Keto, and low-glycemic diet plans, which might recommend full fat-cheese. Feta is a lower-fat cheese, and it would be recommended to use low-fat mozzarella if making this for the South Beach Diet. I'd eat this for any phase of South Beach.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Regency Energy PartnersDividend Yield: 7.10% Regency Energy Partners (NYSE: RGP) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.10%. Regency Energy Partners LP engages in gathering, treating, processing, compressing, and transporting natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The company operates in Gathering and Processing, Natural Gas Transportation, NGL Services, and Contract Services segments. The company has a P/E ratio of 221.58. The average volume for Regency Energy Partners has been 589,600 shares per day over the past 30 days. Regency Energy Partners has a market cap of $5.6 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are up 2% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Regency Energy Partners as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, increase in net income, increase in stock price during the past year and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 5.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 26.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 2050.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$2.00 million to $39.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 136.25% to $186.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, REGENCY ENERGY PARTNERS LP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 2.54%.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Looking ahead, unless broad bear market conditions prevail, we still see more upside potential for this stock, despite the fact that it has already risen over the past year.
- REGENCY ENERGY PARTNERS LP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, REGENCY ENERGY PARTNERS LP reported lower earnings of $0.13 versus $0.29 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.30 versus $0.13).

Neil Carmichael praises Neighbourhood Plans during Parliamentary debate
11:33am Thursday 6th March 2014
11:33am Thursday 6th March 2014
STROUD MP Neil Carmichael this week praised the work of communities in Chalford, Dursley and Eastington in working towards compiling neighbourhood plans, during a debate in the House of Commons.
During questions to Nick Boles, Minister for Planning, Neil asked whether the Minister agreed that neighbourhood plans were an 'appropriate protector against inappropriate developments', with which the Minister concurred.
In July last year Neil held a seminar inviting town and parish councils to discuss developing a neighbourhood plan with key local planning consultants, and has been a champion of local communities having the ability to shape development in their areas.
Neil is currently supporting residents in Kings Stanley and Leonard Stanley, who are opposed to development at Mankley Field, and has noted the failure of Stroud District Council to implement a local plan which would protect such areas from developers.
Speaking following the debate, Neil Carmichael commented: "Neighbourhood plans are crucial in giving communities a strong voice to choose what, and where, development takes place within their area. "I am delighted that Chalford, Eastington and Dursley, among other communities, have taken the initiative, and hope that more will follow suit.
"Stroud District Council's failure to prepare a local plan has opened the door to developers, but by adopting a neighbourhood plan communities can keep large-scale developments in unwanted areas at bay."
Planning Minister Nick Boles will be visiting the Stroud constituency in April, to discuss development sites around the district.
