Skywatcher EQ 5 Newt

For a 10" Newtonian you really want the Orion Atlas (or something similar) at least. A 10" newtonian really pushed the Atlas already anyway, anything smaller would be a bit scary.
Posted 26 April 2009 - 09:44 PM
i think this is correct too. The skyview pro i think is a CG4 type.
Skywatcher sells the 10" on the eq6 i have never seen it on the eq5 that does not make any sence to me, i also know SW sells the 8" on the eq5 which is not perfect but ok the 10" on the eq5 is wayy to small for that ota.Unless the dealer had the ota & mount left & just put those 2 together for a cheaper price.

Unemployment sucks when you got the bug.
Posted 26 April 2009 - 10:49 PM
It uses the same hand controller as the Orion scopes do.

I'm in complete agreement that this newt belongs on a much heavier mount.
Posted 27 April 2009 - 05:57 PM
That's what it looked like to me too, I think even a Sirius mount wouldn't be enough for a 10" Newtonian, even if you were only doing visual for it. But if they're selling it I guess the EQ5/Skyview Pro type mount must at least be able to move the beast around the sky. (I know that Orion sells a package with an 8" Newtonian on the SVP.)
Thanks to everyone for their responses, I am curious about this package and so I'll pop over the reflectors forum and ask is anyone has one. It doesn't look stable enough but it must be...
This mount is definitely *not* the same as the Orion Sirius - that mount is badged as the HEQ5 Pro by Skywatcher. The EQ5 Pro looks more like a retooled Orion AstroView or Orion SkyView Pro.
I'm in complete agreement that this newt belongs on a much heavier mount.
Posted 27 April 2009 - 08:50 PM
The sirus mount looks like the old SW HEQ5.
The Skyview pro is SW EQ5 mount.

I didn't know quite what to expect from this concert, but it was a great delight and highly enjoyable. The musicians are young, and play with great enthusiasm, and their conductors are also young and enthusiastic. The Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet was done very well, and the Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto was also well-played, although the pianist did not milk the music for all its emotion in my opinion. The second half featured a folk-music ensemble of 5 playing on traditional Kazakh instruments, such as lute-like instruments, drums of various sorts, a type of zither, a beautiful-sounding vertical flute, jaw's harps,and a mournful bowed string instrument that was very old. Only having formed the ensemble in 2008, the performers were very gifted and exhibited an appealing showmanship, aided by their colorful costumes. I knew nothing about authenticity or otherwise, but judged it a very enjoyable chance to hear traditional Kazakh folk songs. The highlight for me was a contemporary composition by the composer Aktoty Raimkulova----she is a dean at the Kurmangazy Kazakh national Conservatory, but apparently has written numerous compositions that have been performed in Europe at least. This symphonic poem combined the classical orchestra with the folk ensemble in fascinating ways---the orchestra seemed to be "learning" from the folk ensemble in the sense of developing very colorful and unusual sonorities, pitch-bending of the clarinet solo, evocative marimba-type percussion. There was a beautiful episodic flow to the music, with the orchestra handing-off the music to the smaller group in very interesting ways, sometimes descending to very quiet passages where the haunting sound of the stringed folk instrument could be heard like the winds across the steppes, very lonely. The ending of the piece featured the dramatic appearance of a very special instrument---I won't spoil the surprise. It would be a shame if this piece is not recorded and made available on CD. The finale was Bernstein's Candide Overture, and the orchestra seemed to have warmed up even more in the 2nd half, delivering an exciting, sparkling, clean, effervescent performance of this lovely music. Both conductors were excellent at drawing forth the maximum from their musicians, and had wonderful podium presence. The encore was an exciting piece from that part of the world, but one I was unfamiliar with. I left with a very happy feeling.

On Tuesday, the residents of the "hippie town" of Arcata, California will have the opportunity to punish – or relieve – local pot growers as they will vote on Measure I, which would levy a staggering 45 percent electricity tax on any residence that uses three times the volume of energy utilized in an average family home.
Measure I is obviously aimed at indoor pot farmers, with the overt intention of the Arcata City Council being to "drive the large-scale growing operations out of town" as Councilman/Vice Mayor Shane Brinton told the AP. The Council claims they are responding to the concerns of their constituents who complain that the indoor pot gardens are fire hazards and "stink up" the neighborhood.
If Measure I passes, it will be the first law of its kind specifically targeting pot growers and could set a dangerous precedent in other "Emerald Triangle" towns. There will be loopholes for those homes with residents who have medical and other issues that require an excessive use of energy.
But is Measure I truly about eradicating indoor pot growers or raising money for strapped city coffers? Power utility giant Pacific Gas & Electric reported that 633 Arcata residences use enough energy to power a large retail outlet and are presumed to be growing pot. Such homes would be hit with a $700 monthly power bill, likely more than their rent.
Should the pot cultivators decide to pay the tax, it would raise $1.2 million dollars for Arcata – four percent of the city's annual operating budget.

Hi Victoria,
The three plants that I purchased from you are doing just fine. I especially love the black orchid with the pink stripe. It had a beautiful flower a few months ago, and now is developing another stem off of the main stem. I am now looking for a low-light tropical plant that will grow to about four to five feet in height. Do you have anything like that?? Judy firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Thank you I wanted to let you know that I received the Russian Old World Santa I ordered. It is beautiful. The craftsmanship that went into it is extraordinary. I will take great pride and pleasure in giving him for a Christmas present. He will be going to a very special home. I will be Sorry to see him go. I would be happy to recommend your beautiful product to anyone. Thank you again. Sharon Mihalik (email@example.com)
Subject: Hello, fellow fairy Hi, my name is amanda. I am a fairy, and a collector of fairy friends. I wanted to tell you that your creations are the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Glad I stumbled upon your page. Keep up the amazing work! email@example.com
Hello Victoria, I just wanted to say the flowers all doing great, except for Strawberry shortcake--it died. I kept thinking it would come back but no chance. the others seem very healthy and seem to like the window I have them in. thank you again. I really love them. they'll make the winter go faster. Peggy Sahlman
Hi Victoria, I received the plants that you sent me today. They look fine and healthy. Thank you for the free plant. Please send me growing instructions for all three plants. The orchid does not look like any of my other 3 orchids. Does it like sun or shade? Thanks again, Judy
( From Australia!)
Blanche thank you for forwarding your new address. The fairy you sent has not shifted from where I placed it up the street in the middle of her main flower bed. Someone has added a wee headstone beside it so I think we can safely say that it was much appreciated and the colours you chose helped. Thanks Helen (email@example.com)
Hi, I love your website. One day I will buy fairies and gnomes. But, for now, just wanted to let you know. I have a blooming Black Jewel Orchid (about 12 blossoms on a tall stalk) and a blooming Episcia (Chocolate Cream, I believe). All else are well, except the Looking Glass Begonia, it did not make it. Thank you again. I am a happy gardener. Sincerely, Sue
Dear Blanche:
Thank you for letting me know about your move. I want to ordered a couple of plants or more. I am entering Chocolate Cream in the fair. It is still little but it is really cool. It has a lot of runners and a lot of blooms. They have an exotic plant category and I think it well probably be the only episcia there. Good luck with your move and I will be looking forward to seeing you on the Internet.....................Lori O.
Blanche: These are the three Episcias I gave to my mom. You can see they are in good hands. She has a bloom and another blossom on the same plant. I gave her the Emerald Queen, Frost Emerald and Tiger Stripe. That is what is in this pot; all three in same large pot. They have grown tremendously since she got them. Thank you again. I am also sending photo of the other three - Chocolate Cream, Fanny Hague and Pink Panther. Nancy firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Blanch:
I received the plants in good condition on Tuesday. Many thanks for completing the order and also for the gift plants. What a lovely surprise. I am pleased with Alice's Aussie: it's a gorgeous red, isn't it? It has been a pleasure doing business with you. I hope to purchase more Episcias in the future, after I determine my success with these. Thanks again, Geraldine Kennedy (email@example.com)
Just like to acknowledge your order recently we received here in the UK. A Very Very nice product and very detailed painting excellent in fact. Will be buying something else from you again soon. Regards Steve and Brenda (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Blanche I received the plants today. They are wonderful. What bundles of joy. I have been trying to find Episcias for so long. I had two Chocolate soldiers and I think that I loved them to death. So I really appreciate the info on their care. I couldn't believe how much care you took preparing them for their long journey . they got here in great shape. Last but not least. Thanks so much for the free gift Lori Ortiz
Hi Blanche': My order came this morning and I couldn't be happier with it. All of the fairies are beautiful and so detailed! I have shared your website with the members of my gardening E-Group, 3 of whom have said they will order from you. I intend to inform my friends and family so they won't have to worry about what to get me for my birthday and Christmas anymore. You offer a very good quality product. Susan Armour firstname.lastname@example.com
The package arrived today and the fairies are in one piece (each). Mary Beth likes them very much. I appreciate your getting them to us in good time before Easter. Thanks Again and I look forward to seeing your new ones around Mothers Day. Bill ( email@example.com )

Happy Spring, Judith Gengler, Providence, Rhode Island PS I sent 2 photos, he's so cute.
I just received the angel. I do not know what to say; she is beautiful. She tells a story. Her eyes just look right at you. by: Elizabeth Rodriguez, New Jersey

Hi Blanch: I received the Ga Man today, and I want to let you know we think he is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! He truly is like the original "ga man" of thirty years ago (meaning not plastic, and freshly painted). Once again, thank you so very much. My son will love it in their garden, and I know his kids will love it too! Please feel free to use my name (or email) for any references or recommendations anytime. Keep in touch if you should develop any new lines. Your work was of outstanding quality, and I can tell you put a lot of love into it. Thanks once again, Mary Colvin Stretchberry
Blanche: Don't worry about the Moonlight Valley. I am tickled with the plants as they are and I am glad that you are keeping my order for next year. I have the plants in an enclosure as I write this with a plant light to give them a little umph. The weather has turned a little cold right now but then it is to warm up in a few days. I love doing business with you and you can count on me as a yearly customer. You have excellent plants and I am very pleased with what I got. I don't mind the wait one bit. It was worth it. Thanks so much. Mary Beth firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Blanche, I just wanted you to know that I did receive my aroma lamp and you were right....I love it ! Thanks for the suggestion. It fits right in with my magnolia decor. It is absolutely eloquent-just as you said it was. Will continue to shop your site...Have a great weekend. With warm regards, Clair Millet
Hi Blanche! Sorry to get back to you with such delay. Yes! We've received the gnomes as of Monday, July 10, 2000. They actually probably arrived sooner, but please take into account that we were on vacation from June 29 - July 9, and had our mail delivery stopped for that time period. Anyway, we were delighted with the gnomes, particularly my father (whom they were for). Thank you so much for your efforts toward making these lovely. We will definitely contact you in the future when we wish to purchase a few for our own garden. They were just brilliant! Thanks again! Mrs. Jennifer Piesik (email@example.com)
Hello Blanche, We were moving, so I had no phone or computer access till today. I am so please with the health and size of the plants. I will be ordering again soon. Thank you so much! Dory firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Blanche, The episcias are doing great & growing well. The new stuff looks great. I look forward to placing another order in the near future. You are the best seller I have ever purchased from online and your plants are the healthiest. Be shopping soon, health & happiness, Dory email@example.com
Thank you Ms. Blanche. My begonias and espiscias are doing lovely. Thank you for sharing. email@example.com
Hello Blanche,I have just completed my coursework in midlight and am about to go to bed. I have just visited your web site and find out that it has some new features. Your web site becomes more and more attractive. email@example.com
The first thing that pops into my head looking at your old world Santas is "Hey--you're selling them too cheap!" Obviously I'm a fellow artist instead of a customer or I'd never say such a thing. Best, Kevin Tuma
I have been buying plants and other items-the aroma lamps etc.-from Blanche for over a year now.Her plants are always well-packed and arrive intact and in good condition and don't die off two days after you get them.The porcelain items she makes are beautiful and well-done--very delicate and well-formed. She is very good to deal with -helpful and willing to work with you -and lots of fun too BTW E-Mail email@example.com
I'm a Santa collector. Right now my collection exceeds 600 Santas from all over the world. As happens with collectors, you seem to have a number of favorites. Most of my favorites happen to come from Blanche Victoria. Her Santas seem to be more than painted ceramic. They evoke memories and emotions. I would never hesitate to add another of her works. gordon aka gentle_way
Items as described. well packed. would do again! Hidie
I have 4 Santas, and 1 gnome from Victoria's that protect my Plants and Tropicals . These are not only beautiful figures, but marvelous conversation pieces when company comes, and, my plants have never looked so wonderful. B. Weatherman (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Any Jedi Academy Clans?
I want to join a Jedi Academy clan, im a great Jedi Academy player, i have outcast also, so for either game, IM me at quiksilverx181 on aol instant messenger or email@example.com on msn messenger. I really wanna join a jedi knight clan so hook me up. HOPEFULLY JEDI ACADEMY!!!!!
Clan Forum
Try here. I could tell you about a few clans but i think deciding for yourself is always better.
It is very difficult to play mp in a game where physics aren't set in stone and gameplay is hit and miss (random). These issues need addressing before any serious competetive gameplay could possible take place (and saying 'we had a tourney wif 5 ppl and we rocked' doesnt count...I said serious). Because of this, there are no 'good' clans. All are either equally poor, or equally stupid (until the stuff is fixed).
And btw, saying your 'a great Jedi Acdemy player' is no feat at all. Anyone can be 'great' at JA in 30mins due to the simplified physics.
no comment
Yes, very good clans such as: www.roughnex.co.uk
There's nothing wrong with the physics and dynamics :o they're fine. Just the odd bug here and there n the game's sorted.
Well evangellic, as they say ignorance is bliss, so ill just presume your ignorant.
Although the clan may have potential, no clan can 'own' this game because of the touch and go game physics. I've seen it (not just from me, but with loads of people.) People should clearly win after getting a few direct hits, but it either doesnt damage (due to it recording it wrongly as a miss) or it does little damage (due to it being recorded in the wrong the area of hit ie. the leg bx instead of the head box).
The other thing is blocks aren't always blocks and hits aren't always hits. This is a bug and yet another reason why playing competetively atm is a farse.
And no its not because saber damage is set to something ridiculous, its a bug that was even present in JK2, just that now it seems mch much worse.
As for this game requiring more skill than learning from playing mp for 30 mins...that is my belief. Don't forget that Raven pruposely targeted this game for people to come along and play (ie. not needing to learn a great deal). So by definition, to play competetively is to play a game that does not take a great deal of skill. And I don't see how a competetive community can thrive on that (with there being to prospect to expand in strategy, tactics or skill without going against ravens aim to target the game at unskillful players). But if they do wish to target the game for a more skilled audience, thats great news. The End.
well for most part i have to agree totally with Jawa8578
except in Siege , it qoute requires skill , when u really good at it
u can make the difference in a match
but as he said in a saber FFA theres no skill required
Could we Please either get this thread closed or moved, since it's obviously going to start a flame debate over whether people who play JA suck or not... which frankly I am so... freaking... tired... of hearing. Here's my opinon on the matter...
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth, V. i. 19.
And Jawa8578... you presume too much.
Well put Akshara.
PEOPLE , read the first post, he asked for a point in a certain direction, not your meaningless opinions about how you think the game could be improved.
btw: JA and JO are not the same game, so if you like JO fine, go play it then.
btw: He said JA or JO.
and i can think of two saber only clans that are far beyond any other (that play the game).
nicely said ak
all holding our breath for the sdk to get our mods out the door.
Judging by the great number of "clan tags" I see in use just on a cursory examination of ASE (and not counting all the people who "smurf" without their tags, heh, you guys know who you are!) I'd say clans are fairly well represented in JA so far.
Of course that says nothing about the size or skill of any of those clans, but hey, nobody said being in a clan made you a better player necessarily or that "bigger = better" with regard to clans.
As I see it some people have more fun playing with a regular group of people than by themselves. Theoretically playing together frequently would give you a good understanding of each person's strengths and weaknesses and help you play as a more solid team (which would be very helpful in tournaments and team based situations).
Plenty of JK2 clans haven't moved on to JA or have "given up" on JA, but then new clans have been formed that didn't exist in the previous game and some have been reformed/recombined/split, etc and some clans play both (and more) games, so I'd say it's probably growing and we'll see in about a year if it's more, less, or equally popular as JK2 was.
PS: I won't dig up the can of worms people are already beating again against the dead horse of the "JA sucks it takes no skillz!" people, but I would ask you this question: "If the game is so easy to master, why isn't everyone a master? Shouldn't every game end in a draw then in every gametype? Or are you contradicting yourself by saying its random, in which case nobody could ever master the game, period, and thus consistent wins would be statistically unlikely to ever happen, like in gambling?"
As I stated, this game requires the skill of 30 mins of mp experience. No offence, but I genuenly believe some people are just retarded. Thats not a joke by the way. They stand there with their sabers prepped to blue style and then stand...stand...walk forward a little...stand...use arrow buttons to turn around...walk a little...stand. So yes, not everyone can master this game, just those who aren't complete utter morons.
So the 'skill'. Well to get good at the game you need to basically time roll stabs, katas and butterflys and hey presto, you're a master. Thats the 'skill' of the game. Its done that way to help new players play quickly and easily. Although you may call all of that skill, it's nothing compared to the vast aspects of JK2. However, that is not the subject of debate here.
The fact is, there are better players due to experience. These good players can still easily beat your standard saber boy easily, although now, the saber boy may have made a few extra hits causing a bit more damage than usual, but non the less, the better player normally wins.
However, when these 'good players' come to play EACH OTHER competetively (hence the clans and competetive gameplay), presuming both parties being of similar skill levels (as they're in clans), one player will win randomly. He dodges a swing but for some strange reason, known only to a trio of bulltoads living on the third canry island, the swing hits causing death.
This is why COMPETETIVE gameplay is impossible. The physics aren't reliable and consequently players can win or loose randomly.
I summise that most clans are new to JA and therefore haven't played competetively yet. But to anyone who's played JK2 and moved to JA, its plain to see why this game won't work competetively atm.
Always happy to have decent fun guys/gals around.
No guys, I think you misread, he said "Good clans" j/k I nether know nor care about your clans gf.
how did my request to join a clan turn into an arguement? jesus...
Blame Jawa8578.
I probably should have smacked him for trolling, sorry!
You gotta find a clan yourself m8.. using a public forum will only lead to small disputes..
Besides.. go in game and join servers.. there you will find clans. Wether it suites you is up to you.
I just illustarted why joining a competetive clan would be pointless. Sorry if I gave the impression of caring. I don't.
Few rules for joining a clan:
1. Get to know a clan, make sure you like them.
2. Never join a clan if somebody asks you to join after seeing you play like 1/2 times. (It means they're desperate and their clan will be ****ty).
3. Hint that you want to join. If you're not asked, you're not good enough.
4. Make sure your duel sabers are prepped and ready wif those bad ass katars.
Not competively though of course, I suck.
Sorry that your thread got hijacked.
But the best way to join a clan is like they say, find a server you like w/ friendly people (or a**holes, your choice), and just play there regularly and if your good enough they'll notice you.
One thing to stay away from are clans just starting(to unorganized) or clans that are to big (don't even bother w/ |SiN|, not sure, but I think they suck and if I remember correctly they are arrogant and poor losers as well.
Don't stick to one server either hop around, find your fav. force regen time and force power disable settings, and play on those servers.
Im sorry to say, but anyone with any experience (due to being at least average at the game, which isnt hard) doesnt need to post on a forums asking wehere he can join a clan.
My point is that the very fact that you needed to post here asking how/where to join a clan is enough to demonstate your experience, and therefore skill level. Hence your not good enough to join a clan. Look for people who play badly and they might let you in a clan...or maybe not.
SiN is also known as MoH..
Bad clan...
"Keep on truckin", you'll find one.
My opinion is to stay away from clans entirely, Sure I've been in a clan, only for about a month or so and it dissipated, most were older folks (well over 20, a couple in there late 20's) couple of us had children, some col. students, and one female (woohoo).
I have to say it was the coolest clan, and most of us were skilled as well.
Well w/ out beating around the bush, what I'm trying to say is if you want to play competively join a team, if you want to play for fun go solo.
Kinda reminds me of High School and all the Clics (sp?) lol, being said most of them are probrally that age.
No mean to offend you if you are 15 or 16 (88).
Honestly couldn't point you towards a good clan (most are invite only) but when I first started playing JA back in Sept. there were some clan servers out there w/ pretty decent chaps/dames. I don't play on clan servers any more really though.
Good Luck,
Yes most are invite only.
If a clan is openly recruting then its gonna be a crap clan.
The fact that you need to post here suggests you have no experience, therefore are new, therefore are not good enough to join any clan. Play the game for 30 mins and if you've any sense you'll be a master. There will soon be no competetive clans as they'll soon find out they cannot play the game competetively, due to reasons prestated. So go join a group of rpg'ers or something.
dude im not new, i just dont know where to look for a clan, because i never was into clans on jedi knight games
dude im not new, i just dont know where to look for a clan, because i never was into clans on jedi knight games
finding a good clan for any semi-competitive game is going to be exactly the same. find ladders and see what the top clans are and go to their irc channels.
Ignore the little jawa... he gets his rocks off insulting people and telling them how much they suck. *whispers in ear* (He has a yoda weewee...)
One big question you should ask yourself is "what type of clan am I looking for?" These are the main three I'm familiar with:
1) Competitive clans (and yes, we know... they all suck in JA) who play against each other in tournaments & ladders. Often they might specialize in a specific game style, though many play all or several styles. They have scheduled practices, focus highly on teamwork and strategy, and take their successes or failures very seriously. Here you will usually find the best and most skilled players, but alas... also the most arrogant and confrontational.
2) Just for Fun clans that are basically a bunch of people who like playing together with custom maps/skins, and usually the game style doesn't matter. They might have a website and/or a private/public server with an open schedule; or they might have scheduled matches and trainings. Sometimes they'll challenge another clan to an event and have a "competitive" experience... in any case, here you will usually find a somewhat relaxed and freespirited type of player, but also a lot less focus on the skill of playing - that's not to say they aren't good players though, or might participate in tournaments/ladders. Sometimes a newer clan that perceives itself as "competitive" will more likely fall into this category without realizing it.
3) Role Playing clans (RP) that create an entire world or story within an era of the Star Wars universe, where each member takes on a role to play within the group. Usually these groups schedule events in a private server that are fairly high on dialogue and intrigue, while low on action and mayhem. These events can be quite enjoyable when done well, and a stimulating change from the regular "all action" gameplay - and they can also digress into quite boring and chatty IRC session when done poorly. They tend to use lOts of custom maps, skins, and mods to create their worlds within an FFA game style environment. Often there's a farily strong hierarchy to the group, as well as a host of rules to follow, which many in these groups feel are necessary to keep things focused and on track. Here you will be treated with respect and honor, which is both a blessing and a curse... it can get a little pretentious and stuffy at times.
Now there are some that fall outside of these three of course, but this covers most of the ones you'll come across. Clans tend to lean either toward the Light or Dark side... I've rarely come across those that blend the two together, though some of them do try. Considering all of this info could possibly help narrow down the search for you, as well as save a lot of wasted time heading down the wrong direction.
Clans have the potential to be a lot of fun; but they also have the potential to be a royal pita. A lot of the servers out there are supported by clans. Generally, if you find a server that you enjoy playing on regularly, and the people are welcoming and nice to you, then walk up and ask a member how one joins their group. Usually they'll give you a website address where you can read their information. Sometimes the welcome screen on a server will have a web address listed - write it down if it's one you like. A good clan will usually have it's own forum, or at least a requirements page with some email contacts. The IRC channels are good to find the more competitive clans, while many will often use MSN, AIM, or ICQ to connect privately. I would recommend getting a copy of Trillian Basic if you're serious about finding a clan - it's an IM client that covers AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, and IRC all in the same interface with no ads.
If you clarify what you're looking for here in a clan experience, maybe someone can point you in a good direction...
May the Force be with you.
hey man you realy wanna join a JA clan.you can join mine.Im clan leader o (KC)you can contact me on kc server.My JA name is (KC)Darth reban(DL)so join my clan.
This is a dead thread mandalorian. If you'd bother to look to your left and up you'll see the last post was in 2003. I advise admin to lock.

@Taipan you really can't compare the pre-split Indycar Series with the watered down Champcar Series that Bourdais took part in. That is like comparing F1 with A1GP. JV was an awesome talent in Indycar and F1. He had the best rookie season in F1 history. Sure he wasted most of his career at BAR but that really should not diminish his prior accomplishments. He was one of the first drivers to really race Schumacher wheel to wheel. The pass around the outside on the last corner in Estoril was brilliant.
On Michael Andretti it is true that he did not take F1 serious enough as he did not even bother to move to Europe. That car was dog and the team was clearly built around Senna. Once Michael started to figure things out they canned him.

For the last four years, Alamo Drafthouse programmer Zack Carlson has hosted a late-night horror movie celebration called Terror Tuesday and if you are a lover of horror, both esoterically brilliantly and obscurely awful, this night was invented just for you. The Terror Tuesday Report will dissect the movie shown as well as provide a barometer for the audience's reaction; as many of these films demand to be seen with an audience, this proves a vital component to the evening.
This week's film: 'Evils of the Night' directed by Mardi Rustam, 1985 div style="text-align: center;">
The Film
The lake in the middle of woods is a popular spot for teens looking for recreational debauchery. They show up in droves to drink, smoke, and get all fleshy with one another. Unfortunately, and strangely unnoticed by anyone, teens in this area have picked up one more nasty habit: disappearing. A pair of auto mechanics are snatching up young thrill-seekers and depositing them at a nearby abandoned hospital. OK, now stick with me here. It as at this point where the aliens drain their blood in an attempt to increase their lifespans. This is what passes for plot in 'Evils of the Night.'
For the three people that have followed this feature since the beginning of the year, you will understand the weight of what I am about to say. 'Evils of the Night' rivals 'Boarding House' as the worst film of Terror Tuesday in 2010. Few films are able to pull off this level of ineptitude and fail on every conceivable level. Its flaws are rooted in its casting and branch out horribly from there. So for the alien protagonists, the makers of 'Evils of the Night' were clearly striving to prove that they could be as equal opportunity as possible by casting Julie Newmar, Tina Louise (Ginger from 'Gilligan's Island'), and two-feet-and-torso-in-the-grave John Carradine. The female extraterrestrials are sporting 60's mod sci-fi attire featuring short skirts that would have better suited them 30 years earlier and Carradine struggles with every line as if it were a death rattle. But at least they cast lots of porn stars as the teens to balance both age and talent. This would explain why the first few moments of the film don't just feel like soft-core porn but in fact are soft-core porn.
Nothing about this film makes the slightest lick of sense. What is so appealing about this sewage treatment plant runoff they call a lake that keeps them coming back despite the number of people that go AWOL after swimming there? They make mention of the fact that these two mechanics have been rounding up campers for a while and yet no one seems to notice. There are scenes of characters supposedly telling jokes, but the only way you would know that is that there is an actual pause in the conversation to allow the audience to laugh. I laughed harder at the assumption that anyone would find the jokes funny than the jokes themselves. There is also the painfully obvious fact that this elaborate plan to sustain youth in these aliens ISN'T WORKING!
But the thing that really drives me nuts about 'Evils of the Night' is that it becomes mired in its own ineptitude. It reaches a point where its z-movie charm wears off and it simply refuses to end. There are scenes of teens trying to escape the clutches of their captors in which they exhibit as much intelligence as one would normally find in a carpet tack and end up running around in circles ad infinitum. It is exhausting. The are also moments wherein characters are running for safety and inexplicably stop to look around for several minutes. It's then that you realize that they are trying not to run outside of the glow of the single overhead porch light that serves as the entire lighting design of the film.
If you can make sense of the ending of this film, please contact me so I may stop chewing off my fingers thinking about it.
The Reaction
Once again, this week saw a guest host presiding over the evening. This time it was Lars Nilsen, host of the accompanying weekly signature event at the Alamo: Weird Wednesday. Lars is no slouch when it comes to bringing equal parts laughs and insight in his film introduction and did a phenomenal job crossing over to the Terror Tuesday crowd. The reaction to the film itself isn't hard to predict. At first, the auditorium was alive with laughter at the amazingly awful events unfolding on screen. But as the film ground to a halt, I noticed a number of watches being checked and heads nodding. By the last scene, a goodly portion of my row was fast asleep. I think a movie like this is better served watching on VHS with a group of friends and lots of alcohol in an environment where it is perfectly acceptable to turn it off prior to act three.

By J. A. MacCulloch
A special class of diviners existed among the Celts, but the Druids practiced divination, as did also the unofficial layman. Classical writers speak of the Celts as of all nations the most devoted to, and the most experienced in, the science of divination. Divination with a human victim is described by Diodorus. Libations were poured over him, and he was then slain, auguries being drawn from the method of his fall, the movements of his limbs, and the flowing of his blood. Divination with the entrails was used in Galatia, Gaul, and Britain. Beasts and birds also provided omens. The course taken by a hare let loose gave an omen of success to the Britons, and in Ireland divination was used with a sacrificial animal. Among birds the crow was pre-eminent, and two crows are represented speaking into the ears of a man on a bas-relief at Compiegne. The Celts believed that the crow had shown where towns should be founded, or had furnished a remedy against poison, and it was also an arbiter of disputes. Artemidorus describes how, at a certain place, there were two crows. Persons having a dispute set out two heaps of sweetmeats, one for each disputant. The birds swooped down upon them, eating one and dispersing the other. He whose heap had been scattered won the case. Birds were believed to have guided the migrating Celts, and their flight furnished auguries, because, as Deiotaurus gravely said, birds never lie. Divination by the voices of birds was used by the Irish Druids.
Omens were drawn from the direction of the smoke and flames of sacred fires and from the condition of the clouds. Wands of yew were carried by Druids—"the wand of Druidism" of many folk-tales—and were used perhaps as divining-rods. Ogams were also engraved on rods of yews, and from these Druids divined hidden things. By this means the Druid Dalan discovered where Etain had been hidden by the god Mider. The method used may have been that of drawing one of the rods by lot and then divining from the marks upon it. A similar method was used to discover the route to be taken by invaders, the result being supposed to depend on divine interposition. The knowledge of astronomy ascribed by Caesar to the Druids was probably of a simple kind, and much mixed with astrology, and though it furnished the data for computing a simple calendar, its use was largely magical. Irish diviners forecast the time to build a house by the stars, and the date at which S. Columba's education should begin, was similarly discovered.
The Imbas Forosnai, "illumination between the hands," was used by the File to discover hidden things. He chewed a piece of raw flesh and placed it as an offering to the images of the gods whom he desired to help him. If enlightenment did not come by the next day, he pronounced incantations on his palms, which he then placed on his cheeks before falling asleep. The revelation followed in a dream, or sometimes after awaking. Perhaps the animal whose flesh was eaten was a sacred one. Another method was that of the Teinm Laegha. The File made a verse and repeated it over some person or thing regarding which he sought information, or he placed his staff on the person's body and so obtained what he sought. The rite was also preceded by sacrifice; hence S. Patrick prohibited both it and the Imbas Forosnai. Another incantation, the Cetnad, was sung through the fist to discover the track of stolen cattle or of the thief. If this did not bring enlightenment, the File went to sleep and obtained the knowledge through a dream. Another Cetnad for obtaining information regarding length of life was addressed to the seven daughters of the sea. Perhaps the incantation was repeated mechanically until the seer fell into a kind of trance. Divination by dreams was also used by the continental Celts.
Other methods resemble "trance-utterance." "A great obnubilation was conjured up for the bard so that he slept a heavy sleep, and things magic-begotten were shewn to him to enunciate," apparently in his sleep. This was called "illumination by rhymes," and a similar method was used in Wales. When consulted, the seer roared violently until he was beside himself, and out of his ravings the desired information was gathered. When aroused from this ecstatic condition, he had no remembrance of what he had uttered. Giraldus reports this, and thinks, with the modern spiritualist, that the utterance was caused by spirits. The resemblance to modern trance-utterance and to similar methods used by savages is remarkable, and psychological science sees in it the promptings of the subliminal self in sleep.
The taghairm of the Highlanders was a survival from pagan times. The seer was usually bound in a cow's hide—the animal, it may be conjectured, having been sacrificed in earlier times. He was left in a desolate place, and while he slept spirits were supposed to inspire his dreams. Clothing in the skin of a sacrificial animal, by which the person thus clothed is brought into contact with it and hence with the divinity to which it is offered, or with the divine animal itself where the victim is so regarded, is a widespread custom. Hence, in this Celtic usage, contact with divinity through the hide would be expected to produce enlightenment. For a like reason the Irish sacrificed a sheep for the recovery of the sick, and clothed the patient in its skin. Binding the limbs of the seer is also a widespread custom, perhaps to restrain his convulsions or to concentrate the psychic force.
Both among the continental and Irish Celts those who sought hidden knowledge slept on graves, hoping to be inspired by the spirits of the dead. Legend told how, the full version of the Tain having been lost, Murgan the File sang an incantation over the grave of Fergus mac Roig. A cloud hid him for three days, and during that time the dead man appeared and recited the saga to him.
In Ireland and the Highlands, divination by looking into the shoulder-blade of a sheep was used to discover future events or things happening at a distance, a survival from pagan times. The scholiast on Lucan describes the Druidic method of chewing acorns and then prophesying, just as, in Ireland, eating nuts from the sacred hazels round Connla's well gave inspiration. The "priestesses" of Sena and the "Druidesses" of the third century had the gift of prophecy, and it was also ascribed freely to the Filid, the Druids, and to Christian saints. Druids are said to have prophesied the coming of S. Patrick, and similar prophecies are put in the mouths of Fionn and others, just as Montezuma's priests foretold the coming of the Spaniards. The word used for such prophecies--baile, means "ecstasy," and it suggests that the prophet worked himself into a frenzy and then fell into a trance, in which he uttered his forecast. Prophecies were also made at the birth of a child, describing its future career. Careful attention was given to the utterances of Druidic prophets, e.g. Medb's warriors postponed their expedition for fifteen days, because the Druids told them they would not succeed if they set out sooner.
Mythical personages or divinities are said in the Irish texts to have stood on one leg, with one arm extended, and one eye closed, when uttering prophecies or incantations, and this was doubtless an attitude used by the seer. A similar method is known elsewhere, and it may have been intended to produce greater force. From this attitude may have originated myths of beings with one arm, one leg, and one eye, like some Fomorians or the Fachan whose weird picture Campbell of Islay drew from verbal descriptions.
Early Celtic saints occasionally describe lapses into heathenism in Ireland, not characterized by "idolatry," but by wizardry, dealing in charms, and fidlanna, perhaps a kind of divination with pieces of wood. But it is much more likely that these had never really been abandoned. They belong to the primitive element of religion and magic which people cling to long after they have given up "idolatry."

A more colorful GOP
National | POLITICS: Indian conservative is unusual even by Louisiana standards
Even the most politically na•ve observer wandering into the Bobby Jindal victory party on Oct. 4 would have sensed immediately that something unusual must be going on in Louisiana politics. It wasn't just that Mr. Jindal, at 32, looks too young to be a governor, or that he has a squeaky-clean reputation in a state known for its colorfully corrupt politicians.
No, the real tip-off was the saris scattered throughout the crowd packed into the ballroom of the New Orleans Crowne Plaza hotel-floor-length, Easter-egg hued, traditional Indian saris.
American Indians, thanks to their booming gambling empires, have become a potent political force in several states, but Indians from the Subcontinent have been largely invisible at the ballot box. That they should make a political debut in the Deep South is surprising enough. That they should unite behind a 32-year-old conservative Republican is even more so.
"Bobby inspires us," explained a shy Indian woman who identified herself only as Mala. "His parents came here for a better life, and in one generation look where they have gotten. We work hard and save our money. We want to believe the American dream. Bobby makes us believe."
For a GOP eager to move beyond its rich-white-male caricature, some believe Mr. Jindal could be the face of the future, but he'll have a tough race to win first. Oct. 4 was merely a primary-a nonpartisan, 17-way brawl that would have garnered California-style media attention had a movie star been involved. Instead, it was the relatively unknown son of Indian immigrants who broke out of the pack to capture 33 percent of the vote. His nearest challenger, Democratic Lt. Gov. Kathleen Blanco, garnered just 18 percent. They'll face off again Nov. 15 in a two-way runoff.
For the GOP, off-year elections like this one are often seen as a harbinger of what to expect next year. Despite net gains in both the House and Senate, Republicans suffered a net loss of governorships in 2002. Another decline could spell trouble: If voters are angry about the economy, they typically take it out first on their own governor, who is viewed as most responsible for local economic woes. But the anger can spread from there, bubbling upward to congressional races and the presidency.
If any place looks ripe for a voter revolt, it's Louisiana. The state's economy is in the doldrums, and young people are moving away in droves in search of a brighter future. Mike Foster, the two-term Republican governor, can't run a third time, making it even easier, in theory, for the Democrats to pick up his open seat.
Mr. Jindal most recently served as an assistant secretary in the Department of Health and Human Services and, as a Bush administration appointee, he could be an easy target for voters upset over job losses and soaring deficits. Not surprisingly, the candidate made the economy a centerpiece of his campaign, promising to attract more employers to Louisiana through favorable tax policies and touting his experience as a budget-slasher. (In 1996, as the 24-year-old secretary of the state Department of Health and Hospitals, he erased a $400 million budget deficit through layoffs and belt-tightening.)
That won't be enough to separate him from Ms. Blanco, however, who presents herself as a moderate, pro-business Democrat. She squeaked through the primary just ahead of two more liberal Democrats and quickly turned her attention to unifying the party. That could spell trouble in November: The top three Democratic vote-getters polled a combined 48 percent, and black voters-nearly a third of Louisiana's electorate-seemed unimpressed with Mr. Jindal's minority status.
The Republican, however, is counting on an entirely different political base. Having converted from Hinduism to Catholicism at age 18, Mr. Jindal is an outspoken social conservative in a heavily Catholic state. During the primary campaign he repeatedly blasted Hollywood, gun-control advocates, and liberal federal judges. He bought radio ads defending the Ten Commandments and circulated a flier criticizing a federal judge who outlawed Louisiana's pro-life license plates.
Political pundits say Mr. Jindal will have to tone down his culture-war rhetoric if he hopes to win over independent voters by Nov. 15, but Mr. Jindal insists he'll continue to campaign for what he believes in. He's proved the pundits wrong since the day he announced his long-shot candidacy. He has no reason to stop now.

The band "Pages of Paul" is a country rock band with some vintage appeal! They'll be playing at The People's Choice Festival in Boalsburg next month!
Pages of Paul
The People's Choice Festival
Saturday, July 12 at 4 p.m.
Pages of Paul Band Members:
Karen Nogle - Vocals
Paul Curcuruto - Guitar, Vocals, and Songwriter
Rick Buck - Bass and Vocals
Mark Tomeo - Pedal Steel, Guitar, and Vocals
Scott Ebright - Drums
Info from the band's website:
"Based at the Northern end of the Susquehanna River and in and around the surrounding area of Lewisburg, PA, Pages of Paul plays crisp original pop songs with overtones of country and rock.
The band's five members are lifelong seasoned musicians with a combined experience that spans more than 100 years including world-wide tours and Grammy nominations. Seizing upon experience and the wisdom of age, Pages of Paul has performed original music from its debut CD throughout 2012 and begun making a name for themselves outside the immediate area.
Their debut CD "This Time" is a collection of 12 originals penned by guitarist Paul Curcuruto. As pedal steel and slide guitarist Mark Tomeo, a veteran of the 1980's rock scene via his former band "Rubber Rodeo" states, "There's an abundance of combined experience in Pages of Paul which yielded an unspoken shared direction and goal for all of us. If it was 1970, I'd say we were a country rock band. At the same time we have an incredibly fresh take on everything and it shows in all of our work....sooner or later, someone is going to yell, 'I am Spartacus!'"

Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company has decided to withdraw its sNDA for Velcade in combination with rituximab for the treatment of relapsed follicular lymphoma, citing "business reasons." The decision was made after further evaluation based on discussions with external advisors and FDA.
In the U.S. Velcade is approved for use in patients with multiple myeloma and those with mantle cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior therapy. In follicular lymphoma, Millennium says that it will continue to support evaluation of the drug in various patient subgroups including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The compound is also being tested in clinical trials of previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.
The LYM-3001 trial findings were presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting in 2010 and published in Lancet Oncology in July 2011. The addition of Velcade to rituximab demonstrated a 1.8-month improvement in median progression-free survival (PFS) compared with rituximab alone.
The LYM-3001 trial randomized 676 patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma to receive Velcade and rituximab or rituximab alone. The primary endpoint of the trial was progression-free survival. The most common adverse events of grade 3 or higher were neutropenia (11% in the Velcade-rituximab arm and 4% in the rituximab arm), infection (11% and 4%, respectively), diarrhea (7% and 0%, respectively), herpes zoster (4% and < 1%, respectively), nausea or vomiting (3% and < 1%, respectively), and thrombocytopenia (3% and < 1%, respectively).
Velcade is co-developed by Millennium and Ortho Biotech Oncology Research & Development, a unit of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development. Millennium is responsible for commercialization in the U.S., while Janssen-Cilag is responsible for commercialization in Europe and the rest of the world. Takeda Pharmaceutical and Janssen Pharmaceutical co-promote the drug in Japan. Velcade is approved in more than 90 countries and has reportedly been used to treat more than 300,000 patients worldwide.

The 40 competitive teams reported in nine pulled hooks, 11 Pacific blue marlin tagged and released and one ahi boated all before todays noon round up. Konas reputation for summertime fishing action is well deserved and this week is proving to be very productive. Just 55 minutes into Day Two of HIBT fishing and Hawaii Yacht Club hooked-up a Pacific blue marlin estimated at 250 pounds. Unfortunately, Chinas CAA-Zhu Hai Game Fishing Club pulled its hook, but the South African Protea Team, fishing aboard the 39-foot High Flyer, deployed a satellite tag on their Pacific blue marlin just 33 minutes after angler Wian Terblanche hooked-up. Angler Serge De Bie of New Zealands Bay of Islands Swordfish Club-Eldorado tagged and released a Pacific blue marlin estimated at 175 pounds fishing aboard the 52-foot Unbelievable. HIBT Women Anglers Continue Their Run Angler Janice Allan of New Zealands Whangaroa Sports Fishing Club tagged and released a Pacific blue marlin estimated at 225 pounds after an impressive 14-minute fight. Big Game Clube De Portugal added more team points to the scoreboard when angler Rabina Bagnall tagged and released another Pacific blue marlin. This tournament takes place here because of the Kona Coasts calm, beautiful ocean packed with billfish, said HIBT Founder Peter Fithian. To expand our anglers Kona fishing experience, HIBT teams rotate fishing vessels daily and do not fish with the same boat and captain more than once in the five-day fishing marathon. Late in the afternoon again New Zealands Whangaroa Sports Fishing Club hooked up fishing aboard Holoholo. Weighing in the 388 pound Pacific blue marlin way after dark, angler Trevor Woolston has shaken up the scoreboard. ButKona Game Fishing Club Taiyos angler Masaharu Matsushitas tagged marlin earlier in the day, secured their first place slot. HIBT captains and crews also have a competitive scoreboard. The Henry Chee Award is given to the HIBT captain and crew that score the highest number of billfish points every year. This trophy honors Henry Chee, Konas world-renowned pioneer charter boat captain. The Richard Boone Award is also awarded each year to the HIBT captain and crew receiving the highest scores rated by the teams during the week. The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament is underwritten by the generosity of the County of Hawaii and sponsored in part by KWXX Radio and numerous other corporate and community donors.

The Voice Recap: The Second Round Of Blind Auditions Turn The Tables On Blake Shelton
March 26, 2013 06:14 PM by Lisa Princ
The Voice kicked off season four last night with new mentors Shakira and Usher, but more impressive than the mentors, was the massive amount of talent! Could they find just as much talent tonight? The blind auditions continued, and you will not be disappointed!
The Voice kicked off night two of the blind auditions with Blake and Adam laughing at the thought of hazing the newbies. That was until Shakira and Usher entered the room and were given nothing but praise from the veteran mentors.
Tawnya Reynolds, an aspiring Country star hits the stage first – uh oh, is Blake ready for another team member so soon? Maybe not. Tawnya had an awesome old school Country sound with a voice that reminded me of a mix between Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. Incredible. Shockingly, Blake did not turn his chair, but the other three did! Shakira really wanted her, but Blake pleaded for Tawya to choose Usher. In the end, Shakira won Tawnya over – Adam had no fight at all.
Then we met, Josiah Hawley, a male model who was out to prove that he was more than just a good looking guy. Josiah decided to take a huge risk and perform his rendition of Sunday Morning by Maroon 5. Blake thought he was bad-ass, and even loved Josiah's bad-ass hair. Adam could hear a bit of himself in Josiah, but would Josiah choose Adam? He had three choices as all three guys loved him. Adam tried to play the "you sang my song" card, but Josiah wanted Usher.
The Voice saw their second duo hit the stage. Midas Whale, derived from "might as well," were a pair of folk singers from Idaho. They did a Johnny Cash tune that earned all four mentors fighting over them. Shakira hit it off with them by speaking Spanish with them, which bummed out Blake, who was certain Shakira would win them over. Midas Whale had another choice, however….Adam!
19-year-old Bronx Latin artist, Cathia hit the stage next with a tune in Spanish. Truly a test of her vocal skills for the non-Spanish speaking judges. As Cathia belted out her song, Usher turned almost immediately, followed by Shakira and Blake. While the mentors were excited about her, Cathia was more excited to see all the stars. And just as Adam (who by the way, noted that he did not turn because he is an idiot) was about to tell Blake he was taking on more than he could chew, Blake beat him to the punch, but pleaded his case anyway. Too bad Cathia had her sights set on fellow Latina, so team Shakira it was.
The final blind audition of the night came from Sarah Simmons, from Nashville, TN. Could she be the one for Blake's team tonight? Poor guys has not gotten a single team member tonight, imagine his embarrassment! Sarah started her rendition of One Of Us very softly, but when she hit the raspy notes, Adam couldn't get to his button fast enough. All four judges eventually turned for this incredible singer, with Blake telling her she was one of his top 3 all time Voice contestants! Unfortunately for Blake, Sarah chose Adam, who was in his glory! By far, the best audition of the night!
So, after so much luck last night, Blake walked away empty handed tonight, as no one chose him!

Live from RIMS 2010 – Black Swan Keynote
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 195 Visits
The RIMS conference hits full stride today with luncheon keynote speaker Nicholas Nassim Taleb – author of 'The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.' Taleb's book, which was the #1 highest selling nonfiction book published in 2007 on Amazon, is based on the notion that low frequency (rare) events such as a 'black swan' are unknowable or highly improbable, yet often have the highest impact. With a second edition due out in May, Taleb takes on a unique perspective on risk management and life in general. He recently Tweeted: "Social media are antisocial, health foods are empirically unhealthy, knowledge workers are ignorant, & social sciences aren't scientific." On his home page, he describes his philosophy as:
"I am interested in a systematic program of how to live in a world we don't understand very well –in other words, while most human thought (particularly since the enlightenment) has focused us on how to turn knowledge into decisions, I focus on how to turn lack of information, lack of understanding, and lack of "knowledge" into decisions –how not to be a "turkey". My last book The Black Swan (and the 4th Quadrant papers) drew a map of what we don't understand (the ONLY attempt in the history of thought to set a clear and systematic limit to what we don't know); my current work focuses on how to domesticate the unknown "what to do in a world we don't understand."
His keynote is a can't miss event for risk managers (or anyone in need of some soul searching!).
