CNN/ORC Poll: NJ Governor Chris Christie Leads Possible 2016 GOP Contenders … Not Only is it Way too Early, Don't Count On It Christie
A new CNN poll has New Jersey governor Chris Christie as the front-runner of possible Republican contenders for the 2016 GOP presidential nominee. For the Democrats it would appear that Hillary Clinton is already being coronated their nominee. However, for the GOP not only is this poll way too early, I would doubt that Chris Christie will be the Republican nominee unless they plan on losing another presidential election. Polls at this point are merely a popularity contest and with Christie's recent landslide win for governor in NJ against a no-name opponent, he just happens to be the cause-celeb for today.
There is a long, long way to go and the potential winner for the GOP may not have even come forward yet. The same could be said for Democrats as well. Wasn't Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democrat nominee winner as well before a certain novice, unprepared, 2 year US Senator from Illinois named Obama got into the race?
Who actually thinks the GOP base would vote for Christie after this?
And according to a CNN/ORC International survey, if Hillary Clinton decides against making another bid for the White House, Vice President Joe Biden would be the initial favorite to capture the Democratic nomination.
The poll, released Friday morning, indicates that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, fresh off his Garden State re-election landslide victory and widespread national media attention, jumped to the top of the pack of potential contenders for the GOP nomination.
Twenty-four percent of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP questioned in the survey say they'd be likely to support Christie for the Republican nomination, up seven percentage points from a CNN poll in early September. Back then, Christie and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the House Budget chairman and the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, were virtually tied at the top of the GOP list, with Christie at 17% and Ryan at 16%.
But Ryan, who's stayed mostly away from the political spotlight the past few months, has dropped to 11%, putting him in third place, slightly behind Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, at 13%. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who like Paul has made multiple trips this year to the states that kick off the presidential primary and caucus calendar, like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, stands at 10% in the survey, the only other Republican White House hopeful to get double-digit support.
Sorry, but a win in New Jersey is hardly a microcosm of winning a primary in the Republican party or a national election. New Jersey is it's own animal, much like every state is. Much of the GOP base considered Chris Christie a "Benedict Arnold" when he went overboard gushing over Barack Obama after Hurricane Sandy, sabotaging any chance Mitt Romney may have had. The GOP have run two 'RINO's' in a row, the "mavericky" John McCain in 2008 and Mitt "Romneycare" Romney in 2012. Both candidates alienated the GOP base and in the end, really stood for nothing, except they ere not Obama. At what point will the establishment Republicans understand that the GOP electorate wants a candidate with substance and is not Democrat-light?
The focus this last week should have been on Obama's shameful conduct in Benghazi. Instead, the schizophrenic Christie allowed himself to be manipulated by Obama's camp so easily, that one has to question the reasoning for his desertion of Governor Romney. I believe the egomaniacal Christie would rather run for POTUS in 2016 than 2020. And chose to spend the last week stabbing Mitt in the back.
I understand that Christie had to "break bread" with Obama when Obama came to tour New Jersey for disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy. We all should be fine with that. But after Obama left, Christie has continued to act "star-struck" toward the liberal Democrat. Both men are frequent apologizers for Islam so that may also be a shared bond.
And Christie refused an invitation to attend a Sunday night rally with Mr. Romney in Pennsylvania, only 20 minutes from Trenton. You can google Benedict Arnold/Chris Christie or Traitor Chris Christie and see that the internet is abuzz with stories about how Christie the RINO has been selling out to Obama.
Rick Sanorum Endorses GOP Rival Mitt Romney Republican Presidential Candidate
Rick Santorum endorses Mitt Romney to be the Republican nominee for President, the party comes together … "Above all else, we both agree that President Obama must be defeated." Powerline has the written endorsement and aptly states, "This is a compelling case, and I expect that Romney will have the solid backing of Santorum supporters."
A reader forwards this email Rick Santorum is sending to his supporters in which he announces he's endorsing Mitt Romney.
Santorum makes clear that he felt Romney had answered questions about his commitment to principles the former senator cares about at their one-hour meeting in Pittsburgh. And his backing, while expected, comes at a time when Romney is trying to solidify his standing in the party, whose social conservative base remains uncertain about him.
"Above all else, we both agree that President Obama must be defeated," Santorum writes in the email. :The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious. Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime."
It is going to take all to come together during this most important election of our lifetime to defeat Obama and his socialist, class warfare agenda.

Mitt Romney Takes Lead in PPP Poll in Pennsylvania … Santorum Will Certainly Exit Race if He Loses the Keystone State
GOP Presidential primary hopeful Rick Santorum has been defiant in remaining in the primary race even after last Tuesday's clean sweep by Mitt Romney and the fact that Santorum trails badly in the delegates count. Pennsylvania was supposed to be Santorum's fire wall and the spring board back into relevance. Maybe not.
However, what happens if Santorum loses his home state of Pennsylvania? According to a recent PPP poll, Romney now leads in PA.Romney now leads Santorm 42% to 37% which marks a 17% gain by Romney in just one month and a 6% loss by Santorum. What is good for one goose, should be also the same for the other. There was much talk heading into the Michigan primaries, that if Romney lost the state that he should step down. Would not the same be true for Santorum?
Mitt Romney's taken the lead in PPP's newest poll of Rick Santorum's home state of Pennsylvania. Romney has 42% to 37% for Santorum with Ron Paul at 9% and Newt Gingrich at 6%. The numbers represent a dramatic turnaround from when PPP polled the state a month ago. Romney's gained 17 points, going from 25% to 42%. Meanwhile Santorum's dropped 6 points from 43% to 37%, for an overall swing of 23 points in the last four weeks.
Pennsylvania Republicans are expressing major doubts about Santorum's viability both in the primary and the general election. Only 36% of GOP voters think Santorum has a realistic chance at the nomination to 54% who believe he does not. And when it comes to matching up against Barack Obama in the fall only 24% of Republicans think Santorum would provide their best chance for a victory while 49% think that designation belongs to Romney.
With all due respect to Rick Santorum and his aspirations, if you can't win your home state … goodbye to you. Or will Santorum drop out before such an embarrassing loss in Pennsylvania?

Mitt Romney … Clean Sweep in GOP Presidential Primary Wins in Wisconsin, Maryland and District of Columbia
It was a big night for Mitt Romney as the former Governor of Massachusetts swept through last nights GOP Presidential primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia.Romney was an easy winner in Maryland and DC; however, the big race of the night was in the Cheese head state of Wisconsin where Romney defeated Santorum.
Romney sweeps Wisconsin, Maryland & DC primaries … shortens the number of delegates needed for nomination
Mitt Romney won all three of Tuesday's Republican presidential primaries, putting more distance between himself and his closest contender, Rick Santorum, who indicated he plans to fight on to his home state of Pennsylvania and beyond.
Romney's wins in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia put him past the halfway mark to the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the nomination and add to a wide delegate lead that he holds over the other major GOP presidential candidates, according to CNN estimates.
Yet Santorum indicated Tuesday night he would compete in the April 24 primaries in five states, including Pennsylvania, where his campaign hopes a win would be a gateway to a run of May primaries in states where he can capitalize on higher percentages of conservative voters.
Romney turns focus to Barack Obama following sweeping victories … VIDEO
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The total delegate count to date can be seen HERE. Romney is now more than half way to victory of the necessary delegates to get the GOP nomination. However, Rick Santorum stated following last night's sweep that he was not going away.
But Santorum has made it clear he'll continue on through the April 24 primaries, which include his home state of Pennsylvania as well as a number of states friendly to Romney: Connecticut, New York, Delaware and Rhode Island.
GOP strategists say it's unlikely Santorum could be swayed by any Romney endorsements, and that unless Romney beats him in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania the race could continue on through the end of May. Romney has fallen behind Obama in the polls, a sign the long and nasty primary is hurting his campaign.

Rick Santorum Wins Big in GOP Louisiana Primary
Rick Santorum Wins GOP Louisiana Primary
The GOP Louisiana primary race has been called by CNN for Rick Santorum. With 23% of the precincts reporting, Santorum has an overwhelming lead at 47% with Mitt Romney a distance second with 27%, followed by Gingrich with 18% and Paul with 6%. The end result, Santorum wins another Southern state.
Rick Santorum will win Saturday's Republican presidential primary in Louisiana by winning close to majority of the vote, according to early results and exit polling,
Santorum's win was his fourth in the South, where front-runner Mitt Romney has not been able to connect with conservative voters in the region.
Winning Louisiana big will help fuel Santorum's campaign as the conservative alternative to Romney.
UPDATE I: The final tally in the Louisiana primaries was a resounding 22 point victory for Rick Santorum: Santorum 49% and Romney 27%. The focus now shifts to Wisconsin where Rasmussen has Romney up double digits over Santorum.
"People in Louisiana came through in a big way," Santorum said from a brewery in Green Bay, Wisc. "You didn't get the memo. We're still fighting. … I'm not running as the conservative candidate for president. I am the conservative candidate."
Santorum said Romney called to congratulate him.
"I told him I was in (Wisconsin.) He said he was out in California raising money," Santorum said. "I said leave a little bit for me. … We've always had cordial conversations."

Mitt Romney Wins Big in Illinois GOP Primary
Mitt Romney wins the GOP primary in Illinois by what is appearing to be a substantial margin over Rick Santorum.
Romney wins big in Illinois
With 27% of the vote counted … the race has been called for Mitt Romney who has 54%, Santorum 30%, Paul 9% and Gingrich last with 7%. Romney was leading in the polls by 10% prior to today's primary; however, it appears that the margin of victory may be much larger than that. Romney routs Santorum in the industrial state of Illinois.
Front-runner Mitt Romney won the Illinois primary with ease Tuesday night, defeating Rick Santorum in yet another industrial state showdown and padding his already-formidable delegate lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Romney triumphed after benefitting from a crushing advantage in the television advertising wars, and as his chief rival struggled to overcome self-imposed political wounds in the marathon race to pick an opponent to Democratic President Barack Obama.
The Politico ponders what will a double digit win by Romney in Illinois mean for the GOP primary races to come?
The size of Romney's victory margin will likely determine how the Illinois vote affects the larger GOP race. Should Romney claim a double-digit victory, it could prompt national Republicans to try more aggressively to conclude an already drawn-out primary season.
A narrower victory would leave Romney in much the same place where he was yesterday: with an unshaken lead in delegates and money, but still bogged down in a trench-war campaign against rivals who simply refuse to quit.
Maybe the comment made by Santorum thatt he doesn't care about the unemployment rate affected last minute voters? Where he meant to say it or not, they fact he did say it and ignorantly so … maybe Rick is not ready for prime time.

Mitt Romney Wins Puerto Rico Primary
Romney wins big in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico …
CNN is calling the Puerto Rico primary for Mitt Romney. It appears that Romney will win an overwhelming victory over Santorum. With 11% of the vote counted, Romney had 82% of the vote. 20 delegates are up for grabs and because the Romney's victory appears to be so convincing, Romney will claim all 20 delegates.
Mitt Romney will win Sunday's Republican presidential primary in Puerto Rico, CNN projects, based on vote results obtained from local party and election officials.
At 6:50 p.m. ET, with about 11% of total ballots accounted for, the former Massachusetts governor had a substantial lead with more than 11,500 votes — or 82% of the votes.
Rick Santorum was a distant second, at 9% with more than 1,200 votes.
See the vote totals HERE. With 18% of the vote in, Romney 83%, Santorum 8%, Gingrich 3% and Paul 1%.

Larry Sabato Looks Into his Crystal Ball and Predicts Mitt Romney Will Dominate GOP Primaries Through April
Larry J. Sabato looks into his political Crystal Ball and says that Mitt Romney will dominate the GOP Presidential primaries through April. Last Tuesday's "Southern Primary" where Santorum won in Mississippi and Alabama really did not change much of anything. At the evening's end, with Romney's victory in Hawaii, he wound up winning the most delegates and that is what the game is all about. However, according to Sabato look for Romney to increase his delegate lead in the up coming months.
Credit: Sabato's Crystal Ball
That's because their front-running rival, Mitt Romney, appears poised to further pad his lead in delegates in upcoming Republican nomination contests, starting with Illinois next Tuesday and through a northeastern primary day on April 24.
From now until the end of April, we expect Romney to win not only the majority of nominating contests, but also the majority of delegates awarded in these contests.
It's fair to ask how Romney's position can be so strong after finishing third in the two major primaries held on Tuesday, Alabama and Mississippi. The most important thing anyone can do on any primary night is to remember the calendar — not the primary schedule but the general election date. The two Deep South primaries appear critical, yet they will be long forgotten by Labor Day, much less Nov. 6. Barring a massive, difficult to fathom shift in this contest, Mitt Romney has a better than 80% chance to be the GOP nominee. No amount of wild tapping on CNN's magic wall will alter those odds.
Currently as per RCP, Mitt Romney has 496 delegate and Santorum 236. Romney needs 648 more delegates to gain the nomination while Santorum needs 908. Obviously Romney has an easier path to the nomination. However, at this point the only reason why Santorum and Gingrich as remaining in the race is to gain as many delegates as they can under the premise that a delegate gained is one that Romney cannot. The March goes on to the GOP nomination …

Rick Santorum Did it Again … Wins in Alabama & Mississippi Primaries and Mitt Romney in Hawaii Caucuses
Deep South Tuesday primaries and Hawaii Caucuses …
It was close; however, in the end Rick Santorum wins in the Deep South Alabama and Mississippi primaries.In Alabama it was a virtual tie among Santorum, Gingrich and Romney with the GOP Presidential hopefuls gaining 32.9%, 31.3% and 30.3% respectively. Santorum won in Mississippi with 34.5%, Gingrich 29.3% and Romney with 29.0% .
The triumphs by Mr. Santorum elevated and strengthened his candidacy as the Republican campaign rolls ahead into a state-by-state battle for delegates. An aggressive push by Mr. Romney to try and capitalize on the divided conservative electorate failed to take hold, and he finished third in both states.
"We did it again," Mr. Santorum said, addressing jubilant supporters in Louisiana, which holds its Republican primary next week. "The time is now for conservatives to pull together."
In Hawaii, Romney won easily with 45.4% of the vote, Santorum a distant second with 25.3%, Paul with 18.3% and Gingrich last with 11%. At the evenings end, Romny will most likely wind up winning the most delegates when they are proportionally distributed in Alabama, Mississippi and Hawaii.
With Gingrich losing Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi to Santorum, one does have to question whether Newt really is the 'Southern" candidate. Although, I do not believe in candidates telling others to get out of the race to make it easier for themselves, at some point Newt Gingrich is going to have to read the tea leaves and admit that the voters believe that Santorun is the stronger Conservative GOP candidate.It probably is time for Gingrich to be a statesman and gracefully bow out of the race.
"We did it again," Mr. Santorum told supporters in Louisiana on Tuesday night. He added: "Ordinary folks can defy the odds, day in, day out."
The results cast a shadow on the candidacy of Newt Gingrich, who was banking on a sweep of the Deep South to carry him to the nomination. He squeaked into a second-place finish in both states, ahead of Mr. Romney—and vowing to stay in the race.
"Newt has given it a great run, but Santorum has earned a mano-a-mano shot at Romney," said Keith Appell, a Republican strategist who has worked for a long list of conservative candidates.

Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) Simulator
The Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) Simulator was developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to study the performance of the PNNI routing protocols in a multi-node network environment.
The PNNI simulator is written in C. The code consists of two parts: the user interface and the PNNI routing protocols. The user interface allows the user to enter various physical network topologies and PNNI parameters. Some of the network topology parameters are number of PNNI ATM switches, number of physical links and their delay. Some of the PNNI parameters are the peer group, peer group leadership priority, timer values, and higher level peer groups. The PNNI routing protocols perform the necessary functions of the individual protocols as specified in the ATM Forum's Private Network-Network Interface Specification Version 1.0.
The results for any particular simulation run provides the time and data required to reach a stable state for the given network topology. The output may also provide the amount of data required to maintain this stable state. By studying multiple simualtion runs by varying the PNNI routing parameters, one can determine an optimal configuration for a given network topology.

Art Bubble Also Cracking As 21 Of 71 Works Fail To Sell At Latest Sotheby's Auction
With the Biotech bubble busted and social media stocks slaughtered, it seems disappointment is spreading for the world's wealthy living off the fat of the Fed. As NY Times reports, on Wednesday, many in the art world converged upon Sotheby's for the sales of Impressionist and modern art... but nearly a third of the art went unsold. The mediocre results followed an unexciting night at Christie's on Tuesday and suggest that yet another central-bank-fueled excess-money-has-to-spill-out-of-our-silk-lined-pockets-somewhere trickle-down bubble is bursting. With Chinese property prices tumbling and PBOC cracking down on Macau money-laundering, it is perhaps no surprise that what demand Sotheby's saw was Asia buyers.
Asian buyers were by far the most active shoppers, bidding consistently by telephone through the auction house's representatives throughout the evening. According to officials there, Asian bidders managed to snap up $63.9 million worth of art, or roughly one-third of the evening's $219 million total. Sotheby's had estimated the sale would bring in $218.1 million to $317.9 million. The auction house offered 71 works, and of those, 21 failed to sell.
The mediocre results followed an unexciting night at Christie's on Tuesday. That auction house managed to sell $285.9 million, above its low estimate of $244.5 million but not close to its high of $360.4 million.
Picasso's "Femme dans un rocking chair," from 1956 — was back on the block, but this time at Sotheby's. In November, Christie's had hoped it would sell for $8 million to $12 million... It sold for $6.3 million. Lulu Creel, who runs Sotheby's in Mexico, took the winning bid on behalf of a client bidding by telephone.
We assume that all the excess cash is being used up for margin calls on TSLA, NFLX, TWTR, and FB "wealth" creations...

W. had 21 of his pieces at the auction?
Modern art is UGLY.
Tom Wolfe wrote a nice little book on the great art scam, called The Painted Word.
As a general rule I would have to agree with you, CH1. + 1
Impressionist paintings are over rated and in abundant supply. They are selling paintings noboy recognizes painted by artists nobody has heard of for sums of money nobody can imagine. This bubble will burst. BTW-In "The Death of Money" Rickards supports investment grade art. I am a fan of Jim and maybe he's right, but this one doesn't smell right to me. I put that and the SDRs in my doubtful folder.
Next to go are high end condos in Miami and West Palm......
Ritz Carlton just sold their last ultra high end units on Singer Island.$5m PoS's.
you had to read tom wolfe to learn that art is only worth what people pay for it? and that if you're filthy rich, money is confetti ?
hm. seems like you got scammed out of a few hours of time reading a dumb fuck book with an expert convincing you you need to read his 'opinion' to observe the fucking obvious.
fuck tom wolfe.
How many more warning signs do you need that this shit is starting to unravel. Almost every bubble on the globe is starting to pop, from housing / real estate to Chinese coal plants, it starting to get real, and fast !
Long: Lead, food, silver and gold, In that order !
The high end art market has historically been a pretty good precursor of things to come.
As have been bling like collectable autos, etc.... particularly witin the aytos, stuff like 60s muscle cars
Rich guys "toys"
I might add having some CA$H in the house as well, good in a deflation.
I think we should do an Art Bailout. The Fed should issue some new bonds, buy the artwork and put it on it's balance sheets. Once the art market recovers it can sell these artworks...and $4 trillion in real estate back into the market. Problem solved. Economic world saved.
Calling Yellen and the Federal Reserve Banksters to get to work (senator Chuick Shumer) and print! Keep printing until you make like Zimbabwe.
This is quite common actually.......
my mona lisa is not for sale at any price!
How many retarded customs agents know the value of art? Nill.
Long term...it is not a bad way to move around a bit of wealth.
Could be other stuff too...an authenticated Lincoln letter...Kennedy signed docs.....Marilyn Monroe's pubes.
I think I'll start a KickStarter with the goal of buying Ms. Monroe's pubes and getting her cloned. Then I'll ask her if she really did kill herself or maybe have Geraldo ask her a series of questions on Fox, live.
Why wait that long? Just go to Vegas and ask them to make into a holograph like they did with Mr Jackson.

Anyone Who Says 'This Time Is Different' Is Usually Wrong (David Leonhardt)
Stocks have only seen these kinds of valuations two other times: in the run-up to the 1929 crash, and before the 2007 crash. Some say this time is different. And it's unlikely we'll see a comparable reckoning to those two moments. But the odds that we'll emerge totally unscathed seem unlikely. "You can always think of reasons of why now is different," Yale Nobel laureate Robert Shiller tells the New York Times' David Leonhardt, who also quotes this from Harvard's John Campbell: "One should be skeptical of 'This time is different' arguments."
Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/financial-advisor-insights-may-8-2014-5#ixzz31AvMNpOy
but if no one is saying this time is different. then it is. because every time , there is always someone saying this time is different.
so if this time cannot be different, why waste your breath trying make it different by convincing everyone that it's not?
have i confused you yet? because everything i said is logically consistent in order to ask you a question . which is this; who cares?
if you know this time isn't different. who are you saving by shouting this out on the internet?
Not good. The "Smart Money" is now buying guns, ammo, tinned food and reinforced concrete.
Must be close.
"particularly witin the aytos, stuff like 60s muscle cars Rich guys "toys"
Rich guy toys? More like pathetic old man toys. They buy some car they had when they were 20 and say "This is the car I had when I was 20. I had my whole life ahead of me. So much hope. Back when I was still happy."
Every car comes with a free revolver in the glove box so you can off yourself after crying about your failed marriage.
They all went on hunt for Canadian real estate. They wanna get some before they are priced out forever.
Peak Artsy-fartsy. Is Steve going get his loan?
moar proof that an excess of clownbux does not mitigate poor taste
If a sale of Chinese high-end contempo/20th Century only sells 21 of 71 lots,then I would be more inclined to think burst bubble. Auctions of western artists took a backseat to the Chinese a long time ago.
The Chinese buyers are notoriously ethnocentric and have been very very slow too warm up to owning Western stuff. Much slower than the Japanese 25 years ago.
Chinese contemporary art has been hot for half a decade and continues to be.
Sotheby's and Christie's apparently think they can fool Indian and Chinese buyers with overly optimistic estimates on mediocre work by Picasso, Matisse, Monet etc.
I obtained a partial list of the art works that didn't sell. They include:
"Turd in a Punch Bowl"
"Cat Litter on Hardwood"
"Tampon and the Holy Temple"
"An Artist's Self Portrait in Urine"
"Guacamole Noir"
Sotheby's and Christie's evening Impressionist and Modern sales had few stellar pieces. These few sold at the high end or above estimates. Those that did not meet their reserve prices should not have. Ten years ago many of these pieces would have been in the day sale. The sale is only as good as the offerings.
Ah, screw that! The Van Gogh is going right back over the mini-bar...
Art is now only about money.....it has nothing to do with art.......
so when it doesn't sell for what some expert thought it should go for....
we all feel terrible for the seller......it is so unfair.....
Shit on a Shingle
Now that's Art!
I am surprised that they were not any Corots on sale at these auctions.
Back in 1953, ARTnews reported on the French saying that "Corot painted 2,000 canvases, 5,000 of which are in America." While this is an obvious exaggeration, it is well known that—as the world's leading Corot scholar, Martin Dieterle, puts it—Corot "has the distinction of being the most frequently forged painter in history."
Well known in the art world is that forgeries are often more valuable than the originals.

Commerce in the Community: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren on Public Service and Expanding Opportunity in Her City
Ed. Note: This post is part of the Commerce in the Community series highlighting the work of community leaders and organizations that are strengthening the middle class and providing ladders of opportunity for all Americans.
Below is an interview with Rochester, New York Mayor Lovely Warren. A Rochester native, Mayor Warren served as President of the Rochester City Council prior to the start of her first term as Mayor in 2014. This interview is part of the Commerce Department's participation in Public Service Recognition Week.
Q1: What inspired you to pursue public service?
When I was in college, I never saw myself pursuing a career in public service. In fact, I had a lifelong desire to become a prosecutor. When I was 7 years old, my grandfather was shot while working security at a local grocery chain. He almost died, but thankfully he pulled through. From that moment on, I pursued a dream of becoming a prosecutor so I could bring people, like the man who shot my grandfather, to justice.
After college I went to law school and was still hoping to become a prosecutor. But fate had other plans for me. I took an internship with New York State Assemblyman David Gantt, and my life was forever changed. Working for Assemblyman Gantt, I got my first introduction to the world of public service. Not only did I see how laws are actually created and executed on the state level, but I also got to see how elected officials help their constituents. People would call Assemblyman Gantt's office when they were out of options, and we were their last hope. I helped people who were about to lose their homes due to foreclosure, people who needed guidance on how to navigate the legal system, people who wanted to start a business, and people who were being taken advantage of by slumlords. I was amazed at the incredible diversity of issues that are brought to elected officials. But more importantly, I was impressed by the incredible potential elected officials have to positively impact the lives of so many people, particularly the poorest citizens, who often don't have access to the knowledge and resources that more affluent citizens may enjoy.
That is still what motivates me to get up and go to work every morning; the opportunity to positively impact the lives of city residents.
Q2: As Mayor of Rochester, what are your key priorities for expanding economic opportunity?

The Suns only have performed better than two other teams in the West and would have four teams to hurdle to get into the playoffs, even though they have shown little ability for sustained success with one three-game win streak.
That left Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver and All-Star Steve Nash to commiserate on a charter flight home from Orlando about their shared disappointment in the season's first half and their remaining optimism for the second half. Given the team's talent level and the lack of playoff expectations for it even before the season, the standing is not surprising to most.
Statistically, the Suns should be on the fringe of the race to be among eight playoff teams. Phoenix ranks eighth in the West in defensive field goal percentage and ninth in offensive field goal percentage. However, only Golden State rebounds worse in the West than Phoenix.
"I'm disappointed," Sarver said. "I think we haven't performed up to the level of our potential. If we want to be a playoff team, we have to make up ground and definitely hold the fort better (at home). I think we can make up the ground but we've got to start winning more at home.
"I think we're potentially a playoff team but we're going to have to show it."
The Suns (14-20) return to the practice court Tuesday with a favorable schedule coming out of the break. It is a hectic month with 17 games over four weeks starting Thursday but the slate begins with seven of the first eight games at home in March.
The Suns went into the break miserably, losing a chance at momentum with a home defeat to Golden State. Nash said the All-Star break was good timing to put the loss that enraged Coach Alvin Gentry behind them and regroup with two days of practice.
"We've got to find a way to believe and fight for it and see what happens," Nash said. "You never know if we got on a five-, six-, seven-, who knows, 10-game winning streak, what it does to your chances. I don't know if we're good enough to do that but we're good enough to win some of these games we've lost. And if we do that, you never know when you'll get a little break or a nice bounce and you put yourself in the playoffs."
The low expectations and 7-9 home record have combined to drop the Suns attendance to an average of 15,299 fans per game, ranking 20th in the NBA. It has not helped that the compacted schedule left Miami, Orlando, Chicago, New York and Boston off the Suns' home slate.
"We could use a couple thousand more people in the arena," Sarver said. "It helps encourage the players and helps the home-court advantage. But winning at home helps to encourage fans to come out."

Adam aims for more goals
Charlie Adam is hoping to score more goals for Stoke City before the end of the Premier League season.
The midfielder netted the winner in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Norwich City as Tony Pulis' side took a step closer to top-flight survival. It was only the Scotland international's third of the season, and his first since November, as Stoke reached the 40-point mark for the campaign.
"Peter [Crouch] did ever so well and Cameron Jerome did well to protect the ball from the defender," he said.
"I managed to nip in, get a header and then a strike at goal. Hopefully that's the first of many goals, we've got three games to go and it would be nice if I could add a couple of goals between now and the end of the season and a couple of victories would be even better
"We've been creating chances and it was only a matter of time before they went in. They've gone in for us in the last few games.
The win saw Stoke climb to 12th in the table, eight points clear of Wigan in 18th and Adam is hoping to take a maximum haul from their remaining fixtures.
"There are three games to go and nine points to play for," he added.
"It's going to be tough but we're looking forward to it and hopefully we can win every game. Whatever happens in the next three games could carry on to next season.
"This is a difficult league and we're pleased with six points from the last two games.
"A couple of weeks ago, it wasn't looking too good for us, but we're back in the mix again and looking forward to the rest of the season."

The idea came from hearing about people who were kidnapped by Colombia's guerrilla and criminal groups. The biggest problem these people faced was being bored. They sat out in the jungle for long spans of time, and weren't allowed to do much of anything.
I've heard stories from people in solitary confinement, that it's similar. That keeping yourself sane and occupied is one of the hardest things to do.
I'm strongly motivated by boredom, so these stories resonate with me, as a personal dystopic myth.
My reaction to this is to use tattoos as a possible way to alleviate the hypothesized problem. When incarcerated, you would be removed of all posessions, but wouldn't be stripped of tattoos.
So, you would tattoo some sort of puzzle. Something whose description is short, but whose completion would take a large amount of time.
Ciphers are one example, if only because they're intrinsicly designed to be easy to create and hard to solve.

Last November, top executives at accounting giant Ernst & Young met with a select group of employees from across the country to get new ideas on ways to foster inclusiveness and fairness in the workplace.
The response from the workers was unanimous: Join the growing rank of employers that are reimbursing gay and lesbian employees for the additional taxes they incur for their same-sex domestic partnership health care benefits.
Action proved swift. Just two months later, New York-based Ernst & Young announced it would reimburse eligible employees for the tax burden—on average $1,100 per employee annually—starting this tax year. The move made Ernst & Young the first of the Big 4 accounting firms to offer the benefit to employees with same-sex domestic partners.
"It's a great perk to start 2012 with, to see that financial burden disappear," says Bryan Parsons, 36, an associate director for quality and risk management at Ernst & Young who is based in San Francisco. Parsons' domestic partner of two years, a commercial photographer, is on Parsons' health plan.
The issue has existed for years. Married couples don't pay taxes on employer-based health insurance benefits but domestic partners do. Domestic partners pay a federal tax as well as taxes in certain states.
Today, 32 for-profit employers nationwide offer this benefit, known as "gross up," according to the Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy group. That's compared with just 12 companies known to pick up the tax payment at the end of 2010, according to the group.
In June 2010, Google Inc. announced it would offer the gross-up benefit to employees with same-sex domestic partners. Most companies don't extend the perk to opposite-sex domestic partners because they have the choice to marry, thereby avoiding the tax.
"It certainly caught on with the Google announcement," says Deena Fidas, deputy director of the workplace project at the Human Rights Campaign. "It started to really kick this into high gear."
Other employers now offering gross ups include Apple Inc., Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., Facebook Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
The cost to employers depends on the number of workers who carry health benefits to their same-sex domestic partners and state tax laws. Ernst & Young is one of the few companies that will reimburse employees for state taxes as well as the federal tax, Fidas says.
The federal tax on domestic partner health benefits was slated to be eliminated via the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, but the provision was taken out before the bill reached President Barack Obama's desk. Today, 80 companies have signed onto a coalition calling on Congress to eliminate the tax, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
Karyn Twaronite, Americas inclusiveness officer at Ernst & Young, describes the firm's new policy on the matter as "beyond fairness." She says it's unknown how much the gross up will cost the company because the number of domestic partners receiving health benefits is confidential.
"We can serve our clients better and impact our bottom line by attracting and retaining diverse talent," Twaronite says. "If you can leverage and maximize these differences, you can have a more robust work environment."
Because the change starts with the 2012 tax year, Parsons will pay the federal tax on his partner's benefits this April. It will be their first year paying the tax so Parsons says he is unsure what it will cost the couple. But that doesn't bother him.
The new perk is "quite a comment on the firm's commitment to inclusiveness and diversity," he says. "That speaks volumes to me as an employee."

When using XBMC 13.0 beta 2 on a MacMini running OS X 10.9.2, there is a lot of tearing in any video I play. It looks a lot like the vsync isn't actually enabled, even if the settings says so. It is very annoying. The issue wasn't present on the same machine using XBMC v12 on OS X 10.8.
I attached a debug log, and a system profile of said machine.
This problem has also been reported by other users here : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=185041. It seems like this happens on all machines using the nVidia 320m chip.

Mind adding your guisettings.xml to the ticket? In particular we're interested in the videoscreen.vsync setting.
comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by Ecco
Sure. Note that I reinstalled XBMC and deleted its settings folder (~/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC) before doing my test. So hopefully "guisettings.xml" should be the default one. Here it is anyway.
A quick grep seems to show that the value you're asking for is 3 : <vsync>3</vsync>
Changed 2 years ago by Ecco
comment:3 Changed 2 years ago by jmarshall
Ok, make sure XBMC is not loaded, change that to 2, load XBMC, and try again.
comment:4 Changed 2 years ago by Ecco
Well, very good news: that seems to have fixed it! I just watched ~10 minutes of various videos, and so far, so good.
I don't know what is the proper fix now, so if you need any more testing, just let me know.
Meanwhile, I'm posting on the forum to ask if it fixes things for other people who reported the issue.
Thanks a lot!
comment:5 Changed 2 years ago by jmarshall
Excellent - thanks for testing.
@Montellese any ideas? I have a PR switching the default to the correct value of 2 - I don't think we can do more than that (I assume that the setting is validated then dropped to the minimum on load when it's set to 3)?

- Cc Montellese added
comment:7 Changed 2 years ago by Montellese
@jmarshall: I have no clue about how the vsync setting is interpreted. It defaults to 3 but e.g. on win32 it defaults to 2. I'm sure there is someone else who can elaborate on which default makes most sense for which platform and then we can overwrite the default on a per-platform basis.
But remember that changing the default value in the settings XML doesn't change the value of the setting in an existing installation because we can't know if the currently stored value has been manually set by the user or is still the default value.

I have been looking at getting a hosted Zimbra account to do the following:
I have four main POP accounts, a personal one, a work one, and two which cover my hobbies. What I would like to be able to do, is have all these accounts go into one inbox and automatically sort into folders.
I currently have this setup in Thunderbird on my machine. Unfortunatly its not easy for me to replicate this on my two laptops.
I would like to be able to open the email client on any of my PC's, or visit webmail, and see everything the same - and also keep my identity for each different address seperate.
Is this possible with Zimbra? (I am happy to use Zimbra Desktop as a replacement for Thunderbird if needed?)
Thanks in advance,

Bank Robbery at Wells Fargo

Insiders say Roche, senior chairman of the $318 million firm, snatched the assignment away from front-runner Charles Tribbett III, head of the diversity practice at Russell Reynolds.
"I heard that the (Disney) board offered Gerry 45 minutes to do a presentation, and supposedly he said he only needed 15," says Scott Scanlon, chairman and CEO of Hunt-Scanlon, an industry market research firm.
Roche won't discuss the Disney assignment, but his past work might point to how he intends to find candidates to succeed Michael Eisner, who plans to step down when his contract expires in September 2006.
In what Scanlon called a "brilliant headhunter move," Roche deftly orchestrated the placement of two big-company CEOs in 2000.
His clients: Home Depot and 3M. The candidates: two of the three men who were being groomed to succeed Jack Welch at General Electric. Roche says he was in touch with the GE candidates, and all he had to do was wait for GE to tap Welch's successor. As soon as it did, choosing Jeffrey Immelt as GE's chairman and CEO, Roche swooped in and plucked Robert Nardelli to become Home Depot's president and CEO and W. James McNerney Jr. to be CEO at 3M.
Perhaps Roche's pick will be a cross-industry or cross-functional placement such as these. It is a style Roche has mastered, experts say, pointing to his placement of Pepsico president and marketing guru John Sculley at Apple Computer in 1983.
Roche, who has been in the recruiting business for more than 40 years and whose peers named him "Headhunter of the Century" in a 2000 poll conducted by Hunt-Scanlon, is said to have placed more CEOs than any other recruiter.
"Heidrick delivers quality candidates," says recruiter Kevin Berchelmann of Triangle Performance in Bellaire, Texas. "You could mix (the candidate names) all up in a bucket and pick any of them. They are going to be dead-on."
Roche, who has personally placed CEOs at the Gap, IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers, discloses his technique for finding the best candidate: "The secret is putting the client, the candidate and the whole process ahead of yourself."
How well Roche does will be determined in part by the change in Disney's stock price the day a successor is named, which should be by June, Disney reports.

My Meade LX80 journey of discovery ;)
Posted 20 June 2012 - 05:19 PM
Anyway... This post will be my initial impressions on the mount as well as the initial test we ran. I will follow up with photos (and if possible a movie of it in action as well as it and my CGEM for reference) as soon as I have a chance. I doubt I will be able to get too many for the next two days thanks to work getting in the way (I *HATE* it when that happens!) but plan to put it through it's paces this weekend.
Speaking of which if anyone is in the Los Angeles or surrounding area's, is good or at least proficient at AP under light polluted skies and would be willing to meet me and use their AP Fu on my mount I would like to put it through it's EQ/AP chops but don't think I have the skill yet to do so. So... Please PM me if you are interested.
He and I were both interested to see the bloody thing so he cracked it open for me. Sorry no photos. It's been done though so I will spare you the standard opening the box sequence. My first thoughts... Good Engineering. And for the record for me that is high praise where as Bad Engineering is one of the most insulting things I can say.
The mount is very ergonomic and compact with far less moving and movable parts when compared to the CGEM. With the handles it actually felt lighter than the CGEM (It is 5 lbs lighter per published specs) and much easier to move around. From the tripod on up the unit is very solidly built with an eye to ergonomics and good engineering practices. I say an eye to because there are some things that are needlessly complex and typical (myself included) of an Engineer going "Hey! Wouldn't it be really cool if we...!" Instead of saying "Hey! Wouldn't it be best if we made this a simple as possible!?!" Specifically moving it from Alt/Az to Eq and back. You must use a hex tool, either the one included or a substitute, to do this. The tool fits nicely in its own spot on the mount (but should have been attached by some means to the mount instead of screwing in and out where it can get lost) and all but this function could have been accomplished in a much simpler fashion with a knob like on the CGEM. Making the weight bar not standard size was also a no no in my book. You are going to need 1" plus sized weight holes for this. The other that stands out the declination clutch serves a dual purpose of being where you screw in the counter weight bar so you are screwing in the weight bar forever and at first I thought there was a problem because I kept turning and turning without it stopping plus the place it screwed into also tightened and loosened further confusing the issue.
The tripod is built like a tank compared to the CGEM and almost twice as heavy but I am hoping that means better stability. The weight bar coming apart is nice and the ability to mount dual OTA's but said mounting has me worried. Specifically if I need to mount weight on it plus the other OTA. Not sure of this yet because I haven't RTFM. I know I know shame on me. But hey I am a guy... its what we do. What worries me is the weight will have to be higher up on the bar then the OTA and if that weight goes sliding down then its going to hit the additional OTA mount plate which may end up with the additional OTA getting the bad end of that deal. Not sure yet and hope they didn't do that. If they did then it would be a case of Bad Engineering for sure.
Also in it's favor are that it very clearly marks what needs to point where for what function and three attachment knobs to mount the mount to the tripod for a bit higher level of stability instead of the central pole like on the CGEM. One of my pet peeves on the CGEM is that the EP holder and tripod stabilizer are on the same bolt. Why? Not simple and turning it the wrong way can mean you are loosening the mount from the tripod instead of the EP holder.
I did an initial setup with the mount in EQ position and the hand controller set for Alt/Az which put the theoretical OTA upside down and pointing the wrong way for the star it was syncing to which was a moment of concern but a factory reset and restore to Alt/Az as well as putting the mount in the right direction for North, setting it for Alt/Az and changing the location from Alameda to my local zip had it close to pointing the right way. On reflection my location was over one degree (47 miles) of Lat/Lon to the North and West of where I had the mount set for which would probably account for why it wasn't closer to where it was supposed to be.
Last observation for now is that it is quieter and smoother in terms of motor movement/noise than the CGEM but that was unloaded. Loaded up may be a different animal.

Have you tried to lift up and move the assembled mount and tripod (less CW)? I'm wondering how hard it will be to hand carry the mount from a garage into a backyard. It seems like it might be a pretty hefty load. Any comments on that?
Posted 21 June 2012 - 11:03 AM
dvb- For sure not perfect but overall well engineered with only a few spots where the Meade Engineer's got a "case of the clever's" and chose the "clever" solution over the (more appropriate) "simple" one. This is balanced out by the spots in other places (like the handles and the compactness) where they had ease of use in mind.
Patrick- I will take them tonight or tomorrow night and post them for sure.
Mark- How would I record that information?
All- If there is a specific test you would like me to run, you explain it in a way that someone who's shirt sleeves are longer then their inseam (I am the first in my family to walk on my hind legs and not on my knuckles most of the time), and I can do it I will run the test and report back.

for visual you can forget about PE. It would only make a difference if it was gigantic, and even then only at really high powers. AP is a different story as the lower the better and it needs to be smooth for guiding to be able to keep up. At the new price point it is going to have some real compitition.

Impressions & thoughts starting with the bad...
It's a overly complicated $800 Alt/Az mount.
Overly complicated because in Alt/Az mode balancing the bloody thing is actually more difficult than on the CGEM. In Alt/Az the rail saddle is facing sideways which means for any OTA you are going to be supporting it all by yourself with no help from gravity. It uses a narrow and short Vixen saddle which again means you are going to be using your upper body to make sure its firmly in the saddle with no help. For those of you like me with a big OTA you better make sure you get it pressed correctly into that saddle or else you are going to have slippage because its not in right! Ok, it just occurred to me that it's about the same level of PITA as the Celestron 8SE in terms of getting it into the saddle and getting it balanced in declination.
Now add to that the fact that once you get it into the saddle and balanced in Dec you have to loosen both sets of RA knobs, pull out the hex key, release the RA clutch, dial the mount head up to 45*, and balance the ota in RA. After you have done that you have to return the head to the 0* position using the hex key, lock the RA clutch, lock the Dec clutch, tighten the RA knobs, while making sure that the Alt/Az arrow lines up with the corresponding arrow on the base of the mount and that the Dec circle is set to zero.
But wait! There's mooooree! Now you have to drop the bubble compass like you get with the LX90 into the OTA diagonal, release the Dec clutch and point the OTA to magnetic North, now relock the clutch and release the RA clutch (conveniently located on the weight bar) and rotate the OTA up and down until the bubble level says you are level, then relock the RA clutch.
And now you are ready to begin alignment.
Alignment was EXACTLY like on the LX90. Same star's same method, same degrees off, same same. So at least it's consistent. First goto alignment star was off, most likely something I did wrong, by a lot. Second one was off by a bit less but still off again most likely me not moving the entire assembly all 100 +/- lbs of it so that the arrows lined up where it was supposed to and instead just releasing the clutches and moving the OTA till it was set.
I am going to repeat that first part because it, in my mind, is important... It is EXACTLY like the LX90 in alt/az mode for alignment.
And the whole idea of it supporting a 40 lbs+ pound OTA... It supported the Celestron C11 with Vixen rail and Orion finderscope fine. The motors were not straining and they were about as loud as the LX90 and less loud than the CGEM. However... The thing would shake and vibrate like it was having a seizure! As in 1-2 seconds of shaking like a 6.5 earthquake. That saddle is way undersized for that OTA and I am going to be very surprised if we don't see reports of the same or worse from 10" Meade OTA users. My guess would be a 8" OTA is going to be max without some kind of vibration dampening pads.
And now the good...
To be fair the CGEM also dances like a jitterbug with the C11 on it so I wasn't surprised.
It is quieter and moves more smoothly than a CG5 and a CGEM. The CGEM sounds like I am moving a 155mm Howitzer or trying to take off in a Harrier Jump Jet.
The Goto and tracking accuracy were fair. After alignment Mars was almost centered in the 26mm EP as was Saturn. It went right to M13 as well and did to specification on tracking. However it seemed after slewing to get Saturn and Mars more centered in the 8.8 mm ES 82* it lost it's way and started to be off.
For giggles I parked it and it managed to put itself right back where I started. Kind of novel that. So I took a picture to show it.
Tomorrow I will test it in the dual OTA mode with the ES102. If it handles the ES 102mm refractor and the C11 then it will be worth the $800 to me because I can setup both OTA's on it and view in the 102 until the C11 cools down enough to be worth while.
I will also try Polar alignment sometime this weekend. After reading the directions it seems to be a slight variation on the All Star Polar Align used by the CGEM in that it doesn't ask you to move the mount once you have it roughly polar aligned it just asks you to center Polaris in the EP. Not sure how this is going to work out as a serious AP mount based on this but time will tell.
Here are the photos of it...

Thanks for the report. Joe
Posted 22 June 2012 - 11:14 AM
This weekend's test plan in order of priority is:
1. Dual mount the ES 102 and the C11 in alt/az
This one has me worried because the quality of the Meade weight locks aren't that great and I *REALLY* don't want that 11 lbs weight to come crashing into my ES 102!
2. Shoot video with sound of the LX80 in motion
3. Polar align
4. Confirm tracking over a 30 minute to 1 hour period
5. Power source permitting shoot video with sound of LX80 and CGEM in operation at the same time
Anyone else have something they would like me to test? Can't do PEC yet because I don't have a guider but if someone want's to loan me one...
Posted 22 June 2012 - 06:52 PM
Posted 22 June 2012 - 10:33 PM
And you will most likely need one for your 8". Sorry mate.
Posted 22 June 2012 - 10:42 PM
Can't do PEC yet because I don't have a guider but if someone want's to loan me one...
What will be of interest is a PEC off, unguided plot to show what sort of PE the mount has.
You can try PEC training if you want to,
( even do it manually with a reticle EP )
but your results will 99.993% sure be crud,
as it appears the existing PEC bug in the
preceding Audiostar firmwares is still
in the new A3S1 firmware.
( be fun to see your results if you try )
Posted 23 June 2012 - 07:56 PM
Key takeaway here however is that it is a qualified success in terms of two OTA's. The real proof in the pudding will be tonight when I set it up and try it for real.
Oh and yes I know the C11 is upside down and the mount backwards. I was trying out the optics to see if it would work as advertised not aligning and really looking...
... It performs as advertised by the way. At least in viewing a antenna 20ish miles away on a mountain.

lx80 c11 es102 left front dual mount 062312
c11 26mm ep lx80 dual mount 062312
This is badly out of focus and vibrating but you can see the tips of the towers that you will see in the ES102 shot. It is also a few arc seconds off still but that can easily be adjusted via the second saddle hex screws and manually adjusting the DEC. It really makes me hopeful this will work the way it looks like it is going to!

Posted 23 June 2012 - 08:29 PM
Also, you can just do a star trail to measure the PE. I'm sure a lot of us would very much appreciate that.
Also, please explain more about this hex bolt needed to go between EQ and Alt Az. Do you mean a locking bolt to hold it in position, like I think I saw in one of your photos, or do you mean some sort of drive screw?
Great report- keep going!
Posted 23 June 2012 - 09:32 PM
It is not in balance on the RA or DEC. It is in balance only from the standpoint that the tubes are balanced on the rail and do not tilt forward or backward.
I have it set the way it is to counter balance the weight of the C11 I will try in a bit to shorten it and balance in RA/Dec and report back.
I will also do a star trail to measure PE if you can explain to me how to do that please?

lx80 c11 es102 rear view correct balance dual mount 062312 hex tool and hex bolt
I didn't have a lot of time tonight to execute my test plans because friends and their kids were over so I ended up having an impromptu star party in the yard and the next door neighbor's daughter and son's (adult) girl friend joined us to take a look at the Moon, Mars, Saturn, and M13 instead. Still got to test the dual OTA option.
It was a qualified success. Qualified because it isn't just mount and go. Like everything so far with this mount there was some jiggery pokery that had to go on. While I did not need to shim the second OTA saddle as was reported by someone else I did have to take a hex wrench and dial in the alignment in up and down to match up with the view in the main (C11 OTA) in the end though it was a success because everything was in both scopes at the same time! A very nice feature!
So... It did as advertised. With proper adjustment before hand the two OTA's matched up the same view quite nicely. Happy camper here on that.
However I think I am doing something wrong in terms of alignment. I have north down fine and the OTA's are level but for the second time while I was aligning the alignment stars would not stay centered in the 12mm reticle EP. They would drift down and to the left or up and to the right and it was VERY noticeable and very quick to move. To the point where I had to fight to keep it in place and hit enter quickly... Am I too heavy on one side and not balanced right? Or could it be something else?
And here are shots of it in correct DEC/RA balance:
lx80 c11 es102 rear view correct balance dual mount 062312
lx80 c11 es102 correct balance point at saturn 062312
lx80 c11 es102 correct balance front 062312
Posted 24 June 2012 - 10:37 AM
Also, please explain more about this hex bolt needed to go between EQ and Alt Az. Do you mean a locking bolt to hold it in position, like I think I saw in one of your photos, or do you mean some sort of drive screw?
I believe it is a hex head tool used to move the mount in azimuth and altitude and is stored on the mount. This will be a big improvement over the way the LX55 and LX75 does it especially in elevation.
Posted 24 June 2012 - 03:46 PM
Now, for this to work, you will also want an image of a plain star field with some features you can measure relative to each other to scale your image. So, for example, you could take a picture of Epsilon Lyrae, the double double, which will produce an image you can scale with some data from somewhere like sky-map.org to get their exact measurements and count pixels to scale the image on your telescope.
This is how periodic error was measured back in the day when there were no digital detectors or computers.
if you can put a DSLR in bulb mode and use a cable release for 3 revolutions of the worm, you should be in business.
Posted 24 June 2012 - 04:46 PM
1. Dual mount the ES 102 and the C11 in alt/az - Complete/Successful
2. Shoot video with sound of the LX80 in motion - Not complete planned for 6/24 or 6/25
3. Polar align - Not complete planned for 6/30
4. Confirm tracking over a 30 minute to 1 hour period - Not complete planned for 6/24 or 6/30
5. Power source permitting shoot video with sound of LX80 and CGEM in operation at the same time - Not complete pending 2nd power source date TBD
6. Star trail for PEC calculation or use of some form of pec tool

9 thoughts on "A New Take on Artisan Bread Baking"
There are two Bosch univerals listed on Ebay at pretty good prices AT THE MOMENT. One will need a new bowl because it is broken where the doughhook/whisks connect.
Hi Paul.
That's exactly what the no knead recipe is for.
You can use SAF yeast for best results.
I love crusty white bread with large holes. The Artisan picture shown on this site is exactly what I want. Would you please post a video on making this type of bread. Also, I am strugling with yeast types and need to know a good type to start using..thank you.
As far as mixers go…a lady on a yahoo sourdough group that I'm in bought a Bosch mixer back in 71 and has been using her's regularly and it's still going strong. I've just started making bread from scratch so I haven't splurged to buy anything fancy yet but a Bosch is probably what I'll get. Right now I've been using 2 bread machines on the dough cycle to do my whole wheat and white starter dough that I have. More then likely this is very "taxing" on the motors, I just hope they last until that one day way down the road that I'm able to afford to buy a real mixer .
Aren't those great? A Breadtopia reader sent them to me.
Who carved your bread?!?! That's so LOL funny. Is it easier with a fresh or stale loaf? Any tips for those brave enough to follow in your sourdough-shod footsteps?
I don't use a mixer but I've read plenty of raging debates on the subject on the internet. The two highest rated mixers (I think) are the Bosch and the Magic Mill by Electrolux (Swedish).
Both are super high quality and expensive but should last for ages. Consequently, there aren't many people who've owned or even tried both and can offer an in depth side by side comparison. The owners are typically passionately in love with whichever they own.
I don't like Kitchen Aid as the mixing action does not simulate kneading like the above mentioned ones do. Plus kneading heavy doughs in a typical Kitchen Aid is over taxing on the motor unless you get the higher end "professional" grade models.
uhmmm, actually i was wondering what type of mixer did you use, i have been eyeing the Bosch from here and i wanted some feed back or read from others their personal experiences with the Bosch Universal Plus.
I "went one better" re NK bread, as a result of my essential laziness and urge to experiment. After my dough developed for a day I simply upended it into a greased bread pan, let it rise again, and then put it into a four-hundred degree F oven for half an hour. The crust was thinner but still crackly and chewy, and the inside had many, many holes. Sliced, it resembled an English muffin, and tasted great. None of the slices had holes large enough to allow butter and jam to fall through, but the smaller sizes held plenty.
I use an electric mixer with dough hooks to do the mixing. Again, my laziness…

Re: Focus and recompose
Are we to guess which camera you're using, or do we just assume everything on this forum is about the 6D now anyway?
If it's the 5DIII or 1DX, then you just set your AF to Servo, your AF point selection to ALL. This way you start with the AF on the center point, and the camera tracks the subject laterally as you recompose, and it will reflect this in DPP.

Summer has been busy!
We apologize for the delay since our last posting on the blog. We have been very busy since reopening in mid July. Jeremy, Jodi and Sophie have finally settled into their house in Wisconsin. They are doing well and Jeremy is managing a hotel now up in Wisconsin, and Jodi is able to work for the ranch from home and take care of Sophie, who is now 7 months! We welcome back Dan & Carrie's daughter Vicki and her husband Tony back to the ranch after being gone for two years. Vicki helps around the ranch everywhere and takes over everything Jodi was doing. Tony has taken over cooking for a few months from Randy, who is enjoying his time off from the ranch. Tony used to be a chef back in Wisconsin and we must say, the food is fantastic. We have had a great summer with new wranglers spending the summer with us before heading back to college. Jesse has even decided to take a semester off of college and stay on through the winter season! We will be posting more frequently now that everyone has settled into their new homes and taken on their new job duties. We are enjoying all the guests we've had so far and can't wait for many more to come in the upcoming months!

gallade by shadowhacker7Watch
nuf said
oh and the right arm is wrong
now, nuf said
Aah, Gallade. It took awhile to train that monster, but it paid off in the end. It was even more fun because the high attack power coupled with the eclectic variety of moves you can teach it make it an absolute monster. Now if only I can find a way to beat the advanced levels of the Battle Subway! One day, one day...
Anyway, I love this pic. I don't normally go for the rough, slashing-sketch style artwork, but it works in this case, because Gallade, being part fighting type and having a slightly aggressive nature, is given a sort of gritty look. I'm assuming it's using Leaf Blade here? And nice job on the subtle hands there. It looks like it's saying, 'C'mere. I want to play.' Nice attention to detail on the legs, body and especially the helmet, too. You've given Gallade a nice portrayal, making it look utterly fearsome. I wonder who it's going to fight?
Perhaps my one bit of criticism would be the signature on it. It just sort of takes away from the rest of the pic. I know artists like to mark their work, but it could have gone without that. Other than that, this is wonderful.
Keep up the good work. I love this! Welcome to the list.
1 Leaf Blade
2 Psycho Cut
3 Close Combat
4 Bulk Up
He looks like he's goin' psycho with psycho cutter!
I still gadda finish that one drawing you gave me, Its about half finished, lol!

My son and I read this for his book club, and then the kids had a great discussion together about the books (and even did some speed-painting). These are fun little mysteries, although my son isn't quite to the point yet where he can solve them for himself. I think we'll wait to read any other EB books until he's a bit older.
