CDM Down Under

This just in from Chris Del Moro!
Hello amigos. Here's a few words from this amazing time down under. Big thanks to all the crew from S4C for their hard work and commitment to the cause and for finishing an amazing film. Huge alohas to Honolua, Matuse, Bing, etnies and CLIF bar for allowing me to follow my dreams. Infinite gratitude
It's not rare for you to find me in these parts around this time of year. As usual, I've been blessed with torrential rains, then sunny skies, warm waters, magical times around every corner and yes good waves to boot. But this time something's different, the waves are not just good, their great! The sand at most of the point breaks is the best quality my eyes have seen in the last decade. We've been ping ponging around sand dredging points since my arrival and mixing it in with good energetic works on the earth. The catalyst for getting me over here was the first screening of Surfers For Cetaceans documentary film "Minds in The Water" at the Byron Bay community center.
The night seems dreamy in the memory bank; hundreds of amazing people came to share in the night of visual stimuli, music and veggie grinds. From what we understand it's the largest number the theatre has ever drawn, with over a hundred people turned away. That day leading into the premier was energetically high, film crew was in head down organizing mode while Dave and us soothed the nerves by playing in the sea. After a day full of tube riding, we slid amongst the large numbers and all enjoyed our first viewing of a project that's taken over 5 years to finish. The feed back to the film was very positive and we are hoping to have it showing this summer along the California coast as well as Europe for the IWC. It's always funny to see your big hairy mug blabbing away, but overall the film has evolved into a stimulating and beautiful project that will be a great educational tool for many. For more info on our proceedings please visit Surfers for Cetaceans.

All Saints Parish Prayer Shawl Ministry's
Created By:
Dona Kocylowski
Our first formation meeting for the All Saints Parish Prayer Shawl Ministry in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, was held on Wednesday, August 1, 2007. Excited and nervous about who, other than my friend and co-worker Barbara and I would be there, I arrived early. Father Don greeted me at the door of the Rectory, and led me into the kitchen.
Fr. explained that he was sorry, but he would not be able to stay to greet the group, as he had an emergency. One of our parishioners, Bernie, who had been caring for his grandchildren since their mother's death, was being placed into Hospice this evening. The grandchildren and Bernie were understandably very distraught. Father then said, "I need a Prayer Blanket now -- I'd really love to take one with me. Do you have one?"
I apologized and explained that although I had several Prayer Shawls made and with me, I hadn't made a prayer blanket yet. But, I told Father, that my friend Barbara, who should be here momentarily, may have one with her. As if on cue, Barbara entered the Rectory. After the initial introductions, I explained to Barbara that Father had an urgent need for a prayer blanket, and recounted the situation.
Thankfully, Barbara said, "Sure, I have some blankets", as she proceeded to put out two for Father to choose from. I could tell from Father's face that he was both surprised at Barbara's willingness, and was very pleased. He again asked, "Are you sure I can take one?" Barbara assured him that he could. He then asked me which one I liked best. I took a liking to a beautiful cream and tan striped one -- and so did Father. He selected the tan and cream striped blanket and left to be with Bernie and his family.
Following evening Mass on Saturday, 8/4/07, Father stopped to tell me about the events of Wednesday evening. Father said, "I went to be with the family as Bernie was being transferred from his hospital room to a room in the Hospice Unit. I didn't let on about the Prayer Blanket until we had Bernie settled into his new room. Bernie was in pain and was very restless." It was at this point that Father began to explain the Prayer Shawl Ministry and the Prayer Blanket: "that someone that taken the time to make Bernie a blanket and prayed for him, and would continue to pray for him". Father then laid the blanket over Bernie. Almost immediately, Father said, "a calmness came over him. Bernie drew the blanket to his neck and crossed his arms." Father then blessed the blanket and Bernie. At this point, Bernie told Father it was the nicest gift he ever received and pulled the blanket even tighter to him. It was then, Father said, that a tear fell upon Bernie's cheek, and within minutes Bernie was fast asleep. Father said he had never seen anything quite like it, and as Father put it, "I get goose-bumps just thinking about it". I called Barbara the next day to let her know how much the blanket meant to Father and especially Bernie. Now you might think that this is the end of the story, well' it's not.
The following Wednesday, I arrived early for our Prayer Shawl Meeting, and found Father sitting at the dining room table. Father said, "Dona, I was waiting for you....I have to tell you about Bernie". My heart sunk, as I feared the worst. Father continued, "Dona, Bernie went home". Well, I assumed that Father was nicely telling me that Bernie had died and was Home in Heaven. I began to tell Father how very sorry I was to hear that. Father said, "No, Dona, Bernie went HOME -- to his house -- he was discharged from Hospice! Don't ever doubt the power of these blankets or Shawls. God is definitely at work here. We had our first miracle!". I was amazed. Father came to our group meeting to tell the members our good news, and to explain Bernie's reaction when he received the Prayer Blanket. Again Father stressed to all, "don't ever doubt the power of prayer or the power of these prayer shawls and blankets".
Throughout August, September, October and most of November, we continued to get reports from our Eucharistic Ministers who would visit Bernie at home and take him Holy Communion. Every time they visited, Bernie had his Prayer Blanket covering him, and would explain to them again and again, that someone cared enough to make this for him. He continually expressed his appreciation for this wonderful gift.
On November 28th, 2007, Bernie lost his battle and returned to his Heavenly home. At the viewing, covering Bernie, was his Prayer Blanket!

River is "The Queen of Mischief" in Series 7
So far, we know that River Song will definitely appear in the fifth episode of Series 7, with possibly more to come. At Comic Con, Steven Moffat spoke a little about her return.
Moffat suggested that her appearance this time will be more of a one-off adventure, as they already did the "big River Song story" last year.
"She's so the queen of mischief in [Episode 5]," teased producer Caroline Skinner.
Io9 asked Moffat if there's any place left for the character to go after seeing her "birth, marriage and death," as he put it. "There's also just having River turn up and have fun on an adventure, which is fun too. She's one of the people who can draw the Doctor into a mad adventure very, very quickly and very, very easily.
"That's a different way of doing it. Sometimes you'll just see her phoning the Doctor up and saying, 'Let's go see that.' There's that part of the relationship too, which is big bonafide adventure."
So perhaps some of those gaps in her timeline will be filled in eventually.
Quizzed on whether we'll see more of River's "night journeys" with the Doctor: "I don't know if we'd be allowed to! Heaven knows, I think it's important that characters keep secrets from their writers, and the Doctor has not given us the information about what happens on those nights. He's a gentlemen. Gentlemen never tell."

Unlike most gyms, we provide individualized coaching, supervision, and motivation enabling you to work out safely at your full potential. The same CrossFit program can be used for males and females, big or small, young or old, fit or unfit, or anywhere in between simply by scaling the load and intensity to mach your fitness level and ability. Watch the video on the right side of the screen to see CrossFit in action!
2. I'm not in great shape, can I do CrossFit?
Yes! The beauty of the programming is that each workout can be scaled so that it can be successfully completed by anyone, regardless of your gender, age, or current fitness ability. Our coaches will help you find the right movements that are challenging yet achievable to allow you to get through a productive workout and see fitness gains. We've had everyone from 67-year old grandmothers to very overweight individuals successfully complete our Bootcamp and they have all seen big improvements in their fitness level and physical ability.

5. Is CrossFit right for me?
Whether you are new to exercising or are a seasoned athlete, CrossFit will get you fitter, faster, and leaner. CrossFit is a good fit for someone who meets the following description:
- Wants to get in shape but doesn't enjoy going to a typical gym
- Has tried machines, group classes, and quick-fix programs and is unimpressed with the results
- Has lost interest or has stopped seeing results in their current fitness program
- Is busy and thinks they don't have enough time to exercise
- Is looking to get faster and stronger in their sport
- Feels unsure about what to do when at the gym
- Would like the knowledge, motivation, and attention of a personal coach in a community-oriented training environment
- Likes a challenge and enjoys being tested mentally and physically
- Is bored with their current workout and would like to try something fun and different
If you can relate to any of points mentioned above, then come out and try a FREE WORKOUT at CrossFit London! Every workout is different, and since workouts are rarely repeated, you are less likely to lose interest or get bored with our programming as compared to doing the same circuits at the gym three days a week. Because workouts are generally kept short and intense, they are over quickly and you can be in and out of the gym in less than an hour, making CrossFit appealing for those with the busiest of schedules. The best part about CrossFit is the fact that it's really fun. Our community and trainers are welcoming, supportive, and committed to creating an environment where everyone can succeed. Most of our members will say that they look forward to coming to the gym daily, and attest that the hour they spend at CrossFit London is the best part of their entire day.
So if you're serious about seeing dramatic changes in your body composition, speed, strength, and performance, get started with CrossFit London today.
6. How much is a CrossFit London membership?
We have a variety of flexible choices that range in price, from 2x, 3x, or unlimited access per week; however, the value of a CrossFit membership cannot be determined simply by looking at a price list. Come in for a FREE WORKOUT , and leave with all of the information you need to make the right decision for your health and fitness.
7. Why does CrossFit cost more than a regular gym membership?
Simply put, because CrossFit London isn't a regular gym. The price reflects the increased value you are receiving from a membership that includes:
- well-researched programming designed to give you the fitness results you are looking for
- qualified coaching and technical feedback every single time you train at the gym
- private instruction time slots with a coach to improve your skill work
- a warm, inclusive, and fun environment where friendships are quickly formed and the incentive to get the most out of your membership remains high
Most of our athletes view their CrossFit membership as an economical way to share the benefits of a personal trainer every single time they train in a really fun team environment.
8. What are my payment options?
- Bootcamp: Cash/Credit Card in person or Credit Card Online
- Personal Training: Cash/Credit Card in person for upfront payments or Monthly Electronic Funds transfer (withdrawal directly from your bank account)
- Regular Classes: Cash/Credit Card in person for upfront payments or Monthly Electronic Funds transfer (withdrawal directly from your bank account)
- Online Store: Cash/Credit Card in person or Credit Card Online
10. What is the Bootcamp like?
The Bootcamp runs three days per week for one month, and is designed to introduce new members to the fundamental principles of CrossFit by demonstrating full-body functional movements and incorporating these new skills into a fun and challenging workout at the end of each class. Class sizes are limited to ensure personal coaching for each participant. Each Bootcamp is professionally coached and programmed to deliver maximum results, and performance is benchmarked to track changes in your fitness level from beginning to end. The CrossFit Bootcamp is also time-efficient; workouts are kept short and intense and your time at the gym takes less than one hour from start to finish. Regardless of your previous exercise background or current fitness level, the "team-like" training environment creates an atmosphere of support, motivation, and friendly competition pushing you to new levels in athletic ability.
Visit our Bootcamp page (http://www.crossfitlondon.ca/wp/getting-started/bootcamp/) under the Getting Started tab at the top to read more about it.
11. What can I do to prepare for the Bootcamp/CrossFit in general?
We've prepared a free 30-day, at-home/on your own training program to help get you ready for Bootcamp. Download your free e-book by entering your name and e-mail address into the "Starting CrossFit" box on the right side of the screen to get started today!
12. What should I bring to the Bootcamp?
When you show up for your first day of Bootcamp, it is generally advised that you wear comfortable workout clothes, keeping in mind you'll be moving around quite a bit. The first Bootcamp workout usually takes place indoors, but depending on the time of year you may want to layer with pants, shorts, a t-shirt or tank top, and a long sleeved shirt. Most people bring a small workout bag containing a water bottle, a good pair of running shoes, hair elastics/bobby pins to tie back long hair, and if you have a medical concern such as asthma, your puffer just to be safe. When you arrive, we'll supply the water, pens, workout journals, and music.
13. I'm really fit and would like to skip the Bootcamp and sign-up right away for the Regular CrossFit Classes. Is that allowed?
No. You must successfully complete our Bootcamp or finish three 1-on-1 personal training sessions with a CrossFit coach before being allowed to take part in our regular group classes.
But what if I'm really, really fit?
No means no. If you are really, really fit, our coaches will help scale up the intensity of the Bootcamp workouts to challenge you. We promise we can leave you lying on the floor, sore and gasping, even after a beginner's class.
14. How is personal training with a "coach" different from working with other trainers?
At CrossFit London, when you hire a personal trainer, you are hiring a coach. Our job is to develop a custom training plan based on your individualized needs to place you on the most direct path to achieving your health, fitness, and sport-specific goals. Our instruction focuses on movement techniques and skills, physical conditioning, and the development of healthy workout, eating habits, and self-discipline, so that after a period of time, you've got all the essential elements, experience, and confidence to do it on your own.
Motivation, measurable results, time-efficiency, safety, and accountability are only some of the many reasons why personal training with a CrossFit coach has proven to be an effective investment in your fitness. We work with athletes and non-athletes of all fitness levels and abilities; from people looking to get off the couch and get back into shape to recreational, varsity, and professional athletes looking to excel in their sport, if you're willing to work hard, our coaches are willing to help you achieve your goals!
Visit our Personal Training page (http://www.crossfitlondon.ca/wp/getting-started/personal-training/) under the Getting Started tab at the top to read more about it.
15. I'm a woman, will CrossFit make me bulky?
Due to the fact that women do not, and cannot, naturally produce as much testosterone (one of the main hormones responsible for increasing muscle size) as males do, it is impossible for a woman to gain huge amounts of muscle mass by merely touching some weights. Some female bodybuilders gain muscle because they take a lot of supplements, eat a lot of calories/weightgainers, do excessive amounts hypertrophy weight training (body building weight programs are designed for gaining bulk), and some may take steroids and other illegal substances. The movements we do and the program design is setup for athletic performance. Adding bulk generally decreases the ability to move the body quickly, and is not one of the primary goals of our program. We focus on Relative Strength which simply put means that you will be unexpectedly strong for your size, and have the ability to continue to improve in speed, endurance etc.
16. I currently train at another CrossFit gym and I want to workout at CrossFit London while I'm in town. What do I need to know?
Experienced CrossFitters are welcome to directly join the friendly and supportive atmosphere of our regular classes. Our one-time drop in rate is $20, but if you'll be visiting London for an extended period, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can arrange a discounted bulk drop-in price. Our schedule can be found here (http://www.crossfitlondon.ca/wp/about/class-schedule/), and you are welcome to train at any one of our All Levels CrossFit Classes.
17. Can I just come in and workout on my own?
Yes and No. We say NO, because our group classes are structured so that athletes show up at the same time and complete the pre-programmed WOD (workout of the day) safely and efficiently. However, every Friday has been reserved as an "Open Gym" day, meaning you can show up for any of the regular class times and complete any workout you desire. This is often a great time to catch up on a missed WOD from earlier in the week, work on your weightlifting technique, or improve a new skill with the help of a CrossFit coach on the floor.
18. Where is CrossFit London located?
CrossFit London is located at 353 Bathurst St in London, approximately one kilometer down the street from Labbat's Brewery on (Horton and Richmond). Bathurst Street is located between Horton and York Street, located on the south side of the train tracks. If your coming from the north end of the city the best way to cross the tracks is at either Colborne Street or Wellington St. Visit our Contact page for a map to the gym with detailed driving directions.
19. What does your gym look like?
For any questions we weren't able to answer, please feel free to contact us (http://www.crossfitlondon.ca/wp/contact/) by calling (519) 518-3369 or e-mail email@example.com.

We're back! This week we're not doing a recipe, but we are going over how to use a valuable piece of the modern kitchen arsenal: the pressure cooker. This thing makes dry beans a real possibility, with 10 minute cooking times instead of the 1-2 hours you'd spend boiling them in a regular pot, which means you save time over cooking dry and money/space over cans!
What do you use your pressure cooker for? How do you like our new "kitchen studio"? What's next on your "I need to figure this out" list? Let us know in the comments!

Natural remedies for Menopause
Menopause help!
Menopause is the period of natural cessation of menstruation in women occurring usually between the age of 45 and 50. If menopause occurs before 45, then it is known as early menopause. In some women, the menopausal changes take place without any unpleasant symptoms. The only change is that the menstrual flow stops. We will discuss natural remedies in detail below.
Read more on herbal supplements.
Menopause symptoms -
Hot flashes, disturbed sleep, night sweats, diminished interest in sex, irritability, depression, fatigue, headache, vaginal dryness, dry skin, wrinkles, anxiety, backache, increase in palpitation, numbness etc. The above symptoms occur due to hormonal imbalance. The production of the hormones, estrogen, and progesterone gets slowed down.
Natural remedies for Menopause symptoms that are helpful -
Increase the intake of Soybeans, Garlic, Apples, Pumpkin seeds, Wheat, Beets, cabbage, Oats and Cucumber.
Mild work out and jogging is good for menopausal women.
A glass of Carrots and Beets juice is advisable once a day. Freshly prepared fruit juices are highly recommended.
Soya foods are highly recommended as they help to increase the level of Estrogen in the body.
Use of Licorice is also recommended for menopausal disorders. Helps also with high blood pressure.
Take foods rich in Vitamin E like raw sprouted seeds and milk.
Avoid sweetened beverages, oily, spicy foods.
Hot weather and warmer room temperatures may trigger a problem of hot flashes. So try to avoid them.
Smoking may increase hot flashes, hence avoid it.
Coconut water is a good source of potassium. It may help to reduce neurological problems associated with menopause.
Eating a few Sunflower seeds daily is also advisable.
Calcium deficiency occurs during menopause. Hence foods rich with Calcium and vitamin D are recommended. Sources of Calcium should include milk products, cheeses, beans etc.
Intake of Prime Rose oil is good. Take 4-5 drops of this 2 to 3 times a day.
Yoga and meditation calm one's mind and are highly recommended.
The powder mixture of Ashwagandha Bacopa Monnieri is advisable. Mix both of these in equal parts. Take 1 teaspoon powder of this mixture twice daily. It will help to calm down irritability of menopausal women. This combination has a higher efficacy to check the emotional problems associated with menopause also. Ashwagandha, Bacopa, and Jatamansi (mentioned below) are also available as combination herbal stress supplements.
Nardostachys Jatamansi (Spikenard) is effective to relieve the emotional problems occurring during menopause. The herb counteracts the effect of mental stress and anxiety disorders by its tranquillizing action. Ref: Handa SS.
Spirulina is also effective in Menopause as it contains GLA ( Gamma Linolenic Acid).
I hope the above natural remedies for Menopause should help all women. One should not worry too much about getting old or losing their beauty as this is only a natural process and one should take aging in stride. The use of certain herbal supplements can also alleviate the above situations.

RENTON — Percy Harvin was listed as a full participant in Seattle's practice Thursday, his most significant step yet toward making his Seahawks debut Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
And assuming he does play when the Seahawks and Vikings kick off at 1:25 p.m. at CenturyLink Field, he'll also begin to more clearly define the perception of Seattle's 2013 draft class.
Harvin was acquired from Minnesota for Seattle's 2013 first-round pick, as well as a 2013 seventh-rounder and a 2014 third-rounder.
"We don't want to forget that the exciting part of this draft is that we really do think that Percy Harvin is our first-round pick,'' Seattle coach Pete Carroll said on draft day.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
Rob Rang, a Senior NFL Draft Analyst for NFLDraftScout.com, says any long-term assessment of Seattle's 2013 class will unquestionably focus on Harvin.
"If I had to give their class a letter grade right now it would be an incomplete because Percy Harvin is the first-round pick, and we haven't seen him yet,'' Rang said.
Other draft analysts, though, have weighed in a little more definitively with early overviews. NFL.com's Gil Brandt, for one, recently rated Seattle as among three teams getting the least impact from their draft class.
Indeed, just one of 11 players drafted by Seattle in April has started a game this season, and that was due to injury. Right tackle Michael Bowie has filled in the past seven games for Breno Giacomini.
The Seattle brain trust's comments during the draft foreshadowed this year's rookies having a rough time getting playing time.
"We hope it's really hard …'' Carroll said. "The whole idea is to make this roster as competitive as possible.''
With a roster filled with proven players returning at virtually every position — every offensive starter returned — Seattle ended up drafting for depth and future impact. Ultimately, five members of the 2013 class made the opening-day roster — Bowie, second-round running back Christine Michael, third-round defensive tackle Jordan Hill, fifth-round tight end Luke Willson and sixth-round running back Spencer Ware. Also making the opening roster were undrafted free-agent rookies Benson Mayowa (defensive end), Alvin Bailey (offensive linemen) and John Lotulelei (linebacker, since released).
Seattle has since added two other rookies to its roster who were on the practice squads of other teams — quarterback B.J. Daniels and offensive lineman Caylin Hauptmann — to give it eight rookies on its active roster.
According to DraftMetrics.com, only Bowie has played enough snaps to be included among the top 50 rookies in playing time so far.
Willson is the only other rookie who has been a regular contributor, making 11 catches as the team's No. 2 tight end.
Hill was targeted for a spot in the team's regular rotation on the defensive line before suffering two separate biceps injuries that have held him to three games. Ware played in two games before landing on injured reserve.
Aside from Harvin, Michael could be viewed in the long-term as the other big key to the class. He was a preseason star, rushing for 201 yards in four games. Backing up Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin, though, has led to few opportunities in the regular season. Michael got his most significant action last week with 33 yards on eight attempts.
Michael understands. "It's all part of the process," he said. "You've got to learn from the guys that are in front of you.''
The Seahawks host the Vikings on Sunday and get a look at the player Minnesota drafted with the first-round pick it got from Seattle — cornerback Xavier Rhodes of Florida State, who is seventh on the team in tackles with 33.

Police: Heroin dealers arrested in Careys Camp MHP
Delaware State Police Sussex County Governor's Task Force officers arrested two men March 18 following a several month investigation into heroin dealing at Careys Camp Mobile Home Park in Millsboro.
At about 9 p.m., officers watched a transaction at a home in the 31000 block of Karen Street, said Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.
When troopers approached Jermaine E. Leatherbury, 41, of Millsboro in the driveway, Fournier said, Leatherbury threw 21 bags of suspected heroin into the air and fled on foot.
A nearby task force officer arrested Leatherbury after a brief foot chase, Fournier said.
Police also arrested Justin C. Holston, 23, of Georgetown who was sitting in a car parked in the driveway. Police found a bag of heroin weighing about .025 grams and two syringes in the car, Fournier said.
Inside Leatherbury's home, police found 241 bags of heroin totalling more than 6.55 grams, 4.9 grams of cocaine, 16.1 grams of marijuana and more than $210 in suspected drug proceeds. There were four children under the age of 18 in the home and they were turned over to a relative, Fournier said.
Leatherbury was charged with two counts of possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of heroin, tampering with physical evidence, possession of marijuana, resisting arrest, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Holston was charged with possession of heroin and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Cocaine embryofetopathy
Cocaine embryofetopathy is a group of clinical signs observed in newborns exposed in utero to cocaine, a short-acting central nervous system stimulant used as a recreational drug through inhalation of the powder or intravenous injection. Very little data exist on the extent of cocaine use by pregnant women, but a study in the United States found that nearly 3% of pregnant women use illicit drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. Cocaine use during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth, growth retardation (involving weight, length, and head circumference), and behavioural abnormalities in the offspring. Increased risk of miscarriage and fetal death was also reported. There is no agreement on whether cocaine use increases the risk of structural malformations, although several studies show a 4-fold increase in urinary tract anomalies in the offspring of cocaine-using women, and other studies show an increase in vascular disruption-type abnormalities (cranial defects including exencephaly, interparietal encephalocele, parietal bone defects; limb reduction defects; intestinal atresia, and abdominal wall defect). A possible association between prenatal exposure to cocaine and heart abnormalities has been suggested: the cardiovascular toxicity of cocaine may be increased by pregnancy. Major malformations must be searched for at level II ultrasound after prenatal exposure to cocaine.

Laser Collimators - Which one should I get? HELP!
Posted 31 March 2013 - 04:36 PM
As I said, I have two reflector telescopes:
1) Orion XT10i F4.7
2) Edmund Scientific 4", classic, reflector with a quite high F number.
I've also got a 2x barlow, and an Orion Cheshire site tube... if that matters to you.
The Orion scope will take either a 2" or 1.25" eyepiece. The Edmond scope will only take a 1.25" eyepiece, so I'm thinking that I need a 1.25" collimator. CatsEye seems out of the question, because they only sell 2" laser collimators. (If I'm reading their site correctly.) Howie Glatter sells 1.25" laser collimators, but I'm totally confused as to what I'd need to buy! (Would I need both a Blug and a TubLug? (Or does the TubLug come with the laser insert module/thing?) And then there is the Parallizer! Would I need one of those too? Really? I couldn't save that for later?)
Ugh! I'm trying not to break the bank here! It's enough to make me think that maybe a simple Deluxe Orion 1.25" collimator might be enough! (I've read that they, the collimators, don't always arrive collimiated so well. Can they be adjusted?)
Any, and all, advice is more than welcome! I'm really confused, and don't have a clue. Thank you!

Too many expensive hobbies. I think that's what the problem is.
You don't "have" to have Howie Glatter or Catseye tools but in my view, they are worth having and in the long run, they are less expensive because they last a lifetime. I bought my first laser collimator about 13 years ago, they were just hitting the market. The first one was very crude and I sent it back and bought a collimator from Howie Glatter. It's still going strong, aligned and precise. This is my thinking/experiences:
- One issue with most collimators is that the collimators themselves are not collimated, they need to be collimated when they arrive and do not stay in collimation. The test for this is to place the collimator in the focuser and rotate it while watching the spot on the mirror. If the spot is fixed, the collimator is fine. If the collimator is in need of collimation, it will make a circle.. The spec on a Howie Glatter collimator is 15 arc-seconds, that's 1mm at 45 feet.
- Another issue is durability. Howie's collimators are designed to take a beating, he aligns them, whacks them with a polyurethane block at least a dozen times and retests them. If the collimation has shifted, the collimator is not yet ready for prime time. Many collimators are not robust and shift collimation.
- Precise machining. A collimator that is a sloppy fit in the focuser makes collimation more difficult and is a potential source of error. Howie does the machining himself, his collimators are precisely machined so they fit smoothly but are not sloppy in the drawtube.
- Beam stop size. Howie's collimators produce a tight, circular beam, many less well made collimator produce a large, irregular pattern that can make aligning the secondary mirror difficult.
In the short run, a Howie Glatter collimator represents a real investment, it's real money. In the long run, it's a tool that will last a lifetime and remain accurate and durable.
There are a number of ways to collimate a Newtonian, a laser collimator is only one. If you are going to use a laser, don't cut corners.. And if you are going to use a laser to collimate a Newtonian, make sure you use Nils Olof Carlin's "Barlowed Laser" technique to adjust the primary mirror.
Posted 31 March 2013 - 08:00 PM
Ok, but what actually has to be bought from Howie Glatter? He seems to sell his lasers separately from his tubes. (I'd want one of those tubes with the diagonal screen that allows you to view the screen from the back of the scope. I think he's calling it the TubLug.)
A TubLug, by itself, isn't enough... is it?
Posted 31 March 2013 - 08:50 PM
The other quality option is this. catseye
Like Jon says buy once use it forever. I have owned others, but i will stick with my Catseye kit.
Both Jim & Howie are great guys to deal with.
Posted 02 April 2013 - 07:31 PM
To answer your question on Glatter products: you will need a laser at a minimum. The Blug and tuBlug are redundant--you'd only need one. The Blug is designed for truss-type tubes where you can see the inner end of the focuser draw tube. For your scopes with solid walls, you'd want the tuBlug that puts the target outside the scope so you can see it from the back end when you adjust the primary screws. The parallizer is an optional device that helps make sure the laser is centered in and parallel to the focuser. Some focusers are "sloppier" than others, and the laser won't be centered. Compression rings do a better job than single screws, but can still introduce an angle. The Hotech collimators (what I ended up getting because it fit by budget) have an o-ring type system on the business end to try to do the same thing. I found that my Hotech mounted in my 2"-1.25" adapter the right way was nicely centered so the dot didn't trace a circle when I spun the adapter in the focuser.
The perfect alignment part is very important when you align the secondary mirror, because an offset or angle introduced in the focuser will put your secondary off. Back before I got a laser, I found my Cheshire was off. Spinning it in the focuser caused the cross at the end to trace a circle. So I just adapted by adjusting the secondary until the circle was centered on my primary. Once the put in a Barlow to adjust the primary, the angle/offset drops out of the equation. As long as the broad circle of laser light coming out of the primary hits the center spot on your primary, the laser alignment isn't critical.
The tuBlug is just a combination Barlow and target system, albeit a well-made one. It will accept any laser of the correct size (1.25" or 2"). So you can get a less expensive laser (at the risk of having it be miscollimated itself or not as durable) and use it with a tuBlug.
I'm a frugal do-it-yourself type of guy, so I made my own version of a Blug. I found that the inside end of my focuser barrel was just over 2". So used a 2-1/8" hole saw (the kind used to drill a hole in a door for a doorknob) and cut through a 2x4. The diameter of the round scrap piece was 2" and fit perfectly in the focuser tube. I then used a 2-1/2" hole saw to cut through some thin plywood to make a 2-1/4" (or so) diameter circle. The hole saws automatically create a 1/4" pilot hole through the centers, so I lined up the holes and glued the 2 round pieces together. Then I made a paper "target" with concentric circles and glued it on the face of the plywood. Bingo: a target that fits in the inner end of my focuser drawtube. Not nearly as elegant as the Blug, and I have to walk around and look in the front end of the telescope to see the target rather than seeing it while adjusting the primary screws, but WAY less expensive. I added arrows on my paper target to help make the job easier. An arrow tells me which way to put the target in the tube (arrow points to the primary), and then the notes tell me which way to turn which screw on the primary to align everything. I can look at the target once and usually make the necessary screw turns the first time.
You might not be able to make a common target if your 2 scopes have different focuser sizes, but you could make 1 for each scope.
So, after a long-winded post, here's my recommendation. If you can afford it, get a Glatter laser and tuBlug. Problem solved. If, however, your budget is like mine, get a less expensive laser (they tend to come up used for $35-60) and use your own Barlow, and try to make your own target of some sort. (I also tried making something out of cardboard that would slip around the focuser tube rather than inside it.) You may have to fuss a little bit getting your secondary aligned perfectly if your laser is miscollimated, but once the secondary is set (and your Cheshire might do well enough here), the accuracy of the laser is less important for adjusting the primary.

At this point, I'm leaning towards getting a TuBlug, and a 650nm laser collimator from Astronomics. I sent Astronomics an email and they told me that the TuBlug comes with a barlow built into it. (That was news to me, but good news. It means I wouldn't have to "stack" the barlow I already have below the TuBlug.)

Thank you for your reply! That actually helped me a LOT!

(That was news to me, but good news. It means I wouldn't have to "stack" the barlow I already have below the TuBlug.)
You can also just use a Barlow, a paper target for the Barlow and a laser collimator. That's what we did before the Blug and the Tublug, it works just fine, it takes a bit more care...
Posted 02 April 2013 - 11:57 PM
If you buy one, you should buy the 1.25"/2" version. It will fit in all focusers.
That and the barlow attachment is all you need. You don't have to be able to see the screen from below and pay the big bucks--you can stand up to look, bend over to turn a knob and stand up to look a few times as you align the primary--it's just not that difficult.
The Blug also works from above in a full-tubed scope, and it is a little easier to see than the barlow attachment on the bottom of the laser, but you would need both sizes of blug and that gets expensive.
So a simple solution is the dual-size laser and the simple thread-on barlow attachment.
But since money is a critical factor for you, why not get a 1.25" Astrosystems Light Pipe (a combination sight tube + cheshire) for $45, which will allow you to collimate both mirrors in both scopes with one tool? You will be able to save up your pennies for a Glatter system for later.
And, you will have a tool that is used to center the secondary under the focuser, one of the steps in collimation.

So, does the bottom of the laser, with the barlow attachment, extend down into the OTA (far enough) so that you can see where the laser light (or shadow of the primary's center mark) is being cast?
It depends on the scope but I use the Self-Barlow attachment with my 10 inch F/5 GSO dob... It doesn't extend down into the OTA but I can see the face of the laser looking down from the front of the tube. I have a Blug but I almost always use the self-barlow, tube scope or truss.

I suspect I'd be able to see the face on the 2" focuser, but I have my doubts on the 1.25" one.
The advantage of going this route would be that I wouldn't have to get a compression adapter, but I'm probably going to have to get one of those anyway, for my 1.25" eyepieces.
I'll continue thinking about it, but I have a much better understanding of what each item does now. I'll probably make a decision on what to buy, in about a week.

A small clip-on dental mirror attached to the spider would allow you to see up inside the focuser if you can't see the bottom of the laser with the self-barlow attachment. Or a small hand mirror. It won't be hard to see in a 2" focuser, but I agree it might be a little tough in a 1.25" focuser, so the small mirror would be practical.
I suppose I could get the 1.25"/2" laser with a Self-Barlow attachment, and if it turns out that I can't see the face of the laser... I could make a target the way Pharquart (Brian) did.

And if you can avoid using an adapter when collimating a scope with a 2" focuser, you eliminate one possible source of laser misregistration in the focuser.

I recommend a laser for everyone with a Dobsonian. They go for about 50$

My first post - I tried the -Orion LaserMate Deluxe II Telescope Laser Collimator yesterday for the first time, my 12" XT12i mirror was 1-1/2" off center from the secondary, still have to test the results on a dark sky.

Did you first test the collimation of the laser?

Finally, a thread with some teeth in it.

As you hang around here and read the thousands of posts, you'll pick up that lasers can be very valuable for a quick alignment of your mirrors if certain things hold true:
1) The laser is, itself, collimated, i.e. that the beam is completely parallel to the mechanical structure inserted in the focuser or adapter. This is usually not the case with inexpensive lasers, but they can be easily checked by rotating them around in the focuser, securing the laser at each stop point. If the beam rotates on the primary mirror in a circle, the laser is not collimated and cannot be used for collimation until it is collimated.
2) The laser fits the focuser accurately enough to have a repeatable registration. If removing the laser, reinserting it and securing the setscrew changes the tilt of the laser beam each time, attaining collimation will be difficult. Sometime, all that's necessary is to change the adapter in the focuser (as to a Glatter Parallizer or Antares collet-style adapter).
3) the secondary mirror is centered under the focuser. This is usually done with a sight tube (which can also be used to collimate the secondary to the focuser axis) or a laser with a holographic attachment.
The simple laser by itself does not guarantee the secondary is centered and correctly rotated, however.
4) You use a barlow with the laser to collimate the primary mirror. The return beam of the laser is not accurate enough to collimate the primary unless you follow it up with a cheshire, Krupa, or autocollimator, but if used with a barlow, it is as accurate as you need to be to align the primary.
The Orion LaserMate Deluxe is made by Farpoint and is usually collimated. You should check, but it probably is on. Here are some useful links:

The TuBlug would be nice, but I think it's a luxury that I can live without, and I like the idea of being able to insert the 2" collimator directly into my 2" focuser, without any adapter.
Starman1, I noticed that you don't have them in stock. Do you have any idea when they'll be available?
Posted 05 April 2013 - 03:18 PM
I was going to see if my moon photos would come out nice and sharp as my test.
this is what I had before the laser.
Posted 05 April 2013 - 04:00 PM
1) Put the collimator into your telescope's focuser and rotate it around. If the laser light swings an arc, the collimator isn't collimated correctly.
2) The other method is harder to describe without a picture. (Unfortunately, I didn't save a picture when I saw it explained.) Take a short 2x4 and pound 4 longish and stiff nails into it. You're creating two "X" shapes with the nails. Now place your collimator, horizontally, across the top of the two "X"s. (The tops of the "X"s are in effect "V"s.) Then, aim the collimator at a wall, however far away, and rotate the collimator in the "V"s. (Do not allow the 2x4 to move while you rotate the collimator.) If the light on the wall swings an arc/circle, you need to collimate your collimator.
Don't ask me how to collimate your collimator, because I've never owned one and don't know. Hopefully somebody else can answer that question, because I'd like to know too.
Good luck!

Friday, June 8th, 1984 was quite a day. Homosexuality was decriminalized in New South Wales, Australia; an F5 tornado struck the town of Barnevald, Wisconsin, USA, destroying 90% of it; President Ronald Reagan attended a summit in London; the Celtics beat the Lakers 121-103 to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA finals; TV gameshow "Press Your Luck" paid out the biggest ever jackpot (to that point) of $110,000 to one Michael Larson who had figured out how to beat the system; and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" was poised to knock Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear It For The Boy" off the Billboard Charts number one spot. Oh, and modern classics "Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins" were both released.
Coming just the week after "Once Upon a Time in America" hit screens, while "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was still in cinemas and followed a fortnight later by both "The Karate Kid" and "Top Secret!" people of a certain age and penchant for nostalgia are tempted to look back on that year and sigh, "what a vintage summer that was!" and "they don't make summers like that anymore" etc etc. And so, intrepid reporters that we are, we decided to investigate: was the summer of "Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins" truly some sort of epochal moment, a confluence of greatness, a crossing of the streams, if you will, of film history?
Well...not so much. For every unforgettable classic, there was a stinker and for every stinker there were two middling efforts largely lost to the mists of time. But there's no doubt that summer 1984 did straddle the highs and lows of cinematic achievement in quite a spectacular manner, which made us curious to go back and look at it all all over again. So here, ranked from worst to best, in terms of which belong in the dustbin of history and which will shine on through posterity, is every major release from that summer season (defined as always as the first Friday in May through Labor Day, which in 1984 fell on September 3rd). So dust off your Slinkys, prepare for a little body popping and take our hand as we dive headfirst into the spinning 80s graphic that denotes a time tunnel, to emerge 30 years in the past, blinking into the sunshine of summer 1984.
35. "Bolero" (August 31st)
An attempt to revive the career of Bo Derek, who'd leapt to fame in 1979 as Dudley Moore's co-star in "10," as directed by her husband John Derek, "Bolero" is a dismal softcore romance, a sort of film version of a housewife paperback bonk-buster about a virginal boarding school graduate who sets out on a worldwide tour in order to find the perfect lover for her first time. Both conservative and sleazy, it was mostly notable for being released without an MPAA rating, for causing a fall-out between producers Cannon and distributors MGM, and for being absolutely fucking terrible.
34 "Cannonball Run II" (June 29th)
1981's all-star road-race pic "Cannonball Run," a Burt Reynolds-toplining blend of "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" and "Wacky Races," wasn't exactly much cop, but it proved to be an absolute bona-fide smash, the sixth biggest of its year. As such, a sequel was inevitable, but somehow director Hal Needham turned out something that made the original look like "Nashville." It's essentially a retread of the first movie, with a few more star cameos (Shirley MacLaine, Telly Savalars, Ricardo Montalban, Don Knotts, Jaws from James Bond, the monkey from "Every Which Way Is Loose"), but otherwise coming off as deeply half-assed. The film proved to be the last on-screen appearances for Dean Martin (returning from the original) and Frank Sinatra (reunited with his old pal for a cameo), and it's hard to think of a more ignoble way to end a film career.
33. "Best Defense" (July 20th)
In theory, a movie starring Dudley Moore, star of megahit "Arthur," and Eddie Murphy, who'd go on to lead 1984's biggest hit "Beverly Hills Cop," should have been massive. But instead, "Best Defense," is a dire military satire penned by George Lucas pal and "American Graffiti" co-writer Willard Huyck that sees Moore as a tank designer and Murphy as the commander of said machine during an eerily prescient war in Iraq a few years later. In fact, Murphy wasn't initially in the film: test-screenings of the Moore-only version were so disastrous that Paramount threw their new darling a truckload of cash to shoot for a few days to liven things up. It didn't work, and Murphy later dissed the film while hosting 'SNL', calling it "the worst movie in the history of everything." That's probably unfair, but not by much.
32. "C.H.U.D." (June 10th)
Does the title stand for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller" or "Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal" is just one of the many questions you won't care enough to ask of this deeply dull horror. Starring John Heard and Daniel Stern, "C.H.U.D" tells the story of a government conspiracy to bury nuke-u-lar waste beneath Manhattan, which then mutates some of the city's underground homeless population into ravenous cannibals resembling spongy knock-offs of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Which could in itself be fun, but the budget is so low here that the vast majority of the film is actually just people talking, ever-so-slowly piecing together the mystery of these terminally unfrightening monsters. In fact the film's main claim to fame now is that it was chosen by those wacky japesters at the Criterion Collection as the subject of a joke release announcement on April Fools Day, something its inexplicable "cult" following made oddly plausible. And yet not.
31. "Breakin'" (May 4th)
The other, and lesser, of 1984's two breakdancing "classics," (after "Beat Street") the ropy acting and hamfisted storytelling of "Breakin'" make any moment when the protagonists aren't dancing pretty unbearable. But the dancing is good, largely due to the presence of non-professional dancers like Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers and personalities such as Ice-T (in his debut), both of whom were imported to this narrative film directly from the German breakdancing documentary that inspired it, "Breakin' and Enterin'" (in the 80s, nothing was cooler than droppin' that last 'g'). So go for the dance-offs but be warned, the threadbare plot in which a nice white girl teams up with the street dancers and, yawn, wins their respect with her awesome moves is, in Ice-T's own words, "wack."
30. "Sheena" (August 17th)
A contest between which of "Sheena" and "Bolero" is more in thrall to the physical charms of its leading lady would be too close to call, but the also just-fucking-awful "Sheena" gets held off the very bottom spots because of some pretty Kenyan landscape photography and the occasional unintentional hilarity of its lady-Tarzan vibe. But not too far, because the bland blonde Tanya Roberts becoming Queen of a tribe of Magical Negroes is exactly as idiotic and racist as it sounds, as comic book creation Sheena, aided by her allies the animals and hunky smitten TV reporter Vic (Ted Wass) stops an evil Prince from strip-mining her tribe's land. When it's not stupid, it's boring, and when it's neither it's about as convincing as Sheena's favorite mode of transport: a zebra that is very obviously a horse that's been painted to look like a zebra.

Sykes was fantastic in 2012. It seems though that the Kawa (while super-fast) still struggles a bit with tyre wear, while Sykes has to be so physical & on the limit for the entire race. That effort & commitment along with tyre issues meant Sykes was the hardest working rider - pretty tough to compete over 2 long races with guys with better bikes (over race distance).
The bike (& TS) has the speed, but it looks like they still need to find a bit more over full race distance. looking fwd to 2013 WSBK - it could well be the best (and last??) great & competitive WSBK season.

Local leaders discuss mall's foreclosure situation
Local government officials and a representative of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce on Friday discussed the foreclosure facing the Mall at Steamtown.
State Sen. John Blake, D-22, Archbald; Lackawanna County Commissioners Corey O'Brien, Jim Wansacz and Patrick O'Malley; Scranton Mayor Bill Courtright; a representative of U.S. Sen. Bob Casey; and chamber President Robert Durkin met privately to begin an ongoing dialogue about the mall and its future.
The mall's mortgage holder filed a foreclosure action March 7 in county court against the mall's ownership group, Steamtown Mall Partners LP, setting the stage for a sheriff's sale. Department store magnate Al Boscov, who is part of the ownership group, has said he expects the mall to emerge from foreclosure in a stronger financial position.
"We met and discussed what's happened with the mall. All of us are concerned," Mr. Wansacz said. "We agreed to monitor the situation and see if there's anything we can do to help. But at the same time, there were no commitments on anything."
Mr. O'Brien said, "The meeting was to bring everybody up to speed on what we knew regarding the current state of the mall and impact on our community."
"We didn't go over detailed options," Mr. O'Brien continued. "This was more, 'Is everyone committed? Do we all agree this is an important asset?' Everyone wholeheartedly agreed that it's an important asset for our community and we are going to monitor it closely."
The commissioners have said they are keeping their options open with respect to the mall. While they have talked about bringing together a public-private partnership to address the mall's future, they have also mentioned the possibility of acquiring the property by eminent domain as a last effort to prevent the mall from standing empty.
Mr. Blake views two issues at hand: short-term, immediate stabilization of the mall, and how the mall could fit into a long-term revitalization of the downtown. Mr. Blake has pushed for Scranton's participation in the state's new urban development initiative called City Revitalization and Improvement Zone program, which would position the city to consider overhauling that part of the downtown.
Mr. Blake said there isn't much that can be done during the foreclosure. "But we want to be prepared," he said.
The group decided to meet again as events unfold, but set no date.

Daniel Waldman drank poetically during his reading. Wearing a stylish hat he actively engaged the audience. Not only did he have this stylish hat but a striped business casual shirt. Had I seen him walking down the street I might have mistaken him for an accountant or actuary. Good thing he picked poetry over the emptiness of numbers. Poetry has become business casual with Daniel Waldman's attire. As a result I may never do an ustream. This tendency for proper attire could be a 'Canadian' thing though. Once he comes back to the states that could all change.
Jennifer Chen's work got read. Apparently she writes really short bursts of poetry. The two were friends in real life. Usually people have their poetry read when they don't know of each other in reality. Normally they know of each other only through various Gmail chats or some form of internet presence (either twitter or Facebook).
A man named Ben had his website read. He writes strange notes on blogspot or perhaps they are poetry, I'm not entirely sure. I'd like to know more about him but he appears to be something of an enigmatic figure on the internet. Besides, doing a basic Google search appears to turn up nothing, due to Google's annoying habit of re-spelling.
"Come in from the Cold" by James Duncan came up. This was a twisted poem. Apparently this was about trying to enter a club house. Daniel used a good, forceful, near shouting delivery to this poem. Considering the content of this poem, the frantic delivery seemed completely appropriate.
Joy ensued with "Walnut Horse" by Danny Stewart. I liked the repetition of the single line "Don't worry Mom". Daniel appeared to be familiar with the joys of looping and allowed the distortion of the same phrase to build up the poem. After a while it sounded less like language and more like music. This was the intention.
Once someone had asked him to tell him about his childhood, we felt his true vulnerability. While he began discussing a spiral staircase he suddenly stopped. It was up to us to piece together this life story. The cliff hanger ending to the story made us wonder even more: Where did he get that hat? Did the hat's presence signify something perhaps deeper than mere style?
Keiji Haino got a request by Axem another mysterious online entity. Since Axem and Ben are mysterious online entities, it'd make sense they would be responsible for a lot of the poetry requests. For Keiji's work, there was a great deal of looping words and phrases. Daniel's delivery for repeating phrases worked.
Ryan Manning's "Cupid" was read by Daniel as he lay on his bed. By now thoroughly intoxicated and laying down he read it quickly as it was short. Mr. Butler had one of his poems read as well, but I missed part of it due to the lousy ads ruining the ustream experience. Thankfully the poetry I did hear later by Butler ended up being excellent, especially his "Zelda 64" news from 1999. It's weird that parts of the internet are so old, or how far we've come. Somehow that earlier incarnation of the internet, even with a worse interface, felt more naïve, more lovable. Perhaps someday this very site might be considered 'nostalgic' or classic'. Think GeoCities.
Due to ustream's ads I ended up missing parts of the reading. Ustream needed money. That was clear. I mean, I wasn't going to pay for it. I have no money. According to the advertisements, NBC will have a particularly crummy lineup for the next television season. Good thing I don't watch NBC or TV anymore now that the internet is infinitely entertaining.
For the end we got to watch him dance around to the same song (by Michael McDonald) he began with coming full circle. Wearing a mask, showing off his dance moves, he showed he is the embodiment of a 'joker'. I know we let evil win.

I did an install of RHEL4 Zimbra on CentOS5 yesterday.
It all went pretty well with 2 exceptions.
1.) Spell isn't working. The zmapachectl thingy. When trying to start spell the error i get is:
/opt/zimbra/httpd-2.0.54/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
2.) Split DNS needs to configured on the box. It will actually receive mail from the outside world right now, but can't deliver it to the right mailbox. I set up Split DNS on an FC4 box and installed the open source version just as a test some weeks back and that fixed the same problem.
I thought things would be pretty similar between fc4 and CentOS5 but...
On my fc4 install, the files that were mentioned in the Wiki article on split DNS were all pretty much were they were supposed to be (ok, not exactly but i don't want to relive the chroot horrors i was intro'ed to!).
I downloaded bind as it says to in the article, but the files are all located in different directories and don't look anything at all like they did on the fc4 install.
For example, on the named.conf file, on the fc4 install it was located in the /etc directory just as indicated in the Wiki. In CentOS it is located in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/.
Should I create new files in the directories indicated in the Wiki article?
I've tried a couple of things on the spell problem that I've found in the forum with no luck and am worried I might do more harm then good.
Thanks In Advance for any ideas or tips!

Thomas Mueller scored his fourth goal of the World Cup on Friday as Germany defeated the United States 1-0 to win Group G ahead of the Americans, who also advanced to the knockout stage of the World Cup despite losing.
With two wins and a draw, Germany topped the group with seven points, while the U.S. progressed with four. Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 but both were eliminated.
Mueller scored in the 55th minute with a side-footed shot from the edge of the area as tropical downpours drenched the Arena Pernambuco.
Both teams knew before kickoff that a draw would see them through, but neither held back. The game pitted Germany coach Joachim Loew against his good friend and predecessor Juergen Klinsmann, now in charge of the U.S. team.
