08th November 2016
When it comes to short and exhilarating mountain days in Snowdonia, then the ascent of Moel Siabod via the Daear Ddu Ridge has to be at the top of the list. Quiet, challenging, exciting with unbelievable views, the Black Earth Ridge is an easy grade 1 scramble that really delivers in every way. The Daear Ddu Ridge is less crowded than the popular Snowdon and Glyderau ridges, giving you the opportunity to escape the masses and enjoy a peaceful scramble on one of Snowdonia's hidden gems. The Daear Ddu Ridge, in my opinion, is the best ridge for those who want to gain some experience and tackle their first grade 1 scramble.
The Daear Ddu ridge is located on Moel Siabod's eastern side; an easy 3km walk from the small village of Pont Cyfyng near Capel Curig. The easy to follow path takes you through beautiful woodland and along the Afon Llugwy before joining a track to the remains of the Rhos Slate Quarry. The Daear Ddu Ridge comes in to view as you continue to Llyn y Foel. Avoid the bog by skirting around the lake in a clockwise direction, then make your way on to the ridge.
The Daear Ddu Ridge and Moel Siabod are surprisingly quiet. Maybe that's a good thing. When the crowds are queuing to edge along Crib Goch or clamber to the summit of Tryfan, you'll hopefully have this magnificent ridge and beautiful mountain all to yourself. And we guarantee you will be grateful for it.
Have you tackled the Daear Ddu Ridge?
We would love to hear your thoughts on this fantastic ridge. You can post comments below or add them to the Snowdon Walks Facebook Page including any pictures of the Daear Ddu Ridge.

Ameera DeLandro (ELIMINATED) – From Richmond, VA. Ameera taught herself to sing and play guitar when she was just a child. After she graduated high school, she got married and started working full-time as an insurance underwriter, but she always found time to play shows with her band on the side. Her audition song was "I'd Rather Go Blind."
Ashley Morgan – From Walnut Creek, CA. Ashley grew up in a musical family and would sing with her parents and two brothers for fun. In high school, music became her true passion, and she pursued a college degree in music business.

Her audition song was "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."
Clinton Washington – From Little Rock, AR. Always being compared to his brother, Clinton gravitated to music as something that could set him apart and give him his own identity. He started singing in his church choir, gigged around town, and grew as his music slowly became a priority. After college, Clinton took a marketing job in New York knowing that the city is a hub for musicians. His audition song was "Candle in the Wind."
Gabriel Wolfchild (ELIMINATED) – From Seattle, WA. Gabriel grew up in an artsy, free-spirited home. His mom was a belly dancer, and his dad was a sculptor and flutist. He's originally from Seattle, but when he was nine his family moved to Hawaii, where he spent most of his time writing alone. His audition song was "Don't Think Twice."
India Carney – From Brooklyn, NY. India has been studying music for most of her life. In junior high, she attended a performing arts school where she was classically trained in opera. From there, she was recruited to UCLA's classical music program, where India and some fellow classmates formed a band, which led them to a gig opening for The Roots. Her audition song was "New York State of Mind."
Jeremy Gaynor – From Tampa, FL. Jeremy grew up singing in the church choir, and right out of high school he started a contemporary gospel group with his cousin.

Katelyn Read – From Parkersburg, WV. In high school Katelyn competed in fine arts competitions and sang in choir. A passionate artist, she was pursuing a college degree in art but took time off to start a family. Now that her daughter is five years old, her supportive husband is pushing her to make her dream of becoming a professional singer a reality. Her audition song was "Breathe."
Koryn Hawthorne – From Abbeville, LA. Koryn's voice is much more mature than her age would let on. For the past nine years, she has been a member of a local singing group that performs at nursing homes, benefits and competitions. Koryn might be young, but she knows singing is what she's meant to do. Her audition song was "My Kind of Love."
Rob Taylor – From Baton Rouge, LA. Rob learned to sing at church with his grandmother. When he graduated high school, he auditioned for and was accepted to Boston's Berklee College of Music. Even though he was offered a partial scholarship, he chose to stay home and care for his ailing mother. His audition song was "I Want You."
Sonic – From Woodland, CA. When Sonic was six years old, she learned she was completely deaf in one ear. But instead of being afraid to sing, she embraced her unique sound and even landed a record deal at 14. That didn't work out, but she continued to pursue music and is currently a member of a music collective in San Francisco. Her audition song was "Money on My Mind."
Treeva Gibson – From Frederick, MD. Treeva grew up in a household with deaf parents, so she learned sign language before she could speak or sing. At age 11, she discovered she could sing, but unfortunately her parents have never heard it. A few years ago, Treeva learned that she also has mild hearing loss, but she hasn't let it get in the way of her singing. Her audition song was "Young and Beautiful."
Vance Smith – From Detroit, MI. Vance grew up listening to his dad practice with his band in the basement of their family home. The neighborhood they lived in was unsafe, so Vance spent his time at home playing music as an outlet. Eventually the family moved to Georgia, where Vance now works as a diesel mechanic. He's had some success with his music and even opened for Trey Songz. His audition song was "Reach Out I'll Be There."

Disc Golf has an early history tied to the recreational flying disc (especially as popularized by the trademarked Frisbee), and may have been invented in the early 1900s. The modern game of disc golf started in the early 1960s when it seems to have been invented in many places and by many people independently. The game is now played in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Test your technique, strategies and precision when playing disc golf. It's fun and exhilarating as team's battle against each other for the ultimate goal of sinking the disc with the lowest score. It is operated on the same basis as golf i.e. a 2 ball or a 4 ball but has slightly differing rules. The disc is aimed at the target which is mounted on a pole – some may even be lucky enough to get a hole-in-one.

The Flambards Experience
The Flambards Experience is a leading family attraction with rides for any age, family fun and entertainment in the West of the UK. Along with the best thrill rides, family shows, glorious gardens, playgrounds for children, there is the award-winning and unique exhibitions including the the Victorian Village and the Britain in the Blitz. So, bring your children to Flambards to have fun and learn country's history.
Impressive Museum & Exhibitions
The name to this theme park was given to complement the old aircraft and to recapture scenes from the television drama "Flambards".
Firstly, it was an aircraft museum without any rides. There were built old aircraft period rooms, such as a workshop, kitchen and nursery. These proved so popular that more period rooms, including a coach house and a shop – Birch, Birch and Co., Purveyors of High-Class provisions, and the Victorian Village were added.
Over the following winters, more shops and traders' premises were added and the exhibition today has almost 60 shops and homes all set in genuine cobbled streets with carriages and costumes of the period. So, step back in time and visit lamp-lit village.
Or, move forward to 1941 and experience the dangers of Britain in the Blitz, a life-size re-creation of a World War II blitzed street opened by Dame Vera Lynn in 1984.
To cater for the growing number of visitors, family rides and amusements were added, together with many more exhibitions.
Thrill and children's rides
From the thrill seekers to those who prefer a gentler pace will experience an unforgettable rides in Flambards. Choose your ride or try them all from the large drops and rapid turns on a fantastic Hornet rollercoaster to a dizzying spin on The Thunderbolt Ride. Go for an amazing view at the top of the only drop, twisting ride The SkyRaker001 before plummeting back down to earth.
For the smaller visitors of Flambards Experience there is a choice from the Classic Teacup Ride to the Space Race rides on a Space Shuttle in Ferdi Funland. The Flambards' assault course with slides, balancing beams, tunnels and zip wires will give your child indelible experience. It's a fantastic playground for children wanting to run and have fun.
Activities at the Flambards Experience
Flambards Experience offers not only unlimited rides, large scale exhibitions, play areas and scheduled entertainment, but also indoor playgrounds. So, don't worry about the weather, as it won't ruin your day out to Cornwall thanks to One2Eleven indoor playground. From air bursting ball swamps, cannon shooters, slides, tunnels, rope walkways and swings your child will be spoilt for choice. Help your kid put giant puzzles or ride along on the soft play horse carousel.
Do you want your kid to become a famous scientist? Teach him science in a fun entertainment. Flambards Experience presents Hands on Science indoor entertainment. Try to avoid lasers and become the top player at Hands on Science.
Where to eat at the Flambards Experience
Grab your picnic basket as you'll find nice picnic areas in the theme park. There is also a cafeteria, fast food restaurants and kiosks full of refreshments like ice cream.
Ticket prices
Don't overpay! The Flambards Experience offers two different types of tickets: one is for days when the rides, exhibition and events are included; the other is only for exhibition days. Rides will be closed.
So, the ticket for adult costs £17.95 for days with rides and £10.50 for exhibition visit. Children up to 15 years will pay £12.50 for rides and exhibitions and £5.95 only for exhibitions. The great news is that infants up to 95 cm and seniors over 80 years old can come for free for rides and exhibitions.
There are limited 'pay for' amusements not included in admission fee due to their having limited capacity and availability. These are: Optional prize games, coin operated amusements, aero mini golf, paint ball range, formula kart track and the Victorian audio tour.
One2eleven Indoor Play is also a separate attraction.
Highlight of the day

A new, wider (19C), lighter (1500g), tubeless model with an updated rim shape and the same hub and spokes as the last model was introduced June 1 and is just now becoming available. I hope to review it August. Availability is limited but you can get it as of August 10, 2018 in the US/CA by clicking this link to Competitive Cyclist and in UK/EU at Tredz, Tweeks.
This is a review of the previous model which I recommended as the Best Performer.
The following review is part of the post THE BEST CARBON CLINCHER WHEELS
With the Zipp 303 NSW, Zipp has outdone itself. In this case, "itself" is Zipp's 303 Firecrest which has been the all-around, carbon clincher wheelset standard others have been measured against and was the one I'd previously picked as the Best Performer.
Well, there is a new Best Performer and the 303 NSW is it.
The 303 NSW handles better, rolls better, climbs better, brakes better and deals with crosswinds better than the 303 Firecrest and every other carbon clincher wheelset I and my fellow tester Nate have ridden. It sustains your momentum like a much deeper wheelset, accelerates like a much lighter one and is stiffer and more responsive than its predecessor.
(Author drops the mike….)
Umm… (author clears throat; picks up the mike)… It costs more too. Zipp reduced the Firecrest MSRP/RRP about 25% when the NSWs were introduced and the NSWs are priced about 10% more than the Firecrests were. If I've done my math right, that puts the Firecrest now at about 2/3rd the full price of the NSW or the NSW about half again more the price of the Firecrest.
That said, the NSW (USD$3100, £2,370, €2,800) is in the same price range as the new ENVE SES 3.4, its perennial performance competitor. It is more expensive than the other all-around wheels in this review but it also performs better.
These wheels handle remarkably well, providing you precise cornering at all speeds and a "glued to the ground" feel of total confidence.
Nate described being figuratively blown away by how well the 303 NSW's crosswind performance prevented him from being literally being blown away. These 46mm deep rims seem to have the cross-section of 25mm alloys when you can feel the wind pushing your body sideways, but feel nothing torquing your handlebars. You get the sensation that your wheels are actually compensating for the wind and keeping your line straight.
The NSW line brings dry braking on par with alloy wheels and wet braking close to it. While the Firecrest braking is very good indeed, these are clearly a step forward and give you no shelter under the "alloy braking is better" excuse some use to pass on carbon wheels.
What I probably liked most of all the things I liked about these wheels is the way they roll, respond and climb. Riding a lot of different wheelsets and a lot of distance over varying terrain during the year, I've gotten quite attuned to these three, often related factors.
These 303 NSWs roll very smoothly and give you the sensation that they aren't holding you back when you freewheel. Likewise, they feel like they maintain their speed when you ease off the cranks better than other mid-depth wheels. As I often find myself working to hold on to the group I'm riding with, this saves me a bit of energy I can use when the group starts to turn the screws or when the road turns uphill.
That's where the responsiveness of these wheels makes me smile. They go when I want or need to stay with a move. They are stiff, there is no lag when I spin up my cadence and they transmit energy from my legs to the road in an uncannily quick and efficient way. I feel the same efficiency when the road pitches up and I need to get up out of the saddle or increase my power output while seated.
As the old saying goes: Oh what a feeling!
For those of you focused on specs, I measured the set I rode at 45.8 mm deep, 27.5mm wide about halfway up the brake track, and 28.5mm max width, each an average of measurements at a half-dozen points on each wheel. The front wheel's inside width averaged 17.5mm and the rear 17.2mm.
The wheelset weighs 1479g with rim tape on my scale and the skewers add another 70g. This is exactly 100 grams less than what the 303 Firecrest weighs though, from what I've read, most of the weight difference comes in the hubs. Less weight in the hubs doesn't contribute much to the improved climbing performance and overall responsiveness as much as the improved performance of the hubs them themselves. And most won't feel a 100g difference from wheelset to wheelset.
I could go on about the NSW's new hub design and rim shape, revised dimple surface, upgraded brake track with their unique names and the other cool new design aspects of these wheels, all of which likely contribute to the performance I've described above. I believe that how the wheels perform is far more important in choosing between them than their design features and prefer to spend most of my time (and yours) in reviews focused on the former than the later.
They aren't tubeless ready, which I don't think most people looking to ride a high-performance wheelset like this one will care about. (The new ENVE 3.4 are.) They do look pretty sweet to my eyes, which I think most people riding any wheelset do care about even though it doesn't make them any faster unless you ride harder because you feel good about what you are riding.
Let me try to answer (or dodge) a couple questions I'd expect I'll get if I don't. Yes, as I think I've explained, they are noticeably better than the Firecrests in most of the key performance areas. No, I can't tell you whether they are worth paying extra for than the Firecrest or the wheelset I picked as the Best Value. (That was the dodge.) It's up to each us to decide how much you are willing to pay for added performance.
Also, know that somewhere around early 2016, SRAM, Zipp's parent, instituted tighter pricing controls on their dealers where they can. Specifically, they require their dealers to sell in countries and regions near their stores. For example, US and Canadian dealers can ship to customers at US and Canadian addresses and UK and EU stores can ship to customers at UK and EU addresses but UK and EU stores can't ship to US, Canadian, Australian, Japanese and other customers who live outside of the UK and EU.
Further, MAP or minimum advertised pricing laws in the US and other countries (but not UK and EU ones) allow Zipp to set an advertised price floor for these wheels in those countries where the law applies. If an authorized dealer gets caught advertising below the MAP, Zipp can pull their distribution agreement. So much for free market competition.

Lift off old exterior window trim and flashing with a hammer claw or small crowbar. Pull nails and chip old putty to access and loosen the window and remove the window from its old frame.
Clear away any debris and remove any damaged framing materials or insulation. If old window framing is sturdy, you can build off it it. If it is shaky or poorly constructed, remove it and build an entirely new window frame for the new smaller window. Determine the dimensions of the framing required for the new window by consulting the manufacturers specifications that came with your new window.
Cut the 2x4's into framing lengths with the circular saw. Nail together and place the rough frame in the opening, checking for level and plumb. If the surrounding material is wood, nail the new rough opening frame into place. If it is masonry, drive masonry screws with a drill to secure the rough frame to the surrounding structure. Spray expanding foam insulation into any crevices and push fiberglass insulation into any larger gaps.
Install any felt, house-wrap, window flashing or other waterproofing measures around the new opening. If your window manufacturer's installation specifications call for caulking, run a bead of caulking around the rough opening now.
Place the new window in the rough frame, checking for level and using wood shims to level as needed. Secure the window flange to the rough frame with nails placed according to the manufacturer's directions.
Add new exterior finish materials to blend with the existing exterior siding and finish with the new window trim pieces. On the interior, patch any dry wall or lath and plaster around the window, trim out the new window with a wood sill and stiles and complete the job with the finish material.

Hulu has announced that it has secured the services of Elaine Paul, a former executive at The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), as its new Chief Financial Officer. The hire secures the first major part of the company's new management team. Paul will replace Tom Fuelling who has been at the streaming service since 2007.
The new CEO at Hulu, Mike Hopkins, just took his place at the head of the company last Thursday. Hopkins, who is a former executive at Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ:FOX), replaced acting CEO Andy Forssell at the head of the company. Paul is the first member of the new management team at Hulu, and it certainly sets a trend.
Hopkins seems confident that the company can continue to perform. In a blog post, he said "we are on pace to have one of the strongest years yet for Hulu. I have no doubt that this incredible momentum will continue and flourish with Elaine's leadership."
Mike Hopkins on Hulu's CFO
In a blog post on the new hire, CEO Mike Hopkins called Paul "one of the most tenacious, disciplined and passionate executives I have ever worked with." Hulu is owned by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) (NASDAQ:CMCSK) and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ:FOX). The three companies agreed to give Hulu $750 million for investment in order to avoid selling the company earlier this year.
Elaine Paul will now be in charge of how that money is spent. Hulu is not the most stable company on the planet, but it is hoped that its new management will allow the company to perform well, and allow it to compete with the other big companies in the industry.
Hulu's performance
Hulu is operating in a very competitive industry, and it's not performing particularly well. The streaming service has suffered from poor management and confused strategy in recent years as disagreement between the company's parents dominated its decision making process. The company's installation of a permanent CEO might finally allow it to operate in a way that lets it compete.
The most direct competitor to the company is Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), but it's becoming clearer and clearer that that streaming companies do not operate in a vacuum. Both Netflix and Hulu are competing directly with premium cable services, and both will have to come to terms with the industry as a whole if they hope to grow and return value to their shareholders.

A Short List of Things I Am Bad At:
- Borrowing books
- Libraries
- Remembering
- Returning calls
- Replying to emails
- Grammar (apparently)
- Organization of anything
- Finishing one thought
- Finishing this blog post since it's been a week since I've started it and maybe bullet points are the lazy blogger's blogging (probably)
- Blogging
I've been sporadic with the postings on this blog (even the admission of which is contrary to a rule I set for myself: no apologies, no schedules, talk about what you want to talk about no matter what, and never outline a break.) I think, however, that I'm making all of this far more complicated than it needs to be. Back before there were "mommy bloggers" and "lifestyle bloggers" and "tumblr" there was just blogging, and I used to kind of love it. Then everything got sliced into categories and genres, discounted or vaulted, valued and dissected. Perhaps I need to get back to what I used to love about writing online, in my own space and time.
Lisa once told me that instead of worrying about the socio-political and gender statements of vacuuming, maybe we should just vacuum. That's as good advice as any, whether it's cleaning floors or cleaning our your brain. This blog has blessed and changed my life in innumerable ways; I wouldn't be here without you. So maybe I should just write again without worrying about making it funny, silly, or serious, and just trust that you'll come along?
So, hi everyone. Ready?

Temperatures are falling, pumpkin spice everything has reappeared and stores have already put out holiday displays - all signs that winter is either on the way, or already here, depending on where you live. If you haven't already had your heating system tuned up, now is the time. Neglect is a top cause of heating system inefficiency and failure. Proper maintenance can help ensure your system works as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible throughout the winter. Failing to care for your heating system now could leave you without heat or with hefty emergency repair bills if the system breaks down during very cold weather.
A tune-up is an inexpensive way to ensure heating equipment is operating properly, and provides peace of mind that no potentially harmful blockage exists in a flue or exhaust vent. While it's best to service a heating system before the cold weather arrives, it's also never too late to perform routine maintenance.
According to the home repair experts at HomeServe USA, a typical professional heating system tune-up will include:
• Inspect safety features and controls
• Check thermostats (including adjustment if needed)
• Inspect burners (with adjustments if necessary)
• Check and clean the pilot light
• Check and clean any gauges
• Flush low-water cutoff
• Inspect filters, belts, oil motors, pumps and condensate line (if applicable)
• Check the flue pipe and chimney draft
• Inspect and clean the blower assembly
A thorough tune-up before the heating season starts can help reduce the risk of a problem in the dead of winter, but you should still be aware of your system's performance. Symptoms that may warrant having a professional check the system include:
• The system takes a long time to warm the house after the furnace comes on.
• You hear unusual noises when the furnace turns on.
• You've noticed an unusual amount of dust coming from heating vents.
• The system cycles constantly.
• The burner flame is yellow or flickering. The flame should be blue in natural gas furnaces; a yellow flame means the unit is not burning efficiently and may even be producing harmful carbon monoxide.
• You notice your heating bills have increased more than you would reasonably expect given the temperature outside.
• You experience excessive moisture building up on windows, walls and other cold surfaces.
• You find visual evidence, such as streaks of soot around the furnace, rusting on flue pipes or pipe connections or the vent pipe visible from outside the home, or water leaking from the base of the chimney, vent or flue pipe.
If you act quickly at the first sign of a problem, you may be able to avoid a costly and potentially dangerous failure of your heating system.

Today morning, I woke up from a dream that I was in a study room, but I realized or understood right away that I was inside of my mind and there were three people.
None of us were getting along.
There was me, a small boy like a young version of me, and a woman where most of my principles are based upon.
I went through the day thinking that the small boy is the real person and asking who I am.
I'm like not sure of things anymore after that.
Can you guys offer your point of view? Maybe you guys understand better about this.

Introduction -
Most of you have in your possession a telescope that is truly a "wonder of the world" in that it can determine locations of objects, tell you where they are in the sky....and ZERO IN on them....without you ever looking through the telescope. The modern computerized "GO TO" telescopes can take you on a tour of the majority of Messier objects in one night's observing....zip through hundreds of NGC-listed galaxies and tour the stars by name at your leisure.
But consider the following scenario:
1) you work the night shift and the sky is "all gone" when you finally get home, and the telescope sits in its corner awaiting your first slew to knock the cobwebs from the gearwork;
2) you've had a bad bout of weather and it seems like every night is cloudy, but the days are clear...what gives?
3) Venus and Mercury are both showing extremely favorable and large crescent shapes during their inferior conjunctions but they are "too close" to the sun to see in the morning or evening sky;
4) you have just heard about a very wonderful lunar occultation of the bright star Antares by the moon....but the darned thing happens just after 3 p.m. in the afternoon, and the moon is but a thin crescent and you can't see it with the naked eye!
5) or, you're just bored to death and cannot wait until nightfall to "look at" something.
If this sounds like you....then DAYTIME OBSERVING may be just for you!
On extremely clear - "deep blue" - days there are a remarkable array of celestial objects that can actually be observed during daylight. The trouble has always been knowing WHERE to look for them.
In the "old days" we had to rely on setting circles to find the objects, and had no way of semi-accurately aligning to north for precision pointing, even using those mechanical circles. Also, the only reference point from which to "set" the circles would be the sun itself.
Nonetheless, that archaic method of finding daytime objects was satisfactory....until computerized telescopes could find them for us with a lot less hassle...and a lot more accurately.
Among the objects that can be observed in daylight (very deep clear skies needed....low humidity, no haze, no pollution) are:
- Venus - Mercury - Mars at Perihelion - Saturn (when the sun is very low) - the Moon - the brightest Stars - "sungrazing" comets - and, of course...the Sun.
On the bright inferior planets Venus and Mercury more detail amidst the scintillating brightness of the planet can be seen during daylight than at night. The photo above (courtesy NASA) shows Venus in visible light (as your eyes would see it) and demonstrates some of the cloud patterns that can actually be seen in amateur telescopes during daylight observing.
In fact, the best time to observe the fascinating crescent phase of Venus and when both it and Mercury are LARGEST as we see from Earth is when it is at INFERIOR CONJUNCTION, very much between the Earth and sun and consequently always see during brightened skies.
Likewise, occultations of the brighter stars by the moon DO take place frequently in daylight hours; and there are daylight times that these bright stars can be OCCULTED by asteroids, thus causing them to seemingly "blink out" of visibility....all this CAN be observed without much difficulty with your GO TO telescope.
Following is a brief description of the two most important aspects of daylight observing:
1) how to acquire (find) the objects with a GO TO scope; and,
2) how to properly observe these objects for maximum definition and least sky/sun glare.
Finding objects in daylight is easy with your computerized telescope, and not at all unlike using the telescope at night. Patience at the eyepiece is the key factor as your eyes will play tricks on you as you attempt to actually "see" the object superimposed in a bright blue sky.
NOTE: other than Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the Moon, objects will NOT be visible in either the 8 x 21 finder for the ETX or DS scopes nor the 8 x 50 finder with the LX 90. You will be required to use the lowest magnification possible for your main telescope and attempt to acquire the object in its field of view!
Follow these easy steps for your next daytime astronomy outing:
1) Achieve focus the night before with your lowest power, widest field eyepiece. The most difficult of daylight observing is attempting to determine FOCUS. If you are not focused just right, NOTHING will be visible, even if it is dead-center! An out-of-focus image blends much too quickly into the bright blue sky that you will see in your eyepiece! Another alternative to prior-night focusing (it will be right at the last place you observed a nighttime object...there is no difference in daylight and nighttime celestial focusing of course...just make sure you use the SAME eyepiece as the night before, as no eyepieces are truly parfocal) will be to use the SUN to focus on prior to setting up; this should ONLY be done when a proper solar filter of optical glass is in place over the front of the telescope!
2) Set up your telescope per the instructions, just as you would at night: level the tripod, place the telescope in "Home Position", initialize, and then do the "Setup/Align/Easy...." two star method;
3) When AutoStar takes you to each of the two alignment stars, merely press "enter" when you hear the beep; do not attempt to even locate the stars....if your setup in home position and leveling was accurate, you will be a lot closer than you might imagine!
4) Unless you really messed up, AutoStar will now come back and tell you "Alignment Successful" and your clock drives will engage and you are ready to GO TO something during the day!
5) Just like at night (let's say you are looking for Venus), merely press "Select/Object/Solar System/Venus.." enter and the telescope will take you remarkably close to the planet which should be somewhere close to the field of your wide field eyepiece; give the telescope time to complete its GO TO slew and do not do anything until you hear the "beep" and the object's data is listed on the AutoStar screen;
6) If you do not find it immediately, allow your eyes time to adjust to the brilliant sky and lack of contrast...the object may, indeed, be in the field of view! If you still do not see it and are reasonably sure it is NOT in the field of view, hold down the "ENTER" key for about 3 seconds and do the "Spiral Search" which will initiate the telescope to begin moving in ever-larger squares outward until you stop it by pressing "Mode." (note: this feature is found only on the new versions v2.1ek firmware which can be loaded into all AutoStars).
Once you have found your object you may have difficulty getting a good image for three reasons:
1) during daylight, the radiant heat from the ground typically interferes with steady seeing; likewise the telescope tube assembly is absorbing heat and those internal currents will greatly degrade the image on some occasions;
2) sunlight in your eyes interferes with your eyesight and your ability to concentrate on the image;
3) there is considerable glare and light flares that are entering your optical tube as a result of direct sunlight.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can control #1) above; we are at the mercy of our atmosphere and daily climate; however, observing early in the morning hours is preferred prior to ground warming to steady air currents; likewise, you can attempt to observe with your telescope IN SHADE (under a porch or a tree) and aimed into the open sky toward your object, to reduce telescope heating.
As for sunlight in your eyes, use the same trick that "old timer" photographers had to use....put a dark cloth over your head and shield your eyes from direct sunlight. This is even a good option for nighttime observing as well. It is amazing the difference you will see in both image contrast and your ability to focus/concentrate on what is being shown!
Figure 1 shows the effect of #3) above, the serious problem of extraneous sunlight reflecting off of your front telescope element as well as entering the tube itself; both the reflection and the intrusion of light will totally break down your image sharpness.
As you can see, the nature of the design of the ETX and LX series (as well as all other Schmidts and Maksutovs) is such that the front glass element is exposed well into the outer opening of the tube and thus very easily in the path of direct sunlight. The Newtonian DS series does not have such as big a problem as the main optical component (the mirror) is located well toward the bottom and shielded from the light!
The very simple solution to greatly enhance your contrast and image quality on the ETX and LX telescopes is to simply provide a light shield that blocks direct sunlight from striking the front optical element as shown in Figure 2.
This can be accomplished by a simple "dew shield" that is commercially available in all colors, fabrics and feels, or simply by rolling up a piece of "poster board" into a tube which slips down over the front of the optical tube assembly of your telescope!
To adequately block extraneous solar rays, the rule of thumb is that the shield must be TWO TIMES longer than the lens/corrector plate is in diameter....thus if you have a 3.5" ETX 90, then make your cardboard tube about 7" in total length extended beyond your front surface.
You will be amazed at the difference in clarity and contrast so simple a device makes. As a matter of fact this is an EXCELLENT tool to also use when observing celestial objects that are VERY CLOSE TO THE BRIGHT MOON at nighttime as well. Anytime the moon is quarter or more illuminated in the sky and you wish to observe even a bright objects such as a planet, a light shield will greatly improve your observing.
So, not only do our GO TO telescopes open up the frontier of distant galaxies and intriguing nebulous filaments of deep space in the darkened recesses of night....they also allow us the freedom of exercising a little astronomy in daylight hours as well.
It's time to put on the shades, roll up your sleeves, dab on the sunscreen and go outdoors and "gather a few rays".... and explore the brighter side of your GO TO telescope!

Flynn Talks Crime - Collins Gets Time
March 30, 2007.
After a scheduled thirty minute "speak out" of citizens and the reading of the minutes, the public meeting of the Springfield Finance Control Board began with a brief discussion of city affairs. Springfield Police Commissioner Edward Flynn had been scheduled to speak first, but he was a bit tardy for his appearance there - perhaps because of his interview with Urban Compass blogger Heather Brandon concerning the ridiculously stupid letters to the editor that appeared in that day's (Friday) Springfield Republican, regarding a shoot-out police had gotten into with a violent criminal.
Upon his arrival, Flynn began his testimony before the Board with a comparison of crime statistics from 2006 and 2005. As most interested people already know, the stats include the following information: For the year 2006, murder was down 17%; Robbery was down 12%; and aggravated assaults were down 19%.
Flynn went on to say that of the aggravated assaults, they (the police) believed that approximately 40% of those reported were the result of domestic violence, and that a further "large number" involved persons already known to each other (non-domestic). He said about one-quarter to one-third of reported assaults were deemed to be by a stranger.
On reported rapes in the city, Flynn estimated that 90% of these crimes involved persons already known to each other, or were the result of prostitution or other accompanying crimes. (This is probably not a big surprise.)
Commissioner Flynn also took the time to discuss a new plan the Department had been working on. The plan would have newly released inmates (from area jails) visiting Police Headquarters (on Pearl Street) upon their arrival in Springfield. There, they would be introduced at the Headquarters' roll call, where they would have the opportunity to meet with the officers. The plan would of course have the dual purpose of allowing the officers themselves to have a good look at any potential repeat offender. Personally, I thought the idea was pretty good - and as a good citizen, a bit amusing, too. ("Welcome home, John. Come on over and meet the boys. We're here to "help" you if you should happen to lose your way again...")
Flynn also discussed the subject of robbery in the city. He asked the Board - and the public - not to read too much into wintertime statistics, since historically, incidents of robbery tend to go up in winter because of the longer periods of darkness and the greater ease of concealing weapons due to the wearing of heavier clothing.
For an inaugural "speak-out" event, this FCB meeting turned out to be somewhat of a dud as far as attendance goes. Only five people showed up to speak, and those people were still only allowed 3 minutes to talk. One of those speakers, though, was regular-attendee Timothy T. Collins, president of the Springfield Education Association.
Collins fit a lot of information into his brief three minute speech to the Board. His first two topics concerned public employee and SEA business, and he then went on to city business. He discussed the need for Springfield to find new sources of revenue. He said the city should support Deval Patrick's call for cities to have the ability to raise their own revenue, other than property tax, which would then allow Springfield to take advantage of the very large influx of young persons who frequent the city on weekends by introducing city taxes on beverages and meals. He went on to discuss the need for allowing an increase in property tax rates (beyond prop 2.5) for those property owners living outside of Springfield (property investors) via home rule legislation from the State.
The Urban Compass blog has the complete text of Collins' speak-out - which I thought was pretty entertaining and informative, as well as the text of the other speakers who showed up to have their voices heard.

SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – On Monday, May 16th 2016 at 5:52 pm, Shrewsbury Police responded to a residence, on Balsam Circle, for a suspicious male in the rear of the house. The suspect subsequently fled the area on foot. A description of the suspect was given out and while officers were searching the area, a stolen motor vehicle was discovered on Rawson Hill Drive, that the suspect had used. A short distance away, on Rawson Hill Drive, the suspect broke into a residence and was scared off by the homeowner. The suspect then fled to another residential neighborhood approximately a half mile away onto Colonial Drive and approached a residence where he identified himself as a Sheriffs Officer and said he was serving paperwork. That resident immediately called 911 and the suspect fled on foot.
The suspect went to another residence, on Colonial Drive, and broke into the garage of the residence, where he stole a motor vehicle and fled in the motor vehicle. While fleeing on Colonial Drive he nearly struck Officer Matthew Caola of the Shrewsbury Police who was on foot looking for the suspect. At this point, Shrewsbury Officers began to pursue the suspect in the stolen motor vehicle from Colonial Drive onto Rt. 140 North into Boylston. The suspect traveled on Rt. 140, North until he drove the stolen vehicle off the roadway by the Wachusett Reservoir in Boylston and fled on foot into the woods where he was apprehended by Shrewsbury Officers Matthew Caola, Adam Cameron and Kevin Caviston. No one was injured as a result of the incident. He was then transported to the Shrewsbury Police Department for booking.

She's an animator and she has animator anecdotes that are in a different genre to my musical ones. That's one of the interesting things about Christmas socialising: picking up little stories in your shopping basket. For instance, at Gina's the other day I was told by one of her neighbours about a Marc Jacobs Coca Cola bottle that someone didn't know what to do with.
Put it on eBay? Take it to Oxfam?
'Drink it', I suggested.
Joan had set up an experiment with pinhole cameras and monochrome photographic paper, with her neighbours. They had all made pictures of the slow trajectory of the sun across the sky and then shown them at Christmas drinks parties. Will Self, the writer, had been at one of them, and had got very upset at the thought of Joan using Photoshop to bring out the best qualities in the prints she'd made from the photographs.
After mulled berry juice in the warm gloom of the kitchen, we went on a tour of the best charity shops in Barnet, foraging and browsing for hours.
Joan was going to a masked ball last night and she bought a lovely midnight-blue dress and two vintage beaded handbags. One of them was dripping with strands of tiny green beads and looked as though it had been dredged up from a coral reef. I bought a sheath dress covered in a print of wisteria (good! I never manage to grow the bloody stuff!) and a tiny silver pill box with a dog's head on it.
I saw other people doing the same as us; there was a woman in a fluffy jacket with beige dogs printed on it who appeared in the same shops, sometimes before us and sometimes after us, buying different sorts of things.
Joan's students are having a competition to see who has the most revolting Christmas-present jumper and we found a humdinger for Joan to wear, potentially: but it was just too ghastly.
Afterwards we returned home with our spoils to show the Offsprogs, as though they were our mums, and scoffed mince pies.
How very different to the fierce and greedy scrum of the sales!

The RentHere is a classic that has been around, but few of you have probably seen it
A young man met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the nightwith her for $500. So they did. Before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but that he would have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment "RENT FOR APARTMENT."
On the way to his office he regretted what he had promised, deciding that the whole event was not worth the price. So, he had his secretary send acheck for $250 and enclosed the following note:
Dear Madam, Enclosed find check in the amount of $250 for rent of your
apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon because when I rented
the apartment I was under the impression that:
1) it had never been occupied;
2) that there was plenty of heat;
3) that it was small enough to make me cozy and feel at home. Last night, however, I found it had been previously occupied, that there was no heat, and it was entirely too large.
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check for $250 with the following note:
Dear Sir, First of all, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is heat if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is, indeed, of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please don't blame the landlady!
He paid the $500 RENT.

When the stereotypical man reaches a certain age, he acquires an expensive motorbike or sportscar, has an affair and starts to wear a leather jacket. In While We're Young, 44-year-old documentarian Josh (Ben Stiller) goes for a hip hat and a friendship with a younger couple instead. Writer-director-auteur Noah Baumbach manages to sidestep most off the clichés about the midlife crisis and tell a poignant tale about growing old(er). It's Greenberg meets Frances Ha.
Crucially, his film is not about a man, but about a couple. Josh and Cornelia (Naomi Watts) are in their forties, childless and free. In theory at least. The reality is slightly different, as the couple spend their evenings watching netflix on their expensive flat-screen whilst fumbling with their smartphones. Josh has been working on the same project for ten years with no end in sight. Things begin to change when he meets Jamie (Adam Driver) and his wife Darby (Amanda Seyfried). They are the quintessential vinyl-collecting, hat-wearing, desk-making hipster couple; pet-chicken included. He has ambitions as a documentary-maker and she makes avocado-flavoured ice-cream. For Josh and Cornelia, it's love at first sight. The friendship reinvigorates them with unforeseen energy and joie de vivre, as they indulge street beaches and strange cleansing rituals involving hallucinogenics and vomiting. Soon, Josh and Jamie start collaborating on a new documentary. Everything seems perfect. Too perfect. Soon, the honeymoon phase begins to wear of and jealousy takes over.
While We're Young places itself comfortably between the neurotic/sarcastic social satire of Woody Allen and Wes Anderson's shameless quirkiness. Baumbach's greatest strength is his writing. He has an admirable ear for dialogue and is continuously able to come up with lines that are both funny and meaningful.The foursome of leading performers all manage to put their own stamp on the script and breathe life into the characters. Ben Stiller deserves a particular mention here as he holds everything together with his best work since Greenberg.
The surprisingly conservative, but perhaps inevitable, conclusion to the slightly haphazard third act provides some nutritious food for thought for middle-aged as well as young viewers. A crucial storyline about Jamie's first documentary project furthermore injects the film with a fascinating examination of the meaning of truth and the responsibility that comes with it. Baumbach is happy to let the audience find their own answers to the questions he asks himself, which means that While We're Young will stay in your mind for a while after leaving the cinema.

Taking Vitamin D? You may still feel SADMarch 18th, 2009 - 5:06 pm ICT by IANS
London, March 18 (IANS) The latest study says Vitamin D may not really help you overcome depression and symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which is linked to reduced sunlight.
Exposure to sunlight stimulates vitamin D in the skin and a shortage of sunlight in the winter has been put forward as one possible cause of SAD.
However Warwick University Medical School researchers, led by Oscar Franco, have discovered low levels of vitamin D in the blood may not be connected to depression.
The team recruited more than 3,000 people and tested levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) in the blood. They then carried out a questionnaire with the participants to assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms.
Vitamin D deficiency exists when the concentration of vitamin D in the blood serum occurs at 12 nanograms per ml or less.
Franco, assistant clinical professor in public health, said: "Few studies have explored the association between blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and depression in the general population.
"A deficiency of vitamin D has also been attributed to several chronic diseases, including osteoporosis, common cancers, autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases," he added.
This study was carried out in collaboration with colleagues from the Institute for Nutritional Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences in China, said a Warwick release.
The team recruited 3,262 community residents aged 50-70 from Beijing and Shanghai in China as part of the Nutrition and Health of Aging Population in China (NHAPC) project.
These findings have been published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.

Despite all of our speculation and discussion about who would be Ohio's New Attorney General (Plunderpoll predicted Jerid Kurtz), I don't think anyone guessed it would be an outsider like Nancy Rogers.
In all of the excitement, it seems like we overlooked a lot of obvious problems that Marc Dann brought to the AG's office.
Fortunately, the Governor appears to have been a little more thorough in his analysis than Ohio's political bloggers. Just off the top of my head I can see three big benefits to choose Nancy Rogers over some of the other candidates:
1. She's not a guy.
What better way to clean up the "frat house" type atmosphere Dann and his buddies brought to the AG's office than to appoint a women?
No more sex scandals and no more late-night pizza and pajama parties.
2. She's not a politician or a political insider
Not only does Ms. Rogers not have any serious political baggage like Marc Dann, she doesn't appear to have any serious political ambitions either.
This means her appointment shouldn't draw any major critisism from the Republicans and there won't be any resentment from Democrats who may have their eye on the AG's office.
3. She actually has management experience
Marc Dann admitted he wasn't ready for the job of AG and blamed a lot of the problems in his office on the fact that he's is a bad manager.
Ms. Rogers has years of experience managing a large staff and running a large organization and should be ready for the job on day one.
Modern Esquire
"No more sex scandals and no more late-night pizza and pajama parties."
At least, we really, REALLY hope not…
Now we just need to find ourselves a nominee.
