Kristi Yamaguchi's Super-Slimming Workout
Reigning queen of Dancing with the Stars, world champ and Olympic gold medalist in figure skating — you might think losing just isn't in Kristi Yamaguchi's DNA. But in the age-old epic battle between time and fitting in exercise, the skater, who stopped touring professionally in 2002 to start a family, was getting her butt kicked. "At first I was making it to the gym three times a week, but gradually that stopped, and I didn't have a consistent workout schedule," says Yamaguchi, mother of two girls with her husband Bret Hedican, a professional hockey player. "I would aim for a half hour on the elliptical, plus some stretching, light weights, and ab work, but I was a preschool mom. Running after my daughters was usually my workout for the day."
She's also like other moms — and non-moms — in the way that she has belly issues. "I've never had definition in my stomach. There's always this layer on it," Yamaguchi says. That was the case even when she was at her fittest, training three hours a day, five days a week. And it was even more the case when she left the pro tour circuit. "I've always been good when it comes to diet — fresh fruit with yogurt and granola for breakfast, maybe a turkey-and-cheese sandwich for lunch and chicken stir-fry for dinner.
"I believe in moderation, and I avoid certain junk foods," she explains. "My stomach is just a family trait." Take her tummy and her softer focus on exercise, factor in two pregnancies, and you have a sense of why, mentally and physically, Yamaguchi decided last year to go out for DWTS. "I'm a fan of the show, and I'd seen the transformations people went through after just several weeks," she recalls. "I figured it'd be a fun way to get into shape."
How Kristi Got in Shape for Dancing with the Stars
But before even going on the show, Yamaguchi wanted to tone up and get better conditioned for the eight-hour days of rehearsing. She turned to Pilates, the strength and stretching method she first tried when she was 12 and in rehab after surgery. "The dancers with the San Francisco Ballet were using it, and since ballet and skating are similar in that you need flexibility and lean muscles, my doctor recommended it," Yamaguchi explains. Over the years, she added Pilates to her regimen. "It's about building your core, getting it strong, because everything radiates from there. But I've found that you can use it to work all the muscles in your body. And since you're not doing a lot of reps, you're maintaining a lean look."
In Raleigh, North Carolina (her husband was playing for the Carolina Hurricanes at the time), Yamaguchi worked out at Smart Body Pilates with instructor and co-owner Missy Grant two times a week. Putting in 60- to 90-minute sessions for six weeks got her DWTS-confident. "I felt it was good training not only because it's a great overall body workout but also because Pilates incorporates some body-awareness and dance-type moves, which was perfect for me," she says.

Perfect, as in perfect score of 60 — her number both going into the finale and coming out the champ. During the 14 weeks of rehearsing and competing on TV, Yamaguchi says she got the body transformation she'd been hoping for, though hers was slightly different from others'. Her weight didn't really change — she lost maybe a pound — but her muscle tone and cardio strength radically improved. "My calves especially got firm from dancing in heels," she says.
Since capturing the mirror-ball trophy, Yamaguchi is doing a better job of sticking to her three-times-a-week exercise routine, having found a new Pilates instructor, Joy Petrash, closer to her present home in Northern California. She also sometimes joins her husband, as she did when they first got married, in his strength-training workout. Her winning streak lives on.
Kristi Yamaguchi's Workout, Playlist, and Fitness Tips

"Special K Bars. I usually have one in my purse or the diaper bag."
Her Instant Stress Fix
"A cup of chamomile tea. It really calms me and helps me sleep. I was drinking it every night before the performances on DWTS."

The FBI is asking for the public's help to identify and locate a man suspected of sexually exploiting a child in images being circulated on child pornography forums.
According to San Diego FBI officials, the accused sex predator is known as "John Doe 27."
He was first photographed engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child in April 2013, and that information was recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Officials said those explicit images are still being distributed across child pornography forums online.
Investigators have enhanced a number of photos depicting the suspect, including a snapshot of the man's face and bald head (see photos above). Those images were released by the FBI to the public Tuesday in hopes of tracking down the suspected predator.
"We believe this person is involved in the sexual exploitation of children," said San Diego FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth. "We're asking the public to please take a look at these photographs. We don't know who [this man] is, but we feel that he is out there endangering children and continuing to victimize them."
Foxworth said there are several clues in the newly-released photos that may assist with the identification of the man. For instance, the images show male pattern baldness on the man's head and a ring on his right ring finger.
One image also shows a distinct plaid chair seen inside a residence where the suspect interacts with his victim (see photo below).
"We're asking people to take a look at this chair and see if it's something that somebody might recognize, whether they purchased this chair at a furniture store or if they've seen it at a business or residence," said Foxworth.
Investigators said that based on audio heard from the video, it is believed that the man may have referred to himself as "Jimmy." Foxworth said the man has a southern accent.
The FBI described John Doe 27 as a Caucasian male, possibly in his 40s or 50s, with dark hair and dark eyes. For now, there are no specific details linking the suspect to a particular state or city. He remains at large, and no charges have been filed in this case.
He's currently being sought as part of the FBI's Operation Rescue Me and Child Endangered Alert Program (ECAP). Anyone with information on the suspect's identify and whereabouts should call the FBI's tip line at (800) CALL-FBI or submit at tip at this website.
Using new photo-enhancing technology, Foxworth said the FBI is working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to identify and locate more of these "unknown" sexual predators and prevent the exploitation of children.
"With the sharing of these photographs today, we hope that someone out there is able to identify this individual or the photographs," added Foxworth.

Later in the week it is Chinese New Year (14th February). This year it is the year of the tiger. As such, we thought now may be a good time to enlighten you on some of the etiquette and background that surrounds chopsticks.
The word 'chopsticks' is thought to have been discovered in the 1800s, when foreigners heard Chinese boatmen referring to cooking utensils as 'kuai-tzu'. Pidgin English transformed this into 'chop-chop'.
Chopsticks are thought to improve dexterity and memory. This is especially good for wannabe painters, apparently.
In Chinese cuisine, chopsticks are used to eat everything except: soup (a porcelain spoon is used), Peking duck (the hands are employed here), and puddings (which uses either the hands or a spoon).
Hold your chopsticks a third of the way down, leaving the thicker ends clean. This is because the top of the chopsticks are used to take food from communal serving dishes to your bowl, whereas the narrower ends are used to bring food from your bowl to your mouth. In China the higher you hold your chopsticks, the more sophisticated you supposedly are.
It is considered the height of rudeness to beat the side of your bowl with chopsticks: this is what beggars used to do. It is also ill advised to drop your sticks as this is thought to bring bad luck; similarly, leaving your chopstick upright in rice evokes death.
Chopsticks are more than just eating utensils. During the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) chopsticks were made from gold and silver. Silver was thought to detect poison: but, as a lot of diners found out, this was not the case.
Gung Hay Fat Choy! (Happy Chinese New Year!)

Former students of the university must apply for readmission if: (1) they have been absent for two full semesters (excluding summer sessions) immediately preceding the semester for which application is made; or (2) they have attended another college in any interval of their absence. In order to be considered "in attendance" for any semester, the student must be enrolled in at least one class through the end of the twentieth day of instruction, and is, therefore, given the status of continuing student. (See Planned Educational Leave of Absence for more information.) If a student has attended any other educational institution since previous attendance as a matriculated student at this university, transcripts must be supplied for all academic work for which the student enrolled in the period since last attending.
Applications for readmission and all supporting materials must be filed in the Admissions Office or the Graduate Division in accordance with current requirements and procedures. To be eligible for readmission, graduate students must have earned a minimum GPA of 3.0 in all course work attempted at SFSU in graduate status and all course work attempted at other colleges during their absence.
Graduate Approved Programs (GAPs) filed before leaving the university are automatically voided after one regular semester of absence has occurred and where no formal Planned Educational Leave of Absence has been granted. Upon readmission, a new GAP that meets current curricular requirements needs to be completed and filed (see specific program in the Academic Programs section).
Students on academic probation, who discontinued their official enrollment at the university for more than one semester, will be considered for readmission only upon presentation of evidence of having earned a C average in all university work attempted at San Francisco State University. For classified graduate students, this is a 3.0 (B) GPA in all course work attempted while in post-baccalaureate status.
Grade point deficiencies incurred at San Francisco State University may be removed only by course work taken through Open University or Winter Session at San Francisco State University. Undergraduate students with unusual circumstances may submit a petition for special consideration to the Admissions Office. Graduate students with unusual circumstances may contact the Graduate Division for advice.

The Book of Mormon
Prince of Wales Theatre, London
More information about The Book of Mormon tickets
The hilarious Broadway musical from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez.
The Book of Mormon was an instant sensation when it landed in the West End in 2013. A sell-out winner of most major Broadway awards in its first year, it is now playing at London's Prince of Wales Theatre just by Leicester Square.
The Book of Mormon skillfully combines controversial humour with a traditional musical-theatre style, as well as a surprising amount of affection for its subject matter.
Telling the story of two young and naive Mormon missionaries as they are sent out from Salt Lake City to find converts in Uganda, The Book of Mormon is a sharp, savage and satirical show, with an intelligent message, not to mention great songs and performances, and a fair amount of filthy humour.
The Book of Mormon has won nine Tony Awards, a Grammy and four Olivier Awards, as well as almost universally glowing reviews, from critics and audiences alike.

Has anyone installed the EASY WATER conditioning system. I am considering it and just wondered how it works.
I have an EasyWater and I really like it. The salesman was very helpful when I called and explained what it would and wouldn't get from the system.
I have seen the hard water build up in my showerhead and dishwasher go away. There is actually water pressure again in my shower. I have an old water heater as well and it was popping and crackling before the Easywater and now it has stopped. I drained off some water from the water heater and all kinds of sludge came out. The system is obviously working.
When I get out of the shower I don't have that slimy feel on my skin anymore. That took a little adjusting but its okay.
I have had great results from my Easywater. I recommend looking into it.
Information on the web is only as good as it's source...of the 17 message boards i've seen asking this question. "Is easywater system any good?" the one constant is the ??? and always a single poster with "only a history of 1 post" claiming to have an Easywater system and how great it is.:D
Don't believe it do your own research,but I am calling schenanigans
The best independant information can be found at http://www.chem1.com/CQ/aquacrack.html.
For the rest of the clever marketing..Shame Shame Shame!!!
I put one in my house 3 months ago. It came highly recommended by our plumber, who's a big deal here in town. We had it professionally installed, but we probably could have put it in ourselves. Even though we were really curious about it, we did it anyway because they had a money back if not satisfied warranty.
Well, we're very satisfied and we're keeping it. Our showerheads aren't clogged anymore and dear hubby loves not carrying the salt bags anymore. The plumber said it's cleaning our pipes and water heater from scale buildup, which is increasing their life span. We're sold. Mother is getting one next.
Just my two cents.:)
I have heard nothing but positive feedback on the system, and I have recently installed one in my new home. So far, so good!
What is the difference between a Easy and a regular water conditioner?
I have been installing standard water conditioners in the Central Florida area for about six years as a small family business. All I install for the conditioning of water is standard salt-consuming softeners. I am considered an expert in the field of residential water filtration by my peers/competitors, and have cleaned some of the most atrocious water ever to be pumped from a well.
In a nutshell, conventional softeners work by passing the water with dissolved iron ions, calcium ions and manganese ions (primary contaminants in most water) through a reservoir of tiny resin beads. These beads rip the ions from the water molecules which hold them hostage, where the resin holds them hostage until salt ions come along and rip the ions away from the resin. Onward.
At first, I was a bit excited that I may have a new product to offer my customers. I was skeptical, as all good consumers should be. After some mild research, I am unconvinced that this system works, or does anything at all. First of all, I will answer the question directly prior, then try to be available for questions on a regular basis for as long as I can sustain the burden.
"The EasyWater signal wire is wrapped around a copper, PVC or PEX pipe. Electronic frequencies (not actual electricity) pass through the pipe and cause molecular agitation in the water (Faraday's Law). In untreated water the minerals fall out of solution and float around in the water. These minerals look like tree branches, have an electrostatic charge on their surface and want to stick to other objects like your pipes. EasyWater treatment causes the minerals to fall out of solution and combine together with each other. As a result, these larger but still microscopic minerals look like discs or Frisbees, lose their electrostatic surface charge and thus their ability to stick to things. The minerals simply float with the water down the drain and do not stick to your piping, water heater or other water using appliances. EasyWater treatment causes the water to be stable and under saturated. This gives the water the ability to dissolve existing scale buildup as it flows through your home. About 80% of water exists as water molecule clusters held together by hydrogen bonds. EasyWater breaks these hydrogen bonds and causes the water molecule clusters to become individual molecules, which re-dissolve the existing scale deposits. EasyWater does not add or remove anything from your water. With EasyWater you get many of the benefits of soft water but are able to keep beneficial minerals in the conditioned water." -http://www.easywater.com/howitworks.aspx
I underlined some key points, and will address them in order:
Faraday's law deals with the electrical phenomenon that current (electricity) can be generated by magnetic field generation, in this case via electromagnetic radiation in wire. Ever made a magnet by wrapping wire around a steel rod? That is Faraday's law. Ever seen a flashlight that runs by cranking or shaking? Same law of physics. Why do you need to know this? That is exactly what I am trying to ascertain. I think they are just trying to sound vindicated by science. Faraday's law applied here says that you are going to generate an electromagnetic field in the water. Water is a dipole molecule, but I don't believe its molecular structure can't be altered by such a weak magnetic field. Perhaps someone just a little more brainy than me can read the contents of the following link and provide a bit of insight: http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/magnetic.html
Electrostatic is really just the principal of static electricity. So then if I am in this mindset, I am led to believe that these ions of iron and calcium that stain and crust on appliances are just little balloons that have been rubbed on each other's heads so that they will stick to the walls of pipes and such? Maybe, but I think the better explanation is that these ions find crevaces and rough spots on pipe and glass and stuff and they form crystalline structures. Ever done the thing where you grow crystals on a string that dangles in water? I have actually seen larger geode-like structures form in pvc pipe from iron and calcium.
Does not add or remove? So then it renders hard water ions impotent by making them pass through a weak magnetic field? Well, there are many older products that claim to do this (such as http://www.scalefighter.com/index.php?pr=Installation_Guide) but for some reason are not distributed wholesale for widespread availability. If it works, why can't I as an industry insider buy one at any of my wholesalers? See also an episode of "Mythbusters" where they apply this same principal to the fuel line of a vehicle for the purpose of improving fuel efficiency. The short story is that it was busted.
What?!? It prevents them from sticking, but they are still available in the water for your benefit? Well, maybe that makes sense... except I thought they combined with each other? So then we have to define combine. They didn't define it for us, so I will assume that they mean that the ions will either combine chemically, or combine magnetically. If they combine chemically, they are no longer the same individual elements. If they combine magnetically, won't they just separate when agitated? Either way, if either of these two scenarios were possible, wouldn't they just naturally occur due to the magnetic forces of gravity or from the windings in the motor of a submersible pump? Whether it would or would not, it seems like a flimsy argument.
So, in summary, we have a product that is not available for distribution, only to individuals. They have a secret society of plumbers who install them if you don't feel you can wrap a wire around a pipe. They ambigously define how thier product works, complete with science that, at best, may explain how only small portions of the process work (If this is patented, why so secret?).
They also claim to remove hard water build up in your plumbing system. So, if you have had hard water and the science is 100% foolproof, then after this process takes place, the water is then free to redissolve more hard water particles. I wonder if this is covered in their guarantee period? I bet it takes as long or longer than the money-back-guarantee covers, and then you still have to deal with hard water scale without knowing the difference! I bring this up because I had a customer happen upon me with this problem. I installed a new system, it didn't help for a year until her pipes cleared.
Even if it does remove the build up, consider that this system may actually remove build up that is acting like a blood clot, preventing an indoor plumbing disaster. I have seen this happen on outdoor plumbing and most commonly on the drop pipe in a deep well. The scale actually protects the pipe from decay to a limited extent.
All things considered, more research is needed. I do not stand by this product, or their marketing model. I do not recommend that anyone buy this without considering that it may first and foremost be a scam. Then, please do research on your own. Prove me wrong or right, I'm happy either way, so long as people aren't getting ripped off. First of all, I am doing this to protect my industry, then to protect people against quick-fix schemes. Please don't take offence if you are a real person who installed one.
@ Showfan, As research, did you remove an old/defunct conditioning system? It seems as though you had softer water prior to this system being installed, as the slimy feeling you describe as being now gone in an indicator that your water was softer than it is now. Also, make a habit of draining your hot water tank at least once every six months, if you don't already. If you had sludge, your water supply also may produce sediment, which will buff the insides of your newly clean plumbing until it wears thin somewhere and bursts. Consider a product called Vu-Flow if this is the case. Rarely, the sludge and the past slimy feeling may be "bacterial" iron, which is an indicator that your water supply needs to be chlorinated due to potential groundwater intrusion to be 100% safe for consumption. I highly reccomend getting a water test that includes a test for coliform bacteria to confirm your need for chlorination. And if so, don't worry too much about chlorination, a carbon filter will remove free chlorine totally.
@ tvjules, you seem to have replaced an old/defunct conditioning system. Were you in contact with someone who can service these units? It seems that besides that, you replaced your system because you were tired of carrying salt? So then the system was consuming salt but not providing soft water? It sounds like the resin media was getting old. That is replaceable and I hate to say that you probably threw away a perfectly good water conditioning system that only required maintenance.
@ both of you, are you marketing bots? If not, can you please provide any literature you may have received upon purchasing/installation. As I have said, I am still vaguely interested in getting this for some of my customers and easywater is less than forthcoming.
Go to "Become a Dealer" on the EasyWater web site and one of their representatives will contact you shortly. I sell the EasyWater system because it works, not because it's a scam. Salt softeners have been around for many many years and are still a viable alternative to treating hard water. But now, EasyWater provides a "no-salt" alternative to treating hard water. EasyWater does not try to over-sell their product. In fact, they will even tell you that salt softeners work better in some cases:
"A good salt type water softener uses the same ion exchange process that it does on calcium and magnesium to remove a good portion of the iron in your water and reduce staining. EasyWater reduces iron staining but does not do as good a job as a water softener. A secondary filter will be necessary when iron staining is a problem."
"If you had a softener before, you will see more spotting if you do not wipe down the shower doors and faucets after use. Water spots left with a salt type water softener are less visible, but harder to remove."
What EasyWater does "physically changes the minerals in water to prevent them from forming scale. A softener replaces minerals with salt." If you have existing scale in your pipes and appliances, EasyWater will clean that out too. If your customers are seeing that whitish-gray scaling around their water faucets and shower heads, then I highly recommend the EasyWater. Their 90-day moneyback guarantee and warranty are very generous when it comes to treating hard water. Your customers should start noticing a difference very soon.
When you do your research, you will find that there are many products on the market that claim to do the same thing as EasyWater. However, EasyWater's company has been around since 1986 when they started treating commercial and industrial facilities. They are clearly the industry leader when it comes to no-salt technology. They spent 15 years in research and development prior to releasing the EasyWater product in 2001 intended for residential use.
Finally, I wouldn't get too caught up with trying to figure out the mechanics of the EasyWater. I'm sure there are engineering and design specifications that they would prefer to keep confidential in their industry. The main thing is that the EasyWater works like they say it will. If your customers are a good fit, they follow EasyWater's recommendations, and install the system properly, then they will be satisfied.
Easy water is a scam. They wrap a coil around a metal water pipe and claim that electrical field penetrates the metal pipe and treats the calcium in the water.
The conductive metal is a Faraday cage and no electro magnetic field can penetrate.
Save your money-this does not work.
I submitted a complaint with the FTC about this product. Let us see what happens.

Thanks for exposing yet another hoax......... 21st century snake oil salesmen.
Im new here. I have really researched different systems like Easywater and other no-salt systems and thought Easywater was the best on out there. I actually just got it this week, but havent installed it...plan on doing it this weekend. My house does not have room for a salt softener and I really do not want the salt added to my water. My wife and I decided to get an EasyWater 2200. I have horrible water 21-25 grains per gallon according to my city report. I invite anyone who wants to know what it does once it is actually installed to email me directly. I have posted on other sites as well because the only people that ever post say it doesnt work it cant work...but they dont have it. I really hope it works but if it doesnt I can return it so I figure I might as well try it because I am tried of having the issues with hard water. My email address is [email protected]. I will also be taking pictures of the areas in my house that have scale. They said that one area that I will notice a big change is my water heater so I will try to take picture of that if I can. So send me an email if you have questions from someone who actually owns one...and hopefully it is as easy to install as it looks on the website!!!

Alibaba's Jack Ma says US-China trade war ends 1 million US jobs promise: Xinhua
(BABA.N) Chairman
Jack Ma
said the company can no longer meet its promise to create 1 million jobs in the United States due to U.S.-
tensions, Chinese news agency Xinhua reported on Wednesday.
Ma has already warned that the trade war between the world's two largest economies could last decades and that China should focus exports on the "Silk Road" trade route, citing Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe.
Ma met U.S. President
Donald Trump
two years ago and laid out the Chinese e-commerce giant's plan to bring one million small U.S. businesses onto its platform to sell to Chinese consumers over the next five years.
"This commitment is based on friendly China-U.S. cooperation and the rational and objective premise of bilateral trade," Ma told Xinhua on Wednesday.
"The current situation has already destroyed the original premise. There is no way to deliver the promise."
While Ma had not detailed how he would add those jobs, he has said that he wanted to encourage American small businesses to sell on Alibaba marketplace Tmall and Taobao, reasoning that every new business that joined the platform would have to hire a person to manage the extra sales.
Investors seemed unfazed by Ma's comments, with Alibaba shares closing up 3.8 percent on Wednesday. They have declined 5.7 percent so far this year, including those gains.
Trump on Monday imposed 10 percent
on about $200 billion worth of imports from China, and threatened duties on about $267 billion more if China retaliated.
China responded a day later with tariffs on about $60 billion worth of U.S. goods as planned, but reduced the level of tariffs it will collect on the products.
Ma's latest comments come on top of others he recently made about the escalating trade skirmish and show his support for Beijing's stance on how additional tariffs will affect businesses and the country's cornerstone One Belt One Road foreign policy initiative.
"The U.S. like competition, China likes harmony, they're two different cultures," Ma said at an investor conference in Shanghai on Tuesday.
Ma, expected to step down as Alibaba chairman in a year, predicted on Tuesday that trade frictions would lead to "a mess" for all parties involved.
He added U.S. tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese products could prompt the country to export elsewhere.
"We should work more in Africa, SEA (South East Asia), Europe," he said.

Comet Observing Programs
The visual observation of comets through binoculars or telescopes is mainly a recreational pursuit nowadays, although comets can still be discovered that way. With that in mind deep-sky observers should always be aware of the possibility that a faint fuzzy located in their telescopic field of view may be an undiscovered comet. That did in fact happen in 2001, to Vance Petriew of the Regina, Saskatchewan Centre, who realized that the object he was observing at the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party was not plotted on any atlas. After some careful checking, and assistance from Richard Huziak of the Saskatoon Centre, it was decided that the mysterious object should be reported through the proper channels. The news in return was positive, and Vance was declared the discoverer of Comet Petriew, designated C/2001 Q2. Congratulations to Vance, and hopefully there will be more comets discovered visually in Canada, but the odds of it are becoming less and less as the automated imaging systems become more widespread.
By observing comets one becomes more knowledgeable about the dynamics of our Solar System and about orbital motion. Actually tracking an comet across the sky as it orbits the Sun brings a sense of awareness that cannot be realized by any other means. It is one thing to hear about the existence of comets; it is another to see them for yourself in real time. Through real-time observation of comets, and by practicing magnitude estimates, you can become skillful enough to contribute important information to researchers. In many cases, even today, visual estimates are the most accurate and reliable way to judge the magnitude and size of a comet, especially the larger ones.
Using data from the RASC Observer's Handbook or from our Current Events page, you can practice identifying the brighter comets currently visible. Later, depending on the size of your telescope, you can gradually move on to fainter objects with the goal of being able to identify comets at the edge of visibility. By developing those skills you will have a much better chance of discovering a new comet, estimating a known one, or helping others to identify mysterious objects. A major benefit of all that will be a knowledge of the sky that is second to none.
Imaging techniques offer greater potential for the discovery of comets, but that is no reason to discourage visual searches. Visual searches can, in fact, be a great way to learn how to identify objects in the night sky that you may wonder about. Many known comets are floating around the Solar System, and usually a few are visible on any given clear night. If you come across an object that is not plotted on any atlas, the procedure to identify it is as follows:
- record the date and time of the observation
- the position in Right Ascension and Declination
- the estimated magnitude and size
- check for motion to confirm a comet or asteroid
With that information you can then refer to a database to see if there is a known comet or asteroid that fits that description.
A good way to get some experience in the fascinating world of comet observing is to try to find as many comets as possible, starting with the largest and brightest ones. A list of the largest and brightest comets, currently visible, is included each year in the RASC Observer's Handbook and on our Current Events page. Further information about other comets can be found through the International Comet Quarterly, the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers or the British Astronomical Association, all of which can be found on the Web from our Links page or below. A printable RASC Comet Observation Form is available from the Observing Forms page and you may photocopy as many as you wish. Note that those forms are for personal use, and for submitting observations to the RASC.
If you would like to report observations to other organizations, please use their forms. The RASC Observing Committee will recognize anyone who has observed a variety of different comets, as outlined in the suggested observing program featured below that was designed by Michael Holzer. Recognition will be in the form of an official letter of recognition for each level and we will include his or her name on a list of accomplished comet observers. To qualify simply fill out the required number of RASC comet observation forms available on the Observing Forms page, or equivalent, and then send photocopies of them to: RASC Observing Committee 203 - 4920 Dundas St West Toronto, Ontario Canada M9A 1B7.
Comet Observing Program
It is the intention of the RASC Observing Committee to promote hands-on visual observation as an educational and worthwhile experience. The serious study of comets for example, promotes a standard of excellence in the amateur community and makes us true custodians of astronomy - the noblest of the sciences. Likewise, future observers may benefit tomorrow from the knowledge we gain today.
Intermediate Level Objectives
Participants of this program will be required to observe five different comets on at least three separate occasions each during a cometary apparition. To insure uniformity and a high standard for visual comet observations, the comet observation forms provided by the Comet Section must be filled out during the observation and then submitted electronically or by regular mail to receive the official letter of recognition. Although there is no prerequisite necessary to begin working on this program, it is strongly recommended that one observes at least several deep-sky objects from the Messier Catalogue first.
When the intermediate level objectives have been achieved an official letter of recognition will be issued by the RASC and we will include his or her name on a list of accomplished comet observers. To qualify simply fill out the required number of RASC comet observation forms available on the Observing Forms page, or equivalent, and then send photocopies of them to: RASC Observing Committee 203 - 4920 Dundas St West Toronto, Ontario Canada M9A 1B7
Advanced Level Objectives
The next level will require the comet observer to gain a deeper familiarity with the night sky, as well as to become increasingly more intuitive toward the achievement of high quality comet observation skills. This special program requires the observation of an additional ten comets, with a minimum of five detailed observations of each individual comet. Also, visual magnitude estimates will be made of the comets during each observation by an appropriate method. It may be practical and beneficial to have some experience in making variable star magnitude estimates. In a spirit of discovery, we ask that participants of this unique program also log a minimum of two hours of dedicated visual comet searching under dark, moonless skies. Although a new comet may or may not be discovered during this time, the journey and sense of adventure is what really counts.
When the advanced level objectives have been achieved an official letter of recognition will be issued by the RASC and we will include his or her name on a list of accomplished comet observers. To qualify simply fill out the required number of RASC comet observation forms available on the Observing Forms page, or equivalent, and then send photocopies of them to: RASC Observing Committee 203 - 4920 Dundas St West Toronto, Ontario Canada M9A 1B7
Comet Report Form Instructions
The RASC comet observation forms are designed to help you make the most of your experience at the eyepiece. If you know basic information ahead of time such as location and the instrumentation that will be used for a particular observing session, these fields may be filled in ahead of time. However, it is very important to complete all fields pertinent to observational data ONLY at the time of observation. You will notice the circle provided for your eyepiece sketch. It is an integral part of the comet programs, and the best way to develop observing skills to last a lifetime. Please do not mistake this exercise for a strange nocturnal art class. The purpose of making simple and labelled eyepiece sketches greatly validates a given observation and provides a permanent record for visual comparisons to be made.
With the advent and proliferation of amateur CCD imaging, it remains that sketching exactly what one sees is the most effective way to record an astronomical observation. Due to the modest number of comets visible to the eye in moderate-sized telescopes per year from a given location, the completion of the two comet programs may take a while. Let this not be a source of discouragement. The best part of these involved comet programs is that the majority of your observation time can be spent participating in other programs of interest.
Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO)
The Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers has a Comets Section that will accept visual observations of minor planets and they have a recording form that you can download or print. We encourage RASC members and others to contribute observations to the ALPO whenever possible. The Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers has been collecting data for many years and it has an extensive database of observations that need to be updated on a regular basis. This would be a great project for a backyard astronomer.
British Astronomical Association
The British Astronomical Association also has an active comet observation program as part of its Comets Section and we would like to encourage our members and others to contribute observations to them. They have posted a recording form as well as handy email links to its section leaders right on their website; so it would be easy for you, if you are interested, to find out more information. You can find additional resources from several other good comet Internet sites listed on our Links page.

Lodging Tax
Amounts Collected by Local Governments, Calendar Year
Ohio's Revised Code permits local governments to levy a tax
on lodging furnished to transient guests by hotels and motels
within their jurisdiction. Municipalities or townships may
levy a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, plus an additional tax
of up to 3 percent if they are not located (wholly or partly)
in a county that has levied a lodging tax. Counties may levy
a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, but can not initiate such a
tax in any municipality or township located wholly or partly
within the county has levied the additional lodging tax.
In addition, Ohio law permitted the enactment of several
special lodging tax levies during a limited period of time.
During a three month period in 1985 counties were authorized
to enact an additional 3 percent lodging tax for convention
center construction (Lucas County enacted such a tax). During
a six month period in 1988 County Convention Facilities
Authorities were authorized to enact an additional 4 percent
lodging tax for financing a new convention or sports center
(Franklin County CFA enacted a 4 percent tax and the Guernsey
County CFA enacted a 3 percent tax). Counties were permitted
to enact an additional 1.5 percent lodging tax for port
authority educational and cultural facilities during a three
month period beginning in 1992 (Cuyahoga County enacted such
a tax for the rock and roll hall of fame). Finally counties
were authorized to enact an additional 1.5 percent lodging
tax for municipal educational and cultural facilities during
a three month period in 1993 (Summit County enacted such a
tax for the Inventure Place). The maximum combined tax rate
permitted in most locations is 6 percent. The special lodging
taxes imposed by Cuyahoga, Franklin, Guernsey and Summit
counties, though, bring the maximum combined rate in portions
of these counties to 7.5 percent, 10 percent, 9 percent and
7.5 percent, respectively.
For most municipalities and townships, revenue from the
lodging tax goes to the general revenue fund. However, for
municipalities or townships who levy the additional tax of up
to 3 percent, the revenues from the additional tax are
divided between the general revenue fund of the municipality
or township and the convention and visitors' bureau (at least
50 percent) operating in the county. Counties are required to
return to municipalities and townships within the county that
do not levy a lodging tax, a uniform percentage (not to
exceed 33 1/3 percent) of the revenue from the county lodging
tax generated within such municipalities or townships. The
remainder of the revenue is deposited in a separate fund to
be used for county convention and visitors' bureau expenses.
Forty-five counties, 76 townships and 107 municipalities
reported having lodging taxes for calendar year 1993.
Notwithstanding the special levies listed above, rates range
from 1.0 percent to 6.0 percent. Approximately 80 percent of
the lodging taxes reported were at a 3 percent rate. For
jurisdictions that produced revenue, lodging tax collections
for calendar year 1993 ranged from $661 in the City of Rocky
River (Cuyahoga County) to $7,568,041 in Franklin County,
with a statewide total of $54,535,469.

VATICAN CITY — The director of the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo told the Vatican newspaper that preparations are almost complete for the pope's expected arrival tomorrow evening: bushes have been re-potted, trees have been trimmed, flowers have been planted, walls have been painted and — he said — a piano tuner has come and gone.
Severio Petrillo, director of the villa — which includes the papal residence as well as gardens and a working farm — said he knows the pope has to wear a cast for another 20 days or so. But the pope's brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, is arriving, too, and he's a musician. For years, he was the director of the famous Regensburg Boys' Choir. And, besides, Petrillo said, piano playing could be part of the physical therapy the pope will do once the cast is off.
Petrillo also said that at Castel Gandolfo Saturday the pope would meet swimmers, divers, water polo players and other athletes participating in the July 17-Aug. 2 FINA World Championship in Rome. The pope's weekly general audience Aug. 5 also will be held at the papal villa, rather than at the Vatican, he said.

Summit Mountain Challenge: Fall Classic bike race closes summer series
The Summit Mountain Challenge bike racing series comes to a close this weekend with its seventh and final race, the Fall Classic.
Steeped in tradition, the race has been around since 1984, with a few year hiatus in the late '90s. It's evolved substantially over the years, according to Mike Zobbe, Summit Fat Tire Society vice president and former race director.
He said the original race was a single 14- to 15-mile course mostly on jeep roads during the early days of mountain biking, and long before Breckenridge's extensive trail network..
Under Zobbe's direction, in the mid-'80s it became a two-day, three-stage race and part of the Colorado Off Road Points Series. At one point, he said, it attracted over 500 competitors.
After a few years hiatus, Jeff Westcott and Maverick Sports Promotions brought the popular race back to life and into its modern form. It's now part of the Summit Mountain Challenge and a fitting close to the mountain bike racing season.
Sunday's race gets underway with a 10 a.m. start and includes a 16.6-mile short and 32-mile long course option. Both courses start on French Gulch Road at The Wellington Neighborhood and end in Carter Park in Breckenridge. There will also be a 12-mile junior boys and girls race.
With names like Heinous Hill and Nightmare on Baldy, the long course and its 4,600 feet of elevation gain will challenge even the fittest competitor as it wraps its way through the mountains East of Breckenridge. The course stretches from the Flume Trails northeast of town all the way down to Boroeas Pass and back to Carter Park. The smaller course cuts into the large course for the second half of it.

text: Look Who's Morphing is a collection of bizarre, funny, often menacing stories in which, along with his extended family, the central character undergoes a series of transformations, shape-shifting through figures drawn from film and television, music clips and video games, porn flicks and comics. He is Godzilla, a Muppet, and Whitney Houston's bodyguard; the Fonz, a robot, a Ford Bronco 4x4 - and, as a climax, a Gulliver-sized cock rock singer, played upon by an adoring troupe of sexy Lilliputians in short skirts and sailor suits and cheerleader outfits. Within these fantasies there is a deep intellectual and emotional engagement, a fundamental questioning of the nature of identity, and the way it constructs itself in a world dominated by the images of popular culture. – From the publisher's website.

Enter a Bill if You Have Recorded an Item Receipt in QuickBooks 2013
To enter a bill in QuickBooks 2013 when you've already recorded the receipt of the item for which the bill invoices you, follow these steps:
Choose the Vendors→Enter Bill for Received Items command.
QuickBooks displays the Select Item Receipt dialog box.
To identify the item receipt for which you're now recording a bill, select the vendor from the Vendor drop-down list.
Then, when QuickBooks displays a list of item receipts for the vendor, click the item receipt that corresponds to your bill. Next, click OK. QuickBooks displays the Enter Bills window for the item. QuickBooks fills out much of the Enter Bills window by using the information from the item receipt.
You may be able to skip Steps 3, 4, and 5 if your item receipt information correctly and completely fills the Enter Bills window.
Use the Date, Amount Due, and Bill Due fields to describe the invoice date, the invoice due date, and the invoice amount.
Optionally, use the Terms drop-down list to identify the payment terms and the Ref. No. box to identify the vendor's reference number. Next, if you want to, go ahead and provide a memo description for the bill by using the Memo box.
Use the Expenses tab of the Enter Bills window to identify the expenses that the bill represents.
To identify expenses, you supply the account number that should be debited, the amount, and, optionally, the Memo, Customer:Job, and Class information. The Expenses tab of the Write Checks window works the same way as the Expenses tab of the Enter Bills window.
Use the Items tab of the Enter Bills window to describe any items for which the vendor bills you.
For example, use the Item column to identify the thing that you purchased. Then use the Qty, Cost, and Amount columns to identify what the item cost. You can also use the Customer:Job column if you're tracking bills by customers. Be aware that the Items tab of the Enter Bills window works in the same way that Items tabs of other QuickBooks windows work.

Has anyone had any experience with learning Cantonese after there Mandarin was proficient or even learning both together?
Before I came to Taiwan I used to speak a bit of Cantonese with my wife's family. Now, as I speak
English with my wife, My Canto has disappeared.
I want to pick it up again but maybe should wait till my Mandarin is fairly fluent.
Any ideas?

WOTR: The Hopi and eagles share a long relationship
Writers on the Range
Understanding another religion is no easy business. Americans nowadays often fool ourselves that religions can be put on or off like a suit of clothes, and that our own world-view is not religious unless we say so. We – especially secular humanists – also claim superiority for our idea of "nature," an abstract space separate from everyday life, for leisure, imagination, or scientific observation. Here, we can safely root for our favorite charismatic species, while ignoring the destruction of others.
Moreover, our recent arrival in the West, displacing and often destroying native species – Homo sapiens, birds, and others – makes explaining unusual Native religions even more problematic. But arrogantly judging Hopi eagle-gathering without objective evidence or any personal knowledge does little for mutual understanding of people or environment.
The Hopis have dwelt on the Colorado Plateau for at least a millennium, and probably much longer. Their adaptation to a landscape of little water requires near-legendary toughness and respect for the natural environment. Hopi religion is fundamentally attuned to the environment and its metaphysical underpinnings. "A farmer in the desert never forgets God," as Vernon Masayesva puts it.
The strongest surviving indigenous tradition in North America, Hopi religion focuses on seasonal and daily attention to preserving the world in balance. Appeal to deity operates through prayer, song, and ritual. Like wafers and wine for Christian communicants, certain material elements are basic: cornmeal, tobacco-smoke, honey, and feathers. Pahos that include eagle feathers are perhaps the sine qua non, carrying human prayers to deities and ancestral spirits. Those prayers highlight renewing life for all species, including eagles.
"Eagles are our lifeline," as Percy Lomaquahu (whose name, coincidentally, means "beautiful eagle") used to put it. Without them, Hopis are cut off from their means to renew life forces. From a Hopi perspective, the world itself – not only locally, but globally – suffers serious problems without their religious intervention. Unsurprisingly, many Hopis see present ecological imbalance as caused by the absence of a similar environmental solicitude among their fellow humans.
Hopis have special relationships with many species, but eagles are qapaysoq hìitu, truly exceptional: eagles are human beings in another form. Each clan in each village only has certain nesting areas it may visit: the rules are strict, ensuring preservation of the population from year to year.
Before arriving at the Hopi mesas, the clans migrated from ancestral villages, whose ruins dot the Colorado Plateau. The route of its final migration remains sacred property, associated with the clan's ancestral spirits. It is only in these precincts where a clan may gather eagles. Eagles born at the clan nests reincarnate the ancestral spirits, answering the prayers of their descendants.
As recorded for more than a century, gathering is very careful, hedged about by taboos whose purpose is explicitly conservationist. On arrival in the village, the eaglet, treated as a human child, has its head washed, is given a personal name, and gifted with baby presents. From then on, it dwells tethered in a rooftop shelter, and is fed with rabbits hunted by young boys, until the Home Dance, when it watches the Katsina spirits perform and absorbs their song-prayers. At the ceremony's conclusion, the eagles are quietly taken to a private place and quickly suffocated, as painlessly as possible. Their spirits are sent home with the Katsinas until the following year, when both are petitioned to return with their blessing power. The eagles' bodies are taken to the kivas, where feathers are carefully plucked and arranged by religious purpose. Finally, they are buried in a special cemetery, identically to humans. Hopis treat no other species in this manner.
Eagles and Hopis have interacted for a very long time, as shown by prehistoric rock art along the Little Colorado River. The very basis of these practices requires that humans and raptors renew their relationship annually. It is complete anathema to Hopi interest that eagles should cease to be plentiful. With commissioned studies of raptor populations by wildlife biologists, the Tribe is committed to preserving and enhancing the species.
There is no evidence that the small number of eagles and other raptors Hopis gather – by official federal permit – has had any impact on species decline. Residential and municipal development on the Navajo Reservation and in nearby towns, and industrial development throughout the West, are, rather, the worry for raptor populations. Failure to address those factors is dodging the real issue. Self-righteous blame of Hopi eagle-gathering is myopic scapegoating, and neglects true threats to those species and possible means to avert them.
