- I registered my .me domain a couple of years ago and thought it would be best to have the .com equivalent as well. When I found out that Huge Domains has a monthly payment option, I jumped at the chance to secure my domain. Purchase was easy and within 24 hours I had DNS control to point my new domain where I needed it to go. Now anyone looking for a great classroom tool can get where they need to be! - Marcus Burnette, FlipQuiz.com, 3/22/2016
- I have owned another domain, www.OurLovableLabs.com very much like the one, www.OurLoveableLabs.com, I just bought from Huge Domains. This one was mass purchased with a number of other names about 10 years ago. I've been wanting this name since but it wasn't for sale until recently. I saw it for sale from other places for the same price, but Huge Domains was the only place that financed so I went with them. The domain name was $1895 and I really did not want to pay that much at one time, but $157 a month I won't even notice. Am very happy this domain name is finally mine as it should've been from the beginning!! - Lisa Imberi, OurLoveableLabs.com, 3/18/2016

I would like to build my own screened bottom bords but I am not sure what kind of construction I should go for.
Very simple and inexpensive, under $3+screen (not shown). Made from one 1x4, the stand is made from one 2x4. Screen the brownie pan and you have a catch trap that slides underneath. Slide a board between the SBB and the stand to close the screen on a cold night. PM me if you are interested in more information. 8-)
I have a downloadable pdf: "Building a Simplified Screened Bottom Board"http://tinyurl.com/SimplifiedScreenThe key feature of my design is building in two frame sub-assemblies, and using biscuit joiner to make the frames.

Hey everybody! What do you guys think is the most accurate jumpsuit available right now? I think I heard a while back that skygunbro's is pretty good, but I'm not completely sure... Thanks everyone!
Hey everybody! What do you guys think is the most accurate jumpsuit available right now? I think I heard a while back that skygunbro's is pretty good, but I'm not completely sure... Thanks everyone!
I think it's either skygunbro or bobamaker. Last I knew skygunbro's suits were awesome and so weren't boba makers. BUT skygunbro takes about a week and a half where bobamaker takes 5-6 weeks plus shipping from the UK
Yes I agree that Bobamakers prices do not work in the favor of them. Personally I have a BM jumpsuit and it is great, I just wish that it wasn't so expensive.
cool, thanks alot guys! I'm gonna be ordering my JP from BM sometime this month, so I guess I'll order a jumpsuit from him while I'm at it
Last edited by deadbolt; Sep 3, 2006 at 8:34 PM.
I just got my SGB jumpsuit and it fits like a glove ! It's very well made and accurate in color for a VERY reasonable price.
This is how I would approach this. I have had a BM, a SGB, and a SFP suit so I have a good perspective. GO with SGB if you live in a warm climate (I live in Florida). If you live in a cooler climate or where the seasons are dramatically different (like snow in the winter), go with BM. SGB suits are thinner so better suited to hot climates and BM suits are thicker for temperate areas. If you are thinking about a SFP suit, go hit yourself in the head with a tack hammer because it takes forever to get if you get it at all.
i've got a skygunbro suit. i LOVE the pattern, fit, and responsiveness of him. my only complaint is that the fabric is too thin. he's usually willing to make your suit out of fabric you provide, so that's easy to work around.
the thin fabric is comfortable, but i find that the hoses pull the sleeves out too much and that the shin tools bang around a bit.
overall though, i give him 2 big thumgs up!
its a catch 22......I was making them from heavy twill but I was getting complaints about them liking the suit but it being to hot once everything was on...so i went with a medium weight cotton which for the most part fits most needs...I can get twill still but its more per yard which makes the suit a little more price wise. And if you send me your own material i can make one from what is sent as well.
yeah, atleast with SGB, you can put clothes under if its cold out, but then if its hot, with the thickness on BM, you cant do much about it. Besides, SGB you wait a week, BM you wait a month and a half
I love my SGB suit. You supply him your accurate measurements, he makes you a suit that fits like a glove. There is nothing more comfortable than something custom tailored for you. On the other hand I think BM makes them to measurement also and they look awesome as well. Both guys are awesome to deal with, can't go wrong either way
thanks for all the kudos folks.....BM makes a very nice suit and differs from mine..in this hobby its nice to have options.I say look into both and decide which one suits your need better.
Also as a side note I can m,ake them from material that you provide so if you want a heavier suit then send me the material you pick out. I also am ordering some twill for some ESb suits. and looking for ROTJ twill.My standard suits are made of a medium weight pre-shrunk cotton which wear well and once you get all the other fett gear on its about just right temp.wise.

In June 2005, MasterCard announced that up to 40 million credit card holders were at risk of having their data stolen -- and 200,000 definitely had -- because of a Trojan on the computers of a credit card processing company. The processor, CardSystems Solutions, had improperly stored the card data, unencrypted, in order to do research on the transactions.

Ten Maryland communities have been awarded a total of more than $230,000 to design "green streets" that will reduce polluted stormwater runoff to the Chesapeake Bay and local rivers while creating green jobs in urban areas.
Baltimore City, Bladensburg, Capitol Heights, College Park, Colmar Manor, Cottage City, Edmonston, Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, University Park each received grants of $25,000-$35,000 to plan and design "green streets" in their communities.
A "green street" is a street that:
Communities can save $27 for every $1 invested in green infrastructure, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The Green Streets-Green Jobs Initiative grants are funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Chesapeake Bay Trust. For more information, visit the Trust's website.
The Chesapeake Bay has received a C-minus on the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's (UMCES) 2010 Bay Health Report Card. The 2010 grade is a 4 percent decrease from 2009, when the Bay's health received a C.
Higher rainfall – which led to increased stormwater runoff from the land – drove down scores for water quality and biological heath indicators. Researchers believe that two closely timed, large-scale weather events in winter 2010 played a role in the decrease.
The Bay's health is affected by many factors, including human activities and natural variations in rainfall, which is the major driver of runoff from farms, cities and suburbs. Even as pollution is reduced, higher rainfall and associated runoff can mask the effects of these improvements.
"One of the main drivers of annual conditions in Chesapeake Bay is river flow related to weather patterns," said UMCES-EcoCheck scientist Dr. Heath Kelsey. "While efforts to reduce pollution have been stepped up in recent years, nature overwhelmed those measures in 2010 and temporarily set the Bay back a bit."
The declines are the first observed since 2003 and are on par with conditions observed in 2007. Annual weather-related variability in scores, even as more pollution-reduction measures are put into place, is to be expected in a highly complex ecosystem like the Bay, according to Dr. Kelsey.
Overall, the Lower Bay's health score stayed relatively steady from 2009, while the Mid- and Upper Bay regions declined slightly. Results were fairly consistent in that declines were seen in most indicators.
The report card, based on data collected by state and federal agencies through the Chesapeake Bay Program, provides an independent analysis of Chesapeake Bay ecosystem health. It is expected that Bay Health Index scores will increase over time, as restoration and pollutant reduction activities are increased.
The report card analysis is conducted through the EcoCheck partnership between UMCES and the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office. In addition to the Bay-wide reportcard, UMCES works with local watershed organizations to develop river-specific report cards to give residents a creek-by-creek look at their local waters.
For more information about the 2010 Chesapeake Bay Health Report Card, including region-specific data, visit the Chesapeake EcoCheck website.
We've been getting a lot of rain in the Chesapeake Bay region this spring. One day after a rain storm a few weeks ago, we decided to go around the neighborhood to see what trash we could find on the street.
After an hour, we had picked up about half a garbage bag full of trash. Our route along an Annapolis street led us to a storm drain that was located directly above a small creek. All of the trash we picked up that day would eventually have gone into the storm drain and then into the creek it flows to. How? Rain!
Rain picks up trash and other pollutants and washes them into storm drains, which flow to our local streams, creeks and rivers. And our local waterways flow to the Chesapeake Bay. This is why you should always pick up your trash!
Waterman hauled up more than 10,000 derelict "ghost pots," lost fishing nets and other assorted metal from the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers this winter as part of Virginia's Marine Debris Removal Program.
In total, more than 28,000 ghost pots – abandoned crab pots that litter the Bay's bottom – have been removed over the past three years. Watermen removed more marine debris this year than in either of the last two years.
Ghost pots inadvertently trap and kill crabs, fish and other wildlife. Scientists have determined that each functional ghost pot can capture about 50 crabs a year. Ongoing research suggests 20 percent of all the crab pots set in a year are lost, primarily due to storms or boat propellers.
This year, a total of 9,970 ghost pots were recovered. In addition, 52 lost nets and 532 other pieces of junk were hauled up, including a jon boat, a portable generator frame and a large metal crate used to transport hunting dogs.
The recovered crab pots were found to have captured more than 11,000 animals, including thousands of crabs, as well as turtles, fish, eels and whelks. More than 27,000 animals, many already dead, have been found in ghost pots retrieved since 2008.
The removal program, funded by NOAA through the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and administered by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), pays out-of-work watermen to use side-imaging sonar units to detect and retrieve ghost pots and other marine debris. It is the first and largest program of its kind in the United States.

Dr. John Hittinger, professor of philosophy in the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas, will present his paper "The Vocation of the Christian Philosopher" at a conference sponsored by the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas in Vatican City. He will present his work on Saturday, June 30, in Casina Pio IV, Vatican City.
The conference, "The Thomistic legacy in Blessed John Paul II and his refounding of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas," includes presenters Monsignor Professor John Wippel of The Catholic University of America, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the former Vatican City Secretary of State, and many others.
The Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas celebrates the Blessed John Paul II's Encyclical Letter "Fides et ratio," which reinterpreted Aquinas' themes of truth, good and being, at the conference.
"In compliance with the Beatification of Pope John Paul II by Pope Benedict XVI, the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas would like to recognize this admirable work not only out of gratefulness but also as a commitment and mission," the Academy states in the prologue to the conference. "The Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas invites all of its academicians and all those who witnessed John Paul II's pontificate to unite in prayer and in the celebration of the happily reigning Benedict XVI, and to reflect on the special relationship between St. Thomas and the blessed John Paul II, the heavenly patrons of the Academy."
Hittinger founded the Pope John Paul II Forum for the Church in the Modern World in 2009. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1974 and completed his master's and doctoral degrees in the School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America. He also spent one year at the University of Dallas studying philosophy and politics. Hittinger has published four books and numerous articles and presented papers on a variety of topics including John Locke, Jacques Maritain, military ethics, liberal education, political philosophy and the thought of John Paul II.

Going out for a cup of coffee can cost you at least $3.
Why not invest in solar energy instead?
For only $3.35 a month you can develop a local, renewable energy resource
You will need to enter your account numbers to sign up for Solar One so have your City of Columbia utility bill handy or call 573-874-7380.
Solar energy is a wonderful renewable energy resource but more costly than other renewable options in our region. The cost of solar panels makes it cost prohibitive for the utility to invest in systems for Columbia's electric portfolio. The cost can also make it difficult for our customers to invest in solar systems. Columbia Water & Light started Solar One in 2008 to develop locally owned solar projects. The monthly Solar One fees pay for the extra cost of developing these solar projects in Columbia.
Solar One cost $3.35 a month for a 100 kilowatt hour block of energy. Columbia Water & Light electric customers can purchase up to nine blocks of Solar One power. When you sign up for the program, the Solar One charges will be added to you monthly utility bill. You will still pay the normal rate for the electricity you use. Click here to sign up for Solar One.
Solar One energy is generated through solar systems located on city-owned property or at Columbia businesses. By working with local businesses, Columbia Water & Light can provide more solar energy at a lower cost. Columbia's commercial buildings have large roof tops with good solar exposure. Businesses can also take advantage of incentives for installing solar panels that are not available to the utility. Columbia Water & Light purchases the solar energy from businesses through a power purchase agreement. Solar energy is being generated at Quaker Oats, Bright City Lights and from solar systems located behind the West Ash Pumping Station on Bernadette Drive.
The Solar One projects can generate up to 36.8 kilowatts which amounts to around 40,000 kilowatt hours. To get an idea of how much energy our Solar One projects are generating, a residential customer uses an average of 788 kilowatt hours of electricity in one month.
Columbia Water & Light offers solar energy system rebates and low-interest loans for electric customers.

Hey everybody-
Trying my first attempt at building my own armor. I'm starting with the bucket first and I'm only in the design/template making phase, but I was curious if anyone has any suggestions on materials. I'm on a budget and I do not have a time table for completion, but I'm a stickler for details and quality is important to me. I'm not oppose to any certain method, but would like to build as much of it on my own as possible. I'm very much a novice so I have my work cut out for me. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

November 18, 2012
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- One basket into the second half, Tennessee had a stunning 27-point lead over Miami.
The Lady Vols nearly wasted it all before snapping the Hurricanes' 41-game home winning streak.
Bashaara Graves scored 20 points, Andraya Carter added 16 and No. 24 Tennessee held on to top No. 23 Miami 79-67 on Sunday, becoming the first road team to win on the Hurricanes' home floor since Feb. 21, 2010.
``We didn't want to lose the lead the way we did, but we finished with a `W,''' said Tennessee's Cierra Burdick, who had 10 rebounds. ``And that's what matters. This was a big-time win against a big-time opponent, on the road, so I'm nothing but proud of my team.''
Ariel Massengale added 14 points and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the foul line for the Lady Vols (3-1). Tennessee closed the first half on a 23-4 run to take a 46-21 lead, then scored the opening basket for what was its largest lead of the game, and still was ahead by 25 points with less than 13 minutes remaining before Miami started its comeback.
Michelle Woods scored 17 points and Morgan Stroman added 13 for Miami (2-1), which missed 18 of its first 20 shots. The Hurricanes got within six on a pair of free throws by Stefanie Yderstrom with 2:30 left, but no closer.
``I told them, this second half is going to define our season,'' Miami coach Katie Meier said. ``We're going to know who we are.''
Tennessee's lead was still 25 - 58-33 - with 12:28 remaining after Taber Spani connected on a 3-pointer. For whatever reason, that's when Miami started to click.
The Hurricanes scored the next 11 points, Woods starting the run with a pair of jumpers, and got the lead down to 58-44 with 8:50 left. And just when it seemed like Tennessee had some order restored, going up by 18 again after Graves scored with 6:34 remaining, the Hurricanes started rolling again.
This time, the Miami run was 16-4, the last four of those points coming at the foul line by Yderstrom, who got Miami within 71-65. A layup by Stroman with 1:18 left got the Hurricanes within six again, before Tennessee scored the game's final six points.
``They're a good team,'' Burdick said. ``Nobody's going to lay down just because we have Tennessee across our chest. That's one of the things we're learning as we go throughout the season. Miami's a great team, ranked Top 25, this was a Top 25 matchup. Just for us to come in and be the underdogs and get this win on the road, that's great. It's a great win for our program.''
Tennessee shot 42 percent, compared with only 32 percent by the Hurricanes. Miami's starting five shot a combined 13-for-49 from the floor, including a 2-for-15 effort from 3-point range, and the Hurricanes missed 13 of their 32 free throws.
Still, Meier said she took some consolation from the fact that Miami turned a blowout into a two-possession game down the stretch.
``I do. I mean, I have to, but I do,'' Meier said. ``I honestly do believe it. We've got some people being asked to do things that they've never done before.''
- The starters for the Hurricanes were Krystal Saunders, Stefanie Yderstrom, Morgan Stroman, Michelle Woods and Shawnice Wilson.
- Maria Brown scored Miami's first field goal with 15:03 remaining in the first half. Brown went 2-of-3 from the field, grabbed eight rebounds and scored four points.
- Michelle Woods put up 17 points and has scored in double-digits in each game this season, including a career-high 20 points against Richmond.
- Morgan Stroman scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
- All of Stefanie Yderstrom's nine points came within the final 5:25 of the game, helping to spark a late Canes rally. After leading the ACC last season with 63 three-pointers, she converted on her first three of the season.
- Miami fought back to within 6 points with 2:30 remaining in the game, coming back from a 27-point deficit with 30 seconds elapsed in the second half.
- With this loss, the Hurricanes snapped a 41-game win streak at the BankUnited Center.

I need to know where I can buy a pair of wrist gaunlets for under $25.That or make some out of cardboard or wood.NO SINTRA!I know some of you are sintra crazy...
I need to know where I can buy a pair of wrist gaunlets for under $25.That or make some out of cardboard or wood.NO SINTRA!I know some of you are sintra crazy...
Unless someone on the board has an old pair lying around, I doubt you can build or buy them for under $25, without using plastic. And why not Sintra (or other plastic)? More durable than cardboard, and lighter than wood. Several members have built outstanding Sintra gauntlets for a fraction of the price of a kit.
Welcome to the Forum!
I'm relatively new to the board here, but I think the $25 budget may be pushing it...
However maybe there is a cardboard solution out there.
I know BradleyFett has done kits in the past that are reasonable (Not quite $25, but far less than some that are in the $150-200 range...)
Maybe someone on the board has an economical solution for you.
-Good Luck
ok guys i will push up the $25. Just give me something cheap.
And I will consider sintra.
I have the first set of home-made gauntlets I ever made. I could let them go for $25 shipped within the U.S. PM me if you are interested.
I replied to your PM,with another offer.
actually i purchased a 4'X 8" sheet of 1/8" sintra for 30 bucks.i only used half of that for my entire costume.you can make your gauntlets for very cheap if you have the have the patience and manhours to do so.if you tackle our own scratchbuilt gauntlets be prepared..its a pain in the arse
got any tips on sintra gauntlets? how do you shape them?
We are currently working on sintra gauntlets but haven't finished them yet. We basically are going to layer it up after making the basic cup shape around the arm. To shape the sintra, we are going to use a heat gun but others have used boiling water.
This thread has some good tips on how to make wood and sintra gauntlets. http://tdh.prop-planet.com/viewtopic...c=5827&forum=4
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
thank you.
rimshot,pm-ed you.
guys I still need help! i am not buying rimshots ganuts.
Hey jangoboba,
Sintra is great to work with and can be cut with a safety knife (a.k.a. box cutter) up to about 1/8" thickness. I have done some basic gauntlets which I am still perfecting.
I scored some nice vacuformed gauntlets off the Cargo bay for $50 a while back because one was unfinished and one was damaged. You just have to keep an eye out.
I also believe Phantom Viper has some templates for gauntlets you may ask him about.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help.
yeah. know anything about the knee pads?
I can email you my templates but my knee templates need a major overhaul.
Sintra knees are decent but, like the cod piece, a vacuformed set will give you greater accuracy. I got my cod from batninja who is an awesome guy. You might try him to see if he makes knees and gauntlets as well.
I would use the sintra. $25 bucks really does get you a lot of sintra. I remember a member on the board made gauntlets with plastic 5 gallon pails. They looked really good. Sorry....I can't remember exactly who that was that did them.
that was phantom viper I believe, he also made the bucket armor. I made my first set of armor from a bucket and it came out pretty well, even though I cut my finger with the xacto knife and bled all over the armor
Yup, that was me. never did finish them. I started working with sintra after that.

Wait until she is done her cycle.
And I agree don't let her loose. If she has proven to be an escape artist in the past don't leave her in the yard alone and risk her getting out and finding a handsome boyfriend.
I never spay any of our girls as we are breeders so all of our girls have "panties" that we line with panty liners to avoid getting blood on the furniture etc. Be sure to change the pads as needed to avoid infections.
If her brother is an intact male then I would suggest keeping them separated as well, otherwise you may end up with some illegitimate love puppies
Good luck with your girl
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Follow what the vet said and don't let her run loose. Plenty of people who have intact females and are able to handle it. I guess the key is don't let her run around on her own. If you have chained linked fence, I would not leave her in the yard alone. They have been know to mate through the links.
Good luck!
5 month old puppy in heat?
This is my first time owning a puppy bought from a breeder. I adopted animals before but through rescue and all the spay/ neuter was taken care of.
Anyway, I have a 5 month old GSD that is supposed to be spayed in 1.5 week. I've noticed that the hair around her vulva has some brown sticky stuff stuck to it, looks like dry blood. I also found a blood stain on my comforter after she played on my bed with her brother (it could be her period, it could also be her new teeth coming in). I am not sure if she's in heat. I never paid attention to the size of her vulva, so I am not sure if it's swollen, and I've never seen blood actually coming out of her vagina. All I've seen is some brown residue stuck on her hair that I did not see before. Basically, I'm doubting myself T_T
So, I called the vet and they want to reschedule her spaying until next month. They say spaying during heat is more risky and of course more expensive. I am not sure if we should just go ahead and have her spayed in 1.5 week or wait until 1 month later. What do you guys think?
If we'd go with a month later, what do I do with a crazy dog in heat?

Syria: UN welcomes Kuwaiti donation, massive gaps still remain
Seven UN humanitarian agencies and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have welcomed funding from the Government of Kuwait to support their response to the Syria crisis. But aid groups still need almost US$5.3 billion to support people affected by the crisis in 2014.
At ceremonies in Geneva and New York on Monday 7 April, representatives from the agencies thanked His Highness the Amir of Kuwait and the Kuwaiti government and people for their generosity. The aid groups received a combined $204.5 million in funds to support the millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by the conflict in Syria.
In total, Kuwait disbursed $249.5 million to humanitarian agencies including both the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross and NGOs.
"Kuwait's contribution to the work of the United Nations and the international humanitarian system goes beyond financial donations," said UN Deputy Humanitarian Chief, Kyung-wha Kang.
"Through the generosity of His Highness the Amir and the Kuwaiti Government, Kuwait hosted two very successful high-level international humanitarian pledging conferences for Syria in the space of almost one year."
$5.3 billion still needed in 2014
Ms. Kang said that with Kuwait's contribution, some 45 per cent of the pledges made at the 2014 Syria Humanitarian Pledging Conference in January have been fulfilled.
"Timely funding, like this donation from Kuwait, is essential to ensure that supply pipelines are not interrupted and we can use the most economical routes to bring these supplies in," Ms. Kang said.
However, UN humanitarian appeals for Syria and the region remain severely underfunded. Aid groups working in Syria and in countries housing Syrian refugees have received only 20 per cent of the $6.5 billion they need in 2014. They still require $5.3 billion.

The Chiefs have already said that wide receiver Dwayne Bowe won't play this Sunday against the Raiders, but what will he do for the rest of the season? According to ProFootballTalk.com, Bowe should make himself comfortable on the sidelines because he won't play again until 2013. PFT was told by a league source Monday that Bowe will be placed on season-ending injured reserve as a result of the broken ribs he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Fantasy Analysis:
Jon Baldwin and Terrance Copper will replace Bowe as the Chiefs' primary outside wide receivers, but they aren't worth a good, deep look in fanatasy leagues with 12 teams or less. Bowe's time in Kansas City is probably up since he is a free agent at the close of the season. He and his fantasy owners will want to forget his 2012 season, but if Bowe can get paired up with just a decent quarterback in an offense with a major need at wideout, he should return to being a fine WR2 at least.

Enhance observing efficiency with the affordable Set of Four Orion 2" Parfocal Rings!
Most amateur astronomers use a number of different telescope eyepieces when viewing the night sky through a telescope. When using different 2" eyepieces, you probably find yourself adjusting your telescope focuser each time you change eyepieces in order to enjoy a crisp view. There are many different 2" telescope eyepiece designs available, and most are not parfocal with one another. This means you have to adjust the telescope focuser every time you swap out 2" eyepieces to achieve a precisely focused view.
Increase your viewing efficiency affordably by using our Set of Four Orion 2" Parfocal Rings with your telescope eyepieces. Our rugged, machined 2" parfocal rings allow you to make an assortment of non-parfocal 2" telescope eyepieces parfocal by setting the depth of each eyepiece barrel in the focuser to the same exact focus point. Think of the time you can save while observing - no more painstaking, not to mention image-shaking, focus adjustments needed!
Each black anodized and machined aluminum parfocal ring in the Set of Four Orion 2" Parfocal Rings features three equidistant cup-point setscrews for fixed, secure attachment to a 2" eyepiece barrel. Use one parfocal ring on each 2" telescope eyepiece to set the depth of its 2" barrel into the focuser at the exact focus point, and lock the parfocal ring in place with the setscrews using the included hex key.
Get the affordable, time-saving Set of Four Orion 2" Parfocal Rings and discover how efficient parfocal stargazing can be. Are you sure one set will be enough?

RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO-- The North Carolina men's golf team opened up their spring season at the Puerto Rico Classic on Sunday and is in seventh place following the first round. The Tar Heels finished the afternoon at 3-over-par 291 with a great performance from senior and Southern Pines, N.C. native, Michael McGowan, who fired a 2-under-par 70 and is tied for tenth in the individual leaderboard.
McGowan was backed up by a solid effort from sophomore Bailey Patrick out of Charlotte, N.C. Patrick ended at even-par 72 but was 3-under-par until his last three holes, where he bogeyed all three ending in a tie for 21st overall. Andy Sajevic, a junior from Fremont, Neb., sits at tied for 36th after the first round where he carded five bogeys and three birdies to end up 2-over-par. Sophomore Brandon Dalinka finished at 3-over-par after shooting even-par on the front nine. Dalinka, from Newtown, Pa., is tied for 44th after Sunday's round. Rounding out the team is Patrick Barrett who shot 6-over-par 78. The senior from Pinehurst, N.C. is tied for 61st and looks to move up during Monday's round. Overall the Tar Heels had a hard time closing the round off well as the team combined to go 5-over-par on the players' last hole.
Head Coach Andrew Sapp commented on the team's performance on Sunday, "We got off to a solid start today which is important, but unfortunately gave some shots away at the end of the round. There were definitely some positives out there and Michael had a really nice 70. We just need to finish our round off better tomorrow so we can move up the leader board."
Alabama is in first place among the 15-team field after shooting a 9-under-par 279. Oklahoma is not far behind, only trailing by one stroke entering into the second round. Right on Oklahoma's tail is Clemson who shot a 7-under-par 281 to take third place. Georgia Tech and SMU round out the top-five after Georgia Tech finished 2-under 286 and SMU 1-under 287. Georgia stands between North Carolina and SMU after shooting a 2-over-par 290.
Billy Kennerly, from Clemson, is atop the leaderboard with a 5-under-par 67 after hitting in six birdies and an eagle. There are three players tied for second at 4-under 68 - Oklahoma's Eduardo Castiello and Beau Titsworth and SMU's Austin Smotherman. Five players are tied for fifth place at 3-under-par 69 - Augusta State's Maverick Antcliff, Clemson's Crawford Reeves, Georgia Tech's Seth Reeves, and Alabama's Tom Lovelady and Scott Strohmeyer.
The 54-hole event continues through Tuesday at Rio Mar Country Club's River Course in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The course features a par 72, 6,945-yard layout. Live scoring is available on Golfstat.com. Tee times can be seen in the PDF attached to this article.

Yesterday, Acxiom, one of the world's largest data brokers and a key player in the marketing services ecosystem, launched an important new consumer service (still in Beta) called "About The Data." It's an initiative to show consumers some of the data that Acxiom has compiled about them, to provide education around how certain types of data are sourced and used, and to let users correct and/or suppress the use of these datapoints for marketing purposes.
This is a big deal. Why? Because it's pushing Acxiom (and, frankly, the entire third-party data industry) way out of its comfort zone on a few levels.

Wouldn't it be nice if your name were a unique identifier and nobody else had the same name as you? Unfortunately, most of us share our names with a number of other people, most of whom we have never met and never will. But we have all probably experienced the challenge and frustration of trying to find a specific person from a list of people with the same name. Remember when we used phone books? Trying to pick out the person you needed from a listing of multiple names? Actually, searching the internet doesn't make this process any easier.
At the legendary 1987 American Physical Society conference, sometimes called the "Woodstock of physics", thousands of physicists descended upon a New York Hilton ballroom to hear about the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) in ceramic materials.

Nearly 77 years later, walking toward the snack stand operated by a blind vendor, the irony always occurs to me as I read an unusual brass plaque on the hallway that commemorates the origin of the Human Genome Project and its champion, Dr. Charles DeLisi. The irony is that Rick, the blind vendor who could one day benefit from that project, cannot see the plaque.
It takes individuals with an almost futuristic vision, able to counter criticism by those with less foresight, to take leaps of faith to establish such a far-reaching effort such as the Human Genome Project. Dr. DeLisi was apparently such a person.
Dr. DeLisi, then Director of the Office of Health and Environmental Research at the Department of Energy, recognized the available technology and came up with the idea to sequence the human genome in 1985.
The National Library of Energy(Beta): A Gateway to Information about the "All-of-the-Above" Energy Strategy
While I have not taken a formal survey, my experience over many years as a Department of Energy (DOE) employee suggest to me that most people have no idea what DOE does. Let me amend that. Many people know exactly what we do. DOE controls the price of gas at the pump; it manages natural gas drilling, builds pipe lines and regulates refineries. As it turns out, people know a great deal about DOE, it's just that most of it is dead wrong.
Look it up and you'll find that "[t]he mission of the Energy Department is to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions." Hmm. Nothing about gas prices there.
Once you get a bead on the DOE mission you are ready to mine its extraordinary set of resources.
American Citizens Need Basic Research
Some time ago, a friend, a young father of two, lay in a hospital bed seriously ill. The physician said there was no treatment. The pancreas was secreting substances that were digesting itself and destroying surrounding tissue. Some patients recover on their own; others do not.
Natural laws may allow some remedy which will assist the body's own defenses and cause the pancreas to heal. If there was such a remedy, why did the physician not use it? The answer is the lack of knowledge -- not of just one physician, but of the medical profession as a whole. Unless the physician is a researcher, he waits for others to discover the remedy. He waits because no predecessor mastered the natural laws which govern the pancreas.
The young father in my story is a real person. His name is Vince Dattoria.

Thanks to Alona for thinking of this Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge I am continuing, a bit late, with F.
My Grandfather, William George Busby, loved his football.
He followed the Fortitude Valley Team known as the Diehards although they were generally just known as Valleys.
I am sure modern supporters would like to pay $1.50 for a Grand Final ticket!
As part of his football fever he played the Courier Mail's Find the Ball competition every week. A photo was published of a moment in a game with the image of the ball removed. You had to guess where the ball was to win a weekly prize. The prize was quite good, as was generally over a thousand pounds.
Finally in the week 30 October 1954 he hit the jackpot! That week the prize would be
As you can imagine there was lots of excitement in the house with plans being made as to what to buy.
There was only one slight problem:
So his share was only 127 pounds, still a nice windfall but not the jackpot for which he had been hoping!
The dreams had to be reined in a bit but he did use the money to buy Grandma a nice watch!

'Whatever rest Lemieux got last night looked like it might be awfully fitful after Alexei Zhitnik gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead with a five-on-three power play goal at 4:52 of the first period. The Penguins, after all, were averaging just two goals per game, and Buffalo can be awfully stingy. But the Penguins finished the period with a 16-9 edge in shots and adjourned to the locker room reasonably confident in their chances of winning.'
Penguins slip past Sabres in 3-1 victory
