|Choosing Life in a Death Penalty
A question of innocence
The Birmingham News: Editorial Board
November 09, 2005
Anthony Ray Hinton
You can hold Anthony Ray Hinton's life in the palm of your hand.
Six mangled lead slugs, supposedly fired from a rusty, Smith & Wesson .38 special found in his mother's home near Dora, sent Hinton to Death Row in 1986. Police recovered the spent slugs from victims of a string of robbery/murders at fast-food restaurants in the Birmingham area in 1985. Jefferson County prosecutors used that evidence to help convince a jury Hinton committed the crimes and should be put to death.
Hinton's lawyers believe those slugs and others tested by firearms experts they hired provide ammunition that ultimately could prove Hinton innocent and free him after 19 years on Alabama's Death Row. Hinton would become the sixth Death Row inmate exonerated in the past dozen years.
"I absolutely think the evidence surrounding his case is some of the most disturbing and troubling in a death penalty case here in Alabama," said Bryan Stevenson, Hinton's lead lawyer and the executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama, which represents poor people on Death Row. "I don't think there's any question he's innocent."
Bob McGregor, who led Hinton's prosecution for the Jefferson County district attorney's office, doesn't think there's any question either - that Hinton is guilty.
"I've never had a case in my life that I've been so absolutely convinced by the evidence," he said. "I had referred to Anthony Ray Hinton (during trial) as one of the coldest killers who ever walked a sidewalk in Jefferson County. I haven't changed my opinion in the slightest."
Twenty years later, McGregor describes Hinton as "one of the most evil people" and a "sociopathic jerk." He said Stevenson is "selectively extracting information" to build a case for Hinton's innocence, while ignoring damning testimony and evidence.
Fatally flawed:
Good people can argue the cases of the five men already emancipated from Death Row and reach different conclusions about their guilt or innocence. But good people should be outraged Alabama's capital punishment system is so fatally flawed that five men convicted of capital murder have walked free since 1993 and, if Hinton's lawyers are right, he will, too. Those who value life must demand at minimum a fair, impartial system designed to prevent the abhorrent possibility of the state killing an innocent person.
Since 1973, 121 inmates in 25 states have been released from Death Row, according to the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C. In addition, thanks to DNA testing, dozens of others have been cleared in nondeath-penalty cases - exonerations that have called into question the reliability of eyewitness accounts, co-defendant testimony and even confessions in all kinds of criminal cases.
To put it simply, our system of justice isn't as foolproof as many of us once thought. That's why more than a dozen states have launched reviews of the death penalty, as more and more people come to understand that bias, poor legal representation, questionable tactics by authorities and charged emotions can send innocent people to jail and potentially to their deaths, while leaving guilty people walking the streets.
Based on trial court transcripts and filings and interviews with both sides in the Hinton case, there is no way to know beyond a reasonable doubt whether he is innocent. But Hinton's lawyers raise several troubling issues that question whether he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt - the standard the law requires.
Hinton, by his own admission, didn't stand a chance at his September 1986 trial. Police had arrested him the year before on charges of robbing and murdering assistant managers at a Mrs. Winner's on Southside and a Captain D's in Woodlawn. Sidney Smotherman, a night manager at Quincy's in Bessemer, survived a similar attempt. Smotherman's description of his assailant resulted in a police sketch that a Quincy's employee who knew Hinton immediately identified as Hinton, leading to his arrest.
No fingerprints or other physical evidence from any of the scenes linked Hinton to the crimes, and he passed a polygraph test, which wasn't allowed into evidence. But prosecutors, armed with testimony from state forensics experts, argued the six bullets used in the three crimes all came from the same gun - the .38 pistol with a rusty barrel taken from the home of Hinton's mother.
As damaging as that was, Hinton, who was on parole after serving time for theft, believes the death blow to his case came from his own ballistics "expert," hired in desperation by Sheldon Perhacs, Hinton's court-appointed lawyer. Perhacs had contacted several out-of-state experts about testifying, but he said they turned him down because the amount of money the court provided wouldn't cover their fees.
Hinton's expert, Andrew Payne, who has since died, was a civil engineer with a military background. Payne testified he didn't think the bullets came from the gun found in Beulah Hinton's home.
But the prosecutor shredded Payne on cross-examination like a corporate wrongdoer destroys damning documents.
Payne admitted he never test-fired the Hinton firearm to compare test bullets to recovered slugs; he didn't know how to turn on the state Department of Forensic Sciences microscope and repeatedly had to ask for help operating it; he couldn't even see the bullets under the microscope for most of his analysis.
The cross-examination ended like this:
"Mr. Payne, do you have some problem with your vision?"
"Why, yes."
"How many eyes do you have?"
During closing arguments, the prosecutor reminded jurors of the one-eyed "charlatan" whose testimony was "startling and disturbing, alarming and almost sickening."
Hinton knew he was doomed.
"The way the prosecutor chewed him up ... not a jury in hell would have found me not guilty," Hinton said recently to Daniel Farbman, a law student working with Stevenson. (The Department of Corrections turned down a request from The News to interview Hinton.)
"Man, I cried for my expert. ... You have a man's life on the line, and this is what you give him for an expert?" Hinton said.
On Sept. 19, 1986, jurors deliberated for about two hours and convicted Hinton on two counts of capital murder. They voted 10-2 that Hinton be sentenced to death, and Circuit Judge James Garrett obliged.
But Hinton's lawyers over the years, most recently Stevenson and EJI, believe they have raised issues that damage the prosecution's case. Among the most compelling:
Three nationally known forensics experts, including the former chief of the FBI's firearm and toolmark identification unit, dispute the crucial trial testimony of two former state forensics employees. While the two state firearms experts testified at trial they matched the six recovered bullets to Hinton's gun, Lannie Emanuel, Raymond Cooper and John Dillon Jr. say they cannot match the bullets to a single gun, nor can they match the Hinton weapon to any of the six bullets. Emanuel and Cooper work at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas. Dillon, formerly with the FBI, is a recent president of the Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners. The three, who almost always testify for prosecutors, testified in a 2002 hearing before Garrett that Hinton's weapon was mechanically incapable of firing the bullets recovered in the Smotherman crime.
The firearm and toolmark association's ethical rules require that when examiners reach different conclusions, they work to resolve them. Emanuel in the hearing said he asked the former state forensics department director who testified at Hinton's trial "if he would show us what he had seen, what he had ... used to make his determination ... they were all fired from the same gun."
"He declined," Emanuel said.
Prosecutors didn't give Hinton's trial lawyer evidence that could have helped his defense, as they are required to do, Stevenson said. For example, prosecutors didn't tell Hinton's lawyer about a detective's interview with a Quincy's employee who went with Smotherman to a nearby Food World after they closed the restaurant. The employee said the detective attempted to coerce him into identifying Hinton from a lineup and placing him at Food World. Also, Stevenson said, state forensics employees didn't turn over ballistics worksheets that show they had questions about what are known as "class characteristics" of the six slugs recovered from the crime scenes that calls their testimony into question.
"That's not necessarily true, because the experts at trial said they made their match on striations," said Corey Maze, an assistant attorney general handling the prosecution's case on appeal. "The experts always testified they were not sure on class characteristics. So the worksheets are completely consistent (with their testimony)."
Striations are microscopic markings on bullets that ballistics experts use to match bullets to each other and to a weapon. At trial, state forensics experts said they matched those striations from the recovered bullets to test bullets fired from Hinton's gun, Maze said. But none of Hinton's experts could find striations on the recovered bullets, and the state's original test bullets have been lost.
Hinton, a temporary employee at the Bruno's warehouse in Ensley, arrived at work on the night of the Smotherman shooting at 11:57 p.m. and was clocked in at 12 a.m., his time card and trial testimony from his supervisor showed. Hinton received his work assignment at 12:10 a.m., and his supervisor checked on him a half hour later and "at least three times" in Hinton's first two hours of work. Smotherman and several Quincy's employees left the restaurant at about 12:14 a.m. He and two employees stopped at Food World, in which one employee testified he saw Hinton, and left at 12:26 a.m., according to Smotherman's cash register receipt. Smotherman's assailant then bumped his car from the rear, forced him out of his car and made Smotherman go with him back to the restaurant, where he was robbed and shot.
The state's theory:
For the state's theory to work, Hinton would have had to sneak out of the Bruno's warehouse, drive to Quincy's and follow Smotherman to Food World, commit the crime and be back at the warehouse by 12:40. The warehouse in Ensley is 15 miles from the Bessemer Quincy's.
"Being locked into a secure facility 15 miles away is about as good as it gets," Stevenson said.
But not good enough. Assistant AG Maze suggests Hinton could have been signed in without actually being at work, plus there was trial testimony that people could slip out undetected.
"There's really no proof it was actually Hinton that signed in," Maze said.
There's no proof, if you ignore the testimony of Tom Doll, who supervised Hinton and other temporary employees. Doll, now a math teacher at Collinsville High School in DeKalb County, said there is no way Hinton is guilty.
"I really don't see how he could have done this. It's amazing," Doll said. "I think about him often. I hope the best for him."
This past January, 2½ years after the hearing, Garrett signed the proposed order the attorney general's office wrote, refusing to overturn Hinton's conviction or death sentence.
June 10, Stevenson appealed the ruling to the Alabama Criminal Court of Appeals with a 120-page brief that begins: "Anthony Ray Hinton is innocent. Mr. Hinton seeks expedited review because he has been on Death Row for 19 years for two capital murders he did not commit."
The state countered in its Aug. 26 response that "Hinton was guilty in 1986, and he is still guilty today. Simply wrapping an old defense in a new cover does not prove innocence. Beneath the new wrapping still lies the same defense and evidence previously rejected by the jury."
Stevenson sought oral arguments, which the court granted, setting a hearing for Nov. 15. That's a small victory, he said. The ultimate victory for Hinton, of course, would be for the court to order his immediate release, Stevenson said.
The criminal appeals court - Presiding Judge H.W. "Bucky" McMillan, and Judges Sue Bell Cobb, Pam Baschab, Greg Shaw and Kelli Wise - must weigh seriously Hinton's claims of innocence, even as they make sure the state's case is as ironclad as McGregor and the attorney general's office say it is.
Among questions the judges must consider: How were state forensics experts able to match the six slugs to each other and to test bullets fired from the same gun when national experts were unable to replicate their findings? Why won't the state's experts work with the national experts to resolve their differences? How could Hinton have clocked in to work at midnight and been assigned his tasks at 12:10 a.m. on the night of the Smotherman shooting, yet driven to Quincy's 15 miles away in just four minutes?
For the court to take on these types of questions may well be, as the state argues, a request by Hinton for "a five-juror retrial." But when a man who could be innocent faces execution, how could the court possibly do otherwise?
Attorney General Troy King said if there is any evidence of innocence in a Death Row case, "I would go to the court myself" - much like he did to argue for death sentences in the recent high-profile cases of Kerry Spencer, who killed three Birmingham policemen, and Westley Devon Harris, convicted of gunning down six members of his girlfriend's family.
Anthony Ray Hinton's next day in court is Tuesday. King should make it a point to attend.

MU's Pressey chosen second-team all-SEC by AP
Three Missouri players — Phil Pressey, Laurence Bowers and Alex Oriakhi — were honored Monday on the Associated Press All-SEC team.
Pressey, a junior point guard, was chosen to the second team, while senior forwards Bowers and Oriakhi received honorable mention. Pressey averages 11.6 points per game and leads the SEC in assists with 7.1 per game, while Oriakhi averages 11.1 points and a team-high 8.6 rebounds per game. Bowers, who missed five conference games because of a knee injury, averages a team-high 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
Missouri, 23-10, is one of three SEC teams to make the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers, who are seeded ninth in the Midwest Region, will face eighth-seeded Colorado State in the round of 64 at 8:20 p.m. Thursday at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky.
Missouri coach Frank Haith said he will be relying on Pressey, Oriakhi and Bowers — the only Tigers who have played in the NCAA Tournament before — to help the Tigers get mentally prepared.
"Phil played great last year in the Norfolk State game in Omaha and obviously Laurence has been to the NCAA tournament and Alex won a national championship, so I think those guys are talking to our players about (taking it) one game at a time," Haith said. "I know it's coach speak, but I think that's the way you got to look at it."

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Cash payment or annuity?
With the Powerball jackpot at $250 million, a lot of people are contemplating whether they would want a one-time payment of $137 million or if they want $250 million spread out over 25 years.
Financial and legal experts are split over which is best.

"I like the cash payment. However, most people would not be able to handle that much in a lump sum at one time," said Edward Slonaker, a certified financial planner with the Morgan Financial Group of West Virginia in Martinsburg.

Snack time works perfectly because it allows the students a break from morning work yet gives them a focus that is peer driven. Students may show or tell an object or share a story. My students this year have very quickly adapted to the Sign up to Share system and with a PA system in my classroom it is even more success full than last year!
Something Good from Home:
Mr. Livers is a HUGE Razorback fan so our weekends are spent traveling to games and spending time with friends and family and it's one of my favorite times of year! I could probably work all weekend the first few months of school but football games and tailgates are a great reason to take a break and have fun! I'm trying to come up with a recipe for Alabama vs Arkansas game....anyone have a suggestion?
While I am blogging I wanted to tell you how we celebrated Patriot Day. We started the day by reading September 12th which was written by a group of students who were in 1st grade on 9-11.

Physical Installation, Data Art
2015 - current
We created a large-scale, animated installation that pulls from live train data to show the routes and performance of the Norfolk Southern train system. This animated visualization is bird's eye view of their railway networks zooming in on trains that complete their routes and zooming out to give a large picture of the network status as a whole. Using length to show distance traveled, colors to indicate velocity, height of each route block to indicate volume transported and Train ID we were able to give Norfolk Southern a comprehensible visual of how their train system performed within the last 24 hours.
This installation lives in the lobby of Norfolk Southern's headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

A look at a busy Millennial
Melissa Duncan is one of Charlotte's Millennials who likes to stay busy – and work hard. Also known as Generation Y, the Millennial Generation covers those born between 1980 and the early 2000s. Duncan, 34, hails from Baton, which is in Caldwell County.
"Baton is a super tiny community inside of Granite Falls," Duncan said. "There is literally one stoplight. I grew up down a 1-mile-long dirt road next to Baton Elementary. I loved growing up there, near the mountains. The people were all so nice and everyone cared about each other."
After she graduated from high school in nearby Granite Falls, Duncan followed in the footsteps of many in her area and got married and had a baby.
"Even though I was only 18, I was thrilled about being married and loved my baby son, Adam," Duncan said.
When Adam was 3 months old, tragedy struck. Duncan's beautiful baby boy died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is defined by Mayo Brothers Clinic as "the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old."
The cause or causes remain unknown, but researchers are studying risk factors to aid parents in trying to prevent SIDS.
Thrown into paralyzing grief after the loss of her baby, Duncan was unable to do anything.
"Some days I just sat in a chair," she said. "I didn't eat or do anything all day. The pain of losing my precious baby was too much."
Time passed, and Duncan went to her grandmother to whom she was very close and asked, "How can I possibly go on without my son?"
Her grandmother answered, "You have two choices; you can either lay down and die, or you can keep on moving. It's up to you."
Duncan and her husband got divorced. Finally heeding the advice of her loving grandmother, Duncan got an office job at Hickory Lake Country Club. The year was 2002 and she was 21 years old.
A few years went by, and Duncan decided she was ready to continue her education. She moved to Charlotte in 2007 and was accepted at Queens University of Charlotte. Duncan went to school and worked full time as an auditor in the food service industry. She found that keeping busy was helping her to heal. In 2014, Duncan graduated with a degree in business. Elated, she applied for grad school at Wake Forest and was accepted, but won't be starting classes just yet.
"I want to get my MBA, but I have to put that on hold while I save money," Duncan said. "Graduate school is very expensive," Duncan said.
I'm happier now and looking forward to the future.
Melissa Duncan, business and talent manager at T1V
Duncan has been working for T1V, a software company, since 2012.
"I love my job as business and talent manager," said Duncan. "T1V creates interactive experiences for businesses, education, exhibits and events, for example. It could be in the form of an interactive touchscreen wall or table, mobile app, digital signage – technology like that. I have learned so much."
Duncan now lives in South End with her Lab-mix dog, Miles. She enjoys living in South End because she said there's a lot happening and it's easy to make friends. She takes Miles to Freedom Park to run, and on Fridays he goes to Dogs All Day for doggie day care.
"He knows when it's Friday, because he's sitting by the door while I'm getting ready for work," said Duncan. "Miles has so much fun at doggy day care."
In addition to her job and dog keeping her busy, Duncan works out regularly and assists her friend who is a wedding planner. She also helps friends plan parties and events.
"I'm happier now and looking forward to the future," she said.

text: So I'm in town with some folks who hate Toronto and think that Torontocentricism is a thing (which it really is). Yes, there are too many suits, too many cars and too much noise. But I see moments in which, amongst the anonymity, I observe a nod from one subway driver to the next upon shift changes. Amongst all those people craning their necks into their smartphones and stuffing their ears, I observe a woman reading a book, and the woman next to her looking over her shoulder to take a peek at what she's reading. These are hardly what one could call intimate moments, and yet I feel that because, within a crowd, they are silently shared between two people, they are heartbreakingly beautiful - they slow time down amongst the bustle.

Welcome to the official website of Cath Mayo, and the home of Odysseus and all his friends, relatives and enemies!
New Series Announced
I am delighted to announce a new series – it's called Olympus, and it's set in ancient Greece, just prior to the Trojan War. I've written it in partnership with fellow New Zealand author David Hair https://davidhairauthor.com
The books are adult fantasy novels told from the point of view of Odysseus, the wily hero whose exploits are told fully in Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Olympus series is a prequel to those epics, and relates how Odysseus, a young Bronze Age prince from a remote island kingdom, won his reputation for cunning and martial prowess.
The Bronze Age kingdoms of Achaea (modern Greece) face the rising dominance of Troy, a powerful kingdom allied to the mighty Hittite Empire. Even their own gods are divided between these two powers. Follow Odysseus as he enters this deadly struggle, discovering his secret heritage while doing battle for and against some of the greatest heroes of the age. Enter the world of Theseus, Athena and Helen of Troy. Face the terrors of Hades realm, walk the Serpent's Path and learn the secrets of the oracles, and encounter the terrifying ancient Gods.
Book One "Athena's Champion" will be released by Canelo Publishing in November 2018, with the following two books "Oracle's War" and "Sacred Bride" released in 2019.
On the rest of the site, you'll be able to discover more about my books, including my YA novels Murder at Mykenai and The Bow, and read interesting facts about the Greek Bronze Age, where the books are set. You can catch up with my news through my blog, read about my life, check out some photos and access free stuff. If you want to ask me about my writing or about school visits, there's information and a contact page.
Hope you enjoy your visit!

Book Description
What's wrong with black women? Not a damned thing!
The Sisters Are Alright
exposes anti–black-woman propaganda and shows how real black women are pushing back against distorted cartoon versions of themselves.
When African women arrived on American shores, the three-headed hydra—servile Mammy, angry Sapphire, and lascivious Jezebel—followed close behind. In the '60s, the Matriarch, the willfully unmarried baby machine leeching off the state, joined them. These stereotypes persist to this day through newspaper headlines, Sunday sermons, social media memes, cable punditry, government policies, and hit song lyrics. Emancipation may have happened more than 150 years ago, but America still won't let a sister be free from this coven of caricatures.
Tamara Winfrey Harris delves into marriage, motherhood, health, sexuality, beauty, and more, taking sharp aim at pervasive stereotypes about black women. She counters warped prejudices with the straight-up truth about being a black woman in America. "We have facets like diamonds," she writes. "The trouble is the people who refuse to see us sparkling."

PC, Mac, Tablet and Smartphone Control of NexStar Telescopes
Most of the information you find here is the result of my work on NexStar Observer List, a PC control program for all models of NexStar scopes. You can learn more and download your free copy here.
Software Settings
So, when configuring your external software/app, if it requires the selection of telescope type, look first for your specific model (NexStar SLT, CPC, etc.). If your model is not available, try NexStar GPS or CPC. If Celestron is the only option, select that. Feel free to experiment, but be ready to press any of the arrow buttons on the hand control if the mount seems to be slewing out of control and it looks like the optical tube might strike the mount.
Wired Connections
PC and Mac software generally communicate with the scope via the port on the bottom of the hand control. Current hand controls (manufactured since April 2016) have a USB port while older hand controls have an RS-232 port (looks like a phone jack). For more information about the various ports and connectors on your scope, visit the Odds and Ends section of this web site.
Wired Connections for USB Hand
At this time, I know of no method of making a wired connection between a table/smartphone and the USB hand control.
Wired Connections for RS-232 Hand Controls
If your PC/Mac does not have a serial port (serial ports are very rare with today's laptop/notebook computers) you will also need some sort of adapter. The one you will most likely use, is a USB to serial adapter ($30 to $40). Most computer stores stock USB to serial adapters but not all work well with Celestron's scopes. I recommend you purchase Celestron's own USB to serial adapter (Celestron part number 18775) or an adapter that specifies it uses either a "Prolific" or "FTDI" chipset. Once you connect your USB adapter, a serial port, designated by a number, will be present on your computer. Configure your astronomy software to connect to this port.
Wired connections to a tablet or smartphone are pretty much limited to Simulation Curriculum's SkyWire and their SkySafari application. This adapter is only compatible with specific iPhones, iPods and iPads. See their website for more details.
Before smartphones, many people owned a PDA ('personal digital assistant', Palm Pilot, Pocket PC). If you have one stuffed in a drawer somewhere and want to try it out, PDAs require a serial "sync" cable or a serial port CF card which is used to connect to the Hand Control RS-232 Port Cable. When using a CF card, the standard hand control RS-232 port cable is used. When using a serial "sync" cable, you will need a null modem and gender changer to use the hand control RS-232 port cable or a custom cable. Details of these cables are explained in the link "Hand Control RS-232 Port Cable" above.
Be sure to check out Larry McNish's diagram linked above for various cable connections to the RS-232 hand control.
Wireless Connections
Wireless control takes two basic flavors - Bluetooth and WiFi.
One Bluetooth adapter designed specifically for telescope control is Simulation Curriculum's SkyBT. SkyBT is an adapter specifically designed for Android which will also work with their software products for the Mac. This option is tested with their SkySafari software but may work with other software.
A second Bluetooth adapter with documented support for telescope control is from U.S. Converters. It requires an external power source, but is less expensive than SkyBT. They document Android use here and Windows PC use here.
The first is Celestron's WiFi solution. The NexStar Evolution and the Astro Fi scopes have built-in WiFi. Celestron sells their SkyPortal WiFi Module (part # 93973) which is compatible with many of their other scopes - check their website to see if yours is supported. The SkyPortal WiFi Module plugs into an Aux jack on the scope and may require an "Aux splitter" (also available from Celestron - part number 93973). In fact, I generally use the splitter as an extender on most mounts to allow the WiFi module to hang loose rather than providing a hook for things to get caught on. The Evolution, Astro Fi and SkyPortal WiFi Module are only compatible with the SkySafari and SkyPortal apps on Android and iOS. This is a unique solution as SkyPortal/SkySafari and your smartphone or tablet completely take the place of the physical hand control - you actually perform the alignment and all further operations inside the app itself. The only things similar are NexRemote and CPWI (see the links in the top, right of the page) which take the place of the physical hand control and run on a Windows PC.
Second, Simulation Curriculum offers SkyFi III. SkyFi III connects to either the RS-232 port on the bottom of the serial hand controls or the USB port on the bottom of the newer hand controls - check their website for telescope compatibility. SkyFi III is compatible with SkySafari on Android/iOS and SkySafari and Starry Night on Mac/Windows.
Next, Software Bisque supports connections from their software, TheSkyX, with a device named "WiSnap WiFi to RS232 Adapter". Documentation on the use of TheSky is here. The device doesn't seem to be available at their website but can be purchase from the manufacturer - Serial IO. Most other Windows software should be able to connect via the WiSnap using AstroGeeks' (www.AstroGeeks.com) COM2TCP software though configuring the adapter and COM2TCP could be a significant hurdle.
Finally, ScopeCom allows WiFi connections from Android, iOS, Mac and Windows devices to any of the serial port hand controls (not the newer USB hand controls). On Android and iOS, connections may be limited to SkySafari, though other software may work. On Mac and Windows computers, any software that can communicate via a wired serial connection should work fine.
Putting It All Together
With SkySafari using the WiFi connection method, SkyPortal, NexRemote or CPWI, you will first perform an alignment in the software/app itself. For all other software, you must first perform a regular alignment with the physical hand control before attempting to control the scope with the external software/app.
Start your astronomy software and the computer should be ready to communicate with your telescope. Some programs have a menu item or toolbar button to establish communication while other programs are ready to talk immediately after starting; refer to the documentation for your program if this is not readily apparent. The software/app may require some configuration settings such as setting the type of scope and the communication port the scope is connected to. A good test for communication is to direct your program to retrieve the telescope's coordinates, or, if it is planetarium software, the crosshairs on the screen should follow the telescope as you slew around. The next test would be to use the program to direct the scope to GoTo an object. If the coordinates match within a few arcminutes, then all is working properly. If the telescope doesn't move at all, check the LCD panel on the hand control for a slew limit warning - the object you requested might be outside your established Slew Limits.
If things don't seem to be working as expected, refer to the 'troubleshooting' articles at the top of the page.

Drilling project at Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, East Antarctica: recent progress and plans for the future

The Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains (GSM), located in the central part of East Antarctica, have become the subject of great scientific interest because the mechanism driving the uplift of the range, which resembles younger mountain ranges in shape, in the middle of the old Antarctic Plate is unknown. The next step planned in the exploration of the GSM will be focused on direct examination of the ice sheet bed by drilling. The use of cable-suspended drilling technology is proposed. All of the drilling equipment will be installed inside a movable, sledge-mounted, temperature-controlled, and wind-protected drilling shelter and workshop connected by steel pathway. To drill through ice and bedrock, a new version of the cable-suspended ice and bedrock electromechanical drill was designed and tested. During the 2017–18 season, the drilling shelter and workshop will be assembled near the Zhongshan Station and first field tests will be carried out. Drilling for bedrock on the GSM is planned as soon as full financial and logistical support is obtained for the project.

We have implemented a semi-strict rule of no errands during homeschool hours. Semi-strict because no matter how strong my intentions, there are always exceptions.
Yesterday was an exception.
With blizzard conditions predicted for the next 24+ hours, we (like almost every other person in the state of Massachusetts) decided we better make a quick trip to the grocery store. So we worked on school in the morning and left for the store right after lunch.
Normally, when I have to run an errand with the kids during the school week, the kids will be asked by a store clerk or someone else why they are not in school. Jonah loves telling them, with a big smile on his face, that we homeschool. He's picked up on the fact that having a flexible schedule is a perk of homeschooling.
But yesterday, the excitement about the coming storm seemed to have everyone in a mood of anticipation. So instead of asking why the kids were not in school, Jonah was asked if he was excited about having no school the next day.
"No," Jonah bemoaned, with a slump of his shoulders. "We homeschool, so we can do school even when it snows."
Scott and I, and the store clerk, had a good laugh over that.
"Of course," Scott added, "they get beach days when it turns warmer."
Yes, yes they do.
And in all fairness, we have worked on some school today, but they have also enjoyed some great time outside in the snow.

Apologies to the author of this poem. Who are you?
See, I remember hearing this rhyme as a child. I didn't write it myself, but it's too good not to share, so …
Thanks for laying the carpet Dad.
Thanks for showing me how.
But, what's that lump in the middle there,
That keeps on saying "Meeow"?

Cryptocurrencies are highly unpredictable, but can be extremely profitable for a trader. The main purpose for using a cryptocurrency is to allow people to buy, trade, and invest without the need for banks or other financial institutions. Today, the market for this alternative investment has grown rapidly and cryptocurrency has surged in terms of popularity.
Trading cryptocurrency can be accomplished with the help of two individual instruments: Traditional cryptocurrency exchange and cryptocurrency-based CFDs. Most people prefer trading through cryptocurrency exchanges, but CFDs are currently rising as the second most popular options for trading cryptocurrencies. Both these methods of trading offer flexible positions though they should be used in a different way depending on the market scenario and the preferred trading style.
Opting for the traditional exchange trading will allow you to buy the underlying asset, which will make you the direct owner of the commodity. Subsequent to the purchase, the cryptocurrency is sent to your wallet created within the exchange. After that, you can transfer it to any address, account or wallet using your individual private key.
Trading with the cryptocurrency exchanges will give you flexible options regarding the transfer, sell, exchange or conversion of the cryptocurrency. Thus, it lets you physically control the digital asset and store it securely with the use of a private key or wallet. If the key is held in an offline storage, there is no risk of a third-party counter. It also allows the use of multiple wallet options to store or transfer the assets.
The private key is exclusive to each address and must be protected. The loss of it may equate to the loss of the asset as it is unrecoverable. If the key is stored at the exchange, there is a risk of it being hacked or stolen. The bottom line is that for long-term investors who are intending to safeguard their assets, the cryptocurrency exchange is the way to go.
But, if you are looking to venture on the value of the cryptocurrency over a short period of time, CFD is for you. Contrary to the prior method, CFDs do not involve the physical purchase of the cryptocurrency. Instead, the trader buys a right to claim the difference between the current and the future prices.
Trading in cryptocurrency CFDs removes the obligation to safeguard any private keys. Moreover, an additional leverage is usually offered on CFDs and thus your margins can have more buying power. It allows the use of 'stop loss and take profit' methods for those looking to gamble on a decline in the prices. On the flip side, the trading costs are usually wider than in exchange trading. Trades may get canceled or reversed if the broker finds a liability in the system. Besides, margin trading increases the risk of losses.
Conclusively, both the instruments can provide remarkable results if used correctly. However, each of them is best suited to a particular market scenario and should be used in accordance with the long-term or short-term strategies.

Role Call...of Egg Layers
These ladies are listed in no particular order and are only listed once an egg is laid. When/If said hen is sold, sent to freezer camp or dies, they will be removed from the list. Molting has no impact on list status.
(Amelia, Easter Egger or EE - loves to fly, best layer ever ... thru molting, spring, summer, fall & winter. She lays a large barely green egg)

(Dover, Delaware - Hatched out by ke_ben, lays a large brown, sometimes speckled egg. Best layer of the Dels and named Dover because I was afraid she would be crossbeaked due to a cracked beak at hatch. All the Delawares are named after towns/cities in the state of Delaware, though some are not as well known.)
(Viola, Delaware - Hatched out by ke_ben, lays a medium brown speckled egg. The best looking of my trio, the only one not to have broken nares in hatching. A little too friendly at times. She is a very fierce broody mama.)

(Lizzie, BCM X EE - a truly stunning pullet with fine, dark eyes. I love her patterning & colors. Hatched out by ke_ben, lays an awesome med-large brown speckled egg ... gotta love those Marans genes which also account for her broodiness.)
(Sunshine (Sunny), EE - Murray McMurray chick purchased from a friend as a companion to Uno, the only chick that hatched in my last bator batch. Lays a medium sized blue egg. Beautifully patterned, moderately friendly bird. Pretty great broody too but a bit to picky with the chickies.)
(Fanny, EE - Feedstore chick from Privett, lays a extra large to jumbo sized olive colored egg. Has a very interesting comb... almost like a Penedesencas. One of the Austen girls, chose this name because she seemed rather plain yet was quite remarkable.)

(Kitty, EE - Feedstore chick from Privett, lays a medium-large shiny blue-green egg. She's one of my favorite Austen girls. She actually pounces when she has room to really run. Her feathers are a lighter buff color than the other hens. Pretty.)
(Ginger, Rhode Island Red - Feedstore chick from Privett, lays a medium-large brown egg. She is my only all red hen and one of the Spice Girls. A very nice hen in temperment and production.)
(Uno, EE - Hatched out by me, and the only one of the batch to make it. She lays a medium, very light blue/green egg even though she has a straight comb. She loves attention and has been known to peck at your pants until you pet her.)
(Cinnamon, EE - Feedstore chick from Privett, lays a small, bright aqua colored egg. She is that rare find...a reddish colored Easter Egger. Her tail feathers are irradesent. She is a beautiful, sweet hen and also one of the Spice Girls.)

The result of the successful collaboration of two popular and creative designers Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef was the creation of the Van Cleef & Arpels company. Originally the office of the company was situated in France.
The brand's jewelry is characterized by perfect elegance and peculiar, unusual style. The creative design of the pieces produced by the company is inspired by delicacy and spontaneity of the nature which surrounds us. The creative images of the jewelry pieces are represented on the background of different landscapes and they are constantly slightly moving.
A complicated design of the jewelry pieces which includes precious stones and different metals outlines the unique style of this popular and famous brand.
The brand widely uses the images of birds and flowers, animals and insects. For example, the earrings represented above reflect the company's love to nature by using the image of a bird – the symbol of movement. While walking, the bird is moving from one side to another and it seems that it is trying to put some food into the mouth of another bird.
The watches produced by the company, vary in style. There are some very simple samples but at the same time there are samples with complicated ornaments. Some of the watches are so creative, that the most precious moments of your life will be remembered forever.

Poison Ivy Season – Avoid the Rash
It is spring time and once again it is time for cleaning of yards, debris from winter and just general clean up around your property. Time for Poison Ivy again!
A few key facts about poison ivy to keep in mind:
- The rash is caused by oil, Urushiol
- Urushiol is present in ALL parts of the plant
- It only takes 1 billionth of a gram to cause a rash
- ¼ ounce of urushiol is enough to cause a rash for every person on earth (if all were allergic)
- Urushiol normally stays active between 1-5 years on any surface, including dead ivy plants. Rash depends on individual sensitivity
- Some people are not allergic to urushiol now, but may become so over time and with exposure
- Highly sensitive people can have a reaction within 10 minutes or less of exposure
- Urushiol can be spread on tools, trucks, clothing, paperwork, etc.
- Wash contaminated work clothes separately
- Clean tools that have come in contact with the plant
- It can grow as a groundcover, free standing bush or climbing vine
- Often grown on field edges, roadsides, fencerows, etc.
- Three shiny leaflets are attached to woody stem
- Size, shape and color of leaflets vary
- Climbing vine has "fuzzy" tendrils
- White-yellow flowers in the springtime
- White berries, fruit in the fall that may persist all winter long on ends of branches
- Poison ivy and stinging insects are hazards that should be addressed in your pre-clean-up hazard survey.
- Avoidance is the best method of protection
- Learn what it looks like and where it grows
- Wear long sleeves, gloves, etc.
- Use tools if you need to contact the plant on the ground but remember to clean that tool
If you do contact any part of the plant:
- Wash affected areas with large amounts of clear water, avoid soaps as they may spread the oil
- Use products like Tecnu to help remove the oil
- Use Zanfel for light to moderate reactions
- Seek medical attention for serious reactions

This last day of meetings for the Federation Chapter was packed with content. Sister Agatha Muggli (who has played piano and arranged our rituals) and Sister Katherine Howard spoke on a culture of formation. Sister Agatha connected van Kaam's work about the nature of spiritual development with the Benedictine tradition; Sister Katherine focused on Benedict's steps of humility as the means by which spiritual growth occurs through community interaction; she explored some of the barriers that get in the way of that spiritual transformation. Rich table discussions ensued.
In the afternoon, Sisters Bobbi Bussan and Ruth Starman followed with a presentation on some of the means by which vocation directors work in the 21st century, and the cost for a variety of forms of print and digital media, with demos of several web sites that are popular with the under-30 Catholic group.
The Chapter voted on and passed the resolutions considered earlier in the week, and added several to thank our hosts and speakers. The day concluded with a banquet in honor of Heritage Day :
Abbess Edwarda Schnitzer chose two choir nuns, Benedicta Riepp and Walburga Dietrich, and a lay sister, Mara Flieger, for the mission. Though young and inexperienced, ". . . the courage of these women did not falter up to the time of saying farewell to their convent home on June 11, 1852." By way of Bremen, New York, and Latrobe, Pennsylvania, they finally reached St. Marys, Pennsylvania, on July 22. Here the seed of the Benedictine Order for women was deposited in American soil– seemingly a most unpromising place.

A Life Forgotten
- Director: Brian Chew
- Country: Malaysia
- Year: 2013
- Duration: 24'
The Orang Laut Seletar was once a proud tribe, roaming freely in the straits between Malaysia and Singapore. Living on boats, they only step on land to bury the dead. Since giving up their seafaring ways to relocate to land, they have seen their tradition and culture slowly fading with the passing of time. Developments along the coast of Johor have severely diminished the sea life and they are now struggling to feed themselves. They face a doubtful future. The sea is the only thing they know. They do not want to leave it and to work on land. This documentary shows the plight of Orang Laut's fight for their free world.

Can Arthritis Be Prevented?
Arthritis is a common condition that affects both men and women. In most cases, this condition gets worse over time, leading to increasing amounts of pain and disability. Because arthritis is such a difficult condition to manage, many people wonder whether it is possible to prevent it from developing. Below is some basic information to help you understand arthritis and reduce your risks.
What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis occurs when inflammation develops in one or more joints. Two main types of arthritis exist: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis develops because of wear and tear on your joints over time. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition that occurs when your body's immune system begins targeting the lining of your joints. Other types of arthritis also exist.
Regardless of which type of arthritis you have, the symptoms are likely to be similar. The most common symptoms of this condition are stiffness and joint pain that gets worse with age.
Preventing Arthritis
Certain people are more likely than others to develop arthritis. As you age, the risk of this condition increases. You are also more likely to develop arthritis if you have a family history of the condition. Although you can't control either of these risk factors, you can still take steps to prevent arthritis. For example, maintaining a healthy weight may reduce your risk of developing arthritis. You may also be able to reduce your risks by avoiding joint injury.
Treatment Options
In some cases, preventing arthritis may not be possible. However, prompt treatment early in the progression of the disease can reduce the risk of severe symptoms. Some of the treatments available for patients with arthritis include:
- Medications to reduce inflammation and pain
- Therapy to improve mobility
- Joint repair, replacement or fusion surgery
An experienced doctor will be able to tell you which treatment options are best for you.
Seeking Treatment
If you are experiencing hand pain or other symptoms of arthritis in the hands, Florida Hand Center is proud to offer a range of hand treatment options. Please contact us today to schedule a free hand screening at your convenience.

Oh What a Night….!
Sorry- it's stuck in my head now too. So tonight's post is not so much about photos or my photography work as it is about summer and entertainment… for ladies-mostly!
Summer entertainment usually consists of heading to the beach for sun soaking, going out for movie/ date nights with the hubs/ or significant other, and for some of us, a date night with the couch, a glass of wine and a favorite tv show. Well this summer seems a little steamer than others… and I am not just talking about because of yesterday's rainstorm and humidity content 😉
No, I am talking about steamy books, hott movies, and scandalous tv shows.
The book I am talking about, I am sure most of you have read it, read about it or heard someone else talking about it- is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. It is so racy it has been banned from some book stores! I have only made it to the second chapter so far and I have not made it to the steaminess yet…so I have been told, lol. It is so funny because every social gathering I have been to recently, someone is reading this book- or has already gone through the whole series (3 books, I think). Seriously- a friend had it at the hospital with her after having a baby! Then, I went to a wedding this past weekend and one girl had finished the series, one was going to download the book when she got home and some others had at least heard about it. So- no need to elaborate anymore- the book is getting around ;). Access magazine's June/July issue has it picked out for the summer must read to carry in your beach bag! But, a suggestion for the modest (myself included)- buy a kindle and download it there- that way no one will know what you are reading… if you find yourself wanting to read it in public, haha.

Below is a poll- who should play Christian Grey in the movie version? Here are photos of some contenders:
Photo credits @ end of blog post.
On to summer entertainment- Movies! I love going to the movies… especially this summer. Summer is usually the time that blockbuster hits, such as the Avengers (fun watch, by the way, and it also made box office history), The Amazing Spiderman, and Snow White and the Huntsman are in full swing. But I am not talking about blockbusters- no, I am talking about the movie you must go see with the girls after margaritas- Magic Mike. All I have to say is Google the Magic Mike movie trailer. The only thing my friend had to say to get me to go was Matthew Mcconaughey, because he is in it.. Oh and these guys are in it too and clothing is optional: Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, and not pictured: Alex Pettyfer.
Photo found here: http://www.newnownext.com/magic-mike-cast-covers-ew/05/2012/
Oh, did I mention they are
strippers male dancers? Hahaha, I mean, of course, the plot will probably be very dull and no proper or sophisticated woman would want to see… right? I don't really think they expect anyone to pay attention to the plot anyway! I still think it would make for a funny ladies night, especially after a watermelon margarita or two! Yummy 😉 Will you go see it with the girls?

Ok and finally, I have been hearing some about a new show with Jennifer Love Hewett called, The Client List… and since we are on the topic of steamy… just Google it too and check out the info on the show from IMBD. I haven't seen it yet, but I do like JLH, so may watch it if I ever catch it- it's actually on Lifetime, apparently, it was a made for tv movie starring her and now it has turned into a tv series! Who knows, comment if you have seen it or want too.
Photo found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Client_List_(TV_series)
Ok, good night everyone, enjoy Fifty because I know you are still up reading 😉 Oh and take the poll, it's anonymous!
