I don't travel much these days as a decision to try and lower my carbon footprint, so for my one non-working holiday of the year I thought I'd better make it a pretty special one. I decided last minute to travel to the Macdonald Monchique Resort in the South of Portugal and heres what I found…
My sidekick, the beautiful Charlotte and I, flew Shannon to Faro, and it was too easy. Shannon is less than an hour from my new hometown of Lahinch in County Clare, Ireland, and the flight was less than 3 hours. Once in Faro the transfer was less than an hour on the other side too.
When we arrived in Portugal we were met in the airport by a black Mercedes with Wifi on board. I was travelling with a shortboard so it was fine, but If you were travelling with longer boards I'd make sure to let the hotel know in advance so they can send an appropriate transfer.
On arrival at our peaceful country hideaway, we instantly absorbed the slower pace of life. Set in the idyllic mountains of Monchique, surrounded by pure green countryside and with views of the Algarve coast, this was a world away from the Algarve's typical coastal resorts.
Much to Charlottes delight and the horror of my quads, the gym was open 24 hours a day, with the option of booking personal training sessions. The first evening we were in for an hour and half session with the trainer, who set us up a programme for the week which Charlotte enthusiastically kept up while I opted to lie by the pool with snacks.
We made the most of the hotel, spending two afternoons in the Sensorial Spa, which make use of all the local raw materials, including the local thermal waters. To say the spa was luxury would be an understatement; I've never experienced anything like it. There is a sauna with Himalayan Rock Salt, a Steam Cabin, an Aroma Cabin, a Hydro Pool, a Relaxation Pool, themed tropical showers, an Igloo, marble heated loungers and 3 relaxation rooms, and this doesn't even begin to explain it. The tropical storm scented showers with thunder and lightening and birdsong take you to another world, and the Siberian Blizzard in the igloo room was strangely addictive. We also had facial treatments that incorporated the natural products from the hills.
So, we could easily have spent the whole week without leaving the hotel, with 3 restaurants and plenty of veggie and vegan options in both, but we tried to make the most of our time their and made sure to see the local area too. One lunch time we walked 1km into the spa town of Caldas de Monchique, famous for its healing waters, and filled our water bottles up in the springs. It was so beautiful, quiet and relaxing, the scents of pine and eucalyptus made us feel a million miles from the sun-soaked coast line.
On the second day some legend from Future Surfing School picked us up in the hotel and took us to Praia do Amado. Charlotte had a couple of surf lessons as part of our surf package, even though the surf was pretty big, she got up and riding pretty quickly and found the instructors coaching really useful. I had a little paddle around, enjoyed the beautiful beach, the local cafes and soaked up some rays. Future Surfing School is located 30 minutes from the west coast of the Algarve, and is perfectly positioned on the south-west corner of the Iberian Peninsula. The Algarve can pick up swells from almost any direction so the advantage with staying at the Monchique and surfing with the guys at Future is that you can go to whichever beach on either coast has the best surf on the day.
The next morning our surf guide picked us up and took us down to Arrifana where the surf was super clean, fun and rippable. I spent all morning surfing while Charlotte relaxed in the café overlooking the beach with her book. She makes a pretty good surf widow. I was buzzing after my days surfing, and after some lunch went back to the hotel and hung by the pool for a swim and a nap.
Overall, we found the whole experience exceptional. I found it unusual in such a big hotel to feel the staff were like a little family. From Miguel in the Pizzeria who recommended the best wines, to Joao in the restaurant, who took the time to guide us down to the Pizzeria on our first night and whose smiling face greeted us at dinner every evening, recommending local drinks and deserts. Lovely Carolyn from Loch Lomond in the spa, talking us through the treatments and making sure we got the best deals, and not forgetting Portuguese Paulo, the Irish speaking cocktail maker who surprised us with his Gaelic tongue.
If you're looking for a surf package holiday a little different from the most, with a focus on deep relaxation and wellbeing, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Macdonald Monchique.

My Bike Executes Prolog!
This is how my bike fires alarm when stand is on: It runs Prolog query to detect risks & fire alarm when needed… But why Prolog? Instead of giving microprocessors direct instructions for doing things, we can give it specifications of problems and let it find the answers. As a human your skill is understanding what needs to be done; the computer's skill is working out the best way to do it.
Facts & Rules interpreted on bike:
when (no-risk , alarm-off)
when (on-risk , alarm-on)
when (stand-on , on-risk)
when (stand-off , no-risk)
do-when (Situation , What) := when (Situation , Y) , when (Y , What)
I used DM ProMicro and flashed it with Haze-Prolog interpreter. Haze-Prolog is a light-weight prolog interpreter which can be run on embedded systems.
Here is the block diagram of the system. Reed switch used as a stand sensor. Output of the ProMicro fed to a buzzer. When power on, Prolog query runs on infinite loop to check the status of reed switch & fires alarm if needed.
Here is the photo of my bike. Front cover removed to install prolog module. The module was connected to the power connection of the side head light. The module will be turn on when ignition switch is turned on and it will check the status of the stand & fire alarm if needed.
This system can be extended by adding more sensors and output devices.

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Judge asks Sandusky attorneys if he will be witness
Jerry Sandusky speaks out entering the Centre County Courthouse
After much back and forth asking a judge for permission to call witnesses in Jerry Sandusky's quest for a new trial, the judge now has a question for the defense.
Are you going to call me?
On Tuesday, McKean County Senior Judge John Cleland, who has been specially presiding over the Centre County case since Nov. 2011, issued an order, directing Sandusky's attorneys to "either notify me of their intent to call me as a material witness ... or formally withdraw .. .any argument related thereto."
The references are to a meeting that occurred at the Hilton Garden Inn in December 2011 between prosecutors and Sandusky's then-attorney Joe Amendola.
That meeting came up several times in evidentiary hearings in 2016 as Sandusky's new attorneys, Al Lindsay and Andrew Salemme, pursue a Post-conviction Collateral Relief Act petition. Prosecutors Joseph McGettigan and Frank Fina were asked about the meeting, as was Amendola.
In May, Cleland denied a motion from the defense for his recusal in the case. Lindsay and Salemme argued that the "unusual" circumstances of the off-the-record meeting warranted a new judge and made Cleland a potential witness, creating a conflict of interest. Cleland maintained others could testify about what occurred at that meeting "thereby eliminating the need for any record testimony from me."
A retired Penn State defensive coordinator, Sandusky was convicted of 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse crimes in June 2012 and is serving a 30-to-60 year sentence at Greene state prison in Waynesburg. He maintains his innocence.

You know – that time of year where in three months I try to finish more knitting and sewing projects than I may have completed in the past year….
You can read all the rules and get info on the first June Camp projects, you get a discount on your camping supplies and it's all just good fun! Info is on The Loopy Ewe Blog. And the rules have changed this year so you don't necessarily need to make projects that increase in yardage each month.
I had decided I wasn't going to do the yarn camp this year – just the sewing camp since my sewing room has been very neglected the past few or more months.
But then the Camp Care package – a special purchase in advance of camp that is just an additional camper perk – arrived and the yarn is lovely so I will do at least the first month of yarn camp even if I don't do the next two (and with the new rules you can do that).
Inside the Camp Care package was this lovely hank called Night Wrangler, a new camp bag (we're going by wagon train / western themed camp this year) and a scissors fob.
I spent last night trying to come up with a potential western themed quilt design in EQ8. Then I went looking for potential fabrics. Found some I liked and then waited to see if they would fit Camp requirements and they did.
These have been ordered. The paisley (I love paisley) and the pink horseshoes are from a Riley Black Rodeo Rider line which seems very appropriate. Here's the design I came up with which I'm calling All Star Cowgirl Roundup.
The center applique is a bit fuzzy looking because it's just an image pasted over top of an area where there were blocks. It's actually an image of a block I have in another quilt top that was made by a friend at a quilt retreat in Texas for our Texas themed block swap. If I can't find the clip art, then I'll just trace her block to get the pattern and add a border around it to get to the size I need.
Here is the block in the Texas retreat quilt (which still needs to be quilted) and I think I even know where in the closet it is if I need to trace the block. Now to wait until Camp officially opens on June 1. Are you doing Camp Loopy? It's loads of fun!

Title: Janeway: From a Vulcan View
Author: Arachnia
Date: August 31, 1999
Series: VOY
Story type: Drabble
Rating: G
Codes: J, Tu
Archive: ASC and JetK yes, others please ask

Disclaimer: Paramount owns the characters, but words are free and I can put them in any order my muse tells me to.
Janeway: From a Vulcan View
by Arachnia
I have referred to her as "reckless." In ten years with
her, I have seen her gamble and win on countless occasions. My
respect for her is boundless, exceeded only by her own loyalty to
Voyager. She will do anything and risk everything for her crew.
This time she gambles for my life and the lives of strangers.
When I watch her, I can believe that "instinct" is real
and not a fallacy, as I have always been taught. Certainly logic
cannot argue with her results.
I have called her "reckless." Indeed, I believe she is pleased by that observation.

Lover came round to visit, or rather I met her on the street, crouched over a phonecall she was receiving from abroad. I wasn't sure it was her so I checked before kicking her.
I kissed her while she spoke and lay my shopping bags on the ground.
She said I looked thin and I agreed, there's no getting away from it, eating's been making me sick lately, my nerves just can't handle it.
She helped me with the bags, it was the least she could do, and told me she couldn't stay long. She'd been in my house already for an hour, in my house, for an hour, and I'd been shopping, unaware of her visit.
I bought her a salad, even though I thought I wouldn't see her I bought her a salad. The idea was to have it in the fridge ready so when she came round I could offer it, as if my life was really that organised.
I can't stay, she said.
You can help with the shopping, I said.
She lifted a bag, put her phone in her pocket. She didn't help because she didn't want to, that's why she didn't help. I put on music that she wouldn't understand, began to lay things past, pain in the base of my neck, in my back, from bad posture.
Did you see the fireworks? She'd seen them, it was clear from the question, I didn't want to answer. I had gone with friends, I'd lost them all, I'd lost all my friends trying to find another friend, finding no one. In the end I stood within a group of strangers listening to their radio, watching the fireworks, feeling stupid.
You not hungry? I could have fallen over, the strain of communicating from the kitchen.
I've got to go home and cook, I've got friends coming round.
She invited me. I won't go. I don't want to meet new people, I don't, I don't want to meet new people, there's no time. I've nothing to offer, I
We looked at each other for the first time since meeting, I thought she was going to cry, her bottom lip shook, it didn't tremble, it shook, moved a little, just shook, as if she'd thought about it, decided against it.
She made a pipe and we smoked it. I couldn't speak. I'm tired of myself, angry that there's not more to me than meets the eye. I can't focus so I can't progress. How can I progress if I can't focus? It's impossible, I feel spiritually blank, emotionally whatever, broken.
She made a pipe, we smoked it.
She's no better. Neither of us, neither of us have handled the us as we could have. The us that is us has been a disaster from start to finish. Nobody has taken the lead, nobody has followed. A relationship like a three-legged race with injured legs, strangers bound firmly but out of time.
We've hobbled, we're still hobbling, and stopping might be painful, and maybe there's somewhere to get to, and so on.
But for that there's nothing. We both need, we both need.
Although she's not hungry she eats. I try to follow suit to justify bringing food to the table but I've no real appetite. I feed her much as I would a child and see chewed-up remains in her mouth, chewed-up remnants, things sticking to her tongue like a baby eagle and me the parent.
I know that soon I'll never see her again. I watch her but not intensely. I allow myself to see her but neither want to or don't want to. The futility of the moment, of our inability to take advantage of it, is exhausting.
It's all too much, she said. What's happened to my life? she said. This isn't right, she said.
She'll look old young, that's precisely the nature of her face, old young. I'll not see her. I'll not see her old. I'll not see her old but can see it now, before it happens.
This isn't fair, she said.
I know, I know, I said.
She'll remember me. I'll remember her, I suppose. I know I'll remember her. She'll remember me, I'll remember her. But neither as much as it may seem just now in this moment.
It's distorted, I said. Let it go, I said.
Love without violence, she said, an impossible dream. Is that the door? she said.
I don't think so, I said.
She'll remember me, I'll remember her. Neither as much as it may seem to us in this moment, suspended instant, nostalgia, nothing to write home about.
When it falls apart, well
When it's all said, when it's all been done or not done, as the case me be, three or four stories will remain.

The 20mm Nagler Type 5 on the left and 22mm Nagler Type 4 on the right
In the spring of 2003 Al Nagler introduced a newly redesigned 20mm Nagler. The original 20mm Nagler had been introduced in 1985, had 8 elements, and weighed 2.3 lbs. The newly redesigned 20mm has 6 elements and weighs 1.0 lbs.
Although the original 20mm Nagler had been a favorite of deep-sky observers, when the 22mm Nagler Type 4 was introduced many switched over to it. The 22mm Nagler Type 4 at 1.5 lbs. was smaller and lighter than the original 20mm Nagler, and had fewer elements (7 elements). In general the fewer the elements the more likely the light transmission will be better.
A couple of years ago I purchased 22mm Nagler Type 4 and have used it extensively for my deep-sky observations, and one of my observations using this eyepiece is posted on my Visual Observations page.
When Al Nagler introduced the newly redesigned 20mm Nagler Type 5 I decided to buy one and compare it to the 22mm Nagler Type 4. As you may note from the photograph above the 20mm Nagler Type 5 is smaller than the 22mm Nagler Type 4, and also weighs less: the 20mm Nagler Type 5 weighs 1.0 lb., while the 22mm Nagler Type 4 weighs 1.5 lbs. Also, the 20mm Nagler Type 5 has fewer elements (6 elements) than the 22mm Nagler Type 4 (7 elements). The field stop of the 20mm Nagler Type 5 is 27.4 mm, while the field stop of the 22mm Nagler Type 4 is 31.1 mm.
One of the first things I noticed when comparing these eyepieces was that the eye relief was better in the 22mm Nagler Type 4 (19mm) than the 20mm Nagler Type 5 (12mm). If you wear glasses while observing or find a longer eye relief more comfortable this may be something to consider. Also, like all Type 4 Naglers the 22mm Nagler has the "Instajust Eyeguards".
On the other hand the fewer elements in the 20mm Nagler Type 5 had better light transmission which produced brighter images, and the contrast was better. This made it easier to see fainter detail in deep-sky objects in the 20mm Nagler Type 5 than the 22mm Nagler Type 4. While the field of view was similar between them, the longer eye relief in the 22mm Nagler Type 4 seemed to produce more of a "wow" factor than in the 20mm Nagler Type 5, although I found that by getting my eye closer to the eyeguard in the 20mm Nagler Type 5 the field of view seemed the same.It is possible that the extra element in the Nagler Type 4's provides the longer eye relief, while the fewer elements in Nagler Type 5's better light transmission, which produced brighter images, and the contrast. Depending upon your needs either eyepiece will work for you. They are fairly close in price, $440.00 for the 20mm Nagler Type 5 vs. $460.00 for the 22mm Nagler Type 4 (as of November 2003).
The 35mm Panoptic on the left and 31mm Nagler on the right
For a number of years the 35mm and 27mm Panoptics were my favorite low power eyepieces. I kept hearing good things about the 31mm Nagler Type 5 so finally bought one. The 31mm has 6 elements, an 82 degree apparent field of view eye relief of 19, a field stop diameter of 42.0mm*, and weights 2.2 lbs. The 35mm and 27mm Panoptics have also 6 elements, with a 68-degree apparent field of view, and a field stop diameter of 38.7mm and 30.5mm respectively. The eye relief of the 35mm Panoptic is 24mm, and weighs 1.7 lbs., while the eye relief of the 27mm is 19mm, and it weighs 1.1 lbs.
*Note that the actual field of view of an eyepiece is calculated by this formula:
field stop diameter/focal length of the telescope *57.3
On my first night out testing the 31mm Nagler and the 35mm and 27mm Panoptics on deep-sky objects I noticed that the 31mm shows better light throughput and contrast over the Panoptics. For example M42 appeared brighter and with more texture than in the Panoptics, and fainter nebula was visible easier to see as well, as were fainter stars. Also it was sharper out towards the edge of the field of view than the Panoptics, however when used with a telescope that had a f/5 focal ratio the 31mm was not quite sharp to the edge.
Since then I have tested these eyepieces on deep-sky objects and the moon on many nights and found my initial impressions were the same. Here are some of the deep-sky sketches I have made when using these eyepieces, including The Veil Nebula, the California Nebula, as well as visual observations of Barnard's Loop.
I have found there are advantages and disadvantages to both the 31mm Nagler and 35mm or 27mm Panoptics. The 31mm Nagler clearly has the edge in terms of light throughput and contrast over the Panoptics, as well as a wider field of view. However the 31mm costs considerably more (currently $620 as of Feb. 2003) than any of either the 35mm Panoptic ($365) or 27mm Panoptic ($330). Also the 31mm is noticeably larger and heavier than either the 35mm or 27mm Panoptic, and its weight could be a problem when trying to balance a smaller telescope on its mount. As noted in the picture above the 31mm Nagler is considerably larger than the 35mm Panoptic.
The wider field of view can be a mixed blessing when there is a bright star just outside the field of view of the 31mm Nagler. While observing and making a sketch of the North American Nebula I noted that there was a little light scatter from Deneb that reduced contrast slightly, perhaps because of the convex lens element that is located near the bottom of the eyepiece barrel.
In addition the 31mm has shorter eye relief than the 35mm Panoptic, even though it has a wider field of view. So I find it easier to see the entire field of view when using the 35mm Panoptic with its more comfortable eye relief than moving my head around to see the entire field of view with the 31mm. The longer eye relief in the 35mm makes it easier to tuck my eye into the eyecup as well, which helps reducing the effects of local light pollution.
Still, when I am observing deep-sky objects the 31mm is the eyepiece I tend to grab first over the 35mm and 27mm Panoptics, and the one I use most often of the three.
The 41mm Panoptic on the left and 35mm Panoptic on the right
At an astronomy convention in the spring of 2003 I had the opportunity to try out a new addition to the Panoptic line, the 41mm. The Panoptic 41mm has a 46mm field stop that is supposed to deliver the largest true field possible in a 2" eyepiece. It has also 27mm of eye relief and comes with has an adjustable height eyeguard that can be removed.
In the above photograph you may note that the 41mm Panoptic is not much taller than the 35mm Panoptic but it is wider. It also heavier by about half a pound (the 41mm Panoptic weighs 2.1 lbs. while the 35mm Panoptic weighs 1.6 lbs.). The eye relief is similar between these two Panoptics, 27mm for the 41mm Panoptic and 24mm for the 35mm Panoptic, but the field stop is larger in the 41mm Panoptic (46mm) than the 35mm Panoptic (38.7mm). All of the Panoptics have the same number of elements (6).
On the first night out it was clear early on that the newer glass and better coatings of the 41mm Panoptic gave it an advantage over the 35mm Panoptic: detail in deep-sky objects simply stood out better in the 41mm. On other nights detail on the moon seemed to have higher contrast and were easier to see in the 41mm than the 35mm. The one drawback of the 41mm is its greater price tag, $495.00 vs. $365.00 for the 35mm Panoptic (as of November 2003). The 41mm is however an impressive eyepiece, and one of my favorites for observing deep-sky objects.
Side view of the Oberwerk 11x70mm binoculars
A few months ago a pair of 9x63mm binoculars that I had for a number of years were broken. I debated getting them repaired as it would cost more to repair them than they were worth. Then a friend of mine showed me a pair of 8x56mm Oberwerk binoculars he had recently purchased. I was impressed after trying them out as they were lightweight and seemed very good optically, with surprisingly good sharpness, light transmission, and contrast. Plus they were relatively inexpensive. I asked if Oberwerk made larger binoculars in the 70mm range and he said they did. So I decided to check into the 70mm pair to replace my broken 9x63mm pair.
Front view of the Oberwerk 11x70mm binoculars
It turns out that they make two 70mm binoculars, one with magnification choice of 11x and a higher power one of 15x. Both models come with BAK4 prisms, and the optic coatings are broadband multi-coated. The field of view of the 11x model is 4.5°, while for the 15x model is 4.3° Exit pupil diameter of the 11x model 6.3 mm while the 15x model 4.6 mm, and the exit pupil distance for the 11x is 23mm while for the 15x is 16mm. Minimum focus distance for both models is 20m and the weight is 3.1 lbs.
I decided to go with the 11x70mm pair rather than the 15x70mm pair as knew there would be times when I would hand hold them and it would be easier to use the lower power pair. For most of my astronomical viewing I use these binoculars on a heavy-duty tripod. The retail price is $179.95, but you can often find them for $149.95. This includes dust caps, neck strap, and a soft carrying case. A hard carrying case would be better for protecting the binoculars.
Oberwerk binoculars have rugged rubber-armored metal bodies, all-glass lenses, right ocular diopter adjustment, and brass 1/4-20 tripod adapter threading. The Oberwerk literature indicates that due to the new low-reflection broadband multicoatings, which has a subtle green color, with faint green and purple reflections, light loss due to reflection and scattering is minimized, providing the highest level of light transmission possible. They suggest also that the view is very close to Fujinon FMT-SX series quality, for a fraction of the price. I didn't have a pair of Fujinon's to test against the Oberwerk's, but was impressed by their performance.
When I tested the binoculars the center focus had a smooth and precise feel to it. The relatively long eye relief made them easy to use, and would be very useful for observers who wear glasses. In addition the rubber eyecups fold down. Detail in the center of the field of view was sharp and contrasty, and was sharp out to between 80% - 85% of the field of view. Considering their size they are relatively easy to hand hold while using them during the day, but for astronomical observing at night a tripod helps to get the most out of them. I would recommend also a heavy-duty "L" adapter for use with a tripod.

On the first night I tried them out I was very impressed by their performance. I used them a heavy-duty tripod to steady the view. The limiting magnitude when I was observing was around 5.3. The Orion Nebula M42 was very pretty and showed some nebulosity. The Pleiades also looked very nice, one of the best views I have had of it. It seems to benefit from using two eyes to observe it rather than one eye as we so often do with a telescope. The Andromeda Galaxy M31 filled up most of the 4.5° degree field of view. The Pinwheel Galaxy M33 was easy to see. The open clusters M36, M37, and M38 in Auriga almost fit into the field of view of the binoculars.
Saturn had an oblong shape to it, and Jupiter showed as a disk with a couple of moons nearby. Jupiter was near the Beehive Cluster M44 at this time and the combination of Jupiter, its moons, and the cluster in the background was a neat view. A rising a thin crescent moon rose with earthshine was breathtaking. This was another case where the view seemed to be improved by the use of two eyes. On another night the first quarter moon showed very good detail along the lunar terminator, including a number of craters.
I have used the binoculars since then and each time have been impressed by their performance. They offer far more performance than the price may suggest. The coatings seem to really help bring out detail. For example each of the objects I observed on the first night I have observed many times before with my older pair of 9x63mm binoculars before they were broken. In each case the detail shown in the objects I observed showed up much better in the 11x70mm's than the 9x63mm's, much more than one would expect for simply the difference in magnification and aperture. I believe the coating have a lot to do with the better light transmission and contrast in the 11x70mm Oberwerk's.
So what pair would work best for you? It depends upon your observing needs and style. Since I use my Oberwerk's sometimes during the day without the benefit of a tripod the 11x70mm's were my choice. If you have a heavy-duty tripod and or binocular mount and have a smaller pair of binoculars for daytime use than you may prefer the 15x70mm's. Another consideration is that the 11x70mm's have longer eye relief, important if you wear glasses when observing. Either way I don't think you can go wrong with these binoculars. Highly recommended.
Side view of the Oberwerk 22x100mm binoculars
After owning and enjoying my 11x70mm Oberwerk binoculars for a year I wished there was a larger aperture pair available at a reasonable price. By chance when attending an astronomy convention I came across the BigBinoculars.com booth and saw the new 22x100mm Oberwerk binoculars. They looked very nice at and with an introductory price of $395.00 (retail price of $499.95) including case and sliding mounting bar seemed very reasonable. So I ordered a pair.
Front and side view of the Oberwerk 22x100mm binoculars
Like the 11x70mm Oberwerk binoculars the 22x100mm have BAK4 prisms, and the optic coatings are broadband multi-coated. The exit pupil diameter is 4.55mm, and the eye relief is 18mm, which should make them suitable for using when wearing glasses. The field of view is 2.8°. Minimum focus distance 25m, and the weight is 8.8 lbs. It comes with a center-focuser and the eyepieces have winged eyecups that help to block stray light. Oberwerk binoculars have rugged rubber-armored metal bodies, all-glass lenses, right ocular diopter adjustment.
When I first compared the 22x100mm's next to my 11x70mm binoculars I realized how much larger the 100mm's are: they are BIG! Also, unlike the 11x70mm's it is not really possible to hand hold the 100mm's. Still with a sturdy mount these binoculars are very impressive performers.
The Oberwerk 22x100mm and 11x70mm binoculars in front of their cases. Note how much larger the 22x100mm binoculars and cases are than the 11x70mm: the 11x70mm are 11" tall and 8.25" wide, while the 22x100mm are 18" tall and 9.5" wide.
On the first night I tested the 22x100mm it wasn't the best night for observing. There was some haze and clouds around, and the limiting magnitude was only around 4.0. However as I was eager to try them out I mounted the binoculars on a heavy-duty wooden tripod and carried them outside. Even though the observing conditions weren't the best I was impressed with their performance.
As with the 11x70mm binoculars the center focus had a smooth and precise feel to it. Detail in the center of the field of view was sharp and contrasty, and was sharp out to between 80% - 85% of the field of view. M22 appeared large and bright and resolved around the edge. M8, The Lagoon Nebula, showed nebulosity on the right hand side of the nebula, the darker lagoon portion in the center, and the star cluster on the left-hand side of the nebula. M17 the Swan Nebula showed its checked marked shape. M11 The Wild Duck Cluster was well resolved.
I decided to bring the 11x70mm binoculars out and compare them with the 22x100mm binoculars side by side. Both were mounted on sturdy tripods. Right away I noticed there was a difference between the binoculars. For example while in the 22x100mm I could easily tell the difference between M8 or M17 and see detail within them, in the 11x70mm while I could tell I was observing a deep-sky objects but not able to distinguish any detail to tell me which was which given the prevailing observing conditions.
Front view of the Oberwerk 22x100mm and 11x70mm binoculars. Note the differences in the size of the objective lenses between the 100mm and 70mm binoculars.
On nights with better transparency (limiting magnitude of 5.0 to 5.4) I was able to resolve more detail in deep-sky objects. Here is a list of some of the deep-sky objects I have observed with the 22x100mm binoculars, as well as the moon, planets, and comets:
The Double Cluster (NGC 869, magnitude 5.3, and NGC 884, magnitude 6.1) were beautiful and well resolved showing some red colored stars.
M1 (NGC 1952, magnitude 8.4) - The Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located in Taurus. Both the Crab Nebula and zeta Tauri easily fit into the same field of view, with the nebula appearing relatively large and having a grey color to it.
M2 (NGC 7089, magnitude 6.6) - Globular cluster located in Aquarius. This cluster appeared large and bright, and the outer portion of the cluster was resolved.
M4 (NGC 6121, magnitude 5.4) - A very pretty globular cluster in Scorpius. The outer portion of the cluster was resolved in the binoculars, with the line of about dozen 10th to 12th magnitude stars running north to south give the center of the cluster a linear appearance to it.
M6 (NGC 6405, magnitude 4.2) - Open cluster in Scorpius is resolved in the binoculars with a bright orange/yellow star in the middle and a pretty butterfly shape to it.
M7 (NGC 6475, magnitude 3.3) - This open cluster is located in Scorpius and appeared loosely compressed, large and bright with an irregular shape.
M8 (NGC 6523, magnitude 4.6) - The Lagoon Nebula, a nebula and cluster located in Sagittarius. The nebula on the right hand showed some variation in tone, being brighter at the bottom and dimmer at the top. The star cluster was prominent on the left-hand side, with the lagoon shape in the middle very noticeable.
M11 (NGC 6705, magnitude 5.8) - The Wild Duck Cluster is located in Scutum. This open cluster is nicely resolved in the binoculars with a bright star noted near the center.
M13 (NGC 6205, magnitude 5.8) - The Great Cluster of Hercules, appeared very large and bright, and I could resolve the cluster around its edges and began to resolve it across its core. It appeared very pretty as always.
M15 (NGC 7078, magnitude 6.3) - Sometimes referred to as the Great Pegasus cluster. As with M2, this cluster appeared large and bright, and the outer portion of the cluster was resolved.
M16 (NGC 6611, magnitude 6.0) - The Eagle Nebula, an open cluster and emission nebula located in Serpens. Appeared very large with both the nebula and cluster resolved. Through the binoculars it lived up to its name, with the bird shape to the nebula prominent.
M17 (NGC 6618, magnitude 6.0) - The Swan Nebula is composed emission nebula and open cluster located in Sagittarius. Through the binoculars the swan shape to the nebula was noticeable and showed some variation in tone.
M18 (NGC 6613, magnitude 6.9) - A small open cluster located in Sagittarius. It was nicely resolved in the binoculars.
M19 (NGC 6273, magnitude 6.8) - A globular cluster located in Ophiuchus. I was not able to resolve the cluster in the binoculars.
M20 (NGC 6514, magnitude 6.3) The Trifid Nebula, which is a nebula and cluster located in Sagittarius. Both the northern and southern portions of the nebula were visible, with the southern portion larger and brighter than the northern one. In the southern portion the double star was visible, as were the dark rifts that give the nebula its name. In the northern portion of the orange or red colored star was prominent.
M21 (NGC 6631, magnitude 5.9) - This open cluster is located in Sagittarius. A small but pretty cluster and resolved in the binoculars.
M22 (NGC 6656, magnitude 5.2) - This globular cluster is sometimes referred to as the Great Sagittarius Cluster. Like M13 it appeared large, bright and very pretty, and I could resolve the cluster around its edges and began to resolve it across its core.
M24 - The Small Sagittarius Star Cloud (magnitude 4.6) is well suited to observing with binoculars as it has a large diameter of 1 degree by 2 degree, which includes also the open cluster NGC 6603 (magnitude 5.9). The star cloud is a dense part of our Milky Way galaxy. M24 is well resolved through the binoculars, with numerous brighter and dimmer stars visible, as well as areas of darker nebulosity that run through it.
M25 (IC 4725, magnitude 4.6) - A pretty open cluster located in Sagittarius. Nicely resolved in the binoculars, with many small stars located near the top of the cluster.
M27 (NGC 6853, magnitude 7.3) - The Dumbbell Nebula, a planetary nebula located in Vulpecula. Through the binoculars I could easily make out the central dumbbell portion of the nebula, as well as the fainter portions on each side that gives it the football shape. There was a light green color to the nebula, and due to the binocular vision it almost appeared 3-D and floating in a sea of background stars.
M28 (NGC 6626, magnitude 6.9) - This globular cluster is located in Sagittarius. I could resolve the cluster around its edges.
M30 (NGC 7099, magnitude 6.9) - This globular cluster located is in Capricornus. I was not able to resolve this cluster through the binoculars.
M31 (NGC 224, magnitude 3.4) - Also known as the Andromeda Galaxy. With averted vision there appeared to be dark lanes on one side of M31. Also the central core of M31 appeared star like and the central region brighter than the outer arms. Both M32 (NGC 221, a dwarf elliptical galaxy with a magnitude of 8.2) and M110 (NGC 205, an elliptical galaxy with a magnitude of magnitude 8.0) were visible nearby.
M33 (NGC 598, magnitude 5.7) - The Triangulum or Pinwheel Galaxy appeared large, diffuse and elongated in shape, with a brighter central region.
Open clusters M36 (NGC 1960, magnitude 6.0), M37 (NGC 2099, magnitude 5.6), and M38 (NGC 1912, magnitude 6.4) in Auriga were resolved to the core and very pretty.
M41 (NGC 2287, magnitude 4.5) - An open cluster located in Canis Major. Appeared very pretty and easily resolved, with the main part of the cluster having an almost square shape to it. There is also a prominent red star near the center of the cluster.
M42 (NGC 1976, magnitude 3.7) - The Great Orion Nebula was large and well defined showing lighter and darker mottling within it as well as a light blue color. The brighter inner portion of the nebula was noticeable, and fainter nebula that extending out from it on both sides and towards the top of the nebula. The curved "bat wings" were visible along the bottom of the nebula, with M43 (NGC 1982, magnitude 6.8) visible below it. The Trapezium was resolved into four stars, and there were times when the fifth and sixth stars would pop into view. Several smaller stars were visible embedded in the nebula on one side.
M45 (magnitude 1.5) - The Pleiades or Seven Sisters was beautiful, with the color of the two small central orange and blue stars pronounced, while the brighter stars in the cluster providing almost a 3-D look to it.
M57 (NGC 6720, magnitude 8.8) - The Ring Nebula, a planetary nebula located in Lyra. In the binoculars it was resolved and surprisingly bright, and I could almost make out the lighter interior of the ring.
M78 (NGC 2068, magnitude 8.8) - bright nebula located in Orion. The nebula appeared comet-shaped with two stars visible in it.
Open clusters M103 (NGC 581, magnitude 7.4) and NGC 663 (magnitude 7.1) in Cassiopeia were pretty and resolved in the binoculars.
Alberio - Double star, Beta Cygni, located in Cygnus. It was resolved into its very pretty blue and golden-yellow colors and was beautiful as always to observe.
Mizar - was resolved into its four stellar components.
I observed the moon on a number of occasions and was impressed in the amount of detail visible in the binoculars. For example at crescent phase the earth lit portion of the moon as well as the mare were well defined, with many craters on the sunlit portion visible. At first quarter phase small craters were visible on the lunar mare, as well as detail within larger craters. During a total lunar eclipse the binoculars provided some nice views because using two eyes gave almost a 3-D effect where the moon appeared to be floating against a backdrop of stars. For a while the moon was located below several stars that formed a triangle that reminded me of the shape of a roof of a house, and it was as if the eclipsed moon was moving through a house of stars. The colors ranged from red/deep coppery orange along the northern portion of the moon, coppery orange along the middle, orange yellow near the middle bottom, and white near the southern portion of the moon. Here is a photo I took of the eclipsed moon through a telescope.
I used the Oberwerk 11x70mm and 22x100mm binoculars to observe the occultation of Jupiter by the moon on November 9th, 2004.
Observing the sun with filers made from Baader white light solar material showed very fine detail within sunspots, including the umbra and penumbra. In addition facula and granulation's were noted on the suns' surface.
I observed Mercury one morning while it was low in the eastern sky using the 22x100mm binoculars. Even though the seeing wasn't very good I was able to see Mercury's gibbous phase, and the planet had somewhat of a reddish orange color to it. However this may have been due to the low elevation of the planet.
On another morning the gibbous phase of Venus was sharply resolved.
During the 2003 opposition of Mars it often appeared as a disk. There were times when I could make out the South Polar Cap as well see some faint surface detail.
Jupiter was resolved as a disk as well and there were times when there appeared to be some cloud detail visible including the North Equatorial Belt, South Equatorial Belt, and the northern and southern polar regions. The four Jovian moons were easily visible.
Saturn appeared elongated and could almost make out the separation between the globe and the rings. Titan was visible nearby as were Tethys, Dione, and Rhea.
When two recent comets graced out skies the 22x100mm binoculars did a great job in bringing out fine detail in Comet Bradfield (C/2004 F4) in April 2004 and Comet NEAT (C/2001 Q4) in May 2004. Comet Pojmanski (C/2006 A1) showed nice detail through the binoculars as well.
Rear view of the Oberwerk 22x100mm binoculars. Note that there is no light cutoff from the prisms.
The Oberwerk 22x100 binoculars offer very impressive performance at a very reasonable price. They often seem to perform as well as a telescope with a similar aperture at low power because of using two eyes, and I sometimes just take them out to observe rather than taking out a telescope. Highly recommended.

Best Places to Play Air soft Games
If you wish to take part an airsoft recreation, you'll find business airsoft venues that you could go to which have guidelines and rules to safeguard in opposition to accidents.

The winter transfer market opens in Europe's leading leagues on Friday and Saturday. Here are five players to look out for as compiled by AFP:
The 25-year-old Borussia Dortmund attacker will be the most watched player in the transfer market with media reports putting Real Madrid ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea and German rivals Bayern Munich in the race to lure him away.
Though he missed Germany's World Cup-winning campaign through injury, Reus's goalscoring record from an attacking midfield position — a goal nearly every two league games — and Dortmund's poor league form mean top European sides have high hopes of signing him.
Reus reportedly has a release clause in his contract allowing a transfer for 25 million euros ($30 million). His German record 540,000-euro fine for driving his Aston Martin without a licence has not put off anyone.

School photography can be greatly varied, from shooting images of students and staff at work and play to portraits and location photography. Educational photographer Stephen Shepherd was recently asked to create a body of images for Chiltern Edge School. The photographs were to be used for internal posters, website and marketing collateral. One of the images that was required was a great shot of pupils involved in a science lesson. Luckily for us the tutor was very accommodating in setting up an experiment where pupils could set fire to a tub of gas filled bubbles. This created great set of photos with pupils faces really animated as they enjoyed the "explosion" as the gas was ignited.

Monday Evening, December 30, 1957. THE PHAROS-TRIBUNE PROGRAM FOR LOOANSPORT 1. An Ad.quat. Civic Ctnttt 1. An Adtqual* S«wag» Dispcnal System 3. Suffiic.nl Paiking Facilili.i Road Costs Going Up • There have been numerous com• plaints, lately, that the big federal highway program authorized by Congress a couple of years ago has bogged down. After about 18 months of shelling out money for the 41,000-mile network, tax. payers are starting to ask, "Well, where are the roads?" The answer appears to be that the • new roads are being built about as fast as had been planned. More than 1,200 miles of sleek new highway, ranging from four to eight, lanes, is already in use. Taxpayers are not aware of it be' cause the new roads are scattered about the country, but the highway system is growing at the rate of about 10 miles per working day. . .. That ends the good news. .The next • item is the unpalatable fact that the ; highway network is going to cost a lot more than was estimated. Two years ago the figure was set at 27 and a half billion dollars. Now the National Highway • Users Conference says the total, because of rising costs, will be about 30 per cent higher. This is a bitter pill for taxpayers to swallow. The fact remains that the highway network is essential. We might as well get used to the idea of having to pay a good deal more for it than we had planned to pay. Answer the Kremlin When Khrushchev or Bulganin speak or write letters, they are addressing the world. When our government allows an ' under-officer of the State Department to answer them, we make a grievous mistake. This is like forfeiting a ball game without putting a team on the field. The Kremlin leaders are not talking ; and writing like men who admire themselves in a mirror. They are pursuing an aggressive foreign policy. They are debating about the fate of mankind; they are seeking to win the support of the peoples against governments and leaders, if necessary. Unless Khrushchev and Bulganin are answered carefully, thoroughly and soundly, America will lose in the estimation of the world. The Soviet Union will continue to pose the questions of world political thought and debate, and America will remain on the defensive. These men are not street corner soap boxers; they are leaders of a powerful government. What they say becomes known all over the world. The recent Bulganin letter proves this fact. Bulgan- in and Khrushchev have been influencing European opinion while secondary American officials have been dismissing their words in off-the-cuff sentences to the Washington press corps. America makes much effort in nonpolitical propaganda, in people-to-people efforts to collect the good opinion of philatelists and the like. But it does not talk clearly and politically in answer to the Russian leaders. If this continues, American influence can only decline. Khrushchev and Bulganin should be answered by our top leaders. IN THE PAST One Year Ago The Wolf Construction company began razing the old Winter residence at 718 East Market street to make room for a parking lot. Dwight Singer was named principal of Galveston high school, succeeding Raymond J. Trobaugh, who resigned. Three employees of the Peru city light plant •who were fired by Mayor Devine in November returned to their jobs. Fire damaged the home of Jess Vernon at 315 Eleventh street. Frank C. Newcomer, 79, of 1829 Bast Broadway, died at St. Joseph's hospital. Ten Years Ago Drew Pearson's MERRY-GO-ROUND POLITICS MUST END AT THE RUSSIANS' 'EDGE' Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Blon, of Galveston, celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. • Ray Skillen was reappointed county highway superintendent for 1948 by the Cass county board of commissioners. Jean Young, route 4, was married to Albert H. Eyrich, Cincinnati, at the Broadway Methodist church. Mrs. Emily Kistler, 90, died at her home in Royal Center after a long illness. Twenty Years Ago Lonnie Hall Jr. and Mark F. Armlck were 'appointed to the city police force by the .Board of Public Works and Safety. Attorney Frederick Landis was elected president of the Logansport Exchange club. Martinsville defeated Logansport high school's basketball team in overtime, 23-20. Dr. Emerson Carter, 55, 'a Bringhurst physician, was killed when struck by a train in Flora. Drew Pearson says: Our bases abroad have become a second Maginot line; U.S. ases within 800 miles of Russia could be destroyed by IRBM in 15 minutes; Russian submaine missiles are even more deadly. WHEELUS AIR FORCE BASE, TRIPOLI. — Jets roar out o£ Wheelus every dawn. It is still •dawn when you hear the first roari over your barrack! -then another and! •another and an-g other. The bar-1 rack shakes as I they roar past. I They are off over I the Mediterraneans in search of er.e- \ my planes. Jet pilots doze | or play cards| above theirs planes, slide down a pole, clamp on their helmuls, are strapped into cockpits and shoot out of the hangar in three minutes. It's what is called a "scramble." While they roar out to sea, an Arab flute wails plaintively in the distance. A ukulele thrums sprightlier music from the barrack. Men come, go, eat, proceed with the job of living, enjoying Christmas, being relatively happy in a little American oasis on the edge of the desert a long way from home. Part of this, of course, is practice. Part is not practice-rather a genuine fear of a Pearl Harbor in ' the Mediterranean. American forces don't want to be caught as they were in Hawaii this month. 16 years ago. If there should be a Pearl Harbor in the Mediterranean, however, it will not come as it did when the Japanese rushed their fleet toward Hawaii, then sent carrier-based planes in for the kill. That kind of attack is as out-of-date as trench warfare. Yet the scrambles continue. The jets roar out at dawn. Another shakes the barrack as it goes past. Men have been schooled in a routine. They have been given orders. Efficient, uncomplaining, they are carrying out those orders. No Place To Hide In Desert If you draw an arc 800 miles from the Iron Curtain across the Mediterranean it cuts right 'across Wheelus Air Base, biggest base we.have outside the U. S. A. Or if you draw an arc from Albania, a Soviet satellite, Wheelus is 600 '_ miles. Those distances are significant. They mean just one thing, Wheelus could be wiped out in just a few minutes. It would be wiped out, not by an air attack as the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, but by intermediate range ballistic missiiles. Russia now has these missiles- not a few of them, but several thousand. Their range is around 800 miles, sometimes 1,00 miles. Carrying hydrogen warheads, one missile would wipe out the base; but Russia has enough to fire a lot more than one. Nothing the heroic air force pilots who scramble their jets every dawn could do would save Wheel«s. Nothing the 7,00 men who dutifully go about their 'job o£ supporting a little piece of America in North Africa could do would save Wheelus. Its wooden barracks and concrete installations, it's hangars and iU gas tanks, its theatres and its churches, its officers' club with the Bougainvil- laea climbing over the veranda, its neat rows 'of married men's quarters with gay Marigolds in front and children's perambelators on the back porch-all would go up in a pillar of smoke from the dessert. This is the dessert where 15 years ago a German named Rommel wheeled and maneuvered. For months he dodged, ducked, and eluded. But warfare has change since then. In this same desert, an entire tank corps could hide. But not 1 any more. Today, the Kremlin has the missiles and we haven't. They have several thousand. We have a production of two Thors per month. In war it's just as simple as that. Time magazine; unfailing, unofficial spokesman for the Eisenhower administration, recently printed a map assuring the .American public that American air bases in Europe and the Mediterranean stood like a rock o£ Gibraltar against enemy attack. The real truth is ,that most of them comprise a "Maginot line." Hitler's troops weren't checked a day by the huge pile of concrete designed by Maginot and erected by the French to protect their border. His troops walked right over it. And Russia's modern weapons today would either leapfrog over our European-Mediterranean bases, or wipe them out in a single morning. Deceptive Beauty The water of the Mediterranean is blue and beautiful along the North African coast. Men swim along the beaehes-when they can duck modern man's habit of fouling his nest with his own sewage. But blue and beautiful as that water is, it harbors the possibility of even greater danger than the IRjBM-namely, Russian submarines. It is only a few feet-100 at most -from the sea to the home of the commander o£ Wheelus. The entire base is built along the sea. One missile from a submarine lying low in the blue and beautiful Mediterranean could knock Wheelus out. The sub wouldn't even have to surface. Russia's new modern .submarine fleet is largely equipped with missile-launching platforms. She has 600' subs; Hitler had 49 when war started, and they almost put allied shipping out of business. So you lie in bed listening to'the jets roar out in the dawn, as hard-working boys, efficient boys, carry out orders-orders that haven't been changed by an administration which knew, but did not tell the public, that with two exceptions these bases had become an' other Maginot line. Any you wonder when the tumblers in Washington will cut out the bickering and start catching up. Note-The two execptions are our bases in Spain and Morocco which are still out of range o£ the IRBM. Judge to Answer Charges of Bribes CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (UP) — Jtidge Raulston Schoolfield, said today he will answer in a radio and television address testimony that implied he accepted bribes to quash indictments against IS Chattanooga teamsters. He said his answer to these charges tonight will be "all-encompassing" and "national in import." Sclioolfield, 52-year-old criminal court judge, and a politician with •a lust - for - battle reputation, planned to go on local radio and television tonight to rebut the testimony. Witnesses told the Senate Rackets. Committee that money changed hands to free teamsters accused of using violence to spur an organized drive. LAFF-A-DAY Fifty Years Ago Three local boys were lectured in police court after they were caught putting a tin can on a dog's tail near the Western Union office. A five dollar reward was offered for the apprehension of the person who whittled on the walls of the interurban depot at Clymers. A electric wire in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Guinip, Sycamore street, burned off, fell on a bed and caught the house on fire.' Frances E. Boeckleman and Harry D. Duffy were married at the Wheatland avenue M. E. church. Joseph Free-nan died at his home here at the age of GL Angelo Potri Parents Can Organize for School Needs According to our way of doing things, making important decisions such as building new schools and consolidating districts, is a matter of majority opinion. Age alone be- istows the right of every citizen to speak and to vote. The majority wins. That is our way and that settles it. Now, law or no law, the majority can be wrong. It is not always well informed; it is not always unselfish; it is not always dedicated to good causes. Being a large •group of humanity it can and it has made the wrong decision. There are many young families growing up today atid the schools to which many of them go and are to go later on, are inadequate or wrongly placed for the convenience of the families concerned. A meet- irig is called to decide what to do about this. Anxious young fathers' and mothers go to the meeting hoping to have at least the promise of constructive consideration of their school needs. Many speeches are made, some in favor, some against. When the vote is taken it kills the hopes of the parents. The funds «re voted down by a majority and usually a small one at that. A careful observer notes that the negative votes come out strongly from the group who have no children of school age. Theirs have grown up and no longer need the school, at least for the present.. Too, 'they are paying all the taxes they can afford .and -a new addition to the school, a consolidated high school, or a new building, will raise the taxes (perhaps so much that they will have to give up their homes). They vote "no" in iself-defense. One can understand their position. But-? The nation needs its children, needs them critically, and it needs to have them reared in effective, 'wholesome, cultured fashion. It cannot -afford an untrained, half- taught generation. At all costs the children and the young people must have the best possible education we can provide and the money must be forthcoming, from somewhere and from somebody. The youthful parents all vote for the school. They know the pressing need. They carry responsibility for its provision yet they are outvoted. If only the vote could be weighted-parents having a double valued vote-things would be different but that's an idle wish. The only way they can carry more weight is to get out, ring doorbells, make speeches, keep on asking, pleading, nagging.until the. sheer weight of then- insistence bears fruit and the majority is at last on their side. Meantime, could the older people think back as to how they felt about school for their children? * * * There is a rich treasury of books every child should read.
