Many observers harbor misgivings about their telescope. The manufacturer may have guaranteed accuracy to "one-quarter wavelength" or as "diffraction-limited" but most telescope users have, at best, only a hazy idea of how to personally verifying such claims. Sure, there are ways to check the accuracy of individual components but for many they are hard to understand or require costly reference optics and other test equipment. Besides, telescope users are interested in the performance of the entire optical train, not just the main optical element.
What is really needed is a test that can be used at the observing site, so that all the problems that impact on a telescope's performance can be diagnosed. Isn't there a simpler and more complete way than the complicated shop tests? Yes, the star test is such a method. It uses the entire working telescope. It is not a poor substitute or a work-around that uses bits and pieces of the optical system. It is the oldest and most sensitive of the optical tests—an inspection of the diffraction image itself.
Star-test results apply to the complete imaging performance of the telescope. The star test is lightning-fast and requires only a good high-power eyepiece. It tests the telescope for precisely what it was meant to do. Bad or poorly-aligned instruments fail the star test unambiguously. The star test often allows you to correct the optical difficulty immediately in the field, when you might be frantic to have your telescope perform well to observe a once in a lifetime event.
While the star test has been around for centuries learning it has often been hampered by messy mathematics and its visual nature. Most people who use it have learned it at the elbow of a patient Master. In this book, Dick Suiter becomes your Master. He carefully shields you from difficult diffraction theory and uses advanced computer generated graphics to show you the appearance of each aberration. Again and again, you will look at Dick's graphics and say "I've seen that before. So that's what it was!" The star test is a powerful but inexpensive way of obtaining better resolution and contrast. With this book most observers will find that they don't need a new telescope because they now can test, diagnose and fix the one they have. Using Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes as a guide, your telescope will perform to the best of it's abilities and perhaps it will show images better than you would have believed possible.

Raleigh, N.C. – North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) was unanimously selected to serve as the 2018-19 chair-elect of the Southern Legislative Conference by delegates to the group's 72nd annual meeting this week in St. Louis, Missouri.
Established in 1947, the Southern Legislative Conference (SLC) is a non-partisan, member-driven organization comprising presiding officers and key legislators from 15 Southern states. SLC is the largest of the four regional conferences of The Council of State Governments.
As chair-elect, Speaker Moore will assist incoming chair and Louisiana House Speaker Taylor F. Barras (R-New Iberia) in guiding SLC during the coming year.
Speaker Moore is anticipated to serve as chair of the SLC during their summer 2020 meeting in North Carolina. Earlier this month, Speaker Moore, on behalf of the North Carolina General Assembly, invited the SLC to host their 2020 meeting in North Carolina.
"We look forward to convening state lawmakers from across the Southern region here in North Carolina in 2020," said Speaker Moore.
"The annual SLC meeting is about leaders learning from one another to better serve our home states. With our rich history and growing economy, North Carolina has much we can share with our neighbors."
The SLC convened for its 72nd Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, July 21-25, as part of its mission to foster intergovernmental cooperation among its 15 member states. The meeting brought together more than 1,300 legislators, staff and guests from across the South.
The annual meeting of the SLC is the premier public policy forum for Southern state legislatures and the largest regional gathering of legislative members and staff.
North Carolina previously hosted the annual SLC meeting six times, most recently in 2009.

Coming together
Earthly Goods in Edmonton. I chose a quiet palette of yellows and wonderful array of grey with a dash of heavenly pinks. I don't have a full on shot of the whole quilt (yet), but here are some of the parts and pieces. It has been agreed by all that have seen it that it is a beauty.
You will note that there I am drawing lines on the back of the 3 3/8" squares. This is so counter-productive to the using of the efficient Easy Angle Ruler it was almost painful. If I ever did make this quilt again, that is one of the things I would definitely change. But because we had to do all of our cutting ahead of time, I was obliged to play nice in the sandbox with all others in the class.
I have chosen a brushed dark grey for the backing and will be dropping all that off for my LAQ Kim Caskey to work her magic on it.
Wishing you all good health, full bobbins and prosperity in the coming year.
Love and Hugs...Kathy

"What can I do to help? I'm scared I may make it worse," she confided to me.
Recently, one of my friends expressed concern for another friend who appears to be struggling with an eating disorder.
I thought about her words, and wanted to share my thoughts with you here today about how to start a conversation about eating disorders:
It's not a question of "if" you speak up but rather "HOW" you speak up that makes the difference.
Remember, this situation is impacting someone's health, so it is important to intervene somehow.
By saying something about the problem, we can avoid regret. We will never have to say, "I wish I had said…"
Remember: eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, and many of those who die have taken their own life. Eating disorders are a big deal, friends. We must be brave and do our part to help those we care about.
You can also start by getting educated on warning signs of eating disorders; check out our articles about anorexia symptoms, bulimia symptoms and binge eating symptoms.
When people ask me for tips on how to talk to a loved one who may be struggling with a serious issue, I always remember what my hubby, Tim Harrington (a family interventionist) tells me to say:
Eating Recovery Center
Eating Recovery Center is accredited through the Joint Commission. This organization seeks to enhance the lives of the persons served in healthcare settings through a consultative accreditation process emphasizing quality, value and optimal outcomes of services.
Organizations that earn the Gold Seal of Approval™ have met or exceeded The Joint Commission's rigorous performance standards to obtain this distinctive and internationally recognized accreditation. Learn more about this accreditation here.

This morning, James Murphy's remix of David Bowie's 'Love Is Lost' made its radio debut and it's predictably awesome – a slow-burning 10-minutes that builds hypnotically from the sound of applause (take that, Gaga).
Similarly, when Arcade Fire made their long-awaited return with the stunning 'Reflektor' recently (with Bowie himself on backing vocals), Murphy was behind the mixing desk and the result was – surprise! – great. Not bad for a 43-year-old who's called himself "retired" ever since he literally packed LCD Soundsystem into boxes following a series of farewell concerts in 2011 (an emotional moment recorded for posterity in the band's documentary postscript 'Shut Up And Play The Hits'). But then, Murphy never did follow a conventional path. Here's why he remains one of the planet's very best humans:
When Murphy put together a band to tour his LCD Soundsystem records, he didn't want to fall into any rock cliches. So he laid down some rules. It's a masterclass in cutting out the bullshit:
"Nobody onstage can hear anything the audience doesn't hear. No click tracks, no guides, nothing can be heard onstage that isn't going to the front of the house. If it's a synthesizer, you have to make that sound onstage happen with a synth. If it's an organic sound, it absolutely cannot be put on a sampler. No 'feeling it'. No sunglasses. No rocking out. No improvising. No noodling. No psyching up the crowd. No pretending you're cool. I understand that if someone's going to make me his idea of cool I can't control that. But no wearing the rock-and-roll hat."
Murphy was 35 by the time the first LCD Soundsystem single was released, having spent years as an engineer, so he wasn't a kid in a band when he started making music: he was a man with something to say. It was a Beastie Boy who acted as the catalyst though. As he recalls:
"We produced a record for Adam Horovitz from the Beastie Boys called BS 2000 and as a gift to me he bought me a boombox with a cassette deck and a keyboard in it from a yard sale. That's like a movie. Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys gave me a present, it's a boombox with a keyboard and a beatbox in it. You can't make that up. It had a beat already in it so I had an idea. I'm going to walk out, put that on a barstool, put a mike to it and just make shit up to it. That's what "Losing My Edge" was."
And here's what he made with that Beastie beat and a head full of truth. Murphy's calling card is about as honest and funny as music gets:
One of the thing that makes LCD Soundsystem's music so powerful is Murphy's keenly observed and perfectly phrased lyrics. No surprises then, that he studied writing and in recent years has talked about working on a novel – oh, and years before he even started making music as LCD Soundsystem he got offered a job writing for some guy called Larry David on this TV show called 'Seinfeld'. Apparently it got pretty big.
In 2006 he was offered a lump of cash by Nike to designed music to accompany jogging workouts which would "reward and push at good intervals of a run." Murphy took the money and told them he'd work on it on the treadmill. After '45:33′ was released, he admitted the whole thing was a lie: he'd never been on a treadmill and he just wanted the shoe pedlars to fund his longform music ambitions. It's not even 45:33 minutes long.
'Someone Great'
Part of that instrumental piece later reappeared as 'Someone Great' on 2007's masterful 'Sound Of Silver'. For my money it's up there as one of the most moving, erudite and powerful songs of the last decade. It's no surprise that so many people nominate this as the song they'd want played at their funeral:
Oh, and just for good measure he followed 'Someone Great' with the equally flooring 'All My Friends'. I just had to stop listening to this in the office because it makes me more emotional than I can handle being at 3:41 on a Thursday:
Murphy's essay about working with Bowie in this week's issue of NME is a joy, partly because of the palpable sense of excitement that comes across. That's no surprise, Murphy has been listening to his music since he was a child, and his influence is perhaps never more apparent than when he pays homage to his hero (or should I say 'Heroes') on 'This Is Happening's 'All I Want':
Read James Murphy, Black Francis, Irvine Welsh and more on David Bowie in this week's NME:

"I have attached some images I took at the show last week. The stand was fantastic! Those who came over to it to have a conversation with us loved it, but also those just walking by made a point of saying how great they thought it looked. People were feeling the 'stone-look' wall to see how it was constructed because it looked so realistic. I had comments on both Twitter and LinkedIn about how great it looked. The Sage logo hanging overhead from the ceiling too, was the first thing you could see as you entered the exhibition and made it extremely easy to find."

A down comforter without construction, or additional sewing, would permit the down to move, making irregularities and pockets rather than an even spread of fill. Down comforters have a wide range of construction which is used to hold the down in the same place equitably all through the bedding. That is the reason why you have to be able to choose the right type of construction if you want to be able to choose the best down comforter for you. All of the types of the construction of down comforters, then, will be discussed with more details in the following:
– Baffle box
Down comforters which are warmest and most expensive have baffle box construction. This implies there is little texture astounds inside the checkerboard construction of the down comforter to hold the down set up while enabling it to achieve the greatest space.
– Quilt stitching
These down comforters have the same knitted checkerboard appearance as the baffle box down comforters, however without the strengthening texture strips. You will pay less for this sort of construction, which is reasonable for down comforters with lower fill power.
– Channel
These down comforters have parallel creases just, so rather than a checkerboard design, there are "channels" over the bedding. This permits the down to move fairly inside the down comforter that it can be a great arrangement in the event that you need more down over your feet, or if the partner you are sharing a bed with prefers less warmth on his side of the bed.
– Gusset
These down comforters have fabric walls around the sides, giving the down comforter more stature, and in this manner more space. Gusseted down comforters are also generally sewed with the baffle-sewing. You will pay more for these down comforters, however, you will be compensated with unrivaled comfortable warmth.

From Cardinal Seán's blog
'Finally, this past week I received a wonderful surprise. Students from a number of our Catholic schools sent me cards, letters and other art for Good Shepherd Sunday.' Pilot photo/CardinalSeansBlog.org
Help us expand our reach! Please share this article
This week, the American Cardinals dinner, the annual fundraiser for the Catholic University of America, was held in St. Louis. The dinner this year was a great success, raising over $1 million for scholarships to CUA. As always, the evening begins with a Mass, and this year it was celebrated by Archbishop Robert Carlson in the very beautiful cathedral basilica of St. Louis. I would certainly say it is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in United States.
St. Matthew's Cathedral Anniversary
From there I went to Washington D.C. to join in the celebration of the 175th anniversary of St. Matthew's Cathedral. I had worked there for 20 years, so they invited me to give a talk on the Cathedral. I shared many of my personal experiences of working there, and reflected on the idea of the cathedral as the New Jerusalem, a field hospital and the home of the Good Shepherd. There were about 800 people there for the celebration. It was an opportunity to see a great number of former parishioners, and many people I had baptized or married.
Thanksgiving Mass for Father Sepe
Tuesday (4/28) we had a Mass to thank Father Kevin Sepe for his fine service as Episcopal Vicar and Secretary for Parish Life and Leadership. Father Kevin is leaving his post at the Pastoral Center to become a pastor in Wellesley. After the Mass, we had a light reception upstairs, with a very impressive cake! We are also grateful to Father Bryan Parrish, who will be stepping into Father Sepe's shoes.
St. Andrew's Dinner
Tuesday evening, we had one of our regular St. Andrew's Dinners for young men considering a vocation to the priesthood at St. Margaret's Parish in Burlington. It's always an opportunity for us to spotlight our seminarians, and several of them spoke and gave witness talks. Afterward, the young men had an opportunity for questions and answers. I have always found that these dinners are a very good way of introducing the theme of vocations and vocational discernment to young men throughout the diocese.
Boston Province meeting
Wednesday morning (4/29), we had our regular meeting of the bishops of the Boston Province here at the Pastoral Center. We meet twice a year as a province. We were happy that so many of the bishops were able to be with us, including a number of retired bishops, such as Bishop McNaughton, who is a retired Maryknoll bishop who lives in the area. This was also the first time that Bishop Chris Coyne, the new Bishop of Burlington Vermont, was with us.
Dinner at BC
Yesterday evening (4/30), I attended the dinner at Boston College celebrating the naming of the college's School of Arts and Sciences after Robert Morrissey. The dinner was held in the beautiful library building. Bob is a very generous and committed Catholic who has been very involved with the archdiocese, particularly with our finance committee. He and his five children are graduates of Boston College and he was a member of the Board of Trustees of Boston College for more than 30 years.
Father McLellan funeral
Earlier today (5/1), we celebrated the Funeral for Father Mike McClellan, who died unexpectedly at his parish in Canton on Good Shepherd Sunday. It was certainly quite a shock to all of us. His brother, who is a Franciscan preached the Mass and many of his classmates joined us as well. It was a sad loss, but we commend his soul to God's mercy and pray for his parishioners, many of whom are still in shock. A sudden death like this leaves people completely unprepared. He was a relatively young man, so that made it all the more traumatic.

Intensity Factor (IF)
Although normalized power is a better measure of training intensity than average power, it does not take into account differences in fitness within or between individuals. TrainingPeaks therefore also calculates an intensity factor (IF) for every workout or time range analyzed. IF is simply the ratio of the normalized power as described above to your threshold power (entered under "Athlete Settings" at your "Athlete Home"). For example, if your normalized power for a long training ride done early in the year is 210 W and your threshold power at the time is 280 W, then the IF for that workout would be 0.75. However, if you did that same exact ride later in the year after your threshold power had risen to 300 W, then the IF would be lower, i.e., 0.70. IF therefore provides a valid and convenient way of comparing the relative intensity of a training session or race either within or between riders, taking into account changes or differences in threshold power. Typical IF values for various training sessions or races are as follows:
Typical IF values for various training sessions or races are as follows:
- Less than 0.75 recovery rides
- 0.75-0.85 endurance-paced training rides
- 0.85-0.95 tempo rides, aerobic and anaerobic interval workouts (work and rest periods combined), longer (>2.5 h) road races
- 0.95-1.05 lactate threshold intervals (work period only), shorter (<2.5 h) road races, criteriums, circuit races, longer (e.g., 40 km) TTs
- 1.05-1.15 shorter (e.g., 15 km) TTs, track points race
- Greater than 1.15 prologue TT, track pursuit, track miss-and-out
Note that one particularly useful application of IF is to check for changes in threshold power – specifically, an IF of more than 1.05 for a race that is approximately 1 hour in duration is often a sign that the rider's threshold power is actually greater than that presently entered into the program. Thus, by simply examining a rider's IF for various events during the course of a season, increases or decreases in threshold power can often be revealed without the need for frequent formal testing.
Training Stress Score (TSS)
While exercise intensity is clearly an important factor in determining the type and magnitude of physiological adaptations to training, exercise frequency and duration – which together determine the overall training volume – are important factors as well. However, there is obviously an interaction between training intensity and volume, i.e., at some point as intensity goes up volume must come down, and vice-versa, or else an you will become overtrained. To quantify the overall training load and hopefully help avoid such a situation, TrainingPeaks uses your power data to calculate a training stress score (TSS) for every workout, and provides a graphical summary of your recent TSS on your Athlete Home page.
TSS, which is modeled after Dr. Eric Bannister's heart rate-based training impulse (TRIMPS), takes into account both the intensity (i.e., IF) and the duration of each training session, and might be best viewed as a predictor of the amount of glycogen utilized in each workout. Thus, a very high TSS resulting from a single race or training session can be used an indicator that one or more days should be scheduled. While individuals will tend to differ in how much training they can tolerate, depending on their training background, natural abilities, etc., the following scale can be used as an approximate guide:
- TSS less than 150 – low (recovery generally complete by following day)
- 150-300 – medium (some residual fatigue may be present the next day, but gone by 2nd day)
- 300-450 – high (some residual fatigue may be present even after 2 days)
- Greater than 450 – very high (residual fatigue lasting several days likely)
As well, the cumulative TSS per week or per month can be used help identify the maximum intensity and volume of training that still leads to improvements, rather than overtraining.

In a basement lab at NYU Langone Medical Center in Manhattan last month, students in scrubs and surgical gloves hovered over cadavers on gurneys, preparing, as would-be doctors have for centuries, to separate rib cages and examine organs. But the dead are imperfect stand-ins for the living. Death — and embalming fluid — take a toll.
So, in an adjacent classroom, a group of students wearing 3-D glasses made by Nvidia, a graphics processing firm, dissected a virtual cadaver projected on a screen. Using a computer to control the stereoscopic view, they swooped through the virtual body, its sections as brightly colored as living tissue. First, the students scrutinized layers of sinewy pink muscles layered over ivory bones. Then, with the click of a mouse, they examined a close-up of the heart, watching as deep blue veins and bright red arteries made the heart pump.
Compared with the real cadavers in the lab next door, the virtual one seemed as dynamic as Imax.
Now, if only health care was as promising as this, food for thought, don't you think?

Click here for this week's specials at Forza Sports
Forza Sports on Amazon is a store selling sports equipment and apparel. Their focus is on fitness supplies and equipment, but they also do sell a wide range of sporting goods, boxing supplies, sparring gloves, camping and fishing equipment, hunting and tactical, and more. Click on the blue link above to find out what specials and sales they are currently offering on sports and fitness gear.
Feedback History
Forza Sports has been selling on Amazon since 2009. They have earned over 14,000 total positive feedback ratings on eBay, with a 4.8 overall score. Forza Sports is also rated as a #1 Best Seller in many of the categories that they sell on Amazon. This basically means that they offer both a competitive price, as well as a history of customer satisfaction in those categories.
Forza Sports on Amazon is a very large sized sports equipment store. They carry over 20,000 items from name brand manufacturer's like Leatherman, Hanes, Finis, Harbinger, Spalding, Jaybird, Trigger Point Performance, Contigo, Quest Nutrition, Mueller, SKLZ, and more.
If you've been to a sports or fitness store lately, you will recognize the products and brands in this store. Models such as TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller, Valeo Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights, Inred Dual Ab Wheel, etc.
This is a fairly large Amazon store, as they have over 6,500 items in stock. Forza Sports sells on eBay as well, but the two stores are very different. On eBay, Forza focuses more on MMA equipment and gear. Over here on the Amazon side, their focus is more on sports and fitness products.
Forza Sports started out as an MMA equpiment store in 2008, but has since become a sporting goods store selling team and individual sporting products, fitness products, apparel, camping and hunting items, and tactical gear. If you shopped in this store years ago, it is now completely different. The overall look is similar, but the inventory now covers a much wider range.
What I like or don't like
Their storefront is very well organized, and professional looking. You have a graphic store menu where you can shop by brand, and special categories, as well as a top side text category menu. Each category also has a drop down sub category menu as well. So it is very easy to navigate, and find what you are looking for.
I do appreciate their attention to detail in their listings though. Each listing has clear and large pictures, so you really get to see in detail what you are buying. Their product descriptions describe the product in details, and provide all of the necessary information, like color, model, package content, etc.
Their excellent feedback really makes you feel secure in shopping from this Amazon store. As does their 60-day hassle free returns policy. No need to email back for a return authorization, or deal with with annoying emails back and forth. You just click on return, and send it back. And having a two months to do so is quite convenient.

Remember this Dior ensemble?
Whose color palette inspired the upcoming wedding of a young bride-to-be?
Remember the post about this Dior-inspired ring pillow?
Well, a few months after that post, she contacted me again requesting a flower girl basket.
So, I sent her an image of the handmade fabric flower cone my flower girl carried in my wedding (made by my mom) and proposed a Dior-inspired version:
~Black double-faced satin ribbon handles
~blushy nude brocade for the body
~ruffled vintage noir swiss dot fabric topped with a thin black velvet ribbon
~adorned with a handmade Parisienne petal flower pin
~lined in soft brushed satin in a creamy latte hue
Quite a decadent flower girl "basket" I would say!
a romantic Dior color palette: nude, champagne, a hint of blush and noir
I know I have said this before, but this flower girl cone is my favorite thing I've made so far. I felt inspired to make another one for myself. I also couldn't help but imagine the little flower girl's dress? What color is the dress? What style? I can only imagine!
To view more pictures/details of this handmade flower girl cone,
visit Weddings à la parisienne.
We will be busy with lots of summer activities including a little vacation, the rest of this month, so you may not see much of me or hear from me for a couple of weeks, but I'll be back soon!

DAYTON — After the hustle bustle of the holidays and the first snow of the season, it's tempting to hunker down during the month of January and hibernate. But Community Blood Center hopes you'll venture out when able to make a New Year's blood donation.
January is National Blood Donor Month, a tradition that began in 1970 to raise awareness that blood is often in short supply during the winter months. The challenge begins with December's holiday activities, vacations and family travel. The arrival of winter brings snow storms, school cancelations, difficult road conditions and seasonal illness combine to make blood collections more difficult.
CBC begins the New Year with an ample reserve and careful blood collection planning in place to reliably provide the blood and blood products needed to its 25 partner hospitals and health centers across a 15-county service area.
"We have to be constantly vigilant, and consistently recycle the blood types and blood products that may be needed at a moment's notice," said CBC Chief Operating Officer Jodi Minneman. We have collection goals to meet every day, no matter what obstacles we face. We count on our donors to help us overcome any challenge."
CBC must register approximately 300 blood and platelet donors per day, with an average of seven mobile blood drives per day.
National Blood Donor Month is also a time to honor all those who donate whole blood, platelets, and plasma. "We love our donors," said Jodi. "They care so much for the good of our community."
Blood is needed approximately every two seconds to treat patients with cancer and other diseases, organ transplant recipients, and accident victims. Car accident victims may require dozens of units of blood and blood products.
Only 37 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood, and less than 10 percent donate annually. A whole blood donation takes about an hour. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call (800) 388-GIVE.
If you are at least 17 years of age (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds (you may have to weigh more depending on your height) and meet other donor requirements, you may be eligible to donate blood. Learn more at www.GivingBlood.org.

Terms and conditions
Important: These terms of sale were made by the Consumer Authority. The web version can be found here: https://www.forbrukertilsynet.no/lov-og-rett/veiledninger-og-retningslinjer/2179-2.

We strongly recommend that you seek legal support to customize this template to your company's use. Enter the information for your company under item 2.
This purchase is governed by the following standard terms of sale for consumer purchases of goods over the Internet. Consumer purchases over the internet are mainly regulated by the Contract Act, the Consumer Purchase Act, the Marketing Act, the Right to Reconciliation Act and the e-Commerce Act, and these laws give the consumer unqualified rights. The laws are available at www.lovdata.no. The terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as limiting the statutory rights, but shall establish the Parties' principal rights and obligations to trade.
The terms of sale have been prepared and recommended by the Consumer Authority. For a better understanding of these terms of sale, see the Consumer Authority's guide here.
1. Agreement
The agreement consists of these terms of sale, information provided in the ordering solution and any specially agreed terms. In the event of any conflict between the information, what is specifically agreed between the parties precedes, provided that this does not conflict with mandatory legislation.
In addition, the agreement will be filled in by relevant legal provisions governing the purchase of goods between businesses and consumers.
2. Parts
The seller is [Name], [Contact address], [e-mail], [telephone number], [organization number], and is hereinafter referred to as the seller / seller.
The buyer is the consumer who makes the order and is hereinafter referred to as the buyer / buyer
3. Price
The stated price for the item and services is the total price the buyer must pay. This price includes all fees and additional costs. Additional costs that the seller sells before the purchase has not informed, the buyer shall not bear.
4. Agreement
The agreement is binding on both parties when the buyer has sent his order to the seller.
However, the agreement is not binding if there has been a write or key error in the offer from the seller in the ordering solution in the online store or in the buyer's order, and the other party realized or should have realized that there was such a mistake.
5. Payment
The seller may demand payment for the goods from the time it is sent from the seller to the buyer.
If the buyer uses a credit card or debit card upon payment, the seller can reserve the purchase price on the card when ordering. The card is charged the same day the item is shipped.
When paying by invoice, the invoice of the buyer is issued upon shipment of the goods. The payment deadline is stated in the invoice and is a minimum of 14 days from receipt.
Buyers under the age of 18 cannot pay with subsequent invoice.
6. Deliver
Delivery has occurred when the buyer, or his representative, has taken over the thing.
If the delivery date is not stated in the ordering solution, the seller shall deliver the goods to the buyer without undue delay and no later than 30 days after the order from the customer. The goods must be delivered to the buyer unless otherwise specifically agreed between the parties.
7. The risk of the item
The risk of the goods moving to the buyer when he, or his representative, has received the goods delivered in accordance with point 6.
8. Right of withdrawal
Unless the agreement is exempt from the right of withdrawal, the buyer can undo the purchase of the goods in accordance with the right of withdrawal.
The buyer must give the seller notice of the use of the right of withdrawal within 14 days from the time limit begins to run. The deadline includes all calendar days. If the deadline ends on a Saturday, public holiday or holiday day, the deadline is extended to the next working day.
The cancellation deadline is deemed to be complied with if the message is sent before the expiry of the deadline. The buyer has the burden of proof that the right of withdrawal has been applied, and the message should therefore be in writing (right of withdrawal form, e-mail or letter).
The grace period begins to run:
When purchasing individual goods, the cancellation period will run from the day after the goods (s) are received.
If a subscription is sold, or involves the agreement regularly delivering identical goods, the deadline will run from the day after the first shipment is received.
If the purchase consists of several deliveries, the cancellation period will run from the day after the last delivery is received.
The cancellation deadline is extended to 12 months after the expiry of the original deadline if the seller does not state before the conclusion of the agreement that there is a right of withdrawal and a standardized claim form. The same applies if there is a lack of information on terms, deadlines and procedures for using the right of withdrawal. However, if the trader provides the information during these 12 months, the cancellation period expires 14 days after the day the buyer received the information.
When using the right of withdrawal, the goods must be returned to the seller without undue delay and no later than 14 days from notification of the use of the right of withdrawal is given. The buyer covers the direct costs of returning the goods, unless otherwise agreed or the seller has failed to state that the buyer will cover the return costs. The seller cannot set a fee for the buyer's use of the right of withdrawal.
The buyer can try or test the goods in a proper manner to determine the nature of the goods, properties and function, without the cancellation right falling away. If testing or testing of the goods goes beyond what is justifiable and necessary, the buyer can be responsible for any reduced value of the goods.
The seller is obliged to repay the purchase price to the buyer without undue delay, and no later than 14 days from the seller received notice of the buyer's decision to use the right of withdrawal. The seller has the right to withhold payment until he has received the goods from the buyer, or to the buyer has submitted documentation that the goods have been sent back.
9. Delay and non-delivery - Buyer's rights and deadline to report claims
If the seller does not deliver the goods or delivers them too late according to the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the buyer or conditions on the buyer's side, the buyer may, in accordance with the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act chapter 5, keep the purchase price back, demand fulfillment, cancel the agreement and / or claim compensation from the seller.
In the event of a claim for default, the notification of evidence should be in writing (for example, e-mail).
The buyer can maintain the purchase and demand fulfillment from the seller. The buyer cannot, however, demand fulfillment if there is an obstacle that the seller cannot overcome, or if fulfillment will entail such a great disadvantage or cost for the seller that it is in material disproportion with the buyer's interest in the seller fulfilling. Should the difficulties fall away within a reasonable time, the buyer may still demand fulfillment.
The buyer loses his right to demand fulfillment if he or she waits unreasonably long to promote the claim.
Raising purchases
If the seller does not deliver the goods at the time of delivery, the buyer shall encourage the seller to deliver within a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment. If the seller does not deliver the goods within the additional deadline, the buyer can cancel the purchase.
However, the buyer may cancel the purchase immediately if the seller refuses to deliver the goods. The same applies if the delivery at the agreed time was decisive for the conclusion of the agreement, or if the buyer has informed the seller that the time of delivery is decisive.
If the goods are delivered after the additional deadline the consumer has set or after the time of delivery that was decisive for the conclusion of the agreement, the claim for cancellation must be made applicable within a reasonable time after the buyer was informed of the delivery.
The buyer may claim compensation for a small loss as a result of the delay. This does not, however, apply if the seller proves that the delay is due to an obstacle outside the seller's control which could not reasonably have been taken into account during the contract period, avoided, or overcome the consequences of.
10. Lack of goods - buyer's rights and deadline for complaints
If there is a defect in the item, buyer must within a reasonable time after it was discovered or should have been discovered, give the seller notice that he or she will invoke the defect. The buyer has always advertised in time if it happens within 2 months. from the defect was discovered or should have been discovered. Complaints can be made no later than two years after the buyer took over the goods. If the item or part of it is intended to last significantly longer than two years, the complaint deadline is five years.
If the goods have a defect and this is not due to the buyer or circumstances on the buyer's side, according to the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act chapter 6, according to the circumstances, the buyer can withhold the purchase price, choose between rectification and replacement, demand a price reduction, demand the agreement raised and / or claim compensation from seller.
Complaints to the seller should be made in writing.
Correction or replacement
The buyer may choose to claim the defect corrected or the delivery of similar items. The seller may nevertheless oppose the buyer's claim if the execution of the claim is impossible or causes the seller unreasonable costs. Correction or replacement must be done within a reasonable time. Initially, the seller is not entitled to make more than two relief attempts for the same defect.
Price reduction
The buyer may demand an appropriate price reduction if the item is not corrected or redirected. This means that the relationship between the reduced and the agreed price corresponds to the ratio between the value of the goods in defective and contractual condition. If special reasons so indicate, the price reduction can instead be set equal to the significance of the defect for the buyer.
If the item is not corrected or redirected, the buyer may also cancel the purchase when the defect is not insignificant.
11. The seller's rights at the buyer's default
If the buyer does not pay or meet the other obligations under the agreement or the law, and this is not due to the seller or conditions on the seller's side, the seller may, in accordance with the rules in the consumer purchase law chapter 9, keep the goods back, demand the fulfillment of the agreement, demand the agreement raised as well as claim compensation from the buyer. The seller may also, in the circumstances, claim interest on late payment, collection fee and a reasonable fee for uncollected goods.
The seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pay the purchase price. If the goods are not delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits unreasonably long to promote the claim.
The seller may terminate the agreement if there is a substantial payment default or other material breach on the part of the buyer. However, the seller cannot raise if the entire purchase price is paid. If the seller determines a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment and the buyer does not pay within this deadline, the seller may cancel the purchase.
Interest on late payment / collection fee
If the buyer does not pay the purchase price according to the agreement, the seller can claim interest on the purchase price according to the delay interest rate law. In the event of non-payment, the claim can, after prior notice, be sent to the Buyer can then be held liable for fee according to the debt collection law.
Fee for uncollected non-prepaid goods
If the buyer fails to collect unpaid goods, the seller may charge the buyer with a fee. The fee must cover the seller's actual outlay to deliver the goods to the buyer. Such a fee cannot be charged to buyers under the age of 18.
12. Warranty
Warranty provided by the seller or manufacturer gives the buyer rights in addition to those the buyer already has under mandatory law. Thus, a guarantee does not imply any limitations on the buyer's right to claim and claims in case of delay or defects according to items 9 and 10.
13. Personal information
The person responsible for processing personal data collected is the seller. Unless the buyer agrees otherwise, the seller, in accordance with the Personal Data Act, can only collect and store the personal information that is necessary for the seller to be able to carry out the obligations under the agreement. The buyer's personal information will only be provided to others if it is necessary for the seller to have the agreement with the buyer, or in the legal case.
14. Conflict Resolution
Complaints are addressed to the seller within a reasonable time, cf. paragraphs 9 and 10. The parties shall endeavor to resolve any disputes amicably. If this does not succeed, the buyer can contact the Consumer Council for mediation. The Consumer Council is available on telephone +47 23 400 500 or www.forbrukerradet.no.

Soon after the Michigan State Prison was built at Jackson, "Agents"—the term for prison wardens at the time–began contracting inmates out to companies that wanted cheap labor.
The Jackson Wagon Company built a factory on the grounds of the Michigan State Prison. Their wagons had earned a reputation for strength and durability during the 1849 California gold rush.
In the early 1880s Jackson Wagon Company received a telegram from the world-famous circus master P.T. Barnum. He inquired whether the Jackson company could build a wagon that was sturdy enough to hold 13,000 pounds. It seemed that one of Barnum's star attractions, Jumbo the Elephant, was getting old and could no longer walk in circus parades. The show must go on and the elephant needed help.
Inmates working at the company built the wagon and it was shipped to London for Barnum and Bailey's European tour. Once assembled, the wagon bore the weight of the mammoth pachyderm and he was mobile again, travelling the world in his own custom-made Jackson Wagon.
But the story of Jumbo and his wagon did not end happily. On September 15, 1885, at a track crossing at St. Thomas, Ontario, Jumbo was struck by a locomotive and dragged 300 feet down the rails until the train derailed. Overcome with grief, Jumbo's handler wept and held the elephant's trunk as he died.
But Barnum was a showman after all, and he had the elephant stuffed and put on display at his circus. Jumbo's skeleton was assembled and exhibited at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for many years.
Many fascinating stories like this one are featured in our special exhibit, States of Incarceration. This national traveling exhibit explores the history and impact of mass incarceration nationwide and the Michigan History Museum has added stories throughout to reflect specifically on Michigan's place in the past and future of mass incarceration. The exhibit closes May 19, 2019, so plan your visit today!

It has been awhile since I have gotten in two blog posts in a week, but this week, we need to get it done. There were good things last week and they deserve to be recognized!
- Amazon Prime – This is one of those things that I think I may be a little shallow about, but goodness gracious, I love Amazon Prime! Lots of people like it for the streaming video and whatnot. I love it for the free and quick shipping! This week I had this great idea to order some protein bars, some more coffee and a new calendar. I ordered them Sunday and I had them by Tuesday. A couple weeks ago, we ordered a new Weber Gas Grill. It was crazy heavy and it was delivered free. We have gotten our moneys worth out of it for sure! Call me a fan.
- Two work related shout outs – A few months ago, one of the people that I manage asked me to write a letter of recommendation for her for graduate school. This week she found out that she got accepted. She was so thankful to me for writing the letter, but really, seeing her spirit to get working on a new chapter of her life was something that just made me feel great! The other thing at work was that I had one of my co-workers come to my door on Monday to see if I was going to a presentation at the hospital. I hadn't signed up in time so I wasn't register. She encouraged me to come with her anyway. I ended up getting in and it was very good. The best thing, however, was her coming to me; encouraging me; and being happy for me when I got in. Both of these examples seem very simple as I write them, but they are the kinds of things that can change the flavor of a day.
- Notes under my pillow – I believe I have noted that Dan has been doing some crazy traveling lately. I am not sure how many miles he has traveled over the last month, but it is pretty significant. More often than not, when I get into bed on the night he has left, there is a note under my pillow. This week's note was a particularly good one! It kind of makes me miss him more when he is gone, but that isn't a bad thing.
- Mini road trip with food and song – For some reason, I always think that Lawrence is much farther away than it is. We really need to get there more often! Braving the crazy rain storm Saturday night, we met friends at 715 in Lawrence for a wonderful meal. I had the rabbit ravioli – which I believe is the first pasta dish that I have had since starting this South Beach thing. The filling had a little hint of sweet which was a nice balance to the richness of the rabbit. I also had a Sidecar and a Manhattan that were killer.The service was very nice and our waiter got us out of there in time to go to our second Lawrence outing – a concert by the Simon Carrington Chamber Singers. I am not sure that I have heard choral singing since high school days, but this group is pretty amazing. They also had a high school ensemble perform with them. I am not a good enough musician to understand why the high schoolers weren't almost as good as the professionals, but they were sure impressive. While I probably will not make choral music a part of my repertoire, I am glad that I did it, and it made for a lovely mini road trip ending!
- Outing on my own – I am going to cheat a little here and bring in something from two weeks ago. Thursday is usually my Friday at work. Two weeks ago on Thursday, at the end of the day, I had the window open in my office. It was a beautiful day, and I could hear a band warming up for an evening concert. The band was They Might Be Giants. I love this band, plus I have an especially warm place in my heart for them, because I think it was the first band I introduced one of my children to that they really love too. I knew they were playing, and I had toyed with the idea of going. But hadn't really asked anyone and Dan was still gone. I just went. At 7:00, when the gates were open, I shut down my computer, and drove the couple blocks to the venue. It was so fun! I stood right by the stage during their performance. I got a concert t-shirt. I was home by 11:00! I am so glad that I did that! Then, this week, I had some movie coupons that were about to expire so I went to go see Ironman 3. Loved it too (other than the movie previews that came on before it. They kind of scared the beejeezus out of me.). I have never minded doing things on my own, but I haven't really done it that much lately (my creepiest example of me doing something on my own was when I went to the drive-in by myself while I was home from college to go see the Deerhunter.) These were some good things.

Uncomfortable. It's something I've literally always avoided. I'd rather just not, and stay in my comfortable and familiar place.
This year, you guys, it's all about being uncomfortable.
Things don't change without discomfort. Trying new things isn't easy. Growth isn't easy, learning, failure. You have to be uncomfortable first. Trying new things is scary. It's hard to change.
I tell my kids that they need to try new things. That it's okay to fail. That they don't have to be perfect. Here I am, avoiding new things, afraid to fail. What is this? Why am I afraid? Who am I afraid of? A bunch of strangers on the internet scrolling past my photos instead of stopping and liking them? Nonsense.
This year, it's going to hurt. That good hurt that you get after a really good workout (which is also on my 2018 to-do list…). It's going to be a year of stretching out who I am, what I know how to do. Adventuring past familiar.
I'm teaching a class next week. You guys. I'm teaching. A. Class. Who said I could teach my own class? What makes me qualified? Why am I enough of an expert in anything to tell anyone else what to do? Well, I'm not. And I guess I said I could teach a class. And sure, it's new. And scary. And I could fail miserably, but I'm doing it anyway.
I am not one for resolutions. But I can see things that I would like to improve on this year, areas for growth and reflection. Spots than I can strengthen. Like the BeachBody spot, for one. I'd like to make it to the part where I can sit down the day after PIYO and get back up again. See, uncomfortable goals.
I'd like to say no. And say yes. To say, hey, I think we should not to some relationships in my life. Close some open doors. Open some closed doors. Hell, let's work out all those hard feelings in 2018.
2017 was a big year for me. I finally became comfortable knowing who I am in a whole bunch of ways. I found my creative voice, my place in this noisy world of photography on the internet. 2018 is all about growing that comfortable to who new uncomfortable levels.
So let's do this. Let's go further than we thought possible. Let's try new things. Let's say yes, and more importantly, let's say no. Let's know who we are.

Trails of the Angeles by John Robinson
The rugged San Gabriel Mountains, rising starkly from the edge of the Los Angeles Basin, provide a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and its surroundings. Angelinos across the county (a population of almost 10 million), as well as visitors from out of state, welcome the opportunity to escape from city chaos into the quiet wilderness.
This 9th edition of the classic Wilderness Press guide has been revised and updated to reflect recent trail changes, and now includes trips in the Fish Canyon Narrows, along Alder Creek, and to Jones Peak, as well as perennial favorites such as Old Baldy, Mt. Wilson, and Devils Punchbowl. Each detailed trip description notes the distance, difficulty, and ideal season, and points out the highlights of the trail. The guide includes a companion 4-color waterproof topo map.

Hey guys! Today on the show, we throw the 2018 KIA Stinger GT on a dyno to see how much power it's making, after only a couple of modifications and tweaks from John at Tork Motorsports, in Seattle, Washington! Just for fun, we roll up my MR2 against the Stinger to see how it compares and also to get a sense of how much power we can make in a few weeks with some proper tuning and supporting mods!

The Effect of LVAD Unloading on Cardiac Recovery in Patients with Ischemic and Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
Key Takeaways
- Myocardial function improvement following mechanical unloading with durable LVADs may occur in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy, but at a much lower rate than those with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (21% vs 5%).
- Little is known about the effect of LVADs on myocardial structure and function following treatment for ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).
- Peak LVEF can be achieved 6 months after LVAD support.
- Patient characteristics dictate the most favorable duration of mechanical unloading in patients with ICM.
- This study showed that chronic mechanical unloading can improve myocardial structure and function in both nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and ICM patients.

I confess that the one and only time I reviewed Rosemary Clooney I went backstage and willfully and knowingly basked in her natural charm and gracious personality, along with a whole room full of her chums from the Hartford area who had gathered to chat and reminisce with their famous old friend.
And committing the worst of all mortal sins for a critic, I gave Rosie a friendly hug and kiss when it came to time to leave.
I recalled my pleasant fall from journalistic grace last weekend when I was saddened to hear the news that Clooney, after a long battle with lung cancer, had died Saturday night at her home in Beverly Hills. She was 74.
My mind flashed back immediately to that Sunday afternoon at The Bushnell in 1995.
Smiling and radiant with a post-concert glow, she made a few friendly departing remarks about how much she loved Hartford -- a town she was actually quite familiar with -- and how great the Bushnell audience had been.
Sure, the kiss was an impulsive act, a spontaneous and sinful desecration of journalistic objectivity.
But you only live once.
With the sacrosanct veneer of the reviewer's integrity pleasantly compromised, I headed back to The Courant and the real world of deadlines. Then, of course, I wrote a completely objective account of Clooney's splendid performance before a mostly silver-haired crowd of fans who had turned out on Super Bowl Sunday.
As Clooney edged deeper into her 60s and 70s, her vocal range contracted. That's inevitable. But as a kind of divine compensation, her expressive range expanded. Her later style was spare, even minimalist. Yet it was graced with clarity, a new emotional edge and a profound awareness of the meaning of the lyrics matched by only a handful of other pop/jazz singers, rivaling even that of the 20th-century master, Frank Sinatra.
Clooney's neat, vibrant sense of time -- a quality she might have picked up from Bing Crosby -- was flawless. Even the little latter-day rasp that creeped into her voice and her ever widening vibrato added to the sense of heartfelt drama she could bring to any pop reflection on love, requited or unrequited.
For all her gifts, though, there was never any diva-like posing, not even a hint of ego-tripping on stage that afternoon.
It seemed like she was singing to a few close friends she had invited into her living room.
Between tunes there was puckish patter, spilling over with self-effacing gags about her growing weight problem and the physical burdens of aging. Seasoned with all of this were her fond recollections of playing at Hartford's old State Theater when she was a kid touring with Middletown native Tony Pastor's Orchestra.
Nor did she mind reprising some of her giant novelty hits (songs she loathed recording), including "Come On-a My House" and "Mambo Italiano."
"Come On-a My House," the brainchild of Columbia Records mega-hit maker Mitch Miller, rocketed Clooney to celebrity in 1951. It led eventually to her role in the classic "White Christmas," with her good buddy Bing Crosby, and even onto the cover of Time magazine.
To bring an all-in-the-family flavor to the festivities at The Bushnell, Clooney even sang a sweet, bubbly duet with her niece, Cathi Campo, daughter of Betty Clooney, Rosemary's sister and onetime singing partner, who died of a brain aneurysm in 1976.
Not only was the music great, but Clooney's unaffected stage presence also was an enormous hit with the audience. Obviously, it was also a big hit with me.
So much so that Donna Larcen, a colleague from The Courant, and I decided to make our way backstage.
It was like walking into a big, lively family reunion. There was Clooney, swapping recollections and laughing out loud with friends from her Tony Pastor days. With gusto, they were swapping anecdotes from the past and memories of massive, superb Italian meals devoured decades ago with Pastor's relatives, all as if it had all happened yesterday.
Just a few days before the concert, I had interviewed Clooney on the phone. Before we talked, I had read her agonizing 1977 memoir, "This for Remembrance."
So I was aware of the litany of personal disasters that she had somehow overcome with enormous bravery and sheer true grit.
As Larcen and I were making our way backstage, all this was cooking in my head. All that painful stuff about Clooney's explosive marriage to the womanizing Jose Ferrer, whom she had married and divorced twice; her nearly lethal drug and alcohol addiction; her mental breakdown; miserable affair with a young stud; unhappy affair with the all-too married orchestrator Nelson Riddle; and how she was devastated by the assassination of her close friend Robert Kennedy
But Clooney was a classic survivor.
Her life's experience, with all its pain and desperation, seemed to have brought her to deeper, wiser readings of the lyrics in classics by the Gershwins, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin and all of America's classic pop composers and lyricists.
So who could not like such a profile in courage?
When Larcen and I intruded backstage into what seemed like a boisterous family reunion, Clooney greeted us with a 100-watt smile and immediately made us feel right at home. It was almost as if we belonged in her inner circle, instead of being interlopers from the local paper.
When it came time to leave, I suppose I just should have shaken hands politely and uttered the standard cliches. But instead, I went for the hug and the kiss. It was done out of admiration and, even more important, out of astonishment not just for her talent but also for the strong sense of human decency and strength she exuded in her classy yet totally unassuming way.
So I did it.
And I'd do it again if the circumstances were exactly the same.
Objectivity be damned!

Random Graph Generation Based p-Method and Box Method for the Evaluation of Power-Aware Routing Protocols of Ad hoc Networks

The objective of this paper is to investigate the best solution such that on which decision should be made to forward a wireless packet. The decision should be made in such a way to keep the node alive by choosing an alternate path, through those nodes that have more power reserve. Minimizing the consumption of the reserve power will results in an increase in the number of hops the packet must travel. A hybrid solution can be utilized which is a combination of power-aware and minimizing the number of hops to be traveled. Recent research suggests that it should select the node with high power reserve than based on the shortest path. A question arises which is more critical for ad hoc networks the power-aware solution or the shortest path based on the number of hops. This research will investigate these solutions aiming on minimizing power consumption for wireless packets networks and the number of hops to be traveled. Through rigorous empirical analysis based on the pmethod and box-space method, we were able to derive critical global properties with respect to end-toend minimum power consumption routes. Finally, a simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed algorithms.

2016 was a huge year of change for me. It was a year of learning, growing, and adapting. For those who might have missed parts, Matt and I separated early in the year, which pretty much rocked both of our worlds. I think, I hope, we are all happier now. Matt and I remain friendly, and Mazen seems to be doing fine.
I have lots of thoughts on divorce in general that I have considered sharing, minus any specific details – things like reflecting on divorce with a child verses what I imagine it would be like without – but I am still pondering whether or not I want to jump into topics like that here. I guess I am waiting to see if it feels right. Perhaps with a little more time it might be. My goal with this space is to help others live their healthiest and best lives, so if sharing some of my thoughts helps others going through the same thing then it's worth sharing.
Despite the changes, Mazen and I had quite a fun year together! And we welcomed some new friends into our lives as well <3 We traveled to the beach twice, started soccer and preK, and played many many games of Batman. And the snuggling was off the charts!!
Thank you all for following and sharing our adventures!

There are some days where the wastefulness in the criminal justice system makes me sick. Last Wednesday, November 7 was one of those days. On the weekend of October 13, 2013, during the government shutdown, the Metropolitan Police Department conducted "Operation off the Streets 2." This operation, which probably cost the city millions of dollars in resources, resulted in the arrest of over 60 people in undercover prostitution operations.
Almost everyone arrested were first time offenders or people with very limited criminal history. Almost everyone arrested was released on what's called "citation release." That means the police released them at the station after booking them and gave them a citation to come to court at a future date. That brings us to November 7—the day they set all 60 of these arrests for arraignment. Some of them hired DC prostitution lawyers in advance others got court appointed attorneys on the day of arraignment.

Under the PISCEES SciDAC project, we are developing an unstructured grid finite element dynamical core for incorporation as the Land Ice component in ACME. This velocity solver makes very heavy use of math libraries from the Trilinos suite of computational science tools; including linear solvers, nonlinear solvers, discretization tools, automatic differentiation, and uncertainty quantification tools. The quasi-steady solver is linked to both CISM and MPAS for the advection solve and linking to the full earth system model.
