Houston Texans' Brian Cushing hit with 10-game doping ban
By AFP
Last Updated: 14/09/17 11:33am
Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing has been suspended 10 games without pay for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Cushing's suspension begins immediately, although he had already been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after suffering a concussion in the Texans' season-opening 29-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Cushing, 30, will be eligible to return to the roster on November 28, one day after the Texans take on the Baltimore Ravens.
Cushing was suspended for four games by the league in 2010 for testing positive for a fertility drug that was on the NFL's banned substances list.
Cushing has collected 652 tackles, 13 sacks and eight interceptions in 100 career games since he was taken in by Houston in the first round of the 2009 draft.

How Just One Color Can Lead the Way!
In my Friday class we are exploring different types of underpaintings we can choose as a beginning for our pastels.
Some of the benefits of using an underpainting are:
- It creates unity in the painting
- It establishes mood
- It helps you secure your values
It takes a while to get used to this technique, but you can see in the example above that Sandy's painting is off to a good start.
The Monochromatic Underpainting above is good for moody paintings and atmospheric effects. The secret is to choose at least three values of one color to lightly block in the painting. Then, set the color with a wash of rubbing alcohol applied with a brush.
Click here to see a monochromatic underpainting demonstration.
In this week's class I will demonstrate a Complementary Color Underpainting!
I really enjoyed the opening of CT Pastel Society's Renaissance in Pastels on Sunday. Artist, Deborah Quinn-Munson did a talk about all of the artwork in the show.
I'll tell you what she said about my painting on Friday!

I have a recipe for you that is
cheap frugal and a phenomenal hit with the right audience. I made them the first time for Christopher's poker game and they were a smashing success with the guys who named the recipe "Poker Pretzels." If cooking the day of a holiday party is way too tiring for you, make these a day or two beforehand. Even if you're not signed up to bring anything to holiday parties, spend $3.00, add these to the appetizer table and enjoy the compliments. But maybe put a little note labeling them as spicy!
1 packet Old El Paso hot & spicy taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 medium sized bag of mini pretzels (12 oz- 16oz works well)
A healthy dash of each of these (or some of these) (or some other spicy flavors you like): Worchestire, Siracha, Habenaria, red pepper flakes
While your oven is preheating to 250′, mix everything except the pretzels in a very large bowl. Once the sauce is mixed, add the pretzels and stir well with a long wooden spoon. Spread the wet & seasoned pretzels out on a large cookie sheet with edges. Try not to overlap pretzels as much you can. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring the pretzels every 10 minutes. Let the cookie sheet of pretzels cool for many hours – you don't want contain the pretzels too early because they get mushy. Serve room temperature. They keep well in an airtight bag or container for at least a week.
Credit: Before I added some extra flavors, I worked from this recipe by Alicia Stoltenberg.

Coaching covers a multitude of sins. It's very clever yet very simple. Here is an example. Ask yourself when speaking to a potential client:What is my intention and the outcomes I want from this meeting with this person? The skills can be polished from focussing on outcomes, goal and success methodology and the waysthat have been proven to work time and again for success at work. These are the trade in stock of the executive coach and their modus operandi is their exceptional executive coaching.
What is the result I want to have at the end of the meeting or interaction or conference?
Can I specify company training or coaching to my HR department?
What kind of relationship do I wish to have with my customers?
Here are some things to think about:
It's all about self-awareness.
Only 15% of the individuals understand exactly what they know.
Just 15% of the individuals understand exactly what they understand and have no idea what they do not know.
70% of individuals have no idea the things that they do not know, which is called the blind spots in people have.
Knowledge about what you know and you do not know comes through training. For that reason, it depends on the coach to assist the client to comprehend exactly what they know and what they do not understand. Whenever you meet a possible customer some of the things an executive coach ought to also offer suggested readings on company books.
Here are some concerns that a company coach need to ask their prospective clients to assist them to acknowledge that they have a have to deal with a coach to construct a business:
What do not you have that you desire to have in your life?
Exactly what are you committed to in your life?
How unreasonable would it be to be willing to develop your self and your future for yourself?
Are you coachable? You may need to take a training needs analysis – EQworks have a fabulous process we used. Very insightful even before the assessments and coaching.
Who holds you accountable for your everyday activities? Where's the commitment?
Do you understand ways to hold your workers accountable for their activities and actions?
Can you start to see a possible blind area we could work on?
Assist them to see the methods they are struggling in their business. When A company coach has good communication with your customers they offer leadership and responsibility for the growth of the company.
An executive coach should have a handle on ways to assist their clients in discovering how to think outside of the box when it pertains to developing a successful business, leadership, deparmtment, culture or similar. when someone decides to open a company they frequently forget to have an objective in mind all their company or a method on ways to construct their business. The purpose of a business coach is to assist a company owner come up with a vision for their company, assist them to be responsible for their actions to construct an effective business, and as soon as they begin the company the best ways to move it to the next level.

Unconscious Bias
What we do
As individuals, each of us tends to see the world, and other people, through the lens of our own unconscious bias. In the workplace this can and does lead to people being unintentionally excluded or 'overlooked'. In our view this is one of the key reasons why, in most organisations, certain groups are under-represented in the talent pipeline. Understanding this topic can therefore be a key enabler of fully developing an organisation's talent.
Our practical, interactive sessions on this topic:
• Build awareness and understanding about what unconscious bias is, why and how it occurs
• Clarify and 'demystify' the key concepts and language associated with this subject
• Help participants relate to the topic by drawing on their own experience and perspectives
• Explore the implications it has, especially for the world of work
• Enable participants to develop practical strategies to recognise and manage unconscious bias, whether as an employee/colleague or as a manager/leader.
We can provide tailor-made modular options to suit the specific requirements you have, the intended participants and the time available. These can be delivered as one-off, stand-alone sessions or can be integrated into other development/training opportunities.
Our way of working on this topic is always highly interactive, with the aim of people gaining practical insights and tools to work with after the session. We create a safe and relaxed environment in which people can explore this subject and 'connect' with it in ways that are relevant and tangible.

Here's the interesting part: King Obama says the people cannot know what is in the TPP. I guess we are just degenerates with no intellect. This story gets better. Not only can the the people not know what is in the trade agreement, Congress is forbidden from talking about it. The documents are in the basement of the capital. If congress or members of Government wants see the documents, they must; be escorted the entire time, they cannot re order or take notes, they are handed one page at a time, and they have been threatened with imprisonment for any dissemination of information. What could possibly be good about MASSIVE legislation that the public can not know the details of?
Stop the TPP. plain and simple.
I accept the debate.
Burden of proof is on Pro to affirm the resolution; to win, I just have to refute his case. There are several problems with Pro's (only) argument:
(1) It does not even attempt to affirm the resolution -- it doesn't show why we should "stop the TPP". All it does is show that the government needs to be more transparent about TPP negotiations. A need for transparency is not the same thing as a need for elimination.
(2) There's a good reason why the negotiations have to be kept secret -- it's to prevent domestic special interest groups (e.g. lobbies, corporations, etc) from influencing the process. This is important because historically, such groups have successfully been able to push for reforms and minor edits to various bills which benefited themselves at the expense of everyone else (for example, the ban on buying prescription drugs from Canada).
(3) Once the negotiations are complete, the specifics of the TPP will be made public anyhow, so it won't actually be subverting the democratic process, as Pro seems to be claiming.
Pro's only argument is flawed on three levels. The resolution is negated.
So again, I affirm that any legislation that is clandestine in nature, that has to be concealed from the public, a reasonable person would believe there will be much opposition to the agreement itself, as well as extra that will be involved. There is no viable reason the American people should not have full disclosure of a major trade deal.
So, what you are debating me on, why this should be allowed to pass.
Good luck.
The first point is nothing but a bare assertion; why is secrecy an innately bad thing? I already gave a valid justification for the secrecy involved (which Pro didn't even attempt to respond to), and like I said, the specifics of the TPP will be revealed anyways once negotiations are over, so it won't get passed without undergoing the democratic process. The lack of transparency involved in TPP negotiations does not serve as sufficient reason to "stop the TPP".
The second point is flawed as well, because the general idea of the TPP is quite well-known -- it is a free trade agreement between the US, Canada, and various Asian countries with booming economies. Given my opponent's ideology, I doubt he would contest that free trade results in economic growth for everyone involved, and in addition to that, the partnership would ensure that the US continues to have a large geopolitical influence in the region (which, again, I think my opponent would concede is a good thing). So there is no reason to believe that the secrecy is due to the TPP being a bad idea -- it is far more likely that the secrecy is there in order to prevent special interest groups from influencing negotiations at the expense of everyone else.
Pro's case fails. The resolution is negated.

The debate over TPA is whether or not the administration can negotiate the treaty, and submit the treaty to Congress without any amendments.

Manos - The Hands of Fate, worst movie of all time
The making of the worst film in history...Harold P. Warren (October 23, 1923 – December 26, 1985), better known as Hal Warren, was an insurance and fertilizer salesman who lived in the El Paso, Texas area. He is best remembered for writing, directing, and producing the 1966 movie "Manos" The Hands of Fate.
Manos is remembered as one of the worst films of all time.
Warren made Manos on a bet. He had met Stirling Silliphant, who was in the area scouting locations for a film. Warren bet Silliphant (who would later write the award winning screenplay for In the Heat of the Night) that he could make a successful horror movie on a limited budget.
Warren raised about $20,000. He managed to find an old 16-millimeter Bell & Howell camera to use on the film. Because the camera was spring wound, it could only shoot just over 30 seconds of film at a time.
After casting himself in the starring role of Michael, he approached locals to play the other roles, as well as fill crew positions. He did not pay anyone, instead promising people a percentage of the profits.
Warren and two others also dubbed all the voices, as the camera was not capable of capturing sound.
For two months, Warren, the cast, and crew filmed at County Judge Colbert Coldwell's ranch. Warren's prima donna attitude caused much friction among those working on the film, who began calling the film Mangos: The Cans of Fruit behind his back.
When the time came to premiere the film in El Paso, Warren turned the premiere into a media event. He hired a limousine to carry the cast to the theater. But a few minutes into the film, the audience began heckling it, and soon broke down into hysterics. Manos had a short run on some drive-in theaters in West Texas. Afterwards, the movie was largely forgotten until it was featured in Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1993...

This article is meant to help you learn about what causes of acne and find out ways to treat it.
One important method for protection against acne is not picking at your skin. Popping or picking at pimples can cause bacteria around that causes acne. You are also taking the risk of leaving scars behind.
Avoid zits by using clean pillowcase every night.Just think about rolling all over this every night.
If you frequently have breakouts around your mouth, look at your dental treatments. Tooth whitening products can cause zits problems.The skin around the mouth is extremely sensitive and prone to breakouts.
Extreme temperatures can also cause acne to worsen. You will sweat more when temperatures get high. Sweat can irritate and clog your pores. This could result in acne. Cold weather can sap moisture from your skin and create irritation. Neither one of the two is desirable.
The natural properties of chamomile tea serve as a great herbal acne remedy.
Avoiding stressful situations can help you combat acne. Stress won't give you zits, but it can actually exacerbate the problem.
You may have fewer breakouts if you try to avoid sources of caffeine intake from your diet.
Getting some sun can actually help to clear up your pimples. The oil in your skin dry up. You may notice that the zits gets worse at first, as your skin's oils will begin rising to the surface.
Don't use more than one pimples creams at one time. Many people rushing to treat their pimples decide to mix up various medications in the hope that a mixture will work. Acne creams have different chemicals that can greatly damage your skin if they are mixed together.
Garlic helps to purge the toxins in your system and help new skin grow. Add garlic to your diet in any way that you want improved pimples.
If you have access to a nearby pool, try to take advantage of it and swim as often as you can. Swimming provides exercise to relax and relaxation that can help control your pimples. Chlorine from the pool water may actually help reduce zits.
Did you know that using your acne can be caused from your phone? Cell phones collect oil from your hair and then puts it back on your face.You can clean your phone with a cotton ball to keep it free from these oils.
Popping Pimples
One way to prevent localized acne breakouts is to avoid popping pimples and touching their face if they plan to improve their acne. By not touching their face, less oil will be transferred to the skin. Popping pimples can spread bacteria and cause infections or even scarring.
Do not touch the areas that are fighting zits. Be conscious of touching your face and try to break bad habits.
Pimples is much more than a problem that impacts teenagers alone. For lots of people, it lasts well into their adult lives. By keeping informed and following the advice in this article you will be able to formulate an effective skin care regimen that will help you to successfully control your zits.

Your logo is pretty darn important – the most important visual association with your brand, one of the first things a potential client will see – it's a clear demonstration of how you intend to communicate with customers. Consider some of the better logos in recent history. Now, whilst we don't condone indulging in a McDonalds every day – they do have a simply fantastic logo. Two golden arches – that welcome, invite and seduce the customer whilst their colour scheme of red and gold invites feelings of happiness and childhood wonder, it's simple, effective and doesn't even mention a burger. Which brings us on to point 1.
You don't have to be explicit
Just because you are a burger joint, vet or hair salon doesn't mean your logo needs to feature a burger, animal or hair dryer. A logo should evoke an emotion; making a consumer feel, for example, hopeful, happy or humoured – it doesn't necessary need to explicitly say what you do. So don't be afraid to think outside the box.
Your logo will have to work across a number of mediums: Social Media, business cards, leaflets, banner stands – the list goes on and on. Try your newly designed logo in a number of different sizes as well as colours to make sure it's doing your business justice across every different marketing platform. As a quick tip one of the best ways of ensuring this is to start large and make smaller. Large high quality logo images can successfully be made smaller however you can't do it in reverse or you'll have a nasty pixelated mess.
Speak to your clients
Ultimately, your logo doesn't exist to please you, your friends or your family – rather it's created to entice and attract new customers. So make sure to speak to those people and be specific with your questions. Rather than asking them if they like the logo – show them variations of colour, size and formatting and ask them how it makes them feel. That way you can ascertain far more clearly if it'll work for your business.
Following the fads
Your logo should be an eternal symbol of beauty – analogues to the Sistine Chapel or the Mona Lisa, rather than those hideous sixties grey monstrosities that blight every University landscape. So forget the fads or trends, stick with classic ideas that will remain relevant for years to come.
Just as McDonalds logo of yellow and red is a clear indication of the fun and friendly vibe of the company, the colour of your logo should represent who you are. Try to avoid more than two or three colours as it may be a little overwhelming, also consider how this will be represented in print and online, certain colours like orange don't cross over well from screen to paper

A life spent hoarding rare soul and disco records, a keen ear for a sample and a few years of DJing already under his belt stood him in good stead when it came to making music. Inspired by labels like Azuli with their Chocolate Fudge and Disco Elements EPs he made a load of tracks by sticking house drums on top of disco samples and released somewhere in the region of twenty 12′ singles, many of which found their way into top DJs' charts. Despite encouraging signs with tracks being signed to high profile labels like Z Records, Defected Hed Kandi and even his beloved Azuli, the Disco House formula soon ran its course and Al looked for a fresh challenge. So he recorded an orchestra instead. 'Better Days' by the Million Dollar Orchestra was released as a double album by BBE in 2008, having taken the best part of two years to make. Not many producers would have the flair to go from cutting up samples to recording a 26 piece band, but Al did it with aplomb.
It was when he abandoned the style Million Dollar Disco had become known for that his DJ career really took off. Ditching house music in favour of disco saw him first emulating his hero Walter Gibbons; cutting between two copies of each record, until he discovered he could save the hassle (and money spent on doubles) and make re-edits instead. Soon his sets were made up entirely of his own exclusive reworks. He's released a ton of those edits over the years on Million Dollar Disco as well as a slew of labels like Jisco, Kat, Real Thing, Edit, Stilove4music, People Must Jam, Kalakuta Soul, Kojak Giant Sounds and All Out War. He's been round the world a few times too, playing in Australia, Canada, France, Poland, United Arab Emerates, Italy, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Croatia – pretty much every country in Europe, every city in the UK and many locations in between. Al has had the honour of playing Southport weekender four times (more than any other 'Connoisseur's Corner' guest) as well as headlining at prestigious events like Z Records' first (and, to this date, only) party in London and Ete D'Amour's boat party on the Seine, at the invitation of Dimitri From Paris. He was co-promoter and resident DJ at Manchester's legendary Northern Disco and regularly throws crowd pleasing parties in his home town of Glasgow.
His relationship with BBE gave him the opportunity to release the Disco Love volumes (three so far), a series of hard to find disco tracks, a self produced follow up to the Million Dollar Orchestra 'Secret Sounds' and the Best of Disco Demands.. a 5x CD/2x double vinyl set made up of more hard to find tracks, originally released in very limited quantities on Million Dollar Disco. At the time of writing Al's putting the finishing touches to an album that has again taken some time to produce, featuring an army of musicians and vocalists. It's no surprise it's taken so long though with his busy DJ schedule and remixes for Tommy Stewart, Stanton Davis, Sandy Barber, The Sunburst Band, Tom Noble, The Bank and Odyssey all completed in the last year.

Despite his reputation as a digger and his background in rare soul and disco, Al is no musical snob when it comes to DJing. He knows how to move a dance-floor with music that ranges from the most obscure disco to bona-fide classics. It's his edits that elevate him beyond the normal conception of a 'disco DJ' though. If you thought disco was music for the back room, think again.. Al's sound is big and bad, perfectly mixed in a way Ron Hardy would be proud of. His style has earned him serious praise from many of his peers like Sadar Bahar, Mike Huckaby, Theo Parrish, Rahaan, Red Rack'em, Joey Negro (who once famously called him Scotland's answer to Walter Gibbons), Dimitri From Paris and Horse Meat Disco.
The Ping Pong room is open all night for late night Wiff Waff and dancing!
Forthcoming guest DJs: Toby Tobias, Horse Meat Disco, Leo Zero, Oldboy (Joy Social), Bodidly (Micron) & Luke Unabomber…
Doors open at 4pm with DJs on from 9pm and its Free Entry all night

Berlin's wetlands board endorsement of a pipeline route through that town last week was one link in a long chain of decisions needed to allow construction of a $200 million power generation plant. This environmentally sensitive project requires careful scrutiny as it goes through its permitting process.
The 554-megawatt gas-powered plant, to be built in Meriden by Power Development Co. of Boston and El Paso Energy Corp. of Houston, would require as much as 3.5 million gallons of water a day to cool the generators. The developers elected to draw water from wells at the edge of the Connecticut River in Cromwell and pipe it across Berlin and finally into Meriden.

Fresh air, water, food and shelter are the basic requirements of life. But is the air fresh anymore? Each day alarming quantities of tobacco smoke is being puffed into the air, making it far away from clean and fresh. The airs we breathe in today are toxic and carcinogenic because 1.2 billion people included smoking into the list of basic requirements.
In a study it was found that some outdoor places contain more tobacco smoke than many indoor areas. Smoking is known to produce a very large number of disorders, diseases and death in smokers. Around half of the smokers will have some smoking related health risk in the future. Most thinks, "It's my life and my health, I will take care of it." But many studies suggest that the second hand smoke from the smokers is also extremely dangerous. So when you smoke in public, you are putting the lives of those around you, who hardly ever smoke, in risk. So what is the best way to avoid second hand smoke, Stop breathing in public???? The only way of reducing the dangers of second hand smoke is by restriction of public smoking.
Almost every country lays down the constitution giving the citizen lot of right and freedom. Don't they have the freedom to breathe fresh air? To give the freedom to breath healthy air, more and more countries are taking up smoking bans and restrictions. Anti smoking laws, bans the smoking in public places like parks, restaurants, hospitals and offices. Some laws restrict the use of cigarettes in closed environment only. These laws are indeed helping a lot of people from the unseen terror, tobacco smoke.
The first ever known smoking ban in history was implemented by Pope Urban VII in 1590. He banned any sort of smoking and tobacco usage in the church premises. And in 1990 California became the first state to issue smoking ban in public, they banned smoking particularly in restaurant. Now many countries have passed the law which restricts public smoking one way or the other. The smoking laws in different countries do differ. In Bhutan, even purchasing tobacco anywhere in the country is an offence. Ireland and Scotland, ban smoking only in enclosed public areas like malls, restaurants and hospitals.
In India, smoking is banned in public places including open areas, and on screen smoking by actors is also restricted. All these anti smoking laws and bans are passed in the interest of non smokers, who become the prey of someone else's deeds. Most of the time, smokers find some way or the other to get out the laws making it less effective, but, we can't ignore the fall in rate of public smoking after implementing these laws.
Some smoker's feels that the anti smoking law gets into their rights as a human being, but remember they are only stopped from murdering others with their second hand smoke and no one stops them from killing themselves. The pro smokers or promoters of believe that more death are caused by other factors when compared to smoking then why ban smoking. They create uproar each time some anti smoking laws are thought of. When law banning smoking in bar was passed most of them made a statement that, alcohol is anyway going to cause cancer then why protect them from tobacco smoke.
Some pro smoking advocates have gone as far as to create their smoker's right bill. Most smokers feel that their right as a human being is trodden upon and they are being discriminated. Always a non smokers right to breath fresh air comes above smokers' rights, an usually smokers are having right to smoke only in their personal environment, their home and car.
The banning of public smoking has decreased the number of cigarettes smoked as most of the places restrict smoking. Please stop public smoking, do it for your friends, family and do it for the world.

It consists of a Borg 101ED f/4.1 imaging scope using a QSI 683ws CCD. Focusing is done with a FeatherTouch focuser controlled with a MicroTouch motorized wireless focuser. Guiding is done with a Borg 45ED and a Lodestar guide camera. The mount is a Paramount MX on a Pier Tech II pier. Everything is housed in a Pier-Tech Telestation 5 Split roof automated observatory. To see the observatory in an Automated open/close routine click on this video link: http://youtu.be/4RkObiE18TM Astrophotography is a specialized type of photography that entails recording images of astronomical objects and large areas of the night sky. The first photographs of an astronomical object (the moon) were taken in the 1840s, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography. Besides being able to record the details of extended objects such as the Moon, Sun, and planets, astrophotography has the ability to image objects invisible to the human eye such as dim stars, nebulae, and galaxies. This is done by long time exposure since both film and digital cameras can accumulate and sum light photons over these long periods of time. In professional astronomical research photography revolutionized the field, with long time exposures recording hundreds of thousands of new stars and nebulae that were invisible to the human eye, leading to specialized and ever larger optical telescopes that were essentially big "cameras" designed to collect light to be recorded on film. Direct astrophotography had an early role in sky surveys and star classification but over time it has given way to more sophisticated equipment and techniques designed for specific fields of scientific research, with film (and later astronomical CCD cameras) becoming just one of many forms of sensor.[1]Astrophotography is a large sub-discipline in amateur astronomy where it is usually used in to record aesthetically pleasing images, rather than for scientific research,[2] with a whole range of equipment and techniques dedicated to the activity. With only a few exceptions, almost all astronomical photography employs long exposures since both film and digital imaging devices can accumulate and sum light photons over long periods of time. The amount of light hitting the film or detector is also increased by increasing the diameter of the primary optics (the objective) being used. Urban areas produce light pollution so equipment and observatories doing astronomical imaging have to be located in remote locations to allow long exposures without the film or detectors being swamped with stray light. Since the Earth is constantly rotating, telescopes and equipment have to be rotated in the opposite direction to follow the apparent motion of the stars overhead (called diurnal motion). This is accomplished by using either equatorial or computer controlled altazimuth telescope mounts to keep celestial objects centered while the earth rotates. All telescope mount systems suffer from induced tracking error due to imperfect motor drives and mechanical sag of the telescope. Tracking errors are corrected by keeping a selected aiming point, usually a bright guide star, centered during the entire exposure. This guiding is done through a second co-mounted telescope called a "guide scope" or via some type of "off-axis guider", a device with a prism or optical beam splitter that allows the observer to view the same image in the telescope that is taking the picture. Guiding used to be done manually throughout the exposure with an observer standing at (or riding inside) the telescope making corrections to keep a cross hair on the guide star. Since the advent of computer controlled systems this is accomplished by an automated systems in professional and even amateur equipment. Astronomical photography is one of the earliest types of scientific photography[3] and almost from its inception it diversified into subdisciplines that each have a specific goal including star cartography, astrometry, stellar classification, photometry, spectroscopy, polarimetry, and the discovery of astronomical objects such as asteroids, meteors, comets, variable stars, novae, and even unknown planets. These all require specialized equipment such as telescopes designed for precise imaging, for wide field of view (such as Schmidt cameras), or for work at specific wavelengths of light. Astronomical CCD cameras may use cryogenic cooling to reduce thermal noise or allow the detector to record images in other spectra such as in infrared astronomy. Specialized filters are also used to record images in specific wavelengths. © 2018 Barry Schellenberg • All Rights Reserved Search | Guestbook | Equipment | Contact | Observatory Sky Conditions | Halton Region Weather | Observatory Cameras | CAAP | Dalton Wilson's Website | Dan Meek's Website | MaxPilote Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

A "SNOWY" day
You can take a guess where I birded today by the picture below.
Yes sir, I joined my bird club at NJ's Liberty State Park for a chilly morning of birding. The highlight of the day by far was basically the first bird of the trip. While we were all milling about and chatting prior to the start of the trip, someone shouted "There's a Snowy Owl over here." Sure enough, there was a Snowy Owl over there. Well, it was pretty darn far, but that's what it was. Very awesome! I'd like to say that it's a bit of good fortune for me having not gone to Guatemala. I got a very distant picture of it with its head turned around.
This is the only sighting of one in NJ this winter to my knowledge and I don't recall any reports of birds further south. This is also the first I've seen in NJ since 2004. The rest of the day was nice, but uneventful. I hadn't birded Liberty State Park since I was a new birder so it was nice to learn some of the ins and outs from the local expert who guided us. I also got this sweet picture of a Mourning Dove. Beth says it looks like it has 6-pack abs. A few more pics below too...

Borderstan Weekend September 26/27
Here are my picks for things to do during the weekend in Borderstan, really close by or in the city… restaurants, galleries and theater.
U-topia at 1418 U Street NW is a great spot on the U street corridor. Jazz and art come together to help you celebrate an excellent meal… Brazilian jazz on Thursdays, 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
La Carbonara at 1926 9th Street NW is in Shaw's Little Ethiopia. This recently opened Italian restaurant has received mix reviews, from excellent to bland, perhaps depending on the day of the week. If you are feeling adventuresome, give it a try and let us know.
Local 16, at 1602 U Street NW is a nice place to go during the week. The weekend is totally different and it can get crowded and uncomfortable. The menu is American food with an Italian influence. Local 16 has a beautiful roof top deck.
"Ink Storm" at Transformer Gallery, 1404 P Street NW: "This exhibition highlights how artists CHEN Shaoxiong, DAI Guangyu, and Paula TSAI, three emerging Beijing based artists who re-interpret and re-invent traditional Chinese uses of ink through video, drawing, and mixed-media installation, incorporate ink into their work, ink, and how each individual exploration offers compelling contributions to contemporary art discourse."
"Mirage Series" by Steve Alderton at Touchstone Gallery, 406 7th Street NW: "The series includes portraits, cityscapes, still-lifes, and landscapes. One landscape includes what appears to be two farm structures viewed from across a field; the hot, shimmering light of a summer's day has had its effects. Another painting shows a cityscape, with a mass of loosely rendered buildings. In both works, the atmosphere has seemingly blurred many of the specifics—but there is enough information in the watery images to transfix and invite one in. The artist's technique successfully conveys the essence of his message, but also effectively leaves room for personal interpretation. The result is strong and engaging." Continue reading
SATURDAY: Farmer's Market, Clark Ray Council Kickoff
Just a reminder about a couple of things happening in Borderstan tomorrow.
Farmers' Market, 14th & U NW. Remember that the 14th and U Farmers' Market continues into October. You can get info about the market on Facebook and since they have a public page on Facebook, you don't have to be a registered member of Facebook to go to it. (Got that?) On the northwest corner of 14th and U Streets NW.
Clark Ray for Council Kickoff, 17th & Q NW. At 10 a.m. Clark Ray will officially announce his candidacy for the DC City Council at the corner of 17th and Q Streets NW next to Java House. Ray is kicking off his candidacy in Ward 2 where served as neighborhood service coordinator for former Mayor Anthony Williams. Ray is running for the At-Large seat held by Phil Mendelson; they will be on the ballot in the Democratic Primary in September 2010. (Full disclosure: I know Ray and am supporting him.)
12th & U NW: "Mama said there'll be days like this…"
Somehow I don't think the condo sales offices on U Street will be using this photo in their marketing materials. But, as The Shirelles 1961 song goes… "Mama said there'll be days like this." (My genuine condolences to the owner of the car.)
Happy Monday, Borderstan
Hope you enjoyed the weekend… yesterday was spectacular… Labor Day is just two weeks away.
Perhaps JJ's will be open for cheesesteaks by the time it's sweater weather. Luis took this photo yesterday of the location-to-be at 1939 14th Street NW, (just off U Street). There appears to be a bit of work left on the shop.
Not surprisingly, Wikipedia has an entry for cheesesteaks.
Wednesdays are "Notoriety" at Chi Cha Lounge, With Movie
Chi Cha Lounge is billing its Wednesday evenings with a movie as Notoriety. Says this urban hipster place on U between 16th and 17th: "Notoriety at Chi Cha Lounge is a weekly Wednesday event for friends to come together, listen to soulful music, and soak up some good vibes." Located at 1624 U Street NW, the lounge has wide-open windows that allow you to see the street and get the urban feeling of the U Street corridor. Tonight the movie is Point Break.
Saturday: U Street Festival, 10 AM-3 PM
The U Street Neighborhood Association will host a community festival this Saturday, August 1, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Reeves Municipal Center, 14th and U Streets NW. The event is in conjunction with the 10th Annual MidCity Dog Days of August Sidewalk Sale weekend and the weekly Farmers Market (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturdays only).
14th St NW: What Do You Want More Of?
What kind of stores and businesses do you want more of on the 14th Street NW corridor… between Thomas Circle and Florida Avenue NW? You can pick as many as you want.
Dog Days Are Coming, August 1-2
Put 'em down on your calendar… always good fun in Borderstan. The 10th annual MidCity Dog Days Sidewalk sale is next weekend, August 1 & 2.
From the MidCity Business Association:
August 1st and 2nd mark the tenth annual Dog Days of August sidewalk sale along and adjacent to the 14th and U Street corridors. MidCity shops, galleries and restaurants will take their wares to the sidewalk, feature performers and special events and welcome shoppers to one of DC's most unique and dynamic retail zones.

El-Erian: Fed can't do much more to boost economy
Despite all the anticipation over yesterday's Federal Reserve meeting, there was little else the central bank could do now to help the economy recover, Pimco's co-CEO Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC.
Speaking just hours before the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), El-Erian said the central bank can only do so much to foster growth and avoid deflation. The Fed has spent the past three years on a route of aggressive rate cuts and purchases of trillions in various securities but is running out of measures it can take.
"Fed policy is not enough. You need to do more than that to get off that road," he said.
Asked what needs to be done, he said, "First, selling a vision, a long-term vision as to what the policy response is to restore growth and employment. And second, to fill it out with proper structural policies."
"The country is facing structural issues and it needs structural solutions," he added. "Just focusing on the Fed is like sending in a wide receiver to play quarterback. Yes, the wide receiver is a good athlete. But he's not a quarterback and we need to focus on structural issues."

Maze Craft : Pixel Heroes 1.9
A mobile mine craft arcade game spoof that lets you get lost
Maze Craft : Mine Heroes is an Android OS game for your smart phone or tablet produced by Appnori that utilizes the now iconic Minecraft art style to create an infinite number of mazes with which to explore. Game play is simple in concept but not quite so simple to execute and excel at. Start at the top of a pyramid, overlooking a vast labyrinth to plan your path, then plunge into the depths of the maze and try to remember the way out.
The trick isn't in controlling or lightening reflexes, it's a game of memory and direction. Get your virtual character turned around and you could find yourself lost! As you wander through the maze you do have the ability to find and collect gems. Use these gems to unlock new characters to take with you while you explore your mazes.
The characters currently available include spoofed personas from popular culture and other games like: Iron Hero, Lala Craft, Luffy Onepiece, Babarian Clan, Bat Hero and Captain Hero plus many more!
There are 30 to unlock and collect in all and you'll have a chuckled when you realize who each character is a parody of. It's an interesting experience guiding the not so legendary Lala Craft through a maze. Different characters don't offer any unique abilities or traits, the appeal is that you can pick your favorite one.
For fans of Minecraft and other Pixel based games Maze Craft : Mine Heroes has some instant appeal. The tongue in cheek humor of the unlock-able characters and the replay value of procedural generated, random maze levels give this game some staying power. Playing Maze Craft : Mine Heroes on your Android OS Smart phone or tablet is the best way you can have fun by being lost in a maze.

A Tour of Knee Anatomy
A Tour of Knee Anatomy
Learn all about this incredible joint and its complex and powerful anatomy
Bob Sallis, M.D., FASM Former President, American College of Sports Medicine
- Understanding basic anatomy is key to preventing injury and staying healthy
- Many other body parts come together at the knee joint to help it bear weight, extend your leg, and propel your body forward
- The knee's anatomy has extensive protective measures built into it as we move through our range of motion. The knee's components are designed to support, stabilize, and cushion.
- The knee is one of the most complex joints in the human body
- The knee is the largest joint in the human body
As athletes, there isn't much we do that doesn't involve using our knees in some way. They let us twist, turn, run, walk, start, stop, pedal, and sprint. The bending actions might seem simple, but the knee is an incredibly complex joint with equally complex anatomy.
The scientific name for the knee is the tibiofemoral joint. As one of the largest in the human body, the knee is known as a hinge joint. Hinge joints differ from other joints, such as ball and socket joints and saddle joints, in that movement occurs along one plane through flexion and extension. A hinge joint works in the same way as the hinge on a door. The elbow and ankle are also hinge joints.
Three main bones come together at the knee joint: the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). The movement and action occurs between these three bones. The femur, or thigh bone, sits against the flat upper surface of the tibia and slides back and forth as your knee bends and straightens. This sounds worse than it actually is, since the bones are covered by articular cartilage that protects the surface of the bones, decreases friction, and helps to absorb shock. The patella sits at the front of your knee and articulates with the femur to protect the joint. Together with the surrounding muscles, it helps your knee straighten. The patella works sort of like a lever as the muscles contract when your knee straightens. It sits within the tendon where the quadriceps connect to the knee and is known as a sesamoid bone, or little bone.
The muscles that help support the knee come from the upper and lower legs and are responsible for initiating all of the movement within our knees. Each muscle helps the knee perform a different function. When these muscles are strong and stable, activity is less likely to damage any of the other ligaments or cartilage in your knee. Hamstrings The three hamstring muscles, the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus, and the semitendinosus, work together to help the knee flex. Your knee doesn't only bend and straighten, however. Sometimes it might not feel like it, but the knee also rotates medially (toward the center of the body) and laterally (away from the center of the body) with the help of the hamstring muscles. Two of the hamstring muscles, the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus, help medially rotate the knee. The biceps femoris muscle, the third of the hamstring muscles, helps the knee rotate laterally. Quadriceps The four quadriceps muscles enable you to strengthen your leg. The quads are actually one of the strongest muscles in the human body and function to extend the knee out in front of you.
Tendons, or tough fibrous bands of tissues that connect muscle to bone, also provide stability to the knee joint. There are two major tendons in the knee joint: the quadriceps tendon and the patellar tendon. Quadriceps Tendon The quadriceps tendon connects the quad muscles to the patella on the front of the knee. The patellar tendon is actually an extension of the quadriceps tendon that connects the patella to the shin bone. Iliotibial Band The other tendon that we hear a lot about is the iliotibial, or IT, band. The IT band is a band of tough fibers that runs from the outside of the hip, down the outside of the thigh, and connects to the tibia just below the knee. The band works together with the leg muscles to provide stability to the leg and to the knee. The IT band can often be irritated in runners as it moves back and forth across the outside of the knee.
The main job of the ligaments is to provide stability. Ligaments connect bones to each other and make sure our bones don't slip out of place or that our knee doesn't rotate too far in one direction or the other. There are four knee ligaments in total: two major ligaments and two collateral ligaments. ACL and PCL The two major ligaments are the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The ACL and PCL ligaments form a cross in the middle of the knee joint as they connect the femur and the anterior and posterior sides of the tibia to the femur. The ACL is commonly injured when there are excessive twisting motions. Both ligaments help to stabilize your knee and prevent your shin bone from moving too far forward or backward. MCL and LCL The two collateral ligaments in the knee, the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), stabilize the sides of your knees. The MCL connects the interior surface of the femur to the tibia and prevents movement inwards. It is therefore susceptible to injury when the outside of the knee takes excessive force. On the other hand, the LCL connects the outer surface of the femur to the fibula and protects the knee from moving too far outward. When you consider common sports injuries, the ACL, through twisting motions, and the MCL, by sudden blows to the outside of the knee, are the most likely to be injured.
Other than the articular cartilage mentioned earlier, the most important cartilage in your knee is the meniscus. Cartilage, whose main purpose is to protect against bones rubbing against each other and provide cushioning, protects bones as they move through their range of motion. The knee has two crescent-shaped pieces of cartilage that lie on top of the tibia. The menisci ease friction and help distribute weight evenly across the joint. There is an inner (medial) and an outer (lateral) meniscus. The medial meniscus is less mobile than the lateral meniscus and more susceptible to injury. The cartilage connects to ligaments so it's important to realize that an injury to one often means an injury to the other.
We don't often hear much about these fluid-filled protective sacs. Each of our knees has 11 bursae. Bursae are small pad-like sacs located within the joint cavity that reduce friction and provide cushioning for your bones, muscles, and ligaments. Bursae are not as tough as tendons but with all of the actions and motions our knees go through it is important to have the added component of cushioning wherever possible.
With all that our knees let us do, the least we can do is know a little bit about how and why they work. It's the first step in preventing injury and keeping our bodies strong and up for all the activities we ask of them. Anatomy can be daunting and not all of us are naturally inclined to grasping the mechanics of biology. Think of understanding anatomy as another form of training designed to keep you in top condition.
