Here is an interview with the editors of Advances in Austrian Economics.
Category Archives: cognitive modeling
Rethinking A.I.
Essentially, we want to rewind to 30 years ago and revisit some ideas that had gotten frozen," he says, adding that the new group hopes to correct "fundamental mistakes" made in AI research over the years.
Small is beautiful
Over at Vitorino Ramos' ever thoughtful blog is a post extolling the virtues of the "small". The point is twofold:
First, the superb detail afforded by the photographs that Vitorino has assembled shows a rather complexly "designed" creature – a design that belies the supposedly simple life-form that ants are typically taken to be. The engineering challenges required to even roughly approximate such creatures is formidable.
Second, the study of ant sociality is of central interest to researchers in A.I. – the concept of stigmergy offers those of us with an interest in complex systems (human sociality being the paradigm) – a very fertile vein of inquiry.
So, next time you are about to snuff out this creature, at the very least, stop and spare a thought for this creature – we have much to learn from the small and the "simple." To adapt Shakespeare:
As ants (flies) to wanton boys are we to th' gods,
They kill us for their sport.
Brain Science Podcast
I want to give a plug to the excellent resource that is the Brain Science Podcast website so passionately managed by Ginger Campbell. There is even an iPhone app now available though I haven't used it yet.

Alan Turing
The BBC has been running a series of articles on Turing.
For those of us who often discuss the conceptual aspects of liberty through the great works of social and political philosophy, we should stop and think about how our liberty was, to a great extent, preserved by Alan Turing.
According to Winston Churchill, Turing made the single biggest contribution to Allied victory in the war against Nazi Germany.
His pivotal role in cracking intercepted messages helped the Allies to defeat the Nazis in several crucial battles.
A Profile and the Turing us philosophers/cognitive scientists know through his "Computing machinery and intelligence", Mind 50: 433-460.
I PROPOSE to consider the question, 'Can machines think? 'This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms' machine' and' think'. The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous. If the meaning of the words 'machine' and 'think ' are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, 'Can machines think?' is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll. But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.

The Metaphysics of Mind
This past weekend I attended the Timothy Sprigge Memorial Conference (see link to obituary by Jane O'Grady who was in attendence). I met Sprigge in 1997 at the Bradley conference at Harris-Manchester College Oxford, a time when I was very interested in the idealists. Funny how philosophical changes come and go – Sprigge, ever the outsider, is now of interest to current philosophy of mind. Anyway, this conference brought together a very diverse group of theorists in the most congenial of environments and I was able to meet a few of my intellectual heroes.

Spam in your inbox!
Looking at the state of my inbox right now, this is no surprise. According to a new report from Symantec, "92-percent of all e-mails sent across the Web today consist of spam, up from 89-percent one year ago." Did you read that? Up 89 percent?
I also found it interesting how the spam messages have changed over the last year:
A year ago, most spam subject lines were related to Barack Obama or Michael Jackson; In June of '10, the World Cup dominated, with BP-related subjects repeatedly popping up during July.
On the bright side, phishing attacks have gone down by 5 percent this year. So there's that. [Source: Engadget.com]

It was the second most important moment of Melanie's and Doug Hill's week.
The first was finding their dog, Xhaiden, on Monday afternoon outside a River Road home in Point Borough.
The second was meeting and thanking the woman who made it happen.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Hills met JoEllen Brady Osborn, who had called police on Monday afternoon to report that she had seen a dog that looked like Xhaiden,
Osborn and her husband, Forman Osborn, visited the Hills, Xhaiden and his father, Tanner, at their home in Point Borough.
It was the first time the two couples were meeting face to face and it was sweet. There were a lot of hugs and a lot of thank yous.
"I just can't thank you enough," Melanie Hill kept saying. "Anytime you need anything at all, come here. We're here."
Melanie Hill and JoEllen Osborn first spoke on Tuesday afternoon when Patch visited Osborn at her home, called Melanie Hill and handed the telephone to Osborn so she could talk to Hill.
As Hill talked about how much it meant to her and her husband, Doug, that she had given them the tip they had prayed for, tears streamed down Osborn's cheeks.
Osborn, who taught for many years at and then , grabbed a tissue, dabbed at her eyes and smiled through the tears as Hill said, "I am so grateful, you have no idea."
"Well, that's not necessary," Osborn said into the cell phone. "You've made me so happy, just knowing you got your doggy back."
The Osborns are also animal lovers, having had numerous dogs and cats over the years, including a number who have lived to be 18 years old. In April, they had to make the tough decision to put down a dog and a cat who had succumbed to illness.
"I know what it feels like to lose an animal, but I've never had one run away," she said. "I would be out of my mind. I just can't even imagine what they were going through."
The beginning of the end of Xhaiden's long, lost weekend came when Osborn saw a dog on the other side of her fence off Maxson Avenue. Her driveway fronts on Maxson, while her home fronts on the Manasquan River, next to the Maxson Avenue Beach and across from
About an hour after seeing the dog, Osborn and her husband were grocery shopping at Stop & Shop on Bridge Avenue. As she walked out into the vestibule, she happened to spot a "Lost Dog" poster hanging on the bulletin board to her left.
"It looked like the dog I had seen," she said. "I thought to myself, I saw that dog at home and an hour later I saw a dog that looked like it on a poster. It's too coincidental. It was a sign. I felt like it was happening for a reason and I needed to do something."
Osborn called when she got home and talked to Dispatcher Steve Grady, who said he knew about the missing dog and would send officers out to her neighborhood to look for the dog.
"And I could tell by his voice that he really was going to send them," she said.
And for good measure, Osborn called Stop & Shop and asked them to read her the dog owner's phone number on the poster and she called that number too.
By the time she called Melanie Hill's cell, she was with police who had been dispatched as a result of Osborn's call to police.
"I didn't realize at the time I was talking to the person who had seen the dog and called the police," Melanie Hill said. "Things were so chaotic that day. I don't even know if I talked to her before or after the dog was found. So many people were calling me."
Melanie Hill said when police told her the dog had been spotted just off Maxson Avenue and River Road, she drove over there with Tanner, Xhaiden's father. She drove up and down various streets, sometimes getting out of her car to search on foot.
At one point, she drove down River Road and stopped at a large home with a long driveway.
"I just had a feeling I should look there," she said. So she ran down, despite the "No Trespassing" sign and not knowing whether anyone was home.
When she didn't see Xhaiden, she started heading back up the driveway, but a shadow caught her eye and she looked more closely.
She spotted a dog, that had risen on its hind legs, in an aggressive stance, "like a bear up on its back legs," Hill said.
"And I heard a growl come out of him, like I have never heard before," she said. "And I thought, that is not my Xhaiden. Xhaiden is the sweetest dog, he's a mush. I just didn't think he could be like that. So I didn't think it was him. And my heart just sank."
But Hill said she had to be sure whether the dog in the shadows was hers before she left that driveway.
"I got down on my knees, so I would look less threatening, and I called out his name a few times, like I usually would," she said. "And then he whimpered, came down and ran towards me. He jumped up on me and was licking me and I was crying.
"It was a moment like I have never had before," she said. "I was so happy. It was surreal."
She immediately called her husband.
"I was screaming into the phone, 'I got him, I got him,' " she said.
"My husband was so happy," Hill said. "He worked harder than anyone trying to find the dog. He got no sleep from Friday night til Monday night. He was walking up and down every street looking for Xhaiden every day."
Hill said she sat with Xhaiden in that driveway for a good 20 minutes, just to make sure he would be stable for the ride home. When she walked out of the driveway onto River Road, people in cars and on foot realized she had found her beloved pooch.
"People were crying, honking and yelling, 'It's Xhaiden, it's Xhaiden,' " Hill said. "A lot of them had been out looking for him. I have never seen a community have the amount of compassion, to take time out of their busy schedules to do that.
"There were people from Toms River driving up here all weekend to look for him. People from all over Point and so many towns were out looking, calling me, emailing me, leaving me messages on Facebook.
"I used to have 80 to 90 Facebook friends, now I have double that," she said, adding she is so grateful to everyone who called, spread the word and looked for Xhaiden. There were also volunteers from Howell, Brick, Bradley Beach, as well as Point Borough and Point Beach helping with the search.
"It's just been an unbelievable, life-altering experience," she said.
When Melanie Hill finally got Xhaiden and Tanner home, Doug Hill cracked open a bottle of bubbly.
"Tbe four of us just sat on the floor together, enjoying the moment," she said.
Since then, Xhaiden got a clean bill of health from the veterinarian Tuesday morning and had a microchip installed.
"And we're getting a new fence," Hill said. The Hills have not figured out how Xhaiden escaped their fenced-in backyard, so they're replacing the fence.
She said she did not have collars on the dogs when they went into the backyard on Friday night because she doesn't keep them on the dogs when she and her husband are not home.
"They play rough and have come close to getting caught up in the collars," she said.
So they didn't have collars on when she let them into the backyard, just after her and her husband got home from work, for what was supposed to be a quick bathroom break.
Now they'll be taking every precaution to make Xhaiden has no more lost weekends.

Android's transitions are about to get awesome. Why? Bitspin.
Google acquired Bitspin to really ramp up the progress they've been making on transitions for Android in the last 6 to 12 months. And there's no one better to do it.
I'm not a huge fan of Timely's backgrounds; I feel it's been a bit over-designed (I'm a proponent of flat design, like the stock clock app). But the transitions are fantastic. Everything is animated; nothing just disappears. Imagine if stock Android was like that. Like Windows Phone, or iOS.
While I don't think Timely will replace the AOSP clock outright (Google don't really do that kind of thing), it could inherit some of Timely's features, like the time picker on the side, and the Smart Rise feature. Hopefully Timely will stay on the Play Store too; no reason Google would kill it, since it requires very little maintenance. If we're lucky, the Timely devs will be able to continue working on it in their spare time, even if that's just bug-fixing and updating for new Android releases. I'm hoping it gets a transparent nav and notification bar KitKat update.
Looks like it's happening, folks. The next step in Android's UI/UX overhaul.

Roc's Road to Milwaukee
26 Apr, 2012
by Ed Makowski
There tend to be patterns of why people live where they live. Often times they got a job nearby, or that's where they went to school, or possibly their spouse's family is from the area.
Roc is a concierge at the Pfister and his path to Milwaukee definitely did not follow any of these typical routes. Roc and his Quaker lineage hail from Northwest Indiana. In his home state Roc had been a teacher of Latin, German, and English before becoming involved in starting non-profit organization. The organization provided the beginnings of what we now know as head-start programs, urban transit and information offices, and elderly health care programs. This would have been a fulfilling enough life for most, but Roc was then made aware that a member of his family was in need of serious help. Already in his 50′s Roc up and moved to Milwaukee to try his hand at parenting for the first time.
If you've ever met Roc behind the concierge desk you know that the man is a terrific storyteller. Below I'll let you hear his story as he tells it. Click Play or Download below to hear Roc's experience of arriving in Milwaukee and his sentiments on how invigorating later-life parenting can be.

Reading Ladies 4′s 2 – 1 Sonning VetsBy Reading Hockey Club • Apr 2nd, 2014 • Category: L4, Match Reports
Saturday 29th March
The sun was shinning, the crowds were gathering, and we had a full team with subs to spare. A battling team performance saw us running off (well OK running might be a bit of an exaggeration) as winners (goals S and Clare) and moved us off the bottom of the league table just at the right time of the season. Man of the match was Ant, but there were many memorable moments. Amongst them were: a late entry from Rachel in the SPLASH competition – she managed to fall over her own feet and roll in such a way that she nearly caused herself an injury; the glorious sound of thud against backboard from a short corner strike by Tracy – only for the eagle eyed umpire to rule that it was too high and so disallow it; and one of the best goals of the season from one of our players, with a master class display in how to divert the ball around the goal keeper – just a shame it was our goal keeper!

"I looked through several designs to find one flexible enough to include 5 photos yet not look crowded. This worked beautifully! Very easy to move and scale images. I was a bit concerned that my cropping might not look exactly as I wanted in the finished product, but it was perfect!! I asked for a free designer review. She called and suggested a small change that made a big difference - I was very grateful. Photos have a slightly grainy quality, but overall an excellent product I am happy to send out to everyone."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"Loved this layout for our annual card to celebrate the new year. Just the right number of pics to show the highlights of the last 12 months and the glitter to make it fancy. We chose to do all our photos in a sepia tone to go with the gold."
"This card is perfect if you have a super cute or sweet photo of babies, children, or pets. I used a closeup shot of my client's adorable bulldog puppy! The card was a big hit! I chose a semi gloss finish to give it an extra pop. I paid extra to print a return address on the envelopes to save time. My only suggestion when ordering would be to check the box for designer review. That takes a couple days to get it back so you can look at it before it is printed. I was in a hurry and opted to go straight to print but I was a little disappointed when the cards arrived. The photo was a little too dark. I am a photograher and had a quality image with good lighting but when it was printed it cane out darker than I expected. I've never had that problem before. I always choose tiny prints because the quality of paper and designs are simply the best!"
"The colors on this card are vibrant and the quality of the card stock is smooth with a nice matte finish. It was a great way to bring in the New Years, since I was late with the Christmas cards. I received a ton of compliments of how the card came out beautiful.. Even though there isn't any glitter on the actual card, the quality of the print makes it look like it does have glitter. I would re order again. The great part is the back of the card, I added more pictures and the chevron style gave it a nice touch."

Client Reviews/Comments
I have not personally worked with Thea (although I am hoping to check out one of her Bootcamp classes when I'm in the Bismarck area), however I have come to know her through a childhood friend of mine who has had amazing results working with her. I have bounced ideas off of Thea and seen some of the workout plans she has created and they are incredibly well balanced and easily adaptable to a variety of fitness levels. I would highly recommend Thea as a trainer if you're looking to make a lifestyle change. She has a fresh perspective and a lot of creative ideas to make fitness workable for all people. :)
Thea is an awesome trainer! Thea is very creative with her workouts and offers a lot of variety to our sessions. She is very considerate of our age and always checks with us before workouts, to make sure nothing is hurting. Have been with Thea since January 4, 2012, and she has not miss one training session. Recommend Thea Very Highly.
I truly enjoy Thea as a trainer. Our workouts are always challenging, but Thea is very considerate of limitations we have and easily adapts to our needs. Every workout is different so it doesn't get boring. I leave every session feeling like I have had a great workout!
I enjoy workouts with Thea. She keeps me interested (nothing boring) and active (constantly on the move).
Thea is an excellent trainer, highly recommended!

Preparing now for those cooler months - The Province, Sunday June 19th
June 27, 2011
Last week I covered how to properly finish your basement, now we move on to insulating your home.
Upgrading your homes insulation is one of the easiest ways to reduce your energy bill while keeping your family warm this winter. Insulation and ventilation work together to make your home comfortable.
Many homes have insufficient insulation, another source of heat loss. The average home should have between R-40 (12 inches) to R-50 (15 inches) of insulation in the attic. Insulation is measured in "R-Value" which is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
There are significant rebates available through the
LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program
when upgrading your homes insulation. Please keep in mind, you need to use the proper insulation product for the proper application to ensure you do not cause any negative unintended side effects when upgrading your insulation.
Various Types of Insulation
Fibreglass and Cellulose:
These are the most commonly used for insulation in todays homes. Fibreglass insulation is spun from molten sand and recycled glass into fibre. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspapers, which is treated with a chemical flame retardant. Both fibreglass and cellulose insulation can be made into "loose-fill" insulation, which can be blown into areas such as attics and walls using a blowing machine. Fibreglass insulation also comes in "batts" which are pre-cut pieces of insulation that vary in width and length. These products are great for use on all unfinished walls, floors and ceilings.
Mineral Wool (
Typically has better fire resistance and soundproofing qualities than fibreglass. Roxuls mineral wool insulation has two product variations: Flexibatt thermal insulation for exterior walls and Safe and Sound Noise and Fire Protection for interior walls. Mineral wool insulation is made from a combination of natural basalt (or volcanic) rock and recycled slag. This product is ideal for areas susceptible to moisture.
Rigid Board Insulation:
Commonly made from fibreglass or polystyrene, this product is available in a variety of thicknesses. This type of insulation is used for flat roofs, unvented low slope or flat roofs, basement walls and as perimeter insulation at concrete slab edges of your homes foundation.
Spray Foam Insulation:
Applied by a professional applicator using special application equipment. Once sprayed into wall, ceiling, and floor cavities it expands to fill every crack and crevice. Acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope. This product is most commonly used in unfinished attics and other hard to reach places.
Reflective foil insulations (
Foil faced insulation. It acts as a radiant barrier, which are sometimes used in buildings to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.
Attic insulation: Ventilation is necessary in unused attics where insulation has been added to prevent heat from leaking out of the rooms underneath the attic in the Winter. Ventilation plays the role in controlling attic moisture during the Winter, and hot air during the Summer. Care should be taken to seal around all the openings in the attic floor, such as ceiling light fixtures, plumbing stacks, exhaust fans and chimney chases. Otherwise, warm moist air can escape into the attic, where it can condense and cause moisture damage. Before leaving the attic, remember to weather-strip the hatch and latch it snugly.
Stay Tuned, there will be more to follow next week.
More to come next week. This article was published in

K. Sparks - Music
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Presto
Album: Manic Mondays (#21)
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 41 total votes )
Throughout his Manic Mondays series, K. Sparks has shown a willingness to tackle lyrical concepts that would make lesser emcees weep. He's rapped his way through the Dictionary, spit about Hip Hop as a whole, and even pondered the question of life's Purpose. Installment number 21, however, may be the Queens native's most ambitious offering yet – how many other emcees would release a record simply titled Music? True to form, Sparks doesn't worry too much about making a universal statement, instead addressing the subject in the circuitous, reference-heavy manner that made him a Booth favorite to begin with. Another of the emcee's strengths is on full display here: namely, his ability to select jazzy beats that incorporate the best of the old and new school – Presto's combination of burbling bass and mellow horn hits all the right notes. Music is another link in Sparks' yet-unbroken chain of dope records – with a hot streak of 21 songs and counting, it's no wonder the emcee considers himself a Rap Savior.

Press Release:
San Clemente, CA (November 3, 2011) – Last week at the Global Wave Conference in San Sebastian, Spain, the Surfrider Foundation and Surf-First released the inaugural U.S. Surf Economics Report, which provides demographic and economic characterizations of surfers at the national, regional, state and surf break levels.
The report is designed assist coastal activists in demonstrating the importance of surfers to coastal economies.
Below is a summary of the report's top findings:
#1: Surfers are not unemployed kids
The surfers in the sample of over 5,360 respondents are in their early 30's, highly educated (62% have a college degree), highly employed and well paid (median household income is $75,000).
#2: Surfers surf a lot
Surfers are avid coastal users; over half of the surfers surveyed make more than 100 visits to the coast per year.
#3: Surfers stimulate local economies
Surfers spend on average $40 per visit to the coast, contributing between 2 and 5 billion dollars to local economies annually.
Surfers have historically been considered a fringe group and often marginalized or ignored compared with other sectors of coastal tourism and recreation. Surfing has now evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry but we know little about this segment of coastal users.
Efforts seeking to describe current economics and demographics of surfers in the United States have been limited by lack of data. The Surfrider Foundation, with support from Surfing Magazine, created the Surf-First Surfer Survey to collect a national dataset on the recreational, demographic and economic characteristics of surfers.
By collecting these data for surfers in the U.S., we have developed national, regional, and area-specific profiles of surfers and describe their economic impacts. This information provides the first national characterization of surfers and assesses the economic contribution of surfer visits to specific locations.
These results can inform coastal management decision-making and show that surfers are an important segment of the coastal tourism sector.
Data for the Surfrider Foundation/Surf-First Surf Economics Report was conducted as an opt-in Internet-based user survey from November 2008 to September 2009, and was advertised through a number of surf forecasting websites. To read the full report, visit: http://bit.ly/us_surfecon.
The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world's oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network. Founded in 1984 by a handful of visionary surfers in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation now maintains over 250,000 supporters, activists and members worldwide. For more information on the Surfrider Foundation, visit www.surfrider.org.

Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD).
The intended purpose of Project Glass products would be the hands free displaying of information currently available to most smartphone users, and allowing for interaction with the Internet via natural language voice commands, in a manner similar to the iPhone application Siri. The operating system software used in the glasses will be Google's Android.
Project Glass is part of the Google X Lab at the company, which has worked on other futuristic technologies, such as a self-driving car. The project was announced on Google+ by Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a project manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as working on the self-driving car project.
Though head-worn displays for augmented reality are not a new idea, the project has drawn media attention primarily due to its backing by Google, as well as the prototype, which is smaller and slimmer than previous designs for head-mounted displays. The first Project Glass demo resembles a pair of normal eyeglasses where the lens is replaced by a heads-up display. In the future, new designs may allow integration of the display into people's normal eyewear.

Dardania (Europe)
Dardania (/dɑrˈdeɪniə/; Ancient Greek: Δαρδανία; Latin: Dardania) is a region in the Balkans. It was at one time the land of the Dardani.
The region was inhabited by Illyrians, Celts[1][2] and Thracians.[2][3] After Roman conquest of Illyria at 168 BC, Romans colonized and founded several cities in the region.[4]
Roman Dardania[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (February 2010)
During the administrative reforms of Diocletian (244 - 311) and Constantine I (272 – 337), the Diocese of Moesia was created, encompassing most of the central Balkans and the Greek peninsula. After a few years, however, the diocese was split in two, forming the Diocese of Macedonia and the Diocese of Dacia, encompassing the provinces of Dacia Mediterranea, Moesia Inferior, Dardania, Praevalitana and Dacia Ripensis.
Since 238, Moesia was constantly invaded or raided by the Carpi, and the Goths, who had already invaded Moesia in 250. Hard pressed by the Huns, the Goths again crossed the Danube during the reign of Valens (376) and with his permission settled in Moesia.
Late Roman[5] Dardania did not include the eastern part of the Dardania of Aurelian[clarification needed].
Byzantine Dardania[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (February 2010)
The area remained part of the Byzantine empire until the late early 7th century when the Slavic migration destroyed Byzantine authority in most of the Balkan peninsula. Since then Dardania ceased to exist as separate administrative entity.
Dardania's largest towns by the time it was part of the Roman province of Moesia Superior were Ulpiana, Therranda, Vicianum, Skopi,[6] Vindenis, and Velanis. By this time Naissus[7] (a previously Celtic settlement) was the province's most important city.The Romans had organized a mining town municipium Dardanicum[8] (in modern Socanica near the Ibar valley) was connected with the workings (metalla Dardanica[8]). Dacians[9] lived in Dardania in their city Quemedava.
Episcopal sees[edit]
The only ancient episcopal see of the Roman province or Dardania listed in the Annuario Pontificio as a titular see is that of Diocletiana (modern Castoria?).[10]

Things I liked:ACCYRACY , ACCURACY, ACCURACY !
Things I would have changed:Nothing ,easy to cock very light , oh and did I say its ACCURATE !
What others should know:When I first got the rifle I got more of a pattern rather than a group . Thought about sending it back but with Pyrarmyd Air's 30 day money back warranty and most everyone saying air guns need as many as 500 or so shots for a break in , I decided t give that a try . WOW ! after about 400 it just kept getting better and better . Now at 700+ I now have a "tack driver" GREAT rifle
Things I liked:The gun is light enough and easy to cock. The kids have no problem shooting this rifle. I enjoy shooting it myself.
Things I would have changed:Maybe eliminate some of the mass from the stock. Slim it up a bit.
What others should know:I gave four stars for accuracy because of the fiber optic sights. They are very bright and at 20 yards they seem to hide the target somewhat. The little gun is very accurate but the glow of the FO sight impairs my ability to hit a pop can at beyond 20 yards. Also for what it is worth, the wadcutter or flat heads were most consistently accurate with this particular gun.
Things I liked:I like it's weight, 5.7#, velocity 603fps with Exact RS .177 7.33gr pellets, accuracy was very good with these pellets, ease of cocking 18#, fit of stock was very good, finish was very good, good rear sight, trigger is 3.75# pull but breaks cleanly, shape of stock fits iron sights well.
Things I would have changed:The front sight could have been better with just an iron blade instead of the rather large round fiber optic sight.
What others should know:This is a very good low power air rifle. The CPHP 7.9gr pellets averaged 608 fps and the Hobby 7gr pellets averaged 652 fps. The noise level is a little more than an HW30 but less than a Benjamin 397 with 3 pumps. I got the best accuracy with the Exact RS round nose 7.33gr pellets. You must pay attention to your hold and follow through to get good accuracy. I bought this rifle to practice shooting at short distances with iron sights and it does this job very well. I won't be trading it anytime soon.

Hey everybody!
im going to be heading out to my favorite place in Tennessee, the Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness near Sparta, TN. We will get an early start on Saturday morning, hike in to the falls, camp for the night, then hike out the next day. A truly spectacular area, with lots of side hikes to Sheep Cave falls, and Big Branch falls, as well as checking out the Caney Fork river. I cant wait to get out there!
The hike to Virgin Falls is about four miles, with a half mile stretch that sports a four hundred foot plus elevation change! Slow going heading down into the falls, as well as coming out. Its a great hike that takes between 2 1/2 - 4 hours one way. Nice challenging beginner/ intermediate trip. Plenty of side hikes and loops to add to the mileage if you feel so inclined. Also, I would like to ask for your assistance. Whenever I go there, I bring a kitchen size trash bag, and try to pick up trash, clean out the fire pits, and leave the area better than I found it. Unfortunately, the park tends to get overused, and I have yet to have less than an overflowing trash bag when I hike out! Its definately not mandatory, but if you feel like it I would love to have some extra muscle in taking out some more trash! Heres the Virgin Falls website:

Hey everybody!
Got some emails from all of you, and we will meet at 8am instead of 7am for the trip. The weather is going to be cold, so pack appropriately! The lows at night will be getting into the 20s. It will be windy, but no rain in the picture. Another question was when we might be off the trail on Sunday. I would imagine getting an early start, we would be off the trail anywhere between 10am-noon at the latest. Also, we should car pool. I do NOT have a car. Any volunteers?

Hot news: The best workplace temperature is warm or cold
You sit at your cubicle and the temperature is perfect — that is until the worker near you turns on her under-the-desk 1950s era space heater and blasts you with a tropical heat wave worthy of an Al Gore documentary.
"It's too cold" versus "It's too hot" seems to be a never-ending battle in the workplace. Studies say they have the answer — and some countries even have passed laws dictating where the thermostat should be set.
Fans of the cold will like the study that came from the cool minds of the Helsinki University of Technology and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory: "In this study, we focused on the effects of temperature on performance at office work. The results show that performance increases with temperature up to 21-22 Celsius (69.8 to 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit), and decreases with temperature above 23-24 Celsius (73.4 to 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit). The highest productivity is at temperature of around 22 Celsius (71.6 degrees Fahrenheit)."
Gaebler.com's "Resources for Entrepreneurs" took the Helsinki study and declared a solution: "For business owners who are tired of workers complaining about the temperature, set the office thermostat to 71.6 degrees and say, 'The office temperature argument is officially over. We are setting the office temperature at the optimal temperature for the business, based on science. Now go back to work!' "
So everything was settled until Cornell University decided to get in on the act and do its own study: "At 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the workers were keyboarding 100 percent of the time with a 10 percent error rate, but at 68 degrees, their keying rate went down to 54 percent of the time with a 25 percent error rate," said Alan Hedge, professor of design and environmental analysis and director of Cornell's Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory. "Temperature is certainly a key variable that can impact performance."
According to Forbes, the results surprised Hedge: "Hedge placed the temperature in the low 70s in the winter, basing the temperature on standards set by the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers; they say 76 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal in summer, and 72 in the winter. 'We expected that when you cool people down, they work harder and better,' (Hedge told Forbes), 'We found the exact opposite. When it was cool to colder in the office, people did less work and made more mistakes.' "
Fast Company liked the Cornell study: "(It) makes sense. When our body's temperature drops, we expend energy keeping ourselves warm, making less energy available for concentration, inspiration, and insight."
The Society for Human Resource Management quoted a CareerBuilder survey that found 22 percent of workers say "a too-hot workplace makes it difficult to concentrate at work." The study also said 11 percent of workers said chilly workplaces make it hard to work."
So if workers and studies can't agree, maybe it is time for the government to step in.
The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration doesn't have any rules on temperature, but does have a few ideas: "OSHA recommends temperature control in the range of 68-76 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity control in the range of 20 to 60 percent."
The U.K., however, has no qualms about setting temperature guidelines. The U.K.'s Health and Safety Executive states: "The law does not state a minimum temperature, but the temperature in workrooms should normally be at least 16 degrees Celsius unless much of the work involves severe physical effort in which case the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius (55.4 degrees Fahrenheit). These temperatures may not, however, ensure reasonable comfort, depending on other factors such as air movement and relative humidity."
Ontario, Canada's Ministry of Labor says, "The regulations set a minimum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (64.4 degrees Fahrenheit), subject to some exemptions for things like work outdoors or in freezers."
New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment talks about thermal comfort and says that when "most people will be thermally comfortable" is, in summer, 66.2 to 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit and, in winter, 64.4 to 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
In other words, studies say the optimum temperature for productivity is either 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 77 degrees Fahrenheit. If you let government set the thermostat, it could range from 55.4 to 71.6 degrees.
Which leads us to an observation about the arguments over temperature and productivity made at Gaebler.com's "Resources for Entrepreneurs": "In fact, the biggest productivity loss may be the discussion itself."

Doing good with great software
"Energized Work's approach to rapidly producing quality software is the best I've seen in the last 20 years."
CTO at a leading global provider of retail trading services
We are taking a stand against bad software and poor delivery.
We started Energized Work because we got tired of seeing businesses let down by software delivery. We deliver what's needed - on time and on budget, and stop money being wasted on technology that isn't needed, features that won't be used and software that isn't up to the job.
We've been called business peoples' techies
We help businesses pursue opportunities and solve business problems. We stay focused on the business drivers and don't let technology overtake purpose.
because we care.
We're interested in what you have to say. We want to understand what you're trying to do because we make a point of creating software that lets you do things the way they want without technology getting in the way.
We work differently to deliver maximum value.
We iterate to reduce uncertainty and risk. Continuous feedback helps us understand what's going to work best. We learn what's really needed and respond quickly to ensure the benefits delivered are more valuable than the cost of the software.
There's no nonsense, no waste and no secrets.
We swapped convention for common sense, disciplined technique and radical transparency. While others are trying to figure everything out up front we're delivering working features every week. We were early adopters of Extreme Programming and in 2009 we received the Agile Alliance Gordon Pask Award for our contributions to agile practice.
We work in small, collocated teams that punch above their weight.
We work in really small teams that do all the heavy lifting at the back end and all the cool stuff at the front end. We know that a handful of really capable guys, who have worked together for years and sit in the same room, consistently deliver better results than a big team a thousand miles away.
We are out to make quality mean something
We build software that works. And we stand behind it. Experience has taught us that cutting corners comes back and hurts. We don't put things off in the rush to get software out the door because we know there's never time to put things right. We design solutions to run in the real world without hassle. Running costs are low and we don't get calls in the middle of the night.
and put the 'soft' back into software.
The total cost of owning poor quality software kills competitiveness. Businesses get locked into software that's expensive to maintain, too brittle to build on and too risky to replace. We promise to deliver business assets made from healthy, robust and malleable software that can be built upon safely to keep delivering business benefits.
