Editor's letter | Upholding standards
PUBLISHED: 11 Dec 2012 14:39:02 | UPDATED: 12 Dec 2012 12:56:12PUBLISHED: 07 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 07 Dec 2012Leng Yeow
Relax and enjoy the Christmas break because things will really ramp up in 2013. Next year the financial planning industry will again be in the spotlight with the July introduction of the Future of Financial Advice Act but at least it's out from under the microscope (for now).
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has shifted its focus to other areas including research houses, asset consultants and high-frequency trading.
This year the regulator conducted its first review of the asset consulting industry citing concerns about consultants recommending the same implemented products they sell but concluding no immediate response was warranted.
Similarly it is not expected to impose changes to the business models of research houses, despite earlier reports from both ASIC and the US Securities and Exchange Commission that the pay-for-ratings model created a disincentive for researchers to provide a negative rating.
Australia is one of the few places in the world where the pay-for-ratings model is still acceptable. There are now five research houses in Australia, following the exit of Standard & Poor's local ratings and fund services operations in October. By contrast, there are three main global credit ratings agencies: Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, which all operate under a subscriber-pays model.
Until recently, European investors were OK with the pay-for-ratings model but negative investor sentiment has seen them move away from it.
Tim Murphy, co-head of fund research at Morningstar, says European investors have a much bigger exposure to fixed income compared to Australians, so they're more likely to suffer from an inaccurate, biased credit rating.
Locally, Lonsec and Zenith employ a pay-for-ratings model while Morningstar, Mercer and van Eyk Research operate on a subscriber-pay basis. Morningstar also charges funds managers an annual royalty fee to use its ratings.
Van Eyk, in its submission to ASIC, pushed for a more even distribution of ratings from pay-for-ratings houses, after it found fund managers who pay to be rated are twice as likely to gain a recommended or highly recommended rating than those who do not. It also wants better disclosure of conflicts of interest.
The regulator's hardline approach towards financial planners appears disproportionate to its lax attitude towards other parts of the financial services industry, given each part plays an important role as guardians of Australia's $1.3 trillion super and pension industry.
Last month, Property Investment Professionals of Australia called on the federal government and ASIC to regulate property advice following a spate of dodgy practices all under the guise of independent advice. PIPA chairman Ben Kingsley raised concerns about the number of investors being encouraged to set up self-managed superannuation funds as vehicles to invest in property.
ASIC has signalled it plans to monitor financial planners and accountants over these concerns. But currently, anyone can promote property as an investment option and call themselves a financial adviser or finance adviser or investment adviser.
Independent financial planners want unqualified and unlicensed operators stopped as much as anyone. The entire financial services industry, not just financial planners, have an enormous obligation to uphold a standard of excellence and self-regulation, which will also prevent the need for another round of crippling reforms.
See you next year.

This where the flash should stand...
The Crazy Flower watch wins 2010 "Best Jewelry Watch" award
19/10/2010Crazy Flower GJE25BB20.8989DB1
At the annual Robb Report prize-giving ceremony held in Shanghai on September 26th, the Best of the Best Award in the Jewelry watch category was won by Breguet's latest Haute Joaillerie creation: Crazy Flower.
This watch combines the pure and elegant beauty of diamonds with the technical feat of mobile gem-setting. Its case is adorned with baguette-cut diamonds set in such a way as to enable three or four asymmetrical rows to swing gently between the case middle and bezel. The 116 baguette-cut diamonds sway in step with wrist movements, evoking blooming petals fluttering in the breeze. The dial is composed of 206 brilliant-cut diamonds "inverse-set" on a concave face rimmed by a flange set with 66 brilliant-cut diamonds. The hands are delicately rounded to match the curve of the dial, and the chapter ring is set with 20 baguette-cut diamonds. A total of more than 36 carats of diamonds combine in a spectacular gem-setting accomplishment from the talented craftsmen of the Breguet Haute Joaillerie workshop.

Date of birth: 1982 Place of birth: LiverpoolBiography: Alex Curran is happily married to Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard. They share two daughters together Lilly-Ella and Lexie who live at the family home in Merseyside. Curran has taken a dip into everything from modeling to releasing a perfume, and also writes a successful fashion column for the Daily Mirror 'Go shopping with Alex Curran'. Referred to as an 'Uber-WAG' by The Times, Alex is known as the more fashion focused of the bunch, frequently reported to have been shopping at her favourite liverpool boutique Cricket, much like WAG pal coleene. However Curran is set to expand her fashion horizons, to make sure fashion faux-pas arent committed like they were at the German world cup in 2006. Instead Curran has allegedly splashed out almsot £27000 on French label Balmain to blend in with her high fashion peers.

Along with music, costumes and props help reinforce the style and tone of your ride.
Equestrian drill is not limited to any one discipline of riding, and this is reflected in the creative freedom teams have for their costuming. Costumes don't have to be elaborate. Many teams start with matching t-shirts and pants (breeches or jeans) and work from there. The keys to a successful costume is that your team looks like they belong together and they are able to ride comfortably in what they're wearing.
Teams that choose to showcase a breed or style of riding may decide to go back to traditional show ring attire to emphasize this. Show clothes can also be an easy option if everyone already has them. Some teams go the other way, and use drill as an opportunity to ride in bright colours with lots of sparkle. Making a statement (conservative or otherwise) is part of the fun!
Don't forget: the horses' tack is an important part of your team's costume! While you don't need everything to be exactly the same, do make an effort to look cohesive. Simple things like using the same colour of saddle pad on each horse, matching boots or wraps, and the same style of saddle all create a unified look.
Something to think about: The only time perfectly matching tack really matters is during a competition's Colour Guard class, where a unit of four riders are judged on how identical they are, along with horsemanship and flag etiquette. Otherwise, you can probably get away with an all-purpose saddle on a dressage team, or a trail saddle in with barrel racing tack.
If you're short a few items, consider borrowing or buying second hand. Many teams do fund raisers throughout the year to purchase costumes and tack without straining their members' budgets.
Props are not a necessary piece to your drill routine, but they can add that something extra to help show off what your team can do. The most popular prop used by drill teams is flags or pennants. Riding with flags increases the level of difficulty since riders are now working with only one hand. Teams have incorporated jumps into their routines. Remember, if you're working towards a performance, you're only limited by your creativity. However, drill competitions may limit the types of props allowed in the ring so be sure to check the rules for whatever venue you're riding at.

I wrote an article for EmpowHER recently about Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to ban large sugary drinks from restaurants.
He wanted these super-sized behemoths to be taken off menus. A person would still be able to get a pretty large drink and have free refills.
His attempt failed due to the ban being blocked by a New York judge, at least for now.
Many in New York are upset. They think that legally curbing certain food choices (much like was done with trans fats) will lead to better health in general and lessen medical costs for the growing epidemic of obesity.
But others, including the state of Mississippi, vehemently disagree.
Citing personal choice and a distaste for government or legal interference with individual rights, this attempted ban on large sugary drinks caused an uproar. Commentators talked about their choice to eat or drink anything (in any amount) without any kind of interference.
Some compared these choices to the abortion debate.
Commentators wonder when the government will stop trying to run the lives of private citizens while others wonder why obese people who make poor nutritional choices should get free health care for their obesity-related illnesses, causing higher taxes or insurance hikes.
Sarah Palin showed up at a GOP conference, sipping a huge soda, telling the crowd that it's "just pop, with low-cal ice cubes in it." She received thunderous applause. Read more here: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/sarah_pops_off_at_mike_eimIanq47kg...
Mississippi has taken it a little further, passing what some call the "Anti-Bloomberg Bill" (not the official name of the law), stating that no government entity other than State legislation can pass a bill like this.
Governor Phil Bryant signed this bill stating that "It simply is not the role of the government to micro-regulate citizens' dietary decisions," the governor wrote about his decision, "...the responsibility for one's personal health depends on individual choices about a proper diet and appropriate exercise."
Good piece, Susan. I'm a born New Yorker, who transplanted herself to Arizona (and all in good time from what I can tell). While I understand the concerns, I don't think government, on any level, has the right to dictate our personal choices. The minute it is allowed in one area, it snowballs into all the others. It started with smoking, is now onto obesity. What will follow that, and where will it stop? There will always be something that others think no one should be doing because they don't like it. We can't take away the free will (ability to choose for ourselves) that God gave us.
IF the argument really is higher medical costs, then you are talking a slippery slope with no end in sight. Look at boxers and football players, suffering head injuries. Is that not a "self-induced" medical issue due to their choices? Their medical care/needs also raises our costs and premiums. What about runners later in life with all kinds of joint problems from all the "healthy" running they did in their earlier years. That can easily also be called "self-induced" as they chose to do all that running in order to be "healthy".
There are far too many things that can affect all of us, regardless of what we do or don't do. Look at all the people who do everything right and still get these so-called smoking/obesity/sports related medical problems.
I'm not advocating that we do "unhealthy" things, but what is unhealthy for one, is not necessarily unhealthy for another.
Just my two cents.

A federal report says contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune cannot be linked to health problems of people who lived on the base.
According to the report released Saturday by the National Research Council, from the 1950s to 1985, people who lived and worked at Camp Lejeune were exposed to industrial solvents that tainted well-water. But the report cannot definitely connect the health problems to the base's water supply.
Findings indicate people on base did not have diseases different from the general population, and the levels of contaminants in the water were not high enough to cause health problems.

Change of circumstances
If you receive housing benefit or council tax support, you must tell us immediately if you or the people living with you have any changes in circumstances.
Some changes may mean you are entitled to more benefits, but others could mean you no longer qualify for benefits or should receive a lower amount.
Always report any change in circumstances as soon as it happens.
How do I report a change of circumstances?
To report your change of your circumstances, please contact us using the details on this page. To report changes by post, download and complete a change in circumstances form.
Change of address
If you move home and want to continue to claim housing benefit or council tax support for your new home, please contact us using the details on this page. To report a change by post, download and complete a change of address form:
- Change of address form for council tenants and people who own their own home
- Change of address form for private landlord (non council) tenants
Which changes should I report?
Examples of changes you should report are:
- Your or your partner's income goes up or down
- Your or your partner's savings go up or down
- You or your partner start or stop working
- Your or your partner's benefits change
- Anyone joins or leaves your household
- The income or capital of any non-dependant in your household changes
- You rent from a private landlord or housing association and your rent changes
- You rent from a private landlord and the type of tenancy you have changes
- You move to a new home
If you're not sure whether you need to report a change, ring our benefits advice line on 0300 1234 121 to check.
You will need to provide proof of any change in circumstances. We can only accept original documents, not photocopies. Please don't send valuable items to us in the post.
When should I report a change?
If you tell us about changes as soon as they happen, we can adjust your claim quickly. This means you'll be paid the right amount of benefit, and it will help prevent benefit overpayments.
When will my benefit change?
If your change in circumstance means you'll get more benefit, your benefit will usually go up from the Monday after you tell us about the change. If you don't tell us about changes promptly, you'll miss out on benefit owed to you.
If your change in circumstances means you'll get less benefit, your benefit will usually go down from the Monday after the date of the change.
Do landlords need to report changes?
If you're a landlord, you must tell us about any changes you are aware of. For example, if your tenant moves out of the property you are letting.
Do pensioners need to report changes?
If you're a pensioner receiving either guaranteed pension credit or savings pension credit, you don't have to tell us about any change in your income. You need to tell the Pension Service instead. They'll work out your income level and tell us what it is. The Pension Service will need to know that you're claiming housing benefit or council tax support.
You should report all other changes to us.
What happens if I don't report a change?
If you don't tell us promptly about a change of circumstances, we may take action against you. This could include going to court, a fine or a formal warning called a caution.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Countdown to the Conclave, Day 9: Did the American Cardinals Talk Too Much?
By Deal W. Hudson & Deacon Keith Fournier
March 7th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The decision of the U.S. cardinals to hold daily press briefings can no doubt be understood, exactly as explained by Cardinal DiNardo, an attempt to help Catholics understand the process of a proceeding clothed in the attire of a mysterious ritual. WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic online) - Fox News is reporting that someone among the U.S. cardinals has been talking to freely to the Italian press. As a result the U.S. cardinals cancelled their 30-minute daily press briefings. The Vatican denied any pressure was exerted leading to their decision. The leaks are being explained away, cordially, as the difference between an American style "openness" and the more aloof style of European cardinals, especially the Italians. Rev. Federico Lombardi, chief Vatican spokesman, reiterated, "The College [of Cardinals] as a whole decided to maintain a line of an increasing degree of reserve." The problem came to light on Monday and Tuesday when La Stampa, a leading Italian newspaper, reported specific remarks made by individual cardinals in the closed pre-conclave sessions. This was considered a "violation of their oath of secrecy," according to Fox. More than one media outlet, including the Associated Press, has noted the accessibility of the U.S. cardinals in contrast to the others. On Monday and Tuesday a press conference was held for 100 reporters with Cardinal DiNardo of Houston and Cardinal O'Malley of Boston. Cardinal DiNardo defended the meeting, saying, "We're trying to help people have a greater understanding of what the process is and the procedures and background information." Cardinal O'Malley was asked to comment further but declined, in a puzzling way, "Right now that's about all we can share with you but we're happy to try to do it." Sister Mary Ann Walsh, the spokeswoman for the U.S. cardinals, downplayed the controversy, "I don't think anyone was angry at the Americans, they were angry at La Stampa." Given the personalities involved and the dramatic setting, the facts are probably far more complicated as various individuals and coalitions jockey for position prior to the voting. (Remember there is still an official heresy in Catholic teaching called "Americanism.") The decision of the U.S. cardinals to hold daily press briefings can no doubt be understood, as explained by Cardinal DiNardo, an attempt to help Catholics understand the process of a proceeding clothed in the attire of a mysterious ritual. We are speculating, but there surely are some cardinals who did not appreciate the Americans hosting a daily gathering for 100 of the world's leading journalists, while the rest of the cardinals maintained a rigid silence. It's ironic that Cardinal O'Malley, only a day earlier, told an audience at the North American College that he expected the cardinals would be receiving a briefing on the "Vatileaks" scandal of the past year: "I assume that important information will be shared that will help us make our decisions." Among those documents leaked were letters to Benedict XVI from Carlo Maria Vignano, the present Vatican nuncio to the United States, written while Vignano was deputy governor of Vatican City. One of the letters contained accusations against members of the Vatican's Finance and Management Committee of improper use of over 2.3 million dollars. Other leaked documents deal with Vatican financial and bank scandals going back to the early 1980s. Given the nature of the leaked information, it's no wonder Cardinal O'Malley, and presumably the other cardinals, expect a full briefing. One wonders, and again we are speculating, whether Cardinal O'Malley's making public his expectation of a "Vatileaks" briefing has any connection to the criticism of the daily meetings with the press hosted by the U.S. cardinals.

i've been smokin' for 30 years. Even I am scared of ppl zoning out while high. That fear has led me to support decrim over legalization. However, I don't want to get caught in the trap where the gov't can use medical vs legalization or legalization vs decrim because, that's what the gov't does to us with republican vs democrat. [I always vote for democrat judges]Me and my crowd all lean republican/independent/libertarian but, we all favor some sort of reform to outright legalization.
Be aware and don't let them trick you into fighting against each other. Get behind and support whomever has the best chance at victory. I believe any victory for weed is a victory for freedom .

Inspired by Normandy

If not for a family tragedy, Dominique Francois might never have become a historian.
In 1940, Francois' grandfather was a widower tending a farm near the beaches of Normandy when the German army occupied France. Soldiers built a series of bunkers on his grandfather's land to fortify the peninsula in the case of a possible invasion, much to his grandfather's displeasure.
"It was a hard time for my grandfather," Francois said Tuesday by phone from his home in Normandy. "There were so many Germans everywhere. My grandfather was an officer during the first world war and didn't want anything to do with war ever again."
Francois' grandfather lived on the farm with his three young sons and adopted niece. His wife had died in 1943.
On June 5, 1944, as German soldiers manned the bunkers preparing for an invasion, aircraft began dotting the sky at about 10 p.m. Bombs began to drop, and three hit directly on the farmhouse.
Two of the boys, one of whom would be Francois' father, were thrown from the house by the force of the impact.
Shaken but unhurt, the boys ran to a nearby village, where many other homes had been destroyed by bombs, and found shelter in a church. The next day, June 6, American paratroopers arrived in the village and rescued the two brothers.
After the area had been secured by the invading Allied Army, the Americans took the brothers back to their farm, where they found the body of their father in the bombed out rubble. He had died shielding their other brother, who was still alive. The niece was found alive a few days later.
Francois' father was just 10 years old at the time.
"My father liked to say that June 5, even though it was a terrible day when he lost his father, was a great time because of the American GIs, who gave them chocolate bars and rations and took care of them," Francois said. "He said he would never forget what the American soldiers did for our country."
Stories an inspiration
Growing up hearing his father's stories of Normandy inspired Francois to become an historian and author, specializing in the events of D-Day and the subsequent Normandy military campaign. He has written 15 books on the subject and has served as a consultant for the History Channel, NBC and Inertia Films.
Francois, who still lives in Normandy, will present a program entitled "Normandy: Before and After D-Day," at 1 p.m. Friday in the auditorium at the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home. His visit is made possible through the William T. Kemper Foundation.
Francois also will speak in Salina at 7 p.m. Friday in Sams Chapel on the Kansas Wesleyan University campus.
During both programs, Francois will give a visual presentation and discuss the Nazi occupation of Normandy, the Allied invasion and the liberation of France.
Respect for Americans, British
"In Normandy, people have a special interest and respect for Americans and the British," he said. "They know how much your country paid to free them. Normandy is like the 51st state. You see everyone there with American flags."
A limited number of copies of Francois' book "Normandy: From D-Day to the Breakout: June 6-July 31, 1944" will be available for purchase at the Eisenhower Library. Retail price is $24.99.
Francois' program is part of the current exhibit at the Eisenhower Museum, "World War II Remembered: Leaders, Battles & Heroes," a three-year commemoration of World War II marking the 70th anniversaries of the war and its aftermath told through personal stories.
Karl Weissenbach, executive director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, said he was looking for a speaker from Europe to speak about D-Day and contacted Francois.
"Having his family go through what it did makes him a better speaker," Weissenbach said. "It's something that needs to be told -- not just focusing on the major players but smaller players involved. It's also an opportunity and privilege to thank our veterans for their contributions, not only in World War II, but other wars as well."
Events in Normandy
Weissenbach said plans are in the works for a major 70th anniversary commemoration of D-Day at the Eisenhower Library. The biggest commemoration event will be in Normandy, where Francois said 10,000 people have been invited to attend the celebration.
"President Obama plans to be there, as well as Queen Elizabeth and the Queen of Holland," Francois said. "And then there will be smaller celebrations everywhere in Normandy."
During his program, Francois said he wants to give Americans a sense of what it was like to spend four years under German occupation, be part of the French underground that fought against it and what it meant to France to have their country liberated.
"The liberation of our country after four years of occupation is so important to the French," he said. "There's such a special connection between Normandy and the U.S."

It's more important than ever to get hay dry and packaged well with speed, says Clif Little, an Ohio State University Extension educator.
"Cutting and drying hay quickly is always important," he says. But this year's late start due to weather challenges, plus high feed prices, means producers should do all they can to produce quality hay with little or no rain damage.
"We're fighting rain as well as other work we've got to do around the farm. But we still have to get hay up quickly … so the following steps may allow producers to get it up a day or two earlier," Little advises.
• Make sure hay-mowing equipment rollers are adjusted properly.
• Cut hay in the morning after the dew is off to help speed drying time and reduce carbohydrate losses due to respiration. Respiration continues until the plant dries to a moisture content of about 40%.
• Lay high-yielding forages in a wide swath to give them better access to sun and wind.
• Use a tedder to reduce drying time by spreading the hay. Tedding will increase costs in terms of time and fuel, but that increase will be offset by a reduction in drying time.
• Ted hay shortly after cutting and when it contains no less than 50% moisture to reduce leaf shatter and forage loss.
• Rake hay at an optimal moisture content of 30-40%. Raking hay at an improper moisture content can contribute to loss of plant leaf material. Rake before the hay is ready to bale or very dry, which can cause major leaf shatter and reduce the overall nutrient content of the forage.
• Bale hay at the proper moisture content based on the size and shape of bales to reduce harvest and storage loss. For most small rectangular and large round bales, bale when the forage's moisture content is at 18%. For high-density, large rectangular bales, bale at 12-14% moisture for proper storage.
• If storing hay outside, choose a dry location, preferably on a solid surface, such as rock, and make sure it is in a high spot with good drainage and open to wind.

MVNO epidemic continues
The industry has claimed another two MVNO casualties. Micro-MVNO-enabler Sonopia has let go of all of its U.S. staff, according to MEOW! Blog, and last week Movida, an IDT-backed Cisneros Group-backed MVNO targeted at Spanish speakers, went bankrupt.
Let's face it the MVNO market looks pathetic. The high-profile demises of Amp'd Mobile, Disney Mobile and Mobile ESPN�have produced many a�group�obituary for the�once high-flying business model. The last remaining big-name MVNO, Helio, appears to be hanging by a thread, dependent on cash-infusions from SK Telecom to keep it running. You have to wonder how tiny operators like Kajeet Wireless�manage to keep going. Perhaps targeting your virtual service at preteens is the one MVNO business model that works.
The odd thing is that the segment-focused business�strategies these failed companies professed to adopt actually do work. In fact, two MVNOs seem to have them down to a science, Virgin Mobile and Tracfone. Virgin Mobile is targeting the same youth demographic as Helio and Amp'd though it spreads its wings a little more broadly. Virgin has managed to sign up more than 5 million subscribers. Of course, it also posted a loss of $14.7 million in the 4th quarter, but it's hardly insolvent. Virgin's founder Sir Richard Branson even stopped by CTIA Wireless�last week to defend the MVNO model–when he wasn't yanking our chains about star-liners bound for Mars.
Then there's Tracfone,�which America Movil�created in the U.S.�long before the�acronym�MVNO came into�the lexicon.�It has a whopping 9 million subscribers,�targeting primarily�the same Spanish-speaking audience that Movida pursued. So why are Tracfone and�Virgin Mobile so successful when Movida and Amp'd were not? It's basically semantics. Back in the pre-hype days we'd know Tracfone and Virgin simply as prepaid resellers. Sure, they target specific segments, but those segments happen to be where the biggest demand for prepaid services lie: the large populations of pimply kids and recent immigrants who don't have the credit records to�land a post-paid contract.�Tracfone and�Virgin thus advertise and market to those groups accordingly.
Amp'd, Movida and the rest of the boutique MVNOs were trying to do something more: establish a culture around the cellphone. Amp'd sold content reflecting a certain hip lifestyle. Mobile ESPN promised non-stop scores and highlights for the sports junkie. Movida�didn't just focus on Spanish speakers, it focused on Hispanic culture. Sonopia takes that concept to its furthest extreme, creating the smallest of vanity services.
I won't go so far to say that�the MVNO model will only work�under the umbrella of prepaid resale. But it's clear that the MVNO identity brands aren't working. Maybe the segments they target are large enough to support� boutique service providers, but it's obvious that�only a fraction of the people within those segments are willing to�make their wireless service reflect that�identity. Amp'd had realized this. It tried to�turn itself from�a service provider to�a content�provider before bankruptcy caught up with it. And Mobile ESPN seems to be doing a lot better as an app�on the Verizon deck than as a stand alone operator.
There's still plenty of room for identity on the mobile phone, but a single service provider promoting a single�pigeonholed lifestyle�isn't the way to deliver it. If the boutique MVNO model is problematic now, it will become obsolete in a matter of years as networks start to open. Verizon's open-developer initiative, Sprint's Xohm network�and Google's Android all imply a world where the services and access are separated.�The new MVNOs won't be "virtual network operators" at all. They'll have nothing to do with the network whatsoever.
Update:�Thanks to the readers�who pointed out an error in the post. Movida's primary backer is�the Latin�American conglomerate�Cisneros Group, not IDT. IDT�launched Tuyo Mobile.

I would like some inputs on the best rifle scopes with variable power capability that are available in under 200$ range. I have been away from that market for a long time. Thanks.

I haven't tried every scope on the market but I use the one in the link below for my nighttime hunting. It gets banged around in the bed of a truck to and from hunting spots, up and down ladders, through heavy cover while stalking, and I have not had a problem. Good clear views, red/green ranged reticle, priced right. I use a PEPR mount.http://swfa.com/Truglo-3-12x44-TBX-Riflescope-P11109.aspx

The secret to optics is to spend the money once. Buy a decent optic and just deal with the cost as opposed to trying a cheap one and replacing it multiple times. Check opticsplanet.com
I don't need No stinking signature.
What type of Rifle?? What will it be used for?? For a decent overall scope I would suggest: http://www.opticsplanet.com/weaver-rifle-scopes-v10-10x38.html Not the site, the scope.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Check out nikon and Burris. Great scopes. 3x9 are generally under 200 for both brands
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
I just purchased and am waiting for UTG 4x30 Compact CQB scope. Not expensive and probably not much, but am willing to play with what I can get for the time being.
I'm new around here, but thought I'd chime in on this one... Just this morning I purchased a Redfield Revenge 2-7x34. I don't have it in-hand yet, but it will be here Wednesday and I will update with my initial thoughts. Also, if you buy a Redfield Revenge or Revolution scope between now and December 31, 2012, you get a $30 mail-in-rebate. I paid $139 with free shipping for the scope from Amazon and with the rebate, it comes down to $109. A lifetime warranty only adds to the value, in my opinion. I've never shot a Redfield scope before, but I understand they have great rapport with shooters. Someone much wiser than me may want to weigh in.

OK so by now you may have seen the massive number of pictures cataloging the cleanup effort at shop. I want to once again thank all the people who came out with so much labor. I have made a spreadsheet cataloging the number of hours invested since Tuesday and they are nearing 120 hours. This is so incredible. Thanks to the member and friends of the space we are getting this in order.
Last night, I made an appeal video and we started an Paypal Donation system. People who choose to donate directly to us can use the button. They will not get tax deduction status from this, but they could get a letter if they go through the FCAC Recovery Campaign. In fact a friend of mine made a donation because she didn't want to go through IndieGogo. I have submitted these links to Hackaday, Linz at Sparkfun, and the Make Magazine Blog editors. They we blasted on FB too. Please share them and If you have another place to send the appeal please let me know.
Today Steve Kell was rehabbing the Vex kits, keep your fingers crossed that they are able to be started. Here a couple of photos: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110697311190694136357/albums/6009737399526244257
FCAC is hosting an event on Friday night. It is in the series of the Hot Glass Cold Brew events that I have been looking to get us involved in for some time. Because of the recent events they want to try to raise awareness and funding for all the neighbors. I was asked by the FCAC Board to assemble a wish list for us and get it to them pronto. Ask for access as soon as you can because we need submit the list as soon as possible. Let's put down everything we lost. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuwDSho3TsLS-7plAmIuZy-Djft4eCmdhn7abBp2W2E/edit?usp=sharing
FCAC is going to be pushing the Indie Gogo at the event on Friday with iPads ready to hand over to get donations on Friday. I believe we could get a table if we asked and have some laptops up with our buttons. Can we think of anything we can whip out to giveaway if people make donations on the spot? Boy it would good if we knew someone with a laser cutter, time, and materials.. hint! If we made those tokens like you did before Jon with a special message about being a special donor, that would probably suffice.
OK let's hear your ideas... I can see that you read this stuff, write me back... I am a lonely old man. ;)

I was thinking about putting this in the Defensive Knives section as the uncooperative cat carries an array of edged weapons that he conceals quite well.
He has made it quite clear that he does NOT want to go into the carrier (and ultimately to the vet). I am not anxious to get cut. Tried a towel and that didn't work so well. I am open to suggestions.

Seems you have already made a terrific impression on people around you,no surprise there....and everyone seems very nice and friendly. Love you and miss you bunches, mom
Trip Start
Jun 2008
Trip End
Aug 2010
All is still well over here in Mauritania. I had a nice relaxing weekend, meaning there was really nothing for me to do....That is not exactly true, but I guess I am just not entirely used to the Mauritanian lifestyle, which consists of a consecutive series of catnaps throughout each day. Seriously, napping is one of the national pastimes here. You pretty much have to take a nap after you do anything. Wake up, take a nap. Eat breakfast, take a nap. Nap, take a nap. Maybe they are on to something, though, as I cannot remember when I have been this rested! It also helps considering five days of intensive Hassaniya language training in a row every week is fairly taxing.
In between respites, though, I did manage to get out and do some exploring. I met up with a few others and we walked to the opposite end of town (towards the Senegal boarder on the river) and headed north on one of Mauritania's two paved roads! In between cars slowing down offering us rides to the capital, we were able to get a nice look at the other side of the city, as well as some of the more fertile land along the banks of the mighty Senegal.
I also met up with one of the other volunteers and we played our guitars for my family. They seemed to enjoy it, as we had a few of the kids dancing...
I am just sitting here at the training center right now. We finished up a session for our sectors and have some downtime. Peace Corps fed us tuna sandwiches, which were glorious, and I am about to head back to my place to get ready for class this afternoon.
Everything is moving along here pretty quick. This Friday, we will all meet back up at the training center for some sessions, then on Monday we find out where our permanent sites will be and head out to them for a week. I will not lie, it is pretty exciting and we are all about as anxious as could be.
Enjoy the pictures, and I will get back to you one I figure out where I am going to live for the next two years! Ok. Gonna go take a nap.....
And We are back to beige!
Hi Mike, can't wait to read your next blog and know where you are going to end up. The countryside is back to beige...Penndot could do a major road overhall there. It would only take 20 years or so to finish it up...Doug and I are really loving your updates, so keep them coming. I have given your blog address to a banking customer here in Vero Beach. She is involved with the Rotary here and wants to start a youth program that does world-wide aid. She was much impressed with your involvments and wanted to follow your progress. You are branching out more than you know Mike. Love Aunt D

"If it's such a great profession, why aren't you turning tricks?" [Daily Beast]
Kirsten Powers has a great piece at the Daily Beast about the so-called "slut walks"
Gail Dines, professor of women's studies at Boston's Wheelock College and author of Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality, finds the Slut Walks alarming. She told me, "It is not understanding the context of the world they are living in. The average male today gets his major sex education from porn. And the message they get is that women are sluts." To the liberal feminists, whom Dines calls porn and prostitution apologists, she asks: "If it's such a great profession, why aren't you turning tricks?"
It's one thing to acknowledge that women are in control of their sexuality and have the intelligence to decide if and when to have sex. It's a whole other to celebrate a lifestyle that is primarily the result of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse. Anyone who's been out in the real world for any meaningful period of time has encountered enough "slutty" women to know that primarily only the emotionally damaged choose to have sex with many men. Where do you expect to find a higher incidence of depression, among female doctors and "oppressed" Christian homemakers or the San Fernando valley's porn stars?
And here's Cassy's piece at NRB about the subject today.
And here's a (censored) video of the hilarious Australian comedian Jim Jeffries talking about the difference between sluts and studs. Note to pseudo-feminists: there are biological reasons why a man who has a lot of sex is highly regarded while a woman is looked down upon for the same behavior. There are different biological results of both lifestyles.

One Amendment remains up for vote
POSTED: Friday, November 18, 2011 - 2:19pm
UPDATED: Monday, November 21, 2011 - 4:24pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — As you head back to the polls tomorrow, you'll have one Constitutional Amendment to vote on. It has to do with real estate taxes.
Your vote tomorrow will tell the Louisiana Legislature what they can do about a tax on the sale or transfer of real estate. The wording, as with most of the proposed changes to the constitution, is wordy.
Robert Travis Scott from the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana explains a little bit more about what your vote will do.
"If you vote yes, what you're doing is you're voting to say we're not going to let Louisiana create this type of real estate transfer tax in the future," he says. "If you vote no, you're not creating a tax. If you vote no, you're simply letting the system operate as it is now. If at some point in the future the legislature decides it wants to create this tax and the constitution would not prevent them from doing that."
Once you step in the voting booth, you'll only have three minutes to cast your vote for everything. That's why Scott says it's important to be informed.
P.A.R. has a guide breaking down tomorrow's amendment into plain English. Click here to view that information.
