Corsair Carbide 400R review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
It seems that whatever Corsair does with their products, it turns into gold. Admittedly the one thing you might not like about the chassis is the actual style, it's as subjective as anyone can be as that is a matter of taste. I'm in-between everything and think the chassis looks okay, but am not a big fan of the rounded bezel though.
However for 99 bucks you do get a serious chassis that does not forfeit a lot, in fact labeling it mid-range or mainstream doesn't even do it justice. The work space inside is great with easy access to pretty much anything and with 8 expansions lots there is plenty room for multiple graphics cards that are lengthy. Everything can be installed tool free and the new retention 3.5" HDD clips work a lot better then the previous models have shown.
Though being mainstream you do get an all black interior for the cool looks, the CPU back plate cutout for easy installation/replacement of CPU-coolers and overall features that belong in the enthusiast segment. We spot two USB 3.0 connectors at the front side, noticed plenty of grommet holes for cable routing, then there is a real good amount of room behind the motherboard for extensive cable management and then there are the dual 120mm radiator or fan mounts at the top. Corsair even includes lengthy screws to mount the radiator. And other simple stuff, if your motherboard is not yet equipped with the internal USB 3.0 connector block, then a small block to USB 3./0 connecter gender changer has been included.
As always it's all about details with Corsair and that makes this a grand chassis. You'll have plenty of airflow as the chassis has meshes everywhere, ehm let's see .. the one thing we missed out on was dust protection at the mesh side panel. So it would have been nice to see dust protection there. The PSU and front intake do have removable dust filters that you can clean out. That's it really, oh and perhaps the firewire could have been replaced with USB 2.0 or eSATA ports.
It's really the only remark I can think of.
Other then that, great design, pretty okay quality and a very nice feature set for a sub 100 USD chassis. As such we can recommend the Carbide as a true good value chassis.

Hello everyone, I've been brewing for awhile now using Bru'n Water, RO water and brewing salts to get the right PH. I've been thinminv about using some lactic acid to adjust the mash PH if the predicted PH is off. How do you go about measuring it out? And how do you know how much to add when the mash is under way....example..predicted PH=5.4, Actual PH=5.5. How do you know how much to add? Also at what level are you going to start tasting the lactic?
I bought these graded pipettes to measure it out:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If I am at a PH of 5.6-5.8 I will add a couple ml and recheck until I am in range. This is for 20-25lbs of grain (I do 12 gallon batches). I use the EZ Water Calculator spreadsheat to give me an idea of how much lactic. It is usually pretty close. I don't taste any lactic in my beers. The sparge water must take almost 10mls in order to bring it down below 6. Still no acidic taste. What PH meter do you have?
I should also note that I plan on starting to use Phosphoric acid in my sparge to ensure that my lighter styles don't get impacted by the lactic. Phosphoric is said to be tasteless.
+1 for phosphoric. Lactate comes through loud and clear for me in lighter beers. I use one of these. Comes with baby tylenol, or a lot of places sell them separately:
Duda Dieselhttp://www.dudadiesel.com/
double post
The medicine syringe mentioned above is good. Another option is a graduated medicine dropper that is typically sold in the infant care area. Those are typically graduated in fine enough units to measure out the doses we typically deal with.

Digital Rapids StreamZ Encoder Fuels Free Agent Fever for NBA's Miami HEAT
Industry's most versatile encoder powers live and file-based production and publishing workflows for one of the league's hottest teams
August 17, 2010 — Markham, Ontario: Digital Rapids announced today that The HEAT Group, owners of the Miami HEAT National Basketball Association (NBA) team and operators of Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena, are using Digital Rapids' StreamZ encoding system to speed the production of high-quality live and on-demand video content for the HEAT.com website and internal production workflows. Most recently, StreamZ was used for live streaming of events leading up to and following the signings of high-profile free agent players Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
The Broadcast Services department at The HEAT Group produces live event coverage and pre-packaged content for all departments in the organization, including advertising, marketing, internal training, the HEAT.com website, and shows airing on NBA TV and regional television. The group also produces content such as half-time features that are used within live game broadcasts on SunSports.
Online video is a key focus for the production group, as the team leverages it to support the HEAT brand, engage existing fans and grow the team's fan base globally. Content from the team's in-arena HEATV broadcast, special features and more are encoded through StreamZ into the formats required for on-demand Web viewing. StreamZ is also used for live Web streaming of special events and announcements. The StreamZ system is also used in an automated workflow to transcode library footage provided by NBA Entertainment into The HEAT Group's preferred editing format for subsequent production needs.
Finding their existing encoding solution slow and inefficient, The HEAT Group chose StreamZ for its exceptional performance, high quality and the versatility to meet their broad and growing digital media needs. StreamZ was supplied to The HEAT Group by reseller CIS Group.
"By enabling us to efficiently create high-quality material for HEAT.com with very fast turnaround, the Digital Rapids StreamZ system helps us engage and grow our fan base, and that has a direct impact on our revenues," said Ed Filomia, Senior Director of Broadcast Services for The HEAT Group. "We're able to get video content from the arena and events onto the website faster than ever before, while the versatility of the system lowers our equipment and operational costs by supporting our live and on-demand production needs in one platform."
The importance of streaming video as an integral part of the team's marketing strategy was underscored at the recent start of the NBA's 2010 free agency period. As part of a campaign to encourage HEAT star Wade to re-sign with the team, HEAT mascot Burnie took up residence on an exterior ledge of the arena for a week. To fuel publicity and fan interest in the campaign, StreamZ was used to provide a live stream of Burnie's exploits 24-hours per day through the HEAT.com website. The StreamZ system was also used for live streaming of the welcoming party and press conference marking the signings of Wade and his new superstar teammates James and Bosh.
"The worldwide appetite for online sports content continues to grow exponentially, and fans are looking to the Web for depth beyond just the games themselves. Online video has become an indispensible tool for major leagues and individual teams to expand their fan base globally," said Chris Krasinkiewicz, Vice President of Sales at Digital Rapids Corporation. "A large selection of timely content and great quality are key factors in keeping fans engaged and coming back regularly to a team or league's website. StreamZ enables the quick turnaround and exceptional visual quality that are needed to consistently achieve these goals. We're excited that The HEAT Group has chosen StreamZ for their diverse encoding needs across not only their website, but also their file-based production workflows."
StreamZ is the industry's most versatile multi-format encoding solution, delivering superior-quality video capture, encoding, transcoding and live streaming in powerful configurations that integrate easily into any media environment. Combining the quality and performance advantages of hardware-based processing with the format flexibility of software codecs and a feature-rich software application, StreamZHD seamlessly supports live and on demand multi-platform distribution opportunities and multi-format workflows with real-time encoding to multiple output formats.
The complete range of Digital Rapids solutions will be showcased in booth number 7.G41 at the IBC 2010 exhibition, September 10-14 in Amsterdam. For more information about Digital Rapids, please visit www.digital-rapids.com.

Access the full VMC image archive
It's been a busy week for Mars with the announcement that NASA's Curiosity rover has made the first definitive detection of Martian organic chemicals in material on the surface (see "NASA Rover Finds Active and Ancient Organic Chemistry on Mars"). We've known for some time that there's methane in the atmosphere (see "Mars Express confirms methane in the Martian atmosphere"), but this is the first confirmation of organic carbon in a rock on Mars.
Our own (much more modest!) contribution to Mars news this week comes right here at the VMC blog. We are delighted to announce that, in addition to the full image sets in Flickr, the entire VMC RAW-format image archive is now available for download.
The archive contains the unprocessed versions of every image the VMC camera on Mars Express has ever taken since launch back in 2003. These include the 2003 Beagle separation images, the Earth observation from 2014 and the images used to create the 2012 full orbit videos!
The data are available in two ways:
- There are zip files containing the full image set for each individual observation with the date and time of the observation in the zip file name; these are arranged in folders for each year/month with subfolders containing that month's observations.
- We also have full yearly sets of observations for download to make it easier for those who want to get the entire dataset; note the gap between 2003-2007 is due to VMC not being used in this period.
These files are contain exactly what was/is sent back to Earth from Mars Express. The only processing performed by the mission team at ESOC is to extract the image data from the packets received from the spacecraft and assemble these into the individual raw-format image files (as each image is split across several packets). As a result, anyone who wants to have a go at processing these files is working with genuine raw spacecraft data.
Note that for Flickr, we currently run the downloaded images through a standard set of tools to adjust contrast sharpness and colour levels – exactly the same processing is done for every image VMC acquires. While this produces some good pictures, it is clear that tailoring processing to a specific image can bring out even more details and an even better end result.
We invite you to give it a try! Some of the best VMC images we have seen have been those processed by members of the public.
Further information about the image format and about VMC itself can be found in our FAQ page.
This photo was taken by MEX 24.09 at 07:21.18UT, just a few hours after @MarsOrbiter orbit insertion! #MOM pic.twitter.com/WmNGUbr90N
— VMC - Mars Webcam (@esamarswebcam) September 25, 2014
More cool news
The other big upgrade we can announce is that the extraction and upload of the files downloaded from Mars Express – both to the raw archive and Flickr – has now been automated such that the images will be available in both archives within hours of them arriving on Earth, day or night.
This automated process is also now connected to the @esamarswebcam Twitter account, so when new images are uploaded, anyone who follows this account will be notified straight away! So, really, following the @esamarswebcam Twitter account is the best way to be kept up to date with VMC images as they are delivered live from Mars!

Welcome, Maven!
On behalf of ESA's entire Mars Express team, Welcome Maven! We thought you might enjoy a whole-disk image of your new planetary home.
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft successfully entered Mars' orbit at 04:24 CEST on 22 September 2014. This image was acquired by the low-resolution VMC camera on board Mars Express at 14:50 CEST on 20 September, when MAVEN was an estimated 312,000 km from Mars.
Earth seen from Mars: We are here
As you have seen from our recent blog posts and Flickr updates, VMC has been busy capturing some spectacular views of Mars.
However on 3 July, we once again turned away from Mars to look towards a more distant target.
Ever since our successful test of the VMC camera's long exposure mode (which brought us our first direct images of Phobos), there's one observation we've been keen to attempt:
An image of Earth!
Our chance observation of Jupiter in April served double duty as a dry run to evaluate if VMC stood a chance of detecting the famous pale blue dot.
With the success of the Jupiter pictures, we felt there was a good possibility that, whilst Earth would likely be faint, it would just be visible.
However, imaging Earth from a Mars-orbiting spacecraft using a camera with no specialised optics is not as simple as it sounds. So we thought we'd provide a brief overview of the kind of things that go into taking a picture like this.
One of the first issues we had deal with was determining the optimal time to take the photo.
Earth and Mars are both orbiting the Sun at different rates, so the angle between them regularly gets larger then smaller.
The larger the Mars-Sun-Earth angle, then – when viewed from Mars – the larger the percentage of Earth that is illuminated. So, you might conclude that we should take the image when this angle as big as possible.
However there are two problems with this:
- If this angle is very large, then Earth is much further away from Mars and thus will appear much smaller.
- The larger this angle gets, when we look towards Earth from Mars, the narrower the Mars/Sun angle gets. This means that the Sun will then be in the field of view of the camera.
This is not only prohibited in the interests the safety of our instruments but would also mean imaging something as faint as the Earth would be impossible as the light from the Sun would blind the camera.
The problem is illustrated below.
So what we needed was some middle ground, a period where the angle is large enough such that a sufficient amount of Earth is illuminated, but not so large that the Sun is too close to the camera's field of view.
With the help of JPL's HORIZONS solar system ephemerides computation service we were able to work out that the solid angle of the illuminated fraction of Earth was at its maximum on 21 June this year. We then tried to find an observation opportunity as close to this date as possible.
To keep the Sun as far from the camera's field of view as possible, it was decided we would not aim to have the Earth in the centre of the image, but instead offset it by 10 degrees.
The next issue we encountered was the need to tell the spacecraft to point VMC at Earth.
On Mars Express, our instrument platform is fixed to the spacecraft, so to point our instruments at a particular spot we have to turn and point the entire spacecraft.
To determine where we point the spacecraft, first the instrument teams have to tell our Science Planning team based at ESAC, in Spain, where they want their instruments to point and when. This is processed by the science planners and then sent here to ESOC to the Mars Express mission planning team.
Our mission planning system takes in all of the pointing requests that our science planners have sent, analyses them to check for critical factors like power consumption, illumination of the solar arrays and data generation as well as other constraints and requirements.
If all checks are OK, one of the outputs is a list containing an entire month's set of spacecraft pointings.
To fit in with this process, we generated a single new VMC 'Earth' pointing by using a software tool we developed ourselves. This new pointing was then added to the monthly list sent by the science planners and processed and checked by the mission planning system.
This set of spacecraft pointings is then sent off to the flight dynamics team here at ESOC. They are able to determine the spacecraft's exact position at any point in time.
Combining this information and knowledge of the spacecraft layout and the position of each instrument, they are able to calculate the orientation the spacecraft must have for it to point a specific instrument toward its desired target.
These calculations are performed for an entire month of observations, while checking that the pointings do not violate any safety constraints. Implementing, maintaining, enforcing and providing strict constraints protects delicate optics and sensors against the perils of excessive heating and over-illumination by the Sun.
As with all spacecraft pointings, our custom Earth pointing had to pass these strict tests for us to be permitted to attempt the observation.
After flight dynamics completed their analysis, the results were then returned back to mission planning, where they can be converted into sets of commands for the spacecraft's attitude and orbit control system.
Once these commands are generated they are checked by the mission planners and the flight control team before being uplinked to Mars Express (once per week).
At this point, the observation has been scheduled, the pointing commands have been generated and checked and up-linked to the spacecraft and the final stage was to then create the command sequence to operate the camera.
This involves telling it when to switch on, how many images to take, the exposure settings to use and when to switch off – and to tell the on-board computer to generate a report of the amount of data the observation produced to enable us to keep track of the volume of stored data on board the spacecraft.
As we expected Earth to be faint, and to maximise our chances of getting a decent image, we decided to use the same settings as our Jupiter pictures, as they contained a wide range exposures from 30 seconds down to 2 seconds.
Once this is all on board the spacecraft, we then have to wait until the images are taken and then down-linked, where we can then run them through our processing tools.
So after all that, here it is.. the Earth, at a distance of 150 031 705 km taken on 3 July 2014 at 15:52 CET from orbit around Mars.
The bright patches you can see are sunlight hitting the top of the recess VMC sits in and then being reflected off the camera lens.
However, on the 2-second exposure, this glare is reduced sufficiently to leave Earth clearly visible in the middle left of the image (Note: the colours here are the result of the processing tool we run the VMC images through).
At first glance it doesn't look like a particularly exciting photo. Some lens flare and a small faint dot are visible.
However, remember: there are 7 billion people living on that small faint dot!
This quote from Carl Sagan describing the famous Voyager 1 photo 'pale blue dot' sums it up rather nicely:
Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there.
As usual, these images along with every other photo VMC has taken are available on our flickr channel.
Editor's note: Thanks to Simon Wood and the entire MEX team for these excellent images and report.
Mars seen today
Excellent views of Mars acquired by the VMC today at 07:00 CEST (05:00 UTC), and downloaded within hours, transmitted to ESOC in Darmstadt, processed by the Mars Express team and... here it is! Thanks to the MEX team and Simon Wood.
Hot on the heels of yesterday's images, here are today's set fresh off the spacecraft; again we see possible clouds/dust round the poles.
These images were taken at an altitude of 9900 km above the surface at 07:00 CEST (5:00 UTC) this morning and transmitted back to Earth at 13:15 CEST (11:15 UTC).
This rapid turn around is in part due to the current Earth - Mars distance being 'only' 123 336 112 km. At this distance it only takes 6 mins 51 seconds for signals travel from the spacecraft to Earth. (As we get further away this can increase to up to 25 minutes.)
Propagation delay display on the Mars Express Mission Control System
This proximity gives us higher data transmission rates, which mean we can transmit more of the stored data from the science instruments – and thus occasionally leaves us with spare data downlink capacity in some of our ground station passes. This spare capacity enables us to schedule the VMC data dumps much closer to the VMC observations.
Continuing from yesterday's highlighting of the Phoenix lander, here we have marked the landing site of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover B - Opportunity.
Opportunity is a fellow seasoned Martian explorer; it was launched only 5 days after Mars Express on 7 June 2003, landing on 25 January 2004 – one month after we entered Martian orbit.
Its landing site is located in the Meridiani Planum, an area of interest due to concentrations of the mineral Hematite, which on Earth is often formed in the presence of water.
With the possibility of water-formed minerals located here, it is not surprising that this is an area also investigated by our mineralogical Spectrometer OMEGA and our high resolution camera HRSC.
As with Phoenix, its sister rover Spirit and, currently, Curiosity, Mars Express has performed communication activities with Opportunity over the years, including the relay of the image above from the surface back to Earth.
As usual, the full set of this morning's images is available in Flickr.
Mars seen yesterday
Today's post contributed by Mars Express operations engineer Simon Wood – Ed.
Here in our latest Mars Webcam images taken yesterday, 4 June, we have not only captured more shots of the northern polar cap and what seems to be further dust/cloud formations around the pole, we have also snapped some of the biggest geological features on the planet.
In this image, we have all three volcanoes that make up the Tharsis mountains.
These three volcanoes dwarf anything found on Earth, ranging from 14 to 18 km in height. To put this into perspective, the tallest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which only reaches 9 km above the ocean floor.
However, the Tharsis mountains are themselves dwarfed by the largest volcano on the Red Planet (and indeed in the solar system), Olympus Mons, which has an approximate height of a staggering 25 km!
The favourable lighting conditions in yesterday's observation enabled the entire base of the volcano to be visible and if you look closely you can even make out the crater. Olympus Mons covers an area of around 300 000 square kms, which to give some indication of the scale, would cover most of France.
We also just see the edge of the 'Grand Canyon of Mars' the Valles Marineris running along the limb of the planet (hopefully we'll have more on that in a forthcoming observation).
And here's a very cool Valles Marineris fly-through video:
One further item we've tagged in our image is the landing site of NASA's Phoenix spacecraft, the first spacecraft to send back science data from the Martian poles.
In May 2008, Mars Express provided communication relay support to Phoenix using MELACOM, our UHF radio, recording its radio signal during the entry, descent and landing phase (just as we would later do for Curiosity in 2012).
Some further relay tests were performed once it was successfully on the surface, with our last contact completed on 31 May 2008.
As usual all the images are available on the VMC flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/esa_marswebcam/
Fabulous views of a snowy Red Planet
Recently, VMC has been busy looking out into the Solar System – imaging Phobos and Jupiter. But yesterday, the Mars Webcam returned to its nominal target. Mars.
In these latest images, we were at an altitude of around 9800 km above the planet, looking down on the northern pole.
Here, in one of the images we got back this morning, you can see we've captured not only a great shot of the polar cap but also (in the bottom of the image) we have Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, as well as what might to be cloud formations in the top right.
The full 28 image set (complete with what may be further cloud formations close to the pole) is available on our Flickr channel. The change in brightness from image to image is simply due to the the three different exposure settings that were used.
We have more VMC observations scheduled over the next few months and we'll post updates here on the blog and Flickr as we get them.
Our webcam views the Universe
A couple weeks, ago we ran an additional test of our long exposure settings on VMC. This time, we we upped the image exposure to 30 seconds.
Just like with our Phobos images, its best to have a target to look at and for this test we used Jupiter.
We found that, not only was Jupiter visible on just a 2-second exposure, but on the longer ones Jupiter was also visible together with the two twins of Gemini, Pollux and Castor.
So in this set we have our first image of a planet other than Mars and also our first confirmed imaging of stars!
The full image set along with all our other VMC images are in our Flickr channel.
Mars webcam spots Phobos
It's been quiet on the VMC front over the last few months, but the good news is that our next VMC observation is scheduled for mid-May. However, don't think we haven't been busy behind the scenes in the meantime!
In the summer of 2013, with the prospect of comets ISON and Siding Spring passing by Mars over the next 12 months, we wanted to have the ability to image them with VMC (if we got the opportunity). VMC has two operating modes: line mode and frame mode; the main difference between these is the image exposure times that can be set.
Line mode gives a maximum exposure of 200 millisseconds, and frame mode ranges from 200 milliseconds up to 95 seconds. The original on-board control procedure (i.e software commands) that operates VMC was only able to use line mode. This was a deliberate decision when the procedure was created to keep it as simple as possible, and 200ms is more than adequate for taking pictures of a well-illuminated Martian surface.
However, attempting to capture something as faint as a comet with a 200ms exposure on a 640x480 camera with no fancy optics was clearly going to be impossible. Thus the team decided this would be a good opportunity to perform a software upgrade that would enable us to operate VMC in both modes. Following a redesign of the algorithm, recoding and a period of validation against the spacecraft simulator, the upgraded procedure was uploaded to Mars Express. Once on board, the final step was to use it operationally.
A set of test images would be have to be taken and for this we needed a suitable target. The target had to be something bright enough that we stood a chance of imaging it but faint enough that we would likely be unable to see it on a short exposure. This was tricky given the limited number of test opportunities we had, but to our surprise and delight we discovered that Mars moon Phobos would pass through our field of view during the last of the slots we had identified .
Given that the last time long exposures were used on VMC was in 2007 (then just as a test to check it still worked) we had little information to go on regarding what exposure settings to use. The choice was further complicated by only having enough time to take 3 images.
In the end we decided on a large spread with 13-second, 6-second and 2-second exposures, as these would give us a good chance of capturing Phobos whilst also allowing us to assess the performance of the camera.
It was a tense wait to get the images back and see if all our work had paid off. Turned out we needn't have worried: not only had the upgraded software worked perfectly, but VMC had taken its first direct images of Phobos! We were absolutely thrilled with the results.
We estimate that we were approximately 8000 km away from Phobos when the images were taken (the increase in size/brightness is due to the different exposure times used). The 13-second and the 6-second images are a little over exposed (the glow in the bottom of the images is the light from the day side of Mars). In the final image (a 2-second exposure) it is possible to get some indication of the overall shape of the Martian moon. Putting all images together in an animation, Phobos can be seen moving across the field of view.
Unfortunately, our follow up observation of ISON did not go as well as we'd hoped. In the end, it was not as bright as originally expected and simply too faint to detect even with longer exposure times. All was not lost though, as we were left with these great shots of Phobos and new and proven imaging opportunities for VMC!

Minnesota duck hunting: DNR calls 2012 a success
- 14 January //
- Posted in Outdoors Now //
- Tags : ducks, geese, hunting, waterfowl
- Comments Off
Harvest estimates won't be out until the summer, but the Minnesota Department of natural Resources is calling the 2012 duck hunting season a success, based almost entirely on anecdotal reports. The agency is predicting a slight increase in the number of ducks killed compared to 2011.
The drought, early crop harvest and addition of a third duck hunting zone might have helped hunters, but that same drought is cause for concern looking ahead.
Critics of the DNR's season structures – including earlier and earlier openers — will contend all we're doing is shooting our homegrown birds — mallards, wood ducks and teal — while habitat is disappearing too fast to sustain them and not enough is being done to create better habitat to attract migrants.
Meanwhile, license sales held steady.
Here's the summary from the DNR:
2012: A good season for waterfowlers
As Minnesota waterfowl experts begin planning for the 2013 hunting season they are pleased with a memorable 2012.
Minnesota duck hunting: Weekly statewide report
- 25 October //
- Posted in Outdoors Now //
- Tags : ducks, geese, hunting, waterfowl

Click here for the DNR's weekly report from throughout the state.
Here's the accompanying narrative from Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the Minnesota DNR:
Duck hunting remained fair to good the past week and should be good over the next few days with the cold front and "ducky" conditions right now. Expect to see ice on many wetlands and shallows lakes in the northern ½ of MN the next few days with the forecast low temps.
With the World Series going on, I'll modify a famous baseball quote by Ernie Banks. He said "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame. Let's play two", expressing his desire to play a doubleheader each and every day because of his sheer love for the game.
Looking at the weather outside, I'll say "It's a beautiful afternoon for a duck hunt. I'll see you in the marsh".

Minnesota duck hunting: Southern zone opens, weekly report
- 11 October //

- Tags : ducks, hunting, waterfowl
- Comments Off
On Saturday, the southern zone of Minnesota re-opens for waterfowl hunting, meaning the whole state is once again open.
And diver season is coming on.
Below is Steve Cordts' preface to his weekly migration report. Cordts is the Minnesota DNR's waterfowl specialist.
Click here for a .pdf of the report.
Duck hunting should be good this weekend, especially in the South zone when the season re-opens on Saturday. There are still plenty of hours in the day to pursue both ducks and those gaudy colored pheasants.
I end up spending more time trying to ID pictures of ducks for hunters now than I used to (I blame cell phone cameras). Most tend to be unusual, oddball ducks, hybrids, or some type of domestic cross. More often than not, I can't give them a positive ID. But, this week ID'd 3 birds for hunters:
Minnesota duck hunting: Weekend outlook as central zone re-opens
- 4 October //
- Posted in Outdoors Now //
- Tags : ducks, hunting, waterfowl
- Comments Off
Minnesota duck hunting in the central zone resumes Saturday, following five days of rest for the birds and a barrage of new weather. The south zone — Generally south of U.S. 212 (I-494 in west metro, I-94 east of there — remains CLOSED and will re-open Saturday, Oct. 13.
Cordt's message: "I tried to take some photos this AM of some ducks, decoys, dog, etc. but it's hard to take photos during a blizzard!! I didn't get to enjoy a single duck hunt in the snow in MN last fall so it was overdue, even though it's still early October. The outlook the next few days is good in the north duck zone and on Saturday when the Central duck zone re-opens.
Stay safe (I pulled a truck out of the ditch on the way home due to the icy roads) and see you in the marsh."

Minnesota duck hunting takes a break in south and central zones
- 1 October //
- Posted in Outdoors Now //
- Tags : ducks, geese, waterfowl
- Comments Off
The marshes and swamps of central and southern Minnesota should fall quiet today.
Waterfowl hunting is prohibited in the southern two-thirds of the state, part of a staggered schedule the state has developed over the last few years to open the season earlier but extend it through Thanksgiving, or likely ice-up.
This includes hunting for ducks and geese, whether over water or land.
Not everyone is aware; DNR officials reported a hunting party arrived this morning at Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area in the north metro. They were promptly sent packing.
A map of the zones and their dates is contained in the waterfowl hunting manual, but here's how it breaks down like this:
North zone: Generally north of MN 210: Season still open, will stay open thru Nov. 20
Central zone: Generally south of MN 210, north of U.S. 212 (I-494 in west metro, I-94 east of there): CLOSED, will re-open Saturday, Oct. 6.
South zone: Generally south of U.S. 212(I-494 in west metro, I-94 east of there): CLOSED, will re-open Saturday, Oct. 13.

Minnesota ranchers allowed on RIM lands
- 1 August //
- Posted in Outdoors Now //
- Tags : ducks, pheasants
- Comments Off
Ranchers will be allowed to let their cattle loose on private Minnesota lands with state conservation easements , officials announced Wednesday afternoon.
The move to allow haying and grazing on Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) lands in 70 counties between now and Sept. 30 is in response to requests by ranchers in the midst of drought gripping about half the state.
The announcement from the state Board of Soil and Water Resources follows announcements last week by federal officials to open up lands with conservation easements under the federal Conservation Reserve Program and Wetland Reserve Program.
There are some 250,000 acres of private land with RIM conservation easements funded through state bonding, Legacy Amendment grants and other means. BWSR administers the program. These are not state-owned RIM lands manged by the Department of Natural Resources funded by critical habitat license plate sales.
Minnesota duck hunting: More hunters, more birds shot
- 31 July //

- Comments Off
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is declaring victory in its attempts to resuscitate waterfowling.
This just out from the DNR:
Waterfowl hunters and harvest increase from 2010
Minnesota hunters bagged more ducks and Canada geese in 2011 than in 2010 and more waterfowl hunters took to the field, too, reversing a downward trend, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
"The results are in and the numbers moved in a good direction," said Dennis Simon, DNR wildlife section chief. "Duck hunter numbers and success were up, resulting in an increased harvest from 2010."
Simon said new data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also showed that Minnesota ranked first in the nation in Canada goose harvest and second in the number of active waterfowl hunters.

V911 Trim Problems
Either I've got a bad one or I'm not able to correctly trim this turkey or I have no real clue what I'm doing...
Probably a bit of all three I guess. I've gone through about 4 flight attempts and I haven't been able to keep her in the air for any longer than about 4-5 seconds before I have to kill throttle and let her drop to the carpet because she's drifting or spinning or going out of control. When I give it a little throttle she will start to skim along the floor backwards and to the left. I've tried adjusting trim (not 100% sure which ones) but the backwards things never completely goes away. The few times I've had it in the air and tried to turn left (spin left) it will often spin left fast, lose altitude and backup very fast. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Surely I'm not that bad going from 3 channel to 4 channel. I'm not trying to do loops around the living room just want to get it into a stable hoover for now. Please help. I've included a diagram of the TX so that (since I don't know all the lingo it may make it easier to help the slow guy out). * I even moved the linkage to the swashplate from the outer holes to the inner holes, seems like I read somewhere that the inner holes will make it more stable) If I can't figure this out, I'll have a slightly used V911 for sale soon. One more thing, sometimes there's a noticable wobble, shutter to it. Don't know if that helps either. thanks Ken |
Jan 05, 2012, 09:17 PM | |
Dibs, Ken.
Ken, you could consult the trimming tutorial in section 4 of this other thread. It's for a different but similar helicopter, but the concept is the same. |

Has anyone experienced this problem? I will be on the phone mid sentence and see a flashing light out tbe corner of my eye. I pull the phone away from my face to see what is going on. When it makes up its mind it will let me see the screen instead of black I have already sent 4 text messages and 3 emails (yes it does both) and has opened several web pages. This is my 3rd S4 since black Friday and I am getting very frustrated. I have tried Sprint technical support but they look at me lime I have done lost my ever lovin mind and the stupid think will not do it again.

Haa.... haa It seems that this phone is giving you hell of a trouble, But truly I am not getting what's happening with you does the screen keep on blinking while you were in the call or something else???? Assuming that your screen is keep on flashing while you are in the call I would say try clearing the front sensor, this is happening with my phone too but once I changes the laminated sheet and cleaned my phone It again started working fine.

Notebook: Arizona native Jordan should feel a rush this week
Posted by Rob Moseley
From today's editions:
The last time Oregon played at Arizona, two falls ago, Dion Jordan was a redshirt freshman tight end who didn't make it off the bench.
This week, the UO junior from Chandler, Ariz., now a defensive end, will be a starter when No. 10 Oregon goes on the road to face the Wildcats at 7:21 p.m. Saturday.
"I'm excited," said Jordan, "It's going to be a real good experience."
Jordan played in his home state during the 2010 regular season, recording his first career sack at Arizona State. In the BCS National Championship game, played in Glendale, Ariz., Jordan finished with four tackles, one for loss.
He'll be looking to make a big impact this week as one of the Ducks' primary pass rushers, against an Arizona offense that ranks fifth nationally in passing. The Wildcats have thrown 132 passes through three games, and rushed 64 times — which includes seven sacks — by far the biggest play-calling disparity in the Pac-12 so far.
"They're putting the ball up in the air, so they're going to give the front people time to get to the quarterback, and the back end a chance to make plays," Jordan said. "It's about working together — if the front gets pressure it's easier to make picks; if they're covering good in the back end, it's easier to get sacks."
Jordan moved to defense in 2010 and emerged as a force in the spring of this year, playing strong-side defensive end in place of the injured Terrell Turner. With Turner back healthy for the fall, Jordan moved over to the Ducks' drop-end position, replacing graduated starter Kenny Rowe and playing ahead of Rowe's backup last season, senior Brandon Hanna, who himself had a strong spring.
Jordan has eight tackles through three games, and his 1.5 tackles for loss is the most among Oregon's current defensive starters.
"I feel like we've done pretty well," Jordan said. "We've got to stop the run a little better, but other than that I feel like we've done pretty well." Click here for the complete notebook.
The Register-Guard doesn't necessarily condone the comments here, nor does it review every post.

duckdoc, Hood River
Ok, DJ, its time to pin your ears back and eat some QB this Saturday. Would be great to see the D-line really begin to assert itself this week and make life uncomfortable for Nick Foles. Sacks and TFLs will be a critical part of stopping Zona.
GO Ducks!!
Josh, Tempe
The next time Dion Jordan makes an impact on the football field will be the first.
Can't defend the run? Check
Doesn't rush the passer? Check
Doesn't do anything on the zone drop? Check -
Saturday's contest might be the perfect fit for Dion to have his "breakout game". His length and speed might bode well for the Ducks in their attempt to disrupt Arizona's passing attack, and Nick Foles in particular. We've all seen the potential; now the arena might be right for some "Dion Time".
ChuckyDuck, San Diego, CA
Very nice informative update Rob. Enjoyed the nuggets about LT's dad and the Band of Brothers connection- was unaware of that. Another very classy activity by the coaching staff.
Terrysheldon, Eugene
Real classy, Josh. Spoiled entitled fan. Check.
James Kennedy, The Arizona Desert
The next time Josh in Tempe makes a valid point on a blog will be the first.
Josh has about as much football acumen as a soiled diaper? Check.
pinfeathers, Couv
JK, too funny. Great "back atcha".
M Clark
Scott S in SW
M Clark: Um, that sounds like an NCAA rules violation. (Short version of the NCAA rulebook: offering gifts to players is bad.) Also, Dion will be busy playing, so he probably can't sit with you. Maybe just cheer extra loud instead?
m clark
not offering a free ticket…but as I believe I read in the article he was trying to figure out how many tickets he needed to broker for his friends and family.
bought three tickets and one family member has to work so I have an additional one…
josh, he did some things last yr, but like the rest of D line, has been absent so far this season
time for Jordan to make a few plays this week: check
d-line would be in even worse shape without him
Judy Patsch, Rock Island Illinois
Hopefully the Arizona native returning home will have a better game than the native Texans did in Dallas…sometimes people try too hard to impress the home folk and while the heart is there, the result isn't. That's a lot of pressure to put on 19, 20 year olds especially if its a one time only chance.

The Second Republic
The history of the Second Republic falls into four distinct phases: (1) the Provisional Government, which lasted until the religious issue forced its resignation in October 1931, (2) the governments of the Left Republicans and Socialists, which ruled from October 1931 and were defeated in the elections of November 1933, (3) the conservative government of the Radical Republicans and the Roman Catholic right from November 1933 to February 1936, which was punctuated by the revolution of October 1934 and ended with the electoral victory of the Popular Front in February 1936, and (4) the government of the Popular Front and "the descent into violence" that culminated in the military uprising of July 1936.
The Provisional Government was a coalition government presided over by Niceto Alcalá Zamora, a former monarchist converted to republicanism, whose Catholicism reassured moderate opinion. Another conservative Catholic, Miguel Maura, was minister of the interior. The coalition included all the groups represented at San Sebastián: Lerroux's Radicals, the Catalan left, the Socialists, and the Left Republicans dominated by Manuel Azaña y Díaz.
The elections to the Constituent Cortes strengthened the Socialists and Left Republicans and thus upset the parliamentary balance between moderate Catholic Republicans and the left. The left imprinted its views on the constitution, especially its religious clauses. Historically conditioned anticlericalism had already led the government to tolerate an outburst of church burning (May 1931). The Socialists and Left Republicans inserted in the constitution an attack on religious education and the regular orders, which forced the resignation of Alcalá Zamora and Maura.
This direct and ill-advised clash with Catholic sentiment provided a base for the formation of a right-wing party devoted to the reversal of the church settlement. This party, established by the Catholic politician José María Gil Robles, was known as Acción Popular and became the main component of the right-wing electoral grouping, the Spanish Confederation of Autonomous Rights (Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas; CEDA). The left viewed CEDA's "accidentalism" (the doctrine that forms of government are irrelevant provided the church can fulfill its mission) as suspect, and these suspicions were only exacerbated by a proclivity among Gil Robles's followers, especially the youth wing, for fascist styles.
From October 1931 the government, with Azaña as premier, was controlled by Left Republicans and Socialists, with the Catholic right, the Basque Catholics, the Navarrese Carlists, and Lerroux's Radicals in opposition. Azaña aimed to create a modern democracy; labour legislation would be the work of the Socialists, with the UGT leader, Francisco Largo Caballero, as minister of labour.
In April 1931 there was a danger that Catalonia might declare its independence within a federal state. Overcoming conservative Republican opposition to limited home rule under the Generalitat, which was controlled by the Catalan left (Esquerra) under Lluis Companys, Azaña was able to settle the Catalan question—perhaps his greatest achievement. Largo Caballero's legislation provided labour with a strong negotiating position but could not in itself mitigate the mounting unemployment, which was particularly serious in the latifundios of the southwest. Because new machinery for the settlement of labour disputes was dominated by the UGT, it was opposed by the CNT, now influenced by the extreme revolutionary apoliticism of an anarchist group, the Iberian Anarchist Federation (Federación Anarquista Ibérica; FAI). Violent strikes were frequent.
Sedition from the right came to a head in General José Sanjurjo's pronunciamiento in Sevilla (August 10, 1932). Politically more dangerous than Sanjurjo's abortive coup, however, were the steady growth of Gil Robles's Acción Popular and the Socialists' desertion of the Azaña coalition, as Largo Caballero, influenced by increasing discontent with the slow pace of reform among Socialists, wearied of cooperation with "bourgeois" parties. In the elections of November 1933, therefore, the left was divided and the right relatively united behind CEDA. Given an electoral law that favoured electoral coalitions, the CEDA and Lerroux's Radicals, now a respectable middle-class party, triumphed. Although the CEDA had more seats than any other party, President Alcalá Zamora refused to call on Gil Robles to form a government and turned instead to Lerroux, who was unable to govern without the support of Gil Robles. With power in sight, Gil Robles accentuated his legalism, to the distaste of the militant monarchists among his supporters.
The election defeat further radicalized the Socialists, especially Largo Caballero, who was influenced by Luis Araquistaín, Spain's ambassador in Berlin when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933. Throughout 1934 the Socialists threatened an uprising should the CEDA, which they saw as a clearly fascist party, be invited to join the cabinet.
When four members of CEDA entered Lerroux's government in October 1934, the Socialists staged the revolution they had been threatening. Poorly planned, it was a total failure everywhere except the coalfields of Asturias, where the failure of the Republic to bring any improvement to their situation had a particularly radicalizing effect on the miners there. Revolutionary councils were established in the mining districts of Asturias, where there was considerable destruction of property. In Barcelona the revolution was led by Catalan nationalists, who believed autonomy was imperiled by the actions of the Madrid government in overruling an agrarian law passed by the Generalitat. Unsupported by the CNT, the revolution was quickly suppressed.
The October Revolution of 1934 was the dividing point in the Second Republic. The Socialists, fearing the fate of their Austrian and German brothers, had revolted against a legal government and thereby established in the minds of the right the fear of a "Red" rebellion. In the subsequent repression by the army lay the emotional origins of the Popular Front against "fascism"—a re-creation of the Azaña coalition of Left Republicans and Socialists.
When the Radicals collapsed in late 1935 following a series of scandals, Alcalá Zamora dissolved parliament and called new elections for February 1936. The campaign was violent, and the Popular Front won by a narrow majority. Spain was politically polarized, and this division intensified. The Popular Front government was exclusively Republican. Under Largo Caballero's leadership, the left Socialists put increasing pressure on the government, using revolutionary language if not intending revolution, and agricultural workers in the south and west staged a number of land seizures. Largo Caballero's revolutionary rhetoric concealed his hope that the orthodox Republicans could be eased from power, leaving the field open to a pure Socialist government, which his followers, using the language of Russian Communist Party founder and revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, chose to call the "dictatorship of the proletariat."
Just as the fears of the "fascism" of the right justified the defensive reaction of the Socialists, so the right argued that the Republican government was a prisoner of the revolutionary left. The Falange, a fascist party founded in 1933 by José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the son of the former dictator, grew significantly as the failure of Gil Robles's legalist strategy became clear. The Falange was primarily responsible for the marked increase in political street violence in the months after the 1936 election. Conservatives rallied behind the right-wing National Front, which openly appealed to the military to save Spain from Marxism.
The army played a decisive role. By the early summer of 1936 a young officers' conspiracy was backed by Generals Emilio Mola, Manuel Goded, and, finally, Francisco Franco. The murder of José Calvo Sotelo, the leader of the extreme right, with the connivance of government security forces, was the final outrage for the right and the army.

Ye I realized I also calculated using end of June, not June 1st.
So I was way over. : /
I'm king of impressed with JPM-F.
It's not going to pay it's first dividend until 6/1 which is still pretty far away.
Something to keep in mind if you guys didn't know that.
But they should pro-rate the dividend back to Feb 4th I think, so should be around 60c or so for the first dividend.
Anyhow I wasn't sure if it would just stay flat(ish) for a while or trend up since the dividend is still a ways out.
I guess it's not ironic JMI has evaporated the same amount of share holder equity as ARR of it's highs.
ARR: $8 - $3 and change.
Jeffrey Zimmer is a fricken #$%$.
That his his 3rd mortgage reit that pays him fatty dollars while train wrecking people's equity.
ARR is a mess.
I remember when I used to flip that stock in the $7 to $8 range.
They evaporated so much share holder value. It's Ridiculous.
CHSCM is an awesome price turn in one week for a prefy! Nice job.
off those lows
Y,e wow on that one. The (N) prefy has rallied good of those lows to.
Ye got about half my order filled on IB so far at 24.95.
Thanks for posting that Owen!
I wonder if we are in for some minor interst rate shock here on preferred.10 year has been rising quite a bit off it's recent low.
I was looking at JPQMP vs HUSI-H (25.27) vs BAC-Y (25.21).
Very hard to tell how much upside there is since HUSI-H and BAC-Y have a slightly higher yield so in theory they should price slightly higher.
JPM-CHASE should be a more secure company. You know to big to fail. : )
I Bought some JPQMP in my E*trade.
I'm willing to toss the dice on it.
It does show up as of today in IB, but I still can't buy it in IB.
Weird.. I opened a ticket with IB.
They said they don't support Grey Market tickers/trading.
Which is kind of shocking to me since they are a hard core trader based brokerage.
I'll throw in an order through E*trade tomorrow.
Frustrating.. E*trade see's it no problem. Grrr.
#$%$ is going on with IB.
Either of you using Interactive Brokers?
I have OTC selected, but I can't find this one.
Quantum show this under "other OTC", so I'm also not sure if OTC covers that on Interactive Brokers??
: /
I like CHS Owen as a preferred because it's not a bank.
I'm holding CHSCN in my main for dividends.
Most of my other preferred shares are banks (Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, etc).
It's nice to be able to get something not banking related.
Reits are the other one that have pushed a lot of preferred in the last year or two, but I don't have any mreit preferred stock now.
luvpizzasj, I've been trying to sort out the interest rate issue.
With Europe, I'm not worried about the long.
If the fed raises the short a bit, is that going to inpact prefered stocks?
I can't find any data on this.
Just as an example, lets say the fed short rate is rased to 1%.
How does that effect my prefy paying 7% ??
The whole interest rate scenario has been a bit of a worry for me.
But at least with Europe doing QE recently.. I think global rates on the long will stay low.
Weird..bkmrp isn't showing up yet in interactive brokers.
It gives me some cryptic message when I try to pull it up and no chart comes up.
Ye thanks for all the prefy talk this week.
I grabbed HUSI-H , CHSCL , and CHSCN earlier in the week.
Been slammed at work so no time to trade today or yesterday.
Will start unwinding them Monday unless they all tank.
Thanks Reik. Ye interesting action there on husi-h.
Will keep an eye on it Tuesday when the market re-opens.
It's also probably not a bad one just to hold for a while for stable income since it qualifies for 15% tax rate.
6.5% yield on it aint' great, but bonds aren't doing so hot right now so probably better than bonds for stable income.
Ask right now is 25.67 (vs bid 25.46).
Not getting it for 25.30 range at the moment.

This is Tsukamoto.
As a part of the development team, to catch a cold now would be pretty awful. So I'm being very careful about my health.
I'd like to present the network mode, which has been powered up quite a bit from the last time.
We'll be talking with Taguchi who appeared on the blog the last time, and also bringing in the person in charge of the system. So lets really get in-depth about the network mode!
Well then, let's meet our new guest.
I'm Shiozaki, a game designer.
I work on all the general systems outside of the actual fighting, for both this title and the last one.
