I am wondering if my leopold 3x9 vari ll is good enough to use on my first elk hunt? I will be shooting a 30.06 and a 180 grain nosler bullet.Should I get a newer and stronger scope?And if so recommendation? Any oppinions on my bullet choice also?
Why do you think that it is outdated? That scope will shoot just as well as any of the newer ones on the market for twice the price. I have the same scope of a 7mm Remington mag for 35 years and have never thought about replacing it. Every time that I think that there is a problem with the scope I'll take it to the range and find out it was just me.
Well if I'm makin a long shot it doesn't magnify my target at a distance and its hard to judge the distance and try to allow for drop and distance to make sure I hit it and not just wound it.
Shooting a 06 with a 180 grain bullet you shouldn't be shooting past 300 yards anyway. That bullet looses velosity and drops like a rock after that.
I agree 30.06 will drop alot,but that depends on barrel length,temperature and elevation.Higher elevation shots you get less bullet drop than at sea level.Only thing is you will need about a yard of hold over to make the shot over 500 yards.
Let's take the best case sernario for a 06 fired out of a 24" barrel with a hand loaded 180 gr Nosler Partition with a top speed of 2800 fps. Now you won't get 2800 fps but will get close. Also figure a 200 yard zero.
300 yards you are down 8" at 2274 fps with 2068 ft-lbs of energy
400 yards you are down 22" at 2114 fps with 1787 ft-lbs of energy
500 yards you are down 45" at 1962 fps with 1538 ft-lbs of energy
600 yards you are down 75" at 1816 fps with 1318 ft-lbs of energy
Now if you are using a 100 yard zero the drop is
200 yards you are down 3 1/2"
300 yards you are down 13"
400 yards you are down 29"
500 yards you are down 53"
600 yards you are diown 86"
While the 06 is a fine long range target rifle in the right hands the 180 grain bullet is not what you would want to use but drop it down to a 168 the the performance comes right up. But if you are on a cow elk hunt you should be able to get a shot under 200 yards.
Is yer figures at sea level? I will be hunting above 6000 feet.And bullet drop for every 1000 feet above 6000 is .5 inch at 500 yards.I wonder about the bullet speed at that distance?Probably won't drop as fast as at sea level.
I am wondering if my leopold 3x9 vari ll is good enough to use on my first elk hunt? I will be shooting a 30.06 and a 180 grain nosler bullet.Should I get a newer and stronger scope?And if so recommendation? Any oppinions on my bullet choice also?
If you think otherwise then you have sadly become the victim of marketing hype. Unless it's broken or defective I'd say that Vari II is more than good enough for elk hunting. The 3-9X power is more than enough for biggame. I use 5X power myself for all biggame. As far as bullets go. In .30-06 anything from 150 grains to 180 grains is plenty capable. The .30-06 in it's various loadings is plenty capable of taking any game animal in the world.
You are fine. I dream of having a leupold on top of every one of my rifles. Just practice a bunch and go out there and hammer em. The others are right though, that is not the best long range load for the ought 6
The most important thing is knowing your limitations. If you go out lobbing bullets and hope for the best you can almost guarantee the worst. Your scope should be more than enough and much more than a lot of guys have.

OBE for Professor Golding
24 March 2013
Met Office Deputy Director of Weather Science, Professor Brian Golding, was awarded an OBE in the New Year's Honours.
After four decades of working in meteorology, Professor Golding is a world-recognised expert in hydro-meteorology and numerical weather prediction.
For the last decade he has led the research and development of our operational forecasting capabilities. He has directed significant scientific and technological progress, including the development of a weather forecast model that covers the UK at a very high resolution, predicting small-scale weather such as thunderstorms, heavy rain and snow, in great detail.
Professor Golding said: "I think this honour recognises the work that has been done in the field of numerical weather prediction over the last few decades, which has been one of the great success stories in science. Improved forecasting accuracy has made a huge difference to lives around the world, helping to safeguard life and property, as well as make infrastructure more resilient to the weather. I'm proud to have played a small part in that."

Truck drivers are a constant presence on the Nation's highways and interstates. They deliver everything from automobiles to canned food. Firms of all kinds rely on trucks to pick up and deliver goods because no other form of transportation can deliver goods door-to-door. Even if some goods travel most of the way by ship, train, or airplane, almost everything is carried by trucks at some point in its journey.
Before leaving the terminal or warehouse, truck drivers check the fuel level and oil in their trucks. They also inspect the trucks to make sure that the brakes, windshield wipers, and lights are working and that a fire extinguisher, flares, and other safety equipment are aboard and in working order. Drivers make sure their cargo is secure and adjust the mirrors so that both sides of the truck are visible from the driver's seat. Drivers report equipment that is inoperable, missing, or loaded improperly to the dispatcher.
Once under way, drivers must be alert in order to prevent accidents. Drivers can see farther down the road because large trucks seat them higher off the ground than other vehicles. This allows them to see the road ahead and select lanes that are moving more smoothly as well as giving them warning of any dangerous road conditions ahead of them.
The duration of runs vary according to the types of cargo and the destinations. Local drivers may provide daily service for a specific route or region, while other drivers make longer, intercity and interstate deliveries. Interstate and intercity cargo tends to vary from job to job more than local cargo. A driver's responsibilities and assignments change according to the type of loads transported and their vehicle's size.
New technologies are changing the way truck drivers work, especially long-distance truck drivers. Satellites and the Global Positioning System link many trucks with their company's headquarters. Troubleshooting information, directions, weather reports, and other important communications can be instantly relayed to the truck. Drivers can easily communicate with the dispatcher to discuss delivery schedules and courses of action in the event of mechanical problems. The satellite link also allows the dispatcher to track the truck's location, fuel consumption, and engine performance. Some drivers also work with computerized inventory tracking equipment. It is important for the producer, warehouse, and customer to know their product's location at all times so they can maintain a high quality of service.
Heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers operate trucks or vans with a capacity of at least 26,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). They transport goods including cars, livestock, and other materials in liquid, loose, or packaged form. Many routes are from city to city and cover long distances. Some companies use two drivers on very long runsone drives while the other sleeps in a berth behind the cab. These "sleeper" runs can last for days, or even weeks. Trucks on sleeper runs typically stop only for fuel, food, loading, and unloading.
Some heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers who have regular runs transport freight to the same city on a regular basis. Other drivers perform ad hoc runs because shippers request varying service to different cities every day.
The U.S. Department of Transportation requires that drivers keep a log of their activities, the condition of the truck, and the circumstances of any accidents.
Long-distance heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers spend most of their working time behind the wheel, but also may have to load or unload their cargo. This is especially common when drivers haul specialty cargo, because they may be the only ones at the destination familiar with procedures or certified to handle the materials. Auto-transport drivers, for example, position cars on the trailers at the manufacturing plant and remove them at the dealerships. When picking up or delivering furniture, drivers of long-distance moving vans hire local workers to help them load or unload.
Light or delivery services truck drivers operate vans and trucks weighing less than 26,000 pounds GVW. They pick up or deliver merchandise and packages within a specific area. This may include short "turnarounds" to deliver a shipment to a nearby city, pick up another loaded truck or van, and drive it back to their home base the same day. These services may require use of electronic delivery tracking systems to track the whereabouts of the merchandise or packages. Light or delivery services truck drivers usually load or unload the merchandise at the customer's place of business. They may have helpers if there are many deliveries to make during the day, or if the load requires heavy moving. Typically, before the driver arrives for work, material handlers load the trucks and arrange items for ease of delivery. Customers must sign receipts for goods and pay drivers the balance due on the merchandise if there is a cash-on-delivery arrangement. At the end of the day drivers turn in receipts, payments, records of deliveries made, and any reports on mechanical problems with their trucks.
Some local truck drivers have sales and customer service responsibilities. The primary responsibility of driver/sales workers, or route drivers, is to deliver and sell their firm's products over established routes or within an established territory. They sell goods such as food products, including restaurant takeout items, or pick up and deliver items such as laundry. Their response to customer complaints and requests can make the difference between a large order and a lost customer. Route drivers may also take orders and collect payments.
The duties of driver/sales workers vary according to their industry, the policies of their employer, and the emphasis placed on their sales responsibility. Most have wholesale routes that deliver to businesses and stores, rather than to homes. For example, wholesale bakery driver/sales workers deliver and arrange bread, cakes, rolls, and other baked goods on display racks in grocery stores. They estimate how many of each item to stock by paying close attention to what is selling. They may recommend changes in a store's order or encourage the manager to stock new bakery products. Laundries that rent linens, towels, work clothes, and other items employ driver/sales workers to visit businesses regularly to replace soiled laundry. Their duties also may include soliciting new customers along their sales route.
After completing their route, driver/sales workers place orders for their next deliveries based on product sales and customer requests.
Truck driving has become less physically demanding because most trucks now have more comfortable seats, better ventilation, and improved, ergonomically designed cabs. Although these changes make the work environment less taxing, driving for many hours at a stretch, loading and unloading cargo, and making many deliveries can be tiring. Local truck drivers, unlike long-distance drivers, usually return home in the evening. Some self-employed long-distance truck drivers who own and operate their trucks spend most of the year away from home.
Design improvements in newer trucks have reduced stress and increased the efficiency of long-distance drivers. Many newer trucks are equipped with refrigerators, televisions, and bunks.
The U.S. Department of Transportation governs work hours and other working conditions of truck drivers engaged in interstate commerce. A long-distance driver may drive for 11 hours and work for up to 14 hoursincluding driving and non-driving dutiesafter having 10 hours off-duty. A driver may not drive after having worked for 60 hours in the past 7 days or 70 hours in the past 8 days unless they have taken at least 34 consecutive hours off-duty. Most drivers are required to document their time in a logbook. Many drivers, particularly on long runs, work close to the maximum time permitted because they typically are compensated according to the number of miles or hours they drive. Drivers on long runs face boredom, loneliness, and fatigue. Drivers often travel nights, holidays, and weekends to avoid traffic delays.
Local truck drivers frequently work 50 or more hours a week. Drivers who handle food for chain grocery stores, produce markets, or bakeries typically work long hoursstarting late at night or early in the morning. Although most drivers have regular routes, some have different routes each day. Many local truck drivers, particularly driver/sales workers, load and unload their own trucks. This requires considerable lifting, carrying, and walking each day.
State and Federal regulations govern the qualifications and standards for truck drivers. All drivers must comply with Federal regulations and any State regulations that are in excess of those Federal requirements. Truck drivers must have a driver's license issued by the State in which they live, and most employers require a clean driving record. Drivers of trucks designed to carry 26,000 pounds or more—including most tractor-trailers, as well as bigger straight trucks—must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) from the State in which they live. All truck drivers who operate trucks transporting hazardous materials must obtain a CDL, regardless of truck size. In order to receive the hazardous materials endorsement a driver must be fingerprinted and submit to a criminal background check by the Transportation Security Administration. Federal regulations governing CDL administration allow for States to exempt farmers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, some military drivers, and snow and ice removers from the need for a CDL at the State's discretion. In many States a regular driver's license is sufficient for driving light trucks and vans.
To qualify for a CDL an applicant must have a clean driving record, pass a written test on rules and regulations, and then demonstrate that they can operate a commercial truck safely. A national database permanently records all driving violations committed by those with a CDL. A State will check these records and deny a CDL to those who already have a license suspended or revoked in another State. Licensed drivers must accompany trainees until they get their own CDL. A person may not hold more than one license at a time and must surrender any other licenses when a CDL is issued. Information on how to apply for a CDL may be obtained from State motor vehicle administrations.
Many States allow those who are as young as 18 years old to drive trucks within their borders. To drive a commercial vehicle between States one must be 21 years of age, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), which establishes minimum qualifications for truck drivers engaging in interstate commerce. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations—published by U.S. DOT—require drivers to be at least 21 years old and to pass a physical examination once every 2 years. The main physical requirements include good hearing, at least 20/40 vision with glasses or corrective lenses, and a 70-degree field of vision in each eye. Drivers may not be colorblind. Drivers must be able to hear a forced whisper in one ear at not less than 5 feet, with a hearing aid if needed. Drivers must have normal use of arms and legs and normal blood pressure. Drivers may not use any controlled substances, unless prescribed by a licensed physician. Persons with epilepsy or diabetes controlled by insulin are not permitted to be interstate truck drivers. Federal regulations also require employers to test their drivers for alcohol and drug use as a condition of employment, and require periodic random tests of the drivers while they are on duty. A driver must not have been convicted of a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle; a crime involving drugs; driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol; refusing to submit to an alcohol test required by a State or its implied consent laws or regulations; leaving the scene of a crime; or causing a fatality through negligent operation of a motor vehicle. All drivers must be able to read and speak English well enough to read road signs, prepare reports, and communicate with law enforcement officers and the public.
Many trucking operations have higher standards than those described here. Many firms require that drivers be at least 22 years old, be able to lift heavy objects, and have driven trucks for 3 to 5 years. Many prefer to hire high school graduates and require annual physical examinations. Companies have an economic incentive to hire less risky drivers, as good drivers use less fuel and cost less to insure.
Taking driver-training courses is a desirable method of preparing for truck driving jobs and for obtaining a CDL. High school courses in driver training and automotive mechanics also may be helpful. Many private and public vocational-technical schools offer tractor-trailer driver training programs. Students learn to maneuver large vehicles on crowded streets and in highway traffic. They also learn to inspect trucks and freight for compliance with regulations. Some programs provide only a limited amount of actual driving experience. Completion of a program does not guarantee a job. Those interested in attending a driving school should check with local trucking companies to make sure the school's training is acceptable. Some States require prospective drivers to complete a training course in basic truck driving before being issued their CDL. The Professional Truck Driver Institute (PTDI), a nonprofit organization established by the trucking industry, manufacturers, and others, certifies driver training courses at truck driver training schools that meet industry standards and Federal Highway Administration guidelines for training tractor-trailer drivers.
Drivers must get along well with people because they often deal directly with customers. Employers seek driver/sales workers who speak well and have self-confidence, initiative, tact, and a neat appearance. Employers also look for responsible, self-motivated individuals who are able to work well with little supervision.
Training given to new drivers by employers is usually informal, and may consist of only a few hours of instruction from an experienced driver, sometimes on the new employee's own time. New drivers may also ride with and observe experienced drivers before getting their own assignments. Drivers receive additional training to drive special types of trucks or handle hazardous materials. Some companies give 1 to 2 days of classroom instruction covering general duties, the operation and loading of a truck, company policies, and the preparation of delivery forms and company records. Driver/sales workers also receive training on the various types of products their company carries so that they can effectively answer questions about the products and more easily market them to their customers.
Although most new truck drivers are assigned to regular driving jobs immediately, some start as extra drivers—substituting for regular drivers who are ill or on vacation. Extra drivers receive a regular assignment when an opening occurs.
New drivers sometimes start on panel trucks or other small straight trucks. As they gain experience and show competent driving skills they may advance to larger, heavier trucks and finally to tractor-trailers.
The advancement of truck drivers generally is limited to driving runs that provide increased earnings, preferred schedules, or working conditions. Local truck drivers may advance to driving heavy or specialized trucks, or transfer to long-distance truck driving. Working for companies that also employ long-distance drivers is the best way to advance to these positions. Few truck drivers become dispatchers or managers.
Some long-distance truck drivers purchase trucks and go into business for themselves. Although some of these owner-operators are successful, others fail to cover expenses and go out of business. Owner-operators should have good business sense as well as truck driving experience. Courses in accounting, business, and business mathematics are helpful. Knowledge of truck mechanics can enable owner-operators to perform their own routine maintenance and minor repairs.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have followed all the installation inscructions for a manual install. All files are in a subdirectory /magento.
When I navigate to myurl/magento/downloader.php I am redirected to myurl/magento/index.php/install/ and presented with a blank screen.
I've searched for hours to try and figure out what to do. My hosting company (Netregistry) says I need to contact Magento so they are no help at all.
I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help me.
A blank page could indicate a PHP error. Error reporting is turned off by default therefore you only see a blank page, but you should be able to see the actual error message in the server error log. Ask your host where to find the PHP error log.
Thanks for the advice. I've spoken to my hosting company and I had to set up a statistics package in order to then get an error log. Frustratingly this is going to take several days.
Is there anything else I can do in the meantime? I've never had so much trouble setting up a system before! It's driving me mad!
If you uploaded your files using the cpanel or hosting file manager, it could have damaged certain PHP files which I suspect to be the case here,
I would advise deleting your public_html and replacing the files uploading via filezilla,
You should also note your php memory limit if that fails,
I uploaded all files via Filezilla.
ok and I take you have all the correct file permisions set? does it forward you to the install screen if you rename local.xml to local.xmllll ?
Yes, all the files have the correct permissions.
Where do I find the local.xml file? I can't see it.
Thanks so much for your help.
is there a way to show the error directly on the screen if logs are not accesible?

That was a great talk, awaiting the next part!
Start from the ground, explode forward while coordinating many parts of the body, and continue an all out assault on the tire until it is conquered. In Strongman, the tire is often flipped for a set number of turns, or it's required that you cover a set distance in a minimum amount of time. This sort of endurance training is great. For football, however, I believe that it should be trained similar to the way in which the game is played. My athletes use short aggressive reps in the 1–3 range followed by a brief rest period. They repeat this for multiple sets. This is reminiscent of coming off the line, making a few hits, and then resetting between downs.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. Do you think so?

(2) Ohio State 24
(12-1, 8-0 Big Ten)
(10) Michigan State 34
(12-1, 8-0 Big Ten)
Coverage: FOX
8:17 PM ET, December 7, 2013
Top Performers
Passing: C. Cook (MSU) - 304 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: B. Miller (OSU) - 21 CAR, 142 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: K. Mumphery (MSU) - 2 REC, 84 YDS, 1 TD
Stakes will be high for No. 2 Ohio State and No. 10 Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game -- though there might be some cool consolation prizes for the loser.
The Buckeyes (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) need a win to keep their national title hopes alive and it would help if it was an impressive victory to fend off a one-loss SEC champion in the BCS standings. Even with a loss, the Buckeyes are well-positioned to receive an at-large BCS bid.
But it is all about the Big Ten this week for the Buckeyes.
Coach Urban Meyer said Sunday during a teleconference with reporters that he planned to spend no more than a few seconds talking with his team about the BCS.
"Our focus is on this game and that's it," Meyer said. "It'd be a disservice to our players if I went and worried about it. We have to move the ball against a great defense, and that's my focus."
The Spartans (11-1, 8-0) need a victory to guarantee a desperately coveted spot in the Rose Bowl, where they haven't played since 1988. But if they lose, and Ohio State plays for the national title, the Spartans could go to the Rose Bowl anyway.
"I don't know," said Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio when asked about the possibility to losing the Big Ten and playing in the Rose Bowl, "I'm not thinking about losing.
"We're going to look at the things we can control."
The Leaders Division-champion Buckeyes, coming off a 42-41 victory against Michigan, have one of the top offenses in the country, averaging 48.2 points a game to rank third in the country and 530.5 yards to trail just five teams.
The Legends Division-champion Spartans are among best on defense, giving up a nation-low 237.7 yards and 11.8 points per game to rank fourth.
Soon after Ohio State stopped archrival Michigan on a 2-point conversion Saturday with 32 seconds left to stay undefeated, linebacker Ryan Shazier nailed a scouting report on Michigan State.
"They're a really good team with a really good defense and an offense that's getting better," the Butkus Award finalist said. "I can't wait to play them in Indianapolis."
The Buckeyes have won 24 straight games, a program record and the longest active streak in major college football.
"I feel very strongly about my team," Meyer said Sunday. "I would take this team anywhere with me. A team that knows how to win and refuses to lose is a special team and this is a very special team."
Ohio State also was 12-0 and won its division by two games last year, but its season ended after the regular season because of NCAA sanctions stemming from the tattoo scandal that rocked the program and led to ex-coach Jim Tressel's exit.
The Spartans have won eight games in a row since losing 17-14 at Notre Dame to earn their second berth in the Big Ten title game in three years. They blew their last opportunity to end the school's Rose Bowl drought.
In the inaugural conference championship game two years ago, Michigan State's Isaiah Lewis ran into Wisconsin punter Brad Nortman to negate a return to the Badgers 3 and give them a first down with 1:37 left in a 42-39 setback.
Lewis, now a senior, said he's happy that happened during his career.
"You don't even understand, the last time I was in Indianapolis, I was heartbroken," Lewis said Saturday after the Spartans beat Minnesota 14-3. "I was embarrassed to lose that game. The way that I left that game -- the play that happened -- it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
"I'm just ready to go back."
When the Buckeyes go to the Big Ten title game for the first time, they might not be at full strength.
Ohio State right guard Marcus Hall and kick returner Dontre Wilson were ejected from Saturday's game at Michigan Stadium for throwing punches during a skirmish following a kickoff. Hall made an obscene gesture toward the crowd as he walked off the field.
Meyer said he would not be suspending any players involved in the fight for the Big Ten championship game and that any discipline would be handled internally. The Big Ten could still weigh-in, though.

Top 25 Overview
No team has been able to slow down the Buckeyes on the ground, as they have produced the nation's No. 2 rushing offense. Nobody has been able to find much luck running into the brick wall that is the Michigan State defense, either, which leads the country in total and rushing yardage allowed this year. That matchup may not ultimately be the one that decides the Big Ten title, but it's certainly the most attractive in a strength-against-strength showdown as the Buckeyes try to punch a ticket to the national championship and the Spartans look for a trip to the Rose Bowl.

A drone tech soldier can send a remote controlled mini-chopper to scout ahead and pinpoint enemies for the whole team, but without teammates to protect them they'll get blown away while fiddling with their joysicks. Playing as a sniper, we flew a drone up ahead and from the air it could show us the location of enemy soldiers behind walls and cover with highly visible red diamonds.

Human beings are creatures of habit, fact. We all have our daily routines, our trademark quirks, our staple foods which we'll have day in, day out without fail, question or complaint. One such staple in our household during Ramadan is and always has been red lentil soup . As far as Middle Eastern/Egyptian cuisine is concerned, shorbat adas is a classic, and my non vegan family and I have been enjoying it every day at iftar. The very nature of a routine however means that it can get, well, routinely boring. So when my mom exclaimed that she was stopping by the supermarket after work to pick up "a can of tomato soup" I was hardly surprised she wanted to opt for a new flavour – although I had to contest her on the canned part. "Have you ever had canned tomato soup?" "No. Have you?" "I was a student for four years." "…" "Of course I have, It's disgusting. And loaded with sodium, preservatives and God knows what else." I then went on to convince her that no, fresh tomato soup isn't just watered down sauce and that I could in fact cook up a gourmet standard, fresh soup with real whole food ingredients in just enough time to head to the gym before iftar. And so I did.
Print This!
Serves 4
For the cashew cream
Grind the cashews in a spice grinder for 1-2 minutes until it forms a very fine powder (or paste). Thin out with a couple of tablespoons of water and a squeeze of lemon juice until you get a single cream-like consistency.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, and serve with a swirl of cashew cream. Your guests (or dubious mother) won't know what hit them. This soup is wonderfully rich in flavour thanks to the tomatoes and has an almost velvet like consistency from the blended chickpeas (which also pack a substantial protein punch might I add). Needless to say, she loved it. We've also decided to put the "canned soup" discussion/incident behind us . (Ps. you'll have to excuse the slightly sub-standard instagram shots – I'm currently in the market for a new camera so my iPhone is playing substitute in the interim. I promise you though, the picture quality is no indicator of taste!) |

Multirotor Swarming & Collective Orders
Time will tell if this thread will help keeping prices for spare parts in the RCG multirotor scene low - or not...
Most multirotorists need many parts times 4 or 6 or more. So why not open a dedicated thread for those who want to start or join a collective order? SWARMING Hobbyking.com offers a service for collective orders called swarm sale. Some product' prices can drop dramatically if interested buyers join a swarm sale. It's easy: If available you just click the "SWARM" button and enter your email or the code of an existing swarm. One example: hacker Style Brushless Outrunner 20-22L, usual price 14,72$ drops to 9,06$ This is an advantage of over 35%!!! Problem is that Hobbyking ships most parts from Hongkong and that takes time for a delivery and also extra taxes & customs are involved. I'll contact Hobbyking and ask them for easier and even cheaper swarmings and better stock in their US and EURO ware houses, since this would speed up the delivery. We have some good reasons: Prices drop to 2/3 or less - delivery could speed up and stocks could be kept targeting the needs of multirotorists. We have some good arguments: Most of us constantly need (counter rotating, slow flyer) props, escs, low kVA motors, strong lipos and stuff. And we need many of them to build tris, quads, hexas/Y6 and octos. So why burn money??? There's a special site that lists all active swarm sales here: http://www.joinhobbykingswarm.com This thread could also be a source for price announcements if somebody found something interesting or cheap he wants to share with others. COLLECTIVE ORDERS Besides Hobbyking there are many other sellers offering rebates for certain amounts of pieces per order. Usually you'll get 15-20% advantage if you'll order 10pcs instead of 1 - or up to 40% if you order 100pcs instead of 10. One advantage of collective orders would be shipping fees. Especially if you have to order abroad. One example: 10 European customers want to buy something that's only available or extremely cheap in the US or Asian. Instead of paying high shipping fees, taxes and hassle with customs 10 times, only 1 person orders the necessary amount and distributes the items in his country or continent via simple mail. There is a discussion going on about building own hardware for Flight Controllers and Sensor Boards based on the power the multirotor community has without a doubt. This thread could also help fund new projects if interested users chime in to develop, design or build new hardware through pre-orders of samples to make sure the developers' expenses will be covered. PayPal makes it easy! Looking forward to your inputs and especially on your lists and links of cheapos! Happy Swarming, Norbert UPDATE: To avoid confusion, could you please edit your original post as soon as the swarming on a specific item has ended? Thx! |
Dec 27, 2010, 05:05 PM | |
I started a SWARM thread in the "Hot Offers" section of the forum and it has over 1200 posts and tons of users in it. If you need a swarm completed just post it up and it will be completed in a matter of minutes to hours. We've also found out that everyone doesn't need to actually purchase it to get the swarm finished, just putting in your email to get 6 people will do it.

Dec 28, 2010, 12:52 PM | ||
Shall we put some orders together soon? I could order the parts from Digikey (BMA020, BMP085, HMC5883L). But it might be smarter if someone stateside did it, and shipped it on to individual prototypers - this way we can avoid VAT affecting the price, as a single set of components would be under the limit for VAT and import-tax! Someone else could get the ITG3200 (Or MPU6000 if it is available), from the Invensense Yahoo shop.... I would suggest something like 10 pcs of each. |

The Da Capo IF 01-02 batch is not an official Chihiro torrent. Honestly, I don't care if it is up there or not, because we're not going to be making a batch ourselves. But I don't know if ASuki has a policy of "Official torrents only" or if it is "Unofficial torrents are allowed if the fansub group doesn't mind." Because the group doesn't mind.

Pandora Hearts is showing incorrect batch file values.
http://www.animesuki.com/xml.php?type=series&id=1374 Single episodes are shown as batch files. Mainly with Kyuubi Fansubs. Friendly greetings, Deathspike~ |

And after thinking about for a while, I don't think my scripts are making a mistake here. All Kyuubi torrents contain 2 items: a folder (#1) with an episode in it (#2). Compare this torrent to this torrent and check the "Files" section. Now it's not that hard to modify my scripts to filter and treat these kinds of torrents as single (non-batch) torrents, but that would hide the actual structure of the torrent file. Considering you're using the XML feed, you're probably using some kind of script or application to read it, if so and if you are able to alter this application or script, you can add an extra check to see if the number of actual files (file size >0) in a "batch" torrent is >1 to determine whether it really is a batch or not. |

I see. I made a check using the is_numeric function on the episode number since I don't wish to download the torrent to get the file details. When it contains anything else then a numeric character, it should be a batch file. You could make your script(s) ignore folders in the counting procedure to handle this problem. Either way, I just thought i'd report it.
Friendly regards, Deathspike |

Is the following torrent an english release?
http://www.animesuki.com/group.php/1083.html I remember grabbing it from tosho (same group) and the subs were certainly not in english. A second sub track that I missed, maybe?

Too much exhaust noise inside car
I just had a new dual exhaust package put on my 37 Ply rod and I am getting way too much noise inside the car. The system is 2 1/2" pipes and dual chamber Flowmasters tied to Sanderson headers on a stock 307 SBC. The system does not move when you grab the pipe near the muffler and try to shake it. The rubber hangers are screwed directly to the frame rails and I think this is why it is so loud inside. Am I right or are Flowmasters supposed to deliver a low humming sound into the car. It really seams wrong to me. I was expecting to hear the sound at the rear of the car. Thanks for any advice.

If two chamber Flowmasters contributes to interior noise, would wrapping the mufler with INSULTEK insulation help? I have changed the front most hangers to softer, longer rubber hangers, but the rubber portion is attached to the floor pan. I have not tested this set up yet but I'm hopeful it will reduce the noise problem.
Some exhausts do give an interior resonance (spelling?) that may be too loud for some people. You could try the wrap or else you could try to apply some sound deadener to the interior of your car.
I would suggest insulation under the flooring if you dont already have it. Another thing is undercoating the bottom of the floor pan. It will help with sound control as well.
I will add that I have 2 chamber 3 inch flowmasters and I cant really hold a conversation in the cab without shouting. I dont have any floor insulation though. I am usually cruising by myself, and I kindof like the rumble. Chris |
The hanger change made a significant improvement. The floor is insulated and covered with sound deadening material and carpet. I do not have a sound deadener on the roof skin and I think a lot of the remaining noise is coming from there. The previous hangers were just too stiff. Problem solved for now. I'll do a new head liner later.
