Four-footed creatures can cause much more damage than insect pests in many suburban and rural gardens. They may ruin your garden or landscape overnight, eating anything from apples to zinnias. Most animal pests feed at night, making it tricky to figure out who the culprits are.
Follow these guidelines for coping with animal pests.
Identify the pests. Ask your neighbors what kinds of wildlife are common garden marauders in your neighborhood. Sit quietly looking out a window toward your garden at dawn or dusk, when animals tend to become active. Check for droppings or paw prints around your garden, and consult a wildlife guide to identify them.
Assess the damage. If it's only cosmetic, you may decide your plants can tolerate it. If the damage threatens harvest or plant health, control is necessary. If damage to ornamental plants is limited to one plant type, consider digging it out and replacing it with plants that are less appealing to animal pests.
Take action. Combining several tactics to deter animal pests may be most effective. For a vegetable or kitchen garden, a sturdy fence is often the only effective choice. Barriers work well to protect individual plants. Homemade or commercial repellents give inconsistent results, so use them experimentally. Scare tactics such as scarecrows and models of predator animals may frighten pest animals and birds. In extreme cases, you may choose to kill the pests by flooding their underground tunnels or by trapping or shooting. It's up to the individual to decide if the damage is severe enough to warrant these methods. If you decide to shoot or trap any animals, check first with your state Department of Environmental Resources to learn about regulations and required permits.
Deer have a taste for a wide range of garden and landscape plants. A few deer are a gentle nuisance; in areas with high deer pressure, they can be the worst garden pest you'll ever encounter. Deer are nocturnal, but may be active at any time. In areas where they've acclimated to humans, you may spot them browsing in your garden even in the middle of the afternoon.
Barriers: If deer are damaging a few select trees or shrubs, encircle the plants with 4-foot-high cages made from galvanized hardware cloth, positioned several feet away from the plants.
Fences: Fencing is the most reliable way to keep deer out of a large garden or an entire home landscape, but some types are quite costly, especially if you have it installed by a professional. Here are your options for deer fencing:
Conventional wire-mesh fences should be 8 feet high for best protection. A second, inner fence about 3 feet high will increase effectiveness because double obstacles confuse deer.
Slanted fences constructed with electrified wire are an excellent deer barrier. Installing this type of fence is a job for a professional.
Deer are not likely to jump a high, solid fence, such as one made of stone or wood.
Polypropylene (plastic) mesh deer fencing is costly, but easier to install on your own than an electric fence.
For small gardens, up to 40 feet by 60 feet, a shorter enclosure made of snow fencing or woven-wire fencing may be effective, because deer don't like to jump into a confined space.
Repellents: For minor deer-damage problems, repellents will be effective for awhile, but eventually the deer will probably grow accustomed to the repellent and begin browsing again. Under the pressure of a scarce food supply, deer may even learn to use the odor of repellents as guides to choice food sources. Periodically changing from one type of repellent to another can increase your chances for success. You can make your own or buy a commercial repellent.
Hang bars of highly fragrant soap from strings in trees and shrubs. Or nail each bar to a 4-foot stake and drive the stakes at 15-foot intervals along the perimeter of the area.
Try using human hair. Ask your hairdresser to save hair for you to collect each week. Put a handful of hair in a net or mesh bag (you can use squares of cheesecloth to make bags), and hang bags 3 feet above the ground and 3 feet apart.
Farmers and foresters repel deer by spraying trees or crops with an egg-water mixture. Mix 5 eggs with 5 quarts of water for enough solution to treat ¼ acre. Spray plants thoroughly. You may need to repeat application after a rain.
Commercial repellents are available at garden centers. Be sure to ask if a product contains only organic ingredients. You may have to experiment to find one that offers good control. Watch for new products coming on the market, too. For example, preliminary tests of milk powder as a deer repellent seem promising.
Experiment with homemade repellents by mixing blood meal, bonemeal, exotic animal manure, hot sauce, or garlic oil with water. Recipes for concocting these repellents differ, and results are variable. Saturate rags or string with the mixtures, and place them around areas that need protection.
Some gardeners who own male dogs that regularly patrol their yards report that they have few deer problems, even though they don't have a fence or use repellents. It seems that the scent of the dogs is enough to discourage deer from spending much time in the area.
Deer-proof plants: If fencing your yard is beyond your budget, and repellents aren't doing the trick, you could try revamping your landscape with plants that deer don't like to eat. Over time, remove the plants that deer have damaged so badly that they've lost their attractiveness 37or never flower. Replace them with shrubs, vines, and perennials with a reputation for being deer-proof. There's no hard-and-fast list, and it's possible that the deer in one region may dislike plants that are quite palatable to deer in another. Ask your Cooperative Extension service for a list of plants that seem to be locally deer-proof, and consult the Resources section for books on the topic.
Ground squirrels and chipmunks are burrowing rodents that eat seeds, nuts, fruits, roots, bulbs, and other foods. They are similar, and both are closely related to squirrels. They tunnel in soil and uproot newly planted bulbs, plants, and seeds. Ground squirrel burrows run horizontally; chipmunk burrows run almost vertically.
Traps: Bait live traps with peanut butter, oats, or nut meats. Check traps daily.
Habitat modification: Ground squirrels and chipmunks prefer to scout for enemies from the protection of their burrow entrance. Try establishing a tall groundcover to block the view at ground level.
Other methods: Place screen or hardware cloth over plants, or insert it in the soil around bulbs and seeds. Try spraying repellents on bulbs and seeds.
Mice and voles look alike and cause similar damage, but they are only distantly related. They are active at all times of day, year-round. They eat almost any green vegetation, including tubers and bulbs. When unable to find other foods, mice and voles will eat the bark and roots of fruit trees. They can do severe damage to young apple trees.
Barriers: Sink cylinders of hardware cloth, heavy plastic, or sheet metal several inches into the soil around the bases of trees. You may be able to protect bulbs and vegetable beds by mixing a product containing slate particles into the soil.
Traps and baits: Some orchardists place snap traps baited with peanut butter, nut meats, or rolled oats along mouse runways to catch and kill them. A bait of vitamin D is available. It causes a calcium imbalance in the animals, and they will die several days after eating the bait.
Other methods: Repellents such as those described for deer may control damage. You can also modify habitat to discourage mice and voles by removing vegetative cover around tree and shrub trunks.
In some ways, moles are a gardener's allies. They aerate soil and eat insects, including many plant pests. However, they also eat earthworms. Their tunnels can be an annoyance in gardens and under your lawn. Mice and other small animals also may use the tunnels and eat the plants that moles have left behind.
Traps: Harpoon traps placed along main runs will kill the moles as they travel through their tunnels.
Barriers: To prevent moles from invading an area, dig a trench about 6 inches wide and 2 feet deep. Fill it with stones or dried, compact material such as crushed shells. Cover the material with a thin layer of soil.
Habitat modification: In lawns, insects such as soil-dwelling Japanese beetle grubs may be the moles' main food source. If you're patient, you can solve your mole (and your grub) problem by applying milky disease spores, a biological control agent, to your lawn. This is more effective in the South than in the North, because the disease may not overwinter well in cold conditions. However, if you have a healthy organic soil, the moles may still feed on earthworms once the grubs are gone.
Other methods: You can flood mole tunnels and kill the moles with a shovel as they come to the surface to escape the water. Repellents such as those used to control deer may be effective. Unfortunately, repellents often merely divert the moles to an area that is unprotected by repellents.
These thick-bodied rodents tunnel through soil, eating bulbs, tubers, roots, seeds, and woody plants. Fan- or crescent-shaped mounds of soil at tunnel entrances are signs of pocket gopher activity.
Fences and barriers: Exclude gophers from your yard with an underground fence. Bury a strip of hardware cloth so that it extends 2 feet below and 2 feet above the soil surface around your garden or around individual trees. A border of oleander plants may repel gophers.
Flooding: You can kill pocket gophers as you would moles, by flooding them out of their tunnels.
Rabbits can damage vegetables, flowers, and trees at any time of year in any setting. They also eat spring tulip shoots, tree bark, and buds and stems of woody plants.
Look, Don't Touch
While we may wish that solving animal pest problems were as easy as posting a "Look, Don't Touch" sign, we should heed the warning ourselves when dealing with animal pests. Wild animals are unpredictable, so keep your distance. They may bite or scratch and, in doing so, can transmit serious diseases such as rabies. Any warm-blooded animal can carry rabies, a virus that affects the nervous system. Rabies is a threat in varying degrees throughout the United States and Canada. Among common garden animal pests, raccoons and skunks are most likely to be infected. It's best never to try to move close to or touch wild animals in your garden. And if you're planning to catch animal pests in live traps, be sure you've planned a safe way to transport and release the animals before you set out the baited traps.
Fences: The best way to keep rabbits out of a garden is to erect a chicken-wire fence. Be sure the mesh is 1 inch or smaller so that young rabbits can't get through. You'll find instructions for constructing a chicken-wire fence in the Fencing entry.
Barriers: Erect cylinders made of ¼-inch hardware cloth around young trees or valuable plants. The cages should be 1½ to 2 feet high, or higher if you live in an area with deep snowfall, and should be sunk 2 to 3 inches below the soil surface. Position them 1 to 2 inches away from the tree trunks. Commercial tree guards are also available.
Other methods: Repellents such as those used for deer may be effective. Commercial inflatable snakes may scare rabbits from your garden.
Raccoons prefer a meal of fresh crayfish but will settle for a nighttime feast in your sweet corn patch. Signs that they have dined include broken stalks, shredded husks, scattered kernels, and gnawed cob ends.
Fences and habitat modification: A fence made of electrified netting attached to fiberglass posts will keep out raccoons, rabbits, and woodchucks. Or if you have a conventional fence, add a single strand of electric wire or polytape around the outside to prevent raccoons from climbing the fence. Try lighting the garden at night or planting squash among the corn—the prickly foliage may be enough to deter the raccoons.
Barriers: Protect small plantings by wrapping ears at top and bottom with strong tape. Loop the tape around the tip, then around the stalk, then around the base of each ear. This prevents raccoons from pulling the ears off the plants. Or try covering each ear with a paper bag secured with a rubber band.
Woodchucks, or groundhogs, are found in the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, parts of the Midwest, and most of southern Canada. You are most likely to see woodchucks in the early morning or late afternoon, munching on a variety of green vegetation. Woodchucks hibernate during winter. They're most likely to be a pest in early spring, eating young plants in your gardens.
Fences: A sturdy chicken-wire fence with a chicken-wire-lined trench will keep out woodchucks.
Barriers: Some gardeners protect their young plants from woodchucks by covering them with plastic or floating row covers.
The following animals cause only minor damage to gardens or are pests only in a limited area of the country.
Armadillos: These animals spend most of the day in burrows, coming out at dusk to begin the night's work of digging for food and building burrows. Their diet includes insects, worms, slugs, crayfish, carrion, and eggs. They will sometimes root for food in gardens or lawns. Armadillos cannot tolerate cold weather, which limits their range to the southern United States.
A garden fence is the best protection against armadillos. You also can trap them.
Prairie dogs: Prairie dogs can be garden pests in the western United States. They will eat most green plants. If they are a problem in your landscape, control them with the same tactics described for ground squirrels and pocket gophers.
Skunks: Skunks eat a wide range of foods. They will dig holes in your lawn while foraging and may eat garden plants. Skunks can be a real problem when challenged by pets or unwary gardeners.
Keep skunks out of the garden by fencing it. You can try treating your lawn with milky disease spores to kill grubs.
Squirrels: Squirrels eat forest seeds, berries, bark, buds, flowers, and fungi. Around homes, they may feed on grain, especially field corn. Damage is usually not serious enough to cause concern. Try using repellents such as those suggested for deer control to protect small areas.
To the gardener, birds are both friends and foes. While they eat insect pests, many birds also consume entire fruits or vegetables or will pick at your produce, leaving damage that invites disease and spoils your harvest.
Some of the birds likely to raid your vegetable gardens are blue jays and blackbirds such as crows, starlings, and grackles. If you grow berries or tree fruit, you may find yourself playing host to beautiful but hungry songbirds such as cedar waxwings and orioles. You'll have to decide which you enjoy more—eating the fruit or birdwatching!
Many gardeners report success in using commercial or homemade devices to frighten birds away from their crops.
Fake enemies: You can scare birds by fooling them into thinking their enemies are present. Try placing inflatable, solid, or silhouetted likenesses of snakes, hawks, or owls strategically around your garden to discourage both birds and small mammals. They'll be most effective if you occasionally reposition them so that they appear to move about the garden. Hang "scare-eye" and hawklike balloons and kites that mimic bird predators in large plantings. Use 4 to 8 balloons per acre in orchards or small fruit or sweet corn plantings.
Weird noises: Unusual noises can also frighten birds. A humming line works well in a strawberry patch or vegetable garden. The line, made of very thin nylon, vibrates in even the slightest breeze. The movement creates humming noises inaudible to us, but readily heard and avoided by birds. Leaving a radio on at night in the garden can scare away some pests. A word to the wise: Commercially available ultrasonic devices that purport to scare animal and bird pests are unreliable.
Flashes of light: Try fastening aluminum pie plates or unwanted CDs to stakes with strings in and around your garden. Blinking lights may work, too.
Sticky surfaces: Another tactic that may annoy or scare birds is to coat surfaces near the garden where they might roost with Bird Tanglefoot.
And don't forget two tried-and-true methods: making a scarecrow and keeping a domestic dog on your property.
In general, birds feed most heavily in the morning and again in late afternoon. Schedule your control tactics to coincide with feeding times. Many birds have a decided preference for certain crops. Damage may be seasonal, depending on harvest time of their favorite foods.
You can control bird damage through habitat management or by blocking their access or scaring them away from your garden (see "Scare Tactics"). For any method, it is important to identify the bird. A control effective for one species may not work for another. Also, you don't want to mistakenly scare or repel beneficial birds.
Try these steps to change the garden environment to discourage pesky birds:
You can also take steps to prevent birds from reaching your crops. The most effective way is to cover bushes and trees with lightweight plastic netting, and to cover crop rows with floating row covers.

How to Select
LED Lighting is the most innovative form of lighting on the market today, saving as much as 80% on electrical costs versus conventional lighting.
When choosing your lighting, consider:
- Voltage:
- Low Voltage – low voltage(usually 12v) lighting is typically used for under cabinet lighting, outdoor lighting, or landscape lighting. Ambient lighting sometimes uses low voltage fixtures as well. However, a low voltage fixture will not operate properly in line voltage connections. If connected to a line voltage (120v), it may cause electrical fire or damage to the fixture and surrounding area.
- Line Voltage – Line voltage, is the common term for standard 120v power. Standard household electricity is line voltage. You should not connect low voltage fixtures to line voltage connections. If you plan to install lighting inside your home besides accent lighting, you will most likely use line voltage lighting.
Commercial Grade:
If the installation is a commercial building, consider using Commercial Grade fixtures which can handle heavier duty electrical currents and higher voltage. These fixtures are safer for regular use in commercial situations.
- Insulated Ceiling:
If you ceiling has additional insulation, please consider using a housing that is suitable for this. At Westside Wholesale, we offer models that are suitable. If you do not have insulation in your ceiling, we also have models that fit your application.
- Interconnectable:
Certain LED lighting models are designed to be interconnected to a series of lighting for dimming or to connect to a lighting control module.
- Color:
When refining by color, you will notice that it refers to several color variables whether it be the finish on the metal trim, or the color of the LED elements.
For additional assistance in selecting the LED lighting that is suitable for your application, contact our Customer Service Department through Live Chat or by calling 1-877-998-9378.

WarStory Overview
WarStory – Europe in Flames offers a new take on the browser based strategy genre. The game runs using Microsoft Silverlight and is able to provide better visuals than most strategy games. WarStory is a WW2 themed game where players chose to play as either the Americans or Soviets. Their task is to reach Berlin, and liberate Europe from the AI-controlled Germans. There's no direct PvP, instead it is a race to see which faction can liberate the most cities and reach Berlin first. Gameplay involves using small squads of units to capture and hold strategy points. Flank and surround enemy troops to deal bonus damage.

WarStory Full Review
By, Jaime Skelton
War is an emotional word, conveying a host of meanings, images, and reactions. Depending on a person's or even a country's recent war experience, war can evoke many different feelings: anger, betrayal, bitterness, triumph, even relief. It's no surprise that we often try to relive history through gaming, looking into the wars of our past to be a part of that deep emotion and sensation running in our veins from days past.
Enter WarStory: Europe in Flames, a browser-based strategy game from BigPoint focused on the late era of World War II. Pitting players against an AI-controlled Germany (which will never be a playable faction), WarStory lets players race to victory inside the walls of Berlin, ending the war by their own efforts, in an interesting mode of gameplay that isn't easily compared to any other strategy game currently on the free-to-play market.
Back in the US(SR)
You begin WarStory by choosing your commander from a few limited portraits, choosing your side of the war (the US on the western front, or the USSR/Russia on the eastern front), and then choosing your starting point (called a drop or landing zone). A key factor to note here is that the Americans and Soviets are allies – they cannot directly attack each other. Instead, both factions race on their individual fronts toward Germany, their mutual enemy. These factions passively race each other through four war phases in an attempt to capture Berlin for their own, before claiming it and ending the war session to begin anew. In short, WarStory is a progression race.
From this starting zone, you'll move on from city to city, completing missions along the way. There are three kinds of missions: scout's reports, which are offered every two hours and are relatively simple to complete; High Command, which cost Favor (earned by completing previous missions) but significantly upgrade your convoy of troops; and War Targets, which are missions active for the war phase in an attempt to liberate a city from German control.
Building is for Carpenters, Not Strategists
Most browser-based strategy games follow a typical formula: build a town, recruit heroes, amass an army, and go out and conquer. WarStory circumvents this notion by eliminating any concept of individual ownership of land at all. Instead, you manage a convoy of military units, and your sole responsibility is completing missions to further the war effort against Germany.
That isn't to say there isn't strategy: in fact, War Story is full of a complex unit strategy that requires apt knowledge of unit strengths and weaknesses, item bonuses and benefits, general abilities, and use of cover, movement, and attacks on the maps themselves. While the game encourages you to first auto-assign units, a new player will quickly struggle if they do not learn the benefits of each unit's use, and what units to send in each battle.
Time is Money
Losing these struggles, unfortunately, comes at a heavy cost. While you never truly "lose" any units when they are defeated, you must wait for them to be replenished and/or repaired – a lengthy process that takes hours. For a new player who only has four or five units, and loses three or four in battle, a loss means a full seize on their playtime for possibly a fourth of a day or longer. Travel time, too, takes a significant amount of time; for example, a new player's movement to their first mission – only one town away – consumes two hours.
As the game lacks true PvP, this time investment is Bigpoint's biggest item shop strategy – lure the impatient, or those rushing to attack a declared war target, to spend coin to make haste. Almost any purchase is designed to make the game play go faster. Given the scope of the game's maps, and the heavy time penalty for a loss, the temptation is strong. The key difference between this and other strategy game cash shops, however, is that the competitive nature against other players is reduced in War Story, making it less necessary to speed up personal improvements.
Final Verdict: Good
While it can be a struggle to first learn and adapt to WarStory's systems and pacing, there's a lot of good to be said about the game. To begin with, the game requires a modicum of strategy against the AI units, meaning that a player simply can't grab the best units or, alternatively, auto-assign units, and push forward from mission to mission without fear of defeat. It also strips away much of the bulk of browser-based strategies by dropping the pretense of managing a town, and focusing fully on a well-designed war effort. A little odd in its own right, WarStory is, nonetheless, a game that offers a unique experience in the free-to-play strategy game world.

The Undersea Warfare (USW) Division concentrates on the Navy's key core competency mission of countering submarine and mine threats to the free and open flow of sea borne commerce and to the conduct of power projection from the sea. The division is very broadly based. All Navy platforms and elements of the Navy force structure are involved in undersea warfare: submarines, surface combatants, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, surveillance units, and the Navy's command and control infrastructure. The USW Division has five active Technical Committees: Sensor Systems, Mine Warfare Systems, Undersea Vehicles (including weapons), Aviation, and C4I and Combat Systems.
Undersea Warfare Division Charter and Bylaws (PDF - Oct 2014)
Joint Undersea Warfare Technology Conferences
Each year, the Division sponsors two major events, each of which draws several hundred professionals from the active duty Navy, the key Navy Secretariat, the Pentagon, SYSCOM program offices, Navy and university laboratories, and, naturally, the Defense Industry.
The most recent Division Spring Conference, "Supporting and Executing a Game-Changing USW Theater Strategy," held March 25-26, 2014 at the Admiral Kidd Conference Center at Naval Base Pt. Loma, concluded with an attendance of over 300 professionals from government, industry, and academia.
Planning is underway for the next Joint Undersea Warfare Technology Fall Conference to be held in Groton, CT. Details are available at http://www.ndia.org/meetings/4240.

Does this exist in temperate marpat?
No, only desert. The black fleece was part of ECWCS and constructed of Polartec 300, whereas that desert MARPAT fleece is made of their Windpro fabric. The black fleece was also issued in coyote for a time.
Does anyone use field jacket liners anymore? Those were the bees knees.
Do you guys use fleece as a part of your uniform? For us it was banned due to the flammability/effect of fleece when burning=/
how about this:
the brit army moved from dpm fleece to green fleece as "officers" seemed to thinkDPM fleece it had the same IRR properies as a combat jacket and therefore wore it as such....
it did not
then we moved to green only fleeces (one time issue at depot).
then we moved to a desert/green reversible issue thing that was issued on deployment.
now i think we will be moving onto a fleece/pertex hybrid (tantalus) much like the buffalo as:
1. it works
2. blokes wont sell it to airsofters on ebay if it works.
3. it was SF issue first.
4. it looks cool and isnt an extortionately expensive buffalo or and expensive rip off.

The Marines issue two different types of fleece. One is a standard desert brown commonly called a brown bear jacket and the other is a desert MARPAT patterned fleece that many call a "cheetah" jacket due to the spots on it. I wear the latter on a regular basis, it is light but warm!
The best was being TDY with no civies or lost bags & trying to pull off "who, me in the army?" look with this:
Attachment 192824
The army sweater, the sleep shirt, field jacket liner and wet weather top were cold weather essentials. We weren't allowed to wear the field jacket in the field, but you could use the parka.

Systems Engineer II Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Raytheon.
Applied for the position online. Received a call about a month later for a phone interview. Contacted by HR to schedule a second on site interview. Flew out to job site for in-person interview. Accommodated flight, hotel, rental, and meals. Interview process included several rounds of interview followed by lunch. Follow up call from HR representative a few days after interview.
- Unexpected questions about company and products. Something I should have known and researched. Answer Question

Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Raytheon.Interview Details
I was invited out to one of Raytheon's Hiring Events in Tucson. You get an initial phone call or email probe asking whether or not you are looking for or interested in employment with Raytheon. Next, you'll get a call from a hiring manager from a department that is interested in you, who will do your screening interview, which basically consists of questions about your schoolwork or internship experience, and how it relates to their particular branch.
If you perform well, you will be invited out with about 150 other younger individuals (Age: 20 - mid 30s) at the Leows Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, AZ. It's a really spectacular event, where you get to meet and network with other recent grads/current students, as we all with active managers and engineers. You will be assigned 2-4 interviews (maybe more if you play your cards right), and will do them on site at the resort.
My particular interviews were entirely behavioral, I'm guessing had a dual B.S. and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering and they thought I would know my technical stuff pretty well. I did hear of other people getting some technical questions asked though, but none of them were mentioned to be mind blowingly difficultInterview Questions
Negotiation DetailsDid not try to negotiate, as the compensation was VERY reasonable.
- No difficult or unexpected questions. Answer Question
Get the interview by being yourself. If you've been invited to the hiring fair... they. want. you. The only thing they are concerned with is your personality and desire.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Raytheon in March 2013.Interview Details
First I did a brief phone interview of approximately 10 minutes. They asked me questions related to my resume and also about how extensive my skills were in Matlab. They were pleased with my answers and said they would contact me about a hiring event they were doing in Tucson toward the end of the month. At the event I interviewed with 3 separate departments and the interview questions were the usual personality fit questions, e.g. " tell us of a time you had several options for a project solution. What was your thought process behind it and what was the result?"Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThey said they wouldn't negotiate unless you had an offer from another companyAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- Tell of a time in which you had two employees who did not get along. How did you resolve the issue? Answer Question
Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Raytheon in November 2012.Interview Details
I applied online, and a week later, I received an email from an engineering fellow about a phone screening. He asked me what type of work I was interested in, and explained their work. He liked my responses, so arranged to fly me out for an on-site interview. HR arranged all the travel and stuff for me, and I arrived in Marlborough the afternoon before. The directions to the site were a bit trickier than I thought, so I arrived a few minutes late.
I had four interviews with four managers. First one just talked at me, but the second guy was pretty excited about technical questions, which covered a whole range (waveforms, networks, coding, filters), and third guy was kind of behavioral. Fourth interview was also just chatting, mainly about life in Massachusetts. I had lunch with one of the junior engineers, officially not an interview, and then had a follow up with the recruiter, who said she'd be in touch with me within a week. This was a Wednesday. I received a call from her on Monday, and the offer package arrived on Tuesday.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- Why does the DVBS-2 standard use 16APSK instead 16PSK constellation? Also some questions about filtering, since I usually would have separated that from communications subjects (more towards signal processing) View Answer
I think that relocation assistance was insufficient. HR was not willing to budge on it. I took another offer with another company that was local (same salary and everything)Declined OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Raytheon in October 2012.Interview Details
I was called on a Tuesday to be scheduled for a group interview on Thursday. Prior to accepting, I had to fill out a more formal application form and I had to submit my SSN.
When I arrived, there was food served and a presentation was shown. There was a small group of 5 people with different experience levels. The presentation shows what they do and what benefits come with working for Raytheon. After a half hour presentation the group was split up to go to their individual interviews.
I had 3 interviews which lasted 2.5 hours. I realized now that these guys were the people I will be reporting to. In my offer letter it stated which person I will be reporting to and it was one of the 3 people that interviewed me.
After the interview, I was told by HR that they will be making their decision soon. The next day, I was contacted and told that Raytheon will be extending an offer. Approximately 10 business days after the verbal offer, I received my formal offer in the mail.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI personally did not negotiate, because I thought the offer was more than fair.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- I fully prepared myself by seeing my career specialist and having a full mock interview with fake questions. Be prepared to bring questions to be interactive with the interview. Answer Question

Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 6+ weeks – interviewed at Raytheon in April 2012.Interview Details
The hiring process for me was a huge hiring event. Raytheon brought about one hundred or so potential employees (candidates) for a two day hiring event that felt like a Raytheon only career fair. They booked the Lowes Ventana Canyon hotel, so candidates feel nicely wined and dined. The first day is all information presentations such as benefits presentations, site tour, company history and performance presentation, local home purchasing information, information about local attractions, and apartment hunter point of contacts.
The evening before the interviews, candidates have the opportunity to meet department managers and arrange additional interviews. So candidates are brought in for a specific interview (the job you applied for and got in the door with), but then candidates spend a cocktail hour and half meeting the other department managers talking with employees in that section (present with the manager) and line up additional interview around the specific interview candidates were brought to the event for.
The interview takes about an hour. Nothing out of the norm for technical interviews, such as; asking about thesis, projects, skills, and minor technical challenges to verify technical competence.
One thing to note that bachelor's will feel slightly out matched at Raytheon. I thought I would be above the mean going to the event with an MS, but there were mostly MS candidates at the event. There are even a lot of Ph.Ds at the event, but few candidates with a BS. I applied to Raytheon without an MS for years with nothing and the minute I applied as an MS I got the invite right away.
Well I hope this was helpful and good luck.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsA little back and forth with my current employer, squeezed a signing bonus, and a better moving package (which has tens of thousands of dollars worth of support including house hold goods movement, temporary housing funds, daily per diem, lease break, house hunting trips paid for, milage, airfare, and a several thousand dollar misc fund) out of Raytheon. They were fairly immovable on salary, but the salary is very competitive.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
- There was no really challenging question. I had to explain my thesis to people who did not know much about the nitch I was explaining. View Answer
Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Raytheon in August 2011.Interview Details
The particular position for which I was hired happened to run out of a hiring budget before I was contacted, so my one and only interview was over the phone. I spoke to the hiring manager for approximately thirty minutes, but the majority of the time was spent listening to him explain the requirements of the job. There were one or two questions about my ability to work on a team.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere was no negotiation. The salary was acceptable for the area, and minimal relocation was provided.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
- Are you willing to work rotating 12 hours shifts with built in overtime? Answer Question
Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Raytheon in October 2009.Interview Details
I was interviewed by 3 different departments. Each dept. sent 5 or 6 people to do a 30-45 min interview. It took 2 days, and was exhausting. Being a new hire, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary or extremely difficult question-wise. Raytheon likes to hire new hires in a "college hire" event. THey will fly out/ask 10-15 people who have recently graduated or just finishing school. This is how I was hired. It was myself and 1 other person who accepted positions through this process, although I'm unsure how many were given offers.Interview Questions

Had 6 interviews - know your resume well. Questions tend to build off of your resume. They may ask what if you did you project this way? Is it possible? What potential problems do you forsee?

Systems Engineer II InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Raytheon in April 2009.Interview Details
I was recruited out of college. An interviewer came to my college and had scheduled interviews set up by the college of engineering. The interview took about 30 minutes. After this, I received an invitation for a recruiting weekend in Tucson. They flew me down, rented me a car, and put me in a very nice resort, along with over a hundred other soon-to-be college grads. We got a site tour, a few nice meals, and a morning of interviews with various departments.
Unfortunately, I was not mapped into the correct departments and had to request an interview with the department that ultimately hired me. Each interview was approximately 20 minutes, focusing on the work I had done in college and my area of expertise. Interviews as this level focused on technical expertise rather than obscure psychological questions.
It is important to note that after being hired, there is a lengthy and very in-depth application process for a DOD security clearance. This process goes into your past 5 to 7 years, depending on the level of clearance required. Applicants are required to list places they have lived, as well as individuals they have known and their contact information. It speeds the process considerably to have this information available beforehand.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsAs their offer was beyond what I was expecting, I did not negotiate. However, a friend of mine successfully negotiated an additional 2k by simply requesting it and emphasizing his expertise in the field.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- I don't recall anything particularly difficult. However, they did ask me about non-linear control systems, a topic I had not yet studied. Answer Question

This train is definitely not designed to take you from A to B via the quickest possible route. Climb aboard the Pre-Alpine Express from St. Gallen to Lucerne, and there's one thing you'll require in abundance – time. Because there's much to see. First you leave behind the city with its world famous Abbey Library, then cross into neighbouring Canton Appenzell with its distinctive landscape and the impressive Alpstein massif. Rolling hills and pristine villages pass by your panorama windows as the train winds its way through the idyllic Toggenburg. The peaks of the Churfirsten range adorn the backdrop. We suggest a stopover in Rapperswil on eastern Lake Zurich and a leisurely stroll through the attractive old town. Take in the view of the historic castle and enjoy a lakeside ice cream – a simple pleasure but the perfect start to the final leg of your journey to the heart of Switzerland.
RouteSt. Gallen – Lucerne travel time 2.15 hours
St. Gallen and regionThe spirit of the Benedictine monks still lingers in the UNESCO-listed St. Gallen Abbey Precinct. Visit the magnificent cathedral and the Abbey Library with its Baroque hall and more than 170,000 rare books.
One of Switzerland's most breathtaking vistas can be enjoyed close to St. Gallen, by taking the cable car past rugged rock faces to the 2502-metre summit of Mount Säntis. You'll be rewarded with views stretching from Germany's Black Forest to the Vosges mountain range in France.
Lucerne and regionFive stately steamships ply the placid waters of Lake Lucerne, including the "Uri" – launched in 1901 and the oldest paddle steamer in Switzerland. A round trip on a historic steamer is like a journey into the past. And the perfect prelude to an excursion into the surrounding mountains.
In 1806 a devastating landslide in Goldau destroyed three local villages and killed more than 400 people. More than two centuries later, this once stricken area is an attractive Nature & Wildlife Park for more than 100 types of animals, including deer, wolves and lynx.
Dining & WiningOn each Pre-Alpine Express is a Bistro Car available with refreshments.
TimetableDeparts St. Gallen 07.05 (arrives Lucerne 09.20) and every hour until 19.05 (arrives Lucerne 21.20)

Did you know...?
- When travelling by the Pre-Alpine Express, you cross over the highest railway bridge in Switzerland. It's the 99-metre high Sitter viaduct near St. Gallen.
- No other canton can claim such a treasure trove of living tradition as Appenzell. Whether on foot or by public transport, you can experience ancient customs and crafts in close-up in the region between Lake Constance and Mount Säntis.

text: I have a j2me app in which I receive a number of SMS in a process, but when sometime it has some error or exception it stops there by showing error but what happens is that the remaining SMS which actually has been sent by the Server, do not receive on port rather they stay over the port. I yet didn't close the port but due to exception occurrence my app doesn't receive those SMS, I also tried to close and open the port again at that moment but still same issue. And when I close app(exit) and restart it, I receive those remaining SMS before my new process get it's own SMS. So I have to wait for those OLD sms to discard and then move processing my new one. I need some solution that when I get exception somehow my remaining SMS on port should be discarded. Note: I am closing my port only on exit, and opening and runtime of app. Thanks

Paul McCartney Kicks Off North American 'Out There' Dates
Saturday, May 18, 2013
Paul McCartney kicks off the North American leg of his 2013 Out There tour this weekend. "Macca" and his band open things up over two nights, Saturday and Sunday (May 18th and 19th), at Orlando, Florida's Amway Center. The tour -- which is the former Beatle's busiest road trek since 2005 -- will take in 20 shows over a leisurely 12 weeks playing to both indoor arenas, stadiums, and outdoor festivals. McCartney wraps up his June dates with a quick three-date popover to Europe where he'll play Warsaw, Poland; Verona, Italy; and Vienna, Austria before resuming the second half of North American dates.
McCartney explained that even though some of the songs in his setlist date back 50 years, as a father and grandfather he's able to find new emotions in the tunes that he couldn't possibly have imagined back in his Beatles days: "A song like 'Yesterday' I wrote when I was 20, or 21, or something. And so, it was a quite a young man writing about yesterday -- I didn't have many yesterdays, it was only about few years of them. It's much more emotional now for me, because, y'know, my yesterdays involve bringing up children now, and when they were little babies. As you go on, the songs seem to have more depth. Y'know, words that I just wrote because I liked the sound of them -- now I like the meaning of them."

May 18, 19 - Orlando, Florida - Amway Center

text: This bird is hanging around to guard its meal and to see what else might turn up dead. Vultures are scavengers and this one has been satisfying itself on someone's remains. Standing over a foot tall, the vulture looks as if he is resting on a dead tree covered in scattered bones. Made of latex, it has a white feather accent around the neck. You can place this detailed animal up high so that he is looking down on your guests. Or put it right above your door to unnerve anyone who enters.

So here it is, the Second ACAs for 2012. In this round, all AARs updated between January 1st and July 1st, 2012 are eligible. Now as an experiment, and in response to feedback, the process will be a little different this time, in particular the 4 categories for each different game have been abolished so all you need to do is to vote for your favourites (this was discussed in this earlier thread. The main difference is that you can vote for up to 4 AARs in the following categories - Crusader Kings 1/2; Victoria 1/2; HOI 2/3; EU 1/2/3 and that you can only vote once in the other categories.
Voting will close on 1 August 2012.
- There will be NO voting via PM. Any PM votes will be disregarded.
- The Open category at the bottom of the page is for any game that does not have its own category. So no Vicky, HoI, EU or CK AARs here. The open category is NOT for interactive AARs.
- Voting for yourself is not permitted.
- Must have been started BEFORE July 1st, 2012.
- Must have updated at least once between January 1st, 2012 and July 1st, 2012.
- The winners will be the top three AARs from each category.
The categories will be:
Crusader Kings I, II - 4 votes
Europa Universalis I, II, III - 4 votes
Hearts of Iron I, II, III - 4 votes
Victoria I, II - 4 votes
AGEOD - 1 vote
Open - 1 vote
If you break a rule, you will be given a friendly reminder. If your vote has not been updated to reflect these rules by August 1st the offending votes will be disregarded but the rest of your ballot will still be counted.
Happy voting, good luck, and please promote these awards in your AARs and signatures.
Sample ballot:
- - - - -
Favourite CK 1/2 AARs (up to 4, please include links)
Favourite EU 1/2/3 AARs (up to 4, please include links)

On this V8 engine, timing chain problems are very common. Because the timing chain tensioners were made from plastic, they can fail prematurely and cause serious engine damage. A noticeable engine noise while idling or during a cold start can indicate a timing chain tensioner problem. The engine noise may also be accompanied by a rough or uneven engine idle. Improved components are available to remedy this problem.
