How to Use a Spotting Scope
A spotting scope is a good alternative to binoculars and telescopes. Spotting scopes have more range of magnification than binoculars and are easier to carry and more compact than telescopes.

This rife scope looked and feels great on my Browning 270, great buy for the moneyRead More
Great product at a fantastic price, have one mounted on a 308 and another mounted on a 243.Read More
Great scope, unbelievable price. Shipping could have been a little faster only because I was so excited to recieve it. It looks great on my Ruger m77 .308 . I have not shot it yet but have boresighted it. Optics are very clear ,adjustments are very crisp. I would recomend buying this scope to anyone who wants a quility product at a very reasonable price.Read More
After tons of research I settled on this scope and I can say there is no disappointment in my choice. Bright, clear optics, super tough, well made, Rainguard, and half the cost of other brands. Best part was the price. I watched this scope on Amazon.com and the price would change every day. Not a good business practice! I requested that I be emailed by Overstock.com when this scope became available and they did exactly what I asked and the price DID NOT change unlike Amazon. I couldn't be happier with my purchase from the "Big O". Thanks.Read More
I have the Bushnell Elite 3200 3 X 9 X 50 on my .270 and have used it as my primary rifle to hunt deer in Virginia on a cattle farm where the shots are all 150 to 250 yards. It is a superb scope. I bought the upgraded 4200 Elite at Overstock because the price was lower than I paid for my 3200 at a major sporting goods chain and is an even better scope. The 3 - 9 x 40 is a better size because it has a sleeker profile on your rifle than the 9 x 50. I highly recommend this scope!!Read More
A spotting scope is a good alternative to binoculars and telescopes. Spotting scopes have more range of magnification than binoculars and are easier to carry and more compact than telescopes.
Spotting scopes, sometimes referred to as monoculars, are small, telescope-like optics that began as tools used by the military. Today, they are widely used in the consumer market for hunting, bird watching, viewing ships, scoring shooting range targets and photography. Spotting scopes can mount on a common camera tripod and are quite suitable for daytime use. They provide more magnification than binoculars and are more portable than most telescopes.
Savvy hunters know that being proficient at their sport involves mastery of more than just a rifle. Hunting optics can make the difference between finding that trophy buck and finding nothing at all, and then it determines whether you hit that trophy buck in the right spot or send your bullet whizzing over his back. This hunting optics buying guide will show you how to buy hunting optics that are right for you.
Rivet guns are used to attach two pieces of metal together. A rivet gun is one of the most versatile pieces of shop equipment you can own. Rivet guns can be used to attach gutters to your roof line or side a garden shed with corrugated metal among many other uses. The easiest style of rivet gun to use is the "pop" or "snap" rivet gun. Rivets come in different diameters and lengths, just like screws and nails. Like all air guns, power in a rivet gun is generated by air pressure.
There's quite a bit of science that explains night vision, but only a few terms will be important as you choose a night vision device. When you're searching for optics and binoculars to use for night vision, you will want to pay attention to such things as light amplification, resolution and clarity. The following terms can help you understand what aspects of your night vision device will affect how well you see when you use it.
When you are building a collection of sports collectibles, you'll want to start by selecting one sport to focus on. Instead of becoming overwhelmed trying to find quality sports collectibles in every sport, you'll have better luck if you narrow your focus. If you narrow your focus, chances are you'll become quite a bit more knowledgeable in that specific area and be able to acquire more valuable sport memorabilia. Next, decide how you want to build your collection. There are many ways to collect sports memorabilia.
Stepping up from hand tools to power tools is a move that can save you a lot of time and energy. Power tools can also save you money by letting you do a home-improvement project yourself instead of hiring a contractor to do it. And it only takes a few tools to go from struggling with a job to getting professional-quality results.
When you are on the golf course to enjoy yourself, you want all the golf gear you can find to make the day better. Golf equipment accessories can make your game easier. Fortunately, there are all kinds of great golf equipment accessories available, which means every golfer can hit the course prepared. This article should educate you on some of the best golf equipment accessories.
Human eyes are not adapted to see in the dark, making natural night vision difficult. Night vision devices, however, aid your eyesight in low lighting by amplifying the surrounding light. Night vision devices can also magnify objects so they will appear closer or detect body heat through infrared light, but the main use of night vision is to see things that your eye wouldn't normally be able to see in the dark or in low light. Many hobbies, and even some jobs, require night vision.
Buying video games and controllers together in Wii bundles can help you save a lot compared to buying Wii games and accessories separately. Often, you can buy several Nintendo Wii extras bundled with an actual console, giving you a good starting collection of games, controllers and accessories right from the beginning. Here are some of the best Nintendo Wii bundles that will let you save on fun games with the controllers you'll need to play them.
Since 2001, the kinds of items that can be packed in luggage when flying have changed quite a bit. In addition to only being able to carry on liquids that are in 3-ounce bottles or less, there are several other restrictions you need to be aware of before you fly. Take a look below to learn what not to pack in bags when flying.
Hard drives are a standard feature on all computers. These electronic libraries store the software and files that your computer operates. This hard drive buying guide includes basic concepts and features that will help you to find a compatible hard drive to store important files, photos and music on your computer.
Black Friday shopping has been honed to a frenzied art, but finding the best Cyber Monday deals requires different strategies. While brick-and-mortar stores offer excellent day-after-Thanksgiving deals, Cyber Monday is one of the biggest days of the year for online shopping, and online retailers will offer plenty of great deals that day. If you're excited to take advantage of the after-Thanksgiving sales to finish up your holiday shopping (or maybe get it started), then keep reading for a few pointers that will help you find the perfect gifts at low prices.
Amateur astronomy equipment ranges from telescopes that will barely fit in the back of a truck and expensive computerized navigation systems to inexpensive binoculars and basic star maps, with everything in between. If you're a beginning hobby astronomer, where should you start? Are refracting telescopes best, or are reflecting telescopes? Should you buy the most expensive telescope you can or start small? You can ask hundreds of different questions about buying a first telescope, but a good way to begin your research is to clear up a few common myths about telescopes.
Building a DVD storage unit for kids is a fun and innovative way to involve the whole family in a home improvement project. Additionally, the end result will provide your kids with a sturdy, easy-to-use home for all of their children's movies. You will need to have a basic-to-intermediate knowledge of tools, such as a hammer, nail gun, tape measure, sandpaper and paint. In total, the project should take about 24 hours to complete. After constructing the DVD storage unit, let your kids add their favorite kids' DVDs and organize them in their own special way. Below, you'll find a list of things you'll need as well as a set of step-by-step instructions for completing your project.
With all the new video games comes the largest selection of video game systems in history. Although a few games are available to play on several different systems, in general, when you choose a video game console, you are really choosing to play the games that are made for that specific console. You'll want to consider the features you want in a video game console, but your choice should be driven by choosing which games you are interested in playing.
There are plenty of reasons why you might choose to install a shower enclosure in your bathroom. You may be converting a half bathroom into a full bathroom or seeking to scale back a full bathroom to create some extra space. Either way, the simplest way to complete this home-improvement project is to install a free-standing shower enclosure. There are plenty of shower kits available, with both glass and fiberglass walls, allowing you to create just the look and feel you want.

Do Free-To-Play Games Get a Fair Shake? 181
from the pay-seven-cents-to-agree-or-disagree dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Path Of Exile follows that model, microtransactions are and always will be purely for cosmetic items... not to mention that the game rated better than D3 when it came out (judging by the players, anyway)
Except... It's not actually true that these are all "games that are designed to exploit people for money on a continuous basis". At least some of the games that have adopted F2P models have worked very, very, hard to avoid exploiting players.
Agreed, but the underlying problem with the f2p model is the financial pressure on its developers/publisher to milk their players, as follows
1. A large majority of players play f2p games for free.
2. A small minority of players spend money on the game.
3. Games cost money to produce, and have ongoing expenses to maintain.
4. When their quota/sales target is not met, developers/publishers are under pressure to make up the difference.
5. One of the easiest ways to boost sales is to introduce items which will confer a greatly desired benefit on its purchasers. OTOH, non-buyers who cannot enjoy the greatly desired benefit will endure a comparatively degraded playing experience.
Developers/publisher will continually be tempted to intentionally degrade the players' playing experience so as to create demand for new items that will remove the obstruction. One example is EA's infamous lawnmower tax [segmentnext.com] where a previously free feature, lawnmowers was made a purchase item.
In summary, players who play f2p games have to live perpetually with the fear that the developers/publisher may at any time modify their game in any number of ways to try to gouge more cash from them. Not all f2p games gouge their players, but the risk that they may do so in the next patch is always there.
Happiness is a hard disk.

@JasonWright1 Couldn't have put it any better. Death in Heaven took the worst bits of Moffat's era (overcomplicated villain plot, making every character's actions a reflection on The Doctor) and the worst bits of RTD's era (going overboard - i.e. President of the World!) and pulled out a real stinker.
@allons_ywibblywobbly @Whogasms knows THAT MISSY TELEPORTED, NOT DIED! I'm going to assume that at some point during the first 300 years on Trenzalore there were plenty of dark deeds done by every single party involved, at that somehow The Doctor's actions really damaged Kovarian, who took off, forming her own faction.
Finale, just. Both of these stories are excellent, with open endings filled with numerous teases of the future. In both cases, you literally feel as though ANYTHING can happen next, and after the quality you have just seen on screen, you feel confident that it's going to be magnificent.
Obviously its budget, but of the 4000 people saved in a 51st century planet-sized library, were every single one of them human?
The Impossible Planet is the first alien planet we properly visit in New Who. Weird when you think about it. Very good in many ways and easily the strongest story in Season 28. The Ood were a fantastic creation.
...as was the Flood. The Waters of Mars is RTD's peak. If The End of Time had been this good, then Matt and Moffat might have had an actually impossible job. Both stories are great "base under siege" storylines - isolated, very creepy and symbolic.
However, they differ in the second half of the story. Whilst the logic is great, The Satan Pit scenes between The Doctor and The Beast don't amount to much. On the other hand, the sequence where The Doctor walks away to "Altering Lives" and the crew go one by one - especially Steffi, Roman and Ed in quick, powerful succession - that is one of my most poignant memories of all of Doctor Who. Both episodes have a slightly weak resolution but both are fantastic. Waters of Mars for me.
@Classicalbeau yes, moves in essentially. Sure, Rose dropped back every now and again, but having Clara only half in the TARDIS takes away the magic for me. Hopefully that will change in Series 9, the ending of Last Christmas possibly implied it.
The problem with a lot of those quotes is that though they are great, they aren't delivered to the audience in the same context. They don't stand out.
My gripe with Series 8 is that the wow factor has gone. Not pointless shocks like the Missy reveal, but the real sense of childlike adventure that followed the RTD era and Series 5-6 of Matt's reign too. The complicated arc in Series 6 was great but didn't mesh well with the non-arc episodes and it ended up being a messy hybrid, ruining some of that fantasy. It was a darker, complicated arc interspersed with more childlike-wonder episodes.
Series 7 tried to recapture that but made 2 fundamental flaws - it didn't change the status quo - 11 and the Ponds went stale. The 2nd flaw was the "Blockbuster of the Week". Asylum aside, there isn't a single episode in Series 7 I despise, but not one that I love either. A bit like most of Davison/Colin Baker's run in the 80s. Great ideas. Wonderful execution in places. Great scene here.... followed by a bad one. The lack of two parters and the sheer amount of things crammed into one episode left Series 7 as the most unbalanced set of scripts ever. Hardly in any episode did any side characters feel fleshed out in the way Octavian, Yvonne, Solomon (Series 3), Canton, Joan or any of the crew from The Impossible Planet. Some episodes, such as Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS and Hide had really good potential, but poor endings (and in the former case bad acting) really let them down.
Whilst the 50th was as good a spectacle as could be expected, Time was the same as the rest of Series 7. Easily needed another hour to justify some of the wonderful ideas. The plot-based questions are endless but the thematic content is wonderful. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold together. But I loved Malcolm Tucker so was keen to see what happened next.
Deep Breath was a mess until the restaurant scene and then dramatically improved - I'll let that go. The ending wasn't anyway near as open-ended or inspiring as say, Partners in Crime or The Eleventh Hour, but you felt that there was still a universe out there. But afterwards the potential seemed to vanish.
Daleks to establish the new Doctor, okay. Again, an interesting story, but the "good man" arc forced on us seemed overplayed. As did the soldiers storyline. Whilst tying Danny to Clara gave us a more RTD-emotional standing, it lost the free nature of the show. It's The Doctor and a companion on never-ending adventures through space and time, not him picking her up every week. The magic seemed to dwindle, and meeting fictional characters like Robin Hood or ridiculous science in Kill the Moon completely ruin the suspension of disbelief. The balance between the darker angles - which were great - were again meshed with the child appeal - such as the Cybermen being beaten by love AGAIN - and the diabolical In The Forest of The Night, which is so bad I can't bother to explain. Whilst Dark Water had potential, Death in Heaven threw it all away, not least through the abuse of The Brigadier, the Cybermen and The Master and the complete lack of chemistry between Clara and Danny.
However, the ending scene where Clara and The Doctor lied to each other was wonderful. The return of two-parters leaves me cautiously optimistic, but the next series needs a consistent tone, a cleverly-thought-out and balanced story arc, and dare I say it, a new PERMANENT companion to allow us to feel that childlike wonder once again. If not, then the series needs to have a heavier and darker arc. We can't have both, and that's my biggest gripe.
1 - In the Forest of the Night. Not going to bother explaining, worst story in Who history. TOWIE-level nonsense. Comparatively, The Twin Dilemma is a gem.
8 - Dark Water is great. I'm ok with The Master being female, but I think Missy is wrong. So wrong. The Master is calculating and suave, not bonkers. Moffat has genuinely gotten confused and thought this was the Joker he was writing. Otherwise, really tense, dark and good - until the Cybermen reveal.
4 - Death in Heaven is awful. Moffat said the Cybermen would be scary again? Last time I believe anyone when they say that. They did nothing. They were beaten by love again. Danny-cyberman didn't even make sense. Returning the kid made no sense. Missy's plan just seemed pointless. UNIT's treatment of her was ridiculously naive for such an organisation. And the Brigadier was insulted by that. Ending scene where Clara and 12 lie to each other was great though.
7 - Last Christmas. Mildly entertaining, but not a touch on A Christmas Carol or The Christmas Invasion. Nick Frost was great but I just couldn't accept Santa. The twists were a bit predictable, but in the end the whole things seems pointless because Clara didn't die/leave. I'm happy for her stay for Series 9, but I feel that because she has, this whole episode is a bit superfluous.
7, 6, 8. Series 8 is so overrated on here it hurts.
Listen was a mish of previous Moffat episodes and doesn't stick to a setting. As a result, it doesn't feel like one coherent episode at all and is a bit of a mess. I don't mind that there wasn't a definitive monster but I though Samuel Anderson's Orson was an awfully acted and poorly conceived character which really took away from the story. The ending in the barn had some nice touches but certainly felt as though Moffat was trying too hard to push Clara's importance. Nice tension though, it gets a 7.
Time Hiest was a bit predictable which lets it massively down - as does the ease in which the team navigated the lower levels of the bank. Interesting but not compelling villain, same goes for the guest protagonists. The Teller was good. CGI poor compared to most of the rest of recent Who. 6.
The Caretaker would have done better if it had just followed a big two-parter - even if poor, at least the stakes of Daleks in Manhatten or Time of Angels were massive, meaning the following character-based episodes (Lazarus, Venice) were much more poignant. That being said the character touches are great except for The Doctor's hatred of soldiers, which was unnecessary. The monster was weak but I'm ok with that, except for the lazy way they allow Danny to save the day. 8.
6, 6, 5
The Bells of St John was okay for the action quotient, but felt like a re-tread of lots of familiar things. Definitely with the wi-fi I felt as though Moffat was trying too hard to make something normal scary. And "snog-box" was cringey and horrible.
Akhaten is a terrible episode. No action at all. The entire episode is pure dialogue. Market scene - dialogue. First song - dialogue. In the temple - dialogue. Climax - dialogue. Sun defeated by - yes, dialogue. That being said the music is great throughout, and I liked both the opening montage of CLara's life and obviously the epic speech. Those elements save it from being more of a 3.
Cold War - one of the equally most dull episodes of New Who. Despite a great cast, I never felt the congested nature of the setting - instead it was merely bleak and boring. The Ice Warrior looked great, but I didn't like it coming out of the uniform. Clara felt completely unnecessary and some of the plot points felt far too forced for my liking, but that's Gatiss for you.
Ah, Series 7. You wonderful piece of tripe.
4, 6, 7.
AOTD is the worst Dalek story of them all. Completely undermines so much of them, the plotholes are ridiculous, the Oswin twist was the most predictable ever (though kudos for the eggs...eggs...exterminate line) and Amy and Rory felt truly unnecessary. The ending is abysmal, too - the "Doctor Who" chants were painful. And the fact that the Daleks suddenly rely on a hive mind is crap, I mean, The Doctor is such a fundamental part of their history that he cannot simply be erased.
Dinosaurs is filler. Ok, funny, dark in places. Premise doesn't achieve potential though, but fantastic CGI. Didn't really like Nefertiti or Ridder though, felt completely superfluous to the story. Bradley was brilliant as Solomon though, and as a filler episode, it was fairly entertaining.
ATCM is better, perhaps in part down to Whithouse, who is terrific. Isaac's death was great, but felt too early in the episode. Pacing problems aplenty began here in Series 7 for me, I felt as though we needed at least one or two more scenes with him before this happened. The dilemma was great, though, but Amy turned The Doctor around too quickly. He should have rigged the pod to kill Jex as he escaped and THEN realised his mistake. Also, Amy and Rory were completely pointless in this episode once again. On the whole, though, a better episode.
Rebel Flesh/Almost People - 3 and 6 - This would be an average 1-parter but is awfully thin. Sure, it's meant to be glum and isolated but the colour tone of the episodes just made it bleak and boring. NIce character moments but the pace is just so slow! The excitement and momentum of Series 6 to this point is killed straight away. The "reveal" that there was a clone Doctor was spoiled massively way before airing, and even if not it was very very very obvious and made for a dull cliffhanger. Part 2 is better as The Doctors interact - of course a flesh version of him would never be evil - and the arc comes into play more - Kovarian, Amy's conversation with the wrong Doctor, the twist at the end. Would be even higher if not for the dreadful and unnecessary CGI monster at the end.
AGMGTW - 9. Very good. Interesting characters introduced. Dorium and Manton play wonderful roles. The idea is great and the way we don't see The Doctor for 17 whole minutes at the start is tense and exciting. The twists are great but the "fall" of The Doctor is a bit melodramatic, and the end revelation of "who" River was was underwhelming. Very enjoyable and high-stakes on the whole though, and believably so, which is a lot more than can be said for other episodes - Death in Heaven, for example.
Let's Kill Hitler - 7. Best bit here is Murray Gold's soundtrack. The 1938 Berlin backdrop feels wasted and as others have said the dialogue is often clunky. Mels is shoehorned in and the backstory doesn't sit right not having seen her before. River is thoroughly annoying here, the first time I felt that way about her, and it takes endless amounts of superb acting from Matt to save this episode. I didn't like the idea it jumped forwards 3 months or the fact that The Doctor couldn't find little Melody - why didn't he just ask River before leaving Demon's Run what had happened to her?
Night Terrors - 3. I'm being generous here. Scary in places but BORING BORING BORING. Again, Matt Smith is the ONLY decent thing here, his banter with the dad is mild fun, but George is annoying as heck, Amy and Rory really frustrated me for the first time - I just didn't care. The whole setting was like the Rebel Flesh again - dull and bleak. Tonally, despite visually creepy monsters, I felt the episode wasn't tense at all.
Impossible Astronaut gets a 10. The FIRST opener in the revival to not have a new Doctor or companion to meet/settle in. IT cuts straight to the chase with action, excitement, and a shocking death - and then a twist. The way the team work so well together is great, and the way Toby Haynes works Canton's introduction to the TARDIS is brilliant. Keep up! Great ending, that astronaut sequence at the ending is hauntingly beautiful.
and The Pandorica Opens through to Day of the Moon - the strongest 5 consecutive episodes in the history of Who.
I won't labour the point, but A Christmas Carol is the greatest hour of Christmas TV/movietime ever. Absolutely magical - flying fish, shark rides, childhood ruined, silent night, timey-wimey, snow when clouds unlock, tragic love, it's perfect. Perfect. I watch it very lat every Xmas eve and always will.
Red dots? Must be Hydra bases. Crossover incomingggg
I firmly believe that Breaking Bad's Ozymandias episode (you know, the massive one where everything falls apart and crap hits the fan) is the best 45 minutes in television history. Generally, I tend not to compare to other shows, but when I think of the stakes in that program, how rich the writing and pacing is and how wonderfully character driven it is, then that has to be 10/10 quality. Given the DWTV's advice "10/10 = modern classic" (a la Blink) I can accept that Ozymandias is probably like a 12/10. But that always keeps me wary that very few Doctor Who episodes are perfect (and science fiction will always have plotholes that make things weaker on rewatch), so I try and judge fairly. Only a few episodes - Fear Her, Last of the Time Lords, In the Forest of the Night - are going to get really low scores, but at the same time, I'm not giving everything a 8/9/10 out of 10 simply because I love Doctor Who. Even within the better episodes of Who there is a massive quality range.
9, 9, 9, 3, 7 ...Last of the Time Lords is definitely in the worst five episodes ever. Tarnishes the reputation of The Sound of Drums, which is a brilliant episode as they go rogue, focusing on Martha's collapsing world. I've ignored that association here to give tSoD a well-earned 9.
Interesting article, but I can't stand most of Davison's era because of JNT's humour ban and Tegan's dreadful personality. Donna and Ten had a great back and forth relationship, but Tegan constantly berates and belittles Five way beyond the point of annoyance.
And Susan was a naff character, let's be honest.
On the other hand, with regards to Mel, she was going to have a proper "introduction" episode/serial in Season 24 before Colin Baker got sacked - and as she had clearly been shown as Six's companion in the future, it was impossible to fit it in with a new Doctor (but might have still been better than Time and the Rani).
7, 8, 5, 10, 9. Satan Pit would be 10 if it wasn't for the sheer ignorance of basing all your hopes on faith in Rose
@rowan5215 has two broken hearts @Who is the Doctor - member of CATS if we want to get nice and complicated, the Big Finish audio series Gallifrey sets up one of the characters of Romana's government (can't remember who) to go back to the 4th Doctor and set up the events of Genesis. This went against Romana's will, but she wouldn't have been president in the first place if it wasn't for The Doctor and the TARDIS... confusing!
@ElyotWren @KingoftheOod4450 Series 7 just didn't go anywhere. Matt was great but the single-episodes were poorly paced and hardly any episodes had GREAT supporting characters like we'd been treated to in Series 1-6 - think of Reinette, Harriet Jones, Craig Owens, Octavian, Canton etc... the Ponds outstayed their welcome, the impossible girl arc was dull and it really petered out over the last three episodes (Name was great first time around but on re-watch, it's horrid)
@jg007k @KingoftheOod4450 Yeah, it has the nonsense-fairlytale stuff that worked ok with 11, but badly here - Robot of Sherwood was clearly written for 11 and Forest is the worst episode of Doctor Who hands down. The lack of two-parters and cliffhangers was a bad hangover from Series 7 and therefore there was never enough excitement for the next episode. On the whole, the pacing of individual episodes was much better though, but the arc was somewhere between the two and ended up being diddly squat. I'm sorry, I agree with Capaldi but I really wasn't a Missy fan. It's like Moffat thinks The Master has fused with The Joker or something, not the remotest trace of Delgado left in the character.
And the Brigadier scene practically ruined the series for me.
Really disappointed Series 8 won, but can't expect much more with a "Best of 2014" award. The arc was dreary and the scripts were wildly inconsistent. Add in a very mediocre finale and it's hardly above the trash of Series 7.
32 days since the last Omega theory and I'm quite... oh, damn it, guys....
But nice theory. Feasibility 9/10, probability 3/10
Mummy is the only story without massive flaws. Dark Water is great as an episode, but then Death in Heaven is absolutely awful, on rewatch. Listen, Flatline and Last Christmas aren't bad.
Looking back, most of these are naff. Nothing here is close to Roman Rory being badass while The Doctor destroys a Cyber-fleet. Or an unusual alternate universe culminating with the LAST person you'd expect to come out of the pandorica (alive!). etc etc. Mummy for me.
I suspect a little more timey-wimey than Moffat's last finale. Perhaps a John Simm cameo. This will be Clara's last series in my opinion, and I think she'll definitely have a Gallifrey link.
My suggestion isn't fully formed, but I think:
There's a huge twist about Clara and she realises that she's been an agent of the Time Lords all along - or perhaps an agent of her Gallifreyan version (which was created of course, to save The Doctor). Somehow The Doctor suffers a massive setback and simply needs help from Gallifrey, and Clara enables the return of Gallifrey. Then we're thrown back into this pocket universe and it is removed from "stasis", and then we see Simm turn into Gomez and escape, who then can have the whole Series 8 arc. Because of the paradox, the Time Lords/Clara/The Doctor reluctantly agree to send through the extra regenerations as seen in "Time of The Doctor" and then the problem in the first place leaves The Doctor and Clara trapped with Gallifrey in this pocket universe. Clara then sacrifices herself to restore Gallifrey to the universe, or something like that?
Particularly in Series 7 and 8, I've noticed the music less and less, and I'm a massive Murray Gold fan (I held a seance the day he left Twitter, having peed a little the time he'd replied to me before). Obviously there's been distinctive renditions of themes such as I am the Doctor and the wonderful music to Amy's goodbye, but on the whole, I feel as though it's melted in the background much more. Perhaps that is a good thing, but it makes this poll a lot harder. There's several episodes where I can't recall a single theme from - or a really powerful moment of music either - such as Robot of Sherwood, Time Hiest and In the Forest of the Night. I'm sure there were great musical moments but as the scripts have been naff it can be harder for the music to stand out I suppose.
As an aside, I feel both this poll and the last could be centered around moments/characters rather than whole episodes. For example, I voted Mummy on visuals for The Mummy, which was excellent on the whole, but Flatline had better moments of visual work etc.
Foretold, Boneless, The Teller. The rest were naff. The Foretold was closest to the sheer horror of some of classic Who, keeping that wonderfully slow pace (on screen, at least, 66 seconds is a long death). Conversely The Boneless is one of those great inventions of New Who, daring, terrifying. The Teller would maybe be higher up if it was a real "villain".
Not much on offer here at all! Shona
Ben Miller for me. Classic villain in all the right ways. The episode was uninspiring but every scene he was in certainly made up for it.
@ElyotWren @KingoftheOod4450 I'm voting against her because I don't rate her acting. The speed she talks at, especially with sentences that could be quite poignant, make it sound as though she is rushing through the script for the first time, and I can only see Jenna, not Clara. A good example is that final scene of Mummy on the Orient Express where she changes her mind on The Doctor's way of life.
I can't tell if it's the way Moffat writes females or Jenna's acting but I hate how she unnaturally rushes lines all the time in a overly-decisive way. It's like the words are breaking through a dam, and I've never gotten used to it. That alone means Capaldi gets my vote here.
Kay as Caldwell was a really good character for the time - if done in NuWho, he would be the one-off character the audiences would really get behind. Caught between loyalty and morality, spurred on the strange goings-on that coincide with The Doctor's arrival, and then confident enough to take things into his own hands ...his character is probably the thing I remember the most about Colony in Space (apart from the dreadful 'pop' effect for the TARDIS materialising).
@Whogasms knows THAT MISSY TELEPORTED, NOT DIED! Mention him on the street, would 50%+ people know who you mean straight away by simply the name? He's a brilliant, big actor, don't get me wrong, but not quiiiiite a household name. Certainly not in the same way Michael Gambon or Kylie Mynogue are.
If Time was like Tennant's farewell, with a second episode on New Years Day and room to breathe, it would have a chance. I like the ideas, but loathe the actual portrayal of it all. Tasha Lem is cringeworthy throughout. Clara still feels useless-yet-the-magic-answer. The Weeping Angels cameo felt forced. But otherwise, much of it was brilliant but rushed way too quickly.
On the other hand I've already explained how ACC is not only the perfect Christmas Special in Who, but in all mediums of art and literature in general. Family, fish, proper use of time-travel, redemption, love, and an overwhelming Christmas vibe.
A Christmas Carol by a country mile. Last Christmas wasn't bad, but ACC was Moffat's peak. After the brilliant Series 5 he delivered a sensational tale, with wonderful flying fish, a fantastic love story, perfectly capturing the emotions of children, adults, families and The Doctor alike. The soundtrack and visuals are sensational and time travel has never been utilised better. Definitive Christmas TV. 10/10.
After that we had the brilliant Series 6 opener, but Moffat's era has gradually become less and less engaging since. Series 6 had great moments but didn't measure up and Series 7 was a complete mess. The tone has been set right in Series 8 but there hasn't been a single, standout episode for some time. Last Christmas has continued that trend. You don't know where current Who is going in the short term, and that's a problem. I had little expectation for this episode and certainly wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't blown away either. A few good twists, great tension... but the whole thing felt like another cop-out and lacked any seriously distinctive Christmas vibes. 7/10.
All I know is, I love A Christmas Carol and watch it in the very early hours of Christmas Day every year. I avoid it all year round so as not to spoil it, because I really do enjoy it once a year. As Moffat teased when promoting it - it's the most Christmassy Christmas Special you'll ever see. Apart from the obvious adaptation (or in-story inspiration), something about the love story and the flying fish reek of an unexplainable Christmas vibe.
@SonicTheHedgehogRules Yeah I'd agree. Before we saw Missy, I argued with a housemate (who was very much Female-Doctor pro) that cross-gender regeneration on Gallifrey can't be normal - but I'd accept that if it was an enforced regeneration (a la a potion from Karn in Night of the Doctor) then that's reasonable. But clearly, it's not something that happens often.
After all, how many Time Lord regenerations have there been?
13 for The Doctor
almost a dozen for The Master (including audio)
1 for the Rani (audio)
Rassilon's had a few
Romana has had 3 (audio/books)
Borusa, 3
and so on... none of these have been cross-gender, so on stats alone, the number has got to be very very small, say a 1% chance of happening.
She'd dead. It's about time a character actually died, even if they are completely dispensable. Last time that happened with any real meaning was Harriet Jones? Can't think of anyone more recent. Jenny's double-death-and-return in Name of The Doctor being a good example of why this was necessary. That being said, I've never felt any overwhelming attachment to Osgood (though the same could be said of everything since "The Wedding of River Song")
@Torrowan The Doctors each have plenty in common. Missy has nothing in common with Delgado. Moffat's truly ruined The Master for me.
@Antee991166 @Doctavarium can't wait for Christmas @Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen @Alleigh I think 25 minutes is too short, but if we're talking, say 3 3-parters and a 4-parter for a series, then I'd love it. Ongoing arcs are better than "Promised Land" references or Missy cameos here and there. Cheaper to produce (sets etc) and allows better pacing and more believable stakes, for me. Win win all around.
@Doctavarium can't wait for Christmas @Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen @Alleigh The lack of cliffhangers hurt this series, for me. I like the anticipation of waiting for the next week. Even if easily resolved, a cliffhanger is far better than simply a trailer.
@troughton who? @Gustaff @ilyootha Have you seen him in The Thick of It opposite Capaldi? He starts slow but by Series 3 is an absolute star. Makes you smile with anticipation every time he comes on screen.
Delgado shaped the character. His charisma was brilliant. The "crippled" versions are great, but for me only a desperate aspect of the character. Ainley and Roberts are enjoyable in their own ways, but Delgado steals it for me.
Series 5, then Series 1. After that it's a toss-up, they're all very inconsistent in their own ways. Doomsday has a nostalgia feel to me and certainly isn't the awful deus ex machina that S3 and S4 are, whilst S6 and S7 both suffered massively from being undercooked 1-parters. Death in Heaven really didn't excite me at all, comes somewhere in the middle.
@The Dreamer wants her Who Christmas NOW! It's practically 2 series though, 8 episodes in 7b, plus Asylum, Snowmen, Day and Time (which are feature-length) and that's a whole series worth. It's been 2.5 years since we first saw her as well. I feel - unless we have some adventures with some of her splinter versions - that we're done with her story.
Genesis of the Daleks - Season 12
Destiny of the Daleks - Season 17
Resurrection of the Daleks - Season 21
Revelations of the Daleks - Season 22
Remembrance of the Daleks - Season 25
Of course Doctor Who had massive ups and downs during this period, but the average gap here is about three years. Although the end idea from "Into the Dalek" leaves us with Rusty turning on the Daleks - and giving a fair bit of future potential - I'm happy for Series 9 to be Dalek-free. And if that is the case, don't do an Asylum and force them in the Series 10 opener. I hated Asylum passionately. Let it comes naturally.

Bill Would Allow Loaded Guns in Cars Without Concealed Carry Permit
An Alabama legislator wants to change state law so that people can carry a loaded pistol in their vehicle without a concealed carry permit. Republican Sen. Scott Beason of Gardendale said Wednesday that people should not have to pay for their 2nd Amendment right to carry their weapons. Current law allows people to carry their pistol in their vehicle without a permit, but the weapon has to be unloaded, locked away and out of reach. Beason said an unloaded weapon is of no use to the driver. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a public hearing Wednesday and will vote next week. Bobby Timmons, executive director of the Alabama Sheriffs' Association, says he believes people should have a background check before carrying a loaded weapon on the road.

Richard Matheson: RIP to a real legend

Re: Richard Matheson: RIP to a real legend
He is legend, indeed. A quiet legend, but still a legend. It's mind-boggling to think of the extent of his work and the influence he had on many generations of readers and fellow writers.
When I was a young man in the early 80s, I read an interview with him in
Twilight Zone
magazine, in which he talked about
The Night Killers
, his third Kolchak script, which went unproduced in favor of the TV series. I wrote him a letter, asking if he had a copy of that script that I could buy, since I was such a huge Kolchak fan (heh-- I was about twenty, so perhaps a bit naive). Of course, he didn't, but he sent me back a very nice letter telling me so and explaining why, which I thought was great of him.
Years later, a hardcover collection of all three of his Kolchak scripts came out, which I bought-- when it came, it was autographed, which I hadn't even expected.
RIP, Mr Matheson. The world would not be the same without you.

A former Navy sailor who allegedly date raped a woman he met on ChristianMingle.com may have used the dating site to prey on other women, California police said Monday. Sean Patrick Banks, 37, used a fake name to contact a woman who he allegedly sexually assaulted in November, and investigators believe that he used additional aliases to contact other women, ABC News reported. They have appealed for women across the country who encountered Banks to come forward, believing Banks travelled frequently. "We're looking to see if there are any other victims," Nicholass told ABCNews.com. "We're trying to locate other victims who recognize him by his face, because they may not know his real name is Sean." On the site, Banks used the aliases "Rylan Butterwood" and "Rylan Harbough." He was charged with two counts of sexual assault and burglary for the attack at the woman's home in Mesa, the New York Daily News reported. Banks has posted a $500,000 bail and pleaded not guilty.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I'm a 45 year-old male so I like to use simple and effective but multifunctional products when it comes to my daily skin care. I want my sunscreen to be transparent, light in texture but moisturizing enough for my combination skin, noncomedogenic (it will not clog pores) and shine-free. Keeki Pure & Simple Sunscreen meets all these criteria and the price is just right. I use SPF 15 every day during the winter months, and SPF 30 during the spring and summer months and I never get burned no matter how much time I stay under the sun.
I ordered this and did not read the ingredients carefully. It has OM Cinnimate which is questionable. Also, the fragrance is cloying.

New YearsPublished 10:16am Wednesday, January 16, 2013
To the editor:
There was a great crowd on main street for the New Year's Eve dropping of the ball at the clock tower, with dancing on the upper level. Walking to the coffee shop at 7:15 the next morning I was really impressed by how clean the upper level and the street area in front of the clock were after the revelry.
I saw one paper cup out of place. Congratulations to everyone who helped make our downtown attractive the day after a party.

Celebrate Black History Month in Rockford
Celebrate Black History Month in Rockford
By Molly Fleming, Staff Writer
February is coming to a close, but Black History Month celebration continues to thrive in the community. Rockford had some exciting events to conclude this month-long tribute to African-American contributions to the country.
Wednesday, Feb. 26, there will be a guest lecture by Bobby Seale, the founder of the Black Panther Party, at Rock Valley College. Seal is one of the last surviving creators of one of the more radical social movements in American history. He continues the spirit of social change as a prolific speaker and author.
In his talk, From the Sixties to the Future, Seale recounts the protest movements of the 1960s and 70s, and the conditions which gave rise to the Black Panther Party. He brings the past protest movements full circle and shows how times have changedhopefully for the better. Today, Seale says, the issues focus on not only civil and human rights, but also environmental problems, new-millennium political issues and global economics, and how all interconnect.
Seale has authored several books, including Sieze The Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton, and A Lonely Rage, his autobiography. He is the founder of REACH, (Reclaiming, recycling and re-evolving: Ecological economic enviro-empowerment; Around all peoples activity; Creative-cooperational; Humanism.)
Seales lecture runs from 7:30-8:30 p.m., and a light refreshment and book signing will follow after his talk. The event is brought to us by RVCs Black Student Alliance. For information, call 921-4138.
Thursday, Feb. 27, there will be a dinner and fashion show hosted by RVCs Black Student Alliance. Attendees can sample a genuine soul-food and get a taste of authentic African-American cuisine, as well as experience the colors and fashions of the culture. The event runs from 7 to 9 p.m., and tickets cost $15 for adults, $7 for students. The celebration will be at Rock Valley Colleges Stenstrom Center for Career Education, 4151 Samuelson Rd. (next to Jefferson High School.). Tickets will be available at the door. For information, call 921-4138.
A film presentation featuring the directorial debut of Maya Angelou, Down in the Delta, will be shown at the Rockford Public Librarys auditorium (facing Mulberry). The film is a story wherein big city meets small town, young meet old, parents reconnect with children, and life for everyone becomes something they never suspected. Angelou is an award-winning poet, author and storyteller who has become famous enough to be satirically mocked by David Allen Grier and Tracy Morgan on Saturday Night Live. The film begins at 7:30 p.m., and there is no charge. For information, call 965-6731.
Rockford Urban Ministries is hosting a panel discussion/program on Civil Rights Memories Thursday, Feb. 27.

The program will be at Christ United Methodist Church, 4509 Highcrest Rd., and starts at 7 p.m. As all Urban Ministries events, its free. Call 964-7111 for information.
Thats the sum-up of Black History Month in Rockford but, as noted earlier, the celebration truly lasts all year in the concerts and shows around the area featuring music popularized by African-American people. Any blues, gospel, rock n roll, R n B or jazz that is displayed in town is the result of developments made by the culture and should be recognized and appreciated. Enjoy!

HOUSTON -- Paradigm has unveiled Paradigm Epic, an open and integrated platform included in the Paradigm 2014 release. In addition to Epic, Paradigm 2014 presents workflows for full-azimuth imaging, tomography, formation evaluation, facies analysis and modeling. Paradigm Epic will be released in stages, beginning with the infrastructure that will unify Paradigm's suite of applications into a single integrated console, scheduled for release this year. Connectors to third-party platforms, such as Petrel, JavaSeis and ArcGIS, will also become available in 2013, and early 2014, augmenting pre-existing connections into OpenWorks, GeoFrame and OpenSpirit.
Paradigm applications are already integrated at the database level through the Epos infrastructure. Epic will add a common user interface to this integration, reducing the learning curve between applications, and making information shareable in real time.
The new platform ensures unprecedented interconnectivity among third-party applications. Developers will be able to integrate their applications into Epic royalty-free, using either an application-level plug-in, or through the underlying Epos database. Developers connecting into the platform will be free to build similar plug-ins for any other vendor. The new architecture will support the first truly open database for E&P data.

Bill Owens: Suburbanites and Socialites
Internationally recognized for his depictions of Northern California suburban life in the1970s, Bill Owens' photographs demonstrate his interest in documenting the ordinary lives of middle-class girls and women.
A subset of a larger body of work entitled Suburbia, these photographs raise questions about the role of women in the early 1970s, the importance of community and social organizations, and the cultural differences between suburban and urban parts of the greater Bay Area during that time period.
Like a visual anthropologist, Owens astutely recorded the customs, symbols, and social relationships that characterized American middle-class culture in the 1970s. Owens was a photojournalist for the Independent, a local newspaper in Livermore, California, and on weekends documented his surroundings with the clarity of an insider. His photographs document more than ordinary events, capturing the aspirations and realities of being female in suburban society.
Bill Owens: Suburbanites and Socialites is curated by Mills College undergraduates Meghan Adkins, Melissa Mize, Sadie Padial, Clare Schneider, Sophie Sterling and Veronica Sutter. Their essays in the accompanying exhibition catalogue and their comments on the audio tour reflect their interests and questions about these photographs from the vantage point of women in the 21st century. The works in the exhibition are from MCAM's permanent collection and are a recent gift from Robert Harshorn Shimshak and Marion Brenner.

Service Award Goes to 'Hands for Harvest' Founders...

The GACAC Service Award recognizes alumni and former students of Gustavus who have made distinctive commitments and contributions to the service of others. The College and the Association celebrate the efforts of members of the College community who participate in service activities through volunteer work, involvement in the church, and extraordinary professional accomplishments. The Dahlke brothers are being recognized for starting the non-profit organization "Hands for Harvest." On an acre of their parents' land, Travis and Nathan started a volunteer farm in 2009 that has since yielded thousands of pounds of potatoes and hundreds of pounds of onions and carrots, all of which are donated to several different food shelves around the state.

Website Tips
People Scan, So Break Up Large Chunks of Text... People read the Web differently than a printed document—basically, they are less engaged and scan everything. In fact, eye tracking studies show that people scan Web pages in an F-shaped pattern. In 2006, the research showed that you have four seconds to communicate what you need to, and the GTS folks are guessing that number has only gotten smaller. Therefore, it is very important to use headings and lists to break up large chunks of text, and be concise.

How many of these probiotic foods have you had in the past few days?
Buttermilk Yogurt Cottage Cheese Kefir Sauerkraut Pickled beets
I usually try to eat yogurt at least twice a week to get the good bacteria, but recently I have discovered Kefir. It's like a yogurt smoothie that taste's a little sweet but still tart and has twice the live active cultures as my favorite yogurt!

Kakashi has a young looking face, Obito would have the same aged face, Tobi has old wrinkles and an aged face. Not Obito! The other bodies that
Kabuto located to steal their DNA were preserved in graves, caskets and such. BUT Obito wasn't buried in a box or prepared he was pure maggot food, you need more than just bones for Edo Tensei. Obito LOVED the Hidden Leaf and wasn't filled with hatred. Obito wasn't even able to kill some mediocre ninjas when he died and his Sharingan barely awakened at that point, so how would he be able to read the hidden scriptures to know the history of the Uchiha to be able to control the Nine Tails? Obito would've been a teenager when he faced off with the Fourth, manipulated the Nine Tails and as if that wasn't enough, you're saying Obito took the 1st Hokage's DNA, schemed with Orichimaru and controlled all of Akatsuki?? Those guys in Akatsuki would not have followed some kid brat! Tobi has access to all kinds of eyes from quality ninja, why would he want Obito's sharingan?
