You Know You're An Under30CEO When…
When you think of fashion ads you probably think of supermodels, athletes or actors. But what about tech CEOs? They probably are not your first thought but that is exactly what has recently happened. David Karpp founder of Tumblr was featured in GQ and not to long ago Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai of Foursquare were in Gap ads. It looks like tech is getting trendy.
Who will be the next young gun making fashion statements?

Jingle Bell Rock
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
1) Sam has affection for this song because, when she was very young, she tap-danced to it for a Christmas recital. Her parents told her she was wonderful. Do you have any memories from a school/church program or pageant — either as a child onstage or an adult in the audience? none that I can remember
2) Ok, she admits it: After too many cups of holiday cheer, Sam did a few steps of her "Jingle Bell Rock" routine at last year's company Christmas party. Have you ever done anything at a coworker get together that you now regret? nope
3) Since that unfortunate Christmas 2012 incident, Sam can't even look at a cup of eggnog. How about you? Do you like eggnog? I don't care for eggnog at all
4) For special events, Sam slips on her favorite piece of jewelry: a charm bracelet that once belonged to her grandmother. Do you have a special treasure from a previous generation? I don't
5) The only Christmas card Sam has received so far in 2013 is from her insurance agent. How about you? Have any holiday cards arrived yet? I have received 3 so far. This is the first year that I haven't sent any out.
6) Because of the chill in the air, Sam gave her dog his Christmas gift — a sweater — early this year. He's already gotten compliments on it. Are there any pets on your gift list? We have a cat and a dog. I have bought their presents already.
7) Do you need snow to get "into the spirit?" NO! I so wish I lived in a state that there wasn't any snow! I am not a winter person!
8) Are you going to get/have you gotten a flu shot this year? haven't gotten one, and have no plans to get one
9) December is an important fundraising month for charities. Here's your chance to plug a worthy cause that means a lot to you. Breast Cancer and Lung cancer are the biggest two to me right now. So fi you can please give to any charities involving these two devastating illnesses!!!
One Response to "Saturday 9"
Cancer has probably touched every household. Thanks for reminding us to include them in our yearend gift giving.

An Update on Climate Change Legislation
This week the organisation known as GLOBE met in London and launched its biannual review of national climate legislation. The GLOBE Climate Legislation Study is up to its third edition and covers the ongoing efforts in 33 countries. Of these, GLOBE claims that 18 countries have made substantial progress, 14 have made limited progress and one country has been singled out for taking a backwards step.[read more]
Two Studies Now Confirm Extreme Weather Caused by Global Warming
A recent analysis shows how the distribution of summer temperatures has shifted in recent decades, to the extent that there has been a notable change in the frequency of what were extreme outlying events. This in turn led NASA to assert that "the recent bouts of extremely warm summers, including the intense heat wave afflicting the U.S. Midwest this year, very likely are the consequence of global warming".[read more]
Are Canada's oil sands to blame for rising atmospheric CO2?
In a recent New York Times opinion piece, NASA climate scientist James Hansen again puts forward his very compelling argument for strong action on limiting global CO2 emissions. He argues that Canadian oil sands is illustrative of an ongoing global trend to extract or mine increasingly challenging reserves of oil, gas and coal and bring them to market, a behaviour that could mean "game over for the climate".[read more]
Starting to Understand Extreme Weather
With a new report coming from the IPCC on managing the risks associated with extreme weather and continued weather phenomena attracting media attention, it is more important to attempt to get to grips with the science and statistics behind this rapidly emerging field of research. Work along such lines is starting to develop.[read more]
What drives James Hansen on climate change
James Hansen, a climate scientist who certainly needs no introduction to regular readers of this site, has given a TED talk about what motivates him to activism on climate change. I beg you to find 18 consecutive distraction-free minutes to watch this video of his talk: I wish we had many, many more people like...[read more]
Thoughts on Keystone XL
James Hansen used to say he couldn't imagine a better person to head the DOE than Stephen Chu. Both men entered political life to do something about getting civilization to respond to the evidence for climate change. Yet the Keystone XL issue has them on opposing sides. Hansen led those protesting the...[read more]
When Changing A Lightbulb Isn't Enough…
What have you done lately about climate change? In the last two weeks, about 700 Americans – with more to come – have been arrested in front of the White House, calling on President Obama to block the construction of the $7 billion, 1700-mile Keystone pipeline project that will bring Canadian tar sands oil to largest...[read more]
NASA's James Hansen Says Nuclear Is Safer Than Fossil
Image via Wikipedia In a Treehugger interview on Climate Change and Intergenerational Justice, NASA's James Hansen says it is very unfortunate that "a number of nations have indicated that they're going to phase out nuclear power… The truth is, what we should do is use the more advanced nuclear power. Even the old nuclear power is much...[read more]
Our Climate Fate On The Toss Of A Coin?
Perhaps in response to the initial findings of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project and the reported disappointment of some climate skeptics after the lead of the project testified before a Congressional committee, the Wall Street Journal Europe published an article on April 5th by former commodity market statistician Douglas Keenan which questions the significance, in statistical terms, of the warming of the planet over the last century.[read more]

Hansen on reticence and the threat of sea level rise
James Hansen has published a short piece, Scientific reticence and sea level rise [PDF], which I highly recommend.

Delay is dangerous because of system inertias that could create...[read more]

Denis Hayes explains why you should come to the "largest climate rally ever" on the DC Mall April 25 - Come hear everyone from James Hansen to James Cameron, from Sting to me. Let's show the Tea Partiers what a real crowd looks like.
Earth Day Network is organizing a huge event on the Mall in Washington DC on April 25. The goal is to demand tough, effective climate legislation and a swift transition away from 19th century energy sources. "So what?" you may be asking yourself. There have been a lot of climate rallies over the last 25 years and Congress still hasn't...[read more]
Hansen calls climate change "predominant moral issue of the 21st century," slams Congress, Cantwell-Collins
The country's top climatologist, NASA's James Hansen, writes in HuffPost: The predominant moral issue of the 21st century, almost surely, will be climate change, comparable to Nazism faced by Churchill in the 20th century and slavery faced by Lincoln in the 19th century. Our fossil fuel addiction, if unabated, threatens our children...[read more]

GPOR - Take Advantage Of The Ridiculous Rebound And Sell Sell Sell
I have been in GPOR for over 3 years (i actually did a secondary at $8 per share) and have seen how this company trades. Up until late last year it was a straight rocket ship up but their last acquisition and switch towards Gas over oil while looking smart in the near term definitely took some shine off the rose
The one thing you always need to know about GPOR is that they LOVE doing deals, and with deals come Stock Offerings and Debt Offerings which make the people who give price targets to GPOR biased
It is rare to ever see a downgrade on this stock, especially from an I-bank who has done a deal over the past 2 years (GPOR likes to have 7-10 I-banks as co-writers on their deals), so dont expect a downgrade anytime soon and always expect a defense of the name when it drops down
BUT, as a holder what you will find is that the stock suddenly hits air pockets on no news, which would represent the smart institutions lightening up or getting out as even the most bullish of analysts will write in their reports that GPOR trades 2 multiple points more expensive than its peers but that is justified by its great UTICA acreage..
HOWEVER, when the company fails to execute, as it did in Q4 and apparently in Q1, and warns that production will be back-end loaded for 2014, and the stock reverses higher on blind analysts calls backing and defending the company, guess what..... AIR POCKET AHEAD
I plan to get back in around $55, in the meantime, I can find far better value in the energy space like EOX. EXXI (way cheap to the group with poor execution), and my favorite name GST - which will likely have an activist investor adding value over the next quarter
Disclosure: I am short GPOR.
GNI Follow-UP $5.75 Dividend will be the TopPer the distribution release
"we anticipate that 2012 wlll be another good year for the Trust, though it is not
expected to reach the historical record earnings achieved in 2011" .
Total Dividends were $15 in 2011. If you assume the economy slows a bit - and apply a 20% haircut to 2012 - you get total dividends of $12 - or $3 per share on average in 2012 - about half of this latest record dividend
See the VALE news last week about cutting ore prices and throw in a typical Minnesota blizzard to freeze up the shipping channels
and we are back to $2 per share dividend in Q1.
even though the cost to short might be 20% or more- it the stock pops at all on the lastest dividend annoucement - it will be worth shorting - as the stock typically trades off much greater than the dividend on the ex date
Pension ReBalance This WeekWitn month-end approaching and treasuries having outperformed equity by approx 10% in both August and September (as of 9/23), Pension funds may be planning a major rebalance away from fixed and into equities for month end.
If we get any type of bounce in the market - this will certainly add fuel to the fire

During the day of action, the team will be visiting residents to encourage them to protect their property by marking valuables with SmartWater kits.
SmartWater is a forensic based security marking fluid that can be used on property from bikes, electrical items and jewellery to help deter criminals.
Marking items with security kits such as SmartWater can improve the chances of police returning any items if they are stolen and recovered.
Officers will be on hand to offer crime prevention advice during the day and will be speaking to residents about any neighbourhood concerns.
More information is available by calling the Safer Neighbourhood policing team on 101 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

The Minnesota Vikings in 2012 had a great rookie class, and they were a big reason for the team's success. In this year's training camp, the Vikes are grooming a whole new group of rookies, including 3 first round draft picks.
In this year's draft, the Vikings went out and got 3 playmakers at 3 important positions, Wide Receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, Defensive Tackle Sharrif Floyd, and cornerback Xavier Rhodes. Now they are in Training Camp getting ready for the season, and while they have all the talent, being in the NFL is a learning process.
"It's coming along, it's not where it should be. We still have a lot of time for it to get there, but at the end of the day, we know we are going to be there, we work really hard at practice, just trying to compete and just trying to get better," Wide Receiver Cordarrelle Patterson said.
Patterson was the 29th overall pick and the Vikings traded back into the first round to get him. He has explosive ability, but it would mean nothing if he wasn't on the same page with starting Quarterback Christian Ponder, and the wideout is happy with how they are gelling.
"I say it's good, Christian...he's a great guy, he always tells me to be patient with myself cause in college I liked to rush things and get out of the break, but he tells me to just be patient and it's gonna come to you," Patterson said.
On the defensive line, Floyd was the 23rd overall pick, who was praised for his quickness for a 300 pound lineman. He has an all-pro teammate at his position in Kevin Williams, and the former Florida Gator is taking advantage of his teammate.
"I talk to Kevin {Williams} every chance I get. He's been doing it for awhile, he knows a little bit of a little bit, so I get under him every chance to just talk to him, talk a little ball with him," Defensive Tackle Sharrif Floyd said.
In the secondary the Vikings took Rhodes with the 25th pick. Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams points out all you have to do is look at him too see what he brings to a team.
"He's big, he's long, he has a great attitude. We talk here about being a smart football player, every indicator shows that he is going to be physical," Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams said.
While getting used to the NFL game is hard work, especially for first year players, the newest members of the Minnesota Vikings are happy to be wearing purple.
"Really glad to be here, glad to be a Viking, and just learning every day. It's a great experience," Floyd said.
And you can see how the rookies perform when they play their first pre-season game August 9th against the Houston Texans.

Description: Im a crotch watcher. While we are already well acquainted with Pedro Lomas huge prick, what I couldnt take my eyes off as this scene opens is the impressive bulge Renato Morales is sporting in his shorts. Hes a sexy boy with some promise in his pants! Its a promise he keeps, too. Hes not as girthy as Pedro, but hes nothing to be ashamed of. He cant seem to take his eyes off of Pedros cock, though, until hes mesmerized by it and leans over to give it a taste. When Pedro starts fucking him, its not immediately evident that he will be able to handle such a big piece up his ass. He makes it through, though, and takes Pedros long, slow fucking without any complaining. Its not long after he pulls himself off that torture device before hes draining his nuts on his own stomach while Pedro takes matters into his own hands and does the same.

Leechburg's Barto claims school's first WPIAL golf title
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Matt Barto dislikes slow play, but that wasn't an issue for him Monday morning because the Leechburg junior was in the first group to tee off in the WPIAL Class AA championship.
But playing fast also can have its disadvantages in tournament golf. Like having to wait — and wait — for the rest of the field to finish.
Scoreboard-watching for hours after his round, the anxious Barto finally breathed a sigh of relief when the field finished and nobody threatened his clubhouse lead — a solid 1-over par 73 that gave Barto his school's first golf title at Youghiogheny Country Club in McKeesport.
"It was great to get out early and fly like that," said Barto, last year's runner-up. "I don't have a routine. I see the shot and hit it. I just kept getting nervous when they'd add names (to the leaderboard) and I thought mine dropped."
Instead, Barto simply set a pace that no one could catch. The kid who topped his tee shot on the first hole of the championship at the same course two years ago, topped the field this time.
"He's a worrier," Leechburg coach Heath Shimer said. "But he cares so much about his game. He works so hard and puts in the time. I don't know if, in my tenure, I'll coach another one like him."
Three seniors — Jesse Vensel of McGuffey, Darren Carone of Shenango and Matt Cioffi of Neshannock — tied for second after posting 75s. Sewickley Academy junior Keenan Hickton was fifth at 77.
The top 16 players earned spots in the PIAA Western Regional qualifier Oct. 15 at Tom's Run Golf Course in Blairsville.
Barto's round included four birdies, which had him at 2-under through 14. That turned out to be a cushion because he bogeyed three of the final four holes to close somewhat frustrated.
"I played too safe for how good I was hitting it, if that makes sense," Barto said. "There was no need for me to back off some shots, but I did. I was hitting it oddly far."
He drove the uphill, 274-yard third hole and made a tap-in birdie. He had a 60-yard pitch left on the 365-yard 9th, and had only 40 yards in to the 340-yard 18th.
Another qualifier, Kittanning's Jordan Klodowski, who tied for ninth, played in Class AAA last year, but Kittanning dropped due to enrollment.
"There's no difference in the quality of golfers," Klodowski said. "There are a lot of good players out here. Barto played great. He doesn't have many misses, and when he does, he doesn't miss bad."

Letters: 'fiscal cliff'
As often is the case, Charles Krauthammer's view of what this president is doing (or not doing) regarding the negotiations with the House over the upcoming tax hikes and debt situation is dead on ("Obama's power play," Opinion, Dec. 8).

Anyone who uses their brain and follows this commentator and the actions of this president – for over four years now – knows it. The "Hammer" writes how Obama's real goal is not to divert our country from the so-called fiscal cliff but to break the opposition party, thus ensuring Democratic and big government future reign, not to mention our "fundamental transformation" (to quote the POTUS) into a European socialist democracy. That is why Obama has not budged from his initial offer except to "up the ante." When he sent Geithner in with the so-called counter-offer to the Repubs, he essentially demanded more – like his own unlimited credit card on the debt ceiling, something that constitutionally only the House can do. Even wanting the tax rate upped on the "rich" is bogus – it will only pay for 8.5 days of biggumment spending. (But it serves wonderfully his usual con game of class warfare.)
Krauthammer's answer to the Repubs – don't play. Let the very man who racked up trillions in debt, (and future debt, when you consider Obamacare) did nothing in his first four years to avert this moment and ignored his own debt commission take us over the cliff and take the blame, for once.
It won't be easy, what with [those] in the mainstream media covering for him in a pop culture that worships personality, not experience (Fox's "our lord and savior") and in a country where it seems that more and more people are content to be ignorant. But when the pain of the middle-class tax hike sets in (and be sure of this, it is coming either sooner or later under this government), maybe then they will wake up from their useless utopian dream. – Holly Ritter, Normal Heights
There is much talk in the news regarding the approaching cliff that America faces. The truth is that our country crossed the line into uncharted waters when Mr. Obama was elected in 2008.
I love this country and all that it has meant to me growing up and living here. God has blessed us and we seem to be oblivious to the fact. Obama was elected president in 2008 on a "hope and change" message. We got change and it wasn't what many were expecting. He ran against a totally decent, eminently qualified man this year and won. Obama is neither decent or qualified.
He won in spite of the damage he has done in four short years. He won without telling us what he plans to do! The best candidate lost. This election will exact a huge toll on America. If only the average voter had bothered to understand what's happening in Europe we might have had a different result. The big-government president will be gone in four years but his legacy of broken promises will linger for decades. Regrettable. – Bob Annett, La Mesa
The House Republicans reportedly offered $800 billion in revenue, but the administration insists that they have to have increased taxes on the upper 2 percent of taxpayers. The GOP should then publicly and frequently offer two choices. Choice one: to extend all the Bush tax cuts permanently, $800 billion in revenue by eliminating tax loopholes and $2.4 trillion in spending cuts. Choice two: to extend all Bush tax cuts permanently EXCEPT for the upper 2 percent, revenue from the upper 2 percent from increased taxes, and $2.4 trillion in spending cuts. – Charles D. French, Point Loma

Dear Carolyn: My soon-to-be first grader is in a small camp. There happens to be a handful of boys a few years older that he has taken a liking to, and he has been picking up bad things. The other day he told me, "Girls drink Pepsi, so they can get sexy; boys go to college, so they can get knowledge."
I know he doesn't get exactly what he's saying, but he knows it's a put-down to girls. I could see this coming out of a 9-year-old, but it really hit me hard coming from a 6-year-old. My husband and I have talked to him about hanging out with good kids, not emulating bad behavior, and that girls are as smart as boys.

Dorfman: Can you predict the economy for 2014?
Richard Welch, an accountant from Ohio, won the 2013 Derby of Economic Forecasting.
Contestants in my Derby must attempt to guess the year-end level of six economic items: the growth of the economy, the level of inflation, the interest rate on 10-year government bonds, the price of a barrel of oil, the level of U.S. retail sales in December, and the unemployment rate.
Welch, a former fund accountant with JP Morgan Chase in Columbus, Ohio, gained his victory by placing first in guessing the interest rate on 10-year bonds, and tying for first on the inflation rate.
Thirty-seven people entered the contest this year, and as usual they represented a wide variety of professions. Contestants in 2013 included financial planners and professional investors, a judge, a mayor, a plumbing inspector, a doctor, and a retired cabinet maker.
Everyone missed
I have often said that people can predict anything except the future. Virtually all contestants missed the mega-recession of 2008, the strong jump in oil prices in 2009, and the feebleness of economic growth in 2012.
When the future looks like the recent past, people usually do OK. But they miss major changes, almost always.
This year, everyone missed on the unemployment rate. It fell from 7.8 to 6.6 percent at year's end. But no one guessed as low as 6.6 percent. Thirty-five contestants figured it would be 7.0 percent or more.
The two people who came closest on the unemployment number were William Gyurko, a retired plant supervisor, and David Ogden, a retired marketer and researcher on the pharmaceutical industry. Both guessed 6.9 percent. That helped propel the two of them into a tie for second place in the contest.
The vast majority of contestants also missed the boat by overestimating inflation. In 2012 all 23 contestants guessed too high for inflation. In 2013, 33 of the 37 guessed too high.
Winners' predictions
Welch figures that "things will improve" for the economy this year, but that with the Federal Reserve "tightening a little," interest rates will rise. He believes that consumer spending is likely to be strong because of pent-up demand from the bad years during and after the 2007-2009 recession.
Ogden of Montclair, N.J., is also in the optimistic camp. He expects that 2014 "will be in general better than 2013," with a housing recovery leading the way. He adds that he expects economic progress to continue over the long term because of the virtues of "free markets and capitalism."
Gyurko, who lives in Lakeland, N.J., thinks that 2014 will be "not quite as good as 2013." Like Welch, he expects interest rates to rise. Unlike Welch, he thinks a rate increase will cause the economy to "slow down" and "plateau."
Contest rules
Would you like to try your hand at economic forecasting? Everyone is welcome, from full-time economic professionals to rank amateurs — and both have won the contest over the years.
To enter, you must submit your answers to six questions by email to email@example.com. If you don't like email, you can write to John Dorfman, Thunderstorm Capital, 1 Liberty Square, fifth floor, Boston, MA 02109. Entries must be time-stamped or postmarked by midnight, March 11.
Be sure to include your name, occupation and phone number. If you win, I must be able to reach you for an interview.
Here are the six questions.
• The U.S. economy, measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew 1.9 percent in 2013 in real (inflation-adjusted) terms. What will GDP growth be in 2014?
• Inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index, was 1.6 percent in 2013. What will it be this year?
• The interest rate on 10-year government bonds stood at 3.03 percent as of Dec. 31, 2013. What will that rate be on Dec. 31, 2014?
• A barrel of oil cost $98.42 at year-end 2013. What will it cost at the end of 2014?
• Retailers rang up $438.8 billion in sales in December 2013. What will retail sales add up to in December 2014?
• Unemployment fell to 6.6 from 7.8 percent in 2013. Where will the unemployment rate stand at the end of this year?
You are not required to state the reasons behind your guesses, but if you wish to, I will find them interesting.
If you win the contest, you will receive a trophy. Second and third places carry no prize but glory.
John Dorfman is chairman of Thunderstorm Capital in Boston and a syndicated columnist. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

His Laugh is to die for,
Bottle to keep it,
Accept it,
Reject it,
Inhale it
Dicect it.
Early morning,
Watching the death of a sun,
killing the perfict night,
He has to leave.
But will return,
The taste of Ciggarets,
No smoke to leave me,
I have smoked none,
But the feeling remains,
Kill the night,
Stain the snow with sunlight,
And impureify my beautiful life.
Finally a love I can feel.
A life I can live,
A feeling I can't erase.

It's in one of Lexington's most upscale neighborhoods.
But a house is now condemned, after becoming overrun with rats.
Officials first heard about the problem yesterday at the home on Glen Abbey Circle in the Andover neighborhood.
They say when they arrived, they found filthy conditions inside.
Officials with the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department say several agencies, including theirs, were called to the house Wednesday.
Once there, they found rats had overrun it. That's because officials found piles of garbage inside, which the rats were using for food.
Officials are now working to clean up the house. But they're warning neighbors to look out for rats. They say once their food supply is gone from the house, they may run to nearby homes to look for food.
The health department is setting traps around the neighborhood, hoping to catch the rats.
The condemnation order means officials can do anything from cleaning up the mess inside, to tearing down the house.
Andover Hills neighbors met Thursday night at Crossroads Christian Church to address the rodent problem and to discuss ways to fix it. Many are concerned the pests may invade their homes if the rats aren't properly taken care of.
Members of the Fayette County Health Department were also on hand to offer suggestions on how to rodent-proof their homes and what agencies to contact should they have a problem.

Despite a noble effort on the part of one young Dane, the Swiss Open finals will feature none other than Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan, again. No big surprise here. These guys are the Nadal/Federer of badminton no doubt about it. Jan O Jorgensen had a fantastic tournament here, he played the role that I was expecting Andrew Smith to play by making a breakthrough. This will no doubt solidify him as the next Dane to look out for, and will do wonders for his confidence as well. He wasn't enough for Lee Chong Wei however, Lee won the match 21-12, 20-22, 21-9.
On the other side of the draw Lin Dan knocked out his teammate Chen Jin 21-13, 21-14. Never know what the deal was there as anytime you have a China vs China match you can assume it will end up like a Williams sister duel, with a preordained result. Anyway, my money is on Lin Dan for this one. Of course that is the smart money, however with less pressure Lee Chong Wei could do quite well. It think that really is the difference between these two, Lin Dan handles the big matches better, even if perhaps Lee Chong Wei could be a little better otherwise.

Best arrows and broadheads for the Ventilator 150?
Posted 18 August 2012 - 07:26 PM
I have read a lot of the commentary on arrows and broadheads but that was before I had a new bow on the way.
Is there any new consensus on a great combination of arrow and broadhead shot out of the Vent-150
I bought 3 Aerobolt II's from Dorge at the lansing MI show last winter and I now realize that they are 26". Should I try to exchange them for 22"ers. How much speed difference is there likely to be between 22" and 26" arrows and will the 26"ers be more accurate enough to outweigh the speed difference.
I don't have the time or money to test a bunch of broadheads so anyone that has come up with a great one for the aerobolt II please let me know.
I am also going to be trying out a Red Hot pinpoint scope.

What is the difference in grains between the 22" and 26" aerobolt II, and any idea what the difference in fps out of the Vent 150 with a 100 grain broadhead. I don't have to have the fastest arrow but would like to be confident at 40 yards and maybe stretch it to 50 if I had a chance at a Booner.
Posted 23 August 2012 - 07:19 PM
Posted 24 August 2012 - 09:01 AM
Just know the Rockets are a 1 maybe 2 shot and done mechanical broadhead. But they shoot extremely well if you want to deal with them.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping for some feedback on the difference between aerobolt II's at 22" vs 26" also. I wanted to try the Ramcats, but maybe I will start with the Rockets. It would be nice to find something that flies about the same as the target points.
For you vent guys--Geeksters fixed blade review and what he did to get it done.
sharing my ventilator 150 combo arrow and broadhead setup
Hey folks I have found a good arrow and broadhead combo out of my vent. I had tried aerobolt a few weeks ago with exodus broadheads. The aerobolt was fletch with aerovanes. The results was not good. So I tried the T3's and the practice head shot with fieldpoints. So later I tried the T3 with the hunting blades and xbow retention clip. Blades preopened and lost aerobolt. Yes I was upset over losing the aerobolt. So I went back to the drawing board. I knew the laser3 with 2inch quickspins and exodushead shoots great out of my 380. So I tried them. They shot 2inches low and 3 inches right at 60yds from fieldpoints. Still not satisfied and by the results of the test with the fixed heads shooting right of fieldpoints. I felt I needed more spine to get the vent to shoot broadheads and fieldoints together. So I went back to my aerobolts and removed the aerovanes and fletched 2inch quickspins. I then tested 3 fixed blade heads at 60yds. G5 striker,ramcat and exodus head. The exodus group tight at 60 and was on the money with fieldpoints. The vane change on the aerobolt to the quickspin put the exodus heads with the fieldpoints at 60yds. Just give a little info on my aerobolts they are 20 inches in length and weigh 274 grains bare with Dorges hybrid alumnium insert and inner carbon shaft. The finshed arrows with 2inch quickspins,qnock and 100gr point weighs 408grs. I was really pleased with the accuracy I was getting at 60 with this combo. I thought I have got to see what it will do at 80yds. Here is my shot at 80yds with exodus broadhead. Hope this info might help somebody out. First pic is 3d deer at 80yds. the last pic shows the penatration of arrow. The target is new it is not shot out I was impressed with the penatration.

For more powerful bows like the RDT165, a 325 grain shaft and vane at least 22" is what I would use.
A simple rule, a longer and heavier arrow (in spine and weight) will generally result in a easier to tune bow. When you start cutting the arrow short and lighten the weight, extensive tuning and testing is what you are looking to do to get that speed with accuracy.

weight of the lazer 3's with 2" fletching, 100 grain heads at 22" long is 435 gr.
same drop as the 2219's at 40 yards, did not notice or measure a difference in the two. 2219's are 20", 4" vanes
over the weekend I hope to find the time to shoot some of the ramcats and see how they shoot.
Posted 30 August 2012 - 06:26 PM
Hi I am the guy CT mentioned about fixed heads and arrows out of the Vent 150. The aerobolt2 and accuspine shoot really great out of my vent 150. The aerobolt2 has shot very Accurate for me out to yds. I posted a pic a coupe weeks ago on AT where I had two aerobolt2's stacked on top of each other at 80yds. The top arrow busted the bottom arrow nock. Also I posted a pic of 3d deer I shot at 80yds. I held for the center of the heart and that is where the aerobolt2 and exodus head landed. The aerobolt2 is my first choice out of the vent 150 with the accuspine a very close second. These are the only two arrows that have gave me the accuracy I want out of the vent 150 with fixed blade heads. The thing about aerobolt2. Dorge can make such variations of the aerobolt2 to get the spine combination for a given crossbow.
Hi Geekster. I really thought you forgot. Too much good stuff in your writing to not put out there. Keep up the good experiments.

I believe that the best arrow for a Ventilator is no shorter than 22", unless you want to really work at it to get it tuned. Shorter arrows are less forgiving. So far, the weight of the arrow should be about 435 grains to get the ventilator to shot as efficiently as possible. Lesser weight will introduce noise and inefficiency of power stroke. One do gain speed due to less weight of an arrow. That is why I offer Aerobolt II 22" at 305 grains for shaft and vane, add the point and a Firenock you are right at 435. Jim had tested a lot of configuration and this seems to work best without much work. For those who like to play, adding different vane, shaft stiffness, will result in significant difference from bow to bow.
For more powerful bows like the RDT165, a 325 grain shaft and vane at least 22" is what I would use.
A simple rule, a longer and heavier arrow (in spine and weight) will generally result in a easier to tune bow. When you start cutting the arrow short and lighten the weight, extensive tuning and testing is what you are looking to do to get that speed with accuracy.
At this point since I have 26" abII's I'm trying to figure out how much speed I would lose vs 22" abII's, and if increased accuracy would override the speed loss.
Geekster thanks for the long range info that is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I will look into the Exodus heads.

Saturday March 22, 2014Quinn Returns to UF for Coaching Clinic, Reflects on Time with Gators
Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn returned to UF this weekend for a coaching clinic.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn returned to UF this weekend for a coaching clinic.
By Michelle Provenzano
GatorZone.com Writing Intern
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Gators saw a familiar face on the sidelines when they got to the Sanders Practice Fields on Friday.
He looked familiar other than for his new color scheme.
Former Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn graced the boys in orange and blue on Friday afternoon — the first time Quinn has been back to Gainesville since leaving to become the Seattle's defensive coordinator after the 2012 season.
Quinn's first season back in the NFL ended with a Super Bowl ring.
Coordinating one of the best defenses in recent NFL history, Quinn helped the Seahawks roll over the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII last month. Quinn returned to UF to speak at the 2014 Gator Football Coaches' Clinic and to relive the memories of being a part of the Gator Nation for two years as Florida's defensive coordinator.
"I'm so fired up to be back here," said Quinn, decked in Seahawks gear. "There are so many people I connected with during my two years here.
"To get a chance not only to be back, but see them practice — a lot of the guys I helped recruit and be a part of that and seeing them develop — it's a really cool experience."
The practice field was packed on a hot Florida afternoon, giving Quinn some nostalgia about his time coaching the college squad.
"I distinctively remember my first day here," Quinn said. "I wanted to see who some of the players were, so I put on the Florida tape against Auburn with Cam Newton, and I'm thinking 'what did I get myself into?'
"I think one of the awesome parts about coaching in the SEC, there is such a wide variety of offense and defense. There are teams that want to play hardball and really aggressive and there are spread teams and gun-run teams. During that time, it really helped me."
Quinn spent 10 seasons as an NFL assistant before coming to Florida as part of Will Muschamp's inaugural UF staff.
The defense-focused style that Muschamp is known for was something that just clicked with Quinn. The two worked together for a season on Nick Saban's staff with the Dolphins and remained in touch after Muschamp left after one season to return to college football.
"Part of the reason I'm back is because I have such a gratitude for Will and the university for giving me an opportunity to become a defensive coordinator," Quinn said. "For 10 years I had coached the defensive line in the NFL, and I had an absolute blast.
"There was a part of me that wanted to take a bigger leadership role as a defensive coordinator. Will was the one who gave me that opportunity. They helped me as much as anybody ever has. They helped me prepare for Seattle."
Despite leaving the Gators after just two years as defensive coordinator, Quinn and Muschamp remain close.
Quinn respects the way Muschamp leads the program.
"I think one of the things I've always most admired about Will is just his determination," Quinn said. "He was able to see things through. You can tell, the attitude and effort he puts into it, it's infectious to everybody around him.
"He's an unbelievably good guy to work with. We hit it off from way back when, and we still send a text before a game or a call after a game, so that will always be the case."
Then again, Muschamp can't ignore the success Quinn achieved in his first season back with the Seahawks. You don't turn away Super Bowl champs, after all.
But Quinn humbly gave credit to what he learned under Muschamp, and discussed his role in helping the Gators rank as one of the top 10 defenses in 2012 — motivating and encouraging a room of about 130 high school football coaches attending the clinic.
"Coaching here was one of the best experiences I have ever had coaching," Quinn said.

ask cody if this is really his cousin….
Great show and what a plug for your Blog. The SexGod Cody seemed very flustered. The Sex Qween blogger must be on him.
Did I hear right? Cody is in mostly cash and only a little MSFT?
I'm sorry but this is worse than armchair investing. Time for a showdown. I wanna see his $10k against your $10k and no backdating like he's obviously been doing with his claims. Just when did Cody first say he was moving mostly to cash?
Barry: Looking sharp nice shirt, tie was good, keep smiling. Kudlow's tie was outstanding. (RATS)
Did I hear you recommend the banks on the program?
We are at the end of a bull run within a secular bear mkt, and the credit cycle is turning.
Rest assure that when the liquidity cycle is turning (as it is now), the credit cycle will turn. this will be a multi year event, and will NOT help the financials.The treasury mkt is alread telling us (imho), they are afraid of over tightening by the fed.
It is not much I disagree with you….but this one I do.
maybe i'm wrong but think he was looking at relative performance of banks vs broker/dealers???….. regardless, relative performance does not pay the bills and 95% of cnbc's target audience would not spread trade like that.
cody loves everything but sits in cash…. LOL
One more thing………..the brokers (and the banks) are exposed big time to the credit cycle though credit derivatives direct( In their porfolios) as well as through their exposure to hedge funds……we are only one major credit event away from a downgrade of the financials….remember these thing do not show up in good times but with dow at 8000( your prediction) they will!
My nagging concern about "banks" are their practices of recording mortgage transactions. Negative amortization loans book increases in principal balances as current income. Teaser/introductory rates on mortgages are booked as income as if being paid back at the full rate. Do I remember sometime around early 2000 when we "discovered" tech companies booking future earnings in current quarters? Nah, we learned that lesson. We'd never let that happen a third time.
Another great appearance. I hope some day they put you in the same segment as the Dynamic Duo (Riech and Moore).
Well, not really but kinda.
I wasn't planning on recommending the banks — I was discussing the Long Brokers/Short Banks paired trade that has been all the hedge fund rage (not me) — and is now reversing, wiht BBH rec'ibng to go long Banks/Short Brokers.
I think I also said you "can hide in cheap banks" — but its not my first choice where I would put money — if you must be (by charter) between 90-100% long, you go to food, beverage, tobacco, utility, and bonds.
But yeah, it sure looks like I said that
it was an arbitrage.. he spoke of shorting the broker dealers and buying the banks. it's not a bad risk/reward. you get to collect a 4% yield and the brokers have been leading this decline. say long c/short gs. goldman has been increasing their VaR to generate extra returns and that could catch up with them as markets unwind. citi pretty diversified. sounds good to me. let's revisit it in a couple of months
ok barry,
the problem with short brokers and long banks is that banks are probably more exposed to the credit cycle via both corporate banking, mortgage products and retails banking, than the brokers with their prop trading (pure alpha — although i am sceptical) and their fee based investment banking (m&a/ restructuring and bond/equity issuiance). on the other hand their private equity is vulnerable. in the end I wouldnt' be long any of them. The only positive i can say about them is that the short trade is already crowded (see bernie shaeffer) and it might be too early for a good short position?
Regarding "Did I hear right? Cody is in mostly cash and only a little MSFT? "
Actually Cody has been mostly in cash for a while now. For an alleged "perma bull" he did very well from my viewpoint on getting what he could from the bull market and then bailing.
On 6/1 he said: "The best trade I can come up with in this environment is still to "trade in trading for patience." I am indeed anxious to get active trading stocks, but sometimes capital preservation is the most important focus of one's trading. And that — for me, for this day — still dictates being mostly in cash and mostly patient. "
The week before on 5/24:
"First, let's keep it real, folks. You know as well as I do that part of that call to go to cash right before this crash was Lady Luck's grace. Further, just as I'm looking for a potential tech bubble in 2007 and 2008, but am not positioned for it (yet?), I'd only thought there was potential for the ugliness that ensued after my cash call. Had I actually expected such, I sure would have gone short.
I'm growing increasingly bullish and excited about starting to get long as prices continue to come down. But I still think the best approach for me right now is stick with being mostly in cash and Microsoft. I know it's boring."
On 5/11:
"Everyone keeps asking me when I'll start buying stocks again. Put simply: I don't know…. What I know is that I'm going to sit on a bunch of cash for now. Let you know when that changes."
Etc. Etc.
He talks bullish but watch his feet.
Barry mentioned that the so-called positive housing data was a blip and noted how rates are still historically low. Kudlow used it as a typical talking point indicating strength. Did anyone look at the number and as I did and say "wow, this is just going to continue add to the tremendous glut of inventory and just make things worse on the backend"…I would have thought Barry would have been all over that angle.
Did Cody really say Crash? I think Codys alright, but Market Crash!, really? I'd call it more of a moderate decline in the US markets.
Housing "starts" are a useless indicator in a wildly wobbling bubble. The massive speculatory bubble and its ugly offshoot Real Estate bubble most likely are near collapse, globally. This September-December period will go down as one of the worst economic periods in recent history and will be the beginning of a new economic era.
Cody Willard would never have made it on Lou Rukeyser's Wall Street Week– 'nuff said
enough larry

Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. Each part of the story needs to be equally as interesting as the others in order to keep the readers attention. Once you've chosen your idea for the story, here's what you have to do in order to create a strong plot.
Who's the bad guy?
Or, if there's not necessarily a villain, you should think about what's going wrong. You need to decide what the problem within the story is.
Why is this person doing what they're doing? Or why did this problem occur in the first place?
Create your introduction
Once you know what the problem within the story is, you need to make a strong introduction leading up to it. Introduce all of the characters; give the readers an insight into their lives. Make readers feel as if they are in the story.
What are the goals of the main character?
What is the main character trying to do? Why does he or she want to do this? Make sure this is clear to the reader.
How is the villain (or the problem) going to stop this from happening?
Figure out what is going to stop the main character from achieving what they want. This would be the major conflict within the story.
How is the main character going to overcome to villain?
Or, are they even going to? Figure out exactly if and how the main character is going to succeed.
Create a strong conclusion
Make sure you answer all of the readers' questions (unless you plan on writing a sequel). Be sure that the reader knows what will happen to the main character. Most importantly, make sure the conclusion is exciting!
