Seattle Form of Government
Seattle is a Charter City with a Mayor-Council form of government. The Mayor is directly elected by the voters and most executive departments report to the Mayor. There are nine City Councilmembers, all of whom are elected at-large. The only other elected position is the City Attorney, who is also elected at-large. The regular term of all offices is four years.
Candidates for these offices must be U.S. Citizens, registered voters in the City of Seattle at the time they file their declaration of candidacy, and able to read and write the English language.
All City office elections are non-partisan, which means the top two vote-getters in the primary election are placed on the general election ballot. This is true regardless of whether or not one candidate received a majority of the primary vote. If two people or less file declarations of candidacy for any of these offices, that office does not appear on the primary election ballot, but does appear on the general election ballot. Parties do not nominate candidates to appear on the ballot and the ballots do not identify the candidates by party. Parties can and do endorse and support certain candidates, but play no other role in nominating candidates or determining who is placed on the primary or general election ballot.
Ballot issues may appear on your ballot in the primary, general or special election. Those issues are decided in the election where they appear.
Districts, Wards and Precincts
The offices of Mayor, City Attorney and City Council are all elected at-large in Seattle, there are no districts or wards.

Professional/Career Experience: Practiced law in Seattle since 1972. Owner/manager of private businesses in West Seattle (1996 - Present).
Education: University of Washington: B.A. in Business Administration (1967); Willamette University College of Law: Doctor of Jurisprudence (1972).
Community Service: Pro bono legal services; Volunteer in treatment and self-help organizations for alcohol/drug addiction (2004 - Present); Belong to numerous community and charitable organizations.
Statement: I was born in Seattle in 1945. As a true Seattleite, I was have resided and worked my entire life in the Greater Seattle area. I answered the call of duty to my country in 1968 to interrupt my legal education half-way through law school to serve as a combat infantry soldier in the Vietnam War (1969-1970), regardless of the justness of the cause, and I was awarded numerous combat honors and medals. Upon return from the war, I completed my legal education at Willamette University and returned to my home and began my legal career in Seattle in 1972. I have over 40 years of successful legal experience practicing law in the City of Seattle and have participating and supported its growth as the best and most livable City in the country.
The Mayor of Seattle is legally a nonpartisan office, as it should be. The leadership of the City is not suited for politicians or supporters of special interests or affiliations promoting their personal partisan agendas. The Mayor should be an independent leader working for the best interests of each and every resident of the City, regardless of his/her political interests, causes, ethnicity, color or sexual orientation. I am a true independent nonpartisan candidate - not an advocate for any individual cause, party or special interest. I intend to be impartial, unbiased and independent and to serve all the people of this City based on my long experience and wisdom. I will listen and work harmoniously for all the people of the City with respect, dignity and integrity.
Money and politics don't mix with effective unified leadership. I do not intend to solicit donations, endorsements or money from any persons, partisanship organizations or groups promoting a special interest. We need to work together to stop any divisiveness and animosity to build the original vision of a "Greater Seattle." I intend to work tirelessly to bring transparency and honesty back to this City, and if mistakes are made to frankly admit and correct them.

Seattle is a place of innovation — a diverse, progressive city rooted in strong neighborhoods, while leading in business, research, and philanthropy. Building a government worthy of our people — and our potential — will require a new Mayor with proven experience, a regional vision, and the progressive values to deliver the leadership we need.
I was raised in Alki in a working class family. Today, my partner Michael Shiosaki and I live on Capitol Hill. I served Seattle first as a City Council aide for four years, and then in the legislature since 1995. I'm currently Senate Democratic Leader.
Throughout my time in office I have worked for equality and opportunity — building coalitions and lasting relationships to solve difficult problems.
My progressive record reflects the skills I will bring to the office of Mayor: I've led on civil rights, sponsoring and passing Washington's historic marriage equality law. I've led on social and economic justice, winning bipartisan support for farmworker, low income, and workforce housing. As budget chair I prevented Republican education and social service cuts. As transportation chair I united business, labor and environmentalists, passing two landmark packages, investing billions in transit and highway safety.
As mayor, I'll work with the school district to reduce crowding, improve quality, and increase state funding; EVERY Seattle student deserves excellence. I'll partner with UW and community colleges to expand programs and access.
I'll restore transportation funds and reprioritize safety and maintenance of our roads and bridges. I'll work with state and regional leaders to expand bus and light rail.
There is no one size fits all approach to growth. I'll make sure we put density where we have transit and infrastructure to support it. I'll protect the unique character of our neighborhoods while building a dynamic city.
I'll reform our police department to restore public trust. I'll make sure our officers get more training in Seattle and search nationally for a chief committed to reform, and respected by line officers.
Previously awarded "Legislator of the Year" by Washington Conservation Voters, I oppose coal trains and will work collaboratively to address climate change and Puget Sound cleanup.
Endorsed by: 43rd and 46th District and King County Democrats; Human Rights Campaign; former Governor Chris Gregoire; Equal Rights Washington; former Mayor Charley Royer; Seattle Building Trades Council; former Councilmember Martha Choe; Sheet Metal Workers; many others.
Together, we can do better. I ask for your support. Thank you.

Written Voters' Guide Statement
Dear Voter,
My name is Kate Martin. I am running for Mayor of Seattle with a plan to bring us the change we need and the future we deserve.
I am a businesswoman with 25 years of experience in planning and design. Through both my professional work and the decades I have spent serving our city as a volunteer, I have gained a keen on-the-ground understanding of the issues, our neighborhoods, the City of Seattle and Seattle Public Schools. Additionally, I bring to the table my 22 years of parenting experience.
I think the role of the mayor is to handle both the day to day operations of the City and to lead us with an inspiring vision of the big picture – not part of the picture, but the entire big picture. I see so many opportunities for us to set the stage for shared prosperity - more jobs that pay well, housing we can afford to rent and buy, a full court press on nurturing the next generation, and a transportation system that includes sidewalks, excellent bus service, freight mobility, and mass transit solutions for our city and our region. The mayor's office should never be in the business of pitting one group against another. My solutions create win-wins, not winners and losers.
My politics are socially liberal and fiscally responsible. We need to think about what progressive looks like in light of the post-recession "New Normal Economy". Just writing a check is not enough. To me, progressive is frugal, healthy, safe, fair, diverse, trustworthy, sustainable, just and affordable. Progressive policies must be proactive. They must rebuild the middle class, put kids first, and solve problems. I am that kind of progressive.
A pound of prevention is my recipe for success. As mayor, I will help aim resources at problems before they get big and expensive. City government must stop eating our seed corn and systematically invest with discipline and forethought in our City's future and that of our children.
I offer you my professional expertise in planning, design and business as well as a common sense, down to earth fresh start that will bring us the change we need and the future we deserve. Please join me on my journey to City Hall. Let's make this an election, not an auction.
Vote for Kate!
Kind regards,
Kate Martin, Candidate for Seattle Mayor

Imagine if we elected a visionary mayor with executive experience who brings people together to get things done. Imagine a leader who listens before acting. As your executive, I'll refocus the city on core services such as sidewalks, potholes, and synchronizing traffic-lights while also planning for our future. Seattle is hungry for a mayor who can lead as an executive, above the pettiness and divisions of the past. I'm proven and tested and I ask for your vote for Mayor.
Together, we'll build the pathway to success for all communities. Successful communities start with safe communities. As Mayor, I'll create NEW COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS who'll come from your community and will protect your streets. They will know you. Our police force will adopt a new culture of innovation and change. They will admit mistakes. At the same time, we'll praise them for their courage and a new partnership will be formed. The failed strategies of the past must end.
Together, we'll create a NEW TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM by integrating all of its components: roads, transit, light rail, pedestrian and bike trails. It's time we stop pitting bikes against cars. We've seen what happens when a mayor doesn't understand transportation integration. As Vice Chair of the Transportation Committee, I'm the only candidate with the citywide experience to create a healthy transportation ecosystem.
Our community centers will be enhanced to NEW EMPOWERMENT CENTERS and our next generation will be taught civics, conflict management, environmental sustainability, and provided resources to help them succeed. Rising tuition costs are crushing families and putting college out of reach for many graduates. We'll create a NEW COLLEGE ENDOWMENT FUND to allow every graduate in Seattle Public Schools to prepare for college.
Our success is linked to the growth of our most innovative companies. As an attorney experienced in corporate law and one who has also spent three decades fighting for the most vulnerable communities, I'm the only candidate who can bridge our region's entrepreneurial and business spirit with our most vulnerable communities. As Mayor, I'll create a new Seattle: ONE SEATTLE.
Endorsed by: King County Democrats, King County Young Democrats, Seattle Democratic Legislative Districts, King County Corrections Guild, Seattle Building and Construction Trades, former Mayor Wes Uhlman, former Councilmember Paul Kraabel, Rep. Eric Pettigrew, Rep. Cindy Ryu, former Senator Kathleen Drew, Orin Smith, Stan Barer, Russell Horowitz, Rogelio Riojas, Mark Okazaki, former Senator Claudia Kauffman and thousands more.

Written Voters' Guide Statement
When I took office four years ago the recession was taking a heavy toll on jobs and on our city budget. I prioritized city services by listening to you at over 100 town halls in Seattle neighborhoods.
You told me to protect essential government services and focus our investments carefully. Here's what we did:
* Increased street maintenance and pothole repairs by 10% over previous city administrations.
* Protected public safety budgets while reducing crime to the lowest level in 30 years.
*Protected the safety net for the most vulnerable.
* Rebuilt our rainy day fund while maintaining our city's excellent bond rating.
As our economy improved, we invested where you told us was most important. We are all concerned about graduation rates so I:
* Worked with the City Council to double the impact of the Families and Education levy which improved programs for early learning, after school activities, and academic interventions for at-risk youth.
* Launched a citywide attendance campaign to encourage kids to show up every day ready to learn.
* Expanded the Youth Violence Prevention Program to serve 20% more at-risk kids.
You also told me we have to plan for the future while protecting those things that make Seattle special. That's why I'll work to connect our neighborhoods with better broadband and new transit, including partnering regionally on new light rail lines. We'll invest in early learning so more of our kids are ready for kindergarten. We'll continue to partner with neighborhoods to support local businesses, make communities safer, and invest in local improvements like safe routes to school and expanded community center hours.
I came into office as an outsider never holding public office before. But I worked to climb the learning curve as fast as I could. I'm proud of the work we've done to keep Seattle thriving during tough times, strengthen our city's education programs, lower crime rates and work with regional leaders to build a transportation system that works for every part of the city. I know who I work for - I work for you.
I'm proud to receive the endorsement of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Local 8, the Sierra Club, the 37th District Democrats, the Cascade Bicycle Club. King County Councilmember Larry Gossett, Rep. Sharon Tomiko-Santos and many, many more. I'm excited to keep Seattle the best place in America to live and I ask for your vote.

Seattle is at a crossroads. Our city's population is expected to grow by 150,000 more people over the next 15 years. Growth pressures and poorly-planned development threaten the quality of life we once took for granted. Creating healthy, walkable, and complete neighborhoods is the way to balance growth.
Yet many of Seattle's diverse neighborhoods lack basics such as sidewalks, safe crossings and drainage. Few cities have a greater legacy of parks and green spaces than Seattle. Open space is critical to accommodating more people while keeping our city livable. Our parks suffer from neglect and chronic under-funding.
As mayor, I'll protect this great city's future from urban decline caused by neighborhood neglect, poorly designed development, traffic congestion and street crime.
I am uniquely qualified to lead Seattle into the future and tackle these challenges.
I'm a skilled architect, planner and civic activist. I served 10 years on the Seattle City Council. Professionally, I've provided my expertise to some of Seattle's largest public institutions, including Children's Hospital and Pike Place Market.
I get work done. I protected our city's water quality in the Cedar River watershed. I developed the Downtown Livability Plan. I wrote many of our growth management laws, guarded our environment, and served on key regional planning boards.
My Complete Neighborhoods Strategy will serve the city well into the future.
I support transportation choices to relieve traffic, improve mobility, reliability, and above all, safety.
I've never been afraid to stand up for what's right:
People come first. It's wrong that Seattle has a poverty rate higher than the rest of the state.
I'll work to increase family wage jobs, and close the wage gap between working women and men. I'll shelter more homeless women and men now living outside in cold, unsanitary conditions. No one should go hungry in Seattle.
I'll lead our once-in-a lifetime opportunity to reconnect downtown to the waterfront.
Seattle can again be the great City of the Future – without abandoning our roots.
I am proud of my endorsements from: the 11th District, 46th, District, and King County Democrats, ILWU locals 19 and 52, Sailors' Union of the Pacific, American Institute of Architects, Washington Council.
I appreciate your vote.

Written Voters' Guide Statement
The working class is paying a heavy price for the consequences of the international crisis of the capitalist system. The bosses and their governments are responding to this crisis by aiming to recover their profits on the backs of workers. The capitalist class uses its courts, police agencies, and other state institutions to restrict our ability to defend our interests and to attack our democratic rights -- including the right to privacy and freedom of the press. Both Democrats and Republicans participate in these attacks and support wars abroad.
Millions of workers can't find jobs. Those working do so under worse conditions for less money. As the Socialist Workers Party candidate for mayor I call for a movement to demand a massive federally-funded jobs program to put millions to work building schools, child care centers, and other things working people need, and to fix the crumbling infrastructure, such as bridges that need replacement.
We are seeing resistance to the attacks on our class. Coal miners in the East and West are standing up to coal bosses' threats to break the union and gut pensions, safety and medical benefits.
Workers in Bangladesh and Cambodia are demanding safe worksites after deadly factory collapses there.
Machinist union members have stood up to attacks on wages and benefits in a strike at Belshaw-Adamatic in Auburn.
ILWU dockworkers were locked out in Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon by grain bosses who want to change work rules and use non-union labor.
Oppressed layers of our class are hit hardest by this profit-driven offensive—especially workers who are Black. Immigrant workers are scapegoated and subjected to super exploitation. My campaign calls for organizing and unionizing all workers and decriminalizing the status of undocumented workers. We say the labor movement should champion these fights in order to unify the working class. We defend the right of women to choose an abortion without restrictions.
The working class needs to break with the Democratic and Republican parties and rely on our own strength. In order to change society we need to take political power away from the capitalist class. We point to the example of Cuba, where workers and farmers made a revolution, took power and began to build a society based on human needs instead of profits. We defend the Cuban Five prisoners, framed up and imprisoned by the U.S. government for defending the Cuban Revolution.

Written Voters' Guide Statement
I encourage you to vote for me as someone who doesn't aspire to political longevity, but rather has the courage and vision to lead effectively for the benefit of the community. I have a proven track record in business, arts and education. Few are happy with the current state of Seattle, its lack of safety, poor police behavior, parking rates, potholes, unsafe crosswalks, and bike lanes that are unsafe and inefficient. A vote for anyone else is a vote for more of the same because it is their policies that have gotten us here.
The next four years will set in motion Seattle's direction for the next 10-15 years. It will determine the legacy we leave for generations to come. I offer a skill set based on the key personal characteristics of authenticity, trust, collaboration and integrity. I will employ these traits as your next Mayor and will choose department heads based on these core values.
There are six key pillars essential to my vision for Seattle:
1. Job creation and economic sustainability is the cornerstone for a successful city
2. Education is a paramount responsibility within our community
3. Exceeding customer satisfaction in the delivery of city services
4. Safety on our streets and rebuilding trust with the police department
5. Repair and improve our infrastructure
6. Make Seattle a fun and vibrant city, because life is just too short.
A strong economy and eliminating the education skills gap allows our city to bridge across diverse cultures and economic divides, and extends the hand of government to citizens to be productive and to maximize one's potential.
Experience: Eight years on the Vashon Island School Board as both President and Legislative Chair (selected as the State's school board of the year), six years on the Puget Sound Educational Service District (elected by school board directors of 35 districts, serving 390,000 students), current Chairman.
Business owner, Staadecker Real Estate (30 years) specializing in local and regional business creation and expansion. Former executive with Intercontinental and Hilton International Hotels. U.S. Army veteran and former Teamster.
Seattle Rotary, Trustee, Foundation Board; Puget Sound ESD Foundation President; Franklin H.S. Seattle, Wharton School of Finance, Cornell University with Distinction, American Jewish Committee; Arts advocate and innovator.
Be courageous! We need a leader with common sense, and a moderate and balanced approach. I am that person. I will not let you down.

Kshama Sawant
Video Voters' Guide Statement
Written Voters' Guide Statement
Kshama Sawant is a teacher, union activist, and tireless fighter for the 99%. With a PhD in economics, she teaches at Seattle Central Community College, where she is a member of the American Federation of Teachers, Local 1789.
The city government's priorities are backward. As Seattle becomes increasingly unaffordable for working people, who are struggling with low wages, debt, and out of control rent, the city council gives handouts to real estate developers and maintains corporate taxation at historic lows.
While cutting budgets for social services, councilmembers are paying themselves nearly $120,000/year, more than any other city except Los Angeles. As a councilmember, Kshama Sawant will only take the average worker's wage and donate the rest to building social justice movements.
Sawant's opponent is 16-year incumbent Richard Conlin. Despite progressive rhetoric, Conlin has established himself as a friend of the corporate establishment, revealed by his enormous fundraising operation. Conlin was the only councilmember who voted against paid sick leave for Seattle's workers, voted to criminalize panhandling, and piled obstacles in the way of providing shelter for the homeless.
Sawant will use her platform as councilmember to campaign for a citywide $15/hour minimum wage, rent control, and a Millionaire Tax to fund mass transit, education, and social services.
Unlike her opponents, Sawant's campaign is entirely funded by grassroots contributions, not big business. She calls for an end to corporate welfare and for increased taxation of corporations, so we can reduce taxes on small businesses, workers, and homeowners. She will work to establish a democratically-elected civilian review board to hold the police accountable. She will campaign for a moratorium against coal train passage through Seattle to the disastrous Cherry Point coal terminal project, ranked as one of the worst potential contributors to climate change in the nation.
Last year, in her first election campaign, Sawant won one of the highest votes for a socialist candidate in the US in decades (over 29%), against the Democratic House Speaker Frank Chopp. She won over 20,000 votes as a Socialist Alternative candidate, more than twice as many as any of Chopp's previous opponents in his 18 years in office, and one of the strongest votes for any independent progressive in 2012.
Join us in making history. Elect Kshama Sawant to challenge the domination of corporate politics in Seattle and give working people a real voice on the City Council.

Brian Carver
Video Voters' Guide Statement
Written Voters' Guide Statement
I'm running because our council must do more to ensure that citizens and businesses thrive in Seattle. I'm running on to improve education, increase public trust in police, and create realistic transportation solutions. The council must do all this while staying true to our progressive values as a city. I will be the council member to lead this change.
As a new father I'm passionate about improving education for all children. Although I'm proud of our city for doubling our investment in the Families and Education Levy, we can, and must, do more. I will work to expand early-learning programs so that children in all neighborhoods are ready to learn when they enter public schools. Our children's education is my top priority.
As a citizen I know we need to ensure our streets are safe. This means patrols on the ground in crime hotspots and faster response times. This cannot come at the expense of citizen's rights. Our next police chief must enact measures to end complaints of excessive force from our police officers. I will ensure the next police chief will work to keep neighborhoods safe and reform our police department.
As a daily commuter, I know Seattle must start being realistic about transportation. Transportation options should work together, not against one another. The council must prioritize the backlog of infrastructure disrepair and potholes, while obtaining the funding required to connect our major transit corridors including Ballard and West Seattle.
Seattle succeeds because of the entrepreneurs, innovators, and community minded citizens who value equality and fairness: these are our progressive values. Living by these values is essential to keeping and attracting a talented and diverse workforce. As a senior manager at Amazon.com, I work with innovative companies and employees throughout the globe. They seek a vibrant and innovative place to learn and work. Seattle must continue to be the place for innovation.
I am proud to be endorsed by King County Young Democrats, UW Young Democrats, and progressive community leaders including David Bloom, Kristina Logsdon, and Seattle doula icon Penny Simkin. Seattle has a proud history of innovation; we have always looked to the future with hope and resolve. Let's strengthen our schools, create an environment for innovation, make sure our streets are safe and make our transportation system work for every neighborhood. With your support, I'll bring our shared values, vision, and voice to the Seattle City Council.

Richard Conlin is an innovative and responsive leader who puts his energy to work for Seattle. He listens and creates opportunities to get things done that make a difference in our lives. He works hard to ensure that Seattle makes effective decisions to protect and improve our neighborhoods and our environment. Richard Conlin makes change happen.
"Thank you for the honor of serving as your Councilmember. As Council President from 2008 to 2012, my fellow Councilmembers trusted me to provide steady leadership to bring Seattle through tough times – the recession, change in the Mayor's office, hard decisions about our transportation system.
You can depend on me to match my experience with fresh ideas to keep our economy healthy, take care of those who are left out and left behind, and support our families and neighborhoods.
I have a proven track record of results. The Sustainable Path Foundation gave me their 'Trailblazer Award' for my work to reduce waste, create affordable housing, and keep transportation improvements on track. Food Lifeline named me 'Hunger Fighter of the Year' for my commitment to those in need. My experience has taught me how to make things happen by working cooperatively with others. We can make smart choices to have great neighborhoods and a thriving downtown, connected by transit, bicycle, and pedestrian ways and well-maintained roads.
People all around Seattle deserve excellent service and value from every dollar the City spends. I've championed wise investments in transit, parks, community centers, fire and police services, and libraries.
Seattle works best when we work together. My wife Sue Ann and I have lived in Madrona for 31 years. Our three children graduated from Garfield High School. With your vote, I pledge to continue working with you to keep Seattle a place we are proud to call home."
My priorities include:
-- Create new jobs and support local businesses.
-- Take care of people with effective human services and great schools.
-- Work for clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment.
-- Connect neighborhoods and the region with transit.
-- Ensure public safety while respecting the rights of all.
-- Require fiscal accountability and transparency in government.

Written Voters' Guide Statement
I believe Seattle can be a model for sustainability, affordability, and economic and cultural vitality. I envision a city where:
In order to do that though, we must focus on the right priorities:
First, Seattle's economy is home to some of the largest most innovative companies in the world and thousands of small businesses. As a member of city council, I will continue to be a champion for good, living-wage jobs and opportunities for everyone. We must have smart housing policies, improved transportation options and smart urban planning. Seattle needs to be a city where people can afford to live and work in the same community.
Second, I will continue to champion a reliable transportation system that connects our diverse neighborhoods. Now more than ever we need to prioritize transit, expand alternative modes of transportation and improve the condition of our existing roads. If we do this, we can build a transportation infrastructure that enables people and freight to move quickly, efficiently and reliably through Seattle.
Third, I know firsthand how important it is to invest in education for our children and the future of Seattle. We demonstrated our commitment to a thriving public school system with the doubled Families and Education Levy two years ago. I will work hard to ensure that money is focused on smart, equitable investments, so that every school in Seattle has the resources to meet the needs of our students.
Finally, I will continue to lead the fight against climate change on the city council. I led the effort to allow residents to opt out of receiving a phone book and the effort to reduce waste from grocery bags. It will always be my priority to adopt policies that make Seattle a model for environmental leadership and sustainability where everyone can do their part to protect the environment.
I am running for re-election because I want to continue serving you. I brought a passionate, progressive, yet pragmatic approach to the issues we faced these last three years; and I plan to do the same in my next term. I ask for your vote.

I'm Albert Shen and I want to serve on the Seattle City Council.
I'm the son of Chinese immigrants and grew up in Pullman. I came to Seattle nearly 30 years ago to study global warming and environmental chemistry at the University of Washington. My wife Nancy and I have two children.
For over 20 years, I've been committed to making Seattle stronger. I served on President Obama's National Finance Committee. Governor Gregoire appointed me to the Seattle Community College Board. I serve on the local Susan G. Komen Foundation Board and was on the Seattle Chinatown International District PDA Board. Public service and working side-by-side with neighbors on important issues has been a constant throughout my life.
I started a small civil and transportation engineering firm. You've probably never heard of my business, but my team has worked on some of our important regional projects, like Sea-Tac Airport's Third Runway, Seattle's e-Park system and Seattle Waterfront Redevelopment.

Not worth the money
As far as snap on hard cases go, this one is of the same caliber. I have purchased high quality slider cases with the "soft" feel from [@]. They do not offer HK designs, however. So when I saw the add in an email that they were nw offering them through the Sanrio store I jumped at the chance. I was expecting MUCH more for the [$] spent on this. At most, the product should be $5 as other HK products on [@], etc. Because of [@] and Sanrio and the [$] price tag, I was willing to pay for a higher end product. I was terribly disappointed and I will be returning it for a refund.

Born: 04/19/1981
Birth Place: Vancouver, British Columbia, CA
Hayden Christensen was born on April 19, 1981, in Vancouver, British Columbia. He grew up with two sisters and a brother outside Toronto, Ontario, where he was an accomplished hockey and tennis player. When he was seven, Christensen accompanied his sister to a meeting with a talent agent (she had done some commercials) and was asked if he was also interested in doing some acting. Christensen could not turn down the chance to miss a few days of school and make some extra money, so he began appearing in commercials, though he generally denied his theatrical outings to his athletic buddies. By the age of 12, however, Christensen could not deny that he had a regular role on the daily Canadian... Continue Bio >>

Bobby Bosco
Staten Island, New York
1951 Mercury Full custom
Bobby Bosco has been building hot rods and customs for over 50 years, starting with a '32 three-window he bought for $25 in 1960.
Within a year the coupe was chopped and channeled, and ran a triple 97 and aluminum head-equipped Flathead backed by a LaSalle trans. Check out the picture of it with the flat firewall where Bobby has just installed the motor. This was followed by a '40 coupe, which Bobby chopped, channeled, and sectioned. A chopped 'n' dropped '50 Ford convertible followed that, fitted with a small-block Chevy. That went down the road and was replaced with a '58 Impala convertible, which received a top chop, pancaked and louvered hood, a '54 Chevy grille in a molded front end, and '50 Buick rear bumpers molded to the body. The '60 Pontiac taillights went in the rear before Bobby painted the Chevy Pearl Green with Candy Green scallops. This car made the cover of Custom Rodder in 1963.
Bobby's prolific car building career continued with more than 20 custom show cars before he tackled the '51 Merc shown here, which went on to win Lead East and 25 other Best of Show awards. Riding on a '76 Chevelle frame, the Merc was channeled, then chopped 6 inches in front and 7 1/2 inches in the rear. All corners were rounded before Bobby added his trademark touch: raised sculpture work on the trunk, roof, and front fenders. The story doesn't stop there though, as he's built another eight cars that have placed in the Top 10 at Lead East and is still building at 70 years old. As he says, "It's true love!"
Fredrik Aldenhov
1934 Ford Tudor/1933 coupe
Fred is a Swedish subscriber to R&C, and the proud owner of a '34 Tudor and '33 coupe. He's the fourth owner of the sedan, which apart from a repaint in cream very early on, a few "necessary' accessories, and those chubby wide whites on 16-inch wires, is stock. It's lived in the same region since new, runs like a dream, and has taken Fred and his family to rod runs for several years, towing a teardrop trailer he made himself, with an aluminum skin over wood based on a old trailer chassis. How many of us wouldn't want the sedan with its great patina?
Fred swapped a nearly new Mustang GT for the '33 coupe as a semi-finished project with no engine. His intention was to create a rod that would be nice to drive, but with rough edges, hence the small dents and imperfections were left before the semigloss black paint was applied, followed by red pinstriping. A small-block Chevy and Tremec T56 six-speed were dropped into the chassis, complete with independent front suspension and a 9-inch on a four-link. With a 3-inch exhaust system ensuring the package sounds good, Fred assures us the handling is great and he has somewhat of a "road racer in disguise".

Mesa doctor Dr. Gabriel Ogbonnaya acquitted of sex abuse charges
A Mesa doctor accused of sexually abusing or assaulting a dozen of his female patients has been acquitted in the case.
Maricopa County prosecutors say jurors Wednesday found 45-year-old Gabriel Ogbonnaya not guilty on 11 counts of sex abuse and not guilty on one count of sexual assault.
The Arizona Medical Board suspended Ogbonnaya's license in June 2010 after Mesa police arrested him.
Ogbonnaya was first arrested in June 2010 after two women reported they were both inappropriately touched by the doctor during routine visits.
He was released from jail in days, but was re-arrested two weeks later after police say more women came forward with allegations.
The women reported that Ogbonnaya fondled them and told them to "have more sex" in incidents that happened between 2008 and 2010.

Ned Yost media session: September 21
When manager Ned Yost met with the media this afternoon outfielder, Jarrod Dyson was the first topic brought up by the media. Jarrod injured his right lat muscle August 29 against Detroit and has not played other than pinch running occasionally since the injury. Yost was asked if Dyson is healthy again or how they know he is ready since the impression early on after the injury was that his return to the outfield was questionable for the remainder of the season. Yost said Dyson is feeling a lot better and he has been on a throwing program to get back from the injury and he is healthy enough to play. Yost said they wanted to see how Dyson would respond to the throwing program and so far he has responded very positively to it so they are going to go with him in center tonight and then re-evaluate him after the game.
The next question involved Alex Gordon's absence from tonight's lineup and if it was just a chance for the Royals to give him a breather. Yost said it is a bit more than just a night off because Gordon is kind of banged up from last night when he dove head first into home plate to avoid the tag to score the tying run for Kansas City in the sixth inning. Yost said Gordon's hand was slightly swollen after the game and sore, therefore, they are going to give him tonight off as a precautionary measure more than anything. Yost said he feels good today and could probably play and ultimately wanted to, but to be safe they are going to give him the night off. The Royals look for him to be back in the starting lineup tomorrow.
Catcher Salvador Perez and his night off was the next question. Yost was asked why he is also not in the lineup. Yost said Perez is kind of beat up right now as well. He said he took a foul ball off of the back of his hand a week ago as well as off of his thumbs since then, so his hands are quite sore. Yost said Perez has been playing through the pain thus far and could continue, but they want to take this chance to get him some rest and let that soreness heal. He said they will probably give Perez the next three days off and look for him to return on Monday when the Royals travel to Detroit. The Royals have Brayan Pena going behind the dish tonight, but also have options with Manuel Pina and Adam Moore at that position while Sal gets some time off.
The final topic of the afternoon was rookie David Lough getting the call in left field tonight after seeing most of his time in center for the Royals or right field. Yost said he has seen Lough play in left field in spring training and is very confident with him in all three positions. He went on to say he relies a lot on outfield coach Rusty Kuntz and he puts a lot of trust in him. He said if Rusty says a guy can play a spot in the outfield, then he is going to be able to play those spots. He finished by saying Rusty has been around all of these guys in the minors and he has seen him in spring training, so they have good confidence in Lough at all three spots out there.

Al, finally you do speak some truth in that when you where in the Senate there was a lot more bi-partisan ship in government. Of course in today's climate where the leaders of both the house and the Senate Republicans looked at it as there job to make Obama a one term President (which they failed at), they seem to have no ability to compromise. They should follow the example of their hero Reagan (who was at best an average president) and compromise, you will remember he raised taxes when needed and governed more to the center.
Remember also that Republican Presidents prior to Cheney would be way to liberal for the insane party of today. Nixon would have been tared and feathered for things like going to China and starting the EPA,if he was leading to today.

About this font family
Designed in 1928 by Alessandro Butti under the direction of Raffaello Bertieri for the Nebiolo foundry, Paganini defies standard categorization. While it definitely is a classic foundry text face with obvious roots in the "oldstyle" of the Italian renaissance, its contrast reveals a clear underlying modern influence.
In a typical Italian artistic fashion, Paganini manages to be a superb text face while having enough priceless ornamental moments to make it great in display uses as well: Check out the splayed M, the wide-tailed g, the flowing tail on the y, the high-armed k, etcetera. More…

|Wrestlers dual Burlington, Wray
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Dragon wrestlers hosted Wray Thursday, Feb. 7 and traveled to Burlington Tuesday, Feb. 5 for dual action.
Holyoke 25, Wray 52
A moment of silence in memory of former HHS wrestling coach Larry Stroh opened the Holyoke-Wray dual Thursday, Feb. 7.
It was a good night for wrestling, with both teams having competitors in 13 weight classes. Wray's Jake Rockwell won by forfeit at 113 lbs., the only weight class that Holyoke was open.
HHS won five matches. Nicholas Ortner at 138 lbs., Ben Martinez at 145 and T.J. Gertner at 160 all won with pins. Jesus Hermosillo took a 13-1 decision at 195 lbs., and Eric Rojo made a tremendous come-from-behind effort to win in overtime 17-15 at 106 lbs.
Coach Jack Garrison was pleased with how the Dragons wrestled, despite the fact they lost the dual. "They fought hard and tried hard," said Garrison, and he was pleased with their conditioning.
Dragon Eric Rojo, pictured on top, works his way back from a nine-point deficit to win a 17-15 overtime decision over Wray's Michael Flores.
—Enterprise photo
He noted Eric Rojo's match was one of the best he's seen. Rojo won that on a "never-give-up" approach, said Garrison.
The Dragons are ready to bust into regionals Friday and Saturday, Feb. 15-16 at NJC in Sterling. Garrison feels good about where the team is in terms of conditioning, and looks forward to the last two weeks of the season.
Individual match results from the Wray dual follow:
106 lbs.—Eric Rojo decisioned Michael Flores 17-15 in overtime. He trailed 3-12 at the end of the first period, 10-15 after two and it was tied 15-15 at the end of regulation.
120 lbs.—Issac Brandt lost a 4-19 decision to Orlando LeFever.
126 lbs.—Fernando Lopez was pinned in 1:34 by Ramon Tarin.
132 lbs.—Morgan Golden was pinned in :47 by Alex Tarin.
138 lbs.—Nicholas Ortner pinned Kyler Churchwell in 4:53.
145 lbs.—Ben Martinez pinned Brian Jones in 3:26.
152 lbs.—Leo Ortiz was pinned in 1:33 by Cade Schulz.
160 lbs.—T.J. Gertner pinned Trace Combs in 5:58.
170 lbs.—José Jaquez was pinned in 3:38 by Thomas Groves.
182 lbs.—Astolfo Rojo lost a 2-17 decision to Matt Sullivan.
195 lbs.—Jesus Hermosillo won a 13-1 decision over Jonas Cure.
220 lbs.—Dylan Kotch got caught and was pinned in 1:45 by Aaron Escamilla Perez.
285 lbs.—Sid Struckmeyer was pinned in 2:22 by Michael Huerta.
Two JV matches preceded the varsity wrestling. Luke Stewart pinned Beau Beckman in 3:19 at 145 lbs., and Cesar Hinostroza pinned Cesar Escamilla Perez in 1:38 at 195 lbs.
T.J. Gertner and his 160-lb. Wray opponent Trace Combs tie each other in knots in a match that was tied 6-6 a period and a half before Gertner put Combs on his back for the pin with two seconds on the clock.
—Enterprise photo
Holyoke 36, Burlington 40
In the Feb. 5 dual at Burlington, the Cougars ended up with the four-point win, 40-36.
Only six matches were actually wrestled, with T.J. Gertner posting the only match win for Holyoke.
Both teams were open at 120 lbs. and Burlington won points in Holyoke's open weight classes at 113 and 138 lbs.
Holyoke wrestlers winning in open classes were Spencer Kotch at 170, Cody Lamm 182, Jesus Hermosillo 195, Dylan Kotch 220 and Fernando Rojo 285.
Gertner pinned Dylan Fisher in :50 at 160 lbs.
Eric Rojo was pinned by L. Durham in 2:42 at 106 lbs., Fernando Lopez was pinned by M. Torres in 1:23 at 126, Morgan Golden was pinned in :22 by K. Kilboin at 132, Luke Stewart lost a 7-18 decision to Madison Grinnan at 145, and Javy Rojo was pinned in 1:36 by M. Richardson at 152.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires public companies to report the value of certain perquisites (benefits other than salary) provided to named executive officers, which can include non-business use of aircraft.

- August 29, 2011
Last year, NBAA asked the FAA to reconsider a long-standing legal interpretation, known as the "Schwab Interpretation," regarding reimbursement for certain personal flights, and in December 2010, the agency issued a modified interpretation that has the effect of allowing some companies up to full-cost reimbursement for such trips. NBAA's Tax Committee has created a new resource explaining the requirements and issues to be considered before reimbursement can be made, and providing a list of frequently asked questions on this topic.

Other Resources
Occasionally a company airplane might be made available to employees for reasons not directly related to the business of the company. Businesses must be familiar with applicable rules, such as FAA, IRS and SEC regulations when conducting these flights.
The FAA has a general prohibition on employees reimbursing companies for personal flights when the aircraft is operated under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. In fact, FAA's Chief Counsel issued a Federal Aviation Decision regarding this issue in 1993. This is often frustrating as many employees desire to reimburse the company directly for non-business use of the aircraft thus avoiding additional taxable income (see IRS section below) and potential disclosure to shareholders (see SEC section below).
Some exceptions to the general prohibition on reimbursement may be possible, such as a timeshare agreement between the company and the employee, or payment to the charter operator if the aircraft is on a Part 135 charter certificate.

- NBAA Aircraft Operating & Leasing Package (160 KB, PDF)
Since in most cases the employee cannot pay the company non-business use by an employee is generally considered a taxable fringe benefit. The value of the flight, or a portion thereof, must be included in the employee's income. In basic terms, whenever an employee or guest (including family members of the employee) uses a company airplane for non-business/personal use, the flight is taxable to the employee.
Valuing Non-Business Flights
The IRS prescribes in its regulations how this personal transportation should be valued by the employer.
When calculating the value of a flight deemed to be taxable, the IRS allows operators to choose between two different methods. The first method uses the fair market value or charter value of the flight. This method looks at the cost of chartering the same or comparable aircraft for the same or comparable flight. Of the two methods, the fair market value often produces a higher value for the flight. The second and more common method determines the value of the flight using a formula that the IRS calls the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL). The SIFL method is based on the distance traveled, size of the aircraft, the number of people accompanying the employee, and a multiple that is higher or lower depending on whether the employee is classified as "control" or "non-control." There are numerous other considerations, which are addressed in NBAA's Personal Use of Employer-Provided Aircraft Handbook.

- 26 CFR 1.61-21 Taxation of Fringe Benefits (49 KB, PDF)
- 26 CFR 1.132-5(m) Working Condition Fringe (26 KB, PDF)
Deduction Limitations for Personal Entertainment Flights
A provision contained in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 limits the ability of a company to deduct the aircraft expenses for certain non-business flights for specified individuals. Under the Act, the difference between the actual cost of personal entertainment flights taken by "specified individuals" and the amount included in income by these employees (based on SIFL or Fair Market Valuation), is disallowed as a deduction to the corporation.
- For additional information on IRS Notice 2005-45, proposed regulations under IRC Section 274, and related comments and articles, visit the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 Web Resource.
Providing a company aircraft to an executive officer or director for his or her personal use generally requires disclosure in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports under federal securities law for publicly held companies. Public companies must report the Aggregate Incremental Cost (AIC) associated with personal flights, which means the cost to the company of the personal flights, not the tax value of the benefit (i.e., the SIFL rate). While the SEC has not specifically defined AIC in the context of business aircraft, it is widely interpreted within the business aviation community to equate to the direct operating costs related to a personal flight, and may include costs associated with deadhead repositioning flights.

|New livestock building considered at fairgrounds
|Written by Darci Tomky
A fairgrounds building committee has been formed for the consideration of a new building at Phillips County Fairgrounds, reported county commissioners at their Oct. 31 meeting.
The committee will be meeting Wednesday, Nov. 13 to discuss possibilities for a multiple-use building that could replace the two livestock sheds used at the fair for steers, chickens, rabbits, etc.
Committee members will be taking a needs assessment and are simply exploring potential building options and ways to get grant funding.
In addition to the fair, a new building could be used for things like bull sales and therapy riding, as well as housing animals. "You don't build a big building for four days out of the year," said commissioner Joe Kinnie.
Construction projects progress
Phillips County is continuing work on the new storage building to the east of the courthouse on South Campbell Avenue.
The county road and bridge crew was set to finish the sewer system, and the plan was to spread crushed concrete for the parking lot. The laying of sod has been delayed until the spring.
One of the reasons the new building was constructed was to provide space for county records. Since the county sheriff's department can park vehicles in the new building, their former garage next to the courthouse can now be remodeled to house records.
Commissioners have also approved a $300 project to install a fence for the waste containers by the sheriff's office at the courthouse square.
At the fairgrounds, a little bit of construction needed to be completed on the bike path in the next week or two. The bike path was extended along the north side of the fairgrounds with Sterling's McAtee Paving completing much of the project Oct. 23.
Commissioners explained the bike path slope down to Frenchman Creek next to Highway 385 will also need to be modified to fulfill ADA requirements for handicapped users.
Commissioners reported lights in the Event Center parking lot at the fairgrounds will be installed in the near future, as the dark parking lot is one of the biggest complaints they get about the new Event Center.
Representation issues continue
Local commissioners continue to look at how to give rural Coloradans more representation in the state legislature.
While the Phillips Plan suggests the Colorado House switches to one representative from each county, Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg has announced a new plan. It is focused on the Senate, giving one state senator to each of the six largest counties by land mass and then pairing the rest of the counties to keep the total number of senators at 35.
"There's two sides to it," said Kinnie.
Phillips County Administrator Randy Schafer, the initiator of the Phillips Plan, said they were pushing for the House because the numbers were closer between the number of counties and the number of representatives.
"To get anything like that accomplished, there needs to be compromise," said commissioner Harlan Stern.
Other business
In other business at their October meeting, commissioners:
—approved an annual land lease of 50.5 acres to Duane Harms to farm near the county landfill.
—noted an ambulance study group will take place Wednesday, Nov. 13 to assess what the needs of the county are. The study is provided by a $10,000 grant from Regional Emergency Medical and Trauma Advisory Council.
—reported they will be signing a petition distributed by Dale Vieselmeyer asking Colorado Department of Transportation for improvements to Highway 23.
—noted an access utility easement as the county decided to vacate 30 feet of the access road that lines up with South Worley Avenue on the south edge of Holyoke. Land on both sides of the access road is now owned by Aaron Worley.
—noted hours for the road and bridge department switched back to five eight-hour days per week beginning Nov. 4.
—announced the courthouse will be closed until 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8 for the annual county employee meeting, as well as all day Nov. 11 and 28-29.
—approved the county holiday schedule for next year.

Need advice on mechanical quality of zoom binos
Posted 22 January 2013 - 04:56 AM
I found your forum very interesting and got answers to lot of questions while reading. However, there are still some aspects on which I need your advice.
I want some large binoculars with power zoom. I will mainly use it for wildlife observation during daylight, and ocasionally for sky viewing. I perfectly understand what is exit pupil, front lens diameter, focal distance, multicoating, field of view and so on. In military, I was serving at borderline security, so there we had all kind of serious optics, with up to $100K price tags.
So, considering my practical observations and past experience, I came to conclusion, that I need something like 40x80 or even 60x80 binoculars. Unfortunately, such binoculars appear to be made only in zoom binocular department, so my choice is quite limited. Since this is just hobby, I'd prefer not to spend more than $200 for that. I understand perfectly that in this price range I should not expect anything serious, so, for start-up, I've purchased celestron Upclose G2 binoculars 10-30x50. Besides heavy chromatic abberations, it has another serious flaw. The piece, on which eyepieces are mounted, is made of very thin plastic, so even if you touch it slightly with your eye, it changes position and looses focus. Since I'm using it for terrestrial observation, even slight movement of eyepiece makes focus loose, so I need to constantly re-adjust the focus, which is very troublesome.
Unfortunately, these zoom ones aren't sold in local stores, so I depend on amazon/ebay/etc for such purchases.
So, I'd like to hear, whenever these giant large zoom, inexpensive binoculars from barska, celestron, bushnell and so on, suffer from the same issue? As I mentioned above, personally, I'd prefer fixed 40x80 binoculars, but was not able to find such one for my price range.
Thanks in advance,
Posted 22 January 2013 - 05:10 AM
To be honest a $200 80mm zoom binocular is going to be a waste of money. Your best bet at getting close to your target, IMHO, is looking for a fixed 30x80 binocular. But my recommendation would be to save up for something better (a 70 or 80mm binocular telescope with interchangeable eyepieces) or think outside the box (a spotting scope with zoom eyepiece).
Posted 22 January 2013 - 05:18 AM
I currently also own the following setup:
Camlink 15-45x50 spotting scope, to which I attached 1.7x tele zoom attachment from old Sony DSC-717 camera. It works quite nicely. Also, I have 1000mm/F10 reflex lens, for which I DIYed eyepiece holder, and using 12mm C mount CCTV camera lens as eyepiece. It also works fine, especially for observing the moon, when it is low on horison and located above distant mountains, in this case, mountains also do appear in view, and huuuge moon above them, very spacey and extra-terrestrial look it gives.

you could also get one of the Binocular-Telescopes with inter changeable EPs and use zoom EPs (but need click stops)

Binoviewer with richfield scope (YES)
BT-70 Definatly YES
Posted 22 January 2013 - 08:19 AM
Posted 22 January 2013 - 09:04 AM
Binoviewer excluded, if I wanted one eyed, I would stick with telescope. I'm doing mostly terrestrial observations, so binoculars are must.
I saw you had a small spotting scope as well as a reflex lens, what other telescopes do you have? Good views at higher powers require decent optics. The view though and inexpensive spotting scope or reflex lens is not going to be anywhere near as Sharp as a decent quality telescope.
The real issue here is the $200 budget. Good optics cost money and binoculars have many optical components, many opportunities to degrade the image. They also must be properly aligned, so robust mechanical construction is a necessity. Telescopes can be much simpler so a decent astronomical telescope can be more affordable.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 09:26 AM
C'mon Jawaid; say what you really mean!
Welcome CuriousOne:
You have asked about the "mechanical quality of ZOOM binoculars."
THERE IS NONE!!! Yes, there are some who will give the old "What about the . . ." However, I'm not one to give Jack the Ripper a pass because he once helped a cripple across the street.
You have also received some very informative posts from some very informed observers. SO, to help you further if I can, I would like to SEE their years of practical observing experience and RAISE decades in the optical industry and repairing and collimating more binoculars than most bino executives have ever seen in a warehouse—including thousands of military units.
The following is from a monograph on binocular realities:
There are many reasons to be even more aware of "ZOOM" binoculars! To the uninitiated the ability to "ZOOM" is a feature; to the serious observer they are anything but! For the most part, the zoom is made possible by the movement of an auxiliary system in the ocular (eyepiece) assembly of each telescope. The tubes move fore and aft along the optical axis by means of a small brass screw which passes through helical slots in the walls of the auxiliary tubes. When the zoom is operated, a series of spur gears move the screws to send the auxiliary lens systems back and forth.
As you may have guessed, there's going to be a lot of lost motion. And, even if the lenses were flawlessly matched in curvatures, spacings, thicknesses and glass types, the lost motion in the zoom mechanism is usually bad enough (especially as the instrument begins to age) to degrade the image. Also, while the brain can compensate for small errors in collimation, it can't compensate for differences in magnification. That means your binocular could be collimated exceptionally well and you still wouldn't have a good image!
Another negative attribute of almost all zoom binoculars is that they produce smaller fields of view than their fixed-power counterparts at any given magnification. Some are so bad, one might get the impression he or she is looking through a pipe instead of an optical instrument!
Finally, the auxiliary systems that make zooming possible are seldom sufficiently blackened. This causes a scattering of light and a loss of contrast across the entire field of view. So, can I recommend a really good zoom binocular? All the really good ZOOM binoculars I know of are listed in the box below:
(small rectangular box)
And, if you still feel it would be great to have a zoom mechanism on your binocular, please stop to consider why three of the most respected manufacturers of binoculars (Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski) don't have a zoom binocular in their line-up. NOTE: The Leica Duovid only appears to zoom between its two fixed powers. If a high-quality zoom ever comes to the market, Leica is likely to be the company responsible.
Yes, the above has been posted several times. But then, the problem has been raised several times, too.
If you still want a zoom instrument, please go ahead; sadly, experience is a far better teacher than I will ever be.
That monograph addresses several other bino misconceptions and I would be happy to send it to you should you send me your personal email address—my computer is full of them.
Again, welcome to our little family of misfits who might—just after taking the dog out at 3 a.m. in 18 degree weather—have to check the Cloudy Nights account before returning to bed . . . GUILTY!
Posted 22 January 2013 - 11:31 AM
The cheap binoculars have very poorly made focusing system. So I asked, whenever such problem exists in larger ones?
Regarding the zoom binoculars, as I said, I can "convert" them into fixed zoom ones, by mechanically fixing the zoom components in place, so no miszoom will occur.
As I'm aiming mainly for daylight observation, say 15x80 will be less usable for me, than say 25x60.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 11:45 AM
I should have bought a $4000.00 fixed zoom instead the sub-$100 binocular but did not have that kind of money.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 12:17 PM
You are going to be limited to looking at low quality Chinese made binoculars for the most part. Just try searching Amazon and other websites for the requirements you desire.
The best advice for you is simply to use a source that will allow you unlimited returns, since you should expect any binocular meeting your requirements to have quality issues. Just keep trying until you get one that is acceptable to you.
And most of all...
Posted 22 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
Are you capable of professionally "convert" it? or you are just planning on gluing the mechanism with gorilla glue when you feel the magnification is what you want? Having looked trough 100K optics is different than having the skills for doing that job, and for sure, someone that have the skills to do that job probably think is a waste of money and time.
And, I'm really not sure of having seen a $200 good high magnification 80mm binocular... maybe a bit more saving would help..
Posted 22 January 2013 - 12:37 PM
You have already been given most of the advice you need, whch amounts to STAY CLEAR OF ZOOM BINOCULARS, and ESPECIALLY ones that provide maximum magnifications above 15x.
I've tried many, and they are ALL A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!
Even your idea to fix the magnification at a high setting is fraught with danger and probably doomed to disappointment.
For one thing, to do so would do nothing to change the fact that the resulting exit-pupil would be around 0.5mm.
Another thing is it would only provide an acceptable image if the two sides were PERFECTLY aligned ( which they almost certainly WON'T be)
A third proviso is that BOTH sides are set to EXACTLY THE SAME MAGNIFICATION ( see Bill C's wise words about mechanical construction )
Your only hope I can think of within your stated budget would be a fixed focus 30x80, but every one I've tried has been pretty terrible too.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 01:00 PM
I always heard that the one zoom exception is the 8-16x40 XL Nikon zoom. So when I checked one out, I personally found that it was certainly usable and sometimes convenient.
But it's costly and nowhere to be found....
Posted 22 January 2013 - 01:01 PM
Regarding the "conversion" I have acces to precise lathe and milling machine, also own light duty 3 axis CNC milling machine which can work with aluminum, brass and other soft metals, so, doing custom parts is not that hard for me.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 01:03 PM
I don't need zoom function at all.
even simpler: "gimme cheap 40x60, 50x70, 60x80" and so on
Posted 22 January 2013 - 01:08 PM
"If you still want a zoom instrument, please go ahead; sadly, experience is a far better teacher than I will ever be"
So go ahead, buy, convert and share with us your experience...

We are both in pretty good physical condition, and not afraid to hunt hard or deep. We are considering backpacking in and hunting for 3 days, coming out for a day, and heading back in. Anyone who has any advice on hunting this area or how the herd has come through the winter I'd really appreciate it.

|Holyoke FFA members honored at annual achievement ceremony
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke's FFA chapter gathered on Tuesday, May 12 for their annual awards ceremony in the HHS auditorium. Members were recognized for their efforts and achievements throughout the year.
Local chapter awards were presented as well as those for district and state contest. Appreciation was also noted for those who have supported the chapter this year.
Greenhand FFA degrees were awarded to Reid Baumgartner, Laura Gerk, Erin Lebsack, Coleton Spitz, Mariah Struckmeyer, Brent Vasa, Marissa Smith, Preston King and Sarah Heermann.
Reid Baumgartner was selected for this year's Star Greenhand award for being the first-year member who is most active in the chapter, who demonstrates leadership and who has a strong supervised agricultural experience program.
Recipients of the Chapter FFA Degree include Skyler Dittmer, Perry Garrett, Emma Adams, Dustin Carrick, Patricia Adams, Molly Fricke, Janna Smith and Brian Strong.
The Star Chapter Farmer award, presented to a second-year student who shows outstanding leadership and progressive agricultural skills, was awarded to Janna Smith.
Honorary FFA degrees were awarded to parents who have made outstanding contributions to the chapter. Recipients of the honor were Jeff and Theresa Tharp, Casey and Hollie Gerk and Rich and Yolanda Wittman.
Holyoke Vet Service and STC Corp. were presented with certificates of appreciation for the donation of their time, services and that extra boost of support for the Holyoke FFA chapter.
Senior Austin Tharp was honored with the DeKalb award. This award is often considered the highest honor an agricultural student can receive on the local level. Each year a senior FFA member receives the DeKalb award for excelling in scholarship, leadership and their supervised agricultural experience program.
Additional awards presented during the evening were:
Top Fruit Sales award—Janna Smith.
Notebook award—Erin Lebsack.
Top student awards—Molly Fricke, animal science; Austin Tharp, ag mechanics; and Brett Gerk, ag welding.
Leadership awards—Erin Lebsack and Sarah Heermann.
Scholarship awards—Laura Gerk and Molly Fricke.
Students who participated in the speaking contest at the Fall District Leadership Meeting were honored for their accomplishments. Results are as follows:
Janna Smith, prepared speaking, silver; and Mariah Struckmeyer, creed speaking, gold.
Award winners at the state judging contest included:
Horse judging—Coleton Spitz, blue; Sarah Heermann, red; Patricia Adams, white; and the team of Coleton Spitz, Sarah Heermann, Patricia Adams and Janna Smith, silver.
State FFA officer and former HHS student Elisa Sagehorn addressed the members. She commended Holyoke FFA for its efforts and accomplishments this year. Relating experiences from the national convention and state career development event, she invited members to the upcoming state conference in June.
Normally the chapter would install new officers at the ceremony, but considering advisor Mike Miller's resignation, he chose to have the new advisor take part in the selection process. Miller awarded plaques to this year's officer team.
Closing with an emotional speech, Miller thanked members and parents for their support during his 15 years with Holyoke FFA. He recalled many great memories from past FFA events and ended with, "It's been a pretty good ride."

This is out of the box with a few added twist in the yoke to get the pre lean I prefer. Other than that I have not done a thing. So I would say it is about 4 fps slow compared to IBO right out of the box to your average buyers. I could fudge the lighting here and there but this was done just like most would right out of the box so you would have a fair comparison.

I will keep you posted with some long range shooting to get a feel of brace height difference from the Invasion.
