9 1/2 hdc = about 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

* Joel Drucker, who's been covering Indian Wells since 2001, provides a intriguing timeline of happenings and interviews surrounding the decision by Venus + Serena Williams to boycott the tourney. After reading it I only have one thing to say: see what you started Lena? [ESPN]
* Remember that supposed moment of tennis giving back by the ATP World Tour? More like "tennis talking smack". It seems the execs may be pulling the old "robbing Peter to pay Paul" scheme by offering tourneys a return since no Tour-wide sponsor has been secured yet. If a tourney opts for the rebate now, they won't receive monies once a global sponsor is signed. Damn you ATP...damn you! *raises fists of fury* [Doug's Sports Dish]
* Steve Tignor gives his previews + predictions for the BNP Paribas Open boy's and ladies' draws, choosing Rafael Nadal + Dinara Safina as champs and ending the men's preview by saying "you bet against Rafa at your peril these days." Good thing our boy Van wasn't listening! [TENNIS]

LOL!! Not cute at all.ReplyDelete
I find this to be more intriguing than Drucker's piece along with the rest of it that is posted.ReplyDelete
Elena .. um yeah, she said it then and then claimed she didn't know what she was saying when she said it again at Wimbledon last year. lol Funny girl.

R. Williams is a cheating scum who plays the race card cleverly according his agenda.ReplyDelete
By the way Rich, I'm not trying to start a heated discussion. My stance is pretty well known at this point. I just want those that haven't seen the match to watch it and put themselves in their (specifically 19 year old Serena) position and assess how they would honestly feel about Indian Wells.ReplyDelete
I don't think it's the fans, but more to the fact that the tournament did nothing to quell that situation for a professional player at their event.
Pamela: No worries - I actually don't mind a little heat in the DtL kitchen as you know!ReplyDelete
Ugh, I'm tired of every story from Indian Wells being about the Williams sister. They get more publicity when they don't play then when they do.ReplyDelete
I've been to IW before and it's a great tournament with great fans.
And HEY RICH!!!! :waves:
Why is everyone still holding on to this IW thing when its been over 8 years already? The sisters don't want to play there, they have made their stand very clear on that.I think its high time the world of tennis moves on.ReplyDelete
For heavens sakes Serena and Venus were only 19 and 20 back then. And if anyone thinks like Dementieva that Richard fixed their matches why would was Venus up 4-1 in their head-to-head? And y'all know how ReRe hates to lose.U think she'd have agreed to the deal?
I would still jump Roger's bones in a heartbeat. :)ReplyDelete

I finally got around to watching Serena's full interview with Jimmy Fallon. Did she seriously say that she considers herself "culturized"?ReplyDelete
At that moment I was embarassed for her but now I can't stop laughing.
HEY JIMMY!!! *waves back*ReplyDelete
He is cute....ReplyDelete

High Point, NC -- Three days after two inmates escaped from the Guilford County Jail in High Point, what are investigators doing to find them?
Guards discovered Jose Hernandez and Jose Sid missing on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Colonel Randy Powers with the Guilford County Sheriff's Office told WFMY News 2 there's an active manhunt for the escapees.
Powers said they have people actively following up on every lead and following leads of their own.
But we wanted more detail into the steps they could be taking to track down Hernandez and Sid.
WFMY News 2's Lauren Melvin spoke with three private investigators, with decades of experience in law enforcement, who filled in the blanks.
The investigators shared educated guesses with us about what the Sheriff's Office is doing and what the escaped inmates could be doing.
According to private investigator Ed Cobbler, the Sheriff's Office is likely going through every piece of paperwork. Cobbler said they're probably looking at places they've lived, friends they've had, witnesses from court and any other hangouts they know of.
Cobbler said, at this point, they've most likely submitted all of the information they have to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a computerized database that delivers information to every law enforcement agency in the country.
He added that they're also probably keeping an eye on buses, planes and cars.
"We don't know that there's a vehicle involved, but in my opinion, they may try to steal one, because that's going to be much faster transportation." said Cobbler.
Private investigator Drew Cannady said the Sheriff has likely gotten federal marshals involved, assuming the inmates have crossed state lines.
Cannady added there's a good chance the Sheriff's Office is using translators to communicate with their communities because both men are Hispanic.
As for what Hernandez and Sid are doing, Cannady said they're likely limiting their contact with people who know them well, because they know that's who investigators are questioning.
If they're smart, they'd split up, but Cobbler said sometimes they feel more comfortable in numbers.
But whether they're together or apart, they're likely trying to find money to help them get as far away from High Point as they can.
"When you have an escaped inmate, if it's for a misdemeanor or a felony, to me, those people are desperate and they will do anything not to go back in. And so, I think you have to consider those people dangerous," said Cobbler.
All the investigators agreed they're likely trying to blend back in with Hispanic communities, possibly even get back to Mexico.
And in a situation like this, likely the only way they'll be caught is if they commit another crime or someone turns them in.
The Sheriff's Office said they're not even sure what the escaped inmates may be wearing. They left jump suits in their beds.

Generation of inner ear sensory cells from human ES cells toward a cure for deafness
Hearing loss is the leading birth defect in the United States with ~3 children in 1,000 born with partial to profound compromise of auditory function. Debilitating hearing loss is estimated to affect ~4% of people under 45 years of age, and 34% of those 65 years or over.
A major cause of why acquired hearing loss is permanent in mammals lies in the incapacity of the sensory epithelia of the inner ear to replace damaged mechanoreceptor cells, or hair cells. Sensory hair cells are mechanoreceptors that transduce fluid movements generated by sound into electrochemical signals interpretable by the brain. Degeneration and death of hair cells is causal in >80% of individuals with hearing loss
In this grant application, we propose to explore, in comparative manner, the potential of at least five human ESC lines to develop into hair cells. We strive to use recently derived human embryonic stem cells for this purpose to avoid problems caused by potential chromosomal abnormalities and nonhuman or viral contaminants, which greatly restrict the use of these stem cells and render their derivatives unacceptable for in vivo studies. Federal funding cannot be used for research with these embryonic stem cell lines.
The most exciting long-term goal of the proposed experimentation is to provide an abundant source of human inner ear progenitor cells that can be tapped in the future to routinely create human hair cells for in vitro and in vivo experiments and for clinical studies aimed to repair damaged ears. Having access to human hair cells in vitro offers, for the first time, the opportunity for detailed cell-biological studies of this cell type. We envision that human ESC-derived inner ear progenitor cells can be used to screen for drugs that lead to increased hair cell differentiation. Equally exiting with regard to possible clinical applications are studies aimed at differentiating functional human hair cells in vitro, in organ culture, and in vivo after transplantation of the cells into the cochleae of deaf animal models and potentially into human patients. In the more distant future, we envisage that our proposed research will result in novel treatment strategies to cure deafness and potentially other inner ear diseases such as tinnitus caused by malfunctioning sensory hair cells, and vestibular disorders.
Hearing loss affects about 30 million Americans and consequently about 3 million Californians suffer from debilitating hearing problems, making this condition one of the most common chronic disorders. Degeneration and death of hair cells, and potentially their associated spiral ganglion neurons, is causal in >80% of individuals with hearing loss. The functional replacement of hair cells represents the ultimate treatment modality for deafness.
Clinically, the functionality of lost hair cells can be partially restored by electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve achieved with implantation of electronic devices; for example cochlear implants can provide a subset of suitable deaf patients with a form of treatment to improve hearing. In the long-term and for the benefit of patients not suitable for existing treatment, other avenues of therapy need to be explored, for example stimulation of hair cell regeneration after damage.
It has recently been shown that it is possible to generate hair cells from mouse embryonic stem cells and the herein proposed experiments aim to extend this research toward generating human hair cells from embryonic stem cells. Having devised a way to coax human embryonic stem cells into hair cells via an intermediate cell type, the inner ear progenitor cell will be a major advance for developing novel treatment strategies to cure deafness and possibly other inner ear disorders. Beside the immediate and obvious benefit for patients, we envision that technological advances that are applicable to millions of patients alone in California, but even more worldwide, bears an enormous commercial potential. Californians could consequently benefit possibly from the first biological treatments for hearing loss offered through local hospitals and the State of California could possibly benefit from local commercialization of novel biotechnology that has a global demand.
The main goals of our research are to establish an experimental protocol for coaxing embryonic stem cells into inner ear sensory cells (sensory hair cells). This work has implications on future treatment of hearing loss and balance disorders, for which no current treatment exist. We began with using mouse embryonic stem cells to explore specific experimental conditions that lead to cell differentiation in direction of the inner ear. In the last funding period, we were able to increase the efficacy of this procedure by approximately 10-fold. At the same time, we were able to cut the time needed for a guidance experiment from 2-3 months to 8 days. We have now begun testing whether human embryonic stem cells are also able to follow the same guidance protocol and we found that human cells can also coaxed toward the inner ear lineage with a slightly modified protocol. The efficiency with human cells is comparable to the efficiency experienced with the mouse cells. The time needed for initial differentiation of the human cells into early inner ear is not very much different from the time needed for differentiating mouse cells, but we still need to verify this preliminary result.
In addition to in vitro guidance tests, we have begun with assessing the in vivo potential of mouse and human inner ear precursor cells, which were derived from mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Toward this goal, we have begun to establish a coculture system in which we culture the mouse and human cells inside the developing inner ear of chicken embryos. Before starting with the more complicated in ovo experiments, we decided to first establish a culture system in vitro, which will allow us to perform more pilot tests in a more controlled cell culture environment. Establishment and initial assays in this regard have been conducted in the past funding period and we are optimistic that we will be able to assess the potential of mouse and human embryonic stem cell-derived inner ear cell types using the established in vitro tests in the upcoming funding period.
In the last year, we have achieved a major milestone by showing that it is possible to generate functional inner ear sensory cells (hair cells) from mouse embryonic stem cells using a guidance protocol that was completely conducted in vitro (in cell culture). The goal of this project is to achieve the same result with human cells at the end of the funding period. We are on track with this endeavor, but we have encountered a number of quite substantial roadblocks. The major roadblock is that human cells appear to require much more time to differentiate into mature inner ear cell types when compared with mouse cells. We are currently working on a protocol that allows us to provide a sustained stimulation of the cell signaling pathways that are needed to keep human cells on track to develop along the otic (inner ear) pathway. We have learned a lot about how human embryonic stem cells react when exposed to various signaling environments and we have made the discovery that the embryonic stem cells are able to differentiate relatively quickly into early embryonic cells (lineages), but that the development of later cell types (i.e. organogenesis), does require quite some time.
The overarching goal of this grant was to develop an experimental protocol for coaxing human embryonic stem cells to develop into inner ear sensory hair cells. This work has implications on future treatment of hearing loss and balance disorders, for which no current treatment exist. Generation of sensory hair cells and their accompanying so-called supporting cells is a complex endeavor because these cells develop from an embryonic structure called the otic placode. Generation of placodal cells is quite complex and appears not to be a default pathway, which can be explored for generation of myocytes or neural cells. Another aggravating factor was that human cells appear to require a different guidance protocol than mouse ESCs.
With 4 years of CIRM funding, we were able to overcome most of the obstacles that we encountered along the way and we are now at a point where we are able to generate human hair cell-like cells in the culture dish. These cells express appropriate marker proteins and they display the cytomorphological specializations that you would expect to find in a sensory hair cell. Still, more experiments are needed to ensure that the cells function properly. These analyses are complicated and they require an additional manipulation of human ESCs (adding a transgenic reporter). This work is still ongoing and it is required for publishing the results of the study.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Kim Nguyen, a 28-year-old accounting and marketing graduate student at Loyola Marymount University, is suing LAPD after falling out of a moving cop car and sustaining critical injuries from the event.
On March 17th, Nguyen was out with friends in Koreatown. While waiting with two others on a sidewalk for their designated driver, Nguyen was detained by LAPD officers David Shin and Jin Oh for suspicion of public intoxication.
Nguyen was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of the cop car. At one point, Nguyen was ejected from the moving vehicle and sustained serious injuries including a broken jaw and brain injuries. Nguyen had to be put in a medically induced coma to heal and may still need to have brain surgery.
Her lawsuit argues, "officers failed to secure her with a seatbelt or lock her door properly, which led to her being ejected from the car."
Surveillance footage captures some of the incident. The officers had stated that they were accelerating from a stop, however, the footage shows the car driving through a green light just moments before the incident.
"The video shows that the statement that the police officers gave the paramedics is an unabashed, unequivocal lie," said Casillas during the press conference. The graphic footage shows Nguyen, still in handcuffs, laying on the street with her clothing bunched around her waist. Officers stand over her as her legs move back and forth on the ground.
The surveillance video can be viewed below:

GREEN -- Ryan Flinn is a kindergarten teacher in the Green School District and was chosen as their "Teacher of the Year" just last year.
At 6'4," this gentle giant is teaching all of us how to make a change.
"I felt guilty preaching healthy eating choices to my students and not making those same choices," Flinn says. "I know they watch everything I do and I needed to be a better role model. I knew I had to have a goal. A goal without a plan is just a wish."
Flinn set a goal that hit close to home and has lost 50 pounds in four months.
"My family and I have a trip to Disney planned for this November and I realized I couldn't get on any rides with my son at 307 pounds. I made a promise to my wife, son and myself that I would get healthy."
There are a lot of programs, techniques and diets out there. We at Channel 3 are welcoming all success stories and want to know how each "Cleveland Biggest Loser" took off the weight.
Flinn decided on Lifestyles at Akron General Health Center.
"Lifestyles of Green has been a life changer," Flinn explains. "I didn't work out or exercise before I chose this path to a better lifestyle. I drank six diet pops a day and ate pizza several days a week. My evening snack every night was a bag of skittles. I needed to change. I am a kindergarten teacher and had a hard time tying my students shoes without being out if breath."

Conn. imposes travel ban on highways amid storm
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut's governor has announced a ban on motor vehicle travel on the state's limited access highways.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says the ban takes effect at 4 p.m. and does not extend to emergency response and recovery vehicles.
A storm is expected to bring as much as 2 feet of snow to the region through Saturday, and dozens of accidents were reported on state roadways by early Friday afternoon.
Malloy said that roads need to kept clear for emergency personnel and utility crews as the weather deteriorates.
The state coordinated its travel ban with Massachusetts and New York.

Last year I saw a 3 legged mule deer in ID. He was a young deer and still alive so I couldn't tell if it was shot off or something tried to eat it off.
My buddy and I were on his elk hunt. He killed a 350 bull. When we go to him we saw how bad of shape he was in. We decided that he was in a bad fight with another bull or Mt lion. He had multiple puncture wounds in his chest and front legs. He was very sick. When we quartered him it was pretty gross. But we felt we had to take everything and pack him out. We had to make the decision to call Fish n Game and tell them what happen and try to get maybe a cow tag since the meat was greenish and was just sickening and risk them taking the head, horns, and meat and give him a new tag. We decided not to call if fear of them taking the whole thing. You can see in the pics he was skin and bones. We couldnt tell he was sick from were we saw him. We waitede for 2hrs for him to stand up out of his bed before my buddy shot him. I guess the bright side is he didnt have to suffer anymore.
We didn't find any broad heads but we though he may have been shot with a rifle. There was a big scab on his right shoulder but we couldn't tell for sure.

Last year I saw a 3 legged mule deer in ID. He was a young deer and still alive so I couldn't tell if it was shot off or something tried to eat it off.
My buddy shot an elk with about eight inches of another elks antler shoved through its skull behind its eye into the roof of its mouth. It is believed to have been there from the previous year, makes for a very cool euro mount. Ill try to get a picture next time I visit.
My dad killed a bull in '91, I remember the year, because it was the year before I could hunt....Anywho...this bull, that my dad shot with his bow...had been shot thru the lungs with what looked to be around a .243-6mm bull...both lung were fused together and fused to the ribcage too...the bull still in the hyde on the off side...my mom still had it somewhere...
I killed a bear 5 years ago that had a broadhead and part of a carbon shaft in between the shoulder blade and rib cage...bear was fine...still have that broadhead!
I was helping skin this guy's deer in Utah about 6 yrs. ago and found a broadhead and part of shaft in it's skull.
It had gone into it's skull behind the eye and was poking out the roof of it's mouth. He shot it during rifle season so I fugured it had to be in there for at least a month. It was in a downward angle so maybe from a treestand. It was a small 3x3. Man, reading your stories...Animals can take and live with pain better than humans. Can you imagine any of these inguries to a human and doing nothing for it ?
Below are a few pictures of my buddies elk with the antler tip throgh it's skull. This was shot in Idaho and the injury was from the previous year.
I tried to post these pictures earlier in the week and it said I needed a moderators approval, probably don't have enough posts or been a member long enough to post pics which is understandable. Hope this works, it's pictures of my buddies elk with about an 8" antler through the skull behind the eye to the roof of it's mouth. This was from the previous year. Also is his mule deer, the side that is no deformed scored approx 110".
Wow that is insane! Great pics!

Return to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need any special undergraduate major to be admitted to the masters in urban planning degree program?
No, students in the urban planning program come from every type of major-from archeology to zoology. The diversity of academic backgrounds enriches the study of urban planning by bringing different points of view to every problem that students encounter.
When should I apply?
Generally, you should try to apply sometime in the fall or early winter of the year before you intend to begin the program. The recommended filing date for applications for fall admission is January 1. Students seeking to begin the program in January should generally apply before September 1.
If you are late in applying, contact the department chair to discuss options.
What tests do I need to take?
All applicants need to take the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). International applicants whose first language is not English must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 100 iBT or 600 PBT, or a score of 7.0 on the IELTS examination. Applicants with TOEFL scores from 79-99 iBT or 550-599 PBT, or an IELTS score of 6.5 will be considered for admission only with the stipulation that further course work in English be taken. Additional requirements for international applicants: http://www4.uwm.edu/cie/futurestudents/69/
How do I apply?
Complete the application form and submit the required documentation, which includes: required test scores; an official transcript(s) from your undergraduate degree and any graduate course work completed; three letters of recommendation; and a statement describing your reasons for seeking a masters of urban planning.
What do I need to be accepted to the program?
The admission decision is based on the total circumstances represented in the application materials. The program does not base decisions on any specific cut-off score for tests or grade point averages.
Students whose undergraduate grade point average is below 2.75 will be required to provide additional documentation as evidence off their ability to do satisfactory work at the graduate level.
When will I find out if I am accepted?
Students are notified of acceptance as soon as possible after the Admissions and Scholastic Awards Committee makes its determination and the Graduate School has acted on the committee�s recommendation. In most cases, a student will receive a decision within 4 weeks after all admission documentation has been received by the program.
What if I am not accepted? What should I do next?
In some cases, a student's uneven undergraduate performance may be insufficient to persuade the Admissions and Scholastic Awards Committee that the student is capable of performing at the high level required in the master of urban planning program. Such students may complete additional course work at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level to demonstrate their ability to perform. Contact the department chair or the graduate adviser for more information about this option.

Football practice set to kick off
1 2 3 Next page >
Next Monday, Aug. 19, all 56 Nassau County public high school football teams will begin preparations for the upcoming season, scheduled to open Thursday, Sept. 12 with most games kicking off at 4:30 p.m. No Saturday games will take place in Week 1 due to Yom Kippur.
Farmingdale, Garden City, Lawrence and Roosevelt are out to defend county championships. Head coach Joe Martillotti's Golden Tornadoes of Lawrence, seeded at the top of Conference III and led by record-setting quarterback Joe Capobianco and explosive Jordan Fredericks, will attempt to become the first team to win the Rutgers Cup in back-to-back seasons since Hempstead in 1985-86.
Farmingdale is the only defending champ not ranked atop its respective conference. The Dalers, who open with a trip to Plainview, are seeded No. 2 behind Massapequa. Garden City opens at home versus MacArthur, Lawrence travels to Manhasset, while Roosevelt hosts Valley Stream North in a rematch of last year's Conference IV title game.
The first three days of practice are non-contact, with helmets and cleats the only equipment permitted. Protective pads and blocking devises will be used beginning Monday, and game scrimmages can be held after the completion of 12 practices.
Developmental League continues
The six public schools — Port Washington, Great Neck North, Great Neck South, Roslyn, Jericho and Friends Academy — that comprised the majority of the league had a combined record of just 5-35 in 2011. Long Island Lutheran and St. Dominic also competed in the newly formed league last year, and results were mixed. Long Island Lutheran and Port Washington set the pace, followed by Jericho.

A Carteret County man convicted of cocaine trafficking will serve more than 20 years in federal prison, and three others now face charges in connection with the investigation.
Jason Andrew Embry, 30, of 133 Silver Hill Road, Newport, pleaded guilty to distributing and possessing with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and a quantity of crack cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance. He was sentenced Oct. 1 in federal court in Wilmington to 21 years and 8 months in prison for trafficking as a high-level distributor of cocaine in Eastern North Carolina, authorities said.
Embry�s conviction was the result of a case involving the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office, Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office and agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Wilmington, according to a release from the Carteret sheriff�s office.
Since Embry�s sentencing, the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office has closed out an undercover narcotics investigation that led to the arrest of three suspects associated with Embry, including his mother, the release said.
Dennis Franklin Graham Sr., 59, of 264 Carl Garner Road, Newport, was arrested Oct. 15 and charged with three counts each of selling and delivering cocaine; two counts of maintaining a dwelling for drug activity; and conspiring to sell and deliver cocaine.
He was placed in the Carteret County Jail under a $20,000 bond and later released. His next court date is scheduled for Dec. 13.
Vickie Frazier Embry, 52, and Jeffrey Allen Parmley, 59, who also reside at 133 Silver Hill Road, Newport, also face charges.
Vickie Embry, Jason Embry�s mother, was arrested Oct. 14 by the sheriff�s office on charges of conspiring to sell and deliver cocaine; selling and delivering cocaine; possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine; and maintaining a dwelling.
She was released from the Carteret County Jail under a $7,500. Her next court date is scheduled for Nov. 11.
Parmley was arrested Oct. 18 and charged with conspiring to sell and deliver cocaine and released from the jail under a $3,000 bond. His is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 13.

What's a point (say .01) of Ballistic Coefficient worth? Say, for example, if one round has a BC of .430 and another has a BC of .390, what's that mean in terms of performance? How much of an advantage is .040 of BC?
What's a point (say .01) of Ballistic Coefficient worth? Say, for example, if one round has a BC of .430 and another has a BC of .390, what's that mean in terms of performance? How much of an advantage is .040 of BC?
Taken from the mouth of Wikipedia:
"A bullet with a high BC will travel farther than one with a low BC since it will retain more of its initial velocity as it flies downrange from the muzzle, will resist the wind better, and will "shoot flatter" (see external ballistics).[8]
When hunting with a rifle, a higher BC is desirable for several reasons. A higher BC results in a flatter trajectory for a given distance, which in turn reduces the effect of errors in estimating the distance to the target. This is particularly important when attempting a clean hit on the vital organs of a game animal. If the target animal is closer than estimated, then the bullet will hit higher than expected. Conversely, if the animal is further than estimated the bullet will hit lower than expected. Such a difference from the point of aim can often make the difference between a clean kill and a wounded animal."
There is no set value to a "point" of a bullets BC. There are a lot of other factors involved in this. By performance I'm going to assume you're talking about wind drift.
Just run the two bullets you're considering through a ballistics program and you'll have your answer. Have to keep in mind that a smaller (usually lower BC) bullet will have more velocity than the bigger. You'll want to input your best guess for MV to be most accurate.
Here is one for an example...
260 Remington
140 Berger Hybrids (BC .618)
10mph 90 degree wind
300 - 4.8"
600 - 21.0"
1000 - 66.3"
130gr Hunting VLDs (BC .552) 75fps faster than 140s (just a guess)
300 - 5.3"
600 - 23.2"
1000 - 74.6"
How far are you planning on shooting? If 500 or so yards and under, I'd pick the faster bullet and roll with that personally.
Thank you both. And yes, I was thinking of wind drift when I posted the original question, but I said performance in case there were other things I wasn't aware of. I'm just trying to make a final decision on a couple rifles I've narrowed things down to (Weatherby Vangaurd 2 in 25-06 or Savage 11 in .260 rem). I know it's probably 6 of one, half dozen of the other, but I'm just trying to factor in anything I can think of, like BC, meat damage, availability and cost of ammo, weight, feel, etc. Trying to not overlook anything but, in reality, I'm probably just overthinking things (but that's fun too). Doubt I'd be shooting over 500 yards, so that's a good point too. Thanks again.
If it were my decision I'd go with the Savage 260 for a few reasons. The 6.5mm's are very popular right now. There is amazing reloading options, as well as many people are starting to make some dang good ammo for them. They have great ballistics, as does the 25-06. Off the shelf ammo you'll probably have better luck with the 25-06. If you reload that dont matter. If you don't reload and want to buy some good ammo for that 260 take a look at Southwest Ammo, Corbon, and Copper Creek to name a few. They all produce much higher quality ammo than you can buy off the shelf. You will pay more though.
Also, you can't deny that Savages just flat out shoot well. I personally have never owned one, but know many who do and know many more who swear by them. I've seen them shoot. I have great confidence in them, and will probably own one or two someday.
Also, Savage would be easier to source aftermarket parts for if you eventually wanted to upgrade the stock and trigger.
All very good points. I own one Savage (low end, 22mag) and I like it. I know people who own Weatherby's love them too. I don't reload, so that's one thing that pushes me toward the 25-06 (it sweems to be more available, and it also is a little cheaper). Thanks for all the good info.
Both of those are excellent cartridges. The 25-06 doesn't have as many high BC bullets available as the 6.5 cal would. Both will greatly benefit from at least 24" of barrel to get most of their velocity potential. I shoot a 264 win mag and it delivers quick kills with 140gr accubonds. That bullet won't damage much meat on a lung shot and has the penetration capability to handle tough angles. The 130gr accubond would likely be my first choice to try in a 260.
Both rifles you are testing have an excellent reputation for accuracy. The Savage will have a more easily adjustable trigger, and I prefer the tang safety to the Vanguard's push safety. If you are looking to shoot long distances though, I'd lean toward a 260 with more than 22" of barrel. In my experience nothing beats a 270 win for performance from a 22" barrel. I've had a Tikka 25-06 with a 22" barrel that gave disappointing velocities, as well as a 22"280 Rem that wasn't nearly as fast as I'd hoped. Both of these have performed very well for me from a 24" barrel. For some reason the 270 seems to perform pretty well even with a 20" barrel. I've never owned a 260, but the 6.5x284 and 264WM benefit greatly from a longer barrel with their larger cases, and I'd expect the 260 to be the same way. With it's smaller case capacity it won't gain as much velocity from the long barrel but it will still be significant.
At what I'm looking to spend, the Savage would be a model 11, which comes with a 22 inch barrel in .260 rem or 25-06. I've read that, of the two, the .260 doesn't lose as much with the shorter barrel. The Vanguard comes with a 24 inch barrel, but not in .260 rem (or any other 6.5), so that's why my choice there is 25-06.
Hornady's website has a simple ballistic calculator you could compare trajectory and wind drift between different rifle/bullet options.
Here is a quick comparison with the bullet I'd personally choose to shoot from 3 of them with a 22" barrel. Your choice of bullet design, weight, and speed may be different and will change the results. I can change the ranges, speeds, and BC of any of these choices to make it look like it stomps the others, ammo companies do it all the time, but here is an example of how I examine ballistics programs to make decisions for myself.
Rather than compare everything with a 200yd zero I did it the way I sight in. I sight my rifle for the longest zero possible without going over 2.8" high during the trajectory curve. Any higher than that and I start shooting over coyotes and smaller critters at around 180yds as the bullet reaches the top of it's arc. I zero the rifle at the longest distance I can while staying at or below the 2.8" high point of the curve.
260 Rem, 130gr accubond (BC .488), estimated speed 2800fps
max height of 2.8" at 125yds, drops past 2.8" low at 260yds, 19.6" low at 400yds
25-06, 110gr accubond (BC.418) estimated speed 3050fps from a 22" barrel
max height of 2.8" at 140yds, drops past 2.8" low at 280yds, 15.9" low at 400yds
270 win, 140gr accubond (BC.496) estimated speed 2950
max height of 2.8" at 140yds, drops past 2.8" low at 280yds, 16.2" low at 400yds
Now to compare wind drift. I usually feel that anything over 5" of wind drift needs to be compensated for on my hold on a broadside deer-size animal. Using our data from earlier, in a 10mph 90 degree wind the bullets would reach 5" of drift at the following distances
260 260yds
25-06 265yds
270 275yds
Wind drift at 400yds is
260 11.8
25-06 12.4"
270 10.7
As you start shooting further, the advantage of the higher BC bullet at a higher speed will continue to increase, and become much much more dramatic. The speed advantage of the lighter, lower BC bullet is pretty much spent by the 400yd mark and the higher BC bullets take over. If I had chosen to compare Berger bullets the 260 would have looked much better due to the high BC of their 130gr VLD. You should play with the numbers on a ballistics program like this yourself with the bullet weight & type you intent to use. Most velocities posted on a box of factory ammo or ammo maker's website are obtained with a 24" barrel, so I'd knock off 100fps from what they have posted for estimating 22" velocity.
As you can see, the differences aren't all that huge at normal ranges. In the field much more depends upon the shooter's ability than the rifles capability, but I still like getting all the advantage I can from my rifle. I tend to favor a 130-140gr bullet with a BC of around .500 with a velocity of around 3000fps for most of my hunting. This has given me good performance on game at a level of recoil I can easily manage. Managable recoil leads me to good shooting form and more practice.
For price and availablility of factory ammo the 270 will beat the other two pretty handily. Almost any bullet you see on a bullet maker's site can be found in a 270 factory load. I'm a big accubond fan and would try several factory loads to see which one loaded with an accubond shot best. I'd also have to try the 130gr Hornady Interbond, and 140gr SST Superformance loads to see if I could get good accuracy with their extra velocity.
The Savage is an excellent choice for a cheaper rifle, I don't think you will be disappointed. I love the tang safety as it never rubs into the fire position on my pack. The Ruger American is also pretty impressive as a budget rifle, lightweight and extremely accurate and also with the tang safety. It might be worth reading a few reviews on it if you are interested in a 270. After five 3 shot groups on different days while testing the reload I chose it is averaging .660" groups at 100yds. After the 4th shot it tends to start stringing shots vertically as the light barrel warms up. Pretty darn good from a $360 sub 6.5lb rifle, and all the reviews are claiming similar results. The trigger is easily adjustable and crisp, and the recoil pad is very good. The biggest downside I've seen is the forend is pretty flimsy and can contact the barrel if alot of pressure is put on it from a sling or bipod. I plan to open the barrel channel a little further.

Thank you for taking the time to share all that knowledge. I'll check out the Hornady website. I know I'm splitting a lot of hairs, but agree with you about getting whatever advantage you can. I had the Ruger American on my list originally and have read quite a few reviews. Didn't really cross it off, just ended up focussing on the other two more and more.

check out www.royalenfields.comIt shows two RE C5's with kick start listed for sale in Torronto.
Well I gotta say that a malfunctioning starter/clutch cutoff circuit has just fried some wiring for me and disabled the bike. It's now in the shop. So much for the e-start reliability argument. I want the message to get throught to India that they STILL do not have Jap-bike reliability, and need the darned kicker in the bike. That argument is a total fantasy.
I have the 2009 G5 and had problems with the starter solenoid,it was about two months before I got it fixed.I was quite happy kicking over.two kicks cold, one kick warm,I,m sure I would have had problems bump starting, I would have thought it was important to fit one on the C5 during manufacture

In their 19th career meeting, Venus Williams topped lil' sister and top lady baller Serena Williams in the Dubai semifinals 6-1, 2-6, 7-6 (3) in a little over two hours. The Wimbledon champ took the lead in their head-to-head matchup 10-9 and will face Frenchie Virginie Razzano who defeated the American in their last match at the Japan Open in 2007.
Maybe V wasn't kidding when she said her top priority this season was to kick some sisterly arse and knock ReRe from the WTA Penthouse.
Good start.
BONUS: The 7-time Grand Slammer will re-enter the Top 5 after making the Dubai semifinals for the first time since 2003. *sits in shock*

I really believe Vee can do it. We all know she's usually a late starter of the season so i wasn't that much suprised when she got knocked off the AO.Well, only a lil suprised she bowed out tht early.But i'm not suprised she's began to pick up the pace.ReplyDelete
Im so so happy Venus was able to squeeze this one out. With Maria out for so long I hav been putting all of my love behind Venus. I really think she has been the form player of the last 4 or 5 months bar the AO. Win the title Vee!!!!ReplyDelete
Usually V gets inspired by ReRe's accomplishments and vice versa so I'm thinking she's extra motivated to do well this year considering her lil' sis has now won two majors in a row and ascended (again) to the top spot.ReplyDelete
I'd love to see her up there one more time - 11 total career weeks in at No.1 is not enough!
- johanneFebruary 20, 2009 at 3:03 PM
It's refreshing to see these two play a good match as the WTA seems to be dying a slow death...so frustrating...oh well. Hey btw that's crazy how V&S have played each other as many times as Rafa and Fed have...I like it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 20, 2009 at 5:04 PM
nice win for venus. order is finally being restored in the wta. i also enjoyed serena's match against ana the other day, it was high quality too, great defensive play from both women, ana's forehand was clicking and scored points by coming to the net a lot but serena was simply too powerful and focused. i was surprised with how well they match up. hopefully, these dubai matches will be the start of greater things for the wta.ReplyDelete
V played great! Not sure if I'd call it a great match, though. It was just okay, in my opinion (maybe because I had to get up at 7am and pay 10 bucks for live streaming - I know, I'm a sucker!)ReplyDelete
Serena looked pained throughout, and Venus did a walkabout in the second set. No where near the quality of last year's Wimbledon final, but heck, it's only the semis of Dubai. I'm still thinking the Dementieva/Mauresmo match was one of the best so far this year on the WTA side.
Does Razzano have any shot at all??
as a perennial venus fan, i am worried about tomorrow's final. i think it seems as straight forward as the japan open felt a year and a half ago - and i wonder if that's going to be weighing on venus's mind.ReplyDelete
wow, seems like Vee is going all out in improving her rankings.ReplyDelete
She's even playing some clay court tourney at Acapulco, Mexico.It is so unlike her.
- WesterlyFebruary 21, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Tell me about it. I thought that Razzano might have a shot if Venus' error-spraying, set/match-point choking counterpart showed up. Fortunately, she didn't. Hope that Venus continues to play well for the rest of the year, and brings her A+ game to the slams...ReplyDelete
YAY Venus wins it!!!!ReplyDelete
Im so happy for Venus, she really deserves this as she has played the most convincing tennis of all tthe top girls this week and its great to see her in the top 5. Apart from that little blip at the AO Venus really has been the form player the last 3 or 4 months and with her confidence on the continual up up up she is going to be tough to beat at any tournament and could challenge for number 1. She definatly deserves to have been number 1 more than 11 weeks.

Donating a KidneySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Kidney transplantation is the best way known to save a person's life after he or she develops kidney failure. In the past, kidneys were only taken from living close relatives or from people who had recently died. Transplants from living donors have a better chance of success than those from deceased donors. Also, the waiting time for a cadaver kidney can be as long as 4 years in the United States. For this reason, more people are making the decision to become kidney donors.
Who can become a kidney donor?
Almost anyone can become a kidney donor. A living donor needs to be:
- In good general health.
- Free from diseases that can damage the organs, such as diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or cancer.
- At least 18 years old, typically.
What steps should I take to become a kidney donor?
If you decide to become a kidney donor, samples of your blood will be drawn for testing, including your blood type and other genetic information (which may include HLA type) to see how well you match the recipient. These tests may be repeated before the surgery if you decide to become a donor.
If your blood tests are good, you will meet with social workers at the transplant facility to discuss other obligations. You will be given information, such as how much time you will need to take off from work and details of surgery and the recovery process, that will help you make an informed decision. Your meetings with the social work team will be strictly confidential.
When will I meet with a doctor?
After you have decided to become a kidney donor and your crossmatch results are known, you will be evaluated by a doctor, usually a nephrologist. Your evaluation will begin with a medical history and physical exam. You will have a series of lab tests to screen for kidney function, including chemistry screen, urinalysis, and urine tests for protein. You may also have a CT scan of the kidneys to evaluate your kidneys, urinary tract, and other structures in your pelvis.
What is involved in kidney transplant surgery?
You will be given a general anesthetic before your surgery. Until recently, the removal of a kidney required an 8 in. (20.3 cm) to 9 in. (22.9 cm) incision on one side of the body (flank). Now, laparoscopy is usually used to remove the donor kidney. Advantages of laparoscopic kidney removal include less pain, shorter hospital stays, a more rapid return to normal activities, and a smaller, less noticeable scar.
What are the risks of becoming a kidney donor?
Donating a kidney has not caused an increase in other health problems for donors. Organ donors continue to be carefully studied by many research groups in the United States. The risk of death following kidney donation is extremely rare.
What limitations will I have after I have donated a kidney?
Donating a kidney will not cause any limitations in your normal daily activities. After the recovery from your surgery, you will be able to resume all of your normal activities, including exercising and participating in sports.
Donating a kidney will not affect your ability to become pregnant, carry a child to term, or father a child.
Who pays my hospital costs?
In the United States, your medical costs will be covered by the recipient's medical insurance. Most insurance companies cover 100% of the medical costs of a transplant, including pretransplant evaluations and lab tests. If the recipient does not have medical insurance, your medical costs will be covered by Medicare.

- National Kidney Foundation at www.kidney.org.
- American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) at www.aakp.org.

So long that the adjustments for a proper pack fit for my Cabelas Alaskan Outfitter was 3" short of where it should have been for me. I have also had my L3 and L4 vertebrae fused due to the stress over the years. I had a Badlands 2200 and wasn't impressed. It was alright. I couldn't even get my hands in the zipper pocket without feeling like I was getting skinned, as I have big hands too. I use it to hall the base camp in, unloaded it and I have my day pack for the week. It was cooler than the 2200 for me. It is really a well thought out pack, for getting in, day packing it, and getting your game out, which I haven't been able to test yet. It is easy to get into and keep organized, due to the many compartments. Lots of accessories too. I purchased mine at promotive.com but you need to be a member of one of the groups. Military and law enforcement groups are available. Got a super deal. Ebelestock people were very helpful too. I'm a loyal user,but as any pack, proper adjustments are essential, they walked me through the process. You carry the weight on your hips and use the elevator straps for comfort.

Revisiting Wes Craven's Last House on the Left
If Wes Craven's Last House on the Left was, as Roger Ebert put it, "a tough, bitter little sleeper of a movie that's about four times as good as you'd expect," Dennis Iliadis' no-frills remake is roughly the same – slicker, perhaps, but no less brutally effective. There are those who will find it repugnant, and others who will be stunned silent by its raw graphic violence. Nobody ever said going to the movies has to be fun.
While the low-budget original, which has become something of a cult favorite among hardened horror fans, has an air of disquieting authenticity thanks to its grainy, home movie-style footage and its shockingly intimate portrayals of depravity, this latest version is a far handsomer production. Is it more sanitized? Yes and no.
