Midmarket logistics managers find fault with Capital Hill
October 14, 2013
A significant majority of middle market executives agree that middle market job growth will have a significant impact on strengthening the U.S. economy (96%). Despite this, 83% believe Congress is doing too little to support the middle market; while 95% disapprove of the job performance of Congress and 70% disapprove of the job performance of President Obama.
Overall, two-thirds reported disapproval of the job performance of both Congress and the President.

Dark Skies Apparel and our Hooded Observing Vests
Posted 17 May 2010 - 09:46 AM
Let me introduce myself. My name is Dragan Nikin and recently my wife and I started a small online company called Dark Skies Apparel. www.darkskiesapparel.com Our main objective within the company is to supply cool, modern and useful apparel to astronomers. We're not talking plain old, run of the mill silk screened shirts but high quality reprints of today's finest and highest resolution images!
What I want to do here though is I'd like to give you a brief description of our signature item which we believe will be an answer to many astronomers problems. Our Hooded
Observing Vest was designed by astronomers for astronomers and has been beta tested for nearly a year now. Briefly, it has 8 EP pockets (4 of which are large enough to hold the largest oculars on the market) It has an oversized hood to help cut glare/improve contrast so that you see more detail in the objects you're looking at. No more towels slung over your head! 2 pencil/pen pockets as well as a reading glasses pocket. This isn't a photographer's/fishing vest converted to be used at the telescope. Nope. This is a real astronomers observing vest! No more climbing up and down ladders to change out an EP! Perfect for the seated observer as well who would rather keep their EP's handy and dew free! No zippers or snaps to risk scratching an ocular. 100 % cotton that's as soft as it is durable.
As an aside, if you were at this past weeks TSP near Ft. Davis, you may have seen one or two in use. We unveiled the vest and it was an immediate hit selling out twice! The feedback has been fantastic and we couldn't be more grateful! If you were down there and saw one/purchased one we'd love to hear your opinion. We have more products in the design phase as well as in production. The vests are available now but printed apparel isn't. Printed apparel will be available in another week or two.
I just wanted to send an introduction to all the CNer's and let you all know about us.
Finally, a small portion of all sales is donated to the International Dark Sky Association to help the fight against light pollution.
Thanks for reading!
Clear Dark Skies,
Dragan Nikin

I bought the last one at the TSP on Friday afternoon.
Unfortunately the clouds rolled in.
It looks great thought and I can't wait to use it.
Will let you know how it is working out.
Posted 18 May 2010 - 10:49 PM
Thanks and we're sure you'll appreciate the vest even more once you use it!
Feel free to send me your opinions on it. I'd love to use your comments on our site.
Clear Dark Skies,

I got mine yesterday. It looks fabulous. I'm looking forward to using it soon, but I can already tell it's going to be indispensable.

I got mine yesterday. It looks fabulous. I'm looking forward to using it soon, but I can already tell it's going to be indispensable.
Let us know your thoughts on the vest after you get a real chance to use it. I'm interested in getting one of these as well.
Posted 21 May 2010 - 09:39 AM
Great news and we're glad you like it! Send us a brief review when you get a chance to observe with it if you can. Feedback is extremely important to us!
Posted 21 May 2010 - 09:45 AM
Hi everyone,
Just so everyone knows, we are officially BACKORDERED! Though our Non-Hooded vests are still available, the Hooded vests are not. We're getting alot of emails regarding when we'll have more in stock. We will have more available to ship by the end of next week. (May 28th or so) Check the site often for updates or drop an email from our homepage and we'll put you on the list. As soon as we have them in hand we'll update the site and send out a mass email.
And yes. The introductory price of 60 bucks stands.
Posted 21 May 2010 - 11:57 AM
Posted 21 May 2010 - 12:03 PM
You mean $50?
The Hooded Vests have been introduced at $60. The Non Hooded are $50. These prices will remain.
Sorry for the confusion.
Posted 21 May 2010 - 01:19 PM
Did you see Darrell's? He had it during TSP.
Everyone else,
I have to say that it was an immediate hit during TSP. Jimi and I couldn't keep then in our hands as we sold them out twice during TSP. Once people saw them, they want it!
Some of the best observers from TSP got one, namely Larry Mitchell, Jim and Ana Chandler, Faith Jordan, Barbara Wilson, Steve and Amelia Goldberg, Jose Sancho, etc
Those who heard my talk during TSP, saw the hooded vest demo.
I've used it all week and it makes a HUGE difference in viewing dim and bright objects alike. Faith, Dennis and I used it extensively during our TSP AO Superthin galaxy survey. The pockets are very useful, especially going up the ladder of Jimi's 48" OMI reflector. Faith, Jimi and I had our eyepieces in our pockets before running up the ladder...so changing eyepieces was a cinch, while observing the super dim objects in the 48".
Posted 21 May 2010 - 03:11 PM
Hi Jim,
Did you see Darrell's? He had it during TSP.
Hi Alvin,
I never saw Darrell when he had his handy. I did see your talk, but from where I sat towards the back, I only thought it was a hood on a vest. I had no idea that it had all the useful pockets. I think you concentrated in the demo on the usefulness of the hood without mentioning the other features. Either that or I suffering from lack of sleep, which was more likely
Posted 22 May 2010 - 09:17 AM
Posted 23 May 2010 - 02:43 PM
Any chance you might do a white one for solar.
For me the jacket would be more essential during the day. Many of use are less willing to haul out a bunch of gear during the day. A jacket to hold a couple of EPs and adapters, and a hood to replace the blanket would be the bomb. There ain't no way I going to cover myself in black during the summer Texas sun though.
Posted 24 May 2010 - 12:11 AM
We completely understand. In fact, we actually produced a white vest w/hood prototype just for the solar crowd. But as soon as it was put on and we pulled the hood up, well.....lets just say that it too closely resembled the garb of a certain radical racist group we'd rather not have ANY affiliation with.
I suppose if the demand we're high enough we could try to come up with something though.
For an informal poll, how many people here would be interested in a white/light colored vest for solar observing?
Posted 24 May 2010 - 02:21 PM
Maybe you could modify the hood a bit to keep it from being pointed.
Posted 27 May 2010 - 02:17 PM
Just to keep you all informed.
We have a new batch of our Hooded Observing Vests in stock. They will remain at the introductory price of $60.00 until July 1st. We wanted the special pricing to last through the Father's Day Holiday.
For those who requested to be notified by email, you should have a message in your inbox.
Also. Two designs of our printed apparel SHOULD be available for purchase tomorrow night on the website. I'll keep you all informed of that.
Thanks again everyone!
Posted 27 May 2010 - 03:23 PM
Posted 28 May 2010 - 11:42 AM
The hood is huge, and will make an excellent light-shield from those pesky street lights.
An "observatory" you can wear, and hang in the closet when you've finished!
Posted 28 May 2010 - 10:08 PM
If anyone is interested, we have a two shirts available for purchase. Our "Photo Plate" series of shirts in an M51 and an Eskimo Nebula is now available.
In the near future we'll have a few more designs available as well as more shirt colors!
Pick one up for dad!
Posted 04 June 2010 - 10:10 PM
Finally got my vest. It fits very well, thank you. I'm very impressed with the quality of construction. I did not expect the lining. Very well made indeed. I can't wait to use it.
I'll have someone take a picture of me at the Craters of the Moon Star Party next week.
Posted 05 June 2010 - 02:21 AM
Thanks Dark Skies...
Posted 07 June 2010 - 10:49 AM
I received my new vest last week and have used it several times. I love it! I formerly used a piece of black cloth as an observing canopy and found it very awkward moving around the telescope and reaching for the eyepiece case. The vest allows unrestricted movement and makes it easy to switch from the telescope to binos. I also really like the ultra convenient pockets. Great product! Well constructed and a good fit.
Posted 07 June 2010 - 12:35 PM
Our 2xl vest is also being worked on. Our goal is to have those available by the end of the month. I'll keep everyone posted.
Again, thanks for the feedback. The vest is truly a product that the more you use it, the more you'll come to appreciate it!

A "Deeper" Look Into The 61st Detroit AutoramaWritten by on October 28, 2013 Contributors: Tim Sutton Downstairs (And Up) At Detroit
Last month we gave you a first look at the action from the main floor of Cobo Center, where, amongst the usual Autorama fare, contention for the 50th Annual Ridler Award was hot and heavy. But, as we all know, the real attractions often happen below street level—downstairs at Detroit, as we here at R&C like to call it.
The Autorama Extreme, as it's officially been dubbed, is where the Average Joe feels right at home; a place where hot rodders from all necks of the woods converge—with or without a car, bike, what have you—and do more than just sit around. Downstairs is literally where the action's at, whether it's the pinup girl contest with upwards of 50 models or, our favorite attraction, witnessing Gene Winfield doing one of the things he's best known for: chopping a top in a full-size Custom Shop diorama (sponsored by Genuine Hot Rod Hardware). And sprinkled within the vehicles on display are vendors of all types, offering wares ranging from Gear Drive's latest driveshaft tube headers to Rolling Bones T-shirts.
All said, taking everything in that the basement has to offer is, to say the least, a bit time-consuming; the place is packed wall-to-wall all Saturday and Sunday, so we suggest to any and all newcomers with even the slightest bit of claustrophobia: show up Friday! Fortunately, even with having to set up our 60th anniversary booth upstairs, we had the opportunity to wander around the entire Autorama before things got too crazy. Along with the heated 2013 Ridler rivalry, the 50-year celebratory display of past Ridler winners, and more, this was undoubtedly a Detroit for the record books...and one that will surely be tough living up to come this time next year.

It's always a pleasure bumping into Gene Winfield—even more so when he's wielding a torch (and welder, body hammer, and grinder) and severing the lid of a 1939 Chevy coupe! Thanks in part to Genuine Hot Rod Hardware, the Autorama Extreme had a full-size diorama of Winfield's old Custom Shop where he and volunteer top choppers plied their skills.Though this was taken during set up on Thursday, the party-like atmosphere downstairs at Detroit's Autorama Extreme is no different once the show's open to the public … actually, it's worse (in a better way, of course!). The blue 1929 roadster belongs to Jason Poirier of the Road Devils Car Club.We'll keep our opinion of fenderless truck-rods to ourselves, simply saying, "Nice job!" to John Schumont for his efforts with "Truckus Modifius".According to its owner, Jim Richmond, the "Richcraft Special" was "respectfully built as a 'tribute' to the late Bob and Dick Pierson …"That respect seems to have made its way beyond the complimentary coupe and onto an equally well-built, well-styled '54 F-100 as well.Another name familiar to R&C, Jason Graham, showed this year, not just with a hammered hot rod as we'd have suspected, rather, a hammered custom—a Willys custom at that. Nice to see a 1940-41 "not" done in Gasser fashion every now and then, especially when they're as clean as this.Look sort of familiar to anyone? Chris Ito had the real deal 1940 Ford Standard from the James Dean flick Rebel Without A Cause. Since acquiring, he's done a few things here and there (addition of steelies and whitewalls for one), but still plans to further backdate the coupe closer to its former Rebel glory, starting with the removal of the ghost flames.
It may have started life with a roof, but ol' No. 17, the Champion Special Model A, is sure a clean "convert" in our book.The Rolling Bones brigade has definitely made a name for themselves with their trademark patina'd style.Downstairs saw two early Fords in the namesake guise, each perched atop a bobbed chassis, among other characteristic features.Compact is cool. We'd have a hard time choosing between the two lakes-style T roadsters—how about you?Hot-rodded or stock, mild or wild, Motor City Hot Rods had quite the display of 1939-40 Fords on the Autorama's main floor—Bob Adams' Flatty-powered coupe was one.Speaking of different, here's a new take on the tried-and-true red steel wheel look. Those Shannon cones look good—maybe better accompanied by some thin whitewalls on the low-profile tires?! Clean dual-quad GS Riviera nonetheless.

By Jeff Mason and David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Tuesday threw his weight behind a temporary fix for the depleted Highway Trust Fund during an event to tout his administration's work with the private sector to develop cars that communicate using wireless technology.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives was poised on Tuesday to approve a $10 billion infusion for the fund, enough to keep money flowing to road, bridge and transit projects at least through the end of May 2015.
Without new money, the Department of Transportation has said it will start to cut back federal funding for projects by nearly a third on August 1, putting hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. Congress begins a five-week summer recess that same day.
White House support for the 10-month extension has annoyed some Democrats who are opposed because it would push decisions on long-term funding to a newly elected Congress next year.
Obama weighed in on the issue shortly after taking a wild ride in a car simulator at a highway research center in McClean, Virginia, near Washington.
"The good news is there are bipartisan bills in both the House and the Senate that would help with a short-term fix. And I support that. At the very least, Congress should be keeping people on the job who are already there right now," Obama said.
"But all this does is set us up for the same crisis a few months from now. So Congress shouldn't pat itself on the back for averting disaster for a few months, kicking the can down the road for a few months, careening from crisis to crisis when it comes to something as basic as our infrastructure."
The Highway Trust Fund, which has been supported by fuel tax revenues since its inception in 1956, has run chronically short of money in recent years because of higher construction costs and improved vehicle fuel economy. Trucking firms and many other industry groups favor an increase in fuel tax rates, which have remained unchanged since 1993.
House Republicans have ruled that out, and their temporary measure would be funded by revenues from pension accounting changes and increased customs fees, which have received support from both Democrats and Republicans in the past.
The Senate Finance Committee has approved a similar extension, with some different offsets to improve tax compliance. Both versions would also transfer $1 billion in existing money to construction projects from a fund for cleanup of leaking underground fuel storage tanks.
During his visit at the research center, Obama touted work on so-called vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication technology to improve navigation. The technology allows cars, trucks and other vehicles to send real-time information wirelessly, an innovation researchers hope can help reduce accidents and boost fuel efficiency by alleviating traffic.
"As the father of a daughter who just turned 16, any new technology that makes driving safer is important to me," Obama said, referring to his oldest daughter, Malia.
U.S. regulators are already crafting a proposed rule that would require all new vehicles to use the new technology, which could be put in place by early 2017, before Obama leaves office.
The event was meant to showcase efforts to ensure vehicle-to-vehicle communication is safe, pointing to a joint effort between leading carmakers and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
Ford Motor Co, General Motors Co, Honda Motor Co, Hyundai Motor Co, Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz Research and Development North America, Inc., Nissan Motor Co, Toyota Motor Corp, and Volkswagen AG are all part of the research effort, according to the White House.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a $10.9 billion extension of U.S. transportation funding through May 2015, a measure aimed at averting cutbacks in August in federal money for road, bridge and transit projects.
The measure, paid for largely through revenue generated by pension accounting changes and higher customs user fees, passed on a 367-55 bipartisan vote, despite opposition from outside conservative groups.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that "as soon as I can get to it," the Senate would begin considering a similar, $10.8 billion measure with some alternate funding provisions in the coming days.
Without new money for the Highway Trust Fund, the Department of Transportation has said it will start to cut back federal funding for projects by nearly a third starting on Aug. 1, the same day Congress begins a five-week summer recess.
"If Congress fails to act, thousands of transportation projects across the country and hundreds of thousands of construction jobs will be at risk," said House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster, a Pennsylvania Republican. "This legislation provides much needed certainty and stability for the states."
The Highway Trust Fund, which has been supported by fuel tax revenues since its inception in 1956, has run chronically short of money in recent years because of higher construction costs and improved vehicle fuel economy. Trucking firms and many other industry groups favor higher fuel tax rates, unchanged since 1993, to return it to solvency.
But House Republicans have ruled that out, and the biggest revenue source in the House-passed bill is often called "pension smoothing," which allows companies to reduce near-term contributions to employee pension programs by assuming a higher, historical average rate of return. That move is expected to boost corporate tax collections by the U.S. Treasury by about $6.4 billion over 10 years.
The bill would transfer $1 billion in existing money to construction projects from a fund that helps pay for cleanup of leaking underground fuel storage tanks.
The $10.8 billion companion measure passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate Finance Committee would also fully fund transportation projects through May, although it would rely less heavily on pension changes and more on revenues from measures to boost tax compliance.
The White House said on Monday it would welcome the 10-month extension, to the chagrin of some Democrats who say it would push any decisions on long-term funding to a newly elected Congress next year. Among those is California Senator Barbara Boxer, who Reid said would get a Senate vote on her plan for a shorter, $8 billion extension. Boxer has argued a shorter extension is needed to force Congress to act on a long-term funding plan during the "lame duck" legislative session after November elections.

Hey guys,
I have a customer on ZCS 7.1.1 on SLES 11 that experienced a SAN crash. Well, the whole ZCS install is damaged, but I have the LDAP database working. MySQL databases are almost all unreadable. I've been thru the procedures to recover the crash but the files on MySQL have been so heavily damaged that I can't dump the information from there.
Basically I just need mailboxd to come up now. All other processes are already working. Right now it won't load due to the inconsistencies.
Is it possible to wipe these dabatases and start over? I'm looking into avoiding a reinstall, in an attempt to at least preserve the accounts/passwords that are already created. The mboxstore databases are almost all damaged. the store folder has 25 thousand files lost on lost+found. Customer doesn't like backups, and doesn't mind losing his existing content.
In the meantime I'm already downloading ZCS 8 to start over. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Taking a look at NRF numbers and CSCMP's Annual Conference
October 06, 2011
At a time when economic conditions remain in a holding pattern, the National Retail Federation today said that projected 2011 holiday sales will follow suite, with holiday sales—defined by the NRF as sales in the months of November and December—expected to be average.
NRF officials said that 2011 retail sales will be up 2.8 percent over 2010, coming in at $465.6 billion. This expected growth pales in comparison to the 5.2 percent annual increase in 2009 over 2009.
But let's not forget just how bad, I mean easy, of a comp year 2009 was for 2010, before we start calling 2010 the "good old days." If it was, it means a great many people were late to the party or simply not invited.
Even though the projected 2.8 percent rate for 2011 is less than a year ago, it is worth noting that the NRF said it is slightly higher than the ten-year average holiday sales increase of 2.6 percent.
Regardless what the numbers tell us, though, not much is really changing in a meaningful way, it seems. I am pretty sure we all knew that.
So instead of lamenting the fact that retail sales look mostly flat at a time when a while back we were all hoping for a strong second half, and finish, to 2011, we now listen to new voices of optimism for a "true" recovery in 2013. We have been hearing for roughly five years that things will be better by the second half of next year, so we are just hitting fast-forward.
Even with that backdrop, it is worth noting that there were as many optimists regarding the economy as there were pessimists when talking with people on all sides of the road, whether it be shippers, carriers and logistics services providers, consultants and analysts, and academics at this year's Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Annual Conference in Philadelphia this week.
That is a good thing. People have different reasons for coming up with different conclusions when gauging market conditions.
Some people told me they are worried about what is happening with not enough positive economic signals out there (which is hard to dispute) and chronically high unemployment numbers. Others said they think things have bottomed and that we will see gains in economic improvement sooner rather than later.
Who knows who is right? Tough question to answer.
While retail sales projections tell us not to expect much anytime soon, the refreshing part of attending CSCMP this week was that it is beyond obvious that this industry is constantly evolving, when it comes to things like new supply chain strategies, ways to approach managing capacity, trying to figure out how to deal with the driver shortage problem, existing and pending regulations, the pros and cons of being "green," energy prices, and the biggest trends in the 3PL industry. Of course, there was also cloud computing repeatedly coming up as a topic of conversation.
That is the tip of the iceberg, really. There were many other things discussed, which we shippers and carriers can learn from and incorporate into their daily business lives. That is what makes events like this a true learning experience with many takeaways. That is what makes events like this worth the time and planning every year, coupled with making new friends and catching up with old ones.

Global Logistics: Asia Pacific's challenges and opportunities in market integration
September 01, 2012
Real GDP in China grew only 7.6 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2012, its slowest pace in three years, observes IHS Global Insight Economist Sara Johnson. While the current slowdown in China is not nearly as severe as it was in 2008 and 2009, she says that in many ways China is more "vulnerable" now.
"Credit markets are overstretched, house prices are still unsustainably high, commercial banks are weak, and local government debt is high," says Johnson. "All this suggests that growth this year and next will only be in the 7.5 percent to 8 percent range. On the other hand, given the recent aggressive policy response by the central bank and government, the odds of a hard landing are no more than 25 percent."
Japan's economy, meanwhile, bounced back after its crippling earthquake and tsunami, and a period of contraction. Rebuilt supply chains and investment added to the growth. However a strong yen continued to have a negative impact on exports and led to an increasing migration of manufacturing to its neighbors.
Ti analysts say that Indonesia is expected to be one of the strongest economies in the region, with retail sales growing at 25 percent a year. Malaysia and Thailand are expected to recover from supply chain disruptions, although will be hit hard by weak export markets in Europe. "With Western markets stagnating," observes Manners-Bell, many economies in the region are looking to intra-regional trade for stronger growth prospects."

Firstly, if you aren't looking at the Back2ITSM group on facebook then you are missing out - go sign up, now! Let me explain what it is and how it is brand new and full of ITSM tradition at the same time.
Secondly, it is about people talking with each other. That's the bit that is the same as it's always been. The willingness to share ideas, help others – even those in competing organisations – is just exactly like many itSMF regional meetings I have been to, in UK, Canada and New Zealand; except that now we are all in three at the same time.
Of course, social media isn't new, and facebook is not the newest kid in town. But what is 21st century about this kind of group are the immediacy of comment and dialogue and the wide spectrum of simultaneous participants it allows. Since it has active members from all across the world, there is constant input and comment.
OK, so we have all know that the technology for this has been around a while. After all it is 'just' about real time input to a forum – and we now have about 20 or 30 people across the world presenting their opinions to an audience of 500+ (lurking is positively encouraged). For me what is important is precisely that I am not aware of the clever technology or feel all the time that I am using a novel means of communicating or even just how damned clever the whole thing is. With this group I have reached stage three in my own 'using technology' scale: comfort and taking for granted.
Stage 1 is when you are using some new way of doing things just because you can. This isn't just about IT of course, many of us may recall how such things have affected our choice of travel (my
example is choosing an airline because they had A380s on the route, and even if a bit dearer I had never been on one of them before …).
Stage 2 is when the mean is no longer overwhelming the ends – you're using it now because it is logical to do so, and it is delivering value. But, you are still very aware of how cool it is. And you probably keep telling other people how cool it is too.
Stage 3 is when your focus is totally on what you are doing. I can now just read what is written, comment if I have something to say. You know it's a normal conversation because it goes off at tangents, people get flippant, say daft things, agree, argue, make subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) digs at each and launch jokes that no-one else notices. In short, it's normal human conversation, without thinking about how you are achieving it nor where all the people are, or what time it is there.
And to me this is a good motif for successful technology. It isn't when it is there and running that the implementation part is properly over. Real success is when people don't notice it any more, but just get on with using it, unconsciously – as part of their everyday lives.
It's one more example of how success is about being invisible. First time I flew in an A380 I was excited about it – last time I was watching a movie before we reached the runway. That's success. (Ok, so there was a little re-attention on the technology after the Qantas 380 had an engine explode but I am back to ignoring it again now.)
So the important lesson and message that I see is how we need a customer perspective on the introduction of new technology. And maybe what you actually want is people to stop telling you how impressed they are, because then they are getting on with using it, which was, after all, the real point of the exercise, wasn't it?

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love the bag. Fits loads of gear/clothes/shoes/beer/wine/whatever you pack. Zippers work flawlessly. Bag is lightweight and folds flat. Mine came with a removable lightweight hard plastic liner to keep the load flat, which was helpful. ONLY COMPLAINT: the stock shoulder straps are not really suited for carrying as a backpack, which I wanted to do. Bought replacement straps and it worked like a charm. Used this as only bag for 12 day trip to Spain/Morocco and it was perfect. Plus plenty of week-long or weekend trips in between. Even when packed full, if you leave one of the two side compartments empty it will fit PERFECTLY in the overhead compartment of a 737. Small Colorado based operation. Buy this bag. 5 starts if they fix the shoulder straps.
phil, can you tell us where you bought the replacement straps and which ones you bought? id like to do the same! thanks!
i got the mountainsmith strapettes. I think they're intended for a lumbar pack, but they seemed to do the trick for this. Good luck!

Do theoretical physics, the women will throw themselves at you,
Do theoretical physics, the women will throw themselves at you,
im taking a quantum mechanics class right now. its a mindfuck. im probably gonna pursue a physics minor.
I would pursue a career in theoretical physics, but there's no immediate demand in the US for them, since the US has like a million dollar science budget. All of the research is pretty much directed in Europe now. If I did go through with the PhD, and if things over here stay their course, I'd probably end up in either finance or teaching
Rayne tell us about your quantum escapades
just got back from lab. we used atomic spectra to identify an unknown element - it was really cool!!
qm is really hard because nothing makes intuitive sense. you can have photons going through two slits making an interference pattern on the screen but the moment you try and take a measurement at any slit without altering the course of the photon the pattern disappears. you can have a particle in a finite potential well (think ball in a box with finite walls) that classically doesnt seem to have enough energy to escape but still has some small probability of disappearing and reappearing outside the well. its so WEIRD.
WHY is this thread still alive?
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT
lord started a thread about masturbating and suddenly its about literature and quantum physics

David Foster Wallace - Infinite Jest: 10/10
Everyone should read this book.
i hate these dreary post-modern writers. i appreciate that they have appeal but i'd much rather read a poem than a savage indictment of modern society
but then again i never *finished* infinite jest so maybe im not qualified to judge
Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if you didn't finish Infinite Jest you can't really write off the novel and say you got the point, it requires full reading to truly understand what's going on. Repeated readings, even. How far along did you get into it?
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
David Foster Wallace - Good Old Neon; 8.6/10
Gaito Gazdanov - The Spectre of Alexander Wolf: 8.2/10
J.D. Salinger - An Ocean Full of Bowling Balls: 8.5/10
The real strengths if these stories lay in the shattering conclusions of each of them. I suppose referencing tCitR have it bonus points as well. Paula was quite enjoyable, a real mindfuck of a read. The whole publication after death and leaked on the internet thing is fun too.
- Statements like 'everyone should do x' should be avoided. There's not a deontic quality about it - certain people should perhaps do certain things, that's about it. Would you recommend Infinite Jest to everyone you know?
- I got halfway through Infinite Jest, so I am not as qualified as you to judge it. However, I often find that what is expressed in a novel can be very easily expressed in something shorter: a poem, perhaps, or a play. Maybe what is expressed in Infinite Jest is simply inexpressible in all other literary forms, but that's unlikely.
- I love you Lord.
David Foster Wallace - The Pale King: 9.5/10
I enjoy The hell out of Lovecraft but it isn't really terribly well written. Sure it's innovative in that it became a genre it itself but really his prose is pretty predictable. Never read a lot of his poetry. The Terrible Old Man is a fun little short story though.

26th Annual Mopar Nationals - A Columbus ConvergenceWritten by on February 4, 2007 The 26th annual Mopar Nationals, As Good As Ever
It's a gathering of large-by-huge proportions. every August, all-things Mopar converge on National Trail Raceway near Columbus, Ohio. The event should be considered an "at least once in a lifetime must-do" for any Mopar enthusiast.
If you like racing, they've got it. Do you like looking at restored and modified Mopar show cars? they have that too. Need a part? You'll find it at the Nats.
This year, the event theme was the year of the Barracuda. Every year of Plymouth's mighty muscle Barracuda was represented and even included two of the Sox & Martin race cars.
If you weren't tired enough from walking the show grounds, you could spend the evening cruising. Brice Road has always been known as the place to go after the show, but the small town of Heath, just east of the racetrack, is quickly becoming just as popular as an after-hours destination for cruisers.
While we could go on and on about what happened at the Nats, let's get to showing you what was there.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, gives all walks of Mopar life a weekend of Mopar fun that is unsurpassed-just ask these guys. The burnout contest is always a crowd pleaser, but you need to sign up early if you want to be one of the limited participants.If racing gets your blood pumping, the Nats have so much of it that the staging lanes are a virtual parking lot with cars waiting their turn down the track.This year featured the Barracuda, and you could see every year of the model that was built and even some with options that you couldn't get.This 440-powered ride's owner deviated somewhat from the stock style and added a Six Pack with a GM-style air cleaner. We won't knock the use of a GM part because it did look good.When I went to school, my principal never drove a cool convertible like Mrs. Berndt of Knox, Indiana. The '69 Satellite features small-block power with an automatic transmission for economical cool cruising. If my principal had driven something like this, I might have enjoyed all those walks to the office.
With the price of pre-'71 musclecars skyrocketing, more people are finally paying attention to the later model cars Ma Mopar offered. This '74 Road Runner with the GTX option is one of seventy-four built and is completely unrestored. John Rockovich of Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania, is the proud owner of this 440-powered gem.Mark Tracy of Lafayette, Indiana, brought his '70 Dodge Charger to be judged in the Street class. Additions of aftermarket wheels and a car color-keyed engine with chrome tinnage add a nice touch to an otherwise stock-looking car.Harmless shenanigans are always a fun part when any group of guys get together. Check out the way the sign was changed at a local hotel by some guys having a good time.On Saturday afternoon, a memorial was held in honor of the late Ronnie Sox. Thanks to collector Todd Werner, Herb McCandless was able to get behind the wheel of the '70 'Cuda for a trip down memory lane and the quarter-mile.Just when you thought you had seen everything, the recreated High and Mighty made an exhibition pass for the spectators. This car has been painstakingly recreated, and the sight and sound of it going down the track was unbelievable.
Do you like A-Bodies? David Laube of Findlay, Ohio, does and brought his '72 Duster to prove his point. The Duster is powered by a warmed-over 440 with a Six- Pack.If you like the early Mopar muscle cruisers, you're like us and are glad that Rod Larson made the trek from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, with his '63 Max Wedge clone.

What is the difference in the real world between the new Swarobrite 10x42 EL and the older model?
Can you really see a difference?
What is the difference in the real world between the new Swarobrite 10x42 EL and the older model?
Can you really see a difference?
In my opinion if you have the money the swarobrites are worth it. Put them both on a tripod and look through them and you can tell a difference. I bought the EL's because the Swarobrites had just come out, and I couldn't pass up the price difference between them.(EL's were on sale) EL's are still excellent glass, just wish I had bought them years ago.
Shoot STR8
I don't know if you are asking about the older ELs w/ Swarobright coatings or the brand new "Swarovision" ELs. Swarobright is Swarovski's marketing name for dielectric prism coatings. Dielectric coatings primarily decrease the amount of light that is lost bouncing off the mirrored surface of the prism, which leads to a brighter image. The Swarovision is a totally new design that incorporates ED glass objectives. They also have a super-low distortion view. This can be a problem for hunters, however, because a lack of pincushion distortion can cause the image to appear like a "rolling ball" when panning. The rolling ball effect is annoying to me, so I prefer a little pincushion distortion, which the older ELs and SLCs had. The amount of distortion in a binocular is not a flaw, but is intentionally designed into the binocular. Some people do not notice the rolling ball effect, and love the new Swarovision. It has very sharp edges.
Hope that helps.
I have the old EL's and love them, I was staring through a pair of simmons 10X50s for years and wondered why i got a headache after a few minutes, I will never go back to cheep optics, they are worth the money. But in your case i'm not sure the new addition a huge difference, or advantage
Thanks for the help.
I found a pair of 2004 10x42 EL's in really good shape and bought them. I currently have a pair of Cabelas Eurovision that are pretty nice but I think the Swaro's will be a step up. I really couldn't spend two grand for a new pair so it sounds like I actually made a good choice.
We shall see tomorrow.
LOL you'll love the swaro's. If I had the money I'd have a pair of 8X32 or 10X32s for backcountry hunts as well
I just bought the new Vortex Razor HD 10-42 and am very impressed with them. before i purchased them i compared them to the Swaro EL's and the SLC. I could of afforded the EL's but i couldnt find that big of a difference for another $1000. I would say the Swaro are definatly a better bino, but not that much better. hope this helps and good luck.
Those Razor HDs are nice bins. I am sure you will get some good use out of them. Nice to see another Bitterrooter on the forum, too!
I have received the Swaro's and there is definitely a difference between my Cabelas Eurovision and the EL 10x42.
If I paid full price for a new pair I can't say they are worth the extra cash.
Bottom line is they are better, sharper and better color rendition.
I am ready for bow season to try them out.

I guess Astronomics actually has the mounts and the tripods but they're waiting in an adapter to actually put the mount ONTO the tripod.


text: Kinda-sorta mulling around the idea of getting a new scope before this coming deer season, especially for my NV hunt. I like the looks of the Kowa TSN-663. Anybody here used one? Opinions? Also, does anyone happen to know how big the Kowa 20-60x eyepiece lenses are? Its hard to tell from the factory photos, but I want something with a good sized "rear" lense.

Its been along time since I posted here. Around 8 month I believe. I've come back to tell everyone how things are going and to cut it short things aint good. I've been off fin for several months after experiencing some nasty sides that I noted in my previous post back in June. As of now things are better but not 100% I'm still having sexual dysfunction I say sexual dysfunction because its more then just my penis that's not fully working. In the past 8 months I've been very ill and visited the doctor many times. I've been told my liver function is poor and I'm scheduled for a biopsy soon. Aside from that IL tell you how I've been since stopping fin. Back in June my libido was rock bottom I couldn't get or maintain an erection. I felt like a walking zombie. Fast forward to now and things are just the same. Weak erection, Low libido, No penis sensation, Low ejaculate volume, Low ejaculate power. I've had every blood test out there. Testosterone, dht, estrogens, cortisol, thyroid, vitamin & mineral deficiencies. Everything coming back normal. Personally I believe the fin has messed with the signals between my brain and my penis. My mind often wonders while trying to have sex. Porn doesn't even excite me. I feel as though I could go forever without sex and wouldn't be bothered. I also think the fin has somehow irritated my prostate. I have very healthy sperm but low ejaculate fluid. I've had no test on my prostate so I'm not sure for certain. I'm not here to put anyone off using fin I'm sure its different for every man. But one thing is for sure if I could go back now know what this has done to me I would never have even considered fin. To everyone that's thinking about this drug please think about it because the side effects are very real. Good luck all. Regards, Ryan.

Marco della Cava, Elizabeth Weise and Gary Strauss , USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO - Thousands of spectators gathered on the shores of San Francisco Bay early Wednesday, where they scrambled for vantage points to watch Oracle Team USA capture the America's Cup in one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.
The winner-take-all race against challenger Emirates Team New Zealand ended about 4:38, sending jubilation among the race crowd over winning sailing's most prestigious and best known race began with with little interest.
Oracle Team USA had come back from an 8-to-1 deficit in the first-to-nine series to win eight straight races. Oracle Team USA, backed by Silicon Valley software billionaire Larry Ellison, tied the series at 8-8 Tuesday. Its sleek 72-foot catamaran won the first of two Tuesday races after New Zealand, plagued by poor pre-race positioning and two penalties for making contact with Team Oracle's USA's craft, greased a 27-second win. The American 11-man crew won the second race by nearly one minute.
Fans began staking out prime viewing positions early Wednesday.
On the Marina Green near Fort Mason, Sam Hansen was among nearly 1,000 awaiting the race.
Hansen got up at 6 a.m. Wednesday to hop on a flight from Phoenix.
"I've been watching America's Cup since 1983, and I really wanted to come to San Francisco this morning,'' he said. "I just made it happen. I've been watching it on TV and just willing this boat on."
The appeal? "The best technology and the best sailors in the world coming together,'' said Hansen, sporting an America's Cup baseball cap.
A newer sailing buff, Ron Lighten, drove in from the San Joaquin Valley town of Modesto, about 1½ hours away.
"I was here earlier watching the Emirates team bully everyone on the water. I was sure they were going to win this thing,'' Lighten said. He decided to see the final race "because they'll be talking about this 100 years from now. This is history.'
Chicagoan Cameron Skye Biddle, in San Francisco for Oracle's five-day conference OpenWorld corporate conference, decided he'd take a break to see the last race. After all, Ellison, Oracle's CEO, "caused a stir yesterday by not showing up to his keynote speech, and half the crowd left," Biddle said.
Biddle is an avid sailor in Chicago. "This is a big deal, especially the fact that the event is in the U.S," says the systems administrator. "Some of my sailing buddies won't believe I was here for this."
Clearly,though, the crowd was entirely behind Team Oracle.
"We're Scottish. We always go for the under dog,'' said Alan Forgan, from Cooper, Scotland.
Forgan's brother, Eric, and other family members from Warwick, England were planning to watch the race from San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf.
"It's only because they have an English coach that the U. S. team is winning now, you know," said Eric Forgan. "Of course were rooting for New Zealand."

In response to red75's comment:
I think you have to envy the position both the Oilers and Jets are in this offseason. I could see both teams being cap teams next year (Chipman has already said as much) and they have oodles of cap space, with a lot of good UFA's on the market, while a lot of other teams will be hancuffed either by the cap or by low budgets. Both will have a great opportunity to bolster and or revamp their lineups, without a lot of competition due to other teams' cap restraints.
I think Mike O'Connell had a similar thought process in 2005.
I don't envy either. Both teams are pitiful and will not be relevant for at least the next five years.

To the editor:
There are two things President Barack Obama likes to do: Travel on our dime and spend our money. He shoved Obama-care down our throats, spent billions to bail out major corporations whose leadership led them into trouble and wants to cut into the benefits I paid for during my working career.
Now he has proposed raising minimum wages to $9 per hour.
In the �40s, the United States of America was an industrial giant capable of arming the world during World War II. Americans drove American-made cars. Most of our major manufacturing has gone away because wages and taxes are more favorable elsewhere. When we go shopping, a check of the country of manufacture usually reveals the item has come from someplace outside of this country. Even Vietnam is now exporting clothing to this country.
While major corporations hire thousands of people, small businesses hire many more people. And government is one of the largest employers in the country. What happens when you raise the minimum wage? First, you increase the cost of doing business. Second, there is a ripple effect in that higher-paid employees also expect a raise. Third, you increase the cost of goods to the consumer. Fourth, you cause people to be laid off because their employer cannot afford to pay the increase without increased business.
So, who benefits from such an increase? The federal government can collect more taxes from those who are still working; of course, now they will have to pay out more in benefits.
In 1950, an income of $20,000 a year was upper middle class. Today, it is not enough to support a family of four. How can a man with no experience in industry correct or control how businesses operate? The USSR is an example of a socialist country controlled by the government. It failed. Is that what President Obama wants for America?
America was founded and grew based on individual responsibility and accountability. Settlers braved ocean voyages in wooden sailing ships to find a better life. Some became indentured servants to pay for their voyage. Pioneers traveled west for months � across a continent � to improve their prospects. The government did not provide anything for them.
It is time to behave as our Founders did and be responsible citizens � not like Romans of Nero�s time looking for handouts.

This dish is awesome indeed i sauteed my shrimp in onion,garlic,butter first set aside continue with the recipe as follows!!!
I made this receipe and it was delicious. At first, I was worried the sauce was going to be too thin but as it sits, it thickens. You may have to add a small amount of seasoning (salt, Accent, pepper) to your liking but other than that, it's great. I have also made it with chicken breast versus shrimp.
Just made this for dinner and it was a hit! Had to tweak it a bit. I used regular instead of low sodium broth. I seasoned the shrimp with lemon pepper while it was cooking. I used the Philly lemon and herb cooking cream instead of the cream cheese cubed and I (accidentally) used Greek vinaigrette instead of Balsamic only because I wasn't paying attention when I reached for the bottle. Didn't use the extra Parmesan on top either. I also added more shrimp, approx. 1/2 lb. more. The whole pan is gone!

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- If you don't have a college degree, can you find a job making higher than minimum wage?
Yes, but you do some skills and may need to pay for training. And you may have to get a little dirty.
Ever wonder what a garbage man makes? The ones who drive the automatic trucks that grab the garbage cans for you? With no college degree, they are making $19 dollars an hour. That's the same salary this letter carrier is making, although the postman says he started at $11 an hour and worked his way up. No degree required. Ditch diggers start at $15 an hour and a more skilled underground utility worker can make $22 an hour and up.
If you prefer more delicate work and you'd rather be inside working with people, how about the hair industry? No degree is required, but you do need to go to hair school. That cost Trisha Staples $15,000. Now, after three years as a stylist at Eclips Salon in McLean, at only 28 years old, she's worked her way up to a decent salary, close to $60,000.
Eclips has an apprentice program which starts employees out washing hair at $10 an hour. They do pull in at least $15 with tips.
Twenty-five-year-old Andy Kim, who immigrated from South Korea, went through the program and is now a full time stylist. He's making more than $30,000 a year, but he knows that there's great opportunity for growth in a high end salon like this. No college degree necessary. Owner Diane Fisher says all it takes are the skills required along with hard work and a very nice salary could follow.
"There's some here making $200,000. I think it's great. I love It. I love the fact I've been able to give people the opportunity to have a good salary and do what they want," Fisher said. She herself is a successful businesswoman with no college degree. Fisher started in the business 40 years ago working the desk at a salon in Burke.
"I had little kids and I needed something to get out of the house," she said. She was good at it and worked her way up to management. Eventually, she was able buy her own salon.

Visitor spending increases in all 100 N.C. counties
Figures from the state Commerce Department show visitor spending increased in all 100 of North Carolina's counties in 2012.
Data from the department's Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development showed that Mecklenburg, Wake and Guilford Counties had more than $1 billion in visitor spending in 2012. In addition, Dare, Buncombe, Forsyth and Durham Counties all had more than half a billion dollars in spending.
Domestic visitors to and within North Carolina spent a record $19.4 billion in 2012, an increase of 5 percent from 2011. Visitor expenditures directly generated 193,610 jobs and more than $4.3 billion in payroll income within North Carolina in 2012.
The visitor spending figures come from an annual study commissioned by the Division of Tourism and conducted by the U.S. Travel Association.

I have found that email software is one of the least sophisticated programs extant, hardly improved since CompServe and Netscape Messenger, in fact, many of their features have been lost in the dumbing down of emial software "clients" over the years.
Where does Zimbra DeskTop stand as it tries to go beyond "mere" email -- has Zimbra DeskTop negleted "mere" email in trying to do to many other things, so none of Zimbra DeskTop's email features are done well, and none of Zimbra DeskTop's overall features are market-leading let alone market-defining?
I expect each new software I try to be smarter and easier than the last software I tried; here are some initial observations at my frustrations and chagrin at Zimbra DeskTop 7.1.4 GA (build 11299) as of 2012-06-13:
1 - Make the web support forums as multi-paneled as the Zimbra DeskTop so we can keep a list of threads on one side of the screen while reading the contents of each thread on the other side of the screen -- otherwise, scanning, searching, and selecting for existing problems and resolutions is arduous and much too iterative if I have to open multiple screens over and over trying to browse other people's solutions.
2 - Make Zimbra DeskTop folder contents number count default to [ xxx ] total count instead of ( xx ) unread count, and give us a way to control this. I can't see if my folders are synchronizing, which I could do if it showed the total contents count. Instead I have to click on each folder over and over, only to be told "... no results found ...". It's nice that Zimbra DeskTop (and Yahoo web mail) lets us hover over the folder name and it pops up a total count, but until Zimbra DeskTop synchronizes ... that count in Zimbra DeskTop is incomplete -- so, perhaps add "... synchronizing with host not completed, count not accurate ..." would help AND let us know that Zimbra DeskTop is trying to complete our expected tasks. I have no idea if Zimbra DeskTop is working on syncronizing folders, so ...
3 - Make a [ Sync ] control so we can force synchronizing and watch and keep track of synchronizing success --make synchronizing a fine-tuneable activity with an indicator showing progress.
4 - Import / Export PST files to aid migration from "the competition" -- also incorporate Import / Export files for Netscape Messenger and it's offspring ... on down to Thunderbird ... we have archives going back to the 1980s that we'd like to bring back on-line and make available for searching, sorting, and selecting.
5 - Add a [ Copy / Backup / Update All to Local Folders ] feature so we can bring a copy of our cloud data local in order to build and maintain our own archive.
6 - Allow us to load ALL "conversations" when marking them, moving them, controlling them -- 50 at a time on screen is arduous, and I have tens of thousands of "conversations" to go ... argh!
7 - Allow us to right-click anywhere and control the thing we are pointing to, such as right-clicking the top-bar or side-slider on "conservation" display windows and allwoing us a [ Shown / Load ALL ] control.
8 - When I hit [ Ctrl ] [ End ] while pointing to a list, I expect to go to the end of the list, not the ned of the current display -- again, only 50 displayed emails (you call them "conversations", an abberant, inappropriate, and inaccurate term) does not a folder make. When I ask to go to the end, take me there, even if you have to put up a message, [ ... please wait, synchroniging ... 50, 100, 150, ... ] and so on until [ ... 3,016 ... done... ] or whateveer (I have a folder with 134,000 or more emails, and I do not expect to manually force synchrinizing and display by dragging the slider one 50-email screen at a time!), auto loading until YOU finish the work I have requested -- Zimbra DeskTop isn't much of a program if I have to do all the work!
9 - I have a we folder with 3,164 items, ZDT FINALLY shows 3,111 items (close!), yet the ZDT display window of the contents stops at 2,232 items and will not allow me to scroll any more -- should I tank ZDT and move on or can we work something out? Please, give me hope for my folder with 134,000 items in it! ... and finally, it won't let me change the entire contents to [ unread ] even though there are many [ read ] items I want to reset ...
10 - Every time I re-sort a displayed folder, it reverts back to [ 100 conversations ], loosing all my hard work forcing it to load and synchronize the folder's more-than-100 items. Seriously?
I'll stop at 10, I have better things to do. Let me know when some of these issues cross you rprogrammer's assignment event horizons! Thanks for what looks like a wonderful program otherwise so far -- I appreciate that you want to steer it to VMWare cloud management, not Yahoo email from whence you bought it -- I can only hope and wait for it's email savvy to become more sophisticaed.

Born: 12/07/1988
Birth Place: Melbourne, Victoria, AU
Emily Jane Browning was born on Dec. 7, 1988 in Melbourne, Australia. At age eight, a classmate's father who was in show business spotted her acting in a school play and encouraged her to secure an agent. Shortly after, Browning made her big screen debut in the made-for-TV drama, "The Echo of Thunder" (CBS, 1998), followed by recurring roles on a number of Australian television series such as "Something in the Air" (Australian Broadcasting Company, 2000-02) and the popular crime drama, "Blue Heelers" (Seven Network, 1994-2006). But her big break came when she landed a lead role in the horror film "Ghost Ship," in which she played a young girl who died mysteriously on a luxury liner and comes... Continue Bio >>

Furloughed federal worker? Frustrated that our national parks are shut down? Or maybe just a little angry after happy hour? A new website is connecting the masses with the lawmakers behind the government shutdown and encouraging them to take out their frustrations in a booze-fueled rant.
DrunkDialCongress.org encourages users who are mad at Congress to "Have a drink and tell them."
Looking for a little inspiration? DrunkDialCongress.org also offers "talking points" – gems such as "You jerks are costing the country $12 million bucks an hour" – and drink recipes including "The Bad Representative" and "The Sleepy Senator."
Users enter their phone number and the service calls back from a toll-free number with a quick recording explaining the mission of the website. It then connects to a Representative's office, apparently chosen at random.

Good info here. Keep it rollin'!
Good info here. Keep it rollin'!
Alright here we go.................when using a decoy get as close you can, preferably 200 yrds or closer before raising the decoy (get in his territory), and make sure the buck doesen't see you put it up. This can be tricky and I know it's been said many times before but no matter how flat the country looks there is usually more contour than one would think. Study the lay of the land and go for it! I have attempted many stalks that were not ideal conditions, but like I mentioned earlier, with antelope hunting you can get many stalks in a day. The more you try, the more you will learn. Oh, I almost forgot, make sure you invest in a good pair of knee pads and pick up a copy of Mike Eastman's book, Hunting Trophy Antelope..............and don't leave home without it!
I know some guys that killed nice antelope with a bow out of that unit. They set up on water holes. Now is the time though to go scout and put your blind up to mark your hole. Good luck
if you put your blind up now remember to put your name and phone number in it in a bottle so people can find out when you will be hunting.
Another thing to consider when deciding wich way to hunt is the fact that when you sit on a water hole, you are more limited to the antelope that will frequent that hole. When you spot and stalk you can choose which goat you want to go after. Just something to take into consideration when looking for a trophy antelope. Not saying that the B&C bucks don't have to drink, but just something to keep in mind. The trick here if sitting on water would be to get some good scouting in to try to determine which antelope are watering at which hole, as they are territorial animals.
Last edited by Pronghorn73; 06-05-2011 at 01:11 PM.
If your hunting public land, just set your blind up the morning of your hunt. This is if your using a portable fold out blind. My experience has been the antelope don't care. Just make sure you have no moving pieces flapping in the wind when the blind is set-up. The quickest way to spook the antelope, is movement or sound of the blind.

Your right on Stringmusic, last year about 20 head watched my brother and I set the blind up in the evening and the next day they came right in. The day after that we got to the blind a little late and they busted us getting in from about 1000 yrds, we watched them for 6 hrs and the buck pushed his does right in...........fatal mistake, my brother took him at 30yrds. The cool thing about this particular pond we sit on is it sits right under a small mountain and the antelope come over the top from the west in the morning and we have a perfect view of them as they feed down to the water. They get to the pond between 1:00 and 2:00 every time.
I hunted pronghorn in Oregon out of a blind and in Wyoming spot and stalk last year with the bow. I would say the most productive way to get within easy bow range is out of a blind. It isn't as boring as I expected and I look forward to doing it again.
How pronghorn react to a new blind depends a lot on where your hunting and how dry it is. I tried to set up the day of the hunt last year and never had an animal come near the first three days and I watched them drink there from a distance the day before season. There was more water close by and given the option of accepting the new blind or going elsewhere they choose to go elsewhere. I was set up and in my blind in the dark so it wasn't that they caught me. I later moved to a much drier area and they came to water the day I sat the blind up. I guess it is obvious that to hunt a blind you want thirsty critters! THe thing is the best bucks were in the area with a lot of water....
I spot and stalked my antelope (same antelope) at least 15 times before I sealed the deal. Great accomplishment for me, but I doubt I'll ever do that again. It just so happened that I was on a jobsite that allowed me to hunt every morning and evening.
I'm just not wired to sit and wait.

Welcoming May, harbinger of happier days
(Page 3 of 3)
One of my favorites is May 7, National Teachers' Day. I was a teacher myself, and I love and respect the teachers I've known. This year I'll celebrate the career of my sister, Meryl Greenbaum, who retires next month after more than two decades of teaching third grade at the Ogden School in North Woodmere. Meryl is the teacher we want for our children: She draws from a deep well of empathy and patience and brings grace, good humor and exceptional talent to her profession.
She has worked very hard for many years, and I have a hunch that, come May 14, she may be celebrating Dance like a Chicken Day.

I've just installed ZDC 7.1.4 and find it very nice. However I've got trouble understanding how I configure the client to use TLS when sending mails (using the starttls command).
I can only see that I can setup SSL in the SMTP sections when setting up my IMAP account. I need to use TLS and not SSL to be able to get everything dandy.
Also, is it possible to get the client not to check the certificates, it wouldn't allow me to setup an account without using a proper CA signed certificate.
