Goodguys Event At Kansas Speedway - Fast Trucks Go Left?Written by on December 22, 2010 Goodguys At Kansas Speedway
Wow, what a blast! It was raining when I arrived in Kansas City on Thursday, September 2. I thought, what gives with this weather. As soon as I unloaded my stuff at the hotel, I checked the local forecast: clear and sunny with a slight breeze. I unpacked shorts and a T-shirt for the first day of the event. The Friday morning drive was a little nerve racking but in a good way, kind of like a kid going to Disneyland for the first time. I had never been to Kansas Speedway, and I didn't know what to expect but the unexpected. When I pulled up to the speedway I was in shock at how nice it was and at how big it was. The Goodguys sure know how to pick locations to house their huge event.
Once inside the gates and under the tunnel to the infield of the track, I was amazed at the amount of cars and trucks on the premises. Usually Friday is the slower day of the three-day event, but in this case, by 1 p.m. the infield was almost packed. I kept overhearing last year's visitors saying how hot it had been the year before, and how nice the weather was during the event. By 3 p.m. I spotted a few trucks that would make great feature vehicles to photograph for the magazine, but the only hard part was tracking down the owners to see if they were interested in being in CLASSIC TRUCKS. I usually leave a card on the truck with a little note, saying, "Call me, please". A few hours later I get strange phone numbers popping up on my phone, and know that the owner received the card.
Saturday morning was also perfect weather, and I woke up early enough to shoot two feature trucks on the premises of the Speedway. Thanks to Harry and Bill of Goodguys for letting me photograph vehicles at the event. After the shoot I looked around and the cars and trucks were piling in by the dozens. I made a quick walk to the front entrance of the track to see the vehicles coming in and hoping to spot a Finest Five-worthy truck. I can't tell you how hard it is to pick the Finest Five winners, because usually there are way more than five really nice trucks. Kansas was no exception, and, in fact, some trucks were there that I wish I could have taken home.
The autocross course was one highlight that you couldn't miss because of the roar from the V-8 engines, and the screeching of the tires around tight turns. I got the chance to see two trucks on the track and was eager to see more. I would like to build a multipurpose street and autocross truck just for the Goodguys shows and all-around fun driving, so to see people making my dream a reality is inspiring to see. Detroit Speed has a Camaro that blows me away every time I see it rip around the track. The Camaro flew so fast into the first turn you would think that there was no way it was going to make it but it always did with precision. Now only if they could get a truck to do that.
By Sunday I had picked four of the Finest Five winners and was looking around for a fifth truck. I spotted one and asked if he would like to go on the track for a photo shoot. It turns out I had more than one driver interested in going on the Kansas Speedway where the high-speed banked turns are around every corner. If you look at the cover photo and the lead photo for this editorial you will notice it's on the Speedway. What a blast, this long weekend ended up with all the good people and the opportunity to go on the track with some really nice classic trucks. It was an event for the books.

The '67 Chevy has been through a metal transformation in the suspension department, like RideTech four-link and Mustang II frontend. The interesting part about the build is that Shipers grafted a '59 Impala dash and painted it high-gloss red.
All I can say is the picture does this '55 Ford F-100 no justice. Lance Hogan came all the way from Charleston, Illinois, with a 390 FE big-block and C6 transmission-powered Ford. A Heidts IFS kit handled the suspension and the Coker whitewalls set the truck apart from the crowd. Hot rod feel and styling says it all with Hogan's clean '55.Mitch Titus from Overland Park, Kansas, originally was building a '56 Chevy as tribute to the rat rod scene. His friends were against the whole not-done look, but they knew once he got started he couldn't resist but make the truck nicer than just a beater rat rod. Titus says he learned a lot about working on his truck when he had no choice but to do it himself. Seeing the details like a '56 Corvette steering wheel and '59 rearview mirror built into the dash makes me want to give up on my truck and let Titus finish it. Look for a full write up on this truck in the coming issues.The Roadster Shop built this award-winning '57 Suburban. The details that were put into this unique people hauler were outstanding. Details like a custom-built frame, suicide rear doors, frenched firewall, and rear taillights are just some of the clean work performed on this one-off 'Burban. The Roadster Shop is known to build cars and trucks that can handle an autocross track; maybe one day we will see it there.

Republican Phil Bryant of Brandon won the Mississippi governor's race Tuesday, defeating Democrat Johnny
DuPree of Hattiesburg.
Bryant will take office Jan. 10 to succeed Republican Haley
Barbour, who couldn't seek a third term as governor.
The 56-year-old Bryant makes history as the first Republican to succeed another Republican as Mississippi governor in modern times.
Barbour unseated a one-term Democrat, Ronnie Musgrove, in 2003.
DuPree, 57, is the first black candidate to win a major-party
nomination for the Mississippi governor. He's in his third term as mayor of Hattiesburg.
Bryant outspent DuPree 7-to-1, and the two nominees avoided criticizing each other during the campaign.
Republicans have held the governor's office for 4 of the past five terms.

Dude, that's pretty sweet stuff.
This isn't quite the small project it started out as! This is a set of textures and transparent pngs that cover floor textures, walls, doors, lightsources (lanterns, firepits, forges, torches and so on), barred grates and set dressing (tables, chairs, chests, treasure, rugs, pits etc). Feel free to download these and use them. They were designed for use in maptool and can be used there to quickly make dungeons.
The set is here:
A Short How To
1. Map->Quick Map->Black
1a. Make sure the map has grid size set to square and 100px.
2. Pick the Drawing Tools and choose Draw Rectangle
3. Select one of the floor textures as the fill, set the line style to transparent (double click the colour selection window then hit cancel on the dialog).
4. Make sure you are drawing to the background layer.
5. Hold down ctrl to snap to grid.
6. Draw out your corridors and rooms.
7. Switch to Interaction tools (the pointer) and make sure you are on the background layer.
8. Find the tiles in the resource library and drag them onto the map.
- I find it useful to lay dow the stairs and other ground level terrain items first, this helps with the z-ordering of the pngs later.
9. Once your floor and wall items - the terrain - are all laid in, switch to the object layer and fill the dungeon with tables, chairs, chains and so on. These are in the Items folder.
Hope that helps. A similar thing can be done in Gimp or other picture editing programs. Indeed, in Gimp 2.6 you can just drag images from the folder onto the current image and they appear as a new layer which makes it very easy to composite a map. I'm sure that the above steps can also be repeated in Battlegrounds, Viewingdale or other VTTs.
--- Original Post ----
I need to put together a map that has moving corridors. So I started creating a series of dungeon tiles. I quickly found that it's easier to create a texture and separate walls than create every possible tile from scratch. Anyway, with a growing collection of tiles I can get things that look like this:
The repeating floor texture is:
A couple of walls here:
and the stairs are here:

I came out of lurking just to say how much I really like that texture and the use of it!
Now that's good to hear. I'm taking suggestions on things to include. I'm trying to hit all the main elements required for dungeon construction.
Fantastic, Torstan! Great tiles with the usual artistry mixing the semmingly disparate ideas of a rough sketch and wonderfully accurate artwork.
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.

I'm doing dungeon fabric right now. I'll have a separate folder for the furnishings, but currently I've got all your crates, tables, beds and tapestry needs covered. Unfortunately they were first created for a secret map I can't talk about until after April 9th
I'll get the portcullis and altar done though - they are good ideas. I already have some pillars, I might do another for variation. I also want to add a dais, and some barred walls.
Oh, now here's a question. The 1st edition DMG had a symbol set in it somewhere as a legend for dungeons if I remember rightly. Now sadly I did not manage to bring my 1Ed library over the pond so don't have it handy. If anyone does (Turgenev - I'm looking at you), could you post a list here? That's got to be one of the more definitive breakdowns of dungeon furniture out there.
Neat stuff Torstan...

Thanks. I've got a lot of them covered but that certainly showed up a few holes. Spiral stairs are the most pressing I think. Fireplaces are also fairly high on the list.

I administer a small system and we're auditioning new clients; we plan to deploy soon and Zimbra has already made a great impression on our superiors. I would like, however, to be able to present them with some hard numbers about access times, etc.
I would be very interested to learn if anyone has done any testing on Zimbra with JMeter or Selenium and if you'd be willing to share the details of your samplers with the forum. I've already thrown the standard samplers at it (requesting the main page, loggin in, etc.), but I would like to know if there are any other "pressure points," so to speak: what are some good HTTP or LDAP requests I can automate for testing purposes?
Any other advice about testing a deployment for about 50 users would also be appreciated.

The durable Dürer
In the Reformation era, Albrecht Dürer used new technology to advance excellent art the way Luther used it to advance biblical theology. Five centuries later, Dürer's art is in a traveling exhibition, and it still soars
"The durable Dürer" Continued...
As the Internet is changing communication now, so the printing press did half a millennium ago, and not only for writers. Artists until then could paint or sculpt and hope their creation would last in one public place. But soon after Gutenberg's mid-15th-century innovation, artists who devoted themselves to print media could produce multiple copies for private homes.
One artist in particular specialized and excelled in intricate woodcuts, engravings, and etchings: Abrecht Dürer (1471-1528). Art historians view him as the greatest master of the printed image besides Rembrandt, the leading melder of northern European and Renaissance styles, and a true graphic entrepreneur during the first century of the printing press. But he's also interesting theologically, as he became a fan of Martin Luther during the last decade of his life.
Dürer's work is available in books, but I first realized his genius when viewing 100 of his greatest works recently on display at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York City. That exhibit is now at The Mobile (Ala.) Museum of Art; in January it will be at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Fla. It's worth visiting, and it's worth learning something about this artist whose father "was very careful of his children to bring them up to honor God."
That's what the exhibit catalogue shows about Dürer's relationship with his dad, who helped him gain a good apprenticeship and the opportunity to study in Italy. Dürer then opened a shop in his hometown of Nuremberg in 1495 and began producing and selling engravings and woodcuts. Instead of depending upon patrons or church commissions, Dürer hired an agent who sold his prints at fairs throughout Europe.
The cover illustration of this issue, which we playfully tied to politics, is from Dürer's The Apocalypse, the first publication ever (1498) by an artist designing and printing his own book. The book was what today would be called a graphic novel, a sequence of 15 woodcuts with text from Revelation in both a Latin edition and a German one.
The 27-year-old Dürer took artistic license with chapter 6 of Revelation: In the biblical text the four horsemen of the Apocalypse ride separately, but here they form a thundering posse. Three of the four ride on galloping steeds; the fourth, death, rides a rib-showing, hungry nag over the jaws of hell. The book apparently sold so well that a Strasbourg printer latched onto the action with a pirated edition in 1502. Dürer himself released a new edition in 1511.
Three years later he produced a work famous in art history for its technical brilliance, "St. Jerome in His Study." The church father sits at his writing desk at the vanishing point of a central perspective view, with light coming through the bull's-eye glass panes of the tall windows. He is seizing the time, presumably translating the Bible into Latin, while surrounded by objects-like an hourglass and a skull-that show how time flies while we slumber; note the sleeping dog and drowsy lion in the foreground.
Dürer was often on the lookout for subjects that would sell. In 1515 he produced a large print of an animal few in Europe had ever seen, a rhinoceros. Dürer himself never saw it, but relied on written descriptions sent to Nuremberg of a rhino that had arrived in Lisbon from India, a gift to the king of Portugal. Dürer deliberately left no right and left margins, so that the rhino's bulk fills the space and threatens to burst the image's confines.
The teaching of Luther that began the Protestant Reformation in 1517 heavily influenced Dürer. He attended the Augustinian Church in Nuremberg and listened to a sermon series offered by Johann von Staupitz, Luther's mentor, who preached on Christ's atonement rather than our own works as the key to forgiveness from sin. When Luther disappeared after the church council known as the Diet of Worms and few knew whether he was living or dead, Dürer offered a prayer: "O God, if Luther is dead, who will henceforth deliver the Holy Gospel to us with such clarity?"
Dürer wanted to produce a portrait of Luther, whom he called "this Christian man who has helped me out of great distress." He never did draw Luther and never did formally renounce Roman Catholicism, but Dürer's Protestant sympathies must have become evident by the time he wrote in 1524 that "because of our Christian faith we have to stand in scorn and danger, for we are reviled and called heretics."
Luther, like Dürer, understood how the printing press gave great liberty to individuals to see and read for themselves. Luther's primary impact was not as a producer of treatises but as a very popular writer of vigorous prose. Between 1517 and 1530 Luther's 30 publications probably sold well over 300,000 copies, an astounding total at a time when illiteracy was rampant and printing still an infant. Like Dürer's rhinoceros, the Reformation pushed its way to the edge of its theological frame-but then pushed further, with a wide variety of denominations and churches emerging. Some of them still celebrate Reformation Day every Oct. 31 and will do so later this month.
Dürer did produce in 1526 an engraving of Luther's younger associate Philipp Melanchthon, and put below it the humble inscription, "Dürer was able to draw Philipp's face, but the learned hand could not paint his spirit." Maybe, but Dürer suggested Melanchthon's intelligence by giving him a high forehead along with a large eye that seems capable of piercing darkness. Melanchthon in 1530 was the lead writer of the Augsburg Confession, one of the Reformation's leading documents, but Dürer had died in 1528. When Luther heard of the artist's demise, he wrote, "It is natural and right to weep for so excellent a man."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - In the last few years, D.C.'s food trucks have exploded. There are hundreds now, serving everything from Korean tacos to mac 'n cheese.
But now some of those truck owners are complaining that new regulations proposed by the city could drive them right out of business.
The city says the issue is that sidewalks and streets are public space. At lunch hour on a Food Truck Friday at Farragut Square, it can be tough to negotiate your way through all the people in line.
The city's proposal would ban food trucks from any downtown sidewalk with less than ten feet of unobstructed sidewalk.
The Food Truck Association went out and measured the sidewalks at the ten most popular spots -- and just two passed muster. "We found eight out of ten of the most popular food truck spots, where customers want us to be, would not be legal under the proposed regulations," says Mike Lenard of the association.
Right now, food trucks can park in any legal spot. And the city thinks they're past due for some regulations But John Lisle of the DC Transportation Department also says the city has been talking with food truck owners to try and work something out. "It has nothing to do with trying to limit their ability to do business in the city. We're just responsible for the transportation network and assuring it can be used safely and efficiently."
The food truck association says if you drive all the trucks away from the most popular spots -- where they're making money, paying taxes, employing hundreds and feeding thousands -- you'll drive a lot of the trucks right out of business.
People have until Tuesday to tell the city what they think of the new proposed rules.

The Fashion Show: America Has Spoken
July 24, 2009 12:52 AM by Britteny Elrick
Tonight is the big night as America will crown the winner of The Fashion Show. Last week it was narrowed down to Anna, Daniella and James-Paul, who presented their collections after working on them for ten weeks. Keep reading to see how it all went down and who is now the winner of The Fashion Show season one!
All of the designers reunite with the judges. They talk about how they are doing since the show and Andrew says he's been selling tons of clothes. For some reason, the deem him the "PantiChrist." They show a recap of Reco's journey to the final four. Isaac tells Reco that he has a very loyal fan base and that people were going to boycott the show because they cut him. Fans also asked if all the judges were smoking the same crack pipe when they decided to choose James over Reco. Everyone is laughing and joking, but Reco is straight up serious. He says, "I know how TV works."
Then they move on to Daniella's slideshow. The judges inform her that the fans think she's somewhat of a bitch. She doesn't care. Then they show clips of Merlin and Johnny's "decoy" collections that were presented to the press. They ask Johnny if he is finally ready to fess up to copying the Maggie Gyllenhaal formal dress. He actually admits that "it was pretty bad."
Now it's time for Anna's journey. All of the designers chime in and say how much they liked her collection and admired her work. Then they actually get to the good stuff and show the designers bad-mouthing each other's designs behind the scenes.
Finally, they show clips of James-Paul's time on the show. Surprisingly, alot of the designers loved his collection and feel that he is edgy and unique. That's true, but I still wouldn't wear one solitary garment. Then out of nowhere, they have a segment on how no one can interpret what Merlin is saying through his accent.
They bring out Glenda Bailey, Editor of Harper's Bazaar. She tells all the designers that she respects their passion and that she offers free guidance to them any time they need it. Then they show a collage of the judges' favorite moments – a.k.a. criticisms. After that, they announce that James-Paul's dress sold more than anyone's on Bravo. I'm sorry, what?
Out of the final three designers, the judges choose Daniella's as their favorite collection. She receives $10k. Glenda tells her that she has several designers she'd like to introduce her to, and Daniella starts overheating and rapidly fanning herself.
First, they announce the third place winner: James-Paul, who only received 19% of the votes. The winner will receive $150k and will have their collection sold on bravotv.com. The lucky lady, receiving %56 of the vote, is Anna!

I'd have to agree with what dihardhunter has to say. Getting a 4 yr degree keeps you making technician wages. And if you want to contribute more who ever you work for may always just consider you as a technician (my experience) and so your opinion might not matter. . So now I am working towards wrapping up my master's degree. However, departments like the US Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service have programs called "Student Temporary Employment Terms" or "Student Career Employment Positions" in which they are basically paid internships and gain experience while getting a Bachelor's degree. Its one way to get your foot in the door for working for such departments.
I'm looking at getting a PhD in the future. I've found what I enjoy the most and that's wildlife research. Dihardhunter- keep in mind that although pickings seem slim now, hopefully sooner or later, positions will open because professors and researchers have to retire sometime. I look forward to reading some of work in the future in JWM.

Have questions about this product?
Weird fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
These fit so weird. They were big in the waist.. very low rise... not practical. I wish they fit well because they looked pretty good. but I can't imagine the back draft I would get. Sigh. Back they go.
Super skinny fit?
I just received my pants for my snowboarding holiday in two weeks and I think I'm in trouble. My son said I'll be boarding like Flash Gordon, well if that means boarding with my ass out then I guess that's what I'll be doing. I bought these pants in extra large despite never having ever worn an extra large in my life, but based on the fact that the waist measurements given for extra large were 79-81cm. These pants have a circumference of 105cm!!! I took 1 step and they fell down, another step and a foot was out, a third step and they were off. I am so disappointed and worried now, as at the checkout I got hit with a $50 postage fee (for international delivery) despite "free shipping" displayed everywhere the entire time up until the last moment of purchasing. So a cheap pair of pants have now become a huge waste of money, I still have no pants for my holiday, and it seems impossible to contact Dogfunk.
Have you tried the live chat feature on the bottom of this page? or emailing customer service since you are an international customer?
Sick Pants
I got the red ones and love them. Worn them quit a few times. Fit is great, nice length which is hard to find in W's pants. The material is quit durable. Been hugg'n some trees and no rips or damage.

Dover, DE (Sports Network) - Denny Hamlin won his second consecutive pole by
posting the quickest lap in Friday's qualifying for the FedEx 400 at Dover
International Speedway.
Hamlin, who drives the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota with FedEx as his team's
sponsor, turned a lap at 157.978 mph for his third pole of the season and the
15th of his Sprint Cup Series career. He won the pole for 600-mile race at
Charlotte last week.
It's also the second straight pole win for Hamlin at Dover. He started first
for the September 2012 race here.
Hamlin continues to march forward in the point standings in hopes of making
the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The 32-year-old driver missed four
races -- Martinsville, Texas, Kansas and Richmond -- while recovering from a
compression fracture in his lower back that he suffered during an accident in
the March 24 race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. After finishing
second at Darlington and fourth at Charlotte, Hamlin has moved up to 24th in
points. He was 31st prior to Darlington. There are 14 races remaining before
the Chase begins.
Martin Truex Jr., who hails from nearby Mayetta, NJ, earned the outside pole
with a lap 157.798 mph. Truex's lone victory in NASCAR's premier series came
in June 2007 at Dover (215 races ago).
Hamlin's teammates Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth qualified third and fourth,
respectively, giving JGR three of the top-four starting positions. Ryan Newman
completed the top-five.
Mark Martin took the sixth spot, followed by Kevin Harvick, who won last
Sunday at Charlotte, Brad Keselowski, the defending series champion, Joey
Logano and Jamie McMurray.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualified 12th, while his Hendrick Motorsports teammate,
Jimmie Johnson, placed 24th. Johnson is the current points leader and winner
of last year's spring race at Dover. He is tied with Bobby Allison and Richard
Petty for most all-time wins at this track with seven.
Danica Patrick will start 39th.
All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the starting field for Sunday's
400-mile race at Dover, which is scheduled to start just after 1 p.m. ET.

Michael Annett Battles at the Monster Mile for 15th Place Finish at Dover International Speedway
Posted by: lori on May 17, 2010
Tagged in: Germain Racing
Contact: Maggie Martin, Rising Star Management Group, firstname.lastname@example.com
Dover, Del. (May 17, 2010) – The No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers team had to battle all day on Saturday at Dover International Speedway's Monster Mile, but stayed focused and resolute to leave with a decent finish. In the 11th race of the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series season, Michael Annett overcame hindrances to bring home a 15th place finish.
Starting the NASCAR Nationwide Series Heluva Good! 200 33rd, the young driver worked hard the entire race and gained valuable track position each lap of the race. The Germain Racing team showed their determination and fought to the end.
"Although we faced some hits throughout the race, we didn't let it stop us in our tracks. This No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers team proved their strength and pushed to the end for our 15th place finish. Michael ran consistent fast lap times, as fast as the leaders, to race his way into the top-15 and the guys did a great job on pit road," said crew chief Ryan Fugle.
Annett reiterated his sentiment, "I'm very proud of our team for pulling off the finish we did. We showed that nothing can stop us. We'll continue to prove our ability throughout the season to push our way further into the championship point standings."
While battling his way to the front, Annett was spun when the No. 20 made contact with him on lap 33, causing slight valence and fender damage. Annett made two stops on pit road under caution where the No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers pit crew was able to make repairs along with putting on four new tires and filling up with fuel, sending Annett back out on the track to restart in the 29th position.
Now one lap down, Annett was battling for the Lucky Dog Free Pass. On lap 104 when the third caution of six came out, Annett was back on the lead lap as the Lucky Dog and restarted the race 19th.
Back in a rhythm, Annett was running lap times faster than cars competing in the top-10, and by lap 166 had moved his was into the top-15.
When the fifth yellow flag came out on lap 193, pit strategy came into play. Calling the shots from atop the pit box, Fugle opted to change two tires and take no fuel when the No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers Toyota Camry came to pit road. Annett restarted 15th.
When the flag dropped for a green, white, checkered finish, a nine car pileup caused a red flag delay.
In a second try at green, white, checkered finish to the Heluva Good! 200, Annett was working his way toward a top-10 finish when the No. 12 made contact with Annett's No. 15 Toyota Camry, pushing him into the turn four wall coming to the checkered. Despite the collision, Annett was determined to finish and was still able to wheel his way to a 15th place finish, his second top-15 at Dover International Speedway's Monster Mile.
The No. 15 Germain.com/Pilot Travel Centers team will now head to Daytona International Speedway to test the "New Nationwide Series Car" on Tuesday and Wednesday. The next race for the series will be on Saturday, May 29 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Watch and listen live at 2 p.m. ET on ABC and PRN Radio.

MORRISTOWN - The outcome is the most important objective in tournament basketball, but not even that was enough to stop River coach Rick Isaly from shaking his head.
"What can you say?" Isaly asked. "I think this had to be our worst performance of the season."
Even with that being the case, the Pilots still found a way to get it done.
Scoring nearly as many points as it had in the first three periods, River (17-6) used a strong fourth quarter to fend off a scrappy Frontier (14-9) squad in Monday's nightcap at Union Local High School, 39-30, to advance in the Division IV sectional tournament.
River will tangle with 21-2 Bridgeport - a 68-38 victor against Beallsville - in the lower bracket sectional final at 8 p.m. The teams split their regular-season matchups with each winning on the other's home floor.
"I am just glad to get out of here with a win and move on," Isaly said. "Having said that, we didn't do any of the things we worked on or that we asked the girls to do."
Regardless what area of the game you examine, the Pilots just didn't play well. They struggled from the field, shot 10 of 26 from the foul line and had 20 turnovers.
"We didn't have one girl get into any sort of flow on offense," Isaly said. "I don't know. We had probably our best week of practice and I really thought we'd play a good game, but it sure didn't happen that way. We know that this time of the year that if you don't play well, you normally go home."
Isaly is correct that all of the Pilots' aforementioned ingredients are usually a recipe for disaster.
However, Frontier struggled just as badly in all aspects except the foul line, but it didn't make nearly as many trips. The Cougars had 20 turnovers, missed upwards of 40 shots from the field, including several point-blank chances on the interior.

If MGM was smart they would remaster the SG1 series and release them in HD. Leterbox is ok but I want the higher resolution. If they can do it to Hogan's Heroes that gotta be able to do it with SG1. And I would guess that if that happens, it would be shown on the new MGM HD channel.
All seasons of SG:1 are presented in 16x9 on the DVD sets (I own the first season... after seeing it on sale years ago)... and all episodes are presented in letterbox on Sci-Fi... though the first two (?) seasons are edited for content on Sci-Fi (language, violence, and nudity in the case of the pilot episode).
Also I read that SciFi was only licensed to show Enterprise in SD/Letterbox and not HD. Not sure if that is true or not. We'll find out.

A few thoughts, as this is a good discussion for hunters, and I mean no disrespect to any posters:
LGP is a theoretical measure of the amount of light that will pass through an objective lens. The term "gathering" is a bit of a misnomer, as the lens doesn't gather anything. It simply allows light to pass through it, so a bigger lens naturally has more area for light to pass through. LGP is typically used in astronomy as sort of a "this telescope could be this good" way.
In sport optics for terrestrial viewing (binoculars, spotting scopes, and riflescopes), exit pupil is much more important than objective diameter, although they are linked. Exit pupil is a simple calculation of objective lens diameter (in mm) divided by magnification. You could also use a micrometer and measure the exit pupil and come up with the same result. For instance a 50mm scope at 10x has a 5mm exit pupil. The human eye when it is healthy and young will dilate to a maximum of about 7mm in low light. As you get older, this number gets a little smaller.
So, in low light your 7mm pupil is only making use of 5mm of exit pupil, because that is what your scope is showing it. If you go to either a bigger objective or lower magnification, the exit pupil will enlarge, providing a brighter image.
That is why when light is low, and you turn your magnification down, you see a brighter image: exit pupil.
During bright to normal viewing conditions, your eye's pupil will be constricted to a size that is smaller than the exit pupil of most scopes regardless of whether they are 40mm or 50mm (and aren't really high magnification), so the images will appear similarly bright. When light gets low, the bigger objective will provide a larger exit pupil, and apparently brighter image.
As far as shooting a marmot at 600 yards at 12x, I would feel quite confident at 12x. I would feel confident at 6x. Think of it this way: The marmot would be magnified twelve times, so it would appear 12 times closer. 600 divided by 12 is 50. Could you shoot a marmot at 50 yards with open sights?

Super voice gone: Pat Summerall dead at 82
DALLAS The voice of football. The NFL's narrator for generations. A master of restraint.
Pat Summerall soothed American television audiences over four decades - his deep, resonant voice and simple, understated style served as the perfect complement to the boisterous enthusiasm of John Madden, his partner in a celebrated pairing that lasted half of the NFL player-turned-announcer's career.
Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center spokesman Jeff Carlton said, speaking on behalf of Summerall's wife, Cheri.
Summerall called 16 Super Bowls and became such a large part of the NFL that it was easy to forget he was the leading voice of the Masters and the U.S. Open tennis tournament, as well.
"He was royalty in the broadcast booth," Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
His final play-by-play words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the game-ending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 20-17.
"It's right down the pipe. Adam Vinatieri. No time on the clock. And the Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI. Unbelievable," Summerall said.
Sparse, exciting, perfect. A flawless summation without distracting from the reaction viewers could see on the screen.
At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as "a treasure" and the "spirit of the National Football League" in a tribute to the partner that the former Oakland Raiders coach badly wanted to keep - and did - when he had to switch networks 20 years ago.
"Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years," Madden said in a statement Tuesday. "Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be."
Summerall played 10 NFL seasons from 1952 to 1961 with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL.
"Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years," CBS Sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist said. "He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone."
Summerall started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of coverage of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and U.S. Open tennis.
When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. Summerall had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was "very saddened" that Summerall didn't get to leave CBS under his own terms.
"Pat Summerall was a hero to me," Nantz said Tuesday. "I treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more generous or kind to a young broadcaster."
A recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving surgery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety.
After an intervention involving, among others, former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, former CBS Sports President Peter Lund and former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beaman, Summerall checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in April 1992.
"I had no intention of quitting, I was having too good a time," Summerall said in a 2000 Associated Press story. "The prescribed stay at Betty Ford is 28 days. They kept me 33 because I was so angry at the people who did the intervention, the first five days didn't do me any good."

The roommate-from-hell thriller "Single White Female" (1992) paired Fonda with another young star, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and she contributed some nice work to the ensemble acting of the twentysomething comedy "Singles" (1992), as the character planning to have her breasts enlarged. Given the chance to carry a film, she starred as a fairly credible (if whining) assassin in "Point of No Return" (1993), the American remake of Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita" (1990), but the movie did not make her a superstar as some had hoped. Fonda put down the gun to play an appealing mother in "Little Buddha" (1993), an aspiring musician in "Camilla" (1994) and a down-to-earth waitress who shares a winning lot... Continue Bio >>

Arlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy's recommended FY 2014 budget would keep class sizes steady, would add new school buses and would provide for merit pay increases for school employees, despite a $23.5 million budget shortfall.
Murphy will formally unveil his budget tonight (Thursday) at a budget work session with the school board. The School Board will adopt the final FY 2014 budget in May.
Murphy's budget takes advantage of a budget surplus from last year and "efficiencies" in custodial staffing, the teen parenting program and gifted teachers, among other programs, to help close the budget gap.

About this font family
In 1994, Christopher Slye decided to design Elmhurst as the best way to learn something about type."I thought that a typeface intended for continuous text would be the most challenging to design," he recalls, "I assumed it would offer the best learning experience."
He attempted a unique and personal design that would remain familiar, usable and versatile; the design became a five-part series, named for the street where he grew up.
Among other uses, Elmhurst is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.

I love that drop shadow. So simple yet so cool. Super cool.

BELLAIRE - Buckeye Local and Bellaire played toe-to-toe for 24 minutes Tuesday night.
The other 8 minutes? Well, let's just say the Panthers were let loose inside the ''House of Champions.''
Buckeye Local broke open a tie game at halftime with a 28-11 scoring explosion in the third quarter en route to a 74-62 triumph.
''We've been really battling hard these last couple of games,'' Panthers coach Greg Haberfield said.
''We've had a tough time putting together a good second half. We've been playing well in the first and coming out flat in the second.''
That all changed Tuesday night.
How? There were numerous factors at play. Bellaire coach J.R. Battista pointed to the Panthers' hot shooting.
''They made their shots and we didn't,'' he said. ''It's that simple. It's called basketball for a reason. You have to put the ball in the basket.''
Buckeye Local did it often during the third quarter. The Panthers dropped in nine field goals during the period, including four of the team's five 3-pointers on the night.
''Those 3s just broke our backs,'' Battista said. ''That third quarter killed us.''
Brennan Czuchran poured in nine of his team-high 16 points during the quarter. But he had plenty of help.
Jon Borkoski scored seven of his 13 points in the quarter, including a pair of 3s.
''We kept our foot on the gas pedal,'' Haberfield said. ''I'm really impressed. We had five guys on the floor playing together. We shared the ball.
''With five guys on the floor playing well everyone got a piece of the scoring, and that's nice to see. It was a team win and I'm proud of them.''
Dylan Dokes didn't score during the pivotal third for the Panthers (5-12), but he was a huge factor in the first, scoring eight of Buckeye Local's first 10 points. He finished with 14.
The Panthers held the lead until the Big Reds (7-10) went on a 7-0 run to grab a 21-19 advantage midway through the second period. Kenny Hess, who finished with 10 points, capped the surge with three.
Bellaire went ahead 27-24 before the Panthers scored the final three points of the half.
''Then, in the second half, we decided to step up our defense,'' Haberfield said. ''They were getting a lot of backdoor cuts and backscreens ... we were not switching and communicating.''
The Big Reds had their opportunities in the third, they just didn't come as easily.
''We missed a lot of easy shots early and we could've built a lead, but they made the plays they had to make and we didn't make enough,'' Battista said.
Michael Neil paced Bellaire with 18 points, while Ty Ramsay added 11.
Buckeye Local returns to action Friday night against Weir at home for Senior Night. Bellaire, meanwhile, visits No.1-ranked Union Local on Thursday.
