Applying for financial aid seems like a daunting process. In fact, it is actually very simple! Please check out our helpful hints and the instructions provided here.
1. Getting Started
To complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will need to:
- Gather your and your parent's 2015 tax information. It is good to file the FAFSA based on a completed tax return, but it is far better to file the FAFSA early with estimates rather than later with exact figures. If you won't have your taxes done by early February, estimate.
- Apply for a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID online. This will serve as your electronic signature on your FAFSA application.
- Have your parent apply for a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID online. This will serve as your parent's electronic signature on your FAFSA application.
2. Ready to Submit the FAFSA
The FAFSA is available online.
- File your FAFSA between January 1 - March 1 in order to receive the most consideration for all types of financial aid. Remember that funds are a limited resource, so FAFSAs received March 1 or later may result in a reduced financial aid package.
- Complete all sections about you, your school plans, and financial information. List Saint Louis University as a destination for your results (our school code is 002506).
- Sign with your electronic signature (FSA ID). Don't forget to have your parent sign with the FSA ID as well or your FAFSA will be rejected.
- Submit your FAFSA.
- Print out and keep a copy of your submitted information for your records.
3. After You File Your FAFSA
Here is what to expect after you file the FAFSA:
- You will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). Check it for accuracy and follow up on any requests for additional information.
- Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be calculated from information you provided on the FAFSA and will be listed on your SAR. The EFC is the amount your family is expected to contribute toward your education for the upcoming year.
- If you have special or extraordinary circumstances go to our forms section at the office of student financial services or go to our contact webpage.
- Your financial aid award will be mailed or emailed to you. Read and follow all instructions.

Grad Lands in Soccer Spotlight in Solomon Islands
The team departed Rendova Island in a dugout canoe powered, barely, by a tiny outboard motor. Between the players, assembled ad hoc from the island's villages, the meager amount of equipment they had and their coach, Jeffrey Allen '00, the canoe was filled to capacity as it puttered through the Wana Wana Lagoon, bound for Gizo.

Minister Paul Magnette modernises the Development Cooperation Law
Today, the Foreign Affairs Committees voted on the bill submitted by Minister for Development Cooperation Paul Magnette, which is intended to modernise the Law of 25 May 1999 on the Belgian Law of International Development Cooperation. This important law, which forms the legal foundation for the principles and methods of Belgian cooperation, was in need of a thorough revision after 12 years in order to be more in alignment with the changing international context and the new challenges with which development cooperation is confronted: the arrival of new players in development funding, the larger role of civil society and the challenges associated with global public goods (access to healthcare, combatting AIDS and other pandemics, maintaining natural resources, etc.).
The need to modernise the law clearly came to the forefront in recent years during sessions of the Parliamentary committees, the States General of Development Cooperation, and from the assessment of the law carried out by the Special Evaluator for Development Cooperation.
Today, development cooperation represents a dual challenge. On the one hand, it is critically important that the aid is allowed to work more effectively. On the other hand, in a context within which the effect of other policy measures on this aid is growing ever larger, it is fundamental that the policy consistency benefiting development cooperation be guaranteed. For example, the situation in which efforts made with regard to development cooperation are undermined by other policy measures, which are sometimes taken within the same countries or institutions, must be avoided. Minister Paul Magnette's bill must therefore also:
- make the Belgian official development aid more effective through better alignment with the policy in the receiving countries, which are responsible for their own development; through improved coordination between (among others, the European) donors; and through a more results-oriented approach and the further development of a democratic development policy in the countries, together with the local civil society;
- make the aid more sustainable, with an integrated approach concerning climate change and with attention paid to the three pillars of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental);
- strengthen the policy consistency benefiting development cooperation;
- base Belgian Development Cooperation on an approach that is founded on rights, in which the social-economic and cultural rights (health, education, decent work, housing, food, etc.), civil and political rights (discrimination, freedom of expression, etc.), and the right to development are key points.
Minister Paul Magnette added: "Economic development is an essential element for developing countries to rise up out of poverty and free themselves from dependency upon aid, but of course, not under just any circumstances. I have therefore, based on the ILO's Decent Work Agenda, put the social economy, the strengthening of local production capacity, local entrepreneurship, fair trade, etc. on equal footing. This approach then considers development cooperation to be more a question of justice than of charity."

Deputies: Woman threatens to stab, run people down over unpaid debt
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 4:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 4:39 p.m.
PALM COAST — A 20-year-old St. Augustine woman is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after she made an unsuccessful attempt to collect a debt, according to a Flagler County sheriff's spokeswoman.
Brianna Holman drove to Palm Coast about 1 p.m. Tuesday to collect $300 from Jeritz Jones, a Luther Drive resident, spokeswoman Debra Johnson said Wednesday.
"When Jeritz told Holman he did not have the money, an argument ensued until another resident of the home told Holman to leave," Johnson said. "She refused and deputies said she went to her vehicle where she retrieved a large knife."
Witnesses told deputies that Holman threatened to stab people, Johnson said. Someone else at the residence came out with a baseball bat. The situation escalated when Trelane Jackson, one of the men Holman reportedly threatened, hit her back window with the bat.
"Holman got back into her vehicle, backed out of the driveway and then accelerated toward the people standing outside the home in an attempt to strike them with the vehicle," Johnson said. "However, she lost control and her vehicle wound up striking a minvan, which was parked in the driveway."
The van was pushed into the garage door by the force, Johnson said.
"Holman was arrested by deputies as she stood in the median of the road, holding a knife and shouting directly in front of the Luther Drive home," Johnson said.
Holman was charged with seven counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility where she is being held on $7,000 bail.

Change is a constant in life. There are times I feel nimble and motivated. During those times, it seems as though life is forging ahead on a track of well-laid plans. There are other times when the constant momentum of running a business and staying fully engaged in my personal life in a meaningful way all seem to blur from one to-do list into another. My cup bubbles over, and not necessarily in the best sense of the metaphor. When my best laid plans run up against unexpected obstacles, I often wonder what it would be like to have the counsel of a coach, a trusted advocate and mentor to help me navigate, assess and fine tune my direction and goals. I've listened to friends share their experiences with life and career coaches. Those who have had positive experiences are enthusiastic proponents of the investment.
But, I'll admit that I'm a loyal student of research. I believe in the value of doing one's "homework" ahead of time. In considering the investment in a personal and career coach, I approached the subject with my typical fervent curiosity. I read up on experts in traversing transitions and cultivating positive personal change. Next, I narrowed my focus to a career coaches who specialize in working with women in business and entrepreneurial roles.
In the course of my research, I've come across some fascinating people, books, and video clips. Through a bit of serendipity, I had the opportunity to engage a brilliant woman in this conversation. Her name is Benecia Ponder, Certified Executive Life Coach and founder of Benecia Ponder Enterprises, a full-service, personal and professional development company with a mission to help entrepreneurs build successful enterprises and total life well-being. She is trained by the Coaching and Positive Psychology Institute, and is a thought-provoking sage, galvanized by a wealth of life and business experience. A former lawyer and business development strategist, Benecia has a concise methodology to improve work performance and effectiveness, and is equally well attuned to the emotional and spiritual needs of women in business — a high energy group, susceptible to over committing, who routinely overlook their own personal development in exchange for taking on more in all areas of their career and personal life.
I am a passionate believer in the merit of shared knowledge, and inclusive support of fellow entrepreneurs. Having said this, it seems only fitting to share a few key insights that Benecia outlined for me as the groundwork for women in search of a coach.
Question: What kind of coach should one invest in? What kind of coaches should be avoided?
Benecia Ponder: The field of coaching is still relatively new and there is no set standard for the profession, anyone can put up a website and claim to be a coach. For this reason, it is extremely important that people seeking coaching services do their research before hiring a coach. The top qualities you should look for in a coach are:
1. Someone with experience and proven results. Look for testimonials and ask for referrals.
2. Someone who specializes. You wouldn't go to a criminal attorney to handle your divorce or a podiatrist to perform your heart surgery. Recognizing the value in specialization is equally as important in the field of coaching.
3. Someone who is credible. Credibility starts with the coach's credentials. You want a coach that has received formal training and adheres standards of professional ethics such as those set by the International Coaching Federation.

UCLA head coach Jorge Salcedo has landed the top-ranked recruiting class in the country for the second year in a row, signing seven standouts to National Letters of Intent.
Four of the seven players in this class hail from the state of California, with one player coming from Washington, another coming from Ghana, and one other hailing from Virginia. In addition, five players have either competed for or trained with the U.S. Youth National Team, with two players earning caps for the team. Also, six of the seven players in this class are ranked among the top 150 recruits in the country according to both College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer.
The Bruins have already added forward Larry Ndjock from Loyola University Maryland as a part of this class, as he enrolled at UCLA in the winter and has already joined the program.
"The 2014 class is one that we are very proud of," head coach Jorge Salcedo said. "The group of guys that will be joining the UCLA Soccer family will have a tremendous impact both on and off the field. Throughout the recruiting process it became apparent that they were a special group because of their talents as soccer players, but also because of their desire to be the best they can be in all facets of their lives. This class absolutely addresses some of our needs for the 2014 season and we could potentially add more players down the road for this class. Each of them have a technical base that we require to play the dominant possession style we attempt to achieve game in and game out. The electric pace that will come from the attacking players in this group will add a dimension that will allow us to vary the way we attack teams. This is very exciting for us, because the 2014 class will join a team that brings back several integral players from a successful 2013 season.""
This is the fifth time that Salcedo has brought in the No. 1 ranked recruiting class in his tenure as UCLA head coach, signing the top-rated classes in 2004, 2006, 2010, 2013 and now 2014. The Bruins have also won six Pac-12 titles under Salcedo's leadership, have been to two College Cups (2006 and 2011) and have reached the NCAA Quarterfinals four times (2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011). In addition, Salcedo has been named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year on four occasions and has produced 22 MLS Draft picks in his 10 years as head coach. UCLA opened its spring spring schedule this past Wednesday with a closed door scrimmage against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Head coach Jorge Salcedo: "Seyi may be the sleeper of our class after we identified him at our summer camp. He is arguably the best central forward in the state of Washington and the fastest player in the Seattle Sounders Academy. Seyi is another player with tremendous raw pace who can keep teams honest with his ability to run behind and score goals while also checking underneath to combine and link play. We are very excited that Seyi decided to become a Bruin."

Chavez has the ability to play multiple positions in the attack and his ideas and execution in the final third will help our team for years to come. Christian knows how to compete for playing time as he currently plays on of the the most talented youth teams in the country in the LA Galaxy Academy. He gives us another four years of having a Chavez in our program after his brother, Victor, was drafted by the Portland Timbers this year after scoring some very big goals for UCLA."

We think Will has a huge upside and we couldn't be more excited that he turned down a professional contract to become a student-athlete at UCLA."

Abu comes from the Right to Dream program and is breath of fresh air, as he's extremely appreciative and grateful for every opportunity presented to him. He doesn't know the meaning of entitled and always puts the team first. Abu is an electric forward who has the pace and intelligence to stretch the game with the ability pull a rabbit out of a hat to win games. Adding Abu's raw pace to our attack will add a different dimension from our successful teams the past few years and he's someone we are very excited to blend into our group.

Making contracted operations work
The 1.5-mgd tertiary-treatment wastewater reclamation facility has operated within all permit standards since startup in January 2010, thanks in part to CitectSCADA process control. The master lift station's new Allan Bradley MicroLogix 1100 control device and ABB ACS550 variable frequency drive, a $25,000 investment that's lowered electricity consumption at the station by more than one-third, connect to the new facility. Photo: Woodard & Curran
At $50,000, chloramination was less than 5% of the cost required to design and build a new filtration facility. Within five months, trihalomethanes (THM) and HAA5s (the haloacetic acid family) compliance was achieved. Complaints about taste and odor are down by 90%. Photo: Woodard & Curran

CHALLENGE: Simultaneous system upgrades to reclaim wastewater and avoid regulatory finesOWNER: City of Inverness, Fla.CONTRACT OPERATOR: Woodard & Curran Inc., Portland, MaineWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY: 1.5 mgdWASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY: 1.5 mgdTERMS: 5 years at $1.6 million/year; reviewed and amended annually to accommodate treatment chemicals pricing
One way to tackle complexity is to expand resources. That's what the City of Inverness, Fla., did when faced with having to start up a new wastewater reclamation facility, resolve a drinking water consent order, and re-tool the asset management strategy for 32 wastewater pumping stations within 18 months.
Inverness had engineering and design plans to upgrade its secondary treatment facility into an electronically controlled, tertiary-treatment facility that produces effluent acceptable for public reuse. While more states are urging utilities to reclaim rather than discharge treated effluent, Florida is somewhat unique in its mission to reuse as much treated wastewater as possible.
City Manager Frank DiGiovanni wanted to ensure service wouldn't be disrupted during construction and the system would operate as intended. He also wanted to add depth to his utilities team and expand their expertise. He brought in Woodard & Curran Inc., a national consulting and operations firm that, among other services, provides technical support to start up and operate advanced biological nutrient removal facilities. "Our plan was to utilize the latest treatment technologies to produce high-quality reusable water," he says. "We wanted to establish a partnership that would provide us with a team of skilled professionals who routinely operate these types of facilities. It was important to us to find a firm that could engage quickly and mesh with our staff."
Contract operators face significant challenges, not the least of which is instilling a new working culture with former community employees who join the firm to form the operations team. "Regarding a contract service provider as a hostile presence diminishes the arrangement's value for both parties," DiGiovanni says. "We expect a service provider to make those individuals better operators, design a career path for them, and utilize their skills in new or different ways."
Luckily, DiGiovanni meant what he said.
My project management team was expected to attend weekly city staff meetings, provide updates, offer recommendations, and proactively contribute to capital planning efforts as the new wastewater reclamation facility underwent construction.
City employees were encouraged to interview with Woodard & Curran for specific utility positions. Five employees made the transition, bringing with them valuable institutional knowledge. Three additional staff members were hired and a Woodard & Curran project manager rounded out the new team. No jobs were lost.

Baby slings and carriers have been an integral part of nursing, holding and mothering a child for centuries throughout almost every culture. There is a closeness that a sling provides that no other method of holding a baby can provide. The warmth, the heartbeat, the bond between mother and child all of these are at the center of what is important in parenting a new baby. Baby slings are the most effective and simple way to maintain the warm, natural connection a child has with its mother. It is important to choose a baby carrier that works best for you and baby. The style that you choose, for example a serene sling or a wraparound, will determine the comfort level, the position your baby is in and in what ways you will be able to maneuver with the carrier on. We carry a variety of carriers, including formal, organic and even baby wraps.

Victim of N.C. Highway 150 wreck listed in good condition
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
The driver of a car that hit several small trees and ran down an embankment Thursday was listed in good condition Friday in a hospital.
Karen Lawson Garrett, 47, of Nascar Fan Alley, was a patient at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. A hospital spokeswoman said there was no record for her passenger, Thomas Garrett, 45, of the same address.
The accident occurred about 6 a.m. on N.C. Highway 150 North near Circle Drive. Karen Garrett was traveling north when her 2000 Nissan ran off the road to the right, struck multiple trees and collided with a rock-faced embankment, according to a Highway Patrol report. The car came to rest off the road.
Karen Garrett was pinned inside the vehicle, and her husband was entrapped, according to firefighters with the A-RC-H Fire Department. Both were extricated from the Nissan, which was totaled.
N.C. 150 was shut down for about an hour for troopers to investigate the wreck.
Karen Garrett was charged with failure to maintain lane control.

Never again, I won't hesitate I know where you've been, and it's a little late Should've gone with my first instinct, never given you a second chance Third time and I need a break, never given my common sense Hold me close, and you try to justify I see the truth, but it isn't in your eyes Sure as tomorrow's gonna bring regret, say you changed but I don't hold my breath Got too little time to get upset, I know that better days are coming next We've been through this before, do you need directions to the door?

We whipped our hair right through May with this tune when the original video for "Major" came out. The lead singer of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour has a voice totally not of this time – kind of reminds us of a young Michael Jackson at times.
Now, experience the brilliance once more with this super funky live version performed for a German TV documentary. Boogietastic.

All sorts of media outlets are calling the just-wrapped London Olympic Games the year of the woman, but have we really come that far? When it comes to judging a female athlete on her appearance, Time magazine says yes—and no.
On one hand, British Parliament member Jo Swinson, cofounder of the U.K. Campaign for Body Confidence, tells the magazine there's an "honesty" about the way these women look.
"It's very obvious that it takes them hours and hours of dedication and discipline to look the way they do," she tells Time. "… It's one of the times we actually get to see women without makeup on television."
And athletes come in all shapes and sizes.
"You can see that a fit and healthy body can look different on different people," Phillippa Diedrichs of the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of the West of England, Bristol, tells the magazine. "It doesn't only look one way."
True, but some female athletes—including four-time British swimming medalist Rebecca Adlington, Australian swimmer Leisel Jones, the Brazilian soccer team, British gold medal-winning heptathlete Jessica Ennis and British weight lifter Zoe Smith—were called everything from "whale" to "a bit heavy" to looking like a "bloke," according to Time.
"There's still a sort of pressure to be perfect in the Olympics," psychologist Liz Jenkinson tells the magazine. "And it's often the more conventional-looking sports men and women and those in the skimpiest outfits that get the most media coverage."
Seems to us the "year of the woman" will be the year everyone can finally focus on how much butt women are kicking—and not what their butts look like while doing so.

Cave Aged
Quick View
Grana PadanoRough handling makes tasty Italian cheese: from two milkings comes raw cow milk that is partially skimmed, cooked twice, and bathed in brine before aging for at least a year. All that attention makes a fragrant, sweet, and nutty cheese with a very firm texture. It's not Parmigiano - similar, but not exactly the same - but like its cousin, you can use it for grating, cooking, and as a fine table cheese. Read More

On June 19, the Engineering department at Children's at Hughes Spalding earned the Camfil Farr 5-Star Energy Award for using the highest-end filtration system available. The filters they utilize are LEED compliant, like the rest of the hospital, resulting in some of the cleanest air in the city.
"We do our best and take pride in patient and customer satisfaction and enhancing the environment is what Children's strides for," says Ben Yancey, Engineering Manager, who accepted the award on behalf of the Engineering Department. He implemented the filters two years ago.
Armando Brunetti, President of Camfil Farr USA, stated, "This is evidence of Children's long-term commitment to providing clean indoor air for your employees and contributing to today's green effort to conserve energy and reduce waste."
Joey Chapman of Thermal Recovery Systems presented the award to Ben and said Children's is meeting and exceeding expectations in the filter and energy worlds. "This is something Ben needed to be recognized for," Joey says. "Often, people don't realize when someone has taken an extra step. The bottom line is that Children's should have some of highest quality air in city—they've taken every step to ensure it."
In addition to complimenting Ben on his green efforts, Joey sings Ben's praises as a employee. "Ben is such a great guy," he says. "He gets here at 5:30 a.m. every morning and walks around to shake everyone's hand to see how they're doing. He's a top notch guy and it's a pleasure to do business with him."

Health Care Costs are on the Rise in Tustin
With health care costs on the rise, saving money is of the utmost importance, and we're here to help. Whether you need single coverage or a family health insurance plan, it can be difficult to find the best plan to suit your needs. Everyone needs health insurance in order to protect themselves against rising cost of health care in the U.S. Without health insurance, even a routine visit to the Tustin doctor's office can be very expensive.
Affordable Health Insurance
If you are employed for a company of 20 or more people, chances are your employer will pay for at least half of your monthly insurance premium. On the other hand, if you are self-employed or your company doesn't offer health insurance, you may want to consider a private health insurance plan. The bottom line is that if you don't have health insurance in Tustin, CA, you'll have to pay 100% of your medical costs.
Health Insurance Changes Constantly
President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law in March 2010 in order to assure that everyone in Tustin that needs health care coverage gets what they need. Presently, no one really knows the full impact of the new Act, however, it will affect many people across the country in positive way. For example, by 2014, people in Tustin will be able to purchase a health care plan in a health insurance exchange. As a result, medical insurance companies can no longer impose any limitations on pre-existing conditions. For example, if you have a chronic illness, the insurance companies cannot deny you coverage because of your illness.
Health Insurance Quotes Make Choosing Easy
When it comes to Health Insurance in Tustin, there are a few factors to consider. For example, if you are self-employed you'll have to buy a health insurance policy on your own. Or, if you are 65 years or older, you qualify for government-funded programs like Medicare or Medicaid. However, most individuals in Tustin are fortunate enough to get insurance from their employer. If you are one of the lucky ones, you can choose from a broad range of different health insurance plans and options. With so many options available to you, contact a health insurance expert to get and compare health insurance quotes. That is the best way to know you are making the right choice.

Increasing the interest of students and the general public in the fascinating subject of science has been the goal of the Science Night event since it began. The topics Dr. Halvorsen presented-fitness, nutrition and obesity-however, resonated with many attendees, including ARCC biology students.
"I agree with Dr. Halvorsen," says ARCC anatomy and physiology student, Sarah Sullivan. "If we taught children about the importance of exercise and eating healthy the same way we teach the importance of not smoking and wearing seatbelts there would be less obese children. This could help turn around the problems with obesity and negative health."

Reviews for Makeover Cleo's Potato Salad
"yes i would make it again love it. Also i am looking to make Wanda Sage's Surprise Pudding. I do not know how to get it. Sounds delicious and can't wait to make it. Please help. Thanks Roni07"
"If you don't think the recipe is for you, SHUT UP. The rest of us will decide for ourselves whether to make ir again or even once."
"The picture doesn't do justice to the potato salad. The colors match the salad and make it look unattractive; contrast color is needed to show the salad at its best. Wanda, I also would love to have your Surprise Pudding recipe. I'm new here so don't know how TOH handles requests like this. And you're right, moderation is the key."
"The picture does not do justice to the potato salad. All the colors are pale and there is no color contrast with the salad to highlight it. I'd make the salad and enjoy it but again, Wanda is right, moderation is the key. It's not something to eat daily."
"This recipe is DEFINITELY NOT HEALTHY by my standards...ie:bacon, whipping cream. Yikes!!"

Chuao Chocolatier was one of my biggest discoveries back when I was beginning to expand my horizons with candy tasting. I first tasted their work at the All Candy Expo in 2007 and was immediately hooked. I believe it was the Spicy Maya ChocoPod that I tried first and had sold me completely. Since then I have eaten my way through all their offerings and was excited to learn of a new chocolate flavor that they cooked up.
The newest member to the Chuao Bar and ChocoPod family is the Firecracker: dark chocolate, chipotle, salt and popping candy. What a fascinating combination! It certainly fits the company motto of "Unusual Unexpected & Delicious". Another point I'd like to make is that Chuao use the Venezuelan chocolate El Rey for all their confections. This is part of the reason why it stands out to me so much, since I am a big fan of the El Rey couveture.
The bar smells chocolatey and spicy. There's a heat to the aroma and it's hard to lay my finger on exactly what it is.
The chocolate is firm and has an excellent snap. Upon the first bite, it's briefly sweet, then you feel the popping candy start to crackle on your tongue. The tingling sensation from the candy holds your attention until the chipotle kicks in, and I must say, this is the strongest chili presence I've had in chocolate to date. It's a very smooth, smoky and powerful burn that matches the 60% bittersweet chocolate well. It leaves a burn still even once you've swallowed, and you can feel the heat all over your mouth and throat. It was never too much spice, but it's certainly not for the weak and delicate.
This is an excellent example of how chocolate can be a medium of delivering interesting flavors while not directing too much attention to itself, and still be delicious.

just been playing around with a sample list MINOX ZA5 1.5-8x 32 scope i picked up from SWFAs sample list.
some of you have probably been following my attempts to scope the ar-15 , and this minox looks like a winner on paper. i had been hearing how great the glass is on these and so on from a lot of bench shooters. with steep 50% off retail prices i thought it was time to try some of this "conquest' level glass and the 5x mag features. --
minox scopes has had a reputation for "mushy" turrets , the one i got seems to have very positive clicks in windage and elevation, there is a bit of slack in the elevation , generally very positive feel in the hardware of this unit. it feels similar to the vortex scopes i have on hand except they don't have the slack in the elevation this minox has.
just playing around with the scope i have noticed several things --
compared to the excellent vortex viper it is not brighter that you can see, it does bring in more fine details like tree bark when looking from a sunny field into a dark patch of underbrush. color is very good. can't say for sure it is better than the viper, due to my old beat up eyes, but it is better than the diamondback and the optisan by leaps and bounds in the color and fine details.
on 1.5x it is really 1.5x --when zoomed out to 8x it seems a little more than 8x best i could tell. one of the great features of this scope is it don't seem to lose much light zooming up from low power to high, i suppose that is where the brighter glass come in mostly in the higher ranges of magnification.
it seems as bright on 8x as any were--
this scope has the german #4 , minox has their #4 rect opened up a little more than zeiss does. however i hardly notice it and it seems quite nice to me.
the sweet spot on this scope seems to be 3x and up--though is seems OK down on the lower settings. those low settings and long eye relief make the scope a bit fiddely.
and now were down to the "engineering give and take" on the minox. this scope is set up for a big game rifle --it has oodles of eye-- relief 4"+ hell this one seems to have 5"--but that may just be me. it also has a very tight eye box think like the opposite of the ACOG, where you got your eyeball crammed up the rear lens--LOL! this minox-- you better find some space --stick it one there like it was a 338LM and your getting all-most enough eye relief to see out the damn thing.
this adds up to a very challenging scope to set up for an ar-15. it has to be mounted perfectly , you head has to be in the perfect spot , you'll have to train yourself to do everything perfectly when you throw this set up on your shoulder. there is no slack--none at all--
the eye box is so tight i am thinking of returning this one-- thats how tight is is. and we once trained with shit like this--so i ain't no stranger to fiddely hardware.
had minox gave a little on the eye relief went to say a more normal 3"-3.5" got a little more eye box , they could have opened up the field of view some more too-- i think they would have had a world beater on their hands.
as it is a viper is all most as good in the glass and so much more easy to work with --it ain't funny.
all this equals===== if your going to be quick with this scope your going to have to work at it.
i got a feeling though that it will grow on me --despite its some what iffy decisions minox made on eye relief and FOV --it does have great glass--and the more i use it the better is seems.
call me in a week--LOL--
